Yeah, in European competitions I will say Liverpool has been better than Arsenal because Arsenal have never won an European competition whereas Liverpool have won 14 European competition in the club history so by this analysis you can see that Liverpool is far better than Arsenal, even for some seasons now you will see that Liverpool have been more consistent than Arsenal.
It is very clear if Liverpool is better, they ever won the trophy but Arsenal never won it.
But it doesn't mean that Liverpool is stronger than Arsenal. It will be very different when we analyze the squad quality. I think Arsenal squad is more competitive than Liverpool for this season. They prove it that Arsenal is leading EPL standings, meanwhile Liverpool is in 2nd place. However, no one doubt that both teams are strong and very competitive.


1022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: December 06, 2023, 11:51:15 PM
Some gamblers believe that when you give up or cashout and go then you have given up your chances of winning more,this is usually the views of those that are addicts. So the idea for them is to continue playing and trying more luck . But for a random gambler or the newbie, a one time big winning is enough for them to run away feeling better despite how much that they have lost through the time before the winning. The losses are what an an addict consider more to keep going and not running away.
It is a wrong assumption. Cash out doesn't mean you give up, but it means you satisfy and do a logic decision. As long as you feel satisfied with the prize, nothing wrong to cash out and enjoy your win. No one can guarantee you will win again if you continue to play. Don't forget that there is a chance for losses if we force ourselves to continue playing.

You're right, for average/common gamblers, they will prefer to cash out when they win big prizes. They understand that they may be not lucky in the next attempts. It is too risky to do more attempts, moreover if we use bigger money for playing. Instead of winning more, we even can end up with losses. Sure, only addicts that force to play more and never feel satisfied.

Getting rich from sports betting sounds impossible, but many gamblers have succeeded in doing that, some have even succeeded in building their own house from gambling, but not everyone can get luck like this, especially since gambling is something that really depends on luck, gambling will always happen continues to be tempting, but everyone who wants to gamble must be aware that the mere pursuit of victory in gambling leads many people astray and in the end many people end up losing/going bankrupt instead of making a profit.
Among many gamblers around the world, there should be some gamblers who succeed in betting. Sure, those successful gamblers can build houses, buy cars, have some lands, and many other things. However, we don't deny that there are also many gamblers who failed in gambling. Since it is about luck, not everyone can have the same luck. If all gamblers have the same luck, no chance for the gambling sites or casinos to survive. So, we must keep in my mind that we must always think logically. Although becomes rich isn't impossible in gambling, but the chance for losing money is also very open in gambling. Just gambling with reasonable amount of money, don't be easily influenced by the success story of few gamblers!!

Xabi Alonso have done impressively well for Bayern Leverkusen so far and I must say that he has been a good manager and should he continue in this awesome performance for Bayern Leverkusen he will really be attracted by bigger clubs to sign him as their manager, he has done a great job for Bayern Leverkusen and I believe they may really be up to something this season.
You're right. Xabi Alonso have done a great job in Leverkusen. He really improved Leverkusen to be a strong team in Germany League. They even become the candidate of the champion this season, they are leading Bundesliga table so far. They are unbeatable until now, this simply shows us that they are in the best condition under Xabi's management. Sure, this makes many top teams interested to hire Xabi Alonso. I ever heard the rumor that Real Madrid may consider to hire him as the successor of Ancelotti. But I think Xabi will prefer to stay in Leverkusen for few years. He needs to prove to all people that they can succeed with Leverkusen.

I'm happy to see Juventus race for the first place in the Serie A because I was predicting to see Juventus win the Serie A and I can even bet on this team because I'm totally sure that Juventus is in the good form enough and because of not playing in the Champions League like other teams do, they can have higher chance compared to Inter Milan.
Don't underestimate Inter Milan. They are also in a good condition this season. If we consider the squad quality, I think Inter Milan is a bit better than Juventus. However, Juventus can focus for the domestic competition, meanwhile Inter Milan has UCL matches. They also qualify for the knock-out phase, which means Inter Milan will have busy day in UCL against stronger teams. This is the advantage for Juventus because they only need to focus on Serie A matches. Their players must have a better preparation due to a longer time for resting. However, since Inter Milan is leading the table, they still have a higher chance to win it.

Juventus are not playing in many competitions this season so it is advantageous for them to focus on Serie A and can also avoid player fatigue and injuries.
Yes, it can minimize the chance for injury and fatigue. But it doesn't guarantee that Juventus players will play better in the match. They only have the advantage in the physical side.

I am damn sure that PSG will come up with the next surprise for Mbappe. If he leaves, imagine what the damage would be on PSG as a brand in the world. I think these two terms "PSG" and "Mbappe" are firmly intertwined whenever you talk about PSG. I would be that in most places around the planet when you say a sentence like "what do you think about PSG" the answer would almost always include Mbappe. "Yes PSG, I know, Mbappe is the best player".
I also guess it but I don't know what PSG management will do.
Sure, PSG and Mbappe seems like two inseparable things. People will be always linking both PSG and Mbappe. PSG also becomes a very popular team because they have Mbappe in their squad now. Their popularity will be decreasing if Mbappe decides to lave the club. However, I don't see something that PSG management can do to prevent Mbappe's departure.

This is what is valuable for Khelaifi and he will try to not lose it. But how much would he be willing to pay for it? At the same time Mbappe knows that his clock is ticking and he is getting older. If he wants to make history, he can't do that with PSG.
Mbappe already does his best for PSG. He won't think to stay anymore. I'm 100% sure he will leave PSG next year.  Wink

Liverpool can never afford to lose such match and they delivered well and moved up to be just two points behind Arsenal, and gave Manchester City complete four points. This match was a test for Sheffield United’s new manager, he tried but unfortunately he is playing with a world class team that’s why he lose.
It should be an easy game against Sheffield United, they are the weakest team in EPL. I even think there should be more than 2 goals. But winning the game with 2 goals, makes Liverpool to stay in 2nd place at least. I don't know why Liverpool attackers seem difficult to score goals in this match. They didn't play against a strong team, it is Sheffield United.

For the new manager of Sheffield United, I think he already tried his best in this match.

Manchester City lose another match today, they are now six points behind Arsenal and four points behind Liverpool, and their manager Pep is already making mouth that his team still remains the best in the league and they will
Win the league which to me I think is a mind game, unfortunately his team lost to Aston Villa as expected by Arsenal fans and others.
It is interesting to see the stats of Man City in the last 4 matches. They never won a single match in the last 4 matches. There is something wrong with Man City players, do they lose their motivation to win EPL trophy this season? Even worse in the match against Aston Villa, they only made 2 shot attempts. To be honest, it is shameful. How can Man City play like a mediocre team? Pep Guardiola must do something to return the performance of Man City.

Manchester United also won their home game against the blues Chelsea.
The won the match with a great performance. I saw they made 28 shot attempts, means they play very offensively. Ten Hag seems to change a bit his tactic. He also put Rashford in the bench.

1028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 06, 2023, 10:36:06 PM
Of course, 3 points must be obtained by Barcelona to reduce the gap in points. Currently their points difference is 4, if they lose, Barcelona will be further and more difficult.
If Barcelona still wants to join the race for the title, they need to shorten the point gap. Yes, the point gap is 4 now, they need 3 points to shorten the point gap with Girona at least. Barcelona needs to overtake Girona first before they target to overtake Real Madrid in the first place. This is the scenario of Barcelona for competing the title.

I feel pretty sure if Barcelona can get 3 points. In terms of quality, Barcelona players are superior. In addition, the performance of Barcelona players is in good condition after winning against Atletico and qualifying for the UCL knockout phase.
Of course, Barcelona has more quality players and they will play at home as well. Winning the match and get 3 points are a must, they won't share points with Girona. 3 points in this match will be very crucial, it will keep their hope for the title. If Barcelona fails to get 3 points in this match, we can assume Real Madrid will be the champion this season.

1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 06, 2023, 02:56:12 PM
I think players like Mane and Ronaldo came to the Saudi League and they are all in the one team hoping to see their teams win the Saudi League title and that's the first thing they want to get in this team other than the AFC Champions League. But currently, Al Nassr is far from what they want and they are not close to reaching Al Hila at the first stage of the league which can make some players even leave Al Nassr during the next transfer window.
Of course, all the European players move to SPL because they want to win the SPL title with their teams. Mane and Ronaldo must have the same intention as well, they don't only want to get big salaries but they want to get trophies, too. Al Nassr seems quite difficult to win SPL title this season because Al Hilal is leading with 7 points. But I think there is still a chance because there are many remaining matches. We can't claim Al Nassr is impossible to win the title as long as the season isn't over yet.

I don't think Al Nassr star players will leave Al Nassr in the next transfer window. They must stay in Al Nassr to struggle until the end of the season. If they leave, fans will feel very disappointed because they give up. Al Nassr star players are very professional players, I believe Ronaldo or Mane have no intention to leave Al Nassr soon.

Yes Manchester needs a striker, i think Ten hag rellies so much on Rasfhord having again a nother super season, but when he doesnt have that good season like we are seeing right now, you need a striker who brought you goals, and saves you.
Yep. Man United needs an experienced striker who can play as a real machine goal. Unfortunately, there is no many possible strikers who can move to Man United. Osimhen, Mbappe, or Lautaro Martínez seems no interest to join Man United due to complicated problem in Man United. Another reason, Man United seems difficult to win any trophy, that makes no top striker to dream joining Man United.

Also they need to stop making so many mistakes on defense and the goalkeeper.... no words for him.
This is actually the main problem of Man United. They have bad defense, they have no quality goalkeeper. I don't know why Ten Hag can't sign a top goalkeeper and hire strong defenders. I think they have no problem with financial stability.

The sixth match at home to West Ham will provide a slight advantage for them who of course would prefer to be group winners rather than having to go through the playoff round to qualify for the round of 16, so it can be said that West Ham will qualify compared to Freiburg, especially in the away match they can beat Freiburg well especially in the sixth match later as home team.
Both teams actually have almost equal strength. But since the next match will be held in West Ham home, we assume West Ham gets the advantage because they will play in their own field and with more supporters at home. I don't say West Ham must qualify for the next round. I just believe they probably qualify because they ever defeated Freiburg in matchday 2 away and they also will play at home. However, no guarantee West Ham to qualify, it depends on how the match will be.

West Ham's performance has indeed decreased in the English Premier League, but here they are still better and that is also what they showed last season, where European competitions had better results than local competitions.
We can exclude the factor of EPL matches. I also think it won't bring significant impact on the Europa League matches. West Ham players must have a better motivation to win the last group match of Europa League. They almost reach knock-out phase, they have a big hope to achieve it. They must realize if they go to play-off, the chance to qualify can be smaller because they will play a team eliminated from UCL.

1032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 05, 2023, 11:49:31 PM
You don't need to ask why OP did it, it's obvious that OP got addicted to gambling, I mean that's the only option as to why OP got in this pickle, no way that a healthy person could get to this level of depravity in gambling. I think OP gets the consequences of his/her actions, pretty sure that this is a cautionary tale to what gambling addiction does to someone financially, mentally and physically.
You're right. OP clearly stated that he is heavily addicted to a certain gambling game. It leads him to have a big loan in banks. The last loan he borrowed from bank was about $2180. Sadly, he lost all the money because he got a lose in gambling. I don't know why he has a very bad self-control whereas he said he suggested people to avoid an excessive gambling.

Sure, a healthy gambler will never this. We must know that it is not a wise idea to gamble with a loan money. There is no guarantee to win in gambling although we already experienced winning on the game several times. Even a professional gambler can lose the money, even worse for those who are just ordinary gamblers with very limited knowledge and experience like me.  Grin

1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: December 05, 2023, 11:39:05 PM
As everyone's income is not the same that is different from each other, the percentage that needs to be spent depends on the individual's income and expenses. If someone with a good income spends 12 percent a week, it will not be a problem, but for a person with a low income, it will behave negatively. Already some users have suggested using 5 percent which is definitely a good percentage for gambling. If a gambler regularly spends this small portion of their income on gambling then their gambling will not affect their personal life.
Dude, I think it is not about the percentage of the monthly income but it is about the amount of money used for gambling. If we are talking about the percentage, it can be the same for all level of financial status. But if we are talking about the amount of money, surely it will be very different. 1% monthly income of a rich person must be different with 1% of monthly income of a poor one. I hope you get the point!  Wink

5% is enough to use for gambling if you are just an average gambler. But if you are a professional gambler, you may use bigger percentage because you know well how to get bigger money from the gambling games. So, we can adjust the percentage of income to use in gambling according to our purpose. If the focus is for entertainment, we shouldn't spend much money.

1034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which good altcoins can I hold along with Bitcoin for the upcoming halving? on: December 05, 2023, 11:20:21 PM
This literally the first halving I'm going to experience since knowing about bitcoin. So I've already started holding Bitcoin and lately the progression  has been going well!!.So I've some Lil funds with me but I'm thinking of which good altcoins I can hold for the upcoming  halving, that's going to also skyrocket too. I was thinking about ETH, BNB and SOL. But still, I  need recommendations from you guys about the best altcoins to hold for the halving please.
Indeed, for some people, investing in altcoins is considered more worth it because of limited capital. because most of them hope to get multiple returns on certain altcoins when they are bullish or anti. Indeed, that does not rule out the possibility of it happening. Moreover, coins which in fact are still at a lower price and actually have a fairly high ATH compared to the current price, then the opportunity to get profits of more than 3x is possible. Such as ETH, BNB, automatic coins, and also old coins such as XRP and ADA whose prices are still small. but there's really no guarantee that will happen. However, at least the selection of top coins can be done to increase the possibility of profits. The important thing is that we don't choose altcoins that only rise because of hype, because that will usually drop easily and won't even be able to rise again.
Although in fact, investing in Bitcoin, whatever it is, can actually be more profitable, especially for the long term. Bitcoin is the most trusted and worth it.
1035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: December 05, 2023, 11:12:55 PM
A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount
Ah, it's like this again. I thought only my area or neighborhood was like this, but it turns out this might happen anywhere. I personally don't really believe in various promises from someone to pay it off when they come to us and are in debt. They often make very sweet promises and promises to return ASAP. But in reality, they might even forget about it when they receive our money. Therefore, based on my personal experience, which has been involved in lending money to other people many times, if someone comes, it is better to refuse. Or give him as little as he can and don't expect the money to come back to us, but don't give him the full amount of money he will borrow, only some money that we are willing to give up. unless it is related to the life and death of someone who needs the money for hospital fees.

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
Luck may not be the same. It could be that when you get your $10, it turns out you didn't get the winnings. It's true that your friend is wrong, but that doesn't mean that your luck in gambling is really the same as what you would get if you had $10 from your friend. So, be grateful for the victory and don't regret what has happened. If you are not sincere, keep contacting your friends to immediately pay off the debt. If he doesn't respond, what else can you do, don't let this disturb your consistency and activities in gambling, even though this is not easy, just do it instead of being disturbed.

My question do you include gambling in your new resolution, and what's your New Year's resolution about gambling?

Let's talk about it.
Resolutions for the new year are usually positive things. So, I don't know whether gambling is included in it or not. because actually gambling will tend to be negative for some people. Personally, this might not be so bad. But at least, as much as possible in the new year, if it is related to gambling, I think I will be able to learn gambling game skills more calmly, so that at least, I will be better at getting profits, not continuing to lose. At least, of course every customer wants bigger profits than this and also smaller losses. But all of that actually won't happen without effort, hard work and careful consideration on our part. However, there is nothing specific that I hope for and aim for in gambling in next year's resolution. just hope to be more self-controlled when gambling, and not depend on gambling which causes addiction.

But I was lucky not to bet on Atalanta winning and or both teams to score, because I only bet with the over 2.5 goals option and I still got my bet. Because ya, in my opinion, atleast Torino can sometimes play well too, so I believe that this match will result in quite good goals. Although indeed, I thought at first it would happen with both teams to score, but in reality only Torino could score with a score of 3-0. Obviously, this is a bad defeat for Atalanta but I think Atalanta have had enough inconsistencies like this every season that I'm not surprised anymore.
You made the right decision to not placing your bet on Atalanta.
We can see the results of their last 4 matches, it looks very badly. They got 3 defeats and 1 draw in the last 4 matches. It is a warning for every bettor to be careful to bet on Atalanta. They are very unstable now, it is difficult to expect them to win again like previously. I think their performance is decreasing because there are 3 defenders injured. Sadly, they also have some big matches lately. They are very unlucky, they have no in a good condition to maintain their good performance.

About the match against Torino, Atalanta have tried to score goals. They made more shoot attempts but they failed to score a single goal. They seem having a problem in shooting accuracy. Or the players lost their focus during the match, so they got difficulty in scoring goals. The coach must return their mentality.

But on the other hand this will be another stupid decision made by Mbappe if he survives and extends the contract again at PSG.
I know it is very good for finances but if he wants his achievements to be greater than now then PSG is not the right club for him if he expects more achievements.
Moreover, if we look at the drama that previously occurred, it is actually quite ridiculous if Mbappe continues to be at PSG.
PSG is indeed a very good club but only for domestic size, not big competitions so if in the end Mbappe decides to extend the contract again with PSG then we know what the end will be for Mbappe's future.
You're right, it is a stupid idea to stay a longer time in PSG. However, I'm sure PSG must try to keep him and make another sensational offer on the new contract extension. But Mbappe must be aware of his career, it never grows better if he always stays in PSG. So, we can assume that he probably prefers to leave PSG in the next year.

PSG is surely very dominating domestic competition but it never has a capability to win UCL trophy. Mbappe's dream is to win UCL trophy with Real Madrid, he wants a new challenge in a new league. So, I also think he won't be interested to consider a new contract with PSG. He needs a bigger club with a better history in winning international competition like UCL.

And what factors deceived you?
Please share your experience with me so that I can be careful in the world of cryptocurrency.

Scam projects that make them look like very legit projects, but it turns out they are just taking advantage of us, after they get it, they run away. I've experienced this several times, fortunately I didn't put money into their project, but at that time I participated in their bounty program several times. worked for several months and finally got nothing. And it turns out that they are indeed scam projects under the guise of legit projects. Even though I have analyzed the project and it looks very convincing, in reality, it is really a scam.

Apart from that, we often come across airdrops with the promise of big prizes. However, one of the conditions is to enter important data from us, some even ask them for private key or private key data or send a certain amount of funds to their platform to disburse the prize. This happens very often. And in reality, there are still many victims who are caught in scams like this even though it has happened many times.

About the formation if i am not mistaken Guardiola was often to used 3 defender for each matches whether it against weak teams or against big teams so i don't think he will change this formation but indeed i have been noticed Manchester City defensive lines was so weak recently and the combination between Gvardiol, Walker and Ruben Dias has unable to showing solid defense even in the last 2 matches Manchester City have already conceded 5 goals
Indeed. Pep Guardiola may often use 3 defenders and it was quite successful previously. But if it is no longer effective recently, Pep should try another formation with 4 defenders. As far as I know, Pep ever used the formation 4-3-3 when he managed Barcelona. It was very successful, Barcelona have a strong defense with 4 defenders. However, Man City needs a strong left back if Pep applies 4 defenders. He already has Gvardiol (CB), Ruben Dias (CB), and Walker (RB). He needs a strong LB (left back).

Attack is the best defense, it also supported by Manchester City's players who're better in attacking than defending. If you check their previous matches, they've better result using 5 forward players than using 4 defenders.
Attack may be a good way to keep the defense safety. But if Man City has weak defense, a team that use a good counter-attack will easily beat them. A strong team must have good balance in every line. They mustn't only to focus on attacking, they also need to focus on building a strong defense. It will be useless to score many goals if the opponents can score more goals.
