921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 08, 2024, 04:50:05 AM
I think it should also be said that the match was played in Madrid. It will be a match where Real Madrid will be aware of its importance. I'm sure they are already starting to prepare to win against Girona. Even though Girona seems to be unluckier in terms of squad quality, they got good enough scores to prove everyone wrong this year. A new one might happen against Real Madrid.
This is a very good opportunity for Real Madrid to win the match against Girona at home, so they can maintain points and stay away from Girona at the top of the standings. Real Madrid will definitely dominate this match and play very aggressively in attack, not only that, I'm sure pressure after pressure will definitely occur in Girona's back line. However, Real Madrid must also remain careful and always be alert when Girona counterattacks to put pressure on Real Madrid's goal, because Girona's forward players are very dangerous in the attacks they carry out. So let's just wait next week for how the match goes and who will win this match to occupy the top position in the standings, this match will definitely be exciting and fierce to watch.
Real madrid will still win and Girona will not be able to make any comeback in the match because the home match makes it easier for Real madrid to beat Girona and will not give any chance to Girona and I believe this is the right time for Real madrid to end the competition with a difference which a little far away and provides a little comfort for Real Madrid to continue to strategize in the next match.
Vinicius will probably miss the match and will rely on Rodrygo, Bellingham and Joselu, three very strong players in the attack line who can put pressure on Girona defense and if Girona wants to try to continue the competition they must at least be able to hold the match to a draw but I think it will be a job which is difficult for Girona.

in this match will not hesitate to bet on Real Madrid winning.
but what I'm worried about right now is that Real Madrid, after playing against Girona, has to compete in the UCL and this will put a little pressure on Ancelotti who has to rotate players wisely to maintain the quality of performance.

Beside has Inter Milan vs AS Roma as interested match in this weekend but I think the same high compete for other match between Milan vs Napoli, both teams have winning trend last match Napoli want keep secure three points to get Champion League spot place for next season. Between Milan and Napoli actually both team has inconsistency performance last several matches, more losing points with draw result and Napoli has difficult position for securing top fourth standings place than AC Milan has 4 points left from Juventus on 2nd place.

Interested odd around @1.95 because Milan will play as home match, they have supported from their fans and good result with home match in this season seems large potential Milan for winning the match against Napoli.
regarding the Milan vs Napoli match, looking at the current condition of the two teams, Milan is far superior to Napoli.
we can see from the last performance of these two teams that Napoli is certainly very far below Milan who managed to get 4 matches while Napoli was only able to get 2 wins and on the one hand Osimhen as a player who Napoli really relies on has experienced a decline in performance since the start of last season while Milan has improved performance from Luka Jovic and Giroud who can be relied on in this match.
from the statement above it is clear how different the two teams are, although I don't give any guarantees, I'm just saying about the fact that Napoli has experienced a decline in performance since having problems with Osimhen at that time, even when Osimhen was defending his country, he didn't have his best performance.

I haven't checked the comparison of the odds between the two, but looking at what you said, Milan has odds @1.95 as the favorite the bookmaker and these odds seem to be quite big and I might choose to bet on Milan win.

Even being on top of the league, Bayern Leverkusen will be feeling all the pressure because it's better to chase someone at the top of the table than being chase because only the pressure and demand to be consistent can make you flop so I think Bayern Leverkusen will have to be at their very best if they do want to actually salvage this season bundesLiga title and believe me it would be nice to see Another team win this other than the normal winners of the league and I just hope Leverkusen doesn't fall to the pressure like the Dortmund did at the last minute of the season last year.

The match between these two teams is like they are just playing for the team to be in the first position. The point gap between them is very close that the result of this match won’t make much difference or ascertain the team that will win the league title. Each of them needs to play to their best after their head-to-head matches until the end of the season, only then we can tell the team that is ready to win this league title. This match will only test their strength against each other but it won’t make it be the decider on who will win the league title. Both teams are great and the result of this match cannot be easily decided.
maybe this is the reason why Bayern Munich doesn't want to be too ambitious in chasing the top of the standings but prefers to always be close to the points that Leverkusen has because if they are at the top of the standings they get pressure from the teams below them with very close point difference, they will definitely get pressure and certainly trying to work hard to stay at the top of standings without realizing that hard work will ultimately make the players physically tired and towards the end of season the players become unfocused and run out of energy to maintain their position and perhaps this has become part of Bayern Munich strategy to Leverkusen is approaching points but will not shift them because Tuchel knows that he at the top of the standings but if that is not safe, it would be better to shift the top of the standings towards the end of the season so that opponents who are below him are unable to catch up.

Tuchel has been helping Munich win the title in the bundesliga for a long time so he knows what strategy to use to get the title at the end of the season and on the one hand, no matter how strong a team is, it will definitely lose several times, but it's just that Leverkusen doesn't have time to lose and usually they will only be defeated bottom teams.

The main action we need to take if we find behavior like this is to reprimand it and give punishment as parents should educate their children in their own way, if left alone and there is no action at all, incidents like this will continue to happen again.  Even though some people think that gambling is not a negative thing, if you find a child's behavior like this, it shows that his behavior shows two negative behaviors, namely stealing and gambling.
carrying out 2 behaviors that are beyond the limits of a minor seems to be behavior that should be punished to provide physical education for the child.
there's nothing wrong with scolding and punishing our children in slightly harsh way, such as not giving them permission to hold a phone and being locked up in their room and not given daily money.
In this way, our children will definitely feel that it a very severe punishment and we as parents will be more comfortable giving punishment like that rather than physical punishment which can disturb our children mental health.
maybe if the child just tries to gamble maybe we will find it a little easier to provide educational lessons about the dangers gambling but making an attempt to steal can have an impact on the habit of stealing if you don't have money and if you dont give a punishment, a child definitely feels that he not given a punishment such as allowing him to steal.

but we still have to monitor our children behavior, even though they have promised not to repeat the same actions, but as parents we must still be responsible for preventing our children from gambling as long as they can't earn their own money, its better to always supervise them and not if necessary allowed to hold a phone.
925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: February 07, 2024, 06:06:47 PM
Yes, if you frequented land base casinos, specially those old ones, there are a lot of things that you can pawn, specially cars, very fast assets to make money and then gamble. Unfortunately, many of them were not able to redeem it so the pawnshop or the financer is the real winner here and gamblers getting worst as he needs to find ways to make money to continue.

And another is jewelry or I even see some papers also being pawn by big financier. So everything goes in the offline casinos, and you can't really double cross this people are they are part of a bigger group of financiers, underground world that you don't want to messed around and try to trick them. It will be bad for you.
until now, there are land based casinos that provide pay later gambling facilities but still use a guarantee and usually those who are provided with such facilities are only gamblers who often come to the casino.
there are several land based casinos that do not have to provide a guarantee when they want to bet to pay later, but on condition that the gambler has a permanent job that is known to the casino staff so that the gambler must pay when the salary from the job has been given.
if the gambler tries to run without paying he will definitely lose his job because the casino staff will charge the company where he works.

actually, the casino is not wrong in this position because the casino only provides special facilities for its old customers and here they are mutually beneficial, the gamblers get money to gamble and the casino gets a profit from the money they use to gamble.
however, all control is still up to each of us, even though there are casinos that provide such facilities, it is better not to be tempted and continue to gamble using your own budget.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 07, 2024, 04:08:06 PM
After I saw the premier league table and the points and standing of each team, I just believe that this premier league is still going to go to the hands of Manchester City. With the outstanding match at hand for them now, I feel very confident that they’re going to win that match and top the premier league table.

I wonder how people still doubt Pep's Manchester City. When Manchester City were dropping points almost every match week everybody thought they were done. That team doesn't give up, they don't stop. As I have always said, they get better as the season progresses.
They have been without key players at different points in the season, but now that they need all 3 points out of every game all their key players are available. Halland, De Bruyne, and Rodri are all available.

Man City is going to win this premier league and make it 4 consecutive wins, something that has never happened, not even in the peak of Alex Ferguson with Man United.
Even if they don't win their outstanding match, I strongly believe that they'll still win the league because the other title contenders, Liverpool and Arsenal will still drop points.
I know the league is still wide open, but no matter how open it is, Manchester City will end up at the top.
reason some people doubt Man City performance is only because of the decline in performance and they only judge it from one side without looking at the positive side.
now we are discussing that Man City will soon have Haaland back and now KDB is back and contributing as before the injury and Haaland return will be a big problem for other teams because Man City biggest strength is in these two players because of the solid cooperation between Haaland and KDB is always feared by other teams.
people will only continue to doubt Guardiola team just because they follow the hype of the leader while when previously Man City was at the top of the standings most people gave praise but when Spurs managed to reach the top of the standings Spurs were given praise then Arsenal etc.
so whoever team is at the top of the standings will always be praised and doubted by other teams and you don't need to be surprised by a statement like this if you have confidence in Man City.
I myself have never had doubts about Man City because it has been proven that since KDB arrival there have been very visible changes and now Haaland will soon return to bring huge improvements.

let's see, people who doubt Man City performance will regret it after seeing Man City regain control of the top of the standings at the end of this season.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 07, 2024, 03:47:07 PM

Share your opinion about this two mistakes with your experience.
two mistakes you mentioned are very common and if we talk about new gamblers, they are very normal, in fact we have all felt it in the past when gambling for the first time when we win, of course our self confidence turns into huge ambition and we will ignore everything risk.
on the one hand, new gamblers usually don't really understand how gambling works and what risks will occur and what needs to be paid attention to and avoided, but beginner gamblers will only think that gambling can make money.

with this wrong assumption, a beginner gambler will continue to ignore the risks he or she will get in the long term and if he doesn't have good self awareness he will definitely end up losing money in a row even though he has previously had big wins, but if a gambler is greedy his luck will definitely change a loss that can make a gambler emotional and continue to chase his losses.
mistakes like this will be ignored by both novice gamblers and old gamblers when they lose self control and this is why it is always said that self control is very important.
928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? on: February 07, 2024, 02:21:49 PM
Those who look at themselves and then hate them should be able to realize that it is too late because they have already experienced loss in gambling. They cannot see what impact they will get after they finish gambling, so they can only see this after they finish gambling. If they are obsessed with chasing wins, they will not be able to see how much they have lost but will only focus on their efforts to win the gambling game. If we realize that we have hated ourselves for losing self-control, we must try to prevent that from happening again by always trying to exercise self-control because that is the only thing that can help us prevent many losses. But we must not hate ourselves no matter what mistakes we have made, and we can only try to correct those mistakes so they don't happen again.
mistakes are valuable lessons that don't need to be regretted or even blamed yourself, it's not necessary.
with mistakes we have a very good experience to become a better self and if there is a gambler who hates himself because of a previous mistake which made him lose all his money I think it is not necessary and instead it should be used for learning and take something positive not to repeat it in the future.
every gambler here, I'm sure they all had bad experiences in the past, making them feel very guilty for making that mistake, but I'm sure that after making a mistake in gambling, they become very careful when betting and always remember their mistakes in the past so they don't repeat it again.
but if some of them still repeat the same mistakes, I'm sure they are not ordinary gamblers but excessive gamblers or gambling addicts who ignore everything related to the risks they will get.

there is no point in regretting the mistakes we made because we gambled because of our own choice and when something happens we should be able to accept the risk.
929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: February 07, 2024, 01:19:26 PM
I don't see the need to show off in the first place. I don't actually know why people do that because my definition of wealth is that it should be used to help humanity and not oppress them. Flaunting one's wealth is actually oppressive and I do not subscribe to that in any way whatsoever.

Looking at it from another perspective, how you go about with the publicity of your winning depends on your safety. If you are from a neighborhood where disclosing your finances will pose a security threat to you, then there will be no need letting anyone know you have a winning. On the other hand, if such publicity does not generate any form of security threat, then there shouldn't be any problem with sharing with friends and associates. However, in my own case, I love my privacy so all information about my gambling stays with me.
I fully support your opinion. In fact, showing off or sharing experiences with other people has a bad impact if we are not right in terms of sharing winning experiences from gambling because even though we are in a safe environment without any threats, it still won't be safe because if we tell stories to others friends about big wins, the most common impact that often occurs and I often say is that a friend will approach us and borrow money from us, even some people will definitely know about this because sometimes a friend will reveal the winnings that we get.
It's not a threat, but it will have an impact on friendships when he knows you have a lot of money, but when he borrows money from you and refuses, friendships will definitely be destroyed.

there's nothing wrong with sharing our experiences, but it would be better to maintain financial privacy from anyone because money can threaten us from any bad impacts.
930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This was my highest risk. on: February 07, 2024, 12:10:10 PM
I have never taken risks like you, buying other people's bets because I prefer bets that I predict myself, even though I don't always win, but I am a little skeptical about predictions given by other people.
but talking about big odds like the ones you got, for me I would be very happy if I could get a big win like that, but for me the happiness wouldn't be very satisfying if it wasn't from the results of my own predictions and in the past I've also gotten big odds, it's just that I still feel the satisfaction that I have today and I still remember it as an extraordinary experience.

unfortunately I couldn't repeat this luck even though I tried several times but the results were very bad and decided to choose to bet on a parlay bet by only selecting 5 matches.
but I congratulate you on your luck after buying your friend betting slip and being lucky to get satisfactory results.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 07, 2024, 10:59:08 AM
All gamblers can get any amount of winnings if they are really lucky but on the other hand the problem is like you said that not all gamblers can get the real winnings, I mean when you get a big win but on the other hand you can't cash it in because you see something more tantalizing like a much bigger win so it makes you put all your money into gambling again which is basically the big win that you always think is nothing more than a "chance" or I mean it is still uncertain and means that it cannot be denied that it is a possibility that can happen in the end you lose all the money from the previous win.

This is the danger when you apply greed to something that is uncertain, basically this is a situation that is always experienced by addicts, which when they win they will be more greedy and when they lose they will be more curious / So in this situation you really won't get anything better, because even if you manage to get a win but not necessarily you can cash it in because of the greed that is difficult to ignore.

Yeah that emotion also happens to me sometimes and basically, these feelings sum up when I win big after doing all in a gamble. So when I do all in and turns out it win I just want to do all in again and win again but sometimes you can face it big lose after win big and not withdrawing the money.

So to defeat the emotion after win Big I just withdraw the money. 
emotional, greedy, overconfident are common traits that often dominate a gambler's mind and take over his mind and lose control to continue betting with the assumption that he will win big again.
anyone will experience the same thing when a gambler gets a big win it is very rare for a gambler to get a big win and then stop and withdraw his money, that is very rare and usually they will definitely keep betting at least 3 to 4 times to see if there is a lucky streak.

It's hard to stop when you win, but if you can do it I think you have very disciplined principles and usually have limits in betting so that you firmly decide to stop betting when you win and leave gambling for a moment to enjoy the winnings.
this is fun gambling that should be used happily and when we win we should stop and enjoy the winnings and come back again after we have more money.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 07, 2024, 10:42:24 AM
That is due to their previous winnings making them too proud to try another game and it turns out they are not lucky at that time. However, during that time, they can't easily stop as they have a goal of paying their debts. They will continue their game and end up losing all the money they have. That's why many people who gamble feel lucky when they win some money. They often fail to realize that their luck may not continue in the next round, and they should stop gambling immediately. If they continue gambling, they may end up losing all their money and being unable to pay their debts. This always happens if they keep gambling after winning, only to experience a big loss that costs them all their winnings. Such a situation is likely to leave them feeling frustrated and regretful because they had the opportunity to stop gambling but didn't take it. Sadly, once they lose all their money, they won't be able to continue gambling, even if they wish to do so. It's crucial to understand that previous winnings shouldn't make one overconfident to try another game, as it may turn out that luck is not on their side this time. Therefore, gambling to pay off debts is not advisable.it is not advisable to gamble to pay your debt.
just by virtue of having had good luck before, a gambler tries to find a budget to gamble again by borrowing money from other people with the assumption that he will get lucky again, whereas luck will only come once in a few times or even only come once in a lifetime.
so luck or previous winnings should not be considered as a benchmark for daring to seek a loan to gamble again and such an assumption is very ridiculous to me.

maybe in the past I have experienced the things you describe but now I realize that gambling is a risky place and it is not good if we are too confident in hoping we can win again the next day and always consider wisely when we want to borrow money just to gamble is a very big risk and is not recommended for anyone.

Real madrid will be doing everything without even need to tell the public. There have been some news were leaking that if real madrid has been trying so hard to make the deal with the player itself. Let's wait for the further development from this news. I think that if everything is quite clearn right now. There will be some announcements to come in the future.
I hope that if everything will be going very well this season. There will be so many things to come in the future. Mbappe has become one of main target owned by the club. I think that everything will be clear once we will be heading toward the end of season.

It's only matter of time until mbappe will join in the real madrid as soon as possible. Mbappe will not miss opportunity to make it happen. Let's wait and see the development that's gonna happening in this transfer saga.
Real madrid will not miss a chance to get mbappe with quite cheap price.
In fact, everyone's hope in the transfer market last month was that they could get Mbappe and help Real Madrid to win the UCL title, but unfortunately it is difficult for Mbappe to leave PSG when his contract has not yet expired and we all know that Mbappe actually has the intention to go to Real Madrid to continued his career and earned a prestigious title.
the problem is that PSG as the owner of Mbappe is very strict in trying to keep the player so Mbappe decided to leave the team when his contract expired so the team couldn't do anything because if the contract expired of course all power would return to Mbappe and the team couldn't keep him anymore and this is the reason why Mbappe will only join Real Madrid in the following season.

and for Real Madrid, they are still patiently waiting until Mbappe has left the team, maybe in the next season we will see a special surprise from Real Madrid which will succeed in bringing in Mbappe and I am sure that actually both Mbappe and Real Madrid have a personal agreement.

Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr in the title race is one title race battle that’ll be so fierce especially as we’ve seen how crazy the points difference is between these 2 teams. Al-Hilal haven’t lost any game this season and in addition to that they’ve managed an average of 3 goals per game. A real incredible stat that Àĺ‐Nassr will have to come by if they want to have a shot at Al-Nassr and take over at top of the table. Al-Hilal have been without star man who they signed from PSG, Neymar and yet his absence haven’t affected their performance anybit at all.

 Ronaldo wants to win the league because he’s got just a season or two left and age isn’t on his side anymore as he might not be able to do all his dirty works when he’s off age which is one reason why he’s trying so hard to get the team always on the winning slate but let’s see if the rest of the team will be able to understand this and work with him.
Al Nassr will have difficulty in this match and will even find it difficult to catch up with the point difference because 7 points is not an easy task for Al Nassr because Al Hilal has never made any mistakes while Al Nassr has lost 3 times since the start of the season so it will be difficult to catch up with the point difference and in on the one hand, Al Nassr seems to have a very busy match schedule and Ronaldo absence seems to worry the fans because without Ronaldo, Al Nassr will find it increasingly difficult to win the title from Al Hilal, while Mitrovic as Al Hilal mainstay player is still in a very strong condition to continue to be consistent help get 3 points in every match.
of course Al Hilal doesn't need Neymar because from the start Mitrovic was reliable and ready enough to compete with Ronaldo.

currently, Ronaldo has a definite goal to get a title in the SPL helping the team he is currently playing for is not an easy job om the one hand, Al Hilal is one of the very strong teams in the SPL so Ronaldo will continue to try in the remaining time and still be able to have a career try your best give your best contribution.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 07, 2024, 09:10:25 AM
Inter Milan have really had their strength tested by big teams recently, where previously Inter Milan faced Juventus and Inter Milan managed to win the match. And next week Inter Milan will face Roma and of course Inter Milan must be ready to continue showing their good performance to get 3 points. If you look at Inter Milan progress in Serie A this season, of course they are very favorites as winners when facing Roma. Even though this is an away match, I don't think it will be difficult for Inter Milan to win.

Yes, Roma has better hopes of being able to defeat Inter Milan. Moreover, Roma has good capital because they were able to achieve two wins in the previous two matches. Daniele performance will be tested when facing Inter Milan because Daniele is able to make a good change for Roma after delivering two wins in the previous two matches. And in the match against Inter Milan, will Daniele be able to maintain the winning trend. Indeed, in terms of defense, of course Roma is not very strong and this is a big problem for them when facing Inter Milan.
that's why I always say here that I never feel worried about Inter performance because they already have much higher consistency even though they have to play against other big teams, but the facts say that Inter can't be beaten and the proof was yesterday that Juventus couldn't beat Inter even by 1 score just luck but it all happened because of the hard work of the very solid Inter team.
so far, Inter is still doing well without having any problems, the players' performance is still very consistent and Roma is not an equal opponent for Inter.

at that time, Roma had already won in a row, but for me it was just Roma luck that they got an opponent whose performance was below theirs, so Roma didn't have any difficulty scoring and beating their opponent, but the problem is that this was a match against the top of the standings and I'm sure De Rossi wasn't capable enough set a strategy to beat Inter even though there is hope but I will believe if Inter ends up winning against Roma.

I think, the result that Lyon will get in the Coupe de France later against Lille, maybe it can't be completely used as a benchmark about Lyon's performance recovering or not. Because yes, usually the favorite teams also sometimes lose by weak teams there in the Coupe de France. So yes, I think whether Lyon wins or loses later in the Coupe de France against Lille does not seem to have a big impact on Lyon's results in Ligue 1.

Because yes, of course Lyon's focus at this moment is to continue to stay away from the relegation zone in Ligue 1 and also, basically Lyon has had a better performance improvement also including beating Monaco in three consecutive wins at the end of the first half of the season. Therefore, I think Lyon's victory against Marseille is certainly a victory with great efforts that Lyon has, and not just relying on the luck factor.
Lille is certain to beat Lyon in the upcoming match for the same reason as you said it seems that currently Lyon is not really thinking about how this team can win titles in other competitions but what Lyon is thinking about is currently getting the best position to survive in the league 1 so losing in the Coupe de France match will not be a big problem for Lyon but what Lyon has to pay attention to is that they can beat Montpellier in the upcoming match because of the opportunity to compete against a weak team to secure 3 points and for me against Lille it looks like they will only compete as it is without forcing the players to try to chase victory, but I believe that the Lyon coach will prioritize the match against Montpellier.

Barcelona and Atletico certainly did not expect to have a fate like this, they have to fight to get back up in the hunt for trophies which have been very difficult to achieve. Real Madrid are now relaxing at the top, even though every week they are almost disturbed by Girona. The points gap will likely continue to grow as the season progresses. However, Girona deserve praise for being so consistent this year, they are playing great with the mentality of an elite club, and they have a chance of appearing in the Champions League next season. With Barcelona and Atletico experiencing unstable times, everything looks easy for Madrid to lift the trophy at the end of the season. Barcelona failed to defend their title, and Xavi raised the white flag before the season ended.
Girona has been fantastic this season in La Liga; even though they missed out on winning the La Liga title this season, they will surely qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. Girona can overtake Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table if they can win against Real Madrid in their next game. Barcelona are looking like people who will have hope to challenge for the La Liga title if they can continue to be consistent because they are 8 points behind Real Madrid.
Girona can maintain its position to get a ticket to the UCL next season, I think that makes sense but wouldn't you be surprised if a promoted team could surprisingly get a ticket to the UCL?
If you can get a ticket to UCL, I don't think Girona will be able to get through the group stage because mentally Girona is not yet ready enough.
and to win the title in La Liga eliminating Real Madrid, for me it is impossible unless a miracle comes while Barcelona performance has started to improve.
I really appreciate Girona performance but believe me competing with the 2 big La Liga teams will not be that easy even though they will compete against Real Madrid. I don't think Girona will be able to beat Real Madrid because Girona was previously beaten by Real Madrid at that time.

If only comparing Barcelona with Napoli, it is clear that Barcelona will still have a good chance of winning by beating Napoli . Because indeed,at least Barcelona still has a good situation and conditions compared to Napoli this moment and therefore, I personally believe that Barcelona will still be able to qualify for the quarter finals .But unfortunately, if I consider thequality of Barcelona at least in a few seasons and not just about this season then ya, at least Barcelona is still not strong enough to be able to go further . Therefore,I think meeting or playing against Napoli in the round of 16 is lucky for Barcelona because and that way, ofcourse Barcelona has a chance to qualify for the quarter finals.
comparing in terms of player performance, maybe Napoli is slightly superior, but if we compare from experience, I prefer Barcelona who will qualify for the next round this is just my assumption.
and indeed experience is not a guarantee, but at least a team that has greater experience in the UCL will have a greater chance of qualifying because of course there are key players and a great coach who will certainly be able to repeat the strategies that must be carried out to get through to the next round whereas if I comparing Xavi experience with Mazzarri, I think Xavi is more experienced to be able to take his team through to the last 16.

I realize that my assumptions may be a little exaggerated, but the fact is that Napoli are not doing well.

I don’t have a gambling habit. If you’re addicted and you feel it’s time to stop. The first thing you need to know is that it will not be possible to just automatically stop. You have to gradually reduce the time and amount you spend over time before finally stopping. That is a more realistic way to stop. As you reduce the time and amount you spend, you can engage yourself in other activities to help you too.
Most gambling addicts will not realize that they have a gambling addiction. They just feel that they are visiting casinos more often but they don't know that it is a gambling addiction. They need other people to be able to recognize and explain that it is a gambling addiction and they need to cure it as soon as possible before it is too late. But when they feel they have a gambling problem, such as spending too much money or starting to gamble too often, they should try to reduce their gambling activities before it is too late to realize it. It would be good if they could realize that there was a problem they were facing in gambling so they could immediately ask people close to them for help.
those who are addicted to gambling are actually aware that they are addicted, but it only occurs to them when they feel disappointed when they no longer have money to gamble, but their self conscious thinking will be distracted by thoughts that turn into emotions of wanting revenge and ultimately the awareness of their gambling addiction will be ignored.
what you say is the truth, we need at least 1 person who knows about the gambling activities we do to warn us if we have problems in our activities.
however, there is something a little confusing when a gambler prioritizes anonymity or hides his gambling activities from anyone and gamblers like this are difficult to predict and they will have difficulty finding what he did wrong in his gambling activities.

I always give almost the same as you, if anyone here or out there, maybe anonymity is one of the most prioritized, however, in this gambling, we must not really hide our gambling activities from anyone and there must be at least 1 person who knows like this a trusted partner or relative can keep the secret.
this suggestion is made so that there is always someone to pay attention to any mistakes that we are not aware of.

The Saudi Arabia teams are usually in the good financial situation and they have rich owners, in fact, the owners of these teams have enough money to supply everything they need and the owners are the family of the King of Saud Arabia. That's why they don't need to sell any stock to anyone including Ronaldo. But this can be a good advertisement for Al Nassr and Saudi teams to have a person like Ronaldo buying stocks.
Of course, Saudi teams have very good financial status. The owners of Saudi teams are the people who have almost unlimited money. That's why they are very easy to spend a lot of money for a superstar player like Ronaldo. Sure, they don't need to sell their stock, what for? The owners have no problem with the financial stability, they are not the owner of Barcelona.  Cheesy

No doubt that Ronaldo brings a very big impact. Having him on the club is a part of the club's advertisement. Al Nassr also can use his name in any event of Al Nassr team. We know Ronaldo has huge fans around the world, they are quite loyal to follow Ronaldo's journey. When Ronaldo joined Saudi league, they are starting to watch Saudi matches and joined the social media of Al Nassr.
yep, that makes a lot more sense.
financially, the SPL has enormous financial resources. we can see from the very large salary offers for european players and if we think about Ronaldo who has a positive impact, it is true that Ronaldo is very influential because Ronaldo arrival in one of the SPL teams affects the players confidence other europeans to try to join one of the SPL teams.
so that both are mutually beneficial and it is not surprising that Al Nassr facilitates Ronaldo in an extraordinary way. I have even heard that it is rumored that Ronaldo will buy Al Nassr shares because it is only natural that these rumors exist because Al Nassr is very close to Ronaldo.

maybe we don't need to think about whether Al Nassr shares will be sold, but it would be better to think about whether Ronaldo will make Al Nassr his last team before retiring and whether in the long term Ronaldo will still be able to have a positive impact on Al Nassr future?

I think Ronaldo reputation will continue to have a big influence on Al Nassr as long as Ronaldo continues to be a consistent player with scores scored in large numbers, of course in the long term Al Nassr will become more popular and the SPL will also benefit from it all.
