Totally agree with all the assessments about tonight I know Juventus haven't been doing well in the league but surely something is off when they're not the favorites against Villareal. They're not the same team they were, no team really is, but Villareal also is going to be highly prone to allow goals. BTTS is for sure, just who will get more goals I guess is the winner, but at the same time both don't mind drawing too with away goals rule gone I would say.
Yes, that will make each team finally have to win in the initial match with a goal, because in the second leg later of course they can apply a defensive strategy which of course has been proven by many of the big teams and can't even do much. Regarding Villarreal v Juventus it is very possible for both teams to score because they both have the ability to score goals and also, the defense that was not so perfect for both allowed them to concede.

I think in today's game against Juventus vs Villarreal, if not the favor of Juventus will be a big loss. Both teams are playing well now and both teams will want to win. However, as confident as I am, Juventus can win this game, because their sticker Paulo Dybala will play in this match and will be able to score the goals that come. In Villarreal vs. Juventus yes it is possible for both teams to score because they both have the ability to score, there is no objection that both teams can draw goals at the same time.
2282  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost +$ 20k in future, advice for newbies on: February 22, 2022, 05:22:09 AM
Hey guys.
First of all, i would like to thank all people here who are sharing informations and help other.

 Secondly, i want to share my bad experience in crypto using future.

Before Starting in crypto, i have traded forex in 2016, starting with a capital of $ 500,  i Lost it quickly then i have learned TA, after a few months, i came back and start again with $1k, Wich i turned into 5K in almost 15 days, but i Lost all again because I didn't respect rules and take more risk then i realized that forex isn't for me.

In the beginning of 2016 i started trading crypto but didn't know a lot of things about Blockchain, then lost again, because I didn't hold ( sold BTC and Ethereum at 2000, eth at 800 😂...

Since April 2021, when all people talk about crypto and when all is green 🍏 i started again in crypto but I didn't have  a clear strategy because i have trading using the money that i barrow from the bank Wich i had to use to buy our house with my wife, then i Start to take money from the bank, 3k a week, then i traded spot but as i wanted to make profit quickly but that was the wrong...
Then i started trading future and after turning 5k into 11k I didn't take profit coz i was greedy lol
After I lost all the money i have Wich is +20 k, i was living in hard situation coz i didn't buy the house i had planned with my wife to buy and she was angry as she didn't understand all this, she think it's only like casino...
Now I'm paying the bank every month the money i have borrowed from them until 7 years ...

It was a good lesson for me that I won't never forget.

My advice for newbies :
PLEASE, DONT NEVER TRY FUTURE.
PLEASE, DONT NEVER USE THE MONEY THAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR LIVING.
PLEASE, DON'T NEVER TAKE The MONEY FROM THE BANK AND TARDE WITH IT.

At the end, i apologize if that's long, but i would just like to share this and i hope newbies like me take lesson from this.
 Thank you guys.
Thank you for sharing, I hope people stay away from futures trading as far as possible. The biggest mistake in financial investment is not using borrowed money to invest. They not only bring risks to ourselves but also have consequences for our loved ones. It's even worse when we want to get rich quick by trading futures, to me it's like a game of chance. To be honest, I have not seen anyone win in futures trading whether a newbie or a experienced trader

Are you a fan of Captain America?, Don't watch movies too much. 100 years is a very long time, Bitcoin is also just a man-made product like fiat or other valuables. With the rapid development of technology, in the next 5 years 10 years, perhaps bitcoin will become even more special as its value increases and is widely used. But 100 years later, I think bitcoin has been replaced by something better.

Got to know about Bitcoin through a Bitcoin ponzi in 2017. Joined but didn't make any money.

Can you tell me which bitcoin ponzi you have participated in?. It reminds me of 2017, I was also involved in many ponzi projects including bitcoinnect, hextracoin...I made a lot of money from them but then I also lost all my bitcoins. For me, all are interesting experiences in my own bitcoin journey.

Expect an interesting game in Spain tomorrow - Villarreal vs Juventus! Bookmakers are giving very good odds for both teams to score - 2.0... I don't know who might be stronger in this match, but I think we will see an exchange of goals... Wink

I think this match is going to be really competitive and in my opinion Juventus might play a little aggressive in this match. So I would not be surprised if they score the first goal of the match. And looking at the defense of both the teams I think it's quite obvious that both teams might score in this match. But both teams will also certainly go for the win.
2286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 21, 2022, 06:21:28 PM
Hamburg played a draw and St. Pauli losed his game. I did not expect that. St. Pauli's head seems to be in the game now (mentality). That was shown by the two unrealised penalties. That was the first home game they lost. They now have to show that they can get out of it.

Didn't expect St Pauli to lose this match. This was the match that could potentially secure them first place in the league. But now they are still not very far behind. Only one point behind the first-place team.

So, it still should not be a big problem. I honestly like how this league is being played out because it's rare to see any league this competitive.
2287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I convinced a Stock Trader to Invest in Bitcoin on: February 21, 2022, 02:51:01 AM
Even as someone who read many books about money management and other related books I still won't try convincing anyone to invest in something because in this case, you should be responsible if he lose any money and should be responsible for the advice you give him, regardless of that, both stock markets and bitcoins markets may have some benefits for the people who invest here and the price action situation is different in any market for example if someone is a successful investor in stocks market there is no guarantee to say can be a good bitcoin investor after that.
He's trying to share a new way of making money with his uncle. I think there is nothing wrong here, he should not be responsible for anything. Not only Bitcoin but almost all investment methods are high risks. His uncle is a stock trader, I think he also understands the essence of investing "invest with money you are willing to lose". He's just trying to share about the bitcoin market. If his uncle is not interested, he can refuse. There is no coercion here, so no one will be held accountable.
2288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what gives Bitcoin it value? on: February 21, 2022, 02:27:34 AM
in my own understanding about what gives Bitcoin it value I think it because of it higher demand in the society in the sense that the more Bitcoin is been mined and  the more it been wanted by people, the higher the value becomes. therefore Bitcoins value lies in it scarcity and increasing demand.

 if the price of one Bitcoin where to reach 514,000, Bitcoin market capitalization would reach approximately 15% of the global currency market.


https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100314/why-do-bitcoins-have-value.asp#:~:text=Bitcoin%20demonstrates%20some%20attributes%20for,of%20the%20global%20currency%20market.

what do you think?
All things not just bitcoin, their value comes from demand. The higher the demand, the higher the bitcoin value will be. Besides the scarcity of supply, the demand for owning bitcoin is increasing because of the utility and breakthrough technology that bitcoin brings to today's society. Convenient, easy to store and can pay, transfer money anywhere without going through any other 3rd party.

I was actually quite shocked by the performance of Dortmund in this match because I expected them to win the match. And here we have a 4-2 scoreline with Dortmund losing. I think that they were good enough in the offense but the defense was really questionable. I do hope that they show a better performance in the second leg. And their defending needs to be improved ASAP.
Dortmund is literally falling apart. The reason they are still second in the Bundesliga is because the other teams are also relatively weak, like Leverkusen who lost against Mainz today. Without Haaland Dortmund really seems to be lost.
Regarding Barcelona, that is what I expected. A lot of people here believed that Barcelona is doing better again and will beat Napoli, but no. The second game in Napoli will be extremely hard with Italian fans backing the team. I think this was it for Barcelona.

Dortmund would have been rather low in the table if there were better teams in the Bundesliga. But the 2 main competitors are Bayern Munich and Dortmund. And Dortmund is also at a lot lower level than Bayern Munich.
And I think in the 2nd leg Barcelona will try their hardest. I know it would be really hard for them to win.




-
The defeat at home to Rangers was indeed very bad, especially since Rangers managed to score 4 goals. This should be a concern for
Dortmund's defense which played very poorly in that match. I also hope that in the second leg Dortmund can improve their very fragile defense,
because if the front line is productive but not accompanied by a solid back line performance, it will be difficult for Dortmund to win the game.
But Dortmund are also too dependent on Erling Haaland, I noticed every time Dortmund played without Haaland the performance was not so good.
Hopefully Haaland can play again soon, because there are quite a lot of important matches that must be played by Dortmund. Not only in
the second leg of the Europa League Dortmund must win, but Dortmund also must not lose points in Bundesliga matches to be able to catch up
with Bayern's points.

We all can see which way Dortmund are shaping to be right now. And I wonder when in the future Erling Haaland is not going to be there what will happen to this team.
Right now they seem to be absolutely nothing without Erling Haaland. And to be honest I know no this might offend some Dortmund fans but Erling Haaland deserves a better team. I know that a team cannot win without having good attackers to score goals but scoring goals are ultimately going to mean nothing if you cannot stop the opponent from scoring.

Just saw this headline "Manchester United given dream transfer opportunity for perfect £49.5m Paul Pogba replacement" on Manchestereveningnews so these guys have come to terms that its their mid field that is leaking which is contributing to their inconsistencies and one of the fixes is to get a new midfielder with a potential move of bringing in Tielemans the Belgian from leicester city.. But is this move going to happen because i see him to be instrumental to the foxes..
Actually Leicester want Youri Tielemans to stay, because Tielemans is one of the important players in the Leicester squad. But according to reports
new contract negotiations failed, as a new contract offer from Leicester was rejected by Tielemans. Because Tielemans reportedly wants to move
to a big team, besides wanting to get a high salary, Tielemans also wants to win trophies. So Leicester have no other option but to sell Tielemans
at the end of this season, because Tielemans contract will expire in 2023. And one of the most serious teams to get Tielemans is Man United.
Moreover, it is likely that Man United at the end of this season will lose Paul Pogba, whose contract expires. So the figure of Tielemans is rumored
to be suitable as a replacement for Pogba. If Tielemans were to move to Man United it would be the second Leicester player Man United have bought
in the last 5 years, after previously Harry Maguire first joined Man United.

I am actually happy to see that Manchester United have decided to make some changes to the team. But I highly doubt that Paul Pogba is the weak link of the Manchester United midfield.

If they could get Tielemans I think it is going to be a good deal for Manchester United. But I still think that they should think one more time about this and decide to sell pogba. I guess they are not wanting to lose him for free since his contract expires after 6 months. That is also probably because they bought him for a ridiculous amount of money.

Barcelona are going to play against Valencia away this weekend. And this is one of the difficult games for them actually. Because Valencia have been playing really decently in their home stadium so far in the La Liga. They could annoy Barcelona really much too. But Barcelona's performance in the recent times makes me hopeful about them to win this game anyway. They have improved it a lot compared to the start of the season. Maybe it is going to be really tough but they can still win this game by at least one goal. And I expect them to win by 2-1.
In fact, I don't see much difference in the game of Barcelona (I mean in the results) at the beginning of the championship and now https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/65/Fixtures/Spain-Barcelona They play plus or minus the same way, and the result rather depends on the state of the opponent, for example, in matches with Atlético, which they were able to beat when it was in a crisis, but at the beginning of the championship they lost to it because it played normally. Valencia is playing weakly, but in my opinion it is underestimated in this match - bookmakers give 3.65 for its victory.

Well, the situation that Barcelona is facing did not happen overnight so the improvement cannot be expected overnight too.
They must be given time to fix their game and I think even though the results don't seem very convincing the Barcelona players are motivated right now. They have been training hard and also trying to show their best in the field. But they obviously need to improve their game a lot more.

West Ham United 1-1 Newcastle United

West Ham missed the chance to grab 3 points and head back in to 4th place but now they sit still sit in 5th. Newcastle have improved since their new signings have come in therefore full credit to them for going to West Ham and taking a point after being 1-0 down.

West Ham could easily overtake Manchester United by winning this match against Newcastle United.
But they ended up getting only one point from that match. I really expected West Ham to win because Newcastle United is really a bad team at the moment and fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. And now Manchester United is going to have a big advantage of being ahead with one match less played than West Ham.

^^ Point taken but hardly a early stage because points distribution system is based on match percentage, not series and also if we look at fixtures then Pakistan and SL are playing (5) majority of their series in subcontinent, which is favorable condition to them so one would expect them to perform well in subcontinent in comparison to SENA countries.
As far as Pakistan is concerned they are trying to play series in Pakistan as not many countries are willing to travel to Pakistan. I don't think they have played much cricket in subcontinent as they never play with India and NZ along with ECB cancelled tour to Pakistan. 
Yes but pakistan play alot of cricket in UAE where conditions are quiet similar to pakistan and other parts of subcontinent. Yes you can say the pitches there are much slower and we dont see many high scoring matches there where as like in india some pitches are batting paradise.
But still there is a lot of similarity. So pakistan have played enough in these similar conditions.

The conditions might be similar but steel it's a very different thing to play in your own country and in any other. First of all, players have a psychological advantage when they are playing in their own country. Secondly, they have the support of the fans which is sometimes really crucial for any team in my opinion.
And if it actually did not matter then I think Pakistan wouldn't stick with their plan of playing at home.

There have been 3 ODIs and one T20I match in this series and India has easily won all the matches. I don't expect any exceptions in this match either. India is in good form now. But I expect a good innings from India's top order. Especially from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, I would expect a big innings.
187 runs, it is a big score. West Indies is playing good at the moment losing just two wickets. However the required run rate keeps increasing every over. I find there is more winning chance for West Indies if there is no further wicket fall. Virat Kohli's performance always play a big role in every match. This time too it is Kohli who had helped India reach 187 runs.

Today's match was a good match for India to win the T20 series against West Indies. India also used it very well as the West Indies gave India a target of 157 runs.

Rohit Sharma played a great tornado match with 40 runs off just 19 balls. Ishan Kishan has played well along with their batsmen. But none of the Caribbeans did so well. Nicholas Pooran completed quick innings of 61 off just 42 balls. The Windies' bowling line-up is in a very bad state at the moment so they can't take the match themselves.

Tomorrow there will be a match between Osasuna v Atletico, I'm still not sure Atletico will win here because in the previous match Atletico were humiliated at home by Levante. Meanwhile, Osasuna are not a weak team either and they are now only seven points apart and also, although head to head clearly Atletico dominate but in the current situation and conditions it looks like Osasuna will be able to take advantage of the moment to get full points. Considering, Osasuna in the previous match won 3-0 away to beat Rayo Vallecano and also, Osasuna managed to hold Sevilla 0-0. Therefore, I believe in this match Osasuna will get points and I hope Osasuan can win the match, but if Atletico can bounce back then maybe a draw will occur.

I think that Atletico Madrid will be really motivated to win this match after the poor result in their last outing. Osasuna also played quite well this season and I think they might go for a draw in this match against Atletico Madrid but I am sure that Atletico Madrid will go for the win. Expecting some really attacking football to be played by Atletico Madrid.

I know exactly what the Scottish league is like and what Rangers are like there. They are one of the toughest teams to beat apart from Celtic. But Borussia Dortmund's defeat to them is something that is difficult to accept considering the class between the two of them is very different and it seems to see Borussia Dortmund win more than 2 goals at Ibrox Stadium is not impossible even though it will be a little difficult.
I was shocked at the way Rangers were bottling Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund played awful until they went 3-0 down. While Rangers played their game and took advantage. Bossed the midfield and had Kent and Morelos stretching their defenders. Borussia Dortmund were pathetic defensively. They really need to fix their defensive problem. It is a waste when you have a great striker but your defenders are awful. All in all, if the 2nd leg is similar to either half, Rangers go through. Dortmund have to be at their absolute best to win by 3 goals or more. I think it’s time Dortmund start focusing on developing and keeping players something of a long term project.

I was actually quite shocked by the performance of Dortmund in this match because I expected them to win the match. And here we have a 4-2 scoreline with Dortmund losing. I think that they were good enough in the offense but the defense was really questionable. I do hope that they show a better performance in the second leg. And their defending needs to be improved ASAP.

As of now, New Zealand is leading by 230 runs. They are the WTC champions and this was expected from them. South Africa put up some resistance against India at home, but they literally got blown away and shredded to pieces in New Zealand. Once again, proves that the gap between the pig-4 and the remaining test nations is getting wider. And the irony is that the New Zealand team includes several players who had to leave South Africa because of the quota system, such as Neil Wagner and Devon Conway. 
This is the worst performance from Protease in New Zealand in last 90 years as they completely fail and all out on 95 with now New Zealand is having massive lead of 387 last tenth wickets done good damage with partnership of 94 runs.

Brilliant batting from Nicholls, Blundell and Henry now in second inning South Africa again in deep trouble with 34 for 3 with Elgar and Markarm both gone right now last hope Dusan and Buvma on crease but most chances this match is going to end on third day with an inning win for current WTC champions New Zealand a great win for their in second edition of WTC even recently South Africa done good job at home against India but here they are badly struggling.

I really don't see South Africa making a comeback in this match. The first inning collapse will hurt them throughout the match unless something magical happens, and they bowl out New Zealand in the second innings for something around a hundred.
But I don't see that happening because the pitch is becoming more batting-friendly as the days go by.

In the fourth T20 match between Sri Lanka and Australia, after winning the toss, Australia captain Aaron Finch decided to bowl. The Australian bowler bowled well in the death over. As a result, the Sri Lankan players could not give a very big target. Sri Lanka scored 139 runs in 20 overs. The Australian players are in good form now. They have won the first three matches. They will win this match as usual I think.

Australia won the match really comfortably with 6 wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare. Glenn Maxwell was named man of the match for his overall performance. He was 48 not-out in the end.
For Sri Lanka Pathum Nissanka batted well for his 46 runs. But I think the bowling of Jhye Richardson and Ashton Agar took the wind out of Sri Lanka's sail. Rather an easy win for Australia.

Atletico Madrid are just an unreliable team now. I was feeling very confident about a comfortable victory for them against Levante. But the opposite happened and Levante won by 1-0 away. I just don't get how they can't even win the easiest game ever. Their manager is still the same and they have the same game plan. But something is going terrible. And Simeone is very likely to resign at the end of the season. And I believe that Atletico Madrid really need a big change as their usual tactics don't work anymore.
Judging from the Levante match, this should be an easy match for Atletico. But don't forget that Levante also came not resigned to losing, but I think they came with more motivation. Even though they only won once before facing Atletico, they showed a determined game. They do not want to be underestimated by the big teams who are at the top of the current standings.
Levante played a classic game against Athletico, outside the single goal victory they where every where around Athletico J Oblak with 4 shots on target  against 1 shot. Athletico should work on their tactics its gradually fading because if Levante which majority underrated could win against them how much more bigger clubs

Yes same thing happen to me, I also was very confident with Atletico Madrid against Levante, the opposite happened and Levante won 1-0 Sad. This should be an easy match for Atletico.
I don't understand how Atletico Madrid can't win an easy game Huh. Yes their manager still has the same game plan and all of Atletico Madrid's tactics must be changed gradually or Atletico Madrid will fall from the top spot. Let's update the game plan and play on the field.

Bayern's next match will be against Greuther Furth. After this nerve-wracking game against Salzburg and the unexpected draw, Bayern will be training convert chances against the outsider. I don't envy Greuther Furth, the match could end in a very big defeat for them like 5-0 or 6-0. The odds of bookmakers for Bayern to win are 1.07 and the total over (2.5) is 1.14 LOL.
I think it's only natural that the bookmakers set Bayern Munich as the winner in that match with a fairly large score, Furth is not a too strong opponent for Bayern Munich, besides that Furth also has weaknesses in their defense so that until the match week 22, Furth has conceded more compared to other teams with 57 goals conceded, and of course the Furth defense will get a big test from the Bayern Munich attack line which is quite sharp this season.

Bayern Munich is going to absolutely destroy their online team in the next match. Furth is the absolute bottom team of the league and I really don't expect anything from them in the match against Bayern Munich. Yes, I think they can obviously try to give them a fight. But there is not much they can do except that.
