901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: February 05, 2024, 01:07:10 PM
For me, I gamble to have fun, not to make money, it's not all about losing in gambling, there are still winners, but most of the others are losers. On my side, gambling is just like games or online games, I spend money to enjoy myself, do you get it? You may have also played online games, that's how I think about gambling, it's a game and it's true that it's fun to play, you just really need to control yourself and budget so you don't overdo it. If you keep losing in every game you play, you really won't be happy and that's really part of gambling and then you stop playing.
Just like online games where you need connectivity to participate and sometimes you pay a few dollars to unlock certain feature so is gambling, their is according to your point of view and I'm definitely agreeing to it because these are almost exact same thing especially for those gambling for entertainment and not for the financial rewards.

Those who gamble to make money may not be able to relate so we'll with your point of view because for them they will think it's not feasible that you spend only little amount in such games but spend big when it has to do with gambling but then actually they spend big gambling because of their quest for more which at some point grow into greed and they may not accept they it's gree that has led to increase in stake which in turn is increased risk, but if you do minimal stake you will get to understand the relationship between online games and gambling except for the financial rewards.

I don’t want to hurt the feelings of those who believe in various mythical rituals and soothsayers, but it seems to me that this is in some way an indicator of the intellectual level of people. I would also recommend not looking for a solution to the problem in these rituals. It is better to devote yourself to greater study and understanding of the structure and operation of gambling as a whole, to approach it more from a scientific point of view, and not from an abstract one. After the player has understood a lot, he should study strategies and better develop his own. Of course, something will not work out, but without mistakes we will not achieve success.
These soothsayers some times seem to make correct predictions and when they do it's usually ascribed to their powers and mystical prowess and then people get to believe them and I will not in any way try to judge or make a big deal out of it because it's something that has been proven with results in several occasions and so it's quiet convincing.

Personally I keep an open mind to all these things a.d like you rightly stated sometimes our level of intellectual capacity also play out with our we welcome such and it's very surprising that there are people who appear to have high intellect and all that who still see these as worth doing so I'm such cases you will just have to see it as their believe and they shouldn't be seen any less because of their beliefs as it's literally has nothing much to do with who they may be, sometimes if you are opportune to see the predictions they got from their soothsayer or other sources it's fine to place a bet on such and if they are lucky so will you be but it doesn't mean you share in their beliefs.

Most times violence in the house can be as a result of idleness. When a man is idle and is supposed to be the bread winner of the house and he is not doing anything to support or back up the family, it annoys him and in most cases, he becomes hostile and aggressive just to  express his frustration. Doing this alone causes violence at home. Gamblers too vent their frustration at home violently when they loses games and this also results to violence in their house.
In as much as they are genuine reason of frustration, they are not a good explanation for such expression of their frustration because such expression will not proffer solution to their situation still so it would be much better they go get a job and help their selves become much more better off than pouring out their frustration in violence.

Such violence never helps the situation rather it only worsen it by causing more harm than good because the family will be harmed by these actions and that will lead to incurring expenses to fixt that which was lost in cause of expressing anger and frustration. Gamblers should always keep their family out of the frustration caused them by gambling and so should their anger aswell be left at the casino and not making their kids, wife or siblings as the case maybe to suffer for that which they are not responsible for .

Lyon was able to beat Marseille 1-0. This victory is very important for Lyon because they are out of the relegation zone. I agree with your opinion that even though they are suffering from poor performance, Lyon is still a very experienced team in Ligue 1 and they will definitely find a way to survive in Ligue 1. To be honest, this is a very bad result because last season they were able to rank seventh at the end of the season. But I hope they can stay in Ligue 1 and improve their shortcomings next season.
Even tho I wouldn't commend their last season performance that got them finishing at the seventh position on the table, I will still say this season was almost worse because how will they be at relegation and struggle to getting out although they have been lucky enough to have gotten out of it now, they are not a good team but considerable average team.

The victory yesterday was very essential for their survival in the Ligue 1 els they would find their selves in the Ligue 2 by next season, they are just three points away from the relegation zone of the table all thanks to the victory against Marseille yesterday but then they will still need to maintain their position or possibly make sure to still go up the table if not they still stand a risk of still falling back to the relegation on the table if they get relaxed and not trying to win more games after this which they just won yesterday. Marseille is in a very safe position away from relegation and have nothing much to border about.

Liverpool will indeed remain the favorites in the European League. Because even though Liverpool lost yesterday to Arsenal in the Premier League, we have to remember that in that match Liverpool were still not strengthened by M. Salah who was not allowed to play. But when the European League starts, Liverpool will be back with full strength because M. Salah will also be back on the field.

But the presence of Milan will indeed provide more difficulties in the European League. And maybe because of this, people are now starting to share their beliefs and are no longer just favorites with Liverpool. But I think AC Milan will have difficulty in the European League. Because their performance actually sometimes loses its consistency.
Well I wouldn't want to buy into the idea that Liverpool Is dependent on M. Salah for the team strength because some how by implications that's what your post maybe insinuating, Liverpool has won several premier league games after Salah left for AFCON so it's of a fact that they can still do well even in the absence of Salah.

The presence of Salah do affect the performance of Liverpool and that's not in doubt especially when the team seem to have lost hope in most of their games, he usually have this creativity that brings alive their performance once again and they could just get victory by the end of the game and that's why I don't even think of writing them off to becoming the champions of the Europa even after they lost to Arsenal yesterday because they didn't have a bad performance in that game and in the round of sixteen the team facing Liverpool isn't any where compared to Arsenal so Liverpool has still got good future at the Europa
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 05, 2024, 09:49:47 AM
Juventus could do nothing but close. The match was really boring. Allegri shuts down for 90 minutes so as not to give the opponent a position. If I were a Juve fan, I would call for the resignation of this coach. They should have been much more active on the offense and shouldn't have closed so much. 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 anyway, if they win, the league would end with inter. I do not understand why a coach does not take risks, as long as this man is in charge of Juve, Juve should not dream of a championship.
That was a really poor performance from Juventus and I think by this they have lost their chances of possibly been the winners of the Italian serie A this season and they are most likely not going to have that Chance to get to the to even if it's just four points away because inter Milan isn't slack about the serie  A title this season.

Juventus in their performance appeared too careful trying to defend their selves from conceding more goals after the first goal scored by their opponent in the first half but then it was really not a good one they put up such performance for a team hoping to be the champions by the end of the season but then if by the time the champions league round of sixteen starts and inter Milan seems distracted and possibly drop points, at that instance, Juventus could take advantage and be able try if they can possibly win the trophy by the end of the season.

Real Madrid will meet Girona in the match next week. I think Madrid is still the favorite to win and I have also bet that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season. I think the match against Girona will be like the Inter vs Juventus match and the match will be won by the leaders. I predict that the match will be won by Madrid and will increase Girona's points. The next few matches will not provide much change because in my opinion, the match to determine first place and La Liga champions will be determined by next week's matches.
Girona has really been at the top of their performance this season, they have really been in good form and thy have really a good and impressive performance which could unfailingly get them to win the league title if their top rivals at any point begin to slack but then the current status of Real Madrid doesn't look in anyway like they are slacking .

Real Madrid is definitely the favourite for this game even if it turns out that the odds turn against them and girona eventually wins, I still see them as favourite and I'm very optimistic about their performance seeing how well they have performed so far recently, they have been their very best and a careful look into Madrid performance this season in the la Liga they have lost only once since this season and I don't think they will be wanting to add a loss from this game to the record. If Real Madrid win against girona in their next meeting, the certainty of winning the trophy becomes very high than it has ever been this season.

Now we have come to the biggest match. The path to the championship in the Bundesliga can be solved in this match. If Leverkusen beats Bayern Munich on its home field, it will increase the point difference to 5 and gain a great advantage on the way to the championship. The main goal for Leverkusen right now is not to be defeated. If they lose to Bayern, Bayern will be 1 point ahead. An important match will be played that will determine the championship. It could be the most critical match of the season.
It's very true the fixture between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will be a determinant as to who's going bro be very probable to win the bundesliga this season because currently Leverkusen is just few points away from Munich and a win from Munich will means Munich staying ahead of Leverkusen by a point and maintaining such record could get them the trophy.

Leverkusen getting a draw by the end of this game will mean them staying just two points ahead of Munich and that's still a Shakey position which can at any point be taken away from them, Leverkusen has got the home advantage in this game but then Munich still doesn't look like that will be a problem to them but something they will be able to manage by the end of the day, Leverkusen winning will means staying five points ahead of Munich which I think will be the biggest advantage to be sure of winning the trophy because it will take Bayern to win two matches while Leverkusen loose two matches at a stretch aswell which is very likely not to happen.

A coach mapped out his priorities before the beginning of the season. One can start winning matches without the pressure coming in from other opponents, the winning is the top priority for most of these elite clubs. Aside Real Madrid and Manchester City, we have other top clubs in the picture, atleast we shouldn't count them out because they also have priorities to meet up this season. I'm looking forward to watching Manchester City face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League grand finale because they're both tough side and one of them have to lose three easy points.
Winning is the most important thing at the end of every match been played by any team because to be sure to win the trophy you will have to Winn your games ,a team who succeeded in winning all their games will definitely be able to win the trophy by the end of the season without no doubts because winning all their games will mean them been at the top of the table.

Most coach definitely have priority and that's why you see that at a point In the league the coach may be letting go of certain league games so as to enable them get a better performance at an elite league such as the champions league and they major domestic league games. In the champions league without further taughts, it's very obvious judging by the performance so far that Real Madrid and Manchester city seem to have prioritize the champions league and are doing excellently at it making them the most probably to win the trophy but this isn't undermining the efforts of inter Milan and Bayern Munich as it's still possible they come up with better performance after all they are all still at the round of sixteen.

Here is the weakness of Liverpool team but they worked hard enough to score goals, but opposite team Arsenal team's defenders and goalkeepers are so strong that they are able to resist the attacks easily. But in the whole match there were 10 Liverpool team attacks, but the Liverpool team attacks were at least simple. But the opponent team Arsenal they succeeded in 15 attacks and 3 of them. So this season Arsenal team has performed very well at the end even though Liverpool team is occupying the first place in the points table and Arsenal team is in the second place.
The defense line of Arsenal yesterday was really commendable and deserving of their victory, the were able to stop their opponent from get more goals after their first goal which was actually quite an impressive performance, Arsenal seem to have unleashed a revenge mission on Liverpool after they lost to Liverpool Fe weeks baçk.

Currently I think both Arsenal, Manchester city and Liverpool has got close to equal chances at the premier league this season and they are all in good form with very good performance aswell. If Liverpool who's still at the top of the table is able to still get more winnings they will be able to secure their position at the top.of the table with little stress because Manchester city isn't slowing down no more especially now that they have got.a complete squad that will be able to get them to win both the premier and possibly the champions league aswell.

AS Roma have become one of the inconsistent club in Seria A and this is a big dissapointement on the faces of the players and their supporters. José Mourinho did try his best but it wasn't good enough, he have to go because sticking to a good result do take time. Daniele De Rossi gain high trust from the team's board to deliver a perfect job during his regime. AS Roma declined in performance and game stats refused because the hands handling the club fall short of expectations and steadily recorded poor results for the club.
Recently with this new coach, roma has managed to be able to win few games but then it still doesn't give me a good trust enough in their form and ability this season as I don't trust how well they can perform in the Europa if they will be able to get pass the round of sixteen but then let's still hope for the best from them.

I don't even blame the present or past coach for whatever it is that Roma may seem to be going through because both of them in their various capacity and did the best they could with the team although Rossi still have some more good time on his sides to prove if he was a better replacement for Roma's former coach so it's very likely Roma may do better with Rossi because they have in recent times done so well regardless and it's been a new coach that's in charge of the team.

Even though I come across of this post three times I will continue to disagree the fact that gambling is for fun, mostly people who said that gambling is for fun, gambling is all about another alternative to make money but caution it that gambling is all fun, that is a hope of losser in gambling, so when we talk of gambling we talk of making money through it, the major reasons why people gamble is because of the want to accumulate their funds at they already have, so I don't believe the fact that gambling is for fun, the major reasons I gamble most at times is because I want to make money and that is why when I lose in gambling I do be agree towards it.
One thing I know for sure is the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion and not agreeing to the fact that people can actually gamble for fun is your opinion and convincing you otherwise may just be another futile attempt to force a horse to drink after successfully leading it to the stream.

Your perception nevertheless does not in anyways change the fact that people of a truth actually gamble for fun but then you will still want to think it's not true, but I will only agree with you if you say every gambler is usually expectant whenever they place a bet even if they actually did it just for fun and such is common amongst the rich and not the average or poor,.it's usually uncommon to see a poor gambler gamble for fun or entertainment but I'm almost very sure some rich gambler does gamble basically for fun alone.

Saying that Inter Milan got to the final of last season UEFA Champions League by luck I think is a way of robbing them of their deserved glory and I wouldn't be a part to that because in my own analysis, they actually got to the final because they deserved it and their performance against eventual winners Manchester in the final is a proof that they get to the final by chance like some of you are trying to make us believe.
This season, the Italian Serie A club have also been doing great in their domestic league as well as in the Champions League and if they can continue with their current form, I wouldn't be surprised to see them play in the UEFA Champions League final again this season
Inter Milan did performed excellently last season and we're very much deserving of their every move they made and stage they got to last season, saying they got there by luck is a direct way of undermining their every efforts of which they did put in their very best and it was much more evident in their performance.

Even in the final game against Manchester city they did perform so we'll that i for a moment felt like they will be able to win but then Manchester city will not get to such finals and fail to win because they have worked too hard to not get that, but I see another opportunity with them this season again because they have been performing well and have so far gotten to pass the group stage and are very likely to get pass the round of sixteen too  of which if they get pass then just like last season they may get to the finals again.

Both teams have the same chance of winning. But I think Munich has a slightly better chance of winning than Leverkusen. Both teams are in good form. I can't choose who will win that game. But I think a draw would be fair enough for both teams. It's hard to think Leverkusen will lose because even though Munich are superior in terms of overall team quality, Leverkusen's collective play is very good and they also have a pretty good defense.
Munich in their current form seem to have a better advantage at this moment they have been at their best form in their recent games and have been on winning streak so it's very likely if they continue winning and Leverkusen keeps drawing they will be ahead of Leverkusen and will win the trophy by the end of the season.

Leverkusen still remains unbeaten but are not giving the very needed performance that will help them maintain a good distance away from Bayern Munich so to be sure to be able to secure the title by the end of the season but it's looking like Leverkusen may likely get back to the second position on the table if they don't eventually get on winning streeks to keep them on the top of the table with a good point difference away from Munich which will be the only way to help to keep them sure of winning the trophy by the end of the season.

I can't understand why some people expect to see a team like Strasbourg win the game against PSG and score more goals than this team. Strasbourg is not a strong team and if you compare it with PSG you can understand they got definitely not have any superstar players like PSG has and that is not a good coach like PSG has. I think even seeing Strasbourg making problems for PSG was a lot and they did a great job getting a 2-1 result.
Winning against PSG is near impossible this season because Strasbourg isn't in any good form as PSG and they have no strength enough to contend with PSG, they have not been really great with their performance this season and are just at the tenth position on the table with 25 points.

I will still commend Strasbourg regardless for been able to get a goal against PSG as against them been a bigger team over them with a better squad then Strasbourg. pSG is the beat contender for the Ligue. 1 title this season and have so far been performing so we'll and leading at the top of the table with a very good grade, they  PSG has not relented in keeping their position at the top of the table and even NICE which has been in their best form recently has not been able to still meet PSG yet.

After Arsenal hard-fought win against Liverpool today the title has become a three horse race with Man City completing the trio clubs likely title winner, definitely it going to be one of the toughest contest, meanwhile Arsenal rose up to occasion in today's match as usual many soccer analyst and pundits had already predicted Liverpool to win based on the past records between the two with liver having an upper hand but today Arsenal proved them.wrong with a brilliant performance by winning 3-1 to close their gap to a narrow two points thus opening the title bid among the three contestants.its was a entertainment match after both teams tried to break their defense unfortunately costly mistakes by each side defenders gifted each team a goal.
I personally taught Liverpool would win that games too but then I wouldn't say it was a bad one that they didn't win, they did their best and were very brilliant in their performance today but it seems they were not in their best form because they had not rested well enough, just within the week they did had an encounter with Chelsea.

And coming to face Arsenal after such encounter wasn't an easy one but they were still able to secure two goals and were ahead of the game in the second half until Arsenal were able to secure an equalizer and later won the game and now just like you rightly stated, the race has been extended to three teams now as Arsenal now got on the race by virtue of this victory they got over Liverpool in today's game which helped secure three points which has boosted their position on the table well enough.

Keeping track on how often you win is definitely not going to be an easy job especially with me because I can't tell sometimes I get back to back small wins and I just don't care to know how many but how much and once I have been able to withdraw to my bank account I'm pretty cool and don't care if I've won a million times.

I think most online casinos do have records if needed be to go check on them but I don't have a personal record where I keep them , I just win make withdrawal and that's all, same applies to losses too I don't really bother to check on them or count them even, I just let them be and when ever the need be I track a particular ticket then I go back to the casino records but I don't keep them personally for the sake of my mental health and probably because of its not having a significant necessity as at the time the money were lost.

Paying up an over due rent is one very remarkable thing I've done with money I won from gambling and this is just a straight answer because there's actually a story behind how it all happened but then after I was able to raise the money from my gamble proceed and pay up the rent, I was so relieved of every form of stress and tension that has been on me.

I never believed someday I will be saved by the proceeds I made gambling  because usually I don't put my fate on gambling proceeds because most of the time I just gamble for the fun of it so I don't use big money since they are funds I can comfortably afford to lose, I will just throw it in there and what ever the outcome is I will accept. The day I was lucky to get some good amount they was able to offset rent was when I threw in a few dollars and had a multiple picks without the expectations that I will win because the odds were high actually and its sports bet so I waited till the results were out and I immediately use the proceed to settle the rent since it was the equivalent.

before when I was have a Little bit love in gambling then it will affect my finance and also the relationship between me and my wife cause Before everyweek I gamble 4 times or even 5 times and that's  the reason why my money won't long last. But i won't regret it cause I know it's a good experience in mylife I say it good cause I'll over come myself and get out of those world.  Anyway I am in gambling nowadays but I can control myself and maybe once week or  worst twice a month if I am too busy.
Learning from this experience now makes you even a better person than you would know because the gambling activities will no longer be a big deal to you because you have had an experience with it and it's no more something that you will be excited about, you now have better control over your self and there will be a better level of discipline aswell too.

Sometimes for some persons it's better they learn from experience because if they learn from other people they seem not to take it seriously as they would when they have got a first hand experience so it's usually better for such people to have an experience so when they meet such situations again they will know how best to tackle it. It's best to learn from other peoples experience because it will go a long way to teach you that which you know without having to really make the mistakes others made.

Sometimes we just need to study ourselves and understand the kind of nature we have and know the weakness as well we may be having towards gambling, some will make huge loss because they are not guided by the way they gamble, we can not use the physical approach on how we see things appearing and take them as the direct means of of how we are playing our bets when gambling, things doesn't work like that in so many ways, we need both physical and mental approach to find the accuracy needed towards how are expected to gamble.
Self awareness is another thing that's not considered by most people before going into gambling they are just carried away by the excitement of going to have fun or been entertained and to make money aswell so they wouldn't pay attention to the fact that they easily get depressed whenever the loose so much or they have psychological effects on them.

They just allow their selves to be carried away by the excitement and just want to have fun and make money but at the end of the day the story comes out as something else a s they will regret and blame it on gambling meanwhile they were actually just carefree and didn't bother to do a self check because they at that point felt like it wasn't necessary but when they win they don't get to remember how they felt when they lost . Mentality has a lot to do with how well you can gamble and still maintain a healthy habit as it affects even the physical because it's proceeds from the mental that keeps the physical either in a good or bad shape.
