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.

For me no team asides of Manchester City and Real Madrid can have a chance right now to become the champion of the season of UCL, the 15% for Bayern can be accurate but also overstimate, because they havent played against any good team until now. And this Bayern is going from less to more, but lets see how they do against big teams, against a weak Man utd they strugled a lot.
I couldn't agree any less with you, Manchester city and Real Madrid not only perform so well in their group in the champions league but they aswell perform brilliantly in their various domestic league where they are at the top of the table showing how well informed they are in their strength, they both have some level of consistency aswell.

Bayern Munich isn't a team to underestimate because their domestic league where they play too isn't an easy one, they also have it very competitive there aswell yet they are doing well and back at the champions league they aren't performing any less although it seems as if they are yet to meet teams who are in better form as compared to those in their group but then they will most likely still have they form to face other tougher team after the group stage and probably get a good result.

Yeah you have a point mate I no that irrespective of Manchester City leading the premier League table they have just few points different from others but however considering Manchester City performance and the remaining clubs they will likely meet there is every tendency that they may win, so I believe that there remaining matches is going to be a win match for them.

Perhaps is obvious that Arsenal and Liverpool are really not much in there good form compared to Manchester City so the possibility of meeting Manchester City is very low.
Manchester city has been really excellent with their performance so far I'm the premier league, from the beginning of the season up until this moment they have had only two loses in the premier league so far and they aswell perform well in the UCL too where they are at the top of their group.

Arsenal and Liverpool are in a good form but Manchester city currently have a more stable form than Liverpool and Arsenal do have, the last time Arsenal and Manchester city met in the premier league, Arsenal won and that was the first time Manchester city lost in the premier league but I don't think Liverpool has mey with Manchester city this season I will really anticipate the fixture and see how well Liverpool will perform facing Manchester city.

It is not easy for someone to maintain control and control their emotions when they experience defeat, someone will behave unnaturally by gambling continuously to chase their losses and this behavior will definitely be carried out by someone who is addicted to gambling. And it's true, considering gambling as entertainment and not considering it as a place to earn money, then he will remain controlled in playing gambling and his sense of responsibility when he loses, he doesn't chase losses but he considers money to be the smallest part of the loss from the gambling entertainment he does. so he didn't really regret it.
Controlling your emotions is something that is really difficult to do at times and if one can overcome this and be able to control themselves then they can maintain a healthy gambling habit thereby gambling responsibly, most times before addiction comes lack of self control of the gambler.

It's usually best when one considers gambling as entertainment because that way they become less emotional about gambling and gamble responsibly, not chasing losses when they loose because since they were only trying to get entertained, they use what they can only afford to loose at a time but when the intention is to make money they the approach turns out different, this includes the amount they stake and how well they make their decision and picks.

Gambling and trading are two completely different things and gambling depends on a person's luck but training depends on experience and a skill. And yet there are huge amount of gamblers who don't use Bitcoin or don't know about Bitcoin.  Most of the gamblers don't like trading because they always get an instant result of profit or loss from gambling but trading requires patience and long time analysis which is very difficult so I don't think a gambler is that much.  Will be willing to suffer. So I don't think a gambler can be a bitcoin trader. but a bitcoin trader can be a gambler it is easy for them but it is not easy to be a trader from gambler activity
A trader can turn out a good gambler but a gambler can never turn out a good trader because they are both using different approach but unknown bro a gambler he may be tempted to think since they are both taking risk, they are doing almost same thing until they probably venture into trading then they may understand it's totally different if you want to be profitable.

Trading requires skills and some good level of discipline which in most cases most gamblers lack so if they happen to get into trading, this habit they already have wouldn't allow them well enough to be able to trade profitably because they may most likely approach it like gambling since they both speculate. When it has to do with Bitcoin trading, a whole lot of patience is very much required but gamblers seem to lack it because with gambling they get almost instant results.

I think Laverkusen will secure perfect points in this group phase, and the remaining two matches in the future are likely to be wiped out with a win. I thought Liverpool would be unbeatable before, but unexpectedly they lost points on matchday 4 against Toulouse, but for me Klopp squad still deserves to be the favorite.

On the other hand, there are two unbeaten clubs apart from Laverkusen, Marsielle and Atalanta, but both clubs failed to pick up perfect points. Slavia Praha also cannot be underestimated, Mourinho squad must admit that their strengths are quite balanced after beating each other.

That's right when teams from the Champions League join the competition again, the competition will automatically become more intense. For now we only see a few teams that are favorites, in the future it will clearly be very different when the competition enters the quarter-finals and semifinals.
Leverkusen is definitely going pass the group stage of the Europa this season as they have won all four game so far and have the heights point I'm their group already for me I don't see the remaining two games they have to play as any challenge for them as they are currently in the best form to successfully win those fixtures.

Marseille tho unbeaten in the Europa they have continually performed poorly in their domestic league making it feel like they are much better with the Europa than their domestic league, but then when other teams from the UCL will be joining them it's most likely they may not be able to stay much long enough because the competition will become more tensed than it has been at the group stage were the played against teams with relatively equal strength and some weaker than they are. Mourinho's team has been too inconsistent to really speculate how well they will perform in the Europa.

Bundesliga has really turned out very competitive in recent times with the performance displayed by bit the big and average teams, it's usually use to be a rotation amongst a certain big teams to by this time be at the top of the table and a predetermining prediction of the possible winner of the league title usually turns out easy to predict.

But now with the likes of Stuttgart and other teams which were considered on the average scale last season now frequenting top of the table and amongst the top five, even with their inconsistency, is really bringing the competition he and making the league more interesting and very interestingly has to be the stability and recent consistency of Leverkusen since the beginning of this season is one that is and has continually received commendations to the coach and teams as a whole.

In the French Soccer League yesterday Lens vs Marseille in the match between these two teams, Lens scored 1 goal and won the match. In the first half of the game, neither team could score a goal for a very good performance. However, Lens team scored 1 goal before the end of the game.  Player J. Gradit scored in the 90th minute. Marseille team tried hard to score in this match but Marseille team could not score any goals due to the great performance of the goal keeper of Lens team.
Marseille actually seem to have had a bad day because they did played better and had the best performance when compared to that which lens did played but then the lens keep was in his very good form that day as he did made brilliant saves that really did helped the team maintain their frame all through the match.

Marseille was expected to win that game in their form which was asumed to be better when compared to that which lens had, but them they had a bad day as all their chances was not been converted well enough to get a goal and the defense line from lens aswell did a good job with their resistance, in foot ball underestimating any team is what any team shouldn't do to another because Marseille appeared like a better side which they actually are but luck wasn't on their side that day but then they did performed greatly.
2610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 14, 2023, 03:32:44 PM
Inter Milan beats Frosinone 2 nil to remained top on the Seria A table with 31 points. Their previous game was outstanding, watching the goals was really amazing and entertaining. I watched the highlight yesterday, Federico Dimarco long range goal in the midfield which the ball travel directly to the goal post with Frosinone goalkeeper, Stefano Turati jump and try to get a hold of the ball but he was calculated too late to save the ball from crossing the goal-line. Federico Dimarco goal have already put the Italy international into the contest for the Puskas award.
That goal has to be the goal of the week because it was one of the best and most brilliant amongst all goals that has been scored within the week in the serie A, I think most likely the keeper never expected that goal could possibly get in to the net considering the distance it traveled so before he could realize it's in the net already and all he could do was a failed attempt at trying to save the ball.

But then his defenders weren't even close by to help salvage the situation even though they couldn't have done anything because the ball seem to have traveled fast beyond their range. Federico was really brilliant in that game asides his spectacular goal he also had a brilliant performance especially in the second half of the game, I think he has to be the man of the match in that game, Inter Milan continually maintain their position at the top of the table and are really performing well enough with little to no inconsistency, Juventus would definitely have to improve to be able to displace them.

Xavi is far better injured players need to be back and the club will be in the right movement and direction. Xavi Hernandez and his players are choosing direction over speed the season is long they will catch up.
I agree it's very true this may be his strategy to get some more time and probably end up with the league title by the end of the season, regardless of how inconsistent his performance with his team is currently, xavi has tried to make sure he maintains a certain range of position such that he doesn't go below the top six so when his injured players are back it becomes even easier to climb up the table and possibly secure the title by the end of the season.

The biggest rival xavi may be having in the la Liga this season are currently adding to their points already and further piling up some more points ahead on the league table so by the time xavi's injured players may be back on the pitch, it may be that they are some good points behind their biggest rival and they will have tohet several series of wins to be able to meet up and this is the only pitfall I find with this strategy except he will be getting occasionally wins along side to continually keep his points growing just before then.

Despite getting an unexpected loss against Lens Arsenal are still going on nicely in the group stage. I assume we can say that they have qualified for 1/8 finals already. They would probably make it there as 1st as well. I really liked their performance against Sevilla the last time. They were in full control. However this might not be a very healthy example to take into consideration to believe in Arsenal for next stages.

They have shown some inconsistencies during the season. If we see that in bigger matches in the Champions League then they could say goodbye early to the tournament.
Currently with their current points they have so far, Arsenal has qualified amongst it's group members for the next stage of the champions league, they are at the top of their group with nine points even with their inconsistency so far, although they have not lost one of their UCL games, they still remain at the top and their next match isn't a determinant for their qualification.

Making it pass the round of sixteen better known as the knock out stage is something we can't really determine now , although they have been really good with their performance so far but we are yet to have the complete teams qualify so who they will be meeting at this stage is yet uncertain and it's important to know that at this stage everyone plays their very best so the competition is much more than bit was at the group stage which will require more efforts than they did at the group stage so let wait till the draws for the round of sixteen is out then we could better determine if they could make it pass that stage.

After watching many matches involving various clubs, I can make an informed guess about the champion for the 2023/2024 championship, Manchester City boasts talented players and an awesome coach. Their consistent performance each year reinforces my belief that they will victorious but Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal need to give more effort to compete at the same level.
Manchester city has been excellent this season and that's absolutely in no doubts because it's reflected even in their results. Their performance this session has really been brilliant and in the past two seasons they have had very similar brilliance in their performance and have most times been the favourite for the league title.

Chelsea is just beginning to get back in good form because like it was seen they had a weak start this season and weren't looking promising at all but in recent times they seem to have been showing some gradual improvement but I think it's yet too early to start seeing them as able to compete at such level, tho it's very possible they get back inform and get in on the race to win the league title but not at this time they still have some few more games to play after which we could tell they are now back strong enough, but Liverpool and Arsenal has got great potential here in the premier league.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 13, 2023, 11:26:38 AM

The only hope for Manchester United is to win their match against Galatasaray, and if possible win Bayern Munich or draw them, but if they fail to win Galatasaray away from home, they need to put all their effort to win Bayern Munich which I know will be very hard for them unless they are lucky.
If Copenhangen can get a surprising win against Bayern, then it will be over for Both Galatasaray and Manchester Unite. But as it stand now, Galatasaray if they are able to win Manchester United will have hope of qualifying ahead of Copenhangen because winning Bayern will be hard for them.
It will only be a hope for them if they win but if they draw there's no hope winning is the only hope because if they do they will be having six points and Copenhagen may likely draw or loose against Bayern but I don't think they could win because bayern is in a very good form.

The results of the game against Copenhagen doesn't really matter to Bayern because they have qualified already so they could choose to win or loose against Copenhagen but if they eventually loose against Copenhagen then Manchester united wins, they will have to be differentiated by goal difference and Manchester united currently have good number of goals so it may most likely favour Manchester united but then these are all speculations, Bayern Munich is the only team who has gotten a guaranteed qualification in their group already.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 13, 2023, 10:09:24 AM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

   -  I don't think there is any motivation to talk about why a gambler keeps coming back to a gambling casino. Just for example, I just play for fun; maybe with other gamblers, they come back because they think they are lucky the day they gamble in the casino.

Or unless you are an addicted gambler, for sure you will come back because the body of a gambling addict is looking for it, and this is his routine, of course. Even if he has no money, he will find a way to gamble too, right?
Addiction could be a motivation although it's a negative motivation but then it's actually a motivation because it came with this continually drive to always get back at the casino with hopes of definitely winning big some day and probably recovering all they has ever been lost.

Sometimes the need to satisfy that urge as a gambler will definitely keep the gamblers coming back to the casino wether they are winning or not but then it's actually a bad motivation as it's fuelled by false hope most of the times. Another could be the fun the person probably drives gambling especially for those who aren't gamblers and aren't gambling to make money or as a job opportunity but maybe for just the fun.

I think arsenal is not still ready to win the league this season,  whenever arsenal meets big teams I can't feel that desperation of them winning the march,  they just play to see what will the end result will look like . The mentality arsenal is possessing right now can't make them to win the league this season.  I can't see that see that seriousness in them, arsenal just need to see themselves winning their coming games if they want . This season arsenal have many challengers which might now be that easy for them to get the title.
I've always had that feeling that arsenal may likely repeat what they did last season, because winning the league requires much more than just starting off the season so well last season they actually did well past midsesson and still ended up not winning the league title.

The last time I saw much passion and zeal I'm them to win was when they played against Manchester city, after then they have just been on average performances just they they are still in their very good form and so they still win matches regardless but it doesn't look sustainable to me yet but one thing is sure, they will most likely finish tops amongst the top four or five just like they did last season but if the improve and stay consistent it's very possible they may have a chance with the league title.

They make advertisements on the internet only for the needs of their casino network so that more people know and play in their casinos or in online gambling. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this, but what is wrong is that there are people who play in casinos who do not have self-control so that they become addicted. If they can control themselves while playing, maybe it will minimize the harmful effects of gambling.
Advertising casinos is basically a marketing strategy that every other business employs to get traffic and increase their customers base because the larger the customer base the more profitable they definitely hope to be, it's left with the customers to choose how to react to the adverts.

Like you rightly said there's nothing wrong with the casinos advertising and there's also nothing wrong with the casinos themselves but the problems continually lays within the gamblers who react in a way that ends up detrimental to them, and that's why most casinos always advocate responsible gambling always on their platforms, gambling it's self if followed the way it aught to be , it's actually fun and not harmful but gamblers abuse it to their detriment because usually anything fun can definitely be addictive.

Napoli's loss to empoli was a sad one for me because I really anticipated Napoli's win in that match but how it turned out that Napoli struggled all through that game and at the end they lost when empoli got through their defense and netted a goal at the later minutes of the second half.

I think it's now obvious osimhens absence is definitely affecting Napoli in a way, he is currently injured and was unable to play in that match and their performance was really not good enough as it has been when osimhen hasn't been injured. empoli did performed well tho for a team that has not been any good this season and are just a point away from relegation, them seem to have some kind of strength with bigger teams as Napoli happens to be the second big team in the serie A they have won this season.

If I were that young man and I happened to win millons of dollars after absconding far to continue gambling I will definitely rerun to my family and have them get a fair share of my proceed because i understand they were only trying to help me out of my addiction after which I will go seek professional help since at that point I can be sure to afford it, because some how he may not be comfortable in that habit of his but because he is optimistic he keep on hoping one day it will rewards him.
2620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: November 13, 2023, 09:15:55 AM
It is advisable for a gambler to use spare money to gamble, this was the initial purpose for gambling, people increase their stakes most times because of greed, to avoid losing more in gambling one should avoid using much funds, gamble when you have the time to do so that's if you must, some people see gambling as a social practice, but I don't think there reasoning is correct, gambling is an addictive behavior, at such one needs to be very careful, when involving themselves in it, trying to recover loses has been a major reason why people get more addicted to gambling, this should be curtailed by gamblers.
Greed has been one of the biggest challenge most gamblers face while gambling, not allowing their selves get too greedy sometimes is something they really do find difficult because they are trying to make a fortune gambling rather than having fun gambling.

Using spare money to gamble will definitely be the best because that way it's mostly money you can afford to loose and you will have lesser emotions attached to your gambling thereby making sure you make reasonable nd rational picks, but when you use money that is actually meant for something you get high expectations and gamble irresponsibly, using big fund and loosing it will definitely cause one to want to recover them but will end up becoming addicted because they continually Indulge.
