The table is starting to take shape at the top now, a much more familiar look to it. Sunday is so interesting in the race for the title. Who do you think will come out on top in Liverpool vs Man City.
This Premier League season, every game week is an interesting one; i say this because results are close and performances are very poor and competitive. A loss to Manchester city and a win for Manchester United this game week means Manchester City could lose their top spot. its how competitive and weird this premier league season is. Do you have a bet on who would be top of the league this game week ?
A couple of rounds ago, I would have bet on City winning because Pep Guardiola's men had a good run, but with Klopp finally reaching out to his players and Liverpool finally starting to come out of the crisis, I think it will be either a draw or a Liverpool win. It would be interesting to know if the championship will turn back into a battle between Liverpool and Manchester City, or if Manchester United will remain in the race.

Real Madrid will focus on the Champions League. This has already happened. They were 10-13 points behind Barcelona and won the Champions League at the end of the season. But now they are unlikely to succeed. Those who want to win a lot more. And other teams have more strength  will be.
It is unlikely that Real Madrid are able to achieve anything this season; i suppose coach Zidane should just focus on getting a top four position. Everything is wrong about Madrid; the attackers cannot score or create chances; the midfields cannot dominate a match; and the defensive line is one attack away from conceding; it remains to be seen if the players can turn their poor form around
Yes, looking at the standings at this point in time, it is difficult to imagine that someone from other clubs will be able to compete with Atletico Madrid who has gained cruising speed. It will be interesting to see how the club's management reacts to Real Madrid's 4th place in the league and relegation from the Champions League, as well as whether Zidane will remain as head coach, given the club's always huge ambitions.

I actually really like them odds for Stefanos Tsitsipas. On the local news here in Australia they spoke with Stefanos Tsitsipas and he said that he feels ready to go even though it was tough in quarantine. I like the way he was confident about this years AO which is why I might put $20 on him to see how he goes. We all know that he does have a good record at the AO and this could be his year.
Given how the preparation for the tournament went, I think no one will be surprised at any outcome and both the favorites of the first row can win, and other tennis players can also shoot. Although I would not be surprised that the special conditions of quarantine in Adelaide will play in favor of those who were there and someone from the three consisting of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Dominic Thiem will take the first super title of the season.

Welcome back to the Bundesliga Sami, I guess.  Cheesy
Sami Khedira returns to Germany with Hertha Berlin from Juventus after few weeks of inactivity. I think he should be able to kick on and start enjoying football once again. Class they say is permanent' Sami first match could be against league leaders Bayern Munich
An interesting return to the team going on the 15th place in the championship, not even a strong middle man, even considering the not very young age of Khedira, given that before that there were Juventus and Real Madrid. Khedira said in an interview that he wants to help Hertha achieve a major sporting success. I wonder what he meant by a major sporting success? Get out of the basement of the standings of the championship? Grin

brighton 1 - 0 tottenham
tottenham has excellent players, i don't understand why they have bad results
Tottenham hotspur has excellent players ofcourse; but they have terrible tactics; it has been stated time and time again that champions don't play negative football. Mourinho wants to win by fielding 7 players behind the ball; and for over 2 months now; it has failed. Brighton were deserved winnners; and should have won with over 5 goals, excellent defending by Aiderwielrd and saves by Lloris kept tottenham in the game. And for a second time in few days, Tottenham grant first league 2021 win to liverpool and 1st home with to Brighton.
Up next is chelsea; do you see Mourinho getting a sack ?
In fact, just at the head of Chelsea, Mourinho did everything well and turned out, so we'll see how Mourinho will play with his former team that is not indifferent to him Wink By the way, what is interesting is that Mourinho is losing to Brighton for the third time on the road and Jose has lost three away games in a row to one opponent for the first time in his coaching career. In my humble opinion, Jose instilled attacking football in his teams last time in the case of Porto, then in the rest of Mourinho's teams there was already a much more pragmatic defensive football.

I admire his motivation but not all his big fights took place at the opponent's home and he chooses to fight Wladimir Klitschko in Germany because Wladimir was the reign Champion for about 10 years and if Fury really wants to fight he must submit to his offer that's the reason why the fight happen in Germany. However, the same thing happens between him and Deontay Wilder
The pressure on taking a big task was evident in his post fight actions in my view. I have seen his talks about depression after returning and he is really inspiring, he said in one of his interviews that he met Wladimir Klitschko when he started boxing in a sauna and he said he would take the belt from him in a few years time and he truly believed that was his destiny and so is the reason he chose to beat Wladimir Klitschko in his yard but after the big fight his motivation went away as he achieved what he set out.
He wasn't the first to do this, and he wasn't the last to do it. A real great fighter can and should be considered not the one who made a great victory only once, which could happen due to an accidental combination of circumstances, but the one who was able to repeat it and it is better if he did it many times. Therefore, many are called great after a resounding victory, but in history there are only a few who were able to repeatedly conquer the top.
2567  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Cryptocurrencies Really Money? on: January 31, 2021, 11:39:35 PM
I see digital currency is just another application of native currency, while crypto currency is a type of currency with a different model from cash currency which uses a decentralized system, so it has several advantages
Yes definitely, as long as there is only one person out there who is willing to trade with you for that crypto coin you own I would consider it money. And at the moment there are a lot of different stores, casinos and companies who accept crypto currencies as a viable form of payment.
We should not forget that cryptocurrencies, unlike digital money, have not only advantages, but also certain disadvantages, such as a smaller scope of application, which do not allow cryptocurrencies to continue to expand their presence in the economy. Just the fact that cryptocurrencies are not their own national currencies and the state does not have any control over cryptocurrencies is the biggest drawback in the eyes of government officials and they are right from their point of view.
2568  Economy / Economics / Re: Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful on: January 31, 2021, 11:29:45 PM
People suffer more during lockdowns because the government can not really provide all their needs. The economy will be at risk. Why not go into new normal, wearing face shield and mask and extra careful. I dont think its more safe inside. This virus can be avoided through everyone self discipline. Although vaccines are already on the way, we cannot rely on it until proven effective.
Just at a certain stage of the pandemic, lockdown is much more effective than other methods, another question is that a lockdown that lasts too long after a certain point begins to bring more harm than good, and state authorities that impose restrictions on the movement of citizens should not forget that lockdown is a last resort, which should be used only in exceptional cases.
2569  Economy / Economics / Re: Differences between an investor and common man! on: January 31, 2021, 11:23:48 PM
Loan is a leverage and you can use it to enhance your standard of living or investment. To be a successful investor, it is about mind set and knowledge, a very good investor read a lot and most of the time look out for value, if a company is undervalued or a property is under valued they look for money to buy, but common man mostly thing about the present, how am I going to survive for today not thinking about tomorrow
Not all ordinary citizens ' desires and needs coincide with their financial capabilities, so they follow the path of least resistance and take out loans, and do not try to save and invest, especially if the income level does not allow them to think about it. Also, the fact is that not everyone has the desire, talents and patience to invest, because the question of investing is not as simple as it may seem to a person who already has experience and understands the essence of the issue.
2570  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat and cryptocurrency on: January 31, 2021, 11:04:27 PM
There’s a lot of pros and cons both with fiat money and cryptocurrency, but logically if everything goes well Cryptocurrency should be the best option but since it is still not legal on many countries, many are still force to use fiat money. Only if we have the chance to choose what we want legally, I’ll go for cryptocurrency and I also hope that this market becomes less volatile so it can be more less risky and can be good for small time buyers.
The thing with crypto currency is that in 90% of the time they are superior to the old fiat currency. It would be best for all of us to switch to cryptos and don't use FIAT anymore, however if the country goes into a crisis it might be more difficult. If there are problems with the Internet, electricity or food supply it could happen that merchants prefer real cash the can hold in their hand. Physical money however has on the value the central bank is guaranteeing.
Cryptocurrencies can have a lot of advantages in use for citizens, but when it comes to the benefits for the state, not everything already looks so clear. We can say even more that modern cryptocurrencies are not suitable for state use by 90%, just as you put it, from monetary policy to potential dependence on developers. Therefore, it is not for nothing that states are discussing and developing their own cryptocurrencies, and we hope that in an effort to provide their developments with the most-favored-nation regime, states will not embark on the path of strong restrictions or even a total ban on other cryptocurrencies.

People were expecting a lot from Trump in the beginning and got an unpleasant surprise. We tend to have big expectations at first and when facing the "bad known" we turn to the unknown, even if there's a chance it could be even worse in the end.
It should be clear to any person that usually there can be no such thing that all the wishes and expectations will necessarily come true. If we talk about the "new unknown", then it is still worth saying that the current administration can hardly be called completely unknown and familiar people work in it. Unlike the Trump administration, there is great hope that the new administration will be less impulsive and more predictable for everyone.
2572  Economy / Economics / Re: Out of Reach on: January 30, 2021, 11:46:42 PM
at $34,000 its suddenly completely out of reach for them.
Maybe if they will buy it as a whole, but if they will slowly but and complete it to a whole bitcoin, it's possible. Also, bitcoin will not always be valued at $34,000, time will possibly come that it will dump again like we witnessed in the past, so maybe wait for that instead before start buying.
Of course, the price will fall and let's hope that not at times like in the past. However, many people on the contrary would dream about it in order to have time to get on the outgoing train. Another question is to what levels the correction will occur and how long you need to wait to start buying, because instead of winning, you can lose and not all people have enough patience and faith.

Sad news, I like watching Murray but after all his injuries, he didn't get back to the top level that he had before. In my eyes, he should call it a day and retire. He had a nice career winning 3 grand slams and winning 2 times Olympic gold.
Lets hope that Federer, when he comes back out of injury, can reach his old form and win another Grand Slam.
Yeah, Murray would love to try again, given that just in his career, just missing the title at the Australia Open, but there were 5 lost finals. Former Murray we are unlikely to be able to see. In general, I was very surprised when I heard that Andy returned and continued to play, given all his health problems and what technical things the doctors did to treat his spine.

Incredible! Another match with Lewandowski goal!
What seems unimaginable  not so long ago now become more and more possible! Lewandowski has real chance to beat Gerd Muler record of 40 league goals in one season!
Would you bet for that?
I would not risk it yet, because there is still half of the championship ahead and we need to keep the pace already set and anything can happen, so I would like to wish Robert good health, because he continues to do incredible things playing in an incredible team. I wonder if he could have scored as much if he had played for Schalke? Wink

In Inter-Benevento, the first half ended up with Inter's 1-0 lead. R. Improta scored an own goal. We see that Inter were so dominant and Benevento couldn't even manage to shoot at goal. The second half has just started and I think Inter will score at least one more goal and secure their win in this game.
As expected, Inter won, and even with a big score and is only 2 points behind Milan, and Romelu Lukaku scored a double. Taking into account the victory of Juventus, the entire leading three remained with their own and the intrigue continues to twist in a new way. Let's see if Inter can again cope with Juventus only now in the fight for the cup.
2576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua on: January 30, 2021, 10:20:10 PM
You can always bet on him since he has not loss a single fight and he has some big fights in his career so that makes him so popular now.
I am not sure that a long win-win streak is necessarily a guarantee of future victory, on the contrary, the well-known probability theory states other things Wink Each series ends in most cases, and the longer the series, the more likely it is to be interrupted. Information has leaked out that each boxer will receive 100 million pounds after the end of the fight, so it is in the interests of both fighters that the fight takes place.

The squad might be losing their confidence from the last game against Sheffield. Its kinda frustating to lose against a team that only won once so that might be one of the reason but to be honest Cavani wasnt doing much in this match. He might play better as a replacement rather than starting squad ( my personal opinion )
To me i feel like this is the importance of squad depth; the Manchester United first 11 is clearly tired and fatigued; but there are no replacements in core areas; OLe has to find a way to shuffle the 11, especially the front line; for example today Manchester city rested Sterling, stones, Mahrez and Cancelo and still had an excellent match; Ole does not have such luxury and this is why squad building is vital. A good draw; the team should focus on their home tie against cunny Southampton team. The bad news is that Manchester City go 3 points clear, with a game in hand.
Nothing terrible happened and I do not think that the players of United suddenly began to feel dizzy from success, and the defeat from Sheffield all radically broke. There are still many rounds ahead and everything can still change, remembering how many teams have already managed to visit the top of the standings. At the beginning of the championship, everyone scolded Pep Guardiola, and he has already climbed to the top. As for United, on the contrary, many people, including me, were surprised by the leadership.

I know it is mathematically possible and the league is not over yet and if anyone can do it it is definitely Real Madrid since they are quite good. However at the end of the day we are talking about 10 point difference here, that means no matter how many games left and no matter how teams are, this is not going to be an easy task to achieve.
Okay, 17 matches left, they still have schedule againts Real, Barcelona, Sevilla and Villareal, if they are win at least 2 matches from this, in paper they are already keeping the title. Because another schedule not hard enough for them. the key match of course vs Barcelona and Madrid keeping 1 points for this matches I will agree if La Liga maybe for ATM.
II agree that half of the championship is still ahead and unsuccessful games with direct competitors can take away this advantage and it is still too early to talk about mathematics. Also, I would not say that Real Madrid is so good this season, as evidenced by such an early departure from the national cup, like Atletico, but Atletico is still much more stable in the championship, although of course there is time to correct the situation. And let's not forget Barcelona, which is dangerous for competitors in any condition.
2579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 29, 2021, 11:48:00 PM
We will see great draws like Inter-Juventus (February 2) and Napoli-Atalanta (February 3) in Coppa Italia. Each draw will include 2 games this time. My favorite for Inter-Juventus draw is Juventus. Inter eliminated Fiorentina and Milan.
It depends, usually, Juventus plays with "second" line players or young players in Coppa Italia, maybe not this time since they have Inter against.
For example, Ronaldo missed all games this year so far in Coppa Italia.
On the game on 2nd February Lukaku and Hakimi will miss for a penalty.
Juventus will field the main squad, including Ronaldo, of course, especially since the Portuguese player seems to have not yet won the Coppa Italia and this is also a trophy in the event of a potential failure in the championship. We can also say that Juventus has accumulated a certain debt to Inter, which can be very quickly returned, returning to a great mood for the second half of the championship Wink

Hahah, the Vettel being bald jokes are here aswell so you gotta love Bitcointalk community <3. However, I feel a little sad for the guy as Ferrari really made him bald in my opinion with all the stress that he endured for all this season. On the other side , we all know that testosterone will damage your hair at some point of your life and it seems that Vettel is no exception of this. Do you remember Hamilton's hair in 2008 ? I do ...it was worse than Vettels.
It's just that Vettel is used to being treated as a leader in his teams, and when Ferrari began to divide its attention also on Leclair, Sebastian began to get nervous and make mistakes, sometimes very stupid. However, next year there will be a change of regulations and Vettel in the new team, as well as other drivers from other teams, has a chance to go back to the first roles in the championship, because he has a certain talent available.
