Togel Gambler who recovered aids another

Posted on by Allison Jordan

I received the email two days ago. “How do I stop?” he asked. My friend, Harry, is trying to stop gambling. His email had a joking tone, but his meaning was quite serious. “I know that I have to stop, but I don’t know how to,” Harry wrote. “How do you walk away when you’re down, and admit that you’ve lost?”

 

Harry is a 26-year-old law student, living like most law students live. Harry eats lots of 99-cent double cheeseburgers and chokes each time he sees the cable/Internet bill in the mailbox.

 

He started gambling on games after his new roommate introduced him to the pastime.

 

First it was $25 or $50 on the Patriots, just a little something to enhance the enjoyment of the game. Then, Harry turned to betting on college basketball. Fifty-dollar bets turned into $150 bets, which turned into $500 bets.

 

Harry won some, but lost more. His new gambling habit was turning into a problem. Over the last few days, Harry has gambled away his rent and grocery money.

 

That’s when he emailed me. He knew that I had battled the same beast during my college days. I watched many a Syracuse basketball game wringing a useless towel.

I’ve felt the high of winning $1,000, then spontaneously ordering Chinese food for the entire floor. But, I also know how it feels to lose $1,000, your gut wrenching even as you plan your next bet to make up the loss, which you can’t afford anyway. It is a vicious, evil cycle.

I gambled most of my freshman year, my bets becoming more and more bold. I learned more sophisticated ways to place bets that yielded larger potential payouts. I even started taking bets from friends and acquaintances. Suddenly, I was an …

Dark Keluaran HK days ahead for fallen giants Júbilo

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

When Júbilo Iwata won the last of their J. League titles in 2002, several of their biggest names were pushing the wrong side of thirty.

 

34-year-old striker Masashi Nakayama was joined by veteran midfielders Toshiya Fujita and Hiroshi Nanami in a vastly experienced but rapidly ageing squad, as the elder statesmen of the Shizuoka side maintained a tight grip on the squad.

 

Júbilo clearly needed an injection of fresh faces if they were were to continue their dominance of Asian football, but rather than see their declining veterans depart, fans instead saw top scorer Naohiro Takahara exit for the German Bundesliga.

 

Fast forward to 2010 and the club’s Keluaran HK crippling lack of foresight has had a dramatic knock-on effect. In a land where experience is venerated above all else, Júbilo’s failure to renew their playing stocks has seen the club suffer a dramatic fall from grace.

 

No longer regarded as a powerhouse of Asian football, the one-time continental champions have even been overtaken by Shimizu S-Pulse as the strongest club in the region.

 

Average attendances have dropped to their lowest point this decade, Júbilo have not won a piece of silverware since 2003 and a new nadir was reached in 2008 when this once-proud club was forced into the relegation/promotion playoff to salvage their top-flight status at the expense of Vegalta Sendai.

 

Not even the form of striker Ryoichi Maeda has been enough to fire Júbilo out of their slump, after the Japan striker became the first Júbilo player since Takahara to top the goal-scoring charts while blasting home 20 goals for his struggling side last season.

 

Last weekend just 7,258 fans turned out at

Júbilo’s compact Yamaha Stadium to witness the home side lose to Kyoto Sanga on their …

Adjust to the Speed of the Bola88 Table

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Having played in hundreds of online no-limit hold’em tournaments over the last couple of years, I have experienced both extremely fast tables, where the players seem to be pushing their stacks in on every hand, and extremely slow, passive tables, where there are seldom any raises before the flop. It seems clear that there must be at least some adjustments or “gear shifting” required to play the optimum strategy for each of these two extremes.

 

To start with, there is definitely some truth to the old poker adage that states: “Play tight in a loose game, and loose in a tight game.” If everyone is playing close-to-the-vest tight, you can afford to play some mediocre hands and can often pick up “unwanted” pots with merely a small bet. But when the stacks are flying, you are often well-advised to sit back and wait for a good hand, which will usually be paid off well.

 

In a slow game, any good player rates to have a big edge, especially if he is the only player who frequently raises before the flop or does most of the Bola88 betting. But in some slow games, it is even better to let one or two of the other players be the “designated bettor.” For example, if you are playing in a game in which most players are just plodding along and calling, and then along comes some hotshot who starts raising frequently, you can almost feel that everyone else at the table hates this guy and would like to “get him.” So, they will strain to call him down and perhaps pick off some of his frequent bluffs — which often creates lucrative opportunities for you. And it is often sound to speculate (with lesser starting hands) by getting …

The verdicts on the ‘Gang of Five’ who destroyed the harmony of the Togel Singapore French camp at the World Cup were announced just like any criminal trial’s results, complete with mugshots of the offenders.

 

Nicolas Anelka, the instigator of the pathetic rebellion with his foul-mouthed attack on coach Raymond Domenech, got an 18-game ban from the national team, Patrice Evra got five for failing in his captain’s duties, Franck ‘underage’ Ribery got three as the ironically named vice-captain and Jeremy Toulalan Eurovisions.must sit out one match me for penning the excruciating players’ statement which the hapless Raymond Domenech read out to the press, willingly or not.

 

Anelka predictably laughed off the ban but is unlikely to wear bleu again, while the reaction from the French players’ union, which blamed Domenech instead of the boorish players, showed it is not just England’s PFA who stand up for overpaid yobs in public.

 

In view of the damage done to the national team, the hopes of millions of Frenchmen and women back home and their sense of self-pride, let alone the image of the country across the world, the punishments handed out were mild in the extreme. Never before have I heard people telling me they were ashamed to be French.

Park And Koo Say Goodbye To Togel Hongkong Korea

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Park Ji-sung says goodbye.

It was apt. On the day that Park Ji-sung announced his retirement from the South Korean national team, leaving the way open for even more young players, then 21 year-old midfielder Koo Ja-cheol was bidding farewell to Jeju United and heading to Europe to join 2009 German champions VfL Wolfsburg.

 

Park’s goodbye was more emotional and marks the end of an era. After making his 100th appearance in the semi-final of the 2011 Asian Togel Hongkong Cup that ended in a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of eventual champion Japan, Park confirmed that he wouldn’t be seen in the famous red shirt of his nation again in order to prolong his career in another red shirt, that of Manchester United.

 

Even at the far-from-ancient age of 29, Park feels that the lengthy journeys from Manchester to Seoul don’t do his body any favours and it can be safely assumed that his English employers are not against this decision.

 

“I think I could have continued my international career without health issues,” Park said, blinking in front of hundreds of flashlights at KFA House in Seoul. “But I will accept the situation as it is and I have no regrets. Because of our geographic location, I’ve had to travel long ways from Europe to play (in South Korea). But to be competitive in the world, we have to travel around the world and players from now on should take care of themselves.”

 

Try as he might, he couldn’t convince the assembled press pack that he doesn’t plan to make a dramatic comeback at the 2014 World Cup when he will be 33.

 

“If we make it to the World Cup in Brazil, then players who worked hard during the qualification …

Football Keluaran HK Connections: Chile and Palestine

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Far from the tinderbox of the Gaza strip there’s a pocket of South America where you can see the Palestine flag flying high and football fans decked out in keffiyeh headdresses.

 

These fans are the loyal followers of Club Deportivo Palestino, a team that narrowly missed out on Chile’s Primera División last season. They lost to Colo Colo in the championship play-off decider and were denied the third league title of their history.

 

Chile has the largest population of displaced Palestinians outside the Middle East region and in 1920 a group of them decided to start a football team in Santiago. While in its infancy Palestino competed in the colonial championships of Osorno.

 

These days home games are played at Cisterna Keluaran HK Municipality Stadium and a capacity crowd produces a 12,000 strong sea of red, green and black.

 

When a national league was established by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile in 1952 Palestino joined the second division and won an instant promotion to the top-flight.

 

Three years later they won the national championship under the guidance of former Argentine captain Guillermo Coll. Their only other title came in 1978 with a league and cup double, this time with legendary Chilean captain Elías Figueroa at the helm.

 

Another familiar face to have passed through the ranks at Palestino is former Chilean international midfield Clarence Acuña who had a spell at Newcastle United as well as appearing at 1998 World Cup for Chile.

 

Despite Palestine remaining unrecognised as a country by everybody from the United Nations to Myspace, FIFA has allowed a Palestinian national team compete in World Cup qualifiers for the last 10 years.

J-League News: Gamba still top, but Aplikasi Judi Online Urawa are closing in

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

There is a familiar look to the top of the J-League, where Gamba Osaka and Urawa Reds currently occupy the top two positions.

 

The two clubs clashed in front of 55,258 fans at Saitama Stadium on May 13, where the shares were spoiled in a 1-1 draw, after Bare’s early opener was cancelled out by Washington.

 

Washington endured a frustrating afternoon against Gamba, first seeing a goal chalked off for a foul on thirty-seven minutes, before Gamba goalkeeper Yosuke Fujigaya saved Washington’s spot-kick after sixty-four minutes. The temperamental striker finally got on the score-sheet after seventy-six minutes, as the honours were shared in Saitama.

 

Gamba got back to winning ways on May 19, beating Kashiwa Aplikasi Judi Online Reysol 2-1 in wet conditions at Expo ’70 Stadium in Osaka. Ex-Ventforet Kofu striker Bare scored his seventh goal of the season to open proceedings. Midfielder Takahiro Futagawa then produced an early contender for goal-of-the-season, with a stunning thirty yard strike that rocketed passed Yuta Minami in the Kashiwa goal.

 

On the stroke of half-time former Bayer Leverkusen front-man Franca played in strike partner Tadanari Ri, and the Japan under-22 international produced a clinical finish to beat Fujigaya in the Gamba goal. That’s how the scoreline stayed, as the second half failed to match the excitement of the first.

 

In Aichi-ken 34,347 fans turned out at Toyota Stadium, but the home fans left disappointed as Urawa snatched a 2-1 win over Nagoya Grampus Eight. With Marcus Tulio Tanaka missing through a thigh injury, Brazilian defender Fabio Nene stepped in, and he opened the scoring by heading home Robson Ponte’s twenty-seventh minute corner.

 

Norwegian international Frode Johnsen equalised when he ghosted in behind the Urawa defence to volley home Shohei Abe’s left-wing cross, as the …

AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS – The five Pkv pillars v Two jumpers and a goalpost

Posted on by Allison Jordan

 

 

Woken this morning by the call of the muezzin, blaring out “Allahu akbar” on a microphone at 5.30a.m. This got me thinking further about the similarity Pkv between Islam and football. The muezzin will call people to prayers five times a day every day, at sunrise, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and night. The timetable for these calls can be found in the daily papers. A more flexible timetable is adopted for football but details can also be found in the paper, for many everyday people participate in this form of religion through the television. Our TV listings page will show, Soccer AM, Football Focus, Match of the Day any live games and late night football from overseas. Other more devout followers, will also turn to the fixtures section and answer the call, sometimes by travelling vast distances.

 

Islam means ‘submission’ and the people are expected to observe the five pillars which form the basis of the religion. The first pillar is to publicly declare ‘there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his Prophet’. In football we will tell anyone that our team is better than anyone else’s, no matter what our current league position is.

 

The second pillar, is to answer the call of the muezzin, and pray five times a day. (I answered this mornings call by asking him to be quiet). In football it is important to get your daily fix and an innovation of recent times has been the great ball in the sky – the satellite which provides non stop information.

 

The third pillar is to give alms for the propogation of Islam and to help the needy. In football this can be done by paying exorbitant amounts of money in the form of either match day admission fees or …

In Europe, England qualified for the World Cup in South Africa in style from Group 6 with a 5-1 thrashing of Croatia at Wembley. Two goals a piece from Gerrard and Lampard and one from Rooney meant that England qualified with a 100% record so far in their group.

 

Elsewhere in the the European qualifying zone Northern Ireland’s hopes of making the tournament took a blow with a 2-0 loss at home to Slovakia. Scotland’s hopes were dashed when they crashed 1-0 at Hampden to The Netherlands after a late goal by substitute Elia.

 

There were wins for Germany 4-0 at home to Azerbaijan, Portugal 1-0 away to Hungary, Italy 2-0 at home to Bulgaria. Spain qualified for South Africa with an impressive 3-0 drubbing of Estonia.

 

Holders Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Switzerland seem to be on course for automatic qualification with France, Portugal, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland hoping to get to South Africa through the play-offs.

 

The biggest surprise of the night was Faroe Islands 2-1 Lithuania . This was the Faroe Islands’ first win in a World Cup qualifying match for eight years.

 

In Asia, Bahrain advanced through the play-offs after a 2-2 draw in Saudi Arabia with a dramatic late equalizer. Bahrain will face New Zealand is another two-legged play-off to decide which team will appear at the 2010 World Cup.

 

In South America, Paraguay beat Argentina 1-0 to qualify and leave Diego Maradona’s team in serious danger of not making the finals. Paraguay dominated a disorganized Argentina and the second half sending off of Juan Sebastian Veron sealed Argentina’s fate. Argentina are 5th in the group only one point ahead of Uruguay who they must play away next month.

Iraq coach Jorvan Vieira must have wondered why his team bothered leaving Bangkok at all. After coming to the somewhat disconcerting realisation that his team had no accommodation booked upon their arrival in Kuala Lumpur, Vieira probably let fly with a few choice words two days later when he stepped out on to the pitch at the cavernous Bukit Jalil Stadium. Greeted by the now familiar site of torrential rain lashing the ground, the pitch was visibly cutting as the two teams warmed up.

 

Outside the ground fans could have been forgiven for preparing their arks, as apocalyptic-looking rain clouds drifted over the city, seemingly determined to converge directly above the bafflingly large stadium. If the Petronas Towers are the obvious symbol of Kuala Lumpur then Bukit Jalil is a symbol of excess – it is difficult to envisage how this behemoth of a stadium could ever be filled to capacity. Nevertheless there was a noticeably improved atmosphere for the semi-final clash between Iraq and Korea Republic, as thousands of noisy Korean fans forced their Iraqi counterparts to lift their own game.

 

Petronas Towers

Coach Vieira had also called on his team to lift their game ahead of this clash, but the heavy, rain-sodden pitch made it clear from the outset that nothing short of a battle of attrition would settle this encounter. And so it was, as both Qiu Qiu Online teams punched and counter-punched in a nervy opening forty-five minutes. Both teams had chances, with the penetrative Hawar Mohammed Taher not enjoying the best of tournaments in front of goal for the Iraqi’s, whilst the livewire Ki Hun-Yeom lacked the composure to finish off a couple of decent chances for the Koreans.

 

With incessant rain continuing to lash the ground and both teams …
