It is a big problem when a club is in a financial crisis. They will always find it hard to pay for the coaching crew and players' weekly wages, which would make them to perform poorly because everyone will not function well when they haven't received what is in their contract. Barcelona management should look for a way to raise money to solve the club's financial problems; if not, they might lose some of their good players to other big clubs that can give their players what they want.
I think with Barcelona's current condition, they are not unable but they don't want to.

Barcelona has always been faced with financial problems that have never ended for several years, but instead of solving financial and salary problems, they are still busy with the stadium construction project, which in my opinion, even though there are plans for that, in the end the condition of the club is much more important, but Barcelona seems to as if they want to delay and continue to wait until their time is really up when it comes to players' salaries.

This will not be resolved if it is not resolved, but what is happening now is not that it cannot be resolved quickly, but Barcelona does not want to resolve it in a hurry because they think this problem is not very important, even though this is precisely what caused Barcelona's golden era to just crumble.

A history was made. I believe this is the first time a club ended the season without a single loss. Well done to Leverkusen.
For the Bundesliga, this is the first time because no other club in the Bundesliga has done that except Leverkusen this season, so it is quite appropriate that now they are given very high praise because it is not fomo but is indeed a form of appreciation for creating a new record in the Bundesliga.

A season without defeat is indeed a rare situation because if I'm not mistaken in the modern era only Arsenal in the 2004 season and Juventus in the 2011/2012 season did that and after a decade Leverkusen did it with Xabi as a brilliant manager whose way of working really impressed me. has an ordinary scheme in attack patterns but that is precisely what is deadly because Xabi can turn ordinary players into a club that never loses in terms of teamwork and attack quality.

Next season, hopefully there won't be a drastic decline because in this case there will definitely be a moment of reversal because it is impossible for them to continue to maintain their record.

It is a very polite way of saying that Ten Hag is the best, I have been saying for two seasons now that the only problem of the MU is Ten Hag, because they can't stand up with him, and I would rather pay compensation for the loss than lose another longer season, some have the hope that they can win the FA Cup, but come on, they have to face a Man City that has been hurt in the PL and the UCL, especially in the UCL, then they will want to win that title no matter what, and Between Pep Guardiola and a failed Ten Hag, the one who has the best chance of winning is Pep, and as long as they continue to have Ten Hag in the MU, they should forget about win anything.

The club management is basically too lenient towards Ten Hag so that when the performance is like now they seem indifferent even though this is clearly a problem but it seems like the club officials are making concessions to Ten Hag so that they get even worse.

Currently it doesn't seem to be a big problem to provide compensation for updates.
It is true that in the end there is no guarantee that when Ten Hag is fired Manchester United will immediately play well, but at least with a new coach the way of working and chemistry might also change to be more comfortable.

Because in the end, comfort in chemistry and professionalism are important to create a balanced performance, but what is happening now in the Ten Hag era is that personal problems between him and several players are actually being used as an excuse so that Ten Hag can leave even though the players who are fighting are still part of Manchester United.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accessing gambling sites only on desktop as a means to prevent addiction on: May 19, 2024, 06:09:32 AM
..................

You are right in saying that we should really limit ourselves in playing gambling as much as possible. In addition to this, we should also be limited in the amount of money that we gamble on any casino platform so that we can also control the money that we can only lose at the end of the day.

This is what most gamblers can't do; in fact, if they just look at it, it's very easy to do, but what's the problem? They simply have no discipline and no control over their emotions, and they don't know how to handle them correctly.

lack of discipline and emotional control pose as major hindrances for many gamblers. The inability to hold oneself together under pressure or succumbing to the euphoria of gambling leads people to continue playing even after substantial losses have been incurred. Another issue surfaces on how losses and wins are handled improperly; typically, individuals chasing after their losses tend to exacerbate their situations even further. On the contrary, when a person keeps winning bets it might lead them into betting more hoping they would win more money but eventually lose everything that had been gained.

So, what we need to do is develop firm self-control and keep our emotions on a leash while engaging in games of chance. Drawing distinctive limits and staying faithful to them is a way that can lead us to relish gambling more; not because it is the only approach of how you should play wisely, but as a main key to responsible and healthy gambling. Not just about restricting the size of wagers, remember, also include realizing when you should cease participating in bets so as not to fall into an infinite loop where you lose continuously.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? on: May 19, 2024, 05:37:07 AM
...........

Most people that have loss to gambling back then can be unbelievable having such archaic mindset,have heard that a lot times usually when I was much younger we were told that there's a spirit that controls all of this and thus tend to favour the casinos with more earnings leaving the gambler addicted and a looser.
And sometimes when I was much younger I use to believe such and stay far away from it but as I grew up to know some certainty of life I had to believe yes they are really superstitious and some people can be so spiritual and making sure other members follow their words.

Losses in gambling often entrap individuals within traditional superstitions. When I was young, I heard tales about spirits dictating gamblers' losses to fuel their addiction while casinos prospered, which led me to avoid gambling based on such beliefs.

In my youth, I too succumbed to such superstitions and kept away from gambling. With age came the realization that life is not as simple as being governed by mystical forces always. We live in a society rich with superstition and spiritual beliefs; many are still held captive by these beliefs, even propagating them onto others who follow suit.

In the end, grasping reality and steering clear of high-stake gambles is deemed prudent. While superstitions and spiritual inclinations may find a place within one's belief system, it's crucial to consider gambling as an endeavour that demands astute prudence and responsibility, irrespective of any mystical connotations it holds for individuals.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An interesting story and experience of a gambler on: May 19, 2024, 05:16:25 AM
We should learn that winning in gambling is not possible every day. Luck won't help me every day. If one gets such a win I think one should enjoy that win as well as utilize it properly. I have seen some gamblers that after they win in gambling they spend that money in some useless places and after few days when they lose in gambling again they cannot manage the money. He has to take help from others for money. Although the person you mentioned spent on his own needs and some other places as well but in my opinion he should have spent on some pro active work. If a gambler invests his winnings in an investment platform, he can get a certain amount of money from it, which further contributes to his gambling.
Gambling does not always win, it depends on luck, this concept gamblers believe until they become addicted to gambling. But when someone gets addicted to gambling they don't believe in this concept and they think that they can win gambling with their predictions.  And thus they start to think gambling is very easy. That's why they get addicted to gambling a lot. And those who believe that gambling depends entirely on luck use gambling very carefully so their losses are very less and sometimes they can win something good depending on their luck. And then they can use them for other purposes because they have that responsibility

Luck is usually ignored by those addicted to gambling. They think that winning bets is under their control through predictions plus strategies, which makes them view gambling as easy and they try winning all the time, a behavior that deepens their addiction.

However, people who know that gambling is mostly luck based are more cautious in their approach. They appreciate the risks involved and therefore do not bet indiscriminately. Instead they bet with small amounts so losses are minimized: although meager winnings can sometimes be made. Those small amounts can still be used for other important needs if not lost, for instance on family responsibilities or personal needs such as buying medicine or food.

What sets these groups apart is their approach to gambling, one falls prey to the mirage of control and certainty, while the other stays grounded in realism and prudence. They acknowledge that chance plays a significant role, steering clear from blind faith in predictability or control. In essence, their outlooks on gambling diverge sharply based on this fundamental belief.
67  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Casinos Manage Withdrawal Limits and transaction Fees on: May 19, 2024, 03:41:15 AM
Several casinos have their minimum withdrawal amount that they have set up and which all their clients must adhere to.  Personally I know that the minimum limit by casinos is mostly to offset or process transaction fee that could happen during withdrawal. But what I don't understand is how this works. If a casino says their  withdrawal limit is $10 and I have won $10 which I want to withdraw. I am able to withdraw the $10. so where did the money the casino use in processing the transaction fee come from?

*Edited for better understanding

Thanks

Most casinos set their minimum withdrawal amounts with a primary goal in mind: to offset or cover any transaction costs that might come up as a result of the withdrawal. If you withdraw $10 from a casino that has a $10 minimum withdrawal limit, it's highly likely that they have already taken into account the fees associated with the transaction.

Casinos can get discounts or special rates from payment service providers because of the high number of transactions they make, so these costs are already covered within their fee structure. Typically, a casino makes quite substantial profits from its gambling activities and thus any such additional costs (like transaction costs) could easily be borne out of these profits. In general, these fee structures do not substantially eat into their revenue stream. So, we see that even though there is a nominal withdrawal amount specified by casinos as well as a potential transaction cost involved, it doesn't really impact them significantly due to their profit margins.

It is possible that players are charged transaction fees directly at some casinos. Let's say the transaction fee amounts to $0.50, in this case, the casino would still receive $9.50 out of the $10 that was withdrawn. However, it doesn't affect them adversely because, in general, they take into account these transaction costs when setting their minimum withdrawal amounts.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Memecoin Gambling verses Normal Gambling - which is more profitable? on: May 19, 2024, 03:12:28 AM
When discussing memecoins and gambling, certain parallels can be drawn between the two, primarily in the realm of high risk and potential uncertainty imbalances.

Both can exhibit extreme volatility in the short term. While some individuals might rake in substantial profits from memecoins within a brief period, the likelihood of capital loss is equally high (as you might have found out). Regular forms of gambling like sports betting offer avenues for significant returns; however, they predominantly culminate in losses. With memecoins, gains are contingent on market dynamics and hype, a stark deviation from the luck-based (albeit sometimes strategy-tinged) nature of gambling.
   
In the hypothetical situation of having to make a choice, I would lean towards memecoin. Memecoin possesses that latent capacity to catch the wave of sudden virality, steering any investor directly into the stratosphere of their profits, an act of speculation not unlike what is practiced by those who dabble in high-risk stocks. However, engaging with memecoins presents itself differently from gambling; it hands you more control than mere chance-taking does. You can keep an eye on the market dynamics, delve into the nitty-gritty details of projects spearheading these coins and, consequently, frame your decisions not merely on luck but data-driven insights that you unearth through research. Be mindful that this is not blind gambling: this is calculated speculation at its finest.

Two more games until they finally make it a wrap completely. When you look at the records they set and made, you will see they are no jokers and definitely deserves it. Congratulations to them as the Bundesliga League Competition finally comes to a wrap today. Some people here said Bayern Munich would leapfrog them this season but they failed and couldn't get to do it.

34 matches in the Bundesliga without a single defeat and a record without a defeat in all competitions makes Leverkusen truly Invincible and indeed things like this rarely happen and are even very difficult to follow by other clubs including big clubs though.

Now we are really entering the final period of the season and this season is indeed a surprise that no one expected where surely the beginning of the season always Bayern became a strong candidate but they this season did not get a single trophy and Leverkusen who did become a dark horse where Xabi who came to replace Seoane managed to make a competition interesting where finally there was something that was expected where Bayern lost the bundesliga trophy because for 11 seasons they always got it and made the bundesliga like a farm for them.

I love surprises like this in the Bundesliga, hopefully for next season the competition will be even better.
70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 18, 2024, 08:56:29 AM

However, talking about Manchester United, currently they really need some new players who have good potential to bring this team back to its era, but if you look at Manchester United currently, there are many things that need to be overhauled, one of which is that the coaching staff that handles injuries must be replaced so that it doesn't happen. This season has happened again, where many players have lost due to injury, so the coach and team cannot give their best to Manchester United fans.
Before starting with the players, we must be aware that for now management must first be improved.

The current situation must be decided regarding Ten Hag's future because after all this is quite an important issue because after all Manchester United must take a stand in this matter. They are not in a good condition and maintaining Ten Hag with his ego could clearly be annoying so instead of being forced with Ten Hag it would be better to look for alternatives first.

If in the end it is possible that Ten Hag is still trusted, I am not sure that Manchester United will develop in a good direction and I feel that his performance will be the same as in previous seasons where Manchester United's performance cannot be predicted well.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 18, 2024, 07:18:28 AM
Refreshing a squad is a necessary thing to do top high competitive spirit within the team. Last season, Liverpool made a mistake by keeping many the same old players stay around when they actually needed fresh midfielders. There should be a policy with the fact of having injury prones in the team, they should not sign any player who has a bad injury record.
I think last season they did that too where we could see that everything was new for their midfielders when the old generation like Milner, Hendo and Fabinho were let go and looked for new alternatives with Szoboszlai, MacAllister and Endo. This is a refresh that has been done since last season, but their failure did not come from this, but the problem that occurred because they lost momentum amidst high self-confidence when they were always favorites but the reality did not match expectations, which made them mentally down. .

Next season they will be in a transition phase where the chemistry between the new coach and players may not be in sync well, so this is an important task now for the new coach to start taking an approach so that chemistry and cooperation can be established so that in the end performance is not disturbed. making this must be done immediately.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, He stands out as one of Greece's finest in tennis and attaining such a notable rank at his age is no mean feat. While Tsitsipas demonstrates exceptional skill by reaching the top levels of competition, his inability to clinch victory in the final stages might point towards psychological hurdles. Indeed, going against him in bets, as you suggested, could be a lucrative move owing to this inconsistency in performance that he portrays.

I hope Tsitsipas can control his emotions,, changing his mindset, and eventually winning a grand slam. It's always gratifying when young sportsmen find success in their personal and professional lives; however, until that happens, it seems quite sensible to bet against him given his erratic play. Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding Tsitsipas, much appreciated.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 18, 2024, 01:45:40 AM
To be honest, I've heard of many signals or fixed matches, but nothing like this. Have you ever heard of such groups before, and have you ever tried joining one?

I agree with your observation that many Facebook or Telegram groups that lure individuals with promises of huge profits through fixed match information turn out to be scams. While some may attract attention, it's best to be careful.

The statement by your friend who is part of a Facebook group with around 100 members that the organizers provide money for betting on certain matches does sound intriguing. Additionally, the odds offered usually range from 1.7 to 1.8 with big wins. But the need to share profits with group admins and face potential account bans highlights significant weaknesses and risks that require attention.

Personally, I have never found this group, nor have any intention of joining it. While there are benefits to be had, the risks and possibility of fraud don't dispel my doubts. My rule of thumb is to act cautiously and stay away from schemes that seem too good to be true.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does destiny has influence in the amount we can win in gamble? on: May 18, 2024, 01:33:02 AM
 luck also plays a big role in every win achieved by gamblers, especially if the win is in a fairly large amount. because in gambling there is no separate strategy or pattern that can guarantee that every time you gamble or place a bet you will win. The final result of gambling or betting is very difficult to predict accurately, gambling is full of uncertainty and unexpected surprises.

and if it is related to destiny, then there are two kinds of destiny. The first is fate that cannot be changed, which has become a decision, just like death. And the second destiny is a destiny that can be changed, where this destiny can change but depends on the efforts or efforts made by the human being himself. If it is related to winning in gambling, then winning in gambling falls into the second destiny, or a destiny that can be changed. and for example, suppose a certain person is destined to lose in the gambling he is doing, but because he continues to hone his skills in gambling, is able to make predictions that are quite good and rational, then it does not rule out the possibility that in the end that person will find victory in gambling. .
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jose Mourinho Next Job (Season 2024/2025) on: May 17, 2024, 11:55:35 PM
Money is certainly not a problem for any clubs from Saudi Arabia to get Mou but I doubt Fenerbache willing to spend a lot of money just to get Mou.
However, even if they offer a big contract - I dont think he will take it, Mou is an ambitious person and Im sure he is still awaiting an offer from big clubs in Europe or National teams.
It looks like he wont refuse if Newcastle or Chelsea make an offer to him.

Money shouldn't be a problem for any club in Saudi Arabia if they are interested in acquiring Mourinho (Mou). With his good reputation and remarkable successes in Europe, it's only natural that he aims to continue his career at top-tier clubs. If Newcastle or Chelsea were to make an offer, it would definitely catch his attention. Both clubs have great potential and adequate resources that can help fulfill Mou's aspirations. Newcastle, with its large project and strong financial support, could pose an interesting challenge for Mourinho while a return to Chelsea, where he has previously tasted success, holds strategic value for both parties. Even when presented with a significant offer from clubs like Fenerbahce, I believe Mourinho is more inclined to wait for a prestigious opportunity in European or international football that offers more challenges. His ambition and drive to excel at the highest level makes him very selective about his next destination, as he waits for the right fit that will allow him to continue showcasing his capabilities at optimal levels.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: May 17, 2024, 11:39:49 PM
Never mind teenagers who are still underage, even those who are old enough and perhaps already have families often lose control when gambling. Especially those who are still teenagers, whose behavior and thinking are still unstable, who are not yet able to determine and take responsibility for the decisions they make, who are not yet able to truly differentiate between what is good for them and what is not. With all their shortcomings, lack of experience, knowledge and understanding, they are very vulnerable to becoming addicted to gambling and being trapped in a cycle of irresponsible gambling.

Gambling can destroy their lives and future, because the negative impact and domino effect of irresponsible gambling activities is worse than we think.

And the lack of attention and supervision from parents is one of the main factors in the number of teenagers involved in the cycle of irresponsible gambling. And many of them (parents) prioritize their work more than their children. They have neglected this, and underestimated the importance of family education for a child. So I agree with what the OP said, that education related to gambling prevention must be pushed into the educational realm, especially in public schools. Because currently school is the only place they study.

Nicolas Jackson has a lot of potentials and only people who have an eye for football will be able to see that he is a talent that needs to be bred for it to get to full maturity. He already shows the qualities needed which includes good positioning, good speed and able to outpace defenders, it is just his finishing that he needs some brushing up to do and I'm very sure that that can easily be achieved. Nicolas Jackson's purchase for Chelsea is not a waste of money. This season was season for Cole Palmer maybe next season will be Nicolas Jackson's season to become legendary for the club Chelsea.

The legend of the club? at least he has to show a performance that is indeed much better than today because seeing from the current season he is doing at Chelsea especially with the price then indeed I do not feel that there is something special from Jackson because indeed his performance is very standard and even tends not to be able to do much for Chelsea this season so that saying the legend needs a lot of action and the service period given from a Jackson for Chelsea because saying they are currently a legend without not giving anything special it will only tarnish the big name of Chelsea and their past legends.

Seeing from what happened this time Chelsea although a little improved but it still does not reflect a big club so next season they have to make more progress if they really want to be considered a big club again and the current players are considered legends in the future.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 17, 2024, 02:51:48 PM
Thiago Motta is Juventus' main target to become Allegri's successor. The news has been blowing hard this week. Of course, Juventus' desire is quite reasonable because they want to renew their style of play and increase the enthusiasm of young players and Motta is considered the right figure for the job. Motta himself also has good capital after successfully bringing Bologna through to the Champions League, which is certainly an achievement because a team like Bologna can be transformed into a team capable of competing at the top. However, Allegri also still has a contract with Juventus until next year, but strong signals that he will be fired are blowing very quickly after successfully winning the Copa Italia, which may also be a farewell gift for him and the Old Lady.
Seeing from the conversation given in Fabrizio's statement, it seems that this rumor could become a reality because seeing from what is happening at this time it is rumored that Juventus have tried to provide a 4-year proposal for Thiago Mota as an initial offer although there is no further news about this in the end but there is still further news about this.

I think it is important for Thiago Mota to pay attention to his future. He's doing very well at Bologna and that's what we can see from the performance that's happened this season but even if it's like that, with resources that are still far below it's a little difficult to force Bologna so it would be quite good if Mota looked for a more stable club. It's just that actually for now Juventus is also not the right club if it wants to be instant unless he is prepared for any overhaul and get Juventus back on track then it could be a reality for Mota to coach Juventus next season.

Does anyone agree that Chelsea made a lot of unnecessary buying this season, like jackson the biggest flop in the premier league, je has missed more chances than he had scored, in fact I can say that only palmer was the best signing that Chelsea did this season, I still think they need to striker like osime to complete their team for next season.
It's not a matter of agreeing or not because even if we agree or even oppose what Chelsea is doing we are ultimately just a spectator without being able to contribute any votes and all decisions remain in the hands of Todd who currently holds the full power of the Chelsea club so what he does is an absolute thing in the end.

But on the other hand at this time there is still a possibility for Todd to make a further overhaul of this because after all with the conditions that occur now, Chelsea have experienced an increase in performance, especially towards the end of this season but we don't know whether Todd will be satisfied or not so when he still feels unsatisfied with Chelsea's current condition, it is not impossible that he will again make some changes to the players and even the coach, especially seeing some of the rumors that are happening right now we can see that there are some rumors about Poche's replacement that are still blowing in the previous few weeks.

In this match Real Sociedad team players performed well, as they managed to score a goal right from the start of the match. But later on, the performance was so good that neither of the two teams could score any more goals, with equal attacks. So far Andre Silva has missed more attacks, but the defenders of both teams are very strong. So far no other player has succeeded in attacking but Real Sociedad team players are more aggressive, this match Real Sociedad team players can win.

Real Sociedad continues to try to secure tickets to the conference league  they compete with Real Betis who are 1 point behind well there is no other choice if they want to get a ticket they have to win the remaining match Sociedad and Betis are both not yet safe because there are 6 points still up for grabs. On the other hand, 4 teams have locked up a place in the Champions League so there is no other competition as well as places for the European League.
Next week's match will be a determination where Betis and Sociedad will meet and beat each other and indirectly who will win in this match then indirectly they can get 6th place (the probability is very strong for that) because looking at the situation now we can know that their points are balanced.

Their performance is also not too bad and balanced especially these 2 clubs in the last 2 seasons are dark horses that are very troublesome so this could be a big match that is quite interesting in the end.

But with the current conditions of the two clubs I am not too brave to make a bet because indeed these two clubs cannot be predicted and in terms of odds now actually in my opinion this is a little risky so I will only watch this comfortably without any bets on the match.
