This must be a rumor as I don't think Mbappe would consider Arsenal as one of his options. I doubt that Arsenal could compete with some of the other interest clubs financially and beyond that, Arsenal doesn't have what it takes to convince a player like Mbappe. They are just not there yet. Liverpool is the most exciting option for him I think as Klopp is there and something big can be built over a long period of time with Mbappe as the leader. Real Madrid is the most logical option I guess.
I am also thinking about it as a rumor because Arsenal is trying to avoid financial fair play which means they will have to sell players before they can afford Mbappe and Arsenal did not have any important player for sell that can attract enough money for signing Mbappe this transfer window. Arsenal did not even have Mbappe in their plan because they know that they cannot afford paying huge amounts of money they are supposed to use in signing tow or more players for just Mbappe.
Liverpool and Manchester City will be the best two teams that can afford him in their team right now because he will not play for Chelsea or Manchester United because of their current situation.

But tell me one good reason why Mbappe should decide to go to Arsenal? Arsenal is not a prestigious club like Real Madrid, Manchester City or even Liverpool although Liverpool isn't quite on that level I think. But it is close to that level and Mbappe could bring in all his best effort to make history with the club. I don't think he would find the same conditions and prospects if he decided to join Arsenal. Arteta isn't like Klopp. Mbappe needs a world star coach.

I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to bring in Mbappe, because there will be many influencing factors.
If that happens then Arsenal will become PSG volume 2, because Mbappe will definitely be the only star there.
So far Arsenal are targeting Vlahovic, but he still has an unexpired contract. On the other hand, Juventus also needs large funds. Maybe it could be a win win solution for both teams.

That proves that it doesn't even matter how good history in your career as a footballer and there is no guarantee if you will be a good coach. In fact, so numerous players that shifted to be a new coach were only a few that was successfully become good coach.

A general pattern. There are very few former world-class players who have become successful coaches. Most of them have had one or two stints as a coach and then never found a job as a coach again. Wayne Rooney is also very unlikely to become a successful coach. Much more successful are former players who have played in the first or second division of their country, but have never really been among the greatest. The best examples of those are Carlo Angelotti and Jurgen Klopp.

Actually, it's not a general pattern. I think the most basic thing is whether he retired because he had a bad career at the end of his time?
Because most of these players will decline their careers as they approach retirement, move to small clubs or even minor league castes, and then take coaching courses.
This pattern will result in more failures, compared to players who retire during their glory days.
Unfortunately I see that Rooney doesn't have a vision for that, I just think he will become a coach and take advantage of the big name he had during his career at Man United. Maybe we can compare it with Gattuso.

December last year was West Ham's best month because they managed to overthrow the elite clubs in the EPL and only lost to Liverpool. David Moyes' team managed to beat teams such as Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal. Perhaps the most recent victory against Arsenal was the most surprising because they did it at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's headquarters, and that result was also the beginning of a disaster for the Gunners' other bad results.

Soon West Ham will play their first match in early 2024 and their opponent will be Brighton. In H2H, the two teams played quite evenly, but actually I would pay more attention to the results obtained in the last few matches when determining bets. So here it is clear that I am pinning my hopes on West Ham's victory so that they can continue their winning trend.
In terms of performance, Brighton is experiencing a decline. It is profitable for West Ham to be able to take 3 points in this match.
But keep in mind that they are both mediocre teams, whose player composition is almost the same level. This only depends on the trainer's strategy in winning the fight.
Moreover, their positions in the standings table compete with each other. If Birghton manages to win, they will temporarily secure the number 6 position.

Maybe your intention is to advertise Bitcoin secretly. But that's impossible to do, advertising must be public.
If people think the ad is arrogant because they feel proud, it's up to their perspective.
People just need to know what bitcoin is, and how it works. Easy as that.

Moreover, the advertisement will not discuss Bitcoin too technically because it will be quite difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Unless there is an in-depth discussion about bitcoin, a technical discussion is needed to make it more comprehensive.

It doesn't need to be too complicated to include Bitcoin and Blockchain courses in universities.
Blockchain technology will automatically enter the field of modern technology, without us needing to learn from school or university.
Spending a lot of time on this forum has also increased our knowledge because there are many topics and sub-topics that we can read about.
The potential for bitcoin will grow rapidly when people view bitcoin as easy, everyone can have access to find bitcoin information for free on social media.

Yeah, the current performance of Brazil is really bad.

But Brazil is really one of the best, if not the best, team historically speaking.

There can be rough patches along the way, but they are a really strong team, and there are many more games to be played yet.

Things will probably change in the future.

Yeah, the current performance of Brazil is indeed disappointing. I hope within a few times Brazil overcome the position again with the talented players. However, considering their remarkable historical achievements, do you think they'll be able to bounce back in the upcoming games?
As we know, Brazil is one of the countries that has the best football talent. Almost all leagues have players from Brazil.
The reason is that Brazil is currently still managed by a caretaker coach, this has a big influence on their performance.
Ancelotti is still under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, therefore they must immediately look for other suitable options.
There are several names of the world's best coaches who they can immediately contract to fill the vacant coaching seat.

I believe Brazil will find their best performance sooner or later, it's just a matter of strategy and technique from the coaching team to be able to improve it.
Because almost all the players in the current team are playing in the big European leagues. So it will be easier to adapt.

It's New Year here in our country and I happened to bump into an old friend who narrated a story about how he almost suffered a heart attack after he won a big amount of money in a casino, this was several months ago, he's lucky that his son was around at that time so he got the right treatment at the right time.

He did not know that his hypertension had gotten worse since he can gamble even if he has this, he is taking medicines and doing relaxation but big winnings must have triggered this.

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?

This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.



That's why it's important to have regular health checks. We never know what potential disease we have. Especially those related to the heart are very vital.
Of course, feelings of joy and happiness will be in harmony with blood pressure. I also tend to have high blood pressure which may have the potential for hypertension.
Therefore, I always try to control my stress level when gambling or whatever. Because treating a heart attack due to hypertension we only have a chance of less than 1 hour.

Just recently reported that Pacman announce his fight with Mayweather this year.

For the information of everyone, this is just an exhibition fight, and I think it will be after his fight with Buakaw which will happen in April 2020.

I believe, this is the biggest exhibition match and could potentially break another PPV record.


Quote
Mayweather vs Pacquiao II is set to happen on a RIZIN card in 2024, according to Manny Pacquiao and RIZIN boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara.

The announcement was made on New Year’s Eve in Japan as Pacquiao attended as a special guest.

“Pac-Man” stated he had permission to confirm the fight when taking to the microphone.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch in 2024
“I hope to see you in Japan in a big fight against Floyd Mayweather,’ Pacquiao stated. “I’m excited for that.”

It's an attractive exhibition match because of the potential to make more money, but it should still be given more appreciation because it increases people's interest in the sport of boxing.
I doubt Mayweather's physique because he does too much nightlife than Pacquiao. But once again this is an exhibition match which will probably show more of the entertainment side.

In fact, I now hear that Pacquiao has turned into a professional billiards athlete in his country, the Philippines.
He should have enjoyed enough without getting himself battered in the boxing ring  Cheesy
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 01, 2024, 08:45:12 PM
Transfers to be made in January transfer window could be effective enough to change the fate of the Champions League winner maybe. I can't imagine what would happen in case of seeing Real Madrid's signing a deal with Mbappe. However even if this happens he wouldn't join the team right away of course. They would need to wait for him until the end of the season unless they buy his clause to bring him immediately.

However truthfully I don't expect Real Madrid to sign him in January because probably he would like to wait for the end of the season to make his decision on his future.  Smiley  I expect PSG to be eliminated early again which would make things really difficult for convincing Mbappe to stay.

I don't think that transfers in January have ever been of such a significant importance that they helped a team win the Champions League. If that was the case, I wonder what type of player you are talking about. Of course, if Real Madrid would sign Mbappe in January and he would score several goals in the final round of the Champions League, then it would perhaps be true, but since that won't happen, I doubt that any transfer in January would literally be responsible for the Champions League trophy at the end of the season.

I would agree only about the transfer of Kylian Mbappe from PSG to Real Madrid to be a game changer for the club in all competitions including Champions League. Real Madrid need more firepower in the attack line to help Bellingham scoring more and more goals to guarantee winning most of the game.
Until yesterday I had some hope that the player might join Real Madrid in this winter transfer window but from what I heard today, it appears to be quite difficult to happen with PSG willing to offer him a new and better contract!
In the other available options, I find it hard for a team to acquire other talented player that could help them win the title. Even signing a couple of players will not be possible for most of the teams in my opinion apart from Manchester United which might try to improve its squad but it is already too late.

But PSG is qualified for the next round and they are playing against Real Sociedad. What is the point in selling Mbappe now when PSG has the only goal to finally win the Champions League. If they decided to sell him now, everything they did to convince him to extend his contract some time ago, it would have made any sense at all. That is why I was confused to see people here express their opinion that Mbappe could leave PSG in winter. No, he won't leave PSG and he will give this a last shot to win the Champions League trophy and then in summer he will leave the club.

If Mbappe's goal is to win the Champions League, it is natural that he will move to a club that has a greater chance of winning, such as Manc City, Real Madrid, Munich or Barcelona.
However, the one who really needs a pure striker right now is Real Madrid. And we know Real Madrid is the defending champion for the Champions League. He has a big chance if he joins there to win the championship.
How many times have he and PSG been defeated by these clubs in the preliminary round. I have to be honest, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League are still very far away compared to the clubs I mentioned earlier.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 01, 2024, 08:25:39 PM
that's what happens in Ligue 1. because each club owner may have a different investment for their club. and the gap with other clubs will be clear when PSG can gather Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar. I'm sure no club in Ligue 1 could do that in that situation.
PSG seems to have to make plans for some of the top players in the transfer market that they can get. They have dominated in Ligue 1, but they will be doubted when they are in European competitions like the Champions League. PSG may have a chance to progress from the last 16 of the Champions League, but they will not win it.
Because the club owners have a lot of money, they were able to put together a front line that was quite dangerous in the previous few seasons. But in reality they are not able to provide anything different and that is not about Ligue 1 but other competitions that are much higher. Other clubs don't have the finances like PSG so not many can afford to buy quality players and when that can't be done then PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 without such strong competition.

PSG needs to build a more solid squad and maybe not just talk about a number of quality players because the previous season they had quite good strength. Now long-term projections need to be developed where Luis Enrique must be different from the previous coach and this will be a difficult job that Luis Enrique needs to do.
First of all, Luis Enrique will need to get clarity on his future at PSG. Will he be a coach who will be with the team for a long time or will he be fired in a few negative situations? If he wants to remain in the team as a promising coach, what he needs to do is to bring France's best young potentials between the ages of 16-18 to the team. France has a golden feature in this regard. PSG could be a great opportunity for a country that constantly produces Wonderkid. After 2-3 years, they can have a great squad with these players. I think one should be patient with Enrique.

Enrique built PSG like he built Barcelona. Using young players for future projections. Because he realized that even if PSG bought expensive players, it would still be difficult to win the Champions League.
On the positive side, this idea is in line with the French government's thoughts on continuing to develop potential young talents so that they can also be used to fill world cup slots.
They are not so burdened with fighting for the French League championship, because they realize that it is easier to get than the Champions League.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 01, 2024, 08:08:46 PM
I'm afraid David Raya is a really bad goalkeeper at the moment. Andre Onana's average rating in the Premier League so far is much higher than David Raya despite his being criticized very much as well. I think Ramsdale should continue to be the main goalkeeper for Arsenal. He didn't perform badly until Raya came honestly.

I don't even know why Arsenal started to think of parting their ways with Ramsdale. At least some news sources are saying like they will do this. No matter what Arsenal shouldn't trust Raya while he is performing this badly.  Sad

But Arteta prefers to make David Raya the starter because his ability in build-up is more prominent than Ramsdale.
We know that Arsenal is a collective team that relies on attacks through build-up at the back.
Like it or not, Ramsdale has to adjust himself to train harder and be able to compete for the main goalkeeper position.

Onana has performed quite well in the last few matches, even though in the end they lost to Nottingham Forest Undecided

I visit the city here few weeks ago due to my personal medical appointment. I notice that they have public wifi because I’m only allowed to use my Tab as mobile device due to my eye condition.

I just thought playing a little bit gambling while waiting for my appointment but then I realized that online casino has a strict rules about IP sharing. I'm really skeptical to connect because I’m not sure whether someone connected on it that play on same online casino that I’m playing. I don’t want to risk being connected to someone randomly.

I want to get the opinion how casino deal with this kind of situation. If you caught up on this messed up situation, how can you possibly defend yourself to online casino operators?
I don't think it will have any effect. Because every time you log in using a different network & device you will definitely be asked for verification to ensure that it is really you who is logging in.
However, there are several online gambling sites that implement a sudden policy if you win the jackpot. Either cancel your winnings or freeze your account because it is considered suspicious activity.
But to avoid spying via public WiFi, it's better not to use it for gambling. Especially if it's your main account with a fairly large amount of capital.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 01, 2024, 07:37:26 PM
It is really amazing that Kane has been able to score almost half the amount of Bayern Munich's goals in the league so far.  Smiley  He is simply the most important player for the team at the moment, the main goal source.

Therefore Bayern Munich had better hope he doesn't pick up a long-running injury in the rest of the season either. Because his presence is very critical for them not only in the Bundesliga but also the Champions League. There is technically a possibility for them to win both titles this season. But they will need to work really hard for that. Leverkusen are their biggest opponent here and they need to improve their performance in the Champions League on one hand.
Harry Kane's arrival at Bayern Munich since the start of the season has been something that is worth discussing now because his experience and maturity as a striker is very capable of breaking through the ambitions needed by Bayern Munich. It is not surprising that Bayern Munich's striker options up to now only depend on him and if he is absent due to a card or long-term injury, of course that will put Bayern Munich in a difficult phase.

It's not easy to be the axis of attack for a team as big as Bayern Munich and now Bayern Munich can't roam freely in the Bundesliga this season because the top spot it usually occupies has now been taken over by Leverkusen. Not only did it last a short time, but Leverkusen's acquisition lasted quite a long time, especially as they never experienced a single defeat. The Bundesliga and Champions League titles are still within reach, but Bayern Munich cannot focus on one of these competitions considering that other teams continue to compete with their opportunities, especially the Bundesliga.

Unfortunately, Harry Kane has reached a mature age, which means that Munich cannot make him a long-term projection.
Therefore, they must also have another fertile striker option for Kane's position as a goal contributor. At least he has the attributes of a complete striker like Kane.
Moreover, they will be busy with busy schedules for the domestic and champions leagues, where the risk of players getting injured will increase.

I think Munich's dominance this season has started to decline with Leverkusen's style of being more able to win with a balanced portion of players.
In contrast to Munich which is very strong in relying on Harry Kane. In fact, this is the same as when Lewandowski was the backbone of Munich for the previous seasons.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: January 01, 2024, 06:05:39 PM
How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..

I have successfully brought in four people into crypto gambling, and it was the easiest thing ever, they came asking if it's possible to use crypto for gambling and I said yes, but I told them that I am not ready to introduce any platform for anyone, but these guys then showed me there past gambles on a local website that only accept Fiat, that's when I got soft with them and I showed them the websites I use for gambling.

The thing is, they are small time winners and big time losers, I mean they lose more than winning, it's been two weeks and two of them tell me about their loss and gains, but they make it feel normal, to them it really is, not like the crypto investors today, always in hurry to double their money, some are even scared of investing in Bitcoin, which is the safest of them all.

There are several friends, maybe around 7-8 people who I have invited to play at online casinos. And they like it because it can be done anywhere without having to go to offline casinos.
But there is an interesting thing, namely that they feel they can express whatever they want when playing, whether they are winning or losing.
This is impossible to do in offline casinos, because security can drag you out because they are considered disturbing the game.

But I have to admit, they have a better mentality because they have often experienced defeat. That has become normal and normal. In line with your statement.
They don't feel burdened when they win or lose, this factor also makes it easier for them to adapt to online casinos.
215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 01, 2024, 05:38:12 PM
Arda Guler has been expected to be in Real Madrid squad for the Mallorca game so far and I hope this doesn't change again. This is a game he can finally have a chance in for the first time. Ancelotti would keep him on the bench until securing the win by a decent score. After that maybe for 10 minutes or less we might see him on the pitch.

I don't think he has had his time with injuries completely. Real Madrid must have been working on his physique to be better on one hand. He has a good talent but as long as we don't see him on the pitch it doesn't matter unfortunately.  Sad

If he gets the chance to play in the match against Mallorca, he must show the quality of his game. some fans are talking about him, he is one of Madrid's young talents. if he can play well, he will be a star with Madrid in the future.
I don't think 10 minutes will be enough for such a young player. The start of the second half might be enough opportunity for him to show his game.
It has quite large potential. Because at only 18 years old (currently) he is already at a big club like Real Madrid. And of course Real Madrid has done a lot of research before finally placing their hopes on this young player. Well, I hope he can return to playing on the field. I think whatever minutes he is given that opportunity could be a good start. And yes, he really has to show his best game when he gets the chance. Because competition at a big club like Real Madrid is really quite difficult. Because if the player cannot show his excellence in playing then he must be prepared to sit on the bench more. If only he had not suffered an injury before then perhaps he would have contributed a lot to Real Madrid for a long time.

There are important things that I remember about Arda Guler while in Madrid. He has been injured 3 times in 6 months without making his official debut.
But I saw in footage during training with the Real Madrid squad that he was very good, this shows that the injury factor did not reduce his performance at all.
I think he's a talented kid, and Real Madrid's scouting team is quite brilliant.

I can't wait to see his debut against Mallorca, whether it will be directly proportional to his performance in training.
Because his position could be an option for a creative midfielder at Real Madrid apart from Modric, Bellingham and Valverde.
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: December 31, 2023, 09:29:35 PM
There are no guarantees for gambling predictions, whatever they are. I don't think it's a prediction, but it's an instinct.
Not everyone is given good enough instincts to gamble. It depends on how much experience they have gambling.

Take for example the game Blackjack, it can indeed be calculated statistically.
But can we predict 100% or less than 90%? Of course not, because we don't know whether the dealer is also playing.
Because in reality there is no gambling game that is purely honest, the algorithm will always change according to conditions.

No one enjoys losing in gambling.Losing brings our hopes down, it ushers in emotional pain and grumpiness whereas, winning elevates our mood, bringing happiness and excitement. There are games where I have won and after withdrawing my winnings, I am so happy that I give gifted some of it to people around me. This doesn't last for long once the it is out of my hand and minds. I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?


Losing makes people even more addicted to continuing to play until they win.
The excitement will last until you bet again. When you start betting again it will cause feelings of anxiety.
It is not certain how long it will take because we cannot predict everything.

It is natural that altcoins will always trail bitcoin, that cannot be denied. It depends on how each altcoin developer can make their altcoin stand alone without being dependent on the name Bitcoin.
With the current instability of bitcoin, it is proven that every day there are new people who are interested in reading about bitcoin and starting to study it seriously.

At the break of the new year season, Leverkusen managed to become number 1. It seems that they are the main competitor of Bayern Munich for the championship. The league is off and resumes in 2 weeks. I read a rumor in the Indonesian media that Arsenal wants to buy a Munich defender. Arsenal want De Ligt to add strength to the defense. De Ligt was a regular choice last season and is starting to get left out.
Tuchell prefers Kim paired with Upamecano. This season he has started many games from the reserves. At 24 years old De Ligt is a potentially strong defender. Long-term progress is certainly an interesting option. But I'm not sure Munich will let him go. He is the best asset with his age and current condition.


It is a shame that De Ligt rarely gets the trust of the Munich coach, even though De Ligt's game determination is quite capable at domestic league and Champions League level.
He was played more in the second half by Tuchell. I think Arsenal will compete with Real Madrid to get De Ligt's services, considering that Madrid is currently being hit by a storm of center back players.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. on: December 30, 2023, 08:19:57 PM
Yes because they gamble for the purpose of winning some money.
How much money they expect until they are satisfied we also cannot predict. Because everyone has different ambitions.
Therefore, it is necessary to control your reasoning when gambling so that you are not lulled by addictive desires.

Maybe many of us have won big in gambling but haven't been able to stop playing.
In my opinion, the best strategy is to hit n run when you win. That way the level of frustration will decrease slightly.
