Re: Football game the best sport to have been invented by man?

Football is a game that involves two teams each team is made up of Eleven players including the goal keeper , even though there are little evidence about this game in ancient times as some suggestion shows that there football may have started long ago when human civilization where taking shape because there is a painting that was found in China called the cuju that shows resemblance to people playing with a football.

But modern football has it root to England as England played a key role in the development of football especially with the rules, I want to say that football is the best sporting game that has been invented because as of today football is the most followed sports with people from all over the world supporting one club.

Let's discuss what is it do you think that football is the best sport?

The best sport for a particular person will depend on what he wants to achieve: improve health, build strength, have fun, or play team games.

Of course, football is popular largely because of its mass appeal and cultural influence, but that doesn't mean it's better than other sports for that reason alone. Every sport has its own characteristics, and the "best" sport for one person may not be the same for another. It all depends on what goals a person sets for themselves, how they like to spend their time, and what results they want to achieve.

Re: How I stopped expecting my luck to work

When gambling you don't have to expect but can only hope you get lucky though you still don't have to rely on the hopes because you could feel disappointed losing all with no single win to boast of for the day.

When we put expectations forward we get tempted to push over our limits and stake with such amounts that will hit badly if we lose it. I idea that you would win huge by staking so much high could definitely lead to a torn pocket.

Gambling will always be gambling. So no matter what formula or strategy you will use, you should not expect anything lucrative out of your gambling activities. Because if you start expecting, you will surely get hook into this addictive activity. And be disappointed for whatever outcome you will get and continue playing if you won't get what you want.
Luck will always play a role in this game, so it means, you always have no assurance that you will hit your target in every game you played.

Gambling is not a lucrative business every gambler should be aware of this so that they do not focus on gambling with everything with the so aim for hitting because cause you may never hit the target and if you keep hoping you may become addicted to gambling but if you see gambling as a game of luck you'd will be more comfortable to try your luck and if you turn out nut to be lucky you accept the outcome and not become so addicted to the game. So not expect to become successful through gambling it will make you to get disappointed because the results you are expecting may not come through the way you want it that's why gamblers are advised to gamble responsibly with the amount they can afford to lose.
Not expecting financial success in gambling is crucial. If people see it as a game of chance — something that can be fun but can’t be relied upon — they’re less likely to develop an unhealthy attachment to it. And as you say, understanding that the outcome may not be as expected helps manage disappointment and avoid the cycle of chasing losses.

Re: What's the max amount you have staked at once?

I don't go above my weekly budget and I don't go also challenge the casino to beat them for any reason because I know the chances of winning is extremely very poor. So, I often gamble with the amount which I think wouldn't be a thing to distract me or spoil my mode for the day or night, that is why I do try as much as possible gamble within my means instead of trying to bet higher or going above my budget that would affects my overall general behavior and performances. Gamble is more fun when you uses an amount that is riskable or that you do not attached so much meaning to.
Sure, staying within the budget and not to chase losses is the key to maintaining the pleasure of experience, not stress.

Re: how do you avoid being stress in gambling?

When gambling stresses you out it's a sign that you are doing it wrong and perhaps it would be better to take a break for a while in order for you to get your mind right. Gambling is a game of entertainment and shouldn't be used as a plan to acquire wealth, one of the reason why people get frustrated with gambling is because they put their hopes into it probably because they think their games are well analyzed or they got a paid prediction, this makes them go all in by staking huge amounts of money hoping to get a significant reward but most times they get disappointed. Gamble responsibly and just do it too have fun.
Taking a break is a really useful tool. Sometimes it’s enough to just stop and give yourself time to breathe and look at the situation realistically. Often, emotional decisions based on frustration or a desire to get even can lead to even more stress and loss.

Betting small amounts is a really important way to reduce stress and avoid big losses, but this approach requires self-discipline and setting clear financial boundaries. It is important not only to determine how much you can spend, but also to strictly adhere to this limit so that you do not end up in a situation where losing affects your financial situation.

I don't agree with the 3rd one. I'm actually doing this. I deposit a small amount not only for fun but also for profit if I am lucky, and if I lose this amount, I stop, then do it again on the next day.

I've heard different statements concerning gambling being for fun and entertainment, if the OP thinks gambling was meant for the rich only does it mean that the rich class are the only ones entitled to that aspect of fun and entertainment? That's what got into my head immediately I read that third line and I disagree with it, cause I've seen where someone used a little amount of money to make huge profit, I know it doesn't occurs on a regular but then that's where luck comes in.
 Gambling is not basically for the rich, any class can partake in it but must do it responsibly, one of the ways involves gambling with spare cash, a rich man's spare cash can be $2k or $20k depending on how wealthy the person is and poor man's could be $2 or $20 either ways, both parties would depend on luck mostly and good gambling skills to won their bets, it's not the amount of money one bet with that determines whether they'll win or not.
 
Yes, rich people can afford to gamble with large sums, but this does not mean that their gambling is more justified or "correct". Like anyone else, they can experience good or bad luck. The problem is that for people with limited funds, losing even a small amount can lead to serious financial consequences, so it is important to realize that bets should only be made with free money that a person can afford to lose.

To achieve this, gambling must not only be an exciting pastime, but also part of a healthy approach to entertainment, where control, self-awareness and the desire to enjoy the process, rather than just setting the goal of winning, are important.

The reality is that in gambling, the odds are often not on your side, and unless you have exceptional skill, strategy, or luck, the expected return is almost always negative over time. For most people, it is more likely to lose money than to consistently make money.

Re: Balancing our Personal Believes, Religion and Gambling

From an ethical standpoint, it seems to me that accepting money from gambling, even for the purpose of furthering a religion, raises questions about moral responsibility. The problem is not the money, but the source of the money. If we accept funds from a practice that can destroy people's lives, we may be complicit in that destruction, albeit at the level of good intentions.
Winning is not really a matter of money but it is a matter of where the money comes from, some people who have a religion that opposes gambling may reject money given from gambling sources but this is a case that often occurs in my country they say that those who reject money from gambling are too hypocritical, actually in my opinion if you win and don't want to accept it, it's better to talk about it properly so that there is no conflict.

The good intention of giving money from gambling will be a problem in my opinion, therefore we should just use it ourselves for our needs, after all we have to gamble using our own money.
If gambling is inherently harmful, should the act of engaging in it, even for personal gain, also be questioned? Is there a balance between personal freedom and the harmful effects of gambling?

Just a short story I will like to tell before the main discussion, I was opportuned to listen on a telephone conversation between a man and a Clergy, what he ask was that if it is right for someone to gamble and won a jackpot, then bring a percentage of the winning to the Clergy, will he accept such as a sacrifice for the growth and developments of the religion? Knowing that the money was gotten from gambling fortune, the Clergy accepted the money but condem gambling.

Secondly, some of us have been arguing on this before time, but I want us to go wide on this discussion using different approaches over it, which may includes the religious, political, economical and social believes to why Clergy men should gamble or not, lets sight examples where necessary, prove our point and learn from each other's opinion.

Be informed that this is a general discussion, not a threat to take attacks on each other, drop your own perspective and state some reasons to back them up, let's make it more of being fun and informative with our actual facts.

Re: Suggesting a feature for casinos
by
AGULIS
on 17/02/2025, 05:56:13 UTC
I am suggesting that casinos introduce an automatic cashout acceptance system which will allow gamblers to automatically accept cashout offer of as from 2x 3x up (depending on what the gambler set) even when the gambler is not online to do that manually..

Why am I suggesting this?
Few days ago, myself and a friend placed a bet on the same match which we believe we play out in our favor, I myself was very busy during the day and couldn't monitor my bet, my friend called me up but I wasn't with my mobile phone at the time to answer his calls.

Later on the same day, when I got to my phone hours later, I went online to check scores and discovered I lost the bet, seeing missed calls from my friend, I decide to call him back, he picked and asked if I accepted the cashout offer, I told him I was online and that I lost the bet, he blamed me for not taking his calls, telling me there was a cashout offer of about 3x our bet amount available at the time he was calling me, that if I had taken the offer like he did, I would have walked away with profit and not loose my money like I did..

This was how this idea came about, thinking if casinos will make such a feature available like it is with trading where a trader can set a take-profit at a target price, and once the market price reaches that level, the take-profit is executed even if the trader is not online at the time - casinos can introduce a similar feature with cashout where the gambler willing to accept a cashout offer can set/tell the system to automatically accept a cashout offer of 2x, 3x, 4x 5x up to 10x or more when ever it's available, and depending on the cashout X-amount the gambler chooses, once such x-amount is available as a cashout offer, the system will automatically execute it for gambler whether he is online or not.

I don't know if such feature is available on any casino, haven't seen such anywhere, and I am eager to know what you guys think about such a feature, and feel free to use this thread to suggest other features you did like to see in our online casinos.
The idea of ​​automatic withdrawals may raise questions about how interested casinos are in providing such features and how this affects their business model. Indeed, casinos want to have as much control over the process as possible and optimize profits, and providing too many flexible tools for players may be a risk to their financial interests. Perhaps your idea may be more relevant for traders or investment platforms, where automated asset or position management is a common practice. In the case of casinos, where excitement and human intervention are important to the gaming process, introducing such features may be less acceptable than in other areas.

Re: sports you do not enjoy

i am a sports fan before i am a gambler i watch sports and i bet on my predictions to amplify the entertainment and enjoyment i get from that sports i could not bet while watching a sport but it is always much more fun to look forward to the results knowing especially that you might win in the end so if your favorite team wins you are happy as a fan but you can be happier if you also win some money from betting on them

this leads me to thinking whether do people bet on sports they do not enjoy or are not a fan of? maybe there are people out there who are just really in for the money and they would bet on sports that are popular and they have a bigger chance on winning at even if they do not particularly enjoy them

personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them

what about you?
I wouldn't be able to bet on sports that I'm not interested in. It's probably important to feel connected to the sport, otherwise analyzing and waiting for the result seems like an empty process. It's not just about money, it's also about enjoying the event

Re: Would you rather take it slow, or just aim for a huge parlay win?

In sports betting, both options are void. High winnings with low stakes is a very difficult prospect and it is not possible to play regularly and win every time. If your goal is to win big money with small stakes, you can go to a local casino and put your money on the line. If luck is on your side, you can hit big money with a small amount. In my opinion, the most important thing when betting is to know where to stop. You should never bet with the hope of winning big money. Remember, if you make betting your livelihood, you will learn the bitter truth about losing.
You can't say people should never gamble with the hope of wining big money, and you know that is what motivates people to gamble more .  %99 of people that gambles does it for the sake of wining big amount either from small bet with high odd or big stake with smallodd. If people don't have the mentality to gamble for the goodie bags then what is the esscens of gambling? I know that even though big win is not possible but that does not mean that people should not hope for aim to win big.

I agree with you that making gambling a source of lively hood may result to learning the bitter Truth about losing that's why we shouldn't take it as a business atol, rather a thing to try luck.
You are right that most people who gamble do so with the hope of winning big - this is certainly the main motivation for many. Gambling itself is about seeking risk, the desire for unpredictability and the chance to hit the jackpot. This is the element of the game that attracts millions of people around the world. In this sense, of course, it is impossible to completely rule out the idea of ​​the possibility of "winning big". After all, it is the hope of success and the search for luck that makes gambling so attractive to many.

Match fixing happens everywhere but it is only easier to detect in the smaller leagues


Various sports are guilty of this as well. In my opinion, individual competitions for instance horse racing and boxing are more vulnerable to such  manipulation compared to team sports. In the case of under table agreements the latter  would  demands silence and secrecy from every player involved into such corrupted  matches. Regarding the smaller leagues, agreed, here this phenomena is much easier to detect compared to high leagues.


Match-fixing in team sports is often carried out by senior team members or coaches without the players' involvement. It can be more difficult to detect because players are less likely to notice such manipulations within their own team.

There are some ways to earn money without paicing bets and I would like to talk about some of them.

First and the main one is the affiliate/referal programas, this way by sharing your affiliate link you will get some incom from the users bets, isn't easy to get good affiliate (users who bet a lot) but with one high roller you could make a descent amount.


It is important to keep in mind that these programs may have their own limitations and requirements, and do not always guarantee a stable income without the risks associated with the casino bets themselves.

It's crucial to bet on sports you enjoy and understand. Without that, you might end up just chasing losses or making random guesses, which often leads to losing money.

what if the person don't watch it but look at the data and bet based on statistics?
we can't be sure but maybe there's a way to find a profitable possibility over the long run doing that
even if you don't like or watch the games
what do you think?
Sure, relying on stats means understanding what data matters most for predicting outcomes. It's less about emotions and more about staying disciplined and avoiding spur-of-the-moment bets.

It is difficult to say for sure whether the situation with fixed games in sports has improved compared to the past. On the one hand, modern technologies and increased monitoring allow us to identify more cases of fraud and take action. On the other hand, the development of the Internet and mobile technologies makes betting accessible and anonymous, which can contribute to the growth of fixed games.
