The first half has ended and Barcelona hasn't scored, Barcelona did control the match but but Osasuna gave fierce resistance and I was worried that something surprising could happen. Based on the Static States Osasuna made 5 shots and 2 on target this means Osasuna always opens opportunities even in pressure. Barcelona might qualify for the final but I doubt it through regular time I mean maybe through extra time 2x15 or even penalties. I saw Robert Lewandowski in the squad this means that Barcelona is really eyeing the final.
The game ended in favor of Barcelona winning by two goals, the first half was really not an easy one for Barcelona but then they were able to make up for it in the second half, the first half ended goalless with osasuna having multiple chances which they did missed which turned in the advantage of Juventus.

Barcelona had a deserving second half victory, Barcelona had more attempts on goal and a Great possession of the ball than osasuna so they had a better chance and they did utilized it for their victory, I wasn't expecting Barcelona to do any less since they were playing from home but then I didn't expect the level of struggle thy had in the first half because I felt they would just win with out much stress. According to their H2H Barcelona has won them most times the ever met , Barcelona are likely to be the champions of the super cup

We all know that the trophy this season only belongs to Inter Milan and Juventus because only these two teams are the most consistent since the beginning of the season and I don't think other clubs have a chance even AC Milan has come out of the struggle. The fight between the two teams is getting closer in the next 3 weeks we will see who is the most powerful club in the Italian League as well as the club closest to the trophy. I hope Juventus can do something great this season, Juventus have been missing the opportunity to win the title for too long.
The trophy cannot belong to both team rather it will belong to one amongst them at the end of the season. Both teams have really been quite outstanding I'm their performance this season amongst all other teams in the serie A, they both have very good form and team depth which looks much better than other squad in the serie A.

AC Milan isn't doing really bad and I don't think they should be underestimated, inter Milan and Juventus are both in the race to the top and winning the trophy by the end of the season, I think Juventus is even very likely to win much more than inter Milan because every effort by inter Milan to further broaden the gap between them and Juventus keeps getting almost futial as Juventus keeps closing the gap and if they are able to win their next two matches, Juventus will be sure to get pass inter Milan to the top of the table and probably win the title this season.

The transfer of several mainstay players also had an impact on Manchester City's performance for example ̇lkay Gündoğan, previously his contribution for the team was needed but for several reasons Manchester City released this player. As you said injury de Bruyne is also very significant impact In fact, we see Manchester City always having trouble in scoring, fortunately this player has recovered. Now Manchester City needs to play extra to pursue Liverpool and they should not miss every opportunity including in the coming match against Newcastle 3 points are the final target.
Currently the little set back Manchester city is suffering is no way resulting from the transfer of those players but more from the current injury they have with their key player, that has been the most challenge they are facing at the moment and it's normal for almost any big team to suffer some set back when their key players are injured.

At the beginning of the season when all these key players were fit and in form playing, we can attest to the fact that Manchester city was doing really well as a team and at se point got to the top of the table so definitely they will most likely get back to their feet at the return of these players and never has it been that the exit of a few players became such a problem to Manchester city, guardiola has always gat a good way of making almost perfect replacement for any players that exits the team at almost any time.
1544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 11, 2024, 09:30:29 PM
De Bruyne, Doku, and Haaland are the key players of Man City. When they recover from injury and play again for Man City, they surely will bring significant impact on the squad. I'm sure Man City will be strong again, they will focus on achieving another success in any competition. So, it is interesting to see how Man City performance in the second half of the season.
This trio is of very great importance to Manchester city as a team, their impact at the beginning of the season before their cases of injury was definitely such that can't be forgotten in a hurry and of course their absence is definitely felt at some point as the season has progressed so far.

Their return will really mean a lot to Manchester city as it will also boost their confidence and their team depth and strength will definitely get much more better than it is now so they will definitely have more chances both at the UCL and the premier league although they still have a good team who have really been performing well enough even in the absence of these key player, although guardiola always have a way of reducing his team dependency on any player and that has helped them alot so far.

I have been subjected to such a situation and have not been able to repay my loan till now. I don't know how many years it might take me to pay it off. Because it was a very big amount for me. And that's why I shared my real experience here.  Everyone only shares their winning stories to attract others but no one ever shares their losing stories which is why many new gamblers do not hesitate to jump into gambling without thinking. so everyone should be very careful about gambling activity
Except you are lucky to win hugely from your stake then it will really be difficult to pay back such loans as you may be too constrained such that you may want to win much more before wanting to pay back that which you borrowed and in the process, you could possibly end up Lossing everything all at once.

Winning stories are the best and interesting in as much as people do often not share their Lossing story, most persons aswell Also do not want to share in your story of failure but only the wins so they would Lear to build new strategy from that which you used to win and so this has caused so many to limit their stories to only their wins aside which they will keep to their selves. Newbie gamblers mostly fall victim of talking in only winning stories and don't really understand there have been series of losses before the wins became a reality.

VIP programs comes with benefits that you wouldn't be able to access as a regular customer so it becomes something different and Worth giving a trial because if you are just a regular customer you are definitely not receiving these preference except you agree to being their VIP programs.

The benefits could include special bonuses which allows them stake higher than they would have with the funds they already had. But then a few disadvantages comes with that vip casino program and if you are ready to bear the cost then you can join because they usually have a limited amount you can stake as a gambler and you don't stake below such minimum as it's part of the requirements to staying in the VIp. Their payouts are usually processed even fast than the regular customer.

No, i don't thing the gambler suffer the most.  They bring it on themselves.  But the family - theyre the real victims.  Financial hardship, emotional distressm, families torn apart - that's what the loved ones endure.  And sometimes, like in my cousins' case, the kids pick up those harmful gambling habits too.  

There's no doubt about it - gambling addiction ruins way more lives than just the gamblers.  I saw it firsthand.
It will not be really fair to think that the effects is more on the family than it will be on the gambler because as the originator of the various effects that results from the addiction, they suffer a lot emotionally and other wise which some times leads them to indulging in self harm due to the effects of these habit.

Gambling addiction in it's entirety is not something anyone supports but then its not a good reason enough to totally despise an addict as that may be exposing such a person to further harmful habit and unhealthy indulgence because they feeling despised is enough to get them into depression of which will definitely lead to even worse after effects. The family too have a good share of the effects as their finance in most cases crumbles which can possibly cause them to be in more worse situations.
1548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 11, 2024, 08:12:25 PM
It'll boils down to where the person is and how fat the person pocket is. Citizens from the richer countries $50 is nothing to them, they can bet with it without even considering if they are going to lose, but most people in poor countries wouldn't even think about it due to the higher value of $50 in their local currency, so it all depends on how valuable is it to you as a person.
In First world countries where they have a good number of their populations who are above average as a standard of living,and they also use the Dollar well enough $50 may not seem like a big deal to them because they probably spend more than that sometimes in their daily expenditure.

By ratio, I don't think that's too much to sacrifice for such amount especially if you become lucky just like the winner, that's making over 1000% profit on your capital and it's more than a very good deal and worth every of the risk especially when it favours you . The only challenge will be that the chances you win is very slim and uncertain which makes it very risky to play but then if you don't see a big deal with loosing $50 then you can give it a trial but for others in third world countries I'm sure most persons will make a deal of $50 .
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is the money manager? is it a casino or game provider? on: January 11, 2024, 02:52:32 PM
Most of the games in online casinos come from third parties or game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Bgaming, Pgsoft, Play'N Go, etc. When playing at any casino, we will use their services. Perhaps only the house edge games are fully owned and powered by the casino

So who actually manages finances? is it the casino itself or the game provider? Does the casino only get a commission from the game provider or buy the game license from the game provider?
The casino obviously manages the finance and thats why your payments are usually made to the casino and not any third party, although they may using different payment gateway to receive and accept payment but then it still doesn't mean they have the don't control the finance.

They bear the losses and also make the payment when gamblers loose, they mostly get license from the game providers because most of the game providers have no intention of been involved in gambling, they mostly want to create fun and entertainment for others and basically that's what most o the  games created was for but the casino get the license and make it one of their games and the games provider are been paid for the license and the casino reserves the right to the game.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

PSG have sold enough players this season that they only signed Dembele from Barcelona. There were many other star players including Messi Neymar in PSG but in the new season we don't see any star player except Mbappe in this club. Last season PSG released defenders, released strikers but did not buy any players, maybe they will look to enrich their squad in the next transfer window. If the team plans for the next season, they will certainly give the utmost importance to every position from the team's defense to the strike.
The truth is that having that too much players was not doing PSG much good because one of the things I noticed about PSG that time when they have Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Mbappe and so many other player, was that it affected the performance of PSG because it was as if there was no much understanding between those players and that was the reason why they were having issues wining matches because of there over squad, if you watch PSG in those days you will observe what I'm saying but since they sold almost all those players that was when PSG were able to come back to there normal performance, so perhaps PSG doesn't need too much players but what they just need is few players that can add to there improvement.
Having much players didn't help them because at the time what they needed was much more than just these players been present in the team but then it's seemed at that point that the priority was placed on having the players with out much focus on the tactical force on the team, and other possible challenges the team may be having.

These players were jus too much and it seemed like there was conflict of personality amongst them because they were all big names and will all want to at some point show case their capacity on personal levels but sadly it wasn't helping the team because they had almost no proper communication amongst them on the pitch and Messi just left Barcelona for the first time and he was yet to adapt to football outside Spain so there were just too many factors to address if they were to win the UCL with that squad, and even till now they have still gat to work on the team spirit and cooperation amongst the players especially on the pitch.

Real Madrid will definitely have a good chance of winning the Champions League during this season even if they don't buy Mbape because this team is strong with or without their player Mbappe and they still be the favorite team in this tournament and now if they successfully here Mbapep from PSG, they can have much more chance to win the Champions League and obviously all other teams won't have the chance to stand against a team like them.

The chances of real Madrid winning the champions league have nothing to do with mbappe coming to Madrid, I believe strongly that even if he's absent they could still possibly win the champions league and aswell also lose it even in his presence so it not dependent on his presence because they have so far been doing well in both the UCL and the la Liga yet mbappe isn't part of the team.

The likes of vinicius and Bellingham is really doing their best to making up for the flaws that could have been seen in the front line, rodrygo is also not left out so Real Madrid has got a good team that could still achieve the UCL regardless only that mbappe would be an added advantage but wouldn't be the spare figure to enable them win the champions league, they have done it before without him and still can in his absence, seeing the performance of Real Madrid against Atletico tonight in their other league, shows that they could possibly do well at the UCL.
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 10, 2024, 11:07:01 PM
If the casino I’m currently using should make such bet available for me I’ll bet on it without stress. Whether I bet on it or not won’t change what’s going to happen so why not just take the opportunity to make myself a little cash ?

But if I have to create a different account on a casino just so that I can bet on it, I won’t and that’s the only limiting factor I can currently think of.
Exactly, the obvious is very clear and I'm sure the casino aswell are very much aware so they are definitely not going to let people just get free money just like that so most definitely they may not put it up for gambling and if they do it will have a very little odd such that you may need a very high stake to be able to make good profit off it.

The approval is mostly likely to take place because so far a lot have been do as it regards the sec approving the ETF so if it's there on the casino to place a bet on its then it's definitely an opportunity to make some few bucks because it will most likely turn out in your favor except if it goes otherwise which it's very unlikely but then I'm yet to see any casino make Open a stake for the possible outcome of the ETF even though I know they do make Open bets for other events with much uncertainties but this case has some good level of certainty so that could be the reason why.

Last season Liverpool's performance was not good at all but this season they are able to show good performance so far.  Last season Manchester City ended the season by winning the title and at the beginning of the season Manchester City seemed to be more favorites to win the Premier League title but with Liverpool's current performance Liverpool is undoubtedly a big name to win the English Premier League. The teams in the English Premier League are stronger than all the teams in the European League, so if Liverpool can win the English Premier League title, they can definitely win the European League title. To reach the final of the Europa League, Liverpool must play according to the rules in the next matches, but Liverpool can win the Europa League title for the first time.
Contrarily Liverpool did started off on a relatively fair note last season but then towards the end of the season they recorded some set backs that got them missing an opportunity at the trophy and probably qualifying for the champions league, they rather made it to the Europa which wasn't worse after all.

This season has been a really different season for Liverpool when compared to their performance last season, they have so much of brilliance in their performance this seems such that they have turn out to be one of the favourite to winning both the premier and Europa league titles by the end of this season. All Liverpool may need at This time is the ability to continually maintain their consistency and staying productive from every of their next games they play.

Tomorrow we will see what Barcelona, ​​who is in poor form, can do against Osasuna. For now, we will focus on the Real Madrid - Atletico Madrid match in 2 hours. In my opinion, both teams are strong enough to beat Barcelona right now. Barcelona must be very lucky not to be paired with one of them. I think Real Madrid will win this fight between Madrid teams. They have important and quality players, they can change the flow of the game at any moment.
Barcelona even in their weakest form, I don't expect that osasuna would be a problem for them to handle Osasuna is a team that wouldn't be categorized as a strong team , their dept and strength is no way compared to that of Barcelona as they are more like an average team when compared to Barcelona.

Even in their weakest form I don't expect Barcelona to lose to osasuna, currently Barcelona have got raphina at the front line who seem to be in his best form at the moment, he has been recently involved in most of the goals Barcelona has recorded recently and assist aswell so he's a threat to osasunas defense line, also there's Felix and and others too so Barcelona is most likely winning this game, although it's not a la Liga game but then I think it's an opportunity for Barcelona to seeing to securing a trophy.

He has not been in charge of Napoli for 2 months yet. We seem to be acting a little hastily. Mazzarri is a coach with significant experience. Both his age and experience are enough for Napoli. I think the problem is not with Mazzarri, but with unrest within the team. Players cannot concentrate. They can't focus on the game like last year.
Actually the expectations on mazziarri is quite high probably because the exit of the formal coach was due to poor performance and they were expecting to see instant results especially for a team. Who won the league title last season so it was expected that upon his arrival most things will change such with almost instant results.

I've always been of the opinion that this man may need more time to get things straight with the team, even a magician would need time aswell to fix whatever has gone wrong but then it seemed more like even before the arrival of mazzirria they have already had too high an expectations from him and that's why they are not patient to seeing results from a Coach who has spent less than four months at the club but then so far he's doing well for a new Coach, he's won a few games and lost a few aswell but I believe sooner he will be able to get the team back on track but then he'll be needing some time.

The game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid just kicked off few minutes ago and they are just few minutes into the first half of the game, for now I can't really tell what exactly are the chances for either team until probably around the 20rh minutes of the game but then it's still looking very likely in favour or Real Madrid.

I expect at least either of the team to get a goal by the end of the first half especially the team that had got the home advantage, going by their line up, they are playing with their complete squad so atletico may have to do much work to at least secure a goal even if they don't end up sharing points but a goal to their name by the end of the match will be of greater honor, according to the H2H statistics, I'm their last two meetings, Atletico won one of the games and they drew the other game.

I don't think Villarreal will have problems in La Liga. Yes, they don't have many points, but their position in the standings is not critical and they will have to try very hard to get into the relegation zone. Another talking point could be that Villarreal had an easy group in the Europa League, that's why they were able to take the first place. But I am sure that they will have big difficulties further on.
I think every team has different motivations in La Liga or Europa League matches, and Villarreal is no different at the moment.
I see that Villarreal cannot maintain consistent performance in La Liga so that they are far behind in points and have to be in 13th position in the La Liga standings, but I don't think that can be a benchmark or benchmark for their performance in the Europa League.
Villarreal is a top La Liga team that has a high mentality, however, they should not be underestimated in the race for the Europa League title this season.
Villarreal's performance in the la Liga this season isn't such that will make you possibly term them a top team in the La Liga because if we are to list top five teams I doubt if they will be amongst them this season so I don't see any point in categorizing them as a top team in the la Liga At 13th position with just 19 points isn't impressive enough to be a top team.

Villarreal have a few good performance this season  both in the la Liga and the Europa but it still doesn't make them the favorite for the Europa and if you ask me I will say the don't seem to have a good chance at the Europa so it will be even better for them if they will be able to focus more on staying in the la Liga because they may not be too far from relegation, a few mistakes can take them back there if they are acting carefree with the la Liga, the Europa if not wom this season the can always get a chance for a trial next season but if they get relegated it then mean the lost out in both the Europa and the la Liga which is definitely not a smart move at all.

I agree with you, Juventus is known for winning the Serie A league trophy in the past years, and they will want to dominate the Serie A league once again. The way Juventus has performed this season, Juventus had shows that they want to win the Serie A trophy this season. There is a chance for Juventus to top Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table because Inter Milan will rest some of their players when the Uefa Champions League round of 16 starts, and that will make Inter Milan not perform well against their opponents.
Juventus dominance in the serie A ended few seasons back and they have every since been trying to regain that form but then it's been almost not possible until this season they beginning to show some good performance at some point, the defending champions happens to be in a poor form at this moment and so it's an opportunity for Juventus.

Inter Milan is another challenge that Juventus may really have to overcome if they must be able to reclaim back the league dominance and win the title once again this season, its over two seasons or more since Juventus last won the serie A and they can change the narrative this season if they get back a solo form and be able to get ahead of inter Milan before the end of the season. Juventus has got only the serie A this season so they have enough focus on it and they have greater potential with the title if the put in the needed effort.

Real Madrid knows what is best for itself in the future, so it will not immediately be fooled by recruiting Mbappe if there is no more reasonable clarity and just to spend more money without anything that Real Madrid itself can hope for. I also agree more with what you say because young players will be more suitable to be maintained and polished well for the future of Real Madrid rather than continuing to think about new players even though their age is not yet in the old category.
Real Madrid will definitely move on from the mbappe deal if it continues to remain unclear for more than too long because the team definitely needs a striker but it's not a reason they will continually sort after a player who seems confused and isn't at any point making things clear as it regards his preference and where he would love to be soonest.

Talking about young players ,mabappe still got some time on his side so he isn't an old player he's still young and have got a whole lot of potential ahead of which if he's at the right place of which Madrid isn't any bad, he will scale up the peak of his career sooner and one of his dream which is winning the UCl will be reality. Madrid could further focus on training and developing young players well enough that in the nearest future they form a very formidable team across Europe, they can even groom a striker who would stand in the position mbappe would have occupied if the deal had pulled through.
