Beating a club, does seem easy for elite clubs this present days? I'm not going to bluff, this season have become the best title competition in bundesliga in the past decades because the rivalry for the Bavarians have grown beyond expectations, they're even the ones topping accompany by unbeaten records this season. There are clubs that will face Bayer Leverkusen or Bayern Munich, it will not be decided because these oppositions doesn't have what it takes to thrashed the elite clubs who are 100% strong and have targets to achieved this season.
The bundesliga this season took a very different shape such that even the elite teams are not finding it easy just getting points they literally have to work hard well enough to earn every point, the teams who weren't considered elite are now at the top of the table with an unbeaten record and possibly soon may winding the point margin.

The Bavarians will have to further win more matches els they will be left behind by their biggest rival this season, another team that may later turn a good contender soon will lay between Stuttgart and Dortmund, both teams are Also doing well so far and are most likely to get to the top of the table soon, if only they consistently win their games in the next fixtures, this season it's most likely the Bavarians may loose their dominance and the competition is intensed more than it used to be before.

The match will happen in Copenhagen's home, I expect it's either draw or Copenhagen to win since Copenhagen was able to win against Galatasaray in Copenhagen's home and draw against Bayern Munich in Copenhagen's home.

I think we will agree neither Galatasaray or Copenhagen win the match, they're not going to become a champion. But since Galatasaray is more familiar, I'm rooting for Copenhagen this time.
So far Copenhagen appears to have more chance than Galatasaray does going by the records so far, having beaten Galatasaray in their home before and also drew against Bayern Munich at the point where Bayern Munich needed a win most, when they were yet to qualify, so most likely it is that Copenhagen isn't a weak team.

Galatasaray have been doing so well aswell, I never expected this group to be this tough as it's turning out to be, initially I felt that since Bayern Munich and Manchester united appeared like the strongest with better team strength, they would most likely win at ease and be in-between the first and second position on the table but then it turned out otherwise that Manchester united now seem like the weakest amongst the and Copenhagen and Galatasaray seem to be putting up the best fight to finishing at the second position.

The impact of injuries to key players at Tottenham Hotspurs has been felt and clearly seen in the last few matches, but despite this, Tottenham Hotspurs can still return to reach a better position after their key players recover from injuries. Because there is still plenty of time for Tottenham Hotspurs to improve their position this season, even though Tottenham Hotspurs have to fight harder to get to a better position through the matches they will face in the next match.
It has been a roller coaster for Tottenham ever since they suffered these injuries with their players, their performance has drop so well even tho they try to get good number of goals from some games, they still find it difficult winning these games probably because of the absence of these players who could have helped them strengthen their defense line and all that.

Sometimes I really feel for their coach, considering he won the manager of the month three times this season consecutively and now he has to suffer some set back as this, this could somehow tell on his psychology and probably get him to be less productive but then in sure the return of the injured players will be a great strength for them as they will be able to make up for all the time they lost and get back strong on their feet again.

Tottenham are in dire straits right now. The team's performance at the start of the season surprised everyone. The team was at the top of the table for a long time. But they did not win in the last 5 matches. Lost 4 out of 5 matches and drew 1 match. Important players of the team cannot be in the squad due to injuries. This is why the team lost the truck. And now Tottenham's performance is very bad. The team may not even be in the top four of the table. In a few days, we will see the Tottenham team in the sixth or seventh place of the table.
Tottenham is really in a poor shape recently, unlike before they were very firm and did performed so well in the season such that we all taught for once they would dare to contend for the league title but now it turned out they are not in such form again to be able to contend, they will literally struggle for top four in the nearest future if they continue in this form.

Manchester city seem to also suffer almost same fate as they have not been in their best form recently wit several draws which makes it seem like they are not playing their best again, I wonder if Manchester city will still get to the top of the table soonest again, because the point difference is widening such that they will need a series of wins to make up for it and it currently doesn't look like the top teams are going to loose point soon enough to give them a chance at their current form.

So you mean gambling is completely luck based and doesn't require much skill? I like to bet more on sports then here my luck will help me win the bet or my skill will help me win. I think your winnings depend a lot on your skill in sports betting. If I don't have skills then I will pick my team and consider which player will do better or which team will win by scoring more goals. The way I bet on sports I feel like I need more skill in betting than luck. There are some casinos that may be completely luck based, but I don't want to risk money like this by relying solely on luck, I'll focus on my own skill and then rely on luck.
It really doesn't require much skill but has a lot to do with luck. Your skill plays a little role which definitely doesn't guarantee winning, because skills doesn't guarantee winning, I don't think there's a need to think that skill really is so much relevant in winning, it's most likely luck does the most than skill does when it has to do with winning.

Skills only helps you predetermine and manage your risk but then luck helps you win the game so both comes in handy buy doesn't guarantee wins. Both are required to give you an edge that gives you a greater Chance to win than you would loose but the. Sometimes we would wan to think that its more of skill, this is because most times it looks like skill does better or increase our Chance to win and we tend to forget the place of luck because we are some point feel we are now professional at the game.

Futures trading and gambling are completely similar. Just as money lost in futures trading cannot be recovered, money lost betting on gambling platforms cannot be recovered. But in this case I will not involve spot trading because spot trading is completely different from futures trading. Even if you lose by spot trading, there is a possibility of recovery later. Here one can never imagine permanent income in business and gambling because business and gambling can never bring permanent income and make a person rich.
I do not agree with you on this, if you have got the knowledge well enough and you understand what you are doing in futures trading them I'm sure you definitely will not think of it as gamble, it only turns out gamble when you are not sure of that which you are doing and you are dependent on lucky to win your trade.

In futures trading we understand that the volatility there is very high hence it could possibly get you to profit quickly and can also liqudate you almost immediately aswell but what gives you an edge in the market is your skill and risk management where you predetermine your risk even before you get on any trade buy with gambling you don't need all they much to het on a stake and probably turn out lucky to win so they are both different things but your approach is what makes it looks similar.

Having someone in form of a therapist or family member may go a little way far in helping through, but we also have to consider how effective this could be on the intended gambler being the target, is such a gambler willing and ready to yield to everyone necessary steps efforts rendered on him towards having a change and renewal of mind, or are we the only one too concerned about having this change come through when the gambler himself is not willing to experience it.
A therapist is a professional help I I think nits usually the best you can get to handle cases such as addiction especially when it turns out you want to quit, they have better guide and option on how to help you through to getting to quit properly, although family members and probably friends and others may help in a way buy nor like with a therapist.

And just like you rightly stated, a great percentage of the journey to quiring have a lot to do with the gamblers decisions, if there's a conscious and intentional effort by the gambler to wanting to quit then I think a greater percentage of the problem is almost solved because at this point he will be willing to take every possible steps required or recommended to help quit buy then ita not going to be an easy one buy with a therapist or will be easier and faster than it will be with friends and family helping out.

Manchester City has already lost the Premier League trophy because I don't believe Liverpool or Arsenal will lose matches now because if they lose or draw a match, Manchester City will have an opportunity to top the league table, but I believe Arsenal will try their hardest to stay in that top position without dropping down because I believe Arsenal will win the league trophy this season, and it has been a long time since Arsenal has won the Premier League title, and I believe this season is their best chance to win the league because if they don't win the league this season, I'm not sure they will win it again.

Because how Manchester City is playing now I don't think they can even qualify for the Champions League next season, they are already in the top four and Tottenham are performing well and they can force Manchester city to drop from fourth to fifth in the table, the coach should just try to buy new players in January transfers, because they have difficult matches to play.
.
Not under gardiouls watch will it be recorded that Manchester city failed to qualify for the UCL, the defending champions, I don't care how bad Manchester city is playing currently but I won't agree with you on ruling them out , rhey are definitely going to get back on their feet soonest as they are experiencing what is common with every team.

It's normal that even big teams at some point in the league suffers down time and definitely recover after some time and get back on their feet. Moreover there's more time in the premier league so it will be too hasty to judge from this moment. Arsenal last season did had a down time buy it was sad they had theirs when they were very much close to victory and before they could recover th season was over buy with Manchester city I doubt if gardioula will allow them stay thst long before getting back on their feet.

Apart from Barcelona vs Girona, actually Betis vs Real Madrid will also be interesting. Real Madrid should have won if we look at the strength of their squad and their consistency. But on the other hand, Betis is playing at their home ground and will definitely support everything so they can beat or even surpass Real Madrid. However, I personally still believe that Madrid can win.
I personally think that most persons are of the opinion thst Real Madrid will definitely win betis,and thats why more attention has not been given to that game when come to discussion and speculations. But then real Madrid will most likely be faced with a game that will be slightly hard but I'm optimistic they will most likely win.

Barcelona on the other hand has in recent times shown some weakness I'm their performance which have further casued some attention to be focused on them because they definitely want to know how well Barcelona will be able to perform against Girona who have aswell kept good record so far in the bundesliga and are definitely presented as a strong team due to their recent performance in the la Liga this season.

I have seen some facial expression gamblers that I am emotionally touched about and feels they have loosed more than they can handle and feels they deserves an condolence winning. While I empathic with him his amount of lost, I am then to consoling myself that someone on here has lost more than I do.

This is exactly how some gamblers runs out of gambling budgets and goes bankrupt because they fails to figure what their net worth or incomes value is.

They are basically to believe one who lost $20 has lost more to them who looses $10.
Many gamblers have this tendency where they gamble depending on the losses of others without thinking about their own losses. If one gambler gets the big jackpot, there is no advantage over the other gambler, in the same way no one get advantages from loss. So I think it's stupid if gambler loses money on his bets and takes solace from seeing the amount others have lost. I will be responsible for my gambling. It should be remembered that my financial situation and his condition are not the same so one should not always bet more than he can afford to lose. One should  not also compare with others gambling loss.
Well said! when it comes to gambling, it is better to focus on your own bankroll, winnings, losses and your own strategy. I never advice to look others situations because I do believe that we have our own path. You have to be responsible in your own actions and do not compare yourself to others because it will lead you to pressure and questioning your self confidence.
Focusing on others probably to sympathize with them or probably to console them dose no good as that will not help them het back their money neither will it help them win their next trial so it's mostly of no use trying to console or sypatize with them unnecessarily room long enough.

It's only reasonable to learn from others mistakes buy not dwelling on them because it has no positive impact as to helping you getting better at your game, its just proper you improve your performance by learning from these mistakes and help your strategy become better and manage your risk even better knowing how well it could affect your bankroll if you are not careful well enough with your management strategy.

Will Leverkusen next week remain strong in the match against VfB Stuttgart later, because Stuttgart was in their best performance in the previous week, this will be a fierce battle in the next match, of course both teams don't want to lose points in the next match, Of course, if Leverkusen loses, of course Bayern Munich will be in first place, if they win against Eintracht Frankfurt then their points will remain the same, namely 35 points. Leverkusen only lost on goal difference, if Stuttgart wins the next match of course the points will be narrower (smaller) with a difference of 2 points. Of course, if the difference in points between teams gets smaller, the opportunity is wide open for anyone to win the league this year.
Personally I have also at some point had same fears for Leverkusen in their availability to further win other games ahead so as to stay at the top of the league and hope to win the title, soon it will appear that Bayern Munich will not be the only team that would pose a big challenge to Leverkusen buy some other teams roo.

Stuttgart has in their most recent performance showed some brilliance which indicates thst they are not to be considered weak team at all, their next meeting will indeed be a though one as both teams will definitely not give a chance at each other, buy then at this point, both teams still have a good chance of been at the top of the table, and the chance for anyone to win the league ttle is still very much open regardless of their current positions especially those within the top four as the point difference isn't that wide enough.

New castle seem to be finding it difficult to getting a goal against everton, it's already passed 30 minutes of the first half and it's currently looking like it's going to end a goalless first half buy so far , Newcastle had been dominating with possession and attempts in the games so far which looks like they could possibly get a goal soon.

Newcastle as usual has got a very good performance which could earn them a win but the home team continually puts up a strong resistance against them such that they have not been able to get a goal but then hopefully Newcastle will be able to get three points by the end of the match and further climb up the table with twenty seven points, buy then for a team who are at the relegation I didn't expect Newcastle to find I'd difficult getting a goal in this match.
2253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: December 07, 2023, 05:56:28 PM
That's completely true, gambling we know is about luck and chances, you need em both, having the skill can only increase your chances of winning, give you some sort of advantage than when you don't have the skill at all even as it doesn't guarantee you of winning. Which makes gambling so unpredictable or should I say very difficult for everyone. And yes Card Games are totally a different case with a different approach, you're playing with a real person and you don't have to depend on someone else's strength or skill to help you win but your own and that's why it's good to be skilled in that aspect.
The place of skills in gambling can't be over looked, because it's an edge which will definitely help you at some point and further interest your chances bof winning or probably keep you consistent with wins unlike when you totally depend on luck to wi, you make your chances more slim with sole dependence on luck for winning.

A good combination of both skill and luck her you wining and stay consistent are winning, regardless of the uncertinties  that surrounds gambling. With card games, the approach is undeniably different, in that case you could tell the emotions and probably predict the possible move of your opponent especially when you are playing with some one live. Buy regardless neither skill nor luck guarantee winning so you just have to play and stay expectant.

Except the money is is needed urgently to take care of an urgent need on ground, it's advised you allow the money stay in your wallet, because the charges are currently room high and in some cases you may spend almost half of your funds trying to place a withdrawal on the same fund buy then I'd you leave the money for this period you can het it latwr when the charges are down.

Most gambling sites have the challenge of this transaction fee as it's beyond their powers, especially with funding , which lies within the exchange to regulate the charges on every transactions. Buy if you already have some crypto in your gambling wallet, you could choose to further Gamble with it so it increases by your wins and that way you get enough to pay for your transaction fee. Buy then you can still leave your coins there although thats a very risky idea because gambling wallet could be hacked.
2255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 07, 2023, 05:34:10 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.
This experience isn't new to gamblers as most of them do face similar thing just like you stated, both on their winning days and their loosing days aswell, they experience such mood swings and don't have to ability to properly hand it such that in some cases it turns out they get to cause damages to things around resulting from anger.

I think in oder to still maintain a stable mind amidst all this, a gambler should learn to stake what they can comfortably afford to loose, most time people who gwt to suffer such mood swings that resulted from losses is because they had stake an amount they weren't expecting to loose so if it turns out they are not lucky with the game, they become very angry and run violent in some cases due to their loss. If you stake an amount you don't find room dare to you, you will be able to maintain your frame regardless of the outcome so others don't get to suffer.

The season is still long and there are still many matches that will be played by these two teams so I am also quite confident that Juventus will continue to perform quite well this season in Serie A. Because apart from Juventus not having pressure in other competitions, Juventus will also not ignoring every opportunity they could take advantage of this season to continue chasing Inter Milan at the top of the current standings. Even though Inter Milan itself is still performing quite well so far, if one of the key players is injured, I doubt Inter Milan will continue to improve as it is now.
Juventus is now in a good form as compared to their form at the start of the season which almost everyone were not fine with, this was because it was clear they had just one league to participate in her they did flop at the start of the season and made some persons almost lost confidence in them to think they'll get to the top of the table soonest.

I'm very optimistic about inter Milan, they aswell have been really good in their performance a d their strength aswell is one to reckon with, most likely they may turn out one of the biggest contender Juventus will have to overcome to be able to win the title by the end of the season. Inter Milan is participating in other league aswell so this .ay be their challenge why they wouldn't be as focused as Juventus will be in the serie a this season. The greatest challenge either of both team may face will be injuries buy if they don't suffer this anytime soon then they can be sure to do well with thei performance.

Marseille is a strong team so it is natural that Lyon cannot recover in this match.
Lyon this season is quite surprising, now they are at the bottom of the standings, so if you look at this team's journey since the start of the season then there is no good chance of them being able to recover unless this team improves on a large scale by bringing in new players in the January transfer market. , otherwise I think it would be almost impossible for them to rise.
Marseille isn't a completely strong team, I would rather place them amongst the average team in the Ligue 1, but playing against Lyon they did appear like a team they should be considered strong because they are playing against a considerably weak team who has not been doing well entirely in the Ligue 1 this season.

I wasn't expecting any less from Marseille neither was I expecting more from Lyon because some how the strength of both teams were obviously clear even before the match begun and Lyon has continued with their struggle at the bottom of the table keeping them very pron to relegation by the end of the season, especially if it runs out they are unable to get above the bottom position on the table. Their only chance to get pass relegation will be a drastic series of improvement which will be accompanied by a minimum of winning four of five games and this can be possible if they make good use of the January transfer window well enough.

This match is very important for both the teams. Both teams have won 3 out of 5 matches. They are on the points table with equal points. Either way they have to win the next match. Players from both teams will fight hard for victory. I have also seen quite consistent performances from West and Freiburg players in the last few matches. When the players are confident it is easier to win the match. This match is likely to be very competitive. It is very difficult to predict which team will win. For this reason, I will not bet on this match.
It's very true that the confidence of players have a lot to do with how well they will perform in any match because if they don't have the winning mindset and their confidence isn't in the best form, they will definitely under perform probably because they will feel pressured to play and wouldn't be stable playing.

West ham and Freiburg are both average team with average performance so far, and this applies both in their domestic league and here in the Europa buy I think west ham looks more like the favourite because they are from an English side of which is considered that they are in a more competitive league than the french league which happens to be the domestic league of Freiburg, never the less I'm sure both team will not find it easy as they have both performed well so far I'm the Europa and they can both be considered not weak buy the home team may be at more advantage in this game.
2259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 07, 2023, 04:19:38 PM
What Leverkusen has shown so far certainly makes the Bayern team a little wary because Leverkusen is a team that is unbeaten to date and their performance is quite consistent so there is no reason for Bayern to put aside its focus on Bundesliga matches and choose the UCL. I think a team as big as Bayern must be able to adjust between the two competitions and I am sure that the Bayern Team is targeting both so that they must be able to give their best in the Bundesliga matches and UCL matches.
Leverkusen is currently one of the biggest and roughest contender when placed side by side with Bayern Munich buy then they are yet to take out Bayern Munich well enough to scary been lax and think they have done well enough because I'm sure Bayern Munich is definitely going to do a come back to the top of the league table.

This will happen if Leverkusen drops point again at any point, Bayern Munich will not stop to cease every opportunity to reclaim their dominance In the bundesliga again this season buy then they have another tough league game to tackle which happens to be the UCL and I think it will in a way affect their performance because bot the bundesliga and the UCL is currently very competitive so they may be fatigued are some point resulting from the stretch they will face from both leagues never the less I see this as a big opportunity for Leverkusen if only they maintain their consistency.

But they (Girona) can take advantage of the not-so-good situation that Barcelona is currently facing. Barcelona have problems at several points, and if Girona can analyze them well then they will be able to find their weak points and exploit them in this match.
Girona must anticipate Barcelona's attacking moves well, so far their midfield has been working well. And when their midfield is suppressed, Barcelona will find it difficult to develop their game. I think that will be something that will affect the outcome of the match.
This has been my taughts aswell as it regards the match between Girona mad Barcelona buy Girona have a slight disadvantage which has to be with the fact that they will be hosted by Barcelona. Capitalizing on Barcelona's weakness is the greatest advantage Girona can het buy before then, they will have to identify the weakness to be able to use it.

Girona will really have it difficult getting pass Barcelona midfield, that seem like their stronghold and they have got some good attacking moves especially if they have jao Felix and lweandoski at the attacking line then hironas defense theo strong, may be in trouble, they will have to further tighten their defense as these players are creative enough to penetrate and get pass the defense line . I expect a rough game for girona buy have no person in particular as favourite.
