It turns out that bookmakers are extremely unsure about the result of the men's final, since the margin is unusually large (usually it is in the region of 4-6% and closer to 4% for major events). Even the women's finals (where the games are always more random) have regular quotes.
I am sort of cynical so I have a very simple explanation for that difference. Couple of percent on men's final is much more money in your pocket than couple of percent on women's final. Therefore you build your good odds reputation on smaller games and then earn your paychecks on big ones.  

Watching Mektic/Pavic now and they are holding admirably well due to circumstances but that backhand is missing in Pavic arsenal and it could prove enough of advantage for opposition.

I think that this is not the case at all (earnings on an additional couple of percent of the margin). I remember that for the Champions League final the margin was only 4 percent even though this event is much bigger than Wimbledon. Most likely, bookmakers see an abnormal number of bets against Djokovic, but due to his instability, they cannot correct the odds properly, therefore, for reliability, they increase the margin.
By the way, Mektic and Pavić, having won the second set, regained the status of favorites and are now leading in the third set. The odds are 1.32 - 3,50 in their favor.

Ronaldo not attending training under the pretense of settling family matters is an old trick - he used it before when he left Juventus. But I think this is normal, given the fact that he does not link his future with United, it is much more correct than, for example, the behavior of Lewandowski.
Today on Twitter I saw a cut of episodes (from Juventus) where Ronaldo acted as an assistant and partners ruined great moments - what a pain!  Cry Now I want him even more to get into a decent club where he could prove himself being surrounded by the same qualified masters.

If Ronaldo has already decided that he is going to move from Manchester United and is looking to play for other clubs, I believe he is looking for a team that is going to play in the Champions League. Otherwise moving out from Manchester United is not going to make any sense. If he is going to Chelsea, it is going to be a very good transfer for him. Chelsea also needs a really good Striker because they did not score as much as they should have in the last season. And Chelsea will also be able to play well in the Champions League and the performance of Chelsea is also going to upgrade because of Cristiano Ronaldo if this deal actually ends up happening.


Thanks

Duke

I heard that United delayed the release of the video intended to introduce the team for next season because Ronaldo is there and now this video is being edited. If this is true, then the issue of Ronaldo's departure has already been resolved at all levels and all parties understand that this will happen. Chelsea is a good option for Ronaldo, but I will hope that Ronaldo moves to Bayern, it will be more respectful towards United and the fans.

I disagree and will probably have different assumptions. The combination of star players like Messi, Mbappe and Ronaldo is actually very much expected in football especially if they are on the same team. This combination will make the attack much better because the three players have skills above the average of other players, so they will never damage teamwork even though all three have individual targets.

We've seen the MSN combination in Barcelona, ​​and we've also seen the MMN combination at PSG and both combinations have presented good attacking power even though things are still not going well. We can still hope for the MMR combination right? But I don't think it will come true.

Rumors about the transfer of Ronaldo to PSG will remain rumors, even the last time they appeared, it became clear that at least Messi would be against this transition. I heard another version - maybe Lewandoski will go to PSG. Neymar, Mbappe + Lewandowski - this trio will be truly awesome. But, as a fan against bags (City and PSG), I'm going to hope that if this happens, this trio will be as unlucky as MSN.

Noticed a funny thing:

Rybakina, Elena 2.27

Jabeur, Ons 1.64

The bookmaker's margin is exactly 5%.

Djokovic, Novak 1.21

Kyrgios, Nick 3.8

Bookmaker margin 9%!  Shocked

If I were the casino manager, I will fire that employee right away. I do not need to here his reasoning any further. Casinos do not need emotional workers. And employees in the first place should know their place and be professional at all times.
You will be the unprofessional manager if you fire your employee without hearing his reason behind his action. Belittling someone who has a lower position to you will make you get fired in the long run. Also, knowing that the employee is asking his relative to leave is a conflict of interest and not a random emotional action that he may try to other gamblers.

I agree. Such a situation (if all this is true) is in fact an emergency (not at all a routine that every employee will face every day) and it is stupid to fire an employee in every emergency (if in all other cases he worked well). There is a certain conflict of interest here, but it can be resolved without such radical decisions. At the very least, the manager must first try simpler methods of handling the situation.

И еще удивлен волевому решению сделать вывод средств  Grin Во-первых, я к этому отношусь как к "изи кам изи гоу", а во-вторых деньги маленькие поэтому хочется либо слить либо довести до суммы которую хоть как-то можно почувстовать  Cheesy Поэтому пока держу в казиношке, размышляю стоит ли играть дальше.

As I understand it, the most effective and easiest way to correct errors from the fact that your documents leaked to the network is to make a new passport (for example, under the pretext of losing the old one). Usually it costs a small fine and some bureaucratic problems, but you will have new documents and the old ones are guaranteed to lose their validity. It is a pity that this method cannot be used regularly (for example, once a year), this will cause huge questions and suspicions, as it seems to me.
It will, you might be questioned in the 3rd time unless you have the right reason with documentation about the loss. They are extending the expiration of every document for the purpose of security and other people just don't want to do it annually, they are too busy.  Roll Eyes

I don't like KYC, I actually hate it. Filling up important information is not my forte, it feels like giving away your autobiography. Although it might help to prove the age of each gambler, it is still not a good thing. If we want kids to prevent access in gambling sites we could always just block it in their accounts.

By the way, a good way out (if you have a lot of registrations here and there) is to make a KYC for a passport for trips abroad. In my country, such passports can be made with a validity period of 3 or 10 years. it turns out that it is absolutely legal to change the main document for the KYC once every three years. If the regulation is really tough, then I will have to act in this way.

Immediately after the appointment, Galtier said in an interview that he was interested in Neymar and considered him one of the strongest players, so these are not rumors. I think that's the consensus view of the current state of affairs: PSG can't get rid of Neymar so they have to work with him (after all, he's not bad enough to just put him on the bench). But if PSG finds an option for Neymar to leave the club, I think the management will do it and Galtier's opinion will not play any role.
Neymar is surely under radar for performing better or PSG management will waste no more time for giving him departure orders because they already lost their patience with his injuries and his attitude which already create few problems for other players as well and just because of few players Zidane rejected this job because he is not happy with PSG management about their special treatment with few players which is having bad impact on overall team.

Discipline is key for success, and we know all big clubs never allow any bad thing from player and if someone done surely he has to pay for this like we have recently Auba in Arsenal, PSG surely need some better environment if they want better results from team.

Zidane refused not only for this reason, but even this reason alone is already weighty in order to bypass PSG, especially given the status of Zidane, who risks a lot in case of failure.
By the way, I know that there is such a management strategy - when a club needs restructuring, they hire an ordinary average coach without a special name and achievements, for just one task - to disperse snickering or just old players. First they do this dirty work with someone else's hands and then they hire the right top coach. I wonder if Galtier will be used in this sense.

Chelsea is the one who have strong rumor linking with Ronaldo but honestly I still have my doubts that he will move over to another title rival of United. Yes, Ronaldo has no options but given his history with United I still have my doubts and which is why I think it is a way Ronaldo is pushing United to make some good transfers in the transfer window. Once they get a good player then I think they will be able to convince Ronaldo to stay at United.

So far, United haven't made any high-profile transfers, even De Jong's deal is still pending. Even if you are a big optimist and assume that everything is as you think, what options do United have now? It seems that by the start of the season, in the best of circumstances, they will start the season with about the same team as they were last season, not stronger (but actually weaker, at least in names).
7772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 08, 2022, 05:28:22 PM
was it too obvious even to bookies that Djokovic will start playing after losing first set
took him @1.3, expected more steam from Norrie, so did not hedged complete outright, but he basically did not had any break chances after first set finished

not sure about final dough, Kyrgios should not break down after losing one set, as Sinner and Norrie

After the game is over it is natural that everything is obvious. If there would be a directly opposite result, then everything would be no less obvious, because the result is a consequence of the process that we see. I recently won a bet on Djokovic at odds of 1.8, but I understand that it was a risky bet and I could well lose, but this bet was close to 2, so I consider such bets as adequate. The chance of 1.3 is unacceptably low in my opinion.

Bayern not getting Ronaldo is not a shocker, that was always known. Why get rid of Lewandowski, and then get Ronaldo instead? Dude is like 37-38 years old, wouldn't have made sense. I still can't believe that they lost Haaland though, they should have gotten him. Bayern could have paid so much more than what City pays, because they haven't spend too much money so far.

City keeps on spending a ton of money, Bayern keeps on saving a lot of money by spending less, and earning so much. In any case, they need someone younger, someone in the range of 24-29, if they could get someone at around that age, that would be great and it would make sense.

Firstly, Lewandowski is not lost yet, and secondly, he started this whole epic - in Bavaria, they initially wanted him to finalize the contract to the end. As for Haaland, it's a tricky question - on the one hand, the City paid comical amounts of money for him (75 million or even less), but on the other hand, they paid him a huge signing bonus plus he'll be getting a huge salary. Bavaria is not yet ready for such expenses, although it is time for them to understand that the market has changed and it will not be cheaper.

The latest information I have seen regarding Pogba is that he should undergo a medical examination this week, if everything goes well, then Juventus will announce the signing of the player. I wonder how Pogba himself evaluates his transfer to Juventus, how smart it is now, because it is not clear what will happen to Juventus in the new season, many players have left the club.

Juventus are the clear favorites for next season. Pogba has already played there and for him it is a return to the club where he won a lot of trophies (unlike United). In my opinion, this is the best solution for him, this is not a new challenge and not step on new level, but a guaranteed success (as far as there can be any guarantees in sports).
7775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 08, 2022, 03:06:23 PM
Judging by the latest news, United have agreed to let Ronaldo go and the transfer fee will be symbolic - in the region of 15 million. Now it is only unknown which club he will go to, it seems Chelsea to be a favorite. This is a good option, but in my opinion Bavaria would be a much more interesting option in every sense.

Ronaldo's desire to play in the Champions is all that's matters to him now. I currently doubt talks about Ronaldo having personal and family issues which I consider not true.
Good players have come and gone Ronaldo won't be first, Eric Cantona was one of Manchester United biggest players when they lost him to Ban.
So Manchester United fans should wish him Good luck ( Not for him to play in the premier league, NOT CHELSEA!!  ) and expect a season without Ronaldo+ Eric Ten Hag union.

Ronaldo not attending training under the pretense of settling family matters is an old trick - he used it before when he left Juventus. But I think this is normal, given the fact that he does not link his future with United, it is much more correct than, for example, the behavior of Lewandowski.

I read a funny thing on the news: Barcelona are already ready to sell De Jong, but they cannot do it right now because they have a debt to the player (16 million in salary and 4 in bonuses)  Grin Is it just me or is every news from this club getting more and more clownish? Now I understand how Barcelona got into such a difficult financial situation  Grin

Barcelona needs to take a huge loan to pay all of their debts,this is really getting insane for one of the best clubs in football history. They need to pay all debts with their spotify deal and get a loan from a bank. They need to sell most of the players and i think they wont be able to get out of this debt anytime soon

It seems that the sale of television rights gives Barcelona the necessary money to quickly improve the financial situation, however, I do not know what the status of this deal is and what the payment schedule for this contract is. Judging by such ridiculous news, Barcelona had a cash gap - even if their total debts do not exceed their assets, but the cash flows are such that Barcelona has no liquidity.

The game score is 2-5 and most likely Djokovic loses the first set. The odds are pretty ridiculous though:

Djokovic, Novak 1,3

Norrie, Cameron 3,65

It seems to me that Cameron is very much underestimated because of the big name of the opponent, and if you bet, it's better to bet on Cameron.



 Grin Djokovic lost the first set but now the odds are even more ridiculous:

Djokovic, Novak 1,2

Norrie, Cameron 4,9
7778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Recent Experience at a Land-Based Casino on: July 07, 2022, 09:21:19 PM
I recently visited a land-based casino after a long time to gamble, have some drinks and enjoy live music with a couple of my good buddies. Not long after we settled in, we heard one of the casino workers yelling at one of the gamblers. He said, "Sir please you have to leave now. You come here every day and you keep losing. Please be considerate of your wife and your newborn babies." The backstory is that this particular man is a very popular gambler at the casino not because of his winnings but because he keeps losing. Despite his losses, he would return to the casino the next day to gamble. From the story, his wife had just been delivered with twins. I would later find out that the casino worker is his nephew.

If you were the casino manager would you fire the casino worker for interfering with your business or would you ban the gambler from visiting the casino?

I wouldn't do either because it's probably too drastic at this stage, but I would pay attention to this worker. Since the presence of family ties is a risk factor - today he wants to help a relative with advice, and tomorrow he may try to adjust the jackpot or something like that.
In general, in fact, this story sounds like a fiction, although in life there are more absurd situations.

I just saw the status "Walkover"  on the semi final match between Nadal and Kyrgios.



This is a big shock for me and Nadal fans all over the world. Instead of losing to Kyrgios by playing in a bad health situation, he preferred to fortified the match and walk out of the tournament with dignity.

This is sad news, now we will not see the epic final Djokovic - Nadal. Also, I'm sure this is a huge disappointment for many bettors who have bet that Nadal will win the tournament (I've seen bookmakers add good bonuses to those who made such bets).
Is anyone going to bet on these ridiculous odds?:

Djokovic, Novak 1.05

Norrie, Cameron 7.60

If this environment accompanies a person from the very beginning of his life, then of course it will have a decisive effect on his behavior. But if this environment appeared when a person is already an adult, then in my opinion this influence will be much less, since an adequate adult person will rely more on his own opinion than on the behavior of others.
