Almeria dominated Alaves but failed to score a goal that could have changed the result of their game with Alaves. Almeria had 19 goal attempts, with 7 of them on target, while Alaves had 11 goal attempts, with 3 of them on target, which resulted in the 3 goals Alaves scored against Almeria. There is no way Almeria will not be relegated from La Liga this season because Almeria has played 22 matches in the league, and they have yet to win any match they played in the league.
I'v know that Slaves was going to make sure they win tonights game because so far they have really been better than Almera and even according to their H2H, in their last meeting, Alaaves has won them in their last two meetings so I think there has been a pattern to their results and an exception wasn't made today.

Almeria dominance was such that had made me almost believed they were going to win or at worse get a draw for today's game but then it turned out they weren't creative enough to get goals even with all the dominance they had all through the game tonight.. three goals loss was actually very humiliating in their home and alaves was very much unable to get a goal out of the whole first to second half of the game despite their dominance. Ameria will still stay at the bottom of the table and are most definitely getting relegated by the end of this season.

I don't know why Klopp announces it now. I mean they are still in the competition, he should focus on the team now. Announcing his departure may influence the mentality of the players, it may bring bad impact the performance of Liverpool players. If Klopp wants to win trophies for his farewell, he must focus on the competition.
I agree with you, it's very true  this announcement will make some players having this at the back of their mind lose their form especially for those who have been very compatible with him already, the taught of trying to get along with a new coach will almost weary their minds as they may not be prepared for it already.

Since he will be leaving by the end of the season he would have rather be more focused on getting to win his last sets of trophy before leaving especially the europa which has been one of his dream trophy's to achieve with Liverpool and this is his only chance before he leaves but then again I'm optimistic he's not going to lose focus on that which he aims to achieve before leaving so it will be added to one of his legacies before his departure at Liverpool, his team will aswell try to snap quickly out of the whole emotional feel brought by this announcement as they know that what they have to achieve ahead isn't what they should fave with such mindset.

Osimhen or not, Napoli has a long way to go in the La Liga. They may have to need more goals and more added points to at least measure up to the first seven on the table, but if no other teams on top loose or draw thier coming matches then with Osimhen scoring more goals than he has done in the AFCON, am sure Napoli will move some places up.  
I can't remember seeing osimhen nor Napoli playing in the Spanish La Liga probably the serie A is exactly where you may be making your reference to. Napoli cannot deny the fact that the presence of osimhen is very crucial and important to how well they are going to perform for the rest of the season so you saying "osimhen or not " has got some sentiments .

I'm the a very long time Napoli never taught for once to cling to the serie A title but it was made very possible by osimhen, whith home they are definitely going beyond their current position and will be sure to end the season above the tenth position and this isn't a thing to argue over, they goals you Made mention that they need can be easily achieved if he's present because he's got the creativity that will help them get as much goals as possible that will help them regain their image, even if they are unable to win the trophy they will at least not far below top five.

Losing everyday is part of the game, atleast these clubs are able to bounce back and reclaimed the necessary points accumulated, perhapes not everyone have the strength to maintain good standards food. Every club have the opportunity to either win or lose, this is a choice and we should make sure we're on the good path. Rennes whipping Lyon 3-0 and there's still enough game time. I only see an average Lyon performance against their mates club, they have failed to meet up the standards and hope of their supporters.
With the performance I see tonight it's most likely Lyon may just get relegated by the end of this season because more losses only means set back and more points away from been able to get out of the relegation but if they were able to win todays game or even get a draw they would have still hope to definitely get out of relegation even if it's just a point above.

Lyon doesn't seem like a team that has got the potential to loose and probably bounce back anytime soon to their form as they should since they are having in mind to exit the temporary relegation on the table. Rennes is now currently at the ninth position on the table with twenty five points having won three games consecutively in their last five game where they lost and drew one each, we expected Lyon tho have shown better performance after have three consecutive wins before this games so they should have had better confidence and a good mentality to winning.

I can recall the difficulties Bayern Leverkusen faced before they could successfully get a chance score amd grab three good points home that day. Now they're to fave Bayern Munich who also has difficulties scoring goals and also creating chances. Harry Kane has been a symbol of hope for them anyways let's hope he can still score for them tommorow.

For Bayern Leverkusen, they remain league leaders with four points clear if they can continue with the same performance, it'll sure be to call them Champions in the next few months, I don't know if they have concluded with the chase for who replaces Victor Boniface. Looking at the last four game they've had at home, one can say they'll score two plus goals tommorow.
Leverkusen doesn't appear like a player dependent team so the absence of victor Boniface to them may just mean a tactical adjustment to allowing for the replacement to fit in and then they will be good, they have got a very good chemistry and rhythm which has helped them maintained that record which they have maintained since this season.

Facing Bayern Munich is definitely going to be challenging for Leverkusen but like you did said Munich recently finds it difficult scoring goals so I think it's going to be a fierce battle that will produce few goals and not as much goals as Bayern would do before but then looking at how they did performed against Leverkusen in their first meet and now that why are really finding it difficult to score goals, I can only imagine what will be of the encounter so I'm really careful about supporting anyone yet but to hole the better side wins.

I think Liverpool might have a similar problem because they would hardly get a quality manager as good as Jurgen Klopp in Europe.

I won't say they'd hardly get a quality manager because he's leaving Liverpool would be the end of the club and also, when Rafa Benitez coached the club and wanted to leave the same thing was said, but look at them. No matter how bad these teams perform without their managers, they hardly hit relegation waters so I feel they will survive without Jurgen, it's just that the management will be expecting much from the new coach that will be his replacement, expecting him to meet up or keep up the standard of Klopp.
It's normal for a coach or a player to leave a team at a time, it could be due to retirement or transfer for the players and maybe sack or retirement or even moving to another team for coach so either ways a coach or player will definitely leave a team some day and is not going to stay there forever no matter how good such players or coach are.

After the exit of certain players or coach, it's normal for some teams to have some challenges with their performance and form but it doesn't mean the team won't bounce back later or won't be able to survive the absence of such persons, it will only take time and before you know it they are back on their feet and such is the case of Liverpool the exit of klop and Salah isn't a death sentence on the team but they may only suffer some set back for awhile after which they will be fine.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 26, 2024, 09:25:08 PM
Even if he is going to get angry because of what you will tell him about gambling it won’t change the fact that you still need to tell him, at least he is your husband even if the money that is going to be used for gambling is not going to come from his pocket it’s important to at least let him know of what the wife do with her free time. The feelings no matter how bad it will look it won’t be as bad as when he will have to discover it by him self so better off telling him on time and get it off your mind.
Allowing him discover by himself that you do gamble will definitely ruin things much more than it would if you tell him and he gets to know through you informing him, then he will be able to accept the fact that you respected him enough to have told him what you are doing with your funds and your free time .

He may not take it lightly when he first gets to know and that's normal because it's definitely going to shock him to know that his wife does such a but then the way you will approach him with it is definitely going to matter and have a lot to do with how he's going to react if you tell him ramosfully and promise to quit if he wants you to or regulate your habit as he wishes, you will see that amicably he's going to discuss it with you and there's definitely not going to be a big deal made out of it.
1048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: January 26, 2024, 09:14:14 PM
I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
If I put more than I've budgeted then I don't find fun anymore in gambling except such game is won and then I can say the risk was worth it therby bringing the fun back so at that point the fun is dependent on the outcome of the game I had played earlier, anything so at that point I don't consider gambling just fun but business.

I personally see gambling both as fun and for financial to up and this is relative to what's at risk at the moment but then I still make sure not to take unnecessary risk so as not to get to the point of depression or been sad due to losses I suffer from the loss is any of the game just Incas I lose any of such games. But then I make sure to to be too financially dependent on the exception of the gambling proceeds but rather gamble for fun more often than I do for the financial benefits but it's still doesn't take away the expectancies.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: January 26, 2024, 08:59:37 PM
People don't have to treat gambling games as the same bexa they are all different from each other even though they all fall under gambling, we have the category of games that deals with luck and those that only have to do about how skillful we appear, them we shouldn't forget that we also have individuals differences in terms of proficiencies in gambling which is also another thing to consider while discussing on this subject.
Once a game is considered gambling nit definitely has got a whole lot to do with luck as gambling is never about just skills even if it will require Skil but the place of luck can't be overturned except there's a fowl play which will allow the opponent win due to the fact that they have got a prior information of the possible outcome before they staked their game.

Skills and proficiency is definitely going to be an advantage to gambler's who has got them but for those who's not got neither of it will most likely be luck dependent most of the time because that's all they can fall back to if they must be able to get the best out of their gambling exploit. Gambling especially when it's solely luck dependent shouldn't be done with much risk rather a fragments of your capital been invested in it will be better so as to still maintain a safe boundary in case of possible losses.

I can't understand why still people think Lyon's chance for winning this match is high and they can think about Lyon winning this match just because of the three games Lyon won recently while this team is still in the danger zone and they are even about to get relegated at the end of this season while Rennais had much better performance than Lyon and they are in the much better situation than Lyon but that's weird t see even the odds for Rennais is close to Lyon.
The fact that Lyon won three game recently is a confidence boost for them and looking at it form that light, you may definitely want to agree to the fact that they have better chances at winning this game because they will still be having that confidence in the fact that they will be able to win this fixture aswell just like they did with recent games.

The need to exit the relegation is enough drive for Lyon to strive to win this game because if they do they will definitely be  few points away from the relegation zone on the table which will means safety for them by the end of the season, the last time both team met rennais has won most of the time and in today's fixure it's sad how Lyon is loosing already as rennais is already three goals ahead which means they are winning todays game without much doubts.

The pressure that Liverpool will feel is not in the European League, but in their own local league because that will be much more important for Liverpool than in the European League. So as long as Salah is not in the squad because he is hampered by his injury recovery, Liverpool must be able to handle every important match very well even though they have to work hard through several other players who they can rely on to carry out important matches that can keep them profitable.
The news of klop leaving by the end of this season will definitely mount even more pressure on the team than it has been before now, because klop will want to make sure to achieve the last of that which he can achieve before he leaves Liverpool especially the Europa league which he's yet to get while still in Liverpool.

The absence of Salah seem not to have really been a problem to Liverpool so far because they have been able to win some games even I'm his absence, he may not be able to perform in most of their recent games but then they can b sure to still secure some wins and for tough games draws to be able to keep up with their status as it should to giving them the possibility of winning the Europa and possibly the premier league and if they are able to win either of these two trophies, it will be the last klop will be helping them get before he leaves Liverpool to rest or to go els where.

Napoli is one of the big clubs in Seria A but they're facing struggles and this is probably no good news for the team. Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis have doubts of not becoming a competent president just in the case of Florentino Pérez who's outstanding and keep his team level up and running. There's no records of Real Madrid climbing below 5th position in their league but what's happening to Napoli is even consider worse, they're out of the way and they will continue to suffer without any concrete changes in their formation.
Napoli's current crisis is such that they will definitely get out of it soonest they haven't been doing too bad recently, they were not in a really good shape as at last year but then this year they have been trying to show some improvement in their performance and I'm very optimistic that their key player returning from the AFCON soon will also help boost their performance aswell.

The case  of Madrid actually wasn't this bad and currently Napoli will not be able to defend their title, it's obvious that osimhen is very key and important to how much they will be able to achieve in a season, Napoli will not be needing much of a formation change butthe return of their key player may be all they will need to stay in a good position on their league table, all hope isn't lost fkr for them as they can still make it to the top four if they improve after now.

The good news for Real Madrid is about their injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Courtois had a good performance at the start of the season but after getting injured and not being in the good form, Andriy Lunin took his place in the team and he became the first goalkeeper of Real Madrid and Kepa Arrizabalaga played in some games for them. But now Courtois is training in Valdebebas and he is getting back to the good form. His training is good enough like he was never injured and it seems Real Madrid can hope to see their first goalkeeper back soon and help them in the next games they are going to have.
This is good news  to boost the confidence of the Real Madrid team because, knowing how solid your defense and the keeper is will boost the confidence of the strikers knowing that if they are able to get goals their back  line will be able to defend their goals and keep them from conceding.

The confidence from the back been able to cover up for mistakes that the strikers may make that may be taken advantage of to be a counter attack is enough to keep the strikers at optimal performance. The Real Madrid squad is turning out very formidable daily such that I'm beginning to have this much confidence in that to be able to win both the la Liga and the champions league this season because they have got good strikers already and now having their first choice keeper at their post to ensure they get their balls safe is a reason to be at the top of their performance.

Xabi Alonso and Thomas Tuchel will continue their fight in high places. Our opinion matters in this scenario, we have clubs that we wished to win and the ones that will flop, but only the best team will go home with magnificent scores and major titles. Been a while we watch top competitive race in the Bundesliga and this season comes differently. Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are the trending clubs in Germany, they don't exposed their weaknesses to oppositions, these clubs knows themselves and striving harder to win games.
The fight for the top position and who goes home with the trophy This season between Thomas tuchel's team and xabin Alonso's boys has given the league a new face this season as this isn't what we are used to, over the years by this team Bayern Munich would have already been at the top of the table with much points difference leaving others behind.

I still trust Xabi Alonso's team but I'm very much aware that Tuchel's team are not relenting either as they will still want to defend their title this season again, it's been almost very difficult trying to find a weakness around either of Bayern Munich or Bayer Leverkusen upon which one could capitalize to put them at disadvantage to see if they secure a win against them but both team has got a very dynamic pattern of Play that keeps them not dependent on any player or strategy which has been their advantage so far this season in the bundesliga.

Even though many say Real Sociedad can beat PSG because they are not a farmer's league, I still admit that PSG is much better than Sociedad in terms of team quality. I am sure PSG will be able to beat Sociedad and advance to the next round. I don't underestimate Sociedad because we know they are performing quite well in the league and are ranked 6th in the standings. But with the quality of players both have, I think PSG is clearly far superior.
I'm not of the Opinion that Real sociedad will be able to beat PSG probably because they think PSG is currently too weak to win Real Sociedad, well Real sociedad may currently appear good in form and may as well be doing fairly in their domestic league which could be considered a boost to their confidence but I still don't see them to be able to win PSG.

The team quality nof PSG and their squad depth is very much better than that of Real sociedad and by performance, PSG has got a very much better performance than that of Real sociedad, and PSG has got more experience and determination but this doesn't mean Real sociedad is in any way to be underestimated because in football especially with the champions league, anything is very much possible and it's very true Real sociedad in a bid to get pass the round of sixteen could do everything possible.

Today I saw this sad news:
That was very sad news. I won't be able to get Klopp out of my mind when I think of Liverpool. People will continue to remember Klopp as one of the greatest coaches Liverpool has had. Liverpool's current golden generation was all built by Klopp over these nine years. It was a very long time and there were many beautiful memories and moments created with Klopp. I just hope Klopp has a legacy for Liverpool. And I love the football that Klopp has implemented into Liverpool's game which makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch.
Klop has been in Liverpool for the longest of time you can think of, and all the while, he's been of great impact to the team and has won them trophies and also done so much for the team that the records are really much. Klop has given so much to Liverpool it's almost a decade with the team and it's very okay if at this point he's leaving.

Some persons were of the speculations that he's leaving due to he's age and some are saying he's tired and wants to rest but either of it is still considered a good enough reason having spent so many years with the team already, I saw a post where it was stated that he said he makes six press conferences weekly and ofcourse thats so much of work already to take a break from, there's also speculations of Salah leaving too by the end of the season, I see the golden era of Liverpool taking a pause as they will have to be on a journey to rebuild by next season.

It is not something that is special with only gamblers, when someone is having or engaging in a fun activity that requires them to spend their money and their money planned for that activity is exhausted, there is usually the urge to pull out more funds from other budget to try and have some more fun, it is the same with gamblers. This urge is a test of self-control, and every adult and mature gambler without self-control will fail this test. As a gambler, the more resistant you are to this urge to lose self-control, the harder it will be for you to become an addicted gambler.
That urge to bring out some extra funds is actually normal with almost every gambler and fun seeker, it's actually not a new feeling i'v had a similar experience before Andi tried my best not to further use money ment for something else, at a time I had to take a walk and leave the place and that helped me save the money I would have used again.

If you have got some level of discipline, you will know how well to control yourself not to get hooked in the trap of using another Money which wasn't ment for such to fund such entertainment or gambling. This discipline which helps you get much self control over your emotions and urge to satisfy that desire will help you not get addicted and aswell not to loose or spend money you wouldn't have ordinarily and avoid some issues that would have come around such aswell.

It is not bad to continue gambling until you die or until you are unable to have your brain functioning properly because of old age. An old man that still have fun while gambling should continue to have the fun if he is not wasting money on it, so far it is just little amount of money and having fun with it.
Sometime gambling at old age could be a lot detrimental as compared to how It will be with a young person especially if such an old person have some health conditions but I'd the person isn't down with any condition and is mainly doing it for fun, it could be considered okay for such a person but outside that is not really healthy.

One of the effects it's definitely going to have on Old people especially those who are challenged health wise and are not gambling for fun or entertainment they may go down with worse health conditions when they finally lose their funds to gambling, they may aswell suffer anxiety or even get depressed basically it's just not healthy for leme say broke old people but for those who can afford it, they can get entertained from it and it will be considered okay.

After going through the thread below titled "Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting?"
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475889.0)
I think it's possible using some sporting strategies. I wish to know which strategy have you been using to win big as a gambler.
No strategy is assuring of you becoming a millionaire gambling, most persons who turned millionaire gambling didn't have a strategy they were following only a few did have such a  strategy and some made millions not when they were following the strategy but when they were doing random picks.

Because gambling is a game with high dependency on luck, you never can tell when it's best a time to win or what strategy will nest vet you to millions because you can be using a particular strategy for a while and it will work but once it fails, you may lose all that you av got already because by then you may have trusted the strategy so well that you go in big and may not expect such outcome at that moment. the only strategy I do advice is getting a good risk management strategy so you always stay safe even in loosing days.

This is not like the French League or Eredivise where the first place team leads the standings by a very long way in points. Munich is only 4 points behind Leverkusen. And both teams still have to face strong opponents in the League. They will also meet on February 11. So I think Munich's chances of winning the league are still very big. We know Leverkusen is playing very well this season but I see that Munich has a much better squad than Leverkusen so they can rotate their players better and this of course will affect the team's overall performance and mentality.
Munich definitely still have a chance to win the trophy this season, they are not ruled out yet because they are just a few points away from Leverkusen but if only they loose their next fixtures and Leverkusen wins there's then it will be that the point difference will be so large that Munich chances will become even slim to winning the league title.

Leverkusen's second meeting with Bayern Munich is going to be a really tough one on the 11th of Feb because both teams will want to exercise their prowess on showing who is possibly superior in the bundedliga this season but Bayern Munich will definitely want to exercise superiority but I doubt if Leverkusen will be giving them such chance, most likely Leverkusen may draw this again and still maintain their unbeaten record this season but then I really want to see a new name dominating the bundeliga and it's most possible with Leverkusen.
