Basically in any case in my opinion patience is always an important aspect especially in solving a problem or other things, which usually by applying patience then you will have time to consider properly related to what to do, and also of course patience has a significant benefit in gambling which will help you to be able to minimize emotions when you experience defeat especially when you put some money that you cannot afford to account for.

This means that patience can prevent something that we don't want such as experiencing a larger amount of defeat due to you continuing the session based on emotions due to the inability to accept the fact of defeat in the previous session, because as we know that the general disease in gambling is always about one's inability to accept the fact of defeat which usually always ends with the act of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost before, which means patience is a very important point and should not be ignored for a preventive measure.

From some of the precautions suggested above I would agree with your opinion that we should not ignore or even forget other precautions that are no less important which as you said it is "never bet with the amount you cannot afford to lose", this is the most important point in gambling because there are so many irresponsible gamblers who do not have the ability to accept the fact of losing which in turn makes them experience emotions and instead put the amount they cannot afford to lose.

Usually this kind of action is mostly done by beginners, especially those who come because they are too tempted by the name of winning opportunities so they put large amounts because they are too confident and hope for victory, even though gambling is full of uncertainties that can make you feel disappointed at the end of the session when everything does not go according to what you expected. Another thing is that I agree with you that trading or investing can also work like gambling because there is a slight element of similarity in that we cannot fully predict price movements which means that there is always a possibility of risk that can occur at any time when your prediction misses and gambling as well as trading is an activity that involves money and also an activity that cannot be accurately predicted regarding the results of its victory so of course this is the reason why we are more advised to only put the amount of budget that we can be responsible for.

Besides, on the other hand, I think gambling is not a place to earn so there is obviously no way and no reason to be able to earn in gambling, or the point is that no matter if you are someone who is able to manage emotions and greed, gambling is still not an activity to earn because the problem of winning is always about "coincidence" which means that even if you are a responsible gambler, you will not be able to earn there unless you win occasionally by chance.

This means that the ability to control emotions and manage greed is not the ability to earn in gambling, it is nothing more than just to minimize the possibility of a larger number of losses and not to earn income continuously. But overall I agree with your suggestion that if you or anyone else is someone who can't control their emotions and greed then obviously the best decision is not to get involved in gambling at all.

But on the other hand I can't fully say that family members can't help at all or that means they can't have any influence on changing someone who is addicted to gambling, because they are the closest people to the addicted gambler who has a strong enough feeling of love and bond that I think any way that family members can at least melt the heart of a gambler to at least consider the advice given which leads to preventive action.

On the other hand, I also agree with your opinion and suggestion that there are other parties who can help cure someone who is addicted to gambling, such as professionals who already have quite high flying hours related to dealing with addiction problems like this, which means that maybe they know better about what should be done to help cure someone who is addicted and overall I think these two parties, namely family members and experts, still have the possibility to be able to influence change towards someone who is addicted to gambling.

Yes that's right and one of the reasons why chasing losses is pointless is because it's too risky an action which is most likely like some of the cases that have happened where you will only lose a larger amount of money instead of achieving recovery, another reason is because gambling is not a place to earn so of course it's natural that for example losses are more common than wins because you also said it here that the fact is that the house always wins anyway.

Gambling is full of temptations that look very tempting which basically most people are unable to ignore this so in the end this is what makes a person become so impulsive in gambling when it turns out that things that look tempting turn out to be nothing more than a trap and obviously the inability to accept the fact of losing is always the first trigger for someone to act worse based on emotions because something they expected turned out not to be appropriate.

On the other hand if we are one of those people who are very meticulous then yes I think they will think of all the ways to manage, balance and control everything properly, but it is a fact that most people only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities.

Yes, their defeat cannot be a benchmark that they will do the same thing when facing Arsenal. They will definitely get up quickly and forget the defeat they experienced in this match, because even regret will not have any effect on them. Now what they have to do is focus on the match they will face.

They have sufficient preparation time before this match takes place. In that time they can prepare everything they need so that they don't fail again. In particular, perhaps the Champions League is the last chance for them to win the title because in the Bundesliga it can be said that their chances of becoming champions are closed.

Bayern Munich had no other choice but to go all out in this match. They actually already had an early advantage before this match was played. Yes, on paper they are more favorites than the opponents they will face, Arsenal. Therefore they must not miss the opportunity that comes to them in the Champions League, even though it is not something easy.

Xabi has made a decision for next season, he decided to stay with Leverkusen. This is good news for Leverkusen because they don't have to try hard to convince Xabi to stay with them. On the contrary, it closes down hopes for other clubs to be able to get Xabi's signature to become their coach.

I've already said they did well this season, and I'm more looking forward to seeing how they do next season. If Xabi can maintain this form and come back like this for next season, they will definitely get a lot of attention, especially Xabi Alonso. Surely he will be a coach that many of Europe's top clubs will compete to become their coach.

In my opinion, next season will be proof for Xabi that he is indeed a coach who can be really relied on. Because currently there are still many who think that what he did with Leverkusen this season was a stroke of luck that he got. He must be able to silence those who doubt them this season.

The match ended in a draw with the final score 1-1. Augsburg were able to score a goal first but their lead could not last until the end of the first half. I actually didn't expect this result because in terms of superiority, it was clear that Augsburg were more favored in this match because their opponents were also in the relegation zone, but unexpectedly they were able to make their defense solid. This result is clearly very disappointing for Augsburg because with this result they should have the same points as Freiburg.

Actually, in this match, Augsburg were better, but they could not be effective in launching attacks because every attack they carried out ended in failure. However, this result does not have much influence on Koln, because they are still in the bottom 2 positions at the bottom of the standings.

There are many who taste defeat if they bet on Augsburg. Because they failed to realize the expectations of many people in this match which could actually be said to be quite easy.

I don't know what happened to Juventus, they have repeatedly experienced recent defeats which should now be crucial points for them, but once again they failed in this match. The match was tight, but Lazio had better control of the match. I actually thought this match would end in a draw, but they had to accept a nightmare when Adam Marusic scored a goal in the 90th minute+.

This result means they are increasingly threatened in their current position, because Bologna and AS Roma have not played a match this week, so it is very likely that they will be closer to these two clubs. Juventus must be able to evaluate what they have experienced recently. If they continue to experience this then I won't be surprised when they fail to be in the top 4 at the end of the standings. The coach had to rack his brains to get his team back to their game at the start of the season. There was still time for them to at least maintain their current position.

They were surprised by the quick goal that Brighton was able to score, but they remained calm after conceding and slowly they put pressure on Brighton, at the end they were able to score an equalizer in the 27th minute. They were able to secure a draw at the end of the first half. In the second half they tried to continue to press and what they wanted happened in the 65th minute. This result was very valuable for them because they managed to secure 3 points to be at the top of the standings for a while.

Overall, this was not an easy match for Liverpool even though in the end they were able to win the match. Brighton can provide tough competition to Liverpool, because they can create a fairly solid defense that is difficult for Liverpool to penetrate.

Now they are just waiting for the results of the match between Manchester City vs Arsenal, they definitely hope that the match will end in a draw, because with a draw they can lead by 2 points.

Yes, one of the reasons why he chose to resign from Barcelona's coaching chair was the pressure put on him. Even though pressure is a very normal thing that a coach receives, the problem is that I think the pressure he receives is excessive because Barcelona's situation is also not in a good condition. Maybe it would be very realistic when Barcelona could give Xavi everything he wants, but currently he is not receiving everything he needs, while management is putting pressure on him to achieve.

Barcelona should also adapt to their current situation, because I am sure all coaches will give the best for their club. They will do their best when they don't get what they need, especially if they get what they need, the same thing will definitely happen. If Barcelona continues to do things like this then I'm sure no coach will feel at home, unless they get a high salary and also get everything they need.

The first place will definitely be occupied by Paris Saint Germain, but the second place is still a question mark, because the point gap between them is not too far and as usual they are not consistent, so there are still many possibilities that will happen at the end of the season. who could actually occupy second place.

Now Monaco can occupy that place, but they also only have a distance of 3 points from Brest which is right below them, followed by LOSC which only has a distance of 4 points from Monaco. For now, Monaco definitely has a big chance to maintain its position, but that also means they have to be able to ensure they don't lose too many points. The reason is that I still really believe they will still lose points. In short, whoever loses fewer points than the 3 clubs will be able to occupy second place at the end of the standings. And we can't confirm this yet because all the possibilities still exist and the opportunities for them are still quite large.

Still waiting to see who will emerge victorious in the match between Paris Saint Germain vs Barcelona in the quarter-finals. In my opinion, their meeting is quite balanced, because Barcelona is not in the best condition they have, while Paris Saint Germain are good in the domestic league, but in the Champions League they often struggle. It is quite difficult to predict who will win, because the two clubs that will meet have their own advantages.

This will be proof for Xavi, because he is under a lot of pressure from management, he must be able to prove that with the current situation they are experiencing they can still compete in the Champions League. On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for Paris Saint Germain, because this might be their last season with Mbappe. We know Mbappe is a mainstay for Paris Saint Germain so they will probably rely on him once again. Yes, even though we know that it won't be enough if played by just one person.

No matter which club you are facing, never underestimate your opponent, especially if that opponent really has the potential to beat them. For me there is no reason whatsoever for a club to try to underestimate the opponents they will face.

AC Milan needs a win, Napoli also needs a win. With facts like that, all clubs will go all out in this match and this will be something that will make things difficult for the two clubs that will compete, because each of them will not just give up which will make them lose.

AS Roma's performance under De Rossi's direction so far has shown something good, they always try hard in every match so that they can achieve the desired results. AS Roma also have a good record when they are in the European League, last season they managed to be in the final, even though they were not more favorites than a club like Arsenal, but they were actually able to advance to the final even though they failed.

Al Shahab will host Al Hilal in less than an hour, this is clearly a difficult match for Al Shahab because they have to face a club that is at the top of the standings and they will soon lock up the title. Even though this is a home match for them, it still doesn't have much of an impact, because the difference between the two clubs that will compete is very big, so it won't be easy for Al Shahab.

I think Al Shahab will play defensively in this match, because if they are too bold in attacking it will create gaps in the back line and that is very dangerous for them. They can apply a defensive strategy in the hope that they will at least hold Al Hilal to a draw, because in terms of ability it seems like it will be very difficult for them to beat Al Hilal. Here it is clear who has the advantage and there is no doubt about it. Now there are not many options for the hosts if they want to get points, because even 1 is very difficult for them to get.

I agree with several statements ranging from the first to the fourth point that you conveyed above and in my opinion all of these actions apply to all types of gambling, regardless of where you gamble, whether it is in the type of pure luck betting or the type of sports betting because obviously the name of gambling activities is still always about uncertainty regarding the results at the end of the session even though yes I understand that in the type of sports betting you can use your skills and knowledge to increase the chances of winning but still all of that is still in the idea of "possibility" which means there are still other things that are still possible, namely losing.

So the point is that no matter where you bet, the possibility of losing can never be avoided entirely because whatever the type of gambling is, in the end you will always be in two possibilities, namely between winning or losing, and yes like some of the points you said that lead to being a responsible gambler by not risking all the money on one bet, betting the same amount of money on each bet, not betting more than once a day or meaning limit your betting activity along with limiting your gambling allocation budget, all of this leads to precautions to minimize unwanted possibilities.

Overall yes it is true that generating winnings in gambling is very difficult, I am not saying that you or anyone will not be able to win because when you are lucky then you will also be able to get a certain amount of winnings like everyone else, but the problem here is that there is no such thing as "consistency" in terms of generating because all wins in gambling will only happen by "chance" which means that you will only win occasionally and it is very unlikely to be able to get consecutive wins.

This is why gambling should not and also cannot be used as a place to earn because when you are unlucky then obviously you will end up losing, and also yes as you said it is true that only a few people who managed to get a big win that could change their lives and maybe I would say that they are very lucky people. Yes I quite agree with your opinion that the people who managed to get this big win or achievement are those where they can manage and control their gambling activities until they can reach the target but on the other hand I would also say that this big win can also be obtained by people who treat gambling in an excessive way like addicts, maybe when they put a very large amount of money they managed to get a big win in one session, the reason is because everything will be possible when luck comes at the right time.

Yes I agree with you that it is a fact that gambling addicts usually keep their gambling habits a secret from their families including their loved ones and usually they only tell a few close friends who are usually gamblers too, but as for the suggestion of whether it is a good idea to tell their families about their addiction then I think this is an idea that will only cause problems between you and your addicted friend.

I understand that your goal is good and I also understand that usually the closest people especially family have an influence on the change of a person but the problem here is that if the addicted person does not want their family to know about their gambling habits then I think it will only cause problems between you and your addicted friend, So far they have always kept it a secret from their family but you are telling their family, I think there have been quite a lot of cases like this because I have also heard that they ended up having problems in their friendship, and I would say that the most effective way to overcome gambling addiction is when the person has the desire, willingness and determination to stop.

Maybe it can be said that an addict is quite late to be able to think like that, because when someone has entered the addiction phase then they are already in an unreasonable mindset where the level of interest in gambling is very high and this is also the reason why gambling addiction is quite difficult to overcome, as you said and it is true that usually they treat gambling in an unreasonable way or treat gambling in a way that is different from normal people usually.

With a high level of interest and strong ambition in gambling activities, it is only natural that basically they are even willing to do anything just to gamble, like what you experienced where someone came to your house to sell something they had with the aim of being used as gambling capital and even worse it is very possible for them to try to justify all means just to gamble, or that means doing something out of control such as stealing, smoking, cheating and several other criminal acts in order to get money to gamble when they run out of personal money. Basically, someone who has entered the addiction phase is usually stubborn, they will not listen to any advice from the people around them, all because their level of interest, hope and confidence is very high which is driven by the aim of recovering the situation.

I think yes we all agree with the idea that chasing victory to return something that has been lost is an action that is not recommended, on the other hand I am not saying that you will not win because maybe luck will come at that time, but we have to understand that the result at the end of gambling has absolutely no certainty whatsoever that guarantees you will win, meaning that the possibility of losing is still very likely to occur which in the end will actually cause you to lose a larger amount.

And also I am sure that when you act to chase victory to restore something that has been lost, then you will definitely gamble with revenge or based on emotions, where as we know, all decisions based on emotions are usually decisions that are not valid. common sense and yes of course with this the possibility of defeat is very likely to occur. Therefore, this is the reason why we are always advised to gamble without placing any hope of winning, because with that I am sure you will only place an amount that you can afford, which means that this situation will not make you too emotional when it turns out you lose.
