121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 26, 2023, 05:27:03 PM
-snip-

Finally I can say that Real Madrid has given up on Spanish Laliga this season, they want to focus more on their game against Manchester City in the Champions league.Gerona is leading by 4:1 already and I don't see Madrid ever coming back in this game even as they keep possessing the ball more than the home team.
Valentin Castellanos is the star man in this match tonight because all the four goals of Gerona came from him and he may end up scoring the fifth goal before the end of the match, watch a game for Real Madrid tonight who ever expected the game to end like this after the bookmarkers said Madrid is the favourite to win.
Indeed, it looks like Real Madrid don't want to continue La Liga title race because also they are far behind Barcelona. Yeah is expected they should be able to focus on the Champions League, because their opponents are really tough at there, but loss against Girona was quite worrying. They conceded four score although Real Madrid also can get two score, I'm afraid Haaland can do it too. Yes Castellanos, this man is awesome, although he is on loan from New York City, but he is giving his best for Girona.

Madrid have lost two of their last five matches. If Barcelona win their next match, they will move 14 points clear of Real Madrid. And closing this point gap is impossible for Real Madrid. Ancelotti has no interest in this season's La Liga title. He realizes he cannot break Barcelona's dominance in La Liga this season. And so Real Madrid aims to perform well in Copa del Rey and Champions League. Let's see if the team can win the Copa del Rey and Champions League titles.

Aston Villa's success in beating Fulham gave Unai Emery a good success, because the victory in the match against Fulham became Aston Villa's 10th match without defeat. Honestly, it's a really great achievement and if I consider what Aston Villa is capable of on paper, at least it's difficult for Aston Villa to continue to improve its position.

Because previously, Aston Villa threatened to be in the relegation zone but the right move was Aston Villa to fire Gerrard and replace him with Unai Emery. Who would have thought, at the beginning of the season Aston Villa was so close to the relegation zone, but currently Aston Villa is in fifth place in the Premier League standings. Shocked

Watching this match I felt that Fulham had no intention or desire to win this match. They played this match to admit defeat. Fulham had just one shot in the entire match. And that too was not on target. Fulham's defensive game I don't know. They should have tried to attack. Then maybe they would have been able to score and earn points. Fulham made a few attacks but were held up each time by Aston Villa's defenders.

Today 36th Match of Indian Premier League has already started.Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders both teams came to the field to play.Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl.Kolkata Knight Riders now came to bat.They scored 68 runs in 7 overs.  Kolkata Knight Riders have not lost any wicket till now. It seems that Kolkata Knight Riders can score good runs. But if Kolkata Knight Riders can keep the wickets and stay on the field then they can score like 180 runs in the match. And if the strong wickets go away then Kolkata  Knight Riders cannot score so many runs.
The Kolkata team collected 126 runs in 14 overs. Jason Roy batted brilliantly. Narayan Jagadeesan scored 27 runs, but he cost 29 balls. I am surprised that an opener is batting at a strike rate below 100 in a platform like IPL. We don't expect such stupid batting from an opener. Even then it looks like Kolkata may be able to give a target of more than 200 today. 2 Even I guess Kolkata will be able to give a target of 220-230. Nitish Rana and Iyer are now at the crease. If this pair is tall, it will not be difficult for Kolkata to give a big target.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and opted to bowl first. Unfortunately, their decision did not turn out as promised. Their bowling and ground fielding has been poor so far. The team seemed quite disappointing in the field overall. But, Kolkata Knight Riders' hard-hitting tactics certainly worked in their favor, and possibly help them to set a target of over 200 runs. Kolkata should definitely be proud of their batting order's performance, but the question remains whether their bowlers can perform as well as their batters did today?
edit: back to back wickets can restrict KKR under 200
Jason Roy and Nitish Rana's batting impressed me. Jagadeesan and Iyer's batting at the same time was very boring. Iyer was able to collect 31 runs off 26 balls. The team expects better innings from an experienced batsman like Iyer. I would have been happy if Iyer had returned to the dressing room with 31 off 20 balls.
However, Kolkata managed to collect 200 runs in 20 overs. Kolkata has given a target of 201 runs. It wasn't a bad collection. However, the performance of the Kolkata bowlers is very poor. Kolkata's bowlers will definitely need to perform well today if they want to win against Bengaluru's experienced batting line-up.
It is still not possible to predict which team will win. Although the collection of 200 runs is a good enough collection. However, despite giving more than a target of 200 runs, the Kolkata team lost the match this season. The performance of their bowlers is very poor. And so even after giving a target of 201 runs, the Kolkata team is not safe. But if the Kolkata bowlers can pick up the wickets of Kohli and du Plessis within the 6 overs of the powerplay, Kolkata's chances of winning will increase.

Royal Challengers Bangalore collected 32 runs in 3 overs. Kohli is unbeaten with 14 runs off 8 balls. And du Plessis returned to the dressing room with 17 runs off 7 balls.

Kolkata's chances of victory seem slim. Bengaluru collected 115 runs in 12 overs. Virat Kohli is still at the crease. Kohli is still unbeaten with 54 runs from 36 balls. I don't see any chance for Kolkata to win if Kohli doesn't pick up his wicket. The Bengaluru team now needs 86 runs from 48 balls. It is not a difficult task. The Bengaluru team can easily collect 80 runs in 8 overs if they survive at the crease.

I have seen many people saying, that Juventus and AS Roma are the two big teams in the Europa League now and that they are favorites to win the competition, but i don't really agree with that. Looking only at the current value of the squads, Bayer Leverkusen has the highest value, very close before Juventus, but then AS Roma and also Sevilla are far behind that.
Yes, Roma has a very experienced coach with Jose Mourinho but to be honest he never really was a coach that let his team play good and attractive football. They are always playing with a big aggression and defensively. Of course this could work against Leverkusen because they have a team of young and very talented players that could be intimidated by a lot of aggression.
Everyone has an equal chance, I can not single out a clear favorite among these teams. Defensive football will not only come from Roma but also Juventus will often follow this tactic. If we look at the experience of the teams, then I can assume that Sevilla and Roma have more chances in this regard, but Bayer are in good shape now, so it could be anything in these semi-finals.

All four teams in the semi-finals are strong. It is impossible to predict which two teams will qualify for the finals. Sevilla beat Manchester United to qualify for the semi-finals. So even if the Juventus team is strong, they cannot underestimate the Sevilla team. On the other hand, Mourinho will try his best to bring the Roma team another title. The Europa League title is now Roma's main target. I want to see Sevilla and Roma in the final.

I think Newcastle is predictable. They are solid and can beat every single team from the Premier League at any time. Or at least if they tie the game they are always good enough to steal at least two points. I think they have developed very well and deserve the rank they currently have.

Newcastle has lost just 4 out of 31 matches. This is truly commendable. Manchester United has lost 7 and Tottenham has lost 11 matches. And these two teams are Newcastle's main rivals for Champions League qualification. Compared to them, Newcastle's performance is quite stable. The Newcastle team is playing very well. And if this team is able to qualify for the Champions League then I think they will form a stronger team next season. Due to this, Newcastle Club can now be considered the richest club in the Premier League.

As for the question of coaches, honestly, I see that the problem is in the direction of PSG, which makes good coaches not accept going to train PSG, days ago I read a rumor that Zidane prefers to go to Juventus than to PSG. zidane who lives in france, prefers to leave a team that would give him a much better salary and that is also in france, but zidane prefers juventus, which is a team that is in italy and does not have the same great financial resources that PSG has, I think the reason is simple> PSG want immediate results, they want to win the champions league immediately
Zidane looks to be a good choice for PSG but he does not want work for them. Does Zidane want to see some annoying star players to be sold first then he will take that position?
It sounds a good plan for him as handling conflicts with star players is very headache and Zidane's biggest target is the coach position of France. With too high salary for Neymar, it's hard for PSG to find a club which is ready to buy the player and satisfy his salary demand.

Personally I think Zidane doesn't want to coach PSG. And if the PSG management is able to convince Zidane to take over as coach, we could see a lot of changes within PSG's squad. Zidane has his own squad. PSG has proved that it is not possible to maintain the performance of the team with a lot of star players. They need experienced coaches. And the coach should be given full freedom. Only then will PSG's overall condition improve, I believe.

About Osimhen, we got rumors the past winter.
He already could have a deal to join the Premier League with Chelsea, also the coach of Napoli was talking about to joining them...
We will see.
PSG is ready beat chelsea. I don't even think chelsea will be wanna spending more than 100 millions for him. PSG already prepared 133 millions. Chelsea is also having problem with FFP when it was buying so many players in winter.

Chelsea needs to sell so many players before it will able to create an offer for osimhen. As far as i remember that if chelsea has been making a deal with nkuku from lipzig.
Nkuku will be coming next season. It's very hard to say if chelsea really needs osimhen now caused by chelsea already got a striker.
Manchester united is also still monitoring the situation that is still happening with osimhen.,

coinlocket$, It doesn’t matter if he is not getting any offers from other clubs or not. He really should not join Chelsea. There are other leagues that will be a better choice for him right now. and if he is not getting any other choices, I believe he should stay where he is right now. Moving to Chelsea will be a mistake for him in my opinion. Because I don’t think Chelsea will be doing better in the recent future.

Fiorentina were doing well and then suddenly started to lose form, which is very normal.After such a performance, the players must be getting tired.It was a pity for them that they were defeated away from home despite scoring 2 goals in 13 minutes in the first half.In the meeting of two mid-table teams without a goal, it was the hosts monza who won.I think it is a great success that they won the match 3-2 despite going 2-0 down.
Fiorentina was performing inconsistent against monza. Two goals have been coming from fiorentina's players itself. I meant unnecessary foul was giving monza a penalty that can be successfully executed by monza. Fiorentina was also losing the first goal caused by it's own goal by the player of club itself. It's very important point for monza. Monza seems far away from the relegation zone at this moment. It's likely that fiorentina will continue its bad trend. Im so glad that monza was winning the game even though it doesn't dominate the ball possessions against fiorentina.
Three points are really important for the clubs that placed below top 10. It's caused by the chance to go to the relegation zone is quite big for these clubs. Fiorentina must have to accept the loose against a team that has placed below it.

Glad to see that monza was not missing the points by playing at home. Monza will be facing spezia. This can become easy points as long as monza will perform so well like when it was against fiorentina.

Fiorentina is going to finish as a mid table team. They are not finishing in the top six. At the same time, they are not also finishing behind position 11/12 as well. As you said, they had to be in performing well. But recently they have dropped in terms of form. I don’t see them finishing anywhere above the eighth position.

Monza was able to get a good win against Fiorentina. Getting all three points was important for them to stay where they are.

If so, do you want bitcoin to disappear? Bitcoin is bringing great benefits to us, so there is no reason why we want it to disappear. Bitcoin has given me financial freedom, so I'm grateful for that, and I hope it stays with us forever. The people who want bitcoin to disappear are the people who lost their investment in bitcoin and they are blaming bitcoin, or people who hate it because they feel like they missed it.
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any benefit of bitcoin to the government? on: April 22, 2023, 04:52:55 AM
Apart from tax, bitcoin doesn't give any benefit to the government, if it were in their favor, they would have accepted and allowed people to use it a long time ago. Government is a centralized system, corrupt, greedy and doing evil things while bitcoin is transparent and decentralized.
That's completely against them, so it won't work on them at all.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's Volatility Problem on: April 21, 2023, 05:16:52 AM
That's your problem, not ours, as most of us use bitcoin as an investment rather than a means of payment. Look at its positive side instead of digging through its limitations because there is no such thing as perfect in this world. If volatile bitcoin is not suitable as a means of payment then don't use it for that purpose, while fiat is doing a great job at it.
133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I still believe I am on the right path on: April 21, 2023, 05:13:41 AM
The truth is that Bitcoin has been consistently bullish over the past 14 years and other cryptocurrencies have not. Perhaps beliefs about overnight wealth need a lasting change. Only Bitcoin is the crypto with the most sustainable increase over time. Don't worry too much about discount periods, see them as buying opportunities.
Bitcoin may be technologically outdated, but the core value and original meaning of an inflation-resistant currency is the most important factor for us to believe.

Disagree with this statement, what about cryptocurrencies like Ethereum? It was created in 2015, and so far, it is also an impressive growth cryptocurrency and even today, it is giving higher returns than bitcoin. If bitcoin can rally from $3k to $69k in 2021, ETH can rise from 2018 lows of $80 to nearly $5k. It outperforms bitcoin in terms of profitability.

One more thing, bitcoin technology is not old, not outdated. Simply because it has never been hacked but with altcoins most have been hacked a few times so I don't consider altcoins a technology.
134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why does It takes time for market to be bull on: April 21, 2023, 05:04:11 AM
Bitcoin's free market is completely different from something as easily manipulated as stocks. 

Do you mean bitcoin is not being manipulated, and stocks are being manipulated more? LOL, we invest in bitcoin and we want it to be good, there's nothing wrong with that. But there is no need to exaggerate and lie so blatantly. Bitcoin is the most manipulative market I know compared to other financial markets. It's a free, unregulated market, so manipulation is inevitable.
135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin price control by human agents or electronic technology? on: April 20, 2023, 03:07:40 AM
Bitcoin is a decentralized asset, so no one can control the price, and no one can control the bitcoin network, it all depends on our supply and demand. But the bitcoin price can still be manipulated in the short term by people with a lot of money, and manipulation occurs in most financial markets, not just bitcoin.
136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Satoshi is eventually ID by the government on: April 20, 2023, 03:02:37 AM
A friend of mine was of the opinion that the government cannot put an end to Bitcoin because it unfortunately cannot be traced to a particular person or organization which could be sued for bringing about the currency or Blockchain.
If this is true does it mean that the identification of Satoshi as a person or organization will pose a treat to the existence of Bitcoin or otherwise

Bitcoin is managed by the whole community and not Satoshi, who controls it, so if he is found and arrested by the government, then bitcoins will be affected, but they still cannot stop or get rid of bitcoins. I believe he decided to remain anonymous for his own safety and has nothing to do with bitcoin, as no one manages it.
137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advise to a friend on: April 20, 2023, 02:57:14 AM
Ordinarily, I don't like asking questions like this because I feel they're personal questions that should be answered by myself alone but it has been on my mind for a very long time and I have not gotten a solution for it.

I have a friend that works hard. He does two jobs and he makes a lot of money. Most of his money is in a savings bank account where he saves them. He doesn't have any use for it right now so the money is just sitting pretty in that account. Lately, I've been having the urge to advise him to buy Bitcoin with like 40% of his savings and HODL. Holding won't be an issue for him because he has the patience of an old man. He has left the savings in his account for over two years without touching it. Now imagine him transferring that energy to Bitcoin.

The problem is, someone has convinced him to buy altcoins before now, I think in late 2021 or thereabout. He bought three different altcoins for about $500 and now two out of the three coins he bought are worthless. one is worth about $0.045. The price ain't the issue, the issue is these coins are not like Bitcoin that will rise again.
I have explained all he needs to know about Bitcoin to him and he understands. He understands how Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, the risk, and the patience involved.
He buys into the idea but I'm still having doubts. I don't want to look like a fraud when things don't work out. I mean, I can speculate about the market all I want, but I can't be sure what tomorrow brings.

So should I go ahead and advise him to buy Bitcoin or I should leave him to come to me himself? Because he will buy it if I ask him to.


If you can't be sure what will happen tomorrow, then it's best not to give him advice. If unfortunately, the market gets dumped again and he starts dumping in a panic, then he will blame you, and it's really your fault because you are the one who told him to buy bitcoins. Why not let him make the decision? No need to push him.
138  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is going down. on: April 20, 2023, 02:53:44 AM
I agree that what is happening is not a real bull run, this is a short term bull run, and bitcoin could still correct below $20k anytime. But if I say that this is not the time to buy bitcoins, I disagree entirely. No one can be sure bitcoin will drop again, it's all just your baseless prediction. And if compared to the old ATH, the price of $30k is a very good price to accumulate bitcoins.

Even the strongest teams in the world have bad days sometimes and they lose some points but still Arsenal is the first team in the premier league which is a good reason to say they were performing well enough during this season however they were unlucky against West Ham because of Saka missing a penalty kick.
I honestly wouldn't pin down on Saka's penalty mistake. It happens in penalty and it can be missed sometimes. We also could have tried to defend proper and avoid conceding those goals? It's not an individual mistake, it's a team one and everyone should be held responsible. It was an unlucky day for us but we can't change the result now. We can only do better in next fixtures and make the most out of it now.

I don't doubt that Arsenal will lose this match. Arsenal had 72% ball possession in this match. There is no doubt that Arsenal dominated the match. They played very well. But unfortunately, even then they could not get full points. I would say it was their bad luck. Because they were not able to score even with the chance of a penalty. Losing points like this will make the Premier League title uncertain for Arsenal. If Arsenal does not win their next match against Manchester City then Arsenal will not win the title this season.

Srilanka destroyed Ireland in the first test match. Getting defeated by an innings and 200 odd runs shows how amature this team is against a good test playing team.
The won't survive if they play against the big 4. The first match was a good experience for them as they now know how to play against Srilanka on their home ground. I am not expecting much from them in the second test match.
Now I have a feeling that Ireland was given test status before they were ready for it. Back in 2019, both Ireland and Afghanistan were elevated to full member status by the ICC. Since then both the teams have played only 3-4 test matches and in each cases they were handed with heavy defeats. They simply can't compete against teams who have decades of experience with test cricket. Previously the ICC had a competition called Intercontinental Cup, which prepared Associate nations for the longer version of the game. This was discontinued many years ago. And that was a setback for many of these smaller teams.
The performance of Ireland's batsmen has been erratic. Ireland's performance in the Test match against Bangladesh was not bad. However, Ireland was badly beaten by Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won by innings and 280 runs. The Ireland team is still not fully prepared for the Test format. The team does not have enough experienced players. It is difficult to perform well in the Test format without experienced players. Ireland's batting line-up must be strengthened if they want to do well in the Test format. However, performing regularly in Test matches may make Ireland's overall gameplay stronger. At the same time, the players will become experienced.
It is natural that the Ireland team will lose with the Sri Lankan team. But if they had performed a little better, the cricketing world would have looked at them differently. As they achieved praise by playing against Bangladesh. Being new to test cricket, I won't be negative towards them. Moreover in cricket they are not in a good position in any format. In that perceptive, Sri Lanka is a reliable team with whom it is normal to lose. But If the Ireland team continues to try at one stage they can do better in Test cricket.

It was already predicted that Ireland would lose this match. But I expected a bit better batting from Ireland. Because I saw the performance of the second innings of the Ireland team against Bangladesh. Almost every batsman in the team managed to play well enough. I hoped that the team would be able to play well against Sri Lanka. But due to their poor batting, they conceded a humiliating defeat by an innings and 280 runs. Ireland batsmen need to be more patient.
