Just a year and a half ago, he already extended his contract with the club (until 2027), now it is obvious that he has turned into a top player and City wants to sign him with an obviously longer contract and a larger compensation amount. This probably won’t be difficult to do, since Foden has been a City fan since childhood and is as loyal as possible, but if I were him, I wouldn’t be in much of a hurry, since there are still 3 years ahead - why rush? Plus, he's already won everything he could with City, so maybe it's worth leaving some room for maneuver.

You have a good point there as well. Considering his current contract still has three more years to expire there isn't any need to be in a hurry to sign another shortly.

Besides he should think about the possibility of Guardiola's departure in the future as well. We all know Guardiola built this squad according to his system completely. In case of his decision to leave just like Klopp has done next manager choice will be really important for Manchester City. If they can't bring a manager who will continue with a similar system then things can get really interesting. However I assume they would think of bringing Arteta in that case who was already Guardiola's assistant before.  Smiley
Now this is also an important point that the club must note, if a change of coach occurs in the near future (perhaps Pep Guardiola wants to leave) then it will really affect the entire team. Because management must ensure that the next coach they appoint will be able to continue something that was built by the previous coach. It's not just one or two clubs that ended up having to decline significantly after they changed coaches.

There are also usually players who suit a certain system and some who don't. And Pep Guardiola is currently very compatible with the players he has in the squad, which is what ultimately made Manchester City succeed in becoming the best in Europe after they managed to record their first title in the Champions League. I agree that players should not be in a rush to make a decision on a new contract, they must consider and prepare everything, lest the decision they make will make them regret it later. The player can first consider everything before he signs the contract, because this also concerns his future at a club or even his future as a professional player.

Maybe we won't know who will be the champion until the last week. In fact, with the result of last night's match, the competition in the league has increased, every team has the possibility of becoming champions and I expect this situation will not change for a long time. The Premier League is really exciting this season. There is a lot of pressure on Arsenal, let's see what the players do in the coming weeks. It will definitely be a team that makes mistakes and loses points and will move away from the leadership race a little Smiley

So you hope Arsenal will do the same as last season? Cheesy I know and still remember that moment but is it possible that Arsenal will repeat the same mistake? if yes then we can say that Arsenal is under a curse Roll Eyes  yeah, it will be interesting to wait for the competition between these 3 teams with only one point adrift each team has the same chance. Most people favor Manchester City as champions because they seem more prepared based on the squad and team conditions but I personally hope Liverpool win it.

At first I thought yesterday's match was the right moment to leave Manchester City but unfortunately Liverpool only played a draw so Liverpool have to wait for another opportunity for example in the 37th match when Liverpool played Arsenal well that's the last chance to make a miracle.
The draw achieved by Liverpool and Manchester City made the competition even more competitive, so now there are no gaps. Even though there is 1 point of difference, I don't consider that to be the difference between the two. I had thought before, if this match ended in a draw then Arsenal would get the biggest advantage and that actually happened. Even though Manchester City was able to score first, I started to doubt Liverpool, but they managed to equalize and survive until the end of the match.

Arsenal had a chance last season, but unfortunately they couldn't maintain their game so that made them really fail in that match. and this season they have another chance and I won't say they are cursed because if you look at the competition I can't even predict which of the 3 clubs will be champions this season. There are still all possibilities, especially since Manchester City still has a match scheduled against Arsenal. The result of the match will be very decisive, because whoever wins will increase their chances of becoming champion.

36 games; 103 goals and 0 losses in total.... This is just an insane form by Leverkusen.  Shocked  The impact Xabi Alonso has made on this team is just huge. It is really hard to describe.
They have been amazing all season. They have 9 matches to go and have a 10 point lead at the top of the table, this means they can afford to lose 3 matches and still win the league. For a team that has only dropped 8 points over 25 games, dropping 10 in 9 games seems almost impossible. They also have the better goal difference.

What Alonso has to do now is keep them grounded and take it one match at a time, with each one being a final.

- Jay -
I think we can all agree that Leverkusen's performances under Xabi Alonso have been outstanding this season. They can even do this not only in the Bundesliga, but they can also do it in the European League, despite their failure in the round of 16 first leg because they only drew, but their chances are still very big to be able to qualify for the next round and I think they will be able to do very well in the second leg.

No one doubts Leverkusen in the Bundelsiga this season, in fact I can say it now that they really deserve to be champions here. In fact, it's not just about becoming champions, because they have the opportunity to record a record without defeat for a full season. I don't remember any club being able to do that, if I'm not mistaken Arsenal is the one that can do it in the Premier League with their record of one season without defeat. and not only that, they will also break Bayern Munich's championship record for more than 10 years which they have managed to record. This season Leverkusen will record gold ink for what they have managed to do this season.

In my opinion, Sevilla has shown positive values in their last five matches, three wins and one draw, only 1 defeat, this is Sevilla's best performance for this season, even though it is not 100% consistent in the matches played by Sevilla, Sevilla has shown its performance. at their best in the middle of this season, and in addition, tonight Sevilla will host Almeria. I am very sure that Sevilla will be able to get full points in this match, it doesn't matter that they are still in fourteenth position, at least they are away from the relegation zone..
Compared to the start of the season, now Sevilla are better, but in my opinion that alone is not enough to increase our confidence in them. Now they will face Almeria, and if you look at the level of opponent they will face, they should be able to handle it well even though they will play as the visiting team in this match. Sevilla's current position is actually not completely safe, because they are still very likely to be chased by clubs in the relegation zone, which means they must not miss this good opportunity to win.

There are many things that have caused Sevilla to decline this season, a decline in play, loss of cooperation between players and many others. Even though last season they were able to compete at the top of the standings and they managed to win tickets to the Champions League and don't forget they also managed to become champions in the European League. But this season they had to be relegated to the bottom of the table, they were also eliminated from the Champions League and did not get a place in the Europa League, that was something bad they showed.

Brighton at Premier League is still not stable and sometimes they win with big scores and often too Brighton lost even it against small teams and i think the winning result from Nottingham Forest today is not too impressive and there is no guarantee for Brighton they can able to performing well for second leg match later and indeed seems almost no hope for Brighton to advances to the quarterfinal because in the first leg they have already to lost with big scores 4-0 and although for second leg Brighton will playing at their home ground but i think we have to be realistic because Brighton journey in this competition is almost over this because they needed to win at least 5-0 from Roma and i think Brighton will need a miracle to do that even it almost be impossible
If we look at Brighton's overall journey this season, it is not very good, as time goes by, Brighton's performance is decreasing compared to the start of the season, not increasing and this indicates that this team is not making any progress.
Regarding the possibility that Brighton will be able to survive in the Europa League this season, it is no longer there, Roma is currently experiencing a quite significant increase in performance and this is inversely proportional to Brighton and also Brighton is already behind Agg 4 goals, so it really needs a miracle and a big surprise to be able to reverse this situation, personally I think it is impossible.
I agree with you, realistically Brighton's chance of surviving in the European League is no longer there, because the goal distance they have to chase is too far, that is the 4 goals they have to score in the second leg. Meanwhile, AS Roma has also been improving recently, so the possibility of Brighton surviving is very small or even impossible. In my opinion, only luck will allow them to survive in the European League and I myself am not sure that luck will come to them.

Now AS Roma's task is very comfortable, they only need to get a draw, or even if they lose as long as there are no more than 3 goals that will be fine. In this way, they actually don't have any significant pressure, but they also shouldn't be complacent with the superiority they currently have, because if they become complacent it might make them underestimate their opponents and that will be very dangerous for themselves. I hope AS Roma can perform as usual, because they have only put one leg in the quarter-finals, it's not completely safe.

Both Barcelona and Napoli are struggling, performance-wise. Their underperformance makes this match more uncertain. 

I agree with you friend and i think you are missing out on a detail, yes  Barcelona and Napoli are struggling, but Barcelona are worse off because they have more injuries and cannot score many goals, while Napoli has Osimhen back, fit and also amongst the goals!!

I think Napoli edges this, 2 goals to 1.
In the first match, it was Barcelona who got the advantage in Italy. The rematch will be in Spain, so I think Barcelona will be the team that will take the advantage. Napoli will have a difficult away game. The strengths of the two teams are very close to each other. That's why I can say that it will be a difficult match to predict. It will be such a match that both teams can win. Maybe it will go to penalties and the penalties will decide the team that will advance to the next round.
competing as hosts, Barcelona will take a lot of advantage, I agree with what you said. Because after all, clubs that play at their home base will benefit because they will get full support from their supporters and that will make their enthusiasm even greater because they want to present a victory for their supporters. But of course that doesn't mean they have a guarantee that they will win, they still have to put in the effort and hard work.

Napoli who will come as the visiting team will also want to get the best, so they will probably forget everything and focus more on their game at that time. Both clubs have to be very careful because once they make a mistake, they will be punished by being excluded from this season's Champions League.

Opportunities for both clubs are still open, it's just that Barcelona has a bigger opportunity than Napoli. And maybe they will achieve the same result again in normal time and have to continue the match in the penalty shootout round. And if that really happens then their chances will change to 50/50.

Milan 1-0 Empoli

Christain Pulisic has scored his 8 goal in Seria A today against the ongoing match against Empoli. Pulisic was able to find the back of the net on the 41st minutes, after he received a pass from Noah Okafor. It was a quality finish for the Croatian international.

The first half of the match has come to an end, and I believe that this match will be a sure three points for Milan. Milan are going slow and steady with their consistency, and I will not the surprised if they take over the second position from Juventus.

It's still draw as for now. Milan missed so many chances and pulisic probably the only guy who will have good rating at the end of game. The game is not entering the late game and the tension is also going up. The gameplay is kinda different once pioli decided to pull off pulisic and jovic out from the game.
Chukwueze and Giroud have entered the game, and it may end with a narrow score. Acmilan can only play defensively to get three points in this game. Pulisic is good, but he's injury-prone. That's the bad thing I disliked about him.

Empoli is still having a chance to equalize the score. Acmilan owned the possessions, but it looked so scary to attacks empoli.
They were really forced to work hard by Empoli in this match. They created several opportunities but only 1 ended up being a goal. Pulisic's goal was the only goal that occurred in this match which succeeded in bringing AC MIlan to secure the full 3 points.

I see that there are still many shortcomings in AC MIlan so that they often have difficulty winning matches. They have to be able to fix that, because if things like this continue then it will be detrimental to them. One of my notes for them is the way they defend and also their transition from defense to attack or vice versa. Sometimes they miss a lot of opportunities or they miss because their transition is still quite slow. If they face a better club then that will be a gap that the opponent can exploit.

Coaches and staff must be able to evaluate things like this, because whether they like it or not, other clubs will definitely look for gaps that their opponents can exploit when competing. I'm not saying they are bad, but I think they can still be better than what they are showing now.

Saudi Pro League has started to move for Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City.

A salary of 100m/year is rumored.

After Kevin De Bruyne got injured, I thought he might go to Arabia. Because he had a long injury. When he came back, there was a possibility that he wouldn't have the same performance as before. But he came back just like before. I'm sure Manchester City won't sell him to the Arabs. But the annual salary offered by the Arabs could make Kevin De Bruyne's head spin. It's not easy to say no to that amount of money.
Manchester City will not let Kevin de Bruyne leave so easily, because this player has become a mainstay in the team. It should also be remembered that recently when he suffered an injury it really affected Manchester City's game, especially when attacking. Even if they want to sell him, they must first prepare a player who can replace his role very well. The problem is that it will be difficult to find a player like that, Kevin de Bruyne is already part of the lifeblood that brings Manchester City's game to life.

However, I agree, maybe Kevin de Bruyne will be dizzy when he gets a very large salary offer, as a player, money is definitely something that can shake his heart. We can see that from Mbappe, who failed to join Real Madrid last season because Paris Saint Germain was braver in offering privileges. I don't know what type of player Kevin de Bruyne is, but if he prefers money I will really regret his decision, because he really deserves to be in a big league like the English League. His ability to handle round leather is excellent, so he has to decide what's best for his career first.

Al Hilal will host Damac FC next week, I predict Al Hilal will win this match again. Even though their opponents are quite good opponents, they have just won again after losing many times in the previous 4 matches. Everyone knows that Al Hilal this season is undefeated, they are the most productive club and also they are a club that has a very solid defense. Maybe Damac will just try to hold them off, so at least they can get 1 point in this difficult match. But I personally don't believe they will be able to do that.

Meanwhile, the other match will be very interesting, because in that match, Al Ahli, who is in 3rd place, will meet Al Nassr, who is in 2nd place. There is not much difference between the two clubs that will compete, especially since Al Nassr has just had to suffer defeat in their last match. Al Ahli will act as hosts, which is a big advantage for them. I believe this match will be interesting. However, it is quite difficult to determine who can win this match considering that the two clubs that will meet are not much different.

The match of PSG vs Reims team in French Soccer League has already started. Both teams are tied with 2-2 goals. I still don't know which team will win today's match. But PSG team is on the 1st position of the points table so expect PSG team to score one more goal.  Today's match will be won. If the players of both teams do not score any goals today, the match will be a draw.
PSG which is currently having 10 points lead from the second spotted team Brest fail to break their draw streak and now have third draw match in domestic league against Reims which is surely poor from them but as match and things are going to look like now we will have new strategy from the Spanish coach Luis Enrique which is trying to have team without Kylian Mbappé which is set to leave this team at the end of this season, but strategy is not working for them as they fail to keep things at the better level.

At home against Reims they were ended 2–2 at the half-time but in second half completely fail to have anything which give them better result so Reims lucky to have one point from this match in second half we have Mbappé for 20 minutes, but this also not works for the PSG.
This is the 3rd time Paris Saint Germain has had to draw in a row. Actually, this is not good for them, but they are still safe considering that their points distance from 2nd place is 10 points after Brest failed to get any points this week. I don't think anyone can stop Paris Saint Germain with the 10 points gap they currently have, especially since the clubs below them can't provide anything special, such as getting a good record in the matches they play.

Even though there is still a chance for other clubs to catch up, what Paris Saint Germain has makes their chances increasingly slim. I can say they will be champions again in Ligue 1 this season. Their task now is how to do their best in the Champions League. From the start, their target was the Champions League, they always wanted the title there, but they always failed to achieve it. Their mentality is still lacking to compete there, as proven by their repeated failures and I don't even remember how many times they reached the final and failed.

It is impossible for Klopp to gamble with the line-up that will be used in this match because a number of key players are injured.
Bradley and Quansah were the two names who played in the back line to block Manchester City's attacks which were filled with the names Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Foden and Alvarez.

Draw results that I bet on this match and bet multi. Tottenham have won and that is good for my bet. Just waiting for this match. If it's a draw, I'll party.
The match is in progress and up to this minute they are still playing at 0-0, the ball is rolling more in the midfield, this seems to be because both clubs don't want to rush into the opponent's defense line, but we saw once that Manchester City managed to attack more inside of what Liverpool can do.

I don't bet on this match, I prefer to just enjoy it, because I feel this match is very risky to bet on considering that both clubs are the best clubs in the standings and they are also competing to show who is the best among them after finishing this match.

There are other clubs who are also watching this match, they are Arsenal who really hope that this match will end in a draw. With a draw, they have an even bigger chance because this week they had a match and they won. Let's focus on this match, will there be a winner or will they play like this until the end of the match. We have been waiting for this match for a long time, so let's enjoy it.
992  Other / Off-topic / Re: Have you won a bet with your last cash? on: March 10, 2024, 03:35:13 PM
Luck can sometimes be on your side and you win, but ive also lost my last cash to gambling before where I was busy thinking that I could get luck, and I would have used that cash to maybe do something else cause I've well exceeded my gambling limit for the week, since I has no wins I just wanted to try my luck and lost my last cash still, since then I just stopped breaking my set gambling rules.

That to me has been a very rare occurrence as I remember only one time during my long gambling time with slot machines that I hit near the max win with the last money and I completely did not expect it all in the first place.Since then though every time I have clicked the spin button in my last spin things have usually gone from bad to worse meaning not getting nothing back and continuing to lose in consecutive sessions.

The feeling though when you win with the last money it is wonderful,you feel like you have just been getting out of prison and you get a feeling of liberty that until those moments were not at all there while you were losing,yet it is very difficult to achieve this feeling as it happens extremely rarely.

Yes and that means that sometimes luck can come unexpectedly when you don't expect anything at all from the start but in the end you manage to get a win, and this is how luck works, we can take your experience as a lesson that gambling should not be overrated and it means that it is better like you did which from the beginning you never thought of getting everything, because logically if for example we are lucky enough then the victory will also come by itself. On the other hand luck can come at any time and it doesn't matter whether you gamble with the last money or not, what is certain is to limit everything especially in terms of budget because you have seen the evidence that victory comes by itself.

From what you did in your story it seems that you were caught in a situation of greed where you kept clicking buttons with the aim of maybe getting a bigger win, but in the end the session ended up with a much worse result where you lost everything you had previously earned. Yes that's true about the last money win, it's a very nice situation indeed because you managed to get extra money when your financial situation is critical, and if you did manage to win with the last money then I think the best decision is to cash out as soon as possible, not to lose it all again due to greed, but it's not easy to be so lucky.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 10, 2024, 03:14:50 PM
The idea of being more mindful of the risks and consequences of gambling can make people to be more informed or to avoid getting addicted and making wrong choices and map on how to spend their time and money or to minimize the way they gamble through seeking help from professionals, family or Friends. They might also take breaks from gambling to give themselves time to access their behavior and the impact it's having on their lives, it means that it's not necessary to stop people from gambling but rather help them to manage their gambling in a way it won't affect them that much.
Well, you are completely right and I agree with you, but the question now is who is it that have the time to help others manage their gambling activities? Does it mean that such a person doesn't have work or some really important things to do with his or her own time, that he or she want to be helping someone else manage their gambling activities?

One thing I've always believed is that we are solely responsible for every outcome of our gambling activities, individually, it's our sole responsibility to watch over ourselves when it comes our individual engagement in gambling, a gambler who is not a newbie, and still will want to depend on someone else for guidance in their gambling activities shouldnt really be gambling, for such a person can easily blame other people for their own mistakes easily, I personally do not associate with such people.

Yes, it's a logical and reasonable question, the fact is that not everyone can care about you or anyone and maybe even one of your family members doesn't really care about gambling affairs and also about the adverse effects that you experience due to the wrong gambling involvement. As you said, everyone has their own busy schedules and it is not possible for someone to always be around someone who has a problem gambling mindset.

On the other hand, I'm not saying that I don't care about other people, but if it's not always possible for us to always take care of and help the lives of addicted gamblers, especially helping them manage and direct them to the right and recommended gambling activities. After all, there are no teachers or mentors in gambling, which means that whatever it is, it is your own responsibility and your own business, and it also means that whatever impact you feel and experience is purely your own fault due to the wrong gambling involvement. And also everyone has their own mindset and perception depending on their own beliefs, meaning that even if you have good intentions to help and direct them to the right path then maybe they will assume that what you suggest is wrong and not in line with what they understand.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does possessing information play an important role in betting ? on: March 10, 2024, 02:36:06 PM
Yes there is no type of bet mentioned by the OP above so it makes us have to think hard to try to understand what type of gambling is actually being discussed, because obviously there are many leading types of gambling and the OP did not say any type of gambling in his statement, looking at the idea it seems that yes he means the type of sports betting because it is related to information, because it is impossible if the method described above is useful for a type of gambling that is purely a matter of luck.

Sports betting requires us to have insight, experience and also skills in analyzing and also as you said that information is also an important part in this because it will obviously be able to increase the chances of winning or bring us closer to the possibility of winning. I have to admit that information on a team does help if you are involved in this type of sports betting, but yes at the end of the day obviously the possibility of losing can never be completely avoided, because after all this is a betting activity where all gamblers will have two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, and maybe I would say that the information you have is still dependent on your luck to actually win.

If we just based it on luck then there's no reason to acquire that information and try to give some effort analyzing it. Sports betting could be a skilled based type of game depending on the person who is gambling, if such gambler is more ambitous and would try to make a venture to make a living in gambling, then that venture will be quite challenging but it's not impossible to make a living in gambling, particularly in sports betting.

I say that sports betting is like you are combining skill with luck, I understand that insight, skill and information play an important role in this type of betting, but at the end of the day luck is always involved to ensure that the win really happens at the end of the session. One of the reasons why I say that it is a combination of skill and luck is because there is no denying that there are always events that are completely unexpected, such as when you bet your favorite team or any team that you believe in, and you put your faith in that team because you have previously obtained information that it is likely that the team you choose will win at the end of the match.

But sometimes your belief will not always go smoothly as expected, it cannot be denied that unexpected events are still very likely to occur, such as for example the team you bet on has a red card on one of its players due to any mistakes that ultimately have an impact on losing the balance in the power of play that allows the enemy to more easily defeat the team you bet on, and isn't this an event that was never expected before? And also isn't it lucky if the match session goes smoothly which makes you really able to benefit from the victory of the team you bet on? Yes, this is what I mean because I have experienced this kind of thing in the past when I was still quite active in gambling on sports betting. Yes, making money in sports gambling is not impossible if you have the knowledge and experience along with the skills, but my only advice is not to focus too much and make this your side income, because the reason is as I said above.

995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: March 10, 2024, 02:15:59 PM
From the topic, I don't think there is any other thing to do when you lose. the only thing is that you can try next time and if you continue to lose then I think is high time that person called it a quiet to gambling to save yourself serious loss in this bad economy. and gambling has just two things involved either you win or you lose nothing more than two options. and if you win you be happy and if you lose then you want to create more opportunities for yourself.  and a lot of people take addiction to be a normal thing and forget that if it is even about addiction it is better not to gamble at all. because you will waste so much money just because you want to win. and even if you plan as far gambling is concerned you will still lose but the important thing is how you manage your loss. and analysis also fail in gambling so just play your game and avoid becoming an addict at all costs.
It has a really bad implications of relying on gambling to address financial difficulties. Gambling may offer the possibility of either winning or losing, but the odds are typically stacked against the player. Even if you win occasionally, the overall outcome tends to favor the house, meaning that over time, you're likely to lose more than you win. gambling is not for people who have problems, it's an entertainment for people to spare their time.

Continuing to gamble in hopes of recouping losses can lead to a cycle of compulsive behavior and financial instability. Addiction to gambling can have serious consequences, both financially and personally, and it's not something to be taken lightly. Rather than viewing gambling as the option when faced with financial setbacks, it needs to explore more sustainable and responsible strategies for managing debt. The key lies in recognizing the risks associated with gambling and making informed decisions about how to address financial problems.

Exactly, making gambling as a place to solve financial problems is a very careless or even stupid idea and mindset, gambling is not a place to earn because it is clear that the facts about the concepts that exist in gambling as well as how the victory works are not as easy as imagined, and anyway you will only win once in a while and all the wins that are there always come by "chance" which means you will never know whether the results at the end of the session you will win or lose, everything in gambling is always about uncertainty.

As you said and it is true that however the overall winnings are actually only for the house and one of the reasons is because gambling is a business for the casino, meaning that it is natural for a gambler to experience more losses than wins because after all it is the casino that organizes and controls all the players who are playing. Of course, chasing victory to restore something that has been lost is an action that will actually only make you stuck in a deeper black hole, or meaning that instead of achieving recovery but what happens is that the amount you lose is even more accumulated, that's for sure because overall the percentage of losses is always greater than wins, meaning that when you try to overdo it because you want to restore something that has been lost then obviously more sessions will end in defeat.

Unfortunately most gamblers misunderstand what exactly is meant by winning opportunities, they don't think and see rationally from the start so they misunderstand and think that gambling is a great place to solve financial problems such as paying debts or to make ends meet which basically of course it will only make the situation worse, and addiction is a phase that they will definitely experience which leads to the impact of life destruction in various aspects.

Whatever is the tree, and so is its fruit. So when parents are gambling, most likely children will also imitate what their parents are doing, and might be thinking that gambling is the best and the most effective way to gain profits. They will continue to absorb this mindset even when they get matured, and even when they have learned in school that severe gambling is not good at all, but deep in their hearts, they will still chose to gamble because even their parents have been gambling throughout the years.

This is a sad reality that children are the most affected individuals when it comes to gambling. Good thing if they can be guided by some good people around, and will correct their mindset about gambling. But if the environment they will grow are populated by gamblers, then it’s a sure thing that these children will definitely grow into addicted gamblers as well.
If gambling is a prevalent activity within the household, it's likely that children will perceive it as a normative behavior. The impact of this can be profound, because it shapes their beliefs and attitudes towards gambling from a young age. Despite receiving education about the risks associated with excessive gambling, the ingrained influence of parental behavior may override this knowledge that leads children to perceive gambling as a viable means of gaining profits.

This perpetuates a cycle of gambling behavior within families, wherein young generation is predisposed to engage in similar activities due to learned behaviors and societal norms. Breaking free from this cycle can be challenging, especially if children are surrounded by an environment where gambling is normalized and accepted. Addressing the root causes of gambling addiction requires community-wide efforts to promote responsible gambling practices and support mechanisms for those at risk.

Yes that's right, the biggest impact will be felt by children and most likely their future will be guaranteed, or in the sense that their future will be very bad when gambling activities are ingrained in their lives. Honestly, I really can't imagine the impact if this situation really happens in a family environment, losing balance in terms of finances is something they will definitely experience and the worst thing is like what you said about the mindset of a child who over time will assume and think that gambling is an activity that is not a problem for them to always do, and this is dangerous.

Of course in the end it is the younger generation who will be the victims of the mistakes of adults or their parents who normalize gambling activities in their environment. But on the other hand I think this kind of situation is quite unlikely to happen in an environment that relates the role of many people, one of the reasons is because I think there will be some people who can really think rationally about gambling, especially when they experience a lot of losses because gambling is always about risky activities, meaning that not only will they win but losing is also a certainty, and there may be some people who think that it is better to avoid gambling because they experience a number of losses that are quite disruptive financially in their lives.

I assume there are many people who were surprised with the result of the Roma - Brighton game like me. It was just a huge dominance by Roma, much more than the expectations. The odd gap for these two sides to win wasn't that big. Maybe having Joao Pedro on the field would have made things more different for Brighton in terms of scoring capability.  Sad

On the other hand De Rossi is really doing a great job these days. The general results have been really positive since the day he took the job. If he goes on like this I think Roma board would seriously thinking of extending his contract.  Smiley
The results of the match were a bit surprising, because I personally didn't expect them to win with such a landslide score. The reason is that at the start I thought that Brighton was one of the clubs that could provide resistance to AS Roma, but they didn't show that in this match. On the other hand, it was AS Roma who could actually be comfortable with the scores they could create.

This result will make AS Roma more comfortable in the second leg even though they will have visiting team status. Even if they lose, as long as there are no more than 4 goals then it will still take them through to the next round. This is a good move from De Rossi.

Another match that ended with a striking score was the match between Sparta Prague vs Liverpool. Liverpool managed to overthrow Spartha Prague with a score of 1-5. They really deserve to be the favorites in the European League this season. Leverkusen experienced a slightly disappointing result, they had to draw 2-2. However, in the second leg they have a big chance of winning, this time they will appear as hosts. That was an advantage for them even though they had to draw in the first leg.

Real Madrid will host Celta Vigo, this match should not be a serious obstacle for them considering they are at the top of the standings and their opponents are struggling to get further away from the relegation zone. It would be a shame if they had to fail in a match like this which would put them at all disadvantages in the next match. Don Carlo must prepare as best as possible so that they can achieve maximum results.

Real Madrid is still at the top of the standings currently, 5 points ahead of Barcelona, who just recorded their win this week. Of course, this is a threat if they don't win this match. At the same time, Girona will also compete in less than 2 hours against Osasuna, they also have to win if they want to return to second place in the standings which is currently temporarily occupied by Barcelona. Looking at their opponents, this is not an easy match for Girona because Osasuna is also not a club that can be underestimated, especially with the positive record they have recorded in the last few matches, it will definitely be a warning for them to play carefully.

Just have seen the afternoon results from the games today and looks like Bayern Munich destroyed Mainz with that 8 scored goals ,damn.
My bets for Leipzig and Augsburg also was right so there is nothing to complain here , but i hanvt expected that Gladbach will playing a draw against Cologne.
Fingers crossed that Dortmund will win in the evening game in Bremen as i have bad feeling for that match.
This is the Bayern Munich that I know, yes, they are the ones who can always destroy their opponents, especially if their opponents are far below them. I haven't seen them like this for a long time and now I can see them again in the game against Mainz. It seems that Mainz is very unlucky in this match because they are facing Bayern Munich who are in very good condition, different from the previous Bayern Munich match.

They were really very effective in carrying out attacks, their percentage of converting opportunities into goals was very high in the match with 8 goals they managed to score. But the problem is that just one good game is not enough for Bayern Munich, because this is a league that requires them to always get good results in every game and this season they are doing no better than Leverkusen. If only they could always play like this then maybe they wouldn't be where they are now, but this season has been very different for them because they have to fall behind Leverkusen who are at the top of the standings.

You have to be specific with what type of gambling you are talking here... I pressume that it's sports betting, right?

Possessing information is a must but it does not guarantee that you'll win with the information you have. it's still vital on how you'll analyze that information so you can use it to help your chances increase. Information nowadays is easy to find, especially on major leagues, it's all over the internet, but then again, it will all boil down on how good we are in analying that information we derived.

Yes there is no type of bet mentioned by the OP above so it makes us have to think hard to try to understand what type of gambling is actually being discussed, because obviously there are many leading types of gambling and the OP did not say any type of gambling in his statement, looking at the idea it seems that yes he means the type of sports betting because it is related to information, because it is impossible if the method described above is useful for a type of gambling that is purely a matter of luck.

Sports betting requires us to have insight, experience and also skills in analyzing and also as you said that information is also an important part in this because it will obviously be able to increase the chances of winning or bring us closer to the possibility of winning. I have to admit that information on a team does help if you are involved in this type of sports betting, but yes at the end of the day obviously the possibility of losing can never be completely avoided, because after all this is a betting activity where all gamblers will have two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, and maybe I would say that the information you have is still dependent on your luck to actually win.
