Football – Golden Football https://goldenfootball.net Football News Wed, 15 Jun 2022 09:05:38 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.3 The Surprising Off-field Activites of Famous Footballers https://goldenfootball.net/the-surprising-off-field-activites-of-famous-footballers/ Wed, 10 Apr 2019 11:41:34 +0000 https://goldenfootball.net/?p=99 Read More]]> Being an elite footballer is a good life, no boudt, but it is also a stressful life. It’s not a career that’s going to last forever either. Here are three famous players who have off field passions that rival their passion for football.

Mathieu Flamini

Although he has been a solid midfielder for Marsella, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Milan and his current Spanish club Gafete, it isn’t his solid ball handling that has made Mathieu Flamini the world’s wealthiest footballer. Rather, it’s Flamini’s interests off the pitch that have made him a very, very rich man/ Mathieu Flamini is one of the founders of GF Biochemicals, a company that is currently valued at more than 30 billion dollars. Based in Milan, GF Biochemicals is the first company that was able to mass produce levunilic acid, a chemical that has a wide variety of applications, and is one of the key 12 molecules identified by the United States Department of Energy as crucial in the development of a more green world.

Neymar de Silva Santos Junior

In addition to being easily one of the best strikers in the world, the Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. also leads an exciting life away from football. For starters, he’s romantically involved with fellow Brazilian Leticia Bufoni, a skater endorsed by Nike and other companies who frequently earns a podium position in Street League, X-Games and other elite skateboarding competitions. It’s also well known that Neymar Jr is a passionate -and successful- high stakes poker player. He frequently organizes tournaments in his home, and he even came in sixth at the BSOP tournament, the most prestigious official poker tournament in Brazil. You can get the same tournament experience playing online.

Jesé Rodríguez Ruiz

Neymar’s former teammate at Paris Saint-Germain Jese Rodriguez is another footballer with extra-curricular interests. Rodriguez has a musical career, and has made a name for himself in the Spanish speaking with his music that strandles the line between reggaeton and latin trap. Rodriguez is currently on loan from PSG and playing for Real Betis in Seville.

Betting on Football https://goldenfootball.net/betting-on-football/ Wed, 12 Sep 2018 13:53:09 +0000 https://goldenfootball.net/?p=94 Read More]]> Football betting has positively exploded as a huge business in recent years, with the industry worth over £1 billion to the vast array of betting companies on the market. With this much money flowing into the bookmakers, it’s about time we started to make some of it back from them! I’ll show you how it all works and how to get started placing some bets to make some money.

The first thing you’ll want to look at are the odds for anything that you are considering betting on. They tell you how likely it is that the event you’re predicting will actually occur. Many betting companies offer either fractional or decimal odds, which leave it up to you to decide what you prefer. Fractional odds show you as a fraction what you need to bet to get a certain amount back. For example, with odds of 3/1, you would get £3 back if you bet £1 (the £3 includes your £1 bet back as well). Decimal odds work in a similar way, showing how much you would get back as a multiple instead (e.g odds of 3.0 would give you a £3 return on a £1 bet).

The more favoured the team/event is to occur, the lower the odds are going to be on it as bookmakers would have to pay out huge amounts otherwise. If you have faith in the underdogs, they will have much better odds and would give you bigger winnings. However, you do have to be careful of this, and never go chasing your losses. Remember, when the fun stops, stop.

All bookmakers offer a market for betting on football, and even some casinos are getting in on the act as well now, in addition to their regular offers. If you play your cards right, there is definitely money to be made out there!

Top three biggest football stars today https://goldenfootball.net/top-three-biggest-football-stars-today/ Sat, 12 Sep 2015 12:06:05 +0000 https://goldenfootball.net/?p=13 Read More]]> Footballing superstars don’t come any bigger than Argentina and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi. The diminutive footballing wizard is arguably the greatest player of all time, and has recently topped 400 goals for his club side, scored in a little over 7 years. Messi is a four time winner of the prestigious Ballon D’Or, recognising the world’s best player. His Barcelona side have been widely cited as the premier side in Europe over the past decade, a huge part of that down to the role of their mercurial Argentinian talisman, while his national side made the World Cup final in 2014.Messi’s main rival is Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. Having made his name at Manchester United, Ronaldo’s move to Real Madrid has seen him elevate his game to the highest possible level. Close to Messi in goalscoring feats, Ronaldo has inspired his side to various title successes and has been roundly praised for his pace, versatility and astonishing scoring record. Although he has made less of an impact for his country, Ronaldo is a major threat at both domestic and international level.One of football’s most controversial stars, Luis Suarez has blossomed since his 100 million Euro move from Liverpool to Barcelona in the summer of 2014. The Uruguayan striker has courted controversy with antics on the field, but a move to the Catalan giants has seen him team up with Messi and rapidly become one of the world’s most dfeared strikers.
