lol I don't really understand how you found this hard to believe. People are fucking weird, and they do all sorts of odd things, and being superstitious about their gambling habits is really far from one of the more outrageous things that people tend to do.

Personally for me, I would be annoyed at some random person asking about my bets. It really isn't anyone's business, so just out of privacy concerns I'd probably tell them to buzz off too. 

With how outrageous people can be, being superstitious in gambling is the least thing I'll ever worry about. There are people offering literally all sorts of weird and crazy things to whatever god they worship to just to win something. With that said, I still wouldn't let other people see my bets. I don't want to be on the receiving end of blame if they even copied my bets.

Referring to the title of this thread, the problem of belief is a phenomenon that is familiar to me personally. In Asia, there are various cultures and beliefs that are adhered to. no exception, when involved with gambling. I personally, have no problem with beliefs that are called strange by some gamblers who think more intelligently and modernly.
But believe me, even we will never understand something that someone does with his gambling that involves strange beliefs in gambling. but certainly, they exist and as long as it becomes a principle for them, or is part of the culture. everything is legal, even they have the right to express what they believe  like what we do, which puts forward something that is more realistic and logical. but in fact, those who believe in superstition have never opposed the modern style of gambling.

As I said at the beginning, in Asia there are many cultures that some people believe can be involved with gambling, especially regarding the lottery. they will try some methods, tricks, methods, which involve the beliefs we call superstitions. but anyway, it all depends on how we interpret it. if we don't believe it, just let them do as they want to do. most importantly, no one is disturbed and harmed. I personally am more realistic, especially when talking about football betting. research and analysis, is a part that I believe in when it comes to betting.

Joselu will only be a complement in the Real Madrid squad and if to make him a starter, it seems Ancelotti still doubts that. It can be seen from pre-season matches to domestic league competitions that Ancelotti has never dared to use 3 attackers in his formation and he prefers to put Vini and Rodrygo in every game. The results can sometimes be good or bad, depending on how we observe it. I think a Champions League quarter-final with the current squad is already a pretty good achievement, but if they get to the final it will sound like nonsense.

Maybe yes, maybe not. but if we refer to the pre-season matches and the first matches in La Liga, it seems that Anceloti wants to perfect the system that he applies to his team's squad with a different pattern. maybe as you said, if Joselu only became a supplementary player or became a supersub to replace one of the strikers from Brazil, namely Vini Jr or Rodrygo.

It could too, if Ancelotti just wants to establish a new pattern for his squad. in the end, Madrid will use the usual pattern with a 4-3-3 system. because after all, the 4-3-3 pattern was Carlo Anceloti's mainstay. plus, players are familiar with this system. so, only Joselu needs to adapt to the Madrid players. For sure, we can't confirm anything yet and don't know for sure what Carlo Ancelotti is planning for his squad. because, we have only seen Madrid play its match once in a real competition. there are other games ahead, and Ancelotti could use a different system depending on the needs of the squad and the team he is facing.

Talking about the Champions League, I will not rush to give assumptions or judgments. let's just enjoy it, every team that will play match after match either in the domestic league or after the Champions League is rolled out.

In this transfer window, Bernardo Silva got offers from many teams, and maybe the most generous offers were from Barcelona and Saudi Arabia, It seems Bernardo Silva himself wants to play for Barcelona in the next season, and if they offer him the better and higher amount of money he can even leave Manchester City but currently the contract of Bernardo Silva will expire in the next two years and Manchester City even want to extend the offer for this 29-year-old palter which can make it even harder for other teams to have Bernardo Silva.
~~

The Portuguese player is one of the keys to Pep Guardiola's squad. Initially, Pep invited every player to leave if he did not want to stay with TheCitizen. but now Pep doesn't seem to want to let go of his players after Gundohan and Mahrez left, the peak when City fell to Arsenal in the Community Shield. after that, Pep Guardiola retained the two players who were originally going to leave in the transfer window this summer.

Kyle Walker was originally rumored to be leaving for the German league, but in the end he stayed at the Etihad Stadium.
Bernardo Silva received several offers, even from Saudi clubs who were more promising in terms of salary as well as transfer prices, but the player was reluctant to accept these offers. so did PSG, who had offered a proposal paid in cash, but City rejected the offer because the price was too low. well, Barcelona is a club that also wants the services of the City midfielder, in fact Barcelona really wanted the player since the beginning of last season. unfortunately, financial problems became a problem for them. now Barcelona is linked again with Bernardo Silva. but in fact, Barcelona was unable to sign him from the Etihad Stadium. despite the fact, the midfielder is eager to move to Camp Nou. which in the end, it is very likely that Bernardo Silva will stay with Manchester City. at least, until his contract expires or one season ahead.

Looking at the starting line up, Al Nassr only fielded their local players with Sadio Mane as the first striker up front, while Ettifaq came down with full strength, several of whom were foreign players, apart from that defeat, it has proven that the club defended by players from the European league will perform better, and of the 18 clubs competing in the Saudi Pro League, only a few have bought players from the European league, so the competition here will be unequal, from now on, we can predict which clubs will compete for the title, at least there will only be Only 4-5 clubs and 4 are owned by the Public Investment Fund.

Good start for Steven Gerrard made his first debut with his team's squad to overthrow Al Nassr, as well as Jordan Henderson's debut, he played very well. referring to what you said, actually Al Ettifaq is not filled with outside players who have big names. of all the players Al Ettifaq has, only Jordan Henderson has a well-known name. As for Moussa Dembele, he doesn't really shine like other top European players owned by Al Nassr.
instead, as you said. that in the match against Al Ettifaq, Al Nassr only played Sadio Mane. I don't know what happened or what the coach Luis Castro thought, the fact is he didn't play his starting eleven. Ronaldo, Brozovic, Talisca and Fotana were absent from that match. there are two scenarios, it could be that the coach wants to test his team without the full main squad. or, Luis Casto underestimated the team that was his opponent in this match. but what is certain, Al Nassr fell in this fight.

Well, referring back to what you said. before Saudi clubs brought in top European players, that Saudi Pro League competition was no different from Europe's top big competitions. there are only a few clubs that are included in the ranks of the top teams. Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Itthad and Al Shabab, are teams that have always competed in the top flight of the Saudi Pro League. despite the fact that since the 2017 season, Al Hilal has tended to be the team that has won the most trophies in this league. So, basically in this competition, we can also predict which team will win the trophy this season. none other than, the 4 teams that were acquired by PIF, have a very high probability than the other teams.

Lorient's defense is indeed very solid in the match, although PSG dominates the match and even 78% ball possession compared to 22%, but the final settlement is still not good so PSG is unable to score goals. Gocalo Ramos's debut, Kang-in Lee and Marco Asensio have not been seen so satisfying and maybe because of the midfielder who cannot provide measurable bait for them to score goals. The presence of Dembele and Mbappe will add to PSG's attack power to be more dangerous and this will be more interesting to watch in the second week's match.

The next match PSG will face Toulouse and this should be an easy match for PSG players to get full points. Rumors regarding the move of Bernardo Silva have not found a bright spot and even Barcelona is also reportedly interested in him. There is no certainty about its beauty and the player has stated that he wants to survive at Manchester City until the contract ends, so Enrique must try to maximize the midfield with the existing composition.

This is not a new phenomenon for us, if some of the top clubs are not optimal in their first debut after the League has been rolled out again. that's what happened to the PSG squad, anyway Enrique played 6 newcomers to become the main starters in their first match. in particular, their forward line players. as a result, the match did not go as the club expected even though they actually played not bad.

Kang-in Lee was rotated by Enrique to become a winger, in fact this player does not play on the wing. however, in that match his role was not too bad. Gocalo Ramos didn't take part in pre-season matches, automatically he can only do his best and try to adapt quickly. for the midfield players, they are pretty good especially Manuel Ugarte. Unfortunately, the results did not meet their expectations.
Maybe they haven't yet achieved a strong bonding and chemistry between the players hasn't been established yet. Next, Enrique has homework to forge a stronger bond between his players. besides that, the presence of Mbappe and Dembele will give new energy to the PSG squad itself. thus, Enrique can be creative with the system he wants. well, like I said in many posts, now PSG's only problem is the lack of well-established attacking midfielders who are also creative. even if they don't succeed in signing Bernaldo Silva, at least PSG can look for other options before the transfer window ends. next week PSG will test their strength at Toulouse headquarters, three points is the result they must get in the match later.

Somehow I find the timing at Bayern Munich debatable. First they announce that Yann Sommer is leaving the club. And just one day later, Bayern Munich announces that Manuel Neuer is not yet fit. Did the problems and difficulties in Neuer's rehabilitation suddenly arise? I doubt it. It was obvious that Yann Sommer had no future at the club. But why was  he not told that right from the start?

Initially, Tuchel said that he wanted Neuer to be the main goalkeeper in the 2023/2024 season. then, rumors Neuer has recovered from his injury. which in the end, Yann Sommer chose to leave because you can be sure he will not be the main goalkeeper anymore. but what makes me quite confused is why Bayern are still looking for a goalkeeper. At first I thought maybe Neuer needed time to stabilize his fitness and at the same time adapt to his squad. however, the situation was increasingly uncertain.

IMO, Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers ever, he has contributed greatly to Bayern Munich and the German national team. now he will be 38 years old, which is where it looks like Bayern needs regeneration as a replacement. I think it's time for Bayern to look for the ideal goalkeeper from the start, or Bayern can use Sommer's services for at least the next 1-2 seasons. Thus, a chaotic situation like this would not occur. even when Bayern are too focused on the Kane transfer saga, they forget that the goalkeeper is also an important part of the team's own squad.

Bad start to the season for Barcelona because they had to draw their first match which was actually only against medium clubs.
The two clubs each had 1 red card reward but Barcelona did not take advantage of this to create a chance to win and could only play in a draw until the match was over so it was a shame because Barcelona could only save 1 point at the start of season, whereas before we all knew that Barcelona is superior at the start of this season.
Now it is Real Madrid who has the advantage at the start of the season, it is unpredictable.

From the first match only because of the draw I doubted that Barcelona could develop more quickly and of course Xavi is now a little disappointed that the players did not play as he expected.

IMO, it's not something bad at the start of the match that Barcelona played. after all, tactically and technically Barcelona did not play badly against Getafe. it's just that, they were unlucky not to be able to convert every opportunity to make a goal. naturally because the home team really played defensively, they played really close with a 4-5-1 pattern. Also, Getafe's defense line played solidly and in discipline, which in the end Xavi Hernandez's squad was unable to overthrow his opponent.
by the way, in this match Xavi tried to implement a system with a different pattern. maybe that's why, they still need adaptation. plus, some newcomers like Gundohan, Romeu, seem to still need to adapt to their teammates and at the same time adapt to the system that Xavi uses. Last season, Barcelona experienced something similar against Rayo in the first match of La Liga. now, they returned to a draw when they visited Getafe headquarters. next, Xavi will ensure that his team will play optimally to get full points.

On the contrary, Madrid as usual made its debut in La Liga with impressive results. however, there is still a lot of worry from Los Blancos fans because they do not have the ideal Benzema successor. I think we'll just enjoy every bit that La Liga has to offer, after all, it's still early days and there are still many matches left for these two teams to play.

To be honest, Neymar had practically no options for continuing his European career, given the financial needs of the football player himself and his injury. Although there were rumors about Barcelona and Neymar seemed to be ready for a salary reduction for this, but here, in theory, the position of Xavi played a role, who did not want to destroy the prevailing microclimate in the team due to the arrival of a capricious star. Therefore, for me personally, two options were dominant. One option is in the MLS to Messi, and the other to Saudi Arabia. Neymar chose the option where there is more money for himself and for PSG.

Should be at his current age, Neymar can play more established like Messi. he doesn't always have to play aggressively to show his full potential with his samba style of play. which in the end, no doubt he often became the target of defenders of opposing teams. Not infrequently, Neymar often gets hard tackles. besides that, players who have individual skills accompanied by fast running often experience injuries. and things like that, obviously very detrimental to him. At the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Neymar got a hard tackle which in the end he was injured. in Ligue 1, moments before the crucial match in the Champions League against Bayern he was injured again. Neymar should be able to play more calmly, not always in every match he shows his skills when it's not needed.

But now that Neymar Jr has gone to Al Hilal, the deal is now signed! all paperwork is complete - and medical tests also passed today. After the deal was sealed, Neymar joined the Saudi league, according to Romano's report.
In the end, it's a shame that this star left PSG and joined a Saudi club. Actually, I'm really worried because he still really deserves to play in European competitions. it's just that, the choice has been unanimous. after all, it is unlikely that European clubs brought him with a background of several factors. as for Barcelona, ​​as you said. Xavi doesn't want to destroy the existing microclimate due to his arrival. after all, Barcelona will not be able to pay the star's wages. so, Al Hilal was the ideal choice for the star.
2669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 14, 2023, 01:30:39 PM
Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

To be honest, I really admire Neymar as a great star player.  it would be a shame if in the end Neymar accepted an offer to play in the Saudi Pro League, even though in fact he still deserved to take part in the European League. but apparently, the player didn't have many choices so in the end he considered accepting an offer from Al Hilal.

Referring to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Neymar to Al Hilal. this document has been agreed upon by all parties involved, Neymar will travel to Saudi Arabia this week. referring to previous reports, it seems that Neymar was tempted by a big offer from Al Hilal. and I don't think, if in the end the player accepts the offer. even so, at least the competition in the Saudi Pro League will be even more exciting with several stars playing at different clubs. Al Hilal chose the right choice, to compete with other clubs and one of them was the rival, Al Nassr.

By bringing Neymar to King Fahd Sadium, the coach Jorge Jesus has several options than players who can play in various positions. that means, the coach can adapt his system to the needs of the team and the team that will be his opponent. not only can Malcom be played as a center forward, that Neymar also has the ability to do so. I hope he will continue to give his best performance even though he is no longer playing in the European league competition.

The first time I tried slots in my life, I use 1Eur to make 240Euro, this was my most joyous day in gambling, it was so unexpected, I freaked out and freaking lost my mind, since then I started believing that gambling do have some surprises when you don't expect them.

The saddest Slots spinning day was when I use 300$ to spin for hours and had on 20$ left, that was where I finally decided to cash out, I felt bad for a week before I got over it, that was when I started having a gambling limit in mind.

Till today, I have had some losses and also some fine hits, what about you guys? Do you have any Slots spinning story to share? I'm sure some people are more lucky than many others.

If I had to add up the total, I don't know how much money I lost playing slots. vice versa, I really don't remember how much I was able to win if added up. but certainly, more lose than win. luckily in every time i play slots i am used to a small bankroll. so every time I lose in a betting session it doesn't make me suffer. unique, even though playing with a small bankroll. if luck is on our side, the victory that I get can be doubled. and I've won my version of big wins, though they're rare. but at least, slot games always offer fun entertainment. even with a small bankroll, we can still play and enjoy the game sessions.

The point I want to say, there is no formula that can define luck. so, just try to play normally. conditionally, the money can afford to lose. if the game is not fun, you should stop and you can come back another time.

By the way i am more inclined to bet on sports, for me sports betting is more of a different kind of fun. You are adrenaline that is motivated when making bets, especially while watching the match in progress. but whatever it is, each type of gambling has its own uniqueness. you can enjoy it, according to your expression.

I think that person do not only suffer from being drugged as what the family claims, but most probably he is also suffering from being mentally ill, perhaps because of his gambling addiction that made him lose a lot and lost his right thinking. Because let's face the reality that no matter how drunk a person is, if he is not mentally ill, he will not do any shameless act that will surely make him regret the day after that.

If you read the link shared by the OP carefully, you will have a little idea about what is related to the case that happened to this man. according to The New York post, this guy was in Las Vegas just for the bachelorette party. which means, he is not playing gambling but more to celebrate something with his friends. I just want to be a neutral reader, with reference to this link. that there wasn't a single piece of news that led to the gambling he was doing, apart from a screenshot of a naked man twirling from a poker table. the rest, the essence of the news is that this man has been drugged until in the end he starts to become paranoid and act irrationally.

Referring to what you said, the fact is that we can only assume and speculate without knowing the real truth. there is also the info shared by the OP, not telling details related to what happened. but it would be very natural, if there were various responses and opinions from the community. but in my personal opinion, that this case is not related to gambling. yep, because after all I have to refer to the news sources shared by the OP. besides as far as my experience and knowledge, as drunk as someone is, rarely do actions that are beyond common sense. except, this man consumed something that made him do something abnormal. my conclusion, I stick to the references provided by the link the OP shared. which means, something that happened to this man had nothing to do with gambling.

There are problems in defense, it's obvious, Ulreich is not the goalkeeper who can adequately spend the whole season. They focused all their energy on buying Kane, but completely missed the point that they have a much more serious problem with the goalkeeper. By the way, the Bayern attack also had a rather weak match, and Leipzig is an uncomfortable opponent for Bayern, but when Bayern cannot score a single goal in the entire match, this is also alarming.

Obviously, I completely ignored that the goalkeeper for Bayern in the match against Leipzig was Sven Ulreich. To be honest, I didn't watch this match, but considering that the Munich goalkeeper is Sven Ulreich, it seems like it could be a consideration that caused one of the factors in Bayern Munich's defeat to Leipzig. and if I watch the highlights of the match, it feels like the goal occurred due to the goalkeeper's lack of agility.
he was very weak during one-on-one with the Leipzig players, Ulreich was not fast enough when he was going to block the opponent's kick. besides that, several Bayern defenders did underperform. Pavard, was the weakest player in the match. in midfield, Laimer's performance was also not good. especially for the center forward, Mathys Tel cannot be relied on in crucial matches. in fact, he was not able to play well. so naturally, if Bayern were unable to score in the match against Leipzig.

Next week, Bayern will travel to Werder Bremen headquarters. like it or not, Tuchel must maximize his squad to restore the team's motivation and spirit to carry out match after match in the Bundesliga. Kane, can take part to show his skills in the match against Bremen. so, defeat to Leipzig in the German Super Cup, will not stop them from performing even better in the following matches.

Barcelona could not get full points in the first match. The match was a goalless draw. I think many gamblers lost their money in this match. Because no one thought that the Barcelona team would fail to win against a team like Getafe in the first match of the season.

Barcelona kept their match strategy unchanged from last season. They wanted to control the match by possession of the ball. And in this match, Barcelona have 75% of the ball possession. However, after Raphinha received a red card in the first half of the match, Barcelona's attacking performance was a bit slow. This is why Barcelona can't score any goals. Getafe also played completely defensively in this match. Barcelona made several attacks but failed to score.

Right, there will be lots of gamblers who will lose this bet. because, theoretically Getafe has a fairly obvious gap from Barcelona. Barcelona are the reigning La Liga champions, while Getafe finished 15th last season. unfortunately, the match was running with high tension which in the end Raphinha was rewarded with a red card. if I refer to the statistics of the match, in this match Barcelona was just unlucky to win the match. in terms of play, Barcelona controlled 75% of ball possession, 14 attempted shots, 4 shots on target, 4 big opportunities, but none of them were able to convert into goals. tactically, Barcelona is far superior to Getafe.

Naturally, because Getafe prefers the option to play defensively. Apart from that, several players in Getafe's defense did play quite well, so that Barcelona found it difficult to break into the opposing team's goal. plus, the appearance of the goalkeeper David Soria was quite impressive by making three saves. as a result, the game ended with a score of 0-0.
IMO, it looks like Xavi made the wrong decision regarding the rotation of his players, in which Xavi applied the 4-2-3-1 pattern. maybe, if Gavi is played as the main starter, Gundohan plays in the middle, or duets with De Jong, the situation will be different. but at least Xavi knew what he had to improve from his squad regardless of Raphina getting a red card. The result of this match was reminiscent of Barcelona's match last season which was held to a draw by Rayo at the start of the La Liga match. Furthermore, Barcelona must overthrow Cadiz in next week's meeting.

I don't see any problems for Real Madrid when they beat Bilbao. Real Madrid played well with the duo of Vinicius and Rodrygo, but Bellingham also helped a lot.  Rodrygo and Bellingham both scored in Real Madrid's win, but of course Real Madrid is very different without Benzema.

Ancelotti may not need a replacement for Benzema as long as Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham are able to make a good contribution regarding the result. Their performance is good, but Real Madrid may be in a bit of trouble because they have to lose several players due to injury.

Madrid played quite impressively when they visited Bilbao headquarters, Bellingham's role in that match was very impressive. Bellingham touched the ball 75 times, 40 accurate passes and contributed 1 goal. inversely proportional to Vini Jr, his performance was less than optimal. maybe, because of the rotation made by Ancelotti. Likewise with the other players, they played quite solidly which in the end was able to conquer the opposing team at San Mames, Bilbao's headquarters.

Well, referring to what you said, it's clear that Madrid's game is very different without Benzema. after all, Don Carlo implemented a different system. so it's very natural, if the style of play and the system applied are different. when Benzema was still with Madrid, Don Carlo always implemented a 4-3-3 formation pattern. Vini Jr, Benzema, Rodrygo, have always been Ancelotti's mainstay. now, Benzema has left and Ancelotti seems to need a new system for his squad. although in fact, Ancelotti could have implemented a 4-3-3 pattern if Joselu was played as the main starter.
But anyway, quite a good start for Madrid. although too short to judge in terms of consistency. we just follow every game they play. and, how is it when Madrid play a match in the Champions League later. but we agree, if Madrid needs a successor to replace Benzema. at least, Madrid needs an established pure sticker. as for Joselu, I haven't seen his contribution to the team. maybe, if Ancelotti prefers to give Joselu a role as a supersub, who is ready to become a backup for one of the strikers from Brazil.

Even though Lorient is not as good as PSG, the draw they got against PSG is a good capital for them, in fact this draw is very detrimental to PSG as the leading team in Ligue 1. The good news is, Mbappe will play in the next game and he is willing to sign a contract for one more season at PSG, if that is true then PSG's front line will be even better in attack.

In the match against PSG, Lorient actually played full defense. amazingly, Lorient's defenders played solidly and were very disciplined. thus, PSG found it difficult to score goals. of the 20 attempted shots made by PSG players, only 4 shots were on target. results that are far from the maximum, from all the opportunities they have. although 1 of them, the chance is quite large. Unfortunately, this fight must end in a draw. but tactically, PSG played quite well even though they had difficulty breaking into their opponent's goal.

IMO, not too bad a start for PSG. because, this match is the first debut for some newcomers. Gocalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee and Marco Assensio became the new front lines in that match. next, PSG can play Dembele who seems quite ready to become the main starter. Apart from that, Mbappe's return to Enrique's squad is good news for PSG fans. thus, it is certain that PSG's front line will be sharp again, even though now without Neymar and Messi.
well, the problem is Enrique still needs a newcomer who plays as an attacking midfielder. as Enrique would have wanted, even with Mbappe, if Bernardo Silva had joined Paris Saint-Germain. then this team, will have quite competitive depth. at the very least, they will be the team that continues to dominate Ligue 1.

But i know that in the next leg of man city game, there is going to be a big difference and changes in the table because I am certain that Manchester City will eventually dominate the Premier League again in this round of the competition.
Don't take it too seriously, friends, Manchester City will win the league this season, while right now it's still at the start of the season so there's no problem with goal difference and it's easy to do, didn't we see last season where Arsenal was at the top of the standings so it's easy for Manchester city unseated him at the end of the season, so that's how it works at least consistently on a winning streak. it was more than enough

I know that in the current EPL, there are a lot of pretty good clubs, having several new players in their squad, it will obviously affect their playing style than before, so there will be more intense competition in the EPL this season, because other clubs also want to taste the EPL championship, so that's why manchester city can get this title again they have to stay on the winning track.

Rigth, that's not necessarily the case, because now there are several competitors to consider. The league has just started, we don't know what will happen next. the most consistent team, which will win the trophy this season. it could be City returning to defend their trophy title, or another team that will break Manchester City's dominance. there is Arsenal, who will still be a tough competitor for City, there is also Manchester United who might give us a surprise with a high performance. even do not rule out, it could also be Newcastle, or Liverpool and Chelsea. what is certain is still undetermined.

So far, we have only assumed and speculated. we never know what will happen, maybe some of the teams I mentioned have had problems with the many players who have been injured. maybe it could happen to City, after all there are still 37 games left. we just enjoy, every match offered by the Premier League. but as a Gunners supporter, I hope that this time they will be able to make it happen to win the trophy we have longed for.

Maybe Mbappe and his entourage are somewhat offended by Real Madrid that the club did not make any gestures at all about the player's transfer in this particular transfer window? Wink I think that all this compromise will come down to the fact that Mbappe will extend his contract with clearly stipulated amounts of compensation so that the player does not leave for free next summer, but this does not mean at all that the player will remain at the club next season. By the way, the departure of Messi and Neymar makes Mbappe the main star of the club, despite the arrival of Usman Dembele with all due respect to him, and this can flatter Mbappe's ego and help to get in touch with the club.

Mbappe returned to training with the PSG first team after classifying his situation directly with Nasser Al Khelaifi, quoted from Romano's report. that means, there seems to have been an agreement from both sides. referring to the report by Romano earlier, the PSG president and Mbappe will discuss various options including inserting a clause for 2024. and it seems, both parties have found a win-win solution for the new deal. Unfortunately, so far there is no clear report in detail about the contents of these negotiations. but what is certain, Mbappe has returned to Luis Enrique's squad. but if I take a report from the Talk page, Kylian Mbappe told PSG that they must sign the Man City star after sensational changes to reject Liverpool, Arsenal and even Real Madrid.

Well, referring to what you said, I'm not sure, but there is a lot we can conclude in this discussion. it could be, Mbappe is offended because Real Madrid did not give any hint regarding the Mbappe transfer saga as you said. it could also, if Mbappe is under immense pressure both within his camp and outside theirs. especially considering that France has a Euro 2024 schedule, in which Mbappe must have fitness if he wants to appear and defend the national team. We can speculate according to what we think, but for now we don't have a concrete answer to the changes that have occurred in Mbappe.
For Madrid fans, take it easy because if I refer to the rumors that I read. if Madrid are willing to sign Mbappe with enough money in the summer, Mbappe has a contract to leave PSG according to a new agreement. but certainly, with its current status. that means, Madrid cannot get Mbappe for free at the end of the season.

Finally Saudi Pro League will be started today and for opening match there is Al-Raed vs Al-Ittihad and this is debut match for Al Ittihad new players such as Milinković-Savić, Kante and their new forward player Benzema but Al Ittihad recent performance is not really good because they were lose from Al Hilal at Arab Club Champions Cup and about their opponent i am not really sure about Al-Raed but possibly this team will be categorized as mediocre team in this league because last season Al-Raed only finish at 10th place and gets 14 loses
If we see from head to head statistics actually Al Hilal is not too superior from Al-Raed because previously Al-Raed can able to stole points from them several times but if we see from the odds seems the bookie very confident to placed Al Hilal as the favourite with low odds @1.23 and Al-Raed as underdog status with odds @9.40

I will not doubt Al Ittihad to overthrow the home team in this match. because after all, the two teams have a significant gap. AL Raed FC is a mediocre team in the Saudi Pro League competition, they were only able to finish 10th last season. speaking of head to head meetings between these two teams, out of 10 meetings in this competition, AL Raed was only able to win 1 match, and even then in the 2018 season, the rest were either defeats or draws. now Al Ittihad has been strengthened by several of Europe's top players, Benzema and his friends are quite ready to overthrow their opposing team at AL Raed's own base.

Moreover, if we refer to the odds of these two teams. Al Ittihad with odds @1.22, while AL Read with odds @9.60. referring to the available odds, theoretically Al Ittihad should be able to topple the opposing team easily. but don't be surprised, if AL Read will play with a defensive pattern. with the scenario, they are targeting the fight to end in a draw.
talking about the defeat of Al Ittihad to Al Hilal in the Arab Club Campions Cup, I think these two teams have almost the same level. also, Al Hilal was the strongest rival before these clubs were acquired by PIF. Moreover, this match was Benzema's debut with Al Ittihad, it is only natural that he did not play with his best performance. well, in this match Benzema had to prove his sharpness to break into the opposing team's goal. Gaining full points in the first match of the Saudi Pro League, became a mandatory result for Al Ittihad.

Gambling, in my opinion is an activity that can be addicted more easily than cigarettes and similar tobacco products because gambling has become quite easy in today's conditions. Especially considering that it is very easy to gamble online there is no difficulty in gambling compared to the past. This not only helps many users access gambling more easily but also allows gambling addicts to gamble continuously. For example, if gambling was something that could only be played in physical offices or casinos many addicts would not be able to visit the place for various reasons, and they would be freed from gambling addiction.

In my personal opinion, if gambling is only physically playable in casinos, gambling addicts will be able to get rid of gambling addiction more easily because they will have more difficult access to gambling. Of course, this will not be a sure solution but if access to gambling becomes difficult many addicts will have a chance to get rid of this addiction as they will stay away from gambling.

Everything that is done in excess, then the result is not good. addiction, by the way, is not something foreign to us. as you said, for example addiction to cigarettes, or addiction to other types even more extreme than that. but the point is the same, all of them are equally addicted even though in different cases. IMO, as I said at the beginning, anything that is done in excess is not good. the point is, we can not necessarily compare for every case of addiction. and if we want to compare them, you should be equipped with data and scientific research results related to addiction.

Talking about online casinos, there will always be pluses and minuses to online gambling. one of the advantages, we can gamble without visiting the place or location of a casino. also, we can play wherever we want. minus, if someone does not have more understanding about gambling, then he has the potential to become an addict. especially those who don't have other activities, for example work or an activity that allows us not to be able to play it all the time.

Well, if we compare it to land-based casinos, the points are the same. although hindered by distance and place, in the end they will find a way to visit the land casino. So, after all, someone who is addicted will have his own way to fulfill his desires, including the cigarette addicts you mentioned in this post. Then, how to stop online gambling addiction. the answer is very simple, in every case of addiction has a different way of healing. the point is, we alone are able to escape the snares of addiction. how to do it, realize it and be determined to make changes accompanied by high intentions and desires. the rest, can visit people who are experts in this field.

Apparently the match between Getafe and Barcelona is difficult to predict even though initially I was sure Barcelona could win it. Getafe really made it difficult for Barcelona because they defended well, but that doesn't mean Barcelona have zero opportunities. Barcelona's attempts were partially missed today and the game didn't go to plan. Raphinha failed to finish the match because he was awarded a special gift in the first match by the referee with a red card and that has changed many plans throughout the second half.

In the end a goalless draw was inevitable even though Getafe were also sent off in the second half. Barcelona failed to win their first game of the season despite a good form. The referee was a bit controversial, but that's not the reason why Barcelona only managed to get 1 point.

The result of the match was beyond my expectations. I think Barcelona will win this match even though they have to work hard to mess up the home team's defense. because as I predicted earlier, this fight will be very tough. the reason is, referring to Getafe's predicted line-up, Jose Bordalas will choose a defensive pattern of play. and yes, they do. but I didn't think that Getafe would choose the 4-5-1 formation pattern.

instead, I already suspected that Xavi would implement a different system. unfortunately for some reason Raphinha did something unnecessary, which in the end he got a red card.
To be honest, I didn't have time to watch this fight, but I can refer to the data and statistics of the match. even though Barcelona controlled the game, and had lots of chances. in fact, there was not a single chance that they were able to convert into goals. in this match Gundohan also did not play optimally, maybe because this was his first debut with Barcelona in La Liga. well, it looks like Xavi has homework to fix the shortcomings of his squad team. in the next game, Xavi can rotate Gundohan to play in the center like when he was with Manchester City. Pedri can be played on the left, or Gavi.
Anyway, unsatisfactory results in Barcelona's first match. however, it is a start. next, Xavi must bring Barcelona even better.
