Liverpool are planning to offer Senegal international Sadio Mane a new contract. The 30-year-old forward's current deal ends in 12 months. What will Mane decide? Continue to play together with your friend Salah or decide on a new challenge?
Borussia Dortmund chief Sebastian Kehl says Manchester City have not agreed a deal to sign Norwegian striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21. Does that mean that Haaland is going to Real in the end?
Bayern Munich chief executive Oliver Kahn says the club do not have the financial might to sign Haaland. Kahn also confirmed the club are in contract negotiations with Polish forward Robert Lewandowski, 33. Bayern can't bring in Haaland but the question is whether they can keep Lewandowski at the club as well?
Arsenal could let as many as 12 players leave this summer with Germany goalkeeper Bernd Leno, 30, Spain defender Hector Bellerin, 27, and France forward Alexandre Lacazette, 30, all set to depart. A lot of players are leaving. What's going on with Arsenal?
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says Croatia midfielder Luka Modric will finish his career at the club. The 36-year-old has been linked with moves to Newcastle and Manchester City. Has this finally confirmed that Modric will stay at Real until the end?

I think Sadio Mane is absolutely a great football player and he is also playing really well for Liverpool and I really don't think there need to be any changes. I expect him to stay.
I really don't know how Bayern Munich does not have the money to go for Haaland but I really think Robert Lewandowski is going to make a move to Barcelona.
And after all these, I think Real Madrid might be the destination for Haaland. Because the other player which they have been keeping an eye on is still staying at PSG.

If Leverkusen will lose some more points and games in the next weeks its possible that they dont get an Champions League spot.
Glad that Leipzig has won there game against Leverkusen as my bet was for Leipzig.
Congrats on your win!
Leverkusen has now 2 fairly easy games (Fürth, Frankfurt) which it should be able to get at least 4 points. Then the last 2 games are against the direct competition (Hoffenheim, Freiburg). I think Leverkusen will keep the 4th rank until the end, unless the mess up their game against Freiburg in the last week of the season.

Leverkusen was always going to win that match and I had no doubt about that because they were facing a team that is really struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. And now it seems to be a little easy for them because they will be facing fairly easy opponents in future matches. And I do not expect any surprises in them. I think right now there might actually have a chance to finish in the top 3.
2363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 18, 2022, 05:12:05 PM
Here the odds of the top games next week:
St.Pauli vs Darmstadt 2.6/3.5/2.6 - completely open game. Both teams were struggling a bit recently, a draw helps neither of them to reach the safe 2nd rank. I think St.Pauli will win or we'll see a draw.
Schalke 04 vs Werder Bremen 2.55/3.4/2.65 - also completely open. I think we'll see a draw here. If Schalke wins then they are pretty much through.
Nürnberg vs Sandhausen 1.8/3.8/4.2 - Nürnberg the clear favorite, but Sandhausen has been playing well against stronger teams recently. I think Nürnberg will keep its momentum and win this game.

I think all of these games are going to be close and enjoyable. It is going to be interesting to see the teams that are top of the table fight to hold onto their position or get ahead in the points table.

I think Schalke is going to stay at the top of the table and win this match because they have been playing really well in recent times. I really don't expect them to lose in this match.

But, the teams below will also want to win in their match because they also are determined to get back in the first place.
2364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 18, 2022, 01:51:50 PM
This match is going to be important for both teams but I think Kolkata Knight Riders need this win more than Rajasthan Royals because they are below Rajasthan Royals in the points table and they also have played one more match. And that certainly puts them at a disadvantage. But I doubt that is going to happen because the Royals are in better form than Kolkata Knight Riders at the moment.

KKR won the toss and decided to Bowl.

Today we can see a competitive match between Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders. After two big losses, the Kolkata Riders are very keen to compete against the Rajasthan Royals at Braburn Stadium. It’s a place where they haven’t won any IPL game. After all we are waiting to get good match between the two. However both of team are very much ambitious to win the game. According to my analysis i think,  KKR to win the game.

Mushtaq and Qadir used to bowl in 80s and early 90s, do we have such sophisticated technology and strict rules at that time? How about Saeed Ajmal ? He was also a leg spinner and doing so good before got banned for illegal action. I don't know why any bolwer from big 3 is reported.
Saeed Ajmal was chucking and he could not rectify his bowling action even after getting a second warning and that was the end of his career. If there are players who are chucking the ball he or she will be reported and will be asked to rectify their bowling action and if you think that there are bowlers that have suspicious bowling action, we will have a debate on that and i want to hear from you which bowlers are having suspicious action from big 3 according to you Tongue.

I really don't know if anyone from the big three has any suspicious bowling action. But it does look a little bit suspicious that the only bowlers are getting reported for suspicious action from outside of the Big 3. We all know that the rules of cricket are made to benefit the big three and we have seen the bowling action rules changing many times I wonder if that happened for the exact same reason.
2366  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive income : Bank interest vs staking on: April 18, 2022, 04:02:42 AM
Staking if you are holding for long term. But you should keep in mind about the volatility. You might get a 10% APY, but if the price of the coin falls by 20%, you lose 10% (if you sell. You don't lose anything if you don't sell). Bank interest gives you flat interest and the fiat currency isn't volatile. So you don't have to worry about your money in short term. But don't forget about the inflation. Your savings account will give you an interest between 1% to at best 3%, but the inflation in the long run leaves you with no profit/interest. Instead you will be losing money if you keep your funds in the bank for a long period of time. Worse if your country is facing hyper inflation.
I agree with staking as well. Volatility is one thing to keep in mind when you are staking and that is a scary thing. However, the banks are even scarier because they offer you "usually" less than what the inflation rate is. Look at the inflation rate in your nation and look at what the interest rate is, I can 100%guarantee you that it is almost always lower.

It means that even though your money goes up, that means your profit doesn't go up and even though the amount looks higher, the value of that amount is lower. This is why bank savings means that it has nothing to do with profiting, you are actually losing money when you think you are earning.

You have your security with your funds when you put it in banks. Whereas, with staking, it depends on the platform where you send your coins. How sure are you that they will not abandon the project? Good if for example, you are staking under binance. But with staking platforms offering high roi, I would doubt their longevity in the business. Also, you need to consider the coin you want to stake. Are they going to continue the increase of price or will its value decline after months and months of staking. There are pros and cons on both sides. Now, it is up to you how you will take those risks.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. The biggest risk of staking is choosing a reliable project to place an staking is not easy. Choosing a coin to stake it is like we have to research, screen and monitor a project for us to invest in. If that coin keeps falling in price, cannot even survive a period of development. It's quite normal for us to lose.

Bank savings obviously our money will be more secure but in the long run our money also depreciates because of inevitable inflation.
2367  Economy / Economics / Re: Im ready to adond all banks and my friends also dont need banks anymore on: April 18, 2022, 03:38:29 AM
Op, good for you if that's really the case, and you can abandon banks. I know that I can't, not under current conditions. In my country, you need a bank account to receive a salary, it's obligatory in most places. Now, I'm doing some research, and to receive my grant I also, of course, needed a bank account. Also, I need it often to pay for important things online, such as to help my relatives right now, who are in Ukraine, and I often need to send money to someone's bank account (I could send BTC if they accepted BTC, but they don't). So I could abandon banks if there was enough freedom in terms of how to get a salary and how to pay for things online, but not right now, based on how things are done.
Unfortunately this is not a move that most people can make, where I live the amount of businesses accepting bitcoin are extremely limited, plus my salary is directly deposited to my bank account so I have no way to disconnect from the banking system, however that does not mean that I do not have taken some steps to rely less and less on them, but the day in which I can cut all ties to banks is still very far away for me and I do not see this happening even if a whole decade passed.

Yes, if another decade goes by, banks will still exist and are necessary for us. Honestly Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular and accepted, but that doesn't mean Bitcoin is accepted everywhere, there are still a lot of countries and businesses that don't use bitcoin yet. Banking and fiat money are still the mainstay of the economy today. Thanks to Bitcoin, we can only reduce our dependence on banks. Instead of us investing and saving in the bank, Bitcoin is becoming an alternative in this case.

There was surprising results in this round with Derby winning against first placed Fulham but Reading also won against Sheffield Utd, so they are keeping distance from relegation zone and Derby.
My main picks for this round Huddersfield and Blackburn failed to win in their matches and this complicates situation for play-off zone and Premier league promotion.
Interesting in Championship is that difference from third place to twelve place is only ten points, that makes fight for play-off zone very unpredictable.

Fulham is facing some unexpected loss but I think it doesn't matter at the moment because they are still quite some points ahead of the second team and the lead is quite comfortable.
I still think that Fulham is going to be promoted to the Premier League. The question is whale Bournemouth and Huddersfield be able to hold on to their position which seems highly unlikely at the moment.

The match has been ended and if Besiktas could able to win this match somehow then they would have been able to get really close to the fourth spot but the problem is after that all the other teams will have won the matches at hand and they will have to wait and see what transpires in those matches.

I thought Besiktas was somehow able to win this match because Giresunspor is currently fighting to stay out of the relegation zone, bad luck the match has ended up by drawing.

The race for fourth place is coming to an end. This week all contenders lost points and Beşiktaş have a clear path. If they beat Giresunspor they would take advantage.
Başakşehir dropped two points in last minutes against Altay. Ceyhun Gülselam hit them with a long shot. Adana Demirspor is destroyed by Kasımpaşa with four goals today. They shouldn't be in first sheet anyway. Balotelli finally saw a red card. It should've been his fourth red at least but referees protected him all league long. Alanyaspor lost to Antalyaspor which has the greatest form lately. Now it's time for Beşiktaş, we will see if they use this advantage or will they turn it down.

This team just faced a lot of ups and downs this season and I think in the middle of the season they wear a little consistent but other than that they have been inconsistent throughout the whole season.

If I remember correctly I did not even think that they are going to finish in the top four. But now when they had a chance of doing a lot better than just finishing in the fourth spot they suddenly have problems winning matches against weaker opponents. something has to change.

this season juventus was a team that just became a big joke, they were already almost reaching the relegation teams, then they managed to recover and even I had expectations that they could go far, but strange that in the last games they are disappointing, and in this game against bologna it was regrettable, juventus was losing and only managed to score 1 goal thanks to the misfortune that bologna had to be reduced players. juventus has become a joke. That way they won't get far in the next season, they need to do something to change this scenario
2371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 17, 2022, 07:05:05 PM
Wow Atletico could still change the score in the last minute and yes, in the end Atletico managed to win the match dramatically, I thought Atletico had no more chances and would have ended in a draw but guess that didn't happen. Atletico's victory did not change its position in the standings, but with this victory at least Atletico still have a chance to be able to take over the position above it.
Atletico match with Espanyol is a game of the giants, whereby the supporting side isn't giving indications for a winning but rather performing a draw game match, it surprises me because the last minutes in every match is what raised my expectations the most, because i believe that's the only last chance to make a difference, that last minute goal Atletico had on Espanyol ended the match in a victory for Atletico, their two goals couldn't have come ordinarily as expected.

The match has ended and Atletico Madrid is the winner of this match. It actually would have been a shock for me if Atletico Madrid did end up losing that match.

But I think Atletico Madrid was really lucky to win that match because they had a penalty kick in the 92nd minute of that match. which eventually proved to be the winner for them in that match. But, to be honest I expected domination from Atletico Madrid but it was quiet even in my opinion.

If you want to invest, you should invest in knowledge first then you can decide for yourself which coin to invest in without anyone's advice.
And if you still need some of our advice, we can only tell you that Bitcoin is the perfect choice as it is the king of crypto. Second, ETH is the altcoin worth investing in after Bitcoin. These will be 2 extremely safe options for beginners like you. Absolutely do not listen to the charm of new projects, projects that have not been verified and have no name with promises of assets x100, they are all scams so stay away from them.
2373  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold , Silver Or Crypto? on: April 16, 2022, 02:36:35 PM
Gold is the first priority of investment, this is because wherever and whenever gold will continue to be received, gold investment has occurred since thousands of years ago and will last for thousands of years, after gold of course I will choose crypto because the profit opportunity is very large and has been proven that by only holding crypto for the long term can get big profits.
Just because it has been around for thousands of years doesn't mean that it is a good investment. In fact, I would rather say that gold is one of the worst investments right now because of how boring it is. When everything goes up, gold goes up very little, and the good thing is when everything goes down it goes down very little as well.

This allows you to not make a big loss and I understand that, but it also causes you to lose a lot of money at the same from the potential profit. Just check from any time to today on how would you fare if you had gold and if you had bitcoin. If you go back, it would be bitcoin very easily, but if you pick close levels, it’s still better.

Gold is more suitable as a store of assets than as a viable investment because the volatility of gold is not so great. As an investor and looking for profit, I still prefer to invest in cryptocurrencies because of their high volatility. They can easily bring big profits but can also make us lose, but as an investment there must be winners and losers depending on the bravery of each individual.
2374  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price stay above $40000? on: April 16, 2022, 02:23:12 PM
I hope it will stay above 40k$, but if it goes down theres nothing we can do we need to hold or else we will loss golden rule is never sale at loss holding is the most important in crypto, if you don't have a strong hands to hold then do trading daily to avoid losing holding really needs a big patience.

40k resistance level is considered important during this period, if Bitcoin is not maintained at 40k and falls below 40k perhaps the market will have a strong dump maybe 35k$ before Bitcoin dropped to 30k. Sometimes the market falls, we only hold and wait for the market to rise again, but if it is a wise investor when the falling market will be a great opportunity to own Bitcoin at cheap prices.
2375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia Sanctions Will Spur the Adoption of Crypto and Reduce USD Dominance - IMF on: April 15, 2022, 02:45:45 PM
Wouldn't you think EU and US won't do something about this? Since their effort of sanctions won't affect russia? Well, russia is used to it already.

I think if this really happen, these oldies in EU and US will take all the blame to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it might be something stupid to think but it's possible to change their regulations and even totally ban bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in their jurisdictions for these reasons. Idk, hope it won't happen.
Indeed, the war between Russia and Ukraine has pushed crypto to new heights, surely other countries have seen the benefits of crypto in war or will use crypto to evade sanctions. But it will not be good news if cryptocurrencies weaken the strength of USD and EURO, US and EU will not sit idly by and let their currencies lose their dominant position.
They will have regulations that even embargo bitcoin and crypto, they will never be able to kill crypto but with the embargo from the US and the EU will have a huge impact on the development of crypto.
2376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are your coins really safe stored in your wallet? on: April 15, 2022, 02:31:09 PM
I had recently been thinking about how really safe bitcoins or/and other alt coins are when stored in your wallet.
With fiat currency, financial institutions; mostly banks go all out with the notion that their institutions are safe and their vaults are top notch yet they still fall prey to bank robbers who would cart away valuables from the vault.
How safe then are the wallets used in storing coins? And if they could at any time and in any way be compromised hence losing your bitcoins

You know that nothing is absolutely safe even when you deposit money in the bank. The security of your coins depends on your choice of wallet and where you store your keys. The best way is that you should choose for yourself a hardware wallet, hardware wallet is considered the safest solution today to store coins and your job is to keep the key where you think is the safest. That's all we can do.

It is very difficult to find a pure group to discuss or share experiences in the market, they are almost impossible to find.
2378  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think about staking? on: April 14, 2022, 03:14:10 PM
Staking is a good way to increase the amount of the assets by holding for some periods. Before you stake, you need to know that the rewards need some time to increase and sometimes, when the price increase but you do not earn much amount so you still need to wait for more.
In investing we normally earn a profit once the value of the coins increases but on staking we can earn less once the price of the coins increases? So that means, the only way to earn huge is when the price of the coin decreases? ah so staking is like the opposite of investing.

We can include staking in our investing activity so that whatever happens with the price, either it will rise or fall, we can still expect to earn a profit. We should only be wise though and cash out the profits once we think its already sufficient so that we won't lose it eventually. We can always start again at the beginning by putting smaller amounts, rinse and repeat.

Usually an investor chooses to staking, they will not be interested in the short-term price increase. Staking helps us to increase the number of coins we hold, is a form of passive income when someone doesn't have time for day trading or they prefer to be safe.

The staking will not be able to give quick returns like investing or day trading but it is safe and idle.

If you are a savvy investor and want to maximize your profits, you should combine the two. This will help you stay flexible and not passive.
2379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: April 14, 2022, 02:44:51 PM
Many people can't do that, yes, Buy Low sell High, because that action is a difficult action for traders,
I also experienced it, even I always buy high sell low haha, it's a bit stupid, but if you have trading skills,
I sure you can avoid it. oh yeah, make sure you don't put 100% capital into one coin or token, share it with others, and do well.
It's easy to say but not so easy to do. Anyone entering the market sets the goal of buying low and selling high, but the market is unpredictable, buy high and sell low I think everyone has experienced it. Grin Grin.
In trading, I think it is essential that we always come up with a clear trading plan, curbing our greed and emotions. Then we can avoid the market trap.

Bitcoin is designed to be owned by us and make us our own bank without any third party interference. If you use the holding service, it is no different than you depositing your money in the bank. In addition to sending bitcoin to holding services will make it impossible for you to sell or use your bitcoin while your bitcoin deposit period has not ended, better hold your bitcoin and you can use them whenever you want.
