Mbappe is being linked with some Premier League teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool recently. However I don't think he will join any of them even on loan for one season. Because as long as PSG don't leave him out of squad there is no meaning in Mbappe to join a team that aren't a part of the Champions League.

Hence these teams had better try their luck with making a permanent deal offer instead. But still their chance might not be that high if Mbappe has really agreed with Real Madrid verbally. But if there is no such agreement then I would love to see some rivalry for signing Mbappe this summer already.  Grin

I read that the president of Chelsea and the president of PSG had a discussion about this. Mbappe was also keen on the idea of ​​playing Chelsea on loan for a year. Probably this loaning will take place, next year we can get the news of the transfer of Real Madrid. If both PSG's chairman and Mbappe want this transfer, the chances of it happening will be very high Smiley

I also read that according to the latest reports, Kylian Mbappe will be ready to spend a season on loan in the Premier League as PSG try to offload the superstar. Now, the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea have both been linked with the French forward and they will be encouraged by this latest upgrade.

According to The Mirror, Mbappe will be 'open' to a Premier League loan spell before moving to Real Madrid on a free agent next summer. Klopp however claims Liverpool's financial situation will not suit us as reported to Sky Germany.
apart from that, Chelsea has also been linked with Mbappe. but I'm really not sure, if this rumor is true. And if Todd Boehly is really interested in borrowing him, how much money will Chelsea have to spend to offer this deal.

Previously, Romano detailed the current state of play regarding Mbappe and PSG as tensions continue to grow. in fact, there were fresh rumors on Saturday that Paris Saint-Germain were preparing to bench or even drop Mbappe from their squad. the drama of Mbappe's transfer saga will be even more exciting, so I'm not sure that Mabbpe will leave PSG, apart from Real Madrid which is his team of choice.

Importantly, Harry Kane's possible transfer to Bayern Munich is generating excitement and eyebrows. I'll explain why. Kane has been incredible at Tottenham. Everybody saw it. Everyone envied his teammates. He's amazing. This is the actual question: Will he fit in at Bayern? Would he change? He can? All of us remember Lionel Messi's first PSG season. He struggled despite being a world-class footballer It's no secret that Tuchel wants a top-notch number 9, like Kane. The question is whether Kane will perform as he did at Tottenham in Munich. We're waiting, watching, and hope he slips for a second opportunity

There is a difference between Kane and Messi. when Messi joined PSG, he was not a pure striker but had another task. while Kane, he is a player who plays as a center forward. after the departure of Lendowski, Bayern did not have a pure striker to fill the position of number 9. As for Choupo-Moting, his consistency is not so reliable. because of this player, his performance fluctuated and was unstable. since changing coaching, Tuchel has again rotated Bayern Munich's front line. in the end, Tuchel needs a striker who can fill the void for a centre-forward.

If I'm not mistaken, initially Bayern was interested in a striker from Juventus, namely Vlahovic. but it seems that the Bayern tactician did not suit Vlahovic's style and character. rather, Tuchel wants an established striker for his squad in the next season. which in the end, the choice fell on the striker from Spurs. it seems, he meets the requirements with the criteria that the coach wants. naturally, if Kane is an established player he is even consistent in terms of scoring goals. with Munich, it seems that Kane did not need to take long to adapt. that's why, the coach really wants Kane to be included in their project for the 2023/2024 season.
Previous rumors suggest that the England captain has a personal agreement with Bayern. now, Kane's future is in Levy's hands as reported by Romano in his tweet. so, let's just wait for the development.

Arsenal vs City up ahead in Community Shield fixture in just less than 30 mins and strong lineup from both sides. Man City kinda taking it a slightly easy but they still have mostly strong players. Kai Havertz starting as Jesus is injured but Kai Havertz is also good as false 9 option. Really excited to see which sides dominates in terms of possession because both sides are kinda have similar kind of play style. Arsenal also has developed a bit of possession type gameplay so it will be a really interesting game to watch.  Cheesy

I am rooting for Arsenal to kick City's ass today. GO Gunners!!! Cool

There has been a line-up change for Arsenal, I don't think Havertz will be a centre-forward. Rice remains in his position, Tember also plays in this match. the rest, filled by players who fill their respective positions.
Likewise with City, Pep applies another system with a 4-2-3-1 pattern. as previously predicted, De Brunye will not be used in this match. maybe that's why, Pep prefers to change his strategy tactics. John Stones played as a defender, while Kavacic became a pivot with Rodri. at the start of this first half, City dominated possession.

In fact, it looks like Arsenal are under pressure. I hope that the Gunners young squad will be able to relieve themselves of the pressure to match the playing style of Pep Guardiola's squad. and yes the Gunners' young squad were able to break out of the pressure and offset the game from Manchester City. unfortunately, Harvetz was unable to take advantage of his chance to score his first goal on his debut with the Gunners in a crucial game.
I hope the Gunners are able to put out their best game and topple Manchester City in this match.

Tottenham Hotspur president Daniel Levy took a vacation and went to Miami in USA while Bayern Munich nerves are getting burnt since they didn't receive any response from Spurs yet, and they risk to wait for a longer time.
I don't know if Harry Kane is pushing in his side but letting him to play as a captain in the friendly game vs Donetsk doesn't send a good message for Bayern. It is a waste of time or not?

I didn't hear news that Levy was on vacation, but what is certain is that the future of Harry Kane is in Levy's hands, as reported by Romano. this is quite an epic drama, Levy is adamant that he wants to keep his star. however, the new contract offer for Kane has been turned down. that means if negotiations between Bayern and Spurs do not reach an agreement, Spurs must be willing to let Kane become a free agent in the summer. Several previous rumors reported that the Spurs owner had told Levy that he would not let his players leave on a free agent basis. but while the chairman of the Spurs, insisted on stalling for time.

As for other rumours, the Bavarians have shown their confidence to complete Kane's move by having found a luxurious home for the England captain, as reported by The Mirror. On the same page, Levy is seeking £120 million (€150 million) before he even considers selling his team's top scorer, but Bayern have made an initial bid of £87 million ($100 million) and £8 million in add-ons. as reported by the Goal newspaper. though unlikely, Bayern are still keen on signing the striker ahead of the start of their season in the DFL Supercup against RB Leipzig on August 12.

In fact, before that I read other rumours. and if I'm not mistaken, the rumor is from a German newspaper that says Bayern made a third proposal for €95 million. Kane's transfer actually took place very tough, and spiced up with lots of rumours. However, I still believe in what I predict, that Kane will join Bayern in this summer's transfer window.

But some people, like I said it. They bet big, maybe because before they managed to win some money and wanted to get a big win, they decided to bet big. Maybe you've seen it or even experienced it yourself. Those who gamble like that may have crossed their limits out of greed for bigger wins.

Gamblers who are aware of the fact of losing, they can accept it. But don't forget that there are still gamblers who cannot accept losing; this usually happens to gamblers who often bet big and believe that they can win. But the reality was far from their expectations because they lost and lost large amounts of money. Usually, they will only regret it and can't try to recover the money they lost at the gambling table because all the money is gone. But some gamblers instead decide to borrow money from other people, which is not recommended.

Well, before someone makes a gambling session, it would be nice if someone had considered the consequences if he was going to bet a large amount. because, in every bet there is no guarantee to get an absolute win. every gambler, should be aware of what he is doing from his gambling session. if, they bet a large amount and hope to win it, isn't that something reasonable. on the other hand, a person bets a large stake but has no knowledge of what he is betting on. which in the end, he stuck to his defeat. this type, is the type of gambler who is a reckless gambler. and can be included in the category, a greedy gambler.

For me, losing or winning in a gambling session is commonplace. both when betting with a small bankroll, and when betting with a large bankroll. basically it all depends on how I trust when I will do the betting session, this is not a matter of greed or how I want to win big wins. I think the concept of thinking must be changed, for me personally, there is a time when to gamble with a big bankroll. which means, it doesn't have to be every time I gamble to bet with a big betting bankroll.

As for what you said, I think gamblers like that have no self-control and responsibility for the gambling they do. supposedly, he had to realize, if he lost it would lose his entire bankroll. that in the end, he will seek a loan to conduct gambling sessions again. but if he is aware, has responsibility and good self-control, he will not risk all the money he has. because the consequences if he loses, not only regret that comes over. however, he had lost all the money he had.

This board has a lot of topic that comprises with the negativity about gambling addiction. Let’s change it for now to support the casino we are promoting here.

~snip~

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Basically those of us who are active on the gambling board have gone through various discussions related to gambling itself. both from the negative side and from the positive side. for sure, there will always be pros and cons in every discussion we have. but most importantly, constructive discussion and mutual respect.

Referring to the content in this thread, it would be natural if many topics contain negative things. whether it's related to gambling addiction, or topics that corner the casinos that we have here. of course we will not experience confusion, because after all we are quite active here and are used to such things. after all, everyone is free to have an opinion as they think. most importantly, do not violate the rules that apply in the community. referring to what you said, actually we have a thread that discusses the positive side of gambling. either in terms of health, or everything related to positive things related to gambling. one of them, you have said in this thread. and even if there are those who still think gambling is negative, no one can blame them. because after all, they have rights.

For me personally, to be honest I don't really think about such things as you tell me. most importantly, the benefits for myself personally. because if I refer to what you said, just let the parties and authorities involved in it carry out these activities. in fact the benefits that I get from the gambling sessions that I do, I can have fun with this hobby, regardless of winning or losing. at least, I can entertain myself on the sidelines after being busy with work routine activities. Another benefit is that after work I still gather with my family at home, I can even have fun betting sessions. but after all, the negative side cannot be lost from the name of gambling.
2847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Collective bets in local lotteries on: August 05, 2023, 08:37:15 PM
Would like to know your takes on betting as a group to raise chances in local
Lotteries

I know that mathematically the chances are still really low even if you multiply it 100x but in Brazil at least we’ve seen some local lottery prizes given for small groups of 20 or 30 people betting betting with 5000x tickets let’s say

If dreaming alone is cool dreaming in groups can be even better

To be honest, I'm not very familiar with collective betting for the lottery. even to win the lottery is not an easy matter, even though we collect bets together. I'm pretty sure that the lottery bookies in your country, will be aware of ideas like the ones you convey in this thread. in my country, lottery is usually multiplied in terms of x100 x1000 x10000. to guess 2 numbers will be multiplied by x100, for guessed 3 numbers will be multiplied by x1000, and for guessed 4 numbers will be multiplied by x10000. like I said, I'm not a lottery maniac. so please understand if there are differences or mistakes in the delivery of what I said.

However, what am I saying, that is the lottery scenario in my country. the reward that every winning gambler gets is quite large. moreover, if it is accompanied by a large bet too. unfortunately, there is no special theory that is able to formulate to get the numbers from the results of calculations or other methods. which in the end, it all depended purely on luck. that's why, I'm not too interested in lottery type bets.

However, there is something interesting about the posts you convey in this thread. I don't know how the lottery method works in your country. but is it possible with collective bets, you will get the target you are after. do you have a formula, method, or whatever it is that is sure to achieve victory. specifically, getting the jackpot. I can't imagine, even if the method or idea that you put forward will work according to what you are targeting. if it can, wouldn't that provide an opportunity. at least, you should try to experiment first.

Wow. Am I not mistaken, I hope you can hit him. unfortunately, most gamblers who bet on multi bet with a long list like you showed. it's rare to hit him, unless luck is on your side. By the way, I was really surprised to see the multibet bet that you showed.

To be honest, I'm not used to it. but the truth is, there is nothing wrong with what you do. and if you can get it, you are really very lucky. because rarely do gamblers win multi bet bets, with 20 games on one ticket. even if there are gamblers who have ever won it, the probability is very small. maybe, once in a lifetime. referring to what you said, I don't have the right advice. I think all decisions are in your hands. the most important thing is that whatever your decision will be, don't ever regret it.

For me personally, I prefer to bet on single bets. even if I bet on the multi bet option, maybe I'll only choose 5 games, that's too many. ideally, 3 games only. thus the probability that I have is large enough to hit it, but it all comes back to each individual gambler. if you are sure of the bet you are making, you should continue. after all, you will not experience a loss, because you are betting on a small bet. well, if you keep doing it, good luck.

It looks like Ousmane Dembele is going to PSG. FC Barcelona are considering replacing him with Bernardo Silva. Silva wanted to leave the team last season as well, and Guardiola said we'll see at the end of the season. If a good offer comes to Manchester City, this transfer can happen.
Dembele was a good player but was crushed by that huge transfer fee in Barcelona. If he had come at a more affordable price, the expectation wouldn't have been so high and it wouldn't have put so much pressure on the player.
On the other hand, Silva has never been transferred with such a high transfer fee and has always done his job. It will be easy to get used to La Liga for him. Looks like good transfers for all 3 teams. Everyone will get what they want.

Bernardo is a good player, that's out of the question, but do you think he fits into the current Barcelona team? I can't really imagine him there, but I also like to be surprised. Dembele was stronger for me, but he didn't play that often because he was constantly injured. So a consistently good Silva will be able to replace him. Only his playing style is different.

Silva will suit Barcelona's style of play. besides that, this player from Portugal can play in various positions. that's why, Barcelona wanted the City midfielder in the last summer window. unfortunately, City were not willing to let him go at that time because he was still very much needed by Pep Guardiola. on the player side, Bernardo Silva has expressed his interest in playing with this Spanish club, he is very interested in being part of Barcelona. unfortunately, Barcelona had problems bringing him to Camp Nou. besides the price asked by City is quite large, Barcelona is related to their financial problems.
As for the sale of Dembele, it is reported that Xavi will use the sales funds to recruit Joao Cancelo.

As reported by Romano, Joao Cancelo has agreed personal terms with Barca, he wants a move and Xavi has wanted him since January as a priority target. Now, negotiations seem to be underway. Barcelona plan to use part of Dembele's budget to try again for Cancelo. thus, the scenario to bring in Silva was vanished because it was certain that Barcelona did not have the budget to sign him. but if Silva joins Barcelona, ​​it is certain that this team will become a much more competitive team. unfortunately, neither Silva nor Barcelona will make that move for this summer's transfer window.

Jordan Henderson's move to Al-Ettifaq FC has entered its 10th day, the former Liverpool captain has become the only main player option that Al-Ettifaq has looked at and now he has officially joined and can help sharpen the attack line for Al-Ettifaq.
With the transfer actually I am still a little doubtful about this decision considering that last season Al-Ettifaq was only able to finish in 7th position in the League so maybe this summer it will still be the same, namely it will be difficult for Al-Ettifaq to finish in the top 4 or even enter the final .
But I think Jordan Henderson will struggle a bit to make a name for himself because he plays for Al-Ettifaq.

For sure, we do not have much information about one of the Saudi pro league clubs namely Al-Ettifaq. but as far as I'm aware, Al-Ettifaq is one of the clubs that has its own academy. maybe, if they will rely on some local players. Also, we don't really know how rich this club is. but if I look at their squad, they have some foreign players. So, it's not just Jordan Henderson. even Moussa Dembelle, now part of the Al-Ettifaq team. after all, Al-Ettifaq doesn't seem to be a top-tier club like the 3 clubs we know, namely Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal.

But by bringing in Steven Gerrard, it is hoped that he will be able to bring this team much better than before. Jordan Henderson's signing by Al-Ettifaq, it seems, was initiated by the coach to help him in Al-Ettifaq's midfield. thus, Gerrard will be more flexible in managing his team through Jordan Henderson.
by the way, these are just assumptions and scenarios that I think of.

Since Mbappe has no intention extend the contract with psg, they're pushing hard to sell him before the end of transfer window. They don't want to risk losing him for free next season. However, it's a bit tricky because psg can't sell Mbappé unless he agrees to personal terms with another team. Right now, Mbappé and Perez has the ball in their side.

There's news that Kylian Mbappé is unhappy with psg. This is because the club is in talks to sell him, while he doesn't want to join any team. Let's hope Mbappé is taking his time to think about where he wants to go next. If things don't work out, let's continue one more season. Fans would love to see the trio of Neymar, Mbappé, and Dembélé.

Mbappe's transfer saga will remain a hot topic of conversation in society. I'm pretty sure, it will be difficult for the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga to find a win-win solution. because, IMO, this is a matter of ego and the image of the club itself. Mbappe is adamant not to renew his contract, and stays with PSG until his contract expires. while PSG, do not want to let him go with free agent status.
obviously, would be a huge loss for them. it's not only a matter of how much they spend on Mbappe, it's also about Financial Fair Play. if in the end Mbappe stays, then he is ready to accept the consequences of not playing at all. I'm not sure if the club will allow him to have game time.

Other reports as reported by Romano, he said PSG and Benfica fixed the final details of the Goncalo Ramos deal. no medical orders yet, there are things to explain about loan with obligation to buy due to Financial Fair Play for PSG.
By the way, I'm pretty sure the Luis Enrique rumors are untrue rumors.
2852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 05, 2023, 05:39:35 PM
I believe Leverkusen did the right thing by extending with Xabi Alonso. Because he came here and saved the team from even the danger of relegation. Because their form was really pointing to the relegation area. He didn't just make do with saving them from there. They climbed to the 6th position as well which helped them join the Europa League group stage. It is normal for the board to offer an extension of contract to him as a result. But of course this doesn't guarantee anything for this team yet.

Xabi Alonso is still a new manager as you know. We will see how good he is about consistency. If he continues to impress then I also think he can be Real Madrid's future manager someday.

Anyway, in his first season Xabi Alonso has managed to save Leverkusen from the relegation zone. Therefore, it is certainly the right step for Leverkusen to extend Xabi Alonso contract because after all, it also seems that Xabi Alonso has great potential to become a great coach in the future. Because in reality, the competition in the Bundesliga is also not easy, but Xabi Alonso managed to get through it very well I think. Thus, I hope that Xabi Alonso will be even better next season to make Leverkusen able to compete strongly in the top four in the Bundesliga standings.

Xabi Alonso deserves appreciation, after he was able to bring Leverkusen much better even though he became Leverkusen coach in the middle of the season. Now, it is hoped that Alonso can do his job even better. Therefore, Leverkusen management extended the coach's contract until June 2026.
We all know, Xabi Alonso has made quite good achievements with Bayern Leverkusen in the bundesliga where since his arrival in October 2022 he has helped his team win 45 points with 13 wins, 6 draws, and 7 defeats, as well as entering 48 goals and conceding 33 goals. that means, Xabi Alonso has the potential to become a successful coach in the future. supposedly in the 2023/2024 season, Leverkusen will be a competitor for other strong teams in the bundesliga in the competition to finish in the top 4 of this competition.

To be honest, I don't really know the overall squad for this team. but considering Xabi has a good system, and he's also quite intelligent. he should have been able to bring his team much better and finish in the top 4 of the Bundesliga. Regarding whether you can or not, we'll just follow the developments when the Bundesliga is rolled out again.

2853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 05, 2023, 05:10:53 PM
If I understand the ShowOff post correctly then I think the point is that Manchester City has a great chance to defend the Premier League title for 4 consecutive times after they managed to win it 3 times in a row in the last 3 seasons. I think so too, but of course it's different when it comes to the Champions League.

It is always difficult to determine who will win the Champions League title, especially when the season has not started. Manchester City certainly have a chance to repeat their success, but to defend the Champions League title then I think it is the most difficult challenge for any coach. Pep Guardiola is expected to keep his chances good, but all the teams that will be competing in the Champions League will also be pushing for the title.

With the depth of the players they have, as well as a very competent coach. Manchester City, remains the favorite in both the Premier League and Champions League. Currently, City is in its heyday after winning the treble winner. therefore, it would be very natural for City to defend the title they won for the 2023/2024 season. are they able, obviously they are able to defend the title they won. the probability of an opportunity to repeat like the 2022/2023 season is wide open for City even though several of their core players have left in this summer's transfer window.

It's just that, on the way we don't know what obstacles they will face. to be sure, some clubs in the premier league will try to become a strong competitor like Arsenal for example. also, in this competition there are some pretty strong competitors who might be able to thwart City's progress to the next phase. uniquely, in football nothing is certain. therefore, anything can happen and several other strong competitors will also try their best to be the best in this competition. Let's see first, how when these teams carry out their matches in their domestic league competition. after all, this competition still has a long way to go.

2854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: August 05, 2023, 04:19:47 PM
Currently the best teams in La Liga are Barcelona and Real Madrid. But comparatively Barcelona team is ahead in great form. On the other hand, Benzema's place in the Real Madrid team is looking great.
Barcelona only got back to good last season because Real Madrid wasn't so consistent in winning matches, whereas previous seasons Barcelona didn't look as good as last season. So in general Barcelona are just trying to look good and that was what Barcelona managed to get last season, but for next season Barcelona still has to fight hard to be able to look even better because Real Madrid will also try to be better in La Liga and so also at UCL.

Theoretically Barcelona should be better than last season, now they have added to their ammo by bringing in newcomers. also, there are several players on their radar as the transfer window nears its end. most likely, if Xavi chooses to bring in Joao Cancelo to strengthen their line of defense with the money from selling Dembele. the departure of Dembele in this window, will surely cost this team the loss of one of their great players. but because Barcelona still has a replacement, so they made the decision to let him go. what Xavi needs to do is, concoct a formula for his team's squad for next season. some newcomers, they should be able to adapt quickly. because after all, they are established players. thus, Barcelona still has a chance to defend the league trophy.

While for madrid, this team has the strongest rivals in La Liga. unfortunately, their pre-season matches weren't that great even though they didn't really have much of an impact when the league competition started. at least Ancelotti knows very well what he is doing, in fact he only did experiments in pre-season matches for his squad. maybe, in the real fight, Don Carlo will start with his flagship pattern scheme. thus, the game will continue to stay on track. and hopefully, Joselu can play a role as a goal getter when the competition starts. so, you can be sure that these two teams will continue to compete for the league championship trophy.
2855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 05, 2023, 03:08:35 PM
I'm pretty sure, theoretically, Arsenal can beat Manchester City in the Premier League competition. apart from that, there are several other teams that will join the celebrations in the competitive competition in the coming season. So, let's just wait, because it won't be long before the 2023/2024 Premier League season will start again soon.

I don’t hope for it to remain theoretically but we want to see it practically. They should prove it to us that they’re competent for the premier league title next season. They shouldn’t allow a lot of people put hope in them and let it go at the final stage when the league is coming to an end already like they did last season. If they can repeat what they did last season, I’m sure they’ll be among the title contenders but their commitment to hold on to pressure will determine if they can win the league or not.

Therefore I say, that theoretically, Arsenal should be able to compete, even topple City with a more competitive squad. I mean in the Premier League, not about tomorrow's match between Manchester City vs Arsenal. why do I say that, because the 2023/2024 season league competition has not yet started. we can't say for sure, how Arsenal's performance when melakoni match after match. to prove it, we'll find out once the League has started.

So basically, everything we say is assumption and speculation, without exception. so like this, we won't know what obstacles will be faced by Arsenal when this competition has started. but referring to the statistics of the two players, Harvertz and Declan Rice should be players who are almost established. however, we haven't seen how they play, how the chemistry is formed, and what system Arteta will apply. Moreover, G.Jesus is certain to be absent for a while due to problems with his knee. there are only two options for a centre-forward, Nketiah or Trossard. yep, it all depends on Arteta's decision. apart from that, Arteta can implement a system in another pattern. but it all depends on the starting eleven they play for, and the team they play against.
For now, I say only based on opinion and speculation. because after all, this competition has not been rolled back. well, let's see how tough Arsenal are to play game by game after the competition starts.

Why would a good player such as Harry Kane be shaking his head like he doesn't know what he wants, at the end of the transfer window I still don't see Kane moving to Bayern Munich since they're the only ones interested in him, but he'll staying put at Tottenham to continue his trophyless life style. No matter how good the new coach at Spurs is I don't see Kane getting any trophy with him.

Kane has been a top target for Bayern Munich this summer after entering the final year of his contract with Tottenham. their first few bids failed to meet their asking price, but Spurs owner Joe Lewis later told chairman Daniel Levy not to let him go for free next summer. their third proposal is believed to be over €100m (£85.5m) if it consisted of add-ons. Meanwhile, Tottenham have held out at a heavy cost so far for the England captain.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham did not respond to Bayern's offer until it was over.
however Sky Sport Deutschland pundits claim no date has ever been set by the Bundesliga giants. therefore, they are still awaiting a response from Spurs on the transfer of Kane, which they would have hoped to accept at some stage this weekend.
Elsewhere, the Daily Mail claims that Bayern want Kane to make his debut for the club in the German Super Cup Final against RB Leipzig one week later today.

BTW, the rumor is that Kane has had a personal agreement with Bayerm last month. So, in the end all decisions are in Levy's hands. On the other hand, other rumors suggest that Tottenham have been in contact about a deal to sign Mehdi Teremi from Porto, according to transfer expert Gianluca Di Mario. if so, this means that it will be important for the Spurs if they do sell Kane eventually. also, several other players they are targeting.
IMO, simple logic, if Bayern did not have a prior agreement with the England captain. hence, they would not make any bids so far. that's the reason, Bayern is adamant about bringing Kane to Bavaria in this summer's transfer window. although there has been no official statement from the two clubs, the process seems to be still ongoing. and I still believe that Kane will leave and join the Bundesliga giants.

There's a specific age to be able to gamble for a reason. It isn't just implemented for fun, rather to protect the young generation from the possible consequences of gambling. You see, when a person is still young, their brains aren't fully developed just yet. They don't know how to make proper and wise decision on their own and still needs the guidance of their parents or those who stands up as their guardian. Additionally, they don't have the financial capacity to gamble just yet because they don't have an income of their own to spend. Hence, age limit is established.

It's a form of discipline and protecting oneself that's why it's existing, so it has to be followed to avoid any unpleasant scenarios from happening.

It is as it should be, that gambling must have a minimum age limit. that is why, every country that legalizes gambling has regulations that are protected by laws that apply according to the jurisdiction of each country. this process has gone through the proper mechanism, and when the relevant council made the law or updated it. So, no one should have a problem with the age limit that is applied in every country where gambling is legal. although, pros and cons will always be there.

Well, we agree with the points you said, that there are certain limits to being able to gamble for one reason or another. the concept of being underage, does not come under the scenario of having fun with gambling. in fact, even if the teenager has entered the age of 18+. I would agree more, if the minimum age allowed is above 20+. thus, it is hoped that someone already knows what he is doing in his gambling. just like you said, when someone is young, their way of thinking is still very unstable with a narrow perspective. therefore, as I said above. it is as it should be, if gambling is permitted for people who are of sufficient age and according to the laws and regulations that allow it.

This offer is final from Bayern, and they're hoping Tottenham will decide quickly. If not, Bayern is ready to move on and target to other player.
I'd be surprised if Daniel Levy agreed to this offer, he and Spurs have received countless offers from different clubs for Harry Kane, but Daniel Levy has rejected them all, and i expect this offer from Bayern to be likewise rejected. I think if Harry Kane wants to leave Spurs, he'd have to force his way out of the club by handing in a transfer request, i don't know if Kane is only trying to be loyal and respectful to Spurs and that's prolly the reason why he is yet to hand in a transfer request, or if he isn't just ready to leave Spurs because he is a few goals short of being the all time leading goalscorer in the history of the EPL.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly set a deadline to accept Bayern Munich's latest bid for Harry Kane, as the German giants' threat of walking away from the deal emerges. apparently, Bayern have now increased the pressure on Tottenham. referring to the Daily Telegraph report, which claims they have now "set a midnight deadline on Friday" for Spurs to accept their latest bid for Kane. the report states, that all parties want Kane's future to be resolved as quickly as possible and certainly before Spurs' first Premier League game of the season against Brentford.

It seems, Bayern really turned things around for now. The reason being, if an agreement to sell Kane to Bayern is not reached, the striker is expected to spend the final year of his contract in North London and leave on a free next summer. In addition, Bayern claim that last month personal terms were agreed between the England captain and Bayern, despite two previous bids having been rejected in July. If these rumors are true, then the situation, right now Levy and Spurs are in a difficult choice position. By the way, I tried to check Romano's report, but there is no news yet. but don't be surprised, if in the end Spurs will let go of their star player and join Bayern Munich. so, let's just wait.

Self control help to get away from the addiction for sure,either it’s gambling or drugs or drinking.The first think is you need to understand you was get into the addiction,the foremost part it understanding you are in addiction.Then you can easily get away from it,secondly you need to reduce the usage of the gambling.Then you need to fix the monthly deposit on the gambling by calculating your income.The deposit should not reach more then the 20 percent of your income.Then try to get some profit from the game,it will avoid from addiction.Gambling addiction mostly cause due to huge loss in gambling based on his luck.

In fact it's not as easy as you say, even though self-control has a big role in our behavior when gambling. however, all of that requires considerable effort. the concept is not as simple as we say, the fact is that in practice sometimes we often get caught up in every gambling game session. that's why, we need self-control so we don't become gambling addicts. or, spending more time gambling which in the end will harm us both financially and mentally and family harmony.

IMO, self-control is one of the factors so that we are not addicted. usually, gamblers who are already addicted do not have good self-control. they tend to ignore more rational thoughts, and think only of how to fulfill their desire to gamble. actually, what you say is an ideal idea. however, not to release someone from their addiction. more precisely, so that one does not become part of a gambling addict. in fact, gambling is fun depending on how we define it. if the concept is for fun, and do the steps you say. gambling, will not make us addicted even though it will always have the potential.

What would you do if one day you won the lottery? What are you planning to buy and who do you want to include in your success?

~snip~


There is nothing wrong with what this person is doing, in terms of kindness. that goodness comes from within and not from outside. ups and downs are commonplace in this life, yep, just like when we gamble. in fact, everything we do has consequences in this life. whether it's a beneficial consequence, or that brings risks that ultimately harm us ourselves.
this story is quite unique, someone bet lottery 10 years of his life. then won $600k in the lottery draw, long enough to realize his win. the question is how much money each time he buys a lottery ticket, is the reward he gets commensurate with the 10 years he has spent. I don't know if this character is real, or fictitious. I hope, though, that he spends only a few pennies of the earnings he earns on raffle tickets. 600k dollars is a pretty big one, if I convert it to my country's currency.

In fact, I can buy a luxury car and a very decent house according to my version. IMO, this thread tells more about someone's life story than the gambling itself. however, at least you have taken the time to write this which is quite long and I really appreciate it.
If, i won the lottery like this guy. it seems, I will also do the same thing as the man in the story. but unfortunately, I'm not really interested in betting on the lottery. also, I don't really like to speculate with victories that are only in imagination. So, most likely I don't know what to do if I get the jackpot from the lottery draw. in fact, I am not in that situation and condition.
