Money game is a dirty game. But then again we cannot deny that there is so much money involved in IPL, one of the reasons IND is a big country and there are many states and lots of team and lots of foreigner player. ICC has also placed halt on many other activities since IPL is happening. Ofcourse it is a big industry. Lots and lots of money!
Right now, most of the talk is useless about dirty money or wrong things happening it's all industry and India is not alone having league we have a hundred of leagues across the globe and mostly working very fairly with their system.
Just like we have best leagues system in across Europe and in The USA they are having check and balance system even no one can give them clean chit about fairness but still doing good, so we can expect something from IPL as well if they are generating money with their own tactics it's not wrong because they are spending big money, and they are in complete control someone will catch then surely he is going to face punishment like we have in past for few franchises in IPL.
Even it's not subject, but we have some big gambling involvement in Italian Serie A as well with Juventus were guilty and faced some punishment.

Wherever there is the money of such an amount, there will be people trying to take their cut legally or illegally. And that is always going to have an effect on the league.
But, that doesn't mean the league is going to be stopped. That means those people need to be taken care of according to the law.

They are the only contenders for the Premier League trophy this season. Liverpool are currently just one point from catching up City. While, Manchester City drew their last game and lost some points. Yes, Liverpool are likely to overtake their rival, but that can probably be possible, if Manchester City continue to drop points. However, Manchester City has been at the top of the standings for quite a long time now, and will surely struggle in order not to drop.
Hopes for Liverpool are still wide open. They could have given a surprise when they went to the Emirates stadium. City's performance looks to be declining to date. It slightly proves that they are not good. Unlike Liverpol, they are on the rise after a winning streak. So both clubs have an equally great chance of winning in this match.
Most chances they will overtake Manchester City as they are going to Etihad Stadium in last ten matches most consisted team with having 28 points from 30 is amazing job and on other side now Manchester City is losing points which is going to be more interested. Now these two teams are going to face each other in two matches with one in EPL and second in The FA Cup, it's the most entertaining matches before end of this season which will also decide who is going to take all the way.
Liverpool already winner of EFL Cup and now odds are declining for their treble and quadrangle chances which mean people's feeling they can create history in this season with their most cups in pocket right now with their current form most chances they will surely take two or all three cups in England and very hard fight for fourth in Champions League.

The way Liverpool is playing currently I don't think it will be hard for them to achieve great things, I like their recent play strategy. And it is also just a matter of time before they overtake Manchester City in the points table. I predict Liverpool as the winner of the English Premier League this season.

i have a completely different opinion here. to play in dresden in front of a full stadium and to win is not that easy. dynamo dresden is a very good fighting team and on a good day is also able to make a favorite (like schalke is) despair.
I agree. Dresden is playing against relegation. Okay, they haven't won for a long time. But they have played 1:1 in the last two games against St. Pauli and Nürnberg. And now they play against Schalke. So I don't think it will be an easy game for Schalke.
Maybe it won't be easy for shalke to bring home 3 points, because they are playing at home, plus Dresden is struggling to get out of the relegation zone, but shalke are also struggling to get back into the Bundesliga, because last season they were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga league, even though they were relegated early, even though they still have 4 games left, maybe this season shalke will struggle to return to the Bundesliga, my prediction is that shalke will definitely be able to bring home 3 points.
Schalke will continue to fight hard to return to the Bundesliga. And if they want to go to the Bundesliga, they have to improve their performance. Pauli, who is at the top of the table, is still 4 points behind. Schalke has to fill this 4 point gap. It will not be easy. For this, they must get full points in the upcoming matches. The team that loses points in their upcoming matches will fall behind.

Schalke has been playing decently in my opinion.
But they have to do better if they want to go to Bundesliga again in my opinion.
At the moment it seems really hard for them to get promoted from the current position, to be honest.

Union Berlin - Koln match can be another tough match of the week. This is an important match for both of them in the fight for the sixth position now. Koln seem to be a little ahead of their opponent to me actually. But bookies are showing Union Berlin as the favourite in this one. There is no huge difference between them in the standings now. Koln are only two points ahead of them. And actually their first meet ended in a draw by 2-2 in Koln. But I still believe in Koln not to lose and even win this maybe.

yes, I think Union Berlin vs Koln match will be a nail bitter match.
I think union Berlin is going to find it really hard to win the match because they have a worse result in the last 5 matches than köln. They need to go for a win in this match.
In this match, I will go for Berlin cause sports book gave them favor with 2.4 odds.

Okay! Rashford isn't totally undesirable from the club at least! The youngster need to re find his structure, that's it. It's reported that Arsenal make an unexpected move for Man United striker Marcus Rashford. I wish this to happen when the new window opens. They need striker but it make no sense give away their top striker at the same time. Maybe Arteta has some plan. Rashford isn't a bad player. But, He is not good enough nor what Arsenal are searching for. Arsenal need a goal poacher striker. Might be possible he'll shine at Arsenal. So, he could be great for them.
Selling Rashford is weakening Man United. Even I don't agree. He's still young, he's good, only he's not in the right coach yet. I think all they have to do is buy a centre-back. They have too much trouble with the defensive line. Then they need Bruno Fernandes' companion. They look weak in possession in midfield.
They will have to make those improvements immediately if they want a better next season. So far I've only heard rumors that Rangnick is ready to quit at the end of the season.

I also agree. I don't see how selling Marcus Rashford is going to fix the problems of Manchester United. Manchester United have real problems in midfield and defense. They need to fix those problems first and obviously, they need to get a coach who knows what he is doing and who will be effective for Manchester United in the long run.

Liverpool are in smoking hot form right now. It is not matter of where it is going to be played but yeah that do effect but compared to the level of the teams I don't think it's gonna effect much. Both teams are high on confidence and I don't think that crowds cheering or their chants would take much effect.
Gotta agree on this but the match decider will be on the next round between City and Liverpool. Both teams are pretty even right now despite of their recent form, City had it easier because they were far ahead then the other teams few rounds ago but it is getting on their nerve now because Liverpool is already closing in on the gap

Honestly leaning towards Liverpool but it most likely could be a draw though

I wouldn't say Liverpool and Manchester City are even right now because I think Liverpool is one step ahead at the moment then Manchester City.

Liverpool has a better chance of winning the English Premier League this season. they have been playing really well recently. and if we look at the records of the last five matches I think we will find Liverpool having a better record than Manchester City.

Everyone was very happy when Mesut Özil was transferred to Fenerbahçe, but I don't think he gave the expected performance throughout the season Smiley
If he really did such a disrespectful act, it is very normal for him to be out of the squad. The peace in the team needs to be protected somehow, such players can harm the team
Özil was already finished before he left Arsenal. Fenerbahçe made a gamble signing him and it didn't go as expected. He's not physically enough for Turkish league. Next stop might be Arabian league for Özil, he can play two more seasons there before he retires. It looks like he finished playing football in his mind, he only cares about his brand. I don't know why would any team sign him other than commercial target.

Ozil should retire now. I  had watched his performance in several matches at Fenerbahce. His performance was not satisfactory. He is out of form or has lost interest in football. Ozil is now 33 years old. He could have served the team better for a few more years. But he could not adapt to the team at Fenerbahce. He should now look for a new league or should be retired.

I actually don't agree. in my opinion, Mesut Ozil Is still a great player and he can still offer a lot to the team. I don't think he is washed and even though the performance has not been as expected from him, I think he will do better in the future. I am still hopeful about this player.

Nobody expected Italy to go out, shout out to Macedonians for defending like crazy and using one of their few oportunities.

This brings me to my next bet. Italy and Turkey will play a friendly in a couple of days. Nobody wants to play this game but FIFA demands that loosers play the game as well. Both teams are low on moral but I am expecting Turkey to cope with failure better and maybe surprise Italy again. Both to score will be my bet for sure and I'll think about picking upset after some more news come in.

I think that there is not a single team in the world that deals with the loss worse than Turkey Grin
Italy is a far better team, the odds would have to be really attractive for me to even consider something like this. The game is being played in Italy, right? I doubt they will lose 2 in a row at home.

I am also baffled that they have to play this game at all. What's the point?

Actually, I don't know. football can be a funny game at times. we have seen a lot of surprises in football in the past and I am not sure about Italy winning their next match against Turkey. but I obviously doubt that Italy is going to lose this match because they will be determined to prove themselves.

I honestly think Azpilicueta still wants to be at Chelsea, he already see Stamford Bridge as his home and luring him out will be a huge task for Barcelona that is if Xavi really want him. The situation now I guess is if Chelsea offer him a two year contract, he will gladly stay at the club where he is captain and literally winning everything than going to a Barcelona side that is just building at moment.

Even though Barcelona is just building right now they are showing quite good performance and I think you also agree with me that Barcelona can be said as a stable team right now. But I think the player wants to be in Chelsea so it is not going to be an easy option for Barcelona to get him.

Have you seen the only Twenty20 international between New Zealand and the Netherlands at Napier? It was a non-event in Napier due to bad weather, which prevented the toss from even taking place. What a disappointment for teams and fans alike. Tour of the Netherlands in New Zealand. It has been decided that the T20I between New Zealand and the Netherlands will be abandoned. It may not be the best choice to play cricket in New Zealand at the end of March.

It is really sad news because it would have been great to see the Netherlands in action again. I haven't seen the Netherlands play in a long time, to be honest. and you know, they would have also gained a lot of important experience against a team like Newzealand.

It is difficult to guess the final result of who passes the next round. Relying on historical statistics is very bad to guess the final result. Comparing the players of these two teams is relatively the same, only Madrid has players with older ages. Madrid have superior experience and more UCL titles, While Chelsea with Tuchel were champions last year. I wouldn't guess they look just as strong, but I hope that Madrid will qualify for the next round.
Real Madrid player line up filled by older age but have a lot experience and mentality how keep confidence on every match, I don't think will easy games for Chelsea. Talking about age as Karim Benzema have been 34 years old still potential with top scorer for Real Madrid on champion league with 8 goals and success make hattrick when defeating PSG. I think age is not any have to worry because all Madrid player keep strong until 90 minutes, but just still depending with Karim Benzema and without him Real Madrid looks difficult to win.

Real Madrid players are obviously older and even though they gained experience,  they don't have the same skill that they possessed when they were young.  I know that Karim Benzema played really well against PSG but I wonder if he is going to be able to do it again in the next match, I don't think so.

according to sky italia, the transfer of midfielder Franck Kessié to fc barcelona in the summer is a done deal. the 25-year-old ivorian is said to have already passed the medical check and signed a four-year contract with the catalans.
Really sad Milan failed to keep the kessie. He really contributed to Milan this season. Barcelona managed to get Kessie with a salary offer of around 6.5 million euros per season. According to the media, although he has moved to Barcelona next season, he wants to give his best with Milan until the end of the season. Hopefully Pioli does not bench him because he has officially joined Barca.

This is going to be great for Barcelona because Franck Kessié is going to be a great addition to the team. And Barcelona is looking like they are a very organized team at the moment so it will be also really great for the player. He can be a great asset for the team in the upcoming season.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 22, 2022, 04:03:53 PM
AC, Inter, Napoli and maybe Juventus
I have initially tipped that Inter milan is the favourite to lift the championship and looking at the standing and overall season competition, Inter ought to be the title winners. But it's as if they are not interested. If you have to put the current team form into consideration, Inter is purely out of the contest. With the current team forms, Juventus has the highest chance of going the rest of the league undefeated than other teams. But if Milan manages themselves well, what they need is just consistency to be champions.

If Inter loses the next match against Juventus which is absolutely possible, I think today's not going to be the favorite to win this league title. I think Napoli has a better chance of winning. And if Juventus does end up winning the next match against inter I think they will also be among the favorites to win this league title.
1094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can we do to speed up Bitcoin mass adoption? on: March 21, 2022, 09:43:16 PM
Well I think we can do a lot to push Bitcoin mass adoption, to the world, but I would suggest we do it subtly, because let's be honest the newbies entering crypto-currency are losing the very basis of it.
I believe many of them  are not being tutored well, before they come, on board. So if we are to promote Bitcoin and crypto-currency let's all do it in a way that, that we can give newbies a chance to understand that crypto-currency isn't a get rich quick scheme.
The hardest part of bitcoin is to start knowing it in a wrong and negative way. Newbies often misinterpret what is bitcoin all about but more of a get-rich-quick scheme. This is the reason why so many newbies doom to lose in bitcoin  because they learn it the wrong way.

One way to increase adoption for bitcoin is to improve the knowledge and experience of bitcoin users. Just like fiat, bitcoin should provide limitless borders for users experience and this will be fully possible if the government will legalize and regulate it in the first place.

They don't learn the wrong way, actually, they are too lazy to learn about bitcoin.
Excessive greediness is another reason for their loss. When they see a double money-back guarantee. 3x, 4x, 5x money-back guarantee they fall into greed and invest to take easy profit, don't judge about the project and the people who behind of that and fall into their trap.

Yes, I'm fully agreed about the 2nd part, Don't rely on the Govt for every job, we need to promote bitcoin by our own way and make people aware of Bitcoin and blockchain systems.

Elon Musk won't sell his bitcoins, he tweeted this and we see no big movement in the market. There was a time when his tweets had big effects on the market. This guy is losing his value by promoting Dogecoin.

he sold bro, at first he sold when he thought he are in profit, but didn't announce at that time. After selling his Bitcoin he announced it and made a FUD over the crypto market.
I believe he bought again the dip. he is a truly generous person, at first he made us fool by promoting meme token then the made us fool by announcing his bitcoin banning decision on tesla.

With over 50 million millionaires across the globe and 21 million BTC , what happens when every millionaire out there gets 1 BTC ?
Half of the 50 is 25 and they can all get the 21million BTC.
There are also some millionaires who wouldn’t be interested in it and would rather prefer to be making their investment in other type of assets. But even all the millionaires like you have said decides that they want to invest in Bitcoin and maybe they want to buy 1 Bitcoin each – what you have to know is that there is no possibility for all of them to buy one Bitcoin each since the market is filled with so many other People and as each continues to buy the more that the value increases, and they might to even pay up to a million for a Bitcoin or even more as it continues to increase due to demand.

Yes, there was a time when many people were not interested in Bitcoin. But believe me, now you will not find out a single individual who is not interested in bitcoin.
yes, till now they keep taking against bitcoin, do you know why? cause they missed out to buy it at a low price.
Though many people are against bitcoin but, trust me, they also secretly keep track of the market price of Bitcoin and feel jealous.
1097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Saved Banking Stress. on: March 21, 2022, 09:24:09 PM
[snip]
-Over the years man has been struggling to make money in order to survive and sustain, after much hustle and bustle, man will still rush to the bank to save some money for future use.
Man will save a million in the bank but when you want to withdraw from your savings you can not withdraw up to a million that you saved why? because bank will charge you for card maintenance, sms and email alerts, etc.
-Apart from the charges you get on weekly basis, you will always be stressed whenever you want to deposit or withdraw money in the bank most times you will spend the whole day without achieving your purpose of going there but upon the arrival of Bitcoin, everything changed, the suffering of people reduced from 100% to 10% because they no longer have to go to the bank, people now trade with Bitcoin as it is the only means of financial freedom because you can monitor your funds without asking what happened for it reduction.
-People can easily make deposits to their Bitcoin wallet and withdrawal from the comfort of their homes with the help of p2p. People are not charged unnecessarily even when they do not perform any transaction. The risk of attacks and arm robbery when going to the bank has been stopped since the introduction of Bitcoin because Bitcoin has saved us from carrying bucks of cash for transactions.
-Cryptocurrency generally is a liberation to people, in terms of fast payment transaction to another country and i understand that is faster than fiat currency if sending to another country, and that is the reason why people like sending money across another country with bitcoin.

Everything is true, But still, we need banking system to manage our business. Bitcoin is not issued by the government so you can't use it internationally. With bitcoin, it is not possible to make a chargeback if you make a transaction once. So, though it is more trustworthy than the banking system but still it has some limitations to adjust our daily life.

In Pakistan case, it's same happening with Pakistan is already in some good position for qualifying into WTC final and staying at second spot behind Australia they need some more points for this spot which is only possible with these flat pitches with Australia is currently world's most attractive and best team in presence of quality batsmen and bowlers and Pakistani youths have no good experience to face them, so they are doing these dirty tactics for WTC points and staying alive against quality teams.
The second test between West Indies and England has ended as a draw too. It was meant to be happen. But I think, the third test match between Pakistan and Australia isn't going to end as a draw. Maybe there will be a winner of the last test match of this series, and it will determine the series winner. How long Pakistan will be able to stay at second position for making those flat pitch! They should have made an average pitch which would help both bowlers and batsmen. Pakistani players are having some good batting practice for those kind of pitch. They won't be able to play well in different pitch condition.

Test cricket is already at its all-time low in my opinion and if the culture of draws keeps going on I think it is only a matter of time before the test cricket loses everything that it had.
Anyway, I think the third test between Pakistan and Australia is shaping up quite nicely to have a result. It will be really nice to see Pakistan win this test match.

Tottenham has won an incredible 3-1 win over West Ham. It was their home match. Son has scored two goals and Kane has made 2 assists. Tottenham has won for the outstanding performances of these two players. With this win, Tottenham has moved up to fifth place in the table behind Manchester United.
I have long waited for this replacement on the fifth position manchester united were occupying. Tottenham despite how rough the early season was for them just keep pushing from the bottom to find a place in the first five teams for the season. Manchester should rather remain where they are so the can play in the Europa next season because having them in the champions league might be a complete waste of time and energy

Arsenal and Tottenham were very weak at the start of the season. But now they are strong enough. Tottenham's performance, however, still depends entirely on the two specific players. On the other hand, Manchester United's performance is completely irregular. They will not be able to be in the top four teams at the table. They should target Europa Legue.

Another match up and another surprise from Bangladesh but i would say the pitch was turning a lot and it was a difficult pitch to bat and Bangladesh was wrong in assessing the pitch as they won the toss and elected to bat. If they would have sent South Africa to bat after winning the toss, i think the situation would have been different. Toss was crucial in a pitch like this and Bangladesh ended up in the receiving end.
Batting first is a bad decision. Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal also expressed the same feeling, stating the wicket wasn't what they expected. In every department, Bangladesh fell short of expectations today against South Africa. As a result, South Africa won the second ODI by seven wickets and 76 balls left.

The main reason for Bangladesh's defeat in this match is the poor performance of the top order players. In the first ODI match, Bangladesh won because of the good performance of the top order players. Bangladesh started losing wickets very fast in today's match. I thought they might lose all their wickets before 100. However, Bangladeshi bowlers are trying hard enough to perform well.
