There was a major change in the IPL leadership during that period when the creator was facing corruption and other charges and the BCCI withdrew the teams rights to be in the IPL but the owners went to court and won a case against he BCCI as far as i know and they are yet to compensate them for the loss.
Even i would agree that BCCI is responsible for the mess.

If I remember correctly, both the franchises (Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala) were removed by the BCCI after they failed to make the franchise fee for the year 2012. For Pune, the owner was jailed and the franchise was facing financial issues, while for Kochi there was a dispute among the owners. But the point to note here is that the franchises were suspended only in 2012, and the pending dues date back to 2011. And even after the suspension of the franchises, the BCCI did nothing to help the players.

@Sithara007 I’m not surprised by BCCI not wanting to help because they’re all about making money, and not giving money away even if it could help the player’s. Furthermore IPL is scheduled to finish in UAE in September, and this is a bold move because they’re risking Indian player’s right before the T20 World Cup begins.

After a year, and with a different administration, Koeman himself is not desirable to continue, but he may continue in the event that no alternative is found within the next two weeks, according to Radio Catalonia .

Barca administration never looks at Koeman as a steady and permanent solution for the manager position. Unless he could win every competition...
So I doubt that they don't have a plan or some candidates ready to proceed to further negotiations. Probably they don't want to give any info, who (really) knows?

I think Koeman will stay for one more season. Right now there are no good coaches available. Ideally, you can invite Guardiola, but this will depend on the result of the Champions League final. If he wins, he may move to Barcelona.

@kassex I feel that Barcelona should sell Messi and give Koeman a war chest to spend, because he barely had any money to spend on transfers. Furthermore if they want to take a risk, they can target Conte and he could help them become champions once again, but will they risk getting him is the question.

These are teams I think will qualify past the Group stages:

Group A: Italy, Turkey
Group B: Belgium, Russia
Group C: Netherland, Ukraine
Group D: England, Scotland
Group E: Sweden, Poland
Group F: Germany, Portugal

Italy is the undisputed favorite in Group A. In order to determine the runner-up, Turkey is marginally favored because they will have home advantage against Wales and Switzerland.

In Euro 2020 qualifying, Belgium comfortably defeated Russia in both home and away matches, therefore they are favorites. Denmark will also have home advantage in all of their group matches, so I think they are the presumptive runners-up.

No surprises in Group C, and I agree with your prediction. The Ukraine is a worthy adversary and should have no major issues against Austria.

Scots are in a tricky group. It is unlikely they'll beat England or Croatia, and they could face a close match against the Czech Republic. Even getting a point on the board would be a good result.
I think England and Croatia will qualify from Group D.

I believe Spain is the favorite in Group E, with Sweden and Poland vying for second place.

Among all the groups in this tournament, Group F might be the most uncertain. In my opinion, Le Bleus are one of, if not the best teams in the world therefore are favorites in the group. Both Germany and Portugal should defeat Hungary, despite the difficult task, and will battle for second place.


@FatFork will the absence of Real Madrid player’s hurt Spain chances cause there’re some very good player’s there, and in particular Ramos should have been selected for this tournament. Also will England be hurt by Maguire absence, because it looks difficult for him to recover in time.

Damn , just readed it now that Holstein Kiel won there match against Cologne !
I am a little disappointed from Cologne as they normaly playing well and good .
Fingers crossed that they can win the next match and that they can stay in the first League.

hey lafu. you write that köln otherwise plays good football. if they really played good football, they wouldn't have finished 16th in the bundesliga. Grin
they saved themselves from relegation on the last match day. If they played good football, they would need a place in the midfield of the Bundesliga.
but maybe they will win the second leg in kiel. but then the team will have to improve 100%.


@Soonandwaiteis they might not be one of the best team but they do have the potential, but sadly this season they were unable to show it. Furthermore it’s quite possible that next year we may see them in a different avatar, because I’m sure they wouldn’t want to be any where near the relegation zone when the new season starts.

I should go through the original post however I was missed badly. Anyway, much appreciate for your pointing out. Bangladesh go up 2-0 and take the series against Sri Lanka, and secure the top position of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Following CWC league table Sri Lanka on 12th position since Sri Lanka are continuing their downward slide. I'd be happy and proud if Sri Lanka can complete at top 5, even 6-7 would be great.

It will be too much to expect from a team which is currently at the 12th spot, to get promoted to the 5th. And from what I have heard, their next ODI series is against England and India (the latter one looks doubtful though), and getting enough wins from these series will be very tough. But fortunately this league stretches to 2023, and therefore Sri Lanka has probably enough time and matches in hand to secure their promotion to the top-8. Playing in the qualifying tournament can be quite humiliating.

@Sithara007 I doubt that Srilanka will qualify for the top 8 because in this series they have shown that they’re a weak team, and if they wish to change their fortunes then they must put in more efforts, and even try and give other player’s a chance. Furthermore do you really believe they can make it to the top 8, and is it a sentimental believe or you have some solid research to back your statements.

Quote

There we have it - Bangladesh have absolutely bossed this, and tamed a hapless Sri Lankan side here, to achieve their first bilateral ODI series win against them, such that they can play that "perfect game" in the third ODI with all the freedom in the world.

However, we shouldn't underestimate Villarreal, I mean they are not a weaker team, and are capable of winning against Manchester United.

You're right, villareal is a great team. Just look at some of the matches that have occurred, the villareal was able to draw against MU. The match this time may be the same even though I slightly favor MU to win. In Villareal's last match in LaLiga, they managed to make it difficult for Real Madrid to even lose before the draw.

Last year MU had a bad history in the European league, they also lost to the Spanish representative Sevilla. Maybe tomorrow is a revenge mission with MU but they have to be vigilant.

@Luzin the key player for Manchester United will be Cavani because he’ll need to score those important goals for us, then I really hope Pogba brings his best game because he and Fernandes will be expected to open up Villarreal defence. Lastly I have decided to wager on Manchester United because of Cavani, and therefore I sincerely hope that Manchester United win the finale.

Real Madrid needs a striker, but it will definitely not be Kane. He is a pure striker like Jovic. And Zidane does not need those.
Milan needs a pure striker (CF), Kane fits with that position. How do you know Zidane doesn't want CF?  Huh
Zidane needs someone who can replace Benzema because Benzema may not always fit during the season. Also, with a new CF, Zidane can make a more varied formation in the front line of Real Madrid. So, what's the problem with Kane? The problem is only about the possibility of signing him.

Kane is the best choose for Real Madrid but they have serious with Mbappe or Haaland, how ever third player have fantastic value and almost their club never sell with lower price. How ever Kane will left Tottenham Hotspur because almost every years always failed get trophy and many player left Tottenham success on new their club and get trophy.

@Xxmodded firstly are we even sure that Zidane is staying back at the club for another season, because there’re rumours about him leaving the club. Furthermore let’s consider a hypothetical scenario where we consider he decided to stay, then too he won’t buy Kane as RM eyes are set on Mbappe and Halland only.

There was no continuity between Juventus' performances this season. Moreover, they did not perform well. They are more dependent on Ronaldo. They need to reduce this dependence and all players need to have a good play mentality from their own position. And the team needs some change within. The defense needs to be strengthened.
They just stopped behaving as a team this time. It was noticed in some games, that there were groups within the team, and the players only played among that group. This divides the spa, even if it is in a subtle way. This brings bad results. Fortunately, in the last games of the season, they managed to balance this situation and managed to join UCL.
Now I think they have to start solving the problem in the dressing room, and bring all the players together as a real team. This should be the first thing to do.
It's not just about team unity. I think if you buy a player for 117 million euros, pay 31 million euros on a contract and not really depend on him, then it's a little bit strange and wasteful. On the contrary, I believe that the main problem of Juventus is that the team does not use Ronaldo well as a player and his opportunities, and this is the main reason for the failures of Juventus in the championship and in the Champions League. With all due respect to the Juventus squad, the Real Madrid squad was much better suited for Ronaldo in terms of players, the whole team played for him and therefore there were such great results for both the club and the player. It has already become a byword to watch Ronaldo sink closer to the center of the field during the match in search of a pass. Therefore, if Juventus wants to depend less on Ronaldo, then it is better for the club to part with the player and bet on others.

@AndySt it has been speculated since a long while now that Ronaldo is isolated in the dressing room, and his teammates are tired of the way he gets preferential treatment.

Furthermore I feel it’s a key reason why Juventus are failing to click, and the best way would be is to sell Ronaldo and unite the dressing room.

Please let us not underrate Chelsea even though the odd of winning this season UCL favors Man City Recall in their last two meetings Chelsea won convincingly, they are not a pushover side this is a final match, whatever motivation Man City is having based on their quality players doesn't count now until the two team meet in the final match I am neither a supporter or fan of the two clubs however I believed Chelsea can be headstrong on that day such that it might be quite difficult for Man City to defeat them.

Nothing undermines Chelsea, but indeed they (Chelsea) are a trivial team that can be easily beaten. Just look at Tuchel in the last EPL match, he plays Edouard Mendy and see now? Edouard Mendy Has Injured.

Please don't say that Kepa is better than Edouard Mendy  Cheesy

Everything Can Happen On The Field, But 95% Sure Manchester City Will Be The Winner.

The Blues Is Loser Everytime

This is a Champions League final. So I never take things for granted. Everything can happen. Chelsea beat Manchester City in this season 2 times in 3 games. I'm sure that Manchester City won't underestimate them here of course. But they should be really careful.

@ILuckyGuyI it’s true that Tuchel has a psychological advantage after beating Pep twice this season, but then again Pep is a tactical genius and I’m sure he’ll come up with something very good that’ll baffle Chelsea player’s. Also this will be Aguero’s last match, hence I feel it’s fitting he gets to win it, and the entire City team should win it for him and this is coming from a Manchester United fan cause I really like Aguero.

Lille have been crowned Ligue 1 champions after winning against Angers and this is their first title in 10 years breaking the PSG supremacy where the time from Paris won 2-0 at Brest but needed a slip-up from leaders Lille and that was not forthcoming.
Congratulations to Lille and to those who decided to bet on them winning the leauge.

@acquafredda congratulations to Lille they definitely deserved the title, but I sincerely doubt that next season they’ll be able to hold on to it. Furthermore do you’ll expect PSG to sell few player’s and change their team, because this team clearly lacks the balance required to win the titles.

I hope cloudbet enables instant payments because it was one of the reasons I left betting there. The transactions, especially withdrawals, are slower than any other casino and sportsbook I have ever played at. I tried to ask live support and even he could not help, I had to wait 24 hours almost and after that, I decided to stop playing. I am glad to see new coins being added but hopefully, these new coins and DASH can bring speed to the transactions.

By the way guys you can ask live support about bonuses because I had no bonus given to me since I joined despite losing a lot of money and gladly enough they gave me a bonus when I requested the live support, although it came with 10x wagering requirements are some weird rules like You cannot bet with those funds on the same match twice, so if you made a bet, that's it for the match. And minimum odds was 1.9 or 1.8 I think.

@dezoel indeed delays in withdrawals definitely hurts, and hence I believe that Cloudbet is on the right path by adding new coins and hopefully in the long run they’ll enable instant payments too. Furthermore were you asked to complete the 10x wagering from fresh funds, or your existing bets were counted for it?.

Yep. Previously, I also think that Liverpool cannot finish in the top 4 this season. They have a big problem in Defense line with many key players got injured. Luckily, towards the end of the season, the substitution of the defenders can play in a good performance. So, they can get many points and finish in the best position that they can. I assume, obtaining the 3rd position is the best achievement they can get this season. Cool!!
Leicester lost their ticket again in the final day of season. Sadly to see how they ended this season like this.

The Premier League have the same ending as Serie A. Big clubs have their tickets to Champions League. Chelsea have a bad day but they got a gift from Leicester City and Liverpool did their works well with an excellent match from Sadio Mane. That player has a bad season but in the last match, his double goals help The Kop have a happy ending.

Leicester had the chances of making it to the Champion League next season, but messed it up. I could remember when they were occupying the 3rd position on the table, but dropped down when they won only 1 out of their last 5 premier League matches, while they lost 3 and drew 1. Although they won the F.A cup, but ended the EPL outside the top 4.
Jamie Vardy will be older next season and I don't think Leicester City will be able to compete for top 4 in the next season. Maybe some clubs like Tottenham and Arsenal will come back and Leicester will have to play in Europa League again.

@kawetsriyanto it’ll be interesting if Brendan Rogers decides to leave Leicester now, because he’s unable to get them to qualify for the champions league. Furthermore Leicester player’s need to ask them what’s wrong with them, because they had a good match but gave up when it actually mattered the most.

If there are any supporters of Juventus here - I wish them a win tonight, but only if Napoli and Milan win their matches. All jokes aside - I expect tonight Atalanta - Milan to be decided not on the field, unfortunately. It is known who runs the Italian federation. Mialn is the best away team and we definitely will have our chances. Marani will referee the game tonight and with him Milan has 7 or 8 wins.

On the other side Napoli could win easily but they have the habit of losing points against teams like Hellas Verona.

@spartaneca I’m praying for a Juventus loss because that’s the only way Ronaldo will come to Manchester United, and I know Juventus is a huge club but I want him back at my favourite club. Furthermore will Napoli lose the biggest game of the season, I feel they’ll not, but then again nothing is guaranteed in football so let’s see how it ends.
3014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2020/2021 on: May 23, 2021, 09:47:01 AM
Chelsea will definitely be in the top4, there is no doubt about it. I will say even more, if the team will play well the next year, as now, then Chelsea will be able to fight even for first place in Primier League. And if Chelsea will be able to beat Manchaster City in the Final of Champions League , then it will be a great success for Tuchiel.
There is also a possibility Chelsea finish 5th in the Premier League and lost in the final of the Champions League too.

The final Premier League games of the season will kick-off in around 15 hours time, we will see which two of the following qualify for the Champions League: Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City.

May the best two teams qualify and join Manchester City and Manchester United in the Champions League next season Smiley


I think Chelsea will play Europa League football next season by finishing 5th.
Haha, I love this Chelsea agenda! You've been trying to push them from the top 4 a yet you keep failing, you never wanted them to reach the champions league final yet they beat you to it,  the fact remains that Chelsea will surely make the top 4 this season and they must finish 3rd nothing less, the race now is between Leicester and Liverpool, Tottenham will surly run Leicester City over today to secure the Europa league position.
There is no anti-Chelsea agenda here  Grin

@JollyGood there’s so much at stake here, but it’s pertinent note that Chelsea will be playing away without their fans, and Liverpool will be playing with their fans and that could have an impact on the results. Also I find it funny how his opinion have been termed as an agenda in his very own thread, but now let’s keep the focus on football guys and pray for your favourite team’s.

And I'm happy for Suárez, too. I don't like him as a man, with the biting and the history of racism... but he's a great player, and the way he was kicked out of Barca was disgusting. He has replied to Barca in the best way possible, by not only winning the league, but also by scoring that final winning goal.

I'm happy for Luis Suarez also. He scored the goal that have brought the championship to his team. And he ended the league by scoring 21 goals. Considering he is 34 years old, it is a really good job for him. Barcelona must be regretting that they have sold him.

@jakdanyel that incident is of the past and it holds no value now as it’s forgotten by all, and as for Barcelona is concerned they should ask Koeman why in the world he allowed Squarez to leave?. Lastly Squarez also admitted that he was subjected to lot of humiliation, and was looked down on when he joined Atletico, hence I’m very happy for him that he won the title and made Barcelona look foolish in the process.

There is also a nice competition between Dortmund and Wolfsburg for ending as the 3rd. They have the same points now but Dortmund are the 3rd thanks to having 2 more score difference. I think Dortmund and Wolfsburg both will win their games. But I'm not sure about which side can end as the 3rd. It seems to me like Dortmund have a bigger chance. It completely depends on how much goal difference Wolfsburg will have against Mainz.
Dortmund is a great team, they may well fight for first place, but they have bad periods every season when their game gets so bad that they lose points where the champion shouldn't. They should keep the third place, but the match with Bayer will not be easy. Although Bayer has solved his problems, and below 6th place, they will not fall even in case of defeat.

I also think that the game will not be easy for Dortmund. Leverkusen defeated them 2-1 in this season before. However, Leverkusen have nothing to lose also. They are going to end the league as the 6th. And they have important missing players like Alario, Bailey and Amiri. I don't think that Dortmund will waste this opportunity. I expect them to destroy Leverkusen and maintain their place with score difference in the worst case.

@CLS63 in my personal opinion Dortmund will win because they have won their last 5 fixtures, hence I doubt that they’ll lose this match. Also I hope that they don’t play in overconfidence now that they have secured their champions league spot, hence one should be careful if wagering right from the start.

Those who are fans of the longer-format can watch country cricket championship (4-day) free on YouTube. Right now, the following matches are ongoing:
<snip>
A big thanks for all the county sides for making the matches freely available to watch. This is a boon for those who don't have subscription to Apps such as Fancode and WillowTV.

I don't think anyone has time to watch these matches and stay on youtube for 9+ hrs to watch these matches. Though it is a great initiative to have these matches seen live on Youtube.
I always heard about the county championship but now first time watching live.  Anyone here on bitcointalk interested in these matches ?

I cannot sit glued infront of my laptop or my mobile the whole day to watch County cricket. There are other things that can be done to pass time. If you are someone who loves sports and cannot live without it and then you should go ahead and watch it.

@pakhitheboss I totally agree with you and I too would give these matches a pass, because these matches are being played at the local level, and they’re not worth investing 9 hours to watch them.

However if the same option arises when Ashes or two big teams are playing then I might make use of it and watch for a hour or two, but do you’ll feel that they’ll show big team matches for free.

In race or practices, he always hit and destroyed a car.

However this didn’t go down nicely with Verstappen who fired back saying that he has nothing to prove, and the contact on the track works both ways, so do you’ll feel that these banter will have an effect on the upcoming races results.

I logged in to my account after a while and was greeted with level 1 verification. What would happen to my deposited funds if I don't complete that? Forfeited?
It's mandatory KYC which has been discussed for sometime recently in this thread as @kotajikikox mentioned above. You need to fill in the form in order to access the site again and recover your funds.

Don't fill in fake information since it could become a problem later on. However, if you have issues with providing your KYC, your funds are basically locked.

@Bttzed03 it is clearly written in their AML policy that all users need to compulsory verify themselves before they can do any kind of withdrawal, and if you fail to do it you’ll lose access to your funds. Furthermore if they suspect your details they may subject you to complete steps listed in verification 2, hence if you wish to withdraw you’ll need to submit your details.

Quote

Step one verification is a simple KYC (Know your customer), which must be done by every user and customer to withdraw as recommended in Directive  2018/843. Disregarding the payment choice, the amount of payment, the amount of withdrawing, the choice of withdrawing, and nationality of the user or customer, step one verification must be done before any withdrawal or transaction to another user can be made.

Step one verification is an online document that must be filled out by the user/customer himself faithfully. The following information must be filled in: first name, second name, date of birth, country of usual residence.

We do not allow any withdraws of funds until the KYC is filled in and approved. In case of misinformation or unfaithful filling in, the company may hold the funds until the KYC is approved. We might ask you to do Step two verification before withdrawing any funds if you filled in intentionally wrong information in the KYC online document.
