If I should pick a side and not sit on the fence, I'm going for Juventus to win the game and gather all the three points in this game. They have done well in the last five games in the Seria A and so has been done by Inter Milan. There'll be lots of defending and attacking anyways and the game will be interesting and tough. Chiesa has played couple of matches and haven't found the back of the net. Ask me if I see him scoring amd I'll say, No!

You should look out for the squad that score goals not the one that defends too much. I don't know of you aren't aware Angel Di Maria is no longer a Juventus player? I'd love that, I want Juventus to move to the top. ( Anyways, let the best side win ).
Honestly Inter is not doing that bad themselves neither, just one draw and four wins in all last five games, only one draw difference between Inter and Juventus on the last five games. However, I do understand the logic, there is nothing wrong with that, I do think that Juventus is a great team and they do have a chance to win. Plus, they made this season like a personal vendetta for themselves, they are trying harder than ever, because of last years punishment, they would have been in UCL and doing great and making more money if it wasn't for that points thing, so they are doing fine.

I am not saying Juventus will win or Inter will win, I have no idea which one will win, I am just looking for a fun game where nobody gets injured and we have fun watching. At the end of the day, these are not the bets I have to make, if it's too risky then I avoid it, instead I try to bet on the games that I have easier time picking who I believe will be winning that game.

I feel like that's the trouble with the world cup, we are only getting to see a few nations and that's why I support growing the number of teams that will join, yes mostly it will be other European countries that get the benefit and I am fine with that too, but American or Asian countries that will be a bit different could be fun. Look at what Bolivia did last world cup, totally unexpected, or look at any time a different nation joins, like how morocco was a big shocker to everyone around the world.

I believe that even though they may have trouble during the qualifying period, I think a team that may have just lucky 2-3 games, they can shock the whole world during world cup and that will definitely benefit everyone. I believe that we need to end up focusing a bit about the situation and could get better with time if we know what we are doing. I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that will benefit everyone one way or another hopefully.
I agree, with more and more teams it is going to be both open to surprises a lot more and that will definitely be a lot more fun, but even if not, even if a bad team joins and loses all games and goes back, isn't it better to see your team there and losing then not even see your team there?

I bet that with more clubs we are going to see even more viewers, there are already a ton of viewers for it there is no doubt about that, but we are going to see even more people as well. That's really an important thing, billions are watching these games, so we should have a lot more people in order to make it continue for as long as possible. I think it is quite entertaining to even lose here, compared to not even be at the world cup all together.

Gavi was showing a decent performance before getting injured. So his absence would be felt of course. By the way I have read interesting news about him recently. It was saying that FIFA were going to pay Barcelona 20k euros per day during Gavi's injury. Is this really true? If it is then I must admit that I'm hearing about such thing for the first time in my life.  Cheesy
It's nothing new anymore for FIFA to treat Barcelona is a special team, many matches in the past the referees were supporting Barcelona by not make a fair judgement, the decision is always pro to Barcelona. Not to mention robbery of Ballon d'Ors.

So it's not surprising for FIFA to help Barcelona in terms financial.
Honestly this is nothing unordinary, it's just 20k per day and to consider how much these teams are making, I bet that if you offered Barcelona 20k per day or Gavi back, they would instantly take Gavi back, it is not really a special thing. Making 20k per day is not really that much of a big deal at all, it is really a tiny amount for teams, even if he is gone for like 200 days, that's 4 million, which is nothing at all for Barcelona.

I can see some teams may think that's great, but Barcelona is not those teams, they have like hundreds of millions of dollars just in debt, think of how rich you need to be to have that kind of debt. This is why I believe that they are going to do fine with this, Fifa is not doing something special for Barcelona.

It’s not a good reason to hold back because his role was supposed to be dominating the paint not shooting 3s due to his height advantage. I know that some big man shooting nowadays but they dominate paint at the same time too like Chet.

Wemby on the other hand contributes a lot of turn over because he can’t secure properly the ball once he got it. He can’t be a good player design to right role for his height if he is afraid to have a contact since basketball is a physical sports. I remember reading an article which Coach Pop already stated that Wemby is avoiding a contact play.

https://www.sacurrent.com/arts/celtics-legend-blasts-spurs-popovich-for-not-getting-wemby-involved-on-offense-32981841
We do need to remember that this new age of big man are not really dominating the paint all that much, there are some like Embiid maybe, but Chet is like 100 pounds soaking wet, that dude is not going to dominate anyone. How do you reckon he could back people up, he doesn't have any muscle at all, he is not going to be able to post anyone up, he is going to be ruined down low if he goes there. Whereas, if he shoots threes, him and wemby have that advantage, it would be nearly impossible to block them, probably on three pointers attempted, they will have the lowest amount of blocked shots ever, and they are not even getting their faces covered neither, people can barely reach to that.

So they will have a clear shot to take, I believe that's a good thing for them. I think it would be smart to consider them as the most important part of their team, even with not going inside for post ups, they are still managing to find points and that's a good thing for them.

Xabi Alonso was the good player and now his performance with Bayer Leverkusen is giving him good time to show his best as coach which is surely impressive in this season if they are able to achieve something big surely things will be good for the rest of his future in Bundesliga they are at the top and in this UEFA Europa League they are also having good chance for the staying into hunt for the title their performance and achievements are giving all review how he is managing this all.

Even we are in early stages, but they are tagging as the favorite for the title with Liverpool with things will be clear after joining teams from the Champions League, but their performance is surely allowing them for staying at the top and have fair chance for this year's good end.
The only downside of being this good is that when teams have a great player and they are not a huge club, they usually end up selling that player, like even Mbappe came from some other team (was it monaco?) and eventually they sell that player for like 20-30 or even more, look at Dortmund and Jude, they sold him for 100 million, that's a ton of money.

However, Xabi is such a great manager and yet he will leave for free, he has proven to the world that he is a great manager and he can turn any club into a better club, and I am sensing that much bigger teams will put their claws into him eventually and get him. This means that Leverkusen will not get any money at all, because you do not sell managers, and they will get worse because next manager may not be this good. That's not a good thing in the end, it will definitely turn the situation a bit differently and we are going to end up with a lot of trouble one way or another, we should be careful.

Investing in AI-related coins such as FET, AGIX and OCEAN can be promising given the current trend in technology development. But still, these coins were mainly created due to the hype around artificial intelligence. After all, as long as there is hype, the coins will move, the hype will pass, they will all immediately go down in history
Never heard of those coins yet. Are they new? Maybe the hype from them are still there but I won't only depend on it. I won't also invest, only because I think that "they are maybe promising". But for me to be sure, I always do my research thoroughly. Yes, that's right. Most of the coins nowadays are only created due to the hypes and only a few of them are sincerely created because they got inspired of the new trend. These coins are created with a good quality and their devs insures that they will continue on improving it even if the trend already passes by and repaced by a new one. But it is still possible for some existing coins, to adapt the newer trends.

The days of the bear market are over, now the days of the bull market begin. Bitcoin bull market has started. The value of Bitcoin has increased a lot. Bitcoin price is currently 37, Which was 26 three weeks ago as well. This clearly shows that the Bitcoin bull market has started. Because without a bull market alone, it seems unusual for bitcoin to rise 10k in just three weeks. So I think that the Bitcoin bull market has started. So, bye bye bear market.
We may have gone too far these past weeks/months but I wouldn't go to a conclusion and say that the bear market is now over because we are still far from our last All-Time-high. Therefore, if I were you, I would withdraw my words now and I will only say that we are now in the bull market once we touched the $70k level. Even though a bull market can also be caused by different matters, what have helped the price to get this point is the news which can be still be considered positive even though some of them are fake news or rumors only about the approval of BTC spot ETF. BTC can do wonders. You will know that if you are not new here anymore.

The game between France and Gibraltar ended with a 14:0 win as Kylian Mbappe once again scored a hatrick for his country including a 40 yards stunning strike from the captain of the French team. It is France biggest win in history of football and was very entertaining to the home fans in the stadium as they watched their beloved team dominate the game from the opening minutes of the game till the final whistle.
Since it was played in France, the French national team continued to score goals without a break. Gibraltar was already praying not to experience a nightmare in the match, but after the red card they completely lost control of the game. The poor performance of the goalkeepers was also effective in this. He couldn't even catch the balls coming towards him. The nightmare ended with 14 goals.
I do not know maybe that is just me but I felt that it was in poor taste after a while. If they needed that many goals to win something then I would say that makes sense, like how goal difference matters and all, I would have understood that part.

However, I found it in bad taste because if they won 1-0 nothing would have changed, they would still win, it is not like they needed to score 14 goals, now they have gone and made a whole story about Gilbatrar being a terrible team and showing the world how terrible they are, these are other human beings too, and their colleagues as well, sure not at the same level but both teams are football players, so to think that they would do something so demanding as this, it really felt terrible. It makes me feel even better about them losing the world cup. It's really such a terrible thing to win like this, there was no need at all.

Ronaldo is still going great lately, I would say he is having a marvelous season for someone at his age, doesn't matter if the opponents he scored against are Saudi clubs or Liechtenstein, that doesn't really change the fact that majority of footballers are retired by his age, and he is still scoring goals for his country and club, that's a big deal.

Obviously nobody expects him to play like he did 10 years ago, that would be weird to expect to be fair, his years at Real Madrid made him one of the greatest players ever, and to expect him to play like that would be weird. I believe that for what they are doing, they are definitely doing quite well and should be considering that as a normal situation over long term.

Watching this In-season tournament deal right now...just feel really odd.  Watching my Chicago Bulls facing off against the Orlando Magic.  The court is painted all red which is actually kind of cool.  

As for me, the color of the court looks too bright, and I personally don't like it because it distracts from the performance of the teams. I don't know if the players are comfortable playing on such a court and if it somehow affects their performance in general, but I think the fans, especially in the upper rows, are unlikely to appreciate this coloring of the court.
I agree, it doesn't really look appealing to me to have these type of courts, basketball court is made of wood, let it show that and let it be wood colored, as much as possible, even the regular courts are not too much wood-like how it used to be, but it's fine, this? This is way too much if you ask me and needs to go back. To be fair, NBA has a big rating problem, it is getting less and less viewers, and they think that they could change some stuff, first all-star, now this tournament, like if they could just change some stuff or add new things they could get some added attention.

However, who was the first person that thought "if we can put an in-season tournament, we would get extra views? It was obvious from the first moment that that wouldn't be the issue. I mean the way the game is played right now is the issue, stop making offense a priority and just let the players play, bring back hand-checking and you got yourself old-school watched amazing basketball, just go back to basics, changing something doesn't increase the ratings, changing stuff is the reason why it went lower.

Dortmund should be not only win against Gladbach on the next weekend when they playing at home.
If they want to keep up with Bayern Munich and Leverkusen the next few games should be won.
Also i guess that its not only because Jude left as there new players in Dortmund and others have left too.
In my opinion they was a lot of times just unlucky.
They are only unlucky because they do not try their best to win trophies. That is the truth. They just want to make good business by selling the players that they have for good money. And that is the only thing they actually focused on. By following that path, they are never actually going to be successful. At least they are never going to achieve the trophies. And I do think that the fans are actually expecting too much from them. Especially because they are not interested in winning trophies. They cannot just keep selling the best players that they have for money if they want to go in trophies. I will actually say that they are lucky to be even performing like they are.
I do believe that its a good business plan for the long run, not like they could make profit every single season, so the yare putting the money aside to make sure that they have the finances ready to be always on the top, invest properly to keep the income coming all the time. I mean even if you are a huge club and buy like a huge plot of land and build houses there and sell, that's still investment for the club, and these are basically getting "cheap" players around the world and improving them by giving them some time and eventually they end up selling those players for higher price.

I believe that is not really that bad, and I think that should allow them to grow a lot in the next years as well and not just one year later. If they sold Haaland or Jude and just bought some other player to replace, they would probably fail, but because they are putting that money into good use by investing carefully, that will allow them to keep constantly be at a certain level.

I'll have a long laugh if Italy loses to North Macedonia today and doesn't make it to the big tournament again because of them... If that happens, then Macedonia can be called the Italian curse... I don't rule out that this could happen because the first game was a draw... But I really hope that Italy will win...
Italy will most likely win as the odd of 1.14 suggest just that in my opinion.North Macedonia is not a good team when playing away and I definitely rule out a draw for them in Italy,Italy was the last winner of the Euro against England so it would be a real shame if they don't make it again,this time chances are super high they will be playing in the Euro 2024 in Germany and most of the great teams will be there.

So the Euro will be a beautiful one as most of these teams like Spain,England,France,Germany and hopefully Italy will be contending to be winners as I rule out any other team like Portugal to repeat their 2016 success again.
I agree, Italy looks like they are much better and should win this game as well, they are definitely better than their opponent, but this is football and we do not know what could happen at any given moment. I understand that sometimes it doesn't really make sense, but I feel like we are not at that point, this doesn't feel like one of those games.

There could be some games where the underdogs could beat the favorites and we all love to see those games, it's great for betting as well, but that's not looking like this game. Italy must win, they need a win, and they need to do their best, and for a team that is heavily favorited and needs a win, I do not think that it will be all that weird for them to get this win at all.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 17, 2023, 07:22:10 PM
Easy game for Thunder. Warriors without Curry is already tasteless, they don't have Green as well. Klay plays awful and Payton is injured now. Warriors can only score with Looney and Kuminga, which is quite contradictional for them. Warriors can't compete against Thunder with only points in the paint. SGA started good, I expect an early Thunder win by 20+ points margin.
That's why they need to find a solution for their team since if GSW will heavily rely on Curry then they will be in huge trouble for more games if Steph is out of the game. They already have those shooters so they should maximize this guy and make them play hard so that once Steph is out they have other guys to step up for them.

They are having a good start earlier but suddenly they fall short and I think they are losing some morale for current happening on their team.

I really thought earlier that they are fine even if Steph is out but SGA and the rest of the gang prove that they are not so easy and they give a huge problem to more stronger team then show how good their current roster this season.
I feel like in normal situations Klay will not play this badly, this was one of those worst games of my life type of situations for him and normally he will play much better than this. OKC got to have this win because Klay played terribly, they needed GSW to have curry out, draymond out and klay missing bunch of shots all at the same game to get this win, if GSW was full squad and playing alright? They would get an easy win without a doubt.

I think it is important to remember that Curry has always been the most important piece of this team, they got CP3 to make sure that their second unit was good enough, now using him as started because Curry is missing, when the time comes and they are all 100% healthy, they will be a great team.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 17, 2023, 06:11:45 PM
The first defeat that Tottenham suffered this season was from Chelsea because of two red cards that their players received. Cristian Romero is famous for playing quite hard so it is not uncommon for bettors to bet on him to get a card, and with only 9 players playing, Chelsea is the team that has the advantage because after the second red card Chelsea managed to score 3 goals against Tottenham, and when they suffered the defeat against Wolves it was the most surprising thing and the factor of several core players not being able to play was also one of the causes of these two defeats.
Unfortunately, in the next four matches, Tottenham will face 3 quite tough matches so it is very possible that we will see them decline further, so competition will return between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool and we see Tottenham as a team that will no longer be consistent unless they can quickly recover from these two consecutive defeats
I mean I get the Chelsea game, because they had 2 red cards and playing 9vs11 is not that easy and I get why they lost and all, but that doesn't mean that they need to lose to Wolves, that was a different game and they went out with 11 full players and surely they had some booked ones but they were still 11vs11 and they should have won.

This is true only if you aim at becoming champions, if you aim at champions then you have to win these games, I can see just one loss, to Chelsea, that makes sense, Chelsea is not a bad team neither, even City got a tie, but they can't lose to Wolves if they want to be in the title conversation. It was obvious that they would eventually get out of there, and they sort of did with these two games.
535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is more profitable trading ETH/USD or ETH/BTC on: November 17, 2023, 05:48:49 PM
Yes, you will get an additional profit when trading the ETH/BTC pair if the market is in a bullish phase. But if you continue to trade this pair when the market changes to bearish, then your profit will be significantly reduced, and perhaps even reduced in dollar equivalent.
Of course, this applies to the negative scenario just as it does to the positive scenario. Although I only mentioned the positive scenario in my comment because the content is based on a positive scenario, a similar situation will also apply to the negative scenario. For this reason, it is always beneficial to choose the transaction parity to be preferred by taking into consideration the market conditions. In addition, it shouldn't be forgotten that in the event of a possible negative scenario if Bitcoin dominance becomes high and Bitcoin loses value there will be a loss both on Bitcoin basis and USD basis due to parity (like a double loss). Certainly, choosing transaction parity considering both scenarios will minimize possible risks.
I feel like the near future looks quite bullish, this is why we tend to look for the situation to be a bit more positive, and that is why it is normal to think about the bullish period. Plus, OP mentions "profitable" which means that it makes people think about the bullish period a lot more. I think it should be noted that we are talking about a situation that is not going to be all that simple, because usd and eth are good for very different periods. I am not saying that it is not going to end up with a bad situation, there could be moments when it is bad, or I could be totally wrong and it doesn't go well at all.

However, if you look at the market right now, and check out the few months we had so far, I would be easily saying that it has been great and will continue to do that. In that case, if the price keeps being bullish like it has been so far, then I am going to guess that it is going to be as great as it gets and you will be right to pick that pair.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: November 17, 2023, 12:49:00 PM
I think two European countries can reach the semi-finals in this tournament. The World Cup in Europe is very different from the World Cup outside Europe. For example, in the 2006 World Cup hosted by Germany and the 2018 World Cup hosted by Russia, the semi-finalists were all Europeans. In contrast, in the 2002 World Cup played in South Korea and Japan, South Korea played in the semi-finals and Brazil became champions. At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Uruguay played in the semi-finals. In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Brazil played in the semi-finals and Argentina played directly in the final. In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Morocco played in the semi-finals and Argentina became champions.

European countries have hosted the World Cup eleven times. Except for the 1958 World Cup, Europeans have been champions in all of them. Similarly, until the 2010 World Cup, no European country had won a World Cup played outside Europe. Since then, Germany has been champion in the 2014 World Cup.
It's hard for me to predict the World Cup in America, but I expect big surprises in this tournament in North America.
I do agree that USA will not have a chance to win, I get that they may want to, but that doesn't change the fact that they won't be able to. Its clear that their football team is nowhere near that level, they may had some lucky draws that allow them to go up the groups, but world cup is not a place that would allow people to end up going to finals with just luck, that's not going to happen.

I think the best thing to do right now would be just avoid wanting something like that, and just focus on other teams and fun. I understand USA fans will want to see their team go to finals, but if that prevents them from having fun watching other teams then its not going to be alright and it will hurt their fun levels a lot when they inevitably lose.

uefa has unveiled the match ball for euro 2024 in germany. its called 'Fussballliebe' (Football Love) - and contains a technology that is being used for the first time at a european championship final.
according to uefa, the ball contains 'connected ball technology', which will be used for the first time at a uefa euro round. the association speaks of the 'unprecedented insights' provided by the technology. the movement and position of the ball will be tracked more precisely, which should also benefit the decision-making processes of the var assistant...
This is the part that I wonder the most, we all remember some balls are not loved by the players all that much, some of them hated some of the balls and it doesn't fit them and not feels natural. So I am thinking, since this is a new thing, will this ball be liked by the players and make them play normally? Or would it be something that would be horrible and make the players hate it and they would all play much worse then they normally play? I am not sure, but by the looks of it the ball will have different feeling without a doubt, it doesn't look like it will be good at all.

I believe that we are going to have some sort of situation that has to be changing like some alternative ball, a normal regular ball, you can paint the outside similar, but have that alternative ready. Why? Because these are not players who like toe b tested and not really hate the ball the yare given, if the ball is terrible and hated by everyone, players could riot about it and ask for a change.

Just arriving in France and carrying out a training session before the Euro 2024 qualifying match, Camavinga suffered a knee injury after colliding with Ousmane Dembele. It is clear that this news is very detrimental to Real Madrid, which needs Camavinga's role to stabilize the midfield and it is reported that Camavinga has returned to Madrid to carry out tests and receive treatment.

This is why sometimes international breaks always take their toll and for the team that is disadvantaged it will certainly be a deep loss for the squad. It looks like we won't see Camavinga playing for Real Madrid in the next match and we hope that Tchouameni, who has previously been injured, will recover quickly at the right time and replace Camavinga.

Holy Shiiiiitt!!

This ain't no good news for Real Madrid, they'll be without another proper defensive midfielder who's responsible for shielding the defenders or defense.
Having Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouameni Aurelien absent will cause head ache for Carlo Ancellotti when making selections. Daniel Ceballos who can fill up for em too having same Injury conditions.

They don't too much difficult fixtures coming up though, Cadiz and then Napoli, but I'm sure they'll concede goals if these players are absent. They'll be forced to use either of Toni Kroos or Frederico Valverde to come up in midfied and replace either of these players. Arda Guler should also get his chances of playing since some players ahead of him in the selection other are absent. I think, this a good timing to showcase what he's got!
To be fair, it is the best that they could hope for from a position. They have plenty of positions that they are lacking, and it's clear that they do need a player that would be a lot different in a position. Camavinga is a midfielder and Real Madrid has a ton of midfielders, from modric and kroos to jude to valverde to tchouameni, they have 5 players there if they want them to play at midfield, so losing camavinga will not be an issue for them. If they lost a goalkeeper for example, that would be hard because they already lost one, and losing another would mean that they would not be ready for what's to come.

Or maybe right back, carvajal is sort of backup-less in his position and that would be hard for them. If that team must lose a player then I would say that midfield is the place to lose that player on, plus they had that young kid as well, who is also injured but not really, I think the yare going to be fine without a worry for sure it's not going to be a big deal.

Rudi Garcia has been sacked, they called back Mazzarri after 10 years.

Conte is rumored to have refused them, twice.
Well, it was the right decision to fire Rudi Garcia but isn't there another better option for Napoli's new coach? considering that they really need a coach who is very experienced in winning titles to get through this season. Walter Mazzarri was their previous coach and now he has returned after more than 10 years and I think this is an immature decision from Napoli. The last time Walter Mazzarri coached Cagliari was in the 21/22 season and there is no other good record apart from having coached Inter in the 13/14 season. I feel that Napoli will not be able to find their goal this season and they are unlikely to be able to survive the Scudetto competition.
Wow. So quickly and decisively, But is it the right choice? In June this year, Luciano Spallettti parted ways with Napoli. A breakup leaves many regrets because they are at the peak of fame. Currently, Garcia and his students are ranked 4th in Serie A with 21 points after 12 matches, 10 points behind leading team Inter. A difficult person like Aurelio De Laurentiis cannot accept this. He then decided to fire Rudi Garcia as head coach. And Welcome back, Mazzarri, but Mazzarri will be the temporary replacement before Napoli finds a more suitable coach next season. Even though he is only temporary, the question is whether Mazzarri has enough courage to withstand pressure from President De Laurentiis. De Laurentiis' hot-tempered nature always makes unexpected dismissal decisions.
I would say it was the right decision not just because of the results but because he had a clash with the team, the chemistry was just not there and when that is the situation you can fire even the first place teams manager. I mean we should also look at the fact that they fired the manager that won them the title, so not like it would be based on success for them, it has to be a bit about the owner as well I suppose, he has to like the manager and if the manager is not following his orders then even wins do not save their seat.

I think Mazzari will not be permeant deal though, I think they are going to get someone else and hired him for temporarily checking the team, by this summer I think they will find someone else and hire that person for next year, but it is November, most of the managers are already at a team, and there are very few people who could take over and still be good, which is why they probably got the best they could get at the moment.

Basically we still have some mathematical calculations left, but in the end it all depends on the games that will be played. The ones who are going up are already decided, and if we ignore the others, the ones who have a chance, will fight to the last minute, to the last whistle of the game. We are going to definitely see games that will be fun to watch, it is going to end up being great.

I understand that we are not going to see it be that difficult at times, like some teams that need a win may end up losing terribly, they are behind for a reason. For example Wales, good team, but they are not qualifying right now because of a reason, they are not first or second for a reason, so they should play all game as hard as they can to win, but if they lose, that may not be a shock neither. That type of thing happens all the time, and we need to realize that it's either going to be an incredible win, or an expected loss from them when the game ends.
