About 15 years ago my then gf (now wife) bought a Euromillions ticket. The jackpot was €85,000,000 if I recall correctly. To win the Euromillions jackpot you need to get all 5 numbers correct and the 2 stars. Any way to cut a long story short we got 4 numbers and 2 stars.
I was looking at the numbers on our ticket, frantically checking the numbers online, thinking we’d won something big. Turns out it’s a lot more important to get 5 numbers regardless of how many stars you get. We got 4 out of the 5 numbers and 2 stars. We won approx €4,000 which is nice obviously but not life changing. If we had got 5 numbers & 0 stars or 5 numbers and 1 star it was six figures.
Funnily enough my gf picked the number 24 (which was the 1 incorrect number) and the number we needed to win €85,000,000 was 23. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this experience sadly.

The addition of getting potential bonus points was a good idea buwaytress. I’m not well placed in Pot B but I’d like to keep my 5th position, if not improve it in the SuperBru pool.
The competition is so fierce with you bitcointalk.org guys. I regularly perform quite poorly in pools vs you guys.

 This is some kind of clownery, and the timing is such that it might be better if the initial decision on the 10-point penalty remained unchanged. In conditions where your position in the standings is constantly changing (regardless of you), it is probably difficult to maintain psychological stability. But the main point of the clownery is that, as I understand it, those facts of violations by the City and Chelsea will never be considered. Man City have 115 violations, yes ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN. There is a court date set for their trial next year but it’s not public yet. I think the reason it is taking so long with them is because how extensive their trial is. It is obviously a lot of hard work for the PL to gather all evidence and make it bulletproof. Also Everton cooperated wth the investigation and their breaches. Man City have been delaying and not cooperating. I assume their penalties are going to be a lot more severe. |

Arsenal who will welcome Bayern Munich at home in quite prime condition after they managed to be unbeaten in 7 matches in all competitions, while Bayern Munich actually came with quite bad capital after they lost the opportunity to continue to press Leverkusen in the domestic league, yes Bayern Munich came with 5 wins and 2 consecutive defeats in the league, The contrast between Arsenal and Bayern Munich is of course obvious, and it is fitting that many of us here see if Arsenal will be able to beat Bayern Munich later in the first leg, but isn't the opposite also possible, it is not impossible if Bayern Munich actually makes Arsenal as an outlet for their revenge for defeat in the league later?
I think even though the two teams are in opposite performances, but I will not try to underestimate Bayern Munich in that game, like a lion injured they will be more dangerous at the moment, I think Arteta should not underestimate Bayern Munich even though Arsenal have upper hand now because after all Bayern Munich can give surprises that Arsenal cannot imagine later even though they play at Emirates Stadium.
Arteta has Arsenal playing like a team that looks like it’s ready to win trophies. I don’t know if they’ll win the CL but I think they’ll be far too strong for Bayern. I would not be surprised if this 1/4 final is basically over after the 1st leg. I see Arsenal winning this comfortably, Bayern have been crap all season. |

Gambling is an industry you can participate in to have fun, it should be seen as fun, a hobby. You should not see gambling as a guarantee to make money. Obviously you will win sometimes but you will also go through periods where you lose. You don’t see many broke bookies do you.
Practise responsible gambling and you will be OK. All reputable bookies/sportsbooks/casinos will have responsible gambling ads plastered all over the place, this is to help you.

I need a good weekend of results for myself, currently 2-1 down to FM in 3B and we have a lot of identical answers to the remaining questions.
I could really do with not losing this round.

It could be said that with Bayern Munich's frequent failures in the domestic league, their chances of winning against Arsenal are decreasing and I think Arsenal with their consistency can bury Bayern Munich's hopes of going further. Of course, the Gunners are very confident with the instability of Bayern Munich so far and they will definitely try as hard as possible to get a win in the first leg.
I know it's not an easy job, especially since the first leg took place at Bayern Munich's home ground. But at least if Arsenal knew the weak points of Bayern Munich's defense then they could steal the aggregate lead first. If this can go well then it is not impossible that Arsenal will break the bad record in history when facing Bayern Munich. It might be a bit naive if we don't discuss this clearly, but Bayern Munich can't do much this season, especially in the Champions League.
Bayern have been lacklustre all season that’s true, they do have players in their squad who have won big trophies though. They have won trophies playing in high pressure games. Arsenal are an exciting young team but they are yet to prove they have the balls to win when it really matters. They are surely capable but until they prove it, you can’t rely on them. |

Just about to put my picks in. There aren’t many games left now so those jostling for paid prize positions may have to get inventive to get more points than those around them.
I feel like I may have to pick not obvious scores to move up the table(s).

Alexis Mac Allister is world class, truly amazing footballer. He must be in with a shout for player of the season.
Huge game for Liverpool on Sunday, away at Man Utd. I believe revenge is on the cards.

Haaland will not be able to move freely if Rudiger is fully guarded during the match. We have often seen this video footage circulating and Rudiger repeatedly holding Haaland tightly so that he cannot carry out dangerous attacks. I agree that currently Phil Foden can be a solution in facing Real Madrid, especially since this player is having his best performance so far.
On the other hand, I actually think otherwise if Real Madrid will just wait for the right momentum to carry out one quick attack to break down Manchester City's defense and that is indeed a very worrying thing. But everyone's opinion is different and whoever is strong in blocking these fast counterattacks will have little chance of winning by carrying out unpredictable attacks.
Man City are favourites to win the CL this season, they’ve actually been favourites for the last few seasons but only won it once. They are a great team but maybe this season don’t look quite as formidable as last season. I definitely think Real can hurt them, they have the players to do it. |

Comfortable wins for Arsenal and Man City last night.
I’m expecting the same for Liverpool tonight as we attempt to go back top of the PL. With a tough game away to Man Utd on Sunday, nothing less than a win tonight is acceptable.

I can’t see Arsenal dropping any points tonight, they should beat Luton without breaking a sweat:
Man City vs Aston Villa could be interesting though, I’m not expecting it but Villa are capable of a surprise, they’re a good team.
