Not extending his contract makes sense when we are talking about someone who already has a contract, why would he want to end up extending already. He was leaving this season already, so keeping him one more year was the best they could do which is why him staying one more season is all they could hope for at this moment.

However, we are looking into something that could still be extended at the end of the season, we are going into the season with everyone at zero, if Barcelona ends up being champions for example then he may still extend, or if the financial situation gets better then he may end up getting another contract. All of these do matter in the end and I feel like we should consider how good Barcelona being good at the end of the season, that may change the contract situation.

Ancelottis "experience" is playing direct football, and when you have amazing players that is not really that hard to do it, which he had in all four of his UCL titles to be fair. I am definitely not saying he wasn't successful or anything, you have to be a mad man to say that he isn't a great manager, but it is not his tactics that made him great, anyone could make their team play the same tactic, but nobody has the same amount of "get the best out of a player" like Ancelotti does, give this team to another manager, same team, and make them play EXACTLY the same tactic, but you won't get this success.

Ancelottis real secret is not formation or style or anything, it is his communication and "friendship" with players, that makes the players give 110% every game, even if it is unimportant game.

I do not think that Lebron has anything to prove, not to me at the very least. You can make all the MJ and Kobe type of comparisons and anything you want, and I loved Kobe, the only jersey that I ever owned was Kobe jersey, so you could make any argument you want, but this dude broke over 40k, while being a top five passer ever, and he had one of the most clutch defensive plays in history of basketball as well.

So, you could argue whatever you want, for me he is up there and while he may not have that "fighter" style of mentality or "mamba" mentality, that doesn't mean that he was bad, we have seen him win 4 rings like that, which means imagine if this is relaxed and "not mamba mentality" Lebron, then what could he have been with mamba mentality? Score 50k and have 20k assists and 20k rebounds? Dude is a beast, let him be, he is 38 or 39 now, he could just straight up lose, Kobe was already retired, and MJ was playing for a shitty Wizards team by that point, Lebron is leading a Lakers team to playoffs.

some news

South Korea and Thailand have announced that they will apply to the FIA ​​to have a grand prix in their countries. An emissary will go to analyze the projects and decide on any candidature.
It seems that South Korea and Thailand see the potential of F1 to bring tourists to their countries and how hosting this sport in their countries can increase the prestige of tourism in their countries. I feel that South Korea could be the strongest candidate to hold an F1 race, because they have the money and infrastructure that is more supportive of holding an F1 race.
I remembered that my country is also building a circuit which is planned to host F1 in 2026, but I don't know whether it will pass the FIA ​​selection or not because this circuit is close to Singapore which also hosts F1.
Quote
I feel like those are nations that are growing more and more and more in tourism, both didn't even have a place in tourism maybe 30 years ago or so, now when you look at it, we all feel like they are amazing places to visit and would love to see them.

When you think about that, adding f1 to their country could mean at least tens of thousands of people, imagine getting 40-50 thousand more people there, and that is just at that moment, after that we are talking about both marketing with these people and also all the people who went there and came back telling how beautiful those places are, meaning even the race is over, other people will come because of it as well. So these are all important factors, spending a few million dollars on this could be an amazing deal for everyone.

OP is right, but we can't put all the blame on influencers or ads promoters, they are simply doing that for monetary value which for me isn't bad. They have built a system with followers, so it's left for you to sign up or not.

We have seen different gambling sites promoted but we didn't still sign up for, why because we didn't see any cordial reason to, that's same thing, if you train your ward properly I don't think there is any need for fear. The only solution is you knowing those you follow and listen to on social media platforms.
It indeed depends on the person and those promoting or advertising gambling platforms aren't the only ones to be blamed for it because what they are doing is only for them to earn a living, you don't need to follow what they do or say because they are doing what is right for them and you are supposed to do what is right for you, and for an individual, not getting involved in gambling, or trying not to become addicted should be the right thing for them to do.

If I'm a content creator on YouTube, and I'm promoting a casino platform because they are paying me for it, I wouldn't want my subscribers to become addicted gamblers but I would want them to gamble for fun and don't get carried away only because I'm promoting gambling because I have a different motive behind doing that.
That's a risk that you are taking when you are making that kind of situation. I have seen this from even the simplest things, like for example if you are a fan of a team in sports and you make videos regarding that team, and share stuff on twitter, you are going to get hate from not only opponent teams but also even if you say one wrong thing they disagree with then even the fans of that team will end up saying something indecent to you as well. That's why it's quite important to realize that we are not going to get anything reasonable with these streamers, because they can't control what others are doing.

I personally believe that we are not going to get all the same fans, some viewers will do it as a hobby while some others will do it as addiction and the streamers can't make anything about that.

It's all over for the Lakers now. Thing could've been different if they steal that game 2 from the Nuggets home court. Game 3 was actually the same story as game 2, only that the Nuggets played a better 3rd quarter so they were able to flip the lead on their advantage easily as the Lakers' offense once again are lacking. They started strong but couldn't sustain it and totally lost in 2nd half, especially in the 4th quarter. They gave up too early then tried to make a small come back during the dying seconds.
We will be expecting a huge adjustments on the Laker team and I'd be damn surprised if they decide to keep Darvin Hamm, the man was just not ready to coach a team, his rotation and time out calls are always off. Coach Malone just completely dominated and destroyed him and the whole Laker squad.
I feel like game three was a lot clear and easy win for Denver, which is a shocker to me because I expected Lakers to end up with a win after they go to their home court, and that should have been an advantage for them but looking at the game it was a lot worse for them at the moment. That's why I think the series is over, it is 3-0 right now and no team has ever come back from 3-0 to win it.

And yes I know that Lebron once won from 3-1 down so that feels like something only Lebron can do but in this case even Lebron will not end up doing this and he just has to realize that this Lakers team can't win. They need a better coach for starters, and they also need a better team. Russel is their third best player and he is just not enough for the moment if you ask me, they need better team.

Like the standing in the previous matchday. City was leading two points in front of arsenal. So, as long as city will win all of remaining matches and it will have two points gap to the arsenal till the end of season. As long as city will able to win the remaining games and it will lead two points ahead of arsenal.
City must be winning all of remaining games and PL trophy will on its hand. City will break a new record as a team that can win EPL 4 times in a row.
Is just sating that Man City is going to win their remaining matches to enable them lift the premier league title because at this stage now in the premier league Man City can not give a chance to any clubs to even get a draw with them, however, one thing I just like about Man City Is that they always have target and they are always serious.
I do agree that there isn't any team that they will lose against, they are always that good and they will end up with something that will be quite good. I think winning every game is a big big possibility and they will end up with a good title again, plus they are at FA cup finals right now as well which means that they could win that too. This is quite a good team and they should be happy.

The possibility of them not getting full wins could be very unlikely, they are a great team and they will not let go of the title with this few games left. If we were like halfway through the season, like if it was January or something then I would say that there is a possibility that they would lose, that's a possibility but that doesn't mean that they are going to end up losing when there are this few games left.

Arne Slot doesn't really sound like it would be too bad, I do not understand why "big name" manager thing is a talking point, Arne Slot has done great job so far and I believe that he would be a good manager for Liverpool.

What matters is that they should be considering the deal to be for long term, and if they know what they are doing then they could see him do a lot better with him building a team for his system. That's the problem with current teams, they hire a manager and before that manager installs his system to the team, they fire that manager for "failing", the manager usually doesn't get enough time to actually do something. I believe that we can't really make that type of change and we should consider getting a lot better results with better and better time.

Football is a game of strategy. Luck is just a small thing.
I disagree partially. Skills do help to a great extent in any sport related betting(Not just football), but luck matters a lot too which is why it definitely is not a small thing as you mentioned.

H2H stats are just one parameter among many, many parameters along with the luck factor when betting on various sports.
I do agree that luck will always be a big point on any gambling, doesn't matter if it is something as ordinary as dice, which is mainly luck, but it will matter at sportsbetting as well.

However, there are a lot of people who lose just because they are risking way too much for no good reason, so skills means something as well, doesn't mean that skill is the only thing that matters, of course luck matters more than skill, but it also doesn't mean that skill doesn't worth anything at all, I believe that skill does mean something. This is why we should be careful with what we have, and that's going to be meaningful in the end, we should consider that as an option. I hope that we could see the difference between the two.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 25, 2024, 08:11:23 PM
Currently there is no burden for PSG to play in the league, so Enrique should indeed start to guard and avoid his main players from injury now, the victory against Lorient yesterday further solidified PSG's position at the top of the table and actually PSG could celebrate their championship this season if Monaco lost other match against Lille, but unfortunately Monaco's victory forced PSG to celebrate their title next week when facing le Havre on the condition that PSG must win and although the difference in points with Monaco remain 11 points, but Monaco can no longer catch up with the points with only 3 games left.

At the moment Enrique should focus more attention on the Champions League and Mbappe, Dembele, Donnarumma and also Vitinha should be avoided by Enrique to play in Ligue 1 if indeed they want to win the Champions League this season, the players I mentioned are PSG's main players and honestly they have a big influence so far in every PSG game,  so if they suffer an injury then it will certainly only harm PSG and of course make PSG will find it difficult in the Champions League later.
I do agree that we are not going to get anything from PSG at the league level, they are resting some of their players as well, so I agree that they are not going to end up with anything major, we are going to see them do as well as they could hope for. I think the most important factor here is that they are going to try and be better.

I think if they could avoid taking hits at the league, then they are going to end up with a much better result. We should see them consider fatigue as an issue and they are on the verge of getting the one thing they desire the most, which is a champions league title. If they could focus just on that, and ignore the league, they will get the league anyway, and UCL could be a possibility as well.

Alright, after beating Liverpool and moving on with their life at Europa, which is a great great achievement, Atalanta is now at finals of Coppa Italia as well, which could be amazing if they win it. They have a chance to finish this season with a double, not even Inter has that chance anymore because Inter lost both at UCL and also at Coppa Italia as well, the only team left in Italy right now with a chance for a Double is Atalanta.

Not saying that they will, but having that chance nearly at May is the way to go in any season. Even if they lose both of them, they would be bale to say they played finals at the cup, and they played at least at semi finals of Europa, which is a season that is successful by their standards if you ask me.

It is 100% clear that Liverpool will be gone now, we could say that the yare going to end the season third, that is guaranteed at this point. I do not see neither City nor Arsenal losing again, not that much at least, the difference is huge, I think Arsenal would need to lose once and tie once, so that is not going to happen, and not even seeing Liverpool winning every game they have after this as well.

So, all in all I would say that it looks like we are going to end up with anything major, and we should probably consider all the possibilities. I believe that we can make it work one way or another, and we just need to figure out how we could get better with it, that is the most important part of this all and now it is just a race between Arsenal and City.

To be fair Manchester United is right, and I feel like Jim or James or whatever that new owners name, he is right as well. People are expecting so much from them, but the reality is that we are not going to really get that much from everyone, we should be realizing that it is not that simple and we could definitely look at it as something that could take some time.

Fans are always looking for a title at any given season, but the reality is that United is building a good team, they have like 4 great young players, and they are building around them, if they could come up with lets say 2 more next season that would be 6 great young players, and then another 2, and you have yourself a great team that could win it. It is that simple, they just need to wait.

Its good utility already that gamblers could able to choose this token to gamble on their casino. But its like there's no large interest for people to grab this since their volume is not quiet appealing for people who want to use it since maybe they get afraid that once they choose BFG they could not able to sell it since the volume will drop more also for sure people concern about where it listed since there are some accumulators don't trust those exchange where it listed so maybe this is the effect on why we see that BFG is not moving much.
The BFG token is mostly traded on DEXs. The main trading volumes are on Biswap, and I don't remember that this DEX has had any problems in terms of trust from users. By the way, the liquidity on the BFG/USDT pair on this exchange is $1,2 million at the moment. So, the average betfury user should not have any problems if he decides to buy/sell BFG tokens.
The high liquidity is a very very strong indicator that this isn't some unwanted token that nobody cares about. There is a market for it and it means that we are going to end up with a good trading pair if we want to be interested in this token. One thing we need to be worried about is that if some big whale wants to ruin it, then they could, one million dollars is nothing and they do not even need that, some 200-300k would be enough, and there are plenty of people in the crypto world with that kind of cash to burn just to make more money.

However, the good thing is that there isn't shorting option as far as I know, so nobody has a reason to drop the price, which means that we are going to end up being decent for the long term.

At this point, even though they had a very bad second half of the season, Juventus still carries a chance to win a cup this season, and that's very good for them. They may have failed at the league and not doing that great, they were going for the title and not only lost that and even lost the second place, and I think coppa italia is the only thing that means something for them. They are going to have hard time at the finals of course, it is not going to be easy, but if they can win that, it would be at least another cup at their museum and that means something.

It is not as good as getting the league, but on a season when they are not even at Europe, it is good to end the season with one title, that should definitely be great.

I do not see what Bayern Munich sees in Rangnick. First of all, he is definitely a nobody, look at his history and you will see that he never managed a big club, biggest club he managed was Leipzig, and just a caretaker position at United, which he didn't do all that well to be fair.

I believe that they would be making a huge huge mistake if they got him, and while I do agree that they are a team that usually makes all the correct decisions, and while they could still win the title next season with Rangnick, it still doesn't mean that he would be the best candidate. I would say that they need to look elsewhere, there are other managers they could look for, and there are so many other names which has experience with huge clubs like Bayern.

Dortmund vs Leipzig game is definitely one of the most important ones this week. It is going to be vital importance for who is going to be fourth and last place for the UCL spot.

Which, when you think about it, is crucial for teams with money needs, and yeah Dortmund really needs it, the difference between getting money at UCL and getting money at Europa is huge, you need to be like at semi finals at least to get the money you get at the groups. Plus, as a team that is at semi finals of UCL this season, Dortmund will want to keep the roll going, which will be hard because players have fatigue, but I believe that they will do their best.

I am not sure who will win, but I do see Dortmund a little bit better at this point, they gained a good momentum.
138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 24, 2024, 04:05:01 PM
I think you simply cannot have gambling as a hobby as sooner or later it has huge danger that you can become addicted as persons are driven by emotions and emotions can deceive us anytime.I can understand to have hobby videogames,watching a movie or go running to keep yourself fit.I have yet to see someone who has gambling as a hobby and has been doing well over the long run and by long run I mean time span of 5-10 years,no one so far which for me says a lot about why gambling should not be a hobby.
Good self-control is the best prevention against being exposed to addiction. So far, gambling just to enjoy while completing the game is still something I do even though I am aware that addiction can occur because players who play to chase victory will be based on emotional outbursts so that self-control cannot apply.

There are differences with me in gambling. Just make it a habit to complete your enjoyment while watching and playing with a financial percentage target that has been prepared beforehand. I don't ignore what you said that it can happen like that to many gamblers.
I do agree that gambling to have fun is the end result, doesn't matter if you make money or if you compete and win or anything else, what matters is that we are going to end up with some fun, if we are ending up with fun then we are doing the right thing and we should continue to gamble, but that has to be the most important part of it. If we stop having fun while we are gambling then we should stop doing it all together and start looking at something else instead, that would make more sense.

I believe that the best way to go would be just making sure that we have some money aside, and we gamble with that. Which would allow us to have a situation where even if we lose, then we are not going to lose money that means something to us.
139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: April 24, 2024, 03:06:43 PM
When they dare to use their family's money, I think they are already seriously addicted, where they dare to take actions that take big risks which could even harm other people, such as their family or friends. with those who dare to carry out such actions, it seems like they have completely lost self-control, where they think that gambling can indeed give them a win, even though the gambling they do ends in defeat, but they think that the next time they gamble they can just keep winning like this. That.

If they are like that then it could get worse if they just keep quiet, I also have a brother who likes to gamble, but up to now everything is still fine, but if one day I hear he is doing something crazy, of course I will intervene and help him. prevent doing anything even crazier, such as using his family's money or even selling the property he owns to gamble.
I do agree that when you use someone else's money, that is the way to avoid it. I remember Miami mayor when I talk about things like this, or even El Salvador president, they invest and they do not gamble, but they are using others money to make these investments.

Even they are told not to do that because it is others money, and that's just the fact that it is investment. Imagine people who gamble with others money, that's even worse. Just take a look at the lending option of this forum, you will see plenty of people who are looking for money that they could gamble with, and they could end up with a situation that would make more sense, they are just doing silly moves by trying to get a loan and then spend that on gambling, and repay if they win, or vanish if they lose.
140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: April 24, 2024, 12:29:51 PM
I have seen Mike Tyson and his training now, I feel like that is actually a good situation to be in at that age. I mean he did have some period in his life when he didn't take care of his body, it looked like he gained so much weight (maybe even more than 100 pounds) and he looked just straight up fat and unhealthy, even used a cane to walk. That Mike Tyson would of course not be able to fight, the one from Hangover movies, that wasn't a possibility for him to fight.

However, looking at him now, he is leaner, and he looks meaner as well, he is punching the hell out of anyone, and he is not like that anymore. I believe that he is nowhere near what he used to be obviously, but he is clearly the better boxer than Jake, without a doubt.
