Re: Excitement in gambling and How to Control Yourself ?

There will never be comfort in life when you lose, but if we see the game as a service, things change, and in every service you must spend money If we start with that logic, it works, because not only do we open the door to controlling money , but we can accept that we can win It is known that the safest thing is to lose, but if we win, everything changes.
Of course, logically I agree with you. In fact, the average gambler doesn't view gambling as a service, but rather as a way to multiply their money and gamble their fortunes. I disagree with the wrong approach to gambling, nor with those who underestimate the risk of losing and gamble greedily. Losing is very annoying, it is bad for a hope, but losing is a part of the game that can be experienced at any time by gamblers.

Re: The Feeling of Paying a Food Bill with Bitcoin

I've not paid for food using Bitcoin but I've used it to pay for my antivirus and VPN subscriptions and it didn't just feel good but it was a lifesaver. At that time, there was a ban on the use of debit card for international transactions in my country and the other alternatives were not favorable because of the high fees. So I resorted to Bitcoin and since then I've been using it. Although, the ban has been lifted but I don't think I would like to use fiat again for these purpose.
If your bitcoin is a long-term investment, it's not a good idea to spend some of it on food or anything else. Like you, I don't spend bitcoin for food or anything else, but that's also because my country's regulations prohibit it. Real-world use cases for bitcoin as a currency are prohibited in my country, but I personally prefer to spend stablecoins or altcoin on things when necessary.

I don't know what it would be like to spend a few sat for food, cigarettes or anything else, so far I don't plan to do that right now. Bitcoin is an investment asset for me and I tend to accumulate it rather than spend it on consumptive goods or anything else. But if I want, then I can also spend it anytime.

People need to have an awareness like you so that they don't always have to lose money on gambling because their goal is to get more money and hope for the jackpot.
Every gambler is naturally conscious and has a plan, but most gamblers are highly inconsistent. Their plans and playing styles change when they experience a losing streak and the urge to take bigger risks arises, leading them to lose control. If all gamblers were truly able to control themselves, then I believe casino cash flow would tend to outflow more than inflow.

It needs to have boundaries so that there is a wall that they can't go through and that will secure money and mentality, so that there are not too many losses that occur.
People who are too greedy with the aim of earning more money without limits will only end up miserable.

It is better to gamble for entertainment by having restrictions that should not be crossed and management needs to be done correctly so as not to become an addict.
I agree with you, taufik123. Having limits protects against all the negative impacts of gambling. Large losses can be avoided when a gambler sets limits, not only on money but also on the length of time spent playing. But unfortunately, this is easier said than done.

Re: Bitcoin unable to fall below $107000

Five days ago, bitcoin was unable to fall below $107430. Four days ago, bitcoin did not fall below $107300. Two days ago, bitcoin support stayed at $107200.

Now it is showing like bitcoin price may increase and not fall less than $107000. What do yu think about this? Will bitcoin price increase or not?

Bitcoin price right now is $110400.
Bitcoin can lose thousands of dollars in a day and vice versa when its price rises. I can't be sure how long $107,000 will remain a strong support level, but if Bitcoin manages to break through its current key resistance, the strong support level will shift to higher than $107,000. Currently, $107k can be considered a strong support level amidst the uncertainty of the price movement direction, but anyone can be optimistic about the upward movement especially if they find important indicators both technically and fundamentally.

Honestly, I'm hoping for Bitcoin to rise this month and hit a new all-time high. However, Bitcoin can move in any direction, so there's no certainty even though there appears to be a small increase on the daily chart. Important resistance on the daily chart is at $113k and $117k. If this resistance is broken, a larger price movement can be expected.

Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

The 3-6 scoreline for Toulouse versus PSG was a significant one, indicating a very weak opponent. PSG are now top of the Ligue 1 table, having only played three matches so far this season. This Ligue 1 will likely continue like this until the end of the season, as no other team can break PSG's dominance from start to finish. Some matches may not be as exciting to watch, as the winner of this season's league is already clear, even after just three matches.
PSG may be unbeaten in 3 straight games at the start of the season, but who can guarantee they will stay that way until the end of this season?
There will be teams that will make PSG drop points throughout the season, regardless of whether they win or draw. It's hard to believe PSG could win every game without losing or drawing, but I admit PSG has still dominated Ligue 1 so far this season.

Last season, PSG recorded 6 draws and 2 losses in 34 Ligue 1 matches, so don't say that no team can stop their progress even though PSG still leads the standings. PSG is certainly the best team in Ligue 1, but several other teams can also be expected to pose tough challenges for PSG this season. Lyon, Lille, and Monaco are the three teams I'm referring to, but PSG can still lose to teams from the bottom or mid-table.

The motivation most people get could  e as a result of a friend of theirs who has been hitting the jackpot  for a while now and all he tells them is, i jusy made it huge win and the  the next week same thing again. That would definitely  make them curious to how easy this person manages to pull such a huge win within a short time frame unknow to them that the part they heard off is just a fraction of what that other person has gone through or should I say an edited version of the entire story. Because  of that they never failed to doubt for once that they can also pull off same win. And majority of the time our first trial is always the lucky one so that gives them more conviction that gamble is the right part to follow
Starting from curiosity to addiction, that's the story of the average gambler in my opinion.
You're right about one thing, the influence of friends or social circles can backfire if not handled wisely. Gambling isn't a safe activity, of course due to the risks, but there's a thrill to be had and many people find it challenging. Many of them get caught up in the illusion of a big win, they try to get it, but then they find it hard to get back to normal.

I know gambling is fun and challenging, but if a gambler does it irresponsibly, they're bound to face big problems. Today I met an old friend who, as far as I know he is a gambling addict. He came to me and asked for a loan to pay off another loan. That was clearly bad for me and he was truly experiencing negative consequences from his gambling.

Re: Bitcoin is more preferable when it comes to others coins scheme

Bitcoin as a matter of fact stands in a world of its own and there’s no other cryptocurrency that can be compared to bitcoin in so many categories for example in terms of value, bitcoin have proven over the years to be the most valuable assets in the world, and in terms of stability and security and also the test of time, bitcoin have always dominated and still stands tall among others. So many other shitcoins have come and diminished but bitcoin remains. As a matter of fact, most of these coins depends on bitcoin for its performance.
Altcoin are competitors to bitcoin, but bitcoin is unbeatable in terms of market dominance and investor confidence. Some altcoin are considered superior to bitcoin in terms of transaction fee and speed, but these aren't weaknesses that would replace bitcoin with another.

All altcoin have their own advantages, but developers have failed to establish strong competitors in the market. Coins with real use cases will certainly be sought after and adopted, but not everyone is interested in owning them. Bitcoin is currently the most dominant coin and may become so in the future, but it could also lose its dominance in use cases when transction fees become exspensive.

Matchday 3 has concluded and we already know that Liverpool is the only team to have won three consecutive matches. Liverpool secured a total of 9 points against Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Arsenal and that's a great start for the reigning champions. Manchester City and Arsenal lost, while Chelsea and Manchester United both won, as did Tottenham.

Week 4 is certainly no less interesting and I think the Manchester derby is one of them. It might not be the most exciting match of the bunch, but derbies are usually a different kind of match. There's prestige between the two teams and of course, I'm really looking forward to Manchester City's comeback after their 2 consecutive defeats to Tottenham and Brighton.

Barcelona is not playing badly. But, Rayo Vallecano players are playing just great. The players are very confident. Although the opponent is strong, the Vallecano players do not care about Barcelona. Vallecano scored their second goal in the 85th minute of the match. However, the goal was disallowed due to offside. Barcelona is undoubtedly very lucky. In the 88th minute, the match is still 1-1. However, both are trying to win. So it is not yet possible to say what the result of the match will be. Because in the previous match, we saw that Barcelona scored after 90 minutes and won against Levante. Even in the first match, Barcelona scored a goal after 90 minutes. So I am waiting to see another goal.
Matches between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona are always interesting for me, especially because we truly see the natural tension between the two teams. Rayo are strong in defense and often trouble Barcelona's attackers. They are also very quick on the counter-attack, often leading to comebacks. Barcelona struggled in the second half with Rayo Vallecano's defensive tactics and quick counterattack, but fortunately, Barcelona only managed a draw instead of a loss.

Rayo Vallecano almost snatched a home win had several goals not been disallowed for offside, but it was tactics that saved Barcelona today's defeat alongside Joan García's excellent performance as a goalkeeper and the performance of his defenders.

Barcelona managed to end the first half with a 0-1 lead after Lamine Yamal converted a penalty, but the second half proved to be a difficult one. The players struggled to penetrate Rayo Vallecano's defense throughout the second half, preventing Barcelona from maintaining their lead. Several mistakes allowed Rayo Vallecano to come back and equalize, so things were a bit more complicated for Barcelona.

Barcelona struggled to withstand the rapid pressure from Rayo Vallecano's attacks from all sides. This is clearly a problem Hansi Flick must address before the end of the match. Barcelona seemed to struggle to outwit the opposing defense and tended to give the ball away easily, but there's still room for improvement.

Re: Does sign campaign payments directly to the casino make you to gamble?

Sure, I use my signature payment to gamble. When else can we double our weekly paycheck for a small profit? But I don't use it all at once, just 50%, and I always use it for sports betting to enjoy the thrill of football betting and try my luck. And sometimes I use it to bet on poker to make a small profit.
It's okay to gamble when you have a balance in your casino account from your signature campaign payout, but you shouldn't forget the risk of losing when your motivation is to double it. A loss can result in a partial or complete loss of your balance, but if you're really lucky, you could double it. My motivation is not about doubling my balance, but to have fun and this keeps me in control.

Anyone can give you advice, but not all advice is worth taking and you shouldn't always worry about it. As a gambler, you naturally know what to do, whether during or pra the match. You bet based on your analysis and believe in a profitable result, of course, you need to stick to that your choice regardless of what others say. Other people's advice shouldn't influence your gambling decisions, but you just need to remember that there is always a risk. Take the risk and bet responsibly.

With the way Real madrid is playing right now with Mallorca is difficult to be under 3, there was more attempts that could have been 2 now on this first half, Real madrid could be scoring more than 2 goals because is only 23 minutes now and beside Mallorca has an oversized defense because the goal they conceived was out of there inexperience because they should have seen the running of Mbappe to no what they were targeting but the goal was cancelled. Edith, fortunately for Mallorca they have now  scored, so actually real Madrid is on the fighting side of equalizing.
Before halftime, Real Madrid managed to turn the game around and take the lead over their visitors, Mallorca. Real Madrid ended the first half with a 2-1 lead, a game that paid off, as they dominated the match. Arda and Vinicius Jr. scored the two goals, while there were no goals in the second half, although Real Madrid could have scored more.

On the other hand, Mallorca can't be underestimated in this match. Their defense improves when they take the lead and Real Madrid shouldn't give them that chance. There's a chance Mallorca will score a second goal, but if Real Madrid score another goal, it's a much easier three-point victory.

Addiction starts slowly and takes time to eat you up. The moment you notice that you are gambling too much, you need to stop and go on a break to neutralize your thoughts and urge on gambling.
Taking a break and refreshing yourself may sound easy, but it's actually incredibly difficult. I've challenged myself to stop thinking about gambling when my gambling intensity is high, but I have to say it's incredibly difficult to control. There's always an inner urge to try and try, regardless of whether I win or lose more.

It's only people that see it as a way to escape out of poverty that wouldn't care if they are gambling too much. Rather, they see it as an opportunity to increase their chances to make profit. These set of people will continue chasing their losses despite the fact that they are addicted.

You have loved ones and you should consider them whenever you want to gamble in order to gamble responsible and live healthy with our family. Hitting it big in gambling is real but difficult to achieve.
You know, there will come a time when someone will choose to turn back and stop gambling, even though they may have already lost a lot of money. They won't mind it as long as their gambling is for fun, that means they're a responsible gambler. Many people say they want to quit, but in reality, they just can't get over it.

buddy Manchester united need to improve the more and not just a little, if you check very well your will notice that from the beginning of that match that Manchester united was never going to win that match if not for the penalty that Manchester united got by luck that made them to emerge victorious in that match. Amorim still need to work the Manchester united team his already trying to fix the team, but he need to put more effort so that the team can get balance and play very well.
Manchester United has actually been making gradual improvements and changing managers over the past few seasons, but the team's performance hasn't quite lived up to expectations. Manchester United's performance has been inconsistent, meaning they sometimes play well in one or two games and then perform poorly in the next. Amorim cannot be entirely blamed for the inconsistent performance, but everyone certainly needs to take responsibility, including the players.

Burnley really gave Manchester United a hard time today and I almost thought it would end in a draw, but a late penalty ruined all Burnley's plans. Of course, Manchester United benefited greatly from the penalty, otherwise they wouldn't have won the match.

That's true. Price corrections or dips are normal in the volatile crypto market, and actualy such drops should be seen as an opportunity to add to your portfolio. Experienced investors won't panic and sell all their assets, they have seen countless times that a bullish season will eventually arrive. All that's needed is patience, and that is the key to making a profit.
I agree with you, that's the reality. The market is between two cycles and investors will experience both at different times. Bullish and bearish are two market cycles that everyone takes advantage of, earning returns and experiencing losses in between. Anyone who can capitalize on the cycles will profit, regardless of whether they are a beginner or an experienced investor. Experienced investors can certainly manage things wisely, not panic when faced with changing market situations, most of them will certainly accumulate.

The big question for me now is, do we consider bitcoin gambling sites a big opportunity for the people or a big trap that will leave many young people addicted and financially broke?
Similarly, Bitcoin is simply a currency adopted by the gambling industry and it's exactly the same as fiat-based gambling. While there are certainly significant opportunities for industry players, as interest in it is growing rapidly due to increased privacy. The impact is exactly the same as fiat-based gambling. I don't find any difference other than privacy issues, addiction depends on each gambler.

Re: gambling and divorce

There are dozens, if not hundreds of divorce cases in my area stemming from gambling addiction. It's ironic, but that's the reality when gamblers lose control of their emotions due to severe addiction and loss of emotional control. I don't know the exact number of divorces due to gambling this year in my area, but the last time I read the media, the number reached over 300 cases throughout 2025.

Gambling is strictly prohibited in my country, but millions of people gamble every day making it a potential business opportunity for some. Gamblers gamble in secret, some in public as if it were legal, but I can clearly see that regulations prohibit it. The addiction exacerbated by economic hardship further exacerbates family problems, especially as wives demand various things. This is the result of a loss of control and excessive emotions that can ruin everything.

I'm quite curious about Amorim this season. After finishing poorly last year, Amorim has not started the league well today. It seems like Amorim isn't able to manage the players well. He even said that the match results and losses were intentional to make Amorim leave. So will he leave sooner? I think Amorim is under a lot of pressure right now. The improvements made by Amorim at great expense haven't shown any increase in strength in each league match.
The loss to Arsenal was understandable, considering Arsenal's squad depth was far superior in my opinion. However, being held to a draw by Fulham was a poor performance for Manchester United. I'm not underestimating Fulham's strength in that match, but Manchester United's play and attacking style were simply poor and ineffective.

Firing Amorim wouldn't be a bad idea if Manchester United's management could find a more competent replacement, but the problem with the team's performance isn't just the lack of a suitable coach, but also the depth of the squad. Manchester United need a major change and they really need to make it, otherwise this team will be as bad as it has been lately.

Re: Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

on 28/08/2025, 21:09:07 UTC
Although it is possible and you have mentioned an example, but do we know about the reality or the implementation of the limit, whether it is being really applied or it is just a written regulation which can be bypassed easily?
If you ask me, I do not think government should do it because it is against people's freedom as I believe most gamblers will act against this kind of regulation and will start to find alternative casinos to play once the limit is reached.
Governments are the ones who create regulations and rules and they hope these rules are effective in preventing more people from losing all their money gambling. These restrictions are intended to prevent gamblers from losing their money due to their inability to control their spending, but there will always be those who break the rules and find ways around them. Even if there are restrictions, I don't think the government would expect the success rate to reach 60% to 70% and I just think the percentage could be lower than 50%.
