A man run naked in a Las Vegas casino (Linq Casino) and jumped on the poker table and started to dance. He was arrested instantly by the security, however his family says that he was drunk and therefore he did such type of act.

More details can be read here Naked Gyrating Guy Arrested at Harrah’s Las Vegas Was Drugged, Family Claims

The point here is why gamblers do such shameless acts and what the rules of the casino suggest the penality for these acts. Do you think the gambler did it purposefully perhaps to become popular in the headlines  Huh

In fact, I did not find the essence of the gambling that this man was doing. that in the link you shared, it was stated that this man was in Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The point is this man was in a bar, then drank something containing alcohol. and the family suspects that he was drugged.
Well, referring to the contents of the news links that you share, none of them lead to gambling. the only thing it comes close to gambling is, because this guy climbs the poker table and goes around in circles. nothing was reported, that the man lost a gamble and then got naked and ran up the poker table. also, like someone who is intoxicated with alcohol, it's rare to have a case like this let alone a situation in public.

Throughout my experience drinking drunk, or seeing some of my friends, no one has done a case like this. except, suspected of consuming prohibited substances such as narcotics. thus, the matter of what this man did could have happened. yep, as claimed by the man's family.  and for sure, we do not know this man, we do not know his character and personality. So, I would say that what happened to this man was purely without gambling.

Do you guys follow the casino streamers and are they fun to watch? Or do you think that playing casino slots yourself is more fun?


To be honest, I don't know the slot streamers you share in this link. Even if I have to be honest, I rarely see gambling streamers regardless of their media platform. but that doesn't mean, if I've never even watched a slot streamer. In the past, when slot games were not as popular as they are today, I watched streamers from casinos that we have in the community. they deliver impressions and pack the game pretty interesting, even when they buy free spins. Just by looking at the bet they're betting on, it's enough to make me shiver a little to see the minimum bet they're playing. although, it seems that this streamer has a partnership with the casino he plays for. but the sensation of the game that they show is enough to make us enthusiastic to watch it.

Even so, I'm not too interested in watching it all the time with the shows displayed by slot streamers. but maybe if it's for tired replacement viewing, once in a while it's quite entertaining. instead, I prefer to listen to commentators from sports especially football. moreover, if football pundits share their opinions and analysis. for me, this gave me a lot of knowledge even to be a comparison with our predictions.

Yes he still deserves to play in Europe, not maximizing his performance last season is something natural especially since it is his new club. I understand many were disappointed that he could not answer the expectations pinned on him, but again we will not see the performance of players who continue to be good and consistent every season, that applies to all players, Sadio Mane is no exception.
Moreover, I feel that his move is closely related to the coach. He was previously recruited by the previous coach, Nagelsmann, and with the transfer of the coaching baton will certainly affect the line-up according to what the coach wants.

31 years old can still be relied upon to play in Europe's top leagues, even many players who have entered 30+ are still very much relied on in their squad even those competing in the Champions League. Sadio Mane, has experienced a decline in performance after getting a long injury. Not only that, while under Nagelsmann, Mane's performance had fluctuated. but naturally, because after all Mane only one season with Bayern Munich. unfortunately, there are many factors that prevent Mane from being included in the Bayern Munich coach's squad list next season and I have reviewed them in several other posts.

What is clear, now Sadio Mane has become part of Al Nassr. at least, Mane's contribution will be very much needed in his new squad. even though it is not the highest casta league, being an important part of the team is the main thing for a player. Mane can show his talents and abilities with Al Nassr. he will also meet some other top players in the same team, at least Al Nassr is much more competitive than other Saudi teams. I mean, in the signings of Europe's top players. there are several names namely Fotana, brozovic, Alex Telles, and the mega star Ronaldo. trophy target, is mandatory for this one club in the 2023/2024 season.

The rumors that have been waiting for some time have finally been answered and Atalanta have reached an agreement for Rasmus Hojlund to join Manchester United. All costs around 70 million euros with add ons and this is the most awaited transfer by coach Erik ten Hag to strengthen the position of the Red Devils striker next season.

The fans are certainly very enthusiastic about this news and it seems that now Manchester United is no longer bothered about matters of the main striker in the squad. With the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford has returned to his starting position, namely the left wing and of course this will be much more optimal. The duration of Rasmus Hojlund's contract is for the next 5 years and this is a long journey for him at one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

At least, Ten Hag is no longer just always hoping for Marcus Rashford. now, Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United. an agreement has been reached at this time as quoted by Romano. Ten Hag has fulfilled his target in the centre-forward position, but there are still a number of names in their sights in this transfer window. even so, I'm not completely sure if Manchester United can still bring in some of their targets. at least, United have exceeded their budget funds. maybe it could, by selling some of the other players. we'll see, because this summer transfer window still has enough time lag.

Speaking of Hojlund, actually I don't have much information about him. because, I don't really follow the development of Italian football. referring to his statistics, he has scored 9 goals from his 32 total appearances last season, not bad for a player who is still 20 years old. it's just that, it's likely that the striker will need quite a long time to reach his maximum level. so, don't expect too much because we are likely to see the performance fluctuate. or it could also be that under the tutelage of Erik Ten Hag, this player will bring out the potential and talent that is stored within him, just like Rashford when handled by the architect of Manchester United.
2925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 29, 2023, 07:28:23 PM
I’ve been seeing a lot of Arsenal fans complaining about signing a center forward, that Gabriel Jesus isn’t reliable. Honestly, Do they need to sign a striker despite having Jesus & Nketiah? I am not sure it is a major priority. They did not lack goals last season. They scored 88 goals; second behind Manchester City, 94. I think their aim is to get a more suitable replacement for Saka. They don't need to be unnecessarily apprehensive because their rivals sign strikers. Chelsea obviously needed one, so do Manchester United. But them, Arsenal ? I am not sure it is dan-dan with Jesus and Eddie. Except if Eddie leaves.

Sorry, what can we expect more from Nketiah. without taking Nketiah for granted, but not much can be expected from him. in fact, every goal he scores is easy goals, aka Tap In. To be honest, I suspect that Nketiah will be released in this summer's transfer window. but on condition, Arsenal bring another pure striker instead.
Speaking of Gabriel Jesus, I like to see him playing, even if not as productive as most of the other strikers. however his contribution to the team squad is much needed. this player, not infrequently always opens space for his colleagues to score goals. he, too, often makes quick transitions from one player to another. but unfortunately, Gabriel Jesus is not the typical goal getter who always finds the net against the opposing team in every game after game.

Well, related to what you ask in this post, I will answer it. we can refer to the transfer window this summer, so far Arsenal have brought in three players who have a fairly high price and in particular Declan Rice whose price is fantastic. it would feel lame if Arteta did not bring in a pure striker, so that their squad strength would be far more competitive. isn't it ideal, having several attackers with different characters. that's why, I expect Edu and Arsenal to target to recruit more players.
what I'm saying, is corroborated by Romano's claim that Arteta is still monitoring and following developments this summer window. maybe they brought in another player. however, it would be ideal for Vlahovic to be part of the Gunners. besides being young, he will develop far with Arsenal. that's why I said that in the window of the transfer market this summer, it's not ideal if they don't bring in a striker who can really be relied on as a goalscorer.
2926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 29, 2023, 06:29:13 PM
Can't wait to see how Manchester United is going to perform with Ten Hag in the Champions League because I know this team can be even stronger when Ten Hag chose the players for the next season and some players like Rasmus Hojlund and Onana join this team and help them in the next season. Although they have made significant progress, it is noteworthy that there is still ample opportunity for improvement for them in comparison to teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid.


1/4 final at best for Man Utd I think, they haven’t done anything impressive so far in the summer transfer market. That can change quickly of course but I don’t see them as a serious option to win it.

Man City will be favourites but the usual suspects will be there until the latter stages, PSG, Barca, Real etc.
Napoli didn’t get stripped of all their playing assets as I expected so they could be a dark horse.

Yep, we agree that so far United haven't done anything impressive in this summer's transfer window. As for newcomers, Ten Hag does it very carefully because they have limited funds to buy players. ideally, Ten Hag only brings in players who fit the budget and meet the criteria the team needs. it could be, that the purchase of some new arrivals is a choice adapted to their budget conditions. It's a different matter if United are acquired by Qatar, they will have a large budget which can certainly bring in players with great potential. but that does not mean, that bringing in Mason Mount and Onana is not an ideal choice. in fact, both players meet the criteria befitting the style and system characteristics that Ten Hag employs.

Now, United have got a striker who is relied on as a goal getter. Rasmus Hojlund, has been reported to be part of Manchester United. as reported by Romano, an agreement was reached at this time between the two clubs. at least even though United have limitations with purchases in the transfer market this summer, what is certain is that we cannot underestimate Erik Ten Hag's squad. maybe, they can give us a surprise. although we agree, that the favorite team so far still belongs to City. there are even several other competitors, which will certainly provide very interesting competition.

It seems that not many people know, Xavi only has 1 year left on his contract. He will be discharged in 2024. But it seems that there has been no news of an extension or separation for him. But if you look at the current situation he will stay at Barcelona. Xavi has incredible achievements, he can deliver titles. In addition, as a former Barcelona player, it seems that Xavi's loyalty is very good. Xavi doesn't seem to think much about this problem, he's more busy improving the strength of the team.

Apparently, Barcelona will not be in a hurry to extend the contract with the coach. I'm pretty sure that the president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, is aware of the importance of Xavi's role for the team. in fact, Xavi could afford several important players to join Barcelona and some of them are free agents. but there are several priorities that seem to be prioritized by Barca's management, and the main thing is to strengthen the foundation and depth of the team. maybe that's why, so far Laporta has not mentioned Xavi's tenure with Barcelona.

After all, Laporta gives full trust to the architect of this Barcelona squad. thus, Laporta doesn't need to worry if in the end an agreement will be made to extend Xavi's contract with Barcelona. because after all, Xavi came at the right time and was able to bring Barcelona back to win the La Liga trophy. despite the fact that their rivals Real Madrid had a bit of trouble that kept them from being as strong as the previous season. but at least, Xavi has achieved the results expected by the club and La Blaugrana supporters. the 2023/2024 season Xavi's work is not easy, Barcelona is expected to be more competitive than the previous season. in fact, Xavi had to prove that his team deserved to compete in the Champions League. and we as fans, will look forward to them playing match after match.
2928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 29, 2023, 05:29:43 PM
I agree with you here, but some people get careless with loans since it feels like you're playing with someone else's money. Loan can give some people a sense of freedom, like the risk is lower because you aren't losing anything. A day before you didn't have that money and now you do.
Some of them feel like it's an easy way to make money for free. You take a loan, bet it, win and pay the loan back, pocketing the profit. It really looks this simple for many of these players, until they lose it all and the reality hits them in the face like a brick.

In fact, it is not uncommon for gamblers to be tempted to seek or obtain loans just to channel their desire to gamble. after getting loan funds, we usually have high enthusiasm to carry out game sessions. in fact, not a few also had the belief that today we would win. then, pay the loan directly along with the interest. this sense of optimism is present, when we do not have a penny of funds for gambling. therefore, not a few are looking for loans to fulfill their desire to gamble. although some of us are reluctant to borrow and only choose when we have our own funds.

As you said, borrowed money can provide a sense of freedom, because at first we really didn't have the capital to carry out gambling sessions. if lucky, we get a win even repay the loan and have extra money to do the next betting session. but unfortunately, if what we plan is not in accordance with the expected scenario. which in the end, we lose everything and face reality like being hit by a brick with new problems faced to pay the money we have borrowed. ah sometimes it's funny, if I remember the past, I experienced this in the era of land casinos. uniquely, I made it a very memorable and meaningful experience to date. therefore, we do not recommend borrowing money just to fulfill the desire to gamble.

I think this is the best decision for all parties because when he is at Bayern also of course he will not get a position especially with the words of Tuchel who will not include Mane in his plans. On the other hand Bayern also already know when Tuchel said the statement would not include Mane's name then they better let him go because apart from getting sales proceeds, it will also reduce the salary burden for them.

Referring to what Romano reports, Mane has been a new player for Al Nassr since Friday, it is only natural that Bayern officially remove him from the squad, despite the fact that the deal is just waiting to sign the documents. Nonetheless, we agree that this transfer is the best decision for all parties and especially for Sadio Mane who is not included in Tuchel's project for next season.

IMO, Mane should still be retained by Tuchel as an option rather than being released. because after all, Mane is a potential player even though he is now 31 years old. in the Nagelsmann era, Mane always had minutes to play even though his performance had fluctuated. since he was injured for a long time, his consistency has decreased and it seems that Tuchel does not see him as the ideal option for his squad later. plus, there was an incident between Bayern Munich players that involved a fight. it would be very natural for any coach, if they do not like the incident because it can divide the divisions within the camp itself. which in the end, Al Nassr got a player who could help Ronaldo up front and Bayern Munich got an injection of funds from the sale of Mane. which in the end, Bayern may be able to agree on the transfer of Kane from Spurs.

Manchester City have lost a very important player this summer to Saudi Arabian league. Riyad Mahrez is one key player for Guardiola’s side. Al-Ahli paid 30million for the player, which I think is a fair price for Riyad Mahrez at age 32. Manchester City can count this deal as a good deal for the club. This move is the perfect move for Mahrez because joining any other team in the EPL or other leagues will not be as profitable as how much he will be earning at Saudi Arabia.
At first I thought that Riyad Mahrez would go to an Arab club just a rumour. But I was quite surprised that it turned out that one of the Arab clubs, namely Al-Ahli, was really serious about getting Riyad Mahrez. According to rumors, the transfer price is indeed 30 million. but I think the numbers are much more than that. Because Riyad Mahrez is one of the important players in the Man City squad. So I was quite surprised that Man City let Riyad Mahrez easily. The first offer was immediately rejected by Man City but Al-Ahli did not take long and immediately made a second offer which immediately received a positive response from Man City.

But it is widely rumored that Riyad Mahrez will leave Man City this season. But I didn't expect that it was to the Arab club. He has achieved a lot of success with Man City. The 5 years he spent with Man City I think were amazing for his career. Looks like I should also start looking at the Arab league. which already has a lot of European players at this time.

~~


Mahrez is an important player for Manchester City, because after all he really contributed to City winning various trophies. it would be very natural for Mahrez to choose to leave, considering that Pep often rotates players which in the end reduces playing minutes for him. Even though Riyad Mahrez actually has a contract until 2025, the choice to leave is the right time for him. also, Mahrez will be 33 years old. because, sooner or later his role will be replaced by a younger player. as a result, the winger accepted an offer from Al Ahli.

IMO, a decent price at its current age. after all, he will get paid a pretty high salary with his new club. even though he no longer plays in the highest league competitions, he gets a decent fee and at the same time ends his career. with his new club Al Ahli, he will meet another star, namely Firmino, who will become his partner on the front lines. maybe, Al Ahli will be a formidable team by bringing in some of Europe's top players.
As for Manchester City, they got a decent fee in exchange for the winger joining the Saudi club. it's just that, if Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva also leave. Pep Guariola will have a tough job to find a replacement, it will even be a tough task maintaining the Manchester City dynasty.

Why do we have to make an issue out of this? I think it's pretty much clear and self-explanatory. No debate is necessary. By "money that we can afford to lose," we only mean money that is not intended for something else important like rent or bills to pay, tuition for you child, regular checkup for your old sick mother, etc. That's the kind of money that is being referred to.

Me, I'm gambling with my extra savings, exactly something that I can afford to lose. It's not money that, if lost, I'd be missing a meal.

The right answer I think, but maybe the OP was curious about what he was thinking and then asked in this thread. it would be very natural, because for some people have many questions in their minds. in particular, as we discuss in this thread. We've had a lot of discussion about gambling on these boards, there's been mixed feedback from the community. in fact there are many who say, gamble with money you can afford to lose, even I myself often say this repeatedly.

To represent the OP's question, you have answered it straightforwardly and precisely. and what we mean by saying, money that is ready to lose, is one of them, as you said in this post. it's just that sometimes in practice, it's not as easy as we say. Even though we know very well about this idea, sometimes we can get carried away and even be able to spend a lot of money to gamble. especially, when we are on a losing streak. it's hard, to stop the gambling session when we are controlled by emotions. because psychologically, we tend to be compelled to do it again and again.
ideally, this idea should be accompanied by responsibility and self-control. thus, the points you say are in line with the money you are prepared to lose in gambling.

Luis Enrique definitely has reasons for this but this defeat doesn't need to be regretted and of course in the future PSG can still play with their main players.
At least in this match PSG can still compete by scoring 2 goals even though they had to concede 3 goals until the round 2 finished.
I also salute Shinji Kagawa for managing to play well enough to even contribute 1 goal and at the age of 34, Shinji Kagawa can still keep up with the games of other young players.
I think Luis Enrique's decision to not start star players of Paris Saint Germaine in their preseason matches is because of the fact that he wants pick the best players from the younger members of the team.
Enrique surely knows what he's doing and would definitely be successful in his time at the French capital. He's simply applying his personal football philosophy and hopefully it'll yield great results

As I said in several posts, this pre-season friendly match is not a reference for us to judge the strength of a team. this match was a test match for Enrique to experiment with his system, plus tinkering with some of the strategies he used. we can even refer to the three matches that PSG played in this pre-season match, Enrique always rotates his players. this aims, to try the potential of the game from his care team.
maybe because of that too, Enrique chose not to play some of his star players. so naturally, if the results are not satisfactory for a club like PSG.after all, referring to the match data and statistics. PSG really controlled the game, even though in the end they lost this match. the point is, Enrique is trying to build a system that he applies to welcome next season. So, we agree with your point, Enrique knows very well what he is doing as well as what he is planning.

As long as we stick to our limitations, gambling is not a bad thing to do. But when it comes to the moment that we are spending more time and money, that was a sign that we are close to addiction. Addiction was not enjoyable anymore, we can never feel happiness if we win but what is on our minds is to win more - greediness had come. And the more we chase to win, the opposite things happen and we lose more. It is really all about proper budgeting which most gamblers fail to follow.

We agree with what you say, but basically everything we do is of our own free will. gambling, can be fun entertainment and at the same time we can make it part of relaxation. but on the contrary, as you said, when we have become addicted to gambling it is no longer fun as entertainment.

That's why, it's very important if we have an understanding and definition of gambling for ourselves. in order for us to avoid things that are addictive, we must have self-control. that's why, we have to realize that all our actions are on our will and awareness. which means, we must control ourselves and involve full awareness in each of our actions, especially those related to gambling. this idea, should be applied by gamblers. Unfortunately, in practice we tend to be powerless to resist our high desires and emotional desires. let's connect with the theme of the title of this thread, that this idea we can combine with carefully played gambling.

I believe it is better for Harry Kane to actually go to Bayern Munich. Because if he does go to Manchester United, he is going to have some problems trying to win the trophies for which he is actually moving out from Tottenham. Going to Bayern Munich is obviously going to assure him that he is going to at least win the Bundesliga title.

Considering the potential desire to join Manchester United, it becomes evident that a notable advancement awaits compared to Tottenham. But I don’t think it is going to be easy for him to actually win trophies with Manchester United as well. And I mean Manchester United is improving. But is that improvement enough? Especially when they will have to face teams like Manchester City, Arsenal and others.

Regards

Duke

After all, as rumored in the German newspapers, that Kane's side had a meeting with Bayern's side. even this rumor has been confirmed by Romano in his tweet, if Kane is rumored to be willing to play with Bayern Munich. As for Manchester United, ideally he still plays in the English league competition. it's just that, Spurs don't want to let go of their star players to their rivals. after all, Man United's spending financial condition is unlikely to be sufficient to bring Kane to Old Trafford.

Theoretically, we will not doubt that with Bayern Munich Kane can win various trophies. because, he is a great player who is also very experienced even though he almost only plays for Spurs. however, it looks like he will quickly adapt to his new team. now, what matters is what the Spurs want.
We all know that Levy is adamant that he will not let his players go if they don't match the price they want. In essence, Bayern must carry out negotiations that can benefit both teams. and as Romano reports, the meeting schedule has been readjusted for this week. so, let's wait will this negotiation be final. very interesting..

Currently Fabinho is on his way to carry out a medical test as a condition for becoming an Al-Ittihad player and previously the negotiations went quite smoothly which resulted in an offer of a contract of up to 3 years with Al-Ittihad. Now it's just waiting for the results of the medical test before finally an agreement is reached by both parties. One of the Liverpool legends has come to the saudi league and this will continue to enliven the European players who will defend each of the saudi league teams. We know that some of the Liverpool players who came to the Saudi league didn't defend one team at the same time and they preferred to be in different teams. So, I think this distribution of players is very good for each Saudi league team.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1684898944050970624

Fabinho has completed his medical as an Al Ittihad player. however, Liverpool and Ittihad are still waiting to sign the document, medically approved as an oral agreement has been reached. now, the deal is being finalized and sealed on a three-year contract.  so, it is certain that Fabinho will be part of the Al Ittihad squad. I think the move taken by Ittihad is a smart move to compete with Al Nassr. with the presence of Fabinho, he can be paired with N'Golo Kante who plays as a midfielder and for goals getter there is Benzema who can really be counted on up front.

Well, which other top players will be targeted by Al Ittihad. it seems, the hunt for Europe's top players will continue. I'm also still waiting, several other clubs that will bring in top European players. especially for Al Hilal, because so far they have only brought in Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibly. I think Al Hilal has too high expectations to bring in Europe's top striker. after failing to bring in Messi, they failed for Mbappe, now, which other players will they bring in. this is interesting, even for several other clubs and one of them is Al Shabab which has been rumored to also bring in top European players.

The main objective of the PSG team is to do well in the Champions League. They have been trying this for a long time. But they are not seeing success. Hopefully they will try to revamp the squad this season so that they can get into a good Champions League position.

IMO, according to my point of view, now PSG is making changes including their philosophy. that is also why, PSG is not chasing players who have big names like for example Osimhen. although in fact, they were able to bring him to the Parc des Princes. but what was done was the opposite, PSG was more interested in several young players who had potential that could be developed.

Under Enrique, it looks like PSG could be far more ideal. despite the fact, there is still polemic going on in the PSG camp with some of its players. but at least, Enrique can improve to rebuild the PSG squad. ideally, PSG should follow the steps taken by Manchester City. supposedly, they have to build a foundation first rather than bringing in expensive players but never getting satisfactory results in the Champions League competition.

So far, PSG are still in the hunt for players in this summer's transfer window. we don't even know which players they will bring to France. ideally, PSG needs a creative midfielder and at the same time a competent center forward. thus, they can still compete in this competition. But don't expect Enrique to be able to bring his team to win a trophy in this competition in his first season.

Barcelona decision to sell Aubameyang and then replace it with Lewandowski was very correct, Lewandowski was able to answer Xavi trust in him by helping Barcelona win the La Liga title race as well as the Super Cup. Lewandowski was also the top scorer last season which made Benzema fail to win the top scorer title twice in a row.

Xavi can still rely on Ansu Fati as a substitute for Lewandowski if there are problems with his health. Raphinha is starting to blend into Barcelona style of play, he can be relied on on the right wing. Lewandowski certainly cannot always be played in every match, especially since Barcelona match schedule this season is very tight, Xavi needs to rotate in several matches in order to maintain the fitness of his players while preventing injury to his flagship player.

The fact is that releasing Aubameyang is to reduce the burden that Barcelona bears, colliding with financial problems, Barcelona must take steps in the interests of the club. Talking about Lewandowski, no one doubts that his presence with La Blaugrana, he is even able to answer the wishes of the club and Barcelona supporters. although in fact, Lewandowski did not get a service that was too satisfying. as a result, he was only able to contribute 23 goals in La Liga. I think Raphina's performance is still fluctuating unstable, but at the end of the season her performance has improved. even for Ansu Fati, he was not consistent at all let alone having experienced a long injury.

In the 2023/2024 season, Barcelona at least has a competitive squad. they have some new ammunition that can be relied on, as well as a pretty ideal second tier players. at least, Barcelona can compete in the most prestigious competitions with better strength. ahead of next winter, at least Barcelona will bring in one of the young strikers who is likely to become Lewanswoski's backup. well, Xavi just needs to find the ideal system for his team. because, they already have a player depth that is quite ideal. thus, Barcelona can make sure to defend the La Liga title trophy for the next season.

To be honest, i have never done a loan to gamble, especially in the community. however, we have past experience regarding this thread. I once borrowed money, in my local currency to gamble. I remember, at that time I was still playing in a land casino. the money I borrowed, of course, with a guarantee. for example, vehicles, or other valuables with fairly high interest.

Related to your question, both online loans and like my personal experience. after all, it's the same, essentially we borrow money to gamble. basically, it all depends on the individual gambler. there are many gamblers who are confident that he will win his bet and even return the loan money right away. there are also those who experience pressure, usually they will be more careful when doing game sessions. from the two examples I said, I've experienced it. but usually, the pressure comes when our balance is running low or will end in defeat. pressure like this, would make most gamblers nervous. because he knows that the money he borrows according to the agreed agreement must be paid on time.
Here I just want to remind you, never make it a habit to borrow money to gamble, even if you are a gambler who is an expert in his field. it would be nice, if you don't have the finances to make a bet. better, do other activities that can break our focus.

It would be better for PSG if Mbappe stays in the team. I'm sure the money isn't the problem because PSG made him an offer he couldn't normally refuse. Everyone has a dream, and it seems Mbappe is determined to follow his dream. With the possibility of transferring to Real Madrid, he also rejects this crazy offer of PSG.
Mbappe himself also has certain reasons for rejecting an offer from PSG for now because now there are rumors about an even crazier bid from PSG for Mbappe. Namely an offer that came from the Saudi Arabian club this summer so it might not be possible for Mbappe to turn to another team and could also allow him to leave PSG at this time. Although Mbappe can still refuse that crazy offer in favor of a team that is more successful than PSG, namely Real Madrid.

If these rumors continue to rise, then it looks like it will indeed be a reality for Mbappe to leave. But indeed, at least PSG still has the ability to be able to hold Mbappe from leaving. Thus, it seems that Luis Enrique ability at this moment will also be needed, at least Luis Enrique can convince Mbappe to stay too. But indeed, at least to convince Mbappe to stay is not an easy job because after all, at this moment Mbappe is no longer easy to be tricked by money. Because also, Mbappe seems to have realized too, that his priority at the moment is to achieve the best results in every competition by winning titles and trophies.

Precisely what triggered the polemic between PSG and Mbappe, one of which was money.

Let's flashback, before Mbappe didn't say anything about his contract, everything was fine. In fact, we know very well that previously Mbappe signed a new contract until 2025. He took a photo with Nasser Al Khelaifi, while holding the PSG 2025 jersey. And yep, there was a polemic. Mbappe said that he would not sign a contract extension that ends until 2024 with an additional option until 2025.

Referring to several sources that I read earlier, in the contract agreement between Mbappe and PSG, Mbappe will get a Signing-On Fee after his contact ends, and that is  fantastic value. so Mbappe only needs to survive one more season, to fulfill his contract and earn his bonus. he will go as a free agent, plus get a contract bonus from PSG. therefore too, the PSG president took a stand, as Mbappe had changed his mind after saying that he would leave without being a free agent. pressure was put on PSG, but in fact there was no real impact.
Previously I said in several posts, there are several scenarios that can happen. it is possible that Mbappe will stay and sign his new contract, then he will leave for Madrid as a condition of the agreement. thus, PSG will not suffer a big loss. or another scenario, PSG will offer Madrid at a relatively low price. well, to be sure, we just follow the development.

Arsenal is also one of the clubs that has not won a title for a long time. In fact it is difficult to compete in the Premier League somehow stop the dominance of Manchester City they are in a golden era. From what I've seen only clubs with old coaches can beat them like Liverpool so between players and coaches have a strong bond and built more than 5 years. Manchester United is far from this category they need a few more years to be stronger while Arsenal may be closer we can see the progress from year to year top 8 , top 5 and last season they were runners up I think in the next 2 years it will be Arsenal's turn.

I still remember very well, the last time Arsenal won the Premier League title. even time, Arsenal is filled with top players on all fronts. but since then, Arsene Wenger changed his philosophy. and until now, the Gunners have been fasting for a long time in winning the Premier League title. season 2022/2023, they are very close to winning this competition. unfortunately, one thing or another that makes them experience a decrease in performance. now Arteta has been supported by the owner of the club, Kroenke, by pouring out very large funds.
Automatically, Arsenal's target has now changed. without any claims from Arteta and club management, Arsenal must fight hard to win trophies this season. because, we know very well how hard Kroenke is to provide coaches with large funds in spending on players.

In the hands of Arteta, there have been significant changes. as a result, they brought in a few newcomers even for a very hefty price tag.  like it or not, Arteta has to win a trophy. at a minimum, a Premier League trophy. if not, then Arteta's career with Arsenal in the following season is at stake.
Speaking of City, Pep Guardiola's team is still the team that is more favourite. even though some of their players left, TheCitizen is still a very tough team. but now, City has a rival that is arguably quite strong. I am absolutely sure that Arsenal will become an obstacle for City to defend the trophy in the 2023/2024 season.
