Not much, they will just try to win more match and collect points and qualify for the Champions League next season again. I don't think Juventus can win the title this season because the difference in points with Inter is quite a lot. Getting into the top 4 or at least ending the season in 3rd place would make sense for Juventus.
Juventus will win the title if they do some amazing matches in rest of season and if their opponents above lose too many points. With so many conditions that are all difficult to occur and more difficult to see they occur together, it is very impossible for Juventus to win Scudetto. Anyway, they will have to fight at best to be qualified for the third or fourth position in Serie A.

I'm more interested in knowing what AC Milan really expects this season if not the title. They still have hope of getting him from Inter, but his good form has to improve. Milan is expected to beat Inter in the next match because this will be an important match to make their chances even better.
AC Milan and Napoli look like don't have enough components to win the trophy. Inter Milan have such but let me say, I am not Inter Milan fan. Then Inter Milan will have best resource and experience in this competition. They are not only champions but also have others (resource with better substitution, and more experience). AC Milan and Napoli have less experience and their second team, substitutions are worse than Inter Milan.

In this match I will definitely bet for PSG. PSG is a strong team with lots of stars. Although Neymar, Wijnaldum and Ramos will be absent. However, their absence will not have any effect on the team's performance. If Mbappe and Messi can play well then PSG will easily win against a team like Nice. Anyway, waiting for the match to be enjoyed.
In Ligue 1, in most matches you can pick PSG and win. In this season, they won many matches without Neymar and Messi. Those players don't have too much contributions, goals, assists for PSG so far. Other players do their job very well and bring the team to win in the end of so many matches.

Ramos and Wijnaldum don't have important positions in PSG. Only Neymar has a solid position but his contribution as said, is not too big in this season. Di Maria is a very good substitution for Neymar. Mbappe is a brightest and most important star in PSG now and in future. It is very understandable to see PSG try many times, with their best to convince Mbappe to sign a new contract. They do see future of the club belongs to Mbappe, not Neymar not Messi.

Real Madrid is one of the most favorite team presently in La Liga. Their squad are strong enough to withstand other top clubs in the League. Also, from the current performance of theirs, Madrid are likely to win the La Liga title this season. Although, they have won a trophy already this season (Super cup).
Real Madrid are on good direction to win La Liga but the season has a lot of matches ahead and despite of current good gap with other teams, Real Madrid must manage their best form in rest of the season. They have good chance, good position to win La Liga but only if they won't lose too many points.

Quote
However, Madrid have the Copa del Rey quarter finals match against Athletic Club ahead. Is an away match for them, but the game will be quiet tough. Athletic Club won't want to lose the match, because they lost the Super cup to Madrid. But despite that, I think Real Madrid are
 the favorite here.  
Both clubs don't want to lose it and they will make that match very exciting to see. Athletic will want to beat Real Madrid for sure but Real Madrid is a very big test and high mountain for them to climb.

It can be stucked because of development issues technically or it can be canceled forever because of government regulations. They can change everything with new regulations so it is bad when you decide to use a centralized platform and it is worse because that platform has yet allowed you to withdraw your Bitcoin after purchasing.

If you use centralized platforms, when you finish you business trades, withdraw your fund, coin to your non custodial wallet.

No one prohibit you to be wiser than the market. You have freedom to be like that IF you can. Unfortunately, most of us can not win against the market so it means we are not wiser than the market.

There are experienced and genius people who can be like that but I am not a person like that and many of us are not.

In addition, most of traders on the market are losers. If you want to get profit from the market, it is not mandatory to be a market winner, you just simply do good and long term investment. That is easier than trading and being a hard-core trader.

This has been a trend for Dortmund for quite a long time. They have bought so many unknown players and converted them into big stars. Haaland, Sancho, Dembele is just a few examples among many.
It is their strategy and to succeed, they need to do many things. Good scout team to find young, talented and hidden players. Good environment for young players to train, grow up and play in their squad. Good businessman to deal with other clubs for big transfers. Lastly, good replacement for players they sell at expensive price. Dortmund are doing it well but they don't get much success with titles for the club. It seems they satisfy with this strategy and second position in Bundesliga.

Quote
With this, they also make a huge profit. For example, they sold Dembele to FCB for €150M and sold Sancho to UTD for around €60M or €70M I guess.
And right now, Haaland is like a hot cake in the transfer market. From what I'm thinking, he will be sold for about at least €120M for sure.
They belong to very few clubs which can get profit from transfers but still have some achievement with titles and high positions in their leagues such as Sevilla, Atletico Madrid.

You are here since 2017 and have earned 40 merits. It is not too high number but not too bad. You are much better than other bounty hunters who can not earn a single merit. I don't check how did you earn 40 merit. If you earned it from good posts, it means there are opportunities to earn merit and rank up.

Such an experiment will still not be easy and of course it will take longer to build a team, while at the same time they want to bounce back quickly. So far Manchester United keep changing coaches and it at least makes it difficult to implement better gameplay in every match, I just hope Manchester United get the exact coach and not about star players who continue to be hunted.
Their problems belong mainly to their players. Solskajer did not solve it even sometimes he made great streaks with the team. However, the way they rely and put their belief on Pogba is something seriously wrong. If a team have to rely on a selfish player, it is something totally wrong and not good in long run. Pogba when he is happy, can carry Manchester United but don't forget that he is very careless and does not care about a whole team. What he cares about is his performance, and that's all.

Now, in Manchester United, there are more players like that, not only Pogba so I am not surprised to see their performance drops back too much.

Inter are ahead of Napoli by only 4 points, but you need to take into account that Inter played one game less, so they can potentially further increase their lead over Napoli.
Inter Milan have one more match but it does not mean 3 more points will be credited to their pocket. They have to play and fight and they might lose point. So let's assume Inter Milan have 3 points, they will have 7 points more than Napoli. In my opinion, Napoli still have chance with 7 point difference. 7 points mean just 2 or 3 bad matches and things will change a lot.

Quote
Juventus are gradually gaining form, but they need to strengthen the attack line in order to count on something more. I didn't like how they played against Milan because the Juventus attack didn't create any really dangerous moments.
Juventus will have better attacking power with Vlahovic from Fiorentina. His total goal in this season is about half of total goals Juventus have so far. This transfer might make more hate from Fiorentina fans against Juventus. They were angry when Roberto Baggio left them and moved to Juventus. Now, Vlahovic, let's see how they will react after this transfer.

Replacing koeman for Xavi is the best decision Barcelona management made and so far there have been lots of improvement. Finishing in the third or fourth place will require lots of commitment and it would mean contending with Athletico Maldrid, Sevilla and Real bettis but Barcelona can do better with xavi leadership as for good performance I will say there have been good ones but all Barcelona needs at the time is more  good finishers who would send their team work to the back of their opponents net
Really like that? I don't deny contribution and good job of Xavi so far but did Koeman do terrible job in Barcelona? I see Koeman did his job good enough. Of course, it is not good as expected or best but it is acceptable. In addition, saying the replacement is a best decision is over exaggeration and too positively thinking. Xavi might have a good future in his coach management career but now he is in early phase of this career. It is not too common to see a young successful coach like Pep. Will Xavi be able to repeat that success? Sounds very difficult, from himself and because of player quality in Barcelona now.

I agree, with Xavi the possibility of Barcelona could be much better. At least you can do it with free play, unlike when Koeman is too conventional and presses players to focus on 1 player. Here Xavi changes this style and tries to expand the movement of his players so that they always contribute to each other in building attacks.
Does Koeman require Barcelona players to focus or rely on a single player? Do you mean he requires his players to rely on Messi? Hell no, I believe. Barcelona rely on Messi in many years, even before seasons with Koeman there.

It's very difficult and sad to see Man United's football game for a few years. I followed Ronaldo's debut at Man United if Scholes, Flecter, Vidic and Ferdinand still play, it was very different. The flow of the ball and their fighting power was fantastic. Today Man United look weak, even the flow of possession looks bad. Even today Man United lose to Man City for game.
Ronaldo is not maximal because he doesn't get the ball well, even I see he has to help defend. The connections between Man United's current players still don't look solid, so they often rush and make unnecessary mistakes.
It's not all responsibility of Ronaldo. He joined them since the summer and their issues are not new and not only exist in this season. Ronaldo came and brought more goals for Manchester United but he makes their defense ability down because he does not try to hunt for ball like other players.

So with Ronaldo in a team, you must provide him good passes, more balls and he might score goals for you. However, the disadvantage is you will have to allocate more tasks for other players to fight against counter attack of opponent. Ronaldo is useless in this task. His appearance probably bring conflicts and break down a whole team. However, if other players fail to play together, and connect with each other, it is not all belong to Ronaldo effect.

How lucky they are but how many days or months do they mine that block with a reward?
It's not good strategy to do solo mining nowadays and if a miner has to pay electricity bill. Chance to find a block by solo mining is very low, almost impossible. So it most cases and many blocks, a solo miner will end with failure but still has to pay bill for electricity that is painful.

Quote
I can't afford to solo mine due to the high Electricity rate compared to the other miners who mine solo with hydropower.

Maybe that users who mine solo with this hashrate have free electricity If I have the same thing I can stay solo mining.
It's only applicable if electricity is free and if ASIC is free too. It is useless and risky to buy an ASIC and do solo mining, even with free electricity. How long will it take to get initial capital for an ASIC back with solo mining? Months or years?

It's good that Manchester City didn't win the match yesterday, let's just say - it will be a cold shower for them, so that they don't become arrogant, and start playing at their maximum again. They beat Chelsea, widened the gap and perhaps decided that the championship was already in their pocket. They need to play all the games for the win, I think that Guardila will do just that, this is his trick.
Even so, they still have big advantage than Liverpool so they are still controlling the race. Liverpool now only can do their best and hope for more disappointed results from Manchester City. It is a very big challenge for Liverpool and Klopp to beat Manchester City and Pep in this race. About Pep, I agree with you. He is very perfection-obsessed man.

Manchester City finally stumbled this week and this helped Liverpool a lot. I was expecting Manchester City to defeat Southampton but they got a surprising 1-1 draw. Southampton scored a very early goal and kept it for a very long time. Manchester City equalized it but couldn't score the second one. By this result, Manchester City couldn't defeat them in both games in the league this season. And Liverpool benefited from their point loss like defeating Crystal Palace by 3-1 away. Now the gap is nine points and Liverpool can make it six if they win their absent game.
Liverpool were given a chance from Manchester City and took it well but they are still far from Manchester City. The less point difference, the better so it is true to say they have a better position in the race with Manchester City now rather than weeks ago.

However, more efforts from Liverpool must be done and more lost games from Manchester City must occur. Let's see how two teams will do in coming months. I wish that we will have a tight competition between Manchester City and Liverpool because I see Liverpool are moving to very end seasons with this squad.
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: January 24, 2022, 05:36:42 PM
Barcelona managed to get a goal at 84th minutes. Though Alaves is at 19th place, it really made Barcelona tough to score a goal in 1st 83 minutes. Yes Barcelona is keeping up its best performances in recent matches and yes they proved to be worth staying in top 5 in the table. It was suprising to see Elche scoring 2 goals against Real Madrid and that too they were the first to shoot 2 goals and then Real Madrid managed to score 2 goals to draw the match. So those who are after 10th place in the table are coming back with their best performances. Need to closely watch it.
With Barcelona now, it is not matter how impressive or difficult they can win. The matter for them is achieving as many wins as possible in order to end in top 4 of La Liga and be qualified for Champions League in the next season. If they can achieve it, their finance will get a good budget next season which will prevent their financial collapse and also help their process to rebuild their team.

Xavi is doing his great job and the El Classico with Real Madrid shows that Barcelona still can play at top level in their best matches. Nevertheless, they must maintain it in more matches because net result is better than one sudden excellent match among bunches of bad matches.
2156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: January 24, 2022, 05:22:36 PM
Now hear me out, Manchester United is in fourth place with 38 points, and they don't really seem to advance any further than the fourth place because there is a huge point difference between the teams above them.
Good for now but it is temporary position and in recent matches, Manchester United are fluctuating between lose and win that is not good to be honest.

Quote
But the problem is they cannot afford to lose matches from now on because that team in fifth place has 37 points.
But on the positive side, Manchester United have played 1 less match.
Don't forget about Tottenham and Manchester United have worse condition with internal bonds amongst their players as well as players and coach. It is not helpful and healthy in long run. They should improve it as soon as possible because if they give it more time to explode and become worse, they will harvest bad results in later of the season.

Quote
So if they keep winning they can easily hold the fourth position. And there is no question about them improving their game than before. Now they are producing much better results. But I have to say I expected more from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Point is whether they will be able to maintain their performance and keep wining and get better net results than other clubs and end in top 4? If they don't have big improvement, I don't see how they will achieve it.

There are sales tax in some projects so if you don't do careful research and only look at price difference and make arbitraging trades, if you are trapped with sales tax, you will get loss by arbitraging after sales tax reduction.

People can do arbitraging between platforms, exchanges or cross chains. It is more useful with not too small or not too big volume. Because with big volume, difference from arbitraging is not significant enough. While if trading volume is too small, you will make big change in price with your buy or sell orders.

I didn’t knew people were trying to use Roobet art competition as a way to earn free merits, because if that’s the case sooner or later merit sources will realise this and stop meriting hence members should stop doing it. Lastly Roobet competitions are for fun and for the rewards they give, hence if one try’s to constantly game it then they’ll be blacklisted by merit sources so my 2cents don’t try to game it.
If they can make great arts, they deserve merits for their works. If they just make shit posts and receive merits, it can be matter of merit compromise that is easily detected.

Roobet run many art (digital or hand-made) and I watched those threads sometimes. Frankly there are participants with great arts and I don't think any issue with their merited arts. I can miss something people are discussing here but in the past, I did not see merit abuse in Roobet art contests.
2159  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Banks, Exchanges and your Privacy on: January 22, 2022, 02:04:33 PM
The idea here now is that there are exchanges that are strictly Peer 2 Peer like Remitano, Wazirx, Binance p2p, Paxful, local coinswap and Hodl Hodl which are globally recognized and  reliable p2p.
When you talk about peer to peer tradings, you are responsible for your trades. Platforms can give you some layers of protection but in the end you are the one will have very last clicks to finish your trades. Crypto transactions are irreversible so if you click and release your Bitcoin, complete your trade, it's done and you can not reverse transactions. Exchanges can not reverse transactions for you.

So if you are scammed, you will have extremely chance to get your money back. Exchanges can only ask your trade partners to resolve such trades. But it is not a guarantee that trade partners will resolve it. You know they are scammers and will withdraw money so fast after they successfully scam you.

I hope is that Man United win. After winning at Brentfrod they were certainly more confident today. Rangnick has dared to make the bold decision to replace Ronaldo. The right decision even if it disappointed Ronaldo. Ronaldo should be professional for the benefit of the team. If they manage to win of course they will get into the top four because they have a two-point gap with Westham. I hope they can win 2-0.
Since when winning Brentford can be a big achievement for Manchester United? They are now in situation as same as of Arsenal one or two seasons ago. Problems with them are lack of a coach who can control players and their players have too high ego and selfish. It does not show only in this season but after the transfer of Pogba. They tried to put their belief on Pogba and tried to be patiently with them. It brings so many adverse effect for the whole club. I believe they should not rely on Pogba and see now he is no longer young and can not grow up more. His contribution does not meet what the club pay for from patience to salary.

It looks like Everton will follow Watford's poor results in the near future, both teams seem to have no ability to survive in the EPL this season. I realize Everton have just sacked Benitez but Everton still needs time to get back to their best, with this drastic drop in performance it will be even more difficult for Everton to recover. although at the moment the opponents they face are Aston Villa, but they are very different now where Aston Villa after signing Gerrard has undergone a very positive change.
Everton falls down too much and they are good reminder for clubs with one or two successful seasons and want to bet with expensive transfers and high salary for star players. Just one or two failed seasons, star players will leave and finance of club will be on verge of break down.

There is rumor that Everton want to sign with Rooney but in my opinion, it is bad choice for them and Rooney too. Rooney need more time to be an experienced and good coach. Everton need a good coach to help them get out of serious crisis. Things in Everton are different than in Arsenal when they tried to believe in Arteta. Arsenal were out of top clubs but did not fall into delegation area like Everton.
