1121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 21, 2024, 11:38:15 AM
In gambling, you win some, you lose some; not just in gambling alone but in life generally, so i don't think this is a problem for gamblers. The problem in gambling is when you gamble with an amount that you cannot afford to lose, or with money that should have been used for more important aspects of your life. As long as you gamble responsibly, you will find a good balance between what you win and what you lose, and you'll be just fine.

Can we say that we have a balance between winning and losing a game? I'm not used to check or track my gambling activities, so I'm not sure if I win a lot or not. As you said, this is not an issue to a gambler because everyone is accustomed to when it comes to gambling that we don't get just winning, there is always that defeat. to be honest, I can't focus on my game if I'm constantly watching every move that I've done. As long as I manage my finances and betting strategy, I have no problem whether I win or lose. I just need to stick to the budget I have allocated for gambling so that I don't run out of money.

No, I wouldn't say "YES" to that, what I mean is that there is absolutely no such thing as a balance in terms of winning and losing in gambling, it is very difficult to achieve such results and if you don't believe me you can do the calculations over a period of time such as a month or three months and count all the money lost and won and I am sure that the result is that the amount you lose is most likely much greater than the winnings because as we know that after all the house is the real winner.

This is why never put the goal of earning along with putting hope in gambling because obviously what will happen is that you will lose a larger amount, we must understand that gambling is a profitable business for casinos and therefore as we know that most gambling activities end up losing more than winning, that's because the purpose of the bookie to build a casino is to make a profit and we can see how the fate of gambling addicts or gamblers who always overdo it, they almost run out of all the assets they have and experience many problems such as debt. Therefore, it is always recommended to treat gambling activities reasonably by limiting your time and budget without putting expectations or goals of earning except for entertainment only, and I remind you that even if you manage to become a responsible gambler it does not mean that you can achieve a balance in terms of the number of wins and losses, because still the problem of winning will not always be known.

I think it is clear that gambling that is done every day guarantees a loss of money and other losses, because there is no way that gambling that is done will guarantee victory with certainty. I also think that resisting or refraining from being tempted by gambling is difficult, especially if our thoughts are entirely thinking about winning, of course it will encourage us to gamble continuously.  But the temptation of gambling will be even greater and difficult to avoid.

Of course with this conversation we can assume that gambling every day is good or bad,  but in my own opinion it is certainly bad because it will only harm financially, now with our assumptions here it can help maybe those who gamble every day so they can consider the assumptions we are talking about. It's true what you said, regaining your life and control of your choices is the biggest victory.
What you are saying is true but on the other hand things like sometimes become a common thing to happen especially for those who have experienced addiction because in situations that occur if gambling every day then it is one indication of the symptoms of addiction done and it is a very difficult thing to guess.
We are now aware that there are countless instances of this happening and will consider it a loss if we don't play gambling when we try to do it every day.
Therefore, before this situation occurs, it would be better if we try to limit ourselves first with the fortress that we create because we have to think rationally when we are facing gambling.

Yes, it is a scenario or situation when you are too late in implementing various precautions, they will not be able to miss any time not to gamble in their daily lives if they have started the habit of gambling every day for a long time, they will feel like something is missing if they don't gamble, nothing else happens because you already have a chronic sense of attraction due to no restrictions at all when in the early stages of the approach that in the end you consider gambling as part of your life.

When someone is already in a situation that absolutely cannot miss a moment not to gamble then obviously they are required to have money for their gambling allocation every day which is actually an unnecessary expense and even adds problems to their financial balance, on the other hand if you basically have a job that gives you a pretty good income maybe yes it is not too much of a problem, But what we are worried about here is in the long run because it is clearly possible that over time your interest in gambling will increase in the sense that you can increase the amount of the budget to be bigger and of course no matter how rich you are you will eventually go bankrupt if you treat gambling in the wrong way, so of course as you said that restrictions are very necessary actions to be applied before it is too late and regret it.

Bayern Munich faces big problems. They have to accept Leverkusen's leadership. Leverkusen has never been defeated in the league yet and they are 8 points ahead of Bayern. That's why Bayern Munich is having a lot of trouble. I think from now on Leverkusen will not give the cup this season. We can say that Leverkusen is the champion this year.

Bayer Leverkusen is the only unbeaten team in Europe's five major leagues. Bayern Munich are on the verge of losing the title to Bayer Leverkusen this season, but we have to admit that Bayer Leverkusen have been fantastic this season. If Bayer Leverkusen had performed like this last season, they would have been champions last season too. Bayern Munich crashed into a hard rock this time. Cheesy
So far we will definitely agree to say that Leverkusen has performed extraordinary this season, yes, as you said, they are the only club that has not been defeated this season and they have done this not only in the Bundesliga, but also in the European League, they have been in the group stage has not been touched by defeat. I will not be in a hurry to say that they will become champions this season, because as long as there is still a chance for Bayern Munich to catch up, then during that time it also means that they cannot be said to be able to become champions. But I would say they deserve to be champions this season.

Under the direction of Xabi Alonso, they have become a very strong club, apart from the several draws they achieved, I think this is a very normal thing for a club. Their only competitor this season is Bayern Munich, we waited until they met in the first round of the league and their match ended in a draw, that makes our confidence grow for them. And in the second round they met again and the result was that they were able to beat Bayern Munich with quite a landslide score, which makes us believe in them even more.

Now there are 12 more matches left in the Bundesliga, if you look at their points gap, Leverkusen only needs to win 10 more matches to ensure they will win the Bundesliga title. It will be interesting to see week by week, because we will be presented with more emotional matches from Leverkusen to achieve what they want this season.
1124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 21, 2024, 06:47:18 AM
I'm surprised to see that Manchester City could play up to 70 minutes without scoring a goal against Brentford. Manchester City dominated Brentford with 70% ball possession and a 25-goal attempt against Brentford, but managed to score a goal against Brentford last night. If Manchester City continues to find it difficult to score goals against their opponents, they will find it hard to catch up with Liverpool in the Premier League table. 


Yes, in the first half, Brentford and Manchester City were still playing in a draw and no goals were scored and to be honest, I also thought that at that time the match would end in a draw. and yes, it is true that Manchester City had a lot of possession of the ball and there were also a lot of shots towards goal, but unfortunately Manchester City were not able to take full advantage of the opportunities, but it seems that because De Bruyne was not played by Guardiola, it was very influential in Manchester City's game, but the actions taken What Guardiola is doing is certainly very good because it is to maintain De Bruyne's health because what I heard is that De Bruyne's health is a little disturbed. Yes, if Manchester City's performance continues like this it will make it difficult to compete, but I'm sure Guardiola's abilities are very good and he will definitely train Manchester City to be even better.
Erling Haaland was the distinguishing figure in this match, one goal he scored made Manchester City win the match. Brentford really succeeded in protecting their defensive area and made it difficult for Manchester City to dismantle the defense they had built. However, with pressure after pressure they applied, it finally paid off in the 71st minute and allowed them to secure 3 points from this match. However, I still applaud Brentford, even though they lost, they didn't lose easily and made Manchester City a little stressed.

This result makes Manchester City return to second place in the standings, shifting Arsenal, as well as closing their distance to Liverpool, who are still at the top of the standings. Liverpool, who are at the top of the standings, will not be comfortable, because they are only 1 point away from the defending champion, Manchester City. The competition will be more interesting towards the end of the season, because the distance between them is very close and it can really change in just a week.

What is more interesting is that the statistical records this season for the two clubs are not much different, even in terms of productivity and defense they do not show any significant differences. This shows that they are truly balanced this season, despite the mistakes they made previously which prevented them from winning. But overall they played well.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Escape Debt with Gambling: A Dangerous Cycle on: February 20, 2024, 01:14:44 PM
That is a tough decision to make to be honest as that guy is your friend. I mean conscience will haunt you everytime you remember him. But for me if I am on the situation I will tell him frankly that I cannot help him about it so he won't be expecting something from you. If you will tolerate your friend you might put him into a much worse situation than he currently have. Finding a job is for me the best solution if he has plans to repay that debt.

Much better if he let his friend solve his problem since tolerating him might cause a bigger problem since if he didn't learn from that mistake and think about there's a friend will help him for sure he will do those actions again. Also its so hard in that situation and what if his friend cannot pay him for sure their friendship will be broken because of that reason. So much better decision to take is to say no regarding on the help he ask and just create an excuse that he is on financial struggle so he cannot help him regarding on what he want to request from OP. He should find legitimate way to find the solution of his loan so that he will not be in another trouble since we know how bad it will be if our loan pilled up and this could lead into more worse situation.

What you say is also true, if his friend is still beside him to accompany him in every problem as well as help him then obviously it is very possible for him to do some more  severe actions, so there is also a point as you say that his friend is better off just leaving him alone with the myriad of debt problems he has because  changes will usually always occur when someone  really feels traumatized by what he has experienced.

But what I doubt is that I'm not too sure that his friend can really ignore that person, because if you look at the scenario of the story his friend really cares about that person or something else it seems that he is afraid of that person so he always fulfills the things that the person wants. This problem is quite confusing because for these two people because if this continues to be done by that person then it is possible for him to eventually plunge or bring OP to the problem he has. So if indeed he absolutely cannot be helped with just a suggestion due to having a stubborn personality then of course it is better for you to avoid him and ignore whatever he is experiencing, because sometimes not caring too much about others can also be the right decision when the situation is like this.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 20, 2024, 12:41:05 PM
If you know how gambling works, you should not repeat the same mistakes. If you have already won, whether $10 or $20, don't keep gambling if it gets smaller, stop and save it if the win is not big and you can repeat it again tomorrow.

We all could suggest what to do and what not to do. But, How many of us follow these suggestions? I usually suggest to others not to deposit any big amount not to place big bets and not continue when they are losing. But, you would laugh after hearing that I do these things myself and then again, I suggest others not to do these mistakes  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

This is one of the reasons I have been trying to exit gambling and I would say I am kind of successful. I did not gambled any big amount of money for a while. I will gamble only for entertain purposes from now on.

Yes that's right buddy, I think it's a fact that even though we always advise the do's and don'ts of gambling but sometimes we ourselves are also fooled and like being hypocrites because we ourselves also do it Cheesy, but on the other hand I think it's still reasonable because after all it's a difficult thing to be really consistent in doing the things that are suggested because gambling is an activity that involves our feelings, or I mean you are very likely to lose a little awareness because of the many temptations in gambling so you can sometimes make mistakes like that.

But the point here is, "at least we have reminded each other" because it does help, it doesn't matter if we can't be the best but it is possible that people who hear the advice will experience significant changes thanks to the advice we give. On the other hand you have complete freedom over whatever you want to decide, and if indeed after knowing this you want to make a change especially for the better by being someone who comes only for entertainment then obviously this is the best for you and is indeed the recommended approach to gambling.

Anyone that lacks self control in gambling Is on a moving train to poverty or wreaking his entire finance, I've seen what gambling does to people on the street, people use their lunch money to place bet and end up losing.
Lack of self control would get you no where, you must know when you are over doing anything and try to put a limit on yourself, if possible budget an amount to use for gambling and don't exceed that amount.

Yes that's right, gambling without having any preparation that leads to precautions to minimize the amount of loss is actually like what you said that it is a way for them to end up with ruin, especially in terms of finance, on the other hand I also have one friend who is very aggressive in his gambling activities, there is nothing more interesting than gambling for him and obviously every day he always has difficulty in meeting his daily needs, such as buying food or buying something for operational needs. But somehow he still can't reach his consciousness, on the other hand I don't prohibit you or anyone from gambling but please at least you have the right understanding of gambling so that you don't take advantage of situations and conditions that will actually only make you tormented with all the problems. However, healthy gambling is when you treat gambling with all limits, especially in terms of the amount of budget and also the time of involvement, after all gambling should be fun and not a place that destroys.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 20, 2024, 11:16:39 AM
There have been saying that before you win a game in gambling, you would have lost enough funds and that means you didn't win any new or extra money to yourself but the casino return part of your money which you have lost before to you. And some will still say that what about those who have not playing gamble before and they won in their first day in gambling. Well those people newly converts to the gambling system will still dash the casino company that win again because the first time win is always to lure them to the system and making them to perpetual adoration to gamble. And I don't think someone in the gambling industry has as a win win gambling history. Or you wins are bigger than the loss. And all the experiences I have in gambling I have not seen that and also those of my friends who are gamblers have not to me that they only win and there is no loss record in their gambling history. And all the ones I have seen and known, the loses are more than the wins. And when I carefully look at the argument I also accept the assertion that what you win was part of your loss. Is that true? Make your input.

Honestly, I completely agree with your statement, which is true that gamblers actually only revolve around their own money, as you said that the victory he managed to get is the amount of money he had previously lost or  means the amount that has been lost due to defeat and when they are lucky in the next session then it is just returning their money that has been lost, and on the other hand what about the newbie gamblers who just came and managed to get a big enough win? Obviously, the cycle and the next scenario will still remain the same as the statement above that when you manage to get a big win at the beginning of the engagement then isn't it very possible for you to put interest and higher expectations for the next session? Obviously, the logic is that everyone needs money and when he manages to get money from winning then they will really feel happy and usually they will think that "this is a place that earns".

In fact, it is actually because of the increase in interest that in the end, the casino will return to withdraw the amount of money they won before, or simply the casino will make  them experience a losing streak. So actually it doesn't matter what the initial scenario is whether in the first stage you immediately get a win or lose first, in the end it returns to the initial arrangement that the house will always be profitable.

Gambling daily is a dance with peril, an embrace of a shadow that becomes stronger every day. Ethics are indeed under question. Daily chance plays seem to guarantee money and emotional loss.

However, is it not a plea for help? Symptom of a deeper need that gaming erroneously promises to fill? A battle with addiction and oneself, I think. With each bet, the temptation to escape reality for a minute grows.

I think the conversation should be about understanding and helping. Signs, support, and options for those caught in the cycle are crucial. Crafting a story of hope and healing that replaces gambling with sustained fulfillment is key. Regaining life and choice control is the biggest win.

I think it is clear that gambling that is done every day guarantees a loss of money and other losses, because there is no way that gambling that is done will guarantee victory with certainty. I also think that resisting or refraining from being tempted by gambling is difficult, especially if our thoughts are entirely thinking about winning, of course it will encourage us to gamble continuously.  But the temptation of gambling will be even greater and difficult to avoid.

Of course with this conversation we can assume that gambling every day is good or bad,  but in my own opinion it is certainly bad because it will only harm financially, now with our assumptions here it can help maybe those who gamble every day so they can consider the assumptions we are talking about. It's true what you said, regaining your life and control of your choices is the biggest victory.
1130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: February 19, 2024, 03:21:30 PM
It's never too late, if your friend really has a strong determination and commitment to get out of this problem, it's not impossible for him to recover from this problem. However, if in reality your friend is unable to realize bad behavior while gambling, this behavior can only cause continuous losses and losses. It is quite difficult for your friend to get out of this problem (gambling addiction). And I think there is no other way, apart from you continuing to try to make him aware, and that's if you really care enough about your friend's condition. And if you can, persuade him to come to a counselor so that he can get quick and appropriate treatment regarding the problems he is facing. Because if it is not handled immediately, this can become increasingly complicated and become quite difficult to find a solution to.

That's right, it's never too late for things that lead to goodness, even if they have experienced such huge losses but if we have a strong awareness and determination as well as a strong commitment as you said then they can get out of this problem from the zone of losses that cannot be predicted. Because indeed to be able to stop gambling I think they need help also from other people such as from their relatives or their spouses if they are married, because indeed gambling addiction is clear that it will definitely cause losses that cannot be avoided with certainty.

However, as you said, if they themselves are not aware of their bad behavior, they will not care about it, even though they always experience losses, they will not care about this right. if those who are addicted to gambling are their own friends or friends, let alone relatives, we should try to make them aware because of course we don't want bad things to happen to our friends or relatives.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 19, 2024, 03:01:31 PM
You are correct, if someone very young becomes addicted to gambling he or she can erase is dreams in life and go the route of gambling thinking that it will bring them everything they needed in this world.

When things start happening in a way that they don't expect, they might not quit, they might keep pushing harder until nothing works out like they wanted, and this could change them completely, starting all over again in the real world will be so hard to do.

Gambling messed with the mind and the way we think, only if you allow it, but if you are someone who already knows the odds of getting lucky in gambling, you ain't going to ever fall under the rug for gambling, I would rather get addicted to my career in the real world, as a fashionist but not gambling.

Translation results
In fact, in my opinion, with those who are young and addicted to gambling, they think that gambling can grant their wishes, in the sense that they think that gambling can give them victory where they can use the winnings for the things they want such as buying the things they want with the winnings. in my opinion, indeed with those who are addicted to gambling, they will not be easy to stop gambling because of the wrong thinking they have that encourages them to continue gambling.

So, these are the disadvantages of gambling apart from being financially detrimental. However, what is clear is that gambling will definitely harm many things, the main one being financially. Because in my opinion many people are destitute and bankrupt and even their lives are in shambles because of the money they spend gambling.
1132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? on: February 19, 2024, 02:27:39 PM
Apart from that, it may be quite difficult for elderly people to get to know online gambling, apart from being technologically illiterate, but their understanding and memory are starting to wane, so it will be quite difficult to introduce gambling to them, not to mention their poor eyesight. has started to run away and with all its shortcomings it is very worrying that later when he joins online gambling and bets in it, he will make mistakes that he does not realize, such as increasing the bet amount accidentally or something else.
The elderly find it difficult to keep up with current technological developments and according to them, current technology is very advanced. Meanwhile, those who feel they have not followed technological developments from the start will not be able or have difficulty using it. And even though it has been explained many times, they probably won't understand it because they can't use it. Moreover, if we introduce online gambling, they might be even more confused about starting it. Therefore, we should not introduce online gambling to the elderly and let them do the activities they are used to.
The elderly people would find it hard to engage on online gambling basically and based on the complexity of most the gambling sites, an aging person rate of comprehending those stuffs would be very difficult unlike youths who had all the time to learn and understand all those casinos stuffs, to me introducing it to them is just a waste of time, I had a close contact with relative who is involved in pools gambling and zI tried to convince him to embrace the online gambling instead of their usual analysis of past pool results so as to forecast and predict their games unfortunately all my effort to convince him  proved abortive because they are used to the old style of doing their stuffs.

That makes sense, although as far as I know now many elderly people still use cell phones to communicate of course they will not do anything else other than to communicate with the cell phone they use. Also, even if young people or teenagers were to introduce gambling to older people, they wouldn't understand quickly and I think they would probably make negative assumptions about gambling.

It is true what you said, I myself will not introduce gambling to them, because even with me doing gambling it is secretly because I think that I win or lose with the gambling that is done, it is enough for me to know that other people don't need to know because there is no positive value if we get a win and tell other people.
1133  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: February 19, 2024, 02:10:13 PM
yes I feel like that too, sometimes it's just the background color that is different, and most fake casinos don't run long enough which ends up cheating their customers, but this kind of practice seems to be commonplace and is commonly used by many developers who don't want to bother , they want everything to be instant without having to think about their concepts and ideas to try to be different from other casinos
Yeah, I think today, most people who create new online gambling casinos no longer care about their own unique concept, nor ideas and so on, it's all about making money for them and this things no longer matter, because they feel that gamblers don't actually care much about the functionality and design of casinos as long as the gamblers can see good games listed on the casino, and they are having fun playing those games, and as unfortunate as this may seem or sound, it's the truth, very many gamblers don't really care about the looks and design of a casino, and also functionalities at times, most especially in the face of mouth watering bonuses and so on, and this is how many of this copy cat casinos end up driving good traffic to their site regardless of the fact that their software and other stuffs are copied.

I think there are many things that are often ignored by gamblers, including the risk of losing money. Because it is true what you said, most likely they only think about winning and tend not to care about other things. Even with them only thinking about winning, the fact is that the defeat that is always obtained is not a problem for them, they don't mind it so they keep gambling without hesitation.

I agree with you that maybe only a few people care about the design of the casino, with so many casinos it certainly has similarities and differences from its features or from its design but obviously the design will not be completely the same. But there are some casinos in my opinion they provide an attractive design so that it becomes more value for the casino.
1134  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: February 19, 2024, 01:39:21 PM

But sometimes people fail to do that since they think its better to choose those casino that gives them more better reward or bonus. But they fail to check if that casino have good reputation that's why these people got scam and came here to complain regarding on their bad experiences they encounter on that casino.

If they could just select what are the best casino recommended by the forum members here for sure they will never encounter any scamming and they can enjoy then also get what they expect on the casino especially if they are aiming to have fun or try to became a competitive gambler. That's why people need to do efforts and don't be so lazy seeking those important thing that they need to consider so that they can avoid getting compromised.
People would really be sticking into those sites on which they do have that better winning rate on which this is a common approach i should say.
Despite of the difference of the games offered or in overall user interface and other features then it would really be that understandable that you would really be that not minding much about that.
Best casino would be always into your own preference and choice on which its always been important on that way. When it comes to this manner then it would really be
just that depending into someones choice. We do have tons of sites in the market on which you are the only ones who would really be finding on which one suits for you.

Yes that's right, it's likely that they will consider one of the best casinos is a casino that gives them a level of winnings that may be obtained frequently and maybe also the winnings are easy for them to get it may be true that the winnings are obtained. Because basically they will not be able to get a win often. But with one win that may be a large amount it can make them judge one casino is the best.

It is true that you said that the best casino will always be our own preference, and also the best casino is that we determine ourselves not with others. And now I know that many casino sites are located and can be played but the best one cannot be determined just by looking at it.

Manchester United can do a good job in the match that makes them win 3 points. They immediately took the initiative to attack in the early minutes and they managed to create 2 goals in less than 10 minutes. Their effort to do that I think was the right decision and they did it.
Their chances of being able to move up to the top 4 are still open, now they only have a difference of 3 points from Tottenham and have a difference of 5 pounds from Aston Villa who are ranked 4th. They can do that with a note that they have to be consistent with the game and win, because that's all they can do, while hoping that the 2 clubs that are above them at the moment make a lot of mistakes and lose a lot of points from the matches they play. Their chances are quite wide open with the improvement in their performance lately, I hope Erik Ten Hag does not make many wrong decisions, especialy in choosing the players he will play.
Manchester United's performance is very good now. It can be seen that in the last few matches there has been a significant increase in performance from the Manchester United team. The victory they achieved is not surprising because with the quality that Manchester United is currently showing, they deserve to win.
I think currently the possibility of Manchester United being able to enter the top 4 positions is increasingly wide open, Tottenham and Aston Villa who are above Manchester United in the Premier League standings are often unable to maintain consistency and in terms of strength Manchester United is also quite capable so I think it is very possible for Manchester United to enter the top 4 positions.
But they really need to keep up their game otherwise we might see them return to inconsistent play and often get unsatisfactory results. The question that remains in my mind is whether or not they will be able to maintain their level of consistency in the rest of the season's competition.
It must be admitted that lately they have been able to improve their performance which we did not see at the beginning of the season or mid-season. Their defense has also been able to improve a little, but whether it will keep happening or just return to their previous game. Some games they've been able to finish well, but that's also because most of their opponents are still below them. We'll know when they get an equally strong or even better opponent.

Actually, looking at Porto's performance in the domestic league, they are not performing badly, but I can understand when you say that, one of which is the difference in the domestic league which is more competitive compared to the league in which Porto competes, which is something that is normal. Yes, we are not underestimating any club here, because we also have clear basic reasons why we can say such things.
However, we must admit that Porto still has a chance to beat Arsenal in this match. I think their meeting in the first leg will be very decisive. If Porto manages to win the match, their chances will be even greater, but if they lose or at least get a draw in the match, their chances will be even smaller because the second leg will be held at Arsenal's headquarters. Let's see what they can do in the first meeting.
Nothing should be taken lightly, UCL is the most prestigious competition in Europe and all the teams here are the best European teams, but we also have to look realistically at the teams facing each other.
Nothing is impossible in football but it is clear that Arsenal's strength is far above Porto at the moment so Porto's percentage of being able to beat Arsenal is very small.
Arsenal, who are currently in top form, will certainly not be careless in taking the opportunity to go further in the UCL this season. In my opinion, their percentage of being able to beat Porto is very large.
Now realistic things when we see two clubs facing each other become a separate consideration for us to determine who is superior in that match. Arsenal in the Premier League they are part of the title race this season, they are in a very crucial place with two other clubs namely Liverpool and Manchester City.
You are right that the Champions League is the most prestigious league in Europe, the best representatives in the domestic league who managed to win a ticket in the previous season. The smaller percentage is the point, Porto have a smaller winning percentage than Arsenal. Therefore, as I said before, this first match is a very decisive match for Porto's journey, whether they will be able to increase their percentage of chances or will reduce their percentage of chances.

Al Hilal is too strong for any club, it has been proven this week that they can still continue their winning streak this week when they face Al Raed. I don't even think this season anyone can beat Al Hilal, unless they are very unlucky in that match. I don't think it's an exaggeration when I say this because they have had almost no gaps this season. Their defensive line is solid, their midfield can maintain balance very well and their front line is also very productive, which makes them look much stronger.
20 weeks have passed and they are unbeaten and have only achieved 2 draws this season. So it is very natural that many say they will become champions again this season. Al Nassr, which is their closest club, actually lost when they met Al Hilal.

AC Milan managed to win the home match in the first leg with score of 3 - 0 over Rennes and this was match with quite landslide aggregate, the opportunity for AC Milan to qualify for the next round is really very big.
In the second leg match, AC Milan will play away from home and it is clear that Rennes has the advantage in this second leg match, but to be able to get 4 goal advantage is very difficult for Rennes.
Even though Rennes can win, I sure that in this match they will not be able to win absolutely against AC Milan, which clearly already has an aggregate of 3 points, Rennes will eventually be eliminated from the competition.
AC Milan may not appear very consistent in the Serie A competition, especially today they lost embarrassingly against Monza, which is lower middle class team.
But for the Europa League, I can still be quite confident that AC Milan will be able to give the best results and be one of the team that will qualify for the next round.
A 3 goal advantage will make AC Milan more comfortable when playing in the second leg, but they still have to be careful because it is not impossible that Rennes will be able to make an extraordinary comeback even though it looks very difficult. Rennes themselves will go all out in the second leg in my opinion, because with 3 goals behind there is no other way for them but to continue attacking. If they play defensively it would be the same as allowing AC Milan to comfortably advance to the last 16 of the Europa League.
AC Milan must be able to anticipate this, they must strengthen themselves, especially in the midfield so that Rennes cannot freely control the match later. They also have to quickly find a rhythm before Rennes can find it. Because usually the club that first finds their rhythm in a match will open up their opportunities more in that match.

PSG needs a good player for the attacking position as well as a target man to score goals to replace mbappe and laturo martinez in terms of scoring goals is better when compared to leao. but if Osimhen is recruited it is purely a striker who cannot play wide or provide assists as well as mbappe. if laturao or leao can still comb from the wings to provide assists to his teammates.
Rumors of Mbappe leaving for Real Madrid are a warning for PSG and they must find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible in that position. PSG has a busy match schedule this month and in the future so PSG needs a productive front line. Some options as you point out are still unclear because PSG have not made a statement about Mbappe's future and maybe they are still trying to persuade Mbappe to stay there.

There are wingers at PSG who can play collectively with Osimhem and perhaps the typical pure striker is more about finishing in scoring goals. So PSG must maximize the right and left wings to make attacks sharper and in addition the midfield must work harder to provide beautiful passes to the front players.
In fact, rumors of Mbappe's departure are not new news, they have been heard for quite some time, even his refusal to sign a new contract indicates his very strong desire to leave. Paris Saint Germain should have been able to prepare for this for a long time, but what they did was continue to chase and convince Mbappe to stay with them, it was like they were begging Mbappe. If only they were more willing to let him leave at any time, I'm sure they already have players who are ready to replace Mbbape, but once again I say, they continue to chase Mbappe.
Now they don't have as much time as before, because when Mnbappe actually leaves they have to find a new player who is ready to replace this player. I think they're wasting too much time on something that's very difficult for them to be sure of, and that's coming from Mbappe himself.

This match ultimatly not easy for Arsenal, but Arsenal have great chance to won. They a favorite team at this match rather than Porto, of course even Arsenal not guaranteed to win in an away game. Porto will bet their fate against one of the favorite teams this season, but I think Arsenal is not completely reliable even though the team's performance is very good. Maybe it's not an interesting match to look forward to, Napoli vs Barcelona is certainly more interesting in my opinion.

I agree with you. In my opinion, the Porto vs Arsenal match is not as interesting as the Napoli vs Barcelona match. My reason is because Porto will face one of the strongest teams in the Champions League this season. I am not underestimating Porto but in my opinion Porto's level is still below Arsenal's level and the odds entering this match are also very favorable for Arsenal to win the match. Napoli vs Barcelona is much more interesting because the strengths of the two teams are equally balanced. Both have the same chance of winning depending on which team is able to perform better that night.
Actually, looking at Porto's performance in the domestic league, they are not performing badly, but I can understand when you say that, one of which is the difference in the domestic league which is more competitive compared to the league in which Porto competes, which is something that is normal. Yes, we are not underestimating any club here, because we also have clear basic reasons why we can say such things.
However, we must admit that Porto still has a chance to beat Arsenal in this match. I think their meeting in the first leg will be very decisive. If Porto manages to win the match, their chances will be even greater, but if they lose or at least get a draw in the match, their chances will be even smaller because the second leg will be held at Arsenal's headquarters.
