Milan are 1-0 ahead against Sassuolo now. It is quite interesting to me comparing to what I expected.  Grin  Because after the surprising result they got against Salernitana I was refraining from betting on Milan for this game now. I mean that Salernitana are literally the worst team in the league right now. How could you?

Pulisic is likely to be the hero in this game now if the game ends by this 1-0 score. But it is a really risky score at the same time. Jovic has entered in Giroud's place so maybe he can score the relieving goal for Milan. He is in form recently by scoring good amount of goals.  Smiley

Until the match was over the score remained 1-0 for AC Milan's victory.
Judging from the match statistics, Milan was lucky enough to score 1 goal from 2 shots on goal.
And Sassuolo were indeed unlucky because none of their 6 shots on goal resulted in a goal.

The highest credit goes to Pulisic for saving Milan and maintaining the standings at number 3.
They should have won with a greater goal difference because Sassuolo also had bad matches before.

The challenge for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal in the standings, emphasizes Al Hilal's strong performance, especially in terms of a solid defense. The mention of Cristiano Ronaldo highlights the difficulty for Al Nassr to win the domestic league title, with a slim chance hinging on a crucial match against Al Hilal in the second half of the season. The overall sentiment suggests a tough competition and a critical opportunity for Al Nassr to secure points against a formidable opponent.

If you look at the point difference between the two, it is still very possible that Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal.
This only depends on Al Nassr's consistency for each match with a guaranteed win, and hope that at least Al Hilal has a few matches that end in a draw.
Because losing seems impossible for Al Hilal considering the very complete composition of its players.
If the point difference gets closer, I think it will be even more exciting to watch the Saudi Arabian League. Especially if Al Ittihad is also able to climb to the top 5 rankings.

It seems Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he is going to stay there.
SIcne we heard any news about Brazil trying to hire Carlo Ancelotti for their team and use this coach in the 2026 World Cup, but he extended his contract with Real Madrid to prove he prefers to continue his career in Real Madrid and he prefers to stay there.
Carlo Ancelotti's new contract will expire in 2026 and this coach wants to achieve even more titles with Real Madrid.



I think Ancelotti will continue to coach Brazil ahead of the 2026 World Cup. I can see this from the many Brazilian players he plays with at Real Madrid.
So if later he trains Brazil, even for a short time, it will be easier, because he only needs to use the standard players from Real Madrid and several other additional players.

However, the good news is that with his contract extended, Ancelotti is still considered one of Real Madrid's best coaches.
Even though yesterday he had a minimal squad due to injury, he was able to win almost every match he played.

Madrid once had Benzema and Ronaldo in the team. and now they want to add Mbappe to the team which I think is what they need. I don't know how the club is responding to these rumors. but if PSG are willing to sell Mbappe now, they will make a profit. rather than waiting for his contract to expire and that means Mbappe will be on a free transfer.
If Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think PSG must take a stance as soon as possible. The transfer market will open and negotiations must take place immediately.

Real Madrid used to sign the best players in the world for the highest transfer fees. Changing balances around the world are forcing them to make transfers with lower budgets. Either they try to sign free agents like Mbappe or they try to sign young and talented players. The Mbappe transfer has not been finalized yet. But I think Real Madrid's transfer policy in recent years gives us some clues. I think Mbappe will be playing for Real Madrid next season.
In recent transfer windows, Real Madrid have not made any big purchases, which is something they have always done, but now they are focusing on young talent. Perhaps they are preparing their finances for a big transfer and if that is the case, then Mbappe is on the radar.
Real Madrid's needs are now very clear, and that is in a frontline that is not working to its full potential and Mbape could be the answer to their current needs. Paris Saint Germain will always want Mbappe in the squad, but the player has wanted to leave, even from the end of last season. Maybe at the end of this season we'll see a new club for him.

The drama of the Mbappe transfer saga always appears when the transfer market opens. This is the umpteenth time this rumor has circulated.
Even though there are many other pure strikers with almost the same attributes as Mbappe and their prices are not too far apart.

Even so, Real Madrid really needs a pure striker number 9 to start.
Practically, currently they only have pure striker Joselu, even though his performance has not shown like last season, when he was one of the top scorers in La Liga.

Endrick is also rumored to be joining the Real Madrid squad in 2024, a young talent from Brazil.
But I don't think he will immediately become a starter. Surely Ancelotti will take the experienced striker slot.

Not all stories can be motivational, it depends on the person's point of view in understanding them.
Gambling addiction is not based on other people's stories, he will be addicted naturally.
Whether we talk about winning no matter how much it will not affect anything, because what the winner feels is not necessarily what he feels. Because it's all just a story.
He will continue gambling until the maximum point where he has to stop, whether he runs out of money or whatever the factor is.
226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: December 30, 2023, 02:18:00 AM
I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.


Addiction will not make them stop, because there are many reasons to keep playing. The more often they lose, the more addicted they become to winning.

Young people usually find it difficult to find their fun, therefore they decide to gamble because it is relatively fun.
Maybe they use their pocket money for deposits, because we know that there are gambling sites that have small minimum bets. So they can opt for that.

Changing games won't change anything, after all, they will only choose games that they think are easy to play.

So again Cristiano Ronaldo scoring by two penalties and becoming the top goal scorer of the year, from one side amazing to se him still in the high performance, but in the other hand i can see a ton of memes of him and the penalty love with him.

About the yesterday game was a really good one for Al Nassr, it was not a easy one and they do all to make it look easy.

Unfortunately, pure goals and penalties are both counted as valid goals and add to Cristiano Ronaldo's total goals.
Al Nassr created many opportunities and resulted in goals, which means they are now able to reduce the goal difference with the top of the standings.
Currently Al Hilal has 50 points from 18 matches, and Al Nassr has 43 points from 18 matches. Only 7 matches apart, this is still very possible to achieve.

Today Al Hilal will compete against Al Feiha ranked 11th in the standings. Of course, Al Hilal is favored to win in order to maintain the point difference until the end of the season.

Girona drew the match against Betis, due to which they dropped points. However, Girona and Real Madrid are level on points, and are at the top of the points table. However, Girona have not been in very good form since they performed poorly against Betis. According to that, we can say that they have not performed very well against Betis this season, so it is doubtful whether Girona will win the next match. Since Girona will be playing against Atlético Madrid, it is difficult to say how well Girona will perform in this match. If Girona loses this match then there is a possibility that they will be knocked out of the top spot, accordingly Girona will have to attack well with the opposition.
Yes, this Sunday is a difficult week for Girona to win the match, even though the match will be played at home. Even though Atletico Madrid has a 7 point difference with Girona, of course Atletico will provide resistance in the match later. Even though Atletico's performance in the local league sometimes has ups and downs, the reason is that they focus on other prestigious competitions. Of course, many people or fans of the two teams will be waiting for the match. Will Girona be hampered this Sunday?
I think all the teams that were defeated by Girona including Barcelona of course all had resistance, but in this case for some reason I actually see that Girona will be able to overcome Atletico Madrid, the strategy implemented by Miguel Angel Sanchez Munoz is really quite effective when facing big team  like Barcelona, ​​Villarreal and Valencia, with the combination of senior and young players in the Girona squad, Miguel are able to create beautiful games but are also effective in scoring goals, I think, we all know that maybe Girona will only have difficulties if Atletico continues to play as usual which relies on rough physical play ,and I think Miguel Angel Sanchez Munoz must be able to anticipate this if he wants his team to win and also protect his players from getting injured due the roughness from Atletico players later

I agree with you, Atletico Madrid always plays hard against any team. This would be quite difficult for Girona if one of their players were injured after playing against Atletico Madrid.
Because losing injured players will affect performance in the next matches. Moreover, now Girona is competing with Real Madrid, both collecting 45 points.

Winning by a narrow score is already very good for Girona, as long as none of their players are injured.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid certainly has the desire to move up, considering that Barcelona also has poor statistics in the last few matches.
Atletico will of course continue to shadow in 3rd or 4th position, and wait for Girona or Real Madrid to slip up.

@$crypto$ West Ham will be riding high on confidence after beating Manchester United hence I don’t think that we should underestimate them. Furthermore on the other hand Arsenal can’t afford to drop any points now hence I feel both will start slowly and then they’ll try to score that winning goal but if people feel that Arsenal will just turn up and win then I’m sure that they’ll be disappointed because this is going to be a difficult fixture for both the team’s.
I think should not be difficult for Arsenal to win, even though we know the opposing team is always unpredictable, but I think this is playing at home of course Arsenal will control the field and that is important for the host.

Although West Ham has confidence after beating Man United I think this is a little different from Arsenal they will not be able to (my prediction) but still I will admit from the beginning that Arsenal will win it.

If for example the draw let alone lose it is clear that many will be disappointed, but we will see later.
Playing at the Emirates stadium is an advantage for Arsenal who are trying to find victory to claim first place from Liverpool. Arsenal must play optimally because the opponents they face are also in their best form, West Ham is very difficult to beat this season, but the defeat that West Ham experienced at Fulham headquarters must be exploited by Arsenal to add three points.

Arsenal must be wary of West Ham's sharpness because in the last two matches they managed to break into the opponent's goal 5 times. It looks like Arsenal will have to work hard to beat West Ham, losing points in this match will make Arsenal lose first position.

Actually, Arsenal has the advantage because they have only played 18 times, while Liverpool have played 19 times.
If Arsenal can win against West Ham even with a narrow score, they will move up to 1st place with the same number of matches 19 times in all.
On the other hand, Liverpool must prepare to win the next matches and hope that Arsenal will achieve bad results to reduce the point difference.

However, looking at the statistics of the two teams between Arsenal and West Ham, I believe Arsenal is the favorite.
They are at their best. The players' mentality is also very good overall. Moreover, they will compete at home, which is certainly good capital to beat West Ham optimistically.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 25, 2023, 08:32:30 PM
For those persons who prefer gambling in local bet shops instead of gambling online. I know that most times some persons carry huge sums of money to come to gamble and I understand that if it was a local casino there would be securities. Now, in the local bet shop, why are there no securities? I know a local bet shop close to where I reside. There are no securities there and there are people who act strange and mentally unstable there. They could cause fights, noise, and cheat. So for other persons to feel safe betting there I think securities should be employed there.

Security should already be in place for every local casino. Because it is directly related to securing the place so that it remains comfortable and people enjoy coming.
For local hidden casinos, there are usually security officers, but they don't look that conspicuous. However, their duties are clear.

Because it is possible that there will be gamblers who become riotous due to the stress of running out of funds, this also needs to be dealt with so as not to disturb other gamblers who are playing.
But these security officers are usually not from the government, just a kind of third party security service provider. They can be more brutal and firm than government security.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 25, 2023, 07:55:57 PM
In fact, the determining factor for rich people to win more often is because they have larger capital and have good risk management.
It affects their mentality when gambling. Poor people will be passionate about continuing to win, they don't care about betting management.
Poor people gamble with the aim of making as much money as possible to meet their daily needs.
Rich people gamble for fun. This difference is what makes it seem easier for rich people to win.
How's exactly the risk management, play for fun and larger capital can lead to win more in gambling?

Money is only a number, someone can start to gamble as low as 1 Satoshi where it worth almost nothing. Play for fun is subjective, you can't judge someone whenever they play for fun or they play for money. Risk management only make you to not lose more money instead of making more money.
The difference lies in the total number of games they can play. Those who have large capital can always have the opportunity to play longer, this indirectly increases their percentage of winning.
Unlike those who have small capital, they will be limited in the total number of games they can play because of course each game has a minimum bet.

Yes, although it is possible that these big players also use high betting values or even go all in, there are definitely not many people who are crazy about going all in in 1 playing period.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In The Span Of six months what will make you trust a new casino on: December 25, 2023, 07:01:02 PM
If a new casino launches an announcement here in Bitcointalk what are the requirements or criteria that will make you trust them?
Within six months after they launched their announcement here 

Launching a review and signature campaign?

No complaints or scam accusations?

Very responsive representative here?

Good reviews from casino review sites?

Please vote and tell us why this is your choice all reasons are valid points but if you're going to pick one that will be the best answer what will it be?





The points you mentioned are consistent with each other to create my perception that the new casino platform is credible.
About positive reviews on websites, can you trust them 100%? of course not right.
Therefore, to determine whether it is good or not, we also have to look at other factors that are interconnected.

But if asked to choose one, the most important point for me is a fast response from a representative, not a template answer that we often encounter on gambling sites usually.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 25, 2023, 05:11:33 PM
Of course Leverkusen showed a good game and got out of the group without any problems. But apart from them there are other, more experienced clubs. Maybe it will be Roma or Feyenoord. After the qualifying matches there will be clubs from the Champions League. In addition, there are Liverpool or Villarreal. So the competition will only increase.
Increased competition in the Europa League after the arrival of teams from the Champions League must be used as a challenge for Leverkusen, they also need to open their eyes that European competition is more challenging than the domestic league. Leverkusen needs to maintain performance as in the previous match to maintain competition, his appearance is very decisive to what extent they can travel in the Europa League.

Liverpool is also a serious challenge for Leverkusen, Klopp's team performed well this season which made them one of the teams ready to bring home the Europa League trophy. Klopp will try to give the best so that Liverpool can bring home the trophy, but Xabi Alonso will fight hard to get his first trophy as a coach in European competition.

For Xabi Alonso, this is a big mental pressure to play in the Europa League, because we know Leverkusen's unbeatable record at domestic league level.
We can't predict when we talk about the European League, because the pressure will definitely be different. Especially if Xabi cannot raise the mentality of his players.
Liverpool are favored because Kloop and his team have played well in European league matches several times, but this is in stark contrast to their performance in the domestic league which is less than satisfactory.
But I personally really want to see the European League final between Liverpool and Leverkusen, this is a duel of modern coaching strategies. The game should be very interesting.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 25, 2023, 03:43:33 PM
The reality is like that, that Juventus this season still have a chance to get the Scudetto . But ya,even though Juventus have a chance to get the Scudetto this season, at least it's still not easy for Juventus to get it . Because ya,basically Juventus are still not strong enough to compete with Inter at the top of the Serie A standings this moment.

But maybe, at least about Inter who will still advance more seriously in the Champion League this season then ya, maybe in the future Inter will make a rotation that might have an impact on the results that are not maximized in the matches in Serie A. Thus,if Juventus can be more consistent to be unbeaten in every match ahead then ya, ofcourse Juventus still have a chance to be able to take the top position of the Serie A standings this season.
Have bigger chance for Juventus win scudetto in this season behind few points left from Inter Milan, just scandal and points deduction can stop Juventus keep closing with Scudetto winner because last season get 10 points cut off made Juventus have loss top fourth standings position. Quit well performance in this season loss 1 of 17 matches seems how potential for Juventus become the winner of Scudetto for this season, just hoping not any scandal yet happening and make Juventus get cut off points again like last season.
Four points remaining and have 21 matches left not close chance for Juventus winning Scudetto this season, but Allegri have consistent performance and facing top teams not losses points yet.
Next match of Juventus will be against Roma although Roma play well but they don't seem to be able to win the match against Juventus. So Juventus has a great chance to win the next match. Meanwhile, Inter's match will be with Genoa, so Inter has a lot of chances to win this match.  So there is no chance of Juventus and Inter's position to change in the next 2 matches.They will be in the 1st and 2nd position for a long time and one of these two teams can become the champion because  Napoli, Roma are still behind by many points so it is very unlikely that they will come to the top position in the points table
In their last two matches, AS Roma won, this could be a provision to face Juventus.
And of course, if Roma wins, they can move up to 5th place if Fiorentina loses against Torino. Securing 5th place will be an advantage for Roma itself.

On the other hand, Juventus is also trying to catch up with the point difference from leaders Inter Milan, only 4 points behind.
But statistically it is clear that Inter are the favorites when facing Genoa, where Genoa in the last few matches have been very bad without winning.
235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 25, 2023, 11:48:15 AM
Al-Wehda's victory means they are now in 8th position in the standings and succeeded in shifting Al-Ettifaq's position. I think Al-Wehda is indeed capable of doing it because their opponent is Al-Riyadh who are currently at the bottom of the relegation table. Al-Wehda did not hesitate to win with a score of 3-1 in this match and at the same time Al-Riyadh's hopes of getting out of the relegation zone had to be temporarily postponed.

Apart from that, Al-Wehda is now increasingly threatening Al-Ittihad's position and if Al-Wehda wins again in the next match then the points tally for both will be the same as 28 points. But that is if Al-Ittihad loses against Al-Nassr and I think we all know that Al-Ittihad is not promising this season and this possibility will be very profitable for Al-Wehda.

Ittihad FC's last 5 matches have been quite good, although there were 2 previous defeats. However, this time the opponent is quite strong, Al Nassr who is in 2nd place in the standings.
If Al Nassr can win, this will be a bit profitable because it can reduce the point difference with the top of the standings, namely Al Hilal. Which makes the opportunity to win the league even more exciting.
But I believe Al Nassr will not be able to win easily, because Ittihad FC should also want to win to enter the top 5 of the League.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 25, 2023, 11:10:21 AM
I'd like to clarify that this topic is distinguished from businesses or entrepreneurs involved in gambling as businesses, such as casino companies, etc., but with a focus on gamblers. I know there are many people who regard themselves as professionals at playing gambling games, but do you ever think that one can make gambling a full-time job and career because of his or her deep knowledge of the games? Can someone bet with little or no loss because it is one of the most unpredictable games to play?

Gambling to my understanding, is a trial-and-error game with uncertain outcomes, unpredictability, and luck. Therefore, professional gamblers must exhibit a deeper than usual understanding of the games, the statistical probabilities, and a high level of risk management skills.

However, it is critical to realize the risks involved, which include unstable financial circumstances and potential addiction problems. So, pursuing a gambling career should be approached with serious caution, and gamblers ought to be well-informed about the accompanying problems. Furthermore, I believe that having various sources of income and taking calculated risks will be highly beneficial.

But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
If so, why?
If not, please advise!

Having a gambling platform is clearly more profitable than spending a lot of money to become a gambling player.
Because if measured by the winning percentage, no more than 50% of people can beat a slot machine or something like that.
There are fewer than 10% of slot machine winners compared to the number of people playing at the same time.

Or working for a gambling company, it is more guaranteed in terms of salary and stability.
However, you can still work on your passion for gambling, if indeed gambling is one of your hobbies.

If we have more budget, of course I will make my own gambling game.

To be honest, I'm not sure you can control it, because it's quite difficult to leave once you're enjoying the game.  Grin
Playing poker is an option to play fairly because you are playing against other players, not the dealer.

The most important thing is how you control your capital so that it doesn't run out and can still enjoy the game for a long time.

What you need to know is that each person's gambling addiction cannot be predicted. There are many people who consider themselves addicted but they only play 2x a week.
There is also the opposite, playing gambling almost every day but not wanting to be considered a gambling addict.

So let them enjoy it, they addicts will have their own way of gambling.
Whether it's when you run out of money or don't have anything or even an internet connection to gamble online.

I have been wondering with a little doubt in me between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person prone to being addicted cause I have this friend of mine who doesn't know how to gamble online but when it comes to physical gambling he does it without compromising any of the consequences before hands.

Now it has made every little discussion that leads to argument an avenue to gamble, always ready to stake huge amount just to prove himself right. I consider this being addiction and I am always advising him to drop this lifestyle.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

Both can be addictive. Because basically people are addicted to gambling because they feel they have to win at the game.
The more money they lose, the crazier they become addicted to gambling. Because their goal is revenge to win, this is something that will never end.
Including using all means to find gambling capital. Their lives will clearly be chaotic, because all that is on their minds is gambling.

Try to invite him to do more positive activities, for example sports so that his thoughts can be separated. Because gambling addiction can persist for years.

The value of Bitcoin has gradually reached great heights. It has become impossible for a new small investor like me to invest in Bitcoin. I am a very small investor. $2k wealth is mine. Well does Bitcoin provide any opportunity in future that I can invest.

Right now Bitcoin looks expensive, but if you invested 10 years ago you probably wouldn't complain about the current price.
You don't have to buy 1 Bitcoin to try investing, try first with a small amount that you can afford. It's better than nothing.
There is no guarantee whether in the future Bitcoin can give you the investment value you expect, but in the crypto user community they don't always talk about its valuation value.
There are also those who actually apply the exchange rate in real life.
