This could be possible for Marseille this season, apart from that, this weekend Marseille will also face a promoted team in Ligue1 which is likely to make it easier for Marseille to get full points. And if Marseille can win by a lot of scores, I think Marseille will immediately get first place even if only for a while, because PSG will definitely make a comeback to make competition for points in the standings even though for now they are still not superior because they got a draw in the match his first of the season.
Marseille has good capital as a club that managed to finish third in the standings last season and if last season's consistency can be maintained this season then there is hope for them to compete for the Ligue 1 title. What becomes a big problem for Marseille is if there are injuries to some of the important players they have and situations like this can make it difficult for coaches to rotate players so it is quite difficult for coaches to try to combine the remaining players.

The next match will be much lighter because Marseille will face a promoted team, so they have the opportunity to get a big win in that match. Regarding PSG I'm sure that in the next match they will play much better and they will definitely get full points even though in their first match they drew with Lorient.

I believe that is already a part of their plan and what we are witnessing these days are just a fraction of their whole plan because I know they wouldn't just stop until Saudi League will establish a name in the world of football that will somehow be competitive enough to the other leagues and clubs that are also known around the world.

Sooner or later, I know they can produce their own best too apart from the foreign players that they have acquired to help the team win some championships.
Many criticisms have come from various quarters regarding the decision of Saudi Arabian clubs to bring in European players at quite fantastic prices and several well-known coaches have also said that the Saudi Arabian League has begun to build the league's reputation to become a football rival in the world. This will affect some European leagues because some players can be influenced by money when they decide to play there and for some people this kind of speculation looks so exaggerated and as if all players are equal with the accusations.

No one knows what the wealthy businessmen expect there and even though many people think this is a business. But if you talk about the positive side this will have a good impact on the continuity of local football in Saudi Arabia and they can exchange players to train in Europe because the interest in Saudi Arabian football players is getting higher with the birth of competitive competition in the league.

My question to everyone here is that if a member is hooked to this addiction, is their any resources to help that member. If not then what exactly is this community offering? I believe
if such a resources is available it should be on the pinned message. The next thing would be to always update it regularly, as things change quickly in gambling.

As addiction is a serious issue, if anyone here has been able to overcome it? Why not share how to overcome with such an addiction. As per my understanding all of these addiction have the same initial therapy. Do you agree with me?
This is related to the psychology of addiction and there are many cases where it is quite difficult to cure it. I've heard some people say about rehabilitation related to healing gambling addiction, almost many people who take advantage of healing use the method of rehabilitation succeed. This cannot be achieved simply if after rehabilitation the control by the closest people is not emphasized more seriously and most importantly the individual's desire to heal himself from addiction because this is also very influential in playing on the subconscious mind to stop gambling.

After this step is carried out break the gambling chain from his life by blocking all forms of access to gambling, removing access to financial control from that person. For example, all forms of money that are owned must be held by other people as trust in the family and must be given a more controlled portion of the use of money to be spent every day, and vice versa provide positive work so that someone who is addicted can leave gambling slowly.

Manchester United were stupid to buy Maguire and gave him very high salary but the player is smart to recognize that he will receive same high salary if he leaves Manchester United and joins any club in Europe. With his poor performance for Manchester United, big and rich clubs in Europe will no longer want to have interest to buy Maguire.

His only chance to receive similar or better salary is from Saudi Arabia but so far, no offer, no rumor about interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. If such opportunities won't come, Harry Maguire will stay with United, complete his contract and fill his pocket.
Harry Maguire almost moved to West Ham, but suddenly the process was canceled and several media said that the salary negotiations did not reach an agreement with the player because he asked for a salary that was almost the same as Man United's. Harry Maguire was one of the players who failed to shine at Man United even though when he played at Leicester City his performance was quite convincing and in his second season with Man United his performance was far from expectations. Man United also never stopped Harry Maguire from leaving, but the English player was not willing to leave Man United even though he had been given the green light.

Erik Ten Hak is no longer giving him the chance to be a key player in the team but he says will try to give it a chance if he can get back to the form he used to have at Leicester City. Personally I doubt Harry Maguire will perform as well as before if he stays at Man United because he is mentally disturbed due to the pressure from fans and other players at the moment.

The sad reality is that most of the altcoin projects are made to scam the people and there are few which have a perfect good use case. So given this situation, the market will always be profitable for new projects.

I can give another real world example of this. When the internet came into being, there were thousands of sites which were made and were profitable. Even after so many years, if you build up your new site (project) today, it can be successful too. So, if we relate this, then blockchain projects will always be profitable if made with the right intentions.
Your statement is very true and there are many examples that might be used as references regarding the development of a new project. The question that should be asked is not whether it is profitable or not, but whether we can benefit from the new project that has been launched? there are many new projects launched and there are also many people who might benefit, after that the projects are abandoned and there is no prospect in the long term. Sometimes many investors expect short-term profits and they never think about how the project will develop in the long term, the concept may vary from one investor to another in generating profits for the development of new projects launched.

For example some cases of new projects have ever existed and they were affected by the hype, when many investors benefit from the project, there is no possibility that the project development can continue in the long term or not. The fact is not the long-term prospects that some people are looking for, but how they can profit from every opportunity they have and vice versa with us.

It is just my opinion but I think there are many lazy people who invest in bitcoin but wants instant profit. I think bitcoin is not like a shortcut to become rich. people who get biggest benefit or profit are the early adopters it means they wait for long time until they can earn huge profit. Is bitcoin one of best investment? I think yes. is it gives instant profit? I think no.
Talking about the best choices of several investments that have ever existed, maybe the general picture that we need to know, such as maintaining currency values and the power to generate profits in the long term. We often hear the term get rich quick in some people's statements about the investment journey they are on and there are many people who get caught up in statements like this because they don't try to make an analysis first. To be honest they are not actively involved in it and these statements only represent some of the incidents they have heard or read about in the media.

A simple example like this, when we invest $ 500 in bitcoin, can the value of $ 500 change to $ 5000 in the near future? it is impossible because it takes a process to bring to the amount of profit we expect, these are only some possible examples as an illustration of how all forms of seeking profit must go through a process. But I believe that bitcoin can bring someone to a better stage of financial independence and that's what I have seen in investing in bitcoin.
787  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the market still profitable for new projects? on: August 13, 2023, 04:24:39 PM
Given the crowding of the market with hundreds of new projects and the emergence of new services or companies every day, I think that the number of investors or users of these services does not correspond to this large increase.
Everyone goes into business on new projects every day and technological developments make anyone have the opportunity to create new projects and they always come up with the best service according to their version every day. The goal was still to make a profit and they didn't think too long term about developing the new project.

So my question is: is this market still profitable for new projects?
Not all new projects can be profitable and also not many new projects are able to sustain themselves in the market. My question is whether you will choose one of them to benefit or stop following a new project that does not have the strength to defend itself in the long term.

Any new project developer will definitely see the potential and they will try to make their product the choice of many people, but speaking of opportunities in improvement, maybe not all products have a good chance in the long term. Most new projects end up on their own without further development, so they end up being left as they are with nothing left.

After finishing the first half goalless, Al Hilal managed to create a goal in 6 minutes of the second half, precisely in the 51st minute. In terms of opportunities Al Nassr had more chances, it's just that at the beginning of the second half their concentration was not fully created so that 1 goal could be shot by Al Hilal players.
There is still plenty of time for Al Nassr to balance the score or even return the situation. It's difficult because now it looks like Al Hilal are focusing more on their defense to maintain the existing score. 30 minutes is a long time to turn things around, be it for Al Hilal, or for Al Nassr.  
Finally Al Nassr managed to come out victorious in the match, even though the drama of the match was very tough which made the two attack each other and surprisingly Al Nassr got two unexpected red cards in the second half. Ronaldo is deservedly named as one of the best and most influential players in the game and we saw how he was able to equalize and scored the winner even though they were short on player due to a red card.

It was clear how high the quality of the players had been in Europe and they really didn't stop looking for a loophole to score the winning goal. The presence of Mane, Brozovic and Fofana really had a good effect on Ronaldo, so they won the first trophy for Al Nassr.

Both Chelsea and Liverpool got less than good achievements last season, it's just that Liverpool was able to improve their performance at the end of the season and they managed to get 5th place, while Chelsea still has to struggle with their slump. I think this will be a tough match for Chelsea and Liverpool because they both certainly want to start the season with high expectations. So both Chelsea and Liverpool will definitely insist on getting the victory.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have tough challenges this season as they both have to fight to stay in the title race and finish in the top three. The opening match has brought together two strong teams and both of them have the desire to get full points in the first match in the English league. But for me a draw is the most likely to happen because usually in the opening match any team will play a little carefully to avoid defeat.

In other matches Tottenham were only able to draw with Brentford, although they took the lead in the 11th minute through Romero. Brentford managed to equalize through Mbeumo's penalty and a few minutes later Wissa added to the advantage, until entering the first half ended Emerson managed to equalize. But unfortunately even though the match was dominated by Tottenham, in the second half no goals were created so the match had to end in a 2-2 draw.

Luis Enrique is a quality coach, but everything takes time and process.
What PSG has gone through should be a lesson learned, so far they have relied too much on abundant finances to win achievements and in reality they have failed.
For example like Manchester City in the past, they also have a lot of money but to be able to excel they also have to go through a long process.

PSG should now put aside the Mbappe problem first and focus on the match because the league has started and the draw in PSG's match is bad enough in my opinion, playing at home and against a team whose quality is below them but PSG can't score even 1 goal, I'm very disappointed on PSG's performance in this first game and I think PSG have to do a lot more work
It took time for Luis Enrique to bring PSG to the pinnacle of glory, both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. There are a lot of problems PSG are currently experiencing and they need to solve them as quickly as possible so they don't affect the team. The loss of several important pillars in the team can affect the outcome of every match and it was proven when they drew against Lorient, PSG's front line was completely unable to do much in the match and there were still many wasted opportunities.

This condition is very serious because they have to draw with a team that is not much better than them. If Luis Enrique doesn't try to solve this problem then I'm afraid they will only become a team that is not taken into account in the Champions League, because talking about the quality of PSG's play in that match did not go well at all

Bitcoin is still the best option to invest in 2023. Literally any one can get it with as little as $1 and then grow upwards with the right strategy. Business and real estate requires that I have xxxx amount of money. The speed as which people, I mean the younger generation have escaped the rat race and most of them have become digital nomads is because of bitcoin. Yes, bitcoin in quote offers you the gifts of early retirement and financial freedom for forever.
That is also something of the added value that bitcoin offers and although we are trying to buy with a slightly smaller amount of capital, compared to businesses and real estate which require a fair amount of capital to get involved. I mean it's not about making quick profits, but rather the approach in bitcoin can be accumulated with any amount of capital we have. This is what gave the younger generation the opportunity to try to capitalize on it and bitcoin will forever be a retirement gift in more independent financial freedom.

I don't see real estate or Business doing that. You have to grind in businesses especially as a sole owner, 24 hours a day for years before you start to reap the benefits. Building a business would mess up your work-life balance and it has to if not, you are going to declare bankruptcy and shut down. I reiterate, bitcoin is the best option to invest in 2023.
Building a business requires a long process that must be carried out by actors and no successful businessman generates quick profits in the short term by relying on little capital. It's the other way around with real estate which offers huge capital to get involved and there are many other things that many people may not be able to reach. The point is quite true that bitcoin is the best solution for now and we don't want to give any guarantees for the long term about bitcoin because people understand that very well.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: August 12, 2023, 03:03:18 PM
Chance of winning alone is definitely not enough and is probably the main reason why so many people lose money. What you need to be looking at is the relation of payout rate to the chance of winning (Expected Value of the bet).
Every prediction that we make must look at the results of the previous match and try to see what percentage the odds are for both the previous match and the upcoming match. I don't understand how do you mean the relationship between the payout rate and the odds of winning at the expected bet value. Is do you mean how the casino pays for each win?

So what if the team A has 90% chance of winning if the odds are set at x1.05. This wouldn't be a good bet to make. And if the team B has only 10% chance of winning, but the odds are set at x15.0 - that'd be a good value bet.
If that's you then will bet on plen A or plen B, I also know that many people look at the odds on every prediction given by the site and they will try to analyze the match before deciding to bet. So many people see the same opportunity in the predictions given, but I also don't forget my own instincts before deciding to bet on a particular match.

Finding a value and deciding where to place your money is really tough. If it's just base from the odd maybe there are more gamblers who can easily assess and manage it and take more money out from the bookies, but in reality it's not. There are more losers the very reason why we keep on seeing more bookies / sports betting that being introduced and keeps of attracting gamblers to use the service.

You need to have that good control inside you, and the right knowledge to guide you in pinking the right game that fits to your understanding.
That is what is called gambling and there is nothing easy in determining the value before deciding to place money on certain bets. Certainly gamblers will never be able to surpass the dealer in case of winning and that's why people say it's better to be a dealer than to be an active gambler. The job of a bookie or gambling site is always to serve customers to make money for them and that's how they make a profit every day.

If you lose control in gambling, the risk of loss will be the responsibility of the gambler himself, therefore a gambler must be able to be responsible for the gambling he is living. Compared to other gambling games, football is a much more rational gamble because we make our own predictions about the outcome and don't completely rely on luck to win the bet.

Odds Al Nassr quite tempting in addition to this team has become a favorite of many people.
Ronaldo is an effect and it must be admitted that the Saudi Arabian league will increasingly show a class that is equal to other leagues in Europe, though not surpassed or fully equalized for future league processes.

Al Hilal has brought in defenders as well as midfielders, but for strikers they still haven't got maybe before this transfer is closed.
Agree with you! I favor Al Nassr at the moment since the arrival of Ronaldo and several other players, but will not be denied by the offer of a bigger bookies to Al Nassr although a little different but this is more balanced in his game.
Even though the odds given to Al Nassr are more tempting, Al Hilal's abilities cannot be underestimated either. These two teams have undergone quite fierce competition in the league and they are both also competing to bring in European players. The game will be much more balanced and quite attractive for each time the two teams attack, but as I mentioned before and maybe I hope Al Nassr will come out victorious.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 12, 2023, 02:12:12 PM
Agree with you that opening match will not always be easy and Guardiola have been confirmed this that he doesn't want to underestimate Burnley although if we see from meetings statistic Manchester City is very superior from Burnley but everything is still possible to happend and as promotion team Burnley will playing all out so Manchester City indeed a bit under pressure because as defending champion win result is mandatory for them and during last season Burnley had good record at their home ground that Burnley only lose once and Guardiola have realized this records so that's why he said this is not easy match for Manchester City  
Man City managed to secure three points in the match, two goals from Haaland and one goal from Rodri made Man City come home with three points and are ranked first in the standings. The match statistics show the quality of defense, attack and possession is quite extraordinary for Pep Guardiola's men and they play quite carefully with high intensity. Overall, Man City's ability is still quite dangerous in attack and it's amazing that they are able to make the rhythm of the game under their control.

Once again we see how Pep Guardiola's strategy is always able to bring Haaland to score goals in official matches, even though in the test matches many people criticize Haaland's ability to score goals. The additional three points away from home are good capital for Man City and even though this is still the opening game it hasn't become a big challenge for the defending champions.
795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 12, 2023, 01:38:32 PM
There is a PSG - Lorient game today and I'm quite curious about it. Because Mbappe isn't expected to play and the reason is being inactive. Will PSG really leave him out of squad? Or it is just until his situation gets clear until the end of this transfer window maybe. Neymar is also not expected to play as he will be leaving this summer.

Therefore PSG are going to play with a completely new trio in the attacking line which will be quite interesting to watch. Because it has been a long time since we didn't see any of players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar on the pitch at the same time.
This is the first match in the official league 1 competition for Enrique and I want to see how Enrique's ability to organize the game strategy to attack. The issue of moving Mbappe has not yet reached a resolution and Enrique does not want this issue to become a burden on the team, So they decided not to include Mbappe in the temporary squad before everything became clear about his future staying or moving to another club

It shouldn't be such a tough game for PSG and I'm sure they will secure the three points in the game. After losing Messi, PSG's attacking trio will undergo an overhaul and I hope this will be the first step for PSG to achieve success under Enrique, both in Ligue 1 and in other competitions.

We have other investment that we can make money with, importation and exportation and also real estate management and also gas plant business that will be given weekly and monthly income depends how broad is the business and management, sometimes people do teach their children bitcoin and its not bad but let us teach our children other investment that can profit them as we think that bitcoin will profit then in future. Whoever that is having bitcoin as major source of income should spread it source of income and make bitcoin a side hustle.

It's good to invest in bitcoin but let us remember that it's a virtual and any money and profit we make in bitcoin should be directed to establish another business that will be seen physically and be managed physically.
There are many investment methods that can be run by someone and it is not limited to investment in Crypto, the more investment places we live, the greater the chance to generate profits. But talking about investment methods in many places will force us to focus on undergoing many things and this is where the difficulty is when someone is unable to run properly. People see the potential in Bitcoin today and most of them try to invest in the long run and I agree with you in one thing in spreading income and not only limited to Bitcoin.

Sometimes running a business that has a physical will be far more real, but it is no different from people who run an online business in accordance with the times. Getting the benefits of Bitcoin can develop other businesses in the real world and someone must be able to take advantage of the slightest opportunity and if bitcoin can bring someone to achieve it all, why not?

I am challenged and will bet on this Final match.
I will take a betting bets of Al Nassr's victory in this match and in my opinion the strength of the two teams is very balanced for now.

Yep both teams have spent a lot of money, Al Nassr now has Sadio Mane who has been brought in from Munich this adds to the attack on the front line with Ronaldo. I see Al Nassr winning this final although I don't doubt Al Hilal who have almost the same ability but more European players in Al Nassr.
The two teams were the most aggressively looking for European players and there were some players they had managed to bring in the transfer market moment. But for the Arabic Champions Cup final match I also have the same confidence as you and the chances of winning greater to Al Nassr, moreover the arrival of Sadio Mane will increase the attack power for Al Nassr and this will be a better team strength.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: August 11, 2023, 04:48:07 PM
Placing bets based on guesswork simply doesn’t work!

So, how can you break free from this cycle of losses
Generally I will bet when I get a good prediction based on my own research, for example a meeting between the two teams in football and I will see the chances of winning first before deciding to bet. There is no way to get out of the cycle of losing in gambling because there are times when we experience mistakes in making winning predictions. If your concern is how someone can get out of the cycle of losing, then gambling is not their place because we consciously know that gambling cannot always produce a win even though there is a method as a prediction.

Humans are often emotional and try to bet on an unnatural amount and although analytically, support and predictions for certain teams can bring victory for them. The fact is that even though we often experience defeat at gambling, but there is always no way to ignore it that's why gambling is considered very erratic and often deals with luck.

I actually also want a different result in the match later and if Burnley manages to beat Manchester City, of course it will be an extraordinary achievement on their promotional debut in the EPL. But indeed something like that will be difficult to realize considering that Manchester City is still the defending champion of the EPL with top squad depth in all lines. Even so, actually a draw is already very good for Burnley in this match, at least they can still secure one additional point. We will also see a duel between teachers and students in this match, namely Pep Guardiola vs Vincent Kompany.
In the opening match surprising things can happen, even though materially the Man City players are really the favorites in this match. My prediction is that the match will be a bit more even and Man City won't be too insistent on playing open because it's their first game and don't want to lose on their away trip. If people see that Burnley is under a lot of pressure in this match then I think Man City will also be under a lot of pressure because talking about the defending champion and this is the opening game.

Burnley will play with great motivation and they will try to make a surprise in this match because after all Burnley's spirit is above Man City. Pep Guardiola must be careful in anticipating matches and also have to be a little defensive to stop attacks that are trying to be built by Vincent Kompany's men.

PSG lost heavily in spirit and money. Despite owning many stars, they did not perform well last season. Regarding the team, there were a lot of internal conflicts in the dressing room. They don't keep the star Messi. Even Mbappe could not extend. As for Neymar, they also have to pay a large salary even though he is constantly injured and cannot play. Their image with fans and players seems to have deteriorated.
In the future, it will be difficult for them to recruit famous stars, and no stars will want to participate. Although PSG is very "cool" in terms of salary and bonus.
Forget about how much money PSG spent in previous seasons and now Enrique is trying to build PSG stronger in any competition, we have high hopes for Enrique and also hope he will become the right coach to handle PSG. Messi has left and now they only have to take care of players like Neymar and Mbappe and I hope they make a decision before the start of the league. The injury problem that Neymar often experiences really bothers the team and that's why Neymar is unable to make a major contribution to PSG and hopes that this season he can decide his future to stay or leave.

If PSG want to be successful then forget about the stars they have and focus on currently managing the team to be more solid compete with other teams. Enrique must be able to bring PSG to compete in the Champions League and this is the desire of many fans and management. Why would it be difficult for them to bring in famous stars, don't the owners of PSG have very good finances?
