Just wondering if there is an appetite for running a raffle for a copy of the "Bitcoin Day" Diario el Salvador newspaper? This has been stored with zero exposure to light, which is the number 1 enemy of newsprint paper. It has been covered with 160gsm black acid free paper in a grip sealed bag. I'm thinking 12 slots at BTC0.0005 per slot which includes registered delivery. If you are interested you can claim your slot, no need to send payment until all slots are filled. After slots are filled a block will be chosen, the last digit of that block will determine
the winner. |

Ah ok, I didnt know the 3rd State of Origin game was being played because Queensland have
already won the series, so they can make it 3 from 3!
Todays game in the NRL was another "over" winning bet, Dragons v Raiders, 26 - 36, thats
big scoring with about 5 minutes to go.

Tsitsipas vs Murray could be an interesting match. Everybody will cheer for Murray and as it is still early in the tournament, I think he can stand a chance. Tsitsipas is also not so consistent so there might some value on betting on Murray (or a handicap); need to check the odds.
The fight will take place today but I don't agree with you preferring Murray. I think Tsitsipas will have more advantages and a chance to win because he is a player who is in 5th place, plus he is much younger than Murray. On clay court Tsitsipas is my favourite and for this tournament he is still one of the favourites. The winning bet option for Tsitsipas I still think it deserves to win. I second that. They both surely deserve to win but Tsitsipas is much younger and arguably has more chances (some bookies don't think so). I hope everyone watched the Tsitsipas v Thiem thriller yesterday. That was a great 5 set match so intense wow. Anyway, some exciting matches to watch today (my bet marked in bold): Broady v RuudMurray v TsitsipasZverev v Brouwer Rublev v Karatsev Medvedev v Mannarino Etcheverry v WawrinkaCerundolo v LeheckaHave fun watching and betting guys!  Does anyone fancy Murray's chances against Tsitsipas? Its just about to start in about 5 minutes, Is a mini bet on Murray a viable punt? Murray - Serious experience, serious shot making but limited mobility v's Tsitsipas - Serious talent but poor current form and not a natural grass court player... Just looked at the odds and Murray is favourite - 1.75 v 2.05 for Tsitsipas... My two bets for todays matches won today, Wawrinka beat Etcheverry but he unluckily plays Djokovic next. and Bublik beat Wolf and moves on to play Marterer next so he should come through that one. |

...Well I had my last $1.05 in my wallet placed on that over bet @ 1.7 before I read your reply
The final score is Wests Tigers 12 - 36 Sharks - so funny! my bet nust about won by 0.5
Tomorrows game Dragons v Raiders 16th v 5th could go the same way! I might chance
my arm and go again with the winnings of above?
Just looking down the order of play and there are only 5 games this round?

Very good, so I guess the classical jersey on the left is the regular playing kit and the
tribute on the right will be the "away" kit.
We are only 2 months from the RWC in France, it will soon become time to be getting
properly excited.
So far representation for countries playing there by people who visit this thread is:
Australia - Timelord2067
Wales - Welsh
Argentina - darxiaomi
Ireland - aoluain
Anyone else out there lurking who will be viewing some RWC games? and making
a few wagers?
Nice resume you made. About the kit yes you are correct the regular one its the one on the left. I think we can make some pool contest between us for the RWC, i dont know if you are familiar with Superbru, but Rugby predictions are available, so we can make some pool prediction for RUgby WC, i dont think we an have a sponsor because we are really few, but between us putting like 2 mbtc or 1 mbtc or for fun. Let me know what you think. Yes indeed darxiaomi, we should make a pool system, hopefully we get some more interest in it. I think myself and Timelord talked about doing something a while back Australians will barrack for New Zealand unless we're playing them or visa versa, so count me in for New Zealand and Australia (unless we've got a Kiwi lurking amongst us?)
Ah shure put me down for France and South Africa too if we are doing that 🤣
NRLWests Tigers are up first this round against #3 on the ladder, The Sharks, thats another tough draw for them. Will over 47.5 @ 1.7 be a worthy bet? |

Schwartzman will play against Sinner... 3 matches have been played and all 3 times Sinner has won! (Last this year in Barcellona - Clay surface). Sinner is very confident in grass surface so probably it can be an easy match for him, specially if he will be in a good fit. Yesterday disappointing loss for FAA  this year has been really disappointing for him  Interesting win by Wawrinka, he was quoted as underdog (up to 3.50) but he was able to overcome the match against Ruusuvuori. Everything ready for Alcaraz, it's very hard he will face trouble against Chardy Ah yes Sinner should win against Diego. We are still waiting for Sinner to have a "brilliant" GS and get to a quarter final and Diego is not having a brilliant season but I would really like Janick to make a big mark at Wimbledon, he is big favourite for today 1.05 v 10.0 Up until about 2 years ago Wawrinka was my favourite player. He plays against Etcheverry which I think he should win also. So my two bets today are Bublik to beat Wolf and Wawrinka to beat Etcheverry. honestly, sinner has really disappointed me in so many "simple" games that I'm almost afraid to place a bet on him... Injuries, loss of concentration, lack of form, in short, a strong player shouldn't have these problems if he intends to become "number 1" or at least obtain results beyond the norm.
Today it is interesting to follow Berrettini vs Sonego. Berrettini (Wimbledon finalist) is going through a very bad period (he practically lost all the tournaments in the first round ....) I was hoping that this year Janick would do big things this year but it hasnt worked out that way...so far. Here is a question which can be asked of a lot of the younger players, is the high prize money and expensive lifestyle a distraction for them? On Berrettini, he just cannot get back to his former performance after the injury last year. |

Contrary to what some people think there will always be a divide between rich people and poor people,
Bitcoin wont solve this but it can offer everyone an opportunity to store and transfer whatever wealth
they have without permission from a third party.
We are already seeing interest from "institutional investors" towards Bitcoin, just look at the amount of Bitcoin
ETF's that are being applied for, this is to facilitate the wealthy people and their appetite to invest in Bitcoin.
Poor people unfortunately have very little to start with so it will be difficult for them to develop their wealth.

I have actually only one bet on for today and thats with Bublik - I really hope his recent
great form is not short lived and he can win today against McDonald, Its currently on serve
in the first set 3 - 3
Bublik is good, but he is down at the moment, and I usually avoid players that are mid range and recently had good tournament result, IMO, there is no players except for Djokovic and Alcaraz that can connect two finals in a row, on any surface, and grass is probably hardest to do that my bet is on Hanfmann, currently up against Fritz, had him to win set, but also to win match on higher odds/smaller bet Djokovic started good, easy win, although tie-break had to be played in third set At some critical point the match between Fritz and Hanfmann have got suspended due to darkness. More matches have been suspended whereas it is the only match that is at the deciding set where Fritz leads 3-2. Tomorrow both playing the deciding set with full energy could turn the match in any direction. A great comeback from Fritz, if not the match could've been won by Hanfmann long back and the points were 4-6 6-2 6-4 5-7 2-3. Well Bublik got the job done, he didnt disappear after losing the first set but powered through to win the following 3 - good performance but I'm not sure how far he can go, he plays Wolf next, I might back him again? Fritz is having a battle royale against Hanfmann, the remainder of the final set has yet to be played and it could go either way another battle royale was Mmoh v Felix AA, 3 tie breaks in the first 3 sets and Mmoh was able to break Felix in the 4th to win. Sofia Kenin winning Coco Gauff came as a surprise in this American derby. I was pretty sure Coco was going to win but I didn't place a bet for some reason. Boy was I lucky! Kenin won this in three sets 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
That was epic, I watched almost the last 2 sets, Kenin was on fire, some of the shots she made were fantastic but also Coco made a lot of unforced errors and had to try and play up to Kenin's performance. |

Natural intelligence is being replaced by Al. This is the situation of things with the way all is going. The pursuit for the creation of wealth has led to growth in technology and job loss.
I agree, I dont think that going forward humans can compete with the speed AI will be able to solve complex problems. Not that long ago, early learning maths were about learning the tables, being quick at multiplying and understanding some basic problems. I feel that today that is not going to be enough and is not either the best use of the pupils time for teachers and schools. What do we humans have to change about teaching to face a future with much more powerful machines and sophisticated AI?
and I'm not sure a different approach in teaching will bridge the gap needed to stay in touch with the pace that AI can learn. Learning tables has to be the foundation to every math problem. The only alternative could only be starting kids of with their tables at age 1 or 2 instead of 4 but realistically how much benefit could a child earn from starting 2 seasons sooner when the potentially reach the limit 2 seasons earlier. The human brain can only compute so much right? https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a28943849/unsolvable-math-problem/ |

So many picks to choose from today. What are you guys going with? I just started to filter them - grass is always so much harder due to a low number of tournaments being played on it. Any help is appreciated  Good odds on Nakashima vs Thompson, they are placed at 50:50 odds and I think Nakashima should be a favorite here. I have actually only one bet on for today and thats with Bublik - I really hope his recent great form is not short lived and he can win today against McDonald, Its currently on serve in the first set 3 - 3 Im watching the match between Mmoh and Felix AA and its one set each and in the third set its on serve, Mmoh had massive odds this morning, this will kind of be a bit of a shocker if he manages to beat Felix.... odds are currently 2 35 - 1.60 |

and there are some tough draws for the first round for some players:
Bublik v McDonald
Kecmanović v Schwartzman
Hanfmann v Fritz
Sinner v Cerundolo
Thiem v Tsitsipas
Berrettini v Sonego
These are matches which could go either way for those match up's while the likes of
Medvedev, Rune and Alcaraz have easy draws, these should be sure bets if there are
preferable odds
Alcaraz v Chardy
Medvedev v Fery
Loffhagen v Rune
