Novak Djokovic With Point To Prove After Wimbledon Disappointment

0

There are few things more dangerous in the tennis world than Novak Djokovic with a point to prove and that’s just what awaits his rivals at this year’s US Open.

Suffering defeat in the 2023 Wimbledon final was a tough result to take for the 23-time Grand Slam champion but Djokovic has a chance to add to his astonishing title tally at Flushing Meadows.

Djokovic Defying The Years

Having turned 36 this year, Djokovic continues to be the man to beat heading into nearly every Grand Slam event on the calendar. The Serbian star was on course for a clean sweep of the Grand Slam titles after winning both the Australian Open and French Open. However, Djokovic was to fall short after losing in the final at Wimbledon and is +160 in the tennis odds to win the title at SW19 next year. The veteran will be looking for a response at Flushing Meadows and is the +110 favorite in the Men’s US Open 2023 odds to be crowned champion in New York City. Despite his success and longevity in the sport, Djokovic still seems to have the same hunger for titles as he did at the start of his professional career.

A clean sweep of the Grand Slam titles in a calendar year has so far been elusive to the man from Belgrade. The 2021 season saw Djokovic go close to taking all four major titles after he managed to come out on top in the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. However, he was to fall agonizingly short at the US Open as he reached the final at Flushing Meadows before a 6-6, 6-4, 6-4 defeat to Russia’s Daniil Medvedev. It seems like Djokovic still has some unfinished business with this particular Grand Slam event in the Big Apple before he calls time on his outstanding playing career.

Djokovic Must Handle The Heat

One thing that does seem to set the US Open apart from the other major events is the heat and humidity at the back end of a long season. Temperatures can certainly be high at the Australian Open in Melbourne but at least the players have had some rest over the short off-season before heading Down Under. After traveling across the planet since January, heading to New York at the end of August to play in hot and humid conditions is a big ask of players.

There’s extra onus on the veteran Djokovic, who due to his own success, finds himself usually competing at the back end of tournaments throughout the year. More matches means a build-up of fatigue and perhaps that has contributed to the fact he has managed three US Open titles in his career, compared to the 10 he’s won at the Australian Open over the years. Motivation though is never a concern for Djokovic, who will be eager to pull further away from rival Rafael Nadal in the Grand Slam title standings.

Djokovic has responded well to setbacks in the past and his rivals will be fully aware of how dangerous the maestro can be when he feels he has a point to prove.

A134 near Nowton Park closed due to congestion

One lane of the northbound carriageway of the A134 near Nowton Park has been closed to ease congestion.

According to Suffolk Police, the unusually heavy traffic on the road due south of Bury St Edmunds, is due to ‘people in vehicles trying to go places.’ Sergeant Phil Chipotle of the Suffolk traffic division told the GAZETTE, “Hour hintelligence tells us that theee people who his clogging up the roads is mainly made up of tourists, common working men in white vans, HGV drivers, hand hother, regular people goin’ about their daily business.”

Asked why the closure of a lane was likely to reduce congestion rather than exacerbate it, Sgt Chipotle replied “Well I never! What a silly question! Its hobvious, hisn’t it? Why? If one closes a lane then, by definition, one is reducing traffic flow. Whereas before there was two lanes of congestion, now there is honly one.”

The position of leader of Lowestoft Seagull Squadron, currently held by legendary local Seagull 73 – the most notorious gull in Suffolk – has been targeted by a newcomer – unknown, Seagull 2946.

By Doug Trench, Defence Editor

Regularly featured in the SUFFOLK GAZETTE, Seagull 73 is not only the recognized leader of Lowestoft Seagull Squadron,.but is also the kingpin of the Lowestoft seagull underworld. As such, he faces constant challenges from younger upstart gulls, determined to rise to the top.

Coo d’état

As pigeons cooed nearby, newbie Seagull 2946, until now unheard of as a mover and shaker in gull circles, made his bid for supremacy by joining the Red Arrows display team on its annual air show over Lowestoft last Saturday.

Reaching speeds of up to 645 mph, 2946 impressed holidaymakers and local deadbeats watching below. Less impressed was Seagull 73 who was reportedly perched atop the Sandy Toes Ice Cream Parlour receiving a massage from a couple of young female seagulls when the impressive aerial display took place.

Conclusion

The SUFFOLK GAZETTE has been told that the wise old squadron leader (believed to be 34) smirked to himself and mumbled “Squawk, squ squ squ squawk squawk.” (‘He’ll get what’s f*cking coming to him’) before casually returning to his massage.

Only time will tell who comes out on top in this battle for supremacy of the skies over Lowestoft.

Making Profit in Crude Oil Trading

Crude oil, often referred to as “black gold”, is one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. Its price volatility, influenced by factors such as geopolitical events, climate conditions, and changes in global supply and demand, offers significant opportunities for traders.

This guide aims to explore the intricacies of crude oil trading, offering insights and strategies to maximize profitability. Whether you’re a novice trader or a seasoned expert, understanding the dynamics of crude oil markets is crucial to making well-informed trading decisions.

What is Crude Oil Trading?

Crude oil trading involves the buying and selling of crude oil contracts on exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). Crude oil traders speculate on the price movements of various types of crude oils, such as Brent blend, WTI, Dubai/Oman, etc., in order to capitalize on price swings.

There are two main types of crude oil markets: spot and futures. Spot markets involve the purchase of a physical commodity for immediate delivery, whereas futures contracts involve no physical transfer but rather an agreement to purchase or sell a certain amount of the commodity at a predetermined date in the future.

The Benefits and Risks of Crude Oil Trading

Crude oil trading offers the potential for significant profits, as well as the risk of losses. It is important to carefully consider both the benefits and risks associated with crude oil trading before entering this market.

Benefits

  • Low cost of entry. Crude oil markets have a low barrier to entry, meaning that you can start trading with as little as a few hundred dollars.
  • Easy to trade – nowadays you can use plenty of oil trading platforms that make it easy to open and close positions.
  • Liquidity. The crude oil market is highly liquid and offers traders the ability to enter and exit positions easily and quickly.
  • Leverage. Trading on margin allows traders to take on larger positions than they could with cash alone, potentially magnifying their profits (or losses).
  • Volatility. Crude oil prices are notoriously volatile, meaning that there is plenty of opportunity for profit in short-term trades.

Risks

  • High Volatility. Crude oil markets are quite volatile and can swing wildly in either direction in a matter of minutes or hours.
  • Price Manipulation. Due to the sheer size of this market, it is susceptible to price manipulation, making it difficult for small traders to compete.
  • Counterparty Risk. When trading futures contracts, there is always the risk that the counterparty may not fulfill its contractual obligations.
  • Political Risk. Crude oil prices are heavily influenced by geopolitical events, making them difficult to predict and potentially resulting in losses for traders.

Despite these risks, crude oil trading can be highly profitable for those who are well-informed and willing to take calculated risks. Proper research and analysis of market trends and fundamentals are necessary to ensure success.

Tips for Start Trading in Crude Oil

  • Start small. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket when you first start trading. Instead, take smaller positions until you become more confident in your skills and strategies as a trader. If in the future trading will become a real business, you can use the profits from small trades to increase your capital.
  • Protect yourself against downside risk. Use stop-loss orders to protect yourself from large losses should the market move against you unexpectedly.
  • Manage your position size. Increase your position size slowly as you become more comfortable with the market and your strategies.
  • Diversify your portfolio. By investing in multiple energy markets, you’ll be able to spread your risk and increase your chances of making a profit.
  • Do your research. The more knowledge you have about the energy market, the better prepared you’ll be to make informed trading decisions.
  • Take advantage of technology. Use automated trading systems to help streamline your trading processes and take advantage of opportunities quickly.
  • Stay informed. Keep up with news and events that could affect crude oil prices to ensure you’re always aware of the latest developments.

By following these tips, traders can increase their chances of success in the volatile world of crude oil trading. With careful research and planning, traders can potentially make substantial profits from this highly lucrative market.

Conclusion

Crude oil trading can be a highly profitable activity, but it’s important to understand the risks involved before entering the market. By following these tips and doing your research, you’ll be able to make more informed decisions and increase your chances of making a profit. With careful planning and risk management, traders can potentially make substantial profits from this exciting and lucrative energy market.

Wigleys Extra Pleasure Chewing Cum ‘hard to swallow’

Wigleys, the renowned chewing gum manufacturer, recently unveiled their latest creation: “Extra Pleasure” gum, a supposed adult-oriented stick of gum flavored with a jap’s-eyebrow-raising ingredient—semen.

Promising an experience that’s not for the faint of heart (or taste buds). ‘Wigleys Extra Pleasure Chewing Cum’ boasts a flavor profile that’s, well, intimately unconventional. Infused with the essence of the forbidden fruit, the gum is touted to have that certain. Uh, distinctive zing that’s sure to leave an impression on your senses.

With a controversial ad campaign that encourages customers to ‘spit or swallow’ the gum. Wigleys is putting its commercial balls on the table.

Hard on

The ‘suck it and see’ gum has left at least one consumer with a nasty taste in their mouth.

Suffolk resident, Thomas Crinch, chair of the campaign group Residents Against Everything (RAGE). Told the SUFFOLK GAZETTE that he was appalled at the “new low” in British commerce. “When I was a lad, the East India Company responsibly traded in basic commodities including cotton, silk, indigo dye, sugar, spices, tea, and opium that they stole from the Banyans,” Crinch told me with a squint in both eyes.

“They wouldn’t have DARED deal in goods containing SATAN’s BUTTER!!!!! Anyhow, have you even tried the stuff? It’s rock hard, doesn’t matter how long you have the thing in your mouth, it never goes soft, WHAT!?”

Better the Devil you know

Despite the furor, Wigleys executives are standing firm, insisting that ‘Chewing Cum’ is all in good fun and a cheeky celebration of adult desires. Some brave souls have even taken to social media to share their EXTRA PLEASURE taste test experiences on video, while others just stick to the old-fashioned method of sucking their fella’s cock.

Your Guide to Premier League Betting

0

The Premier League is the most popular sports league in the world by some margin. Watched by over 4.7 billion people around the world it consistently attracts the largest viewership of any other sports league. As such, it is also the most popular league to bet on with millions wagered in the US alone every year.

However, perhaps some are not confident when betting on soccer and more specifically the Premier League. If this is the case, then look no further for a guide.

Your Guide to Premier League Betting

Before you start betting, it is important you find a good sportsbook that you can trust with great odds and lucrative bonuses.

If you are not familiar with how odds are priced, we will provide a quick explanation. Every line is priced with either a plus (+) or minus (-). A plus odds bet tells you how much you would win from a $100 wager while a minus odds bet tells you how much you would need to wager to win $100. For example, a $100 wager on +200 bet would win you $200 while the same wager on -200 would only return $50. It is that straightforward.

Now let’s look at the most popular markets to bet on in the Premier League

Moneyline

The moneyline is maybe the simplest bet to make. You are wagering on the final result of the match (win/draw). For example, you could bet on Chelsea to beat Arsenal or for the game to end as a draw. While these bets are very straightforward to understand, the Premier League is often known for its upsets, so it is not as easy as just picking the favorite and waiting for the money to roll in. Bets on heavy favorites are generally very low which means that returns are likely to be low.

Total

This is another easy bet to understand, you are wagering on the over/under number of goals to be scored in a game. Decimal scores are often used to prevent the case of a push bet. For example, you can bet on over or under 2.5 goals to be scored. In this case, three goals or more to be scored would mean that the over 2.5 goals landed while 2 goals or fewer would mean the under had landed. These are often good bets to make when the moneyline is perhaps too tight to call or a heavy favorite does not make a favorable bet.

Both teams to score

Another easy bet to follow, this one does exactly as it says on the tin. You are wagering on both teams to score or not to score in the game. These bets are good to make as it does not take a lot of research when looking into each team’s form, especially defensively, and you can make an informed bet.

Live betting

Live betting has become incredibly popular since the industry made the move toward online betting rather than brick and mortar betting shops. For those who are not familiar, live betting allows you to wager on a match while it is taking place. This is very helpful for when you are watching along as you are able to gauge the ebb and flow of the game, allowing you to make an informed decision.

For example, if a full back is up against a pacy, tricky winger and has already committed a foul without punishment then you could back them to receive a card in the game. You could also back results in play which is helpful when backing favorites. For example, if Man City go 1-0 down at home but still look likely to get a result, you can back the in-play odds for a win which would have floated out from their pre-match odds.

Player props

Player props are some of the most exciting bets to make in premier league betting. There are a number of different players props you can back for example; player shots on target, player to be carded and player assists. What makes these bets so exciting is that you can watch them unfold as you watch the game. The odds are often relatively favorable for a lot of these markets and there is a decent amount of money to be made on them. However, there is of course a chance that the player you have backed is subbed off in which case your best will go down as a loss if they have not reached the prop that you have backed.
