Dude haha I thought you were betting on transfers happening! But bah, let's do it. 50m pounds sterling and above before the transfer window shuts and I win. Gotta bet on something I understand anyway!

@hilarious: yeah read it too. A lot of things I can agree with. Closed doors. 5 substitutions. 30-day stretch to play all games. But I don't get the purpose of less playing time. Once you're on the field already, why for?

@LFC: LES DO IT!!! I watch the IG stuff from Pool and they look like they're yoga-ing a lot and having fun, I'm gunning for us being the fittest out of the blocks too =D

@Cryptopreneur/Trofo: I wasn't even a pro player but when I played in the semi-amateur league in my capital, pitch difference is huge. Even artificial and natural grass. Type of grass. Mown or not. Muddy or not. Hard or soft, sandy or clay. It changes how outcomes happen differently from training. Injuries. Ask EPL teams to play at Lowe leagues with mud and puddles and they can't do their tiki takas anymore. Atmosphere I can't say, we never had a huge crowd anywhere and I was never lucky enough to play a proper club. But pitch length, grass, ground, all very important over 90 minutes!

Thanks for the feedback Lakai. I do remember trying to find a place that tracked volumes maybe 2/3 years back when I was choosing places to put my bankroll investment into. I ended up at CGN, but now that they've closed investment options, I withdrew and moved only a portion to pad up existing ones at Bitvest. I always think there the wagers are is where I should invest, variance notwithstanding, and somehow skipped over Bustadice before. Maychance I look them up some time soon.

@OP sorry for hijacking the thread somewhat, but I hope the related discussion helps bring attention to your PV project!

Max Keiser isn't exactly the best person to trash another's reputation, but come on, we're all on Bitcoin's side, so why can't we accept that Buffett's always going to be on the other side. Aren't we all expected to be on the side of the bets we're placing?

Personally, I think it's just fun and games to see all these guys slug it out against each other. We're just here for popcorn time, till we get bored.

I'm not an Arsenal fan, but I've always liked their management under Wenger though I think even he would agree he shares some of the blame for failing to turn potentials like Ramsey into what they deserved. See Ox Chamberlain, how it just turned around for him as soon as he made the switch to Liverpool, and I really, really thought Ramsey deserved a second life in Italy. Makes me sad every time I think about these types of lost players.

P.S. Well done buddy on MM!

Not so much your USP but curious about your route to regulatory compliance -- which within the EU can still vary right now. Only asking because of my somewhat unique circumstance: EU resident (for now) but not EU citizen, nor of any other jurisdiction within Europe but part of EEA (like UK, Switzerland etc.)

Your website doesn't really say how (unless there's a ToS I can't locate), but if you clarify, we'll know if this is closer to the LBC compliance model or not. It helps;) When's the ETA?

Edit: just saw your additional reply, so it seems the crypto exchange license is what you'll be pursuing. I guess we'll just have to keep posted, good luck!

Good call, but I wonder how accurate that site is? Still lists Peercoin on CGN when it's not been around there since at least last year (can't remember). If busta's still pulling it all that volume, then yeah, def worth a pop.

Now that you show it too, that's an excellent other data we'd all love to look at. Volume at PV sites!

I've been a Chiellini admirer for so long that yeah, logic dictates his best season is probably behind him now. Pogba €1.43 every four weeks so yeah, a cool 17 million in wages. Guys like him will have to take a paycut or never play again, even if the Real deal is true and happens.

Pity about Ramsey if true, I feel bad for the guy, and he seemed to be finally finding some joy again in Torino.

Yup! You're not diversifying when you spread your crypto investments into more crypto. That's just diluting your crypto investment, gambling for quicker returns and risking good capital.

You're diversifying when you add bitcoin to your portfolio. Anything else at this point truly is speculation.

Good luck to you guys raring to beat Steve, but I wonder if he'll actually surprise everyone this time. 3 hours means I likely can't make it (family man haha).


I think I know what you're talking about but I've seen them sites doing it and it's not PvP but computer v computer. Would be hard to have P2P betting AND PvP as the chances of fraud and manipulation are too high.

No odds there, just a share of the losing pool equal to what percentage of the total winning pot you put in. Minus house fees.

Or when they're relegated/demoted, stripped of titles, docked points and fined for match fixing;) Yeah, some clubs just don't have a model to recruit youth until they're desperate, and for a while I think that's also what I imply mentioning Pogba and Man Utd above.

Just glad my club sorted it out -- for now anyway. Naby lad tells me it's alive and well.

@OP Yeah, no worries, glad you checked back. I know how tough it is to juggle priorities but you'll want to respond quickly to voluntary feedback to maintain momentum. Again, the lists I semi-arbitrarily put up are based only on my experience but I still think the PV concept is one of the most underrated developments in gambling, and if there's a way to make it even dumber for dumb people like me to verify (and help understand how it verifies) then all the better. Open source it and link up with some of the other gambling devs here.

I watched RTS gaming when I was much younger (that's almost 2 decades ago) and I couldn't understand the attraction of *watching* then, so even today watching I totally don't get it. Gaming's all right for me but repetitive maps and plotless hacking and slashing seems to me just a question of who has the better gear, connection and fastest trigger finger so yeah, I guess you more or less confirm my bias;)

The cookie settings is probably the best workaround, but I won't be surprised if users could find a way to workaround cookies while still getting at your faucet. It's always going to be a problem for non-account sites, but you could do an internal check that sets the faucet only if the user sees enough ads -- which won't happen if he's already seen them.

@Trofo, cryptofrka, so are you guys feeling any better at predicting these games doing all these eSports selections? I've done a few, but generally don't learn anything new from anyone, the names are still unfamiliar to me too.

4/1 upsets happen about once every four times from what I could watch anyway. So the odds do seem to be "martingale-able". Agree?

Most important question to answer first is where you are, and which jurisdiction applies to you. Don't go Localbitcoins if you're from the US, for example, you don't want to go to jail.

If you're outside the US, chances are you can easily use Bitpanda without verification for that amount of Tether. Deposit it directly to them, and request bank payment. Not advertising, but it works easiest for Tether across almost all jurisdictions.

@coinlocket and Coyster: looks like Juventus simply refuses to get any younger, but I don't know, I always like seeing teams age and Juventus take it to quite a special level, wouldn't you say?

Now about Pogba, I HOPE he stays. Every annoying expensive superstar that stays at United for another season makes me happy to see their coffers get smaller and smaller. Not that I dislike the guy but he deserves United =p Or they deserve him =p Won't forget how he plundered points against Citeh!

Bloody hell, I missed it again too. Keep telling myself I'll make picks on Friday when I've had time to research (whatever that means, haha) but then I end up finishing work late and forgetting it all).

I scored 9 on the last one with 1 game cancelled, so I suppose it's "easier" in a way.

Lucky guy who keeps trying I guess!

I guess I'm not seeing the problems where you are -- it's arguably easier to find local traders in one of my locations now. Many more online traders (and our online payments are 24/7) than even a year ago and even more than during the 2017 boom. I WILL say that since KYC though, we've had many, many more foreigners on LBC (using local bank accounts).

But you're right in terms of visibility. In my other EU location, the same locals (cash) are still around but they don't appear on searches anymore. I think if you get in now as a new person, you simply can't find local traders unless you join local forums too (in local languages).

Much as I rather like the guy, and I think he'll be a typical Mane, Bobby or Salah at Liverpool (work rate up, assist up, goals up, cause he'll be surrounded by similarly pro-active go-getters), but this guy's a bit of a higher profile than either of our current three were before they joined us.

I know for sure Klopp only wants players who WANT to be at Liverpool, as opposed to a guy who wants to be at any club who wants him in a different league. But to be fair, courting Liverpool alone and not getting them would hurt his chances elsewhere.
