Newcastle Chelsea is another match that's yet to receive more attention in recent discussion, I see that game as another interesting one that will be happening this weekend bin Europe, aside Manchester city and Liverpool which has been most discussed and speculated since this week.

The blues have recently been showing some strength as seen in their most recent games starting with their win against Tottenham, that was when their morale and confidence took a new shape and ever since the story hasn't been the same as they keep showing strength back to back with any team they have met after then, although Newcastle isn't a weak team but I sense they will find it difficult considering how well the blues did faced Manchester city last week and held them to an epic draw.

Believe me, if you have experience the losses after a winning streak then no one would advise to think of stopping when the winning are coming but the truth is that not everyone can do this because winning is a feeling that everyone craves for so it won't be easy that stop the feeling that you have longed craved for. I have experience the feeling alot of times and it's very difficult although sometimes I do manage to overcome it but I tell it's not as easy as everyone claim it to be.
Winning gives this confidence to the gambler that he  can always win again if only he further tries, and that's why recklessness sometime start after a series of wins, some times they become to confident they forget that luck has a better part to play I'm their Chance of winning and they end up not been logical enough.

The crave to continually win is something everyone experiences but then when bit turns out it's given a drive that's turning out detrimental to your pocket and health, it's advised you let go of it but most average gamblers don't heed to this and they get their fingers burnt in the long run. It's not easy to actually overcome all these but with discipline and consistency one can possibly get to the point where they control theirselves well enough not to continue in that habit.

The game ended 2-1 in favour of Real Madrid. A swift win and correct odds, just witness 2x leverage of an initial capital deposited. Yeah, the game enter and the winner went home with straight 2.7 million in any currency he staked. Betting against Barcelona at Camp Nou was kind of a risk which many gamblers was not willing to stake because they were frighten but they forget to understand that the system is filled risks and risking everything you have for a game you're confident about means you're solely in for whatever outcome that comes our.
It was a risky one but then it turned out rewarding and worth the risk, although personally I wouldn't risk that much with such amount because it will definitely get me too emotional and and may affect my mind, I will really be uneasy All trough the game and it's a situation I usually never want to find myself.

Barcelona as at the time of this bet was in their best form an playing from home was seen as even more advantageous to them and so everyone would want to look at the whole thing to have more favor on the side of Barcelona but then just like football will always turn out with its suprises they were in lucky and they lost, personally if I wanted to gamble on that game,no would rather predict on the number of goals than picking any body to win over the other.

This week Roma will host Udinese at home and they must target this win if they want to overtake Fiorentina in the standings. In the previous match, Roma only drew against Lazio and Udinese also got a similar result against Atalanta. Of course, Udinese is not an opponent that can be beaten easily and with Udinese's increasingly improving motivation when facing teams that are much stronger, of course they will always perform optimally. However, I think that if Roma are not able to score 1 goal in this match then the match will definitely end in a draw, but if Roma is able to do that then there will be more goals scored, especially as Lukaku is currently on fire.
I trust Mourinho to get his team delivered against udinese Im their next meeting but I have some fears as it regards the recent performance of Roma, they don't seem consistent with their style of playing it still looks like they are yet to get their bearing and a consistent tactics that would yield results for them often.

I'm the Europa at some point it looks more like they were struggling and I wondered if Mourinho was loosing his coach Skil or he is still in the process of assembling a team he can work with, and if that be the case he still has January window to still get some good players to his team that will help him get results soonest, with undinese I feel it's going to be a fair game where it wouldn't be so easy and at same time not really tough.

Vinicius Jr injury problem is a serious issue to real madrid because Vinicius is a key player in Real Madrid and it can affect the team of achieving. My fear for Real Madrid is that bellingham which everyone is looking up to nothing happens to him, because if anything happens to him I don't think Real Madrid will be able to get the title this season.

If Real Madrid would have been able to get the perfect replacement for Benzema it would have really be a help to the team, and Vinicius Jr this season have not really been stable this season due to injuries,  I think this season can end up to be a difficult season for Real Madrid. Girona and Barcelona will take Real Madrid challenge as an opportunity to grab the championship this season.
The absence of vinicius Jr will definitely affect the performance of Real Madrid no doubts but I don't think it will be to the extent of denying them the league title if they were supposed to win the title, because his absence is definitely going to be for awhile and it wouldn't be throughout the season.

If he comes back he could help the team get back on track, same applies to Bellingham absence of any of these players wouldn't cot the team the league title because am sure they will sure be back before the end of the see and Real Madrid is too experienced to rest the success of the team on the shoulders of a few players, before now when vinicius was injured earlier at the beginning of the season, they had a way of covering up with rotation and his absence tho felt but didn't stop they from winning and stepping up the table.

most people may believe that Liverpool can beat Man City, but looking at the depth of players and Man City current desires, they dont want to be pushed aside by anyone and want to continue dominating the EPL to get the title like last season, even though no one guarantees Man City victory, we have to consider that the match is at Man City home ground, which means the chance of victory for Man City is very big but it does not rule out the possibility of a draw because I also admit that Liverpool has a good enough performance to withstand Man City attacks.
but the match schedule is still around 1 week away and there is still a lot going on, while several players who are defending their countries during the international break could suffer injuries and I hope that I dont want to see Man City or Liverpool players suffer injuries like players in other leagues.
I don't think Liverpool can beat Manchester city but I think there's a very high tendency of draw than a win because Liverpool is just a point behind Manchester city on the table and they could get a chance at the top of the table if they win but then if they draw the will still maintain the second position.

Manchester city is at home and I see that as a good enough advantage but then when I taught of their performance against Arsenal last time I got the impression that against big teams who seem like their equals, they usually don't find it easy and some times really struggle and loose just like I'm the case of arsenal although they weren't at home so lets hope it's different since they will be playing from home, if it has been when Liverpool still had mane I would be very sure Manchester city will definitely struggle against Liverpool even though they still would now.

Exactly, this is really difficult to estimate, difficult to understand given that Napoli are in truly pitiful conditions.
I don`t think the new coach can perform a miracle in 1 week, I think it`s just impossible.
Furthermore, Atalanta needs points to stay in the cup competitions.
I always taught that the idea of a new coach for the team at this point will in no way be of a greater help than with the former coach because they would now need more time with the new coach and the season is not waiting for them as each passing week is time spent already in the season so it's wasn't the best idea tho looked like a good one.

Considering they have some of their players currently injured and they now have to start adaptation to a new coaches pattern and style of play, it's really going to tell on them for a while and all this can't be fixed in a month let a alone juts a week and I think this is one thing the management of the Napoli team failed to understand maybe they were just carried away by the pressure to get a better performance, anyways let's still hope for the better for them.

Manchester United is not a very unsuccessful team. On the contrary, they are a team with a strong squad but things are not going the way they want. If there are the right tactics and the right guidance, the players are good enough to easily get out of the group and pass the round. They will have a tough match against Galatasaray and they will need to win this match. Otherwise, their chances of getting out of the group will be left to miracles.
They can't at this time be regarded in such light but then they have performance that want to portray them in such light if they don't improve their performance before the season ends, so far they have really been so in consistent and have not been at their best enough to look like they have succeeded.

Manchester united has got a good squad and the team depth is aswell good but the problem around the team is just so much that one cannot be really particular about what alone could be their problem, but then as usual the Coach will always have a greater part of the blame because he is the head of the team and most of the decision on the pitch are pre determined by him so most often than not they will associate their performance with how well he has instructed his team.

Monaco is not a side to neglect in this game against PSG. The club is currently in the third position three points less than PSG and they have been putting up a good performance this season. PSG will have to fight hard to win this game because Monaco is also a good attacking side. The only problem with the club is the defense. The club has conceived more goals than all the clubs in the first four positions of the Ligue One table. A win against Monaco will make PSG solidify their hold on the first spot but if it goes the other way Monaco might move to the second position. But this prediction will depend on the outcome of the match between Nice and Toulouse.
I have always said it that the biggest mistake PSG will ever make in this game against Monaco will be to underestimate them as that will be detrimental on them before the match ends, because Monaco will stop at nothing to utilize every chance they have to continually stay at the top of the table.

PSG looking tough than them doesn't guarantee they would win but then they have more chances than their opponent does. They have the home advantage and since this season, they have really been good with their performance at home so I expect more from them at home even if I know their opponent isn't weak at all and by the stats according to H2H, Monaco has won PSG quite a good number of time so it's definitely not going to be easy on them.

Anyone who has been following the performance of the Bayern Munich team since the start of the season can attest to the fact the team is currently on fire and can't be stopped by a club like Koln. Bayern has been tearing teams apart and against Koln, I don't expect any result apart from a win for the reigning German Bundesliga champions. Koln for sure isn't gonna play the game without hope of getting something out of the game but I think the don't have all it takes to get a good result against Bayern Munich.
In as much as I wouldn't want to underestimate any team, I aswell wouldn't think klon have got a chance against Bayern Munich in their next game, klon in the relegation Sid EOF the table will definitely give impression that they are weak but then I think they having the home advantage should be a reason not to underestimate them

Going by the statistics from the H2H, klon has always tried to contend strongly with Bayern Munich, about two times they have had a draw against Bayern Munich, and in the times where Bayern won it's always been with slightly difference of one or two goals. So going by the records, I don't think it's really going to be an easy win for Bayern Munich because numbers don't lie, they may have to tough enough on klon to be able to get away with the three points

How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?

From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.

I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.

Things get better after they voiced out about their addiction and they are able to get help, any gambling addicts you know of? what method works for you when helping them?

If you are facing gambling addictions and you are keeping it all to yourself, you are worsening your problem, find someone who is close to you and open up to them, letting it all out will bring you some relieve and hopefully you will get better, don't wait till you hit the rock bottom before you say it all out.

Personally I have not changed any gambling addict probably because bi have had little to almost no contact with most of them and aswell I don't try to change anyone because most times you trying to change may not turn out well as they may not change completely, but may temporarily stop.

I do advice they get professional help because I think that way they get to completely heal and get to recover faster and better than when been advised by a random individual, and the chances they go back are usually very small because these professional help take it upon their self since they have been paid to ensure these person don't go back to their forma habits and become better person, so personal I always refer to professional help as I see it to be the best and what will most likely work for them them.
2372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 20, 2023, 09:19:03 AM
The depth can be decisive. If one team loses their top scorer and they can still replace that player with a good enough alternative, it is quite different from a team that can't. But we are still talking about professional football on an international level and every team should be able to come up with a competitive solution to still retain their chance to win a game against a superior team if they go all out with all their heart. There are these talents like Mbappe or Messi and those players can never be replaced, but a lot can be done when the team has great and strong cohesion and works as a unit.
Loosing top scorer in a team is always really tough on team on them because their results will be affected and sometimes how well they perform especially when they meet bigger teams is really affected aswell, so getting a good replacement is something they fight to do almost immediately so they don't get to suffer the after effects long enough after the player is gone.

Players like Messi and nema when they both lest PSG at same time it almost caused them a lot of time to get back on their feet, they were lucky enough to still have mbappe around to keep them going until they were able to get suitable replacement but then it still wasn't like when the trio was still there's, same was also seen with Manchester united if which they still suffer till today, the exit of their goal keep with a replacement that doesn't look better and Ronald, the list goes on.
2373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 20, 2023, 09:05:08 AM
Manchester united supporters should be patient with the coach because there's completely no other better prominent coach out there without weaknesses. Even the almighty Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp often records defeats in league games. Erik Ten Hag is simply doing his best to redeemed the club from their struggling moments and ensure they are in good shape, one of the major reasons he will massively be involved in the January transfer market. Sacking a coach is not the problem, the main problem are the players whose performance are unprofessional against elite oppositions.
It problem is the supporters have been really patient but they are yet to see results so it's definitely getting them weary already, because they wouldn't have to wait all season before they will get to see the results they wish to see because such time is definitely not available on their side.

Asides the carbao they had last season, they have had almost no trophy in a while now and the fans are begging to be scared seeing their recent performance that they may end this season aswell with no trophy again which is definitely not what they want to see, klop needs to start getting back on his feet knowing too well that the fans and supporters are hope to see better results than he has now and even the team would definitely want to be back to their glory days.
2374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 20, 2023, 08:54:51 AM
My principal doubt is, if Girona after this international break is gonna still being this good, or they are gonna start to fall behind, maybe they can last until the winter break, and become the winter champions  Grin i remember the alst team becoming winter champion asides of the big threes was Real Sociedad a lot of time ago.

Valencia has also been champion of the Spanish League and that's been a long time, Girona continues to amaze people, the majority of Spanish League fans today don't think that big teams like Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are still unable to catch up with Girona, after the international break Girona will face Bilbao, Bilbao will definitely try to threaten Girona's position.
Girona is just two points ahead of Real Madrid, four ahead of Barcelona and ten points ahead of AthletiCo Madrid so it will take them to loose one match and they will be a step below other teams on the table, so they are still not very firm vet and can at any point be displaced on the table.

I still don't trust girona well enough to be able to maintain the top spot on the table after the international break, most of the players in other big teams who have been rested well enough will be in a better form and I'm sure their performance will be brilliant so Girona definitely needs to put in more effort to be able maintain their spot but Real Madrid will definitely be very tough on them whenever they eventually meet and they will be a test on their strength.
2375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 19, 2023, 07:58:02 PM
I am a person who chases losses until I spend all my savings. It was a bad condition for me. I did that when I was new to gambling. I don't have enough experience yet so I keep chasing losses and increasing the bet so that one win can cover the previous loss. But what I did was wrong, chasing losses made me lose more money. I realized it too late, and only realized it when all my savings were gone. This was a bad but valuable experience for me
Sorry for your losses but very importantly your lessons have been learnt and in the nearest future you are definitely not going to make such mistake and you stand a better place to even advise others especially newbies to gambling on how well to gamble and to stay responsible at it.

Some persons may still not learn even if they are getting a first hand advise about it from your experience now, they will probably wait until it happens to them then they would realize how bad it is because they are maybe used to learning the hard way. Chasing loss is one of the worse form of gambling especially when you start increasing your stake with the hope that you will recover all at your next big win , you definitely end up loosing more,it's even better to increase the odds and reduce the stake, you could recover if you are lucky but they I strongly advise against chasing loss.
2376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: November 19, 2023, 07:42:55 PM
Hey,

I wonder what other gamblers consider to be the most important aspect of a betting site.

In my case, it's the speed of approving and processing withdrawals. Knowing that all withdrawals go smoothly, without delays or issues, makes me trust the betting site... even if it may not have the best games, the biggest odds, or the most attractive interface. In the end, it's all about the money. Smiley

In general, if a betting site makes excuses to delay withdrawals, imposes limits on the amount you can withdraw per day/week/month, or requests an excessive number of documents for a $50 withdrawal, then these are major red flags, at least for me.


So, what's the number one thing on your list?
I aswell share the same idea with you in this regards, because in the end we gamble and expect to make some profits from it so if these profit can't be accessed, forgetting the fun, there's no point gambling because a bulk of the fun comes when you win and you are able to withdraw your proceeds from your wins.

Some other person's have other things they check out for but I think speed of processing withdrawal is very paramount and key for me, another has to do with how fast they updated wins, because I have had an experience where I won a game and it wasn't updated till 24hrs later then it took them several hours again to further process my withdrawal and that was how I left and never returned to that gambling site again. KYC is another thing I look out for, how easy it is to pass their KYC because some casino uses it as an excuse to withhold some customers money back.

I'm not going to disrespect any country including Indonesia or any other team in the world because the national teams belong to the people of that country but I think a country like Indonesia can't have any chance in the World Cup compared to the other teams and if they want to get developed and have professional players they need to invest more for their team while they didn't do that so far.
We know Iraq is not a strong team but losing the game against Iraq with a 5-1 result is not good at all for Indonesia.
Personally I don't intend and would not intend to undermine a team like Indonesia but then seeing this results, it's really unacceptable personally, this is because examine bother teams very well and you will agree with me that neither of both team is considered any tougher than the other but the results made it looked like such.

Both team don't have any super star player with which we can associate them and say would deliver them in times when most needed, that are both to be considered a regular team aspiring for the world cup. I think Indonesia needs serious investment in their football game because with this performance, even if they qualify for the world cup, they may not be able get anything out of it, and sadly this is not club foot ball where players could be bought or sold lol. they just have to invest more on building their players and possibly in the future they could raise a star.

I think some people would have the same doubts as you, including myself. Not to underestimate them, but from our experience in La Liga, that teams that can surprise at the beginning of the season they will not be able to maintain until the end of the season, and that always happens, and maybe we can see from the past few seasons that there are always teams that can provide a surprise but at the end of the season it is still the 3 teams that are in the top 3, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This may also be felt by other teams, one of which is Girona who are now at the top of the table.
It's really interesting that the trend is almost taking a different shape from the usual as Girona has successfully sneaked to the top of the table without people noticing until they got their and attentions were now draged to them because they don't usually get to this point most seasons.

Barcelona is looking like the only team amongst the usual big three you did mentioned that will be Left behind this season probably due to their too many crisis they are facing since the season started, they have been good until recently they started looking average with their performance but hopefully they will get back on their feet, Atletico Madrid has really been hitting hard this season trying to find their way to the top but having little hitches along the way but they can be very sure to qualify for UCL by the end of the season.
2379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 19, 2023, 06:48:18 PM
That is PSG biggest challenge at the moment, winning the UCL trophy will make Mbappe stay. Enrique is required to be able to realize the ambitions carried by the team, while Mbappe is still with them at the moment. But for many people, this is very difficult to achieve, considering that many great players have joined the PSG club but they have not been able to win the UCL title. Madrid will not stop before their target is achieved, Perez is a person who has many ways to realize his ambition to recruit Mbappe.

PSG won the UCL, Mbappe moved, Madrid recruited another ideal striker besides Mbappe, everything is still very open to happening in the future. I think even if PSG win the UCL this season, Mbappe will still leave the club, in another context I don't think he should go to Madrid. One more thing, I'm not sure PSG will make a loss regarding Mbappe move, however they will find a solution so that the club makes a profit from the transfer.
It's one of the biggest dream of PSG to win the UCL but I doubt if that dream would come true this season considering the too many crisis they have faced already which has impacted their performance both in the champions league and the Ligue 1, most recently, since this season began.

Although they didn't start of the season badly but along the line they have been characterized with some inconsistency, although they are experienced with the champions league, it's not a guarantee they would be the champions this season because I feel the competition this season is just too high for them to handle and with the chances of them loosing a key player (mbappe) soon is another set back they will take them some time to fix even if they are hoping to get it fixed by January but it still wouldn't help them bring how the trophy to the french home.
2380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 19, 2023, 06:36:28 PM
This is the first time I am seeing someone speculating and adding Inter Milan amongst the top best teams to win the champions league trophy this season. I am not too surprised because they have also been performing well in their group stage matches. Real Madrid are the only team that have won the champions league trophy back to back, no any other team have done it even in the past. This does not mean that no team will have the potential to do it.

Manchester City performance both in their domestic league and European competitions have been exceptional and we can’t deny that they are worthy of winning the Champions League trophy for the second time if they have good management like last season. They just need to prepare more vigorously, take more training session and look for the best strategy to defeat their closest rivals who can stop them from taking the trophy this season, I mean Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and co.

It is not easy to face big teams like this and eliminate them from a competition that comprises of the greatest teams in Europe. They did it last season but that is not an assurance that they can do it again this season. Extra effort and luck has to be on their side to win this trophy for the second time in a row.
It's true that Real Madrid is the only team currently with the records and no other team has done it even though the seem like they posse the ability to but then Manchester city currently might be working towards achieving that height but it expedient to understand that the UCL is still at group stage.

After the group stage than for me the competition has just begun because the filtering of the bigger boys must have been done and it's only the best who can get last that stage. The competition in the premier league is different from that which you find in the champions league so judging the performance of Manchester city in their domestic league and bringing it as a reason to why they have chances with the champions league may not be really good enough because we have bigger team who they will be facing outside the premier league pattern.
