Arsenal have the opportunity to win the league when they beat Manchester City in the next match. This season Arsenal have experienced a much better increase than the previous few seasons, but Arteta still has a heavy burden to bring Arsenal to win the league because the two challengers behind it are a team that is also in good performance. So Arteta also experiences a lot of greater pressure to finish the match.

Our concern Arsenal is not able to complete the season with a perfect level of consistency so they will lose the moment in getting points in the upcoming matches that are far more difficult. If Arteta is able to pass this test, their chances of becoming champions will be even greater because they are in a good form of performance.
There are always reasons why some people doubt Arsenal will lead the standings and win the Premier League title at the end of the season, one of which is Arsenal do not yet have a good winning mentality in their squad. So far Arteta is still struggling to provide high experience to each of his players and at the same time the players will also learn to have a good mentality when under pressure.

We almost found that Arsenal failed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they were forced to draw by Porto for 120 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, but they were lucky to maximize their opportunity through a penalty shootout. Arteta and his squad are currently in good form, but they are still not the main favorites to win the Premier League title this season despite leading the standings. The match against Manchester City is a tough match, in fact I don't think Arsenal can win it without a high risk of losing.

~~~
Arsenal's focus must be able to beat Manchester City if you want to get a chance to become a champion. Manchester City is also in good performance so that Arsenal will be much more difficult to beat them. If the game lasts more competitive, Arsenal must be able to draw so that Liverpool do not top the standings with a difference of three points in front of them.
If Arsenal wins against Manchester City, then Liverpool probably won't allow themselves to have a points gap with Arsenal. This means that Liverpool will also win the next match so that their points with Arsenal remain the same. But I don't imagine Arsenal can beat Manchester City, in fact Arsenal will most likely suffer defeat at the Etihad Stadium later.

I don't have a problem with using text colors in posts, but if it becomes a routine habit for most users then it will clearly be very annoying (especially if they use red, blue or other striking colors). In some of my posts, I also use color (but not often), especially in titles and sub-headings. This only emphasizes the point of the discussion, but I try to remain neutral in this case.

Yesterday's defeat was not Jurgen Klopp's fault because Klopp had directed his players to play their best.
Not being able to win against them in the FA Cup, doesn't mean Liverpool can't take back the best position in the Premier League. The European League is still a big opportunity for Liverpool to achieve.

There is still a chance to beat Manchester United which will be scheduled for April 7.
Two matches before facing Manchester United, Liverpool has the opportunity to return to the top because Arsenal will challenge Manchester City and in that week Liverpool will be back on top.
The Premier League and FA Cup are two different competitions, so I think the match atmosphere will be different too. Jurgen Klopp just has to try to accept the fact that they lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup, but Klopp will try to make up for it in the Premier League.

Ten Hag was happy with the results in the FA Cup, but Manchester United's journey in the Premier League will certainly still be difficult. Ten Hag must fight to perform optimally until the end of the season when his team is required to qualify for Europe. Tottenham and Aston Villa are two better teams in the Premier League than Manchester United, so things are still difficult to hope for as long as Tottenham and Aston Villa do not drop points in the remainder of the season.

If in the contract clause, dismissal enters one of the sanctions for anyone who violates the provisions, as a leader I will dismiss that the vision of the company's top priority.

Long before the incident, Brifing as a weekly routine needs to be cultivated as a reminder so that the prohibitions that have become a requirement are obeyed in addition to aiming to evaluate performance and evaluate other important matters relating to the vision.
I think this is not merely for the progress of the company and the safety of the company, but for the safety and welfare of employees. When the dirt is already coded, everything can change slowly without realizing it.
As long as the employee is only gambling with his own money and not gambling at work, then I don't think a boss needs to fire him. Professionalism as a leader is when they are able to resolve a case experienced by their employee well without prioritizing their own ego as to whether they deserve to be sanctioned or fired.

Right now many of my colleagues gamble during working hours, which is clearly bad for them and also for their work. Things like this should be avoided because they are doing something that is not good for other people to see, especially if the work is a service to the community.

Hopefully this can happen so that Real Madrid can get a little smoother in getting to the Champions League final this season, but Real Madrid must also be aware that Manchester City is still quite strong this season. So Real Madrid must be able to use all their abilities in the quarter-final match in order to get rid of the defending champions, because on the one hand Manchester City also know that Real Madrid will probably respond to them in the quarter-final match in order to advance to the final.
I don't expect Real Madrid to return to the final and win the title, that would make their fans more arrogant and disrespectful to other teams. Manchester City must beat Real Madrid regardless of whether they can qualify for the final and defend their title, that is something that must be done so that the Champions League becomes very competitive between each team.

Real Madrid is of course known for its great history as the king of the Champions League title. It has made the average fan arrogant and booing other teams' fans all the time, so something has to change and any team including Manchester City should be able to stop them again this season.

The match became more competitive in extra time. And finally Manchester United won the match 4-3. United's players performed brilliantly in extra time.

Elliott's goal in the 105th minute gave Liverpool a 3-2 lead. But just 7 minutes later, Rashford's goal equalized the match. I thought the match would probably end in a penalty shootout. But Manchester United were very lucky. AmadtDiallo's goal at the very last moment won Manchester United 4-3. After a long time we have seen such a great performance from Manchester United players.
I already suspect that Manchester United can qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals today. They played impressively in the first half, then dropped a bit when Liverpool came back with two goals before the end of the first half. Manchester United recovered again at the end of the second half when Antony scored a goal and forced the match into extra time.

To be honest I've rarely seen Manchester United perform as impressively as today all season, but they really gave it their all today to get through to the semi-finals. Liverpool, who were exhausted, finally gave up with a score of 4-3, but unfortunately Amat Diallo had to get his second yellow card for taking off his shirt during the celebration. It was a mistake because it would have kept him from playing in the semifinals, but I understand why he did it.

You have actually brought up an important point, we have been saying so far that there is nothing wrong with gambling if you can afford the funds for gambling. But our time sense should also be kept in mind and I think those who have no time sense while gambling are one kind off addicted person to gambling. And addiction never brings anything good. It used to be like this before when online gambling was new to you, I wasted a lot of time on gambling and it affected my studies and work.
I think that just as we set aside some percentage of our income for gambling, we should set aside some time in our 24-hour routine for entertainment and complete the gambling within that time and if we exceed this fixed time, it should be considered for that day. should be closed for. If not, it will indirectly cause us financial loss as well as physical damage For example, you may suffer from insomnia, and stroke to reduce it.
In general, gambling is for money, that is the mindset that most gamblers have. Meanwhile, if you think like that, then it is clear that addiction is very difficult to avoid and the bad effects of gambling are very difficult to cure. Gambling should be for fun and it will make the gambler play within reasonable limits and will not damage the many things he has to have.

It is always said, be a responsible gambler, it is advice that basically every gambler should consider if they do not want to get into a lot of trouble from gambling. It is difficult to be a responsible gambler as long as money is the goal of the game, but understanding reasonable limits in gambling is mandatory.

Girona continues to lose points.We can say that Girona, who lost 1-0 away from Getafe, is now slowly getting out of the race.Girona, who had a really great start to the league as well as a good start, could not recover after the loss to Real Madrid.Girona, who lost 7-0 in total in 2 games to Real Madrid, could still have a chance of the championship, but despite losing to Real Madrid 5 weeks ago, if he had won all the matches he played after that, there would have been a 1 point difference.Girona did not play badly in this encounter, but could not win the match this away.
Girona don't have the mentality to compete for the title, that's something that has been predicted about them so far. In reality, Girona really lost their best form and dropped a lot of points, but they still have a points gap over Barcelona which keeps them in second place so far.

To be honest, I am not surprised by Girona's current decline in performance, it is normal. All mid-table teams are currently only focused on getting points without any burden, this makes them comfortable playing the game regardless of the opponent they face. In essence, Barcelona now has the opportunity to move into second place, especially if they manage to win the away match against Atletico Madrid today.

Fulham always play full of surprises, that's why I don't bet on this match because I'm not sure about Tottenham's current strength, let alone being able to beat Fullham at their home ground. So far in several matches at home they have often won, including when they beat Arsenal too, I didn't expect it. that Fullham will play that crazy, beating Tottenham with a landslide score of three goals without reply, I'm sure there are many people who lost their bets in this match because maybe some gamblers favored Tottenham over Fullham.

Tottenham should have realized that their back line was very weak and provided gaps for Fullham players to score goals against them, three goals is not a small number of goals and this should be Tottenham's evaluation to improve their back line which was easily penetrated by their opponents, it should have been a defeat This doesn't happen especially since Tottenham was once a strong team at the top of the standings at the start of the season but unfortunately they always play badly towards the end of the season and always disappoint all their supporters. Tottenham must be able to learn a lot from the crushing defeat they experienced yesterday so they can play better. Again, in the next match, if they continue to lose points, Manchester City will displace Tottenham from their current position.
I can't deny that you are right about Tottenham, their defense failed to prevent Fulham from scoring which ultimately cost Tottenham. Fulham played very well throughout the match and were able to reduce Tottenham's efforts to catch up, the 3-0 score was a good reward for Fulham's victory. Of course there are many gamblers who lost in this match because basically most of them think that Tottenham has a good chance of winning compared to Fulham.

By the way, Aston Villa also dropped full points today when they visited West Ham. So Tottenham may still have a chance to win the Champions League zone next season if they are able to improve their consistency in the remainder of the season. Aston Villa will likely not be able to maintain its performance without losing points until the end of the season, so Tottenham can take advantage of this.

DdmrDdmr your link to your reply gave me an better understanding for question. Thanks.

I have kinda like a follow up question to it, is there a record of decayed sMerits in the system. I am prompted to ask from your replies and also from this text when a user wants to send merit, there is this text - There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.
Hoarding sMerit will not be profitable at all, but the warning has a double role if one day there is very little sMerit in circulation then the admin could cause the sMerit to rot if it is not used within a certain period of time. Even if this hasn't happened yet, then again there's no point in hoarding sMerits unless you really want to contribute to the community.

Often my sMerit becomes 0 for the reasons above, it makes me try as hard as possible and have to wait for the generosity of other users to send me merit until sMerit is refilled because I am not a merit source. So if you have plans to contribute to the community, then you shouldn't need to hoard sMerits.

If I buy BTC now, it will not allow me to hodl it to my satisfaction, I will wait for the bull season to over from the market before I will buy to be sure that I will going to achieve a good profits that will change my story for other hodlers to begin to follow my strategy I use to make profits from the market.

I will advise you to wait for the price of BTC to drop down before you can rush to the market to buy and hodl, but if you are convenient with the high price in the market to buy BTC, it will take you a long years before you can make a little profits from your hodling.
You are not completely wrong, but it is always possible to take advantage of price volatility if you want to make a profit. You have to be able to analyze price movements enough if you want to trade, it has to be done on a shorter time frame no matter what percentage of profit you will get. The lower the profit percentage you expect, the more likely you are to make a profit, it's just that some traders get greedy and miss out on profit opportunities, making them wait longer.

As a result, traders are people who may always have difficulty determining when to buy and when to sell. Investors tend to have an easier time and are more likely to buy and accumulate at any price because their expected profit target is in the long term rather than in the short term like traders.

It is very wrong for someone to think or have a mindset that bitcoin can make one to become rich. Bitcoin don't make people to be rich because it doesn't give free money just like that. You can only earn from Bitcoin as investment just like 2very other investment.  I don't know why people always see bitcoin as what can give them lots of money that can make one to be rich just by investing.  You can only get rich by having something that generate steady flow of income.
The get-rich-quick mindset by investing in bitcoin is actually not completely wrong if you compare bitcoin with investing in gold. You can calculate the ROI of bitcoin in the last year with the ROI of gold, but of course bitcoin will not provide wealth overnight.

Imagine how much profit you will get from a $50k gold investment in early January 2023 compared to a $50k bitcoin investment, clearly bitcoin is more superior and has provided a lot of returns in just a year compared to gold. The time frame used is not overnight, a few days or a week, but of course longer, such as several months to years.

Based the drawing way have chance for Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool on the final if can beat their opponent team in semifinal round, seem in the quarter final between Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen not faced difficult opponent team and have chance for qualifying to semifinal stage. Atalanta is not strong opponent team for Liverpool in the quarter final but bit difficult the winner between AC Milan vs AS Roma will be the difficult opponent in semifinal round.

Seems easily with Bayern Leverkusen the scheme of quarter final drawing, after facing West Ham United and not difficult to win then waiting the team match between Benfica or Marseille in the semifinal round. I sure the ideal final in Europe League season 2023/24 between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool.
There is the possibility of a great final this season that brings together the two favorite teams, but considering the difficulty of Leverkusen beating Qarabag in the second leg yesterday, it makes me doubt they can get to the final this season. Leverkusen was lucky to score 2 goals in injury time when Qarabag lost 1 player due to a red card, but it was something great for them.

I didn't expect Milan to meet a team from the same league in the quarter-finals. It's not that impressive because it wasn't a great match by nature, but maybe the atmosphere would have been different. Here Roma is not the favorite to qualify for the semifinals because Milan is the favorite.

How you narrate gambling will be a healthy lifestyle, isn't there no gambling that can give winning consecutive wins and we will even get losses beyond the victory we get. Gambling must be seen as a place to have fun so that people will not get problems when suffering a loss. In fact, people must see gambling as other activities as a step to have fun and not think of making money permanently. If gambling is seen like this then people will not have problems with finance so that it does not cause problems in everyday life.

Responsible for gambling that we do so that people do not make gambling as a wrong event. No problem people want to be involved in gambling as long as they can be responsible for the budget spent. Because life that has problems with finance will cause problems so that we will be owing everywhere, that is why gambling must be played responsibly.
I also don't understand why Blitzboy says gambling with the right mindset can be a healthy lifestyle, but I get the impression that if gamblers have the right mindset towards gambling then they most likely won't have any major problems. Being a responsible gambler is a must for every gambler, but not all gamblers are responsible gamblers.

You may have noticed that some unsuccessful gamblers have lost everything and they got into big trouble. Going bankrupt, falling into poverty, changes in behavior to depression, these are the impacts of irresponsible gambling. So being a responsible gambler is a must because with it gamblers can avoid many problems.

This bill was introduced in my country so I’m pretty sure that it’s content will be revised to a bare minimum since our government is corrupt while we get most of our taxes on gambling industry from huge scale casino like POGO which use various artist and influencer to promote their brand.

I doubt that this bill will successfully approved in the senate. Maybe this will be revised to target only influencers on social media that doing live stream but not to the level that it will be generalized for any gambling activity. I trust on how corrupt our government so this is an easy denied.  Cheesy
LOL, I noticed it and it's no longer a secret.
The government will try to take a middle path so as not to ban it completely, which in the end will get nothing from the industry. Maybe they'll think about what's mutually beneficial before passing a rule, but I don't know what country you're from.

Almost all countries have corrupt governments, not only yours but my country is the same. They often camouflage themselves with regulations, while behind the scenes they continue to get payments from the industry. It's ridiculous, but that's the truth.
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer betting your own predictions or from prediction site on: March 15, 2024, 03:21:43 PM
Obviously my own, why would I trust someone else? I understand that some people may not understand about every sport so they may need some help to bet on those games from the experts who follow that support, which doesn't really sound too bad.
Some gamblers will try anything to increase their chances of winning, including gambling with third party predictions. I guess this is a common thing in gambling where in certain cases gamblers utilize certain prediction services to try their luck at gambling, but this is not my habit. They will pay a service fee if they win, but no one will be responsible when the prediction is wrong and only the gambler is responsible for the loss.

Relying on third party predictions in betting may minimize risk, especially if the predictions are preceded by in-depth analysis. However, of course there is a high risk if the service does not actually carry out analysis to predict, but it is just a random prediction. I don't like relying on third parties to predict for me, meaning I tend to rely on my own predictions regardless of whether they will win or lose.

Such regulations may be largely disrespected among most gamblers, but may be appreciated in government efforts to prevent more people from becoming addicted to gambling. They legalize gambling, but don't want casinos and winnings to be promoted, looking at the positive side is good in my opinion.

There may be good reasons on the government's part for such rules, but gamblers find them unreasonable. Everything that is bad on the part of gamblers is not necessarily bad to implement, especially since the government only wants to prevent more problems rather than allowing them to grow rapidly which is uncontrolled.

I always think in gambling the chances of losing will always be greater than winning. I won't talk about the positive side because it wouldn't be right if someone risked all the money they had, even if that money was money to meet their living needs. However in gambling we always say to always use money you can afford to lose. Don't let us risk our own lives, always look at the risks, don't just look at the winning side, because if we always look at the winning side, then we will become gamblers who won't be able to control ourselves.

If we look at the number of wins we will get, then we will have more money than we had at that time, but that is something that is wrong in my opinion and should not be a gambler's point of view. I suggest looking at it from another point of view, just imagine we have to lose everything in just one round? regret will be useless at that time because no matter how sorry we are, we will never return the money we have lost. So think carefully, don't let yourself be controlled by expectations that are too high.
Hmm, yeah that makes sense. You have tried to explain it well and I quite understand what you mean.
The risk is always there and may even be higher than the chance of winning, but I am sure that every decision taken in the end has been well considered even though everyone says it is bad.

Some gamblers have desires that are difficult to control and they can even gamble beyond their budget. We would definitely say that is a bad thing, but for them it is an opportunity that they believe can bring them profits. They are the ones in charge, we are just commenting on it.

This season hasn't been that good for Barcelona compared to last season, and that is still a problem to the club performance. They were able to win Napoli does not mean that they will be able to win the champions league. Napoli has declined in performance, and they have become inconsistent so I was not surprised at that result, but I never expected Napoli to accept defeat that easily.

Barcelona might not be able to put in a good performance when they meet club that is stronger than them. I am not trying to underestimate them, but they don't have the quality this season to win UCL or Laliga. Let them prepare very well for next season, it might favor them, but not this season.
That's right, Barcelona's performance this season is very different compared to last season. Barcelona's defense is in trouble and they tend to lose stability in many games which makes it difficult for them to win them. This season Barcelona will most likely relinquish its hold on La Liga because Real Madrid have a high points gap, however anything is still possible mathematically.

Xavi has tried his best for his team so far although I admit many fans are disappointed with the results. Barcelona has failed in many competitions, but this season they managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League which is a success that deserves appreciation. Barcelona are not favorites in the Champions League, but I wonder how far they can go this season. The quarter-finals will certainly be very difficult because all the teams are the best, but there is always a chance.

There's no point regretting the past, it's just history which should be able to make you a better person in the future, especially in making decisions regarding money. Of course there are regrets, but the best thing now is to make things better.

People will say, prevention is better than cure; that's right. Mistakes in the past should be valuable lessons in the present, not only for you but for everyone too. Everyone has made mistakes and maybe regretted them, but if you learn from them you will definitely be better.
