Even in that kind of setup, doing any other activities should not be applied, especially gambling. Gambling is not an activity for you to do multitasking. It requires your focus and probably a few hours to finish gambling. All those hours spent gambling will be wasted instead of doing your tasks on your job.
Multi tasking while gambling is very much possible but it won't be productive enough, but then it's dependent on the kind of gambler or kind of game on which you are gambling, if you are gambling in games that requires you monitoring them to the end such as slot or roulette then you may need all your attention focused on it.

Gambling on sports game may not require all of much attention, you may just have to make your picks and place a stake on them and wait till after the game before you check on the results of the game especially with football, basketball and other sports games. But it's very possible it could turn out distraction to you because at the point when the games are on going if you are still at  work you may be tempted to check the progress of the game and know if it's in your favor or not. It's very possible to multitask while gambling but it's not a responsible way of gambling as it's counterproductive.

I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?
When you talk about Altcoins, usually Bitcoin excluded and other included. The instability of most altcoins especially memecoins can be likened to gambling except you are a short term investor who takes profit in a very short period of time because these meme coins generate profit almost immediately and does same with losses

Except for a few most altcoins project are not firm enough to invest your full trust in them because they will at some point not move the way you may expected it. The instability associated with a few altcoins is the reason it's likened to gambling because some of the projects behind omw of these coins are not solid enough and can at anytime end without prior notice and that's almost exactly how it is with gambling too it may not be really wrong to see investing in Altcoins as gambling because it's only gambling that really does shuch short time with investment and profit is seen almost immediately.

Bundesliga is a competitive league, watching the performance of these teams sliding apart and some of them getting themselves together portrays how everything plays out. Injuries have turn out to be a very big problem for Bayern Munich, a  very tough decision for Thomas Tuchel to make because if he doesn't make the right decision, everything will definitely fall out of line for the team. Bayern Munich is an elite team and they have the possible tendency of meeting up the requirements of the team's level. Injuries affecting the club but Bayern Munich still stand strong enough to hold breath and deliver the club.
Injuries is something almost inevitable when it comes to football, so when a team is suffering injury, it's not abnormal or out of place but an almost very normal occurance that's common amongst football teams at a time in the season, sometimes it's possible a team may not suffer injury but it still doesn't displace the fact that injuries do happen.

I even see injuries as time when Coach can exercise their skillfulness and opportunity to put their experience to work, the coach at this time with will be able to prove how less dependent his team can be on a player and how he would be able to manage the team well amidst such situations and still get the best out of them, Bayern Munich maybe having their own fair share and I'm expecting tuchel to deploy his wealth of experience and it will further show his àbility to manage the team even amidst crisis which is a quality of a world class coach.

Liverpool and Chelsea match really exciting with Liverpool delivering masterpiece performance and pressuring Chelsea consistently. They've had one goal for their stress. Game on, I hope Chelsea can respond accordingly, but their defensive play isn't giving much hope in that regard. This match has a lot of surprises to unfold, let's keep our fingers crossed. Enzo Fernandez its really frustrated this evening, he's already gotten a yellow card. I hope he doesn't land himself into more troubles in the future.
Liverpool is now two goals ahead and they are very much deserving of every goal they had scored so far, looking at the performance of Liverpool and compare to what Chelsea has been doing since you will agree that Liverpool has been the better side so far, I wasn't expecting much from Chelsea aswell .

Chelsea hasn't been in a consistent form since this season so I somehow expected that such form or performance they have in recent time is not enough to contend Liverpool and hope to get a win because Liverpool in in their very good form recently and have been performing brilliantly in both the premier league and Europa which happens to be the two  most challenging league they are playing this season, hopefully by the end of the second half, Liverpool will definitely have three points to add to that which they have already.

This decision was very wise for Klopp because perhaps he himself was also very aware that if he continued his career with Liverpool there would be results he didn't want in the future. So he chose to end his career with the Liverpool team when the team was getting good results like now so that he would really be remembered by the team as a very good coach and had brought more success to Liverpool when he coached Liverpool. So, the time is right for Klopp to end his career if he feels he no longer has enough ability to train players like he used to.
Your point is supporting the phrase "leave when the ovation is still high" because any moment thereafter will be filled with mostly criticism which may rather downplay on the coach's efforts and sometimes will not help with their entire performance thereafter so leaving when you still have a couple bad results may not be an honorable exit enough.

The memories Liverpool will have of klop will definitely be more of good memories because he has got the records to show for how much  he's achieved with the team, even until his departure, he's currently still aiming at winning both the Europa and the premier league to seal up his good record for all the time he did spent at Liverpool, he will be missed by the players, fans and even the management team, he was able to always make do with that which was given at every time to use to manage the team both to get players and to run other affairs of the team.

As long as Brest doesn't make more mistakes and concede ridiculous goals in the next few matches, of course Brest can be in third place in the standings quite comfortably even though the three teams you mentioned can continue to put pressure on Brest. Because Brest only needs to maintain its consistency to continue winning and also be able to continue to perform well in every match so that its position cannot be disturbed by Monaco, Lille and Reims.
Amongst the Three teams mentioned, Monaco looks like the most of threat to Brest Reims looks like the least, with a single win probably in their next game, Lile may be able to displace Monaco and become the major threat to Brest because this two teams are just two points apart and are of almost equal strength.

Brest so far have been able to really perform so we'll this season they are most likely securing a spot at the Champions league next season if they are able to finish at the position where they are currently. Next week's fixture for Brest is really going to be challenging and they really need to win or draw that game to still maintain stability bat their current position but Nice isn't a team that will make things easy for them,  they will have to make sure to have a solid defiance able to stop Nice defenders from netting goals to be ahead of them as that's the only way to staying safe enough to protect their position on the table although both team are looking forward to maintain their position too.

I don't think this is judging whether they are consistent or not because so far Aston Villa have succeeded in being in the top 4 at the top of the standings, which is quite a good achievement, and of course, when they lost the match yesterday, it was because the opponent they faced was Newcastle. As you can see, Aston Villa is not just silent against Newcastle; they have tried several ways because it seems that Aston Villa's ball control and accuracy are higher than those of Newcastle. Unfortunately, at that time, luck was not on Aston Villa's side.
Aston villa's consistency at the top four this season is worth commending because I observed that ever since they were able to climb to the top four they have been able to make sure they don't go below the fourth position on the table which means they can make nit to the UCL next season with some more consistency in that which they already have.

I actually expected Aston villa to have won that game yesterday but I didn't expect it to be an easy one for them because I'm very much aware of the fact that Newcastle isn't a weak opponent I their own capacity as they have so far this season been in a very good form too but then Aston villa appears as the favourite and had the home advantage aswell so I was hoping to see a win for Aston villa or a draw but it was sad they lost shamefully at home with a wide goal margin, they had a good performance tho but it wasn't good enough to get the odds in their favour but then they are still at the top four position.

From what has been seen this season, it is true that Arsenal is more solid than last season in terms of strength, but I also agree with what you say that Arsenal must be able to handle conceding ridiculous goals in every important match. And in the Champions League, all rounds must always be considered important by any team if they still have the desire to get the Champions League trophy this season so that the match is quite likely to be very competitive.
I agree with you that Arsenal do look solid this season but then they still don't possess the potential for the champions league if they are able to get pass the round of sixteen I personally will still doubt their ability to get to the quarter finals but then if they do it will be pretty much a good achievement in their side.

The pressure coming from Manchester city and Real Madrid is such that I don't see Arsenal been able to manage through the tournament that's if they get pass the quarter finals unto the semi finals and happen to meet either of Manchester city of Real Madrid. I know that the last time Manchester city met Arsenal in the premier league it was a tough one but they we had KDB absent but this time I'm sure the full squad will be on ground as guardiola will not be willing to risk anything at that stage of the league so he will most definitely go all in with the full squad having haland, doku and KDB.

Barcelona must win today's home match against Osasuna after a humiliating defeat against Villarreal. But Barcelona's performance today still fails to satisfy me.
Barcelona is a goal ahead but I'm still having doubts about the possibilities of Barcelona winning, I still feel it's very possible this game may end in a draw if Barcelona fails to get another goal before the end of the second half because osasuna is looking for every opportunity to a goal from this game .

Barcelona according to statics is in more possession and have more goal attempts than osasuna does, but in the first half Barcelona did performed like an average team and were struggling to get a goal against osasuna of which they ended the first half of the game without a single goal. I'm hoping Barcelona gets a second goal or probably ends this game with the current score line else they may not be able to win the game today it's most likely they will share point ls with osasuna if they are unable to get a second goal or maintain the current score line.

As long as they can win and get full points, it will always be profitable for the team because what a team like AS Roma is aiming for is victory in order to put itself in a better position. However, after the match is over, each coach must make a more in-depth evaluation in order to be able to play well in the next match because luck cannot always come to the same team in different matches. So playing well and winning will always be a priority for any team because it is much better than winning by playing badly.
The important thing for every game is the results especially when it means winning against your opponent, it doesn't really matter how well you did performed in the match what will give you the needed points and make you win any trophy is basically winning at the end of every match and I think Roma is good provided they are winning because that's what matters.

Playing badly only makes you luck dependent most times so I'm oder to be sure and have a better insight in to your expectations at the end of the game, then it's very important to play well but the most important is winning because at the end of the day the trophy will be given to the team that wom and not the team that played best. I don't support bad and poor performance but I don't see anything wrong with winning even with your poor performance because what matters the most is the results of the game .

The serious contenders for the league title are Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, these teams have proven themselves in all rounds. In the mid-season, Leverkussen remained unbeaten, they should be extremely careful because they will face more challenges in matches, perhaps we have Xabi Alonso in the picture, he's capable of hitting the primary goals for the team. A crucial moment for Bayer Leverkussen because they will strive their best to ensure they avoid injuries, ensuring they trigger stellar performance in matches.  Leverkussen will keep pushing for more elevated standards in the club.
Leverkusen still remains unbeaten across Europe in every of the leagues they are participating currently.theynare currently one of the favorite to win the league title this season, the competition in the bundesliga for the title this season currently seem to lay between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich current performance shows that they are very likely to get back to the top of the table and possibly win the bundesliga title again this season but then let's hope that Alonso isn't going to let this opportunity of becoming the champions this season get pass him but will make sure to utilize every good strategy and form to get the title this season, they have gone past the mid season already which means they have just few weeks to maintain their position at the top because that's the only advantage the can get over Munich as Munich is ahead of Leverkusen by goals so if the both end with same points Munich is definitely going to be the winners.

Nott'm Forest v Arsenal

Nott'm Forest — Turner; Montiel, Omobamidele, Murillo, Toffolo; Mangala, Danilo; Domínguez, Gibbs-White(C), Williams; Wood.

Arsenal — Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Zinchenko; Ødegaard(C), Rice, Smith Rowe; Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli.

Here is lineup between Nott'm Forest and Arsenal starting 11, can Arsenal continue with the massive goals or Nott'm Forest will put an end to it, let see if Arsenal can still maintain the third place in table, Nott'm Forest are really in good form now, can they do what they do to Manchester United, this match is going to be a tough one.
Nottingham playing at home doesn't look like enough advantage for them because since the kick off, Arsenal has dominated the whole game and Nottingham is yet to get a shot on target, although they are still at the first half and it's just past the 25th minutes, I'm hoping that at the end of the first half I should see a goal.

Arsenal with their performance so far should be able to win this game all things been equal. Except if there be a good reason probably due to uncertainties which they can't control, els by all circumstances Arsenal should win with little to no struggle but it's looking like Nottingham forest will be more on the defensive and Arsenal stays offensive. arsenal even before the kick off is the favourite I'm this game and it's so because it's believed arsenal is the stronger side even with their recent poor performance.

Bologna, Lazio or Fiorentina can easily displace Roma in the standings because Roma have one more game played... For now, there is one fourth place in the Champions League zone, for which there will be a fight among many clubs... I think that the first three places will remain for Inter, Juventus and Milan...
This looks somehow to me because I'm trying to understand if it's Lazio and fiorentina that has performed below average that will be able to replace Roma even if I know Roma hasn't done any better tho but Roma is more considerable then you will with fiorentina, Lazio is performing below their known performance last season but the are still at a fair position on the table.

If Rossi is consistent enough even if he's new but he's started on a very good not and if he's consistent not loosing any game further, even with a draw he can be sure to help the team stay at the fourth position and secure a champions league spot for next season. Lazio is the next with such chances but it still depends on their performance. Bologna hasn't be really bad and can possibly displace Roma but they will have to find a weakness for Roma upon which they will take advantage and see to displacing them to secure the fourth position and aswell a spot at the UCL.

Good day guys, how is the gambling industry helping you this period?

However I just want to say that in the game world gamblers are always there to bet and the important thing here is when a gambler can not risk he also can not win, true or false?
Many might still believe that a gamblers who's just gambling at the first day might end up winning w huge amount of money that he wasn't expecting but the truth is that as long as you stake on bet you have already risk your money, be it big or small.
It's very possible that a gambler gets what I'd known as beginners luck where on their very first trial they are able to win sometimes huge amounts and the other time probably a little amount but then there is every possibility of a win at first trial for beginners

Not risking is definitely not coming with a reward, you only get a reward if you have risk as your reward is proportional to your risk the bigger your risk the bigger your reward and same applies with your loss too if you risk small you get small and when you loosing you loose small too but it's very important to be cautious of how much you are risking at a time so you don't run into problems trying to win big because not everyone is usually Lucky enough to get the beginners luck at first trial.

I think both teams have the same strength. and the chances of both of them winning are probably the same. or even a draw, that's what Brest got when facing PSG. Nice is not a weak team, but their game is more defensive. that's Nice's strength. they are the team that has conceded the fewest goals. and if Brest can dismantle Nice's defense, victory is certain for Brest. but on the other hand, if Brest is not alert to a surprise attack from Nice, it could be bad for Brest.
Brest performance against PSG is a clear indication that they are improving their performance and are not like they used to be at the beginning of the season, they didn't play against PSG like a weak or average team, they were more like a team that should be seen above average and are at an almost equal strength as PSG.

I loved the fact that Brest didn't show any form of timidity against PSG and so PSG will begin to understand that despite their known dominance in the Ligue 1 they are still challengeable even by a considerable average team and they could possibly lose to such a team, Brest against Nice is a match to anticipate only but contending strength as both teams have a considerable strength to contende each other, a draw won't come to me as a surprise neither a win from Brest, but I expect to see both teams having a goal.

I hope Leverkusen can maintain its performance. Yesterday's draw was indeed unsatisfactory. but they still didn't lose any points, so they were still pretty safe.
I hope the battle between the two will continue until the end of the season. Munich probably won't let it happen because they will try hard to knock off Leverkusen who are looking very impressive.
In a few weeks, they will compete. and it will be an interesting match when rivals meet to fight for the top of the standings.
They were safe not loosing points but then they needed to be a bit above were they are now because that isn't a safe zone at all, any slightest opportunity Munich gets now they will be ahead of Leverkusen, settling for a draw was a weak Result which gave only but little to their race to winning the league this season.

Leverkusen will sure try to be at their best now knowing that they are now very close to been overtaken by Munich and all it takes is just winning a single match and Munich will be ahead of them, it's looking like Munich is already fighting so hard to redeem it's days of dominance in the bundesliga again because currently it takes them to win a match and Leverkusen to either loose or draw a match and they will be up there at the top of the table again ant trying to maintain their dominance this time.

There's only one game in Serie A tonight. Salernitana will play Roma at home. Salernitana are bottom of the league. They've conceded 42 goals in 21 league games. Daniele De Rossi started his first game in charge of Roma with a win against Hellas Verona. They are close to getting 3 points in this match tonight. If they get 3 points tonight they will suddenly be in 5th place with 35 points. 4th place Atalanta have 36 points. I think Roma can get not only 3 points tonight but also a great motivation. Roma are worth a bet tonight.
I'm very optimistic about Roma's performance tonight against the bottom team salernitana, Rossi is still in his test days where he wants to prove to the fans and entire management of Roma that he's just the right person for the job, so far since his arrival he's got about two wins to his name already which makes his probation very interesting.

Tonight I personally see it as an opportunity to getting three points for Roma because they have a better form than salernitana even in the era of josé Mourinho they would win salernitana because the have a better form and to think that a team that weak will be visiting them in their home, it will be really embarrassing not to win and Rossi knows too well so he will be expected to deploy his very best to secure three points and keep the team going up the table and further building trust and confidence in his ability.

Maybe you had this feeling because you saw many superstars like Neymar and Messi in PSG during the last season but that's never enough to have many expensive and superstar players in your team to get good results especially when we are talking about a tournament like the Champions League and other teams got even better player but also a more balanced team.
A balanced team is very much needed and important than having a team filled with so called star players and there's no balance or even chemistry amongst the player such that on the field of play they have no good rhythm in their style of play because they are all stars and would want to shine in their various ways.

PSG would have been more focused on getting the team in a better shape than parking stars to the UCL, I know that will in a way frightened other teams but after they have seen how you performed even with the squad of good players, they are definitely going to understand that you do not have the strength to really cause the kind of damage they did think you were capable of so they will just end up challenging you because they are aware that the team has only got big names, a good build up will get PSG better prepared for subsequent season, they need a coach who has got the kind of Xabi Alonso's mindset

If you follow Klopp a bit and you also understand his attitude and his take on the football business, I am sure that he just didn't want to risk to get lost in the business and lose out on living life to its fullest. He often talked about his wife and how much she supported him and never really spent time with him. But he bought a huge new mansion in Spain and is building another new house and he said he wants to enjoy these things and have a normal life at least for a while. I have to say that this sounds absolutely comprehensible and it is the right thing to do. There is no reason to die on the coaching bench when you have worked for so long and have been a public figure. It makes sense to enjoy the stuff he can afford and not wait until he is 75 years old.
It's such a good idea he puts family at such esteem because actually at the end of the day, they are all that you av got but when you neglect them and spend all your days and time in the business of football or other works of life, you may not get that balance as to enjoying good bond with family and also maintaining a good and healthy work ethics just as it should be.

Klop seem like a family oriented person and I've seen that amongst some other players in the likes of Messi and Ronaldo these players also make sure to spend good time with family because they realize that after retirement the people you fall back to is family and they will only accept you the way they were been treated the whole game and wealth will just be there but you will find true calm and peace with family. In the case of Messi his wife actually influenced his moving to inter Miami few seasons back and that's the best way to go, balancing work and family not letting one suffer at the expenses of the other.
