I trusted Astralis a lot in the coupon I made yesterday. It was nonsensical for me to make such a choice knowing how good the Ence team was in the last matches. Ence has been a really good team lately. Also on the nuke map in the NIP-Vitality match. They got a quick win with Apex performance but it was easy for NIP in other maps. I actually have predictions for today's final matches, but I won't get coupons this time. Now I'm waiting for the major, there is little time left.

Yeah can understand your frustration, I also lost some days ago not sure who I was backing against but yeah the other team was ENCE and they defeated them quite badly. So right now, I am not making any bets on matches with them on it. Anyway right now, Nip vs ENCE is ongoing and NIP are the ones having the lead but ENCE is also not playing that bad either. So far .. a good finale...a 5 map game would make this weekend lovely. Cheesy

There is no clear penalty for Real Madrid as long as Mbappe still has the desire to move then Real Madrid will continue to pursue him until he signs a contract with him.
However, PSG must be willing to lose if Mbappe does not extend the contract, but that's where PSG's loss is because they don't let go before the contract expires so this will be a free transfer while Mbappe's interest in Madrid is firmly anchored in Madrid, so this is just an attempt on how PSG can persuade Mbappe to stay at PSG.

I think PSG knows about the loss and they are knowingly taking the risk and hoping that Mbappe changes his decision and signs the contract extension and that is why they did not accepted those bids for a player who is on the edge of his contract. However it is amusing to see that PSG sees Real Madrid bid as a disrespect with their continuous attempts to sign the player.

The position of the standings for the next week will still be in the hands of Chelsea because the opponent they face is Brentford, Chelsea may be able to win very easily against Brentford and I dare predict Chelsea can score more than 3 goals in this match, maybe there are several players important players who defend their respective countries at this time but Chelsea's chances are big enough to win the match against Brentford.

I think Brentford are not an easy target to get away a win easily. They gave a really hard time when Liverpool faced them who had a good attack with all the players and team. Brentford have a good attacking strategy and unit in place and also their defence are doing are doing a spectacular job as well. I think it would not be that easy for Chelsea on the matchday but let's see. Chelsea would be favourites to win the match and I will give you that but I am sure Brentford will also not give the points that easily.

It will be enjoyable to watch the struggle of Device and Zywoo today. The NIP team caught a 9 game streak and they are on fire. Given the odds are fine I made a bet on the NIP. Astralis and Ence match will be a lot of fun. Ence team recently managed to beat teams like G2, Vitalty, but they won't be able to do that against Astralis Smiley

It was  a tough game between Vitality and NIP. Both the teams showed us some great plays but it was NIP who showed their dominance in map 3 - Inferno and put up a spectacular defensive show in CT to shut out all the T aggressions. It was like NIP having all answers to Vitality attacks and humiliated Vitality by beating with score 16-2.

As for other match, Astralis were humiliated by ENCE who defeated with quite some shocking scoreline in both maps  - 16-4, 16-7 .

The new owner has provided 200 million pounds for the upcoming transfer window this will give Newcastle the freedom to bring in players and coaches
From the news I read they plan to bring Newcastle to the level of Man City based on the quality of the players, can you guess which players have the potential to get into Newcastle ? The first target must be a great coach because the coach knows what players he wants.
Right now Newcastle must focus on getting a new coach in my opinion, because with big funds, Newcastle could have brought in top players, however, they certainly need a new coach who is able to handle and formulate strategies for a strong squad so that they can compete later in the English league, although Steve Bruce is an experienced coach, but I don't think he has the capacity at all to handle big teams so far, I think some great managers who are still unemployed right now could be an option for Newcastle to replace Steve Bruce.


There is news that Steve Bruce can last until the end of the season but it is not certain whether with existing players or new players, Steve Bruce says he wants to be given a chance but still the decision rests with the management. Some predict Newcastle with Zidane but we know that Zidane is not familiar with the EPL.

I am gonna see how well they spend those 200 million pounds. A player bought at high price and no contribution also leads to waste of those funds so it is necessary to have good scouts as well who can give them good targets and why they need to sign them. Like I said, it will take time for Newcastle to adjust but they will improve in some time for sure now. It is a slow process and not an instant one where people are expecting to see sudden changes after change in ownership.

Transfer rumours:

Newcastle United could spend up to £190m in January without breaking Financial Fair Play rules, with Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane, 28, and France forward Kylian Mbappe, 22, "within reach". The football appetites of this club have greatly increased overnight but I think it is not realistic for Mbappe and Kane to come to Newcastle, at least not in the near future.
Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte would reject the chance to replace Bruce at Newcastle. There is an exciting and uncertain race for the new Newcastle coach.  Grin
Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho, could be heading to Newcastle from Barcelona in January. Will we really see this transfer?
Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 36, is reportedly eager for his club to make a move for Juventus and Italy winger Federico Chiesa, 23, who is also said to be a target for Chelsea at the end of the season. Chiesa and Ronaldo together in Manchester, how realistic is that?

Before a player moves to a team they want to see a future and their plans on how they want to set the plans and achieve their targets. If they want to convince some big names then they have to give them a very good reason why they have to choose Newcastle over other teams. It would be a very tough one unless there are players who weigh money more than the future. However they can make good investment in good staff for the start.

but, my bet slips only have IEM Fall games. Vitality - NIP and CPH Flames - MR  both games to go to the decider...Zywoo vs Device 🔥🔥

OOhhh  Shocked Vitality vs Nip, that's a crazy fixture. Zywoo vs device is always entertaining to watch but this time I am expecting entertaining plays from other members of the teams as well. Both the teams have improved a lot, adjusted to changes and I do think both the teams can perform lot better given the potential of their players. Still its a way to go, and guess gonna sit and enjoy this one.

Thanks toma, for letting me know about the fixture.

I think United's dependence on Ronaldo is greatly exaggerated, even if you look at such an indicator as the cost of the players - Ronaldo is now worth about 45 million, the rest of the squad is 900. Ronaldo plays as it should, he is a team player and always gives a lot of assists, and those who criticize him for being too focused on the goal think very strange - this is the main job of a striker.

Yes it is, that's because he is a world class player and has class higher than most of the players inside the team. Same it was when Messi was at Barcelona. They think Ronaldo being a special player is given a special treatment and a team is highly dependent on him. People look this thing wrong on so many levels. He is a striker and he is fulfilling his role perfectly, rest of the team is what needs to do their job. Also its not that he is the only one taking chances but there are other players who are taking their chances. I don't think with the arrival of Ronaldo there is much change in their play style.

Newcastle United is really going to be a big threat to the elite clubs next season,should the new owner invests heavily the way he wants to.Just like Manchester City rose to glory,that's how Newcastle is going to rise.

If sacking their coach and bringing in new one will help better their situation right now,they will do it because there is a new billionaire owner now.And with a good manager,big players will want to play for the team,and help lift the club to glory.

Investing heavily and on right players <- that is what gonna mke them a big club. However the changes will not be sudden and it will take a lot of time to make an image as a team where good players will be interested to move onto. I think it will take some time to settle down as a big club.

Good to hear that mikel Arteta has won the Premier League manager of the month award after a three match winning streaks against Norwich, Burnley and Tottenham this I believed is a big relief and reprieve to him having been under intense pressure from poor league runs earlier in the season, Arteta winning the award among experienced manager like Kloop, Guordiola and Ole means he deserves some commendations though Arsenal is 11th on the table which means there is room for improvement in their subsequent matches.
Link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58845536

The win against Tottenham wasn't an easy feat for Gunners. It was North London Derby and we defeated Spurs quite heavily and showed a good dominance throughout the match. Not surprised that Arteta won Premier League manager of the month but still there is a lot to go to improve the team and maintain the consistency throughout the title race which is what we need and aim for in the end. These are just small achievements but we need to focus on the bigger part here is what I want to say as a Gunners fan.

Newcastle was having difficulties the last two seasons and still, their management didn't do something more to strengthen the team. It's dissapointing to see them struggling but on the other hand, what can we do? The thing is that their hopes for remaining this season in EPL look more than bad.

P.s: What a good movie you recalled man, I will rewatch it as well! Cool

Yeah they are performing badly but that doesn't means they would lose every game. I think they could surprise teams and that's how PL is- unpredictable . There is thing called consistency which is also important in race. You can surprise one big team but continue to lose other easy games and that way also a team can drag down in title race into relegation spot. I know there are slim chances for surprising in some difficult matches but there is still a possibility.

Now Newcastle United is having change in ownership so I think lot changes will be going on there. Hope it turns out best for them.
2152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 07, 2021, 04:00:22 PM
Real Madrid would be in really huge debt if they do so. And actually, I believe that they are not in need of him a lot now. Because Benzema is already performing superbly when it comes to scoring and contributing to the team in many ways too. In the end, they are still dependent on Benzema and that's why they want to sign a top striker immediately. But they can maintain this performance till the end of the season as long as Benzema is this good and not injured.

Real Madrid don't want Mbappe? There are lot of articles and lot of credible sources that confirmed that Madrid made a good bid for Mbappe but PSG declined them saying that they don't want to sell him and further more bids are disrespecting them as Mbappe is a PSG player and they have to respect that. I am not sure about Madrid's debt but I think Mbappe is going to Madrid very likely after he is free. Its not about Benzema is performing or not, it is about securing the future and with Mbappe in their team they think their squad will be strong and competitive one for years to come if he comes to Madrid.

I'm not saying it's Ole's fault the team is in such a state now. Since Ronaldo is a very talented player, the other players on the team rely on him. Which is bad for the team. Because all the players of MU are talented. They want to perform well from their position without relying on other players, the overall performance of the team will be very good. Ole should keep an eye on this issue so that the players do not become dependent on Ronaldo.

Yeah they don't need to depend on Ronaldo to find scoring opportunities. If players think he can take a good shot then he should give it a try. What you are saying is also an issue but don't think it's not that situation that has been going on now. I feel they are making mistakes right now at defence which needs to be corrected right now.
2154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 06, 2021, 05:32:54 PM
Newcastle are a team in the relegation zone so it should be a Spurs win with as many goals as possible because a counter-attack will kill the Spurs defense if they are careless at the back.
But sometimes a weak team always tries to win, especially when the Spurs will play away next week.
Harry Kane hasn't opened his eyes yet this season unlike last season, and I also hope he can shine with his many goals.

Don't undermine a team who is in relegation zone. Out of the blue they can perform anytime and Newcastle can with the players they have. Yeah Kane not shining with his boots is another worry for Spurs. As a striker, he needs to start scoring goals and give his team a good cushion to defend in games.


It's true that Tottenham's game this time is against a lower team but if they ignore a strong defensive strategy, I think they will still be easily beaten by Newcastle.  Spurs can't always rely on Kane to score goals and give the team the win so whatever they want to achieve must be based on good cooperation.

Right at point, they need to have a good defensive strategy and avoid making mistakes like they did in Arsenal game. In other games, their defense and Lloris were spectacular. See as a striker, Kane needs to do his job and right now  he hasn't scored any goals which is now slowly becoming a worrying sign for the team. At least he is making some balls so that is a good sign that he is contributing into potential plays but he needs to start scoring.
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 06, 2021, 04:53:25 PM
The easiest opponent for Tottenham so far is Newcastle. All of Tottenham's opponents are stronger than Newcastle. Either way Tottenham must win this match. If they want to go to the up of the points table. If they can't beat Newcastle, they won't be able to win against West Ham either. West Ham has been performing very well this season.

Spurs defense is the main problem. Usually they defend properly but in game against Arsenal they were horrible. Newcastle have a very good attacking line with Maximin, Almirion and Joelinton who could give some problems if not defended properly. Main strategy for Spurs should be to get as much goal as possible and defend that. Spurs have an amazing line , its just that some are not performing but its time to shine. I expect Kane to open his account in this upcoming PL match.

Have no idea about LOL so had some extra money and put them all on toma instincts.
2/2 wins  (: 

Thanks man, it was fun watching the games and winning some. Had no idea what was going on was fun to watch the dominant display Cheesy

Today in the Intel Extrem Masters Extremum vs Team Liquid Liquid should win without any problems
Evil Geniuses vs Triumph same here for Evil.
Team one vs Godsent that gone ba a intres match Team one play not so bad the last matches they can win maybe the next big team  Roll Eyes  Huh


Team liquid is a good pick but I have doubts on the other two you mentioned. EG has been going on some problems so I am expecting Triumph maybe making some troubles for them today. Also Godsent has been playing very well so I think it should be easy for Godsent in the other one.

^  The return of Pep will be the only thing that could take them out of the rut as quickly as possible imho.  And even then, it would take years of rebuilding the squad and years of fixing whatever is going on at Barca behind the scenes.  I always go back to the Liverpool example...  Something which Man United is experiencing.

Yeah someone with good experience and technical mindset is what they are in dire need right now to lift them up. But I am sure Pep will not leave City until he gets them the CL so feels that Pep to Barca is not gonna happen unless somehow City sacks him and Pep also changes his mind and make a return to Barca.

Liverpool were very patient. After appointment of Klopp, they kinda had confidence on him and did transfers accordingly gave him time and right now inside that squad there are lot of players who have a winning mentality and lot of players with leadership qualities. They believe in their coach and their teammates and that is why they are the best right now. A team with best morale state. Barca on other hand has dropped on morale, no player with leadership, lost confidence on coach, and so and it is dragging them down. They need to make changes if they need to stop this otherwise it will be too late. Whoever the next man it will be , it will be hell of a job to pull the team back.
2158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 05, 2021, 02:43:26 PM
Although Xavi Hernandez success on his club right now with Al Sadd SC I think is not guarantee he will be success to for Barcelona because with less star player and many regular player left Barcelona still nothing he can do. How ever less experience for Europe team maybe can make his career for Barcelona is not good option, but if Barcelona keep trying to ask him become the next Barcelona coach better give space for him to get star player.

Exactly, and that's why Barca according to reports tried to give Xavi to manage Barca B squad. Appointment of new manager doesn't guarantee , it's just is change of tactics and strategies and that might work and they may not work as well. Barca also need a good leader who can lead them and protect their morale on the pitch and there is none in Barca team right now.

I've updated the Calendar in the OP! The top 3 Esports will have their biggest event of 2021 this month...i'm stoked!!

Worlds 2021 Play-in start tomorrow and i've already placed my tickets:




Have no idea about LOL so had some extra money and put them all on toma instincts. First one already won with LNG winning against Hanhwa and now waiting for the Cloud9 one. Cloud9 seems to be doing quite well in previous meetings as I checked. Let's see how long I can go on backing toma bets.
2160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Esports Prediction & Discussion Thread on: October 04, 2021, 05:26:49 PM
Astralis have already qualified for the majors. Is there any chance for Complexity still , if there is then I think it won't be easy for Astralis to get a win in this match.
i haven't been following the groups or who's close to qualifying or not, i just place my tickets based on their recent form and i've been doing ok in the last couple of days (:   (5W 3L)

two wins today

Well that is what all matters in the end, whether your bets are hitting or not.  Cheesy Wink Still you are doing kinda good IMO given how unpredictable CS is going on right now. I hope this keeps on going on as we know how much we have lost in those unpredictable CS games earlier.

Yeah today start the Intel Extrem Master m happy have time to watch it maybe we see some underdogs  Shocked
first match paiN Gaming vs Extra Salt im dont now about pai how they play butt i now Extra salt have a solid team and play good cs:go
Triumph vs TeamOne i feel a bit compassion for Triumph  Roll Eyes they had no chance.
Evil Geniuses vs GODSENT  great match to watch Godsent is the better team im think they win

Not much exciting games today IMO, EG and Godsent is a good fixture but its not a battle where I expect to see something spectacular but well its a good one to watch if you wanna kill some time. I hope EG get this btw, they are kinda on a bad run now.
