I don't think Spain is doing very well. They are performing average quality. Italy's squad is much more experienced than Spain's and they are almost irresistible. Spain's win against Switzerland was almost uncertain. In the match between Italy and Spain, I will definitely put Italy ahead.
I don't know how possible it is that a team that's not doing well are in the semis of the tournament, just making it this far is an achievement in itself and Spain deserve all the credit they can get, they have been playing good attacking football in my opinion and I believe their attack can cause Italy problems.

Italy may be favorites for some, but I'd not say it's game over even before the match starts, Spain are a word class team, and when two teams of this quality meet, at this crucial stage of the tournament, then there are no favorites if you ask me, as a neutral, I'll be looking forward to watching a brilliant game.
I'm also basically neutral but somehow after seeing the Spanish and Italian games at the start, I feel that Italy is better now. But that doesn't mean Spain is bad either, I feel Spain in this tournament has a lot of surprises which maybe it will also because Enrique has a lot of tactics and strategy so yes, Spain so far is still difficult to predict. So it's no wonder some of them and including myself are the favorites for Italy but still, I still feel Spain might be able to qualify for the final because I think Enrique can do well too.

There are two technical camps in boxing, one thinks that strengthening of the neck is better for absorbing blows to the head, and the other is that a relaxing of the head could be a better option for that. It's hard to tell and will probably be something that will be from person to person.

As far as I know some psychostimulants such as pervintine (later called methamphetamine) were used by soldiers in many armies because they are able to keep a person in a state of heightened activity. I read somewhere that under the influence of methamphetamine a person does not lose consciousness even if he receives a very strong blow to the head. It is quite possible that the organism of some people is able to produce similar substances on its own.

No wonder VADA is required for boxers because drug substances like meth can make their body immune to hard hits. I've read those stories in Hitler's time where the meth is used by his soldiers to keep up. The history of meth dates back to the scientist of Hitler who created all kinds of experiments on the human body.

I'm not convinced that relaxing to be an option, it's just going to strengthen the injury. With the slap like that famous fat guy of slapping tournament, your head could turn 360 if you relax.




Indeed, strengthening the jaw and neck will likely make them able to withstand a hard slap and is not a good reason for you to relax to receive a slap, it will just bounce you off easily. Strengthening yourself with drugs I don't think is the right way, because if you use it every day then of course it will have a bad impact on your health from time to time, diligent exercise and discipline are the best ways for an athlete.

I thought Uruguay had the ability to qualify for the semi-finals but what happened was Cavani and Suarez wasted a lot of chances. Until finally the match was decided on penalties and I was only surprised by the performance from Ospina but otherwise, even though Cavani and Suarez could have scored goals in the shootout I was still disappointed with his game during normal time. However, both teams have equally great goalkeepers and that is also what makes it difficult for both teams to score goals in normal time.

The rest of this match will be held at Wembley and of course it will be very good for England who will play against Denmark, I personally feel if the match is not at Wembley maybe Denmark will win. But yes, because England will be playing at home then of course England have a better chance of winning the match and qualifying for the final it looks like it will be against Italy.

Schick scored to keep the hope for Czech but he got injured and was out. He and Ronaldo now have a same goals in Euro 2020, with 5 goals. It is hard for other players to catch them with only 2 or 3 matches left.

Some players from Spain, Italy have 2 more matches and England players will have 3 more matches in maximum.
There's still Kasper Dolberg (Denmark) and Raheem Sterling (England), both have 3 goals and I think they can still score 2 or 3 more especially for Sterling. England will play Ukraine and it could be a good opportunity for Sterling to score a lot of goals, if Sterling can be given more confidence as a target or at least give him a chance to finish then I'm sure Sterling will do well.

BTW what do you think about Argentina vs Ecuador match? Only 13 hours left to start the game.

I don't think anything but the victory of Argentina. Moreover, Ecuador is not a strong team. Ecuador could not win any match in the Group stage. Moreover, Ecuador has lost 4 of the last 5 matches head-to-head against Argentina. In the last 5 matches, Ecuador has conceded 12 goals from Argentina. I hope Argentina will win today by 2-0
Yes, even though Ecuador only lost once in the group stage but that still doesn't guarantee Ecuador can make it difficult for Argentina. I just believe Argentina and Brazil will continue to win in this tournament. So whoever they face I'm just sure that Argentina and Brazil will win and it doesn't matter how many goals they score because even in the group stage I saw they didn't seem to have the target to win big but the important thing is that they can win even if it's only 1- 0.

The main thing is not to make a high deposit or you can just use the money you are ready to lose for the first deposit, because only then will you at least be okay even if in the end the site proves to be a scam. You can use this method if you are lazy to read the terms and conditions applied, at least that's the way I often did in the past but for now I will avoid new casino sites. But indeed, whatever the reason, at least reading the terms and conditions first is something you should prioritize.
9488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: July 03, 2021, 01:17:57 PM
It's always a lack of control, if you have a control to yourself you wouldn't be able to lose so much in gambling since you would be able to control yourself to stop playing well if someone managed to master this kind of behavior or skill the user would be able to control his losses and won't spend too much and end up losing all their money.

It's not hard to control yourself in gambling, I believe, majority of gamblers are responsible, yes, they maybe lose some money but they are enjoying. If getting out of control is a major problem, then we should not be seeing gambling operators still up now, that's the logic.

Self-control when playing gambling is very important because we will play a game that has an unexpected ending, therefore we must be prepared for whatever results will come, although some people think self-control is an easy thing but that is not the case for gamblers who playing in online and offline casinos, many gamblers even continue to play when he wins and think if he plays longer he will get bigger wins, even though we know in gambling everything can happen suddenly and it is not impossible if the first one wins but in the end will lose, therefore self-control is quite important in gambling and we must know when we have to stop gambling,  in other words, it means when we win, we should be able to keep the excitement at a natural level and when we lose, we should be able to control our emotions, because emotions can cloud our minds, and once emotions do, it will affect our own judgment and meaning , both in happiness and sadness, if we don't have good self-control, we can certainly make decisions that we will eventually regret.
Self-control still won't be easy, if you say self-control is easy but in reality it's only for a few percent of them and usually they are disciplined gamblers. I never feel self control is easy even after you play for a long time, when you enjoy gambling then that's when you are only controlled by your own addiction. If it's like that, of course self-control can no longer be prioritized because you will only continue to seek pleasure in gambling that is difficult to control.

If we are to give a player the attribute of been a "good player" it have to be someone who's will do so well in every aspect on the pitch of play. A player who's not good in penalty can't be called a good player.


Hahaha. mate, I can't accept your logic. Can you show me a player who didn't miss a penalty? Everyone missed the penalty. Messi, Ronaldo, and Pele every legendary player missed penalties. Now wouldn’t you call them good players? So there is no good player in the world?
Yes it's funny but the point is, nothing is ever so perfect in this world. Even though they are named the best players, the fact is that there will always be flaws in them so they are not completely perfect. Therefore, it is still very possible to fail and I think it has become a common thing in sports and also, the best players will not be able to continue to be winners because there will always be failures that will accompany it.

I think the Italians will win the final! They are objectively stronger than the other teams... The English can't win them for sure!

It will be interesting to see how Ukraine plays against England today...
I don't doubt about Denmark! Wink
Since the beginning before the tournament even started I even considered Italy will reach the final, and so far Italy is still very convincing and only against Austria have I disappointed.

Regarding Czech vs Denmark, I personally still believe that both teams have the same chance of winning, but since the Czechs had previously beaten the Netherlands, I think maybe the Czechs can maintain that and continue to play aggressively against Denmark. I think it will be an exciting match maybe it will also have the same atmosphere as when Denmark beat Russia.

If Real Madrid focus on young players now, their title next season is completely uncertain. Because, the new coaches will have them, as well as young inexperienced players in the squad, so it will not be easy to win against strong teams. Looking forward to seeing the strategy of Real's new coach.

You are right. Since their coaches are new, they need experienced players. They can take on young players if they have a long-term plan. Then they have to sacrifice next season's title. And gradually the team needs to build more and more strong.
Basically Carlo Ancelotti is not completely new at Real Madrid, Ancelotti in the past has given Real Madrid the UCL and Copa del Rey titles. So I think Ancelotti's return to Madrid is no stranger and that way, at least Ancelotti can correct his past mistakes too. Let's see what changes will occur and I hope Ancelotti can start well like in the past.
9492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 02, 2021, 03:44:22 PM
you’ll are forgetting one very important point, that Bayern steals their local competitors player’s season after season and thus they make their competitors weaker. Furthermore no where in other leagues do local clubs sell to their biggest competitor (year after year), and till the clubs in Bundesliga continue to do business with them there’s no way they’ll be able to end Bayern dominance over winning the title.

They not only doing this in the German League the last years , they also doing it international also with other big teams.
But there are now a few teams they have also good and nice players in there team and this are the teams that have the chance to beat them.
And it will come at some stage that they geat beaten by a other team for the Champion.
But I agree with that statement, in other big leagues it is very rare for a team to let their best player go to their toughest competitor. In the Bundesliga, the best team is Bayern Munich and of course Dortmund is the toughest competitor, the concern is about the best player born in Dortmund but in the end the player was brought to Bayern Munich. This case has happened a lot in both teams and I think it's a shame, where players are improving their performance and then moving to rival teams and even, some of them return to their previous team (Dortmund) because or after their performance has decreased. Therefore, it is possible that Bayern Munich will bring Haaland in the next transfer market. Shocked

Switzerland vs Spain and Belgium vs Italy for tonight.

These will be a very interesting matches to watch. I predict that Spain and Belgium will advance to the next round. They have a better squad, the starting eleven and the bench. Goal feast might happen in both matches.
I personally don't believe in this quarter-final there will be many goals, when they compete at the group stage some teams play boringly with few goals scored. Like Switzerland in the group stage lost 3-0 by Italy and so is Spain, only drawing in the first two games makes me doubt it. But in the last match of the group stage and round of 16, these two teams made a surprise with many goals made. Therefore, I think in the quarter-finals there may be changes that make the game more careful and defensive, who knows.

I thought the same about the Last 16 too if we are being honest,,, and yet we got so surprised and saw an amazing number of goals even in regular time (not counting extra time) I believe the average was above 2.5 which is impossible to get even in normal leagues.

Rewards for offensive I hope but they will look at Spain and France and realize 2 goals cushion is NOT enough.
Indeed, it would be better to keep scoring more goals because of course that would make it safer when keeping the lead. But unfortunately, when a team can score a lot of goals, at the same time it is also very possible that the team does not have a solid defense. Therefore, playing with a counter-attack strategy would be a good option but somehow, I'm sure in this quarter-final match they will play more cautiously.
9494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting to Risk Free Fights on: July 02, 2021, 10:14:21 AM
Nope no fight is risk free.  I witnessed the most risk free fight possibly ever.  Tyson vs buster Douglass.  No way was buster even going to last the first round against Mike.  Think he was a 40-1 chump.  Buster wrecked him and most betters along the way.  No gamble or bet is risk free unless you have the known outcome already (cheating).

There are risk-free fights but it's just something you analyze yourself. Many will disagree and some will agree but this is because it's how they see the match and the fighters.

Take for instance the Poirer vs McGregor this July 11. We know Poirer is just as good as Mcgregor, these are top-notch martial artists and a bettor might not foresee which will win until it ends. This fight is a high-risk fight.


That's right and besides, when they say it is a risk free bet then at least they will only get small odds and thus, a risk free bet can also be said to be a bet with no profit or only a small profit. But regarding the Poirer vs McGregor match, I think Poirer will be the favorite even though both of them fill the top ranks but with Poirer's position being better, then I'm pretty sure the match will be won by Poirer. Well, this match is an example, although I predict Poirer will win but still, I can't say it's a risk free bet because both of them still have a chance to win. It's different if the match is very unbalanced by giving odds like 1.xx vs 10 or higher, then with the difference in odds we can at least say whether it will be a risk-free bet or not.
9495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: July 02, 2021, 08:09:02 AM
I agree, crypto gambling is still merely a tiny portion of the global online gambling industry. And, of course, in terms of gambling, it is quite possible that the people who are spending time on crypto gambling are primarily a subset of the people who are spending time on crypto generally. But this is also only speculation on my part.
Somehow yes, the growth of gambling during the global lockdown is primarily seen in online fiat casinos instead of crypto casinos.

But looking as a whole we can't deny the fact that crypto is one of the top-performing markets wherein stock markets are on the floor during the pandemic. We can fairly say that crypto-gambling also contributes to that growth although we don't have any source of an accurate data on how's the growth of crypto-gambling during the time people are lurking mostly at their homes because of the lockdown.

I also don't have data that can show the percentage increase in crypto gambling in a pandemic situation like now. But based on my logic,
crypto gambling should be getting more popular, because many lockdowns occur everywhere that require people to carry out activities online.
Moreover, crypto's performance is far more promising than the stock market since the pandemic occurred. This certainly has an impact
on gamblers who used to play at fiat casinos to become interested in playing in crypto gambling.
If it's about fiat online gambling I don't think it's just popular during the lockdown because even before the pandemic I personally often found a lot out there talking about online gambling. So, online gambling has basically increased before the pandemic but with the lockdown then of course, the popularity of online gambling continues to increase and includes crypto gambling as well.

Monopoly is a cool match up for me since it has a full component of pvp But it's highly skilled and requires lots of mortgage skills and knowledge to win up this isn't just a game of luck in here it takes your skill and a little knowledge about housing management to win
Actually you are right. If we could develop Monopoly a bit and create a game where also other players have something to do during a turn of player 1, it would have a very good opportunity, because everyone know about monopoly and also it is known and famous for its mixture of luck and skilll.
After all, all gambling games will definitely require skill and luck, these factors are the most important factors in any game in gambling. But indeed, there are slot games that seem to be purely about luck but I believe, there are still many out there who don't understand the game of slots and as such, skill will still be involved even if it is a slot game. So yes, the alternative to poker can basically be any type of gambling game, because it depends on how we respond to the game itself because with the many choices of gambling games available at the casino, of course it will be an alternative which makes it easier for us to choose and play it.

I think Argentina and Brazil will have a final. Because both teams are in great form now. Brazil lost points in the last match, not only Neymar was in the squad. If Neymar was in the squad, they would have won the last match too. Brazil's next opponent is Chile. The Chile team is bad. Against them, Brazil must play carefully.

At the rate they're playing, it definitely looks like Brazil but despite my favorite guy playing in Argentina, I don't know if they have the consistency. Peru is playing as usual without any pressure so they can make it to another final. But COPA is COPA and we all know the rules that apply here are: random and anything can happen!
Brazil and Argentina have always been the favorites in this tournament and at this moment too, I think both teams seem to have their luck because the opponents they face are not in as good condition as the Copa America titles in previous years. Just look at other teams like Uruguay, Chile even though they can advance to the quarter-finals but in fact, their game in the group stage does not seem to have high enthusiasm or maybe because the pandemic period is very influential in a deserted field without spectators.
9499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terms and condition a must read before signing up any online gambling site on: July 01, 2021, 02:41:46 PM
For those who gamble in large amounts and are really looking for profit in gambling, then of course reading all the terms and conditions is a priority before making a deposit. But for mediocre players who are just looking for fun and making deposits with money ready to lose, I think reading those things can be put aside first and this is what I usually did in the past and it's proven, I've never had problems with withdrawals. Although sometimes I get problems like account frozen etc, in the end the problem can still be solved as long as we are on the right track and maybe it depends on the service they have too, so be careful.

Also I feel Juventus will have a good chance of winning the league because Allergi is back, and Roma maybe a surprise package because of Jose Mourinho what do you’ll think?.
As I said before about Roma with Mourinho, because Mourinho himself at the end of his coaching couldn't give his best achievements like in the past. So, personally I am still very doubtful for Roma but to keep competing in the top 5 it feels very possible, but not for the title.
