Harry Kane Wants The Ballon d’Or

ballon d'or Harry Kane dreams of the Ballon d’Or! The goal-scoring machine of Tottenham and the English national team has said in an interview that he will give his best to be involved in the fight for the most prestigious individual trophy in the world of football. With the form he is showing, it won’t be a surprising thing if we see Kane’s name on the Golden Ball in one of the next few seasons.

The forward scored 35 goals in all competitions last campaign, but he couldn’t help Spurs win a single trophy. However, Tottenham became the runners-up in The Premier League and again qualified for The Champions League group stage.To continue with, Harry Kane has already given his request for becoming the best striker in The Premier League. He is only 23 years old, but he has already found the net on 78 occasions in the league. Kane has scored 115 goals in all competitions he has taken part in.

However, in order to win an award such as the Ballon d’Or, you must not only score goals, but win competitions with your team. Harry Kane knows this well and that’s why he is giving 100 % for his favourite team – Tottenham. In addition, we have seen an outstanding development by The Spurs, as they have become one of the factors in The English Premier League. It won’t be a surprise if they win the league in at least one of the next few seasons.

“Who doesn’t want to win this golden trophy? That’s the thing I am going for! But, we need to win some big competitions. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Euro 2016 and the Champions League – that’s why he gets the trophy that recent. The situation with Lionel Messi is similar. But you can’t do it by yourself! Winning trophies is team’s job. I hope we can do that with Tottenham, and I want some day to win the Ballon d’Or,” Harry Kane said.

Cristiano Ronaldo | The Hat-trick Hero

Cristiano Ronaldo was again in the spotlight last night when his team Real Madrid smashed Atletico Madrid 3-0. The match was the first leg of the semi-finals in The Champions League. The Portuguese just can’t stop scoring goals. He sets a record after a record. His hat-trick against Atletico was his second consecutive in the Champions League elimination game. Ronaldo also found the net on three occasions in the second leg of the quarterfinals against Bayern Munich. No one else has done it before!

Another proof for Ronaldo’s brilliant form is that he scored 8 goals in his team’s last 3 matches from the Champions League! With his 10 goals in the tournament so far, he has scored 104 goals in The Champions League, which makes him the best goal-scorer of all time in the competition.

The Ronaldo’s third goal against Atletico Madrid was his 400th with Real Madrid’s colours. He joined Los Blancos in 2009 and since then the Portuguese forward has scored 281 goals in the Primera Division, 22 in the Spanish Cup, 88 in the Champions League and 9 in other competitions. Moreover, CR7 is Portugal’s leading top scorer with 71 goals in 138 appearances for his country.

We must admit that his playing style has changed a lot during his professional debut in 2002. He was used as a midfielder or a winger. We used to see magnificent technique, skills, tricks and stunning free-kick. Now we see pragmatism, but we shouldn’t blame him for that. That way, he prolongs his career.

A lot of specialists say that Ronaldo is going to keep that level of performance until the age of 40, because of his great physique. The Portuguese has stopped to take the free-kicks with that unstoppable spin, because it would harm his knee. Cristiano Ronaldo is now 32 years old, so I expect to see him playing for about 8 more years.

Atletico Madrid vs. Leicester City | Champions League Preview

champions league camera The team of Atletico Madrid found a place in the quarterfinals of The Champions League for the 4th consecutive occasion, and the team even reached the final game twice. Los Rojiblancos once again headed towards the most important match in the European club football, but the path to it goes through the sensation of the season – Leicester City.

Even though the manager Claudio Ranieri was sacked, The Foxes managed to avoid relegation and eliminated Sevilla from the competition, finding a place among the best 8 teams in Europe for the first time in their history.

To continue with, before this campaign Leicester City have taken part in the European club competitions on 3 occasions – 2 of which they were eliminated exactly by Atletico Madrid! These two teams have met in season 1961/62 in the Cup Winners’ Cup. The match in England has finished with a 1-1 draw, but the second leg has been won by the Spaniards 2-0.

In 1997, these two teams met in the UEFA Cup, but this time Atletico Madrid won twice to send The Foxes back home. So, Atletico Madrid looks like an unbeatable opponent for Leicester City.
Diego Simeone will play Fernando Torres up front, because Kevin Gameiro is injured. However, the team’s biggest star Antoine Griezmann will be among the starting line-up. The midfield of the Spanish club also looks very impressive. Simeone will probably play Gabi, Koke, Saul Niguez and Ferreira-Carrasco. Juanfran, Godin, Savic and Felipe Luis will start, as usual. Jan Oblak is also fit for the game.

Shakespeare’s main problem is the absence of the captain Wes Morgan, who is injured. However, the captain will travel to Madrid to be with his teammates and to encourage them. The Tunisian defender Benalouane will be the Robert Huth’s partner in defence for the game. I don’t expect Shakespeare do make any other changes from the game against Sevilla.

In conclusion, Leicester City really need to do something extraordinary to knock Atletico Madrid out of the competition. However, I believe they can do it, because they have already shown they can beat anyone and fight for the victory until the very last seconds of the game.

Nainggolan Not Called Up For International Duty

man smoking One of the best central midfielders in the world – Radja Nainggolan hasn’t been called up for the Belgian national team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The manager of the team – Roberto Martinez has said that the reason is that Nainggolan is a smoker.

The midfielder has shown an incredible performance this season, as he has scored 12 goals in all competitions for Roma. Radja Nainggolan was incredible at the European Championship last year, helping his nation reach the quarter finals. However, the former coach of Belgium, Marc Wilmots, had no problems with Nainggolan’s bad habit. Moreover, Wilmots has always booked a room with a balcony, so Nainggolan could smoke on a fresh air.

Radja Nainggolan has scored 6 goals in 26 matches for the Belgian national team. He has been a part of the team since 2009, but now his future with the national team is threatened because of his bad habit. The midfielder has been an integral part of the team of AS Roma since 2014, having spent 4 seasons with The Wolves.

“That’s really strange. I have always been smoking and I have never hidden it. Everybody knows! I understand that this is not a good example, but as a football player I do my job on the pitch. I feel offended not to be in the squad after the strong performance I made at The European Championship last year. I am a very direct person and I can’t hide my disappointment from that decision,” Radja Nainggolan said in an interview.

At both ends, when Radja Nainggolan is on the pitch it’s insensibly that he is a smoker, because he is tireless, running all over the field. He is one of the most hardworking midfielders and Roberto Martinez’ excuse for not calling him up is maybe not the real reason for this action.

In the past, we’ve talked a little bit on this blog about betting on regular sports. As you know, I’m quite the avid football punter, and placing bets from my phone in the pub while watching a game is definitely one of my primary hobbies. However, that doesn’t make it the only one. I’m also a pretty avid gamer who regularly indulges in all sorts of genres, from story-heavy RPGs like “Final Fantasy XV” and “The Witcher III” to online-focused experiences like “DotA 2” and “CS: GO”. At this point, it’s a no-brainer that I’d want to find some way to make my hobbies cross over, and luckily a lot of my favourite betting sites have made that possible by adding the ability to bet on various professional leagues!

Now, whenever people discuss eSport gambling, they typically refer to one of two things – either traditional gambling through a bookmaker where you bet money, or gambling at fansites and non-licensed bookies for in-game items. Fair warning, here I’m only going to be discussing the first type of gambling, because honestly, not only is the second form illegal (with Valve, the developers of many games used for eSports, cracking down on these types of sites), it’s also sometimes a scam – who can forget the infamous incident in which a popular YouTuber promoting a “CS: GO” item gambling site turned out to also own it? Just to remain on the safe side, we’ll stick with proven, licensed bookmakers who are authorized to take these types of bets.

So, let’s say you have a healthy interest in gaming and would like to bet on some games – exactly on what can you place a wager? Well, much like in football, you have different leagues with matches being played by professional teams on a world level. For most games, these leagues are primaries (smaller tournaments which are endorsed by the game’s developers, but not organized by them, such as the Dota 2 Asian Championships), the premiums (much bigger events with very particular qualifications for the competing teams and a huge pricepool, like ESL One Hamburg) and majors (the biggest tournaments organized directly by the game’s developers, with millions of viewers and the best players, like The Internationals). Leagues smaller than primaries are generally ignored, since the popular teams that people would actually want to bet money on don’t attend those.

Of course, what I described above is just general information – just because some bookmakers offer betting on matches from majors, premiums and primaries doesn’t mean they all do. As of right now, betting on eSports is still an emerging market, and most bookmakers don’t really offer a wide selection of matches to choose from. Still, what’s there on the best eSport betting sites is more than enough to satisfy even an aficionado like me, so if you’re having any doubts, I personally would advise you not to worry about them. Maybe the next time a big tournament for a game you’re into, like EVO or The International comes around, hop over to a bookie and see if you can win some cash while supporting your favourite team?

How To Act Like A Sharp Bettor: The First Steps You Must Know

football match Data mining in sports betting has become widespread among the football punters. Most of the sharp bettors have their precise look at the stats before picking the most profitable odds. Now, I am going to tell you how to act like the best in the industry!

You may probably know how to determine which team is the favourite for a concrete game. That’s the basics of becoming a sharp bettor. Firstly, you should have in mind the recent form of the teams. Then, add the home and away record of the teams, the goal difference. Another important thing is to see how the two teams have finished in the Head to Head matches. Most of the people ignore this, but I have to tell you that some teams just can’t play well against the style of a specific team. Team A may be the best in the league, but they may not be able to win against Team B, just because Team A can’t score goals against teams, which play with 10 men behind the ball.

To continue with, betting on a single match is way riskier than determining the final place in the standings of the team. This gives you a chance for mistakes, without losing your betting slip. In this case, you should use another statistical method, called the Rate form system. It helps you determine the real strength of the teams, because sometimes the temporary position of a team may be treacherous.

That’s the first steps in becoming a sharp bettor. However, you have a long way to go. You must learn what the Expected Value is. Then, you need to know how to determine the betting amount, but this is a great point to start from – observing the stats. Pay attention on the details and don’t think gambling on sports is only about luck. Of course, you will need some luck, but after doing the necessary researches you can divest the importance of the luck!

Welcome to My eSport News and Betting Blog

dollar-0 Hiya, girls and boys. My name’s Andrew and I’m your host here at the blog dedicated to sports betting. Let me tell you a bit about myself and then I’ll explain what my plans for this blog are.

I’m a regular English lad who likes to watch footy in the pub, except that it has not only become a socialising activity and a chance to hoist a few with my pals on the weekend, but also a source of extra income. You see, I’m good at statistics – both collecting and sorting the data. As far as analysing it goes, I even have a degree in Accounting. So, I’m better than well-equipped to take on the task of running a sports blog.

I’ve had my ups and downs with sport betting just like anyone serious about it, I suppose. I’d like to think I’ve become better at it as time goes by but you never know – it’s not an exact science, you know. If it were, if everything was as clear-cut as we’d like it to be, we’d all be millionaires just for betting on a couple of matches.

football Now about my plans for this blog. I’d like to offer you some predictions and tips on major sporting events as well as share my personal experience with mostly online bookmakers. I hope to give you interesting news and I might write a review or two. Since I’m also a fan of casino games, you should expect to see posts on those as well.

What’s the need for a personal sports betting blog, you might ask. Well, all the big websites are kinda impersonal, don’t you think? With mine, there’s no risk of going big or too commercial, so I promise we’ll keep it chummy over here.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!
