Juventus' success in narrowing the points gap with Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings is quite extraordinary because this season Juventus does not need to think about other competitions apart from just competing in Serie A. So the strategy that Juventus has used to continue winning at home is certainly still good enough for him this season, even though next season it might not be good enough. Especially when Juventus returns to playing in a big competition like the UCL next season, it is clear that Juventus must have another strategy to win the match.
Juventus is really showing their zeal in trying to getting the league title this season as they are not faced with another competition other than this which they are currently facing at the moment so I'm not surprised at their performance because I'm even in anticipation of more from them.

Narrowing the point gap till they finally displace inter Milan is one thing that they must do because they it's the only way with which they can hope to win the trophy by the end of the season, if they further succeed in get more points above inter Milan with the advantage of imter Milan having to focus on the UCL which may pose some distraction to them this season in the serie A but Roma too is another team Juventus and inter have to be weary of as they are willing to cease any opportunity to getting to the top aswell.

This means that Ligue 1 must be more competitive in the future, the level of competition must be tighter, and not just one or two clubs can suppress PSG dominance. So that in the end PSG develops to be better and has bargaining value when playing in the UCL. I think the essence of this scenario will focus on finances, where the budget strength of PSG rival clubs must be comparable, or let's say close to PSG current finances.

I really agree with that competitive background, a very reasonable reason. If we look at other facts, PSG is ranked 4th as the club with the most expensive squad at the moment, but they are difficulty to even get through the group phase. But I'm still optimistic that they can win the UCL one day, Who knows, their luck will come in the next few seasons.
The competitiveness of Ligue 1 isn't dependent on just a team been able to win PSG and probably get to the top of the standings, Nice actually got to the top of the standing at some point this season but the competition will come in if other teams are able to put up a struggle to the top while PSG will literally have to struggle along side as seen in the bundesliga.

It becomes interesting when there are more than two team struggling to getting to the top and even the giant of the league literally have to struggle, if other teams in the premier league can literally come up strategically to put an end to the era of dominance by PSG then you will see the birth of competition amongst teams in the Ligue because at that point every team will want to believe it's possible to get to the top so all their focus will be on getting their not minding who has always been there just like Girona is doing in the la Liga as against Madrid and Barcelona.

I believe from now on it all depends on his success over the next few years. At some point I thought that Ancelotti wants to slowly pull out of the business because it is too stressful for him to have to be available 24/7 year round as a Real Madrid coach, but he seems to be in a great condition physically and mentally and he still seems to be enjoying the game. He is on fire sometimes despite his age and despite being this calm guy he usually is. But you can see that he wants more trophies especially in the Champions League. He could now have his final little era and let's see what his decision will be in 2026.
He still seems strong enough to handle the business and that's why he agreed to signing the renewal of his contract till 2025 if he has got challenge with it I'm sure he wouldn't have opted for the contract and even the management of Real Madrid wouldn't have agreed to the extension of his contract aswell.

I was thinking he would have gone to the Brazilian team coach them over a period of time and probably end his career there with a retirement but then he has still got the will to be at Real Madrid and that's why he will still agree to staying in Madrid as against going to Brazil. He has still got love for the Madrid team and I'm optimistic he will help the team further scale even greater heights in this season and subsequent seasons to come, so I'm not expecting any less from him and his boys this time having accepted to stay back at Madrid rather than move to Brazil.

In football anything can happen, a team that is labeled as champion can lose to a team that is considered weaker and this fact has happened in several prestigious competitions. The team has to work hard to try to get something in the match, continued winning can take them to the best position in the competition which makes it possible to win a trophy.
Currently Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the two most favored teams in the Europa League, this competition still leaves many other teams ready to compete with them for the trophy. As the favorite teams in this competition, these two teams must be able to maintain consistency to achieve the final goal in the competition.
This has been one of the reasons I'm usually not quick to assuming that a team would do any better because they have got a name and they have been known to be a big team, it's still very possible they will still loose to small team and that's the dynamics of football it's not always tailored within a particular patterning so expect anything at anytime.

s the favourite of this league, Leverkusen and Liverpool will have to maintain some good consistency to get to the finals and we hope that the better team wins at the end of the day but then we have AC Milan who is appearing to be a good and strong contender aswell which we can't at any point underestimate because they will want to be amongst the top teams in the Europa since they were unable to achieve it with the champions league and back in their domestic league they aren't doing any poor, so the work on Liverpool and Leverkusen is now even more then it was at the beginning of the season.

I don't think Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich will be making big transfers in January which could really have a big impact on their title chances.

I have mentioned these 3 teams because these teams are the top favourites for the championship in the Champions League (according to bookmakers I mean). I also agree with this classification honestly because they are technically the strongest teams with the best squads. I don't think that any of them will feel any weakness in their squads much. Real Madrid could make a transfer for the defense line though. Because Alaba has also got injured so Ancelotti needs to strengthen the position.
These team you mentioned apart from Bayern Munich, they have actually made it official about their intentions to make signing by January but whats not clear at the moment is which players they are willing and ready to sign at the moment, they are yet to have an official deal with any of the players of their choice but they are sure making signings by the end of the season.

Real Madrid for sure needs a Player to help them especially with their striking, if they will be sure to win the UCL then they definitely need to get a player who will help them get that position fixed if not it will really tell on their performance and their numbers of goals will not be as much as maybe expected of them because they lack the force for such. The limitations Bayern Munich will be having regardless of their strength will be experience but then it will be a thing of delight to see the UCL going to Germany by the end of this season.

Arsenal scoring the first goal gave me much hope that they are definitely winning this game with out much stress because they did possessed the first half of the game with so much strength an they were literally domineering in the early minutes of the first half of the game enough for me to be convinced they will win this game.

After the equalizer before the end of the first half, Arsenal started loosing their rhythm on the pitch so much so that they were no long able to dominate as they have done earlier, in the second half of the game it looked like Arsenal lost it as their opponent were all over the place not giving them a chance to score a goal and they were unable to penetrate the defense line enough to be able to secure a goal, this is one of the games I'm seeing Arsenal looking like the lost for especially in the second half, I was unable to understand their pattern and tactics.
1727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling and religious restrictions on: December 31, 2023, 03:06:07 PM
Talking with someone that is Muslim yesterday, it was suggested to me that many Muslims around the world might be using crypto to circumvent the strict treatment of gambling in predominantly Muslim countries.

It was an interesting concept to consider that since crypto can be used to conceal your spending, it is probably also used by people who want to gamble to avoid the consequences based on religious practices.

But the more interesting side of this is that some probably interpret gambling with crypto as permissible under religious rules. Not exactly 100% approved let's say but not explicitly forbidden either.

So what do you think about this? Does gambling with crypto mean that laws about gambling being Haram don't apply all the time?
I was thinking that of crypto is earned outside of one's regular job, for example as a reward for activities such as bounties or sweepstakes, then maybe gambling with these earnings insta Haram?

These concepts are interesting to me because most Christian people like me, while having our religion dictate that gambling is a very serious sin, most do it anyway. Basically most christians aren't very pious at all and don't follow religion rules at least in my experience. So using loopholes to circumvent religious rules when your country even endorsed certain casinos isn't needed that much. So it's interesting to observe these differences.
I see this as just creating an excuses outside the religious frame to make you gamble with your conscience believing or convincing your self that you are not doing something wrong but then it's important to understand that cryptocurrency are still valued financially so the equivalent is same as using your money to gamble so they are all the same thing.

These cryptocurrency are literally earned, some persons work for it while some other are given as rewards so it will not make any sense to see it as not been a form of financial involvement in gambling hence it exclueds you from the fact that you are gambling on religious grounds, I see that as self decit because if you win while gambling with crypto, the next line of action is withdrawal which is later valued in your local currency a d the proceed thereof is used for your self so you gambled and if religiously it's considered a sin you are a sinner because you did sinned.

No matter how perfect you are, you can't win a bet always. Gambling isn't a sure things even after making good predictions. Don't be shocked when an underdog win a match. It's high time gambler learn this to help them cope with been addicted to gambling.
It's not possible that you consistently win as a gambler without having to encounter some losses at some points except you stop gambling after your wins that way you may not secure a loss again but if you consistently gamble, chances are that you will loose at some point and it doesn't mean you not profitable or bad at gambling but it's just a normal phenomenon.

Understanding this will really go a long way helping the mindset of every any any gambler as contrary to the previous mindset of a must win at every point which definitely don't happen in such manner, this mindset will also help them reduce their risk of turning addicted to gambling as a result of their consistent chase to profit gambling without understanding they not every day is a lucky one rathe we use some day to further gain more experience on gambling which Also helps improve your gambling skill as a gambler.
1729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: December 31, 2023, 02:42:58 PM
Sometimes people are always addicted to playing gambling online and this has made them loss alot of funds, due to always topping up theire casino account with there debit card when they loose. and this usually makes them exhaust all there funds.

While those people playing offline in casino halls play with only the little money they have at hand, and that will reduce the risk of over spending. So now my question is this

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?
In terms of risk reduction I think it still narrows down to the gamblers and not the casino as you are the one to determine how much risk you are willing to take at a time so it definitely not dependent on the casino.be it online or offline as all you have to do is to place the stake with reference to your risk appetite and how much you have got to risk.

The only difference is cash for offline casino and bank card for online transfer and to bridge this difference, you just have to make withdrawals and you can continue with your gambling for offline just like you just have to use your bank card or probably do a transfer to continue with the online gambling so both exposes you to almost the same amount of risk you just have to manage it well enough so you don't go bankrupt by the end of the day. I personally prefer gambling online not for any particular reason but convenience and that's my preference.

There's something called levels when it involves football, there are different leagues in the world of football but only several have become chosen to be top and competitive, these leagues are not build today but in decades and beyond. How is it the French football authorities fault that their league is dormant and not improving. You're right though, Seria A and Bundesliga are better than Ligue One over these past years and they will continue to be, there's no level of top competition these French clubs can boosts of winning other than getting eliminated in the early stages.
Sometimes ago I did mentioned in one of my post that the Ligue 1 is becoming so boring such that it could be classified as one of the mediocre league across Europe because you don't find any competition there, there's nothing to keep you intrigued enough to drag your attention to the league and the only team which brings a few attention to the league is PSG.

The french authorities seem not to have noticed this well enough, this season has been one of the most interesting season across Europe as a good level of tension can be seen across all the leagues in Europe except for the Ligue one where PSG continually dominate even up until this season similar case was seen in the bundesliga before but now it quiet different as this season the dominant team is literally working hard to get to the top of the standing but Ligue 1 continually makes it so easy for PSG they they go up and down the stands at will literally.

One of the matches of the day that I was surprised by the result of the day was the Udinese-Bologna match.Bologna, the in-form team of the last weeks, lost away from home without scoring a goal, which was a surprise for me.Udinese, the team with the most draws in the league, almost scored a goal against this in-form team.
Milan defeated Sassuolo 1-0 and got 3 points and increased their score to 36.Milan, who finished the season with a win, played a good game against Sassuolo.Although they had problems scoring goals, Pulisic scored in the 59th minute to win the game for his team.
So far the season keeps coming with loads of surprises such that at some point we begin to wonder what exactly is happening and these surprises happens at times we literally do not expect them to happen, I mean when teams that are perceived to be weak defeat team perceived to be strong it really surprising.

The interesting part of the surprise has to be with the fact that this teams win with good margins so not only did they win but the margin was such that we literally didn't expect such to happen just like the bologna match yesterday, a 3-0 defeat was really far from expectations as against a team that has literally drawn a good percentage of their games this season and that's why I do speculate that football is a game of too many uncertainties and predicting out comes at times requires some level of skills. Milans win was very much anticipated but the margin was below expectations personally I had expected they had done more but then what's important is they got three points.

Yes, Real Madrid still needs a number 9 player, because Joselu performance is not very satisfactory. On the other side, the current rumors are that Real Madrid will recruit Mbappe in this winter transfer window. Hopefully Real Madrid offer to Mbappe is true and not just a rumor, to sharpen the attack line Real Madrid must immediately recruit him. But Real Madrid plans are quite good, they have secured the services of talented wonderkid Endrick Felipe in the new season and that young man will play for Real Madrid at next.
If Real Madrid succeeds in strengthen their attack line with a suitable player to be positioned at the number nine to get a perfect striking force then definitely the balance of the team will be such that they will have a very formidable strength across Europe and every other team who will be facing them in any fixture thereafter will need an extra effort to win them.

The rumours about mbappe's deal currently still remains speculative because neither parties are yet to give a public stands on the present or current situation of the deal, this includes the fact that mbappe is yet to give a solid stand on his move to Madrid yet neither has Madrid made it known officially if they will still be continuing with the de or not. The impact of mbappe on Real Madrid as anticipated by everyone can't be overly emphasized as it's obvious and that's why the team did all they could at some point to getting the deal pull through.

They have failed to win any of their last 6 matches in all competitions which is very bad for a team that almost won the league last season although they have not lost many matches but they draw too much and it is the reason they don’t find themselves in the top 4. Dortmund are better than this and they need query themselves and do better because we all thought after a wonderful display and challenge for the title last season we would see a more determined team that will try and win the league again. They are far from winning the league but they can try and secure a spot in the top 4 to qualify for the next season champions league.
Currently Dortmund may seem like they are having a bad time with their performance so far and it's almost looking like they will not be able to make bit to the next UCL because even in the bundesliga they are literally struggling to get to top four which is one sure guarantee o securing a spot at the next UCL.

Still drawing with minimal losses is still a sigh of hope that they have still got some good chances of improvement, their next four fixtures doesn't seem like tough Ones which I personally see as an opportunity to be able to make up for the draw down they have had all this while so it's very possible they can get back if they are able to win all four games that a guaranteed 12 points which will definitely help them secure a spot at the top four positions on the table before the season ends so there's definitely still much hope for Dortmund if only they brace up at the time.

If you ask me, I think it is almsot safe to say that we will see some surprises this season as we have seen surprises in other seasons. It rarely goes according to plan from the first to the last game in any competition. We are seeing surprises in all leagues these days and I doubt that all the favorites will go from one round to the next without any issues. Some of them will have some problems and I am sure we will also lose some along the way in the Europa League. In the end it is also about the drawings and whether they meet in the next round already.
I'm actually ready to meet good surprises this season because so far what I've seen shows that there are some uncertainties that are associated with the results we will be having by the end of the season and this isn't peculiar to the Europa alone as it cuts across all other league across Europe this season except for the Ligue 1 that's isn't showing a different sign.

Earlier at the beginning of this season, we all envisaged that Liverpool are most likely to win the Europa and they did performed so well that it further increased our confidence in the fact they they are very likely to win the Europa league title by the end of this season but then currently I wouldn't be really surprised if by the end of the season Liverpool fails to win because there are other big team currently in the Europa who will cease every opportunity to winning the trophy, they includes the likes of Leverkusen and AC Milan.

Arsenal are good and playing well they just needs more blending because of some new players that joined but in no time they will be fully ready. I like their playing style and mentality, they always want to win matches no matter what and thats what a team needs. I believe in them to challenge and go far in the competition.
I don't think blending is much of the problem Arsenal has got at this time, after all since this. Season they have been blending in so we'll with their performance and Al the team members have had a very even chemistry which has been obvious a few times in their results so I'm not of the opinion that blending is a challenge to them.

They just need to strengthen their attacking and striking force through the next transfer window because currently it's looking like parte isn't functional well enough as expected of him and much pressure is now on Saka to deliver but Declan Rice is still optimal, these few adjustments need to be done before their next UCL fixture if they must be able to deliver through moreover so far they don't really look promising with the champions league except the premier league maybe.

You can't compare last season Liverpool with Manchester United and Klopp with ten Hag. The difference between them couldn't be bigger. Liverpool has played some of the best soccer the global audience has ever seen when they finished the Premier League with 99 points in 2019/2020 or with 92 points in 2021/2022. You also can't compare Klopp with ten Hag. Klopp is a thousand times better than ten Hag. Klopp doesn't have issues dealing with superstars while ten Hag has a problem with his ego. I have never seen Klopp treating his players the same way as ten Hag does it.
I can't agree any less, klopp is a better world class coach than ten hag is, I will even say klopp has a better sense of maturity handling his team members much more than ten hag does, because ten hag is in charge of an elite team such as Manchester united doesn't make him any better coach as he's not anyways close as compared to klopp.

Ten hang has got so much ego and he obviously protects it at all cost even at some point to the detriment of the teams achievement as obviously see in his attitude with the way he relates to players in his squad. The players seem to to have that atmosphere around them that supports their performance as provided by the coach, but with klopp hardly a time will there be complains of him having issues with his team players, he rather tries his best to bring out the very best in them. Ten hag would have been a good coach if only he works on his character with his players.

I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.
Exactly few months back ,I observed they my favourite game wasn't turning out in my favour more often as it used to be and it did gave me some concerns such that I began to wonder why is it turning out in such form ,so I taught to my self to use a different approach which ment that I changed my choice of game which I did.

It's very reasonable to change your game, regardless of your history of profitability with a particular game, it's still important you change your game and try out new once to be able to increase your chances of winning the game and staying profitable in your bets but then most persons seem not to see it in this light rather they think because they have a better knowledge on a particular game and have had a history of wins with the game, they then decide to stick to the game regardless and stay in losses which is a very wrong idea, it's good to be dynamic if thats what it will take you to stay profitable in the game.
1738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Single or accumulation, which one do you prefer when it comes to sport betting on: December 30, 2023, 11:21:44 PM
I just wish to see people view about single bet and accumulated bet. Which one do you till can be profitable when it comes to gambling. Although I normally do the two but in most cases I prefer accumulated bet to single bet.
With cumulated bets you get the chance and privilege to be able to accumulate more odds than you will do on a single bet ,so it's usually very much better for those who are looking forward to accumulating so much odds and not accuracy or certainties of their game played so I think it's the advantage attached to such preference.

For single bets most often, it's looking forward to getting some more accuracy in your bet than you will get with multiple picks and there's some level of certainty that comes with single bet such that only in a very few cases that it happens to be lost at the end of the day, single games reduce your risk, it also reduce your chances of losses and further gives you an edge at winning more often but then for the ones who don't consider accuracy and all that, accumulated bet is their run to option, personally I chose depending on what I want at the moment, if I want accuracy I chose a single bet or limit my picks to just three otherwise I just do multiple picks.

Good history brings the whereabouts of success, no club that stands strong in the modern day of football that doesn't have regular style of prehistory football records. Good history from PSG and this have stand out to aides in helping their present. It's their birthright, PSG will continue to dominate and win major trophies. Currently, the club is not having any significant push to elevate their performance rather they will rather stick to becoming a good upgraded team that's desperate for a win and success is the major next thing that would happen to the club.
They have maintained a very good and historical records in the Ligue one and so far it doesn't seem like any other team is able or ready enough to dispute or probably change the narrative  because PSG still maintains that prowess amongst other teams in the Ligue 1 this season much more like they have done subsequently.

I would think that PSG would focus more on getting the champions league title which have been their biggest dream, this has been one of the reasons the team continually invest in buying players all most at every transfer windows because they are hoping to achieve this dream some day, if it will take them forefeiting the Ligue 1 title for a season, after all the have had this title for almost a decade so if they win same title again it's like nothing new to anyone but if they get the UCL then it will do so much good to them, bother the attention they will get, the pay and so many other benefits that comes with it.

I was assuming Vitor Roque was going to join by next summer just as Endrick will at Real Madrid. Roque is only 18 years old now. But he seems like a talented centre-forward for now. The number of goals he has scored so far is really impressive considering his young age. Barcelona signed him for only 40 million euros which could be a very profitable deal.

It is all up to Roque's adaptation level. If he does well with European football then Barcelona can benefit from his finishing skills and help him improve himself much more in the meantime.
I think signing victor Roque is a very good and profitable deal for Barcelona this season as  he's going to serve in a very sensitive position which was vital and very much needed for Barcelona so it was a good deal for Barcelona as they did had a fair deal considering their current financial state which has in a way limited some of the actions the te would want to take.

Lewandoski is no doubt becoming aged and not in the best form to future I'm Barcelona game sand deliver the desired results of him, because the factor of his constraints is such that he can really fight as it's from nature itself which makes it quiet peculiar in his case. So just like you rightly stated, in the mean time victor will not be playing but will be watching around well enough to observe and get used to Barcelona style and patterns of playing then as soon as he starts he would have already gotten used to his new team and would play well enough to fit in the team when he starts playing with them.
