Liverpool vs Arsenal will certainly be a crucial match, a direct clash that could make it clear who really rules in the Premier League. Statistics in hand it is difficult to say which of the two will be able to win, the technical differences are really minimal. But I think Liverpool have a more compact team than Arsenal. On December 23rd we will know who can be elected Winter Champion
Going by statistics it's definitely going to be difficult been able to predict this match probably almost unpredictable because the statistics Will be given both team so many similarities in performance and other statistics this season so far and no doubts these two team have really done so much that has earned them various spots on the league table this season.

I would want to look away from the regular statistical analysis, looking from the psychology analysis, the last premier league game Liverpool played was against Manchester united which ended in a goalless draw and yesterday in their EFL match against westham, they won by 5 goals, this could tell they have an average confidence In the premier such that can't be seen as really strong enough meanwhile Arsenal  won Brighton in their most recent premier league game by two goals with Brighton getting a single goal, but against Liverpool Arsenal will be playing from away so some how this may tell ok their confidence and mentality but then they still have a good psychology tho not in a 100% good form,  home advantage is the edge Liverpool has got in this game but the gunners will definitely fight to get a point at least .
Looking at the psychological confidence the arsenal players have now, i think liverpool will have a very difficult game, yeah looking at the way Liverpool played against Manchester United the other day, we might give them some credence because they played with some level of dominance against Manchester United but the playing pattern of Manchester United and Arsenal are quite different, however the Arsenal team have a lot of defensive and attacking midfielders that can easily create chances and score, Liverpool on the other hand will try to have some defensive and attacking mindset more like a counter attack mindset, it's really going to be an interesting game to watch, because it will be very intriguing.
Any team trying to play Arsenal using a counter attack is probably risking the game. I have seen it several times, when Manchester United tried it, Chelsea tried it and Luton as well. Any team that want to challenge Arsenal strongly should focus more on breaking and dominating the gunners midfield properly. Only through that way there will be opportunities to score and handicapped Arsenal in the game. Liverpool is a team i believe that loves the counter strategy but they should remember that Arsenal has intelligent defenders which they may not succeed in their counter plans.
Counter attack has been the game Liverpool normally plays, so that pattern of choking the midfield is what Manchester City normally plays, so that was why they had a clash that was more than that of the titans when they met Arsenal, because both teams we are fighting to control the midfield and create more chances at the front. Liverpool will try to fight because it's a big game and they wouldn't want to be seen as the weak side but most people are already seeing them on that light.

The quest for Momentary satisfaction and urge is something that has become a major problem in our society and we find more people doing things that get them excited at the moment and face a huge consequence in the future that is far greater than the momentary fulfilment they received at the point of performing the act.

Individuals in their 20s are engaging in act like smoking, use of enhancement drugs and consumption of sugary substances, [their is a friend of mine that must take at least two bottles of sugary drink everyday and doesn't seem bothered of the effect], and so many other vices that will hunt them down as soon as they are getting old.

As we de travel through life, no allow the momentary comfort when doing certain things go give you take destroy your future for you o! Ask those girls when been abort at a tender age and no come later get pikin again, them go yarn you real matters. I just want tell us say make we no go engage in stuff when go make us kpai before our time or even live a frustrating life as we de grow old oh

Even as you de prepare to celebrate xmas and new year, no go de eat anyhow come carry problem come back o, try use your head and know say anything when you do, you go still face the consequences latter on in life.

Let's celebrate the season wisely.
At every early stage in life, it is always difficult for teenagers not to engage in youthful exuberance, this exuberance are what makes them to get that momentary satisfaction that they want, some can also be as a result of peer pressure or societal pressure just in a bid for them to feel among their peers. And most times some of the habits that  are developed during teenage age stays till adulthood.
Na why we need to dey check our pikin the kind of habit way them don dey dey use to, if na watin way dey detrimental, we go begin correct then so that next time, them no go do am.

then what about Manchester City, they are becoming more and more worrying day by day and are very far from their usual performance like at the start of the season, they are losing a lot of points, and yesterday's match they only got one point against Crystal Palace because the match ended in a draw, Guardiola's squad couldn't added more goals, and ended with a score of 2-2.

but it is reported that KDB and Erling Haaland are ready to return to the field because they can be said to have recovered from their injuries, and is it possible that with this Manchester City can return to the top of the standings?

There isn't much to say about it, and there's no guarantee they'll return to the top of the league. After the players return, they will still have to go through the process of recovering themselves back in the field, which can be the most difficult part of it all. Long periods of inactivity always have an impact on a player's performance when they returns to the pitch. With the way the top teams are performing, there is no guarantee that they will return to the top of the table so easily, even with their entire squad back. All I can say is that the way they lost points to small teams will not happen again, and they will try to minimize how they lose points to those smaller teams.
You cannot say the way they lost point to small teams will not happen again, this is football anything is possible to happen, those teams you call small clubs are the hurdles you need to get pass through before winning the league, last season their losses and draws weren't that much at this point in time of the season, even with return of KDB into the squad, it will not automatically make them spring up into winning ways, it will take time and that time it will take other clubs too like arsenal are tightening their loopholes.

So in weekends in my departmental WhatsApp group, we just randomly talk about soccer bets and sometimes drop a particular game and keep it open for correct score prediction to be made on it, and the first person with the correct score goes home with a data subscription, this has been going on for almost two years now and people have gotten used to it without knowing it.

This is one of the chat I just bumped into by one of us in the group chat and at this point I feel most of my friend have made it compulsory to always gamble every weekend.



Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.



For beginners, the quote seems like something that is sarcastic, and it could as well make them look like desperate people if they apply it entirely without caution, of course it is believed that every gambler is one step away in making generational wealth, but taking a loan for gambling, it's something i wouldn't recommend, it is good to only gamble with what you can afford to lose not going to take loan because loan is subject to repayment, so what if you don't win because as a gambler is not every game that you will win, how do you repay your loan if you haven't won any game.

728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 19, 2023, 10:55:01 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
 
Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.

I'm trying to wrap my head around what you mean by in-house gambling and one on one gambling, however I think the most attractive of all you've mentioned should be casino gambling. If you walk into a casino, you are likely to see same person's coming to gamble over and over again within a week interval, but then I cannot outrightly say they are addicted, it can actually be as a result of the fact that, they are regular winners, Because hence your good with your predictions, you can either be booking your games online or you visit the casino physically. The other form of gambling that you mentioned about one on one, I don't think a lot of person would want to see it as professional gambling, because it's always results to physical confrontation at the end within the players.

I find this very frustrating when i see people complain about their funding bank/provider account being banned because of gambling related activities. My younger just called me and told me his raven account was banned and he has been using it to deposit dollars in his gambling platform and also paying for subscriptions online. I want to get this clear.

Is it because of the gambling activities that got his account banned or it is because of the legitimacy of the funds that raven are more concerned about?

Is there any gambling platform that needs to be avoided?

Since i woke up we've been trying to contact their support for complaint and no response yet. Is there anyone with similar experience?

I think you're brother most have gone against their rules, maybe because of the gambling activity that the account has been involved in, they're either suspected it to be fraudulent, which your brother needs to let them know, that's if he gets across to the customer service.
But at least they are supposed to do their own due diligence before taking such action on the account, or getting across to the customer to ask some questions as to whatever they suspect before going on to ban the account. I will advise to your brother should continue in trying to reach their customer service, they have a lot of explanation to make.
730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 19, 2023, 03:50:56 PM
Inter Milan continue three consecutives matches in Serie A and special achievement success made clean sheet last three matches, although have many public doubtness with Simone Inzaghi's squad but they have success managed top position in domestic league and qualified to knock out round in champion league. Inter Milan have top level striker with Lutaro Martinez and Marcus Thuran have scored 22 goals with Martinez 15 goals and Thuran 7 goals beside has Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored 7 goals.
So far, Inter Milan has only suffered one defeat against Sassuolo and Inter Milan holds a good record so far in Serie A because they are one of the most consistent teams. Martinez, Marcus Thuran and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are three important players who have brought Inter Milan to the top of the standings and the level of play of these three players is also quite good this season. Simone Inzaghi answered his criticism and produced quite good results for Inter Milan and now he is increasingly busy with a fairly busy match schedule in all competitions.

Current standings, Inter Milan have four points remaining from Juventus and they can take advantage keep defend the first standings, I think with advantage several matches later against not really strong teams has potential for Inter Milan keep on the first position and hope the rival teams Juventus and Milan loss their points.
Simone Inzaghi should try to make some rotations because they have a busy match schedule and because the next few matches are much easier then I think Inter Milan will benefit much more. Only in January Inter Milan have much tougher matches where they will face AS Roma and Juventus.
Inter seems very well focused this year. They are very ambitious for the championship and the players are united. Of course, the players who score goals attract attention, but I think they also play great matches in the defensive zone. They do not give opposing forwards a chance to score. Their goalkeeper is no longer a concern after Onana left. There is an Inter that is completely focused on the Scudetto.

Right now  inter Milan are the best team in the serie A, they are picking points both at home and away, scoring goals, they have an amazing squad and it would be pretty difficult for any team to beat them at the moment because they attack and also defend very well as a team and that's why they hardly concede much goals, I believe they can win the scudetto this season if they maintain this form, though the point gap between them and their closest rivals is not that much, but I think they are currently on advantage side because of their style of play.
731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 19, 2023, 03:27:57 PM
It's spectacular what Girona has achieved this season, a small Club between the giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
No one expected Girona to compete at the top of the La Liga standings.
And based on points scored, Girona is the best team in Europe's top five leagues.
It's great to see a club that plays football well and has its style.
Michel Sanchez deserves appreciation for his hard work. He built the current team over the past two years.
The consistency built by the Girona players and the Girona coach this season has really provided very satisfying results for themselves in La Liga. Girona is not in any other competition this season apart from La Liga so Girona can make quite amazing tactics this season in every match in La Liga so it is not surprising to see Girona able to be at the top of the La Liga standings by leaving Real Madrid and Barcelona behind. However, Girona does not have to feel proud about the current results because Real Madrid and Barcelona are still very dangerous teams in La Liga who even still have the potential to disturb Girona at the top of the standings this season.


The entire coaching staff and players of the Girona FC should be given kudos for what they have achieved so far in the Spanish laliga, for the character and hard work they have put in to be where they are today, especially in a league like this that have been dominated by only these two giants (Barca and Madrid) for decades, this goes a long way to show that, no matter the obstacle, any football club can thrive in Europe their financial status not withstanding, for years it has been between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but now we have a team like Girona at the top of the table, it's unbelievable yet true and it's worth emulating and I also see a similar situation happening in the German bundesliga as Bayern Leverkusen seem to be replicating same feat in Germany.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 19, 2023, 12:48:29 PM
They are consistently performing well in every match. And the team is unbeaten in the Bundesliga so far. The title battle between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen has become quite intense.

A small mistake makes Bayern Munich have a points difference with Leverkusen. Against Frankfrut, who is not too strong, Munich lost. It shouldn't happen because of mistakes like this that sometimes make regrets. And this happened to Dortmund last season who failed to win the League because of a draw in the end match. Indeed, maybe these 2 teams will compete a lot until the end. At present, Leverkusen has never lost, so they are also strong candidates. In February they will meet, maybe this can be decisive.
Bayern Munich has 1 match missing and they only lost in that match. Currently, if they win their missing match, there will be only a 1 point difference between them and Leverkusen. We can talk about a fierce competition. Leverkusen should have won the match they drew last week. Now there is not much difference. I think the points competition between them will continue like this until the match in February.

In as much as I love Bayern Munich I wouldn't mind seeing the Leverkusen side lift the bundesliga trophy this season, although both sides have been consistent fighting to retain their place but Bayern Munich have had some issues this season in the domestic league having dropped point severally in this campaign so far which is something they are not really known for, Bayern Munich have been dominant in the German bundesliga for some decades and is surprising to see them perform below their standard but it's also good to see another team emerge to help strengthen the competition so that it won't be league where only one team always win the title.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 19, 2023, 12:24:46 PM
I think Aston Villa's victory over Brentford was lucky because Brentford took the lead towards the end of the first half thanks to a goal scored by Lewis Potter. However, in the second half, Brentford lost one of their players, namely Ben Mee, in the 71st minute, which made the direction of the match completely belong to Aston Villa. Even after only playing with 10 people, Brentford's defense became weak and as a result Aston Villa managed to score 2 goals through Moreno and Watkins.

Victory in the away match with a score of 1-2 for Aston Villa and even though in the final minutes of the match they also had to lose a player due to receiving a red card, but that would not threaten Aston Villa's defense. But indeed losing Boubacar Kamara due to the red card will be quite detrimental to Aston Villa in the next match. This result also solidifies Aston Villa's position in 3rd place in the standings with the same points as Liverpool.

On the flip side, I think Aston villa deserves the victory they got, having found their way into the game in the second half with the first goal which got them back into the game and the late goal which also gave them the win is a pointer that villa can also become one of the contenders in the EPL and perhaps clinch a place in champions league, remember how they beat arsenal and Manchester city, so am not surprised how they beat Brentford because I saw it coming despite the fact that the home side lost one of their players which made them lost focus in some part of the game.

Yeah Manchester United where playing a defensive football, but also playing a counter attack game too, the game was more of clash of the titans, as the both teams played brilliantly, though that Red card given to Dallot towards the end of game was very unnecessary, I feel the ref made a mistake on that, onana on the hand performed excellently well today, the shots he saved where really impressive, if not Liverpool would have made it 2 Goals. Liverpool actually played like a home team, they where constantly trying to maintain the pressure on Manchester United. However the game ending goalless draw, was a fair share for both teams.

Jurgen Klopp dissapointed and Erik Ten Hag prosper, his defensive strategy do actually works and they have the best defendlines that could label them to be infront against Liverpool. André Onana deserves his flowers, he made brilliant saves and gave hope for the Red Devils when everyone thought they could end up not having a relevant results. The match was entertaining, and there's presence of high pressures measured by both sides. The match, Liverpool vs Manchester united ended 0-0 with both sides giving everything to record good scores.
I agree with your line of thought, the defensive patterns Ten hag played actually paid of at some point, because i feel he set the formation with a defensive mindset,  even when he introduced rashford to the game it wasn't effective because of the pattern of play he came in to meet, they where all falling back to defend and also running to the front for counter attack, Antony was making good runs from his wing, but had poor passes and crosses to strikers especially whenever he gets close to the goal mouth.

Man Utd proving to be a hard nut to crack. I expected it btw because more often than not Big teams will often lose to smaller teams but deliver world class performance against teams in the top 4. This is becoming a norm especially this season with Chelsea deliver big performances against City, Liverpool and Arsenal but lost at home to Brentford some weeks back.
Anyway, second half is underway. I have my fingers crossed for this half and hope Liverpool finds the net on more than one occasion + 3 points.
Manchester United are playing a completely defensive strategy against Liverpool today. The United Ten Hag is well aware that Manchester United have no chance of winning against Liverpool. That is why he is keen to draw the match 0-0 by playing a defensive strategy.
Manchester United made only two shots in 65 minutes. And only 29% of ball possession. Liverpool's players have been dominating the match so far as well as trying hard to break down Manchester United's defence. But they are not succeeding. Liverpool have had 71% of the ball possession so far and have had a total of 19 shots. It will be very sad for Liverpool fans if Liverpool lose points despite such a good performance.

Liverpool actually played like a home team, they where constantly trying to maintain the pressure on Manchester United. However the game ending goalless draw, was a fair share for both teams.

We don't usually see such poor defensive gameplay in the Premier League. And so I was very disappointed with Manchester United's performance in today's match. The players of Manchester United did not make any attempt to score. Manchester United is not a weak team. Despite having a strong squad, Manchester United's performance has been poor. But I would have been happy if Liverpool had won. Because in today's match, we are only dominated by Liverpool. I saw 69% possession of the ball by Liverpool players. At the same time, Liverpool players made a total of 34 shots. Even then he could not score a single goal.
However, Liverpool dropped 1 point behind Arsenal due to the loss of points in this match. Liverpool lost the top spot in the points table.
You shouldn't be disappointed by Manchester United performance, they've been inconsistent lately, remember they lost their last match, so draw against Liverpool isn't a bad idea. What is the essence of having a strong squad without winning games. So I feel they where even lucky in this game, because Liverpool where played as a home team with so much control on the ball leaving Manchester United on the defensive side.

Arsenal host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates today, looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Aston Villa last weekend that saw them relinquish their brief hold on the top spot in the Premier League table. The visitors sit 8th on 26 points, the host sit 2nd on 36 points. It will really be a match flooded with goals and this match might likely end in a draw. Mike arteta will be without some key players like Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Fabio Vieira for today’s match, all of whom are out for some periods of weeks.
Arsenal have a better advantage and chance of winning but they should expect a tight game against Brighton, in their last five games, Arsenal have lost only one game so far and have won all the other four games which kept them at the second position on the table, with 37 points just same as Liverpool who is at the top of the table with same point buy there's a good goal difference.

Ita the first half of the match already and Arsenal is showing some dominance rho it's just some few minutes so far, I think there will be some goals in tha first half of the game because they have good pressure and Arsenal is showing some good confidence buy Brighton is yet to fully show their potential buy trying to attain some stability with the game so far, I'm hoping bro see the gunners win are the end of this game, moreover they are at home and they happen to be the favourite in this game.
Arsenal have had more possession and more ball control than Brighton, but they've had a hard luck scoring goals, though Brighton have been on the defensive side, trying to contain the gunners till the end of the first half. The way matches are going currently on the premier league, one could hardly say categorically that arsenal will win the second half, I remember Manchester City in their last match when they were winning crystal palace, only for Manchester city to end up having a draw with crystal palace. So the second half might come with a lot of drama.

There has always been a huge difference in the pay scale between the white collar jobs and blue collar or skilled labor wherein the later one put in more effort physically and do more hardwork than the earlier one.

Should there be market correction done for skilled labors?

Some will say that an white collar employee is more mentally drained out hence they deserve better pay but people who do menial job stop working the world will just rot as everything cannot be done but robots and AI.

It's sometimes sad to see how they are treated disrespectfully, be it a waiter, delivery workers, cab drivers, carpenter, or construction workers as they are the pillars and without them things will start falling apart. I know some of these can be automated but not everything.
I feel the thing has to do with the company itself, because there are companies that pay blue collar job very well, big companies pay their waiters, drivers and cleaners good money too, same way some white collar jobs have also worker's with low pay grade, i believe it's has to do a lot with the company and the amount they are ready to pay her workers. there are jobs that do have low pay grade but generally it has to do with what the company has to offer not minding the skill or department the workers will find themselves.

Truthfully city have doubled their lead, obviously this will reduce the seemingly pressure Crystal palace have enjoyed before, Manchester city will now go ahead in demystifying Crystal palace and reduce their pressure entirely, because at this point Manchester city are even likely to score more goals because that's their trademark whenever they get to this point sometimes in a game.
Manchester City may not even see Crystal Palace as a threat today because other things being equal, City is supposed to take the 3 points without much stress. Since it is football, you have to physically work for any point hence, Manchester will deploy all their tactics to secure the win to close in on the major contender, Arsenal. At the moment, the match is still very dicey because one more goal from Crystal Palace will make the match end in a 2-2 draw that will see City still lagging behind the Guners.

Manchester City not winning with ease this today is an indication that they have not being the domineering force they are known as. Such a shame that they hardly score over 3.5 goals in their matches. This is the reason they are out of my chart.

I'm even surprised myself because after when Manchester City scored that second goal, i was actually thinking it was game over, as I thought Manchester City will go ahead to score more goals, however the game Crystal palace were playing anyone could easily suspect that they might come back because they were playing a counter attack pattern right from first half. But making this game 2-2 was really commendable, crystal palace defended and made good effort to fight back till the end of the game, that's why football is one beautiful game, because it's full of surprises.

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification. If he was like 1 cm in advance it would be disallowed and that goal might be a discussion subject.
Manchester City are pushing and Foden shot was so close. Meanwhile, Ederson deserved a red card instead of the yellow card he received! He was targeting the foot of the player and he was lucky the attack was in the side otherwise he will get red carded.
Manchester City are playing way better and the full defence tactic of Crystal Palace is useless in my opinion.
If you watch closely, Crystal palace are not that useless as you put it, looking at the way the game has been going this first half, Crystal palace have been defending no doubt, but they've also have a brilliant counter attack formula they've been using lead by olise, and it has helped them to create some sort of threat at the Manchester city defence line a little bit. No doubt about the fact that Manchester city have more fire power than them, however if it has been so easy for Manchester city, I believe the goals would have been more than one this first half.

If Manchester City can't score the second goal, they can't play comfortably until the end of the match. Crystal Palace are defending but they can score on the counter and keep City off balance. Crystal Palace are not playing well in their last games and they don't have a win, so I think City will win the game, but they still need to be careful on the counter.

Defensive teams are always dangerous against big teams. So I assume Pep is thinking about that and taking precautions, they won't want to lose points at home against such an opponent.
