Well,seeing Club Brugge,Paok,Plzen,Fenerbahce this high in the Europa Conference League it means that Uefa has full success with this format,it gives plenty of opportunities to teams who stand little to no chance of advancing in Champions League even if they manage to be in the group stage there or near getting qualified for group stage.Two teams from Greece in the quarter finals means that in this league even teams from not well known major leagues have real possibilities to get even further and why not go for the winning of such league.I am very impressed by teams like the one mentioned here which are teams that do great at their local league but that's it,in International competitions they don't do that well,in this format though they are doing great and as I said it is a great success for Uefa.

Extremely shocked at Liverpool result with an odd of 1.3 and is losing 0-3 from Atalanta.I think that this is a really bad defeat to Liverpool that most likely will not recover from such result even in the return leg,they even have not scored just one goal and they are playing at Anfield,I have never seen such a Liverpool team doing this bad in an European competition.I am afraid one of the contenders already got out of the fight for winning Europa League,one of the strongest contender,now I think it can be easier for any team going to the final and not founding the strong Liverpool there,of course by strong Liverpool I do not mean the one we experienced tonight,a total disaster during the whole game,I don't know if they are focusing on the Premier League yet even if they are such result is unacceptable for a team of their level.

They just released Alonso breaking news in Istagram F1 page as he signed up again next year with Aston Martin so I don't know about the Aramco news but Alonso is staying for another year with Aston Martin.I think Stroll though needs some real improvement as he cannot just shout out in the radio the Canadian version of GP2 in Japanese Grand Prix where he said,"can't believe how bad our speed is in the straight" complaining about him not being able to overtake or coming near through DRS to the car in front of him which in theory is slower yet in Japan it looked the complete opposite.I don't know if it was Stroll that bad but I think that in the straight there are no bad drivers,any driver can push it to the limit.

It can very well be,yet for hobby I know something that people love to do daily and if a person likes to gamble daily it also means that this person has big chances of falling into addiction.I know there are quite a lot of persons that say that they have an allocated budget and they never overdo it,yet the emotions cannot be controlled so it means that gambling in its core is a very dangerous hobby if we classify it as a hobby.

That is why I would not recommend to someone who asks me to find a hobby for him,to tell him just start gambling,I would say learn a new skill,go outdoors,go in daily journeys exploring the country or something along those lines but never to recommend someone to a hobby that has chances of making one's life miserable for real.

During the week we received news of a possible sale of the French team, Alpine (Renault) after the disastrous start of the championship.

today there were denials from the French.

The team will not be sold and will continue. Incredibly, however, there have never been any rumors of an upgrade to the car, it is assumed that the team will struggle for much if not all of the championship.

They say the sun can be spotted early in the morning and it is a shame to see an ex World Champion in 2005-2006 Renault team not doing well,in fact struggling a lot.The more performing and competitive teams the better the overall race and Championship for us all to watch.I am amazed at how the budget of such a team if it is still Renault behind Alpine (I have high doubts about it) and they are never making an upgrade package,nor are throwing in some extra budget as Renault is a very rich company with great numbers regarding sales of normal cars,if they wanted they can surely inject quite a lot of money in the team and start doing much better than they are doing already in the season of 2024.

Yes, that's true, indeed Arsenal and Liverpool both have points superior to City, but I think they can still catch up in the next match. I also think that in their next match City can win by a landslide. However, even though City are currently playing very well, they cannot underestimate their opponents, like when they played against Real Madrid with a draw, that's not too bad either, with City being able to match Real Madrid, in my opinion it proves that City is a really strong team.

I don't underestimate Arsenal and Liverpool, because these two teams are equally strong, but with these three teams competing, I think City might still be able to catch up and beat them, even though yesterday City and Arsenal's match ended in a draw, that wasn't City's wish but theirs I've done my best. and I hope that in the future they will continue to provide and display their best performance.

Man City will play the day before Liverpool and Arsenal and it looks like they will be able to win that match easily, so Man City will be in first place in one day. Liverpool will also face easy opponents and most likely it will not be difficult for Liverpool to get 3 points. What's quite tough is Arsenal because they will play against Aston Villa, which has had quite a good performance this season. However, Arsenal still has a bigger chance than Aston Villa because Arsenal will play at home.

Arsenal maybe lacking here in the game against Aston Villa not because they cannot win the game even after such an opponent,they surely can but because they need to save power for the upcoming 2nd leg of the Champions League which they will play in Munich and will have a hard time if they spend to much energy during the game of Aston Villa.It is in Arsenal choice what would they value more,the continuing of a superb form in the Premier League fighting hard for a title that they are a couple of years near missing it or shift focus during this week for the Champions game risking big for their overall fight for the title in the Premier League.

...

And now PSG are turning things around quite quickly. Now the score has changed to 2-1. PSG managed to score 2 goals in 2 minutes. Namely in the 48th minute by Dembele and in the 50th minute by Vitor Ferreira. In the second half PSG seemed to be more aggressive and I think their playing pattern was a little different. It seemed like their coach had finished analyzing Barcelona's abilities in the first half. So now PSG can play with better preparation in the second half. But don't worry, the second half is still in the 61st minute and I don't think Barcelona will give up quickly either. Barcelona is now trying to equalize the score again.

It has already been equalized by PSG and I have to say I thought that PSG would be more dominant playing at home, but it seems that Barcelona is doing a good job there. They don't have quite as much ball possession as PSG, but the number of chances of both teams is about equal, which I think is quite a big deal as that already gives of what to expect in the second leg of this game between these two teams that I think nobody really know how far they can make it in the Champions League. But a draw would be an acceptable result for Barcelona as they are quite strong at home when there is something on the line.
A draw is also what I opted for at the onset of this game but it seems like Christensen just gave Barcelona the lead and currently the game is 3-2 in favor of Barcelona. Just like you stated, PSG aren't really playing as if they are the home team and i doubt that they can equalize this third goal as the time is almost up but it's good to see that this first round of the champions league playoffs is filled with lots of goals scored, if you are the type of gambler that bets on goals then you might just be lucky to place the right bet.
Of course, Christensen goal on the 73rd minutes was able to make a difference in the match, giving Barcelona a better advantage of qualifying to the semifinals. Barcelona was able to take advantage of their chances, which led to their victory.

It will be difficult for PSG to come to Spain and win with two goals difference and qualify to the semifinals, because Barcelona will show them what is football in Spain. Atletico Madrid also did well by winning their match at home, I see that today they Spanish teams won their match, which is a one

Atletico Madrid was very very lucky and unlucky at the same time,they were very unlucky when Samuel Lino lost a clamorous chance with just 2 meters away from goal and he didn't score that 3-1 goal and then they were extremely lucky in the 95th minute of the game,the last one where Dortmund nearly scored the 2-2 goal.

Taking into consideration their last encounter in Germany where Dortmund won 4-0 I think it will be a difficult night for them next week in Dortmund to be able to retain this advantage of this first leg,anything can happen yet from what I saw today it most probably end with a Dortmund win and also a Dortmund qualification for the semi finals.

At least I got an exact score for Atletico Madrid and also about 11 points in Pot B from that game too,boy that 95 minute post from Dortmund could have made me go home with 0 points in both pots,I am relatively happy and I cannot understand how PSG that played great and still lost so many chances while Barcelona had clinical finishes 2 times with Raphinha.

The games of today surely were more entertaining than those of yesterday,Barcelona vs PSG was the best to watch of course yet Atletico vs Dortmund was a very very entertaining game with Dortmund that took the brakes of the game since the minute 33 and they dominated since then,Atletico lost a clamorous chance to go 3-1 with Samuel Lino and so we will have very much open return games except PSG I believe which should be already eliminated.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: April 10, 2024, 08:29:56 PM
To be honest, gambling isn’t a skill. Hence no matter how much you practice, it won’t increase your chance of winning. Gambling is a game based on luck. If your luck is not good, then you won’t be able to make good profits from it. No matter how you play. Hence whether it’s better or not, that cannot be said, but yes if you gamble regularly, then you are also risking your money regularly. Hence watch out and gamble.

I would not say a game of luck,I mean not a game of full luck rather relative luck as the games are build in such a way that they favor the house/casino in the long run.You can be lucky a couple of times and hit it big but if you continue to gamble every day the games are designed in such a way that over the long term the players will be losing money and hence it is not better to gamble every day.Some providers in slot machines resume the game exactly where you left off even if you come back to play that game after one month,meaning that if the players had a winning session last time,it won't most probably have it again,based on such facts it is not wise to gamble every day.

Well, I didn't expect BVB to be SO toothless. They also probably didn't expect Atleti to be so daring. Goals aside, the adventure came from the home side. Thought after winning Der Klassiker they would fancy themselves a chance here. Switching to Barca/PSG after this break.

Damn, LFC_Bitcoin and myself are the only ones with any points from yesterday's games?
31 different submissions have been made for these 2 games, we have 6,5% efficiency rate Grin

I was going to comment about this but saw you got there first. Pretty impressive to be the only ones walking away with points, and at odds that weren't too shabby too. LFC_Bitcoin rocking late!

Woe for us who put our faith in Bayern/Real's pedigree -- but a draw was the fairest result, in a game where fair has little meaning.

Also I had 1 point from Real draw yesterday yet in today games Barcelona surprised us all considering the game was dominated by Paris most of the time although statistics say it was an equal first half.I watched both games simultaneously and for the second half I am choosing to watch Paris.I believe they have the power,the players and skill to turn things around during this second half,if they want to fancy a chance to go further in the competition they need to absolutely win this game and hope for the best in the return leg which will be very difficult playing at Barcelona's home.

Dortmund did wake up last 15 minutes and I think in the second half they may be will score one goal to close the gap and hope for the best in the return leg,one of the best Atletico players,Samuel Lino will not play the return leg because of yellow card so chances are real for Dortmund if they manage to score tonight.

If Bayer Leverkusen will going to use their strength and energy to play this game, I guess victory will be their portion because they are doing well in Bundesliga to remain in first position despite the battle all the strong teams battle to bring them down but they failed, and they will surely withstand West Ham in this game to prove to people that they have strong teams in Bundesliga that is stronger than some premier league teams by securing goals that will make them to best west Ham 3:1 for the favour of Bayer Leverkusen.

I won’t be able to give a correct score for this game but I feel very well that it will end up in favour of Bayern Leverkusen who are the most qualitative team amongst this two teams. I have not really watched how Weat Ham have been performing in the Europa League competitions but have seen most of their games in the premier league which they haven’t been able to keep up a consistent performance like Bayern Leverkusen does in their Bundesliga games. The game should end in favour of Bayern Leverkusen, the odds supports them from their stats and so they are and have been for a while now. No correct score can be predicted, but a win for Bayern Leverkusen is certain in this match.
Of course, Bayer Leverkusen has a bit more advantage since it will be playing at home, but Leverkusen had a hard time in the Qarabag matches. Bayer Leverkusen must beat West Ham because it will be a difficult match in England. They should take the advantage in the first match. European league matches are as exciting as Champions League matches. It will be fun to watch these too.

West Ham is only focusing here as in Premier League they have been really weak during this season yet in the European competition they have been doing quite well,the same for Leverkussen though as they are already Champions of the Bundesliga and their full focus is also here,they want to win an European title too from many years missing,it looks like this is their year and they want to hit double Champions,both in Bundesliga which they have already gotten and in here which will be much more difficult to achieve yet they will give it all.The game against Qarabag did not have the same level of motivation they will have against West Ham,so this will be the best game to watch tomorrow.

Atletico pressure made Dortmund go in error and gifted Atletico the goal,however from what we are seeing in the first 20 minutes of the game Atletico is completely dominating the game,the defense of Dortmund has kept 1-0 still but I believe that if they don't change the way they play the game will end with a tennis result for Atletico if they fix their shooting style from all of their players.Dortmund again doing what they have done during all this season,waiting and defending while doing so meanwhile if they see the opportunities when Atletico gets tired as they will surely do with the intensity they are playing,may look like the right plan for the 2 leg games for Dortmund and they may even be qualifying after all making a huge surprise.
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 10, 2024, 06:54:20 PM
Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund

Dortmund can advances to the quarterfinal after eliminate PSV with final aggregate 3-1 so this is impressive because previously Dortmund is underrated team and they are not as strong candidate for this competition even since group stages Dortmund was doubful can able to advances to the round of 16 but in fact they can finish at first place of group table and for Atletico Madrid this team also not so different similar to Dortmund because people haven't counting them as the candidate for the trophy but although Atletico Madrid have to hard struggling but they can successfully to eliminate Inter Milan at round of 16 through an penalty kick

For squad update Dortmund still lost Donyell Malen because injured but they still have Jadon Sancho and Niclas Fullkrug and about Jadon Sancho he was scored when Dortmund beat PSV and Sancho also performing well when Dortmund lost from Stuttgart last week so i am sure he will be played since the beginning of match and for Atletico Madrid squad Memphis Depay and Mario Hermoso will be doubtful to play and about the outcomes of this match i can see Atletico Madrid as the favourite with odds @1.81 and i think they have good chance to overcomes Dortmund today because Atletico Madrid always be performing well at their home ground or over 2.5 goals also good pick for this match
I am inclined to believe that Inter was a more difficult opponent for Atletico than Dortmund. I assume that the guests will play as they did in the match with PSG, mainly in defense with periodic counterattacks, if they are lucky enough to score, they will simply kick the ball away from their goal. I expect victory from Atletico today, Dortmund are not good enough to beat Atletico in Madrid.
In the PSG - Barcelona match, for me the opponents are equal, despite the fact that PSG is playing at home, I think that they will not have a big advantage, and the match can be cautious, there will not be many goals, so one goal can decide the outcome of the match.

That is what they have done during all this season,Dortmund,just took profit from any opportunity that was presented their way and I also very much doubt they to be a difficult opponent for Atletico tonight although Atletico can be damaged real hard if they by any chance underestimate their opponent and compromise further their Champions League campaign.

Atletico has all eyes in here and full focus in the Champions League while they have no real chances in La Liga for a title from many weeks now and they have not been doing well there yet in Champions they have been absolutely marvelous so far and I think they to continue this way even in tonight game against Dortmund.

IIRC I put some points on Barcelona today and I'm 99% sure that I have it on Atletico. Going to put some real money on Barca tonight, wouldn't say that PSG are looking so scary now. But I wouldn't be very disappointed with draw in away game.
Atletico - Dortmund, I predict that it will be typical Atletico game - defensive, low scoring and not the most beautiful to watch. I hope that I'm wrong.

Atletico usually plays those type of games with strong opponents and I don't think Dortmund is a strong one despite coming this far in the Champions League I have seen nothing convincing from them except being the most opportunistic team during this season and taking profit of any goal opportunity that they had (I have in mind group games against Newcastle here).Atletico against such a team I am sure they will be playing a careful football yet a surely attacking one which I hope to be entertaining as this is the game I am choosing to watch from tonight Champions League games.Hopefully we don't end up with draws in both games like yesterday night as the pool resulted stalled in points from such results,I believe more home teams to be winning tonight.

Baccarat is one of the popular live games now in the Philippines since it’s the original version of our local game lucky 9.

I saw many streamers that using betting pattern on this but I don’t see the logic how they decide to change bet from banker to dealer and vice versa by just relying only on the bet history. Baccarat is a game of pure luck so I don’t comprehend how they come any strategy on this game.

Am I missing something strategy which is almost similar to card counting of blackjack?

If you are talking about the online one,then yeah it does not make sense because the game is software controlled and is run by some very complex algorithm that in the end will favor the house just like every slot machine is built for example,any software game there is no real logic behind it to go and change patterns as they simply have no true meaning.I know of many people putting up so called strategies in some certain slot machines from a specific provider which I am not naming here that provider and they think they can have an edge over the slot machine which simply is not the case as a slot machine is based solely on RNG,programmed to favor the house over the long run.

If you talk about real life baccarat then I don't know what to say as I rarely have played that game.

Hi everyone,

The way you play, which we can consider your playing strategy, plays an important role in determining your profit or loss, like other factors.

For me, when I play, I enter with the intention of double the amount of money and stop. This method may be followed by some people, and I do it sometimes. I determine the amount of money that I will gamble with, for example $100 and I try to get $200 and leave the casino or site if the plan worked  very well. If I am unlucky, once I lose $100, I will leave without adding a penny. What is interesting here is that even if I win, I stop and do not deviate from the scope of the plan. In such situations, especially when winning, the gambler may become greedy, and this may change the course of the game   .

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.

If the gambler is able to implement it correctly I agree this to be one of the best plans as it makes you stop once you double your money,something quite achievable even by just playing sport bets or casino slot machines,roulette or table games,so it is achievable from many games and can stop the greediness that is rooted deep down in our nature,DNA.However from my personal experience and seeing what happens in the casinos very few individuals are able to stick to their plans and never overdo it,the reason why most people overdo it even after setting their limits and they break such limits is because of emotions,we don't know how emotions play games with us and can lead to bad decisions,this can't be fought in many persons and that is why the ones in your plan are always very few compared to the majority.

I just checked the result of Pot A,absolute quietness,everybody did like everybody else meaning they only got a point either from Arsenal draw or from Real draw,I personally got it from Real draw although I am very unhappy for Pot B in which so far I got 0 points yet I have Atletico to win against Dortmund tomorrow which should be some easy task comparing their recent form in the Champions League and not their La Liga form,they should be able to get a narrow win and I am sure not so many goals will be scored in tomorrow games compared to tonight games.I am still surprised how I am still at 4th place in Pot A  Grin.

Boo! Double draw!?

Some great matches though, fantastic goals. Tomorrow will probably not be as fun  Grin

The Arsenal draw I think was impacted greatly by the referee,the Swedish referee that in at least two occasions should have called for VAR especially in the last minute of the game opportunity for Saka,it looked like he tripped before being touched by Bayern defender but all the commentators in both Sky Sport and Spanish TUDN channel called for a penalty,it should have absolutely been a penalty this last occasion for Arsenal,yet another proof that UEFA/FIFA is not doing much in punishing these types of overbearing referees,they are screwing games at such high level like a quarter final of the Champions league and nothing is being made,they do not give an absolute shit about VAR technology which is there to fix their errors,despite an entertaining game something is terribly wrong with these referees.

Things are not looking good for me in Champions League today.
I placed all my stakes on Arsenal to win against Bayern, and they started good with first goal but Bayern turned situation around.
I am watching second half and I dont see anything special from Arsenal, they need a miracle to win today, and so do I  Tongue

They equalized.They have the enthusiasm although they greatly lack ideas but something can happen and maybe they score another goal out of nowhere like they did in the equalizer of 2:2 result.The problem is that Bayern looks like took control of the game in these last minutes remaining as they are attacking hard,I had Bayern to win in Pot B and Arsenal in Pot A so I am losing in both pots with this result.I would also love a goal from Arsenal as I would be getting at least a point in Pot A as for Pot B I am only hoping for Atletico Madrid tomorrow to get like 10 points and be happy with that as for tonight games they have gone terribly wrong.

Its really painful to encounter consecutive losses that's why other became so mad and troll to the threads of the casino. To avoid getting into this situation a gambler should stick with the amount they can afford to lose and know to quit immediately if they are not feeling well to continue or  they are already gaining.

It's the emotion that is killing our passion in gambling, if we don't understand the risk fully, then that's for sure that we will become too emotional when we experience a losing streak. Actually, losing streak is quite normal for people who constantly gamble, we just have to ensure that we are realistic in handling risk, otherwise we will experience this from time to time and we always end up making a bad decision.

Signs that we are becoming irresponsible, if we cant control ourselves and we keep chasing our losses, with doing this consistently, it will make our gambling journey short as we don't have an infinite bankroll, so sooner or later we will get busted.

I don't know if managing risk in gambling is something that can truly be done over the long run where we have absolutely no control over such period because sometimes as you say the emotions make us do something so stupid like continuing gambling until we lose all the money when we were winning big money  and kept continuing led by false emotions.

This happens quite commonly during gamblers and that is why if you check the chats of reputable casinos you will see some very rare huge or max wins during a long period of time and you will see a huge amount of losing bets,the bets are quite heavy in amounts put into them,most of these got busted trying to hit the max win with a huge bet by buying the bonus of slot machines.
