I would say Chelsea was quite unlucky throughout last season.  Of course, we all know that every club would experience the same at least once in a decade. So for now it will make no sense if we keep pressing on the "WHY" of Chelsea's condition.
Many keep talking about Potter and Todd Boehly as the sole cause of the club's predicament while few speak about the way forward. I'm more worried about how the new chelsea would be in the next season, seeing that the club is already showing signs of a bad start by planning on selling Covasic and Kante.

Friendly matches are always difficult to predict. they sometimes don't play seriously, or some players are on vacation and aren't in the squad.
I usually don't bet on friendly matches, but yesterday when Indonesia faced Palestine, I bet on a draw. and I won the bet. because I know this is difficult so I bet with the smallest bet.

In another friendly match, Indonesia will face Argentina. would you bet on a draw? Argentina is a World Cup champion. I wouldn't think they would draw against Indonesia.

I never bet in friendly or exhibition matches because both teams and fighters are not showing their true strength, in fact, they are holding back, the team never put their strongest player for fear of injury and also for the other team not to see their real play when they are playing against them, same thing with individual games like exhibition boxing they do not throw their biggest punches because the pay is not huge compared when it's a real match.
Apart from players being on vacation and some level of unseriousness another factor you have to consider is that some of the players are faced with fatigue. They have played very well in the leagues and as the season ended, they are supposed to rest, rather they continued playing. This is one of the things that reduces their performance and another thing to consider is that most countries do not take care of their players as much as their clubs do. So they tend to perform better for club than country.

Graham Potter is still without club now. I thought he shouldn't have been signed by Chelsea in the first place as I saw it as a risk. Because Chelsea can be much more successful with managers who have at least a decent experience with big teams in Europe. Potter wasn't such manager so it is normal to have doubts about him.

I'm afraid he couldn't prove me wrong about this and his time was a big failure. I think he should go back to managing average teams in the league. I'm not saying this to belittle him of course. I'm saying it because he is much more successful with such teams. We have all seen how good he was with Brighton in the end.
If I am a Football Club owner, I would not think twice to higher Graham Potter. I have always said it that the problem of Chelsea was not GP, that guy was not given enough time to take the club. He did not even go on any preseason and he only managed to do well with Chelsea in the Champions League taking note that the English Premier League was difficult for everyone including the coach of Liverpool. I still believe that Graham Potter will make a good coach. The only person I did not have good hope on is Frank Lampard.

Congratulations to Spain

It was very tough from beginning to the end and Spain have to win the day. There must be a winning in every finals. I really wished Modric would have lifted this cup but he tried his best but it didn't work for him
The hero of tonight was the Spanish keeper - Simon who saved 2 goals in the penalty shoot out.
I really love this season end. It is not boring, there are alot of matches to watch and to bet.
And again Modric failed in the final when he was in the national team, which is quite disappointing because it looks like it will be a trophy for Croatia, and their goalkeeper this time did not perform like in a good World Cup on penalties. Congratulations to Spain who finally became champions not as the favorite team to win but were able to overcome their opponents well, including in penalty shootouts,
I will not blame the Crotia goalkeeper for not saving penalty. When it comes to Penalty kicks,  there is not guarantee that any goalkeeper will save the shoots. That is why we blame the players for missing Pk and praise the goalkeeper for saving PK.
Having said the above, I will rather blame two Croatia players for missing Pk, unlike the Crotia I know too well in the world for being able to take excellent penalty kicks.
Sometimes too you drop your goalkeeper and take the second choice. Spain dropped Kepa for Simon and the result was great

I start developing an interest in Boxing and UFC matches when I visited a relative, he is so into these types of sports and he seems to know a lot about it, by I have to keep myself from asking him what and what I should do to know more about such sports, I have this in mind to be able to make some bets or gamble on such sports, my problem is I don't know how, if anyone is into such sports where should I begin? Any special UFC or Boxing platform where I can read news and updates about such sports?

How do you bet on such games? What are the things to be on the lookout for? Because I believe this is different from football ⚽, I also don't have access to satellite dish like my relative does, this is how he is able to get the best out of these sports.

what information can you give someone like me?
But it would have been fine if you already ask your relative how it is being done, after explaining to you, you can then come to the forum to ask similar questions then compare the answers you get here to what your relative must have told you. That is the way I get information and digest it easily.
I believe that you must have figured out how to go about this by now.

There are no guarantees that any documents and data you send online will ever be deleted even if the company you’re sending your data to claims to do so

That said
It’s unlikely that on big and reputable websites you’ll have problems with your data and documents.
It could always happen but we don’t hear a lot about it
Once your data is given out, you cannot control what they do with your data. It is true that reputable companies will not do anything bad with your data and neither will they trade it. But when there are issues that the government will want them to release the data, they will have no option than to adhere to the instructions of the government.
But there are alot of shaddy companies looking to fish on people's private information and that is why kyc is discouraged largely by the community.

4549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 18, 2023, 08:35:39 PM
Ancelotti will stay at Real Madrid, maybe he will still spend the rest of his contract at this club and after that announce what the next steps are, of course Real Madrid will also try to convince this experienced coach to stay at the club before finally looking for a replacement who can also still makes Real Madrid a successful club in many competitions. If Ancelotti still chooses Real Madrid and Brazil looks for another coach, Ancelotti will still be in demand by many clubs because his experience is a guarantee that he will be able to provide success for the clubs he will coach.
It seems quite obvious to me that Ancelotti will remain at the club - in the end, with the crisis Real (in the crisis of which he is not to blame at all), he reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and even lost La Liga, but overall it was a good year. If he had such results with the transfers that he requested and would have received, then it would be a different matter, but Mbappe remained at PSG and Real refused to fight for Haaland.
And I do not believe that Ancelotti himself can leave (without dismissal or not renewing the contract) from Real to the national team (of any country). Club football >> national team football if we are talking about top clubs.

If we look at Real Madrid, it definitely feels like a managerial job at Real Madrid is far bigger compared to a job in any national team. Real Madrid also wanted to get Mbappé in the team. But he really did not want to let go of the huge amount of money he was getting from PSG.

That is the only reason why Mbappé moving to Real Madrid did not happen. Otherwise, it was going to be one of the biggest transfers of that time because Real Madrid was ready to pay 200 million for him to PSG.

And anyway, after that, Real Madrid also did not go after Erling Haaland's goals. The potential opponent was Manchester City. Real Madrid had to pay a huge amount of money for him which I believe they did not want to. And at the same time, Benzema was performing really well. Probably Real Madrid thought that they can go with him being the only striker for one more season. That’s where they made the mistake.

Anyway, I think in the next season Carlo Ancelotti, going to bring in a good striker. He's also going to go for both the La Liga title and also the Champions League title as well.

To some of these coaches, it is not about where will pay better but it is the prestige for them. Zidane was doing great in Real Madrid and a time he left, came back and still did well and willingly left again but report has it that he has been lobbying for France national league.
So, the coaches most times chase the prestige.  It will be an honour to Ancelotti to have coached the greatest football nation .
Priority to the coaches is what matters especially to big coaches.

But since this first half, it has all been Crotia attacking and shooting at the Spain box.
The Crotias are more aggressive in attack than the Spaniards.
I don't know if you are actually watching the game or just writing based on the game stats, but we (Croatia) didn't dominate the first half. Sure, we had some so-so chances but Spain had some too so I would say that draw at the halftime is realistic.

Its gonna be a tough game until the end and one thing I don't like is that everyone in Croatia was so confident that we are beating Spain (relatively) easy tonight, forgetting how good they actually are.
Did I sound like someone who wrote through livescore game statistics?
I am being realistic here. In possession the game seems balanced and it could be more in the side of the Spanish side but in terms of attack on Kramaric has been a night mare to the Spanish defence.
Even because of your comment I have to open livescore to check what is there and the result is that the Croatia side has 3 shots on goal while the Spanish side has 0 shots on goal.
What then are we saying?
4551  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 18, 2023, 07:59:38 PM
Changing of terms and conditions without notifying the users or gamblers is normal with online gambling websites? Then when you did something wrong or about to withdraw your money they will tell you that you don't read their terms and conditions, and you start arguing with them until you decide to read the ToS again and you find out that it's different.

Some gambling websites consist of wicked owners that willingly plan to defraud their users using the ToS against them, or is this normal? Have such happened to anyone on this forum before?
I have not had an idea of the allegations you stated above but reading it seems to me like something that can happen
And that could be termed a criminal offence.
This very attitude can be checked before it becomes rampant and the best way to check it is to ensure that all casino owners make their ToS  downloadable so that on registering, I will download and have my own copy of the agreement

No goals at the moment, but they could easily come. Croatia and Spain are teams that can find the goal relatively easily. It is actually strange that a big team like Croatia has never won a prize. Only about 7 million people live in this country, all the more clever that they can assemble such a strong team. Taking Modric out of the team is like taking a card out of a house of cards, then the whole thing comes crashing down. But we shouldn't shortchange the rest of the team, they are all still very good players divided between strong teams in Europe and especially in Italy. Spain seems to be my favorite tonight.
But since this first half, it has all been Crotia attacking and shooting at the Spain box.
The Crotias are more aggressive in attack than the Spaniards.
If they maintain their momentum, they will be the champions tonight.
The match is already 45mins and that is to say that the first half is ending on goalless draw which is a true sign of a strong finals between two good teams. Croatia has proven to be consistent in European football.
4553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 18, 2023, 07:19:26 PM
The doors around Frenkie de Jong seem to have been closed pretty hard by Barcelona. But there are several Barcelona players who are on the nomination list to make a transfer. At least not Gavi or Pedri, because 1 of both contracts contains a clause that he may only leave if the club in question can only put an amount of 1 billion euros on the table. I don't think any player in the world is worth that honestly. But the amounts that will soon be spent are no longer normal. And how much would Chelsea spend next summer? That will undoubtedly be a few hundred million again. Money too much.
Sorry to ask...why will a footballer sign those kinds of contracts that will keep them in a particular club like a life contract. What could be the reason to sign such a contract. We're they desperate to join the club and they were given such an contract to sign or does such a contract actually have an advantage to them on a long run? I just want to know...
If there is anyone I will like to leave Barcelona, he is Fati. He is not a bench candidate
4554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 18, 2023, 07:09:58 PM
Chelsea has a lot to make up for next season. But what would the expectations be? I think many supporters will be happy with European football, but a team like Chelsea is normally indispensable from the top 5 of the rankings? United can also go either way. In terms of results, Ten Hag did a decent job, but the game image was often not good. In that respect, Arsenal has provided a lot of entertainment, and they have therefore rightfully taken 2nd place in the competition. Becoming champions seems impossible to me with City in this form.
Arsenal were able to beat Manchester City, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that they gave the leadership to Manchester City after suffering consecutive loss of points. There was also a serious point gap between them, but Arsenal could not win the championship. If there is such a surprise next year, maybe Manchester City may not win the cup. To be realistic, they will most likely be champions again.

Such a surprise is eminent but thru will still hand the trophy back to Manchester City in thr end
The only thing that can avoid that is when Arsenal and the likes of Manchester United reinforce their squad depth.
If you don't have good squad depth and play many competitions, fatigue must come. You cannot avoid it and it will throw your team into crisis.
Chelsea will be at advantage here because they will be playing lesser amount of matches
4555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Nations League final four ⚽ on: June 18, 2023, 07:00:36 PM
Everything looks under control for Italy because they can lead 2-0 in the first half but Netherlands hasn't give up yet and they were attempts to equalized and Bergwijn has been scored goal but apparantly Chiesa has make Italy leading again with current scores 3-1 and he was came as substitution player but it took only 9 minutes for Chiesa to scored goal and i think this goal has killing the game and most likely Italy will be the winner of this match and gets 3rd place

Other match will be interesting because if we see from head to head statistics between Croatia vs Spain there always be a lot of goals happened and Croatia is slightly better from recent performance but probably both teams will displayed attacking style this time although i have seen Spain is the favourite but i don't think Croatia will be easily to beat and for betting option i would like to thinking bet for over 2.5 goals because just like i said before both teams will playing with attacking style

The Netherlands vs Italy was a crazy match... I haven't seen such good football in a long time, probably since the last World Cup... The Netherlands were a bit unlucky, but Italy was probably better... I don't expect many attacks in the final from Croatia... I think it will be Spain, and Croatia will catch them at mistakes and create dangerous counterattacks...
In the first half of the Eufa nations league finals 3rd place, I feel that the Netherlands were somehow lazy. I mean they had a better squad but yet they conceived 2 goals which made it difficult for them to win. Assuming they started the lead, the Italians couldn't have come back to win.
There was no attacking pressure as I expected. At least I know the attacking pressure of the likes of RVP and even Memphis. I feel Gakpo didn't put the necessary pressure needed in the first half.
Let me see what Modric and Co have for me tonight

If you can win money even without putting money at first then I think yes it can qualify as gambling
Depends on the game too
Poker as an example can be played to make money and won’t be qualified as gambling but as a skill game

On the other hand I wouldn’t be so sure to define something as gambling if you can’t lose money


If you can win money with putting you can call it a gambling. I don't think you are correct. I guess you know the games and rounds child board where give away is made. So, if I go to the thread and apply for a draw and after the draw my name is among the winners, have I actually gambled?
I think you must put in something be it money or properties in test of your luck for it to be called gambling.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue

When I read this, I had to laugh because one thing came to my mind and that is;
If only someone is under drugs/alcohol influence, they will forget all your tips and do their worse.
The worse thing that can happen to anyone is to gambling under the influence of something.
Be it drug,
Alcohol,
Depression,
Emotional pressure,
Revenge retribution etc

All of them have various stories and of course the discussion also varies, but in the end it remains the same, the longer the discussion is carried out, it will lead to the same direction about addiction in gambling.

The topics are different but all in the same gambling addiction stories and it will not bother me because we are in the gambling board and addiction in gambling is also real, it is somthing worthy to be fought against and if by opening these topics will help I don't find it bad. Another angle is having a single thread for addiction contribution which will also not help but concentrate the spam in one thread.

4559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 18, 2023, 02:54:54 PM
I hear rumors about Louis Enrique becoming the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
This might be a pretty odd decision by the PSG owners. If you ask me, Enrique is a pretty overrated coach. He was very successful in Barcelona 8 years ago mostly because of the MSN trio and because Pep Guardiola left an almost perfect team. Enrique failed miserably as a coach of the Spanish national team and I don't think that he will be successful leading a club outside Spain. He probably doesn't know English or French. Anyway, let's wait and see if the rumors will become truth.

I haven't seen any news about it. When we examine his career, we see that he is a coach who has always worked with good teams and won big trophies. I remember the work he did when he was in Barcelona, of course the team's squad was very good and I don't know if it would be correct to call Enrique the person behind the success.
It is a fact that he has not been very successful with the Spanish national team, but perhaps he will be successful in PSG
I'm yet to see any new that suggests that Paris Saint Germaine wants to make Luis Enrique their manager. Paris Saint Germaine's current manager isn't tactically fit enough to manage a big club like PSG.
However, I don't think Luis Enrique will be a better replacement despite impressive achievement with Barcelona when he was their manager. PSG must look beyond success in France and work on succeeding  in Europe and that's why they should go for a manager that has a good record and that can achieve a lot with the club
4560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 18, 2023, 02:45:44 PM
Crazy how Arsenal really want to sign Declan Rice, I think it's too much if they need to spend more than 100 Million Euros because according to Arsenal big transfers [1] those players aren't show good performance like when they were in their previous clubs.
Nicolas Pepe, Aubameyang, Ben White and Alexandre Lacazette, they're failed transfers.
I would also agree that a club should never pay significantly more money as a transfer fee for a player than his current market value. Declan Rice hasca value of 80 Million € at the moment as far as i know, so it would be really stupid in my opinion if Arsenal would make another offer with even more money than those 100 M€ or so that they have already offered for him.
FC Chelsea was even worse, they have paid over 100 M€ for Fernandez in the winter.

I think for that money, Arsenal will actually get other players who are going to be good. I don’t see why Arsenal will have to pay that much money when the market value is 80 million. I am also hearing that the player also does not want to leave for Arsenal at the moment. And that’s why there is a high price tag for him at this moment. I think Arsenal should look for other players to get in the squad. Otherwise, if Arsenal really wants to get him in the squad, they will have to pay a lot of money extra which is really unnecessary. In my opinion.

Declan Rice for sure is a very good midfielder with great football qualities. He possess the potentials to be a legend of the game of football in years to come if he'll look beyond the hypes he's getting from the English media and work more hard.
However, I think he's overrated considering the price West Ham is placing on him at the moment. I don't think he worths more than a 60 million pounds midfielder and I'll be disappointed if Arsenal decides to buy in any deal that'll make them pay more than 70 million pounds
