Mikel Arteta will guarantee his team's participation in the UEFA Champions League this season, and I believe the Gunners have what it takes to pull off a coup against their most adjacent rivals. Arsenal vs. Lens is a must-win game for the Gunners because they need to outperform their opponents with significant points rather than random struggles and narrow escapes. Lens beating Arsenal in the first leg, I doubt whether these teams have a chance to face Arsenal at Emirate stadium; we've seen competitive teams fail in UEFA second legs
Arsenal may most likely not find it difficult winning lens I'm their next fixture against lens, Arsenal has a better form than lens does although most recently Arsenal is beginning to show some slow down in their performance but then I don't think it will be enough to stop them from getting a win against lens. In the UCL day five .

Arsenal will be playing form home and have the home advantage over lens, in the champions league this season, Arsenal has not lost at home and Lens is at the third position on the league table and they are not certain if they will make it to the next stage of the champions league because this match will have a determining effect on them  as they have same point as PSV who is at the second position so if they draw they will be just a point ahead but if they win they are most definitely going to qualify but I doubt the gunners will allow that at their home.

In this era of advanced technology, we do not blame or ask any media to stop advertising or anything related to gambling because they also get income from these advertisements or promotions and regarding minors, it is actually the parents' duty to provide appropriate education for them always provide insight into the dangers of gambling and as parents it is the responsibility of their children's future so we as parents must have full awareness of this problem.
Advertisment is something some other person make a living from and it's aswell regulated by a body or an agency in every country or region, and when some advertisment are been made, they are usually indicated to be +18 which indicates that it's for adults and viewer discretion is usually advised and parental guidance is usually advised aswell.

Provided these regulatory bodies approves these advertisment as fit for public view while indicating the required discretion and the age range it's suitable with, I think these adverts will continually be displayed on various screen regardless, except nin regions where it's considered against public safety then it could be stop but then it's usually regulated most of the times,. So in cases as this it's mostly the parents that should checked on their kids and help them avoid all these habits till they get eligible for it.

So i wanted to ask from experienced gamblers here, who make live bets; how do you choose your bets and what kind of bets are you preferring (other then betting for winners).

Also are there some good tips on how to make most of from those? Because to someone less informed like myself, most of the other kind of bets seem like shots in the dark. I am assuming that there are more profitable strategies. Like what kind of other bets are worth looking into?
I prefer sporting betting because most often it usually have higher chances of turning out a winner when making careful live picks, so most often I pick between basketball and football because I have some good knowledge in both of these sports I just mentioned and know how well to make my picks but not all the time it turns a winner.

For football there are teams I know are good at getting a good number of goals before the game is over so I wait when this game has started already and they have a goal ahead obviously they would most likely get more goals so I just placed a bet on them getting a goal or two more although the odds are usually Small but then you would have to get a good staking power to get a reasonable profit from it or you can be patient enough to roll it over gradually same applies to basketball but it's not 100% guaranteed a winner all the time.
2444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your parent disinherit you eventhough you have not proven to be chronic gambler on: November 16, 2023, 07:33:46 AM
Your parents are very rich and they have made a will while they are still alive Your parent is disinheriting you on the ground on one of the laws in our country about disinheritance that
Quote
When a child or descendant leads a dishonorable or disgraceful life;
because of gambling but they have not proven that you are a chronic gambler and you think you are a responsible gambler.

Do you have a case here on the ground that it is not proven that you are a chronic gambler and have not lost a fortune in gambling, can you appeal this case in court to make the will invalid and get your part in the inheritance?

Here in our country, you cannot disinherit your heirs as long as the heir does not violate what's stated in the law about inheritance and they just used the quoted message as their ground.


What's your take on this and what do your country's laws say about this?

Providing your innocence is one way I think will help him a lot because with legal matters, if you can make proves then their could be possible considerations that could be made. But then in the Will there have to be further statement about what should be done if his innocences can be proven.

My country I don't think I have come across any law or policy with such strings attached but in most cases wills are usually been follows just the way it was stated and wanted by the client. But then I think in situations as this the case could be appealed and further investigation done to ascertain the real truth regarding the person concerned and when it's determined maybe possible adjustments in that regards could be effected.
2445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 15, 2023, 11:32:09 PM
Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?
It's very paramount that you apply discipline well enough if not regardless of the strategy or the budget or plans you may not be able to maintain good bankroll management because they lack that very element that would have helped them maintain their planned bankroll management.

Although you can't possibly attain 100% of discipline but then if you continually practice it, you get used to it such that it becomes your habit and turns out even more difficult quitting. Personally in other no to be further tempted, I will only go to the casino with the amount I planned/ budgeted to play with or if it's online, I fund and immediately keep my credit cards away so if I loose that amount ,I don't go back funding again and further loosing more money.

Well you maybe correct because one thing is that we cannot predict what the outcome will be but we can only assume because just like the Manchester City match and Chelsea everybody believes that Manchester City will beat Chelsea with a lot of goals but the outcome of the match surprises everybody do to Chelsea sudden impressive performance against Manchester City, so there is every chance that a club we did not even expect is going to win the Europa League this season but however let's watch and see what the outcome will be.
In the game of football, you can't take away the place of uprises and possibly unexpected outcomes of matches because that's one the most interesting part of the game and that's why some person try to predict what could possibly happen as gambling in most cases out there.

But then I think with the ability and the form many teams would have display or showed so far, one could possibly speculate a about a certain team been able to win the league title but this aswell doesn't guarantee that it will turn out as speculated. Some times like you rightly said, some small team could at mid season, pick form and become so good they climb up the standing so well and may end up competing at the finals just like last season UCL, but for now by speculations the bigger teams who have performed well already at this moment, stands a better chance.

It looks like this won't be a big problem, I think in the future Bayern will be able to take first place again. Because if we look, the difference in points with Leverkusen is only 2 points. So it's not really that far apart. Like last year, Bayerns seemed like they would be overtaken and failed to win the title, but in the final matches they were finally able to take the opportunity to hold the title. And this season, I think, it is still Bayern who will most likely hold the Bundesliga title.

Meanwhile in the UCL itself, Bayern's performance so far has been very good. In this group phase, they performed brilliantly without any defeats. Even the goals they created included quite a lot. With Harry Kane, Bayern will become even stronger on this front. The fact that Kane came to Bayern is very appropriate, he really can optimize his skill and performance very well.
The only advantage Bayern Munich have got at this time is some more time. They have got some more time which if we'll utilized, they could possibly get to displace Leverkusen well enough to be able to win the league title once again but then I think it will be really boring they repeat winning the league too often.

Back to UCL they are the only team who has e actually qualified for the next round of the champions league, they are doing real good in the champions league so far. But as some persons will have it to say, at the round of sixteen we would know if some big teams will still stay big, because it take a different kind of performance to get pas this very competitive stage of the champions league.but I hope Bayern succeds

Xabi did not have the opportunities that Tuchel had. We realized that Xabi's scouting staff, team coaches and technical knowledge are very good. It is not easy to create a squad that can compete with Bayern Munich. Xabi achieves the difficult. Leverkusen became a better team than Dortmund thanks to him.
It further makes it more interesting with the fact that Xabi is even a yong coach a s he is achieving this already. It's very possible he could bring to an end the era of Bayern Munich dominance in the bundesliga, if he succeeds in winning the league title by the end of this season as this happens to be one of his targets.

Bayern Munich under the management of tuchel is doing so well and definitely still remains fierce amongst other teams in the bundesliga especially this season where they have been winning recently with great goal margins. Xabi is really building a formidable and contending force against tuchel's but then only time can tell if Xabi has got a team who can withstand the fierce champions of the bundesliga.

That is a very normal thing because in every season there are always surprises from weak teams to stronger teams as happened to Napoli at home. Even though most people saw this as a surprise because Empoli was able to win narrowly at home to Napoli, I have to consider this as a very normal thing if you look at Napoli's condition this season which is very different from last season. So it is quite a simple matter for Napoli so that they have a reason to make another comeback this season.
Napoli I think is definitely going to get a come back at empoli when next they meet it was obvious empoli took advantage of the fact that they met Npoli in their weak form where they had their key player injured thereby not playing with they complete team squad and they aswell had the home advantage.

Every season there's always a time when a team usually considered weak ends up challenging a big team such that they may aswell win them, this always happens at the times when these big teams are in their weak form or probably are experiencing a slow down due to the stress they have had already in the season but it's usually normal that the big boys later get back on their feet and dominate as they aught to.

Lewandowski is still one of the best strikers at the moment, and I am also very sure that he will still be able to have a career of up to 2 years or more at Barcelona, when he wants to retire, he will definitely be bought by a Saudi Arabian club lol. However, dependence on Lewandowski will have a bad impact on Barcelona, they must be able to have a replacement for Lewandowski because Lewandowski could be injured in the next match so it would be a bad thing if Barcelona were dependent on Lewandowski.
A good replacement for lewandoski is a very smart idea that the Barcelona team needs to buy into at this moment because dependency on lewandoski who happens to be an injury prone player at this moment will really have a negative effect on their performance on the long run.

Lewandoski has been a very good striker for Barcelona and ever since he arrived Barcelona, except for times he was injured, he has been at his very best. Now that he happens to be injury prone, if he wants to retire from the Barcelona probably after two years just like you did said, going to the Arabian side would be a good one but I think he's definitely going to have a drop in value because they aswell know what it means that he is injury pron and mind you the reason these Arab men do try getting all these big names to their league is for business purposes so if he isn't looking good for business, it's definitely going to affect his value.

In my opinion, it is too early if we judge that only the two top ranked teams at the moment will win the Bundesliga, because the league has only been running for 11 matches, meaning that not even half of the season has been underway, in my opinion there are teams below them that could still move up to the top rank to win the league. This season, including Borrussia dortmund, which is only ranked 5th, currently there is a chance, even though they have only got 21 points, they are 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who have 31 points, the possibility is not too small for them because this is only the start of the season.
Yeah it may look like it's too early to judge and all they but then one thing is sure and that's the fact that these two top teams are not looking like they are in any way loosing their form soon, they keep getting even better by each matches they play, so all they need at the moment would be consistency.

It will take Dortmund to win four matches in a row and for Leverkusen bro aswell loose four matches in a row before Dortmund will two points ahead of Leverkusen and the odds that this happens is almost zero considering the current form Leverkusen has, so it's still important to know that inasmuch as it's looking like there's still time, the big teams keep piling up points which will eventually make it more difficult for the smaller team to probably win and meet up, so even if the big teams have a slow down at any point they can still come back and stand tall again because they have the points advantage.

Such competitive and exciting matches are rarely seen. Manchester City were considered favorites in this match. However, the Chelsea players showed great dominance at the beginning of the match. In just 25 minutes, the Manchester City team took the lead by scoring a penalty. But Chelsea equalized within 4 minutes. After that, Chelsea took a 2-1 lead with Sterling's goal. In the first half, both teams played completely attacking. Akanji scored from Silva's pass in the last minute of the first half, and the match was tied 2-2.
Haaland gave City the lead again at the beginning of the second half. A lot of attacking we saw from players of both teams. Like the first half, the second half was very exciting. We had to wait till the last minute to know about the result of the match.
Chelsea did excellently in their last match against Manchester city and it's was quiet a very interesting match as both teams did performed brilliantly, Chelsea did not show any form of mediocrity like other teams would do when facing a team considered to be as tough as Manchester city.

Chelsea show great improvement with their performance which means they are definitely getting back their form, they even have a good team dept normally, but they only seem to have suffered some tactical issues at the beginning of the season and they are looking better now but let's still give them some more time to see if they can be consistent with their improvement. Haland is indeed one of the best signing city hd this season.

Tottenham Hotspurperformance had been on decline after losing to Chelsea two weeks ago who ended their unbeaten runs in the league thereafter lost to Wolves 1-2 in an interesting cracker last weekend, I think the team is not as formidable as before due to injury to some of their key players, their next match against Aston Villa would be different, thus another tough match, however I don't think they stand any chance of winning the match, Aston Villa has been in a superb form in their last six previous matches having lost one match against Nothingham Forest thus the best result Tottenham can get against Aston Villa is draw I am not expecting them to win that match except if some of their injured key players are fit and back into the team.
Tottenham seem to be suffering from the effects of the red cards and injures they got recently, they have been poor in their performance in their recent two games but I think it's just a very Temporal situation which they would resolve with time and they still do have some time on their side as the season still have some time.

But then against wolves they did put up a good performance regardless of the injuries and absence of some of their key players, but against nothingham, I think they will do better because they will be playing with most of their players who will be back by then, so hopefully they will be performing better. Nothingham is an average team but will not be really tough will Tottenham, personally I think it's going to be a balanced match.

You’re right. When you’re on a losing streak, that’s when the possibility of the casino being rigged enters your head. But while winning, you’ll probably be thinking of how smart and sharp you are to predict games and win. People love to claim responsibility whenever they’re having a positive outcome and claim fraud and be in total denial whenever they’re starting to lose. I’m moved to say it’s human nature as a lot of people are guilty of this but it’s not. Not everyone claims the system is rigged whenever they’re not having the outcome they wanted. You surely have got to have real evidence of your accusations.
It's usual with people to wan to behave in such manner where they tend to think that the casino is been manipulated because some how they are on a loosing streaks but then it's important we learn to keep an open mind to the fact that it's just luck playing out.

With gambling while you loose, some one else is winning so it's almost a balanced situation and most of the time it turns out you may not be having a Lucky day and doesn't mean it's been manipulated because as you loose someone is Winning but if it were manipulated, then everyone will be loosing,. But then no doubts I think sometimes there could be slight adjustments with the casinos which may look like manipulatios.

An addicted person will hardly take your advice because what he seem to be doing will be always correct in his eyes and that because he is never content and the feeling to keep going is always driving him crazy. I kind of believe, the only way an addicted person can help himself is to find out the core cause and discipline himself because if it is only advice then I can bet my money that it won't be easy to stop it.
Your point is very much valid, an addict will have first admit to the fact that he has gotten to the level of addiction and needs help, if they can firstly realize this, then they can now further proceed to seeking help. Because only when you admit that you are addicted and need help that you will definitely wish to seek one.

Some may excuse their self with the fact that they win and make good money off gambling so they are not addicted but little did they know that consistently gambling without knowing how well to control your self and resist the urge whenever they come at times is a great aspect of gambling that can't be overly emphasis. The best way for an addicted person to get hell is to first admit they need help that way it will make seeking help easier.

Liverpool is one club that has really fallen down the ladder lately, I don't know if it was the exit of sadio mane or something that has affected them so badly, they had a killer squad like two or three seasons ago, that where performing very well even in the champions league. I cannot pin point exactly what the missing piece is, but lately they haven't just lived up to expectations, I don't know if it's my own bias judgement but that's just how I feel about Liverpool
The exit of mane no doubts has it's own fair effect on Liverpool but then they have been doing good regardless except for recently where they seem to be having some slow moments, but I think they are definitely going to improve with time as the league is still have some more time.

I don't think they are really doing any bad though they failed to qualify for the UCL but they aren't doing bad either with the premier league and back at the Europa they have been brilliant except for the recent loss they had because they didn't play with their complete squad. But klop is very focused on making sure he gets the Europa title some I'm sure if there's any poor performance it will be taken care of soonest.

Recently I had an incident with a gambler, this guy is a trader and he has been into trading for quiet a good period of time and has really made a fortune out of it, he is aswell prominent in my country ad many people has been under his mentorship and have turned out successful as traders aswell.

Over the week he did placed a bet on Chelsea to win Manchester city because he said he is a Chelsea fan and that's his way of showing his support and love for his team, so he did put up a post about it on his X-social platform(formerly known as Twitter) and so many persons rushed under his post to criticize and stereotype him for gambling, then I understood why people do keep their gambling habit a secret, because people hardly believe others can aswell gamble for fun and still be responsible enough. They usually think gambling comes with irresponsibility meanwhile out there are responsible gambler's unknown to them.

How do I take advantages over the gambles while I am not gambling anymore?
I tend to invest in the gambling. How?
At my visits in the gambling grounds, I will be lending my funds to the losers who has run out of  funds and willing to bet more if they have more money.
I tends to make this a deal with interest charges with concrete agreement to be secured and I will be opened to also accepting collaterals.

I verily know that I will succeed more of the inexperienced and those gamblers who doesn't have gambling budgets including those who can't take control over their gambling emotions
I don't think this pattern of investment is even safer, because as an experienced gambler that you were I supposed you know better that gambling functions mostly around luck, which means most of your clients needs to be lucky so you be profitable enough els you are definitely going to have certain issues at some point.

Those inexperienced gamblers who have no gambling budget may aswell not have tangible collateral, except you will be having a strick collateral policy els it will be a problem on the long run, especially if you clients are having a bad day they wouldn't be able to pay back instantly and will have to leave their collateral with you and may not be able to come redeem it with the money they are owing and if you go out to recover your funds by selling the collateral, sometimes it may worth less, so it just complicated and not very safe enough

So far, Barcelona has returned with consistency even though they won with few goals, but overall the depth of the Barcelona squad is again solid. Indeed, they need to buy players to replace them when key players are injured, but in fact this is difficult considering that Barcelona's finances are not doing well. but I believe Xavi can utilize the existing players even though with a squad like this it is difficult to win this season.

Lewandowski is starting to get sharp again, but Barcelona must improve performance on all fronts. Especially the defense line which has been a little fragile lately. Luckily they have a goalkeeper like Ter Stegen.
The financial draw down Barcelona is still suffering Will definitely affect them continually because they need some reinforcement at some points if not like you rightly stated, winning the league title this season is definitely not going to be an easy one for them because they lack good replacement for injured players.

Lewandoski is back on his feet and already showing with some good level of improvement but then the fact still remains that he is very much injury prone and that could be a problem because he is not the only striker in the team but he happens to be more creative and have some very good influence in the front line so his absence will definitely affect the team just like it did most recently so getting someone who can properly fit in his absence Incase he gets injured again is very much important.

most people will say this but however there is no team that can break Bayern Munich's dominance because even though Dortmund almost broke their dominance last season they failed and this season there is Leverkusen who will try to put pressure on Munich to break their dominance of the bundesliga title but if Leverkusen makes a mistake several times it will definitely be very easy for Bayern Munich to shift him from the top of the standings and Leverkusen opportunity to get even more superior players comes in january and we'll see if Xabi can get talented players to strengthen the team consistently.
It's true Bayern Munich has got a very strong dominance in the bundesliga and over the years most teams have really found it very difficult trying to break their dominance as several attempts has failed and currently considering the team dept, I don't think they could get broken any time soon.

Lewandoski in Bayern Munich always performing the goal magic for them was another big advantage they have got over every other team in the bundesliga. Bayern Leverkusen is the only team currently with the potential to probably bring an end to Bayern Munich dominance in the bundesliga but they still need to strength their team, Xabi has done a great job so far in the team but when facing a team like Bayern Munich he will need a really different and better approach if he must stop the bravians, but I believe if by January Leverkusen gets the right reinforcement they are definitely going to be able to contend the bravians well enough.
