Corruption is always present in every aspect, also inseparable from the world of sports. This is often encountered and cannot be avoided where people who have skills and abilities lose to people who have money. It's also been rooted a long time ago, so it's very hard to get rid of. So it's true as you said to overcome this problem by carrying out a major overhaul from the ground up to clean up corrupt people and close the loopholes for corruption.

It is this reputation that causes everyone to want to be at the highest peak in football so that they justify any means to achieve it, including by committing acts of corruption. So this can hinder people who are talented in soccer but don't have enough money to get into it.
I believe in this case of Mbappé, corruption didn't have a negative consequence after all, at least for him and for France national soccer. The negative impact felt entirely over the corrupt agent who tried to get money from Mbappé's father, consequently losing the best soccer player Cameroon could have on its currently generation of athletes. It was totally deserved and there is nothing to complain about it.

I would feel troubled about the case only if the action of the corrupt agent had stopped Mbappé from reaching further on his career. Thankfully that is not the case.
Even so, the act of corruption is still wrong and must be avoided and cannot be justified for whatever reason.

That's why we may often witness someone talented lose the opportunity to show his talent to the people of his country. And this makes those talented people look elsewhere and move to another country where there is more respect for his talent he can do it. And when that happens, the country has lost a valuable asset that the country should be proud of.

Corruption is a long-standing problem in many countries and is difficult to eradicate. Moreover, this corruption occurs from the lowest level to the top. When there are organizations that want to uncover corruption cases, they will stop because there is a strong hand protecting people who commit corruption. This dilemma will probably continue for all time and is difficult to eradicate.
Yes... that's how someone will live in a place where he can be respected. And changing nationality is not a bad decision rather than having to bury the ideals that he dreamed of long ago. And a country losing a talented athlete is a consequence that must be accepted because the government in that country is unable to eradicate corruption.

There are sympathizers of mass organizations who reveal and shout about corruption cases, most of them do not last long not only because there is a strong hand in front of them but they also become silent when they are given some money. Like dogs that bark and when given a bone by their master they will be silent. Corruption is too strong and deep-rooted to be difficult to eradicate.

The only thing the only way we can really leave and forget about gambling is to keep ourselves as busy as possible so that there is no time to play gambling," But I am unable to do this.

If you find yourself coming back to gambling after you have left it, it means the person is an addict. Although the reason that most people are stocked in playing gamble is because of multiplier effect that they wish even though some argue that they are gambling for fun but many people too have disagreed to that also. Most people who gamble are people who are less busy and seeking for job so it is a remedy to set a gambler with a job and their rate of gambling will definitely reduce
Self-discovery is very important so that we can be comfortable when doing everything. And the most important thing is to respect all the decisions we make and the actions we take, if someone still returns to gambling then he is a person who has no determination and cannot respect the decisions he made before.

In the end it all boils down to self-control to avoid the effects of gambling addiction but I agree on this.

A person can forget about gambling if indeed he has found other pleasures besides playing gambling. And I haven't found another replacement yet.
I often discuss with friends "is there anything more fun than gambling ..?" and the final result of the discussion was "once you enter the world of gambling then you will forever be in it, because it is indeed difficult to find pleasure other than gambling and even if we find it it will not last long until in the end you will return to gambling. The only thing the only way we can really leave and forget about gambling is to keep ourselves as busy as possible so that there is no time to play gambling," But I am unable to do this.
It's okay if you haven't been able to forget gambling for now and it's true it takes time to find other pleasures. There must be something more fun than gambling and maybe you can try different things to find it. And I agree that we must keep ourselves busy so we don't have time to gamble.

You can still enjoy the present moment until you find other things so you can stop gambling. And if you have found other things that can distract you from gambling, you should stay focused on that or add other things so you don't think about gambling.
I still enjoy gambling and games in it, rather than me having to regret what I did and when I got into gambling it meant I was ready with all the consequences that were in it. I'm just trying to reset my gambling activity and continue to target to reduce the time of gambling. Even though I can't leave it, at least I can control the gambling activities that I do.

Gambling addiction is so bad that once they become addicted, no matter how hard they try they come back. If once given up then one should try to keep oneself connected. Under no circumstances should one gamble. People are lured and lured into the addiction of gambling in the name of fortune telling. Although it seems light at first, gambling habits can change people at some point so you should avoid gambling for yourself. For this, if you exercise regularly and spend time with friends if you are busy with new work it is possible to get rid of this addiction also if you work you may not have time to gamble.
I'm sure gambling addicts are aware that "they are addicts and gambling is detrimental" but unfortunately after they realize it, they don't do introspection and self-evaluation to be wiser in playing but they ignore this and continue their gambling activities. And later they will realize again "that gambling is dangerous" after they lose everything. Loss of property and family

thank you again bro... without ruling out that indeed victory does not come all the time but we can create opportunities to win at any time after we know and understand the tricks to win it but this is for certain types of gambling and betting games while slot gambling has no special tricks is to win the game and rely entirely on luck. and if someone says there are special tricks in slot gambling, in my opinion, that's all a lie. because in slot gambling those who play carelessly can win and those who play seriously and use tricks can lose.
It might work for sports betting, but we must remember that we can't win every day because the situations in every match can also change. But for luck-based gambling games, we will find it difficult to win, even if we try it every day it also won't be able to provide more opportunities. We might experience more losses that we won't even notice. So we can choose the gambling game we want so that we can be comfortable playing gambling and the important thing is that we are not fixated on getting a win. We are just trying to enjoy gambling that's all.

Yes.. this is where we need to distinguish between the types of games in gambling, which are luck-based gambling games and which are gambling games that require the use of skills and knowledge. Don't let us spend time analyzing the game and deepen our abilities even though the game is based on luck and vice versa we carelessly make bets even though the gambling game must be analyzed first to get the win.

And if you get caught and are not allowed to return to the casino that is the consequence when you cheat. and this also shows that your ability to disguise the fraud you are committing is not yet proficient. There is always a high risk to get a big profit.
That's why we don't need to cheat when we play gambling in casinos. But even so, there must be people who want to try to cheat because they see an opportunity to cheat. But it's true that we have to know the consequences after committing that cheating and finally getting caught by the casino. Casinos also definitely won't let us return to playing at their casinos. They will probably blacklist us and spread them throughout the casino network so we can't play at any casino.
Everyone wants to play fair but over time when they lose too many times there are several possibilities that will happen; First, they evaluate and improve the quality of play. Second, they decide to leave gambling because they think all of this is futile and provides absolutely no benefits. Third, it can make them fraudulent players so they can benefit from gambling.
3024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots fever on: August 15, 2023, 01:36:20 PM
Till today, I have had some losses and also some fine hits, what about you guys? Do you have any Slots spinning story to share? I'm sure some people are more lucky than many others.
I have the same experience as you when won 100x from my capital, but is not for long, after that, I lost again and return to the initial capital. I'm not surprised by your experience, because that's gambling, anything change can happen unexpectedly when you begin to sit on the chair. But even if the result is always not as desired, you can manage and mitigation of loss. For example, you withdraw 20$, that's one example of 0 lost mitigation. You just need to accomplish it just like a plan for how many wins you must to withdraw the winning.
A responsible gambler would never gamble away everything that they have won on top of their initial bankroll, they will always either withdraw some money along with their initial bankroll and only leave some of the total balance that is from the profits and gamble with that if they want to, otherwise, they will simply stop gambling at that particular time and withdraw the whole balance so that they don't lose the profit they've gained so far.

It is not really that difficult to do, is it? I know the urge becomes too strong sometimes but if you try and have some control over yourself, you can be able to do that, try doing something else so that you don't continue gambling after hitting a significant win only to have some profit for that session.

It's debatable though, yes of course everyone of us wanted to be a responsible gambler specially if we have bad experience about gambling and we don't want to get back to that former life.

But it's really hard to control our emotions mate, yes, we would like to withdraw if we have won something. But then again, the next day we will go back again and play and if it's very different as the previous days, meaning the slot games that we play didn't give us some good win then perhaps you will have to deposit again and play and hope to duplicate our success.

It is indeed very difficult to control emotions in gambling games. Maybe it's a good idea to ask other people to accompany you to play so that someone will wake you up when you lose control while playing.

It's a good idea when we play to determine the maximum deposit we make every day. Maybe you can limit your expenses to play slots between 2-5% of your total income every day. This needs to be done to prevent big losses in slot games.

Even a responsible gambler can go overboard and lose all of their winnings. In addition, this game may well fit into one of the strategies to get a bonus round, because as far as I know in some casinos to get into the bonus round can only after a certain number of spins. Therefore, losing the money won is not a factor that speaks of irresponsibility gambler. In my opinion, the irresponsibility is more likely to say the deposit replenishment after losing or losing money that are needed for other purposes.

Bonus rounds on today's slot games differ greatly from when slots first appeared. If in the past when we got the bonus round, we can be sure that we will get wins and profits when we get it, but slot games at this time are very difficult to predict because when you get a bonus round, most of it contains zonk.

What do you guys think about Bayern's opening game in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen? Quotes are good (same as they were for City vs Burnley):

9.20 - 6.00 - 1.30

and I'm waiting for a repeat of the result: the team, hurt by the loss of the Super Bowl, confidently beats the outsider. Plus, it's hard to believe that Tuchel will start the season with two failures and immediately put himself in a position where you simply can't make a mistake. He got Kane and now they will expect good old domination from Bayern.
It would be a bit questionable if in this match they experienced a similar result as against Leipzig.
1.30 isn't bad but it might be interesting if we include it in the multi.
Dortmund vs Koln and Leipzig vs Leverkusen would also be interesting to bet on but it might be a bit risky considering it's bound to be a bit tougher.
In the first match too I expect something more from Union as it will only face Mainz even though both clubs can be considered equal but I expect a lot for Union in this match.

Gunners were amazing in their opening EPL game this season, making positive impact on the faces of the supporters and the board. More elite clubs have improved their shapes and strengthened their vulnerabilities; it's truly phenomenal to see the Gunners compete at such an outstanding level both last season and this season. This time around, Arsenal will be scrutinized extensively. They had a fire in them that would accelerate them to become a dominant rival for the EPL crown. Mikel Arteta has bolstered his squad, and there is a great deal to be discovered about this fresh game plan.

Even has doh they played well they still seriously need to improve, and Arteta needs to improve from most of the matches have seen so far the premier league is going to be tough this season, even Chelsea is putting on a new form, and this is going to be a very dangerous season, and at first I was scared how saka was playing I think my confidence is still there for him. and the problem now is that we can only speak of last season and since is just the beginng we have to wait to see does that will survive, I don't want to high my hopes yet before I get disappointed there is time to decide.
I think Arsenal's problem is still in a condition where they sometimes play very well but immediately change significantly and this problem has occurred over the past few seasons. The unpredictable increase and decrease in their performance actually makes this troublesome for them.

Now it must be fixed if indeed Arsenal want something more than last season unless indeed they are satisfied in the top 4 for the current conditions can still be.
But I think Arteta and management will not be satisfied with the situation because of course with their loyalty in transfers this should be an extra incentive to achieve something better than last season.

Neymar is officially joining Al-Hilal finally. I think he has taken the best path for himself now. Because he didn't have a good relationship with PSG lately and it was time to leave for Neymar. As he has been getting injured quite often he hasn't been a big use for PSG in the recent times either.
Neymar is quite young to move to a less competitive league right now, but it is what it is! The relationship between PSG and Neymar broke down a long time ago, and the club have just been waiting for the best offer to sell him. I'm pretty sure Neymar wanted to stay in Europe, but it is difficult to find a team than can pay his salaries/wages, and also pay a good fee to PSG for signing him. The Saudi's have come with such wealth/money, and they make transfers like this look so easy, thus in the end PSG got a very good fee and neymar's salaries/wages is just absolutely ridiculous, so win-win for all parties, though i know Neymar wouldn't be completely happy, it wasn't supposed to end like this.
I don't think age is the main factor in this case.
Neymar's high price, large salary and performance that is not too striking because of the injury is one of the strong reasons for Neymar to leave.
With the arrival of several European players, the Arab league competition is getting better now, on the other hand for players like Neymar whose salary does not want to be reduced even though his performance is not as good as before, the Arab club offer is very possible not to be left. Big salary, not too tough competition and his performance even though not as good as before will still be above average in this league so I think this is a wise decision from a Neymar even though this will make his career fade faster.

Finally, the rumors about who the injured goalkeeper will replace Courtois have received an answer and Real Madrid have announced their recruitment via their social media. He is the Chelsea keeper Kepa who is on loan for a season to replace Courtois and I think this is a pretty good signing. There were rumors that Bounou from Sevilla was Real Madrid's target, but considering that Sevilla wanted a permanent deal for Bounou, this made Real Madrid discourage him. Now Kepa will become a pillar for Real Madrid and of course his battle with Lunin for the main place will soon be carried out.
Kepa was linked with several clubs but in the end he agreed to a loan move by Madrid.
It is currently rumored to be a one-season loan but it is still unconfirmed whether this will be a permanent option or not.

This is clearly a breath of fresh air for Madrid because with this at least the goalkeeper's position is a little safer and not only Lunin is relied upon at this time and Kepa is actually a good option to replace Courtois who will be injured for quite a long time now.

But I don't understand with Chelsea's move now whether they are trying to find other alternatives quickly to replace Kepa.
3029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 15, 2023, 06:29:32 AM
There are problems in defense, it's obvious, Ulreich is not the goalkeeper who can adequately spend the whole season. They focused all their energy on buying Kane, but completely missed the point that they have a much more serious problem with the goalkeeper. By the way, the Bayern attack also had a rather weak match, and Leipzig is an uncomfortable opponent for Bayern, but when Bayern cannot score a single goal in the entire match, this is also alarming.
Ultimately making Yann Sommer go to Inter is also a problem for them because as you said, Ulreich still hasn't been able to make some good waves with his form even though he still can but to make him a starter for a full season + Champions League and DFB I think this will burden him as a goalkeeper.
There's still about 2 weeks to see if they'll bring back a goalkeeper or make a gamble on Ulreich.
While they are doing their best for fixing all problems but still creating few other holes for themselves as well with selling of Yann Sommer is surely not wise decision from them with they were doing their best for bringing Harry Kane here at Allainz Arena, they have done another mistake which is surely can give them big problem in coming matches if they are not going to fix this quickly.

Even they have few good players in defence which can do better after adjustment and having some matches as well Ullreich is surely not person which can carry on for the Bayern Munich because his performance in first match is below then average which is surely problem for them.

Thomas Tuchel is one of the coach who quickly learn from his mistakes and have changed in strategy as well so with this defeat most chances he will also do few changes and make better things for the first match on Friday.
I don't really know why they immediately released Yann Sommer with Neuer still unavailable but there will definitely be some circumstances where Tuchel will do something about it.
Ulreich's game didn't look too good and it would be a bit of a risk to force him.
The rumor mill has been buzzing about Kepa and De Gea being brought to the Alianz Arena but Kepa already belongs to Madrid with his loan to Chelsea some time ago and now it is just waiting to see if the rumors about De Gea are true or not.

Honestly, I expect a change for the defense now, especially for the goalkeeper.
3030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: August 15, 2023, 06:14:04 AM
Winning a $100 daily from casinos may not be that much and it's kind of quite low to be honest but that's not the whole picture as there will be some instances that you might cross over a $100 in your hands but as expected, you will not call it a day because for the most gamblers, that will not be enough as humans will always want more. And in the end of the day, they will find themselves in a situation where they don't even have a clean $20 profit or worse might've gone overboard than the supposed budget.
If your capital is bigger, then a profit of $100 may be small but if your capital is only a dime because gambling is just for fun then $100 is something very big.
So in this case it depends on capital too when saying big or small profits but when we talk about the context every day, I think it's still something that is difficult to happen and even seems impossible if you want something like this because I still stick to my belief that luck in gambling doesn't come every day and this is what makes me believe that a profit of $100 / day is an impossible thing to happen in gambling.

I think that is the wager is big enough and the multiplier is low, so it would be the risk. I think it is possible for someone to get 100$ daily with a single dice roll.
But we both know that eventually the luck will run out and the bulk of the money being used to get those 100$ will go away in a second.

Besides the size of one's pocket, one can also consider the life style one wants to have or is currently having. For many big whales a constant income of 100$ per day whould not be enough, hence the reason the go bigger with thousands of dollars put at stake in a single session.
The context is every day Smiley when you say every day $100 then the luck is unlimited and I don't believe that lol.
Everything will eventually run out even if it's possible for a few days but it won't be possible if the context is every day.

A few days of luck is still possible and I won't deny that it's just that when it's every day obviously it's hard to accept.

As I said, it depends on the capital in the pocket because it's impossible for them to bet very large if they don't have large resources for their financial reserves.

Improving skills is the way to win gambling, but don't forget that we also can't always win in the bets we place, so we can only make better analysis. And to prevent big losses, we can reduce the amount of money for the bet so that our loss won't be too big if we lose. This is important because many of us still place big money bets and believe in the analysis we make or get. But the reality is that many matches don't go according to our predictions, which causes us to lose.
thank you again bro... without ruling out that indeed victory does not come all the time but we can create opportunities to win at any time after we know and understand the tricks to win it but this is for certain types of gambling and betting games while slot gambling has no special tricks is to win the game and rely entirely on luck. and if someone says there are special tricks in slot gambling, in my opinion, that's all a lie. because in slot gambling those who play carelessly can win and those who play seriously and use tricks can lose.

But our cheating can only be successful sometimes because the casino or the opponent will be suspicious and examine us in more detail. And if they find out that we are cheating, maybe we will be banned from gambling at the casino and no one will want to gamble with us because they are afraid that we will cheat again. But thanks for the tips and suggestions.

And if you get caught and are not allowed to return to the casino that is the consequence when you cheat. and this also shows that your ability to disguise the fraud you are committing is not yet proficient. There is always a high risk to get a big profit.


Talking about playing sneaky or cheating in gambling, I honestly immediately wondered in my mind how to do it? Moreover, it is done in an online casino, is there a kind of hack or something else? I never thought about it before, because even if we can do it, I think the casino will first know and detect that we are cheating in their game, and as a result it can have an impact on permanent account suspension.
In online casinos it is very difficult to find loopholes to be able to commit fraud because the security system is quite tight and you cannot play with friends so you cannot commit collusion. But if for example you are smart enough you can outsmart it by hacking security in online casinos. And when there is an account suspension as a result of the hacking attempt that you did, it is the consequence for the gambling adventurer.
3032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Slot Streamers on: August 14, 2023, 03:47:00 PM
I do not like online casino streamers. They are scammers and deceivers. I signed a petition some months ago for online gambling streamers to be banned. These folks which include but not limited to the list the OP has provided make a lot of easy money from every other thing other than gambling. They lead their young viewers astray deep in to the dungeon of gambling addiction. First, the do not gamble with their own money so, they don't even know the real risk involved. I doubt that they even talk about bankroll management. Second, they are paid by the casinos to promote their platforms and they also get paid through affiliate marketing. This is my viewpoint and opinion on the topic.
Do you think that casinos won't be promoted if these streamers don't do it? And do you think that a person who doesn't watch these streams is going to be safe from gambling addiction and they would never see a casino advertisement in their lives even if they are using the internet all the time? I really doubt that, and I would never blame someone else for getting me addicted to something because it all depends on my personal choices and mindset that I have.

It's their job, they get paid to promote services on their streams, those who don't like it or don't want to get influenced should simply avoid watching them. Why do parents let their children watch things that they are not supposed to? And if they think they know what's right for them, it's not the responsibility of the streamer to take care of that.
I respect them streamers because after all it is their job to earn money to fulfill their needs. And all of this depends on how we digest it when watching it, indeed there are some people who while watching streaming slots makes them tempted to make large deposits and there are also those who see it as entertainment after losing in slot games.

When they are already wise in gambling, when they see video streaming slots they will not take it too seriously and think of it as entertainment only and will not be influenced to make them even crazier in playing gambling.

And for those of you who are easily influenced by video streaming, it's better to avoid it by blocking all accounts showing streaming slots rather than making you even crazier in playing gambling.

Thats true, whatever the scenario we should keep things informed with wife. None is sure of what happens the next minute and we all are dependents. When we're sad and if someone is there to hear our difficulty, it'll be so good and makes us come out of the difficulty at the earliest. Same is with gambling, whenever we loss our mind used to think badly and sometimes even to end life. At such situation sharing with wife or the close ones will give the solution and consolation. This could change our mind and stay positive and lets us to have control.

It is very easy to say that anyone who is gambling should not hide his habit/addiction from his wife/partner. That is all hypothetical wherein in practice most men would never disclose their activities with their spouse or would be one. The reason is they do not want their relationship getting jeopardized because of such a habit. In general, women want their families to stay together but men are the ones who destroy their families. Those lies when they come out in the open are nothing but deceiving for a woman's faith and trust in his man.

It's not uncommon when we spend time with people we really love, so as much as possible we cover our own disgrace, especially if the people we care about don't like gambling and think it's a negative thing. So whether we like it or not we have to keep it a secret because on the one hand we don't want to lose our loved ones and on the other hand we also cannot leave gambling activities. But how long are we going to keep this fake and become a burden in itself which results in us having to play stealth which can raise suspicion in relationships. And no matter how good we are at keeping gambling activities secret, in the end, it will be discovered too, whether it's from our friends or from anyone, it will definitely be uncovered. then being honest is better, because we will never know how it will turn out if we never talk about it.

The only people that I know will have a problem disclosing their gambling activities with their wives are those who are addicted to gambling and spend a lot of money on gambling. How will your wife feel when she sees you wasting money on gambling?
yes, that's true especially if he finds out about it from someone else, this will make him even more hurt. It's good if we tell our gambling activities to people we care about because in my opinion he is the only person who can stop us when we lose control while gambling.

Large amount is the red flag in gambling, why would anyone believe that they can recover their losses from gambling? How many times have they won to be courageous about getting their money back? Even if they must try, why are they using large amount of money again? When I see such people I will only burst out with laughter, because they saw the result coming, and they decide to still do it, who's fault it is?

Know when to stop when you keep losing, that's why we must have a dedicated amount for gambling always.

If I keep losing and losing, once that threshold is met I am walking away for another day before I can return to any casino.

The problem with most gamblers is they never learn, everyone lost money to gambling as a beginner but what have you learned? I learnt nothing than saving my head from financial disaster all because I want a sudden change in life, now I learn to use my head.
A gambler should know when to stop whether they are winning or losing. When you are losing constantly, you should stop immediately because you should get the notion that you are not going to win anything at that particular time. And when you are winning, you should stop when you are still in profit because it doesn't take a lot of time for you to gamble away what you've won and also lose a part of your initial bankroll because things escalate quickly in gambling.

So, learning to have some self-control and understanding when to stop are two essentials to have for every gambler if they don't want to keep losing all the time because if you don't know when to stop, the sessions where you might be winning will turn against you and you will eventually lose everything again.
When we enter the world of gambling, it is the same as entering an endless maze game. so when we have entered the world of gambling it will be difficult to find a way out so we can let go of gambling from our lives.

But instead of us just spending time looking for a way out but still stuck there. Never mind.. it's better to just enjoy the game, the important thing is we can control ourselves in gambling as you said "when to play and when to stop". It's hard to do this but easy to say, but if we don't try we'll never know how it will turn out. and it's not about the result but about how the effort you put in can be maximized..? Because the result depends on how much effort you put in.

Things like these can barely vanish forever, even if the current people are found, punished, removed from their positions, and new people are hired in their place, someday in the future, the same thing will start happening again because greed doesn't leave human at all, and it's only some people who can actually control their greed but those who see they have some power and can do certain things, they will barely have any control and they do things like these.

And they don't really care about their country at all, all they care about is their own selves and their bank balance, so they don't think it through that if they reject a good player, that player might go to another country and play from there and become a precious asset for that country which could happen with their own country but only didn't because some scoundrel wanted to get money out of him.
That's because everything is too deep-rooted and done long ago. This can only be done if there is a total overhaul of the association from the bottom to the highest and all are replaced by new employees who are experienced in their respective fields. But even so, there is still an opportunity to do that because corruption and illegal things cannot be eliminated easily.

They only think about how they can get much money from doing that. Even if they can accept talented players, they will also receive prizes not only from the government but also from the community will give something to them. Apart from that, the players who got the chance to play will not forget their services for having chosen them to join the team that defended their country.
Corruption is always present in every aspect, also inseparable from the world of sports. This is often encountered and cannot be avoided where people who have skills and abilities lose to people who have money. It's also been rooted a long time ago, so it's very hard to get rid of. So it's true as you said to overcome this problem by carrying out a major overhaul from the ground up to clean up corrupt people and close the loopholes for corruption.

It is this reputation that causes everyone to want to be at the highest peak in football so that they justify any means to achieve it, including by committing acts of corruption. So this can hinder people who are talented in soccer but don't have enough money to get into it.

Winning a $100 daily from casinos may not be that much and it's kind of quite low to be honest but that's not the whole picture as there will be some instances that you might cross over a $100 in your hands but as expected, you will not call it a day because for the most gamblers, that will not be enough as humans will always want more. And in the end of the day, they will find themselves in a situation where they don't even have a clean $20 profit or worse might've gone overboard than the supposed budget.
If your capital is bigger, then a profit of $100 may be small but if your capital is only a dime because gambling is just for fun then $100 is something very big.
So in this case it depends on capital too when saying big or small profits but when we talk about the context every day, I think it's still something that is difficult to happen and even seems impossible if you want something like this because I still stick to my belief that luck in gambling doesn't come every day and this is what makes me believe that a profit of $100 / day is an impossible thing to happen in gambling.

WIth the way things went about yesterday's game between Chelsea vs Liverpool that the Chelsea fans would be pleased.
The Blues did everything possible to get hold of the Liverpool  that's not really in a good shape. Is best for Klopp to get better midfielders to cover those positions that are empty if not this season is going to be bad for them and playing an attacker in the midfield is not going to help, imagine they play against Newcastle, it would be a different ball game and they would lose if it happens to be so (that's against Newcastle).
I think it is the other way around mate, Liverpool did everything possible to curtail the blazing Chelsea team. I think both clubs are building a stable squad and they will keep improving as they play more games. But the absence of Nkunku was felt on the Chelsea side. Chelsea lacked a player that will fearlessly face defenders and have great chances or even cause penalties. Both teams can have the quality to play any club in the English premier league. But the most exceptional player in Chelsea for me was Conor Gallagher. He performed above my expectation with is tireless runs and accurate tackles.
The reshuffling of most players also for both clubs at the moment makes them transitional clubs in my opinion.
The Chelsea players this season can be said to be new again in terms of players, adaptations and coaching schemes because they always try to make some changes before which makes it complicated and this season they also removed a lot of core players last season so this is the initial process for them.
The same goes for Liverpool. Szoboszlai and MacAllister still need to get used to the scheme and the new club but looking at the performances of these two players is actually quite good in my opinion.
On the other hand now is the moment again where Jota and Diaz have to prove themselves. these two players did not contribute too much last season because of problems with their feet. but from the score of sharing points in the big match obviously it is something good.

True, looking at the history of the last few seasons none of the Serie A clubs have done back to back because they always failed to win the championship after they got the scudetto in the previous season so in this case it will raise skepticism for Napoli and that I think is quite natural.

But of course this will only be speculation because the proof is still not happening considering Serie A will start in a few days.
It will be interesting to see if there are some clubs back in the mix eventually because this season the fight seems to be gone and Napoli can comfortably cruise to the Scudetto.
Of course, competition in Serie A this season is even more interesting to watch because several teams can put strong pressure on Napoli to defend the Scudetto title. I think Napoli will face a tough test in defending the Scudetto title, especially since they are in a position left by Spalletti because he chose to resign after successfully leading Napoli to win the trophy last season.

So to become champions again, it will require stronger concentration for them in facing their opponents this season.  like Inter Milan, whose squad depth is getting stronger, of course their renaissance must be watched out for by Napoli this season.
Yep, anything can still happen and we just have to wait to see how the Serie A clubs perform this season.
I expect a lot of clubs to make a great competition, Juventus is currently the hope because last season they had a lot of problems starting from injuries and some sanctions faced.
On the other hand I want to see how Inter do with their new squad at the moment especially the strikers and my biggest hope is for Atalanta. They haven't done so well in the last few seasons, they were one of my favorite clubs for the dark horses but their consistency has slipped in the last few seasons.
We'll see the first game of Serie A played this weekend.

But in this case it would be very funny if Bayern's defeat of Leipzig in this match was considered the curse of Kane because if we look at last season's h2h alone Bayern in 2 meetings never even got a victory against Leipzig because in the first meeting they drew and the second meeting they lost 1-3 to Leipzig so it would be funny and it would be very silly if someone said Bayern's defeat was due to the curse of Kane lol.

Bayern lost because they still have a lot of mistakes made besides that their defense is also not yet solid so there is no need to blame a player especially Kane who has just arrived because it will look funny.


There are problems in defense, it's obvious, Ulreich is not the goalkeeper who can adequately spend the whole season. They focused all their energy on buying Kane, but completely missed the point that they have a much more serious problem with the goalkeeper. By the way, the Bayern attack also had a rather weak match, and Leipzig is an uncomfortable opponent for Bayern, but when Bayern cannot score a single goal in the entire match, this is also alarming.
Ultimately making Yann Sommer go to Inter is also a problem for them because as you said, Ulreich still hasn't been able to make some good waves with his form even though he still can but to make him a starter for a full season + Champions League and DFB I think this will burden him as a goalkeeper.
There's still about 2 weeks to see if they'll bring back a goalkeeper or make a gamble on Ulreich.

But in this case it would be very funny if Bayern's defeat of Leipzig in this match was considered the curse of Kane because if we look at last season's h2h alone Bayern in 2 meetings never even got a victory against Leipzig because in the first meeting they drew and the second meeting they lost 1-3 to Leipzig so it would be funny and it would be very silly if someone said Bayern's defeat was due to the curse of Kane lol.

I missed this match, and seeing from the score it was quite crushing and can be said to be embarrassing, but I don't agree that defeat is linked to one player who hasn't even been at the club for a week, and maybe Bayern Munich's current weakness is their goalkeeper, and Bayern Munich should have had to look for another goalkeeper who can rotate well because the injury experienced by Manuel Neuer made Bayern Munich only have 1 active goalkeeper, and later this can be very detrimental when their main goalkeeper is currently injured or something else that ends up damaging the game scenario they are building.
Harry Kane is a good striker but everyone also has to understand that he doesn't always score goals in his game, and his appearance in this super cup is the first time and everyone needs adaptation, and Bayern Munich are so insistent in signing him of course because they understand the potential of this player.
Even that was just one day after he arrived so it's ridiculous to attribute this defeat to just one player.
Yep, I've discussed this before in the past few days when the Kane deal started there was bound to be a goalkeeping problem sooner or later after Yann Sommer left.
Ulreich will indeed be able to get more flying hours but after a long time on the bench and immediately made a starter for a long time of course this will be complicated for an Ulreich so inevitably if Bayern do not dare to gamble with Ulreich then the most likely option is to find a new goalkeeper in the rest of this summer transfer.

For a moment I forgot that this season Napoli is under a different coach than last season. Rudi Garcia as Napoli coach this season will certainly have a different strategy. Last season Spalletti managed to bring Napoli to the top of the standings perfectly. So it will also be extraordinary that Rudi Garcia can also bring Napoli to the top of the standings this season.

Doubts arise about Napoli's ability to defend the title because almost no club other than Juventus, Inter Milan or AC Milan can win Serie A in a row, other clubs besides the 3 above can only win once and after that it takes a very long time to be able to return to being champions, and also that their coach change occurred when the team won the championship will make it doubtful whether the new coach is able to bring this club back to being champions even though the Napoli coach change was due to Spalletti's own decisions and rumors due to an unapproved salary increase request. However, it is possible that Napoli will still perform brilliantly because even though some of their players have moved, they have also managed to bring in new players.

True, looking at the history of the last few seasons none of the Serie A clubs have done back to back because they always failed to win the championship after they got the scudetto in the previous season so in this case it will raise skepticism for Napoli and that I think is quite natural.

But of course this will only be speculation because the proof is still not happening considering Serie A will start in a few days.
