The most important match in the next match week is Hoffenheim vs Frankfurt. Frankfurt has been very stingy in scoring and eating goals this season. Their matches are not very enjoyable to watch and we can already see that in the results. Hoffenheim will probably be the favorite, but I think the potential for a draw is high.
Leverkusen, on the other hand, will travel to Wolfsburg. I expect Leverkusen to win barring a setback. They are one of the teams with the best chances of winning the championship this season.
Obviously, he is a player who is always in the Barcelona squad who plays on the field during his matches, his absence will make Xavi quickly prepare a suitable replacement. Because usually the defense will be fragile when this one player is left behind, because chemistry must be recreated if new players enter.
Barcelona's injury storm will indeed affect the team as a whole, which is why they must have a squad that is evenly distributed between the main players and the coating players, so that when they have to experience something like this, there will be no significant changes they feel.

There is nothing wrong with that, especially since Totenham also has the potential to become champions. But the problem is that these few seasons they can't improve their ability to make that happen, and maybe they can do it this season. But for me it's still too early to talk about that, because it's early. Although they are now at the top of the table, they are also not far adrift of other clbs and have the same points as Arsenal.
They are actually a club that can compete in the top flight and I wonder if they will be able to become chmpions after their efforts in several seasons only being a top-tier club.
 
I now least of all believe that Tottenham will be able to become champions, if only because City, Arsenal and Liverpool now look very cool and they have significantly greater squad depth, which in the long term will have a significant advantage for these teams.

Guardiola does not make a tragedy of yesterday's defeat to Arsenal, 2 points is not such a big gap, and he says that sometimes it is even good when the team is not in first place, this is not the first time for City in such a situation, everything is just beginning.
If we sort out of all the clubs that have the opportunity to become champions, then Tottenham have a chance, it's just that maybe if it is percented, Tottenham will not be a bigger percentage than Manchester City and Arsenal. But this is just a speculation that we see from their development this season, it could be that in reality they can answer all the doubts pinned on them.
I am also sure you are not the only one who does not believe in Tottenham, especially if it is a champion they will get. Because we all know that to become champions here will not be easy and they have to compete with not just one or two clubs, but many clubs they have to beat.

We've passed Week 9 in the Arab League and there have been changes in the standings, in the top 4 in particular. Ittihad got their second defeat in week 9 and that result cost them their place as at the same time Al Nassr got 1 point as they also got a draw. But that was enough to make Al Nassr shift the position occupied by Ittihad before, yes even though it was only different in goal productivity.
Apart from all that, I was a little surprised by what Al Nassr achieved this week because they could only draw against a club that was actually not strong and fairly weak.
Football, you play with our feelings so much! Ittihad is still hurting from their second loss, while Al Nassr is sauntering into their spot, even though they only tied a game against a team that looked like an easy win. I get it. We were all expecting to win against a "weaker" team like Abha, but it ended in a tie. But isn't that what makes the sport so great? When what everyone thinks is the underdog scores a goal despite the odds being against them. It really warms my heart. Yes, the tables turned in a way that no one saw coming, but isn't that what keeps us all hooked to our screens every week?
Yeah I don't mind that, obviously that's what makes this sport interesting is when the unexpected happens. A club that is different in terms of strength does not necessarily win the match, because before the long whistle sounds the end of the match all possibilities can still occur, we can see from Al Nassr's match this week which was only able to win 1 point. I'm sure most people predict Al Nassr will win and I'm also sure many people are betting on Al Nassr's victory. But that's football, things didn't go as expected. I'm also sure many people were disappointed and lost their money betting on them.

With such a stark difference in strength, a draw is a very good result for Granada. We can see that from the sttistics recorded in this match. Barcelona had almost all the possession, and with stats like that a club deserves a win. But the quick goal that Granada can create in this match is the key for the host to secure at least 1 point from this match.
It's a bit unfortunate when they don't keep the score until the end, but with Brcelona's continuous attack is also very good when they only concede 2 goals.
They can only focus on defense.
Granda parked the boss and frustrated Barcelona with a strong defense line after scoring two goals in the 1st half but thank to a goal from their 2 youngsters Yamal and João Félix that helped them to get the equalizer in the match, Barcelona were favourites to win the game but where very unfortunate to concede 2 goals at the 1st half of the game, however thank goodness they were able to reply the 2 goals before the final whistle.

 Well the gap between Barcelona and the league leaders is not very much, but they have to be careful not to drop more points cause Realmadrid are in a very good form and the recovery of Vini Jnr with the combination of Jude Bellingham has made them even more stronger,therefore Barcelona needs to be performing well to keep up with them.
 
They realized that if they played openly they would be a scoring ground for Barcelona, and I think their strategy was sound and reasonable enough to get a point in this match. The fact is that even though they parked their defense, Granada could also create goals and I think that was planned. They were looking for a quick goal and after that they focused on defense to maintain the score they had created early on.
This is a common strategy when the strengths of the two clubs are quite different. The weaker club will look for a quick goal and after that they will defend completely. Most small clubs do this when they meet strong clubs.

What do you think about the hypothesis that Tottenham will win the Premier League this season? This is probably a shock to their fans. It's like a slap in the face for big clubs like defending champion Man City. It is difficult to say whether this will happen or not because their team does not have outstanding star players. But when the incident occurred, the one who regretted it was probably Kane. He has long desired the title with Tottenham. Let's wait and see what surprises Tottenham brings this season. It's too early to say which team will win the championship this season, but this is just a hypothesis.
There is nothing wrong with that, especially since Totenham also has the potential to become champions. But the problem is that these few seasons they can't improve their ability to make that happen, and maybe they can do it this season.

Yes, Granada is one of the weakest clubs in La Liga, but even teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona have difficulties. Barcelona drew this match and it's probably not a big deal for them. The main thing is that they did not lose three points and earned at least one point. Barcelona have not lost a single game this season and this is a good result.

I was amazed by Granada's performance for scoring at early minute of the game and maintain the lead till late minutes. It's just unfortunate they were not able to maintain and hold Barcelona back till final whistle. It's was a good result for Granada considering the fact that they have average players and are not in any way close to Barcelona but I will not agree that it was a good result for Barcelona. It's understandable that football is full of surprises and seeing small clubs trashing big teams now has become normal but nevertheless, it shows how weak and relax Barcelona has become in the recent game week. Draw spoils record more than losing in the table and before you realize what is happening, you're already in the mid table when you draw a lot of matches.
With such a stark difference in strength, a draw is a very good result for Granada. We can see that from the sttistics recorded in this match. Barcelona had almost all the possession, and with stats like that a club deserves a win.

PSG is highly inconsistent during their games,sometimes they destroy good teams like they did to Lyon some time ago and like they did to Rennes this weekend.Monaco is a strong contender this year but they are not consistent either so it will be interesting to see how it folds out between these two teams as honestly I doubt Nice would be any real danger or any real contender to the title despite being high in the standings just check how many goals they have scored and you will agree with me.Marseille also looks distant from the title fight so far but Marseille is a team that when it gets steam it can be a really consistent winning team so let's wait and see.
What they have achieved is inseparable from their internal problems, which have made them what they are today. Inconsistency has been a problem for them for a long time, even last season they also felt the same way, and it's just not what we see now. Now will they continue to be in this state? Who is responsible? maybe here is not a big problem, because they can still compete for the title, but the problem is when they are in the Champions League.
There their players can't perform like they did in Ligue 1, because it's very different there.


Every league in Europe except Ligue 1 is very competitive. In the Bundesliga teams like Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and  Dortmund are fighting for the title. Both Manchester City and Arsenal are chasing the title in the  Premier League.

In La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will fight for the title.  Only in Ligue 1 do we see every team's performance erratic. Even PSG's performance has also been erratic, but what makes PSG ahead of other teams is that they have a strong squad as well as a  very experienced coach. This is why they have the highest chance of winning the title in Ligue 1. And maybe in the next few weeks we will see them at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
If other leagues compete competitively because they compete consistently, while here we compete in inconsistency, right? lol
You're right, when I look at other leagues, the passion is different than when I look at this Ligue 1. Actually this is not something new here, because the past few seasons they have also shown something similar. Even a club like Paris Saint Germain who is labeled as the strongest club here is still inconsistent in their play. Well at least the competition is still here even with a different situation.
2988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 09, 2023, 01:27:50 PM
Napoli is currently ranked 5th on the Serie A rankings. The 1-3 defeat to Fiorentina at home made Napoli fans lose all patience with coach Rudi Garcia. They still play with a 4-3-3 formation, but their attack could be stronger and clearer. I was shocked, especially when he withdrew three key players, Osimhen, Lobotka, and Zielinski, from the field when Fiorentina was leading 1-2. Garica believes that this loss was due to player psychology leading to mistakes in defense, not due to tactics. He needs to be more talented to lead Napoli. What I need most from Mr. Garcia is humility and recognition of his mistakes to correct them.
As the weeks went on, I saw a decline from them, and this week they were beaten by Fiorentina at their own ground with a striking score too. I know this is also because Fiorentina played well and they were also in good form against Napoli. But this result will have an impact on most people's confidence in Napoli's current coach, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of their supporters call for Rudy Garcia to step down. I've predicted this before, that when he doesn't get Napoli to find their best game, he'll be the first to take the blame.
2989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 09, 2023, 01:09:41 PM
Arsenal won, therefore there will not be such a big scandal as after the Tottenham - Liverpool game, although in my opinion such a mistake has a greater impact on the outcome of the game than a counted or disallowed goal. Football has long since reached a level where a numerical majority means a lot (not like in hockey, but almost).
As for Holland, it makes sense to bet that he will score 2+ goals in the next game. For him it always happens at this pace - either nothing, or a hat trick.

Erling Haaland will get back to scoring ways, it is okay to feel like a big mess up. He lacked creative players to help with those passes.

I thought it was going to be a draw, but that all changed in the 86th minute when Gabriel Martinelli scored the only goal of the game to give Arsenal full points.
Although believed to be the strongest club at the moment, but Manchester City is not that strong to always get a victory in every match. After Wolves surprisingly beat them, now it's Arsenal's turn to make them swallow defeat for the second time this season.



Erling Haaland is undoubtedly one of the most prolific strikers in Europe but the fact that he's not been able to score in his last few games for Manchester City doesn't automatically mean that he'll definitely score two or goals in the club's next game.
Kelvin De Bruyne who assisted most of the Norwegian goals last season has been out injured since the first week of the English Premier League season and that has really affected Erling Haaland's goalscoring performance. There's no doubt that he can't score in next game but I there's no guarantee that he'll definitely score.
It's very normal when a player struggles to score goals, even if that player is a very good player like Erling Haaland, and the fact that he can also feel the conditions where he cannot help his club to win.
Yes, KDB's absence greatly affects them to score goals, this player has become a player who plays an important role in providing spoiled passes to players who are on the opponent's defense line to create a goal, and his absence is very pronounced for Manchester City.

Yes they are still better than the other 2 clubs below them, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund. However, they still have a long way to go, as they still have 4 matches to play, and in those 4 matches anything can happen. Because other clubs like AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund also want to do their best before the group stage really ends and determines their position at the end of the standings later. Paris Saint Germain are still on a good path for now, but they still have to be able to improve, because the competition in the group they occupy is a tough competition compared to other groups.
Since the start of the draw for group F, Newcastle has been in the hell group with AC Milan, PSG and Borussia Dortmund. Newcastle was labeled the weakest club in their group because they had just returned to the Champions League after not appearing for a long time but again in the UCL but now they are in first place in the group. Indeed, the Champions League is difficult to predict, the aura of playing in the Champions League is very different from playing in the domestic league.

Yes, the match is still long, but looking at the current condition of the Newcastle squad, the players' skills are very evenly distributed from the back to the front lines, they are really evenly distributed in all lines, the reserve players are also good, so Eddie Howe just needs to mix it up with the right composition so he can beat Borussia Dortmund. Yes, PSG is still the favorite in the match against AC Milan, especially since the match is being held at PSG's home ground, I think this match will be a fixed price for PSG to get three points so that their hopes of qualifying for the next phase are still maintained.
It is also natural that they are labeled as the weakest club in this group, because their experience in the Champions League is still minimal and like it or not, it can indirectly affect their appearance in the game. But so far, until the 2nd match at least, they can show a good performance and even they are now at the top of the standings with 4 points. At least their journey can still compete is a good achievement, especially the group they live in is the strongest group and is said to be a hell group. Their chances of making it to the next round are very high.



One thing is that since Newcastle is new, most people and club will underestimate them and will not give them must attention, unknown to them that Newcastle came to the league to play aggressively in order for them to go far. The club is strong and the coach is a good coach that knows the important matches to win. Clubs will begin to take them serious such in case they go far, it will be a good record to them because after a long stay at home, they came back to price to the world that they are back and better. I know that they will still qualify to the champions league next season because they are doing well in EPL
Exactly as I said before, their inexperience in the Champions League is why they are not considered much in this group. Now with what they've achieved so far, there's no reason for other clubs not to consider them a serious contender in the Champions League.
One thing I will appreciate about them is their ability to capitalize on their finncial situation. We can't deny that they are what they are today because they have very good financial capabilities.

Apart from all that, I was a little surprised by what Al Nassr achieved this week because they could only draw against a club that was actually not strong and fairly weak.

In week 9 the competition gets tougher as you said some of the top teams took their place some go up and some go down and we have an underdog team, yeah Al-Taawoun is not one of those clubs that has star players but they managed to stay in the top 2 obviously this is a bit strange and as far as I know their main strength is in defense while no player stands out as the top scorer. Imagine if Al-Taawoun was actively hunting for top European players of course it can increase their goal activity because Al-Taawon goal activity is lower than other teams in the standings.
Yes, that's true, but it's worth remembering that the absence of European-labeled players doesn't mean they can't compete fiercely in the standings, and that's what Al Tawoon is doing. And also the presence of European labeled players does bring a breath of fresh air but it is not a guarantee that clubs that are inhabited by many European players they can show their best and are in very tight competition in the standings.
For me the presence of players they bring to the league is to increase popularity, and if they can bring the club to play better it is a bonus they get.



Al-Nassr has been impressive so far. I was quite surprised at the draw of Al-Nassr match against Abha last Friday. Abha is not a strong club and has performed poorly this season but they managed to equalize with a goal from Karl Toko Ekambi.
It's a shame that Al-Nassr couldn't win the match at home, even though Al Nassr was able to dominate the ball game well and with the 2 goals scored by Otavinho and Talisca, he was quite optimistic that Al-Nassr would win, but it turned out that Abha was able to equalize within minutes last minute and who would have thought that Al-Nassr would get a red card in this match and Cristiano Ronaldo could not score a goal for Al-Nassr. If only Cristiano Ronaldo could score a goals it is certain that Al-Nassr would succeed in winning the match by getting 3 points.
Yes as I said before, I was also quite surprised by what Al Nassr achieved against a club that is not a favorite club. But that's the beauty of football, sometimes something unexpected happens in a match.
Although this is a bit disappointing for Al Nassr, but this is precisely what makes the competition even more interesting, because unexpected things like this add a special attraction for football lovers. Thus, we will not be easy to predict every match.
2992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 09, 2023, 12:06:46 PM
This time looks like Bayern Munchen have a very staunch contender for the title which is Bayer Leverkussen.They are winning every single game and the only draw they have is against Bayern Munchen at Bayern Munchen home,this should be a bell of alarm for Bayern Munchen as they won't have it that easy to win the title this year,nor that they had easy last year when Dortmund fatally lost it in the last game of the season by drawing at home against Mainz.This time though is not Dortmund,it is Leverkussen and I highly doubt if they were to be in the same situation as Dortmund last season they will fail to achieve the title.
So far the seventh week of the Bundesliga is getting more interesting and it is certain that this season's Bundesliga will be very tight, even tighter between the competition for champions, places to play in Europe and competition to get out of the relegation zone.

I personally prefer the Bundesliga to have a new champion at the end of the season because if Bayern Munich continues to win the league this season for me it will be very boring. And it is true that Bayern Muchen's toughest challenger this season is Bayern Leverkekusen, and several other teams such as RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are able to undermine the dominance of champions Bayern in the Bundesliga, and hopefully this season will truly see the collapse of the Bayern Munich dynasty.

That's right, I'm sure everyone also realizes that the Bundesliga this season is very different from usual, there are several strong teams that are up and down in the top five of the standings, including Leverkusen who can always secure the top position even though sometimes they also lose the number of points so that it drops but now Xabi Alonso's squad has managed to occupy the top again, VfB who are in second place and their performance is quite consistent with absolutely no defeat in the last five matches, Bayern Munich who always catch up by always trying to perform optimally in all matches to take the top position from Leverkusen and also the last Dortmund who are now on their way up, they are trying to appear consistent even though it is quite difficult because of the habits of the business which indirectly makes it difficult for them to be able to appear consistent, but I think now they are trying to break various assumptions that say they cannot be consistent.

That's right, I'm also quite bored if I have to see Bayern Munich winning again, even though this is one of my favorite teams but honestly I'm curious and really want to see other teams get the opportunity to become champions at the end of the season. In my opinion, with the conditions of the Bundesliga competition as tight as it is now, it is very possible that Bayern Munich's dominance as defending champions will be broken.
2993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: October 09, 2023, 11:38:15 AM
I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more,

Gambling less is good as you are not exposed to the game all the time and your portfolio is saved. However, gambling less may guarantee that you may lose less but it will not guarantee that you will win. Think of a situation where one person who gambles less and keeps on losing more games, will he be in profit, Never. He may be facing bad luck and since he gambles less, he loses less money as compared to if he had been addicted and lost everything.

Sometimes a person is having good luck and even being an addicted gambler, he keeps on winning most of the games. Again this does not happen often but there is a probability of this situation too.
If I talk about a gambler whose motive is not only money but who likes and tries to enjoy gambling then we would agree that those gamblers try to gamble less. This allows them to minimize their losses and manage long-term gambling. Both profit and loss in gambling depend on luck so it is not possible to say which type of gambler will be more profitable. However, people who gamble less always try to take less risk, so their profits will not be as high. But among those who are willing to take the risk, there is also a very rapid change. If they are lucky they can get good money in short time and if bad they will run out of money too. A gambler's financial situation will depend on how he gambles.

And in addition to them trying to reduce gambling I think their first step into gambling is also very decisive, usually if they gamble with the motive just for entertainment then I think they already know from the beginning about everything in gambling especially the huge risk. I think that's a better way of looking at gambling, there's nothing else and it can't be more than that because if you go too far then you'll be back in the cycle of the addiction zone which is obviously not comfortable with all the risks there.

That's right, I agree with that, profit and loss can never be predicted because of course this is gambling that only relies on luck and also you will never know when you will be lucky. Therefore, there is no point if you continue to gamble with the aim of winning even bigger because of course as I said above if you are unlucky then it will only increase the amount of losses. So really it's better to reduce your gambling, reduce the time and budget for gambling and take smaller risks because even so if you are lucky then you will still be able to win. So the point is that they must first understand everything that is in gambling.
2994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: October 09, 2023, 10:38:34 AM
Absolutely agree with you, honestly I also never thought that there was a way for us to cheat in casinos, casinos really involve a very large turnover of money in it, so with that alone I think we should be able to understand that they casinos will not give the slightest gap for us to cheat and obviously their security system must be tighter. That's obvious, and if we continue to try various ways to cheat with the aim of getting a lot of money from there I think it will just be a waste of time.

Of course, it's better not to gamble because whatever method you bring will not work if your goal is to cheat to get a lot of money. As we know that the concept of gambling is just a place to have fun and that means there is absolutely no promising victory let alone for consistent results it is very silly. So instead you want to get a lot of money but instead you yourself experience a lot of defeat because you keep chasing victory while the casino makes a system that only benefits them and little for gamblers. So the point is you have to think before you do it, it's pointless and it's better to find a job that is certain.


I think in land-based casinos cheating is quite impossible but I don't know if it is possible in online casinos. Anyway, I believe that gambling is already a risky activity and doing any cheating act will make it even riskier. Aside from cheating being an unethical practice, you are just putting yourself in risky situations. You can be banned or in the worst case, you can even get arrested and have fines from cheating. Also, if you have once cheated and it worked for you, there is a huge possibility that you might do it again because it worked on your favor, and thus you didn't get caught. And certainly cheating would become a habit to you which is not a right thing to do. So, if by any chance that cheating has every crossed your mind, I think it is much better to stop immediately than committing such act.
I don't know why does gambling should have involve cheating, because in the first place it should just be about fun and enjoyment.

Basically, we don't fully know if there is a way to cheat in land-based and online casinos, but I'm sure the overall assumptions must say that it's impossible if there is a way to cheat there, because before we think about the way, the casino must have known in advance about what security they should apply, because as I said above this involves a very large amount of money, and also of course the casino must have full responsibility to protect that money. But I don't know if the casino for example is still new and in terms of security is still not perfectly formed, but for online or land-based casinos that are already large and well-known, their security is very strict.

That's right, if you keep looking for ways to cheat there then it will be very likely that your risk will be greater, because you will only outsmart it with money, there is no other intermediary to be able to get a win except money, and if you keep looking for ways there it means that the more money you spend on trial capital. I also think this action might just be a waste of your time, there is very little chance of success, and it's better to be an ordinary gambler by coming just for entertainment and testing luck, it's healthier my friend.
2995  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 09, 2023, 10:05:53 AM
I think it's better for them to start changing their wrong mindset, don't look for victory or income in gambling because obviously the reciprocity will never be expected, and it is very likely that you will not accept the defeat that comes. Yes, I understand that for those who are already addicted, it is quite difficult because they are almost completely dominated by lust and curiosity, but I am sure they can slowly change it, oh well here I will emphasize more for those who have just come to gambling, please don't care about other people's wins even though they are very tempting, believe me it's just a trap for your mindset. You never know how many defeats the person suffered until he finally won. So the point is you have to be wiser and realistic about this gambling.

I think the main reason most people gamble is just to have fun looking for new excitement. However, as time goes by, after they get some wins, especially big wins from gambling, this encourages them to play more because they think that gambling can give them more profits. And this is also what can encourage someone to become addicted to gambling and quite a few of them are willing to give up their jobs so they can gamble in order to get more profits, chasing wins and profits in gambling which is something that is impossible to obtain. And when someone is in that position, it will be difficult for him to get out and let go of gambling from his life. Because "the more we continue to chase victory in gambling, the longer we will be trapped in gambling."

That's possible, but I don't think it's always the case because there are so many people who come with the intention of winning or earning anyway. For example, they are in an environment that is quite active in gambling and then some of their friends get a big enough win then it is very clear that they will also join gambling with the aim of getting the same win as their friend, even though on the other hand they don't know how many defeats their friend has experienced to get a win. Quite agree with your statement, there are also some who initially intended their intention to seek entertainment but over time they will unconsciously fall into the trap of gambling, namely addiction and too serious in seeing opportunities even though there is no guarantee whatsoever to win. Those who are already in the addiction phase will never feel satisfied with whatever results they get, as you said, even though they have won does not mean that it is a real victory, because after that they will return to bet with a larger amount and maybe you also know the answer they finally lost again, just because of their greed so they lost everything.

Addiction is a disease that exists in your subconscious, although there is self-control but it will not fully affect because you will often violate it.

That's right and I think it should be like that, before they decide to gamble they must first know what risks are there. But what usually happens is that they come only focused on winning, they know there is a risk of losing but they think it's like a small part that doesn't matter too much, even though on the other hand if they know the real facts the house has arranged everything and the percentage of winning is much lower than losing, so with that alone I think it can be used as a strong reason why now a lot of gamblers are finally down because of the wrong mindset. True, they must really be able to change their wrong mindset before something unexpected happens to them, because it is clear as you say this is only a place to find entertainment, but well for those who have already entered such a cycle it may be too late, but I think there is no harm in trying to change slowly.

Basically gambling is just about luck, that means even though you have tried dozens of times if you are unlucky then you will continue to lose, I think you should use your logic a little to think about this, instead of continuing to gamble because of the defeat that has upset you. It's a choice and you should consider it.
Rarely are gamblers willing to think about the risks that might arise when they are gambling. Instead, they will continue gambling and hope to win some money from playing several rounds of gambling. But they know they will face a risk of loss, and some of them are ready for that defeat and will not try to recover their losses. But others will try to recover their losses because they think they can. And yes, that's why they must change their mindset, especially if they have experienced loss. They don't need to continue gambling and try to recover their losses because that means they can experience even more losses.

If we could think about the luck that might not come to us, we might try to prevent many losses. We don't want to lose more money because it's not worth it if we win, especially if we've already lost a lot of money. But if they can accept their defeat, they can continue gambling and will not regret it if they have lost a lot of money.

Now in my opinion, from this alone, it is already known what exactly their intention is to come so that they get such a downturn, I think why they only consider the risk there as a small part that doesn't really matter is because they come with the wrong intention and mindset which is only focused on winning or to make money, not at all to find entertainment, I think this makes sense for them. Whereas on the other hand it is clear as we know and what I have mentioned above the casino has arranged everything, the percentage of wins is much lower than the loss that means the loss will continue to dominate, whatever method they use and they believe it will not fully affect. Usually people who come with this intention will definitely when they lose they will continue to play to catch up with the victory and to make up for the loss in the previous time, that's for sure.

Well the point is if our mindset is right and knows that the name of luck will not always come especially consistently then surely we will always think about how to reduce losses or prevent them in any way we can, and if you really want to continue gambling then you must really be able to be a gambler who is responsible for whatever happens, so that there are no regrets whatsoever.

Haaland is the best player that Manchester City currently has. Of course the club will not sell its star players very easily because Haaland is a player who really suits the club playing style and since Haaland arrival at Manchester City he has immediately shown his talent and has scored a lot. goal for Manchester City.

It seems like Haaland feels comfortable at Manchester City and Haaland will really develop his career at the club and it is possible that Manchester City will continue to extend his contract, but if Manchester City can find a truly suitable replacement, of course Manchester City will sell Haaland at a very high cost, of course to recruit other better players so that they can maintain their performance from year to years.
Yes, Erling Haaland has become a future asset for Manchester City and I am sure Manchester City will not just let the plyers they currently have leave. He is still young, and with his outstanding performances for Mnchester City he will certainly continue to try to be retained. We all know that Manchester City are in very good shape now, and they are solid. Haaland has been a goal-scoring machine for them. I don't see him being sold anytime soon.


I mean why would Mbappe want to stay here any longer? PSG are still struggling too much as you have seen until now. They might even be under the danger of dropping to the Europa League after the group stage. Because that performance against Newcastle was horrible and they would experience that also if they continue playing similarly.

Mbappe has of course been given a lot of money by PSG to extend his contract. However I don't think the same thing would be enough to convince him now.

Because for example Real Madrid are also very rich and Mbappe can simply choose them and continue to make a lot of money.
There is no reason for Mbappe to stay longer at Paris Saint Germain, unless he wants to make Paris Saint Germain even better. But what I see now is that he also doesn't feel at home here for long. And I'm sure next season he will join a new club, and there will definitely be a very long drama between him and his current club.
He refused a contract extension this season, but Paris Saint Germain could convince him. I heard there was a special agreement that he changed his mind to extend the contract.

Rennes vs PSG, which one you bet?

I can't understand when Rennes will play with a full squad, the match attend in their home, PSG was completely beaten by Newcastle, and PSG can't able to win against Clermont Foot. But, why Rennes is the underdog in this match? the odds Rennes to win is @4.00, that's really high.

I have no reason to not bet Rennes.
Though Paris Saint Germaine has been inconsistent with their results since the start of the season but against Rennes today, I think PSG are going to win the game.
They've not been able to win in their last two matches in all competitions, the last one was a heavy defeat in the UEFA Champions League away at Newcastle last midweek, so I think they're gonna try and make up for their shortcomings by playing in their full strength today and winning against Rennes.
It's hard to predict who will be the winner in this match, given that both clubs are not in good form. But I still put Paris Saint Germain as the club that has a greater chance than its opponent, Rennes.
Both Paris Saint Germain and Rennes have a chance to win, and it is possible that both clubs will share points in this match. Rennes will be the host, that may be their advantage in this match to put pressure on Paris Saint Germain.
In less than 3 hours this match will take place, let's see. But I will avoid this match to be included in my betting list.

We've passed Week 9 in the Arab League and there have been changes in the standings, in the top 4 in particular. Ittihad got their second defeat in week 9 and that result cost them their place as at the same time Al Nassr got 1 point as they also got a draw. But that was enough to make Al Nassr shift the position occupied by Ittihad before, yes even though it was only different in goal productivity.
Apart from all that, I was a little surprised by what Al Nassr achieved this week because they could only draw against a club that was actually not strong and fairly weak.

Lazio are currently winning against Atalanta. Lazio managed to score two goals in the first half, but Atalanta managed to score only one goal back so far. The first half is almost over and we are in for a very interesting game in the second half. There are often surprises in Serie A, so it will be interesting to see what Atalanta can do.

Although Lazio at this moment does not have a stable performance but yes, Lazio can still play with strong resistance when playing against the seeded team. So yes, in this home match Lazio is trying very well to be able to beat Atalanta . Although I think, that Atalanta also played well in this match and of course, there is nothing easy for them to win because these two teams also managed to score goals and in the statistical record also at least they are quite balanced . So yes, hopefully Lazio will really experience recovery from this match to the next matches, so that Lazio can compete again in the top zone in the Serie A standings.
Their overall play was balanced, although Atalanta fell behind by 2 goals in the first 15 minutes, they were able to equalize, it was only in the last 10 minutes that they had to concede again and make them lose this match. Lazio didn't give up easily and it paid off for them at the end.
Previously I thought the match would end with a draw seeing their balanced game, but it turns out Lazio can make a surprise at the end of the match. with this result, Lazio managed to improve their position in the standings.
