I don't see that Manchester City is getting stronger this season, but indeed Manchester City is a team that is quite consistent so they are still favorites to win the Premier League and also the Champions League, but we also have to assess other teams who are stronger this season compared to last season so that it is possible for this team, they can beat Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, these are the 3 teams that at the start of this season look better than last season and this makes it possible for them to compete fiercely with Manchester City.
What is certain is that Manchester City this season will find it more difficult to win the title than last season.
slightly disagree with your opinion, how do you judge if Man City is not too strong this season? have you not seen Man City journey from the start of the season to today competing consistently in the EPL and UCL which is extraordinary? Man City can share their performance to continue pursuing the title they want like last season, even in the EPL they were able to occupy first place in the standings with 4 win and 1 loss and in the UCL they managed to beat Leipzig with a score of 1-3 while Man City played away in that match.

with this achievement, would you say that Man City is not too strong and will have difficulty winning the title like last season?
dont say you judge only by the defeat when playing against Wolves at that time and if you understand football I am sure you understand the coach strategy to maintain the physical quality of his players so that the main players dont perform optimally because they are maintaining their physical condition to appear in the UCL. I hope you will understand more deeply.

Actually, Giroud's services are still needed as an experienced striker and I think Milan can give him a contract for another season. Currently, Milan actually has a candidate to replace Giroud, namely Noah Okafor, but Stefano Pioli doesn't seem 100% confident in giving this tough task to Noah Okafor so we can see that Giroud will always be the main choice for this season. Sometimes when times are difficult, Giroud can still contribute to Milan, but sometimes he doesn't appear very consistent, so I think Giroud should be rested this season and Stefano Pioli should give more trust to Noah Okafor so he can mature.
I would not agree if Giroud was replaced with another player because this would slightly affect the quality of Milan performance because currently, even though he looks a little old, Giroud still has made a good contribution to Milan, producing assists and scores for Milan several times. age will not affect Giroud performance because judging from the quality of his talent, he is still very good.
and I would agree more if Milan at least extended the contract for at least 2 seasons or 3 seasons it would be better because Giroud himself is also comfortable at Milan and in the next match Milan will face Genoa and in this match Giroud is really needed to provide a score like beating Torino at the time that and get extra points.

PSG's owner wants more titles, not just Ligue 1, that's why changing his position is the choice he made because his real target is the Champions League, which so far is still the most difficult thing for PSG to achieve.
There is still a very big chance of him returning to the leagues in Europe because after all he has a pretty good record in terms of coaching and at least it will still be possible for clubs in Ligue 1 to make him a coach in the future when he has finished his contract at his new club. We can see that the current Tottenham coach is not a well-known person and even his experience is only in the smaller leagues but he managed to get a good job at Tottenham and so far he has managed to bring the club to a better performance than last season so Galtier returning to Europe is still possible happened.
when PSG fired Galtier it was actually a mistake. I know the PSG owner ambition is for PSG to win the UCL title but it not be that fast and it will take a little time as a coach to really set the right strategy to win the UCL title like Guardiola did. PSG owner should have learned from Guardiola story, but because his ambition was too high, he always changed coaches when he failed to win the UCL title. In fact, I trust Galtier more than Enrique.
there is no history of a new coach being able to bring his team to get the UCL title except luck and even a coach who was able to bring his team to get the UCL title several times when he was the coach of a new team will not be able to get the title that quickly and I believe it was PSG fault that he was unable to do so only PSG owners can win the UCL title.

But is also shows that the Saudi Professional League is so much easier to play for these superstars because I doubt that Mane and Ronaldo would have the same goal count and assist count in the Premier League or another European top league. Of course it is their job to score in their position, but the frequency would incredible in any European league. I don't think it is as impressive in this league though. But still it is a performance that should be respected.
For players who are full of experience in the top European leagues, of course playing in the Saudi league is not a problem, especially at an old age like now, they can still have the opportunity to become top scorers. Both Ronaldo and Mane are experienced strikers and previously they also played as wingers at a fairly young age. So it's not surprising that all European players at a relatively old age will still be crazy when it comes to scoring goals. Not too impressive because we have often seen both of them during their prime, so scary for any team's defense that what they are doing now is like repeating the previous time but with less intensity.
european star players who are quite old certainly not be a problem, the most important thing is that their performance is still a bit the same as when they were young and for Ronaldo, who thinks he has almost the same performance when he was young, its just that his ball control skills are definitely slightly reduced due to age it will definitely have a little influence and in fact Ronaldo is still known as scoring machine as you said, even like Benzema and Neymar who are also in one of the SPL teams at the moment are not able to perform optimally because they need time to adapt and well I hope that European players who have the age a bit old will still shine in this SPL.
2345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Warning] Don't share your casino account! on: October 05, 2023, 07:43:35 AM
That is why after KYC we must protect our account. We will never know if someone would just message us about this kind of deal like OP shared. If it becomes a bigger problem, the softest case will be a ban from the gambling site but the hardcore part is jail time and we cannot even defend ourselves especially, if the gambling site itself will support the case and provide all the details about the transaction of the dirty money.

OP did share a piece of good information here and I think we should remember that. Many people who have bad intentions in different social media do this kind of practice in different ways. It may not be gambling but it's also a type of money laundering. I realized it is true that it can also be injected into gambling and they will clean the money using other accounts especially the VIP's because it will not be easily detected with their wagered amount.
and usually cases like the one told by the OP often occur in high ranking accounts or someone who has a VIP rank account which usually has a higher bet amount limit and this is a concern if it happens to novice gamblers who have VIP rank accounts and when offered by foreigners with a high amount and a tempting distribution, he will definitely accept the offer, but for experienced gamblers, I am sure it not be that easy to accept the offer because experience is very important here.

and in this case it will be very important to keep the anonymous closed even though it is not rated as a regular gambler or a big gambler I prefer to close the privacy of my account because on every gambling platform we can usually see the account ranking from typing the name in the chatroom and we can see the amount of the bet and these statistics so that sometimes people who want to do evil to us will usually also do things like that.
OP story is very helpful for anyone not to easily trust other people when it comes to big money in gambling.
2346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 05, 2023, 07:15:44 AM
Since a gambler gets short-term credit through a credit card, they choose this route to fund in gambling. When money is lost in gambling, gamblers want to get the gambling money with whatever interest rate will be. If gambling is carried out with credit card debt without any hesitation, then at some point the debt burden will increase and a gambler will be unable to pay it. As a result, he will be in disaster as well as in the financial system of that country. If a gambler gambles on borrowed money it is not a problem but if he borrows from a bank loan or credit card it becomes a big problem.
everything about loan money to gamble, whether it a personal loan from someone else or using a credit card, is all very bad. I mean, we often discuss on this forum that borrowing money to gamble is very bad, whereas gambling is provided for fun using one own money, one can afford to lose, and if one bets using loan money, it violates the basic rules of gambling because at any time gambling will never provide benefits. who easily even always lose. so any loan will not be good if used for gambling and I would also say that control must be maintained because credit cards always give whatever the user asks for so gambling will take advantage of this situation to make more money from gambling.
2347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 05, 2023, 06:44:04 AM
It is quite difficult to change Lyon, who have fallen to the bottom of the standings and maybe this time it could be an early victory for them. The reason is that Lorient is not a difficult opponent, especially since they were also less stable at the start of this season and it seems that currently Lorient is also in the worst position since last season, being in 16th position temporarily. Moreover, in the next match Lyon will be the host so I hope this time they really don't waste the opportunity to turn the 3 points into theirs. Lyon doesn't need to win a lot and indeed their defense must be strengthened in the next match so that they don't concede too many goals which could cause them to suffer another defeat.
both of these teams have both had poor performance quality this season, its just that Lyon has a bigger advantage because they will compete as hosts and for Lorient, at least they have to fight to end the match with a draw or win and if its difficult to beat Lyon, at least they have to pay more attention to their defense. and I predict this match has 2 possibilities, either a draw or Lyon winning.
betting on a team with a weak performance like this requires you to choose your bets wisely because it will be very risky, with the instability of these two teams sometimes causing big surprises.
2348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage greed to place your bet on: October 05, 2023, 06:25:26 AM
Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?
winning is luck, losing is a small thing that must be accepted when gambling, that what I think.

in this concept it all depends on the budget that I have and I will tell you about sports betting. if one day I have a slightly large budget and believe that the match I choose will win maybe I will bet a slightly large amount but if I am not sure maybe only bet part of it and if I am in doubt after betting a large amount and losing that is the right thing Its natural because of course when you bet with a small amount you are always successful or always win and sometimes we think about regret or happiness. but its all still about luck and betting using money you can afford to lose and according to plan, even if you lose all your budget, we not regret it.

A very impressive victory for Newcastle United, they were the most doubtful team to qualify from this most difficult group but what they showed against PSG slowly changed their status into a team to be reckoned with and this big win proves that they can play in the Champions League this season is not only because the strong teams in the English Premier League performed poorly last season but because they have the ability to play in this prestigious competition.
However, the results of other matches in the same group put Dotmund and AC Milan below Newcastle and PSG. Dortmund not being able to get 3 points against AC Milan at their own home will put them in an even more difficult position compared to the other 3 teams in the group.
Its impressive for Newcastle to be able to beat PSG with a big score and I remember previously when in the 1st match Newcastle against Milan were only able to draw with a score of 0-0 and we all know how Milan performance in the UCL was very strong and from the previous match I felt there was something improving Newcastle was different so they were able to beat PSG with a score of 4-1. with this success, Newcastle has increased enthusiasm to continue to perform consistently in the next round and Eddie Howe will also feel very proud of his team who were able to perform with the right strategy and I believe that in the next match they will be against Dortmund and will be able to beat or at least draw because Dortmund also had the same performance as Milan with a final score of 0-0.

I didn't watch this match, but seeing Lewandowski's line-up in the match raised a question in my mind, could Lewandowski be injured? because there couldn't have been any other reason why he was withdrawn early in the first half. Apart from that, this is like a test for Barcelona because they lost the only striker they have this season and even though there is Ferran Torres who is always a substitute, it is still not a good option for the starting line up in the future. Now Xavi will certainly be very confused about his current squad, especially in La Liga they are still behind their rival teams in the standings, of course this will be a tough job especially since Girona is also continuing to scout them.
I also did not watch the match because I was too busy but watched the replay several times Felix also gave a very hard kick but it was missed by the Porto goalkeeper and we are all worried right now if Lewandowski is injured too badly, it will definitely really affect Barcelona strength performance in the La Liga match. and also the UCL, but it seems that if you look at his physical appearance when he was replaced by Torres, it seems that Lewandowski is not too serious, but it seems that in the next match against Granada, Xavi will rest Lewandowski so that the injury is not too serious.
and on the one hand we dont need to worry because Xavi has 2nd layer players to be prepared in case of injury to one of the players and for me Torres and Felix can also be good strikers for Barcelona and will secure victory against Granada.
2351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 05, 2023, 04:48:54 AM
You're both right. Reaching that point requires time, which not everyone can do. And only people who want to achieve everything are willing to do it, and even though it is hard for them, they still decide. They know that a person can realize what is good for him and what is not for him so that he can adjust everything well. And that is what successful gamblers have achieved who will not become addicted to gambling even though they often gamble in many casinos. He can still care for himself well and will not gamble excessively because he may already have been in that condition. He was still sober and knew what to do, and if it were time to stop gambling, he would immediately stop gambling and leave the casino.
well, with all the things we talk about here we have to think about the main discussion, namely what is meant by a successful gambler. TBH, I am a little confused because there are several assessments for successful gamblers, namely successful gamblers building their own casinos or successful gamblers with certain strategies to make a profit from sports betting? whereas we all know the history of gamblers who always lose, even if they use any strategy, they still lose.
in this scenario it seems that what is meant by successful gamblers are gamblers who have a lot of experience and have their own casino and that cannot be said to be addicted because they think about the money they always use to bet but always lose and decide to build their own casino to get definite profits.

for me, who considers a gambler successful just because he has had a big win is just luck and in the long run I am sure he will lose all his money.
2352  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 05, 2023, 04:39:10 AM
I may not have the stats to back this but a very huge percentage of people who gamble are in it to make money. Only very few are doing it for fun. When you go to gambling platforms, you'll see a lot of lower-class people who forever use their last money to gamble (hoping that it could be their lucky day). I've gone to numerous physical gambling stores, but I haven't seen a really rich person there, it's always people who are struggling, wasting, and tossing their money away out of desperation.
You could be right, because it won't be easy to admit that people gamble because they want to make more money so they use it as a reason of fun so it looks more acceptable, but there are indeed people who gamble for fun because when they gamble they do it with friends and become a time to meet and communicate. And rich people also gamble, but of course they do it in more elite places such as cruise ships that provide casinos or other famous gambling places that only rich people can access.
However, if someone is in need of money then gambling to get more money is quite a stupid action because the chance of losing is just as big.

there are lots of people out there in the lower class who have a bad mindset towards how gambling works and they think that gambling can be used as a place to get luck for life and this kind of mindset should not be in their minds because the facts always say there are no gamblers who is really rich except the bookies.
different from rich people, they are free to go wherever they want and gamble wherever they still think its just like a vacation like you said, like gambling on a cruise ship. well, by gambling on these cruise ships rich people consider going on vacation and gambling just for fun they use money they can afford to lose.

this is the difference between lower class people and rich people and I am not here to compare the two but we only look at the negative side of the mindset of both parties and I have to say this that always remember how gambling works that is the way to think healthily.
2353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: October 04, 2023, 07:45:30 PM
for my local TV ,  I've never seen it, and in my  country is also aggressively arresting gambling influencers, so it's impossible for gambling advertisements to appear on TV.
but online gambling advertisements are very disturbing if we open web,n social media , sometimes 2-3x gambling advertisements will appear on my social media pages
maybe because where you live prohibits gambling or has a law prohibiting gambling, is that true?
well, if its true, it natural that you will never see gambling advertisements on your TV, but if you say you are very disturbed by seeing online gambling advertisements on the application you have on your smartphone, I think it your own fault. I mean you often open gambling sites or always look for information or anything about gambling on Google. so that Google will automatically provide suggestions for gambling advertisements and will spread them to several social media that you have.
and if you want to avoid this problem there are several ways to block gambling ads and these methods are in another thread that you can practice yourself.

I have the same thoughts as you, currently Rollbit is one of the best casinos that has its own token and at that time I got RLB tokens for free every time I bet on sports and esports betting, I always got some tokens and at that time the price was very cheap and as far as I remember, I had more than five numbers but I only used them to try my luck in the Rollbit lottery and was a little disappointed I threw away RLB tokens for the lottery but surprisingly the price rose quite high and I realized that I made a mistake selling RLB tokens which were once very valuable.

but it seems like now even though I often bet there there is a change every time I bet I dont get any more RLB tokens, is that true?

I think nobody could ever predict to see Stuttgart at this place. Because compared to other teams like Dortmund and especially compared to Bayern Munich Stuttgart is not a strong team and they didn't buy players this season. Also, Stuttgart didn't have a high amount of investment. I think Stuttgart doesn't have enough potential and they will lose this place sooner or later in this season.
yep, we can judge that this position is only temporary for Stuttgart. we can see from the history that Stuttgart position every season is never in the top 3 in the Bundesliga standings and is always replaced by top teams such as Dortmund, Leipzig and Leverkusen.
on the one hand, the journey to this match is still very long and there will always be changes every week, even in the long term, Stuttgart will continue to be moved by the top teams, but if you really want to try to be in the top 3, Stuttgart must continue to appear consistently to get a win. every match or at least a draw. but still this kind of consistency is difficult to maintain for Stuttgart and we will all see big changes once the transfer market reopens top teams will immediately take players from there and improve their performance.

It looks like we will see Dortmund and Leverkusen compete for runners up.

Osimhen may leave Napoli this winter and I think PSG is one of the important candidate teams. PSG really wanted to add him to their squad and I think he would be successful in France. Of course, whether he wants to play in the EPL or not will change many things. While he decides his future, the transfer fee to be paid to him will probably be talked about a lot during the winter transfer.

well, it sounds very interesting when PSG loses Mbappe and is replaced by Osimhen and looking at Osimhen style of playing quality is on par with Mbappe and is suitable to join PSG. even if there will be many offers in the winter like osimhen and Mbappe, it seems that from now on we can predict a big chance of a move for these two talented players and I also hope that Mbappe will soon come to Real madrid and Osimhen to PSG.

Lens have won three matches in a row all competition from Ligue 1 until UEFA Champion League, seems excited with Lens back to the top performing in this season exactly success defeated Arsenal on Champion League match. Current standings in Ligue 1 although still in few slip above relegation zone teams but winning over Arsenal make Lens more confidence upcoming match in Ligue against against Lille.

Both domestic league and Champion League are important for Ligue 1 team, if can't performing well in domestic league and finish on Champion League spot standings I don't think how come they will participate in Champion League competition. But PSG have an exception, winning Champion League is most priority for them after failure every season and Luis Henrique could give difference result for PSG in Champion League performance.
I have a difference of opinion with you regarding domestic league matches with other competitions such as UCL. of course, this match has difference, even though the performance in the domestic league is very bad, it does not necessarily mean that the UCL match will also be bad for reasons such as Lens performing a little badly in League 1. there is possibility that only maintaining the physical quality of the players to focus on the UCL match, even though in League 1, is also very important. but there a competition that must be prioritized first. If UCL manages to secure points, of course every time there is break in the match, UCL Lens has the right to chase points in League 1 even though they have to fight hard, but if they want to get a UCL ticket in next season, Lens must immediately improve the quality their performance.

I think, there is still time to know if truly Real Madrid is doing well or not because Barcelona are very close to them to take over that first position from them in this season like what they did to maintain a good position through out the tournament to embraced the la Liga league title last season. Real Madrid new players are doing well in this match, I believe their manager made a good choice to signed in such players into the team and they have something good to offer to the team if the management can encourage them with good things. It was a tough match seen Real Madrid defeated Napoli 3-2 to achieved the three points from the match, but Napoli coach was not happy about the defeat because his players missed so much opportunity in the match.
Real Madrid and Barcelona will continue to compete until the end of the season and in the transfer season there will also be many changes for one of the top teams. If Real Madrid can bring in Mbappe, I am pretty sure Madrid will firmly dominate La Liga, but if not, it looks like Barcelona will still will still hold the La Liga title next winter even though the difference in points is only small, but still I hope Madrid can win the La Liga title again.

regarding Real Madrid victory yesterday, it was fantastic when you saw Federico kick which was very hard and the contribution of Vinic and Bellingham appeared very strong. in the UCL match it seems that Real Madrid is a more worthy candidate even though Barcelona is also there.

this week there will be an interesting match that I will not miss and in this match the top team is favored by the bookies and I will take a share of the profits from this match.

Al Taawon vs Al Ta'ee
Al Nassr vs Abha
Ittihad vs Al Ahli
Al Akhdoud vs Al Hilal


from this match we can predict that Al Taawon is currently part of a strong team in the SPL while Al Ta'ee has not been able to be consistent in every match and Al Nassr will continue to perform with quality with its best players Ronaldo and Mane who are the mainstay of this team while Abha The last match was lost at home against Al Riyadh and next, Ittihad, which is currently still in a stable condition, remains consistent even though Al Ahli also has the ability to score because after all Al Ahli is also one of the teams that has a pretty good performance even though it is a little inconsistent.
and for Al Hilal, even though they are playing away, unlike other top teams, they are hosts, but Al Hilal is quite strong in the upcoming match because as we can see, Al Akhdoud is not a strong opponent for Al Hilal and my prediction is that at least Al Hilal will get over 2 scores.

maybe my prediction is a little risky with odds that are a little big, but there no harm in trying your luck and I hope that european star players are able to make a good contribution to their respective teams.
