You can see the King's return here. PSG's Sergio Ramos gets his first goal for the club and he turns the light to him. It makes me more excited to watch PSG vs Madrid. As a result of letting Ramos handle the team, you will also be more likely to win the Champs League. In 3 games, Ramos equalized Messi's league goal.
PSG returned to Ligue 1 as a dominant force, and that attitude should continue.
Ramos is a very goal productive defender but a first goal for PSG does not mean he is back to his best. Moreover, at his age and after 2 seasons seriously affected by injuries, don't put too much hope on Ramos. He can be useful in some matches but in a long campaign, if PSG rely on him, it's nightmare for them. I feel that PSG don't have such plan so it can be good for them.

Congratulation Ramos for his first goal in Paris after very first matches for PSG. You made me laugh when compare Ramos and Messi in terms of goal they scored for the club so far.

PSG will be winning the league title without any hassle in my opinion. What I loved is that Ramos has scored a goal and he is given the freedom and maybe the leadership (i guess?) maybe PSG might do better, as I personally think that Ramos is a better leader on the field compared to Marquinhos.
But a lot of hard games coming for PSG, especially vs Real Madrid., Hope that they will do good.
It seems very likely like that. PSG are very strong in Ligue 1 and in this season, they have yet lost many points by their carelessness. So with their attention to win Ligue 1 at higher level than the past season, it is very difficult for other clubs to beat them in this competition. Current leading advantage is big enough for PSG to win Ligue 1 even if they don't have their best in rest of season.

Because there's a huge prize to earn if they spot the perfect strategy that work for them that's why this certain belief spread especially with those people who seek profit in the gambling scene and mostly they are the one who get dismay since their expectation on what they think working strategy will work at them but end up they are losing because it never work at them. Lets just enjoy the game and play with those strategies since its really fun to do expiremental things while betting on luck based games offered by here and other casino.
Good strategy is to bet with multiplier that is not too high. Bet is bet but if you bet with very high multiplier, chance to win is very low and chance to lose is very high. You can try high multiplier after you have good reserve from your previous bets. Use small part of profit from previous bets for very high multiplier. If you win, it is magic! If you lose, it's not a serious matter because you use small part of profit to bet high.

Don't hope high with high multiplier. Don't bet all with high multiplier. Don't bet too many times with high multiplier. Do it responsibly as most as you can.

Milan - Juventus was the biggest match of the week. It was important for Milan in terms of not falling behind Inter more. As Inter managed to defeat Venezia, Milan needed a win here. And Milan played really well against Juventus and didn't let them have so many chances too. Juventus didn't have even one shot on target I mean. But they still managed to draw with Milan by 0-0 and got one point. Milan players must be sad for missing a big chance. Napoli have caught them in the standings now and got past them also. But they have the same points now.
It is a big match for them. AC Milan already lost the second position and in the same time, Juventus are moving up closely to top 4. It means AC Milan will have to not only fight against Inter Milan but have to be careful if they don't want to drop further and struggle to fight with other clubs for a position in top 4. Juventus are one of their direct opponents for top 4 competition. AC Milan aim at Scudetto but now it seems they are moving off Scudetto direction and have to get back to it soon.

Napoli and AC Milan have been closely on the table but Atalanta and Juventus are not too far behind them. Those 4 clubs will fight for 3 positions in top 4 that makes this race very exciting.

I didn't even want PSG to make the final this season. Although they have a lot of great players, it doesn't seem like they have the UCL winning mentality in every player yet. Moreover, they will play Madrid, of course I will choose Madrid to win. At least all madrid players are more experienced than PSG this year. But I think the opportunity still exists for PSG they could certainly be a surprise and beat Madrid, Madrid must be vigilant.
Real Madrid are like AC Milan with DNA to succeed in Champions League. However in football, you can not beat all opponents and all times with history and your tradition. So in this clash, Real Madrid have more experience, more advantage but PSG have their own diligent chance to beat Real Madrid. They don't have to fear Real Madrid because of history, tradition, whatever. They have enough world-class players to beat Real Madrid.

the problem of PSG is not the mentality, it is not lacking the presence of champions
the problem of PSG is the lack of cohesion of the team, a team must work together champions or not, and it is not easy or trivial to fit all the pieces together
They can change it with time. Like Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona. Do you recall that Barcelona were almost nothing in Champions League before they had a golden era with Pep, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, etc.?

Chelsea were nothing before they won 2 Champions League. Manchester City and PSG are moving more closely to Champions League title and they are keep improving their squads. I am sure they will win Champions League but to achieve what Chelsea have now, they might need one  more decade.

Yes, that's common, when a mediocre team plays against a top team, the mediocre team will only play defensively and there's nothing wrong with that. But if Madrid really put the starting eleven as a main player then I believe, even though Elche played defensively it was still not strong enough to withstand Madrid's attacks. This does depend on the tournament as well but at least it's not surprising that when they enter extra time, they will change their gameplay to be more open. By the way congrats to Madrid too, they have qualified for the quarter-finals.
Elche almost succeeded to bring Real Madrid to penalty shot but they were beaten by super late goal from Eden Hazard who joined from the bench for substitute players. It is an important goal from Hazard. However, to be fair and honestly say about Eden Hazard's contribution in Real Madrid, he has failed so far.

He has some good moments but in general, he has many issues since his transfer from Chelsea. Unwell body fitness (a little bit overweight sometimes), too many injuries, missing too many matches. When he is able to play, his performance is not good enough at his level and his ability.

Hazard is very similar to Kaka. It is not his first season for Real Madrid and now there are rumor that Real Madrid do no longer want to keep Hazard there. If any club can pay high fee to take Hazard out of Real Madrid, I believe they will let him go.

Juventus are in a good trend in Serie A. The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last five matches, with winning in four matches, this is being a very good results. Meanwhile, Milan, currently lacking consistency, from 5 matches, they lost 2 times. I'm a little pessimistic about Milan performance in this match, moreover the condition of AC Milan's defense is not good, this will become an opportunity for Juventus to beat Milan.
They silently improve their performance and position on the table. They did not make noise like Napoli or AS Roma in ealry of this season but now they have very solid form which is much better than Napoli or AS Roma. AC Milan are not much stronger than Juventus and they will have to be very careful. If they play carelessly, I am sure that Juventus have enough good players to beat AC Milan just by one or a few moments.

The target of the two teams are completely different here, but both teams need points and Milan are fighting for the title. They are still far behind Inter Milan. Juventus are fighting to qualify for the Champions League. However, Milan has won 2 of the last 5 matches, 2 matches have been drawn and Juventus has won 1. Milan have scored 9 goals in 5 matches and Juventus have scored 6. Milan is ahead in statistics. It is also Milan's home match. Milan will definitely get a little more advantage.
They have similar performance recently and I consider they are at same quality and same form. So it will make this match will be exciting and quite balancing for both teams. Juventus are moving up towards top on the table and I think AC Milan will have some kinda worry when they have to play against Juventus. Both teams need to get 3 points in order to support their own race. Playing at home can be an advantage for AC Milan but it is not all. They also get another advantage from Chiesa injury. We know Chiesa has more importance in Juventus after the successful Euro 2020. Now he has serious injury and missed rest of this season.

High ego is always becoming an inside enemy of the football team. It is one of the main tasks of the coach to solve the issue and motivate all players equally. What I can see is that Carrick with his few matches was able to unite those players but not with Ole and Ragnick. Combination of young and old players can make a team become powerful if the management especially the coach is able to maintain the ego of the players.
When players are young, high ego will trigger their ambition and if they are professional and talented, they can achieve great things. Ronaldo was like that in Old Trafford years ago. We do know how he changed totally after a summer, after his red card in World Cup 2006. The rest is history in Old Trafford then Real Madrid.

Now he is old and at his 37 years old so that his high ego now is a barrier for growth of young players in Old Trafford. It is also a huge challenge for Ragnick. It is not coincidence when old legendary players have to be replaced or forced to leave clubs. They have too much power in the club and if they stay, the club can have so many conflicts between players and coach.

Ronaldo now is still ambitious and he does not happy in Manchester United as I see. He want trophies from club level to personal level. I am sure he wants to win more Ballon d'Or and Champions League. He is smart enough to know he can not get such in rest years of his career in Old Trafford.

You forget to consider Real Betis and Real Sociedad as other candidates for the winner. Although their players' quality isn't as good as Real Madrid players, they can surprise us if they play more solid and have more motivation in attacking. Personally, I assume these teams have the same opportunity to win. It depends on how consistent they show their best during the match. So far in La Liga, both Real Betis and Real Sociedad can surprise us.
With their achievement in La Liga, they can bring it to Coppa del Rey as well. In cup tournament, smaller clubs can make surprise because they only need one or two outstanding matches than usual and go next. If they can beat top clubs in La Liga, they can repeat it in Coppa Del Rey. Especially when clubs like Real Madrid don't completely focus for this Cup. Their main targets are La Liga and Champions League so there is more risk to be defeated in Coppa del Rey.

Quote
Their positions are in the 3rd and 5th place, no one expects them to achieve those positions in the early of the season.
If we don't see their matches or match highlights at least, we will not believe how they can achieve so impressive results and high positions in La Liga.

Arsenal looks a more better and serious team than Manchester United this season, think of where they were after some games at the beginning of the season and where they are now, you can see the huge improvement Arteta and the players have achieved so far.
Their players are mostly young and have more reasons to fight and build up their career. In Manchester United, they have too old players with extremely high ego like Ronaldo, Pogba, Bruno, etc. or young players but have issues with attitude like Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho. A team with such players can not unite to contribute for general purposes.

Quote
Manchester United have played more games than both Arsenal and Tottenham who are sitting right above them, Manchester United cannot make top 4 positions if they continue to loose points  against small opponents like they did against Aston villa, the defense has been too weak, like they don’t even know what they are doing.
Even those teams have same total matches, with current motivation, Tottenham and Arsenal can do better than Manchester United in near future. A club can not achieve good results if players have conflict with each other like Greenwood and Rashford just as example. Manchester United currently have more issues than that. Ragnick has some issues personally with Ronaldo as well and it is not easy for him to satisfy high ego of Ronaldo but at the same time can manage to secure good results and unite among players in the club.

My worst time with transaction fee is with Bitcoin in 2017 when its network was attacked by pershaps Roger Ver and Bcash team. I did not know how to use non custodial wallet in that time too. On centralized exchanges, they charge very expensive fee. I know when the network congested and transactions can be stucked for 10 to 14 days, expensive fee is unavoidable but if I use non custodial exchange with customize options for fee rate, I can get better fee and can bump fee for mine as well.

With Ethereum network, my bad time is in 2021 when DeFi trend makes its gas price went up too high. Fortunately than now, with price of Etherum is much higher, with same gas price, people will have to pay overkilling fee on ERC20 chain. I stopped using this chain for my transaction since 2021

Recent weeks, fees are very painful on ERC20 chain as I read from news. I don't mind to check it by myself or use this chain again. $200 to $300 in transaction fee is very expensive and unacceptable.
2913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 20, 2022, 05:50:50 PM
The defeat of Dortmund of course surprised many people, apart from being the favorite club in that match, dortmund even played with their best squad, but unfortunately Pauli was able to surprise dortmund and Pauli solid defense made it difficult for dortmund to create chances to score, now there are only two competitions that make it possible for dortmund to win the trophy, the european league and the Bundesliga, maybe they can get it this season although it is quite difficult but not impossible for them to achieve.
It is unexpected result but Dortmund played in that match with good attitude to win and go next. So this defeat does not come from their lack of concentration for the match. It reveals that something under the iceberg which is bad and on going in Dortmund. In general, it happened in Champions League and Dortmund failed there already. Now it continues to expand to Germany cup but it already happened so Dortmund will have to move next. Their last target in this season is protecting their 2nd position in Bundesliga and reserve a solid ticket for Champions League 2022 - 2023 season.

On tuesday though Dortmund was eliminated from the DFB Pokal by a team from the second Bundesliga which was totally unexpected and both the players and the coach of Dortmund are extremely disappointed about that. So i think the momentum that Dortmund had is pretty much gone now.
The defeat is bad because opponent is from Bundesliga 2 but it is not the worst. The drama between Dortmund and Haaland will have more negative impact on Dortmund and Haaland performance. They are not happy with each other now so Haaland will be distracted from training and playing. Dortmund rely on him too much so it will do affect them as well.

Above all, even with best and happy Haaland, Dortmund still did not beat Bayern in Bundesliga for trophy competition. With all things occur recently, and if Haaland moves soon, Bayern will have easier task to complete with support from Dortmund.

It is first time I see a casino uses the term Play to Earn which is more relevant to GameFi projects. Provably fair as I know, is more relevant to casino with server so gamblers will have to verify their bets and provably fairness of casino through server seed, client seed, etc. If it is a blockchain game, I don't see casino uses the term provably fair.

The combination of Play to Earn and provably fair makes me very confusing.

Bitcoin price showing high volatility, but it is staying between a specific range. It isn't impossible to see the price above $60k, but the chance is really low if you observe it by the volatility range. The outcome odds are really attractive on those higher price range. I have a strong believe that Bitcoin price will stay between 35k to 50k at the end of this month. So, placing bet on those 3 ranges could be profitable.
Bitcoin will have break out in February but will it break up or down? It is a big question for speculators and gamblers. In my opinion, I would prefer for a break out to retest $70k and I believe that in either Q1 or Q2 of 2022, Bitcoin will make its new all time high. Months from April to May will be very interesting for Bitcoin.

As we know, in stocks, we have "Selling in May and go away" so if capital go away from stocks, where will it pour into? If it is not real estate, gold, it would be crypto market. If it is crypto market, Bitcoin would be first choice because big capital will be more easily to enter and exit with Bitcoin than altcoins that have much lower trading volume.

Yes I admit that and because of that, I say Sevilla this season is better and even though the title candidates are very close to Real Madrid but I also have to admit the current points gap does make Real Madrid's position not quite safe. There are several factors that might end up overtaking each other, because Madrid also have to focus on the UCL if they still want to go further there then of course Madrid will make a rotation which is likely to be a blunder in La Liga, who knows. Although I didn't expect it, but I think the competition ahead for Madrid is tough and they also have to maintain their position in the table in La Liga, with such a close gap of course Madrid will share a difficult focus.
On top of that, Real Madrid are still stronger and Sevilla have to do so well and need luck to see lost matches from Real Madrid to win this competition. Sevilla do their job very well in Europa League in which they are champions in many seasons. They are nothing compare to top clubs in Champions League.

In La Liga, they have some seasons fighting for title but they did not get one. Will this season be the milestone for them to change it? I don't think Real Madrid will allow Sevilla to easily achieve it. This season can be a very last season Modric, Benzema, Casemiro, Kroos, etc. will play in a same club and can manage to win big titles. They are moving to separating time, some are old enough like Modric and players like Benzema, Kroos will be replaced by younger players sooner or later.

Fear is real, indeed. If anyone says there is no fear exists in his or her life, it is a lie. We are human so that we have to experience our lives with emotion and uncontrolled psychology as well.

You can not control such things but if you have good investment strategy and understand the market, you can build up a strategy for yourself to cope with fear.

Most of people who are engaged in the market fail to do this and it is why we see fear and greed reflected in market.  The Fear and Greed index shows that https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/

Do you think all people will feel fearful in red days or all will feel greedy in green days? There are minority of them will do oppositely with the crowd. So who are they? They are winners on the market.

The gap is 12 points and if Man City win then the gap will be 15 points, it's very far. Tuchel also seemed to be very confused by the declining performance at the beginning of this second half. Maybe they should immediately spend new players to add strength.
Not only Chelsea, Liverpool and other clubs can say goodbye to the title. Manchester City are running to the finish line very impressively. I don't see how they will throw away all big advantages and won't take the title in the end.

Yep, the point gap with Man City is quite far, I think Chelsea can forget to compete for the title.
With their situation, they will have to fight and struggle to hold a position in top 4. It will be a challenge for Tuchel if he wants to keep his job in Stamford Bridge. We saw in the last season how Lampard lost his job to Tuchel in the second part of season because of streak of bad result and put Chelsea in dangerous area for top 4 race.

Quote
I don't know why Chelsea players' performance is decreasing too much, especially their defensive line. Is it the sign that Rudiger or Christensen wants to leave Chelsea? They don't focus to play because of thinking too much about their future. I think Tuchel needs to remind all players about their commitment and motivate them to do their best. And if it is necessary, buy new players in this transfer window. By the way, the decrease of Chelsea players' performance isn't only in this match. They have got bad results in the last 5 matches (only 1 win, 3 draw, and 1 loss).
I discussed about difficulty new coaches in Premier League will have to face with. Tournament in Christmas and New year time is never easy for coach who has first season in Premier League. It looks like Tuchel did not handle it well in this season. I see his unfamiliarity with Premier League tournament is one of main reasons for this. If he can keep his job, next season, we might see he does it better with more experience.

PSG couldn't stop Mbappe from enjoying a new atmosphere in another team when he wanted to. I don't think he will stay at PSG much longer after this season is over. The only thing Mbappe wants to achieve is the Champions League title so he will fulfill his wish in other teams interested in him like Real Madrid. He's got an ego, but that's good for his career as a top player at the moment.
True that. Because Mbappe is very young and has his long career ahead so that he will not want to end his career in PSG. Even if PSG can tight him with a new contract, up to 4 or 5 years, I believe later he will leave PSG. Giant clubs with squishy tradition and in big leagues will be very attractive for ambitious players like Mbappe. They are able to pay high salary for Mbappe as well.

Even if Mbappe can win Champions League with PSG, it is better for him if he plays in Premier League, La Liga and win titles there. In personal side, it's more helpful for Mbappe in personal title competition with other players.

It's interesting that Lille won with three goals but forwards didn't score. It's a nine game unbeaten streak but they got a lot of draw in this series. Their current position is not bad but considering they are title holder that's kinda disappointing.
It means they have diversifying players to score goals but on the other hand, it means their forwards, strikers have something wrong in performance. If it is in a single match, it is not wrong but if it lasts for many matches, in a long period, yes something actually wrong.

I don't think it is coincidence while Lille have worse performance than in the past season and the general performance of their attacking system is worse.

italian cup:

Inter 1 - 2 empoli

Inter is losing the game, maybe they don't value this Coppa Italia, they should be more worried, but inter has an easy game in Serie A, I don't understand why they wouldn't value this game
Perhaps Coppa Italia is not priority of Inter Milan but losing a game against Empoli is something not right. Even without their best players, Inter Milan should not lose this match. It can be a beginning of something not too good with general performance of Inter Milan but it is too soon. Let's see whether Inter Milan can get out of it or will repeat the slippery fall in performance like Napoli.

Lazio will be hosting Atalanta this weekend. Lazio's performance lately is quite good, but beating Atalanta won't be an easy task. Because, Atalanta really needs more points, they are currently 4 points from Napoli, and also 1 point ahead of Juventus. Which means, losing against Lazio might result to them Falling out of the top 4. The match will be super Interesting and I can't wait. However, their last meeting ended in 2-2 draw, and we can also witness a draw on Saturday. But, many goals are likely to be scored. Therefore, I will be placing an Over2.5 bet on it.
Atalanta are feeling pressure from Juventus and they will have to try to beat their opponents to maintain current small gap against Juventus. They will have to protect their current advantage by their effort and can not simply wait for mistakes from Juventus to keep their fourth position on the table.

Lazio are not weak and I consider them in a same level as of Atalanta even Lazio have lower rank on the table. So this match will be very interesting and tight. Atalanta have more players who can decide match and it is their advantage. Lazio rely too much on Immobile for their goals.
