Re: Have your ever blame youself?

For me? Yeah, I blame myself a lot too, maybe even too much.

But I’d love to hear your story. I’m sure you’ve also been hard on yourself, not just after losses but even after wins.
Can you share a specific moment you’ll never forget? One where you held yourself fully accountable, regretted it deeply, and promised, ‘Never again’?

I could remember my first time of being into this gambling system everything was new to me, and I was actually thinking that one can possibly make gambling his source of income. Not until I experience a big lose in gamble then that's when I realize that gambling can never be used as a means of getting money and I regretted so deeply for having such intention towards gambling, but I have learned from my past mistake and i promised myself that such thing will not repeat itself again.
You're correct , gambling can't be anyone source of income, because you can't achieve any tangible thing from it rather it will take your money and health. If you are into gambling just do it with a mindset of trying a luck and not to gain much. If you take gambling as fun or lucky game you won't regret losing a bet,  I once stopped gambling and I started again last year after many years of not playing gambling and I keep losing money, right now I'm regreting why start to gamble again. I wish I can stop again but at time I win and I use it to pay bills.

If you have  been in the system for Long is always very hard to stop it, just as you're finding it very difficult to stop it now. More especially when you experience win in gamble and you were wise enough to use it to pay your bills, you know if it is most gamblers they will want to continue gambling without thinking of using the profit to sort their self out. But my advice for you is that don't allow the wining experience to stop you from take any decision which you know is the right one to make.

Re: Rise in gambling activities bad economy or addiction

Kristiyana
on 13/04/2025, 11:55:24 UTC


So regarding the OP's question about the reason for the rise in gambling, the answer is the bad economy that we all facing and live in. If people had their basic needs covered, then this rise wouldn't exist.

Of course, and is obvious that the bad economy we are facing now is the reason why the rate of gamblers keep increasing day by day, because those folks who are not unfortunate to have something doing like job or skill will want to prioritize gambling using it as thier source of income, of course majority of the citizens here who don't have a source of income have decided to dive into gambling. Just to see if they can succeed through that means, but for the fact that we don't have job does not mean that we don't have any other alternative. There are a lot of skills out there which we can learn within a space of 1 to 2 years and then use it as our source of income instead of wasting our time to gamble hoping to make a source of income from it.

With a 6 point advantage I think it is still not safe for Munich because Leverkusen still has a chance to overtake. But it seems like it will be a difficult mission Leverkusen this season is not the same as Leverkusen from the previous season.

Of course 6point is not that much for team like leverkusen to cover, but with thier performance this season I don't think if that will be possible because bayern munich is very consistent with thier performance this season, so for the fact that they draw thier previous match does not mean that they have reduced from their form. We should know how football works most times if a team have been wining for sometime, some day they might likely end up with a score of draw or even lose against thier opponent. But that does not mean that they won't win thier next match.

That's basically what counts in football especially when you are fighting head to head with other teams for the title. Barcelona currently are a very free flowing side with them being able to score as easy as possible and them struggling yesterday just shows how the leganes defense was really tight because Barcelona is one of the team currently you will play that definitely hard to defend against them.

Sure, thier defense line was very tight which is why barcelona was finding it very hard to score. And if not for the fact that barcelona is tactical definitely they would've ended with goalless draw, but all thanks to de jong. You know at this point I think they have now secured the la liga title because the point gap between them and real madrid is a little bit far, and I think they will now make use of this opportunity by not allowing real madrid to come close to them.

I have made some findings about this before if I remember correctly. There are people that have sued gambling sites before but the result has always been the gambling site winning the lawsuit. So just know that if anyone sue any reputed gambling site, the gambling site may win the case.

Secondly before a gambler will think of to sue any gambling site first you need to make sure that you have all the right, I mean the fault is not coming from your own side. Because most gamblers can just decide to sue a gambling site when he don't even have the right, and sometimes it can be that the fault is from the side of the gambler at this point they will be left with no evidence. Which is why the gambling site always win .

This path is actually tedious and time-consuming. And you have no assurance if you will indeed get the results that you want. Besides, ask yourself if you are ready to shell out money from your pocket? Expect a long battle from this because the decision won't come fast. This is why most gamblers will only end up ranting over social media or their thread, as going to the path of suing is not worth your time, money and other resources.

You're right a gambler is not meant to go to the path of suing the gambling site, because this can make you lose a huge amount of money sometimes the money you will spend in that process can be x10 the profit which you make in that gambling site that made you to think of going to the path of suing them, and of course the gambling site can be willing to afford whatever it takes just to make sure that they win the case, while you that happens to be the gambler will be finding it difficult to afford whatever it takes. This is why we shouldn't even think of suing a gambling site.

Few match ended unexpectedly, maybe we would see more unexpected results on the remaining match? like West Ham and Manchester United won. Cheesy

We should know that everton and brentford have been a threat for those superior teams which is why they don't defeat them so easily, so for the fact that arsenal was unable to defeat this two teams does not mean that they're incompetent. Of course this two teams have been very consistent with thier performance lately which is why I wasn't surprise to see the scores, and this thier upcoming matches is still going to be a little bit tough for arsenal. Though they might likely win 1 of this matches.

Fully supported and I believe he should keep him on the bench more atleast he would know that he needs to adjust his gameplay to suit the situation of the team, if am not mistaken the number of times Manchester united have fell short of supposed victory that would have gotten and then later drew or lost the is more of the fault of Onana and just countless errors in his goal post.
It happened repeatedly because the mistakes he made cost the team full points in the match and if you look at Onana who always makes mistakes, it is only right that the number two goalkeeper is given a chance to play. The coach did nothing and trusted Onana more as a goalkeeper even though we know many mistakes he made.

Luckily Manchester United did not lose in that match, but what is quite regrettable is how the second goal was scored by Lyon in the added time so that Manchester United failed to maintain the victory.

Onana is just like a Rat in a lion clothing and so you will be thinking he would do great not knowing it is just fake and the Rat ability inside him has unveiled itself, I think he needs to be benched to some extent so that he will learn and correct his mistake if at all he would learn, all the time Manchester united second goalkeeper keep for Manchester united there was nothing like mistake as a matter of fact he saved a lot and even to the extent of saving penalties, a chance needs to be given to that young man to show and prove himself.

Sure, I think bayindir is way more better than Onana because this young man did absolutely well in thier previous matches that the coach started with him. But I still wonder why the Coach always choose Onana over him, meanwhile he have been giving almost all the players a chance to play in all matches. But I don't know why bayindir case is different, if Onana is not doing well he should also try the side of bayindir so that he can be able to find who's the best goalkeeper among them.

Re: Random vs Lucky numbers

on 13/04/2025, 10:12:46 UTC
I'm opening this thread because I am curious about what the general trend is among the forum members regarding this topic: if you have to choose, do you prefer to pick some random numbers, even using a random number generator, or you prefer to select your "lucky" ones?
I have some favorite numbers. There are times that I will select one of them and I will be wrong. Also there are times that I will not select any among them and I wioild have been right if I selected the favorite number that came my mind. But I have noticed all is based on luck and nothing more. Just know that if you win, it is not about how you selected the number but just that you are lucky.

You're right, is just like when you're gambling first of all you will have to make analysis before making a selection and those analysis can even fail us if we are not lucky. But when you talk about favorite number, this are the numbers you choose to be your favorite and of which it will not be the same with other people's favorite number, and if you apply the number and it works it means that you're just so lucky to win. Because sometimes you might decide to try it some other time and it works the other way round.

Re: Not gambling could also be a financial mistake.
by
Kristiyana
on 13/04/2025, 10:02:20 UTC
There are people who are hasty in criticizing people losing money to gambling, stating it to be a big financial mistake. Gambling could be a financial mistake, but that will be only when you are gambling irresponsibly. Gamblers who are gambling responsibly and not intentionally gambling for money making can still make money in the process, a life changing amount in some few cases.
People who are on the side of criticism, and using their money for other purposes, still fun but no potential of them to make money from it could be said to be the ones making the financial mistake. What do you think?
I think that gambling should not be considered as a means of earning money because gambling is a part of entertainment. Gambling can be started for entertainment. If a person participates in gambling to earn money and if he loses repeatedly, his gambling can create great danger in his life and his life can also be destroyed. Therefore, gambling should not be seen as a means of earning money, gambling should be seen as entertainment and accepted as entertainment. Moreover, I would say that it is better to use a very limited amount of money in gambling so that the money is only for entertainment and not for earning money and so that even if you lose, you do not have any regrets.

Anyone who is considering gambling as a means of making Money is getting it wrong because there's nothing you can do that will prevent you from losing your money to gamble. So this is why we shouldn't go with the intention of making Money through gamble, because is obvious that gambling is also part of those activities in which one can have fun and as well get entertain when doing it, even if profit will come but we should first of all go with the intention of having fun.

I think it will be a match week where all three teams will win. Of course, Real Madrid will have a very difficult match because they have to rest their players for the Arsenal match. If they do not rest their players, they will not be able to find that little hope in the Arsenal match. If they do not take the field with their main squad, there is also the risk of losing points. Of course, Real has a very good squad, but small teams can always be challenging.
With a gap of 7 points if Barcelona wins until the last minute against Leganes, then the Real Madrid players who will be trusted by Ancelotti to play against Deportivo Alaves must work hard so that the gap with Barcelona does not become 7 points.

We cannot deny that Real Madrid's current situation requires extra energy in pursuing trophies at the end of the season. After the match against Deportivo Alaves, Real Madrid must welcome the arrival of Arsenal. Against Alaves, of course, you have to be careful not to get injured.
Furthermore, Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final. The time gap is quite close. Stamina is clearly drained.

Yes Barcelona is leading with a goal though I expected more than a goal from Barcelona before this time because the champions league own is already settled I mean they are  already at the semifinals because Dortmund can not defeat them 4 or 5 zero no matter how they tried if at all they will even win Barcelona, Barcelona should hold on to that one zero or better still add more 1 or 2 as a security goal. Real Madrid will be drive to win tomorrow if Barcelona win this match no matter the odd but Real Madrid state is not good.

Obviously i was expecting more than 1 goal from them, but well the score wasn't that bad at all. Moreover, barcelona even tried to defeat them because legenes is always a threat in the la liga lately. Is obvious that they are trying to escape from the relegation zone this season, but I think is very late for them to do that because they only have few matches left. You know had it mean they started it from the early stage, I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't have been in the relegation zone. But instead they were very lazy back then.

That is one of the things that causes depression, emagine using money that was meant for another thing important for gambling and loss it in that process. Of course such person will not be happy.


I think you're very correct about that, and of course losing the money that is meant for important stuffs to gamble is not always that easy for one to sake it out of his head. Though the very first time that the temptation will come you will still find it very hard to figure out that you're being tempted, not until when you finally fall for the temptation that's when you will still realize that you are being tempted in the first place.

Yeah, is good to make analysis by ourselves instead of depending on other people's analysis/prediction because those thier analysis/prediction can make one lose interest in bitcoin investment. Just as Op said about Bloomberg analyst, and if you're this set of investors who are very naive definitely you will just get mislead, and you won't even trust bitcoin anymore. I think this was the reason why most investors are always scared to HODL thier bitcoin in the long run.

Re: Why it is sometimes possible to take out a bank loan to buy BTC
by
Kristiyana
on 12/04/2025, 22:07:56 UTC
I remember this thread in 2017 in the French part.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2425439.0

At the time OP wanted to borrow to buy BTC. As we know today, he would have made a great deal (plus, a rare thing at the time, his banker was OK to lend him the money).

Yet almost everyone advised him against it. Why was that?

It seems to me that all investments involve risk. What makes borrowing to invest in BTC any more risky than investing in a start-up, opening a business or buying a house (which may be full of defects, for example)? If the person's financial situation is stable and the banker, after studying the file in depth, is OK, I don't see why you can't borrow money to buy BTC. In fact, this is what some large companies do.

If it is the company that is taken the loan I don't  think if there's anything wrong with that, because we are 100% sure that they will pay back the money in due time. Though sometimes a company can decide to take loan from bank or even from thier fellow companies, when they must have run out with cash/funds. However, is obvious that bitcoin is a very good asset in the future but anyone who can not afford to invest in bitcoin should not go for a loan. Because the market is decentralized Which means that no one have control over it, so if there's any dip or increase in the price there's nothing you can do than to panick.

Since, Bitcoin is risky, no one should be forced to invest in risky sectors. However, Bitcoin has good prospects in the future, so it is not a bad decision to give an idea about Bitcoin to those who are not aware of Bitcoin. Now if you force someone to invest, he will blame you if he suffers a loss in the investment. You should, give them idea about DCA, talk about investing long term, give idea about good wallet, you tell them about risk. I gave some of my friends ideas about Bitcoin, but never asked anyone to invest, they decided to invest on their own. Some of my friends plan to hold for 8-10 years. But I never forced any of my friends to invest, they invested on their own risk.

Yeah, I think that's the best way to go about it, after giving them the knowledge about bitcoin investment and also the method they can use to accumulate and also letting them know about the risk that is involve in bitcoin investment. of course after given them this information then you need to give them some space to think and also make plans on how they can be able to carry out a good investment plan, you don't need to be the one to make those plan for them. Because if you do and it happens to be that the outcome didn't work as planned, at this point you will face the consequences alone. This is the reason why we need to avoid forcing someone to invest in bitcoin.

Fiorentina has the quality it takes to be in the finals and win this league despite that they are not seen to be the favorite. They have the experience and have played the finals twice. It means that if they get to the final this season, they should be able to win the trophy. Chelsea is the favorite but I don't know if they'll be able to defeat Fiorentina if they clash.

Yeah, actually I think fiorentina can likely win the conference league title this season. But is obvious that majority will consider chelsea being the favorite team to win this title, you know with thier previous performance I don't see any possibility in that Because chelsea is not in thier best form. We saw how they were struggling in thier previous matches, and of which that's not how it used to be before, When they were in a very good form. while real betis in the other side have been consistent in their domestic league, both in the conference league.

The second leg will be more exciting than the first leg, Real Madrid who acts as the host will do everything they can to make a comeback, while Arsenal chooses to play it safe because they want to maintain their victory in the first leg. Ancelotti will try to rotate his La Liga game against Alaves to keep his players fit, but he must also remain focused on maintaining the gap on Barcelona. Madrid are clearly under pressure after losing the first leg and are four points behind Barcelona.

Too many talks of Real Madrid squad doing a come back at the Bernabeu, but believe me, I don't see it, I don't feel it, we all know Real Madrid have been awful and terrible this season though they still try to patch up themselves and fill up them potholes. Arsenal will definitely not go to the Bernabeu and defend,  that will be treachery. I'm counting on Mikel Arteta and his boys to wrap it up completely..

Yeah, that's true alot of people have been talking about real madrid making a coming back. Though I think they did that to juventus some seasons ago I guess, but that does not give any guarantee that they will do the same to arsenal. Honestly I don't even see any possibility in that, because looking at arsenal performance in the first leg I think arsenal is ready to competite for the champions league title. I think the bookmakers is also thinking that real madrid can make a comeback which is why they gave them lesser odd while arsenal was given a higher odd, but the truth is that odd does not matters most time.

Arsenal are doing great in the Champions League and so-so in the Premier League. I think they have prioritised the UCL

I don't know if these guys can get the job done, talking about Arsenal who haven't taken that chance of locking this point gap between them and the Reds and even topping the league table. For now we have 11pts that's separating those two teams but can Arsenal start gathering point whenever Liverpool lose or draw a game because that is the only chance they have and winning is a must, like Arteta need to urge the boys to use that same energy they are using in the champions league and apply it to every remaining game they play in the EPL, that would make them see a better picture of becoming champions and also chasing what some players in the past could not get and that's the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE.
Even though Arsenal applies the same energy they are using to play in the UEFA Champions League to their remaining matches in the Premier League, they still won't be able to close in with Liverpool in the Premier League table because Liverpool can't drop the points that will allow Arsenal to overtake them in the Premier League table and win the Premier League title. Arsenal should leave chasing Liverpool for the Premier League title because they have already lost the battle; they should focus on the UEFA Champions League so that they can knock out Real Madrid and be close to winning the UEFA Champions League trophy.

We shouldn't be talking about arsenal wining the premier league title this season because I don't even see any possibility in that, for the fact that liverpool lose against Fulham in thier previous match does not mean that they will continue losing. We should know that losing is very certain so far as football is concern, so don't be surprise to see them wining thier upcoming match. And I know too well that they will struggle so hard to win thier upcoming match, so as to secure thier position with enough point.

Re: What are your weakness in gambling and how do you overcome them
by
Kristiyana
on 12/04/2025, 15:18:12 UTC

Weakness in gambling are easily tackle but when it can't be it shows that one has gone overboard and such persons has allowed their weekness to overshadow and control everything about them. But  the only challenge I think have got while gambling is difficulty in winning in most cases and I don't use that to get myself worked up cause I know there are tides and season though there are some level of winnings for some gamblers that are sure with their strategies but in most cases you'll record more losses than wins this is why become depressed in gambling.

I agree with you, and I feel the same. It is quite hard to watch someone else achieve more success, especially when our games are not as successful as others. In such not-so-successful moments, every time there is a desire to play despite the results until the end, it takes strength to control our emotions, to watch our deposits melt from game to game, and not to give in to depression or not to quit the game at all.

that's the feeling, you know is not that easy to shake it out of our head more especially those set of gamblers who have been gambling for some years now. And of course seeing other gamblers out there who have been profiting from gambling will make one not to think of giving it a break for sometime, because you will be thinking that this time you're wasting can actually bring a profit, if the time is being spent in gambling. Of course most gamblers always feel this way, but they don't know that they're just being tempted.
