Giggs needed to be removed, he's been hanging around there with Moyes & then with LVG adding absolutely nothing. Mourinho probably refused to have Giggs as part of his backroom staff.

Just because you're a great player doesn't mean you have the tools to be a great coach.

Yeah and the worst thing for Giggs is Mourinho wants Rio Ferdinand to be in his inner circle backroom staff.  So he really had to leave because he's not going to be a part of anything.

Maybe Ronaldo could be a decent manager given the chance.  Watching the Euro 2016 finals there was a comment about him about being a manager one day when he was trying to boost morale among his team mates.  I thought yeah, maybe he can be.  And maybe that's what he meant when he said one day he'll return to Man United.

I have to be honest.  I don't really know these fighters and I would have to watch videos of them to make bets on this card.  But I hope some of you do, and would enlighten everyone on these match ups.
11923  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on sport = gambling? on: July 11, 2016, 11:09:56 AM
Anything where is money been placed in shape of getting more back or loosing that is gambling. Sports betting is not safe and has equal risks as gambling in other things. Most recent example can be seen in yesterday's euro soccer match where many people lost money on France inclusive me. If this was not gambling then what is should be considered. I make no difference between both.

You have it all wrong.  To play properly you should not avoid risk but to manage it.  By doing that you should know what you're doing and have the right amount of bankroll to go through all the variance of sports betting.  If you got it all right you're winning line will trend up gradually.

Firstly if this is the same tokeweed and the account has not been sold then i would probably trust you ti escrow a deal from me but i have to ask, why on earth would you want to be an escrow provider for?
They get fuck all on each deal and always have the stress of keeping the coins safe in between deals. As far as i can see its not worth it.
Even if you can keep the coins safe something can always go wrong and you often have to be the mediator.

Trust me mate, not worth the hassle.

Hahaha!  Yes this is still me.  And yeah, I decided not to do it.  I'm going to interview escrowers as an alternative and include some of their answers in 'Bitcointalk:  A Newbie's Guide to Fun and Profit'.  It's something I've been thinking of writing.

And his coaching style is exposed?  Lol.  If that were true then why did Man United choose him over Giggs?

Giggs needs more time to learn that is for sure and they are not the type that will sack their club legend when he is not doing well as the coach so instead they choose him over giggs. Sooner or later when giggs is ready, giggs will get the throne no matter what achievement mourinho gave to manchester united

I agree with you, giggs is not ready, even he is the veteran player on manchester united. I rather pick mourinho than giggs, i think mourinho will do better on manchester united.

giggs has no experience in big teams
i took him rather to coach some championship team to gain some experience


Giggs and mourinho would never get on it was obvious giggs was out the door, also watch for mata to never get a game and rooney to leave end of the season.

Mata is gonna be sold before the transfer window closes.  As for Rooney, I don't know, if he gets back to form he might like being at Mourinho's system.  He pointed out that Rooney will play as a "No. 10, No. 9 or a 9 and 1/2" under him.  That's where Rooney is strongest.  I wonder why LVG thought it would be a good idea to play him deep.

However, Chiesa pulled out due to a back injury on June 27. On the following day, it was announced that promotional newcomer Landon Vannata would replace him and the bout would be moved to the co-main event, as a bantamweight bout between former interim UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Michael McDonald and John Lineker was revealed as the new headliner.

- Alex White was expected to face The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber winner Ryan Hall, but pulled out on June 28 due to an undisclosed injury. Hall elected to fight on a different date rather than have the promotion find him a replacement.

Exactly.  That's why not any manager can bring Man United to the top 4.  I don't know why the other guy thinks so.

It's true the rumours? Mario Gotze's father has met twice with Tottenham's bosses during the Euros to talk about a transfer this summer.

There are talks on going yes.  But I don't think he's going to Tottenham with the wages he's asking for.  The most likely scenario for him is to go back to BVB.

There are news that Real Madrid has given up pursuing on Pogba so it's making it likely that he's going to United.

… and why is it spiking so hard? Any news?

Just a crazy pump, that's all. MMNXT was a dividend-paying Nxt Asset that's long been folded into another one, called NEXT. It's as dormant as Protoshares, which itself was pumped hard for no reason Huh

I'm surprised it's listed at Poloniex.  Surely with their new found status as the 'go to exchange for altcoins' they should start cleaning up their listed coins.

Klopp has a big transfer window and summer training camp for the first time with Liverpool. He can build a better squad than previous year. I consider them one of the favorites alongside Arsenal and Manchester City. Leicester City has no chance this year. Manchester United will fail with Mourinho. Chelsea is not good enough to win the league.

I disagree.  Mourinho will bring Man United back to top 4 contender status.  Although winning the league is the primary goal, being back to top 4 is good enough for his first year.  I think Arsenal will be the one struggling to get to top 4 with Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool going for it too besides the two Manchester clubs.  Everton is no slouch too, I hope they get good acquisitions.

They can easily be Top 4 with any coach. Arsenal - City - Liverpool - Chelsea only one team struggle and you are in Top 4. Tottenham and Leicester won't play like previous season. I don't like Mourinho and I don't finf him successful last years. His coaching style exposed and teams know how to stop them.

No they won't.  Not with Pochettino, Klopp, Conte, Wenger and Pep in the league.  Look what happened to them under Moyes and LVG.  Top 4 wasn't assured under them.  And it's still a struggle under a better manager like Mourinho.

And his coaching style is exposed?  Lol.  If that were true then why did Man United choose him over Giggs?

BTS and FCT are trying to breakout (again) on decent volume.  Let's see if this trends this time around.  I will post charts if I can later.  I have a cold at the moment.  So I'm staying in bed.  Hehe.

Hamilton should win this barring any unlucky event or someone crashing into him.  The weather could also be a factor.  The cooler the track, the more advantageous for Redbull.  We could see Max Verstappen winning a race again.

Do you have any plans on adding prop bets for MMA betting?  Examples of these are 'Win Inside the Distance', 'Win via Submission', 'Win via Decision', etc..  You get the point.  It would be fun to have it offered in your sports book.  Thanks.

People only respect $$$, and its clear thet ethereum community when they get chance to decide they will move and hype option which they think in short term will get them more $$$

No one there care about hard fork or anything, Vitalik is GOD for them as he play the ball and price move the way they like, is it soft fork, hard fork for the sake of personal interest NO ONE CARE!

Maybe one of the reasons why the attacker did what he did?  I speculate something much deeper than stealing ETH in his agenda.

A quote from Mage's statement.

Source

Quote
Vitalik, you are what Charlie Lee is to Litecoin and Satoshi is to Bitcoin. You are the guidance, leadership, and vision to Ethereum. Being in such a position of power influences the future of Ethereum, to include forks. The mere suggestion to fork (short of a major bug in the base software) in your circumstance is irresponsible. Because you are the lead developer and creator, involvement of any type would again set a dangerous precedent in uncharted territories. This could have consequences worldwide in legislation, where I fear your actions today will be debated tomorrow in every congress in democratic states. A developer’s influence shapes a coin’s community and developers worldwide should stand up with me and announce their disapproval of any action on your part. Developing the code and throwing it into the wild in order for the community to decide whether to fork or not does not abstain you from the future of Ethereum due to your influence. Once the word “fork” leaves your lips for others to hear, you have already swayed the masses to a degree.

The program was set up as a contract, pointing to the code as the final word. Therefore, interpretations of the code (including bugs) are tantamount to the legalities of the “attacker(s)”.

In other words, I personally believe that the attacker was well within his rights to exploit this contract. And now the community suffers for a poor implementation of a contract.


I mentioned this before, we haven't heard from the attacker since the fiasco waned.  He could be a move or two ahead of Vitalik and co. and a hard fork will put them in more of a rut than out of it due to legalities.

The attacker may get no monetary reward from all this when lawyers get involved, but I don't think that's his (or their) primary objective.  As to what that is I don't really know.  The plot will thicken.

Another race in the bag by Lewis Hamilton, barring any bad luck (and bad decisions made) during the race of course. 

I feel sorry for Rosberg.  I think it would be better for him to go.  The question is where?  Kimi just signed a new contract, and Daniel Ricciardo doesn't look like he'll be leaving RBR.  Or he could if Merc come calling.  They could swap drivers. 

Azguard, what do you think of a Hamilton - Ricciardo partnership at Merc and a Rosberg - Verstappen partnership at RBR?

And sure, I'll play.  Smiley

I am almost certain that I have seen some kind of announcement of Fantasy Sport League for bitcoin somewhere around Bitcointalk.
I haven't paid much attention then so maybe it was simply someone asking if bitcoin community would like to see service like this introduced.

I will try to search for it in my free time.

Please do.  The EPL wil start next month, let's try to organize a league before it does.  Anybody up to it?  Let's play small.  Maybe 5 - 10 USD worth in BTC?
11940  Economy / Gambling / Re: Daily fantasy sport on: July 09, 2016, 01:07:22 PM
Yeah, I also checked out GGFantasy.  There were no games were running.  I wish there was a Bitcoin DFS site where we could create our own fantasy league then the regs in the gambling section get to play against each other.  That would really be fun.
