I was once an addicted gambler but today am no more as I gamble responsibly. How I was able to overcome my addiction was that I quitted gambling for a long period of time,and this made be not to see and understand that gambling is not a means of making profit but for entertainment.
What I do presently,before I went back to gambling was to come up how I can gamble responsibly. I do set out a weekly gambling budget for my gambling activities so that when I exhaust the money,I stop gambling the the next week. Another thing is that I also have a time set aside for gambling so that when my time is up,I stop gambling even though,I am winning or at loss. See gambling as fun and only use money that you can avoid to loss to gamble.
One thing I know about gambling is that there is a spirit controlling it,and it is that spirit that makes it difficult for gamblers to leave when they are losing,and greed makes them still continue playing when they are winning.If people were able to go when they've won,or when they lose,then people woundnt have had emotional trauma.The only people who can gamble responsibly are those people who don't aim at gaining too much from gambling,they gamble just to catch fun because they don't want to be addicted to it. I have set budget for gambling several times and I will still violate it because of the spirit attached to it,ones you've started,you will find it very difficult to stop it. |

Last week I commented that it wouldn't take long to fire Sevilla's coach if results didn't improve and today I see this news:  𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Quique Setién, 1st head coach in top leagues to be fired this season Villarreal announce they part ways with Setién after three defeats, one win in the first four games The strangest thing about this is that last season Sevilla was losing a lot to the point of reaching the relegation zone, so because of the bad results the club's management decided to fire the coach and in his place they hired the current coach who ended up being fired , it was this current coach who is being fired who took Sevilla out of relegation and also won the European league last season, but now this season Sevilla have not won in the 3 games they played in the league and are in the last place in the table, really, when you look at the table you realize that they are in a serious situation, but the league is starting It's true that Sevilla played 3 games against very weak teams and still lost, when they should have at least won 2 games and got 1 draw, that is, in those 3 games the normal thing would have been for Sevilla to have managed to get at least 7 points, but So who is to blame for Sevilla's poor results? We need to go back a little to last season, Sevilla was weak last season, although with the new coach they managed to get some good results in the league, but the problem is that in this transfer window Sevilla didn't make any big signings for the attack, so according to the https://www.transfermarkt.pt/sevilha-fc/transferrekorde/verein/368/saison_id/2023 I'm not seeing any signing of strikers or even any mid-level strikers. which shows that the squad was not properly improved while the squad of Sevilla's other opponents in the league were improving their squads and this meant that Sevilla became the weak team and the other teams became strong, so even if the current coach uses the same strategy as last season, things are not going well. Now I wonder: with the transfer market almost closing, what will the new coach do? He will have to use the same squad, I wonder why the Sevilla management didn't make the decision to fire the coach sooner? Well, we'll see who the next coach will be This Sevilla side are also suffering from what Chelsea are suffering because the same person they spoke good about yesterday,is thesame person they are speaking bad about today.He helped them from the relegation zone last season and they all said he was a good coach,this season,they haven't even played upto six matches,but they've sacked him,who knows whether the man wanted to change things,and before a process can be mastered,it would definitely take time.They needed to give this man time to master his process and game plan,quick action would only result in them Highering another bad coach.They needed to be patient with him,and see after ten games,if he is unable to deliver,then they could consider him a bad coach.So I think they were too quick to pass judgements on him. |

Newcastle have really disappointed with their games, especially the game against Brighton... I'm not surprised they lost the games against Liverpool and Man City because they were really tough matches... Now they can't lose in the next ones and lose points...
Newcastle start to this season was very bad, their performance was very different from last season. After appearing ferocious in the opening match of the season by beating Aston Villa with a final score of 5-1, Newcastle seemed to have lost their enthusiasm to play in the next match. The defeats of Manchester City and Liverpool might be used as an excuse that the opponents they faced were strong teams, but the defeat to Brighton was truly unexpected, especially since Brighton managed to score their goal three times. Three consecutive defeats is not a good achievement for Newcastle, they must immediately improve their performance to rise from their slump. A team like Newcastle should be able to provide new challenges in the Premier League, they have sufficient funds to bring in quality players, but their movement in the transfer market looks so relaxed. Newcastle are a very good side with good players,but their performances this season has been questioned because of the way they played last season.They had an aggressive parttern that made other teams scared of them and that made them seem to be winning games,but this season is different,because most of the EPL teams have mastered the way they play,and ready to play aggressively with them.I remembered last season when they faced a strong Arsenal side,they were able to defeat Arsenal because of the aggressive way in which they played,but in the second leg when Arsenal used that same pattern to play them,they lose to the gunners. |

Both of Rashford and Bruno are have a high ego, that's why Hojlund were rarely got the ball, Ten Hag must taking a solid movement to bench Rashford and Bruno if they're still selfish. I'd want to see Mount replacing Bruno and Garnacho replacing Rashford, we will see how good is Hojlund because Mount, Garnacho and Antony aren't selfish.
I see Manchester United isn't good in this season, Sancho is high likely will leave too.
Rashford is a very important player in ten Hag's team, he will definitely play with the starting lineup, which is why it is so important for Hojlund to learn how to play with Rashford now. Don't forget that maybe he just needs more time to adapt, he is still very young and he had to miss training with the team for a while due to injury, give him more time, he's been on the field for just over 30 minutes and you want him to be scoring goals already. ) Rashford is a very important footballer of Manchester United. Manchester United rely on this young footballer in most of the matches. Manchester United managed only one goal against Arsenal in their last match and that one was scored by Rashford. Rashford is a very young footballer at the moment so Manchester United may not be getting the maximum performance from him at the moment but with age, there will definitely be a lot of changes in the performance of this star. Injuries are a big problem for him at the moment as the footballer has missed several training sessions due to injuries and has been irregular in the training camp. The sooner he can protect himself from injury, the brighter his career will be. Before the game started,I knew Rashford was going to score against Arsenal because it has now seem like a record,that he is always scoring against them anytime they meet.And for Arsenal goalie,Aaron Ramsdale,Rashford has been that player that always find the back of the net anytime he is in the post.There was once in this season's transfer window when rumours came that Rashford would be sold,but I heard the rumour and didn't believe it because he is the most important prospect at Manchester United at the moment,and they can't afford to lose him for just like that. He is one player that scores important goals for them,and has shown that in so many matches. |

It was Felix's dream to play for Barcelona so I'm curious about his performance there. If he manages to impress them maybe Barcelona can use their funds to sign him permanently next summer.
Felix is a really talented soccer player. But he didn't perform as expected at Atletico Madrid. Then he spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea, but he didn't perform as expected there either. Now he will play football on loan at Barcelona. I think he seems to be running out of credits. If he doesn't have a successful performance in Barcelona, his market value will drop. And the big teams won't make an effort to sign him. I think he has to use this chance well. Joao Felix is going to have a good loan spell at Barcelona because there are so many players who can bring out the best in him in that team,the like of Gundogan,and Raphinha and other talented stars are there to play good football with him, unlike when he was at a struggling Chelsea team where his effort Werent seen. As you said,this might be his last chance for him to show his worth,because if he doesn't,his chances of returning to his club and be in the starting line up will be slim,infact they might decide to sell him to a smaller team that will not even be playing in the champions league,and a player of his calibre will be eager to showcase his talent in the champions league. |

Ancelotti will overhaul his formation in the second half, possession is still on Madrid side. I am optimistic that Madrid can turn things around, so they can secure three points at home. I predict Bellingham will save Madrid with his goal, Kross has the potential to come in to replace Tchouameni.
There is still one more round for Ancelotti squad to prove its quality, Getafe will not be able to survive. Getafe played first half good but it looks like Ancelotti made a great pep talk. Real Madrid started second half pretty fast and go for a result. There are too many positions to be reviewed, VAR did an extra work today, that was interesting. The game looks like Getafe can't resist anymore and Real Madrid will find the winning goal. I expect over 3.5 goals now. The score is 1-1 and we will see at least two more goals. Another side note is that Joselu scored his first goal in Real Madrid jersey after 12 years.  Real Madrid will do everything possible to ensure they win this game,they've been able to get an equaliser after being down to a goal,but they still need to get their backline is solid enough to stand any counter attack by Getafe because that is what they are waiting for,they know very well they can't stand their attacking force,so all they need do is to sit back and wait for a possible counter. Nevertheless,with the way Madrid are pressuring them,I think they might still grab a late goal to get the win. Games are becoming hard for big teams to win this season despite the fact the odds given to them are very little,they still find it difficult to win with those odds. |

I guess Chelsea will surely win this game with 2:0 in the second half because, they lead the game in the first half in the area of ball possession despite Nottingham forest are trying to block them not to have chance to enter their goalpost. If Chelsea can add more effort in the second half, I think they will get a good chance to score 2 goals to end the game in the second half because, they really show some interest to lead the game with 2 goals but they missed used the opportunity. There is no way this game will end up draw 0:0 because, the two teams are playing well but Chelsea are still on a high hill to challenge their opponent in the remaining 45 minutes to achieve the victory.
Manchester city will surely drop a points in this game because, Fulham want to let people know that they want to challenge premier league title in this season by using this opportunity to be the first team to beat Manchester city 2:1. The game ended up draw 1:1 in the first half, and I believe the Fulham still have enough strength to dominate in the second half to end the game 2:1 for the favour of Fulham.
It's about 62 minutes of the game between Chelsea and Northingham Forest,and the visitors are leading by 0:1 in a game that people predicted Chelsea will win convincingly.Chelses have just made some changes bringing in their new signing cole parmer to ensure they atleast take a point from this game.The former City star is looking so sharp and aggressive in his debut,but I doubt if Chelsea will be able to win this game again,the highest they can get is a draw,because at the moment, Northingham Forest are pressurising them to extend their lead.The Chelsea players don't look organised,and if they don't take time to defend well,the game might just end in 2:0 in favour or the visitors. |

It depends on each gambler because there must be gamblers who can have good self-control. He can be a responsible gambler by gambling moderately, not being triggered by greed, and being able to keep his emotions from escalating. Gambling can turn a previously calm person into someone greedy and wants more wins. It has happened to many people who gamble because they lose control of themselves while gambling. It is with self-control that we can prevent gambling addiction, and the most important thing is to avoid it.
Many people that seem calm on the outside and that seem to have everything under control can easily lose themselves when gambling as they have never tested the boundaries of their self-control, so it is easy for them to sell this image of being a responsible person when in fact they are very weak, and at the first opportunity they will lose control of themselves and gamble like the worst gambling addicts, and when this happens even they will be surprised about it as they were capable of even deceiving themselves with this facade. One thing that is hard to control is your emotions, especially when it has to do with gambling,not everybody has the ability to be a stoic in situations like this,some persons loose their minds after finding out the game they just invested heavily in has been lost.Even the wealthiest person will be affected by a heavy lost,because everyone has a purpose why he or she is gambling,it is either because he has financial problems or he wants to elevate his wealth. Holding ones emotions or acting responsibly while loosing shows how that person is strong emotionally because it isn't everybody that posseses this characteristics,a person like this can keep his gambling life on the low without his family members noticing that he is into gambling. |

All gamblers have different ways they behave when they win or lose games,it takes maturity to behave reasonably and matured when you lose a game you were expecting you would win.Games lost can turn one into a semi mad man because you can be soliloquizing without thinking what people will think about you,all that will matter to you at that time is the game you've lost.Each human being have their own ways of reacting to games lost or won.Some persons can lose games without showing any emotions towards it,while some persons may find it difficult to hold their emotions,and most atimes people who do this are the ones that have gotten addicted to Gambling,and are waiting for winnings which are not coming easily.

It seems Bayern are satisfied with the little piece of business they've done this season after signing Kane in a club record deal worth about 100 million pounds.It seems an attacker was the only piece of business that was remaining for them to do before they can see their team being ready for the season because I expected them to make one or two more signings before deadline day,but nothing was done again,that is to say they have a good and complete squad that can compete for any tittle.
With what they have so far,I know they can challenge for the Champions league this season if their main attacker does not get injured.He is the perfect replacement to Lewandowski who left the team two seasons ago to join Barcelona.They are one of the teams to keep an eye on in this season's champions league.

Cadiz is doing very well at home this time around but there is still a chance for Villarreal to equalize in the second half because for now it's half time and I'm not going to bet on this game because it's a bit difficult to predict when these two clubs have almost the same performance, it's just that Cadiz has a bigger chance because of the enthusiasm of the fans who give confidence in Cadiz appearance at his own cage.
Even though I don't bet on this match, I hope Cadiz has to consistently strengthen its defense even more in the second half to maintain its score to be able to win this match and get another 3 points. But as I write this, it a shame that Alfonso Pedraza got a red card and Villarreal have to play with only 10 players and this will be very bad and it clear that Cadiz will win this match.
I considered Villarreal as the favorite in today's match. Because Villarreal played very well against Barcelona. The team was able to score three goals. However, Villarreal lost the match. However, their overall gameplay was good. But I was very disappointed with Villarreal's performance against Cadiz today. Although Villarreal scored the first goal of the match, the match was equalized in just 8 minutes. And Villarreal's defense was further weakened after defender Pedraza was red-carded in the 22nd minute. And this opportunity was used very well by the players of Cadiz. Cadiz played a full attacking strategy in today's match. and scored three goals. I don't see Villarreal getting any points in this match after trailing 3-1. Teams that were supposed to do well this season are gradually making their chances of qualifying for the champions league next season become slim, immagine a team like Villareal that I thought would easily defeat Cadiz without stress lost in an embarassing way.And despite the card,the way they were playing wasn't giving me joy atall,it was a match they were supposed to win with ease but they went on to lose. The Lalliga this season is not really going the way we thought,games are very hard to predict,as we see small teams flogging big teams and also making them beg for draw.If Villareal could not try and win their next game,they will really find it difficult to climb the table this season. |

Bayern munich might be my choice to win Group A because they have everything to beat their opponents. Moreover, Harry Kane has become their goal machine this season, so there is no big doubt for Bayern Munich to win the Group.
Manchester United can to our surprise finish in that group in the first position, they have successfully been able to add some quality and very experienced players to the team just before the transfer window closed. A Player like Amrabat is a good fix for Manchester United midfield problems that has shown this season, and he can make all the difference for Manchester United in big games as we saw him do for Morocco in the world cup. Against Bayern Munich and other teams in the group, Amrabat can be a defensive block for Manchester United in their midfield. I don't see Manchester United struggling to qualify from their group because the teams in that group are teams that Manchester United could easily beat, except they aren't ready for the season.Ten Hag knows quite well that with the champions league approaching,he needs more squad depth to be able to compete for the Tittle,and that is why he went into the transfer window to make some late signings that he thinks are capable of making them tittle contenders for the league.If it is true that he was able to secure the signature of Amrabat,then I can say that they wouldnt have any problem defensively judging from the players ability to cover at the back. I already chose Manchester United and Bayern to be able to qualify from that group,because apart from Bayern,Galatasary and Copenhagen shouldn't be able to stop them. |

The transfer market is quite busy ahead of the transfer close this season. Some teams recruited and gave us many surprises, such as Barcelona who succeeded in recruiting Joao Felix and also Manchester City who succeeded in recruiting Matheus Nunes. Fabrizio even tweeted quite a lot of transfers today before the transfer window closed.
I think Barcelona is quite lucky in the remaining time of the transfer window because they were able to recruit two new players, namely Cancelo and Joao Felix, so these two signings are quite significant for their additional strength this season. Joao Felix has succeeded in achieving his dream of joining Barcelona and we hope he can be successful with Barcelona both in LaLiga and the Champions League.
Barcelona have really made signings that would help them in the season,Joao Felix and Cancelo are two players that can help Barcelona not only secure the Lalliga tittle,but also help them push through the Champions league group stage,or better still help them win the champions league Tittle.It would be a dream come through for Joe Felix to move to one of the best teams in the world.I thought Chelsea's were going to come back to sign him permanently in the season's transfer window,but Barca were so fast to move for the player whom they rated so high,to help them achieve the things they are finding it difficult to achieve.These two additions will really boost Xavi's squad and give them the moral to challenge every team in the Lalliga for silverware this season. |

They can get 3 points back in this match
West Ham got 3 valuable points away at Luton, and they also got neccesary kudos and praises as well because David Moyes has wisely re invested the Declan Rice funds into the squad and its taking shape already, Ward Prowse had an excellent game; while Alvarez is settling fine in the pivot. There is Ings to understudy for Antonio, Alvarez for Soucek, Kudus for Bowen. good good options for Moyes, as West Ham pushes for a top 4 berth this new season. Arsenal and other EPL teams were interested in kudus,but the player chose to go to a team he will be seeing playing time because at Arsenal,he won't be able to bench saka or Odegard,that is why he opted to sign for WestHam where he can be known and cherished for his contribution for the team. WestHam is team that has been doing incredibily well since the start of the season,and wit the latest addition to the squad,they can go on to surprise people this season by getting the the desired result and probably qualifying for Europa league to be presiced. Lets all wait to see how the season will end before fully assessing their performance to know their capabilities. |

Same. Complaints about their losses. But I do try to not answer them whenever they rant in the chatbox. It's their method of taking out all the anger from losing so much in either casino games or sports betting. If ranting helps, who are we to stop them from making a little noise? It's not like it's going to affect our lives, our bets, or our luck. I just let them be although there are gamblers who rant too long and won't stop saying the same thing over and over again for an hour or two. That's a big eyesore for me. One or two rants should be fine, just letting the bad emotions out and maybe it could make them feel better but doing it nonstop is like a child asking for his money back after he ate his candy.  One thing I know about the game is that if there is no noise,the game is not interesting,noise and gamble is like five and six, especially when you are in a casino hall.I personally don't have a problem when gamblers makes alot of noise, especially when they lose,they seem to complain and nag over the lost games,and when they win,same as the excitement and noise all over the place,it all but makes the game looks more interesting and attractive because it can make you laugh and make you cry at thesame time.The only thing that can annoy me is when they either steal or spoil things when they loose. The reason why some gamblers behave ackward is when they find out that they are ready frustrated from this gambling addiction,it makes them behave in a way that one may think they are insane. |

Ansu Fati is on the verge of finalising a move to Briton in a loan deal deal.Tonight is transfer deadline,and we are expecting lots of deals to happen before tomorrow morning.Ansu Fati is a very good player that can play at right wing.Briton are in a good form,althought they lost to WestHam in a 3:1 defeat.Briton don't seem to be weak even after they lost Caicedo and Mark Alister to Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.The transfer window is almost over,and the teams that needs to get their business done have already acquired whom they wanted,and whom they believe can add to quality to their teams.Ansu Fati is a nice addition to their squad.And I hope he does his best.

Everybody have their own reason why they gamble,some gamble when they are not on funds,while some gamble just to increase their finance.Some persons also gamble because they have turned addicts,and just can't do without gambling,but I gamble to make more money,I gamble when I need money and when I want to increase my finance.All gambling activities is done specifically on purpose,I am a football lover,and I gamble only on football because it is my favourite sports.Everybody is entitled to their view on gambling,and I have just stated why I gamble.
I just believe that we are all pursuing thesame goal and target which is to make money.

We are starting the week with a Luton - West Ham game. West Ham are seeming interestingly good this season. They are one of the teams with making the best start in the league now. This is a big improvement for a team that were quite close to the relegation zone in the previous season. They still won the Conference League title of course but you know what I mean. This game is a great opportunity to maintain the current winning streak. Luton are really weak now as we have seen in both of their games so far. While West Ham are in wonderful form by beating teams like Brighton and Chelsea I expect another win here. Their odds are 1.75 by the way which is very tempting. This is a sure win for West Ham as they continue their good form this season.They have flogged two big teams in Chelsea and Briton,but despite a nice squad,they have still added a nother good player in Mohammed Kudus who joined from Ajax.WestHam have really surprised so many persons this season including me because I never thought they could be so strong,and with the addition of Kudus,they will definitely be more stronger than the way they are now. I can say that the premier league this season is even going to be more competitive than last season,and WestHam can just be that team that will play like the way Newcastle played last season.I will include them in my game this weekend,and a straight win is what I give them. |

Nuno Taverns have completed a loan move to Northingham Forest.Arsenal were looking forward to trumming their squad as they brought back some of their loaned players to be part of the team this season.Arsenal already have several players that can play at left back where Nuno was playing,ad as such,he was Arsenal's fourth choice,falling behind Zinchenko,Kiwior,and Tomiyasu.It was the best thing for him to leave Arsenal and go out to seek first team Football that is why Arsenal included an obligation to buy in the deal.
Nuno is a very good player going forward and his addition to the forest squad is a big boost to them.

However, we are not seeing a better performance from Haaland this season. De Bruyne is also injured. Silva also missed several matches due to injury. I think Manchester City's performance will be stronger if De Bruyne returns to the squad. Haaland's chemistry with De Bruyne is also excellent. So it is expected that if De Bruyne returns to the squad, Haaland's performance will improve even more.
Any striker in the world would definitely love to have KDB in their team, the chances of scoring goals will be higher because KDB is one of the most creative footballers in the world, but i don't agree with you when you say Haaland isn't performing well this season, i mean, he has scored three goals in three games; that's definitely a very good start. Mind you that it would almost be impossible for Haaland to replicate his form of last season, thus it might be unfair if people continually judge him based on his performance last season, as long as he is scoring goals and helping the team to win, that's all that matters. people think that since Haaland was able to reach 30 goals and last season,that he will be able to even surpass that tally this season,but it is a No,because England is one place I know they don't let a striker score goals the way they deem it fit.Haaland is still scoring goals,and three goals in three appearances is not a bad stats, people seem to talk because at three games last season,he was in six goals, but they fail to understand that he can't get the number of goals he got last season because the defenders are all out for him now.And for KDB,he is going to be out for a while due to injury,therefore Haaland cant get the numbers of goals he is supposed to get.But because City is a strong side,they still don't feel the absent of KDB |
