By 2024 end, we are probably going to have something much better, it will not be too simple but we will definitely see it do well enough. I mean we are at a stage where things are not that easy to handle at the moment, but the halving is nearing as well, with the halving underway, the rest of the year should be much better.

I personally believe that we are going to do fine, we just need to end up with a lot better result eventually if we know what we are doing. I am very well aware of the situation that we are going to end up with a much better result by the end of the year. This is of course what the market is saying in general, so I can't really say I have any proof about it, that is not how things work, so I can't really know.

That is definitely true but also true for almost every single team. Without Curry Warriors are nothing, without Lebron the Lakers would be, without Jokic Denver would be, I can continue but every team that has a star that makes them good and the rest are helping the star player out.

Sixers unfortunately lost this season, Embiid will be out whole year so Sixers are just going to end up focusing on what they can do to improve the rest of the team, that's all they can do, this year is already gone, it was already very very questionable that they could win the title with Embiid, probably wouldn't but without Embiid? It's now guaranteed that they would not. If it happened a bit earlier, they could have tanked for a pick if they had any.

The fact that Barcelona is not second and with only 8 point difference, on the year that Xavi got "fired" is still beyond bonkers. Like a few more bad games by Real and suddenly Barcelona is in contention to win the whole thing, how could they think that's bad season? In any case, Girona could make a comeback and be second too but I do not think that they will keep that going for a long time, it feels like they are going to end up with a bad result eventually here and there, which will make Barcelona second.

Real once again won a game last minutes with luck, that is becoming more common these days, if you look at the games they won after 80th+ minute, you will see that they had more in the last 2 months than the first 5 months of the season.

Everyone keeps saying that Liverpool played kids and all that, but I checked the line ups, while it may not be all that ideal, they weren't really kids neither. There were some of the big names as well, along with of course kids too. I think that's the point, we are talking about combination of both and that matters.

We are seeing them getting a title and not like that's news neither, Liverpool has been great since Klopp took over, won this before and they have won UCL and the league and the FA Cup, so they won it all and this is one of the least important ones. If Sheffield united won it, then I would understand why they would be happy, but caraboa cup? I really do not think that this one means all that much for them.

That is unfortunately the reality for anyone who has a gambling addict friend or family member. They end up not listening to what you are saying, thinking that they are going to end up winning and that results with them not doing all that well, which results with some sort of trouble one way or another.

The best thing to do would be just making sure that we help them as much as we can but after a while it is not really our problem and they should have listened to us when they had the chance. If they come back and ask for more, then we all know that they will keep doing it forever, so you can't pity them and give money even once, even for unrelated to gambling stuff, because they would just go gamble with it anyway.

Figuring out how to get better is not really a shocking new thing, it has been a thing for decades and I think it's overstated. When you are in a business, it could be a job, a company you own, or even crypto trading, if you do it long enough then one part of your job is to use the new stuff. You think that developers and graphic designers are not looking into AI at all? They work with it every single day to get better, most of the great AI users that you see today are people who had jobs in the field.

Of course there are rare situations where ones who are in it do not look and the ones who are out tries to start looking into it, but those are rare cases. People who have jobs that have new tech, will always take a look at it all the time, not a new thing.

Xabi Alonso is the way to go and there is really not even a discussion about it. Liverpool has enough money to get his mind, they are a great club, they are a premier league club as well, and he would be mad to turn them down. I am not talking about similar amounts of money, they can afford to pay him double the amount and they would still be fine, it's not going to be even remotely similar.

I believe that we are going to end up with something much easier for him as well, being in such a great club means that he will do fine one way or another. Although, it might be a tough one as well because it means that even being second is not enough sometimes and that could be a problem for him, he may not want that kind of pressure.

I agree that having a lot of tickets doesn't guarantee anyone a win, there are people with MILLIONS of tickets and still lose, which is funny to me but they are not getting that much tickets because they want to win something, they are whales who gamble a lot and they just happen to be rewarded those tickets, they are not actually going out and buying lottery tickets.

So, this type of thinking that you should be winning because you have put so much into it makes no sense to me, it's really not the way to go, it is not how it works. You should probably consider the situation to be a bit different, try to find something else if you could, that would make more sense. I would say the best way to go would be just getting a good result from what you do.

Everyone talked about how Sociedad had a big chance to win, and I knew that it wouldn't be such an easy game for them. I did not guess it right, I thought it would be a tie and that is why I bet them to draw but I was wrong a bit less as well. I wasn't one of those majority that thought Real Sociedad would win, that is not what happened, I thought that they would draw at least, but even further than that Villareal literally dominated the game and won.

This is why I believe that we are going to end up with something that probably made a lot of people lose. I think it's clear that it will not be easy for Real Sociedad to bounce back from this, it feels like not an easy thing to do. I hope that they could get better eventually.

Bologna definitely looks like a brand new team, I did not expected them to do this well, kudos for them to get the fourth place. Of course they have more games at hand, so they may still lose their position but it's still fine for them to be there even temporarily, it is not an easy thing to do.

I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that we are dealing with a much better situation for them and betting accordingly. I have started to bet on their win recently and even though there were few surprises along the way, they did pretty well overall. Of course the biggest shock has been Juventus lately and lets see how they will do, it feels like it is not going to be all that easy to handle their momentum.

Honestly it has been a bright week for me, the bets are all looking good so far. It's fine that there could be some surprises here and there as long as the general outlook is fine, and I think it should be like that for the future as well, by the looks of it we can say that it is clearly a lot better situation. When the unlikely teams win in bunches that's bad, but if it happens just once a week then that's good because it means all the other bets are correct and you make up for it.

If you go 7-1 or 6-2 in most cases you are in profit and this has been one of those days for me, just 1 loss and the rest were full wins. That is usually a good result and I have made some good return, something like 15% nothing big but fine.

I am not entirely sure if Ivan Toney is the one they should be looking for though. I get that they do need a striker and don't get me wrong Toney is a good player, but he is not the "we won UCL with this striker" level at all. They really need to get someone much more major. Arsenal is a rich club, wit ha rich history, and a lot of revenue from many sources.

I understand that it may not be easy to do it, but how about Mbappe? Real may offer him something good there is no doubt about that and he does want to go to Real, but if Arsenal offers much more money then Mbappe is famously known for being a greedy player, and it would be quite possible for him to accept a much bigger offer. In a world where Real offers 35-40, maybe offering 50-55 or even 60 a year to him could make them pay a lot and that's financially irresponsible I agree but they could actually make that back. They can win the league and do so well at UCL, that should cover most costs anyway.

All the republicans who supported him saying they shouldn't invest into Ukraine's independence, will now support him and say that they should help Ukraine a lot. Politics has always been like that, whatever your guy says is true and right and whatever the other guy says is wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to bash any republicans here, same would be true for Biden, if Biden wakes up tomorrow and decides to stop helping Ukraine, there will be democrats who will say "yeah enough is enough we should stop Biden is right" as well.

It makes no sense to have two party system, you have hooligans of each party and they will support their party no matter what happens. There are few people who change parties time to time, but very few of them, not a lot.

It was a tough night for Galatasaray, and it is definitely a shame that they lost that badly, and I believe that they are going to do something major with the team about that. They failed to have the full squad ready and we are in February right now, to think that a few players couldn't be ready for February games should mean that there is something wrong with the team, and that is why I believe that they are going to end up with much better transfers from here on out.

The problem with clubs is that they are not really that consistent with the staff, and when staff learns their lessons from mistakes, they end up getting fired for those mistakes and never show how they improved. Next season, I bet they will get players who are much more ready to play.

Al Hilal definitely looks like the better team and I am guessing that they will win the league, not sure if they will win the AFC, but they are doing their best as well. In the end, wea re going to see them dominate AFC with all saudi teams because they are spending so much money on the players so they should be getting the wins anyway, it should be the thing that people expect.

Al-Nassr or Al Hilal should be getting the win there and the cup too. A situation where AL Hilal wins both the league and AFC at the same time could be something amazing for them, they are going to end up with a great situation and that would show the world that you do not need to get aging old stars to be a good team if you can offer players who are on their prime a lot of money as a salary, they did that and they spent less than what Al Nassr pays for Ronaldo.

It is really a very big shame and I did not expected him to be fired this quickly. Maybe it is not really a firing but he just didn't feel the pressure there to be worth it. He is a great player in the Barcelona history and he just saw no end to their financial misery and the team was doing nothing to stop it, so they were just dealing with trouble after trouble and he couldn't get any decent players for the amount of money they had, they had trouble even keeping the players they had.

So, he saw that things will not get any better and decided maybe to just quit, he already won a title with them, 50% title run is not bad and he could quit while he is still remembered as a good manager. It would be unfair to him if they played a few more seasons with him and lost it all.

Offense has improved a lot as well, it is not just about people not having tough defense anymore, not even about the big guys not having a place anymore, it's offense being more in tune. If you know that the best way to score is either up close, near the layup/dunk levels or three pointers then you do that, why do something like Kobe did? We all love Kobe and he was one of the greatest players to ever play this game and you would be right to put him at around top three of all time greats.

However, that dude missed so many shots as well, there is a reason why he did though, because he played ISO at midrange almost all his career, we now know that is not a good shot. So all in all, efficient and successful quick shooting teams have more chance to win, so why get a huge Shaq guy like guy?

Adrien Newey is one of the greatest car designers in the entire world, in history even, so it's really a very weird feeling to see him build a Red Bull car that seems like the Mercedes one that failed after this new change.

I am not saying that Red Bull will fail, even at testing it looked like they had the best time, so I am not saying this new car is bad, but the question needs to be asked, what did Mercedes failed to do with this design that they had to change it whereas Newey found a way to make it work and insists on this being the car? I feel like he found the problem that Mercedes couldn't find and that's why he made this change, so the result is definitely questioned and we are going to see if it will work as well as he hopes it would.

I would have understood if Arsenal played much better but just got unlucky, that happens in football, just recently City had 25+ shots and scored only once, that type of unlucky situation could have happened and I would totally understand that.

But Arsenal didn't even play all that well, it didn't become all that obvious for that and that's the trouble for me, why didn't they played that well and I think that should be the most important part of it we should consider the situation to be a little bit different in this case. I understand why people would have trouble with it, but that doesn't mean that we should be considering Arsenal as unlucky, they just straight up played terrible and that's their problem, they should fix something next time.

Roma and Milan duo of course looks to be strong candidates and I do agree that they are good teams that could end up winning the Europa cup if they can get lucky in few games, they have nobody else than these three teams that can beat them, or of course they could be unlucky and lose to anyone as well.

However, we should not consider them to be all that different, not all that difficult but not all that easy neither. There is a reason why everyone thinks Liverpool or Leverkusen will win, because they are just by far the best and that is why people will end up supporting them all the way through, there is nothing else to be done about this for sure. We just need to consider them to be the leading candidates because they are so good.
