521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 09, 2024, 03:24:45 PM
Most people think the same, it will be very difficult to beat Leverkusen at their home. Moreover, Leverkusen is in a great performance recently. All the players have big motivation to win Europa league trophy to win treble winners. If they can win it, they also have a chance to finish this season with 0 defeat in all competitions. It makes senses if Leverkusen is favored to qualify for the next round. They are leading with 2 goals, they have the advantage for the match today.

Despite trying with all their might, this will not change anything as Roma will not be able to beat Leverkusen or reverse the previous 2 point aggregate. I think it's just a mental problem where Roma only got up some time ago while Leverkusen have faced opponents who made them difficult so they have got that winning mentality to this day.

It would be an impressive end to the season if Leverkusen still doesn't lose this season and it will set a record that no other club will be able to break. The most important thing now is that we have to look forward to this match and cheer for both teams to put on an interesting game.
No one thought that AS Roma would be able to reach the final, because their journey was very difficult to do that. They have to face a club that is unbeaten and not only that, they will also be faced with the fact that they have to start the match with a 2 goal defeat because Leverkusen won 2-0 in the first leg.

AS Roma will have to work hard and it will probably depend on their luck too, because it is not easy to make Leverkusen concede at least 2 goals to make the score equal first. Xabi Alonso and his troops have prepared this as well as possible, especially as they also have a better mentality after their success in the Bundesliga this season. They no longer have a burden in the Bundesliga, in contrast to AS Roma who still have to fight to get the best place in the final Serie A standings. They have to divide their focus into two at once and this is not something easy.

If Roma lose, I think they will definitely get it and there is no room for Roma to be able to reverse the aggregate against Leverkusen. It is very difficult to face a very strong team in all competitions and therefore it would be best if it could not be forced then Roma should think about being able to shift Atalana's position in the standings.

That is much more important and let Atalanta focus on both and Roma can take the opportunity to win when Atalanta's players are tired after returning from the European league. I'm curious considering the situation is so similar that we will be given an unexpected surprise to get a place in the champions league at the end of the season.

Roma has two options to get into the Champions League: 1.) Win the Europa League 2.) Take 5th place in Serie A. While both options look unlikely, the second option is much more realistic. Therefore, I agree that Roma needs to choose one thing and the best choice is to save maximum energy for the game with Atalanta.
By the way, an interesting option is if Atalanta wins the Europa League and Roma takes 5th place in Serie A, then there will be 6 Italian teams in the Champions League next season.
The 2 options they currently have are both not easy options, because in the European League they have to catch up 2 goals down first before they can turn things around, and chasing 2 goals from a strong club like Leverkusen is not an easy thing for them to do. I think they will also lose again in this match in the second leg and I see only a small chance that they have now.

Meanwhile in Serie A, they have the same points as Atalanta, but Atalanta has 1 match more than them. If Atalanta can secure all the matches they have then they will be determined to finish in 5th position in the standings. As Roma still depends on the results of other clubs' matches to enable them to finish in a position that will take them to the Champions League. I think they really need luck so they can be in the Champions League next season. Because the scenario they currently have is very difficult to realize.

Of course most gamblers have been in the same shoe and worse part is you expect to regain your loses without extra but if you are lucky to get there, you start looking for same extra that you don't intend to. This is usually the story of gamblers, as to the reason that they lost even deeper. Emotion is the cause of loses, a gambler who is good with controlling his emotion is probably going to get his bets. Playing many times or fewer times won't really matter anything without proper guide to our emotions.
Returning to gambling after experiencing defeat is of course not very good because the results we get will also be the same because it is very unlikely that we will be able to win after losing the previous bet. Controlling emotions when gambling is very important because when someone cannot control their emotions when gambling, of course they will gamble with greed and this will be very detrimental to themselves, betting too often will also have a bad impact on ourselves and it would be better for us to limit the gambling activities we do so that things don't happen that we don't want. the impact of gambling.

In fact, one of the reasons why it is not recommended to continue gambling after losing is because usually when you are still in a losing situation, you are still dominated by emotions due to the defeat which in the end usually these emotions will encourage you to make some decisions that usually make no sense or impulsive decisions because most likely you do it based on emotions and not a rational mindset. And this is why in some cases gamblers even experience a greater amount of loss which is because they make decisions that they cannot be responsible for such as for example back betting with a much larger budget and when it turns out that the results do not match then obviously it is a situation that will further worsen their mental and psychological which sometimes makes them experience stress because they cannot withstand all the pressure. This is the reason why it is always recommended to know when to start and when to stop, because by having this ability, it is less likely for you to experience a more significant amount of loss and can also avoid bad possibilities such as addiction.
524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: May 09, 2024, 02:31:30 PM

That's right, it means that there are two wastes here, namely losing money and time for nothing, actually all of that happens because they have such high hopes for victory that they give up most of their time and money to start the game hopefully, even though it is very clear that having high hopes for something that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever will only increase the possibility of disappointment at the end of the session when everything ends up with results that are not what they expected.

This is why it is very important for a gambler to have a healthy mindset and a rational point of view, not least because that ability will be useful to make them make the right decisions that do not lead to an impulsive or excessive approach when it comes to treating gambling activities.

Having uncertain hopes for the results is clearly a mistake and in gambling there are many gamblers who are too obsessed with winning even though it is clear that there will also be defeats which will often occur and they will experience them but for some reason the hopes and perceptions are not yet real. That's exactly what they continue to do instead of stopping immediately.
Yes, I totally agree with you, as gamblers we have to have a good and correct mindset and perspective because the goal is so that we don't see that gambling is an activity that will make a lot of money, on the contrary, that is, lose a lot of money, so we have to always be careful there.

Exactly, as you said above and I will repeat it that the biggest mistake of a gambler is when they put excessive hopes on winning or those who are too obsessed with winning that they don't even hesitate to risk large sums of money, when in reality however gambling is a gambling activity that bets your money on two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, So of course the idea of focusing too much on winning in the end as I said that it will only increase the possibility of disappointment at the end of the session when it turns out that what happens instead is defeat, but it is natural because after all defeat is a part that can never be separated in gambling.

This is why it is always advisable to bring a rational mindset and point of view when you want to engage in gambling activities, the benefits are clear so that you see gambling in a balanced way and not only see in terms of winning opportunities but also see in terms of possible risks and this is also the reason why a gambler is always advised to only bet small amounts, none other than so that you can accept the risk of losing and also so that you don't get too emotional when it turns out that the results at the end of the session are not as expected.
525  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 09, 2024, 02:10:49 PM

You are right, we are not sure how the set up will be done by OP? Is it daily gambling or once a month? because if 1% of the monthly salary is used daily for 30 days, the OP will end up spending a lot more because when you save that, it's like 30% of the monthly salary will be the total expense, maybe we'll just depend on the gambling set up how much or what percentage is possible for us to suggest to him.

If we just look on this case from mathematics point of view. Lets suppose OP earns $1000 per month. So he should spend only $10 per month (or per session, per day, we dont know it). I really doubt that it is possible to turn $10 into something significant from gambling. We even have a topic here that suggest to cash out our quit after doubling deposit. So we have a guy who earn $1000, that suppose to win $20 or +/- that amount and end with gambling till next salary? First of all, it is quite easy to lose those $10. Secondly, even if he earn $20 or be lucky to earn $30, with $1000 monthly salary, that is still nothing.

Yes I agree with your assumption about how much to bet on gambling, as you said if the person has an income of $1000 per month then the best money is to bet $10 of the salary on gambling but try to use the amount within a month before you get a salary again, or that means $10 for one month, because if $10 is only for one session then I think in the end it is clear that in a month they will definitely gamble more than once which means they have to spend more than $10, so the point is to set the amount for gambling expenses within a month before you get a salary again next month.

The point is that whoever you are and whatever your monthly income is, it is always recommended to allocate a small amount of money for gambling, none other than because the small amount will not make us feel objected when it turns out that at the end of the session we lose, meaning that betting a small amount will make it easier for you to be able to accept the fact of losing because as you said above that the amount is nothing or not too meaningful.

I want to see the exact action that Manchester United will take with their current coach, whether Manchester United will fire him or keep him. There are several reasons that I think could enable Manchester United to fire Erik Ten Hag. Firstly, he couldn't create a team with consistent play. Second, Erik Ten Hag couldn't create chemistry between the players. Thirdly, he pushed too hard on his own ego, and there's more that I didn't say.

Yes, it's true, there is no guarantee that by firing Erik Ten Hag they will be better, but they can try because this season Erik Ten Hag has not shown good progress in my opinion. And actually it's not just a matter of being coached, but management also has to be able to evaluate. Because I see that the current management of Manchester United doesn't seem to be serious about managing the club so that it can get better. Honestly, I miss the golden era of Manchester United which could provide competition in the English Premier League, not Manchester United now which is the butt of jokes.

I really don't like PSG but I agree with this statement of his because even though PSG has not performed well in European competitions recently, I think it is not the fault of the coach. He tried his best to make a good enough plan to make sure that PSG actually goes to the final of the Champions League and wins. But sometimes even the best of plans don't work well. And there is a trend going on in football right now of changing coaches if any bad results happen.

So I think the PSG chairman actually said it right. And this is also going to give the coach a lot of confidence going forward. He will be able to work with the club without having to think about the termination of his contract at any random moment.

I agree with Enrique that luck was on Dortmund's side last night, but they need to move on and I'm glad Enrique will have another season at PSG. The next step should be to strengthen PSG's attack, especially when Mbappe leaves the team, the already weak attack will need new strikers.
PSG do not give many chances to coaches, and I think that the management did not have high hopes for this season in the Champions League, for obvious reasons. But the next season will be decisive for Enrique, since the demands on him will be higher.
There is nothing to regret about their failure in the Champions League this season because they were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals, because in terms of appearance they performed well and I agree that they were unlucky in this match. It's not that they didn't create chances, because they created a lot of chances and they hit the crossbar several times. If Borussia Dortmund is not saved by the crossbar and goal posts, then I think Paris Siant Germain can score at least 3 goals. But that's football, how many chances can be created if luck is not on their side, then it won't be a goal.

The coaches and players have tried their best, so this is not their fault. We also saw Borussia Dortmund appear defensive after they scored a goal and that made things difficult for Paris Saint Germain. Disappointment is a very definite thing, but they should not dwell on feelings of disappointment, because there is no point in doing that.

I think this is a problem that is experienced by most gamblers where they come with very high expectations and think that they will be able to earn a lot of money just by gambling, and my advice is to try to tell your friend to go back to research and identify what gambling is really about, explain in detail and provide some evidence to him about the downturn experienced by gamblers who try to use gambling as a place to earn.

Explain to him that however and at any time gambling is still gambling where betting activities always refer to two possibilities at the end of the session between winning or losing, victory is a bonus but defeat is a risk that must be faced and this is why a gambler is always advised to always be able to take responsibility for any decision because however defeat will always be a sure thing, so of course it means not to make gambling a place to earn because however the idea will never work and in fact in the end it will even make you experience a lot of downturns, especially in financial terms.

If someone just killing time by playing gambling, they will lose everything. Not just losing their money but they also losing their time which actually they can use that for other things that can gives them the opportunity to have a better lives. They must knows that playing gambling doesn't makes them have a chance to double their money, not a big chance so they must not trying to do that and only use gambling for have fun. If they already gets fun, they must stops playing gambling immediately before something bad comes to them. Playing gambling is not for makes money but only to fills our spare time while we have time but we don't have to playing gambling too often to avoids a big lose. If we can understand about that, we will not trying to double our money from gambling instead just have fun.

A big mistake a person has made is if he spends his time gambling continuously, yes and I agree with your opinion, apart from wasting useless time, he also wastes money quickly and therefore he will often get into trouble. in his life compared to the pleasures in his life.
And I agree with you that gambling just for fun is much better by playing according to the right rules and limits in gambling.

That's right, it means that there are two wastes here, namely losing money and time for nothing, actually all of that happens because they have such high hopes for victory that they give up most of their time and money to start the game hopefully, even though it is very clear that having high hopes for something that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever will only increase the possibility of disappointment at the end of the session when everything ends up with results that are not what they expected.

530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which device do you prefer for gambling ? on: May 08, 2024, 01:50:52 PM

True, casinos have to maintain and improve about the maintenance of their online application or website because as you said that this is their biggest revenue, it cannot be denied that nowadays most of the people prefer to engage in this type of online gambling because it is very easy where you are free to gamble anywhere and anytime as long as you have money to bet, This means that the better the service of the casino's mobile application or website, the more likely it is that more gamblers will stay there or they may even call some of their friends to come and gamble at the casino regardless of winning or losing, which means that the more gamblers who come or who stay on the site, the greater the casino's income will be.

For casinos the world of the internet is a great advantage and I'm sure they will maximize the performance of all their employees to make gamblers feel more at home on the site, but it is a fact that for most gamblers sometimes this convenience can lead to a lot of problems, such as losing control or going overboard in putting the budget amount or time to gamble which happens because they feel free to continue to be at the online casino.
Therefore, casinos should not skimp on developing an application for smartphones, but if there is a poor connection, then this no longer depends on the quality of the application, but depends only on the player. Of course, if he is on the street or on public transport, he may not get an excellent connection and after that he may not even enter this casino, but these are trifles.

Indeed, the margin in online casinos is greater than offline and therefore there will always be improvements as long as there are those who can provide, namely the players. In short, a PC or laptop is the best thing you can play only with a stable connection.

I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but I'm sure it's not, and I'm not sure if it's the case, but I'm not sure if it's the case, and I'm not sure if it's the case, but I'm not sure if it's the case, and I'm not sure if it's the case, and I'm not sure if it's the case, but I'm not sure if it's the case, and I'm not sure if it's the case, and I'm not sure if it's the case.

This means that I understand that one of the advantages of online casinos is that it makes it easier for all gamblers to gamble wherever and whenever they want but try to look for situations and conditions that allow it, if for example you are in an area that is difficult to get a stable internet network then obviously don't gamble at that time, it's better to find another place that has wider and better internet coverage. On the other hand, I admit that online casinos have a much greater advantage than physical casinos because now everyone spends more time playing the internet which means online casinos can reach more people to gamble and other things whatever type of tool you use to gamble whether it's a PC, laptop or smartphone all of that can function properly if you have a stable internet connection.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: May 08, 2024, 10:46:57 AM
A child will not know that gambling is a prohibited activity because it is dangerous, and the point is that if they see that the activity is done by adults then they will assume that it is okay to do or follow. Therefore, it is clear that showing something negative in front of children is an action that must be avoided, or the point is to try to keep negative activities out of their sight because obviously parents are the image of a child, this is about the safety of a child's future.

Yes, of course, in a child's view, whatever their parents do is always good and good to imitate, so that's why a child can learn and follow what their parents play quickly without having to find out whether it's something good or not, I think that's true. It is important to stay away from anything that is not good so that you don't do it at home unless you really want to do it. Playing gambling when the children are asleep at night is better, but it all comes back to the habits of the parents.

Sometimes parents have a habit of not keeping track of the time so they just gamble at home in front of their children because they think too much that their children won't follow them, even though children can easily learn whatever their parents do, parents' gambling habits like that are usually already in place. categorized as an addict because if you are not an addict you can certainly arrange your gambling time at the right time, at least gambling at night when the children are asleep, I still do this often, in fact I consistently do it without my children knowing that I am gambling, after all You don't have to force yourself to gamble in front of your children because it's not that important either.

Yes although on the other hand I'm sure that parents would never teach something negative to their children but actually a child can learn anything without having to be taught or directed by their parents which means that even if for example you don't teach your child about something negative but if for example they see you doing that activity then it is possible for them to imitate what you are doing which in addition parents are the image that a child often follows in any case.

This means that this is the reason why it is much better to do everything out of the reach of a child, or in other words if you want to gamble or do anything negative then try to be away from where your children are, as you said above that we can gamble when they are asleep or gamble when a child is going to school and I think this is not a hard idea to do, so I think there is no reason for any defense in this matter, and the point is that if you still gamble in front of children then you do not care about their future safety.
532  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 08, 2024, 10:18:27 AM
I understand that a lot of people want to be able to gamble, and trying to calculate how much you can spend. However, I would say that it is a wrong move to gamble with your salary, not even a bit of it, do not gamble with your salary at all. What you should do is go ahead and save some money from your salary, and invest that money into bitcoin.

This means that you would not be gambling with your salary at all, we haven't even started gambling yet, you are just saving some money and investing accordingly. After that, if you make a lot of profit from investing, like lets say 50% or so, then you can take a small part of that profit alone and could go ahead and gamble with it. Could make things a lot more easier for you on the long run.
Well, that's the right way but I think the question will still remain if the OP badly wants to gamble his money. Sure, saving, investments, and whatever safe financial plan is better but we are in a gambling discussion.
I think OP is just trying to figure out what is the best number there is especially if other gamblers are already doing it. I do. 5 percent of my monthly salary goes to gambling and I don't mind if that will lose. I mean, I am ready if the money will go south while I am playing but if I do win like x10 of that amount then I will probably cash it out.
I want to stick with that plan and then leave the 5 percent again so that I can keep on playing.

True, if we look at other things that are better then yes of course it is better to save, invest or not allocate your money anywhere and just keep it then it is much better and safer, but as you said above and I agree that we are talking about what is the best allocation that is safe to bet. If we're talking about amounts then yes small amounts tend to be good amounts to bet, I understand that maybe your winnings won't be too big if at the end of the session you win but the main concern here is the "ability to accept the fact of losing", because obviously in some cases losing is always a difficult thing for most gamblers to accept.

So this is the reason why a gambler is more advised to bet a small amount of part of his salary, it can be like what you suggested which is to put about 5% of the total salary and do not exceed this amount, which is the point is that it is recommended to put an amount that we can accept if we lose in the end, because most of the gamblers who end up with addiction are those who initially put large amounts in the hope of getting a big win but they don't think about the risks that can never be separated in gambling which is defeat which in the end they act to catch up with previous losses and unknowingly fall into addiction.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: May 07, 2024, 01:30:13 PM
~snip~
That's why people must realizes they can only used gambling as the ways to fills their spares time. They can double their money but that will be difficult because they can face many losses before they can makes some money. That's why they must be wise treating gambling as a fun activity and it's better just to used gambling to have fun. They can search for the other ways to make money than using gambling because the risks of losing money can becomes bigger. Double the money can be a dream for many people but they must realizes that they don't always gets the chances instead will lose some money. Before they lose a lot of money, it's better they prevents that using limitation and only used the money they can afford to lose  That can avoids the big lose from gambling but they can still enjoy playing gambling.

Funnily enough the most precious thing we have is time, so if someone is just "killing time" while gambling and losing money, I think that's pretty much a double whammy...

They are losing money and time.

Instead that money could be invested and the time used to learn something new.

On the other hand, if someone just uses a bit of time for entertainment, that's fine probably.

Right, and I think most gamblers don't really care about the time they spend even though like you said time is precious and the other thing is like you said losing is a double whammy where one loses time and money, even though this is a wasteful act that should be avoided but yes that's gambling where most people want to get something instantly and don't really care what they have lost there.

All that happens because yes they are losers who always want to get something instantly, or the point is that they want to win but don't want to put in the effort like working which requires you to spend a lot of sweat and effort and usually this approach is possessed by gamblers who are already addicted. This is also the reason why we are always advised to gamble moderately without any excessive elements in it such as only making gambling as an entertainment activity to fill leisure time because by having this approach, it is less likely for you to experience a significant loss of money.

There is this one casino that works smoothly in my mobile, whether I use their app or my web browser but one time I tried accessing them on my laptop and to my surprised, the text or UI is so huge that they hardly fit on my screen. It was like they are zoomed out.

I guess this is what you are talking about that some websites are only designed for some devices. I don't know what's their reason for this and maybe they already accepted the fact that they can lose a lot of costumers because some people are preferring one device only, no matter what. In my case, I'm a mobile user even before and so far, all casinos that I have tested works well on it.
Casinos should take care of mobile applications because this is their main source of income. It’s convenient to play on a smartphone when you’re on the subway, and maybe even many people try to play at their workplace when clients don’t approach them, although I think it’s terrible. I can afford to play on my mobile phone only after I have done my work and go home by public transport. Only in this situation, the rest of the time I just like to play with the PS and not have anything distract me, because I like to play with full concentration. After all, if I make the wrong steps because of this, then I won’t be able to forgive myself for this in case of big losses.

True, casinos have to maintain and improve about the maintenance of their online application or website because as you said that this is their biggest revenue, it cannot be denied that nowadays most of the people prefer to engage in this type of online gambling because it is very easy where you are free to gamble anywhere and anytime as long as you have money to bet, This means that the better the service of the casino's mobile application or website, the more likely it is that more gamblers will stay there or they may even call some of their friends to come and gamble at the casino regardless of winning or losing, which means that the more gamblers who come or who stay on the site, the greater the casino's income will be.

It's better that way, make them innocent of bad habits as long as possible until they can really understand what is happening and they will make their own decisions on what they should do.

Right. Children are not to blame for copying the behavior of their parents. It's also not their fault that they constantly want to learn something new. Even if it's something bad like gambling. Even teenagers who seem like grown-up children still copy their parents. What they see is immediately remembered and stored in memory. In fact, by our actions we are writing their life story. Therefore, it is very important not to show aggression in front of children when playing gambling. It's hard, because gambling is about emotions and money. But children are much more important than all this.

We must understand that children are like sponges, they can absorb everything they see or hear without us knowing and usually we are quite surprised when we see them who can already do something without knowing when they learned it and like you said that a child cannot be blamed because they still cannot distinguish between good and bad, the point is that if they are interested in something they see or hear then usually they will learn it themselves.

A child will not know that gambling is a prohibited activity because it is dangerous, and the point is that if they see that the activity is done by adults then they will assume that it is okay to do or follow. Therefore, it is clear that showing something negative in front of children is an action that must be avoided, or the point is to try to keep negative activities out of their sight because obviously parents are the image of a child, this is about the safety of a child's future.

Yes, you are absolutely right, playing gambling in moderation will have a good impact on us as gamblers, namely that we don't experience a lot of losses and we don't feel burdened by what we have done because it could be that we play gambling just for fun and you know. when is it time to stop.
Yes, I really agree with you because it could be that if we gamble in moderation, a wise attitude and sense of responsibility will emerge so that we can carry out gambling activities according to what we are able and want without any compulsion at all, but we play as we please and know. about the right limits in playing gambling correctly.
Playing gambling moderately is the best thing that we can do to enjoy the gambling and to avoids the big lose. We don't have to achieve something from gambling because we can gets many losses from gambling and many people can't accept the lose easily. That will be their mistakes because they already knows that achieving something from gambling is difficult and they will not have a chance to gets that instead just losing their money. Other people may have a goals to wins much money from gambling but they must knows that to achieve that goals, they can use much money but they don't have much chance to gets it. That can triggers them to keeps playing gambling and slowly but sure, they will becomes addicted to gambling. If they already becomes addicted to gambling, it will difficult to cure and they will not see that they already gets addicted to gambling.

Yes treating gambling in moderation is the best approach that can make us avoid various bad possibilities in the long run, because overall usually the bad impact is more potential to occur when someone treats gambling excessively whether in terms of time or budget at stake. What always triggers many problems that will lead a gambler to a downturn is as you said above "the inability to accept the fact of defeat" which is where most gamblers are typical people who only think about winning but are unable to accept the state of defeat.

The truth is that all gamblers will not refuse if they manage to get a win because after all winning is a very exhilarating situation, but what we must understand here is that gambling is not just about winning but there is another aspect that is always part of gambling activities, namely "the possibility of losing", we must remember this and this is the reason why a gambler should not overdo it, because by overdoing it you are likely to lose a lot of money slowly. And the other thing is that yes as you said that when someone has fallen into addiction then it is very difficult to cure it.

If you can do it, don't use any of that to gamble, most cases that you can do this is if you've got a side hustle where you can easily supplement your gambling habits since you've got an extra income. If you're not that person that I'm talking about, you probably shouldn't portion your salary to satisfy your gambling needs, most of the time, you're going to end up with nothing and that money that you will allocate will definitely be not enough for the gambling session. If you're the kind of person that's got a salary that's on the 5 or 6 digit territory already, you're probably good with a 10% of that being used for gambling if you really can't help it.
Limiting funds for gambling is certainly very good because if we use too much funds for gambling, of course this will make us have financial problems and this will put us in financial problems, so it is important for everyone who gambles to be able to limit the funds that will be used. used for gambling so as not to experience things we don't want, because in gambling no one can win bets continuously.

Yes, of course, having a limit on the amount of budget is indeed a plan that must be owned by all gamblers, none other than the benefit is that we avoid financial problems because of course when you do not apply any restrictions on the amount of budget allocated to gambling then yes of course over time you will certainly experience problems with the financial balance of your life and I think there is a lot of evidence that we can see from the downturn experienced by some gamblers who are too excessive in treating their gambling activities.

Actually not only limiting the amount of the budget, but also by limiting the time of involvement, such as knowing when to stop and gamble in moderation, because this is what must be considered, logically when you do not have limits on gambling time then obviously the limits you have applied to the amount of the budget will not be useful because of course if the session continues then you will definitely have to allocate some money again, so limiting the amount of the budget and limiting the time of involvement cannot be separated and must be applied simultaneously.

No, Ronaldo already stated that he wants to extend his contract with Al Nassr until 2027 because he still wants to play in the 2026 World Cup.
And to achieve that, he needs to play regularly, the Portugal manager also has stated that Ronaldo will definitely be brought to the 2026 World Cup, either as a player or as his assistant.

Even though Ronaldo and Messi will still play in the World Cup, they wont play for the full 90 minutes, their physicality and speed can no longer match other young players.

Yeah, to be honest I think it's all about money really at this point.

The club wants these types of players to bring the crowds and therefore the money.

The same with the world cup, these are the faces we get to see in every ad about the world cup.

And for them as well, they make a huge amount of money, so why retire.
You are right, players who have big names like them have their own charm to attract a lot of attention, all eyes will be on them, therefore it will bring profits to those who have them. For example, the Saudi Pro League, did we pay attention to that league before Cristiano Ronaldo arrived? I think we are not that interested in watching every match there, but when Ronaldo joined one of the clubs there (Al Nassr) we all started to pay more attention to the Saudi Pro League. Even at the beginning we knew that many stations wanted to broadcast Saudi Pros League matches and that was a large number.

The World Cup is the same, apart from the fact that the World Cup is something we are waiting for, we will also wait for famous players to appear there and how they will perform during the World Cup. Football cannot be separated from business, because these two things are interconnected and it is not surprising that many rich people invest in big clubs.

The fans must be really disappointed with this poor level performance. This was their fourth draw in a row by the way. If the teams below them were a little better on the recent weeks Juventus could have even found themselves out of top four. I can't say Juventus really deserve the Champions League with this kind of a performance.  Sad
Of course, all Juventus supporters are very, very disappointed with this draw, because they hope that Juventus can win this match. In several matches that Juventus played, they never showed very good results and their performance dropped drastically in their matches. If Juventus' performance continues like this and cannot provide a good performance in the remaining matches, I am sure that Juventus will be eliminated from the top 3 of the standings, and Bologna will definitely move up to 3rd position. Because I think Bologna's performance is very good, much better than Juventus at the moment. Therefore, Juventus must improve its performance again so that it can win the remaining matches this season in order to remain in 3rd place in the standings.
When the club they like or support gets unsatisfactory results, they (the fans) will definitely be disappointed with the results achieved, that is certain. However, we also have to see who the opponents they face are, and Juventus' opponent is AS Roma, which is not easy to beat. In fact, I see this draw as a pretty good result for them, because it is not easy to win against As Roma, which has shown improvement since being handled by De Rossi.

It is very unfortunate when Juventus continues to achieve unsatisfactory results like this, even though at the start of the season they were quite promising with their performance being quite good. However, again towards the end of the season they actually declined which made them have to work harder to maintain their position. If they are consistent enough, then they will be able to compete with Inter Milan and maybe Inter Milan won't lock up the title so quickly, but they can't do that.

Atalanta will be playing at home and that is a good advantage on their side over their visitors. In the first leg, Atalanta was able to score first away from home before their host Marseille equalized the goal. This shows that Atalanta can score this time again and will be able to defend their goals till the end of 90 minutes.

Atalanta is currently in a good form as they have reached far in two competitions showing their quality and seriousness of winning a trophy this season. Marseille can also survive through to the finals if they can come up with surprises on that day, because this season is a surprising season so far.
Atalanta's chances are much more open than Marseille's, so it's very likely that they will be in the final in my opinion. In the first leg, a draw gave them an advantage, because they were able to hold Marseille to a draw when playing at home, now it is their turn to play at home. I think a draw in the first leg was their target and they succeeded in getting it.

But of course Atalanta must play well, lest they lose focus which will make them lose later. Focus or concentration is something that must be strictly maintained when in the field, because if they don't have good concentration, then they are at risk of making fatal mistakes. We have seen many players crumble because they made fatal mistakes in the decisive round. What still sticks in my memory is the career of Liverpool goalkeeper Karius. Yes, he made a fatal mistake when playing in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
