They will be aiming for the best result to ease their way out of this group stage, they will definitely not want to drop points in this match.
Their chances of winning this match are also greater than Porto even though they will act as guests.
Xavi must have prepared the best strategy they have, and not only that they must also have studied the game of this opponent and looked for gaps to be utilized there. Most likely they will be able to bring home points, even if they can't win, at least they will bring home 1 point.

We are all aware that the group stage for Barcelona is something easy (at the moment) after the previous 2 seasons they were always joined by big clubs but for this season they will not be too bothered because their opponents can still be said to be easy opponents in the group stage so this will not be a problem for Barcelona.
It would be outrageous if this season they also failed because with the strength of the team and their condition which is much better than before, it is certainly not something difficult to be at the top of group H.
Given the group they're in now, it shouldn't be difficult for them. But I still want to see whether they will be able to show something similar to their performance in La Liga or not. If we go back to the previous season, their performance was good in La Liga, but when they went to the Champions League they showed something different, and even when they went to the Europa League they couldn't talk much there. Thus, we must first see how consistent they can be in the Champions League.

I think the Porto vs Barcelona match will be quite exciting because these two teams both won in their first match in the Champions League. Even though Barcelona has quite a good advantage in their squad, playing at their opponent's home ground means they won't win this match easily. Because Porto will play with all their might to put pressure on the guests in this match. Apart from that, Porto is not a weak team in the Champions League so Xavi really has to fight to secure victory in this match.

Porto in the previous match managed to play quite well when they beat Shakhtar with a score of 1-3. Even in that match, Porto was able to score a goal in the early minutes, which Barcelona had to be wary of. Therefore, I think Barcelona has quite a strong opponent in this match, so my prediction is that the score in this match will be won by Porto with a narrow score.
Yes, it will certainly be an interesting match between the two clubs. You could say it's a batle for the top of the table, although it's too early to talk about that.

But if we look at the group, then Porto and Barcelona will be first and second at the end of the season, regardless of who wins the group, the result of the two-legged tie between them will be decisive for their position at the end of the table.
You're right, Porto could surprise them in the early minutes, because I also see that they'll be looking to get an early goal.

They missed the chance to get full points in this match. They were not unable to create opportunities, but none of the opportunities they created ended in a goal. it is unfortunate that they have to lose points again with a fairly weak opponent.
I don't understand this club, with their financial strength they still can't show anything extraordinary, instead they get a lot of problems that take turns, whether it's between coaches and players, players and players or even with their own supporters.

Thanks to them by not being able to dominate this year French Ligue 1 this league is becoming ever more interesting.There are quite some teams fighting for the title during this year and I know for sure with the performances of Paris this will continue to stay the same,sure Paris sometime can fire up a good game like the one against Lyon but they are not being at all consistent and this means that most likely we will continue to see a more beautiful league this year compared to the recent ones.

If we add that Paris will also fight in the Champions League chances are even higher for them not to be able to win this year title here in France.I would bet on Monaco to win the league as I am sure the odds would be really high for them this year.
It's a good situation for other clubs to take advantage of, but the problem is whether they can do it or not? For now perhaps Monaco is the club that stands out the most, their play is good and they have good goal productivity. But will they also be able to maintain this good game until the end of the season to win the title from Paris Saint Germain? That is something that cannot be ascertained, because I see that almost all clubs in Ligue 1 do not have consistent performances from start to finish.



Mbappe is PSG's burden. It is true that he is a player who has extraordinary talent, but the issues he has developed since the start of this season will have an impact on all players. I agree with you, PSG is too busy with the Mbappe problem so their basic goals are forgotten, I'm sure that when Mbappe leaves PSG will play better and more solidly, the coach will find it easier to implement strategies.
PSG's current situation is not because they are burdened by Mbappe's future, which in my opinion has no influence on the team's main target in every match.
Mbappe is an important player in the PSG squad and Mbappe is the main target player for other big clubs because of his abilities. In the match against Clermont Foot, Mbappe got good marks. I suspect the draw against a weak Clermont Foot team was part of Luis Enrique's plan to prepare his team to focus on facing Newcastle in the Champions League.
We focus so much on one player that we forget that they are a club that has many players in it. Yes, it's natural that when a club has a player who is labeled a "star" then our focus will be shifted to just one player.
Paris Saint Germain's situation is not fine, I will not blame Mbappe, but indeed this situation was created because they took care of this one player too much. The privilege they gave him at the start gave them a headache in the end. That's how we are when a club has good finances, but they can't utilize them.

I thought Roma would lose again against a promoted team like Frosinone, but it seems that this time they won quite convincingly and a score of 2-0 sealed Roma's victory at the Olimpico stadium. It seems like they are starting to regain confidence and maybe this could be a pretty good start for them in the future. In this match, Roma's lead was opened by a goal scored by their loan striker, Romelu Lukaku, in the 27th minute and it seems that this time Lukaku can really be relied on to score goals. Then Pellegrini scored the second goal towards the end of the second half and sealed the win at home. I think even though Roma won this time, it will still raise other doubts next week because this team is not yet completely consistent, so if you want to bet, it's better to just give up and bet on another match.
They managed to win, but I hope it's not a momentary victory. I mean the next week they lose again, even to a club that is not a favorite or weak. The previous 3 weeks they won big, but after that they lost and drew. Now it could happen again, to prevent that they must improve their consistency so as not to repeat the same mistakes. Because if they continue to experience things like that, then they will never be able to move to the top of the table. I'm waiting for their next match.


October was a terrible month for AC Milan. This month AC Milan will face strong teams both in Serie A and in the UCL.
In Serie A, Milan will have 3 matches against Genoa, Juventus and Napoli. Meanwhile, in the UCL they have to face Dortmund and PSG. Pioli must be able to rotate players well to ensure Milan players are ready for these tough matches. Pioli known as coach that mostly pushing players too hard even though they are tired still used until the last minutes of the match before making a replacement for the player. If Pioli continues like this, Milan will be disadvantaged by the blunders made by their own coach.
With such a tough opponent on the horizon, preparations must be made well. I agree that they need to rotate players, but not just for the sake of rotating, but the rotations must be effective.
The opponents they will face are clubs that have a favorite status and are included in the calculation, if they can get through the tough match with a clean sweep of victory, then in the future their path will be more open, and certainly their confidence and mentality will be greater.

AC Milan are under a lot of pressure right now, I hope they don't get nervous during this tough month.

Finishing week 8 with a win, Al Nassr are now moving up the table following the draw in the match between AL Ahli and AL Ettifaq. They are now on a 6-match winning streak after losing their first 2 matches. They are by far the most prolific club scoring 24 goals so far, their star player is also the top scorer with 10 goals, yes that is Cristiano Ronaldo. Not only that, he is also the player who has recorded the most assists so far with 5 assists. His sharpness is back at an older age, it looks like he is fighting with his age, amazing.
3085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 02, 2023, 12:11:58 PM

The match is getting more interesting and so far Bayern Munich is still the strongest club in the Bundesliga, even though currently Bayern Munich is in third place but only a little difference so Bayern Munich can still chase these point from the matches thats Bayern Munich will faced later.
Bayern Munich performance has not decreased at all, he has not received defeat at all from any club at the start of this season, rather than accepting defeat Bayern Munich is optimizing the draw so thats Bayern Munich does not let other club steal points from him.


Even though Bayern Munich is confident enough to faced the Champions League, competition in the Champions League is not easy Real Madrid and Manchester City will try to winner the Champions League title, so Bayern Munich must improved the club performance and be able to appear consistently to compete against strongs opponents in the Champions League.

At this point, who does not want to see the Bundesliga have a good competition for the title? I think almost every people on earth, except for the Bayern Munich fans want the league to get competitive. Club has been winning the Bundesliga trophy for 11 years in a row. Of course, this is going to become boring. It has become so bad that even if Bayern Munich does not play at their best, they still end up winning the title.

I don't think anyone actually wants Bayern Munich to perform bad. People just want to see good competition from other teams in the Bundesliga. Which is not happening for a long time. Personally, I actually want to see Harry Kane win a title. And at the same time, I also want Bayern Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title. so it is kind of a conflict of interest for me.

Of course I would also like to see one of the competing Bundesliga clubs win the title at the end of the season, not always about Bayern Munich, because yes you are right it is quite boring for 11 years the trophy has always been dominated by Tuchel's squad, either they are really strong and besides that I admit they are very lucky, meaning that sometimes even though Bayern Munich are in poor form in the title race, it doesn't fully affect the answer at the end of the season, like last season they were very lucky when Dortmund had to swallow a bitter pill because they wasted the opportunity to break Bayern Munich's dominance as defending champions and I said it was extraordinary luck.

This season I see some teams are very active in the trophy hunt at the end of the season, they bring unusual performance, such as Leverkusen, Leipzig, Dortmund and Stuttgart, of course they are now very strong and obviously this is very likely to break the dominance of Bayern Munich as defending champions at the end of the season, let's see. 
3086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When the fun stops on: October 02, 2023, 11:42:59 AM
It's not healthy anymore to play without fun. Just shows you have other intention on why you keep playing even it doesn't entertain you anymore. Recovering the losses and a goal of winning huge as you have said are indeed often the reasons for gamblers to continue what they used to. It's not right, however they will only realize the mistakes after experiencing the worst like having debts.
Yeah and the best thing is stop to gamble when you not feel fun during gamble, take a break to cool down your mind, it's like don't make a decision when you're still angry. Gambling isn't the only one entertainment in this life, you can play video game, watching Netflix, hangout with your friends etc.

And if the problem worsens to the point the person cannot get entertained by other activities but gambling, then obviously that would be the time to seek for professional help.

What you said it is valid for someone who has not immersed deep enough in problem gambling, but imagine if someone who lost money and decided to cool down and get away from gambling for some days discovered he cannot feel good anymore or enjoy anything, as long as his losses stay in his mind, it is a truly sad situation to think about...

If indeed someone (gambler) has entered at such a level then well there is no other way other than maybe seeking help from professionals, but honestly I would not say that it can fully succeed because of course the reference point of whether or not it is recovered returns to the gambler, if they want to obey everything suggested by professionals then surely the chances of recovery are very large but if not then I think it will only be a waste of time. In fact everything will come back to the sincerity of themselves, the initial disease is in their wrong mindset and that can fight it all only if they try to realize that it is really useless. And even if you use professional services for this problem, the results will not be instantaneous and must go gradually.

That's right, the most dangerous and maybe it can be called addiction at the highest level if they can no longer feel any pleasure there, I have one colleague who has run out of everything and he said that even though he won but there was no sense of satisfaction or extraordinary sensation from the victory, this is what is feared, you have lost the taste. And well it doesn't hurt if you take a little time to meditate in a really quiet place to think about everything, I'm sure it can help find a decision.
3087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: October 02, 2023, 11:01:59 AM
Even though we know that gambling, like drinking, is fun if you do it responsibly. Only bet what you are willing to lose and do not go beyond your limits. However, there are many stupid people who cannot control themselves.
Don't be surprised if they can't be controlled because usually gamblers like that are always obsessed with people around them who are gamblers too and feel lucky in gambling and get money easily through gambling. Also sometimes they see streamers winning big money so they believe that gambling doesn't have to be responsible. responsible and controlled because that is the way that makes them rich as soon as possible.

Yes, that's right my friend, and it depends on where their mindset takes them. I understand and believe that the fact is that they are too much and obsessed with winning there which is in fact very difficult and the percentage is lower than the defeat that will always accompany it. Indeed, many of them are gamblers who are increasingly influenced by their surroundings, as you said above, for example they lost today and felt frustrated and then after that they saw some of their colleagues who managed to win or also they saw a video of one of the stremer who managed to get a large amount of winnings in gambling, of course just by seeing things like that their assumptions and mindset will get lost again, they will think "maybe today I made a mistake so I lost, I can definitely win like that person", well I'm sure their assumptions will get lost again like that. Are you sure you will be able to share the fate of the person you saw there? Not necessarily my friend, maybe they were just lucky out of hundreds of people who lost at that time like you, and it will continue to roll.

But usually people have to experience failure first to realize that gambling should only be used for entertainment, like we have fun drinking alcohol with friends, so it's enough to just enjoy it, not as a source of permanent income because that's clearly not possible. they are not stupid, it's just that they need bitter experience to become an experience in their life.

Of course, there will always be failures before the person goes to a better or right path, they have to go through a steep cliff first before realizing it, I agree with that. About how bad they will be honestly no one will know, because only they themselves will realize by themselves through their worst experience there, that's very appropriate. So gambling is nothing more than entertainment and about luck, that's it.
3088  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 02, 2023, 10:33:58 AM
If I don't have money, I won't force myself to gamble so that it doesn't become a burden in my life when I lose, but if I want to play then I will only put in a little of my money. for entertainment when I'm tired in my spare time. And that will make us happy and avoid risks later. So don't force us to gamble when we don't have money, because if we force it then bad things will happen that we will immediately realize and regret.

I think that mindset is only for people who have common sense, meaning only for brands that are still not too far into gambling, meaning that they are not addicted at all. That's easy to say but it's hard for those who are already addicted, especially their mindset that has been disturbed to instill assumptions like what you said above. Like the title above that now it is not uncommon for those who come to gambling to multiply the money they bring even though they actually have no more money other than the money they bring to gamble, I think everything has been reversed, you should be allowed to gamble when you really have enough money or that means all your needs have been met and there is a little money left over that is not used then there you can if you want to allocate that budget to gambling.

But now the strange thing is that even though they don't have money, they force themselves to gamble, and with the mindset of "hopefully I can be one of the lucky ones today compared to others", that's the main disease. If you don't have money it's better to stay at home, don't go to the casino with that strange mindset, obviously the casino won't care about your position, even if you don't have money the casino still won't care about you, so it's better for you to be wiser in thinking.
3089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: October 02, 2023, 10:11:31 AM
You are talking about people who have a pronounced gambling addiction and they visit casinos not for gambling or pleasure they have a compulsive and unhealthy desire to beat the casino. We all understand that this can happen only by chance and judging by the theory of probability of such an event is unlikely, but gambling addicts do not understand this and with manic passion trying to win a large sum. Such people need urgent medical and psychological help otherwise they may suffer from their desires.  
Unfortunately there is still a huge stigma against those that suffer some kind of mental disorder, since they fear looking for a psychiatrist, being labeled and then for that label to never disappear.

And this causes them to not look for professional help, as they play mental gymnastics thinking that if no professional has diagnosed them with an addiction then they are not addicted, forgetting that what matters is not the label but the reality, and someone which spends most of their time and their money gambling is an addict, regardless of how they try to soften and alter the truth.
Maybe there is a fear of gambling addicts that if they reveal their gambling addiction to other people, they will be rejected by people, making them unable to accept it. And that's what makes gambling addicts not want to admit that they have a gambling addiction so they don't dare to be honest with other people. But if they don't care about what other people will say, they will still say or be honest with people that they need help and want to cure their gambling addiction. That will allow them to get the right treatment to cure their gambling addiction.

Well it's possible if, I agree a little bit with this expression of yours. It is true that there must be some of them people in our neighborhood who assume that gamblers are people they should avoid or stay away from because it will be able to have a negative impact on them, it makes sense to digest, especially if the people around them are very sensitive so it is true that with that then the addicted gamblers will definitely close or will not know anyone that they have a gambling addiction, although maybe they have no bad intentions to harm others but still people's perceptions must be different - different. Of course that's the main reason why people like them don't admit their bad habits, besides not wanting to be shunned by their friends they also don't want others to have a bad opinion of them.

Yes but it depends on their own personality as addicts, if indeed they don't care about anything including bad words from others then maybe they could tell people, but I think that's unlikely, I mean it's unlikely that those who are addicted to gambling will suddenly tell others about their bad habits if they are not in an urgent situation, I think like that.
3090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: October 01, 2023, 06:46:45 PM
With no goals scored, it seems like the Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq match was quite boring and we can see from the existing statistics that not many chances were created and the 0-0 draw meant the two only shared 1 point. As hosts, Al-Ahli failed to get full points even though they had a much better squad than Al-Ettifaq, but in fact they were not as usual and they were not even able to score 1 goal. Meanwhile for Al-Ettifaq, of course this is a pretty good result considering that in the away game they can still get points. This result means that the two of them will compete again in the following week because the distance between the two is not that far, only 1 point apart in the standings.

Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq at least have great squads and moreover, the head coach of Al Ettifaq is Gerrard. So for me, the draw was probably a natural result, because it seems like Al Ettifaq also defended more in this match. Because after all, Al Ahli also managed to have good dominance in this match but unfortunately, every effort that Al Ahli had also still failed to provide a goal in this match. So yes, it seems like a draw is not bad in the match, unless if we bet on a home win or other options, then of course we will be disappointed with a goalless draw like this.
As I predicted earlier, a draw was the best and fairest result for both clubs, and that's exactly what happened. They played it safe in this match, making it very difficult for both clubs to penetrate the defense of each opponent. Al Ettifaq seemed to have planned for this result, judging by the way they defended and attacked. They didn't play too freely, perhaps because a draw was enough for them in this match.
With this result it benefited another club, Al Nassr who managed to shift them in the standings.
3091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 01, 2023, 06:31:50 PM
The score is still 0-0, both clubs are still plying goalless. Paris Siant Germain controlled the game, but they still struggled to find the back of the net. They haven't fully developed their game either, and Clrmont have so far been able to keep Paris Saint Germain from penetrating their defense further. I think the Paris Saint Germain midfield must work more creatively, because they need to make their attacks more creative to be able to penetrate the defense built by Clermont. Because this is their chance to get 3 full points.
Considering the rich and very quality players that Paris Saint Germain added to their squad in the summer transfer window, I think it very poor to see them struggling to score against a team like Clermont.
Luis Enrique needs to do better for his new club by finding the best playing pattern that'll help bring out the best from his boys or risk losing his job before the end of the season.
They missed the chance to get full points in this match. They were not unable to create opportunities, but none of the opportunities they created ended in a goal. it is unfortunate that they have to lose points again with a fairly weak opponent.
I don't understand this club, with their financial strength they still can't show anything extraordinary, instead they get a lot of problems that take turns, whether it's between coaches and players, players and players or even with their own supporters.

Easy win for Inter, once again they are back on track.

Lautaro scored 4 goals as a substitute. Impressive.

Lautaro Martinez has often been criticized for his performance in the past. But this season he has scored some great goals and answered the criticism with his performance. There is no better way for a striker to respond to criticism. Also, I read a statistic in the news today. Lautaro Martinez is the first player in Serie A to enter the game from the bench and score 4 goals. Sometimes he is criticized for having a style of play that is far from team play. I agree with that criticism, but he's only 26. And he can keep learning new things. I think he has the potential to reach a better level. Maybe he can reach the same level as Osimhen and Haaland.
There were 4 goals scored by INter Milan and those 4 goals came from one player, Lautaro Martinez. Coming as a substitute did not make it difficult for him to score goals and he managed to buy up all the goals created.
I thought after the first half ended without any goals scored, the match would end with a narrow score for INter Milan's victory, but L Martinez became the difference with the goals he created.
This result makes them record another victory after the previous week they had to lose to Sassuolo. Their points are still the same as Ac Milan by collecting 18 points.

I agree that Sevilla's loss in this match was because they were unlucky, Barcelona could not create goals, and the 1 goal that came in this match was a goal born from Sevilla's Sergio Ramos.
Yes Sevilla could have held Barcelona at bay, and I think a draw would have been the result had there been no own goal. But this is football, sometimes luck is also the deciding factor whether a club wins or loses. And that happened to Sevilla in this match, they must be willing to lose points because of their unluckiness.
The match between Sevilla and Barcelona was very competitive. Although Barcelona had more possession, Sevilla had some great chances and missed them. Barcelona attacked brilliantly to score one goal after another until Lamine Yamal headed a header into Ramos's leg and sealed the victory with an own goal.
Although a club plays well, but when luck is not in their favor, then they will still lose, that's how Sevilla feels in this match.
Sevilla will next face PSV in the Champions League. In the first match of the Champions League, Sevilla could only win a draw, while PSV got a crushing defeat from Arsenal. I am not sure in this match, both Sevilla and PSV, because the possibility of them beating each other exists, and also maybe a draw in this match has a chance to happen. I probably won't place this match in my betting.



Girona can play well but cannot easily compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid is the strongest team they win the match by playing strong not by luck. no team has ever done as well in La Liga as Real Madrid. This year in La Liga, Real Madrid has been behind for some time, but they have gone to a very good position again.  And it may not be possible for Barcelona to dislodge Real Madrid from the first position
In this season's match, Girona was not as usual; this season they showed the strength of the players and the strategy they used, which was effective against some of the strongest teams, such as Real Madrid, and kept Barcelona from scoring goals. With the final result being a draw, at least Girona showed that they managed to learn from several seasons in the past and look for the weaknesses of their enemies by paying attention to the style of play last season.
It will take a huge effort for Girona to beat Rel Madrid, even though we know that they have been doing well in the early part of La Liga this season. This was their first defeat of the season in the 7 gams they've played, and on that note I'm actually a little surprised by their early season form. But will they be able to maintain their performances consistently, or is it just the beginning of the season? I hope they can continue to be consistent, and their good performances continue.

Today there will be a match between Atetico Madrid vs Cadiz, no doubt the host is a big favorite in this match. On the other hand, Cdiz is also not a strong club. Another hour of the match will take place soon.

 Xavi managed to do a very great job in Barcelona, do not forget that he managed to keep many players in the team despite the fact that the team had big financial problems. In the first round, Barcelona beat Antwerp without any problems, the second round will be more difficult, they will have to play away against Porto, I think even a draw in this match will be enough for Barcelona to retain first place in the group, this will probably be the most difficult away match for them. I don't think there will be many goals in this match.

Although against Porto seems to be a difficult match for Barcelona because Barcelona will play away, but it seems that I am personally still quite optimistic that maybe Barcelona will still win even if only with a thin score. But indeed, even if for example the match ends with a draw, of course Barcelona still remains at the top of the standings. So yes, basically Barcelona still has a good chance in this group phase, because after all Barcelona has a good chance to be able to win group H.
They will be aiming for the best result to ease their way out of this group stage, they will definitely not want to drop points in this match.
Their chances of winning this match are also greater than Porto even though they will act as guests.
Xavi must have prepared the best strategy they have, and not only that they must also have studied the game of this opponent and looked for gaps to be utilized there. Most likely they will be able to bring home points, even if they can't win, at least they will bring home 1 point.



Though Manchester City has lost their last two games, I think they're still one of the best clubs at the moment and one of the favourite teams to win the UEFA Champions League competition this season.
Pep Guardiola as we all know, knows how to manage his team and bring out the best from his squad. Rodri's absence in their last two matches has been a very big issue for the club but with the return of the Spanish player, the club is surely gonna bounce back to winning ways.
we cannot compare Man City performance in domestic league matches with UCL matches because Guardiola as a coach will manage his players very wisely, maintain the quality of his players performance and always perform perfectly in the UCL and even though they lose in the EPL, it does not mean that Man City will also be bad in the UCL match later but just look this season Man City is still the EPL title holder and also Man City will compete until the final round of the UCL.

I dont make any guarantees, but lets see how Guardiola as a coach can be trusted to bring Man City to another UCL title even though the competition is a little more difficult seeing as Real Madrid has started to rise again.
It is still not showing any type of promise or hope for their future neither. I get that "resting" could be one of the reasons where you rest some good players, but City is a much much better team than Wolves at any time of the day. They should have won that game and they are far superior to drop points like this on a game like that. If that is an indication then there is a possibility that they could lose points on this game as well but on all likeliness they are going to end up getting a win.

We just need to remember, majority of the people said they would get three points from Wolves too but they failed, so we are expecting them to get three points here as well and yet they could end up failing to do that too, so be ready about it.
They were just unlucky in that match so they had to suffer defeat from a club that they could actually beat. If we look at the match statistics, then we will see a very far difference from Manchester City and Wollves . Wolves barely had any chances at all and they only had 1 clear chance that they could convert into a goal. While Mnchester City get a lot of chances, but somehow they are blunt in this match.
I don't think this will affect their mentality and affect their play in the Champions League.

It was also happening to me before. I have been playing plinko and i got the same glitch as you said and you shall not feel worry as your balance was safe and what you need to do is refreshing your browser and your balance will be back to the normal again.
Your stake balance is actually safe and your money is not gone. Just refresh it and you can play it again without any problems. The plinko sometimes was glitching.

It is true that it is just a display glitch. I experienced this many times and refreshing the page is the way to fix it. In my cases, it usually happened when I open Stake and I do not start betting and keep the browser open for several minutes. After that I started to play and the amount in my balance seems to be not moving as what it should be, some time balance looks like stuck but after refreshing the page, the amount is changed (can be bigger or lower) depending on the result of my bets. Other display glitch is that sometime my balance is increased earlier because of a winning bet while the bet/game is not yet finished (mostly in slot, plinko and keno).

I agree with you that this is really just a display problem, seeing from your experience story it seems that almost all gamblers experience the same thing and so do I. If we leave the website display for a long time it is true that on average it happens like an error on the display that we are open and especially the balance in my account.

It is possible that some of us could be surprised when we start to see this kind of incident for the first time, but this really doesn't matter guys, you just need to refresh your browser as you said, and with that all the features and display of the balance in your account will be restored as it should be, if for myself honestly I often experience things like this when playing slot machines.

Man United is having too many problems under Ten Hag this season, and the pressure on him is getting bigger and bigger. They are in crisis after losing consecutively in important tournaments. Coach Erik Ten Hag is at risk of being fired if he cannot improve the team's situation. He has no excuses for Man United's worst start in the Premier League. The home crowd booed Old Trafford throughout the match, suffering a bitter 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Maguire doesn't start, who will be the scapegoat for Man United fans, coach Erik Ten?
Naturally, Manchester United fans booed at Old Trafford, because Manchester United were unable to score a goal back in that match even though Manchester United was superior in terms of possession of the ball. This is not only embarrassing for Manchester United, but also painful for the fans who were there because the fans hope that Manchester United can win at home when facing Crystal Palace. However, that didn't happen and the fans even had to swallow the bitter pill when they saw their proud team lose at home.

I honestly don't know what exactly happened to Manchester United, which is certain this season they are worse than last season. Now the performance and appearance of Ten Hag's squad is far from consistent, defeats still dominate them on the standings in the few matches they have passed since the beginning of the season. Obviously it is very reasonable, the facts that happened were very far from the expectations of their supporters, let alone Manchester United playing at home but having to experience defeat from a squad that I think is not too strong and ordinary, this is very embarrassing even until the last minute of added time they still have difficulty creating opportunities to produce goals.

The rest of course there must be a very deep disappointment from their supporters due to the results of this completely unexpected match, honestly I also did not expect that until the end of the match Manchester United really could not get a goal back at all even to equalize even though it seemed very difficult. With an embarrassing result like this I hope Ten Hag has to do something to fix it, the prestige of the team is very important.

Trading is most times profitable and sometimes challenging to traders
I agree with what you said but i will make a point on the first part of what you said. In fact 95-99% of all traders loose money. A extremely small % of traders make money. So it would instead be: Trading is usually not profitable and always challenging.
Its a 0 sum game out there and most of the people joining in have no idea what they are doing. Its as bad a sgambling if not worse.
This is for sure, but most traders are only concerned about how to be profitable and don't bother to know the reason why 95% of traders lose their money, and that's your duty to learn if you are looking forward to profiting from trading. Trading is like a game and only the people who understand the game profit.

That's right, it's not uncommon for me to see some of them or even most of them who just came just bring the reason for "profit", I understand you come because you are inspired by some traders who have succeeded in this field, but do you only see their success? honestly not only that my friend, you can't if you only see in one condition, just like you come to get a lot of profit that means you also have to be able to question and understand what is there apart from big profits, and that is loss. I hope they are not too selfish by only thinking about how to make a profit, but you also have to think about the losses, because every time there is a big profit there is an even bigger risk behind it, so you have to really consider everything before it's too late and suffer a lot of losses.

The fact is true in trading I admit there is indeed a big profit opportunity there, but it's just an opportunity and it's still not certain you can get it, if you only come only for profit without thinking about how to avoid the risk then obviously not the profit you get but instead the loss continues to dominate. So in my opinion it is better to change your mindset correctly, it is not easy to be successful in trading like others you have previously seen, keep learning and be consistent.

Economic and financial conditions are of course increasingly difficult to predict, many types of investments going bankrupt means we cannot depend on one or two types of investments, continuing to look for business and investment opportunities is important for our finances to continue to improve.

Of course it is something that is difficult to predict, you cannot guess what will happen to yourself or your family in the future, it is very possible that something will happen in the future and you will not know, the point is you will need money urgently. Therefore, starting from now we must make some preparations to minimize something unexpected that happens in the future, one of which is starting from now you can get used to saving or allocating a little money from your remaining needs for investment wherever you believe.

It is true that not a few now experience bankruptcy in investment, but I will not blame the platfoarm or the company that provides the investment opportunity, I say it's because they just can't make the best planning for their own investment. So the point is that you should be able to find many opportunities to be able to make your finances better, if you don't have good skills in terms of investment then you can look for other opportunities such as business, but well it will go back to yourself about what field you are more skilled in.

Obviously gambling games are generall structured to favor rich. As you said when you spend more on gambling you get extras like vip options and that's not even the end. For example its much better experience if you can afford to lose more money. As poor person you can hit 10x through regular betting but if money you spent is low you get like ([low]x10) which is not very high...  But rich people would gamble with ten thousands of dollars and one lucky jackpot can be my 24 month salary. So I agree that its better to focus on fun most of the time.

Rich people can have greater casino benefits but also they have higher amount to lose so I don’t consider this as favor but rather a complimentary to their casino contribution. You can have same gambling experience to the rich people even if your bankroll is low as long as you enjoy playing the game since that’s what important instead of the amount of money being risk.

Even poor can still have money that can afford to lose. It’s not that huge compared to reach but anyone can gamble using money that they can afford to lose since we can just use proportional amount base on our total bankroll.

Yes of course, so actually even if they want to follow the methods of the rich by adding a large budget to gambling it will not always be completely useful, losing is still losing no matter what way you do it, it is not an excuse and cannot be used as a reference material at all. Rich people come with big capital and if they are lucky then their winnings must also be large, on the other hand if they lose then of course their losses must also be higher. So I hope that you, especially those who have finances or finances below average, it is better for you to gamble in moderation, meaning that you can gamble but still have to be on a small budget and of course you can be responsible for whatever the final result is. Don't follow the rich, because maybe your perception and theirs are different about the size of the money.

So it's better for you to spend only a few percent, such as 3% - 5% of your total salary income, never put any expectations from gambling if you don't want to end up in a slump and of course you must have good control and limits, it's also for your own good.

It was a thrilling encounter in the top four table clash, Harry Kane has now bagged his eight goals in six Bundesliga games as his side battled to get a point, the home side could have won the game when Sesko raced clear But goalkeeper Sven came out to make a last challenge to make sure the points were shared it was a brilliant performance from both teams
Bayern might be losing if there would be no penalty being awared to him. Harrykane has been always become the main executor for the penalty awared to his club. Bayern was not even playing a good football.
Leipzig is strong right now. I think that leverkusen would be also struggling when they will face liepzig like munchen. Leipzig has been losing some players but it seemed to me if the club is not even declining. It's even climbing up even higher with very consistent performance.
Bayern was making so many its fans feel shocked after the club was losing two goals in the first half. So many people were picking bayern/leipzig instead of draw. Their bets were collapse/failed.

That's exactly the fact, if there were no penalty opportunities for Bayern Munich then obviously until the last minute of the match they would lose to Leipzig. The first half of Leipzig was superior, they secured two goals there with a temporary score of 2 - 0. Honestly, worries really happened, especially for Bayern Munich fans in the first half, these two teams are indeed in good form this season, initially my prediction was that Bayern Munich would be superior to Leipzig, but in fact my prediction missed. As we discussed above that if there is no penalty opportunity then Bayern Muchen is sure to lose.

The match ended in a draw, their point difference is now thin, only one point but Tuchel's squad is still above Leipzig. Initially I thought Bayern Munich would be able to perform significantly there because after all they must be able to win with full points in order to equalize their number of points with Leverkusen, but well honestly this is unexpected. Their performance last night was not very satisfactory and in addition Bayern Munich had to deal with a strong squad.  Yes that's right, even though Leipzig have lost some players but that has absolutely no effect on their performance, they are still strong and certainly cannot be underestimated. So the point is Leipzig can really be a big threat to Bayern Munich and also of course for Leverkusen in the title race.
