I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?
In my opinion, every gambler always wants to make a profit in their gambling activities. Because this is the basic trigger why people want to gamble. Because if, for example, gambling does not have the potential to make money, then it is certain that not many people will enter the realm of gambling.
But even though we seek profits in gambling, we definitely still get pleasure. Whether it's from feelings or when hanging out with friends at a gambling place (offline). But what is clear is that gambling is fun. So here I will draw the conclusion that gambling can be as fun as it is now, namely because there is the potential to make a profit. So my answer is related to your question, mine is not.

Because if for example we gamble without any desire or intention to make money, then what do we want in gambling? because basically gamblers can have fun because they make a profit. So, for example, if you gamble without the intention or desire to make a profit, in my opinion gambling will be very empty. Because you don't have a clear goal. Even if, for example, you intend to gamble just for fun, I don't think it will satisfy or please you. You can try, and prove it.

However long that period is, I don't think Girona can make anything else happen this season. Because this season Real Madrid has a lot of stong in terms of points than Girona, and other top teams. But it must be admitted that Girona has been able to fully build themselves in a very short period of time. If Girona can see Real Madrid fall in a few matches, this might be a chance. But in my opinion, Girona needs a lot more tactics to face Real Madrid. Hopefully, Girona can achieve that from this season.
We admits most of these elite teams have faded away interms of stellar performance in games, they find it hard to adapt to the nee competitive style of game. Winning becomes a priority for the top clubs because they have a big posting and ultimate targets they're fighting really hard for. La Liga title comes between two competitive clubs, they're Real Madrid and Girona. Hoping for both clubs to reach major phase but it's definitely not the same because a whole lot happened. Girona are consider newbies compare to the tough team they face in higher positions for the La Liga title this season.
I also agree that this season it looks like Girona's chances of reaching the top ranking and becoming La Liga champions are very small. But even so, I don't think this will be a big problem for Girona. Because they can compete with big clubs in Laliga, the Girona players are certainly very happy. Apart from that, there is still something else that Girona can pursue, namely tickets to enter the Champions League (UEFA). Therefore, even though this season, Girona, for example, has not been able to win La Liga, their opportunity to take part in the biggest event for clubs in Europe, namely the Champions League (UEFA), is very big. So in my opinion, currently Girona does not have a heavy burden to carry. Because basically the players' job to be able to compete with the top clubs in the LaLiga, I think it is a very extraordinary thing. Because in the first division of La Liga, Girona is still a new kid.

For this reason, in essence, Girona players must be complacent.
Because if you look at Girona's abilities, it is now clear that Girona is unable to compete with Real Madrid. Therefore, perhaps if not for a miracle, Girona would have found it very difficult to get rid of Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings this season. But even so, Girona still has hopes of being able to overtake Real Madrid. So I also pray that the players from Girona can remain consistent in maintaining their best performance.

Liverpool will host Brentford tomorrow. The opponent is not very strong, but they are just above the relegation zone. It will be difficult for Liverpool to get points against them, but they should at least try their luck.
Arsenal will travel to Burnley. Both teams will play matches where their opponents are not strong but they will need to take points if they want to stay in the league. I expect Arsenal and Liverpool to win the matches no matter what.
In the last match of the day, City will host Chelsea at home. Everyone will be waiting for the score of this match. It is also an important match for the course of the league. City are favorites against their opponent but may be tired of Europe. Chelsea may get a surprise draw.
Well you are saying it's hard well I say that's an easy win for them because Liverpool are chasing the league title and wouldn't want to drop any points in their race so every game that would results to an easy win, I think they will actually take very seriously and that's because they know Manchester city are also red hot in their playing performance as their player's are now back and in good shape too.

Let's not forget that the English Premier League is one of the best and the most difficult league to predict as no team is regarded as a small team regardless of the position or the performance of the team in the league, Liverpool may be chasing the league title and they will make sure they win most of their matches since they want to remain as league leaders in the table but they shouldn't I underestimate their opponents even though they have a better chance of winning the game, once they are able to put up a good performance and utilise their chances to school goals they are the favourites to win the game.
In the world of football, the English League is currently the best compared to other football leagues. So I totally agree with your opinion on this. Apart from that, I also agree that the results of clubs competing in the Premier League are also difficult to predict. However, in the matches that Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal will play, the context is very different. Why is it different? That's all because I judge the three clubs based on the current performance of the three clubs. Indeed, basically it is possible that the three top clubs could be defeated by their opponents (Chelsea, Brentford and Burnley). However, the possibility is still very small. Because currently I also judge all of this from the performance of these three clubs which has not been good recently. So by carrying out this assessment, I am very confident that it is very likely that Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal will definitely be able to beat their opponents.

Because even though Chelsea, Brentford and Burnley will definitely try their best to win the match. But don't forget, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal will also be increasingly determined to be able to compete in the top 3 of the Premier League. So victory is a mandatory result for Manchester City, Liverpool and also Arsenal.

So in essence, this match is definitely very important for the six teams. Because on the one hand there are those who are competing for the championship title (English League). And the other side is indeed struggling to avoid the relegation zone. Therefore, these six teams will definitely fight to the maximum. But even so, it remains the case that the team's performance can be clearly compared. So if we talk about predictions, I think many people have predicted that the match will be won by Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Inter have a home game against Salernitana before facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Technically there are three days between these games and the Atletico Madrid game is also going to be played at Giuseppe Meazza. But maybe Simone Inzaghi might still want to rotate the squad a little.

Because they already have a huge advantage in the standings - a seven-point gap with one game missing. Inzaghi can comfortably prefer not to risk and tire his best players before an important game. Even in this situation I wouldn't expect Inter to lose points against Salernitana.  Smiley
Inter Milan's recent defeats have taken them off course after they fought so brilliantly in prior matches. Warming up my techniques so that I am able to prevail against favorable odds. Inter Milan's next match will be against Sportiva Salernitana. Simeone Inzaghi is the major figure driving the Nerazzurri's success this season; simply looking at them, you wouldn't notice, yet big works produce spectacular results. Inter Milan will not take any chances of defeat because they are all looking for the best results in Seria A and UEFA Champions League.
Inter Milan won the match against Salernitana with a landslide score of 4-0. In my opinion, this is very natural considering that currently Inter Milan is above the clouds in terms of the performance of its players. Meanwhile, Salernitana is the opposite of Inter Milan, namely its performance is at a very deep level. Because from the standings alone we can see that Inter is in first place and Salernitana is at the bottom. For this reason, it is very natural for Inter Milan to be able to slaughter Salernitana with a landslide score. In fact, I think the score of 4-0 is not the maximum score that Inter Milan players can score. But because Inter Milan coach Inzaghi divided his players' focus on the Champions League competition, the result was that Inter Milan did not show their full performance against Salernitana. But with only modest performance, Inter was able to bombard Salernitana very well.

So with the match against Salernitana over, Inter Milan now only needs to focus on competing in the Champions League to face Atletico Madrid. Maybe the Inter Milan match against Atletico Madrid will be a very interesting match to watch. I personally predict that Inter Milan will definitely be able to beat Atletico Madrid in the upcoming match. Because I saw that the last two matches that Atletico Madrid played ended in defeat. And what was surprising, Atletico Madrid lost to clubs ranked below them. So with this, it is clear that Atletico Madrid is currently not performing well. So Inter Milan will definitely not waste this opportunity and will give its full strength to face Atletico Madrid.

What happened to Al-Ahli. I favor them in the match against Al-AKhdoud. but they apparently experienced quite a dramatic defeat because one Al-Ahli player even had to receive a red card at the end of the match. After the break it felt like each team's performance was very different. And maybe every match will be more difficult to predict.

Today and tomorrow I hope some matches can go according to what I predicted. Namely, I will favorite Al-Nassr and Al-hilal. Al-Nassr will face Al-Fateh. and Al-hilal will face Al-Raed. It should be an easy match for Al-nassr and Al-hilal. And betting on both I don't think will disappoint.
In fact, in this match Al Ahli controlled the game better than Al Okhdood. However, the weakness is that Al Ahli players are not good at maximizing existing opportunities. Because, from the first minute until the second half whistle sounded, Al Ahli never stopped creating very good opportunities. However, unfortunately none of these opportunities resulted in additional goals for Al Ahli. In fact, the two goals scored by Al Ahli were all caused by fatal mistakes made by player Al Okhdood. The reason is that the first goal achieved by Al Ahli was caused by a cross given by Al Ahli's winger that hit the body of an Al Ahli player, making it difficult for goalkeeper Al Okhdood to block because the direction of the ball changed. And the second goal achieved by Al Ahli was a penalty kick. So basically in this match Al Ahli had a dull attack line and a less than slick defense line (especially the right side). I see that Al Ahli's central midfielder is still very good. Because it was proven that in this match the flow of attacks launched by Al Ahli was very good.

Meanwhile, Al Okhdood played quite well in this match even though they were often attacked by Al Ahli players. So when Al Okhdood players launched a counterattack, it was always done carefully and directed towards Al Ahli's defense area. And the result was that 3 goals were created from the feet of the Al Okhdood players and as a result Al Okhdood managed to bring home the full 3 points.

And for the match that will be played by Al Hilal and Al Nasr, I will not hesitate to choose these two clubs. Because it is true, the opponents that Al Hilal and Al Nasr will face will not be too difficult. So I would also hold Al Hilal and Al Nasr very optimistically.

Real Madrid and Girona are the two most productive teams in La Liga so far and both have scored 52 goals in 24 matches. If you look at these statistics, it's only natural that these two teams are very worthy of competing for the title this season and even though Real Madrid is now 5 points ahead of Girona, of course the competition is not over as long as the competition is still going on. I see that all players from all positions on these two teams are equally contributing fully and if one of their strikers experiences a decline in goals then players from other positions can still score goals for the team's victory.

But it is clear that Real Madrid this season is completely dependent on the goals scored by Jude Bellingham and even the young English player is the top scorer so far with 16 goals. Meanwhile, Girona is much more evenly matched with all their players and almost no one stands out except their striker, Dovbyk, who is ranked number 2 top scorer so far. It's very exciting to see the competition between these two teams and I think everything has changed very quickly from the Real Madrid vs Barcelona competition to the Real Madrid vs Girona competition this season.
It is not surprising that Madrid is now at the top of the La Liga standings. The reason is that Madrid has players who are very capable of scoring lots of goals. Tap Apart from Madrid, the most surprising team is Girona, who have always performed very well this season. The reason is that at the start of this season, Girona was already at the top of the Laliga standings, even if only for a moment. And this can be said to be something that Girona is very proud of. The reason is that Girona is a team that has just entered the Laliga first division. So if Girona is able to occupy the top position in the Laliga standings, that would really be extraordinary.

So it could be that at the end of this year's season, Girona will be Real Madrid's strongest rival. Even though is that in the match between Real Madrid and Girona, the result was that Real Madrid was superior and was able to beat Girona. However, because Girona is the second strongest team in La Liga this season, Madrid's strongest rival is definitely Girona. Because if we talk about Real Madrid's true rival, namely Barcelona, ​​I don't think this season Barcelona will be able to compete with Real Madrid. So my prediction is that Barcelona might only finish in 2nd or 4th position.

And I didn't expect the number of goals between Real Madrid and Girona to be the same.

Indeed, quite a few of those who lost their bets in this match may not have seen that Bologna this season appeared very impressive, even strong teams such as Inter, Juventus, Milan, Napoli, Roma, Lazio and Atalanta were held to a draw and some of them were who wins. And this victory against Fiorentina could be said to be a revenge match after Bologna lost the Copa Italia against Fiorentina.

 ~Snip.
This season, clubs from Serie A always provide very surprising surprises. The reason is that several times strong clubs have always been held to a draw or suffered defeat when facing clubs that were considered weak. A big example is Juventus who were defeated by Udinese. So for now Bologna managed to embarrass Fiorentina yesterday. So if you look at these facts, in my opinion you could say that only Inter Milan is the most consistent in Serie A at the moment. The reason is, a team as strong as Juventus could lose to a team that is currently ranked 15th in Serie A. Thus, it can be concluded that Juventus is not good at maintaining consistent performance. Therefore, it is natural that this season many gamblers experience losses when placing bets on big Serie A clubs. Because often big clubs in Serie A always experience defeats from weak teams.

Then the results of Bologna's match against Fiorentina could be said to be quite surprising too. The reason is that Bologna managed to beat Fiorentina. Because if we look at the H2H records of the two teams, Fiorentina is actually the superior one.
So with these results, I am very sure that in this match there will be a lot of gamblers who lose. Because usually Fiorentina always wins when they only face clubs whose players' performance is less than superior. However, currently this cannot be used as a guide, because currently Serie A clubs always present surprises.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan is currently in a fairly safe position at the top of the standings. This is because its rival, Juventus, is far behind in terms of points. So for now, Inter Milan can definitely be calmer when competing with any club in Serie A. That way, it can be predicted that Inter Milan is the strongest candidate to win Serie A this season.

For the two seasons now Chelsea's game has been an unpredictable one, Chelsea are very unstable that sometimes they play very impressive and after sometime their performance becomes so bad for a longtime. Before now early in the season Chelsea's performance was very impressive that I thought it wll be a performance that will last for a while but after a shot time they couldn't continue with their impressive performance. I'm not sure if Chelsea can be so consistent with good performance this season because from the way they are playing their is no motivation for them to go after more points.
I think this season Chelsea's hopes of achieving a higher ranking in the Premier League (1-5) are very slim. The reason is that in the middle of this season Chelsea did not appear impressive. So for now Pochettino's team must be able to stay in the ranking they currently occupy. The reason is, Chelsea's situation is currently in a suspended situation. The point is that reaching the top ranking will definitely be difficult, therefore Chelsea's current struggle is only to avoid the relegation zone from the first division.

To be honest, I also don't understand why Chelsea is currently performing poorly. The reason is, as you said, that not only this season, Chelsea has experienced a decline in performance. However, last season Chelsea also experienced poor performance. The reason is, last season Chelsea only managed to finish in 12th place in the Premier League. So, if this season Chelsea does not improve its bad performance, it is very likely that this season Chelsea will end like last season.

But if I look at the current situation of Chelsea's players, the point is there must be a big rotation in various lines. Because from what I see, the current Chelsea players really need to be replaced a lot. Because if the current players are still retained, I don't think Chelsea will experience any further development in the future.

Chelsea playing with Manchester City in the next match, I think it won't be easy for Chelsea because Manchester City is known to be a club that can easily win teams that are not performing well. From the performance of Chelsea I doubt if they will be able to resist the strength of Manchester City thst is looking for more points to be ahead of Liverpool and arsenal.
If you look at Chelsea's current situation, it is clear that Manchester City will easily win the match. Because we can see the benchmark when Chelsea faced Liverpool some time ago. In that match, Chelsea was defeated by Liverpool with a score of 4-1. So this week Chelsea will face Manchester City, I think the result will not be much different from when Chelsea played Liverpool. Because, considering that currently the performance of Manchester City and Liverpool is almost equal.

I think so too, only a few managers are willing to accept an offer from Barcelona management. It is easier for Barcelona to look for young managers, Who need experience and are ready to take any risks, most top managers demand large financial costs to build a squad. Rijkaard and Ralf Rangnick are reportedly attracts interest in Barcelona management to become Xavi successors, with the complexity of the financial problems experienced by Barcelona, It seems that the two managers will think twice about accepting the offer.
Yes, financial problems are the main factor why Barcelona experienced a setback this season. Because as we know, last season Barcelona managed to finish in the top position. At that time, Xavi received a lot of praise from Barcelona fans, because he was able to create a very good game scheme for Barcelona. However, this season Xavi has changed drastically and is not like last season. I don't know why the problem is, but what is clear is a financial problem. Because of these financial problems, Barcelona is clearly unable to compete with other top Laliga teams. So even though Barcelona are looking for a new manager, it is unlikely that it will have a big impact. Because what is clear is that currently Barcelona players need quite a long time to develop. So in essence, for this season Barcelona does not have high hopes of being at the top of Laliga.

On the other hand, even though Xavi has thrown in the towel by resigning before his contract ends, Xavi still has an obligation to take Barcelona further in the Champions League. Apart from that, Xavi must also lead Barcelona to secure another ticket at the end of the season, finishing in the top four of the standings is Xavi current priority. The setback experienced by the Blaugrana made it easier for Madrid to dominate La Liga, ATM also had the same fate as Barcelona, and the presence of Girona adds to the fierce competition.
Yes, this is an absolute obligation for Xavi. Although at the end of this season Xavi is certain to leave Barcelona. But Barcelona's remaining matches must be carried out well.
Because if we talk about the Champions League, I think Barcelona will have quite a difficult time. Because Barcelona will face Napoli in the upcoming match. Even though currently Napoli has the same fate as Barcelona, ​​in terms of quality I think Napoli is better than Barcelona.

And this season, if Barcelona only pursues the target of securing the top four positions in Laliga, Barcelona will certainly be able to maintain it.

Im monitoring Neymar's relationship with Al-Hilal with interest but trepidation. We know he's talented, but the injuries and extended recuperation have us wondering how well he'll play again. After investing, Al-Hilal is taking a big risk. Neymar's a star, so I know why they did it, but he must perform well to justify the investment.

I hope Neymar shares Al-Hilal's goals. For the club's harmony, he must fit in with the team's values despite earlier worries about his devotion. Neymar should help Al-Hilal develop a legacy as well as a team. The squad wants him fit and firing, from what I've seen. What matters is how he fits within the team, not simply his talent. While Savic and Mitrovic are wonderful, Neymar's comeback could help Al-Hilal reach their ambitions.
It cannot be denied, Neymar has extraordinary talent in the world of football. Because all of this has been proven by the achievements he has achieved. So it's only natural that last summer Al Hilal dared to break into the transfer market by buying Neymar from PSG. But unfortunately Neymar had to suffer a serious injury to his knee, so he couldn't play with Al Hilal for the rest of the season. But even so, I am sure that Al Hilal and Neymar have a big commitment when something like now happens (injury). I am sure that Neymar will continue to be retained until his contract with Al Hilal actually expires. Because even though Neymar is currently injured, the influence of his name is already great, this still has a good impact on Al Hilal.

Maybe from the start Al Hilal decided to buy Neymar, maybe Al Hilal was more inclined to take advantage of his already big name. Because as we know, although Al Hilal cannot play Neymar at this time. But Al Hilal can still become the number one club in the SPL, and can even beat a strong team like Al Nasr. So from what I have seen, Al Hilal has many options when Neymar is injured. For this reason, Mitrovic became the second option used as the spearhead by Al Hilal, which apparently has had very good results to date.
Even this season, no one has been able to beat Al Hilal in the SPL. Well, if for example Neymar has recovered from his injury and returns to play at Al Hilal, I'm sure Al Hilal will definitely be even more difficult to beat. Moreover, if a player like Mitrovic already has good chemistry with Neymar, I am sure Al Hilal will become a very strong club in the SPL or in Asia.

The most important thing to profit from investing in Bitcoin is, patience and holding. Investing in Bitcoin can be successful if you are patient and hold it for a long period of time. Some people who first invested in Bitcoin and Stop holding for lost patience in fear of Bitcoin's price, rise will now understand, and regret it greatly.
~Snip
In general, I really agree with your opinion. Because it is true, people who are truly enthusiastic and continue to be diligent in the field of bitcoin investment will definitely achieve very satisfying success. Because with a lot of patience and perseverance, even if it's not in the bitcoin investment field, usually always find success. But it needs to be underlined, that great patience and high persistence when investing in bitcoin, will be had when all factors have been completely implemented. And these factors include:

Intention.
By having the right intentions and the prospects have been carefully planned, I am sure and I have experienced that the feeling of patience in waiting for the money invested in Bitcoin will be greater.

The second is science.
Of course, many bitcoin investors already know about this second factor. But quite a few people underestimate this factor. As is the case with bitcoin investment, many people, especially beginners, always think that investing in bitcoin is a scheme to get rich quickly. This assumption clearly cannot be justified 100%, because even in Bitcoin investment, if the situation changes 90 degrees (bad), it could become a quick-to-get-poor scheme. Because in Bitcoin investment there will always be a risk of loss and this cannot be eliminated, but can only be avoided. And the way to avoid this is by studying Bitcoin more maturely.

The third factor is capital.
This factor is very crucial if not understood properly. Because currently there are many investors who are pushing themselves too hard to invest in Bitcoin using capital from loans. For me personally, this really should be avoided. Because if this is done in bitcoin investment, the risks that can be obtained are many times greater. So it's better to invest with a cold usng, whatever it is. And not just because you want to pursue bigger profits, but in a very forceful way.

Then lastly, always take care of your emotions or mentality. Because with a high mentality, investing in bitcoin will definitely make you stronger as a true HODLer.

So if all these factors have been carried out well, then when we go through the process of patiently waiting for our Bitcoin investment, it will definitely feel easier.

Madrid have quality players in their squad. Madrid have a strong squad as well as an experienced coach like Ancelotti. On the other hand, Girona has performed very well this season, but this team lacks experienced players. In both matches against Madrid we saw that Girona's players were not confident enough. More importantly than the fact that they lost, we saw their performance drop off badly in the two games against Madrid. They cannot create any good attack opportunities. Maybe Girona will return to the truck in the upcoming matches. But the chances of seeing a Girona team at the top of the table are now slim. Girona is 5 points behind Madrid.
When yesterday Girona faced Real Madrid, my expectation was that Girona would at least not concede more than 2 goals. Then in that match I also hope that Girona can score at least one goal. But in reality, none of my hopes for Girona came true. In fact, in that match, Girona was slaughtered by Madrid with a score of 4-0. So after I watched the Madrid and Girona match, it is now apparent how different the differences are. In essence, as you said, Real Madrid is indeed superior to Girona in terms of player quality. Plus, the mentality of Girona players is still not completely strong. As a result, the performance of Girona players did not reach their maximum potential.

Even though this season, I personally really want to see other clubs (aside from Madrid and Barca) reach the top of the standings. However, it seems that this will not happen this season, because Madrid will definitely continue to progress, leaving other clubs behind them.

Apart from Real Madrid who succeeded in overthrowing Girona, the opposite happened to Barcelona. In the match between Barcelona VS Granada, Barcelona was unable to beat the team which was actually in the relegation zone. Xavi's team could only bring home a draw and one point. So this season Barcelona has indeed experienced a very significant decline in performance. Maybe what I have observed is that currently Barcelona does not have very good cohesiveness. I don't know what the problem is, but it seems that until the end of this season, it is likely that Barcelona will continue to experience a very significant decline in performance.

In collecting Bitcoin, everyone has a different strategy, there are those who buy it all at once whatever the price when they buy it and there are those who use the DCA method by collecting consistently according to the date they have set, but in both cases there are advantages and disadvantages too because if we buy At the same time, whatever the price at the time of purchase, of course we have to prepare a lot of money and we have to be able to hold it for a long period of time to be able to make a profit and if we use the DCA method, of course we have to buy it every date we have set and it will be very difficult if we don't have a fixed income.
Yes, that's right, when someone wants to invest in bitcoin, there are definitely many ways to buy it. Starting from lump sum purchases (Lumsump), to periodic purchases (DCA). So basically there is no need to be confused about this. Because the main purpose of purchasing bitcoin is of course to add to your portfolio. So whatever purchasing method you choose, the results will definitely not be much different. Moreover, if the aim of buying Bitcoin is to use it as a long-term investment, in my opinion if you want to use the Lumsump or DCA technique the results will definitely be the same.

So the most important thing is to first study the knowledge related to bitcoin. Because knowledge is a very important factor in expediting the investment process. Because if the science or knowledge about Bitcoin has been studied and understood first, then the problem of purchasing techniques will definitely not be something complicated. Because in the world of investment, purchasing techniques are stages that can determine the size of the profits that can be obtained and can also minimize risks when the worst possibility occurs, such as falling prices. But in bitcoin all of that can be rejected by investing in the long term. Because when we invest in Bitcoin for a long period of time, there will definitely be several halving cycles and bull markets that will pass. So even though this year the price of bitcoin is rising, we buy bitcoin, in the end there is a big possibility that we can still make a profit.

Indeed, if only invest in Bitcoin for one cycle (4 years), the profits will definitely not be too big. However, if invest more than one cycle, for example 3 or 4 cycles, it is likely that the profits will be very large. So in this phase, purchasing techniques when investing in Bitcoin can be said to be marginalized.

Are there any potential benefits that can arise from inflation, recession, or economic downturns?

~Snip
When inflation or recession occurs, in my opinion it will be difficult to find opportunities or profits when these two things happen, especially if these benefits lead to things that can make money, in my opinion it will definitely be difficult. Because when inflation or recession occurs, people's economic conditions will definitely be in an unstable state. So creating opportunities or profits at times like that will definitely be very difficult. Even when inflation or recession occurs, many people will have difficulty finding money for food costs. Especially for people who have middle to lower economic conditions, it will definitely be very difficult.

Because when inflation or recession hits a country, the economic system in that country will definitely weaken. So logically it is clearly impossible to create opportunities like doing business. Because the money or capital definitely won't be there. Even if you have capital/money, it is better to use it for living expenses. Then, for example, if you successfully start a business during inflation or recession, of course there won't be too many people interested. This is because people's economic conditions are not good due to inflation and recession. So it is certain that purchasing power and selling power are dropping drastically.

So in conclusion, business opportunities are very unlikely when inflation or recession occurs. So in my personal opinion, when inflation or recession comes, the good thing to do is manage expenses very well. Because if this is not the case, it will definitely be very troublesome if, for example, inflation or recession lasts quite a long time. Because if you think about opportunities at a time like that, in my opinion it is very inappropriate.

girona and real madrid will be the only teams compete for the title race. Barcelona's performance was still far from being called good. The club is still going up and down drastically in anymatch. This is why i define barcelona as a mediocre club who was not ready to compete for the title race this season.
I's quite hard to understand about how barcelona will able to go up again with its inconsistency performance. Barcelona is too far compared to the real madrid and girona. UCL spot will have become very good achievement for barcelona soon.

It's so dumb to expect barcelona to go to first position. It's pretty naïve for people to laying with themselves to call barcelona is performing good coz the fact is the opposite thing. Xavi needs only to taget UCL spot as the best achievement for barcelona this season.
It's too good to be true to see barcelona get at least a trophy this season. Real madrid is going to take the trophy. girona and barcelona can only watch real madri to get it now.

~Snip
It is clear and proven that the clubs that will compete for the top position in La Liga this season are Real Madrid and Girona. The reason is that currently the two clubs are quite far ahead compared to other clubs in terms of point difference. So other clubs in Laliga this season do not have high hopes of catching up with Real Madrid and Girona, including Barcelona who are currently in 3rd place in the Laliga standings. But even so, Barcelona still has slightly greater hopes of catching Real Madrid and Girona than other clubs in Laliga. So even though Barcelona's current performance can be said to be not good and not like the previous season, it would be a bit inaccurate to say that Barcelona no longer has any hope of catching up with the top two teams. The reason is that currently Barcelona is having difficulty finding a good scheme for the flow of their game. However, it could be that in the middle of this season Barcelona finds their best scheme and can turn things around.

And tomorrow Real Madrid and Girona will compete for the top spot. If you look at the performance of the two teams, Real Madrid is indeed superior to Girona. However, it is still too early to say that Real Madrid will win tomorrow's match. The reason is that Girona could make a surprise because Girona certainly doesn't want to miss the momentum to be able to stand at the top of the standings. That's why tomorrow's match looks like it will be very exciting and will definitely be very tense for both teams.

Yes, until now Ronaldo is still considered very arrogant and emotional. But Ronaldo certainly did this for a reason. I don't know if the Al Nasr fans who were there were too angry with Ronaldo, then Ronaldo was insulted there. Or vice versa, it was the supporters from Al Hilal who insulted him and he was thrown an Al Hilal branded scarf. So Ronaldo's emotions overflowed and he carried out this action. So I won't comment much on this, but what is certain is that Ronaldo shouldn't have done this.
Its not the first time with Cristiano Ronaldo emotional can't acceptable with his teams got losses, when still playing with Manchester United he showed bad attitude has any fans ask him take picture but throw the fans mobile phone. I don't think with Cristiano Ronaldo only but also all players will got emotional when their team losses, fans have put in the right position when had the players get losses with their teams without make anything become controversial.
Yes, I agree with you, because losing in a match will definitely make the players emotional. However, Ronaldo is still different from other footballers, because his actions often invite discussion in the world of football. Moreover, his actions sometimes invite controversy from various parties. However, even though on the field or after the match, Ronaldo is a very arrogant figure, but outside of football he is a very kind person. So all of Ronaldo's controversial actions in the field of football, maybe it is his natural attitude on the field. Apart from that, that doesn't mean it's bad, but from my observations so far, Ronaldo is a typical person who tends to be a perfectionist. So if he is in a position to fail or lose in a match, Ronaldo tends to be very disappointed in himself and Ronaldo will not accept the defeat. So, with these characteristics, Ronaldo has a very strong drive to always want to be number one in the world of football. So basically we are all used to the arrogant attitude that Ronaldo always shows. Even though his actions are sometimes unsightly, that is Ronaldo's characteristic.

Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo must forget their losses against Al Hilal last match and keep focus to improve performance upcoming match in AFC Champion League before playing in domestic league again. Its not really important with the emotional from Cristiano Ronaldo and become unusual expressing by any players when their teams got losses, not looking forward because Al Nassr must win on the first leg AFC Champion League match and take three points every domestic league match if want keep in tittle race with Al Hilal.
It is true, Al Nasr's defeat against Al Hilal is enough to be used as valuable learning and material for future evaluation. The reason is, in the domestic league and also the ACL, Al Nasr still has a very long way to go. So the point is that Al Nasr should not sink just because of one defeat. The reason is that in the upcoming match, Ronaldo and his friends still have a chance to beat Al Hilal. And for Al Nasr's next scheduled match in ACL, Ronaldo and his friends have been scheduled to compete against Al Feiha. I think this match will definitely not be too difficult for Al Nasr. Because of the last five meetings with Al Nasr, Al Feiha has never won once. So Al Nasr has the opportunity to win in the first leg and even in the second leg.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do coaches get sacked over poor performance of players? on: February 10, 2024, 07:40:05 AM
I have followed various sporting activities and I noticed something that hardly make complete sense to me and that is the rationale behind firing a coach when the players do perform poorly. What drew my attention to this is a news flash about Jose Mourinho's case in Roma. According to the article, Mourinho left Roma angry and feeling betrayed by the players. Is it even possible that players will intentionally lose matches because they want their coach out at the expense of their own careers? If this is true, why will the club management reprimand the coach and not the players? I know some people will argue that the coach is the leader of the team and should be responsible for building the unity and love the team need to play in high morale, but in a case the players happen to have hated the coach and have decided to lose matches as punishment for their coach, is it right to fire the coach?
Speaking in this context, in my opinion, AS Roma management must study this carefully before deciding to change coaches. Because in my personal opinion, the things that can cause a coach to be fired by club management are:

  • Has a very bad performance at the club he coaches
  • He often has arguments with the players, so many of the players don't like him (don't get along).
  • And finally, the management wants to make changes to the club's playing style (this factor does not mean the coach's performance is very bad).

In my opinion, these three factors are the underlying reasons why a coach can be fired.

So talking about Mourinho who was fired from AS Roma because many of his players didn't like him, I think the steps taken by AS Roma management were very correct. Because if for example AS Roma had to keep Mourinho in the coaching chair, but the players didn't like Mourinho, this would definitely have a bad impact on the club. So sacrificing Mourinho and retaining the players, in my opinion, is the right step. Because after all, the players must be prioritized, because the players are the ones who play on the field. So, if for example the AS Roma players' performance is not good because they are not comfortable with Mourinho, then the AS Roma management must take bold steps to change the coach. And now the AS Roma coach has been replaced with De Rossi and so far the performance of the AS Roma players can be said to be better.

Players without a good coach can't win the game but a good coach with average players can win the game, Mourinho is the one who proved that. I think that Saudi Arabia has to invest in coaches and trainers who will use resources wisely and not lose a team's potential. They are getting marketing by acquiring top players like Cristiano and Benzema but besides good marketing, they need good teamplay to not waste the positive result of their marketing.
You are absolutely right friend. Because, if you think deeper, Al Nasr management seems to have forgotten. Because when it comes to coaches, I don't think the choice is 100% right. So Al Nasr management It's best not to just focus on looking for top players to strengthen the team. Because all of this will be in vain or more precisely will not be optimal if the coach does not have the quality to make the right strategy for his players. Because as is currently happening with Al Nasr, Al Nasr actually already has very good players, especially in the front line and midfield. However, the coach (Luis Castro) could not utilize all of this optimally. Because what I see, sometimes when Al Nasr competes there are still a lot of gaps and a little lack of unity in all lines. So as a result, Al Nasr's performance in every match does not look as solid as it could be. Because sometimes Al Nasr can play very well and it is very easy to score goals. But sometimes Al Nasr doesn't play well and it's very difficult to score goals. Even though this is very relative in the world of football, it can still be overcome with the coach's strategy and decisions. So basically the squad that Luis Castro uses in every match, in my opinion, is sometimes a little inaccurate. Therefore, Al Nasr management must be able to correct coaches like that. If, for example, the strategy is stuck at this stage, I think it would be very wise for Al Nasr to change its coach. Because if it's not like that, it seems like it will be difficult for Al Nasr to develop more rapidly.

Btw I didn't see this mentioned in this thread but guys, what do you think about Cristiano Ronaldo's actions after the loss? He put a fan's scarf in his pants and threw it away. As far as I know, Saudi people are traditional and conservative. I wonder how they will react to this accident.

Ronaldo probably did all that because he was disappointed with his defeat to Al Hilal. The reason is that in that match Al Nasr lost to Al Hilal with a score of 2-0. Because from the news I read, the incident started when a supporter threw a scarf bearing the Al Hilal symbol at Ronaldo and Ronaldo vented his disappointment by tucking the scarf into his trousers.

Yes, until now Ronaldo is still considered very arrogant and emotional. But Ronaldo certainly did this for a reason. I don't know if the Al Nasr fans who were there were too angry with Ronaldo, then Ronaldo was insulted there. Or vice versa, it was the supporters from Al Hilal who insulted him and he was thrown an Al Hilal branded scarf. So Ronaldo's emotions overflowed and he carried out this action. So I won't comment much on this, but what is certain is that Ronaldo shouldn't have done this.

Cadiz is a weak and poor team, every season they only hope to survive in the 1st division of the Spanish LaLiga. and this season so far it is ranked 18th and in the relegation zone. Of course Real Betis will easily win this match even though they have to play away at Cadiz
Yes, if you look at the current standings, Real Betis will certainly have no difficulty when facing Cadiz. However, if you look at the Head to Head record between Real Betis and Cadiz, from the last 5 meetings, the results are 3 draws and 1 win for Real Betis and Cadiz. So in my personal opinion, Cadiz cannot be underestimated in this match. The reason is, Cadiz's chances of winning the match against Real Betis do not seem small. Moreover, currently Real Betis will play away to Cadiz, I think Real Betis might have a little difficulty facing Cadiz. Even though Cadiz is a poor club and is always at the bottom of the standings, I really appreciate their struggle to always be free from the relegation zone. The reason is that since the 2020 season until now, Cadiz has always managed to escape the relegation zone from Division 1 La Liga, and this is not an easy thing for a club like Cadiz. Because Division 1 always contains great clubs. For this reason, hard work and quality players are needed to survive in Division 1 of La Liga.

So in this match Real Betis must not be careless or underestimate Cadiz. Because even though Cadiz rarely wins this season. But keep in mind, Cadiz often holds his opponents to a draw. So you could say that Cadiz has a strong defense which will definitely make things a little difficult for Real Betis.

As we move into the future, the demand for Bitcoin is increasing along with the basic needs. I think if a person invests properly by following the DCA method, he can definitely prove himself as an ideal investor. It is better to invest from present time, like me (I have kept my investment alive for 14 months) I also want to make my investment for long term. I got to see my portfolio and it made me want to invest more. So 10% of my income I invest here for long term following DCA method. This is a proper journey that I learned from JJG text.
Investing in bitcoin is indeed the right thing to do now. Because the potential developments that could occur in the future are very promising. Therefore, when you want to invest in bitcoin, don't wait to have a lot of money first. But the most important thing is that when you have cold money, whatever it is, immediately invest it in Bitcoin at any time. Because in my personal opinion, waiting too long to invest in bitcoin might not be right. That's why the DCA system is used in the world of bitcoin investment. Because this technique makes it very easy for bitcoin investors to increase their portfolio with any amount of money on a regular basis.

However, that doesn't mean that Bitcoin investments only have to use small amounts of money. However, using large amounts of funds at once would also be very good. Because if you look at the potential that Bitcoin has, in the future the market price will definitely continue to increase. Because several factors like the ones you mentioned have positive potential, that's why the price is expensive. So basically if you invest in bitcoin, whether using the DCA technique or other techniques, the end result will definitely be good. Because if bitcoin continues to develop and is known by people throughout the world, it is certain that the market price will rise. Because currently according to the data that I know, Bitcoin users in the world have not yet reached 20%. So the potential for price increases that will occur in the next 10-15 years will definitely be higher.

So the most important thing, when investing in Bitcoin, we must have a good pattern and must avoid all risks. Even though bitcoin is the safest digital investment asset, if the basics of investment science are not applied, the results will definitely be less than satisfactory.
