This kind of thinking is also very useful when people invest, after all how many times we have seen on the past that some people earn great deal of money with altcoins, and instead of selling most of their coins and just keep their original investment there they get too greedy and lose it all? This is a very common occurrence and if we do not want this to happen to us we need to have a plan in order to deal with an unexpected windfall, regardless of the way we may have earned that money.
Money management is a Skill most gamblers lack because when they gamble and win, they always feel that the money is definitely coming through again so they tend to spend that which they have got already any how they feel okay spending it so it's usually good we get advice that will help our money habit just before we happen ro be in such situations.

Having a separate account that hold funds Incase of emergency is very much needed so it will serve as one of the means to helping you keep your money safe, out of reach with no easy Access. been able to access accounts anytime may sometimes contribute to the way we spend because we believe there's always a way out and money somewhere which can always be used. Having a plan to help you put your expenses inorder does go a long way to help ease the stress of spend and at same time having saving as Incase it's not happening ass we did planned out our expenses.

Actually, this is just a matter of self-control for each individual and sometimes everyone's thoughts are different. Of course, what is good is knowing when to stop gambling and not continue losing when they have clearly experienced before. It is very difficult to control yourself when you are emotional because of defeat, but that cannot be blamed considering that human nature is mostly dominated by greed. The importance of having positive things that can be used as a reference for priorities is very important, for example enjoying relaxing time with family or doing holiday activities with friends are also things that can forget about gambling.
Almost every gambler have a good idea about this whole thing and the problem isn't with Knowing what to do or possible solution to their problems buy the issues has always been with taking actions with that which you know already is the problem and thst which you see as possible solution to fix such thing as once.

Self control is something most persons may be aware of and how much it could be of great help to their gambling habit buy because the sense of greed in them which wouldn't let them not to  be able to effectively take action on their habbits to effectively fixt it.  If only people can help themselves enough to have self control, it will be really difficult for them to turn addicted and they will be able to know when you stop since they have good control over their selves to a good extent.

Barcelona used to be calm after entering the opponent's penalty area, pass the ball and let the available player score, but now they seem to have moved away from that old style of play. The chemistry of the team has changed with Xavi. This is not going to happen with names like Romeu, Kounde, Ferran. The team needs quality players, but financial problems are bending Barça's back. It was a match that clearly showed how inept Barcelona's offensive line is. They wasted many clear positions and Villarreal punished them. Definitely one of the most spectacular matches in recent years.
The Old style isn't working no more so it has become necessary they move from it to something new and working, when they had the likes of Messi and Suarez who had betyer creativity with which he will be able to do all of that was when Barcelona was able to do the whole moving into the opponent penalty area.

When Barcelona keeps talking about their financial constraints it really hets me worried because this is a team that's ranked richer than Manchester united, as a matter of fact they are third if not forth richest across Europe so wonder where the financial crises emanates from when teams they happen to be richer than are doing even better and buying players to strengthen the team and achieve more as they should. Xavi is obviously tired with recent happening so it won't be a bad idea if he leaves at once.

Erik Ten Hag have an outstanding team, he's keen on motivating his players to produce good results for the team, in that way, his job is secured at Old Trafford. Manchester United is an elite team that's concentrated on good results, there's definitely no better way than grabbing major awards, winning titles with good streak winnings. I'm acquainted with just one Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford have lost completely, he's facing his own challenges, he's keen on making a rebound but I think its definitely going to be difficult for the englishman.
Motivating the players to getting the best results from them is something ten hag may be trying to do buy may have not gone about it rightly as he should because if he has rightly then his team shouldn't have been suffering this much humiliation they have been subjected to this long enough.

The coach ten hag is also one of the reasons rashford isn't performing well as he used to be when he was known for his brilliance across Europe but then if has happened that as at this time he's facing some challenges personally which has affected his performance so bad buy he will definitely get back again on his feet with a better form where he becomes sound., Personally I don't see the much good to ten hag is doing to Manchester united so it will be fine if he leaves and give way for another coach who can do better to come take over, because Manchester united has got a good squad to work with.

Liverpool will forever remember Jurgen Klopp because he made them what they are now on the premier League however Liverpool will never be able to have a coach like Jurgen Klopp because his coaching skills is so good like that of pep Quardiola, truly Jurgen Klopp deserve an award because he has done so much for Liverpool.
The track records of klop at Liverpool is such that can't be forgotten in a haste because they spam through years he's spent with Liverpool as their head coach, he has maintained a status quo that has presented Liverpool as a big team in the whole of England and across Europe for years, with his experience he was able to manage the team well.

Its very possible Liverpool can possibly get a good coach that can help them Maintain their position as a top team across Europe but the impact of klop in Liverpool over the years can't be forgotten not at all he managed the team skillfully and instill a different mindset in them that helped them maintained a winning mentality in most of their games. There are other good Coach rho they may not be available at the moment but they can be able to coach Liverpool but it will actually make them some time to get to klops standard with Liverpool.

Dortmund is this season couldn't have a good performance like they had in the last season and they lost many points. Even Dortmund is far from the top of the table in the Bundesliga and they are not racing with Leverkusen or Bayern Munich for the title which means it is not as strong as the last season, But PSV is in a better situation and that's why I think PSV got much more chance to win the match and beat Dortmund.
It will definitely not come to me as a surprise if dortmund losses the game at the end of th maych because they haven't been their very best this season, they are a very good team buy then it appears they are not in their best shape in recent times so it's very possible they flop against PSV who has been doing well so far I'm their own league.

PSV has been the top team in their league with so much point difference, even if we know that the eredivisie is less competitive when compared to the UCL but their ability bro be at the top of the table with such point difference of over ten points is a strong message that they shouldn't be underestimated because they have the ability to at any point secure the victory and protect it so well till the end of the game knowing tje game in which they are participating and how much is at stake, Dortmund isn't a small team either so both team will really have it rough actually.

I also think that a draw with ten men is a pretty wise result for Juventus, while the Fiorentina vs Inter Milan match which will take place soon could also be quite an interesting match to watch. Because Fiorentina, who is the host team in today's match, is also a pretty good team this season, so the level of fierceness in their match today is very possible. Moreover, currently Fiorentina is trying to get into the top four by trying to win in today's match even though it will be very difficult for Fiorentina.
I agree, a draw was the best Juventus was able to achieve with their ten men squad playing yesterday from home against Empoli, Juventus would have done better if they had not gotten a red card, just maybe they would have been able to secure another goal before the equalizer which could have sealed their victory against Empoli.

Looking at it again from the perspective that Juventus was playing from home and has got the home advantage over Empoli which even appears as a weak tem when compared to the sqaud Juventus possess is another reason the red card wouldn't have been enough reason to lose thst game. The red card came quiet early at the 16rh minutes before any of the two goals was scored so I expected since Juventus had the first goal, they should have been able to defend their only goal knowing they have limited number of players.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 28, 2024, 07:16:53 PM
As long as PSG gives Luis Enrique freedom, I am sure he will be able to bring PSG to get the title that the PSG president wants.
Luis Enrique has led Barcelona in the past and if this season can bring PSG to a higher ranking it will be new history for Luis Enrique.
The biggest problem is not just the title, but losing Mbappe is a big problem for Enrique, while there is no other candidate who can replace Mbappe.
I think after this Luis Enrique will be a little shaky when he loses his mainstay player.
In Ligue1 PSG is always able to win titles by occupying the highest ranking, but in other leagues such as in the UCL, PSG is still not successful in winning trophies. So that is what Luis Enrique must try to prove his abilities to the PSG president, because the UCL trophy is a trophy that is always sought after by all teams from various leagues. Meanwhile, the issue of the possible loss of a mainstay player like Mbappe at PSG is also an important part that Luis Enrique must think about so that in the near future he can have a thorough plan to find a replacement for Mbappe.
Winning the UCL is some PSG may not be able to achieve this season but the Ligue is still very much achievable by them and as usual they are at the top of the Ligue 1 table with a very good point difference as compared to that which others has got bin the Ligue 1 already so it's with good assertions we can say they will win the Ligue 1 this season.

If Enrique wants to win the UCL this season I'm very optimistic it is not going to be possible buy then he can start to plan for next season because he is qualifed for next seasons UCL so it's very possible he can get it right with the UCL next season of adequate and proper preparations are made from now up  until next season and then for once thy will be able to develop the confidence required for them to be able to dare to win the UCL buy with their current form  I don't see them been able to get the UCL this season.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 28, 2024, 06:52:46 PM
I actually thought it was Bayern Munich. I think Munich is better than Leverkusen this season and I'm sure Munich will beat Leverkusen when the two meet. However, Boniface's injury really had a big influence on Leverkusen's performance. I think a team that relies on one very dominant player will be vulnerable to game inconsistencies if something happens like an injury or that player is in poor form.
You can't predict such because Bayer Leverkusen have been unbeaten from day one and this is not the time for the team to give up because there's a long fight for them. Bayern Munich can only pull to become threat for Leverkusen for the Bundesliga title but they won't be awarded because they're showing no signs of becoming champion this season. Xabi Alonso is managing Leverkusen, and we're quite aware of the top notch qualities he exhibits, he's not here to jeopardize any slight opportunities of winning, he's serious and focused on the title.
Before the fixture between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen is a fixture bet Bayer Leverkusen and b. Monchangladbach so here is an opportunity for Leverkusen so still stay ahead such thst the results form the match between them and Munich wouldn't be of much effect on them, if Leverkusen wins monchengladbach .

I wouldn't want to be hasty about my expectations from that fixture buy I will want to rather look into the circumstances around the fixture which includes their various performance before the game and how well they have been able to maintain their form from now till immediately before the game then I will be able to give a fair speculations about what I will be expecting from this game. I'm very certain it's going to be a rough game for both team but it's going to have very few goals at the end of the game.

It was beyond my expectations. I never thought Barcelona would lose to Villareal especially with a score like that. Barca really played badly. Xavi couldn't give the fans what they wanted. When the Bacelona board first recruited Xavi as coach I thought it would give positive results for Barca because we know Xavi is one of the greatest Barcelona players in history. So he can return to playing tiki-taka like before. This defeat has finished Barcelona and I am increasingly confident that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.
Such humiliation at home is something Barcelona could have avoided but decided to be careless and ended up in such a huge loss that came in so embarrassing, I taught Barcelona has won the game Already when I saw that they were leading 3-2  because I believed Barcelona was a stronger side and will be able to holed the scores to that win till the end of the game.

I think it's time xavi leaves, his tactics aren't working no more his losses are beginning to .w much and almost unbearable for the team and they are not helping the team anymore as they are not making much progress with such results a d they are not even sure of the champions league next season so it's such a poor result for them , Madrid will definitely win the la Liga this season with just little challenge but then the big one is ahead of them which is the UCL an did think they have got plans to winning that aswell.

To be honest, I was surprised by the result of this match. I never thought they were incapable of winning the game against Mönchengladbach. It was beyond my expectations. This result puts them in a difficult position because after 1 more match the next match will be against Munich. This draw puts pressure on Leverkusen because they must win the match against Munich to maintain their position in first place. If Leverkusen won last night at least they wouldn't be so under pressure when they compete against Munich later.
Even if I expected a draw from Leverkusen this evening but a goalless draw was something I never saw coming because I felt Leverkusen will not want to have less point and still be disadvantaged with goals because currently Bayern Munich is ahead of them by goals so invariably Leverkusen has still got some to play before the end of the season.

I'm wishing Leverkusen will win against Munich and that will give them the heads on advantage such that they will further increase the difference in the point that separats Leverkusen away from munich at the top of the table and prospectivness to winning the league by the end of the season.bayern will be able to compete Leverkusen but this season unlike previous seasons, Leverkusen has causd Munich players to drop a little of their ego and just  not underestimate every team again.

I have never been involved in such, by this I mean I have never dreamt before and won the dream in reality but then I wouldn't want to dispute the fact that such actually does happen because I've come across similar story in recent time on a different social platforms where we discussed gambling and I was made to understand it does happen.

In this case it was about a guy who was give  numbers to go and play on Lotto and other number game and he said he was given three out of which three came out as predicted and the rest were very close to the predictions and there's also a story of another who got luck and the money he won  from the gambling was enough to give his a really good face lift after he realized how much he has won.

1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: January 27, 2024, 11:15:25 PM
If it doesn't affect his life I don't think it's an addiction. Addiction is a condition that makes a person lose control over something.
Usually this refers to excessive liking and is driven by a strong desire or passion for one thing. A person who is addicted will usually have no control over what he does, consumes, or uses.
If he can still control his life over gambling, it means it is just a hobby or just fun. Because he understands when it's time to gamble, when it's time for him to stop playing and do activities outside of gambling.
Until it becomes uncontrollable and what such person is yet to be classified as addicted because such person on their own can still control the events of such habits around them, addiction is worse more that as it was described by OP in some cases such person results to seeking professional help

Revisiting what is fun to you and you find as  your hobby is it addiction yet but one should be mindful of such hobby that have such a strong urge on you because it can gradually turn in to addiction at the point when you no longer have control over it and find yourself trying so hard by all means to satisfying such urge for a particular hobby especially one which involves money like gambling dose , then it's important to become mindful of it and not letting it getting a better part of you before you make moves to fixing it.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hey Gamblers, Here's Some Questions for you. Would Love your Responses on them on: January 27, 2024, 11:03:07 PM
1. What's the most effective method for discovering a new online casino when you're seeking a change from your usual options?
  
  • Exploring the Bitcointalk forum
  • Casino advertisements on various online platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, or dedicated websites
  • Taking recommendations from friends
  • Following advice from social media influencers - Most of these influencers have a promo code upon sign up for some bonuses.

2. How would you describe your overall satisfaction with any of the mentioned options?
  • Unsatisfactory
  • Neutral
  • Highly satisfying


4. In your opinion, should online casinos adopt corporate social responsibility practices? If yes, what specific initiatives would you like to see them undertake? If no, what is your reasoning behind it?
Your suggested solutions about effective way of picking a casinos is bad but then it's very unlikely that most gamblers would want to follow through this part rather they would just have their way just as they want probably by a recommendation from a friend or someone they think is better at gambling .

I don't know what method can be used to compel these casinos to keeping to the social responsibility of they are to take up one , because taking up a cooperate social responsibility is easy at the first go, they can just come up with the project and get it fixed the first time but subsequently they will now have to be compelled to continue with it or probably finish up that which they did started so to an extent there may be no need stressing for them to take up one which after you will have to compell them to keep up with such.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 27, 2024, 10:46:02 PM
I have also had gambling experiences like that. A sense of satisfaction is necessary when we get lucky streaks. In fact, we are aware of victory and have to get out. but we are more motivated to keep playing when we seem to be on a streak. sometimes we even up the ante.
the situation reverses when we lose and his ambition changes to pursuing initial capital. this is not a pleasure. I hope I don't experience a situation like that again, and neither will you.
A good satisfactory sense do comes with winnings and it's very normal to experience such. When you are on a winning streak, there's a way you just be  filled with good amount of joy and happiness due to the wins and your confidence is boosted in the fact that you feel better a d confidence in your predictions.

After enjoying a winning streak which is filled with so much excitement and the essence of the entertainment is at this point met because not only did you participate in the gambling but you also win which means another fun as your fun turned out to fill ur purse with some funds which at that point your joys is like an endless one.but then we do not pray for the reverse because the fun will be taken away in totality and sadness may set and suchl persons not settled meanwhile that's the essence of gambling.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 27, 2024, 10:28:58 PM
An opportunity is worth taking, we are into the system to guide our chances of winning. Entertainment is something we should be doing at our free time and not fully focusing on the system because it tends to become risky, not everyone is willing to take that risk. Earning regular profits in the system, is a good push for one to start leveling the system with flow of profits. Gambling is by choice, we become gamblers when we have needs and wants to accomplish, we are only in the space to ensure we pack enough profits that will be able to maintain our standards.
And this mentality has been the reason desperation has set in when some persons are gambling, they become desperate to meeting their needs with the profit they are hoping to make from gambling and that will make the even greedy at some point and this greed usually turns into irresponsibility and gambling without a second taught.

It's really rare except amongst the rich to find some one who gambles for the purpose of just entertainment and nothing more because most others want to see if they can make some extra funds from gambling and be able to fix a few issues around them as at the time they are gambling and if they eventually gets a big win then they will hope to invest in the future although this doesn't apply to everyone as some people are just wasteful.

Father arrested after leaving 2-year-old twins home alone for hours to go gambling, police say[/url]

The urge this man felt to gamble was so high, that he didn't even measure the consequences of leaving two 2 years old kids at home alone to gamble at a local casino for 5 hours straightforward. Imagine the state of mind of this man to give more value to his gambling session than to the lives of his two young kids who could need him anytime.

Luckly there was an attentive neighboor to call the police, otherwise the dangerous dog or any other potential threat on the streets could have severely harmed those kids.
It's really surprising how carefree some persons can be towards their own kinds because of the need to satisfy their gambling urge. At the expenses of the life of the kids around a dog's which pose threat to the lives of his kids yet he was still concerned more on satisfying his urge to gamble.

Arresting the man so that he will understand the gravity of what such negligence which be did on the kids, he should be grateful to his kind neighbor who came to the aid of his kids and help kept them safe els he would have come back home to a dose of sadness after having fun out there already which is something which shouldn't be happening like that, it would be fine if he had requested the service of a nanny or care giver who looks after the kids while he goes about his activities.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 27, 2024, 09:12:23 PM
Juventus started with pressure, but they had to retreat a little more defensively after Milik received a red card after a dangerous move in the 17th minute. The match seemed clear in the first half, and Empoli had a few weak attacks. There was no clear scoring opportunity for either team. I hope the second half will be better. If Juve loses points in this match, Inter and Milan will be even more hungry. Losing points against Empoli in the bottom of the league would be an unforeseen loss for Juve. If Miretti had been able to score that goal at the end of the first half, Allegri would have spoken a little more comfortably, but for now things are not going well for Juve.

I believe that this is the location where Juventus will miss out on the title this season. I had assumed that since Inter Milan is only a point ahead of them, if they play well, they will get a point to compete with Inter Milan. I was surprised that Juventus, who I know to be a very strong team capable of winning trophies, could end the game in a draw. Still, they gave it their best shot, and even though it ended in a draw, they managed to earn a point, which will be better than losing to Empoli. To be honest, if Juventus don't perform well the next time, Inter Milan will likely win three or maybe two titles this season.

The red card could have been a factor that has affected the results the got in this game because the last goal which was scored by their opponent was scored at the later part of the second half after Juventus got a red card which is an obviously clear indication that the red card was a facilitating factor to their ability to securing a goal which turned out the equalizer they got in that game

Now Juventus stands at the top of the table with little to almost no balance because they are just about two points away from their biggest contender at the second position on the table, just like it happened in the bundesliga tonight where Leverkusen ahs also failed to keep the space wide enough between them and their second spot contender ,I'm very optimistic Juventus will try to maintain a good point to staying at the top of the table so that they will have the opportunity to become the winners of the trophy this season as it's the only trophy they are contending for this season.

Firstly I would want to talk about how much Barcelona have been conceding goals in almost every match recently and it's really not a good thing to reckon with, even when they win they will first have to concede goals before they will end the game in a victory today they conceded five goals one of the highest they have conceded in a single match this season.

I'm really disappointed at the results of the game between Barcelona and Villarreal, it was okay that they were two goals down a d by the second half they were able to put up a come back and we're leading by a goal what baffles me the most is how they became carefree enough to the point they concede three more goals in the second half after scoring three goals, it was a festival of goals at the second half, literally six goals were scored in the second half and Barcelona ended up Lossing the game after leading earlier which is a clear indication of weakness to me.

Leverkusen failed to win the match tonight and ended up sharing points with B. Monchengladbach which wasn't a good results for them because it has made them reduce the point difference between them and Bayern Munich at this point and this is definitely going to bring more pressure on Bayern Leverkusen to making sure to trying to be at the top of the table.

B. Monchengladbach isn't a very tough team which wouldn't have made Leverkusen draw in their current form but I think because B. Monchengladbachis very much aware of how well Leverkusen wants to strengthen their position at the top of the table has try to come in their way but then Leverkusen played much better and dominated with possession and attempts, if by next fixture Leverkusen still maintains their unbeaten record by a draw or a win then they will be at equal points with Munich.
