@uchegod-21 something spectacular did happen in the Barca vs. PSG match hehe.

You have to feel for Ronald Araújo. Some Barca fans are saying the red card punishment was too harsh but he was the last defender there so it was justified. It was probably just instinct that kicked in when he grabbed the PSG player. Maybe add the lack of experience as another factor as I doubt a top defender would risk doing that when they are already up by 2 goals with plenty of time to play.
It wasn't just the fans who thought that the red card was too harsh, but Xavi also blamed the referee because after Araújo was sent off, Barcelona game became increasingly out of control. I think Araújo deserved a red card because he committed a fairly serious foul and from here neither the fans nor Xavi should probably blame the referee's decision. Yes, there is definitely an attitude of disappointment but they remain professional and they have to admit that PSG is really stronger than them. Of course they had a 2 goal advantage but that disappeared when they had to play with 10 people and that was what made Barcelona game out of control.

Psg finally made a comeback at the opponent's home ground and it was certainly a surprise. Psg will be a tough team with increasing confidence and that's what I see from their players. Well, on the one hand, I want to see Mbappe win the UCL trophy this season and can he achieve that dream. On the other hand, Barcelona and all the fans have to accept the fact that they are eliminated and this was something they had never imagined before.
122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 17, 2024, 12:25:43 AM
Barcelona won't be top of La Liga again for the rest of the season, I know the 8 point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is a high number to expect anything from. Barcelona has now fallen in the quarter-finals after PSG came back with a score of 1-4 in the second leg, while the aggregate was 4-6 which made PSG qualify for the semi-finals automatically.

Of course Barcelona will fight for their fate for the rest of the season to keep winning matches, but expecting Real Madrid to lose and lose a lot of points is probably not the most reasonable thing. Real Madrid won't make many mistakes, so they will lead the standings until the end and win the title.
It was really sad for Barcelona in the second leg because playing at home they were able to be beaten by PSG. Even though previously I predicted that Barcelona would play better in the second leg because they had the capital to win from the first leg, but things turned around on the field because PSG performed better by scoring 4 goals with an aggregate of 4-6. With Barcelona being eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona hopes of winning a trophy this season will fail miserably because in La Liga they are also far behind Real Madrid, where Barcelona is 8 points behind Real Madrid.

Xavi seems to have made up his mind to leave Barcelona at the end of this season, perhaps he will look for a new challenge in either Serie A or the Premier League. I think Barcelona needs a lot of changes in their squad for next season because they have to immediately transition their squad with young and quality players in order to be able to compete with other teams next season. I agree with you if you expect Real Madrid to lose, of course that is quite difficult to happen because Real Madrid will play more carefully to maintain their chances of becoming champions this season.
123  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: April 16, 2024, 11:32:39 PM
[edited out]
I think the best thing to do is to determine your own dip percentage, that you will like to see in the market, before any dip happens. The level of dip you want to see before you engage in market, let's say you want to see 10% dip from the market before buying, all you have to do is calculate the price that bitcoin will be when it ships 10%. When you have gotten the price, you go to your exchange and set a buy order and leave it. If bitcoin dip to that price range your order will execute. This will help you not to be confused as you have already determined before time the level of dip that will be okay for you to engage. If it dip further after your order has been filled, it's no longer your business, as you have achieved your target that was set before time. If it didn't dip to the level you were expecting, you have nothing to lose, you just continue with your routine DCA. But for me I think it's important to know the % dip you are expecting to be able to utilize the opportunity when it comes.

You are exactly correct Justbillywitt.  It is very helpful to establish your dip amount in advance, and you could have several buy orders set just for that, or you can determine after each time your dip order is filled if you want to set another one.. so that you just do them one at a time. Of course your specific situation will help to dictate what is most practical in terms of how much to set aside for various dip amounts... for example you could have $1k that you are holding for dips, and you could have $333 for three orders at dips of 10%, 20% and 30%  or you could set them for $100 every 5% dip, which would take you down to 50%. . or of course, you could set the whole $1k for a certain amount or you could manually set them each time it gets filled, you determine where you would put the next one with ever amount that you have left in your fund.

Of course, for brand new folks into BTC, there would be a preference to emphasize DCA rather than buying on dips, yet it seems many of us recognize that buying on dips could be a decent way to supplement that DCA practice, yet at the same time, keeping a lot of buying on dip funds might not be a good way to manage funds, especially for guys who might not have a lot of funds to work with in the first place.
I mentioned temporary savings funds that I would use to set buy orders when Bitcoin prices were down. Say this is always the main point in investing, such as dividing your finances into several phases such as regular purchases with DCA, lump sum purchases and also funds just in case Bitcoin falls more significantly. Indeed, if we have a savings of $2k we can organize it into 4 parts at each drop to maximize our chances when the price drops again.

Complementing DCA practices is really needed and some of them don't think in that direction so they don't have money saved for a downturn when a crash occurs. Many miss the opportunity to buy when prices fall 5%, 7% or 15% because they don't manage their cash flow as well as possible.

It's true that our goal is long-term investment with a DCA strategy, but to get Bitcoin at a cheap price, of course you have to have money saved to use when the price drops further. All of this certainly requires strategy from initial planning, therefore all of this will be regularly done by those who are good at managing their money for investing in Bitcoin.
124  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: April 15, 2024, 06:18:57 PM
Paying debts on time is a form of responsibility and also good ethics. I am never late in paying my debts because I know which ones are my responsibility, which ones I have to prioritize and also the reputation I have to maintain.
Responsible people will definitely have a stable and comfortable life, we don't know what will happen to us in the future if we have a good history of paying debts then we can borrow money again in peace without being suspected, that's it, paying debt on time and being responsible for debts is a form of maturity and also good debt management.
Yes, we must be responsible for the initial decision when requesting a loan and we definitely promise to pay at a certain time, we must definitely be responsible for the payment time that has been determined so that you do not have a history of negative behavior or inappropriate promises to the borrower, even though we You don't have to pay interest on the loan, but appreciate that the borrower has provided a financial solution when you are in dire financial need. If we apply a responsible attitude towards other people, we will trust you forever.
Yes that's right, so we try to be able to pay money on time according to the time we have promised is a form of extraordinary responsibility, I myself very rarely find people who do this, so from that I am very careful also in lending money or borrowing money to others because it is very sensitive when it comes to money, I myself if I want to borrow money need to advance myself first and when I will get the money and how much money I can afford to pay in the future, it becomes my parameter in borrowing money, because the trust of someone who helps us is very important for the future, this will affect many things if trust becomes damaged if we cannot be trusted.

Therefore it is very important to manage debt so that it can go according to plan and there is nothing detrimental, including what money we borrow is used for, this needs to be protected if using money just because of prestige and so on and that borrowed money is an act that will make us bad in financial terms.
125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar being addicted to online poker on: April 14, 2024, 07:48:10 PM
A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
The question is whether the Poker done by Neymar is gambling or a regular Online Poker game, because there are a lot of Online Poker games that do not use money or bets in it, they just play normally to fill their empty time with social media users or anonymous on the application, it might happen right?
We haven't gotten direct confirmation from Neymar on this, whether he is gambling on poker games or just playing without any gambling elements in it.

But given that he has lost a lot of money in the past, it is most likely gambling and he has an addiction, but all this is not yet clear because the mainstream media always adds a lot of spice to the news they write that is interesting to read.
126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 14, 2024, 07:14:41 PM
In the end, Man City is now more promising after several matches where there were doubts about retaining the trophy. However, if you look at the results after Arsenal and Liverpool failed to get 3 points, it is certainly very surprising. For some reason at the most important moment to maintain the ideal points distance, Liverpool and Arsenal had to lose to a team whose playing condition was unstable. Liverpool were defeated by Crystal Palace and Arsenal were defeated by Aston Villa. Come on, this is really off target because now the 3 teams have played 32 matches and the difference is slim but Man City clearly has the advantage because Liverpool and Arsenal failed to get 3 points.
I think there are also many who will be surprised by the results of this match, everyone is very confident with Arsenal because Arsenal gave the best performance so far and in fact they lost consistency again at the end of this season, this will be a curse history for Arsenal in my opinion, because like the previous season Arsenal did the same thing in their last matches, Aston Villa is not so amazing if you pay attention because previously they also lost to Tottenham and tied with Brentford, but why with Arsenal can get a 2-0 victory in this match, it is indeed quite disappointing.
Likewise Liverpool, even though they play at their own home which should be much more able to dominate the match but can be stolen goals by Crystal Palace, this news is sadness and happiness for City fans.
127  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 Official Partner of Newcastle United Football Club on: April 14, 2024, 06:48:31 PM
In performance only, I think Liverpool did not play too bad and they will return to Premier League with good confidence. Crystal Palace will be one of last opponents Liverpool need to beat and wait for chances from Arsenal to take over the first position. To be able to take any given chance from Arsenal, Liverpool must win their matches first and they can start with Crystal Palace this weekend.
Liverpool's performance was not bad but they wasted a lot of chances that did not become goals, unfortunately the strikers were still not right in the attack on Crystal Palace.

Liverpool had to swallow bitterly twice lost matches at Anfield this is a result that fans did not expect but what can make Crystal Palace's defense so solid several times Liverpool's kicks were still able to block it.
Palace's defense and goalkeeper are in the right position.

Jones should have kicked it into a goal but I the ball deviated out. Sad
Crystal Palace succeeded in implementing a defense that made things difficult for Liverpool. Their defeat was not because they played badly, but perhaps they were unlucky and had to suffer a second defeat when playing at home.
Crystal Palace were also smart in my opinion, because they were looking for an early goal and they managed to create it in the 14th minute and that gave them the upper hand. Crystal Palace also implemented a tactical strategy, even though they were under pressure they were still calm enough to respond to the attacks launched by Liverpool's players.
This result left them 2 points behind Manchester City and this was a turning situation in Manchester City's favor. Meanwhile, in another ongoing match, Arsenal hosted Aston Villa, and there was a big possibility that they would also achieve a draw because after the 80th minute they were still playing with a score of 0-0. If this result holds until the end, then Manchester City will now have the upper hand.
And yes finally Man City is back on top of the wind, the victory against Aston villa at the end of the second half is not a surprise that can be felt because of City's return to the top of the English premier league standings, I did not imagine it would easily happen with just one week, but both Arsenal and Liverpool teams lost this week simultaneously which made Manchester City top the table, with a perfect victory against Luton 5-1 brought him back to his throne as the throne holder of the English premier league, will get the treble winner again this season?

I think this is normal and I think Girona's defeat is not so strange if you really look at it well, although indeed this season Girona has surprised with a very good performance to be in third place in the standings this season, and that is what many people see, but we need to see that at any time there must be a setback or loss of consistency in performance, It could be that Atletico madrid has really changed its situation and become better in the meantime, also knowing the weaknesses in Girona that caused it to be very good in last night's match, anyway the position has not changed and Girona is still in third place in the standings, it needs two more wins for Atletico Madrid to catch up.
Not many people expect Girona to maintain their best form until the end of the season, in fact I haven't found one user who is truly a fan of this team. Girona may be a good team for one season, but the next season they will never be the same again. Lack of finances will affect the depth of the squad they have, this will make them fail to compete and maintain their best form.

Real Madrid won hard today at the Campo de fútbol de Son Moix against Mallorca. Neither striker scored, it was just a goal from Aurélien Tchouaméni. The match was exciting even though Real Madrid dominated, but Mallorca also had the opportunity to equalize even though in the end they gave up. Then from that, it was also almost possible for Barcelona to win at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla against Cadiz. The temporary score is 0-1 in favor of Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's dominance makes me believe that they will win by more than 1 goal. Joao Felix scored a beautiful goal, a goal that is rarely seen in football matches.
Yes, it is quite natural for Girona if not so many people like them because they can be new as a season challenger in the top position, maybe only their local residents like this team, meaning not so broad as others who seem to be in the corners of the earth as fans, but if Girona can perform much better than Barcelona I think they will get more attention if they can compete more tightly at the top of the standings.
We don't know about that but from today's movements they have started to weaken and lose their consistency as they should be getting better this is getting worse, yes certainly next season will be very difficult for them especially when their finances do not increase.
Real Madrid vs Mallorca and Barcelona vs Cadiz matches seem to be saving energy, both are 1-0 in winning matches in La Liga, I don't really understand the point of this match.
129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: April 14, 2024, 03:05:51 PM
Many people already become a gambler before they reach 18 years old.

If they play Genshin Impact, Valorant, CSGO, DOTA 2 etc, all of them have gacha, so if they ever top up to gacha, they're a gambler.

If they visit kids zone and play claw games, they're a gambler.

If they play a card game or other game with something they stake, they're a gambler.

So there's no reason a 18 years old person can't become a gambler.
I agree with you on this, meaning that an 18 year old person or child can or cannot do gambling is possible if we look with a broad lens, the premise of gambling itself is very broad, so it's not just about casinos and casinos if it's a matter of gambling.

Like children playing games and gacha to get what they want in the video game and they have to deposit first, it is indeed gambling, when they bet on something to get what they bet, it is also gambling, it's just that it can't be seen easily, we need to understand it with knowledge, then the games used by young children have elements of gambling.
130  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency impact on Economy on: April 13, 2024, 09:20:45 PM
The presence of cryptocurrency has a very positive impact and has the ability to accelerate economic growth for a country so that it can facilitate access to purchasing resources and utilizing financial services, especially in developing countries.

cryptocurrency has really changed the world economy and also the way people transact, with blockchain technology behind it, everything runs transparently and nothing can be hidden, another thing that benefits from cryptocurrencies is that even those who are in remote areas when they are connected to the internet, they can transact with cryptocurrencies, without needing to depend on banks.
f you value economic growth by being able to make transactions, in my opinion, the tone is wrong in understanding economic growth, after all we can still use fiat to make the same transactions and we can easily make economic growth if the market is wider and the money circulation goes well in the area will improve the economy, so if you look at it from this side, in my opinion it is not right. It would be more appropriate if the thinking is that if we can open up more of our business abroad and make crypto an alternative payment, so it's not a local activity but an international transaction activity.

Moreover, this can at least reduce the unemployment rate in a country because the younger generation can generate their own income from various means through cryptocurrency.

the opportunity created by the use of cryptocurrencies is that more and more young people will be helped financially when they make good use of cryptocurrencies, just imagine if you knew about Bitcoin and bought it when the price was $1000 then now the value of the money you have has increased by thousands of percent, this shows that cryptocurrencies are an opportunity.
This is quite relevant, but if you only imagine it is something that is unlikely to happen again, but with the development of crypto currency today we can see income opportunities much wider, both to become a trader, airdroper, and other things to channel your abilities in the growing cryptocurrency ecosystem to have selling value.

Girona have flop so bad, though I know that they have not been stable lately but I didn't foresee such humiliation coming from athletic Madrid to Girona, on a norm athletico was a better side than girona but earlier this season girona proved to be a better team but all of a sudden things changed in the middle of the season, the match between both team ended 2:1 in the first half of the match after seeing girona securing thr first goal of the match I thought that they are going to perform very well in the game but it was disappointing seeing girona making the mistake of allowing athletico Madrid to score 2goals in the first half and there by putting them ahead in the game, such a devastating moment for girona fans, the total ball possession of the match was taken by athletico Madrid, the deserve the winning because the hustle for it amd they won.
I think this is normal and I think Girona's defeat is not so strange if you really look at it well, although indeed this season Girona has surprised with a very good performance to be in third place in the standings this season, and that is what many people see, but we need to see that at any time there must be a setback or loss of consistency in performance, It could be that Atletico madrid has really changed its situation and become better in the meantime, also knowing the weaknesses in Girona that caused it to be very good in last night's match, anyway the position has not changed and Girona is still in third place in the standings, it needs two more wins for Atletico Madrid to catch up.
132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 13, 2024, 07:07:32 PM
Honestly PSG doesn't feel any pressure at all at Ligue one, the point difference is 10, so it is not like they would care. They could lose this game too and not care about it since it is not going to matter to them. I understand that it may feel like maybe a little different to some people, but that's just the way it is right now. I feel like the best way to go would be making sure that we are going to handle getting better one way or another, and we could probably see the situation change a lot more later on.

I hope that we could probably get a better result, but seems like it is not that easy. I get that it may not look amazing so far, but I believe that we are going to probably end up with a much better result eventually.

The title of Ligue 1 champion definitely belongs to PSG with a difference of 10 points, they, of the remaining 7 matches in Ligue 1 that they have only Nice which is most likely to be their obstacle, it could be that before the Nice - PSG match, PSG has already secured the Ligue 1 title for them.

Maybe we'll see a more competitive Ligue 1 next season because the news about Kylian Mbappe's move is getting hotter, what do you think, will PSG still compete in the top 4 next season if Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG?
PSG can already be confirmed as the winner of the French league 1, just like the previous seasons about PSG, the comparisons and differences that are too far from all the teams in league 1 we cannot deny it.

Rumors about Mbappe's departure are indeed heating up, and to be honest, those interested in Mbappe are very many from big clubs, in terms of potential Mbappe deserves the attention of many big clubs, but the problem is that the price offered is too expensive, which is what causes some of the biggest recruiting Mbappe to think twice because it might eat half of their cash just to buy Mbappe, maybe waiting for a free transfer is much better if the price doesn't drop, but maybe PSG won't be that stupid.

I quite believe without Mbappe in my opinion PSG can still compete in the top 3 of the French league 1.

Not many surprise results in today games which is very strange considering we are talking about Premier League here which has its own main characteristic the highest number of surprise results during a season compared to all other major European leagues,yet I still think why I bet on such league  Grin.

Most probably Liverpool is forced to win tomorrow together with Arsenal after City destroying Luton in today game,for Liverpool I am afraid of their psychological level as they were defeated 0-3 in Anfield from Atalanta in midweek in Europa League and I don't remember when it was last time Liverpool suffered such a defeat at home,it must be quite a looooong ago.
There is something that can make you surprised maybe, tonight Man United's match against Bournemouth, Man United lost with a score of 2-1 while being superior to Bournemouth, Man United while only Bruno Fernandes can enter the goal to Neto, while Onana has conceded twice in this first half, although Man United seems to dominate but it is quite difficult for them. It will be a surprise for me if Man United lose, because previously predicted that Man United is rebuilding its strength to make the red devils come back from sleep.

City against Luton getting a score of 5-1 is more than enough, and we need to wait for Arsenal with Aston villa and also Liverpool vs Crystal Palace today, I'm not sure Liverpool lost, they will get the victory because it is impossible to make the same mistake with the current situation.
134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 12, 2024, 07:39:09 PM
when we decide to get married, have a family and maybe some already have children. then what is our hobby, our pleasure and our favorite, then that should no longer be our main priority. because we not only have to be responsible for ourselves, but we also have to be responsible for them, our children, and our wives. A child whose life is still dependent on his parents for the time being, and when, for example, we as fathers, the backbone of the family, experience serious problems due to gambling, then it is not ourselves who are the victims, but also those, who are wives and children, who will also be affected.

We all know very well that gambling has quite dangerous risks and negative impacts, because anyone can become addicted, and even those who are old enough can become addicted to gambling, especially those who are underage, maybe they are a little more susceptible to becoming addicted. Therefore, it is quite important for us to always monitor and ensure that our children's growth and development can go well, and that irresponsible gambling activities do not become a factor that disrupts children's growth and development and damages their future.
what you said is true, as the head of the family who has responsibility for his wife's children of course must be highly prioritized however it is a bad impact if we make mistakes in gambling, but honestly this depends on how you manage yourself and depends on your situation too, if gambling does not interfere with the economy and your time with family I don't think it will be a problem, as long as you manage it properly and don't like to exceed your limits in gambling, so you can continue your hobby in gambling but yes of course we gradually have to reduce gambling time from what we usually are in the casino because after marriage has a family that needs your time.

The risk of bad in an unprepared state is real, gambling can do that, so yes as much as possible you need to minimize gambling in front of your child or if possible not in front of him, including also protecting our child's environment because nowadays the environment will easily influence our children to enter a world that is not yet their time to enter such as gambling.

135  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: April 12, 2024, 06:48:29 PM
Every decision related to money always has risks. They can make decisions, but of course they have to understand enough about good risk management. All this must be done with strategy, not ambition and of course this is advice worth considering.

Because this involves investment, obviously there is always risk. It's not just price volatility that you need to watch out for, but also other risks that of course exist. Risk management is very important in investing, it is even more important than planning.

Of course. As you said above, If it is not considered first then what will happen is the birth of Physiological pressure if wrong in making decisions. Although everything depends on the point of view of each individual, but what is certain is that the continuation of the story is the decline in the value of the most absolute investment / loss even though the general assumption is a natural thing in the course of investment, but if the asset forecast continues it will be very noticeable.

One thing I want to say is that we will never be able to profit if we just look at the price drop without taking into account other big things like changes in the demand and supply of Bitcoin in the market, but I believe the growth prospects of Bitcoin are still quite promising from this point on.
I strongly agree that anything related to financial matters is risky, even in my personal opinion saving money in fiat form is also risky because there is inflation that continues to overshadow us every year, isn't it also going to reduce the value of the money we have and it is a crueler risk because we will not feel it.

In contrast to investing we can see the ups and downs of our money yes although indeed the risk is there and much greater because of the fluctuations that occur in prices, but that stigma you will see if in the short term but if you have a long-term mindset you will see that storing bitcoin is much safer and has a very decent return for each holder, therefore taking risks is a correct decision even though sometimes we lose we can still learn and learn why we are wrong in making decisions, all successful people start with risk taking at first.

I think technology will indeed make humans minimize mistakes but it does not mean that it will eliminate all forms of cheating and mistakes that will occur, the placement of technology in football is needed so that all competing clubs can get fair decisions and hopefully with the technology we will see no more clubs feel disadvantaged due to wrong decisions from referees.
The presence of VAR apart from having pros and cons, because we also sometimes find blundering decisions from referees even though they have used VAR with the most advanced technological version. Because in the end it all depends on the referee's decision. When compared with VAR the decision is almost the same. You may also already know that sometimes behind-the-scenes referee manipulation and gamesmanship are unavoidable. So I really agree with the implementation of VAR in the future in the UCL, at least the aim is to minimize, it is still debatable regarding the referee's decisions and we as spectators can judge from our own point of view when for example a violation occurs.

But the referee is still the referee and he can easily make a different decision than VAR, it has happened many times.
The presence of VAR did make pros and cons at first because it was still said to be new technology and maybe the accuracy of VAR could not be said to be 100% correct at the previous time so that it reaped pros and cons, but maybe this technology continues to be improved and has much better accuracy to assess things that cannot be seen by the referee to be very clear, it will be very useful to minimize cheating as well as decision errors made by the referee, especially in the context of offside balls and goals, problems often occur due to the limitations of the referee in seeing it so that it raises disappointment and is considered unfair.
 The presence of Var is also for that, reducing the fraud committed by the referee, so that if the referee commits fraud it will be easy to read and his credibility and reputation will be highly doubted by many parties so that it will harm the referee himself if he continues to do that kind of dirty thing. Not only in the UCL but in all leagues I think there is a need for VAR to review fairer matches, especially the EPL which should have VAR which must be much better because it is the most popular and expensive league.
137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Betting. Why the Distinction? on: April 12, 2024, 04:48:38 PM
I was today years old when I found out that if betting and gambling isn't exactly the same thing. If you Google the word betting most of the  results will be in regards to sports betting. Also Google the word gambling and you will see most results refer to casino games. In my own opinion whether we bet on the outcome of a sports event or we bet on games of luck and skill in the casino, they are both the same thing. Which is why I wonder why there is this distinction between the two? Why can't we say casino betting just as we say sports betting or sports gambling just as we refer to the casino when we talk about gambling? I know it sounds weird saying casino betting or sports gambling but what do you think about this?
If you look at it from the nature of this definition it sounds different because of the difference in language, namely between betting and gambling but in fact the definition is the same, the mechanism is the same and both also bet money, it's just that we are more used to hearing that betting leans on things related to physical activity such as soccer matches, chess, boxing, volleyball, poker and other things like horse racing that we also often when choosing one of the teams to bet money on the course of a match it will be called a bet.
But meanwhile if gambling in the casino on the house game we call it gambling, and I am also often confused to define it but basically the two things are both betting money or goods to get a prize for the owner of the correct choice.

The second leg will certainly make it a little difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. However, all that could change because this season Arsenal has big ambitions in the Champions League. These two teams will play life and death in the second leg because both teams still have the same chance of qualifying for the next round.
Arsenal nearly lost at home and even with a draw, they will play a second leg in Munich with big fear because Bayern Munich will become stronger at their home stadium. A first leg shows that Bayern Munich have enough quality to beat Arsenal especially now they only have Champions League to fight. Arsenal shown some deadly weakness in their defense system and if Bayern Munich had exploited it better, they would have beaten Arsenal and gotten big advantage for a second leg. A draw is a lucky result for Arsenal and does not put Arsenal under big disadvantage in Munich.
That's not necessarily in my opinion for the current situation, but indeed if you look at the history of meetings between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Arsenal are very bad so far only getting 2 wins and Bayern Munich getting 7 wins for their head to head so far, Of course, if based on that, Arsenal have a small chance of getting a victory and Bayern Munich have a greater chance based on the past, especially since this meeting is at the Allianz stadium which is Bayern Munich's home, of course Arteta needs to prepare himself much better than before who almost lost in leg 1 at Arsenal's home, both depend on this 2nd leg to qualify for the next round.

I'm not sure Arsenal is not out of this cup. They had lose their chances as they played draw with Bayern Munich at home today. Bayern present form is bad expecially when playing from away so I expect a win from arsenal in this match. The second leg at Bayern's home will be a very strong challenge for arsenal as it will be a bit difficult for them to win. Although nothing is impossible, so let's wait and see the miracle Arsenal can perform at Bayern's home.
Of course, many were disappointed with the draw that Arsenal got in the first leg because Arsenal played at home but they failed to win. On the one hand, the fans also think that Arsenal can avoid defeat because Bayern munich was able to play well at Arsenal home ground which made today match end with a score of 2-2. Of course, if you look at Bayern Munich recent performance, they are less stable in the domestic league, but they were able to focus their strength on the Champions League where they managed to put pressure on Arsenal in today match.

The second leg will certainly make it a little difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. However, all that could change because this season Arsenal has big ambitions in the Champions League. These two teams will play life and death in the second leg because both teams still have the same chance of qualifying for the next round.

It's a very expensive contract and I think Mbaape is too arrogant because when he gets a fairly large contract like that, he has to think that the team has very high confidence in Mbaape's jersey number. PSG may already have a list of players they are targeting and buying for next season when the transfer market reopens.
Regarding Mbappe future situation, it is not yet certain whether he will join Real Madrid or another team. Apart from that, I read in several sports media that Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of this season, but there is a possibility that he will stay if PSG this season manages to win the Champions League. Of course there is a lot of news that is not necessarily completely true with the Mbappe news, but with Real Madrid interest in Mbappe there is a possibility that it could become a reality at the end of this season.

I don't see that Mbappe is that arrogant, he does have a selfish nature but that won't stop big teams from recruiting him. Mbappe certainly has a pretty good future in the future because big teams like Real Madrid continue to spread appeals to get Mabppe signature. Let's wait for Mbappe's decision whether he likes to venture into the Premier League or LaLiga next season.
