My advice, resize your image for good visibility because it closes all my PC worth. Maybe it would be good for sizes like this:
Soon there will be a match between Rayo Vallecano against Real Madrid. In this match Real Madrid still use the main starter because they want to play full and win. Their attacking trio of Valverde, Rodrygo and Vini Junior will continue to be the focus of attack. Real Madrid must win this match if they want to shift Barcelona in first place in the standings.
Real Madrid will stay ahead in this match because I don't think it's difficult match. Playing at full strength makes the chances of victory for Real Madrid very good in my opinion, so it is very possible that Madrid will again claim the top position in the standings from Barcelona. But I would be happy if Barcelona stay on top.
Opponents of Real Madrid is a team that can be said to be ordinary compared to Real Madrid. It should be a match that Real Madrid will win over their current opponent is also nothing special. But they must remain careful because last week they were held to a draw by Girona who are in a worse standing than Rayo Vallecano. Rodrygo is still trusted to fill the front line to replace Benzema, and in midfield there will be rotation because Kroos will miss this match. Now that they are 2 points behind Barcelona who won this week, they must win if they want to return to the top of the table.

Compared to Real Madrid, the Rayo Vallecano team is weak. But Rayo Vallecano is a team that has surprised everyone in the past by performing well even against strong teams. But if we consider the strength of these two teams, it can be undoubtedly said that it will not be difficult for Madrid to get full points in this match. But it's in Vallecano's home match. The players will be more confident at home. So even if they don't win against Madrid, Vallecano players will try their best to draw in this match. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if this match is a 1-1 draw.

I can hardly imagine that this United team is going to win the Europa League. Today they also lost to Aston Villa in the league. Maybe we've been overthinking United's last games. It wasn't very convincing, but at least it got a little better. Too bad they've had a small setback today. But every game is a game in itself. And of course we still have the draw tomorrow. You also need some luck. United are a team that can beat anyone in the league, but for me, Arsenal is the real favorite to win this tournament.

Manchester United is unlikely to be champions of the Europa League. I have never seen United's performances be so strong in the Europa League. United has struggled to win every Europa League match. We haven't seen a match dominated by United against weaker teams.
Moreover, there are strong teams like Barcelona and Arsenal in the Europa League. Compared to these two teams, I consider United to be weaker. United's main weakness is the underperformance of their attacking players. Also their match strategy is not stable. And so I would say either Barcelona or Arsenal has the most chances to win the Europa League title.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 06, 2022, 08:01:30 PM
Manchester united lost to Aston Villa surprisedly today. The first half was entertaining but the red devils failed to convert their chances to goal scoring. The game ended 3-1 with the villans not giving up on anything. Rather it's home game and Villa needed the winning points in other to claim upward on the table. The looks on Erik ten hag is not funny as he's unhappy with the results, but I trust united to bounce back with good winning in their next game before the world cup.
Aston Villa were surprisingly marvelous today, they had a very good performance today dominating and controlling the game in both halves, when Manchester United came out with much pressure I thought Aston Villa would succumb to the pressure and let United get an equalizer but they proved they were not to be underestimated and showed resilience through out the game. A well deserved win today for Emery and Aston Villa and I hope they can continue this way until the World cup break.

I wouldn't say Aston Villa's performance was unexpected. Manchester United's performance has been unstable since the beginning of the season. They cannot consistently perform well. And though they have earned points in a few matches. But I don't think their performance was very good.
Manchester United's performance in today's match was bad. The main reason for the poor performance of the players seems to me to be their tactical weakness. Their match strategy was not good, so the performance of the players was also poor. Ronaldo was in the squad today but he flopped as usual. Ronaldo did not play well. Because Ronaldo's chemistry with team players is not good. So it is difficult for Ronaldo to perform well.

Pique for sure is one of the greats, both for Barcelona and for his national team.
Unfortunately, his performances dropped by a lot and he's been on the bench a lot this season - so this decision makes sense.
He could still play but he's leaving at the right time if you ask me. Busquets would be smart to think about it as well.
Surprised to hear the news that Gerard Pique announced that he would soon retire at the age of 35 to coincide with the last 1 match against Almeria which was his last match. many of his relatives and friends were surprised to hear this because at the age of 35, usually football players will spend their careers in relatively easy leagues such as MLS. but I saw some tweets from the legends of barcelona who judged that barcelona did not really appreciate his services this season because in addition to not getting more playing minutes, pique also had to receive a 2x salary cut from the crisis experienced by barcelona this season.

Yes, I agree. He is a great player, but his age is taking a toll on his performance. So, I think he has made the right decision. Honestly, by staying in Barcelona I don’t think he would’ve done anything good for the club anymore. I really think he has already given everything that he could have to Barcelona. And now it is time for him to end the long-term relationship with this club on good terms.

Sergio Busquets is also someone who is really old and should be thinking of doing something similar to  Piqué.

I used to be an Adesanya fan when he first came in the UFC.  But as time passed along, he became really cringey in interviews and press conferences.  And when it's time to fight his match in the cage, he became a bit boring the last couple matches.  It's prolly for stylistic reasons but still...  He got a bit boring.  But this one vs Pereira could get dicey for him as you guys already know why.  Then again could we see Adesanya add some wrestling in his game?  I think we could see Adesanya do more than a couple of TD's.  Dunno...  I feel like he has to.
Maybe he was always like that and we just didn't know him well before he signed contract with UFC.
He is not boring for me to watch, and some spoiled people are expecting fighters should always perform with KO's like monkeys in circus, it doesn't work like that.
Adesanya always liked to play on safe side to receive smallest amount of punches possible, or he would end up like Diaz brothers with bloody scar faces.
^  LMAO.  It's not that I'm being spoiled and want more action or anything.  I do appreciate the finer parts of the game which I've def seen some people find it boring like the wrestling and the grappling side of MMA.  It's just Adesanya talks big, almost berating his opponents and then when it gets in the cage, nothing...  It was just the last three of his last matches tho.  And the one vs Yoel Romero.

His fights were lack luster as main events in PPV events after his loss vs Błachowicz is all I'm saying.  The main event this Fight Night weekend with Rodriguez vs Lemos could be more of a banger than Adesanya vs Cannonier.

Some vids to watch.

Rodriguez vs Ribas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y6zN4VuEhg

Lemos vs Waterson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQOc715rp_U


Right now, a lot of people are saying that Israel Adesanya has lost his “special touch'' if I might say. Before he was very stylish and it felt like he did everything differently. But now I don’t necessarily think that he has become boring. It’s more like he's not as entertaining as he used to be.

Those people who always want knockout finishes obviously do not know anything about mixed martial arts. They just want some people to hurt others. They don’t even care about the fact that there is actually a skill set needed to do that. I don’t think Israel Adesanya has become boring. And I think he could win against Alex.

Looks like I'm not the only one who expect Warriors to win this game. Cheesy
After leading double digits, they lost by only a point to a team who is also struggling and has a losing streak that has snapped because of this win. Now the Warriors are in a 4-game losing streak and currently at the bottom position.
What could be the possible problem with the Warriors? For me, I think they are experimenting with their younger players. I mean they are developing those young players by giving them more minutes and they will see if it will be beneficial for the team to keep them or to just trade them. I don't know any more reason, but anybody can share their opinions as to why the Warriors started like this.
Overall, I will still pick the Warriors as the team to beat this season and they have a chance to go back-to-back because their core players are still there, and they've added more shooters in Poole and Wiggins. Maybe their defense went down because of GPII being traded but still they are the one of the best teams offensively and we might see it at the mid part till the end of the season and in the playoffs.
And they lost again to the Magic, and it's a hard lost because they have a chance to win in the end, but Klay missed that shot. And despite the effort of Curry to carry the team, they again fell short. They belt a huge lead but the Magic keeps coming back. And then in the 4th, when I thought that everything is lost already, they comeback, tie and even take the lead in the closing minutes.
I agree that their defense has gone down a lot since their second stringers like Gary Payton are no longer there. I think this is their worst start since the Curry lead era.
Magic surprisingly comes back and snatches this game away from GSW. I was thinking that it was a blowout when GSW established
that huge lead after the first half.
But, the really starts when 2nd half starts, it was the Magic patience and determination that keeps them alive and really steps up
to even the game in the last few minutes of the game.
Bad loss for the Warriors. They need to talk this one out and review why they keep losing a huge lead during the last minutes
defense needs to be adjust base from how I assess the system.

This was a very exciting match and a very close match as well. I really thought the Golden State Warriors should have done better as a team because I only saw Stephen Curry playing excellently on this team. He basically carried the whole game for the Warriors. I don’t think the other players actually contributed anything close to what Stephen Curry did.

But on the other hand, the Orlando Magic had a good game overall because almost everyone contributed to the team. It was not a single-man show and that is a big reason why they were able to win this match.

Stephen Curry actually almost got it for his team, but if someone else just helped him a little more, I think the result could have turned the other way.

Australia VS Afghanistan

After winning the toss, the Afghanistan captain decided to field. And the bowlers have been able to perform their duties properly. Australia set a target of just 168 runs in 20 overs. Australia's batting line-up is strong. I thought Australia would give a target of at least 180+. Although Australia started the innings well, their batting in the last 4 overs was very poor. Australia collected only 25 runs in the last 4 overs. At least 40 runs should have been collected in the last 4 overs.

Afghanistan bowlers Farooqi, Naveen, and Rashid Khan performed very well. Due to the responsible bowling of these three bowlers, they were able to restrict Australia to 168 runs. 168 is not a very big target. If Afghanistan's top-order batsmen play well in this match, Afghanistan has a chance to win.
2068  Economy / Economics / Re: 5 things you should not do with your money to get rich on: November 04, 2022, 01:52:17 AM
My advice to shorten the way to becoming rich is not letting money rest. Let money work all the time. Avoid situations when you economize or save money and do nothing with them. Inflation is your main enemy. Choosing cheap instead of quality is also a big no. Quality item or service will last longer give better experience.

But you should always understand, that even following each and every advice from this forum or from anywhere else, wont guaranty that you will get rich. Sometimes doing exactly opposite by that 5 things from first post will make a person rich.

OP's 5 tips as far as I understand he is simply talking about saving and I agree with you that saving does not bring wealth to anyone. If we want to be rich, we have to work non-stop, work while others are sleeping, have to get up every time we fail...and the important thing as you mentioned: use money to make money, don't let it enrich the bank.
OP's 5 tips are also quite useful, whether rich or not, don't waste too much, save or use the money to do useful things for society.

a friend of mine came to me and he asked, is it possible to invest in bitcoin and crypto for the short term,? which is to meet daily needs, and I am confused to answer because I am still a beginner in bitcoin and crypto. and I want to ask everyone about it?

No, Bitcoin is not meant for short-term speculation.  

With a high degree of probability, your friend will not be able to buy a cryptocurrency cheaper, but sell it more expensive.  

Currently, we are seeing a bearish trend in the price movement of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.  In this situation, any purchases can bring a loss (instead of a profit).  

Another thing is if your friend is ready for long-term investments.....

Then the present time is a very good moment to buy the first cryptocurrency.

Day trading is also considered a short-term investment but unfortunately his friends and he are all newbies. They have no knowledge of day trading so they cannot make profits in the short term and day trading is also very risky and not everyone can make a profit from it.

Whether you invest for short term or long term, cryptocurrency investment should not be considered as the main source of daily income for your family as there is no guarantee that you will always be profitable on your investment. Only invest when you have a stable job with enough income for your family and only invest with idle money. Remember that investing is just a side business to earn extra income or save for the future.

Are you watching the matches, Bangladesh have a good bowling line up and it is the best they have in their history and you think that they are not improving in finding quality players. How about the performance of Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman. Development is not an instant process, it takes time grooming a generation of players right from the school days.
Players such as Taskin and Mustafizur have been around for quite some time now. These are experienced players and not rookies. Although they bowled well during the last couple of matches, they have failed to perform consistently. Taskin Ahmed is the same guy who went for 46 runs (from 3 overs) against South Africa. The only player in the XI who perform consistently is Litton Kumer Das. He is gradually becoming the backbone of the team, and has been able to reduce the overdependence on Shakib Al Hasan.
@Sithara007 do you really believe that Bangladesh can revive themselves, because I feel that over the year’s they have failed to reinvent themselves. Furthermore there was a time when they used to cause upsets by beating the favourite team’s, but now days they hardly beat anyone hence it’s a long way for them to reclaim their lost glory.

The problem with Bangladesh cricket team is that they do improve but not at the rate which they should. Bangladesh should have played better in recent times. And I know that Bangladesh is doing decent enough in their T-20 World Cup right now. But @eaLiTy do you really think that this is the finest bowling attack in Bangladesh?

Because I don’t think so. The bowling attack that Bangladesh had in the 2015 World Cup was the most effective in my opinion. But at least they can now depend on their bowling lineup.

@Sithara007, it is true that the Bangladesh cricket board has done a bad job managing the players. Otherwise, I think Bangladesh should have won the last match against India.

Pakistan VS South Africa

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa. But their top order is also broken today. At the end of 10 overs, Pakistan collected only 68 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. Rizwan 4 and Babar Azam got out with just 6 runs off 15 balls. If the target is less than 140, South Africa will win this match unilaterally.

South African players are in very good form now. They have not lost even one of the three matches yet. And the performance of their batsmen is excellent now. And so Pakistan's chances of winning are very slim if they don't give a big target.
Pakistan is batting now, but Pakistan's good batting team could not score good runs in this match. However, in this match, Pakistan's batting team got out with very few runs. Pakistan scored 101 runs in 13.1 overs and lost 5 wickets. Mohammad  Haris he scored very few runs in this match I think. He scored 28 runs off 11 balls. If he could have scored a few more runs it would have been good.
Pakistan is moving towards a bigger collection. They collected 135 runs in 16 overs. Probably they will be able to give more than 170 targets. And so decent enough target to win. Because Pakistan has some very talented bowlers. The way Pakistan started their innings, I thought it would be difficult for them to even score 120 runs. Their collection was only 43 runs in the first 7 overs. And in the next 7 overs they collected 62 runs. Mohammad Haris scored 28 runs off just 11 balls. Iftikhar was unbeaten with 41 runs off 28 balls. And Shadab scored 22 runs off 11 balls. With Shadab and Iftikhar at the crease it will be very easy for Pakistan to collect more than 180.

Pakistan set a huge target of 186. I didn't think Pakistan would be able to deliver such a big target. They could have collected more than 190 if they played well in the last over. Pakistan probably scored 6 runs in the last over. Shadab Khan managed to score 52 runs off just 22 balls. Outstanding performance.

The target is very big though. Even so, it cannot be said that South Africa's chances of victory are less. The performance of South Africa's batsmen has been quite good in the previous matches. I'd say both teams still have a 50-50 chance of winning.

~~~
It is very hard for every cricket board to make even one squad late alone make a different squad for a different format of cricket.

Just look at Bangladesh. They have been playing for so long but still they are not able to make separate teams for separate cricket formats.
~~~~

It is not a problem that is unique with Bangladesh. Teams such as Sri Lanka and West Indies also face the same issue. Nowadays the focus is solely on the T20 format, and we no longer have players who are tailor made for other formats such as Dale Steyn and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. As a result, the boards are being forced to recruit players who are more suitable for T20 format to their ODI and test squads. And in the domestic sector also, now there is not much focus on the 4-day and 50-over formats.

It is true that the only cricket boards that are receiving a great deal of money and making a lot of money, as well as those who are very passionate about improving the team as a whole and are also trying to improve their results in the future, are the ones who are setting up different squads for different formats of the game.

A major problem with most cricket boards around the world is that they are more interested in making money rather than doing what is right for the team as a whole. I am aware that a lot of countries including Bangladesh have a lot of money available to them for the development of cricket boards. Despite this, they are still not doing well in cricket due to the corrupt personnel who are behind the scenes.

Actually Napoli played well against Liverpool. Even from the first half Napoli could continue to keep pace with Liverpool's game. But Napoli off guard in the second half. Napoli in the 80th minute slightly lowered the tempo of their game. and that's the fatal mistake of Napoli. Because Liverpool can see the gap from there and can take advantage of the opportunity so that 2 goals are created. and I think this is the first negligence that Napoli have shown this season in the Champions League. but I'm sure Napoli can learn from those mistakes.And I hope Napoli don't make mistakes like that in Serie A.
Of course Napoli will correct the mistakes they made against Liverpool when they faced Atalanta in the Round 13 of Serie A.
I think FC Napoli will be able to maintain the chances of the Scudetto until the end of the 22/23 season. Their strength until Round 12 is still very good. What Luciano Spalletti has to think about is maintaining teamwork so that there is no conflict between players.

Napoli's win against Liverpool was unnecessary. Despite the defeat in this match, Napoli remains top of Group A. So Napoli did not give their full effort in this match. At least that's what Napoli's performance gave me. But Napoli wanted to draw the match. So they played defensively. But they failed.
They won't make the same mistake against Atalanta. The strongest and most consistent team in Serie A is Napoli. Napoli is 5 points ahead of second-placed Atalanta in the table. A win against Atalanta is crucial for Napoli if they want to secure the top spot in the table and secure the title. Atalanta's defense is strong. But their attack is weaker than Napoli's.

India  vs  Bangladesh

It is KING VIRAT! He batted excellently. He was unbeaten till the end of the innings. He has collected 64 runs off 44 balls. And the highest run scorer in this World Cup is Virat Kohli. Despite not being in form for many years, Virat has proved his ability in this World Cup. And Virat Kohli, SUryakumar Yadav, and Rahul gave India a huge target of 185. And I would say that is enough collection to win against a team like Bangladesh. And India will win today by a big margin.

Although Taskin, Mustafiz, and Shakib bowled well enough. Youngsters Shoriful and Hasan gave plenty of runs. Shoriful conceded 57 runs in his 4 overs. Hasan took three wickets but gave away 47 runs. I would say their bowling was poor today due to a lack of experience.

At the end of 5.4 overs, Bangladesh collected 58 runs without losing any wickets. Liton Das is batting well. I have never seen such great batting from a Bangladeshi batsman before. Liton Kumar Das collected 55 runs from 22 balls and opener Shanto collected only 3 runs from 11 balls. I think it is the fastest fifty of any Bangladeshi batsman If Shanto had been able to bat a bit better with Liton then Bangladesh might have won this match.
Bangladesh is playing very well now. Still, I don't think they will win the match. Due to this Bangladesh's batsmen cannot bat responsibly. Liton played well, now if Shakib and Afifa play well, Bangladesh will be able to defeat India in this match. At least I think so.

Before making predictions about the market, I think it would be better to wait until the Fed announces interest rates, as interest rates will act as a determining factor for the market situation. GDP in October increased more than expected but inflation has not yet decreased, so the possibility of a hawkish Fed is entirely possible. If they raise rates at 1% this will be a bad thing for bitcoin, I think a big dumping will happen but if interest rates are at 0.5% then things could be favorable for bitcoin as well as stock market. Let's wait for the Fed rate announcement then make a prediction.

November 1st on the calendar... Did I miss something? Where did it storm? Who got hit by the storm? What terrible / creepy / unexpected happened?
The only thing that can be seen, according to some fluctuations, is fraud in the oil and gas market. Although .... oil after the March and June peaks fell to the bottom ... Gas, after the August peak, also fell by 1/3 in price. Now some "personalities" of course are trying to spoil the whole world and are trying to undermine the price. But this is unlikely to give a result.
Europe is ready for winter, there are gas reserves, supplies have already been replaced by 75% with stable supplies from adequate suppliers.
Everything else is a temporary consequence of a terrorist war unleashed by a terrorist country against virtually the entire world. Nothing, and it will pass with the disappearance of the terrorist regime and the country Smiley

November will be much harsher as war intensifies, grain contracts are suspended, which will push us into the same food shortages as previous months and is likely to push inflation even higher. The Fed will announce rates tonight and we could very well see bloodshed in financial markets once again. October went by without major events but November and December will be really difficult for us. We have a lot of events in the last 2 months of this year, take shelter, the storm is still raging.

Brooklyn is a tire fire currently. I think they did Steve Nash a favor by letting him go. Look at the shit he had to deal with. Kyrie wouldn't get vaccinated, Durant trying to force a trade, Durant trying to get him fired, and now Kyrie with his antisemitism stuff. That team is just insane the last couple years. Nash will get another job if he really wants it.
I guess it's forthcoming, remember before the season started, there were some pressure from the management coming from a a player that wanted to get rid of Nash.

And so he won again, Nash left the Nets, and whatever he says, it's a bad separation in my opinion. Not sure about Ham, the Lakers could have too much faith in him right now.

I think it is actually better for him that he has left. The things that Brooklyn had to go through in recent times were absolutely unbelievable. All the bullshit that the players did was not good for the team or even for their careers as well. They have lost a game to Chicago Bulls recently. Which I might add, I did not expect Brooklyn to win, to be honest. When these types of things are going on in the team it is more difficult for the players to bring in the desired results.

Steve Nash is going to find another job for sure if he wants to continue his career. Additionally, I think it will be better for him compared to what he had to go through with the Brooklyn Nets.

T20 World cup is in progress  that's why there isn't any ODI going on any test country. Only big boards like Aus , England or India can afford such tournaments in there domestic setups. There isn't any attraction for test and ODI these days and these formats are not financially beneficial for boards.
Ideally this should not happen. Boards should have separate squads for test, ODI and T20. But from what we have seen, only one or two countries such as India and England can afford to do so. And in countries such as Zimbabwe, they have the same squad for all the three formats. And this is detrimental to the future of all the three varieties. There are older fans, who don't like the T20 format. Since there have been any cricket other than T20 during the last 3-4 months, these guys will be left without any means of entertainment from cricket.

It is very hard for every cricket board to make even one squad late alone make a different squad for a different format of cricket.

Just look at Bangladesh. They have been playing for so long but still they are not able to make separate teams for separate cricket formats.

Actually, that could have been possible if cricket had a base like football in the league setup. But they don't have anything like that.

It will be hard for any cricket board to make three separate teams for 3 separate formats. Especially for the smaller cricket boards. Another problem is when there is only one team which is doing very well we can often see that the players have problems with the cricket board and teams fall apart. Imagine what can happen if there are three cricket teams playing regularly as the national team of a single cricket board.
