Beyond Wagering

[Slow death]

In my case, I started analyzing all the games I watch even when I didn't place a bet, before I only cared about games in the big leagues, such as the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Portuguese League. but after a few months that I was involved I became interested in the Turkish league, the Dutch league, the Brazilian league and when I watch the games I analyze each player and the coaches' decisions, before I got involved in sports betting I didn't did that. I just limited myself to watching the games and I didn't watch many games and I also don't follow the games often. It's funny that I see that analyzing the games I'm going to watch gives me more pleasure than when I just watched the games

This is because while I watch the game and see that the result of the game is going in the direction of my predictions, it makes me happy and even when it is not going completely in the direction of my predictions, I keep thinking about where I went wrong to correct it, I do it without involving money, just for fun. Also when I started getting involved in sports betting I started following the UFC, this was something I didn't even think about doing before I got involved in betting, but as I saw that football games come at a time when they took vacations, so I I would need to continue my bets, that's why I researched UFC, but today, when the big league games stop, I also stop placing my bets. I've just been following UFC and boxing and tennis without betting.

I would like to know how you have enough free time for this. After I became seriously interested in betting, I began to watch fewer games (at least completely, since spending 2 hours on one game is too wasteful), or to be more precise, I began to watch more games, but in text format and a lot in parallel mode. And I focus more not on sports indicators (although they need to be taken into account) but rather on statistics.

As a movie enjoyer, I'm interested to know what are your most recommended movie/s in this line of category

Here are my top three recommended casino videos which I watched recently and loved them.  A brief synopsis follows.

Rain Man - I counted three casino scenes. In the first one Charlie and Raymond gamble are at a casino called Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The second Charlie is alone in the casino gambling and in the third scene Charlie and Raymond are both back at the casino in Las Vegas.

"21" - An MIT student uses his knowledge of math together with some other student to win a lot of money at casinos in Las Vegas. They were mentored by their professor. One of the reasons for gambling was to get quick money to pay his tuition.

The Last Casino -  In this movie 3 students are recruited by their professor and taught how to count cards so that they can go to the casino, play and win for him because he was banned from the casino after his was caught counting cards.

The truth is that it is a bit difficult to keep up to date with so many sports. I am very aware of European football, that includes La Liga, PL, Bundesliga, Serie A, but it is very difficult to watch them all, sometimes the match times Clash and it is difficult, I still go, but the Portuguese La Liga and other leagues already They don't give me time, with respect to boxing and the UFC it is easier for me to do the analysis because here the important thing is to know the capabilities of the athlete players, this is something that when we are Involved in this we can do well, of course it is something which we will always focus on doing better and doing well, it's really hard to keep up with all the proteins, I couldn't even keep up with baseball, basketball or something, Other than I don't like those sports.

Definitely, watching or listening from the radio more matches, races and other events. Or at least reading news about it, when you bet it's something you can hardly restrain yourself from doing because it interests you and because you think you can do something from those informations in order to place a better valued bet. In addition it's exciting to follow an event when you have bet on it or at least to learn how the event took place.

What are some of the hobbies that you have picked up as a result of your long term gambling but that doesn't involve gambling? If you are an avid gambling who is not addicted that is you have control over your gambling you may have caught yourself unconsciously being attracted to so other activities within the sphere of gambling that doesn't involve wagering. As for me one of such hobbies /pastime is being active in a forum like this where there are gambling enthusiasts. I enjoy joining in the discussions that go on here, I also enjoy sharing tips and reading the experiences of other people with similar interests in gambling.

That means you have enough to read on the forum to warrant it being your hobby to pass the time because if it is writing mostly, you will not spend more than a few times. Well, you have done well to at least find an alternative to addiction, but in my own, I do not have any addiction to fight, there is no trace of it at all so I am not even trying to pretend there is and be looking for an alternative to fight issues. For this, I continue to remain myself and do what I always do in normal life. I gamble when I want to, read books when want to, engage in forums and social media activities when I want to, trade when I want to, cook when I want to, drink when I want to, stay idle and think when I want to, exercise when I want, and sleep when I want to among others.

This is what I could term willpower at work since I have control over whatever I want to do and the place I want to be. The main reason is that I am never desperate for the money to be gained in gambling as I view it as a funfilled avenue that can give money if one is so lucky, so I never take it seriously as such.

I am now drawn into video clips and movies related to gambling stories, and mehn, I have learned a lot, I am thinking that these movies are best kept for myself in case someone close to me either friends or family member can benefit from if they ever get lost or get addicted to gambling.

If so many gamblers lived through the experience of other gamblers they might be able to be very careful when they gamble, when you don't see addicted gamblers sharing their past experience  in gambling people will think that it's working out for most gamblers out there.

The sad fact is, it's not, most gamblers lose their money and only a very limited number of gamblers get lucky for real, the earlier people know this the better it will be if they plan to start gambling, if you haven't watch some I recommend.

Like, Owning Mahoney, High roller, bugsy and much more, they are based on real live events.

Hmmm. I haven't picked up anything gambling related really, I mean if we're talking about hobbies and pastimes that is.

But if we're talking about mannerisms and certain behaviors that we might've unconsciously picked up from gambling, then I got a few, for one, I'm becoming even more versed with shuffling cards in a multitude of ways, so there's that. I also have become more smarter when it comes to managing risks and money, partly I guess from the fact that the discipline I got from gambling which is practically forged in fire by the way, after a very destructive gambling addiction and its rehabilitation. Back in my younger days I am a little on the reckless side, and would most definitely jump on the first sight of opportunity without gauging my options, thinking that would be the last time I'm going to be able to catch that chance or whatever.

These days I find myself weighing my options even in the most trivial things, like perhaps what food to eat for the day, or where to go when I wanna hang out with people and I don't know which house to visit first. For more crucial decisions, of course I see the difference. Thankfully this is because I literally had to work towards gaining that much discipline.
