When Ronaldo joined this team he was hoping to reach any possible achievement he can reach and have this team win the Saudi league but so far Ronaldo hasn't reached any of these goals which is disappointing for a player like him. I think there is even a chance for Nassr to add more famous players or coaches to help Ronaldo reach these goals.

However, at least Ronaldo won one title in the Arab Club Champions competition some time ago against Al-Hilal and that was the first title Ronaldo managed to win with Al-Nassr. But more than that, the Saudi League title feels special and it will be the title that Ronaldo wants most for Al-Nassr. I think coach Luis Castro is still quite good, but I see that Al-Nassr doesn't have a left winger who can penetrate more into the opponent's defense area and I hope they can find one such player to help Ronaldo in the attack line.
Cristiano Ronaldo helped his Al Nassr side to win the Arab Club Champions Cup at the beginning of the season to mark his first trophy with the club but that isn't enough for the Portuguese star as he's very determined to make sure he win a major honour with Al Nassr this season. Al Nassr has been doing exceptionally well in the both the domestic league as well as in the AFC Champions League. They're currently in the second position of the league table and seven points behind league leaders Al Hilal which I know is a big point difference for Al Nassr to catch up with them but that still doesn't write them off from being a strong contender of the Saudi Pro League title.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently leading the chart for highest goal scorer in the Saudi League this season and that I think goes a long way to show how determined he is to win a major title with the club. Ronaldo might as well end the season without a major trophy but I think he's putting all the necessary work to see his dream of winning a major trophy come to reality.

Nowadays, there is a huge amount of information on the internet about how to play a particular game of chance. You just need to google it. For the especially lazy, there are even YouTube streams.

If you are looking for strategies for the game, then rest assured that none of them do not work as its description suggests. In my opinion, only personal experience can increase the number of wins, but not much as in most gambling luck has a huge role.
I think your suggestion will be the best for a newbie to gamble on instead seeking for a gambling platform on the forum. There are of gambling platforms that are very easy to understand for a newbie to perfectly use them especially online betting companies.
That being said, I also want to suggest that you don't dive in to gambling without getting the basic knowledge of the activity as well as knowing the best precautions that'll help keep you in check as a newbie. A lot gambling addicts today are people who started gambling without a prior knowledge of how gambling works and and when to draw the curtain especially during the moments of loss. So if a gambler doesn't have the basic knowledge of gambling, it's absolutely unwise to start gambling without seeking proper basic knowledge.

I don't know what Harry Maguire has experienced this season until he finally won the EPL best player award for November. This was a turning point for Harry Maguire, who last season was ridiculed, criticized, and even had his career threatened at Manchester United because of a serious blunder he made.

However, he never gave up and was able to prove to his coach and colleagues that he still deserved to be in the Red Devils squad. He has also had competition to get starters and he has also managed to get rid of Raphael Varane in terms of defense. Well, great job Harry Maguire and I hope he can be more stable in helping Manchester United's defense this season.
Harry Maguire has proven that he's a man who's determined to rise above all criticisms and still shine bright again amidst the face of challenges. Because if his poor performance past in the past few season with Manchester United, majority of the club fans have been calling for his departure from the club. During the summer transfer window, he was very close to leave the club but was hindered by the kind of poor financial offers he was getting. Fast forward to less than six months, he's been the club's best defender as well as one of the best defenders in the English Premier League since the start of the season. I'm not a Manchester United fan but I'm very happy for Harry Maguire for his significant improvement since the start of the season.

Now that he's won the the November English Premier League player of the month award, I hope it'll help motivate him the more to produce even more great performances for his club as well as his national team.

Tottenham!
Managed to pull off a dramatic 3-3 draw against the defending Champions Manchester City away from home and then 4 days later lose to West Ham United at home. In the last 5 games, they have lost 4 and drawn one. Tottenham has lost 14 points from winning positions in a game since November 6. This is a fast sinking ship that needs a quick solution before it's too late.
Before Tottenham Hotspur played against Chelsea they were at the top of the English Premier League after ten games in the league but they've picked up just one point from a possible fifteen points in their last five league games. Ange Postecoglou's men are currently the shadow of the Tottenham Hotspur team that produced the impressive results in the first two months of the campaign  that made him win the English Premier League manager of the month in his first two months at the club. Tottenham Hotspur must improve if they really want to still remain in contention for the league title this season but how fast they can improve is what I don't know at the moment.

More rumors today about a possible loan for Sancho to Juventus.

Remember it will be possible only if Manchester will pay a part of his salary, Juventus can probably use the money of Pogba salary due the imminent ban.
Juventus stands to sign him from Manchester United? Probably one of these rumors circulating round. Jadon Sancho have become more aggressive and no longer feature in Manchester United matches due to the problem he has with the headcoach, Erik Ten Hag. We are quite aware of the problem that raised between them and Erik Ten Hag demand an open apology from the player, and Sancho have been recalcitrant since then. Pushing for an exits door from Old Trafford is very possible because he's a potential player that has alot to handle in the frontline, young and promising.

Jadon Sancho should have obeyed and apologised openly to the coach; doing so will not cost him anything. Also, he will not sit on the bench for an extended period of time without playing because this will negatively impact his performance on the field. Jadon Sancho is a promising young player, but his career could have gone rough because he refused to apologise, but he is fortunate to still be a young player with more to offer any team that signs him. His move to Juventus will be fantastic, but I doubt Manchester United will want to loan him out; they'd rather sell him than loan him and I hope Juventus will also agree to buy him rather than having him on loan in the team.
The main cause of the rift between Jadon Sancho and Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag wasn't disclosed to the public as the ones reported to the media are all believed to be mere rumours but whatever might have caused the issue that angered the manager so much that he said Sancho must apologize to be recalled to the first team must have been very humiliating to the club manager hence that level of action. So in my own opinion, I think it was very bad for a player of Sancho's age and standard to refuse to apologize to his trainer.
Hopefully the loan deal to Juventus materializes for the England international to start enjoying top football once again and prepare to prove himself to England national team manager Gareth Southgate that he's good enough to be picked for the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.

I agree with your point, but can't we give Girona some hope in this match? Remember, they've been playing well to maintain their current league position; it won't cost them anything to put in more effort in this match to avoid losing all three points to Barcelona; at the very least, they can settle for a draw in this match if they want to.
Girona are going to make it very difficult for Barcelona. I don't get why people feel they don't stand a chance against Barcelona.. I also believe Barcelona are favorite and they have a better chance to win because they've been getting better recently, but concluding that Girona don't stand a chance is just wrong.
Why I'm anticipating that match is because I believe it would be a very attacking match. Both teams don't sit back and defend. I don't believe Girona would sit back and just allow Barcelona to be comfortable on the ball.

Another match that would be interesting to watch is Betis vs Madrid.
Although Betis is not in top form, they can cause trouble for Madrid. Real Madrid would prefer Girona and Barcelona to draw so they can win Betis and extend their lead further. It's a very promising week for La Liga .


If anybody thinks that Girona aren't a serious contender in the Spanish La Liga this season, then the person must know nothing or probably have very little knowledge about football because considering the performance of Girona in the Spanish La Liga this season, it's very obvious that they in for a serious business. Many believes that Barcelona are more of a serious contender for the league title than Girona because they have a better squad in terms of quality of players when compared to the Girona side but Girona has been able to get to where they are currently playing as a team instead of relying on individual brilliance of their players.

The race for the Spanish La Liga title is still very much open but writing Girona off is a disrespect to the team, their fans and management after they've achieved so far in the league

I agree with you. There are rumors that Mbappe will not be in Ligue 1. And many say that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. However, Mbappe has yet to officially say that he will not renew his contract with PSG. Mbappe is likely to renew his contract with PSG. Because in the past few seasons we have heard various rumors that Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG. He will play in Premier League or La Liga. But each time PSG management made tempting offers to Mbappe and Mbappe renewed his contract. This time is likely to see the same thing.
But it looks like Real Madrid will not give up in convincing Mbappe to prefer to finish his contract with PSG then go play for Real Madrid and fight for the La Liga and UCL titles, which are also the only titles that Mbappe really wants.
Real Madrid will submit their final offer in January and will give Mbappe until the middle of the month to agree to the offer and make contract agreement. If this fails then the offer that Real Madrid has submitted will mean it has failed twice.

In the previous transfer window, Real Madrid also offered quite large amount of money to transfer Mbappe, but PSG rejected it and currently the offer is being made directly by Mbappe, not through PSG because Mbappe contract will expire next summer.
It just that it looks like Real Madrid will also enter the Premier League if they fail to get Mbappe, because Haaland is the second option.

PSG is currently at the top with 33 points and if Mbappe really leaves, it is certain that PSG will suffer setback because their main player, Mbappe, who always scores winning goals is no longer with them.
Kylian Mbappe is one of the best attackers in football at the moment and that's why a lot of clubs are trying to convince the France national team captain to sign for their respective clubs including his current club Paris Saint Germaine who are trying all they could to convince him to extend his contract with the club but considering all the rumours surrounding the future if Kylian Mbappe, I'll be very surprised to see him play for Paris Saint Germaine beyond the end if the current European football season. Though he's not officially told us of his next destination, but I think he's gonna go to Real Madrid next summer.

Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez has never hidden his admiration for the France forward and has always tried to bring him to Santiago Bernabeu in the past few years and now that Mbappe's contract with his club PSG iha almost come to an end, he'll surely want to capitalize on the opportunity and sign him. There was also some reports in the media during the summer transfer window, that Mbappe has already reached an agreement to sign for Real Madrid next summer.

We didn't see a big rotation from Leverkusen in their DFB Pokal game against Paderborn yesterday. The strongest rotation was in the defense line as the goalkeeper and defenders were all different than their previous league game. The rest of the lineup was pretty much the same. They got a decent win and moved on there.

Stuttgart played a much more difficult game against Dortmund on paper. However I was still expecting them to eliminate Dortmund and they really did it.  Smiley  Stuttgart are in a better condition than Dortmund now and I expect them to be very ambitious in the DFB Pokal cup as well.
Xabi Alonso values every competition his team are contesting in this season and that's why he didn't make much changes to the regular Bayer Leverkusen first team we've seen all season and was rewarded with a convincing win against Pederborn in the German DFB-Pokal yesterday. Bayer Leverkusen are one of the best German teams at the moment and reaching the final of the German cup this season wouldn't be a bad idea hence the strong squad that played in that game yesterday.

Stuttgart who faced a top Bundesliga club like Borussia Dortmund were able to win in their game yesterday and progress to the next round of the competition. Dortmund hasn't been as good as they were at the beginning of the season in the domestic games and must as a matter urgency improve their performance in other to finish the season in the top four of the German Bundesliga standings.

Osimhen? Why the name Black Haaland? Lol. Man's the reborn Didier Drogba, he'll b the perfect man to lead the Chelsea attackers. Napoli would want to definitely sell but I'm not so sure they'll sell to Arsenal. They've been linked for sometime now to Ivan Toney who will be back to action immediately his ban comes to an end.
...

A striker like Drogba will never come to this world again. Drogba is definitely a living legend. Also, Drogba has better physical strength than Osimhen. Osimhen is a classic striker with athletic qualities, Drogba is a target striker. He was a very unique talent in today's football.

However, I want to say that if Osimhen transfers to Chelsea, he can singlehandedly change Chelsea's downfall. He really is a world star striker.
Didier Drogba is one of the greatest football exports from Africa because of his intimidating achievements in football and that's why a lot of young footballers of African extraction always idolizes the Ivorian. Victor Osimhen has proven that he has all the qualities needed to achieve even greater football records than Didier Drogba did in his entire footballing career but one thing I don't think is cool to do is to compare the two Africans.

Victor Osimhen is good and can go on to become another big name in football from Africa but there's no way he's gonna play exactly like Didier Drogba. He still has many more years to write his name in the history book of football like Drogba did but until then, let's keep our fingers crossed.

They must win against Bayern while hoping Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw and that is not an easy matter.
Obviously that is a difficult thing to do considering that Munich is not a weak club, they are the strongest club in the UCL so they will probably have difficulty winning against them. Let's just say that if Manchester United managed to win narrowly with 1 - 0, that doesn't guarantee qualification either because Galatasaray and Copenhagen will not be able to play a draw because one of them wants to qualify from the group to the next round.

I just think that it is possible that Galatasaray will qualify for the group accompanying Munich because of course Manchester United will not succeed. But even if they qualify or not, Manchester United still have to play as hard as possible and not suffer another defeat in this last match which will also determine whether they qualify or not.
It can be done if Manchester United win against Bayern and Copenhagen draw against Galatasaray indirectly they will definitely qualify because they are 1 point ahead of Copenhagen and Galatasaray but if they win but one of Copenhagen and Galatasaray wins then they will only be in the Europa League but another possibility if Manchester United lose or draw then they will only be at the bottom of the standings without being able to say much for the Champions League this season.

I personally wouldn't expect too much actually but of course Manchester United winning is very good just that Bayern don't want to lose their unbeaten record in the group phase.
Mathematically, it's still very much possible for Manchester United to progress to the next round of the UEFA Champions League competition and that's if they can beat Bayern Munich at home while Copenhagen play our a draw against Galatasaray but in my own opinion, they'll need a miracle to reach the round of 16 in the competition because the last two matches in the group is very unlikely to produce such results.  Bayern Munich has been very impressive since the start of the season and are one of the few clubs that are yet to lose a game in the competition so for Manchester United to beat them in that game at Old Trafford next week, they'll have to play to their full strength while hoping for Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel not to field his strongest squad since they've already won the group.

Copenhagen home game against Galatasaray is also unlikely to produce a draw because the two teams knows what's at stake going into the game. Copenhagen will be playing in front of their home fans and that I think will give them extra motivation to win the game and progress to round of 16 while Turkish champions Galatasaray also will be seeking to win the game to reach the knockout stages. Any of the three teams between Manchester United, Copenhagen and Galatasaray can still qualify but Manchester United in my opinion are in a more difficult situation to make to the knockout stages of the competition.

No team can maintain a top performance for a long time frame. Manchester City is no exception from this rule.
Erling Haaland had the opportunity to score a goal and equalize, but he missed it. Aston Vila plays really good and Unai Emery is a very experienced manager. Manchester United managed to win against Chelsea, but I'm not impressed by their performance. Both teams are struggling to find their style and to achieve consistency. So far, Arsenal looks like the team with best performance, but they usually start losing points during the spring. I really hope that the domination of Manchester City over the Premier League will come to an end in 2024.
Eric Halaand has had chances a few times, but it is very difficult for him to always be consistent, especially when Manchester City is experiencing a decline as a team. I think one of the biggest problems is the lack of Kevin De Bruyne in the midfield.

I think his absence is clearly felt. Also, City's situation aside, Aston Villa and Emery definitely deserve praise, they were leading the Liverpool match last week. Liverpool managed to win with the help of a little luck, but they beat City this week is incredible. Aston Villa team can now play for the top.
Erling Haaland without doubt is one of the best strikers in football at the moment but his style of play I know will always affect his goalscoring chances when he's not been fed with the ball to convert. The Norwegian finds it very difficult to control the ball with his feet as well as falling deep to collect ball from his teammates and force attack with it and that's why he's been finding it very difficult to score as much goals as he did last season that City had a Kelvin De Bruyne who was creating chances supplying all the passes needed to score a as many goals as he did score last campaign. I know that Haaland's style of play is most times as a result of the instruction from the club manager Pep Guardiola but he must learn how to fall deep, take the ball and create goalscoring chances when his team are finding it difficult to break the defense of opposing teams.

Aston Villa manager has been doing a lot of great work with his team since the start of the season and many would never had predicted to see them in third position of the English Premier League table after 15 league games at the start of the season. Yesterday, he defeated his Manchester City counterpart and compatriot Pep Guardiola for the first time in his managerial career and that'll surely be a good motivation for the Spaniard to do more for his Aston Villa side.

Entering the Juventus vs Napoli and Inter Milan vs Udinese matches on multibet will give total odds of around @3.00, Inter Milan beating Udinese seems like no doubt but Juventus winning over Napoli is possible but a draw is also very likely to happen that's why odds on Juventus don't show that they would be able to win easily. However, I agree with you that if you want big profits, you have to be brave enough to take bigger risks, because what we choose and also the amount of money we bet will affect the profits we can get, because we don't bet on a lottery that can win even with just 1 ticket.

This is a very difficult match, like Inter Juventus in my opinion. Napoli has lost a lot of strength, very true, but it is still Napoli. A solid team with many talents.
What if he regains his good mood and his mental form on that very day? In football everything is possible.
For this reason we love it..
Since the start of the season, Napoli hasn't been as effective as they were last season and in their recent matches, they've lost more points than they've gained while Juventus has be the opposite side as they've been very impressive in the Italian Serie A this season. Napoli who are the reigning champions of Italy have the needed quality of players to best any team in the league including Juventus but considering the form of both clubs since the start of the season, I'll be very surprised to see Napoli get any result from that game.

Udinese in their prime is also a strong Italian club but playing against league leaders Inter Milan is surely gonna be a very difficult one for them as a team. Inter are trying to win the Italian Serie A title this season as well as winning or finishing well in the UEFA Champions League and considering their recent performances, I think they're gonna convincingly beat Udinese in that particular fixture this weekend.

Marc-André ter Stegen is injured in Barcelona and he is going to be out for a long time after the surgery he had recently, that's why Barcelona is trying to find an alternative goalkeeper and now it seems Yassine Bounou the goalkeeper of Al Hilal is linked to Barcelona. Usually, we see the Saudis trying to hire players from top European teams but now it seems Barcelona wants to hire an Arab goalkeeper.


Al Hilal's efforts with Barcelona make me suspect that there will be an exchange of players, for example Barcelona wants goalkeeper Al Hilal and Barcelona will give players to Al Hilal but this is just my suspicion because we all know that all clubs in Saudi Arabia always bring in players from Europe which is very rare. selling players to European clubs or maybe Barcelona is just looking for players at a cheaper price and doesn't care where the players come from.
If this really happens, it seems like Al Hilal will not let go of Yassine Bounou because this goalkeeper is very reliable at Al Hilal, who performs quite well in every match, so perhaps the news regarding this goalkeeper will just be a rumor.
I've read of the rumour about Barcelona trying to replace their injured goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen with Al Hilal's first choice goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and I think it's a very good news for Saudi Pro League fans as one of the biggest clubs in Europe now wants to get the services of a Saudi based player. Over the past 12 months, we've seen a lot of European based players been signed by Saudi clubs in their quest to improve the quality of football in the country as well as to get further global audience - a mission they've achieved to an extent. A lot of people are of the opinion that Saudi based players forget doesn't possess the quality that European clubs would want to sign but if the deal between Barcelona and Yassine Bounou happens, it'll go a long way to change that belief and narrative about Saudi based players.
1594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 07, 2023, 10:50:50 AM
The most important thing is that currently the two representative clubs from the Premier League are trying hard to win the title they want to achieve and Liverpool will continue to try in the european league and Arsenal will work hard in the Champions League.
This season both teams are showing consistent performance and they are playing some matches very well. Liverpool made several mistakes last season so they had to play in the UEFA Europa League. But this season Liverpool recovered very quickly and it has been proven that they are one of the contenders for the title in the Premier League. So I think both of them are capable of appearing competitive.

But if we talk about the chance of winning, I think Liverpool in the UEFA European League has a very big chance of becoming champion. As you have said, Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world with a series of EPL and Champions League titles that they have won. Meanwhile, I think Arsenal will have many challenges to lift the Champions League trophy because of course they are at the top level in Europe.
Arsenal and Liverpool has been very impressive since the start of the season both in the English domestic as well as in the their respective European competition and I have no doubt that the two English teams are gonna have a good campaign in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Champions League competitions. That being said, i think Liverpool stands a better chance of winning the Europa League trophy than Arsenal stands to win the Champions League title and that's because Liverpool in my own opinion has been one of the strongest teams so far in the Europa League this season as well as one of bookmakers
favourites to win the competition while Arsenal doesn't fall in the top three of the teams have high probability of winning the European Cup this season according to bookmakers.
I feel that West Ham will also be successful in winning this match and of course they will clearly progress with ease without needing to compete again for safe position later if team from the UCL enters.
West Ham in the Premier League is not very good and the Europa League is their only chance to perform well.
And it is true that home advantage can really influence West Ham game to be able to beat Freiburg, but I would still say this is pretty fierce match.
I also think that the match between West Ham vs Freiburg will be quite fierce next week because it is not just about which team is the host. But it is also about which team will be the champion in group A because these two teams are certain to qualify for the next round so they will only try to become champions in that group. Moreover, currently the two teams also have the same number of points after the five matches they have played in the Europa League group.

This match is very important for both the teams. Both teams have won 3 out of 5 matches. They are on the points table with equal points. Either way they have to win the next match. Players from both teams will fight hard for victory. I have also seen quite consistent performances from West and Freiburg players in the last few matches. When the players are confident it is easier to win the match. This match is likely to be very competitive. It is very difficult to predict which team will win. For this reason, I will not bet on this match.
West Ham surprisingly has been one if the best teams in the UEFA Europa League competition this season as their 0:1 win at Serbian club Backa Topola ensured their place in the knockout stages of the competition. Their last game of the group stage is a home game against German club Freiburg which is definitely gonna be a very difficult game for the two sides who care currently on the same number of 12 group stage points and I think that David Moyes' side are gonna win that game to seal their place as the winners of the group A.

Yes, even though Girona has performed well so far, they won't be able to compete for long at the top of the standings, let alone having to overtake Real Madrid. I predict that Girona will only be able to survive until half of the season, but when other teams make changes in the next transfer window, they will accept a more serious challenge.
I even predict that Girona will continue to try to continue to appear competitive in La Liga this season and there is a possibility for Girona to make things difficult for Barcelona this weekend. Because the two of them will meet at Barcelona's home ground and I think the match will be quite interesting considering that the positions of these two teams are very close in the La Liga standings. So I don't think that they will change more quickly even though there are many teams buying new players in the transfer market later.
Girona for a fact doesn't match up with other Spanish La Liga top teams in terms of quality of players but how they've managed to play like a team since the start of the season I think is enough to convince anyone that thinks that they are not serious league title contenders to have a rethink. The first half of the season is almost gone and Girona has been able to accumulate the same number of points like Real Madrid and are joint top of the league with the Spanish giants so I don't see any reason why someone should think that will eventually decline in form as the season goes by. The manager of the club Miguel has been able to introduce the perfect tactical approach into the team since the start of the season and you don't expect him to suddenly lose his tactical experience or see his players underperforming.

Girona might not be able to win the Spanish La Liga title this season season but baring injuries to the club's first team players, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from finishing the season in top four of the league and qualify for to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

I wrote yesterday that Villa is not an easy opponent for Man City and now Villa are in third place in the standings... I thought that City would score, but Villa won with a minimum of one goal... It was a good match... Today it will be interesting to watch the game Spurs vs Hammers...
Judging from the statistics of Manchester City's match last night it was very different, they seemed to have lost their real game, maybe there were several factors, firstly they lost Kevin de Bruyne and secondly Rodri also didn't play because of card accumulation, this really made the game worse. Manchester City is declining, but behind Manchester City's defeat it is also proven that Aston Villa is currently really a team that the big six teams really need to be wary of.

It's been very long I watched a Manchester City side that plays football with less creativity like the Manchester City team that lost at Aston Villa last night. They played like a struggling average team with players that aren't capable creating chances and it made me begin to wonder about what was wrong with them because that's not how a typical Pep Guardiola's team plays. Jack Freakish didn't feature in the game because he picked his fifth yellow card of the season in their game against Tottenham Hotspur during the weekend and so was Rodrigo. Jeremy Doku's was unfit as well after he picked a knock in their last game and that's why Pep Guardiola played two natural  defenders in the persons of John Stones and Manuel Akanji in the midfield position but unfortunately for him, his tactical approach didn't favour him last night as Leon Bailey's deflected shot was all Aston Villa needed to grab all three points from that game.

I think Kelvin De Bruyne's absence since he picked injury in at the start of the season has been the major reason why Manchester City aren't as effective as they were last season and now that the winter transfer window is almost here, Manchester City might consider signing another creative midfielder

Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.


There's no doubt to the fact that a gambler's gambling result is a big factor that determines his behavior at a given period of time and that's why gamblers are advised to always keep their behaviors in check at every given time especially during gambling moments. Most gamblers automatically becomes too toxic to stay close to whenever they're losing in gambling, the reason behind that I think is because of the pains that comes with losing money and this same gamblers exhibit their cool and accommodating life whenever they're making profits. It's absolutely unwise for a gambler to allow his gambling activities to determine how he feels because in some occasions, he might lose his close friends or good relationship with family members because of their reactions during their loss moments in gambling.

If I'm to advice a gambler about how to manage behavioral changes, I'll tell him to temporary avoid any engagement with friends and family immediately after losing in gambling so he doesn't end up having issues with them that he'll later regret

Recently, Atalanta has had tough opponents every week and in the next match they will face AC Milan again. Well, if they are really unable to return to winning ways, it could be that their position in the standings table will easily be shifted by another team. I think Gasperini must be able to change formation tactics in order to support the performance of his players, even Lookman also experienced a significant decline in performance so it would have quite a bad impact if he couldn't get up to contribute to scoring goals.
Agree, in the next match Gasperini has to change his formation, he also must to have the right tactics considering that his opponent is also Milan which are is a top team. Gasperini last 3-4-2-1 formation was also not very good because they could be beaten very bad, usually he use a 3-4-1-2 formation against top teams, but in the last few of matches it has also disappointing. So yes, changing formations and tactics during the match is the main thing for Atalanta right now, it's a tough job surely but to get back to winning track this must be thought immediately.

This week i opt for this bet, just Inter (because can win easy with Udinese) and my beloved Juventus, can win versus Napoli.
  • Inter Milan - Udinese i will bet on Inter Milan
  • Juventus - Napoli i will bet on Juventus

My 3 euros on this bet.
Maybe the total odds for the two matches are around @3, if combined into one bet (I mean multibet/parlay). And with 3 euros, then you can win 9 euros.
Inter will be the favourites team, so I don't think there's a problem if I also pick them in my betting plan. Meanwhile, Juventus, who will play at home, will probably be very capable of winning against Napoli. Because in their last five matches Juventus performance has also good, and very different with Napoli performance in their last five matches. But for betting, maybe I will pick another option, on both teams to score could be a good option for me.
The Inter Milan game against Udinese as far as I'm concerned is gonna be a easy win for Milan club and that's because of how good of a side they've been all season and also the quality of players they'll be facing when the meet Udinese.  Juventus play against Napoli at the Allianz on Friday night and considering the current performance of the both teams in the Italian Serie A, I'll be very surprised to see the away team get a good result in that game. Juventus are seriously fighting for the league title this season after missing out to claim it in the past three seasons and would definitely play to their full strength in that game .
I know how important it is for every team to have 11 players intact and here Sassuolo lost one of their players which caused their defense to become weaker. I don't deny that Roma's victory was lucky and if Sassuolo appeared with eleven players then it would end in disaster for Roma. The highest possible outcome of this match is a draw and losing seems impossible but I appreciate your opinion.

I doubt Roma would have been able to win against Sassoulo if Sassoulo had not gotten that red card. They might have gotten a draw but to win would have been so difficult. See how difficult it was for Roma to even equalize despite having an advantage of one extra man. They even needed a penalty to equalize.
Roman has a problem with scoring goals and when they meet a team that is disciplined at the back, it is difficult for them to break through.

Against Fiorentina will be another challenge for Roma and indeed Jose Mourinho's team is not completely stable and often has difficulty scoring goals. I will slightly favor Fiorentina to win but the possibility of a draw is still open. So I'm still thinking about the right option to place a bet on this match later considering the odds are so big.

It's a 50/50 match, but what's funny is that those kinds of games hardly end in a draw. Most times there's a winner. A lot of goals might not be scored because Roma is good defensively and Fiorentina won't let Roma score many goals.
If I had to pick ill pick Fiorentina to win.
Roma of a truth won their game last weekend to move to the fourth position in the league and that I think is a very commendable effort by the Jose Mourinho men who are trying to finish the season in the top for of the league. Playing against Fiorentina in my own opinion will be a very difficult match for the both teams but I expect Roma to either win the game at at worst share points with Fiorentina

I never doubted the capability of Unai Emery's Aston Villa but I least expected them to beat the Citizens.. and to think that they literally called all the shots to the point that Man City lost control of what they were doing and were forced to defend.
I said it one of my posts that if Man City could find it difficult to beat a club that's struggling like Tottenham Hotspur and instead settled for a draw, what will be the case for Aston Villa who are very fit and this is the result.
 Again, this game has proven that Haaland is not a big game player else we should have seen his impact on the field! I still don't understand why Jeremy Doku didn't play because we've known the Belgian to be a good creator of goals and also tried to get some for himself too.
I really need to commend Aston Villa confidence and resilience because playing a team like Man City should make any team nervous but they made quick work of Pep's men, making them look like untried school boys.
 This win has seen them move above Man City to sit third on the table behind Liverpool and Arsenal and I must say the league has just got more competitive.
For the first time in Unai Emery's career, his team has successfully beaten a team that's coached by Pep Guardiola and his reaction after the final whistle further explains how happy he is for beating the Spaniard. Aston Villa played with a better determination and resilience tonight and I'm happy they were rewarded with a very vital win that ensured they took all three points from that game to overtake Manchester City in the English Premier League table as the Villans now occupy the third position of the league standings

I've said it in several occasions on this thread that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City isn't as effective and impressive as they were last season. They don't even look like the team that triumphed both in two domestic competitions as well as in Europe last season. Pep Guardiola serious need to work on his team and come up with a new playing style that'll bring out the best from the players once more.  Erling Haaland once again failed to score today in a game that many had predicted that he'll surely find the back of the net. The Norwegian doesn't have all the qualities of a good striker if you ask me. His footwork is one of the weakest among English Premier League strikers and he rarely falls back deep to take ball and play it to their opponent's 18 yard box. Erling Haaland is a sharp striker that knows how to position in games but he need to improve his footwork in other to be able to deliver in games that his team are finding difficult to break.

The Manchester United has a good formation tonight and I love the idea that Rashford was kept on bench. I think he made a big decision in tonight game and on the first 5mins, Manchester United is making brilliant attacks and I feel they can maintain the momentum

I think today match Chelsea and Manchester United is the most interested match, the place I'm now to watch the match  lot of arguments has being going on that Chelsea will lose the match against Manchester United and many others have being saying that the match will be draw, so I don't know your predictions concerning this two matches because the match is about to kickoff and many people is still contemplating that Manchester United is going to defeat Chelsea so on your observation what do you think that will be Chelsea deficiency that will make Manchester to defeat them, or what do you think that will make Chelsea to them, so what is the fault you notice in Chelsea or Manchester, or do you think is going to be draw.
The match between Manchester United and Chelsea is always interesting. And another remarkable thing is that some young boys know how to make fame through Manchester United and Chelsea. It is Manchester United and Chelsea FC match that gave Rashford the timeline popularity he had while growing up.
