On 12th May in Tampere and Riga Ice Hockey World Championship will begin. 16 teams in 2 groups will play. One of hosts - Finland is reigning Champions. While Slovenia and Hungary got promoted from lower division. Most of teams don't have their birghtest stars because of ongoing NHL playoffs. Here is outright odds for tournament winners. Nothing new, Finland, Sweden and Canada is main favorites to win.

as expected West Ham won the game, but it was not an easy game for West Ham who during the game were losing until the 67th minute when they were lucky enough to benefit from a penalty and with that the game was tied, but West Ham got lucky again in the 5th minute when they scored the second goal and with that they just needed to manage the result well until the end of the game, a fact and this is not a result that guarantees West Ham in the second leg, they were the first to concede a goal and were lucky enough to benefit from a penalty kick i.e. the opponent is strong, it should not be underestimated because they still have a chance of winning and moving on to the final

the game that, in a way, left us surprised with the result, the game between fiontentina against baseeia, fiorentina scored first, they were supposed to be able to defend the result well and leave this game with a victory, but what we saw was basel scoring a goal tie and to make matters worse, fiorentina had the misfortune of conceding a goal in the 92 + 2 minutes, it was too late for fiorentia to react, with this defeat i very much doubt that fiorentina will be able to win in the second leg, i see baseia in the final, they play better than Fiorentina, and it's a shame that Fiorentina is falling back from performance
I think nobody expected that it will be easy for West Ham - after all, AZ is very solid team, while Hammers is near to relegation zone in EPL. West Ham dominated today's game, but 2nd leg can be completely different story.
That late Basel goal is huge hit for Fiorentina and it can be complete game changer, considering that 2nd leg is played in Basel. Going to away game with negative result is big risk, even when you look more powerful than your opponent on paper.

Just because they managed to beat United doesn't mean that they are great, United scored on their own goal twice, and they had some silly funny mistakes that was humiliating for the fans but they lost because of that in the end which makes Sevilla not that great. We need to understand that it is not going to be that great for them, and they can't really change much about it neither.

It's just how it is and we need to move on. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that Juventus has high morale, they are getting punishments after punishments from the league which drops the morale sometimes, if they can stop that and keep the players hyped about this game then they could end up with a win without a doubt.
Seems that your comment didn't aged very well Smiley As I said, Sevilla is unpredictable team and this is why I skipped betting on this game. And they were actually better team today IMO, no luck factor like against MU. 1 goal isn't huge difference, but now I see Sevilla as quite significant favorites.
Roma won 1:0 against Bayer, won my bet too. But Roma didn't had significant advantage today, it was game of more or less equal games, everything can happen in 2nd leg.

I think that second semifinal was weaker. Only song that I really liked today was Austria, it's really catchy. Poland - no chance that Blanka was singing live and no autotune was used. But it's not surprising that she got into final. Really happy for my country Lithuania as we reached final - I wasn't sure about Monika chances with this song.
Shortly - Denmark, Romania, Iceland, Greece Georgia and San Marino failed to qualify.

I think Juventus will get it, I know that most people think that Sevilla is on a good roll and they have done as well as they hoped for and Juventus has been troubling and have some issues on top of their head and when you combine all those facts together it looks like Juventus will fail. But the reality is that we are not going to really see anything like that, we are going to end up with something much better and that will end up with something much bigger and better for Juventus.

I feel like it is going to end up with a good result eventually for Juventus. When you attack a team from all fronts, you make the players stick together a lot more and that is why I feel like that's going to be the case for this game as well, they will probably get a win.
I really don't know what to expect Sevilla. They're struggling in La Liga, but after all, they eliminated MU. We can expect to see typical 1:0 Juve win, but I'll skip this game.
Roma - Bayer. Here I'm going with Roma win. Mainly because of home factor and also because Mourinho knows very well how to win in cups.
1246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2023 discussion: Who is your favorite? on: May 10, 2023, 11:13:39 PM
I might be biased but i think Finland got loudest audience respose in semi-finals, even though their autotune/compression technic failed at one point of the song. That was embarassing. But i will be gambling for it if i find decent odds for it from somewhere. Sweden had a safe bet with an epic song for any radio with a power playlist but i don't think it had enough that something for the big audience. Then again audience is not enough. There will be judges as well balancing the "troll" voting because apparently public doesn't know what song is best Tongue.

I would personally like if Kroatia won but that just might be a bit too avantgarde for big audience. But what do i know, big audience understood Bohemian rhapsody as well when it came.
Seems that bookmakers don't see other scenario than Loreen and Sweden win. She have great song, but it's not even close to song that she had in 2012 and won. And Finland looks like strongest candidate to give them fight. Jury voting is always contraversial part of voting. They also often vote based on relationship in poolitics or simply vote for neighbours.
Croatia isn't for everyone's taste, but I see them reaching good place. Such avangarde performances rarely can compete for a win, but Top 5 is possible.
1247  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: New to Bitcointalk and have questions about a future service on: May 10, 2023, 10:49:11 PM
Yeah, most of the services I've seen in regards to IPTV seem to not have the "proper licensing and permissions". Which is why I asked to just make sure. I most definitely will offer 24HR free trials to anyone whos interested, maybe those who are Hero and Legendary have priority (as someone suggested). Thank you for the insight everyone Smiley
You're completely right. If all IPTV offered here would have licenses and permissions, they wouldn't cost something like $10. And legal IPTV can't offer 10-15k channels from all world. For example, you can't legally watch Sky Sports channels outside UK.
So, yeah, it's completely OK to post IPTV services here. Though, if your service will become popular, you may get attention from agencies which defend copyrights.
BTW, it's your own service, or you simply reselling IPTV received from somewhere?

What a bad beat for Partizan, we leaded in fifth game 18 points and lost in the end this really hurts. Real Madrid was so lucky with those threes in second half and took the win somehow. If it wasnt for that suspension things could have went the other way for sure.
Real become first team in Euroleague history to make comeback from 0:2. It's even more amazing that they managed to do it when they were down by 18 points in Game 5. 4th quarter was amazing for Real, Llull, Rogriguez and Fernandez played like in their best times, Partizan couldn't do anything against Tavares who played with 4 fouls. Partizan managed to stay close until very end, but they struggled to make normal attack, many of them ended with random 3 pointers. Without suspension maybe it would have ended 3:0, but now it's only ''what if'' question.
I just add word about Fernandez - one moment he is dying with injured shoulder, minute later is dropping 3 pointers. Classic Fernandez and it's one of reasons why is probably most hated Eurloeague player.
Monaco wins game 5 against Maccabi, didn't saw it coming, despite that bookies favored Monaco today. Mike James was one fire in 1st half, but he was completely empty in 2nd half, but he got help from teammates, especially Loyd. Monaco reached Final 4 playing just 2nd their season in Eurloeague.
This season playoffs were maybe best in Euroleague history. Feel sorry for Partizan and their fans here.
Final 4 on 19-21th May in Kaunas. Real - Barca and Olympiacos - Monaco in semifinal.

Today 9th May parade happened in Moscow. Not in Kyiv as someone would like to see in his wet dreams. But this year parade was scaled down significantly. I'm wondering, why, what happened? Instead of showing new tanks like Armata, they only had one tank in aparade - T-34 from WW2 times. Some armored vehicles and few RS-24 YARS ICBM's. No air force display. In total, 51 vehicles, probably lowest numbers in many years. It looks that something happened. I can only insert this meme which relfects situation perfectly;

Meanwhile, Ukraine made some counteroffensive operations in Bakhmut and regained 3 km˛ of city (not official information). And Prigozhin continue to cry.

Nice exact score!
If you look at simple statistics, City seemed to be closer to victory as they had more dangerous chances and possession, but Real Madrid's chances were more dangerous ones.
Probably a draw is a fair result and in fact, even if it were 2-1 or 1-2, everything will be decided in the second game anyway - I like this much more than what happened with Bayern  Grin
Only 3 of 35 players predicted that game will end draw. I think it's a bit strange that so few people saw such outcome. In general, game was final worthy. As you said, City had more attempts to score, but Real was a bit more dangerous. Vinicius goal was really fancy, you don't see him often making such shots. 2nd leg game shouldn't less exciting


Milan derby tomorrow. Have no idea completely about this game. IMO, Inter looks a bit better now, but it can be said for almost whole season. And even if Milan doesn't looks amazing in Serie A, it doesn't reflect that much in Champions league.
1251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Euroleague 2022/23 Season on: May 09, 2023, 09:44:19 PM
Olympiacos today showed why they're winners of regular season. I think it was their best game in series and they fully controlled it. Sloukas showed no mercy to his former team. For Fenerbahche it hurts to lose Game 5, but I think it was good season for them.
Real - Partizan and Monaco - Maccabi tomorrow. I really wish to see Partizan win tomorrow. In other game logic tells to back Maccabi. I expect it will be fun. Now I only need to get 3 screens - 2 for Euroleague and one for Champions league Cheesy.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Euroleague 2022/23 Season on: May 09, 2023, 09:38:37 AM
Tonight is game 5 between Olympiacos and Fenerbahche. Bookmakers clearly favoured Oly and probably it's not surprising. But game 5 can't be about strategy, it's impossible for coaches to surprise your opponent when you already played so many times this season. It's going to be very interesting, I think that Oly players is under big pressure, while nobody will crticize Fener players much if they will lose today.

I didn't even knew that there is a spreadsheet Cheesy. Added my Bitcoin address there, but it's not visible, probably only you can see it. Yeah, current situation with Bitcoin network sucks. Last week I made transaction with quite low fee and it got confirmed only after few days. Let's hope that things will be back to normal in month.
Back to pool, I still have some chances to go up a bit. In best case scenario to 6th place. But I still can get out of Top 10. Still haven't decided what to do with Real - City game and I haven't made bets on it so far. It would be interesting to hear some inputs. Really want City win, but CL is Real playground.
1254  Other / Politics & Society / Re: South Africa tells Putin -"If you come, you will be arrested" on: May 08, 2023, 10:45:13 PM
For me it looks like South Africa is trying to sit on two chairs on the same time. They don't want to ruin their relationship with West too much, but at the same time they don't really want to arrest Putin. So, they now simply ask him not to come to South Africa.

To me it was a poor attempt from Russians to explain why Putin has to stay in the bunker because the enemy can even reach the Kremlin.
Ukrainian drone operators who can throw a grenade through an open hatch of a moving tank would miss one of many windows and security guards and hit a flag pole? Pretty low chance of that if you ask me. At the same time someone conveniently records the roof and manages to capture the whole incident from a hand held camera, or a phone.
For me it's difficult to believe that it would be Ukrainian drone. Especially when not so long time ago we saw news from Russia that they covering Moscow with more air defense systems around the city and even putting it on roof of buildings.
Maybe it's worth to turn on 9th May pared from Moscow tomorrow, maybe something will happen there Cheesy.

Sure... SA will arrest Putin and Russia will nuke SA in retaliation, or they'll pack some of their tanks on ships and ferry them to SA to take over.
There was messages from Russian propaganda and politicians that if someone will arrest Putin, they will nuke that country. So, let's say South Africa arrest Putin. Does it mean that Russia will nuke South Africa together with arrested Putin. Interesting logic.

(LTU_btc) Congratulations to you, you have finally reached such a milestone as a result of your tireless work. You have been posting on this forum for many years and you have succeeded in touching the 10000 post club milestone. Not everyone can put in the time you put into the forum but you have put enough effort into the forum over the years. And it is a very happy news for us to have such a legend like you in this forum. From my side I congratulate you enough and wish you long life, blessings and good luck.
Thank you, but please don't call me Legend. I haven't done anything significant to get such status. I'm just average user who simply spend lot of time here Smiley.

LTU_btc Congratulations on making such a big achievement on the forum.
Thank you!

I don't think so. To reach 10,000 posts is not too difficult if you consistently make 5-6 posts every day, I mean you will get that number in 5 years. But it's much better if you only focus on the quality of the posts rather than the number of posts you make even if it doesn't reach 10,000 in 5 years. The signature campaign will also affect your speed for reach it.
Couldn't agree more. I never had such dream - reaching 10 000 posts. It's just a number, some kind of milestone. There is no need to celebrate it, simply mark it somehow and move on.

Can't believe that Igot draw again. I already lost count how many times in a row I got draw, maybe 5. So, cup break is good for me to rest before final round. I still can go up a bit, but most imporant not to drop from current place.

Enjoy it guys  Grin No other forum competition gives you actual betting on yourselves. And I think our semi-finalists never imagined their names would be on actual Sportsbet page  Cool
Awesome, I will make bets on cup games for sure. Betting for yourself - I hope we won't have match fixing cases Cheesy.

I follow Eurovision and I place some bets on it each year. But probably I'm not going to watch Eurovision semifinals this year, as it will happen exactly on the same time as Champions league and Europa league semifinals. But I will turn on final on Saturday.
So far I heard just few songs from this year contest. Loreen is big favorite according to bookmakers and there is no doubt that she will win again, same like in 2012. For the first time her song didn't left me big impression, but when I listened it second time, I liked it more.
Seems that UK finally took Eurovision seriously, especially when it's held in their country after many years in the bottom. Their song is catchy and it sounds good on radio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRaVGKk4k6k
Poland is worth to mention. They have generic pop song and singer who can't sing live. Compare music video and live version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRaVGKk4k6k

Not very exciting race, I got bored a bit, despite that I support Red Bull. That's just too easy for Verstappen. He started from P9 and he needed just few laps to reach P2 and then reach 1st place after Perez pit stop. And later Checo with older tyres had no chance to keep Max behind.
Alonso - another day in the office and again he is back on podium. I really hope that he will get chance to win race this season.
What Hamilton did is also worth to mention - from P13 to P6, impressive.
1259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: May 06, 2023, 11:10:35 PM
We seriously need to revamp the whole " someone crashed so we have to stop" thing. I mean I get it, we are talking about something that should exist in the first place. Just like other rounds and sometimes practice, hold the time, restart after everything is clear. This is why we should be considering this method we should restart it so everyone can race to their deserved place. In any case we may keep it this way so that we could just have more fun as well, think about it Max started like this recently as well, forgot which race it was but he did start one like this as well and he ended up bening second like by lap 25. So he could end up being at high level easily very well but this will help Perez a lot and should be considering that as a good thing for sure.
Rules are rules, it didn't happened fo the first time, but indeed, such ending of qualification is awkward indeed. I think it's time to change this rule. Though, now we can expect very interesting race, Perez have great chance to win another race and make some pressure on Verstappen. While Verstappen may have difficult time to go from P9 up.

That's not going to happen and I am sure this relief for Benfica means such a huge relief to them. It could have become very close as you said, but Benfica deserved this one as they were the better team in many respects. But still mental pressure can force you into unnecessary mistakes any time and that would have been risky against Braga. Now Benfica really would have to screw it up to still give Porto a chance. They knew about the importance of this game and they did their job.
It's very important win for Benfica, after game ended, it was visible how much it matters for Benfica players. In general, it was difficult game, but Benfica were better. Maybe these stats isn't key thing, but Benfica xG stats is impressive - 3.63, it says a lot about game.
Now I don't see scenario how Benfica can't win title this season.
