Let's look at the bottom of the table occupied by Union Berlin. They are in the Bundesliga after being successfully promoted in the 2019/2020 season, as a promotion club, their performance can compete with clubs that have been in the highest caste of German football, even they can compete in the middle of the table, and in my opinion it is something very extraordinary. More than that, even they can improve their position every season and the most recent is when they can finish in the top 4 last season. Now they are at the bottom of the table, it is a very significant decline that they show. with their experience of rising from the second caste, they should make it a motivation to be able to rise again.
I feel very sorry for Union Berlin, a lot of very passionate fans, a small team with big dreams. But in fact, after successfully qualifying for the UCL league last season, they had to divide their concentration in the Bundesliga this season, so it's no surprise they are at the bottom of the standings.

But I don't think they are relegated because basically they will be knocked out of the Champions League so they can fully concentrate on the Bundesliga. I predict they will finish 12th. They need to rediscover the spirit of the small club Union Berlin Rebels like previous seasons. So once they are eliminated from the Champions League, they can only concentrate on the Bundesliga
Yes, they not only failed in the Champions League, but they also slumped in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League itself, they are now at the bottom of the standings with no wins, while closing their chances of qualifying for the last 16, but they still have hope to at least be in the European League.
I don't think dividing their concentration between the domestic competition and the Champions League is the reason why they are the way they are. There are many factors, one of which is the strategy of the coach, new players who cannot adapt quickly, to the failure of players who fail to implement the strategy properly.



It further makes it more interesting with the fact that Xabi is even a yong coach a s he is achieving this already. It's very possible he could bring to an end the era of Bayern Munich dominance in the bundesliga, if he succeeds in winning the league title by the end of this season as this happens to be one of his targets.

Bayern Munich under the management of tuchel is doing so well and definitely still remains fierce amongst other teams in the bundesliga especially this season where they have been winning recently with great goal margins. Xabi is really building a formidable and contending force against tuchel's but then only time can tell if Xabi has got a team who can withstand the fierce champions of the bundesliga.
It's still very far away and the season hasn't even reached the middle so Xabi Alonso will be successful if Bayern Leverkusen can lift the Bundesliga trophy, especially if they can also be successful in the European League.
If Bayern Munich is like last season, which didn't perform very well, maybe we can be sure that Bayern Leverkusen will break Munich's dominance, but what about Bayern Munich this season, even though they are two points behind Leverkusen, they are the team with the most goals and also the team with the least goals conceded, with that fact, if there is an opportunity for Bayern Munich to take over the standings then it will be very difficult for any team to bring them down because the strikers and defenders will ensure that Bayern Munich wins every match they play and only in the DFB Cup they failed to win.
In addition to looking from the side of Bayern Munich, talking about Leverkusen can break the dominance of Bayern Munch or not, of course we will see from their side too. Now they are very consistent, and the question is how strong are they to maintain their consistency? I don't mean to doubt Leverkusen in maintaining their consistency, but we also have to look at situations that will not benefit them too. For example, the hurricane of injuries to their players and so on, things like that will usually affect their performance.

There is a big match waiting for us in week 13 of the Premier League which will bring together Mamchester City and Liverpool. I don't know if I'll be in the betting or not, but I'll most likely be there to bet. It's just that I haven't made a choice on which club I'm going to bet on. Any suggestions?  Grin
It is better to wait until the International match is over because we will know some of the players from both sides whether there will be injuries or not during this qualifying match then it could also be looking at the statistics of the two clubs.

I won't place any bets now it's too far away. hehe


See the picture of the odds.
Do you want to take a risk on Liverpool with odds of 4.80? Statistically Liverpool is not bad even only 1 loss against Spurs that was full of controversy, so by taking that risk you still have hope that Liverpool can win.

Maybe I will try to make a choice on Liverpool in this 13th match.
Yes, I think so too, because it will also be a risk if it turns out that any of the main players cannot play due to several factors, including injury.
It's very tempting to bet on a Liverpool win with odds of more than 4. But it has a very high risk, especially I plan to bet on multi bets. Not only that, Manchester City will also play at home, surely it will be a big pressure on Livepool. and if we look at their meeting record, Liverpool is very difficult to win when playing at the Ettihad Stadium.

Now they are at the bottom of the table, it is a very significant decline that they show. with their experience of rising from the second caste, they should make it a motivation to be able to rise again.
If talking about Union Berlin before this season they have rapid progress in Bundesliga and since got promoted on 2019 Union Berlin can able to improved their position for each years and one of their best achievement is last season when they can able to finish at 4th place and playing at champion league and actually Union Berlin was attempt to improved their squad quality with bought some of new players this summer but apparently just like i said before this is their biggest mistakes because those players were unable to adapt quickly with Union Berlin and it makes their performance decline and currently they have to avoiding relegation zone but there is still a time for them to survive in Bundesliga and let see whether they can able to avoiding relegation zone at the end of season or Union Berlin will be relegated to Bundesliga 2
The delay of some plyers in the adaptation process is one of the reasons why they play not like usual and even that is a very bad decline.
I think it's too early to talk and question whether they will be relegated this season or not. With reference to the remaining matches in the Bundesliga, it is still very much and we are now not yet in the first half of the season. There are still many opportunities for them to get out of the zone they are in now. Their points gap is also not that far, and when looking at the competition at the bottom there are also many clubs that are struggling to find their best performance, and that's more than 5 clubs.




It is indeed very unfortunate for Union Berlin in this season, because Union Berlin is having a very severe decline in performance this season and of course,it is a bad situation for Union Berlin this moment. Also, although currently Union Berlin has 2 win result but still, Union Berlin is at the bottom of the table because Union Berlin is getting prolonged defeats so far this season. So ya, if for example Union Berlin can reduce the defeat with a draw, then of course it will be better for Union Berlin. So yes, Union Berlin should rise, even though it is not able to make a victory in every match, but it should be able to Union Berlin to get a draw more often than losing.
Oh yes, I just realized that they have never tasted a draw this season in the Bundesliga.
If you compare draws and defeats, then it's true that draws are better. But in some circumstances, a draw is a defeat and still I think a win is something they should get.
I remember how Borussia Dortmund failed last season. Yes, it was because they got a draw in their last match which ultimately made them fail to be able to win the title from Bayern Munich.

Lyon's journey to get out of the relegation zone will take a very long time, that's because based on their own performance which is still erratic and even tends to be bad, as evidenced by the 1 victory they managed to get that had to wait until week 12.
Now that hope arises after they managed to book their first victory, but they must still do hard work to make them better. One more thing, this first victory they achieved was inseparable from their numerical advantage after Rennes only played with 10 people even from the 5th minute.
Believe it or not, I still have faith that Lyon will soon strengthen their performance to avoid the relegation zone despite going through a long period of time, but remember, Lyon is one of the clubs that is quite good in League 1 and we will see a pretty good performance after getting a few wins or getting players. just from the transfer market later.
I'm not closing their chances of getting out of the red zone, because the possibility is still there and still big, especially with a very long journey of competition, it will be enough to make them slowly improve their position in the standings.

But will it go by itself? Of course not, they have to show a strong determination that they want to get out of the red zone they are in now.
They must be more confident and of course it must be accompanied by good changes too. Because confidence alone is not enough to make them achieve positive results in the matches they play.
The transfer window is one of the opportunities for them to strengthen their squad to be even better, and they must make the best use of it.



I guess nobody nobody thought the table would be looking like this for Olympique Lyon after 11 games, but this trend looks so bad for them that I also doubt that they will recover from that. Because this is not just about bad results, but about having the second weakest offense of the league. 7 points after eleven games doesn't look like an outlier that will soon be corrected. This could a fierce fight until the last day against the relegation zone.
Whether or not the win was the result of a lucky break, I hope it's a turning point to restore their morale that has fallen this season.
On points, they are 6 points away from safety, and for a red zone like this, that's actualy quite a lot of points. But again I say, with a lot of games left, then it's a point that they will be very likely to pass to move out of this red zone.
They have a lot of work to do, and it has to be done one by one.

The 13th match, in my opinion, is quite an interesting match to watch for the top clubs, Manchester City vs Liverpool, I think this match will end in a draw because both teams were in pretty good performance at the end of the previous match and the two teams below them Brentford vs Arsenal, if Arsenal can get full points, of course they will move up to first place in the standings with 30 points, Manchester City 29 and Tottenham vs Aston Villa, if Suprs can also get the winning points they will move up to 3rd place in the standings with the same points as City Just a difference in goal difference and Arsenal fell into 4th position.

The match between Manchester City vs Liverpool will be a tough one because both the team are looking for the balance in the table, so if anyone loss the match the loser will move to third position if Arsenal win  against Brentford, if Manchester City vs Liverpool draw and Arsenal win is an advantage for Arsenal to claim the first on table living behind Manchester City with the interval of one point. Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston villa I don't know what to say because Tottenham are lacking their few key players while the Aston villa are really in good form now, both teams need this win to create space for themselves, eventually if Liverpool loss against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur manage and win Aston villa, I use manager because Aston villa are not like before they have in their good performance this season, Tottenham Hotspur will have opportunity to move to third place.
Yes it will be a very interesting mtch from both clubs and for ourselves it will certainly be difficult to predict a match that brings together two clubs that are on a positive trend.
For Manchester City themselves, they can focus on this match without having to think about the Champions League, because they are certainly safe there. It will be difficult when they are not safe in the Champions League and have to think about big matches like this, because after this they will play in the Champions League.
For Liverpool this will be a very good momentum if they manage to win, because it will make their morale even greater.

The emotional connection between Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid in my opinion will help him to be able to implement a very good strategy for his former club while still an active player. Maybe it's a different comparison, but I see Xavi with Barcelona and maybe Xabi will be able to follow in Xavi's footsteps because he is also a former player of the club he is currently coaching.
Although it could be a different situation in the end, I also agree with what he is doing with Leverkusen at the moment. I appreciate his hard work, because he came at a time when Leverkusen were also in a bad situation at the time.
Xavi has put Barcelona ahead but Xavi can't do better than Real Madrid despite hundreds of attempts.  Real Madrid have organized themselves very well and every player management in Real Madrid has been quite good.  And because of this, they are seen performing very well in every match. Xavi has done a lot for Barcelona and so far Barcelona have been known as a very good team.  But I am very worried about what will happen to Barcelona when Xavi can no longer be with Barcelona
If you say so, the fact is that Xavi led Barcelona to the championship last season and that certainly beat Real Madrid in the competition. I agree that Real Madrid do look better prepared, but that's because they don't have the kind of problems that Barcelona do.
We must admit that one of the things that made Barcelona finally decline was because of their financial problems that were not resolved, even until this moment. That makes it difficult for them to do their best.
Apart from all that, I appreciate Xavi for bringing Barcelona to a better direction with the limitations he has because of the problems faced by Barcelona.



Thanks to the cool hands of Xabi Alonso, Laverkusen directly challenged defending Bundesliga champion Bayern Munchen this season by topping the standings without a single defeat. Similar to their achievements in the European League competition, they swept four group stage matches with wins and recorded perfect points.

Referring to Laverkusen current performance, with a squad depth very different from than Munchen and Madrid, but Xabi was able to transform it into a club that consistently wins. I think if Perez appoints Ancelotti replacement, then Xabi is the right person to succeed the Italian coach.

Success will accompany Xabi if this rumor comes true, because we have seen how he has performed so far with Laverkusen. Coupled with his emotional connection to the club, I think Xabi will be able to follow in Zidane footsteps. For now everyone will wait to see how Laverkusen's journey ends under Xabi command first.
Yes, I would have thought the same if I had seen what he could do with Leverkusen from the moment he was appointed. I know and I understand that maybe it will be a different story when he handles a bigger club, because the pressure he gets will definitely be much greater, especially if the club is as big as Real Madrid which we know that they are giants in La Liga and even more so, in Europe.
If we talk logic, with the squad he has not as luxurious as Real Madrid he can do something good, then something more extraordinary might be able to do with a luxurious squad. But speaking of football, not everything can be thought of with logic, everything is full of surprises.

In week 15, we will see a big mtch between Al Hilal vs Al Nassr, which will be held at King Fahd stadium, which is the headquarters of Al Hilal. I can't wait for these two clubs, these two clubs who are in very good form will meet to see who is better than them in the first meeting of the season. Currently Al Hilal are at the top of the table, assuming both clubs can win in week 14, then they still have a 4 point diference. A defeat will not shift Al Hilal's position in the table, but it will affect their points difference which will be even closer.

At least, there is still plenty of time to be able to prepare a better squad and performance. So ya, of course Al Nassr will have great ambitions to beat Al Hilal in this match. It doesn't matter that Al Nassr is playing away because anyway, if Al Nassr loses by Al Hilal in this match, it will be even more difficult for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal. Therefore, although Al Nassr is just to make the points gap closer but still, it is the best way for Al Nassr in this match because this match will be a great opportunity for Al Nassr to continue to pressure Al Hilal at the top of the table.
If we look at the record of their meetings in the last 5 meetings, Al Hilal is superior by incising 3 wins, and Al Nassr can only record 1 victory that they got in the last meeting in the Arab Champions Cup match, and the other 1 ended in a draw.
But even so, we cannot take their meeting record as something that guarantees the same thing will happen, surely this match will show something different, both from Al Nassr and from Al Hilal. Now their strength is also much different.
There is no doubt that both clubs will go all out in this match to achieve what they set out to do in the first place.

I also don't think there will be weapons at the World Cup because there will always be guarding and very tight security at every match that takes place because it involves people from outside the country so the AS legal authorities are responsible for maintaining the security and comfort of everyone.
Some people associate it with conflict and war but thoughts like this should be dispelled because football has nothing to do with such problems.

This issue arises because the US is a country that legalizes firearms. So concerns about shootings are quite natural because many tourists come from countries where the use of firearms is prohibited. It's like when you make a fuss with the wrong people in America, it's not impossible that they will bring out guns for it. I don't look down on the United States but I hope everything goes well and can hold all the matches in the 2026 world cup successfully.
Actually, when talking about security, it will be related to everyone who must take part in organizing security, it's just that the difference is how each person's role is in accordance with their respective abilities. And maybe the difference is when the country organizes a big event that will be attended by many people, they will have more responsibility.
Talking about the legality of firearms in the US, yes it is indeed a concern in itself, because the risk is not playing games and will be directly related to death. I hope the US or FIFA itself already has other plans to anticipate fears like this.

It will certainly be a super big game and definitely worth watching, or at least I hope it is that way. Obviously I think Inter are the favorites in this match, but you can never tell. At these levels anything can happen and a single butterfly can change the fate of the game.

This is the time for Massimiliano Allegri to boost the performance of his team and he's ready to take on Inter Milan in next game. Simeone Inzaghi is not here to play but to win major trophies for Nerazzurri this season, he's competent enough and go for what he wants, and now I can say he has eyes on the scudetto and the UEFA Champions League trophy this season, and there's basically no going back. Watching Inter Milan performance in previous games, they don't seem to be team that are willing to lose a point yet, rather they exhibits consistent spectacular performance and are at the verge of giving good gaps towards Juventus. 
In terms of readiness, Juventus actually benefited more because they did not have a very busy schedule like Inter Milan. But that is not the only factor that will affect their performance in this match.
I see this match as more than an ordinary match, because this will also affect their standings if one of the two clubs can win 3 points. The strategy of the two coaches will determine who will be able to win the match, not only that the players who will be directly involved will determine whether the strategy goes well or not.

I also hope that everything will work out for him in Real Madrid. On the one hand, he is very young for such a high position, but on the other hand, if you look at his achievements (two Champions Leagues with different clubs + a World Cup and two European titles), you can see that dominance is something he has been familiar with for a long time. Plus, how steep a path he had as a player will make his authority as a coach undeniable.
Maybe, because I believe Xabi Alonso has the potential to succeed with Real Madrid if it is true that next season moves there, with the experience that has been achieved during his time as a player Xabi Alonso has quite a long experience with the titles he won in the past maybe this dominance can prove that he is indeed worthy even though he is still young for a coach, but it does not deny it if a young coach can shine because of his hard work.

However I like Xabi Alonso when handling Leverkusen now, this has beaten Bayern Munich's current position, maybe there is no other choice for Real Madrid except to recruit as a replacement for Ancelotti.
The emotional connection between Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid in my opinion will help him to be able to implement a very good strategy for his former club while still an active player.

Winning by any score is definitely very important for Lyon because they have never won since the start of the season and they only felt it in Week 12. Another advantage in this match was that Rennes only played with 10 people after one of their players received a red card at the start of the match.

This made Lyon even more favored to win and O'brien scored Lyon's only winning goal in the second half. With this victory, Lyon has collected 7 points and they still need 6 more points to get out of the relegation zone and that is another challenge they have to overcome.
Lyon's journey to get out of the relegation zone will take a very long time, that's because based on their own performance which is still erratic and even tends to be bad, as evidenced by the 1 victory they managed to get that had to wait until week 12.

Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world, there is no doubt about that I think. As big as they are though, they will never get Trent Alexander Arnold to leave Liverpool. He is born and bred in the city, Liverpool is his team.

Besides £70,000,000 wouldn’t even buy his left leg Cheesy
No way he goes to Real Madrid and I would take bets on that.
Alexander-Arnold is important, though he has his weaknesses and he's probably working on it. Liverpool occupied the englishman with important roles and he's not thinking of exiting Anfield anytime soon, but there are some elite teams that a player can not decline because they're the best club in the world. Real Madrid is an elite team popularly known for the fierce appearance in games and winning major trophies in elite tournaments. Real Madrid are always one step above other opposition, scouting for better replacement for Daniel Carvajal Ramos. Carlo Ancelotti will ensure he's able to sign a prominent player in the coming transfer window.
When the player is under contract with the club, then even if the player does not want to leave but the club wants to sell him, then it will definitely happen transfer. now I also see Arnold is one of the important players for Liverpool and honestly I also see Liverpool will consider with long consideration if then they think of selling him. For now the possibility of him staying at Liverpool is still very large, but when the offer comes and the amount is tempting, then it also does not rule out the possibility of changing their decision in the end, either from the side of the player or the club.

My prediction is more of between Manchester City and Real Madrid. I see Real Madrid with the chance of winning the UEFA champions league then Manchester City comes second. The only issue I am having with Real Madrid is the need for Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo to make more goals than they do. They have to take up the challenge strongly as they have the chance to do so but they must work exta miles to achieve that.
I have the same prediction for favorite UEFA Champion League winner in this season between Manchester City or Real Madrid despite have many other teams such as Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Barcelona. Both favorite teams above have impressive performance in domestic league and consistent in the winning trend will make their opportunity for winning UEFA Champion League looks easily without have hard working keep focus in domestic league.

Man City and Real Madrid are teams have solid composition right now, most of their regular players not injured and easily for Man City keep defending their Champion League tittles, so far both teams have guarantee their position in 16th round and waiting to be first standings or runner up position.
Manchester City and Real Madrid have always been able to dominate their opponents so far, but you should not exclude Bayern Munich. This season, Bayern Munich is starting to perform better compared to last season, since Kane presence in the squad, Bayern Munich has found it easier to win. Real Madrid is always the favorite because of its status as the team that has won the most UCL trophies, but I still doubt Real Madrid quality this season. I'm still waiting for the moment of Real Madrid versus other big teams to draw conclusions, while Manchester City is no longer in doubt, let alone its status as defending champion.
It's no wonder that there will be many people who put Manchester City and Real Madrid as the biggest favorites to win the Champions League this season. Manchester City themselves now hold the status of defending champions and Real Madrid as we know they are a club that has a very good history and they now hold the title as the club that has won the most championships.
On the other hand, we can't rule out other clubs that also have a chance, although I agree that other clubs don't have as big a percentage as the two clubs being discussed here.

Aston Villa has better goal productivity than Tottenham. But I see Tottenham still have a good chance of beating Aston Villa. This is an interesting match because the two teams are only 1 point apart. Tottenham will win that match and Aston Villa will remain in 5th place in the standings. Even though Aston Villa has more wins but it cannot be said that Aston Villa has better chances.

It is quite remarkable that if Aston Villa wins, Tottenham will be out of the top 4, but just recently (2 rounds ago) Tottenham was in first place. But it’s hard for me to believe in such an outcome, since three defeats in a row would be too unfair for Tottenham. I hope they stay in the title race. Overall, we are looking forward to a great tour with three big games at once.

On the other hand, the difference in points from the two is very thin now, the difference is only one point, although it cannot be used as a reference about who has a great chance of winning, but still if Tottenham loses again in this match then obviously they will be shifted to fifth in the standings. Honestly, I can't predict who will be able to win in this match, but certainly the two teams now have quite the same performance because in the previous two matches Tottenham lost and that means their performance has declined again.

Honestly for myself I wouldn't say it's unfair if Tottenham lost this match against Aston Villa, with that then yes their defeats are running in a row but I think it's quite reasonable because now Tottenham's performance is decreasing due to the two key players they got injured in the previous match against Chelsea. So yes with that then I will not expect too much victory for Tottenham because it might be quite difficult with conditions like this.

While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.
Having bills placed near you sounds like a good suggestion, but still, it might not be as helpful when gamblers can quickly get immersed through playing casino games. I sometimes have my wallet beside me while playing but it doesn't serve as the best reminder, unlike looking at my losses through my betting history. To me, it's easy to ignore something that's even in front of you once you're hooked on an activity like gambling. If reminders could help gamblers control themselves, they might be better off looking for an alternative that'll help them get their attention.

Your thoughts are very much correct because the bills before you while gambling would not be of any good stopping you from gambling but rather, it would make you gamble more because if you look at it the thoughts of paying it up would want you to generate more money and doing such would make you ignore the fact that you are gambling and possibly, if you are at loss, you would not mind damning the consequences to gamble more which is very risky and that is how one would keep gambling making loss back to back and chasing loss as well resulting to addiction just to meet up with bills and lots more.

True, that is the starting point of a gambler getting into debt as a result of not being able to manage his gambling activities. Someone who has the courage to borrow money just to gamble I think the level of addiction is very severe, they can't resist the urge to gamble even though on the other hand they don't have money but somehow they are so forceful in their lust. With that, they will start the cycle of borrowing to gamble and borrowing again to pay off the previous debt because the fact is that they can't get any winnings from gambling to be able to pay the debt.

Honestly, I really can't imagine what they will feel in such conditions, obviously there will be a lot of pressure, not only from the defeat that always dominates but from the factor of people who collect debts, obviously it will also be quite a big pressure. In fact it will only worsen their condition, because of course on the other hand there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to win in gambling and that means it is not recommended if you look for alternatives such as borrowing money just to gamble with high hopes for victory.

as a regular gambler or healthy gambler, bad experiences do not need to be avoided, just as you said, learning from bad experiences for a regular gambler is a very valuable lesson for him and will usually be used as a benchmark for not repeating the same mistakes and avoiding the consequences gambling addicts who do bad things as other people say.

Good point, that is for those who have a healthy mindset about how to take care of their gambling activities, they will use those mistakes or those losses to prevent things from repeating and use it as well as basis when dealing with their gambling sessions, I guess there are so many differences in terms of taking things inside gambling.

We have all seen the bad side effects and how it will affect the mindsets of the person who loses control while involved in gambling, there are many things that the person can do, most are unusual and most are bad side effects of pleasing their desires.

Yes, that's good advice, but the problem is that it is difficult to get that mindset and I think that usually most of them are very rare to bring a healthy mindset to their gambling activities. For those who until now still have the mindset of gambling to seek victory then maybe they have to experience terrible things first in gambling such as for example a very painful defeat and whose impact affects their real life, and if something like that they have experienced then maybe yes as you said at least they will definitely feel kapok and do not want to be in such conditions anymore. With that means that it is very likely that they will be more careful and apply some restrictions for safety.

That's right, there are many examples of people suffering from the downturn of gambling, I think it's very common and we just have to learn from the mistakes of others or the downturn experienced by some other gamblers. Therefore, one way to prevent it is that we should not overdo it so as not to get into the trap of addiction, because obviously if we have entered that phase it is very difficult to recover our mindset.

On the other hand yes maybe you can tell about your gambling activities to one of your closest people who of course like you said on condition that they must be trusted in order to keep this secret, but on the other hand in my opinion you should not only tell it but also find the best solution to overcome your problems such as trying some actions to reduce or even stop, because after all the best thing is when you can get out of this activity so as not to cause any problems later.

Telling someone about your gambling lifestyle is not bad so far as the person knows how to respect boundaries and keeping secrets as the case maybe between the both of them. If you feel like telling someone about it, then it must be that person you trust enough to keep it to him or herself. However getting out of it, you must be prepared to do it because it wouldn't be that easy as you think it is as it has to do with addiction which has become part of the gambler lifestyle and would need some approach to gradually divert the mind of the gambler to another thing.

Yes, as I said above, as in general, gambling activities are quite negative in the eyes of the community, especially if their environment, including their family, forbids these activities, so with that, of course, if we really want to tell your close friend or for example a family member, then yes, as you also said, make sure that the person is trusted in terms of keeping your activities secret, I hope you choose someone who is not only trusted but on the other hand they can also at least consider giving the right advice on what you should do, because it's useless if you just tell him and tell him to keep it a secret if on the other hand you don't find a way out.

Yes it's true, it is difficult to get out of this gambling activity, especially if you are already quite addicted, but I think it's not impossible, I'm sure everyone can stop or just reduce it as long as there is a strong will and intention, but even so you will still need a long time to be able to stop completely because obviously this is about changing your habits and mindset, and believe me the process will not betray the results.
