Yes, not only giving advice to yourself but also self-introspection about how far you have gone in gambling, whether it has given you happiness or chaos. If you really feel like you are in chaos, you should never continue gambling or place bets again to avoid addiction because gambling too deeply is indeed very difficult to cure. Moreover, sometimes it is difficult to listen to other people's advice.
Recognizing the negative impact gambling has had on your life is a crucial step towards healing. Self-introspection is essential in understanding the underlying reasons behind your gambling behavior. Reflect on the emotions, thoughts, and situations that trigger your urge to gamble. Identifying these triggers can help you develop coping mechanisms and avoid situations that put you at risk of relapse.

I dont think advices from other people would work for addicted people, because their logic on the matter has been overshadowed by addictive desire. the importance to have trusted people around is to be a good listener and to find alternative activities that can reduce the times spent on gambling.

First, as long as the casino itself tells you to gamble responsibly, and you also are legally allowed to do without anyone forcing you to do. So, you shouldn’t get influenced by those streamers no matter what. They are only doing their job and creating content about gambling or trying a casino they didn’t invite you or force you to gamble.
And since these streamers also paid for a number of views, they will just continue to create gambling-related content specifically targeting those gambling community audiences regardless if they are affiliated or not by these gambling sites. In most cases, some gambling streamers are not really partnered with a gambling site. They just want to lure viewers to their channels and show their experience regarding that gambling site.
Gambling content can generate significant viewership and engagement, especially among individuals who are already interested in gambling. The intension behind this strategy is usually to increase channel viewership and potentially monetize the channel through various means, such as advertising, and merchandise sales. By streaming the gambling audience, streamers can tap into a potentially lucrative market and attract viewers who are more likely to interact with their content.

While some streamers may enjoy sharing their gambling experiences and providing insights to their viewers, others may prioritize viewership growth and monetization over the potential risks associated with promoting gambling activities. Viewers need to be discerning about the content they consume and to be aware of the potential biases and conflicts of interest that may exist when streamers promote gambling-related content.

There are some people out there that cannot understand their lives without their addiction, and the only way they will stop is if they are unable to get physical access to the source of their addiction, however even those that end up setting foot on jail may still find a way to keep their addiction going.

After all even if the inside of a jail is supposed to be an environment that is highly restricted, prisoners still find a way to get gamble or even to introduce illegal drugs inside the prison.
Addiction can be a powerful force that can drive people to engage in destructive behaviors, even in highly restricted environments like prisons. The reasons why people continue to pursue their addictions despite the negative consequences are complex and often multifaceted. Some people use addictive activities as a way to cope with difficult emotions, stress, or trauma.

Addiction often co-occurs with mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety. These conditions can make it even more difficult to overcome addiction without proper treatment. Even within prison walls, individuals can form social networks that support their addiction. This could involve sharing contraband, providing access to gambling, or even using drugs together.

I think one type of gambler who can make a living out of his games is poker player.
A lot of poker players especially those professional ones are surviving owed to their tournaments.
But this game needs a lot of years of experience and practice to hone your skills and acquire tips and tricks.
And once you mastered this game, you can really survive just by playing poker game.
Professional poker players compete in high-stakes tournaments and cash games, potentially earning significant sums of money. Becoming a successful poker player requires dedication, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the game's strategies and nuances.

While making a living from poker is something achievable, it's not a guarantee of easy money. It requires a significant investment of time, effort, and financial resources. Many Professional poker players have sponsorship funding. Only a small percentage of poker players reach the level of success that allows them to support themselves solely from their winnings.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anonymity is no longer a benefit of gambling with cryptocurrency. on: November 26, 2023, 01:15:37 PM
with the evolving requirements these days, most reputable casinos or bookies are now requiring kyc from their players. but i do agree, it is still up to the player if he will submit his credentials or not, however, be ready for possible consequences if the site is licensed and is asking your kyc details before withdrawal. otherwise, look for casinos which are not strict but be ready for worst case scenarios like freezing of your funds and the likes.
As online gambling regulations continue to evolve, KYC procedures have become increasingly stringent for reputable casinos and bookies. These measures are designed to prevent money laundering, fraud, and underage gambling, and they are essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of the online gambling industry.

While players may have the choice to not provide their KYC details, they should be aware of the potential consequences. Licensed casinos and bookies may restrict withdrawals, limit account access, or even close accounts altogether for players who fail to comply with KYC requirements. Opting for unlicensed or non-strict casinos may expose players to a greater risks. These casinos may not have the same safeguards in place to protect player funds and information.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: November 26, 2023, 01:09:23 PM
Most gamblers, at least those who do it regularly and possibly have a problem, will not have any sort of limit built in to their winning upside and often take all their winnings to plow it straight back in. You're trying to frame this as an activity where most people have control and are taking calculated risks, but often they are simply guessing and finding enjoyment from the buzz or habitual nature of the activity. I have not come across many gamblers, but the ones I've seen often look a bit robotic - like they are trapped in a nasty cycle of self abuse and look fairly miserable (when thinking about people sat around in slot machine arcades). That makes me think there is zero strategy involved and even if they did have a big win, it would probably not even outweigh all the money they had poured into it up to that point.
While some individuals do engage in gambling as a form of entertainment or to test their skills, a significant portion of gamblers, particularly those who gamble regularly or excessively, often exhibit problematic patterns. The allure of gambling lies in its potential for quick and substantial financial gains. This potential reward is often overshadowed by the high probability of losses. Many gamblers tend to chase their losses, and then try to recoup the losses. This behavior often leads to a vicious cycle of financial strain and emotional distress.

The repetitive nature of the game, coupled with the intermittent rewards, can create a mentally loop that reinforces the gambling behavior. This can lead to a state of detachment and a loss of control over one's actions. The notion that a single big win can outweigh all the previous losses is a fallacy that often traps gamblers in a cycle of addiction. The overall pattern of losses far outweighs any occasional wins.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 26, 2023, 12:57:52 PM
I have not heard about this before. My gambling y friends and I that are gambling all know that the more you stay gambling the more likely you will lose more. If you gamble with a bigger amount, either you win or loss just quit for the day. But to prolong your gambling time, use small amount and enjoy but there is nothing like jackpot unless you just have the luck.
When someone gambles there is no target for time so everyone should keep a fixed budget for gambling so that the budget does not help him to gamble for a long time. Because prolonged gambling hardens a person to his deep addiction. Then he does not care about the negative effects of gambling. And thus he became a gambling addict and suffered a lot financially at one point. So I would suggest to always set a budget so that it only helps him to be entertainment and not addicted
Fixed budget is a must because if you dont put up any budget or limitation then you are really that putting yourself at great trouble and this is something that must be avoided when
you are dealing with gambling. Never make yourself that desperate or trying out to catch those losses because if you do then you are really that putting
yourself at great risks and  this is something which it isnt recommended on doing so.
Setting a fixed budget is crucial for responsible gambling. Without a budget, it's easy to get carried away and lose more money than you can afford. Establishing a clear limit beforehand helps you stay in control of your spending and prevents you from making impulsive decisions that could lead to financial loophole.

When you have a losing money afford, like a gambler for example, You need to calculate your monthly income and subtract your essential expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. The remaining amount represents your disposable income, which you can allocate for leisure activities, including gambling. Once you've set your limits, it's essential to stick to them. Don't chase losses or try to win back money you've already lost. If you reach your limit for the day or week, stop gambling and take a break.

There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?

Maybe they dont mean to influence the young ones in your family the wrong way. Maybe they just want to bond with the whole family, the old and the young and cricket is the game they thought of. I remember my uncles when I was young that they thought us this game too. We had games with them but we prioritize our studies. Maybe what you can do is to offer an alternative game that everyone in the family can enjoy. Too much of anything can be a distraction to studies or other important things so we should teach the younger ones first to know their priorities.
Their intentions might be good, and they might just want to bond with the younger ones. The impact is always there from anything to anything. The old people in a family have responsible to manage the young ones' activities. That's actually the reason for the bond is needed.

The Bond should be a way to have open and honest conversations with the younger ones about the importance of balance and prioritizing their studies. Explain to them that while it's great to have fun and bond with family, it's also important to make sure they're not neglecting their studies or other important things.

Timo Werner has been involved in lesser games that I thought this seems, yes he got to win the Champions League with Chelsea but that haven't helped solveed his injury facing problems. He also have scored more than three goals this season, I do think that the player Real Madrid wants has got to be someone who has a god scoring form.

Now if you put that into consideration and dig into Icardi, he had already scored eleven league goals this season for Galatasaray and has given four assist. That's something he can do for Real Madrid too. If it does work fine, if it doesn't, I'd stay at home.
Timo Werner has had his fair share of injury problems lately, and his goal-scoring form has not been as consistent as Real Madrid would like from a striker. Mauro Icardi has been in excellent form for Galatasaray this season, and his goal-scoring record looks so good too, but I dont think Madrid have interest in Icardi.

I think Real Madrid willl only target a young talented striker that wil be their attacking force for years. Real Madrid will also consider other factors beyond just goal-scoring when evaluating a potential striker target. Timo Werner and Mauro Icardi dont suit the profile that Madrid want to have.

PSG's team harmony is very good this year and it's getting better and better. I don't know if they will be there this year, but in 2-3 years, with the protection of their young players and 1-2 reinforcements to the left wing + midfield, they can win a champions league title. Although they were good in the past years, they were not favourites for the Champions League because they did not have a clear team game, but this season they have overcome that. It's not usual for Ligue 1, but it was a match with a premier league tempo, albeit rare. Psg this year is made up of players who fight like soldiers.
PSG's team harmony has undoubtedly improved since last month, and their recent performances have demonstrated their potential to dominate Ligue 1 again and challenge for UCL Tittle. The team's cohesion and fighting spirit are evident, and with the right reinforcements, they could stay a big force in europe for years.

Their progress under Christophe Galtier has been impressive, and the team has adopted a more focused and determined approach. The addition of experienced players like Vitinha and Nuno Mendes has also settled to the squad, providing depth and versatility. While there are still some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of tactical consistency and defensive solidity, PSG's current trajectory suggests that they are on the right path to achieving their top targets.

Xabi Alonso has really done well with this team, I mean he has transformed the whole setting and I think this team will aslo have some point to say in the coming Europa league competition and it would be a really interesting match as the team will have to stand out  with his former club as a player which is the also informed Liverpool. I can only hope that this winning stride of theirs isn't affected by injury cause thats the most important thing when  and it reduced the moral of a team at a very large extent.
Xabi Alonso has transformed their style of play and instilled a winning mentality into Bayer Leverkusen squad. This is a significant impact from a manager to any team need . Their recent success in the Europa League is a testament to his coaching abilities. It will indeed be an intriguing matchup when they face Liverpool, Alonso's former club, in the Europa League.

Injuries can undoubtedly disrupt a team's momentum and dampen their morale. But they possess a deep and talented squad capable of adapting to setbacks, even though this ability to adapt to this situation hasnt tested yet. Maintaining their winning streak will require a combination of tactical nous, player fitness, and a strong team spirit. Alonso's leadership will be crucial in navigating these challenges.

I predicted that we would see many goals in the match between Atalanta and Napoli, it happened as I thought and we watched 3 goals in the match. There was even one more goal that didn't count.
In general, it was a match as I expected, both teams found many positions, but at the end of the match, Napoli was the winner. If they had scored more goals in the first half, they would have been much more comfortable in the match, but the beginning of the second half was very fast and both teams made defensive mistakes
I didn't expect the Napoli vs Atalanta match to be very tight, in that match there were 3 goals scored and all of them happened in the second half, the possession of the ball from both teams was almost equal, honestly Atalanta played very well as hosts, they didn't give up but The Napoli squad played better, what I really regret is that Osimhen only played in the 64th minute, he should have started, even though Osimhen managed to provide 1 assist on Napoli's second goal. competition to enter the top 3 this season is very tight for Napoli, they are still 2 points behind Milan.
It was indeed a thrilling match between Napoli and Atalanta, with both teams showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite Atalanta's impressive performance at their home, Napoli are able to manage the win, thanks to their solid second-half play.

Osimhen could be a tactical solution from the manager to strengthen the attacks in last minutes while atlanta players at low concentration, his impact was undeniable as he contributed to Napoli's second goal. The competition for the top 3 spots in Serie A is so intense now, and Napoli's determination to close the gap on Milan is evident.

Atletico madrid also managed to get 3 point in today match where Atletico madrid were able to win this match with a narrow score which made them move up to 3rd place in the standing. The competition in the top 4 is getting more interesting, but for 5th place, Bilbao has such a gap in points with barcelona that makes barcelona not too worried about the pressure put on by the team below them.
Winning by one goal is not winning  by luck but many people always call it winning by luck, but seriously, atletico Madrid won today. I did not see it as lucky because I believe they can defend the goals because they are good to do It in fact, that is the atletico Madrid pattern of play in their football. I have known before  Atletico Madrid does not always score goals, but just recently, they started scoring more goals. From the statistics and performances of the match, it was clear that Atletico Madrid won the game comfortably because Atletico  was team that controing the pitch throughout the game, and it was even one attempt on goals Mallorca got.
Atletico Madrid won this match comfortably, a well-deserved one. They controlled the pitch throughout the game and only allowed Mallorca one attempt on goal. Atm has recently started scoring more goals, but they are still known for their strong defense. This was a typical Atletico performance.

They dominated this game by showing their real character in entire game. Their defense was solid as always, and they have been a threat going forward. Their attacking style is much better which is encouraging to see that they're scoring more goals lately, as that was one of their weaknesses in the past. Overall, it was a a good game by Atlético Madrid.

Manchester City was good in the first half because they managed to score a goal from Erling Haaland's kick, but when in the final minute Manchester City's defense seemed weak and Liverpool realized that, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to score a goal and in the end gave a draw. Manchester City at least had tried hard to maintain their defense. And finally, Arsenal reached the top of the standings because Manchester City failed to win the match against Liverpool.
Manchester City's first-half dominance was evident, with Haaland's goal proving their attacking threat is so scary. But, their defense structure were exposed in the final minutes, allowing Liverpool to get a point. The draw shows the competitive nature of the Premier League, where a formidable team have to stay fighting till the last minute.

Liverpool, on the other hand, showed their resilience in coming back from a goal down to secure a point as they always show this season. Alexander-Arnold's goal was a moment of individual brilliance, and their attacking threat was always present. they will need to find more consistency if they want to keep competing for the title. As the Premier League season progresses, the battle for dominance will continue to intensify. Manchester City and Liverpool have shown their capabilities, but their inconsistent performances could open the door for other teams to challenge.

There are exchange tokens that are good for investing our funds because the exchange team would always look for ways to make sure they keep there token safe in both consistency and liquidity which will keep the price of to keep going higher.
We should not onl6invest our money on exchange tokens only but other tokens also so that we can make profits too from other peojects which might give us higher liquidity that will keep making the price of the project on a higher price than exchange tokens.
Exchange tokens can be a safer investment, because the exchange team has strong reasons to keep the token price high. This is because the token is usually used to pay for trading fees on the exchange. This means the exchange generates more revenue from fees with a higher price of token. the exchange team may use some of its profits to buy back and burn tokens, which can also help to reduce the supply of tokens and drive up the price.

I think exchange tokens are the best option among many tokens in cryptocurrencies market, because it feels like the money from central bank. That's why the price of exchange tokens is not so fluctuating. However, there is no guarantee that an exchange token will continue to increase in value. The exchange team could decide to change its policies or practices in a way that could threaten the value of the token.

If you look at the history and material of the current players and coaches, it is very natural that Liverpool are the favorites to win the Europa League. However, Liverpool, which often experiences a sudden decline in performance, sometimes means that this opportunity can be lost. But I think it's still too early to judge who will be the best. Arsenal or even later there will be more teams that fall in the Champions League and enter the European League via the play-off route.
Liverpool surely has a strong track record of success in European competitions, Their current squad is full of talented players, but Liverpool never played with their strongest lineup in Europa League this season which suggests this competition is not their priority. This can make them slip at any stage.
 
There are also a number of other teams that could potentially fall out of the Champions League and into the Europa League play-offs. The Europa League is shaping up to be an exciting competition this season, with a number of strong teams competing for the title. Liverpool is the early favorite, but that depends on their focus on this competition. they will face stiff competition from other potential challengers.

Chelsea would be motivated by the positive outcome of their two previous matches firstly they defeated unbeaten Tottenham Hotspur and later drew with Man City in a game dubbed to be their best this season, it's obvious Newcastle united had been inconsistent with their performance lost against lowly rated Bournemouth last week thus I don't think they would pose any threat against Chelsea tomorrow, I think Chelsea had started to regain their confidence in the league despite all the prediction and speculation about them losing to Man City yet put up a brilliant performance and playing against Newcastle I think they game is going to end in a draw or Chelsea win narrowly with a lone goal.
This newfound confidence by Chelsea will serve them well as they face Newcastle United, a team that has struggled for consistency lately. Newcastle United's recent defeat to Bournemouth highlights their vulnerability, and it's unlikely they will pose a significant threat to Chelsea's resurgent spirit. Chelsea's attacking prowess, evident in their recent matches, should be enough to overcome Newcastle's defenses.

Chelsea's current momentum suggests they are on fire and gaining confidence that makes them will be at their best for 3 points. Newcastle, on the other hand, always win at home except against Liverpool. This game is about two teams who want to get back winning mentality. A narrow victory, solidifying their position in the league standings, seems like a likely scenario.
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something you don't have to forget on: November 24, 2023, 09:24:54 PM
One of the great upsides of this is that all those people who forgot or can't access their coins basically took some bitcoins out of the market, creating scarcity and that means we have a lot less bitcoin. The biggest example would be 1 million for satoshi, and there are probably millions more, and there are millions that are being held as well and not sold, for long term holding. This creates a very tiny amount of bitcoin compared to general how much there is, that is in the market. So when there is this little amount in the market, we all trade the same coins back and forth, and this demand/supply balance is getting shifted towards demand over supply, when all these people forget their access.
The loss of bitcoins due to a lost access devices is indeed a contributing factor to the overall scarcity of bitcoins in circulation. With a finite supply of 21 million bitcoins, every bitcoin that is lost effectively reduces the total number of available bitcoins, making the remaining ones more valuable.

The loss of a significant amount of bitcoins, because a smaller circulating supply can lead to increased demand, which in turn can drive up the price of bitcoin. the long-term holding of bitcoins by investors further reduces the amount of bitcoins available for trading, contributing to the scarcity dynamic. This behavior is often driven by the belief that bitcoin has the potential to appreciate significantly in value over time.

Real Madrid cannot depend on this team to be on top of Laliga table for long because the team is not strong enough to withstand some pressure in some opponents, and due to injuries of some of their key players like Vinicius JR that has always been affecting the team’s performance. I think they need to find a way to sign replacement for some players like Vinicius JR and others so that when they are injured they will have player of the same or better quality to replace and keep the team in the right state.

Injuries have made Real Madrid struggling to maintain consistency in La Liga this season. While they have shown flashes of brilliance, they have also been vulnerable to defeats against weaker opponents. Real Madrid's reliance on a few key players has become evident, and the absence of one or two can significantly impact their performance.

Real Madrid also need a more robust midfield could provide better control in the midfield to cover their defense from sporadic counter-attacks, especially against tougher opponents. Real Madrid needs to make strategic signings to enhance their squad depth and reduce their dependence on a few key players.

Both teams are not taking each other lightly, and if there is any assumption about that then I think it is just nonsense. PSG knows very well Monaco's strength this season, as well as Monaco knows exactly PSG's strength. Both teams will both field their best squad to get positive results, but I admit that PSG is superior at home.

This season PSG has had 1 defeat and 1 draw in 6 home matches in Ligue 1, Monaco has 3 draws and 1 loss in 6 matches. Last season Monaco managed to win 4 points against PSG, but I think this season will be reversed where PSG has a good chance to win more points from Monaco. This is an important match for both of them, but if PSG win then they will be in better form for the match against Newcastle in the next few days.
both PSG and Monaco are aware of each other's strengths. but I think PSG is not perfect shape because many of their players had international duty before this game. PSG need to take advantage as they play at home which have a strong record. However, Monaco is still a dangerous opponent as them trying to back to their best form after some unsatisfied results in last few games.

This match is likely to be a close one, and it could go either way. Both teams have the potential to win, and it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top. they will be looking to cause an upset.
