So bitcoin developers are up in arms against how the bitcoin blockchain has been used by ordinals and see it as digital graffiti which needs to be wiped clean from anything to be done with bitcoin and its usage going forward. Here is an article which describes what a hinderance these inscriptions can be to the future of the blockchain:  Will ORDI Price Go to Zero If Bitcoin Ordinals Are Censored by bitcoin developershttps://beincrypto.com/bitcoin-ordinals-inscriptions-ordi-price |

@ralle14Great prediction and the hindsight in seeing Newcastle losing to the Hot Spurs. I had them on the EPL forum pool to go on to victory aswell! Didn't see the lineups before the match started. Good on you for seeing missing players from both sides and determining the outcome in this way for the match. As it worked out well for you this time with an over even odds. Today we have the NBA to place bets on for the MOTD so any experts leave your predictions for these matches:  https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/todayThe in-season tournament just ended and seems the Lakers took the title from Pacers. https://www.nba.com/in-season-tournament/2023/bracket

Dak is Bak! The Cowboys just destroyed the Eagles and their tush push, which can only go so far if they can't produce anything from getting the first down out of it. Dallas were 1.59x prematch and priced by the bookies accordingly for this match. Had -3.5 points which was 1.96x was the easiest win of an NFL you could possibly ask for all year. Couldn't believe the score 33-13 with the Eagles offense being laughed off the field. Just Incredible! For Monday Night Football, we have two matchups for tonight:  https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/today |

The biggest and baddest fight card is left to til the very end to cap off the year at UFC 296! The promotional video for the official countdown just came out last night and well worth a watch if you haven't ever seen a UFC main event the entire year. This one is worth a view and you might as well witness how great a UFC can be with the final one of the year! UFC 296 Countdown | FULL EPISODE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqdG2xqdqkA bit of controversy ahead of this fight with Covington's affiliation with the Orange Man who was the first UFC champion to meet a US president in the history of the sport. So call it what you may, it is an accomplish for him and nobody can take going to the White House away from this guy. |

So Patriots managed to keep the Steelers at bay and actually win the game. Think I saw both quarterbacks getting switched out this game from what I remember when I turned it on while watching another sports team of mine playing at the sametime. For this NFL Sunday we have some really good matchups. Here are those markets for all of the American Football matches:   https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/todayThe ones that I am placing bets on are the Texans, Jags and Ravens. Good odds for Jacksonville in my books! Just hope Trevor Lawrence is alright today and cleared to play as I seen him practicing on Thursday right before the airing of TNF: Steelers/Pats match. |

BetBoom vs VP in BetBoom Dacha CS will start in a few minutes. It'll be interesting to see whether BetBoom can pull off another upset like they did against C9 yesterday. The 3.00 odd for BetBoom seems attractive considering that.
Not sure if anybody else caught the IGN video game awards show last night:
Glad to see Cyberpunk getting some love again. The comeback arc of this game has been amazing since its crappy launch in 2020. Looks like they did beat C9 as you predicted!  Just hope you went with you gut feeling and put a decent amount on them. Because as some have already mentioned, these professional top tier teams do not seem to take these smaller lesser known tournaments seriously so they either don't have their full roster enabled and playing or just avoid them all together. Spirt have been lighting them up and are currently playing the grand finals at Dacha against Virtus.pro: https://www.hltv.org/news/37733/live-updates-from-betboom-dacha-grand-finalAlas. Not everybody is happy at the result of what has happened to CS tournament play ever since CS2 was introduced. Among some of the pro players dropping out of matches and all out quitting over it:  Video by Chill Out Esports youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApyZvEQFf-kAlso about CyberPunk 2077: I almost bought the game last week as it was 40% off during CyberMonday.  |

Correct predictions yet again @ralle14 ! Bellingham did score but Real Madrid's sole goal in the match, which unfortunately the betslip didn't get cashed due to Real Betis Balompie's excellent form during the later stages of the game. Very sorry for needing to mention it as you would of already known if you were watching the match. And you also had the good sense enough to not bet on the Arsenal vs Villa match as they did exactly what you said they would do and defend on their home pitch against the gunners. So you managed to dodge another bullet on that one aswell. Taking Arsenal @2.02x prematch, I was telling myself it was good value because they would like to take their top spot of the standings back from Liverpool. Since they jumped them on the table with their performance in the match prior. But with that Aston Villa has won a record breaking amount of straight home wins at 15 which was held up from the 1930's. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/aston-villa-manchester-city-goals-result-b2459706.htmlhttps://twitter.com/SkySportsStatto/status/1723741176342163899For today's match of the day looks pretty simple doesn't it? Just back your favorite team to win. No ATGS too!  https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/today |

Everything seemed to work itself out after a little while, like it always does on the Sportsbet.io site. Alot of experts working in the background over there from the looks of it! So didn't need to trouble the fellas on their live support. Just waited a hot minute for things to iron themselves out. No worries our betting elites! The specials page eventually started working for me again just before the first match in the EPL begins in about a little over an hour. @ralle14 they do have one available for the table leaders. So Up The Arsenal vs a very red hot Aston Villa squad. They are in 3rd place from what I remember the announcer saying in their last match and think they have won 5 in their last 6 matches. Have to check the numbers on that one because I don't even believe in this streak from The Lions. Here is the markets on both the one you mentioned on PSG vs Nantes match and the above said match in the EPL for the Sportsbet Specials:  https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/future |

Not sure if anybody else caught the IGN video game awards show last night: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-game-awards-2023-everything-announcedOther than the winners of the year: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-game-awards-2023-winners-the-full-listThey showed alot of upcoming releases for the Christmas season and for next year into 2025 of course for GTA VI. Although not even a mention about the game as it is the bar every other gaming house is trying to reach towards right now. It is their competition from now til it releases, then they will all lose their $h1t when it does eventually come out. The show was basically a two-hour long commercial for all the big studio houses to show off their new wares coming out and the technology behind them. Notable ones were Fallout 5, Monster Hunter Wilds and God of War Ragnarok Valhalla. |

The Juventus special against Napoli later today is somewhat of a bargain. Two goals and a win for 3.00 is a solid combo, assuming Napoli have no problem scoring one goal and force Juventus to make at least two for the win.
I wanted to increase my stake more than usual, but I have to hold back since there's still a possibility for this to end 1-0 for Juventus.
Was watching this match as I had several bets on this match as it was a pretty dry day today in betting during this time. And once again you were correct in thinking what will occur during a match! Bravo. @arallmuus
So was I with the stamina that Manchester United had in this match. Erik Ten Hag must of grew some hair on that head of his with that win the other night against Chelsea. As they are just getting worse and worse now.
LOL well actually Ten Hag will probably lose more of his hair soon because so far most of Manchester United's goals were not coming from his striker. He really needs to start thinking of a way to supply all those balls to Holjund ( dude was running around with no one supplying ball for him ) because bringing in another striker is the absolute worst thing that they can do in the winter transfer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was about to skip this then I saw your post. Kinda reminds me that most of the time you always win on the MOTD specials so yeah I took the same bet lol. I probably would have gone for either Juventus to win or both team to score NO on this game if I hadnt take the MOTD special. Anyway I was actually dumb to even trust Newcastle would win yesterday and besides that, Everton was spectacular. He does do a good job of knowing when to hit it or pass to miss those losses. But unfortunately today wasn't that day. Napoli did absolutely nothing all match long. Osimhen played because I didn't see him on the ball at all from when I looked up at match while doing other stuff like I normally do while observing a match. Looking forward to the EPL matches over the weekend. But when I tried to see what odds they had each team at and if the specials for MOTD were available, I had a weird error that I've never seen before and was told to refresh the browser. Will try again later or early before the first match kick-off starts. |

^^ No I am sorry to say that won't happen. It is just a conidence that Sean Strickland looks like one of the main character from the GTA VI game. Certainly because it has been in creation for years beyond the world even seen or heard of Strickland. There was a video of him holding a gun in a video demonstrating what he would do during a break-in. I believe it was on his own youtube channel yesterday. Which probably will get taken down. The guy is really a psychopath as you can tell with the things that have been going on with Ian Garry this past few weeks on social media and throwing posts from all the popular platforms at each other over something to do with his spouse. It's all a complete mess that it is not even worth mentioning on here. Let's keep it focused on the fights on hand, shall we? This weekend's fights at Shanghai are roughly 24 hours away since they are happening in a different timezone and I think people prefer them to be at this time and not run too late.

I took another big risk at the end of the group games. I don't care if he comes or not because the gap has widened. If it comes I will get a nice point, but it won't be a surprise for me if it comes. As these are the last matches of the groups, I expect the teams to score goals against each other in most of the matches.
You need to take some sort of risk just to maintain and even jump over someone who is going to do the exact same thing. That being said I took some minimal risk but put in my picks for the Pot B predictions with the Red Star Belgrade match against a very bad Manchester City performance in all league play lately. So hopefully will get those 8.6x points for my marginal stake amount. I just submitted my picks. I'm not happy I got zeros in a row after spreading my stakes in a few places so this time I went a different strategy, half stakes on 1 game half on another. Both teams actually not much to play for except to consolidate or consolation but I hope the pressure of not needing to win is enough to let them have freedom.
Good luck to everyone except those above me.
Same here, I took only three matches. Those being Arsenal & Borussia Dortmund for the higher staked ones and Red Star Belgrade with just a small amount. So just hope that those two top 5 placed teams in their own respective leagues don't fail me in this last ditch effort to get a higher spot in the Pot B pool standings. Good luck to you as well slaman29! |

Wondering why the blockchain is so congested and the bitcoin transaction fees are so high lately? While some call for purging the NFT-like inscriptions, others say they are good for the network. Rising Bitcoin Fees Prompt Renewed Battle Over Ordinals, BRC-20 Tokens"Bitcoin is booming, and so are network fees. Alongside the euphoria among investors over Bitcoin’s recent surge above $44,000—a 20-month high—increased network congestion is prompting another battle over the NFT-like Ordinals project and BRC-20 tokens." source: https://decrypt.co/208945/rising-bitcoin-fees-prompt-renewed-battle-over-ordinals-brc-20-tokensInteresting post on X from a professional on what these interference to the bitcoin network could impose further down the rabbit hole: ““Inscriptions’ are exploiting a vulnerability in Bitcoin Core to spam the blockchain,” Dashjr wrote on Twitter, adding that Bitcoin Core lets users limit the size of extra transaction data. “By obfuscating their data as program code, inscriptions bypass this limit.” https://www.x.com/LukeDashjr/status/1732204937466032285 |

Also how do you feel about Nunez?
I can't stand him. Sure, he gets into chances, I don't even mind that he misses so many. But he's the epitome of a player I hate the most - a brainless idiot who doesn't understand anything about football and just runs into empty space and shoots with his eyes closed. I cannot fathom that these people nowadays go for 60, 70, 80 mil euros. I live for the day we sell him. Nunez is a painful player to watch play. I remember when they played Manchester United and he was fouling inside the box. And I don't mean he was making it look like an accidental hit. But he was full out arms extended pushing the guys, as if he was looking for a foul. He was red carded from what I recall. After that incident I have seen him as a reckless player. And with those you don't have much faith in when it comes down to the wire in most games. But reminds me of Bruno Fernandes, he was doing well last season at the beginning but then let himself slide into the same fate as Nunez. I can't stand watching either of these players now. The player which comes to mind lately has been Declan Rice. The 100 mil pounds they spent on him was worth every penny. With that last game with seconds left he pulls the game out of the fire. Superb player and they should pay West Ham whatever they still owe for him from arrangments they had made in the deal. |

What a comeback from MIBR against Cloud 9 but then I looked closer on what tournament they are and when I saw Dacha Boom I knew this games are just practice for big teams because the same things happened in Dota 2 tournament when the favorites when home first and we had a lot of comebacks. I also recommend to not bet on Boom tournaments....like ever. Same here @boltz ! I don't even look at the matches in these sort of tournaments. They just seem to be filler with a few teams and the main squads don't even have the heart into it since they are not well known ones to even be in. Didn't know dota2 are the same. They don't put their full squad in these type of lower tier tournament matches do they? |

@Wiwo
Welcome to a new face on the thread and you make some valid points but the name of the team that won today against Newcastle is Everton.
No worries though it was a good win for a team which didn't look so good a few weeks ago. They are out of the regulation zone for the time being, even with the penalty that made it look as if they were going to be sent to the basement for good. So they are the phoenix team of the EPL. Rising from the ashes.
The surprise today was the West Ham win against Tottenham. Just wow!
I had them in the pool predictions but didn't expect it to actually happen.
Son got substituted off with around 2 minutes left including stoppage time so they even knew they were done.
