1101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 23, 2024, 08:11:31 AM
Looking at your analysis, yea, Realsociedad performance has not been encourage in some of the few match that day played lately but the fact is that Villareal is not better either, for me, I will say Real Sociedad is going to win Villareal, the season has not been a good one for villareal, the team has underperformed allowing many team's to count point with them, so I don't see any different result in this particular match, if we have to consider the odd you noted here such odd against villareal does not fail most times, so I believe that the favourite team in this.atvg which is realsiciedad will come out victoriously in this match unless their is a different pattern that will be exhibited by villareal in that game, though this is my opinion.
In fact, if we look at the overall performance of these two teams, in the last few matches there has been a slight decline in the quality of Real Sociedad and Villarreal, but if we look at the strength of the team, of course Sociedad is a little better and also the factor of them playing at their own home makes Sociedad's chances of winning are very big.

And I also see that in terms of motivation, there is quite a lot of motivation for Sociedad to be able to achieve victory to be able to compete fiercely in the race for the top 4 positions in the standings, so they will give everything to get 3 points, I have no doubts about the victory that Sociedad will achieve.
Last season Villareal finished in 5th position and managed to win a ticket to go to the Europa League, while this season they dropped very far and they are in 13th position. Meanwhile, last season Real Soceidad finished in 4th place and in fact even though they experienced a decline However, it is not as bad as Villareal because they are still in 6th position.

Talking about the chances of both clubs to win in this match, of course Real Sociedad has a bigger chance than Villareal. Moreover, they will also play as hosts in this match, which will make them more motivated to be able to deliver victory to their supporters. However, if we look at the performance of the two clubs in their last 5 matches, they have performances that are not much different, maybe that is something that Villareal can take advantage of to be able to steal points from this match.

I myself have a note for Villareal, this season they have had very serious problems in their defensive line, so that is what caused them to be thrown into their current position. Just imagine that they have conceded 47 goals in the 25 matches they have played in La Liga, that is a serious problem for clubs like them who usually compete fiercely in the race for European tickets. If they can't get better in their defense, then they will lose easily to Real Sociedad, so they must be able to prepare as best as possible.

While Barcelona being the favorite during the second leg should not surprise anyone that watched the first leg, at the same time it should be worrying that the only clear opportunity Napoli got ended up in a score, so Barcelona cannot attack recklessly during their upcoming match or Napoli could seriously punish any mistake they make on defense and get a surprising win that no one expected.
One clean chance and it immediately led to a goal for Napoli, it was like confirming that Barcelona's defense was fragile so that the opponent could create goals despite creating minimal opportunities. I think if Napoli are in a very good state they will be able to beat Barcelona in this first leg match. On the other hand Barcelona can create a lot of opportunities but they always meet a dead end so that every time they attack it is a lot of missed opportunities.

Anything can happen in the second leg later, and I'm sure Napoli will look different in the second leg later, because there is no other option for them to come out to attack, yes of course at the risk of creating gaps in the defense. Actually they can play total defense to bring the match to the penalty shootout, but that is also risky because with the continuous attacks it will be able to make them tired and at that time usually the focus will be unstable and that might create another gap for Barcelona to create goals.

If we look at the results of this first leg, Barcelona should not underestimate Napoli even though Barcelona will play at home and will get full support from their supporters. Napoli can do something surprising if they are not careful with Napoli, especially since they also have good attackers who can convert opportunities into goals.

Finally AS Roma could advance to the round of 16 dramatically, they managed to defeat Feyenoord through a penalty shootout which ended with a score of 4-2 for AS Roma's victory. In the first leg they drew 1-1, and in this second leg they also had to draw 1-1 in normal time so they had to continue the match to the penalty shootout. Feyenoord really made it dificult for AS Roma, even when they won I don't think it was a surprise.

In another match, Rennes managed to beat AC Milan with a score of 3-2, but that was not enough to make them win because in the first leg they lost 3-0 to AC Milan, with this result AC Milan has the right to qualify for the last 16 of the European League. Rennes apeared all out in this match, they tried hard to beat AC MIlan, but AC Milan was too strong for them to beat. In the end Rennes had to lift a suitcase early in the Europa League this season.

It is interesting to look forward to the results of the draw in the round of 16 later, will we see the favorite club club meet first? or everything goes as planned? I mean the favorite club clubs will be brought together after the round is getting closer to the final. Either way, it's quite interesting to see the comptition in the Europa League this season.
1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: February 22, 2024, 10:21:59 PM
If Casinos arent profitable then we wont really be seeing tons of it today but we are seeing the other thing around. So its clearly on whose really making money. Smiley
This is why as a gambler then you should really know that gambling is really just that for fun and not on making yourself that getting rich because once you do have this kind of mindset or
thinking towards it then sooner or later you would really be finding yourself getting wrecked by it.Therefore, it would be always wise on having those realistic approach rather
than on making yourself that delusional because this is where things becomes shit if you do have those kind of non realistic hopes and goals.

Exactly my friend, the point is that the real profit is for the casino itself and not for the gamblers, and logically no casino would be able to survive this far if basically gambling can really provide someone with income, and maybe we have often heard and seen the fact that losses are much more common or dominate than wins and that means your losses are profits for the casino and that's what casinos are really looking for.

So this is the reason why as you said that it is better and indeed more advisable for anyone to make gambling nothing more than a place to find entertainment when you have boring empty time, because after all the idea of making money by gambling will never work considering that the purpose of establishing casinos is to make profits for their own industry and I think there are also many cases or incidents that we can make evidence that when someone is too serious in their gambling activities based on the aim of "earning" then they usually end up suffering a lot of financial problems whether it's getting into debt or running out of all the assets they have.

But unfortunately most people who have just come or beginners they misunderstand what the odds mean, they think that it is very easy to realize the chances of winning in gambling when indirectly it is actually just a temptation so that gamblers can act aggressively or excessively in terms of pursuing something that actually does not have any certainty at the end of the session. So in essence, I hope that whoever it is, especially those who are new to gambling, will look at various sides rationally and consider it carefully before it is too late and regretful.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 22, 2024, 09:41:20 PM
There is no way one can gamble for fun and don't have small intentions of gambling for money.
But like I said, it has been made clear to the person that gambling is dangerous if you are using it to chase money, that the end result or outcome may be bad. It is easy for newbie gamblers to understand that. So if they gamble and chasing money and lost money often, they will know they have read about not chasing money while gambling is true. Gambling with small amount of money will give you a peace of mind.

If we refer to the dangers of gambling then obviously the best decision to make is "don't gamble at all", this is the best choice if you absolutely do not want to lose money for nothing, and if you still want to engage in gambling then obviously the choice is that you must be able to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session and never gamble with the idea and purpose of "wanting to make money" because it is a bad idea that you can never achieve unless you are a croupier or casino owner yourself.

After all, casinos are a business to benefit the house in the sense that anyone who tries to take advantage of the situations and opportunities that exist in gambling then usually the opposite happens is that you will actually lose a lot of money slowly and sometimes it's not realized. One of the reasons why gambling is better as a place to seek entertainment because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to always win at the end of the session, and as you said I hope that most novice gamblers can understand about the facts that exist in gambling so that they are not lost or wrong way that ultimately makes them suffer a lot of problems in their lives.

For your friend to be still working and have nothing to show for it, is that not enough lesson for him to learn? What other lesson would he learn, if not to reason and ask himself the question of what ''has he achieved from gambling" and what has he been using his hard job money for, that makes him unable to afford certain things for himself that he is supposed to, as someone who works?

As humans, there are questions someone would ask you, and you will begin to rethink your whole situation of why you haven't been progressing in life.

Your friend shouldn't be like, there is nothing to be done about his situation. He is supposed to feel pained and work towards finding means to save himself from addiction to gambling. Someone can't identify his or her problem and let it slide without fighting to overcome it by all means available to them.
Don't ever follow the footsteps of your friend because gambling doesn't suits in most our plans and our daily lives becomes affected. Perhapes we should strive because we aim at our own lay down targets. We should be finding means of becoming profitable in the real world, not minding our chances of losses. Besides this current world is all about taking risk, we become bold enough not to missed our opportunities but keep grinding harder to stake good profits. There are lessons learnt in the system, we just have to become extremely careful because the system is not friendly.

Most people are always influenced by what other people succeed in getting and one of them is in terms of winning, when other people or friends succeed in getting a big win, they will be really tempted and try to do the same thing with the aim and hope of winning. the same thing, it's like a new motivation and enthusiasm for them to return to gambling, which they even dare to gamble in a way that is too aggressive or doesn't make sense, even though on the other hand, as you said, in gambling, something that other people succeed in getting. We don't necessarily get that either, there is a lot of evidence that we can see and take into consideration, in the end it still all depends on how lucky you are during the session and each person's luck is different.

Never mind, actually there is nothing better than not gambling at all or quitting the world of gambling and it is better to think and focus on your own life, because when you continue to be involved in gambling then indirectly you will continue to spend money on the actual gambling budget. there is no need to spend if you are not involved in the world of gambling at all, in fact there is no profit in gambling but you will only suffer many things in life, especially losing balance in your finances as a result of the wrong approach to gambling in the long term.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble with what you can afford to lose can actually make a good investment on: February 22, 2024, 08:30:36 PM
I would just say that not everyone (gamblers) can afford to wait that long as investors involved in the world of investment do, actually I think the reason is obvious that one of the reasons they prefer to gamble is because they want "instant" results and there are even some gamblers who assume and think that gambling is a place to turn into a rich man quickly, but in the end you will find other facts during your journey and it is contrary to your goals, which instead of earning but what happens is losing money slowly but not all gamblers are aware of this.

On the other hand you suggest a good point here and maybe there are some people who will change their habits by switching to allocating their gambling budget into the world of investment, but we cannot close our eyes that there will still be people who want something instantly and one of them is in the world of gambling where you don't have to wait for days or months to get a profit like what happens in the world of investment, and the point is that the word "instant" is the reason most gamblers stay there even though gambling is not a place to earn.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: February 22, 2024, 07:54:40 PM

.. if they truly loved each other, money would not be split but rather shared.
.. if they did not love each other, then let the court or authorities do the solving depending on whatever agreement they can be settled with.

For me, it's a blessing in disguise that such a problem happened since at least their true colors are revealed before they can get married.

This means that there is a question mark in this matter, what I mean is that there seems to be another problem outside of the jackpot issue that made them decide to separate in the end, because if it is true that this couple loves each other it means that winning the jackpot should be a happy situation for both of them because of course it is money that they can use to create a business together or even plan to allocate the money for their wedding expenses, but what happened was the opposite where this couple decided to separate. On the other hand, I think that one of the couple was greedy enough in life that he probably claimed that it was his jackpot and the purpose of the separation was so that they could enjoy the winnings to the fullest. Another thing is that I have to agree with your idea that this is a situation that indirectly makes you realize that it turns out that it is not a suitable partner for you to keep, at least with this incident they can get wisdom that it turns out that the person they love is not the right person to take in a more serious direction.

We (LFC) will have to keep the pressure on by beating Luton at Anfield tomorrow. Lots of injuries but we should still be far too strong.
Liverpool must be able to keep the distance with Manchester City who have won narrowly yesterday then Liverpool must win at Anfield and it will be easily comfortable for victory even though there are several main players injured.

This match is 30 minutes earlier than the UCL match, unfortunately I will not miss the UCL match because it is an interesting competition, but I will never miss to see Liverpool's superiority through the news.
Liverpool managed to do their job very well in this match, even though at first they had difficulty penetrating Luton's defense, they managed to do it in the second half and they managed to score 4 goals to turn things around and seal victory this week. At first I was also a little surprised when I saw that Luton was so strong in the first half and they were even able to lead until the end of the first half.

Liverpool's distance from Manchester City is 4 points, but it will be 1 point if Manchester City wins this week. Manchester City's opponent this week is Bournemouth, who have never won a match in the last 5 matches. I think Manchester City will easily beat Bournemouth even if they play as hosts. Manchester City is too strong for them, and I think only luck can get them points in this match.

Let's talk a little about Arsenal, which is also trying to continue to compete for the title. They will face Newcastle this week, Newcastle is actually not an easy opponent to beat, but with their situation like this season, Arsenal has many opportunities to beat them to get full points and keep their distance from Liverpool and also Manchester City. Arsenal are also in very good condition with their winning streak in the last few matches.

Al-Nassr advances to the AFC Champions League quarterfinals. Otavio scored the first goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the second goal in the 86th minute. As always, he delivers when it matters most. Cristiano Ronaldo's late goal sealed the victory. He's simply the greatest goal scorer of all time, with 876 goals and still counting. Cristiano and Otavio sends Al-Nassr into the round of 8, while Talisca was absent. Talisca has been a key contributor to Al-Nassr's attack, but it's reassuring to see the team win without his presence. Hopefully, he'll return soon to continue his contributions.
Al Nassr played extraordinary, they did not let Al Feiha's game develop and as a result they were able to win this match with an aggregate of 3-0. They controlled the game and Al Feiha didn't even get the chance to at least create a chance in this match. Cristiano Ronaldo once again showed his sharpness by scoring 1 goal in this match, as well as increasing his total goal collection during his career. They were definitely in the quarter-finals now and they would face tougher opponents than their opponents this time. They have to prepare everything before the two-legged match takes place.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal also has the opportunity to follow in Al Nassr's footsteps, they will soon play the second leg match against Sepahan, they already have a 3-1 advantage in the first leg, and that will make it easier for them in this match. I am sure they will be able to do their job very well in this match, because they will also be playing at their home base. One interesting thing here, will Al Nassr meet Al Hilal again in the Asian Champoins League? if that happens it will be very difficult for Al Nassr, because this season they have always lost several meetings against Al Hilal and if they meet Al Hilal in the Asian Champions League, maybe it will be a nightmare for Al Nassr, or do you have a view? other?

Chelsea will host Tottenham in the 26th week of the Premier League. This will be a match that I think is difficult to predict because it will bring together two clubs that are in an unstable situation to date. Chelsea gets an advantage because they will play as hosts and they can use that to put pressure on Tottenham from their fans in the stadium.

Chelsea itself had just held Manchester City to a draw the previous week with a score of 1-1. This result was unexpected because previously Manchester City would have been able to win with the advantage on paper that they had in that match, but in reality Chelsea was able to show resistance which made Manchester City difficult and failed to win the match, the result was that they had to be satisfied with only winning 1 just points, something very good for Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Tottenham just received a defeat which was a bit surprising because they had to suffer a defeat against a club that was actually mediocre, and what was even more surprising was that they lost when playing at home. Of course, this will slightly disturb their mentality and could possibly have an impact on this match. Apart from that, I want to see these two clubs play as well as possible to be able to present a game that is enjoyable to watch. For betting, it looks like I won't bet on this match.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 22, 2024, 09:23:02 AM
I also think so, Osimhen is the best candidate to replace Mbappe, considering his track record in Serie A at Napoli club. If in the end PSG can make a more attractive offer to Osimhen, then it is very likely that he will join to PSG. Especially, if PSG can also provide huge salaries. But on the other side, Chelsea is also a rich club, and I don't think they want to lose the best time to get his signature.

PSG is a very rich team and they are targeting Osimhen because Mbappe wants to leave the team. Of course they will offer a contract with a large salary for Osimhen. But the problem is that Ligue 1 is like a farmers' league where PSG really dominates and it is easy for anyone who plays for PSG to win the title again.

If Osimhen wants to pursue a career and improve the quality of his game, I think EPL is a suitable choice rather than the French league. He will have more exposure in England and if he is able to compete with Haaland and Salah then of course Osimhen's market value will increase drastically. And if he plays in the English league, I'm sure people will always watch him play rather than play for PSG.
Well, I also see it not from the club's side but from the player's side. Maybe in terms of salary, players who join Paris Saint Germain will get a fantastic salary, but for their career, I think Paris Saint Germain or Ligue 1 are not friendly to young players who have potential. very large. Don't misunderstand what I said, I don't mean to belittle Paris Saint Germain or Ligue 1 at all, but we can see and give our own assessment of how the competition is going here.

In my opinion, Osimhen deserves to be in a more competitive competition than being in Ligue 1, and La Liga or the English League could be an option for him. But I also haven't heard any further news about Napoli, whether they will keep this player or let him go and take advantage of the sale of Osimhen. Because Napoli themselves still need the presence of Osimhen, yes, even though his performance is declining now, this cannot be separated from the overall decline in the team as well. We can't blame just one player for this.

Paris Saint Germain itself is definitely racking its brains to find a player who can replace Mbappe if he really leaves the club next season. Yes, it is not an easy task for them, especially as we know they are dependent on Mbappe this season, which is actually not good for a club.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 22, 2024, 08:51:43 AM
For Xavi Hernandez, I'd want to say he should have been supported this season but he wasn't due to Injuries and also financial challenges affecting them.
Some of them players Innit also are also not well piad by the club completely so I wonder how they want to be play with them hearts. Lack of support from the management and the Injured players absent affected Xavi Hernandez because he was same man who won the Spanish La Liga with Barcelona last season.

The most difficult position at the moment is probably experienced by Xavi. Last season Xavi brought Barcelona to La Liga champions in an extraordinary way. This was even done when the team was having financial problems.
Xavi returned the favor very well to Barcelona. however, the support from management was not that good and not what Xavi had hoped for. I don't think Barcelona will get a very good coach like Xavi with all the limitations that Barcelona has.
This season Xavi may realize it will be difficult to compete for the La Liga trophy. deciding to leave his position is also not bad in the eyes of fans. he has given his best for Barcelona.
What Xavi experienced at Barcelona was not as expected, when he was supposed to get full support, he didn't get it, on the contrary, he was constantly pressured to make Barcelona even better, the problem was when he had to achieve the targets set. by management at the same time he also didn't get something he needed, isn't management overreacting? In my opinion, management should be more introspective, because one of the things that caused Barcelona to experience something like this was themselves.

If Xavi leaves this club then I also have no guarantee that the new coach who comes will make them even better. And if the new coach who comes later doesn't get what he needs, maybe that coach won't be able to stay here for long, especially with the high targets they have set. Barcelona must solve their most basic problems first before they solve other problems, because if their main problem is resolved I am sure their other problems will also be resolved. And one of their main problems is the financial problem they are currently facing. Indeed, I understand that it will be a very difficult task to complete, but they have to find a way to solve their problem more quickly than it should.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 22, 2024, 08:28:52 AM

Now several teams will only compete to finish in the top 4 to get UCL tickets next season, Atalanta is currently in top form and there is also the Bologna team which I think will be a surprise this season and Roma is also improving in performance so this will indeed be the case. competition is fierce and difficult to predict.

Inter Milan, Juventus and Ac Milan are almost certain to get slots in the Champions League next season. The competition took place in the fight for fourth place. I think Atalanta, Bologna and Roma will compete fiercely to get the final champions league ticket. I favor Atalanta who will get fourth place in the standings. Their performance is very good and consistent. But they have the same points as Bologna. It will be difficult for Atalanta because they have to maintain the consistency of their game if they don't want their position to be shifted by Bologna or Roma.
I agree that it is very likely that 3 of the 4 slots have been filled by the three clubs in the top 3 of the standings, but for one more slot it will still be an interesting fight. Atalanta and Bologna currently both have 45 points, but Atalanta still has 1 match yet to be played, and in next place is AS Roma who are still trying to catch up with 41 points. Their level of consistency will largely determine whether they will be able to go to the Champions League next season or just be satisfied with the Europa League or even not get a ticket from both.

Now the competition is still quite long and that will make us continue to analyze what it will be like in the future, what is clear is that they must be able to get good results in every match they play every week.

Then I will invite you to look at the bottom of the standings. Salernitana is at the bottom of the standings with only collecting 13 points, it is very difficult for them to catch up to the 7 point difference from the club which is in the safe limit. In the next position is Cagliari and then Verona, these two clubs are still very capable of getting out of the relegation zone, because they have a fairly tight point difference from the clubs that are at the limit of the safe zone currently occupied by Sassiolo. I would probably argue that Salernitana will be the first club to be relegated this season.

Take care when you bet on this kind of game, they are a fucking lottery man, we think we know everything about football but in this tournament you never know what to expect, the weak teams are making a lot of surprises in the recent years, and some big teams tremble when they play.

Shaktar can take out Marseille for example.
Yes, you are right, if you want to bet in a match like this then we have to be really prepared for all the surprises that will occur in each match. Even though the European League is the second caste after the Champions League, most of the clubs here will still do their best to make sure they can really win in every match they play. I agree that we will never know what will happen, even though we consider ourselves experts in predicting a match, but that still doesn't guarantee that our predictions will actually happen in that match.

I don't think it's only here that clubs that are not considered strong give surprises that were previously unthinkable. The top competitions in Europe also provide many surprises, such as the English League, La Liga and other leagues in Europe. Like the week that just ended, for example, Bayern Munich lost against Bochum in the Bundesliga, Juventus had to be satisfied with a draw against Verona who are in the relegation zone and many more.

Yes, Shakhtar's opportunity to beat Marseille is wide open after they could only draw in the first meeting. But of course Marseille will appear as favorites in the second meeting because they will play the match at their home base, but once again I would say that does not guarantee victory for Marseille even though they appear in front of their own supporters.

Dortmund almost became German champions last year and only some sort of curse prevented them from beating Bayern. So Dortmund is a very strong team that can play on equal footing with the strongest groups, which is proved by the fact that from the group with PSG, Newcastle and Milan they went to 1/8 Champions League.

They should have won the match with PSV, but the referee awarded an extremely controversial penalty, which should not have been awarded, because the Dortmund player played into the ball, not into the feet of the PSV player and because of the referee's mistake Dortmund lost 3 points.
There is no doubt about Borussia Dortmund strength, and they surely can go into next round with their performance at home in second leg match even I am also feeling this penalty was not right, but now all ended with draw and good for the German giant to improve their performance in coming weeks for having good chance for the next round qualification PSV also done good, but they need more experience and quality performance for this level.

Overall both teams done good job in this game and having equal chances but still I have feeling Borussia Dortmund can do better, but they are having some problems in last few weeks which are not allowing them for having enough goals but still their chances are good for having good end in both leagues.
This is an unsatisfactory result for PSV, because they played at home and failed to win the match and it is clear that even though Borussia Dortmund could not win, they will play at home in their second meeting, which means they will be more favored because they will play in front of the fans. their own supporters.

In my opinion, the match was balanced, so this draw is a fair result for the two clubs playing, even though there was disappointment within the hosts. The opportunities they created in this match were not much different, only PSV had several advantages. Borussia Dortmund was able to steal a goal first in the first half, to be precise in the 24th minute and the score remained 0-1 until the end of the first half. In the second half PSV started to respond and in the end they got a penalty which was executed well by Luuk de Jong which made the score equal and it lasted until the final whistle sounded to signal the end of the match.

Borussia Dortmund are in better condition, but they cannot just underestimate PSV, because it has been proven that in this match they can provide resistance that can make the game even. There is nothing impossible for PSV to beat Borussia Dortmund at their own headquarters, as long as they can play very well. I gave bigger odds on Borussia Dortmund, but it's not too big either, I think 60% for Borussia Dortmund and 40% for PSV are fair odds.

The second defeat means that Girona and Barcelona are only two points apart, so next week at least Barcelona can take advantage of the moment when they host Getafe, at least get full points so they can move up to second place even though the title is confirmed to belong to Real Madrid, at least that can improve the quality.  Barcelona's game in La Liga, plus Barcelona will face Napoli tonight at least they won't run out of stamina when they host Getafe this week, they have a busy schedule this week.  At least you can maintain the players' stamina so they don't lose important points in the next match.
Getafe is not a bad team this season so in this weekend's match Getafe could make Barcelona fans disappointed because they remember that Barcelona themselves have not been doing well so far. Meanwhile, Girona still has a chance to maintain its second position this season if it doesn't lose again in the upcoming matches, but for Barcelona I still really doubt it will get second place this season. Apart from that, Atletico Madrid also still has the opportunity to catch up with Barcelona in points if they can continue to improve in the remainder of this season.
Girona is slowly declining in appearance, in the last 5 matches alone they have experienced 2 defeats and one draw, this proves that their performance is indeed declining. This has been discussed before, yes we all speculated whether they would be fine throughout the season or they would show a decline and now we see them declining and having to fall further behind Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings.

Now they only have a 2 point advantage over Barcelona who are directly below them, which makes them even more vulnerable to being overtaken by Barcelona. I think they will be displaced in the near future if they can't show quick improvement. The results achieved by Girona in the last few matches have created a big advantage for Barcelona, even though Barcelona is also not in a good condition, in fact Girona is approaching itself.

Girona's next match will host Rayo Vallecano, on paper they have the advantage over their guests. I think they should be able to take advantage of this match very well, it is an opportunity for them to win again after failing in the last 3 matches they played. If they fail again in this match, then it will be something very disappointing for them.

I didn't quit gambling because I still do it occasionally but I am not as active as I used to be. It sucks to be in a position where you the losing streak is more frequent than the winning streak, any day, any time. I know that is how online gambling works because it's a business but in a week without even feeling any profits seems to be unfair anymore. That's why that "provably fair" thing should be in question. Is that a legitimate feature or is it just there to encourage gamblers to keep on gambling?
It's true, it's not exciting anymore when that happens. This is why I prefer betting on sports now and I do it only when I like the game and it's national televised.

Yes to the problem of winning or losing is normal in gambling and to the problem of losing streaks obviously it is also a natural result because you have also mentioned that this is a business for casinos where they seek profit from losing gamblers and that means your losing streak is a big profit for the casino. This is why we should have a good approach to gambling, try to treat the gambling activity as it is, or what it means is don't overdo it and don't put any expectations on the results at the end of the session because as we know that the percentage of losses is much greater than wins and wins always depend on how lucky you are at the time of running the session.

Honestly I would not claim that gambling is "unfair", we have to go back to the initial understanding that after all this is nothing more than a game of probability or meaning "possibility" that does not have any certainty about the outcome, and with you understanding all the basic aspects that exist in gambling then you will be able to treat this activity according to what many people always suggest, The point is that we must be able to see and consider all sides rationally, and yes maybe I will agree with you that it is better to be involved in sports betting than pure luck because you can apply analytical skills that can indirectly make you closer to winning, but it is still mandatory for us to apply risk management wherever you are involved.

Oh, and I have lucky days too. Sunday and Monday. That's when I feel like I am in the bonus rounds because Plinko keeps on giving me the highest multiplier in an 8-liner high-risk option. But I have to stop at some point because it will try to take it all back if I continue.

Anyway, some will say it is just a superstitious belief but what if it keeps on happening?
How about you? Do you have that one day when you feel like you are not even winning whatever you do or whatever game you play?

For myself I honestly don't have an unlucky day or lucky day when it comes to gambling, I don't know that because I don't gamble very often and when I want to gamble then I never look at what day or what time, so I do it randomly in terms of time and day, basically when I really have money and want to gamble then I will do it so that way I don't have any indication or feeling that makes me claim that it is my lucky day. I think spending 7 hours gambling like you did is too long and for me it's quite boring, because I usually only gamble for about 2/3 hours at most, no matter what the result is even if my funds are still in the gambling account then I will usually withdraw it again even with the same amount that I deposited at the beginning, but if your goal is to get a weekly or monthly bonus roll then maybe I would say that your actions are quite reasonable.

For the problem of luck, what I believe and I believe is that luck can always not know when it comes and when it goes so maybe I will not really believe that there are certain times that can make me or anyone always lucky by winning, because after all gambling is always unknowable for the problem of results.

I think this is a very bad decision if they split because they won the desktop while if they already had problems before as a couple it is a right decision.Now if they really split because of the jackpot win they have made a really bad choice as with that amount they could have opted to start a new business like a small coffee shop,some sort of flowers shop or any other such business while the other remaining amount to have split equally in their bank accounts.

True, it should have been a happy situation for the couple to hit the big jackpot and not the other way around, and as you said it would make sense if behind the scenes they had personal problems outside of the jackpot winnings, I mean maybe they had personal problems that required them to separate and maybe this situation coincided with the time they hit the big jackpot so that people assume that their separation happened because both of them were greedy people who did not want to share the proceeds of their winnings.

But if what people predicted is true, or that means they split up just because of the money problem from the jackpot winnings then of course the separation is a decision that they should not take, if indeed the problem is like this then I am sure that the money at stake is the money of one of them which in the end when it turns out that the results win one of the couples does not want to share the results of his victory with his partner so that maybe there is a fight where one of them does not want to share his winnings and one of them claims that with the existence of a dating relationship then it means that the victory is shared. On the other hand, they should be more mature in their thinking, because of course it should be a happy situation where they can build a small business as you said or maybe hold an event like an engagement to make their relationship more serious.
