The problem with Manchester City is that they have actually kept a good control over the match. But they have not been able to do well in the final third of the pitch. Manchester City had most of the possession of the ball. And whenever they went to the final third, it looked like they were forcing everything. Maybe they should have taken it a little more relaxed, maybe one more pass and that could have done the trick. But I absolutely agree that the attackers of Manchester City were kept under control pretty well by the defenders of Arsenal.

By the way, this is actually a very good result for Liverpool. Now Liverpool has point advantage over both of them. Liverpool is currently two points ahead of Arsenal and three points ahead of Manchester City.

Yep and Mancity will be in big trouble if they fail to win against Aston this week/Wednesday.
Because Liverpool will only face Sheffield and Arsenal vs Luton, it is almost certain that both teams will get full points.
And next week, Arsenal and Mancity fans will definitely hope Manutd can beat or at least hold Liverpool to a draw at Old Trafford.

Licenses and regulations are created as a process to verify the legitimacy of a company. For companies that tend to manage money rather than goods, a license is very necessary to ensure that money from users/customers is safe and to ensure company able to pay if users withdraw money and to guarantee company does not commit fraud. In gambling, a license is needed to prevent scams and also to minimize fraud from providers. Licensing cannot prevent it 100% from scam, but at least users will be safer using licensed services.

Thats right, it is better to play at a casino with license, even though it doesnt mean that a legal casino won't commit scams.
With a license, the casino owner is not anonymous and unlike illegal casinos where they can just disappear to avoid legal action.

Another example,
When gamblers have problems with an online casino, they will usually report it to Casinoguru or Askgambler.
Casinoguru and Askgambler usually refuse to intervene if the issue is related with illegal/unlicensed casino.

Three Juventus talking points from 1-0 loss against Lazio: Allegri out?

Quote
Allegri out?
Last but certainly not least. What does Juventus’ defeat in Rome mean for Allegri? The Tuscan tactician’s contract runs out in June 2025, but he’s been under severe pressure across the last two months, securing just one win in nine matches and collecting seven points. Wojciech Szczęsny admitted that Juventus players may have lost motivation following their loss to Inter in February, practically ending their title hopes. Clearly, Allegri has been unable to pass on his ideas to the team in the second part of the campaign, not only to the most experienced players but also to the youngest members of the team, which is perhaps even more worrying. At the moment, Juventus are still in the top four. Therefore Allegri hasn’t failed to reach the main target of the season. However, such a poor run of results should be an alarm bell for Juventus’ directors. The feeling is that Allegri can’t achieve more with this group of players, who seem to have run out of energy despite playing just two competitions. Allegri seems tired and players look exhausted, so even if the Bianconeri qualify for the Champions League, the club should be aiming for a fresh start in 2024-25.

The truth is that it wouldn't seem right to me that they took Allegri out, he has always been there, I think it's like a gesture of bad gratitude on the part of the team if they throw him out.

Last week I still had confidence that Allegri would stay with Juve at least until the end of this season.
But with Bologna getting closer with a difference of only 2 points now and Juve only able to win 1 time in the last 9 games = Allegri must out.
It is better to choose a temporary caretaker as Juve manager until the end of the season.
I only have 1 candidate for Juve Manager next season, Thiago Motta.

Clam machines with doll as the prize like this cannot be categorized as gambling because there is no motive to seek economic gain, but is only for entertainment.
Some people are definitely addicted to playing this game again and again but they only do that for fun.

But if the claw machine is like in the last screenshot (real money?), it can be categorized as gambling because there is cash involved there.
Im still not sure whether its real money or play money that can be exchanged for gifts? If its play money, I dont think it can be categorized as gambling.

This game require a skill too, because if we have played several times on the same machine, we already know the advantages and disadvantages of that machine.
And machines like this are prone to cheating, such as weak claws and unresponsive levers.

I think so, because memecoin in the previous token/network may not be very profitable for memecoin creators and speculators.
They need a new community that is considered still have interest to investing in this scheme.
So I wouldnt be surprised if in the next few months this memecoin trend will move again to a new token/network - "rinse and repeat".

Soon or later the memecoin trend will definitely die, it will happen when people/bad actors can no longer profit from the scheme.
All these new memecoins are like legalized ponzis because everyone can buy them on legal exchanges.
And the creators will not be subject to legal action if one day their coins suddenly become worthless.
So, as long as this scheme remains profitable - new memecoins will always be born every day.

It doesn't look like Napoli will be able to reach top 4 this season. Is there anyone who still believes in them to do this now?

This would have really negative consequences for this team truthfully. Like not being able to prevent some of their valuable players from leaving this summer already.  Sad  Napoli were already not a consistent title contender before though. Only the last season was like a dream for them thanks to Spalletti. This was what motivated their best players to stay longer.

However now players like Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia could seriously think about leaving... No Champions League means no success for them of course.

In my opinion, Napoli defeat against Atalanta this time was due to the brilliance of the Atalanta goalkeeper and the poor finishing of the Napoli players.

Napoli star players definitely want to leave/move because theres so much disharmony in the club.
The Napoli president still intervenes to determine strategy and which players should play in every Napoli match.
If he wants to continue like that, he should just appoint himself as Manager/Coach of Napoli lol.
And now hes facing a heavy fine after pushed a TV cameraman while ending a player interview.

Sepertinya sampai sekarang data kita yang berada di cex luar atau website luar lainnya juga masih aman atau setidaknya tidak pernah mendengar berita ada data diri orang Indonesia pernah digunakan untuk penipuan crypto dll di luar negeri.
Mungkin karena para scammer diluar sana lebih membutuhkan informasi identitas orang yang tinggal di Eropa dan US karena dianggap lebih berharga dan bisa menghasilkan uang.
Kalau di lokal kita sendiri paling dipakai untuk pinjol dan memang marak terjadi tahun kemarin.

Mau tidak mau memang kita harus KYC di cex lokal, kalau tidak bagaimana mau menukar crypto ke rupiah dan sebaliknya?
Sebenarnya masih banyak penjual/pembeli crypto perorangan jika tidak mau melakukan KYC, tapi jadi agak ribet dan rawan kena scam.

The Premier League will most likely get 1 additional spot for the Champions League next season, depending on the achievements of the English clubs in all European competitions this season.
So the 5th position in the league shall join in the Champions League and the 6th position in the Europa League.
Manutd still has a big chance to take part in European competitions, because England has 5 clubs competing in all European competitions now.
With the new format, it will indeed be very possible if the EPL team does that it's just that for now I see is what if in the end there are new format rules when adding Champions League slots but this season Liverpool who are in competition in the EPL for the championship race (systematically in the top 4) and they become champions in the Europa Legaue because they are now competing in the quarter-finals and the big chance of winning is still very much there for now.

When the automatic slot for the Europa League champion (if Liverpool wins) whether there will indeed be additions from other clubs or not because in the end we can see it even become 6 slots if the new rules are 5 EPL clusters in the Champions League as well as the Europa League champion who is automatically included in the Champions League the following season.

Is this also possible or are only 5 slots still used?
Because if it is only 5 slots, I think all leagues are still possible, especially for last season we saw in La Liga who got 5 slots and the previous 2 seasons there were clubs from the Bundesliga who got it.

UEFA associations club coefficients ranking:
Italy 17.714 points
Germany 16.357 points
England 16.250 points

The 2 countries with the highest points will get 1 additional spot for the Champions League next season.
Currently there are 5 clubs from the Premier League still competing in all European competitions, while there are only 3 from Bundesliga.

UEFA rules only allow a maximum of 5 clubs from each country to compete in the Champions League, but these rules do not apply if,
For example: Mancity won the Champions League but their position in the league at the end of the season was ranked 7th (1st to 5th UCL and 6th EL),
then there will be 6 representatives from the Premier League to join the Champions League next season including Mancity.
And if Mancity win the Champions League, and they finish in the top 5 (league) = England representatives will still be 5.

And if Liverpool wins the Europa League, it will be considered the same as the Mancity case above.
Because Liverpool will almost certainly be in the top 4 in the league at the end of the season.
So, it is still possible for 7 clubs from England to take part in the Champions League if Mancity wins UCL, Liverpool wins EL and both of the teams are not ranked in the top 5 (league)
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: March 30, 2024, 12:51:06 PM
Yep apart from Mancity, Aston also still has to face Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Brighton at home. And it looks like they might lose many points from these matches.
Meanwhile for Tottenham, they also still have to play against Chelsea, Mancity, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Manutd clearly still has a chance to be in the top 4 of the league at the end of this season, as long they dont waste any more points against relatively weaker teams.
United also still have tough games against Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. Tottenham still has 1 match left against City and United will only face mediocre teams. I think United will have to work hard if they want to get fourth place. They are 6 points behind Tottenham and 9 points behind Aston Villa. They also still have some tough games ahead. I think position 4 will be a competition between Tottenham and Aston Villa. United's chances are very small. It looks like they will not play in international competitions next season.

The Premier League will most likely get 1 additional spot for the Champions League next season, depending on the achievements of the English clubs in all European competitions this season.
So the 5th position in the league shall join in the Champions League and the 6th position in the Europa League.
Manutd still has a big chance to take part in European competitions, because England has 5 clubs competing in all European competitions now.

Hey guys,

Fist of all, if English posts aren’t allowed here, don’t worry and just trash this topic (Grin).

I’m a frequent traveler backpack-style and am visiting Indonesia for the first time, just arriving in Jakarta today. What’s a better way to know a country than asking for advice from locals? I might just try!

I know that Indonesian people are very friendly (already proven today), so maybe someone here is happy to give me some tips for things to do and see (also places to visit thinking beach/nature/chilling other than Bali, which I already plan to visit).

I appreciate any input, thanks. Smiley

1. The hot weather will definitely be a bit annoying for tourists from non-tropical region, so you should always drink lots of water and always bring a sunblock.
2. For some tourists who have just arrived in Indonesia, many types of local food are not friendly to the stomach because they are not used to it.
Dont forget to bring medicine for gastric, diarrhea and anti-mosquito lotion when traveling to rural areas, forests, etc to prevent malaria.
3. Always be alert and dont immediately trust someone, its better to use a guide service so you can visit many places and not waste time on your holiday.
4. When a trader comes to you and offers an item or service, and you want to buy it - always ask for the price first and ask for a better price.
5. When exchanging money it is recommended that you always count it again before leaving the place.
6. Dont hesitate to ask again in this thread if you need information or help during your holiday in Indonesia.
7. Happy Holiday!

Cardiff vs Sunderland
I just have to take this amazing odds on Cardiff, they are in great form now and Sunderland is missing several important players tomorrow including best striker Clarke.
If you want safer bet than aisna handicap is also a good option, even oddss for 1X double chance are nice.

Doh, Sunderland leading with 2-0 now/HT. If I had to bet in this match, then I would also definitely bet on Cardiff to win.
Sunderland can only win 4 times from 19 away games, hopefully Cardiff can turn things around in the 2nd half later.

Note: I myself have given up waiting for Sunderland to return to the Premier League since they relegated back in 2017,
because the club management is busy changing the managers again and again rather than making a long-term plans for the club.
194  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if an employee of a betting company misuses company funds for gambling? on: March 29, 2024, 03:20:12 PM
It is unlikely that this will happen in online casinos because only a few people have access to open their hot wallets or cold wallets.
In fact, in many online casinos, only the owner can access it.

In land-based casinos, supervision is also very very strict, CCTV is definitely everywhere.
It would be very stupid if anyone dare to use/steal casino money to gamble again, the consequences could be very harsh and cruel considering that land-based casino owners are clearly not just ordinary people.

Two (2) (1) days remaining before the game starts! Looking forward to your participation.


If you are a Manutd fan and usually like to bet on Manutd - then dont miss Brentford vs Manutd match this weekend.
Manutd still needs a lot of points to break into the top 5 because it is very likely that there will be 5 English clubs in the Champions League next season, depending on the points obtained by English clubs in all European Competitions this season.
The payout is also quite big, 2.20x for Manutd wins and dont forget to check the over-under market.
Manutd stats when away: always ends with Over 2.5 in their last 5 league matches.
Brentford stats at home: always ends with Over 2.5 in the last 7 league matches.

About the group, what a lucky guy is Cristiano easy group for them.


Image Source: Rollbit

They're quite lucky and the only problem for them will be Turkey. BTW, do you think Portugal can make it to the semi-finals? considering they're one of the favorite teams with the lowest odds. I think it's still possible they go to the semi-finals, but not sure they can go to the final.

I think its too early to predict Portugal can advance to the semifinals because now they are in the "easy" group:
Group F: Portugal, Turkey, Czech, Georgia
Group D: Holland, France, Austria, Poland
Group E: Romania, Ukraine, Belgium, Slovakia

Round of 16:
Group F winner vs 3rd place A/B/C
Group F 2nd place vs Group D winner
Group D 2nd place vs Group E 2nd place
Group E winner vs 3rd place A/B/C/D

So if Portugal wins Group F, then it is very likely that they can qualify for the Quarterfinals, because their opponent in the round of 16 maybe only a weak team.
But if Portugal only finish as runner-up in Group F, their opponent will be France or Holland.

Quarterfinals:
(Group F winner vs 3rd place A/B/C) vs (Group D 2nd place vs Group E 2nd place)
(Group D 2nd place vs Group E 2nd place) vs (Group E winner vs 3rd place A/B/C/D)

So with the schedule above, Portugal opponents in the quarterfinals will almost certainly be: France or Holland or Belgium.
That is a reason why I still doubt that Portugal can qualify to the semifinals.

Yes, winning something together with friends will certainly be more fun and when we lose with the same bet it can also ease a bit of our disappointment, because we are not alone on that.
But when the bet is lost or when we bet on a different team in one match, there is a chance that we can blame each other and this can cause quarrels with friends.
Its okay to bet together with friends, but its not wise if you do it continuously.

Having games like;

Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester City and  Aston Villa against Manchester City is reason enough why nobody should write off Manchester United from qualifying for that top four position.

Yep apart from Mancity, Aston also still has to face Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Brighton at home. And it looks like they might lose many points from these matches.
Meanwhile for Tottenham, they also still have to play against Chelsea, Mancity, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Manutd clearly still has a chance to be in the top 4 of the league at the end of this season, as long they dont waste any more points against relatively weaker teams.

It is very likely that Max Allegri will no longer be the coach of Juventus next year, given the poor results so far I don't think the club wants to continue to invest in him, but I wonder who the replacement could be? Osimhen will leave even with the qualification to the next Champions League, last summer he already wanted to leave as he had been repeatedly approached by PSG, rather I have the feeling that Kvaraskhelia could also say goodbye to Napoli.

Next year will be a year of many changes
I cant say that I am happy to see him go, after all he is a good coach and I am verry sorry
I am convinced that the poor results are not his fault but a lot of bad luck, for example last season there was the terrible punishment of not playing the cups. Not Allegri fault.

Yes, its not entirely Allegri fault, and he also couldnt get the star players he wanted in the 2023/2024 season because Juve only able to play in domestic competitions.
However, maybe he still has a chance to stay until his contract expires, as long as he can bring Juve to win the Coppa Italia.
The rumors spreading now are that Zidane or Conte will become the next Juve manager.

In addition, I don't see there is another team that might be a strong opponent for Manchester City in the remaining of their matches this season.
Yes I admit that Manchester City is indeed a good and strong team, but there is a still have another strong team like Liverpool to shift to first position stand if Arsenal and the City will most likely don't have control on their match. Currently there are still 10 matches left for them, which I think anything possible will happen in the future, Liverpool, Arsenal, The city have a big chance to be champions for this session. when we look by experience, usually if one of their core players get the injured the team will feel lame, and usually in their performance will decline until the end of the session.


I think there are still 3 matches where Mancity might fail to get full points:
Tottenham vs Mancity
Mancity vs Aston
Brighton vs Mancity

I wrote Brighton above because from their last 14 matches at home, Brighton has only lost once and it happen back in August 2023.
Even big teams such as Liverpool could only get a draw, Tottenham and Newcastle even didn't get any points from there.
