There are many people who are financially weak but they think that by gambling they can win a lot of money and become rich because of this middle class and lower class people are addicted to gambling to a greater extent and there are some people who are financially very strong but they gamble for pleasure. And those who gamble for pleasure understand the real fun of gambling. Because they don't care whether they win or lose money, their goal is to enjoy gambling. And those who gamble to get rich always gamble with fear so they don't get the real fun of gambling
The wrong mindset about gambling can easily land gamblers in big trouble. One should not think that gambling is the best place to double one's money without the risk of losing it all, but this mindset exists among some gamblers regardless of their skill in a game.

Gambling is just a game and should be treated like a game. Winnings are just a bonus even though every gambler is obliged to pay for the games they play. This mindset seems difficult to find among gamblers because almost all gamblers gamble to make money. I personally also had the wrong mindset about gambling, but in the end I realized that it would not bring me pleasure.

Maybe Sevilla's series of draws has made their double chances also increase, so maybe that's why Sevilla are quite the favorites if there is a draw again. But I think that will definitely not happen again and the series of draws will definitely end with Real Sociedad winning later. I'm not taking Sevilla lightly, it's just that they can't do much with their progress so far. They will not give any surprises other than defeat and it is quite difficult for them to be able to show positive results through this match. So at least there will be a narrow win in this match with a score of 2-1 or more than that.
A Real Sociedad win seems more reasonable than expecting a Sevilla win. You're right about Sevilla, they haven't done anything extraordinary either in La Liga or in the Champions League. Sevilla's performance is stable in La Liga with 5 draws, but with it they have lost 10 points.

I don't expect any surprises from Sevilla in this week's match, but a draw looks good for them. Real Sociedad's performance is also not very stable, but Sociedad has a good chance of winning considering they have home advantage. Meanwhile, Sevilla must fight to win instead of planning for minimum points or losing to Sociedad. The main goal is clear, they need to improve their position in the standings, which is currently struggling in 13th place.

Yeah Milan certainly seems to be in a lot of trouble right now with injuries. Stefano Pioli has very limited options right now for the upcoming CL match and is to manage the team for the Serie A and CL match both. It is a very difficult situation for Ac milan right now and certainly Dortmund has the upper hand right now. Still it's AC Milan and I have seen they have come out strong in such matches sometimes even though they have very limited options on the team. So I would say Dortmund are the favourites but AC Milan are also not completely off the books.
When Milan was able to overcome PSG's resistance some time ago, I think there was optimism about them when they faced Dortmund. Milan is playing at home and they should play with high confidence and motivation, but the injury problems experienced by the team can certainly affect performance.

This match is difficult to predict even though Milan seems to be the favorite to win based on the probability. Dortmund will certainly try their best to maintain their consistent run to lead the group, but I don't give them much confidence in beating Milan easily. In my opinion, Milan's chance of winning over Dortmund is 60:40, meaning Milan is the favorite, although not completely.

Deep down inside I feel that David Moyes would have probably been a great coach for Manchester united, he succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson but his start was not as they thought it would have been but personally I think they should have given more time to him so he could blend in.
Sir Alex Ferguson did not have immediate success at Manchester united he took time before he transformed the team I believe Manchester would have not been where they are if they had given some time to David Moyes.
Everything will not be easy because as far as I know there is a lot of pressure at Manchester United. Every coach will feel the same way because of the high demands and pressure from internal and external teams. David Moyes has the same story as several coaches after him, meaning that all the coaches who have coached Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson have failed.

Ten Hag might be better if management can put a lot of trust in him to stay. The problem is, they have to invest in a lot of expenses where the squad needed to restore the team's glory is very expensive. Ten Hag has the ability to build a middle class team like Ajax, so he still has the possibility to do it with a big team like Manchester United.

2023/2024 EPL campaign is one of the competitive campaigns for elite teams, because we have witnessed the decline and rise of EPL clubs this season. Don't underestimate Manchester City and Liverpool because they're the main competitors in EPL and they don't easily give up on their opposition. Manchester City vs Liverpool and Newcastle vs Chelsea are the two big matches this weekend. I will enough time to watch these top games, definitely going to full actions of the Chelsea game because I'm a fan and I can't afford to missed out this season.
Both teams will never underestimate each other because they both know that the opposing team's strength is as good as their own. Liverpool have recovered from their slump last season and so far they have become the team that could be favored for the title instead of just Arsenal and Manchester City. Liverpool's advantage is that they didn't have a tough game before against Brentford, but Manchester City did when they were forced to draw against Chelsea.

Manchester City has home advantage which can help them be motivated and have good confidence to win. However, it is not as easy as imagined, of course because Liverpool is the other biggest threat that Pep Guardiola and his troops need to worry about.

You are right about Manchester City playing well in the Premier League but we can't forget the team lost a lot of points so far during this season and they are not performing as well as the last season. Maybe Manchester City can be a good team in the Champions League but I don't expect to see a good performance from them as we saw in the last season because Manchester City lost many players and unlike many other teams they didn't spend enough money to hire good players during the summer.
Losing 8 points in 12 games does not mean Manchester City is having a worse season than last season. Manchester City are still leading the standings at the moment and that is good news regardless of how many points they lose. It really doesn't make sense for Manchester City to win 12/12 matches when other teams have squad depth and attractive games to score goals and get points. So the defeats and draws that Manchester City has achieved so far are a real consequence of the increasing quality of the other teams' play. That's good for them, but it doesn't prove that Manchester City's form is down.

Especially in the Champions League, Manchester City is unbeaten in the last 4 matches. They have ensured that they qualify for the round of 16 and then Guardiola looks like he will rotate some of his best players. Manchester City's current focus is on getting better performance for positive match results in the Premier League, but they will not damage their winning record in the group stage.

This actually happens more often at Juventus compared to other teams both in Italy and other European leagues. Juventus is caught cheating for things that don't actually need to be done. The last case, they falsify financial reports, simply because they are afraid of getting FFP penalties. In fact, this could have been prevented if Juventus had not forced themselves to bring in Ronaldo, even though bringing in Ronaldo was the right decision, because they managed to win the Serie A title, which in fact without Ronaldo they could have won the Title. Instead of wanting to earn more money with bring in super star, they need to pay high salary, and making their financial not in good position. Allegri, who came with an unbalanced financial condition, made him have to work hard to find players who could play according to his strategy, also not too expensive. Previous failures were normal because they were in a transition period. By now, Allegri should be able to show his abilities again as one of the best coaches in Serie A.
This season Juventus must be more balanced in everything and correct its mistakes in previous seasons. Juventus have been consistent this season and their performance is quite good to be the main candidate in the title race, but things will not be easy because Inter and several other top teams are also hoping for the same thing. The next match is very challenging for both teams, but it looks like Juventus is not the favorite at home.

Inter will lose their position if they lose to Juventus, while Juventus will be safe because they have a large points gap from Milan. Of course, all fans will be looking forward to this match considering that both of them will fight for the top position.

The ACL injury that Gavi got is not just an ordinary injury, it is a very serious injury, currently Barcelona is fighting to be in the top 3 and in the UCL they are fighting to be able to win all the matches that will occur. Barcelona management was reportedly very angry with this incident, they said that dropping Gavi as a Strater was a stupid decision, hopefully, with the sophistication of medical treatment today, Gavi can recover from his injuries quickly.
It's natural that Barcelona is angry because they have to accept the fact that this season they have to lose Gavi until the end of the season. Xavi has to be quite realistic about the depth of his squad because Barcelona is not completely safe from the storm of injuries that befell its players. However, several academy players could be options for Xavi following a serious injury suffered by one of his mainstay players.

Barcelona has a creative midfielder who can help them gain stability in the game. De Jong, Pedri and Ilkay are 3 midfielders who are good enough for Xavi to rely on, but several other midfielders must also be on the bench because each player needs rotation at one time or another. Fermin Lopez and Marc Casadó are two great midfielder prospects at Barcelona, ​​so Xavi may need to give them plenty of minutes when others need rest.

This is very bad news for Xavi, his players have been in the treatment room one after another this season. If Gavi has to be sidelined until the end of the season then there is no other choice for Barcelona management other than recruiting new players in the transfer market next January, or re-trusting La Masia academy players to be included in the first team. Because we know that Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis, or the way it is usually done with loan scenarios, I don't know exactly whether they still have this quota.
Gavi has finished his season, I mean he won't be available until the end of the season because of the injury he suffered. Unfortunately he ended the season too soon and the serious injury he picked up may mean he is out of form when he returns. Obviously it is a huge loss for Barcelona, ​​Spain and the player, but injuries are something that cannot be completely avoided in this physical game.

Xavi needs to get another player who can occupy Gavi's position in the Barcelona squad. Fermin Lopez is the most likely and he will get more chances to prove his worth. Fatigue due to the large number of matches scheduled makes several players vulnerable to injury, but this problem does not only affect Barcelona but many other teams also suffer from it including Real Madrid.

We've all been waiting for this game all season; it's survival of the fittest, everything is clenched and everyone is wagging their thumbs at their respective favorite clubs to win. Pep Guardiola will not accept failures this time around; he is determined to win every game this season, without holding back and always looking forward. Manchester City cannot lose at home to Liverpool this season though this is football and anything can happen; defeats at Etihad Stadium remain out of the question. Jurgen Klopp and his team will only attempt, and they may be content with a draw tie.
Losing, winning and drawing are just part of the game. Both teams are expected to give their best which will benefit their respective teams, but developing the right strategy will differentiate the final goal of each team. Sometimes plans fail and don't go according to expectations, but currently both teams have the same chance of winning even though Manchester City is likely to secure 3 points at home.

Manchester City cannot afford to drop points if they want to stay at the top of the standings, but nothing is impossible for them to lose or draw against Liverpool this weekend. Pep Guardiola must increase his focus on Liverpool's game and performance which has started to improve since the start of the season. Liverpool have been much better than last season and it looks like they are ready to compete for the title until the end of the season.

I think this is true. Guardiola constantly mocks his achievements in the Champions League, some think that this is politeness and a good sense of humor, but in fact it is a clear realization that if we think globally, then Guardiola is a loser in the Champions League. He always had the best teams (perhaps even the best in history) but at the same time he won the Champions League only 3 times. Of course, he wants to get more titles in order to write his name in history more solidly.
Regarding Pep Guardiola, it really depends on the perspective of the person judging. I like part of his sense of humor, but I also admit that he has failed to win more titles with his best team in the Champions League. He has won 2 titles with Barcelona and 1 title with Manchester City, but he failed to win it with Bayern Munich even though he was very successful in domestic competitions.

I like his style of play and the way he formulates the right strategy for his players. Pep Guardiola is one of the best coaches so far and it is not surprising that he will still fail in the Champions League because this competition is very tight. What I have to admit is, Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League to date.

Too much, that I don't know how much loss has been suffered because of the illusion that is too high to achieve. It is not impossible to win a bet with odds that big, but you definitely know that you will never get a good winning percentage even if you bet hundreds of times.

Instead of copying other people's bet slips with such big odds, I tend to think it's logical to get for 5-7 games that you are most sure can give you a win. This is an option although I know you seem to want to have fun in the hunt for destiny.

It's really interesting that the trend is almost taking a different shape from the usual as Girona has successfully sneaked to the top of the table without people noticing until they got their and attentions were now draged to them because they don't usually get to this point most seasons.

Barcelona is looking like the only team amongst the usual big three you did mentioned that will be Left behind this season probably due to their too many crisis they are facing since the season started, they have been good until recently they started looking average with their performance but hopefully they will get back on their feet, Atletico Madrid has really been hitting hard this season trying to find their way to the top but having little hitches along the way but they can be very sure to qualify for UCL by the end of the season.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are three teams that could potentially throw Girona from the top of the standings to the bottom of the rankings, so I don't feel they have lost everything despite being a few points behind Girona at the moment. Moreover, Barcelona is not the only team that will be left behind when it comes to the player crisis, Real Madrid will also be involved since many of their players have to be absent due to injury.

I don't know for sure how many Real Madrid players will be out through injury until January, but losing Bellingham, Camavinga and Vinicius will have a negative impact on their performance. Barcelona experienced the same case due to player injuries, but currently most of its players have recovered even though they have to find their form again after a long absence.

AC Milan vs Fiorentina

An interesting match apart from the derby match between Juventus and Iter Milan in week 13, this match will determine the position of Milan and Fiorentina in the top four of the standings. Referring to the last four matches between the two, Milan have never won with two draws and two defeats, while Fiorentina won one win and the rest they lost.

Pioli squad has the advantage of playing at home, but this season the San Siro has also been a place where they have failed get full points several times, Rafael Leao injury and Giroud's suspension have been a major blow for Pioli, at a time when they need a complete squad to make good fortune in Serie A at the same time at UCL.

In the Fiorentina camp, Vincenzo also found several of his players in the treatment room due to injuries. Milan must be wary of Vincenzo ambition to bring his squad into the top four of the standings and must not be underestimated. However, I think this match will end in a draw, even though on paper Milan is superior.
It is hoped that Milan will be able to stop their negative trend when they play Fiorentina in the next match. It's hard to believe that Milan lost quite a lot of points in their last 4 matches with 2 draws and 2 losses, but the probability of winning should be very good especially when they play at home. Of course it would be very bad if in the end Milan still failed to win the match against Fiorentina, but I can think otherwise where victory is something that is possible.

Atalanta vs Napoli and Juventus vs Inter are two other matches that will also be interesting in week 13. Milan must take advantage of everything to win at home because they have the potential to cut several points from the top ranked team, especially if they cannot win the match. But let's see what happens next week.

If you look at strength, PSG is indeed much stronger, but this season PSG is often inconsistent and so is Monaco, this is the same team that is inconsistent in my opinion, so anything can happen.
While the smaller odds for PSG are indeed feasible because the winning percentage is greater for them because it all looks at the team's strength.

For the whole of this season, even though PSG is inconsistent, I don't see any strong competition from other teams to stop PSG from winning Ligue 1 because other teams are also inconsistent, so no one can take advantage of PSG's underperformance to leave them on the standings.
PSG is much better based on the quality of the team and the depth of the squad, but it is always difficult to maintain winning consistency especially when you lose so many quality players in the squad. PSG have lost Neymar, Messi, Marco Verratti, Sergio Ramos and several others this season, while they have also replaced previous coach with new coach Luis Enrique. Things are not going smoothly, but Luis Enrique has good statistics so far with only 1 loss and 3 draws in 12 matches.

There is not much difference between Monaco and PSG in terms of points, both are only 3 points apart at the moment. PSG is playing at home and that is an advantage that can be exploited, which also gives them a high probability of winning the match over Monaco. The results and course of the match cannot be predicted with certainty, but based on probability, I think we can see some gaps between the two.

Looking their' recent performance, I don't think they will relegated. I believe they will comeback, but after all Everton is just Everton, they can't going up to reach top 7 and will end near bottom position.

However I remember before this season started, many people were praise Burnley and they think Burnley could be a new contender, but they're currently stay at the lowest position lol.
Never mind Burnley, Manchester United, which previously ended the season in 3rd place last season, also performed below expectations in the first 12 matches this season. Everything is difficult to predict, even teams that were quite doubtful last season have performed so well this season, such as Tottenham and Liverpool.

Everton are in the relegation zone not because their performance is too bad, but they were deducted 10 points for violating FFP. Of course it has taken a toll on them this season, but Everton can still do their best and recover from it all before the season is over. I don't know what will happen to Manchester City and Chelsea if they are also found to be in breach, but the current rumors are anything but certain.

Are we gonna have the same discussion of all the years about Bundelisga? In the end is gonna be win by Bayern Munich, no matter if the team in front is Leverkusen Dortmund Leipzig, they always make the impossible to give the tittle to the bavarian team.

So i hope to at least Leverkusen do a very good performance in both Bundesliga and here Europa League.
Should the Bundesliga teams be comfortable with what has become normal instead of getting up and doing better to stop Bayern Munich's dominance? That is the question for your question because so far Bayern Munich is a team whose dominance is difficult to stop and frankly the Bundesliga is just a farmers' league for them.

Something must continue to change in the Bundesliga so that the tough competition at the top can make these teams scary in Europe. So far only Bayern Munich is scary in the Champions League, while several other teams find it very difficult to prove their quality even though they can be expected to perform well. Leverkusen is different this season and they are expected to stop Bayern Munich's title dominance, then they also have to prove themselves in the Europa League by winning the title this season.

Yes, that's probably why I said otherwise, but now I understand what has been explained now.

I believe it is certain that ATH will pass after the 4-year cycle, because what I have seen the previous bitcoin price history is that after halving it is said to be a cycle, there is also an exact time we never know, it's just that many estimates are at the end of 2024/25 that I often see from bitcoin analysis experts.
I don't dispute that the vast majority of bitcoin investors now are those trying to take advantage of the cycle to get huge returns after the halving. Bitcoin is definitely a good idea as an alternative currency to pay for things, but its price volatility tends to be the target of investors rather than its use case.

Halving is the best fundamental to expect an increase in bitcoin prices and this increase is indeed very expected considering that halving will make miners get lower rewards. Without an increase in prices, bitcoin miners will go bankrupt because they are unable to cover mining costs or operational costs, so they also hope to profit from the halving.

There should be no comparison between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Aston Villa are more of a coordinated club than Manchester United.
And get it clear now, Manchester United can never follow in the same pathway followed by the blues last season, Chelsea employed a poor coach who have never managed a club that has moved pass the top ten in the Premier League. That said, Graham Potter has never managed a big club like Chelsea not to even talk about the pressure that comes from the Champions League.

He was given too much time amd yet nothing positive came up. Erik Ten Hag is different, for if you have seen Erik Ten Hag manage Ajax against Real Madrid and other clubs in the Champions League, you won't be saying this. Erik Ten Hag just needs a proper defensive midfielder and new set of defenders.
In fact, Manchester United is still a better team than other mid-table teams like Aston Villa. Manchester United's performance has of course never been the same as when they were managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, but this team is a better team than Aston Villa until now. Moreover, the Premier League has not yet closed the first half of this season so there are many changes that can still be expected from the performance of each team.

Manchester United are not as good as before, but they have good squad depth to compete in the Champions League zone. Anything is still possible because the season is still long and of course some new players can be expected to spark more good performances this season. They have problems in defense and all lines, I mean the midfielders and attackers are also not performing very well this season.
