Last night I was also curious why CR7 didn't play in the match against Al-Duhail. And I immediately looked for news related to this. But it turns out that around 8 hours before the match started, there was a lot of news circulating that CR7 would indeed be absent from the match. Because he was tired and needed rest. And this is quite normal. Because CR7 plays more full time and is rarely replaced. So it's natural that he's tired. Considering his age, he is also 38 years old. So actually it was quite extraordinary to see him still actively playing from the first minute to the end of the match. Because usually players at this age play more with limited time due to stamina problems. But CR7 always has good stamina. So occasionally being absent is a good thing for him. But I really hope to see his game in this match. But fortunately Talisca was able to bring victory well for the club even without CR7.
It is very normal for a football player, even though he is a star player, if he is over 35, his physical condition is not as strong as when he was young and I understand if Ronaldo was not present at the match because he believes Talisca can carry Al Nassr to victory and in fact Al Nassr won with all 3 scores produced by Talisca. and on the one hand, it seems like Ronaldo is more focused on SPL matches than other competitions, so during yesterday match he decided to take a break and not compete.

The reason at Union Berlin is relatively simple. They are no longer a team. They have bought experienced players like Gosens, Bonucci and Volland this season. They were allowed to play immediately. Previously, they had always bought players who were not so well-known or had not played much. They built them up slowly and integrated them into the team. That was their philosophy. But this time everything is different (probably because of the Champions League). It is no longer a unit that has grown.
If all this is just because of the pressure of the UCL match schedule I think its a bit departure because even in the UCL Union Berlin performed very badly since the initial stages started I saw that their performance was not like the previous season and this poor performance a worry for Urs Fischer who serves as the team coach this but there is no improvement whatsoever, in fact it is getting worse.
and if we talk about signings of players brought in by Union Berlin, it does not seem like this is a problem, but I look at it, its either just my own opinion or I really feel the same way Union Berlin always performs well in the first half, but in the second half performance suddenly disappears like nothing there any power.

Only a few hours left before the game between Braga and Real Marid in Group C of the Champions League, there is a piece of bad news for Real Madrid about this match and it seems they still can't use their important and superstar player Jude Bellingham in this match against Braga. However, beating Braga with or without Bellingham because Braga is not a strong team but they probably can't use Bellingham.
Real Madrid relied on Bellingham and this played got injured, that's what I was saying even a few weeks ago. They really need to find a forward during the winter.

-snip img
for me, Bellingham injury is not too serious because the injury he suffered is in his shoulder, not his leg, and I think if he forces him to appear, Ancelotti is worried that it will get worse, but on the one hand, Bellingham is currently playing an important role at Real Madrid or maybe according to my predictions, if Bellingham cannot appear in today match against Braga, it looks like Bellingham position will be replaced by Vinicius and Vinic position will be filled by Joselu.
If indeed Bellingham has to rest, it seems there will be no problem as long as Joselu will replace this player because Joselu has very good talent to be in Vinic position, even when Vinic is injured, Joselu is able to replace his position with quite good quality.

The fact that the match will be played in Madrid also strengthens Real Madrid's hand. They will definitely want to win this match to get out of the group. It is lucky for them that Bellingham's injury is not serious. Still, Ancelotti will know whether they will risk it or not.
Real Madrid advantage comes when playing at home even though Bellingham is injured but his injury is not serious and I think in today match it will be against Braga, Bellingham can appear in the match and if some people are still discussing about the draw against Rayo its not a big problem because it will have nothing to do with the performance in the UCL later because Ancelotti deliberately gave instructions to his team not to appear too strong in the previous match in order to maintain the quality of performance in the UCL later.

Lewandowski's performance has been dropping so hard since he was the only striker to rely with. This is the main problem owned by barcelona. Im still also questioning why this club was taking more midfielders instead of striker.
Many people aware if lewandowski is the only striker in this club at this moment. Missing him meant there's no striker in the club. Xavi can only push felix to play in that position which was not suitable for him.
what I actually see that Xavi not only gives encouragement to Lewandowski, but also plays an important role like Felix and Gundogan, he is also one of the players who can be relied on. Its just that these two players cannot have the same talent as Lewandowski, so when Lewandowski performance declines due to age and injury previously Felix and Gundogan could not replace the striker appearance so Xavi should have given slightly harsh direction to provide this understanding to Felix and Gundogan so that if striker was not well there was another player who could replace his role like Real Madrid does not have a striker but Bellingham can be striker role.

defeat in UCL when we played against Shakhtar made us a little disappointed with just very close score, even though I actually hoped it would at least end a draw.

In addition, in my opinion, gambling should be at a relaxed time or moment so that we are also calm when playing, in my opinion, if gambling at leisure time such as recess it will actually be uncomfortable because with limited time it can also make us not calm when playing. If they do gambling during work breaks, I think it will only bring problems to themselves which is certainly a big risk that will have an impact on their work and themselves. After all, I myself also only gamble on weekends, it seems uncomfortable to play with limited time because it's true what you said about the sense of haste, and it will make the game uncomfortable, unlike playing in free time, you can enjoy it even though the end result is losing hahaha lol.
Playing gambling requires a relaxed atmosphere so that we are not disturbed by other activities and if we lose, it will not interfere with other activities. And it's best not to gamble while working so that no one is disturbed by gambling activities so that we can also be comfortable gambling. Whatever the result, we can accept it well because we are aware that gambling can result in loss, so we can only accept it. Getting a win is just a bonus so we don't need to chase the win.
In conclusion, gambling is a place of entertainment to have fun while work or work is something serious. so it is impossible for us to combine these two scenarios even though the concepts are different.

maybe someone has already answered my explanation above and we always often repeat what we talked about before, but we always remind other people that there is no harm because it is highly discouraged to gamble at work and this is not about comfort or winning, but this is about our professionalism as Employees must obey work rules and we dont need to force them to gamble while they are working because they have their own time for gambling.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: November 07, 2023, 06:44:39 PM
If they're playing with friends, it's best to maintain boundaries so they know when to stop. They also can't compare the capital they have with their friends' capital, especially since friends bring a lot of money to gamble while we only bring a little money.
that what sometimes makes ordinary gamblers become addicted just because they compare themselves with other friends in terms of the amount of their budget or more precisely, its like prestige if they only use a small budget while other friends bring large budgets and finally the gambler has to increase his budget in various ways and the most common way is just to borrow money from other friends or other parties.

well, this is the mistake of an ordinary gambler just because of pride he is willing to look for a loan just to equalize his capital with other friends to cover up his shame and while he forgets that gambling is not for who has the most money who has the smallest money but gambling is just for fun and ends If he loses he loses all his money and on the one hand he has to return the money he has borrowed and this is where the bad things start and it becomes an addiction.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 07, 2023, 03:53:15 PM
The strategy of funding accounts on multiple bookmakers is known to be used by people that want to catch the best odds when betting on sports for example. Sometimes people will monitor multiple platforms and bet when the odds allow then for a safe win. However, I am not sure if this strategy would be worth attempting when doing crypto-based betting on the sports books that offer it.

What are your thoughts on this? When you bet with crypto do you find it easier or harder to fund multiple accounts? Because I am getting a sense that crypto bettors are more compelled to shop around a lot more, but only until they find a bookmakers that fits their needs, and then they will hardly move any funds to other platforms. Surely thete must be some reasons behind this or even some very different takes. What are your thoughts? 
I understand the OP discussion as being about an arbitrage strategy by creating multiple accounts on several platforms to bet a specified amount to get a guaranteed win.

maybe there are a small number who do this but I will never do this because this strategy will be a bit difficult, waste of time, have to fund the entire account and analyze the odds and many more which will waste time. I admit that maybe I have several accounts on other platforms but that does not mean I use this strategy, its just that when I get bored with the game on one platform I will move to another platform to get a new sensation.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You on: November 07, 2023, 03:32:13 PM
It all depends on each new gambler mindset and goals.
I mean if we talk about negative impacts as you said, it can give fear to novice gamblers, it depends on the thinking of the novice gambler because from history I have seen novice gamblers who come to gambling with the mindset of wanting to double their money, they will always ignore the impact. negatives of gambling, but if a novice gambler comes to gambling just to try to play the game he wants and then hears bad news about the negative impacts of gambling, he will definitely understand and will feel afraid and may decide to stay away from gambling.

everything you say may be right or wrong because everything still depends on the thoughts of each gambler who always has a different view.

Yes, that is a very useful story for those who want to reduce their gambling or even cure their gambling addiction. And it is difficult to admit to his gambling addiction, especially if he has destroyed his family's life and made everything a mess. But he can do well and can get his life back. We must salute him because he is someone who has succeeded in curing his gambling addiction among the many people who have not succeeded in recovering from their gambling addiction. And he has been able to get a job that can divert his attention from gambling because as a taxi driver, he needs to focus on the road so he can't work while gambling. It was good for him because he didn't gamble and could abandon his old habits.
it is difficult to find a gambling addict who has destroyed his own life and the life of his family and after that he was able to get up to stay away from gambling and improve his life and if we can find an addict like the one described above he needs to be appreciated because he is one of the great people because he was able to defeating himself or defeating his desires in order to live a healthier life.

It is very rare for a gambling addict who is very serious to recover by himself without the help of other people and usually ends tragically, but he is able to realize his commitment to stop being addicted and fight the urge to gamble and choose to become a private driver/taxi driver.

That's one of the reason if the winner can't contain their excitements, they didn't think properly because the only thing that matters to them is the reality that they won and the feeling of being obligated to share or to give some parts of the prizes to others, which is somehow acceptable but It should be distributed fairly. Having a poor financial decision and actions will lead you to some thing that you might regret in the future so it's better to have a smart plan when Huge amount of money involves.
winning a large amount of money from the lottery and sharing a small portion with other people is very normal and indeed sometimes a person form of happiness is different, but if you decide to share money with anyone, it is better to plan and adjust it fairly and on the one hand, try not to let people dont know how much money you win because it will have a bad impact and if you have given a small portion to someone else, still think about opening your own business with the winnings so you dont regret it when the money runs out. because from my experience, money that is obtained instantly or usually will run out very quickly without realizing that suddenly the money has run out and I regret not buying something valuable.

Its a good idea to take advantage of big wins to run your own business to earn sustainable income so you dont have any regrets.

What advice do you have for newcomers diving into the world of crypto gambling? Any lessons you learned the hard way that you'd like to share?
there is no other advice other than just gamble healthily using money you can afford to lose and always keep in mind that gambling is just entertainment.

and if you ask about crypto gambling which you think can make money, its the same as fiat gambling or offline gambling, there are no lessons whatsoever for making money from any type of gambling. you only need to register, make a deposit and bet.

Honestly, I thought the match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund was going to be close. I had a feeling that Bayern Munich was going to win this match anyway. But I thought the match was going to be a lot closer. I expected the final score to be one – zero or something like that. But the performance from Dortmund was really bad. The final score was 4–0 in favour of Bayern Munich. They were able to break the deadlock in the fourth minute of the match, and then never looked back from that moment.
The match is quite tough if we look at the stats of total shot attempts. Dortmund made 15 shot attempts, Bayern Munich made 14 shot attempts. But Bayern Munich played more effectively, they made 8 shots on target, meanwhile Dortmund only made 1 shot on target. From this matter, we can see that Dortmund attackers played not effectively, Bayern Munich attackers played better. Well, the score is quite surprising, Bayern could score 4 goals but Dortmund failed to score a single goal. From this match, we can assume Dortmund will be out of the race of the title. And Bayern Munich is still the strong candidate to win the title this season.
from my point of view, in the match at that time both teams competed competitively and competed carefully and I saw that the two teams were almost similar in performance when competing and tried to shoot the ball several times, but Bayern Munich was superior and more precise when shooting ball towards the Dortmund goal because Munich attacking line players are more willing to take risks to try to push the Dortmund defense line on one side Kane position is always empty without strong obstruction from the Dortmund defense players so this is actually just about the player strategy and the talent that the player has and when talking regarding the candidate to hold the Bundesliga title, Bayern Munich will remain strong candidate for leadership in the Bundesliga.

Girona feels like it's living a dream right now. Leicester won the Premier League title, why shouldn't something similar happen in La Liga? Girona is an important team and if they win the championship, there is a possibility that we will see important players of the team in important teams in Europe next year. Even this possible outcome is enough to motivate the players.
quite a reasonable statement and in fact Girona does have the opportunity to win the title in La Liga to eliminate the boredom when every season you only see Barcelona or Real Madrid leading at the top of the standings and I cannot deny that Girona can reach the top of the standings with good performance. quite consistent because Girona does not have scheduled matches in other competitions unlike Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who currently have to focus on several competitions and this opportunity is utilized very well by Girona and it is very surprising after the return of this team in the season 2017/2018 is only this season which is able to provide extraordinary achievements.

NIce continued their unbeaten run by winning this week's match at home to Rennes. The game was evenly matched, but Nice played more effectively and they were able to create goals from the chances they created. While Rennes several times they tried to create goals but could still be stopped by the defense built by Nice.
It's amazing what Nice have achieved so far, because they can consistently win points from every match they play. They are the only unbeaten club so far, they also have a solid defense, it's just that their shortcomings are on the front lines that still cannot be more productive in creating goals.

My expectations for this team were never high, as I didn't anticipate them playing as well as more established clubs. It's so fantastic to see how nice is keep consistently winning the game. The competition becoming tougher than before has automatically created pressure for PSG to step up their game and perform at a higher level.
The amount of dedication and effort that Enrique is putting into pushing his team to improve is truly commendable, and it appears that his efforts are finally yielding positive results. The performance from PSG is quite better even without mbappe. This is a huge progress being made by enrique at this moment.
this is what makes me interested in always visiting League 1 because in every season in League 1 there are always teams that challenge the big teams and not just certain teams. several teams in League 1 take turns performing quite well in each season so I dont get bored to always watch every match and you can see from the standings in previous seasons, even though PSG is at the top of the standings, there are always other teams who will be challengers and take turns.

regarding PSG performance, I dont really doubt it, but I find it a little difficult to accept that without Mbappe, Enrique can rely on other players and you can see for yourself from several matches that the score is always scored through Mbappe and when this player is not present at the match with PSG, this team cannot bring it home victory.

after I understand several times from the contents of this thread it seems only about paying an anti ad subscription to exclude myself from gambling advertisements via social media and for me there is no need to pay just to stop gambling like when I try to buy a new phone and I use it as usual but without access related to gambling and I have never seen gambling advertisements on social media that are on my new phone. so paying social media to stop advertising is very ridiculous to me and there are many other ways to stop advertising on your social media accounts.

and related to gambling disorders or such as the negative impact of becoming addicted, actually it depends on each gambler, even if they pay weekly or monthly to stop gambling advertisements, but in the gambler mind they still have the desire to gamble, its the same as just throwing away money. so it all comes back to each gambler.

Benzema and Hamdallah must return to their best forms as soon as possible to help their club.
Don't expect so much from players like Kareem Benzema players like this has lost the hunger to win that's why they have chosen money over passion at this late stage of their footballing career, I actually love to see an unknown league grow but the way Saudi Arabia league is going about it they aren't looking at the long run, they need to work also on their academy to see that they don't have an improved league for few seasons but for a longer time.

It's not that Karim has lost his thirst for winning, he just realises that his time has come and it's better to leave for this league and still get good money. Moreover, I don't agree that Saudi Arabia is not developing their league properly. Some young stars have already moved there and more will be coming, so I think they are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly
when a player can score big scores from several matches everyone will say that player is very great but if a player cannot score big numbers everyone says he is a weak player or he is beyond hope etc. Roll Eyes

Its really funny to see people criticizing people who only give criticism without seeing the truth and if we look at it logically, players like Ronaldo can perform very well because they get support from their teammates and what is really visible is Talisca and Mane who always provide quite good support for Ronaldo score bigger as if this player has a very good partner in the attack line.

this can be done by Ittihad if he wants Benzema to be stronger because I still see that Benzema still has quite a strong performance, its just that right now he needs support from his teammates and also needs a partner in the attack line to get the right chemistry.

Ac Milan will be facing the team they lost to in their last encounter in the group stage, talking about PSG. I can see the energy the home team will bring to this game and it might affect the performance of the visitors that's if Ac Milan will make use of the chanting of the home fans against the visitors. It won't be like they played out last time and I see Ac Milan causing much damage than PSG in tonight's battle.
The group stage is already fired up, if Ac Milan manage to get a win tonight they will occupy the 3rd position only if Dortmund lose to Newcastle, at least staying at 3rd would give the Italians hope in playing the next game, just wish them luck.
PSG is currently improving its performance while AC MIlan is still inconsistent with its performance in every match. I think this is a difficult job for AC Milan, especially since they have to win if they want to have a chance of qualifying from the group phase.
Maybe AC Milan will benefit a little because this match will be played at AC Milan's home ground, with the support of their sportsmen giving them more hope, but I wouldn't dare bet on Milan winning this match, it's quite risky.

In Dortmund's other match, they will face Newcastle, this is more interesting, will Newcastle be able to get their revenge?
I think it's very possible, both teams have very balanced strengths, so it's possible for anything to happen.
speculating and predicting the match in Group F might be a bit interesting because PSG, Dortmund and Newcastle are still putting pressure on each other but not for Milan because I am pretty sure Milan will likely fail in this round.

for PSG who will play away against Milan there will only be 2 possibilities between PSG winning or drawing and for me the chance of Milan winning is a little difficult.

and for Dortmund, who will host Newcastle, it looks like this will be an interesting match because when Newcastle competed at home, Dortmund could actually be defeated through a goal scored Felix Nmecha and Dortmund should also be able to win in the upcoming match on the one hand being the host has a great opportunity but if there is a surprise Newcastle can get revenge by winning, I think this is ridiculous.

Yes, I agree with your point of view. MU was too risky to bring in young players. Instead, they brought in quality, experienced players, probably made the team better.
What Mason Mount has done so far at MU is just 1 assist. He was not even coach Ten Hag's top priority for a place in the first team in recent matches. Perhaps wearing the number 7 shirt put Mount under more pressure, and things did not go smoothly. Currently, Mount still has a contract with MU until 2028. It seems like MU himself carried this "bomb" on himself.
In the case of the bad things that happen to Man United, I not blame anyone because this is just about the line up of players which is less than perfect and if Ten Hag is able to bring in experienced players with good enough quality, it will definitely be a little easier to make positive changes to this team, whereas now if you look at it from the very complicated line up of MU players, some players dont work well and there are players who have conflicts, etc.
so, in the future transfer, Ten Hag must really be able to get the right players because this concerns MU future and if they fail to bring in experienced players, perhaps Man United will have to lose their good name a little.

Juventus continues to stick to Inter Milan, which is one rank above, the two top Serie A teams are only separated by two points. Juventus continues to try to climb to the top of the standings with its consistent performance, but Inter Milan is also able to maintain its position by winning in the last three matches. The opportunity for Juventus to reach first place in the standings is very big, they are not busy with other matches apart from the domestic league. There are many factors that provide advantages for Juventus, their competition schedule is not too busy, making Juventus players able to maintain their physical fitness well.
this is what I said before that it is very likely that Juventus will get the series A title this season, taking its glory days like before when they did not have a schedule in other competitions, while Inter has to divide the quality of their players in several competitions and this really affects Inter performance because of course Inzaghi will continue to prioritize match in the UCL because the title in this competition is very valuable for Inter and even though Juventus does not have star players in it, in terms of consistency, Juventus is very stable and Juventus efforts will put a little pressure on Inter to maintain the top of the standings.
