haha, Virat Kohli scored 9 and 5 runs in the first two matches. If Virat Kohli had scored more than 30 in these two matches, India would have been able to win. But Virat Kohli played very badly. The last match was not important for Bangladesh. Because they are series winners. It was important for India. Because being whitewashed against Bangladesh is very shameful for them.

Virat Kohli is a legend no doubt. He is an amazing player. But now he is not able to perform well for the needs of the team. I guess India management will look for Virat Kohli's replacement very soon.
Virat Kohli has poor run in last few years which is surely have bad impact on him, but now things are improving, and he is trying his best for having better results in coming months as India is now preparing for their home World Cup matches but still it's not easy because now they have a good number of youths and these all are doing good job which is surely good encouragement for them and with this hopefully they will be able to have good unit of players those will be able to have winning combination for them.

But, with this performance now Kohli can feel good and this could be positive development for the Indian team and Kohli both because with this century now many mouths are already shut and Kohli can look into future without any problem but still he needs to have some more improvement because playing at home in big event is surely never been easy for them.

I think at this point thirty million dollars is a lot for him as he has aged quite a bit. Although I think Manuel Neuer has left his golden days in the past. But I agree that injury has been a significant setback to his career at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Sven Ulreich is not a suitable replacement for Neuer since he is not that good. I personally think that Bayern Munich should buy other players other than Ter Stegen. I think they should offer younger players.
With the quality that ter stegen had i think 30 mil is too low.

Even if ter stegen want to back to germany i doubt that barcelona would let him go despite there is a competition , stegen needed to get through a long journey at the rest of the barcelona season. Morocco goalkeeper yassin bounou who currently at the world cup and doing excellent job might steal the bayern attention , would be a perfect replacement.
Right now, with the sudden problem of goalkeeper for the Bayern Munich Yassin Bounou is the best choice for them because he is at Sevilla and having not more than 15 Million Price which is much better than Stegen who is currently at the Barcelona, and they will not allow him for this move and things are not good for the Bayern Munich as they are going to face PSG in coming month, and he can do better in Bundesliga as well where they are already at the top and have chance to stay at their current spot for long time even until end of the season.

Stegen is in Barcelona for many years and giving his best which is keeping alive his chances for the better performance and his price is also high even not problem for the club like Bayern Munich but surely with current form and availability most chances they will for the Yassin Bounou which is also at his best in last few weeks.

Such a dramatic finish for England!

First Kane's missing a penalty and later Rashford's missing the target by a slight margin by a free-kick...  England could have really carried this match to extra time. I still can't believe how Kane used the second penalty that much badly. He could have kicked the ball a little more gently like he did on his first penalty. Lloris was already not going to save that penalty anyway. I can't blame Rashford for not scoring the free-kick because it wasn't a bad shot. Maybe England should have used the same tactic Netherlands did against Argentina.

Congrats to France on this hard-fought victory!
If a team like England which have quality and skilled players lost chances like this surely they never deserve place into last four with the game which England lost today against France they dissevered to be at the top but missing changes and their poor finishing give them lost and now again they have to wait for four years for their next destination.

But, this was their best side for having spot into final which they lost things looking more difficult for them in future and their desired for the cup is surely going to be fettered even quality players like Kane and Rashford lost their golden chances, but this can happen in pressure games like these all about luck and match day performance so cognates to France and all other semifinalist teams for their spots.

The same criticism has also been felt by other players before the Ronaldo Era, fans always want something more for players who are considered to have better skills than other players. When the player can't live up to the fans' expectations, the criticism will come at him relentlessly.
Ronaldo can't play as well as he did when he was young, the age factor has made some appearances decline. I admit, the coach didn't include Ronaldo in the main squad when Portugal beat switzerland because his contribution was so lacking. The coach does not want conflict in the team, he prefers other reasons that are realistic than telling the public the truth.
Yes, I remember how many people called Rooney a fat boar in the last years of his big career. Not too respectful  Grin
But I think that this problem will come to naught, because after the World Cup, Ronaldo will either immediately end his career in the national team or play a little more (in the European Championship qualifiers) and end it a little later. And fanboys will find a new reason/victim for indignation.
A disappointing end for few players into World Cup with Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo both lost their respective matches and now out of the competition with the news around working Neymar is also thinking to quite national team after this defeat against Croatia Tite already resigned with Portugal lost against Morocco is also having big impact on their future with most chances we will have few changes in this team as well because they were not good and Cristiano Ronaldo's dream is also shattered.

With this all now things are completely changed because Neymar is back to PSG, and he is going to start again soon because now his next destination is Champions League title for his team PSG and Ronaldo is looking for his new home as things are not looking positive for him after having worst exit from Manchester United few weeks ago.

Something I recently learned, and something that has been a trouble for me for a long time. Sometimes, you should not care and let go. I know this sounds like the worst type of "investment" idea out there in the whole world, and definitely not something that I support doing in excess. However, we deal with money problems for so long that, someone I care about so much had some health problems and I realized we do not have too much time in this world.

So, spending less and trying to earn more, all of that goes to garbage can some days. I realized, in order to have a bit of fun, you should spend carelessly for just a short period of time. What this does is prevent you from going crazy and stop all together, save for 11 months, go crazy for 1 month, and keep doing that every year so that you would have something to look forward to.

For now yes it won't because there are so many countries who disallow it but who knows in the future maybe they will change their minds and start to realize that they should have allowed btc long time ago because it had some benefits which can help them or their people. There are countries who currently accepts btc as an asset an not as a currency but this is better than totally banning it. Many of us just treat btc as an asset anyway.

I think that's because they find btc too valuable to be spent away. Btc transaction fees can sometimes rise and then the transaction can sometimes be slow. This can be one of the reason on why they don't like to use btc as a currency.

For now, there is an improvement in Lazio's performance this season. They have become one of the biggest contenders of top 4. Immobile is also continuing to show a really good performance. Maybe he is getting old on one hand - 32 years old. However this doesn't affect his performance badly yet. He is one of the numbered strikers in this way. His contribution is still important for the team to be successful. Maybe he hasn't scored like at least the half of the total goals Lazio have scored in the league so far. But his stats are good enough comparing to the number of matches he has played.

Lazio's job is still very difficult of course. There are many other teams fighting for a spot in the Champions League. Lazio should just make a difference by being more successful in big matches. So far they haven't been like that in those matches.
We have five top teams which have good performance and can go for the top four spots with two are on decline even they were also on good run but sadly before break they lost their momentum and now struggling badly but now how things will go into next phase of the season nothing is clear because we have few issues with Juventus and most chances Inter will be improved in their performance for the chance of better spot even right now no team is clearly going to challenge Napoli for the title race.

Lazio is also good, but two defeats in last four matches give them some shock which needs to be settled because if they are not able to consistent then surely they can go down with AC Milan is also having not good things in near future because lack of funds is also hurting them badly which must for the quality players those can stand for them for their chance of title defense.

I guess Barcelona would be regretting and not happy for not qualifying in the Champions league and would not not want to perform the same way like they did in the Champions League.  Barcelona are in better form than Manchester United,  Barcelona already has a good player who is known for scoring goals in every match  which is Lewandowski. Barcelona would not want to have bad results in Europa league so they will try their best to be consistent in Europa.
Most chances they will be not regretting about this all as they are big club, and they will try to improve their quality and performance for the future instead of regretting about this all Xavi is doing amazing job, and they are on course of recovery as they were badly struggling for last few years right now they are at the top of La Liga and if they are able to carry on with this same attitude then most chances they will be able to win title and have good chance for doing better performance in next season.

Bringing few quality players and having good unit of quality players was their first priority, and now they are doing work on better strategy which will help them for having better results in all competitions for long run now for their better achievements we have to wait for their next match against Manchester United how their response in the Europa Cup after drop from Champions League.

Pakistan vs England, 2nd Test In this match Pakistan scored 107 runs in 28 overs. England scored 281 runs in this match. I think Pakistan will cross this run very easily. Pakistan batsman Babar Azam could not score 100 runs for a while in today's match. But maybe tomorrow.  Babar Azam will easily score 100 runs.
I have no confidence in the batsmen of the Pakistan team. Their performance is very erratic. I won't be surprised if Pakistan lose all the wickets in the first session tomorrow. Again I will not be surprised if Pakistan scores more than 400 runs in the first innings. Nothing is impossible for Pakistan. There are several talented batsmen in the Pakistan team. It is not difficult to score 400 runs on such a pitch if you can bat responsibly. Looking at the pitch, I don't think it is a bowling friendly pitch at all.
I agree, they are quality batsmen and bowlers but sadly still having not confident to play freely and give results like a unit in this test match format which is surely a big problem for them in last few years for this match even after end of first day things are looking good, but I have feeling England is in commanding position and their approach is also very aggressive which give them good response.

If they are able to have few wickets in first hour then surely they could be at top of the game and most chances they will be able to win this series by score of 3 - 0 because Pakistani selectors are doing experiments, and they are not going to have any positive output with these part-timer bowlers and batsmen they need five batsmen and five bowlers if they want to compete with them or have five batsmen with two all rounders are also good for them.

Now we have Babar Azam and Saud on crease hopefully we will have another entertaining day on Saturday and second day of this test match.
2270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 08, 2022, 05:33:21 PM
If you look at the main stars of PSG, Messi-Neymar, and Mbappé we will see that all three of them are going to go quite deep in the World Cup with their teams.

So, I think PSG might actually encounter a little bit of problems with the restart of the club competition.

I don’t know if you are aware that Messi is injured or not. But he is determined to give his full potential to the national team, it doesn't matter if he gets injured or not. I don’t know if he intends to take time off or not. But it doesn't seem unlikely that he will get injured.

Neymar already had an injury. He is playing for Brazil but I don’t think he has made a full recovery. I expect Neymar to take some time off after the World Cup. Mbappe will probably stay healthy because he is not that old. But he can be fatigued.
Most chances PSG will not have any problem if these all three stars will be not available for the first two or three matches after the break because they have enough strength for having win against their opponents into Ligue 1 without them even most chances all players will be available and give their best for the club but still they have nearly two months in start of Champions League and Ligue 1 is surely not problem for them even if they have just one or two players completely fit after the world cup.

There is no doubt Neymar will be not available after the end of world cup until he fully recovered but most chances Messi and Mbappé both will be on and give their best which is also enough for the club for retaining their top spot in Ligue 1 table.
2271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin Survive A Nuclear War? on: December 08, 2022, 06:30:42 AM
Technically speaking it depends on the surviving amount of people. Nuclear war is something that may destroy all life on earth at a certain level, which means if there are no humans then there is no bitcoin, as well.

However, if there are enough people left, and if all of those people are not cancer ridden (nuclear war distributes radiation, which causes cancer) then one way or another bitcoin could survive as well if we can keep the internet going. Basically it all depends on the amount of people left, and how big is the war. That will decide on everything else and that will make sure that it will go smoothly afterwards, or just good old walking dead style or not.

I do agree that he is not a great trader to be fair, and I do believe that he gets paid by the big companies to promote whoever at any given moment and if someone tells him to bash on bitcoin then he would, if someone pays him to promote it, he will say bitcoin is great.

However, I wouldn't counter trade him because one day he will say it is great, and I actually do think that it is great, as long as we invest like that, there shouldn't be any issues at all. That is not a big problem, sometimes even a broken clock could tell the time correctly, and that means sometimes he could turn out to be right, say it's good to buy, and could be good to buy at that moment.

The Bangladeshi fightback was incredible. Bangladesh's incredible recovery from 69/6 to 271/7 was largely owed to Mehdi Hasan and Mahmudullah. As a new star for Bangladesh, Mehdi Hasan proved his worth once again. Whatever the result, Bangladesh's team deserves credit for the way they played. They will impress us with their bowling attack like Mehdi Hasan and Mahmudullah, who are amazing partners to work with.
It is the best performance for Miraz in a series. He is going to get the man of the series award without any doubt. I thought Bangladesh wouldn't be able to score more than 120 runs in that match. But Miraz and Mahmudullah made a strong comeback from such disaster position. Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel also made a good partnership when they were chasing the target. Eventually Rohit Sharma made the game alive for India, but Bangladesh has won the match by 5 runs.
No one was expecting score like this and batting like this from Mehdi Miraz because after 69/6 nothing was positive available for Bangladesh but a pair of Mehdi and Mahmudullah change the momentum of this match, and we have 272 runs on board which is surely the biggest target and good fight from tail enders, but main problem starts as we have poor batting from top order Indian batting lineup with Kohli second time fail to give any positive performance and few other big players are also not play positive game thanks for Rohit Sharma as he has done good job in last few balls and India able to reach near the target.

While Rohit Sharma was smashing in last three overs, I have feeling they can do this like Bangladesh done in first game, but miss of last ball give them defeat in this match and series as well.
2274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 08, 2022, 02:26:32 AM
Brighton haven't been doing well since Graham Potter left the team. They have played 8 matches with De Zerbi's management so far in the league. They won only twice and lost 4 of them. They got those wins in their last a few matches actually but this is still not a promising form at all. Of course there will be some adaptation process to a new manager. But if Potter stayed I believe they would have a much better run in the rest of the season as well. Potter's game plan was running like clockwork there unlike at Chelsea.

He hasn't been able to make it work with Chelsea much yet. They have got so many negative results due to being unproductive in most of the matches. Potter is making a lot of money now of course. It is one of the most valuable contracts for a manager in history. But if he doesn't manage to make this team play stronger until the end of the season he might not be tolerated as much as Tuchel. Because Tuchel had very successful times with the team and his departure was due to a completely different reason.
Brighton is on recovery way after losing their coach few weeks back, and they have reasonable results in last five matches, but things are not good for Chelsea as well which is major concern for them but good thing happening in Brighton now they are on good way with De Zerbi trying to adjust things which bring good results and most chances they will be able to have good spot in this season now after 18 days we have first match between Brighton vs Tottenham which is surely going to be good matches of this round as well.

Now we will be having good changes into Chelsea because Honeymoon period is already ended for Potter and management wants good results which possible if he is able to have players those can give him positive results which is coming in January transfer window because with current squad he is not having any good results, so things can go worse if he is not able to bring quality players in coming days.
2275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One Month of Accepting Bitcoin for Payment on: December 07, 2022, 08:36:02 PM
I have been accepting bitcoin for over 7 years now, it's definitely the right decision. Specially for people like us who do not have a lot and could do greatly with even extra 50 dollars, accepting bitcoin means that we are opening ourselves to the world, a world where there are tons of people, even kids of certain nations that could lose 50 bucks and not care about it. So that means we could actually make a lot of money if we do a good job and also accept bitcoin and make money worldwide.

Accepting bitcoin as a store must be still harder considering you would only sell stuff to people who walk in the door, but online it would be a lot better for you.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) has yet to be released on december 16th. It was recently claimed that Avatar TWOW is the most expensive film in history with a whopping $300+ million dollar budget. Given that it will likely have a strong climate change and environmental message. The theme of it could align with current events in a way that will cause annual events like the oscars to throw awards at James Cameron and Avatar. The only thing Avatar TWOW is missing is Greta Thunberg and Al Gore cameo appearances.
Agreed and because much of these awards shows are used for political messages which climate change has become very much inserted by politicians into their own political agendas, it would not be very shocking if Avatar: Way of Water would receive more than 5 nominations in the Golden Globe and the Oscar Awards.

Avatar has made the top 5 for best picture in some of the sportsbooks, however, there are others that have not updated and have it listed on very big odds. Best picture for Avatar and best director for James Cameron hehehe.

The Golden Globe will announce their nominees on December 12. I reckon if you speculate that Avatar and James Cameron would be nominated for best picture and best director, place your Oscar bets for them before December 12 hehe.
Considering very very few nations are actually caring about climate change, and very few governments has done anything substantial about it, I am pretty sure that nobody cares about it in reality. It is a true problem, and wouldn't hurt anyone to solve it neither and yet for some reason nobody cares, so political agenda is not on that. Something like "look at how people mistreated blacks back in the day.. oh and we still do to native Americans but lets not talk about that" type of movie could get a lot of attention.

In 2022, we still see Americans not even provide clean water to natives, and yet a movie in 60's on how blacks were mistreated could get an award, THAT is a political agenda for sure. For this one though, Fabelmans do have a big chance, it's just movie industry in a shell.
2277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling techniques on: December 07, 2022, 06:52:22 PM
There is a contradiction in your statement because if you follow a strategy (doesn't matter which one), you are basically going to follow a pre-defined pattern. Take martingale as an example: if you win - you bet the same amount again, if you lose - you double your bet <- this is a pattern and all other strategies work the same way.
Besides, we know that in fair games based on luck, each bet is independent from the previous one. So, nothing can improve your  chances.
Yes, of course, but for example, if I use the martingale once and it gives me results once and for all, I don't use it anymore, I start with another one and until I don't know, I don't leave it, of course this is something that I have always done when I play and when those strategies end because I leave everything to chance and that is where everything happens, of course this is my way of playing, normally when I play and I run out of those ideas I leave everything to chance, and in part you win and lose , but although klas strategis do not help much, sometimes they give some results, that is something that I cannot deny, although in certain games I do that, as well as in slots it is not applicable.
For me as long as the strategy that I use still works, I won't stop using it. I am afraid that if I switch on the other, the winning momentum that I am feeling with is going stop but I admit that I was once a paranoid when it comes to gambling that I think the casino watches every move that I make. That is why I keep on switching my strategy.

If you ran out of ideas, why not take a break for a while instead of continuing playing randomly. It will only make you worry and possibly leave you with regrets in case you lose. You can also use your break to find another strategy so that you will have more in stock and you will never ran out of strategy anymore in the future.
2278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: December 06, 2022, 08:16:22 PM
I don't think that any transfer can seriously change the chances of the teams (unless of course it's Haaland + Mbappe, but they hardly want Chelsea plus they can no longer play for another club in the Champions League this season). Maybe we will see Ronaldo's move that has been talked about so much? He's not showing anything special this season, but he has a certain Champions League magic associated with him.
Bringing in players who are already registered in the Champions League with other clubs cannot help Chelsea, they can only play in the domestic league, while the Champions League must wait for next season. Ronaldo is very likely to be played in the Champions League because the club that Ronaldo defended before did not qualify for the Champions League. This situation can be used by Chelsea to increase their strength to compete in the Champions League. Ronaldo really can't do much and isn't as sharp as he used to be, but his experience and skills can help Chelsea go a step further.
I was not aware about this law of UEFA because if they have anything like this surely it's going to help Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea for having better result in this season and with this option most chances in January window we will be having him into Chelsea without any doubt because right now Graham Potter is looking for the player like him who give them good performance and quality so with the arrival of Ronaldo into Chelsea they can do better things.

Even too many speculations about his career and age factor but still we can expect better performance from him because he has already done good for the Manchester United, and he was top scorer in last season but sadly having not good playing time under new coach Ten Haq which create problems for the both, and now he is out of the club.
2279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 06, 2022, 05:14:02 PM
"Ronaldo already has a lot of money" a sentence I often read on this forum. This is a true comment. With the money he have, money is no longer his personal target. However, he wants sweet history before he retires. According to some media, he will not choose a club from Saudi Arabia, but he would prefer to join Chelsea. If this happens, then this will be good decissions from players who no longer expect to be richer but want an personal achievement.

BTW, there is a plan from the Portugal coach not to play Ronaldo against Switzerland. It looks like the coach will make a mistake if he doesn't play Ronaldo in this match.
Right now nothing is clear about his future because things are really messed up, and we can't talk about how will he handle this all with most chances he will not join any club outside Europe because of his love affair with UEFA Champions League and right now too many rumours about his next stay with most chances he will stay in England because Chelsea and Newcastle United both are interested even these are just rumours but still anything can happen.

Many are feeling money is issue, but he is already having enough funds from his system which can cover but now mainly he wants to stay in UEFA as he is having good memories and records in this even and want to end his career on high note with his best last time performance in this Champions League for next one or two years.

So far so good any gambling that does not support my right being a gambler will enjoy my first decision by deleting such from my list because all efforts at the long term will amount to void if i can win and got denied access to claiming it, lottery game has much focus like before and i think this had to do with their reputation because gamblers don't uses that anymore as before, lottery scam is now rampaging.
Reputation is what makes most lottery companies to be rated. Some lotery games are very difficult to win that is why I do mostly select the kind of games I play on-line to make my experience more enjoyable so that I can too make some profits. One lottery application has good reputable, more gamers to come for it because everyone need to make some good profits.
There are a lot of things that is included when rating a casino/lottery site and one of it is the reputation but I think this was also the main. If we found out that they are not reputed then other things on that site will be negated.

It's going to be useless but I think they have a reason on why they made an effort to put those. That's because there are still people who gamble without researching first if that casino/lottery site is legit or not. There are other things that they are focusing and they judge the site based on it. Lottery games are known to be difficult in terms of winning but in return of it is that their prizes are also huge. They are like millions. So, I guess that makes sense.
