I'm very excited as there is Euroleague Final Four this week. I know that we aren't the favourite however my confidence in my team is quite high. As there are many Turkish people living in Berlin I expect Fenerbahçe to create an atmosphere like they are the hosts. I'm thinking of making a bet with some money on Fenerbahçe to win against Panathinaikos. If we lose against Ergin Ataman this would be an extra demoralizing factor for me.
Yeah, there is so many Turkish people living  in Germany that I already imagine how much support Fenerbahche will get. But I guess there will thousands of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos fans too, atmosphere should be amazing.
I see semifinal as 50/50 game, if it would be series, I guess we would need all 5 games. Personally, in BSFL I predicted that Real won't win trophy, it would be boring and Final 4 format doesn't works in favor of favorites. Will watch F4 as neutral spectator, but probably Fenerbahche would be my preferred team to win.

Yeah, I miss these old good faucets, memories about it gives me nostalgia from my early years in Bitcoin. I not only got introduced to Bitcoin through faucets but also made really big money from it. It got my initial capital in such way and didn't had to put my own money into Bitcoin.

Faucet things are now " Good old days" type of thing now. At that time BTC was in early stage and have less users. So faucets offered new users some free sats and encourage them to use the network. Now you can see it came mainstream making it no need to promote plus high fee thing in transaction make faucet almost unconvenient.
It's not just about mainstream and introducing new users. Only few first faucets were about introfuction and weren't commercial. All other faucets was attempt for owner to make some money from ads. When revenue from ads didn't covered expenses, faucets died. Also, big factor is high Bitcoin value. In later years faucets started to pay something like less than 5 Satoshi and when they have 30k Satoshi payment treshold, it can take year to reach it. Doesn't sounds very attractive.

I follow pretty much all the leagues in Europe, haha. I am a basketball fanatic honestly.

Well Milano lost a game in Italy and Virtus Bologna is even at 2:2 in their series.
In Austria you have the number 5 and number 7 seed in the final (yeah I also watch Austria) .

Bayern Munich (no1 seed) lost game 1 at home vs no 8 Ludwigsburg, huge upset.
I also follow 2nd devisions, for example in Germany, France, Italy and Spain and there have been upsets as well.
You wonder why I do this I guess. I also work part time as a scout.

There is a lot going on at the moment, you just have to follow everything, haha.


Yeah, seems that I missed some upsets. Today both Bayern and Ulm made series 1:1 with their opponents and did it comfortable. Tomorrow game between Virtus and Tortona, should be interesting. Tomorrow also Lithuanian league semifinals will begin. There were no big upsets in 1/4 finals, but series between Lietkabelis and Juventus was one of best 1/4 finals in our league for a while and last game was just crazy.
We have already one champion crowned in big league. Crvena Zvezda sweep Partizan 3:0 in series, such result is big surprise for me.
Following Austria or some 2nd divisions is hardcore. I thought you're doing it for bets, didn't expected that you're part time scout.

Can the top ten places PM me their addresses and I'll get the payments sent out this week. Thanks.

Does anyone have an suggestions for a euro fee? I guess we could either go with 0.0005 (£26) or 0.001 (£52). I will have to ask jeremypwr/sportsbet if they want to sponsor it again. Maybe we can go with the cheaper fee if no sponsor or the higher one if we get one.
I prefer higher fee as it means bigger potential rewards. But if others will tell that's a bit too much, I'm ok with lower fee.

I am leaning more and more towards higher buy ins. Makes multi accounting much harder and while I used to believe it wasn't a problem in paid pools I am not so certain anymore. Just had a crisis in Fantasy pool which I would have much rather avoided.
Reading now what happened in FPL pool, didn't expected such thing. In smaller pools like La Liga or Bundesliga I'm sure that we didn't had such thing as almost all users is already well known. Not sure about EPL pool, because not all participant names is familiar for me.
But probably all kinds of cheating can be expected when there is big potential money involved.

There is no news about this war anymore unless Congress will once again need to send money to Zelenski. That's the only time this war will be flashed on TV. They keep praising Ukraine is winning but their lands were taken by Russians which if you are not as updated as getting all the channels that talk about this war, you wouldn't know who is winning.

So far the only confirmed information is that Russia is already taking Kharkiv. If a person thinks independently, this info already tells the Russians are winning.
I'm not really sure from where did you made this narrative that western media is praising Ukraine like they're winning. Probably you see what you want to see.
Russia is taking Kharkiv, really? I think there is big difference between taking Kharkiv and taking few villages in Kharkiv Oblast by the border with Russia.

I don't know but from what I see in world news no one cares more that much about this war and this has passed in 2nd page,in the front page of the news now there is Israeli war against Palestine which many claims they are bypassing every single limit in what is a war of defense,many are protesting yet the Israelis claims they have the right to defend the attack that happened in the 7 October and for many they are also right.I am neutral in such war but what I want to emphasize is that most people in the world now are more interested as what Israeli backed by US is doing rather than having again interest in a war longer than 2 years now in Ukraine which we don't know how will end.The world is becoming a very vomiting place as these wars has a clear intention both of them,ethnic cleansing and land claiming.
I actually would be surprised if whole world would be following  it like they did in first  weeks of war. Unfortunately, new about it become routine for most of people. Even Ukrainians are getting tired from this war

Congrats to Harkorede for winning the Round 38 Yellow Cap

What a round to come alive for me!

I have 10/10 for the game week and was also able to find my way into the top!

Great, Great, Great!!!

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/05/19/1r12N.png

-----------------------

Congratulations to all winners, it's been one hell of a ride for 38 weeks, see you all next season Wink
Congrats, really impressive to get all 10 incomes right and get into Top 10 in such way.
Got 8 of 10 today, but probably it was only good round for me this season. If I would be doing things a bit more consistently, probably I wouldn't finish 37th. Season to forget for me.
I love Pep, but this City dominace is getting boring already...

I'd like to say "What a race!" but I can't. It was quite boring as we didn't see much change in top places. However the last moments of the race were really exciting. I don't know how but Verstappen started to lose a lot of pace and a new chance was born for Norris to go for his 2nd win in his career right after achieving the 1st one.  Smiley
Yeah, whole race wasn't most exciting, I was struggling not to fall asleep literally. There wasn't much action, but probably it was something expected, considering that Imola isn't easiest track for overtaking. But end when Norris gave some good pressure for Verstappen made it worth watching.
If Mclaren will manage to keep what they did today, they're capable to fight for wins in some races. While if Ferrari with upgrade expected to fight with Red Bull, now they will have to reach Mclaren somehow.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: May 19, 2024, 07:23:01 PM
9 from 10 games of 37th round was played at the same time and despite there isn't much things left to fight for, it was eventful round. Crazy game between Villarreal and Real 4:4. Real wasted 1:4 lead and we saw 4 goals scored by Sorloth. And such performance means that now he is Top scorer of league, one Dovbyk goal today wasn't enough to keep 1st place.
Who could have thought that Atletico will get destroyed at home by Osasuna 1:4. And it means that they will finish 4th and can't reach Girona in 3rd place.
Iker Munian said goodbye to San Mames in his last home game in style by scoring goal and then getting susbstituted.
And Cadiz 0;0 draw with Las Palmas means that Cadiz joins Almeria and Granada with relegation ticket.

Things didn't looked bad for Latvia when in 2nd period they scored 2 goals in less than minute and made score 2:2 with Sweden. But it ended with another big loss 7:2, it could be much worse, considering how many times Sweden had power play in 3rd period. Now their chances to reach next round and repeat something what they did last year looks very complicated.
Canada - Finland was fun fun game which ended with hard Canada win. Finland is risking a bit to not reach next round, next their game against Denmark which is direct competitor, but I think it won't be difficult and then Swtzerland in last round.
P.S. Basically, there is just 2 of us discussing this tournament, a bit surprised about such low interest, in previous years there was a bit more activity.

It's all about money. They only want big famous cities with a lot of money in the league, just like FIFA. It's a ll just a corrupt business.  Undecided
That's true. Since when Istarted following basketball almost 20 years ago almost every year I hear talks that Euroleague wants team in London and Paris and now there is talks about Dubai.


Playoffs in full effect.
Already saw plenty of surprises in some of the bigger league until now.

Tonight I won't get a lot of sleep since there are so many games now, haha. But hey, in some weeks the season is over so it is what it is.
Enjoy the games guys!
What leagues you're following. From what I saw, I wouldn't say that there is many upsets. Probably Ulm loss at home against Wurzburg is worth to mention or Valencia losing to Murcia. Paris lost game 1 against Cholet, but now they got confident win and regained home advanage.

Congrats to @morvillz7z with a win and also everyone who finished in Top 5. Same like last year I finished 5th and I'm really happy about my result. Seems that it will be only pool this season where I will end in prize spots.
Bayer made The Invincibles season, achievement that will be difficultto repeat anytime soon. Even Bayern didn't made in years of their domination.
Thanks to @4cygan for running this pool and Sportsbet for sponsorship. See you next season, guys!

In reality, they spend 100m weaponry to destroy 10m worth Russian stuff, so that UK propaganda
has something to write about to hide fact that Ukraine is losing
If you can buy ir make several jets or S-400 system for $10 million, then you must be living in alternative reality. And it's not just all about price - Russia isn't capable to produce as many jets or air defense systems as they wish, after all it's not simple stuff like armoured vehicle.
And yeah, Ukraine is destrying these targets just to hide fact that they're losing, interesting logic.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2023/24 on: May 17, 2024, 07:25:07 PM
Looking at the current form, I would also say that Braga are favorites. But, if I look at the history of recent years, I see Braga losing every game against the big Portuguese clubs, especially the decisive ones. So, although I think Braga is better, I think the winner will be Porto. However, the statistics do not guarantee that it will always be the same, and so it will really be a very interesting game to watch.
Despite that this is going terrible for Porto, I think their chances is better. First of all because draw is enough for them, while Braga needs to win it. As you said, I also have impression that Braga usually chokes on big games.
Rio Ave - Benfica is starting soon, while rest of games will be played tomorrow to conclude 2023/24 season.

Lol, they probably have read my post and beat team Latvia 8-1 Cheesy Team Germany game is very unstable this year. One day you lose with large score difference, next day you dominate your opponent with large score difference, when previous year these two teams ended with #2 and #3 places.
That was brutal one, Germany were favorites, but it was difficult to expect such result. As these both teams most likely going to compete for 4th place, now Germany gained big advantage. And in general, they have easier remaining schedule.
In A group today Austria made big upset by beating Finland 3:2, despite that Finland were already leading 2:0. Though, it looks that 4 teams that will go to next stage is almost decided in this group.
155  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: May 16, 2024, 06:52:54 PM
Croatia, 4 million people, managed to mobilize 250 000 (without any foreign help, and actually embargo on weapon buying) for final liberation offensive.

If Ukraine, 40m people country, cant mobilize at least 2 million after receiving hundreds of billions help

then obviously Ukrainians don't feel its worth it, for whatever reason
Mobilizing 2 millions in 40 millions people country looks nice and easy on paper, but reality is a bit different. From these 40 millions we should exclude women, children and elderly people. Then there is at least few millions people who left country during war and also people who alredy serving in army or died. So, actual number that you can potentially mobilize is so much smaller.
Why there issituations like in video above. In cities which are more far away from front line like Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa people are trying to live normal life. They are going no night clubs, pubs, cinema, concerts and etc. These who had motivation to defend country went fighting long time ago, others don't want to change their normal life, leave families and etc go to trenches, and drones and artillery flying above their heads. They want to continue living normally as they used before war, but they think that others have to fight for them. Don'y know what solutions for this problem is.
156  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝 on: May 15, 2024, 07:47:42 PM
BestChange is an old campaign that has been popular on this forum, but here I am just a little curious instead of asking in the thread directly here, maybe it can be more relevant.

BestChange said that they will continue marketing to new areas, can you guess where? I mean which other forums will be targeted by BestChange, is it a local forum or other global forums such as forums about bitcoin and others?

Or the Altcoinstalks forum? I don't think this is possible. Lol
New areas, I guess it means something wider than forums. In general, forums is considered as thing from like 2010 and popularity of forums is constantly declining.
What other ares it could be? Social media like Youtube, Twitter or probably most trending social media now TikTok. Another option can be partnership with big sports club or league. If you're following sports, you can see so many crypto related ads there. But I'm not sure that BestChange budget is big enough for it, after all they're not trading or gambling website.
BTW, why do you think that promotion on Altcoinstalk isn't possible?

Other readers please know - when russians capture ukrainians, they torture them till they cooperate with captors, say on camera every unimaginable bullshit they are given to tell. This already happened in 1960s with POWs in Korea and Vietnam.

Last two years I lived more in Ukraine than in my home country. I know the truth.
Getting tortured isn't worst what could happen. There is plenty of videos on internet how Russians are killing Ukrainian POW's and troops who already surrender. And we can already guess how many cases there is which aren't uploaded to internet.
Though, on the other hand, sometimes it's fun to watch what Russian POW's are saying in front of camera. Now way that they would decide to tell it themselves. But war is war.

So this is Russian propaganda too? Sky news?

I think it was Imola last season where things were flooded and they couldn't race there, right? Not sure if I remember it right but that does feel like it could be the possibility. I mean it is clear that we are going to end up with a result that would not be all that easy to handle if the rain is that high again.

Plus, FIA and F1 has been quite strongly against racing during very bad weather, it is not like back in the day, because back in the day we could have seen racers even in terrible conditions, but these days we are talking about much better racing, and a lot more safety. Meaning, if the rain is a lot, we have seen stuff like Belgium, and it looks like Imola will have some rain, not sure how much but I hope it won't be a lot like last year.

I'm looking at weather forecast and rain is expected on Sunday only and now it's shown in morning hours, not afternoon. So, I guess there is no danger for race. But if we will have rain during race, there is high chance of red flags, Imola doesn't looks like safest track to race in wet conditions.

I have donated some money to support your campaign. Just realized that recently I wasn't doing enough to support Ukraine. It's already 811th day of war and longer it continues, it's getting harder and harder to get support

TX ID b6d697eb7d84240fe801ecd50f7208130185049fe3861860164072e3934912fe

HonestLy, I didn't even think that such a vehicle with all the equipment could be cheap, but what is cheap nowadays, right? However, considering the size of the European Union, it seems to me that there is probably a certain amount of ambulances that could perhaps even be donated (which is probably happening).

Regarding the transport of vehicles, have you perhaps thought about sending them in another way, perhaps by transport train or transport trucks? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that it would be cheaper.
Yeah, these things is happening, done both by governments and private initatives. For example, last week truck for firefighters from my city was sent to Ukraine
Regarding to transportation, almost all charities that I know drive cars to Ukraine themselves. If trucks or trains would be better option, probably they would use it, but they're not doing it. If they delivering humanitarian aid or something for troops, they're driving to final destination to be sure that everything will reach people who needs it (We all know level of corruption in Ukraine even in times of war).

I really doubt that this guy is doing it for prizes. Considering how much BTC in total he wagers, these prizes is more like tips for him - not something significant, but why not to take it.
Haven't checked their userID, but maybe this same guy already won Lambo too? Because usually this lottery is also won by one Freebitco.in whales.
