As a coach, Erik Ten Hag has done a great job so far and his performance as a coach is impressive. Compared to other similar coaches, he was able to make a big impact on the team very fast after he joined the team. While many people expected Manchester United to perform even worse after Ronaldo left, Erik Ten Hag performed better than fans expected.
Then many people believed that Ronaldo is the one that can make Manchester united perform better, that is why some people were worried when Ten Hag was not using Ronaldo frequently. But to be honest Ten Hag has really work well for Manchester United, I never expected he can be able to transform the team just in a season. Ten Hag is able to achieve a lot from his team in this short while as a coach of the team, I believe the team will do well in the Europa league.
Ronaldo turned into a roadblock for the development of the entire Manchester United team or even the whole club. The way he behaved wasn't the way Manchester United would like to be represented.
It is good how it is now. Manchester United is an awesome club again and Ronaldo can appreciate the sun in Saudi Arabia. Let him collect another record in that league.
Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting....
Biden returns to making policy to send weapons to Taiwan, I read this news yesterday, I don't know why Biden directly load a confrontation to China?, why did Biden ignite world war 3?.
So If you guy like war which make the bitcoin price down or rise to Biden's electability, it's not something good.

It makes zero sense to provoke China now, especially at a point when the Russo-Ukrainian war has polarized the globe. And this time, the US administration is solely to blame. There was no provocation from China. It was the US which started all this drama by sending Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan. China is in a situation similar to Russia. Gradually they are being surrounded by American bases in RoK, Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. And when they tried to establish a naval base in the Solomon Islands, the Americans went ballistic and sabotaged that plan by threatening the Solomon Islands regime.
I don't know whether Trump would have done any better. But his term (2017-2020) was devoid of American involvement to major global conflicts. Biden came to power in 2021 and all the drama started once again.
Just a short question: how does sending Nancy Pelosi to democratic Taiwan represent a provocation? Where do we democracies end up when dictatorships can tell us where to go and where not?
You know what the wonderful picture you posted shows? That the state you are talking about obviously has elections. Democratic elections. Let's see how many faces there will be on the pictures from China and Russia for a time span of 30 or 40 years. The US citizens can vote. Taiwan citizens can vote.
Do you really think that Pelosi should have stayed home so Xi Jinping doesn't get a headache?
Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds!
and if there are gamblers who consider gambling to get income or money multipliers, it is a sign that the gambler will lose more money and always odds small opportunities that look certain but are not certain.
Well said.
We should put our emotions aside when gambling, because emotions make us lose more in gambling than any other gesture. The guy fell under his emotions to place a bet on 1.01x odds thinking that he could go all in and make just 1% more to manage money for some luxury he could be wanting, which made him gamble his entire bankroll and in the end, he is left with nothing. Now no luxury nothing, but all he's got is his failure. This is not a lesson but a stupidity committed by that gambler which no one should do in their life if they want to be a sober gambler. Going all in on such small odds is very dangerous and can cost you your entire life savings.
Aren't you making assumptions about something OP doesn't provide even a tiny bit of information about? Where do you know what the emotional state of this guy was? Perhaps the guy is saying that then night was the best in his life? Nobody knows what he was feeling and who he is and nothing do we know.
Maybe he won the biggest lottery ever before and had a fun night out and appreciated the feeling that losing 1.4 million USD can't derail his life? That must be amazing to have such a feeling. I wouldn't do that too often though

I can imagine how a billionaire just wanted to show off being out with friends or so. They might have been talking trash and one guy just said hey let's have some fun, anyone believing that I am going to bet this amount on that outcome? Sure he never expected to lose it, but the thrill is still there for anyone seeing it and secretly hoping that this unlikely event turns into reality. It is not about the few thousand dollars I think. The guy who bet that amount just wanted to show he has the balls to do it. We don't know what the set up was like, whether they are filthy rich, had been drunk or on drugs and just pushed each other to this absurd bet. If it was a billionaire, I am sure he still slept well. 1.4 million dollars is a lot to Elon Musk, but he can keep his smile burning through 200 billion dollars because the share prices fell, I think he could even afford some fun with friends and lose 1.4 million with a chance of less than one in a hundred.
One wonders what drives such a person. Did they have too much money to spend or were they playing a game? Maybe they wanted to win big! It's logical that such a massive stake fascinates others.
Billionaires have human feelings and desires. Losing $1.4 million dollars affects Elon Musk. I hope the individual who placed the bet could do so without any negative consequences and sleep well, knowing they took a risk few others would. But who in their right mind would risk such an amount on an unlikely event?
With all due respect, but losing 1.4 million doesn't affect Elon Musk. I agree that maybe he wouldn't make such a gamble, like playing for fun, in the first place. But losing 1.4 million is definitely not going to affect him at this stage in his life. This guy is making so much fun of the whole world, gambling with Dogecoin, pumping it with tweets, naming his own dog after some crypto if I remember this correctly, etc. He is a gambler and a hard worker at the same time.
Just look at how Musk is making fun of everything, building flame throwers in order to fight the incoming zombie apocalypse. Or this "burnt hair" perfume. I know he is doing limited editions, but still he is investing resources in terms of money, human resources, production capacities etc.
Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting....
That is going to help Democrat party seal the future for them as well. We are going to see the whole nation who are against this new Republican party at the Democrat party, not like they were so awesome before, but right now the in fighting of that party made it even worse.
There is also the one where he fell from the bike as well. He is old, he is definitely very old, there is no doubt about that. However, at this point Republicans are a bit more in trouble than democrats about it, why? Because imagine a country that voted for a guy that was too old to do the job, instead of picking their candidate who was on a reelection campaign.Trump had 4 years of presidency, and yet he couldn't get reelected against a guy who can't even finish a sentence. This is why it's quite important to realize that Republicans are responsible for finding a candidate that could actually get the votes to win, otherwise they are going to lose again.
Just from a strategic point of view I think you hit the nail on the head. Trump is polarizing the people and polarizing often means that half of the crowd loves you and the other half hates you. That is essentially the goal of being a polarizing character. The advantage is that you have hardcore advocates guaranteed. When you are a handsome guy you might not be heard enough and just drown in the noise that others make.
In this case it is true what you say, the Republicans shouldn't want a candidate who polarizes. They would be better off with a candidate who is more handsome like Biden, but more energetic and enthusiastic. That could take votes away from the Democrats.
Something I am not sure about yet is if Biden is going to try it again. I think it is a tough call and this is not because I think he is a bad president, but age will come into play especially for him (and already is), and we are not talking about another year of presidency, but five years. I would even say it would be undeserving if he had to cancel his presidency in the middle of his term.
Hard to say, but despite his age I think he is doing a good job. He is shaky in his voice, and shaky with his body, sometimes shaky in his mind, but his political content and strategy isn't.
Salzburg is probably going to focus mostly on their defense and keep a clean sheet for as long as possible. They have a good squad with a balanced game between offense and defense, but they also that they won't be dominating Roma in a home game. Roma is in quite good shape right now and they have a decent home game statistic so far. Salzburg can wait for their chances while driving Roma to desperation. It's very tough to say who will qualify for the next round. My guess still is that Roma will turn it around.
I don't think Roma would turn it around, Salzburg are a very good team and they played a good first leg, Roma are an inconsistent team, they find it hard to win games in a row, before the first leg many fans thought that Roma were going to win easily, but their inconsistency affected them in the first leg and they lost. The only good thing for Roma is that they are going to play the second leg in their home, so their fans are going to be very loud and behind them, i feel the game will go to extra time and possibly penalties, and if it gets to that, any team can win; but i don't believe that Roma would turn the game around and win during the 90 mins.These days they are an inconsistent team? No, they are doing quite well and Salzburg didn't win with 3 or more goals, it is just 1 goal that Roma has to score in order to equalize as a first step. Salzburg will be given a hard time in Rome. This is a match between two equal teams and in the first leg Salzburg had its home advantage and now in the second leg it is Roma's turn.
In this forum and other forums where gambling is one of the topics of discussion, one of the recurrent topics is people who write about how their gambling addiction has ruined their lives. We usually encounter topics like "Gambling ruined my life," "I lost all my life savings to gambling," "I gambled away my entire salary," etc. Then they go on to tell a sad tale. It makes me wonder: why do gamblers tend to wait until they have suffered a catastrophic loss or a string of losses before quitting or seeking help?
Because they did not realize it earlier that gambling can lead them into something really bad or maybe because they are frustrated after so many tries but keep on losing then trying to recover it hardly that lead them into bigger lost. Imho, it is about our own mindset about how to deal with gambling and how to deal with all possible effects.
The illusion of control: Many gamblers believe they can control the outcome of their bets or games of chance, even when the odds are against them.
Chasing losses: When gamblers suffer a loss, they may feel a sense of urgency to keep gambling in order to recoup their losses.
Denial: Gamblers may not want to admit to themselves or others that they have a problem with gambling.
Financial pressure: Gamblers may continue to gamble even when they know they have a problem because they are under financial pressure.
Problem gambling is a complex issue that can be influenced by a variety of factors. It is important for individuals who struggle with gambling to seek help as soon as possible, in order to minimize the negative consequences of their behavior in my own opinion.
These are all important aspects and there comes one thing to my mind that reinforces all of those problems you mentioned: a second addiction like alcohol. This is very simple and proven, especially when you visit casinos in the United States and Vegas. Most of the people who lose big are drunk as hell and even if you play a private round of poker with friends, you can probably tell that the style someone plays differs with the level of alcohol someone consumes. But when you are in real trouble and you lost money you couldn't afford to lose and you are drunk, that is the worst combination for someone who can't control himself even in a sober state very well.
