Madrid starting line up against Real Betis



source

Carlo Ancelotti starting XI is fire just take a look at Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and Vinicius Jnr hope they are not planning to do Real betis similar thing that Girona did to Granada and Almeria to Cadiz because with this players he featured to start against Real betis, they may be looking forward to ending the season in a perfect and remarkable manner. Aurélien Tchouaméni absence doesn't even mean anything to the squad and Camavinga is also a good replacement and with what am seeing Real Madrid can even start winning from first half till full-time. I like the fact that Carlo Ancelotti didn't reserve any of the notable players for the UCL finals against Dortmund.

Well hooooly cow, nobody expected this at all! United finished the season with FA cup, and they had one of the worst seasons they ever had this year, finishing the year with FA cup on a year that you considered terrible is beyond bonkers. I really assumed that City would be mad after UCL and would win this easily with a big margin. I really really did not see this coming, nobody did, a ton of people lost money on this bet for sure, it snot going to be that easy for people, but I am sure that bookies must be loving this lol. Think about all the money that was put to City to win, I am sure that billions were made just today from this game easily Cheesy Sometimes we just get unlucky, it happens.
Sincerely speaking, even as a united supporter i didn't see this coming. Though I understand Manchester united will try to prove a point because the world is watching, but not to this extent. Wan-Bissaka did a fantastic job with the close marking of Doku to a point he had to switch to the the right wing, though Doku still managed to score at the die minute. This victory has secured them a play in Europe for next season.  Onana was really disappointing for allowing that goal, he handled the ball with kids gloves, because ordinarily that ball wasn't supposed to enter the back of the net.
For people that we are betting for city to win and have lost good money, at least they would have considered that this is an FA cup final, it's not an ordinary game, is a game that have something at stake so anything can happen.
Manchester United really did a great job today and secured a place in the European competitions next season just like you said no one saw this coming at all and surprises of this kind is what we need in a competition, looks like these finals are full of surprises this season because few days ago Bayern Leverkusen that was much anticipated to win Europa league lost to Atalanta and today Manchester city that majority of football fans thought they will win including me but they lost the cup to Manchester United and granted them the opportunity to appear in European competition next season. Onana have been one of the major reasons why Manchester United loses in some matches because that goal was total incompetence and lack of experience from the goal keeper however, kudos to the Manchester United team mates for holding on to the 2 goals scored in the first half till full time even though Onana's carelessness caused them to concede a goal but they really did great work in this match and I commend Ten Haag coaching skills in this finals today.
Basically, majority of football gamblers will lose their bets because they will certainly bet on Manchester city to win.

FA CUP FINAL

MANCHESTER CITY VS MANCHESTER UNITED


Manchester City StartXI: 4-2-3-1

Stefan Ortega; Kyle Walker; John Stones; Nathan Aké; Joško Gvardiol; Rodri; Mateo Kovačić; Bernardo Silva; Kevin De Bruyne; Phil Foden; Erling Haaland

Manchester United StartXI: 4-2-2-2

André Onana; Aaron Wan-Bissaka; Raphaël Varane; Lisandro Martínez; Diogo Dalot; Kobbie Mainoo; Sofyan Amrabat; Alejandro Garnacho; Marcus Rashford; Scott McTominay; Bruno Fernandes


Here we are talking about final and i don't see Manchester City losing any chances of winning this trophy and again this is Erik Ten Hag last match which he will like to prove himself, who is going to win at WEMBLEY for today's game, Manchester city are in high performance which have won Manchester United three times in their previous matches.
Without a double thought Manchester city will seal the F.A cup and add to their premier league trophy because if not that Manchester city were unfortunate to meet Real Madrid in the Champions league quarter finals, City would have made a treble this season but that not withstanding, two trophy will not be bad for them in this season so Pep Guardiola will have this one. Manchester United needs to either reshuffle the team next season or they sack Eric Ten Haag if not they will still continue to underperform. Manchester city formation looks more solidify than that of Manchester united because their formation is centered more in the midfield. Let's see how it goes as the match is already underway

I have noticed an usual trends lately in the discussions board most especially Bitcoin discussion, gambling discussion etc, members rush to make a short comment just to reserve the first spot on the page, and after a while coming to edit it with the full text, this make no sense to me, and no signature campaign demands that you must be first to comment at least none that I know.
It's not for signature campaign requirement but for merit IMO. There are few members who always likes to engage in discussion before anyone else so that their contents are visible to the most visitors and they can increase their chances to receive merit. You can always read their post later when you revisit the topic. I do not see anything wrong about it.
Even if some users engage in this practice just for their replies to be visible and possibly gain merit, isn't it when the reply is of good quality and give a relevant information or answer to the OP and must it be every quality posts or replies that must attract merits. IMO it's just a childish act because each boards have moderators and they settle down to read each replies of every users and can come across a good post that deserves merit and awards it even at the last page. It is very bad that most users don't even read other people's replies before they include their own if not someone with generous heart even if they are not merit sources can come across quality posts and awards merit to it if they have SMerits.

For sure there's nothing wrong in making a post and editing it later to give a complete context but it is not a good practice IMO except if it is the OP that reserves it for later or future update

Girona is smashing Granada by 7 goals to Nil.

Really smashing, Girona has been angered this night and they have used Granada to say goodbye to the season till next season, Granada have become a sacrificial lamb for Girona this night and Girona is taking advantage of every goal scoring opportunities they have and this will be the highest winning for the week because I don't see any other team that can win their opponents with this kind of huge goal margin so Girona should just rest and prepare for next season because they have got a lot of engagement in the upcoming seasons
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are confident with your picks, do you win most of the time? on: May 24, 2024, 08:47:55 PM
It depends on the type of bet you choose to play like if it involves accumulated matches or just a single match but most gamblers do complain that picking familiar options for a bet doesn't work most of the time like for instance predicting a team that is on winning streak to keep winning doesn't go as predicted because the day you will choose them to win with confidence that they have always been winning is the day they will either lose or draw but since gambling is more of luck it does not matter if you use familiar options for an event but if you are just lucky to pick correctly you can win.

149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in match fixing? on: May 24, 2024, 10:42:37 AM
Even some players are sometimes suspected to have been part of a match fixing just like in the match between Tottenham and Manchester city when Son Heung-min was one on one with Manchester City's goal keeper Ederson but he played the ball directly to the goal keeper and after the match, Pep Guardiola went to shake him and people were wondering if the match was fixed to favour Manchester city. So let's deliberate on this
This is just a speculation that would have been started by Arsenal supporters, or others who in support of Arsenal to win the premier league and were depending on Tottenham to help them out.  
Son was under pressure in that game, missing was very possible, plus the Manchester City goalkeeper who came into the game did very well.

There is match fixing, But I do not think that it will be in the big leagues like the premier league.
This has nothing to do with being a fan of Arsenal because I love English football more especially England teams and I always support a consistent team and as we all saw that Manchester city and Arsenal were major competitors in the premier league. Just like someone here said, the inability of Son to score Manchester city was a total case of tension and not a deliberate act but you know sport analysts, fans and spectators will always read meaning in a match differently not only in the match between Tottenham and Manchester city as there were also some past matches that people also thought of either favouritism or a case of match fixing.

I believe everything is possible and match fixing isn't an exception or something to writeoff from it , especially base on the fact that it involves money, there is always going to be a manipulation of the system somehow to try to make things work in the favor of the fixers, but how they organise or do it and it work m out if at all there's match fixing, this is a question that needs an answer, if someone has an idea of how it is done

I doubt if anyone can say about how match fixing works because before you say such you must have various evidence to support your claims and again you will also need to identify the match fixers of which no one will agree to match fixing because they will have a lot of questions to answer.
150  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / What is the true existence of luck. on: May 24, 2024, 10:14:36 AM
Some people are said to be lucky such that they become so prosperous and successful in any business or investments they engage in but others finds it difficult to do well even when they are doing same business or investments. There are people that comes into your life as friends or a partner and things will become so tough and rough for you and there are also people that comes to you and you Start experiencing prosperity and progress in every ramifications of life so is there really something like people with bad luck and people with good luck and those people that we see as unfortunate ones in our society, is it that they created this misfortune themselves because of their commitments, lack of plans and bad behaviours or they were born with it?
151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: May 24, 2024, 02:26:46 AM
So yes, it is a road to $100k and hopefully, we can takes the biggest profit later which can gives a lot of money to us.

Hopefully with those kinds of ideas of "taking BIG profits," you do not end up selling too many BTC too soon.

If course, you have been registered on the forum for nearly 9 years, so you may well have had a sufficient amount of time to accumulate enough BTC that you are pretty much able to shave off some BTC profits at any time that you would like... and such a condition might not really be very common with folks who have not been in BTC more than a whole cycle (at least).  

He sounds more like someone that has a short term targets because if Bitcoin reaches $100k now, it is enough to sell off? Hell no! though it is dependent on how long he has been able to accumulate and at what price did he started accumulating? And talking about taking big profits even sound like someone who would end up selling all his Bitcoin with the belief that the price will dip and he rebuys again which is a very wrong approach to Bitcoin investment.

Some people have even stayed more than a decade in this forum but were not able to make accumulations as all they do is give on excuses or another, imagine someone who registered in this forum now and in 9 years time you come up with regrets that you made no accumulations, maybe such person wants to swim in poverty because 9 years from now is about 2 halvings and we are aware of how the price of Bitcoin have been moving in each halvings so it will be cowardice to tell people you didn't own a Bitcoin in your portfolio after 9 good years.
Basically, anyone who have made accumulations in the past 9 years must have made lots of profits and can decide to take off part of his Bitcoins or can still decide to hold till next cycle so far as he can endure till then.

154  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tradding Vs Saving, which is the safest way to build crypto holdings on: May 23, 2024, 09:13:46 PM
Two things dey involved here which are Bitcoin and altcoins. I don't see a point in trading Bitcoin. Wetin we suppose to dey do na to dey accumulate am then we hodl am because history dun show say na hodlers dey benefit pass for this industry. When trading you fit lose your Bitcoin irrespective of how careful wey you dey think say you dey. The lost fit come from not using a stop loss, wrongly timing the market or hack because when you dey trade obviously you dey exposed your Bitcoin to many risk on the exchange and if we're being honest, many traders dey use centralized exchanges for our trading (which isn't that bad) but they exchange no get any better security wey go for stop hackers from stealing your Bitcoin and the best they can do is a compensation while others exit scam without remorse.

Wetin you talk na true because no be say we dey discourage people to trade o but Bitcoin too get value for person to come dey go trade am with other altcoins naim be why Dem dey advice us for forum here say make we dey buy and hodl. Normally we know say cryptocurrency dey volatile well well and the volatility naim be wetin they cause fluctuations in their prices for market so any body wey fit bear loss for trading fit still trade but make him no too depend on trading because person wey dey trade and person wey dey gamble almost dey the same because you fit lose the profits wey you make within a twinkle of eye while trading. Normally, traders themselves no say risk follow to they keep their assets for centralized exchanges but if na me be them if I trade come make profits na just to carry am buy Bitcoin hold am for non custodial wallets instead of to leave am for centralized exchanges.
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Do you believe in match fixing? on: May 23, 2024, 08:43:17 PM
I used to hear people say that most of the matches are being fixed by the football body such that they make sure that the matches play according to how they fixed them to play and the reason why the VAR was introduced was even to help in actualizing the match fixing. How true is this because what will be the benefit of fixing match without any benefits or do the football body do some secret gambling and makes sure it goes in their favour? Even some players are sometimes suspected to have been part of a match fixing just like in the match between Tottenham and Manchester city when Son Heung-min was one on one with Manchester City's goal keeper Ederson but he played the ball directly to the goal keeper and after the match, Pep Guardiola went to shake him and people were wondering if the match was fixed to favour Manchester city.

I prefer sports betting because these are matches that are live and real and whatever be the outcome of the match that is what it is but in casino games I feel the games are being manipulated more especially when they are experiencing numerous winning because they are the ones that programmed them and it is mostly in their favour because no matter how you win in a casino game as soon as you keep on playing again after a win you might end up losing everything.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 23, 2024, 08:00:30 PM
I was always one of the guys here who dont fully back Bayern Leverkusen in this tournament, in the last time i start to back them a litle bit more because they were showing a unique habilty to scape from every dificult situation, but also yesterday in this thread i said, for me it was super high odds 4.33 for Atalanta to win, and you see Atalanta oblited LEverkusen with a Lookman out of this world yesterday.

If you're confident that Atalanta will win, then it would be great if you bet on Atalanta in that final match yesterday. But, if you're just predicting it without betting, then at least you'll probably still regret it as well because you missed out on a very good chance to make money on your bet in such an exciting match. Although, I am a person who fully supports Bayer Leverkusen to win and obviously,  I also still choose Bayer Leverkusen to win in my bets. But unfortunately, Bayer Leverkusen was completely destroyed in the final because Bayer Leverkusen lost 3-0 but even so, I also still chose another option and sure enough, even though I only chose the over 2.5 goals option, but I still got my bet.


I doubt if he was so confident that Atalanta will win because when you think about Bayern Leverkusen unbeaten run everyone was just feeling they will maintain it that way in the Europa league finals so when Atalanta scored two goals before halftime, people were astonished and were even thinking Leverkusen will equalize in the second half like people believed in the ability of Leverkusen but when the third goal was scored everywhere was quiet because the time was late already.

Your choice of placing a bet using that option of over 2.5 is good because had it been you used because you supported Bayern Leverkusen and bet on them to win you would have lost the bet so you choosed a nice option there.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: May 23, 2024, 07:40:54 PM
So far as gambling is being regulated by the government and operators are paying taxes, just like any other normal businesses gambling can't be stopped or restricted because it is a form of business even though the possibility of winning is lesser but gambling is a game of choice as no one is being forced into gambling so anyone who cannot take responsibility of their gambling habits is either immature or lack the sense of belonging to know between how they can manage their gambling lifestyle and how not to get too addicted to gambling which leads to some emotional and psychological damages to human behaviour so before anyone enters into gambling they should be able to have self control and not allow the gambling to control them.
159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is more than a currency or security, it's scarcity. on: May 22, 2024, 11:59:30 PM


Money needs to be scarce to preserve its value and Bitcoin is scarce therefore the future of money has to be Bitcoin and this is one of the best chances we have to accumulate it before it becomes more scarce.
Basically we all know that Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 million Bitcoins and 19 millions have been mined already so as the remaining 2 million Bitcoins is coming closer to being mined that is how Bitcoin will become more scarce and the value will increase and that is what will make Bitcoin get to the moon when the demand will outsmart the supply so what you said is very true because any one who is aware of how scarcity works will know that now is the time to accumulate and keep in your custody before it gets to a point where it will become unaffordable when the price will skyrocket to a crazy ATH.

People talking only about their brighter side of their investments and leaving the ugly and unfortunate side of it is what I will say is maturity because you can't expect people to dwell on a failed investment instead since they were able to move on and conquered it is no longer necessary to deliberate about the previous times they tried and failed. Normally people make wrong decisions at the start of their investments and after some setbacks and losses they tried again in different ways and succeeded so that is the most important thing here.
