1601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 21, 2023, 07:17:41 PM
No matter what, Real Madrid and Barcelona remained the Champions of La Liga despite their poor and inconsistent form. La Liga title are for elite teams and watching some random club putting up a show is mere performances that are not backup with proofs. I never for once consider Girona as potential competitor for La Liga title this season, you want to know why? Losing against Real Madrid alone have disqualified them, they might settle for top four but winning the trophy is impossible for them. Girona can only make attempts but won't succeed.

Honestly, I don't really like saying things as frontally as you say. especially for Girona, although we agree on this point. I don't see the time for Girona, even to stay in the top four of the standings until this season ends, it will take a lot of effort and hard work. The only advantage they have from my point of view, Girona is not busy with a busy schedule. Plus, a good wind is blowing on their squad.
But nevertheless, what they have done so far is worthy of appreciation. because in reality it is not easy to sit at the top of the standings, even though they are only two points ahead of Real Madrid. In particular, currently several Madrid players have suffered injuries while playing matches with their national team.

It's no different from Barcelona, ​​one of their mainstay players also seems to have to be sidelined for an undetermined period of time. and this is what is unique about football, we will not know for sure which team will finish at the top at the end of the season. it could be Girona, after all in football anything can happen. Also, don't forget that there are other teams like ATM who will take advantage of the momentum of the situation that is happening to their rival team. although I still believe and believe that it is likely that Real Madrid and Barcelona will win the La Liga trophy this season. Let's just enjoy it, maybe it will add to the excitement of the competition.

I doubt if Lyon will ever end up been relegated by the end of the season, they have been in the worse of their form this season and falling to the bottom of the table must have really affected their morales and their confidence would some how be raised down now. But I think if only they could win again they will get back on track.

If they could get two or Three wins in a row it will really help their confidence and morale and before the season end they will be back on track and at least move out of relegation. They are very likely not to end up in the current temporary relegation spot on the table where they are now. I personally can't really tell what exactly led  to this their performance this season but I believe they would bounce back considering their squad and the records they have had in recent past.

I still have confidence that Lyon will slowly return to the right track. however, for now they will need a phase of squad development and improvement. We'll see how far Grosso can take his squad. So far, he has only led Lyon for 6 matches. and just give him a chance first, at least he will get to the heart of the problems facing his squad and start to fix them. After all, the Lyon squad is not a team that has just been involved in Lique 1. However, it seems that in the last few seasons, Lyon has really slumped this season.

As I said, we don't know for sure why Lyon is so badly off this season. Besides, I don't have much of the latest information regarding this team. but what is certain is that several quite good players left in the last summer window. and these things could have an impact on their current squad, especially if the new players as their brides have not been able to show their best performance. But don't worry, this competition still has lots of matches to improve their ranking. At least, his focus is currently in the safe zone. Now Grosso just needs to improve his squad in all aspects, but they are starting to improve with two games without defeat. although, in fact, the players they have shown are not ideal. We'll see, every development.

"if you want to make money with gambling, own the casino" is a proverb I can never get over with, when I first came across this proverbs, I think I paused and read it over and over again for over 10 times or more, and I think this indeed overly changed my initial perspective or perception concerning gambling.

It is particularly true that we are mostly in gambling to make money, and not entirely to have fun, but just as you have correctly said it, it is still very important for us to trick our minds to believe that we are doing it to have fun, this is actually very important for our well-being, it is the same as believing that a money is lost before it's actually lost, one doesn't feel too bad since he or she only lost money that was already lost, this are things we trick our minds to believe, so that we can ultimately enjoy gambling, and even if at the end of the day, we do not win anything, we don't regret it that much.

Actually, we or I can accept this idea, the only problem is that we will involve emotions in the game session and don't forget about that. Emotions will form when we have a gambling session, when we try to trick our own minds, but not with emotions. Let's just say we are in a bad week, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on the defeats we get, a feeling will arise that forms the emotion of anger. and, it can appear suddenly, especially when we are in the disappointment phase. losing, again and again.

I apologize in advance, that the facts are not as easy as we say. maybe we can overcome it once in a while, but if it happens repeatedly, it will still become a problem for our gambling. today we will, tomorrow too, the day after tomorrow and so on maybe. We never know when the right time will be to win, and defeat is certain. but it's not wrong if you try it, and maybe it will be effective for someone, even most gamblers. but not for me, I like to play as naturally as possible. without the need to deceive our minds, we know exactly what is actually happening. But, for once, there is no problem with this idea. In fact, it's okay to try and test. It's just that for me personally, it's no different from self-control. After all, basically, we will practice during betting sessions. Whether it is effective or not depends on each person or situation.
1604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? on: November 21, 2023, 03:55:40 PM
In my case, it happened indirectly. in our society, there are habits that seem to have become culture at that time. If there is a wedding event, local people will come together to help run the wedding the next day. While waiting for morning, the adults who stayed up late will do a kind of mini casino. however, in group play. If anyone is in my country, they will definitely understand things like this. In short, there will be many groups divided into gambling, there are those who play rummy, dominoes, capsah, which are basically dominated by card games. There are those who bet using real money, there are also those who just have fun without risking anything.
The point is, without being taught or on purpose, I understood for myself what they were doing. and in the end, I got to know gambling.

Well, it's different from soccer betting and all that. of course, someone will teach or give tips. over time, gambling became familiar to me. If we talk about losing and winning, both traditional gambling, land-based casinos and online casinos, I think it's a common problem. if only, if I pulled back or repeated the past. and I wasn't interested at first, maybe I wouldn't have known about gambling until now and that doesn't rule out the possibility. but in fact, we are already involved so far.  So what else should we look for besides fun. if I want money, then work. If I want to have fun by spending just a few dollars, that's fine. most importantly, consistency and responsibility.
1605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you in profit? on: November 20, 2023, 10:19:49 PM
At least for me now, it's no use calculating profits and losses. Let me tell you a little about my experience, if I calculate how much I lost due to gambling, especially in the past. I don't know how much money I spent at the gambling table, it's definitely not a small amount. Well, now the question actually contradicts the title of this thread. Do I have to calculate past losses even if they happened a decade ago? and now, I am involved in crypto casino gambling. Long story short, before I didn't have a greater understanding of gambling, what responsibility was and what self-control was. The point is, I act as I please to carry out gambling sessions. as a result, do I make a profit? It's clear, the answer is not at all.

Now, I am involved in the world of crypto casinos. however, after going through various processes, experiences and so on. I have a slightly more extensive understanding of gambling itself, which brings responsibility along with self-control. Apart from that, the importance of knowledge for me. especially sports gambling. I have to know the various aspects related to it, as well as other variables. why, the answer is simple, which gambler wants to always lose in his gambling, 99% will answer no. Therefore, what should we do so as not to experience defeat? knowledge and science are needed, so that we can think as we should. then the question is, do you make a profit? refer to this thread. The answer is very varied, depending on how we think. If we sum it up as a whole, almost most will answer no. then, why still gamble?, if it's really detrimental.

For me it's simple, yesterday is the past, today is what we live, tomorrow is a mystery. Likewise with gambling, we cannot predict when we will get a profit, let alone a jackpot. Today I lost, tomorrow maybe not. This hour I win, the next minute nothing is certain. The point is, it depends on how we treat gambling itself. if you lose, you should stop. because it's no longer fun. On the other hand, if we win, there is still tomorrow, we can have fun with it. So, I don't need to calculate profit and loss for now, let alone question whether I made a profit. the answer, not certain and not important for most people, is as simple as that.

Anyway, everyone has their own way of thinking and opinions. what I say, not necessarily people will agree.

This is something I've tried to highlight to my friends that want to get  into gambling, but overall not many people seem to be aware.
What has your experience been? Has this affected you or your friends?

We've discussed several times what you said, yep, like the contents of your thread. I'm quite sure, most of our society is very aware of what streamers do wherever the platform on which they create their gambling content is done. I don't see if there is any problem going on, or any conspiracy for that matter. I think it's fine what they do. After all, as long as they are paid, and they are happy to do it, especially if they don't break the law, that is their right.

Now the problem is with us who watch it. especially for those who like watching gambling streamers. if you think the way you think in your thread, theoretically other people almost think the same way. especially, for those of us who are very familiar with gambling. maybe yes, for beginners or amateur gamblers. they will be amazed, by what they have just witnessed.
Just imagine, quite a few streamers bet with fantastic value, regardless of whether it is true or not. the point is, now on ourselves.

For me, all of that doesn't matter and just consider it entertaining entertainment. especially, when they carry out hysterical acts. Funny enough isn't it, can't we just see it from the other side instead of focusing on what they won. Yep, it's that simple for me.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: November 20, 2023, 08:21:45 PM
Is there really a country where gambling is banned? I will like to know that because the your tone shows you might know some countries where gambling is against the law.

In my country, gambling is a big business that receive no government restrictions.  The gambling companies are registered and operate under the laws stipulated an agency of the government. Sports betting shop are littered all over the streets and are always full every weekend.

The only people not allowed to visit these shops are those below 18 years of age

Ah, sorry about earlier. It seems, you lack references if there are several countries that prohibit gambling. If I'm not mistaken, we've discussed it in several threads on gambling discussion boards. I don't need to look far for a reference to say which countries prohibit gambling, because in my country gambling is now prohibited. era changed era, in the past gambling was still allowed, especially lotteries which were managed by the state. and currently, gambling is prohibited by the laws and regulations of our country.

If we talk about Asia, as far as I know there are some who still prohibit it. although recently, many ASEAN countries have legalized it. Well, for the Middle East it's different again. We don't need to look for references to strengthen our arguments, but it is clear that legally and the rules that apply there clearly prohibit it. especially, for very religious middle eastern countries. This prohibition did not just happen, of course it has gone through a long process, especially for my country.

For some Middle Eastern countries, it seems like some have never actually legalized gambling. It's only natural, because they have their own rules. So, now you probably know that there are countries where gambling is not legal. and this is the opposite of what is in your country. not only children under the age of +18, but applies to all people in the country. even though in this era, everyone can access casinos via smartphone and the internet. The point is, the state cannot completely control it even if they block access.  After all, there are various ways, even some online fiat casinos provide tips for opening locked services and that is the fact.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 20, 2023, 03:33:37 PM
There is an opinion that the greatest dependence on gambling is formed at the moment of a big win. The player understands that money can be earned LIKE THIS. This is a fairly common opinion.

But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.

What do you think about it?

I think the answer is very relative, depending on each individual or the gamblers themselves. however, there is nothing wrong with what you said. It could be said, in general, many gamblers get trapped when they get high wins. The desire to do it again and again will affect our minds and psychology which is formed from dopamine. repeating victory after victory is something that makes us happy, especially as our experience increases, our level of getting higher wins will form by itself. Well, things like that are usually common problems and are our shared experience. So, gambling is complex and not just as you say. there are many reasons, assumptions, in every gambler.

But let's talk from your side, yes I agree that addiction to gambling can be triggered when we experience loss after loss. In most cases, our emotions are unconsciously involved to a greater extent, especially with the emotion of anger. things like this often make us lose control of ourselves. When the time comes when our money runs out, then we realize that we have been carried away by a condition of anger that causes us to lose self-control. and believe it or not, this experience will almost be experienced by most gamblers. for beginners, they will feel disappointment, depression and so on. For those who are familiar with gambling and understand it properly, this is part of the risk.

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.
~~

There is no need to deceive your own mind, in fact you are playing for fun. The question is, how does it work, is it effective, after all we will always involve emotions in every game session, whether it's when we win or vice versa. Let me take an example, there was a couple who was having a wedding, they went on holiday abroad and then accidentally visited a land-based casino. they play it for pure fun, then end up losing. After that, they will go looking for other entertainment as part of the tour they are doing. well, clearly they weren't tricking their minds to have fun.

Inversely proportional to what we do and so are you. we are fully aware that we are betting for and hoping to get something, apart from pleasant things. After all, each person's definition of fun is different. for example me, I like to bet because it's fun. it would be natural, if I expected a reward for what I bet. but if the opposite happens and in other words I lose, that means it's no longer fun. In this phase, we will involve understanding, experience and self-control. if I wasn't tempted, then I would stop. Apart from that, whatever game you play, you can have fun with it. Remember, fun starts with taste. But if it's no longer fun, it's best to stop. for me it's that simple.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.


Basically it all comes back to the way a person thinks, in this case our discussion is on gambling. I mean, every person/gambler has their own mindset and that includes you. everyone thinks according to their limits and abilities, some are like what you said in this thread. Likewise with your way of thinking. The point is, we cannot impose our mindset on someone, unless that someone tries to have a discussion and exchange opinions. Even then, it is not certain that someone will fully accept the opinion or idea that you say. So, it's better to just let them have their own way and you have your own way. Unless someone is a relative or close friend, then you can provide a little understanding. with conditions, without imposing your guidelines in gambling.

Well, I completely agree and agree with the points you said. Gambling is a form of entertainment in today's era, and we need media to carry out gaming sessions by preparing money as a tool. thus, we can play the game we want. For the last point, you should be able to answer it yourself. or, assume with the guidelines that you understand regarding gambling. winning and losing is part of gambling, rich or poor in gambling is also the same. if we are not lucky, it means we cannot be rich.
Anyway, the people who get rich from gambling are only a small portion of the gamblers who end up poor.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: November 20, 2023, 02:20:01 PM
Saudi Arabian clubs have spent a lot of money to bring in several star  players from Europe. And they benefited greatly from it. First of all, the world knows about the Saudi Pro League. Saudi  Arabia has been  promoted. And secondly, the overall performance  of the clubs in Saudi Arabia has also improved tremendously. Saudi Pro  League has now become much more  competitive and exciting. And if this continues, if Saudi  clubs continue to  add more talented players  from Europe to the Saudi League, then I'd say the Saudi Pro League will become more exciting than Ligue 1 in the next few years.

I have said on many occasions that what the Saudi Pro League is doing is part of a project run by the Saudi Kingdom which is based on the PIF company. The funds disbursed to bring in top European players are money that has been allocated from the Kingdom and also PIF as the company that has acquired Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al-Ahli. These four clubs are only owned by one person, namely Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Even so, PIF only acquired 75% of the shares. Maybe the scenario is that these clubs can appear competitive without the intervention of the government or the PIF company. because, those who run the club are the 25% share holders.

Oh yes, Newcastle was one of those acquired by PIF.
Overall, I agree with what you said. However, to reach the level of competing with European teams, for example Lique 1, there will still need to be a process. After all, only 4 teams are really strong in this competition. the rest is an ordinary team even though those who manage it are also part of the Royal family. The point is, what they planned in their project went according to plan. the rest, we'll just see how it develops.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 20, 2023, 01:49:23 PM
Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are two teams that should be taken into account in the hunt for the Europa League championship trophy this season. Both clubs have complete squads and attributes to lead the list of favorite teams to win, and have coaches who have clear tactics. If the two teams met earlier, then the match would be one of the most anticipated matches by many people, like an ideal final.
 
Apart from Liverpool and Leverkusen, other teams that will join the Europa League from the Champions League also have the opportunity to become title contenders. Sevilla, Man united and Milan are the teams that I hope will join here, and they will be a threat to the teams that are already in the Europa League at the moment. although actually I understand that the three clubs are experiencing difficulties in their respective groups each.

Theoretically this is true, but technically not necessarily. It would be very natural if in fact these two teams were predicted to be the favorite teams in the European League group phase. after all, as we all know. both in terms of coach, ranking, performance, both meet the requirements to become a candidate. but, as I said in the post above. Last season, this competition was more interesting with several strong teams taking part in this competition. but in the end, Sevilla was the champion.

Well, this season also applies. We cannot be sure before the quarter-final, semi-final and final matches. Moreover, if the Champions League group phase is over and several teams slip up, they will take part in this competition even though they have to go through the playoffs to enter the round of 16. What is certain is that this league still offers long matches. Also, it might provide other surprises that we don't know for sure yet.
However, speaking of Leverkusen and Liverpool, these two teams can be said to be the favorite teams throughout this group stage match. and, if it's like what you say. If the two teams met sooner, it should be a match worth watching and it should be an exclusive match like a final match and we agree on that.

Getting out of the relegation zone is probably achievable for Lyon because they are not actually a bad team and it shouldn't be that difficult for them. This season there are several things that are making it difficult for Lyon to play better in collecting points and the coach must immediately carry out an evaluation in the next match. Buying several players in the next transfer market might be a solution because they are quite weak in terms of defense and so far defenders are still a big problem for them.

Lyon has not been a weak team in the past few seasons and usually they can finish the season in a mid-table position. This season has only been running for a few matches and although there are differences compared to the previous season. I believe Lyon will be able to escape relegation in the second half of the season and that is a much more realistic expectation compared to finishing in the top five or seven in the standings like the previous season.

I haven't followed the development of this team for quite a long time. yep, Lyon is now ranked first in the red zone with 7 points from its 11 matches. As for the coach, Fabio Grosso, he has only brought his new squad to win one of six matches with Lyon. two draws, three matches with defeats. which means, the coach's work is still said to be far from good or bringing Lyon to development. If the coach is unable to bring about change, and even has difficulty getting out of the relegation zone, I am quite sure Lyon management will replace him with another coach.
but it wouldn't be fair if we didn't give him more opportunities to prove his capacity. In the last two matches, Grosso did not experience defeat. one draw and a narrow win against Rennes. Even so, Rennes was unlucky because one of their players was given a red card. So, this should be a motivation for the coach and the players to perform even better.

To be honest, I don't have much new information regarding this team. However, it seems that the impact of the decline occurred because several Lyon players left in the last summer transfer window. We'll see, can Lyon bounce back. At least their priority is to increase their ranking to be in a safer zone. After that, Lyon can bring in the players they need next January. The next match will be a tough match when Lyon hosts Lille.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 20, 2023, 12:39:28 PM
Hojlund is a well-intentioned player, but I don't think he is enough as a centre forward to take Manchester United to the next level. His stats in the Champions League may be good, but I think he is very inadequate in terms of his game, which we see in the Premier League. He was not good in the last game either. There are some moments when the team is not doing well, but the striker scores a goal and wins the match or becomes the fuse that ignites the team, although this boy has that energy, he is insufficient because of his technique. Maybe in the future he will improve his game and become better, but for now he is not a key player for ManU in my opinion. By the way, I have to say that Rashford's horrible form is getting annoying.

That's why, Ten Hag prefers him over other players. even though, at that time Juve wanted to release their center forward, Vlahovic. Apart from that, there are several players that Ten Hag is targeting according to the budget they have. In the interview session between Ten Hag and Hojlund, Ten Hag had a personal assessment of this player. Of course he can't be relied on at the moment, after all he's not a pure, ready-to-use sticker like Kane.
Ideally, Ten Hag wants good progress from the players he brought in from Atalanta. Unfortunately, he has not been able to maximize his performance in the Premier League in his nine matches. However, he performed well in the Champions League by scoring five goals in four matches. I mean, there is something wrong with the United squad as a whole. This is not just a problem for Hojlund alone, but for the entire team. that's why he had difficulty scoring his first goal in the Premier League. So, that's why we are waiting after all United players have recovered from their injuries, especially the core players.

For now, we give him the opportunity to learn a lot and achieve a strong bond between the players. because from my point of view, United players don't have a strong bond, especially new players who tend to be ignored. on the other hand, some players are not disciplined and want to appear and show their respective prowess. Ten Hag must fix this problem in the future. also, for Marcus Rashford. We'll see, United still have a lot of games to play. especially, if in the end they resign from the Champions League and don't have tickets to the European League. automatically, their focus is only on this competition.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 20, 2023, 12:01:56 PM
Manchester United is not a very unsuccessful team. On the contrary, they are a team with a strong squad but things are not going the way they want. If there are the right tactics and the right guidance, the players are good enough to easily get out of the group and pass the round. They will have a tough match against Galatasaray and they will need to win this match. Otherwise, their chances of getting out of the group will be left to miracles.
Winning against Galasataray is not only to maintain the chance of qualifying for the round of 16 but also to maintain the chance that if they fail they will still play in other European competitions because they can occupy third place in Group A standings, and compete in the European League playoffs
Interestingly, even though Manchester United is more favored as a champion challenger than Galasataray, in this match Galasataray is more favored than Manchester United even though the odds are not much different.
It seems that apart from the host factor, the betting market sees how Galasataray is able to win at Old Trafford, which is one of the factors that also favor the team from this Turkish league.
Manchester United faces a big challenge in this match because Galasataray, which also has the opportunity to qualify from the group phase, will maximize this match as a match that gives full points.

It would be very natural for me, if this time Galatasaray was slightly superior to Manchester United. After all, the match was played at Rams Park, Galatasaray's headquarters. Apart from that, there are many factors that make United considered to have only a slim chance of winning the match against Galatasaray. Actually, I haven't collected all the information, especially for United. whether the injuries to Hojlund, Eriksen, the status of Rashford, Antony and others. So in this post, I will only opine based on what I know.

The point is, United's conditions and situation are indeed unpleasant and have affected their performance so far. That's why there is little hope that United will progress from the group phase. It's no different if United targets finishing in 3rd place. with the scenario, they have tickets to the playoffs in the European League. The situation is not very conducive for Erik Ten Hag's squad. However, make no mistake if unexpected things can happen. United could perform optimally, even though the players they play are second tier, especially on the front line. and this could be a problem for Galatasaray. because, they have to consider if there are any surprises in the match on matchday five.
Moreover, in terms of betting odds, there is no significant difference, the point is that both teams will play as hard as possible to achieve the full points they hope to get. In the match, we will be presented with something interesting and I hope that these two teams will put on a very exciting match. Regarding the final result, we will find out later.

 Well though Modric has an undying love for the club and would still love to continue playing for Realmadrid but he should understand that he's not as young as he used to be and most coaches in the European league would mostly prefer giving chances for youngsters to thrive, making him to be at the bench in most matches, 38 years is an age that's due to retirement and I doubt if he modric would be able to play full 90mins and compete with younger midfielders in other teams in terms or physical strength and agility.

 The best thing is for him to seize the opportunity of moving to the Saudi league where we'll be earning a more better salary and given enough match time compared to if he remains at Realmadrid and also the money he receives would really serve as a retirement fund when he finally leaves football.

I also read the news about this senior Madrid player, and what he said for his club Real Madrid and as I previously predicted. Therefore, of all the existing Madrid players, I have full respect and appreciation for this player from Croatia. although in truth, I am not a Real Madrid supporter.
We don't need to talk about his ethos, he has proven it both for his club and his national team. Modric, is another person with the most totality and loyalty to the club where he plays. I think Modric really understands the club's current situation, after all he is 38 years old.

Nevertheless, as he said in several newspapers and to which I refer. "Real Madrid is everything to him" it's part of my life, my family, it's my way of life. That's why I like this player apart from his skill in handling the ball, his stability and his experience. although now the situation has changed, and young players have changed, even more actively taking over their current position and duties. and I'm sure Modric is very aware of this. but because of his loyalty, he remains loyal to Real Madrid.
There are several rumors circulating that Modric has agreed to leave Real Madrid for the Saudi Pro League. However, this rumor was denied by Real Madrid general director Jose Angel. In short, we have no intention of selling it. which means, Modric will be with Madrid. and ending his status as a free agent player after his contract expires. So far there is no certainty regarding Modric joining the Saudi pro league, everything is still just rumors. and I suspect, Modric will end his career with Real Madrid and become a legend. After all, Modric can still stay with Madrid even though he is no longer playing on the pitch. may happen, even if the task and status change.

The storm of injuries has not stopped hitting the Barcelona players this season, this is really a very difficult season for this team to go through, especially since they don't have many players to cover the gaps in the team.
First of all, of course this will be a big blow for a potential young player like Gavi, in fact he is reported to have had to end this season early because of the injury he suffered. This is quite bad for his future because there is a possibility that his performance will decline after he recovers.
And this is a loss for the Barcelona team, especially Xavi, who has to work harder to think about the team's game so that they can still perform well with the minimum number of players, this is really a pretty bad and tough season for them.

Often times, international events are always something scary for a club and its coach. this week, we have heard that many players have been injured in their respective national teams. In this case, this is the part that any club coach doesn't like. especially, if the player is one of the core members of the club he plays for.
Yep, like Gavi, which is not only regretted by the Spanish national team which was architected by La Furia Roja Luis de la Fuente. however, for the Barcelona squad itself, it will especially damage the scenario that has been designed by Xavi Hernandez.

As Romano reported, Barcelona were furious because they didn't understand why Gavi had to play that game. Initial tests have been completed, and show a "severe knee injury." Further tests will be carried out in the next 24 hours to clarify his condition. So, there are no official results yet that can be claimed as true. I just hope that Gavi only needs a few weeks of recovery.

Referring to Barcelona, ​​it is clear that it will be a loss for them due to the incident that occurred with Gavi. He is one of the players who is Xavi's mainstay in his squad. But on the other hand, it has been reported that De Jong's condition will return on December 14. Likewise with Pedri, who was previously reported to be training with the main squad. at the very least, some were injured and some recovered instead. ideally, Xavi should reformulate his strategy.

Anyone who has been following the performance of the Bayern Munich team since the start of the season can attest to the fact the team is currently on fire and can't be stopped by a club like Koln. Bayern has been tearing teams apart and against Koln, I don't expect any result apart from a win for the reigning German Bundesliga champions. Koln for sure isn't gonna play the game without hope of getting something out of the game but I think the don't have all it takes to get a good result against Bayern Munich.

In terms of scoring goals, yep Bayern have proven it since Kane arrived with Thomas Tuchel's squad. in 11 matches, Bayern has scored 42 goals in the Bundesliga. in addition, 11 goals in the Champions League. It seems clear, right, Bayern is really productive in terms of scoring goals. 17 of the 42 goals were scored by Harry Kane, and he was extraordinary with his Bayern. It would be very natural if we said that Bayern was in a position on fire. However, from another perspective, there are still weaknesses in Thomas Tuchel's squad based on my personal point of view.

In the Bundesliga, okay, they performed optimally. but in the Champions League, their defense was a little slack, especially the goalkeeper. fortunately, now Neuer has returned, although it has not been proven that he has returned to his previous performance. but at least, he is better than Sven Ulreich. The point is, Tuchel still has homework to cover the weaknesses of his squad.

In the next five days, Bayern will visit Cologne headquarters. W0e can guess, on paper Bayern will win this match smoothly. Naturally, these two teams have a very significant gap. both in terms of player depth, ranking and performance. Bayern is in 2nd place in the Bundesliga standings.Meanwhile, Koln is in second place in the relegation zone. We can also compare based on odds, the difference is clear. But, we'll see how these two teams fight in the upcoming match. because what is certain is that Koln will not just give up and be defeated by Bayern Munich.

I have noticed some individuals claiming to be successful in gambling.
but, my personal experience with online gambling platform over the past 8 months has been consistently unprofitable
I haven't broken even or made any gains. I'm curious if anyone in our community has actually achieved profitability through gambling. If yes, we can calculate that how much percentage of us are profitable.
I know most of the people pay to win and deposit to recover previous losses.


Are you in profit?

In this context what we are discussing is gambling. First, it is important to clarify what gambling you mean. I mean specifically, because there are many types of gambling bets. The point is that we can't possibly play all gambling games, in fact there will always be types of gambling games that we don't like or don't even understand. second, what type of gambling do you mean. because it is unlikely that someone will understand, even master all types of gambling, especially those related to several factors involving insight, knowledge, science, and the like which many people call expertise or skills.

Now we discuss profits, as is the theme of the title of this thread. Of course yes, and that applies to all gamblers. However, the problem depends on each gambler himself. Let me take an example, if you count from the first time you gambled until now. and you have experienced many defeats, losses and so on. Then, suddenly you are lucky to get half of the money you have lost because you lost. Would you still say it's still a loss, or...
and this is where most gamblers have different understandings. If so, it means you are chasing profits in the gambling you do. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just important for you to be aware of the consequences and risks of the consequences it causes. what is certain, you can win and become rich. or vice versa, you lose everything. There are many examples, in fact we often discuss them either from the side that lost a lot of money or from the side that gained wealth from gambling.

Now it's my turn, to be honest I never calculate the percentage of either wins or losses. the point is, I know that gambling contains risks. especially when it comes to pure games of luck. luckily I tend to like sports even though I don't always bet on them, there are times when I need other entertainment, namely slot games. But in sports, I can manage the bets I make.
Don't be greedy, to get 3 winning matches in a single bet, that's quite profitable. after all, we benefit from the many matches presented every week, take your time if you want to get the results you want and choose 1/2 of the many matches presented. provided that it has gone through a research and analysis process.

Well, now, the point is up to you, what you will do with your gambling.

A gambler's worst moment in gambling is when he wins several gambles, accumulates some money, loses the next gamble and loses all the money. Every gambler should be wary of this. There is no point in us having to continue gambling, sometimes we should take a break. Decision making is easier if we take a break between gambling. Earning money is very difficult, there is no distinction between rich and poor in terms of earning money because both have earned money in different ways and both have worked hard in both ways to earn money. Now if we say that the poor should gamble more cautiously than the rich then it would be wrong, we should say that both gamblers should gamble cautiously. If there is doubt about a gamble then there is simply no need to play that gamble. We will play the gambling that will give us the most guarantee of winning and refrain from the rest.

Well, isn't that part of what is normal for gamblers? In fact, the points you make are very likely for gamblers to experience the experiences you say. When we gamble, we collect blow after blow and it is enough to produce a decent reward. In fact, if we are lucky we can get a multiplication that is many times over. then, because we are too busy playing or don't have the boundaries to stop the gambling session. In the end, the winnings we have collected are lost in the next bet.

Well, to me that's very natural, the point is we have a choice. stop, or continue. the bad risk is that all the money we collect will be lost. or, get a multiplication many times over when luck is on our side. This is gambling, which always contains risks. in the discussion of your post, several people said this was a greed factor. Others say, this is gambling and if you don't want the risk, it's better not to bet. After all, if we win with a big reward, we ourselves will be happy and enjoy it. but I also have to agree with what you said. The only difference is, I prefer to say that there are times when we stop the game session either when we are losing or when we are winning. Just gamble naturally, with the free time we have. the rest, we can continue whenever we want. Most importantly, it doesn't interfere with our routine, let alone work.
