That is not small odds at all and he wants to become a multimillionaire just very easily and he might be thinking gambling he could win it.
He could be staking a very small amount on the bet and testing out a new strategy, or he has done it previously and has had success with such strategies, there are so many possibilities on why a gambler made such a bet and we cannot reach any conclusion with a snapshot of a bet slip.

There is no direct strategy to win in gambling, some have played it very safe all the time with their odds and never won anything so that is not the obvious way to go. The only good bet is a won bet and as long as one is not losing significant amount of money chasing a profit and having fun along the way, they are playing it right.

...cutting the part where the casino gets the money it's that basically gamblers pay the wages of the whole staff manning those, and they also shuffle money between them.
That is the same with all businesses, you pay the salaries of the grocery staffs when you purchase a product, you pay the salaries of the airport workers when you book a flight, money you pay to services are used to keep the service running and leave a good enough profit margin for the business.

Gambling is not wealth redistribution, but involves transfer of money as does everything else we pay for.

You cannot judge someones betting strategy from a single slip. This are very risky odds and he is not unlucky that they all were wrong, he would have been extremely lucky to win that, extremely lucky.

If he plays like this most of the time hoping that one will give him decent reward, that is bad strategy. But if it is a mix up or risky and expected results then it is not so bad, especially if they are not losing money.

I also have a question.
For the last question about Belgium - "Belgium to win in any other way", does it mean if Belgium is leading at half time that does not count or it just factors in the handicap in option 1? I am assuming it only factors in the handicap but will like some clarity on what winning any other way is.

I can’t see France dropping points against Austria. They are my pick to win the tournament, they have world class players all over the pitch.
Almost 40 minutes in and it is not looking comfortable at all for France. The underdogs are all playing with a certain confidence and shape, not sitting back and absorbing pressure but going all out man for man. There is still a lot of time for France and a lot of time on the pool.

They just got the lead while I was typing, lovely work from Mbappe.

The UEFA bracket and superbru one. I was hoping everyone could join the EURO predictor in time but some people couldn't.
The EURO predictor has been fun, it is a shame we could not use that. Maybe I will stick around and play just for fun on it and the prizes available there.

Today has been a bad day for predictions, will France also give us an upset?

I predicted Italy and Belgium to score 3-4 goals, after the 2 scored by Italy my major fear was Belgium scoring 3+, never did I think they may not score any at all.

Slovakia played with all the heart in the world and skill too, they deserved the victory, I was rooting for them as it got closer to the end regardless of my pool choice and bet tickets. This tops the shock of Romania earlier, Group E is where it is all happening.

No one got this one I think.

Dont be foolish please.  Roll Eyes
That is an unnecessary response, I would have expected more for some reason, not sure what the reason is cause literally anyone could be behind a keyboard, but I am dissappointed either ways.

Pools are not secret or hidden, you can find them all in list of the pools and OP can remove any players he want to remove.
You are being ignorant. There is an option to toggle off a pool being visible in the public pool search, meaning they CAN be private.
And I literally said you will not want to give the pool captain the task of removing players who join without buying in, that could be why hilarious sent the link privately.

And it would be very stupid for anyone to join pool when he cant win anything without payment of entry fee and approval.
With how you have acted, I will not put anything beyond anyone.
Well, Ukraine is getting annihilated out there. I predicted Romania to win by 1 - 0 and changed it up just before the match started, would have been a valuable 1 point. Another reminder to always follow my guts.

There are 20 people joined in Superbru pool: ...
I do not think we should post the pool link publicly since it is a private pool. Anyone can copy it off from here and join giving hilarious the task of weeding out those players.

Now England - Serbia is next. England is heavy favorites, fans already singing It's coming home'' in stadium, would be really happy to see some upset here Cheesy.
With how they played yesterday, the singing should be less loud against Denmark. The England fans too easily get ahead of themselves for major tournaments like this one.

Which format are we using in the end? Superbru or UEFA?
Same here. I ironically did not fill out same results on both so I now have a favorite for which I will like us to use, but it is still too early to matter much, anyone will be great.

It is worth noting that we have 19 players on the UEFA match predictor and 20 on the Superbru, some names are different, so I cannot tell who is the exact player not on both.

...Some are here just for free ride while it lasts.
Except the free ride takes them close enough to possibly winning the competition. Anyone who gets kicked out in the first few rounds may not want to buy back in, they will think if they do, how many more times will they need to do that? But later in the tournament with an eye on winning... Many will take it.

...but if you're talking about the probability of finding a wallet with balance or someone else wallet is 1% out of 100 percent which is more like impossible.
It is much less than that. 1% out of a hundred means on one hundred tries you are likely to get an active wallet on one occasion. The odds are far lesser than that even with the most sophisticated tools which most hackers do not have.

given the number of active wallets at 12 words, it may be possible to come across an active wallet? I have a friend who came across several active wallets? so to say that it will be the end of the universe, not too much
You should go and read up more about generation of private keys. Your friend did not come across several active wallets and it is impossible to generate an active wallet.

It is 3 -1 now, so the victory is secured for Switzerland. They thoroughly deserved the 3 points too with the way they played in the first half and the closing moments of the 2nd half.

Embolo lost his knee pad but found the net, so he does not mind at all.

In this case, a gambler has $10,000 as his savings, and he gambles with $1000 down, he or she won't feel sad when they lose it (it means they gambled for fun).
10% of your savings is a huge chunk of it and does not count as gambling for fun for me. If you run through $1000 in the space of days or weeks, except you quit gambling after that you will be on your way to running through the whole pile. You should not be staking out of your savings at all.

Germany were absolutely imperious. I can easily see them going far in the tournament playing like this, but we have to see some of the other favorites play first.

How can we track who won how many points and is there any spreadsheet for Last Man Standing?

Sorry, can you share with us what kind of attack it was, and what measures you have taken to ensure such a thing does not happen again. It takes time to build customer trust, but it would be faster if there are no issues such as this. Welcome again.
I also could not find any information on this anywhere online. For transparency the public should be giving info on what type of attack that warranted suspending the entire service and deleting the op (which suggests they did not expect to recover from it) and also what measures were put in place to prevent it from happening again.
More importantly, if there was any security breach users should be aware of.

Edit: I think I have arrived at the same page where im doing P2P transfer
...
You should not add screenshots like that, it shows personal names of parties involved in the transaction, that is terrible for your privacy. You should edit the screenshot out of the post.
The rate for USDT looks to be high but its P2P so I will assume there are other reasons you chose to trade with that person. Always confirm receipt of the funds from your end before releasing, do not trust the buyers proof.

What would have happened if i didn't set an optimal fee?  Could the transaction be stuck for months?  I am using Electrum 4.5.5
It would have remained on the network till majority of nodes have dropped it from their mempool. It could still be rebroadcasted by some so there is no specific length of time. The default mempool retention period is 2 weeks.

I can only find this on OP so Im assuming that multiple people with the same lowest point got eliminated but what if there is only 1 people out of 50+ players ? so everybody except that one player goes through?
That is it. There is no specific number to be eliminated per round, the lowest score gets kicked out and need to buy-in, that could be 1 or 20 people.

If that is so then the goal of this game is only not to be the worse person of the round but gotta aim for top on the last round
By last round do you mean the final round? Points are accumulated each round of the tournament, you do not win by being top of the last round but by being top overall. Remember also that even the top at any point in the tournament will still need to buy in if they are eliminated at any round of the tournament.

I vote for #19, #22, #23 #57, #97

It is dizzying trying to pick a choice and worst locking in the number while you look for other choices. Good luck to all participants and great job icopress.

As has been mentioned, this website has a bad reputation and has had one dating back to 3 years ago. There are reputable sport bookies you can use that offer a fair amount of privacy rather than one which will give you withdrawal issues. Sportsbet.io is a much better option and they got options for MLB matches, almost all reputable bookies do.
