Although Hellas Verona won the previous two matches, the team is not able to play well in the away match of Sassuolo today. The match turned out to be extremely enjoyable. Sassuolo lead 2-1 after 70 minutes. And in the home match Sassuolo boys are performing quite well today.

Sassuolo lost the first two matches. The team lost both matches against Atalanta and Napoli. The important thing is that the team was not able to score a single goal in these two matches. And so today probably many gamblers were considering Hellas Verona as favourites. But in today's match Sassuolo is back on the truck. Their performance is also quite good. So far the match situation looks like Sassuolo will get 3 points in this match. Hellas Verona's attack looks a bit weak today.

Sassuolo won the match 3-1. Sassuolo had a great comeback after losing two matches. The dominance of Sassuolo's players was very visible throughout the match. Hellas Verona's performance was a bit slow from the start of the match. And finally the team had to admit defeat. Sassuolo players had a total of 16 shots in this match, 7 of which were on taget. Sassuolo's every attack was very strong. That's why Hellas Verona's defenders failed to resist Sassuolo. Beradi and Pinamonti's performances were excellent today.

Milan scored in just 9 minutes against Roma. Giroud scored from the penalty spot. It looks like Roma will not be able to score points today. Despite playing well in the last season, the team's performance has been poor since the beginning of this season. Roma's attack in particular is very weak.

Now Dortmund has many things for which they can do a lot, with this signing, I think they can do things in a more special and much bigger way, Dortmund is aiming to give it their all to win the Budneslifga this time, they have already been told note that they are not even a bit afraid of Bayern.
They have and got already the things in the past for can making big things , even they lost a few good players in the transfer period this time,
i guess its possible that they can show there true face now , but they need to start it today against Heidenheim with a win and hopefully many scored goals.
Dortmund is not afraid about Bayern Munich.
Fingers crossed that Niclas Füllkrug will get a few Minutes to play and maybe score a goal for his new Team.

I don't think Dortmund will win the title. I don't even consider Dortmund as favorites for the title. And I have never seen a better performance from Dortmund in the opening two games of the season. Dortmund got a narrow 1-0 win against a weak team like Koln. Dortmund team drew 1-1 against Bochum in the second match.
In the first two matches, it is well understood that Dortmund's attack is quite weak. The team managed to score only two goals in two matches. Dortmund fans will certainly expect goals from Niclas Füllkrug, Dortmund's new striker, in today's match. If Niclas Füllkrug performs well, maybe Dortmund's performance will stabilize.

Bayern Munich are not considering Dortmund as an opponent for the title. Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga again this year and easily win the title. Harry Kane has settled into the team very well. And he is capable of scoring a lot of goals. So Munich's chances of winning the title have increased.

It seems what happening right now is "buy the news sell the rumors". Look what happened on the price when Grayscale things popped, the market pumped, and look at now, dumped again.
For sure a lot of people are losing money because of these kinds of news.

Although the SEC lost the case to Grayscale, the acceptance or rejection of the ETFs is still at the discretion of the SEC and not any other agency. So it's not surprising to me that they continue to reject all ETFs proposals, including BlackRock's, which we were most looking forward to. But what's interesting is that they delayed it until March 2024 and that's also when the halving will take place. Therefore, on social network X, many conspiracy theories have appeared claiming that the SEC is also participating in market manipulation.

If you're trading or investing in Bitcoin, then you can be able to make money to put food on your table. But there are risks involved, you can see that the market is highly volatile, so anything you are doing, you just have to be careful. When it comes to anything investment , there are risks involved.
It's like a gamble though but if you are able to do things right, it is not a gamble. If you invest time and effort, you will succeed and you can do trading for a living.
So yeah, it's a risk that you will rely on trading only for food for our family, what will happen if there are days/weeks that you don't win on trading? Always think also on the other side.


Investment and business are only considered gambling when we have no knowledge, but when we have full knowledge and understanding about it, it is not gambling but can bring us good income. While I am not advocating for anyone to consider investing or trading bitcoin as their main source of income, there are still some people who are doing it and have been successful. But of course, very few people can do it and everyone should not follow, but rely on their own ability.

Bitcoin is just a tool for us to generate income, so it not only provides food but can also be our daily need, if we know how. It's all up to us, not bitcoin or any other asset.
765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: August 31, 2023, 02:03:01 PM
Another remarkable aspect of Casimero is his consistent taunting of Inoue, which has led people to believe in his genuine confidence in defeating an exceptionally skilled fighter. He has effectively generated interest in the fight, and now, we're eager to witness it unfold. While Inoue currently holds the championship title, there's no doubt that Casimero will present a tough challenge. His approach is distinct from the kind of competition Inoue has faced in his previous bouts.

That's why it's of utmost importance for the fight with Tapales to take place this year, as it could pave the way for another significant Inoue fight next year.

This won't stop until he gets a chance to fight Inoue. He's set his sights on Inoue as he seeks a fast track to success, but Casimero's luck in this regard seems a bit uncertain, as he hasn't been able to cross paths with Inoue just yet. This is his opportunity, as they now compete in the same division—Casimero as a challenger and Inoue as the champion.

It wouldn't be unreasonable if Inoue were to put an end to the speculations surrounding their matchup by facing Casimero. It could silence Casimero in one effective way: a knockout victory. However, it's perplexing why Inoue doesn't seem interested. This lack of enthusiasm on Inoue's part raises questions and can't help but lead people to consider whether Inoue is avoiding a clash with Casimero out of fear.

Inoue knows very well what is happening here. He knows that he is a money fight right now. And there will be a lot of people trying to fight against him. And Casimero is probably doing this because he wants to have a go at him even though he might not deserve it. I am definitely not going to say that he does not deserve the fight. It is a different conversation if he actually deserves the fight or not. But if there is a big fighter who can actually be a payday for other fighters, there will be a lot of fighters talking trash about him.

So I don’t know if he is going to take Casimero seriously or not. Maybe if Casimero wins his fight on 12th October, he will get his chance.

You're right partially, but in the world of football nothing is impossible and it might come as a surprise that Leverkussen wins the Bundesliga though the odds for that is very high, for instance there was a time in the Epl when Leicestercity just got promoted to the EPL and took everyone by suprise and won the league, so nothing is impossible, it's just that the Leverkussen are not very strong enough to challenge for the title which has been dominated by Bayern Munich over the years, talk more of now that they've even strengthened their squad depth and got a perfect striker that's capable of scoring goals in every match day.
 To me I feel the Club that would likely challenge Bayern Munich for the title this season is either Borussia Dortmund or Leipzig, well the season just started so I'll wait till it gets to the middle of the season and see the strength of Leipzig before concluding if they'll be league contenders or no.
Leicester is an exception to the rule, I don’t know how they managed it, but I think that this will not happen again soon. In the Bundesliga, I don’t know such examples, the dominance of Bayern is too significant here and their main rival is Dortmund, but even they find it difficult to compete with Bayern. The clubs have slightly different goals, Bayern aims to win the Champions League, and Dortmund aims to educate young talented players and sell them, it is clear that this will affect the team's goals and their results.
Of course, priorities may be different for Dortmund, but I think they want to take the championship title from Bayern Munich now. They had a chance until the last game last year, but they handed the trophy to Bayern in the last game. That's why I don't think Bayern will lose in the Bundesliga anymore. As if the trophy somehow goes to Bayern Munich.

Personally I still don't think Dortmund's goal is to win the title. It is true that they played well last season. They played well throughout the season, and if they could have won the last match, they could have been champions. But if Dortmund were aiming to win the title, they would have strengthened their squad. But they didn't do that. Their purpose is to do business. They sold Bellingham, one of the best players in their squad, to Real Madrid. If Dortmund's goal was to win the title, they would not have sold the best players in the squad. This is why I think we will only see Bayern Munich dominate this season.

This is the issue with users that come to the forum and cook up a story thinking they can use it to gain some merits for themselves, the more you lie the harder it becomes for you to keep up with your lies and soon after you’ll be caught.

Aside from the fact that your story seems like a BS story, who else have noticed that the Op stories always have “friend, relatives etc” in them. And once you start to create different stories that’s centred around you it becomes extremely difficult for people to really believe that something like that actually happened to you and in this thread I don’t believe that you invested in bitcoin in 2017 if you did you won’t have come to the forum and start to make post like a newbie who does not even know how to create a bitcoin wallet.

If you check his thread history, most of the stories are just fabricated and full of suspicion. I also don't believe he invested in bitcoin in 2017 and even today he doesn't own too much bitcoin. I don't believe that someone who has been successful with bitcoin can come up with stories that only make others doubt instead of believe.
From what OP said, he likens bitcoin to a panacea for him but what I most doubt is his saying bitcoin is bringing in income for him. I wonder how and what job he is doing.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 30, 2023, 06:50:21 PM
Australia vs South Africa 1st T20

T20 cricket has a big match today, the first T20 match between Australia vs South Africa is going to be played today at 10 pm (local time). In the beginning, that's why I said a very big match because Australia and South Africa are a very strong team in T20, especially South Africa is very strong at their home ground. Australia toured South Africa to play three T20Is and five ODIs. South Africa is always favorite in South African conditions considering that condition I want South Africa ahead in this match.
The 1st T20 between Australia vs South Africa is started. South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first that is not a good decision. Australia batted very well they scored 100 runs in a loss of 4 wickets in 10 Overs. Mitchell Marsh playing at 54 not out in 24 balls. From South Africa Lizaad Williams picked up 2 crucial wickets by just giving 20 runs. Gerald Coetzee and M. Jansen also took 1, 1 wickets. But Australia maintains the 10 runs per over run rate I think the way Australia bats the protected score is 200 runs in 20 Overs. The Target 200 or above is very difficult to Chase down for South Africa.
Undoubtedly, the South African team is going to be defeated in today's match. Australia set a huge target of 227 runs. I don't think South Africa will be able to win against Australia's bowling attack by batting on such a big target.
I don't think it was a bad fielding decision after winning the toss. But the Australian batsmen have batted brilliantly. In particular, Mitchell Marsh and Tim David's excellent batting resulted in Australia amassing a huge total of 226. Marsh was unbeaten on 92 off 49 balls. And David scored 64 off just 28 balls. Australian players are in great form. Batting down to a target of 227, South Africa lost 1 wicket in 2 overs and collected 4 runs. South Africa will be defeated by a huge margin if they bat so slowly.

South Africa are playing very badly. They will lose today by a big margin. I saw South Africa 2 wickets for 60 runs, but the team lost 5 wickets to collect 69 runs. I don't see any chance of South Africa winning this match. Apart from opener Reeza Hendricks, no other batsman is playing well. Hendricks remains unbeaten with 42 off 28 balls. South Africa managed to collect only 86 runs in 10 overs. They need 141 more runs in 10 overs to win. The team needs to score an average of 14 runs per over to win. As South Africa have already lost important batsmen. So the possibility of their defeat by a large margin is high.

There is no doubt that Nepal team is weak. Although they have performed well against teams like UAE, USA and Netherlands, I have not seen Nepal team play well against the big teams. Even a few days ago, Nepal lost badly against Pakistan A team and India A team. I have no doubt that Pakistan will win today's match. And I think if Pakistan bats first, they will beat Nepal by at least 120 runs. Pakistan will be looking to get off to a great start in the Asia Cup opener. On the other hand, this is Nepal's first Asia Cup. The goal of Nepali players is not to win, they will want to perform well and make the match competitive.
They did well to qualify for the Asia Cup. Most of the teams participating in the 2023 ACC Men's Premier Cup (which acted as a qualifier tournament for Asia Cup) had experienced first class players from India and Pakistan representing them. Nepal did well to qualify, but after that their performance was disastrous. They failed to get in to the super-6 stage of the ODI World Cup qualifiers. And then they performed poorly against the U-23 teams from Asian full members during the 2023 ACC Men's Emerging Cup.

One should not expect too much from Nepal team today. One should not even think that the match will be competitive. Unless a miracle happens, I don't see any chance of this match being competitive. Recently I have watched several matches of Nepal. I have seen the World Cup Qualifier matches in particular. Nepal's performance was not good. And so there is little chance of Nepal performing well against a top tier team like Pakistan. The match will be one-sided and Pakistan will dominate. But if the Nepali players are confident then maybe they will be able to perform a little bit better. But the players of the squad are under pressure when playing against such strong opponents. And their performance further deteriorates. And so I don't expect to see a good performance from Nepal.

Alright people. It's Asia Cup time. It's good to see several new teams in this edition who could actually compete with the top dogs. As usual, India + Lanka + Pak are the strongest, but I hope that there are some unexpected twists.
Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
In my view, the possibility is very low for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup again in this year. Both Pakistan and India are strong, and I'm expecting one of them to win the Asia cup. Nepal is the only new team in this Asia cup. Hong Kong was the new team in the 2022. They were in the same group of India and Pakistan, and the new team Nepal has replaced them. I believe Nepal will loss the both matches with big margin.
It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. But it would not be right to consider Nepal as such an insignificant team. You may have noticed the matches of Nepal team, Nepal plays much better now than before. So without watching this year's Asia Cup game. It is not possible to say by how much margin Nepal team will win or lose. Now when the Asia Cup starts, it will be understood how well any team can play
Pakistan and India are two of the top ODI teams in ODI cricket whereas Nepal is one of the bottom ODI cricket team so the difference will be that everyone is expecting Nepal to go out of the tournament without winning a match. If it was a T20 tournament then Nepal had some chance to win but since it is played in ODI format it is very difficult for Nepal to win against India or Pakistan. It is very difficult but impossible for Nepal to win against India and Pakistan, but if Nepal performs well and if India or Pakistan do not play at their best, then Nepal will definitely have a chance to win any of the Asia Cup matches. Even if Nepal can't win a match, Nepal fans will be happy with Nepal's performance because Nepal has performed well recently and they have been doing great in cricket recently.
The first match of the Asia cup between Pakistan and Nepal and I do not see any upset being happening at the start of the series. Pakistan should easily won this match and we can bet on it. I just checked the stake to see the odds for this match and was disappointed to see the odds of 1.01 for the Pakistan win. It is not worth taking the risk.
Also, do not take the risk on Nepal's 12.50 odds either. Nepal will not be able to win this one.

Pakistan is at its best and Nepal can expect to perform well. When it comes to winning, this is really tough. The odds itself show how the match gonna be. All that I expect, the match shouldn't be completely one sided. Nepal needs to try something to experience the loss at minimal margin. Same time disappointment and surprises too could happen same as what we saw with the Pakistan's previous series against Afghanistan.
It is difficult to say how well Nepal can perform against Pakistan but Nepal must show good enough game. Although it will be very difficult for Pakistan to win the match for Nepal but still they have to try to win the match. Finally we can say with 90% sure that this match will basically win for Pakistan as Pakistan is strong enough compared to Nepal. We can say that this Pakistan match will be one-sided for Nepal because Nepal will not be able to show such a good performance against Pakistan. However if Nepal can perform well against Pakistan then definitely Pakistan won't be able to win the match by much margin, definitely if Nepal tries with their experience then they can put Pakistan under some pressure.

There is no doubt that Nepal team is weak. Although they have performed well against teams like UAE, USA and Netherlands, I have not seen Nepal team play well against the big teams. Even a few days ago, Nepal lost badly against Pakistan A team and India A team. I have no doubt that Pakistan will win today's match. And I think if Pakistan bats first, they will beat Nepal by at least 120 runs. Pakistan will be looking to get off to a great start in the Asia Cup opener. On the other hand, this is Nepal's first Asia Cup. The goal of Nepali players is not to win, they will want to perform well and make the match competitive.

Last I read, the two clubs were said to be at the stage of exchanging documents in order to push through with the deal. This deal has a high possibility this summer as Barcelona are set to sign Cancelo on a season long loan deal before the window closes. Manchester City are interested in the deal but I am not sure if there is an option to sign permanently or a one way loan deal.
Xavi might give Cancelo the opportunity to show his skills at Barcelona because several big clubs like Bayern Munich refused Cancelo's arrival as a loan player for one season, and of course that was very dangerous because when he was on loan, Cancelo would indirectly know the strategy used. At Barcelona, the risk of divulging the secrets of the strategy used is very high, so Xavi has to be careful when giving instructions to his players.

Barcelona would certainly benefit from adding Cancelo to the squad. Cancelo is quite a talented player. Barcelona's defense will be stronger if Cancelo is in the squad. Barcelona's defense is still quite weak. If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they definitely need to strengthen their defense. And Xavi knows this very well. This is why Xavi is keen to add Cancelo to the squad.

However, I don't think Barcelona's match strategy will be leaked if Cancelo is added to the team on loan for 1 season. Because an experienced coach doesn't just create a specific match strategy. Coaches have several plans. And considering the overall condition of the match, sometimes the coach changes his strategy even during the match. So even if Cancelo is in the squad I don't think there is much need for secrecy about match strategy.

Atletico Madrid completely destroyed Rayo Vallecano. That was totally unexpected. Rayo Vallecano won their first two games without conceding a goal. Some writers expect them to make a surprise against Atletico Madrid but exact opposite happened. Atletico Madrid showed their offensive power. Griezmann, Memphis, Morata, Correa, Llorente everybody scored. After 72nd minute Rayo dissolved, they lost concentration totally. It's hard to recover from such losses. Let's see how they will be back from this traumatic loss.
Wow, losing 0-7 was really embarrassing and happened in front of their own fans. Rayo Vallecano certainly feels like a nightmare, it's a shame I didn't watch this match, but it's like when Liverpool destroyed Manchester United but the difference is that the team that loses is the away team.
Rayo Vallecano certainly felt like they were being crushed, and Atletico Madrid didn't feel the need to have a lot of possession they just took every chance they created and seven goals in a game is amazing even sometimes against very weak teams it's hard to see a score like that because a team that the weak understand that playing defense is the best way of slaughter.
This defeat will certainly affect them mentally because previously their defense was impenetrable so Rayo did not concede a goal, the result of this match should not have made them down too deep because next up against Betis is also a tough match and they must back up soon.
Such is life,football is full of surprises and we should expected the unexpected. It was a big shock that Rayo was drilled in this way by Atletico Madrid,who showed them no mercy and didn't take all the chances that they had to score for granted. If you watch the game,you will see that the moment the last goal was scored many Rayo fans started leaving the stadium because it was a shame that Athletico Madrid score these number of goals in their own home. The second half was a mess on Rayo side as they couldn't calm down the pressure of Athletico Madrid that lead to the scoring of more goals than in the first half.

It's not often that Atlético Madrid win by such a big margin. Because this team does not play much attacking strategy. We usually see Atlético Madrid play defensively. But against Rayo Vallecano we saw a different Atlético Madrid side. Griezmann gave Atletico Madrid the lead by scoring in just 2 minutes. The players of Rayo Vallecano probably did not imagine that Griezmann would score so quickly. And scoring this goal probably boosted the confidence of the Atletico Madrid players. Atletico Madrid took a 3-0 lead in the first half. They scored 4 more goals in the second half. But the interesting thing is that 6 players of Atletico Madrid scored goals in this match. Only Alvaro Morata scored two goals. In addition, Llorente, Griezmann, Correa, Molina and Depay scored one goal each.

This match will start in the next 5 days but most people have predicted including betting markets that have displayed the odds for each team, just like your prediction the bookies also favor Arsenal 1.80 if we bet on Arsenal and 4.1 for Manchester United the difference in odds is obvious here but still market predictions do not guarantee they are always right, we still remember the match a few days ago when Newcastle were the favorites to beat Liverpool but what happened was the opposite.

Current from last three matches, Arsenal has better performance than Manchester United and playing in their home make Arsenal is favorable than Manchester United. Its not matter with Arsenal match result last week after held draw by Fulham and Manchester United success get crucial winning last games from Nottingham Forest. Based on odds given, actually Arsenal is favorable teams for winning against Manchester United. Has better performance in Premier League than Manchester United ever loss from West Ham United seems why United get bigger odds than Arsenal.
How possibility with Manchester United stopping unbeaten trend from Arsenal, last three match never loss yet and will United give the first loss for the gunner?
This is a match between two top Premier League teams, it is very difficult to predict in my opinion because these two teams have not been at their best at the start of this season, Manchester United have not been at their best until now and Arsenal have had to get disappointing results at the end of the last feed against Fulham.
Maybe Arsenal will benefit a little because they will be playing at their home Emirates Stadium and in front of their own supporters, but it should also be known that Manchester United is a top Premier League team that always presents fierce battles when the two teams meet.

It is impossible to predict the outcome of this match with certainty. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have very strong squads this season. And they're playing pretty well. Arsenal have won two out of three matches and shared the points with Fulham in the last match. Manchester United, on the other hand, have won two out of three. However, the team conceded a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham. Among the teams that Manchester United have played against so far, Tottenham have been the strongest. And Manchester United lost points in this match. And so I have considerable doubts whether they can win against Arsenal. Personally, my favorite team in this match is Arsenal. Maybe Arsenal will win or the match will be a draw.
774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 28, 2023, 06:27:12 PM


U're absolutely right. The decision for a fighter like Tank Davis to move up in weight or engage in a high-stakes fight involves careful consiideration of various factors. Maintaining an undefeated record is often a point of pride and a marketing asset for fighters, and they may be cautious about risking it in a matchup that could potentially disrupt their current trajectory.

Weight class changes can impact a fighter's style and performances, so choosing the right weight class or catch weight is crucial. It's also important to consider the strategic advantages and disadvantages of facing different opponents. Both Tank Davis and Inoue possess distinct fighting strengths, and any potential match between them would undoubtedly generate significant attention due to their popularity and skills.

Ultimately, these decisions often came down to a combination of factors including financial incentives, legacy-building, risk assessment, and personal ambition. It's a dynamic landscape in the world of boxing, and fans eagerly await the choices fighters make as they progress in their careers.

In due time, I believe it will happen but for the meantime, it's understandable that both named boxers are going on a separate way because they are on a different weight class. Also, we've known Tank Davis, he is not the kind of boxer who is welcome to accept the fact that he might not be on the upper hand, including his camp and Al Haymon.

They will do everything in their power to secure a fight that will give them advantages and not the opposite, that is why it's kind of impossible that a fight between Inoue and Tank will happen at 130 lbs or even a catchweight lower than 135. You see, even at 135, they are still doing some ridiculous clauses like his recent fight against Garcia.

Sometimes I actually do not understand why fighters want to move around the weight classes. Instead, it will be better to stick to one and get really good at that certain class. I understand that it is not that simple and there are a lot of things going on. But for the most amount of success for any fighter, it is better to fight his whole life, in only one weight class. However my knowledge is not too good so probably that is not the best way for a fighter to approach his career.

I also support the fact that a fighter is going to go into a fight, knowing that he has the advantage. Either physically or mentally. It is definitely not a good idea for a fighter to go into a fight, knowing/thinking that he might lose. That is not a healthy weight for a fighter to think.

Liverpool was just showing its true form as a world class club. There have been some players that helped liverpool to leave from a lot of pressures by newcastle.
Alison has been making so many great saves against newcastle, the amazing safe when he was blocking almiron's shoot. Nunez was coming at the late game but this guy was changing everything with the help of salah.
There must be also some evaluations for van dijk and arnold. These guys must able to control their emotion even better since those were doing unnecessary things against newcastle. Endo was not able helping the club to dominate the midfield.
Tonalli and gordon have been making liverpool can do nothing other than defend. The good thing is when howe decided to replace tonalli and gordon.
The quality from the players were dropping so hard, the defensive lines become inconsistent. The decision to replace tonalli and gordon have been destroying the tempo that already built since the first half.
The point is that Newcastle's offensive line was far superior to Liverpool's defensive line in terms of speed, and when a defender can't keep up with an attacker, all he can do to stop him is to foul.

Liverpool played well in general but their problem last season was that they weren't consistent, frequent fluctuations in the game led to them failing to achieve their goals and not being able to get into the Champions League. It's a pity that a team like Liverpool won't be able to play in the Champions League this season, but it should allow them to make the Premier League their main target for this season.

Liverpool's performances last season were poor and erratic. Because of this they cannot be in the top four of the table and cannot qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool management has tried their best to strengthen their squad this season. But I don't think they have succeeded enough. Liverpool may have won two out of three matches, but I haven't seen a very strong performance from them.

Liverpool were lucky to beat Newcastle. I saw Liverpool's performance in the first half. Their performance was very poor. We have seen the power of Newcastle in this match. But Nunez's performance at the end of the match surprised everyone. Nunez scored two consecutive goals to give Liverpool a victory.

I think maybe China has its own reasons to stop it, on the one hand I also don't really like the media which sometimes often makes news with clickbait titles to make the crypto market fall, since long ago I was a person who never cared about any news about China banning crypto or bitcoin, it doesn't matter in my opinion because without them bitcoin and crypto are still going on.

The same goes for casinos, even though it might affect it a little but I don't think overall gambling activities in the world will stop, everything will go on as usual, it's just that Chinese people can't play gambling and have fun anymore because the government took away their rights, but I also don't understand the steps they take there may be other things that we don't understand so I don't want to go too deep into blaming them for that.  Wink

I think this decision is taken to reduce gambling addiction. I honestly do not know about this in depth. But I personally think that when gambling is allowed in a country, the money sometimes gets laundered between different channels and gambling houses and casinos can actually invade the tax. Probably that’s why the decision was taken. But I am just assuming it, but this is a bold decision taken by the Chinese government. Of course, the Chinese government must have a plan in mind for which they have taken this decision. But my opinion is they could set limitations or license systems rather than shutting down totally.

What can you say though about Robert Helenius being tested positive for a ban substance when he fought Joshua. If we can recall, it was supposedly Dillian Whyte as the original opponent of AJ but he was tested as well.

Quote
As just confirmed by Matchroom Boxing, Robert Helenius was found to have an adverse finding during a drug test leading into his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua. Matchroom’s statement indicates that Helenius was tested by VADA the day before his fight with Anthony Joshua on August 12, but that they were just made aware of the finding today.

https://www.badlefthook.com/2023/8/25/23846579/robert-helenius-tests-positive-banned-substance-leading-into-anthony-joshua-fight-boxing-news-2023

But as usual Helenius says that he hasn't done any drugs and that he is innocent of what has been accused of him and he also said that he is not a cheater as he has been tested throughout his career.


If he was not under any kind of influence, how can he get tested positive though? And I think everyone is going to say that they are not under any kind of influence/taken drugs ever. But they are also getting tested positive.

So I don’t think it is actually a very good idea for anyone to actually trust what they are saying about, not doing any kind of drugs or taking any performance-enhancing substance. I am not trying to disrespect any fighter. I am just trying to say that this has happened before and this is also definitely the only way to prove if he is taking anything or not.

In the beginning, when I first discovered Bitcoin, I attempted to explain its concept to my friends. Unfortunately, back then, none of them showed any interest. However, just 3 days ago, when we gathered again, they noticed the progress I've made. They are now aware of my continued involvement with Bitcoin and regret not paying attention earlier. They express a desire to get involved, but the high volatility of the market makes them hesitant to take the plunge. However, I haven't extended any offers to involve them in my workers.

I also have a few friends like that, and I think you and I are not alone in this situation. Many people missed out, and now they want to start getting involved with bitcoin. But honestly, I don't want to give advice to anyone, especially friends because I don't want our friendship to involve money. If I give advice and their investment succeeds nothing will happen, but if their investment fails they will blame and my friendship will be broken. Moreover, knowledge about bitcoin is not too difficult to find, if really want they can find it easily on the internet, I just provide more knowledge, I will never give any advice related to investment.

This is a very epic comeback. In my opinion, it must be admitted that in the second half, Man United's game was really cool. The pattern of the game changes very clearly, one or two touch passes are also fun to watch. As soon as Bruno Fernandes became MOTM in that match, he really deserved it because he is everywhere and he is also a hard worker so that in that match he gave 100% of his abilities for Man United.

Antony also looks very good, this is unusual when he plays, he has a lot of variations in building attacks. The entry of players like Lindelof brought calm to the Man United defense. And the most interesting thing for me is Rashford, he played very well and was even able to stab into the opponent's defense and even resulted in a penalty for Man United.
I agree it was an epic comeback from Manchester United after trailing two quick goals from Nottingham in the first 5 minutes. But anyway I think Manchester United made a big mistake in the first half which they shouldn't have made. Even without the penalty and Nottingham's red card, I don't know what the best scenario is to win that game.

Manchester United finally managed to win this game in the end, which is certainly a good thing after a disappointing last week. I was really expecting a good improvement from Manchester United this season after Ten Hag managed to end the season in the top 4 last season. Manchester United deserves to compete for titles instead of competing for top 4.

Manchester United were very lucky so they won the match. I am not satisfied with Manchester United's gameplay. Manchester United conceded two stupid goals in just 4 minutes. This is not the kind of performance we want to see from a team like United. However, Manchester United's squad is still quite weak. Despite having many star players in the team, they are not performing well. Looking forward to see how United perform against Arsenal in the upcoming match.
 
United needed an experienced striker this season. But United coach Ten Hag has picked a young striker like Rasmus Hojlund. I look forward to seeing if Hojlund is able to perform well. But I think bringing Hojlund into the team is a bad investment for United this season.

Real Sociedad did not start the season well last season. However, their performance towards the end of the season was quite good. At the beginning of this season, Real Sociedad's opponents were relatively weak. Their opponents Girona, Celta Vigo and Las Palmas in the first three matches are not strong teams. Even then, Real Sociedad drew all three matches. Such was their performance. Palmas players performed better than Sociedad in today's match as well. I'm happy killing if palmas could have won today. The team was able to dominate the match. I was very disappointed with Sociedad's performance. We don't expect such a poor performance from this team.
Yes we don't expect poor performance from the Real Sociedad team, although they are still got points but one point from every match, is not a good result. They must be able to get full points in the next match if they don't want to be far behind their competitors in the league, although on paper Real Sociedad should be able to get full points against Granada, but I'm afraid Granada team can make a surprise with a draw too.

Real Sociedad's performance against Girona in the first match was quite good. They were able to attack a lot and their overall gameplay was very good. But Sociedad's performance was not good in the next two matches against Celta Vigo and Las Palmas. Real Sociedad had a very weak and slow performance.

Real Sociedad Renowned team in La Liga. They have a strong enough squad. However, their performance this season has been poor. They drew in all three matches and scored just two goals. If this performance continues, Sociedad will be defeated in upcoming matches against Granada and Real Madrid. It will be difficult for Sociedad to finish in the top 6 of the table.
