Leipzig is an average team. Real Madrid is above this in terms of squad quality. Of course, the absence of Bellingham will affect them badly, but still, the remaining players are good and have the quality to take the team to the next round. Of course, Real can advance by winning 2 matches, but even in the worst case scenario, I think they will advance. Even if they lose in this match, they will advance to Spain.
I don't see Real Madrid having issues winning Leipzig,  they don't look to me like they will have any challenges at all doing that, winning Leipzig in their champions league game tonight, Real Madrid has a goal to win the champions league this season, they will not want to stop that dream at this point.

I'm very optimistic about Real Madrid advancing to the next stage of the champions league this season and probably advance even beyond because in the current form and strength of Real Madrid and their experience they have with champions league, they are definitely not going to give a chance at Real Madrid to win the trophy this season as they have not had the trophy for a season or two now but the defending champions either isn't willing to let go of the trophy but wants to set the records of winning in a roll all at once.

Chelsea is a team that has strength but they can't maintain their consistency to be able to finish in the European zone. It's indeed difficult for Chelsea but that doesn't mean it's impossible for them. With the squad in the Chelsea team, they should be able to get that and the journey this season is still very long and Chelsea can still fight for it.
The strength of Chelsea is actually relative as they don't show strength all the times it's more like their strength are exhibited at times when they feel or appear superior than their opponent and this is usually displayed outside them playing in the premier league because their performance in the premier league is not consistently good.

Chelsea can still be able to fight for the Europa place on the premier league table this season, they are quite far from it but then they still have a chance at it and they have a squad with which they can attempt getting that, but I'm most certain about them not been able to get a spot at the champions league next season because their performance isn't such that can give them a chance at the champions league even by next season as the top four team already are even strong team who aren't willing to let go of their position to another team nay soon.

As a gambler you should be able to know that lost is mostly recorded in gambling and for that if gambler keeps taking records of whatever activity that is going on within their gambling activity I believe it would either discourage them to keep gambling because when the lost is much more then they won't have that feeling to go gamble anymore though some gamblers doesn't care about their lost for any reason because what they most counts is their future benefits, most people are always optimistic of what could come next or maybe if they quit gambling their is no time something could come or possibly for them to hit their targeted games.
Usually most gambling site do have records of both your loses and your wins so it's very possible to see your records if you want to see them anytime you wish but then it's not a very healthy practice to always check on your losses as it will not do you much good as it will harm you, seeing these records could lead to a whole lot.

You may be tempted to want to chase losses or want to recover all that you have lost going by the record and in some cases it doesn't end so well as you my later on loose even much more than you have lost before you started embarking on your journey to recovery of that which has been lost in cause of gambling all along, it's better you just budget and stick to your budget, that way you will be loosing that which you can afford to loose and it will cause you less stress than it would when you are aware of how much you have lost so far.
1024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: February 12, 2024, 04:29:00 PM
While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?
I think for some TV channels they usually advice parental guardians for some programs that are rated as such so for such program we could ask the children not to watch such channels, for TV where there's parental controls on them they would permit such to be shown on the tv as the parental control will cause a restriction on the channel.

I'm actually advising the usage of parental controls on our TV if we don't want our kids exposed to certain things as this because when they are exposed to it they would ask questions as it's in their nature to be curious and want to have an idea into almost everything they see around so the only way out will have to be to reduce their exposure to such things, for kids channels the don't permit such ads because they know the kids aren't their target audience and so such shouldn't be displayed on their channels but in a case where they happen to see it probably when you watching TV with them you could tell them to ignore it as it doesn't concern them.

Ten Hag believed in Onana and forced De Gea to leave the club. The coach did not want to keep De Gea in Manchester Unites as a substitution for Onana.

The Nigerian goalkeeper seems to go through his hardest time in this season and against Aston Villa, he contributed a lot for the winning. Without some good saves from Onana, Manchester United would have lost this match and could not have chance to find a winning goal in extra time.
Onana isn't a Nigerian by nationality so that's a misconception so you should take note of that, and he's been not really helpful to Manchester united with his performance since he had been in Manchester united, he has concede goals much more than he had save, in most of the games he had participated in he has failed to perform well.

Ten hag actually made a mistake trusting so much onana to the point he couldn't give de gea a chance before he could let him go but then he just dis let him go without trying to see how well he will perform under his leadership now Manchester united had to suffer for that mistake of his, even in the AFCON where Onana left to perform few weeks back he wasn't used as their first choice goal keeper in his county Cameroon and he literally didn't participate in upto two matches.

Juventus vs Udinese seems to be the easiest match for us to predict the outcome of. Because Juventus as the host will really be the favorite in today's match. Meanwhile, Udinese, who will visit Juventus' headquarters, is of course currently feeling depressed because they remember that they have to face one of the strongest teams this season in Serie A. I think Juventus can score at least 2 goals in today's match.
Juventus isn't a team thst will have to suffer to win udinese if they are in their very good form and then thus for me is an opportunity for Juventus to close the gap between them and inter Milan even if I know it will have only but a very little effect on it but then it is supposed to go along way to helping Juventus maintain their position at the second place on the table.

Udinese is considerably an average team in the serie A and so Juventus who happens to be an elite team is like a big challenge to them and then Juventus has got something they are chasing at so they would most likely want to use udinese as a way of achieving more points to their driver getting to the top again and hopping to win the serie A this season but then I'm still in doubts if Juventus will be able to achieve that perfectly because the gap is already much and the time is few as the season as gone far past halfway already but then let's see how it turns out with this game.
1027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 12, 2024, 03:35:14 PM
It is indeed difficult to control oneself and one's emotions when gambling, but we must continue to learn so as not to lose self-control. We can remain aware that we must continue to limit gambling activities and also understand the risks of gambling. Learning from other people's experiences is necessary so that we can know what they are facing and can learn from it and avoid making the same mistakes. And before we experience it, we can feel that it is similar to the experiences of people we know, so we can try to avoid it. By learning to control ourselves and our emotions, we can become responsible gamblers in gambling so that we can avoid losing a lot.
Self control isn't actually easy with anyone and this doesn't only applies to gambling, it also applies to our other aspects of our lives where we are trying to get as much as we can and at some point we loose control of our selves and end up doing something else that's not what we would have wanted to do.

Gambling responsibly will mean that we will have to apply the principle of self control because it's very important as our gambling habit is highly influenced by the way we are able to control ourselves well enough not to do certain things while gambling, which may include over gambling, chasing losses or trying to stake higher because we got too confidence in the fact that we have enjoyed some streak of winning in a period of time, but when you have yourself under control you will not be having issues with all these and gambling responsibly aswell too.

But Napoli is currently even worse in Serie A, ranking 9th. So we also can't expect Napoli to beat Barcelona. But after seeing Barcelona held to a draw by Granada, now we also can't hope that Barcelona will succeed in beating Napoli. This is very funny because the Barcelona vs Napoli match will be a match that brings together two teams that have experienced inconsistencies this season. It's just that in terms of rankings, Barcelona is still ahead in 4th place in the league. This is different from Napoli which was thrown all the way to 9th place. Last season these two teams were champions in their respective domestic leagues. But this season, both of them are having difficulty getting close to first place.  Cheesy
Barcelona isn't any better either so I aswell will not be expecting Barcelona to beat Napoli, moreover this is champions league an snot their various domestic leagues where they are usually able to put up any form of performance and be able to still get ahead probably because they are used to the style of play in their domestic league.

Barcelona has managed to maintain a fair position in their league table but then if you take a proper look at their performance, considering the fact that they don't have a really good defense, if Napoli is able to penetrate their defense well enough then they can be sure to beat Barcelona because Napolitano doesn't conceed as much goals as Barcelona do conceed in a single match recently, just that Napoli is suffering some kind of set backs recently and that has got a whole lot of effects on their performance generally  but then they could do better in the champions league as they don't have a really rough team to contend.

Both are not in good form, but Chelsea is still the team that is rated better in terms of ability to win. Chelsea needs to focus on strengthening their defense before thinking about goals. Before this trip as a guest, many difficulties were predicted.
I don't think Chelsea has too much promise of leaving the field with all 3 points against the home team. Currently, Crystal Palace is not in the best form, but when playing at home, it is a different story. Remember, Crystal Palace has just had a streak of 4 unbeaten matches on all fronts at home. If they play according to form, they are confident they will get points against their neighbor, Chelsea.
The chances of getting three points by the end of the game today is under so much probability for Chelsea as they are not in good form as aswell not consistent so it very possible they will be able to have a good performance deserving of three points but may end up in less than three points, probably share points with their opponent or go home with no points.

Chelsea has poor performance when it has to do with premier league games but in their other league games they seem to perform much better then they do at premier league and sometimes I really try to understand why that has been their recent style, although crystal palace isn't any better when going through their recent performance and results but them facing a team as Chelsea who seem like in almost same form as them will mean they will be able to come up with something good.

As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding  a game  to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.


These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.
I think lack of confidence at times is the main factor responsible for the occurrence of this which you stated in the topic, when you lack the confidence in your pick, you definitely would be indecisive about what pick to make and will be having such experience as stated in the topic but if you have the confidence them you will be stable about your opinion.

Making your picks before gambling, it's important you try to make propee analysis and be very definite about your picks, I was at some point suffering same thing because I was not sure of my picks at some point in time, this usual happens after I've made my analysis some times I get deceived by the odds given to these teams by the bookies so I will after making my picks feel that the probability is small and thats why the bookies gave probably a smaller or bigger odds to my picks so to be safe I will then change it but then if I'm confident enough in my picks I will definitely not fall such victim

Quit of the gambling was the dream of the gamblers who want to get away because of the gambling addiction.But the gamblers who want to get away should follow the certain steps in the gambling site.The proper training was the key for the gambling success and the people to get away from the gambling.The important one is money money handling on the gambling site.Plan the game with every betting with the less money in the gambling site.So the gamblers who want to quit should play the game with the small amount betting was the key for the game,the less amount risking will help the gambler not become a gambling addicted person in the gambling site.
The concept you are trying to put out isn't a bad one but it seems you have not been able to put it out in very clear terms but then I think from what I've red so far I understand you are suggesting the concept of good and proper risk management and money management aswell which isn't a bad idea which if used by the gambler they will be better gamblers.

For those who has been addicted gamblers, they still have hope of getting out of such addiction if they first accept they are addicted and are willing to seek help, a professional help will really go along way to helping them fix their gambling deficiencies, but then they will have to be willing to get that help they need. For those still gambling they need better strategy to help them stay responsible gambling and this includes both their risk management and bank roll management.
1032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 12, 2024, 02:43:30 PM
That's the only difference? Isn't it the same thing that is risky for poor gamblers because they don't have big finances like rich gamblers so this really affects them because they might have difficulty managing their finances. While rich gamblers like you said they are calmer because the expenses used for gambling are not too influential because they still have a lot of money, the risk is that if they spend too much money on gambling they will go bankrupt but if they use it appropriately then it is not too risky for rich gamblers.
Some times the difference is the fact that the poor doesn't have that much to risk and that's why it would want to look like that which the poor is risking is small but is we should look at it by the percentage of their worth it may turn out that the poor are even risking more because since their funds is small, a percentage of it could mean their betting bankroll.

The Rich gamblers if they should risk the same percentage some poor risk on gambling, I'm very sure a few of the rich gamblers may go bankrupt Sooner than they can imagine, but because this poor gamblers some times are just desperate and want to just make money gambling, they do not even consider this that much they just keep gambling till they finally exhaust their bankroll then they return to the casino the next day on a new bankroll, both rich and poor should always try to make sure they don't risk more than they can afford to lose so they can be on the safe side of gambling.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: February 12, 2024, 02:33:05 PM

No, you are completely wrong. Gambling has always been for men. I do not think that a woman can bet an amount of money unlike a man and can control herself in difficult moments and focus more than a man. We may find a woman betting because she loves gambling or because she only has money and it has nothing to do with if she is more capable to win than a man.
I'm yet to come across a gender based gambling forum or casino so by implications I wouldn't agree with you that gambling was or has always been for men, it's usually been populated by men as they are the ones who has mostly picked interest in it and not the feminine gender but there has been no restrictions in that regards.

The restrictions on gambling has always been based on aga and never on gender, there are woman who are very disciplined and have made a good career gambling, because they haven't been able to subject their feminine tendencies under much control and thst has given them an edge over other women who may want to venture in to gambling, there one thing about women and that's the fact they they take moat things to the extreme when they venture into it unlike men who would want to subject everything to much more control and that could be an advantage for the women because they will be able to but their discipline at the extreme nd be more responsible gambling there by turning out a better gambler over the male folks.

The people who do the gambling for the entertainment was very low,many gamblers doing the gambling for making money.Because money making in the current world with the business became the hard one.This was the cause for the gamblers choose the gambling as their earnings sources.Some gamblers try to make the gambling site as their full time job.But they need to understand this was the game,So the negative side in the gambling also the possible one.If the gamblers want to make the gambling as the source of revenue,it was essentially important one for the gambler to have the unique gambling strategy to make money.
Only but a very few does gambling for entertainment and fun and if you want to check it by percentage I will say by my point of view they are less then 10% gamblers who actually gamble for the sake of entertainment and fun, they others literally gamble to make money and that's why we have many who easily get addicted to gambling.

Making gambling as your full time job is so not reasonable because that would mean you setting up your self for disappointment except you have another means of income, a source that will help you cushion the effects of some bad and unlucky days that may set in els you may suffer bankruptcy from gambling which may possibly lead you to addiction in gambling aswell, most gamblers who gamble for the sake of been able to make money from gambling without having another source of income, easily get addicted especially when they are about exhausting their money and they begin to chase losses.

This season it seems like they learned a lot from last season's experience where they last season had a slumped appearance and even they were lucky enough that they could survive in the highest caste of Germain football. Maybe at the beginning many doubted them, but they can ultimately provide something different and can provide something that can make their supporters happy. Although they cannot become champions because it is quite difficult to do that, but at least they can be in the top flight and compete for a ticket to go to the Champions League next season.
Their performance has been such that deserves some commendations but they would have done better as they had every chance to, nevertheless stay amongst top four isn't really a bad one tho as I know they will most definitely be able to get a ticket to the UCL next season and that's a good height for them this season.

Las season Stuttgart had similar performance as that which they are having this season, they weren't that bad tho but I think this season started on a better note than they did last season, at some point this season they were seen around the top of the table and almost posed a threat at Bayern Munich but then they were yet strong enough to pull up such on Bayern Munich this season, their victory yesterday further strengthen their position amongst the top team on the table, now staying at the third position is very much fair enough.

Lyon is a team with a lot of history and they won't give up so easily. It is very important to turn the situation in your favor in order to get out of the relegation zone and remove this psychological pressure from the players when the threat of relegation to League 2 hangs over them. Now they have risen from the bottom, it may be easier for them to play, but they will not be able to rise so high in order to claim something, but they will be able to protect themselves, and begin to plan their future.
Getting out of the relegation zone is really an impressive move for Lyon as they now play at a very safe space, they are now three points away from relegation, their performance this season has been so poor they had to struggle out of the relegation which they currently at at the 13th position with 22 points after yesterday's victory.

The pressure on Lyon now will literally be minimal as compared to what it was earlier when they were not able to get out of the relegation, all they needed was a series of win which they have had two wins straight that has earned them their current position on the table, If they happen to loose two straight games again they still stand the risk of relegation once again but I think now that the pressure is less on Tham they will most likely perform better and try to stay away from relegation again this season.

Girona is a growing team. They cannot be on the same level as Real Madrid. There are only 4 or 5 teams in the world that can compare with Real Madrid. Girona spends the seventh least in La Liga. Their record contract is striker Artem Dovbyk for 7.5 million euros, only nearly 1/10 of the 100 million euros that Real Madrid spent on Jude Bellingham. How can they compare with Real Madrid. This has been a successful season for them, it will be great when next season they improve the squad with a few more quality stars. I still hope that will happen.
It's a big error to think that Giron was a match for Real Madrid Nas they were never a match at all and I have known that the fact that this season they were able to get their feet to the point we're they are able to be at the second position on the table was just as sign of growth and nothing more so they weren't yet rough enough to contend Madrid.

The team quality and squad depth or Real Madrid worth much more than that of girona and also have a very good quality and form that will not be equal with Girona on any level, Girona are just lucky this season and so they should enjoy their luck but if they can add some improvement to their style of play and make sure to stay consistent maybe they will be able to get a very good performance at the UCL next season but they should know that they are going to get more of experience from the UCl and not hope to win it just bad they will be unable to win the la Liga this season too.

Sure, the chance will be always 50:50. AS Roma is possible to beat Feyenoord because AS Roma has a better squad quality. However, Feyenoord is experiencing a good season, they performed well during this season. I think Feyenoord also has the chance to quality for the next round. Although the level of Eredivisie and Serie A are different, but we can see both AS Roma and Feyenoord have almost the same quality.
If I will be judging by team quality I will most definitely give it to Roma because they have got good squad and team depth but the issues lays with their recent results they have been getting across all the leagues where they are participating, they have not been getting very impressive results which could mean weakness on their side.

Feyenoord has got nice results and in their league they are at the second position even if the team at the to is ahead with over five points feyenoord still isn't in a bad position at all and I will say that they are doing really good and even if Roam gets lucky to win them, they are definitely going to have a hard time winning because feyenoord will not allow them o such an easy win, I had wished for Roma to win as they are more likely to be the favourite in this game but then wishes are not horses and in football many things are bound to happen.

Leverkusen's consistent performances in the Bundesliga so far certainly make it a tough task for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich are trying but they can't close the points gap with Leverkusen. The 5 point gap between the two teams is too much in the way Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are currently competing. Bayan Munich should not only win their next matches but also expect them to win the next matches so that Leverkusen loses against other teams. If Leverkusen loses points against other teams and Bayan Munich regularly gets points, then the points gap between the two teams will narrow.

Tuchel should change his strategy and improve his performance because it is very difficult for this team to do well in the Champions League with this kind of performance.
Hoping that Leverkusen looses so that Bayern Munich will get ahead of them is something I don't see really happening soon because I'd taught that Bayern will be able to beat Leverkusen but allowing Leverkusen to this victory has made Leverkusen to even have a better confidence as to the fact that they are now dominating the bundesliga.

Bayern Munich would have to hope on luck else they are gradually loosing the competition against Leverkusen as Leverkusen is aiming at two records, to win the bundesliga and to stay unbeaten aswell, which I see as very achievable by them if only they can maintain their form and consistency, Bayern Munich may end up without a trophy this season and that may means that tuchel may loose his job aswell but then I feel they will try their best at the champions league to get a good result from there.

We understand that the owner of AS Roma might give De Rossi's target to bring Roma in the 5th position and Roma still has the opportunity to get it but for the European League we don't know at least we have to give him one chance to see his abilities. This week Roma will play in the European League against Feyenoord and Feyenoord is not an easy opponent especially Roma playing away, previously Feyenoord played in the Champions League but were eliminated earlier so actually they are at a different level.
If the owners of Roma are wanting to give Rossi such a target I think they should make it a realistic one because the Season is already far gone and there's only but a little time for them to be able to fix all that so they should rather allow him to focus on getting the team to a better form and whatever position they finish at will be fine.

Finishing at the fifth position wouldn't get them to UCL next season so it's actually needless of the whole stress, their focus should now be on how much they will be able to get from the Europa they will be playing by this week, how to make sure they get through the play off because feyenoord isn't a weak team going by their performance so far, they will be able to give Roam a really tough game ahead so they should channel the effort into Europa than their domestic league.
