Yeah if Victor Osimhen join one of the vibrant clubs in England,


Following football trends, Victor Osimhen of Napoli will be better off taking the move to PSG and go become the new prince of France. With Mbappe touted to leave for Real Madrid and Goncalo Not firing in the 9 position, Osimhen is one who is one that can fill the voids easily.


PSG might be Victor Osimhen's career turning point because he needs a competitive setting to improve. PSG's financial power and Ligue 1 dominance present a different challenge than Serie A's strong competition. PSG's European troubles must be acknowledged despite home triumphs. International recognition and development of Osimhen may suffer from this transition. Osimhen could thrive on a bigger scale if he followed Mbappe, but he needs consistent, high-level competition. Vini at Real Madrid shows how adversity can turn talent into class. Osimhen's decision must show his desire to rule domestically and in Europe.

The temptation is obvious for Osimhen, whose physique and style suit the Premier League. Being PSG's next prince is enticing, but the Premier League is unmatched. The variety of playing styles and intensity of every match might make Osimhen a world-class striker. I think his ideal move should be to push himself to his boundaries, not just replace stars.

Lens will host a club that is ranked 2nd in the standings this week, namely Brest. Lens are still having quite a hard time maintaining their stability this season, repeatedly they have had results that are not at all satisfactory. Now they are in 6th place in the standings with 39 points, from 11 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from the 24 matches they have played this season. With this situation, I think Brest still has a big chance to win even though their status is the visiting team.

Meanwhile, Brest is in 2nd place, their performance is much more stable than the opponents they will face now, in fact they had 3 consecutive wins before this match. Brest has advantages apart from the visiting team's status, but even so, as I said before, they have the opportunity to make Lens have to suffer defeat in front of their own fans. However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  
With Champions League spots at stake, its sure to be a thriller. My pick is Brest due to their three-game winning streak. Lens playing at home might throw a wrench in the works; home advantage is crucial in crucial matches. Monaco, Lille, Nice, Lens, and Brest are all competing for Champions League positions in Ligue 1, which is exciting. Dont you think it makes every match more exciting?

We agree on betting - this match is too close to call. Brest has momentum, but Lens' determination to reach the Champions League zone, just three points behind, makes me hesitate to pick a side. Matches with so much at stake often surprise. Given the competition in Ligue 1, where even Marseille might cause trouble, its best to enjoy the game than worry about betting.

Union Berlin was very unconsistent this season although they can playing at Champion League for the first time but Union Berlin was unable to managed their performance in all competitions and i know their positions is quite safe and probably Union Berlin will not be relegated but if they want to improved their position on league standings then Union Berlin should be keep win but i don't think it would be very easy because their current opponent is Stuttgart and during this season Stuttgart can change to being an strong team and they can able to survive at top 4 until week 24

55 goals from 24 matches is proven Sebastian Hoeness has been change Stuttgart became an the team with attacking style with Serhou Guirassy as Stuttgart key player for front lines and last week he has scores 2 goals and bringing Stuttgart to gets the winning result from Wolfsburg besides Serhou Guirassy Stuttgart also has Deniz Undav who loaned from Brighton and so far Undav was scores 14 goals in Bundesliga and these players will be available today however from all conditions between Stuttgart and Union Berlin obviously Stuttgart is much better and it's clearly they can beat Union Berlin today but the bookmakers provide low odds for Stuttgart win @1.49
Stuttgart's recent form makes it unlikely that Union Berlin will win. Stuttgart is extremely strong in offense, scoring 55 goals in 24 matches. Stuttgart appears unstoppable with Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav, who have been devastating this season. Guirassy's recent two-goal performance against Wolfsburg shows their offensive threat.

Remember that Stuttgart has fortified their home ground. I doubt Union Berlin will breach Stuttgart's defenses, despite their uneven performance. I think Stuttgart winning odds of 1.49 say it all. Given Union Berlin's poor defense and Stuttgart's relatively leaky backline, a 3-1 win seems fair. This game is about offense, and Stuttgart has the edge.

If I were manager Fernando Pochettino, I would leave Chelsea at the end of this season because I haven't seen any improvement since he joined the team as a manager. Pochettino has made numerous attempts to improve Chelsea, but the team continues to perform poorly. I don't think any of the coaches who have joined Chelsea and left the team have done anything wrong; Chelsea simply didn't have any good players, and when they wanted to add players at the end of each season, they bought players who weren't good enough to remain on the squad.

While Chelsea hasn't fired Pochettino, if I were him, I would leave the team at the end of the season because Chelsea is truly embarrassing him with their performance. If the team doesn't score or perform well, the coach will always be blamed without realising that the players are also to blame. Cole Palmer is the only player Chelsea bought this season and he is making Chelsea proud.
If I may ask this question, whenever a football team is performing bad, who is the first person that is supposed to be blamed?
  • The coach
  • The players
  • The management
If you can answer the above question honestly, you will understand the whether you are doing the right thing to vindicate pochettino. Honestly Poch saw the situation of Chelsea Football club and the quality of players they have before he agreed to sign a deal with them. The new very well that he was not coming to meet an excellent team rather to build the team. It is obvious that is attempts to build the Chelsea team as not yielded the result. Abandoning Chelsea at the end of the season will only stain his career the more. Remaining in the club for another season is also not guaranteed for him because the Chelsea management knows too well how to dismiss coaches. It is just like a dilemma to him and I did not know the decision that you will make by next season.
I believe Pochettino took over Chelsea in a difficult circumstance with a group that lacked structure and quality. Inability to build a winning formula or stable first eleven is obvious. No one can deny management's role in this disaster. Their strategic approach and signings have been questionable. Its unreasonable to blame Pochettino alone for Chelsea's problems.

Criticism also falls on players. Players' effort and performance on the pitch are crucial in football. These players may shine under a "great" coach, but they must also be resilient and determined by themselves. The next move by Pochettino is a catch-22. Chelsea's rapid coach swaps hurt long-term objectives. But leaving may show a lack of determination to overcome obstacles. Owners, players, and everyone else need a reality check. As Pochettino has shown, changing managers wont fix deep-rooted difficulties.

Since we're in a digital gold rush, Bitcoin ATMs were pioneers in cryptocurrency exchange. When Bitcoin was hard to get, they were crucial, like the early prospectors. Imagine that a few years ago, these machines gave the masses quick access to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin ATMs still exist in New York City, but they're less common. Why? Since the environment changed. The cryptocurrency world has advanced like we have from panning for gold to trading gold equities on sophisticated platforms. Today, many platforms offer secure, convenient, and affordable Bitcoin trading.

When was the last gold ATM you saw? You havent because gold's value increased and its acquisition methods improved. Bitcoin has no distinction. The digital gold of our time. Bitcoin ATMs showed the possibilities of decentralized cash, but technology and customer behavior have made them less popular.

We need new ideas, but medical study funding is slowed down by red tape. It was easy for Bitcoin and the ICO strategy to get around these problems. It works quickly and completely new, helping to speed up groundbreaking study right away. If a company or study project is close to making a big discovery but is short on money, this could save them.

Who could refuse Bitcoin's perfect payment methods? Bitcoin could make complicated, time-sensitive medical deals easier, so doctors can focus on taking care of their patients. This is great for both patients and healthcare workers.

There are a lot of possible perks. Imagine healthcare systems that work well, are safe, and have enough money. That's what Bitcoin offers. The future doesn't wait, so we shouldn't either.

527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? on: March 07, 2024, 05:51:29 PM
Tracking your wins and loses for the purpose of knowing your overall profit and loss in gambling is a good thing but it is more suited to those who bet with small amounts, who are responsible gamblers and hence they will either be in profits or their loss will not be significant. This tracking will further help them be cautious and play with even more planning.

Now coming to the the gamblers who aren't responsible ones, who will be gambling with emotions and putting big money in some bets in the hope to make good profits. These people's overall loss is usually high and if they calculate their profit and loss in gambling, they may come to know about their big losses in gambling. This may make them even more emotional and they may start to revenge gamble, This is even more harmful for them as excessive gamble to recover the loss never turns to be fruitful. For such people, i don't think that tracking the gambling progress could be a good idea.

that's true, perhaps the goal is like that because it makes sense to know your overall profits and losses in gambling, but I don't think every gambler does this, in fact I think it's very rare for anyone to do this, because when they think In gambling, they most likely only think about winning, so they can also forget or ignore other things besides the gambling they are doing. It's true what you said, maybe this is only done by intelligent gamblers, where they always pay attention to every money they lose and gain in gambling, in my opinion this includes fairly good money management, because not everyone can do it well. and maybe this is one way to gamble carefully.

That's what happens in many cases, of the many gamblers, I'm sure 9 out of 10 gamblers are irresponsible gamblers, gambling with uncontrolled emotions and without good self-control. This is always a big problem and happens most often. In fact, in my opinion, if they had to compare the number of losses and the number of wins, what they could calculate is the wins, not the losses, because in my opinion the losses definitely happen often and of course the number is greater than the number of wins they get while gambling. I agree with you, because some people don't care about this.
. It takes discipline and planning like running a business. Unfortunately, most gamblers dont think this way. They ignore their losses to pursue the big gain. Mindset and discipline issues turn a measured risk into a reckless gamble.

The good news is that acknowledging the issue is the first step to fixing it. Gamblers who keep precise records of their wins and losses respect gambling. Its about seeing the big picture, not sacrificing excitement. Good money management and self-awareness are signs of an intelligent gambler.

Unfortunately, smart gamblers are few. Most people act on impulse without considering the repercussions. Uncontrolled gambling causes more loses than winnings. It doesnt have to be. Even impulsive gamblers can improve their luck with a mentality change and disciplined gambling. Making good choices, being informed, and minding the balance sheet are key. You gamble responsibly and stand out that way.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing at gambling on: March 07, 2024, 05:20:01 PM
When everything's going well, it's cool. But sometimes (often?) money problems lead to divorce. Suppose your spouse/husband gambles a lot, his or her loss/profit ratio is acceptable (so it's fine), but then one day he or she has bet it all and lost it all. You've got nothing left (and no savings either). What's your reaction? Has this ever happened to you?
This has never happened to me, it is bad and everyone should avoid it. Gambling should not be by force, we should weigh our risks and not allow it to affect us or anyone that is depending on us. It is not always about gambling when people are saying bad things about it but the people who are gambling. Gambling itself is a neutral avenue for betting activities, it should not be blamed when we do bad things in it. Imagine this character you narrated, the guy is clearly a bad actor towards gambling. For the irresponsibility, there is no way it will not negatively cause issues for himself and his dependent(s).

I wonder how a woman can be living with a man of this kind of character, even if the woman is good, it will get to a point where she would get tired and no one can blame her because she is a human being. It takes two to tangle but if the other party is not cooperating in the union, it becomes a headache that anyone would want to get off them or avoid as the woman cannot be the one taking the whole responsibility all the time. What if the man is even the breadwinner of the family or even the sole provider? That makes matters worse. To avoid issues like this, we should always be calculative towards gambling and above all be responsible and ensure that we are not addicted to it. Being disciplined is a good way forward here and we should ensure that proper budget and management are involved in our gambling activities.
Gambling usually benefits the house, while the player often loses money, dignity, respect, and even their family. Absolutely, its how people handle gambling, not the gaming itself. Gambling irresponsibility is a time bomb that will cause mayhem. Betting over family is depressing and leads to a disastrous road thats hard to recover from.

Its bad and irresponsible for a man to gamble away his family's future. Leading your family into a storm without an umbrella will get you all wet. Here, discipline is crucial. Important and non-negotiable. Discipline includes setting limits, knowing when to quit, and realizing that your actions affect others.

Wake up, irresponsible men. Whats left if you squander away your bread as the breadwinner? Just crumbs. You must take responsibility and be the man your family needs. All others, gamble with your head, not over it.
529  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 07, 2024, 04:51:21 PM
It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?

Playing with goal of recovering your losses will impair your critical thinking for properly manage your bankroll. You will always tempted to bet huge amount just to recover quickly until you bust your bankroll. Remember that gambling is made for entertainment and not for financial gain. It’s important that you are gambling without chasing any amount that will lead you to take unnecessary big bets to meet the goal.

I always think that all my losses in the past is just my payment for the game I played that time which provides me entertainment. There’s no way for us to beat the house through gambling regularly on luck based game. So we should just gamble to enjoy and have fun with temporary profit, suck it if you lose your money because that’s the most possible outcome in gambling.

Always gamble money that you can afford to lose to avoid unnecessary problem such as addiction because most the addiction starts on a simple chasing losses.
Gambling is tricky, and the house always wins. Your idea of paying for entertainment with viewing losses is brilliant. Cost of conducting business in casinos. But remember, this is for fun, not to fund your next big purchase.

Many fail because chasing losses is a steep slope. Big bets and "strategic" movements wont beat the system. A fool's quest. I've seen folks assume they can beat the house with willpower and luck. Not happening.

Simply gamble with what you can part with. As with high-risk stocks, dont invest more than you can afford to lose. Its not just about money for people who fall; its about admitting the problem and getting assistance. Real power comes from knowing and managing your limits.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t play gambling with drugs or in half sleep on: March 07, 2024, 04:33:17 PM
Gambling or not, taking drugs is not healthy, if you are doing it you need to reconsider before it gets too late, make sure you get help and run the hell away from any drug addicts like yourself, the friends you keep says a lot about your present situation.
Drug addiction is actually very difficult to cure compared to gambling addiction, that's why people who are addicted to drugs never see that they are addicted to gambling too, so far I have seen that people who are addicted to drugs do not gamble seriously because they spend more of their money on drugs than gambling, so It's a bit strange with the OP's writing in this thread that you should never gamble while under the influence of drugs, to be honest, I rarely see drug addicts doing that.

On average, gambling addicts are never under the influence of drugs and I see that from some of my friends who also enjoy gambling, but they often avoid being under the influence of alcohol because they know that it will only be in vain, gambling will not win if they are under the influence of alcohol, let alone half asleep. , it will not bring victory in the end, we all know that drugs are unhealthy but most people use drugs to get rid of their feelings of depression or get rid of all their problems with drugs even though they can divert it by having fun gambling without having to use drugs .
Drug addiction is harder to overcome than a bad blackjack habit. We're peeling layers of a complex onion when we talk about addiction: drugs or gambling. The blend includes human behavior and thinking. Do drug addicts gamble less since their money is in drugs? Lets look further into that surface observation. Addiction is about escaping, filling a gap, or fighting a demon, not the vice. Yes, many turn to drugs to soothe the agony, avoiding gaming as less fun. Both ways lead to catastrophe.

Your point about gambling addicts avoiding drugs and drink to be focused? Definitely a strategy. This is like choose the lesser of two evils. They still want that winning high. Its a human situation and mindset issue. We must treat addiction at its source with real solutions, support, and understanding. This mess can only be untangled then.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: March 07, 2024, 04:07:43 PM
I think the type of gambling that has more gambling addicts is the gambling that you get to play with other players and interact with them; mostly, it is card games. It is not only the gambling itself that makes them obsessed; it is the interaction with the players because you get to laugh, play, and talk with them. That's what makes them happy; if it makes you happy, then you will want it more; if you want it more, you will get addicted, and you'll be obsessed. 

Another reason why people get addicted to this kind of gambling is their ego. For example, if you get to play with other players and somehow get beaten a lot of times, the first thing you will do is get back on track and recover those losses. If you keep doing that, then you will get addicted.
I've noticed, much like you pointed out, that card games and the social interaction they involve do indeed have a strong pull. Not simply the excitement of winning or the money, but the companionship, humor, and belonging. Yes, I understand. Its human nature to want connection, and when you get it in an exciting atmosphere, you want more.

Lets not forget ego. Very large. I've witnessed it. Losing hurts self-esteem too. Win back whats lost and prove oneself might be a vicious circle. A need to repair losses and regain pride leads to addiction. Self-awareness and intervention are needed to overcome this difficult condition.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this ever happened to you as a gambler? on: March 07, 2024, 03:49:43 PM
I think this is both. You need to be careful yourself only while gambling. Be it physical or virtual gambling, you need to always set a budget or balance for the gambling. Don’t gamble beyond this limit. Moreover gambling is all about game of luck, hence it’s alright to make losses. To be honest, I have always kept this thing in my mind while gambling, hence I have never landed in such a situation.
We should apply wise decision in any condition we find ourselves. I know it's never easy to make the right choice every single time. Gambling is not easy task to anticipated, I've come across gamblers that have lost themselves in the space due to gambling and making gigantic losses. There's this fact about gambler, when they're losing, they fumble and lose confidence while the ones winning always proves to be formidable and buoyant in the system, they're not holding any doubt because they're keen on printing money from the system.
Wisdom is no doubt needed in gambling and we should be disciplined and smart with it, if not, we may be wise but the emotion might make us set it aside and act based on the current situation that is caused by our emotions. Good determination is also needed in gambling, and I said this because many would know what to do, but when it comes to the time to do it, they would be doing another thing. This is bad and only emotion can cause it, but determination changes the narrative. This is why I can always advise that the gambler should first know what he is doing. To know this, you learn and discover/develop a gambling style. Then you proceed to have good management which entails the budget and others, and from there, you get to train yourself about the psychological aspect of gambling.

This aspect and that of management are the issues here, and when they are carefully solved, everything will be fine. But note, before any gambler walks into the physical casinos or bets online, they must have had a purpose, know the time to spend, the money to spend in that session and the calculation of how the money would be spent. If any gambler can do that and is truthful to the implementation thereof, what the OP says and even what you replied to, including your post's concern would be avoided.

I always say that gambling is not bad on its own, it is the approach many of us are playing it with that makes it bad and makes most people tag it as irresponsible.
Everyone knows to be knowledgeable and disciplined, yet emotions enter the conversation and throw all that wisdom out the window. The situation is frustrating. Good determination, you said? Absolutely. Knowing you should eat healthy, but seeing pizza destroys your diet. We know what to do, but doing it? The true fight.

Learning and establishing a gambling style is smart and necessary. If you dont learn, you're giving the casino money. Dont even mention budgeting. Most dreams end there. Without a plan, you'll fail. I'll be honest - gambling's reputation comes from those who dont respect it. Its not gambling thats wrong, but how people gamble without a plan and abandon discipline. I always advise gambling wisely, not hard. Maybe the "gambling is irresponsible" narrative would change if everyone did that. We can dream, right?

Challenge Bitcoin's dominance? Never. It took decades to create Bitcoin, a revolution. Meme coins? Short-lived fascination. They spike and glitter, but where's the foundation? They lack Bitcoin's trust and track record. Trust takes time to change, whether from gold to Bitcoin to Pepe or Dogecoin.

Think about it: Bitcoin's stability is unrivaled in investment, not just the increase. Tempted by meme growth may as well be blown by the wind: losing direction and confidence. With its strong community, technological foundation, and unmatched security, Bitcoin is a belief system, not just an asset. Those seeking value beyond the tangible, which meme coins lack, consciously switched from gold to Bitcoin.
535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 04, 2024, 03:07:04 PM
Yep, no strategy can make someone win all the time, on the contrary, most strategies in gambling are recipes to disaster which means that you will lose more money or almost everything you have if you try and apply a strategy to your betting pattern. Martingale strategy is famous for cleaning up the bankrolls of gamblers.

Absolutely, you've captured a fundamental truth about gambling. No strategy can guarantee consistent wins, and many strategies, if relied upon too heavily, can indeed lead to significant losses. This is because most Casinos and bookmakers always have a built-in advantage in their games or odds, ensuring that over the long run, they will make a profit. This means that even if a player employs a strategy, the odds are in favour of the house rather than the player. For example, in games like roulette or slot machines, where outcomes are purely based on luck, no amount of strategy can alter the odds in favour of the player.

While some strategies may seem promising in the short term or specific circumstances, they often fail to account for the inherent randomness and unpredictability of gambling outcomes. Moreover, factors such as variance, bankroll management, and the psychological aspect of gambling play crucial roles in determining success or failure. It's important for individuals to approach gambling with a realistic understanding of the risks involved and to gamble responsibly. This includes setting limits on both time and money spent, avoiding chasing losses, and understanding that ultimately, gambling should be seen as entertainment rather than a reliable source of income.

I've seen it many times: people get excited about a probable win, just to lose. Gambling "strategy" is a myth and wishful thinking. Bankroll management is often discussed but rarely performed. Not only should you minimize your spending, but every penny gambled is certainly a penny lost. Chasing losses? A recipe for despair. Gambling should be seen as enjoyment with a cost, not an investment.

Lets not ignore gambling's psychological trap. It exploits optimism and the excitement of "what if," leaving many regretful. Responsible gambling requires self-awareness, addiction recognition, and the willingness to stop. Remember that leaving is brave.

yes, some habits are deeply engrained in our souls, it takes time, work and effort to correct them
not everyone is willing to do so or will have the necessary powers and support network to suceed.

it's definitely easier for some than others...

Yeah, but at the end of the day most people can do it, at least gradually.

It is hard of course, and everyone is different, but it is simply one day at a time.

I agree, should be doable for everyone if they want
and I put it in bold because from practical experience I say that it's impossible to help someone who doesn't want to be helped
and no one is coming to save us, we have to find the best way in life by ourselves.

Well, the way you talk means to me that you are supported by a person who does like to help, but when you need help from others, no one gives it to you, and I think that has happened to a lot of people, well it has happened to many of us, But I think we have to start from that so that we don't get disappointed in those things, at least I'm very happy when I know that I'm helping a person, whether with words or whatever, but helping, do you know why? because that is the only thing that we practically come to this life to help, and to serve, because apart from that you have not realized that you help someone, with whatever it is, because it is a great satisfaction, I know that many people are not like that, but even when We feel that no one helps us and if we have a place to help, then in some way life rewards us, I say something, we will never be alone, sometimes a person can have a lot of money and be a multi-millionaire, but they don't have the health that we need. Also, they don't have the happiness that we still have even though they have so much money, because those things sometimes don't matter.

Here in the forum there are people who need help, they don't say it, but I know they need it, sometimes these types of topics are understandable because there are many ways of thinking and many ways of seeing the problems, but sometimes a piece of advice, no matter how It's silly that it seems, it helps, or can help someone get out of their addiction or that condition, in fact we are people at some point because we have to help, we have to serve others, and then we don't have to suffer, but through our children we could see those Blessings , or through our loved ones, that is something that goes away like that, but I have seen that people who act badly, in some way in the vine pay for it, and keep in mind Surely before dying you pay for the bad that you have done, and we don't know what comes after death, etnoncs the more we can help people I think that is the idea of this, of the thread, of the forum, of everything.

Your viewpoint reminds us that our existence depends on what we give, not what we get. I've seen in person the great gratification that comes from helping others. You're right - altruism is the foundation of a happy life.

Yes, the forum is full of silent requests for help. I think identifying these latent requirements requires proactiveness. Even simple advice can save someone in their worst hour. Helping others grows a garden of happiness in our own life.

The idea that life always rewards our good efforts with direct or indirect favors is comfortable but suspect. Life's ledger isnt always right. Uncertainty shouldnt deter us. Beyond financial prosperity and personal success, our legacy is the people we've affected.

I once thought chance games had patterns. Since humans are pattern-seekers, its a common mistake. Luck-based games are unpredictable by nature. A winning streak like your friend's on Mine Sweeper is seductive but short.

Well said, the house edge is the immovable rock against which our strategies crash and retreat. Patterns disappear before my eyes, teaching me a terrible but valuable lesson: inconsistency is the only constant.

Do I still seek patterns? No. Instead, I study game mechanics and accept chance. Instead of finding a failsafe plan, enjoy the excitement responsibly, knowing that what works today may not work tomorrow.

I see your point and that's valid if we are too close with the person and we also understand how they will react with the way we will talk to them, though it will be a different take when we deal with someone who's already deeply addicted to gambling, there's no way that they will take time to listen, as everything that inside their minds is all about gambling and how they will going to please their desire to keep betting, unless you really have that bond which might break that engagement and they will spare time to sit and talk about their gambling participation.

More on how powerful your words and how you may inspire them with your statement, but yes, it's good to say that bringing good conversation and placing some engaging topics about their gambling may gain their interest and might help them to realize how far are they in terms of gambling addiction and what are the things that they already abuse.
Those who have experienced a serious gambling addiction will not want to listen to advice from other people even though it is for their own good. They will continue their gambling activities and not think they are addicted to gambling.
However, we still have to try and must not give up, especially if the person who is addicted to gambling is one of our family members. We have to help them and get them out of their gambling addiction. If not, we will have bigger problems because people who are addicted to gambling might get other, bigger problems.
We must try to have a good conversation with those who are addicted to gambling so that they can accept the reality of what is happening to them. By inviting them to discuss this, we hope to open themselves and their eyes to see this reality so that they can begin to be aware of their gambling addiction.
I know your struggle is real. Family gambling addiction treatment needs patience, perseverance, and empathy. I've witnessed it. The secret? Communication, but its easier said than done. Yes, they may first ignore you. They may not acknowledge an issue. Addiction is like that. Be gentle but firm. Discuss their feelings and experiences, not simply gambling. Human connection comes first. Remember, it's process. Small, sustained efforts can lead to breakthroughs.

Also consider professional aid. Gambling addiction therapists and support groups exist. They provide help and strategies you may not be able to deliver. Its improving your support, not giving up.

With how great Leverkusen is going these days, it would make sense to bet a bit on them to win it all. I am not saying that they will, but I am saying that it could be a possibility.

Liverpool definite has a high chance to win, I am saying Leverkusen has one too. If you really want to, you can do 50% both of them and then you will watch as they lose to some smaller club and regret lol. But jokes aside, I think it is clear that they are both 2.00+ so that means if you bet on both of them, unless they both lose, they should be doing fine. I am 99% sure that one of them will win, so it should be quite possible for them to do well. This bet definitely looks profitable enough to give it a test, I will definitely go do that now.
I think you will be lucky and win the bet, because the club you choose has been very consistent so far. Liverpool and Leverkusen are the ideal teams to meet in the final, where Milan is one of the teams that has the potential to disrupt the dominance of the top two teams. In my opinion, Roma also has a chance, but many people still have doubts about De Rossi performance. Apart from all that, we will first see how the round of 16 will go, where the matches will start in the middle of this week. The opening match will be played by Sporting against Atalanta, two teams that are not included in the favorites list. Even though Atalanta plays in a more competitive domestic league, I feel victory will go to Sporting.
Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are dominating their domestic leagues and emerging as the teams to beat. After watching them closely, their consistency is astounding and almost guarantees they'll succeed. Your Milan assessment is correct. They're European and always show up when it counts. Milan's European experience might upset the odds against Leverkusen and Liverpool, the favorites.

I concur about Roma and De Rossi. Under De Rossi, they've improved, making them a dark horse. I think they'd lose to Liverpool or Leverkusen. But isnt that football's beauty? The round of 16 will set the tone for surprises. Although Atalanta plays in a harder division, Im going towards Sporting in the opening.

Al hilal is not owning a lot of expensive players but thing that i do like that from al hilal is this club was able building very good chemistry. it can be seen from how al hilal was always able having very good communication between one to the each other.
it makes the gameplay is able connecting between ohne to the each other. This is not owning by other club.
I think you are trying to equate Al Hillal with Leverkusen's current achievements in the Bundesliga, right?
Yes, I agree with what you said about Al Hillal current performance, the players play and solidarity on the field can be felt when they have to face a team which is actually filled with expensive players, even when Neymar, who may be the most expensive player at the club, has been absent all this time, and In fact this doesn't really affect Al Hilal performance and the proof is that whether Neymar is in the squad or not, Al Hilal is still able to beat every opponent to reach the top of the standings without being defeated like now.

BTW, it is reported that Al Hilal will terminate Neymar's contract when the season ends because it seems that Neymar purchase has not had a significant impact on Al Hilal so far, apart from that  getting a slot for a new foreign player forces management to immediately negotiate this with Neymar, so that it will be easier Al Hilal in recruiting new players in the transfer market later.
 I think Al Hilal is no different from Leverkusen, which is able to compete even though it doesn't have many star players and this is clearly quite different from Al Nassr, which seems to be starting to depend heavily on Ronaldo appearance.
The team's strength isn't dependent on one exceptional player. This displays respectable squad depth and tactical versatility. Letting Neymar go could be sensible. It's about bringing in new talent that fits the team's needs and dynamics as well as saving money on his high contract. Al Hilal appears to be following Leverkusen's lead in emphasizing teamwork over celebrity.

Al Nassr's Ronaldo dependence is intriguing. Different strategies can work in the same league. I think Al Hilal's concentration on team excellence over individual brilliance may be more sustainable. Neymar returning to Brazil to regain shape is intriguing. A change of surroundings can rekindle a player's passion and performance.
