I think that the coaches who have played as attackers in their football career tend to be a bit better than other coaches who have played a different role.Also Albania qualified first defying all the odds when the group were announced there were Czech Republic and Poland so nobody thought they would be first,the coach was Sylvinho a winger that most played in attack rather than his role of defense and he like Montella had a great success in these qualifiers by making history.

Italian coaches are great as they come from Serie A which is a very tactical league to play in so they know a couple more things to apply to their strategy.

But Italy has always been famous for its good defense, strong goalkeepers and it seems that this tactic has not shown itself very well in recent years, since pressing, attacking football has an advantage, it seems to me that Guardiola can be a good example of this. But sometimes defensive tactics also bring results, representatives of such football are Simione and Mourinier, although they achieve titles less often, it still happens from time to time. So I agree with you, attacking football now brings better results.

I will again take an example from Albania,first time when they qualified for the Euros in 2016 the coach was an Italian guy,Gianni De Biasi and I don't know what role he had as a player but he strongly played in defense and counter attacks which made the qualification and as second in the group with a very much controversial way of playing,it turned out in the Euro it was a bad move and they lost 2 games out of three.

Now with Sylvinho Albania against Poland has scored one of the most beautiful goals of all the qualifiers,you can watch on Youtube or on Euro2024 Instagram page and this is something they never did before,scoring beautiful goals and leading the group.

At a time when the competition was very difficult in Group F, AC Milan actually had to lose an important player in their team due to injury, of course this would be quite a big loss, as we all know currently the AC Milan team is inconsistent, which means the squad in their team is not yet qualified and It is almost certain that there are no players who are ready to maintain the team's performance if player rotation occurs.

I think AC Milan's percentage of qualifying from the group is now getting smaller, the competition in Group F is very fierce with teams that have good quality such as PSG, Newcastle and Dortmund.
AC Milan is a team full of experience in the Champions League which allows them to make a comeback by winning 2 wins in the remaining two matches. I think they will try to take advantage of their chances to qualify for the round of 16. When AC Milan was able to beat Psg, I was very confident that Pioli men would perform impressively in the two second leg matches. For this reason, AC Milan must try their best to get 3 points. Yes, bad news hit them where several important players in their squad had to be absent when AC Milan faced Dortmund.

I think Giroud will be the main focus for AC Milan in the match against Dortmund because two players as his tandem on the front line were absent due to injury. Like Pulisic and Leoa, both of whom will miss this important match due to injury. However, a big advantage could be in favor of Ac milan because they are playing at home where they can focus on playing better to be able to secure 3 points.
For Ac Milan to come from behind and beat Paris Saint-German in their last encounter in the Uefa Champions League means they are serious about reaching the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League. Ac Milan's next match is at home against Borussia Dortmund, and I see Ac Milan taking the three points at home against Borussia Dortmund because it is not easy traveling to Italy to take a point against a club like Ac Milan and they have experience of the Uefa Champions League.
These things do not always happen as expected. For example, Newcastle United lost 3 points to Dortmund in England. Milan are not in form and have dropped points in their last matches. Dortmund can get a point from them. If Milan cannot win this match, their situation will be very bad in the group. That's why they must win this match no matter what.
I agree with you that Newcastle United lost three points against Borussia Dortmund both home and away, that is because Newcastle United players lack Uefa Champions League experience. Even though Ac Milan is not in form in the Italy Serie a and dropped points in their last league game, they can still win their match against Borussia Dortmund because the Uefa Champions League has a different spirit of play, and Ac Milan can use home advantage to beat Borussia Dortmund.

Newcastle lost both games against Dortmund but the problem was at their home game where a super heavy rain impacted their performance,and even so they had more than 8-9 clamorous chances to score which they missed and I made a comparison at that time by saying if you wanna see bad luck in person it was the second half of that game for Newcastle.

At Dortmund was another story they did not show anything and they deserve to lose that game,now they will be having a super hard time even to get the third place let alone qualifying.

Wales didn't manage to beat Turkey and game ended 1:1. On the other hand, Crotia managed to defeat Armenia with one goal and came out of the group as the 2nd. Thus, Croatia and Turkey qualified to participate in the EURO 2024 European Cup. So Turkey secured 2nd pot. Croatia secured 3nd pot. Türkiye finished the group qualifiers at the top for the first time.
When the groups were announced, my guess was that we would finish second at best (Türkiye). However, I was surprised and we finished top of the group. After the unsuccessful performance in the Nations League, I did not expect this good performance in the European Cup qualifiers. Montella had 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches with Turkey. He added a new atmosphere to the team and brought new players onto the field without fear. I think he can make great decisions and I believe he can be more successful in Turkey.

I think that the coaches who have played as attackers in their football career tend to be a bit better than other coaches who have played a different role.Also Albania qualified first defying all the odds when the group were announced there were Czech Republic and Poland so nobody thought they would be first,the coach was Sylvinho a winger that most played in attack rather than his role of defense and he like Montella had a great success in these qualifiers by making history.

We are getting very close to the end of the season day by day. When it comes to the pool I can see that there is still a fierce competition for the championship as well. I wish I was also a part of it but I couldn't have a good run at the beginning and now it is too late.  Sad  If my podium came true in Las Vegas Grand Prix it would have really been helpful for me to rise quite much.

Anyways returning to the final race of the season on Abu Dhabi track we could still watch another enjoyable race. For example there is an amazing competition for 2nd place in constructor standings. Ferrari have closed up the gap with Mercedes a lot after Las Vegas and it is only 4 points now. I would expect all the drivers of these teams to do their best for finishing ahead.

It was still fun, but don't forget there is a potential to still win a big prize with the final prediction contest. The more people participate the bigger the prize, so lets all make picks!

My only chance of top 3 is to get yellow cap, because of huge gap with MoSala so maybe this is the time to risk it all Smiley

Yeah the final prediction contest of the season looks really awesome. The great prize is waiting to be taken and there are already near 30 predictions under the topic as well.  Grin

When it comes to taking risks I have also been trying to do so for a while. It is really difficult to change some picks but there is nothing else to do if we are desperate to do it. For example I tried Perez - Verstappen - Leclerc podium for the last race but Perez couldn't find a better pace in the last laps unfortunately.  Sad

People below the 8th place have two choices in the final race,they can try and go for the most likely prediction in order to try and be in the prize spots as the last prize spot if I am not mistaken is the 12th place.If they are not happy with these prize spots they can choose to risk it all by going with some huge surprise choices in order to have a go at making or breaking it.

Personally I suggest anyone to stick to their most likely choices and to not do alternative choices if they are in the prize spots,a prize is still a prize whatever it maybe.

For the last race I have shouted at that mediocre driver Perez as I had Verstappen Perez Leclerc and I would have gotten another 2 points which would have made me fight for the podium of prizes here.
1525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in psychic betting? on: November 22, 2023, 06:19:10 PM
Psychic betting is placing bets based on the prediction of individuals or even animals because of the belief that they possess supernatural power to accurately determine the outcome of a bet. There is the true story of Fatih Ozcan[1] who help his boss Hayati Kucukkoylu to win a $1.7 million lottery through the power of dreams. He claimed that he received the revelation about the Euro Millions tickets from his dreams. There is also Paul the Psychic Octopus [2] who is known to predict international football games correctly. He even predicted correctly that Spain will win the  2010 FIFA World Cup.

[1] https://www.ajc.com/news/national/psychic-waiter-awarded-half-lottery-winner-winnings/D6V2ohNGiINtoQAm4qgfXL/

[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus

For such lotteries to win them I think there is no psychic involved,if that is decided by God and is written down for you that you will win that huge amount you are going to win that huge amount.Most people are intrigued by such wishful thinking as that is what it is for me and they relate their dreams to such happening.I do not believe in the power of the dreams (Honda does as they have it as a slogan) and I think dreams are our sub conscience which tell us in this case to play exactly those number.Also the Octopus was famous in World Cup but I don't think it needed that much choice,usually strange enough he was picking favorites.

If you ask me I believe half of the clubs in every big league is guilty and could be charged with something with exception of Bundesliga maybe. Seems like Germans learned their lesson and now have the league and clubs on healthy foundations.

For sure. Big, small, all guilty, the bigger and closer to top, the more guilty.

But don't be too sure about Bundesliga. I agree they have best system, but they have their own problems. They also have no salary cap now, and it is the club management that can be controlled, great but it's npt a guarantee of good management.

Barca for example is very good democratic club ownership but... it still allowed huge financial scandals.

The FA can be found guilty of many many things but why should we care as it doesn't concern us,we love football and they have the best league on the world where everybody agrees they have the most beautiful football played.

They can have their problems and I am not going to think that just because these people aren't the most honest and with integrity persons to not watch this league,I will always watch this league whatever happens,for those problems there are the law enforcement agencies that have to deal with them.

I know most people love soccer and I also do love it when my national team is playing,while for soccer clubs I am not that much of a fan except during some fancy weekend games.That is the majority though who love soccer and it is a great sport,one of the best also for me,however personally I am a fanatic of F1 as my most preferred sport,it shows skill,perseverance,imagination,super fast thinking and many more and compared to soccer it is an individual sport that is why I love it more,I just am not the type that fancy collective attacking or defending.

Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? If yes, what had been your strategy ? Do you diversify to multiple games in order to ensure that end result is always profit ?

I personally feel that there are very less chances of making a steady income with gambling. In fact, if you win a big amount in gambling, from there on , you should play games with less on stake and keep the winnings invested in some good option like crypto. It is important to have self control to end profitably with gambling ventures online. Do you agree with this ?

In theory that is what everybody should do,however since this topic has been brought up many times it means that human greed is much more prevalent than it is the human logic,that is in our DNA so we cannot do anything about it.It is exactly this greed that keeps us coming back,yesterday I was lucky to hit to huge multipliers within the same hour one x8000 and one x6000 in Fish Eye slot yet I withdrew the profit and I still want to play today with the remaining amount,the logic says today is going to be a bad day as you cannot win always yet my greed tells me to try again to hit those huge multipliers.
1529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 21, 2023, 03:08:56 PM
Actually, I think the European league is the second priority for Liverpool. Because the Premier League is the best league in the world and they will have to be more careful as they will play against teams that are tougher than the European league. If they care about the European league, they are almost guaranteed to win the championship with great victories.
A team as big as Liverpool should be able to make these two competitions run side by side with the same target, the Europa League and the Premier League are equally fierce and competitive, in the Premier League as we know there are many strong teams in the competition for the title as well as in the Europa League which is quite The competition is tight, but with the strength that Liverpool has, they should be able to prioritize both even though it is difficult to become champions in the Premier and Europa League.

In theory yes,Liverpool should be able to go much further in the Europa League considering that at least 85% of the teams there compared to players of Liverpool are much weaker than them.This should have a softer impact on Liverpool  as it is a much lighter league in terms of performing compared to the Premier League.This way I think Liverpool can even do well here in the Europa League not with their best starting eleven which I believe should be used much more in the Premier League which is wide open this season,overall though yeah a team like Liverpool can do pretty well by fighting in both leagues.
1530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 21, 2023, 02:22:55 PM
Juventus will have home advantage for this match and they will stand firm to win this match because they are looking for way to overtake Inter Milan to top the Seria A table because they are hoping to win the League since they are not playing in any European competition this season; if they win this match, they will have the chance of winning the League that is if their are able to sign more players in the January transfer window.
Yes, it's true that the only way to increase your confidence in chasing the Italian league title this season is just to beat Intermilan and get full points in this week's match. I know it's not easy against Intermilan because they also have the best players who can make it difficult for Juventus to win. can get full points in this week's match, this is an interesting match to watch because both of them will be at the top of the standings.

I can't predict the winning result for both of them, because in my opinion both of them are equally strong in wanting to win, even though Juventus is the favorite because they are playing at home as hosts, they still can't easily penetrate Inter Milan's defense line, my prediction is that the result will be a draw even though Juventus wins. with a score of 1 - 0 or 1 - 1

A couple of years ago in which Inter lost the Serie A in the last rounds is exactly because of losing to Juventus 0-1 and even at that time Juventus was not in the best of their performances,even so they managed to win that game so anything can happen in this upcoming game too.Inter though should be very careful this time and try to neutralize Juventus in the early stages of the game or if they delay to score the first goal things most likely will get pretty complicated and the game then can go either way.One win against Juventus though would consolidate their lead as the other teams like Milan,Roma,Lazio have made many errors so far.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 21, 2023, 01:53:07 PM
I have already said my view but I want to summarize it in a much better way.If you have luck by your side,skill is definitely not needed at all,as long as luck is by your side you are guaranteed to keep consistent profit over the long term and it is exactly when luck runs out that everything starts to grey out and become darker and darker without it.Based on this I would say definitely at 100% being sure that luck is much more relevant not only on luck relying games like slot machines but also in sport betting or poker where skill is involved.You can be as skillful as you want to find good matches to bet on,it only takes a referee to ruin them all for you.

I would not give the penalty. There is some minor contact, but Mudryk's really pushing for it to be given and is throwing himself unnaturally.
I'm not saying it isn't, I've seen them given for less, it's just my opinion that it's too soft.

What bothers me though is that they didn't even check VAR. OK, the referee is close, he's got a good view, but it's a moment of huge significance - at least go and see - make sure you've made the right call.

I also agree that VAR needs a lot of tweaks and upgrades,they have to add a lot of rules as to when the VAR should be called out no matter how close the referee is,I have seen referees though totally bypassing it even when it was flagrant and they have gone to see the review,they kept their idea which was obviously totally wrong,some strong punishment should be also added to the rules for such individuals who ruin the games of many teams and consequently even a lot of bets,most probably the FIFA/UEFA does not care much about this last thing but for me is of utmost importance.
1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your own casino. on: November 21, 2023, 09:15:51 AM
A sort of dreaming to have running casino registered under my name since imagine that you could potentially earn a lot of money for running a global business like this. But when waking up on reality I say I don't have enough money to launch the whole operation sin e it cause a lot of money to make a casino successful. Since if we just create a casino without doing anything for sure those gamblers would provably go with other casino which can give them better offers and launch a lot of marketing.
Own your own casino? I hope that when I do, it doesn't show that I own the casino. Preferring to stay behind the scenes and let others not know about it. But do you mean an online or offline casino? Here I would prefer to have an online casino that operates widely, maybe the rules are not much different from the casino I use such as only accepting crypto payments. Using fiat is definitely not a good option amid high casino taxes and most countries consider it Illegal.

Just wondering how much does it cost to build an online casino, such as hiring developers, promoters, etc well never thought of this business before. This business is definitely very lucrative, especially since you can become famous and sponsor big events or sponsor soccer clubs.
I would imagine that at minimum a few millions of dollars are needed to create your own casino as not only the expenses are huge but the need for capital is also very high, as a casino needs to have money to pay their clients in the case they win, and if the capital they destined towards this was too small they will have to either offer very low maximum limits to their clients or increase their risk of bankruptcy above zero, and neither of those two options seem appealing to me.

That is true and people who own a casino knows that is true and also they know that even if people win big and they start by losing million of dollars to pay their customers,after that more million dollars will come flowing to them to make the business create huge residual income for the owners.People who want to start a casino having only small capital usually don't end well,with scamming or going bankrupt and not being able to pay their customers,so in order to own your own casino you have to have a huge initial budget.

And this will be the last one of the season.

They will race in Abu-Dhabi

I doubt we will see anything different from this track,we remember 2021 in here where it was a phenomenal race that saw Verstappen get that very much contested title,I think though now things are different and I doubt Ferrari or Mercedes would fight to stop Redbull and Verstappen dominance of this year.

Most likely it will be a boring race unless some Safety Car comes in and changes things dramatically but even so this season has been extremely boring and it shows by the statistics,20 races won by Redbull.

Yeah it's penalty. That's clean. The referee was blind. The referee is clear having an agenda to rob ukraine from beating italy to be qualified for euro 2024. I will not believe if there was no agenda owned by UEFA as said but aleksander ceferin on his statement called a disaster if italy won't qualify for the euro 2024. Ukrainee deserves a penalty. Mudryk has been doing so much for his club.

Anyway, Italy has now qualified for the main tournament, and with 14 point Ukraine has a good chance of qualifying through the playoffs. It would have been a big upset if Italy had failed to qualify, because they are the defending champions. We need to note down the fighting performance from Ukraine. Despite being placed in a very tough group along with England and Italy, they almost managed to qualify through the direct route. BTW, did anyone watched the North Macedonia vs England match? England were held to 1-1 draw by North Macedonia.

That match together with Albania were the biggest surprise results of the night.I know that these games were not relevant as both teams had already qualified but especially for England which has been playing a super beautiful football to be stopped by a draw from a much weaker team is truly the biggest surprise of the night.

We already have 20 teams qualified for the Euro and I think we are waiting 4 others through the play offs to make the 24 teams event as always or maybe we wait more through play offs as I am not sure of the format that they will be using this upcoming Euro tournament.

There is only 1 race left for the season to be completed. I would like to thank Sportsbet.io and Steve once again who sponsored the pool this season as well just as they did last season. I want to send the prizes of the people who earn the right to take a prize very quickly. Therefore you can send your Bitcoin addresses to the topic or you can PM me.

I think I will once again finish in the prize spots but I really hope to conserve that 5th place as a minimum as I am already ahead 2.5 points from 6th place and 2.5 points is a lot to lose here if we take into account that most people will pick the same drivers for the top ten,I personally am going for the top 10 I have usually placed most of the races in this final race also,the others below me need to make alternative predictions if they want to by pass me and also 4th and 3rd which are just 1 point more than me,so I will play it safe for the next weekend and hope for the best.

It is party time here where I live and work from some years now,in Albania,the roads are closed since 15.00 PM and every body is preparing to watch the last game as we think it will be a festival of goals and I am thinking of betting enough money on that Over 3.5 goals which has a super great odd so far up until now.

I know everybody will try to score in this game,everyone who will play is going to shoot from everywhere as most likely everybody want to score goals tonight,I think it is a good option to bet on those Over 3.5 goals odds.In fact the odd has even increased from 2.70 to 3.25 now,I don't know what the bookies think but in here it is already party atmosphere.

well over 3.5 I think it's a bit of a gamble, it's true that Faroerne are last in the standings but looking at the statistics they have conceded 13 goals in 7 games that is less than 2 goals on average per game and only 2 goals scored in 7 games! that's why the bookmakers give it as an underdog, over 3.5 it could be unlikely that it will come true but I hope so if you have bet on this match

I have come to this conclusion because of the above and of course when we played away at Faroe we scored 3 there and missing many other goals scoring opportunities,I doubt the same will happen here tonight which most likely they will play much more calmly than there and as such most likely they will score goals.

Of course the bookies think that they will not take this game seriously as they are already qualified as I see no other reason why it is like that for Over 3.5 goals,while for fun I placed a fun bet Albania total Over 4.5 total at 9.20 odd.
