Today games are suspended because we had a tragedy. The captain of Fiorentina Davide Astori, 31 years old passed away with what many believe was a cardiac arrest, still the causes are not verified.

Adio capitano 

After a good win yesterday and hopefully with a win today this is not anymore the worst week ever.

Today tip
Brighton vs Arsenal--- Brighton Asian Handicap +1

I have not the Nano S but have the HW.1 and it should be the same, when you connect your wallet to the USB port of the PC, this means the wallet is connected but not the bitcoin app. You have to open from the programs menu the bitcoin app. So see the difference, it is not the same.

It appears at this time based on price/performance/hashrate the best bang is the RX 570 (with only one condition, to be from Sapphire, Pulse or Nitro+ it's no important) as they are around 320-350 EURO  Sapphire Pulse dual fan here in Italy, in some other countries they maybe cheap , and they can easily reach the hashrate of 30 Mhash the Pulse version and 31.xx Mhash the Nitro+ version. Of course the Nitro+ costs a bit more.

Here in Italy I do pay electricity bill from my mining rigs I own, we have a small farm of 20 rigs and 5 rigs each person, we are 4 friends. I take 100% from one mining rig and 20% from another to pay electricity bill which is high here 0.16 euro/kwatt . I think this does not damage my profit as the other 3 rigs plus the remaining 80% of the 4th one are making me about 1600 Euro/month but I like to make calculations with bitcoin as I save most of them because I have a daily job until now.

My advice even to a person having only one mining rig and let's take as an example the most common rig one with GPU-s RX 500 series, making about 400 USD month, and consuming 80 USD electricity, pay the electricity with this mining rig as this way you continue a normal life without having to spend money from your daily job to pay the mining electricity.

Wow, that means you probably should be standing at the top of the standings but we have to see the update from BBC, BCC isn't updating the rankings yet. Congratulations, you have a chance to beat my all time and best time score of the week during all season which sits at 200 points. I am happy with 60 points so far .

Brilliant work and bookmarked this thread. Lately I am thinking to build 8 GPU boards with PCIEX 16 slots like the Colorful one. I have never had any experience with these kind of boards, only board with risers but I think these should be even easier as should support the 8 GPU directly hassle free and without any X1 configuration in the BIOS.

@LFC_Bitcoin thanks for the advice, I didn't know it as I have posted my predictions since 2 days ago and I saw that I hit correct result of 5 out of 6 games today and 50 points, not the best but surely not the worst like last week with 20 points. I would be happy with 80 points in total for this week.

After a win yesterday looking to recover whatever we can from this nightmare of a week.

Today tip

Liverpool vs Newcastle--- Liverpool Asian Handicap - 1.25

I tried everything on Windows 10 in ASUS B250 Mining Expert and it would recognized more than 10 cards and start crashing right after I added the eleven one. I switched to HiveOS and everything worked out of the box, I flashed the cards with the built in program and I have now 245 Mhash running with 12 Cards of RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ perfectly.

The only thing I miss from Windows is Nicehash, I have to convert my Ethereum to BTC now but that is something I can live with. I have not switched my 6 GPU mining rigs as I like being paid in BTC better than in Ethereum but HiveOS is my choice for motherboards like ASUS B250 Mining Expert.

NVIDIA doesn't let you flash the bios of the cards, only ATI cards have specific programs for doing so. Nvidia can only be overclocked with MSI Afterburner, Precision tool from EVGA in Windows and in Linux with specific overclocking programs there. These cards cannot flash the bios to achieve a higher hashrate.

It also depends on what memory this specific card has. If it has Samsung it is 100% sure that can be overclocked to the max or Memory Clock +1000 and Core Clock +100 and to keep these settings stable.

If it has Hynix it has somewhat a bit more of 50% chances to keep the overclock while other memories like Elpida and Micron I have not had any experience with them but from what I read they are not overclock friendly in the Nvidia section. With ATI cards every card is perfect as they can be bios modified.

Depending on the free space on your hard drive usually the best for such option is min 16384 MB (16 GB) and 32768 MB (32 GB) max.

Do not forget to post your predictions, I have seen many people (including myself onetime) forgetting to post their predictions. This is another difficult week and I predict lower total scores like the one that just passed.  Remember only 9 weeks to go after this one ends. We are reaching the final destination of this wonderful betting pool soon.

First of all I am sorry for the worst week ever we are experiencing but bad runs happen to anyone.

Monaco vs Boardeaux----Monaco to win

Payment received. Thank you Lutpin and lightlord.

For today very few games so I am going with premier league.

Arsenal vs Man.City--- Arsenal Asian handicap + 2 goals

It is funny no one mentions here that usually when you have more than 8 GPU-s , 4 GB of RAM is not enough, especially with that kind of processor as a pair. I have been seeing problems like this even in an ASUS B250 mining expert and when we add 8 GB of DDR 4 2600 MHZ speed RAM it started working and booting normally.

Try with 8 GB of RAM and report back.

I started out as a small miner and a hobbyist with my single Nvidia GTX 1060 in my home. I started in November 2016 where this card was making about 0.0013 BTC daily and I immediately fell in love with this and soon after with money I made from mining added a new GTX 1060 in March 2017. So on I started and have made this home mining rig with 2 GTX 1060 and 4 GTX 1050 ti in two separate PC-s, I have room for another 3 cards but that is not important.

What is important is that during July 2017 me and some friends have invested together and have built 25 mining rigs or 5 mining rigs each. This maybe is not much as a big fish but sure adds up even here in Europe, as that is 1300 EURO net profit excluding electricity cost for 5 rigs that we have each one.

What I want to say is that if I and my friends were not experimenting and were not small timers in the beginning we would have nothing right now. As they say, ONE HAS TO START SOMEWHERE and in Bitcoin world you start wherever and whenever you can no matter how small you are when you start.

The only martingale I know it works is not in luck games. I have tried with small amount in sport betting, always have picked a random team in soccer with odd 2 to 2.20 and place a bet on them, out of 20 times trying even if you are a complete amateur with no experience you will win at least one time and in the end you will double your initial bet.

Of course you need to have a big bankroll, but you can try even with a low bankroll that can be multiplied 20 times, or 20 tries.
I know this is not the most perfect strategy and it takes a lot of patience to apply in sport betting compared to luck games but it is proven here.

Anyway my advice is to not experiment with luck games, there is the house edge which at a certain point will come on top for some time and make you lose all of your money.
