Another trash news coming from China. Those politicians ain't anything to do other than recycling their random speech about banning Bitcoin, restricting trading activities, cracking down mining operations...? Apparently, Chinese honest politicians didn't smell yet some ¥ from crypto related operations?

In previous years, there were many matches on the last matchday in which many goals were scored. An 8:0 score was also a frequent occurrence. What do you guys think? Will it be the same this time that there will be many goals?
I don't expect to see many goals in most games. By many I mean above a total of 4 goals and by most I mean 6 matches from 9. Now when it comes to games with max goals to be scored I think about Bayern and dunno why M'Gladbach ones. Just a feeling Smiley

Today is the Toulouse - Grenoble game. The winner will play with the 18th Ligue 1 team for promotion. I consider the hosts to be the definite favorite of this match. Toulouse is a very strong team, especially at home, they won 13 games in the league, they drew 4 and only lost 2. Moreover, the guests will play without a few injured players. I bet Toulouse to win.
I bet on Toulouse's wins too. This team is much strong than the opponent. And their players are much more confident to win this match. They played great all season, just to qualify for Ligue 1. Hopefully, they will win today's match and next season we will see them in Ligue 1.
Toulouse is a good team and has better odds indeed. They won 2-0 in their last game vs Grenoble in January but if you take a look on Toulouse recent matches, you will notice they drew against weaker teams (Pau, Dunkerque).

Champions League battle:
Aston Villa - Chelsea
Liverpool - Crystal Palace
Leicester? - Spurs?
Chelsea winning that game is a must, waiting for Liverpool or Leicester to drop points is risky imo. The other solution is to win vs City in CL final game. Aston Villa isn't an easy opponent but I think Chelsea will win and whatever the result will be, they will pass to CL next season along with Liverpool.
I don't count a lot on Spurs to tackle down Leicester but a draw is possible imo.
Europa League spots: Leicester > West Ham > Arsenal > Spurs > Everton.

French Cup final is being played tonight and PSG is leading 1 - 0 vs Monaco, still 15 minutes till the half time. Monaco odds jumped to 10 Tongue Roll Eyes
PSG will add another goal imo and Monaco fails to make a real threat for Navas.
And you think it was interesting odds? I'm pretty bad at evaluating high odds unfortunately but PSG is a team stronger than Monaco undoubtedly so being one goal ahead at the end of the first half with a clean sheet, it's almost a victory before the end of the match, even if Monaco score more goals in its second halves usually. Did you bet on Monaco finally?
The odds were attractive at that time and I might made a bet if I felt that Monaco can do something but as you can see in my text, I already predicted PSG to score another goal and Monaco to do nothing which was accurate Wink
Congrats for PSG the cup and we will see if they could get magically the Ligue 1 title too.
4886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 19, 2021, 10:17:17 PM
And Juventus won 2-1, finally a good match.

Now we need to hope for Atalanta winning against Milan on the last day.
Congrats Wink
Left them 1-1 in the first half and found out that Juve made it, at least Pirlo can be proud of something (+Supercoppa of course), yet he needs to see Juve reaching CL so he can left the club, most likely, with as less critics as possible.
Not following much the news but I heard CR7 moved his cars out of Turin? Does this means farewell whether Juve will proceed to CL or not next season?

now the match between tottenham and aston villa has ended with a score of 1-2 for aston villa's victory, in my opinion this result is a very big loss for tottenham because they have thrown away points in a very crucial match tonight, i think race for the european league ticket next season will be very tight and exciting because Tottenham, Everton, West Ham and Arsenal still have a chance to get one last slot to advance to the Europa League next season, but for the next game I don't think Tottenham will easily beat Leicester City.
Playing in Europa League doesn't seem to be a good motivation for Spurs to win something apparently Lips sealed
Can't believe how many times they disappointed their fans! To make things even worse, they will face Leicester next, good luck Spurs..
Now West Ham is another disappointment tonight, first half almost finished and they are behind with 1 goal. Why should it claim back its position?
Arsenal escaped from a draw and gunned 2 goals in the extra time, seeing Arsenal playing EL next season will be the funniest thing in this season.
Liverpool just scored BTW so it is 4th now?

It was uncensored news. The cryptocurrency ban happened in China many years ago and that caused the world's largest crypto exchanges like Kucoin, Binance, Bibox, Huobi to leave China. We have seen that in the past.
Router misrepresented the news and that sent the market reeling once again despite a correction from reputable people in the crypto space.
I read the same news in another article which mentioned that the ban is already on place since 2019? I no longer recall with the infinite bans already taking place in China, but Chinese institutions (govs) made a statement about the risk of volatility and loss of money about the already banned cryptocurrencies related activities..
The timing of such move is questionable, they were warning about manipulation while they were involved in it deeply.
I believe such move could be related to their national -not yet launched- crypto coin... make bitcoin and altcoins look bad Undecided
4890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodl is not the best option as it seems on: May 19, 2021, 04:44:57 PM
History repeats itself indefinitely apparently.
Since joining the crypto world and whenever the price rise, all you heard from some people is: sell it before it drops, do not buy in ATH, manipulation, bla bla. Whenever the price drops: it is the end, do not hold and sell with losses rather than losing all your money, bla bla bla...
During these years of HODLing, I don't recall there is any hodler that cried about losing a cent. People who bought bitcoin before 2013, recovered in 2013 ATH, those who bought in 2017/2018 ATH, recovered in 2020/21 ATH, and for sure people who bought and hodl during the previous weeks ATH, will get back their money and more as usual in the coming weeks, months or maybe years, JUST HODL!

Indeed he has a lot of pressure, but i expect Werder Bremen to win. As for Schalke I would not write them off. They hav won theier last games against Frankfurt with 4:3. And that was a very important game for Frankfurt to keep up with a Champignons Leage Qualification Place.
Bremen situation is very bad, they will face M'Gladbach in the last match and even if their rivals aren't in their best condition, yet they are better. Bremen only motivation in case they get 1 point or more is to try desperately to avoid relegation or play-offs..
Koln will face Schalke, let's exclude the fact that they won against Frankfurt, Bremen should consider Koln as the winner of this game.
For Bielefeld, I doubt Stuttgart will let them get more than 1 point.
Overall, 3 teams for 1 relegation spot and 1 relegation play-offs match.
4892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 19, 2021, 02:26:56 PM
In my opinion, it is worth betting on the victory of Torino or a draw in the match against Lazio.
You were right about the draw part and my suspicion was correct too about the weird odds. 1 precious point, 0 risk for being relegated before 1 round, Torino staff can relax this season and they should fix the team before the next one.
Bye Parma, Crotone and Benevento. Welcome Empoli, Salernitana for now.
Atalanta - Juve will start in 4 hours 30 minutes, odds are close @2.5 - 2.8 in favor of Atalanta. I think Juve will win because its players are thirsty for a trophy this season, might this be the occasion?
4893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: May 19, 2021, 02:09:56 PM
I think Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League, along with Chelsea. On the balance of the season I think Leicester maybe deserve it more than Liverpool, but it's a close thing.
It is unfortunate to see Leicester dropping points and moving down in ranking every couple of rounds. Considering Liverpool will win in its 2 remaining games and Leicester winning too vs Spurs, then Liverpool chances to play CL next season is bigger. Leicester only hope is seeing Liverpool get a draw in 1 match at least.
Otherwise, there is some interesting games too for EL spots.
4894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 18, 2021, 03:08:59 PM
We have Lazio - Torino today, odds are quite interesting (there is a trap maybe?) and since I prefer to see Torino staying in Serie A, I hope they can get at least 1 point. Lazio players has absolutely nothing to lose or win, dunno if they will play with complete first squad or give more time for other players, at the end they will stay 6th whatever their points will be in their 2 remaining games.
4895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: May 18, 2021, 02:58:55 PM
Today a very interesting meeting of teams from 3rd and 4th places in the table. If Leicester doesn't lose this match, they will probably secure a promotion to the Champions League. Chelsea cannot afford to lose as Liverpool will likely seize the chance to overtake them in the table. I believe the guests will achieve their goal today, I bet Chelsea - Leicester: x2
To see Liverpool 4th by the end of the day or not to see it, that was the question! Liverpool @1.2 will face Burnley @10, which is unstable team so an away will is very possible. Now the odds between Chelsea @1.8 and Leicester @4.8 are quite strange.. Bookies not trusting Leicester can do something although winning with 1 goal vs Chelsea few days ago in FA Cup. Chelsea will certainly fight for its CL spot and Liverpool will try to take one, I think that these two teams will win today.
Edit: oops, meant this round
4896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: May 18, 2021, 02:45:02 PM
Yes, apart from that, there are Monaco and Lyon who are still looking to win in the last match. But yes, the two teams will not be easy to win because the opponents they will face are also not mediocre teams. In contrast to Lille and PSG, which seems like they can be sure to win in the match later, considering that these two teams have a better performance in terms of the squad and the winning mentality they have.
Lens @4.8 - Monaco @1.6 and Lyon @1.2 - Nice @12 aren't that easy indeed, yet odds are quite unbalanced especially for Nice. PSG and Monaco will have an additional game tomorrow (French Cup final) comparing to other teams so this might have an impact if there will be injuries for example.
There is many possibilities about european leagues that no team can guarantee its qualification except maybe Lille since goal differences are 6 points between it and Monaco

I hope Koeman will be replaced next season after his poor form this season.
There is many rumors circulating out there and your hope is most likely certain as the new president seems to sack (or just sacked) Koeman and Xavi seems to be the new manager.

A Spanish newspaper has also "confirmed" this, will try to find the source. https://as.com/futbol/2021/05/17/primera/1621242943_040572.html?autoplay=1

We entered a bear market earlier than expected

The prices won't go up anymore from now. People say Elon control the Dogeocin market. But he controls Bitcoin at the same way.
Any event can push the price down or up. I recall the price dropped after China took down bitcoin exchanges and restricted BTC. I don't recall how many times the price fluctuated with US govs selling seized bitcoins, halving events, famous services closing and scamming people, PayPal joining the race...long list..
Today it is Musk? Tomorrow there will be another event. No need to make things look bigger than what really are. 1 BTC = 1 BTC at the end.

Dortmund is said to be selling Haaland and Sancho this summer, we do not have confirmation but they are definitely on the block for sure and that means Dortmund, even if spends money, may not be as good next season (probably). On the other hand Leipzig misses their best defender and also the manager that brought them here as well. Both teams will have a big trouble for sure.
Those teams are used to sell its best players and with their prices they buy new and young ones that have potentials to become top players and so on.
Such strategy is profitable for these teams that used to stay in top of the table and join europeans leagues but obviously it will not allow them to fight seriously for the first place in Bundesliga nor europeans finals. It is a choice that has some benefits and consequences. Big troubles? yeah sure if Dortmund will not find some good strikers then even EL next season won't be guaranteed.

Is what we seeing on the markets the doing of Elon Musk with his tweets linking bitcoin mining to the increased carbon footprint?

Yes, Elon has proven to everyone why bitcoin cannot work and has failed, and institutions will not invest in it anymore.
We should close Wall Street then since basically everything there could be manipulated whether by fake news or what I call shadow contracts and so on. Gamestop manipulation by both sides (people buying stock shouldn't be called manipulators tho) is the best example along with oil prices.
Back to institutions not investing in bitcoin because it is easily manipulated by people (and not by govs Roll Eyes ), so long folks, better to have one believer than dozens of profiteers that will quit the boat with the first (and only) wave.
