1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: Today at 07:22:43 PM
I want to laugh reading it, because Haaland is not really noticed in my opinion, Ancelotti might not think of including him in the squad, although it is possible, and making Haaland in the center of their striker position while Mbappe is next to him to run and pass, but is it possible for them to be humble, I think there will be ego centricity that will be generated when they are together on the other hand also both hunt to be the best player.

Really this is just ridiculousness, the youth is so good and I prefer Mbappe to Haaland, however as you said Mbappe could be more perfect for Real Madrid's style of play, If you also note that Haaland was not so productive at the end of last season.

So far we agree that Real Madrid does not have a big interest in bringing Haaland to the Santiago Bernabeu, just by joining Mbappe at Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti's squad already has a strong squad on its front line. Mbappe is a player who can play in several positions, but it is very likely that the French star will be used as a center forward. As we know, Vini Jr's position will not be replaced. unless he is injured. Maybe, Ancelotti can put Mbappe on the wing and Joselu as a center forward.
If we try to imagine the two stars playing for the same team, it seems like there will be competition even though they both play on the same team, Mbappe is an ambitious player and so is Haaland. These two players will compete to become top players and achieve various awards, just like the rivalry between the two previous mega stars. It seems, if both of them play on the same team, it doesn't seem as exciting. despite the fact, both of them play in different leagues. well, it will be exciting especially when we talk about these two players competing with each other to achieve their respective ambitions and missions.

After all, it's not certain that Haaland intends to leave in the near future. After all, with Man City, Haaland can channel what he wants to achieve. yeah, like Mbappe for the next season, he will try to perform with everything he has to achieve what he yearns for and dreamed of throughout his career. Moreover, Madrid gave him the opportunity to make it happen. What's unique is that when I checked, both Haaland and Mbappe had both scored 27 goals, Mabppe was still with PSG and Haaland was with City, even though they had a two goal difference in the UCL. Well, what is certain is that Haaland will remain with City and Mbappe will prove himself with Real Madrid in the coming season.

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to  reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .

I tried opening the link you shared, at least it's good enough for someone who wants to try it online. although in fact we don't know for sure whether it is useful or not for gamblers, especially those who experience disorders. But, there's no harm if anyone wants to try the therapy you share in this thread. referring to what you said, actually I don't feel like I'm experiencing any problems or need help from this online therapy. I wouldn't do it, even if it's only doing it twice a year.
Well, for me personally it's the opposite. If there is something we consider a problem, then that is the problem. I mean, even in this scenario it's a good thing. for example, routine health checks and all kinds of things. but when we feel something is wrong, then that is the problem. more precisely, if the things that we initially consider gambling are fun and entertainment, such as playing anything and that becomes a problem for us. meaning, in other words, you need help, therapy or any ideas to give up the habit of gambling, or even just to check your health. which can be interpreted as mental health, it is the same as inviting it into our minds regarding worries if we are in trouble.
Maybe your idea could be a good idea for us gamblers, but I don't do it because we ourselves should be the ones who have implemented concepts related to gambling and its limits, especially as an alarm for self-control.
Exceptions, a person does need help to reduce the tendency to overplay.

3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? on: Today at 12:33:08 PM
Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?

I tried to read various community responses on the first page, in general they stated that it was not good. I would like to add, more precisely, it is not recommended to set up a gambling center in the middle of a student area or a casino close to a faculty or learning institution. In my view, it's not just about the positive or negative. However, the meaning is broader than that, there are many indicators that can provide a basis for understanding why gambling places are not recommended in student environments, schools, faculties, or those related to students who are studying.

Gambling is entertainment in this era, but it is not recommended for students. Apart from not being able to make their own money, I mean in general their status is students, this type of entertainment is more precisely placed in one location. I don't know for sure, but for example Las Vegas. Honestly, even though I've never visited it. whether there are schools there or not, but what we know is that Las Vegas is a famous gambling place. is located in one of the places that is more about entertainment culture, it even attracts visitors from abroad. well, what I said is enough for the OP's question in this thread. I don't need to mention it, my friends' posts have clearly answered the reasons and consequences of why it is not recommended that a casino be located close to an institution or place where students are supposed to seek knowledge and study. although in reality, someone can gamble with conditions based on permitted age limits.

4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake did it again! Another huge losing bet... on: Today at 11:17:10 AM
he is also into NHL?
i don't know what sport is he really into. he has been busy losing in UFC and then in the Grand Prix. for all we know the money (BTC) he bets on stake is not his right? so most of the article released about him losing may still be stake sponsored.
You can be into many sports while gambling. At least I gamble with football, tennis and boxing and yet I went to casinos to play some roulettes which is far more relaxing for me. So that does not mean. But I do not like how Drake lose more than win. He has a net worth of $250 million and he may see the money as what he can afford to lose.

I don't follow in Drake's adventurous footsteps with his gambling, but it seems he likes to bet on various sporting events. I read about his defeat not only this time, in fact I still remember when Drake became a topic of discussion when he lost the bet for Barcelona in the El Clasico match. looking at the amount of money he spent, it was very big for me. However, referring to his net worth, the amount he spends on betting is only a small percentage. Which caught my attention and made me a little curious, does Drake rarely share his winnings from his bets on social media? This can also answer the question above, whether the money he lost was purely his own money. yeah, regardless of his net worth, because as far as we know, Drake is one of the famous figures who has collaborations with casinos.

But apart from all that, I see that he really likes betting. Unfortunately, we only see the defeat side. I don't know, the point is, maybe because I don't have extensive information, especially regarding the gambling of this phenomenal rapper. However, over time, this rapper became quite unique with his gambling style. Unfortunately, I only bet on football, that's why I don't really follow this artist's bets. although in the case of the El Classico match we experienced the same defeat. The difference is, Drake and I have very unequal differences based on the amount of money bet, but one thing is the same, both he and I, bet with a portion according to our respective abilities.

Leipzig has announced a contract extension for its coach, Marco Rose, until 2026 and this is the right step taken by management to retain him. The reason is that since being brought in in 2022, Leipzig has always appeared consistent by successfully finishing in the top four and this former Dortmund coach has not disappointed at all and he just needs to continue his current adventure in bringing Leipzig to the ladder of competition for the title.

During the 23/24 season, Leizpig only suffered 7 defeats from 34 matches and I think this is still normal even though there were several moments that they could have turned into wins. Well, let's see whether Leipzig can still maintain its performance next season and we know that this Bundesliga will be even more difficult to predict considering that Bayern Munich will no longer be able to dominate.

Marco Rose is at least a competent coach for Leipzig, at the start of his career with his team he was able to present one trophy, namely the DFB Pokal. In the Bundesliga, he was still able to bring his team to the top four of the Bundesliga, even though Leipig was in the phase of rebuilding its team because several players had left. At the very least, it's a good move for RB Leipizig to keep this coach. Even though initially it was widely rumored that Marco Rose would leave to join Bayern Munich, he brushed it off and in the end extended his contract to manage RB Leipzig.

By the way, I like Marco Rose's typical coaching style. a trainer who is very confident, has a strong mission and a trainer who is clever enough to have tactics and a lot of strategy. Reportedly, Rose's contract extension comes a few days after striker Benjamin Sesko chose to extend his tenure at the Red Bull Arena. Well, it will be interesting to review the 2024/25 season. Will Marco Rose be able to maintain the consistency of his squad, or will he try to step on the gas at the start of the competition? yeah, considering the fact that some of the competing teams have changed coaches and are still young. This is interesting, it is very likely that RB Leipzig will not release players in the transfer market. Plus, maybe they will target some new talent or newcomers to add depth to RB Leipzig as the new season begins. At least, RB Leipzig might be able to compete more closely with Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.Thus, the Bundesliga will remain like last season, which was more exciting and interesting.

If Al Nasr makes a big enough offer for Ramos, I think he will be willing to play for Al Nasr. The reason is, at almost 40 years old, Ramos certainly won't have many choices in choosing a club. So if a club offers him a contract with a high enough salary, he will definitely accept it. Moreover, if Al Nasr offers him a contract, Ramos will definitely be willing to go to Al Nasr, because he will definitely be able to meet his teammate from Real Madrid (Ronaldo). So if you look at this aspect, it is very likely that Ramos will join Al Nasr before retiring.

And if we talk about Ramos' current performance, it could be said that he still has quite good performance as a defender. The reason is, this season he has often been the main player at Sevilla. Apart from that, even though he plays as a defender, Ramos was also able to score 7 goals for Sevilla in all competitions this season. So, even though Ramos is quite old, he is still very suitable to play at Al Nasr. Because as you said, currently Al Nasr is in need of a defender who has very extensive skills and experience. And of course Ramos fits these criteria very well, because Ramos has a very long experience as a defender, and he also has quite good skills. So it is clear that Ramos is a suitable player to fill the defender position at Al Nasr.


No one doubted Ramos when he played for the team he had a career with, last season Ramos was with Sevilla. Now he is being linked with several clubs, apart from Al Nassr.  However, what concerns me is whether there are no defenders who are much younger and stronger for Al Nassr ahead of the coming season. the reason is, for how many seasons if Al Nasrr wants to use Ramos' services. I tried to look at it in terms of popularity, Al Nassr has top players with the players they have now. or, ideally bringing in someone younger than Ramos. By offering him a contract and a high salary, Al Nassr was able to get a more ideal defender who also had the same skills and quality. besides, I'm not sure if Ramos is interested in joining and playing in the Saudi Pro League. as mentioned in the above report, he prefers other leagues. But, we'll see, who knows, Segio Ramos will be interested if he gets an offer from Al Nassr.

Well, IMO, Al Nassr can bring in players who have quality. they already have top players besides CR7, they will also get a tough defender besides Ramos. I'm not saying Ramos is over, but rather about the future progress of the Al Nassr squad itself. or, they can recruit local talent. It's been two seasons, Al Nassr without a League title after bringing in star players. Maybe, now is the time for them to focus on young talent. at least, for the squad's defense line. Or as I said above, that doesn't mean Ramos can no longer be relied on. However, Al Nassr will be much more competitive if they see the local potential or young talents they can bring in.

Yes, that's right, I agree with your opinion because as long as Manchester City still has players and coaches who are currently at the club, Arsenal will have a very difficult time competing with Manchester City.
From Manchester City's experience, this will be one of the reasons why Pep Guardiola's troops have always been able to win the PL title in recent seasons, while Arsenal's lack of experience will be one of the obstacles that makes this club always unable to compete with Manchester City.

Not only that, Arsenal also does not have the mental readiness to face every obstacle that must be resolved with good results, whereas to win the title, Arsenal must be able to overcome all obstacles like Manchester City did.
I'm also not sure whether in the coming season Arsenal will succeed in getting the title, but what is certain is that as long as Arsenal cannot learn from their mistakes, the results will remain the same.

Likewise with City, they will not always have it smoothly and will definitely be able to win the League trophy every season. It is true that we know very well when Pep Guardiola handles his team's squad and goes through competitions every season, especially in the last four seasons where they have always won the Premier League. However, each season presents a different challenge for Pep Guardiola and the same for City. At the same time, Arsenal have been trying for two seasons to compete fiercely in the race to win the Premier League. 23-24 season, where Arsenal were only narrowly separated by points. they did their job extraordinary, the enthusiasm of the young people really deserves to be appreciated. Even though in the end last season it was difficult to overtake City at the top of the standings, for the last two seasons Arsenal have been the only team that has troubled City's progress in continuing to dominate the EPL.

Well, so far Arsenal have shown that they are able to compete, even though many say that Arsenal lacks in terms of mentality and preparation. I see that so far Arteta is still committed to his project to bring Arsenal to its best level, that's why he is still trusted to handle the Gunners. This season, Arteta will make efforts with his squad, as well as bringing in several new arrivals to add depth to the team to face the new competition. Well, I hope the 2024-25 competition, will provide interesting competition. Not only Arsenal, but several other teams also add to the excitement of the Premier League.
Arsenal can do it, we will find out as the competition rolls out.

Let's forget about his age, Joselu is a good player but you guys forget something about how Ancelotti has been rotating his players. Since before now when Madrid hasn't gotten Mbappe let's say since the beginning of last campaign, has the coach been showing any sign of giving this guy Joselu a better opportunity? He always sit on the bench or sometimes he plays Joselu around 80-85mins just for him to kill the time, sometimes Ancelotti doesn't even play the guy so what's the assurance that he'll have a playing time (base on swapping the playing) now that they have Mbappe? To me Joselu is just there and there's no special reason for him to be there, if Ancelotti wants to do any sub he can even bring in a defender or a midfielder instead of Joselu.

Ancelotti did not give him a chance to start even after his goals in the semi-final against Bayern, so it can be said that Ancelotti is not changing his working strategy and there will always be a place for Joselu on the bench. Moreover, with the arrival of Mbappe, this situation will worsen, I doubt that Mbappe or Rodrigo will be on the bench. But apparently Joselu is happy with this, he goes on the field for twenty minutes, scores several goals, but he plays in Real Madrid, everyone makes their own choice.

The last news I read was the option to make Joselu permanent until June 30 to activate the clause. After that, I haven't received the latest news regarding this 34 year old player. IMO, Madrid or Ancelotti still need a pure striker and Joselu is that option. Even though it looks like Joselu won't have much playing time, it seems that staying at Madrid is the highest point of his career at his current age. However, he can still contribute to Los Blancos. Even though he was only a cover player, Joselu made a big contribution, especially when they overthrew Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

Well, as you said, it seems very likely that Joselu would be very happy if Real Madrid made him permanent at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even though there is now Mbappe, who will most likely always be the main starter in Ancelotti's squad, this apparently does not prevent Joselu from remaining at the Santiago Bernabeu. After all, his role will be quite crucial as a substitute player with the schedule that Madrid will carry out in the new season. Another option, Ancelotti can use various systems and strategies according to what he wants to implement for his team's squad with the available player resources. By the way, I am quite sure of the previous news, that Joselu will enjoy his role at Real Madrid and that is his wish and decision.

I find it a bit odd that people want Alonso to consistently produce good results (winning trophies) before he can be called a good coach. I mean, if his achievement with Leverkusen is just "lucky", then how would you judge his competitors? I guess every manager is terrible nowadays, which means a club should pick their coach randomly if that is the case. No point analyzing a coach's profile as long as they can get a bit lucky once in a while. He's probably not the next Guardiola, he won't have as much leeway with buying players, and he doesn't have to be one. Then again I guess he doesn't care what people think of him, especially if the club and the fans are happy with him.

Flashback about Xabi Alonso, he is a former player who has a background in playing in several leagues with elite clubs in each of his careers as a professional football player. Before pursuing his career in the world of coaching, Alonso was trained by several coaches who had big names and reputations. Most recently he had a career as a footballer at Bayern Munich, and has a lot of knowledge from different coaches. From there, Xabi Alonso has the knowledge to pursue a career as a football manager or professional football coach. BTW, I said this from several sports newspaper reviews I've read. Correct me, if I'm wrong. That's why, Xabi Alonso has an interesting record in his coaching career.
In short, in less than two seasons with Leverkusen, he was able to present his best and show his talent when managing Leverkusen starting from the relegation zone and was successful in his second season with an impressive record. So, it would be very natural if many people speculate or want this Spanish coach to remain consistent in winning trophies in the new season with his team. That's why it is hoped that Leverkusen will continue to give their best so that the Bundesliga remains competitive like last season. Even though I agree with you, it will be very difficult for Alonso to continue to appear consistent, let alone record the records he achieved with his squad. however, it might happen. Moreover, several strong rival teams are coached by young coaches. one of them, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are also handled by new and young coaches.

Talking about luck, it's true that Bayer Leverkusen was very lucky last season. However, this effort is not without reason. I don't really agree with the idea of ​​coincidence, after all everything is done with paper work, teamwork games, and coaches who dedicate their energy to their team. Xabi Alonso was ultimately successful, at least in his career as a professional coach and coached Leverkusen. So, will Leverkusen appear even better, or will they have tough competition in the new season? In fact, we will never know before the new competition is rolled out.

Arteta needs to build a strong mentality in his players so that they can survive in achieving success in the Premier League.
Last season they collected points that were far from Manchester City, but entering the second half of the season at the end of the competition lost so many points that Manchester City chased and managed to get the Premier League trophy.
This season was repeated in a different style where Arsenal lost several wins in important matches so that Manchester City again took over at the top of the standings.

Arteta must build a mentality for Arsenal players because if not next season they will also experience the same thing.
Arteta has indeed succeeded in making Arsenal a title contender, but this is not enough because of two consecutive failed seasons. Competing next season will be much more difficult because several other clubs have also built strength like them.

Gradually, the mentality of the Gunners' young squad began to take shape. unfortunately, they failed to return to replace City as League champions. although, there is only a very small difference in points. Well, I think the mentality of the Arsenal players is now getting sharper. Hopefully, this summer they will start the game very well until the season ends. thus, Arsenal might be able to win the trophy in the end. Well, to make this happen now, Arteta is not only improving the mentality of his players. However, he also knows that his team's squad needs to add strength to compete closely with City. Therefore, it is reported that Arteta is targeting several names, especially for the front striker. just relying on G Jesus, Nketiah, does not add sharpness to their attack line. I think Arteta knows the shortcomings in his squad, so that's why several pure striker names have been linked with Arsenal in the transfer window to welcome the new season in various competitions. That doesn't mean I'm saying G Jesus isn't talented, it's just that Arsenal really need a sharp, pure striker.

IMO, they need a goal getter to become the Target Man in their squad. Apart from that, this way Arteta has several names for the line to be placed in the center forward position. Maybe that way, Arsenal will be more productive and competitive. Well, in the previous two seasons, Arsenal experienced improvement, especially in the new season. Based on their efforts, this summer should be Arsenal's first step in winning trophies. To be sure, we'll see in the new season.

First of all, maybe my creativity doesn't reach the stage of opening a casino, or owning one. so, so indirectly my brain is trying to imagine related to the question in this thread. but unfortunately, I'm not a casino picker even for guessing. For me, there is a lot that I don't know about the business of an online casino platform. I'm trying to simplify it, maybe we're just trying to imagine the profits obtained by business people operating in this industry. However, based on my little knowledge based on various references I have read, it seems that it is not as simple as we think or even discuss. that's why I assume, we will know the ins and outs better, if we ourselves are business people operating in the gambling industry. But unfortunately, I don't own a casino, so I don't even have any knowledge of the detailed mechanisms of this business.

What we know simply is that those who operate and are involved in the gambling platform business definitely want to make a profit and can make big profits from this industry. However, there are many casino platforms that are not as profitable as we discuss or even imagine. so, what is the essence of this question. I can't say for sure, because I am not a businessman operating in the gambling industry. The point is, you have answered your own question. Simply put, if we are the owner of an online casino, of course we hope that many visitors and users will play at our place. then, benefit from it.

Or he's just an unlucky bettor, give your reasons and why you think so.

Interesting, but I can't judge anything about the stakes you share here, really, because I'm not him. or, this person may have many scenarios in his betting scheme. to be honest, I only look at the displays when people choose their bets. Regarding what someone is thinking, we don't know for sure. The reason is, there are no claims whatsoever about the bets you share in this thread. So, I will not categorize anything just because my judge is from the outside. I mean, I don't know what this bettor is thinking. IMO, there are so many possibilities. I also read comments from the community, some of us said maybe those bettors only risked very small amounts. which can be interpreted, if the ticket does not match expectations, he will not suffer a loss by losing his bankroll.

Whatever odds someone chooses, even though it seems unrealistic to us, someone still bets according to what he wants. There are many possibilities, right? It could be that someone doesn't have a good understanding of sports betting. Maybe he's just having fun with the smallest bet. It could be, he's a risk taker. So which one is true, we don't know. after all, he was the one betting. I understand very well, if we talk theoretically, maybe we will be surprised, I think so too. but I'm not sure what triggered it and he lost, that's a fact we know. well, I just thought, I wouldn't do it.

Joao Felix was once regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe but in recent seasons, he's lost most of the attentions he used to enjoy because of how poor he's been in the last two seasons. After his poor outing with Chelsea last two seasons, he spent last season with Barcelona in which he granted an interview that suggested he had poor relationship with his parent club. Right now, I don't think Barcelona would want to retain him because of their and that's because of their current financial crises which gives the Portuguese player no other option that to seek for a move to another club.
If he joins Manchester City, he might likely struggle to get playing time than he'll get if he joins Paris Saint Germaine so if he really wants to go to a club where he'll regain his lost form, I think choosing Paris Saint Germaine over Manchester City will be a better decision. Joao Felix is currently with the Portuguese national team as they prepare to play their first game of the UEFA Euros Championship this week. I love his style of football and will be very happy to see him succeed in any club he moves to in this summer transfer window

Speculation about Joao Felix's future has been one that has attracted attention in recent times, not being included in Diego Simeone's game scheme has made the Portuguese player linked with Atletico Madrid's exit. Previously, it was widely reported that Barcelona already had plans to keep him at Camp Nou, but the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona meant that this could not be realized. Several newspapers reported that Joao Felix's agent seems to have an alternative plan if the Portuguese player fails to stay at Camp Nou. Even though Barcelona plans to sign him permanently this summer, the problem is they are not willing to pay a high price. According to Sport from Spain, Joao Felix has no intention of returning to his parent club, Atletico Madrid.
On the other hand, it is reported that Hansi Flick has identified Felix as a priority target this summer. Barcelona hopes that the player's desire to stay at Camp Nou will help to negotiate a reasonable fee this summer. Hansi Flick also stated that Joao Felix is ​​flexible enough to operate on the wing as well as in the middle. he could be an important player in the Catalans next season, therefore Barcelona seems to be making efforts to negotiate an agreement.

Regarding City and Paris Saint-Germain, I have not read that they are interested in this player from Portugal. If this is true, I don't think Joao Felix will mind if Barcelona doesn't find an agreement with Atletico Madrid. I actually read, quoted from Foofball Espana, Jorge Mendez, has started offering his client services to several clubs including Fenerbace which is currently managed by Jose Mourinho. As a Barcelona supporter, of course I hope Laporta can keep him. For me, Joao Felix played quite well for Barca last season. That's why Hansi Flick also wants to keep him. However, let's just wait for developments.

I don't think Rapinha will leave Barcelona. Because Hansi Flick also seems to include Rapinha as a player that Barcelona really needs next season. So it is impossible for the club to sell the player. Apart from that, Rapinha also still has a fairly long contract at Barcelona, ​​namely until around 2027 if I remember correctly. And I even heard that Rapinha wanted to spend his career at Barcelona. Which means he even wants to play at Barcelona until he retires. Well, Barcelona still needs him and let's see whether under the guidance of Hansi Flick we will see all the Barcelona players return to their maximum performance again or not.

I tried looking for the latest information about Raphinha, but didn't find any news or rumors that he intends to leave Camp Nou in the near future and it seems very likely that the news related to this Brazilian striker is just gossip. Apart from that, currently Barcelona, ​​as far as I know, doesn't have many options, especially if he is rumored to be leaving Camp Nou. In fact, I'm sure Hansi Flick will keep him, if it is true that it is rumored that he intends to leave Barcelona. under Flick's coaching, it looks like Raphinha will be included in the main squad. Apart from that, Flick has the tough task of being able to revive his new team which experienced a downturn under Xavi Hernandez last season. Also, Flick once said that this target would not be achieved without major improvements within Barcelona. So, Flick tries to take the steps he wants for his squad.

Well, apart from the various things Barcelona is facing apart from their financial problems, this German coach will also make changes under his leadership. It might start with internal problems, apart from that the style and tactics are different from Xavi or Barcelona's current philosophy. Most likely, Flick will also change the system for his team's squad at Barcelona. So, it is very likely that the rumors regarding Raphinha are just mere gossip. which means, Flick really needs the services of this winger in his squad. His performance has also been quite good recently with Barcelona. On the contrary, the rumors currently circulating are of other Barcelona players. Let's see how things develop, because currently Barcelona doesn't have many options.

As far as I know, every gambler has their own style and analogy in gambling. Moreover, we in Asia have different styles of betting. what I mean is in sports betting. That's why we look more at options, one of which is the term Asian handicap betting. I usually bet on football, but it's the same, odds are the main option we see and refer to when making bets. Every opportunity has been provided by the bookie, or casino. So, now which choice will you make? the lowest odds, or ideal odds according to someone's analogy refer to the bet. for me personally, we have been presented with various choices according to our taste and style if. also, based on the results of research and analysis.

Honestly, that's why I don't like odds that are too low. automatically, thus I will look for opportunities that have a probability equivalent to what I am betting on. with various methods, research and analysis, we ultimately produce conclusions and results for us to take when betting. Plus, I'm not really trying to get rich overnight when betting. or, the very high odds I took. that is the wrong rule, because I have to adjust it to my betting principles. ideally, bet only on a few matches. If possible, from all the available matches you can choose one match among them. I mean, the less the better, whatever the odds, the risk of losing is always with us. That's also why I'm not too serious about parlay betting. Just imagine, to wait for the result of a match, win or lose, the probability of whatever the outcome is is wide open.

So, how to make a $800k ticket?, that's tough dude. except, we choose the parlay option with the number of matches selected. The lowest odds are the option, however, the question is how much probability do we have of winning. I think, it depends on how willing we are to lose and risk money in it. but I'm not at all interested, one or two matches is enough with ideal odds. for me, it's that simple.

Indeed, defense is the main problem for Al Nassr this season, they concede quite easily so they often get unsatisfactory results this season and this means they have to lag behind AL Hilal in the race for the title. Even though their front line is very productive, it must also be balanced with a defense that can perform well, so that it can be balanced when defending and attacking.

Because in my opinion when they have a really good defense, then they don't need to bother scoring lots of goals in every game. I mean when you don't concede, then just 1 goal will make a club win, but if the defense is weak when they concede 1 goal then they have to score 2 goals to win, and so on. And Al NAssr experienced that this season, where they had to feel something that made them have to create more in the matches they played.

If we compare it with Al Hilal, Al Nassr conceded half as many goals as its rivals throughout last season. Al Hilal conceded 23 goals, while Al Nassr conceded 42 goals. Al Nassr should be much stronger than Al Hilal, but apparently I can't just draw conclusions based on defenders who have played in the European League such as Laporte, Alex Telles. while the rest, several defenders who came from Saudi, did not contribute much for the team to be able to rely on it seems. Moreover, I don't know based on the data and statistics. while on the other line, Al Nassr has more competitive players. both for the midfielder line and the front line. So, there is a gap if we look at the depth of the Al Nassr squad. In the new season, at least Al Nassr will have to replace some of its defenders with more reliable players.

Like Al Hilal, they are not too focused on defenders who have played in Europe. However, at least the local defenders they have have skills that Jorge Jesus can rely on in defense. Al Nassr could do the same thing, they can do it anyway. Or, players who are not very competent can be released by Al Nassr. Thus, Al Nassr still has a quota to bring in defenders from the European League. They could also recruit more qualified local players to add strength to the defense sector. In the new season, there should be no reason for Al Nassr to win the League trophy and in several other competitions. However, it is also important how Luis Castro handles Al Nassr and fixes the weaknesses of his team's squad in the new season.

Every season or in the last two seasons we have seen Arsenal's performance develop to get better and better. Their improvement was so obvious. And yes, all of that is thanks to their very talented young coach, Arteta. And maybe in these two seasons Arsenal can only finish in second place. But still they are getting closer to finishing in first place. The difference between their points and Man City in each season is close to each other. And maybe it is true that next season Arsenal can finally produce good results by winning the Premier League title. And yes, if Arsenal could focus more on the Premier League, maybe they could have higher hopes of winning the Premier League. But maybe Arteta also prefers to fight hard for the two competitions, namely the EPL and UCL. Because after all, playing in the UCL is always a priority for all the teams that manage to qualify there.

As fans of the Gunners, like supporters, we hope that Arsenal can win the Premier League trophy next season. However, it is not an easy matter to remain consistently competitive with defending champion City. Moreover, at least there are potential names of Gunners players who are rumored to be leaving, such as Partey, Emile Smith, Reiss Nelson, these three players have been rumored with several clubs interested in them. It is possible that several other names could potentially leave Emirates. So like it or not, Arsenal had to hunt for other players instead.

At the same time, Arteta is eyeing several names of pure strikers to increase their strength as a team requirement. However, so far there is not a single name that will actually be brought to the Emirates Stadium. Of course, Arteta must increase the strength of his team so that it remains consistent and remains on target of winning the title. whether it's the Premier League or the Champions League. Since the last two seasons, Arteta and his squad have tried to compete closely with City. In the new season, Arteta is clearly targeting trophies for the Gunners. not only the Premier League is their goal. Other league trophies should also be of concern to Arteta, one of which is the UCL.
Well, I hope that whatever players Arteta will bring in, especially the pure strikers they are targeting, will be able to play very well when the new competition rolls out. achieved what we wanted, and what the club expected from Arteta.

If I try to look at it in general, the answer is subjective to each individual and it all depends on what a person's habits are with gambling. for example, there are those who do not apply the fixed concept at all when conducting gambling sessions. On the other hand, quite a few also have the habit of preparing a bankroll that they will deposit before carrying out a betting session, especially for those who are not tied to just one casino. However, if I observe in the community, it seems that most have set a bankroll that they will deposit when they want to have a betting session.

For me personally, the answer is as I said at the beginning. It's all subjective, depending on when I'm going to have a betting session. especially if we talk about sports betting, where sometimes we will budget certain funds when there are important, crucial matches or certain events. so in principle, it all depends on what the situation is especially if we talk about sports. However, usually we will budget a fixed bankroll for each betting session on normal days. Sometimes in sports betting it is unique, where we will budget for several crucial bets which are usually only on certain events. Well, that's more or less a small overview of my gambling session activities.

Any idea how Leverkusen is going to perform in the Champions League competition? 

~~

Nothing more than the round of sixteen, immediately after the group stage games. That's whwtbi expect from them.

We should have seen that finals in the next couple of months ( August ) but, Bayern Leverkusen had some difficulties beating Atalanta in the finals of the European Europa League Competition.

I expect them to also dominate their group and come out as the best, I mean finishing strong at the top, but nothing more than the knock out stage believe, they should rather surprise me than for be to set my hopes high and they fail me completely. I love Xabi Alonso, I want to see him rise to the level of other top managers but I don't know if he can do it back to back for Bayern Leverkusen same way he did last season.


Yes, if we hope for team consistency it will be very difficult, even though Leverkusen looked cool in every match last season. In the following season, it will be difficult for Alonso to continue to make his team play matches like before. That doesn't mean Leverkusen can't do it, but it's a pretty serious challenge for Xabi Alonso and it won't be easy at all. Moreover, they will compete in the Champions League, in fact we don't yet know which teams will be challengers in the group phase later. what I can theorize is that the club's or Xabi's main target is to qualify from the group phase. After that, it depends on what team they will be playing against. that is, if Leverkusen is not in the group phase which has tough opponents. The reason is, the Champions League competition is quite tough and is a challenge for the squad coached by Xabi Alonso. It's not only related to mentality, but every team they will play against is a team that performs quite well in their respective leagues. The point is, I can't expect anything before they play their match after the new competition starts. We will see later, whether Xabi Alonso is able and keeps Leverkusen as competitive as last season. Or, Leverkusen will be like other teams who failed to maintain the consistency they built in the previous season. But at least Leverkusen has a chance to qualify for the group phase with the squad they currently have, but we will only know for sure when the Champions League competition is rolled out.

Even though PSG is a rich club, they have failed to live up to expectations in Europe. I think the management ranks must receive serious attention to be improved and must be filled with people who understand the rules and targets of the club. Now is a new era for PSG to overhaul the squad after Mbappe's departure. On the one hand, the French striker is really needed, but on the other hand, he is a huge burden on the club because of his salary and attitude which must be put first.

PSG will still be able to shine under the guidance of Luis Enrique specifically in League 1, but in the Champions League it is always difficult for every team. It's just that the PSG president has to reorganize management, achievement targets and transfer policies.
PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will have more calculating figures to spend in the transfer window. PSG management still intact, we've come to realized how the presence of Kylian Mbappe was to the club and in his absence, the club will probably fumbled but there's always need to panic. Luis Enrique will worked definitely on the improvement of the club. He will selectively choose the players that will becoming professionals in his team, because they're having main targets to strive for.

PSG always tries to build a strong team, but until now they have not won the Champions League title. we can see it from various points of view, starting from the management, coaches and players. all of them, did not escape being indicot for me personally. Even though PSG still has Mbappe, if they can't achieve the Champions League trophy, PSG will still be seen as the same. Now, Mabppe's presence or departure is no longer their focus. The point is what PSG's goals are, specifically where they will be more directed. whether PSG will try to build a strong team foundation, Enrique style. or, they will bring in various big names to achieve their targets each season.

I'm trying to refer to City, they also didn't immediately achieve their goals regarding the Champions League. management first built a solid team foundation, and in the end they achieved their goals for the first time. Likewise with PSG, the point is how the club builds a strong team first from various lines. If Al Khelaifi tries to entrust more responsibility to his management and coaching staff, I mean he is not directly involved in recruiting players. maybe PSG will be much stronger, whether it's from the team and choosing the right coach. Currently Enrique is managing PSG, of course he has a mission to bring his team to win titles in various competitions. well, will the coach get full support. or, like previous coaches who are rarely involved in player recruitment. Right now I just want to see what PSG will do, especially in bringing in new arrivals for the new season.
