Hello to all fans of England Premier League! Boxing day coming so here is some tips:

My 1st bet for this week will be match between  Chelsea FC v AFC Bournemouth
Starting date and time: 26/12/16 16:00 (sportsbet.io time)

This event can be found here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/pre-live/soccer-english-premier-league/chelsea-fc-v-afc-bournemouth/event/9600085?ref=tipster1

Match:  Chelsea FC v AFC Bournemouth
Betting option: Home win and over 1.5 goals
Odd: 1.56
Stake: 0.015 (15mbtc)
Return: 0.023 (23.40mbtc)

Proof:


After 3 wins with only goal, i think that is time for Blues to hit some more goals, in this case at least two. We will see in few days. Stay tuned for more tips from EPL ! Good luck to followers

I hate those odds due to the fact that Costa and Kante are both serving one match bans.  And I wouldn't underestimate Eddie Howe and Bournemouth here.  He's clever and will definitely take advantage of those two key players being absent for their match.  The man to watch here is Jack Wilshere.  He'll definitely be more effective without Kante's influence in the midfield.

Oscar(25 years old! ) officially goes to Shanghai SIPG.  Chelsea go to 60M of $!

I don't understand how a player so young decides to go play in a low-level league.




A player like Oscar wants first team football but it looks like he doesn't have a permanent spot in Conte's preferred
3 4 3 formation.  He probably got disillusioned with football in Europe and decided he could play for the money if the transfer to China takes place.

That's actually good news for Chelsea because they'll have extra funds to acquire Veratti with this January or on the next summer transfer window.  I'm pretty sure he'd love to play under Conte since Veratti played under him in the Italian national team.

I just found out...  Alan Pardew is sacked by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.  It is also understood that Sam Allardyce will replace him.

Between Pardew and Allardyce, I pick Pardew.  I like his high tempo style compared to Allardyce's preference in playing defensive, long ball football.  Palace should have given him a longer time to stay at the club.  Maybe they sacked him because he broke the club's transfer record twice and it has gained them nothing.  Grin

Here's a link to the news.

These predictions are mostly nonsense.  I say this because every altcoin depends on the rise and fall of Bitcoin.  Look at the current prices of all the altcoins mentioned in the OP.  They're all in the red.  Now why is that?  The answer is pretty obvious.

This is the only worthy news update among all the proof of work based coins.  The sad thing with Monero's recent release of its GUI is the timing.  If only Bitcoin isn't go through a strong price surge, XMR could be doing one of its own right now.  Put it in your watch list and look out for this one imo.

BTC/USD:  The Parabolic Rise...  And When Things Start Breaking Down



This is where active traders, both pros and amateurs, start getting irrational and become risk averse as their gains start getting big.  In my experience of observing all the different coins and tokens traded in the scene, this is where some cheeky traders start taking profit by dumping on the clueless ones.  They live by the mantra 'Buy when others are fearful and sell when others are greedy'.  In knowing that some of the other short biased cheeky traders start placing their huge shorts in the market right now and make a killing when the trend reverses.  And with BTC, falling prices do fall fast. 

I'm not saying that Bitcoin will surely fall vs the USD right now, all I'm saying is that it's time to be careful.

Who win the Premier League: (updated 23/12/2016)

Chelsea        @1.70
Manc. City    @5.50
Liverpool      @7.50

Arsenal        @11.00
Manc.United @20.00
Tottenham   @25.00


with 11 straight wins (with 3 other victories sets new record in the Premier League) Chelsea has become the big favorite to win.
I am convinced, however, that the City of Guardiola will fight until the end.
Liverpool and Arsenal are the usual unfinished.

Surprisingly the bookies think Man City is more likely to win it than Liverpool, and the same with Man United and Tottenham.  I would think it's the other way around.  I'm also curious what the odds are for Man United to be in the top 4, I'd rather have a Mourinho team in the CL next year than a Wenger team.

I feel BoX was justified in not counting/paying for those posts. You cannot make seven constructive posts in ten minutes. If I managed this campaign, regardless of whether it was close to the deadline or not, I wouldn't have counted most of those. Don't like how the campaign is managed? Find another one. Plenty of other campaigns managed by different people.

Yup.  That's called spamming.  And Boxx is running the campaign really well because he actually checks every single post and he's willing to remove participants if they catch them spamming.

Btw...  Thanks for the payment.
10991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 207: Rousey vs Nunes Prediction and Info Thread on: December 22, 2016, 06:29:14 AM
Only 10 days to go for the fight, still haven't firgured out what to do with this one. I didn't bet any fight in UFC 206 because I didnt saw it clear except for the Urijah fight where i thought he could win but I wastn sure 100% so I lost an opportunity to make money.

Now with this new fight I cant honestly predict any of them.

True.  I was sure I was betting on Nunes the minute I heard about the bout, but then I found out later that almost everyone was thinking the same way I do that Rousey might be psychologically impaired to take such an important fight.  And yet the lines stayed almost the same in the sports books.  Do the odds makers know something we don't?  Are the sharps still holding out until the last minute to pour the money in?

It almost feels like the sharps are waiting for the Rousey line to improve and pour all the money on her.
10992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: December 22, 2016, 06:15:02 AM
So any prediction for boxing day?? Or because no bigmatch on that day??
I need some preview+prediction for Leicester vs Everton and Most popular web & tv show only talking about key players that would not playing on that day..

Boxing Day -

Arsenal vs WBA - Arsenal win (surely they'll return to winning ways after 2 losses)
Chelsea vs Bournemouth - Chelsea win (No Costa or Kante but they will still win)
Leicester vs Everton - Both teams to score
Man Utd vs Sunderland - Man Utd to win
Hull vs Man City - Man City to win


Isn't Vardy serving a one match ban for the alleged double footed tackle in their fixture against Stoke?  Everton has also lost their last 4 away games which could make Koeman use a more defensive approach.  A bet of under 2.5 goals is more likely to happen than both teams to score.  And please put the odds right beside your predictions.

The sheet has been updated and provied to Alex.

Also after giving it a little thought posts in Tipster, prediction etc. threads will not count towards the post amount. I'll talk with Alex about this and get it updated to the OP asap.

You can't do this in the middle or at end of the week when payments are made.  That's unfair.  You know I make it a point to make good posts in any thread.

Quote
EDIT: Also in general it would be appreciated that posts in Gambling discussion threads that are obviously just spam would be reduced. I think I will have to make my selection process a bit more strict the upcoming weeks and the next count I'll be very careful with selecting the accepted posts.

In my case I beg you to reconsider.  All my posts in the gambling discussion sub, be it in the prediction threads or not were NEVER made to spam.  So please make an exception to the users like me who are trying to make good content in the gambling discussion sub.  Please check my posts.

Edit:  And where do you expect we post in the gambling sub?  In spammy threads like these?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1550071.0

It would be better to ban all posts in the gambling sub altogether.  Which is counterintuitive since BitDice is a gambling site.  It's better to regulate each post the users make anywhere in the forum.  If you can't do it alone, I will be very happy to help you to flag spam posts and send them to you for approval each week.  What do you say?
10994  Economy / Speculation / Re: My Bitcoin Speculation Thread. Please Critique my Analysis. ;) on: December 21, 2016, 04:01:19 PM
Ok, so it looks like it's still going strong.  What more analysis can we all come up with?  Mostly nothing of value if you're not holding Bitcoin.

So for all the BTC holders out there, I have nothing but this song to celebrate the current price surge!

I liked the result of the last match before the break of the EPL season before the holidays.
Mane is one of my favorite players so that was fitting for him to put that goal in off the post.
It was kind of funny to see a cracker thrown on the field then a smoke bomb to signal that the Everton team choked at the end. Cheesy
Even their players on the field had to hold their shirts in front of their faces to cover the smell of that bomb.

Do you really follow the EPL or are you making random posts for the BitDice sig campaign?  If you must know, the EPL has no Winter break.  They will play next week on Boxing Day, other weekdays and on the weekends.  
10997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My Speculation Thread (Charts and Analysis Included ;)) on: December 20, 2016, 04:39:37 AM
...

The capping of ETC's coin supply is not a rumor, it's true.  If this is truly a bull trap remains to be seen, as we could be witnessing a start of a large trend coming.  I base this assessment on the increasing hashing power of ETC.  The miners from ETH could be pointing their rigs to ETC now because Vitalik seems motivated in switching to POS.

In the short term moving away from a fixed coin reward may create an increase in price in ETC because of the increase in scarcity, but fundamentally this is a very bad move over the longterm. The falling coin reward will put into serious question the ability of ETC to scale while at the same time maintaining the security of the proof of work.

It would be very ironic if capping the the coin supply in ETC leads to ETC surpassing XMR in market cap while at the same time removing ETC as a competitor of XMR in the area of an adaptive blocksize with a secure proof of work. As I have said before I have not seen a solution for an adaptive blocksize with a secure proof of work without a minimum tail reward. Minimum fixed fees in the protocol is not the answer here. This could easily become very serious long term pain in exchange for some short term gains for ETC, and some short term pain in exchange for long term gains for XMR.  

Ok...  I totally get what you're arguing for needing an adaptive blocksize + some sort of additional reward system in place to scale and for miners to continually secure the network once all the coins are mined.  I want to take that argument to Bitcoin.  Will that really affect BTC, or will it really matter?  It's still a long way to go til 2140.

In theory you could be right, so I could not really argue.
10998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Soccer Transfer Market 2016/2017 ! on: December 20, 2016, 04:27:26 AM
Maybe.  But see how Kante is played by their manager.  He is given the freedom to move forward if he sees there's an opportunity.  I think if Chelsea got Verratti, he'll play more of a deep lying, central midfield role, with Kante moving forward.

Now thinking about it...  Falconer, I think we may have found Carrick's replacement for Man United.  Yup, it's Verratti.  He could play the Pirlo role at United.
Thats the special skill Kante has, and we should realize that he took the most important role in Leicester and this time is Chelsea.

Hey, I think youre right tokeweed, I didnt think about Verratti, but when you mention his name, I agree with you. Well since there are Krychowiak, Motta, Matuidi and Rabiot in PSG, I think its the best time for Man United to try signing him.

Here's another thought.  Instead of spending millions, why not make use of Schweinsteiger for the CM role?  He is suited for it and could even play the position better.  Sometimes Mourinho is confusing and illogical but he probably has good reasons for them.  But still, it seems ironic for a manager who has a pragmatic approach.
10999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: December 20, 2016, 04:00:36 AM
WTF LOL...... Why the stoppag time increase to 8 minutes? I know the injury of Stekelenburg might have take a while, but 8 minutes is way too long. Put that thing aside, it was deserve win for Liverpool, give them full credit for not giving up easily. That goal just suddenly came to Everton, I think they will kicking themselves in the dressing room, after so much they give still couldn't find a result.

I watched the replay and had the same reaction.  With the way the game was going I can't help but think someone out there wants Liverpool to win.  It's a conspiracy against Man City!  For some reason they don't want them to have the second spot at the table!  Grin

11000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 208: Holm vs De Randamie Info and Prediction Thread on: December 20, 2016, 03:54:24 AM
The UFC should have waited for the legendary Cyborg to fight for the inaugural 145 pound belt and i am really surprised by the lack of support for Cyborg by the UFC new owners and Dana White especially. Cyborg is the pound for pound best female fighter in the world and she should have been the first UFC 145 pound champion,instead they have other plans. Holm lost her last two matches and lets hope the best fighter wins.

I think I know where this is all going, and it doesn't need Cyborg.  If true, then I wanna say that Dana White is a genius.  This might be the most likely scenario that he wants to happen:  

Rousey wins her title back against Nunes at BW.  Then Holm wins the inaugural FW title fight making her a champ there.  Then have those two fight again at either BW or FW, most likely at BW and then one of them get to be the first woman who holds two UFC titles.

That will be one mega fight that could out sell McGregor's selling record.  

What do you think?  Plausible?
