Cristiano Ronaldo's presence at Al Nassr isn't just beneficial to the club only but to the entire Saudi Arabian league. His presence has significantly improved the quality of the league and have made more people all over the globe where not even interested in the Saudi Arabian league in the last to now love almost everything in the Saudi league.

He's a been great influence to Al Nassr in particular and to the Saudi Arabia league in general. At 38, Cristiano Ronaldo was still able to score 54 goals last year which was the highest by any player in world football and still isn't showing any sign of decline this new year. He's currently at the top of the chart for top goalscorer in the Saudi Pro League and hopefully he's gonna help his club win a
The effects of  presence of some players in any league can't be overly emphasized as evident in the case of Ronald which you have rightly stated. I think the Saudi Arabians understood this and used it as a business strategy to growing their league, because they knew that if their leagues must grow then they needed attention and one of such attention can come from the presence of star players.

Not only have the league and clubs gained so much attention but their fan base must have definitely increased and this must aswell have attracted so many investors in to the league who will come and invest in the league and making sure to bringing the league to the standard of other elite leagues, they also used the strategy of very attractive payments and buying players at very good sum to further attract the kind of players they wanted in their league a d thats why at a point PSG wouldn't mind  for a Saudi team to come and make a bid for mbappe because they know they will make good money from such deals.

Yes like you have explained, for the fact that someone is successful in gambling do not mean they are addicts. It is very important for us to know how we put our words so that we don't use it to hurt other people. Not all successful gamblers are addict but op may seems to be mistaken somehow. There are people that made money from gambling through a single jackpot that exploded there income making them one of the highest winning in history. Some might not even be a gambler. Some might be just a rare gamer that keep trying there lucks out to see if they could win something from gambling.
I even doubt if an addict can actually attain success gambling because the word addict comes with so much of negativity in its own so trying to merge success with an addiction is something I'm really finding difficult to figure out because an addict will definitely get burnt unlike a successful person would gambling.

Successful gamblers can sometimes be people who have actually disciplined their self to stay true to a strategy until they got to win big and for me they are the main successful gamblers because there was a process through which they went to attaining the height they have got gambling but the others who won from a one time jack pot and probably didn't Play again are lucky gamblers in my own terms, they were only lucky to get such big hit at their casual try same apply to those who like you stated aren't gamblers but had a trial that got them a big hit.

Okay, I certainly agree with you. Brazil would probably have a chance to keep up fighting against Argentina. But I think it would be happened if Ancelotti had joined Brazil Smiley. For your concern, Ancelotti was already working with some of the players of Brazil. But it is not well known now Brazil's situation is dire. Whatever still, you cannot totally counted them out, right? I think Chile also has a chance against Argentina.
If Ancelotti had Joined Brazil then their chances of qualifying wouldn't have been in much doubts because they definitely will be challenged by his tactical approach and the fact that he will want to keep his reputation he wouldn't want to for any reason bring to jeopardy that which he has achieve his career just by being in charge of a team.

These are all factors that would make both the coach (Ancelotti) and the the players to sit up to qualifying and making sure they fly the Brazilian flag high at the 2026 world cup. Brazila still have a chance considering their position on the table and how well they have gone tho they have been characterized with some form of inconsistency recently in their games but I'm yet to see it as a big problem yet, as it's still such they can take care of before the world cup.

I know that basically gambling is based on luck, but we can use tricks or strategies so that we don't spend a lot of money and can still win, even if it's only a small win.

In general, in my opinion, there are several categories of games in gambling such as house edge games, sportsbooks, slot machine games, live casino games, and lottery. In your opinion, which game do you think is the most logical to win? and what is the reason?
Aside luck skills and strategy is Also a very vital part of what you will need to be able win and stay profitable gambling because if you are totally dependent on luck then you may not be able to participate in certain games because some gambling games requires logical approach and skill to be able to play and win on them.

With the sports book you need some logical approach especially with statistics of past events to be able to make good and informed predictions because if you just make picks you may be lucky to win but then you may also be just luck dependent which often times turns out not in your favor.slots and live casino are another very logical games where by you even have to learn how to place a stake on these games at times because you will not be able to Play them with an illogical mind, basically all the games you did mention are equally logical playing them.

The competition is tough, Bayern Munich are just 1 point down if they won their 16th match which they probably would. The league is not through it's halfway yet. Leverkusen taking the lead for so long is a win itself and they proves Bayren Munich can be replaced even if not this time. Xabi Alonso has done an impressive job with what he have in his hands and created one of the most balanced team. He have established himself as a coach with this.
Xabi Alonso has proven he's ready to contend Bayern Munich and possibly end their dominance and possibly win the league title this season and not only is Leverkusen trying to displace Bayern Munich but other teams such as Stuttgart are also looking forward to topping the table and win the league too aswell.

Bayern Munich has got a really experienced coach and so Leverkusen should be weary of not loosing a point because if they do at this point Bayern Munich will stop at nothing to getting back at the top of the table and reclaiming back their dominance in the Bundesliga this season which I'm sure is one of their greatest wishes this season. If Bayern Munich wins their next match, they will be a point behind Leverkusen as they are currently four points behind and if Leverkusen is able to win their next match, they will be able to maintaining the margin between the.and Bayern Munich only that Munich is still goals ahead.

In the end PSG won the match by a huge margin of 9-0. Mbappe scored 3 goals and an assist in today's match. PSG players played well. The match was not very important for them. Still Luis Enrique formed his best squad today to give confidence to the squad players. Goncalo Ramos scored a goal from the penalty spot. Asensio scored two goals and an assist. Muani also scored two goals. PSG's players will be more confident in the upcoming matches after a big 9-0 win in this match. They have the potential to improve overall gameplay.
It was indeed an easy game for PSG and the win was very much deserving as they dominated every minute of the game and dis showed superiority and brilliance in their performance against their opponent because no less was expected of them as it regards winning this game and the margin was just jaw dropping even if less wasn't expected of them.

Kylian mbappe getting a hat trick yesterday was really impressive and worth been applauded because he got two of the goals in the first half and the last in the second half of the game, home advantage wasn't enough to save Revel from.been beaten by PSG, sadly Revel was unable to secure a single goal in amidst the nine goals that was scores against them in the game. But then no less was expected of PSG because Revel was actually a very weak team and it was definite they weren't going to have a chance against PSG, hopefully PSG may win the COUPE DE FRANCE this season amongst other trophies they aim to win this season.

Juventus faces Salernitana twice in a week, The two teams met in the Coppa Italia in the middle of last week, Juventus managed to dominate the match after successfully beating Salernitana with a landslide score of 6-1. After trailing at halftime due to Giulio Maggiore goal, Juventus regained control of the match after the referee gave Maggiore a red card at the start of the second half.

The dramatic comeback made by Juventus shows that their winning mentality is getting stronger, the never give up attitude of the Juventus players has led them to won. The recent won over Salernitana means that Juventus has now recorded no defeat in 15 consecutive matches in all competitions, a good achievement for Juventus who are chasing the Scudetto this season.
Winning Salernitana has been something Juventus does most times with almost little to no stress and off course no less was expected with them against Salernitana in that game, Juventus has always been a superior side against Salernitana and will most likely stay superior against them in a long time.

When Salernitana was leading by a goal I was literally surprised because I expected Juventus will be having the first goal of the match but then it turned out Salernitana did which almost created the impression they they were going to win the game as against Juventus but then after Juventus got an equalizer I got some hope they they were definitely going to probably get a win before the end of the game, later on Salernitana got a red card and this further strengthen my confidence in the fact that Juventus was going to win.

Barcelona players dominated the match. They  have been able to do a lot of attacks. But even  then Barcelona's performance was not  good enough. Barcelona won  the match. But Barcelona conceded two goals against a team as weak as Barbastro. From this, it is understood that Barcelona's defense is now very weak. Barcelona's performance in La Liga has been erratic. If the team still can't get back on track, and can't consistently perform well, Barcelona will be knocked out of the title race. Barcelona is 7 points behind Madrid and Girona.
Barcelona for me wasn't real impressive tho they did played brilliantly but for such a weak team, I expected so much from Barcelona, I expected Barcelona should posses a better defensive mechanism against this team such that they wouldn't have concede as much as two goal but a goal wouldn't have been considered too bad.

Barbastro isn't even to be considered UpTo an average team, Barcelona would have effortlessly won them by a very good margin but then Barcelona won while conceding much goals aswell, the first half was rightly dominated by Barcelona and they were able to secure a goal by the end of the first half. I was impressed by the brilliancy Barcelona exhibited in the first half of the game last night as they were able to keep the ball away from their post for a very good time through the first half and their dominance was such a good one.

Jose Mourinho is a good coach and has keep on with his leadership qualities even when coaching teams like Roma, he led the team to Eefa Conference League Victory last season, and now trying his best to see what he can do in the Europa League.
Injuries affected their performance that is why they are not yet in the top five teams of the Seria A table, but Dybala is back from injury and has already scored one goal in their ongoing match against Atalanta, I think they will soon bounce back to compete for the Europa League title together with Leverkusen, Liverpool, and others.
The coaching prowess of Mourinho across Europe isn't a news because it's in the records how much he has already achieved with various teams across Europe which he has so far, so at Roma if he's able to get the team to achieving much it will definitely not be much news because we weren't expecting less of him going by his records.

Injuries has always been a great challenge to every team across every league but the ability of such team to be able to bounce back on their feet after such makes them stand out and continually maintain a good position on the league table. But then I'm still yet to be convinced about the possibilities of them been able to win the Europa this season going by their performance so far in the Europa not minding that they were able to get pass group stage they still don't look formidable enough to compete with teams such as Liverpool, Leverkusen and AC Milan who looks like the top teams in the Europa this season.

Arsenal have lost one of their hopes of winning a trophy this season because they were eliminated by Liverpool in today match. Of course the fans are quite disappointed with the results of today match but it must be admitted that Liverpool is more consistent than Arsenal. Even in the Premier League, Arsenal also had to give up their main place for Liverpool and I think Liverpool has really frustrated Arsenal this season.

Well, if Arsenal lose again in the epl match, they will automatically give up even more on winning the trophy this season. I think Arteta has to change Arsenal playing tactics to be better in the next match. He has to raise Arsenal enthusiasm to end the recent series of bad results.
Arsenal may actually not have a chance at really winning a trophy this season because their decline in the premier league aswell has also become a thing of good concern as they have already lost a total or three game convectively and these includes both the premier league and the FA Cup which they lost yesterday.

Liverpool seem more like they are up for multiple trophies this season because so far both in the premier league, Europa and the FA Cup they have been tops and they are not looking like they are going to decline their performance any time soon rather they continually improve and really perform brilliantly in their games recently, Liverpool has got a very good level of consistency that has so far gotten them this much already, Arsenal aswell did exhibited some consistency aswell but some how recently has failed to maintain such consistency and that have caused them their current decline.

Indeed. If Real Madrid could sign a proper striker for their squad, Real Madrid will be a very strong team. They already targeted to sign Mbappe or Osimhen, but we still can't see the result of their negotiation with those players. However, I'm sure Real Madrid will get the right striker in the next transfer window (after the season end). I doubt if Real Madrid will sign a top striker in the current transfer window. Ancelotti seems to keep focusing on their current players. Ancelotti is very careful to select the new players.

Sure, Real Madrid still has the chance to win the title this season with the existing players. They have enough quality players, they only has no top striker in their attacking line.
There have been no news in recent times about mbappe or osimhen's negotiations with real Madrid so it's very likely neither of both will be joining the Spanish side by the recent transfer windows because if they were to join they would have most likely have some deal negation already on going but then there have not been any news of any yet


Almost all the elite teams in the champions league still at this point have almost equal chances of winning the champions league title this season but then by their performance so far and their recent strength and depth, Real Madrid have got an edge which keeps them as one of the favourite for winning the champions league this season and considering how well they are experienced in the champions league is another factor that can't be over looked, Manchester city also have got another chance too and I envisage a possible champions league finals this season between Manchester city and Real Madrid.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on favorites early in the week & underdogs late in the week strategy... on: January 07, 2024, 11:59:38 PM
I am by no means a professional gambler, and therefore I've certainly got plenty to learn (one of the reasons I like being active in this part of the forum).  I was recently listening to a gambling talk radio podcast and they were saying one basic rule of thumb to live by when sports betting is to bet favorites in the early part of the week and under-dogs in the later part of the week as the spread tends to favor this strategy.  

So I'm just curious if the sports betters in here take this "rule of thumb" strategy seriously and tend to follow it.  Or if there's any experience that says this may not be all that great of a strategy.  Thoughts?
It doesn't really matter the strategy you are using, everyday isn't a win day and they means that even with the best strategy you are not guaranteed of winning yet until you have won your game and it's been paid out they you can be sure for certain that your strategy worked and is a sure and good one.

Betting on the underdogs latter in the week usually comes with bigger odds meanwhile that of the bigger team reduces as the scheduled day new so if you want to take advantage of the odd then you are advised to make your stake over the week and then not waiting to the day scheduled for the game as by the they will definitely be slight change in the odds which are definitely dynamic. It's always good to explore odds before the scheduled day for the game if you want you possible win to be bigger.

Brazil is still trying to use the Brazilian coach; maybe that's why they haven't used another coach in this team so far. I think Brazil should accept the change if they really want to have good results in the 2026 World Cup because the current team we see from Brazil is not the team to get good results and even get good results in the Copa America.
I don't really know much about Brazilian Coaches and so I wouldn't want to stress much about them but I know for sure they are great players over the years they have been able to produce young and talented players who have been able to set good records on world stage and at almost every level in football.

At this point going by the most recent record I don't think the Brazilian team needs a Brazilian coach because the last one they had wasn't able to get them delivered the way it was expected of him and that was why they did soughted after acenloti because the importance of a coach to a team is very crucial as it has a lot to do with the kind of results the team will be producing in almost every tournament they participate in. Getting a very good coach even if it outside Brazil, is very important if the current Brazil squad will be able to go far in the 2026 world cup.

Gambling companies show you various attractive offers to promote themselves and it is natural that insurers will promote a company in exchange for money, but because you see their promotion and jump into gambling without thinking, it is your failure.  And that's why you can't blame anyone for your loss. You could blame someone if he forced you to gamble against your will and you could blame him if you went there and gambled and lost in front of him.  But if you go there on your own and lose, you have to take full responsibility for it
Blaming people for your loss isn't right because firstly gambling is for adults and not children so it's usually assumed that every Gambler is above the recommended age by the government and the policy of the gambling company company which implies that only adults are gambling by the lay down standard.

So every decision to gamble was made by an adult and should be able to take responsibility of their actions since they are made such decisions and not to find someone to blame for their losses because I'm very sure they weren't forced into gambling or placing stakes on any of the game's except they were under duress to placing any bet then they can have some one to blame but in a situation were by they literally gambled without any form of duress then such shouldn't be blamed on anyone I don't blame my losses on any one because gambling was my personal decision.

I prefer staking before matches start when I started to gamble as a newbie. I later prefer virtual matches. I left both to staking on live matches which is what I gamble with most on bookies now.

This is just for fun. Let us post and have fun to know which one that most people on this forum that are posting on this gambling board like most.
Do not gamble more than you can afford to lose.
It has been my norm to always stake b4 d match start because then I usually have a calm mind and enough time aswell to make my picks and make sure to be careful and very decisive with my picks because at that point I'm not in a hurry to in anyway stake or get my picks knowing I have the luxury of time.

If I wait for a live game before posting, chances are they I will make hurried picks and they may turn out not what I wanted because these picks weren't really rational enough, they were just random and solely dependent on luck with out much analysis, even tho I know much analysis does not guarantee winning but then it gives you an edge of the others who made random picks and have to stay luck dependent meanwhile you had conscious decision and so you are luck dependent on an average percentage.

Pep thinks that the players he signed to replace these players he let go can perform to their standard or above their standards, but they couldn't, and the team is becoming unbalance if one or two players get injured especially Rodri. I think things will become better since their main man KDB is back from injury and will soon start playing with the rest of his team mates.
I'm very sure pep is still very much in control of the team so much that every decision he takes is well calculated and in the best interest of the club but then it may look like letting go of some of the players will affect the teams performance and that's not the case as he has tried it before and it seem like it worked for him.

There are times this season he had played with out his big names and yet ws able to secure some good wins which means with out any of some of these players he can still perform moreover he has still got haland and KDB present with his strategy he will be able to get them to achieving what he would achieve with his team because he has still got the kind of players he still needs to achieve that he wants to achieve. Manchester city still looks very much promising across all the leagues in which they are participating so let's give them a few more time.

Too early a match when arsenal had to meet Liverpool. one of the competitions without a seeding system so the big teams already have to clash at the start.
in this match maybe Arsenal is a little favored compared to Liverpool. the Arsenal factor being the host play in home is an added value for Arsenal why it is slightly more favored.
while manchester city meets easy opponent Hudersfield already so playing at home etihad stadium manchester city will win easily with a landslide score.
Liverpool won Arsenal even at their home with their full squad meanwhile Liverpool had one of their big names absent in the person of MOH Salah. Although the first half ended goalless, I never expected that it was going to be easy for either sides because both teams happens to be an elite team known around Europe.

Manchester city for me seems Lucky because they had a very much easy team to play and they of course did win with a very good margin. In the second half of the game Arsenal seem to no longer be able to tame Liverpool and then Liverpool was able to secure two goals and won the game, the FA cup seem like one with out a particular form and pattern because I usually think the excitement of any league is usually with the fixture between big teams but then it turns out they even started off with the big fixtures already then I don't know what they would want us to anticipate after now.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: January 07, 2024, 10:08:45 PM
I never support that gambling is fun because money is played to win and lose. Those who get addicted to gambling never quit even those who win repeatedly make it their way of earning money. On the other hand when you win from gambling then it can be seen as a part of happiness but when you lose it is sad. especially for those who take a loan or debt to gamble. As all businesses have risk so gambling is one of them so it is best for you when you have other business to make money.
Well rationally it doesn't sound fun due to the involvement of money and the emotional attachment that could result from the involvement of money, but then this applies mostly to the class of people who are considered the average class because at that class the don't usually have so much to spare.

The rich class who have got more than enough to spare and are willing to give up any amount just to have fun can at that point gamble and see it strictly as fun but it doesn't mean they wouldn't accept the proceeds from it if they get lucky to win, examples could be seen amongst some prominent celebrities who gamble with very high stakes and when they are critically examine, it was observe that that had no effect on them if the lost such money because they literally have fun and at same time make money on lucky days.

Maybe it not or could be yes im not sure about it. If a person can understand the Strategy and the playing click of a beting sector then the person can play easyly. You are saying mentally unstable person maybe not. Becose the person don't understand the Strategy and can't remember what he have to do at the situation or not. It the person mentality unstable but he know that and know how to play then it is possible but an unstable person how remember the strategy of gambling is it possible ?
I want to agree with you in that if the "mentally unstable" person isn't at any point in cause of them playing the game harm anybody then they shouldn't be considered not worthy of gambling because at that point they aren't a threat to any one neither are they hurting anyone and there's no restrain from the government of the casino.

There are various forms of instability when it has to do with mental illness and such such should be treated with such reference because some may be temporary and the others are permanent, the temporary ones can actually still gamble regardless of their challenge at the moment so they shouldn't except in chronic and severe cases they the mentally challenged is now becoming a threat to the casinos and other people around them then immediate actions of restrictions should be placed on such a person.

       Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
    What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?
I will firstly agree with them because not agreeing with them in the first instance will make them not wanting to give you the much needed attention that will be needed of them so they could learn and possibly make adjustments where necessary, agreeing with their kind of mindset does not mean you are giving in or supporting they continue gambling.

It's very possible someone could get Rich gambling if they are lucky at a particular time over a particular period so when you consider this you will agree with their idea a little but then you can aswell help them understand it's not the only way to getting rich as they can amass much fortune doing other jobs aswell getting involved in other paying occupation asides gambling and they can gradually build wealth, getting involved in business too is another way out and if possible suggest some good startups to them.
