3861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 25, 2023, 10:27:40 PM
Sometimes we say that some people are not essential in a team, but sometimes things are not entirely true, if there are things and people that are very good to see for the world of football and especially for a club, personally, Allegri is a person who will always make a difference in a team and if he is loved and accepted by his players and they adapt to his system, then he is someone who needs to stay, I want Allegri to stay, over there I had heard a rumor where They said they wanted to take Alelegri to Saudi football, but if he stays at Juve, which needs him so much, it seems perfect to me.
Allegri seems to prefer to stay at Juventus because he is already comfortable there. In fact, he has rejected an offer from the Al-Hilal club, which is ready to pay € 30 million per season if Allegri is willing to become Al-Hilal's coach. But Juventus were very lucky because Allegri was not interested in the Arab League and chose to stay longer with Juventus. I can't imagine how Juventus would be without Allegri. Because Juventus have experienced good times and bad times with Allegri. Allegri continues to be loyal there. Allegri is like a coach who is difficult to separate from Juventus. even if we hear the word Juventus, we will automatically remember the name Allegri there.

Fortunately, Allegri decided to stay, it is a great incentive for them, Allegri needs to move that team forward, to make them great again, I have seen that Juve has increased the level a bit, I don't know if it is due to financial problems, the sanctions, there are so many things that can happen in a club that sometimes we don't know, I want to see that Juve like when Buffon, CR7, Dyabala were there, they were very good and could have won everything, at this moment they can do it, the Italian teams are getting better and better They are reaching the finals of the competitions, maybe they don't have the same publicity support as in the PL, but it's really worth it to be there.

Napoli don't need to make big changes to their squad. Filling the places of the players who have left will be enough for them to be competitive for the Serie A title once again. For example they have lost a very important member in the defense line. Kim Min-jae has signed for Bayern Munich officially as you know.

They had better shift their focus to finding another solid and credible defender in his place. Other than that they should do their best to not lose other two crucial players who are Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia. As long as the squad integrity is maintained highly it will all be up to Rudi Garcia's creating a strong bond with the team to go for success.

Exactly! I think like you too, Napoli must absolutely cover up for Kim's absence in their defence. Rudi Garcia knows the Italian championship well and I think he will show good performances with Napoli this season, they have to defend the title of Italian champions moreover, but above all Napoli must also compete in the Champions league and therefore some reinforcements in midfield will be needed

Well I also think something, if they lose Osimhen things could look ugly and almost lost, I wouldn't dare to say that they will lose, because I could be wrong, in fact I could be completely wrong, but according to many sources they say that Osimhen wants to stay at Napoli and do great things with the team, so this is a reassurance for all the fans and team members. However, we cannot download offers, the ones that come and go, perhaps from a team from Europe or why not from the Middle East, because they are launching tremendous offers with a large amount of money, and this makes the eyes of any footballer shine.

As soon as they saw the offer they made to Mbappé it was something too extraordinary, there he does not accept it, but PSG is happy to sell it and forget about the player, apparently that very happy marriage of Mbappé + PSG broke up, that is why good players must take advantage of every opportunity and see what is best for them and for their future, obviously money helps a lot and can make anyone's life better.

IF Osimhen wants to go to a team like Bayern or another , for now I don't think so, there is a lot of talk about next season, where there will be many movements , especially the most prominent players, there was talk of a possible Kane if Bayern doesn't get it, there is talk of Mbappé towards a Madrid that I don't really see him there , why not ? an Osimhen that can change Everything.

Victor Osimhen: Future uncertain for proposed Mbappé replacement as contract talks continue



Quote
According to TuttoNapoli’s recent report on the 24-year-old’s future, discussions between the player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, and the president of his present club have been going on for five days.

However, an agreement has not been reached due to difficulties surrounding the salary size and establishing an exit clause, which Osimhen is said to be requesting.

The situation has proven complex, but there has been no indication of a complete breakdown in communication between the parties involved.

While Paris Saint-Germain looms as a potential threat to lure the former LOSC Lille forward out of Naples as Kylian Mbappe’s future, it is not ruled out that Osimhen may decide to remain with his current club without renewing his contract, according to reports.

The uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s future has raised speculation and intrigue among football enthusiasts and clubs alike.

The Super Eagles striker’s impressive performances and goal-scoring prowess have caught the attention of several top clubs, making his contractual situation a focal point of interest in the transfer market.

-snip-

Well, it is obvious that each person has a way of thinking about CR7, personally if I consider that he is one of the best in the world, what does his temperament have? Yes but why? because he wants to win all the time, which he will say, if you are in the Portugal team you have to give it all, that nothing is left, that your soul remains on the field, as it should be, it is your country that you are representing, And when he sees that his teammates don't give it their all, he gets like that, and I understand it, how many of us haven't gotten like that when we play soccer and see that others don't feel like it? are we happy? maybe when you play for the sake of playing, but in a championship you have to give everything, and that he has played 700 legal games with his country, that he scored the goal, that is worth seeing, for me he is still the best in the world next to Messi , and personally no other player of the quality of the two of them has come out.
I know that and forever Ronaldo will remain an idol and a legend in the history of Portuguese football.
While playing for the Portugal national team, Ronaldo scored 122 goals in 198 matches and this is an extraordinary achievement that Ronaldo has given to the Portugal national team.
But on the other hand, from his great achievements, he is also often a controversial player and has always been a hot topic of conversation by all football fans and observers.

I never really liked Ronaldo.... Yes, of course as a player he is one of the best in the world, but his behaviour in the team did cause a lot of controversy.... There were even rumours that when he played at Real Madrid, he could tell the coach which player would play and which would not be in the team.... But luckily now there is a new generation of good footballers growing up in the Portuguese national team....

Well, it's respectable, we all have a perception of the players, and we can issue an opinion, at first when CR7 made himself known I didn't like his style, I thought he was a very self-centered person and that bothered me, besides I didn't like him because he cried a lot, according to this one creates a perception of a player, after seeing his plays I liked his plays better because he showed a style almost free style and he was not afraid of any player, after I saw a little more of him, as he was, his personality, charity work was something that I liked and I determined that he is not a bad person, at some point when we as players go to play soccer we come across people who believe a lot and dislike them, but They turn out to be good people.

There are fans of CR7 who hate Messi, and fans of Messi who hate CR7, what they don't know is that they are two great legends that we should take advantage of our times so that we can enjoy more of their plays.

I agree with you guys on UEFA Nations League. It is a garbage tournament and needs to be shelved. If they want, they can expand the Euro Cup. But the Nations League is pure rubbish. Anyway, how can we even follow a tournament that is spread out across two years? And what is the need for such a tournament when we have the Euro Cup? If they still want to retain the Nations League, then they should change the format to super-cup (i.e all the matches being playoffs with no group stage), and complete the tournament in one to two weeks.

If I'm not mistaken, the Nations League tournament was suppose to replace friendly games that were played. Those games had small number of spectators so UEFA wanted to make them more competitive. The problem with that is there is no clear goal that nations are fighting for in the Nations League. If they change the format to super-cup (knockout games), then all nations that drop out will have to play friendly games. That defeats the purpose of the Nations League.

I'm not saying that I enjoy watching Nations League games. They would definitely be more attractive if there was more incentive for nations to win.

One way that I have thought of making this tournament worthwhile, which is not bad, but I think that sometimes there are opportunities that coincide with great competitions is that they give incentives, for example, the country that wins the Nations League to be given a place in the World Cup, that is a good incentive and that would raise the nicvl of this competition, I think that if it does something like that it will stop being rubbish, although that is not descriptive for me, but I understand why what they say

This is very similar when they do the Euro, or when they do the Copa América in South America, they don't give incentives, it doesn't make any sense to win the Copa América if they say they are the champions of the Americas, but without places in the World Cup, it can happen that a team X wins the Copa América but does not qualify for the World Cup and it has happened, the same thing happens with the Euro and the Nations League, so it would be interesting if they put it to use in that way, winning the trophy and a place in the World Cup.

Personally, I always like to watch the matches in Europe, the countries have a high level, especially the team that gives the most talk, in this case I think everyone, I would like Italy to play a good role, because Italian football is one of the most beautiful and hardest in the world, the history of Il Calcio is beautiful.
3863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight (july15,2023 on: July 25, 2023, 08:52:29 PM

So we might listen to their predictions and what not and analysis. But as bettor I think we should know better and bet on the boxer that we think we should win the fight base on our own analysis. But with Donaire vs Santiago, I will go with the popular opinion that Donaire will beat Santiago and win the WBC bantamweight again.

Donaire could be wrong because, in the first place, he was mistaken when he believed he could beat Inoue. He was defeated twice, and that's a statement that Inoue is truly unbeatable. I'm not sure what the basis of his prediction is, but if it's solely because Inoue has moved up to a heavier weight, I doubt that's significant enough to affect his chances.

That's his personal opinion, though. Despite that, people may not change their minds and would still bet on Inoue. Let's just follow the trend since Inoue is one of the most popular boxers in the world; a loss would be detrimental to his career. So, let's consider that we are betting on his future, and we can be sure that our money is worth it, regardless of the outcome.

Adding that he's also fighting in front of his own crowd, Japanese culture is also important for them and I'm sure there's
a weight on it and Inoue will do everything not to be embarrassed in front of those Japanese fans'.

Nothing will change on my opinion if you are betting for Inoue, A word from a former opponent, can't vouch a possible outcome of the fight.

Inoue will be tested and by knowing him, always love to accept the challenge and excel from the expectations.


Inoue is the kind of boxing who loves to fight strong boxers that can challenge him to evolve more than what he is right now and maybe that is why he is called a monster in the first place. Also, I think it will be hard to go against him because we saw him numerous times that he can really improvise to keep up with his opponents and in the mid rounds, he is giving more than what his opponent is giving which is also part of the reason why he is upsetting the favorites that he fought when he was still making his name.

I really can't deny what you're saying, because here Inoue represents the typical boxer who wants to exceed his limits and as he is, I think he loves the sport and is willing to do whatever it takes to be the best of all time, I don't know if I'm exaggerating, but the things that he has done, no boxer does, and he does them with great mastery, so this highlights things.

Every boxer has his limits and knows his abilities, but really when I see Inoue in the ring, I think he has not even used 50% of his ability, that is why he demands a lot, when going up in category, because he could be affected, because he has to get used to his body, let's see how he does with Fulton.

LOL, how this turn out to be Inoue vs Fulton thread? Stay on the topic guys, this thread is about Donaire vs Santiago fight.

And with that, this fight is just a few more days, so let's start betting if you haven't done so. I have Donaire here to win by knockout. Odds are very good at 2.95 so my money goes with that.

I'm thinking that Donaire can still pull the trigger and doesn't want this fight to go over to 12 rounds as he might get tired. So it's better for him to start hard like his previous fight and aim for a KO/TKO.

Hehe Grin I think that it was just an honest mistake because Inoue's name has been always involved whenever we're talking about Nonito Donaire specially after he gave his speculations towards the Inoue vs Fulton fight because surprisingly, Donaire made his own prediction and sided with Stephen Fulton despite the fact that he was defeated twice by Inoue.

Anyway, I already pushed my bets on this fight, and I got Donaire to win via KO as well because to be honest, the moneyline wasn't that tempting.

And it turns that Donaire was wrong as Inoue beats Fulton via TKO.

We can go back to the topic now and forget about what Donaire said about the possibility of Fulton to win the fight, now it's
almost the fight day for Donaire, still the ML is sweet and @ 1.61 and over 10.5 @ 2.43, if you are a fan and you are unsure
if Donaire may or may not KO his opponent, those two options may suit you.

It is very true, now Donaire is better to stay as a boxer and not as a predictor of results, he has to update himself a little more in the capacities of each boxer, personally I think that Nonito should focus very well on his fight, I really don't know if there will be a KO in Nonito's fight, but here the most likely thing is that if Nnoito wants to excel he has to give everything, and he has had a very good time to train, I always I have believed that a boxer wins his penis not in the ring, but in training, that is where it is decided who is the best, they can do and say a lot about the rest, but when they give details of the training it is a plus that should be used to the maximum.

Regarding Nonito's possible fights, it is very good to think that if he manages to win this one, the paths will open up for him in an impressive way, I hope so, I like this boxer.

One of the things I have noticed is that in boxing they are not taking veteran boxers very much into consideration, even though they are very necessary in fights, now I know that there are many young people, but nothing like those from the old school, I am a fan of boxing where I like to see a well-seasoned fight, with almost no technical details, because the technical details make a fight look somewhat boring, however this is valid.

A interesting article:

Nonito Donaire: Still Going Strong

Quote
he boxing legend is out to capture yet another world title when he battles Mexico’s Alexandro Santiago Saturday night on the Spence-Crawford blockbuster card, live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.

As if any another reason was needed to hit the “Order Now” button this Saturday, July 29, future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire will be in a battle for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship. That night, on the undercard of the highly anticipated undisputed welterweight championship showdown Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, Donaire, the popular Filipino star, faces rugged Mexican contender Alexandro Santiago live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’m coming to take that belt home and there’s no second option for me,” said Donaire, who has been a champion longer than Santiago has been a pro. The number of championship matches he has been in nearly matches the total number of fights that Santiago has been in.

While Donaire was facing off against legends like Naoya Inoue and Carl Frampton, Santiago was fighting in Tijuana bars on cards that featured no ten rounders. But he’s not taking Santiago lightly.

“I’ve brought in some really fast fighters who have helped me prepare, and my team has really focused on giving me some defensive pointers,” said Donaire. “I can’t wait to get in there.”

Santiago, an aggressive fighter who can slip and counter with the best, shares Donaire’s enthusiasm. The last time he fought for a title, against Jerwin Ancajas for the IBF Super Flyweight title in 2018, the judges could not decide on a winner. Since that split-decision draw, his hunger has grown.

“He’s about to be a father,” one of his trainers, Romulo “Bobby” Quirarte Jr. told the Mexican press last month. “He’s been patient,” he added. “He’s worked a long time.”

Hopefully, everyone by now has put their bets on this fight, Crawford is still the favourite as far as betting odds. But we all know that this is going to be a very close fight!!!

I think many of us are excited, for a while I wanted to see not only Spence and Crawford, I also liked seeing Inoue in action, all the controversy that has been unleashed with Fulton, the things a boxer can say are great, he is also in charge of welcoming this boy, and boy is Inoue showing that nothing is too big for him, not to mention the Crawford and Spence fight, when the news came out I remember posting it on the forum, and everyone believed it was fake. news, in fact I even questioned myself, but luckily it was true of the fight.

So shortly into this, I recognize that Crawford here has always been looking for this fight, and I think he deserves this fight, he needs it, lifting his spirits is one of the things that he really requires, and he's been looking for it for over 2 years, so I think it's time for Crawford to make this request count.

Well, a lot is expected from this fight, I think that the winner here will undoubtedly be Crawford, I also think that this boxer has been dreaming of that moment, I have no doubt, but I think that things can be done very well, also as I said, CVrawford has been looking for this fight for a long time, it was about time that it could finally be done, if in any case he does not win the fight, I know what arguments the boxer could give, but he should do it with force gum.

Today's fight was very good with that of Inoue and Fulton, now the other good event that we have left is that of Spence and Crawford, I really feel lucky this week, which has been full of great boxing matches.

^^ If I'm not mistaken, it should be in their contract to have blood testing under the WADA so ensure that both are clean. And for obvious reason, it will be random, and so they shouldn't complain about the one that is going to take their blood sample at any time, regardless if they are sleeping then they have to wake up. So there should be no issue. But I guess boxers doesn't want to have their blood taken, not sure what is the reason for that. Maybe it break their momentum or it's more psychological for them. And if you are clean then why you wouldn't be afraid of it? Doesn't make sense at all.

Agreed. These are all rumors to keep the fans' attention. Similar to mainstream news, these sportsnews media outlets also sometimes do not have anything to write anymore, so they begin creating rumors.

In any case, the thread should have a poll. There might only be 3 voters for Fulton including me hehehe. It is head scratching why the champion's odds is 3.70 because it will be Inoue's first time to fight in super bantamweight, Fulton is also bigger, more athletic and has an intelligent jab which could be a problem for the Japanese fighter.

My present prediciton. This might be a split decision win for Stephen Fulton.

If only this fight will be held in Las Vegas, I would go the same with your pick. Don't have anything against Japan but whenever their boxers fight in their backyard they always win via decision, seldom I could see a foreigner wins by decision. A fight of this magnitude and if ever this goes to the full twelve rounds, I have Inoue the winner.



^^ Still a juicy odds i think.
There is no doubt that there will always be favoritism, the house always has to give its place, and therefore it must help its own patriot, however, here we are talking about Inoue, and he is a very, very good boxer, we all know that, I don't think there is that much help, maybe the public, is what I can say that can help, but in this case things can happen in different ways, first if he was in Las Vegas, Inoue will do the same job, and as we all know, as is his style, it is It seems to me or more I sense that Inoue should train day and night, because a boxer with that level his training should be daily bread, personally Inoue gave a formidable performance of how to fight, I admire Fulton's position, he endured, but you have to see that the Japanese gave a demonstration of good boxing.

Naoya Inoue finishes Stephen Fulton Jr., now 4-division champ after dazzling performance



Quote
A great fighter was never greater.

Naoya Inoue didn’t simply beat a bigger, capable opponent in Stephen Fulton Jr. on Tuesday night in Tokyo. He embarrassed the now-former 122-pound titleholder before finally putting him out of his misery, delivering an unforgettable eighth-round knockout to cap a sublime performance.

In the process, Inoue became a four-division champion. Perhaps more important, he bolstered the argument that he’s the best fighter on the planet.

“I returned all my [118-pound] belts to become a super bantamweight champion,” Inoue said through a translator as he stood in the ring afterward. “All I was thinking about was a fight against [Fulton] this year. … I’m so happy right now.”

3866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: July 24, 2023, 09:22:44 PM
Seeing it from a higher point of view, yes, a casino when it starts some appeals to capitalize with the money of its players, and that is a practice that seems very reckless to me, because when launching a casino they do not have enough money to endure certain losses, and as there are always whales that enter and play with a large amount of money, because sometimes there can be some cases where you can't do more, so there are many casinos that here in the forum appeal to that, they do badly but they don't declare bankruptcy, but they insist and then start with the withdrawal problems.


All these withdrawal problems and casinos going bankrupt can be checked if only bettors research on reputable casinos that have stayed a long time. Those that have license also is important because they would have gone through a registration requirements were there start up capital would have been investigated to see how much they can carry but before a casino goes down there are signs you could notice especially if there are series of backlog of awaiting withdrawal. Again, someone need to be careful with new casinos since they are barely starting, they might have nothing to lose if they don't pay big wins .
That is why most gamblers avoid playing at brand new casinos. Besides the risk of the casino being a scammer from the beginning, there is also the risk the casino is legit, but doesn't have a decent bankroll size to afford the initial big wins from whales, which are susceptible to happen on short term. That lack of funds can be a logistical mistake from casinos' developers and managers, although they have real intentions to stay on the industry for a long time.

What can help the house to prevent this kind of issue is to set a maximum bet size proportional to the maximum amount the currently have on their bankroll. So, the bigger the bankroll of the casino, the higher maximum bets will be.
Every time new casinos arrive on the forum, somehow we see that we have to be careful, some wait to see what Reviews some casinos or casino experts can take, and give their opinion. Normally this happens because new casinos can come very honest or not very honest, because there are already many cases where what they do is demand a deposit and if people win then when they make excuses for not withdrawing it is an index of a casino that is not trustworthy, I think that is what it is about I do not see any other explanation, you should be careful with each new one casino, because we don't know how his finances are.

This is just one type of case that can happen, currently things for casinos that want to scam do it anyway, it is not that only casinos that are relatively new are the ones that are in danger of being a scam, there are casinos that have time, that can go through many problems and that have no way to capitalize, some choose to tell the truth and retire on top, but there are others that do not, who look for excuses and do not pay, in the end they end up in scams, one should always have or try to have a clinical eye for it, of course this also depends on the degree of experience that the person has.

In an Off topic note, this reminds me of the discovery program called "Airport Alert" where officials have a clinical eye to detect people who have to detect drugs or enter a country illegally, something like that is what some players have to decipher when a casino is fraudulent or not.

3867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 24, 2023, 07:50:02 PM
Real Madrid would definitely be a better choice for Mbappe than PSG. Mbappe was in PSG for a long time. Although he won the Ligue 1 title, he could not win the Champions League. Moreover, Mbappe did not win the Ballon d'Or. Joining Real Madrid would boost Mbappe's chances of winning the Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

If Mbappe does not renew his contract with PSG then PSG will not keep Mbappe in the team. The important thing is that Luis Enrique will not be interested in making Mbappe part of his match plan for just one season. This is why Mbappe will have to leave the club this season if his contract is not renewed. PSG may sell Mbappe to a Premier League team if Real Madrid is not interested in spending more money for Mbappe.
Mbappe not being part of the team is the best weapon that they have right now and they need to use that very well. I mean think about it, if he doesn't play then he is not going to worth that much neither and I believe that we are talking about a situation where dark things could happen. He is making this a problem of his own.

There are rumors about Real Madrid executives and staff members saying that Mbappe has to learn to be a football player again before he goes there. Which means that they are aware that he is just doing this for money and yes it is a business but why would anyone pay him that kind of money if he is only doing it for the money and not show any talent and cause drama in the locker room as well?

It is that Real Madrid is not interested in the player, they just want to make the transfer for free, it does not mean that they need it now, there is only one thing to say here, when Real Madrid wants something they get it, unless the player does not want to leave, otherwise money is not a problem for Madrid, what many have not made clear here is that Madrid does not want it, Mbappé already had an opportunity, he wasted it, so give him another chance for what? PSG already received a good offer for the French player, they want to sell him, but Mbappé insists that he doesn't want to go to Arabia, I don't understand why, he should do it, because staying on the bench or from the stands is not pleasant, he will lose shape, he will not be comfortable, and he is 24 years old and the years in football go by very quickly and as time goes by in Europe a player is almost considered "elderly", so Mbappé has already won Ghana Lots of drinks, I don't know why he insists so much on staying to play for Madrid, and if he gets to join Madrid and they don't make him a starter, what will he do?


I was confident Mbappe wouldn't choose a Saudi Arabian team thinking of signing a multi-year deal with them. However there is a really tempting offer on the table for him now. He can play for Al-Ahli for only one season and join Real Madrid right after that freely. In the meantime he will make tons of money varying from 200 million euros to 700 million.  Grin

It goes up to 700 million when we add commercial deals to his contract also. As the transfer fee offered to PSG was 300 million they directly accepted that. Now Al-Ahli are waiting for Mbappe's decision.

I believe the best thing to do for Mbappe now is to play for Al-Ahli one season to get this enormous package and join Real Madrid after that just as he has wanted to.

That is a very good option, because the truth is that Mbappé wants to go to Madrid anyway, but will Madrid accept him if he stays there for a season? If right now they are reluctant to accept it, the truth is that another season I don't think this player will have a chance at the white club, younger players are coming out every time who promise a lot, Madrid does not wait for anyone, I really like Madrid's motto, where they say that no player is above the Club, and I think Mbappé can have problems with that, at PSG the sheikh had him as the darling, he even made decisions, so a player like that, sometimes It can cause some problems in the club, because in Madrid the players who are missing will not let Mbappé come to command as he did in PSG, these things sometimes become delicate.

In addition, it is clear that PSG wants to get rid of him, when before they had a great marriage, so this type of thing is what makes anyone think, Florentino Pérez does not get complicated, he knows very well what he can attract, and which players are the type he is looking for, we all know that, I think Mbappé should accept going to the Middle East, maybe there if he has more decision-making power over a team, he will also play alongside very good players from Europe, he will not lose his level a.

PSG have of course accepted that gigantic transfer fee. They have already been open for multiple formulas as long as they make sense for themselves also. PSG have even been open for a loan option for Mbappe too. However this offer by Al-Hilal is a really sensible one. I think that PSG won't be the only side accepting it.

I'm expecting Mbappe also to accept that offer. Because it would be great for him as it won't affect his joining Real Madrid next season too. Al-Hilal offer him an option to be signed by Real Madrid for free next summer. Mbappe was already going to wait for one year to join Real Madrid most probably.

So the best option for Mbappe is to earn like 7 times his current salary in only one year and then join Real Madrid.
Well, this is a way of being able to leave Mbappé without giving him up to Real Madrid , because the sheikh did not want anything with them, he even gave the white club the highest rate, and in retrospect PSG tried to retain the player by making him sign a new contract, for me it is good that a player like Mbappé goes to Europe, he can do things very well in the Saudi League, also I come back and applaud what the Arabs are doing , this league is really going back more and more interesting, apparently the money and the star players who are leaving are something that must be Recognized that they are doing very well, if it is normal for some veteran players to go to this league, but Mbappé is relatively young and they are taking a new breath in this football.

The leagues in Europe are starting to lose key players, is this the new renaissance of fútbol? from the Middle East?

Some speculations say the following:

Mbappe will not join Al Hilal despite PSG being ready to accept €300 million offer



Quote
PSG, for their part, are eager to rush Mbappe’s sale as the longer the situation drags on, the weaker their position gets. To that end, they have been putting pressure on the Frenchman by various means, such as excluding him from the pre-season tour of Asia.

Mbappe, for his part, has not made any move despite all these developments and is training with several other outcasts in Paris. As for Real Madrid, they have also remained quiet on the matter despite their well-known interest in signing the superstar forward.

PSG are seemingly trying to force Los Blancos into action by potentially drumming up rumours of interest from Barcelona.

This player has had very good opportunities to leave PSG, the first was with Real Madrid, which he decided to stay at PSG, then he lost that opportunity, now they are giving him another opportunity to go to a football where he will have too high an income, and he does not want to leave, he is with Madrid's whim.

I don't know, but these things are unique in the world when they appear, it's a macro opportunity, because if an opportunity as big as this is passed up again, I don't think it will come back, or maybe it will, but not with so much money involved, if the player doesn't take advantage of these things it will be difficult later on, when he wants to leave, no club will want him.


And others are pronounced:

Miguel Delaney: A Kylian Mbappe 
move to Saudi Arabia would spark chain reaction across the transfer market




Quote
As eye-watering as the Al Hilal offer to Paris Saint-Germain for Kylian Mbappe may be, it is itself not a blind bid.

The Saudi Pro League club have for weeks been sounding out what it would actually take to bring him over. The Al Hilal president Fahad bin Nafel has been talking about the star to anyone who will listen – including in negotiations for other targets.

The Mbappe camp have let a few conditions be known, but they are still considering everything. The 24-year-old himself is said to still be almost single-minded about joining Real Madrid next summer and countenancing nothing else, but there may be a few complications before then.

That is the case with the entire transfer market right now, and this is finally a situation that brings the two major factors driving – or, really, halting – it together.

One is Saudi Arabian money, which has caused everyone to rethink their plans. The other is the striker market, which currently has a lot of interlinked interests.

The feeling is that one big deal will release everything, but the two biggest are log-jammed. It only adds to the intrigue that they are log-jammed for totally opposite reasons. Tottenham Hotspur do not want to sell Harry Kane. PSG are now desperate to sell Mbappe.

I don't know if you remember that when the QATAR game, well specifically the first game they played with Ecuador, there was a lot of speculation that the Qataris told the Ecuadorians that they were going to give them such a large amount of money that it would insure their lives and that of their families only after they let Qatar win, there was a lot of speculation almost for the first game, where Ecuador obviously won, this is something that impressed me , at least it impressed me , because I never knew if that was true or not.

This became a very strong rumor where it obviously caught the attention of the first World Cup match, these things usually get everyone's attention because when it comes to football and important matches, things in the world focus there and how is it done afterwards? Things in the world of football have put a lot of magnifying glass on it , since the things they did were discovered or came out, the corruption associated with the Blatter era that turned everything into a great revelation of things.

We as football fans know very well that things in football are still handled with some corruption, I think about VAR a lot more now that what they say cannot be made public , or what they say to the referee, we as humans make many mistakes, and those mistakes are easy to detect through technology, for this reason it is very delicate , I have faith and hope that possible cases of corruption can be fixed and dissuaded over time .

I don't know why Harry Kane so grab a big club like Munchen and PSG? is he good to bring Tottenham on top the premier league?.
because Tottenham is very bad in the previous session, That club didn't play on any Europa tournament and there's nothing special about the attacker. And I see Tottenham also proud to reject 70 million Euro from Munchen. Damn, this is the 1st time I see less talented players valued quite expensive in the industry, Bayern shouldn't spend a lot of money, because there are still many talented player which cheap value but good on tournament.


The truth is I don't see Kane as good, but if he stays at Tottenham the rest of his career would be wasted, personally I'd like him to go to Bayern, he's a player of that caliber, I don't see him in any other team, I don't see him at PSG, it could be that Mbappé stays and he doesn't really like him to shine, the Frenchman has shown that he doesn't like them to shine more than him, there he is with Messi, he left, now there's Ney, with many wanting to leave, epro would not look good if he stays with a Harry Kane hungry to be recognized and above all to win, the PSG scheme must also be reformed.

In fact, things with Harry Kane have been prospering a lot on the part of Bayern Munich, but a doubt assails me, I don't know if they already bought him, they made an agreement, or if he leaves for next season, which seems a bit shady to me, because Bayern really needs this player to be able to fill the gap of a Harry Kane, it's not easy, because apparently Tottenham want to keep him as a place, but many things have already been seen That Kane's family is looking for a place to move, which is a good indication, although it could be called gossip, or even a small rumor on the part of journalists, nothing official is known.

On the other hand, if this player goes to Bayern he would be playing in a UCL automatically, he could have a good chance to do things super well, and why not reach a UCL final, which I see as well deserved.

~Snip~
This season Chelsea will be more relaxed because it only focuses on local competitions this moment should be used to improve their performance to enter the top 5 Pochettino is not burdened with anything except bringing Chelsea up in the standings I think it's his luck as the new manager. It doesn't matter if Chelsea haven't brought in good players it would be better to wait until next season when they are ready to compete in the European league for now it is better for Chelsea to save expenses.
It is Pochettino job to bring Chelsea to a better ranking than they got last season, spending heavily in the transfer market shows Chelsea management wants changes in terms of club quality. The failure of the previous two coaches has taught Chelsea management a big lesson, Pochettino is expected to be able to make changes with the support of great players.
Chelsea who are absent from European competition, have fewer matches than other top clubs, no other factor can split Chelsea focus in the EPL. Pochettino must give his best in his first season in charge of Chelsea, succeeding in bringing Chelsea to finish in the top four is not too bad for Pochettino who is rebuilding a squad that slumped last season.

As I said before , I don't know how Pochettino could be calm now with that pressure that he has on this team, I don't know what an opera is, also the most seen thing in the world is that in this team with so many good players and they absolutely failed nothing, it's a shame for the coach , the truth is I wouldn't be very sure with Pochettino, and it's not to detract from it, but a team like Chelsea must be managed by someone like a Pep Guardiola ,  Zidane, people who know how to handle players at most  very stars , it is Difficult to put them to work well when there is so much talent.

The condition of the Manchester United team is not very good. The management of the team should identify the mistakes of the team and revamp the team, because the current performance of traditional team Manchester United team is very poor I think.
I want to know clearly what the bad management of the Manchester United team means, what do you think it looks like? because what we saw last season they won a Champions League ticket, then under the leadership of Erik Ten Hag the pattern of growth was quite good compared to the previous coach who was only able to lead Manchester United to the European League. Therefore you need to clarify again the bad team management? or rather not very optimal? maybe it makes sense because no team management is perfect.
Maybe he means that the owners are not fully supportive, and I would rather say that they should let Manchester United go if they want to see the Red Devils perform better. As for example in terms of the budget to bring in new players this season, 100 million is a budget that I think is not much money to bring in players who can provide a breath of fresh air to the game of Manchester United, as a result Erik Ten Hag must rack his brains so that they can get players who have good abilities with a modest budget.

The truth is, I have a very different opinion, personally I don't think the MU guys need good players, because they already have them, for me the problem is Ten Hag, I'm clear that he did better than the previous coach, but come on, they haven't won anything, nor do they have a chance in the PL, they couldn't win the Europ League, what does that mean? what is the team? Players? They have Garnacho, they have Bruno, they have a lot of warmth in the players, what do you think is wrong here? Directive? for not bringing which player? budget? no, for me things have to do with the coach, and until they understand it, the results will be bad.

They were flirting to bring in a Harry Kane, and that fell through, why? Maybe there is a lack of money, but there were no arguments that make a Harry Kane fall in love with going there, the administration is to blame, partly yes and partly no, I don't know if they are focused on selling the team that has good results in the team, and that is something that does affect, of course this is my personal opinion, for those who believe that Ten Hag has done well, I respect it, but for me the problem is there.
3872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 24, 2023, 03:23:57 PM
Sometimes we can't go home until our pocket was empty. Because of the time that we won, we then think that we are too lucky this day and gamble more, and in the end, we emptied our pockets.

Of course, we can't say it was our style because we are able to control our emotions but for most gamblers, this is what really happens. And to say that gamblers are always a loser, however, I do believe that we are happy doing this which is why we keep on gambling.
That makes us run out of money at the gambling table and often, we don't realize it has happened so fast. We thought we should be able to take the money home, so we used up more money instead. When we lose control of our emotions, we will play regardless of the remaining money in our pockets so that we will only suffer losses after the money is gone. And that also happens to many gamblers out there, so we must try to change everything to have self-control still and limit ourselves.
Putting some limits will not hurt anyone, especially in the gambling industry which is mostly addictive for many players. My opinion can be simply elaborated with few lines, just don't pay attention to the patterns and change the game style to avoid getting caught by casino AI. It is not something that can be proven but surely many gamblers can talk about the weird feeling after losing big. Something goes wrong and you keep increasing the bet size to recover as fast as possible which never happens for obvious reasons. That bad feeling when you are winning can be controlled with mastering yourself and teaching your body or mind the succesfully mindset. Patterns will not give gamblers any advantage btw.
Well, in that part you are absolutely right, you always have to change the game patterns, it is difficult because we are not machines, sometimes it is difficult for you to do certain analyzes because we apply a strategy several times because it is the one we know the most, if we change it faster we can experience losses, gains, whatever, and if we add all the strategies we will not leave much opportunity for the AI of a game to detect us, and or a way to be able to fool an AI and play very high, to luck without taking into account any pattern, just playing without following any logic , that makes us undetectable, more opportunity to win.

When we play we always apply our strategies, or let's say it's our way of playing, we will always follow a pattern or logic of ours to be able to win, or at least it's what we know as a winning strategy, what happens is that in casino games, when strategies are repeated they will always make us lose, the only way is to do things in different ways based on randomness in order to have a chance, I don't see any other way to do it, I think things can be like that.

Our patterns are always going to be different from those of the others, players are always going to have their master tactic, or that way of playing that always makes them win, because that's when one player joins the game and another sees it, there is always something to learn from each other, and if they have a lot of experience in the game, sometimes those things help because at least they know when they can retire and leave with a loss or a win.
3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: July 24, 2023, 02:39:00 PM
Speaking of dreams that make it a lucky sign to buy a lottery, I remember that a few days ago my relative got a big win of around $2,500 from buying a lottery with only a capital of no more than $1.
From his victory, he became the talk of the neighborhood where I live because the lottery purchase was at the land casino, not online.
He once told me that he had a dream given some money by an unknown parent then the next day he tried to buy a lottery and sure enough the numbers he put in the lottery came out exactly.

It's a little strange to associate dreams with gambling luck but after all that's what actually happened.

Honestly, I'm not surprised to hear from what you tell. I think there are many lottery connoisseurs who relate something to what is happening in their lives. one of the examples you mentioned. well, on several occasions, I've tried to experiment with the same thing. I mean, when I have dreams about numbers. I tried to simulate it betting on the lottery, with the combination of numbers I got from a dream. but after waiting for the result, it failed miserably. On several occasions, I have tried to experiment again when I had dreams related to number combinations. for the second time, failed to return. i guess in my experiment, it didn't work at all. which in the end, I speculate that luck was the determining factor.

In some cases, there are many lottery connoisseurs who do things that are beyond my logic. some have won, but most have lost. that is, the lottery is really related to the pure factor of luck. Even if I'm not mistaken, we have discussed in several other threads about lottery gambling by analyzing the clothes worn by soccer players' jersey numbers. I just want to state according to my assumptions, that lottery gambling really has nothing to do with anything. I mean, whether it's a dream, a combination of numbers, or anything else, it all comes down to luck.

Yes, I think many people have experienced this, some dream of numbers and they remember and say that this number will surely fall in the lottery to win the prize, it may or may not happen, most likely not like it happened to you, but it has many explanations, sometimes when we dream that kind of thing happens, also in numerology those numbers that we dream of usually mean other things, and codes that can be useful to us, the explanations can be too many, but I have also met people who happen to them with numbers, the they play and win.

I don't know what influences or how it is handled, but the numbers and everything that has to do with lotteries is something random, and the luck factor is always decisive, for my part when I play lotteries, raffles or something like that it is to help the person who sells it, because I understand that winning is very difficult.

I've only been lucky once, but it was a lottery with only 100 numbers, which is because the chances of winning are higher, 100 numbers is easier to win when there are lotteries with at least 4 figures, because it's a very large permutation and the chances of winning are greatly reduced.

I don't know how the influence of numerology is, but I have read about it, and in some books they say that when you dream of numbers it is because that number has a meaning and it is the one that should always be handled at that stage of our life, this refers to what many call sacred codes that are healing, something like that is what I have read, but it is very interesting.
3874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 24, 2023, 02:02:21 PM
I've heard some rumors that Thomas Tuchel is eyeing several players for Bayern Munich's attack line but he hasn't made any offers yet so we don't know what steps Tuchel will take in the future as the transfer season is almost over.
Yes, if some of the players are really taken and can collaborate to play with Mane it will create an attack game that is effective enough to produce goals but getting new players to collaborate well with old players also takes time so it is a challenge for Tuchel in the future.
Bayern Munich have a good attacking system and with good growth of Musiala, they will have better attacking and creativeness in a new season. They still lack of a good central striker as Choupo-Moting can not replace Lewandowski. He is at a lower level than Lewandowski and Bayern are looking for a new striker.

A most common rumor about Bayern Munich transfer recent weeks is about Harry Kane. Kane will give Bayern Munich many options for their attacking system and will be a good striker for them. I believe he is the best choice for Bayern Munich too because he is not too expensive like Mbappe and Haaland, has good quality and he is not too old. Signing with a world class striker and can use him in next 4 years at highest level, it is a very promising transfer for Bayern Munich.

Thomas Tuchel is doing an excellent job at Bayern Munich
I disagree to say he did excellent job so far in Bayern Munich. It is only acceptable and some will think it's unacceptable too. If Musiala hadn't scored a title winning goal for them in very last minutes, they would have lost the title to Dortmund.

Quote
he expects to achieve significant achievements in the coming season. Bayern Munich is intent on getting Harry Kane over, but it's a near-impossible job for the Bavarians because Tottenham Hotspur have stayed firm, refusing to lose their star scorer this summer, and have increased their bid for him. However, Bayern Munich will hunt for another prospective attacking player to scout this summer.
He will have more time with this summer, transfers to improve the team and pre-season training time to help players understand more about his tactics. If in a new season, he won't get excellent result, I believe Bayern Munich will consider to fire him. In crisis after Covid-19, clubs are less patiently waiting for good results from their coaches if bad results affect their club income.

What I think is that here Bayern have to ensure a player like Harry Kane, they need him, I see that they have suffered too much without having a striker like him or that does the job of that striker, or at least that has a frontal attack. as Harry Kane usually does, and if Bayern does not concentrate on doing things right now, because they can do them very well, and if they let the opportunity pass with that player, things will get complicated, the teams in Bundesliga will not care They are afraid of Bayern as before, they already realized that Dortmund was about to win, now they think that Bayern is vulnerable, they can take advantage of that.

Bayern Munich and Dortmund battle it out every season in the Bundesliga, Dortmund unfortunately lost last season. However, I think if the Dortmund team adds a suitable player to replace Haaland, then Dortmund will go ahead of Bayern Munich.
Haaland has left from the club even before last season was starting. Dortmund has found his replacement but some important players are leaving in summer like bellingham and guerreiro. Dortmund needs to find a replacement for those players. Dortmund has been signing F nmecha to replace bellingham.

Did you watch last season or not? It seems to me if you were not even watching it. You are missing a lot of things that happened with dortmund.
Bayern's domination will still continue. Tuchel has been making better preparation compared with dortmund. I guess that the winner for next season will be bayern. It has been 11 years since dortmund was winning its bundesliga before bayern was always taking it from dortmund.

It's very hard for dortmund to compete with bayern right now. Im thinking that will never happen.
Well things for Bayern and Dortmund are not that they suddenly change, because people can say that Bayern was about to lose everything in the last Bundesliga matchup, but it was not like that, so when it comes to these teams we cannot label Dortmund as if they were the eternal rival of a Bayern that has had great dominance, and for a reason they won the last Bundesliga, some say lucky, others say that Not eu, but personally they showed their worth and that must be recognized, I do not agree that if Bayern continues to win, do not say that the Bundesliga bores you, if the other teams do not raise the level they will not be able to beat a Bayern.

The case of Harry Kane already seems somewhat ambiguous to me:



BFW Commentary: Why Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane was doomed...until it wasn’t

Quote
But....I just never could come around to believing that it was ever going to be about trophies with Kane.

Until...I did.

I am starting to believe it — just like many of the doubters. So, let’s get the deal done Bayern Munich. It is the rarest of opportunities where a megastar Englishman in his prime actually wants to make the move to Germany.

Things look very strange, I have seen a Harry Kane who wants to leave Tottenham, they are even looking for another residence and a school for their children, so I don't know, but it would seem a little silly to me if this season he did not go to Bayern but the other one, also it would seem to me a very selfish gesture from Tottenham because it is a team that should allow the best for its players, and it would speak very badly, in fact they should take advantage of the fact that if a player already wants to leave they should not force him to stay If not let it go, so that it continues to grow, what it can achieve is that it makes the club very angry, something that should never be allowed.

Previously I was very clear about it with the Harry Kane case, now with all this it makes me think that he may or may not go to Bayern this season, and particularly this season is when they need this player the most.

Well according to speculation and many investigations, by Kane's wife we have this:



Quote
Harry Kane’s wife spotted house-hunting in Germany

Now, a report from Bild Sport has suggested the deal is “getting closer” after Kane’s wife and their family were seen in Germany inquiring about houses and schools.

Kane’s wife, Katie, visited Munich recently with members of their extended family and is believed to have been viewing housing options in Grunwald, which is just 12km outside of Munich.

The report describes this development as the “real hammer” in the ongoing situation, and adds that Kane himself “really wants to go to Munich.”

Okay, you make a good argument; it is about striking a balance between the many interests, right? Furthermore, the players' point of view must be taken into account. But let's be rationally skeptical for a second. The majority of players' pay comes from their clubs, yet there is no greater honor than playing for your country in the FIFA World Cup. No self-respecting athlete would risk that recognition for the sake of a few extra club games. This brings up an intriguing debate. The FIFA Confederations Cup and other regional tournaments may be perceived as watering down the prestige of the World Cup and the European Championship. However, they also help find and develop promising new talent. Spreading out these competitions over a longer period of time might help keep the World Cup's level of interest and enthusiasm high.

Well.. I don't want to change the current setup. Right now, the world cup is being played every 4 years, and most of the regional competitions are being played with shorter intervals. This should continue IMO. I am a big supporter of the expansion of the FIFA World Cup to 48 countries, and I am of the opinion that it will further popularize football. But any attempt to reduce the interval between two events to two years need to be opposed. In this case, I agree with the clubs. Playing world cup every two years may prove counterproductive.
And I think of something, if FIFA is so interested in holding a World Cup every year, it's not the right thing to do, it's too soon, I think it would take away a lot of interest, it's that in a World Cup things practically become even and they start to look impressing, If FIFA wants to reduce the time, I think that 2 years is still a very short time, the most that things could do in the earlier World Cup would be an interval not of 4 but of 3 years, which seems somewhat more rational to me, given It is more opportune that the teams continue to prepare well and that way the public does not get tired of a magnificent event like this, because personally, I would like a World Cup every 2 years, but even so , it is how soon the qualifiers would be something very violent, and they can get even more complicated with tournaments like the Euro, Cop America, among others.

Personally, my Venezuela would like to see it in a World Cup, I would also like to see India in a World Cup, they are teams that play interesting football, but have not yet been in shape to arrive, I hope that this World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada can achieve it, but they still have to work very hard, at least in South America the teams are very strong, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, they are very football-loving countries and they are also very strong with players who mostly play for recognized teams in Europe.

LOL.. If Venezuela was playing in any other confederation, then they would have been a regular participant in the world cup. Unfortunately for them, they play in the toughest confederation (CONMEBOL), and therefore always always miss out on the qualification. This is why I was in favor of selecting a few teams from a second round of qualifier, which would include teams from different confederations (I am not taking about the inter-continental playoffs). Now coming to China and India, I think the only possible way to get them included in the world cup might be through qualification as hosts.

What can I tell you, you're absolutely right, the best way to qualify for the World Cup in this part of the continent is to be for Concacaf where Mexico is the most dominant, of course the USA among others, but I think that Concacaf are the ones with the most options to go to the World Cup, any team from Central America has a good chance of going to the World Cup, on the other hand, I think that Venezuela should earn that spot, because it doesn't make sense to go to a World Cup without going through the tremendous filter of the toughest countries s from South America, then going to a World Cup to lose in the first round and almost making a fool of yourself is not the way, because if you play a team like Germany, England, or France, that would be like completely going through a steamroller.

Now if they don't go to the next World Cup, it's because they really are very bad, and that can't be denied, things must be said as they are, to go to a World Cup you need to be the best of the best, there are teams that come in with a very low performance and leave at once, it's not the idea either, the good thing is that they can play a good role, more than ucnaod is a debut, but I am particularly intrigued how these countries can do it, as I said before India intrigues me, I see that it has Soccer has grown there, and another team that I would like to see is the Philippines.

I think that we, who are great soccer fans, would not like an event like this to take place every year or every 2 years, I think that the longest I would put up with it being brought forward would be every 3 years, it seems good to me, because in 2 years we can do the qualifying rounds, and also now it is becoming more interesting because more slots for the World Cup have opened up and this makes things more interesting, especially for the teams of nations that have never been to a World Cup.
The faster and the major tournament that also involves many participants is held, it is very likely that the quality of the match will decrease because the players are also quite busy with the match schedule at their respective clubs and the possibility for players to get injured during the World Cup match can be detrimental to the club while the players get a salary from the club and what is no less can reduce the quality of the organization, namely the preparation of the host country will be reduced so that it can make the quality of the location used to be according, so there should be no changes regarding the time in organizing the world cup.

Personally, my Venezuela would like to see it in a World Cup, I would also like to see India in a World Cup, they are teams that play interesting football, but have not yet been in shape to arrive, I hope that this World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada can achieve it, but they still have to work very hard, at least in South America the teams are very strong, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, they are very football-loving countries and they are also very strong with players who mostly play for recognized teams in Europe.
Often these teams like India are only strong or show something interesting under certain circumstances but when they have to compete against teams that often appear in the world cup the situation changes and the matches become unbalanced, this happens because the teams that usually play in the World Cup have experience that can be used as capital and also the draw is very profitable for them compared to teams that only occasionally or have just entered the World Cup, but it does not rule out the possibility of these teams making surprises like what teams from Africa usually do, their appearance is often eagerly awaited because they often become a threat to strong teams.

Indeed, when there is a World Cup, the players do not have rest, even if they play in the league they play, they have a great performance, some come very tired and in the case of the last World Cup almost all the players were very tired, and of course that obviously influences a lot, because the games in leagues like the European one are very demanding, but this is what makes a World Cup special, so that they give their all.

Now, it is as you say, countries like these that are sometimes not so well known, well I would like them to be able to qualify, because they have every right to go to a World Cup, it may be that they grow a lot and can do things better, there are teams that when they go to a World Cup they believe it and play with their soul, so it would not be bad, if they do it badly, well, they simply lose, at most with a landslide, but hey, these things have happened even to the most difficult teams. strong in the world.

Not many gamblers can make thousands or even hundreds of dollars like you when betting in casinos. However, there isn't much you can do when you have achieved big things, which is not common even among old gamblers. So the problem here is that you lack control, of course with that big win the ambition to achieve more than that will continue to haunt you. It is indeed very unfortunate that anyone when pursuing the big profits from what he has achieved will end tragically. Even if you look at it in a healthy way, you have achieved extraordinary benefits as mentioned. Just as a form of advice, if you really have that kind of ambition, try to take a break from gambling patterns to take the time to learn how to control your emotions. Gambling without emotion will only push you into a struggle of dissatisfaction.

I don't know anyone who makes a profit like this, and to be honest I think I would not believe it unless that person shows me the plays and how he did it in the casino, if so, yes because it is very easy to say and ensure that he knows that he did something like that, but without proof, anyone can say that he is superman, and you have to believe it, no, at least someone who wins those huge amounts of money, well, it does not hurt to show captures, players and that's it. It's more credible, although I somewhat believe that if a person has that ability that I know exists, I admire them very much, because I don't know if one day I'm going to experience a risk of such a high magnitude, for me those figures are really quite impossible.

I always pay attention to the earnings of some gamblers in casinos, and this seems to me to be very impressive, because emphasis is always placed on what is won, but not what the person has experienced to get there, however, as I said before, it would be good if it could show the gains, the losses, because these types of people also have losses and it is normal both in gambling and in trading, there will always be wins and losses, but it is good that they show The way it got there is not easy, because I know that everything has its effort, but this forum always tries to show everything that a person can do in a detailed way, and for that it is also clear respect if you don't show it, but you should.

Who will win the Champions League in the end, Mbappe after joining Real Madrid or Real Madrid after signing Mbappe? Real Madrid can win the Champions League without the assistance of any new player; their current squad is still strong enough to participate in the Champions League. Whether or not they sign Mbappe now, I don't believe Real Madrid's performance will suffer.
Agree, who really benefits from Mbappe's presence if he is really going to Real Madrid, Real Madrid or actually the players because Real Madrid is Real Madrid with whatever squad composition they will never be a mediocrity team in Laliga or in European competition, even though they can't become champions in Laliga or also win the Champions League in certain seasons not because they turn into a weak team but which team can always win every season? none because the strength map of a league or tournament will always change because a team that is performing poorly will certainly improve itself so that it becomes stronger in the following season.
Many great players actually need a club like Real Madrid because if these players continue to develop themselves then they will definitely be able to win titles at this big club, which is why players will gladly accept when they get an offer from the Spanish club, and next season they will perform better to challenge Barcelona for the title, so no player is bigger than the club he defends.

The only thing I know is that I would not hope for Mbappé to go to Madrid, in fact I think that there are more chances that he will go to Liverpool, they have not started to think that Real Madrid is a team that can buy the player they want , money is not going to be barred, it is a team that has everything to be great, with or without Mbappé, if it is necessary that they look for a player who can replace at least the hole left by the kitten Benzema, because it must be recognized that Benzmea helped the team forward many times and that is something that everyone should recognize, but personally I don't think Mbappé will go, he already said no once, and as I have said, if he goes to Madrid he would be disappointed, because no player is above the club.

The priority for Real Madrid right now is the need for Strikers. After Benzema's departure from the team, they still could not transfer a quality name to this region. They do not have big problems in defense, but of course, they may want to transfer to the defense. I think they should devote the budget to striker transfers instead. Joselu can be a good backup striker and needs a star striker.
It's not possible for real madrid to do that for now. I read news that said if there was a rumor madrid will start to talk with PSG about mbappe but this seems to be a rumor only. I see no concrete news related to the development of this rumor. From what i can see that if real madrid is now hunting a new striker even vlahovic has become one of the candidates mentioned by real madrid. The problem is now if the club may not even try to spend another huge money to buy a single player. Madrid has bought bellingham with a lot of money and madrid will not do that again.
It's caused by the club needs to make sure if its financial will always be stable. Madrid has a lot of debt. The club needs to use its budget efficiently to avoid the same fate as barcelona.
That's the way it is, Real Madrid also has very good players, in fact a Rodrygo with a Vini Jr already has enough to play a good game against any team, I know that the big gap left by Benzema is something that cannot be replaced from one day to the next, we have the clear example of a Bayern Munich with a Lewa who left, now the team is trying to get back up thanks to Harry Kane, they are in negotiations, so I hope that doesn't happen to him Real Madrid, because now they have a high degree of competition in the League, and now in the UCL they have a lot of competition, Real Madrid cannot lower the level, with the players they have on the bench I think it's enough.

Now, what other player apart from Mbappé could they look for? Mbappé already knows that they are not interested, despite the whim of the Frenchman he wants to leave anyway, and the only way is for a free transfer to be made, otherwise they will not give a single Euro for the player, and all the controversy that has developed has been impressive, PSG wants to force him to play with a new contract, but these things happened through his own fault, because he did not leave when he should have, now he wants to stay on the bench all the time, and that's how it is he loses shape, if he loses shape they won't want him in Madrid, things get complicated.

Kylian Mbappe offered mega contract that 'includes' Erling Haaland-type clause



Quote
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly been offered a mega-money contract with a similar clause to the one that Erling Haaland had when he joined Manchester City. The France superstar is claimed to have been offered the chance to move to the Saudi Pro League but perhaps for just one year.

Well apparently the sheikh does not want to give Real Madrid anything for free, will it be a new style of "pique"? but I don't understand it, it is known that Madrid when a player says no, that is not forever, I don't know where they get second chances for this player, nor that he was so, so good, he is simply a player, he is not above any club, if things happened to him at PSG thinking that he is the only player who has rights over the club it is because the sheikh allowed him that, but personally Mbappé is already 24 years old, he is still young , but it is no longer in Madrid's style, Madruid likes younger people, and preferably they play at least 7-10 years for them , being more famous for their performance , however, we have to wait and see how the "Mbappé" case develops.
3878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: July 23, 2023, 10:37:53 PM
Basically, regardless of whether there is a lot or little money, I don't think it comes from there because to play gambling, we must realise that the probability of losing will be much greater than winning.
It doesn't matter how much money you have but you have to realise that winning every day especially for a target of $100 is very difficult and even tends to be impossible.
There will be an assumption that large capital will definitely affect, but IMO for things like this, especially for wanting $100 / day, it does not depend on large or small capital because everything still depends on luck when gambling.


No matter if the capital is big since if you lose then it is also big, when the capital is small it takes time to accumulate and you keep playing until you achieve that, but for sure it is exhausting as you'll be playing countless hours, and if you are lucky today, the casino by tomorrow will get back your winnings and make you lose more. Casinos have an edge no matter what, even if you have a small or big capital, as they want to zero out your balance, mostly if your mindset is to keep chasing money by winning games.
I don't agree with this, because when we have to win at that time then just starting the game can give a big victory. I'm saying this based on what I've experienced myself, even I often experience this.
When I bring big capital, it is precisely that that makes me experience defeat, but when I bring small capital with the lowest bet, it is precisely less than an hour or even in just about 10 minutes I can win more than what I expected. I usually experience that when I play pragmatic games like GoO.
So I think if we really have to win at that time then it doesn't take long for us to play.
Assuming the casino in which you are gambling is not cheating you then the most likely explanation for what you are seeing is that even if you are getting those results this does not mean everyone is experimenting the same outcomes.

In theory it makes no difference at all whether you use a lot of money to bet or a small amount, as the odds of the games do not fundamentally change at all due to the difference on the size of your bet, so while you are experimenting those results, it is likely there is a gambler out there which has the opposite experience and it brings the results back to mean.

Yes, it is a great analysis, but yes, I personally believe something, if there is a player who has a lot of money, suppose he makes bets above 200, 300, 400usd up to 1000usd, it will not be difficult for him to win 100usd a day, and that is something that can happen, I am not saying that it always happens, but you can easily earn 100usd a day if you make very large bets, for example in dice Yes, it is very easy to get those sums if you bet smart enough knowing that at one point you can do it, but of course it is the degree of experience that the player has, if I had a lot of money I would try, but I always play with a very, very low budget.

A person who is willing to play between $2,000 and $3,000 can easily make $100 and in a quick moment, although they have to be very careful not to lose too much, because if they use a martingale with a budget like that, they can be too dangerous. Personally , a person who has to spend that amount of money daily can spend that money, even so, it is risky, just like in trading, if a person can spend that money, which is very likely, because there are many people in the world who have a lot of money can do it, it is in the normal range, in fact $100 in many countries is not much, it is normal to get it, but it could be said that when things are for bets with low budgets, $100 is really enough if it is done.

I have a friend, but he is one of those people who have a lot of money, and he doesn't mind losing $10k in trading, because when he wins it is between $15k-$20k and that is something that not everyone can do, but of course he showed me his capital and it is more than $300k, so the more money his profit is greater, but of course, these are very special cases.
3879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 23, 2023, 08:58:27 PM
You are right about that, especially in football many surprises have happened, only in Qatar we can give a lot to talk about but here the important thing is to take into account a very technical analysis of the bases of the teams, how they are, what is their way of being, to obtain as much information as possible, which is difficult, but not impossible, however, we also have other tools, when they place bets, the bias can indicate something like what we call "indicator" in trading, but it is not entirely reliable, I have seen how statistics give a specific team the Winner. they fall and they are wrong

These may be the possible causes, I'm not sure but they are very likely, now in the long term, players or bettors should realize what their mistake is, if they focus a lot on their bets, be governed by feelings, by favorite teams, that also influences sports betting if they lose in the long term it is the bettor's duty to learn quickly what they are doing wrong, it is not good that they make a lot of mistakes because it is loss of money, and that is not what is sought, in the long term what is sought is to have a better development, understanding of sports to win constantly, and that the gains are minimal, the gains must always be greater than the losses, in every sense this is what should always be sought, that is why the technical aspects must always be worked on.
3880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 23, 2023, 08:02:01 PM


if last season when bayern was weakened and dortmund had a good squad of players and didn't become champions then i see another 10 years in which bayern will be champions consecutively,. I don't see bayern having opponents, I already said that dortmund profit a lot from selling players, they are very lucky to get good players and sell for a very high price, they have been doing this for years and it has become a good business for them them, so they don't make an effort to buy many expensive players to win the bundesliga

so dortmund's strategy is precisely to get cheap players who are very talented and with that try to go far in the bundesliga, if they manage to win, it's something they will celebrate, but if they don't win it won't affect anything in terms of profits because they will sell their good players, while bayern sees the champions league as their objective, they already know that the bundesliga is something already guaranteed, so their target is the champions league that allows them to get more money and prestige in every season. unfortunately the other teams in the bundesliga have no chance of winning the bundesliga
It is a fact that Dortmund players will always have a way of seeing things well, first as you say, get cheap players with a lot of talent for them to prepare and throw them into the arena to gain experience, eventually they become monsters and are sold, but now I think that Dormtund also has the hope of continuing to reap very good fans and continue selling but also winning , they already realized that they can do many Things , first by Winning matches and Equalizing and Putting Pressure on a Titan Like Bayern, second They know that they can win whatever they set their mind to and third things can go much better when they Realize that in the Bundesliga in General all the teams feel that any of them can be champions , and that they will want to change things Anyway.


Harry Kane is the star of the previous and current transfer window by far, along with Mbappe. These two players are gonna quit their clubs in one year, refuse to sign a new contract with them, willing to play with their teams and moving out as free agent. This made their administration mad and don't have much choice.
Harry Kane is a player with big hopes and a lot of teams including Bayern Munich are interested in signing with him that why The competition is to high so its unclear where he will ultimately land. It is only natural for a Bayern Munich fan to wish for the best but it also be sensible and avoid obsessing about Kane probable acquisition. I think With or without Kane Bayern Munich has a powerful team that can continue to be a top contender in the Bundesliga standings. Lets have faith in the club skills and anticipate a thrilling season
Just because Bayern "may" get Kane doesn't mean that is the only player they could get to be better, I understand that Tuchel wants him and looks like he would be good for the team, but we could also see them get another player if Kane doesn't pan out.

Asking for way too much for Kane makes it harder for Bayern to get him, and spending this much on a single player is not something Bayern is too used to doing, they didn't even spend quarter of that for Mane, which turns out to be a good move and that's why they shouldn't get that much money for Kane neither. It would be better if they somehow end up with a cheaper younger player who could have a much better future, that way they could keep him playing for a while, and sell for a lot more later on.

Here what the Tottenham is doing is playing with the need of Bayern, we all know very well that Bayern has a lot To get out of the hands, they neglected the local league a lot and began to focus more on UCL, which in the end made many mistakes, they threw the coach, then put Tuchel, and all the responsibility now has it Tuchel, these things get increasingly interesting.

In addition, Harry Kane is something that nobody can give something safe, his wife is a blessing place in Munich, apart they are looking to fix everything related to their children's school, so this tends to think that yes, it is a fact that Kane is ready to enter the ranks of the Bayern, on the other hand they say that it is the next season that will leave, the truth is a sea of speculations, some say that they are too There is an emergency some things because they are not measured in order to cover the need.

Tottenham have now identified £69m forward as ‘number one’ Harry Kane replacement



Quote
It’s not been a good day for Tottenham on their pre-season tour.

James Maddison and Harry Winks were getting geared up to face their old clubs.

However, Tottenham’s match against Leicester City was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

It’s a shame for Tottenham’s fans in Thailand as the team had never played a competitive match in the country.

The fixture would have given people something to talk about that isn’t Harry Kane’s future.
