Dann ist es definitiv ein pre-transition seed. Glaube irgendwie nicht, dass das Reclaim Tool noch funktioniert, aber Versuch macht kluch, kannst uns ja auf dem Laufenden halten. Im Endeffekt wirst du wohl nicht drumrum kommen, mal im Discord vorbeizuschauen und dort mit einem "Mitarbeiter" zu reden. Grundsätzlich würde ich schon denken, dass du noch Zugriff auf die IOTA hast, aber dann gab es zwischendurch auch wieder eine Reclaim-Phase, wo die IF die IOTA einiger User unter ihre Fittiche genommen hat, um sie vor Hackern zu schützen und all solche Sachen. Vielleicht liegen die IOTA auch einfach auf einer der Foundation-Adressen und du kannst sie manuell - mit vermutlich KYC - reclaimen (falls David sie sich noch nicht einverleibt hat ).

For the club CL qualification is definitely more important imo, since it brings more money. For the players the DFB-Pokal is more important I think. Unless you play at Munich, it's not easy to win a title in Germany. And if you play for Leverkusen it is next to impossible In their long tradition in Bundesliga and with often very good teams, they just managed one title overall - the DFB Pokal in 1992. Internationally their only title was winning the UEFA-Cup in 1988. They came close to winning more (CL, Bundesliga), but always failed in the end.

The DFB Pokal Final is always a huge event, but this year not of course in terms of atmosphere etc.. But winning this title is something you have forever and no one can take it away from you. No one will remember one year from now, who participated in the group stages in CL 2020/2021, but being victorious in DFB Pokal against (most likely) Bayern, people will remember and the players will be proud of it forever.

Playing in CL next year will also be more attractive to a) sign new players and b) keep players happy that are under contract. The EL is not very interesting for the top players.

Der neueste Taurion Appetizer wurde veröffentlicht: Taurion - MMORTS/RPG - Teaser Trailer

Aufgrund der Veröffentlichung dieses Videos und der regen Github-Aktivität, denke ich, dass die nächste Taurion Competition schon bald startet - eventuell Ende Juni. Im Discord sind paar Leute, die sehr zufrieden mit ihrem Gewinn aus dem Treasure Hunt sind. Dort gab es u.a. x-mal 10000 DIVI zu gewinnen, die jetzt mittlerweile über 400,- Euro wert sind. Die SME Anteile werden aber wohl langfristig am meisten wert sein, vielleicht gibt es die auch bei dritten Schatzsuche wieder zu gewinnen.

Thanks for all the praise my way for keeping a simple spreadsheet up to date. It's not that much work in the end, once the sheet is set up properly efialtis has 90% of all work and we can be happy to have such a good networker as our host, who is always able get us some extra prizes.

Congrats to SteamTyme, FOMA777 and 1r0n1c. After Iv4n was doing so well in the early stages, he was my favourite to win. There are certain people in this series, who are very good frontrunners and everyone is doomed once they sit on a heap of chips, but not this time. Iv4n is the only player to qualify for both Grand Finals btw.

CCwatcher420 has been one of the most consistent players throughout both series and is one of the last seven standing to play every tournament, but still never got a penny back in prize money. Other regular players, that never got something in return are jayce and cygan; webtricks never cashed in the regular tournaments, but got 3rd place in small final in Series 1.

Martingale seems really a fascinating topic for a lot of gamblers But don't worry @deisik, I like your approach and thinking out of the box, although you know my opinion about something that might work to a certain extent in reality (with small gains, if you play it safe), but not in theory.


Imagine all those players putting all their funds in one pot and going all-in a few times - and getting lucky. Then this "syndicate" would suddenly have the house edge over the casino.

-

In general, this is of course a zero sum game, which is maybe good for money laundering, but else then that ? Your theory of a "bankroll house edge" makes sense, as far as I see it, but only, if you make Martingale mandatory for all players and no syndicates allowed. But all in all this is so far from reality, that it's hard to wrap your head around it (at least for me ).

Nein, normalerweise gibst du deinen Seed in Trinity ein, dann rödelt der da bisschen rum und sollte dann deine Balance anzeigen - vorausgesetzt, du hast den richtigen Seed eingegeben und er hat auch eine Balance

Diese Transition war mMn das Einzige, was man verpflichtend tun musste, um seine IOTA nicht in Gefahr zu bringen. Wenn du sagst, dass dein Seed von 10/2017 ist, dann war die Transistion für dich allerdings nicht nötig. Dazwischen gab es ein paar Snapshots, den Trinity Hack, dies und das, aber wenn der Seed sicher verstaut war und Trinity in einem bestimmten Zeitraum (während das Hacks) nicht benutzt wurde, dann sollte den IOTA nichts passiert sein.

Ich hatte selber noch Seeds, die ich seit der Transition Phase nicht mehr angefasst hatte und nach Eingabe in Trinity war alles bestens. Vielleicht ist dein Seed doch eher von Mitte 2017 ?

Good luck to all participants later today, I'll be lurking. @morvillz7z Where are your odds for series #2 Grand Final ?

Thanks to @efialtis for organizing these tournaments/prizes and also making a third series happen. I know how much headache it was and is for you, but will hopefully get better with some changes for the upcoming series

Hast du deine Token "transitioned" im Spätsommer/Herbst 2017 oder was ist der status quo bei dir ? Dies waren die damaligen Anweisungen: New GUI + Transition Phase Explained

Wenn du die Transition damals gemacht hast, solltest du deine IOTA eigentlich im Trinity wallet wiederfinden. Wenn du die Transition nicht gemacht hast, dann.....weiss ich ehrlich gesagt auch nicht - mal im Discord nachfragen wäre wahrscheinlich die beste Alternative.

You are doing pretty well compared to me guys - I got a whopping 1/9 correct And I wasn't doing any better with my real bets yesterday, football just sucks and always did Just for statistical reasons, I should get A LOT of the remaining bets right, so you should go at least 5/6 with betting on these for real (this is no financial advice):

FC Augsburg - 1. FC Cologne DRAW
Rio Ave - FC Pacos Ferreira
Seongnam - Daegu FC DRAW
Union Berlin - FC Schalke 04 - DRAW
Stuttgart - VfL 1899 Osnabruck
Werder Bremen - Wolfsburg

Was probably the deserved punishment for using the pink colour

I have thought about such ideas as well. Mainly about incentives to keep the weaker and/or out-of-contention players interested and probably get new (regular) players. The best idea I could come up with, was some kind of lottery for players ranked outside of Top9 after 8 tournaments. Each player who has participated in at least 6/8 tournaments is eligible and will get "tickets" to the lottery based on his number of participations and the points he accumulated:



10 tickets per participation and one ticket per point:

I would get 60+24 = 84 tickets (ticket numbers 1-84)
SyGambler 60+23 = 83 tickets (ticket numbers 85-167)
Trofo 80+19 = 99 tickets (ticket numbers 168-......
cygan wouldn't be eligible, because only 5/8 played
jayce 60+1 = 61 tickets
etc.

Then you would have XXX tickets and the most trusted user, which is probably Hhampuz, would pick the winners with some random number generator. Each user can only have one winning ticket and you have like 3 prizes.

If you put 100 chips aside from each player for every tournament in series #2, you would have had a 14500 chips prize pool for this lottery.

The problem is........it creates additional hassle with collecting these funds, so probably not an option.

Havertz will miss todays game with muscular problems. He is the heart and soul of Leverkusen, so will be missed badly. I was fancying some bet on Leverkusen, but with these news I don't like my chances with that one.

And now it looks like Pohang is laying an egg at home - 0-2 down at halftime While some of us have the draw, I see no one being brave enough to take the away win. So the catching up has begun already, because there is always someone who gets it right

A little bump, if anyone of you has any more questions

The last months of "unemployment" slowly but surely come to an end as more and more sports resume - though it's not the sports I usually bet on and/or make money with. The little addict in me showed up and so I couldn't resist to have some (more) bets in german football, where I was able to make little profits in the beginning, but the last two rounds were red, resulting in an overall loss after the break.

German Basketball will resume tomorrow with some strange tournament structure and a few teams even chose to not participate. The teams had to get their players back (mainly from the US) and a team like Vechta has only a very small roster now. There will be lots of surprises I think, but I didn't do enough research yet.

Then I am eagerly waiting for chinese Basketball to resume. It was initially to return in April already, but was always postponed further. And last but not least, I am looking forward to cycling, which will have a packed schedule in late summer/autumn:

8 August: Milano-Sanremo (Italy)
12-16 August: Critérium du Dauphiné (France)
29 August -20 September : Tour de France (France)
7-14 September: Tirreno-Adriatico (Italy)
30 September: La Flèche Wallonne (Belgium)
3-25 October: Giro d'Italia (Italy)
4 October: Liège-Bastogne-Liège (Belgium)
10 October: Amstel Gold Race (the Netherlands)
18 October: Tour des Flandres (Belgium)
20 October - 8 November: Vuelta Ciclista a España (Spain)
25 October: Paris-Roubaix (France)
31 October: Il Lombardia (Italy)

These are just the biggest races, there are many more smaller ones and I will have my hands full following them all All these races in a short period of time will change the dynamics dramatically. Doing the Giro&Tour double on a high level, is normally already not doable and now you have 3 GTs in three months, this will create mayhem. And the GTs will be short of a lot of very good riders, because they will choose to ride the one day Classics/Monuments instead.

It surely did to some extent, but I didn't follow the show. If we assume live performance did have a positive effect on the votings, then the result from Russia is quite impressive and reflects the general sentiment which we had in the betting markets, where Russia was among the top favourites. Then again, Bulgaria was top favo from the latests odds and they did quite poor in user and jury voting, so would have maybe been a good bet to oppose them. Malta got very good jury votes (because she is a very good singer), but wasn't liked by the users and for Denmark it was vice versa. This is just for Germany and not very representative for all those countries being able to vote, but still interesting.

As expected, Rotterdam will also be the host for the ESC 2021. 26 countries have confirmed their participation on top of the pre-qualified. The majority will also send the same artists as they initially planned/selected for this year. Still a long way to go, but I will open a thread for the 2021 edition later this year.

Need to try some new colour here, sorry if it hurts your eyes

Leverkusen - FC Bayern Munich
Boavista FC - Moreirense FC DRAW
Dortmund - Hertha BSC
DSC Arminia Bielefeld - Nuremberg
Eintracht Frankfurt - 1. FSV Mainz 05
FC Augsburg - 1. FC Cologne DRAW
Fortuna Dusseldorf - Hoffenheim
Pohang - Ulsan Hyundai FC
Rio Ave - FC Pacos Ferreira
Seongnam - Daegu FC DRAW
Seoul - Jeonbuk
Union Berlin - FC Schalke 04 - DRAW
Stuttgart - VfL 1899 Osnabruck
Wehen - SG Dynamo Dresden
Werder Bremen - Wolfsburg

Went with Leverkusen & Hertha, I think one of them will manage a rather huge upset No idea about the PT matches, even mighty Porto struggled after the break.

I think this is more a software issue for them. As long as you haven't lost a pick, your bet is still active and they seem to take the data for leaderboard only from settled bets, but not sure. As much as I like Sportsbet and their presence here in this forum, the website is still a bit meh in a lot of regards. The latest update was already an improvement, but the user experience is not very convenient. And I am not talking about the poker client, which is probably the worst I have ever seen

Hehe, yes, but Freiburg not winning tomorrow doesn't necessarily mean that Gladbach wins, because you still have that nasty draw Freiburg lost to top teams Leverkusen and drew @Leipzig, which is ok, drew at @Frankfurt after leading 3-1, which is ok result too. That 0-1 loss at home to Bremen was poor though. But you can see, that Freiburg is very competitive and the pure results are probably a bit misleading.

Freiburg is 6-2-6 at home, so they lose 43% of their home games. Gladbach is 7-3-4 away, so they win 50% of their matches when travelling. H2H favours Freiburg. This is just stats though and with a gun to my head, I would take Gladbach too. Even without a gun to my head, I would pick them, but I want some better odds for them and I think I can get them inplay. The pressure is with Gladbach, because this is a super huge game for them. Freiburg is sitting comfortably in the middle of the pack knocking at the EL places, but they will be happy with just not relegating - like they always are. Gladbach is lacking some killer mentality for me and it wouldn't surprise me to see them fold under this pressure

Hmm, they certainly have an impressive record against Gladbach at home, but they didn't win 13 in a row:


Source: https://www.flashscore.com/match/ptj7KOdH/#h2h;home

This is a pretty big game for Gladbach. Leverkusen is not very likely to win against Bayern - though they won their last 2 games against them - and with a win at Freiburg, Gladbach could distance Leverkusen with 4 games left. Gladbach themselves is playing Bayern in the next round then, where they most likely won't get any points. So, if they fail to win at Freiburg, it's not looking good for them regarding CL qualification.

Odds for Gladbach are too low all things considered imo, but will wait for inplay. The odds for Leverkusen to get at least 1 point against Bayern look tasty though.

Yep, it's amazing and I am not sure, what is the main driving factor here in the last days, because I have a hard time imagining it's "just" the protests/riots. Those riots and looting I would even have thought to play into the hands of Trump tbh.
I think it's the fact, that Biden came out of his cave and is more present in the media now - showing up healthy and with some fighting spirit, after having been invisible for ages. But odds of 1.97 look a bit short to me (overreaction)


This was a bit expected unfortunately. He is trading at above 200 now, indicating a probability of less then 0.5%, which I find a tad too low then again. I cut my losses a bit with laying him at 85, but will maybe jump in again at 250-ish (to make this a complete disaster ).

Es gab ja schon eine private seed round, an der ich über ein paar Umwege teilnehmen konnte. Hab in meinen Unterlagen geschaut und hatte am 07.06.2018 die Transaktion geschickt, also relativ genau vor zwei Jahren. Am 13.07.2018 wurde dann verkündet, dass "7 digit figure" eingesammelt wurde (war aber nicht alles von mir ), nachzulesen hier: https://www.dgap.de/dgap/News/corporate/first-round-financing-for-the-peaq-project-has-closed/?newsID=1084273

Es hiess eigentlich immer, dass es eine Art ICO geben wird oder zumindest nach frischem Geld auf welche Art und Weise auch immer gesucht wird. Also solltest du in Zukunft da auch noch bisschen Geld unterbringen können

Yes, as of now, she probably is. But I wrote "GOAT forever" and if she was as fit as the players I mentioned, I think no one would ever come close to what she would have achieved. Just like if Steffi Graf had a backhand

But these GOAT discussions are always a bit meh, because the game changes so fast. Put any of the Top10 WTA from 2020 in the Steffi Graf era and they would win every tournament basically imo. These players now have way better equipment, the game is faster, the players are insanely fit, spend hours in the gym, look after their diet etc. Then again put Steffi Graf in Margaret Court era and she herself would win everything there.
