300 used to be a daunting target in the last decade but not in recent times, especially on the flat decks.

This scoreline might look good, considering the Afghans were up against a quality bowling lineup but IMO they wasted a good start and they had a chance to touch a 320-ish target.

So, not sure if it's a winning score and it shouldn't be too tough for Pakistan. Unless the spin trio comes to the rescue again.
I saw the condition of the pitch, it is not possible to say whether the collection of 300 runs is enough to win on this pitch. However, Afghanistan's performance was very slow at the beginning of the innings. They collected only 86 runs in the first 20 overs. They collected 227 runs in the first wicket pair. After such a big collection in the first pair, I thought the team would deliver a target of more than 320. As still several experienced batsmen will get a chance to bat. But in the end their innings stopped at 300 runs.

Pakistan bowled well in the death overs. In the last 10 overs, perhaps Afghanistan managed to collect 74 runs. Rahmanullah Girbaz played an excellent innings of 151 runs. He collected 151 runs off 151 balls. However, it is difficult to win against a team like Pakistan, given a target of 301 runs on a flat pitch.

As Afghanistan's opening pair have batted brilliantly, they should have at least given a target of more than 320/330. 300 runs is not enough to win yet. If the bowlers perform well, a win of 300 runs is possible. But the problem is that Pakistan's batsmen are very experienced. Pakistan's batsmen will take advantage of such a flat pitch very well. Afghanistan's bowlers are talented enough but they are unlikely to do well against Pakistan's batsmen.

Pakistan batsmen are batting very carefully. They collected only 23 runs in 5 overs. They know very well that they will have no problem winning this match if they don't lose quick wickets. This is why they are batting slowly even though the target is big.

Indeed, Real did look unlucky with several players who suffered injuries. But during the opening of the season they didn't struggle too much with losing players who left or injuries. But if Anceloti wants to have many titles, of course I feel less sure. They don't have enough balanced players. Indeed, Bellingham's arrival became a common medicine. Another hope was Guller, but he was still injured. Anceloti has worked hard to form a team, but Anceloti seems to be limited by the team's financial condition.
The Ultimate priority is to lift the La Liga and UEFA Champions League trophy this season. With the arrival of new players, Los Blancos are not relenting, rather they got good form this season. Real Madrid seems affected by the severe injuries on their crucial players but with the present performance, they rapidly improved in their games. I would say they're on streak winnings this season without any form of weaknesses currently.  Carlo Ancelotti holding good formation on his winning team, he will get things together and probably execute solid projects for the club.

Real Madrid have started the season very well. Real Madrid's main rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have failed to win their first two matches. But Madrid are top of the table after winning both matches. Bellingham is performing well. Ancelotti's match strategy is helping Real Madrid to maintain consistency and keep performance stable. Joselu was brought in by Real Madrid as a replacement for Benzema. We have yet to see a better performance from Joselu. However, Madrid's overall performance is very good. Madrid boss Ancelotti has made changes to his match tactics and formation. However, this time, Madrid will be aiming to win the La Liga title. Because they did not win the title in the last season. If the performance can be maintained, it will be possible for Madrid to win the title.

I see Harry Kane's harmony with his teammates and I feel like he will adapt to the team quickly. For Harry Kane, the Bundesliga may not be a complete measure of performance. I wonder what he can do at UCL. I would love to watch him perform at the top level at UCL. I hope he doesn't get injured like KDB and stay away for a long time.
It can be seen that during his first training with Bayern Munich he really enjoyed it and even now he is certainly closer to establishing chemistry with the other players. The UCL competition maybe for Harry Kane is an opportunity to show he is in the right team and he is definitely aiming for more when he is with Bayern Munich. Injury might be very fatal if it happened in his first season defending Bayern Munich and I also hope that Harry Kane will not be injured this season because the current competition, either the Bundesliga or UCL, is very important to pump up his career with Bayern Munich.
Harry Kane needed without a doubt a new team for him,I mean a new stronger team than Tottenham and Bayern Munchen surely is much stronger and they usually go further in the Champions League.I think Kane is a great addition to Bayern line up and we will see during the course of time that it was the right choice both for Bayern Munchen and both for Kane,they will mutually benefit from each other.It is also time Kane enjoys a title win and with Bayern this is much closer than it was the Premier League with Tottenham as Kane is a great player so it was as I said the right choice.

After Lewandowski left the team, we saw Bayern Munich's weak attack. Sadio Mane was added to the squad as a replacement for Lewa. But he could not perform well. This is why Harry Kane has been added to the squad this season. If Kane settles into the team, he could be a worthy replacement for Lewandowski. I would even say that Harry Kane might be able to perform better than Lewa with the Bayern Munich squad. Kane scored a goal and an assist in his first Bundesliga match. The start was pretty good. If this trend continues, Munich's performance will remain stable. And the team will be able to dominate in the Champions League as well.

As one matures, their ability to make wiser decisions tends to grow. There's absolutely nothing amiss about imparting knowledge of Bitcoin to individuals aged 50 or above; they still have the potential to spring surprises despite the advancing years.

In fact, you might even come across someone akin to a superior version of John McAfee. Individuals as senior as he was have demonstrated the capacity to send shockwaves through the market and wield significant influence over its fluctuations. Let's not dwell on the negatives associated with his actions; rather, let's contemplate the prowess of the older generation in stirring things up within the realm of crypto. This signifies their possession of substantial power.


What about 70-80 year olds? I remember there was a member on our forum with the username @Jet Cash and he was over 80 years old but still a passionate bitcoin investor. He even inspires young investors with his great bitcoin knowledge. So I think bitcoin is for everyone, regardless of skin color, rich or poor, young or old...as long as they also have a passion for bitcoin. All have a right to know about bitcoin.

Moreover, older people are usually more serious in their decisions, once they have liked bitcoin, they will be more enthusiastic than younger people, young people are adventurous, but sometimes their stance is uncertain.
185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin Instead of Gold? on: August 22, 2023, 09:24:36 AM
your explanation does make sense too, because if we had both of course it would be even better, but what the op asked in my opinion is this, why do people prefer btc over gold? yes, personally, of course, I prefer BTC because investing in BTC can potentially get large profit, but if investing in both, namely BTC and gold, of course it's better because we can potentially get maximum benefits.
Great rewards only come to those who take significant risks, and Bitcoin carries greater risks than gold. However, it's important to note that one can easily stumble into high-risk investments. The primary purpose of diversifying assets into Bitcoin and gold is to mitigate risk, essentially preventing sudden financial downfall.

Bitcoin and gold come with distinct strengths and weaknesses, making a direct comparison between the two quite peculiar. It's like comparing the purchase of meat and fish. Both are valuable, and I find merit in both for certain allocations.

Diversification does not help us get the maximum profit, but only helps us to reduce risk, so depending on the risk tolerance of each person, there is the most suitable option. When we have $100k and invest $50k in bitcoin and $50k in gold, gold doesn't fluctuate too much, how can we get the maximum return if compared to the investment 100k dollars into bitcoin?

Because I don't have a lot of money, investing in gold for me is a barrier to increasing profits. So I will accept the risk when investing in bitcoin. Although the risk will be higher, but if successful, my profit will be maximum than investing in gold.

Sevilla Vs Deportivo alaves
The sevilla vs deportivo alaves match that will take place today looks sure to be a good exciting game between the two teams. As both teams are at the very bottom of the table points at the start of the new season. Both teams have lost at the start of the season, which has left them yet to collect any points in the table. However, in today's match, it is likely that Sevilla will win, and it cannot be said for sure. If today's match is a draw between the two teams then they will not collect a good position in the points table, but if either team wins then they can take a good position in the points table.
Yes, the match will be very exciting, but we are still in the early stages, and the teams need to shape up their gameplay. We've witnessed Sevilla's performance in the Super Cup, while sevilla boasts a strong defense and a distinctive attack, led by Youssef En Nesyri. However, Bono's absence from the lineup is unfortunate. What's peculiar about Sevilla is that they tend to perform somewhat poorly in the domestic league but deliver good performances in European competitions.
Op
Sevilla is trailing by an early goal in the match.
We are enjoying a great match. This is a very exciting match. We saw four goals in the first half. At the end of the first half, the match is tied at 2-2.

I thought Alaves was a weak team. And Sevilla will have no problem winning this match. But Alaves is doing great in this match. Alaves took the lead in just 7 minutes with Luis Rioja's goal. But in the 15th minute, Abqar's mistake sent Alaves into their own net and the match was drawn 1-1. Alaves conceded another goal in the 41st minute. But they equalized the match in just 3 minutes. I think the second half will be more exciting. A few more goals are likely to be seen. Because both teams are playing attacking strategy.

Sevilla's performance today also disappointed me. I thought they lost against Valencia in the first match but they can make up for their mistakes in today's match. And see their performance improve further. So I bet Sevilla to win today's match. I made a big mistake today.

At the end of the first half, the match was tied at 2-2. Sevilla's dominance in the second half was expected but their performance was weaker. The performance of Alaves players was excellent. Alaves showed dominance in the second half. And finally won the match 4-2. It was not easy to score 4 goals against Sevilla. Alaves performance impressed me today.

It startled me how badly Chelsea fell to West Ham. Chelsea was supposed to be the better competitor after signing new players and hiring Pochettino. However, the scores showed otherwise. And that West Ham beat Chelsea despite without a player? I cant comprehend it. I havent watched much West Ham this season, but they were good last year. I think Chelsea's upcoming games, especially against Luton Town, have good comeback chances. Missing this chance makes me wonder how long Pochettino will stay at the club. Its all confusing.
I think if Chelsea can't win against Luton Town this weekend, then Pochettino is really under pressure. With the composition of the players currently owned, I think it will be very easy for Chelsea to reap the full points. However, seeing the defeat to West Ham yesterday, it was difficult for me to predict it. Chelsea could lose when the West Ham squad was short on players, which was very surprising.

Hopefully Thiago Silva and his friends can help Chelsea achieve their first win in the EPL, so that Pochettino is out of pressure.

you are right The team has lost points in two consecutive matches. A draw with Liverpool and a 3-1 defeat against West Ham. Chelsea will play at home against Luton in the next match. Luton is relatively weak. Coach Pochettino will be under pressure if Chelsea fails to get 3 points in this match as well.

Chelsea may not win. But we must admit that their match strategy was not bad, if we compare with last season. But Chelsea's defense is weak. And Chelsea's poor defense we saw in the pre-season matches as well. Chelsea management should have bought the experienced defender. And trying to tighten up the defense. But they don't do it. I would say if Chelsea only tighten up their defense their performance will stabilize and be able to play well against the bigger teams.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 21, 2023, 02:10:00 PM
I guess everyone here can relate on chasing our losses even if we have like a losing streak already, but we keep on depositing and thinking that we can win and at least cover that loses and suddenly it pile up already that you can't get out and trap and instead of recovering, you lose more money.

Which results in some anxiety attacks on you and in your health and question yourself whether you should have stop already and not chase that lost.

Those are typical scenarios for me and for the rest of us. But it's really hard to control that emotions though as you want to play and think that you can make a big comeback, but it was a wrong decision 99.99% of the time.

Well, maybe if you did not waste your money on gambling you wouldn’t have faced a situation like that in the first place. First of all, I do not understand why poor people gamble. I don’t see gambling as anything else than a way of entertainment.

But let’s say that rich people who have a lot of money decide to gamble. They do have money to throw around. So probably they can actually afford to give away money without having any problems. But my biggest issue is when people decide to gamble so that they can have a good living. If one does not possess opulence akin to Elon Musk or Dana White, it would be prudent to steer clear of gambling.

UAE need 45 runs from last two overs. They lost 4 wickets. I wouldn't say that UAE played badly today. But they will fail to win today's match. It is not possible for UAE players to collect 45 runs in 2 overs. However, UAE would lose the series 2-1. However, the performance of the UAE players was excellent. They played very well. Their performance has improved. Now the UAE team has now proved that they are capable of defeating a big team like New Zealand. However, New Zealand should have dominated and won the series. But they were not able to dominate even in a single match. Not sure if they can do well in the upcoming ODI World Cup.
New Zealand won the match by 32 runs and with this the series is won by New Zealand 2-1. Lack of experience was seen with the UAE players. Anyhow the UAE team winning a match in the series is a big achievement for now. Players should practice to be on the crease to stand wickets and then go for big shots than going for big shots from the beginning. Team performance have increased and New Zealand will correct itself. In all the three matches played against New Zealand toss is won by UAE and they choose to bowl in all the three matches.
New Zealand must be congratulated for winning the series. But I think in the last match of the t-20 series, if UAE had batted first, it might have been better for UAE. United Arab Emirates could not strengthen the bowling lineup in this last match. Poor bowling by UAE helped New Zealand score a decent total. In terms of United Arab Emirates batting, no one could play well except Aayan Khan
In all the three matches UAE won the toss and decided to bowl. Maybe they could've tried a different strategy in one of the match. I think UAE team is more confident with their batting line-up, which is why they choose to bowl first and chase the target. The target in every match was not that big. If few players had contributed surely UAE could've won the series. Anyhow there is improvement with the team, lack of experience can be seen much on UAE. The matches played against New Zealand could've given the entire UAE team big experience and the confidence to play against leading teams.
Although they are very confident with their batting, it must be said that their bowlers have performed well in this series. New Zealand could only score 155 runs against UAE bowlers in the first match, 142 runs in the second match and 166 runs in the third match New Zealand scored a lot more runs against the UAE bowlers. Since UAE had more confidence in their own batsmen, that confidence should have led them to win the first match as the target was not that high for them in the first match. Three matches UAE won the toss and in the first match they didn't succeed by choosing to field first but in the second match they were successful by choosing to field first because of the success of the second match maybe they decided to field first again in the third match but the third match was theirs. Things did not go as planned which resulted in them losing the first and third matches. Despite not winning the series against New Zealand, winning a match is a huge achievement for the United Arab Emirates.

I would say UAE players played well in every match of the series. New Zealand is a top team. The UAE players were very confident when performing against such a team. We are seeing improvement in UAE players both in batting and bowling. The performance of their bowlers in particular was controlled. In every match, we have seen erratic performances from the New Zealand batsmen. I thought this series will be dominated by New Zealand players. But they have completely failed to dominate.

UAE's batting line-up needs improvement. Their batsmen are quite talented. But the batsmen are not experienced enough for international matches. I would say if the UAE board organizes more international matches then maybe their players will become more experienced. And will be able to perform better in the future.

New Zealand vs UAE

I am very interested in the third match of New Zealand vs UAE. New Zealand won the first match. However, the New Zealand team was badly defeated in the second match. I don't think New Zealand have been able to perform very well today. New Zealand managed to collect 166 runs after losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. Both Young and Chapman managed to score half-centuries. If the performance of the UAE batsmen continued in the second match, it would not have been easy for New Zealand to win.

Mohammed jawadullah bowled controlled in today's match as well. Also Junaid Siddique's bowling was quite good today. Now waiting to see how UAE's top order performs today. If the top order batsmen play well, they have a chance of winning the match.
The UAE team is batting very well with a target of 167 runs. However, they lost the wicket of Mohammad Washeem by just 8 runs. Even then they managed to collect 25 runs in 4 overs. The target is 167 runs. UAE need to score more than 8 runs per over if they want to win. If the pair of Aryansh Sharma and Arvind are able to perform well then the UAE team is likely to win.
In the second match, we did not see a good performance from the New Zealand bowlers. That's why I don't believe in the performance of the New Zealand bowlers even though the target is big enough. But I think it is possible to win easily by giving a target of 167 runs to control bowling.

UAE need 45 runs from last two overs. They lost 4 wickets. I wouldn't say that UAE played badly today. But they will fail to win today's match. It is not possible for UAE players to collect 45 runs in 2 overs. However, UAE would lose the series 2-1. However, the performance of the UAE players was excellent. They played very well.

Opening match of Serie A will begin today and promotion team Frosinone against the defend of winner last season Napoli, its difficult for promotion team have face with favorite team for winning Scudetto in this season Napoli but many change of squad list in this season looks Napoli is not really as favorite teams. Last season, Frosinone have impressive performance in Serie B after success become the winner and leaded table standings position with 7 points left from Genoa.
Not easily for predicting opening match actually Napoli is not full composition, Napoli leaves by Min-jae Kim after joining Bayern Munich and he has been crucial player on defender success help  I Partenopei winning Scudetto last season.
Like you rightly say, it's not easy to predict opening match of a league campaign but I think Napoli are going to start their title defense with a comfortable win against Frosinone.
There's been a lot of talk about Napoli and dissatisfaction of the club fans with the departure of their former manager Luciano Spalletti from the club after helping them win the scudetto last season. It's time for Rudi Garcia to prove his doubters wrong and deliver a great season for Napoli and that must start with a win in their opening match of the season
There is no doubt that Luciano Spalletti was an excellent coach. Napoli dominated Serie A last season under Luciano Spalletti. The team was able to maintain consistency throughout the season. And they won the Serie A title quite comfortably. That's why Luciano Spalletti's departure from Napoli surprised fans. Had Luciano Spalletti, Napoli's performance would have been stable this season as well.
We still don't know how Garcia will do. But Garcia has a chance to prove his worth. Napoli are likely to do well, as their squad is still strong enough. And Napoli doesn't seem to have any problem winning against a weak team like Frosinone in the first match.
Isn't this an easy judgment call when made retrospectively? You say that there is no doubt Spalletti was an excellent coach, but that's easy to say when the performance has been done and the evaluation happens in hindsight. I think Rudi Garcia deserves a chance. Napoli isn't Real Madrid or Manchester City, clubs for which it is easy to sign huge coaches with names like Ancelotti, Guardiola etc. Napoli isn't there yet. They need to find a coach that seems promising to them but at the same time is also willing to make Napoli his first choice. Maybe in one year from now we will also say that Rudi Garcia was an excellent coach.

We don't know yet if Garcia is a good coach. Garcia has to prove it. But there is no doubt that Spalletti was an excellent coach. Napoli management should have tried to give Spalletti one more season. Trying to keep him as a coach. However, Garcia will have to prove how it is.

Now Napoli is playing against Forsinone. Napoli lead 2-1 at the end of the first half. Frosinone is not a strong team. And it was definitely predicted that Napoli would win this match. In the first half, the Napoli players showed a very stable performance. Now waiting to see how they perform in the second half. But whether Rudi Garcia's match strategy is effective will be seen after watching Napoli's performance against the big teams.

He's arguably one of the smartest men in the world. I don't think he has any interest in buying Twitter and satisfying his personal tastes. However, there is something wrong and Twitter is losing value all the time. I think if Twitter, like YouTube, shared its revenues with content creators, things could be good again. Elon Musk should change the selfish nature of Twitter and put less restrictions on users. If he doesn't have any other ideas, he can make things right again by taking these simple measures.

I am not sure about this. First of all, Twitter generates only a fraction of the revenue that YouTube generates. So it is not an apple to apple comparison. The argument that Twitter is losing its value doesn't sound accurate for me. The market-share is there and nothing is going to change that. Even Zuckerberg with his Threads failed in capturing the market share from Twitter, despite having overwhelming support from the ecosystem. And don't ever underestimate Elon Musk. He is the world's richest man for a reason.

Today is the first day people receive money from Twitter's revenue sharing policy, I am seeing people showing off the money they received from Elon. Although the amount is not too large, it shows that Elon is gradually reshaping this social network and I believe it is gradually becoming more complete. Unlike a lot of people who are criticizing him for killing Twitter, on the contrary, what I find is that it is becoming more attractive.

You are right, if he is not intelligent and talented, how can he be the wealthiest man in the world? But funny is that there are a lot of idiots out there who are jealous of him and always speak badly of him.

Batting in the first innings of India vs Ireland, Ireland scored 139 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. However, India came out to bat in the second innings and batted brilliantly to reach their winning target. But the match was called off due to rain starting just as India scored 47 runs even though it was still raining. So if today's match is not rained then DLS method will do for India. It may be difficult for India to win if they do DLS Method but if they can perform then they can win the match.

The match was delayed due to rain. And India won by DLS method. India won the first match of the series. But I am not happy with India's performance. Ireland was not a big team. And very quickly India managed to take 5 wickets of Ireland. Perhaps Ireland lost 5 wickets for 31 runs. Still, Ireland managed to set a target of 140 runs. I would say Ireland played very well. Even after losing 5 batsmen for just 31 runs, the players did not lose confidence. Although the Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly at the beginning of the innings, they could not maintain this consistency.

I am not satisfied with India's batting. Even if the opponents were Afghanistan or Bangladesh, I would have said that India batted quite well. But against Ireland's inexperienced bowlers they lost 2 wickets to collect only 47 runs. Of course, our expectations are always high from a big team like India.

The reality of everything is that you should have a side job that won't require you to tamper with your bitcoin investment. There is a chance that you will be forced to sell your bitcoin assets whether you make a profit or not when you actually have no other source of income and your country's poor economy is severely affecting you. In these circumstances, selling your bitcoin is the only option. I stated this because I've been in a scenario like this before, and I understand what it's like when someone needs something personally and has no other way to acquire or solve them. The only available course of action for him will be to sell his bitcoin assets

That is one smart thing to do, look for side jobs that can augment your other expenses.
If you think your main job is not sufficient, better get one. As it will help you in achieving some of your goals,
not relying entirely from your main job. It will also give you room to consider some long-term investments.
This economic conditions may further worsen, so you need to prepare yourself for the worst, and not
rely from government help because you can't expect them to address each and every need of their citizen.

But the bigger problem that many people are facing is that with the current economic crisis, even the main job is difficult to keep, let alone find a side job. I think everyone realizes that having a part-time job will get them out of a bad economic situation. But like in our country, a series of companies went bankrupt, and many businesses cut workers, how did they get extra jobs? Saying and doing are two completely different things, and it is not as easy as we think.
I don't know about other countries, but in my country it's hard to find a job, thousands of workers are unemployed these days.

Looking at the conditions last season now I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will be able to dominate the game on the field, but well I can't fully believe in this prediction because as we know Bayern Munich are now solving some problems in their squad for some lines that are still empty, Tuchel has managed to get the striker he wants, Kane and honestly I agree with what you say it is very likely that Kane will get a lot of pressure on the field later. Although he is a quality striker but still that cannot be guaranteed when playing with his new squad, he is still new there and doesn't really know about some of the strategies that Tuchel used to play with all his old players. Honestly, I'm quite worried about Kane, with such a short adaptation time I'm afraid Kane can't perform optimally there. but yes there is nothing he can do except live it with enthusiasm.
I hope Kane doesn't find any difficulties there and hopefully he can fulfill the expectations of Bayern Munich fans including his new manager by perhaps scoring many goals for the victory of his new club.
Bayern's luck at the Weserstadion is very good. Bayern Munich have defeated Werder Bremen in their last 8 matches at this stadium. And no match is drawn. Munich dominated every match and won by big margins. Also the Bremen team is not very strong. It is highly unlikely that they will be able to take extra facilities and play well in home matches.
However, Bayern Munich have several weaknesses within their squad. Their attack was strong, and after the addition of Harry Kane, the attack got even stronger. However, Munich's defense is not very strong. I saw the team lose badly against Leipzig. Munich have also won friendly matches, but their defensive weaknesses have been well exposed. Munich conceded 3 goals against Liverpool, 2 goals against Monaco and 3 goals against Leipzig. And it has become very important to strengthen their defense.
Their defense is a threat to themselves, because we know that they have not been able to make their defense more solid, and in fact it happens every season, it's just that it's covered because they can create more goals than the number they concede. This season will be a different one as they are working with a new striker. And once again we see an obvious weakness in their defense after they lost badly to Lepzig in their Super Cup match.
Either way, Tucel will have to quickly solve his problems within the squad, as it's a very vulnerable position.

Tuchel needs to strengthen his team's defense before the start of the season. He has to come up with a change in match strategy. If the defence is not strong, the team may lose dominance in the Bundesliga.

There is no doubt that Werder Bremen is a weak team. Munich is more likely to win this match easily. But if Bremen somehow manage to score the first goal of the match, it will be very difficult for Munich to win this match. Because, if Bremen can score the first goal, then they will play completely defensively. All 10 players of the team will play the role of defender. It becomes much more difficult for any team to score when the opponent plays defensively.

-snip-
Professional gamblers will bet on every match. And they will take risks. They love to take risks. Maybe win or lose money, they have no regrets.
I never thought the same, a professional gambler should only bet on games he thinks has a good chance of making a profit. Betting on all matches is not the best way to say they are professionals, but it is gamblers who forget that doing so can increase the risk of losing more.

Maybe you are right. But I have seen many rich gamblers who bet on all kinds of games. Even if they are not well informed about the game, they do not hesitate to bet. Even seen many who bet on every match of La Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League and Ligue 1 and Serie A. They don't even enjoy these matches.



I am not very rich. So I bet very carefully. I am willing to bet on Napoli, Inter Milan and AS Roma to win. In these three matches Napoli, Inter and Roma opponents are quite weak. Their chances of defeat are very low. Also Fiorentina vs. Geona and Atalanta vs. Sassuolo matches are more likely to draw for me. I still can't decide whether to bet on these two matches. After seeing the starting XI of these teams I will take the betting decision.
You don't need to bet on every game to win, but you do need to adapt your betting needs to a number of matches that you find interesting. I think it's good if you bet on the games you watch, it's a fun way to enjoy the game. But this varies from gambler to gambler, especially if you are gambling only for money.

I mostly bet on the matches of my favorite team. Or matches where I am more than 70% sure that my favorite team will win. I am very conscious of placing bets or spending money. Even then, I have lost money in betting many times. Since I don't invest a lot of money in bets, I don't suffer much loss even if I lose money. I gamble only for pleasure. It is just a game for me.

Bellaaaaaaaa Cheesy we start again!! and we start again to bet Smiley

Frosinone 17:30 Napoli
Lecce 19:45 Lazio
Bologna 19:45 AC Milan

i bet on 2-2-2 result (all guest lol) Napoli - Lazio - Milan
my weekly 2euro
I also paid attention to the Lecce - Lazio match, the odds for Lazio to win 2.1 are not bad, but Lecce has not been the most convenient opponent for Lazio over the past few years. Juventus against Udinese also has a good odd 1.92 and in this match the chances seem to me to be not bad either. It will be a tour of away victories, or we may see a lot of unexpected results from the first round..  Cheesy
It seems like a good choice and I'd probably do the same but with a parlay bet. Because yes, if I also consider about other clubs such as Juventus, AS Roma and maybe also Atalanta. Although they also have a chance to win but yes, because I consider their opponents also at least quite often make surprises. So at least, for the three teams such as Juventus, AS Roma and Atalanta does not seem inappropriate if included in parlay betting.
But yes, if you just want to do a single bet, then it seems like you will comfortably choose everything too and there is nothing wrong too. But perhaps, for AS Roma it still seems to have a better chance of winning compared to Atalanta and Juventus. Because after all, AS Roma will be playing at home and it should be for Mourinho to be able to give AS Roma get first win in the start of the season.

Kane's transfer is too close to the season. We cannot blame him. He did his best. He didn't even have time to rest. He went to the club and checked his health, and had to play. If Bayern Munich did not hesitate in the transfer window, Maybe we'll see different results.We can give Kane and Tuchel more time, don't pressure them both because they're under a lot of pressure.
There is still plenty of time for Kane and Tuchel because for now maybe all of them in the Bayern Munich team are making sufficient preparations to face every game this season in the Bundesliga. And then it will also make a better focus on the Champions League because Tuchel's own target is to bring Bayern Munich into a strong team this season with several player changes. So in general there is obviously still a lot of time for Tuchel and Kane.
Bayern Munich will play their first match at the start of the season and there is still plenty of time for them as Tuchl prepares well to face every game at the start of the season. This season Tuchl has transformed Bayan Munich and built a strong team.  Bremen will face Bayern Munich with this strong team at the beginning of the season in the Bundesliga. After the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayan Munich this season, Tuchel wants to be in a good position this season with Harry Kane and some other good stars. There are still a few days to go before the start of the season and Bayern Munich have plenty of time to prepare and will go into the field stronger than ever.
Let's wait and see their match results this weekend. Thomas Tuchel will find a way to promote the team's strength. Has Kane integrated into the team yet? And most of all, all the pressure is on Kane's shoulders. If he plays well, everything is as normal as ever. But if Kane plays poorly, he has to bear it all. And then, Tuchel will be the first to suffer the consequences. Not only that but if Bayern Munich loses, I bet Kane and Tuchel will be criticized for that too.
Bremen will soon host Bayern Munich at Weserstadion, Bayern Munich have a point to prove at Weserstadion, they have won in the last few visits and Bremen themselves have the lowest number of points last season. Looking at the conditions last season now I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will be able to dominate the game on the field, but well I can't fully believe in this prediction because as we know Bayern Munich are now solving some problems in their squad for some lines that are still empty, Tuchel has managed to get the striker he wants, Kane and honestly I agree with what you say it is very likely that Kane will get a lot of pressure on the field later.
