Nicolas Jackson, the new terror of the Premier League?

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 23, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Long criticized and sometimes mocked for his difficulty finding the back of the net, Nicolas Jackson (23 years old), is reversing the trend and establishing himself as a real asset for Chelsea. Arriving with high expectations, the young Senegalese, often compared to Didier Drogba, was quickly confronted with the pressure of the supporters and the demands of the media. However, this season, he finally seems to have set his sights and found his bearings in the demanding world of the Premier League.

Since May 2024, only Erling Haaland (15 goals in this period) has scored more goals than Nicolas Jackson (8 goals) in the Premier League. The Senegalese striker has shone in his last outings, scoring twice in 20 minutes and providing an assist in Chelsea’s last match against West Ham. In just five matches, he has already scored four goals and provided two assists, proving that he has become a key element of his team. Moreover, the Senegalese player is in the Premier League’s starting XI at the end of Matchday 5.

The numbers speak for themselves: at the start of the championship, Jackson scores a goal on average every 92 minutes, with a playing time of 73 minutes per match. The Blues’ number 15, who stands out for his intelligent movements and sharp ball calls, also creates two clear chances per match. A ratio which testifies to his influence on Chelsea’s game, currently ranked 5th with 10 points, three lengths behind the leader Man City.

This rise in power has not escaped the attention of Enzo Maresca, the new Blues coach, who quickly designated Jackson as his number one striker. A way of closing the debate and demonstrating his confidence in his striker. Although he almost found himself in competition with the Nigerian Victor Osimhen, whose transfer ultimately fell through this summer, Nico Jackson is determined to impose himself in the hierarchy of attackers. In the coach’s game plans, players like Christopher Nkunku and Marc Gui are still behind him, thus reinforcing his status as No. 1.

Last season, Nicolas Jackson played in 35 games, scoring 14 goals and providing 5 assists. A record that is reminiscent of the early days of his idol, Didier Drogba, who did not do better in the Premier League. With such form, Jackson could well become the new terror of opposing defenses. Chelsea fans can hope to see their striker shine and lead the team to the top of the PL. The future looks bright for “N15.”

Formula 1 visits Las Vegas

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 2, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

em / fin

The 2024 Formula 1 calendar also includes the race in Las Vegas. There are over a hundred casinos in Sin City, and the temptation for racing drivers and team members to spend their time there is naturally greater than in any other city. However, Mercedes AMG F1 team boss Toto Wolff has already clearly spoken out against his employees going to the casino during active race days. Will everyone stick to this? After all, the range of the most popular games such as blackjack and roulette is enormous, especially in Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, Red Bull achieved a double podium with Max Verstappen in P1 and Sergio Perez in P3. Ferrari started from pole with Charles Leclerc, but ended up only finishing second. On the starting grid, Red Bull benefited from the +10 place penalty against Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz. It is not known whether the Formula 1 protagonists had fun in the casino during their stay, but Red Bull at least made a first by letting one of their cars race through the casino (see video). The next Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on November 23rd, 24. Incidentally, the most played table games in Las Vegas are probably blackjack and roulette. Both games can be successfully beaten with skill, although you also need a little luck. Basically, it’s similar to motorsport: with skill and a little luck, you emerge from a race as the winner!

This duel of giants involves two undisputed classics in the endless expanses of the international casino scene. Blackjack and roulette are both thrilling, high stakes and the considerable chance of making handsome winnings – as long as you know the rules.

There is a debate about which game offers better chances and which strategies are considered to be more promising. Adventurous gamblers can try risky strategies in roulette, such as the “666 Strategy“, while card players in Blackjack remember the cards that have been played. It is worth mentioning that it is not always just about luck – your own skill and the existing background knowledge are also required. This gives you a significant influence on the outcome of the game.

A little insider knowledge for the best possible success

Clash of the Titans – The Basics of Blackjack and Roulette

However different the two casino games may seem, there are significant similarities. For players, the most important similarity is the fact that both roulette and blackjack have a lower house edge than slot machines and many other games. With the right skill, leisure and of course a little luck, fate can be kind to you and you can benefit from permanently improved chances of winning.

Blackjack – In the eternal battle with the dealer

Blackjack, often called “21”, is a cult card game with a venerable tradition. The aim is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer with your own playing cards (virtual or real). If the magic value is exceeded, you automatically lose. The exciting appeal of blackjack lies in the combination of luck and skill. Here you can score points by using strategies. These include card counting or betting according to the Martingale-System.

Roulette – The Cauldron of Fate

Roulette, on the other hand, is a pure game of chance. Players bet on a number, a color or a combination of these. The dealer spins the wheel every round and you hope that the ball lands on the corresponding bet. Although the game is very simple, you can experience a real thrill with a fair amount of excitement.

Comparison of odds and house edge

Blackjack
Roulette

Game principle Card game in which the aim is
to get as close to 21 as possible Gambling in which you bet on the number or color of a spinning ball

Strategy High influence through skillful card management Low influence on roulette odds as the game depends on chance

Payout percentage (RTP) Up to 99% with optimal strategy About 97.3%

Game atmosphere High interaction intensity between players
and dealer Relaxed gaming atmosphere without direct interaction

Learnability Moderate difficulty Very easy to learn

From the table we received from Ruleta77 We have derived from our experience that Blackjack generally has a lower house edge than roulette. This is especially true when compared to American roulette with its two zero spaces. In theory, this means that in the long run, blackjack players have better chances of winning than roulette players.

Different strategies & player types

Thinkers, strategists and cerebral players will probably give priority to blackjack. Here you can actively influence your chances of winning as long as you don’t lose track. Roulette, on the other hand, has its own charm and attracts players who live in the moment and love pure gambling.

Ultimately, however, much is left to chance. Luck naturally plays an unpredictable role in both games. There is no 100% guarantee for the outcome of casino games, so responsibility and mindfulness are paramount.

Conclusion on Roulette vs. Blackjack

Both are classic offline games. But online casinos also shine with unique gaming experiences and advantages – but of course also disadvantages. If you just play to win, blackjack realistically reveals higher chances – with the appropriate skill and knowledge of the player. Roulette, on the other hand, captivates bon vivants who simply want to have fun betting. Both casino games now exist in countless variants, with significant differences. In order to play successfully, you have to know and understand the individual rules. In conclusion, it can be said that roulette and blackjack are both excellent games that have rightly earned a place in history.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 31, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Following their 48-hour action plan of August 13 and 14, the inter-union of workers at the Ziguinchor Peace Hospital are raising their voices again. These white coats affiliated with SAMES, SYNTRAS and SUTSAS were in a general assembly on Friday, August 30 for a mid-term review of their platform of demands.

However, after two meetings with the hospital’s general management, they do not intend to back down and have announced a 72-hour strike for September 3, 4 and 5, according to Dr. Marc Manga, coordinator of the inter-union.

”After the slogan of August 13, we considered it necessary to make a mid-term evaluation. We noted that the demands have not yet been resolved, it was about the increase in the operating subsidy; the granting of a special subsidy; the raising of the hospital to a level three on this point, we request a meeting with our supervising minister.

The other points concern the hospital’s contract workers, the problem of waterproofing, the social contributions that are not paid, the equipment, the non-payment of bonuses among others. So far, we have not yet had any satisfaction, so the assembly decided to continue the strike order next week for 72 hours,” warns Dr. Marc Manga.

Drone bombing kills at least 15 in northern Mali

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 30, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Dakar. At least 15 civilians, including many children, were killed Sunday in drone strikes in northern Mali, sources said, in an area of clashes between separatists and jihadists on the one hand, and the Malian army and its Russian allies on the other.

Separatist armed groups have lost control of several towns in the north since 2023, following an offensive by the Malian army, a country ruled by a military junta that decided to break ties with France, the former colonial power, and its European partners and seek political and military support from Russia.

“The Malian junta’s army and the Russian mercenaries of the Wagner group […] “They carried out several bombings with drones from Burkina Faso in Tinazaouatène, a few metres from Algerian territory,” said the separatists, who reported a provisional death toll of 21 civilians, including 11 children, as well as dozens of wounded and “enormous material damage.”

At least 15 civilians were killed, a local elected official told AFP, adding that all of the dead were civilians.

A local NGO official and a retired Tinazaouatène official reported a death toll of “at least twenty”.

In that town, separatists and jihadists claimed to have killed dozens of members of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner and the Malian army in fighting that took place between 25 and 27 July.

The army and the Wagner Group then claimed to have suffered significant losses but did not provide any precise figures.
