And Enzo Fernández was the biggest one, it's impressive

Looks like Chelsea is trying to achieve something huge, not only for this season, but for the future, this is important, they hired young players:

Enzo - 22 years
Andrey Santos - 18 years
Noni Madueke - 20 years
Joao Felix - 23 years
David Fofana - 20 years
Mudryk - 22 years
Badiashile - 21 years
From here they are preparing for next season to be more competitive in the league and if they can play in European competition then also to be able to compete more later, but with all the new player material it will be a question of his coach Graham Potter whether he will be able to make Chelsea even better ? this will still be a testament to Potter or it could be that there will also be a change in their coaches

Well, it is time for Poter to bring out his caste and show why he is good, he already has a very well-armed ideal team, now he has to direct them in such a way that they score many goals, and that they contribute everything the team needs, which is many victories, if it is done that way, Graham will be one of the most famous coaches of the year, but it is in his hands, he knows that he has a unique opportunity to prove it, we just have to wait and see how he will organize them, the best thing is that Chelsea as a whole trusts in the abilities and a guy like him I don't think he will disappoint, in fact I'm sure he won't disappoint and Chelsea fans also trust in good work.

Chelsea: Boehly 'could wind up Tottenham' with shock move at Stamford Bridge





Quote
Despite the west London side struggling to pick up any consistent form of results - their latest at the weekend saw them held in a 1-1 draw against rivals West Ham away from home - the latest reports suggest the new owners are very much backing Potter for the long-term.

Indeed, The Guardian earlier this month reported that Chelsea's hierarchy do not expect immediate results at the club despite their lavish spending in their first couple of transfer windows, and instead are planning on giving Potter more time.

The report added "there is recognition that a patient approach will be required while Potter works on getting his ideas across to his squad."

5502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: February 17, 2023, 07:10:47 PM
It's already understood that he is the crowd favorite because he is a very popular fighter. Per https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/, Inoue is ranked number 2 in the pound for pound ranking, that's how popular he is, and as he keeps winning impressively, eventually he will get the top spot. I don't know, maybe other source will already give him the number 1 spot.

I guess not that easy because Canelo Alvarez is still holding his throne and that won't be easy for Inoue to replace, although I know his time will come sooner because he's much younger than Canelo and eventually he will replace him. Aside from that, the only possible way for Inoue to get the P4P King title is if Canelo will have another defeat.

Back to the fight, this will be indeed a challenge for Fulton and I'm excited what would be his move against Inoue because he's still the champion here and I expect that he will not give that belt easily as Fulton himself wanted this fight before he jumps to the next weight class.
On most rankings lists that I have seen recently Inoue already outranks Canelo and he is only outranked by Usyk, and in some rankings Crawford appears ahead of him while on others Inoue is already ahead of him, however I do not see Usyk unifying all the belts at the heavyweight division if he has to fight against Fury, however Inoue could do this at the super bantamweight, which in my mind it will make him the best boxer pound for pound.
I agree. This will probably shut down all the doubts about him. Because whether we like it or not, there are still fans that think he is just good at his own weight class where he dominated but not on this one.
Well, that also determines that he still has something to prove and he should take it in an optimistic way. There's still a challenge, the competition is still broad, there are very good boxers in this weight that he entered and he should get past them first.
I am watching different analysts on this bout and it is still a mixed prediction about what will happen on fight night.
Around 60 percent (my watched analysis) are vouching that Inoue will win it and the rest for Stephen Fulton.
For gamblers, it's a good sign, we don't like a 1.03 - 1.10 odds being listed as we cannot make our bets for the favorite.

Well, making a comparison not based on statistics, because I know that they are very precise on occasions, but there is also something that mathematics cannot measure, and that is the emotions and the degree of motivation that one has, on the one hand Inoue is testing or he will try a new category, which he has to get into his head that the blows will hurt him much more and a knockout is more dangerous, but he also has to become much stronger, it is no longer a simple category, now well , Fulton will defend his category and try to give Inoue a good surprise and show him that this is not like what he won, something like this is for big children, so maybe things for this fight can be seen with that tint, which in my opinion is still very exciting, but I am not sure that he will be able to win like when he was in his previous category.

Brandon Figueroa: I Really Wanted That Rematch With Fulton, I Feel Like It’ll Happen In The Future



Quote
Brandon Figueroa was surprised and disappointed when he learned Stephen Fulton Jr. agreed to fight Naoya Inoue next, not him.

Figueroa figures that his rematch with Fulton will still happen at some point. Figueroa had hoped, however, to get the opportunity to avenge his lone loss in his next fight.

Now that Fulton is committed to opposing one of the best boxers, pound-for-pound, in the sport, Figueroa’s full focus is on meeting Mark Magsayo for the WBC interim featherweight championship March 4 at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

The date and site of the Inoue-Fulton fight haven’t been announced, but Fulton has publicly acknowledged that he will defend his WBC and WBO 122-pound crowns versus Inoue next in Inoue’s home country of Japan.

5503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 17, 2023, 06:38:54 PM

I'm not sure though if Donaire is thinking retirement, I never heard from him telling the public about his plans. Even after Inoue knock him out, he still want to chase greatness at 115 lbs against Estrada, but now he chance his plans.

He still wants to fight, but I believe he mentioned that he wants to retire as a champion, so he would like to get a belt again, and with what happened. I don't know anymore if Donaire can still have a championship fight soon, seems like the chance is not fair for older fighters nowadays.

Quote
Perhaps we should give him like 2-3 years to fight or less than that before he thinks of hanging his gloves for good.

But right now, the opportunity is there so why not take it.

But he cannot wait longer, he needs to be active to have more fights and to test himself if he still can dominate in this division.

I haven't seen a boxer who quit on top though, I mean if he becomes a champion again, I doubt he will just say's no I don't want to fight again. So obviously, it's up to the result of his next fight, whether it will be against someone like Rodriguez or Gaballo.

2-3 years might be quite long enough for his career, he is already 40 years old, and once a fighter reaches that age, sooner or later his body will be very different because of the effect, the wear and tear of being in this business for many years.

You are right, there's a lot of opportunity when you are a champion, so why would a boxer retire? It doesn't make sense, if he does really say it, then I think he has a different mindset, he values his achievement more than the money he will potentially get in future fights. Of course, there are boxers who retires during their peak, just like Mayweather.

If he retires then he might lose millions of dollars in the bag since he cannot get that anymore if he decide not to take fights. So I think what he did right now is a smart move since while still he can keep accumulating while there are still big offers to you and he can make his future more secure with that. Maybe its better for OP to close this thread now since Donaire vs Moloney  is no longer happening and there's nothing to discuss about more further updates regarding this match.

Well, it's a matter of decision, what happens is that everything revolves around money and not in favor of the sport, that is something that will always be noticed and more so in boxing because of the amount of money that is handled.

Our body at a certain age is not the same, it becomes very slow, it does not react as the athlete wants, but obviously we must not stop training, so that the body has a respectable level.

A young boxer will obviously have many more advantages, but the weakness will be in the lack of experience, and therein lies the clear opportunity that Nonito has to win, it is logical, this applies to any sport, the boxing federation should take advantage of the desire he has Nonito of fighting, he is motivated, they should support this initiative.

But not everything is bad:

5504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: February 17, 2023, 04:50:50 PM
With such a fantastic salary, Ronaldo must prove that he is still worthy. at least, he should "contribute" to his new club. but unfortunately, Ronaldo has not been able to give his skills, as the coach and All Nassr fans want "at his current age". Obviously, this caused a lot of reactions from fans and football lovers. even criticism came from within the team itself, the coach Rudi Garcia was not happy with All Nassr's defeat against Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup. the presence of Ronaldo, did not have a big impact on the performance of the All Nassr team.

I think it's only natural that his fans expect something big from him. the reason is, in an interview session with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said that he could still score a lot of goals. apart from all that, anything related to Ronaldo, still seems to be hot news for sports media journalists.

Once again, I need to disagree with you.

Ronaldo doesn't need to prove anything. Whatever he needs to prove, he has done that during the last two decades. And his "contribution" will be measured in a different way. His contribution will not be measured in terms of the number of goals that he score, but rather by the increased viewership and attention for the Saudi Professional League. And in this regard Ronaldo has performed better than expected. Now coming to their defeat against Al Ittihad, Al Nassr needs to do introspection. Ronaldo's presence only helped them in that match.
That's right Ronaldo is a name football world will always remember but that doesn't mean because of Al Nassr defeat against Al Ittihad his performance can be questioned .
Yea you can give opinions and do productive criticism,  winning a game require team effort and hardwork alone Ronaldo cannot do any magic . All team members have to work efficiently for winning game.

I think that what happens to CR7 is not easy, having the responsibility on his shoulders is something very big, it is like what was happening to Messi in 2014 when he lost the World Cup, when he played for Barcelona he also began to go badly, when he left Barcelona and when he joined PSG it's not like he did so well, I think Messi suffered a lot to catch up, what happened to Messi was something very different from that of CR7, because I come back And I repeat, CR7 lost a daughter, a baby, and that makes anyone very bad, it is an irreparable loss and they do not have any kind of consolation, that was what collapsed him, however I think he has been getting over it little by little, not completely and the emotional is what always gives us a catapult upwards or bury us, and since everyone is aware of what he does or does not do, the responsibility will always fall on him.

What is this thread, a 31-page monologue about Ronaldo?  Cheesy
Maybe not like that either. So we have to understand, the presence of this thread is also caused by Ronaldo. There are no previous Arab League threads. The existence of Ronaldo in the Arab League made OP take the initiative to make this thread. Then if we talk about the other players, I think very few people know them. This topic will be covered in its entirety once this season is over, as many people who are already watching the Arab league are now part of an interesting argument going forward. Another reason why Ronaldo is now the main topic, because he was eliminated from the Europa League and then warmly welcomed by Al-Nassr for a high fee.
Ronaldo is the main reason for this thread no doubt, but also, he on his own is not a team or a club so every one who is interested in watching Donald is also interested in watching other players or teams that are related to Ronaldo.
people are now potential fans of Al Nasri because of Ronaldo, for that they will not be happy to see Al Nasr lose if Ronaldo is not featured in the game, meaning that apart from Ronald, they also find interest in the league and clubs involved.
Of course people will be interested in the club, not just Ronaldo. But the majority are Ronaldo fans who have moved to Al-Nassr. They want to see Ronaldo play in the Arab League.
And now the fight is underway between Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun. Al-Nassr took the lead quicker thanks to Ghareeb's goal from Ronaldo's assist. We see that currently Ronaldo has contributed in every game, different from the previous few matches.
Likewise with other clubs who have high enthusiasm to beat Al-Nassr because Ronaldo is at the club. Interestingly, the top three clubs are level on points, and the competition is getting more and more interesting.

I would not see the thread as a monologue, but it is the prologue, because it is known that previously the Saudi League did not have the impact and importance that it has now, if CR7 had not gone to Saudi football, I think the thread would not even exist, and that would not It only happens here in the bitcointalk forum, if you look at ESPN they are taking the space only to broadcast the games he plays, partly thanks to him is that he has given more life to Saudi soccer, because we are used to a standard of players, most of which are European players, a famous Saudi player? which? if it is not for CR7 I think none of us would know any.

Well let's see how the outcome of the match will be if Chelsea will be able to live up to your predictions, but don't forget that in the last 5 matches Chelsea can win only 1 but Fulham on the other hand has performed quite impressive in the last few matches and that has to build a lot of confidence in their fans and betting on them to win. Chelsea is in the match.
*But then we can't say for a fact which team will win at the moment all we can do is just make a prediction and wait on luck to play its part between the two clubs. S

Yes, we can only predict while the final result cannot be determined it's not strange that many people favor Chelsea
the reason may be because playing at home and Chelsea have a reliable new player like Joao Felix
but don't forget that Fulham also has Aleksandar Mitrovic who has scored 11 goals or 4th place top scorer.

Well, in my personal opinion, I think Chelsea should get out of the situation where they are now, it seems to me that it is very bad luck that Joao Félix just entered and they took a red card, that looked very bad, and that affected him a lot to the team, I don't know if it was the desire to contribute a lot to the player, but I myself couldn't believe it, I think that what the referee did was something very severe, however we will recognize that Joao Féliz is a very young boy, who Experience does everything, sometimes it can be seen as a rookie mistake, but it can't happen anymore, against Fulham they have a great chance to claim it, but the only way I see them do it is by scoring goals.

Tuchel being considered for shock next move after Chelsea sacking – Has ‘supporters’ within club



Quote
Thomas Tuchel could find himself in line for a surprise return to Paris Saint Germain as he still looks for his next job after leaving Chelsea in September.

That’s according to RMC Sport, who say the German has admirers at PSG despite his unsuccessful spell there before moving to Chelsea in January 2021.

Tuchel was in charge of the French giants from 2018 to 2020, leading them to the Champions League final and boasting a points per game record of 2.35, the best of any club in his varied career as a manager so far.

He was sacked at the end of December in 2020, four months after their appearance in the Champions League final, after a public and bitter fall out with director of football Leonardo over recruitment at the club.

If yesterday Ziyech managed to move to PSG, it seems that Mbappe's injury problem will have a solution. But what can I say, everything has happened and it looks like this will be a tough match for PSG because they have to lose Mbappe in the first leg, especially if PSG are the hosts. I think coach Galtier will lack player options to fill the void left by mbappe temporarily and surely this opportunity will be put to good use by Bayern Munich to steal aggregate points at home to the opponent.
Have official announcement from PSG about Kylian Mbappé have absent three weeks later after hamstring injured against Montpellier and he played only 21 minutes before changing by Hugo Ekitike. Actually has potential for Mbappe absent on first leg against Bayern Munich and could be most disappointed for fans with Mbappe injured.

But potential for Mbappe coming back on second leg due have enough time three weeks later second leg start after first leg match, actually have benefit with first leg begin PSG as the host and away match for second leg Mbappe can back to the team if confirmation is true about three weeks absent.

Well, the fact that Mbappeé is not playing against a great team like Bayern is great news for them, however it is taken into consideration that when talking about emblematic players of a team, there are still Neymar and Messi, who are both an unstoppable duo when They propose it to them, it is that we are just going to think that a game with a Brazilian and Argentine is something that can be explosive and very dangerous for the opposing team, also Messi located in the FiFA Ranking 1 next to a Neymar who is connected with their game, that is something very dangerous, even so I would say that PSG still has a lot of advantage over Bayern.




In another order of ideas, this was interesting to me:


Bayern Munich: The best-managed “super club” in the world



Quote
“He is talented, complete, and very intelligent,” says Patrick Gonfalone when describing a 16-year-old Kingsley Coman. There’s nothing left for him at the U-17 level, then France’s U-17 national team coach continues, concluding the interview by stating that he would have already played professionally if he was in another club than Paris Saint-Germain.

Le Parisien – a top-tier French newspaper – labelled the PSG versus Bayern Munich match in the Champions League’s round of 16 as “Le Grand Soir” (The Big Night). For Qatar’s sports washing project in Paris – the two games against Bayern Munich define their entire season. For the second time in the space of three years, their academy player crashed the Parisian party with an unwanted homecoming.

In my opinion Inter play so badly because they spoil their players too much
He truly considers them as little princes and consequently they don't pay much, it takes rigor and seriousness in retreats and so on
It's the only team whose revelry has been leaked
What happens is that compared to Napoli it is something else, they are the best in Serie A so far.
 
On the other hand, the team that is on Napoli's heels is Milan and Roma, because Juve is far behind, I don't know what problems Juve have, but they are not doing very well since Napoli scored 3 goals against them to 0. If Napoli loses 4 games in a row, they lose first place, and although the chances are minimal, anything is possible, in another order of ideas, I liked how Inter Milan has fared and how Roma realized, who already lost the first game of the Europa League 1-0, still has many chances.

In any case, Real Madrid did what it had to do and that is to win. But the deficit is still significant to Barcelona. They play at home against Sevilla this week. On paper you would say an easy game, based on the current ranking. But Seville is still a big name and has performed quite well nationally and internationally in recent years. This is also the chance for Sevilla to show how good they can still be. But what seems more likely to be the case is that Barcelona will probably have a fairly easy and perhaps big victory. The match Barcelona - Real Madrid is only on April 5, a lot can happen in those months.

Today Madrid's game was quite good even though the first half they didn't get any results but their game in the second half was able to produce 2 great goals.
Obviously Barcelona will pick up the three points again, Valencia and Sevilla are not far away in their standings side by side at the moment. I'm not sure about the game performance that Sevilla will show against Barcelona and win it taking three points from the leaders. I think it's quite difficult at the moment, at least Sevilla plays to a draw until the end of the drink to get 1 point, but it's still a draw in my opinion quite difficult too for Seville.
I think every week now will be a game in favor of Barcelona including next week's game against Sevilla. Sevilla as we know this season played far from what was expected, they worked so badly that they had to be at the bottom of the standings for some time. Now Sevilla is much better, but I don't think it will be enough to stop Barcelona who are in top condition. It will be very difficult for Sevilla to at least get 1 point in next week's game.

Well, for Sevilla to stop Barcelona's race would not have been bad, draw = 1 point, in fact Xavi has an advantage that he does not want to give up, he knows that he cannot lose that opportunity. In fact, I understand it, because they have already forgiven him many things, I don't know if he fails again, they will continue to give him more opportunities and give him the same consideration for his work, Barcelona is a great team and with a great history, Real Madrid for their Part of it shone when I played with Valencia, they scored very good goals and with a lot of quality, I really like what they did and that's what I like the most about La Liga, I hope it continues to be exciting, but the gap in points continues to widen, I see it difficult for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona.

The top three are really close together. Maybe a new player will be on the field for Darmstadt at the next matchday. According to some media reports Filip Stojilkovic will join Darmstadt from Swiss club FC Sion. It is even said that he has gave a refusal to Juve. The striker is 23 years old and will cost 2 million Euro. This would be the highest amount to have ever paid from Darmstadt.

Well, you have to consider something, Darmstadt is risking it, they want to have the best players, maybe they are betting everything because they are very close to qualifying for the Bundesliga, I don't see it badly, they are things that I like to see in a team Because this means that they are preparing for the true level of the Bundesliga,

I do not see it badly either. If Darmstadt is willing to spend the money, let them do it. And your comment that they are already planning for the first Bundesliga is justified. That could also be the purpose. But I see something else: A good team. If a team works well together and the morale is good, then it does not need necessarily new expensive player. Union Berlin is an example of this. They have a team where everything is really right. And that makes it much more valuable. But if Darmstadt gets promoted with Stojilkovic they have also done everything right.

I hope it is like that, in particular I have seen how they have fought and also how HSV has done it, and despite the adversities, the team did not go into the abyss when the drug issue affected the players, these things greatly affect a team, that's why I want those teams to go up to the Bundesliga, I know that football is not deserving, but in this case I think that they deserve to go through, I have a team in the 2nd bundesliga that I would like to go through but they have really fallen behind like St. Pauli, they are teams that for two seasons have given us great moments but have been left behind, even so, if that has happened to them, it is because they still need one thing to happen.


You have got something mixed up there. St. Pauli does not play against Darmstadt this weekend.  St. Pauli will play away against Magdeburg .  And Darmstadt will play against Rostock.
So there is actually only one top match. Between Paderborn and Kaiserlautern. A 6 point game.
Hamburger SV will probably have a hard time against Bielefeld. I do not know why. Just a feeling in my gut.
oh man. you are absolutely right...of course i meant rostock and not st. pauli. but nevertheless there is a full stadium in rostock. i am not 100% sure if darmstadt will win there. darmstadt is the big favourite. but rostock is not to be underestimated either. nevertheless i bet on a victory of darmstadt. but i hope that rostock wins so that it remains exciting at the top until the duel darmstadt vs. hamburg. 


I know that St Pauli has a big difference in points, and it is not possible that they can go up to the Budensliga, however now the teams that I am sure will go up are Darmstadt and HSV, because those are the teams that I see have struggled the most For this reason, the affection that I have for St Pauli is for two seasons that they could not happen.

It's not strange that most European teams are composed of players in their late 20s and early 30s. That is the period when a player should be in his top form. It's rare that a player in his early 20s becomes an irreplaceable part of the team. Young players need older, more experienced players in the team to look up to.

I agree with the argument that most of the players will be in their late 20s or 30s. But in the previous editions, most of the European teams had good players in their early 20s. However this time (Qatar 2022) only a few of the European teams had such players. Some of the teams do have players who are 20 or 21 years old, but they are no match for the more experienced players. Players of the calibre of Erling Håland or Ronaldo of 2006 are extremely rare nowadays. Let's take the example of Germany. They have a few - Karim Adeyemi, Youssoufa Moukoko and Lukas Nmecha. But these players are not even regulars in the playing XI. Most of the attack is being done by Müller, Gnabry and Gündogan.

We can bet on the youth, and it's a good strategy, but let's just look at the example of Spain in Qatar, all the youngsters led, almost a Barcelona, and what did they win? nothing, go away, why? because the youngsters do not have experience, they do not know how to deal with certain eventualities that arise on the field of play, it is partly the fault of Luis Enrique who did not know how to choose a team and left the best without playing, this is because I did it due to a lack of maturity despite the fact that he is already old, so I would not bet on having a team of young people alone, that is why it is better that they focus on the championships of the sub-20 category, it is better, the professional is something else.

We need a mix of younger and more experienced players. Spain lost out, because players such as Sergio Busquets and Álvaro Morata didn't performed. To their credit, they have one of the most talented younger player in the UEFA (Ferran Torres).

Yes, in fact I am one of those who is very convinced that the teams already need their replacement generation, but for Spain it was a mistake not to take Sergio Ramos, Lucas, and in one of the games that Hakimi won, he let him know his mistake to Luis Enrique for not having taken them precisely when he did the penguin dance as a celebration when he scored the goal since he always does it at PSG with Sergio Ramos, that day was epic, just seeing Luis Enrique's face was a pleasure, without However, I am one of those who think when it comes to good players, you have to mature that rivalry for the simple fact of playing for Real Madrid.

In this sense, I believe that a technical director must mature, I prefer that Luis Enrique dedicates himself simply to being an influencer on Twitch.

Casinos always take great care of their reputation, they know that through an app you can have more vulnerabilities and it is difficult to protect from there, however there are casinos like bitcasino.io that have their own app.
I'm not sure if many casinos don't release mobile apps just because of vulnerabilities but every casino has a team of experts to improve security and update the app, even though the casino website is very responsive it supports mobile and tablet display but the layout and menu are not comfortable for mobile and many other flaws , hopefully the casino releases a mobile app as soon as more gamblers use mobile access than laptops.
The truth for me ? the main reason is that what is the need? I mean for what there is a need for APPs when you can directly access their site instantly in Internet? and also this is just a waste of funds and time as gamblers will contact them and find them in internet and not to seek for apps to download.

I understand your point, I think the same too, but there are many people who always want more and demand an app, when it comes to pleasing a certain number of people, the casino always looks for a way to make their investment as profitable as possible for justify this expense of money that they did not anticipate, because it is an expense that can be seen as a risk that will not give them a ROI.

I have seen how many people depend on an app, some use it for everything, for banks, purchases and obviously a casino, (during the pandemic it became evident) it is also a matter of taste, with the passage of time players can get used to it. the app, to the point of making it a necessity, so it's not a bad thing for the casino.

Casino should have extra rules about that, just like how casino works with money laundering or potential mony laundering or any illegal actions using the internal exchange, but I agree that having it will bring additional interest with the gambler, if they can exchange their crypto to their desire fiat or another crypto asset, for sure there are gambler that will use the services.

I believe this is already permitted since some casinos have a varieties of coins they support and you can always make an exchange from one to another while on the casino, there's just a slight difference between them and the exchanges but they share this in similarities, all these are what a gambler should check to verify if they have such function that can serve them on this purpose before going far with a casino.
That's the point of looking for more information about the casino that we want to use to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the casino and so we don't choose the wrong casino to play gambling. This is also useful for us to avoid all the things that might affect our account later in the future. But it seems like there aren't many casinos that have exchange features at the moment and I don't know I don't know for sure about that because, for now, I still use bitcoin for gambling and if I want to withdraw money from the casino, I still use bitcoin.
Well, you're right, what happens is that when casinos only use Bitcoin, they don't get so interesting when the price of Bitcoin rises, because bitcoin transactions tend to be very expensive, and that's something that's demotivating. Therefore, a solution may be internal exchanges and that the casino acquires the LN system within its casino so that clients have all the comfort possible to do their business and do not have any complaints, in addition to network congestion it is something that can be given and that also causes a lot of discomfort, I think it is one of the things for which many casinos acquire other cypto.

everything is full of risks, life is a risk.
although both direct gambling and online gambling have the same risks, online gambling has less risk. If only hacking vulnerabilities were easy enough to avoid downloading unknown things or stop browsing unknown sites, it's much easier than live gambling that can't be avoided when a crime will occur.
but if you can manage not becoming a victim and not taking a complete risk by prevention then it is much better.
there are so much happening in life and we even see things coming here and there but in gambling ? everything is risky and the best word to deliver is "In gambling everyone is a loser, But Owner only"
so if you are not ready for that? and you are not welcoming losses, then never gamble that is what we must do.

but this is not about losers, but I'm talking about the risks of gambling in the open or on the streets.

how can we manage risk when betting in an open place with people we don't know and so many people watching us betting. isn't it difficult to prevent future risks?
and for me, one way to avoid bad things when gambling in the open, it's better to move to a closed casino that is in a room and only certain people can see our bets and whatever wins we get.

I don't know if you have experienced games in the street or at fairs, always the most basic, the one with the glass or with a ball, that the sight is slower than the hand hehehe, and in one way or another it is like that, they are cheating such that the person believes that he knows where the ball is but it is in another cup, then while the person concentrates on it, there are other teams that work together with him that take advantage while the person concentrates well, the other puts his hands in that pockets and steal their belongings, I have seen that and it seems to me something very low, I think that this is one of the most serious dangers there is, the dangers are that it is for many who concentrate on it.

It seems to me that gambling only on the daily staking payouts is a safe way to keep BFG tokens or even multiply them. On the one hand, this strategy allows you not to lose your initial investment because the BFG tokens remain in the staking. On the other hand, the daily staking payouts allow you to take a risk in gambling, and even if you lose, you will have another try the next day. The only problem with this strategy is that you need to have a lot of BFG tokens in staking. At least you should have a couple hundred thousand BFG tokens to get only a few dollars as a daily staking payout.
And that's the problem with this strategy of yours, because the least amount of BFG token a user can stake on BetFury casino is roughly 100,000 and above, of which not everybody can afford such huge amount of money, because 100,000BFG is currently valued at $1456, which has a very small daily payout of $0.7, too small to gamble with, and has a monthly payout of $21.4 and yearly payout of $256.8 for each 100,000 BFG staked worth $1452.8 base on the current market price  (1BFG = 0.01458 USDT)

What users may actually like to do if there is just an internal exchange in Betfury is accumulate more BFG. If the $0.7 daily payout can be traded into BFG thru the internal exchange.

I saw some casinos having this internal exchange, it's quite useful to have it because BFG is not listed major exchange.  Its investors are limited to BSC investors, most probably just the people in the forum.


Well, taking into account that there are many people who have their BFG tokens in Hodl mode, it is an excellent option that they can see it that way, everything will depend on the movement of Bitcoin and if it increases in price, it will help the token a lot, but we must remember that bitcoin has a very high volatility.

It would be ideal for bitcoin to enter a bullish trend, there we will realize how BFG holders will react and how they will use it, perhaps if the team gives them security for their token, they will use it as a safe haven and invest more, raising the price of bitcoin token, but it all depends on what they do from now on.

It is always good to show what is happening in South America, and honestly soccer in Argentina is very good, in fact, as I said before, Boca vs River is one of the classics that I like to watch, as well as the chants they do in the stadiums of Argentina have been copied and used in some South American countries because they are highly motivated, so it could be said that Argentina is a valuarte country of South American soccer and world soccer, I think if they had the sponsorship of big companies like in Europe This league would be one of the most famous, what happens is that most of the stars go to Europe and because of the attractiveness of the payment and to continue raising the level.



Well, I was happy that River won, I couldn't watch the game  Angry, but it was a resounding 2-0, as far as Salo Rondón is concerned, I would like to see him score goals and contribute to the team, in Venezuela they don't recognize his work Maybe because he hasn't done much in the national team, but I'm glad that in Argentina he's well valued.

I believe that the odds for Kamala are fair. Her political views are extreme and she is considered my many as "unelectable". Although odds for other democrat candidates such as Pete Buttigieg and Raphael Warnock are currently not that favorable, as the primaries near these candidates may gain enough traction to overtake Kamala. The current odds (7.50) looks reasonable for me. And these odds are for winning the 2024 POTUS elections and not for winning the Democrat primaries. Kamala, in case she wins the primary, has approximately 30% chance of becoming the POTUS. On the other hand, Buttigieg has a 70% chance, in case he wins the primaries.
We love to imagine USA as this improved and developed nation with high regard of freedom. But in reality, they are lacking that so much, they are a backwards nation, which means a female that is coloured would be pretty difficult to hit. Hell they preferred Trump over a women, although that woman was Hillary Cliton so I do not really blame them.

Long story short, Kamala would lose if she was the candidate, because she is a woman, and she is a person of colour, and it is greatly obvious that USA doesn't like that in bulk. Maybe it would be possible if she got the votes of millions of women who didn't voted, but that is a tough task and would require a lot of hard work on campaign.

Well, I can't deny one thing, as far as Trump is concerned, he has a super spectacular oratory, everyone understands that, that's something I really admire and his side of non-acceptance of the communist current is something that can help a lot, however , I have noticed that sometimes things can get complicated when you go only in a single political current because it is something that goes against many things and you do not cover many thoughts, and that can throw you back, but even so, I see strong Trump for these elections, regardless of the fact that he says that many people are big fans of him, I even think that they have created a kind of Pro Trump sect, which is not good, because it generates a lot of fanaticism.

Wow I am surprised by the way in which Benfica is the Leader, but the level is reflected in the UCL, Benfica is always a team that gives a lot to talk about, also the players they have are very compact and the dominance is noticeable. total, on the other hand Porto is a team that is always there, these two teams are next to Sporting Club the most outstanding in the Portuguese League, in fact I thought that CR7 was going to come to their local league, and if they come I imagine that he will enter Sporting because it was his launching club, where he made himself known, although Benfica is a very strong team and I cannot deny it is one of my favorites, Benfica is always in the UCL with great prominence.

I don't like the idea of him picking the same race like having a fight against another Filipino who's also aiming for the belt. But who knows, this is boxing and the position is vacated so, they can have each others hand on line and pull it.

If that's how it will go, then no choice but to face each other. Besides, it's not really in Donaire's camp to decide who will be his next opponent.

For now, who's gonna be the one that will be put as a mandatory fighter to challenge the WBC Bantamweight is still in question.

Let's follow the progress of that story.

I agree with you, although we don't want to see both Filipino boxers fighting as we only have few boxers who reach at a high level, but this is business, it defends on the organization and everytime a boxer will have a fight, they always sees it as an opportunity to shine, regardless of whom they'll face for that particular fight.

We should move on with that kind of mentality, I guess it's better to see Filipinos fighting against each other for the championship belt. Sooner or later it will happen, we've seen Donaire vs Gaballo already so we might see another one as there is another name like Astrolabio. Their goal is to win belts for the Filipinos so that they will enjoy another world champion. There were time that there are a lot of Filipino champions, Manny, Nietes, Villoria and Nonito Donaire in the same year having a belt.

Well I think we all know what the level of Filipino boxers is, it's very high, and of course they want them to eliminate each other in some way, but they should be much more cautious and make them fight against other boxers, this to maintain the sporting level well stocked and take advantage of the masses of fans who are always supporting the sport, but I think that as I said before, before the sport, especially in boxing, there is the business model, if there is not good money there, it cannot be done a lot, because when we think that certain fights will not attract a lot of money, they prefer to do this type of event, of course this is what I speculate, maybe I am wrong.

/snip

But I find it funny how host countries are sometimes able to somehow beat favorite teams. Russia played so well that they were eliminated in quarter-finals while almost beat Croatia, that went into finals and Qatar beat Argentina, a team that defeat all the other teams and won Fifa World Cup.
Russian players were definitely on steroids because they were running like horses but idk about Qatar.

Qatar didn't beat Argentina in the World Cup. They played really badly and it was evident that they don't have the quality to play against top teams of the world. They played four games in the group stage and managed to score only one goal against Senegal.

But I see your point. Playing at home often makes players give an extra effort for the fans and then surprises can happen. But sadly that didn't work out for Qatar.

Not that kind of advantage really that will boost the team's morale, I strongly think that it is the other way around where most of them are already feeling the pressure because they are the host and the people, and their federation are expecting that they can at least defeat some teams along the way so that the host team, for example Qatar, will still be relevant and won't get embarrassed in the early phase.

The thing about the house and the advantage is somewhat ambiguous, if it is necessary to consider that a host team has a little more advantage, but you must have a little more tact when it comes to giving a red or yellow card, because it is the advantage of the host, then it cannot be dealt with radically and harshly either, the hosts are the ones who usually win the first game, but in the case of Qatar things were very different, they even said that Ecuador had offered a lot of money to the players to let themselves win, I don't know if it was speculation or truth, but somehow that causes a lot of curiosity.

Unfortunately, the two teams are currently not in a convincing situation. both PSG and Bayern, both are having some problems. plus, several key players from both teams were both injured. Recently, it was reported that Mbappe would be absent after getting injured against Montpellier. according to rumors, Mbappe will be out for the next three weeks. that means, Mbappe is doubtful that he will be able to appear with PSG against Bayern Munich later. and if these rumors are true, automatically PSG's front line will lose its sharpness a little. It's a shame, because this match is an important match for PSG.

Meanwhile, Nagelsmann's squad still hasn't returned to showing its true form. the absence of several players who were injured caused Bayern's performance to decline slightly. with the situation that happened to these two teams, it looks like the match in the first leg will not be so interesting.
We have too much similarity in both team's performance after break with too many injuries and performance level is also not as they were doing before break even in last nigh game both done good performance in away matches but still they need more improvement for the better results in Champions League but here I have feeling in this all situation PSG is still better than Bayern Munich because in last three Bundesliga games they have just three points with their attack is not sharp as it needs to be on target which is surely problem for them and Nagelsmann having the biggest concern about this as well.
 
In PSG case, they lost Mbappé for the first round match but still their attack is having better power and depth for this game because Messi and Neymar both can handle this all situation, and they can break Bayern Munich defense for the better result of the first round match in Mbappé absence.


Honestly, in this game the possibilities are open, and things can happen either way, I think that both teams have the quality to be the winners, of course if we are willing to look closely, I think that PSG would have the advantage Due to the quality of hjyugadroes that you have, the case of Ney, Mbappé, Messi, they are a winning combination from the point of view that you look at, I don't see a breaking point there, you have to wait to see how things continue within the team, lately they had not tended to be able to be more consistent, soccer is very complicated, a match that can be seen easy for PSG can be very complicated, even losing it.

Felix must try to train hard to execute even better especially trying to train to make an accurate shot. The second leg gonna be hot caused by chelsea was only losing 1 goal. It can comeback anytime.

 If you say Felix needs to try hard to execute his chances and all that then it means his no good addition to the team. I mean look at this Chelsea side, they're just bunch of jokers running around from one end to the other, this Chelsea players have lost it as it is and to top it all, no team spirit at all. There's no way they can play as a unit, something is really wrong with the team, I really don't think is the coach but part of the problem is some of the players.
 They lost to a better side in the Champions league and the return leg is going to be disastrous. I'll say it's disappointing because after buying all those players and they can't deliver what's the point in getting them? Is it to come and showcase their names on the Chelsea color? Hell no,  they need to make some changes, drop some players and start those ones that are eager to play. And to rap it up, Felix is one of the best amongst all the players they bought.

No, wait a minute, the technique that Joao Félix has is good, what happens is that he had no luck, that was all, but the technique is impeccable, right now for a player to learn or change something in his technique is difficult, they already know it, what they can do is improve the technique so that it adapts much better to what Chelsea needs and that's what training sessions are for, for me the best were Joao Félix and Enzo, although everyone criticizes Enzo for the goal What they did to him, it's not the right thing to do, first because he put up with the player well, he did what every defense always does, but the player decided to give that one he couldn't reach and goal, but it was a deadly counterattack for Chelsea.
