Leverkusen is a club that I think everyone would like to see. Apart from us being curious about what they will do, this cannot be separated from their extraordinary performance this season, even without losing in the Bundesliga and only losing 1 time in all the competitions they have played. Xabi Alonso will get a lot of attention if he succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to a consistent performance.
Leverkusen displayed a good performance last season, they had their best season last season because I don’t think they have such performance in the Bundesliga for more than a decade.

Next season will also be another season for Alonso to showcase his talent in the coming season; can he and his players repeat what they did last season?

Can Vincent Kompany bear the pressure from fans and be able to better than Tuchel in the coming season?

Let’s wait and see what the season comes with.
Not just for another decade, in fact I think this is their best performance during their time in the Bundesliga. They were truly extraordinary, how they played as a very good team and that was thanks to the touch of Xabi Alonso who was very successful in finding the best game that Leverkusen could show this season.

I hope they can do the same, maybe getting through the season without losing will be difficult and maybe even impossible for them to do again. But at least they can still show promising performances like this season.

Vincent Kompany will definitely feel this pressure, because the club he manages is a big club, so he will receive all the pressure and he will even receive criticism in pre-season matches perhaps. That is very open to happening, and it is Kompany's job to ensure that he will not work under pressure, I mean he doesn't care about all that and only focuses on making Bayern Munich successful.

Al Nasr is a great club. Al Nasr's performance is good. Al Nasr, no less than Al Hilal. In my opinion, Al Nasr's performance will be better next season. Al Hilal or Al Ahli will be the opponents to look for the title of Saudi Pro League. But I support Al Nasr. Because they didn't bring home any title last season, so my idol player will definitely try to do well.
Al Hilal will be much stronger if Neymar returns to the club and therefore Al Nasr must prepare strong and well.
Yes, Al Nassr is a big club and they are playing well, it's just that this season they are no better than Al Hilal which means they have failed in all competitions. Several times they faced Al Hilal, they always got unsatisfactory results this season, even their last chance to become champions failed because they lost to Al Hilal in the King's Cup final. This makes them have to swallow a bitter pill because they cannot be better than Al Hilal this season.

Next season they will try their best to play better, one of the steps they are taking now is trying to target several well-known players in Europe who play as defenders. Several names also emerged, such as Antonio Rudiger from Real Madrid and even Virgil Van Dijk from Liverpool. but until now I have not heard whether they have established communication or not. What is clear is that now they are trying to bring in defensive players to improve their position in the back line which has been their problem this season.

The European League is the second caste after the Champions League, so here it is only inhabited by clubs which can be said to be capable clubs which are below the clubs in the Champions League. I don't mean to say they aren't better, that's not my point. but in fact we see based on their ranking in the domestic standings that they have to go to the Europa League. And also when a club fails in the Champions League group stage, others will go to the European League.

However, what is interesting is that when a club is in the Champions League and has to go to the European League, it cannot easily dominate and become champions. They even had to lose when they faced a club that was actually no more favored than them. This season, one example is Liverpool. They are the favorites and in fact they are the biggest favorites to become champions. However, they failed when they faced Atalanta and were eliminated from the European League.

Inter Milan will not have to do much for next season. Because, they have good players and good coaches. Juventus and AC Milan have plenty of work to do in the next transfer window, which Inter Milan will not. Juventus and AC Milan do not have moderately good players or coaches. Therefore, Inter Milan will show more next season than Juventus, AC Milan have shown this season.
I think they still have a lot to do, because will they want to be at the same level every season? whereas other clubs make changes that will make them improve, I think that would be very dangerous for them. And also do they only want to be able to compete in Serie A and not want to compete more fiercely in the Champions League? I think they really want to compete in the Champions League, and that will make them do a lot for next season.

This season they were only good when they were in Serie A, while in the Champions League they still struggled to provide anything good and they had to be eliminated in the knockout stages at that time. Obviously this is a very valuable lesson for them, because they were not that ready when they were in the Champions League. I understand that the Champions League is different, but they have to work even harder to achieve success in Europe's biggest competition.

This musin is actually Chelsea's performance under Poche's care is good enough because the increase has been felt in terms of the standings but it must again experience a reshuffle that makes the situation the same as the previous seasons where Chelsea will return with their transition that could have been that could have been will have a greater impact in terms of performance.

They do not necessary have to be a reshuffling because the coach can use the same playing style that the previous coach used with some little adjustments and he can get a good feedback from the players. What is important in coaching is the mindset that you set for the players to use when playing a serious game. The previous coach did not have a good mindset for the players, he always gives them an average fighting sprint and when the players are losing, they can not comeback to win the game because the coach has not made that a part of their training. The new coach should not make toon many changes to the team or they will have to start all over again and this is when they will have some challenges as they will have to build a new relationships from the start.
It's difficult if the coach doesn't make changes, because they also definitely have differences in playing style and that means they have to make small changes to make the squad what they want. That is something that will definitely happen, because even though the two coaches may have the same philosophy in the game, they will also definitely have different characters, including differences in seeing the character of a player who is suitable for them.

In football there will always be changes, even though they may have played very well in the previous season. like Leverkusen with Xabi Alonso, they have been extraordinary this season, but won't they make changes or a few touches for next season? I don't think so, they will still do it, because they need it. There are definitely gaps that they have to fix that make them have to do that.

For Barcelona, ​​their only chance now is new and high-paying sponsorship deals. Maybe the team can come to better places with these sponsor agreements because Barcelona is a very big team and it is unusual for them to fall behind like this in every transfer window. Barcelona is a very good team and a possible sponsorship agreement could cause them to rise to the level.
Sponsorship is one way they can get out of the problems they are currently facing, but it will also definitely go through a fairly long process or in other words it will take time for them to fully recover. Another problem is that they (the sponsors) sometimes also look at the conditions experienced by a club before they decide to collaborate.

If you look at their status as a big club, they shouldn't have any difficulty getting sponsors who are ready to help them. But once again it's not easy at all, because sponsors will also take into account what they will get from the collaboration.

In my opinion, management must now be clever in convincing the relevant parties. Because one way they can do this is this. And this is also a very common thing because sponsorship is a part of football. Now it's just a matter of how they can convince their targets.

Haaland and Mbappe are two different players with different playing styles. I don't think Mbappe is a pure center forward, while Haaland is a pure center forward. Mbappe can dribble like a winger, while Haaland is a typical finisher who tends to wait for a pass. Mbappe can play on the wing and center forward, while Haaland cannot.

I don't expect a scenario where Haaland and Mbappe are on the same team in the future. This is not a good choice for any team because after all they are both competitors in the current era. Both are productive center forwards, but I prefer Haaland as a pure center forward over Mbappe.
I won't rule out the possibility that they will play together in the future, but for now I think they will continue to play at the clubs they currently play for, Haaland at Manchester City and Mbappe at Real Madrid. I wonder, why do some people expect them to play together? Isn't it more interesting when 2 young players who have very good abilities are at different clubs? I even hope they will become rivals in the same league in the future, for example El Clasico or the Manchester derby for example. Lol

This reminds me of Ronaldo and Messi, who until now have never played for the same club. Even though many people want to see them at the same club at the end of their careers. But that doesn't seem to be happening and they will never work together at the same club. Same with Haaland and Mbappe, although these are clearly in different situations.
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 20, 2024, 09:10:53 PM

To be honest i would say that we start from scratch again next season as there are so many changes for a lot of teams.
Bayern Munich , Stuttgart and also Leverkusen and Dortmund will be losing and getting players.
For sure Leverkusen and Munich  will be going into that as favorites.
Lets see what will happen after the Euro 2024.
The appearance of Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is the performance that most people are waiting for now, and that is normal because these two clubs are the clubs that won the title for the first time with very good performances and the other is a club that has just experienced disappointment after their record was broken. They are both awaited by many people, Bayern Munich has a new coach and their new coach is a coach who is often talked about, because some people think that Vincent Kompany is not very experienced.

Leverkusen is a club that I think everyone would like to see. Apart from us being curious about what they will do, this cannot be separated from their extraordinary performance this season, even without losing in the Bundesliga and only losing 1 time in all the competitions they have played. Xabi Alonso will get a lot of attention if he succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to a consistent performance.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 20, 2024, 08:59:54 PM
Luis Enrique definitely has several options to find the best center forward to replace Mbappe next season. Randal Kolo Muani might be good for that position, while Goncalo Ramos is also good. I don't see much to think of as anything negative from PSG, they'll be fine I think.
There are still many players who can fill the void left by Mbappe, but the question is whether these players can do their job well or not? I think this is a question that almost everyone has when looking at the Paris Sait Germain front line that Mbappe has now left behind. This is because the expectations for the players who fill that position will be very high, because they will see Mbappe as a comparison. Although personally I don't really like comparing, some people do.

Luis Enrique is expected to be able to do his job well, especially when implementing strategies on the front lines or he must be smart if he wants to bring in new players. The reason is that this position is a very vulnerable position, because it is directly related to their goal productivity. The reason is that if they have difficulty scoring goals, then they are in big trouble.

Of course, management and fans should give him time instead of having high expectations for him for the first season. Arne Slot is expected to be able to handle many of the things that have been obstacles for Liverpool in winning the title, but he must go through an adaptation process. Liverpool management must give him support, as do all the fans. Instant success cannot be expected, this applies to all coaches, although there are several coaches who managed to win the title in their first season.

The Champions League is certainly more difficult than the Premier League, so I don't think Arne Slot can be expected to win it in the first season. So I agree, give him time and be patient, Arne Slot will probably prove his worth in coaching Liverpool.
Yes, they have to lower their expectations of Liverpool a little because after all the new coach has to go through a process which will allow him to get to know his squad very well. Moreover, Liverpool has been with Jurgen Klopp for a long time, so perhaps it will take time for Arne Slot to implement the strategy he wants, because whether he likes it or not, if Jurgen Klopp has been in charge for a long time, what Jurgen Klopp implements will be attached to the team as a whole.

They have to give Arne a slot of time, they can't immediately give him a very high target in my opinion, because that would make them likely to make hasty decisions. They have to give opportunities like they gave Jurgen Klopp a chance, of course that has to be seen from the club's development. If there is a positive development, when they don't achieve anything next season then they have to give it another chance.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investment in gambling on: June 20, 2024, 04:25:05 PM
Investing is not gambling. In fact, if we invest carelessly, it is usually called gambling, but not in the true sense but only as a parable. Gambling is a game that involves risking money or something that has value and in reality it is very different from investment, and a ponzi scheme is a fraudulent motive that is usually affiliated with an investment motive, and I do not call it gambling but investment fraud

I never try to deliberately invest in something that will most likely be a scam in the future, but because you are ready for the risk and have good analysis before investing, then this is not a problem. But I like your way of managing risk


That's a very reliable fact,investing can not be gambling and the other way round,the risks from investments and gambling are equally not the same.
Investing is a great way of building and accumulating wealth,meanwhile,gambling has its way of making people benefits from it's games which I clearly don't have a solid understanding.
The problem people have is in their awareness and understanding,gambling and investing should mean different things to different people,the truth is that we still have people that mispractices these financial services.

If we look at it in terms of risk then yes of course both have risks or that means investment and gambling are risky activities but of course there are differences in the amount of risk and benefit in these two things, in investment yes as you said that it is a place that can be used as an intermediary to accumulate wealth and it has been proven that many people have managed to achieve wealth by educating themselves in an investment, meaning that although investment has risks but also has the potential for greater rewards, that's a fact but it still depends on how someone manages and maintains his investment properly.

While in gambling, whoever you are and no matter how much money you allocate in some games, you will still end up in one of the two possibilities between winning or losing, and the result can never be known before you end the session. So I will explain simply that investing is a risky activity but has the potential for huge profits in the long run, while in gambling you will never know about the fate of the money you allocate because gambling is always an activity that can never be predicted by the results and also gambling is an activity that can never be learned so anyone will never know about any way that can really produce, the striking difference is that there is no element of consistency in terms of producing wins in gambling.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: June 20, 2024, 04:01:23 PM

But not every parent will be able to grasp this subtle point, especially when they need to work, take care of everyday life and solve various issues in adult life; in addition, the child himself may close down and not even make contact with his parents, and this also depends on many factors. For example, in adolescence it is very difficult to communicate with teenagers, because they are in adolescence and they become more closed and irritable. But those parents who can find approaches and start a dialogue about this with their children about gambling and problems in it are really strong and sensitive. In most cases, I think that this is extremely difficult to do in reality, at least I have not tried to do this, but I am afraid that this time will come and then I will check what it is like.

Parents might be busy, tired, at work, relaxing or doing whatever they want, but it is their duty to raise their kid, find approach, talk and etc. Speaking about kids, it isnt right to blame anything and anyone if your child becomes interested in gambling, drugs, alcohol during underaged, being closed in himself, lazy. Cant blame society for that. I think we are going a bit off-topic, but thinking that gambling is bad for society, because kids might get addicted - I totally disagree with that. Kids might get addicted only if parents fail at parenting, but not because gambling is so special.

Parents have a very important role in the growth of a child and also the growth of the personality that a child has, it all depends on how parents educate their children and also how the environment they live in, I understand that a child is very likely to be affected by gambling because now we are in the digital era where gambling is something that we often find intentionally or unintentionally in an easy way, especially the spread of gambling on several social media where most children these days prefer to spend their time playing cellphones rather than reading and writing in the study room.

This means that what you said is quite true in this case that although gambling can reach everyone especially children easily but it all depends on how parents educate and look after their children, if for example they do not give full attention to a child most of the time then obviously there is a possibility that a child will fall into gambling unknowingly, And for the problem of addiction I think it will not be experienced by a child who is really underage, because addiction in gambling is when someone understands about how important money is in life while when someone is underage then usually they prefer to prioritize themselves with various things that are entertainment such as playing or watching cartoon videos.
793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set a specific bankroll before gambling or not? on: June 20, 2024, 03:42:32 PM
Yes there is no preparation whatsoever that leads to limitations regarding the budget before gambling, the majority of them only have the intention of playing and depositing the amount of money they want which sometimes there is always the idea of ​​trying to allocate a larger amount than usual with the mindset of "maybe with a large amount I can be lucky," meaning anything a gambler can think about, especially those who only see gambling in terms of the chance of winning.

On the other hand, whether you want to implement restrictions on the amount of budget for gambling or not is actually up to you, because the point is that as long as you can manage and control yourself in gambling activities then of course you will be able to avoid bad impacts such as losing money. in large quantities. This means that it is useless if from the start you set the budget you want to allocate but it turns out that you do not have the ability to control yourself, especially when you experience a loss, then in the end you will still end up depositing money again to gamble and chase losses. This is in accordance with your approach to gambling, and the point is that as long as you can control it well according to your abilities then of course you will avoid bad possibilities.
But still it would really be that impossible that you wont really be thinking on how much money you do have on that particular point on the moment that you would really be thinking up on playing gambling but still
you are really that thinking on putting up on the amount on which you do have extra. Issues would really be that raised up on the moment that you would become that impulsive on which you are really that already spending on which into those amounts which is more than with your budget or simply those amounts which are intended for other important use. This is the issue for most people on this moment or on this case that they will really be that trying out to chase up those loses and this is why their main behavior is really that to play even more despite of such conditions. Bankroll management to prolong up the game is something
significant and having that good financial management or handling will really be the key if you dont really like to find yourself to put up into those unfortunate conditions.

As for the amount, yes, a gambler will definitely put a certain amount that he/she will bet but as for the limit on whether he/she will return to gambling when the session is lost it is something that cannot be known for sure, because often this is what happens where when a gambler loses the session then usually they will continue gambling because of the impetus of emotions and there is no limit applied in terms of how much budget should be bet at that time regardless of the results at the end of the session.

On the other hand I understand that even if someone for example applies bankroll management in their approach to gambling it is not always guaranteed that they will stick to the plan especially when emotions dominate, but of course having a plan that leads to prevention such as the bankroll management we are discussing is much better than nothing, because after all hopefully the existence of bankroll management can at least make it easier for them to reach the realization in themselves that continuing to gamble with the intention of chasing losses is too dangerous an idea.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: June 20, 2024, 01:39:32 PM
It's because they are focus on what they're doing and not giving attention to those people around. In this state, the gambler is already addicted or bound to be one. That's why it's really crucial to gamble in moderation and don't let gambling affect you negatively to the point you don't care anymore to what's going on outside gambling. Though it's not right, many gamblers are still becoming addicted despite the reminders since they're motivated to gain huge.
Gambling can be very addictive but we have to put it in moderator for us to stay safe so we don't have to later complain of not getting results. People are really making money in gambling and there are some that can not keep the money because they don't have the self discipline to stay little or reduce the way they are gambling. We can still make money if we know what we are doing and how we can balance things in a way that would be very profitable for us. It is good we are always motivating ourselves so that we don't have to end up with the wrong part when we gamble for the sake of making money.

Yes, simply put, gambling is a place that provides the opportunity to win but also has a significant risk impact, or in the sense that you can earn money but you can also lose large amounts of money. It's all up to you and depends on you, if for example you can manage your bankroll well and have good discipline then maybe you will remain in a balanced situation, in the sense of getting a little money from gambling but not experiencing the negative impact of losing a significant amount.

However and forever, gambling will always be a risky activity and the risk problem depends on how you manage and control your gambling activities, and apart from that, a gambler is also advised to have good responsibility in himself to minimize the possibility of emotions occurring when in a situation. A loss where this responsibility must also be helped with other things to make it easier to implement, such as risking a small amount that you are ready to lose. This means that any activity will not cause big problems if we do it correctly and according to our abilities
795  Other / Off-topic / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 20, 2024, 12:59:45 PM
That's true, sometimes when they succeed in getting a win, what they do is not withdraw it, but they hold on to be able to get an even bigger win again, but it's not surprising that when they do that, what happens is they lose completely, as you said. because I don't think the casino will allow its players to continue winning, even if they continue to gamble when they have won, of course it is very likely that the casino will take back the winnings they have earned, because I think that when the player has won, it means the casino has given them an opportunity. for them to make good use of it, but unfortunately they couldn't take advantage of that victory so what they did was an action that had a big chance of making them lose completely.

quite good advice, I think everyone has their own strategy, especially with the winnings they have obtained, sometimes they think of withdrawing some of it, risking it all back, but what is more appropriate is to withdraw all the winnings that have been obtained, it's just that this action may be carried out by gamblers who have full awareness of gambling. In my opinion, it is rare for gamblers to withdraw all the winnings they have obtained, because even though they have a certain target, usually they can still change their minds so that they forget the initial target set.

It all depends on the gambler, what to do it. We all only speculate on the best idea that would be beneficial to the gambler and reduce stress on his end. Because with the funds which has been withdrawn, the gambler still have the liability of needing to gamble again. It changes the perspective of any other idea directed to this decision. Taking out money from casinos after winning makes no much difference. I could think of a gambler who spent his gambling money on game consoles coupled with gambling, he went broke and probably at some point if he got addicted he'd be tempted to sell those items to generate gambling money.

Of course, what this means is that even though I understand that betting is the best idea, it is no more than an effective idea, but it cannot be guaranteed that a gambler will always be able to apply this idea in his approach to his gambling activities, meaning as you said, it still depends. on how the gamblers themselves are, if for example they do have a strong level of discipline then yes maybe they will apply it consistently but that still cannot be guaranteed because as we know it is not easy to completely ignore the aspect of greed in oneself when it comes to making money. Money.

So of course the point is that even if, for example, they succeed in implementing the idea now, that doesn't mean they will still be able to apply the idea for the next few sessions, because it is clear that it is very unlikely for a gambler to only come to gambling once, especially if they have succeeded in achieving a win that really makes them feel happy, where an increase in dopamine can make someone make decisions without any consideration, in the sense that they might forget about the possible risks involved in gambling.
796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: June 19, 2024, 04:01:33 PM
Gambling is not bad for the society,it is good because we all need it to double our income,we need it in times that we are really broke.If they ask someone to tell the importance of gambling,he will be unable to say it be because he is not into gambling.
A poor man won millions of naira in this part of the country,after gambling for so many years without serious win,now God had answered his prayers and he has taken his family away to a place where they will be comfortable.So in which ever way we see it,that it's gambling who has a way to affecting our society positively.

Today I saw a second post from you in which you directly stated that gambling can lift you out of poverty. Well, is it possible for you personally to ask out how much you have “earned” from gambling? I, of course, understand that for different people, wealth is valued in different amounts, but someone who participates in subscription companies for a few dollars cannot claim that he “works” in gambling. I can understand that this money can be spent on entertainment, but for game work, it is doubtful. So, what is next? I might change my point of view, but don’t you think that if everything were so simple, people would not look for a job with a stable income but would stupidly play in a casino, and that’s it?

And yes, of course, we are always tempted or motivated by the winnings our neighbors have made. But life is such that the more we look away, the less we see the opportunities that are sometimes given to us.

Yes, what he said made me laugh, friend, I agree with you on this. Thinking of gambling as a place or intermediary to change fate is a stupid idea, there are no significant results with just a little effort such as paying attention, guessing and pressing buttons Cheesy, oh yes and there are also no significant results consistently in a place that always runs randomly without being noticed. based on any certainty and guarantee. There is no element of consistency in terms of winning, it will all just happen by chance when you are really lucky.

This means that I will never put stupid beliefs about gambling that can change fate, because if that were true then there would be no gamblers who would experience bad impacts in their lives such as losing a lot of money like those gamblers who are addicted, and also like you. say that if indeed gambling provided a guarantee of wealth or gambling was a place to get away from poverty then surely no one would want to work as a laborer which required them to put in a lot of sweat, energy and time to get a steady salary. The point is, however and forever, gambling can never be used as a place to get away from poverty, because after all there is no certainty or guarantee of always being able to produce wins while the possibility of defeat is always lurking.
797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever won any significant amount from free spins? on: June 19, 2024, 03:39:27 PM
If you've been playing these games for a while and you know how casino games work, then you shouldn't be surprised that you haven't won any significant winnings in something that is still a little more than just luck. I have always understood gambling as a type of entertainment that should be kept under control and without any expectations that you will earn some big money.

Of course, from time to time it happens that someone wins a larger amount, but that does not mean that you or anyone else should expect that he will be the lucky one. After all, if you get something completely free, then you should be happy with any profit that comes from it, right?

Yes, that's true, and the point is that if we are involved in gambling, it is clear that as much as possible, never have excessive hopes for victory, because after all it is nothing more than just a chance in the sense that it will not always come true as you expect unless we are right. - really was in a lucky situation like you said. However and forever, gambling will always be a game of probability that will lead to one of two outcomes at the end of the session, namely winning or losing, and one of the reasons why we should not have excessive hopes for victory is because it is clear that the result at the end of the session will never be. You don't know whether you will win or lose unless you have completed the session.

Everyone has their own luck in life, where maybe your luck can be better than other people's luck. If other people can achieve big wins, that doesn't mean you also have to hope for the same number of wins, because after all, luck is something that humans can never control, simply put, it is something that flows without knowing its arrival. Another thing, of course, is that making a lot of money from winning with little effort is a result that should be appreciated and enjoyed, not everyone can be as lucky as you.

Those who have gambling bankroll or gambling budget are not many and only few and majority of them are just playing when they decided to play gamble. I myself I don have a budget or bankroll for gambling and I play whenever I have cash but the only different is that I have self-control and not addicted so once I finished the amount set for the game then I go home. And one thing I also discovered for gamblers is that, those who are working and have enough money can plan for gambling bankroll or budget and not for peasants. A peasant gambler play according to what he have.

Yes there is no preparation whatsoever that leads to limitations regarding the budget before gambling, the majority of them only have the intention of playing and depositing the amount of money they want which sometimes there is always the idea of ​​trying to allocate a larger amount than usual with the mindset of "maybe with a large amount I can be lucky," meaning anything a gambler can think about, especially those who only see gambling in terms of the chance of winning.

On the other hand, whether you want to implement restrictions on the amount of budget for gambling or not is actually up to you, because the point is that as long as you can manage and control yourself in gambling activities then of course you will be able to avoid bad impacts such as losing money. in large quantities. This means that it is useless if from the start you set the budget you want to allocate but it turns out that you do not have the ability to control yourself, especially when you experience a loss, then in the end you will still end up depositing money again to gamble and chase losses. This is in accordance with your approach to gambling, and the point is that as long as you can control it well according to your abilities then of course you will avoid bad possibilities.

This is a whole level of gambling that nobody wants to get to. This would cause you so much stress and so much depression I can’t even imagine what that must be like. To he that addicted to the game that you even go into debt in order to fund the habit now that’s dangerous
Well this is the basically what gambling addiction can cause, like it can fuck you up so badly that even you yourself would be surprised to the action that you would carry out just to fulfill the urges that rides in the thoughts of those that are addicted at that moment. And the worse part is that it can definitely affect the lives of people around you even without you noticing it.
Very unfortunate that gamblers don't see the negative impact of their gambling addiction. These gamblers don't wonder why some of their relatives hate them and have no close friends anymore because of their changing behavior.

It is reputation and trust that are affected the most which makes those people around us will stay away and no longer approachable. I hope new gamblers will never wait for this will come before they take action but rather make a habit of controlling their emotions from the start because it was hard to recover when we are already in a state of addiction.

What you said is true and also the majority of addicted gamblers in my opinion do not realize that they are in danger due to involvement in gambling in the wrong way, they do not know about the magnitude of the impact of the situation because usually there is nothing else they think about but winning and winning. I would say that addicted gamblers will always end the session with regret and emotion, win or lose it will always be a bad outcome, because usually what I know is that when they manage to win then they always apply the greed aspect in their gambling activities in order to pursue bigger wins which because of this they end up losing again which makes them lose all the money from the previous win.

And that is a cycle of involvement in gambling that is at a chronic level which can increase emotions in themselves and it is also very likely that they vent their emotions or resentment to those closest to them, meaning that it is only natural that those closest to them hate them and stay away from them, which in addition to gambling has a bad viewpoint in the eyes of most people, meaning of course as you said that public trust in them will definitely decrease which when trust is lost then it will make it difficult for gamblers to establish relationships or seek help from others.

Yes quitting at the right time, ignoring greed and saying "enough is enough" is something that will be very difficult for the majority of gamblers to do, and this is a problem that often occurs repeatedly, but I know a good reason why gamblers do this. We go back to the fact that everyone loves money, they always want and need it, and gambling winnings are money and this is the reason why gamblers often apply greed in their gambling activities especially when they win rather than saying "enough is enough".
The problem with gambling is that it’s a cycle.

When you’re winning you think “I’M THE BEST. I’M ON A LUCKY STREAK. I WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY LUCKY STREAK.” and then you lose and now all you could think is how will you get back the money you lost. Then you’ll keep playing and you will keep losing because you keep playing even if you’re losing and this cycle continues for no end until you tell yourself that this should end now.

Greed is the main motivation for this. You’re greedy for wanting more and not being content to what you have won and greedy again because you can’t let go the fact that you’ve lost and there’s nothing much to do that could get you back your money.

Yes, it means that it is the wrong mindset applied to gambling. The best thing is not to be too excessive in responding to the results of victory and still maintain the belief that the victory you managed to get is nothing more than luck, or that means luck came at the right time so that you managed to win. One of the reasons is because obviously the possibility of defeat will always lurk and it can happen at any time, especially when your luck is gone at that time.

And also I believe that by having a balanced understanding and belief in the sense of understanding that victory is nothing more than a lucky situation along with realizing that defeat will always be a part of gambling, it will make you more careful in every decision when you win or when you are in a winning situation, and this mindset will also be able to prevent you from various actions that lead to greed. In gambling, what should be prioritized is self-acceptance regarding the possibility of risk, because of course when a gambler is unable to accept the fact of losing then in the end it is like what you said where they will continue to gamble in order to catch up with the losses they have experienced, and that is a cycle that will make them lose even greater amounts of money.
