Napoli is favored by the bookie to win the match. I think this is a good thing for me because I will gain a lot by betting on Madrid. I'm sure Madrid will win the match. Even though they have just experienced defeat in the League, this is not a problem because Madrid has a good record against teams from Italy. I sorted the results of these matches in the order that Madrid wins, or draws, or Napoli wins.
This season is the third time Real Madrid and Napoli have met in the Champions League, because the last time they met was in 2017 in the Champions League Final Stage, at which time Real Madrid was able to emerge victorious. But this time, I think it will be very different because these two teams have very different strengths compared to five years ago, so the level of excitement in the match will probably be presented again at Diego Armando Maradona, namely Napoli's home ground.
Just like the last time met in a champions league game it was really an epic game as neither team had it really easy although it was a final game which I usually characterized with such but then Madrid had to play well enough to become the champions as Napoli at that point was wanting to take to any chance to be the champions in that game untill Madrid sealed their victory.

Definitely a lot has changed since it's been five years they last met in a champions league game. Their strength, style of play and probably their tactics aswell must have experienced some level of changes as it's obvious in the results both team has produced in most recent times in their league games and also in the champions league aswell.

It's really going to be a difficult game to predict but then Madrid have got a challenge to resolve else it may appear a problem to them in their champions league game against Napoli and that has to do with getting a good striker to do the finishing for them and get them goals, Napoli aswell have to resolve the issues with osimehe before it turns out issues enough to affect the team but then Madrid stands to be my favourite and I hope they win.

Bayern Munich bundesliga race continues away at RB Liezpig this weekend; and a competent win away from home would mean Bayern Munich are passing a signal, a message to other rivals that the league is theirs for another season. Do you have any predicitions ?
If you ask about predictions about who will win the match between RB Liezpig vs Bayern Munich in the near future, I will still choose Bayern Munich as the winner even though the match takes place at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig. Even though it will not be easy for Bayern Munich to win there in the near future, I think RB Liezpig will also find it difficult to withstand the onslaught and attacks from Bayern Munich who are currently having their best performance in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich has been at their best this season with a series of a back to back winning streaks,they are also standing so tall amongst others in the German bundesliga this season, this is no new as they have always shown to be the best most recently and even last season, they have really been exceptionally brilliant this season both in their league game and at the UCL

Leipzig is not such a weak team aswell, going by the records in their last five games, they have won all five and they stand unbeaten at home and just before they will meet Bayern Munich they will first be meeting with Wehen which happens to be very weak when compared to Leipzig and may definitely loose the game which will in a way lift Leipzig morale to Stand Munich.

It's going to be a tough match for both sides as they both have good records and almost matching strength, going by their records they are both unbeaten at their home especially with the bundesliga league games, Bayer will be hosted by Leipzig and Leipzig having a record at home will want to defend the record but then a strong push will come from Bayern of which a draw is possible or at most 2 goals difference.

That really looks like an understatement, even though the ball is very difficult to guess but we can see some of Napoli's previous matches. the defeat against Lazio, being held to a draw by Genoa, could be a benchmark that Napoli has lost its ferocity this season, it is possible that Udinese will be able to get full points even though that is impossible when playing at Napoli's home ground, at least Udinese is well aware that they are in the Relegation Zone, of course they will do anything to hold a draw or win the match.

Napoli lost something and being the defending champion is not an easy thing as the defending champion, of course the clubs will knock Napoli down so they don't dominate the league like last year, that's what happened this season, in the Italian League.
I don't see udinese getting a full point from this game, it almost technically not possible as udinese are not strong enough, they don't have the best of performance since this season and they have hardly won a game so even if they would want to I don't think it's with Napoli who happen to be one of the strongest in the league I mean amongst first 5 teams

Lazio who defeated Napoli recently is better than udinese, so I don't see the comparison matching up because if it were to be a weaker team who Napoli lost against the we could say there's a possibility it could be repeated against udinase but then they don't match up, if we must even take a careful look at the game, Lazio had to struggle to win they didn't find it so easy wining that game so it couldn't be said Napoli was weak.

Napoli is the defending champions as last season they were at their best and did deserved the title so I'm not expecting any less of them, the worse they could do will be a draw, I'm very sure udinese would really put up a strong resistance against Napoli because they will want to get some points to gradually bring them to the safe zone but I don't think it will be possible with this match as Napoli will want to make up for the most recent draw and loss the just got.

Chelsea's mistake in recruiting young players who don't have enough experience seems to really affect the performance of the Chelsea club and I think Chelsea chose young players because they thought the young players still had strong energy but in fact it actually made their performance worse and the young players couldn't perform. solid with other teammates, so it is difficult for Chelsea to build up the club's performance, in fact Chelsea is increasingly experiencing a decline.

Mauricio Pochettino as coach has not been able to do his best to improve the team's performance and it seems that Mauricio Pochettino is having difficulty managing his subordinates so they can recover from the downturn experienced by Chelsea.
Usually recruiting young players is because it's believed they have the strength and capacity to run and play a complete game without getting tired most times, and they usually are less prone to injuries and fatigue as they are still very strong, they also have good sprint advantage aswell as they usually have a decline in sprint as they age, as seen with most old players.

Experience is aswell very important as it will be needed for decision making and other need actions on the pitch but sadly it's most Common with young players as they mostly lack experience with league games as it's usually their first time playing for the league and probably working with their coaches and I think this is the case of Chelsea as the boys are mostly young and new to the team.

It will take them really sometime to get used to the coaches tactics and with the new leagues they are been introduced to as some of them may not have played in the premier league before, the old player who have been in the team before the arrival of the new ones will aswell have some challenges getting along with the new players and their play styles.

Galatasaray won 1-0 against Istanbulspor today and took the lead with a game to spare.We can say that they played a good game and it is worth underlining that their opponent is not a very difficult opponent.Galatasaray won with Icardi's goal and extended their winning streak to 5 games.Tomorrow, Adana Demirspor and Beşiktaş will meet.This match is of great importance for both teams and I can say that it is a match that will actually affect the league.If Adana Demirspor wins here, Beşiktaş fans may be very angry.I think a draw will not be a sufficient result for both sides.
Galatasaray did brilliantly well today I must say as they won the game but then I expected more from them, the winning margin was just too small I expected they would have taken advantage of the fact that instanbulspor weren't at their best and get a resounding victory over them  in this game but then a win still stands as a win regardless of how many goals.

Instanbulspor did get to have the best of it's team to play today due to certain factors which will take too long to discuss now but they they still showed some form of strength to Galatasaray making them not have a just easy game, they had to earn their win although they had most of the statistics to themselves but then istanbulspor did not relent in showing their ability.

Besiktas is most likely to win the game as they will see it as important the more because it's going to help them get some points to go up the table if only they could win the game.  Besiktas will be playing from away which may be a slight disadvantage to them but then it's most possible the game ends in a draw because of the importance attached to the game by both team.

It was a difficult game for Barca but it is better that both teams share points. This is not a good one for Barca because if Verona win their match tomorrow,  they will be  on top of the table again. Mallorca never wanted Barca to win them in their home, instead they prefer a draw. Barca tried all their best to make sure that they win the match but they were not prepared enough. I can still say that Barca underestimated Mallorca, while Mallorca took their time and prepared for this game so that they don't lose all three points. Barca needs to be consistent with their performance if they  really want to win this season Laliga title.
It was such that at some point I had to take a second look to be sure it was Barcelona playing against Mallorca because why would Barcelona of all teams find it difficult such that they were two goals down from the first half of the game. I even had to think Barcelona was going to make a come back like the did recently in their last game but sadly they couldn't maybe because they weren't Planning at home.

Mallorca scoring two goals and making Barcelona struggle to equalize was such a huge surprise and I must say could be seen as an achievement for Mallorca because it could be possible with other smaller team and seen as normal but with Barcelona who has recently been top it wouldn't sound normal that's why it's worthy of been seen as an achievement the got today.

Barcelona was lucky to go home with a point but sadly failing to get the complete 3 points is definitely going to affect their position as if Madrid should win tomorrow they will cause Barcelona to drop down the table as they will be leading, for Mallorca it was a good one as they are now one point ahead they didn't have to loose everything. This will be a wake-up call for Barcelona to keep improving and not rest thinking they are too good.

 I still don’t see any improvement in Manchester United's performance. After playing against Bayern Munich in their last Champions League match, they have played one Premier League match, which was against Burnley, a very weak club, but Manchester struggled to score one goal in the match, which is very bad. Manchester United shouldn’t be struggling to win a club like Burnley.
Burnley is a very weak team as compared to other team in the premier league and wouldn't be able to put up with Manchester united on a very normal day but it's really sad how Manchester united had to struggle to get a goal against them, although Manchester united don't seem to be in their best of form this season as they have really started on a poor note but it's not enough to struggle with Burnley.

At some point it seemed Manchester united players were even confused as to what to play on the the pitch as it was seen they had poor communication amongst them playing but winning the game was the utmost of which was achieved but then if they had gone against a stronger team with such approach they will definitely not win.

Erik ten hag obviously still has a lot to don his team as they are yet to be at their best enough to give the desired results required of them, their play against Bayern Munich was not very impressive but understandable as Bayern is not any weak in any form and requires a very brilliant and sound tactics and style of play to get a win from them of which Manchester united is not in such a form at the moment.

Since gambling is basically a game of luck added with calculated risk you can really tell if it's a mistake but you can basically say the odds didn't move in your favour and then it will look like a mistake but then you can say it was in all totality, although there are times greed will not let us see a win as big enough so we would want some more and end up getting our fingers burnt.

Although there are times you may want to pick a certain option especially on sport bet and you mistakenly pick the oder or may mistaken the real interpretation to what a particular pick may mean for another, these could be considered mistakes but as luck may have it sometimes you may be lucky to have that mistaken option favour you and turns out a winner.

It's most often than. None that greed happens to be the only factor that prevents us from winning just like it was stated in your story, if we follow gambling especially sport betting for fun and attach little to no emotions to itt we tend to place better stakes and win more often because then our picks are minimized and it's done for the fun of it not to aim at winning big figures which now makes greed set in.

Lille vs Reims

Both teams seem to have very similar to almost same results in the last five game, both lost two, won two and drew one, could this be a possible reason to say they may both have matching strength?? Well Lille hasn't conceded any goal at home since this season. They most likely have a clean sheet at home and today they still happen to be at home and also the favourite for the match.

Remis just suffered a loss in their last game and I don't know how well it may have affected them and if it will have possible effect on their game today. Well I can't really say what the out come of this game will really look like so I would say let the best side win but I will pick Lille as my favourite for the game today hoping they eventually win and if they do it will be their third since their last game.

I think it's not really going an easy game for either side but they tis information isn't 100% true till the game commerce and we get to see their strengths on the field of play later today. But lille still stands a better chance and may most likely win, a 2-1 win in favour of lille is my prediction although I still keep an open mind to the results as it will later paly out.

Sevilla seem to be finding it really easy with Almeria in the on going game. From the eight minutes Sevilla already had a goal and by the end of the first half they were already three goals ahead, going by statistics Sevilla is really dominating by possession and other statistics, they have 53% ball possession and 15 goal attempts, they have their fourth goal already within the 50th minute of the game.

Almeria is really not expecting a comeback as they can't get that, they have never won a single match and here is another match to add to their loosing streaks, it's going to be the second game Sevilla is getting a win from since the beginning of the league. They also have the home advantage for today's game and aswell happens to be the favorite for the game.

Sevilla should enjoy this victory they are getting today as they may not enjoy such again anytime soon, facing other bigger teams after now will definitely not avail them this privilege again. I jus hope Almeria doesn't end up crashing out into relegation by the end of the season going by the fact that they don't have a good enough results to keep them in the league currently.

Do you want Chelsea's nightmare to be worse than what they're going through right now? They are literally unfit for the Champions League, and their league performance is not even encouraging. It will be difficult for them to cope with playing in the most competitive league with the biggest teams. Chelsea is not fit to compete in the Champions League and should not be considered for the game in the first place.
Definitely Chelsea is in no way fit to be in the champions league at this time, going by the recent happening around them they would definitely make a mess of their selves if there were at the ucl, most likely they would have found it difficult to win any game at all, loosing streaks would be their experience most of the times as they don't have the capacity at the moment.

The UCL is a very competitive league filled with bigger teams who in one way or the other happens to be champions in their various leagues , it would have been indeed a nightmare for Chelsea as they could have been affected psychologically after series of loss and their performance in EPl would even turn worse because it will be really heavy on them that they are loosing back to back.

So for Chelsea at this point such a competitive league is not what is needed for them as it may not have a very positive impact on them, they should focus on the league where they find their self now and hope to get better by improving on every aspects of their game and tactics. I anticipate seeing Chelsea turning out better as time goes on in the premier league.

Who says Bayern Munich won't win the league again this season even without the signing of Harry Kane? They're just too good for the other clubs, when I saw Bayern Munich losing the title but didn't was when Leipzig was promoted to the Bundesliga, Leipzig was on fire. They were the only club who was this close to getting that title off Bayern that season, I mean they did well back then for a club coming from the relegation to give the champions a tough time for the title, but it went wrong for them and up till now I don't see any club getting close to getting that title. So Bayern has made the league too easy for them to be lifting the title every season. To me I'd say Leverkusen are still not going to last in this threat for the title, give them time and they'll fall off.
Bayern Munich is obviously very good and in the best of their form this season no doubts and so far they have performed excellently well, they are more like the pace setters in the league as at now as they are up there on the league table and are as well doing good even in the champions league games, they have become very formidable both in the bundesliga and champions league.

But then there have been cases of teams doing so well at the beginning of the season and at some points they make mistakes that usually cost them league title, an example was as seen with arsenal last season. In essence I'm saying we shouldn't forget there are other teams in the league such as Leverkusen who are also thriving aswell with the intentions of getting to the top aswell.

Any mistake by Munich could possibly ruin all they have done so far as the league title is aswell been contended for by others. Leverkusen aswell is now a formidable force in the german bundesliga and I'm very optimistic they can take on Munich in their current capacity, even if they happen to loose they will definitely make a strong resistance to Munich and Munich is definitely not going to find it easy.

So at this moment, at least the attitude of maturity and professionalism should be applied because if not, then the dispute between them will become more difficult to overcome. Moreover, Manchester United position at this moment is also bad and also, Manchester United will face a more difficult competition than last season. Therefore, Erik ten Hag should be more assertive and do not need to lower his ego, because as a coach, he must have a firm and disciplined attitude to build the team even better. Because after all, the coach has authority in the team, so it would be inappropriate if Erik ten Hag lowered his ego, because it would make him weak. But indeed, basically Manchester United has started the season not well, so it will indeed be difficult to recover quickly.
Erik ten hag's ego is and has never been the problem. He is the head coach and as such he need show some level of authority so as to get the team in oder and do that which he wants them to do as the success of the team is mainly rested on his shoulders and decision he makes. If the players will not heed to his instructions and directions as the head coach what ever happens is still blamed on him regardless.

The players seem to have some level of rifts amongst them which will definitely affect their performance on the long run. It's time they drop all those and act professionally for the success of the team as the continual exercising of such will continually affect their productivity, this is most obvious amongst the defenders as they show no chemistry amongst themselves at some point.

Ten hag need to take more stringent measure as they have even more tougher teams ahead to tackle and needs more of their collective efforts to be able to succeed, but if he tolerate any form of continues show of incompetency amongst player he should be sure of not doing so well this season, moreover he is not a bad coach considering his performance so far with the club.
3234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: September 26, 2023, 03:06:27 PM
The difficulty of quitting is only on your mind. If all you think is about gambling and nothing more, it will really be hard to quit. If you focus on some other thing and take a long break from gambling, this will be an easy thing to do. A habit can be easily changed if you really want to. It's all on the person if he really pursues quitting or really wants to continue.
In as much as quitting depends so much on the person taking a decision to stop first , if we must be very honest it's not easy to quit gambling especially for someone who has a good knowledge about sports and have access to internet and a smart phone or device with little money enough to spare, then the person is just a click away from gambling.

Sometimes it will have to take therapy, or further extra help to get rid of the habit as it usually becomes inherent once cultivated, quiting becomes difficult, but with a strong will and probably seeking for help it's possible to quit. As seen with other habits such as smoking and drinking it's usually not easy even with all the decisions it's possible the person could go back at some point especially when they don't find a good replacement for the habit.

Triggers should be avoided when trying to stop a habit, triggers when not avoided it could make quitting difficult, an example of triggers could be keeping company that encourages that habit, availability of resources used to fund the habit it becomes very difficult to stop or quit the habit over time but when the resources are in shirt supply or not available at all, it could fast track the quiting of such habit

If Real Madrid is unable to beat Girona then of course it will be another surprise in Laliga. Girona themselves will certainly do their best to maintain their positive trend. But I think it will end up in Real Madrid's hands.
I don't think Real Madrid will give a chance to Girona in their next game. Considering they just suffered a loss which have a good effect on their records, Real Madrid will not be willing to allow Girona win as this game appears to be crucial to them more, girona may try to give Madrid a hard time but I doubt if Madrid will allow their resistance stop them.

Real Madrid will be meeting las Palmas before their meeting with girona, this game is one which we can be sure Madrid will win as Las Palmas will be hosted by Madrid. Madrid would not lose to Palmas not at home, and Palmas is not strong enough. I hope Madrid will use this opportunity to make up for their loss they just had over the weekend.

This will be the Saving grace for girona as they will be hosting Madrid and Madrid would have already use la Palmas to make up for their loss, it's really going to be a tough game for both side but their is definitely going to be a winner I don't see a draw in that game as neither team is will to lose that game to the other. I just hope Madrid fix their Frontline issues before then els they will be at the disadvantage.

MANCHESTER UNITED AND CHELSEA FC, which is better or which will have a better season?

We all saw and understood how last season was among the worst season of Chelsea Football Club in the recent time. After the change of management and successive change of coaches, they were unable to end above the top 10 in last season's English Premier League. For the fact that they bought many new talents, we expected them to perform better this season but to my surprise Chelsea is still struggling to play good football.
In the other hand, Manchester United my club did very well under their coach Eric who was new then. Everyone expected that they will consolidate their performance this season,  but this season is trying to be a different story for them.

Between Manchester United and Chelsea, who do you think will have a better season?
According to my point of view regarding what Chelsea is currently experiencing, the problem lies not with the players, but with the strategy used by the coach. When a chef is equipped with enough food ingredients to prepare delicious food, but you cannot produce delicious food, don't blame the ingredients but the chef's credibility and ability need to be questioned.
Pochettino cannot be maintained for too long, he has failed to coach Chelsea. The dismissal must be carried out immediately to save Chelsea from falling deeper.

Ten Hag needs time to put together the pieces that have been scattered in the Manchester United squad, Manchester United's performance has declined due to the injuries of many of their core players. In the question season with Manchester United, he was able to improve the team's performance significantly which resulted in MU qualifying for the UCL after a long wait. Ten Hag is going through difficult times with Manchester United, he must be given the opportunity because he has proven capable of handling Manchester United in the first season of his career in the EPL.

In my opinion, Manchester United is better than Chelsea, Manchester United still has the opportunity to recover in the near future, while Chelsea will find it very difficult to recover from their illness as long as Pochettino is still trusted as a tactician.
It's very obvious and clear that Manchester united is better than Chelsea and that would be a straight answer to that question. If we are to lay this two teams side by side from last season up on till now, starting from the various challenges faced by both team and how well they have performed amidst these challenges it will be fair to say Manchester united is better.

Later part of last season both team suffered some form of set backs, for Manchester united it was mostly injuries and players been involved in one scandal or the other but no withstanding they were still able to win the caraboa cup and also made it to the champions league, so far in the premier league and champions league aswell they have been having a fluctuating performance.

Chelsea has been in the worse shape you can think of as they find it really difficult to win games, in the premier league they are really not finding it easy at all as they are struggling with every game they play, sadly the issues they are having can not really be traced to the coach, player or the management of the team it's just a whole lot and it will take so much time to fix but in the case of Manchester united a change in their tactics and giving them little time to adjust will most likely fix them.

Yeah, if the desire to quit is stronger inside no matter what the person will push it to happen, not easy as if it is that easy maybe we will see fewer people who will be engage and be addicted, most might quit before addiction take place but once you engage yourself and you already entertain the pleasure, most of the time you got out of control with your decision making.

Being responsible is something that needs to work out before stepping yourself into this activity. If you know by yourself that you
are not that good at controlling your emotion it's best not to take this route and find other things to entertain yourself.
Yes I will agree with you on every point made on this your comment, the act of responsible gambling has so much with first taking that conscious step to want to gamble responsibly coupled with a strong will to abide by your guidelines with which you will want to follow to guide you onto responsible gambling as anything outside this may cause you to still be the same regular gambler.

If you have a strong desire to stop then it's the very first step and most important step before to take, the desire to stop or reduce to responsible gambling must be stronger than the desire to want to always stake a bet or gamble. This works better for people who have strong self control as they can easily stop and decide not to continue with the act.

It's even more difficult when you have relatively good intervals of wins, you may want to continue because you will feel you have mastered the act enough not to loose or get addicted and may probably turn it into another source of income, the pleasure that comes with it been an alternative source of income can gradually get you engrossed and addicted gradually.so one should be conscious and particular about wanting to stop or be controlled.

To the best of my knowledge gambling is 50% luck and 50% your calculations or let me say smartness, in gambling you take what I call calculated risk so as to make the games in your favour, you don't just say it's all about luck and then place bets at random and expect to be a winner by virtue of luck. Especially for games like football that has statistics you could use that as your edge.

The luck in gambling come as a result of your careful selection with respect to possible history (statistics) of how that game has turned out in the past, this applies mostly to games such as football, basketball etc meanwhile card games are basically mind game and if you happen to have played with a certain player before you could understand his attitude and predict his moves.

In as much as lucky has a great role to play in gambling you have to be logical about your picks a d moves as the case may be. But this is not a guarantee you will be lucky enough to win so it's not and cannot be dependable or relied upon as a source of income, any money put into gambling should be considered gone but if you are fortunate it turns in your favor Your money comes back to you in bigger fold

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

When one gets to win in gambling or at the casino they tend to feel they are very good at it and that has earned them that win so they may want to start to stake higher or play more because they now have a level of confidence that they can win again having won before and if they don't they keep trying and sometimes become reckless with it even unto addiction unknown to them.

Like you rightly said someone who has never won is less prone as compared to someone who has won and had that feel to win a game would most likely continue in a bid to get more because they feel they will definitely win more but someone who hasn't won will most likely opt out quickly as soon as they notice they are loosing much already with nothing to show for it yet.

It's mostly advices to take a break after a loosing streak so as to avoid gambling recklessly as a result of frustrations most probably arising from the losses, regardless of how much you have won or how good you are with the casino a break will help you curb further losses and you come back better and probably make some good recovery of that which you have lost. It's very possible become addicted after a win more than when you haven't won a dime.

Bayern Leverkusen has continued to stay unbeaten this season after a 4-1 victory against Heidenheim in their last game. Bayern Leverkusen has shown a very good level of brilliance almost enough to want to match up Bayern Munich since the start of the season. They win their games with good goal margin and aswell haven't lost any game at home that's a very good start which can keep hopes high enough for a good season.

Heidenheim just new and recently promoted could have in no way been able to contend with Bayern Leverkusen for a win, they even tried enough to secure a goal in the second half, considering they are away I can say it was a fair loss for them because they had a better and stronger team against them but they could try and be better at other game so as to avoid been relegated.

It was an easy game I must say for Bayern Leverkusen, as statistics showed they had the most of possession, shots on target and everything, they obviously dominated the game from the first half to the second, the got their first goal in the first half and the rest goals were scored in the second half of the game, the away team tried to fight but the home team sealed their Victory with the last two goals.
