Everyone knows, that most of streamers fake-money.

If you want to know why everyone still watching the stream even they all know is fake money? because in their stream always have giveaways, they tried to win the giveaway. Not really care about watching the stream.

Just search in youtube : Roshtein Fake Money
Other than that, some people like it when they watch the games played by stremers. I think it's a common thing, where someone knows that it's a setup done by the streamer but they still like to watch. And it's not just in gambling, but I also see some YouTube content creators for example they still have a loyal audience base even though their content contains ordinary things or even leads to something that has been planned from the beginning. Especially if there is a give away in it, it will add to the attraction because they expect something, namely a prize.

It's been great to see Leverkusen's form lately, yes they are slowly improving after a difficult time last season. The presence of the coach is undeniably the beginning of their revival. Leverkusen must appreciate the performance of Xabi Alonso who directly made changes for the better.
At the beginning of his coaching, not a few people doubted him, the reason was because he was a coach who was said to still lack experience. But he can prove even though at first he was still shuffling to create a change.
Now he brings Leverkusen to the top of the standings, so he must show the consistency of the club he currently holds.

I have started to see rumours regarding Manchester United and Oblak. It seems like they are interested in bringing him to the team. However I believe this is going to be very difficult for them. He has already a contract until 2028 with the team. He must have signed this contract newly which shows his loyalty to his team.

Besides Atletico Madrid would also not like to lose one of their most valuable players. Oblak is still a great goalkeeper. I don't see any reason for Oblak to choose to join Manchester United now either. Atletico Madrid are in much better condition now.
With no disrespect to Manchster United, choosing Atletico Madrid is the best option for Oblak at the moment. We know that Manchster United's current situation is far from hopeless, and as you say, Atletico Madrid are also in a better state, especially after they won the Madrid derby.
I'm the same as you, that I don't see any reason why Oblak should go to England, specifically, Manchester United. Especially with his very long contract with Atletico Madrid. I also don't see that Atletico Madrid will want to let him go.

I will name the top 4 candidates for the Champions League title this season.
First is my favorite name: Bayern. They maintain an unbeaten record this season in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
I must always have to mention Man City because they are the defending champions. They have a good squad and are led by a talented and experienced coach.
Next is a Barca team that has been at a high level since Xavi took over as the team's head coach.
And the last name I want to mention is Real Madrid, even though they were recently defeated by Atletico in La Liga. They have a history with the most championship trophies. With this arena, they will pay more attention. It is also possible that they win the championship this season.
Yes and I think the 2 clbs you mentioned are the biggest favorites to win the title this season. Moreover, they are big clubs in their respective leagues. I will comment more on Real Madrid, they are a Champions League regular, and they still hold the record for the most Champions League titles in existence. I have to say this, that they are the club that has the best mentality that I have seen so far, especially if they are in the Champions League.
They are fearsome, and it's not uncommon for them to surprise you.


Aside from them, Manchester City have everything it takes to win the Champions League for a second time, from their backline to their frontline. That's thanks to Pep's success in building the foundation of this club.

MLS wouldn't be known around the world if Beckham and other players that played in European leagues didn't move there. MLS kept a medium level at the opposite of Chinese league which faded fast. Same goes for Gulf region, they have foreign players and coaches from long time but things got interesting suddenly with Cristiano Ronaldo moving there, followed by a lot of stars this season. This made media and people getting interested.

that?s exactly what I am saying, let?s not consider the excessive spending they did stupid

perhaps they wanted results immediately and will be more careful in their spending in the coming years!

I repeat, for me they chose this way in order to advertise and arouse the interest of the media, and they really succeeded
Whenever you do something big, it comes with a big sacrifice, and in this case, it's money. The money they've spent has had a good impact with their league now being better known. And when a league becomes popular it's easy for them to do something else.
Maybe I will give an example of an influencer for example, when they are already popular and have a lot of fans then something big will come, like for example they will get bigger endorsements than before and so on. This applies to a league as well.

PSG vs Marseille two teams have come to the field for the match between the two teams PSG team is performing very well. Due to this match PSG won the match by 4 goals. From the start of the match to the end I am really impressed by the performance of the PSG team players. It will play so well.  I didn't expect. Marseille team players did not score any goal because of bad performance. Goalkeeper of Marseille team performed so bad in this match which is beyond my imagination. I thought Marseille team might score a goal at the end of the game but they didn't.
Paris Saint Germain managed to complete their task very well, and they could win by 4 goals, and not only that, they also successfully kept Marseille under pressure so that their opponents this time could not develop their game throughout the match.
There is a change, yes I have to say that, although I don't know how far they will continue to improve and be consistent with their performances. But this is certainly a good start for their future development, because a good start is a positive start to see their improvement.

Who knows how many matches Pochettino needs to increase his players' confidence to be able to win matches, but they have failed in 5 of the first 6 matches this season. I won't completely say Pochettino will fail this season with Chelsea, but I can really predict that his work for Chelsea this season will be very tough.
He's already failed to create a new Chelsea, there's no need to wait anymore as the result will be pretty much similar like the present.

Chelsea will not able to reach top 7 positions, but they're not really as bad as weak teams in relegation zone, at least Chelsea is safe and not relegated to Championship league.

Chelsea must sack Pochettino ASAP before they suffer larger loses.
Chelsea are not as bad as the clubs in the relegation zone, but that is no reason to justify their current poor performance. After all, their status in the Premier League is a big club that when they play badly it will draw a lot of attention to them. Now what will the management do? will they again decide to change their coach in a short time? or will they wait until there is a good change in them? here needs consideration, lest they make the wrong decision again, which happened in the previous season. Changing coaches is also not good if they don't consider it carefully.

I'm sure Madrid won't go down too far. Madrid is Barcelona's rival for the La Liga trophy. Last season Madrid was too relaxed and their focus was on the Champions League. Until they didn't realize that Barcelona was already quite far ahead.
but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.
Of course, Real Madrid won't sink too deep just because they lost to Atletico Madrid, but we all know that they do have problems in attack. Real Madrid's attackers were unable to do much when they were defeated by Atletico Madrid 3-1, even Bellingham, who is often considered a hero, was unable to do anything because Atletico Madrid was a stronger team than the 5 other La Liga teams they managed to beat.

I can really imagine that other teams will learn a lot from how Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid. This means that Real Madrid will probably lose more points in the next match if they don't really have a solution to improve their best form. Player injuries are certainly the most fundamental problem for Real Madrid, but we all know that they also lack strikers.
They are a club with a big mentality, so one defeat will not bring them down. It's not just once or twice that they have experienced something like this, even in the Chmpions League we all know that they are a club that can turn things around when the match time is not far away. However, their problem is now on the front lines. Most of the goals they scored came from mdfielders, and even most of the goals came from Jude , here it should be clear that they have serious problems after being left behind by their sharp striker this season. Ancelloti has to rack his brains, lest their weaknesses become an opening for their opponents in every match.

Football is the most popular sport there, I have seen many videos circulating on social media showing almost every child already playing football there, not only on the field but also anywhere as long as they can play football. That's why there are many young talents who are very potential there, you could say they already have natural talent with their environmental habits. And they hone it by joining a soccer school or something like that, which makes their talents will be channeled properly.
They are indeed many who are born with talent and it is a very potential young seed that is in Brazil.

In Brazil you can find many people with high talents they can have good performance in the next years when they get older but the problem with these people is they don't have good coaches to guide them. That's how Brazil loses talent they have because of the weak management they have, while other countries and especially the European countries will try to develop all the talent they have.
That's how Brazil is losing its power in the world.

Brazil must start paying more attention to their young talents, because there are many children born with great talent in the world of football. I'm sure if they can focus more on that, then they will again become a very feared country. Now they are also a country that is considered a lot, but lately they are declining.
It's unfortunate when they have high potential but can't utilize it very well, it's the same as throwing away the assets they have. Not many countries have the potential that they have in football.

Chelsea and Manchester United ruining your bet?
I think you are taking too much risk when you put Chelsea and Manchester United in your bet. I don't know why I recently or even from last season always think long when going to bet on Manchester United and Chelsea. And actually this is something annoying for me, because when I bet on them, they will lose, and when I don't bet, then they win. It's unbelievable to me. Lol
If you can win, the odds will be very favorable. No problem, just not yet. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thanks for the advice! No Chelsea and Manchester United in my future multibets. We'll see how it's going to work out for me. Anyway, it's all for fun, innit? Smiley

Congrats, everyone who was rooting for Newcastle! I can imagine how you feel, guys. Smiley
Yes, we should wait for their performance to return to their best and stabilize. Honestly, I bet a lot on them before, before the state of these two clubs was not as bad as what we see now. But now I have reduced or even not bet on them and I also don't remember the last time I bet on these two clbs.
Yes, it's just for fun, but the disappointment can't be hidden, especially since it was foiled by the two "big" clubs who are not doing well at the moment.
Newcstle are back after a while of struggling, which is a good move.
3611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 25, 2023, 11:34:23 AM
Bayern Munich and Leverkusen both are difficult to stop recently. It feels like we will watch a really competitive title race. Bayern Munich are already expected to maintain their title streak of course. But I have started wondering if Leverkusen can be the team to put an end to this streak finally. I would really love to see it truthfully.
I have also really wanted to see a different team win the Bundesliga championship trophy since last season, but this continues to fail because Bayern Munich is always consistent until the end of the season. And for this season I still hope for the same thing, where one of the teams in the Bundesliga apart from Bayern Munich will be able to win and get a trophy. But it still feels quite difficult to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga even though Bayer Leverkusen has done something so impressive at the start of this season.

Yes it is true that Bayern Munich is indeed a very strong squad and can always dominate the title at the end of the season, and this has always happened since the past few years. Until now Tuchel's squad is still the team that won the most Bundesliga titles at the end of the season, it's true that I also indirectly want to see several other clubs win this competition, not always Bayern Munich. But what can make every season Bayern Munich appear very good indeed and they have a consistent performance in every match, besides that I think luck is also always in favor of Bayern Munich as happened last season which initially I thought Dortmund would be able to break the dominance of Bayern Munich as defending champions but well in the end they failed.

For this season, I initially thought Bayern Munich would fail because as we saw from the start of the match Leverkusen were able to secure the top of the standings and Tuchel's squad was below them, but well surprising things happened. Especially with Kane now there, so of course this team will be even stronger, they are at the top now, and it is clearly very difficult to break the title dominance of this one club.
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: September 25, 2023, 11:12:24 AM

A kind of gesture where being responsible can be obtained if you know how to plan ahead of time, not really easy though there are some who can manage to enjoy and balance both gambling and their regular activities, it's always important to weight everything as gambling can really lead you to deeper addiction if you continue to allow things dominate inside you.

Emotion always has that factor in dealing with gambling, instead of making some decent wins, if you allow emotion to takeover chances
of losing everything back together with your initial deposit, mostly lose accompanied by the money that's supposedly you earn if you wisely quit before emotion rule you out.
In other words, responsible behavior in gambling is also the most important thing, summing up your opinion above, that a gambler who experiences defeat or victory must be able to regulate and balance when gambling again, with good awareness and self-control of course. he will make new plans in gambling to avoid losing, of course.
Inadvertently a person's emotions will appear suddenly if he experiences defeat, because he cannot accept it yet, and when that happens of course he must think as clearly as possible, at times like that a person must exercise self-control, if not, then he will get into a lot of trouble in it.
Come on, guys, let's stop pretending. Responsible behavior? Please, not everyone has it. It's easy to preach moderation and restraint when you're not in the middle of a tense situation and losing money left and right. Good awareness? Pfft, that might all be thrown out the window tomorrow. You must quickly gain control of those feelings or else they will overwhelm you. Emotions after a defeat? They can make your world spin faster than a roulette wheel. Thinking clearly is the last thing on your mind, but it's the first thing you need to do. Yes, it's challenging, even harsh. But hey, nobody said life was a piece of cake, did they? Pull yourself together, make those new arrangements, and for the love of God, don't repeat the same errors. Just being honest here

Right I agree with you, responsible behavior? obviously not everyone can do it, I think maybe only a small percentage of gamblers are able to apply it. Realizing that losing is a natural thing there, of course it's better, but I think there must be more who don't accept that result. A very bad goal and mindset will certainly lead you to a bad situation, in fact it is quite difficult to bring out a sense of awareness when they are completely dominated by lust and emotions because of defeat.

Even experienced gamblers sometimes find it difficult to accept that fact, as I said above and it depends on their goals and mindset. If they come to earn then I'm sure no matter how hard you try to accept the risk it won't fully work. maybe it's nonsense, I think you need the help of others to realize you are lost. I think it's better to learn from your mistakes, and I'm sure you don't want to end up in the same situation. Therefore, it is very important to bring normal thoughts and goals, gambling just for fun is better mate, so you will be fine with it.
3613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: September 25, 2023, 10:23:38 AM
In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low.
Yeah, that's true about winning but it also varies from time to time. If you're here to make cash then you expect that you're also about to lose so, if you're going to have the ratio of winning and losing, losing has that higher ratio than winning. And you don't have to be putting all that you can into gambling and the same goes for the hope that you'll make quick cash on it.

I'm sure that because in gambling there is no guarantee of certainty, it is true that in terms of winning it also varies greatly, the budget you bring really doesn't matter, no matter how much capital you bring, you still won't be able to know the statistics of how much you will win, and maybe we can only guess. Agreed, if there are some who come with the aim of earning then it is very clear to say that defeat will always dominate them, because something that is only limited to luck will always make the brain and mind always curious and obviously the percentage of victory will be lower than victory, because the house creates a system only for their own benefit and the gamblers who are made victims.

I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.
It is in the books. About tricks or you mean strategies, they're there but it just so happens that they're not going to work at most times. We've got luck yes and it's part of gambling but you can't be too depended on it because you will not know if you're lucky this or not.

I think it's just a waste of your time, do you believe in all these methods or strategies? I think by understanding that gambling is only limited to luck, you should be able to think with your common sense that of course whatever strategy you bring will not have an effect because it is clear and very real that it is only about luck, therefore as you said this often does not work. I think this fact is very clear, and maybe it's just that you are too much by adding a lot of ways and believe that it will work, but in fact it's nonsense and still lose.
3614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 25, 2023, 10:01:38 AM
It's not bad, the effect of gambling depends on the gambler itself on what's his mindset when playing. Is it to have fun and to be entertained? or to gain huge? If the latter is the reason, then expect that you'll experience the negative sides of playing with high expectation.

Anyway, when you say Bitcoin, are you an investor? If so, we all know that the future is uncertain (though crypto enthusiasts are bullish on its future). If that gives you light as you claimed, so be it. But keep in mind that even in Bitcoin, profits are not guaranteed therefore not something to rely on to say you find the right path. It's not gambling but there's a similarity that can disappoint a trader/investor once the outcome is not what they expected it to be.
Yes, your thinking when gambling or doing any high-risk activity affects the outcome and your emotions. Like buying a movie ticket, financial losses might be viewed as entertainment costs if one enters it for enjoyment. Focusing on enjoyment over gains may protect against financial losses.

In your Bitcoin and investing example, future unpredictability is huge. However, cryptocurrencies are volatile, so although great gains are possible, so are large losses. Diversifying assets reduces risk for even experienced investors.

Its important to be realistic about gambling and cryptocurrency trading, knowing the hazards and not overestimating the possible benefits. Learning and knowledge are your constant partners in these realms.

Of course it is very clear, the mindset that we bring of course will greatly affect how you are when you are there, especially in terms of gambling that is very high risk. If you come with the wrong mindset and goals then obviously the negative impact will definitely be felt, so it is very important to prepare everything that can balance your profits and losses, it will be very useful to minimize everything you might not want. In gambling the most important thing is a healthy mind and good control, I am sure if you can apply limits and agree that this is just a place of entertainment, then you will be able to survive.

In terms of uncertainty yes I agree, gambling and investment are almost the same for the problem of uncertainty in the future because we cannot fully predict what will happen, but in terms of investment maybe well there is very volatile but you can do some of the best ways you have to increase your chances of profit, and well in this method problem is very different from gambling which is just pure luck.

That's right, being realistic and thinking with normal logic is very important, in my opinion if they really understand the risks and really don't overdo it then surely they will stay safe there.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 25, 2023, 09:36:36 AM
Well it's going to be next to impossible for gamblers especially those with high levels of addiction out there, but I'm not saying it can't be done it's just that it's very unlikely if they can let go of all the temptations that come their way. But I think the difficulty or ease of quitting depends on the gamblers themselves, meaning their level of addiction, if they are just regular gamblers and not too ambitious then I think quitting will not be too difficult for them because they are still in a fairly safe zone with a mind that is still a little sober, but I say it's difficult only for those who are really addicted to the point that they can't miss a day of gambling, they continue to do it with hopes that are actually just nonsense.

Well that's right buddy, gamblers who are already addicted can hardly stop with just - just, they need a lot of help from some psychologists who can normalize their minds again, and of course the impact is not only for themselves but as we discussed according to the title above that the people closest to them will also definitely at least feel the negative impact. This is an example that should be used as a lesson by most gamblers, especially those who have just come, I hope they can see how bad the person is if they are too excessive in gambling, change your mindset.
There is no problem if you're just the casual type of gambler who wants to spend a couple of bucks enjoying some dice or playing poker at a table and then when you're out of money, you're out as well. That's not an issue for some gamblers that know what they do and the limit that they're setting for themselves. The real problem starts when you gamble, you're also putting your heart and emotion on it and just like in relationships, you're not noticing that the actual relationship that you have are heavily affected when you're already out of yourself.

Yeah and that's the way it should be guys, obviously it's not a problem if they're just there for leisure on their day off and of course on top of that if they're responsible gamblers then if they end up losing they'll stop and leave and play again on their next day off when they have money they can account for if they lose. As we know that anyone should be like that, come only for entertainment and never more than that, then I make sure they will survive and will not be too down like other people who are addicted in general.

Well that's right, the problem point usually occurs when they experience defeat, they come with the wrong mindset in the sense of gambling for income and obviously that is a very wrong assumption, how can you come to make money in a place that is only limited to luck, it makes no sense. And well when they lose then they will definitely continue to chase victory to replace the defeat in the previous time, that's what usually happens when most of them end up experiencing addiction.

Napoli lost points again.

Rudy Garcia will have not long life here if he continues like this, I'm not sure he will arrive at Xmas with Napoli.
The third time they had to end the match without getting full points, and it must be recognized that Napoli's performance has decreased. I can even say that this result is a fair result, because even Bologna can match the game from Napoli.
Rudy Garcia's name will be a hot topic of conversation after they experience this, because this is a different Napoli from the Napoli we saw last season. I will not be surprised when Napoli officially announce they will end cooperation with this coach.

Come on guys, you can understand more of what I said before. I said that they throw money "when" there is no impact for their league, and here what they do has a positive impact and that is from various things one of which is popularity.
It's part of the process, and I would consider it a very natural thing when money is the first step to doing something bigger. Moreover, they have the ability, yes we know they are rich entrepreneurs who are already known to many people.

I don't see anything wrong with them popularising their championship with big money. Any PR campaign requires a huge amount of money, and they only had to spend really big money once - on Ronaldo. And after his move to the league, other big names started coming in, but for less money, but still huge for the football world, it's like a domino effect, and very positive.
Actually, this is the first step they took, I'm sure they are already preparing for the next step in making a breakthrough as we know it today. Maybe in terms of popularity, it is very difficult to beat the popularity of leagues in Europe such as the Premier League, but what they are doing now is definitely making them more known to many people. And I'm sure even this forum didn't follow the SPL at first, but after this buzz we started to pay attention and started watching or even betting on SPL matches.

The meeting between these two clubs will always be with high tension, yes that's because in addition to playing they also risk prestige if they have to lose in a derby match like this. Real Madrid come with the target of extending their winning record in La Liga this season, while Atletico Madrid want to break the winning streak achieved by Real Madrid this season.
I think Atletico Madrid will provide more escort for a J Bellingham, not without reason, but they do it because J Bellingham is a player who can be a difference for Real Madrid. In their Champions League match alone this player became the hero of Real Madrid's victory.
Atletico Madrid can not only guard Bellingham, but all Real Madrid players are very dangerous. I believe Atletico Madrid has home advantage in today's derby, but Real Madrid remains the favorite considering their good form so far. I suspect Real Madrid can win this match and the worst possible result is a draw.

Real Madrid will not accept defeat because they really want to lead the standings from the first to the end of the season. A draw would obviously be bad for them, but the possibility of it is always there. However, there are slight differences in the line-up and Ancelotti's strategy in this match. Bellingham, who has played as an attacking midfielder in his last 6 matches, is trusted as a striker to accompany Rodrygo. Ancelotti played Modric as an attacking midfielder, while Kross, Camavinga and Valverde played as central midfielders and defensive midfielders.
Ancelotti must prepare for the players who will come from the second line, I mean when the players who have been the difference in the past are tightly guarded, Real Madrid must pass other players who can replace the role. Usually when a club focuses on one player or one who is very dangerous, it creates a space that can then be exploited by other players who are not heavily guarded.
The variety of attacks must also come from all directions, because when there are difficulties in penetrating the opponent's defense, they will still have many ways. And one of them will definitely boil down to the midfielder who will be the creator in this match.

I keep hearing that this or that country is not great in football because they don't have enough money.

In reality, there are examples of countries that are great in football and are very poor, Brazil being the most extreme case. Many of the players in Brazil grew up playing football without shoes, and even without food some days. Still, Brazil is the most successful country in the World Cup history.

Most South American teams share a similar story.

So, there is the proof that you don't need money to be the best in football

I am not sure about this. Brazil is a relatively prosperous nation, at least when compared to Asian and African nations. But it is true that there are quite a few informal settlements in Brazil (known as Favelas, with a total population of close to 11-12 million spread across 6,000+ localities), where the living standards are too low. But these sort of ghettoes can be found even in developed nations such as the United States and France. That doesn't mean that those who live there face too many obstacles in developing their game.

What makes football in Brazil great even though it is categorized as a poor country is, they are poor economically but they are very advanced in football. I think it is not suitable when Brazil's poverty is used as a reference as a poor country that is advanced in football. You can see that clubs in Brazil's top league often win the Libertadores and are often finalists in the Club World Cup. This means they have everything in football. At least Brazil has many talent scouts from various clubs or even from Europe, unlike countries in Asia and Africa where it is very difficult to penetrate the national level due to the lack of football facilities in those countries.
Football is the most popular sport there, I have seen many videos circulating on social media showing almost every child already playing football there, not only on the field but also anywhere as long as they can play football. That's why there are many young talents who are very potential there, you could say they already have natural talent with their environmental habits. And they hone it by joining a soccer school or something like that, which makes their talents will be channeled properly.
They are indeed many who are born with talent and it is a very potential young seed that is in Brazil.

Draw is a fair result to be honest. It's Saka vs. Son and both parties were lucky in their goals. Too many defensive personal mistakes happened. Nketiah was lucky to finish without red card. The result is acceptable for both teams, their unbeaten series are going on. If we were to list the matches in which it's possible not to get 3 points during the season, both sides would find 1 point in this match acceptable.
Overall the game was evenly matched, so I also agree that it was a fair result for both clubs. Arsenal and Tottenham I think played well and even though Arsenal could take the lead, Tottenham could come back, and even the second goal that Arsenal scored could be answered in a very short period of time. Son H Min became a very influential player in this match, yes the 2 goals he created forced Arsenal to only be able to reach a draw at their own headquarters. Both clubs both do not want to lose points.
