721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stick to some Casinos or do you try out new ones? on: February 17, 2024, 10:50:10 PM

what do you think?. Do you believe he is right with the rigid approach to gambling?,  also should I continue convincing him  to try out something new and enjoy these great offers?.
For reasons best known to people they may bluntly refuse to try out new things as this isn't just with casinos alone, there are other things in that some one may not want to choose from because they are not comfortable to try out new things because of their previous experience with others.

When it has to do with casinos some persons are rigid because they know the benefits and advantage they enjoy from such casino and if it were to be in others probably they may not be able to enjoy such bonuses or even discounts and that has kept them loyal to a particular casino. Sometimes it could be that they are so used to the casino interface thst they don't finy that from others interesting enough so they will prefer to rather stick with they which they know too well and not border to try out new ones so much.

Arsenal fans are chanting victory because they're having one of happy moments in football, watching comfortable games and relaxed minds. Arsenal have scored 21 goals in their last 5 EPL matches. A brilliant starting for Gunners as they aim for the EPL title this season, they're actively in the race to pull up a competitive run against Manchester City and Liverpool. Mikel Arteta was regarded as mediocre coach during his first season in Emirate stadium but move forward to today, he's consider one of the best coach and proceeds to succeed the former manager of the club, Arsene Wenger.
In the last three games Arsenal's performance has been such that their fans are quite proud off and I can say that they are really happy with the results they have seen so far it's making them get some form of confidence in the fact that they will gradual be able to get to the top of the table again at the slightest opportunity they get from Liverpool.

It's very funny that Liverpool is aware of the fact that if they at a position where at the slightest mess, they will be displaces by another teams and they may not be able to get back on their feet because by the time they will be saying they want to get back to their position on the table top, they will need more points to enable have a chance  to win, the trophy but then I'm not seeing Arsenal cling to the top of the table again this season maybe they would next season but not looking like this season.

You need more than luck to win the Champions League trophy. Manchester City have played great seasons and won trophies in the Premier League for consecutive seasons, but they waited until last year to win the Champions League. On the other hand, Real Madrid played in the finals of the Champions League and pushed for the trophy even in seasons when they were doing badly in La Liga. To win the Champions League you need a football culture. Paris is a great football city but not great enough to win the Champions League. Even when Messi, Neymar and Mbappe were there, that's why they couldn't win the Champions League.
Normally the champions league cannot be won in the grounds of uck as no team will every allow you to just beat them and get to the next rounds of the champions league and that's why it's hard to just think that by lucky you will be able win the champions league, most of the teams there are are champions in their domestic leagues too.

So to be able to contend champions just like you, you will have to be able to show that you are such a good team then you add up with some luck too but solely depending on been lucky to win the champions league than you may always have to be lucky which of course doesn't come too often but then with hard work been complemented by work, it's very possible to get the team to win the champions league.

Expecting profits from gambling is certainly a very wrong thing, but some people do it and expect too much. If the results do not match expectations, in the end we will not profit, we will even lose, instead of being happy we will be sad.
That's right, maybe people see other people's wins and luck when gambling so they have excessive expectations. the fact that someone else is winning is a temptation that drives us to gamble excessively.
Expecting profit from gambling isn't that wrong in it's entirety but then we know it's at some point wrong to want to keep lol your hopes and expectations on gambling profit because it will possible turn against you and you will have nothing to do or say as about it than to just bear it as one of the experiences you get as a gambler.

It's actually wrong to think that because at some point others did gamble and it turned out in their favor so you gamble too nd put all hopes thinking that it will most likely be same for you meanwhile you have almost no idea about how that person were able to get that lucky or how they went about it any that's we know that they do edit fake betting slips and post so as to get attentions to their predictions platforms and gain more followership and community. So not all betting slip posted are real.

In that case you should try to find an ethical way to help your friend who needs money rather than stealing the money from a casino. Man, you should keep in your mind that casinos are also run by people who spend a lot of money on casinos in order to earn from the business model, some of the casinos go bankrupt if they don't get success, if someone exploits those casinos then that person is somehow taking money of those workers who work on that casino. It's some kind of stealing from a casino and giving it to your friend. Your own inner self will always tell you that whatever you have done was not a moral act and you'll feel guilt whenever you remember that you did a crime in order to help out your friend.
It's actually an unhealthy practice and shouldn't be encouraged for any reason, some persons don't have that good herat enough to tell their selves that what they are doing is not good that stealing from the casino is a way of making others who work there not have their pay nd that will means they will be bankrupt aswell.

Tell your friend to look for a better way to earn money and not to steal from the casino as the casino is also some One else's business and that spend money to run it too sometimes they do spend a good amount of fund s on these casinos to keep them running but this may be a unknown f t to the gamblers a sthey will only see the casino taking their money as not the expenses the casino in cure to run the game house. It's criminal to steal and it's punishable by the law, so before he gets caught he should quit.

Indeed. People must predicted Man City to win the match. People mustn't predict the match to end up with a draw. Chelsea isn't in their good performance, it is also a home match for Man City. Theoretically, Man City should win the match and get 3 points from the match. Unfortunately, Man City must share the points with Chelsea. Chelsea succeed to steal a point in Man City home.

I really appreciated the way of Chelsea got the point. They played with under 30% ball possessions. Meanwhile Man City won above 70% ball possession, they also made 31 shots. Chelsea looked very great in defense, they could make Man City scoring 1 goal only.
I happened to be one of the person's who speculated that Manchester city was definitely going to win Chelsea, I never expected they would end the game a draw again just like they did I'm their previous meeting and I was thinking Manchester city wouldn't want to permit much happening again.

Manchester city did had a full squad which was the reason most persons trusted and believe them and they had good performance in their most previous and recent games where they were able to win a few games and we're able to maintain a good position ahead of others and were in the table in a very good position, Chelsea still doesn't have a chance to be in the top four even after the draw against Manchester city, it really baffles me how they at almost every time this season are able to draw Manchester city.

Lille got a very good performance which I see as deserving of the victory they had today, and every of their moves today was really a good one as they had.a great performance, they were able to dominate from the first half of the game where they secured two goals after which they got their third goal in the second half of the match.

Lille is now at the third position on the table with over 35 points already, which means finishing top four is a good possibility for them but they are sure they would not be able to win the title, thia season, Le Havre did tried their best but were unable to secure a goal from the game rather they got neither the goal or victory which is actually poor results but then they weren't in the same capacity as their opponent so it was very possible they would have still lost the game.

Leverkusen is still continuing its positive trend by not being defeated until week 22, where its closest competitor Bayern Munchen is currently 8 points behind. If Tuchel fleet manages to secure 3 points when they visit Bochum headquarters, then Bayern will still have to wait for Leverkusen to lose two matches to be able to overtake them at the top of the standings. Most likely in the match against Bochum, Tuchel can create a turning point in performance after being beaten by Lazio in the UCL yesterday.
I really love the energy with which Leverkusen is going in the bundesliga this season, it really shows that they are willing to win the bundesliga title this season without any form of them relenting, it's really going to be a massive achievement for Xabi if he's able to win the bundesliga title unbeaten this season.

It's going to be one of a kind in the German bundesliga because Munich so win the league titles often but not with an unbeaten record across Europe and Germany. Bayern waiting for Leverkusen to loose so as to bring their hopes alive again is something they shouldn't be doing because with the way baywr Leverkusen is going now I doubt if that's going to be the case rather they may literary end up winning the  league title while you are thinking they will loose  so that Munich can match up and see an opportunity.

He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?
He just needs help sohe will be able to quit gambling at least for a while until he's able to take care of his mind well enough to control himself not to be spending so much on gambling to the point it causes him ruin, but then he has to first make up he's mind that he no longer wants to continue with such and would want to get on a new leave.

It's normal for beginners luck to be a fuelling factor for some newbies gamblers to want to continually gamble some more even after they have been known that it was just luck, they will think that it's actually was gambling and they can get lucky much more than they would be unlucky but then sadly sometimes it doesn't turn out that they will be lucky again and they may end up loosing all that they have gathered to the casino again, but then some of them learn after such experience and become more controlled and a better gambler.

Napoli had to share their points with their opponent at the end of the day and it was really a poor results even if I know in recent times Napoli hasn't been in the best of their performance but I still don't see it as a reason they would fail like this, they still have a chance and this was one of it that they should have utilized to get some steps further.

Juventus obviously has fallen off the race to the league title this season because after suffering three losses I would think that they would want to recover but they sadly still drew against Verona who has been a very good team rather a team with perform that wouldn't be reckoned with, it's really not a thing to be happy about because I had earlier seen Juventus as my favourite for both this game and sometimes ago for the title of the league too aswell.

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona Yesterday match Barcelona team won the match by scoring 2 goals. The game was very crowded between the two teams in the first half. Barcelona team player R. Lewandowski scored the 1st goal in 45 minutes and Celta Vigo team player I. Aspas scored in 47 minutes.  The match was drawn. After that, the two teams played very well for some time. Suddenly, one goal met again. At the end of the game, R. Lewandowski scored the 2nd goal in 90+7 minutes to win the match.
Barcelona won the game in a what looked like a struggle so I wouldn't want to say I was really pleased with the results gotten from the game as it was not up to expectations, the game was played with Barcelona trying through the First to the second half to win against a team that could be considered a weak side.

Lewandoski having a brace in the game was a good one tho it's still not impressive for me, xavi keep looking like he's failing because his team keeps struggling to get victory with every team they encounter even team that should be considered weak is literally becoming a struggle for Barcelona and they concede a go to any team at all , it could be possible that the team keeper needs to improve with his performance because it's been too reoccurring that eh concede in all his games recently.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: February 17, 2024, 08:09:49 PM
Patience is very good for everything in this life. It's also very good for gambling. People with patience act in line with their goals. Impatient people act on their emotions. Patient people always win in life. Impatient people win only on their lucky day. Also, in my observation, impatient people are greedy people. When these two malicious behaviors come together, it is possible to make many wrong decisions.
Getting patience Is very vital for gambling and every other thing in life because without it most times we  may end up with irrational decisions and my aswell not get the best out of that which we intend to get just the way it should be, moat gamblers at times don't possess this characteristics and its turn out to be more of a problem to them than been beneficial.

There is a principle that slow a d steady wins the race and by implications we could say that patients truly pays but we don't get the patience to allow it count and that's why most times it looks like we aren't winning well enough because we aren't patience enough to allow things get to our time then we take appropriate actions as we should, greed has got a whole lot to do with impatient as greedy people as they always want things done as immediately as they want it without any further considerations.

I a gree with you. Whatever results the team achieves with the new coach, what is most needed is how they can improve their performance and quality. Coaches like De Rossi do not have much experience coaching top European teams. But I think De Rossi could have chemistry with Roma players. I saw that in the previous match they were able to perform quite well even though they lost 2-4 to Inter Milan. The draw result in the first leg can be used as a lesson for the next match in the second leg. Roma are playing as hosts and that will be in their favor. They can learn from draws and develop new and more effective game tactics.
I don't think I would personally consider Roma as a top European team because they have not been such a team thst can be seen in such light yet, they are yet to have the performance a d potential to see them as top but then they will be rather see as an average team across Europe and I will see that as to be fair enough.

De Rossi is actually trying for a coach with less experience around Europe a d he did joined the team only a few weeks , more like middle of the season and yet he's been very optimal with his performance even if it's looking like he yet to get some real tough challenge but his performance against inter Milan which happens to be one of his first top challenge was such that he lost but with a fair performance somehow I'm begging to think that if Rossi is given some more time he could do much better .

Technically speaking human want to enjoy every life. So even a gambler or not we seek some fun but most of us  saw their fun in gambling which is pretty sure around the world most people know already in gambling but we have different ways to handle it. Cause some of us are aiming for the profit and risk some of Their money  In order to have some profits but some us are gamble just for fun only one there's no wrong if they are loss or win as long as they felt happy on what they do then that's okay.  And nowadys gambling industry are getting bigger and bigger.
Handling fun around gambling is something most persons have got different approach to, they have their way with which they see gambling in the sense of  fun or entertainment, some persons see it as a way of showing support to their team while having fun and the others see it as proving they are good with such predictions.

The gambling industry will definitely get even much more bigger than it is now because they are getting new customers daily so it's not a problem for them to actually grow, if they weren't getting enough customers as they should then it could be possible that they will not get as big as they are getting in recent times. Gambling is actually supposed to be for fun and not aimed at Making money but then its turned out that making money is now like the primary reason most persons gamble

I was not able watch the champions league meeting between Bayern Munich and Lazio. But I was somewhat disappointed by the result. Seeing Bayern Munich loss was not comfortable with me. I have thought that they are going to win Lazio in their own home but the reverse became the case. Many of us are saying that Bayern will win in Germany even with larger goal margin. But what I can say is that nobody can predict football excellently. There could be a problem with Bayern and they will end up to play a draw with Lazio and if that happens, we will understand that they are ending the season trophyless because Alonso and his guys are not giving Bayern a chance to settle.
It was really a poor performance a d results from Bayern Munich as it wasn't expected of them to have lost such a game ass the fact that it's a champions league game where we would expect that they bring in their very best and hope to see how much they will be able to get a result and something to hold unto at the end of the day.

Bayern Munich is now looking like they my end the season without a trophy, earlier I had seen them to be amongst the top team in the champions league because they see a little experienced having been in the champions league and gotten to the finals a few times as well i was of the opinion they are definitely going to get far with their journey in the champions league even if they don't succeed in Winnipeg the champions league but then by their performance so far I'm almost doubting if they will be able to get much out of the champions league.

Barcelona kept Celta Vigo under pressure with 68 percent of the ball possession in the match, but even in the 37 minutes of the game, Barcelona still could not use any shots. Barcelona is a stronger team than Celta Vigo so it is natural that Barcelona will put Celta Vigo under pressure. But in this match, both teams are trying hard to use shots. Barcelona have chances in this match though. Still I think it won't be an easy win for Barcelona. Again, Celta Vigo could have a chance of a draw if they compete as hard as they do. Let's see how the match ends
For me keeping any team under pressure isn't the main thing rather been able to win I what matters at the end of the day because you can have a very good play yet at the end of the day you are unable to win then it's almost like a wasted effort because it would have been much better if the whole effort git you a win than looking like a waste.

Barcelona should win this game so they will have some hopes alive to the fact that they could possibly finish top four because they have a bad form recently this season and if they are able to finish top four regardless it will be considered a fair result. Barcelona my end up sharing points with their opponent by the end of the game, it's very obvious that Barcelona always concede goals from every of their recent games and I don't see that to be a good results they are getting it's really a bad one and could cause them a lot this season.

I don't understand how Manchester city ended the first half of the game without a goal and Chelsea was able to win the first half of the game and it was now looking to me like Manchester city is not playing their best enough and may want the event of the first lewg repeating itself again and if does happen it's not going to bwa good record for them.

In the second half of the game I'm hoping to see a better performance from Manchester city alongside goals to get ahead of Chelsea because I see Manchester city to have a better team than Chelsea and even in a better form in this game than Chelsea is , I'm very optimistic that Manchester city will get an equalizer andget ahead of Chelsea in this game I'm not expecting anything less than a victory from Manchester city in this game so they will further keep the chase behind Liverpool if they are hoping to win t eh trophy this season.

We have limitations here, and we can only tell what is good and what is right, and your addicted friend will still be the one to decide for his/her own benefit. Also you have to set boundaries because your friend might get offended if you tell him to stop gambling, if that friend is still listening to you then better to suggest to seek professional help because you know to yourself that you are not capable to help him, especially on dealing with his emotions psychologically.
Whenever situations with gambling addictions get to this point nits most productive when the service of a professional is involved because only that way can such person get help quick enough to be able to quit if they really want to quit because some persons only attempt quitting and then go on to still continue with their gambling habits.

If you are trying to help your friend by yourself you my likely not succeed in helping him or her out for their addiction and then even with the service of a professional they will still need to first agree to wanting to quit, that way what ever Is required of them to do so they can quit they will do but when they are not fully convinced to quit then they will most definitely continue to find away around their addiction and still continue in it despite every effort to helping them quit .

Well even in place where there are one religion, I think people can still be allowed to do what they believe Because it's a free world and restrictions on things because of religions believe is not really sounding okay although I know that most people are strict with their religion and that's why the whole nation such acts as gambling is seen as evil and some place even punishable too.
It's really funny how it's supposed to be a free world but in the actual sense now it's no longer a free world because there are places where strict restrictions are placed on certain things and with such if you violate you are going to be punished and it's almost not negotiable with certain regions so you have to abide or find away around it.

Most gamblers in such regions do find a way to still gamble in their private space where they are sure not to get exposed and face the wrath of the authorities. In a s much nas this maybe looking like an infringement on people's choices on what they choose to do but the economic impact of such could be a solid reason to not let such take place in certain region just like the case of alcohol been Bann in some countries due to some unrest they experienced some time ago due to alcohol consumption and since then a ban has been placed on it.

The name of gambling is full of uncertainty, so only fools who gamble beyond the budget limit are ready to lose it, and place bets from borrowed money. Moreover, if you take a loan from a loan shark, the interest rate is very high, it can reach 20-30%. It's really stupid because this will only increase the losses experienced. Connecting with loan sharks will only make us suffer more.
"lending money to a gambling addict is the same as encouraging his bad behavior to continue." And I think you have the right to refuse this request, because we are not super heroes who can help everyone. so you don't need to hesitate to reject it and say "sorry I can't help you." although maybe later your friends will feel disappointed and then hate you. because sometimes we also need to be a little selfish for our own good. "Stop...!! feeling bad" because we also need to pay attention to ourselves.
Firstly why would some one even go and get loan from a loan shark only to use such to gamble a d hope that they will be able to payback probably from the profit they will be making from their gambling profits, it's very unreasonable to even think of such a thing that you will gamble with money you borrowed and then be able to repay.

Gambling even with the best strategy doesn't guarantee a 20-30% profit so I don't understand how some one will risk such when they know they will not be able to make it because gambling doesn't give assurance in any of such forms so why then will you take such risk, it's absolutely foolish a d not reasonable to get a loan for the purpose of gambling, if it's to invest in a profitable and promising business that can be acceptable but for gambling it's totally out of it.
