2481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 22, 2022, 08:05:59 PM
Actually, Ousmane Dembele has been playing really well currently. in the match against Real Madrid, I saw Ousmane Dembele making a lot of runs. he was really running freely with the ball and also without the ball in the right-wing and provided some good crosses for the team. If I remember correctly this same Ousmane Dembele was really talked shit about because he was not performing well enough.

Obviously, Barcelona had the advantage of Benzema not playing for Real Madrid. I think that's a wise decision because they have to concentrate on the match against Chelsea in the Champions League.

Xavi did the hard job and give his best to motivate his players. Since Xavi gave comment on Dembele can be the best player in the world in his position, then he used to give his absolute best and potentially create 9 assists in 12 La Liga games in spite of missing over two months with injury. Dembele and Auba combination could frame dangerous one. That is Xavi's impact, when somebody trusts in you, you do well. That can apply to anything on earth. People need people that puts stock in them to continue onward and succeed. It's the way mentor Xavi uncover their secret abilities.
Bad and bad. Sad by this result, madrid players should be embarrassed 4 goals without being able to score at the Bernabeu. Actually I was worried when Madrid lost in midfield dominance and possession. The game was controlled by Barcelona.  Pedri, De Jong and Busquets became the key to Barcelona's great game. Madrid's midfield became a weak point, so Barcelona were very free to play the ball. Benzema's absence also made Madrid weak in the final settlement. In addition, placing Modric in the False nine is also ineffective. Of course, this defeat makes Madrid's point difference even less.

It is really unbelievable If we think about Barcelona winning against Galatasaray by a really narrow margin and the same Barcelona winning the El Clasico by four goals to zero. I think it really shows how the team has changed under new management and what potential it has to go ahead in the future. It will be really interesting to see Barcelona play in the next season.
Barcelona is enjoying a wonderful period with Xavi, the win in El Clasico is the culmination of all the wins that Barcelona has a previously wond. Frankfurt must be careful with Barcelona strength, especially Aubameyang who is on fire at Barcelona front lines.
a big win in El Clasico made the Frankfurt coach breaks out in a cold sweat, a team like Real Madrid can be beaten easily with a score of 4-0 especially Frankfurt, which is not in its best form. After repeatedly watching yesterday's El Clasico, the Frankfurt coach will apply a defensive strategy against Barcelona. Maybe that's the only way to dampen attacks from Barcelona players.
But I don't think it will always be like that due to the fact that Frankfurt are in the Bundesliga this season in their first match against Bayern Munich, that Frankfurt can win the away match against the strongest team in Germany with a score of 2-1. Meanwhile, Barcelona in the UCL this season before finally becoming part of the Europa League, previously Barcelona joined in the group with Bayern Munich in the UCL group phase. Also, both of Barcelona's matches against Bayern Munich in the UCL group stage the result was a 3-0 loss but indeed, at that time Barcelona's condition was still not as good as it is now. This of course makes Xavi unable to consider the team's condition safe, because teams from Germany or the Bundesliga have power which I think can be a surprise in the match later. But yes, the condition of the team now is different but anyway, Barcelona should not underestimate Frankfurt because it is very likely to be a blunder.

Barcelona has certainly done pretty well under the new authority. They made a really good comeback when it was almost impossible to happen. And at this moment Barcelona seems to be ahead of almost every team in the Europa League.

But, obviously, if they take it easy and underestimate their opponent in the Europa League they will obviously make a mistake. Because there is nothing easy at this level of competition. But, I do believe that Barcelona is going to be the one to walk away with a win against Frankfurt.

Being Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly not always easy, especially considering the sad situation of Manchester United at the moment, plus Ronaldo is a mega star, it is certain that every mistake made by other players will have an impact on Ronaldo, news spread that almost half of Man City's players want Ronaldo to land at the Etihad Stadium, they really want to play with ronaldo, kevin de Brune once said, if ronaldo wants to join man city, he will surely spoil him with a good pass, we have to wait if Ronaldo changes his mind and wants to land at the Etihad Stadium.
Christaino Ronaldo would have been very successful in Manchester City. But his loyalty is to Manchester United fans it would be treachery for him to join their close rivals. That move woulf have made Ronald look like a mercenary. How can he play for City after having a career at Manchester United. It would be better to stay in Juventus than playing in any of the Manchester clubs.

We have been hearing a lot of transfer rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and the interesting thing is both of these rumors are linked to Manchester City somehow.
To be honest, at this moment I really don't understand if these are actually rumors or if there is even a little bit of truth behind them.
But, if I am being honest I think Cristiano Ronaldo deserves better, and so does Leonel Messi.

I really am sad for Inter on the recent weeks. They have got really bad results against much weaker competitors too and its happening very often changed things a lot for Inter. They are six points away from Milan now for example. They have an absent match and they can drop the gap to three points of course. But their recent performance doesn't seem to be promising for the future. They can certainly be left behind by Juventus soon too. Because Juventus have had a really impressive effort for weeks and this is helping them a lot to keep up with the three teams on the front.

If you look at the point table you will see Inter has only one win in their last five matches. And that is us looking not acceptable from them especially when they are fighting for the League Title, right?

Actually, they are just making it hard for themselves. They are already behind by quite a few points in the race for the League title but if they can get three points out of the match that they have in hand they are going to have a very decent chance I think.

The game between Barcelona and Frankfurt will be exciting. Barcelona already struggled against Galatasaray, so it will be interesting to see if they can regain strength. For me Barcelona was the favourite, but now I'm not so sure anymore. We‘ll see  Grin
I wouldn't say that Barcelona actually struggled against Galatasaray but it was certainly a little too close for comfort. Actually, I thought they will win by a better margin cause over 80% ball position was controlled by Barcelona at that match. Anyway, they did get the win and that's all matters.
Frankfurt is not an easy opponent for Barcelona at the moment. but I still think Barcelona is better than them. and Barcelona should win this match against Frankfurt. if they don't it will be really surprising.
Football is full of surprises, Barcelona just won 2-1 against Galatasaray and today they are playing a great game against Real. The dayform of the team also makes a big difference and Frankfurt has chances but in my opinion only very small ones. Barcelona are currently the clear favorites for the title, but surprises are always possible  Wink

It is really unbelievable If we think about Barcelona winning against Galatasaray by a really narrow margin and the same Barcelona winning the El Clasico by four goals to zero. I think it really shows how the team has changed under new management and what potential it has to go ahead in the future. It will be really interesting to see Barcelona play in the next season.

I think you said it all nicely, most of us think the same, Liverpool goes further through Benfica and City through Atletico, but can there be any surprises? Atletico plays nice football and have a nice string of victories behind them, self-confidence is at a level, and if anyone can surprise it might be them!
Nobody is talking about Villareal, it seems to everyone that it's a finished game and that Bayern has moved on! They are obviously a much stronger team with more experience, and maybe for Villarreal, the quarterfinals are a good success already!?
Chelsea is in some administrative problems due to this war situation, but the guys are playing good football, if they beat Real and move on, maybe the selling price will increase!?
I expect interesting matches, we saw some nice surprises in the last round, so I believe we will see another one, the question is which one!?

I think that the matches are going to be quite competitive because there is a reason why these teams have qualified this far into the tournament. But, I really don't think there will be many surprises. If anything I think in my opinion Chelsea is going to win the match against Real Madrid but that match could go either way. I don't say Liverpool having any problems and also not Bayern Munich.



The chances of an English club becoming a Champions League winner are very high... No doubt that Man City and Liverpool should play in the semi-finals! With Chelsea and Real Madrid there are doubts, but I think Real Madrid have a better chance of winning... Chelsea aren't having the best of times right now... Although it would be fun if they could get to the semi-finals too! Then it would be Bayern competing against three English teams...

I really don't have too much doubt about the champions trophy going to an English side this year. It really seems hard for the English teams to lose except for Chelsea versus Real Madrid. But, even then in that match, I think Chelsea is going to be the winners. If Bayern Munich does end up taking the champions League trophy it will not be surprising but it will surely be something to watch.
2487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 21, 2022, 08:38:07 PM
Juventus is getting closer to shifting the position of Inter Milan, this makes it even more interesting.
Inter have played in 29 matches while Juventus have played 30 matches, This means that the difference in points between Inter and Juve is still quite far, but if Inter continue to "draw" or "lose" then the chance for Juve to shift Inter is wide open
Inter will face Juve in the next match (next month), that will determine whether Juve can win and shift Inter's rankings
Do you actually think Juventus can be able to overtake the 3rd position from Inter? Well, it can probably happen. Because, Juventus are currently in a more better shape, unlike when they started the season. While, I won't be surprise if they beat Inter in their next match. Moreover, they will be hosting the game. Although, Inter is not a weak team, and they will struggle not to lose. But, If eventually Juve couldn't win, it won't by any means affect their position.  

It seems highly unlikely that Juventus will be able to achieve the third spot in the league. But it is obviously possible. And for that to happen they need to win consistently. At this moment they certainly seem to be in better shape than they were at the best part of the season and they have played better football. I think they will hold on to their fourth position in the league and more importantly try to stay ahead of the fifth position.

I also did some research on the APE coin, like I said APE is a memecoin that represents NFT. In the short term, when the NFT trend is "expanded", the APE token ratio will have strong growth spurts.

The APE token has certain uses but it is still a memecoin so it should be invested with caution. If you already have a profit, I think you should sell it, not keep it or buy back.

Shiba inu looks like the perfect solution to means of payment and I'm sure this will be better future doge coin, the second project in my mind is Apecoin yes this is another project that will have it's hype intact for a long period of time because of its NFTs.
ApeCoin was created by the founders of NFT Bored Ape Yatch Club collection, I find the community based project quite large and the ApeCoin Token can be used to manage the community and to Airdrop those who already own NFT BAYC.
IMO. To me, APE Token is quite similar to NFT's representative meme coin token. Co-founder Ya Siu himself also identified this as a type of MemeCoin. SHIba and memecoin we should be very cautious when investing.

Juventus are now playing with Salernitana and leading 2-0, they are unlikely to miss a victory. It turns out that only Inter from the top four lost points and now Juventus will be only one point behind (Inter have a game in hand, but it looks like the team has problems with scoring so it will be difficult to convert this game into points).
There is no use of Juventus to compete with the Inter Milan because the target is the same, namely tickets to the Champions League next season
Juventus is only focused on securing a place in the top 4 and now 10 points away from their rivals Lazio I think it's safe then just keep consistency no other mistakes
Especially now that Juventus is only focused on the local league after being eliminated in the Champions League.
It is true to say that the main focus of Juventus is to secure the 4th position but if there is a chance to finish in a better position than 4th, why not?
8 matches remaining means there are still 24 points to grab by Juventus, Milan and Napoli while Inter still has the chance to gain max 27 points.
Juventus still has the chance to win the title although just small chance but chance is still a chance and Juventus should do their best in the 8 remaining matches to keep the chance.

I think it is really not realistic to think that Juventus is going to win the league title this season. The best thing that can happen is them finishing in third place. But, I really have to say that it seems highly unlikely that Juventus is going to finish in a better position than the fourth. But, at the same time, I am quite positive that they are not going to face any problems from the teams below. if they can win consistently I think they have a chance to actually finish in third place.

Bayern Munich finally put an end to their bad streak in the league today. They destroyed Union Berlin by 4-0 in Allianz Arena and improved their morale as well. Lewandowski had an impressive performance in this game as he scored two goals. He has reached 31 goals in this season and he is like running to a new goal record. However, it is really hard to see a record this time I think. Because there are only seven games left and he needs to score at least 41 goals in total to break a new record if I'm not mistaken.

There are chances for Lewandowski for 10 more goals from 7 games as you say. Just checked across the recent matches Bayern played. Lewandowski has almost scored minum 2 goals when they scored more than 4 goals. so yes there are chances for more than 10 goals from him. He has been one of the main pillars for Bayern. I have even seen him giving lots of chances to youngsters to strike goals as well. He is worth to set up a new record. 

Bayern Munich did dominate in the last match but it was against Union Berlin. So, it was expected that they were going to dominate the match. And there was nothing surprising in my opinion. And it is going to be the same old story again. Bayern Munich is going to win the league title and Dortmund being the runner up. But if Dortmund does end up winning this match against Cologne, things might get interesting.

I hope that Salah and Liverpool can find the middle way in this contract talks. Salah is a crucial player and should never be lost by Liverpool for some more years. He has proven so many times that he can be very productive and beneficial for the team for more years too. He is one of the best footballers already now and he deserves a solid contract too. But Liverpool must be wishing his demands to be lowered a little more. And as there is still time and no need to rush things, I hope they will extend his contract sooner or later.
I don't understand Liverpool.  Mo Salah is a very good actor.  An attacker who dominates the Premier League.  He certainly deserves the best salary.  It has to be rewarded somehow.  If he doesn't renew his contract with Liverpool, other teams can give him the money he deserves.  I think Newcastle United will try to build a super squad next year.  If they open the mouth of the purse, maybe even Salah is in the possibilities.  After all, Newcastle is a team bought by the richest family in the world.

But, I wonder if Muhammad Salah really wants to go from Liverpool to Newcastle United. That surely seems like a step down for someone like Muhammad Salah.
Actually, I really think that the way he is still performing in the Liverpool squad and scoring so many goals when he has a lot of competition in the English Premier League deserves a little more money.

At the same time, I understand the concerns of Liverpool. They have to spend money carefully. I really hope to see Muhammad Salah stay in Liverpool.

After having a really tough matchup against Galatasaray, Barcelona are going to have Frankfurt as their next opponent. Frankfurt can be a dangerous team as they are a German team. But I believe Barcelona are going to make a bigger effort than the one against Galatasaray. They must do this to move their opponent out of their way quicker.
Frankfurt could be a dangerous opponent, of course, but I don't think Barcelona will allow them to be dangerous. If we compare the current performance of these two teams, then Frankfurt will be far behind. Their performance in the Bundesliga is not good. They need to improve if they want to win against Barcelona. There is no way to make Barcelona feel weak. Every player on the team is now able to play well.
But if we compare Galatasaray with Eintracht Frankfurt, I think we will agree that Eintracht Frankfurt might be at a better level compared to Galatasaray's rivalry in the local league. That way, I think Barcelona will still not be easy to qualify for the semifinals, I personally will still consider Barcelona will have difficulty against this German team and I personally am still not completely sure about Barcelona.

For me, Barcelona is obviously a better team than Frankfurt at the moment. Barcelona should be able to win in the upcoming Europa League match against them.

Obviously, if we compare Galatasaray with Frankfurt, Frankfurt might seem like a better team. but that obviously does not make them better than Barcelona, and the way Barcelona is playing I think They are not going to have too many problems beating Frankfurt. I am actually keeping a closer look for today's El Clasico match.

I think this thread may end up pumping a particular coin or few of them. You have made a lot of picks on the list. On to my pick, I think I want to choose Shiba Inu as first choice and I think Tron may also do a surprise because it started going for increase at the last bull before bitcoin dropping back.
Interest in the keyword "Buy Shiba Inu" is trending down on google.
According to CoinMarketCap data, the Shiba Inu token has suffered a “massive loss” after being turned away by more than 30,000 holders.
According to statistics from March 16 to March 17, from 1,199,453 wallet addresses holding SHIB decreased to 1,166,621 - equivalent to 2.74%. This is a significant reduction. This shows that many investors have realized that meme tokens are worthless and that they will soon disappear over time.

They can for sure.

What do people think of Russia, as a small country that won't recover or will be a big hit by those sanctions? I think that it's going to be an easy thing for them.

Just look at their allies, they have China on their back, and for sure that it will help them to cover up those sanctions if ever they can stand on their own.

But I think they will.
Sanctions left and right made Russia hard to recover from this war but knowing how huge this country and how capable they are, i think Russians will still be able to survive and recover from all these sanctions. However, with these different sanctions, Russians will find it hard to live a normal life after this war but with the help of China, things will slowly recover until all the damages from this war will only be part of history.
Before the start of the war, President Putin had a meeting with President Xi Jinping during the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The two men discussed bilateral issues and international strategic security. The two sides have called the partnership "unlimited". Showed that they were prepared for all possible scenarios and the closeness of the two sides. The Russians will not perish from sanctions, but recovery and growth will require the help of the Asian giants.

But even many Ukranians formerly came from Russia when USSR is there supporting the Russia as well and I will blame the president of Ukraine for all the Chaos because he ignored the warnings of Russia multiple times but now stranded in the middle of nowhere so the only way of ending is bowing, I am not supporting the Russia here but Ukraine president didn't understand the world politics so he went into the trap now.

War is painful and deadly. We are not from two countries where war happens, but no one wants war in peacetime. But it is clear that the president of Ukraine has trusted too much in bogus promises from western countries and ignored the warnings from president Putin, now the two are mired in an unending war.

Ukraine and Russia, no matter who wins, no one benefits. The human and economic losses will take decades to recover. As a great power, Russia will not withdraw until its goal is achieved.
2497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 19, 2022, 07:51:39 PM
Mainz literally crushed Bielefeld today by a score like 4-0 in a home game. This was a needed win for them after losing two times in a row lately. Mainz were already a solid home team and didn't surprise me here at all. Bielefeld were not a good team to compete with them at the same level. And I'm surprised about the Freiburg's result today. They should have been able to beat Greuther Furth. This has created a good chance for Leipzig to take the fourth place from Freiburg and have a two-point difference too.
Mainz yes were on fire in the 2nd half with 3 goals back to back with 1 in the 1st half at very 1st minute. What a lovely opening it was from Jonathan Burkardt. He scored 2 goals and yes ended up with 4:0 against Arminia. Arminia's performance has not been so good. Bayern has started up as usually so good with 2 goals as of now against Union Berlin in 30 minutes. So good to watch.

Wait, so 3 goals were scored by penalty kicks! How can you be so stupid to consider three penalties in one match? And how can you even concede a goal in the first minute of the match?
Anyway, Bayern Munich is just running over their opponent right now. They are 4-0 up. Lewandowski scored 2 goals. 81 minutes have been played.

That is a great thing considering how we are on the right side of the world right now...

I have not found information anywhere about $100 million in cryptocurrency that came as a donation for Ukraine. According to the official website of Aid For Ukraine https://donate.thedigital.gov.ua / over the past 21 days, approximately $55 million in cryptocurrency has been collected in total.
According to an aggregated article that I have read, it says ukraine has received almost $100 million in crypto. 60 million was transferred to the official wallet address of the Ukrainian government and the rest was transferred to the addresses of other organizations.

The bubble in the real estate market has long been predicted, there are some experts who say that in the near future this bubble will burst and make the global real estate market crash.

... but if we look at the potential of the real estate market in the long term, it is still promising, so many investors stay in this real estate market
In any market that can make a profit, there are sharks involved. The real estate market is like the gold market, it cannot crash.

The world population is increasing day by day. land cannot be created anymore, so the demand for real estate will increase every year and it will not stop.
Where I live, real estate in the countryside has increased rapidly, even increasing x2, x3 compared to before the pandemic hit. I know there are big players manipulating the market, but clearly land is something that will last over time and its value won't go away.

To summarize, we could say that they should be financially literate because doing so will increase their chances of being successful. We should guide them through the process of investing, as you can see now that technology is evolving and we must adapt to it in order to be successful in our endeavors. I believe that kids these days are easy to teach when it comes to this, and that we should simply guide them down the correct path because they do not have any previous experience in this area, allowing them to be successful.
We should be careful about our teaching though. I mean my father tried the same, tried to teach me value of money at a very early age when I was not even a teenager yet, just a child, and I learned it and I am thankful for it to him. However, this resulted with me putting money at the center of my life and react to it like the most important thing ever. I sometimes did not even care enough about my health, and still worked hard to earn.

Lately, life happened and it gave me a good lesson that says health is more important than money, and I took care of that problem before I went to back. Now I am working maybe more than ever, but I took that break and realized my health is very important. If that did not happen, I would be working from early morning until late night and probably die at early age (still could happen of course, nobody knows).
Must say life now, without money most of us will die, money is the determining factor in our life. But we should also remember one thing we are money makers, so if we don't have health then we won't make money. Health is the first thing we need to pay attention to, because with health we can do many things. Health and loved ones are two things we must not forget just for the sake of money, when a lot of money cannot be bought back.
