Not as imagined, now Real Betis are struggling to break down the defenses of Cadiz. The second half had just started and they still couldn't score throughout the first half, even Cadiz managed to make it difficult for Real Betis to at least break through their defense. The game can be said to be balanced in my opinion with Real Betis pressing more. There is still a lot of time for Real Betis to change the situation for the better and get 3 points from this match. Yes maybe they will win by only creating 1 goal.

Marseille's 2 matches were not so good and should be 2 defeats in a row, it kept them away from Paris Saint Germain in the standings. This week they also got a tough opponent, Lens. Perched one level above Marseille Lens is a difficult opponent for Marseille. If you look at the statistics, these two teams are not much different in terms of strength, maybe it will also be a match that ends with sharing points from each team. If that really happened then Marseille would be further away from the leaders.

I feel like I'm too late and the btc price is literally just gonna go sideways forever. Or maybe a slow gradual push up. Maybe in 20 years it will be worth half a mil.

I dont think we're gonna see anymore gains like people of the 2010s and 13s experienced. and even 2017...|

Will btc ever hit a million? Or hundred million?

I kick myself so hard every night going to sleep that I didn't get in earlier. Liek I'll literally have dreams of being in 2013 when I first heard about it and buying some... T_T

It really depends on your perspective. From a historical standpoint, new users are actually quite late to the Bitcoin party – the currency has been around for over eight years now. However, from a more speculative standpoint, new users may still be early to the party as Bitcoin's value could potentially continue to rise in the future. So it really depends on your outlook and investment goals!
No one is late to bitcoin even though most of them think it's too late because they see the bitcoin price at the beginning and what is happening now, of course it becomes a regret (if you look at the financial advantage). But if speaking as a whole it is never too late, it is clear this is an asset created for the future and that future is not just now but beyond.
My advice is not to always look at the profit side of money, but to look wider than that. It would be a shame to only see it from one side.

Another game , another chance for my team Betis to stay on top 4 in LaLiga.  They are playing in about half an hour against Cadiz and Betis are having first chance for victory but a high odd of 2.14 that kinda make me skeptical and if you want to bet on this game , go for both teams to score just to be safe. Grin
This is a good opportunity for Real Betis to continue to get closer to the points from Barcelona and also keep their distance from Real Madrid, who are now at the top of the standings after successfully defeating Barcelona in the El Clasico match. Cadiz is not a strong opponent at the moment because Cadiz is still struggling to improve performance as well as get out of the relegation zone. It will be an important match for Real Betis to keep their form and I believe they can finish this well.

Sevilla as a team is now weak. They have continued to perform consistently poorly since the start of the season. Their position is 11th in the points table. Sevilla have won only 2 of 10 matches this season. It is almost certain that Sevilla will not qualify for the Champions League. But since Sevilla is a renowned team, they have a huge fan base. They should try to perform a bit better. But Sevilla are disappointing their fans in almost every match.
Sevilla are not in a very good position. They are failing to show good game now. They now need to ensure a win in every match if they want to do well in the tournament. Team players must be responsible. Hopefully they will come back in good form.
Sevilla has gone down a lot and it is so difficult for them to quickly get back out of this slump. Luckily they didn't lose any points in this match and still managed to get at least one point. Sevilla are so very difficult to develop the game even their back line is working poorly. If they continued to be in a situation like this then they would quickly get close to the red zone. The end of last season was the beginning where their situation was like this.

Despite being seeded, Napoli must be wary of AS Roma. In this match, Jose Mourinho is certainly very determined to break the chain of victories that have been achieved by Napoli. Chris Smalling will certainly take advantage of the advantage as the host to pick full points.
Although Napoli are in quite good shape following an unbeaten result, AS Roma cannot be considered weak, Jose Mourinho is building Roma's strength to be better this season, but on the other hand taking advantage of opportunities as hosts, not enough influence, and producing positive things , considering the arrival of Napoli to the Stadio Olimpico with high confidence, victories with Bologna, Ajax and Cremonese are enough to be capital for Napoli at this time.
Looking at Napoli's performance now it's actually still getting better for them but sometimes the problem is that in the next few weeks it's clear it will be a tough game for them.
for their next 5 matches, there are at least 3 clubs that are a scourge for them at this time, namely Roma, Atalanta for Serie A and Liverpool for the Champions League.

I actually still believe for them to face Roma regardless of Roma's performance and of course it will be a bit of a hassle but I'm sure they will win, but the problem is the game after, whether they are able to beat all the big games that will happen after this makes me not too sure .

Manchester United are still up and down in performance, their game is unpredictable what it will be, sometimes it's good sometimes it's the other way around. They are still struggling with their own internal problems and result in losing maximum points even though it is an opportunity for them to collect more points. Now of course Tottenham is a tough opponent who is also more productive in scoring goals than Manchester United. Son and Harry Kane are a big threat to them. Their defense failed to keep up with erling Haaland when they were beaten by Manchester City. I hope they don't do the same in this game.
Still doubtful if choosing a bet on Man United they are not strong enough for a win so their stability is still not good enough so Ten Hag is still not trying to find the right strategy for his team at the moment.
That's what to watch out for because Tottenham are in the middle of their peak with Antonio Conte with 2 very deadly strikers "Son & Kane" I think this will indeed be a threat to Man United even if it plays at Old Traffor, so my chances are more on the result draw or Tottenham can win.
Tottenham's midfield and attack at this time is very troublesome.
Son, Richarison and Kulusevski are always troublesome with their runs which are quite difficult to catch. On the other hand Kane is also in good form and found his good form after missing last season which makes Tottenham now cannot be underestimated.

Currently Manchester's midfield is also still a little difficult.
Even though Ten Hag does a lot of schemes that are actually meant to strengthen in the midfield, but as you said, currently Ten Hag is still not able to maximize the potential of the MU players well.
2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 19, 2022, 03:10:50 PM
For some players everything is possible and indeed only a handful of people can do this and Benzema is one of them now.
Age is just a number really happened but most likely this only happened once for him. Even though this season there are still the same opportunities but seeing the condition of some of the current young players who are quite good I seem a little doubtful that Benzema can do this again.

It seems that Benzema will perform well this season as well. Among the young players, the performance of none other than Haaland seems satisfactory. If Benzema can continue his performance as consistently as last season and if Real Madrid is able to win the La Liga and Champions League titles again, Benzema may be able to win the Ballon d'Or again. We are not getting satisfactory performances from players like Lelandowski and Messi.
It's still not certain.
Now 10 weeks have passed and Benzema still hasn't shown his prime until now.
There are several reasons, such as the injury factor for a while and maybe the clubs now will not make Benzema free in the defense area so this is another factor.

He has to get out of his zone now and try to keep playing attractive performances like before so that he can make free movement later in the Liga that Madrid is running.

Of course at this time he must realize that if his current form is still the same then the Ballon d'Or title will only be once in his name although indeed I am still proud of this player.
2068  Economy / Economics / Re: Competition in business on: October 19, 2022, 02:27:32 PM
Actually, in this case, everything related to goods and services clearly must have competitors because apart from being a benchmark as you said, this is also quite good for us as consumers because this can be several options and not only 1.
I am speaking from a consumer point of view, obviously being a little happy with the competition both in products and services so that it is not too monotonous when determining what we want because apart from there are various types, of course we are looking for the right price for us because at that time it was cheap. only one then it will be very difficult to determine this.
As a consumer then it is really that a benefit since we could really be having lots of options but it is really bad for business owners when they do really have those lots of  competitors which we know that it do affects

revenue making but well every business that is expected to have competition and tending to get some market share which it isnt really that surprising.This is why as a business owner then you should really be that

keep on seeking for something new or something that hadnt been in the market.This is why being progressive is really that important on any business.
As long you do sustain then thats really the most important thing to consider.
This goes back to their ability to do business because regardless of what it is about good management in business whether they can compete or not.
Because of course this is when we are in a business competition will definitely continue to happen considering that in this case it is like the law of the jungle. who is strong then he is the one who survives.
It depends on whether we are able to compete or not because actually there are only two in this case when we are able to compete then we can survive but if not then surely you have to leave the business.

Currently the market is so aggressive that when there is a new product or new service there will be a lot of competition so when we do business we must pay attention to this.
2069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ballon d'Or discussion and odds on: October 18, 2022, 06:04:08 PM
Benzema really deserved this award. He played excellent football alone, helped them win many critical matches and thanks to him, his team won trophies. I think he was the most valuable player of the last year, and he was at the age where many players retire while doing all this.
He's still doing great and I think he'll be very successful this season as well. Benzema is to be congratulated Smiley
Indeed, Real Madrid's success last season could not be separated from the great contribution that Benzema dedicated to Real Madrid and it was an extraordinary season for him. This award deserves to be bestowed upon him. Now he has successfully recorded one of the awards that many players want. And the award for him is not much debated because he really deserves this award. Congratulations to Benzema who won the award, hopefully this will be a motivation for him to navigate this season.

Manchester United should have been able to defeat Newcastle last week. Their wasting big opportunities in the last minutes cost them big. And this time they are going to play even a more difficult match. It is a home match against Tottenham.

Tottenham have been one of the best performing teams since the beginning of the season. As Son has improved his performance recently as well they are even stronger in offense especially. Manchester United defense will need to work extra compared to the Newcastle match. Because they might not be that much lucky about not conceding any goal unlike the Newcastle match. Actually they defended Liverpool and Arsenal very well in Old Trafford. But I think that Tottenham will resist them really well and not lose this match. I don't think they will lose to them too after having a defeat against Arsenal recently.
Manchester United are still up and down in performance, their game is unpredictable what it will be, sometimes it's good sometimes it's the other way around.

Not only the ugliness of Juventus, even Allegri is still being debated because of why Juventus still maintains while his team is in a bad phase, indeed it is still in doubt for Juventus to finish in the top 4 of Serie A but we all know Juventus is now a little different from the previous season. then so I say they can lose to compete between teams who are currently 4 in Serie A.
Not only that, Serie A will now be more competitive and points are not much different before, Inter Milan is also still trying to keep chasing points while Napoli and Atalanta are still consistent as a strong team at this time.
We're still not halfway through the season. It's still too soon to conclude it all. we don't know how Juventus will solve its problems.
as you said, Serie A is currently more competitive. The competition between teams is very visible. after the half of the season, we may see surprises coming from the teams that are currently lagging.
the winter transfer market could be one of the reasons for the improvement of the team that currently looks bad. I hope Juventus can improve its performance.
Yes, it's still too early because we haven't finished half the season. But it's been too long for Allegri to change the team situation, how long will it take him to sort this out? until the middle of the season? it's so long. They had to solve this problem as soon as possible before it was really too late. It's been a few games that they have gone through but it doesn't show any change that they can get better. That's what makes Allegri a lot of doubts now. If this continues I'm afraid they will find it difficult to find their true identity.


Actually regardless of the comeback or not the match completely belongs to Napoli.

i agree and knowing mourinho it is already possible to imagine that rome will play in defense to at least have a draw and napoli will play in attack to score early and win the game, this is a game in which napoli won
It won't be that easy for Napoli to win the game. Mourinho must have had some anticipation of where Napoli were strong in attack. By not denying that Napoli are the favorites in this match, but AS Roma will also act as the host. And as the host they will play their best to get points so as not to be humiliated in front of their own supporters.
2072  Economy / Economics / Re: Competition in business on: October 18, 2022, 05:06:53 PM
Competiton, especially healthy competition in business is good. We have seen technological innovations spring up as well as novel marketing ideas as a result of competition. Besides this, from the side of the consumers, there is a lot to gain from healthy competition among businesses. Imagine for a second two companies providing the same services and all of a sudden one company decides  to set its price too high, we know what will happen next. The consumers will just change service providers with the business with lower fees so as to save money.

Benzema's performance last season really stole the attention because it was thanks to the goals he always created that always made Madrid even rise from falling behind in the Champions League like when they faced PSG and City in the knockout phase.
This is clearly something that is very good for Benzema because it can be said that even though he is not young anymore, his contribution last season was really extraordinary, even if it could be said that the only thing that could hold Benzema back last season was only an injury that bothered him a bit. it doesn't exist anymore so it's a fair tribute to Benzema.
It is a perfect example of how age is just a number that 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema just gets better with age. The contribution Benzema made last season led to Madrid winning the Champions League, like he never gave up. As a result of Ronaldo's departure, Benzema proved to be the right successor for Real Madrid. It was a time when he applauded for Ronaldo, but now it's his turn. Real Madrid's best player at the moment is Benzema.
For some players everything is possible and indeed only a handful of people can do this and Benzema is one of them now.
Age is just a number really happened but most likely this only happened once for him. Even though this season there are still the same opportunities but seeing the condition of some of the current young players who are quite good I seem a little doubtful that Benzema can do this again.
2074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will be running in your mind if Bitcoin reaches $1000 again on: October 18, 2022, 11:49:23 AM
What would be your reaction? Will you turn your back on Bitcoin or has your investment just begun on it?
I wouldn't say I'll be overjoyed, but I will be overjoyed because the market has lowered the price to the point where many people who missed out on investing in Bitcoin during its early stages can now do so.
Although I know it will be difficult for the Bitcoin price to fall this low because many market makers will not allow it to fall drastically due to their large investment in the market, if it does, I will do everything I can to buy as much as I can because I know it will rise again.
Actually I don't want to speculate about something that I believe is unlikely to happen. But if I really have to speculate, then I'll do what you do. I will carry as much Bitcoin as possible into my wallet instead of turning away from bitcoin. Because it is a golden opportunity that may not be repeated. But again I believe that is unlikely to happen, even if it did, maybe when there is a great recession sweeping across the world.

We should also admit that Benzema did have a very big contribution to Real Madrid last season, whereas at first many doubted Real Madrid in the Champions League but Benzema was able to provide high achievements for Real Madrid. Therefore, Benzema deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and I think there is nothing to argue about because no other player has contributed as much as Benzema last season.

Moreover, Benzema is not young anymore but Banzema is still playing very well and indeed, Lewandowski is also old and was able to make a good contribution to Bayern Munich last season. But yes, Lewandowski cannot give more and higher titles like the Champions League to Bayern Munich so his assessment is still not enough to get him to win the Ballon d'Or.

Is Sergio Busquets an experienced midfielder, most definitely! but is Busquets obsolete and no longer essential, literally the freaking truth! He shouldn't be out there starting every game, he should be dropped, I'd rather have a Gavi, Pedri, Kessie or De Jong, both De Jong and Kessie can play as a CDM, or even Gavi who has been very energetic and got great passing accuracy and covers most distance on the pitch than most of other Barcelona players in most of the recent games.
Sergio Busquets.? His time with Barcelona is over. He is not reliable anymore, his age which has passed the golden age as a football player has made him experience many declines in his appearance.
Xavi still has many more energetic and reliable players in the midfield. I don't think he will stay at Barcelona much longer, the conditions that Sergio Busquets are in are the same as Gerard Pique.
He is now 34 years old and indeed it is almost over for Busquets especially he is also a bit of a problem with the higher-ups at Barcelona because he is like an agreement with Pique because he does not want to cut his salary again after several seasons of his salary being cut.
Right now he is still needed, especially as he becomes a captain who is clearly still influential but when you look at the current conditions it seems that his future at Barcelona will also not be guaranteed, especially now that his contract expires in the summer.

Just another reminder that the bitcoin market is cyclical, and everything that we are seeing with bitcoin now has already happened before and the necessary lessons should be learned

There have been times of rise and fall of bitcoin price but to those that are experienced enough they will understand that the volatile bitcoin price only works with it demand and supply to make the economy profitable for those coming in and those selling off,  with much understanding, an average bitcoin investors should know that holding is very important during massive fall but in it all, there's always a time to regain back every losses during all time high provided that it was bought when dip and holdl till ATH.
Bitcoin will always be bitcoin with price movements that are sometimes mentally draining. But that's where the real opportunity should really be used. But some people see this upside down especially those who are too frightened when the bitcoin price drops. This is the mentality that investors don't have, they will worry and keep asking where the bitcoin price will go. They never learned from the previous year, which if seen there is a similar cycle that eventually bitcoin will find ATH again.
2078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 17, 2022, 07:51:13 PM
Their problem is that they haven't found Pique's replacement. Pique is already 35 years old and his physique has declined. Even Pique always has a hard time facing a striker who can run quickly. I think Xavi should start thinking about the central defender. I think he should be brave to start the rotation,for example by installing Kounde as the starting line up. Because Xavi is carrying a mission of improvement and he deserves to give more playing time to the younger defenders.

Playing with young defenders are always a big gamble, all other positions you can fill youngsters but especially central defenders need to be experienced. Major clubs like Barcelona have no luxury to play with inexperienced defenders.
I don't think Barcelona had any chance left in Champions League anyway. They should go to Europa League route and try to win that trophy.
There is always a risk when placing young players in the line-up, especially the central defender position. That's a crucial position for defense that must be filled by players who have experience, composure and can read the direction of the ball. It's hard to find a centre-back with that kind of quality. But I agree that player rotation can be one way before the transfer market opens. However, we cannot know the quality of a player without giving him a chance to play. It is very risky indeed, but at least there is an effort to find players who can fill these positions.

I quite appreciate Klopp's strategy in this match because even though it looks monotonous and does not reflect Liverpool, they do know that they have to be defensive like this so they can win considering they are actually quite weak when playing open. and Klopp is not forcing this and is more focused on defense.
Van Dijk was also in this match quite disciplined and this was probably the best performance he has shown so far in the EPL in my opinion.
I agree that Klopp's strategy was quite successful to quell the attacks launched by Manchester City. And I also agree with Van Dijk's performance, because in the previous matches he has also been heavily criticized for his unsatisfactory performances. It really hurts me a lot when people are compared to Harry Maguaire. This win will mean a lot to Liverpool and I'm sure they will continue to nurture their game to improve. I miss their old game where everything worked effectively.
2080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: October 17, 2022, 06:00:53 PM
Barcelona loves playing fancy and entertaining football which is not benefiting when you are losing or needs a win.They really played well but couldn't win the match.Real Madrid are goals hunters they believe more in scoring goals than ball possession. Playing at home also gave them an advantage which they made us of properly. Benzema is a wonderful striker,he has scored 12 goals and assisted 9 goals so far for Real Madrid against Barca in 37 matches in all competitions. 3-1 is a big win. In recent seven matches played between both clubs Madrid has win 6 out of 7 in all competitions.

The reason for Barcelona's loss in the last three matches was due to the Bad choice of players
and Xavi's inability to read the opponent well before the confrontation.
But Barca still has a chance to win La Liga but no hope for UCL, Unless a miracle happens.

I'm convinced that Barca is bigger than Xavi's potential, unfortunately.

The selection of players is poor because Xavi does not have a coating that is able to fill the vacancies of several positions left. That means that their squad is not evenly distributed, but rather they are only strong when key players are still playable and when they are not playable it creates quite an open gap in the line-up. Honestly, I don't like the Barcelona style of play that doesn't dare to make more diverse attacks from various lines. Also they are very difficult to shoot from long range to create chances. That's one of Barcelona's weaknesses that I see.
