Ten Hag must immediately resolve his problems with the players on the team. or he must also be able to solve problems that occur in the team. It will be even more difficult for MU if Ten Hag doesn't improve their game. This is the 5th defeat, which is very tough for MU from 10 matches this season. There was a very big difference between MU and Man City in that match. MU must find the problem and solve it as quickly as possible. otherwise in the upcoming Manchester derby meeting, there will be nothing interesting anymore. Man City unfortunately dominates.
Ten hag doesn't in anyway looks border because it seems like his job isn't on the line and that is why he continually produces poor results without any improvement thereafter, the management of Manchester united seem to have gotten him involved in every affair of the team.

The fans are not happy about the current position of the team especially with the recent loses at home which have become too frequent, Ten hag is somehow lucky personally that's what I think because if it were to be some other teams, with this consistent failure they would have considered taking actions already, he did well last season but hasn't been impressive this season.

This loos was really huge, it's very surprising to me because that amount can be considered as so much and even a fortune for some persons out there, I'm hoping you are able to recover even if it's half of it, although it might feel different to you as we all have our preferences.

The most I have lost in gambling is $300 and I had to stop that day so I could put myself in check and make sure not to start chasing losses else I would end up loosing more so I had to shut down my smart device and kept my debit card far away from me for awhile so I don't get any reason to fund and try to play again, I know sometimes we could be so engrossed with the fun but let's always known when to stop as the fun may be over by then and all we may be doing at they point is chasing losses.

I agree with OP as I have always stated that there's not wrong with gambling itself but people always get it wrong and think gambling is detrimental to people's well being but then on the contrary it has always been people's attitude and approach to gambling that has been the problem.

Most time you see that those who gamble responsibly usually don't have mental or health issues resulting from gambling rather they benefits because they see more of entertainment and fun in gambling which in turn help their health, but those who see gambling as a venture to make unrealistic sums of money are those who suffers adverse effects and because they are in majority they make gambling look like a bad habit which is only detrimental to the health meanwhile it's not actually.
2824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this how it start? (No or yes?) on: November 01, 2023, 05:15:47 PM
Have you been in such situations before? I foremost, asked this question because I haven't done this before. Today I was just doing nothing but sitting down in the sitting room watching TV, but I wasn't comfortable. Then I fund my betting account (hoping to have fun) with $10 but, unfortunately for me, I lost the whole money without winning just a dime. It was not the first time for me to lose money on gambling (but I am not a regular gambler), then I fund another $10, so finally, finally, I still lost the other money I deposited, and I was like asking myself how? When did I even fund another money in this account? why I am surprised is because I haven't funded into my betting account twise in a day after losing done money, so am I becoming an addict? No.
You were only seeking entertainment and to have fun probably because you were bored with that which you were already doing and this I can consider as almost normal with almost every one seeking further entertainment after been bored with that which they were been entertained with.

I don't think you are addicted yet but then it seems there is a tendency you could some day if you you purse your losses, if your sole aim was for fun then if you have funded and lost I think you should stop and don't fund any further that way you are knowing when the fun stops, because beyond that you may begin to pursue your losses and may gradually be addicted unknowingly, but for now I don't think you are yet but may me if you continue.

Nice has been very impressive so far but the only problem with all this average clubs is that at the starting of the season they always makes good impact but as time begins to go on they will start losing form and losing matches consecutively before you know it they will still give up the trophy for those clubs that are always at the forefronts all season.

When you see average clubs performing so well at the beginning of the season you shouldn't be expecting much from them rather just give them some more time nd see how well they turn out, sometimes they do turn out well but it's more usual they don't end up with the league title.

We only hope for them to finish amongst the top four or five by the end of the season and this I think is with the case of NICE. They are currently at the top of the table and have really been performing well but I'm yet to see them turn out the winners of the ligue 1 this season, PSG is already right behind them and any further losses they suffer, they will loose their position to PSG and hope to finish amongst top four and qualify for UCl next season.

However, in terms of quality, Brighton is better so I think the away match will not have a big influence. If we look at Brighton's journey since the start of this season they have continued to improve in quality so I have no doubt that Brighton can face 3 more matches in the remaining group phase matches to be able to qualify from group phase, quality-wise I think Brighton is very worthy.
Now Brighton is in 3rd place in Group B with 4 points, only 1 point different from Marseille who is in first place.
Brighton is an average team with the Europa this season and I have no doubts about them qualifying from the group stage although they have not had much wins, they have had just one win and one loss and one draw but they have also been average in the premier league.

But Brighton and Athen are sharing the same point but I think goal difference is what is keeping them apart, if Brighton wins their next Europa match they are definitely moving to the second position on the league table, if we have to compare all the teams In the same group with Brighton I think Marseille is the only team that may match their strength so hopefully they will get better and definitely qualify.

Juventus in their last five matches haven't lost any but had only one draw, somehow it was looking like Juventus isn't in a good form and not looking very promising with the serie A this season but fortunately they are gradually climbing up the table as they are currently at the second position on the table.

I believe with their current position and point, they could probably have a very good chance at the serie A title this season, they only need to be more consistent with some more wins, they have 23 points which is two points away from the leaders of the table Intermilan with 25 points, I think that are the only team that will most likely be a problem to Juventus if they further improve their performance towards this season.

He thinks that with the lotto outlet, he will encourage people to gamble which is against his morals so it is a battle between his conscience and the profit.

So what's the best decision to take he is afraid if he lets go of this opportunity the lotto agent will eventually find a location in their place and eventually lose the opportunity to make a profit.
He isn't encouraging people to gamble in any way because he only have out the place on lease or probably rent that alone in itself isn't a form of encouragement for people to get involved in gambling as there was no persuasion of any kind both directly and indirectly.

The lotto agent is definitely going to get another space if he is not quick to decision and he wouldn't have the lotto agent to be blamed, I don't think there's any way giving out your space to be rented for the purpose of gambling is against morals, it's business and profit is the main aim, I'd we were to always put morals to consideration most persons would be out of business by now so there's not wrong with that he should cease this opportunity and make his profit.

We also have to be realistic in seeing or predicting what will happen, Manchester United is not inconsistent, but indeed the Manchester United team has not found its best performance, in UCL matches and in Premier League matches the Manchester United team has not played well since the start of the season.

If you look at what is happening with the Manchester United team at the moment then I speculate that Manchester United has a smaller chance of getting through the group phase than Galatasaray, indeed nothing is impossible in football but their chances are small because they can't find anything. their best performance and many of Manchester United's main players are still injured, so in my opinion there is no way for them to recover in the near future.
Manchester united still have a chance to qualify especially with their recent win in the UCL, but then they will have to continue with winning because they all they need is win as they need to secure at least nine points to me very sure  they will qualify for the next stage of the UCL.

But Galatasaray is still at the second position with four points but if they loose any further and Manchester united wins their next game then it will be very clear Manchester will qualify and Galatasaray may likely not, but then the seemingly weak team in that group Copenhagen seem to no have a chance here with just a point but underestimating them might cost either Manchester united or Galatasaray their qualifications because a draw with Copenhagen is definitely disadvantageous to either of both teams.

Chelsea don't deserve any trust to bet on them from now on. They really made me believe in them for once previously and I decided to bet on them against Brentford. However they made me really annoyed after that performance. How can you be this clumsy while you can find numerous chances to score in the first half?

I really don't understand this team. They are still the same as the previous season. There is literally no change despite spending around 500 million euros before this season as well. This team deserve to be managed way better.
Chelsea has really been inconsistent this season, they win a few games and at same time loose some and has not been able to maintain a good spot on the table this season, so it will really be a bad idea betting on them wouldn't really be a good idea as they may disappoint as they did with Brentford.

But then I hope in the coming week they get better because Chelsea actually have a good squad dept with quality players who are capable of getting them points enough to be amongst the top position on the table at least amongst top five, there is still some time as the league just passed it's tenth week so they have over fifteen more weeks ahead to improve on their performance and tactics for now I'm only sure they wouldn't end in relegation but don't know about the league title if they will be able to get that by the end of the season but for now if you must add them to your bet slip, it's safe to choose other options asides them winning in a game.

Going into gambling because of financial increase will make you to experience some things that will make you to hate gambling, because you take it as something that will make you wealthy in the future. I know many gamblers make huge amount of money from gambling but they didn't put all their hope like the way some some people are looking for way to loan money just to gamble to win some certain amount of money which, it will lead them to prison when they fail to pay back the money.

Gambling will make you to run away from your family when you don't apply wisdom, and you are addicted to it because it can push you to sell anything sellable in the house that will make you to disappear for a while and return back home to apologize for such attitude.
Gambling for financial increase has always been the wrong approach to gambling because bit only increase your despiration and reduce how logical you think and manage your fund, you become reckless with your stakes and risk, most times you forget the entertainment that comes with gambling.

When you become addicted you tend to do Crazy things to be able to facilitate your gambling and this can cause some level of stereotyping by people around which will result from them know about your gambling habit because they will always think soon you will be indulging in unhealthy habits which will be detrimental to them thereby reducing your circle aswell

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?
Sometimes most persons don't understand the concept of addiction, they wait until they are begining to do crazy things due to gambling before they realize they are addicted but on the contrary that happens to be the extreme case of addiction as they have already been addicted unknowingly.

I have tried my best to.make sure I don't get addicted by regulating how often I gamble, honestly it's not easy to resist the urge at times but I try to discipline myself, there was a time I gambled too often I felt I was becoming addicted so I had to take a break for awhile, during this period I deleted all the apps and bookmarks until I was ready to get back to gambling cautiously.

Inter are in really good form and it is very difficult to beat them at the moment. It looks like they are in a Scudetto race with Juventus. Considering the challenging and tiring atmosphere of the UCL, it is certain that Serie A will be more tiring than every year for Inter. They won against Rome, but they were very tired. They worked hard until they scored the winning goal. Juventus is considered lucky to have a shorter match schedule than them.
The current form of inter is such that they can not be beaten by any team just like that especially in the UCL where they give their very best to every game they play, although Juventus isn't a weak team but the definitely had a tough match with verona as they managed to win amidst all the resistance.

Inter happens to be at the second position int their group in the UCL and are as well doing well in the serie A where they are at the top of the table, the win Juventus got over verona has further earned them the second spot in the table the highest they have gotten this season, no less should be expected of Juventus after all they are not participating in any other league except the serie A this season.

Ajax in their last five matches have failed to win a single match, although they usually manage to get goals but they fail to win or even a draw, they have really been at their worse this season and I wonder if their change of coach was that bad that it has to affect them this much in their performance.

They are currently at the relegation zone on the table, and this is something that hasn't been seen with ajax in a very long time, they have been known with brilliant performance in the eredivisie, but sadly this season has been a really poor and bad one for them as they started poorly and are yet to improve, they may just have to focus more on exiting the relegation.

It's an unlucky week for Newcastle to find themselves playing in the three leagues(EFL, PL, and UEFA), within the space of three days intervals. And their three league matches are all against big clubs, which all matters to them to play and win.

For the coach of Newcastle, in whichever leagues he aims to lift the trophy of the league, that's where I think he will strategize his players to make sure they win in that match. But as it all seems the three league trophies are all important for teams to lift their trophy.
The three trophies appears important to them but I think if they are to place preference on the trophies I think they have more chances with EFL because they have leaser strong teams there so they could compete better but with the UCL the competition is too high for them.

Newcastle isn't a weak team but I consider them an average team so I would say they should place their preference on the EFL as most teams there are not as better when compared with them, there are only about three or four teams I think would be a kind of challenge to them, Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and Brighton but others may not really be a threat to them.
2836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 31, 2023, 05:53:52 PM
When Leverkusen were doing well in the early few games I didn't value this team that much and I think they can win only a few games but their performance will drop when their opponent is Bayern Munich or any other team. Now their play seems to be completely wrong what I thought about them and they are not only doing well against smaller teams but also against other teams in this league including Bayern Munich. A performance like this from Leverkusen is undoubtedly a cause for concern for Bayern Munich. If Leverkusen can keep up their performances until the end of the season, it will be a tough task for Bayern Munich to win the league title. Bayern Munich have been performing well this season but they need to perform better this season to get ahead of Leverkusen.
Honestly I also felt same way earlier, because it's not usually that Leverkusen was performing this well as they weren't in the same shape last season, they weren't really bad last season but they weren't this good at same time, so at the beginning of the season when they had beautiful performance I was in doubt.

Their consistency with this brilliant performance got me believing that their performance is actually sustainable and they have become formidable enough to fight for the league title this season, although Munich and Dortmund are there in their good shape aswell to contend but then I think Leverkusen will definitely be a strong team to contend and will definitely finish tops by the end of the season.

But it seems, if Mbappe is still tied only to money, then maybe Mbappe will stay at PSG. Because of course, PSG will find it difficult to let Mbappe leave, and thus PSG will try to give him a good value too of course. Therefore, it is difficult for other clubs to recruit Mbappe, unless Mbappe is willing to lower his value, then of course there will be many big clubs out there who will recruit Mbappe. But yes, I hope Mbappe prioritizes about achievement because then, of course, Mbappe will be able to leave easily and quickly.
I aswell don't think money is what has got mbappe wanting to leave PSG because even PSG wanted him to renew his contract which could mean if he wanted a bigger salary it's possible they would put it into consideration and get him his desired pay, I think it's beyond money

Mbappe wants to explore the zenith of his career and add more trophies to his records, PSG is not looking promising for such aspiration. Madrid is looking like a potential place for mbappe where his dreams may come true, mbappe just want some where else where he get to achieve more than he has achieved currently, he has got higher aspirations
2838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 31, 2023, 02:09:29 PM
They still have a long way to go to make that happen, but even though they look more prepared now, it's not a guarantee that they will continue to show the same. The reason is that last season they were also good but they lost their balance when the season was about to end and in the end Barcelona could freely win the title last season.
This is just the beginning of their long journey and there are still many matches left. Especially in the Champions League, big teams from each league are waiting for them to stop them in the Champions League. Although their strength now looks strong, they still need to improve.
Champions league is A Very competitive league if not the most competitive in the whole of Europe, it's normal for most teams to be outstanding at the beginning of the league because they usually have their form intact especially the bigger teams.

Buy it's usually not a guarantee that they would survive till the end and win the title, some even crash our at certain stages.

With Barcelona I feel they will improve and even get better especially by January when most of their injured players would be back and probably in better form, also they can aswell use that opportunity to strengthen their squad if they have the financial capacity, so they still have some more time.

In my opinion, winning against Ajax is quite a good achievement for Brighton. And yes, this makes me quite optimistic that Brighton will be able to qualify from the group stage. Even in the match against Ajax we could see Brighton dominating the match quite convincingly. Even the Ajax players had to make a foul to stop the Brighton players. The next match against Ajax again at Ajax's home ground might not be as easy as yesterday's match. But I am optimistic that Brighton will not lose points in this match. Brighton might be able to win even with a narrow score. Because I saw that there was quite a striking difference in strength between Brighton and Ajax in their last match a few days ago.
I agree it's quite an achievement that Brighton won Ajax in their last game buy then Ajax hasn't been in their best of form this season, they have really been weak at their domestic league aswell, their total performance this season has been poor more like underperforming.

I don't know if it's the change of coach that is affecting them this bad because they were way beyond this performance last season.

Brighton has been average with their performance this season, they have not been too bad neither have they been at their best performance too this season, buy they obviously have a place in the Europa if they could be consistent with their performance and wins.
2840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 31, 2023, 12:35:14 PM
Chelsea has really been inconsistent with their performance aswell but it seems more attention has been drawn to that of the red devils probably because they have higher expectations on them, Brentford for the third time has won Chelsea at home, on their three visits to Stamford bridge they have kept a record of consecutive wins

Brentford has stepped up the premier league table after steeling three points from the blues in their Saturday meeting at the Stamford bridge.

Brentford isn't a weak team but could be seen as an average team, buy Chelsea in recent times had won two matches back to back creating an impression that they were coming back on track untill Saturday when they had another loss against Brentford at home which has caused some doubts about their improvement.
