See many missing names, guys what are you waiting for? Go and join, the more we have, the more money I win  Grin
will pay and join this week  Smiley 
best and worst signings you ask? I think Kalvin Phillips will be a flop. He's the most overrated english player right now imo, paying almost 50M for him is a daylight robbery... best sigining, Haaland. He'll prolly score like 30+ goals or something if he can stay injury free (big if).

I honestly never watched him play but City would not be buying him if he was not decent right? I tend to really not look much at English players who are overrated,,, like even my own player Kane, they seem to perform worse when rated. Though for players not really rated like Trent (Liverpool rate him high but can you imagine no club wants to buy him or even Southgate does not like him???) I really think they are awesome.

Haaland I think can do 15-20 goals but he does have to score 30+ for him to not be a flop, at his price tag! Same about Nunez!

I was waiting for if I could trick DireWolfM14 about if I'm a U.S.A citizen or not but I have given up.  Cheesy I made my payment a short time ago and I have got my place in the pool. Even though we seem to be not many people I'm predicting that we are going to reach 50+ people this year. It is going to be a really very tough pool.

Haha this makes my day,,, I would play the offer for others but I doubt there are many people from my country on this forum, or I never met them. Not even on Sportsbet chat!!

Takes scammers to run a scam Sad
That's the reality of this crypto world, it takes scammers to run a scam indeed. And it's scary to think that scammers are getting smarter and creative in plotting their scam each passing days. And every single time, there's always those people that fell under their scammy scenarios. They could make the most of the trends at the time to scam everyone, be it a new projects, a copy-cat of other projects or NFTs. 

Not really if I am being honest the scammers have not gotten smarter, they use the very same ideas in 2016 and 2017, talk about hype, hire influencers, open groups, create fomo. New tech, new tokens, but the same sales tactics are in use and the people who fall for them, surprise! Are also the same type of people.

Trends do not change the tactics,,, and some people refuse to learn lessons.
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: July 12, 2022, 07:08:44 AM
You got your point. My point was - for example the roots of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor conflict has started in twitter; from Artem Lobov posting shit about Khabib and Co. All the trash that McGregor was punished for has started in twitter. It was not because two fighters gonna fight and both showed on cameras how they hate each other. As MMA and UFC is more about entertainment, trash and promotion then fights, following fighters twitter accounts is like an addition to sport. Like a "directors cut" or "extra scenes" on DVD with a movie, if we draw parallels between MMA and movies.

I like this analogy  Cheesy Someone told me also if you watch the kickboxing fights in our neighboring countries, the fights themselves last 10 to 15 minutes each, and that's half of that avoiding and moving around. But the 1-2 hours before is all about extended version, smaller fights non official, and both supporters talking shit and getting drunk!

So I get it Smiley

No he didn't become any better, drinking all the time he is the same lowlife like before, but nobody cares about him anymore.
There are some talks he is directly connected with mafia cartel in Ireland, and he made some stupid tweets when Khabib was introduced in UFC Hall of Fame.

I think the Irish cartel thing is farfetched,,, basically anyone who made it out of some countries generations ago (Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong are some examples) of course have someone in the family who paid cartel services to help them move. It does not make them linked.

Anyway, I also think he has become 'nicer' than before, but that is my new impression!
125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: July 11, 2022, 11:58:43 AM
Oh man so awesome, I just won the UFC prediction contest,,, first place I mean, Harkorede and tomahawk09 also won it.

Actually this time was a bit random I chose 4 or 5 favorites oddswise and the rest I selected all the names on the LEFT side. Which leads me to ask this question, left side is usually the defender and right side is the challenger,,, am I correct? Or they mean nothing? Smiley
126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum’s failure to close above $1.3K on: July 11, 2022, 11:24:47 AM
And it only gets worse now,,, I actually thought ETH would not follow Bitcoin down this weekend too, specifically because of the successful testnet merge where everything really seemed to go according to plan.

The other scenario is bulls want the bears to win and pull price down below 1000 again -- dip and surge to 1300 is instant 30% gain, and very easy to happen with these levels.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: July 11, 2022, 09:07:58 AM
I just joined the pool invite already,,, as the 10th member Smiley

See many missing names, guys what are you waiting for? Go and join, the more we have, the more money I win  Grin

BTW Spurs is in South Korea for preseason,,, and I saw Manchester United and Liverpool are in Thailand. Those two always seem to go together IIRC last 2 seasons also they were in same place. Is that not weird for enemies?

Who do you guys think will be the best and worst signing for 2022/2023? I hope Richarlison is in this list,,, but obviously not as the worst!!

Yes it's 10% of total wager I still get profit  7mbtc from my total deposit somehow my luck is in Sportbet.io this week  Cheesy
I just watched the Djokovic  - Kyrgios match if Djokovic win today it means that tomorrow there will be another free spins
Do you take part in this promo? Win, Win, Wimbledon! , at least I've got 4 times free spin during this period.

Regretfully no,,, I did not take it. I thought the odds were too small but now I see everyone who took it not only won the profit but also got many many freespins. I guess you guys got something like 6 sets of freespins in total right? How much did you get in winnings?

The strange thing is you even become more careful with it and can grow it!

Lol, that's smart of you.  I'm the exact opposite, I squander my free bets like I stole them.  I almost always create the most outrageous multi long-shot on which to wager my free bets.  I haven't won any, but it's still fun.  And, if "fun" isn't the point, you're doing it wrong.  Cheesy

Hehe I know what you mean but I actually also 'waste' them to bet on crazy things,,, especially when I just realized the bet is expiring as I forgot to check and have to use it immediately. I think 50% of bets are on x100 like you, and then the rest is more reasonable. But I think just from 4-3-free alone I bet usually on singles or max 2 or 3 multis, mostly Spurs related and I'm amazed myself to see the amount won. Going to try and keep it growing  Cool
129  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Sportsbet.io's Premier League Prediction Sign-up. 0.0025 to join 0.2+ in prizes on: July 10, 2022, 11:11:27 AM
I have paid. Nice idea for Sportsbet hosted pool on their site but that would probably exclude a huge number of players, if you notice many Sportsbet supporters actually cannot participate in many promos. I have to ask Steve for special permission otherwise I actually cannot use the site Smiley

Superbru is not perfect but everyone can easily play there. Like this forum,,,, everyone can use. I think it is important to keep things open for all.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: July 10, 2022, 11:07:59 AM
Hey guys I paid my fee already  Cool

Would I suggest however that we update the thread title and OP to include instructions because I had to look for it,,, or maybe I could not see it easily being a mess in my head.

For us repeat players that is easy but newbies would never know I think if they visit this place. I quote again for anyone who missed.

Sign-up thread is now live: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405399.new#new

Got the 0.2 from Sportsbet so huge thanks to them and jeremypwr for sorting that out. It's 0.0025 to join and first place will be a guaranteed 0.1. The rest of the money will be split between 2nd to 10th places like last year. There will again be a free $50 bet to every weekly winner who scores the most points that round so that's 38 chances to win a free $50 bet. All you need to do is win one round and you've pretty much got your money back.

The Premier League starts on the 6th of August so we've got a month to get people signed up and paid. Please spread the word so we can hopefully get 50+ users and add to the pot.

I think this kind of fraudulent projects will always pop up every time there is a new trend.  Scammers are experts in exploiting the trending and hot talk of the industry.  They even release several fraudulent projects at the same time, either copying other ideas or creating non-feasible ideas.  And still  unwarry investors always take the bait.

And as much as I want to fell sorry for the people who get scammed because they took the bait,,, in my experience many of them are not even first time scammed.

Just as many scam projects are actually having the same owners behind them,,, the same fake influencers and shillers,,, you also have the same set of speculators.

Takes scammers to run a scam Sad

Nice going BitcoinHunt3r! 1mbtc from freespins? That is 10% cashback!!

Never forget also to check all the predictions threads for Wimbledon, UFC, Brasil football and more Smiley I have not been picking it right recently but many great chances for freebets!

jeremypwr's prediction threads are a lot of fun.  I'm not a tennis fan at all, but the UFC and Sao Paulo predictions are keeping my Premier League withdrawals from getting too bad.

Totally agree with this,,, I think if I counted all the things I won from freebets, it really makes the pain of losing betting (from your actual balance) disappear. Even the proof is in my USDT account which I never deposited but in Sportsbet it is now $140 just from freebets. The strange thing is you even become more careful with it and can grow it!
133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: July 10, 2022, 07:51:31 AM
I am doing that aswell to my social media accounts but maybe leea-1334 has a bad experience in using social media, for me, I think to create a new account and be unanimous this time, so even if someone would bash you online, or say something or commented hurtful things all you need to do is ignore, and from that because Social media is really a good source of news and even though it is rumors, I think it is a good topic for the community, and you can also ask or talk to the community and I think there will be many members that will surely engage, you with what they think,

Not so much bad experience just I realized it wasted a lot of my time and actually was not so helpful in finding out actual information,,, but specifically to crypto it even made me waste a lot of money, stress, time, no positive gains just a lot of wasted time. Since leaving social media my work life and personal improved a lot. I used to spend hours surfing and then got little sleep  Grin

Thank you everyone for answering my questions of course.

I suggest to create a twitter account, find some popular fighters, follow them and fighters they follow. Sometimes it is more fun to watch two adults throwing poop on each other during months, then watch one of them being KOed in first round Cheesy

I do not find that kind of thing entertaining,,, there is even more nonsense maybe for football which I watch and follow but the most I do is watch some viral meme sometimes if it is really funny or someone I like. I guess I see the team more than the individual but of course for MMA it is way different. I wonder if there are clicks that fighters are part of?
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SOLANA PRICE ANALYSIS: IS SOLANA'S $40 TARGET REALISTIC OR MYTHICAL? on: July 08, 2022, 09:51:21 AM
Well, 40 bucks was reached literally end of last month and that means it hasn't been that long, maybe like 10 days? I do not know. This is why I believe that we shouldn't really be shocked if SOl manages to reach 40 bucks. This is also a bit about the market as well, if the market goes up then the price of SOL would go up as well.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike SOL and neither trade it nor own it anymore, I gave up all because of the problems they have with their blockchain and the questionable decentralization claims. However, if the market goes up, bitcoin becomes like 21k or so then it wouldn't be that weird to see SOl at 40 bucks as well.

Ah, I wish I could find the guys who were saying SOL at $100 was absolute bargain price, easy 2x back to ATH and that wasn't too long ago. I mean, fine,,, I think it has some great dapps but if utility was truly there then bear markets should not have scared them away right?

Bitcoin and Ethereum still continue raking up volume and difficulty despite price. What does this tell you?

My friendly regular reminder of utility matters Wink
135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com announces Israel Adesanya as their Global branded ambassador on: July 08, 2022, 07:03:06 AM
Anyways, as you had said, Let's move on to the next challenge for the Stylebender!
And that is a showdown with Pereira and it should be scheduled before the summers end come September.
If Dana is greedy enough to squeeze in another hot card as he had done two times in a row thus far.

I was having this same conversation in the main MMA section and most people there think this fight is too soon for Pereira so if Dana is greedy he should also be prepared to upset people if he makes this happen though right?

I have not seen for myself all of the fighters or if they have others more 'deserving' than Pereira so I guess we just have to wait and see. So you mean it is not usual to have these types of fights so soon?
136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top US Energy Company to Explore Bitcoin Mining on: July 08, 2022, 05:39:44 AM
I guess the customers that Duke Energy’s analyst, Justin Orkney, refers to are the mining companies themselves. I don't think that by exploring Bitcoin mining the energy company itself is interested to put up a mining farm. The way I understand it, Duke Energy is eyeing to provide energy to large scale Bitcoin miners. While they are already supplying energy to small scale Bitcoin miners, they are now studying whether or not it is best to cater to large mining farms as well.

Actually now I understood it. Reference is the final quote in OP he talked about customer phasing and Bitcoin demand response and that got me confused,,, but now I look it up and demand response is actually 'a change in the power consumption of an electric utility customer to better match the demand for power with the supply.'

So,,, now I get it thanks to stompix and ETFbitcoin posts. The customer is not the mining customer but the utilities customer,  the one who will be able to ask for better rates or change peak times in power usage.
137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: July 08, 2022, 05:06:21 AM
Just follow https://www.ufc.com/events and you will be up-to-date with most interesting Cheesy Or check https://www.tapology.com/ from time to time to see what is going on in MMA (or a similar https://www.sherdog.com/). These three ages will be enough.

It is no use to follow lots of sites. Most of them post fake news or rumours or inflate big fights from nothing. It will be enough to follow top fighters twitter accounts to follow who trashtalks and wants to fight, just to know what is all drama is about. But only match makers and money decide who will fight who.

Thanks! I enjoyed MMAmania but maybe that was more like because it was the first site I saw and bookmarked and now ads keep showing me updates from the same site.

Sherdog + Tapology is new for me thank you Smiley

Twitter and social media not for me. Some small bad experience and recovering,,, I lost a lot of my life to social media  Embarrassed
138  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | 0.28% House edge | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: July 08, 2022, 03:28:30 AM
But if you are only targeting VIP bonuses I recommend playing  Roulette with minimum bet 3k vs 3k satoshi because I think this game is safer than other games , 35mbtc wager needed in a week right the risk of loss is greater than the reward.

3k and 3k on both each red and black? well if you are actually planning on wagering using that method, do it on french roulette instead. If it hits zero, you lose only half of your stake so thats much better than the usual roulette. Theoretically, its a 2.7% house edge so with 35mbtc wager that would be almost 1 mbtc loss in average so thats pretty much the same isnt it

Yes whoever says roulette is cheating totally ignores house edge. Blackjack is still the best game for wagering. Just wager base amount, and never change it, and house edge will take you there much faster. Roulette is 10x more house edge. Just for me I used it because it was faster than BJ Smiley BJ if you are tired you lose focus, bad mistakes.

Good for you to easily coping up to your losses. I’m a bit concerned sometimes seeing post about loses because I personally experienced it too and it’s very hard for me to recover back to my to my feet. Having a strong personality and good emotion management is really a gift. What do you typically do when having a rest in gambling? Playing games or bonding with friends?

Have a friend system in gambling. Not to bond but to inform,,, he tells you when he wants to bet big, same for you. There is no judgement only advice. Somebody to keep each other in balance. Not even a good friend just doing a service for each other.

We all cannot trust ourself. So have back up.
139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top US Energy Company to Explore Bitcoin Mining on: July 07, 2022, 12:01:33 PM
It feels weird to me that they are exploring about customers and looking at demand,,, when a company these days wants to go into mining, there are no customers right? There are just investors.

Cloud mining days is long over I believe, there is no more customers to handle, unless they want to make public pools? I guess I do not really get that aspect.
140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: July 07, 2022, 10:45:46 AM
Cheesy hahaha I am just upset from my loss, and looking at him, I mean her she sure looks like a transwoman, not criticizing all transgenders, I respect them all, it's just an excuse for me for losing a bet but still congrats to her performance, it was a dominating performance per se, she even think twice in getting a submission but instead done a ground and pound on her opponent, but if she is using some gender modification substance I think this win is surely not credited as a win,

I know I know Smiley But still not nice to say something like that. I bet many of us if we go into the ring we will be accused of looking and acting like girls,,, the smallest girl in lowest weight category probably KO me in 1 second  Grin

You just need to familiarize yourself with all of the sites you will need and if you don't have knowledge about a certain fighter just research and look up what style the fighter is using watch some highlights, was some training, and look at the fighter stats will surely help you a lot, at first you would simply not have any knowledge on some terms or fighter but given some good and informative site will likely get to you advantage,

The Israel Adesanya fight will have to wait and it doesn't mean that Pereira defeated Strickland that is number 4 on the ranking will now likely have a title fight match, Alex Pereira will need to climb up a ladder, to face Issy, and for Khamzat Chimaev Is in the Welterweight Division by challenging Alex Pereira he would need to go up a division and that is the Middleweight division, surely that will be a great fight t watch but also it is not yet verified if a fight will surely progress,

The problem is not there is not any sites but there is too many sites and some of it seems to be just totally opinion and opposing to each other. It is sports so of course that is the way but feels much easier to read up about baseball and tennis which I also do not know about,,, MMA feels very much different.

Any idea when the next match is going to be announced? Also no info from sites about this Smiley
