The World biggest cricket League Pakistan Super League (PSL)  Season 7, 2022 is starting from tomorrow. The matches will be played in Karachi and Lahore. The atmosphere is electric and the hype is at its best.

Below is the official theme for this year PSL. A must Watch  Smiley


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdxMc06WvqI

Psl starts from tomorrow and I am really excited about it. Especially with all the overseas players who are playing in this PSL. Players like Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, etc are going to play in this year's PSL.

The first match is tomorrow which is Karachi Kings vs Multan sultans. The match starts at 3.00 p.m.(CET) I am expecting some fireworks in this year's PSL. Let's hope that the PSL and the players can deliver.

I am also interested to see how overseas players perform under these conditions. And also hoping to see the young fast bowlers that Pakistan are producing. We all know that the pipeline of Pakistani fast bowlers are really strong. And maybe some young batsmen are being motivated to see Babar Azam and improve their batting.

Five matches are starting soon in EFL Championship and they are not easy to predict at all.
If I had to pick one match I would say that odds for QPR winning afainst Swanseas is nice but they are missing some players because of AFCON and injuries.
Coventry is better in h2h matches with Stoke so this vould be home win, and Luton is favorite against Bristol but I don't like low odds.
Birmingham -Peterborough
Coventry - Stoke
Nottingham - Barnsley
Birmingham should win against Peterborough as they have done better and actually really well, to be honest than Peterborough in the league.
And between Nottingham and Barnsley, Nottingham should be the easy winners as Barnsley is currently at the bottom of the league. So these two matches should be an easy prediction.


Coventry - Stoke game is one of the most exciting games today I think. I'm expecting it to be really competitive. Stoke are only one point ahead of Coventry in the league standings now. Their recent forms in the last five weeks of the league were similar to each other. Their last head-to-head games ended really close. Stoke weren't able to win any of those games. I mean their last three head-to-heads by the way. The game has just started and I feel like this is Stoke's time to win.
I think in this match stoke has similar chances of winning against Coventry. Both of them are looking quite the same in terms of points and also form. But I also think that stokes is going to be better prepared this time they don't have a really successful record against Coventry.

Here We Go
Surprisingly Anthony Martial officially joined Sevilla on loan option until the end of the season without a buyout clause. Manchester United benefit from this transfer because of all Anthony Martial's salary will be paid in full by Sevilla for at least the next 6 months. It was a very surprising transfer because Sevilla had never had any rumors of wanting to borrow Anthony Martial, previously the player was rumored to be moving to Juventus and Newcastle United but Sevilla became Martial's option for the next 6 months.

Source from tweet Fabrizio Romano
This is quite good news for Sevilla fans and on the contrary it is disappointing news for Juventus fans.
On this january, Juventus actually really wanted to borrow Martial until the end of the season, but it was Sevilla who managed to get Martial at this time and sevilla dare to pay martial for 6 million euros, including the costs and wages of martial arts for 6 months.
Sevilla, who are currently competing for the La Liga title with Madrid, will certainly get additional energy to face the rest of the season, as well as Martial, who again has the opportunity to show his best performance as a striker.

@TopT3ns, That was really surprising but I think in the meantime Anthony Martial can get some crucial playtime which will be really beneficial for him. We know that in Manchester United he was not getting the amount of time he was supposed to or hoping for.

But I really thought that he would have opted for Barcelona or Juventus. But for the next six months, he will be playing for Sevilla.

@poldanmig, Obviously, it is going to be really good for both Sevilla and Martial because now on martial's end he can get more playtime which he always wanted and Sevilla will be much stronger and more confident to beat Real Madrid and win the La Liga title. After giving this a thought I really think that this was actually the right decision by Anthony Martial.

True, the points gap between Real Madrid and Sevilla is still very affordable with a few games.  However, Sevilla's journey was very concerning with the play only ending in a draw.  even though the team they played against was only in 12th position in the standings.  If their strategy is not strengthened, it is possible that the chances of winning in this league are getting further and further away.  They are lucky that Real Madrid did the same so the gap is not that big.  But this could have an impact if Real Madrid immediately fix the pattern.
La Liga and all competitions in Europe are closed for one week due to the FIFA match day agenda and it makes clubs have to release players for their countries, which is quite difficult, especially for Madrid, currently not safe in the first position of the standings, plus Madrid in the next two weeks. will play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and it is very risky if the player returns to the club injured. FIFA matchday will take place this week and Madrid will return to play in La Liga next week on February 7, against Granada.
I wouldn't need to worry about Real Madrid, they have a B team that is almost as good as the bottom half of the La Liga.
Plus, Covid showed us the big teams like Real Madrid have no problems in calling for postponements, we already saw before the winter break that they easily made applications for exemptions and games got postponed.
So the rest will almost be good for them, except that of course it creates congestion later on.
although Madrid has good second-tier players, even as good as their first team. did not rule out Madrid will be exhausted if they face a team that is even far below it.
the competition schedule is too tight, this makes teams with star players certainly experience problems. The lack of player rest time is the main reason why many players will miss the first match after defending their country.
but this problem is not only Madrid's but it must also be seen fairly for all clubs.

I think this is something which is always causing a lot of teams headaches. And teams always have to think about how to properly rotate players and give them the proper rest that they need. This also creates a chance for the other players to play for the team and make a name out of it.

But when it comes to the big stage then it is certainly a problem. And almost all the teams are going to face this type of problem, not only Real Madrid.
2645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 25, 2022, 08:53:54 AM
it certainly would be interesting to see the fixtures being different.
There are chances for missing out for India-Pakistan clash if these countries are not in same group hence the schedule is always in making sure of putting them into same group hence they will have at least one meet for high voltage hype to get all possible highest cricketing revenues. I am not expecting a different kind of fixture at any time soon on all ICC events.

Yeah, that's true and for some reason, people never seem to get enough of India versus Pakistan. And it will be quite interesting to see how India does against Pakistan because India is not in the best shape right now and Pakistan in recent times is doing quite well.

But what I was trying to point out is what if the fixture was like somehow Pakistan versus India could be the final match?

That would get much more revenue for ICC for sure. But there comes that risk factor and even though I say that they should make fixtures like that I also know that ICC is going to play it safe now.

2647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: January 24, 2022, 04:36:33 PM
Great idea. Just in this case, the second round of qualification (global) will be a kind of world championship for weak teams. And I would love to see how, for example, "average" teams in Africa play against similar teams from America, Europe and Oceania. It would be super interesting. I think everyone is tired of watching the teams constantly boil in the same cauldron of confederation tournaments.
Surely it's very good and acceptable idea, but it's not easy for anyone to do this all because this need very long process and some good hassle for FIFA and other Federations as well with we already have very packed leagues seasons and very small window for International matches it's not easy to do this all specially when we are going to have covid19 issue around us, and it's not going to leave us normal in long term basis. Still, very good as we will have some tough competitions and many new teams will also have some chance to quality for next round with have equal basis chance against good teams.
To be honest, I do not understand such reasons "it's difficult." It turns out that FIFA wants to hold the World Cup every two years and it's not difficult (although this is complete nonsense), but is it difficult to make logical transformations? I think it's a matter of desire. From a business point of view, such changes will be beneficial to everyone and will greatly increase the interest of viewers in the qualifying matches.

From my point of view, the world cup is something precious. As it comes once every 4 years, it has a meaning to people.
Generally, the team wins the world cup, is the best team and that's the way it should be regardless of the players that team has.

Now imagine that the world cup happens once every 2 years then it didn't have that type of importance to anyone. And people have passed a lot of difficult times before, and I don't see any reason to suddenly make the world cup happen once every two years. Seems like money is never enough for FIFA, is it?
2648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: January 24, 2022, 04:34:11 PM
Actually, Real Madrid could have won against Elche, it's just that they underestimated Elche. Elche did lose in ball possession and they only had a few chances but because of Real Madrid's poor defense Elche can score 2 goals. If Real Madrid's performance continues like this (especially their defense) then they might be overtaken by Sevilla.
That is the weakness of Real Madrid's defense, this should not let Elche score a goal if his defense is good but this was not solid in last night's match, but Real Madrid could reply back it was quite good even though it was not satisfactory, but there is also a breath for Madrid because Sevilla also ended in a draw.
So points are still quite difficult to pass if Real Madrid can maintain it.

On the other hand Barcelona are also starting to crawl up the table and next week with Atletico so this is quite tough too.

I was actually really shocked when I saw that Real Madrid didn't win the match and the result was a draw. Real Madrid in that match were for better than their opponent.

They had more possession, more accuracy, more shots on goal, but they made two crucial mistakes and had to pay for it.

Actually, I think they might take a breath of relief after they scored two back-to-back goals and secured the one point from that match. Day of fiercely need to improve their defensive game. Or else, Sevilla is not really far behind.
2649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 24, 2022, 01:06:59 PM

I wasn't implying that these fixtures are boring to watch, i was merely pointing fingers at ICC old tactics for revenue generation that how they only focus on tapping every ounce of profit at start with Ind vs pak match and rest of the remaining seasons everyone preach about spreading the game bla bla.

Yes that is true it is a really old technique of ICC and I have to say maybe they should try mixing up things a little from the next time and maybe things will be more interesting to watch. That way maybe they can get more revenue.

But the thing is, I don't think they are willing to take that risk right now because it's already hard to generate revenue under these circumstances. But it certainly would be interesting to see the fixtures being different.
2650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: January 23, 2022, 11:59:45 AM
I would have added PSG but to me PSG aren’t really a team that can compete with Bayern Munich even with all those great players in the team especially the attack, the chemistry isn’t really there when they play and that is why they are having a hard time scoring goals. Domestically PSG have lost just one match with 5 draws and winning 15 games, but we know they are not really in a competitive league. And I don’t think the manager have enough champions league experience to know the right thing to do when the going gets tough. Champions league is very competitive and considered the highest league trophy in football.

PSG is a great team if you look at them on paper but considering the fact that they don't have much competition in their League, and Neymar currently seems to be more concerned about fragging out in counter strike global offensive than to scoring goals,

I don't think PSG is in any situation to beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

And I think we can all agree that we have never seen that type of chemistry which we expected from the star players in the team. And I also agree about the manager not being very experienced in the Champions League. So I honestly do not give PSG much of a chance to beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

I agree with you, I don't see the chemistry in the trio either, if they did, they would be scoring goals every game. And I think the problem is with Mbappe rather than Neymar. Killian probably wants to move to another club sooner rather than later, but he's scoring goals here too, which is good. I basically expected more from Messi at his new club, not a couple of goals... That's why I don't expect PSG to win the Champions League

If you don't think about it as one player not playing to his best and instead you think of it as the trio not clicking, I think it starts to make more sense.

Messi was the star of Barcelona and when he left he felt like a man out of his home and Neymar always wanted to go back to Barcelona to play with Messi which obviously never happened.
And for Mbappé I don't think he is going to perform his best if he stays in the club and for him, it might be more of a homesick issue than anything else.
2651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 23, 2022, 11:55:06 AM
ICC has announced T20 WC 2022 schedule. Super 12 will start on October 22 and the most important match of any icc event i.e. Pak vs India will on 24 Oct. India, Pak, SA and BAN are in Group B, while Aus, NZ, Afghan and England are in Group A. There will be two more teams in each group that will come from qualifying round.
So arch rival fixtures are fixed no matter what. Aus vs Eng and especially Ind vs Pak. That's a easy recipe of guaranteed return of interest.

Boring and expected move but hard to blame the poor ICC to follow this route cause revenue does matter.

These types of fixtures might be boring but the matches are going to be interesting, and I don't think that any cricket lover is going to just look at the fixture and be disappointed just because this type of match are going on for a long time.

At least I don't have any complaints if I get to see some good games. And we all know it's hard already to game revenue from any type of things under the coronavirus situation, so I don't think we should blame ICC for these types of fixtures.
2652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 23, 2022, 11:52:24 AM
There is still a lot of time for the next IPL. By that time, the situation of covid variants will be clear. If the virus is outspread in India at that time, most probably it would be better to delay the IPL rather than to play it without the international players. Secondly, i am not worried if the Indians were not able to play well in this series. They will regain form in the next series for sure.
Right now India as well as most of the other countries are witnessing a huge spike in the number of COVID cases. And if the projections come true, then by the end of next month the spike will end. IPL is scheduled to start by the end of March, so I guess there is enough time for the BCCI to arrange the tournament. But as we have seen on several occasions for the last two years, it is very difficult to predict the course of the pandemic. New waves appear in the horizon whenever there seems to be a lull in the number of new cases.
The increase of COVID cases are experienced all around. Within India slowly the restrictions and Sunday lockdowns were getting importance. There is decline in the cases in some zones whereas to experience a complete relief out of the pandemic won't happen anytime soon. This means people are getting adopted to the pandemic and are moving the life forward. So, this time there is very less chance for the IPL reschedule.
IPL won't get rescheduled this time as the third wave peak is expected to come by February and after that cases will be very less. IPL is scheduled in the month of April by that time things will be very different. This time only few states are reporting COVID cases compared to last time where every state was facing problem. This might be because some states have already achieved 100 percent 1st phase vaccination for the required age group.

Man, I don't know, I really don't think that players should compromise their health and safety in this case. We have all seen how dangerous coronavirus can be.
And I also know that the BCCI will obviously want to continue the IPL somehow. If the cases are very less around the month of April then it's okay but even then the players all need to be vaccinated and proper caution should be taken. Otherwise, there can be some serious concerns.
And if the coronavirus situation is really uncontrollable by that time then I don't think it's a good idea to continue with the IPL regardless of the players being vaccinated or not.

Your question is pretty much short and you didn't provide much information about your case, for example, I can tell you bitcoin is always profitable at any price and any time if you aim for the long term while if you go for short term and special if you are a new investor in this market you can lose a huge amount of money in this market that's why I'm suggesting you have a money management plan and have your own goals and target also try to aim for long and the term also doesn't invest the money you need or you will need in the future if you obey all these rules anytime is a good time to buy bitcoin regardless of the price.

Currently, I'm in 100% fiat, I think the bearish market is starting like 2017, now it is wise to stop investing money.
In this correction situation, we have to speculate properly and have to wait until the market becomes a bit stable.

I have just seen that the monthly MACD candle turned red today and I think we will see this bearish wedge during a couple of months.
Now I'm waiting for the ending of this bearish wedge and will start buying when significant stability appears again.
2654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange or hardware wallet ? on: December 15, 2021, 03:40:38 AM
Better hold on exchange because you can sell when coin suddenly pump, hard ware wallet need time more than few minute to access and sending to market take few minutes for deposit process. We don't know when coin suddenly pump and not just few while only coin raise higher price before dump, saving on hard ware wallet you waste moment for selling on higher price when got chance to sell with higher value.
Holding assets on exchanges isn't all that bad. That is for day traders, holding an exchange is very risky for the holder. Hold assets on exchange as the exchange is controlling your money, you are not the real owner. In contrast, holding assets on a hardware wallet you have full control of all your assets, as long as you do not reveal your secret seeds to others.

Ascendex was also hacked and an estimated total of $78 million was stolen in Ethereum, BNB and Polygon tokens. It appears that none of these exchanges in the cryptospace has escaped from the problem of being hacked hehe. Binance, Kucoin, OKex, almost every exchange had millions of dollars in coins stolen from them. I reckon the only exchange that has not yet been hacked is FTX.
It's been 3 days and the exchange still hasn't reopened, deposits and withdrawals are still suspended. I visited their official telegram and they still have not announced when the exchange will be back to normal.

What particular exchange? Bitmart or Ascendex? Because I'm accessing Bitmart right now but I don't know if they are accepting deposit and withdrawal since I don't have balance on my account there. It's a good sign that there website is still alive because it only means that they still want to operate despite of there financial loss. Most of the exchange that planning to exit usually close the website without further notice or let there user notified about last day of withdrawal. I think they will loan funds to start again there business.
AscendEX (Bitmax), not Bitmart. Website is still active but deposits and withdrawals have been suspended for the past few days, I think they will solve the issue soon. Most exchanges have 3rd party insurance, in the event of an accident the insurance will take part of the responsibility.

Football - wise, it was a great Merseyside derby. Liverpool is really upping their offensive game month after month, the easiness with which they are creating chances is amazing to watch. They could have scored 3 goals in the first 10 minutes alone.

Chelsea and City got their wins as well and the race keeps on going. The difference between top 4 and the rest in the PL this season is unreal, only 4 teams in the whole league have positive goal difference - Liverpool in the lead with +31 after 14 games.

If I managed by the points difference between the third and the fourth team in the Premier League. Currently, the third team is Liverpool with 31 points and the fourth team is West Ham with 24 points. I also expected better from arsenal who is in fifth place with 23 points.
2658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 02, 2021, 11:10:57 AM
I don't know what is Chelsea doing with their defenders. The whole world already knows that Rudiger is stalling with his contract extension and requesting more money, but other than him Christensen, Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva are all in the last years of their contracts. Chelsea is taking a huge gamble here, it's just a matter of time when other clubs will start poking around.

It is ok to lose/replace 1 defender, you cana manage 2. But replacing 4 players successfully would be an impossible task.

I think that Chelsea is just trying to negotiate with them with less money. Other than that I don't see any reason why a theme like Chelsea will not renew their defender's contract. I don't know but this seems real like it could cause a big problem for Chelsea. To be honest I think they should renew the defender's contract.

...

I think the hosts will have a big advantage in all these matches but of course surprises are always possible.
What are your predictions?

It is really hard to guess - most of the teams are of similar quality. Still - if I had to pick it would be Wales, Poland and Portugal.
Path A is the easiest, with Austria being one of the weakest teams overall. I'd pick Ukraine over Scotland for the final, although it's a minor difference.
In Path B I think it will be between Poland and Sweden, while in group C we all expect a Portugal - Italy final.

What I am the most excited about is Portugal being the qualifying team for the world cup because I really do want to see Ronaldo playing the world cup thinking that this might be his last. But I do think that if Ronaldo wants he can also play in the next world cup. And yes this should be a Portugal Italy final from group c.

There has still been some arguments about whether Messi deserved winning Ballon d'or or Ronaldo deserved it more. But Messi still won it in the end and it is the most important point here. Messi won it two times in a row. And in total, Messi has won 7 times and Ronaldo follows him by 5 times. As they may not play like in the old days anymore, it might be hard to see any of them winning it even for once from now on. So maybe some time later, a different player would break the record and I'm sure that it will happen.
For the tittle that Messi won which is the Ballon d'or,he really deserves it more than anybody.Looking at his individual performance,he really deserves the tittle than Lewandowski,Kante,Jorginho and so on.
 Messi has won the tittle two times more than Ronaldo now,thereby showing his supremacy over Ronaldo.

Well, the debate should be over now and it as Messi has won it I don't think that anything will change this now. Even though I do agree that Lewandowski was really good
And about having supremacy over Ronaldo we all can agree that Messi and Ronaldo both play differently. And Messi can do certain things that maybe Ronaldo isn't comfortable with and vice versa.
