1841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 08, 2023, 11:41:13 AM


the experience will always vary from person to person as we have different situations in life. but the most important thing is how you rise up from your situation and as you said regain control of yourself.
do remember, don't get too attached with your losses or winnings. you will go crazy if you will put your head into this and worry every bet you make.
The experience varies alot and another thing I've learned over the years is that these emotions mainly erupt when we use the last cash we have to go and gamble, losing it we get agitated thinking of the penury the loss have made of us, but when you see the rich guy gambling he hardly get that emotionally aggressive even after losing reason being that he's conscious of what is left in his bank account and sonhe doesn't have to worry a bit about the loss and it's just a little piece loss. So it will be appropriate people don't go gamble with the last cash in their possession to dodge getting emotional if lost.

I think that is the main disease for someone who will soon enter the addiction zone, simply put they want to win but do not want to lose, and one of the reasons why they dare to put their last money on gambling is because they are frustrated enough with all the defeats they experience so at that time they act like someone who has surrendered by saying "this is my last money and hopefully in this last chance there is luck", none other than all of that is still driven by their hopes that always assume "hopefully" but still the casino will not care whether it is your last money or not.

The point is if you are involved then it is very likely that you will become one of the casino targets to experience defeat. Simply put "start with hope and end with emotion" there is no regret there because awareness is still quite far away, especially for beginners who are still serious and ambitious. Yes it is clear, the rich already have a lot of financial resources so they will not worry too much if in that session they lose because they already have the right and easy way to make money, while we? obviously losing is a big problem because of our lack of income sources. That's why we should gamble with money that we can afford to lose without any expectations at the end of the session.

Of course, their courage has a reason because the financial strength factor is quite good so maybe they don't think twice every time they want to allocate money to anything whether it's to buy expensive items or including gambling, they already have a powerful way of making money so it doesn't seem like too much of a problem for them to spend money at certain times. On the other hand, we are ordinary people or mean those who do not have the financial strength like them, it is a very clear difference and therefore we should not put the same amount of money as them because obviously we will definitely be confused if we lose because we do not have a good way of making money in real life and different from those who already have a way.

$500 may be a small amount for them but for us it is huge and can probably be used for living expenses for a few weeks, for time problems yes they are rich people are that busy and of course this makes sense to say that they don't have much time to gamble or even to just rest. Simply put the rich have a lot of money to gamble but not a lot of time, well whereas we have a lot of time but not enough money, the more time we have the longer we gamble and that can be the starting point of someone's addiction.
Having financial strength will give them more room to allocate their money to places they think can be profitable apart from just using it for gambling. Even though they can buy expensive things, they can still earn more over time. We will not be like them unless we can also earn more money and generate more from our sources of income. We have to get this financial strength in various ways so that we can improve our finances better than before. One day, we will definitely be able to make more money, especially from the bitcoin investments we have made so far.

$500 is a small amount for them, but it is a large amount for us that we can use for the next few days or weeks. That's the difference between rich people who can make money from many sources of income so they can still spend a lot of money on whatever they want. But if they only use their money to gamble, gradually, they will run out of money because, in gambling, there will definitely be losses that will come. If they cannot manage their finances well, they will suffer losses and it could even cost them all their money and make them bankrupt.

Yes and it is a freedom for them to allocate wherever money they want to spend, no other than because their money is like running water that seems endless, but it is not easy to be able to have financial freedom like that and all thanks to the hard work they do and persevere so that it brings extraordinary results. On the other hand I think that even if you have very good financial strength does not mean you have to forget about managing your finances, still all expenses must be taken into account and should not be excessive consistently, because the name of money is very easy to run out and that means I hope they can allocate money to gambling only with the amount they can afford to lose, it's better because the fear is that you don't realize that because of your overly affressive approach to gambling it makes you lose money over time in a large enough amount. I'm sure with the rapid development of this era, some rich people must have allocated some of their money to investments, because that's a place that can make your money grow and away from inflation like in bitcoin that you mentioned.

I think the difference is that the rich have found a way to earn while we are still spinning around looking for a way to better finances. The point is there should still be a limit to their gambling as well.
1843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: December 07, 2023, 11:55:28 PM
my advice is to keep gambling with the limits you have and don't try to overdo it because you want to win like everyone else, the point is maybe your luck is next time.

that's what matters, no matter rich or enough. we have to gamble based on our limits. Don't ever try to break through these limits if you don't want to mess up your finances.
We'll never know when we'll hit the jackpot, but it can encourage us to keep betting within our limits. we might think spending enough to get a win. but rich people also definitely spend more than us to get their winnings.

Yes the problem is because no matter how much money you have it will easily run out if you are too excessive and can not apply any limits to the gambling you do, I'm sure there will be rich people who think they have money so they are free to gamble with the amount they want, but on the other hand remember that management will always be the most important thing and as I said above no matter how much money you have it will very easily run out in gambling. And you are a big target for the casinos, the croupiers will smile when your big money runs out just because you have too much hope in something uncertain.

Of course, everyone can never know when they will be lucky, and logically if someone can know when they will be lucky then surely no one will lose, while on the other hand gambling is only about losing and winning. Doesn't that make sense? So I hope they can think in that direction so that they can realize what is best to do and what not to do. So the point is that there is no difference between the middle class and the rich and in the matter of luck and never compare the amount of your winnings with the rich because obviously the money the rich have is much bigger, so it's better to gamble with money that you can afford.

Yes because it is the initial stage of their involvement, I think everything is likely to experience the same approach scenario including me also who became a victim of coming with the wrong mindset, it is very bad and I really feel how pressure when defeat always dominates you which makes your financial situation unstable or even destroyed. We as beginners still have a mindset that makes less sense and still have full confidence but in the wrong way and purpose, but it doesn't matter if they start their approach with misunderstandings because this is the initial process and what is certain is that hopefully you or they can fix everything by being able to reach the realization that this activity is really not recommended to produce.

On the other hand for myself honestly I went through a 5 month process to be able to realize myself that gambling should not be done except for entertainment purposes so as not to overdo it. Yes maybe it's true as you say, I also believe that there must still be some people who come to gambling just for fun, and I think most of them are rich people, because I think logically they already have a lot of money and already know how to make money so it doesn't make sense if they make money by depending on luck in gambling.
As beginners are also susceptible to the temptations they see in casinos, they will start to be tempted to try it, and in the end, they will deposit more money. They don't pay attention to the boundaries they have often read about, so they don't continue to stay within them. And what will happen next is that they will gamble more often and use more money than before, even though they see that they rarely win. They should be able to avoid losing a lot, but because they are curious about the gambling game, they keep depositing more money.

You are still lucky that it only takes 5 months to come to your senses, while there are still many people who cannot realize the mistakes they have made in gambling and even realize their mistakes because they have become addicted to gambling. You are right that gambling is entertainment, and you should not overdo it in gambling. If not, we will gamble more often, and as a result, we will experience a lot of losses. Wins may come, but the losses that will come will outweigh the wins. We should not use gambling to make money but only as entertainment that uses money, so we should enjoy gambling as it is.

Not vulnerable anymore but I think they will almost completely be tempted by everything that is there that looks like a temptation when it is nothing more than a temptation to trap them, everything is about chance and nothing more than that but beginners are very serious and ambitious in looking at it and they think that there is certainty for victory in not like that, the more you experiment with depositing money back then of course the more you lose. They should be able to see the many examples of downturns experienced by many people, especially those who are addicted and after that apply many restrictions so that their losses do not increase.

Yes, it only took me 5 months to realize the mistakes and mindset that I brought to gambling, if there are some who take longer than the process I experienced, I honestly can't imagine how much pressure they experience with such a long time. We have to change our perspective on gambling that it is nothing more than entertainment, I've done some research that gambling involves mental and psychology which if someone is mentally known then they will be easily emotional and that's what makes usually many gamblers excessive, they have difficulty in restraining their lust as a result of disappointment over losing. The rest I quite agree with you.

Yes there is no reason to ruin a player's career, but if that happens then it can be said that the coach has personal problems and he is not professional in his work. Assuming the Atletico Madrid coach has a personal problem with Felix then let it be a problem off the field and he must be able to be professional, especially if Felix can provide something valuable to his club.
So far Felix's performance with Barcelona has been quite good and he has helped the team a lot. He also gets much better minutes than at his previous club. I'm sure if he has a lot of playing minutes he will also be able to become a reliable player, he has the potential for that.
There seems to be an issue between him and the Atlético coach. I now understand why many of their players end up moving to Barcelona or other clubs.
Barca will negotiate with Atlético Madrid for Felix that's for sure. I think Barca fans can agree with that; they love this lad and want him to stay. For Felix, I would like to say that no matter how you feel, no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how many days you've felt bad at Atlético, I hope things will change in the upcoming days. A better understanding for the betterment from both sides will take place.
If Atletico Madrid do not want to lose Felix then they should be more respectful, because in my opinion he also deserves a place, in fact when he was at another club he also got a place. But if Atletico Madrid no longer need him then they should release this plyer permanently and without making it difficult for him to leave. Now he's at the club he wants to be at, but the problem is Barcelona haven't escaped their financial problems either, so Felix must be able to play as well as possible to convince Barcelona that he is a good player for them. So Barcelona can try to reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid.
1846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 07, 2023, 02:34:44 PM

Let's assume Joan Felix wants to leave Atletico Madrid and move to Barcelona at any cost and Atletico refused to sell him or give it in loan again then what he could do to force them? Simeone could end up letting him on benches and destroying his career until 2029. This long term contract type made the position of the player to negotiate with his team very weak. I doubt Atletico Madrid will do that obviously but if they need him they will try to convince him to play with them with a promesse to be sold later easier.
What's the point of keeping such a player on the bench and paying him a salary all these years? Of course this will not happen, if Felix cannot play at Atlético as well as he does in other teams, then Atlético will simply sell him. Or if he continues to perform well at Barcelona and is able to score goals regularly, then Xavi will want to keep him in the team and Barcelona will offer to buy out his contract. For Atlético there is no point in reducing everything to simply ruining a player’s career, it is pointless.
Yes there is no reason to ruin a player's career, but if that happens then it can be said that the coach has personal problems and he is not professional in his work. Assuming the Atletico Madrid coach has a personal problem with Felix then let it be a problem off the field and he must be able to be professional, especially if Felix can provide something valuable to his club.

Yes, it's boring, but the thing is who thinks Paris Siant Germain won't be champions? I think almost everyone agrees with that. I personally don't mind who will be the champion, but I want to see a very competitive competition that can be done by all clubs and at least make Paris Saint Germain's journey not easy to get the championship. We can see now that the points have begun to widen which means, the chance of Paris Saint Germain becoming champions becomes greater. Nice, which is predicted to provide fierce competition, has in fact begun to decline.

Just compare the money they invested in Paris Siant Germain with other teams in this league and you can see Paris Siant Germain has the highest budgets in the league with many expensive players and coaches, that's why it's normal to see they win the title in the end of the season until another team gets rich owners to spend more money for them and race with PSG like that, otherwise, the chance for PSG is still much higher than other teams.  

Money is indeed one of the reasons why Paris Saint Germain are always on top of other clubs in Ligue 1. But I think why they (other clubs) don't try to attract investors to work with them, do they not have the value they can offer? I think not, or the way they do it is not enough to make their finances better? like negotiating with sponsors or so on.
Well apart from their performance that needs to be improved, I think they also need to improve their strategy in bringing in a lot of sponsors that will help their finances a lot.
1848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 07, 2023, 01:50:34 PM
A big match like that should be maximized by Girona, there will be many benefits for them besides picking up points, for example it can boost their confidence as you said. They dropped points against Real Madrid and they can't afford to do the same, or in other words they can't afford to lose again. At least they can pick up a point, 1 point in a big game against a club that often dominates can be a win for certain clubs, and that would apply to Girona as well. They still have the same points as Real Madrid, so don't let the gap widen and fall behind.
I really respect Girona's charming performance to date but against Barcelona it is very important for them to continue to look dazzling. I'm sure Girona's existence will collapse in front of Barcelona. Even though the Blaugrana are the favorites, they must be able to perform optimally, three points are something that must be achieved to shorten the distance from the leaders of the standings. Girona will also appear carefree, their collective play must be suppressed because the attacks built by Girona players will be very dangerous. However, what is clear is that Xavi is very ready to assemble the starting XI to target perfect points.
But they (Girona) can take advantage of the not-so-good situation that Barcelona is currently facing. Barcelona have problems at several points, and if Girona can analyze them well then they will be able to find their weak points and exploit them in this match.
Girona must anticipate Barcelona's attacking moves well, so far their midfield has been working well. And when their midfield is suppressed, Barcelona will find it difficult to develop their game. I think that will be something that will affect the outcome of the match.
1849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 07, 2023, 01:35:56 PM
3 consecutive draws and ending with a defeat in the last match, is something very terrible for Manchester City. I don't see Manchester City as usual in this match, Aston Villa really succeeded in making it difficult for Manchester City so that their game did not develop at all. Instead Aston Villa managed to play well, although only 1 goal they could create in this match, but that was enough to make them win.
It seems like Manchester City are always in trouble when playing without their mainstay midfielders, their lives are really in the midfielders.
Yes, I agree that in this match Man City did not play as usual. Unusually, Man City had difficulty making attacks. Guardiola must have been devastated by this result. Because the squad he trained really couldn't do much in that match. The effectiveness they usually have was lost in this match. And yes this really benefits Arsenal and Liverpool. Because now Man City is starting to be further behind by points. Even though it is not a big difference, Arsenal and Liverpool will certainly have more potential to continue to maintain their current position in the standings. And who would have thought that Man City would be ranked 4th and be overtaken by Aston Villa. This is truly beyond everyone's predictions. But because we are only in the middle of the season, anything can still happen. But if Aston Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal continue to get positive results in the next matches then this will be a loss for Man City. And I'm worried that Man City will continue to have bad results. Fortunately, in the UCL, Man City is still superior.
They are now 6 points behind leaders Arsenal. In the Premier League a distance of 6 points is not an easy distance for them to pursue, especially now that the club above Manchester City also has a good appearance.  I see their strength is almost balanced now and that is a good sign for people who want to see fierce competition in the Premier League. Is Manchester City's dominance broken this season? something that is very difficult to answer, because it can only be answered at the end of the competition.
1850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: December 07, 2023, 12:30:38 PM
Imo OP should not blame or feel bad about his friend, because he has missed a chance to win more. It is nice achievement that you have turned $1 into $50. But if your bank would be 10 times more, are you sure you would have placed same bets and would have risked the same? To be honest, I am not sure that you would go all-in. I suppose you would have bet only part of your money, and would spent rest, or maybe gambled differently. You could have won more, but dont hunt for every possible money and try to earn all possible money.

Yes it should be, I think there is nothing to blame because I think this is not a deliberate act by his friend and also maybe there are some obstacles that make OP's friend late to return the money so that OP cannot get a much bigger win. But basically if we calculate then obviously I think there OP has also got a pretty big luck by only putting $1 and getting a win of $50, obviously that's already a thousand percent profit I think.

So there is nothing wrong with being grateful for the amount of winnings, I believe what makes you quite upset is because previously you had intended to put a larger amount and when you failed to put that amount it turned out that the final result was completely in accordance with your predictions and as you expected but unfortunately you only put a small amount with $1. About your question Op has said that from the beginning he intended to put $10 and that means he is able to accept any results including the risk of losing. But the point is I think the situation he is in is still good because I think the win of $50 by only putting $1 is also very large.
1851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 07, 2023, 12:06:56 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.

Usually it's okay for your mood to change or mood swings when you're in loss, but for me, I really don't let my loosing days affect my behavior or cause any sort of behavioral changes in me, yeah I may feel bad at the moment but I always comport myself and don't let it affect my behavior towards others. Maybe it's because I prepare and anticipate every loss before it even comes, so when it comes, it doesn't affect me that much. I think the only reason it can cause such behavioral changes is when gamblers don't anticipate the losses.

It seems like you have a pretty good self-control to keep everything under control so that it doesn't affect you like a change in attitude which is possible for every gambler. But honestly I have never found or even felt any indication of a change in attitude either from myself or some of my friends who also like to gamble as a result of losing.  I never found it, unless at the same time when you lose then you are a little emotional because of the bad results, well if that I think it's normal but if it changes someone's attitude and behavior I think it's quite rare.

Yes that's right, one of the causes that we can use as a reason why they can change their attitude seems to be a mistake in the approach at the beginning, like what you said about their unpreparedness in accepting the risk of losing which is very likely to make them very emotional at the end of the session and not applying any limits or self-control so that their emotions are unstoppable and cause unconscious loss of control and behavior to become more aggressive, it makes sense.
1852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 07, 2023, 11:41:42 AM
Of course it's true with what you said regarding the situation and financial condition of billionaires, the amount of $500 maybe it's just a small part that is not difficult for them to spend or lose but that doesn't mean they always won't feel okay because it's possible that on the other hand they have or could have put a much larger amount because they feel they have great power in terms of finance and in the end lose, the situation of that large amount of defeat can also make them not okay because of their mistakes in an excessive approach. Yes that's right, at first glance I also think that someone who has become a billionaire will usually be very busy in their daily activities especially taking care of a business that they run, it is quite difficult to find free time if we are already in that position and let alone feeling lonely sometimes to find time to rest is quite difficult usually.

But on the other hand I don't think it will always be busy like that, they must also at least have a little free time to rest or find pleasure, the point is that no matter how busy someone is on the other hand they will definitely have free time and with that maybe they allocate their free time to gambling with the intention of just looking for entertainment to treat their fatigue from busy work and not to produce.
That's because they already have a source of income so they can have a lot of money that will stay supplied if they use it to buy goods or gamble. They also won't feel like they're losing money if they only use $500 a day because their income is greater than the amount they lose at the gambling table. And they can even afford to lose more than that amount. That's something we won't be able to get past because the differences between us and them are clear so we have to be able to manage our finances, especially the money we use for gambling. But millionaires and billionaires will not gamble too long or too often because they are more busy with their daily work. They only gamble when they have free time and even then, they will not gamble for a long time.

Billionaires definitely have free time, but it will be different from ordinary people. They already have a schedule of activities they can do, and maybe gambling is already on their list of activities. They already have a list of activities so they can immediately move on to another activity when one activity is finished, so they will keep themselves busy with their work and other things.

Of course, their courage has a reason because the financial strength factor is quite good so maybe they don't think twice every time they want to allocate money to anything whether it's to buy expensive items or including gambling, they already have a powerful way of making money so it doesn't seem like too much of a problem for them to spend money at certain times. On the other hand, we are ordinary people or mean those who do not have the financial strength like them, it is a very clear difference and therefore we should not put the same amount of money as them because obviously we will definitely be confused if we lose because we do not have a good way of making money in real life and different from those who already have a way.

$500 may be a small amount for them but for us it is huge and can probably be used for living expenses for a few weeks, for time problems yes they are rich people are that busy and of course this makes sense to say that they don't have much time to gamble or even to just rest. Simply put the rich have a lot of money to gamble but not a lot of time, well whereas we have a lot of time but not enough money, the more time we have the longer we gamble and that can be the starting point of someone's addiction.
1853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: December 07, 2023, 11:20:03 AM


That's completely true, gambling we know is about luck and chances, you need em both, having the skill can only increase your chances of winning, give you some sort of advantage than when you don't have the skill at all even as it doesn't guarantee you of winning. Which makes gambling so unpredictable or should I say very difficult for everyone. And yes Card Games are totally a different case with a different approach, you're playing with a real person and you don't have to depend on someone else's strength or skill to help you win but your own and that's why it's good to be skilled in that aspect.

Most community gamblers believe in luck; that's why many gamble because they think they might get lucky. And there are others who are really lucky, too. And the other rich people gamble and allocate $1,000 up to $2,000 in casino land. But they also won, in truth, when they got lucky.

I also believe that winning is just luck because I have a friend who doesn't often win gambling, but when he wins $500-$1000, it's envious, but I'm not lucky like that.

They think that they will be that lucky or they think that they have such good luck that it makes them even more confident that they will be able to get big wins like everyone else or even surpass others who hit big jackpots. I'm not going to differentiate whether it's the rich who always put what we think is a sizable amount or the people who are of average financial standing who put an average amount, but there's still no difference in terms of luck between the two.

It's all and especially for the results that can make you smile by getting a win always depends on your luck, gambling is just a matter of chance and what can make that chance come true is the push of luck, not the method, strategy or factors of the situation whether you are rich or not. Luck does not always have to get a big win but I think with $500 - $1000 that your friend got it is also big enough, and maybe you are still not lucky, my advice is to keep gambling with the limits you have and don't try to overdo it because you want to win like everyone else, the point is maybe your luck is next time.
1854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: December 07, 2023, 11:00:45 AM
~snip~
Yes it is natural and with that I think it is not strange if they especially beginners in the beginning of their approach most of them will definitely apply such actions, because victory is a situation that they always want and wait for in their gambling involvement. Self-control is good and always the most important thing to apply but on the other hand do you know if a new beginner who just came is still very aggressive in his thinking? I mean usually they still fully believe that it is a place to make money because of misunderstanding from the beginning of the involvement, meaning that makes it quite difficult for them to apply self-control like my experience that I have told you about and maybe they will be able to apply all of that when they have experienced a lot of disappointment like I experienced that it turned out that with greed the final result was even more disappointing.

I don't think that everyone involved in gambling always brings a mindset with the aim of seeking pleasure only because in general gambling is famous for the winning opportunities that are always boasted by people who are lucky enough so that many people get involved with the aim of getting the same fate, but that's not entirely because there are also those who come with common sense and correct understanding. Bad experiences will usually change but it depends on the person too.
You are right in saying that a beginner who comes to gambling is still aggressive in his thinking because maybe they will think that winning gambling games is not difficult. But when they try to gamble again another day, they will find that everything is different from what they experienced when they started gambling. But if they knew what had happened to many gamblers who tried to take gambling too seriously, they would see that many of them had lost a lot. They must immediately realize that their mindset is wrong in believing that gambling is the fastest way to make money because, in gambling, there will definitely be losses, while wins will not appear too often. By changing their mindset to gambling as just a place to get entertainment and have fun, they will not focus too much on making money but just spend their time gambling for fun.

I think there are definitely people involved in gambling who only think about having fun and don't think about winning. And if they have lost in a row, they will not force themselves to recover from their losses. Those who win will also try to cash out the winnings without any desire to continue gambling to get more wins.

Yes because it is the initial stage of their involvement, I think everything is likely to experience the same approach scenario including me also who became a victim of coming with the wrong mindset, it is very bad and I really feel how pressure when defeat always dominates you which makes your financial situation unstable or even destroyed. We as beginners still have a mindset that makes less sense and still have full confidence but in the wrong way and purpose, but it doesn't matter if they start their approach with misunderstandings because this is the initial process and what is certain is that hopefully you or they can fix everything by being able to reach the realization that this activity is really not recommended to produce.

On the other hand for myself honestly I went through a 5 month process to be able to realize myself that gambling should not be done except for entertainment purposes so as not to overdo it. Yes maybe it's true as you say, I also believe that there must still be some people who come to gambling just for fun, and I think most of them are rich people, because I think logically they already have a lot of money and already know how to make money so it doesn't make sense if they make money by depending on luck in gambling.

3 consecutive draws and ending with a defeat in the last match, is something very terrible for Manchester City. I don't see Manchester City as usual in this match, Aston Villa really succeeded in making it difficult for Manchester City so that their game did not develop at all. Instead Aston Villa managed to play well, although only 1 goal they could create in this match, but that was enough to make them win.
It seems like Manchester City are always in trouble when playing without their mainstay midfielders, their lives are really in the midfielders.

I think it is too early to talk about some things, but we would not be wrong if we say that PSG will win the league. I don't think there will be a team that can stop them in the French league, both in terms of squad quality and the squad harmony they have achieved in recent weeks. Monaco will race for second place, but strong rivals await it. Lille is one of them, and those who make fewer mistakes at the end of the year will be at the top.

But this is the most boring guess someone can come up with Cheesy Of course PSG will win the league and if they don't it is nothing short of an embarrassment. So yes theoretically we have to say that it is like close to 100% sure because you can never know for certain, but Monaco and Nice are both not stable enough to compete with PSG over the course of a whole season. Everyone hoping for a new Ligue 1 title winner is doomed to be disappointed.
Yes, it's boring, but the thing is who thinks Paris Siant Germain won't be champions? I think almost everyone agrees with that. I personally don't mind who will be the champion, but I want to see a very competitive competition that can be done by all clubs and at least make Paris Saint Germain's journey not easy to get the championship. We can see now that the points have begun to widen which means, the chance of Paris Saint Germain becoming champions becomes greater. Nice, which is predicted to provide fierce competition, has in fact begun to decline.

However, Girona, who now appears confident unlike last season, is now certain to want to replace Real Madrid. and of course the goal is to become champion this season.
Girona becoming Laliga champions is not impossible, but it will be very difficult because they are competing with teams that can be said to always dominate in this league every season.
Girona failed when they faced Real Madrid even though it was a home match for them, so what about when they face Barcelona, my prediction is that if they can make a surprise in the match by beating Barcelona then that will be enough to lift the confidence of the Girona squad to perform even better when facing other strong teams such as Atletico Madrid, and doubts about Girona will begin to diminish because slowly they can prove that their current position is not the result of luck but excellent teamwork.
A big match like that should be maximized by Girona, there will be many benefits for them besides picking up points, for example it can boost their confidence as you said. They dropped points against Real Madrid and they can't afford to do the same, or in other words they can't afford to lose again. At least they can pick up a point, 1 point in a big game against a club that often dominates can be a win for certain clubs, and that would apply to Girona as well. They still have the same points as Real Madrid, so don't let the gap widen and fall behind.

today we will watch a match that is no less important, namely Damac FC vs Ittihad FC. This match is very important for Ittihad FC to improve their position in the points table, even so Damac is a club that is not easy to beat. In the last 5 matches Damac has not received a defeat and got 2 draws so Ittihad has to be careful in this match because Damac will be playing at home and Damac's home record is quite good. If Ittihad doesn't succeed in stealing these points he will be even further behind.
Al Ittihan still stumbled and repeatedly struggled which in turn affected the results of the matches they played. One of the players they have brought in from Europe is Benzema, he has now scored 9 goals in the 13 games he has played in the SPL, but personally I am not satisfied with how he is playing. He's good but not as good as before, he's missed a lot of chances that could have been goals. I expect him to be at his best in this match, because he is the top scorer in his club at the moment, which means Al Ittihad will rely heavily on him to score.

It's quite dissapoint to see Villarreal match result today because they have failed to beat Maccabi Haifa and playing at their home ground i can see Villarreal is playing with very aggressive because they got plenty of opportunities to scores goals since the first half and we can see it based on their match statistics because Villarreal has 16 total of shots during the match but unfortunately they couldn't even score a single goal in this match and but for the last match in this group also looks interesting because just like i said before Villarreal last opponent for group stages is Rennes so although today Villarreal only playing draw from Maccabi Haifa but their chances is not compeletely closed because if Villarreal can able to beat Rennes then they will finish at first place at the end of group stages
Yes, they could not take advantage of their opportunity to get 3 points in a match that they actually deserved to win. I think they were just unlucky this time, because if you look at the game they had several chances, and even their opponents could not develop the game and could only survive throughout the match.
Fighting for 1 ticket to the round of 16 directly between Rennes and Villarreal will be a very interesting match. In the first meeting Villarreal managed to beat Rennes with a thin score of 1-0, I think Rennes wants to avenge their previous defeat, although actually a draw is enough for them.

It is worrying to see Union Berlin at the bottom of the table, they are the club that has suffered the most defeats with 9 defeats recorded. Last season they were a club that could compete at the top of the table and they were actually very troublesome at the start of the season. But when entering the new season, they lost everything they showed last season. Losing several players is one of the reasons they have declined so much, and at the same time other clubs have improved.
The next match they will host Monchengladbach, I'm not sure they will be able to win.
