The key factor in here is doing the reverse martingale and stopping at the right time.  In reverse martingale, we double as we win, if we are lucky enough to have 5 consecutive wins and stop. In a bet of $2 dollars 5 consecutive wins can earn us $64 at most.
Reverse martingale and other variations of martingale are actually a lot worse when compared to the original which is why most gamblers including me tend to stick to the original strategy itself.

Another reason as to why the original is more popular in comparison is because many gamblers are unaware of its variations.

Well, the truth is, I've never done the inverted martingale, I don't really know how to do it, but every time you win, it doubles? It's like doing the martingale but in a slightly more dangerous way, that's how I see it, I don't know if it's a good idea, in any case I think you can try with the balance you say, it's not bad, it's not good either, but it is a way that you have to be able to do things differently and look for more fun, the important thing is that the balance that you are willing to lose, respect the plan and strategy that you have very well, if the s is not met Due to one's own rules, I think that's the main flaw.
6022  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io|🎁XMAS PARTY for $1 200 000| Win Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Crypto😎 on: January 06, 2023, 02:59:40 PM
I have staked around 4000 BFG tokens in total and have already quite a few times withdrawed money (always small amounts) and has never been asked to submit KYC. Probably if the amounts would be much higher, I might be asked to do it.
4000 BFG is not a big value in USD at the current price it is around $ 50, and if you say you have withdrawn several times even with a small amount I suspect that your investment in BFG has provided profit or BEP, if yes this makes me interested to also start doing BFG staking especially if betfury absolutely will never ask for KYC.
For BFG staking they provide multiple coin rewards which is a very good feature.  So investing in BFG is a very good plan for gamblers.  Although the price of this token is decreasing day by day to maintain the market consistency.  But its staking ward is recovering a lot of that loss. Since the price of BFG token is very low now, there is a good chance of getting a good amount of reward by investing only $100 in token staking.

The staking APY is just minimal compared to the price value decrease per day especially that the reward is on different token which price is falling too. The passive income from staking is somehow helpful to recover some losses but it's not good compared when just didn't hold any BFG tokens at during this bear market. The price will keeps falling because new BFG tokens is continuously added on the circulating supply since the total supply is not yet max out.

Some people might view staking as positive way to recover loss but the consistent price down trend is a serious problem that needs to be considered on making investment.

That's the dilemma in the staking type of investments. You are only hoping that they will recover their price later on.
But for those who are staking, definitely, it is not advisable to sell while the price is at a loss.
However, you should look also on where they are regarding their developments and all, if they have the chance to get better in the future.
As we can see, betfury has relatively good number of players, and with their promotions, you can see that they are pretty good in terms of revenues.
So their token's price may be also due to the bearish season of the crypto market in general, just monitor when btc starts to go up if their token's price will also improve.
Yes, that is indeed what you say, everyone's hope is that Btc can rise in price and things improve, even for BFG tokens, but I think that for the team to do the occasas better they should do something more striking, I don't know if contests to encourage people to buy BFG, or something like that, maybe a trading contest or something like that, they have to really get into it and see if they can succeed with it and before or in this season which is really bearish they can do the difference, but I think the team should do something very exciting, they can set up an internal forum, something that incentivizes players to win BFGs, implement having a bigger community.


Casino faucets gives gamblers a chance to test the game using that collected faucet rewards

That thing can be discussed. What about demo or free money then? They also give chance to test any game on a platform. They even give more chances to test any game. Lets take BetFury for example - you get 42 sat hourly. Minimum bet is 1 sat in casual games, slots usually ask 1 cent for a spin, which is more than 1 sat, and blackjack ask 10 cents for example. So I would not call faucet as something you use to test games. It is more like a way to hold customers imho.

Well, I think that the important thing here is to know how to enjoy the benefits of a casino, if we don't start to think that we will use a faucet only to extract money, make a profit, that is the worst thing anyone can imagine, because it will be very difficult. to do it, I know that there are many who will try that option, but it is something that will take a lot of time and effort, I do not see it as viable, while if a casino gives the option of giving a faucet with enough balance for an average player to play at less than 2 minutes, that will remain in your mind the way you want to continue playing and you will not waste the opportunity to make a small deposit, I think that is the purpose of a faucet now.

These added stuff that you do are quite important to most gamblers because it means you get to gamble the way you want without worry of a loss. It should be highlighted a lot more, nobody should learn what it is here, that just doesn't make sense, it should be yelled on every social media platform they have so people learn about it directly from rollbit. In any case, the NFT part was what I wanted to talk about, haven't seen anything big about that lately, hope that they didn't just shelf the idea and work towards making it a bit more famous andp popular so that it would gain in price again.
Yes, this is indeed something that does not have much to do with what you want or the concept of what you have of an NFT, but I think that the NFTs that have been presented in Rollbit do not degenerate or suffer as they did in 2021 with the NFT games, Rollbit changed the landscape for those who believed or were looking for an NFT, it is something that is not common, some believe that being the NFT in a casino is more security and yes, it absolutely represents security, because a casino does not He'll run off with other people's money, just like some game devs did, for that reason I think NFTs can go the way the market is going.

Yes, I cannot deny that when I enter the casino and see that I no longer have a chance to win anything, it makes me somewhat angry, because I think that the bonuses should not expire, although that would be very good in a casino that the bonuses did not have. issue date, and so when we enter, well, we take advantage of all the bonuses to make the experiences much more exciting, I think that in particular and I believe that it would make a difference, perhaps the casinos will not have taken that into account? It is an option that I had not thought of, but it occurred to me right now, it would be good if some casinos could study this option, I think that this could be a great option.

There is no reason for a casino to set no expiration date on their bonuses. By setting expiration date, players are forced to return back to the website and probably spend few dollars after using their bonuses. Its pretty much marketing tricks though but it works the best on larger userbase I supposed



Hitting this baby right here yesterday  Smiley. Decent stake on it as well





I understand your position and yes, it may be that way, but it is much better for a player to return to a casino because he likes it and not to forget that he has to return, the bonus is not a prerequisite for the player to return, because it would sometimes be seen as an option to take advantage of to win, but it is very different because there are times when a player has a job all day, it can be an office and he does not have time to enter the casino until night and if You are in the mood, seeing that you still have a bonus would be a joy that you will surely take into account so as not to leave the site to try others or simply try your luck in other sites.

  - As a gambler do you use gambling sites to store your coins like what traders are doing on exchanges?
 

I don't think it is good to have your coins saved in gambling casinos because it has no purpose to put it there, it will not increase in the value because it is not exchange or trade that you want to do with it. You can transfer some coins into the casinos account to playing their games for the purpose of that and nothing on it. You can do transfer of the coin to use for gambling, no need to save it there and casino is centralised.
Despite that there are still some decentralized casinos, I would never advise anyone to leave their money in the casinos. That would be so dumb, it's better your coin is in a trusted open-source wallet, and I prefer saving my coin in BTC than any other coin. Your advice of sending the amount needed to play is also a good one as casinos are not your bank or real wallet that you can trust your coins with.

However, most of them are centralized, meaning that your money could go at any time if they have issues or they dupe you.
One of the ways they have to do in the casinos that really hooked people was that they could have done things like use their wallets as private ones for the clients, well in fact there is a casino like freebitco.in that is still up or can be used as a private wallet and I believe that for me in my personal opinion it is the most reliable wallet managed by a platform.

Also, one of the things that was made or promoted from the beginning is that it can be used as a wallet and as a good multiplier, these are the things that many of us loved about the platform from the beginning, but now because of all the FTX madness I think that there is no such trust on any platform.


6025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: January 06, 2023, 01:41:19 PM


I always thought that Ryan Garcia and his camp (including Golden Boy) made the choice and that they have some reasons why it's better for Ryan not to have that tune-up fight, but it seems that it wasn't the case here. Ryan Garcia made the choice by himself and without giving a second thought about it. I agree that it would be a great help for Ryan Garcia to face Gesta first before Tank to get himself accustomed and have some first-hand experience about Tank's movements because Gesta moves like that too.

There were tune fights that ended in upsets, and some big names and legendary boxers have suffered from upsets, like Tommy Morrison, Lennox Lewis, and Mike Tyson, what appear to be easy fights and tune fights for multi-million deals turned into upsets
I will not rule out an upset here, Hector Garcia is a champion, and got a good record he should be motivated to give his all because it will benefit him more and will catapult his name to the top.
But Tank is a risk taker and always ready to take on just anybody something that is missing on Ryan Garcia, they have contrasting characters and personalities.

There are no issues in Tank's side because I know that he can overcome it successfully, it will be a good tune-up fight for him for sure and the experience he will gain from fighting against a champion will help Tank's case to silence Ryan Garcia. But how about Ryan Garcia? His tune-up fight would be a great help for him as well, but he chose not to. Upsets will be always around lurking in the shadows, it's in the boxer if how will he handle the risks.

Many believe that it is better to fight Garcia against Gesta than against Tank, but I don't think it's a good idea, for me the main thing is that he can have a fight against the strongest, and if he beats him then he gains more fame, I think Garcia is here , his secret is in his good training and very strong so that he can give himself in the best way, for me Garcia is one of the boxers who have the most technique and who can face Tank without having to go through a link like Gesta, I also think Gesta is not as soft as a boxer either, many fear Tank, but I think that by now García knows who he is facing and how he should face them.

Ryan Garcia taking aim at Tank and says that he will finished him in 2 rounds, hehehe

Quote
“Prediction for the fight – I say I'll beat him in about two rounds,” Garcia told The Joe Pomp Show.

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-predicts-hell-ko-tank-2-rounds-hes-never-faced-adversity-risk-ring--171581

Ryan already hyping himself in this fight, saying that he will finished him in 2 rounds. I doubt though, Davis is known to be very cautious in the early rounds of his fight, just trying to figure out his opponents before making any adjustments. Specially if his opponent is someone of a knock out artist, just like in the Romero fight wherein he started very slow and trying not to get caught with big punch early. And we wanted the fight a bit longer, so that they will bring the best out of this two boxers.

Big words for a young man that hasn't yet fought any tough opponents in his whole career and saying that he can finish a fight in mere 2 rounds against Tank Davis. Now, I know that he's just trying to hype himself and to market their future fight even though it's not yet fixed but those words are too far from reality because Davis is no ordinary boxer that he can defeat that easily. He may have the size but the IQ belongs to the title holder.

I think that's already a given fact on Ryan, remember he even calls Davis "ugly" to be a champ in the Mike Tyson podcast.

This is 2 years ago and he says the same thing, 2 rounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe35Bmq1A4I

And he still has the same attitude mate, but the good thing is that they are going to face each other and let's see who is going to put to sleep on the canvass and how long this fight is going to last.

From all this speculation I can say something clear, that this fight is getting very good, on the one hand García comes out saying that he will win in 2 rounds, and that causes a lot of anger in Davis, so these things are good in boxing, not only because the fight that they will show, but rather all the fights will be dynamized in favor of a corresponding bet, when a fight is good it is because the fight odds are 50% of each boxer, and they are the biggest bets of all time, each boxer He has done his part, they already have the fame that they like a lot and, above all, the attention of the bettors, that is, the demand is at the right level, I think great things can happen in this fight.

And more things are beginning to develop:

Speaking of Casimero, the decision was turn over no contest to knockout by the KBM (Korea Boxing Member's Commission).

Source: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/othersports/855186/casimero-vs-akaho-result-overturned-to-knockout/story/

Not sure though how will this affect those who bet on Casimero winning by knockout, will casino's also turn over their decision and give the winnings to the bettors? I'm asking this because this is the first time that I see this happening for a a long time.
Thank you for the update bro.
I was expecting that to happen but I didn't know the association will be that fast to investigate and conclude the winner of that fight.
It was too obvious, we all know who won that game.
Now, this will give a push for Casimero for his next battle. Will it be Inoue? If he will stay and try to defend his title then there's a chance they will meet.
Or does Casimero need to fight one more boxer to rank up and reach him?

Maybe the Korean boxing commission was really ashamed on what they see on the Japanese fighter and that's why a swift investigation and reversal of the decision. And Akaho admitted that it he was not really hit behind his head so that admission is enough for them to overturn.

I doubt that Casimero will get Inoue, it seems though that Bob Arum is pushing for Naoya to get an immediate title shot against Fulton.

Although it might hurt those in line, but Top Rank is powerful promotion and could do that to the boxing organizations to request that fight immediately. And it's a good match as well, fans are going to be happy if this fight is going to be made once Inoue moves up.

And Akaho should pay for the embarrassment he gave towards the boxing community because he robbed Casimero's chance to win on that very same day and celebrate afterwards but Ryo Akaho is quite wise to retire first before he was given some penalties as he knew that his career was already over the moment he faked what happened in the ring.

As for Inoue, Bob Arum wasn't the one who is pushing Inoue to fight against Fulton. Truth is, it's the other way around because Arum wanted a much safer journey where his cow, Inoue, can test the waters first before facing Stephen Fulton. It's the WBO who made a huge move and gave Inoue a bantamweight super-champion title where he will have the option to go directly to the champion and waste no more time going through the ranks.

Hopefully, it will be Inoue's decision that will prevail in the end, not Arum. Because that's what Inoue wanted in his 122 lbs, against the champion in Stephen Fulton.

And maybe at the back of the mind of Arum, his cash cow could be damage, but as we have seen Inoue's rise to fame, he has improved a lot so it's going to be a good match and I think he has a equal chances against Fulton or any champion at 122 lbs.

So bring Inoue to fight any one them and chase for another greatness in the super bantamweight division.


Well the truth about Casimero and Inoue what happened to that? I know that Inoue is ignoring him, it seems that he didn't want him to be able to face him, it's as if he was avoiding it, I know that when Casimero was going to appeal and was challenging, he couldn't hold back and at once he sent the arrow to Inoue, I think That for that reason is that he will not want to fight him? Although I have seen that Inoue is a calm boxer, he does not mess with anyone and apart from that, he is someone who can give his best without saying much, perhaps his culture applies it totally to what sport is, he only does his job to the best of his ability possible without much talking.


If intentionally done and the wild social media attacks take place it will mean of their job, I see your point about that and maybe refs are already aware though we can't tell if they can take that risk, most probably if the money that is being offer is really enticing and can't be ignored, those refs can take it and deal with it.

Even they are risking their job, they are willing to take that to have an instant bulk of money in their paycheck.

With the nature of their job, I think they won't hesitate to take the offer behind the curtain as long as they see some advantage for them the offer. That's why even the Refs are paid to let the other fighter win, we cannot really see how they perform their tricks but we are certain it's there, especially when the fights are close and they find a way to give the other fighter an advantage like for example letting him hit his opponents in the back head which truly has huge damage if constantly done.

I think referee could be as corrupt as the organizations themselves, we have seen some bad calls to the point that it's clear to us that they are biased. Speaking of referee, what do you think of using reply in boxing?

In any case, it's really hard to really have a perfect fight without the referee and the judges messing it up, specially great fights like the Akaho vs Franco recently wherein it was really controversial scoring.

That has become a norm in boxing, don't expect too much, just enjoy the fight, and always believe that sometimes decisions of the refs are not in our favor. Even since in the past, there were allegations already that sports are corrupt, maybe because people are also betting that's why they fix the game to give the bookies huge money, or worst if the fighters themselves would try to sell the fight.
Now the focus of our discussion in this thread is based more than anything on the arbitration decisions, and it is something very important, but how can we go against what supposedly some very experts decide? how to do it? Yes, we are people who can also have many ways of thinking, sometimes we mix emotions with our favorite boxers, and sometimes we have a very impartial position for the decision, we as boxing fans sometimes do not understand referee decisions, but If we refuse to see, they are the ones who are authorized to make decisions, the most transparent thing they can do is show the scoring criteria and release them to the public so that nothing is questioned, that is what I can think of as a solution .
6027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 06, 2023, 12:30:30 PM
I'm still negative about Roma and will continue to be as well. Because as long as Mourinho continues to use the same old boring strategies there is no way this team are having a much better season than the last one. Currently it is like there is nothing changed for this team comparing to the previous season. They are still losing so many points and staying behind many big teams in the standings.

Obviously Roma need a substantial change in their game plan. They need to have a more attacking focused game rather than a cautious one.
I will not talk about Roma Serie A games before the break nor about their friendlies where they can test or play less seriously, but I will talk about their upcoming games in January, Roma will face Bologna, Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli. No one of these games should be underestimated. Milan and Napoli are the hardest one obviously but Fiorentina and Bologna are respectable teams that could surprise bigger ones.
Dunno how Mourinho prepared his team to face them but having bad results in all of them will make the whole situation very weird..

Well, to be honest, I don't see Mou as a bad technical director, I see him as the opposite, it should be noted that some games or the last games did not have Dybala, who is undoubtedly one of the players who makes the difference among all, his great injury affected him a lot, perhaps that is why Roma did not shine, however, he could say that Mou has something prepared for them, this tenuous director may seem from the old school and his methods may be orthodox, but he is very good, I consider him one of the best in the world, what happens is that his players have to follow everything he directs them very well.

In the match between Inter vs Napoli, Napoli did not score any goals after playing very well. However, Napoli played very well from the beginning to the end of the game. Neither team could score any goals before the halftime of the game. But after the halftime, Inter scored 1 goal and won the match.  Inter did not perform very well in the match. I expected Napoli to win this match. But Napoli did not score any goals in this match so they lost the match.
Napoli Played very well, they also dominated the match, The opportunities that the Napoli players got were not put to good use, no goals were scored by the Napoli players throughout the match. Inter instead took advantage of the Napoli players stalemate, one goal from Inter was enough to stop Napoli winning streak of 15 matches.
This victory further strengthens Inter position in fourth place, now Simone Inzhagi team is three points ahead of Lazio who is in fifth place. The top four positions are back in the hands of the top teams, the competition will still continue because Lazio and Roma are still trying to get into the top four, especially since the difference in points with Inter and Juventus is not too far.

Well this is something as I have always said, it is useless to play very well and in the end lose, sometimes soccer is not about playing well or better than the rival, because if you win it is because you did something or everything better than him. rival or if in any case you win by luck it is because you were still better than the rival, sometimes we see football as deserved, and it is not like that, in football the one who scores the most goals wins or the goal necessary to win the victory these are the main premises, because that is what remains in the story, the score and not who played better and almost won.

Napoli cannot be neglected anymore, I understand that Inter is a great team, one of the best in Italy and they demonstrated their supremacy, but they can no longer afford to lose, because losing the advantage they have in Serie A would be a total loss pity.

Here is an important summary:

6028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 06, 2023, 12:01:04 PM
Barcelona and Real Madrid both have comfortable fixtures ahead of them now. The opponents are Espanyol and Valladolid respectively. I don't expect any mistakes from both favourites.

Barcelona have already been very comfortable against smaller teams in the league for a long time. As for Real Madrid it has been a little complicated recently. They lost points in really unexpected games which was a big help for Barcelona to take the lead from Real Madrid. With the return of Benzema I think Real Madrid will fight stronger than before. Ancelotti should be successful with helping his players have full concentration on their games from now on.
Benzema is indeed a top priority at Real Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti should not depend on Benzema alone because they have many players that can be used to work well together. The two teams are fighting very fiercely, so this will be a match that is highly anticipated for taking first place at the top of the La Liga standings.

What happens is that at Real Madrid Benema is connected, and the tencio director has all the trust in him in the world, despite everything I think he is a very good player for him to contribute, in fact I think that without Benezema it would have been impossible that Real Madrid had not won the orejona, this is something that is known in advance, but taking into account that Benzema was or is coming from a recovery period, it can be said that now Real Madrid is much more connected with his team, I don't know if he will continue in the France team, but if Zidane will be in charge, he will undoubtedly call him and need his services.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have Dominated that league this season, they are on the same points and already set pace for others teams like Atheletico Madrid, Athletic Bibao, Real Betis and Real soceidad, catching them by this wil be a difficult one and they both have tough matches next with Barcelona taking Atheletico Madrid and Real Madrid taking on Villarreal, they both need victory in these games because any slip might prove too costly and the season is already heading to the critical stage when teams will be battling relegation with there lives and the European qualifying spot will be taking more seriously, I think a victory over this teams wil be give them both an advantage
They are only at the same level in La Liga, whereas in other competitions they are always different, including this season. You will see Barcelona in the Europa League after the team failed in the Champions League, while Real Madrid is still in the Champions League and there is a possibility to continue to survive until the final because Real Madrid is the defending champion in the Champions League and is still very strong to continue competing in this competition. So these two teams are only the same in terms of points in La Liga, while the others are very much different.
Yes, for now the quality of the squad for Barcelona and Real Madrid is very different. In my opinion the Los Blancos squad is superior to the Blaugrana. At the moment they do have the same points, but I'm sure that on the way later Madrid will again be able to take the top spot and at the same time will widen the gap with its nemesis, moreover Karim Benzema and friends will still have a chance during the El Clasico match later. But it is possible that there will be a quicker change at the top of the standings, because at the weekend Real Madrid and Barcelona will face teams that are quite balanced for them.

@G_Besar if Barcelona wishes to win the La Liga title then they need to drop out of Europa league, because if they continue playing football on Thursday night their player’s will be tired hence their position on the table could change if they continue to remain in the Europa league. Lastly if Barcelona sell some player’s and manage to recruit new player’s then they could offer some tough competition to Real Madrid, but for now I feel that Real Madrid will win the title even if they don’t make any new additions to their squad.

That is what I also think, Barcelona is a very big team and they play well, there is no denying it, but I think that even to be at the level of two things is a bit far, it must be taken into account that for now what The most they are pursuing is to be first in the League, but I also see it as far away, because the League could be managed very soon by Real Madrid, it is seen that Barcelona is in flux and this is without mentioning the financial problems that are very Obviously, aside from that, one could say that if they win the Europa League, it would be the best for them, but they have great opponents and it will be very difficult to do so.

Meanwhile in Barcelona they insist on other sides:

There will be a quite big competition for the second spot in the standings for certain.

I especially expect a competition among Marseille, Monaco and Rennes for that. Maybe I'm prejudiced about Lens but I don't feel like they will be able to keep up this level until the end of the season. They aren't normally a very familiar team with their current place in the league. I can't overlook their impressive effort until now of course. But considering their performance last season I feel like it will be the same for them. They will lose their momentum at a point and it will be the start of their fall. For the second spot, I'm favouring Marseille for now.

Well, for a long time there has been a hegemony of PSG, so the first place is no longer debatable, because it is always PSG, but I think that in this case the best lineup has is Marseille, I see it well and It is a team that when they say they play very well7, they do it in a spectacular way, but nevertheless I have been seeing some not very good behaviors, they are somewhat negative and the players do not believe it, and that is something negative, when they play against PSG it is as if they had too much respect for them and it is not something that is good, they should lose that respect and play one on one, without lowering their heads, that is why I have more expectations about Marseille than any other.

Even though there were some players at PSG who might have had to lose when they met Messi and also Argentina in the world cup round yesterday, it seems that it is not a problem now that they are all getting along and are back to focusing together to give the best for PSG. In the next game PSG will host against Angers which we know is now in the relegation zone and it looks like it will be an easy opponent for PSG, I'm sure this time PSG will win easily.
they were professional players, of course it would be fine as long as they weren't involved in any troublesome personal conflicts.
PSG in the previous match against Lens had to lose 3-1. this makes Lens continue to pursue the difference in points. the next match should be easy for PSG to get 3 points and also quite a lot of goals. but now that competition in Europe has also become denser, PSG must also focus on the French Cup and the Champions League.
It would be very funny when the Paris Saint Germain players who competed in the Qatar 2022 World Cup didn't get along. lol
Their interests are different if they are already in a team, moreover that team pays them. They are professional players and as professional players they must put their personal interests above the interests of the team they strengthen, that's how it should be. At club level, this is an opportunity for them to complement each other to create a dream team.

It is that this happens, at least I know that Mbappé with Messi and Ney the relationship is not very good, I think it can be strictly professional, however they must understand each other in their team to be able to have good results, but the combination Messi + Ney is enough how to get PSG forward without any problem, and taking into account that between Messi and Mbappé there is a disagreement that became evident in the final, that is something that is not forgotten, with Ney it is obvious that there will always be, but the quality Ney's is too big to be tarnished by Mbappé, these things will always spread in football and the mere fact that Ney and Messi are South Americans adds much more to Mbappé's pique.

And here it becomes clear:

5 things we noticed about Lionel Messi's return to PSG, including Kylian Mbappe's absence

Quote
Lionel Messi received a guard of honour as he made his return to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday – and we spotted a number of interesting details throughout, including the reaction of Ethan Mbappe.

After helping Argentina lift a historic World Cup last month, Messi was handed a well-deserved 10-day break by the Ligue 1 champions.

During that time, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner celebrated with his La Albiceleste teammates on an open-top bus parade before being mobbed by thousands of fans in his hometown of Rosario.

And now, the former Barcelona forward has returned to Les Parisiens' training base ahead of their Coupe de France clash against Chateauroux on Friday.

It is evident that envy exists at all levels, it is something normal, it is like that everywhere, now, I am not satisfied with this, if France had been champion and Mbappé had won the Champion's gait, I am sure Messi would have done. been there and happy anyway to honor an Mbappé.
6030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: January 06, 2023, 03:34:41 AM
if not managed to get the Europa League. It will also be difficult in La Liga because Barcelona is not completely safe yet. Madrid is very close, and it won't be easy for Barca.
if the Europa League is too difficult for Barca later, hopefully, Barca can focus on La Liga, that's all that can prove the current performance of the squad. Likewise with Xavi's proof. though fans can see how much change Xavi has brought to the team. without trophies, you will not be praised.

But from what I can see from the players' performance in the world cup and the team's situation during this season, I can say the truth even if I can a fan of Manchester united I think Barcelona got a better chance because Xavi can give a better atmosphere to his team and can make them a better situation also his a champion for his club but there not a such situation on the other side of the story for Manchester united. Yet nothing is clear to me but I guess this season Barcelona will win the cup.

Well, with regard to Barcelona, two things must be highlighted, first, due to the way things are at Barcelona, they should focus only on one thing or on a single objective, either the league or the Europa League, but I think so they want to win both, the most likely thing is that they can't do it and they don't achieve either of them, in Barcelona's place I wouldn't think about anything else but winning the Europa League, so as not to be left out of the UCL, the UCL gives much more money, more attention, more reputation and the team acquires another way of seeing it worldwide, the league is important, but I think they should aim for the main objective.

With the return of the league and us seeing the performances of the two clubs that will meet later, it slowly changes our view because we look at the recent performances of the clubs. It's no wonder now that the advantage has shifted to Manchester United, who look better than Barcelona in their respective domestic leagues. Even though before that I myself leaned a little towards Barcelona, but now it's slowly changing. I don't know whether Barcelona will be able to appear more promising in the next match or if it's even worse. They will meet Atletico Madrid in Week 16 of La Liga, and it will be a very difficult opponent for them. There are approximately 1.5 months left for us to watch the Europa League matches.
The era of Manchester United to rise has become increasingly visible since being handled by Erik Ten Hak, of the 27 matches they have played in all competitions, Manchester United have only suffered defeats against Aston Villa, Manchester City, Real Sociedad, Brentford and Brighton, that means they only lost five times in all competitions. This result is far better than the achievements of the previous Manchester United coach since the Ferguson Era ended.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is also not too bad this season, but if you look at the last five meetings, Manchester United have only been able to beat Barcelona 1 time, lost 3 times and drew 1 time. The first leg will be held at Camp Nou, and I hope Manchester United can at least draw because it will open up the chance to beat Barcelona when playing at Old Trafford.
Regardless of everything that actually happened, these two clubs have actually improved compared to before, but there are indeed some criticisms and doubts about their internal problems, such as Manchester United with all kinds of problems with its players and Xavi who is still criticized for losing 2 times in a row in 2 seasons in the Champions League which made him seem powerless for big competitions.
On the other hand it will be a good play-off because the one who wins from this game will be a candidate who is actually quite strong in the europa league.

As I have seen these two teams, to be honest they are really bad for me, both teams have many disadvantages and have many shortcomings, you cannot cover the sun with a finger, for me Xavi is much better than Ten Hag, I think In these matches I would lean much more towards supporting Barcelona than Manchester United itself, even though I am not a Barcelona fan, but I know how to recognize when there is a better attitude, a better coach and a better team, even though Man United has a A great team needs to mature a lot, especially due to the performances of its players from Portugal, I think the only player who plays a lot for me is Antony, who should leave that team and not bury his future there.

Manchester still gives a lot to talk about regarding transfers:

6031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 06, 2023, 03:12:09 AM
Seeing things like this for Dortmund is actually not too surprised because this is like a tug of war for them and in the end players who are interested in big clubs will leave with high prices in transfers later.
I think this is like a trick for Dortmund because sometimes things like this always happen, but I think if this player is left and Bellingham is going to leave it will obviously be difficult for them to navigate the season too.
Borussia Dortmund is never been interested into winning Bundesliga because their business model is one just bringing low price players and then give them good training as they prepared better than sell them at higher prices they are doing this for many decades and this is surely best for the Bayern Munich which is the best beneficiary of this all and having many players and trophies in German soccer just because of the help from Dortmund.

In last season they already sell their best player Haaland to Manchester City, and now they are preparing for the big deal of the Jude Bellingham which is already under the radar of Real Madrid and Manchester City, and they can take big amount with the sell of him.

Well, the truth is, I also believe that Dortmund has that business model, for me it is one of the clubs that have the most to be able to get their hands on the best players, or we can deny that Lewa came out of there, also Haaland, so I don't know If that is as good or better than winning a Bundesliga or even winning a UCL, what I have in my mind is that if we put these things in context, does it make more money to do it like this or by winning? because by winning I know that apart from receiving a very good reputation they can have good rewards to be able to give them to their players and to the club, in addition I don't see a bad thing that they can train them and leave them there for themselves.

The problem with Dortmund is that they don't want to get out of their comfort zone.
They could actually do something like this too but maybe there is a condition where they are very risky and have to spend a lot of money when they try to compete with Bayern in the Bundesliga and they don't want that so they stay in their comfort zone by continuing to use young talented players they are an asset to benefit the club when they are sold and I personally don't really like this kind of condition even though maybe this is for the benefit of the club but as fans maybe we want the best for the club especially in terms of trophies.
Dortmund has been doing business like that for a long time. if they don't sell some of the good players they have, of course competing with Munich for the Bundesliga trophy is very possible.
at least Dortmund is always reckoned at the top of the Bundesliga standings. their performance has had its ups and downs, but they have always been able to overcome problems to finish at the top of the standings. even though they didn't win.

Yes, it's very true, but why won't they try to play and fight for the Bundesliga cup? I have realized that there are many teams in the 2nd Bundesliga that want to be the best and that try to fight to be in the top positions to move on to the Bundesliga with many illusions, Dortmund with so much potential, cannot remain only in the sale of its best players, Bayern's hegemony has to end, this could have a different tone than the Bundesliga, and bearing in mind that now Bayern will have a tough match against PSG in the UCL, it will test all odds, most they are inclined towards PSG winning, I still have a reserved prognosis.

Almost users who reply in this thread are mention trusted and popular KYC casino, there's a trusted and popular casino too it's Freebitco.in. Unlike the other casinos if you win big and you want to withdraw your money, you will get asked to submit KYC. But in this casino they will never ask you to submit KYC even if you win big, they will let you to withdraw very smoothly. Even if you're abusing their rules and cheating, they will not ask you KYC, but your account will get terminated.
If we can avoid KYC, well that’s a good casino to go. While others have been asking more of your personal information for KYC verification, I’m surprised Freebitco.in also has its own different way. But terminating your account is even worst more, but that’s good enough for those who think abusing and cheating are always okay in gambling.

The truth is that I don't get too complicated, I know there are casinos that can KYC but I can't provide them, I always don't play there, a principle Freebitco.in has been the school for many in the crypto and gaming world, if we take Considering that now we can do other types of things taking advantage of platforms that do not have KYC requirements, there are very few, we have no idea if they are really without KYC requirements, due to the licensing problem and everything that has to do with the casinos and their originality and to be well with the requirements that are of world demand.

6033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using Bonus Buy or Not Using Bonus Buy? on: January 06, 2023, 12:55:50 AM
The maximum Bonus Buy I can take is $40 Grin

I am very afraid to buy Bonus Buy $80 because I can not risk too big money to buy the feature. But usually, I choose the lowest Bonus Buy and I see I can get a nice return from that Bonus. Sometimes, I can double the amount from that feature because my luck comes at the right time.

40$ value of a bonus bet or buy-in feature was already a decent bet. I sometimes take $40 worth of buying the bonus game but that's not the always case since in that price range, I already considered it as not a cheap price. For let's say $40 is the cheapest amount to buy that bonus, that casino game is not for low-key players like me lol.

Usually, I always risk $10-$15 if available and that was within my budget.

I'd rather spend $10 buying a bonus instead of doing a manual spin and waiting for that bonus game to appear.
That's good for you because at least that's the amount you can afford to play gambling and will not exceed the limits you have set. I'm like that too and don't always buy bonuses, especially if I don't have enough balance to buy even the cheapest ones.

I once only played $2-$5 manually or on auto, and once finished, I left the game, regardless of the outcome.

Sometimes there is curiosity that makes us want to buy the bonus, but we have to control that curiosity so we don't spend all the money at once.


I think that the purchase of the bonuses is an option to consider, since I understand that for now many players prefer to make the profits themselves so as not to owe the bonuses, because the bonuses can be seen as double-edged swords that can harm them. However, I am one of those who think that when there is a bonus that does not have so much complication, it should be taken so as not to produce any type of eventuality other than the normal one and that it does not interfere with our game, and the most important thing, that is always sought is that there are no problems when you want to make a withdrawal of funds, that they say that you cannot withdraw money until you meet a certain requirement.
6034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Running a casino during crypto crash on: January 06, 2023, 12:34:37 AM
They are wrong if they think it is investment money that they can use to multiply that money because it is not an investment. What's called an investment is they have to use a certain amount of money, not use it for anything, and only save it for a few years. Later after several years have passed, they will see how much the value of the investment they made a few years ago. And so far, it's bitcoin that can be a suitable investment for them. But in gambling, we have the opportunity to lose, even though we can also win, but it won't be as much as if we lose.
If the gambler only holds BTC in a gambling account without using it to gamble then it includes investment, but it is recommended that each investment is managed in a personal wallet and does not trust investments in gambling accounts even centralized exchanges, for gambling you must determine the lowest allocation of funds for gambling because gambling is not chasing profit but for entertainment in spare time, if you lose then you don't have bad impact on your BTC investment in personal wallet.
Indeed, it is an investment, but it is not a good investment because we do not know how long the casino will operate and whether the casino can maintain the accounts of each of its members. It's better to manage the investment in a personal wallet because all the assets will be in our control, and we are fully responsible for all the assets. As for gambling, we should have a special budget for gambling so it won't interfere with the allocation of funds in other places, and we can control our monthly expenses. Thus, we can enjoy every piece of money we have while we prepare for our future by investing in bitcoin.

Well actually, we know very well that for now things with private wallets is the best option, everyone learned a lot about FTX and everything that has happened with them, so since then I think many have learned not to leave their money in BTC or whatever in casinos or exchanges, I had also read that some casinos, when a client had a period of inactivity, their account was blocked, so that is something that does not seem to me, because if a person You cannot be or enter a casino, it must be for something, and it is very unpleasant that after a while you go to enter and it is blocked and possibly your funds have nothing.

6036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 05, 2023, 05:05:36 PM
So Anthony Yarde is getting pointers and advice from the legendary multiple-champion Oleksandyr Usyk. We will see if Yarde will be able to utilize it. I watched all the 3 amateur fights between Usyk and Beterbiev a long time ago where the former has a 2-1 standing. Iirc they were all close fights and Usyk was hurt several times including getting knocked down once or twice. So Usyk may not be the perfect guy to solve the Beterbiev puzzle but at least he was able to give the heavy bomber some problems with his superior movements. But can Yarde emulate the lateral movements of Usyk or is he capable of moving for a full 12-round fight? 

Yarde Says Usyk Gave Him Advice Ahead of Beterbiev Showdown

I hope that advice will help him, if I were Yarde, I would not stick completely to that advice and just have my own strategy to beat Artur Beterbiev. If Usyk is having trouble beating Artur Beterbiev, then it should not be easy for Yarde. Bettors would have a massive payout if this will turns out to be an upset win by Yarde.

I'm just saying something, if someone like Usyk gives Yarde advice, that's something very good and also privileged, as far as I'm concerned receiving advice from legends is something that is quite important, I don't know, but Beterbiev is a very good fighter. big and has a lot of technique and strategies to the maximum, that is something that can happen, according to what I have seen Beterbiev is a fighter who sometimes when he fights is seen as very violent, almost as if he lost control, so I think that for Usyk's advice can go there, of course this is something that I personally speculate about what could happen, however I know that it will give you advice much further.

I cannot believe that people still think that Ronaldo was mistreated after it happened with 4 different managers. He was benched back in Juventus, he was benched by whoever that interim manager was last year in United, he was benched by Erik Tan Hag, and he was benched by Portugal manager, that's four different managers that managed to bench him.

Do we really think that he is still not doing what he supposed to do and just accept the fact that he is a bench player for high level teams? He will be hard to call up for euro 2024 if you ask me, dude would be nearing 40 by that time, and you think he would be any good by that time? I highly doubt that.

I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.

I'm not so sure. He is a great player but younger players are coming and they will probably take up his spot soon. He is 37 now and in two years it's questionable how will he perform.
you are right that young players will replace old players, this is not Ronaldo's problem why not play maybe because his performance has decreased compared to young players, old players like Ronaldo and other old players should also be aware of that and be prepared to be replaced, as before of course ronaldo used to be a young player replacing previous players who were retired and old, so i think people need to face the reality of that even though it's bitter

Well, what we can intuit from them is the following, CR7 is a very influential person in the Portugal team, everyone talks about Bruno, but he is only for me as a skydiver, he is nobody compared to CR7, so this is the type of the players are very ungrateful to him, they forgot that thanks to CR7 they are the Euro champions, so where is the management of CR7? I think it would be great if Mou could be the technical director of Portugal, because I'm sure he would keep CR7 and possibly lead the team to be one of the best in Europe, so they don't suffer in qualifying or anything. With a technician like Moyu they wouldn't have any problems.

Mou does not want CR7 to leave, he wants to count on him for both the Euro and the next World Cup

mourinho will not coach portugal, mourinho knows that leaving roma to train in portugal is much more likely to destroy his reputation and it would not be an easy task to lead portugal to win things, and mourinho is a coach who likes to win things, when he joins a team he wants to be given all the resources so he can win things, in italy rome is very confident that mourinho will stay as coach of roma

Roma director confident Mourinho will not leave for Portugal job



"When you get a coach like Mourinho, you must be accustomed to rumours," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"This was the first time in 18 months that a club or a federation were interested in him. We had no distractions at our training camp in the Algarve, we were only focused on work.

"I am Portuguese and every time we change coach, Mourinho is mentioned, but we count on him for the future."

I believe that a soccer player when he is 35-37 years old should not retire if he considers that he still has a lot to do. what to give, because then it would be frustrating, for me what CR7 is doing is very good, I know people say that age is a number, but we cannot forget the experience he has, he is also a star

attacking players usually retire between 32 and 39 years old, that's because coaches don't care much that an attacking player over 30 years old ignores the defense and stays only in the attack as long as that player is scoring goals, the problem of ronaldo is right here, he doesn't have the same speed as before, the same dribbling as before and he doesn't score many goals anymore, just see that he can even spend many games without even scoring 1 goal, that's not a good thing for a 37-year-old striker, he no longer has the qualities to play for the big European clubs

Messi with his 36 -37 years old, he won a world cup, he did not know what banking was in the World Cup, just like Luka Modric and they led their countries to the top, in Portugal Fernando Santos failed.

Messi is 35 years old, in addition messi has a quality that ronaldo and many players do not have, messi is not just a striker like ronaldo or mbappe or haaland or benzema or lewandowski, messi manages to coordinate all the teams by occupying various positions on the field and doing this task better that the players of that position


It is very interesting, in everything you say you are right, of course now everyone focuses on what CR7 did, they believe that he has buried his career, but in part I do not see it that way, the hostile ways they treated him at Man United, I think that anyone loses the desire to be in Europe, despite the fact that he is a person who is not very affected by what they say about him, here Messi already has a victory that CR7 has not been able to achieve If CR7 arrives in Portugal at the age of 41 and is in the national team, it would be a great feat, but if he arrives, I think he will have it very clear, and it is to win the World Cup no matter what, I would like to see those players again stars in the next world cup, personally I don't like how Mbappé plays, he has a very different style from many players, I prefer the style of Messi, CR7, and with the style of Ronaldo and Zidane, I think those are the players They have given more to talk about in their time, of course we cannot leave Pelé aside.

It's a pity about Mou, I didn't know that he had made that decision, I hope that a good coach arrives in Portugal, without any kind of prejudice and leaves the players who do best, even if it means leaving out a CR7.
6038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: January 05, 2023, 03:56:32 PM
Or maybe he is just focusing on boxing to conquer his depression and other mental problems that will lead him in an unwanted situation, either way, I'm glad that he is looking sharp and back in business to face the heavy names. This maybe his first time but I know that he can do this properly because every champion was once a challenger too, so there's really a first time for everything. I just hope that there would be no problems along the way.
He started his journey too early, he received too much attention at a young age, in addition, there is a lot of tension before the fights, so not everyone is able to endure such psychological stress. But it is clear that he coped well with this, that what does not kill us makes us stronger. Whether he is ready for the battle with the Tank is a very difficult question. When I watch an interview with Garsis, I see that he believes that he is ready, and this is very important, but I see that Tank is a more experienced opponent and he is stronger at the moment.

As long as he is ready, expect a 100% performance of Garcia. He cannot make an excuse that he is dealing with a mental problem if he losses his fight, this is big for him, so as an undefeated fighter, he will certainly make sure to continue that way. Tank is definitely a tough opponent, but about the experience, I think it's not a big deal.

24 yrs old vs 28 yrs old, both are young boxers and champions, this is very unpredictable.

Well, regarding these two high-level boxers, for me it is much more influential to go in favor of García, Tank is a great boxer and some people say that Tank is far ahead of García, for me it is a fight that will be very exciting It is one of the fights that I think could make a difference, I don't know, but I think that now, since many have speculated that García is not quite at Tank's level, they say that he has to face another average before him.

From the videos I've seen, Tank has great fighting power, but I think Garcia can give him a good fight, Tank may have the favoritism, but Garcia has a great level.


And that's the true advantage right there because even though Garcia have the size advantage, Davis here is already accustomed fighting with that scenario and surely he prepared for it because he knows that there will be some times that he'll get to fight with other boxers that are much taller than him and he doesn't want that his size will be the one who will give him the disadvantage despite the KO power he had.

The reach difference isn't small, and I think that is what Ryan Garcia is working out.  Making use of all his advantages.  If executed properly, I think Gervonta Davis may have difficulty moving around and closing into Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia should be careful and I expect the best from him because he had to cancel his fight with Mercito Gesta just train and prepare straightly for his fight with Tank Davis. And yes, I also think that this bout won't be needing a full 12 rounds.

This skipped fight with Ryan Garcia may take a toll on him.  The fight against Gesta is a good way to test his training, there is a possibility of signs of ring rust too because of too much idleness before Ryan's fight against Gervonta.  I think Ryan is getting too confident that can possibly work against him.

I agree, if Ryan will take that advantage of is, being long and used his jab even further in this fight, stiff and strong jab that will let Davis very uncomfortable and can't execute his game play then Ryan might have a chance to win.

And then probably Davis will adjust too maybe in the middle of the fight, maybe put more pressure on Ryan and push him to make that one mistake and then he deliver his knock out, just like what he did against Romero. Very cautious but then when Rolly goes after him, Davis saw that opportunity. So there could be rounds of adjustment for both fighter, and it could be a chess match in the beginning.

However if Tank begins to pressure Ryan, it might also give Ryan some opportunities for a step back before left hook. How is Tank Davis' jaw because it might be also be his test. There are already many people who speculate that Ryan has a glass jaw, but how is Tank's jaw?

According to this article Ryan wants Tank to knock out Hector Garcia out cold hehe. Is Ryan pressuring Tank?



“I want Tank to knock [Hector Luis Garcia] out cold. It will make out fight even bigger,” said Ryan Garcia via ESPN

Probably, Ryan Garcia was just messing Tank Davis in his head to finish the fight much earlier than anybody is expecting it to be. This young blood should just focus in his preparation for their upcoming fight because I bet he will be having some mental issues again if he will get embarrassed in this fight, too playing won't help him in his goal because Tank Davis is a critical thinker, he can't fathom it because Ryan Garcia is yet to come in that state.
Talking about their jaw, Ryan was already revealed that his jaw can be crack easily, while Davis's jaw is still unknown but I reckon is much sturdier than the Ryan.

Well, each boxer has his weak point, but here, honestly, it would seem to me a very last resort move to go for his weak point, because they are saying it for a reason, easy if they win by attacking the weak point, the losing boxer can claim that he he won by attacking his vulnerability and that he focused there, in the case of any boxer I would not attack him there just to avoid that, partly they are details that are sometimes not so relevant, but for a fight like this, where there have been so many discussions and things are said between them, I don't see it as appropriate, apparently both boxers have the same weak point.

And each one says things to himself in his own way:

Hector Garcia says he’ll beat Tank Davis by being “smarter fighter”



Quote
Hector states that he wasn’t worried last week when he heard the news about Gervonta being arrested. Since it was something he had no control over, Garcia didn’t feel any concern about the fight possibly being canceled. He felt that even if the contest was called off, he would have found another opponent to fight

“I feel really good, and positive in the mindset and ready to give the fans what they want on Saturday night,” said Hector Luis Garcia to Fight Hub TV about how he feels physically ahead of his contest against Gervonta ‘Tank Davis.

“I’m going to be the smarter fighter, and I’m going to go out with my hand raised through the biggest door possible,” said Hector when asked why he thinks he’s going to beat Tank Davis on Saturday night.

Maybe the Korean boxing commission was really ashamed on what they see on the Japanese fighter and that's why a swift investigation and reversal of the decision. And Akaho admitted that it he was not really hit behind his head so that admission is enough for them to overturn.

I doubt that Casimero will get Inoue, it seems though that Bob Arum is pushing for Naoya to get an immediate title shot against Fulton.

Although it might hurt those in line, but Top Rank is powerful promotion and could do that to the boxing organizations to request that fight immediately. And it's a good match as well, fans are going to be happy if this fight is going to be made once Inoue moves up.

I do love to see Casimero vs Inoue, actually, I am so annoyed of some Filipino boxing fans think that Inoue is docking Casimero.  I am quite embarrassed actually because Inoue had proven himself but Casimero shamed himself when he lost his belt on a spa.  Grin

Yes, we do love to see that fight in the future, Casimero has been trash talking Inoue when they both have the belts at 118 lbs and probably could have face each other.

But chances are, they could still fight if each other really wanted to push, but this time it will be in the super bantamweight division. I don't think either will be at a disadvantage, both can still carry their power, so it's going to be very exciting and definitely, not going to last the full 12 rounds as both are knockout artist. John Riel will have to work his way to the rankings at super bantam, probably 2 fights more to bring himself in a title contention.
 


That's correct, but it should not be "f each other really wanted to push" because we know for the fact that Casimero will always be willing to fight Inoue, the only problem is Inoue seemed to be avoiding him which is uncharacteristic of a dominant champion. It's necessary that the fans will push this and want it badly to happen so promoter will give us this fight, for now, that's the only way I see to  at least increase the chance of this anticipated fight happening.

Now that you say it, it also gave me that impression, I think that Inpoue does not want to have contact with Casimero, it seems to me that this is something that could be very strange, will Inoue see something in Casimero that he wants to avoid? He is an undisputed champion, I don't think it's because of some panic, because a boxer of his level is impossible, what I think is that Inoue wants to continue moving up in category, I think he can give boxing a lot of good things, in fact when A boxer goes up in category by weight because he gains much more fame, and I think it's hard to be able to do something again with respect to the new weight, for me they are much more valued.

Yet the governing bodies and committees are turning to a blind eye because even them have also participated these stunts as they are also getting some benefits about these things.

That was a big allegation from you, mate. I doubt that was always the case.

Boxing associations especially the 4 four recognized as major boxing bodies won't just do some sh*t.

Maybe there are controversial results but that is something we can't directly accuse the boxing association are joining that kind of crap.

We must understand something, the boxing associations, of all the federations that exist in the world must understand that there is an associated business model, in the boxing industry there is a lot of money that is handled, there is no other explanation, we must always take Keep in mind that for any movement there will always be many very large sources of money, one could even talk about mafias that we ourselves have no idea about, so if an association is attacked in this way, it will not only go badly for the person or persons, because It's like an ant fighting an elephant, it shouldn't be done, I think that's something they should be clear about.

Hamburger SV is fighting for the top spot in the table. And their performance this season is quite good. They are now second in the points table. But I think they should change their game plan. Although they have performed well, they have lost 5 matches this season. Tim Walter should change his match strategy. Their squad is now quite strong. If they can perform somewhat consistently they can go to the top of the table. But Darmstadt and Heidenheim are playing very well. Basically these three teams will continue to fight for the top spot in the table.

The main thing is to return to Bundesliga, I don’t think that they set their main goal, to win Bundesliga 2. Ganover and Kaiserslautern will also retain the chances, the lag of 5 points is not so critically, this is only half the season, the whole struggle is still ahead. But I think that Hamburg has very good chances to return to Bundesliga next season, in the near future they will have two friendly matches with Cologne and Freiburg, they are trying to agree on matches with the Bundesliga teams.

Yes, in fact this is aglo that cannot be denied, HSV is one of the best teams in the Second Bundesliga, if they continue as they are going, they can go up, and in part I think they deserve it, it is a team that can do it well and they need to measure themselves against the best, now the team that is really that I have always liked since last season with St Pauli, so many emcoines that made us hit, not now, now I don't know what happened to them, but I think that to pear Of the HSV problems after what happened with the drugs, this has greatly harmed the team, and it affects everyone in part, from the coaching staff to each of their players.

Hamburger SV has already lost a few games and reached 4th place at the end.

Hamburger SV started the new season with the same coach from last season for the first time. When they failed to achieve the goal of promotion the years before they also sacked the coach. The club seems to have finally understood how important it is to have a constant.

I am going to be honest, in my opinion the latitude of a team like HSV is something that I do not like to see from a team, whoever it comes from, if they have problems at the management level, if they have problems with the players, that is something they should they take forecasts and have them all arranged to be able to do things well when they play, I know that they had problems with a player due to the drug they found in his body, so I think that this may also be a precedent, but the truth is that all this is Quite disappointing, a team shouldn't be let down, they have to get ahead, HSV have a lot of fans, anyway the 2nd Bundesliga always gets like this. The fact of losing first place is somewhat disappointing for me, because they have a very good run, they had a very good run.
