Portugal also won against the Czech Republic with a goal in the last minutes and started the group with 3 points. The competition in this group seems to be quite high. Of course I would like Turkey to come 1st in this group but we are not expecting easy matches. Portugal seems to be the most difficult and strongest opponent here and if we beat them we will probably have a better chance to be the leader of the group.  I don't know if the situation will change, but I think Turkey needs to achieve success with this young and strong squad.
Portugal looks stronger in the group if you look at the way they played and the players in their team. I was expecting Portugal to have won the match since before the extra time, but at last the young lad made it possible on the 90+2mins extra time. The second half was very fierce as both clubs were on fire in which three goals was scored. Portugal was able to win the match from one goal down.

Czech tried their best, and I never expected their performance to be of a high stand that they almost draw the match. Turkey played to beautiful game yesterday by withstanding pressure from Georgia from the last quarter of the match till the last minute in which they took advantage of Georgia eagerness to equalize the second goal and left the back of their defense open, and scored their third goal.

Next season, the Gunners will try again and this is definitely big moves for them. Mikel Arteta have risen to be the best manager to manage Gunners after Arsene Wenger pass and we know it's really a tremendous move for the board. Gunners will be pushing in for accomplishment because they're an elite team that lived on their past glory. A lengthy period of time after seeing Gunners winning the UEFA titles and this is probably poor stats for them. Arsenal can be in good form but when it comes to EPL matches, I see them to be vulnerable because there's probably more challenges to face.
From what Arsenal has shown last season and also the positive progress since Arsenal was handled by Mikel Arteta, which has improved every season, it really makes us quite optimistic about next season, which will be much stronger than Arsenal and I am sure that this progress will continue and Mikel Arteta continues to be believed that by being given full support to build the team, it is not impossible that in the next few seasons Arsenal will be able to achieve the achievements or win the title they want.
Arsenal's two seasons of failure indicate that they still want to continue competing at the top of the Premier League, as long as Mikel Arteta is still trusted by Management, of course Arsenal and Arteta want changes next season because it is very likely that Arsenal already knows what Arsenal needs next season, right?  Only the title, however, is Arteta's main target to take Arsenal to the Champions League Final, which Arsenal have never experienced before.
Let Arteta win EPL first before we start talking about UCL finals. I know that Arsenal fans likes big dreams when they are being faced with reality. Arteta need to try his possible best to make sure that he wins EPL next season, if he doesn't I will say that he did not improve the club performance. The reason why I said so is that this last season, he was able to finish the league with one point behind Arsenal.

So I expect him to win the trophy next season, and if City wins it again, it means that no club will be able to challenge with City in winning the title except Pep leaves the club. Arsenal can do it since they have vibrant young and skilled players, it is just luck that has not being on their side, because luck is part of successful.
63  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin reserved funds are not meant for fun spending on: June 19, 2024, 08:29:42 AM
In the process of our Bitcoin accumulation, it is beneficially necessary we keep aside reserve funds. Reserved funds are money kept aside for future purposes and these incidents are likely anticipated, it is slightly distincts from emergency funds.

Most investors now successfully keep aside their reserve funds but in a way are spending from it for the wrong reasons. These funds are the primary backbone of an investor and should be carefully spent, if wastefully spent then comes the need for financial involvement whereas if there is nothing left in the reserve funds balance then the investor will be left with no option than to terminate part of his portfolio which is a wrong practice for a good investor.

Our reasons as to spending from reserved funds shouldn't be for fun or enjoyment purposes so when a more pressing financial need strikes we should be able to afford it and not cater on how to raise such an amount of money.
Everything depend on the individual and as far as I am concerned, majority of us do not belong to the category that will have enough funds to finance bitcoin accumulation such as through the DCA, set aside money for basic needs, emergency funds and still keep reserve funds. If we are propounding theories, we must consider the viability of such theories else we will make buying and holding bitcoin so complicated that starters might consider not getting started at all. If you have money to buy bitcoin and still have some to use and eat and take care of your needs with small change to support you when things not plan happens, you are good to start investing.As a Nigerian even if you have money to buy bitcoin and meet your basic needs and have people that you can call to rogger you small thing later you balance them up, you still dey ok to build your portfolio. You don't have to keep emergency plus reserved funds before you go run the matter.
I disagree with you bro on the bolded statement above. How will you depend on people to live and you are investing in bitcoin. Human beings will disappoint you at the very time that you need their help, and moreover nobody is planning you in their budget. I guess that you don't have a family and that is why you are saying that. If you have people that are your responsibility to take care of, you will understand that financial management is very important in life.

Please don't mislead newbies here in the forum because I know that the OGs already have bitcoin investment and they know the best way that they are using to cope without selling their bitcoin when it is not of their will. If you don't have the money to buy bitcoin and having emergency funds as back up in order to safeguard you from selling your bitcoin at loss when an emergency arises, there are newbies who are rich and will love to invest in bitcoin in long term and they need proper guidance on how to go about their bitcoin investment so that they don't face challenges that will make them not achieve their goal.

For a new beginner to invest in bitcoin, you shoukd have it in mind that you should make provisions for an emergency funds that you will use to solve emergencies when they arise so that you will not sell your bitcoin investment. This means that don't use an amount that you will not be able to forget about to buy bitcoin, only use that amount that you will not need in a long period of time to buy bitcoin from your savings regularly every month and gradually you are building your bitcoin portfolio.

With the quality and depth of its squad, Portugal is one of the favorites to win Euro 2024 and is facing the Czech Republic in its first match tonight. The first half ended 0-0, but Portugal completely dominated the match. They created numerous chances and maintained constant pressure on the attack. However, credit must be given to the Czech team; they have put up a strong fight and look solid defensively.
It is a pity that with all the pressure from Portugal on Czech players, Portugal was unable to use most of their opportunities wisely by scoring at least one goal. I think old age is really telling on Ronaldo because he is missing some good opportunities that he should have converted to a goal.

The only opportunity that Czech had, they were able to utilize it after netted the post with a powerful strike to the top right side of the post. The goal was scored by Brovod on the 62nd minutes. Due to excessive pressure from the Portuguese, their attackers were able to pressure and run through their opponents defense  which led to an own goal by Hranáč on the 69th minutes to balance the scoreline as 1-1.

Portugal continues pressuring Czech as usual, maybe they will be able to win the match or it will be the other way round.

Yes as long as Bitcoin investment is concern we don't only need to hold and wait but we should just keep on accumulating more and more Bitcoin until we are satisfied with the quantity of Bitcoin we have accumulated not in less than 3 years below but 4,5 years and above, we can buy more Bitcoin using both DCA method and the lump sum strategy which will help us accumulate more Bitcoin in a long run.

Am not sure of qwhat you meant by being satisfied, nor do I think other investors who consider the future would use such word. I am very sure that no one is ever satisfied with making more money (even the world's richest people), so why should we be satisfied with making investments?. The continuous use of the DCA strategy for at least four years, before doing whatever you want to do with it doesn't mean someone is satisfied. There might just be a very important project that has been sidelined, with the intention of making use of the investment after at least four years.

In another sense, if your portfolio happens to be very high, but you keep getting extra personal funds, then you should continue to invest. Or do you prefer to waste your extra funds just because you feel your accumulation portfolio is satisfactory enough?.
Yea, the word "satisfy" depends on the individual bitcoin target that he feels is enough for him to acquire based on his own discretionary income in which he is using to buy bitcoin. However, I feel that anyone using DCA strategy to by bitcoin for as low as $10 might not get to the extend that he will say that he has enough Bitcoin until maybe 30yrs-40yrs time.

So considering the word satisfy, it depends on how old that you are and for how long will you continue building your bitcoin portfolio with the amount that you are using to DCA regularly based on your discretionary income. A rich guy who is ready to invest in bitcoin using DCA regularly without missing will have a high chance of reaching his bitcoin target because he has all the resources he needs around him to make it happen fast compare to someone that is an average earner.

Atletico madrid is still on their capacity to "exist", not on "win" the champion league. Diego simeone, as atletico madrid's coach never had a great expectation for his club in UCL; therefore, even though they were not favorite to do this, atletico madrid still has little opportunity to win UCL.

Although the officials of Atletico madrid were always improving their teams, their efforts were pointless since the gamplay and strategy of the simeone remain the same. When atletico madrid advanced to any level in the champion league, such quarter or semi finals, ATM officials feel good enough.

With the present team, Atletico Madrid lacks capacity to win the UCL. Atletico madrid made it to final at 15/16, really lucky. So in essence, all things considered, it makes little difference how much atletico madrid improves; uninspiring strategy and gameplay by Simeone will prevent them from winning UCL.

What you say is true, I also pay attention to Atletico Madrid every time they enter the UCL and being able to reach the quarter finals is nothing surprising anymore. Their performance remains like that, the same and no different from the previous season. It's as if Simeone hasn't developed this club well, the strategy is monotonous, while in terms of player capacity more or less changing with new ones, the level of effectiveness is still not increasing sharply. Atletico Madrid seems to be stagnant or really needs a new coach who has different ambitions and ideas from Simeone. Honestly if Atletico Madrid wants to appear to be developing, maybe it's time to think about a new, more modern manager with a variety of strategies.

Domestic clubs especially rivals Madrid, continue to develop, Barcelona is also trying to cover all its shortcomings, even with limited players and limited funds, but there are always different things every season and with the arrival of Girona they also starting to be considered worthy competitors next season. Therefore if Atletico Madrid does not upgrade its players and coaches next season this club could be left behind by its rivals.

yes but you are only talking about Spanish teams, remember that Europe is big and that the big teams are not always the best or win the most, there are many teams that are growing in Europe, think that Leverkusen or Atalanta are not they can reach the champion's quarterfinals, well the answer for me is definitely yes considering that even teams like Bologna can do really badly I would be very careful about Italy this year too, we'll see some good ones that's for sure
It's definitely true, atalanta and leverkusen can reach quarter final; However, the competition is getting tougher with the implementation of the new format of UCL. In fact, competing in UCL is far tougher compared to the europa league, and these clubs(atalanta/leverkusen) will have tougher opponents. Ultimately, to reach the quarter final, they shall have worked even harder.
UCL is a different competition from Europa and one must not just conclude that because Atalanta and Leverkusen made history last season means that they will go as far as reaching the quarter finals. It depends on the group that they will be in if the clubs are weak in their groups.if it happens that they are in a strong group, they might survive or not. Also if they did not meet one of the strongest teams in the round of 16, they will reach the quarter finals.

Real Madrid still have the high chance of becoming the winner of UCL next season because they have made proper preparations on defending the title next season by equipping the club with Mbappe and Endrick. Any club that can win the champions league from them next season will need to do extraordinary things.

A lengthy period of time after seeing Gunners winning the UEFA titles and this is probably poor stats for them. Arsenal can be in good form but when it comes to EPL matches, I see them to be vulnerable because there's probably more challenges to face.
Successive failures in the last two seasons have left Arsenal deeply disappointed, they almost won it, but due to mistakes made towards the end of the season, the EPL trophy belonged to Manchester City. Arteta has succeeded in making Arsenal a team capable of competing in the title race, but as a result of not being able to consistently maintain their performance, they had to settle for finishing as runners up.

Even though they are now an elite team in the EPL, Arsenal is still not able to become an outstanding team. I don't really hope that Arsenal can win the UEFA title because it is not easy to win because there are so many elite teams participating there. Arsenal must form a mentality in their players to win the EPL trophy as capital to continue their success at European level.
Arsenal should not think of UEFA trophy because it will be a mission impossible for them. It was their second leg match against Bayern Munich that caused them to lose their EPL match that same week Sunday, because Arteta took the match personal, instead of him letting go the match and focus more on his upcoming EPL match. Still he lost the match.

If he can make the right decisions at the right time next season, I think that he will win the title because he is always one step ahead of Pep. I know that Manchester City is the strongest club and they are in their reigning days, but I will not consider them winners next season and not use this season performance to conclude that only Arsenal will be their rival next season.

The casinos are the ones that are benefitting more because both the rich and poor from different countries gather money together for them, and they only give few person little part of that money, I wouldn't call that wealth distribution because the poor are not rich. Of course casinos must pay their workers because it is business and only you cannot run such a business without worker. Moreover, the worker gets peanut compared to what the casino benefits.

Among those that was able to win big only few of them was able to keep this wealth by investing it, while a lot of them lost it back to the casino because of greed or addiction. The house hedge always wins, meaning the casino keeps the wealth of rich gamblers. This is why one should only gamble for fun with the amount of money that he can afford to lose in order for him not to give majority of his income to the casino due to addiction.

Any gambling or bookmaking site contains a warning that, when betting, players should not rely on the idea that the game will solve all their financial problems. However, seeing people who understand this warning differently, you can’t help but wonder whether people know how to read and generally think logically. Everyone who has been a winner in the past has consistently experienced financial losses. And as history shows, there are much more losses. Therefore, thoughts about making money may arise in people who are not entirely adequate and cannot correctly perceive reality.

don't you think these would end up like these warns on cigarrete packs? I mean, yes you can tell people that the thing will kill you and give you cancer but sometimes your urges are stronger than you and you simply can't resist anyways...
crazy but true
Addiction is just the cause of them not putting those things into consideration anymore. Lack of self control or greed can make someone feel that the write ups are just for written sake without considering the consequences. I don't know why someone will believe that he can use gambling to take care of his needs and that of his family, sounds unreal to me.

Those that have tried to depend on gambling for a living, became frustrated and understood that it is impossible for that to happen after they have faced great loss. Some of them quitted gambling because they have dreams to achieve, while some was able to discipline themselves and continued gambling. Those that are still blind believing that they will still make it through gambling are living their lives with no direction.

Gambling is for fun, and get yourself a means of income to take care of your responsibilities before you gamble.

In the match between Austria and France, to be honest, I was quite confused whether in the end Austria was that good or maybe France's performance was less effective because looking at what is happening now, it seems like these two teams are quite balanced, even though Austria is losing quite a bit in possession of the ball and opportunities, but so far France quite difficult to carry out attacks.
Why should you be confused, isn't Austria threatening France goal quite a lot and able to match France strength. Even though Austria lost 0-1 to France, they managed to make the French players tired of scoring goals. Not a single French player was able to score a goal in this match and the only goal that occurred was an own goal from an Austrian player. France started the match with the status of the top team, the very unequal strength of the two teams gave more credit to France being able to win the match easily, but the resistance shown by the Austrian players was beyond expectations. France first match did not meet expectations, Rangnick had to look for other alternatives so that France game could develop further.

The game was on equal ball possession which is 50-50. This shows that Austria strength is equal to France strength. However, France was lucky that Wober caused an own goal with a wrong header, if not it would have being a goalless draw.

Austria played very well in the second half and with all the superstars in France, they could not score any goal themselves. Mbappe lost one-on-one with Austria goalkeeper. It is quite a disappointment to me but they still won the match by luck.

When the lick down took place that was when I thought of looking for how to earn money online. Bitcoin was the first thing that hit my thought and I started making research.

Finally, I was able to know about this forum from someone which I was happy that I will be able to learn and know more about bitcoin. The potential of bitcoin after having the basic knowledge of bitcoin and this forum made me to stay, and be part of the bitcoin community.

To wrap it up, I will say that it is both greed and lack of good strategy that caused such decision making by the bettor. No one will purposely throw away his money because he wants to take risk that the chance of winning is close to zero.

You are right I will love to add that Emergency funds should not be tampered with or used for your needs, and being replaced back. Emergency funds is always there as stand by at all the time and not to be spent only when a real emergency happens that needs to be taken care of immediately if not it will worsen the situation of things that will lead to more damage . For instance, if you lost your job, or the roof of your house was pulled of by storm. You can rely on your emergency funds for the mean time till you get another job, so that you don't sell your bitcoin to survive during when you don't have a job. Your income should be divided, whereby you have set aside for your needs.
If a real emergency happens, and you use the funds like the example, I gave above, when you get a new job, you can then replace/build back your emergency funds. This is why we should have a good size of emergency funds, so that whatever emergency that happens, it can sustain us. It is also good because that is what will also consider how aggressive we will be when accumulating bitcoin through DCA in a particular time.
Seems we have a little difference in our ways of viewing the emergency funds, and you are obviously viewing it from the negative aspect only which involved threat to life. This is not what I understand the emergency funds is meant for. I see emergency fund as money kept for unplanned events not covered in personal planning of expenditure. Emergency funds can include unplanned visit of a relative, support to a friend that is in desperate need of help, buying something that becomes important which was not initially important,

This is the reason why you need a reserve funds and floats. Reserve funds is the backup to your emergency funds so that you do not tamper with your emergency funds until an emergency occurs. Reserve funds or float can be used to take care of what you mentioned above.

indeed it could come in different ways and not only when threat to life is involved. Loss of job which is in other words loss of the source of income is a different ball game because in such situation, the emergency funds may not be able to cover your needs such as rent, feeding, medical, etc and still allow you continue to DCA as you were doing when you had the job.
This is where your emergency funds comes to play its role. This is why your emergency funds should be up to 3-6 months of your monthly income put together, and it should be in cash to enable it sustain you during a very difficult or critical times like losing your job. When you have lost your job, you will be surviving with your emergency funds until you get a new job and because you know that you will not want to sell part of your bitcoin, you will get a job fast to make sure that your emergency funds does not dry up. When you have gotten a job, you can start refilling back your emergency funds gradually from part of your discretionary income.

If you have lost your job, you will not be able to DCA again because they is no discretionary income. All these should be put into consideration on you are on your bitcoin journey to avoid confusion when such situation befall you, if not you will sell your bitcoin forgetting that you can manage with your emergency funds when you have lost your job before you get a new one.

If you are Thomas and have just added more money to the pot, would you fold?  We can't see his face though but I can just imagine how disappointing it would be to learn Steve just have KK
I would never do that if I were on his place. What a stupid move he has taken, he could easily win that money without any problem but he Steve got him with his bluffing skills. In poker if you don't understand your opponent's bluffing style then you'll most probably end up losing money.

Thomas got a fixed straight but he missed it because Steve's bluffing style got him and might got scared by thinking that what if Steve holds Queen and King card. In any gambling one should understand that strategy won't work without luck, in this case Thomas was lucky but his strategy was wrong and that's why he lost the hand.
Yea, Thomas was lucky but didn't take advantage of his luck because he lacks the confidence on his picks which made him to fold instead of chilling and see what Steve gat with him.

Wrong decision at the wrong time kills luck and causes great loss just like what happened to Steve. This is why when gambling, you don't just assume that you have lost the game but be very sure to see that you have lost it by seeing the end of the game. I would angry at myself, if I was Thomas after my lost.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 17, 2024, 01:43:09 PM
Mbappe is indeed one of the shining star players, but he really has to prove his arrival at Real Madrid. Not a few star players actually fail when they go to the Santiago Bernabeu because of the enormous pressure caused by demands and the media's continued attention. Real Madrid is a team that has a long history and they have made a sweet record in various tournaments. For Mbappe, playing with Real Madrid is only to facilitate his personal mission to achieve titles both for the club and to pursue individual achievements. But now all eyes will be on Mbappe, if Madrid fails to win the title then he will become the subject of accusations.

Mbappe has joined the right team, because he himself is seen to have brilliant talent and with a club that is performing well, of course he must be able to showcase his talent to be the best here. Mbappe is very lucky to be able to join Real Madrid because he can achieve what he has not yet achieved. With him at Real Madrid, it is unlikely that he will not perform well, of course he will show his best so he can strengthen Real Madrid and raise his name at Real Madrid.

I doubt that Mbappe will not perform well enough to make Real Madrid fail to win the title, I think Real Madrid can still perform well even without Mbappe. and with the arrival of Mbappe, I think they will be more aggressive in their game, to be able to dominate La Liga. Apart from that, Barcelona is not doing well, I don't think they will be able to compete with Real Madrid well unless they can solve the problems that are happening to them and fix everything, then they can compete well in La Liga, especially as Real Madrid's rivals again.
The fact is that a successful player cannot do it all alone but he needs the support of his club and other players to make it happen. Mbappe is a world class outstanding player and we saw his performance in the last world cup finals against Argentina. This alone has shown that he can make incredible things happen wherever he is playing.

He was in PSG, but PSG is not a strong club that can use his skills to achieve the champions league because they are more focused on him than other players and he does not get that quality assist that he needs from his team. Down there in Real Madrid, he will be playing with players that are of the same caliber with him, and this will assist him a lot to bring out the best in him and reach great heights in his career.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: June 17, 2024, 01:07:15 PM
I never think Leverkusen can match their unbeaten record next season, but everyone can expect logical things about them next season. Xabi Alonso has a big responsibility to maintain his team's performance, this is the most difficult challenge I imagine for him next season.
It is very difficult to maintain the success that has been achieved, every time a new season rolls around there will always be an increase in competition and different performances displayed. However, I still believe Leverkusen will be the toughest competitor for Bayern Munich and Dortmund next season because they still maintain the squad that has won trophies this season and will likely bring in new players to add to the team's strength. Xabi Alonso responsibilities will be even heavier next season because Leverkusen will play in the Champions League, the level of competition which is more competitive than the Europa League means that Leverkusen must perform optimally if they want to survive longer in this most prestigious competition.

Leverkusen have surprised everyone this season and won the league title with a brilliant performance. There were some stronger opponents in the German league but no team did well against them which is why they ended up going undefeated and securing the title. Their unbeaten run this season will undoubtedly give them confidence going into the season ahead. If they continue this form next season, it is possible to do well against the other strong teams, including Bayern Munich, and beat those teams.

A tough challenge is definitely waiting for the manager in the upcoming season. Hope the manager is ready and the manager's boys are also ready to do something great in the upcoming matches.
Although I have the same thoughts as you but there is a small doubt in my heart about Bayer Leverkusen, where he might have the same fate as Napoli, the previous season Napoli was also on fire they could be said to be very good in the Serie A league to be in the past season with very good dominance, even the Milan team could not keep up with what Napoli brought last season because they were much more consistent and very good performance.

Is this likely to be repeated in Bayer Leverkusen in the season he will be in the champions league because yesterday he got an extraordinary victory and with his unbeaten status, I am very proud of that for Xabi Alonso, but how will he be next season will it be that strong again or even more? because we see that many of his competitors are preparing themselves and strengthening their troops much better than before, maybe what Napoli feels will also be felt by Leverkusen? this niggles in my little heart.

I don't think that Leverkusen will end up like Napoli last season in the next coming season. The reason why I said this is that, there was a problem that made Napoli performance to drop and they started struggling on winning matches. Which is the absence of Spalletti, who left the club for Italy national team, and different coach took over who found it difficult to understand the players.

Xabi Alonso is still the coach of Leverkusen and nothing changes, which means that he can strengthen the club's performance better than last season because he knows that he has a big challenge ahead of him. Playing in the Champions League is quite big for Alonso. He might not be able to maintain his unbeaten record but he will do better next season.

I agree with you that it is like Bayern Munich is starting all over again since a new coach was brought to take over from Tuchel. If it was Tuchel, I will say that by now he has understood the players and their capabilities on how to use and mange them to bring good results for the club, because I will say that he was learning last season.

Kompany is on a new club which he is meeting these players for the first time to coach them and he will need time to learn about these players and their strengths to know how he can fit them into his game tactics, which will not be something easy. This is why I still think that next season will not be a victorious season for Bayern Munich because the other clubs are also ready to win the league.
Bundesliga title was won by Bayer Leverkusen because Bayern Munich wad not in form previous season. The Bavarians are here to stationed winning and we know it's up and running. Bayern Munich new coach will do better, I know this actual fact for sure. Vincent Kompany is classified mediocre because Bayern Munich happens to be the first top flight club to manage as coach and we know what's capable of, he will put in enough work for the purpose to succeed in his first season.

Under normal circumstances, Bayern Munich would be the big favorites. But they have a team with the most extraordinary statistics in history. I think that whatever Vincent Kompany does, he will first and foremost have to wait for Bayer Leverkusen to perform worse than last season. If Bayer Leverkusen continue with the same statistics, Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich have no chance. If they apply the same transfer policy to Bayer Leverkusen as they did to Borussia Dortmund in the past, they might have a chance to change something.
If the two clubs that finished first and second on the table keep to their performance, I don't think that there will be any hope for Bayern Munich to win the league next season. This is because Bayern Munich brought a new coach and those other two clubs are still with their coach which they used in achieving their positions last season. So it is likely that their coaches will improve the team performance more and make it more better than last season.

Bayern Munich just want to start knowing the players and Komoany might not adapt fast with the players. I am not saying that Kompany is not competent for the job but he has a lot to do and a lot will be expected from him by the fans, be ause the are used to victory and they want those moments back immediately. Leverkusen and Stuttgart is a threat.

But of course I think Simeone has done his job well and of course I think Atletico Madrid only needs to bring in good players, so I believe Atletico Madrid has the potential to advance to the final and of course it is not impossible to become champions. upcoming season.
Yes, let's see what happens with Atletico Madrid.


So far Diego Simeone can be good at bringing Atletico Madrid to the Champions League, but in my opinion they are just not too lucky to win the Champions League. Several times they succeeded in being in the final, but they had to fail to become champions. Simeone can also be said to be quite consistent in maintaining Atletico Madrid's performance, even though they experienced several declines, but in my opinion their decline was a normal decline and not too significant.

Atletico Madrid have trusted Diego Simeone for a very long time, they are not too hasty in making the decision to fire Diego Simeone and sign a new coach. It seems like they also don't want to take risks, because even if they change their coach, it doesn't guarantee that they will be able to perform better or maybe they will even perform worse. Atletico Madrid does not want to be careless in making decisions.
Even though Simeone have not won the champions league, it is not a problem for Atletico Madrid management because they see that he is doing his job very well and keeping the club performance to be consistent in the Champions League. A time will come for Atletico Madrid to win the champions league because Simeone will keep on having more experience as time passes on.

Champions league is not as easy as domestic league where all clubs knows the weakness of the other or they are use to their game pattern. The champions league is something far different from that. It is difficult these days to see a good coach that will lead a club to success in just one season, so Simeone is the best coach for Atletico Madrid and with time, he will win trophies.

In gambling a gambler will only win one or two games but his loss will be maximum and those who are winning again and again are lucky enough that their wins are more than their loss. Luck will decide how much you will be profitable from gambling and there is nothing to study about gambling and learn about the process of getting success in gambling.

You cannot work hard for gambling because it is assumed that if you are gambling more then your wins will not increase but you will face more difficulties as your bet can be true or false depending on your luck and there is nothing through accepting which you can learn about gambling.

"Maximum" unnecessary word, I don't believe that losses are always maximum in every situation as a gambler, we cannot judge with such convictions.
Gambling is a game of probability of which it is low on the side of Gamblers winning, invariably meaning that Gamblers expect to win based off the chances presented and not luck, if we say luck why then do we analyse, make decision before gambling while not some random bet. There is nothing like luck, though everyone is entitled to there opinion but I would not support such as there is no lucky or unlucky gambler.
Gambling is more of luck and not analysis or decision making, and this is why you see it that a gambler cannot keep on winning but a gambler can keep on losing because luck comes once in a while. I see gambling as a try your luck thing and whoever take it so will accept the outcome of his bet.

We have games that are purely luck like slot machines, but people still hit the jackpot, so what will you call that. It is Sam with every other game that is used for gambling. Sportbet is the same if not a lot of people will be cashing out everyday due to their good analysis. Have you not heard that there is no professional gambler, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow correctly.
