True, everything costs money, there is no free lunch and even when you want to pee you have to pay a certain amount of money, life is hard while work is getting harder and the name of necessity can never be tolerated, meaning money is something that can make you survive longer, and yes I agree with you that this is what makes someone desperate to make gambling a place to earn, and one of the causes may be the factor of circumstances that are experiencing money difficulties. Putting hope that gambling will be able to change their lives by getting a lot of winnings, but however this is a wrong idea and maybe stupid.

This is why anyone should not gamble when he is in trouble especially when experiencing financial problems in his life, because gambling is not an activity to solve problems, this is nothing more than a place of recreation for anyone who is bored. Ending your life is the worst situation as a result of gambling in my opinion, you sacrifice your own life for your mistake in thinking or understanding what gambling is really about, I am sure that the person is in a desperate situation with full of pressure which in the end makes a ridiculous decision by ending life.

If there is no catch, then 1BTC without playing is what I would take.

This is because the bigger reward of 5BTC needs you to take a risk of playing but the 1BTC is risk free. Even though greed might make you go with the higher reward, the smaller reward (by no means actually small) is a confirmed pay.

This is how logic comes in play which gamblers lack or have decayed over the years of gambling addiction.

we can't deny the fact the prediction sites sometime gives out sure games but Its not my thing to rely on their prediction. What I do is that after picking the games I will be staking for the week, I occasionally visit those site to look at people's opinions but I have found out that in the long run, it doesn't favour me that  much cause I have to make adjustment to most of my prediction and at the end of the day I end up loosing some of my games.

When it comes to our individual gambling strategy, it's more of doing and sticking with what works best for you cause at the end of the day, gambling isn't product of our instinct or people's popular opinion. It's a product of luck and the outcome of the game.

I was wondering if you have certain rules for your gambling? And when you bet with a small or large amount of money, do you still follow that rule? If not, it may be in your psychology, because when you bet with a larger amount of money, your psychology may not be as comfortable as when you bet with a small amount, thereby leading to making the wrong decision. If you have followed your rules but the same situation still occurs, you should try changing to another betting website. As far as I know, some gamble games with machines are easily tampered with the winning or losing ratio. When the bet amount is more on one side, the result will usually come out on the other side. That's how casino owners make money.

If children are given the freedom to gamble then what is at stake is not only material losses in the form of money, but also their future. Parents are fully responsible for ensuring that their children future runs normally, and that they are not addicted to gambling and other negative things. All parents certainly hope that their children lives will be better and more successful than themselves, only parents whose unhealthy way of thinking will allow their children to enter the world of gambling. It is important not to gamble at home, in front of children and in front of other family members, because it can affect them and their perspective on gambling. They will think that gambling is not a bad thing, even though in a broader scope, not everyone has a good perception of gambling.

Flexing is no longer a thing when it's all about peace of mind and the amount of money that you've won. As many won't be happy with your achievement, it's just best to remain silent and enjoy what you've got.

You don't have to be showy with all those stuff that you have won and brag it on the public. Lowering your profile is the new flex onto this day because you have to value your peace.

It is very sad and also a big coincidence that in many of this tragic events, those who end up being harmed are either not from the country or the city, basically tourists, hopelly this is nothing life-threatening so they can continue to enjoy this sport without the fear of stepping in an stadium for the rest of their lives.
Football, as the king sport it is, obviously it makes people to lose their sense of morality sometimes and makes them to do stupid things, because how invested they feel as fans of certain clubs.

It reminds me the occasion when Brazil lost to Germany im the final match of the World Cup in 2014, I am pretty sure there were riots in the Brazilian cities that same night. It is okey to vent one's feelings and anger, but someone is not supposed to harm anyone physically or economically, for Gods sake. 

      -      Well, you have a point about that. Having a decision is a matter of choice; if the time comes that an addicted gambler wants to let go, it is considered his choice, and he may have seen that it is in his best interest to give up gambling. .

Then one more thing: we can go through everything with a proper discussion and a proper reminder to them that we don't need to get angry or yell at them. That is why our understanding must be broad in all circumstances.

There's nothing wrong in checking betting sites to verify your own prediction, but you should come out with your own prediction first and verify it and not checking these sites and influencing your own prediction.
For you to come out your own prediction you need to know the games that you're betting, and you can only cultivate your knowledge about the game if you have deep interest in the sport.
Like you I also trust my prediction I experiences losses and winnings but there's a sense of fullfillment if you got it right based on your own effort.

The only thing that is difficult is that it is very unpredictable, so you will be gambling a bit, especially if you have no idea about football teams.
Because it's also an advantage if you have an idea or know about football game teams, right?

So other gamblers who have an idea about football teams are the ones who have a high chance of winning when they bet on which team they think will actually win.

That's why people tell to remain low profile when you've been winning such amounts. It could be small for you but to your friends upon knowing so, they're going to suck out each cent that they can to you. I am not telling that all of them are the same but most likely many of them are.

If you've won some gambling money, you don't have to brag about it. I know that the pride is there and not everyone wins some money as they gamble.

But control yourself too and don't be too public with your winnings or else, you have to face the consequences upon doing so.

In my opinion, I would sum it all up to addiction to gambling.  With addiction, all other negative emotions and feelings are bound to follow sooner.
An addicted gambler would be greedy, selfish and desperate. Such an individual would be bound to do just about anything to keep playing in false unrealistic high expectations of wining some good money. Such people are not strangers to selling off their properties for cash to satisfy the deep urge to gamble and would sell, steal and creates various schemes in order to get the money to gamble.

I ordinarily don’t get surprised when I come upon acts like this but addicts continue to come up with new and surprising ideas for getting money to satisfy their desires.

This is the headache we face in online dealings and it is not peculiar to gambling, but it is so less with formal establishments like brokerage companies these days. I guess it's because of the way things still are in the online environment where there is no proper conductor, monitoring and regulations that can incur heavy sanctions, which is why any business online could decide to make the earth a living hell for their customers. I can't just wait for that day to come when true fairness will be inculcated in everything we do online, it is only then that all that you narrated above and even worse will stop.

Although to date, I've not had any issue with casinos but I wouldn't pretend that those I know have not, notwithstanding, if you investigate the situation, you would realise that the casinos are mostly at fault or they are just overbearing in nature due to their selfish interest. However, if it is still the issue of KYC, it is the least, and I believe that those who are being targeted for the stress are those who did not do the KYC from the beginning and/or are the people who want to withdraw so big or are good at their gambling. This is why I advise people to do their KYC from the beginning, and when they are duly certified by the casino and they are later asking for extra documents and start rejecting them, then you should know that something is truly fishy.

I've rarely visited prediction sites, if ever. Maybe with relatively unknown/newer teams that entered the scene? But usually, for famous teams, I have a preconceived notion that came from the results of their past tournaments as well as scrims/qualifiers. I've also entertained the idea of looking at prediction sites before to see who's above or below between the two teams/players, but I've never really done it since I'm afraid it might influence my bet too much.

I do believe that when we win in a casino, it is other people's losses, because the casino is a round business very well squared mathematically when things develop in the business, of course in the long term, the return on investment of the casino owners is better, this considering in part what the house advantage means, but in general terms I see that every time a player wins, it is because one or many players lose, it is something similar to what happens with the exchanges, the people who make money is the money that other traders lose, very rarely the money of the exchange is the one that is committed, this type of business is very good, that is why the exchanges, the casinos are always profitable Businesses , at the same time minus that is what I consider can still be taken as a big deal.

Maybe I'm wrong when there are some players who are whales, when they win many millions of dollars in a casino, I think that the casino has to assume that responsibility and that outflow of Money, however they must have very large money to cover this type of liabilities It is very Difficult for a casino to become decapitalized, because I have always believed that the people who have Extra money, that they have left over , are moving it Aound, looking for new Investments outside the area where they are Involved

Wow. This is a pretty interesting practice. I haven't heard of it before. If it is comfortable with you, what country is it. I would like to know more about it.

In my country, wake are always quite solemn depending on the age of the person who has passed on. What happens there is more of a religious ceremony where there is a priest, a sermon, and singing of hymns. There are no games, just some good music and dance to celebrate the life of the deceased but his depends on the age of the person who passed on.

I would not say that a gambler only gambles for entertainment, of course every gambler has an interest in earning money that we cannot ignore. But we can bring control there. Trying to make a small amount of money from gambling is not addictive. But some gamblers want to change their life by gambling, they want to move up from their positions quickly. Some gamblers are so greedy that they consider gambling as their main occupation to the exclusion of other activities. I have seen many who manage their gambling in their workplace as well. They consider money as a source of income. Of course gamblers should do anything within limits.
