I'm sure everyone here involved into gambling has made such reckless bet  at least once in life.

Did such bet/s change  your gambling styles?

Have you become to be more eager in gambling or , on the contrary it has put a chill on you?

I think perhaps almost all gamblers have done something careless in gambling, but only in certain situations, for example experiencing continuous losses every time you place a bet, this makes a gambler's emotions run high and in the end they make mistakes such as wanting revenge and betting without thinking. to lose again because they hope that by doing this they will get good luck at the end of the game. Changes in playing style often occur in gambling and only a few gamblers are able to control themselves when placing bets.

Everyone thought Leverkusen would finish the season winning the Treble and be equipped with an unbeaten record in three competitions, but the defeat in the Europa League final meant they failed to make a mark in football history as a Treble winning team that was never defeated in one season. Leverkusen defeat against Atalanta felt very embarrassing, they had the status of the top team in that game but were unable to withstand the onslaught of the Atalanta players.
Of course Leverkusen have made their own history despite failing to maintain their unbeaten record in the Europa League final, now they have the chance to win their second trophy of the season when they face Kaiserslautern in the DFB pokal final.
Hopefully this defeat can make the Leverkusen team realize that they need to be more consistent when they start next season.
It is indeed very unfortunate that because of this defeat they failed to become an unbeatable team when competing in every competition, but even though they failed, I salute Xabi Alonso because with his hard work he has made the Leverkusen team really develop this season and it has been proven that they are feared by almost When all other teams wanted to face them, especially in the Bundesliga League, they actually managed to win one trophy in that league even though previously the Leverkusen team could be called an inconsistent team and a bottom team.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 24, 2024, 02:38:52 PM
Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.
The spread of gambling addiction among school and college boys and girls is like a curse for future generations. However, in all countries where gambling is legal, gambling is legal for students and they can participate in gambling within the permitted age. But in my country like in your country children are getting addicted to gambling at a young age and also students in school uniform are getting involved in the horrendous addiction to drugs, so they are heading towards a dark future and we cannot expect anything good from the next generation.
Maybe gambling is legal in that country so the betting shop owners don't forbid them from coming to gamble but unfortunately by wearing school uniforms to gamble we can conclude that they seem to prioritize gambling over their school lessons, in contrast to countries that prohibit gambling like in the country where I live. Maybe If a student comes to a betting shop and wears a school uniform, he will definitely be expelled from school as a sanction for his actions in order to ensure that the university's name is not tarnished among the community.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?
People like this are what cause gambling to become bad in society because basically when we come to gamble not for fun but to earn a living then this is what makes the person an irresponsible gambler so they will do anything whether it is theft or other crimes to get money for gambling, but this will not happen if we assume that gambling is only for entertainment, for example, like rich people who gamble, they are very responsible in gambling because it is only to please themselves.

Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart are the biggest winners of this season with their performance, but Bayer Leverkusen is having their name into history books as they are having title without losing any match which is the biggest achievement for them under Xabi Alonso with now two matches are remaining which will give them more success and achievements to add into their portfolio before end of this season.
The remaining two matches are no longer matches in the Bundesliga, but are the final match in the Europa League and also the final match in the DFB Cup this season. And if Bayer Leverkusen can win these two important matches, of course their portfolio will be much better and will not even be able to compete with other teams next season. Because surviving not to lose in various competitions is something that is not easy for anyone to do, it is natural that this season there are many people who continue to praise the performance of Bayer Leverkusen.
Yes, it is true that with the success achieved by the Leverkusen team, perhaps now many parties will definitely praise their performance because they have always been able to appear consistent from the start of the season to the end of the season. I personally really admire Xabi Alonso because he was able to make the Leverkusen team a team that other teams are very wary of, especially in the Bundesliga League. We certainly know that there are many other coaches who are able to bring their team success, but it is very rare to find a coach like Xabi Alonso who can make Leverkusen players always appear consistent when competing until they are unbeatable in every game they play.

Isn't education about gambling prevention or gambling addiction has been exist since long time? I remember there was few non profit organization conduct a seminar when I was a kid.
Gambling education could have been existing since a long time ago but not common or not existing in some countries. I can say that there is nothing like gambling education in Asia and Africa. I do not think it is common in North America, Europe and South America and Australia. We only even saw this today but which could be ineffective. What we noticed more is that gambling is becoming more common among teen and the under aged are not given a better education on gambling.
Even though gambling education has been around for a long time, unfortunately it has not reduced the percentage of gambling among teenagers and shows that it is not very effective in preventing the rise of gambling among teenagers. It is not easy for us to give advice to the younger generation, especially in this day and age where almost everything is online, so it will be difficult to prevent children from gambling because every time they hold a smartphone, advertisements for gambling sites will appear on their smartphone screen, whether intentionally or not, and this is a strong influence for them to start with gamble.

Today the season is finishing in the Bundesliga. It has been a long journey and its ending is also great with Leverkusen's winning the title.  Smiley

When I look at the standings I see that there are two interesting competitions. One of them is for the Europa League and Conference League, the other one is a relegation battle. I don't think Frankfurt will lose their Europa League spot. But it is difficult to predict which one of Hoffenheim and Freiburg will join the Conference League. When it comes to the relegation zone Koln will most probably relegate directly. Union Berlin also are about to play relegation playoffs as long as Mainz get at least one point.
The Bundesliga season is coming to an end today after a long journey. Bayern Leverkusen can't wait to beat Augsburg today and lift the Bundesliga title. The atmosphere will be amazing in Bayern Leverkusen's home, and their fans will be so happy for what they have achieved this season in the Bundesliga today. I am looking forward to seeing how Bayern Leverkusen will set their unbeaten record today when Augsburg visits them at home.
With the current condition of Leverkusen's performance, I don't think the Augsburg team is a serious threat to be defeated by Leverkusen, this match is the last match they will play this season so the Leverkusen players will definitely be very enthusiastic about facing Augsburg and will come out as winners, especially the players Leverkusen is aware that they will soon lift the trophy because other teams are no longer catching up with their points standings. I am very confident that Leverkusen will win the match as long as they don't underestimate their opponents.

Bayern Munich's performance is bad so Munich did not win the title? Or is the Leverkusen team playing so well that Munich can't win the title?

I would say that the Leverkusen team has performed well this season which is why Munich failed to win the title. The previous season, Munich won the title with 71 points. This season, Munich has earned 72 points from 33 matches, but still Munich is 15 points behind Leverkusen. I wouldn't say that Munich's performance has deteriorated more than last season.
I don't think the Munich management will fire Thomas Tuchel right now. Tuchel is likely to be offered another season by Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga title was earned by a club that's unbeaten in 50 games played this season. Bayer Leverkusen was extremely on fire and did everything to maintain this outstanding standards. Bayern Munich accumulated 72 points and they're second position on the Bundesliga table. They weren't their best this season with watching poor performance coming from all rounds tournament. Thomas Tuchel didn't do excellent job but there's hope for him to recover and bounce back to good winning form atleast the board will give listening ears to the manager and agent.
Leverkusen has appeared very impressive this season, who would have thought that the team would be able to always appear consistent and perform well this season in every match they play, especially in the Bundesliga League, thus preventing the Bayern team from lifting the trophy. 15 points adrift of the Leverkusen team, this season the Bayern players had to give up Leverkusen as winners of the Bundesliga trophy because apart from that there was nothing else the Bayern team could do at the end of the season by being in 2nd place in the standings, showing that Bayern is one of the strongest teams and will definitely perform even better next season.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: May 17, 2024, 07:55:40 AM
A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already. In fact, we've been seeing a massive increase in gamblers and online gambling sites. But how this could affect the mindset of the kids when they are also seeing these ads/promotions from the social media influencers they followed? I could be wrong but this has a mental effect on them and at a very young age, they are exposed to gambling already which is supposedly not the right time.

I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their vlogs or videos?
Luckily, my country has now imposed sanctions on influencers and creators if anyone promotes gambling site advertisements either through uploaded YouTube videos or on other social media stories, maybe this can prevent underage children from not getting to know gambling sites. too early for them and also prevents them from mental damage, because usually small children will definitely do what they see, especially if the gambling site advertisement is promoted by a creator or influencer they idolize.

I've come across this several times but most times I feel maybe I've enemies, fighting me not to survive in life but i noticed that it's a game of luck. First one day I predict a game earlier this week the odds were perfect for it to enter. My games were going so well i stake $1000 then total refunds it was about $10,000 i kept on praying in my mind, it was just one game for me remaining then all of a sudden i fell asleep on the process. While I wake up to check my game the last game ended me up with a cry 😭, i took the risk cause a friend of mine took the same risk now he his a millionaire because of one slice luck made him who he his today. And what I understand is that if you really want to be a millionaire through gambling, you only have to increase in your amount that you stake the higher the amount the richer you can in a minutes. I don't know for yours, what's yours?
You sound like a gambling god because the bet you placed was worth $1000, sometimes even rich gamblers don't dare to do it because they realize that doing so is a way of losing everything for nothing.
It's quite interesting to hear your story, especially when you say that your friend has now become a millionaire in just a matter of minutes by winning a bet, but I don't believe what you say because of the fact that I see in gambling, no matter how lucky a gambler is, no one can get rich from gambling.

This season, Allegri has shown positive progress in Juventus' performance and indeed for next season they must be able to perform much better than this season to be able to compete in the UCL and all of that does not depend on Allegri alone, but must be supported strongly. by Juventus management to be able to bring in quality players.
I think it is not only Allegri who is responsible for Juventus' unsatisfactory performance, but the entire Juventus management must also be responsible.
I don't see any promising performance from Juventus in this season and Allegri seems failed although have been success make Juventus qualifying to Champion League next season. Actually Juventus get benefit with Serie A has extra quota for participating in Champion League and current standings just remaining four points from Bologna has one match left. I doubt with Allegri tactician in this season will make Juventus finish on top fourth standings position after being draw against relegation team Salernitana on last match.
For next season, Juventus will appearance in Champion League and must improving their performance behind have several years not participants in the highest of European competition. Not only must promising performance in Champion League but also Juventus need return to Scudetto race after  missing almost four season.
There are many changes that must be made, especially by the Juventus coach, so that the team can perform optimally when participating in the Italian League and Champions League next season and maybe by bringing in several players there is a possibility that Juventus can develop, but the most important thing for now is how Allegri must be able to motivate the Juventus players. so that his mentality improves when competing because in my opinion it is useless if great players are brought in, but the coach cannot motivate his players when they are in the dressing room.

And I don't think someone in the gambling industry as a win win gambling history, or your wins are bigger than the loss. And all the experiences I have in the gambling industry, I have not seen anyone win win and also those of my friends who are gamblers have not in any day have a win win gambling and there is no loss record in their gambling history. And all the ones I have seen and known, the loses are more than the wins. And when I carefully look at the argument I also accept the assertion that what you win was part of your loss. Is that true? Make your input.
Generally in gambling, of course the ratio of losses will be greater than wins, so it is not surprising that we more often see gamblers who come out losing.
In fact, many gamblers realize that the occasional winnings they make are only a small fraction of the money we lose when we lose. To be honest, sometimes I feel surprised when I see friends from my circle who are very enthusiastic and want to continue betting after getting a small win even though they know that the winnings they get are nothing compared to the losses while involved in gambling.

Congratulations to them on achieving such great milestone of going 50 games unbeaten. They are surely the giants of the league this season as they are yet to be beaten, for a team like this this is a record that can never be  forgotten and will go down in history of the league. I admire their confidence and determination of not giving up no matter the circumstances even when they are losing towards the end of the game they always find their way back.

Despite having won the trophy they are not backing down yet and are still trashing opponents, i was surprised when i saw the score line go up to 5 goals against Bochum i thought they won’t be serious about the match since they have already won the league.
Bayer Leverkusen is very ambitious, they want this season to be unbeaten, it is not an easy thing for other teams to make their team unbeaten in one season, something that should be appreciated for the team and of course coach Xabi Alonso, Xabi really turned this team into the best not only in the league but currently in Europe.

How the stamina and mentality that Xabi creates in his players is not just something, his team has proven it in making it happen, how they always score goals in the last minutes even in a losing position, and when they are confirmed as league champions they still aim for victory, this is the team who was built with a strong mentality, and wants himself to not only be known in his country as a champion, but he is aiming for complete victory this season by never failing.
We should acknowledge the success of the Leverkusen team this season because Xabi Alonson was able to communicate well when in the dressing room with the players, thus creating an extraordinary mentality for the Leverkusen players as we see today and of course we rarely find in other teams. who is always able to appear consistently in every match he plays even though he is a big team, but Xabi Alonso has proven capable of making Leverkusen a team to watch out for in the Bundesliga League.

Aston Villa taking a draw is not bad for some other teams. For example, we know Totenhlam recently couldn't have a good performance and they lost some points during this season in the last games they had. Now Aston Villa is the main competitor for Tohantam to get the Champions League ticket for the next season and this cannot be easy for them.
I guess now and after this draw from Aston Villa, Tottenham will still have hope because there is only five points difference between these two teams.
With only 5 points away from Aston Villa, there is still a chance for the Tottenham team to shift the Aston Villa team's position in 4th place in the current standings and will get a ticket to go to the Champions League, but with the condition that the Tottenham players must be able to show their performance to the maximum. when competing in the remaining matches, especially when they have to face the Manchester City team, we know that this team is an opponent that is difficult for them to beat, so in that match, the Tottenham players must not make the slightest mistake so that they are not easily beaten by Manchester City.

The three quick goals pulled the plug pretty quickly though. There was no coming back for Dortmund and Mainz knew that if they concentrate on their defense, they got the 3 points they need. This game was worth a bet in my eyes, but I didn't place one. Wink

Bundesliga games are coming to an end soon and from what I saw Borussia Dortmund already secured a place for UEFA Champions League which explains partially why they didn't took today's game against Mainz seriously. At the opposite, I find Mainz pushing to stay out of the Champions League
It seems like the Bundesliga is no longer a priority for the Dortmonud team at the moment because if you look at the performance they played in the match against Mainz, the Dortmound players didn't force themselves to play to the fullest of their ability so that the Mainz team was able to win with a score of 3-0 in that match and were lucky as a result of winning in In that match they are now out of the relegation zone. Dortmound players chose to prioritize the Champions League final because they realized that the Madrid team was a very difficult opponent for them to beat.

If he's truly seeking a challenge, the Premier League could be a great option. However, he might opt for the easier path, where success in the Champions League is almost guaranteed with Madrid. However, he needs Real Madrid more than Real Madrid needs him.
You mean La Liga is easier? but in the UCL which Premier League team is currently surviving?

Mbappe decided to go to Madrid because he fits Madrid's style and vision, while in the Premier League so far Mbappe doesn't have a place or does the English team not dare to spend money to pay his salary? It's about a brighter future and Madrid is definitely the place to be. Can you tell me which English club is suitable for Mbappe if the Premier League option is really worth exploring? Manchester City? Manchester United? Liverpool? or Arsenal? I really haven't found a match.
I don't think any team from the Premier League will be interested in bringing in Mbappe because it is not easy for a coach to handle this player, especially since we also know that Mbappe is not easy to work with other players. It would be different if Mbappe came to Real Madrid because of Ancelotti, Maddrid's coach. has the advantage that he is good at communicating with the players while in the dressing room, as we have seen so far and if Mbappe really joins the Real Madrid team, it will most likely make his career shine again because Madrid is one of the giant Spanish teams.

Inter managed to get a ruthless win against Frosinone, a team with a high relegation potential. We can say that this win will definitely benefit Udinese. Inter are already champions but they might have done Udinese a favor. Frosinone hadn't lost for 6 weeks and this week they suffered a heavy defeat against Inter. Considering that Frosinone will play Udinese in the last week, we can say that they have become very advantageous. I think Udinese will stay in the league.
Yes, Inter's victory over the Frosinone team certainly opened up opportunities for the Udinese team, because the defeat in that match did not add points to the standings for the Frosinone team so there is still a big chance of being chased by the Udinese team. Moreover, currently the Udinese team is still in the relegation zone so they will definitely take advantage of this momentum to get out of the relegation zone and they are aware that they cannot miss this opportunity so they have to get full points when they compete with the Lecce team.

That's right, this match will be exciting, because it will be a match of who will be in the top five at the end of the standings. With Roma, whose performance is not too bad, it could even be said to be good, they will show their best to be able to beat Atalanta. with their match being able to draw against Leverkusen, that's quite good, and I don't think Roma will be easily defeated by Atalanta in the match that will take place.

These two teams have quite good performance, they have a strong enough defense line, of course Atalanta cannot be underestimated, because they also have good performance so they can be in fifth position at the moment, but Roma is a threat to Atalanta who might be able to shift their position if they succeed in beating Atalanta.

Yes, it is true that Atalanta should not underestimate the Roma players because if they make the slightest mistake when facing Roma then of course the Roma players will be ready to take advantage of that mistake to put pressure on the Atalanta team because we know that both teams have almost equal performance and it could be said Both teams will play to the best of their ability in this match in order to win the match.
In this match, both teams really need points so there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw and even if they win it will only be by a narrow score.

I personally have not gained anything from gambling and I also don't really expect anything from gambling because I realize that gambling is just to entertain ourselves in our spare time, so if we hope to achieve something in gambling, we will most likely be willing to spend a lot of money to always place bets, if only we are lucky after spending a lot of money and can get what we hope for, but if that doesn't happen then we will regret losing the money we have because of chasing. something uncertain in gambling.

I dont agree that rich win more in gambling. I think people have such wrong vision, because large bets and wins got stuck in people's memory for a longer time, and people dont notice small wins. People would remember and pay more attention to "a guy won a million with single bet". But they dont pay attention to details. What if that guy bet 999,099 dollars with 1.01 odd. People wont pay attention to a guy won 100 dollars. When his story might be hundred $1 bets won in a row. People remember big numbers only. In reality, they have almost identical win ratio, but their difference is in bet size only.
Yes, that's true because, in gambling, anyone can win, whether rich or poor. But we might agree that rich people can gamble with more money than poor people. We have seen several people who can win a lot of money using one small bet to become rich people in their area. But rich people may be able to win a lot of money because they can bet using more money. However, the opportunity to win will still be open to anyone, whether rich or poor. We can only keep trying to gamble but still have to pay attention to how much money we can use to gamble.
Yes, in gambling anyone has the opportunity to win a bet, but why do many people say that rich people can win more than poor people, even though in fact this does not mean that poor gamblers always lose at gambling, but usually if poor gamblers win, they will use their winnings? to double the bet with the aim of getting an even bigger win so that in the end you have to lose the winnings that have been obtained previously and leave the game empty-handed, so it will appear that poor gamblers cannot win bets in gambling.
