These reports about Osimhen are getting my attention. Guy seems unhappy at Napoli, and it's easy to see why after a rough season. It's time to start over. I think he'll do great in the Premier League. That much strength and that fast pace... it's his kind of game. Also, getting the Premier League title? Huge reasons to brag. Even though PSG might be a candidate, I have a feeling that England is calling his name. It will be interesting to see if any more Premier League teams join. This could cost a lot!

I also think Osimhen will further develop his potential in the Premier League. with a league full of talented players, there will be better competition for him to develop his abilities.
if he was in the right team and coach he would definitely be a more dangerous player than what we see now. However, it wasn't easy for him to decide on a team, maybe he should have decided to leave in the transfer market last season. when he is at his best.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

because a bad experience happened to us, it is not necessarily the same experience experienced by other people in gambling.
Advising others by sharing our bad experiences is not something bad. that can still be considered normal. because it can be a warning to other gamblers who also gamble the same as us.
Some people choose to keep their gambling stories to themselves. but some of them willingly share their bitter stories with others as a warning and lesson. It doesn't matter whether it is accepted by other people or not, what is certain is that every experience like that must have good intentions.

Especially if you play on the type of slot game where it purely depends on luck while anyone will never know when they will be lucky, so when you put your hopes on winning then wouldn't you feel disappointed when it turns out that the result is losing? Obviously, therefore we cannot rule out the aspect of risk management or the ability to accept the fact of losing, because after all what will happen is instead of earning but what happens is that you lose a lot of money because you are unable to control emotions due to defeat and continue gambling by making decisions based on emotions. I'm not saying that you won't be able to win because you have also said here that we will be able to win when luck comes, but isn't risk management and having the ability to accept the fact of losing important? Of course, this is gambling which is always about winning and losing, and not winning and winning.

Yes, we don't need to have high hopes in games of luck like slots. The bigger we hope, the bigger the disappointment when we lose.
slot games are impossible to predict. there is no skill that players can rely on to win except their luck.
just play the game and enjoy it if you get lucky. We don't know when it will come, but what is clear is that gamblers will not always experience a lucky streak.

So far the match is going well between Arsenal and Brighton and for now there both strength are equal, although arsenal almost scored during the early minute but the heading was not on target, funny enough the kind of performance Brighton is posing on Arsenal on this match is quite unexpected because Brighton have been seen as a club that doesn't have much performance compare to Arsenal but there efforts on this early time of the match is encouraging and if they had utilized the opportunity they had they would have also score one goal.

However I still believe that Arsenal will break them eventually because since the match has not really gone that far the both team performance will still be equal, so from the second half we will really see the team that's more stronger, however with the current situation of Arsenal on the premier League table they cannot afford to lose or draw this match because if they do Manchester City will take over the second position, so there main target on this match is to win Brighton.

The last meeting between the two was won by Arsenal 2-0 when playing at home. and in this match Arsenal may still be the favorite, but Brighton is quite strong when playing at home.
Arsenal will probably have quite a lot of opportunities and dominate the match. but Brighton will probably try hard not to lose this match. at least maybe you can get a draw.
Just hope Brighton doesn't stay under pressure for long. it can be very tiring for them.

Gambling is both combination of luck and your skills, but decisively we win by chance. Your bets are placed based on your already gotten knowledge as you have already said, of which you stake on those predictions within your risk tolerance level and accept any outcome of your bets.

My take on this OP,  is gambling isn't fun as well as either you lose or win. We all just take part in a probability game that is uncertain, we accepting this fact shades us from Ill feelings of which we keep betting nothing more or less.
Of course judging from normal Human perspective it won't be fun if don't all lie to ourselves, we all know and accept lose as part of game so it becomes fun when we lose then if am to put it this way. In essence gamble responsibly with your set rules so as not to reach a stage you become  emotionally unhealthy and then the fun dies off the game.

Sometimes gamblers' thoughts also make sense. but some gamblers are aware that they are betting and have the hope of winning. Even though the results depend on luck, gamblers still bet happily.
if there are gamblers who still think gambling doesn't provide fun for them. I'm sure the gambler is under pressure from losing a game that is increasingly making him frustrated. However, the impact of gambling varies for each gambler. and their responses are also sometimes unique.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 06, 2024, 03:47:48 PM
The interesting match of the Italian Serie A today is AS Roma vs Lazio, a match that will show how each of them will end the season with respect to the Champions league and Europa league. AS Roma have a shot at the Champions league if they can close the five points gap between them and the potential newcomer Bologna. Roma will likely win Lazio tonight to reduce the gap to two points pending what will be the outcome of the match between Bologna and the relegation threatened Frosinone. On the other hand, if Roma is unable to win Lazio who will is still fighting to displace Atalanta in the Europa Conference league spot, then it will be highly unlikely that Roma will qualify for champions league next season and that will be a huge setback for them, missing two champions leagues in a row.

Roma should be favored by playing at home. but Lazio still cannot be underestimated. they beat Juventus even though in the end they were countered by Juve and had to lose 2-0 in the next meeting.
Maybe Roma can win, but it won't be easy and the match will be tight. there could be a small goal difference advantage if their strategy succeeds in frustrating Lazio's players.

I don't think the problem is race. We know that gambling has been around for a very long time in human civilization and it is always developing. but perhaps focuses more on the living environment of the gambler. This is related to the mindset that is developing in society regarding needs.
I think the chances of a gambler becoming addicted are the same. no matter what race or religion. when the development of gambling is getting higher, and the income obtained is also better. The potential for gambling to develop and cause many gambling addictions will become even greater.

Marseille's performance in the Europa League is of course very extraordinary and now they are even able to reach the quarterfinals with all the obstacles that exist, besides that their chances of reaching the semi-finals are also wide open for them, because in my opinion at this time Benfica is not stronger than Marseille so that it provides an opportunity for Marseille to beat Benfica in the game later,  Marseille's journey in the Europa League is smoother than their journey in Ligue 1 this season.

Benfica is not a weak team. However, perhaps observers will pay more attention to Marseille who will be more dominant in the match.
but I think the match will be interesting with a surprise from Benfica. They are not a weak team that was lucky to get through to this phase. they also fought hard against their opponents. and now it is the persistence and strategy of the best team that determines victory.
I won't judge which one is better. because each league has different team qualities. Marseille may be struggling in Ligue 1. but we won't know whether they can surprise or not in the Europa League.

It could be said that with Bayern Munich's frequent failures in the domestic league, their chances of winning against Arsenal are decreasing and I think Arsenal with their consistency can bury Bayern Munich's hopes of going further. Of course, the Gunners are very confident with the instability of Bayern Munich so far and they will definitely try as hard as possible to get a win in the first leg.

I know it's not an easy job, especially since the first leg took place at Bayern Munich's home ground. But at least if Arsenal knew the weak points of Bayern Munich's defense then they could steal the aggregate lead first. If this can go well then it is not impossible that Arsenal will break the bad record in history when facing Bayern Munich. It might be a bit naive if we don't discuss this clearly, but Bayern Munich can't do much this season, especially in the Champions League.
An exciting match is on the cards between two top European teams, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Bayern is a strong team, and their past Champions League record vs Arsenal favors them. However, this time, Bayern seems to be facing several challenges. Injuries have become a major concern for them, casting doubt on their performance in the upcoming Champions League clash against Arsenal. Despite the first leg being held at Bayern Munich's home ground, the Bundesliga side is already facing difficulties. Arsenal seems to have the advantage, but only time will tell how the match unfolds.

Munich must maximize its chances of winning the Champions League trophy. Even though it will be quite difficult when they have to face Arsenal, that is the tough road they have to face.
This situation must be maximized after their chances for the Bundesliga will be very difficult following Leverkusen. So even though they are not favorites, they could be a surprise to overtake Arsenal if they play the right strategy to win Arsenal in the next match.

He should learn how to handle his money well. He can start by limiting his budget in gambling. Take only few percentage on his salary. He can still even gamble with small amount of set budget. Atleast, this way, it will not hurt much his budget or salary. He can control his finances well. He can also get saving account to put his money. He can also try taking break from gambling. Try to make him realize what he is facing right know to enlighten himself. If you think these cannot help him, or he cannot help himself, then it's much better for him to seek professional help.

at least a novice gambler should know that he or she may lose their money in betting. because every novice gambler's thinking is to make money from gambling, not to get pleasure from the game.
Determining the allocation of funds is indeed important. it limits every gambler from getting involved in an addiction that could destroy his finances.
many beginners in gambling go crazy because they can't control themselves.

Manchester City will be the strongest team if they manage to get Mbappe because the quality that Mbappe has will encourage them to become a team that has goal-hungry front players. However, Manchester City efforts to get Mbappe are certainly not easy because Real Madrid will be at the forefront of getting Mbappe. But everything could change if Mbappe is more interested in playing in the Premier League then Manchester City or Liverpool will be his goal.

It would be great to watch Mbappe at Manchester City. I'm sure every Manchester City fan would want that. But we know that Mbappe had some problems before when he was in the same team with Neymar and Messi. He might have similar problems playing with Haaland. There are younger players at Real Madrid, so he can gain respect from them. And we can see him as a dominant character at Real Madrid. But when he plays with Haaland he might not be the dominant character. I think he will be more successful at Real Madrid.

Both of them are talented young players in the current era. they can compete like Messi and Ronaldo in the past. it would be less interesting for fans to see both of them on the same team. City could be very overpowered in the Premier League.
I would prefer Mbappe to Madrid or a club in the Premier League other than City to create competition with Mbappe.

130 million euros is too high for him even though he performed well at Newcastle but for a club that buys a player at too high a price there is a risk of incurring losses because there is no guarantee that he will perform as well or adapt well in his first season.
With the price set by Newcastle, it is actually a rejection of any club that wants this player.
Alexander Isak scored 15 goals for Newcastle with 1 assist and at his young age his future is quite bright, especially if he can get a better club, but still 130 million euros is too high for him, unless the team that wants him is Chelsea who are always willing to pay high for the players he is targeting, and I am sure that with the price set by Newcastle, Tottenham are out of the hunt.

It is true that when a club sets such a high price for a player, it actually says that this player is not for sale, but if a buyer is found for such a high price and they will be able to make an appropriate replacement, for this money. On the other hand, I constantly see how prices for players are constantly rising, if earlier it was a wonder to hear the amount of 100 million, now it has become the norm for almost any top club.
Tottenham are not an ambitious club to spend large amounts of money, and I'm not sure they would pay that price. Unless you really insist on getting his signature, there are still options for players whose value is affordable and can have the same effect. It all comes back to the context of Spurs pursuit and demand. For Isak, whose price tag of 130 million is too much, he still doesn't have much experience at his age. Newcastle only took advantage of the situation when Isak performance was improving, but we'll see if Newcastle succeeds in improving the situation in the Premier League? I think it actually shows a decline compared to last season. And don't forget Joe Lewis is not the type of person who likes to waste money on one player.
Yes, I think the price is too high. Maybe if Newcastle wants to let him go, negotiations might result in a fairly large price reduction from Newcastle's asking price.
It's not just Tottenham who are rumored to be interested in Isak. Arsenal are reportedly also interested in getting the player's signature.

What was your latest big win from gambling? How do you feel after your latest big win?  is $16700 last week and I have lost half of my latest big win cause most times I do chase my loss unconsciously. I really want to know how you do feel after your latest big win. Do you increase your betting stake with mindset( if I lose it’s not my hard earned money) or will you maintain your staking status quo?

I haven't won a big bet from the casino in quite a long time. Currently, I play more often in sports betting. and betting with a small amount is better in my opinion than targeting a big win where we might lose more in the game.
Every time you get a big win, then exit the game and enjoy your victory however you like. Even a win like that might be difficult for you to get again in your next bet. Don't be too enthusiastic about continuing a game that will use up all your money.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: April 01, 2024, 09:09:38 PM
You have stepped onto a very wide road. This question is very relevant for gambling. But I want to say that this issue concerns not only gambling. The inability to keep emotions under control is a problem in many areas of human life, it can be family, work, or business. Not being able to control your emotions can be a problem in life. Therefore, when a person learns to keep his emotions under control, he will not only have fewer problems in gambling, but also in many areas in everyday life

In many other cases, of course, someone who can control their emotions well is someone who is experienced in their field. as in gambling, beginners will find it difficult to have control and are more likely to play according to their emotions. Therefore, beginners make more mistakes when given several small wins and continue to chase big wins.
There is no special way to overcome this, everyone can control their emotions. but the process may be different.

Bayern Munich winning the first leg is what I don't understand and secondly I don't think Arsenal will be so stupid allowing Bayern Munich win at the Emirate stadium. Concerning the second leg I can't predict but if the goal difference is much during the first leg then Arsenal will definitely win the game.
From my opinion predicting the match is difficult but let's not forget the strength of both teams this season and Arsenal has been playing effortlessly, watching yesterday match also show the strength of Arsenal this season so I don't think Bayern Munich will win so easily or rather I don't think Bayern can defeat Arsenal.

in the first leg what might happen is a small difference in score. it could be 1-0 or 2-1 in favor of the host.
Arsenal is not a weak team, but facing Munich, which is also a strong team, is like a final match. However, both teams have enough abilities to beat each other. but there will only be 1 who passes.
This is a difficult match, just like the Madrid vs City match.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 01, 2024, 01:26:06 PM
Modric leaving wont hurt Real Madrid. Their team is too strong. He's a great player. Though faint, it will leave a mark. Talent loss always has repercussions.

Those Ancelotti rumors may be true. Its possible Modric has a natural coaching instinct. Many top midfielders do. He reads the game like no one else, which is invaluable for a coach.

See what happens. Retirement? Another team? Folks, Im unaware. I know that until his contract expires, he's Real Madrid, and they'll want to keep him. Wait and see what they decide.

Modric is indeed a great player. His body is not as good as the players in Europe, but he has advantages in handling the ball and with accurate passes.
Modric really understands the game requested by Ancelotti. he has played for Madrid for quite a long time. and his departure will still make his name great in the eyes of fans.
Now he is 38 years old, he plays for Madrid and the Croatian national team. I think he will definitely choose to give a young player to replace him. If he retired now, Modric would also have to be proud of his achievements throughout the history of his professional career.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? on: April 01, 2024, 01:09:06 PM

Then there is one indicator that you can use for measurement - deposit/withdrawal. Because it does not matter if you win 100 times, when you can withdraw less than deposited. But what is the point of tracking such info? And this indicator turns to be useless for people who deposit to have fun. They pay for fun and they dont care if there is anything left on the balance by the end of a day. As for me, when deposit = spend, as well as lose = spend, such tracking makes no use. I dont measure my gambling as profitable or not, I measure it with I had enough fun or not yet.

for gamblers who don't care about such tracking of course it will not affect the gambler. but if there are gamblers who care about such tracking, I'm sure there will still be more in their accounts that they deposited than they withdrew.
there may be regret when they see these results, gamblers will think they should hold onto their assets rather than risk them. and the results must have made them happy.
but gamblers definitely can't be like that. most of them bet and then forget everything. it is not very important to look at the history of how many assets they have deposited or how much they have withdrawn.

FYI, currently Leverkusen is 1 goal behind TSG Hoffenheim, which is very surprising.

It's now nearing the end of the game. didn't expect Leverkusen to lose at home.
Currently, there are still 7 matches remaining in the Bundesliga. and there is a possibility that Munich will catch up to a 10-point gap. of course with heavy conditions.
I just don't want to see a repeat of last season's situation, when Dortmund almost took the trophy. but it was thwarted by Munich who kept the trophy in their hands until the final decisive match.
Just hope Leverkusen doesn't lose focus for the next matches.
19  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 30, 2024, 03:30:03 PM
is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.
I am sure that gamblers know and consciously continue to gamble with their addiction. This may stem from interest in the game, profits that have been obtained, or game activities that are too intense.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.
Gambling business owners profit from addicted gamblers. Gambling platforms are not like exchange platforms that can provide trading-related insights to their users. but gambling will never do that.
You can see this in many advertisements on gambling sites. they will focus on big bonuses and winning offers. the perpetrator's business effort is to get more users.

Just between two seasons, Bretford's ball possession has moved from good to bad. Last season we had them showing a beautiful display in most of their matches, which landed them in the 9th position of last season's Premier League table. And this season hasn't had them at their best form, which has me to say that they can't draw close to their previous position last season(9th), but may fall deep into the relegation zone if they didn't intend to improve on their performance to win some of their remaining matches, which I believe they will get better before the end of the season.

Brentford match against Manchester United will not be a easy one for Manchester United to conclude is a win for them, you know why? Teams that are below or a bit above relegation zone do give a tough fight when playing against other teams above them. However let's see what Brentford will be able to turn out from their home match against Manchester United.

We know the problems of clubs that are not as dominant as Brentford. they can appear impressive in some matches but after that, their game drops significantly. Problems related to players playing too often to the point of getting tired and injured will have a big impact on the team's performance.
the situation will be different with a strong club with many good players. they can rotate their players without a significant decline in performance. that's because the quality of the players they have is not much different.
Not only Brentford, but we can also see the team that won the competition in one season. then their performance falls the following season when they lose a player or there is a change of coach.
