A difference of two points sounds very easy, but the wave of injuries hitting Real Madrid makes it difficult for Ancelloti.
I think it's time for Madrid to worry about Girona because Cinderella Story Girona will continue,
and it will be increasingly difficult for Real Madrid during the European run.
Real Madrid needs to sign a good CB quickly in January to continue competing in all competitions.
Nacho and Rüdiger alone are not enough.
Recently in a news I came across tho I've not been able to verify it's authenticity but then it was stated that most of Madrid's injured players will be back soonest, making it look more like a short term stuff which they will recover soonest and be back so the team wouldn't have to suffer for too long but then like I stated earlier I'm yet to verify completely.

In the Case where my speculations are true then I don't think two points difference should be a thing to really worry about with ancellotis squad, it will take them only two matches and they will not only close the gap but will be ahead with some more points. One injured player that will really affect the performance of Madrid will have to be that of Bellingham and this seem like the second time he has suffered injury this season, he is now injury prone and acelloti have to be very strategic using him so as to avoid his absence in vital games in the nearest future.

Football indeed is a game of passion. A passion that drives you to win at all cost and not loss. I come to understand that when it comes to football the roots and foundation of a football team matters. A team that is not built with a strong foundation. In terms of reputation, pattern, performance and strategy may affect the players that will be playing in that team years to come. What am saying in essence is that football may be hereditary. I believe you may or may not gree to the fact that some football clubs have passed down the spirit of not able to win league titles in as much as the current players of that team tries. They always end up bottling the league at the end.
In as much as this point of yours isn't looking true in it's complete sense I will take it with a pinch of salt, by this I mean I agree to your perspective with some resentments, some teams have been unable to win league title in a long while not because of any spiritual or hereditary traits rather obviously every teams management and strategy is very key to getting them results.

There have been cases of teams performing so badly over the years and after the changes of management and other necessary strategies were put in place, they were transformed into a very formidable force, a typical example can be seen in the bundesliga were Leverkusen who were always seen as an average team today are now one of the most formidable Force in the bundesliga and they're others in other leagues aswell, basically it mainly management and strategy, this is my own point of view actually.

Real Madrid has shown a lot of dedication this season and even last season in la liga and champions league, and there was high hope of them winning last season but their focus was on champion’s league and they lost the two leagues and this season is another season. And the only serious team I see in La Liga that can stay on the same point is Girona. The players' experience is also very important, and they will look for possible ways to compromise when there is a challenge. Bellingham's injury will affect the club's performance, but they will look for an alternative to fill in for Bellingham. And Manchester City is not in the best of shape, so it will be even more difficult for them. And the fact that Manchester City is unstable will benefit a lot of clubs. And Barcelona is worst and they won’t even go far they are not in good condition.
Real Madrid this season seem to be putting more effort in the UCL and I see them as potential winners because their performance so far in the champions league is such that they have been able to put up very brilliant performance all through the group stage which seemed much easier than the UCL round of sixteen and in the draws they will be facing Leipzig.

Bellingham's injury bis no doubts definitely going to have some effect on real Madrid performance but then I think it will be very obvious in their la Liga performance than their UCL performance because in the UCL they seem to put in more focus regardless they are still at the top in la Liga tho. Manchester city current draw down is such that Madrid can possibly take advantage of to further make their chances of winning the UCL although Manchester city will wan to defend the title as the most recent champions

Could the Manchester City saga be coming to an end? Manchester had been playing great for a few seasons under Pep Guardiola. They started this season very well, but could not continue. Manchester City is far from the top after losing points in a row. I guess this year won't be their year. I expect a race between Arsenal and Liverpool.
Injury at some point posed some challenges at Manchester city and I think they are currently fixing it and will soon be back with their form just like they were at the beginning of the season, guardiola isn't a coach that will allow any of the present situations to deprive him of winning, he's a very ambitious person and will definitely stop at almost nothing to get something out of this season.

Recently there have been news of Kevin de bruyne retuning from injury so I think that will also be a big boost to Manchester city too because his presence means a lot to the team. Manchester city is currently 4th on the table and five points away from the table top which I feel they can possibly cover up in little time. Arsenal and Liverpool appears to be in a serious marathon to the top and if they are able to continually maintain the form, they are definitely going to be the best contenders for the league title this season.

I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
Casino gambling and in-house gambling seems more addictive than most of the others, I may not have comprehensive report or statistics for proper comparison so as to be able to make some data proving but I'm most certain from my experience and total observation over the years that casinos a nd in-house seem more addictive more and heve gotten even more clients than others.

Casino a d in-house gambling most at team appears very much available and easy to reach, they are operating online 24/7 and offline almost All through the day till late evening, this availability and accessibility also influences the increase in the number of addicted gamblers around the game because they don't have to struggle to participate. With the physical player, the availability of a partner to play with becomes a great limitation and could in a way discourage their addiction and interest in gambling but the casino and the house is always available and ready to take your money provided you avail yourself and the money.

Borussia Dortmund taking on PSV in the UCL round of sixteen is another game actually anticipate the thrill that will be accompanied by this game because both teams are looking like they will be tough on each other, PSV in their domestic league is at the top of the table and are doing so well, they have a very good point difference ahead of the other teams behind them.

PSV is definitely not a weak side as compared to borussia Dortmund, I could consider they a good or fair contender, recalling back to their group stage performance, PSV literally looked like they escaped been relegated to Europa  because they were just a point ahead of lens and four points behind Arsenal leaving them at the second position in their group standings, meanwhile Dortmund finished top of their group with three points ahead winning three matches a d drew two so obviously they are by statistics matching in strength in some ways, so I think by champion league standard they are both average teams. The game is going to be such that we can expect any result been sure of the winner may turn out difficult.

Well what Manchester united are currently facing now is not a new thing at all because most big teams in English premier league have a couple of stories to tell themselves because I can remember vividly the days when Liverpool were also passing through such times and not only Newcastle but arsenal and Chelsea too have had their own fair share of bad and poor days but yet they all found a way out of it and I also think united case wouldn't be any different because I think a saviour will come and lift them out and I believe its just a matter of time factor.
Chelsea is still having Some issues with been consistent with their improvements, actually earlier this season they weren't as good as they are now , when they had series of losses and were struggling to get points , currently I still see Chelsea as still improving an not yet in their very best form for the league this season.

Manchester united will hopefully get better but we aren't certain how long it will take before they will be able to fix all the challenges they are facing at the moment, in as much as this is more like a common phenomenon with big teams in the premier league where they do have times when they experience some down times and later get back on their feet but that of Manchester united seem to have looked like they are doing little or almost nothing about it and the team has suffered this fate for a greater part of this season so far but all Manchester united fans should keep hope alive and expect better days ahead.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: December 19, 2023, 05:55:29 PM
Recently I decided to risk only 1 percent of my gambling portfolio into each bet. This makes my bet risk free as I know that even if I lose the bet i will lose only 1% of my gambling money.

Do you guys also follow a similar strategy like gambling with 1% or 2% on each game? This way not only we are safe from losing big amounts but at the same time, we never find ourselves in a situation where we go all in, in some bet and then have the fear of losing all of our money
This strategy is a really good one and I think is a perfect money management strategy for gambling because if you win you gain more but if you loose your lose only a little because 1% is definitely a little fraction which will be such that can let go in cases of loss. This makes this strategy more efficient and effective for  money management and keeps you longer gambling.

I follow a similar strategy but mine isn't in percentage, rather in ratio. Firstly I make sure to have a budget for my gambling activity for the week or month as the case  maybe so basically I try to stick to that budget and place my bets according such that if I spread my capital across three stakes, loosing two and winning one still keeps me in profit but wining two and loosing one keeps me in bigger profit, I only run loss when I loose all my stakes but then the capital for that day will be exhausted because it's been budgeted how much I will want to spend daily in the week gambling.

Chelsea playing against Newcastle  is definitely going to be an interesting game to watch which I'm very much in anticipation, Newcastle recently have been experiencing some draw back which I think will not put them in the right frame of mind for tonight encounter against Chelsea, I will consider them both as an average team and wouldn't expect much from them.

Earlier at the beginning of the season when Newcastle was in their very good form and we're winning most of their games so well that they had series of wins consecutively, I would anticipate a win against Chelsea but then recently Chelsea has really been very inconsistent and they win certain games you will least expect and aswell loose in games you doubt they would have won aswell so I can't be sure about their performance to night because Newcastle aswell is in their weakest of form but then Chelsea could possibly win or a draw.

Girona FC won the match 3-0 which is really impressive as they scored 2 out of 3 goals via penalty shootouts. But they played very hard throughout the match. Yesterday, Real Madrid overtook them to the number 1 position in the points table, but by winning today's match, they overtook Real Madrid again. their performance is really amazing. Girona is suddenly surprising everyone with a great performance this year. This is a huge achievement for them and they are expected to surprise their fans once again by becoming champions
Girona has got a very solid form and confidence this season and I'm really impressed with their performance so far and must commend the coach and the management team of  girona  as they have really don well with the team, watching their games this season I see the level of confidence with which these guys play and I know they will go far this season.

Real Madrid and atletico Madrid are another two teams I feel will be a problem to Girona in the nearest future if they happen to meet again in the la Liga because they are really tough aswell a d Girona apart from Barcelona have not really met any other tough teams this season so when they will be meeting teams like real Madrid and Atletico Madrid then I can say their strength have been tested and if they win it could be said they have good potential to win the title this season but if they loose then we would hope they maintain a spot around the top four before the season end and probably be playing I'm the UCL by next season.

Man City would play Danish champions Copenhagen a team which I believe is a less formidable opponent thus I don't think it is going to be a difficult match for Man City they two clubs previous meeting ended in favor of Man City they played a goalless draw at Copenhagen while in second leg Man City thrashed them 5-0 at Etihad stadium I think in this round of 16 Man City would have an easy qualifications same with Arsenal who play Porto, however after their qualifications for the quarterfinals then they would likely be drawn against a much more formidable opponent, from my own point of view Man City squad of this season isn't as strong like that of last season thus their chances of retaining the UCL would be very tough and unsure.
Copenhagen in the group stage did take us by surprise with the qualification they were able to get pass the group stage when we leat expected from them because at the beginning of the season, they did appear like they wear a weak team amongst others in the group, they only had Galatasaray as their equal but then it turned out they are now qualified for the round of sixteen.

I believe Manchester city will still win Copenhagen because Manchester city does even better in the champions league and they don't look more superior to Copenhagen both in their team depth and strength so I think unlike the group stage games, Copenhagen is really going to find it difficult in the round of sixteen because the competition here is even more intensive. Arsenal looks like a better team against Porto and I definitely not expect any much from Porto but more from arsenal to win this game because they look more promising with their performance this season.

The problems that occurred between Mbappe and PSG at the start of the season have been resolved after the player agreed to extend his contract as proposed by PSG. Mbappe is a big player, he has to do something to boost his career. Staying with PSG is not a good decision for him, because he can still get trophies with other clubs that he has never been able to get while playing for PSG.
Every time the transfer market opens, rumors of Mbappe leaving PSG always become the main topic. He must take a stand for a better future, stay with PSG or move to another club.
PSG doesn't look like a team that will be winning too many trophies asides the Ligue 1 title because the definitely look like one of the biggest back there in Ligue 1, they are actually the biggest currently and have the best squad in the french league. But than PSG to me doesn't look like a team where a player can stay to ascend the peak of their career.

Mbappes decision to stay back at PSG isn't a good one for his career but then I think he knows what he wants and so let's hope it turns out well for him, he has always dreamed of lifting the UCL but then I don't see that possible at PSG earlier he was so indecisive about his movement from PSG and Real Madrid who were interested in him lost interest due to his decision a d I think that would have been the best place for him to see this dream of his come true and him making it big in his career, I'm hopeful he helps PSG win more trophies and he attains the peak of his career in PSG.

Inter Milan is in its best performance after several clubs such as Napoli seemed difficult to defend last season's title. It seems that this season is Inter Milan's opportunity to win in every match in order to win the Scudetto easily, but Inter Milan is aware that they are still in the shadow of Juventus who  most likely to tackle him in the future, Juventus' performance is highly questionable, Juventus has the potential to be a candidate to win the scudetto this season, even though their concentration is often lost in several important matches, this could be a big threat to Inter Milan this season.
Inter Milan is no doubt in a very good form that is making them looking like the best in Italy this season. I don't think they will drop form anytime soon because they look like they have gat a very big dream to achieve this season, even in the UCL their performance too still remains good and I think they will really go a long way in the UCL this season.

Juventus aswell do have a good potential for the title they have also been performing well after they regained their feet recently, they did started really poorly this season but at a time they started getting back on their feet, they speedily got back to the top of the table and now they are within the top four which they don't like the will be going any lower soon but then I'm hopeful that they win the league title this season a sits been a while since the last won, it's been between Napoli and inter Milan.

Actually, Atalanta's performance was not really good as Bayern Leverkusen in the Europe League even though they were unbeaten in 6 group phase matches, but Atalanta drew in two matches. Difference with Bayern Leverkusen keep won 6 of 6 matches and have 100% winning trend in Europe League with their performance keep consistency in domestic league. Regarding with Bayern Leverkusen performance in domestic league and Europe League no doubt for favoriting Xabi Alonso will have good achievement and potential to be Europe League winning in this season.

For automatically qualified teams in Europe League finish on first standings position waiting the opponent teams on 16th round after playoff round match with teams who finish on 2nd place against relegated teams from Champion League.
I think it will be too high an expectation for Leverkusen to win the bundesliga and Europa this season because they are currently doing well in their performance so far, it's the first time in awhile that Bayern Leverkusen is giving such performance so it's possible they will not be able to get all the trophies from all the league where they are participating.

So far their Europa performance have been really good and enough to think that they would win the Europa league title, as positive as that may seem, it's also possible that they Also don't win the league title by the end of the season, because in football anything is actually possible as football comes with too many probabilities. Xabi alonso has done a great job so far with his team and it will be a great achievement if he ends up with the trophies by the end of the season but then in the Europa ,be should be mindful of other big teams that came from the champions league.

In as much as I love Bayern Munich I wouldn't mind seeing the Leverkusen side lift the bundesliga trophy this season, although both sides have been consistent fighting to retain their place but Bayern Munich have had some issues this season in the domestic league having dropped point severally in this campaign so far which is something they are not really known for, Bayern Munich have been dominant in the German bundesliga for some decades and is surprising to see them perform below their standard but it's also good to see another team emerge to help strengthen the competition so that it won't be league where only one team always win the title.
The dominance of Bayern Munich in the bundesliga over the years have really been the reason most persons want Leverkusen to at some point win the league title if it's very possible for them because that's will definitely drive home so much fun and make the league even more interesting and competitive than it has ever been over the years.

Leverkusen is looking very promising to win the league title this season no doubts and I'm very optimistic it could come to reality that they will win this season but then the point difference between them and Bayern Munich needs to be further widen to further strengthen their Chances of winning the league title by the end of this season, Leverkusen have to make sure they don't further draw games but only win because even the draws isn't helping much for them to get more points and get to the top of the table most probably but then I'm very optimistic since their form isn't bad yet, they're definitely going to get some more points and probably increase the gap well enough.
1916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 19, 2023, 03:05:51 PM
All parties must be responsible for what Manchester United is currently experiencing, especially management. After all, all the team's needs are under their care, and I've seen them change coaches and players but the results are the same. They gave us something good last season, but it didn't last long and this season they are back in decline.
Erik Ten Hag will definitely be the one who will be highlighted first for the decline of Manchester United, because after all he is the closest person to the players and also he has access to communicate with management. It is a risk for a coach if he is criticized a lot.
The management of the team have a very big part to play in the mess the team currently faces and they definitely have to take measures if they hope to see improvement and probably improve their performance before the season ends, they should aswell look into the aspect of changing their coach as at this point it's very likely that it's much needed.

Last see they did much better than they have done so far this season, they were able to qualify for the UCL last season and definitely played this season in the UCL only to end up crashing out so bad that it did looked like they threw away all that they have worked for last season, I also have some doubts they will be able to make it to the top four this season and secure a spot in the UCL and ten hag is a major point of blame for any of the fate that befalls Manchester united this season.

Atlanta has got an opportunity to step up the table with a few points, which I expect them to utilize and go up the league table Atlanta is currently at 8th position with 23 points and Salernitana is at the bottom of the table and are definitely getting relegated if they are unable to get pas that position before the league end which I really keep in doubt.

In the last five game, Salernitana has lost 3 won 1 and drew 1 but still unable to get pass relegation. Atlanta has the same results aswell in their last five games which make it looks like they have matching strength but their point difference still distinguishes them regardless. One thing I'm certain about is Atlanta getting at least a goal in this match, this is because they have in most recent times have to score the opening games in their matches most recently even against Milan who happens to be a stronger team than Salernitana, not only did they win but they did scored the first goal aswell.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 18, 2023, 01:49:19 PM

Real Madrid was just so good against them, they couldn’t show anything at all and the better side just got more goals. Madrid was in total control and went 2 goals up before the end of the first half, Villarreal was able to put one back not too long into second half and we all thought it was game on and we might see a comeback but Madrid showed how determined they were to top the league they were outstanding and the scoreling proves they can do better.

We still need to see the outcome of the game between Girona vs Alaves and see where the outstanding performance puts Real Madrid. If Girona wins they will still retain their first place and Madrid will be second place with 2 points behind Girona.
Girona will be a point ahead of Madrid if they win their game against alaves today, Girona will be playing from home and I think their home advantage is such that they will be able to utilize well enough to get a win considering their recent performance and form, especially the win against Barcelona turned out a good boost for them which I think will definitely help them against alaves.

Real Madrid needs to widen the point gap between them and alaves els they will be risking their chances of been the la Liga title, they will only be hoping on getting the champions league. I doubt if Girona will loose in today's game, because Alaves is an average team and their performance this season isn't that good enough to match the kind of performance Girona has got so I will say alaves may only try to prevent conceding too many goals but I still fear if girona could get such many goals against Barcelona then with alaves it may be a rain of goals.

PSG wasted the opportunity to widen the gap with Nice after only being able to draw 1-1 at Lille headquarters, Lille reply was very painful because it happened towards the end of the match. One mistake made in their defensive area made them lose the three points that were already in front of them. This result does not affect PSG position at the top of the standings, but the loss of two points means they failed to move away from Nice who are in second place.
The result of a football game is very difficult to predict. When fans think their team has won, but they have to be satisfied with seeing their team draw after a small mistake was made towards the end of the match which resulted in their team conceding the goal.
PSG did tried their best yesterday they had dominance over the game and were ahead in possession and attempts but then Lille was just really defensive well enough after conceding a goal as PSG tried to break through but we're unable because probably the defense line was really tougher that they were unable to further penetrate.

Lille as well did their best against a team that is considered big in the Ligue 1, before the match I had taught that PSG, I had taught PSG will be able to win this game so they will be able to further strengthen their position on the table but then it's more likely they may be displaced by Nice if they continually perform with this form. I'm optimistic PSG will get back in form and definitely win the league title because it's easier for them and they have more chances with the Ligue 1 that with the UCL

Bayern Munich is still four points behind Leverkusen after yesterday's victory, Leverkusen was able to still maintain the top position and now with a good point difference but it's still not enough to get relaxed because I think after this win Bayern Munich just got, they may get back on their winning ways and that will mean Leverkusen have to maintain winning to stay ahead.

Leverkusen have got the point advantage while Munich have the goal advantage but in reality the point advantage still stands out because that will be the main determinant for the champions but the goal advantage comes in only when  there's a tie to be broken at the end of the league, the league have already gone halfway but then there's still room for improvement and it's not time yet to keep eyes off guard els at the tail end of the league another team can just come and displace others from their position and top the table to become the champions.
