obviously my prediction was right, too much difference in quality and technique
also in Barcelona there are HUNGRY people who are so hungry for victories and titles, so it is the explosive mix
I don't know if they will succeed in overthrowing the battleship Real Madrid, this is difficult to predict

Clearly my bet was won Smiley

They played very comfortably and of course in this case the presence of Kounde made their defense better and I like to see Alonso and Alba in the line-up.
The match ended with a striking score and this of course is what is always expected especially they are one of the strongest challengers this season so they really need to win to stay stuck to Madrid now.

It's been a good start again and now they have to prepare for another dark horse in a few days as Bilbao will be visiting Camp Nou.

This is a very good thing and of course those who are interested in participating in this contest even if it is with minimal creativity Grin
But this did not spark my desire to enter this contest.
Actually there are a lot of pictures that I save on my phone starting from the initial work, but it seems that this is too much to show and I only show the results.

Almost half an hour the game went on, as usual we watched Barcelona dominate the game. There have been no goals and also no opportunities that really have the potential to become goals from the hosts Barcelona or from the visitors Villarreal.

While in other matches Osasuna now leads with one goal from their guests Espanyol. Ante Budimir broke Osasuna's deadlock with a goal he created in the 55th minute. In terms of the game, Osasuna played better than Espanyol. I don't think that Espanyol can score in this match, I believe it will be a win for Osasuna.

Well in this case it is indeed news that looks pretty good but if I'm not mistaken there were several surveys also at the end of last year or the beginning of the month in 2022 which said almost 50 percent of Americans could buy crypto this year.
In this case, buying does not mean it will be completely Bullish but seeing news like this, it is clear that there will be a bit of confidence in the next year although this is still uncertain because it is still assuming.
Considering this is just a survey, so it can still be a sort of speculation that may not eventually happen or may happen and turn into reality. However, knowing the market that is very unpredictable, I bet Canadians would somehow fear investing if the market is still very unstable and that bitcoin price still not reaching its significant price. But I just hope that they’ll know eventually that the best entry would be when the market is facing its bearish season, most likely the one we are experiencing now.
Assumptions like this are indeed quite good but on the other hand as you said this is only about speculation so we can't really believe that this will turn out to be good because considering this there are still two possibilities.
Worries may happen but this is actually a good thing if you want to start Investing (not trading).
When indeed we have more money then investing from now on is definitely a good thing regardless of how it can still go down or not as long as we are sure of our investment why should we panic because it is clear when the Bulls arrive this will be very good.
It is true that an assumption like this cannot come true, but there is something positive value that can be seen from the survey conducted, namely increasing people's trust in bitcoin. Things like this will be a positive narrative for people who initially hesitate to invest in bitcoin. With this being the case, people who initially doubted might assume otherwise, namely that their trust in bitcoin is increasing. Don't be too focused on whether the survey results are correct or not, but let's see the positive side of what we are talking about.

In today's Premiership matches, teams from the bottom of the table will play, which does not mean that there will be no excitement. On the contrary, any loss of points against a direct opponent in the struggle to stay in the league will be especially painful. I expect a lot of goals in the Leicester vs Leeds game. Both teams like to play offensively, sometimes forgetting about defence. Both teams have had crazy matches this season. I hope that it will be similar today and I bet over 3.5 goals.
True, a small team match does not mean a match that will not be interesting to watch. Moreover, this is the Premier League which is very possible for weak teams to attract attention in their matches. Actually I want to see how Leicester are now who a few seasons before could surprise everyone by winning the Premier League. But this season they have slumped to inhabit the relegation zone with a position at the bottom of the standings. They are a team that often loses by recording 7 defeats. Quite the opposite when they became champions here.

Manchester city are still in a solid ground to maintain the first position in the table to surprise people that they have talented squads that will make the fans happy for the Massive success they will achieve from this season. Haaland performance so far in this season made people to believed that the team will not miss this season title than to do everything possible within their power to help the team to achieve the success before the end of the tournament.
Manchester City have looked extraordinary with their new striker, Erling Haaland. But they will still be faced with many very big hurdles to reach their goals in this Champions League. Even though they are very strong but they can still be beaten, moreover this is the Champions League where all teams perform to their best strength. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Geermain, Real Madrid are still waiting for them up front if they meet. There is still a long way to go to say they are the biggest favorites in this competition.

I prefer City to be in the final this season although they are still confused about who will be next to them.
Maybe, I also agree. But not having high hopes on them is good. All because of the final results in the last few seasons, they failed even after reaching the final where they were the most favorite team at the time.
Their hopes were always dashed in the last few steps. Yes they always fail in matches that are actually very decisive for them to be able to win their first trophy in the Champions League. Is their mentality still not ready to bring trophies here, or is there something else. I'm not sure about that, but indeed everything they experience here is very bitter because they have to fail repeatedly.

Looking at Napoli's performance now it's actually still getting better for them but sometimes the problem is that in the next few weeks it's clear it will be a tough game for them.
for their next 5 matches, there are at least 3 clubs that are a scourge for them at this time, namely Roma, Atalanta for Serie A and Liverpool for the Champions League.

I actually still believe for them to face Roma regardless of Roma's performance and of course it will be a bit of a hassle but I'm sure they will win, but the problem is the game after, whether they are able to beat all the big games that will happen after this makes me not too sure .
Napoli is unstoppable now and we are enjoying solid performance from them. They are very confident now to face any team. Roma is a strong opponent for Napoli and it will be away match for Napoli. But statistics show that Napoli is favorite in this match. I hope Napoli will be able to win over Roma.
But with a hectic schedule and looking at the opponents that will be faced clearly this will be a problem and Spalletti clearly has to think of the right scheme to stay consistent while maintaining the fitness of their players.
Against a difficult club will obviously be a difficult battle and the players are definitely required to be extra both in attack and defense which will certainly consume a lot of stamina.
Now they are in good form but if one mistake is made then this is likely to fall apart and reflect on last season when they faltered so it is difficult for them to return to their previous form.
1908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are new bitcoin users early or late to the party? on: October 20, 2022, 03:53:14 PM
No one is late to bitcoin even though most of them think it's too late because they see the bitcoin price at the beginning and what is happening now, of course it becomes a regret (if you look at the financial advantage). But if speaking as a whole it is never too late, it is clear this is an asset created for the future and that future is not just now but beyond.
My advice is not to always look at the profit side of money, but to look wider than that. It would be a shame to only see it from one side.

It is because of the thought that it is too late to invest in bitcoin that most newbies to the market are looking for altcoins to invest in in the hope that there will be an altcoin like bitcoin. But sadly no altcoins can do that and make newbies lose, thus making them lose faith in bitcoin and crypto.

If we compare the current bitcoin price with the early days it is true that bitcoin has increased by thousands of percent but if we look at the era of cryptocurrency, the bitcoin revolution has only just begun and we still have a long way to go. So it must be said that it is still early to invest in bitcoin.
This is the obstacle and of course this is wrong.
Looking for alternatives by hoping that there will be the same thing as bitcoin, it is clear that this will actually lead them to fall into the trap of finally looking for pump and dump coins which makes them even worse and losers.

This is actually a pretty good thing because we are still given a pretty big discount if we look in the mirror from the previous ATH.
Regardless of whether it's still bearish or not, of course it's not too wrong if we pay back from now on so that when they are bullish we don't lag behind.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 20, 2022, 03:15:09 PM
Marseille's 2 matches were not so good and should be 2 defeats in a row, it kept them away from Paris Saint Germain in the standings. This week they also got a tough opponent, Lens. Perched one level above Marseille Lens is a difficult opponent for Marseille. If you look at the statistics, these two teams are not much different in terms of strength, maybe it will also be a match that ends with sharing points from each team. If that really happened then Marseille would be further away from the leaders.

After a wonderful start to the season Marseille's form has started to drop down recently. I can understand the PSG defeat actually because it was really hard for them to get even one point away against PSG. They still resisted PSG well by conceding only one goal despite the red card. However I couldn't understand how they lost to a much weaker team like Ajaccio in their match home.

These consecutive point losses can cause bigger problems to happen but we will see. The Lens match is pretty tough for them and I'd like to add another thing like they lost their last two home matches against Lens also. Therefore it is difficult to trust Marseille as much as betting on them. But I might go for BTTS as I think that it will happen most probably.
A red card after they conceded a goal which made it even more difficult for them because they had to continue to focus on defense.
On the other hand, the defeat against Ajaccio is actually a surprise and I find it difficult to predict them against Lens in the upcoming match because regardless of what currently Lens is still performing quite well even though now they are also not very consistent but looking at the last 5 matches of course Lens is still better.
This is another difficult thing for Marseille because indeed in this match they are definitely required to bring 3 points.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: October 20, 2022, 12:42:10 PM
Barcelona vs Villarreal today that both of teams had different results from their recent matches that Barcelona has been lose from Madrid and Villarreal finally get their winning result again after 3 consecutive no wins and today actually as a host Barcelona is the favourite considering they were quite strong at home but Villarreal also cannot be underestimate because last season they can able to get 3 points at Camp Nou but today i think slightly different especially Villarreal performance this season is not quite good so i will considering Barcelona still have good opportunity to win the match than them and the odds for Barcelona was @1.50

this is a super easy game, obviously Barcelona will win
there are no stories, the difference between the teams is too high

even if Villareal went to the Champions League, they are not a bad team, they are simply not at the level of their competitors
Even though Barcelona's condition is still much better but this is still not an easy thing in my opinion, especially at this time Villarreal is still one of the clubs that I find troublesome even though in the last few games they have not played well.

But to bet Barcelona is more worth it, moreover there are some players who are starting to recover now.


And it's all a bad sign for Barcelona, especially as a crushing blow to Xavi who put in the wrong players. Let's say in the match against Madrid yesterday Barcelona faced the right line of a Sergi Roberto (the slow) to guard a Vinicius (the fast). It's a shame because the Vinicius movement can be closed by Araujo or Balde. Obviously here Xavi made a total mistake in the placement of any player. After this, I believe that Real Madrid will never be chased again by Barcelona. With the standings position occupied by Madrid will only make Barcelona not get any trophies in La Liga.
Araujo is currently still unable to play due to the injury he is still suffering from in fact besides Sergi Roberto and Balde there they still have Alonso and Alba at least they still have more experience and are more capable than entering Sergi Roberto and Balde on both sides.
But it has happened and it would be better if Xavi learned from mistakes like this.
Bringing in young players to increase their flying hours is good but at least he must also know that experience is also more decisive in big games like this.

Not as imagined, now Real Betis are struggling to break down the defenses of Cadiz. The second half had just started and they still couldn't score throughout the first half, even Cadiz managed to make it difficult for Real Betis to at least break through their defense. The game can be said to be balanced in my opinion with Real Betis pressing more. There is still a lot of time for Real Betis to change the situation for the better and get 3 points from this match. Yes maybe they will win by only creating 1 goal.

I feel like I'm too late and the btc price is literally just gonna go sideways forever. Or maybe a slow gradual push up. Maybe in 20 years it will be worth half a mil.

I dont think we're gonna see anymore gains like people of the 2010s and 13s experienced. and even 2017...|

Will btc ever hit a million? Or hundred million?

I kick myself so hard every night going to sleep that I didn't get in earlier. Liek I'll literally have dreams of being in 2013 when I first heard about it and buying some... T_T

It really depends on your perspective. From a historical standpoint, new users are actually quite late to the Bitcoin party – the currency has been around for over eight years now. However, from a more speculative standpoint, new users may still be early to the party as Bitcoin's value could potentially continue to rise in the future. So it really depends on your outlook and investment goals!

Another game , another chance for my team Betis to stay on top 4 in LaLiga.  They are playing in about half an hour against Cadiz and Betis are having first chance for victory but a high odd of 2.14 that kinda make me skeptical and if you want to bet on this game , go for both teams to score just to be safe. Grin
This is a good opportunity for Real Betis to continue to get closer to the points from Barcelona and also keep their distance from Real Madrid, who are now at the top of the standings after successfully defeating Barcelona in the El Clasico match. Cadiz is not a strong opponent at the moment because Cadiz is still struggling to improve performance as well as get out of the relegation zone. It will be an important match for Real Betis to keep their form and I believe they can finish this well.

Sevilla as a team is now weak. They have continued to perform consistently poorly since the start of the season. Their position is 11th in the points table. Sevilla have won only 2 of 10 matches this season. It is almost certain that Sevilla will not qualify for the Champions League. But since Sevilla is a renowned team, they have a huge fan base. They should try to perform a bit better. But Sevilla are disappointing their fans in almost every match.
Sevilla are not in a very good position. They are failing to show good game now. They now need to ensure a win in every match if they want to do well in the tournament. Team players must be responsible. Hopefully they will come back in good form.
Sevilla has gone down a lot and it is so difficult for them to quickly get back out of this slump. Luckily they didn't lose any points in this match and still managed to get at least one point. Sevilla are so very difficult to develop the game even their back line is working poorly. If they continued to be in a situation like this then they would quickly get close to the red zone. The end of last season was the beginning where their situation was like this.

Despite being seeded, Napoli must be wary of AS Roma. In this match, Jose Mourinho is certainly very determined to break the chain of victories that have been achieved by Napoli. Chris Smalling will certainly take advantage of the advantage as the host to pick full points.
Although Napoli are in quite good shape following an unbeaten result, AS Roma cannot be considered weak, Jose Mourinho is building Roma's strength to be better this season, but on the other hand taking advantage of opportunities as hosts, not enough influence, and producing positive things , considering the arrival of Napoli to the Stadio Olimpico with high confidence, victories with Bologna, Ajax and Cremonese are enough to be capital for Napoli at this time.
Looking at Napoli's performance now it's actually still getting better for them but sometimes the problem is that in the next few weeks it's clear it will be a tough game for them.
for their next 5 matches, there are at least 3 clubs that are a scourge for them at this time, namely Roma, Atalanta for Serie A and Liverpool for the Champions League.

Manchester United are still up and down in performance, their game is unpredictable what it will be, sometimes it's good sometimes it's the other way around. They are still struggling with their own internal problems and result in losing maximum points even though it is an opportunity for them to collect more points. Now of course Tottenham is a tough opponent who is also more productive in scoring goals than Manchester United. Son and Harry Kane are a big threat to them. Their defense failed to keep up with erling Haaland when they were beaten by Manchester City. I hope they don't do the same in this game.
Still doubtful if choosing a bet on Man United they are not strong enough for a win so their stability is still not good enough so Ten Hag is still not trying to find the right strategy for his team at the moment.
That's what to watch out for because Tottenham are in the middle of their peak with Antonio Conte with 2 very deadly strikers "Son & Kane" I think this will indeed be a threat to Man United even if it plays at Old Traffor, so my chances are more on the result draw or Tottenham can win.
Tottenham's midfield and attack at this time is very troublesome.
Son, Richarison and Kulusevski are always troublesome with their runs which are quite difficult to catch. On the other hand Kane is also in good form and found his good form after missing last season which makes Tottenham now cannot be underestimated.

Currently Manchester's midfield is also still a little difficult.
Even though Ten Hag does a lot of schemes that are actually meant to strengthen in the midfield, but as you said, currently Ten Hag is still not able to maximize the potential of the MU players well.
1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 19, 2022, 03:10:50 PM
For some players everything is possible and indeed only a handful of people can do this and Benzema is one of them now.
Age is just a number really happened but most likely this only happened once for him. Even though this season there are still the same opportunities but seeing the condition of some of the current young players who are quite good I seem a little doubtful that Benzema can do this again.

It seems that Benzema will perform well this season as well. Among the young players, the performance of none other than Haaland seems satisfactory. If Benzema can continue his performance as consistently as last season and if Real Madrid is able to win the La Liga and Champions League titles again, Benzema may be able to win the Ballon d'Or again. We are not getting satisfactory performances from players like Lelandowski and Messi.
It's still not certain.
Now 10 weeks have passed and Benzema still hasn't shown his prime until now.
There are several reasons, such as the injury factor for a while and maybe the clubs now will not make Benzema free in the defense area so this is another factor.

He has to get out of his zone now and try to keep playing attractive performances like before so that he can make free movement later in the Liga that Madrid is running.

Of course at this time he must realize that if his current form is still the same then the Ballon d'Or title will only be once in his name although indeed I am still proud of this player.

Actually, in this case, everything related to goods and services clearly must have competitors because apart from being a benchmark as you said, this is also quite good for us as consumers because this can be several options and not only 1.
I am speaking from a consumer point of view, obviously being a little happy with the competition both in products and services so that it is not too monotonous when determining what we want because apart from there are various types, of course we are looking for the right price for us because at that time it was cheap. only one then it will be very difficult to determine this.
As a consumer then it is really that a benefit since we could really be having lots of options but it is really bad for business owners when they do really have those lots of  competitors which we know that it do affects

revenue making but well every business that is expected to have competition and tending to get some market share which it isnt really that surprising.This is why as a business owner then you should really be that

keep on seeking for something new or something that hadnt been in the market.This is why being progressive is really that important on any business.
As long you do sustain then thats really the most important thing to consider.
This goes back to their ability to do business because regardless of what it is about good management in business whether they can compete or not.
Because of course this is when we are in a business competition will definitely continue to happen considering that in this case it is like the law of the jungle. who is strong then he is the one who survives.
It depends on whether we are able to compete or not because actually there are only two in this case when we are able to compete then we can survive but if not then surely you have to leave the business.

Currently the market is so aggressive that when there is a new product or new service there will be a lot of competition so when we do business we must pay attention to this.

Benzema really deserved this award. He played excellent football alone, helped them win many critical matches and thanks to him, his team won trophies. I think he was the most valuable player of the last year, and he was at the age where many players retire while doing all this.
He's still doing great and I think he'll be very successful this season as well. Benzema is to be congratulated Smiley
Indeed, Real Madrid's success last season could not be separated from the great contribution that Benzema dedicated to Real Madrid and it was an extraordinary season for him. This award deserves to be bestowed upon him. Now he has successfully recorded one of the awards that many players want. And the award for him is not much debated because he really deserves this award. Congratulations to Benzema who won the award, hopefully this will be a motivation for him to navigate this season.

Manchester United should have been able to defeat Newcastle last week. Their wasting big opportunities in the last minutes cost them big. And this time they are going to play even a more difficult match. It is a home match against Tottenham.

Tottenham have been one of the best performing teams since the beginning of the season. As Son has improved his performance recently as well they are even stronger in offense especially. Manchester United defense will need to work extra compared to the Newcastle match. Because they might not be that much lucky about not conceding any goal unlike the Newcastle match. Actually they defended Liverpool and Arsenal very well in Old Trafford. But I think that Tottenham will resist them really well and not lose this match. I don't think they will lose to them too after having a defeat against Arsenal recently.
Manchester United are still up and down in performance, their game is unpredictable what it will be, sometimes it's good sometimes it's the other way around. They are still struggling with their own internal problems and result in losing maximum points even though it is an opportunity for them to collect more points.
