You are very right, underdog are a great way to make some good profit if the gambler is lucky to win a bet on them, as the chances of them winning are always very low, that pushes the odds high which brings about good profit they find their way to win.

Last time I had an experience of betting on underdogs and winning was during 2022 world cup, I am no longer sure the particular team, but I think it should be Morocco and poland, many never expected Morocco to beat poland, I myself didn't believe it would happen, I just decided to try out my luck since several bets was already on poland wining, and the money wasn't as much so I was ready to lose it, so I took my chances on Morocco, and to my greatest surprise, then won.
But you risk losing so big, right?

I think picking the underdog in the bet is a high risk option to lose, but you can try your luck at a low bet value. After all, some people can outsmart this by choosing the underdog and also choosing the favorite, but they only do this on two different betting sites.

I don't know why the big teams are not interested in Romelu Lukaku. Romelu Lukaku is only 30 years old. Romelu Lukaku's performance last season wasn't too bad. He also scored 3 goals in 8 matches in the Champions League. Teams like Newcastle may be interested in signing Romelu Lukaku. Not many teams are showing interest in signing Romelu Lukaku. I look forward to seeing what Chelsea management decides next.
Lukaku's golden years are over in my opinion and he will never be as sharp as a striker. We know he can still contribute to the team and score goals, but when you want to compete in elite competitions and want to win titles you can't count on Lukaku as the main striker.

Some mid-range teams might be able to take advantage of Lukaku's situation, but when they really want a striker who is fast and has good finishing then I don't think Lukaku is what they are interested in. Indeed, Lukaku scored 14 goals and 6 assists with Inter last season in 3 different competitions, but his performance has dropped significantly compared to previous seasons.

I'm interested in 3 games and have probably played enough for years. Sports betting (football) is a favourite, but slots and dice are also two good games. But unfortunately, I can only submit two votes because only two votes are allowed by you.

Why only 2 instead of 3 or 4 votes? I think it would be good for a vote.

It would be better if we atleast have 3 options to choose because it's very hard to pick only 2,
I agree with you.

Manchester United have strived better under Erik Ten Hag’s administration, he is doing a great job with the team, first he has transformed the team to a team playing with team work, secondly he has impacted a winning mentality to the team and they now work hard and compete for trophies even against the best teams in the league, I think he has the attributes and qualities to succeed with Manchester United.
You're right, and anyone else should probably admit that too. Manchester United under Ten Hag is better and developed than the previous coach. They ended the season in third which is not a bad ending with 75 points.

But we realize that Ten Hag has not completely solved Manchester United's problems so far. Ten Hag still has to bring in some quality players as defenders and strikers. Manchester United's defense is still fragile, so is the striker. So of course Ten Hag has to have a good focus on that and improve on it next season, especially since Manchester United is one of the teams that has represented the Premier League in the Champions League.

Modric will not leave the national team after the 2024 Euro. He might go to the MLS or Saudi league, but I doubt if he will retire or stay in Europe. Modric is actually still very good at his age, the only thing is that he can't play back to back for a long time.
It was a good thing for Madrid to renew his contract for a year because Madrid still needs his creativity in that midfield. There is no midfielder as creative as Modric right now in that Madrid midfield, not even 100m euros Bellingham.
After all, Real Madrid also can't let their midfield destabilize if they don't keep Modric. Even though Real Madrid has many players in midfield positions such as Aurélien Tchouaméni, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos and Jude Bellingham, Modric has been their mainstay throughout the season.

Luka Modric is a key player in Real Madrid's midfield and it is quite natural for Real Madrid to keep him while expecting Jude Bellingham to adapt well to his new team. I know Modric won't be as strong as he was a few seasons ago, but he is still a key player that Real Madrid needs next season.

The massive overhaul at Chelsea is risky, but it was inevitable; there were so many players that were underperforming and not doing well at all. While earning big wages; the likes of Ziyech, Koulibaly, Loftus Cheek, Harverts has been on the clubside with subpar performance and high wages. It is only right to move them on.

Similarly, Pochettino is doing well with purging the squad; the right time to rebuild chelsea is now
It does make sense to do so, so I wouldn't find it too bad. It's just that I think Pochettino is too hasty in making decisions in his plans for next season, for me Kai Havertz is still good and has enough potential, but maybe not so with Pochettino. He probably knew what the consequences would be, obviously it would be his responsibility.

I'm sure they have a lot of options to put in the midfield. They can evaluate one of them and make up for Gundogan's absence. As for the team captain, I think it is no longer as important as it used to be. İlkay leaves, someone else becomes captain and Manchester City continues to win, I don't think anything will change.
Kevin De Bruyne will replace Ilkay Gundogan who moved to Barcelona. De Bruyne will be Manchester City's main captain next season, but Pep Guardiola may still be hoping for a worthy replacement.

Pep Guardiola has signed possible Mateo Kovacic for Ilkay Gundogan's replacement. Kovacic is also good at providing stability in midfield, he can help Rodri and De Bruyne in midfield. Pep Guardiola has many options in midfield, so Manchester City's form next season shouldn't fall apart.

Barcelona do need a midfield player to replace Busquets and Ilkay Gundogan fits perfectly in that position. His contribution to the club is undoubted and he has proven while at Manchester City, this is the right choice and Xavi knows very well the conditions Barcelona are facing so recruiting Ilkay Gundogan can be an alternative in maximizing their budget next season.
Barcelona does not need to pay Manchester City for Ilkay Gundogan, but Barcelona only needs to pay the player's salary for the duration of his contract. I don't think Barcelona will offer much in terms of salary in Ilkay Gundogan's contract due to current financial constraints, but Ilkay Gundogan probably understands that quite well.

~~~
Finances make it impossible for Barcelona to get quality players with big salaries because it will fix the club and maybe they can take an alternative like they did with Ilkay Gundogan. So far they still need a right back so they can keep the defensive area more solid, but the attack line must also be optimized so that Lewandoski has the right partner next season.

Some of the considerations are fundamental when a player is injured because the existing substitutes cannot play more consistently because their performance is far different from the core players, so inevitably Barcelona must also recruit several other players.
Barcelona's approach to player transfers is considered good as long as they have financial problems.
But Barcelona and its management also have to find a way to solve this financial problem quickly. They need good players instead of free transfer players, they don't have to be like Juventus as an old lady.

The fact that Chelsea are is letting go of some of their best players  to other clubs both in Europe and in Saudi Arabia should send a strong message that the new manager at the club Mauricio Pochettino has marked these same players as players that are surplus to his requirement.
The transfer season isn't yet finished and I'm very sure after mass clearance of players, Chelsea will definitely sign their replacement which will be the kind of players that the new manager will recommend to suit his style of football
The massive overhaul Chelsea has made in the last 2 seasons is very risky. They have spent a lot of money to recruit new players but their income is not balanced. If you visit the site transfermarkt then you know their finances are out of balance.

Mauricio Pochettino shouldn't be rushing to purge the old Chelsea squad and replace it with a new one, but I think he may have the boss' approval already. Mauricio Pochettino seems to need a lot of time for his new team to really be able to put in good form, so I don't think Chelsea will be as good as expected next season.

I don't know which players Pochettino will bring to Chelsea or will they focus more on selling players and they will make a few more changes midway through the season when the transfer window opens?

Chelsea can only hope for a plan in Pochettino.
So far we've only seen what Pochettino is building at Chelsea, but we never know if it will have a big impact on his form next season. Chelsea are in a difficult transition period, but they have the possibility to return to good form if all the players work hard next season. The first season will not be as smooth sailing as one might think, it is very possible for Pochettino.

Instead of forcing a transfer at this time, I think it's good for Pochettino to wait to see how his team develops in the middle of the season. There is no guarantee whatsoever about the team's performance even if they replace all the old players with new players.

Getting a player on a free transfer who has both ability and experience is a huge advantage for Barcelona and indeed the midfield position needs to be improved by Xavi, his arrival at Camp Nou would create an ideal midfield collaboration for next season. Adaptability is not a big problem for İlkay Gündogan because Xavi's coaching style is not much different from Pep Guardiola, so it will not be difficult for him to adapt to the team.

For the next two seasons İlkay Gündogan is still the right option for Xavi and I also want to see how in the next season he can help the team develop even more and his experience can also help other young mates in the team.
Ilkay Gundogan is the perfect signing for Barcelona. He is a player who has good experience as a midfield general, which is exactly what Barcelona needed after Busquets moved to Inter Miami. It may be true that Ilkay Gundogan is no substitute for Busquets, but he has good midfield control.

If possible, I hope Barcelona can also bring in other players this season to strengthen their defense. The right-back has changed a lot and they have to have good players there, not Araujo or Kounde. Xavi is aware of his team's current weaknesses, but with Barcelona short on cash it's clear he will have to adjust things accordingly. Barcelona's strategy in player transfers can be said to be good, but sometimes some old players are more easily injured so they can't always be relied on.

I think everything is getting weird for Chelsea in the next season because they are losing many players and Pochettino will not have easy times in Chelsea in the next season. Koulibaly and Kanté both left this team and joined the Arabian teams, also Mateo Kovačić and Kai Havertz are leaving Chelsea.
Mason Mount got offers from Manchester United.
Mendy and Ziyech are both going to join the Saudi teams.
There are many players leaving Chelsea.
So of course Mauricio Pochettino will make a major overhaul for his first season and then he will be faced with a tough job. Mauricio Pochettino will have to reduce his squad and many players will be sold, especially those who are not included in his plans for next season. Also, a lot of the players who have been sold are not the players who played a lot last season, so I think it will only be a burden on the coach if he still wants to keep them.

So far you probably know how deep Chelsea's squad would be without them, so I guess they've just been pretty lavish with a lot of talented, expensive players. Pochettino is also still hoping to be able to sign a few players, so maybe there will be a new name in the Chelsea squad before the 2023-2024 season starts.

The sack of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic at the end of last season shows that they recognize the coach is not too blame for the unfavorable end to the season but it was as a result of bad decisions made by the CEO and sporting director.

Now there is so much pressure of Tuchel to deliver as we anticipate the start of next season and it would be difficult to find excuses for him if the season does not go as planned. They have not had a very strong transfer window and have an ageing squad which might be exploited next season except they make some changes now.

Bayern Munich are still the favorites in the Bundesliga but it is quite possible that some internal problems have been bothering them. I believe Bayern Munich are still going strong regardless of how they ended last season, but of course improvement is always expected because a team's performances are never the same from season to season.

Bayern Munich are a strong team in the Champions League, but they are not the only ones. Barcelona, ​​​Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal, Napoli, Inter, PSG and several other excellent teams are good teams. So there is no reason for Bayern Munich to be satisfied with what they have now, so they have to move on.

Although Mbappe refuses contract extension in PSG, it is still not clear whether Real Madrid to sign him in the current transfer window or not. Florentino Pérez said they won't sign Mbappe this year, they probably sign him next year (in 2024). However, since Real Madrid has no strong striker so far, they may decide to sign Mbappe faster. I assume 250 million euros is actually too huge money for Mbappe transfer fees. I'm not sure Florentino Pérez is okay with that price, especially Mbappe's contract in PSG is only 1 year left. Mabppe's price should be lower than 200 million euros, 180 million euros is probably the ideal price for Mbappe. It is the same as his current market value.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/kylian-mbappe/profil/spieler/342229
Florentino Pérez may be very confident about getting Mbappe for free from PSG, but I don't think PSG have anything to lose because of that. It is certain that Kylian Mbappé will not extend his contract and so far PSG is wary of this bad possibility, especially with the club wanting him for free. PSG would be ready to sell Kylian Mbappé to whoever offered him the highest value, and I think several Premier League teams would want that too.

Kylian Mbappé won't be available for free to Real Madrid, and maybe Florentino Pérez will bite the bullet when other teams ask for him for a lower fee instead of expecting him for free. Florentino Pérez also tried a few seasons ago, but he failed because Mbappe extended his contract.

It is even reported that currently Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring in one of the Barcelona players, namely Raphinha. And I think if Chelsea manage to sign Raphinha from Barcelona then that will be pretty good news. And actually Rapinha is also pretty good at least he has made 10 goals and 12 assists in 50 appearances and of course in 1 season. Because Rapinha has also not been in Barcelona for a long time. he has only been under contract at Barcelona since last season. Last season he left Leeds and went to Barcelona. so I think he will also adapt easily to the Chelsea game if he comes back to the Premier League.
If Pochettino really wants Raphinha then maybe it won't happen because Xavi doesn't want to let him go. Raphinha is a key player in Xavi's game plan next season, not only him but I think Dembele is the same. There is a possibility that Raphinha will be sold, but not now because Barcelona still really need him.

Pochettino seems very rushed in his team building plans. He must control his desires and evaluate the team's performance, because of course there is still the upcoming transfer market that he can use to find the players he needs. Chelsea don't have to buy a lot of players, so their transfer policy has to be controlled.

Since Mbappe does not want to extend his contract with PSG, many rumors of his departure are getting closer.  Fabrizio Romano has said Mbappe will leave for Real Madrid this summer. He would be Madrid's record purchase and would beat Neymar's transfer record. It even looks like Romano said he would get a long-term contract, a 6-year contract. Even Real Madrid prepared a fund of 250 million euros.
If Real Madrid really want to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu, then of course they will pay a lot of money for him.
But I'm sure Real Madrid will get a performance commensurate with Mbappe which will probably make them the scariest team next season. Breaking the historical transfer record is possible, but are you sure Real Madrid will do it instead of waiting for Mbappe's contract to expire?

I myself am not sure that Madrid will do it, but things can change if Real Madrid has the right way to carry out its mission.

Going down to the $26k price area may still happen if there is further FUD attacking Bitcoin.
I didn't hope for it, but based on the pattern that occurred in previous years, there is a possibility of another correction going forward.

the achievement of the current bitcoin price being able to stay above $30k is good enough. The market looks supportive and many investors are starting to enter. But it does not rule out the possibility that a correction will occur. it is quite normal if there is a correction in the next few days. or when the market drops weekly.
To reach a higher price, it certainly needs some corrections, so that the current position will be even stronger.
I also wouldn't completely discount the possibility of another correction below $28k in the following months, but this incoming investor support is expected to keep the price above $30k longer than we expect. It's always possible for Bitcoin to gain FUD allowing the price to correct again, but I don't expect that to happen verry soon.

Normally, I don't like the idea of a player returning after leaving a team. But Mane is a player who gained value with Liverpool and it is a fact that he did not succeed in Germany. He also started to get older. That's why he may be happier if he returns.
Of course, we haven't seen any serious transfer speculation about this yet, only football commentators are talking about it
There have been cases where one player was sold to another team but in the next few seasons returning to his old team would only see him leave more quickly than before. They will no longer find his best form in his old team due to maybe different strategies and visions of the game, but Mane will probably be different because there are many old friends who still play for Liverpool today.

I don't know how likely it is that Liverpool will sign Mane again from Bayern Munich, but I don't think it will ever happen again. Mane is more likely to go to the Arab Pro League, but there is no certainty about his future.
