1001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 29, 2024, 05:34:37 AM
Girona is really serious and focused on challenging Real Madrid in this race we can see it when Girona misses other competitions such as the Copa del Rey, we still remember when Girona was defeated by Mallorca logically, it is impossible for Girona to be defeated by Mallorca but that is the fact that happened, so we consider that defeat to be part of Girona's plan to be more focused on the La Liga title. We know Real Madrid will not just give a title but on the other hand Girona will also do the same thing, and Girona still has an opportunity even though Real Madrid's chances are greater.
Girona seems to be following the strategy used by Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach when he gave up the Copa Del Rey competition, Girona will also not focus on that competition.
this opinion is based on what I have observed that Girona is really against Real Madrid and does not want Real Madrid to be the La Liga title holders this season and we can see that Girona current efforts to continue chasing Madrid points on the one hand are very ridiculous when Real Madrid avoids the Copa Del Rey, Girona also followed suit to defeat the competition and it is really interesting for me to see a small team trying to take on the big teams in La Liga.

when Barcelona no longer had the ability to compete in La Liga, Girona tried to replace Barcelona role trying to achieve success here but I don't want that to happen because it would be very funny if a small team could get rid of Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the title in La Liga while on paper, Girona is just a lucky team this season.
as a Real Madrid supporter I will pray that Girona will experience difficulties in the short term.

The Inter vs Juventus match will be a very exciting match. Inter really have to survive and increase their points to be able to maintain their position at the top of the standings, but Juventus will not remain silent either, they will try to take the top position even though they are still 1 point behind Inter. Of course there are still many matches to add points so this top standings match will be a match that will also determine whether Inter can win and continue to survive or whether they can be overtaken by Juventus. Of course both teams will prepare their own strategies to excel in the head to head match.
this match will be a big match which will be very interesting to watch but it is difficult to predict who will be the winner while a draw also has a big chance for both teams.
Inter and Juventus are currently a tight competition between the two teams who both want to be at the top of the standings to defend the title and lead until the end of the season but it looks like this competition will continue until the end of the season so it is difficult to predict who will win.

If it's just a prediction, I will see a draw in this big match, but if we talk about chances of winning, I see that Inter is likely to win with a narrow score, but that doesn't provide a guarantee when you remember that Juventus is also one of the strongest teams currently in serie A.
Maybe conditions would be different if Inter were busy again with the Champions League schedule and before the UCL match started, Inter wanted to immediately secure their position in series A but in fact it was very difficult.
if you said about strategy I would be more confident if both teams would use a defensive strategy.

I think Aston Villa will not be strong enough to compete closely until the end of the season in the race for the title, they seem to be more focused on being in the top 4 and playing in the Champions League next season. I am sure that only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to compete until the end of the competition in the race for the title. Moreover, their points are very close and if they face each other, the difference between their point will be visible.

So, if Haaland returns to the team after recovering from injury then we will see Manchester City playing with their full strength. In the midst of the hot issue about Klopp, Manchester City and Arsenal will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to continue performing well in the Premier League to overtake Liverpool. They have to complete a lot of tough matches perfectly, so losing just one point in a match will make these three teams change positions on the standings.
it is difficult to say who is more worthy and will be a strong contender to win the EPL title this season because the point difference between the teams in the top 5 in the standings is still very close without exception, even Aston Villa still has the opportunity to compete with Man City, Liverpool and also Arsenal because The point difference is currently very close and can still be achieved by teams in the top 5 in the standings.
I don't doubt any team that is in the top 5 at the moment because of the fact that Spurs and Aston Villa were once at the top of the standings even though only temporarily and currently these two teams are lacking consistency to maintain their current position.

as long Haaland hasn't returned to Man City I won't say anyone deserves to be the leader because there are still 10+ matches to go in this EPL but if Haaland returns I'm sure Man City will return to the top of the standings and on the one hand Liverpool mainstay player Salah has also not been able to appear with Liverpool and if he can return again the competition will definitely be more competitive.

however, if teams like Aston Villa and Spurs are unable to compete, I'm sure they will only maintain their position because they want to get tickets to the UCL and european League next season.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: January 28, 2024, 08:07:38 PM
not sure whether you already know or not, but a few months ago there was a thread discussing a grandfather who beat his grandson and this news was linked to gambling addiction.
from this thread you can already have an idea of what gambling addiction really is like because if a gambler is truly addicted to gambling they not only cannot be a responsible gambler but also cannot control their emotions wherever they are, they become more aggressive and addiction is one proof that he can't control himself so there are always reports of a gambling addict abusing his family or killing his own family just because he lost from gambling or whatever is related to gambling.

from most similar cases I have never had the thought that gambling is a serious problem or even blamed gambling because for me gambling is just a business or place of entertainment and all entertainment places definitely have a risk impact if you cannot control yourself and are used excessively such as you come to a nightclub where the entertainment is you spend your night drinking large amounts of alcohol and you are not aware that you have to be taken to hospital and at that time you cannot blame the club owner or blame the alcohol because of your own decision to go to the nightclub and you should can control one's own responsibilities to keep oneself from overdoing it.

back to the main point, cases like this actually happen often and you can search on the search engine for keywords: abuse carried out by gambling addicts.
1005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: January 28, 2024, 06:36:35 PM
For everyone's thinking is clearly different, and maybe there are people who can generate income by gambling, but in my opinion this is more directed at streamers, they gamble live and maybe they can make a profit from it, but I don't know either. clearly, because as far as I know to generate a clear income by just gambling will not run smoothly of course there will be more losses.

Gambling is indeed a business, but that only applies to companies, not to people who only act as players  because companies also take advantage of their players, so it is impossible for these players to always get profitable wins.  that's right, gambling as a career is not worth the business pressure that gambling companies run. They also have to be able to regulate their playing habits as you said, because if they gamble often it doesn't make them better.
more precisely, maybe someone can make money from gambling not from gambling but from the streamers they do.
so when a streamer gambles, he doesn't always win and often loses, but he still earns income from live streaming when his audience increases and he can also earn income from referrals that he embeds in his broadcasts.
so still streamers will not be able to earn income from gambling but maybe from other means as I said.

the gambling industry or gambling business is built with the aim of earning income for the business owner and on the one hand, gambling owners provide casinos for customers who want to come looking for entertainment and they as customers should know that when they come to the casino, paying for pleasure we already get happiness. there is no need to expect too much bonuses from winning because it only depends on our luck.
from here we can conclude that gambling will not possibly provide a career for gamblers unless they have a career beyond gambling which is promoted by becoming an influencer.
1006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: January 28, 2024, 06:12:56 PM
If you were in this situation, what would you do? Introduce him to sports betting or let him stick to playing slots. Yesterday, I just let it go but we still often meet at other activities.
If I were you I would let him play the slot, because in my experience, if we advise someone that enjoying what he is playing, it might bother him, and may disturb his concentration. Sports betting is good, but it's also not good for someone who are not used to playing it. If we force him to play with what we want, it might make him feel You feel disturbed in what he did also. That might be not good for your house, that possibly his work for cleaning your house is not maximal.
That means it is up to everyone to start learning sports betting or stick to playing slots. But indeed, if someone has often played slots, he may not or will not be interested in other gambling games unless he sees and is curious about other gambling games. He might start asking questions about the person who introduced him to the gambling game and then he will find out more. I've never been in a situation like that, but if I do, I'll probably leave him alone until he asks me to talk about gambling. If he is curious about other gambling games, maybe I will introduce him to sports betting or other gambling games.
every gambler has their own comfort in where they will gamble and we cannot force them to try other types of betting because they will never have the slightest interest in trying to have comfort in other types of gambling like you when you are too comfortable with sports betting even though for us sports betting is the most comfortable but for a slot gambler it is something boring as I experienced before. at first I often bet on all casino games, one of which was the slot game that I often played and often said that sports betting was boring because at that time I felt that slots were a game what was very interesting made me excited but the fact is that the longer and more often I played slots I felt bored and that's when I tried to return to sports betting and it turned out that it was fun after placing a bet to be able to watch the matches so I felt comfortable in sports betting.

well, this is all about comfort where every gambler has his own choice and we should not provide other comfort in other games because we cannot give him guarantees regarding pleasure and comfort.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 28, 2024, 12:37:16 PM
Very often gamblers will set a limit to the amount of money they are willing to lose during a session, and while that is the correct decision to take, at the same time very few gamblers choose to set a limit for their profits as well.

So when they begin their session and everything goes according to their desires instead of being happy for their good fortune and stop gambling, they keep doing so hoping for an even bigger win and when their luck turns against them and begin to lose they get desperate and take the irrational decision to keep going even when they are now losing money, and that is how we end up with those unbelievable stories of gamblers that were doing well and then lost all the money they had at a casino in a single night.
of the majority of gamblers in this world, only a small portion are able to apply win limits or loss limits and the rest will ignore the issue of limiting losses but will focus on the wins they want to get and conditions like this are very normal, in fact most people will not be surprised by this case like this.

and the case you say is also one of the conditions where all gamblers have felt that when they win they feel happy and happy and when they lose they regret it and behind the feeling of happiness there is a greedy nature that emerges which encourages them to continue gambling with the assumption that they want to get a bigger win and behind it is regret. there is a high level of emotional revenge wanting to take back the money that has been lost.
things like this must be paid attention to, even though it is difficult to set limits regarding wins and losses, we must believe that these limits will save us from bad impacts when gambling.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: January 28, 2024, 11:19:01 AM
We can't lie to the fact that one of the things that makes gambling look attractive is that there is "money" as the object of winning and this is also a big reason why many people come to engage in this activity, basically all living humans need money and when they see a place that provides opportunities to get money then obviously there will be many people who come with the same intention and purpose which is to get or multiply the money they bring. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to hear that people come to seek entertainment, but aren't there quite a lot of other types of entertainment that are also fun and without involving risk? So I think this "fun" is something that might be used as an excuse, but on the other hand I would also say that it could be that some people who bring the idea of fun in gambling are indirectly aiming to brainwash them and convince their subconscious that this activity should not be taken seriously or excessively.
everything related to money will certainly be very interesting but it can also leave a bit of a bad side if we overdo it, especially in gambling we are always presented with other people's winnings in large amounts and this can make us tempted to continue gambling in the hope of getting a win like the one we got others.
gambling is not something serious, it's just that certain gamblers always have an understanding without thinking about how gambling works, while all they think about is winning.
It's very natural that a gambler sometimes doesn't want to admit that they are gambling for money because they are hiding their shame because they lose too often and also don't want to be called stupid because they often lose and actually when they are not betting a gambler has a clear mind that he is aware of gambling just for money but when they enter the gambling room they will forget all that and their thoughts will be replaced with the assumption of wanting to win.

but of the majority of gamblers who gamble to make money there are also many gamblers who bet just for fun and to try their luck but they have self control and good financial management, that doesn't mean I'm proud of myself but right now this is what I'm doing even though I want to try my luck to get a winning bonus but still with the smallest amount without having deep feelings of regret.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2 years old kids alone at home for hours, while the father goes gambling on: January 28, 2024, 06:45:41 AM
this is a disgusting act for me as a father who has big responsibility to protect his family but ignores all that and is more concerned with gambling to fulfill his desires to carry out his desires but at the expense of his child life, very sad.
news is an example of the madness of gambling addicts who give up anything to be able to gamble and ignore everything that could prevent them from gambling. In fact, I think he as a father deserves this punishment because he must be able to immediately regret his actions and be immediately rehabilitated before it becomes worse bad.

I'm sure he often does the same thing when his wife leaves her child and entrusts her child to her husband and what's strange is that if his wife already knows that her husband has  problem with gambling addiction, shouldn't his wife immediately seek help from doctor or professional who can treat her husband for addiction and I am very sure that he has often made worse mistakes.

this will be a further example for gamblers to continue to pay attention to their gambling style, to always be careful and immediately tell people they trust when they feel they have a problem with gambling to immediately avoid addiction.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: January 28, 2024, 04:35:50 AM
If you're talking about those who are able to lead lives while still getting the impulse to gamble and are actively acting upon it with no hesitation, then I got news for you, they are already digging their own graves and if no action was taken to prevent them from going off deeper into the abyss that is gambling addiction, then the problems you're talking about is going to manifest and become more apparent. Which is why people should always stop gambling immediately soon as they feel like they are doing something they shouldn't do. Cause once you lose yourself in the game it's going to be even harder to come back.
It is true that what you say is very reasonable when a gambler has desire to continue to gamble even though real life has no problem I think they have to stop gambling and leaving gambling for a while.
the encouragement to continue gambling is one of the initial signs of addiction even though it does not look serious, but believe it is the beginning of the destruction of his life in the future because I say like this has experienced very bad gambler in the past and for those who have an early sign of addiction as if you want to continue gambling it would be better to immediately force yourself to leave gambling.
sometimes gambler experiences an early sign of addiction that will never adhere to him because it almost unreasonable but certainly as you say here that always be careful of controlling himself and always knows the initial sign of addiction and when it has a strong push when tempted by something like a big victory It would be better to immediately avoid gambling as far as possible to avoid from dark future.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: January 28, 2024, 04:04:01 AM
Of a truth, gambling is not that bad but it's dependent on the gambler because if you gamble responsibly no one is going to say I'll things about you so it's just the way some persons play gambling as if their life is dependent on it even when they're going through numerous losses yet they will still keep on gambling and doesn't have anything tangible to do with their life. Greed is also a major challenge that affects gamblers because some of them do win but afterwards take majority of the money they won to stake again with the mindset of winning big which is a very bad habit.
I always say here and in other thread that gambling has never had an error because the business industry was built with the aim of providing a gambler place to have fun with a small amount to be able to get entertainment and indeed all of that is only about whether a gambler has responsibility or not.

but the problem is about the madness of gambling addicts which means we discuss about gambling addicts who have done many things beyond the limits that harm themselves even harm others not about gambling in responsibility.
I know if gambling addicts are caused by a gambler who does not have full responsibility for gambling that causes his mind to be very bad to have different assumptions and think that gambling can be an income sumbet.
for example, a gambler is used to bet every day to get a win but after that gives excessive sensation and changes the gambler assumption to keep trying to get bigger results without realizing he is betting out of the limits and spending most of his money.

and after the money is finished the addict will regret and have the desire to pursue all the losses and try to find a budget to gamble but by stealing.
This is what we discussed that the madness of these addicts gives a bad example to gamblers not to follow this way and being a healthy gambler is the best choice.

-snip

You can come back again a few days later, don't gamble every day because it could risk you experiencing significant losses, do it once or twice a week and never exceed your limits and most importantly, consider gambling as entertainment, not to seek profit.
anyone can gamble whenever they want, even if they gamble every day, there will be no prohibitions for anyone, but with the condition that they must have great responsibility, have good control and be able to manage their finances well.
like for example you try to gamble every day with a budget of $100 10% of your income and you only bet on sports bet and every day you bet $2 on sports bets.
well, $2 x 30 days you only spend $60 in 1 month and still have $40 left to bet on casino games.

from everything I said, this is indeed bit inaccurate with the title of this thread, but if you understand the true meaning, it always know what you want to do and limit yourself when things feel bad and also manage your finances best as possible as you said.
one of the best examples like the topic title is always knowing when is right time to stop gambling and its the same as trying to manage your finances well.

    and if it's a fiat casino, I would prefer to seek recommendations from friends who have tried the casino before and I trust my own friends more than influencers.

    *depending on whether the casino recommended by other people can provide comfort in terms of visual graphics or game models, there are many things that can make me comfortable and if I feel that the new casino provides something different and makes me feel happy, I will feel highly satisfied.

    *nope, I will never recommend something risky to others because gambling is one of the very risky activities if a person is not able to control himself it can make his future very bad.
    however, if there is a beginner who wants to try gambling and has the desire to ask me and is willing to accept all the risks, I would recommend it.

    *of course, this can be done as a form of the casino's concern for gamblers who have become customers at the casino and give a lot of money and when one of the customers has a problem the casino should be able to provide efforts equivalent to what has been given by the customer.
    this effort can help improve the reputation of the casino to give confidence to other gamblers not to hesitate to gamble at the casino.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 27, 2024, 10:39:37 AM
Napoli's point difference with the leaders is 20points so it is very unrealistic to chase to become the Italian league champion.
What is realistic is the European zone ranking next season both in the European league and the champion league.
The point difference in rankings 4-10 is also very tight competition, the point difference is only 3 points. so the struggle to enter the champion zone is also very tight competition.
The competition to enter the top 4 of the standings is currently quite fierce and Napoli have lost a lot of points since the start of the season and their performance is also very bad at the moment with the problems experienced by the Napoli team so that they have not yet returned to their top performance.
Thus, I think it is almost impossible this season for Napoli to compete in the race for the Scudetto and to be able to finish in the top 4 of the final standings, it might be possible, but Napoli must be able to be consistent and improve their performance.
it difficult for Napoli if they want to catch up with Inter or Juventus which is very far from Napoli and it is true what you say that Napoli current task is not to dream too far but just reach 4th or 5th place in standings to get tickets to other competitions  next season but this competition still continues because the difference in points is very close and the highest position is only  top 3 in the standings because Inter, Juventus and Milan are guaranteed to get tickets to UCL next season.
until now, Napoli has lost its reputation, this team tends to always be inconsistent because of the various problems that all Napoli players have just had to face, such as the change of coach and Napoli problems with Osimhen and in one case, osimhen as Napoli mainstay player is currently experiencing very deep decline only able to score 7 scores from the 13 matches he played this season.

It looks like it will be impossible for Napoli to reach 4th or 5th position if they are unable to be consistent I'm sure Napoli will lose everything.
and I would like to congratulate Napoli management who at that time said they would sell Osimhen for €100m and this season Osimhen is only worth under €50m.

I have to be agreed about this all even all are going with their opinion, but things are surely going to be ideal for the big change as well because now they are having good chance of winning few titles and then next year surely they are going to play Champions League and exit of Mohammad Salah is also already settled mean they will have huge funds and few other deals are also coming so we can expect Mbappé will be here, and we will have one of the best coach as well which will keep this momentum and Liverpool will be stayed at this level, or they could be better from this level as well.

Currently, any prediction is not possible with how things will be at the end of this season it's also not sure but as we are having things right now most chances we will have better future of this club is surely having, and they can go much stronger and financially strong in coming days as well.
It's hard to believe that Mbappe will finally be able to join Liverpool because looking at the history of rumors and any news that is spread, Mbappe is closer to Real Madrid, even though Liverpool will be able to offer Mbappe a big salary, but the decision is all in the player's hands to determine which team he joins will have a career to win titles at UCL while the biggest opportunity is just to join Madrid.
for me, if Liverpool sell Salah and replaces him with Mbappe, it is an unwise decision because Liverpool is taking too much risk selling the best player and taking risks with a player who cannot guarantee whether he will make a contribution like Salah.

for me, something that is being discussed regarding Liverpool is just a temporary rumor because currently Liverpool is in positive trend so many media are linking this team with other talented players, but I still believe Mbappe will choose Real Madrid as his home for career.

We all know Mbappe is almost one of the players we can never predict his next destination and he usually changes his mind at the last moment. For example, we have been waiting for Mbappe for years to play for Real Madrid and he even said that he wanted to play for Real Madrid but extended his contract with PSG because of the more money they got and more pressure from PSG. I think Perez will obviously keep trying to hire Mbappe but there is still the chance for Mbappe to stay in PSG just like the last time because PSG will not let him leave easily.
therefore we will be shown again by the latest drama from PSG who are trying to force Mbappe to stay at PSG but it won't be too long because Mbappe is nearing the end of his contract so when his contract expires Mbappe can have the right to decide where he will go and the management PSG will not be able to ban him from leaving again.
there is no guarantee that what I said will come true, but I am just a little curious what will happen to Mbappe in June and if in june Mbappe stays and extends his contract with PSG, I am sure he is player who thinks about money, not career.

something even more ridiculous I experienced from myself, there are lots of similar advertisements or promotions but maybe most of the audience already knows about this type of fraud and one day I got lots of messages from one of my social media giving the exact same offer as you said and there are also those who offer to register on a certain site using a certain deposit amount and promise to give me a win of at least 3000x in a certain slot game.

this is ridiculous in the era of technological development, many gambling scams are exploited by fraudsters to make money instantly but by deceiving other people.

What Sevilla is experiencing this season is beyond many people's expectations, this is a big surprise because they have made a lot of squad changes and they should be better than last season but in fact that is not the case, currently Sevilla is very close to the relegation zone.
This season is still quite long and I am sure that a team as big as Sevilla will do a lot to avoid relegation and I believe they can do that.

And another surprise was Girona, no one thought at the start of the season that Girona would be in the top flight, this was like being swapped between Sevilla and Girona.
every season there are always changes to the teams in a league and the conditions currently experienced by Sevilla are not just this time, in fact other teams have also experienced a decline in performance like this.
Sevilla is one of the popular teams in La Liga even though it is threatened with entering the relegation zone, but that will never happen considering that Sevilla is the holder of the most european league titles. this team will not just give up and maintain its reputation.
regarding Girona, which is in very good form at the moment, it's just luck for Girona to be able to take advantage of the situation when several popular La Liga teams are having problems and try to continue to get points in every match, even though this is just luck, I admit that Girona has pretty good consistency.

btw, regarding Almeria vs Alaves yesterday I said to someone who still had faith that Almeria would win, I said that it would never happen because in terms of depth Alaves current performance is stronger than Almeria so it is only natural that Alaves gets 3 points from beating Almeria.

Addiction to gambling is not a problem for some gamblers because there are some gamblers who are addicted to gambling, but it doesn't affect the other activities of their life. They take care of their families, wear good clothes, smell nice, meet up with appointments but still cannot control the urge to gamble. It doesn't affect their life because they can afford to gamble and manage the loses they make. So, to these people addiction is not a problem. They are addicts, but because they are successful, their addiction is ignored or excused as it is not a problem.
So I am need to know, is addiction only bad when it is a problem?

If you say it's related to addiction but say about the word I marked, I'm sure it's not an addiction.
addicted are those who cannot bear the losses they experience so their thinking drives them to continue gambling to try to beat the casino and recover their losses until they lose control ignoring everything they see and all they have in mind is gambling.
addiction is also not about whether he wears neat clothes or uses perfume but this addiction is about someone who loses control to continue gambling and spending money.

I admit that there may be a gambling addict who gambles every day but financially he is fine, doesn't damage his family's economy and can always be like an ordinary person, but believe me, he is definitely a big businessman who has a very large income every month.
so there is no problem if he is addicted to continuing gambling because he has a large income and is not afraid of running out of money, whereas with a bad gambling addiction they think about wanting to make more money.

So it is clear that Benzema has to rethink the price of the contract he has. Because if he continues to charge very high prices, it will most likely be difficult for him to move clubs and will definitely have to stay at Al Ittihad.
Benzema is facing similar problems like Cristiano Ronaldo two seasons ago. He is older, has more problems with injuries, his body and fitness that all make his appearances for this club becomes less and less with time. His contributions for his club includes goals will become less and less over time.

Any big club that wants to have Benzema will have count those potential problems into consideration and because they also will have to pay him lucrative salary, they have many more reasons to be reluctant to complete a transfer and personal deal with Benzema.

Benzema must think of his career and what he wants most in this very last seasons of his career. Money or chance to play for big clubs, he only can choose one, not both.
when we discuss the age of a football player, it will affect a player performance, it is true, but if we compare Ronaldo with Benzema, Benzema is actually much younger than Ronaldo, but in fact, Ronaldo is still in very good condition, scoring big scores since the start of the season, whereas Benzema has Under age Ronaldo did not have a good performance for Ittihad.
I'm trying to think logically that actually this is not due to age but a strong desire to make the best contribution and I'm sure there are other problems that are driving Benzema to not be able to perform like Ronaldo and I'm just trying to guess if Benzema is actually uncomfortable being at Ittihad so his performance cannot be optimal, whereas in the SPL it should be an easy match for Benzema because he is a professional european player who has enormous experience in europe so competing in the SPL should be an easy challenge.

yep, I support your argument because for players who are a little older there will definitely be pros and cons related to market price and on the one hand any big team will always consider giving big salaries to older players so the team will give small salaries while Benzema wants to get big salary before retirement and the best option is to stay at Ittihad with a big salary but Benzema must try to make a good contribution to help Ittihad win the title.
