Aboubakar will need to be re-disciplined by Fernando Santos. We all know about his ridiculous excuse for not playing on an important match before.  Grin  If Fernando Santos manages to build a good relationship with the player it would be highly beneficial for Beşiktaş. Because Aboubakar is technically the most capable striker in the squad right now.

Al-Musrati and Muci are decent transfers but Beşiktaş will have paid a lot of money for these players by this summer. This isn't a good budget keeping truthfully.  Sad
Vincent Aboubakar is arguably the best Beşiktaş forward, perhaps even the most talented forward in the league. But there are things stopping him, he doesn't really behave professionally. If he could just focus on his work, he would get great results for his career, but instead he likes to do other things. He returned from his injury and participated in training.

We will probably see him in the Konyaspor match. Let's see if he had a good recovery process after his injury.

I also think he is a very talented player but I think it is excessive to say that maybe he is the best forward in the league when we have players like Icardi and Zaha coming from Serie A and surely playing better than him.Besiktash should be happy if they get a place in Europa League and beat Trabzonsport to that as the only objective remaining for this season for them.The fight for a place in Champions League is out of their reach once again.
862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling on: February 15, 2024, 02:19:44 PM
Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

I don't know the Chinese culture but I think that this proverb here is meant for another meaning rather than to spur the gambler that is hidden in every person.I think that saying means to be bold and coragous in life in order to push further for achieving new things,it is similar as saying to our EU/US one which says,fortune favors the bold.

I have yet to know a country which incite you through proverbs to try gambling.
863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will AI Take over the Position of VAR? on: February 15, 2024, 01:27:10 PM
I have been hearing stories on Video Assistant Referee which is popularly known as VAR errors and and people are complaining that VAR is not doing well again so they should remove it while some are saying it is meant to favor one team over the other. And I can also noticed that in the 2022 world cup. And I saw this

And I also made research on Google and I saw more errors from VAR so I was also thinking that will the Artificial intelligence AI will takeover the position of VAR to give accurate results from the pitch? And today I have seen this again.

There is another story again. Joe Mourinho also advised the European Football Union to handover VAR to CAF because according to him CAF used VAR very correctly than the European league.


So what is your day on this matter. Will AI takeover VAR?

I don't know if Artificial Intelligence will take VAR over or not but what I know is that the VAR has not been used correctly many times.I have said this case many times and I will repeat here again as it really is scary.The last season game between Valencia vs Sevilla in which Valencia scored more than a regular goal and the referee saw it many times and intentionally said play on.This type of behavior is what needs to be eliminated not only from soccer but from any sport.
864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 15, 2024, 12:06:30 PM
When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?

Islam is the most extreme religion when it comes to forbidding things from what I see where I live.I go to the church as no one knows I heavily gamble online and as such have listened to some priest speeches on some Sundays.I can summarize with this statement from what I know from both religions Christian and Islam and that is "gambling,massive alcohol and prostitution are devil things in order to make you forget God and be involved in fruitless activities".

To me it looks great the Mercedes,most probably they got back to their old design because they want to give that feeling of thos glorious days to Hamilton which will be in his final season at Mercedes.The liveries of all cars so far look beautiful yet I look more forward to the testing days before the race start in the end of February as they can give us an overview about car performances.

Yeah they must have wanted to bring back the old days to minds. But when it comes to reality I'm not much expectant from Mercedes.  Tongue  I mean a championship race. Because probably Red Bull domination will continue to be seen during 2024 and 2025 season both. Mercedes' direct opponents are Ferrari and McLaren for now.

As I have mentioned McLaren do you think they will be able to be more competitive this season? I would really like them joining the race for the 2nd position in constructor standings.  Smiley

I think if they at McLaren capitalize well from their data of the end of last season and improved them further they can even have a chance to fight for winning races and why not give us a good fight with Redbull so the races can be more beautiful to watch.

I also think the same for Mercedes as they did not show anything at all during the last season so I doubt they have found all this improvement to the car starting from there,it simply does not make sense.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: February 15, 2024, 09:54:46 AM
Once a gambler want to gamble everyday then all we can say for it is that they are too addict cause they can not control themselves into play even though they will already know that they are lossing and it's a bad habit once you gamble everyday cause it's not normal for people involving in gambling everyday. Also we all know that there no tricks in how to win every bet so there's a high possibility that the gambler will loss a lot of money if he/she playing everyday.

People who gamble every day are surely addicts as they cannot consider a day a normal one if they have not gambled.Of course this is not better as over the long run this can destroy the gambler and his life for the simple fact that the odds are against us when gambling.Nowadays this is one of the most important sayings which anyone should keep this in mind when gambling every day so they can have a chance to stop doing it.

The game with Bayer revealed obvious problems (especially in attack) for Bayern, so I strongly doubt that everyone was expecting a victory yesterday, especially considering that this is the first away game. In the end, what the skeptics expected happened - Lazio was able to turn off Bayern's attack from the game, while they themselves were able to score a goal. It’s too early to say that Lazio got a ticket to the next round since in any case there will be a return game and it’s hard for me to believe that Bayern won’t score a single goal in two games with Lazio, but still now Lazio has a slight advantage.
Although Lazio had an advantage to play in their own home, but I didn't expect Bayern Munich could lose against them because Lazio isn't really strong in this season. I thought it's either draw or Bayern Munich win, with this lose it surely make a lot people think Bayern Munich can't able to become a champion.

I still believe Bayern Munich will win the second leg, it's really shame if they lose.

No one expected that for sure.Lazio completely dominated the game and did not let Bayern for a single moment to come to their dangerous play as they play usually,yesterday it was quite the opposite,they were dominated and were not dominant like they usually are.In here a lot of memes going on with the best one being "you hear son,that is the sound of ripped tickets from Bayern Munchen loss" which for me summarizes well what happened yesterday night.

Let's go Lazio made the upset. I knew they could do it, but I regret that I only had half of my stakes. 

Initially, I had all ten points on them before finalizing my prediction and used the other half for next week's matches. Tongue

Huge congrats for having balls as it takes a lot of balls to go against Bayern Munchen with a team not performing well in their domestic league yet yesterday they won and they did not let Bayern Munchen shoot a single shot in target.

I don't complain myself though as I got 10 out of 10 to Paris yesterday so I am happy with 16.5 points from this week.I am going with consistency rather than for surprises.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 14, 2024, 02:04:22 PM
People who gamble with such a plan think that the financial loan they are taking will be paid off by gambling and they will do it in a very quick time. There is good reason to think that, the gambler thinks only positive at that time and he thinks that if I gamble using the amount of capital I have, I will win several times and use that money to pay off my loan. When they come to gamble with such a plan and lose money instead of making money, they realize that the reality is not what they had calculated. 
You don't have to think about only the positive side or only the negative side of the work, but there can be both positive and negative aspects of the work, and which one is more likely to happen, then you need to take such a decision. 

I always say that if we are in debt then we should pay off the loan first and once the loan is paid off then we should take that decision. I'm in debt but I lost money by gambling without paying the debt then no we couldn't pay our debt and we couldn't make money by gambling means then we both lose.

The chances of this coming true are very slim yet the gamblers think that they are going to hit it big in their next session and of course they are optimist when they go to the casino to play.We have a saying here for the gamblers as many of them are losers so we say a gambler is someone who enters the casino like a boss and exit from it like a street beggar.So yeah no sounded logical person would ever take a loan to gamble and to pay debt with that money.
870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: February 14, 2024, 01:26:34 PM
It's okay if you blame yourself for your bad luck, because that is a normal response to this bad reality. What is not permissible is when someone blames himself too much for his bad luck, to the point where he curses himself and considers himself useless. That is a complete no-no. Because gambling is related to luck and gamblers must be prepared for all possibilities that they could lose at the gambling they play. And when their expectations do not match reality, it means they have to accept reality with a humble heart.
Very well said, but then, not every person understands things like the way you said it here.
In the last week or so, I  created a thread here of a reddit user was said he hated himself so so much for being so unlucky, he said his friends are winning, making money off gambling, but for him, the story had been completely different for several weeks as he kept losing his bet, regardless of how sure he was he was going to win it, and that had made him hate himself, and feel so shameful of himself that it was affecting his self esteem.

Personally, I sometimes feel it's completely crazy how deep some people allow gambling get into them, like the world is going to end if they do not win their gambling games.

That is very well said.Most people cannot make a real distinction between the reality that the odds are against them when gambling and the illusion that with gambling you will win a lot of money,that is the real motivator but one should also consider the odds against himself when gambling.Yesterday as usual I played like 90 dollars and kept losing and recovering during the session but I saw that I was staying in the same pattern loop and quit after a couple of hours with the initial bankroll.If I had continued I would have lose them all.

What distant memories that I call them funny now you made recall from this post.Once I had bet on Barcelona in the year 2005-2006 don't remember well now,what I do remember is that Barcelona was playing away against Zaragoza and had an odd of 2.35 and I had bet a lot of money on them,they were winning 0-1 until 86th minute where they were equalized.

I was eating a fried egg and I throw the plate to the TV and ruined the TV from the nerves,I was young back then and now when I remember it looks funny.

Pragmatic slots were great once upon a time and lately they have been keeping those large multipliers for themselves rather than giving them to the players.At Stake where I play it was a really long time until yesterday when someone hit an x8338 multiplier in Gates of Olympud 1000 but as I said before this I have been playing every day and from weeks I had not seen a huge win like that of yesterday while sometime ago I would see a max win every week.

Aaand Mercedes have also introduced their 2024 car!  Smiley

Truthfully I wasn't expecting the colors to be like its old version. I mean I really loved the full black design so this was a bit of a disappointment for me.  Sad  But it doesn't still look bad of course. The car still looks gorgeous.

Red Bull are going to introduce their car tomorrow. I guess there wouldn't be a huge change in their usual design but let's see.

To me it looks great the Mercedes,most probably they got back to their old design because they want to give that feeling of thos glorious days to Hamilton which will be in his final season at Mercedes.The liveries of all cars so far look beautiful yet I look more forward to the testing days before the race start in the end of February as they can give us an overview about car performances.
874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: February 14, 2024, 11:04:00 AM
I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.

Eh,a painful story as always when someone loses money in gambling and they can't refrain from continuing such activity.The worse it can happen to a gambler is to continue to chase loses when we know the odds are against us and as such if we see continuous lost amount of money we should stop,it is the best indicator that gambling is not for you.

Since your friend now is in debt he should forget about gambling,learn some new skills to even work after 9-5 to pay the debts and come back to reality.

We can say that Real and City are already qualified for the next round.Tonight interesting games are taking place with Paris game for me being one of the best games to watch as opposite mentalities are playing,I am sure Real Sociedad will have a defending mindset here by not risking to go in attack while Paris quite the opposite,I think they will dominate the game tonight and I fear they will crush Sociedad completely.
876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: February 14, 2024, 09:41:16 AM
I have something in between having fun and trying to make more money but not because I don't have sufficient money rather I try my luck in trying to hit a huge win.

What I do is I have a set bankroll usually 100 dollars and I go and play it with minimum bet of 0.10 in games with huge multipliers like x40.000 as a max win.If I don't win at least I had fun playing and I don't care that much for losing 100 dollars while if I win 1000-4000 dollars playing I am very happy.Until now the best I have achieved is winning 1300 dollars with 0.10 bet in this Return of Green Knight slot.

...I just put a bet for fun all the Premier League games and it looks like I found all of them,including the Sheffield win.
Congratulations.
That Sheffield and Fulham win were one of the most difficult to predict. The two games I got wrong in the pool so far this matchweek.

If you feel you may not be able to make some picks in the future, you could pick several weeks ahead. If you are active that week, then edit it using current form, if not, you still have a pick and potentially can win it.

- Jay -

Thanks.Yeah I will try to be more careful.It is just because I recently changed job and at the old job I was most of the time free while where I am now I am working a lot and I tend to forget a lot of other things.

Maybe I choose to put all the weeks ahead although usually I check a lot of predictions sites beside making my choices so I will try to be more careful.

The games of tonight looks rather easy on paper as for Real and City both should win their games.I am afraid to bet on them though as since we are playing a 2 game elimination match both Real and City can be happy with a draw as they would be definitely winning their return game at home and qualify further.I think though that if they are smart they need to win tonight in order to be safe in the return leg.
879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 12, 2024, 04:01:53 PM
Galatasaray will play against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Both teams' performances are good. Galatasaray will play the first game at home and this is an advantage for them.
I hope we win the first game differently and have an advantage in the next game.

Actually I doubt if Galatasaray will be able to win Sparta Prague because Sparta Prague is very much in a good form since the beginning of this season till now because if you check there last 12 matches they have played, they won all the matches, so actually Sparta Prague has really proven to every team on this season that they have all it takes to go far. Although Galatasaray on the other hand is also very much in a good performance on this season because they have made a great impact this season but the truth remains that this there match against Sparta Prague is gonna be very difficult to predict.

Galatasaray from them league Competition is doing well and it's the same with Sparta Prague as they're also on top of the league standing and divisions.
Sparta Prague are good when defending and has also kept good clean sheets recorded in the last five games and more four out of tue five played has all been clean sheets. Galatasaray has been winning them games very well. Now this is asides them league they'll have to fight for themselves.

They're already aiming also to win a trophy but I don't see this as one....  They should have also been in the Champions League but they couldn't win.

I also think that between the two teams Galatasaray is the stronger team simply because in attack they have two ex great Serie A players like Icardi and Zaha,one from Inter Milan and the other from Roma.In such context I think Galatasaray are in a better position to win this challenge than Sparta Prague is.Of course Sparta is a team with an excellent defense and this could cause trouble to Galatasaray so in the end I would not be surprised at all even if Sparta goes further.

I remember some years ago there were many sites to play binary options at.
These days I'm not seeing any major one being advertised. Maybe they were not so profitable for the house? Too predictable? Who knows.
Many sites that run with FIAT money still seem to support binary options though.

I tried to search to see if there's any ads here in bitcointalk to find a site I can trust but was unable to find any. So did crypto binary options just disappear? I sure hope not. If you know any reputable sites that offer binary options gambling please let me know.

I don't know if eToro is still alive as they supported crypto at a certain point yet I don't know if it is supported anymore as also I have not seen many ads about it while a few years ago the ads for eToro were bombarded everywhere in the net.

Now if it is not profitable for the house I doubt it very much because for the house these are very profitable,rarely I have seen people making big profit with binary options,for me is the same as gambling.
