Speaking of yahoo estimates...  Corpsed at 5th!   I do not trust on those estimates too much to begin with, even if yahoo is giving me the edge on our match it is way more closer than what it may seem, Sanders plays horribly every time I play him, I had to play PIT defense as they were the best that were left on FA and right now I have 3 QBs on my team and only one is remotely viable and he is a big risk. I cannot really play Fields as he is not really recovering too well, besides if I were the Bears CEO I will take advantage of it and use this opportunity to bench Fields and tank for a better draft position next year, as Fields is so good he could win a game or two on his own, then I cannot play Brady either as he is playing against NO and he does not really play well against them, so I have to take the risk and play the favorite QB of bbc.reporter, “Massage Watson”, after almost two years of not playing professionally. Yeah I don't like the yahoo percentages. They swing massively throughout all the games. I never really look at the percentages much rather the matchups of each player. Yahoo gets it wrong all the time. With that being said I think if they put me down for 0% for the rest of the year I might change my mind lol they might be onto something |

We are about to have the last qualifiers for the 1/8-finals now. As long as we don't see any surprise in the last moments Switzerland will be the last qualifier. Serbia have shown a very poor performance in their defense for certain and this has really cost them the World Cup in the group stage already. They had such a potential to do better than this with those star players in their lineup. Serbia haven't been the only team that surprised people of course as we witnessed many unexpected results.
This World Cup is going on very different. Teams like Denmark, Germany, Belgium and Uruguay are also out already. I just hope to see the finale between two big teams rather than seeing one of them as a surprise one.
I'm of the opposite I'd like to see some new teams in the quarters and semis. No offense to the fans but who wants to see Brazil, Spain, France, arg in the quarts and semis again. I'm always rooting for the underdog anyway so it's nice to see some fresh new teams in the round of 16. |

As for the Jazz, they aren't really doing good and they are about to jeopardize their chance to be in the NBA playoffs this season. Imagine how they failed to maintain their spot for just a week, getting knockout from the playoff tree because of losing streaks.
You're right. The Jazz's performance has been really awful lately, considering they've only won 3 of their last 10 games. However, it's worth noting that the Jazz is still in 7th place in the Western Conference standings, and it means that if the Jazz's head coach finds a way to improve the performance of the players, the Jazz will still have a chance to reach the playoffs since the end of the regular season is still a long way off. It was fools gold they were never destined to be a top team just had a hot start. They are stacking draft picks so I'm sure they like to see them end up in the lottery. This team going to the playoffs does nothing but ensure mediocrity. They gave up once they parted with gobert and spida. |

420 cad in bitcoin or litecoin equivalent for the silver. 666 for the gold. I will cover shipping. Crypto paid out the same day bullion gets mailed. I've been burned by someone who didn't release the coins before so thats the way it is.
Lol that's not gonna happen. Why so you can ship a box of rocks to someone? Just use escrow here on this site. There are plenty of reputable escrow agents that can help you here. But sending an irreversible payment to someone who just opened an account with no transaction history before they get the product...ain't gonna happen. Use escrow. |

Due to how our matchups are set up for this week, we will have at least 6 and possibly 7 teams (out of 8 currently) still in contention for playoffs after this weekend. In other words at least one and at most two teams can be eliminated this week: 1) Loser of Bengals-HH match will get eliminated - with only 5 wins and two games to go no chance to break into top 4 where every team has at least 8 wins. 2) Rollers get eliminated if they lose, for the same reason. On the flip side, at least one top 4 team is guaranteed to lose this week, which is what keeps the door open for the 6 or 7 teams. As far as clinching a playoff spot, it's up to Cows: 1) if Cows lose, 2 or 3 spots will be clinched: Corpse of course due to their win over Cows, the winner of Barbarians-Coiners match, and Jerkers but only if they win. 2) if Cows win, no one can clinch this week.  I'm rooting for all underdogs to win this week, no particular reason at all  So then you are rooting for me? Is there a prize for last place this year? I'm thinking I deserve something special for fielding the weakest team on a weekly basis. Now I know how the NY Giants players felt by Thanksgiving every year for the last 10 years. 😔 |

Too bad news and sad for Matt Ryan, he's going to be waived on December 15 to open a spot for another Lakers player to get in. Source: Lakers News: Matt Ryan Being Waived To Open Up Roster Spot Ahead Of Dec. 15It wasn't that long since he's been part of the Lakers, right? And now, he's being the option to be waived so that another one comes in that might take them to have better days. I don't like this decision on them. He's a career 37.1% from 3PT line and in the current era where more people are shooting threes, that's a high percentage IMO. Too bad that he doesn't been given enough minutes. He is only given 10.8 minutes per game on average and that's too low. I thought that his buzzer beater three against the Pelicans will be his breakthrough and he will be given more minutes, but I guess I'm wrong. I just hope that another team will give him maybe a short-term contract just to try. He's a decent to good three-point shooter so teams who's focusing on threes more might get him... or not. For the Lakers, I just hope that they will get better player to replace him, or they will receive more criticisms aside from the ones that are facing right now. It's short notice and really felt bad for him. But this is business, this is the other side of being not the mainstay of an NBA team, even the superstars are having a hard time having that secured contract with the teams that they're part of. I just wish him that he'll get a better offer and another team that's good at taking care of their players. NBA is a business and whoever wants to have a secured spot and contracts with their team, they really have to stand up whenever they've been given a chance. Yes, at least when he is with the Lakers, he has that kind of game that we can remember of it. And 10 minutes per night might not be good to show your skills in the NBA. Unfortunately, that is business, Lakers need to adjust as early as this day because they don't want to experience what they've going through last season, no adjustments whatsoever. Hopefully, the one that will replace Matt Ryan could contribute even more as Lakers are slowly finding their groove with Lebron back and healthy and then AD having MVP statistics and WB slowly settling down as 6th man. The move they did seems clear enough that the Lakers will be pursuing that Buddy Hield/Miles Turner trade, it's just sad that Matt Ryan will be the sacrificial lamb to get what the management wanted even though he's giving the team a good production despite the few minutes per game he had. Well, business is business and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm just surprised that Austin Reaves was among the players who were given a non-guaranteed contract, meaning they can also cut him off whenever they want. Interesting to see what happens I expect a hail Mary that will cripple the Lakers future but they need help now not in 2027 or 2029 with those 1sts. I imagine a player or 2 amd some draft picks getting fleeced from the Lakers for someone just don't know who. After this run the Lakers might end up in a 5-7 year rut, they have no capital going forward to maneuver. |

Spain completely dominated the game and managed to score 1 goal. the temporary score for the Japan vs Spain match is 0-1 over Spain's advantage. Actually the advantage of Spain is a natural thing. but will Japan return to bring miracles like when against Germany. but the spanish attack pattern is really extraordinary. but when Japan gets the ball, I think the Japanese attack becomes dangerous because Japan has speed. but in Japanese body posture clearly lost. so Japan has a little trouble getting opportunities.
We won't see any more miracles here guys, Spain absolutely controlled the match with 86% possession, while on the other side, Japan only had 14%. Japan also doesn't have a single shot on goal. With this result, we'll absolutely see Spain in first place in Group E standings. About predictions, what are your predictions for this match? Will it be a big win for Spain? or will Spain only make 1 additional goal? Luis Enrique's match strategy is excellent. He is capable of defeating any team with his amazing match strategy. Spain took the lead in just 11 minutes of the match with Alvaro Morata's goal. And now they are not giving the Japanese players any chance to create an attack. Instead of attacking and scoring goals, Spain's players now aim to keep possession of the ball. And this they are doing very well. Since Spain keep the defense tight and then keep possession, they will not concede a goal unless they are extremely unlucky. and the temporary position in the first half for the Japan vs Spain match has not changed, namely 0-1 with the advantage of Spain. and in the first round, Japan looks little by little out of the pressure of Spain. so that the Japanese almost got some opportunities. This reminds me a bit of the game against Germany. where in the second half Japan gave a big surprise. I expect the second half of the Spain game to change a bit. Japan is definitely going to apply pressure. They need to be careful the Spanish counter attack is overwhelming. Can't wait to watch this one out, at the very least this game will be an entertaining end not so sure about the Costa rica/Germany game. |

So far, everything is going well for Germany, Gnabry scored in the 10th minute and Germany is in full control of the game, Costa Rica is running on the field without the ball. Spain also wins Morata scored, by the way he plays a significant role in this World Cup for Spain. I hope that Germany can finish this match without incident, because losing such a team in the group stage would be too big a loss.
The matches have not gone far, just 25th so far, anything can still happen. The fear is not for Germany to win but for Japan to equalize with Spain. Germany will likely win today's match is all I could think and they have the zeal, but if Japan draw, Germany is goin no where. What I still think about is that there would still be more goals in these two matches, but I go for Spain and Germany to win. If Japan ties and germane wins Germany can still break out. The next tie break would be goals scored. They would need to pump a couple more in but based on the first 30 or so minutes it looks as though germane should win this contest with ease. My guess would be they score 2-3 more goals the way they are pressing. |

From time to time you can see them offered for 10 usd on eBay where I live. I think people should not start to collect random hardware that serves no purpose  I mean isn't that what all collections are mostly. Things that serve no purpose. Looking at and having a piece of mining history might mean something to someone like looking at a painting. To others paintings are just useless pieces of canvass with paint splashed on them. To each their own right! |

It's the end to Group C and we have Argentina and Poland advancing to the round of 16. Although Saudi Arabia didn't qualified but they are the team that made this group very interesting to watch till the end. Today also they pulled of an upset when Mexico where trying hard so hard in the extras to find the goal that would have helped them to qualify for the next stage but Saudi Arabia's goal totally foiled those plans.
Saudi Arabia actually pulled the rug off the fit of the Mexican with the late minutes goal giving the polish an edge over Mexico because they were actually in same point with each other but now the polish is going to advance with Argentina on the group with a goal against. This is really jaw dropping for Mexico just when it could be considered a best loser between them and Poland. Football can take any dimension before the blast of the last whistle. It would have been interesting I think the tie break would have fallen all the way to fair play. Unsure which team was cared more or less than the other but interested to see if that last minute goal from Saudi actually booted Mexico from the round of 16. |

I feel like there is this "system" teams that can't do without certain players even if they are not amazing players. People get shocked about those kinds of results every year, or whenever it happens. We have seen soo many teams in the past as well where it wasn't a superstar missing, just a "good" player but that player was such a huge part of the system they had, so when he was gone, even though maybe someone as good as him replaced him, the system still crumbles and that causes losses. That is what Bulls are having now, they are not suddenly terrible, but they are missing an important piece.
Systems are great, some of the most famous are Phil Jackson's triangle offense or coach pops system. They look great when you have people like kobe or Tim Duncan's in "that system" look at how they fare when you have sub par players, those genius coaches don't look so genius. I'm all for coaching makes a difference but first and foremost you need quality on the court otherwise systems are worthless |

Yes, now Argentina is 2-0 ahead of Poland. Unfortunately Messi has failed to score so far despite having several good chances. Szczęsny played very well and saved a lot in the match, he was the last wall preventing Poland from conceding many goals today.
It is important that Poland don't concede any more goals, but Argentina don't seem to be showing any sign of not wanting to score more goals. Argentina have been good, the players more conscious the importance of every game, that first game loss has made them more serious. I like the way the players are showing dedication in trying to maintain that Poland score no goals, and the way the Argentina players put pressure to get the ball back whenever they loose it, Good character. Looks like Poland will skate by the skin of theor teeth. Unfortunate for Mexico they needed a better result against Poland from the opening night or another goal here. This is the tightest group to date so far. Entertaining to say the least. |

When I was new to cryptocurrency I was totally ignorant about market prediction, volume, future plans. Then I invested in some cryptocurrencies. After a few days of investment, I made quite a few dollars. But due to little knowledge about the market and excessive greed, I did not sell the crypto currencies I invested in the market at that time. So currently I am at a loss of $14000. Now I have no alternative but to wait for a long time. Finally I would like to say one thing from my real life, don't get too greedy in cryptocurrencies and hold any particular coin for a long time. It has the possibility of much more loss than profit. My Investment PortfolioWill the market go to the previous position?This cycle happens over and over again. Greed literally drives the entirety of the crypto markets. When it goes up it goes up way to high because of greed and completely levels people's investments because the downside is so harsh. Depends on what ypu put ypu money in if it will go back up or not. If it's based on bitcoin than you should be fine. If you threw money at fringe projects very likely you will never see that money come back. |

https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1594506712081465344?"I'm hearing through the grapevine that something important is about to happen. Please recognize the fact that my elite social connections to people who are early to know things make me cool, and please help me validate my self-image of coolness" Your thoughts? Or Vitalik babbler? Honestly I don't believe anyone that has anything to say about the market no matter their position or who they know. For as many people that sell ypu bad news there are just the same amount that tell ypu good news lol. It's all a shot in the dark and nobody really knows. Otherwise we'd all make the right decisions on trades and long term holds. So nope not buying a word they say |

We have had really fruitful games so far. South Korea - Ghana was one of them. Ghana started the game really effectively and captured a 2-0 advantage in the first half already. South Korea defense had a really big issue with defending then. They were vulnerable against crosses but the same thing happened to Ghana in the second half. They had a huge problem on defending Cho Gue-Sung on crosses and he scored two great headers thanks to that.
However Kudus was still there to save the team by scoring another goal and making the score 3-2. South Korea still played in a really determined way after this goal and found many opportunities to score. Especially the one they found with Jin-Su Kim was a big waste as it was an absolute goal chance. They still have a chance for next round and they have still made a huge effort so far even if they don't manage to do it.
The South Korea versus Ghana match would have turned out very wrong for South Korea. Eventually, this match ended in a draw. Obviously, that was not the optimal result for South Korea. They wanted to win this match. Now, as far as I know, this has become almost close to impossible for them. It was actually sad to see because they tried really hard to win that match. But eventually, they failed. Ghana beat them 3-2. They tied it up once they were down 2 nil but Ghana ended up scoring another goal. Korea has a tough draw and doesn't look like they are going to make it out of group play. The Portugal game was real good as well. They look like a real contender so far. They handled Uruguay fairly easily. |

Because my Parley had blown out I need to recover what I have lost now these are my picks for tomorrow's game,
Philadelphia 76ers VS Atlanta Hawks
The stake odds for this game are 2.02 for the 76ers, and 1.84 for the Hawks, For the 76ers still the same James Harden and Tyrese Maxey can not play for the game, while Bogdan Bogdanovic, still the one that can not play for the Hawks, for this game 76ers is not in their 100% while the Hawks was near it so I will be going with the Hawks,
Toronto Raptors VS Cleveland Cavaliers
The stake odds for this game are 1.80 for the Raptors and 2.07 for the Cavaliers, right now Otto Porter Jr., and Precious Achiuwa can not play for the Raptors, while Ricky Rubio, Dylan Windler, Kevin Love, and Lamar Stevens can not play for the Cavaliers, for this game it seems that the Raptors had a chance in getting this,
Utah Jazz VS Chicago Bulls
The stake odds for this game are 1.81 for the Jazz and 2.05 for the Bulls, Right now Johnny Juzang and Rudy Gay can not play for the Jazz, while Lonzo Ball can not play for the Bulls, for me, my 2nd favorite team will be the one that I am supporting here, even though they have 2 injuries I will still be going with the Jazz,
Los Angeles Lakers VS Indiana Pacers
The stake odds for this game are 1.58 for the Lakers and 2.46 for the Pacers, the Lakers are surely not a perfect team but they are quite a handful while the Pacer's Daniel Theis can not play for the Pacers, for me, I am going with the Pacers than the Lakers even though the Lakers are the favorite to win,
There is a thread specifically for betting nba and people discussing picks and spreads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.msg61353535#msg61353535Disappointed with the Knicks last night. 2 games in a row down to the wire and they come up on the wrong end of the game twice. They need to learn how to win those tight games otherwise they will never get out of the lottery. Frustrating.. |

Couple good games tonight. I like the Nets-10.5 think they roll this game. I'm also gonna take the road Timberwolves+1. They are still my long shot to go far this year. Then lastly I will take Toronto-2.5 at home. Shoukd be a good game but I like them at home to oull it off. Good.luck everyone!

My pick for tonight.
Toronto Raptors vs Dallas Mavericks(-2,5) = Dallas Mavericks Win 2,15 Odds
Good luck guys.
I'm taking the same bet as you. I like Dallas in this one by a close margin. Will need some Luka magic tonight. Last night the Knicks laid a dud and got beat up in overtime. But golden state came through and looked real good doing it. Look out above if they finally have theor stuff together. |
