1161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 08, 2024, 03:32:36 PM
So, do you have the courage to do that?
$50 has different values to different gamblers in different locations of the world. The song gamblers $50 is a very small amount that they can risk due to the value that their currency has but to others trying to bet or gamble with $50 will be irresponsible gambling to them, and it would mean that they are using more money to gamble than they can afford to lose which is what is being advised against in this forum from one gambler to another gambler. Bet $50 if you know that you can risk it and do not try it if you know that you cannot risk that amount.
I came across a thread that was discussing among the rich and the poor who loses money more in gambling. The majority of the people in the thread agreed that the rich loses more money than the poor in gambling. I did not agree with them however on that very premise because I decided to look at the whole matter from the other way around which majority of the posters did not consider. If a man who earns $10,000 daily loses $5,000 to gambling it will not affect him but we dispected us will see it that he has lost a huge amount of money. In the other hand another man who earns $30 daily and eventually loses $100 to gambling, we will not regard it that it is a huge amount of money that is lost but to the gambler they have lost very much amount of money. This is why before we make conclusions we must surely understand the level and the ability of the gambler to end much money than they can lose.

Bringing some ideology to this trend should make us to understand that a rich person can easily afford 50 dollars for a spin of 42 million dollars while a poor man would not try it at all because if it's fails they might go hungry for the rest of the week. In conclusion gambling is very much subjective and that is why you should not put yourself in another man's shoe in whatever way during gambling or emotionally the other man could be stronger than you.

If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.
It could be that any day we begin to see gambling as an investment instead of an opportunity to be unduly rich, that is when we will begin to make good profit from gambling without having to lose all we have or being emotionally affected. In an everyday investment if someone manages to have a return of investment up to 20% of their capital, that would be regarded as a very good investment by the person. But in gambling someone will win 300% of their capital and it still seem like they have not won enough.

End of the day I have learn as a gambler if you are addected with it it's very bad habit and hearmful for you economical condition. If you learn properly and play it cold mind then that could be a game changer for your life. Because if you take stape cleverly then there is high chance to win and the claver wining can chenge your life. That's the reason take stape in cold mind and thinking.
You are mindset is also the mindset of thousand of gamblers which make them not to quit even when they are losing money than expected. Their mindset will be that the next gamble could be their turn to win and become heavily rich. But on a second thought they forget that things can go wrong uncontrollably.
1163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 08, 2024, 03:07:07 PM
I do not like thread that are long already. I prefer threads that is not more than 1 page long. I went through a long thread this time, some people are quoting me on the thread about who loses more to gambling and I read some replies only to find out that most people are saying rich people are likely to make money than poor people in gambling.

This is the thread
Why the rich win gambling more than the poor.
I thought that you would have accompanied this post with a poll, that is when you will get the exact opinion of the people on this thread. If you go randomly through the conversation you will get many contradictions and besides many people do not answer such questions according to their life experience, rather they make general assumptions and put together some posts that seems to be connected in order to complete their campaign quota. Although, I followed up the thread that you referend here and I think many people dished out their unbiased opinion about the topic. Even if the topic seems verse and not straightforward.

I think general discussion tells this and yeah our own experience as well ,  lets make a poll
and sure most voters will be poorer than the richer and i am one of those and like those whom I met in chatrooms ,
mostly small roller and only few that can be considered as rich gambler so that will tell us about poorer losses more
than rich people. but in the end of the day? rich or poor are loser because indeed that the house always wins.
While some people seems not to understand the situation on ground or in other words are contradicting themselves is because they do not understand the real matter, rather they are approaching the topic from the peripheral  aspect of it. The only way to know who loses more in gambling is to know the person that is impacted more if they lose gambling, and from all indication it is the poor that suffers more if they lose, that is why I think the odd is against the poor
1164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 08, 2024, 02:55:00 PM
A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day. The image below says it all.

From my own perspective, I will not be comfortable seeing my mother or grandmother or any other elderly person from my family gambling in such a way and in the public eyes. No matter how things has turned to be this time around, gambling is highly rated as an unethical business in my country and those who are involved in it how with less respect in the society. Why I have this feeling is because I am not that much involved in gambling this time around, and again I believe that when someone is going extreme in gambling it is the mother or the grandmother or in some cases the wife who will have to call them back and tell them to be moderated. But if the person that is supposed to caution you when you are going extreme in gambling is the one that is involved in gambling know that things are not right.

Grandma used to gamble, but only occasionally, mom is the same way. They only bet on the lottery and its variations, as they don't engage in other types of gambling like card games. I don't worry about their gambling habits because they only spend a small amount, and they're not addicted to it. It's their right to gamble, as long as it doesn't cause problems or stress. But have you ever asked them why they gamble? They might have their reasons, maybe they're just bored or something. Of course, the hope of winning or hitting the jackpot is always there.
I like the perspective you are coming. This is a free world and in the premise of freedom anyone can do whatever they wish they do in as much as it does not affect their neighbors. If your mom and Grandma gamble and they do not do it in such a way that you bring shame to the farm only there is not in wrong with it. Let's believe that they are having fun and as well trying out their luck to be rich from gambling.

Today there are rumors that are still hard to believe because Kylian Mbappe is willing to join Real Madrid in the summer. Maybe there are still many of us who don't believe that this rumor is true, but considering that the person who reported it was one of the credible journalists from France, namely Santi Aouna, then this is true. Some people also think that Santi Aouna's report was quite influential regarding Kylian Mbappe's survival last season at PSG so that people started to worry that the news reported by Santi Aouna would really happen in the summer.

Now it's still not clear to see and everyone is still waiting for "Here we go" from Fabrizio Romano and I think that also makes perfect sense considering that only he can be used as a benchmark for a successful transfer. But let's just see, if Santi Aouna's report is corroborated by Fabrizio Romano, we will definitely see the results this summer.
The news of Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid isn't surprising to me because the France international have in many occasions disclosed his admiration for the Spanish giants and his desire to play for them in the future. He was supposed to join the club last summer before he was stopped by his current club Paris Saint Germaine. Now that the news of his proposed move to Real Madrid have finally reached this stage, I think it'll be almost impossible not to see the deal finally materialize.

Real Madrid have been playing their games this season without recognized striker because their former captain ahd striker Karim Benzema left the club last summer while the club failed to sign his replacement. It was reported that Real Madrid refusal to sign another striker was because they wanted no other than Kylian Mbappe and should the France national team captain finally reaches final agreement to Madrid, then it'll surely be a great match for Madrid. If Mbappe becomes a Real Madrid striker coupled with the current quality players at the club, the club I think will become almost unplayable.

Bayern Munich has got a really experienced coach and so Leverkusen should be weary of not loosing a point because if they do at this point Bayern Munich will stop at nothing to getting back at the top of the table and reclaiming back their dominance in the Bundesliga this season which I'm sure is one of their greatest wishes this season.
Bayern Leverkusen has really prove to Bayern Munich that there performance can be challenge because Bayern Leverkusen performance on this league is very remarkable and they have made a quite improvement in this league which has given them the privilege of lasting this long the first position of the league table, so considering there performance and also there points different with Bayern Munich, I take Bayern Munich alot of time to meet Bayern Leverkusen in times of point because Bayern Leverkusen currently have 42 points while Bayern Munich has 38 points, so they will still need to win up to two matches before they can be able to beat Bayern Leverkusen but however the chances of Bayern Leverkusen losing any match is not certain because there performance is very impressive.
I love the fact that the German Bundesliga gage been extremely competitive since the start of the season. The defending champions Bayern Munich have dominated the league for over the last decade as they've won it in each of the last eleven seasons but Bayer Leverkusen have surprisingly been leading the league for so long this season and are still trying to make sure they win the league at the end of the season. Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel isn't new to competitive competition like the Bundesliga this season and would definitely fight for the title till the of the season.

Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso on his own is a young manager but his ability to have significantly improve the performance of Leverkusen since he took over the managerial position of the club tells how good is manager he is. Considering the performance of the two teams, I think it might take the last match week of the week to decide who becomes the league champion

Seems like Al itihad still dont find the path, i dont know why, because they ahve two great coachs but seems like the players dont fit in the ideas of them. three loses in a row is so much for a team with mega stars, and that loses were against weak teams in the preview.
Although Al Ittihad has great coaches, they can't optimize the potential of Al Ittihad players. They don't understand how to make Benzema to play as the right machine goal. If they could make Benzema to play in his best level, I'm sure Al Ittihad won't be experiencing those losses. At least, Al Ittihad must win against weaker teams. It is very annoying to see Al Ittihad got losses against the team like Al Raed, Damac, and Al Shabab. Al Ittihad is much better than those teams, Al Ittihad has everything to destroy those teams.

I think Al Ittihad needs to rebuild their squad and change the coach as well. But it must be in the new season, they shouldn't do it until the end of this season.


Al Ittihad worries me right now. Benzema, for example. He was a powerhouse in Europe, but here he's lost his mojo. I think coaching is to blame. Instability there is hurting players, notably Benzema. Its frustrating to see talent wasted.

I've heard of the club's internal tensions, which fuels the fire. This must be resolved by the owner. I think a new coach, preferably European, could fix problems. But it must be done properly without producing further disruption. The situation is difficult and will take time to resolve. Something must change or they will keep getting poor results.
Just like many other top clubs in the Saudi Arabian League, Al Ittihad also signed some big European players including former World Cup winner Ngolo Kante and former Balon D'ior & five times UEFA Champions League winner Karim Benzema.  But unlike the other clubs who also signed European based players, Al Ittihad have not been impressive and competitive this season. Their big striker Karim Benzema have failed to live up to expectations this season with his new club and that's giving the club fans so much concerns

They're currently sitting in the seventh position of the league table and 28 points behind league leaders Al Hilal which makes it almost impossible for them to win the league title this season but they must significantly improve their performance to finish the season in a better position than their current position

Mourinho's ability to think outside the box and his dedication to improving Roma have earned him widespread admiration and countless expressions of appreciation. Jose mourinho sometimes was doing crazy thing like using the non sense strategy like when it faced a low tier club in copa italia.
Roma is lucky enough to have mourinho on its side caused by he was helping the club to win so many trophies. I can't even imagine roma without him. Roma will not able to win conference league without him.

It has been very long time since roma was winning the trophy and mourinho makes it happen. This is a very good situation for roma to bring another trophy for the club again. I do appreaciate what he was doing in roma and it's all giving a huge impact to the club.
I can't even imagine when roma must be playing without being coached by mourinho. The club might find itself in a situation where it is unable to progress, and this is a matter that I have been giving thought to.
Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts.

 The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.
Without Jose Mourinho as the manager of AS Roma, I don't think Roma would be regarded much as one of the top sides in this season's UEFA Europa League competition but because of the managerial experience and abilities of the Portuguese manager, many people of already considering them as major contenders to win the competition this season. Last season, AS Roma reached the final of the competition before they were beaten by Spanish club Sevilla which was the first ahd only time Jose Mourinho lost an European final. Roma are still on course to reach the final again this season and I'm very optimistic that they're very likely to win if Roma should reach the final again.

This season's campaign of the UEFA Europa League competition is more rougher than that of last season because two other high performing clubs are playing in the competition. Liverpool who are at the top of the English Premier League table and Bayer Leverkusen who are also at the top of the German Bundesliga are two clubs that's been back by majority including bookmakers to win the competition this season but with Jose Mourinho as Roma's manager, I think they have a very good chance of winning it as well
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 08, 2024, 11:58:48 AM
`beat them.

Real Madrid has always been good at adopting talented young players. As if they could see the potential of this young player from the start. Losing Benzema was also not a problem for Real Madrid because his position was successfully covered by Vini Jr and Bellingham. Now we can also hope for the presence of A. Guler as a potential future great player at Real Madrid. The debut in the Real Madrid vs Arandina match in the Copa Del Rey was also an extraordinary debut for A. Guler. He was given quite a lot of time, namely he played from the beginning of the first half to the middle of the second half. Even though he didn't score. But its appearance is quite striking.

Now I wonder if A.Guler will also play in the Semi final match of the Spanish Super Cup. Because if he plays again then I think he can contribute more. It's just that this match will be more difficult because the opponent they face is Atletico Madrid. I think if Ancelotti plays Arda Guler then maybe it will only at the end of the match if Real Madrid is already in a safe position in that match.
I agree. Like they can see future stars with a sixth sense. Their technique of mixing veterans with young players like A. Guler is impressive. Im hesitant about Guler participating in the Spanish Super Cup Semi-final. He did well against Arandina, but Atletico Madrid is different. If Real Madrid has a comfortable lead, Ancelotti may play it safe and substitute Guler. I trust in Guler's talent, but such a high-stakes game could be overwhelming for a rookie player.

I think Real Madrid's strength is their player selection and planned team rotations. Their management of Benzema's absence shows their ability to prevent over-reliance on key players. Stepping up against Atletico Madrid demands ability and expertise. Guler deserves more playing time, but introducing him gradually in high-pressure contests may be better
Real Madrid is one club in the Spanish La Liga club that's been very exceptionally consistent this season both in the domestic competitions and as well as in Europe and are one of the only two clubs that were able to win all their games in the group stage of the UEFA champions league. But what's even more surprising to Real Madrid's impressive run this season is the fact that they lost a big player like Karim Benzema who was the club's captain as well as their top 9 striker last summer and couldn't get a replacement but didn't allow that to stop them from having a good performance since the start of the season.

The club's manager Carlo Ancelotti is one man that's very good in his managerial approaches as his continuous rotation of the club's players since the start of the season has immensely aided them in staying consistent in all the competitions they're involved this season.  They have a crucial game Spanish Super Cup game against Atletico Madrid in Wednesday and considering the performance of both teams, I expect Real Madrid to conquer their city rivals in that particular game.

Before you could see this it is assumed she has been doing this for long even before getting to this stage of life, well to me it means nothing or I don't see any crime in gambling except for the fact that she looks very exhaustive showing her bad side of the gambling attitude.

I bet you that if she was making profits there will be no day anyone will judge her rather her fellow women would loved to join her to be making same prediction, currently it looks so abominable why because of her current outlook and situation at hand maybe who knows if she was on a win people could have surrounded her wanting her to share game with them.

Let us not conclude whatever we might see from afar without knowing what the real case could be.
Different people I know have their own different ways of reasoning and ways of judging certain issues which I think is also valid irrespective of the fact that it doesn't tally with my own opinion. Gambling I believe should be played by young people who are still single and in their youthful ages and not parents who have birthed kids that are aged enough like me to know the advantages and disadvantages of gambling.

Parenting comes with a lot of responsibilities and most of the responsibilities relies on the financially strength for them to be solved and if a mother can engage in gambling, it's very likely to drain her financially thereby leaving her financially incapacitated to solve some of the problems of the family. If for any reason I happen to my elderly mother gambling, I'll be extremely worried and would do everything within my strength to make sure she stops gambling and anything that's related to it. I won't be doing that to stand my authority as her son but because I don't want her to go bankrupt in the future because of gambling.

I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.
From the part of the world you are chatting from there is an African adage which says that a thief has no shame but the relatives of the thief is the one that bears the shame of the thief. That is also what happens in gambling. The person addicted hardly understand that they are addicted but it is the relatives that understands that the gambler is addicted and looks for solution.

This is the reason why it is advisable to anyone to listen to their relatives and not necessarily their gambling mates when they are going too deep in gambling. This is because your family are the ones that will tell you your true image in the eyes of the people.

Agree. He is already 38 years old, it is no longer an ideal age for a footballer. Yes, in this age, many footballers already retire from their career. Meanwhile Ronaldo still has a good ambition to be the best player in SPL and he still contributed well for Al Nassr. Scoring above 50 goals is something extraordinary for a 38 years old player. So, he actually already did good work for Al Nassr.
Sometimes I fold my arms and wonder how football will turn out to be without the presence of these big names. Al Nassr should be thanking their stars they signed Ronaldo and he single-handedly deliver the team in crucial moments, alot of things he has done, creating and breaking records which he's popularly known for. Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer for SPL and also lead in 2023 as top goal scorer on the leaderboard and in all this he's 38 years old. A genius in football weigh beyond the level of his teammates, infact they're learning from him in all games he featured.
Cristiano Ronaldo's presence at Al Nassr isn't just beneficial to the club only but to the entire Saudi Arabian league. His presence has significantly improved the quality of the league and have made more people all over the globe where not even interested in the Saudi Arabian league in the last to now love almost everything in the Saudi league.

He's a been great influence to Al Nassr in particular and to the Saudi Arabia league in general. At 38, Cristiano Ronaldo was still able to score 54 goals last year which was the highest by any player in world football and still isn't showing any sign of decline this new year. He's currently at the top of the chart for top goalscorer in the Saudi Pro League and hopefully he's gonna help his club win a

I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,


I have met this kind of people in real life several times. Whereby what they do most times differ from their personality. You might see them as people who are so cool and they could not even kill an ant, but when there is a fight you will see the beast in them. I have never seen such in gambling, whereby someone who appears not to be able to take a risk begin to gamble more than they can afford to lose. What I have witness is someone who always pretend not to have money and is not willing to spend money whenever he is with his pair group. Whenever it concerns gambling or something to his personal life he will spend more than expected. I don't now if this category of persons belong to what you describe as alter ego. If yes, that means I have witnessed them but I don't have that character. I am always myself, I don't fake it and I am always real to myself.

Manchester City benefits greatly from De Bruyne's return. The man is creative and skilled. It's clear they miss him and Haaland. Their absence has cost City points, clearly. De Bruyne's return will boost the team, especially in big games. I'm doubtful he'll recover quickly. Long-term injuries can be physically and mentally taxing. For Haaland, patience is crucial. I know everyone wants him back, but health comes first. Gundogan has played well, but De Bruyne's return will give City's midfield that extra spark

The greatest news of Manchester City supporters today in their English FA Cup game wasn't that they were able to beat Huddersfield and reach the next round of the competition rather it was the return of their club captain kelvin De Bruyne wgi has been sidelined since last year August. The benefits of Manchester City in the return of Kelvin De Bruyne is enormous if you ask me and one of the best among all the benefits of his return to full action is that he'll start to create many more chances for the team to score just like he provided Jeremy Doku.

City are almost unplayable whenever Kelvin De Bruyne is on his best mood. Also Jeremy Doku is back to action after over one month of absence because of injury and that'll provide Manchester City manager more options to chose from when the UEFA champions league makes a comeback in February
1175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 07, 2024, 10:27:09 PM
It's very important to recognize that the choice between online and offline gambling doesn't determine a set spending limit. Surprisingly, some individuals tend to engage in more gambling activities offline than they do online, and both avenues carry similar risks.

For someone struggling with a gambling addiction, the mode of play won't necessarily deter them. They may find ways to fund their online account or continue gambling locally. While having the convenience of funding your betting account can make it more accessible to place bets at any time, it also presents the risk of developing an addiction. Moreover, relying on the funds already available in your gambling account may contribute to a cycle of continuous betting, potentially leading to more significant losses over time. 

 Sometimes playing offline can be a forced decision, since in some cases players face some restrictions, for example, the player is limited to the maximum bet and the player has to look for offline bookmakers, who are willing to accept his bet.
Nowadays this is not so common, since each player has the opportunity to register at different casinos, but before this was not so accessible and other solutions had to be found. If online does not require verification, then there is no problem to play online, but if it is important for a player to maintain confidentiality and this can only be done in offline betting, then the choice will be obvious.
Both online and offline method of gambling has their advantages and disadvantages. When it is about curing someone who is addicted you can see it as this;

Offline solutions
Under this, the relatives of the addicted gambler can meet the offline casino and caution them not to allow the victim gamble again;
They can even travel the victim out of the environment that the casino is located.

Online solution
This is difficult because there are ways to maneuver and still gamble. Even if you black list the IP of the victim, the may get a VPN to change their location and continue to gamble. It is risker online than offline to control.

Manchester City are said to be waiting for the summer to make a move for Kimmich. But do they really need another defensive player now? I don't know about that especially after their most recent transfers. There are five centre-backs in the squad now - Dias, Gvardiol, Akanji, Ake and Stones. Rodri and Nunes are also alternatives at the back of the midfield.

There are some other midfielders who can play at the back as well. So they have nothing more than defensive players now. Kimmich is a player who can be used as a centre-back and defensive midfielder both. I wonder whether Guardiola thinks of replacing Kimmich with someone else.
Undoubtedly, Manchester City have many options when it comes to the positions of the center backs and also have defensive players in their squad but let's not forget that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola have worked with Joshua Kimmich in his days as Bayern Munich manager and that's I thi he knows what is best for his team. I think the report of Joshua Kimmich transfer to Manchester City is still not official but if it should, then I think there's every possiblity that Kimmich will want to sign for them.

Should Joshua Kimmich join Manchester City during the Winter or the summer transfer window I think it'll bring more quality to the Manchester City team and make them more difficult to play against.

I think the absence of a solid finisher is one of the factors dragging them down from their title chance in the Premier League. There is an option available in the transfer market too actually - Guirassy.  Smiley
Although Arteta will attempt to hire more productive strikers so that Arsenal will be stronger than before, it will be better for Arsenal if he can carry out his plans. Since Arsenal's performance these days is rather lacking, to be honest. I believe the acquisition will be beneficial to Arsenal, as Gabriel Jesus Nketiah has performed admirably in the Premier League this season. Before they risk injury, they must acquire extra strikers in order to complete the season.
I do not in any way regard Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah as unproductive strikers. Those are good strikers with good strength and young. Theses strikers will perform different under different coaches. So, not performing optimally under Arteta doesn't make them unproductive strikers. Even the allegations that they are not performing well is your personal opinion and not a collective idea.

Besides, in this present transfer window. Strikers are hard to get and any club that has a good goal scorer does whatever is possible to keep them. This is the reason a club like Real Madrid is yet to have a top striker.

I proud to finally watch Arda Güler in the Real Madrid jersey. We have been waiting for this moment as a country for a long time and he really gave a performance that would satisfy everyone and he did his best.

If that freekick goal had been scored, it would have been an incredibly magical start. I expect a good goal from him as soon as possible. He is a master of the game, he is not afraid, he is willing, these are very important talents to stay in the squad.
Talents are rare gems and we know the players that have symbolized to become great in football close to the nearest future. Talents are needed in football this current day, I've watch my team grown to become one of the elite club in the past years but currently struggling. Now is the time for these players to start settling for good scores in the system. Real Madrid have added another range of starlets to the club, this players are young and have the require qualities to push better. Arda Güler made his debuts for his new club and he's a promising young talented player, Carlo Ancelotti will see what he can do for him in the future.
A lot of Real Madrid fans across the globe will be very happy with the fact that Arda Guler has finally played his first game for Real Madrid after months of signing for the Spanish giants. I watched highlights of the game and from the performance of the Turkey international I think he's gonna succeed at Real Madrid. He possess all the qualities that's needed to become a great player for the club in the future which I think he'll definitely want to be in future time.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is one man that knows how to rotate his squad and still make them to be effective and as an attacking midfielder, Guler I think will have playing times that'll help him improve significantly under Carlo Ancelotti

It was a huge win for Liverpool and I feel sorry for Arsenal for their early exit from the tournament. Arsenal are lacking a good stricker and they need to get that settle immediately if they are to change their fortune anytime soon.
For me, it is not a big win but it is surely an important win. Liverpool only scored 2 goals during the match, they also actually didn't dominate the match. However, they are lucky that they could score 2 goals in the match. Arsenal more dominated the match, they created more chances in scoring goals. But Arsenal fails to score a single goal, we can assume Arsenal players has lack of accuracy in shooting. If they have good accuracy, Arsenal may score many goal during the match.


In my own opinion, I think it was an important win and also a big win for Liverpool because it's actually not easy to beat a strong English Premier League club like Arsenal. It was a very difficult game for both sides as the two clubs searched for a win in the game but it was Liverpool who first found the net after Arsenal player scored an own goal.

I think it was game that Liverpool were destined to win if you ask me because had Arsenal converted their own chances, the result of the game might have been different from what we saw today. Liverpool have successfully eliminated Arsenal from the English FA Cup and have progressed to the next round of the competitive.

To help someone steer clear of gambling, I'd highlight the need for a smart gaming plan rather than just relying on optimism. I'd talk about setting practical goals, consider the odds, and suggest trying out other stuff like hobbies. Showing empathy and understanding is crucial to help them make positive changes. I get the appeal of hitting it big in gambling, but let's be real that relying on luck alone isn't a solid plan for long-term success. Successful gamblers have strategies, like a gaming system and risk management.  It's not about shutting down your dreams, but finding a better, more balanced way to reach them.
Helping someone steer out of gambling should be based on the level of the concerned person's engagement in gambling because I don't think it's necessary to try help someone who is very responsible in his gambling activities out of gambling but if the person is addicted to gambling, the first move to try help him out if gambling should be the trying to convince him that gambling addiction isn't good and he must stop it. It's only when a gambling addict have accepted to quit gambling that it'll be possible to help talk them out of it. Talking about being strategic, it's very important that a gambler becomes very strategic and logical in his gambling engagements in other to win in gambling and as a gambler that isn't strategic enough, it'll be difficult to win uun gambling.
