Alonso ended the season with a defeat in the final, I said that the final is always a special match. And Atalanta showed that they are capable of beating both Liverpool and Bayer, and these victories were so convincing that there was no doubt who was stronger. And Atalanta became the team that broke Bayer's record. Bayer was lucky several times during the playoffs, but this did not happen in the match with Atalanta, I had a feeling that Bayer would have a difficult time in the final...

I don't understand why Alonso rotated some of his players in last night's match, to be honest I didn't watch the match until the end. Only in the first half, I saw Leverkusen not playing their best performance. At first I thought that Alonso would play his Starting Eleven, but it turns out he changed his strategy. I don't know why Alonso did that, instead of winning this fight. in fact, Leverkusen did not play as they should. the defense is weak, and the midfielders don't usually work like last night's match. I spoke at half-time, because after the 2-0 to Atalanta I ended a spectacle that was no longer very interesting.

And what is certain is that Atalanta, a team that was initially not at all superior in this competition, was able to progress and win the Europa League. very unexpected, I mean their journey in this competition. in fact, Leverkusen were not given the opportunity to get a single bonus goal as a consolation. In other words, I don't have much to say about the battle between these two teams last night other than congratulations to Atalanta for winning the title in the 2023-24 Europa League competition.

Everything happened after Xavi said that without additional strengthening of the team, it would be impossible to compete with Real. Of course, Laporta was disappointed by such words, because if Xavi is allowed, he will constantly demand strengthening of the team. But if we look at the results of last season, Barcelona, with the same squad (possibly with the exception of Dembele), was able to achieve this.

Perhaps Barcelona is currently holding negotiations with Flick, but there is no confirmation of this yet. How quickly everything changes, just recently Xavi was asked to stay in the team, and now he is again one step away from being fired. And now there is more choice among coaches, there is Pochettino, Tuchel and even Flick, whom everyone has already forgotten about.

If I had to choose based on my personal opinion, it looks like Barcelona needs a new coach who is more competent to handle Barcelona. I know, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona this far with very limited financial conditions.  However, as a Barcelona supporter, I am not satisfied with Xavi's performance, especially this season. Apart from the number of injured players who have been in the treatment room one after another, some of the systems he implemented were not ideal for me. one of them, the decline in the performance of Barcelona's back line. It is possible that if Barcelona is financially healthy, Xavi can be given the freedom to bring in the players he wants. Thus, at least Barcelona will be able to compete much more competitively. that's why, even though I don't really like the system that Xavi implements. but still, I really appreciate it.

To be honest, I haven't tried to track any developments regarding the coach and player rumors for this thread. Apart from that, the news that Flick was linked just disappeared. For current developments, I have not updated. So, please understand if I don't have much information. Regarding as you said, whether Xavi will be fired for his statement, Xavi should remain consistent in following what he said to end this season in charge of Barcelona. However, somehow we'll see how it develops. As for the names of trainers mentioned in this post, Flick is the most ideal for me. Anyway, this is just my personal point of view as well as a Barcelona supporter.

I like many here think Bayer will be champions, but I really hope there will be surprises in this match... Although usually the final matches are not rich in goals, I want to see goals from both teams... By the way, bookmakers give good odds that both teams will score, but favour Bayer... But it's probably safe to take a chance and place a small bet on Atalanta taking the title... The odds are more than 2...

I'm not sure if this match will continue until extra time, or until the penalty shootout. The option of betting on Leverkusen is the ideal choice for me personally, but it is necessary to consider whether Atalanta will be able to provide a surprise. This is a consideration for me personally to see the chances of these two teams, after all, Atalanta proved that they got rid of Liverpool before. if we talk about betting options, there are several options that we can choose from when it involves betting. The safest thing is that both teams will score, the odds provided are also quite decent at @1.71. in addition, the Over 2.5 goals equivalent option refers to the comparison of available odds. so is betting on Leverkusen. Moreover, choosing Leverkusen also means that the odds available are not much different from other odds options.

Except, in this match there are Atalanta supporters who side with their favorite team. ideally, the handicap option with +0.75 is a pretty good option with odds @1.82 although it is still medium risk. Referring to the line-up of players that will be fielded by both teams, Leverkusen is free with injured players. while Atalanta, several of their players were absent. whether the player is important or not, I didn't check. My estimate is that this match will end with a score of 2-1 for Leverkusen. well, let's wait for this match to take place.

It's true, this season of course Arsenal are better than last season, even though they failed to win the EPL this season but of course changes have been seen with them being able to finish in second place, this is quite good, because they had the opportunity to win but failed because there were Manchester City still dominates the League. Arsenal's good performance deserves appreciation because of course Arsenal have done their best this season so they can be in second place. but they are still not lucky, because Manchester City is stronger and has better performance so they can win the EPL.

Arsenal need to improve their performance a little for next season, because Arsenal has the opportunity to perform better next season to become a strong team and perhaps be able to compete with Manchester City. With the funds they have, of course they can recruit quality players to make Arsenal stronger next season.

At the very least, the competition for the 23-24 season trophy will run until week 38. For two seasons now, Arsenal has always provided quite tough competition. especially, in this season. Failing to return to the race for the Premier League trophy despite spending huge funds, Arteta must evaluate his team's squad for next season. I haven't followed what steps the Gunner will take in the next summer transfer window. However, it seems that bringing in new arrivals cannot be ruled out. especially, for pure strikers that the brand should have. Plus, some of the previous players need to improve their performance. the rest, releasing incompetent players. In fact, overall Arsenal didn't play badly. Unfortunately, in several matches Arsenal had difficulty winning the match, especially when several of their players were injured, Arsenal experienced 5 matches with defeats out of the 38 total played. Two points behind City isn't too bad, although TheCitizen was able to maintain its ranking for its fourth season. well, let's just follow what Arsenal is doing. Apart from that, City will also definitely improve the squad by bringing in several new arrivals. However, there are also several teams that look like they will be quite exciting competitors in next season's competition, one of which may be Newcastle. As a team whose shares are mostly owned by FIP, perhaps they will be more serious in competing next season by bringing in quality players. plus, several other clubs that might surprise us. and now, let's see what the big clubs in the Premier League will do in the transfer window.

I've never had problems with gambling addiction, but I watched a video on the Internet about a guy who was a former problem gambler.
He gave a great interview where he talked about how he realized his addiction and defeated it, and now he wants to tell everyone how very dangerous gambling can be. And this guy was really very addicted - during the interview there were inserts from his streams when he was still a gambler.
And it was a completely different personality!

I think this is a great example of getting rid of addiction.

On the contrary, I am a person who has a problem with gambling. especially, when it was still young and at that time online casinos were not as popular as they are today. Generally, I bet in physical casinos or betting shops. Well, that's precisely what made me now have experience related to gambling. It's not uncommon for me to get lost during betting sessions, for some people this is something that they often experience. Please understand, at that time I didn't really have much understanding about gambling. and if someone like you frequently refers to other people's experiences, especially as you take the time to watch interviews related to gambling and addiction. it may be able to give you an overview, understanding, essence based on the experience of the source and most importantly, what we get from the points that you think can be applied and useful.

for me because I have a long experience with gambling, especially when I was still in the addiction phase. reviewing personal experience is more than enough, the rest we can examine what is wrong with the gambling we do so that it becomes addictive and wastes a lot of time and of course money. Over time, that experience also gave us a lot of understanding regarding gambling. The point is, as a result of experience, I am no longer too ambitious to make a lot of money in one night. I changed all my gambling methods to involve experience, knowledge, responsibility and understanding. that's why, I limit myself and it's important to know the limits that only I can afford. choose the ideal bet, for me football. Anyway, getting rid of addiction is not as easy as we say. because, there are phases that must be implemented. moreover, it requires knowledge and involves self-control. and the importance, determination and intention. unfortunately, not everyone who gets addicted does so easily.

It is truly a great thing for such a young coach to become such an undefeated champion. He has done a great job with his career, becoming even more popular than when he was a football player. If the team continues to stay like this, they will be a great candidate to be the best team in the world for many years to come.
Bayern, the long-standing Bundesliga champion, has now lost this season Cheesy

In fact, I believe that no one expected Leverkusen to provide very tight competition this season. In the end, Bayern Munich's dominance over the Bundesliga was broken. Alonso came to BayArena and was able to bring big changes, this season with several new arrivals, Leverkusen performed brilliantly without a single defeat in various competitions. although, in several matches Leverkusen was closer to the luck factor of avoiding defeat. but that is the fact, until the last week of the Bundesliga Leverkusen was able to maintain its unbeaten record. It is not impossible that currently Xabi Alono is putting more emphasis on his team to win two more trophies, the match against Atalanta in the Europa League final is his main priority as well as maintaining his unbeaten record. after that, Xabi targeted the DFB Pokal trophy for another trophy. After all, Leverkusen really has a chance for that. We'll see if Xabi Alonso is able to carry his team.

Well, what's interesting is next season. Will Leverkusen continue to provide tough competition in the Bundesliga and other competitions, or could it be like several teams that previously appeared strong and then weakened in the following season. To find out how Leverkusen will fare in the coming years, there is nothing we can do but enjoy the new season of the Bundesliga and other competitions. For now, let's just see how Leverkusen plays in the final matches in the Europa League and DFB Pokal. if Alonso is able to deliver another two titles, it will be a very enjoyable and best season for Leverkusen and its fans.

27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 20, 2024, 12:08:08 PM
As I previously predicted, both teams will win the final match so that Manchester City will become the champion, and we can see how the best team currently in the English Premier League played very aggressively from the first minute of the match by managing to score a goal in the second minute, in contrast to Arsenal who in fact, they fell behind Everton even though they finally managed to win. Two failures for Arsenal and without a title this season for a team like Arsenal who are playing very well is certainly very painful.
Chelsea managed to get tickets to play in one of the European competitions even though it was only a conference league but this was much better than last season.

Arsenal continued to fight until the last moment, they played quite well. But Manchester City didn't make any mistakes. If they had suffered a defeat in the last weeks, maybe we would be talking about Araenal's championship right now. Manchester City should be congratulated, I don't like their style of play, but they manage to win matches for very long weeks without losing any points. An enjoyable season has passed

In the end, Manchester City once again suppressed Arsenal's resistance in the competition for the trophy in the Premier League. City, again successfully defended the Premier League title. As a Gunners fan, I previously hoped that Spurs or West Ham would be able to stop Pep Guardiola's team from winning their last two games of the season. but in fact, Manchester City is doing a very good job. They achieved success this season, and only experienced three defeats. After being eliminated in the Champions League, Pep focused on ensuring that his team did not lose a single point before the end of this competition and they deserved it.

On the other hand, Arsenal did the same thing, Mikel Arteta's team did a very good job until the last week of the Premier League. What can I say, we can't celebrate Arsenal lifting the Premier League trophy again this season. I have nothing to be sad about as a Gunners fan, after all City is doing a very good job. Likewise with Arsenal, at least they are able to provide their best competition until the 38th week of this competition.
So, congratulations to TheCitizen and hopefully next season Arsenal and several other teams will provide more interesting competition for this competition. yeah, the fun season is over, but as a football lover I have to be fair even though in the end the Gunners couldn't give us the title at the end of this season.

I would like to ask everyone here who is into sports betting for some advice. I've come to realize that maybe I should start fading myself. I've noticed that my recent gambling journey hasn't been profitable, so I'm thinking maybe I'm missing something. I tried an experiment by just recording my picks and then betting the opposite of my analysis. Surprisingly, this resulted in profitable betting.

So how about you? Have you ever thought of this idea when your picks aren't hitting? I mean, if we keep following how we think and feel with our picks and it doesn't translate to profit, there's no reason to continue following the same strategy. But are we comfortable with betting against our own picks just for the sake of fading ourselves strategy?

Interesting, it seems like you are trying to review your bet after not making much profit. and yeah, you tried to do the experiment as you said. For me, I don't plan to bet on the opposite of what we have predicted based on the analysis results. But, if you do as you say and win the bet, that's good for you. At the very least, you know your analysis results are wrong again. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what you are saying, this is just a matter of our perspective in terms of sports betting. Not infrequently, I experience the same situation as you. for me personally, this is something that is commonplace in sports betting.
In fact, we don't always bet following the same strategy. In fact, we also involve feelings in analyzing. For example, for example, if I don't believe that the team I choose will produce the results I expect. for example, my favirot team will compete against other strong teams. or, whatever it is that clouds our choices when making decisions when going to a betting session. There are only variables that cause our analysis to not be as accurate as we hope, the most crucial factor is the problem of luck.

Besides, maybe you and I didn't really pay attention when analyzing. There could also be other causes, which lead to defeat. After that, we try to review the results of our bets and analysis. The main point is, whatever it is, there is always a risk in every betting session we make. In fact, someone can randomly bet according to what he wants without involving analysis. If our luck is high, victory will not go anywhere. If we have to lose, no matter how clever we are in our analysis, in the end there are only two probabilities, winning or losing. Even then, if we bet on a team, for example, the option is 1×2 betting. Personally, I always involve many options and variables when carrying out a betting session. after all, everything is to minimize losses. one more thing, I also don't hesitate not to bet if I really don't have confidence in my analysis.

Just because Dortmund haven't won a single trophy doesn't mean they have a better chance win it in the Champions League final than Real Madrid. Moreover, Real Madrid have so much more experience in this tournament that they can play more confidently, although these are just my assumptions. There is no need now to evaluate Real's defense based on the match with Villarreal, because there you need to evaluate the match comprehensively, starting with their squard and ending with motivation. In the final everything will be different, and most likely it will be Dortmund who will play most of the match in defense, unless they concede an early goal and have to win back.

I agree with some of the points you said, yes, if I have to compare the two teams that will compete in the Champions League final, these two teams have depth and experience that differs based on statistics if we have to compare them. We agree that it is very likely that Edin Terzic's team will play more on the defensive line, I mean Real Madrid will dominate the game more. especially, if we refer to Dortmund's several matches before qualifying for the final round of this competition. One example is when Dortmund played against PSG, whether home or away, Edin Terzic's team played more in their defense. Despite Dortmund being able to score first, Terzic seems more focused on their defense. Moreover, if Dortmund is able to take the lead first. With this scenario, Terzic will better defend his position and get around his team to maximize the opportunities available, especially when counter-attacking.

But as you said, in this Final match everything will be different. Even though Real Madrid is far favorite than Dortmund, what's more, we are also referring to the betting market. But in football anything can happen, because so far we have only talked based on existing data and statistics. Even though it is supported by the available material, this match has not yet been held. which means, before the Champions League final match has not been held. We will not know for sure which team will win the Champions League competition in the 2023-24 season. we'll just have to wait and see, and I hope this match provides a fight worth enjoying.

To be honest, this is a match that is no longer a priority for Madrid. I see that the starting XI that Ancelotti implemented was really just to test the mentality of some of his young players. I don't see this match being that special for Madrid and maybe it was very good for Villarreal because it wasn't easy and they were able to equalize the score when they were far behind.

Ancelotti will definitely evaluate the performance of his young players in order to strengthen their mentality next season and I think Ancelotti is also very satisfied with his team's performance.

If we see that whatever the result of this match does not have a big impact on Real Madrid's points, we agree that this match is an opportunity for Ancelotti to rotate some of his players. Plus, Ancelotti seems to be trying out the patterns and systems he implemented when his team visited Villareal at home. I'm pretty sure Don Carlo has calculated it beforehand, especially since he knows the typical character of the Villarreal coach under Marcelino.

To be honest, I didn't watch this fight. however, if I refer to the data and statistics of this match. Carlo Ancelotti knows that Marcelino's Villarreal prioritizes a 4-4-2 pattern. That's because Don Carlo can experiment with the patterns he uses and also rotate some of his players. Plus, playing Adra Guler as the main starting player and other young players in the second half. I don't see Ancelotti adopting the mentality of some of the younger players, but rather taking the opportunity to rotate and apply another pattern to this match. one of the factors mentioned above, and the most important factor is to provide space for several of Real Madrid's core players to recover their fitness. It's very important in my opinion, apart from still having one match against Real Betis. Ancelloti does not want his main pillar players to suffer injuries ahead of the match against Dortmund in the Champions League Final. The 4-4 result doesn't have any impact on Real Madrid, but it can be said that Ancelotti is carrying out several experiments in the remaining matches in La Liga with several young players plus the system he is implementing. Real Madrid were successful in the first half, then somehow the match was a 4-4 draw. Of course, I didn't watch this match. So, I can't examine it carefully. However, it is possible that Ancelotti is learning a good system when his team plays Dortmund. in particular, Dotmund seems to be playing with the same system as Villareal, they will rely on counter attacks. Therefore, it is homework for Don Carlo to strengthen his line of defenders ahead of the Champions League Final match.

It is very sad to see a team like Union Berlin fall into the relegation zone. Union Berlin performed well in the previous two seasons. And in the last season held the top spot in the points table for a long time. This season I thought Union Berlin's performance would be stronger. I was not at all prepared to see such a collapse of Union Berlin. Bochum finished the season in 15th place in the points table.
For sure its sad to see them this season on the 15th place when they was last season in the top 4 already.
Nobody have expected that they will be playing this bad as they have done this year.
Dont know really why this has happend , as the team dosnt have changed much since last year.
But other teams whas coming better aslo and Berlin can be happy for not got relegated.

Union Berlin was very lucky to avoid the relegation zone, even though they were predicted to drop from the Bundesliga considering their poor performance throughout this season. In the 34th week of the match, Union Berlin was able to win over Freiburg with a score of 2-1. even though, in the previous 7 matches they were unable to win a single match. in other matches, Buchum was unable to win the match or played a draw when visiting Bremen headquarters with a score of 4-1. In the end, Buchum was ranked 16th and had to take part in the playoffs to compete again in the Bundesliga. Even then, with the condition, Buchum must win the fight. At least Union Berlin is still competing in the Bundesliga, even though it is only able to rank 15th.

If I have to speculate based on my personal perspective, Union Berlin is not ready to take part in various competitions this season with players who can be said to have not changed much. in particular, Union Berlin must focus on the Champions League and other competitions. As a result, several players were sidelined due to injuries, they were also unable to play as competitively as in the previous season. well, what I said refers to their performance last season, when Union Berlin focused on the Europa League, their performance declined in the Bundesliga. in the end, Union Berlin was only able to finish in 4th place.
This season, in the last match, Union Berlin survived relegation by defeating the opposing team. yeah, even though it's sad to see their performance, at least we can still see Union Berlin competing in the Bundesliga next summer.

I think Al Nassr should consIder replacing Luiz Castro next season, because so far the tactics and strategies he has applied in the Al Nassr game have only been effective when facing weak teams, but when they face strong teams of course it Is clear that the Al Nassr game is not effective and that is why Al Nassr has to lose a lot of points this season.
Maybe your assessment is right, but as far as I remember, Al-Nassr's 4 defeats so far, two of which occurred in the first two matches of the season, so it could be said that they started the season not well, but after that everything went better, but clearly not as good as their competitor, Al-Hilal, so, in my opinion, the team is in good condition, even if it fails to win the title, it may not be the right choice, even though it might change the team for the better, but to be able to match Al-Hilal's record next season, it's not entirely because of the coach but also the supporting squad, because they won't be defeated in one season is not an easy task, and not many coaches can achieve that, so I doubt replacing Luiz Castro will bring big changes at Al-Nassr

It is not impossible that Al Nassr management will look for a more ideal coach to manage their team in the coming season. referring to Luis Castro's performance, especially if he is defeated again by his competitor in the King's Cup. Maybe his career with Al Nassr will be over, especially since his contract with Al Nassr is only until 2025. Which means, he only has one season ahead to handle Al Nassr. Sadly, it could be said that Al Nassr is the team that has the most competitive squad with the depth of players in terms of the material of the players. It's a shame that Luis Castro was unable to bring a trophy to the club and Ronaldo fans this season. well, if in the King's Cup he is unable to bring his team to win the trophy, I am not sure if this Portuguese coach will still manage Al Nassr next season.

In contrast to Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus is also a coach from Portugal. the difference is, he is more familiar to the middle eastern league than Luis Castro. Apart from managing Al Hilal in 2018-19, Jorge Jesus also managed Fenerbache and the various trophies he won with other clubs and the team he managed at that time. Apart from that, at least he understands Saudi Pro League football better than Luis Castro. Maybe that's why the Al Hilal coach was able to optimize his team until the 32nd match without defeat. Another fact is that Al Hilal is one of the teams that is difficult for its opponents to beat in the Saudi Pro League. Before Al Ittihad won the trophy last season, the League trophy holders for three consecutive seasons were dominated by Al Hilal. Now, Al Hilal has returned to its position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Let's return to Luis Castro's discussion, based on the statistics of these two coaches, Jorge Jesus is more experienced than coach Al Nassr. Perhaps, the language problem was one of the obstacles why Al Nassr was less than optimal at the start of the season. After all, in the Saudi Pro League Al Nassr only lost 4 times in 32 matches. Luis Castro could be removed, and vice versa. he will probably be retained, especially if he is ultimately able to provide one trophy, even the King's Cup. but that is important for Al Nassr, especially since their opponents will be Al Hilal. If you lose in the King's Cup Final, then be prepared for Luis Castro, if his role as coach of the Al Nassr squad will be replaced. well, this is just based on my personal point of view and assumptions. We'll see what will develop after this season ends.

Very good odds, especially if you win on this bet. Apart from betting and gambling, we discuss the other side of this athlete. To be honest, I don't really follow developments in the world of this sport. Moreover, tennis can debut a top type of sport that is enjoyed and can be played by certain groups of people. I mean, the stigma of a sport like tennis is that it is a sport for middle and upper class people. although in reality, it doesn't have to be like that. What I say is based on the point of view of cultural and cultural influences in a country. Simply put, in my country this type of sport is not like football which is more popular. So, it is very natural that many athletes in tennis come from middle to upper class people.
well, other than that I really don't know this guy. Please understand, I am less involved in betting other than football. based on the results of what you posted, especially since we are also discussing someone's personality. Not a few, an athlete is depicted in an attitude that is not worthy of emulation. actually we only see the outside, or what we see. even though, there will always be factors that trigger cause and effect.

Well, either Stefanos Tsitsipas is arrogant or arrogant because of his attitude. it's not in our capacity to judge him, especially since I don't know anything about this person. But one thing is certain, to be sure to bet, especially on sports. A person must be based on knowledge and experience to support the success of a prediction. Yes, as you might do. because you know the character and history of Stefanos Tsitsipas, and maybe also his opponent. As a result of your analysis, in the end you may decide to speculate and consider betting directly. and yeah, you win for that. congratulations, there is no other word than that.

Just the previous day I was talking about Drake curse and other celebrities who lose in gambling. And here we are again with another drake's matter. Drake is a terrible gambler and he has to come to admit that that is what he is and he should just take a break from gambling for some time, get some coaching on it and return and try his hands while gambling again. I know he's a celebrity and these are monies that he can afford to lose because he has more than enough. Yet I am worried for his fans who has not as wealthy as he is and who he has a huge influence over.

Interesting, I don't really highlight the betting side of this celebrity. Moreover, he bets on other types of sports beyond my capacity to provide the slightest speculation or assumption based on my perspective with his betting and what Drake is betting on. So with great humility I don't have to say that this is a curse, especially for the gambling that he did. What is certain is that we know one thing, he is a famous celebrity, he has many financial assets which he earns from his profession in the world of entertainment. You and I also agree on the other side of it, most likely he only spends money he can afford to lose. and yeah, maybe there's an impact he has on gambling that has an influence on people who are fans of Drake. one of them in the community, his name is always mentioned because of the bets he made. he tends to bet on sports, whether it's boxing or football. what he does, may have an effect on the psychology of gambling of the people who enjoy it.


Well, this is one of the reasons why sports betting must be purely based on knowledge, experience, science and understanding. Fortunately, I was not affected by this celebrity gambling. Moreover, I will think a thousand times, to bet with a bankroll of money at stake. because, I'm not as rich as this person. the thing is he is a bad gambler, I am out of context to give value to someone. Moreover, we also often lose in sports betting. but it cannot be denied, what this person did gave us a healthy discussion on how to gamble responsibly. Plus, it gives us an idea to really understand the risks when betting. moreover, with a large bankroll.

Why I brought this topic it's because so many people are still paying debt, why? Because they went ahead of borrowing money just to gamble and by the end of the day, they lose it all.  I know of a friend who is still battling to pay of his debt while he used the money on gambling. Is it proper no. What are the main points of gambling?
(1) CONSIDERATION
(2) ANY AMOUNT WAGERED.
(3) RISK (4) CHANCE AND A PRICE.

With you knowing this elements, you won't bother to go to the extreme of borrowing money to gamble. So have you borrowed money to gamble? If you do please take notes of this and stop it.

In fact, we have had a lot of discussion about the theme you initiated in this thread, so let's just discuss the point you posted. Firstly, point 1 is the opposite of what I apply to my betting. why, the reason is simple, for me the ratio of losing is greater than the probability of winning. although, I am a sports betting type of bettor. This is an important point for me personally, because to win the game apart from knowledge, insight along with experience, luck is an equally important part, although usually the type of gambling that I like is sports. So, this is why we need many variables on how to get around it in order to minimize losses.

2, this point should be a guide or rule for gamblers so that they are not too naive in measuring emotions and desires when gambling.
3, we agree, but basically gambling requires discipline to be controlled. To be able to control, someone needs experience, understanding, knowledge, awareness and responsibility. if these aspects are involved, then we can discipline ourselves to bet within the limits only we can afford.
4, this point goes back to point 3, we are required not to spend more money than we can afford to lose. The problem is, does losing on the first deposit have a big impact on our finances? If not, there's nothing wrong with making a redeposit. However, with the rules, also include points 1 and 2. Ideally, if gambling is no longer possible for me to continue, for example because of work, losing too much or spending too much time, that's where we have to be aware of the rules that serve as guidelines or principles for our gambling.

However, in fact, not all gamblers can limit themselves consistently and with discipline. although, we have bound it with the rules of the game that we apply. Gambling is complex for me, easy to explain simply, but difficult to implement simply. the essence of it all, it all depends on a person's responsibility towards his gambling.

First of all, I think every one needs to congratulate the Bayer Leverkusen team for doing an incredible job in the league this season and for setting a new record of finishing the league without defeat that's a good record that can't be forgotten in a hurry. Yes Leverkusen are champions right now in the league they need to celebrate and get back to work so they can be able to win the two major trophies that are ahead of them, the Europa League finals against Atalanta and the cup finals which they stand a better chance of winning judging with their form and good performance this season so I think they will end up lifting three trophies this season and hopefully they will keep the unbeaten run going till the end of the competition,  congratulations to them coach Xabi Alonso, congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen team and a big congrats to my Nigerian brother Victor Boniface.

The closing match was very memorable for Leverkusen who succeeded in overthrowing Augsburg in Week 34, Xabi Alonso and his team achieved a big achievement as they played match after match in the Bundesliga without being defeated. congratulations to Alonso and his squad, as well as to Bayer Leverkusen fans to celebrate their favorite team performing consistently until they complete their matches in the 2023-24 Bundesliga season. This season the Bundesliga presents something different, in fact I don't expect Bayer Leverkusen to finally be able to break the dominance that has so far always been dominated by Bayern Munich. Last season, Bayern Munich's dominance was only in sight to be broken by Borussia Dortmund. Unfortunately, Edin Terzic's team squad was unable to make it happen.

This season, Alonso recruited several newcomers to strengthen his squad. some of them, namely Xhaka, Victor Boniface, Josif Stanisic, who give their own color to every appearance Lerkusen makes in various competitions. This season, Leverkusen had great success in the Bundesliga without defeat and broke the streak of owning  trophies which was always held by Bayern Munich every season. There are only two matches left for the squad coached by Xabi Alonso, which they will play. After this week, Leverkusen will complete their match against Atalanta in the European League Final. After that, they will also play a match in the DFB Pokal Final against Kaiserslautern. If Alonso is able to bring his team undefeated in two different matches, Xabi and Leverkusen will make new history for the club. Apart from being undefeated, they also collected three trophies in various different competitions. well, the most interesting of the two matches they will play is the European League final against Atalanta. Let's just wait and enjoy, when the match is held later.

This looks strange because Al-Nassr managed to score a goal in the first minute of the match, but after that did not succeed in increasing the number of goals to further secure the victory, instead during stoppage time Al-Hilal managed to score a goal through a penalty so they succeeded in securing an unbeaten record.
If Al-Nassr can maintain their lead and beat Al-Hilal this will increase their motivation to perform better in the King's Cup final to get the title this season but this draw might affect the mentality of Al-Nassr players who this season have had five meetings including Friendly matches can't be won even once, Luis Castro must be able to find the weakness of his team which failed to beat Al-Hilal so that the final can perform better and even reverse many people's predictions with them being the winners.

Unique, this match started with a quick goal by the home team in the 1st minute and the position became equal at 1-1 in the 90+10th minute through the opponent's penalty spot. Interestingly, in several matches Luis Castro changed his system pattern for the Al Nassr squad. Plus, with a 4-1-4-1 pattern in the match against Al Hilal, Al Nassr took the lead in the early minutes of the first half. Unfortunately, even though Al Nassr were able to take the lead in the first half with an early goal, they didn't do much to increase their lead. On the contrary, Al Hilal dominated the game even more, both in the first half and in the second half. To be honest, I didn't watch this match, however I can still refer to the match statistics. Supposedly, playing at home should enable Al Nassr to break the unbeaten record of their opposing team. In fact, Luis Castro should motivate his team even more to add goals to ensure they are able to overthrow Al Hilal.

But what can I say, even though it seemed that Al Hilal had difficulty breaking through Al Nassr's net, in the end they were able to avoid defeat through a goal from the penalty spot. in the end, the match had to end with a score of 1-1. well, as you said. Al Nassr should be able to use this match to motivate them for a real fight in the race for the King's Cup. At the very least, even though this match is a prestigious match, it looks like we will see a real fight for the King's Cup.

What's striking the most of what Colby Cotrone said was that kids are unaware of what they are doing. Could it be that even the grown-up man may also not be aware of what he is doing as over time a gambler may be consumed by how much he enjoyed the thrills of gambling?

Quote
They think they are doing something as simple as rooting for thier favorite players but it's turned more into making money than the game and having fun as a fan. - Colby Cotrone

And would you agree with him in implementing gambling prevention education in schools?


Yes, I agree with this one point. Most of us don't really realize or even care what they are doing with their gambling. What I mean is not related to victory, or even an adult man really wanting to win. These things are normal, so what most people don't realize is the importance of responsibility, understanding about gambling itself, plus making betting the main motive for fun. but with conditions, responsibility and having limits that we can afford are the main things. thus, a person at least knows what he is doing with gambling.
Well, if we talk about the sensation of enjoying gambling, isn't that part of what we want? and therefore too, we bet. Unfortunately, if it is not balanced with understanding, knowledge, responsibility, and the way we express gambling for us, someone can become lulled without them realizing what they are actually doing. to quote point, so what do we actually do ? Isn't that why we bet, apart from supporting our favorite team, getting money for winning is a bonus. if there is nothing to motivate on this basis, one is unlikely to bet. they will just watch a fight and enjoy it without involving betting.

Lastly, the opposite question is whether it is effective to implement gambling prevention education in schools. I don't think so, that's why until now this idea has not been included in studies in every school throughout the world. On the contrary, the role of the family and sharing what is appropriate for children to know and what they are not yet allowed to do, is the most important part that parents apply to their children.

39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 17, 2024, 07:48:02 PM
We all know that we cannot play for a long time without being responsible players; we could go crazy, or we could lose all our money; at some point, you have to realize that you need to play responsibly, so I created this poll and this discussion to pick your reasons and explain it.

In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.

In most cases that I know of, specifically in my immediate environment. for example, friends, or even work colleagues, most of whom experience the same case. namely, when we experience a loss of a lot of money. Based on my gambling experience, I experienced many losses due to a lack of awareness about gambling itself. the experience I got, when I lost a lot of money in one day at the gambling table. After that, experience taught me many things related to gambling. Understandably, at that time I still didn't have much understanding other than how to win more money from the bets I made. Regardless of the type of game, when we win, dissatisfaction is always the main motive that ultimately results in many losses. especially if we lose, the urge to bet more makes it even more challenging to recover the money we have lost. That's why I was devastated by the gambling I did. In the past, the motive was to gamble to win, now gambling is for entertainment, even though in the end winning is something that cannot be separated from the gambling we do. But if you don't realize it, someone might become even more devastated by their inability to control themselves. the importance of awareness, understanding, then a sense of responsibility is born. responsibility for the gambling we do, and what we gamble for. These things started to regulate what I did with my gambling. Moreover, nowadays it is easier for us with sophisticated technology. without having to leave the house, we can access it. but the danger is, if we don't have rules that we apply. The main point for me, gambling nowadays is nothing more than entertainment and having fun, especially football. responsibility for what we do, and how much I can afford to lose. plus, knowing the limits as best we can. Well, involve all the variables that we apply, nothing but as a reminder so that we have the awareness to control ourselves.

Atalanta losing at the first final match in Copa Italia after beating by Juventus last nigh, I don't sure get quit well performance on second final match in Europe League against unbeaten team Bayern Leverkusen two week later. If Bayern Leverkusen win one match left in domestic league before facing Atalanta in the final match make more confidence raise 51 unbeaten matches all competition and get difficult for Atalanta how to stop Bayern Leverkusen keep in the unbeaten record.
Actually over 70% prediction favorite for Bayern Leverkusen will win the Europe League final match, but always has difference performance when playing in the final exactly Atalanta has motivate for winning one tittle in this season after failure in Copa Italia.

To be honest, I don't really follow how the teams compete in Serie A. So, I don't have much to say about Atalanta in the final match against Leverkusen. One thing you need to be aware of, if Atalanta is able to stop Liverpool, it is possible that they will also be able to stop the progress and record of Xabi Alonso's squad in the Europa League final. After all, in the final match everything is not ruled out. everything is open for Atalanta, even though they just failed in the Coppa Italia.
Talking about Leverkusen, this team has caught my attention since the beginning of this thread when it was released. I favor one of the many teams, which will be a candidate to trouble any opposing team. and yeah, it was proven that Alonso was able to take his squad to the Europa League Final. However, as this competition progresses, I also favor several teams that will be candidates for this competition. although, for Atalanta I don't expect much. but, they were able to go this far. So, in the final match, Atalanta will not let Leverkusen win easily. Even though Leverkusen are far more favourites, in the final match everything is possible. the possibility of Atalanta stopping Leverkusen's record, plus winning this League trophy. Or, in the end, Alonso had great success this season, being undefeated in various competitions. Moreover, currently Alonso rotates his players more. Of course, he doesn't want his main squad to suffer injuries ahead of the Europa League Final match. At the same time, providing a break to restore energy for several core players who will be demoted to the starting eleven in the final match of this competition. Regardless of the result, we definitely agree that Leverkusen has a real chance of winning the Europa League trophy.
