921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 03, 2024, 11:10:38 PM
First of all, stealing is stealing and there is no justification to what the boy did but in the case of assuming that he miraculously won millions of dollars, we all would agree that the mum would definitely be happy but the probability of the boy winning that money is small so stealing that money is definitely going to get him punished and that's my own opinion as I don't know what others will do.

Just a case study, imagine if the boy was not caught I believe he would have stolen another one again or if the money he stole he took from someone else other than his mum then the punishment will be more so there is no justification to the fact that he actually stole the money.
I'd he had not won the game he played with the stolen money, I'm very sure he by now wouldn't be celebrating or telling the story of how he won a bet rather it would be that he's an irresponsible gambler, an addict and several other names would have been used on him by now but then he's been appraised because he was lucky to have won.

Please to others who will be seeing this and this it's just fine to steal and gamble and when you win you can replace, such idea is very wrong and shouldn't be encouraged at all, I don't support or encourage such at all, it's never a good way to gamble, that's pure desperation and it will do more harm than good to whosoever is been affected, so it's much better to use your own guns or if you don't have stay away from gambling then and face something else because gambling with such money can get you into problem.

At least you can limit yourself from excessive addiction to gambling. However, if the boundaries were higher or thicker, wouldn't that be even better?
so that later gambling addiction will be reduced. You can gamble calmly if your playing mentality is strong.
In a situation where there's no strong mentality to tackle the gambling addiction I think it's most safe to quit than trying to still gamble in a way we think and feel is safer because that will only make us triggered more and gradually getting in deeper than we can imagine while you still think you are maintain sanity.

Limiting yourself isn't enough especially if you want to fight against addiction but rather quitting even if it's temporary, you can use the period and time been to make sure you get a proper strategy and control over your mind and self so that you strictly stick to responsible gambling and any thing outside your strategy will be very much avoided such that you don't gamble until the it conforms with your strategy and budget, once your budget is exceeded it's very advicable you exit till another day.

Sometimes my favorite team is going through a bad period and I feel that they might lose points, but I never bet against them. I don't bet against individual athletes that I like and admire a lot. I guess I am a bit emotional about it. However, there are always many matches to bet on. I don't have only one option. If I rejected one option I might have a regret, but I don't have one option. I have a lot of alternatives and betting on other matches makes me feel more comfortable.
If I see my favorite team in their worse condition and I see it as an opportunity to make some good cash off it trust me I will utilize such opportunity and it still doesn't make me any less of a fan to such team it's just that I need to utilize an opportunity which I didn't fail to at the point when the opportunity did avail it self to me.

Making money off the weakness of your favourite team isn't really a bad idea and it doesn't stop the fact that you are still a loyal fan but then I can loose money knowing too well that they are weak then I bet on them to lose I mean that doesn't make sense except I will rather no gamble but if I must I will against them except I'm in for just entertainment strictly but if I'm hoping ro make money then there will be no need trying to be too fanatic at the expense of your pocket because you may go bankrupt and nobody cares, it will be seen like you just lost your funds to the casino just like that.

The strongest candidate will be Real Madrid. They are leading with 1 point if Girona got a draw result against Real Sociedad. They got difficulty to attack because Girona played without their main striker. I don't know what's happening with Artem Dovbyk, but he is the machine goal of Girona. However, Real Madrid will also be difficult to get 3 points in the current matchday because they will play against Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid is often to be an obstacle for Real Madrid to collect full points. However, I believe Real Madrid will win the upcoming match because it will be at Santiago Bernabeu (Real Madrid home).
I still believe strongly like you have speculated that Real Madrid has got the best chance for the la Liga title this season, although Girona has been really relentless in the struggle to staying at the top of the table and it has made the race quiet interesting as both teams keep alternating position by each passing week but in the end leats see who gets it.

Girona has really shown doggedness and consistency to see if they can be the winners of the la Liga this season but then they still don't looks to me like they will win the la Liga this season, Madrid has got two races they are in currently, one is for the la Liga and this other is for the champions league and  it's looking most likely that they may succeed in get the two by the end of the season because they have got only one strong rivals each in both leagues, Manchester city happens to be the strongest rival in the champions league while Girona in the la Liga but I don't see Giron aas much of a problem to Real Madrid yet.

PSG wasn't that good during the group stages without a doubt, it is not just about past years, you could say that they are "better" than past years if they played dominant football during this years group stages but they did not, they played quite badly this year as well. That was just a month or two ago, and now they are going to suddenly be good enough to win the whole thing?

I think PSG is good at where they are, at ligue one, that's it and they should be happy to have that again and again. They are not going to end up with anything like UCL, they are just not good enough. Bad thing about the situation is that they can't drop to Europa neither, so they never win anything at European competitions, they just go beyond the group stages, and lose there.
You are very correct with your point of view, PSG hasn't been the best they could be at the UCL this season but they have been able to manage get pass the group stage and see now at the round of sixteen which is a very crucial point for them undoubtedly and there's no certainty about their been able to get pass this stage .

It's very likely their journey in the UCL this season may come to an end at this point nor most definitely st the semi finals but they are very sure not to win the champions league title this season they can only do better with their domestic league where they will be able to win the trophy because that's where their dominance is most domicile but here in the champions what they will always be a visitor and gather more experience until they are able finally win the champions league one day when they will be lucky.

Tomorrow there will be an interesting match between Inter Milan vs Juventus, the two teams who are the most serious Scudetto contenders will face each other. Inter Milan is lucky to still have one match postponed, so they will relax in facing the pressure put on them by Juventus. Even though this match is difficult to predict, Inter Milan looks to have a higher chance of winning. Even though Juventus is not playing in European competition, it will still be difficult for them to suppress Inter Milan at the top of the current standings.
Inter Milan has been a very strong team this season a d have been  in-between winning the league title and also making sure to maintain their position at the champions league aswell but Juventus have got only this league game to contend so they look like they have much more at stake.

I really anticipate watching this game tomorrow because it's promise to be an interesting one between the top two team in the serie A this season so I'm expecting a good thrill from both team tomorrow as there will be a contention for the top of the table and whosoever wins will be at the top of the table by the end of the game tomorrow as both teams are just a point ahead of each other and whosoever wins will be ahead of the other by two points and if it's a draw, then Juventus will still be at the top of the table by two points but if inter wins , inter will be at the top by two points too but Juventus will be at the top by four points if they win

It is really going to be a tough match between this two sides,Arsenal and Liverpool.This season, Joghen Klopp has really dealt with Arteta and his men,winning them back to back in two matches.It will be sorrowful that Arsenal men will lose to them again when they know they really need this win to be able to keep their hope alive in the tittle race.Some reports came in this Evening that Arsenal won't be welcoming back Thomas Partey,their key midfielder whom they thought would be available for this clash.Nevertheless, Arsenal will be able to cope without him and try to secure a win here.
I'm not envisaging any toughness in this fixture better arsenal and Liverpool, although I would want to say both teams are strong but on the second taught Arsenal have dropped their form a little recently, even in their last match which was against Nottingham they didn't have a really impressive performance by what I saw.

Except arteta have got a better approach tactically for this game I doubt they are going to win because Liverpool is in their best form alongside the fact that their star player is back from the AFCON and by all indications will be participating in tomorrow's game so most definitely he will be helping the team get the best of results from this game. He wasn't able to get a single goal from all the AFCON game in which he was featured so most likely he's bringing back that energy to the premier league, unlike last time they drew when they met, I doubt if this time it's going to be same as either of the team will be aiming for a win.

Nice doesn't have the qualities of comprehending the team's level, things will fall smoothly in place and Nice knows their place already. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi will continue to push for excellent outcomes, ensuring that he makes beneficial signings in the transfer window, players capable of enhancing the team's performance. Here's the question: I don't understand why a top team like PSG will struggle to win games against average teams when they have the necessary big names and an experienced coach who is making it his top priority to ensure things go smoothly for the club.
PSG is usually very liberal or better say free with their way and pattern of buying players unlike other team who may probably due to limited resources don't go into buying players just so quick but the the importance of new players who can help the team achieve more by the end of the season is something we can't put out just like that.

PSG's strength today has got a lot to do with their financial capacity as their president is really investing so much into the team in order to make sure that the team achieve that which has been their desire the most especially as it has to do with the winnings of the UCL trophy by the end of one of the season which I think if they put in place what's very much needed of them, achieving such height is something they can do soonest but then they will need More than just buying of players to enable them get to the height they desire the most .

Without a doubt the very first thing that a person needs to learn is to control themselves when they gamble, and this is because gambling can be a very entertaining activity and the risks that we are taking only make it even more exciting, this is similar to those that practice extreme sports and do all kind of dangerous things to feel alive, gambling can have that same effect and if someone is not careful and control themselves, they could lose a great deal of their money because of their lack of restrain.
Self control is very vital and essential if anyone must be able to gamble responsibly and still maintain a healthy gambling habit enough to keep them profitable gambling and this does not apply only to the novice or newbie gamblers, even some "professional" gamblers too lack self control and are not disciplined enough.

Some gamblers may want to think they are in control of their habits while trying to gamble but will eventually still make wrong decision and still loose funds until they accept that they lack the discipline of self control and until they are able to cultivate the habit of self control well enough they still loosing as much as newbie and amateur gamblers do. Loosing great money to gambling is what most persons who lack the discipline of sled control may have suffered at a point bin time over the years or weeks while gambling.
930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What remarkable thing have you achieved with the money you won from gambling? on: February 03, 2024, 09:02:35 PM
A few days ago, my friend luckily won a bet and have used the funds to open a business for his wife and himself
And that's where my question is coming from because for some, they're into gambling to make money, whereas some gamble for fun, but if luckily for you, and you have won a bet in the past, or luckily, you win a reasonable amount of money, did you achieve something with the money?/will you try to sort out some of those problems that lead you to go into gambling, like using it to establish a business, or did you lavished the money because it was unexpected free money?

I know of a guy living in my street who won a huge amount of money in gambling last year, he lavished the whole money and now came back being broke.

I have seen many too that won big money, but they lavished the money by going to the nightclubs and started living all sorts of luxury life because they didn't stress to get the money. If you are a gambler, you should think about or write down a reasonable or memorable thing you would do with the money in case luckily for you one day you won a huge amount of money in gambling, so you will ever remember where the money did come from.
Sometimes it's just excitement that gets such people in to lavishing their funds they won gambling and it also could be resulting from the company they keep, there are some company you keep and when ever they see you have got such good amount, all they want you doing is looking for the best place to go spend it lavishly.

Some persons misplace priority and think such huge amount of money won will take too long before they are exhausted and so they will just spend and think they will still have much remaining and with that they will be able to do something better for their selves but then it turns out that they end up spending all the money and not achieving something really tangible with it but the starting up a business that's if the money is big enough to fund such isn't a bad idea at all and will definitely be profitable to you in the nearest future.

Ajax since aft they got their form back later this season, they have been on an very impressive streak of performance such that they have secured more victories than losses meanwhile PSV has been on a very good record since the beginning nod this season and so they have their form and performance intact so no less expectations is on them.

They have already gone pass the first half and are in the 60-80th minutes of the second half as both teams have secured a goal already and are on an equalizer. If this game ends with this score line, you can be sure that PSV wouldn't be affected much because they are already far ahead on the table and are not anywhere close to ajax neither will winning this game take ajax any closer to PSV so PSV has got almost nothing to loose if they are unable to win this game but then I think they wouldn't want to settle for a lose but a draw will be much fair considering they are been hosted by ajax
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: February 03, 2024, 08:41:44 PM
Why many will advice that you chose only few bets preferably 1 single bet is because, by doing so you are limiting your chances of losing the bet on the long run, and also if you stake a small amount, you won't be affected by the outcome of the bet so much, since you are not expecting too much big winning in the first place.

So when the winning comes you celebrate it and when you lose, you need to just man up to the situations at all time, so same goes to the multiple games selections, once you chose to many games, you will likely gona lose at the end.
But then doing all this as good as they sound and as safe as they sound too still doesn't guarantee that you will still win the game which you did staked on, you could still loose the game but the fact is that most times this method do work and help increase your chances of winning than it will do with you loosing your funds by just gambling regularly.

Multiple selections makes you sometimes stay at the mercy of been lucky and if you aren't lucky enough they it will only mean that you are not winning till whenever you eventually get lucky and this doesn't have anything to do with how much it is on your stake as you may stake so much and still lose yet you can stake very little and win either ways luck has got it's part to play provided it's gambling but just make sure you are putting in place good risk management to keeping you ahead.odr safe enough against going bank rupt.

I don’t believe greed is the only cause of gambling addiction because gambling addicts do not care much about winning or losing, they gamble for the feeling they get from taking high risks. I believe everything in life should be done in moderation. People fall into the trap of gambling addiction because they don’t possess the discipline to control their impulse to gamble. Anyone can suffer from addiction regardless of gender.
Greed isn't the only cause but a major cause or a major reason why some persons get addicted gambling so it's not something that should be seen lightly but be treated as something worth and deserving of the needed attention it should be given because it really do affect most gamblers and propel them toward addiction.

Doing everything in moderation is a habit that will help is both in our personal lives and how we approach other things even in our work place and not gambling alone so it's very important we cultivate the habit of moderation and it will really go a long way helping us be better with our resources and other things we do personally for ourselves, because not only in gambling can we suffer addiction but even in other things that we do as our daily activities too so moderation can help us against addiction generally and not in gambling alone.

I don't know if Roma is really the poorest club in the League. But I agree with what you said. The club board is very stingy when it comes to buying new players and this will be a problem for whoever coaches. De Rossi could not immediately ask for new players because the club was very poor. I think the club board asked De Rossi to become a coach by maximizing the existing players. This has happened at several clubs. They are looking for a coach who is willing to play with the existing squad. I think if the club board didn't demand that De Rossi win the title then this would make sense. Maybe they asked De Rossi to improve the ranking as best he could.
I doubt if Roma is the poorest amongst other team in the league this season but it could just be their management rules that is preventing them from making sequential purchase and making them look poor or stingy at you did said and I agree with your every point you made as they look like the exact situations at Roma this season.

If they are expecting any coach who will be heading the team to work with the players available then shouldn't be expecting the coach to achieve so much already in the shortest time especially as it has to do with winning the trophy but the improvement of their position on the table and probably helping these team to secure a spot at the champions league or other elite leagues by the end of the season then probably by the subsequent season the coach can be given the high expectations.

Leipzig vs Union Berlin is one of the matches this week. Leipzig is experiencing a difficult situation after swallowing 3 consecutive defeats. In this match, they must be able to make the most of it to get back to victory. Union Berlin are in a difficult situation too, they are at the bottom and must try hard to get up and be in a better position.
Leipzig will act as the host, they have all the advantages to be able to win in this match. Will they win or will they get another bad result?
Leipzigs performance in this match will greatly have an impact in what should be expected of them in their UCL fixture sometimes this month because it will definitely affects their performance if they are going to be fatigued band will be in their best form for the UCL game because this month is really going to be a tight one for the UCL teams.

Union Berlin is really a good team with a considerable average good performance this season so they aren't going to make it an easy one for the  Leipzig team because they aren't a weak team, I'm most certain about the resistance Union Berlin will be posing at Leipzig and that will stress them a bit at been able to still get back to the UCL completely fit so if that game ends in a draw I think it will be a fair one because maybe Leipzig may be using the strategy to still have some players ready for the UCL which is by the corner as well
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: World female football. on: February 03, 2024, 07:45:24 PM
If it's a female in a big major competition, there will be a lot of talk.
For example, the soccer women's world cup must be a lot to talk about. if the regular women's competition, for example the EPL in England female, rarely people talk about it. because those who broadcast on TV are very rare if there is no spectacle that can be watched, yes people will definitely not talk about it.
I think their publicity has got a lot to do with how much they will be discussed because if they are not widely broadcasted then lesser attention will be given to them and will reduce attention that will be given to them at a time meanwhile they could have had more attention if they have this broad visibility that's very much needed.

The women's world cup usually have the much needed visibility and that has helped them a long way aswell to gain the attention it gets and aswell been far discussed because I'm most certain that if there were to be a female world cup on going there would be a thread which would have been opened by now, but then asides the world cup competition for the women I think they do have league games too which could be discussed too aswell, if these tv broadcasting channels aswell are able to help with the visibility of these female leagues then discussing them will be very easy.

Ok so you were not saying that Mbappe could die anytime soon I guess because you were talking about the uncertainty of whether he will survive or not. I am not sure why you are talking about his health or a deadly disease when there are no news on the internet to be found that he is deadly ill. As far as I know he is in great condition and if he was ill and could die I think it would have long been public news. That's why I was surprised why you are talking about his life soon perhaps coming to an end. But maybe you were talking about his contract at PSG and then used the word "survive"? It is pretty weird though.
Sometimes it's possible we pass messages in the wrong words with a different intent as we have people from different countries on this forum and it's possible we all are not original English speakers so it's possible there could be mixups with application of words, phrase and other tenses but getting the intent behind such message is most important.

Mbappes stay in PSG is at this point not very sure because there hasn't been any solid conclusion as it regards if he's staying back after this season or he's leaving and there have been several bids on his movement but he's yet to accept or sign any new deal, although this is from my news gathered few weeks back I don't know if in recent times there have been changes. There have been many circumstances around his movement by the end of the season and I think it will be more clear by the end of the season then we would know if he's staying back at PSG or moving els where.

I really liked the way frosinone was very intentional with their performance as they didn't play as I'd they were a supposed weak side, they had their attack in good force and were ready to win the game if given the chance to but then it turned out they had a better opponent against them but their performance was quite impressive.

AC Milan did performed well and deserve every of the goal they had in this game and the victory which got them three points and further improve their position on the table, they now have 49 points while at the third position on the table, which is quite impressive and making them see a chance at possibly getting to the top of the table although Juventus and inter Milan are very much in the chase to winning the the trophy this season. With consistency AC Milan is definitely securing a position at the champions league next season.

I doubt that PSG will ever have the chance of winning the champions league this season with only their world class player Mbappe. A tree cannot make a forest, and we have other clubs that are stronger than PSG with several great players. The time that PSG would have been able to win the champions league was last season that they had three professional strikers with them but still they failed. It shows that they were not desperate to win the champions league. Only clubs that are desperate to win it, will win the champions league. We saw it last season how Man city won it due to the desperate mindset that they had. This season we have more than two clubs that ha e been showing great interest to win the league, and I believe that one of them will win it
This isn't that season when PSG can dare to win the champions league, the best they can get will be getting pass the round of sixteen beyond Wich I doubt what their fate would be because they don't appear to have that capacity for the competition ahead which is undoubtedly fierce and not what they can handle with their current form.

Been desperate isn't enough to win the champions league rather desperation may cause you to commit so much blunder and may definitely end up not winning the league, Manchester city didn't show desperation last season rather I will call that determination with so much resilience that got them to that point, they didn't only have good players but aswell had the team work that was needed to get them that far, PSG only had the team and player LS but didn't have the tactical approach to keep this players coordinated enough that they were at some point playing for individual glory but I'm most certain beyond have good players a good tactical approach from the coach will help a long way to keep the team ahead.

Watching Barcelona through the first half I wasn't really convinced they are going to win this match despite been a goal ahead because I've witnessed cases they were two goals ahead and later lost with a scorelines of three two and in tonights game their performance hasn't been such that is really impressive personally .

I think Barcelona still have a lot work to do as it concerns improving because a team as alaves shouldn't be one that will cause them to break so much sweat as they are doing tonight although it's the second half and they are already ahead by a goal with a 1-2 goal line I'm still in doubts they will win because they still have enough time on their side and alaves isn't relenting with both attack and defense , they are at some point giving Barcelona good pressure already so it's very likely they could get an equalizer and the game may just end that way.
