PSG wasn't that good during the group stages without a doubt, it is not just about past years, you could say that they are "better" than past years if they played dominant football during this years group stages but they did not, they played quite badly this year as well. That was just a month or two ago, and now they are going to suddenly be good enough to win the whole thing?

I think PSG is good at where they are, at ligue one, that's it and they should be happy to have that again and again. They are not going to end up with anything like UCL, they are just not good enough. Bad thing about the situation is that they can't drop to Europa neither, so they never win anything at European competitions, they just go beyond the group stages, and lose there.

Lewis Hamilton to ferrari is definitely the talk these days, but nobody talks about the other two situation. First of all, Sainz is gone with this new information, which will impact his season, he will not play team racing and he will try to get the most points, to him Charles is the enemy as well maybe more than anyone else and he may not listen to what others will say, no team order could make him give up positions anymore, or maybe better yet he might do it because he wants to show others he can be a team player.

Another situation is the empty Mercedes seat, sure Grossjean is a funny bit and all, but we know they will try to get someone better, I do not know who that person will be but they will really need someone great at that spot if they want to have a chance.

I think price will be between 40-45K at the end of the day and winners will receive x1.91 outcome. if today is the unlucky day and Bitcoin will see a huge fall, then those who made a bet on 37.5-40K price range will receive x2.63 outcome. There are exceptionally attractive outcome odds for those who made extreme bets but I think there is a very low chance of seeing price outside of 37.5-45K range.
I believe, those, who made a bet on 40-45K will win. So, congrats earlier from my side, I'm very confident!

Honestly, I do not look at the price as much as I look at the odds. Because odds usually do hover a lot around what the price is about right now, so most people gamble the highest amount to wherever we are, and that's an important thing of course because it decides on the odds.

I look at the odds outside of that period, a bit higher and a bit lower, that way I get to see if it worths the risk or not. Betting on what it is right now, so anywhere between 40k to 45k, doesn't make sense because odds are so little, plus crypto could move a lot and that would not make sense. However, betting on something that would be profitable, like 45k+ for example would make it a better wager, because the odds would be higher for that and return would be greater.

Like you, I support Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United needs a stable leader, and I think Ten Hag is the appropriate guy. I hope his ideas will pay off eventually, despite critics' criticisms of his style or player management. Team togetherness and his vision for the club's future are exactly what we need.

The Mourinho parallel amuses me. Mourinho enjoyed his successes with United, but looking back isnt helpful. You stated the team's form comeback; we should focus on that. Im optimistic as the players get fit. Long-term thinking and patience are crucial.

That would be possible only if he shows any type of improvement. Look at Xavi, won the title and a season later he is gone, ETH may have gotten the third position and go to UCL, but then he got out of the top four and lost at UCL as well.

So all in all, I would say that if he wants to stay and if United should keep him then it would have to be a better season for him next year. I am not sure if he will be even kept until next season, but with the way he is getting players who turn out to be not that great, I would say its not really all that possible. I do not fancy his chances to stay, and even if he does, how could we know that he would be better next season? I get that changing managers is not that easy, you end up with an unknown, but he isn't good enough to make people wary the possibilities.

If we see Bayern lose out this year, which would not be impossible then I would say that it would be crystal clear for the future of Tuchels career. I am not saying that he would not be hired anywhere again, but I bet that he will not be hired by any big place ever again. He would sort of turn into Mourinho, a manager that used to be good but not good anymore and won't be hired by big teams anymore.

Mourinho of course had much much more achievements before he started to get worse. Bayern is not the level to drop to like Saudi Arabia or something right away, he will still find some mid level team first at Europe but then I think he will get worse and worse. He has to win the title this season for his entire life to be shaped accordingly.

Lakers were missing both AD and Lebron, and they still won. Not that it means Lebron and AD are bad for this team, but the fact that they managed to beat Celtics with this squad is an insane achievement. The only reason for their success was the fact that they played big team ball and that is always good.

When you have stars, everyone else gets cold and then they look like they are missing a lot of shots, but when you shoot once every 7 minutes, it's normal that you would get cold and when you have stars then that happens because stars shoot the ball most and then you get the ball in rotation with everyone else and that turns out to be very few times. They need to start sharing the ball a lot more early on, to get people going at the start of the game, then Lebron or AD could take over if they have to.

For Chelsea's target of finishing in the top 4 or 5, I don't think it will ever happen, they don't deserve it, they still have a lot to fix and it's possible that won't be possible this season.

I agree with what you said. They don't deserve it. Chelsea's performance has been really bad this season. I don't know which fan said Chelsea could possibly reach the top 4 or 5 at the end of the season. I think at the moment Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham are much better than Chelsea so it's completely unreasonable to say Chelsea will be able to get a place in the top 4 or five at the end of the season. They have to correct their mistakes in this season because I don't think they will get any place in the international league in the next season.

Not only they do not deserve it, I also think that we are not going to end up with anything near that level for them this season, they are lucky to be in top 10 this season and just should be happy with that. They are barely 10th now, and I think they will stay around that level, 11th is just 2 points away from them but they are also only 1 point behind 9th, so it means they have to fight for their spot right now.

I think they will finish barely within top ten and they should be happy if they can actually achieve it. You don't have to be a good team right away, they are spending some money and they may become better in the future but for the current season they just need to make sure that they are finishing it as high as possible.

Things like this change the nature of the game as it changes the tempo and other things.

In tennis like you mention for example, the players have a limited amount of challenges. So, you could even have a situation in which the player experiences many tricky situations and runs out of challenges. That's another issue.

The thing is that in a game you have a lot of mental stuff, so when you stop the whole game all the time you change the rhythm of it. It's not the same sport.

What I meant with the robots is that robots simply follow the rules, unlike humans who disregard the rules all the time. It's much more interesting to watch humans than having everything so "correct". In the end what matters is the entertainment, not being right.

That is definitely true, if we had robotic referees, who made the right decision %100 of the time, the game may or may not feel fun but it would be at least fair. In situations where a foul may not be given, because the game is flowing well and you do not want to stop it, you would have the robot one stopping the game anyway, they may or may not have the "play the advantage" mindset but even if they do, stopping the game three times more than a regular referee would be a lot worse to watch, all games would be based on set pieces after that.

So, there should be a bit of a test and trial period where real referees would get feedback from the robotic ones and make their decisions, sort of like a tool instead of ruling the game themselves.

It is important to remember that addiction could have no bad results as well, doesn't mean that it is not addiction. Just like the OP is asking, you are seeing having an addiction that has an impending doom if you are not really careful, and that means just because you haven't had a terrible result so far, doesn't mean you will not have it later on neither, you should be careful about it one way or another.

There are too many people who are not careful about it, and they end up losing in the end. Imagine a person who gambles for a year or two and he wins a lot from sports betting, he has an addiction but he made money so he thinks all is well, then for a year he keeps losing and eventually has nothing left, as you can see that person never saw it as addiction ended up losing it all.

Political bets are very interesting and hope we will see them on many crypto casinos. I think it was very easy to predict Biden as a winner in the previous election, I didn't know about political bets or I would really bet on him.
Right now I checked bet365 and there are very nice odds: Donald Trump wins - 1.83 odd, Joe Biden wins - 2.75 odd. What a nice profit in our hands. I don't want to register on bet365 or any other fiat casino, if duelbits adds political bets, I am one of them who will make a bet. I think there are many others like you, so, duelbits, there is a demand and make it happen.

The difference between sports betting and political betting is that when you are betting on the sports, you are betting on something that is inconsequential, whereas when you are betting on the political things, you are betting on something that will change years on a nation. Remember, even if the president of any nation doesn't do much, like he doesn't even run the nation to the ground, if he is not a nice person, that does tell our kids that you can be a bad person, because if the president is not nice, why should the kid be?

Hence, political betting is far more dangerous, we are betting on the future of a nation, it doesn't matter if your team even gets relegated, sure you would be upset, but it doesn't change a thing in your life, presidential elections does.

Lebron with his tweet could basically be just making some statement and not really change much. I know that people joke about "legm" type of stuff and that is true in some cases he really did have a part to play but do you really think that he had any part to play building this team? It is obvious that he didn't really meddle with trades and free agents for a while now because the team that is built around him is not one that would fit him all that well.

I think it's quite clear that he feels like he is missing a lot of things with this, and should probably see the situation change a bit, it would not be all that simple. This is why I believe that the best thing to do regarding reaction would be maybe he just got bored with it, and wants something but doesn't have the power to do it himself.

On paper, Real Madrid has the potential to continue its positive trend ahead of the match against Getafe. even though this match is an away match, it shouldn't be a problem for Ancelotti and his team. Moreover, if we refer to the H2H meeting between these two teams, Madrid dominated the victory over Getafe, both away and home. so on the contrary, this match is a tough match for the home team, because the team that Getafe will be playing against is one of the top teams who is in on-form form in almost every match. which means, Jose Bordalas must prepare his team's squad to provide resistance when hosting the match against Real Madrid at Getafe's own headquarters. after all, it is not an easy matter to get full points even though Getafe is playing as the home team. moreover, Madrid will be aiming for full points in this match in order to shift the position occupied by Girona at the top of the La Liga standings. however, Madrid must work hard in this match. because if we refer to the predicted line-up for the home team, Getafe will play more defensively and only rely on counter-attacks in this match.

As for Real Madrid, as usual it seems Don Carlo will lose his full starting eleven in the match against Getafe. well, now we refer to the betting options, Real Madrid with odds @1.54 and Getafe @6.20. It's clear that Real Madrid are far favorites compared to the home team. The question is, can Getafe score a goal in this match. If yes, the Over option could be an option in betting on this match. with the match scenario ending with a score of 1-2. or, both teams to score. well, there are no other words other than let's just wait for this match to take place.

Real Madrid is still the strongest team in La Liga, maybe a decade ago we could talk about how Barcelona was better, and maybe last year Real had a bad year which was shocking considering they dominated the whole world of football a year before that, but at the end of the day we are talking about a team that is going to end up with a good result one way or another eventually and they always do end up at the top.

I think it's clear that people are making mistakes when they do not give enough attention to Real, and betting on them to win is a great way to make money, no matter who they play against, they end up winning. Odds are usually not attractive and the return is small, but it's fine to bet on them and get a little bit of profit anyway.

Looking at PSG right now, the way they did not really felt like they needed any big names to the team during winter was actually a statement on what they think about the team.

I am not saying that they are going to need it for the league, they do not need anyone for the league, but they would need some better players for the UCL title if they want that, which I can see that they really do want it but they are not really approaching it like they do. If they got some super names during the winter break, that would have made them so much better and they could use those players to get some good results at UCL as well. They already won everything except the UCL title so they should be focusing their moves based on that.

The fact that there are more and more people betting here, and them breaking records proves the point that RLB will always keep on growing. Considering the supply/demand situation they have, it will always keep on being something that will benefit the holder a lot.

However, that is the part that will take some time, people think of it like it's some super incredible difficult thing to handle, and that is why we are thinking about it like it's such a hard thing to do, we should be considering it as normal and not really consider rushing. Most people may feel a little worried, so they may sell, but if they do end up selling then they will not get the best out of the situation and it will be their loss, everyone should hold as long as possible.

The technology is developing more and more these days. For example they have introduced us a new system called "semi-automated offside technology". This system is helping the current VAR system significantly in debatable offside situations. Like this one no wonder we will see better technologies developed in the future to decrease the number of human error to minimum.

I agree that it is very annoying to see referees making simple mistakes. Even in VAR's presence we are seeing unbelievable human errors even in the most prestigious leagues in Europe such as the English Premier League. Sad

But we will get closer to full automation in time to maybe even make the error count 0 in matches.

For the life of me, I just can't understand when that starts and doesn't start. I see some questionable offside situations and sometimes they do show it, which is great, it removes all the questions on the minds, but usually five minutes after the situation, like what if that was the wrong call?

Maybe it is not like that in every nation but in UCL that was like that, I watched maybe 20 games this year, and I mean full 90 minutes ones, and in all of them, the semi automated came in like at least 5 minutes later, which means if the ref was wrong, then it would have been too late. And not only that, but it doesn't even come into play each time, sometimes they just don't show it at all, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

Aston Villa was only able to win one match in the last five matches, lossing points they obtained allowed Tottenham to overtake their position and kick them out of the top four of the standings. Aston Villa gradually experienced a decline in performance, Unai Emery fleet was no longer as consistent as in the first half of the season. Predicted to be like the next Leicester City, now Aston Villa doesn't seem to be able to maintain its position to lock in a ticket to the Champions League.

The latest defeat to Newcastle left a big question mark as to why they were able to lose points again, even though we see that Newcastle is experiencing quite a serious injury storm. I feel it will be difficult for Aston Villa in the future to break into the top four again if Tottenham overtake them, they will get an additional 3 points by beating Brentford tomorrow. For Newcastle, the victory they just got broke the bad results they had in their last four matches, an additional 3 points put them in 7th place in the standings temporarily.

Newcastle is not doing as well as they did last year and they are not lacking any funding neither, so the problem should be regarding the management. I am not saying just the staff, not like just the manager or something. I am talking about in general the whole management, from general manager to sporting director to everyone else.

I believe that it is not really all that confusing and I think it should be a team that you could avoid betting, it looks like they are good but at the same time they lose points at all places so they are not given proper odds. Normally when a team is good, they are given odds that indicate they will most probably win, but that also ends up being not that much of a big deal when they start to lose so you stop betting on them.

They may have played a lot together in the la liga teams they played for, but that was one time, that was over, for years now they haven't faced each other. They are much older now and they haven't played against each other for a while so this coming back against each other situation will be a lot better. I am not sure how it will be, I am not sure how much everyone will be getting, but I am sure that it will be one that will be viewed by tens of millions of people all together.

It is not even about betting here, I am not going to bet probably, all I care about here is that I want to see it happen, and that is why I think it's quite important that we just watch and have fun, instead of having some sort of side on this, just enjoy it while you can, it could be the last one.

I don't know what is in Real Madrid's mind that they haven't recruited Mbappe to be their main striker because the strikers that Real Madrid have are not very productive and only make comebacks at the last minute. If they fail to do so, they could suffer defeat, Anceloti is too confident in current players so they haven't decided to recruit Mbappé, we know the price of this striker is quite expensive if you want to bring him to the team, but I don't think this is a big problem because Real Madrid has stable finances and can afford to buy Mbappé, but it seems like Anceloti is wants to wait for the striker to become a free transfer at the end of this season so he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to buy him.

The high amount of money to be paid for the transfer fee now means cutting the budget that will be provided to the team next year. Getting it for free during the summer is also very important for Financial Fair Play rules. That's why Ancelotti is waiting for the summer season. Of course, there is no team that would not want Mbappe. They also have to think about the advantages of the club.

I would say it is also quite big difference to get him for free, and get him for money. They will get him for free, which means that they could just put up the signing fee for multiple years, even if they pay 100 million to him, if he signs 5 year deal, that would be 20 a year. I think they have waaaay more than enough to keep getting players like Mbappe and Jude.

The only question I have in my mind would be "do they need him?", because lets face it he is not a striker, he is a left winger and they have Vinicious there, and they will be forced to put Mbappe at striker, which is fine he is great there too but why not get someone who is a pure striker. Wait what happens with this City and regulations fines, and maybe they will get Haaland?

Monaco has been involved for 5+ decades, that is of course going to be some legacy track that will stay, Barcelona had to get better and it didn't. Plus, it is not about getting better or not, F1 wants to grow and Madrid market felt bigger to them I suppose, it is a city and being in the city does bring in a lot more money to be made by the teams as well, being far off is not that easy because it makes it harder to make money.

The reputation that city tracks get upsets me, it is always seen as worse, but the reality is that if you can do a proper one, I do not think that it should be this bad, the reason why it is so bad is that some city tracks are done terribly. If done well, I do not see why it should be worse, like for example Monaco is city, but so is Baku, they are not the same.

Trying to figure out some of these stuff is not that easy, I think many people just end up making a mistake and letting it be. I hope that we could do better with our strategies that are more fit for us and not really just get some general thing. I do not believe in all those "oh if EMA hits X number or below, you should definitely buy!!", why? How could that be possible, why would that mean anything, I think that is not normal and we should consider that to be not a smart move.

Not everyone is equal, and not each time EMA goes under X means it will do exactly the same, one by one, to the minute. So just make sure that you know what you are doing works for you, forget about the rest, just make sure that it does well for you.
