261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 08, 2024, 04:08:19 PM
Real Madrid are big guns in Europe and they’re also great and top when it comes to their league. It’s quite surprising how they’ve managed to still remain top and unbeaten without having a striker. It shows how good Ancelloti is in managing this boys, he really helped in bringing out their best this currently and currently they're performing beyond expectations,  Madrid would go far in all competitions this season.

 That’s a quality of a good team headed by a quality coach and that makes them a threat both in Europe and in the Spanish League. Don Carlo knows how best to rotate this team and get the best from all the players. For their Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday, I’ll be giving Real Madrid the upper hands against City Rivals, Athletico Madrid. Because ReAl is better in almost everything and Althletico isn’t really much of a match to them.

I looked at the line-up against and I was really surprised by the players Ancelotti chose for that match. This means that they don't field several goal-scoring players but they are able to win the match. Arandina is not a top club but I think Don Carlo is quite smart in setting strategy and rotating players. But still without a pure striker but being able to dominate the league really makes me appreciate what Ancelotti is doing. Although I have doubts about the Champions League because we know that the level of matches there is much more competitive.

I disagree! No coach in the world can magically change any team within a short period of time. Saying that there is no doubt is probably because it is unlikely anyway that they don't qualify and I would now have no doubt either no matter who the coach is as so many teams do qualify from the CONMEBOL area. But Ancelotti could have changed a few things for the better for sure, but he made a well considered choice. I think it is no coincidence that he decided against coaching Brazil as he can see with his own eyes what is going on. He has no reason to leave a top team like Real Madrid to coach a weak team like Brazil. Brazil is really far from what they are usually able to play.

It seems that this time I agree with you about naming Brazil as a weak team. Brazil today is really very different from the Brazil we know. I can say that they will no longer be favored in the 2026 world cup. Now we look at the Brazilian squad list, are there any players we know? Is there a player who is a star player at his club? I do not think so. It is very sad when looking at Brazil today because I enjoyed my childhood with the samba dance of the players.

Theoretically speaking if you could predict the algorithm in an online casino wouldn't you be able to predict the game and win a lot let's just say you had access to the algorithm and you were able to replicate it you would practically be able to win all the games

If that happens, of course the host will realize there is something strange about your activities at the casino. Your account will be checked and your account may even be frozen. I don't think there is any way to rig a casino because it is a business and businesses are designed to bring in profits for the host. There are several possibilities where you will win the jackpot but to be honest I personally prefer sports betting to online casino games.

Correct. Getting a better striker might indeed be a solution. But the problem is that in the mid-season transfer market it is very difficult to get good players in the transfer market. Because of course all the great players will be retained by each club until the season ends. Unless it makes a high offer that is difficult for the targeted club and player to refuse.

If Arsenal cannot bring in a new, better striker, then Arteta's task will definitely become tougher because he has to maximize the current striker. And actually Arsenal's strikers were also very good at first. His quality has been proven at the start of this season with Arsenal and also in the previous season. It's just that I don't know what's happening now that all the front line players seem to be together and not as sharp as usual.

That can happen because we know that maintaining consistency at the top level is very difficult for any player. I see that currently Arsenal does not have a striker who is able to maintain their level of play. Examples of strikers who are able to be consistent with their performance are Kane, Mbappe and Haaland. I can't mention all the strikers but the fact is that currently Arsenal's strikers are still inconsistent with their game and this is a tough task for Arteta if he wants to appear competitive and win the title.

There has been no official news, but leaks say that Mbappe has already signed a contract with Real Madrid (the transfer will take place in the summer). Now there is no official announcement of this news, since apparently Mbappe wants to calmly finish the season for PSG and calmly leave without scandals and conflicts with the fans. Or maybe this news will be announced after Real and PSG either play each other in the Champions League or avoid this possibility (one of the clubs is eliminated).

Even though this is still a rumor, what you say sounds reasonable. Because if this news leaks to the public, it will certainly cause a tremendous uproar at PSG. Mbappe will be uncomfortable playing and staying at PSG because he will definitely be booed by PSG fans. Especially if they face Real Madrid in the Champions League and PSG lose. So any excuse will not be accepted other than insults to Mbappe because he will be accused of not playing seriously. Honestly, I hope these rumors become facts because I want to see Mbappe's performance in a more competitive league.

Some cool new fights were announced recently. Dustin Poirier vs Benoît Saint Denis on UFC 299. And Arman Tsarukyan vs Charles Oliveira on UFC 300. While first fight looks a bit unusual to see, top3 vs top12 (even though I love to see fresh blood in a fight among top of the top), Tsarukyan vs Oliveira looks very promising. Both are after beating Dariush. BJJ master Oliveiravs vs one of Makhachevs hardest opponents. Winner going to have a title fight after, 99,99% sure with that.

What I'm curious about is why Tsarukyan didn't fight Islam straight away and he had to fight Oliveira first for the belt? Is this because Oliveira's previous fight was canceled and Volks replaced him? But that feels unfair to Arman because if he loses then he has to postpone the fight for the belt. I think that Arman will win that match but of course we can't underestimate Oliveira because we know that even though Oliveira is weak in wrestling he is very strong when fighting on the ground.

If you look at their games, I think the general impression that Manchester City is not quite as sharp in their games as they used to be half a year ago is not misleading. Manchester City is a nuance weaker than they were before. They still dominate the game in terms of ball possession, but I am missing the dominance in all aspects of their game. They are sometimes really close to failing or losing control over the game and that is something they are not used to.
Still the quality they have is indisputable and it makes them the favorite in all competitions they play.

I think losing KDB really has a big impact on City's performance in every game. It looks like they haven't found a player who can replace Kevin De Bruyne's role in the middle of the field. Without De Bruyne, Manchester City's ball flow feels a little different. I felt like City were trying to dominate the match but there were no dangerous passes into the opponent's goal like De Bruyne did. Silva, Foden and Grealish are good but it seems they are not ready to cover the empty gap left by KDB.

Last season's defending champions are nowhere to be found, yes that would be Sevilla who had to return home early from the Champions League without being able to participate in the Europa League. They are very famous in the European League, because they are recorded as champions here very often. Last season they also proved that they are a club that can compete in the European League and beat AS Roma in the final. But unfortunately they are now not here to spread threats to other clubs.
This season Sevilla are very worrying, they are not like the Sevilla I saw before. They are struggling to perform well in the matches they play. In La Liga they are now 16th, which doesn't speak well for a club that has won Europa League titles before.

Sevilla has really performed poorly this season. They are very different from last season where last season they were able to appear quite competitive in the League. I was surprised that they didn't make it to the European league because we know that Sevilla is very famous in the European league. But it seems like this season they can't do much because I think they have a little problem in their squad. I remember there is a saying that an average team will usually find it difficult to appear competitive in every season. I think there is some truth to this theory with Sevilla's performance this season compared to last season.

In the Bundesliga currently there are 2 coaches who are recognized as the best coaches at the moment, Tuchel and Xabi Alonso, but on the other hand, there are also players who are being favored and are often talked about, namely Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and Guirassy from Stuttgart.
This means that currently there competition between these three clubs, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Stuttgart, which will continue to compete for the title in Bundesliga, even though Stuttgart is not very strong, but as long as it has scorer like Guirassy, there is definitely an opportunity for Stuttgart to become a challenger for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich..
I feel that the competition in the Bundesliga very interesting and very tight because there are 3 clubs competing competitively and Bayern Munich still has a chance to reclaim first place, but for the time being I see that Tuchel focused on winning the trophy in Champions League.

I applaud Xabi Alonso for being able to bring Leverkusen to the lead in the Bundesliga even though there is only a 4 point difference with Munich. This means that Leverkusen's chance of becoming champions is not completely guaranteed, but I still appreciate Alonso as a coach who is able to make Leverkusen one of the strongest teams in the league today. And I agree with what you said that Tuchel could now focus on the Champions League because Munich is also one of the favorite teams to win. I think Xabi knows that the Champions League is a bit difficult this season so they will focus on the Bundesliga and getting the championship trophy.

PSG having a 9 goal margin win isn’t one less of expectations but still we must credit the players and the coach. Kylian got a hat trick to add to his list of career hattricks and it’s really great to see the youngster always turning up, he has really helped this PSG side to be successful this season despite the threat from cubs like Nice and Monaco who made everyone think PSG would miss out on the league trophy this season.

It was truly an extraordinary result. Even though I also expect that they will definitely win the match, getting 9 goals is not an easy thing. This is an achievement that really deserves appreciation. And talking about their chances in the League I have already said that this season no one doubts that PSG will win the French league. NICE has performed well this season but they will not be able to catch PSG in the League because I think NICE is at risk of appearing inconsistent in the second half of the season,

I think you might be a bit too harsh for Volk. Remember that he agreed to fight the best pound-for-pound fighter in a world, in a higher weight class and on a very short notice. And who knows how would he do if not for that head kick.

Volk was fighting a player who had a class one level above him. This means Volk will have to fight at his natural weight class at the moment. I mention this moment because we know Volk once weighed the same as a heavyweight fighter. So Volk fights at his natural weight and on the other hand Makhacev fights at the same weight as a welterweight or even middle weight fighter. We know that Islam is the same as Khabib in that they have a natural weight far above lightweight. So this will be different from the fight against Topuria later where they will fight in the same class.

Of course if Mohammed Salah leaves and is replace by Kylian Mbappe it won't be a big problem for Liverpool but unfortunately there are many clubs who want Mbappe such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal so at least Liverpool must reach a definite agreement before taking step to sell Salah because it is feared that the dream of recruiting Mbappe will not come true.

The question is whether Liverpool can make a good offer that attracts Mbappe's interest. We know that currently Mbappe is one of the best strikers in the world. And we also know that Mbappe has liked Real Madrid since childhood. And we also know that Mbappe has a fantastic salary. Can Liverpool provide something worthy for Mbappe to want to join the Reds? Are Liverpool thinking about giving Mbappe a huge salary? We know Mbappe is a selfish player so can Klopp handle Mbappe with his selfish nature?

Same with you Cheesy even though Leverkusen and Xabi are still in a very extraordinary condition but of course in this case we cannot exaggerate at this time as if Leverkusen has become the champion because after all, at this time the situation of Leverkusen and Bayern is still in competition so we cannot exaggerate it..

If you look at the current point difference, it is only 4 points behind. I think it's only a matter of time until Munich returns to chasing these points and even becomes champion. I don't doubt the performance of Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso, but we are aware that Munich is truly a candidate to win number one in the Bundesliga. And when it comes to the European league, I think everyone agrees that many people talk about Liverpool's best chance of becoming champions. This is not who the champion is, but this is who has the greatest chance of becoming champion.

Staying in totenham will become a set back for his career as so many times we have seen former of totenham players were being very successful in their new club like kyle walker. So, no reason for dier to reject it and he can perform even better than before. Im willing to see kane's response regarding the transfer of his friend to the bayern.
Kane was also playing a very important role to convince him to join in bayern.

To be honest, it would be nice to see Eric Dier join Munich because it means Kane will have a friend from his old club. And we also know that Dier can definitely support Kane better because they have worked together before. As you said, this is a good choice for Dier's future career because we see that several Tottenham players will indeed be successful when playing for other clubs.

and this could happen to PSG because I don't doubt PSG's finances which might be able to make an offer to Haaland worth 100 million dollars will definitely make the player think deeper and possibly accept the offer from PSG.
Regarding Mbappe's departure, I am ready to see him go because he has provided many good achievements for PSG and it is time for Mbappe to look for another challenge with a bigger club to get the title he wants.

But if it was PSG I think Haaland would think about signing with them. You have mentioned yourself that Mbappe chose to leave PSG because he wanted to look for another challenge. Actually I don't think there is a difficult challenge at PSG for players like Mbappe or Haaland. If Haaland plays for PSG then he will do what Mbappe did where Haaland will win several Ligue 1 trophies and it will be difficult to compete in the Champions League.

There is no doubt this was shocking defeat but still this is not happening first time in soccer history because we have long list of defeats like these in many leagues as big giant teams lost to unknown teams with currently, we all know Ajax is having troubling time, and they are trying to rebuild themselves for the better future in Eredivisie so we can expect results like these from them..

Your words are correct. We often see big teams losing against teams from amateur leagues. This also often happens in the English league during the FA Cup competition. Big teams such as City, Arsenal or Chelsea have lost to teams in the third caste in domestic competitions. It's just that a defeat like this will still be surprising and will make everyone see what caused the defeat. I feel that currently Ajax is building a better squad and I think at the moment they don't have any targets other than trying not to get relegated.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 04, 2024, 09:48:05 AM
Both of them are too small (height/reach) to stay at 185, so it's almost definitely a one-off thing.

The reason why McGregor invited the fight at 185 is because currently McGregor has big muscles which are equivalent to weighing 185 or even more. Lastly, I saw that there was a clear difference in McGregor's current physique. And I'm sure he won't be able to reach Lightweigt's weight, that's why he asked for the fight to be held at 185. On the other hand, Conor also has the advantage that for the 185 class, Chandler has to increase his weight and we know that fighters who increase their weight often don't end up winning, unless if that is your natural weight. This could look like when Adesanya moves up to 205 and Pereira moves up to 205. We know Adesanya is too skinny there while Pereira does have a natural weight above 205.

Kylian Mbappe is available for sale if PSG receive the right offer instead of him leaving for free once his contract expires. Kylian Mbappe is reportedly going to leave for Real Madrid as has always been discussed, but if Arsenal can fulfill PSG's request for Mbappe's value then PSG could release him to Arsenal.

Mbappe has received various great privileges and benefits while at PSG. Of course it will not be easy for Arsenal to get Mbappe's signature. Unless there is something like Mbappe who wants to compete with Haaland in the English league but I think that's impossible to happen. Real Madrid has been Mbappe's dream club since he was a child, so it is possible that Mbappe received a salary that was lower than what he received at PSG. I see Mbappe wanting to play in a more competitive league and wanting to write his name in history. Because to be honest, playing in Ligue 1 will make Mbappe waste his prime because currently there are other leagues that are more competitive and can prove Mbappe's quality to the world that he is one of the best strikers in the world today.

It is still too early to expect some surprises in the Europa League or in the Conference League, because those things will probably happen in the round of 16 and also in the round of eight later in the Europa League and also in the Conference League. So everyone can just enjoy the match as usual here in the Europa League before seeing the surprise that makes a big team eliminated by a small team, but for now I still don't think that that will happen again this season because there are a lot of big teams who will try not to be eliminated so that they can make the competition in the European League this season even fiercer than last season.

Yes I agree with you. Currently the Champions League and European leagues are on holiday for several weeks. We can't expect any surprises from the group stage. Because so far those who have qualified for the round of 16 are the teams that were predicted to qualify from the start. Although there are some small changes such as Copenhagen qualifying ahead of Galatasaray but the real surprise could happen in the last 16 and subsequent rounds. I'm looking forward to some interesting matches in the European League and Champions League. Can't wait for February.

At least, although it is not easy for Bayern Munich to get many trophies, but Kane has played in the right team compared to Tottenham. Therefore, I think Kane will be more consistent in scoring a lot of goals at Bayern Munich because ya, Bayern Munich has good passers in midfield and that will be a factor for Kane to score more goals more easily.

That's the point. Tottenham is also a big club in the English league but they lack players who can distribute the ball forward. Kane is a great finisher. All he needs is to get the ball in front of the goal which he will convert into a goal. I think Munich has a good history with single strikers. This can be seen from how Lewandowski performed very well as a striker in Munich. Maybe Munich's style of play really suits the needs of a finisher on the front lines.
