1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: Today at 10:55:07 AM
This Osimhen wants to play in the Champions League next season and of course, the Premier League teams will meet his requirements. Osimhen believes that this is an important stepping stone for him to develop his career and affirm his class. But high transfer fees are a big barrier for teams. Osimhen's transfer price was valued by Napoli at 100 million euros, a not small number. So the possibility of him staying at Napoli is quite high. Antonio Conte can take advantage of this opportunity, keep him here, I believe he will be the nucleus to help the team revive shortly.

Currently 100 million is the normal price for players who have potential and are young, we know some records have been set recently regarding transfer fees especially since the Saudi Pro League has done it in these 2 seasons and impact on player prices in the transfer window. I have said before that I want to see Osimhen play in the Premier League and want to see him compete with other top players and Chelsea is the team that is able to bring him in, it's just that the agreement has not been reached even though we know Napoli also want Lukaku.

Napoli can buy Romelu Lukaku and sell Osimhen to Chelsea. Osimhen is an important player and can contribute a lot to Chelsea. Moreover, Chelsea, which has rented Lukaku for a few years, can use him in the transfer and reduce the cost. They can easily convince Napoli with Lukaku and some money on top of that. Osimhen will be the most anticipated transfer of this summer transfer window.
I'm worried that if Napoli buys Lukaku, it won't match Napoli's expectations, and won't even have any impact on the team. In my opinion, it's much better to look for younger players whose stamina isn't a priority. If they force it, the big possibility is that Napoli will of course waste money on transfers.  that happened, keeping Osimhen rather than having to sacrifice him just for an old player like Lukaku.
Napoli is considering buying Lukaku for a reason, and this is what Conte wanted from the club now. I fully support this decision because Napoli was too centralized on Osimhen. They must have also have another striker, who has the same quality as Osimhen. Look at when Osimhen got injured last season. It made Napoli struggle because they had no secondary striker as good as him.

The decision to approach Lukaku from Chelsea is the best one. I remind you Lukaku played for Inter Milan and Roma for two seasons. His performance was still very consistent. Napoli can have two strikers if they were not keen on selling Osimhen to Chelsea. It totally depends on Napoli's choice. The best if you're also seeing it from what happened to Napoli last season.

Elsewhere, Thomas Muller has announced his retirement from the German national team and this year's Euro will be the last event he will participate in. It doesn't feel like he has been a mainstay for the German national team at international level, but in the last competition he took part in he started to decline and we rarely see him starting. Despite all that, he will still play football with Bayern Munich next season and his contract will end in 2025.

He is 34 years old, he probably can no longer withstand competition with younger players, and by the way, Bayern also has a very busy schedule and quite high competition, so it would not be surprising if he decides to end his career with the German national team. During the period when Tuchel was the coach of Bayern, he also did not always get a place in the starting lineup, I don’t know how it will be with Kompany. Perhaps Müller does not have much time left in Bayern, and I doubt that he is going to move to some other teams, I am almost sure that he will be with Bayern until the end.
With all that happened with Mueller this season. I think it's time for him to consider leaving Bayern Munich too, after he decided to retire from Germany National club. Kompany may be also rarely putting him into the main squad, and Mueller may be often in starting from the bench. The decision to retire from Germany national team is good choice.

I really appreciate that Mueller to give the young talents the opportunity to play in the National team in the future. To be honest, Mueller is finished with Bayern too, and I'd like yo see him to make a move to the Saudi Pro League maybe.

Muller was one of the most underrated footballers of his generation. When Muller was at his prime, I must say he was tactical genius, and reasonably quick. One of my favourite attackers at bayern munich.

It's time for muller to move. I expect him to leave from Bayern Munich as well.

If there is anything that is worth buying with low risk then it is solana.
IMO it was worth investing as long as it's still around $120 more than that price I really doubtful to invest into this.
from the news I heard that solana ETF just fail to garner attention from people and most people just don't really care I guess the excitement caused by ETF has been hitting diminishing return after ETH ETF spot filing and it just matter of time until it went live.

so it gives me hint that it might not be a great investment as many have pictured but i can always be wrong.

I like the fact that ETH just full on following the price movement of BTC and add that with little more bullish tendency due to the ETF listing that's gonna come.
meanwhile the other altcoin aren't as bullish as ETH, knowing that in the most recent rally when BTC hits ATH, ETH was underperforming it is time for ETH to redeem itself and reach that ATH once again.



chart looks perfect for it to have one massive big rally following BTC price movement, matter of time we gonna witness BTC reaching $74k and ETH will follow.

Many people said the price of BTC didn't rise because recent event but because bitcoin is fundamentally going to have a rally based on technical analysis but i'm gonna say that the fact that trump didn't cancel his upcoming speak at bitcoin conference probably give a really positive vibe to current market.

goes to show the market is pretty bullish if not for the news of the dumping. but regardless it was tragedy.

It seems all of the Mancity local titles under the Premier League will definitely be cancelled. If the punishment is only a fine and relegation, perhaps many clubs will still not be satisfied.
Other clubs will definitely protest with a reason that Mancity can get those trophies because they have many quality players by cheating the financial fair play.
However, it will be complicated to decide which club has the right to get those titles after Mancity is decided guilty and had all the titles revoked from 2009 to 2018.


This is another topic what I'm curious about. If we consider like the case is over and all those titles are taken back from Manchester City in the Premier League. Then what happens?  Huh
Nothing happens with city. The title will roll to the second place at the season when city violated the PSR rules.

I mean will those years be left as blank or will there be a thing like the teams right behind them are called as new champions of those years? I guess the first one would happen because I haven't seen any example of the latter.  Grin
The team behind them (2nd place) will be receiving the trophy won by city.

It can really be like the end of an era in England, at least for a while if Manchester City reignite it by climbing back to the Premier League. Anyway we will see about that as we don't even have the result in our hands.
There may be only a few PL trophies to be taken away if City is found guilty. But, it will not affect the recent trophies they won.

It's not the end of era in england.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2024, 02:40:09 PM
The match between Uruguay and Canada was very interesting because both teams were very serious about the game, and both teams wanted to finish in the third, The match ends a draw and Uruguay won the match in a penalty shootout, even before the match I predicted that Uruguay will win the match and that is what happened, although it was very tough for Uruguay because Canada is very serious in the match and they scored a leading goal in 80 minutes which make me feel like Uruguay is going to lose the match and after 90+3 minutes Suarez turn up and score to equalize for Uruguay and Uruguay win at the penalty shootout.

I wasn’t actually expecting that kind of performance from both teams because some times, players see a third place play off as unimportant game. It was a different approach yesterday from Canada and Uruguay as both teams played with high level of seriousness. Although, I did not expect the game to end up in penalty shootout having placed my bet on Uruguay to win in a regular time of play.

I have observed how most games played in this tournament ended in shootout and I come to a conclusion that no team is small or can be underrated in football. Canada displayed impressive performance from the beginning of this tournament which I actually least expect from them. Congratulations by the way to Uruguay for winning the third place in this year Copa, I believe they can go farther next year.

Frankly, I was quite surprised with how this match went because I thought that Uruguay would get an easy win in this match but, what happened was that Canada played quite impressively and they were able to provide fierce resistance to Uruguay. Canada could have won this match if only they could have played calmly toward the end of the match, unfortunately, they looked very nervous when facing pressure from Uruguay, and that actually created an opening for Uruguay to get their goal.

It's very clear that if uruguay's team was exhausted, and Bielsa was the main cause of it. Uruguay could win the game easily, but due to the fatigue, and they played bad enough in this game. I appreciate that Uruguay won the game against Canada. It was very hard for Uruguay.

A small criticism for the Canada coach. If he was smarter, Canada could have used the momentum. Uruguay's players were tired. They could have put more experienced players in. But, the problem is Canada has too many young talents. This made them struggle to beat Uruguay.

It saddens me to see how Bielsa runs Uruguay players ragged in this game. It's very obvious that the Uruguay squad was getting exhausted. But, it's necessary for Uruguay to be placed third.

And I must also appreciate how Canada finished at the 4th place. Never expected this to happen with Canada.

^  And that's the thing. They have luck on their side and it had them carrying some kind of momentum going to the finals.  :/  And that makes them dangerous.  But all in all I think this thing will be a 1 - 1 draw and it'll all be decided via a penalty kick off.  And win or lose, I think that'll be the most apt ending.


There's no word of lose in england's dictionary today. People somewhat call 'em lucky because of they got a penalty in the game against the Netherlands. But, the referee gave it and it was a pure skill from them to execute it.

I'd rather predict a dramatic ending in an open-play game instead of getting a draw, then penalty. England is performing better than in the previous games.

Sorry, but england wins today.


Asked this at the other Euro thread but got no reply.  Lol.  What do you guys think of Rodri anytime goal scorer at 7.60.  Good or nah?

It's nay. Rodri is not gonna score today.  Cool The chance for rodri to score in this game is very damn small, and he had recorded 1 goal from 5 match. it's obvious, i'd say Nay for this. But if you can afford to risk your money, then just do it.  Cheesy

fear and greed index only reflects current state of the market, no correlation at all to what gonna happen in the future, market in fear doesn't mean the market just gonna be doomed.
like right now price bounced despite fear and greed index is at low which means fear.

at best its just an indicator to give us insight that people are scared, that's it, but isn't it a good time to invest if people are so scared they caused the price of bitcoin to be highly undervalued?
I see this fear and greed index as an indicator to DCA more if it hits fear as simple as that  Grin.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Telegram games could be the future of Web3 gaming on: July 14, 2024, 04:58:06 AM
if the sustenance of the game depends on the airdrop, then it's fated to be doomed since eventually people will abandon it once there's no incentive to play the game.

lets be real here, these telegram games are just chore, if not for the future airdrop most of people won't even bother, so it's not entirely future of web3 gaming.

what I expect from web3 gaming is bunch of AAA games integrating NFT into their micro transactions or something like that, even better if there's transferrable game item but the game itself should have quality and at least as good as the AAA game so the people don't stay playing the game because incentive but because the game is purely fun and entertainment. these telegram mini game isn't that.

Beckahm wants Mckennie in InterMiami, the player is not in Motta project and he can leave.
Anyway it is a small market so far.

Top 3 purchases.

1 Micheal Olise from Crytal Palace to Bayern 53 m
2 Douglas Luis from Aston to Juventus 51.5 m
3 Palhinha from Fulham to Bayern 51 m

It seems like Kompany is collecting talented players from the Premier League.  Grin  Palhinha and Olise both are solid transfers. He knows the quality of a player well as it seems. Let's see whether we will see the same with his football as well.
I appreciated that Kompany signed players he knew about. He did not randomly sign players from other leagues that he knew nothing about. It sounds good enough. EPL players can also play well in the Bundesliga. Look at Kane, Sancho, or even Maatsen.
It may be motivating Kompany to recruit EPL talents to join the bundesliga. It seemed to me Kompany is not willing to take the risk by recruiting the players he didn't know well about them. Kompany at least, being a coach with a very wise decision regarding player transfers.

Juventus is targeting to sell many players that they see unnecessary to raise funds.



This would be for their benefit if they want progress. The squad they have had so far haven't been able to do great things I'm afraid. Motta is on the right route by making significant changes.  Smiley  It is hard to be confident of them next season yet. But even being able to stay in the Serie A title competition would be a great progress.

Motta did his job well. He sold some bad players like Kean. This is helping the club to raise funds to recruit a quality player. Juventus was on the financial struggle and selling the player are the best option for this.

It's rarely seeing a coach that can deliver on his first season in the new team, and new squad as well. So, give motta some times to slowly deliver for the club and fans.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 13, 2024, 01:32:36 PM
Firing Nagelsmann was the worst decision Bayern could have made. I still don't understand why they made that decision. Nagelsmann was doing well in both the league and the UCL, and while things were going in his favor, Bayern suddenly fired him. Later, Tuchel was fired and an offer was made to Nagelsmann again, of course, the honorable man rejected this offer. Kompany is a coach they can easily waste in case of failure. So they went to try it. Let's see if the decisions are right or wrong.
If the decision made by Bayern Munich is wrong due to the failure that might happen to Kompany, Bayern Munich might regret firing Nagelsmann very much. Because in terms of the results obtained by Nagelsmann when he was still coaching Bayern Munich, it was clearly not bad so that it would be an important lesson that Bayern Munich will continue to remember if Kompany fails to bring Bayern Munich next season to achieve the targets they have always wanted.
Bayern had already regretted fired Naglesmann, and replaced him with Tuchel. That's why Bayern had contacted him before the end of last season. But, Naglesmann snubbed Bayern's new offer to rehire him as their new coach to replace Tuchel. And i think signed Kompany as a new coach was a not a wise decision.

I like bayern munich, but im not a fan of this hire really, but time will tell us. But again, thanks to Bayern management for making the Bundesliga interesting again. I predict Bayern is unlikely to dominate the league like they used to be. Bayern probably gets a karma after they disrespectfully fired Naglesmann.

As I was expecting to see because of the good performance of Inzaghi in Inter Milan especially in the last two years they extended the contract of this coach to give him more time and get the team improved in the next years.
He extended his contract until 2026 and he will get 6.5 million euros per season which made Inzaghi the most expensive coach in Serie A.
However, Conte in Napoli gets a good amount of salary like Inzaghi.
So far Inzaghi had 158 games in Inter Milan and his performance was good enough to make them extend the contract of this coach for a longer time.




Yeah, this is what I've been waiting for, a new contract for Simeone Inzaghi. He deserves it. He has changed Intermilan a lot. Again, Simeone Inzaghi helped them get out of the financial crisis too.

Intermilan has recorded a new record on their revenue under Simone Inzaghi.



It's not just stopping there. Simeone Inzaghi helped Inter Milan be stable. They never finished outside the top 3. This shows how big Inzaghi's influence was on Inter Milan.

Nerazzuri made the right decision. They gave Simeone Inzaghi a lucrative contract to stay for more seasons.



Inzaghi achieved a lot with Inter Milan. He deserves it all. Kudos to Inter Milan for extending him.

the trend is similar to base and warpcast, influx of many random projects but still valued by the community, it's just another form of meme coin I think.
regardless as long as it's free money for the people I guess it's fine, but expect the trend in TON ecosystem to be vary because as far as I know the ecosystem is still new and people are still bullish to create new project in the blockchain.
if DOGS valued high, there will probably be another project that will copy it and have similar mechanism.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cardano vs Ethereum on: July 13, 2024, 01:43:47 AM
No, Cardano will never be able to catch up to Ethereum because there are several factors that make Ethereum superior in terms of adoption and blockchain technology development. One of them is the established network and large community supporting it. Additionally, Ethereum has a very strong ecosystem, with many applications and projects built on top of it. Although Cardano offers advanced technology, it still needs time and significant effort to compete with Ethereum's position.

But, I have both  Grin

Ethereum got the benefit of widely used solidity and EVM so people are well versed with developing contracts in ethereum and in turn there are many influx of new dapps.
with cardano, it's like starting everything from scratch again learning all those new languages such as Opshin, etc. nobody got time for that.
so I suppose if cardano want to have as many dapps as ethereum they should support solidity language.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tron is now number 1 blockchain on: July 13, 2024, 01:27:44 AM
USDT is the most used stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market, there is no doubt about that, but it doesn't mean that Tron is the most secure and successful blockchain right now. Besides, the fees for transacting USDT on Tron network aren't low, so you can't say it has low fees which might make it the best among the competition. I don't understand how you can compare a centralized cryptocurrency and chain with decentralized ones such as the Bitcoin blockchain.

Tron might be good to some extent, but saying it is number one would be a bit too much, in my opinion. There are a lot of L2s these days in the market, and each one of them offer low transaction fees and quick transaction confirmation times, I'm sure some of the new ones are even better than Tron.

even most of L2s are already having dirt cheap fee right now which make me thinks that even if TRON offer no fee for stablecoin transfer as proposed by justin sun already it makes no difference whatsoever.
the fee thing becomes irrelevant already.

here is the fee from ETH's L2 zksync for sending ERC20, the fee is really low that I think it's cheaper that TRON


so yeah I agree, this metric to determine TRON as best is invalid and holds no proof.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 12, 2024, 11:28:41 PM
While I agree that Osimhen is the better player, it doesn't make financial sense for them to keep him if they can sell him for a lot of money. I think it's clear that we are talking about a situation that is a bit sensitive and we could potentially see Napoli make a lot of money, and that is why they are looking to sell him.

Imagine just selling Osimhen, and then loaning Lukaku, not even buying, or it doesn't have to be him, just get another striker for cheaper. That way they would have enough money for the whole season without even making a dime, all the money they make this season would be pure profit, which could go to make the team better. These are all important stuff, because running a team is very expensive, so they need the money.

De Laurentiis worked on a big contract extension with Osimhen but the player accepted only one year. This shows that Osimhen doesn't want to stay for long term. Probably he won't extend his contract any longer than this. It is why Napoli had better sell him on time as long as they can't convince him. His market value is 100 million euros and they can still find a team which will pay a much higher sum than this.

Napoli or any other top Serie A team isn't in a great financial condition. They can't act like for example PSG. You know PSG couldn't get any transfer fee for Mbappe. But will this affect them seriously financially? Of course not.  Smiley
And chelsea has become the strongest candidate to recruit Osimhen from Partinopei. I was reading yesterday. It said Chelsea is willing to raise their bid for him. They will also add Lukaku to sweeten the deal to recruit Osimhen from Napoli. We know conte wants Lukaku and it will be a great option for napoli to get Lukaku + Cash.
No club wants to pay Napoli more than 100 million for Osimhen. But, if Napoli is willing to sell Osimhen for 100 million, many clubs are interested in recruiting him.

Again, it's also very weird to call napoli was not in a great financial condition. And i think it was not true. Napoli was in crisis during the corona pandemic. But, this Naples team has been massively recovering financially since the pandemic.

I give you the table of napoli's yearly revenue.



Source

Napoli has recorded the highest revenue since a decade ago at 22/23. They are fine, and that's also the reason why napoli refused many big offers for kvarat and osimhen.

They're not in the need of money due to the crisis.

Because whenever something does well, others keep on copying it, and only after it is good. Look at Hamster kombat, it existed before notcoin made all that money for people, meaning that it didn't start because notcoins success, whereas there are thousands of copies of notcoin AFTER it became successful. All of those will go down, all of them will worth nothing, we should not just start a project because a similar one made money, that is not a good enough reason.

It always works like that, the first "unique" project got the massive attention and success and then the copycats will flood the market and eventually dilution happens, this telegram mining project feels incredibly similar to the L2 and meme coin trend where the projects that comes after the first one is valued less and less as the time goes.

eventually once many of these mining projects do their TGE, many of them will become the next "onchain project" with its miniscule valuation and airdrop reward worth only few cents  Grin.

I hope you have to think 7x again if you want to invest in a new meme project, because I think it will be a waste of your time later, there are still many coins that are very suitable and worth investing in both long and short term, for example existing altcoins in the top 10 CMC, this altcoin has a great opportunity to provide large profits in the future.
There's a time where we got so low capital the only way to make our time worth managing that capital is through aggresive investment and investing in meme coin is one of the way.

New meme project is okay as long as we know the risk involved in investing in such coin because let us be honest here, many times newbie investing in meme coin just thinking about that scenario where they flip their $300 into $50.000 and be happy with it turns out they're losing big time because very few of these meme coin project actually gonna still be alive 3 months into the future.

because big fat chance, the new meme coin that you invested might turning out to be like this in the future  Grin
