Troyes did played quite well against Paris Saint Germain yesterday as they did not allow their opponent to control the tempo of the game for the whole match, even though Troyes have lost their first game but I think if they are able to keep up this performance, Troyes should be able to survive relegation in the Ligue 1 this season.
Troyes is a promoted team and I think it's still not certain that Troyes will stay in Ligue 1 for the next season, although in the first match he can perform well but in the PSG squad there are still many players who are rested. Anyway, this is just the first match, which is of course still a long way to go and I personally can't judge for the future. But in contrast to PSG I think, this is the strongest team at the moment if Messi joins, imagine from the goalkeepers to the forwards all are star players and PSG have players 1 and 2 at the same level and that's great. Shocked

I want to see his interview from tomorrow with Barcelona as that will be an emotional one and I'm really mad how Messi departs from Barcelona.

So far I did not see any official news with the transfers to PSG but I think it will be official somewhere next week and then his era to PSG will begin. I can already see the tower in argentina colors to honor the transfer of Messi.

So far I have not seen any official news of Messi going to PSG but I am watching a lot of rumors. The last rumor is that Messi is going to join PSG and PSG will give 40m wages to Messi. And the contract can be 3 years. I heard another interesting news. PSG has booked the Eiffel Tower to welcome Messi. These rumors are more likely to come true. But it's hard to believe until you see the official news.
Just wait a few minutes guys!
Today at noon the Argentine star will speak at a press conference at the Camp Nou and we will know from his very words what his future's going to be, with Paris Saint-Germain his likely destination.
By the way, yesterday there was a farewell dinner for Lionel Messi, who invited his former teammates to his home in Barcelona.
Although there is no official status yet I personally believe this transfer will become a reality and how not, this rumor is like a news that will definitely happen so I consider it not just a rumor but has become something very serious. One of the things that makes me believe Messi will leave is about La Liga's salary cap rules, for that reason of course there is nothing more that Barcelona can do and let's wait for further news but I still believe this issue is true.

Leicester's victory in the FA Super Cup proves once again that the stars do not decide anything. The most important thing is the team. 11 people play football. I am happy for Leicester. I am glad that there are such teams that prove that nothing is lost in football and not everything. money decides.
This is a different prestige from many existing tournaments, we can see that not all the players that City play are main players. So I think, with City not playing the main players then it can be said that the strength or level is balanced as well. It's a different story if this is a prestigious tournament where at least the favorite team plays the main players, if the result still loses then we can say money is not guaranteed. Indeed, this sometimes happens, but in this match I don't think we can compare it with money because we have to look at the composition of the players played as well.

To be honest friendship is full of expectations but it makes things worse. I take him as a friend and keep thinking of him as a business partner our friendship has always been good I hoped that this relationship would benefit not only me but also zimbabwean cricket that's why I was so interested she even gave him information by accepting a lot of benefits because of the friendly relationship. But later friendly matches make gambling worse everything fails before the end.
I don't understand about you considering a club or team as friends? Also, the friendly match is not about you fighting him. But if you consider a club or team as a business partner, then I think you become part of the staff that is within the club, maybe. I guess you think the friendly match is your match with him or something, or how can you think of a club or team as a business partner?
8905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Exposed to children on: August 08, 2021, 04:55:58 AM
If you have kids that are on 10 to 16 years brackets you should watch what they are watching and what they are following and bookmarking, there are so many streamers and YouTubers promoting gambling sites and they are keywords away and many of them are even recommended by Youtube as relevant contents or videos, you should educate your children on what to watch and who they follow.

These days its difficult to control the kids and children because everything is available on mobile and its hard to track all the time the activity of the children.
If you want that you want children to remain away from gambling, you should sd counselling with them and tell the pros and cons of gambling. This will help them decide better.
Children are not experienced enough to understand exactly how risky gambling is and what we teach them, it cannot indirectly give them a better decision, it only directly supports their curiosity, such advice is not a conversation, it's just stimulating the kids' brains, helping them to search more about gambling. Why do we always try to force children to participate in phone viewing when other fun activities are still useful to them, friends are also a good thing, a psychological parent is not a rigid and forbidding parent

Its difficult for the children to digest the bad part of the gambling. Usually Kids treat gambling games as other online games. If we could make their interest more in other games, maybe they won't be attracted towards the gambling games.
Not necessarily, because gambling games always provide their own charm. So, even if we direct them to other online games such as videogames which are basically not gambling but still, in the end, gambling games will still be in demand over time. Therefore, I think it would be better for children not to be given smartphones or any gadgets immediately, at least there must be an effort that children must make in order to get gadgets. For example, having to learn first to be able to access what is on the internet through a gadget, maybe the stimulation to read or study can be a diversion for his brain and it will be better and safer.

One week Serie A and primer league will begin but Lukaku have confirmed close negotation with Chelsea, I think is better for both team could deal player transfer without one week before league begin and they can play for the first match for their team. I want to see Lukaku what can give for Chelsea with higher  transfer value, will make many goal again like for Inter Milan or not.
If Lukaku comes back to Chelsea, maybe I'm one of those people who worry about his performances. Because for me, it would be better for Lukaku to stay at Inter but yes, if selling Lukaku gives financial benefits to the club maybe it will be fine. I'm just not sure, even though Lukaku will be managed by Tuchel at Chelsea I think it's a big question mark whether Lukaku will quickly fit into the style of play that Tuchel will apply later. I will still be curious about the continuation of this transfer and yes, stay or leave there will certainly be those who benefit and hopefully there will be no mistakes if this is a high transfer value.
8907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should online gambling companies be responsible for harm related activities? on: August 07, 2021, 10:28:54 AM
Business is business so don't expect them to take care of you, if anyone wants to be safe while gambling then its their responsibility to gamble safe with time limitations and good financial management and I don't know how can we expect the gambling sites to monitor all the individuals and their betting habits which is literally not possible via monitor.
Yes, basically gambling itself is a risky game so when they start playing then they are responsible for themselves and no one else. But indeed, the company can give warnings in many ways too, if a player enters using a ticket, the company can still remind him through the ticket about the gambling itself so that gamblers can make choices from the start. Because the main thing is to remain disciplined because once we make carelessness in betting, then it will certainly be detrimental and create danger because of our own choices or actions, all return to their respective self-awareness.
8908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Need beginner guide in gambling. on: August 07, 2021, 08:19:20 AM
I don't really think someone gambling needs a guide. Gambling involves risk, when one bet, either you wins or lose.
The only word I have for a new gambler is that, when he/she takes gambling as a means of livelihood, it will probably leads to gambling addiction, he/she will definitely lose more money. Play for fun, and don't get too attached to gambling.
A beginner certainly needs guidance and not always a beginner must be associated with addiction, basically a beginner does not understand about the game of gambling itself and what to pay attention to in the gambling game itself. Gambling is basically not just about clicking bets, at least you need a guide to be able to understand the contents of the many buttons in gambling itself. If you continue to associate gambling with addiction, then it is a mistake because after all, a beginner gambler as much as possible gets the right guidance so as not to get lost in defeat.

Inter have rejected Chelsea's €100m offer for Romelu Lukaku. But it seems like Chelsea won't be giving up on him soon. They are preparing to make a bigger offer. Inter chairman is already not too eager to sell Lukaku to any club. So this will be a quite hard deal for Chelsea to end successfully. It's also said that Lukaku wouldn't say no to going back to Chelsea. Let's see what the coming days will bring us.
Inter probably want something higher from Chelsea. Chelsea offered £85m and one of their player. But Inter rejected the offer. Lukaku wants to play in Chelsea again, he is quite talented and will probably make Chelsea's squad stronger. Chelsea had Haaland as their top target, but Dormund don't want to sell him out. However, they now have their attention on Lukaku, and they won't give up on him.
I don't think Romelu Lukaku is suited to playing in the PL but indeed, I also realize that Lukaku got his prime when he was on loan from Chelsea to Everton. But in my view his performance has declined even after being fully owned by Everton and then Manchester United as well, his performances are less than perfect as when he was on loan at Everton. There are so many players who have returned to their previous clubs and many of them have not been able to give their best, so I'm only worried for Chelsea if they manage to bring back Lukaku but it could be a mistake too.

About Messi's decision that changed from before, where previously Messi was willing to stay at Barcelona by reducing his salary, but before the league started it turned out that new news emerged about Messi who would leave Barcelona. With a decision like this I'm not sure Barcelona will be able to win the title this season, because before I was sure if Messi stayed at Barcelona then of course Barcelona's chance to get the title this season is very big. Sad

me sometimes I'm playing dice game on my mind which it leads me on playing dice game even if I already use my gambling budget.
Sorry but LOL.

This is really a sign of addiction that you are even playing on your mind and you can't resist not to think about dicing. I just find it funny but this is a sad reality that's really happening to many gamblers.
It was like that and with this discussion then at least he could realize if he had any signs of gambling addiction. In the past, with not many discussions like this on social media that I found, at least this kind of thing is difficult for me to realize about a mind that has been controlled by gambling is a sign of addiction. Because of that awareness, at least he had understood what steps should be taken to erode such thoughts in his brain, because if it continued to be a thought then he would also continue to try it in gambling.

In the next few hours we will get the first Ligue 1 match between Monaco - Nantes. I wonder if it will be an easy match and bet for Monaco to get a win in this opening match. If we look only from head to head then obviously, Monaco are in control but I'm still cautious because this is the opening game with a squad that may have changed will be the difference in the game.
8913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: August 06, 2021, 10:58:02 AM
Guys, I have a question ... I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but I'll ask you anyway. What if, hypothetically, I want to increase my chances? Can I double or triple the entry fee? The question is more related to ethics, since if we are guided by logic, then we can assume that ten people who made a double entry fee will increase the total prize pool. However, only your main Superbru account can participate in the weekly Yellow Cap draw.
I think it's been discussed before but I'm not following it any further. But in essence, at the time regarding multiple entries with the same entry fee, I personally disagreed about it and again, I don't know what the outcome of the discussion at that time was whether it was approved or not.

It started seeming like Chelsea will let go Erling Haaland transfer. Or maybe they will start thinking about it again if they fail on signing an alternative top striker. Because Haaland is the most expensive player in their transfer list now. But he is the youngest one also. If they somehow manage to sign him before the end of the transfer window, it will be an investment directed the future too. Haaland is performing great already at this very young age (21). I can't even imagine how much better he will be in the future by continuing to improve himself quickly.
It is an asset for himself because of his skills and of course an asset for the club that owns him, if at this young age he already has a high selling value then of course over time that value will continue to increase as well. There is still a lot of time and journey ahead and it is possible that Haaland and Mbappe will replace the next era of Ronaldo and Messi, considering their young age and of course that seems to promise their brilliance from time to time.
8915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accumulating small odds or choosing one or two big odds on: August 06, 2021, 06:51:17 AM
Betting on football these days I prefer betting on total goals option, but sometimes betting with moneyline options or picking teams outright. I don't think options like that can be used as a benchmark which we should prioritize, because every match is always a different option in betting and it will be more fun. At least that's the most fun way to bet on soccer and it's not always monotonous in just one option, because that's the way it has made me win big in the past over time. But yes, the big win I got was not collecting small odds because honestly it was just a waste of time, if we are looking for big or small wins then of course I prefer to collect big odds by betting parlays and singles.
8916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: August 06, 2021, 04:42:16 AM
I only return to a game if I like or feel like I understand it, part of the hook to any gameplay will be the winnings and nature of how the game delivers that performance back to you.    Its probably a really important of the game design and how successful it is with customers, I think alot of people like the mad streak multiplier effects where it can string together into a bigger win.   For me something as simple as the music and sound design could be why I like it, this doesn't relate to winnings at all just I don't like games that bug with their noise or if I have to mute it.   I quickly lose my affection for the game if I dont like the design sound and graphics tbh, I will likely look for another one.
Yes, noise will certainly disturb concentration but it is different from the sound of music, which of course makes players feel relaxed which makes them comfortable in the game. But for me it's not too important either because I prefer silent mode if I don't use headphones and yes, the main factor that can certainly hook many people is the easy game with eye-catching graphics and of course about the bonuses provided.

Even if I was hoping to see Messi playing at a different club from now on, I was surprised by this news also. Because there have been many speculations that he would accept a 50% pay cut and sign a new deal with Barcelona again. But it's the opposite we are seeing now. I hope that Messi makes his decision well and goes to a club which would be really the right place to win titles.
This news is really surprising to me as well.It was rumoured he wants to leave Barcelona to another club earlier in the transfer window,but after a while we never saw that coming through,still very shocking we are hearing this now.If he moves to a team like Mancity,it will really be good for him.
Well, if it is confirmed that Messi will move, then of course the big clubs in Europe will be willing to change their main squad to bring Messi, right? How not, Messi is still very charming on the field so this struggle will probably happen between City and PSG who still have issues bringing Ronaldo to PSG and Kane to City, if Messi is willing to move then these two teams could turn a corner to get Messi, of course. will leave Barcelona. It will be interesting and I will just wait for further news, and wonder which team Messi will choose in the future because I am sure some other big clubs like Juventus, Chelsea etc will be interested in getting Messi.
8919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being unpredictable on: August 05, 2021, 02:36:50 PM
I think this is all about not playing a particular parttern of game continuously and repeatedly.Whike gambling,one needs to try so many methods of playing to try if you can get a win.Even after winning,one needs to switch playing style again to remain unpredictable.
keeping the style of the game so that it is not easy to predict is actually enough
but that's what a player should do when playing gambling at the table (offline or online)

we here often play cards with light bets and learn from each other's playing styles
players who don't have the ability to change their style and are easy to predict are often the first to lose


I think it's not always like that, because sometimes when you apply the same method after winning the results are still profitable too. There will be times when we have to change the style of play but I believe, to change it does not have to be right after winning or losing because the change can be made after we have lost or won several times.

I am sure most of you have played videogames of one short or another and many have noticed that may offer gambling in-game options - I am thinking mostly of Role Games and MMPORGs -  like implementing a casino or some short of fortune game. As an old example, Fallout New Vegas has an in-built game called Caravans, but you can play blackjack, roulette, etc... Newer games that are free to play or cheap to play offer lotteries that award prices such as unique or rare in-game items...

There is currently quite an effort on using these techniques in games that should not be about gambling or chances playing and some people may find undesirable. Is this going too far? What type of effect may this game on underaged players?

As far as I can remember, lottery or even gambling elements appeared in some games. However, I never put too much emphasis on it when I played games. As for whether such elements should appear at all, in my opinion NOT. Children's minds are much more susceptible to addiction and, above all, completely unaware of the dangers. In my opinion, the elements of gambling should not appear at all in games intended for young users.
Yes, after all, they will only be interested or only pay attention in terms of interesting graphics, so any game provided in the videogame is at least just a part of the story in the game itself which will not really harm the player. In the end at least they are just addicted to the videogame itself over time and not about gambling addiction so yeah, as long as the game only provides free play without involving real money then I guess it won't be dangerous.
