You are right, if Arsenal can get at least a draw in their first meeting then their chances become bigger, because in the second meeting they will play the match with home status, of course it is a very good opportunity for them.
But Porto is not a club that can be conquered easily, their presence in this round shows that they can indeed compete. In the group stage they also did not disappoint because they could collect 12 points from the 6 matches played, actually it was the same points that Barcelona had, but they lost in goal productivity so that only put them in 2nd place.
Arsenal are also in an unhappy state for sure, as they failed to win in their last match in the domestic league and kept them in 2nd place.

That's why, because Porto is not an easy team to beat, Arteta will prepare his squad to play the match with very high performance. moreover, this match will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, the home of Porto. if they are able to steal full points at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters, the Gunners players will be happy to do their job very well. so, I'm quite sure that Arteta is not aiming for a draw in the first leg. theoretically, Arsenal will continue to use an offensive playing pattern. thus, it is certain that this match will be quite fierce. the problem is, the Gunners' young squad will be tested in this match. will Arsenal be able to overcome the obstacles when they visit Porto's headquarters, or will Arsenal experience the same thing as when competing at Lens' headquarters.

On the other hand, as the home team, Porto will not let Arsenal steal full points at home, that's why Sergio Conceicao will prepare his team's squad to fight with good performance when they face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League. the opportunity to play in front of their own supporters in the first leg, Conceicao's squad will do their job by doing their job very well. but if we refer to what the betting bookies are providing for the time being, Arsenal is superior to the home team. however, these odds are only temporary. ahead of the match, it's likely that will change. unless Arsenal experiences problems or is otherwise in a positive trend.

Talking about Arsenal in the Domestic League competition, I think we still have lots of opportunities to remain competitive. after all, there are still a lot of games remaining until the end of the season. well, let's just wait before the Porto vs Arsenal match.

I think that Luton will give Chelsea a tough time because they are fighting to survive the relegation zone, but I was surprised to see that Chelsea is winning against Luton Town with a big goal difference.

Manchester City will get back to form because Kevin De Bruyne is back to the Manchester City squad and he is on the bench for the Sheffield United match.

Right, in this match Chelsea was able to take the lead in the first half with a score of 0-2. Cole Palmer even scored two goals in this match. he scored in the 12th minute and in the 70th minute. however, in the 80th minute and 87th minute, Luton was able to reduce their defeat and in the end the match ended with a score of 2-3. as I predicted at the start, Luton will definitely be able to score goals in this match. unfortunately, the home team was unable to make this match end in a draw. my previous guess was that this match had the potential to end in a draw. however, Chelsea finally got full points in this match. fortunately, the option I chose was a handicap with +1.25. even though you don't get a full win, this option is better than other bets. unfortunately, Luton was unable to equalize. referring to match statistics, in the first half Chelsea dominated the game, two goals came from Palmer and Noni. entering the second half, Luton turned to dominate the game. very natural, because they had fallen behind with a score of 0-3. in the end, Luton was able to reduce the goal difference even though they still lost this match.

In the other match, Aston Villa vs Burnley, temporary position with score 2-1. the first round is over. my previous estimate was Over 3 goals for the battle between these two teams.
As for City, Pep Guardiola's squad was temporarily leading 1-0, Rodri scored a goal in the 14th minute. in the second half, Pep will definitely maximize his squad, perhaps by rotating or changing his strategy. I'm pretty sure that City will score at least 1 more goal against Burnley, we'll see in the second half.

So, the question is simple, in your gambling activities all through 2023, how much your biggest win?

And in loses as well, how much was your biggest loss?

Is it possible for you to calculate your cumulative wins and losses, and tell if 2023 was profitable or not; to you in terms of gambling?

Lets discuss..

Honestly, I don't know what to say to what you asked in this thread. I mean, I don't manage my gambling, whether it's the money I spend as deposits, let alone what we've lost due to losses in the last year. for me personally, the definition of gambling that I do is inversely proportional to what I have done in the past 5 years. that's why, I didn't count how many wins I got over the last year. on the other hand, I didn't calculate how much money the losses would have collected in the last year. the question is, will this make us much better? or, just to evaluate. because, I gamble just for fun. in particular, on sports betting. if I were to try to count the wins or remember the losses. honestly, I wouldn't do it. because for me, this is no longer fun.

So you see, in principle I know what I am doing, especially with the gambling that I do. I have sorted and chosen which gambling can result in winning my way and which gambling is just to pass the time after work activities. the point is, there are two differences in the gambling that I do. Let's take an example, when I'm having fun and just filling my free time I can play slots with the lowest bet. in contrast, when I focus on football betting, I will analyze it over and over again and look for betting options that are as ideal as possible with a single bet. thus, it is not uncommon for me to win in my sports betting, as well as wrong predictions. the point is, believe it or not, of the 4 or 5 matches that I predicted, at least 2 of my predictions failed miserably. if I'm lucky, my predictions are all correct and that gives quite a profit. well, that's enough to make me happy with my gambling. no need to calculate anything. if I lose today, let's just say everything I predicted failed miserably. no other words, end it and revel in something else.

Luton vs Chelsea

Chelsea has just return to the winning ways by win against Crystal Palace on Thursday and today they want to resumes their winning streak by attempts to gets the winning results from Luton and hopefully Chelsea can able to managed their performance and beat Luton because based on head to head statistics and squad quality obviously Chelsea is more better than Luton and the bookmakers provide low odds for Chelsea win @1.59 and probably this is safe bet for this match

If I look at the home team's squad, namely Luton. in every match they play, Rob Edwards' squad is always able to score at least 1 goal, whether it's a home or away match. in the next few hours, Luton will host Chelsea at Kenilworth Road, Luton's home ground. my guess is, it looks like this match will be quite tough. at the very least, Luton will provide quite fierce resistance in this match. plus, Rob Edwards' squad needs full points to secure their position from the red zone. apart from that, previously Luton was able to win two matches against Newcastle and Sheffield Utd. with the previous victory, at least it can motivate them, especially since this match is being held at their own headquarters. as for Chelsea, Pochettino's squad is not very stable when playing match after match. fortunately, after being defeated by Wolves, Chelsea was able to win again when they hosted the match against Cystal Palace. well, in this match Chelsea should be able to win considering that these two teams are quite different. likewise, if we refer to odds, Chelsea is @1.52 and Luton @5.80. theoretically, Chelsea should be able to win this match. well, in my estimation, this match will be quite tough. so, the handicap option seems to be the ideal choice with -1.25 @1.74 Luton..I think this match will end in a draw, so the ideal option is to choose the host with a handicap.

Aston Villa vs Burnley

As a host Aston Villa performance indeed a bit decline because from 2 recent matches they only can able to gets 1 point from 1 lose and 1 draw so Aston Villa might be want to utilized this match to return to the winning ways and actually it's not difficult for them to collect 3 points from this match because we all know Burnley performance was very poor this season however i am quite confident Aston Villa will be able to beat Burnley today even they will win with big scores today with 2 goals margin or more so that's why i think over 2.5 goals is good for this match but indeed the odds for this option is not high @1.57

For this match, on paper the home team should not have any significant problems when they host Burnley. but unfortunately, in the last two matches Aston Villa did not get positive results. well, the match is an opportunity for Unai Emery's squad to return to winning ways. moreover, Burnley is not a very strong opponent.  However, of course Burnley will try to do their best to produce points in this match. in particular, Burnley's position is in the relegation zone. like it or not, they have to do their job with hard work. well, I think the Over option is the ideal one with 3 goals @1.77. the scenario is, this match must have lots of goals. moreover, if the away team is able to score first. thus, Aston Villa will try to work hard to turn things around and come back with a win. well, let's just wait for the final result.

Again, Al Hilal showed us that they have no strong competitor in SPL this season. The point gap is surely 10 points now and they are still undefeated until matchday 19. Al Nassr seems difficult to overtake the points if Al Hilal can play consistently until the end of the season. This season is simply for Al Hilal, they have a great season. Mitrović scored again in the match against Al Feiha, he continues to increase his total goal to compete for the top scorer in SPL. No doubt that Mitrović is very shining with Al Hilal, he becomes a very productive striker.

I think there is no problem although Al Hilal seems not very easy to win the match. The most important thing that they succeed to get full points to maintain their position in the top of SPL. As long as they could get full points, it means they are safe to finish this season with a title. Well, if Al Hilal wins the title, it is very unfortunate for Ronaldo. He again fails to win the SPL title.


It seems like this match was going quite tough, with the defensive pattern implemented by Al Feiha with a 5-4-1 system. based on match statistics, Al Hilal controlled 73% of ball possession. in the first half, no goals were scored even though Al Hilal had 2 shots on target out of 7 total shots. 1 big chance, 1 hit the goal post. in this match it seemed like the match was going one way, seeing as the home team only had 2 total shots. in the second half, Al Hilal did not reduce the intensity of their game by continuing with an attacking pattern. in fact, it seems that Al Feiha was not given the opportunity to even threaten Al Hilal's defense or goal. looking at their statistics, Al Feiha didn't have any shooting opportunities.

To be honest, I didn't watch this match but it looks like Al Hilal really dominated this match. in the end, Al Hilal opened their lead in the 86th minute, after which Mitrovic scored a goal from the penalty spot in the final minutes of this match. with this result, Al Hilal continues to maintain its positive trend by achieving full points in the 19th week. and it seems that this positive trend will continue with very strong optimism. plus quite solid teamwork. in fact, Al Hilal is the team that has conceded the fewest goals so far. seeing what Al Hilal has shown so far, it is only natural that this team is the favorite to win the Saudi Pro League title again. last season, the Saudi Pro League trophy was won by Al Ittihad. this season, Al Hilal and Jorge Jesus seem to have the ambition to take back the league trophy that usually belongs to Al Hilal. however, there are actually still a lot of games left until this season ends. Al Nassr must consistently maintain a point distance from the top of the standings, while waiting for Al Hilal to slip up in several of their matches.

I don't think Feyenoord are that low, otherwise they really don't deserve to be in the Europa League this season. Feyenoord is a real threat to Roma this season in the Europa League, so no one should underestimate them even though Roma and their big names deserve to be favorites. Roma is inconsistent in its performance even though Mourinho is the coach, but Roma has a good chance of qualifying for the next round even though Feyenoord is the second best team in the Eredivisie this season.

In my opinion, Leverkusen is one of the favorites for the title this season in the European League apart from Liverpool. Roma are runners up who will try to do everything to win the title, but Milan also does not deserve to be ignored this season after failing in the Champions League.

We agree with what you said, that Rome currently only bears its big name. honestly, I don't mean to underestimate Jose Mourinho. but based on his background, also the system he sets in away matches. especially in cup competitions, his habitual patterns are never separated from the system he has always relied on. well, I think these two teams are quite unique in the way they are reunited. last season, Roma lost when they visited Feyenoord's headquarters even with a narrow score. then, won the match with a landslide result when playing as the home team. well, we can guess that in the first meeting in the playoffs, Jose Mourinho will likely have a pattern with a defensive system. and unfortunately, this is what makes it difficult for Roma to perform well in their domestic competitions.

Meanwhile for the Feyenoord squad, this team always carries an offensive system under the guidance of Arne Slot. this was interesting, so I decided to try looking at the odds options that the bookmaker provided. even though it is only temporary, at least the betting bookies provide an idea of ​​the current performance of the two teams. by playing at their own base, Arne Slot's squad is superior. interesting isn't it, so this match at least gives us an idea. in other words, Feyenoord has a chance to overthrow Roma at De Kuip, Feyenoord's home ground. what's certain is that we'll just have to wait before this match takes place. as for the other teams you mentioned, especially Leverkusen and Liverpool. of course, they have a high probability of competing for this championship trophy. the problem is whether these two teams will divide their focus or prioritize their position in their domestic league.

Bayern Munich have to face a team that necessarily is strong to enter the final game. A witnessed teams like Inter and Chelsea which were less favourite in the previous years that went through the final eliminating stronger opponents and made it to the finals.
Bayern Munich will face eventually Manchester City or Real Madrid or Inter or another good team later after winning against Lazio which are in bad forms. I think Bayern Munich shouldn't wish to face an easy team, they have to eliminate every rival they face to win the title. This year, many teams dropped in performance, including them, so they might pick this opportunity once they improve themselves.

To be sure, I don't want to speculate too far for Bayern Munich. basically, let's just wait until Bayern Munich visits Lazio's headquarters. or, in the second leg at the Allianz Arena. but theoretically, it looks like Bayern can beat Lazio in the knockout rounds. whether it's an away match or a home match, on paper Bayern are much more favored than their opposing team, their chances of qualifying for the next round also have a fairly high probability. after that, which team will be their opponent. if it's Madrid or City, these two teams are tough obstacles for Bayern Munich even though Tuchel actually has quite competitive players. moreover, in January it is certain that Bayern will be hunting for several players to make their team stronger as a whole. however, City and Madrid remain very tough competitors. if lucky, Bayern can meet other teams first. thus, their chances of advancing to the next phase are quite wide open. even so, Bayern Munich is quite ready to face Manchester City and Real Madrid. however, to overthrow these two teams. not a very easy job for Tuchel.  Likewise with City, the team they are playing against is not too tough at their class level. likewise with Real Madrid, who will visit RB Leipzig's headquarters in the first leg. however, the results may be different from what we think. apart from that, there are several clubs that will also fight as hard as possible even though they are not nominated as the strongest competitors. so all the teams competing in the round of 16 will try to do their best work. there is no other choice but to wait for this knockout round to be held.

Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid as he wants to make the team more stable and stronger. Although Real Madrid's performance is good, their squad is still not good enough. We see Vini and Rodrygo's poor performances in every match. Bellingham's excellent performance is the reason for Madrid's consistent performance. Ancelotti will likely bid farewell to Real Madrid fans after stabilizing Madrid's attack.

Ah, it seems like this rumor is really outside the box that said previously, that this season will be Ancelotti's last season at the Santiago Bernabeu. but, it seems there has been a change of plans. I also brought a report from Romano, that Don Carlo has signed a new contract at Real Madrid which is valid until 2026.
regarding what you said, I have another point of view. if Ancelotti actually uses a flexible pattern, I mean there are three players on the front line with a 4-3-2-1 pattern. Rodrygo, Viji Jr and Bellingham. anyway, before Vini was injured. if the Brazilian duo is having difficulty, then the pattern up front changes. which means, Bellingam becomes a center forward. we can even refer to several matches, played by Real Madrid. and so far, these tactics and strategies are quite effective. that's why Bellingham is more fertile in terms of scoring goals. played in 16 matches, scoring 13 goals.

Well, now we return to the discussion regarding Ancelotti, as Romano reported in his tweet. so, Ancelotti will stay with Real Madrid. honestly, I can't confirm the validity of this news. however, if a journalist like Romano were to report it, we can be sure it would be close to the truth. I don't know what actually happened, but what is certain is that previously the Real Madrid coach was linked with coaching the Brazilian national team. however, it seems that he is more interested in managing a club rather than the national team level. it could also be that Don Carlo has another vision and mission.

I fully agree on that , that Xabi Alonso is one of if not the best young coaches today , and also on top on that he will be for sure get at some point to the bif teams.
He was already a very good player when he was playing and he is continue that now also as a coach.
There are Florian Wirtz , Granit Xhaka , Alejandro Grimaldo , Victor Boniface that are very very good players he have.
Not famous as others but maybe on that way to it.

Florian Wirtz, Victor Boniface, Jeremie Frimpong, are young players who may be heading to a better level. yeah, like you said. at least, these three players played very well for Leverkusen. as for Granit Xhaka, Alejandro Grimaldo, they are quite established players. in particular, Xhaka's role has had a big influence on the squad under Xabi Alonso. this team has an extraordinary combination of players. also, the bond and chemistry between the players is quite good. as a result, Alonso was able to bring his team this far without defeat in various competitions. well, isn't this an extraordinary achievement.

For me personally, Xabi's skill in polishing his team has paid off sweetly. apart from that, the Leverkusen players played by building solid cooperation in every line. even though, overall Leverkusen does not have big-name players. but in fact, now Leverkusen is a threat to Bayern Munich and also to the Europa League. so, it would be very natural for Xabi Alonso to be looked at by several clubs who are interested in his services to become a coach at several of these clubs. including Real Madrid, who had linked Aloson as Ancelotti's successor. well, we'll see how Leverkusen play their match again. I think this is quite interesting, because we will see again whether Alonso is still able to keep his squad's performance on the right track. or, their struggle so far can be stopped by Bayern Munich. especially, in the match between these two teams. well, interesting isn't it?

I think everyone feels the same way as you and it is a fact that PSG is always able to dominate Ligue 1 and feels normal and there is nothing exciting every season. Other teams, like the participants, are taking part in this competition and that doesn't change anything. The competition at the start of the season always offers interesting things and even weak teams also have the opportunity to feel at the top but unfortunately that doesn't last long and over time everyone experiences a decline in performance so PSG will once again occupy the throne.

It's no longer a secret that PSG in the Champions League is an ordinary team because they are not used to the competition in Ligue 1, so when they play against teams that have high intensity in this competition, they always go home faster. Never mind in the EPL, maybe even in the Italian Serie A, maybe PSG won't be able to do anything because the champions there change every season.

Let's just say we agree with what you say, especially for most of the points you say, after all PSG always dominates the Ligue 1 competition. even though currently two of their big stars have left, PSG is still strong in Ligue 1. even potentially much more  strong, if the young players they have reach their level of play. I mean, like Kolo Muani, Goncalo Ramos, Barcola and other players. in Enrique's hands, PSG can improve a lot with their young players regardless of Mbappe's role. because after all, rumors of Mbappe leaving at the end of this season are still a hot topic of conversation. PSG is now at the top of the standings with 40 points, 5 points ahead of Nice. If PSG is able to progress smoothly, they have the potential to leave the teams below them with a fairly large gap in points. well, we'll see how Enrique takes his team in Ligue 1 until the end of this season.

Well, for the Champions League. PSG should be able to compete fiercely in this competition every season. because after all, PSG always has a good front line, especially when PSG has the MNM trio. It's a shame, not all PSG players are good in several lines. in particular, the midfielders they have. especially, for attacking midfielders. also, a competent trainer. now, Enrique qualifies for it, but not his players. I mean, PSG this season cannot be said to be strong. moreover, there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses that Enrique must fix. plus, bringing in some newcomers. well, the coach's target is an established attacking midfielder. if they get it, at least PSG will be much better. likewise, when they play their matches in the Champions League. or, at least it can be compared with teams from Serie A. provided that what Enriue wants has been fulfilled. both from bringing in several newcomers, as well as the system he implemented.

I believe what happened to Arsenal last season will happen again, because they have started playing weak games, and he will affect their chances of winning the Premier League trophy, and make Liverpool win, and now that Manchester City are in the top 4 in the league table, I believe Guadiola will try his hardest to top the league if Liverpool make any mistakes, because if Manchester City top the league, I don't think they will get any club that will bring them down again in the Premier League if they top the table now because guadiola will not make any mistakes that will make him drop any point. I expected Liverpool or Arsenal to win the league title this season, but I see Arsenal starting to play weak games in their matches, and I don't believe West Ham can defeat Arsenal so easily in Emirates Stadium, which is why football is unpredictable. West Ham currently leads Manchester United by two points, and if they continue to perform well they can finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

There are still 19 matches left for all teams to complete their matches this season. which means, what the Premier League presents is still very interesting. currently, Liverpool is in first place and is only 2 points ahead of Arsenal. next, Liverpool will play Newcastle. after that, Liverpool will play quite busy matches, both in the Premier League and also in the EFL Cup competition. what's even tougher is that Liverpool will also meet Chelsea, Arsenal and host the match against Manchester City. if Klopp is able to bring his team smoothly in these matches, Liverpool's chances of winning a trophy this season are quite big. but it won't be that easy, because after all Liverpool's competitors will try to look even better.

Too bad, I didn't think Arsenal would lose to Wesh Ham. in the end, the Gunners were unable to overtake the leaders of the Premier League standings. however, if Arsenal is able to progress smoothly in future matches, especially when they host Liverpool later. this means that Arsenal can shift Liverpool's position at the top of the standings in this competition. talking about the defeat when they hosted the match against Wesh Ham and referring to statistics, Arsenal played quite well. unfortunately, every opportunity they had was unable to convert into goals. even though, they have many opportunities. well, Arsenal needs a pure, established striker

Likewise with City, which is currently in 4th place. however, City still has one match postponed. if Pep Guardiola's squad appears again with an impressive performance. plus, the players are recovering from injuries. It's not impossible, if City can catch up and get rid of the teams above them one by one. after all, City still has a chance for that. well, isn't this quite interesting?. at least, there are several teams that are able to compete closely in the top 4 standings for now. so let's just follow and enjoy.

He just didn't become a player that Erik Ten Hag didn't like, which is why he was discarded after his long service. Because if we look at Erik Ten Hag, he chooses players based on what he likes, the proof is that he brings many players from his former team, and those are the players he likes.
De Gea did make some mistakes at Mamchester United, but we must judge as a whole, because Manchester United's defense is also problematic, making goalkeepers difficult.
Onana even I see worse than De Gea, maybe we have seen a lot of mistakes he made during Manchester United's recruitment this season. It doesn't look special at all, even though he is one of the players who performed brilliantly at the World Cup.

It is important to note why Ten Hag is more interested in bringing in some of the players he previously managed with his previous club. also, not because of Ten Hag's liking for the players he has coached. but more precisely, the players he brought in, especially those who had worked with him before, knew very well what the coach wanted. apart from the player having quite good talent and quality, Ten Hag wants to implement his system at Manchester United. we know very well that Onana is one of those who has been under Ten Hag's guidance while with another club and it is hoped that this goalkeeper can meet Ten Hag's expectations. unfortunately, Onana has not been able to do her job as fully as possible. He made several blunders that he shouldn't have made, that's why his performance wasn't good. even though if we try to look at every statistic in every match, Onana isn't that bad. although in fact, as I said, Onana made several blunders. apart from that, Manchester United's defense is poor.

As for De Gea, the goalkeeper has become an iconic player with The Red Devil. unfortunately, the system that the United coach wants to build is not suitable for De Gea. that doesn't mean De Gea can't play well again, it's just that Ten Hag wants to implement a system that involves the goalkeeper taking part in building attacks. that's why Onana was the main choice at that time, with limited financial conditions for shopping. It's a shame that United is experiencing a lot of problems within the United camp, I don't think the team's performance as a whole is stable. so, it's only natural that there will be an impact and influence.

Pape is turning 18 next summer and is set to be part of Chelsea's project. But why does Chelsea always focus on young talent instead of buying experienced players? It would be better for Chelsea to invest in a matured striker who suits their style of play. They need players with experience to strengthen the team immediately, rather than focusing on players for the next 4-5 years.

First of all, I think a team that is made out of only young players are always going to do better instead of a team made out of only experienced/old players. But the thing is, a team which has a good combination of young and old players are always going to do better when compared to only young or only old players. Chelsea should look to find a good balanced team like that. I do not know what the plan is from them. Because at the moment it does not seem like anything is working. I do hope that they will be able to make things work. But I am still very skeptical, to be honest.

Ideally, a team must have a balance of young players who are their regeneration, as well as players who have experience and are established and can be relied on. this combination, would be ideal. like Manchester City. they have talented young players, as well as more established players.

Well, now we are talking from Chelsea's needs. in my view, Chelsea clearly has to bring in an established striker for their current squad. very clearly, they cannot rely on the existing players and even the pure strikers they have at the moment. that's also why, Chelsea struggle to improve their ranking and tend to be in the middle of the table. actually there are many choices, it's just whether the player they are targeting is willing or not. like Osimhen, he is established enough to be brought to Stamford Bridge. this player from Nigeria is still young, but can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals. it's clear this is what Chelsea needs, and the problem is whether the Napoli star is willing or not. there are also several other names that Arsenal are also targeting, although I haven't really followed their developments in the last week. but what is certain is that if Chelsea or Poche do not make changes, it is certain that Chelsea will have difficulty finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Yes, in the January transfer window, PSG must be able to make the most of this moment in order to get the players they are targeting who are compatible with PSG and are able to strengthen PSG in their position. They don't have money problems, so this should be easier. Because after all, the possibility of Mbappe staying at PSG is very small and he has even said that he will soon leave PSG. So, of course this will disrupt PSG's strength. while PSG must become stronger. Not only for the French League but especially for matches in the UCL which are actually very competitive with various local teams.

That's what PSG management, or Luis Enrique, should have done. the point is, Enrique still needs some newcomers. in particular, as he wanted an established attacking midfielder. also, considering that the PSG squad is not very strong at the moment in the Champions League. in the end, as we often see, Enrique had to repeatedly rotate and change his system. in other words, currently Enrique is using a system that is not the one he usually uses or the one he often used when he was a coach at his previous club.
well, we don't need to talk about financial problems for PSG. because we know very well, they are able to bring in any player they want to target. the only problem is, every player that PSG is targeting, of course the player must also be interested or agree to join this giant team from the French league. if I'm not mistaken, PSG is limited in bringing in players. that's why, currently Goncalo Ramos is on loan. as I said above, this condition is a problem for PSG. so, if Enrique wants to bring in some newcomers, what else does he want. which means, PSG will have to release several of their players in the January transfer window. we'll see, because I don't really know for sure and I'm not really sure about what I'm saying.
As for Mbappe, as we have heard from rumors, this star player will end his contract this season. ideally, Enrique will look for a replacement or target a replacement after Mbappe actually leaves. yeah, at least they need to evaluate which players to keep and which players to let go.

Real Madrid will be the luckiest team if Girona shares points with Atletico, because there will be a difference in points even though it is very thin. Girona performance in the previous week was not bad at all, and it is not easy to always be able to secure full points even though the team Girona is facing is Real Betis. Girona success in overthrowing defending champion Barcelona surprised everyone, many people were curious about how Girona closed the first half of the season against Atletico.

Statistically Girona has a better record, but we cannot ignore the fact that Atletico is one of the elite teams in La Liga. Based on this background, the meeting between these two teams will be very interesting in the future. Risking their position in creating a point difference in the standings, especially in the top four, which affects their chances of hunting for the championship trophy at the end of the season.

So far Girona has become one of the teams that has attracted attention in La Liga, in fact Michel has been able to bring his team's squad to compete at the top 4 level in the La Liga standings. even Girona previously topped the standings, although now Girona is below Real Madrid but still has the same points. if the match between Girona and Altetico ends with Girona winning, Madrid still has the potential to maintain the points gap by having a meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu later to overthrow Girona. moreover, if Girona can be overthrown by Diego Simeone's squad. obviously, a situation like this would be very beneficial for Madrid to increase the points gap and ensure its position is quite safe at the top.

Talking about the Girona vs Atletico Madrid match, this match is going to be quite an exciting match. the reason is, Girona is also quite productive in terms of scoring goals. in fact, Girona has scored 42 goals in 18 matches. which means, there could be a lot of goals in the Girona vs Atletico Madrid match. as for Atletico, as you said, we cannot ignore the fact that ATM is one of the elite teams in this competition. also, considering that ATM is in 3rd place, of course they will aim for victory to reduce the points gap from Girona's ranking. however, Girona will have the advantage of playing at home when they host Atletico, Michel's squad cannot be underestimated this season. that's why Barcelona collapsed when they hosted Girona in Week 16. it is not impossible that Girona will do the same thing when they meet Altetico in Week 19. well, let's just wait when the two teams meet in the next match.

I wouldn't say there's any luck in the Champions League, especially if we're talking about the final match. Although I thought Real Madrid and Manchester City would play in the final. And I didn't think that Inter would play in the final. Maybe this year someone can surprise me too.
Well as far as am concerned luck is always a factor when it comes to football but in most cases it usually doesn't come while sometimes the unexpected happens in the so called final games between the two last teams and sometimes the team we expect to be in the finals are not always the teams that makes it to the final and in such cases we might called it that the actual team was actually lucky.

If we relate everything, of course it will very much be related to luck. so we can't let go of luck, just like in football. however, in football there are coaches, players, tactics, strategies and systems that are applied. each team will try to do their best when playing their match. the rest, let the course of a match determine. if we refer to Inter Milan last season, they were very lucky not to meet strong opponents in the next rounds after qualifying from the group phase. the case is different with City, they have quality player resources and coincidentally City was on fire last season. it is fitting that City won the trophy with their consistency and performance at that time, and it was not just luck, but they deserved it. as for Madrid, they were defeated by City.

However, in football it is unique. things like this that we can attribute to luck, just like Inter in the group phase last season. Barcelona should be able to escape. unfortunately, with many players injured. plus, Xavi hasn't found the right pattern format yet. so, they had difficulties and even had difficulties against Inter Milan. by the way, this season, several teams are still being looked at as strong contenders to win the Champions League trophy. like Madrid, one of them, City, the representative from England, Munich with Kane. and perhaps, there could be surprises presented by this competition from round to round until the final match. Well, let's just enjoy every match that is presented, especially for this round of 16 match.

Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning

In fact, we can't know for sure whether someone really said something like what you asked in this thread, or? and yeah, we can't confirm the validity of these claims. I want to ask instead, do you think this question is important to you. are there any benefits you can gain? or do you just want to know the response from the community? for me personally, everyone is free to have an opinion according to what they put forward and even claim it, as you asked in the title theme of this thread. all of these are basically a person's rights, the most important thing is that they are not detrimental or misleading. so you see, the idea of ​​having fun doesn't mean we don't expect rewards for the gambling we do. we are even well aware that in this type of entertainment, it takes a certain amount of money to have fun in it. well, we can imply what it means to have fun. the answer depends relatively on each individual or each gambler. let's say we lose in a gambling session, we have made efforts to win. however, the results were not as expected. for me, this is clearly no longer fun. so, ideally I should stop it.

For me, the idea of ​​having fun is the right thing to apply to gambling. why, yes so that we don't target big wins after big wins. in fact, quite a few gamblers are trying to make quick money from gambling. things like this will release us to the level of awareness that our priority is pleasure. but that doesn't mean we don't want to win. losing is something that is certain, especially in gambling, so just enjoy it knowing that you are losing. otherwise, the emotion of anger will push us to do something beyond our limits. for example, making a deposit again even though the money is for other purposes. there are also some people who do it purely for fun, if they lose they will be fine. despite the fact, they suffer losses. if they were capable, it would have no effect.  However, this type of gambler is very rare and usually they are not active gamblers like us. as for those like this, they usually only gamble occasionally to refresh their minds after busy activities in business, work, or so on. so, the point is what do you think?

Actually, Arsenal has the advantage because they have only played 18 times, while Liverpool have played 19 times.
If Arsenal can win against West Ham even with a narrow score, they will move up to 1st place with the same number of matches 19 times in all.
On the other hand, Liverpool must prepare to win the next matches and hope that Arsenal will achieve bad results to reduce the point difference.

However, looking at the statistics of the two teams between Arsenal and West Ham, I believe Arsenal is the favorite.
They are at their best. The players' mentality is also very good overall. Moreover, they will compete at home, which is certainly good capital to beat West Ham optimistically.

After getting a draw against Liverpool at Anfield, in the previous match. in this match, Arsenal must get full points to shift the ranking occupied by the top of the Premier League standings. Arsenal will host a match against West Ham in the next few hours. to ensure full points, Arteta will likely reduce the core of his starting eleven to achieve their target. moreover, the match was held at the Emirates Stadium. playing in front of their own supporters will increase the motivation of the Gunners players. plus, Arsenal always achieve positive results playing at their own headquarters. in 9 matches at the Emirates, the Gunners achieved 7 wins and 2 draws. so it would be very natural if the home team is given more priority by the bookies in the match meeting which will be held in a few moments.

As for the opposing team, West Ham cannot be underestimated. in the last 5 matches in this competition, their achievements are no different from Arsenal. David Moyes' men won 3 of their matches, lost 1 and drew 1. however, if we refer to the odds provided by the bookies. there is a quite obvious gap, Arsenal with odds @1.30 and for West Ham with @9.80. from this factor alone, we can judge that it seems that Arsenal has a high probability of overthrowing their opponent. actually, Arsenal is one of my favorite teams. I am optimistic that Odegaard and his colleagues will be able to achieve positive results. thus, Arsenal will temporarily shift Liverpool's position. well, will this match produce lots of goals? if yes then the Over option can be taken into account in betting on this match, at least the result of this match must be a score of 3-1. or, bet on the -1.75 handicap option at odds @1.81. however, at least Arsenal must score 2 goals without reply. so, let's see the final result of the battle between these two teams.

~~

A coach will be able to bring out the best potential from a club if the club has players and a style of play that suits the coach. That doesn't mean that if you are very great as a coach at a club, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be even greater if you coach a club with higher quality players. There are many factors such as the coach's approach to the players or how the coach manages the existing squad to be able to play with the expected tactics. I agree that Xabi is a great young coach at the moment but if he were to coach Real Madrid then it would be a different challenge.

We agree with what you say, so there's no point in comparing each coach, in fact I prefer to just speak according to their portion. just like Xabi Alonso, who is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen. the team which was originally in the red zone, was able to advance with a very good trend and finished in 6th place in the previous season. now, Xabi has brought his squad to the top of the Bundesliga standings. of course, what we see at Leverkusen now cannot be separated from his touch in handling the squad under his care. we can give high appreciation, even though at the same time several top team competitors are not at their best. likewise with what you said, it doesn't mean that Xabi can handle Real Madrid successfully even though it is filled with very competitive players. in fact, the challenge will become increasingly difficult. especially, if a club is filled with many established stars. what is certain is that the atmosphere in the dressing room will be very influential.

Well, I'm reminded of Nagelsmann, who found it difficult to handle his team in Bayern Munich's own dressing room. that's why disharmony does not occur. and, this does not apply to Xabi Alonso with Leverkusen. but it seems that because Leverkusen doesn't have many big-name players, this seems to give Xabi Alonso more freedom. and uniquely, when Xabi was linked with a giant Spanish League club, he even said he was not worthy enough to handle a team as big as Real Madrid. for me, the right answer was given by Xabi Alonso, he was measuring his abilities with Leverkusen. that's why, if I'm not mistaken, Alonso prefers to stay at Leverkusen. well, let's just see how the Leverkusen squad and Xabi Alonso play out match after match in various competitions. especially maintaining their ranking at the top of the Bundesliga standings, until this season ends. and that is quite a challenge to make happen.

Happy Christmas to all gamblers. I have been reading some threads and comments that many people have been saying that they find it very difficult to stop gambling (not only gambling addicts), but on one hand, I really think that it is not hard to quit gambling even when you are winning and not winning, but it is you who can't control yourself. Bets can not force one to stake, but a gambler can force themselves to stake a bet, even when he or she does not have money to bet. Some gamblers did not learn how to gamble. They just see themselves doing it, but they can't stop it. Why because they can't control themselves, even when they are not an addicted gambler?
What do we have to say about this?

Well, what do you think is self-control? why can't they control themselves, even they are not addicted gamblers. at this point, it would be difficult to understand based on your analogy. however, I can understand what you mean. also, the point for "even when he or she does not have money to bet" at this point it is clear that someone can be said to be addicted, although we cannot be sure of the level. in fact, we've discussed things like this in many threads. well, why would someone have difficulty controlling themselves. the answer depends on how the person is, even for you, me, us, it's different. everyone is not the same at their respective levels. in fact, we may also have different perspectives on gambling viewpoints. for what, and why do you gamble. each person's answer and reaction will be different, especially those who are truly addicted

One of the causal factors is dopamine and endropine, at this point, we have discussed this in many threads in the community. honestly, I don't know for sure how it happens to every gambler. I mean for the point of self-control, as we you mean. we also cannot measure everyone who likes to gamble, especially if we are not experts in this field of analysis. Well, for me personally the principle is simple, how do we take responsibility for ourselves and the gambling we do. Understanding is important, there are many articulations that people can apply as prevention ideas in the context of self-control. although in reality, in practice it is not as easy as we say.
