You're right, the strategy Arteta used today no one saw that coming and I got really happy seeing Arsenal dominating, today Arteta and his boys didn't just dominate but rather they scored more goals, I love the changes Arteta made and if you observed the match you will find out that the last changes made the team more strong and at that time everyone played with their effort, nice job from Martinelli and I'm hoping the gunners will defeat Nottm Forest.
Concerning the poor performance from Crystal Palace although they made a little effort but it was not even enough to fight back and Arsenal took advantage of their weakness, I believe this win today shows Arsenal are fully back .
Arteta did used a very brilliant strategy and it did yield the results they desired to get from the strategy but then I don't think it's enough to celebrate that much because they won against a team that isn't team that we expected Arsenal to have performed any leads against even in their weak form.

Crystal palace is normally very inconsistent this season, sometimes they have got very good performance but at some point they do even much lesser than they have ever been so I wasn't really surprised see them perform that poor against Arsenal, arteta should be able to maintain the tactics he used today but then he should further improve because this tactics may not work on other team if the way it did on palace because of their weak form if it were to be other teams with better form in the premier league, they are definitely going to give Arsenal a tough time and the goals wouldn't be that much.

Each person has their own preferences, so as long as you are spending your money in something that you like then your behavior is acceptable, what can be a problem is that it seems you like chasing your losses and this can be dangerous, because the more you gamble the more losses you will get, which in return will create a stronger desire to keep gambling and so on, so try to control those feelings, and if you do then you will be free of that issue and any negative repercussions that behavior could have brought to you.
Definitely the negative repercussions that can come with such continuing gambling habits is most definitely addiction which will beat problem to both the gambler and his closet related People around them. Gambling for fun too can at some point turn this bad too aswell where you will crave for wins after too many losses and with the hope that you will win back your money.

Sometimes there are things you like and spending your money on them because you like them , will never be acceptable because sometimes that could be at the detriment of other people, so before you venture into spending your money the way you like make some reconsideration, the concept of chasing losses is one very dangerous end in gambling that most gambler seem not to take note of how dangerous it can be because they are yet to be hit by it's adverse effects, sometimes it could possibly lead to addiction without out the players consent.

I would dream of stopping gambling when I get $100k, and I don't think that's possible because I won't be mentally ready to accept a win that big, and we know that getting a big win requires quite a lot of capital too, we not knowing the situation when we have reached the target, it turns out we are addicted to playing, we'll see...
This is you indirectly saying you are not leaving gambling anytime soon or maybe you are gambling for some very long time more again because winning a $100k isn't something you will be getting just in a day or by a single bet, I doubt if there's any casino who allows you win up a $100k on a single bet slip except you are going to play multiple bet slips to get to such amount.

Addiction too can also make you not to stop even after winning such amount a d it's almost impossible you win UpTo such amount without getting addicted at some point in your gambling habit. Such huge amount of money will means that you would have exhibited some level of consistency gambling with a good track record of consistent wins in a row over a period of time as it's almost not possible any casinos gives such amount of win on sports betting but I think it may be possible with another games on which you can gamble.

When you are a player like Mbappe, a good, even great player but with a great team and end up winning the world cup at very very early age, even before you win UCL, you sort of think that World Cup is great, but it is not as special as some other players make it out to be, because you won it when you were like what 19-20 years old? It doesn't feel like it's that important, you do not grasp the value of winning something like that properly, even though he is probably aware how much it worths, he can't fully understand it like Messi can.

Messi won EVERYTHING before he won world cup, that dude has won everything he could ever win, he was the best player for a whole decade, even more, and of course when he finally won the world cup after winning everything else, that must have felt a lot better.
Messi literally got the world cup trophy when he was almost getting pass the peak of his career but then it has become more valuable to him because he knew how long he had to stay before he was able to get hold of the trophy, a player like Ronaldo who isn't privilege to get hold of the world cup his entire career would understand better.

Mbappe well may understand the worth of the trophy he won at a very young age even if it may seem like he doesn't and I'm sure he at no point see it any less. Now mbappe is wanting to win other elite trophies such as the champions league which has been one of the reasons he's been making attempt for moves away from PSG so that he will further increase his chances of winning the champions league in any team he will be willing to go to after he must have left PSG.

It is going to be a keenly contest game as both clubs are in need of a win here. Leipzig has the advantage as they are playing in their home so that will be enough reason for them to push for a win in this game. But Leverkusen are used to playing in tough games this season so I think it will be a match full of action.
Both team really to get three points by the end of the game so that they will be able to stay at the top of the table for Leverkusen a d then for Leipzig to move up the table further and making sure they are able to maintain a spot around the top four teams on the table. If Leipzig lose their match and Dortmund wins their next game they will be displaced.

Bayern Leverkusen may lose their position at the top of the table if they are unable to win this game as this will further narrow the margin between them and Bayern Munich who's currently in a very good form and wants to get to the top of the table as they are currently seven points behind Leverkusen and if Leverkusen wins they will be 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich but if they draw they will be just eight points ahead of which if Munich wins their next game they will be just five points behind Leverkusen that's if Leverkusen gets a draw against Leipzig.

Liverpool can survived without Mohammed Salah in the squad, they play together and the absence of Salah will not pose any threat.
But Liverpool relies heavily on Muhammad Salah to win in most of their games just as Manchester city rely heavily on Kevin De-bruyne to win most of their games as well, taking Salah out of the picture, the absence will really be felt in the Liverpool's future games; However, it doesn't mean that they can't survive without him, but they have to learn to win with or without his presence in the team.

I don't think it's true both teams really heavily on both players as mentioned by you above but then in the case of Manchester city it's no doubts how Kevin de bruyne has been of great impact to their performance and progress in the various leagues they play and all through the period of his injuries Manchester city has been doing well regardless which means the reliance on him isn't that heavy.

His return from injury has really helped Manchester city especially with the fact that haland and doku are currently not present too, with Liverpool Salah is a very key player who no doubts helps the team a great extent this will be the first time this season they are going to play in his absent for this long time, but then I'm sure they  will sur look for a good alternative in his absence even recently before Salah got injured at the AFCON, Liverpool were able to win a game in his absence and they did performed really welll which could means they don't have that much dependency on him but his presence has got a lot to helping them especially with creativity.

Manchester City is the favorite to win their UEFA Champions League last 16 matches with Copenhagen when they meet next month. I do not see Manchester City using aggregate to qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League because they will win against Copenhagen at home and away.
Manchester city is definitely not getting pass the round of sixteen by aggregate because Copenhagen isn't a team that will make Manchester city have tough Time playing them, although since it's the UCL, Copenhagen may want to put up strong resistance so as to get Manchester city working really hard to deserve a win .

Copenhagen isn't a very good team and even in the champions league they didn't perform too well but we're somehow lucky to have gotten pass the group stage because their performance wasn't such that will be considered excellent or brilliant enough to have gotten them pass the group stage so I don't see them been able to triumph over Manchester city rather they will just try to draw to be able to create a possible advantage for them but then if the lose once and draw the other time they are still going to be knocked out moreover Manchester city is now even stronger with the return of KDB and others in anticipation most definitely it's the end of the UCL journey for Copenhagen.

Rayo Vallecanohad a res card which turned out advantageous to Las Palmas and they did got three points with a 2-0 defeat I'm their today's games, keeping las Palmas at the eighth position on the table with 31 points while  Rayo Vallecano is now at the 12th position with 23 points having lost three and won one of their last five game.

The red card came in after las Palmas had already gotten a goal in First half of the game and their second goal came in the second half of the game after rayo vallencano had a red card. Slaves in the other fixture today in the la Liga won Cadiz by a goal they got in the early minutes of the second half of the games, they were able to maintain the goal to give them three points which have gotten them to 11th position with 23points winning two and loosing two game out of their last five games.

Quote from: entertheabyss
We have every reason to be skeptical about Juventus' performance this season, as it has taken an extended period for the Old Lady to step up their game and become a formidable competitor to Inter Milan for the scudetto. I've always supported Juventus since the start of the 2023/2024 Seria A season because it's been a long time since they won the scudetto and the club ended up in wreckage when they broke an important rule in the system led them to face ban from participating in elite competitions. We can only be proud of football when our favorite team maintains a winning streak in the system.

Juventus has be a threat to Inter Milan since they took over the second position from AC Milan and they are very close to Inter Milan with points and anything that will make Inter Milan to lose any game in their remaining games, it will give Juventus opportunity to take over the first position in the Italy serie A table.


I believe you know that it will be very difficult for Juventus to win this trophy this season because, Inter Milan has show up more interest on this trophy from the beginning of this tournament to beaten many teams to get to where they are today in the Italy serie A.
Currently Juventus is really trying it's best to be a threat and matching contender against inter Milan and they just need to be more consistent and make sure to get some more wins to complement their current point to aid their move to the top of the table, they actually didn't start the season with a good performance and it's probably affecting their current position on the table.

But for a team who had a weak forma at the beginning of the season currently they should be considered performing well as they were able to get to the top of the table at a point when they picked up a good form and improved performance, inter Milan has actually stayed around the top four team on the team from the begin of this season and Juventus had to work their way through to the top, I think it will be more clear if Juventus will be able to win the scudetto by the end of the season after the UCL round of sixteen will begin and inter Milan will have to maintain a balance between the UCL and the serie A.

What Nice and Monaco lack is consistency in play. I think it is normal that underdogs rule the league at the start of last season then their results decline as the season progresses. This can happen because the underdog team usually does not have enough squad depth to maintain consistency in play. Injuries and fatigue are what underdogs suffer from and when that time comes, they will struggle in the second half of the season.
Nice could be a great team but they are not consistent with their performance and results and it has really affected their form and position on the standing so far this season, apart from PSG, Nice happens to be another team in the french league (Ligue 1) who have got a good performance which if improved could contend strongly against PSG.

Last season Nice seemed to appear much better than they are now, but this isn't enough to consider Nice as an underdog team, Monaco could be seen in such perspective but NICE has got a performance that is considerable above average and they have finished to four on the table several times in the Ligue 1, currently they are at the second position on the table while Monaco is at the fourth position on the table even with their relatively average performance, if Nice have some level of consistency and improved performance it's very much possible they may turn out a threat to PSG soonest.

A completely bad day for Crystal Palace, they did not create any sufficient threat or attempts to score a goal and Arsenal had all the chances in the game, controlled the midfield and scored five goals. It will be a big motivation for Arsenal to reignite their title chase again. For Crystal Palace Manager, his job is on the line, because Crystal Palance did not play well and have been having a series of bad results in the premier league. The result takes Arsenal to third on the table of the premier league. There is a lot of focus on Brentford and Nottingham Forest now, if any of them wins the game, they will push Crystal Palace down the more on the table.
This result is exactly what was expected of Arsenal as I wasn't expecting any less but they did beat my expectations tho because tho I expected a win but not with this much big margin which I consider a flawless victory, Arsenal isn't any match with crystal palace as they are much better than the crystal palace team.

I'm their performance in the game, Arsenal did performed much better than crystal palace and dominated a greater part of the game, crystal palace tried to see if they could minimize the number of goals they concede but they sadly couldn't as they in the first half conceded two goals and the other three in the second half. On the standing, Arsenal is now at the third position on the table with 43 points , which is giving them a chance of possibly get to the top of the table if they can maintain a winning streak after now till the rest part of the season, palace is now at 15th position with 21 points

To be honest, I'm also quite disappointed with the results. But yes, lost is still lost and now we are more focused on La Liga and UCL. At least this means that Real Madrid only needs to focus on these two leagues. It cannot be denied that the good performance of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in this match was quite satisfying. Not a bad game, but Atletico did play more effectively.

It cannot be denied that this time, Atletico Madrid did play better and more effectively. This is a match that is quite interesting and fun. Now there are only a few steps left to get to the Cooa del Rey championship. There are still Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and also Girona who are his favorite candidates.
Atletico currently have their morales boosted as they were able to win one of the toughest team across Spain this Season, it's enough for them to feel they are on track making good progress already but then I know real Madrid wouldn't allow such happen in the la Liga to the point they will loose with such a margin.

Atletico was really effective with their performance and they did played excellent well with enough for such win to be considered a deserving one, real Madrid is definitely hoping to do better in another league where they participate. Atletico had the first goal before real Madrid did record their first goal as an equalizer and same happened to the second goal until real Madrid could no longer contain the goals in the extra time where atletico went hard on Madrid and got two goals which saved the day.

I've visioned Liverpool to become one of the favourite to reach good positions in Europa League. Liverpool headcoach, Jurgen Klopp have implemented one of the best collective game pattern in Anfield and it have helped them achieve significant titles over these past years. Checking the club's lineup, they have efficient players that can enchanced the performance of the club and bring out the best among the best performance. Liverpool can survived without Mohammed Salah in the squad, they play together and the absence of Salah will not pose any threat.
Talking about MOH Salah's absence not causing much threat is unagreeable to a very far extent because MOH Salah is like the most creative attacker Liverpool have got and his absence will means less creativity for a chance to get a goal but it doesn't mean Liverpool will not be able to win games in his absence.

Liverpool will definitely win a few games and possibly get to win a trophy aswell but then understanding that MOH Salah been present in the team will mean a lot to Liverpool as it regards their wins, number of goals and even their win rate. There's definitely a good difference between matches where Salah played and that which Salah is absent. Liverpool has got a good squad regardless and can in the meantime cover up for Salah and still make sure the team is able to stay at the top and possibly win the trophy.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 19, 2024, 09:14:26 PM
I think Arsenal is the favorite of the upcoming match, despite the fact that the team can not win in recent games. Yes, the Gunners are on a losing streak. But the game with Crystal Palace is a good opportunity for the club to break the losing streak. Crystal Palace will not be able to do anything against their opponent, despite the fact that Sallah is absent from the Arsenal squad.
Arsenal is at home and that alone is enough advantage for them regardless of their form especially when playing against weak team such as crystal palace, Arsenal is expected to have nothing but victory by the end of this game, but then a loss is possible but it's one thing arsenal is definitely not expecting or seeing coming not from crystal palace visiting them.

It's still very possible they end the game in a draw as football is a game of surprise and anything can happen at anytime. Brentford have a five unbeaten record against Nottingham forest but then Brentford recently experienced a loss against wolves which got them crashing out of the FA cup over the week, I see that as enough to be affecting their psychology which may inturn extended to their performance but then both teams are just average team and I'm not in much anticipation as to what the outcome will be but then it's important neither of both teams underestimate each other.
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 19, 2024, 08:59:28 PM
I don't know if everyone is aware of this that the more risks you takes on your predictions is the more higher the game odds, and this set of gambling demands lower stakes due to the chances to win is extremely high. Strategically, you are trying to safe your funds from some sort of impossible winning because it is obvious that you are daring the game with such high risks.

And the lower risks you takes on your predictions is the smaller the game odds which you may demand higher stakes to secure an appreciative winning. Although there is still no assurance of winning here for winning in gambling is strictly game of luck.

This is all about you either faces your fears and ready to accept what it brings or you withdraws from your fears and minimizes the threats outcomes.

The game of gambling like you did said is a very risky, it's a game of luck such that the higher you risk with odds the lower the amount of stake you will have to stake to win big but the lower your odds the higher the stake you may need to win big but at same time it still doesn't guarantee. Winning because gambling have got so much of uncertainties.

Knowing all these some will still prefer to take the risk believing that if they win they become very profitable but otherwise they lose their funds. Well all these are strategies people use to be able to increase their chances of winning their games, you have to always look for that edge if you must stay winning in gambling and this edge could be a winning strategy or a risk management strategy which is what lead's to some persons employing this pattern stated up above

Roma vs Verona team match will start tomorrow in Italian League. In this match, Roma team has more chances to win. Because Roma is still at number 9 in the points table. On the other hand, Verona team is at number 18. I have seen that Verona team did not play well in the previous matches.  If Verona team players perform well in the match, maybe Verona team can win. But it will be very difficult for Verona team to win with Roma. Looking forward to enjoy this match, let's see what happens tomorrow.
The current position of Roma isn't a reason they should be considered as better than their opponent Verona, but then Roma still stand as a better side when compared to Roma, this includes their performance so far this season although Verona hasn't been extremely bad but they still doesn't have excellent performance.

A critical look in to the performance, strength and dept of both teams and you will observe that in according to their H2H, they have both have equal win rate and draws so I think they are both matching in strength because they mostly alternate and the last time they met Verona won them so this time Roma may likely win because the have the home advantage and they even have a better form currently than Verona. In the last five games of both teams, Verona has got more wins than Roma and Roma lost more games than Verona let's keep our fingers crossed as we await the result of the game

Leverkusen is in top form and they are also in high confidence at the moment even though they will play at home to RB Leipzig, but I think the Leverkusen team's great motivation to maintain the top of the standings makes their chances of getting 3 points very big.
RB Leipzig has been a strong Bundesliga team in the last few seasons, but they often cannot maintain consistency, so for several seasons they have not been able to compete with Bayern in the race for the Bundesliga title.
The fixture is for tomorrow, Leverkusen will be hosted by Leipzig and I see that as an advantage for Leipzig already as they do have some good records with games played at home this season, they have lost only but a few at home and just like every other team they wouldn't want to lose at he so they will be very resistive at every of Leverkusen's efforts.

Leverkusen has been very formidable recently and are still doing so well that even up till this time they have been able to maintain a good track record of their performance this season which I think is a good confidence boost for them because in the bundesliga so far, they have been faced by almost every team and yet didn't suffer a defeat from any of them, which is a clear indication that they will be confidence to gave Leipzig without a having a doubt of victory but I think they will most likely draw because Leipzig will be really bent on not loosing at home in this game.

We have to remember that Manchester City, like Paris Saint-Germain, had a transfer-oriented mentality before. For a while they thought they could win everything by spending a lot of money on transfers, but they were wrong. Then, after Pep Guardiola took charge of the team, they had some changes and they reached the level they are today. I think if Paris Saint-Germain want to be successful, they should sign a good manager like Manchester City and hand over the management of the team to him. Luis Enrique is the right name for them. Now I think they should give him more initiative and wait.
This has been exactly what I have taught of all along, that PSG should have adopted as buy big and notable players was never all they needed to get the best out of their team but then it's some how that they seem not to understand that yet and are still just spending with hopes of winning the trophy.

Just like you did mentioned Manchester city has learnt their lessons and have gotten to the point where they are now much better than they used to be and even more formidable than other teams across Europe, if PSG is focused now on building the current players they have they will make a good team in no time, they have a very good coach already so they don't even have problem with the quality of coach or their team, the problem now lays with their tactical form and their ability to possessing a good team work mentality amongst team members .

The cute news of Salah's injury is going to be a set back for Liverpool team and an advantage for others who are also top contenders for the Europa this season, even Leverkusen also have similar case with victor Boniface but I'm their case they have got just but a little dependence on victor than Liverpool does on Salah.

AC Milan is the only top team in the Europa currently with an even team because even Roma is currently having their own fair share of the whole issues as they are battling with the change of coach and trying to get along with their coach so the team gets back to their form, so it's very likely the round of sixteen will definitely going to be a bit though and maybe below expectations because the top teams at this point are having one thing or the other to battle with but then I still trust Liverpool and Leverkusen to be able to maintain their frame and get the best out of the Europa this season.

According to some news report the gravity of Salah injury is yet to be confirmed and ascertain by Liverpool until after a Scan with MRI thereafter an announcement would be made to know the period he would be on sideline  for now I don't think Salah would play the next match for his country, meanwhile Salah absence in Liverpool starting eleven would have a great impact on the side, he provides assists as well as score goals for Liverpool the likes of Nunez, Gakpo and Luiz Diaz are not profilic and not a clinical finisher like Salah who created chances out of nothing to help Liverpool win matches let wait and see how the team would cope without him.
It's really a sad news for Liverpool to take but they are left with almost no choice because that's the current situation of their key player and the only solution is to wait for him and hope he gets well soon and back on the pitch with them to get the team back in their form for the rest of the season.

Klop and other team players are sure not happy about the new development of the fact that Salah is suffering this injury gotten from AFCON and is very likely it will take a long while before recovery for him to be able to get back to Liverpool, let's see if klop has got a good replacement pending the return of Salah or better still he could try rotational tactics to seeing if it could keep the team going, their Europa and premier league dream will to an extent be threatened by this injury because the presence of Salah has got so much impact in helping them getting the various league titles.
