Tottenham vs West Ham United: Prediction

Bet at HomeEngland, Premier League:
Tottenham HotspurWest Ham United F.C.
(Sat 19 Mar, '11, 13:45)

Bet at Home Soccer Prediction: Tottenham Tottenham played UEFA Champions League at home this week, drawing 0:0 against Milan, while West Ham United should be still unhappy with their last loss in Stoke City. And even though I do admit that manager Harry Redknapp brought new sense to the Hotspurs, I think a more rested West Ham United is too much for them. West Ham United won the last game in their Boleyn Ground stadium. This time it is Avram Grant who leads West Ham as a manager to face Tottenham at White Hart Lane, and Avram has a good record against the Spurs...

Bet at Home Soccer Prediction: West HamWest Ham will be desperate to not get beaten in Tottenham and win some vital point(s) in their battle to escape relegation. After all, their next game will be against the Premier League's current leader, Manchester United.

While Tottenham finished last season in 4th Premier League position, West Ham was 17th, and right now they are in 5th and 18th. So however the bookmakers came up with odds as big as 6.25 on West Ham, despite West Ham's last wins against Tottenham and all, I can't follow. But I can bet against it and predict West Ham United F.C. to win a draw (odds up to 4.00), goalless - good luck to all!

Bet at HomeTottenh. 0:0 West Ham

WINNER!

Nostradamus, Obama, McCain and Mabus: A Digression

Search terms Nostradamus, Obama, McCain, Mabus and the antichrist connected do end up in confusing results as there are many rumors and articles out on the internet that have too many sites and sides supported. In this section I shall find time besides from politics for an intentional change of subject: Could it possibly be that Michel de Nostradamus (1503-1566) had a prophecy referring to Barack H. Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois and leading candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election? Very unlikely, while a direct Nostradamus prophecy mentions John McCain »the elder one«, but: Even though I couldn't find anything specific pointing to Barack Obama himself and his name within Michele de Nostradame's prophecies, there is indeed one political scenario anyway, which somehow could directly connect Nostradamus and Obama through a man named »Mabus«. Note: It is widely believed that Nostradamus calls the third Antichrist to come by the name of Mabus and several projects work more or less hard to find out in time, who that Mabus might be.

Nostradamus Obama McCainThroughout his last 11 years in the 16th century the French mystic and physician Nostradamus created and published 900 verses describing them to be predictions about future events: Nostradamus claimed his visions came to him as moving pictures with colour and sound on the surface of a waterbowl which he used during occult practices. In fear of persecution by church and state, inquisition and torture, Michel de Nostradamus wrote down his experiences in a very own code, a mixture of Old French, Latin, Italian, Greek and provincial dialects, while original names were changed e.g. into a form of anagrams.

In medias res, 2008: Nostradamus wrote about three Antichrists to come. The first two Antichrists he predicted are believed to have been the politicians Napoleon and Hitler. Let us now look at prophecies of Nostradamus's associated with the third Antichrist:

Century II quatrain 62

Mabus will soon die and there will come
A dreadful destruction of people and animals,
Suddenly vengeance will be revealed,
Hundred, hands, thirst and hunger when the comet will pass.


While there are many and wild suggestions available on who might be that Mabus, there is one Mr. Mabus existing in Barack Obama's relations: Raymond Edwin "Ray" Mabus, Jr. (* 11th of October 1948) is an American businessman and political leader from Mississippi, who works on international business matters, is involved in political campaigns, and serves on various corporate and charitable boards. Previously, he served as Governor of Mississippi between 1988 and 1992 as a Democrat and as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1994 to 1996. So Mr. Mabus is not only involved in international business, but in addition he also and frequently assists political campaigns, in Mississippi and nationally: Mr. Mabus endorsed in May 2007 U.S. Senator Barack Hussein Obama for president, and is serving as a senior adviser to the ongoing campaign.

Nostradamus's prophecy speeks about Mabus to "soon die". So what could happen in 2008 to one day make us believe (once more) that things just happened as predicted hundreds of years ago by Nostradamus? An assassination attempt on Barack Obama, in which his bystanding friend Raymond Edwin »Ray« Mabus, Jr. dies nearby and soon, »suddenly vengeance will be revealed« by »the black and angry« - civil war breaks out in America 2008, that would be it.

Century VI quatrain 33

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.


Whoever is »he« and behind the assassination attempt, »the black and angry one will make him repent of it« - and it doesn't leave place for Mr. Mabus to be the third Antichrist since he therefore dies too soon.

All I say is: This is a scenario that, if ever happened, will clearly be referred to Nostradamus's prophecy, which on the other hand claims about the next president that U.S. Senator John McCain (born August 29, 1936), the elder one, will win the election in 2008.

According to conspiracy theories and Nostradamus's prophecies all together we should witness this soon in 2008: John McCain and his choice of Vice President must replace George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as U.S. Presidents 2008 in the White House to secure further cover-ups (9/11, etc.) and the course of it all (Iraq, etc.). Since Obama becomes a strong favorite in the polls an assassination attempt is launched in which Obama's friend Mabus dies. The outbreak of civil war threatens America while McCain wins the election anyway, because people don't want to see Obama as a commander in chief. Obama feels cheated, demonstrations throughout the country take place and calls for revolution meet violence, developing into civil war with the army soon stepping in.

The most easiest way to avoid all this would be have been to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2008, I guess - if you don't want too much »change« and all kind of people to even try to assassinate Barack Hussein Obama.

End of digression.

Conspiracy: Obama, Farrakhan, Black Pope, Mabus, Antichrist and Nostradamus in 2008

Obama and Black Pope?
Radical anti-semists and racist scholars like Al Sharpton and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan (National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Nation of Islam) are allowed to do what is forbidden to all of us: They can believe in a new Messiah and a hidden islamic agenda when it comes to Obama's run on the White House, and Barack Hussein's pastor Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. expresses admiration for them all.

However, we shouldn't and mustn't even try to remember how much is one plus one.

While political correctness doesn't have to be correct per se, I find it quite remarkable, that people like Farrakhan, who lived a long experienced political life, should all over sudden be totally wrong when it comes to their very own subject and candidate Obama. Why should I believe they don't know nothing about the guy they support?

The Nation of Islam under the leadership of their Minister Louis Farrakhan is the catalyst for growth and development of Islam in America. When after some long nights of thinking Farrakhan, the master of his subject, now comes out to endorse Mr. Barack Hussein Obama and »Change!«, then I and his most tasteless followers should trust him to know exactly what he is doing: Taking the presidential candidate's middle name for guaranteed while the rest of the world is ordered to ignore it, eventually better adviced in these post 9/11 times during an ongoing Iraq war.

A win-win situation for a possibly hidden agenda and for Barack (translate: flash of lightning), whose names are so close to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden as his social connections are not too far away from any understandable suspicions: With Louis Farrakhan there is a clear message out for certain voters and a golden opportunity for Obama to seemingly political correct distance himself from any possible allegations that have been there anyway.

Now, with that said: Is it too much to ask for, to just not be forbidden to recognize the middle name of Barack Hussein Obama as existing? After all, some of his most enthusiastic supporters are very political people and could without mistake know what they do and for sure not mean harm to their own course and followers, don't they?!

As for my prediction, I and Nostradamus have to be happy with the latest developments, which serve as forseen the Republican John McCain more than any Antichrist, where the Democratic candidates and their supporters hurt and embarrass themselves in internal warfare, with the Clintons becoming increasingly less relevant as an upcoming McCain-Obama battle already captures lots of attention. But B. Hussein Obama and H. Clinton have one more round, next Tuesday, before she will have to concede defeat - unless she manages to surprise everyone yet again. To await that gives me some time to reread Nostradamus' predictions about the Black Pope, to find out where Farrakhan fits in.

Republican contender John McCain's campaign team is preparing files with incriminating information about Democratic candidate Barack Obama. McCain's advisers are eagerly looking forward to the great debate between these two candidates, in good hope that we will never have to meet again with that fat man Michael Moore presenting us one day just another homemade picture about conspiracy theories and all kinds of long known connections between a U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Black Pope, Al Sharpton, Ray Mabus, the Antichrist and Nostradamus or whoever.

Tottenham vs Everton: Prediction

England, Premier League:
Tottenham HotspurEverton FC (Sun 30 Nov, '08, 16:00)
Tottenham played UEFA Cup in Holland this week, winning 1:0 against NEC, while Everton should be still unhappy with their last loss in Wigan. And even though I do admit that manager Harry Redknapp brought new sense to the Hotspurs, I think a rested and angry Everton is too much for them. One shouldn't forget that Everton won the last two games at the White Hart Lane stadium, with two goals advantage in both of them (2:0, 3:1), and on Sunday they will win this one, too - even though not in handicap -1.
Everton's away team has a positive goal statistic in the English Premier League so far this season, 1.714:1.429. This is by all means nothing one should ignore, as it is even better than Tottenham's 1:0.857 at home. And I also take into consideration that the Spurs are missing their injured defender trio Vedran Corluka, Ledley King and Alan Hutton.
While Tottenham finished last season in 11th Premier League position, Everton was 5th, and right now they are in 16th and 7th. So however the bookmakers came up with odds of 4.00 on Everton, despite Everton's last wins in Tottenham and all, I can't follow. But I can bet against it and predict Everton to win.

Portsmouth vs Blackburn: Prediction

England, Premier League:
Portsmouth FCBlackburn Rovers (Sun 30 Nov, '08, 16:00)

Blackburn is going to win this one, and current odds around 4.00 are just too good to be missed - they'll sure drop towards the game.

Last season we saw Blackburn one place above Portsmouth at 7th position in England's Premier League, now they are down in 19th position while Portsmouth is still on 8th. But things are going to change...

This Sunday the Rovers travel south to Portsmouth after they got beaten in Tottenham. But what a game it was: Blackburn played beautiful soccer, I'd say, there was some great action. Tottenham got lucky to get away with a 1:0 win, while Blackburn played from 39th minute on with just 10 men, since defender Martin Olsson was sent off. However, they had some nice chances and never gave up. Blackburn manager Paul Ince after the match: »We played some good stuff against a very good Tottenham side at their ground and we silenced their crowd for most of the game. The effort put in was unbelievable, the performance was outstanding. I thought we were going to salvage something. Had the ball been in the right place we would have got a point.« Well, well...

Portsmouth will come into the game after an UEFA Cup match against AC Milan and they will have to play Germany's VfL Wolfsburg soon after on December 4th in that very same European Cup contest. I can't imagine them concentrating everything against Blackburn. Additional to other injured players their leading striker will be out for some time, as it seems: 26-year-old Jermain Defoe (7 goals) might need surgery as his calf injury got worse. Without him Peter Crouch might look just too lonely up front.

Blackburn will know their chances, as they did in the last two games when playing in Portsmouth: They won both.
The Rovers will have to play next in Manchester against United (League Cup) and afterwards against Liverpool (Premier League) at home, and so I await them to perform well against Portsmouth.
Especially Roque Santa Cruz should be good enough for a goal, if not for two.

I will have more detailed team news here later - but the Blackburn Rovers stay most definitely to be the bet in this one against Portsmouth, for value odds.

EDIT: TEAM NEWS
Portsmouth's striker Jermain Defoe and midfielder Niko Kranjcar have shaken off calf and ankle injuries respectively and are back in contention for Portsmouth. Skipper Sol Campbell (toe) is likely to miss out again, as is Kanu who picked up a groin injury in the 2-2 draw with AC Milan, but David Nugent returns.
Blackburn's Martin Olsson is suspended but Stephen Warnock has served a ban and will slot in at left-back.
Vince Grella is likely to remain sidelined with a calf problem.

RESULT: Portsmouth 3:2 Blackburn

Predicted U.S. President John McCain leading

This is what Nostradamus and I had in mind all along when we predicted the underdog to win: After strong victories in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, I put together an analysis of the state of the race for the Republican nomination. Including the delegates won last Tuesday, John McCain is now close to securing the number of delegates needed to be the presumptive Republican nominee. In addition, it is now mathematically and politically impossible for Mike Huckabee to win enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination; there simply aren’t enough delegates left at stake for him to win. Take a look at the following chart:


The official McCain message at this point: »We’ve won some exciting contests over the last two months, but the challenge is not over – we must continue to spread John McCain’s conservative message of lowering taxes, strengthening our economy, winning the war in Iraq, and fighting radical Islamic extremists. There is a lot of work ahead.«

Upcoming states:
Wisconsin, Washington, Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island.

US President predictions and odds

While Rasmussen's poll watch reports data that gives John McCain an 88.7% chance of winning the Republican nomination, leaving Mitt Romney at 9.8%: I have added today a link to this blog about all updated Vice President betting odds for open bets concerning the ongoing 2008 Presidential race in the USA. But I still can't find any bookmaker's offer about VP odds and the next US Vice President to be chosen - there are simply no such bets available yet, despite all existing VP predictions.

EDIT: All updated Vice President Betting Odds

In the same context there aren't many serious predictions around on who will be America's next Vice President. Sure, in some online discussions one can find opinions about who should be McCain's VP (Vice President), but that is actually far away from predicting. Those discussions are of a fairly calm nature, I must say, and often not more than a couple of monologues; to be honest I don't even know most of the named politicians there. However, Condoleeza Rice gets mentioned quite a few times as she would serve women and black voters in one person.
The bookmakers will love her and her vice president odds, I guess: as a trap. I would really like to see some bookmakers' odds by now.



EDIT:
Here we go, bookmakers' odds are finally in; these odds come directly from Las Vegas and certainly will move around a lot in coming days, weeks and months - here is an always updated LINK that keeps live connection to the betting market for 2008 presidential elections in U.S. of America - good luck to all!

McCain wins in Florida and...

McCain wins as predicted


Okay, if you watch my blog since a while and as you should, then all this is no news for you now, but lets have it anyway: John McCain defeated as predicted the former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a tight Florida battle that gives him critical momentum heading into critical February 5 "Super Tuesday" voting in 21 states with Republican contests. John McCain scored a hard-fought win in Florida's presidential primary on Tuesday, seizing the front-runner's role in a heated Republican race, ending one-time favorite Rudy Giuliani's White House bid.

Info: Falling Odds

Bookmaker Intertops.com, a long-familiar member of the European Betting Association, came out with these lines, moving towards our prediction a lot, I'd say:

U.S. Elections 2008:
Republican Candidate for President 2008


John McCain 1.80
Mitt Romney 4.00
Rudy Giuliani 5.00
Mike Huckabee 10.00
Ron Paul 36.00
Fred Thompson 51.00
