Taking risks must also have a calculation where you must understand and record all expenses / income if for example you fail then you have to try once to fail not to try again then you will fail for as long as possible, ups and downs must be normal when you are up in a business that has developed then the process you go through has been successful.

Failure does not entail an immediate need to fail again. You should, however, aim to gain from these failures and use them as bases for leveraging towards higher levels of achievement. There are a few attitudes that a person aspiring to be an entrepreneur or in business needs to have, such as being optimistic about whatever comes your way, having strong self-confidence, and never giving up on your dreams.
One of the reasons that it is worth being patient when creating and developing your own company is the understanding that the path to success involves lots of falls and missteps. When you see that the company in which you are active starts to grow, this testifies to a successful process already passed and brings an expected result.

...........

As it has been said, even the life we leave in is a risk because you don’t know when or which day you are going to die, so risk is like a potential act in life because anything that you don’t know how it will be in the future can still be a risk, so life is completely filled with risk and is left for you to take. more potential risk that will add up to your finances because, without risk, you can’t get rich. That is just a fact. But when talking about risks, know the risk that will favour you because not all risks favour everyone. 
 
Talking about bitcoin. To me, risk in bitcoin is education and exploration because if you are more attentive, you will gain more knowledge and at the same time gain more profit, but that deals with a higher level of patience. Having such knowledge and risking your funds is not a small deal, but we all know that bitcoin is reliable and also safe to invest in, and if you are patient, you will gain the reward for that. 

Risk is a reality, and it engulfs life from birth, as no one knows what will happen in the future. Taking risks is an integral part of life, and they can bring about potential rewards, especially in financial matters. However, it is important to be aware of the risks that are taken and to select those risks that are beneficial.

The analysis of Bitcoin risk would consider education and exploration. To invest money in Bitcoin, a person should be knowledgeable and patient as it is difficult to make an instant profit from such investments. Conversely, investing wisely can yield profitable yet safe returns on Bitcoin. In the long run, patience and enough knowledge can result in satisfying rewards.

Well, despite that there is a huge losing probability than winning, I still don't agree that gambling is a place to lose our money. Of course, not a place to make money but saying if we want to lose our money then we gamble, is a wrong thing.

These are the reasons why people are gambling;
 - hoping for luck and multiplying their money ( these people will always lose rather than win)
 - solely for entertainment only ( often win)

Maybe I'm wrong but once we are too emotional and hungry to win, the more likely to we lose our bets.
Well, nothing is absolute, but think of it this way: if gambling wasn't profitable, then why would so many casinos operate? Unfortunately, the majority of gamblers lose more than they earn, and I personally don't recall making any reasonable amount of money until I started being involved in sports betting, which so far has provided a decent boost in earnings.

Gambling isn't a form of investment, and anticipating huge returns Even though it's possible, I find it quite reckless to rely on it for revenue. Even if the chances of winning were actually equal, our human nature would still prevent most of us from earning.

Winning is addictive and losing makes you curious. Isn't that how many gamblers feel? and this is what makes them return to gambling and continue placing bets even though they often lose. And even though the results of gambling are somewhat uncertain, because gambling is full of unexpected surprises, this is what causes many people to have high hopes for the gambling they do. Where, even though they have often experienced defeat or suffered losses and some quite big defeats, they have the belief that everything will be replaced by just one big win that they might get. a ridiculous belief that can only lead a person to huge losses in gambling.


And it is clear that gambling is not a place to invest or just to make a profit. And nothing more than gambling is just a form of entertainment to get sensation and pleasure, and we have to pay dearly for that, especially if we cannot control and understand gambling as well as possible.

I believe that life is not ones and zeros, while we could agree that there are radical level people who do either side completely, I believe that 99.99% of the world does it both. Sometimes we save amazingly, sometimes we spend like crazy, sometimes we make small mistakes that end up being bad, sometimes we save money just a bit.

We will only find out how valuable the money we earn is when our finances run low, where this situation forces us to live more frugally. But this is better than someone who squanders money and spends money like crazy without thinking about what will happen in the future, and when his finances start to run low, instead of realizing his bad behavior, he instead makes quite dangerous decisions and can be detrimental. have fatal consequences. which can have a bad impact on his financial situation, namely by taking out loans, which behavior will only cause serious financial problems. It's a stupid thing, but many people behave like that, making a decision carelessly without considering what the future consequences will be.

Quote
There isn't just saving or spending, those are not like two options that you pick at 22 years old and live accordingly until 62. Technically speaking I have saved a lot of money back in the day, as in literally bought myself a brand new car, that was a perfect year for me and I made so much money and saved, but also right now I am in big debt as well, it is the same person, sometimes situations change.

When you are between the ages of 22 and 62, there are two types of choices that can be made and lived out: saving and spending money. Life situations change unexpectedly, and at one moment a person may have saved a lot of money and feel financially stable, while at another moment they could be overwhelmed by huge debts. This is an indication that life contains many risks and challenges that one should be prepared to face with wisdom in handling financial matters whenever they change.

Manchester City are going to Spain with a really improved morale.  Smiley  They did an amazing work against Crystal Palace today. Kevin de Bruyne's performance of 2 goals and 1 assist must have made Guardiola really happy. When he plays solidly the team are likely to win much easier like in this example. His intelligence is really valuable for the team.

Haaland also scored finally but I still have doubts about his performance against Real Madrid in three days. I don't like his performances in big games. Let's see if he will prove me wrong this time. Real Madrid players have an advantage by the way because they played their last game six days ago and they don't have any game until facing Manchester City.  Smiley
The match against Crystal palace is a positive capital to be confident to face Real madrid at the Bernabeu, although we cannot compare Crystal Palace with real madrid but in my opinion there is a positive psychological boost from this victory. of course guardiola will be very happy with KDB because he managed to produce two very good goals for Manchester City in the match against Crystal Palace, and Haaland I think he might return to being fierce even though he only got one goal in this match.

Yes, if you look at it, Real Madrid has a little more time to prepare for the meeting of Manchester City and Real Madrid, but I think 3 days is enough for Manchester City to rest, although it is relatively short too, but I think Man Citu must be ready for the match on the 10th.
I myself am very confused about which team will get the victory in this match, whether it is Manc City or Real Madrid because it cannot be denied that both have a positive and stable improvement in these weeks, so it will be very difficult to determine where we will bet.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 06, 2024, 04:47:57 PM
We have an El Clasico in this month, right! Let's say the current point gap is maintained until the El Clasico. Even if Barcelona win at Santiago Bernabeu there will still be five points between. Even in that case I don't think Barcelona can get so close to take the lead later on. However I don't expect Real Madrid to lose that game in the first place.  Grin

Barcelona can't defend well and the previous El Clasico in the league ended by Real Madrid's victory as well. You know what Real Madrid did in the Spanish Super Cup finale too (4-1). I think Real Madrid will beat them home too and secure their La Liga championship.
If I'm not mistaken it was in the match in week 32 for the el clasico match, Barcelona visited in this match, in my opinion it will be very difficult for Barcelona to get a victory with Real Madrid, it is unlikely to get a victory in a bad Barcelona situation like now, even if the Barcelona scenario can win the match, but indeed the difference in points on Real Madird and Barcelona is too far to catch up and Real Madrid can collect more points in the next match easily.

The Spanish Super Cup really made Barcelona exhausted, the 4-1 score was very far from what we often imagine about Barcelona, which is a team of the strongest rivals that Real Madrid has, but currently the conditions are not so good, sometimes there is a moment where the consistency of Bacelona is lost lately, I don't know what is affecting them but in my opinion it will be very difficult to face Real Madrid for the current conditions, the thing that becomes interesting is whether Barcelona will succeed in revenge in this match because of the defeat in the Spanish Super League match or even they have to admit that Real Madrid is now in a strength that they cannot match.
426  Economy / Economics / Re: Going to war means let's ulter the economic progression on: April 05, 2024, 11:18:55 PM
War brings chaos and destruction and death. Like the OP noted, war alters the economic and social growth of both parties involved. Even when the war clearly brings forth a victor, the victor also suffers economic consequences from the war. I wouldn’t exactly say the effects is felt more on the world than in the countries actually fighting the war.

Obviously, the impact is felt in the surrounding regions and all over. Goods and services normally produced in that region and exported to various parts of the earth would be affected, drastically reduced or even stopped. Warring parties would have to conserve resources for their own citizens as the normal rate of the production of goods and services would have been reduced.
What is certain is that war is a bad action, both through physical and non-physical actions, because it will result in physical violence and blockades in both countries which will have an impact on the economy. So if a war breaks out between the two countries, of course it will not only impact the two warring countries, but also various countries in the world. War can even cause food prices in a country to increase. The impact may initially only be a small change, but if the war is prolonged it can change the world economy drastically in the long term.

Because of course war is not just a small initial change, but a significant initial change. The deployment of large amounts of military force can also result in large expenditures, as happened in the Russia vs Ukraine and Israel vs Palestine wars. However, what is clear is that war not only takes lives and physical casualties, but also has a huge impact on both countries and also neighboring countries. Apart from that, other economic burdens including the construction of refugee camps, trauma caused by war, the collapse of the economic system in both countries, and the impact of weapons radiation are quite worrying in the long term.

War can result in physical violence, blockades, and enormous economic damage not only to the countries at war but also to the international community at large. In a practical context, the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and Palestine show that wars have a number of costs in terms of military expenditure as well as negative consequences for socio-economic development over time. Apart from causing loss of life and destruction of human life and material culture, war also carries a heavy economic burden for the governments involved. Therefore, war does not only have a limited impact on the conflicting parties, but also has a wider impact.

One of the negative impacts of war is increasing food prices, draining government funds, and causing many detrimental impacts such as the establishment of refugee camps, post-traumatic stress disorder, destruction of the economic system, and radiation weapons. Given this situation, society should try to find alternative solutions by avoiding war so as not to cause wider negative impacts.
427  Economy / Economics / Re: how to survive inflation and economy hardship on: April 05, 2024, 11:02:25 PM
What do you guys think about this? Would this be helpful? And what do you think will help us in this time of economic hardship?

Am sorry I have to change the topic of discussion from how to reduce inflation to how to survive inflation and economic hardship sudjested by sokani.
Apart from starting to control our expenses, one way is to increase our income, improve our skills so that we can look for additional jobs or also do double jobs, but the second is only available in many rich countries, while in developing and even poor countries it is difficult to get even one job, let alone two.
I tried to check that food costs consume the most of our money, and this happened to me not only because food ingredients increased significantly but in some moments we often bought excess food so that it ended up not being eaten and thrown away and that was a form of waste.
Another way to survive inflation is to start investing with discipline. Investing will later help us overcome inflation which makes the cost of living increasingly high and not commensurate with the salary received.

I agree with this that we must continue to improve the skills and abilities that we have, because this is the best way for us to continue to develop or simply maintain our position, both in the career world and the business world that we are currently involved in. because if we are too lazy to hone the skills and abilities we have, then be prepared to lose the job and business you are working on. In the world of careers, so that our careers can continue to develop, try to become someone who is irreplaceable and needed by the company where you work.


Food is a necessity, and we spend a lot of money on it every day. And buying enough food according to our needs is one way we can minimize our expenses every day. But I think, so that our expenses for daily needs can be minimized better, and live more economically, we not only have to pay attention to what items we buy, but also where we buy them. Because quite a few people, just because they follow their own prestige, are willing to spend a lot of money to shop at supermarkets, even though if they are able to lower their ego a little and decide to buy their necessities at traditional markets, they can get these purchases at a reasonable price. which is cheaper.

And talking about investment, many people think that one way to survive inflation is to invest.
428  Economy / Economics / Re: Church Business on: April 05, 2024, 10:26:53 PM
The most profitable and best-selling business is selling religion to ignorant people. because if you want to control stupid people then wrap bad things in good things, wrap falsehoods in holy Bible verses only for the benefit of yourself or a certain group, whether to enrich yourself or for the benefit of others. And this doesn't only apply to Christianity, but I think in almost every religion there are individuals who behave like this. However, this is not the only reason we decide to stop visiting places of worship, as long as our intentions are good, to get closer to the Creator.

And there is a question, "are these pastors really called or are they just looking for a way out of economic difficulties...?"
There may be some preachers or pastors in this world who honestly and sincerely serve without prioritizing personal interests and ignoring financial gain. Their congregation or ministry can provide them with donations and favors which they can then use to buy things like luxury jets or other wealth. But regardless of how wealth is acquired, there are ethical questions about how it is managed and whether it is spent wisely for the public good or solely for the benefit of individuals.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 05, 2024, 06:10:40 AM
With the previous victories of Manchester City and Arsenal, it indirectly makes Liverpool have to work extra so that they can continue to get good conditions, especially for standings problems.

Currently, by looking at the opponents they will face as well as playing home at Anfield I don't think this match will be too burdensome for Liverpool because they are definitely favorites and this will be an easy victory because Sheffield has nothing to be proud of at the moment so it will definitely be favorable for Liverpool.

Liverpool's odds in this match are only 1.10 which means that it already indicates that they are very favorites and indeed 3 points are easy with the performance they have at the moment especially with some players starting to return to the squad like Salah who has recovered then indeed this will really make Liverpool superpower and I have no doubt 3 points for them in this match.
Liverpool has enough time to continue to focus on the Premier League rather than Arsenal and Man City, which in the next few matches will need to save a little on players to prepare for the UCL. Meanwhile, Liverpool certainly has the advantage in conditions like this, no matter if the opponent is a lower class team, even Jurgen Klopp must be able to take advantage of this opportunity by using core players so that the game is more controlled. Sheffiled United no longer has high hopes because their position has been confirmed to be relegated to the 2nd caste of the Premier League along with 2 other teams Luton and Burnley. These three teams have only experienced playing in the EPL for one season and have had to swallow the bitter reality. I remain optimistic that Liverpool will again take the top of the standings from Arsenal because 3 points against Sheffield are really needed by Jurgen Klopp. There is a very interesting point difference if Liverpool continues its winning trend until the end of the season.
The match ended and the score in the end was as predicted beforehand where 3 points could be obtained by Liverpool in this match which made the top position they could get back after Arsenal took it.

The situation is not much different now, it's just that there are some things that Klopp needs to fix if he sees the match that happened yesterday. We know Liverpool's dominance was very pronounced in this match because apart from the possession of the ball they had in terms of opportunities it was also very visible what the difference was like but precisely in such strong dominance Liverpool struggled to create goals even they had to wait until the last 15 minutes of time before ensuring victory.
Indeed, this is also based on Sheffield focusing on defense but Liverpool should be better than that even though the score in this match is quite large but I am a little disappointed with what they did in this match.

Btw, another match where Chelsea hosted Manchester United actually made me interested in the end because this match actually featured a more active game and was worth watching.

Regardless of the type of gambling you play, and the gambling platform you visit. There is no guarantee that every time we gamble or bet, we will always get pleasure and profit. because when we talk about gambling, we are talking about mere possibilities. and if we are not able to control ourselves and our emotions when gambling, then let alone getting a profit, getting pleasure seems to be quite difficult for us to achieve. And as for the profits we gain and the pleasure we get when gambling, they are only temporary. Why is that, because when we are not able to control ourselves and our emotions well when gambling, then we will not only lose the amount of money we bet and the amount of money we win from gambling activities, but we will also lose the essence and pleasure of gambling. However, even though this is the case, this is not the only reason why someone can lose their interest in gambling. because in gambling, winning becomes addictive, and losing makes you more curious about gambling.
431  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much gambling can change a person and how low his mind can go. on: April 04, 2024, 10:06:32 PM
There is a term that is often called the domino effect of gambling addiction, where if this addiction is not cured immediately and does not receive proper treatment, loss after loss will continue to approach it. and the losses I mean are not only financial but also other losses that can affect the balance of life, behavior and harmony of a relationship.

The story about a teenager who had the heart to steal his parents' hard-earned money to gamble, this shows how dangerous it is when someone is addicted to gambling. Therefore, it is quite important for us to always be able to control ourselves as best as possible when gambling, and to be able to avoid any factors that could enable us to become addicted to gambling. Because as long as we are still gambling, and often play and bet on it, the potential for us to become addicted to gambling will always be there. Gambling is indeed full of sensations, pleasure and unexpected surprises, but we need to understand that the risk of loss caused by irresponsible gambling is greater than we think.

Efforts to involve popular influencers to join the gambling platform, namely 8ombard, is one strategy or step that can be said to be effective in expanding the reach and promoting the gambling platform. 8ombard will benefit from building relationships with influential people across multiple platforms, as they can help reach a wider target group, making it possible to gain more users.

Therefore, before deciding to choose an influencer who will join the platform, it is quite important to first carry out a careful analysis and evaluation. This is because the influence of influencers on a gambling platform is very crucial in efforts to develop a gambling platform. Where they will be directly responsible for making the platform have a good reputation in front of users, thereby influencing customer attitudes towards the gambling platform. And it cannot be denied that in the future they will be the public face of the platform you mentioned.

Manchester City will be the strongest team if they manage to get Mbappe because the quality that Mbappe has will encourage them to become a team that has goal-hungry front players. However, Manchester City efforts to get Mbappe are certainly not easy because Real Madrid will be at the forefront of getting Mbappe. But everything could change if Mbappe is more interested in playing in the Premier League then Manchester City or Liverpool will be his goal.

It would be great to watch Mbappe at Manchester City. I'm sure every Manchester City fan would want that. But we know that Mbappe had some problems before when he was in the same team with Neymar and Messi. He might have similar problems playing with Haaland. There are younger players at Real Madrid, so he can gain respect from them. And we can see him as a dominant character at Real Madrid. But when he plays with Haaland he might not be the dominant character. I think he will be more successful at Real Madrid.
The problem is that it will not be realistic especially for the financial problems that Manchester City has now.
With some pretty expensive players at Manchester City at the moment it is clear that bringing Mbappe is difficult to do unless he takes out some of the core players they have including Haaland.
It is difficult to bring together two players of Mbappe and Haaland's caliber in the squad which makes it unrealistic to expect Mbappe to be at Manchester City for next season.

In addition, if this possibility occurs I do not dare to say they will be fine in terms of FFP because now the issue of violations in Financial Fairplay for Manchester City has always been a never-ending issue so when there is a possibility of Mbappe to be in the Manchester City squad next season I do not dare to guarantee the reaction of several other clubs in the EPL about this because it will seem partial and the financial authorities in the EPL only look at small clubs like Everton or Nottingham but do not care about the finances of big clubs like Manchester City.

Manchester City has the same points now with Liverpool, so if Liverpool did not win there match today against Sheffield United it will seriously affect them but I believe is not a match Liverpool should be worried about because Sheffield United is not a club that would challenge Liverpool so if they win they will go back to there first position.
With the previous victories of Manchester City and Arsenal, it indirectly makes Liverpool have to work extra so that they can continue to get good conditions, especially for standings problems.

435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 04, 2024, 02:53:02 PM
Things started to go upside down for Marseille once again these days. They lost their last two games. Maybe those games weren't the most comfortable ones but I would still expect to see better performances than that. 0 goal against PSG and Rennes combined... They couldn't score against PSG home while their opponent was playing with 10 players either.  Sad

These results caused the gap with the fourth position to reach seven points. There are Nice and Lens between as well so Marseille are just making things really difficult for themselves by that. While there are seven weeks left I started to think Marseille won't be making it to the Champions League.
It is difficult indeed for Marseille after their 3 consecutive wins in the last 2 weeks, they actually have to swallow another defeat that is not too desirable considering their current position they have to try to be in the standings better but with the performance they are showing at the moment I think it is clearly a little disturbing for Marseille especially they should currently be able to try more because the Champions League slot for Ligue 1 has increased by 1 at this time.

But it is a little difficult with their current conditions where consistency is always a problem for them and their targets seem to be branched because they are still in the Europa League, making them even bother to determine which goal they should take.

Currently, the Europa League for Marseille is quite surprising because they managed to pass through several phases and are currently in the quarter-finals but indeed this is still a risk considering that for the Europa League at this time there are still several other leading clubs such as Liverpool, Milan and Leverkusen who are still one of the favorite clubs.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 04, 2024, 10:39:32 AM
In terms of dominance they only excel in the utilization of momentum for opportunities only I think because seeing from what happened in this match Juventus did play the same as usual because seeing from what they did I think the performance did not change too much.
But indeed the utilization of Juventus momentum is better, especially for the second half where the opportunities they have are successfully converted and 2 goals I think it is a good situation for Juventus.

At least this can make them take one step to ensure themselves in the final even though there is still leg 2 but at least this match with an aggregate of 2 goals it can already be a good benchmark for Juventus. In addition, this is also a reply because previously they had to lose to Lazio in Serie A and the victory in Leg 1 this time is certainly a revenge that is like waiting for what they will do in Leg 2 later.
Juventus is this level of a team now, sure at the start of the season they were better, but looking at the situation right now we can easily say that they are not as good as they used to be.

This means that expecting them to be as good as they were at the start of the season would be naive, and betting accordingly would make you lose money as well. Doesn't mean they won't win games, they can still win games, even against great teams, but they probably would lose a lot more so it should be something we need to be careful about as well. This should be the situation that we have on the long run and if we could make that work then we are going to do a lot better with time as well, that is what matters for us the most.
their performance has improved a little? more precisely, their current performance is not disturbed by the deduction of points and the problem of injury points that really bothered them last season.
This season the difference is only there because when we talk in terms of performance Juventus remains the same as last season.

As for when talking about expectations at the start of the season I don't think it's a naive thing because looking at the situation of Juventus this season they clearly have an advantage because with their scattering in the mid-table last season Juventus don't have much to think about and only have to focus on Serie A alone but the problem is the expectations we have are a little bigger because in the end Juventus' performance is not as good as that which makes it difficult.
Their great opportunity cannot be maximized properly and that is what makes Juventus' situation a little regrettable for this season because instead of competing in the current champion position, they are scattered with difficulty to secure the 2nd position they previously had.
437  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling addiction is not about the money you could win; it's about the "win" it on: April 03, 2024, 10:21:23 PM
Gambling does not always revolve around money. To those who actively participate in it, the thrill and adrenaline that you get from such activities are beyond measure, unlike any other. This is seen as entertainment or a method of getting away from pressure and duties associated with their elevated status and lifestyle. However, involvement with friends can be a key element too. Gamblers often belong to the same social groups who partake in gambling as a way of life. Involving activities like drinking and socializing while playing can be a form of bonding with their peers and experiencing membership in a distinct group.

The problem of gambling addiction is not just a matter of getting fun from entertainment. Psychological factors, such as an adrenaline rush or the excitement of winning, are also involved in maintaining compulsive gambling. However, it is fair to say that socializing, having fun, and drinking may be one aspect of something bigger.

Basically, children may be a little reluctant to enter a brick-and-mortar casino, as the place is filled with adults. but taking a minor to a place where they are not allowed to go (a brick and mortar casino), this is clearly behavior that can harm the child. Because it is feared that later children will imitate what their parents do (gamble). Because he is still a minor and does not yet have financial independence and mature thinking, it is feared that his gambling activities could hinder his growth and development and have a negative impact on the child's future. Apart from that, this can also encourage the child's behavior to be dishonest and often lie, in order to get some money for gambling.

However, compared to physical casinos, it seems that online casinos are more dangerous than physical casinos, because nowadays children's lives cannot be separated from cellphones and social media. On social media there are lots of advertisements and content related to gambling. Therefore, it is very important for us to always ensure and monitor our child's development and behavior as best as possible.

The physical, conventional casinos will never go out of style. The physical casinos can give you what online casinos cannot, and this is a genuine experience that just cannot be matched in any other place; the tables, croupiers, everything is real! In the same manner, they feature different environments including music or live entertainment, high-end service in luxury ambience. To maintain their preeminence in the digitalized age, some traditional casinos need to change. A lot of them have expanded their business and now operate online as well or provide their customers with the gambling opportunity on their platforms too. Moreover, some casinos are now embracing new technologies such as augmented reality to enhance the visitor experience.

While the land-based gambling industry is vulnerable to the competition from online casinos, they have their own advantage, which is the integration of technology and delivering special services to its clients, hence helping them stay afloat. It will most likely be the situation for some time, with each form of gambling appealing to specific market segments.

In terms of dominance they only excel in the utilization of momentum for opportunities only I think because seeing from what happened in this match Juventus did play the same as usual because seeing from what they did I think the performance did not change too much.
But indeed the utilization of Juventus momentum is better, especially for the second half where the opportunities they have are successfully converted and 2 goals I think it is a good situation for Juventus.

At least this can make them take one step to ensure themselves in the final even though there is still leg 2 but at least this match with an aggregate of 2 goals it can already be a good benchmark for Juventus. In addition, this is also a reply because previously they had to lose to Lazio in Serie A and the victory in Leg 1 this time is certainly a revenge that is like waiting for what they will do in Leg 2 later.
maybe the factor of competing at home is one of Juventus advantages in being able to take advantage of this momentum.
and I'm not the only one who would say this in fact several people would say the same thing when they saw the more confident performance from most of the Juventus players.
If you say that Juventus performance is still the same as usual, maybe that's true, but the confidence that Juventus players have is very clear, like Chiesa, who previously played against Lazio when they played away in Serie A yesterday, looked less focused and when shooting the ball seemed to lack confidence, whereas in the competition who is different and playing at home, Chiesa looks more confident in shooting the ball and scoring 1 score.
this might be a step closer to qualifying for the final round but away matches always give Juventus fans tension and worry because previously Lazio was able to beat Juventus by a narrow score and all Allegri has to do now is provide a defensive strategy to not concede more than the aggregate score owned Juventus.
That could be one reason that makes sense because after all, when playing at home there must be a situation that does make a club more confident because they play in front of their own supporters which makes confidence a little more increased but overall it doesn't have much impact because looking at this match their midfield is still very chaotic and we can see that in this match they played a little safe especially after scoring a goal which made Lazio more trying to get momentum and control the ball in the match that took place.

This situation seems to have to be changed especially if they really want to aim for the one trophy that is still possible for them to get for this Italian Cup.
As for the second leg later, as long as they don't concede more than two goals then everything can still be fine and I think with an aggregate of 2 goals at this time Juventus should be even more motivated to make a breakthrough so that they can get good results and secure the final position for this season.
