These two teams are experiencing different performances, Arsenal has been very consistent in the last five matches in the EPL, the consecutive wins achieved by Arsenal are good capital in continuing the UCL. Meanwhile, Porto is inconsistent in maintaining its performance, in the last five matches they were only able to achieve three wins, one draw and one defeat. Arteta is very enthusiastic about this game, he will direct his players to play like when they beat Liverpool. Arsenal's goal productivity is a threat to Porto, even though Arsenal's status is the visiting team in this game, they will be able to control the match with the good capital they have in the last five matches.
Obviously Arsenal has got the advantage over Porto and this isn't even negotiable at all because Arsenal is currently performing so we'll, going by their records in the premier league, they won all of their recent five games with out much stress, they won these game with good goal margin which shows they are in a very great form.

Porto isn't in a very bad situation but they are not looking like a good contender to Arsenal but I've always believed that champions league games is such that we would take for granted and so in such cases, anything can happen at anytime and even the weak team could turn out to win or hold the tough team to a draw so Arsenal is the favourite and is expected to against all odds win the game but then it's very possible that uncertainties can happen as usual because it's football where anything can actually happen.

In the last five games,. Manchester united has been able secure four wins and a draw, and I really do see this as a very impressive result that will definitely take Manchester united to finish amongst the top four team in the premier league this season if only they are able to maintain this form, their next game results will determine their next position on the table.

Manchester united is now three points behind Tottenham which means if they win their next game and Tottenham losses theirs then Manchester united will be at the fifth position on the table, Manchester united will be facing fullham in their next fixture and it's definitely not going to be a very easy game even though fullham is just an average team I'm still very optimistic tho because Manchester united is gradually looking promising and they will definitely want to maintain this frame so they can get to the top four before the end of the season.

Both of you are right actually and each gambler differs so basically we are seeing those gamblers that don't have control for themselves that they won't earn much money after they've just won in gambling.
But in real life, we don't know if they're the same person or there's already the life attachment for that daily gambler's life and then with the set of reality that he's dealing with and if he's emotional as well.
Anyway, it's true that someone's control over his emotion doesn't guarantee success in gambling but it helps right.
Emotional control is one great thing a gambler can make sure to get because if they can control their emotions, they will most definitely get to gamble better and responsibly as their gambling habit then grows to get a better gambling habit because they no longer just gamble randomly as their habit bis now under control as they have control of their emotions.

Success in gambling has nothing really much to do with your emotions but then it's a factor that can't be really over looked because after a few losses then your emotions could actually set in and this also applies to wins too because you will get overly excited or probably emotional about gambling and then will want to stake some more because it feels like you are on a winning streak.

I agree with you. In my opinion, the Porto vs Arsenal match is not as interesting as the Napoli vs Barcelona match. My reason is because Porto will face one of the strongest teams in the Champions League this season. I am not underestimating Porto but in my opinion Porto's level is still below Arsenal's level and the odds entering this match are also very favorable for Arsenal to win the match. Napoli vs Barcelona is much more interesting because the strengths of the two teams are equally balanced. Both have the same chance of winning depending on which team is able to perform better that night.
Arsenal Porto match is a game that somehow we can already speculate Arsenal to win considering the recent form of Arsenal and the fact that they are in a league that way more competitive than that were in Porto is and yet they are doing so well already which means they are most likely to perform better than Porto in their meeting.

Barcelona has really been in an unstable form which I can't say if they are even really in a good form enough but I believe that they Will try their best to get the best out of this game, Napoli to isn't that much in perfect form either but then if their key player who helps their morale will be playing that game then I can be sure they will be very expectant about their results at the end of the game but then both team currently have the equal chance to get pass the round of sixteen until after this game this game we can say if one has got above the other.

I opened a betting account today (don't have to mention) but when I bet on their virtual games, they don't have the kind of options I am expecting to see but only provides more like only 4 options which are home win, away win, draw and over. So I bet if I could win but luckily for me I won ×2 of what I deposited, then I withdrawed the funds and mailed them to block the account because I don't find anything suitable for my liken but they replied me saying they can't and I have to make use of the account until 90 days before they can block the account.
However, it's my money and they can't force me to use it, so they have to block the account. I see that the only way to stay away from the betting account is not to fund it again.
So can anyone force you to make use of what you don't dislike?
I don't see this as anyone trying to force any one to use something they probably don't want to use, it's just a matter of a policy that you seem not to be really or actually comfortable with and then it's now looking like you are been forced to use the account for that period of time. Normally every casino have got their policies and they definitely try to stick with it.

Not been able to block the account till after 90 days is something you should understand and like you have mentioned you can aswell decide not to fund again and avoid using the betting platform for awhile after which you can check back on the account after 90 days then you you throw in your application for the account to be blocked again and maybe this time they could actually get your account blocked for you just the way you want it to be.just do that which you have taught of doing and you will have yourself safe and the desired action you want will be taken on your account soon.

Marseille played really badly. Brest played with 10 men for almost 40 minutes, but at the end of the day they were the winners. Marseille had difficulty even attacking. They are a far cry from their old, powerful days. Brest, on the other hand, is in very good form this year and they are playing well. Even though they played poorly, they did not make it felt.
Brest hasn't been that bad since this season actually, they have been more of an average team and they try to make sure they don't loose too much especially to teaam they would consider weak but they make sure they get to steal a point or three from them and that was exactly what they did to Marseille.

Marseille has exhibited inconsistency recently, they almost equate their wins and their losses so you can't tell at some point what they can be capable of because they may dash your trust just when you feel they are going to perform well. I don't think the game yesterday wasn't a very fair one for Marseille because they too also performed really well and were aswell not putting up a very bad performance so they were more like not really lucky.

I think Roma had a hard game against Frosinone. Frosinone tried hard and showed skill even though they weren't great at keeping the ball or scoring. Roma had some trouble scoring but they still won and kept doing well. Both teams worked hard in the game. Roma did a good job securing their place in the standings. It was a tough win for Roma and showed how strong they are as a team.
Seeing that game like a tough one form Roma is something I wouldn't see as very true, I would rather say it was a challenging game for them but they were able to still stay ahead of their opponent with a very good point ahead which is exactly how it should be and they are now gradually climbing the table and will most likely finish  well this season.

Frosinone tried their best but then they were facing a team in their better form, winning Roma is gradually going to be something any team who's facing them must be above average because they are now much better then they were few months back under their former coach, except for tough teams who are at the top of their leagues, Roma will currently face average and weaker teams with a better tactics and most definitely get a win or at least a draw from them.

It was a truly surprising defeat. I also bet on Munich winning last night. I think very few people are betting on Bochum winning. In fact it seems almost non-existent. The results of this match were truly beyond expectations. Munich actually dominated the match with 10 shots on target and 70% ball possession. This result is very profitable for Leverkusen because the difference of 8 points means that Leverkusen must suffer 3 defeats where Munich won all the matches to shift Leverkusen. It looks like Leverkusen is the second team this season to have locked up the title after previously Inter Milan had locked it up first.
The profitability of this result for Leverkusen can be overly emphasized because a whole lot of pressure will be dropped and they will no longer have to play as if someone is behind them chasing them to win or draw but now play with good confidence because they know they will be able to win the trophy as they are at a better chance.

Bayern Munich is now looking so weak even in their performance and their form, i'v wondered what is the reason that have developed this form of weakness in recent times meanwhile they were supposed to be stronger because it's past mid season and every game at this point counts a whole lot for each of the team. I'm hopeful Munich will definitely get back infom and make sure to finish well by the end of the season but then it's very likely they will not be able to compete for the title this season again.

Girona's hopes have risen, but they definitely need to win the match they will play today. The team they play is Bilbao, one of the strongest teams this year. If they show their full strength against Bilbao, they can win and reduce the point difference. Bilbao will force them, but I think Girona has realized the importance of this match. They have to get a decisive win in this match.
Bilbao is a team thst will definitely give Girona a tough and hard game to play because Bilbao is in good form, their performance this season has been such that they have been able to always make sure to get good results at the end of the game or probably a fair result, their style of play in the last few game have shown that they are good.

Girona's most recent performance isn't really good after they had the encounter with Real Madrid, that game seem to have an effect on their confidence because they would have actually been even more confident if they had won or even had a draw, the fact that they had such a result would have ment to them that they can literally challenge any team in the la Liga and definitely hope to get a considerable fair result which could actually mean they are in a relatively good form.

Chelsea had an extremely good match against Mancity despite playing away, but it's clear that Chelsea's attack is really quite bad at scoring goals. They missed many opportunities to finish off Mancity. Jackson still showed his immaturity, but nonetheless, Chelsea's defense should be praised as they were able to fend off Mancity's attacks well in this match.
Chelsea's defense indeed deserves some accolades because they were really tough enough to resist all the attempt to get a second goal by Manchester city, they attacking force from Manchester city was really a good one and very commendable, they actually tried to stay ahead in the game but Chelsea was much more prepared then they taught.

I wasn't expecting this kind of performance from either sides because Manchester city was said to be in their very good form and Chelsea was aswell not really looking stable because in recent times I've noticed that Chelsea has not been really good with their premier league performance but has only been good out side premier league so I was expecting to see them in their regular premier league from and Manchester city been able to get ahead of the at once.

Manchester United acknowledge to be back on track, none of these really matters but the condition of the players also matters. What the Red Devils needs currently is patience, because they need it to execute good job and become very active during streak winning of matches. We should understand that these desperate fans can keep saying what they think is right and good for the development of the club but they're absolutely wrong because Erik Ten Hag is not just a man, but man that's willing to give second chances to players that made wrong footings on the ball.
I'm still not convinced yet if Manchester united is back on track because they are not a team thst has been stable this season, thy could win three to four games at once and then lose the reaming games they will be having ahead so it's been a norm for Manchester united this season.

Ten hangs willingness to giving second chance to any player or any of his team members isn't really a problem rather the problem is with been able to deliver the kind of results expected of him consistently and not a situation he will win once and the other time he's not winning so it's really not something that will get our confidence strong enough to depend on that the team is now in a good shape, moreover the season is almost coming to an end so they have got almost no time.

Mega threads sometimes are not there because they want people to Spam but you should understand that if a thread remains open there will always be a contribution someone out there will want to add to the thread and so the ideas remain unending because the thread is open.

The response given on a thread isn't all the time about what was exactly the reason such thread was started but then it's mostly that they may be responding to some other persons idea on the thread and it's nothing wrong with it and that's why until the thread is locked, there's always something to talk about on such threads, just like the thread of major football leagues and sports that are been discussed, there's always a respoy to what people have said they may sometimes be outside the main topic of discussion
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler lost what he couldn't afford to lost and broke his TV after game Lost on: February 18, 2024, 11:40:16 PM
Here in my hood, someone staked $1,000 to a bet with little odds and to all hope that there was no possibilities of him loosing the game but revise be the case that the game got cut off in just 3 minutes for the game over and then he could had cashed his winning.
It is quite unfortunate that he staked above what he could not afford to loose. So out of frustrations and anger he broke his TV on the process.

After his temper became calm, he ended up regretting to had lost his bet and went such a mile of destroying his TV.

He now makes two different lost counts at the caused of his inability to control his gambling emotions and his over confidence to had staked what he can't afford to loosed.
This is what we can see happen when you gamble with too many emotions that's what you have to go through because you will not be stable with your mind and you may not be rational enough with your taughts as you will be thinking that it's just you getting angry.

Most gamblers who act like this actually have got some emotional instability and are battling anger and so when it happens they are suffering losses they get More angry and tend to do crazy things as this which usually cost them even more because they will later regret for doing such as they are not in their best states of mind when they took such action, I don't know if it will be really right to say people who struggle with anger should avoid gambling.

Mistakes cannot be stopped unless we can control them well. I mean everything can still be calmed if we have an ego that can be controlled. Often we lose control when gambling and this sometimes becomes a driver that we cannot brake. The result is that we often forget and even regret when it is too late. So being more mature while it can save us.
Loosing control to your ego is something almost every gambler should always keep in check because it can actually cause a lot on them and they will think it's just a normal gambling habit until they must have lost a whole lot to gambling then they will then realize their mistake a d would want to possibly make amends.

Some persons aren't disciplined with the way they gamble and that's why they have to regret after in the long run about when they have lost a lot to their gambling habit and probably they don't have much to fall back to then they would rather throw blames around and wish they weren't involved in the gambling habit they did got into but then it's usually better if one can try to get everything under control before they had got to the point where they will regret.

We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
-Ease of playing and more casinos.
-Inventing new tools and methods of playing.
-Online gambling and the emergence of easy-to-use applications that support all games.
-The method of advertising has changed, becoming more effective and attracting more players.
-The presence of liquidity due to the increase in the amounts that players bet.
-Provides more profit opportunities..

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?
Definitely we could just summaries everything as evolution taking place because definitely there's this tendencies that everything will evolve and then get to the point where they can not be same as they used to be and will have some better improvement and changes so as to encourage good marketability and profitability aswell.

These improvement became necessary because they were needed to reach many customers across many regions without necessarily been in that regions and also help the casinos make more profit than they would if they had only few branches concentrated within a few areas where their reach is limited to but with the new invention there's almost no limits to how far the casinos can go and how many customers they can be able to reach out to at once.

The age of aging depends on the physique if it is able to maintain its performance and physical strength, the performance on the field will remain good and will not be affected. but if the physique weakens, playing will not be able to reach 90 minutes. when the physique weakens, even though the performance is still good, the brain and physique will not be able to synchronize, which has the effect of worsening performance on the field.
The performance a d strength is what the age factor do attack first before any other factors around the player because with almost every humans, it's normal to loose strength as age comes on them before their physical appearance would then show the effects of the age telling on them, so they will definitely not be able to perform like before.

The players may be trying to keep fit by carrying out routine training but then they will still not be as effective as they were when they were much younger so it's a general thing for players and not just their performance but even how well they will be productive and how well they will be contributing to the team will also be greatly affected and the team wouldn't want to be battling with having poor results when they have got players who could actually have helped them they will just have to sell off the old players and it's good for the old players to just resign.

But Arsenal's opponents will be very difficult. Arsenal's current game is good again and very consistent in winning with the score has been the last opponent of Burnley and West Ham despite playing away to his cage Westham and Burnley were able to win with a landslide score of 5-0 and 6-0. while FC Porto in the Champion League is a weak team opponent only Barcelona is strong and even then when meeting with Barcelona 2 home matches and both parties ended in defeat.
Arsenal is in a very good form currently so their opponent wouldn't really be much of a problem to them they may be able to get ahead in that game judging by their most recent performance as they have been winning a few games and has also performed so well in these games they have been winning so far and I think it's a boost to their confidence.

Since it's looking like they don't have a very good chance in their premier league games, they may try to see what they can do in the champions league where it looks like they have got better chance as it's looking like all the teams in the champions league has got equal chances since they are all still at the round of sixteen, beyond this stage we can tell teams with better potential in the champions league than others who may have managed to get pass the round of sixteen too.

A few weeks ago I thought that Feyenoord would be a slight favorite, but times have changed and they are playing much better at the moment. It was about a 50:50 game in the Netherlands with a little more advantage for Feyenoord. And really apart from the game against Inter Milan, which I think is ok to lose as they are so far ahead from everyone else in the Serie A, Roma has played some strong games with lots of goals and a few clean sheets as well. They have certainly improved by a lot, which I find surprising as their last coach wasn't just any coach, but Mourinho who couldn't find the right answers to the problems they were struggling with.
Actually to some persons feyenoord was like their favorite but then it was a 50:50 chances just like you did stated there was no certainty as to who could be the possible winner of the game because both teams weren't like weak team but average teams.

In the Netherlands league, feyenoord isn't doing really poor and their performance is such that I'm expecting they will be able to do something good within the Europa league this season even if they will not be able to win but then Roma is currently doing well too so it definitely going to be a tough one for them if they will be able to get beyond the stage they are now and get to the next stage of the league. Rossi wants to prove he's a good  Coach and will give his best to this league.

Lyon was losing points in this season a lot against weaker teams than Nice which made us think they are going to get relegated from the French League at the end of this season. Also, they were playing against a team like Nice while Nice was racing at the top of the French league with PSG for the title and  I was expecting to see Nice easily win this match and beat Lyon but they lost it with a 1-0 result.
Lyon is building strength so well that I they may not have any business around the relegation again this season and that's such a good and impressive improvement because at a time it did looked like they were going to be relegated due to their poor performance since this season but at the time they began to improve they have been doing great.

I actually didn't expect Nice who has seemed like a top team this season in the Ligue 1 to have lost to Lyon who just battled out of relegation but then it's a norm in football to expect surprises at some point I'm time when you never taught of such a surprise to take place and that's exactly what happened to Lyon against Nice. Nice did tried their best but Lyon just had their lucky day and so they couldn't take any less of the advantage they have seen and so securing Three points was all they wanted and they did got it.

Socidad took advantage of the red card their opponent got and got a win in the game, although socidad is a very good team, they have got very good performance and are also been performing so we'll this season so it was normal for them to have won that game but then they playing from away was looking like an disadvantage to them  tho.


Socidad is now at the sixth position on the table with 40 points haven lost on one of their last five games, won two and drew two they have had mostly average performance recently than a good performance but they are looking very promising with their performance and they may be able to secure a spot at either of the European top league by next season, the Europa or the champions league whichever they are able to qualify will be a good achievement.
