I think Leverkusen is in its best season in history. They swept all matches in the Bundesliga with a win, no draws or losses. In the UEFA European League they also performed impressively with 6 wins from 6 matches. For me, this was a very surprising result and I immediately placed Leverkusen as the favorite to win the league and UEFA champions. Even though there are English and Italian league teams, I think Leverkusen's performance has been crazy this season.
Leverkusen so far currently have two draws in their bundesliga records, they have actually done really well as you rightly said and I think they are the only team across Europe this season who has not been beaten yet by any team so far so it will be fine to say they are in their best season so far, to think of the fact that the season has gone half with no loss at all across all leagues.

Thay are the only team in the Europa who got all three points from all games all through the group stage and didn't loose or draw a single game, what an incredible performance, I think in a very long time across Europe no team has been able to stay in beaten this long across all the leagues where they are participating.their current form if really maintained and they stay consistent, I have no doubts they will be able to win the league title by the end of the season, I'm not even going to compare Liverpool with Leverkusen at this point because they are yet to have such record and form this season.

Currently bookies are showing Bayern Munich as a bigger favourite than Real Madrid for the Champions League title. However I'm thinking exactly the opposite here. It seems like they are missing an important point while determining the biggest favourites of the title. They are overlooking the fact that Real Madrid have won this title the most and by far compared to their latest competitor in this.

In addition Real Madrid became champions here 5 times in the last 10 seasons. Isn't this record worth being shown as the second biggest favourite at least? 

I can understand them about making Manchester City the biggest favourite. It is obvious that they are the strongest team in the competition right now.
I think Bayern Munich has less of experience enough to be considered the favourite to win the champions league but Real Madrid is even much more experienced and have got what it takes to be able to win the league again as they have won it three times in a row so their probability for me is much higher that others.

Bayern Munich is a good team no doubts, they have aswell have a very good squad depth and even strength and so does Manchester city and Real Madrid so I wouldn't agree with the idea that Manchester city is currently the strongest team. They may have performed so well at the group stage and lost no game at the group stage but I still think at this round of sixteen more of the abilities and capacity of each team will be further reveled so I'm been careful to not be too assertive with the abilities of these teams. But personal I think the winners of the UCL lays between Manchester city and Real Madrid.

Manchester United this season do always have good performance against big teams, that is why I expected them to get at least a point in this match just as they did against Chelsea and luckily it worked because as an Arsenal fan I am happy with the outcome of the result because Arsenal has now gone back to the top of the Premier League table with one point difference. Now only match between Arsenal and Liverpool at Anfield will determine their respective position but I will also expect a draw in the match since Arsenal and Liverpool will not always wants to lose.
Manchester united did had an average performance today probably because they have left the champion's league and were also unable to make it to the Europa so they are giving their very best to at least finish top four so they can get an appearance in next seasons UCL. Onana did made some good saves today that did appear a bit impressive.

I agree with you that Manchester united have most often showed this level of resistance with bigger teams trying to make sure they steal a point from them but if they meet average teams they tend to just be complacent and loose in some cases. Arsenal getting back to the top of the table is a good one for them but they must not lay down their guards as they are just one point away from the team at second position which means with a win Liverpool could be back at the top of the table again but I think Arsenal is beginning to have a better chance at the league title than with others on the table.

If gambling have been good on you, then why the thought coming for quiting, most of us don't want to receive the consequence of the wrongs we've made about the way we have been gambling, if we had been gambling that responsible enough, there's no how we can come about with the thought of quiting from it when we know it's a source of joy to us, but when the way we appear with gambling is not an ideal or a welcoming one, we have most of the things we don't want in gambling and these are the reasons why we may also want to quit.
I agree with the fact that most persons do not want to get the consequences of gambling or better still we could say they don't want the consequences that looks wrong rather they wan to continually build castle's with their minds by thinking that they will recover some day and will still be in profit regardless of the losses they have suffered so far.

Lack of responsible gambling have been the major reason most persons have been unable to maintain good and healthy gambling habits which have led to their decisions of wanting to quit at some point in time. Because there's no way you will be gambling responsibly and staying profitable gambling and still wan to quit, its only when it turns out that you have stayed irresponsible with you habits and the adverse effects is come upon you then you will think of quitting to further prevent further losses.

Just like you have explained, it all depends on how we want to go about the career of making gambling like a job. It is good to for us to make sure that we make critical thinking before we take a decision of going into gambling as a full career. Apart from having gambling as a full career, we also need to have other means of income that is different from gambling. This would have us to stay strong in case we don't have full or keep losing due to bad luck. Depending on gambling profits can be a disaster if we don't keep making consistent profits everytime.
Its very much okay to get involved in gambling for the purpose of making money and even at some point it's also okay to take it professional if you feel any any point you have got the necessary skills and you feel you are aswell lucky enough and can be strategic with your plans on how well you will be able to get your gambling career to be a profitable one.

Buy then it's also very much important aswell to bear in mind the possible associated risk that can be associated with making gambling your profession it will be much more ideal like you did stated that one should have a second career of another job that the person does along side and not to be totally dependent on gambling to be their means and source of income as it can turn our really disappointing some days which can cause ruine if it fails and total dependence was on the profit and outcome of the gambling.

That grandfather is a devil in a human body, he no longer cares about his daughter or granddaughter, people who dare to hurt their family members just for gambling are people who are no longer worthy of being in the family, they should be exiled in prison, I can't imagine how scared the mother was when she heard about the kidnapping and she was even more shocked when she found out that the perpetrator was her own father, gambling addicts are people who must be cured but if they go too far, they must be in prison.
When gambling addicts have to go this far to sponsor or further fund their gambling activity, its time they hare handed over to the law so that they will be subjected to certain level of correction that will cause them to desist from such act before further applying therapy because if this is handled with therapy alone they may not succeed as much.

It's really terrible how people will have to go this far to making sure they get to be able to fund their gambling habit and keep hoping to win. Somehow these people do have what looks like good intentions of what to do if they actually turn out Lucky to win buy then they really go about it so wrongly that it becomes a problem to the family and themselves aswell so when it gets to this point they definitely need help and any attempt to resist the help, it's important it should be forced on them.

Keeping close range on Nice and PSG this current season, one of these teams will eventually be crowned Champs of Ligue One because they did better than any othe club. Consistent performance will heightened the performance of a competitive club in Ligue One. PSG improves and they're sitting first spot on the table while Nice did better but couldn't reduce the level of flopping and decline in performance this season. Nice did better in the early starts but couldn't maintain the high level performance against their oppositions.
Nice is really dropping points such that it is looking like they are not going to be in the race of winning the league title buy then I'm very hopeful that they may improve by subsequent game and probably cover up for the points lost so far so as to keep them in the race of winning the title buy then PSG and Nice remains the favourite to likely win the trophy.

PSG on the other hand has been showing too many inconsistency sometimes but then I think they have gay most of their focus on the champions league because they are very much experienced with the Ligue 1 so they always know their way around it to continually maintain a good position such that they will be able still get back on track and probably win the league title once again but with the UCL they have always got to be on their toes as the competition there is way different from that which they have in the Ligue 1.
1949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 17, 2023, 04:04:27 PM

Napoli is still looking for its lost identity, even last season Napoli was really strong in several big clubs that Napoli faced as if they were helpless against Napoli. We saw that there was no fighting spirit like last season which was still under the auspices of Luciano Spalletti, when Luciano Spalletti decided to interning for the Italian national team squad actually changed coaches in the Napoli camp, and that's when Napoli became a soft club that didn't have the enthusiasm to win and forgot how to win every match they played in...
Napoli still remains one big name in the Italian league regardless of their recent set back of they are still performing a little above average regardless of the challenges, they have won a few games, in their last five games they were able to win two and lost the other three which were obviously due to absence of a few key players.

I don't think we should start blaming the changing of coach on the recent performance of Napoli because the immediate past coach wasn't doing we and the current have to take over from there where the past Coach dis stopped and see how well he can fix the team and so far he has been trying so I think basically more time should be given ro him and let's see how well he will further do probably before the season ends, mostly likely Napoli will get back strong again buy I doubt if they will be able to win the league title by the end of the season.

Klon and fribug ended the first half of their game in a goalless draw and they are already few minutes into the second half of the game already, some how it's really not looking normal that klon which is just a point away from relegation, more like they got out of relegation few weeks back is given an average team as fribug such a hard time making good attempt for a goal.

Klon according to statistics have a better ball possession than fribug buy fribug is ahead with more attempts and shots on target, I'm hoping to see a better performance of superiority with friburg by the end of the second half of the game, so far they are already passed 50th minutes of the game. Bayern Munich will be facing stuttgart layer today and I hope to see the thrill that will come with that game and ofcos I wan to see Bayern Munich put up a better performance than that which they had recently but if the allow stuttgart win then trust me it will be even interesting.

We have only two potentials, we're not counting any other club that doesn't belong to the tournament this season, I'm pretty sure they won't even stand the power and match pressure from Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool this season. The europa league will be interesting this season, I'm curious to watch the club that will lift the Europa trophy this season. Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the only clubs that have great potentials, there's absolutely nothing to drag about the club because everything will fall out to normal after these clubs loses matches.
I agree that Leverkusen and Liverpool have great potential in lifting the trophy by the end of the season but currently I'm nursing some doubts with Liverpool and I definitely not wan to underestimate other teams who are already in the Europa currently, especially those who just joined from the UCL because underestimating them can be detrimental.

AC Milan isn't a weak team at all and failing to qualify for the UCL round of sixteen isn't enough to see them as such so I think they will become a little problem to Liverpool especially, Leverkusen still maintains a good form that can at this point challenge any team in the Europa comfortably and probably get a win buy AC Milan and Liverpool will as well be a hitch to them, except for the recent inconsistency with Liverpool I think it will be very fine to see these three teams as the potential contenders for the Europa league title this season.

Spain became the country that qualified the most teams to the knockout phase. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad they all won the group. Only Sevilla failed to qualify. While for Germany and Italy only 3 each then England 2. Of course with the condition of Niki the chances of Spanish clubs winning the UCL this season are quite large, but there are many strong teams in this knockout phase. I'm waiting for the knockout phase draw, hopefully there will be a game with a League team or a final too early.
The Spanish reams this season did took the champions league really serious and it's really interesting that except for one team, they all made it to the round of sixteen which shows how well they have performed so far because they had some tough team in the group stage and were able to win them and made it pass the group stage.

This has made the chances of a Spanish team winning the champions league even much bigger than usual because they have most of their teams already made it passed the group stage, England has a smaller chance with only two teams who are currently struggling in their domestic league to win matches, although some of the Spanish teams like Real socidad isn't really good at their domestic league aswell but in the UCL they try to do way better than they would in the domestic league recently, I'm hopping by the time the draws for the round of sixteen is out they should all be ready to play well for the trophy.

The first half of the game just ended goalless and going by the statistics, Arsenal is dominating in every round of the game and their performance so far shows that they are very likely to win this game buy it just continually looked like there's a strong defensive resistance at the defense line of Brighton thst Arsenal is finding difficult to get pass.

Westham Is leading by two goals already by the end of the first half while Brentford is leading by a goal aswell, I was expecting a different result buy it turns out that the results are not as my expectations, its already few minutes into the second half of the game between Arsenal and Brighton and I'm hope to see better performance and results from the gunners unlike the first half that ended goalless. I wish the gunners win and I'm Also expecting a comeback from Aaron villa in the second half of this game.

Arsenal host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates today, looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Aston Villa last weekend that saw them relinquish their brief hold on the top spot in the Premier League table. The visitors sit 8th on 26 points, the host sit 2nd on 36 points. It will really be a match flooded with goals and this match might likely end in a draw. Mike arteta will be without some key players like Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Fabio Vieira for today’s match, all of whom are out for some periods of weeks.
Arsenal have a better advantage and chance of winning but they should expect a tight game against Brighton, in their last five games, Arsenal have lost only one game so far and have won all the other four games which kept them at the second position on the table, with 37 points just same as Liverpool who is at the top of the table with same point buy there's a good goal difference.

Ita the first half of the match already and Arsenal is showing some dominance rho it's just some few minutes so far, I think there will be some goals in tha first half of the game because they have good pressure and Arsenal is showing some good confidence buy Brighton is yet to fully show their potential buy trying to attain some stability with the game so far, I'm hoping bro see the gunners win are the end of this game, moreover they are at home and they happen to be the favourite in this game.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 16, 2023, 11:02:35 PM
I never knew Barcelona would be finding it very hard to get a goal in this encounter against Valencia and it seems like Barcelona are gradually getting weak by the day. I don't see them having that force to make teams pay, like making them lose possession of the ball.
The second half shouldn't end like the first half did, I believe that Valencia would be pleased with the result if they have to end the game in a draw. At this point Xavi needs to make some changes to make the team start getting goals in all games because if you noticed in the champions league they (Barcelona) didn't play like they used to, even the game before the champions league game against the league leaders Girona, they couldn't keep up with the pressure that was on them.
I won't say Barcelona would win but if that happens, they need to go and come back with a better plan in their next game.
Recently Barcelona has really dropped form and are not playing like they used to, they now play like a team struggling to secure a spot in the la Liga but I expected much more than this from them because before now they had a better form and did perfomed even better in the la Liga at the beginning of the season so much was actually expected of them.

Loosing and drawing to average teams which are considered leaser in strength and depth to Barcelona has become a norm in recent times, and it's really sad that when they lose it's usually with a great margin and when they draw it's just with a goal, I wouldn't want to at this time blame xavi but would rather give more of the blame to the management of the team because xavi at this point doesn't ha e the desired players he wish to work with to get the desired results they expect of him so I think fixing the financial lapsis of the team should be priority so they can get out of this mess by making effective use of the January transfer window this summer.

Osimhen is a very, very good player. Today, thanks to him, he opened the goal. Napoli scored a super header in the 68th minute. Osimhen needs to play in a much higher level team. I think this will happen next season. He may be in the EPL, in fact, he is a player of that league. We can't say enough about Napoli's second goal. How Osimhen got that ball out of there, he did it in a very classy way, whatever he did, then Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored with a superb shot, it was a solid win for Napoli.
This happen to be the second victory Napoli is recording in their last five games. It's very true that osimhen is a key and vital player im the Napoli team even if the team has not in most times given that recognition in a bid not to look like they are turning so much dependent on him but then it turns out that most he becomes the saviour of the team.

Personally I think it's high time osimhen leaves Napoli to a better team where he will be better appreciated and will help him get to the height of his career because Napoli is gradually turning into a mediocre team, it's obvious in the absence of osimhen their performance is always having some draw back, a typical example is in today's games, it was after his opening goal their morale came up and they began to further score more goals which gave them the lead and ended the game in a victory and I'm sure if he leaves the team it's going to affect the team a lot for a while but then he should leave he deserves better.

A draw for Dortmund wasn't a good result for their current status as they were supposed to win that game and probably cover up for the spacy which they have give recently, they are currently far away from the top of the table and a bit far away from the top four position aswell so this was an opportunity for them to close the gap a little.

It seemed like Dortmund had a bad day because all through the game they were on the domineering side and yet we're unable to win at the end of the day, rather they were mostly just giving dangerous attempts. Augsburg did tried with the kind of resistance they did put up to stop every attempts Dortmund was making they were even leading with a goal ahead before Dortmund later got an equalizer which brought the game to a draw and made them shared points equally, I think Augsburg did made sure they didn't loose probably because they were playing at home and it really looks embarrassing Lossing at home.

Yes, Nice defeat was quite worse result because they couldn't maintain their good record in conceding of goals. Francesco Farioli as head coach will not be happy with this result, because with this defeat maybe Nice weakness are now exposed. Of course PSG will be very comfortable in the top position, because their two competitors are not get a good results. But in my opinion if both team Nice and Monaco win this week, PSG will always be ready to stay away.
I personally was really surprised and disappointed at the results of this game between Nice and Le Havre. Nice this season has been in a very good and somehow excellent form such that they topped the league table at a time and I least expected they will loose to Le Havrein this match, not only did they lose but with a good margin which showed a clear defeat.

Le Havre did performed well even with the red card they had they were able to win and I must say their home advantage was such they they did used well enough and it did turned out I'm their favour so I would say it was a deserving win for Le Havre, if Nice continues I'm this form they will further drop points and will not make it any longer to the top four, they have dropped some point already by this match and I think from this match it showed that they have some defensive challenge which they have to fix if they must be able to reduce further conceding of goals in their subsequent fixtures in the Ligue 1 games this season.

Don't be deceived, not every gamblers who actually claims that they won really won.
Some falsefully speculates that they won just because they want to pave an ease to those who has been advising them to quit or limits gambling simply because the gambler has been unlucky to win instead he keep betting over and over without a good bankroll management in their gambling carriers.
They basically do this because they feels disturbed and inconveniences of the people's opinions and advices towards the gamblers unprofitable gambling experiences
It's really true that some gamblers don't actually win as they did claim but they do post what they have faked because they probably wan to get some attention of some target audience in the public space probably because they are influencers for a particular bet brand and are promoting the brand so they put up such post to get attention of people to the platform.

It's also true some too do all this to prevent certain attention which probably suggest they should quit gambling so in oder to make it feel like they are not at disadvantage, they just put up such false wins so they think they are profitable but then in the long run it's all self sabotaging because deep down you know how bad you are doing at gambling and this will not help you get any better but when you accept your Faye and probably seek help you tend to get help and even quit easier if you wanted to but otherwise it helps you give room for improvement and restrategizing and becoming a better gambler.

I wouldn't disagree any less with you because the basic and primary aim of gambling is basically for entertainment so we should be expecting any less from it except for people who has probably turned it into a profession and a means off making money which in some cases isn't proper enough because it's more of probability.

Trading is something that requires skills and much of dedication, disciplin and consistency because it's a professional thing, some persons literally learned it as a profession in which they engage in to make money and see it as a job so it can not be seen as entertainment because it's serious business where big institutions even some government organizations do get engaged in trading so I see no room for entertainment in such a serious business which in some cases has a determining effect on certain economy at some levels but gambling none of these is involved it's basically entertainment.
