I believe that the easy and "unlimited" money these high-performance players make ends up making their lives boring.
On the other hand, they need to do something different and exciting. I believe that Neymar, for example, is already addicted to gambling, and he is certainly not gambling to make more money, but because it has become a hobby.

It is difficult to understand this, many athletes would like to be in their place, and they should be an example for others, but easy money makes people do "stupid things".

But, going back to the championship... will Botafogo return to the top? For that, they only need to beat Fluminense and I believe that this can really happen, because analyzing the statistics here I noticed that Botafogo has not lost to Fluminense in more than two years.

And the worst part of all is that he probably only told this to a group of friends who spread it to several other people. And the worst part is that someone bet just under 40 reais. This really should have been well hidden.

I've been following the Paquetá news for some time now, and unfortunately it seems that something is really wrong

Have you seen the bids that are being analyzed?
You can see them here: https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2024/06/05/jogos-lucas-paqueta-investigado-levar-cartao-de-proposito.htm

It's strange, when I saw the moves it seemed like a forced play, unnatural for the game due to the circumstances

And the worst thing is that the player earns a lot of money, and could be made an example of and never play soccer again, and on top of that he has a great chance of being called up for the 2026 World Cup

Lucas Paquetá is stupid, very stupid... What may have happened is the following: Lucas Paquetá arranged with a close friend what he could do for his friend to earn some money... maybe he had been doing this for some time... and this friend of his simply leaked the information and it spread among people and they abused the scheme and got caught... It is only a matter of time before he is banned from football, everything he spent years accumulating will be spent on legal proceedings to try to reverse the sentence, the lawyers will take everything from him. A sad end for a young man who had everything to succeed in the football profession.

If are looking for certainty about things like this, I think it will be difficult because if it is about money then it is clear that the players get paid quite lot, if it is about satisfaction and lifestyle then that is also not the right reason considering the facilities provided by each team are more than Enough.
I think there are other things that cause players to make quite fatal mistakes, but it is not clear what the main reasons are that make players make mistakes that actually experience significant decline in performance.

Problems experienced by Brazilian players not only happen occasionally but have also happened several times before and this is very unfortunate because Brazil itself is actually country that has produced many great players, in fact they have many potential young players every year.
If learn from mistakes that have happened several times, it should give fear, but basically it is difficult to stop it and most players now act stupidly, risking their careers.

Those memes really do come true in those moments. It's impossible to know if they're really bad or if they're a betting scheme. Because it's impossible for players who get paid to play soccer to not be able to do the basics of their job.

Football players are paid very well for this, with millionaire salaries, which generates an interesting debate, has the quality of brazilian players fallen or is it falling with each passing day? Are they having too many perks and that’s why they’re so relaxed?

Is it all worth the money? Take this example, Lucas Paquetá, a West Ham player, is being investigated by the English Federation on suspicion of sports betting manipulation.

According to the investigation, it is estimated that around 60 people bet that the Brazilian midfielder would be warned by the referee in one or more of these games.

There are some things in Brazilian football that are truly inexplicable...

These players are professional athletes, they have at their disposal a structure of professionals: doctors, physiologists, psychologists, physical trainers, nutritionists, masseuses... they have a club with good equipment, a balanced diet... and they train almost every day .... and to take care of personal problems they have businessmen, maids, nannies and everything that any ordinary person would like to have... and EVEN THEN THEY MAKE RIDICULOUS MISTAKES. I will never understand

I said exactly that in my post hehehe:


It's a good thing you didn't place the bet
Certain games in the Brazilian championship are not worth watching, and this game was a clear example
Both teams are already favorites for relegation, and we're still only 7 rounds into the season.

I confess that I rarely get irritated by a football game when I'm watching it, I took a time to watch the highlights of Cuiaba's game against Vitória, I saw the video and thought: "it's not possible that had so many excellent chances to both teams scored a goal and the attackers of both teams seemed to be making mistakes on purpose ", so I went to watch more videos to see if there were more situations that could have resulted in goals, I didn't find them, maybe later there will be more highlights videos from that game, but from this video. that I saw:

I was irritated by what I was seeing, I watched this video several times to try to understand how these guys were players from the main league of Brazilian football, even some teams from the second division in Brazil have very good players, and these guys are playing worse than the guys from the second or even third division, perhaps they are even playing worse than the amateur football guys who play on weekends with friends.

I planned to wait for vitoria to announce the squad and then I would bet on them to win, but I made a mistake and when I went to see if they had already announced the squad, the game had already finished the 1 half, which is why I didn't bet, but if I had bet, I would have lost money. but as I bet for fun so I wouldn't have a problem losing, the odds were a big temptation, odds of @ 3.65 on a simple bet always sound good to me when I see that it's in a game with some chance of success. It seems to me that these two teams will be relegated, with this low talent level of the attacking players, they will be relegated

At times like these, I think it ends up being good for the team to be relegated to the B series to create shame and organize itself as a real team. Only then can they stop and think straight. It makes no sense for them to be in this situation financially speaking.

I saw in the news about the match that 6 Vitória players are injured, and 2 won't be able to play because they were red carded in the last match
Add that to the fact that Cuiaba will play at home, and that must be why the bookmakers are considering Cuiaba favorite

To give you my honest opinion, both teams are playing badly and it might be a 0x0 draw. They both need to improve a lot if they are not to be relegated early

But I don't have that good a guess for today. Good luck

Cuiaba Esporte Clube MT - EC Vitoria BA

This is a game involving the two worst teams in the league at the moment, both teams are coming from poor results in the last 5 games, reaching the point where both teams have not been able to win at least 1 game in the last 5 games, but when you compare which of the 2 teams are better, I see Vitoria being a little better in relation to Cuiaba, this is because Vitoria in the 6 games they have played so far have had at least 1 draw, while Cuiaba in the 5 games they have played at the moment have not even had one draw, they had 5 defeats, also looking at the goals scored and conceded by both teams I see that Vitoria is better than Cuiaba




Vitoria scored 5 goals and conceded 13 goals

Cuiaba scored 0 goals and conceded 11 goals

But strangely, I see that the bookmakers are placing Cuiaba as the favorite and with a considerable advantage, because it has odds of 2.20 while Vitória has odds of 3.65, maybe Vitoria has a good player injured. I'm going to wait for the squad to be announced, because I intend to bet on Vitória to win this game

It is an unprecedented inconvenience that the airport is closed and will influence practically everything in the state, since in addition to people, planes bring goods and several other things

Regarding relegation, Vasco da Gama will always be one of the candidates to fall to the second division, while Corinthians, I saw that they are having problems with their sponsor Master, if the contract is actually terminated this could cause serious financial problems and consequently risk of team having a terrible season... never-ending crisis...

I've seen some complaints from people at X about this reshuffling, because since it only returns in December, the planned flights will need to be relocated and it seems like it's quite far away. So, if it's like this for one person, it must be even worse for the whole team.

Today I saw some news that should affect the teams:
https://g1.globo.com/rs/rio-grande-do-sul/noticia/2024/06/03/aeroporto-internacional-salgado-filho-completa-um-mes-fechado-previsao-e-de-reabertura-no-natal-diz-governo.ghtml (the link to the news is in Portuguese BR)

Porto Alegre's main airport won't reopen until December because of the flood damage
This is likely to have a major impact on logistics, not only for the RS teams but also for other teams if they were to play some matches in Porto Alegre

Does anyone think that Vasco and Corinthians can be relegated?  

In my opinion, Vasco was saved both by the meme that when someone dies they go play for Vasco and by social media popularizing the team. Because few people supported it until a few years ago, before the streamer Casemiro, for example.

Whenever I meet Vasco Da Gama fans I tell them: Vasco is gone... Vasco is going to end, Vasco is a small team and is in extinction... because no one sees children wearing Vasco t-shirts anymore... .. Vasco will become the new America-RJ, minuscule lol

I love it 

Unfortunately, there are possibilities, but I don't think they will. They just need to get into the swing of things and we still have a lot of games to try to make this change in the minds of the whole team. So it's just a matter of time to adapt everything and come back.

As well as being disappointed with my team, I've also lost several bets believing in Corinthians, it's time to give up 

What intrigues me is the fact that the team is well placed in the Sudamericana, having managed to finish the group stage in first place, and in the Brazilian championship it has a miserable 5 points from 7 games played
There's not much explanation for that

About Vasco, it's incredible how much a great team that has won so many titles and has so many fans has declined
I've seen the team in an endless crisis for years now
A 6x1 defeat to main rivals Flamengo is a terrible thing for the team's atmosphere
