It is still very early, but this year will be a quieter match fixture for Juventus compared to other years. They will not play in European matches because they are banned from Europe. That's why Juventus will play fewer matches and concentrate better on the league than other tired teams. Their biggest advantage for the championship this year will be these comfortable fixtures.
As I said before, it's a distinct advantage for them to have a more relaxed schedule compared to other clubs in Serie A, especially those competing at the top, because if we talk about it as a whole of course other clubs also have fewer matches, especially clubs that are in the middle or at the bottom of the table.
Juventus have had a tough time of it for a football club, sanctions are something that can bring them down mentally and they did last season. The coaching staff must be able to ensure that their players can maintain their mentality well.

These are just alternatives to divert your emotions so you will not be totally in stuck with trading. However, I believe if you want to control or avoid having too much emotions when trading, set a boundary or a limitation to your emotions. You can’t be too happy or too aggressive when trading, that will lost your focus from your goal. If you can separate and avoid having high emotions when trading, that would create a more positive outcome from your trades.

This includes controlling emotions, by controlling emotions all strategies will work well and as desired. Everyone has different levels of emotions of course and when trading these emotions will influence how the trade ends up. Those who panic too much and prioritize emotions will not be patient and make several mistakes such as selling at a loss and not seeing how much they are losing at that time. It takes a lot of practice to be able to control emotions so they don't interfere with trading and this is not easy to do.

Yes that's true and indeed only calmness will be able to bring maximum results, but that does not mean it always leads you to profit because still the market is difficult to predict and with that at any time you can experience losses, but I mean at least with calmness you will not experience too big a loss. Yes that's clear, indeed everyone has their own personal traits, especially in terms of emotions, some of them are easily provoked by emotions and there are also some who are easy to return to normal. And obviously it will greatly interfere with them when trading, especially for those who have difficulty calming their emotions, will often lose control and may be one of the common causes they will experience more losses than they should. And also as you say emotions can make people far from calm, they will have difficulty making decisions between buy or cell in certain market conditions, and if they force to keep entering then surely usually will end up with losses because of wrong decisions.

But well, this kind of incident has happened a lot and it is true that we must be more active in learning again, especially in controlling mentally and psychologically in order to always be calm when looking for daily or monthly targets from trading.

But you also have to be careful because Leverkusen is in their best form at the moment, so I think it won't be easy for Bayern to win.
This is a match between 2 top Bundesliga teams and both of them are also in their best form, and it is true that if we look at Bayern's chances of winning it is much greater but the match will definitely be quite fierce.
I think it's better to bet on goal overs when the top 2 Bundesliga teams are meeting because there will most likely be a lot of goals scored.
yeah, its quite difficult to determine who will win this match because both teams are having a very strong performance at the moment and betting on the underdog is really worrying because there are 2 possibilities between Bayern Munich winning or drawing and what I am worried about is just a surprise happening when we speculate if it will lots of goals were scored and at the end of the match there were only 3 total scores scored or even less than 3 because everyone knew that both teams were in good form.

in this match there are still a lot of doubts in terms bettors who want to place their money to bet on which one has the smallest risk and I seem to have the opinion that if both team score it would be better to secure a smaller risk because from looking at Leverkusen and Munich both of them will definitely both maintain their score and both want to score more, so choosing to bet on both team scoring will more comfortable.

That's right, I honestly can't predict who will end up with full points. From the last few matches since the start of the season these two teams are very strong and in terms of points now they are equal, although Bayern Munich is below Leverkusen but there is absolutely no difference in the number of their points, and these two teams do have a 100% record in the Bundesliga this season. Xabi Alonso's side have been outstanding especially in attack where they have scored a total of 11 goals in just three games. And I won't forget Bayern Munich's sharp attack after Harry Kane arrival. So basically it's very difficult to predict the outcome of this match because both are on top, so maybe I won't bet on either team, as you said it's not easy to bet here and there will be a lot of doubts, so I'll just look at this match that will definitely be very intense between the two clubs that are in top form. Let's see tomorrow who is stronger.
3264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: September 15, 2023, 10:19:56 AM
Is there really such a thing as recovering from a gambling addiction and still playing? I don't think so. What I think is that he gained experience by playing multiple times and he came up with some of the tricks and ideas on how he will be able to win. But the addiction will be still. If we're talking about recovering from gambling, there's no reason for a gambling addict to continue playing.
Gambling will be addictive but experienced individuals can usually control themselves and do not become addicted. Even if they lose the game, they are able to recover and do not spoil everything with winning strategies. Apart from the opportunity to enjoy the entertainment on offer when it comes to betting, online betting offers a realistic gambling experience. But for addicts gambling can be even more dangerous than addiction. It reduces your ability to control your mind so that you are not in a position to make mistakes and judge properly.

Well of course because that's the only disease that exists in gambling which is addiction, I think everyone especially gamblers also know that this addiction has taken them too far. But yes there is a point, those who are professionals may be able to avoid that addiction, I'm not saying that professionals have never been addicted at all but I'm sure initially they must have experienced that addiction but over time they can reduce the level of addiction by trying to make peace with themselves, and after that they gamble maybe only a few times a week or a month, I mean it will be very rare and if they gamble they will definitely emphasize self-control because almost all the conditions that are there they have experienced it.

But I don't think that's entirely true, and as for losing they will always experience it even though they have good control, gambling is difficult to predict and we won't know when we will win or lose again. Yes, it is very dangerous and in my opinion those who are addicted to it mean that they are already at a very concerning point, so instead of getting a win but instead are busy with always losing, I understand you don't want to experience that, but I hope you can be more assertive to control yourself, it is better for you to prevent than cure. 
3265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 15, 2023, 09:53:16 AM
There is no other reason than having to accept the nature of gamblers like that and it arises naturally when a gambler loses or wins and almost gamblers have experienced this problem and when they win they show it off in various media, it won't be a problem as long as it doesn't bother other people.
Unless it really very serious, for example a gambler is rude to another gambler when he loses and you need to think again about not liking that and yes I admit I don't like that kind of behavior either but I am just trying to understand their situation.
There's numerous behaviors in the system which I disliked. Gambling is dangerous, everyone knows that and the individuals gambling are not infants, the know what they're getting themselves into before signing up for gambling. Transferring aggression to another gambler, out of the picture because he's definitely not the cause of your problem or losses, instead we should attempt to explore more options that would bring out the best results the system got to offered. Furthermore, if we try wagering more than three times and we keep having the same results, we should quit and wait for another opportunity next day.

it is dangerous because there are many reasons why gambling can injure someone's emotions or mentality. We are in a virtual world and gambling is done online, it is indeed simpler and easier to gamble, but when gambling is not healthy enough and causes a lot of losses, people who lose will become more stressed and become too addicted.  they have to know what the risks are in gambling, they have to read the ToS first before gambling and there is no protest about losses that occur. Having 3 wins and stopping would be good advice to avoid losing, but will the system give you that winning streak? That would be unpredictable luck.

Yes it is and indeed these days online-based gambling seems to have become commonplace and more and more people are getting into it, maybe because it is very easy to reach so they have no obstacles to doing it. As in my country now online gambling offenders are increasing and more and more crime cases are occurring, none other than that because of the impact of gambling. As you said this activity can really disturb someone mentally and psychologically and because of that it is very possible that they end up doing something out of control such as stealing or any crime. Obviously it is very dangerous indeed. Well that's very true my friend, it should be like that, on average they come only know about winning but don't ask at all about what risks are there.

Yes I quite agree, as we know there must be a lot of defeats first if we want to get a victory, and if we already get it it's better to stop, don't continue because it's very likely you will lose again there, and it will be in vain. But if you can't stop then you have to emphasize stronger self-control, you must be able to withstand the temptations that come, because yes, gambling is just for fun. There is absolutely no winning streak, it's just their assumptions that are excessive.
3266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: September 15, 2023, 09:12:36 AM
It's normal that most people think that casinos are a place to make money because they have seen many people who can make money from gambling. But they don't see how much money people have used to make from gambling and only see how much money they can make. If they could really find out clearly, maybe they would think twice about not making money from gambling and look elsewhere.

Yes, I agree with you, and indeed I think so too. it is not uncommon or even now there are many most people (gamblers) who come with the intention of seeking or making money from gambling, it is a little absurd. To look for a win or two yes maybe it can but if they come to make consistently then it's beyond me and it's impossible. Yes agree they simply don't see how much money other people are spending gambling and that's probably just in defense of a few wins, and obviously not at all balanced with what they've lost out there. I think they really need to wake up if they really want to know that this place is not for money but just for fun. You really have to see how people have fallen into poverty and debt because of that wrong mindset.

Beginner gamblers may have more luck than other gamblers, which may attract them to want to gamble again at the next opportunity. But I don't think casinos will change their algorithms just to tempt novice gamblers into wanting to gamble again. The winnings they get can tempt them to return to gambling and there is no need to change the algorithm. Only people who have strong self-control will not be tempted to gamble again. And if they want to gamble again, they will do it just for fun and not to make money.

Yes, it is usually like that, those newbies who just came must be given the victory first, nothing but that just to tempt them or as a lure so that tomorrow they will come back. But yes in my opinion it goes back to the person, if the person is one of the ignorant and ordinary people maybe they only consider the victory as mere luck and there is no excess sensation that they feel after getting the victory. So I think it goes back to each of them personally, but those who are interested and those who are ordinary I think will be more tempted to come back again and experience the cycle of gambling to cover previous losses. And yes, self-control is the most important thing to have for anyone, especially newcomers, because that's the only thing that will help you, nothing more and that's all.
3267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 14, 2023, 05:52:12 PM
La Liga will restart after the break with the match between Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo Alaves. Both teams collected 6 points in the first 4 matches. Rayo Vallecano started the league well with two wins, but then when they lost by conceding 7 goals while playing at home with Atletico Madrid, the entire balance of the team was disrupted. They lost to Real Betis the following week. Rayo Vallecano must win this match to regain morale. They should get their first win while playing at home. Betting sites give odds of 1.70 and above for Rayo Vallecano's win. You can maximize your profits by playing from the place that offers the best odds. I think this would be a very good bet with a fair amount of risk.
I think their meeting is a meeting that does not have much difference, and Rayo Vallecano looks better than Alaves in my opinion, yes that's apart from their crushing defeat against Atletico Madrid who had to feel conceded 7 times in one match. But I think that will make them change, yes surely they will make a big evaluation of why they can lose with such heavy goals.
Rayo will play at home and that will be an advantage for them because they will get full support from their supporters who come to the stadium, and they must take advantage of it to win.

Yes, this is inseparable from the sanctions they received last season, overall they actually performed quite well. These sanctions still continue to this day, because they are not allowed to appear in various competitions in Europe. But as you said, let's forget that, let last season be a lesson for them.
This season they performed well with 2 wins and one draw. I think their game is improving and that is a good thing for them in the future. Even though they still have a lot to improve, as time goes by, if they become more confident in themselves, I think they will find their true self again like before.
Under Allegri direction, Juventus is attempting to get past the nightmare of the previous season. Even more so now that the points deduction has been eliminated their recent results appear promising. The team should be vying for the Scudetto and belongs among the Champions League contenders. Although their performance was affected by internal problems the previous season this new season started off optimistic. However, the absence of notable transfers raises questions about their dedication to development. But it is still early, and in football unexpected things frequently happen.
There is a distinct advantage to not having European fixtures, as this gives them more time to rest unlike other clubs who will have more hectic schedules and of course that affects the fatigue of the players which may also have an impact on their performances. Juventus must see this as their advantage this season, so they can be more motivated to win the Scudetto again this season. And I think they have a good chance of realizing that. But it's still too early, I want to see what their improvement in the future will be like.
3269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: September 14, 2023, 05:21:33 PM
That's mostly because Neymar is not a stable player and he has unstable performance usually. Also, he was injured for months in PSG and this definitely affected this palyer we can't expect more from Neymar. Also if you are comparing Neymar with other players like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Brazil, you are wrong because players were not alone in their team, they had other superstar players to help them and that's how they achieved many titles. In the other hand, Brazil is not the first power in football anymore.

Why can't we compare Neymar with Ronaldo or Ronaldinho? I don't think that the situation has changed a lot over the years. Even now, Brazil is a well balanced team and they are not overdependent on Neymar. They have high quality players like Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus, Raphael Veiga and Vinícius Júnior. And I would say that they are still among the top-3 teams in the world (although I don't know whether they are no.1). We can say that gap between Brazil and other teams have narrowed, but even now they are one of the best teams in the world. Given this, the fact that they have performed poorly in the FIFA World Cup for two consecutive terms is baffling.
Speaking of players in Brazil, they're never short of players who have excellent individual skills, and one of them is the player you mentioned above. As for Neymar, he is unstable because he is a player who is prone to injuries and that is one of the obstacles he often faces. It's not just one or two times he's been sidelined due to injury in a season and whether he likes it or not it affects his performance. And I think he's quite lucky because with his repeated injuries it doesn't significantly reduce his performance, it's just that he can't develop better in his golden years.

There are many players who eventually have to sink because of their injuries, and only a few of them can survive.

What they (Brazil) have experienced in recent years has indeed seen a significant decline, at the same time other countries have managed to develop quickly, even countries from the Asian continent can now compete with the big European countries. And one recent example of this was when Germany suffered a crushing defeat to Japan. It proves that now a lot has changed, countries that were previously considered weak are now starting to show that they can also improve.
3270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 14, 2023, 05:06:16 PM


This is what I don't like with the Saudi Professional League. There are 4 very strong teams and then 14 very weak teams. That means that the vast majority of the matches will be one-sided. Only the matches between the top-4 teams are going to be close. Obviously there are teams that are not sponsored by the Saudi Arabian    Public Investment Fund, such as Al-Ettifaq who can compete with the smaller teams, but that is not the case with the vast majority. I believe that this is the biggest negative of the Saudi Professional League as of now.

It's not as bad as you think, man. You can check the current standings, what kind of team is in third position, whether the team in third position also a big team with many star players in the squad? In fact not at all, because anyway in third place right now is Al Taawon which is basically Al Taawon is a mediocre team when compared to the big teams you mean. But the truth is, Al Taawon has so far managed to come through without a loss and in fact, Al Taawon has also beaten Al Nassr in the previous few matches.

In addition, in this moment also there is an ongoing match between Al Akhdoud against Al Ittihad but in fact, Al Akhdoud is also able to provide good resistance in this match. Because anyway, the match has running until the 70th minute but the score is still 0-0, despite the fact that Al Ittihad played Benzema, Kante and several other star players. So with that said, the Saudi Pro League is not as bad as you might think, as there is still good competition in this league too.
Well right, it's not what we think, maybe some of us think with the current situation, SPL is like Ligue 1 which is only dominated by Psg because the strength of the Psg team is far above its competitors, yes it happens because of their very strong financial factors. But the fact is that SPL does not work that way, Al Nassr alone as the pioneer of recruiting European players they lost in the first 2 matches, it proves that they have players with a luxurious squad, in fact they are not that terrible. And even before this movement, there were only a few clubs that looked so strong like Al Hilal for example.

Newcaslte's presence in the Champions League this season is not a coincidence, but they do deserve a place in the Champions League. And their presence in this group is one of the big threats to other clubs who are more experienced in the Champions League. I won't be surprised if they get through the group stage, even if they win the group. Their performances are improving day by day, it is a factor that they are indeed one of the clubs that will make it difficult when dealing with other clubs that have bigger names here. And honestly, I'd like to see them go further in the Champions League.

We have a new favorite coming from the Premier League.
I don't think Newcastle will be a big threat to some of Europe's top teams in the Champions League group stages considering we never know whether Newcastle has a good mentality. It is true that Newcastle's good performance last season in the Premier League was an important factor in getting them to the group stage, but their performance at the start of this season was not very good.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have yet to prove anything whether they deserve to be considered the new favorites in the Champions League, but of course all the teams that will play against them will be wary of Newcastle. PSG, Dortmund and Milan are probably still the best compared to Newcastle, so I wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle failed either.
In terms of mentality, it is still questionable, because they are new challengers in this competition, but make no mistake when they start in the Champions League they will definitely prove themselves that they deserve to be here and do not want to be a club that just passes by in the group phase and then they are eliminated easily. There's actually an advantage to being in a tight group like this, I mean when they make it through to the next round, their mentality will also improve because they're able to get rid of clubs that are more experienced than them.

It's a job for them to be able to prove that they're a strong team now that they're financially well off. Don't let any club underestimate this team..,

After the first 4 rounds in Ligue 1, Lyon only had 1 draw and lost 3 matches, temporarily ranked bottom of the table. Although he is considered a legend of French football, having led Les Bleus and achieved much success in Ligue 1, coach Laurent Blanc could not stay in Lyon even though the season had just begun. Lyon's management lost patience and fired him.
Many reports say that Fabio Grosso will be the new coach of Lyon. The agreements have been completed, Lyon is only waiting for the paperwork to be completed.
The beginning of the season is indeed one of the times that takes a lot of victims of coaches who have to be fired. The reason is quite basic, when they perform poorly in at least the first 5 matches or even fewer than 5 matches. If we look at the standings, Lyon is the club that has created the fewest goals with only 3 goals they can create, and they are also one of the 2 clubs that have conceded the most up to this week with 10 goals conceded, the same number experienced by Lens. Even if the management is not patient enough, it's only natural because I don't see any improvement in the game.


Lens is a club that has also not been able to achieve positive results so far, this is a result that is very contrary to what they could record last season. If this continues, then I am worried about their performance in the Champions League, just imagine a club that will play in the biggest competition in Europe is in a situation like we see today. This is a doubt in itself, especially since clubs from Ligue 1 find it difficult to compete in that competition.

Group F is the toughest group in this year's Champions League. Every team has a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds.
This season's UCL League presents its own surprises for us. PSG, Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle United are considered worthy of being included in the "Tough Group". It is indeed very difficult to predict who will qualify for the last 16 considering the current condition of each team. PSG, Dortmund and AC Milan are both consistent in their respective domestic leagues even though their starts are a little bad. Meanwhile, Newcastle is not in a good mood and has fallen to fourteenth place in the Premier League standings. It will be interesting to see who can make it through this tough group.

On paper, AC Milan and PSG are indeed favorites in this hellish group, but in football, player material is no guarantee of victory, as long as they can focus and be consistent, I guarantee they can get through this difficult time. prediction group.
Newcastle might win this group unexpectedly. They didnt win the Premier League by accident last year. PSG and Milan are normally the best teams, but they make mistakes, especially early on. Newcastle's UCL entry against all odds may benefit them. A bit surprising? It makes me giggle when they beat favorites! Dortmund has plenty of experience, but their Bundesliga success is uncertain. Milan and Newcastle's first match could be a strong test. Football's "beautiful game," right?

I have no complaints about Real Madrid's defense and midfield. Real Madrid's defense is quite stable. And I would say Madrid's midfield is the best midfield in La Liga. Real Madrid's midfield has experienced and talented players like Toni Kroos, Bellingham, Luka Modrich and Tchouameni. However, I would say that Madrid's attack is quite weak. There are no experienced players in the attack. Vini and Rodrygo are still young. How Joselu will play with Madrid is yet to be determined. It is difficult to dominate the Champions League and La Liga with such an attack.
No doubt with Real Madrid have solid and best composition in midfielder but still get weakness with attacking line position actually after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ittihad, Joselu still not impressive well in La Liga although he has quit well performance with Spain national teams in last EURO Qualifier matches. In midfielder, Carlo Ancelotti have many option not only impressive performance with Jude Bellingham but also experience player like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos still in the top performance. If can signing Mbappe in next season, not doubt with Real Madrid are completed squad because dominance by young and experienced player can motivate for young keep on the top performance, in La Liga Real Madrid still manage top standing position after winning 4 of 4 matches.
Before the league kicked off, we had already speculated that Real Madrid's need was their attacking line which had yet to find a reliable player there, the arrival of Joselu was also not a solution to the void in the attacking line after they really played without K Benzema there.
I think it's undeniable that they have a solid midfield, experienced players and young players collaborate well in that area to create a balanced game. They just need a striker who can not only score goals, but a player who can open up space there.

A very interesting weekend match to watch when the two teams meet again is Manchester City against West Ham. Previously, in the first match last season, West Ham lost without being able to score a goal 2-0 against Manchester City. And now is the time for West Ham to show their defensive prowess against Manchester City and avenge their defeat in the previous match, or even later the two teams will draw with a score of 1-1.
So far West Ham are doing well, they haven't had a defeat. They have 10 points, that's much better than Man United. But injury problems make it very difficult for West Ham to win. West Ham right-back Vladimir Coufal is reportedly with a minor injury, currently he is still with the Czech Republic to recover. He is one of the best right-backs and has been a regular appearance, no other player has had the same ability as him.
Apart from that, West Ham also has good goal productivity by being able to score 9 goals so far. We cannot deny that Manchester City is a strong candidate to win this match, but with what West Ham can show so far, it gives hope that they will be able to make things difficult for Manchester City.
I see West Ham will take advantage of counter attacks and play deeper. We know that Manchester City has good possession of the ball, that is the basic reason why I say West Ham's strategy will focus more on defense and rely on fast counter attacks.

I'm really curious about Juventus' performance throughout the season. It is a really important season to determine Allegri's future probably as well. Because the previous season was like a nightmare to them and they need to make progress like finishing the season in top four at least. This isn't a thing that is too difficult to achieve for them on paper.

If it weren't for that points deduction previously they were already going to finish ahead of Milan. Now their look in the games is even better so hopefully they can maintain a good form this season. A team like Juventus deserve to be a part of the Champions League now.
Their rightful place is at the top and they are the top team in Serie A who deserve to compete closely for the Scudetto. What happened last season was an internal problem that had an impact on the team's performance.
Let's forget last season and Juventus started this season quite well, but personally I am a little pessimistic after seeing their performance and there are no new recruits in the transfer market, this team doesn't seem serious about developing the team to be even better this season.
But again, it's still early in the season and anything is possible.
Yes, this is inseparable from the sanctions they received last season, overall they actually performed quite well. These sanctions still continue to this day, because they are not allowed to appear in various competitions in Europe. But as you said, let's forget that, let last season be a lesson for them.

Dortmund fans was and will always large and very loyal to the team even they are playing not so good.
This will be not changing , for sure they are frustrated when they dont win and making good games.
But i guess that Dortmund will be playing in the next Weeks better and better.

Even though their opponents are not playing well, I don't think Dortmund will be able to perform much better in their upcoming match against Freiburg. If the club continues to sell great players without replacing them with anyone who is better, their performance will eventually get worse throughout the season, and Dortmund fans will become upset with the club.

Well that makes a little sense, even though their opponents include a team that is said to be less good and less shining but it could be a threat to Dortmund when we see how the sales habits of the players there. Honestly I can't fully predict how the final result will be, I think well Dortmund have a higher chance of winning but on the other hand they must also be a little difficult to play without maximum performance because some of their important players have left.

I think this problem can not only bother them in the next match against Freiburg, but also in the next match until the season ends, we see Bayern Munich are far above them in the current position and I think this is enough to prove how Dortmund's performance has declined this season, the top position of the standings that they occupied last season has now been replaced by Leverkusen, who can always perform optimally to get full points. So it is true that indirectly this business habit has caused problems in the trophy hunt, I think Dortmund must immediately reduce this habit because they have been absent from the Bundesliga title for quite a long time since the last in 2012. This can be a consideration for them to be able to return to appear consistent until the season ends.

The contract extension was agreed for the next 3 years and Bernando Silva still has a big chance of saving the title again for the next season with Manchester City without any worries about him losing the achievements he has achieved so far with Manchester City.
Hopefully in the future there will be no loans made with Barcelona because that will only worsen his image as a great player with a high nominal salary.
Bernando Silva role is not much different from Kevin De Bruyne, so it was not surprising when he received the news that his contract had been extended. Manchester City will definitely not let Bernando Silva go away despite his hugely influential contribution. Even if Barcelona has to make offer after offer, I'm sure it won't be able to reach another agreement. Manchester City's decision is the right one and I agree with this.

Bernardo Silva was the top target of Barca and PSG in the summer of 2023, but in the end, he decided to extend his contract with Man City. Barcelona's financial difficulties made the transfer impossible. If Silva continues to win titles with Man City this season, the possibility of him coming to Camp Nou in the summer of 2024 is exceptionally high. Because I see that Silva has wanted to join Barcelona for a long time, the reason he wants to leave Man City is difficult to understand when he is flourishing with the team.

Well true, Barcelona looks more serious in the hunt for Bernardo Silva than PSG in my opinion, but well as we know their finances are very weak, and also I heard Barcelona will sell some of its players to increase their finances as well as maybe one of the goals so that they can meet the clause set by Manchester City for the release of Bernardo Silva, but well I'm sure it's just a rumor because after all Guardiola will not sell players who greatly contribute to all the victories of his squad, including the many trophies that have been won by this squad so that it is named the defending Premier League champion. Especially now that Silva has managed to extend his new contract there, it is very unlikely that he will leave unless Barcelona patiently waits for him while collecting a lot of money on standby if Guardiola changes his mind later.

Well I also understand Silva really wants to play with Barcelona, but what can be made for now Barcelona itself does not have the ability to make a deal for this player. But yes you have a point too, it is possible that when Silva's contract expires he will decide to go to Barcelona to look for new challenges, because he has achieved almost everything with Manchester City, and it is also very possible that he will leave as a free agent if Barcelona's finances are still not recovering when his contract expires.

Many people have prepared a budget for gambling, and that way, they can avoid losing a lot because they don't exceed their limits. But even so, some gamblers cannot resist the temptation and end up using more money to gamble. The reason is that they still want to gamble or want to recover their losses. That reason is quite simple, but it will only make them experience more losses, so they need to realize what it means to have had enough gambling for the day. If they could stop gambling, they wouldn't go so far as to lose a lot of money because it's not worth it. And if you can still stay within the limits, you are still luckier than those who don't gamble according to the limits.

Only by practicing regularly can we really control our gambling. With this practice, we can hope to change our gambling rhythm so that we don't lose as much. Apart from that, we always try to hold on to a certain amount of money and not spend it all at once in one day.

We all know that. Not only in gambling but in simple living having a budget. It's very difficult and challenging to follow a simlpe budget for a week. Wat more when you have it on your gambling while being on the edge of your emotions getting hyped up. Recognizing that gambling should be a form of entertainment rather than a way to generate income is key. Those who can stay within their limits and view gambling as a recreational activity are indeed in a better position than those who don't. It's important for individuals to prioritize their financial well-being and not let the desire for quick gains cloud their judgment.

Well it's true that budget restrictions for excessive things will always be an effective way, this is true not only in gambling but in real life it is also the same because surely one day we will also be in a position of urgent need for money, so budget restrictions are also very necessary, it is better to save it or save it to minimize your future needs that come unexpectedly. Well this is the same as gambling, so if you limit the money for gambling then it will also be very useful to reduce the amount of your loss if indeed the final result is not what you expected. Reducing your budget is easier than quitting, but by doing this budget limitation might make you slowly quit, it's possible.

Now I agree, gambling is nothing more than an act of fun and I think all gamblers especially newcomers should realize this, and it is also clear that whoever it is and whatever reasons they bring it will never be enough to support that they can make money there, especially with consistent results it is clearly impossible. And yes the key is just that as you said their mindset must be correct, just come for fun then I'm sure they won't be tempted by whatever is there, such a mindset indirectly and unconsciously already makes them avoid addiction. I think that's a good way,
by changing your mindset to be more rational in seeing gambling which is only about luck.

Dealing with addiction is more like just a person who has made up his or her mind to go to the rehab for proper transformation. Before one makes up his or her mind going there one must have to be morally fit to overcome the self satisfaction derived from what they are addicted to. Same is applicable to gamblers. Before you decide to do away with your gambling addiction, you must be morally fit and ready to play along while undergoing the process to transform from being an addicted or chronic gambler. Self discipline matters too because this is what will tell if you are really going to be impacted positively to yourself or not.  
Yes just like saying if one of your legs leads you astray you have to cut it off,  same with addictions, to be able to come out of it you have to caught off a lot of things and stay away from them all,  this must be an attitude goh have to abide with,  battling gambling addictions os one of the hardest war to win and it takes a lot of time and energy to be able to you'll out of it ultimately.

Yes, it makes a little sense, in fact, if someone wants to quit with a note that they are really serious then they must be willing to do anything to get out of the addiction. It can't be denied that sometimes there are some who say that they want to quit but it's just words and not with any action, I heard that saying from those who just lost and the next day it turned out that they were still gambling again and with a stronger intention to restore the defeat of the last day. And yes, there must be actions that are really based on strong intentions if you really want to stop, don't just say it, I understand that temptation must always come to your mind and well that's what you should be able to avoid. You have to be able to think more clearly in that condition, maybe you think you can win but I think in gambling everyone should not overdo it and I would say "it is better to prevent than to cure" it's a good statement than you are getting worse because of too much ambition. But yeah it's quite difficult, but nothing is impossible and I'm sure you can do it if you really mean it.

Sometimes,  you need the help of other good wishes to be able to win the war,  but with persistent and focus it may take time but surely you will record positive results.

Well that's right, it's actually very difficult to quit addiction if we only rely on the desire to quit, not only that, like you said and that means you also have to be able to find other activities that can make you stay away from gambling or forget about it. Like for example looking for other activities that are more positive, like for example adding a part-time job, don't let you have free time because I'm sure in that position you will definitely remember gambling and surely the temptation will come to continue to encourage you to gamble. So yes, the point is that this is a good alternative to choose but you must be able to consistently do it.
