Bayern Munich match was postponed due to heavy snow. Like that Bayern Munich will remain second until the end of 2023 thought and Union Berlin will remain the last team in the ranking. It is hard to reschedule it before 2024 unless they want to cut holidays?

I know that Leverkusen's current performance is good, it's just that in terms of conditions, Bayern is still an unchangeable favorite, especially with the hegemony they always create in every season they always run, so indeed Bayern remains the main favorite to win the Bundesliga.
Bayer Leverkusen has to win the hardest games in Bundesliga if they want to finish first. By these matches, I mean Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig mainly. Bayer Leverkusen is playing home and they are favourite according to bookies. It will be interesting to see them winning this match and continue to challenge Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title Wink
Bayern Munich's proposed home game against Union Berlin yesterday was postponed because of the extreme level of snow falling in Munich overnight. But that can be an opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen to capitalize on and extend their lead at the top of the table to five points. The league leaders host fifth placed Borussia Dortmund this evening and a win for Xabi Alonso's men will further increase their chances of finishing the year at the top of the league table, a prediction that very few persons would've predicted at the start of the season.

The away team Borussia Dortmund are a very good side who are capable of beating the league leaders if they play to their full strength but considering the performance of the two teams since the start of the season, I'll be banking in Bayer Leverkusen to win the game or at worst share points with Borussia Dortmund.

Today's match between Bournemouth and Aston Villa at the Vitality Stadium is crucial for both teams. Aston Villa have been in great form this season, currently sitting in 4th place in the Premier League standings and coming off a great win over Tottenham Hotspur. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have struggled and are currently 16th in the league, although they secured a win against Sheffield United in their last game. Despite Bournemouth's recent win, Aston Villa are considered the stronger team and are favored to win. However, Bournemouth will likely put up a strong fight at their home ground. Aston Villa will be aiming for three points to continue their bid for a top four finish in the league. I think Aston Villa can beat Bournemouth 2-1.
Playing against Bournemouth at the Vitality stadium is one of the difficult tasks in the English Premier League because the club have a good record playing at home more than they do when they're playing away from home and that's why I think their game against Aston Villa which will kickoff in less than 15 minutes later is definitely gonna be an interesting game to watch. The away team Aston Villa has been in on an impressive form since the start of the season and are surprisingly occupying the fourth position in the English Premier League table. Aston Villa I think will win the game and the fact that Ollie Watkins whose fitness before the game was still in check has been selected to start the game gives Aston Villa more chances of grabbing all three points from the game
I don't know how long I will have to see Man United like this and I think if there is no change then this season will be a nightmare for Man United. Sometimes I hope that Man United will suffer consecutive defeats so that Ten Hag will be kicked out of his position because I think Ten Hag is incompetent in handling Man United. He had spent a lot of funds, some of them even turned out to be wasted purchases but until now there are no signs that Man United will get better.
If United doesn't buckle up, they might well fall from the top this season. Erik Ten Hag have succeeded in making Manchester United to become an average club in areas of performance and major tournaments. The supporters are tired of the present state of Manchester United this season, they keep on repeating their poor performance over and over again in matches. Watching them lose yesterday was pure humiliation and this is probably not what everyone thought could happen because Manchester United are on the elite side and losing horribly to Newcastle was not in the expectation.
There's no doubt to the fact that Manchester United is currently not one of the strongest teams in England again and from every visible evidence, they've lost the fear factor that comes with the name of the club when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager of the the club. Erik Ten Hag's tactical approach isn't what the club needs right to overturn their their current poor performance and that's why I think the club needs to sack him. They need a manager that's good in man management of the team players and that I think will significantly improve the team's performance

PSG is leading and I doubt they would be that much impacted by that red card of their main goalkeeper,they have the substitute goalkeeper as good as their main one and their players compared to Le Havre are of another planet,if they manage to miss not winning this game I can understand it as they are with 10 players yet I don't believe this will be the case.I don't believe this will be the case as they know very well that winning this game can give them a very big boost to their title fight and they would be 4 points ahead of Nice which honestly after seeing the game of yesterday I have not seen a more ugly football played.
Le Havre couldn't profit from the one player down in PSG squad without counting also the injured player that left two minutes before the red card and the change made to replace the goalkeeper. PSG started hard the game but Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal as usual. The game is still in the first half but 4 points difference from Nice will make PSG less stressed comparing to Nice which lost their game yesterday vs Nantes by one goal. It is funny to see Nice holding a good record without a defeat before that game and they were taken down by a mid-table team..

The game is currently in the 70th minute and Paris Saint Germaine are still leading by a goal to nil. The home side Le Havre isn't even pressing PSG like a team that's one man down instead, the French champions have made more attacking moves in the game than any host team. With the way the game is currently going, I'll be very surprised to see PSG drop any point from this game. Kylian Mbappe once again has proven that he worths all the hypes he's getting as one if the most prolific attackers in the whole of Europe as his only goal in the game has been the difference between the two teams.
Nice losing to Nantes is not that surprising because Nice, even though they had time to be leaders of the standings, but they are not a productive team and were behind since the first half Nice were unable to equalize the score or score more goals to maintain the narrow point difference with PSG, and it was tough for Nice to return to the top of the standings.

PSG is leading and I doubt they would be that much impacted by that red card of their main goalkeeper,they have the substitute goalkeeper as good as their main one and their players compared to Le Havre are of another planet,if they manage to miss not winning this game I can understand it as they are with 10 players yet I don't believe this will be the case.I don't believe this will be the case as they know very well that winning this game can give them a very big boost to their title fight and they would be 4 points ahead of Nice which honestly after seeing the game of yesterday I have not seen a more ugly football played.

With the first half already over and they still leading the score, maybe PSG will change their strategy in the second half by being more defensive and trying to be effective in counter-attacks, and my prediction is that Mbappe will try to score his second goal in this match to secure 3 points so that PSG is even stronger at the top of the standings. as their rivals suffered their first defeat which gave PSG a huge advantage.
Nantes without doubt has been performing pretty well in the French Ligue 1 since the start of the league and that's why they're currently in the first half of the league table but I didn't expect them to beat a Nice team that's been the second most consistent team in the French Ligue 1 this season. Like you rightly said, I was of the opinion that Nice will give Paris Saint Germaine a very strong battle for the contention of who wins the league title this season but with their recent results, Paris Saint Germaine are likely to have an easy season and still retain the title at the end of the season

Álvaro Morata is a player who has perfect performance in his team and he was an effective player for Atletico Madrid so far. Álvaro Morata scored 12 goals in 17 games they had and this is amazing for this player but Álvaro Morata was about to join Barcelona two years after Xavi contracted him. He could shine in Barcelona, however, there is still the chance for Álvaro Morata to join Barcelona soon.



I think signing Alvoro Morata would not be a good step from Barcelona because he already turned down at 32. If Barcelona signs him, they will sign another striker after the next two years because he is already 32 and the average player can hardly play until 35. And anyway, there are many young and talented players apart from Alvaro Morata. If Barcelona must sign a striker, then they should prefer young players instead of old players so that young players can contribute their skills for a long time and go to a club. Well, in my opinion, this will not be a good signing, just to fulfill the temperory requirement and nothing else. I think Barcelona should prioritize signing strikers like Kallyan Mbappe and Haaland. Yes, it is true that he is an expensive player, but in reality, he can give you more contributions than his value means to win trophies for the club.

So I mean to say that Alvaro Morata is just nothing but a vast sum of money. And Barcelona has already been stuck with financial critics. What do you think is good or not?
Alvaro Morata is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in Spain and that's why it's absolutely understandable that Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is very keen in signing the Spanish international to the Camp Nou. But at the age of 32 years, Alvaro Morata is already a veteran striker and considering the fact that Barcelona also has another veteran striker in the person of Robert Lewandowski, I don't think it's actually a good move to sign Morata to Barcelona. I understand that Xavi Hernandez is a long time admirer of Morata but there are still very young, sharp and energetic strikers out there that are very capable of delivering whichever performance that Hernandez is looking for in Morata and signing such strikers will better deal for the club as they'll have more years to still deliver top football performances for the club than Morata can do.

Serhou Guirassy, Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface and other young big strikers in Europe I think will make a better signing for Barcelona than Alvaro Morata will do
1745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 03, 2023, 12:58:54 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

Where did you come up with this info? Any link to the source of information? Where did you observe the performance of rich gamblers?
It seems kinda logical for the rich to be successful at gambling. If you have more money, the chances for you to hit a big win are higher.
By the way, the term "successful at gambling" shouldn't be taken seriously, because nobody is successful at gambling in the long run.
The casino always wins in the long run, so the casino owner is the only one, who is truly successful at gambling. I don't have a problem with this, because I gamble for fun.
By the way, if you are really poor(you don't have enough to meet all your needs) spending your money on gambling is the worst financial decision ever. Poor people should stay away from gambling.
There are simply analogies of life that doesn't need deep knowledge or research for one to know about them and I think who wins more between a gambler that's rich and the one that's trying to survive falls in that category. When a gambler that's rich wants to gamble, his chances of losing are slim because he'll gamble on very big odds and stake a huge sum of money in it while a poor gambler will want to gamble on very small odds and stake with small money in other to win big from it.

Gambling is one engagement that one shouldn't venture into with the aim of becoming successful in it but as we all know, most of the poor gamblers out there are engaging in gambling because they want to alleviate from poverty through gambling and that's why majority of gambling addicts are mostly poor people.

Since the last two El Clasico matches Barcelona were lose, I think Atletico Madrid should able to win in this match. Lewandowski isn't the same Lewandowski which I know when he was still in Bayern Munich, my personal opinion Barcelona looks more stronger when they play in Camp Nou than Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Barcelona is only win base on their popularity and their reputation.
Maybe a draw is the worst for Barcelona. But I feel confident that Barcelona can win. Gavi's injury problem is not a big problem. They have De Jong who is ready to take Gavi's position. They must also be able to take advantage of Felix's moment. Felix is ​​a good player, he must be able to perform optimally. He must be able to provide proof that Simeone's decision to hate him was wrong. Apart from that, there is news that Felix's permanent contract option could also increase Felix's enthusiasm.
After Real Madrid and Girona won their match week 15 games, they went 7 points ahead of third placed Atletico Madrid and fourth placed Barcelona and that's why the two teams will sure do their best today to win the game between them and close the gap with the top two teams in the Spanish La Liga standings. Barcelona will be playing at home at the Camp Nou and that's why a lot of people including bookmakers are backing the home side to defeat Atletico Madrid but that wouldn't be an easy task for Barcelona because Atletico Madrid has the needed quality of players to grab all three points from that game.

Robert Lewandowski hasn't been as effective as he was last season that he helped Barcelona to lift the Spanish La Liga title but since he's 100% fit to feature in that game, I think his contributions can be the decisive factor in that game. Atletico Madrid also has big striker in Alvaro Morata who also is capable of destroying the Barcelona defense. It'll certainly be interesting game and I can't wait for the kickoff.

...
Napoli should go extra to prepare for this match because I don’t see any short of performance from Inter Milan in that upcoming match. Inter Milan drew their last two matches but they don’t look like who will succumb to Napoli in this match when they are aiming to maintain their first position on the table. In their last five meetings with each other, Inter Milan were able to two of the matches, also drew two of the matches and have lost only once to Napoli.

This is another clear evidence of why I think Inter Milan will be very hard to score tomorrow. I foresee a draw as a worse case scenario in this match but not a win in favour of Napoli. Mazzarri can only win this match, if he will play a tactical game against Inter Milan and know how to break into their defense and score goals. If it is normal formation they go for, it will be hard for them to win Inter Milan.

Napoli are in the performance that is not so good, even in their last 5 matches in all leagues, Napoli only managed to win 2 times while Inter have a history of the last 5 times a good match, they managed to win 3 times and draw 2 times. In this match Napoli will act as the host, it will not be easy to withstand Inter's onslaught but if Napoli success holding inter attacks, then they will be able to win narrowly. At present Inter is 1 point behind Juventus, they must win for this match if they want to shift the position of Juventus.


Napoli's Italian Serie A game later this afternoon against Inter Milan will be a very big test for the club's new manager Walter Mazzarri who was appointed as the club manager three weeks ago after Rudi Garcia for overseeing the club's very poor start to the new season. Napoli won their first game under new manager last weekend against Atalanta before they were beaten by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League competition last midweek. Playing against an Inter Milan side that's been the most consistent team in the Italian league will undoubtedly be a very difficult task for Napoli today but since they'll be playing at home with the support of the home fans, it's absolutely possible for Napoli to win today.
Milan have finally started doing something for real. First they beat Fiorentina in San Siro in a tough game. After that we have seen them beating Frosinone by 3-1. These are both home wins but doesn't matter. What matters for them now is that they need to keep this up not to drop down from the title competition.

Because Juventus also won this week. Inter's game is going to be really challenging though. Maybe they might lose points once again but I don't feel like they would lose the game. Napoli have replaced their manager maybe but their job is going to be really difficult anyway.
After undergoing a difficult week, AC Milan has now managed to recover with 2 consecutive wins. This is quite a positive thing to increase the team's mentality and confidence to be able to continue the positive trend.

Inter Milan is currently a strong and consistent team but Napoli with all the changes and problems in their team means this will be quite a difficult match for Napoli but even so Napoli cannot be underestimated, this will be a difficult match and all possibilities allows it to happen.
Inter Milan must be able to win points so that they maintain their top standings which have now been evicted by Juventus because Juventsu won this week's match.
AC Milan started the season on a very good note but later started losing games that made many to question if they're truly a serious contender for the scudetto this season but their win against Frosinone yesterday after winning their last weekend game against Fiorentina takes them to just four points behind league leaders Juventus.  
Christan Pulisic who I thought has lost his footballing skills at Chelsea has on many occasions this season proved me wrong as he's been one of the driving force of the Milan team. Yesterday, he was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch as he helped his Milan side to a convincingly win.

Manchester United and Newcastle both have been reported to be targeting to sign Guirassy from Stuttgart. The reported fee thought by these teams for him is 15 million pounds. This would be a ridiculous amount to be offered for him honestly. Because there is no way they can sign him for such a small amount.

Stuttgart wouldn't like to let Guirassy go that easy. His market value is 40 million euros. He would surely like to play for bigger teams but this is just a very optimistic offer for him. Both of these teams are rich in the end so they should be increasing their offer way more.

Isn't the release clause fixed under the terms of the contract? The question is which club the forward will choose. But in general, I don’t even know how to feel about him - throughout his entire career (and he’s not young anymore - 27 years old) he played averagely (sometimes weakly) and here he’s showing such a great season. Where is the guarantee that he will be able to repeat the next season in a new club with approximately the same efficiency?
Serhou Guirassy isn't in any of the top teams in the German Bundesliga but plays for Stuttgart. His number of goals this season in the league is only bettered by Harry Kane who plays for a star studded team like Bayern Munich and that's I'm not surprised to see that handful of clubs are trying to get his signature. Stuttgart for a fact isn't that of a big club in Europe and would definitely sell Guirassy to the highest bidder in other to use the money and invest in to the club's youth teams as well as get other big striker that'll replace Serhou Guirassy if he happens to leave the club.
To choose between Manchester and Newcastle for Serhou Guirassy will be very difficult because the two English Premier League clubs are surely a step better than his current club and that's why it will be confusing to chose from but I think if we should check the records of both clubs, Guirassy will choose Manchester United

Girona once again proved to be a strong contender in the league today as they remained unbeaten today coming from behind to reclaim their 3 points after beating Valencia 2:1 at home. Truth be told they are doing so well and will continue to win regardless of the pressure they will face but if they maintain consistency they are sure of winning the league or at least finishing as one of the best four and thst will see the going to the champions league next season.


When they started to do well in the Spanish La Liga at the start of the season, I was of the opinion that Girona are actually titles pretenders who doesn't have the needed quality of players to conquer the whole of Spain and win the Spanish La Liga title but judging by the kind of performance that Girona has delivered this season I now have a different opinion about them because if they can beat a team like Valencia away from home to still remain joint top of the Spanish La Liga standings after 15 league games, I think they have the capacity to win the league title.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the three teams that's won the Spanish La Liga in almost the whole of the last two decades but from what I've seen so far this season, Girona might be the new Spanish champions at the end of the season.

Theoretically, it is in no way possible to practice gambling as a job, since it is a practice whose success depends on luck.  No one is always lucky.  The rule says that gambling is either for entertainment or as a result of addiction as a pathological behavioral habit.In general, you will not find anyone who advises you to have an income that is subject to the odds of luck.

There are exceptions.  If the gambling takes place on one of the games that is not subject to the factor of luck alone, then it is likely that the gambler will succeed by using his own skills.  Let's say, for example, that someone is good at playing chess and is able to win bets playing chess, then he is most likely able to do this as a job.  There are many of them in the arenas of major cities who make money from betting on their chess matches.
The truth about gambling is that it has positively changed the status quo of a lot of persons. I mean people that were begging to eat but became millionaires through gambling but let's also not forget that gambling has rendered so many young people useless and more especially the gambling addicts. Personally, I think it absolutely unwise for anyone to engage in gambling as a means making a living out of it or seeing gambling as a profession that'll help improve one's financial status.

Gambling should be played for fun and when the person that's involved in it is always losing money, then the best thing to do is to quit but when the person is using it a means of livelihood and survival, the person will still want to gamble more even when he's losing  which will eventually turn the person to a gambling addict

Last season in laliga Sevilla didn't do very well and am not also surprised by their performance this season. I knew the Champions League game will be tough for Sevilla because this is a game that Sevilla is not very used to and they are not prepare for Champions league. The Europa league is the game that Sevilla is very used to, I think coming back to Europa league will be very much interesting . Sevilla is a team that most people wants to always watch in Europa League because they surprise people whenever they meet with top Premier league team in Europa game.
Last season, Sevilla finished on 12th standings position with 49 points and they have very poor performance but helped more after winning Europe League and success become La Liga teams participants in Champion League. Not change yet with Sevilla performance for this season between domestic league or Champion League exactly have been eliminated from group stage and potential will not participants in Europe League after fail for finishing on 3rd position.

How possibilities coming back to  Europe League in this season? Sevilla has two points in Champion League group stage and remaining 3 points left from Lens, if want get place for playing in Europe League have win last match against Lens and pessimistic with Sevilla not won match yet in Champion League.
As the most successful club in the history of the UEFA Europa League competition there's no doubt that Sevilla remains the toughest team to play against in the competition. They actually had a poor season in the Spanish La Liga last season as they were unable to finish in the top four position but that didn't stop them from winning the Europa League trophy last season after they defeated Jose Mourinho's Roma in the final. If Sevilla should be able to make it the to knockout stages of the Europa League this season, they'll certainly be regarded as one of the favourite teams to win it this season because of their records in the competition.

That being said, the possibility of Sevilla playing in the Europa League this season is very slim. After the lost their UEFA Champions League home game against Dutch club PSV  on Wednesday, Sevilla now has a mountain to climb if they must finish third in their group . Their last game of the group stage will be an away game at Lens and they must win that game to finish third and qualify to play in the knockout stages of the Europa League. Judging by their recent performances, winning at Lens will be very difficult for Sevilla .

At this point I would love to say it will be fair if ten hag is relief of his job because he has proven beyond doubts that he lacks the capacity to bring back the red devils to glory this season watching this match against Newcastle made me see too many weakness with the team.[/qoute]

Judging by the recent results of Manchester United, there is no doubt that the team is currently underperforming and that why it's actually safe to say that Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag deserves to sacked as the club manager. Earlier in the week, Manchester United played out a draw in a game against Galatasaray in the  UEFA Champions League despite going two goals up after the restart of the second half. The manager lacks the needed tactical and technical abilities to manage a big team like Manchester United and the earlier he's relieved of his duties at the club the better for the the club.

Onana is another big problem for Manchester united , before now I used to assume he needed more time and maybe he will turn out better but now I see that he is just not good playing in Manchester united, he may be better out there but not with Manchester united, too many errors were spotted in his performance today and I couldn't understand again what exactly he was doing, Manchester needs overhauling.
I don't thu Manchester United's problem has anything to do with the club's goalkeeper Andre Onana even when the Cameroon international has made some big goalkeeping mistakes since the start of the season. Before the match week 15 of the English Premier League kicked off this weekend, Onana was joint highest goalkeepers with the most clean sheets in the league and that goes a long way to tell how good of a goalie he is despite not being adequately protected by his defenders
1753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 02, 2023, 11:53:00 AM
Manchester United will look to capitalize on their historic dominance over Newcastle to secure a much-needed win in the Premier League today. Manchester United have the attacking quality that will cause problems for Newcastle's defense. With both teams hungry for points, the stage is set for an exciting and hotly contested match at St James' Park. Newcastle can continue their excellent home form, having won eight of their 10 home games this season, Manchester United have already won just one of their last four visits to St James' Park. Fans can expect an intense battle for both teams to assert their dominance and climb the Premier League table. This match promises to be a thrilling encounter that fans will not want to miss. I think Newcastle United can beat Manchester United 2-1.

I think it will be a very difficult match for Manchester United. I see Newcastle United ahead. Newcastle had already won the last 2 matches they played. Newcastle United are playing well at home. Eddie Howe applies tactics according to the opponent. They defended and got a point in the Champions League match. They attack and win more in the league. Manchester United doesn't have many influential players other than Garnacho. Their goalkeeper Onana is terrible. I think Newcastle will not have much difficulty in this match. Betting odds also show this. A score of 2-1 would be normal for me too.
Manchester United might have a good history of beating Newcastle United in old days and even in recent times and with that dominance they have tired to maintain. But it will be difficult this time around because Newcastle United has been handed advantage when Isak returned from injury and Newcastle has much more confidence than Manchester United whose goalie is in another social stress after a woeful champions league performance against Galatasary. I do not expect the best from Manchester United, rather from Newcastle United
The mentality of The Red Devils squad is at its lowest point after trying his luck at UCL, and the pressure they are currently experiencing is extremely heavy. As if all the struggles they had put in were in vain, only luck could save them at St James Park later. It's quite dramatic, but that's what we feel right now, they haven't changed, Ten Hag consistently makes fans hearts beat every week.
Ten Hag has actually buried the expectations of the fans since several embarrassing losses that Man United experienced. The fans seem to have lost belief in a United victory unless there's a significant comeback in performance.
All fans are eagerly anticipating a Man United comeback and a return to competing at the top. The less effective strategy has had a major impact on some of the difficulties experienced by Man United.
I hope Ten Hag can bring about significant changes in the near future, or if that doesn't happen, his position as a manager is likely to be in jeopardy.
The joy of Manchester United fans does not reign anymore. They will be joyous in the morning and cry in the evening. Erik Ten Hang is not actually doing anything extra ordinary in the club but he wants Manchester United fans to believe him as a magician. There's no tangible process of recovery and yet the Manchester United fans keep expecting the best in every match day.

Bayern Munich drew to Copenhagen and this slightly made their qualification uncertain. Although they've got enough points needed to qualify which in their next and final match with United, will be sealed. For Galatasaray, they also had a draw with United in the last UCL encounter and now these four teams are left to struggle through in the final group game. That'll be the decider for each of their performances

 Another set of teams with an undecided situation would be Newcastle who almost secured a win against PSG but got disappointed after a late minute equalizer. As well as Dortmund who's been up and doing in their performance and have made winning difficult for their counterparts. It's likely to be a smooth qualification for them and maybe a struggle for PSG, Milan and Newcastle. Next week would be the determinant.
Bayern Munich does not have greater motivation and a draw against Copenhagen is quite natural because they rotated a lot of players and also Bayern Munich had already guaranteed themselves to qualify from the group so this was an unimportant match for Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich's draw against Copenhagen is not a problem because all the teams that have ensured themselves of qualifying from the group phase will no longer be determined to win the match.


Bayern Munich was fair to the clubs in their group, they didn't show total dominance. I mean they gave other clubs good opportunity to qualify and that made the group a bit competitive after the dead group of ;
PSG
Newcastle
AC Milan
Dortmund
Manchester United actually didn't perform as expected because everyone must have thought that Manchester United will qualify comfortably in the group, maybe below Bayern Munich.
Kroos played a great role in the win against Napoli, although Bellingham and Nico Paz were the stars. I can't stop praising Bellingham, he was extraordinary. When Joselu was unlucky he was able to score a goal. Although in the end Joselu scored a goal. Apart from that, Nico Pas also performed well, scoring a hard kick from quite a distance. A great win and this ensures Madrid progress to the knockout phase.
Kroos is someone who balances the midfield and that is why Ancelotti still trusts him to guide Real Madrid's young squad. Bellingham's performance is commendable because he always scores goals when Real Madrid need to win and at a very young age he has been the leader in almost every match. This was also seen when he gave support to Joselu after scoring a goal and he asked Joselu to face the fans so that he wouldn't feel down mentally. The goal scored by Joselu was also thanks to an assist from Bellingham and he is indeed a complete player.

Real Madrid under Ancelotti has don very well in his transition plans. He knows how to gradually retire experienced and old players while allowing them to coach the young ones. The likes of Kronos and Modric has successfully mentored young guys who will take their position. For the case of Bellingham, I am just in short of words about his insane performance.

Guideline 1: Gamble no more than 1% of household income
Don’t bet more than 1% of your household income before tax per month. For example, someone with a household income of $70,000 before tax should gamble no more than $58 per month.

Recently I decided to risk only 1 percent of my gambling portfolio into each bet. This makes my bet risk free as I know that even if I lose the bet i will lose only 1% of my gambling money.

Do you guys also follow a similar strategy like gambling with 1% or 2% on each game? This way not only we are safe from losing big amounts but at the same time, we never find ourselves in a situation where we go all in, in some bet and then have the fear of losing all of our money.

You must have heard 1% strategy in trading, the same can be applied in gambling too and believe me, you will feel a lot more comfortable using this 1% of your money in every game.
This also gives you a lot of games to play before you end up on your money as on every bet you will use 1% of your money. In case you lose all bets, you will be playing 100 games because your money is exhausted.


The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines
What you invest in gambling. Is using the word investment normal for gambling? Let me try to rephrase, what you are willing to spend gambling differs from person A to person B. I know that the society or some psychologists must have tried to draw a standard. Even while following standards, there are individual discrepancies that needs to be respected.
The amount of money used by a casual bettor should differ from the amount of money used by a serious gambler. Someone who is an expert gambler and have evaluated themselves for years and understood that they have a way to win, maybe on the long run, sparing 5% is not bad for that gambler. In the other hand, an inexperienced newbie using 1% is very nice and that is subject to increment when they must have mastered the act of gambling.

Gambling is about luck no doubt, but many people tend to believe that they is some way that they can manouver their way to securing a certain outcome in their bets and actually give them sweet winnings and from all my observation during my short time in gambling, I'd like to think that this particular thought about gambling is just a big lie and these are the fairytale lie's that some crazy gamblers tell themselves.

You can research about a particular game you want to bet on and be sure about the actual winner of the game be it soccer or any other sport but the hard fact is that not always does this winning come through sometimes the result is an opposite case .

If it's sports betting, then I suppose certain measures could have been taken. For example team history, previous season performance etc. These factors could be used to narrow down the possible outcome. But in the end, it's all about luck no matter how hard we research. I understand that, but sports do has it's charm. A true sports fan has his ways of knowing. There are many variables in sports gambling, but it can be eliminated. Where in online gambling, it can't be.
Gambling on it's own is more of luck than anything else, something you cannot control the outcome it therefore means that you are relying on luck to have a win.
However, there are different types of gambling, while some gambling are strictly skill base, there are others which needs alot of experience just like the sports betting. An experienced gambling in a particular league who has studied the pattern of that league will likely have a win then someone who knows nothing about the league.

There's always a loop hole in every system. No system is ideal, no matter how closely monitored, there are people who are illicitly taking advantage of the system. So, these set of people should be excluded when ascertaining if gambling is all about luck. Such things exist in sports betting when it's called match fixing

Arsenal will not survive in this match despite they are playing from their home, because wolves will like to use some new tactics they have never use before since the beginning of this season to battle with Arsenal to defeat them 1-2 for the favour of wolves.
What new tactics will be used by Wolves to win at home to Arsenal. Wolves never felt how easy it was to beat Arsenal in various competitions. Maybe the new tactic of Wolves that they want to use later is the tactic that was used in 2020 Disaa they were able to get 3 points at Emirates with a score of 1-2.

But there is no way wolves players can stop Arsenal not to score a single goal from this match, because their strikers are cable to do some team work to ensure they get a goal from the match to make their fans happy.
It is impossible to realize to make Saka cs not to celebrate goals because the expected goals Arsenal are quite good.

Newcastle united vs Manchester united will going to be a tough match but Manchester united will embrace the victory at the end to achieve the victory and to increase their points and position in the premier league table.
How sure you are Manchester United will win against Newcastle in his home if their defense is still bad. Onana again made the topic of conversation on the main page of many media after the match. Almiron, Gordon will make Onana a sour face.
There's no sure result for Manchester United against Newcastle United. If you examine this very well, you will understand that Newcastle United is in a very nice form. This can be seen on how they have performed well in the English premier League these few weeks and even their performance against PSG in the champions league. If not that football is not fair most times, that was supposed to be a 3 points victory for Newcastle United over PSG. In the other hand, Manchester United is still in trauma if champions league poor performance which is definitely gonna affect them.

You mean Arsenal who had been on consistent winning  runs won't defeat Wolves at the Emirates? Recall Arsenal currently had the best defensive record in the premier league now and I don't think Wolves would pose any threat to the gunners in Emirate bouyed by their topping the league table would motivate the team to aim for a three points because their runner-up are very close on the team, meanwhile Newcastle vs Man Utd is another test for Erik ten Hag whose team has a dismal performance against Galatasaray in midweek, a win against Newcastle would ease the pressure on the team especially Onana who had been very inconsistent in his performances.
However, we also cannot underestimate Wolves, if we look at several matches, Wolves have played very well, even though this week will be very difficult for them when they have to visit Erirates, Arsenal's home stadium, which is currently at the top of the standings.
Realistically, we can see that the strength of these two teams is of course that Arsenal is far superior, but it will still not be easy for Arsenal to win the match even though their percentage is much greater.

I think the option of betting on goal over in this match is quite possible, Wolves have a sharp front line and so does Arsenal, so both teams have a big chance of scoring a goal.
Arsenal in no doubt has all it takes to win wolves convincingly and as well as any other English premier League club because they have been in top form since last season. But wolves in the other hand isn't that bad this season and they have been known for giving a surprise package to big teams in this season. We can go for goals.
1758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 01, 2023, 03:00:12 PM
Xabi Alonso has quite a big responsibility in maintaining the performance and consistency of his squad, the threat from Bayern Munich does not play - play and at all costs Xabi Alonso must still maintain the position of his squad at the top of the standings, so the difference of 2 points I think it is still far from safe for Leverkusen, because if Leverkusen slipped in one of the next matches then obviously it was a golden opportunity for Tuchel's squad. We'll see if Leverkusen can be that strong.
Definitely this has to be the toughest part of been at the top of the table, the responsibility becomes even bigger because nat every slightest drop in point, they will be displaced by their biggest rival Bayern Munich who is closely behind them on the league table.

Leverkusen must make sure to continually win their subsequent matches such that they will be points ahead of Bayern Munich but this will be effective if only it turns out Bayern Munich losses their games as Bayern Leverkusen keeps winning but then one of the greatest test Bayern Leverkusen will be facing soonest will have to be that of winning Bayern Munich probably in their next meeting which I anticipate soonest.

Although basically Leverkusen has proven to be able to undergo a good season with the strength of performance and extraordinary consistency but on the other hand the season will still continue and that means we cannot fully conclude that Leverkusen will be able to seize the dominance of the title from Bayern Munich, meaning that any situation and condition is still very possible, of course this is the hardest part, as we know that it is more difficult to maintain than to achieve, the higher you climb the tree the bigger the wind will hit you.

Yes it is true that Leverkusen must be able to ensure that they will be able to secure or dominate the next few matches they will play, but on the other hand suddenly doubts arise from me because the next match Leverkusen will face Dortmund and VfB, maybe we also know that these two teams are in good form now, especially Dortmund who has always competed closely with Bayern Munich in terms of fighting for the end of season title. So maybe Xabi Alonso should prepare something unusual to face those two matches, and also on the other hand it is true that the match that is waiting for is Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich in the next match, although in the previous match they ended up sharing points but maybe the next situation will be very different, which is where the end of the season is close and it is decisive.
Since past 11 seasons that Bayern Munich have dominated the German Bundesliga, the only the club that's been a strong contender against the Germa champions has been Borussia Dortmund and the closest they came to ending Bayern Munich's dominance was last season that they only needed to win their last home game of the season to be crowned champions of Germany but unfortunately for them, they failed to win their last game if the season while Bayern Munich win theirs to become eventual winners. Of all these 11 seasons, none of them have Borussia Dortmund started the season on a better note than Bayer Leverkusen has done this season and that's why I think that Xabi Alonso's men might just be the team that's finally gonna end Bayern Munich's dominance.

Ending Bayern Munich's dominance this season will be a very difficult task considering the quality of players in the squad and the fact that Harry Kane is currently firing from all cylinders but with what performance we've seen from Bayer Leverkusen so far this season, I think they're very capable to achieve that feat.

Now it seems everything is over for Liverpool and Salah and even Liverpool doesn't have any hope for keeping Salah in this team for a longer time and that's why they want to use other players. Liverpool wants to hire Mbappe and they need huge money to hire this French paly3er and that's why Liverpool wants to sell Salah and from selling Salah to Saudis use the money they got for hiring Mbappe from PSG however I'm not sure if this plan ever works for Liverpool.



Considering Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe, luring him to Liverpool will be both difficult and expensive. The ideal option for all parties (except City haha) would be for Haaland to move to Real Madrid and Mbappe to Liverpool. In this option, Liverpool would not have to overpay for Mbappe since Real would have enough of Haaland and Mbappe does not have any other good options. Therefore, it is in Liverpool's interests to begin preparing Haaland's transfer to Real Madrid  Grin
After Mohammed Salah told the Saudi club that wanted to sign him during the summer tranfer window to approach Liverpool and seek for their permission, I knew the Egyptian was gonna surely join a Saudi club in no distant time. Yesterday, I read in one of the trusted sports tabloids in Europe that Mohammed Salah is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season and the club has lined up Kylian Mbappe as his possible replacement but considering the transfer news about Mbappe in the last one year, I don't think the France national team captain is gonna head to the Anfield stadium at the end of the season.

Kylian Mbappe for over the last two years has been strongly linked to a potential transfer to Real Madrid and it's reported that Real Madrid failed to sign a replacement for Karim Benzema during the summer transfer window because they wanted no other person but his fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappe to replace him. Unconfirmed reports also has it that Mbappe has already reached agreement to join the Spanish giants next summer and considering the desire if the player to win the UEFA Champions League title in the future, I think he'll prefer a move to Real Madrid than Liverpool because history has it that his dream of winning the EPL is more realizable with Real Madrid than with Liverpool.

I dont think Juventus will beat Monza easily. Even if they're favorites, soccer's unpredictable. Given its home edge, Monza could fight hard. After that draw with Inter, Juventus must go for those points to move ahead in the standings.

~snip~
I also think the same thing and sometimes Monza is like a team that will make it difficult for strong teams in every match. I don't deny that Juventus will have difficulties in this match and even being able to win with a narrow goal difference is a stroke of luck for Juventus. However, if the score ends in a draw, Juventus will be even further behind Inter and they will have to add homework in the following week.

If we talk about betting on Monza getting odds @3.90 and Juventus getting odds @2.01, those are quite tricky odds in my opinion and Juventus getting odds that big feels strange. So if we want to bet later, the possibility of a result of over 2 goals with odds @ 1.60 is much safer.
Monza without doubt is a very strong Italian team who are capable of beating any domestic club especially in their home turf on their day and that's why I don't think Juventus are gonna find it easy playing away against the the 9th placed team in the Italian Serie A standings but considering the current form of Juventus and the the kind of performance we have seen from them since the start of the season, beating Monza us more likely to happen than losing against them when they face each other later tonight.

Juventus hasn't won the Italian Serie A league title for the past three seasons and winning it in the initial nine seasons and that's why they are very determined to win the scudetto this season so the fans of the club can experience the feeling of been champions once again. Massimiliano Allegri knows how it feels to win the Italian title with the club as he's achieved that feat with them in the past and I wouldn't be too surprised if he does it again this season.
