Mainz had better chances of winning yesterday but it did looked like they were unlucky as they missed a penalty kick , they were leading in the first half of the match but weren't able to further protect their goal well enough not to concede a goal from their host Hoffenheim

I expected Mainz would be able to get another goal as their first goal came in early enough to raise expectations for another before the match ends but it turns out the home team were under pressure from their fans not to get another loss at home again after previous losses at home too this season Hoffenheim were fortunate to get a point, by the end of the game, while Mainz remain unbeaten under Siewert and can further stay confidence from this performance as against their forth coming games.

Manchester city so far leading with 12 points in the  group G is a guaranteed qualification for them even if it turns out they loose or draw their next two games, Leipzig aswell at the second position will seal their qualifications in their next fixture against Manchester city.

If they draw they will still maintain their second position with ten points but then regardless if the lose against Manchester city they still stands a better chance as young boys and crevena have got just one point each so far they will aswell be playing against each other in their next fixture and young boys looks like they stand a better chance to win but may end up at the Europa if they fail to qualify for the next round of the UCL.
2323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 27, 2023, 08:51:34 AM

Not only can gambling ruin your finances, it can also ruin your mental health. Yes, the dream of a big win is appealing, but how things really are often is not what we expect. Remember that casinos arent built on people winning, but on people losing a lot of money. The feeling of being in charge can be very appealing, right?

We must not see gambling as a way to get rich, but as a way to have fun with a cost. Like when you buy a movie ticket, you pay for the thrill and the tension. Setting limits is important; see it as a hobby, not a way to make money. Can we change how we think so that losses aren't seen as mistakes but as the price of fun? Switching to this way of gambling might be better for you, but it will be hard.
Some persons get to learn the hard way the fact that gambling can ruin them that much, they literally get ruined in both their finance and mental he's before they now think towards applying caution to their gambling habit so as to mitigate the damage already but it turns out late in some cases.

Gambling shouldn't be regarded as a means of getting rich or a source of getting money rather it should been seem as an entertainment that will cost you a fee like you rightly described, I think if most gambler's begin to see it in such light they become better off gambling because just like the movie ticket you know when to stop and go home because you have had enough of the entertainment but in gambling because they are hoping to get something out it, they seem not to know when to stop.
2324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 27, 2023, 08:42:22 AM

I think rich or poor doesn't matter. The only thing matter is that who has enough resources to overcome the losses. Obviously the riches. They can try different games, different strategy to minimize their looses. But when it comes to poor, they don't get enough chances. They are goes under and unable to play in just some games. That's the greatest advantage rich has, the ability to do multiple bets.
I agree with you, the availability of the resources to stay longer betting until they turn out lucky is one great Advantage the rich have got over the poor and this Also applies to their staking power and strategy, the rich just stays at advantage with all the listed because of the available resources.

Some strategy give the probability in percentage and for the rich who has got enough resources it makes sense they earn their profits in percentages as compared to the poor if they are to get their profits in percentage it will look too small and insignificant hence they would rather do multiples and put their selfs at risk of loosing because they have got higher odds reducing their chances to win further below expectations.
2325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: November 27, 2023, 08:27:35 AM
This is the good thing when it comes to gambling, there's no age restriction up to when you can gamble or not.
So long you have your own money and have the motivation to play, why not?
But yes, I believe when someone is getting older, they just look at this facet of their life as just to entertain or enjoy their life.
Not because they are chasing their winnings but because they just want to pass time and be laid back with their life.
Actually there's a an age restriction depending on your country of residency and this ranges from 18+ and above but beyond this age is no further restrictions. Provided you are above the minimum age you continue to gamble until you no longer want to engage in gambling.

At older age some persons choose a different kind of entertainment aside gambling because they would want to reduce the emotional rush that comes with this kind of entertainment except they still find it suiting then they may consider continuing but then it will have to cost them some money. For gamblers who has gambled in the greater part of their youthful years may want to continue even at old age.

Honestly, this is a very difficult time for Tottenham players and their fans. The scenario is just like someone that move from grace to grass because wining manager of the month for three times in a row to losing three matches in a row is very disappointing and surprisingly, Tottenham has been the first scorer in any of those games if I'm not mistaken. I think their defense is also contributing to this as they seems to be too porous and the forwarders feel too relaxed. We all thought Tottenham is ready to contend for the league tittle this season and we praise them but they suddenly want to shatter that hope. The worst part of it is playing against Manchester city in their next EPL game. I don't see them getting point from that game as well after maintaining unbeaten for the first ten games. What a hard time for them!
Loosing three matches in a row is really disappointing for a team that started up so well at the beginning of the season, they literally had a goal in every match they played and in most of them they turned out the first scorer until their current decline in performance.

I'm sure Tottenham players mentality will gradually be on the decline due to their recent performance, Manchester city will stop at nothing to get a win except they will be able to brace up and improve their performance els the Spurs may be suffering another loss but then I keep wondering why Tottenham has such decline recently. Since after the game against Chelsea they are yet to recover.

The yellow submarine got sunk by Rodrygo's brace yesterday after which Bellingham added to the score and sealed the victory for Los Blancos. The first half ended in the favour of Los Blancos leading by two goals and Cadiz unable to get a goal despite playing from home.

Although I didn't expect any less for Real Madrid because they have been brilliant even against bigger teams so for an average team it's expected they win them, I was expecting a good resistance from Cadiz yesterday but it turned out even in their home they were still not able to resist the visitors enough to reduce the number of goals concede but then the visitors were a better contender in form and strength.

It's true that Liverpool is Europe's top team and they have a pretty good mentality, but this is a Europa League competition which is full of surprises, so I think even though Liverpool are favorites to win the title this season, their percentage is not that big.
I still remember last season how Arsenal were the favorites to win the Europa League but in reality they had to leave early, maybe the same goes for Liverpool this season especially since they also have to focus on the fierce competition in the Premier League in the race for the title.
Liverpool is the favourite to win the Europa this season due to their performance so far in the Europa and their domestic league aswell, considering that they look like almost the only biggest team  so far in the Europa this season except for a few team.

Liverpool's mentality is focused on winning the Europa this season because it looks like an opportunity for them to win the league this season, Liverpool is very much aware of the competition in the premier league of which they are still doing well there regardless so I don't think they will really be having issues at the Europa except when they will be joined by teams from the UCL , they may experience a bit of tough times but if they get past it then they can be sure to make to winning the league titles.

It seems PSG is on fire and this means, this going to be a hard match for Newcastle to stand against this team. PSG scored five goals against Monaco while PSG usually had problems beating Monaco also Monaco was recently in the good form, I think if Newcastle starts to play defensively in this match they are going to lose the game even worse than Monaco.

Newcastle aswell isn't a weak team and also looks like they come back in a better form from the international break, winning there match yesterday against Chelsea with a big goal margin which turns out big enough shows that they are prepared enough for the UCL too.

Although if Chelsea is compare with PSG they wouldn't turn out better but then Newcastle winning them have helped their confidence and readiness to face PSG in the champions league which I'm almost sure neither team will find it easy to get a win because not only are both team strong but it's a crucial game for both teams as it will have a great determinant effect on them as it concerns if they will be able to qualify for the next stage of the UCL.

However, Manchester united really played a good game in this match all thanks to Alejandro Garnacho who started the score sheet earlier before Markus Rashford penalty kick and Anthony martial sealed the win by 3:0. By this win, Manchester united has now moved to the sixth position in the league table and 6 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

The performance Manchester united had yesterday was brilliant, after garnachos goal I could see their confidence improved and they did played even more confidentiality than they did at the start of the game, Alejandro Garnacho turned out the man of the match by his goal.

Asides the goal Garnacho scored, his general performance in that match was really excellent, there's a problem of in consistency with Manchester united and that has been the reason they are six points behind the table top but they can still make it to the top if only they can win two more game but this will have to mean that the table toppers will have to losses two consecutive matches which I doubt will be possible but then there's still some time for Manchester united to go a step higher on the table before the season ends.

Juventus seem to be struggling against inter Milan, the whole game has been characterized with so much nod defensive tactics, since after the first 33 minutes of the game when inter Milan got an equalizer, no go has been scores again by both teams.

Juventus had the first gaol and not long enough Inter Milan had their equalizer and it taught the game will be characterized with plenty of goals by virtue of the goals coming in early already but it turned out on the contrary that booth team seem to be protecting their goals so as not to further concede any goal, although I expected a tough game between both team but the early goals gave me a second taught that they could possibly get more goal than I taught earlier.
2332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 26, 2023, 08:48:51 PM
Ganacho scored an epic, classy and very brilliant goal today, all thanks to the unorganized defense of Everton, their defense almost had no rythm like that of Manchester united before, they made several attempts but lacked the creativity to convert them into a goal.

Everton needs consistency if they must be able to further go up the league table but then the red devils had a lucky day today because Everton were unable to get goals, Manchester united successful got three points and further moved up the table, Im still optimistic Manchester united will finish top four this season and be able to qualify for the UCL next season hopefully but they will need more wins to be able to get that.

Logically it might be considered inappropriate, but in reality it is proven and done. Even though it is done secretly so as not to be discovered, some governments also enjoy the proceeds from gambling taxes that are deposited.
We are only ordinary people, of course we will obey and comply with this.
Provided they pay their tax and they are very much taxable, the government will be more focused on that benefits they derive from the gambling houses so they just get their tax and let them do their business until it turns out their business turns out a menace to the society.

Even taxes on the workers in these gambling house are something the government will not reject because they will be beneficial to them, they only put out regulations to making sure these gambling house or sites are not defaulting within the rules of operations in that region but then it turns out that there are some of them that appears illegal but the are still taxed and you have got no influence against them because the government benefits from them.
2334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy with unusual/strange gambling sites on: November 26, 2023, 07:33:12 PM
That is a good advice to try new, strange or unusual gambling platforms with low amounts of money to test first, so you don't lose a considerable sum of your funds for a potential scam scheme. However, keep in mind that scammers might be also aware about this method used by gamblers, so they do allow small withdrawals without any issues and at any time, but as soon as you start trying to cashout higher sums of money, they don't pay you. This is a possibility, and a very common practice among ponzi schemes, which operate on the same model of a scam casino, which doesn't profit from the bets customers make, but from seizing the deposits made by them.
Trying new and strange sites with little amount sounds good but then it should be amount you are willing to forfeit should it turn out that you are una able to get access to your funds probably after funding and placing a bet because some of this sites without reputation can be sometimes very funny.

I personally don't even give them a trial until I make sure they don't have restrictions that for what reason so ever I can't access my funds before proceeding to fund my account, if they made KYC mandatory, then I will have to see if I'm comfortable with their KYC requirements then I will try them out but otherwise I don't usually try out new and strange sites I prefer to stick with the reputable once know to me already.

Gambling is something that one should know his limit and when to stop, some people are just in the lost that everytime they try out their habit in gambling they are going to win a big amount which is obviously the trap that is behind someone becoming addicted to gambling.
Exactly, this is one of the biggest challenge of most gamblers, knowing their limit is something most of them don't know, they just gamble until they have exhausted all they have got in their wallet before they will eventually stop and sometimes they turn out broke.

This has a lot to do with self discipline because they are not discipline enough so they can't definitely control themselves especially when they have turn out to becoming addicts resulting from their continuous gambling without restrains. This is why it's always important these casinos always emphasis on responsible gambling because they know how well reckless gambling could impact on their customers.

Heidenheim and Bochum ended in a goalless draw, so far I would wan to say that Heidenheim has really been brilliant for a team that was just promoted because one will expect that they will be beaten by almost every team they will come across in the bundesliga.

Considering the competition in the bundesliga currently Bochum did performed poorly and below expectations I taught they would at least get a goal even if it must end in a draw a goalless draw looked very poor. Bochum still stays at the fourteenth position a step below Heidenheim of which if they continually perform this poor they may most likely fall to the relegation but they were much better than this last season.

For the Galatasaray v Manchester United match on Wednesday I can comfortably say that it will be the decider on which side will make it to last 16 stage.

Let's say Galatasaray managed to win just as they did in Old Trafford. And at the same time Copenhagen lost to Bayern Munich in Germany. In that case Galatasaray would nearly guarantee qualifying from the group mathematically. Their last match is even against Copenhagen. Only one point would be enough for them there. But let's see first if Galatasaray will be able to become the winner again in the upcoming matchup.  Smiley
Manchester united knowing how crucial it is I'm sure they will fight hard with all they have got to making sure they win or get a draw, although a draw wouldn't do any much for them but then it will keep them at a better advantage than a loss would do.

Bayern Munich may most likely win Copenhagen because they are better than Copenhagen in strength and depth, they are at the top in their league where they happen to be facing teams who are relatively tougher than those in the group stage at the UCL, but then if Manchester united wins against Galatasaray which is very possible because they have the home advantage, they will most likely be at the second position on the table and Stand a better chance to qualify.

Manchester United's got three upcoming games: Everton today, Galatasaray on Wednesday, and Newcastle on next Saturday. Tonight, they're back in action in the Premier League, facing Everton. It's a pretty crucial match that they really need to win. Getting the win would mean moving back up to 6th place in the standings for Man United. I'm sure the team knows the significance of this match and has a clear plan to get the job done. Let's see how it plays out!
Manchester united is definitely aware of the significance of this match and they are currently leading by a goal in the first half of the game, and it seems they may most likely win but then they need a goal to seal their victory and secure the sixth position back on the table.

Manchester united is playing from away but they are dominating in the game, they have a better possession of the ball but Everton is leading with shots on target and goal attempts, if Manchester united is able to sustain their goal to get a win by the end of this match, they will have their morale and confidence boasted and better placed to face Galatasaray on Wednesday but then the tension in UCL I much more I hope they will be able to get through because that aswell is very crucial too.

Nice has continued their record of staying unbeaten after eight consecutive matches including the on they just won against Toulouse today by a goal, they have aswell maintained their position at the second spot on the standing just a step behind PSG who is currently at the top.

Nice wasn't really impressive yesterday, I felt they would have done way better than they did, it did looked like they were considering their opponent even with the home advantage they had , I expected they would have won with a very good difference but until the early minutes of the second half, they were unable to secure a goal which later turned out their only goal with which they were able to secure three points.
2340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 26, 2023, 02:50:46 PM
It should be an easy game for Real Madrid with their current form tipped against Cadiz. Even the pundits predict a 6.10odds against Cadiz winning and 1.50odds  for Real Madrid.
Bellingham and Vini Jr. May even have to come from the bench and would have to not break a sweat in securing goals because am betting on Real Madrid scoring more than 3goals in this match soon to commence shortly.
Real Madrid current form conforms to your speculations but then football is usually filled with suprises and the unexpected could play out, just like yesterday Barcelona was expected to win before the game started most speculations were in favour of Barcelona until the game ended.

Barcelona literally struggled to get a draw ,in essence I'm saying Real Madrid jave all it takes to win without stressing and it's exactly what's expected of them but smaller teams ares usually characterized with trying to be very resistant against bigger teams and in some cases if the big team is lax they end in a draw so Reall Madrid shouldn't underestimate Cadiz regardless els they may be surprised by the outcome of the match.
