Considering the level of inconsistency in the Manchester United team under Erik ten Hag, I don't think there's anything wrong with your opinion is absolutely valid. If Manchester City or Liverpool were to be the team that's facing Southampton this weekend, I'm very sure you'll have a different opinion but because it's Manchester United, there's every possibility that they'll be beaten by the Saints.
Different people give their opinions here without being sentimental while others do based on their sentiments and how passionate they're about their beloved clubs but in the end, we all are free to express our opinions regarding English Premier League related issues on this thread.
Almost all of us have doubts about the Red Devils, whether it's the coach who is struggling to build or the quality of players who are declining. Even Marcus Rashford seems to have run out of time at United, Bruno Fernandez cannot work alone without a partner who can understand his wishes. There are so many issues we can talk about with Man United, but this week game against Southampton is a must win. Although there are a number of doubts about the club performance, at least with the opponent's condition also much worse, Erik Ten Hag can definitely benefit. That's the point, or the point is no matter how or how bad the situation is in the Manchester United squad that makes it difficult for them to appear impressively, victory in the next match against Southampton is still an obligation for Ten Hag if he does not want to get harsh criticism again and also if he still wants to stay as a coach there. On the other hand, if the match was not held at Southampton's home ground, then maybe I would be quite confident with Manchester United's victory even though they are having problems in performance, but of course as we know the match will be held at Southampton's home ground, and this is a situation that makes it quite difficult for me to put too much trust in Ten Hag to end the match with full points.

And gambling is just like any other aspect of life that should be enjoyed regardless of the fact that some people needed to make a whole lot of money out of it,
when gamblers have high hopes of making money from gambling, then the gambler's situation will get worse. That's the problem, raising false hopes. We have said it many times on the forum. Good gambling should be about having a good time and thinking that you might make money that day, but better to write it off, betting with money you can afford to lose and not pin your hopes on it. Believing that gambling is going to be the way out of your problems is usually the first step to making them worse. I think that if the object of victory in gambling is not money then it seems very unlikely for a gambler to fall and get carried away in the wrong mindset and approach to gambling, I am not saying that putting excessive expectations on victory in gambling is the right action, because after all it is a fact that gambling is not only about winning but also about the risk of losing which is always part of the game. I also think that it is best to have a neutral perspective on this activity, in the sense of understanding that you can get extra money when you win but also realizing that you are very likely to lose money when luck is far from you, but one thing that a neutral perspective can only be owned by a gambler who from the beginning sees and assesses gambling rationally, because the decisions you make at the beginning will determine how your fate is at the end of the journey, you should not be trapped in a circle of decline when from the beginning you know about what and how the activity you are facing.

To me I feel if people don't see this material things of life they just make a fast conclusion which will say "You are a profitable trader without this materials" why is this so?
Do you mean that if someone do not see you with car, house and richness, they may not believe that you are a good trader? Try and explain better. But if that is what you meant, that is life. If you are rich, people will like to know the source of your wealth. If it is from trading, they will believe that you are a good trader. But know that trading is very risky. The chance to lose is more than the chance to make profit from it. But making money from it is possible. Honestly I find it quite difficult to understand that part my friend, as you asked, it makes me confused about where the idea is going because it is too short and unclear, but so far I think it seems like what you mean is like what you said that the majority of people will only believe that someone is a good and skilled trader just by looking at all the living facilities they use. That is something normal and doesn't matter even though the wealth you get is not actually generated from trading but surely people who hear about you as a trader will certainly conclude that you are rich from trading. Everything can only be believed when evidence is involved, but when you lie by saying something that is not in accordance with the facts then it will only make your life complicated because surely there will be lots of people who come to be taught. On the other side of the scenario, it is not uncommon for people to misunderstand and act too rashly due to concluding everything just by looking and without doing any research at all beforehand, such as seeing other people's wealth generated from trading, it doesn't matter if you have a strong intention and determination to learn, but usually most people always want everything instantly until in the end they just waste money and time.

Despise all the strategy being applied, trading is not 100% guarantee but if proper analysis is being put in place at least your wins will be more than you lost, and you can be said to have made profit...
If you do not adhere to risk management, you will lose your money anyway, since you will not be able to open an order in the right direction every time with 100% probability. Thus, you should minimize the loss as much as possible if the price goes in the opposite direction to your expectations, so that this does not affect your deposit as a whole. Basically, risk management is not something that will completely prevent you from the risk of loss, or in other words, no matter how good the risk management you have designed, the risk of loss will always be something that may happen at any time without any indication, but of course one of the reasons why having the discipline to always apply risk management is because the possibility of loss that you will face will be less frequent than if you trade without having any prevention plan. Profit is nothing more than probability and it also depends on how much knowledge you have to execute the market correctly at the right time, we must remember that our goal here is to seek profit, meaning this is the reason why focusing on various risk management plans that lead to prevention must also always be maintained and do not just focus on various ways to get the benefits.

Dortmund vs Heidenheim match could indeed be a surprise. Heidenheim's performance is indeed good but in the 2 matches, they won from teams that I thought were not that strong. Facing Dortmund should be more difficult for Heidenheim. especially they have to play at Dortmund's home ground. of course, it's not easy to get points. Heidenheim and Dortmund have both not conceded in their 2 matches. and maybe their meeting in the next match will be the first goal conceded for one or both.
bookmakers give odds that favor Dortmund, the bet you made is quite good. adding the Leipzig vs Union Berlin match also seems good. Odds 1.45 for Leipzig to win.
The game between Leverkusen and Hoffenheim seems interesting to bet on because we expect to see Hoffenheim lose in this match because of the better performance we saw from Leverkusen. Also, Leverkusen was unbeaten in many games in the last season and even in this season their performance was not that bad to lose the chance to win this game. They are now going to play against Hoffenheim and considering the chance of Leverkusen in this game, I think the 1.53 seems good safe for this match. In general, Leverkusen is certainly much more favored by most people in the Bundesliga compared to Hoffenheim, because after all we have seen how extraordinary performance Xabi Alonso's squad has had, especially last season, also by setting an unbeaten record, and Hoffenheim itself is a middle-class team that has not been favored in the last few seasons, so I am quite sure that Leverkusen has a great chance of winning, but the only problem is that they will play at Hoffenheim's home ground which of course can greatly affect the course of the match, but I also have no doubts about Leverkusen's performance even though they had to start the season by losing to Leipzig. Basically anything can happen on the field, but I am sure that Xabi Alonso will show something perfect which indirectly if they manage to win this match, the fans' confidence will also be restored.

It is clearly not their responsibility, involvement in gambling is about each person and there is no relationship or obligation between you and others, in the sense that even if you manage to win a very big win, of course it is your own right, which means you are free to use the money for anything. What is mandatory is to be responsible for yourself, but I also do not forbid you if you do not mind donating a little of your winnings to a support program to overcome addiction problems, but what is certain is that there is no coercion at all.
The problem of addiction experienced by someone is caused by themselves who are wrong in treating gambling, and I am sure people will think like this, meaning it is very small to feel too concerned with anything experienced by others if you are not included in one of the causes of the decline experienced by others.

Basically it is a very big win in a slot game, although it may happen but it will certainly be very rare, but if there is a gambler who manages to win then I think the one responsible for paying everything is the casino itself, the game provider only takes care of the system in the game and also regulates the RTP that will be provided, and as far as I know the game provider gets money from a contract agreement with the casino owner, meaning that wins and losses are the responsibility of the casino in any amount.
On the other hand, I think that no matter how big a win a gambler gets, it must have been calculated by the casino, or what I mean is that the casino has considered it first before providing such a big chance of winning.

The most recent ah how far it is, it is near one year behind as last time I got my biggest win ever it is on a Play n Go slot called The Return of the Green Knight where on 4 January 2024 I hit a really good multiplier, my biggest so far being a whoping x11339 my bet. Unfortunately it was with the lowes bet so 0.10 gave me 1339 dollars at that time. I miss such times as since then only consecutive loses from months. I have quit slots now as I play very very little money, have completely lost faith in luck, my luck since that day is darker than the night.
Although the fun event happened a long time ago but congratulations to you my friend, I am also one of the gamblers who prefer to play casino games such as slots but I never knew about the type of game you mentioned, maybe I didn't explore it further, but I see that the victory you managed to get was very big my friend with only a capital of $ 0.10. So far I think I have never won a big win like the amount that people including you have managed to achieve, I don't know the reason but maybe because I rarely gamble and also added that my bet allocation is relatively small, I have never won more than $ 100 in any type of bet especially casino games, and in your story I hope that the consecutive defeats you experience after winning do not exceed the amount of victory you have achieved before.

I would not mix casino games, which are completely dependent on luck, and sports betting, which has a place for analysis and strategy. People lose in both categories, but in sports betting there can be professional players, and in casino games like slots and roulette there are no professionals, everyone loses with increasing number of attempts. At the same time, for most, gambling is positioned as a way to get pleasure and a dose of adrenaline. In other words, you are discouraged from winning in every possible way. However, subconsciously, all players want to win and win in the long run. It's just that not everyone has the patience to do analysis and statistics.
Yes I also admit that, sports betting and casino games are two different things, although both are risky but sports betting is more likely to give someone income, but there is still no element of consistency to always be able to win, but when compared to casino games then sports betting is much better but with the note if you have skills and knowledge, because if not then of course you will bet by relying entirely on luck. Basically making gambling a place to have fun should not be for some people, because after all we are all the same, meaning it is recommended for all gamblers, but in the end it always comes back to each person's choice, and what is unfortunate is that more of them do not know about what and how the activity they are facing is actually, and I am sure that one of the reasons is because they are too focused on the idea of "chance to win", and this is also the biggest reason why we must always use a rational perspective and mindset every time we find something.

We do hear this often times.
Everyone who gambles for money will be disappointed because it's unlikely that they'll hit their goal on a daily basis and compare it with their daily rate from their employment or jobs.
That's why, gamble only with the aim of having it as a hobby and to have fun. Limits should also be there and don't gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. It'll make you crazy when you lose it and you'll get into that cycle that you'll have hard time to break.
It will be an hobby if limits are continue being executed, if you are not overspending your money and you always have that will to stop when you already reached your target, both on your winning and losing allocated budget, most of those who suffer from losing a lot mistakenly treat this venue of entertainment. You need to make sure that you are not pleasing your lust and desire to the point that you become addicted then lose a lot. Right, and I would say that basically a hobby is an activity that is done in one's free time to calm one's mind when they are feeling stressed, in whatever you like where I also sometimes like to cycle around town when I am feeling stressed, meaning something that is called a hobby is an activity that will be a medicine for you to relieve stress. And if we talk about whether gambling can be a hobby or not then the answer is yes of course it can, but as you said it is true as long as someone does not spend excessive amounts of money, because when the activity that you consider a hobby actually causes various problems instead of calming your mind then clearly it can never be called a hobby. This means that in any activity it can be called a hobby but it also depends on how someone treats it.

Not only for beginners but hasty actions are also dangerous for professional traders, especially for beginners whose knowledge and experience are still very minimal. Basically in any case, especially in activities involving money, acting hastily will always be too dangerous, because when you take hasty action, it means that your considerations are not optimal, which will lead you to the wrong decision.
On the other hand, I am sure that these actions are more often carried out by beginners, because when someone has knowledge and experience, they will certainly know that acting hastily will only endanger themselves, but beginners do not think in that direction, which is because their knowledge is still minimal, I hope they, especially beginners, look for references from various sources related to what can be done and what should be avoided.

Yes, it also means that we must be neutral, in the sense of understanding that profit opportunities are indeed available in trading but also by acknowledging and realizing that risk is always involved in it or in every time you trade and can make you lose money. Although in trading getting profit depends on skill but it does not mean you should ignore the various possible risks of loss just because you have a lot of knowledge. So I think the ability to accept risk is always much better and also focusing more on risk management and planning is also very good so that we can minimize the possibility of various actions that should be avoided which are caused by emotions.

Of the millions of people who live, there will always be at least some people who are able to use their common sense and mindset correctly, and that is what makes the difference in the approach to gambling where some people come with the aim of making money but there are also others who only make gambling a place for entertainment when they have boring free time and they are people who are able to use their common sense correctly so that they know about what is right to be used as a goal in gambling.
Basically I think you will not experience too bad an impact in any activity when you know what you are facing and what the consequences can be from the activity, because that is what will determine your future fate.
True, not everyone has bad mindset and approach to gambling because basically everyone must have had lot of experience and felt how bitter and sweet gambling is until they can really have the right approach and be on the right track when gambling. But unfortunately most people are still always in an unfavorable condition, they cannot think well even though they have felt many complicated problems due to gambling, people like this usually have major problems with emotions because when someone experiences peak emotional condition then they cannot think well. Everything has been able to imagine from the beginning about what will be obtained from gambling, all the impacts and risks of gambling can be seen before someone starts it because there have been many experiences of other people that can be seen by all of us. Goals and approach to gambling are the main factors to stay on the right track and can minimize all the bad things that are not wanted. Well that's the problem my friend, often most of them find it difficult to make changes for the better even though they have basically experienced various setbacks that have caused many problems, especially in their finances, meaning that maybe I would say that some people who are able to use their common sense from the start in gambling are a small part of all people involved in gambling, and yes I quite agree with you that people like that are usually those who have problems in themselves such as having a high level of emotion that is really difficult to control. Simply put, we can see the impact that will be experienced by the person only from the approach they have, and actually we can also see this from when they experience defeat, because of course there will be excessive reactions and emotions when someone has a goal to produce.

In the end, yes, gambling will always be an activity that can never be predicted, and that is why we are always advised not to make it a place to earn, and that is also the reason why we are always advised to only bet the amount that we can afford to lose, and another thing I will also say that other types of gambling such as sports betting still luck is an important factor.
Of course, if the casino results can be guessed or predicted then the bookies will lose a lot and the gamblers will profit a lot. And this should really be understood by all gamblers so as not to put too much hope in getting profit here because the fact in the field victory is much smaller and difficult to get by gamblers while defeat and loss are often obtained by gamblers. Yes, you are right, even sports betting, apart from relying on the skills of the soccer players, gamblers also rely on luck to win in sports betting. Yes, that is something simple that should be understood by gamblers, but nevertheless it is a fact that gambling will always be an activity that can never be predicted 100% accurately. We must think rationally that no one will want to give you money for free, meaning gambling is not a charity field, casinos create games not to make you rich but only to benefit them with the many defeats that you will experience and of course you will be one of the victims of the casino when from the beginning you see gambling not from all sides such as you only see gambling in terms of its chances of winning. This is the reason why we must see everything rationally because that way we will understand and know about what we are actually facing, this determines your fate in the future.

I also think trading is not a lifetime job, trading is risky. You cannot profit all the time by trading, you have to face losses. I have heard many stories of people who have lost a lot of money trading and are still unable to recover. Loss of some coins by trading is not easily recovered and requires a long wait to recover. I traded few days ago and I also faced loss but still not able to recover. So trading can never be a life time job. You must have an income source, as well as trading with what you can afford to lose.
Trading shouldn't be seen as a lifetime job because of the stress that can affect our mental health, it's a business that you're not sure of making profits at the end of your efforts. Also trading shouldn't be the major source of income of any trader, it should be taken as an alternative source of income. I believe that depending mainly on trading profits to take care of your responsibilities is the major cause of stress for traders. If you have another major source of income and trade with the amount that you can afford to loose, not being greedy to overtrade then your stress will reduce. I think for the issue of whether trading is allowed or not to be made a lifelong job, I think it's okay as long as you really feel capable of managing and controlling everything well in the sense that it is according to your abilities, but of course I also don't agree if trading is made as the only place of income to meet all your life needs, because no matter what you say, trading is still an activity that cannot always make money. Honestly, I can't imagine how much pressure I feel when I need money for something urgent while I am experiencing losses in trading, it will definitely confuse me. So that means it's okay for anyone to get involved and make money in trading but make sure that you have another job or your main job to support all your life needs, meaning it's best to just make trading a side income.

That's why it's hard to adjust when you came from practice and demo trading and you all of a sudden go into live and real trading. The adjustment is so big and the difference is there that you'll think of it if you're really a good trader or it is just that the reality is hard to accept that trading is certainly is hard as it is. This is also the reason why many are aware that more traders are losing instead of winning and that's the fact that's hard to change.
That is why is actually good to start with very little amount to trade on life because in demo there is too much reluctant, feeling too cool while trading there but with live account there would be tension on the trader because he would keep exploring the best method to trade and make profit. While trading demo the person may not put much effort instead will have that mindset that it's only demo therefore has nothing to lose from the trade but with live account the trader will be extremely cautious. Yes that's right, basically a demo account can be utilized, but I think it's nothing more than something we can utilize to recognize all the features provided by the platform, although there is no significant difference with a real account in terms of features and appearance but of course as you said that what distinguishes it is from the feelings we feel because when we are involved in a real account then of course that means we are trading with real money and it's different from when we trade on a demo account, and the only difference is from the tension and anxiety involved. On the other hand as we know that a strong mentality and psychology must be possessed by a trader and you will only be able to have that ability when you have tried to be involved in a real account, because you will only be able to have that ability when you have practiced in a place that can cause tension and anxiety.

Yes you said something right about the impact when we are unable to ignore the greed that arises in the mind, simply the point is greed will make someone lose something they should have gotten before, so never try to exceed everything when it has become your portion. I understand that we never know about the right portion size, but by having a plan and being realistic I think you should have a plan about when is the best time for you to stop and secure profits. Actually on the other hand it is okay to apply greed as long as we are able to accept the fact of regret, but in most cases the majority of them always find it difficult to really be open-minded, so it is better to be grateful for any amount of profit as a form of appreciation for the efforts we have made in analyzing the market.
Yea, anyone that choose to be greedy or take a harsh decision on their trade must be ready with the stomach to accommodate the outcome of their actions. Months ago, I created a thread regarding how I allowed myself to lose the previous profit I made from my trade and the cause of my lose was because I made a bad decision. After making some profits earlier, I should have stopped and repeat back the next day but I didn't stop and that was what resulted to me losing all the profit I made earlier. Yes, the point is that we or a trader must always be aware of the risks, do not only think about the profit opportunities because it is clear that trading will always be a risky activity, especially when you fall into various impulsive actions due to being carried away by emotions or due to not being able to ignore greed for example. When you treat trading in that way, I think it's the same as gambling, and as you experienced where you continued the session when you had already made a number of profits, I think one of the reasons is because your level of discipline decreased at that time which was caused by you being too focused on getting a larger amount of profit which encouraged you to make decisions at the wrong time. Therefore, this is why a trading plan must really be owned and maintained by a trader, along with maintaining discipline in the sense that when you have reached your daily target, stop.

Casinos have thousands of strategies that at first glance look tempting for gamblers but in the end the casino scenario itself will generate more profits, such as the x10 requirement you said which at first glance looks easy especially when luck accompanies your session, but it will only be counted when you play on the type of game set by the casino, and I think regardless of even though the RTP looks high for example but to me it would certainly look suspicious.
As you believe that it is a trap strategy, and I also think that it seems that the games that the casino chooses as a place to qualify for claiming the bonus have been set in such a way that they implement a system where the game will be very difficult to win and another advantage for the casino is when gamblers have started to lose control then the casino's profits will be much greater when gamblers have started to enter the revenge phase and forget their main goal of getting the bonus. I will not avoid it but maybe I will try it once in a while with just a little money.

Absolutely not, Gambling is actually an addiction that will make you addicted to making money. Most of the people gamble as a source of earning money while there are very few people who gamble for fun. I have a friend who is addicted to gambling to get rich and after losing repeatedly he bets again. His dream is that one day he will win and collect a huge amount of money. Since betting on gambling requires money, it cannot be a hobby for anyone. Because here you have to enjoy an option of win or loss.
This is where you are getting it wrong, some people pay money to have fun and entertain themselves, so whoever is using gambling as a hobby already knows the risk involved and he knows that he will lose his bet. He is not gambling because he wants to make profit but he is gambling to make himself happy and if he wins or loses, he does not care. Support your thought, Not everyone takes up gambling as a source of income, there are many who consider gambling as fun and some as a good way to spend their free time. As people are weak towards money, a gambler may become addicted to gambling at some point which is quite normal. But there are many rich people who gamble even after losing money, they are satisfied with small wins. I have seen a gambler who is very fond of sports and only bets a small amount when his favorite team is playing. When asked he said that if the money is not kept then he does not get proper attention about the game. Of the millions of people who live, there will always be at least some people who are able to use their common sense and mindset correctly, and that is what makes the difference in the approach to gambling where some people come with the aim of making money but there are also others who only make gambling a place for entertainment when they have boring free time and they are people who are able to use their common sense correctly so that they know about what is right to be used as a goal in gambling. Basically I think you will not experience too bad an impact in any activity when you know what you are facing and what the consequences can be from the activity, because that is what will determine your future fate.

i doubt if Arsenal was willing to pay that much for Osimhen, they are known to be a team that can’t pay much for players.
This isn't the first time arsenal is been linked to Osimhen so if you're doubting Arsenal's ability to pay for Victor Osimhen under Mikel Artheta then it's obvious you're one of those that still retains the mental scope of Arsenal during Arsene Wenger's era as manager. The signing of Declan Rice for a whooping £100 million plus £5m and add-ons elucidates that Arsenal is nothing like it were under Wenger, he Artheta is all out to win the EPL trophy and getting the services of players that would make that possible wouldn't be a problem for him if the player fit in his interest and playing pattern. Yes, I think that's the mentality that a manager should have, especially for a top team like Arsenal, spending more money in the transfer market shouldn't be a big problem as you said and I agree with that, because after all it is also done for the benefit of a team so that they can have better and sharper performance in order to win the title at the end of the season with the note that the manager has really considered properly whether the player meets the criteria needed or not. PSG and Chelsea are on the radar of Osimhen's hunt but so far there has been no agreement from the two teams and I read from one source that now Arsenal is more interesting to Napoli because the offer submitted is approaching 100 million euros + bonuses, and I hope Artheta does not waste the opportunity if Osimhen does fit the criteria of the player they need.
