Liverpool is leading 2-0 in a home game against Brentford and it's almost full time, so looks like a certain 3 points for the Reds.
Brentford is one of the weakest teams out there (at least on paper) so it's hardly a test. Liverpool will be playing away against Man Utd next week, if they win, that will be a good indicator of their form and on whether or not they will be serious contenders to reach for the title this season.
Liverpool really enjoyed themselves at home, i didn’t believe they would comfortably beat Brentford this way, they dominated the game all through they created a lot of chances but were able to convert just two which was enough for them to take all 3 points and proceed on their title charge. They have not really been tested so far because they have been playing against weak teams. Let’s see how Slot and his boys will perform against a worthy opponent, they will be playing Manchester United next weekend which is more of a test than their past opponents. United are not at their best yet but they are capable of testing Liverpool and will show how improved and ready Liverpool is this season.

Are you watching Wolves v Chelsea right now? It has been an amazing match so far.  Cheesy  Chelsea are 4-2 ahead now but it hasn't been easy at all. Wolves have tried their best until a point.
Couldn’t miss it for any reason. I was surprised how Chelsea ended up winning the game with such goal margin after struggling throughout the first half, Wolves were the better side in the first half and they managed to equalize every goal they conceded in the first half but they couldn’t bring same energy in the second half.

Chelsea still need some improvement to do especially with their new tactics, the first half showed that they are yet to perfect it but i believe they will soon. Good performance from Chelsea they should build on the momentum and improve their game.

At least my predictions for Leverkusen , Dortmund and Bayern Munich was right on the first Matchday.
I have not seen the game from Dortmund and Bayern Munich but looks like that Gnabry is back in a good way.
Between Heidenheim and Holstein Kiel there are still no goals and fingers crossed that Heidenheim will win that.
It was what everyone expected, none of those team is expected to lose on the first Match Day. Leverkusen showed what they were made of, Dortmund did as well and today Bayern Munich didn’t disappoint as well although they were tested by their opponent wolfsburg as they equalized and took the lead just a few minutes after the half time break but Bayern were able to take back the lead and secured all 3 points.

It’s not the perfect game but they will definitely improve their game with time i fully trust the manager and i have no doubt that he will compete for the title this season. For now it doesn’t matter what the score line will be all that matters is to win and secure all 3 points.

I have seen it. The new contract seems to improve Palmer's old one. His performances far outpaced his wage. So, the club decided to adjust his wage on the new contract extension. Also, Palmer is gonna receive his new weekly salary on his new contract, which is around £130k.

They will also do this if another player performs incredibly. It's not about the length of their contract. It's about what new agreement exists in the extension between them and the player.
It was right to improve his wages after showing an impressive performance last season, alot of players earn more than he does and still don’t perform as he does the likes of sterling who earn so much can’t perform consistently and struggle in lots of games.

Palmer deserved the increase in wages but increasing his wages alone would seem somehow that’s why the club decided to make use of the opportunity to add an additional year to his contract. This will make other players want to perform better to get an increase in their pay.

I wouldn't say that right away, because bookmakers offered different odds than your 70%/30%.

Brighton & Hove Albion           Manchester United
             2.83                                    1.32

Judging by their predictions, the advantage was still given to Manchester United and it was not obvious that Brighton & Hove Albion would win.

Those who bet on Brighton & Hove Albion "played against the market" and made money.
Which bookmakers? I don't believe it.
Shitty bookmakers, they favored Manchester United over Brighton even when it was obvious that Brighton has every reason to win the match although i don’t think the odds given to United should be as low as 1.32, the gap shouldn’t be that much even if United was to be favored. Head to head victories Brighton has won more in recent games and look more stable performance wise. Those who didn’t look at the numbers and considered overall team performance were lucky on this one.


About today’s game between Wolves and Chelsea what do you all think?

With Chelsea’s performance from pre season games it’s difficult to predict what they can do and the outcome of the match but i am sure it will be an interesting match. It’s an away match for Chelsea so it won’t be an easy game for them but i hope they can at least get their first victory of the season.

Bayern Leverkusen continues where they left off in the league, they opened the new season with a win.
We watched an enjoyable match tonight. Let's see what kind of B.Leverkusen we will watch this season.
Granit Xhaka opened the season with a very nice goal tonight.
Leverkusen are back with their stoppage time goals to win the match just has they used to do it last season, it was an entertaining match but Leverkusen needs to be more careful this time around they might not be always lucky this season. They almost bottled a 2 goal lead and were lucky they conceded a penalty late in the game, they need to strengthen their defense because they concede too many goals and it’s bad for defending champions.

It a good way to start their season it means they still got their game. We don’t know what Bayern Munich will play tomorrow but they will have to win their game if they want to challenge for the title.

A bad start for Al Nassr as they had to start the league with a draw. Ronaldo was the scorer again and again in this match, but the goals he created were not enough to bring victory to Al Nassr as they still conceded.
They did not lack opportunities, but they could not make the most of them so they could only score one goal. They actually had to concede a goal early in the second half through a penalty. They were unlucky in this match and this also left another note. They could not concentrate quickly, especially at the beginning of the match, which is what made them finally get a penalty. Yes, that is a note that they must immediately fix.
It’s a disappointing start for Al Nassr because if they want to compete with Al Hilal they cannot start the season in this manner. Ronaldo has always been there scoring goals for them but the defender don’t balance it up for them, they keep conceding goals even to lesser opponents. They didn’t play bad the entire match they were just unlucky not to have scored a second goal, they kept on mounting pressure and couple of chances were missed and some hit the post.

The penalty conceded was as a result of poor defending that’s why it is important for them to improve their defense before the transfer window closes else it will be the same old story as last season where Al Hilal will end up being the best team once again.

Recently I had to explain to a friend what I was focusing in on financially speaking and I brought up crypto, specifically bitcoin. He was confused at first because he heard that it was unstable and risky. I knew that he already has a bad image of bitcoin so there was an urge to defend bitcoin but in the end I did not.

Because it was true. Crypto is volatile and even though Bitcoin has proved itself to continue to rise even after each dip, its price is still unstable. I realized that this does not necessarily have to be a bad thing especially if you are knowledgeable enough to minimize these risks. It was easy to get defensive but, in the end, I just explained to that friend that that is why it requires much attention and studying.
A lot of people get the wrong idea about cryptocurrency and bitcoin which is probably due to misinformation. They cannot be blamed fully because they are ignorant about it and it’s easy for them to believe anything they hear about bitcoin.

Defending bitcoin will only make you look like you’re dragging him into investing because you are into it. Next time you should just explain to them what bitcoin is like so they don’t get the wrong idea about it and let them decide for themselves if they are willing to invest in it.

It’s just as you said it, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is volatile in nature that why they are seen as an investment because they are capable of yielding profit but to get the best out of them one needs to study, learn and understand its basics and even more because it can also be as risky too.

Chelsea may be the team that can surprise us the most this year. I think it's quite difficult to make predictions about them, I really can't predict where we will see them in terms of the Champions League or the League table.
You’re absolutely right, Chelsea is a team that can surprise us because they are putting everything together to see them perform well this season, i also believe anything can happen even though they don’t seem like they can make top 4 yet but they have a strong team and a good coach to compete.

Not having patience with coaches is one of the reason why Chelsea keeps going back and forth in their performance. This season they’ll improve, hoping to continue on that trend the following season but they’ll end up sacking their coach and the new coach will have to start all over from scratch, this has affected them so much and I feel they should try and be patient with their coach at least, when he’s even able to improve the performance of the team compared to what they played in the previous season. Chelsea has a lot of work to do, I hope they end the season on an improved level this time around.
They need to start giving coaches time to settle and develop else their performance will just keep fluctuating. I hope they can give this new manager time to improve and achieve his goal at the club. Arsenal and Liverpool all didn’t get to this level by sacking their managers when they were struggling they gave them time and now they are at a different level. Patience is key to achieving success. If they had been patient with Pochettino they wouldn’t be struggling again this season and would be performing well by now.

According to reports, Sterling has been stripped of his jersey and is banned from training with the first team. I am not a Chelsea fan but even I know it is utter disrespect the way Raheem Sterling is being treated at Chelsea. This is not how to treat a player you have fallen out of love with. The club should sell Sterling now before the transfer window closes instead of this humiliation.
The way you saying it make it look as if he is being maltreated, leaving the club will be the best decision for himself because the manager had a word with him saying he is not in his plans and so he is not needed. Player like Sterling needs to play and not stay on the bench. For someone that is on the verge of leaving i think there is no need waiting to give his jersey number to someone else. This is no disrespect in my opinion and i am sure Sterling himself would understand the team situation.

It seems that Ipswich is still continuing to improve the team. Ipswich does not only look like a team that has survived one season in the EPL. The latest news is that Ipswich have agreed for Jack Clarke. The Sunderland player will move to Ipswich for a fee of £15 million and an additional £5 million. At the age of 23, he made 27 goals in 94 matches.

This is the best they can do right now if they really want to survive the premier league for another season, they know most of the players they have are not premier league standard players and they need to strengthen their squad to compete and survive in the league. They already lost their first game and so they need to prepare ahead for the long season, they signed Armando Broja from Chelsea and now Jack Clarke who knows the players they will add before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea can also do well if they improve on their performance with the new manager they got. What we expect from the club is a serious improvement from their last performance. We want to see the effect of the new coach on the team especially that they didn't do well in the last season. Starting off the season with a lost in their first game doesn't speak well of the team and is a signal that they need to do more. I'm more worried about Chelsea than any other A list team now because they just invested in a new manager and the expectations are high already.
You’re right there is room for improvement for them especially now that they got a new manager, things have not been the same and it have not been going well for the manager and the team so far but i know with time things will get better. Every coach needs time to build their team properly so the Chelsea management needs to understand that managers needs time. I just hope Enzo Maresca gets the time he deserves so he can prove himself.

I don’t expect Chelsea to win Manchester City in their opening match because they don’t seem ready yet, the needed a lesser opponent to test themselves to build on the momentum.

Winning in gambling will make your mood happy just as we get some rewards and we feel happy.  These feelings are so great and we feel so energic and positive.
However, once we start to lose in gambling, we slowly move towards the sadness phase. If the loss continues and we keep on losing the money, eventually it can lead to depression.

Yes, I understand that depression is a very severe stage and it won't come at once if you are a new gambler but if you are not a responsible gambler, it is very easy for the gambler to lose his emotions and become depressed in life. Focus on other entertainment other than gambling for some time can be helpful in relaxing our mind and regrouping again to come back strongly in gambling with a strong emotion.
It depends on your motive for gambling some people gamble to make money while some gamble for fun, they are not really after the money. For those that gamble for the money it is easier for them to get sad when they are losing money and these are the only set of people that may get depressed after losing a bet while those who gamble for fun are not really bothered about anything.

Gambling is not supposed to be taken too seriously because of it’s uncertainty, nothing is guaranteed and it has a 50/50 chance of success. Involving one’s emotions to gambling is a very terrible idea, it will always lead to bad decisions and can also lead to addiction. Another important tip is to always gamble money you can afford to lose so you don’t feel bad when you lose.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 21, 2024, 08:03:43 PM
Sometimes statistics in football tends to look absolutely ridiculous and this Cristiano Ronaldo vs Neymar Jr's achievements with their respective Saudi clubs is one of the those insane statistics. While Neymar Jr have been injured for most part of his time at Al Hilal, Cristiano Ronaldo have been banging in staggering number of goals for his club Al Nassr but sadly, Neymar Jr have four trophies to his name despite scoring just one goal while Cristiano Ronaldo can only boost of one.
Generations to come will read about their achievements in their different clubs and unless they're told in details, they'll think the one with four trophies did better than the one with  just one trophy.
Their stats are not even comparable and shouldn’t be compared at all because Neymar have not really been active for Al Hilal and all the trophies won was a merit for being part of the team so in the Saudi Pro League Ronaldo have shown more impact even though he has just won a trophy and always lose matches against Al Hilal.

Well, trophies are the most important thing but the effort of Ronaldo can not go unnoticed. I believe Ronaldo and Al Nassr will surely win more trophies soon.

Neymar is just lucky because when he was decide to moved to Al Hilal this team was very dominate Saudi Pro League and gets several trophies during this season
Neymar is really lucky he signed for Al Hilal, it even as if they have no use for him because their performance still remains perfect as always. No team seem to be at their level for now but they still need to watch out for Al Nassr this new season.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 21, 2024, 07:37:56 PM
The new Bundesliga season will soon begin and Bayern Munich also immediately get a fairly weak opponent so that there is still a greater chance for Harry Kane to score goals at the beginning of this season. But I just want to see how Kompany will strategize by telling all his players to be able to work together in one team for more satisfying results in the new season. Because it is clear as you said that the instinct to score goals in Harry Kane is still there and it is still not lost in Harry Kane himself.
Bayern Munich looks ready for the new season and with the new manager they should be able to bounce back from last season’s disappointing performance and also with the addition of Michel Olise they should be even more stronger. There is no doubt about Harry Kane scoring goals as usual, he might probably score as many goals as he did last season and probably get his goal scoring account opened in the first game of the season i just hope this time his goals get him a trophy.

Kompany looks like a manager that knows what he is doing that’s why i have faith in me. He should be able to beat Leverkusen this season and win the title this season at least.
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake lost bet again on: August 21, 2024, 05:57:44 PM
It getting normal seeing Drakes gambling losses and by now i expect people to get used to it and stop seeing it as being careless. We all know how gambling can be and that one can lose even when gambling on the cheapest odds.

No one talks about his wins and i am sure he also win some of his bets if not he would have thought of stopping it by now. I believe his wins are even more than his loses but people make something over his loss and makes them go viral.

This kind of betting is for rich people and it is mostly profitable for them, they risk huge amounts on a bet that is likely to happen although nothing is certain so sometimes they end up losing. People think Drake is reckless with his bets but i don’t think so though sometimes he is a bit reckless but not all the time.
156  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Must love the DIP in other to maximize profits on: August 20, 2024, 09:59:50 PM

Moreover, since we can't avoid experiencing the bear part of the market, we have to survive past it which will require a lot of patience as a key factor. Aside that, according to our level of duration to hold our investment, we should be calculative enough to accept the DIP more rather than the bull, because we get to actualize to reality how then we want our portfolio to look like, it comes from loving this phase and taking good opportunity of purchasing good fractions of Bitcoin in a low amount. Loving the DIP will motivate us to increase our portfolio, which generates more profits during the bull season.
There seem to be more bear periods than bull period so without patience i don’t think an investor can survive for long in the industry. All investors cannot escape the dip and just as you said all investors need to prepare their minds for dips and price crashes along the way and without patience they cannot survive the dip and they will panic and sell off their assets.

It will be difficult to love the dip because of the challenges people face during that period, no one wants to lose money so no one will love losing money. This period actually get some people traumatized the fear of losing money affects the well being of some people and some are even forced to sell, i no think say dem fit love dip but at least they fit just prepare their mind say dem go experience am and they need ready their mind say dem go Hold no matter the outcome.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 20, 2024, 08:56:05 PM
I agree with you, Chelsea seems to have no clear management measures. Seen in the last few seasons, when Boehly spent quite a lot of money all that happened was chaos in choosing players to bring to Stamford Bridge. I think it's useless for Chelsea to have quite a lot of money but almost all the players bought do not meet expectations. Boehly should also evaluate the management's performance as a whole for Chelsea's existence.
From what i can see i think Todd Boehly is trying to restructure Chelsea and we all know that is not an easy thing to accomplish. The players bought are all talents from my observation but they still lack the perfect manager to bring out the best in them as a team. Todd Boehly doesn’t pick money from the ground so i think he knows what he is doing and definitely he would have a proper finance management, i think what he is doing is investing and in a few years he should profit from the investment.

Finally, Chelsea has reached a deal with ATM  on the signing of Joao Felix on a six years contract with a 12 months optional addition. I think this is no bad signing, at this time Chelsea really need a striker with a goal scoring capacity. I am suspecting that there loss to Manchester City yesterday must have fast tracked this deal. But the question now is that, does this cancels Chelsea's further interest on Victor Osimhen of Napoli whose future has been that of contention between Chelsea and PSG.
Of course Felix is not a bad signing he’s got lots of potential and it is good that he finally agrees to join Chelsea to stop all his loan moves but i don’t think Felix is a striker and i don’t think Chelsea intends to use him as a striker so they are still much interested in signing Osimhen or another striker.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 20, 2024, 08:21:37 PM
When you play against a side that hasn't tasted Serie A action for 21 years, you can't say Juventus tried. It's like they were expected to thrash them more than the two goals that was recorded and although they had one of their goal chopped off, I won't call their performance stellar, unlike the way Atalanta walloped Lecce. If you had seen the game you'd know notice Juventus struggling to get their acts right. Severally, Cesc Fabregas' side had the opportunity to punish Juvefor their mistakes but they too couldn't be relied on.
The most important thing is to win and get all three points and not the number of goals scored. The players even went on to celebrate the win by walking to the fans to appreciate their support so you should know how much this win means to them.

The way Juventus played now is a bit different, you might be right about their performance not being stellar but they are not so bad, they might struggle against tougher opponents but the result is all that matters right now. Just because a team newly got promoted to higher division would mean they would concede a lot of goals to other teams.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: August 20, 2024, 07:50:22 PM
It would be foolish to expect a better performance from Chelsea. Maybe the team's performance will stabilize a bit. But I don't think Chelsea deserve to be in the top four of the points table at the moment. This club has a lot of internal problems. The management of the club is not experienced and this is their first weakness.
Your opinion looks somewhat reasonable but you should understand that nothing is impossible, Pochettino almost made top 4 last season despite that being his first season with the team. They are quite inexperienced both the players and the coach but they have a lot of talented players that can easily be groomed to stars if the coach does his part well.

I don’t see them having internal issues i just know that the owners have the problem of patience, they are not patient enough to give managers time. If they can give Enzo Maresca time to build his team I believe he is destined for greatness.

I think there will be many people who bet on Real Madrid. Unfortunately, these people lost their bets in the first week. When Real Madrid scored in the early minutes, I thought they would score 2-3 more goals, but I was wrong and they had to settle for a draw with Mallorca's goal. It may be one of the worst games of the year for Real Madrid, but since it was the first game, it can be compensated.
A lot of people did and they got their heart broken, no one expected a draw from Madrid against Mallorca on their first game especially not after being the first team to score. We all expected to see alot of goals in this game because of the early goal and seeing that Rodygo scored first i expected to see Mbappe on the score sheet as well.

A lot of people complain bitterly that Madrid  spoiled their bet. Madrid will come back stronger in their next game i believe they won’t disappoint us next time.

They actually played well but Mallorca switched to a defensive strategy after they equalized making it difficult for Madrid to penetrate their defense so i don’t think Madrid performed poorly.
