Unfortunately gambling is programmed in such way to make you completely lose your "mind".I just had some bonus money to throw in and I played slot machines with super high volatility,firstly the machines kept giving me money and I thought why not raise the bet and win some more.It is exactly here where I lost it completely and lost everything as the machines are programmed in such a way that when you increase the bet you need a much bigger balance while most of us do not have that when we increase the bet.
This puts us in a complex situation and that is why we cannot understand when we should stop,such it is very difficult to handle gambling with care.

For USA vs Sweden, I would think that Sweden will win, even though the Americans are playing pretty well.

I just prefer the way the Swedes play compared to how the Americans do it, so my prediction is Sweden will come up on top.

Although Sweden women's players are performing well on the field, the USA women's team is the best offensively. The USA Women's team has had the most attacks in attacks so far in the current half. Although neither team was successful in attacking, in that case I can say that the team that can attack more after half time will be the winning team today. And if we want to score today, we will have to attack the hardest because the defenders of both teams are very strong and hard working players. But usa is attacking the most i think USA can win because also much ahead in attack.


They are now waiting to play penalties and I would have not imagined this.USA is one of the best teams in women soccer and I am surprised at how great Sweden was in holding up against them.Now the penalties are just a lottery and any team can pass but I think it would be a huge surprise the USA elimination from the tournament.The fact that USA didn't score means that now they can suffer the unwritten law of football which is "when you don't score you will concede or if you don't you will risk it all in sudden death (penalties".The odd was great for Sweden to have a draw and I was afraid of them because I thought USA would crush them.

Exactly. De Gea was way younger when he transferred to United from Atletico to replace the legendary Edwin van der Sar. You can't use the lack of experience excuse on Onana either since he got enough already for professional footballers's standard so his mistakes is mostly due to his poor decision making and overall skills as a goalkeeper.
Manchester united will suffer major setbacks this new season, it's just a matter of time before everything stand appropriate for the club. The new goalkeeper, Andre Onana been criticized by fans for his poor performance in friendly games. The Cameroonian have good footings on the ball and always outside his box, so conceding far away shots would be achievable by his opponents. United former goalkeeper, David de Gea had his own blunders, but he still made good performance at Old Trafford. Then look at the Andre Onana, already opening his weaknesses and the league haven't started, let's see how everything will plan out.

Onana was one of the best goalkeepers of Serie A and I think the friendly games do not show the true commitment of any player,they are just to test the team.If Manchester United has made on right choice in this summer transfer market is this goalkeeper as we will all see great ball saves by him,just like he did with Inter Milan.I think that although Manchester United may be has not bought the best players during this summer this goalkeeper will contribute to the team in a lower number of conceded goals compared to the previous season and I am pretty confident about it.

Bezzechi sounds like he is serious in his Championship contender fight this year as he is trying really hard to get on top.I like that honestly as it is a team who is run by Valentino Rossi a legend of the MotoGp and the rain will only make the race much more beautiful.This will also make us see a winner like we have not seen before,I remember the years where Jack Miller was a great guy winning a couple of races in the rain while no one of us before that happening took him seriously,for most of us he was just a normal rider like many others,after we saw him in the rain we saw how great rider he was.Let's hope for some great action tomorrow.
After I saw the WUP session for MotoGp today, the sun was briefly visible around the Silverstone circuit so that made the weather conditions even better although I hoped that today's race could be very different from what happened in the Sprint Race yesterday. Because yesterday I saw all the Asian manufacturers suffering so much that the riders riding the motorbikes from the Asian manufacturers had to finish the Sprint race at the back, including Marc Marquez. Today Marco Bezzechi will probably give his full effort in the race to get a win in order to be able to close the gap in points that still exist with Bagnaia in the temporary standings.

That is what I like about him,he has always believed in the title fight from his beginning season interviews I have seen but now this is becoming a reality.Bagnaia will start at the back although in the MotoGP much different than F1 from where you start does not impact you that much so it is easy to recover here compared to F1 and I think we are going to see a very beautiful race very soon when it starts.

Bagnaia is a talented rider but I think he crashes more often than Bezzechi does so this can be an advantage to Marco Bezzechi for winning the season in the end,I know he is an underdog as I see the odds for him winning the title but I would love to see him succeed.

Mbappe is being linked with some Premier League teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool recently. However I don't think he will join any of them even on loan for one season. Because as long as PSG don't leave him out of squad there is no meaning in Mbappe to join a team that aren't a part of the Champions League.

Hence these teams had better try their luck with making a permanent deal offer instead. But still their chance might not be that high if Mbappe has really agreed with Real Madrid verbally. But if there is no such agreement then I would love to see some rivalry for signing Mbappe this summer already.  Grin

I read that the president of Chelsea and the president of PSG had a discussion about this. Mbappe was also keen on the idea of ​​playing Chelsea on loan for a year. Probably this loaning will take place, next year we can get the news of the transfer of Real Madrid. If both PSG's chairman and Mbappe want this transfer, the chances of it happening will be very high Smiley

It would be nice seeing Mbappe playing for a team like Chelsea who had a lot and I mean a lot of trouble and problems last season at the point that they are not playing anywhere in the European competitions.I think that Mbappe can make a huge difference in a team like Chelsea and one year playing on loan at Chelsea before going to Real Madrid will mature him even further as honestly the Premier League is a much stronger competition than the French Ligue 1.It can be beneficial to him as a player and to Chelsea as a team so if this happens it would be a great move for both of them.

Leclerc so-called wants to play a big role in Ferrari to return to their old days. But is this really worth the risk of not being champions in his career for many more years? But on the other hand I'm trying to understand his choice as well. Because currently the only place in which he could have a chance to be competitive for the title is Red Bull.

But would Red Bull like to have Leclerc while in presence of Verstappen? I don't think so. Red Bull just want a second driver who can comply with the team well and who doesn't fall too far behind their first driver. Leclerc can't fit that description as he wants to be competitive for the title.

If he leaves Ferrari he needs to go to a team that he will be cared about as much as the other driver of that team.
People are reacting as if he has a choice. The only team that has a big chance to win the title is Red Bull right now, that is very much obvious and they have Max as their first driver who gets the wins, the best chance Charles would have could be becoming the second driver and takes Checos place, do you think Charles would give up first seat at Ferrari and go be the second driver at Red Bull?

Mclaren got better only recently, Aston Martin started great became worse, Mercedes does alright but not that much better than Ferrari right now, there isn2t a team that Charles could leave and start winning. This is literally his best position right now, there is no offer on the table for him to go to and start winning.

That may look like that as if the choice is dictated by the situation.The fact though is that Redbull would have no real reason as why to stop Leclerc,Leclerc is not Perez and as soon as he will have the possibility he is going to win races with Redbull but I agree though,most likely he won't go there and fight with Max.

McLaren if it continues like that,only upgrading and performing better and better from now and even next year then it may be a good choice for Leclerc to try and win a title hopefully with another legendary team,he had his time at Ferrari and it did not go well,he deserve a winning car and I hope he joins one team who will give him the chance to win races and why not a title.

Gambling can bring great revenue to the governments but I don't see any benefits to the societies,in fact it can only bring really bad things,like in the country where I live from some years where at a certain time a lot of people became addicted in the sense that they could not stay without gambling and they were spending money they could not afford to lose like money they get for food and other important money.At a certain point the government intervened and ban all of the offline gambling while letting only online ones,a few to play,so I don't see any other benefits except taxes to the government while for society can have more harm than benefit.

It's always have potential
- Race
- Bonud drop link
- Bonus drop claim

Always these three, but based on the previous2 birthday my guess will be (bonus drop link/drop claim amount in telegram or twitter). That's the most things they're gonna to do, feel free for people who want to follow these one.

Don't forget to waggering, because the drop is always have minimum wagger at least 10,000$.

I don't know if it has anything to do with their birthday but getting 8 dollars weekly is a good amount for a mere Bronze VIP like me.Sure I have wagered a lot but I have done so also in the previous weeks and only got 0.015 dollar as bonus weekly,maybe it is because I also deposited and lost about 3-4 deposits although my wagering has been the usual,like 1500-5000 dollars wagered amount weekly.

Based on what happened today I am expecting some really nice monthly bonus this time at least 18 dollars or whatever the maximum for my rank is.

Just now saw on the poll that there are 3 users who voted for less than 30%. Must be pro gamblers or addicts as they can only use maximum  30 percent of their salary for gambling. In general most of us voted for the 5% base but in real life scenario that would exceed to 10% easily. It is hard to keep a track of the amount when you are playing and most of the times most fail to restrict themselves and do exceed the gambling budget. Only a disciplined gambler shoes bank roll is handled by someone else can restrict themselves from going above the benchmark.

We all voted for 5% but the reality is that we all exceed it very easily as the rage and the emotions of the gambling session can dictate us to further and much further some times yet the 30% of the salary is a huge amount to be playing in gambling.Let's take the average German net salary of 2500 EUR and that is 750 EUR to gamble,that 30% some people have voted here,of course they must be either pro gamblers or addicts but mostly pro as addicts can easily play all their salary in gambling in a very short amount of time and not have a sense of what they have just done.Self discipline can be learned only through bad experiences and hard ships and only these people can stay at their predetermined amount set away for gambling.

As far as I know Hamilton has stated before that he wants to race for five more years in Formula 1. But this still doesn't guarantee one thing that Hamilton will continue and end his career at Mercedes. He has also been linked with rumours like he might join Ferrari. They are just entering this news on some websites regularly.

On the other hand Hamilton refuted these rumours before by saying that he was in talks with Mercedes for a contract extension already.

In short things are really complicated now as there are rumours saying different things everywhere.  Grin

5 more years?

Well, I guess in this sport you have a longer longevity, especially if you have a good car I guess you can still win at 45 years old.

Look at Alonso, he was very competitive this year when Aston Martin was decent.

Yes in this sport despite the reflexes coming down dramatically with the age moving forward you can still have some chances when the car that you drive is one of the best or better the best of the grid which can also give you chances to win races.I don't think though that Hamilton will win any race at 45 year old even if he has the best car,the driving skills come down dramatically as I said but during the time when he will be 40 next year until 43 he may have good chances though to win a race.

Alonso unfortunately I don't know if it is because Aston got down in performance or because of him not finding anymore motivation but I believe to be Aston down on performance as also Stroll suffers right now.

Yeah thank you first for the kind words.I was exchanging my ZIL to Bitcoin in order to make the money and I have made an error,I needed a bit more time to exchange them because they were recently unstaked from the wallet I hold them.So rather than rushing I will be paying before just the start of the tournament on August 9-10 max as I said.

I also had a heavy lost amount in Sweet Bonanza which I am not that well recovered yet but the funny thing with these providers is the same,as soon as you raise the bet,money gone in an instant.

After the break began we started to have speculations about drivers right away.

Leclerc is speculated to be signing a new contract with Ferrari soon. It is reported to be at least two years and there might be an option to extend it more as well. Despite all that problems at Ferrari he still wants to fight for Ferrari's success seemingly. I don't know if he is doing the right thing to be honest. Because it is really difficult to predict if Ferrari would change in the future. They need to take important steps to put an end to this nonsense mistakes once and for all.

I don't think it will be the right choice for him,or he will be another "sacrificed" driver of the so many who have been doing the same thing and I can name big names here like,Irvine,Vettel and Alonso who spent several years at Ferrari when Ferrari was even better than now and could not win the title.I think it would be the best for him to wait and to just extend for one year more with Ferrari and not two years while by doing so he will have more opportunities for him as he is still a relatively young driver and having chances to move to a better car is always to have so I would suggest him that.

It seems everything is now done and Joško Gvardiol is going to join Manchester City in the next season, Gvardiol was under contract with Leipzig until 2027 and the first offer Manchester City sent was rejected because Leipzig because they asked for 100m but finally, Gvardiol transfer done with 90m and this player is not the most expensive defender, I think Guardiola wanted to improve their defensive line and they did it but hiring this Croatian player from Leipzig.


Josko Gvardiol is a defender who can be relied on enough, he also has a very good game to withstand attacks from opponents in every match he participates in with Leipzig.
When joining Manchester City, maybe the defense will get stronger considering that last season Manchester City had a poor defense line, so with Josko Gvardiol it is hoped that it can strengthen the defense of the Manchester City squad.

But Pep also has to think about their midfield considering that if the attack and defense only rely on a few players it still seems unsatisfactory and can still have gaps that are detrimental for every game.
I admit that Gvardiol has had a good performance at Leipzig and maybe it would have been better if he had joined Man City to strengthen the defense even more, but I dont agree when you say that Man City current defense is very bad because I see that Man City defense has been Very good but I dont know what makes you say its bad.

one hand Pep do not want to overhaul his players too much because for Guardiola all the current Man City players are perfect to compete consistently in the summer. well, maybe some have been replaced but Pep is always careful with this because changing too many players will take a long time to adapt again on one side of Man City goal this season to get a trophy in the UCL again.
I can say that Manchester City's defense has gotten a little worse because in every match last season Manchester City still has a history of conceding goals with a number that is not just 1 goal in every match, even though I admit they managed to bring 3 trophies at once.
I was still dissatisfied with Manchester City's defense last season and I hope that when Gvardiol joins Manchester City they can further strengthen their defense so that it is not easy to be broken down by opponents' attacks in every game.

Well, I understand that Pep is an experienced coach and of course he will always consider and be careful for every decision, but changing one player to get a better game is not a wrong decision in my opinion.

I think that is normal for a team which dominates in offensive football,defense is not their strongest point,the fact though that they won 3 trophies out of 3 last season says a lot about this team.For me though I think it was Arsenal failure rather than an achievement from them in the Premier League because Arsenal was at some point of the season 9 points ahead of City and they could not manage this distance,while for the other trophies it is a maximum achievement with their own effort of Manchester City.

Now no matter how weak their defense is as long as they have the strongest devastating attack,it will not be a problem for them.

^  Lol.  Cheesy  That's always the case almost every year with the dominant teams.  If Mercedes was leading, other teams would find an issue, if it's Ferrari it's the same case.  It's really getting pretty old.  I mean why would RBR deliberately cheat?  Adrian Newey prolly found a loop hole in the spec rules and designed the car around it.

And I wouldn't be surprised if it's Toto Wolff getting riled up with it if there really was an issue with RBR's car.  Grin  And if it's really nothing, it's prolly just some journos trying to get some rumor going as they need to eat.  The season is getting really boring.

Season has already ended for me and many other fans so nothing boring anymore,I know that Verstappen in normal conditions can win all races without problems,not even Safety Car or heavy rain can stop him as we have seen during this time,the only thing which can stop him is a mechanical or electrical failure,which so far has not happened.

Other teams now are trying to find these "cheats" in Redbull car as they cannot otherwise fight against them and I have said this before,Adrian Newey has been in F1 from many years winning titles with McLaren and Redbull,so he is a great aerodynamics engineer and his experience in F1 is hard to match,pair it with a good driver like Verstappen and it is over the season  Grin.

No, Arsenal seems difficult if you want to fight for the Champions League title.
Arsenal themselves don't have a good history when playing in the Champions League and they have to get rid of many of the strong clubs that exist in order to reach the final to fight for the championship trophy.

But this is an extraordinary achievement where Arsenal can finish the Premier League as runners-up and have a Champions League ticket which has been 7 years they have not competed in the Champions League.
Arsenal began to show their ambition to win several prestigious trophies after changing the club's philosophy from bringing in young players and then selling them back after high prices to a club that was more generous in spending money in the transfer market to bring in quality players. The latest breakthrough made by Arsenal has put them as EPL Runners up last season, their increasing performances will have a good impact in the UCL this season, moreover Arteta has succeeded in strengthening his team with the arrival of several new players in the transfer market.
Based on history in the Champions League, Arsenal is not a team capable of giving competition in the title race. The strength that Arteta has succeeded in forming this season cannot be underestimated, Arsenal will try to compete with other teams to achieve success in the UCL even though they know it is not easy to bring home the UCL trophy.
It is true that Arsenal's management has taken very good actions for their players and also their club's finances, now Arsenal have managed to become a fairly strong club in the Premier League and have managed to prove that they also have abilities or strengths that can surprise everyone.
That doesn't mean that Arsenal can get away with it until they reach the Champions League final because they haven't played in the Champions League for a long time, so they need to adapt to the game against quite a lot of the strongest clubs in every existing league.

It looks like the last time Arsenal made it to the Champions League final and only managed to finish as runners-up was in the 2005/06 season.
Arsenal have improved in the last few seasons and it must be admitted that now Arsenal have returned to being stronger, last season was clear evidence when they managed to become runners up in the Premier League and competed very tightly with Man City to win the title even though Arsenal failed but aa what they've shown all season is very good.
And for next season they have also made several changes to improve the quality of the team, so I think the current Arsenal team is indeed quite calculated to be able to compete tightly in the UCL next season.

In the Premier League was absolutely 101% fault of Arsenal themselves losing the title by underestimating their opponents in the last leg of the season,they were 9 points ahead of City and lose them all.

In Champions League I am sure they will be showing the good football they played and I predict for them to go further and be a contender to at least the semi final in my opinion.I am sure they will not repeat the huge mistake they did last season in Europa League against Sporting and will be sure to beat such teams of this level without problems,and even better teams,they simply have the players and means to do so.

If they do something special, like "world cup visa team" type of deal, where people would apply for a visa outside of regular reasons and just for the world cup, they got in maybe like at max a few days before the world cup starts and leaves after a few days it ends, that type of special situations?

The next world cup will attract a lot of visitors, because unlike las world cup, the US is a freer state to have fun in that Qatar was.

Also, with how the MLS is becoming more popular and trending every day in the news since Messi joined them and they have been winning each game, even in the United States, there will be a larger audience that will become interested in the world cup game they know as soccer because of the influence of the big players that have moved to the MLS. There will be a lot of travels for games even by citizens of the country and the government needs to be prepared for it.
It's also  a lot more closer to culture of football fans than Qatar was. It's not about having a different culture, or banning some stuff, it's about the fans and what their culture was, and "respect my culture" is not a good way of branding "we will not allow you to do this" because that's just changing words but also doing the same thing.

If you do not allow people to drink beer while watching the game, you lose half of the people already, that's literally one of the most common things everyone does, and just saying "respect my culture" by banning beer drinking, well you end up with white clothed Arabic people watching and no one else coming to visit. They set out to make a good advertisement for their nation and spent 200 billion (doubtful) and managed to ruin their reputation instead.

Absolutely.The US held World Cup was brilliantly held in 1994 when the technology and infrastructure was not as advanced as is now although the freedom even there was the same in the USA.I don't care much what Qatar did and if they ruined their reputation or not but overall I think they made their country well known into the world as no one would know Qatar without this event,no one would know this well about Qatar without this event.

In the countries where it will be held in 2026 it will be one of the most beautiful World Cups ever as the fans are awesome in these countries,and even their national leagues,mainly MLS has become a major sport in US while in 1994 was not that big.
