Japan v Italy --- Italy -17 @ 1.88
Canada v USA --- Canada -12 @ 1.88
England v South Africa --- England -61 @ 1.88


I think the first two are realistic winning bets, Not so sure if the Red Roses can put up
61 points on the Springbocs

---URC---

Edinburgh are gone out to 1.21 against Zebre so I have a bet on there.

And I have the Stormers to beat Cardiff @ 1.28

I believe all of the South African internationals are back at the club's this weekend so they
are back at "full strength".


Not a bad weekend with Rugby betting.

In the WRWC Italy beat Japan but couldn't manage the 17 points difference so I lost that one.
Canada beat the USA 29-14 and England did manage to gather 61+ points over South Africa which was a totally one sided affair 75-0.

There is something wrong there, for South Africa being what I call a 'Rugby Nation' and being
the Men's World Cup holders it seems the Women's side needs more development.



In the last two games of the URC I had bets on, Edi burgh rightly won at Zebre but Cardiff
saw off the Stormers which is massive for them IMO, final score there was 30-24.



Rugby League World Cup

I have just two bets on - Ireland to beat Lebanon and Papua New Guinea to beat
the Cook Islands, I have done a -16.5 point spread on that one.

The antwerp atp semifinals seem promising, thiem vs corda and aliasime vs gasquet, gasquet is a huge underdog despite the good performance he showed in this competition so far i think he will pose a big threat for the canadian i think a handicap for gasquet is a really good bet, and on the second game it seems difficult to predict both players made a great comeback recently i think we might see a three sets war.

Korda won against Thiem 2-1 and now is in the final and i was just thinking that this was the time he would win the tournament. Auger leading 1-0 in sets against Gasquet and looks like another final for him and maybe a chance to win two tournament in a row.

I got to see the last sets of each match. Thiem did really well to win a set, I think next year
for sure he will be a big challenger.

Felix AA had a massive service advantage over Gasquet which paid out for him when both
sets went to tie breaks. I was really impressed by Gasquet,  he is a very creative player and pulled
out some crazy shots.

Felix AA is favourite for another win here.

The market is suspended completely on the Lions Vs Edinburgh match, but I was able to place wagers on the other fixtures.

The women's competitions are also on this week-end.  I've got money on England and a couple of others too.  Are you betting on them?

Yes today I'm doing 3 bets for today. I'm feeling a bit free with the Satoshis.

0.1mBTC on each of the following:

Japan v Italy --- Italy -17 @ 1.88
Canada v USA --- Canada -12 @ 1.88
England v South Africa --- England -61 @ 1.88

Thanks for that Timelord, I don't know why I didn't go to the NRL site before, I have been
trying to keep up to date here but it's not easy >
https://www.intrl.sport/competitions/rugby-league-world-cup/

I haven't made any bets on R2 of the RLWC yet. but those bets on the points spread are
indeed a bit risky.



Rugby Union

Our two bets in the URC paid out.

The bulls beat Benneton 44 to 22
and Connacht beat Scarlets 36 to 14


I was going to back both Edinburgh and Leinster but the odds are too low but I'm going to
go with the Stormers to beat Cardiff.

2126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 21, 2022, 06:32:33 AM

I checked on who is Tsitsi potential opponent is and it's a tough one,

it's either defending champion Tommy Paul or home favourite Mikael Ymer.

Nevertheless I also see another tough match for Tsitsi for either of this player and I do agree that this match might be extended to a full 3 sets as both Paul and Ymer is tough, and so this is a close one for Tsitsi, but I wlll not be surprised that he will go to the semifinals of this tournament.


Tsitsipas with the winning form will continue to overcome Ymer without much of difficulty. In the match against Maxime Cressy he was in a tough situation and he took it forward winning in the direct set after hard fight. As said, there is more chances of match moving to the third set and both the players of the similar age will have a game comprising lengthy rallies.

I was just going to check who was left in the tournament and in all likelihood Tsitsipas
should be able to win given the form he is in. There might be interesting betting opportunities
from here on Tsitsipas. He is 1.24 v 3.95 against Ymer and at -5 he is 2.26!



I was checking over at Antwerp and interestingly Thiem has made it through so far
and faces Hurkacz which will be difficult.

Thank you!!! Finally, Mr. Wrong was proven wrong... Next step is confirmation of the same statement in UK!!

Interesting to see how the law works in the UK given that Cobra did not even attempt to put up a case when he was sued by CSW - so we don't have much info on whether the UK courts would be as knowledgeable and straightforward as their Norwegian counterparts.

Will hodlonaut be able to use the same evidence in the UK court which he used in Norway?

If yes then surely they have to see it as it is and see the absolute lies which CSW has
engaged in?

Surely the same report which KPMG were tasked with can be called upon for "any" trial
going forward? the facts which were uncovered won't change from country to case.

2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Two Gambling Stories on: October 20, 2022, 06:59:47 PM
These are two gambling stories that are very interesting

Story 1
A man stole his girlfriend's 10k to place a bet. He won 100 million and returned 10k to his girlfriend. His girlfriend is furious and demands 40 million dollars.

*Read the full story here

Story 2
An apprentice who won 16 million naira on BET was asked by his boss to split the money into two parts. This 50 - 50. As the story goes, people sided with his boss, and he had no choice but to comply. It's important to remember that the money used to bet belongs to the apprentice, not the boss.

*Read the different opinions of people here

First, in your opinion, what would be a reasonable amount to give his girlfriend? Second, assuming you were the apprentice in the story, would you abandon your training or would you have given in to the pressure to split the money with your boss?



Honestly half.  He stole it it's not like he borrowed it.  Likely to say he would have never paid her back.  If we are talking usd here what's the difference between 100mil and 50mil when you never had even close to that.  He shoukd just be thankful she doesn't report him to the police lol.  Take half and run!

Yea the most important word in the headline is STOLE, technically she is entitled to
all of it! but it was him who placed the bet, if he didn't the money wouldn't have been won
so yea the fair outcome would be 50/50. I wonder what a court would rule on it?

Would the man be punished?
if he had lost the bet he most certainly would be!

Just checking on Rollbit and they don't have that game listed, maybe later.
Round two is Wales v Tonga!

I do see some one sided games listed based on the odds...

Australia -62.5 @ 1.81 v Scotland +62.5 @ 1.93 - it's obvious Australia will win but will
they clock up minimum 63 points difference?

Also

England -38.5 @ 1.94 v France +38.5 @ 1.81 - I think that's a more realistic handicap or at
least achievable for England.

Rugby Union

Just checking over the line ups for Round 6 of the United Rugby Championship this coming
weekend and I see some interesting betting opportunities.

---

Benneton at home with the Vodacom Bulls visiting, I'm going with the Bulls, they should
have too much firepower for the Italian side.

Vodacom Bulls @ 1.51

---

Connacht at home against Scarlets, I'm going with Connacht, they lost to top side
Leinster last week and while not managing to score only held Leinster to 10 points.

Connacht @ 1.4

---

I'll probably also go with EdinburghVisitors to win against Zebre.

And Leinster at home to beat Munster.

I don't see odds on these games yet.

One other WTA tournament running ATM - Guadalajara, I wonder if Swiatek will play there?



Anyone following this tournament?

I have caught a few games with no bets yet. It looks like this is the tournament which
will determine the last places available in the WTA finals.

Swiatek, Jabeur and Pegula have already secured their spots.

With one week left, a single tournament -- the Guadalajara Open Akron --
will determine the majority of the singles field at the WTA Finals in Fort Worth.
With three players qualified (Iga Swiatek, Ons Jabeur and Jessica Pegula), five spots remain.

Me too, as are many others! I would be interested in a collectible item and with a unique
design rather than something simple like a BTC symbol and HODL or something.

So yes I would be interested but not a mug or cap or tee.

What kind of product would you find interesting?

I suppose something with a unique design or unique piece of art depicting Bitcointalk.org.

Is it more comfortable for you to buy directly from a street store, paying with Bitcoin? Or are the fears the same?
Yeah, that's like a cash transaction. They don't know my name and where I live and I don't need to know their either. That is of course they aren't using a payment processor that requires full KYC, which doesn't make it worth my time to: a) undergo KYC, and b) spend more money than I would if I paid with cash (considering the network fees + the service processing fees by the payment processor.   

That's a good point actually, using a walk in shop to buy doesn't necessitate us giving any
personal information other than a name fake or real and a contact number
2135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 18, 2022, 08:08:35 PM
Of course, there are players who are really not going to make it back to their former
glory with the new talent making their mark on the tour.

Next year it will be even more difficult for them as the younger players will have
become stronger and developed their games more.

I remember a guy that uploads a video on Youtube before who is already considered as Bitcoin billionaire now. He is telling them to buy Bitcoin even just an extra 1 dollar from their wallet.
So for sure, if we will go back to that time too, some of us will have some confusion too, because we still don't know what will the future of Bitcoin. I'm just glad to the people who believed with Bitcoin since the beginning.

Without reading any further through the thread this is what I also think, Kudos to those who
got involved early on and especially to those who continued right up to today from
those early days. These are the same people who registered early on the forum.

How does the OP's post make me feel?

I don't really feel anything specifically other than I wonder about all those people who got
into Bitcoin early on and were in their time thinking and worrying when the price would
rise and fall within that $1 space. It's amazing how far it has come.
2138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 17, 2022, 10:42:13 PM

Swiatek beat Pegula comprehensively in the semi and Vekic beat Collins after a lengthy
delay in their match meaning she had to play twice yesterday. I doubled my bet on Swiatek
with a handicap of -5.5. The match went to 3 sets with the last a bagel for Vekic.

Swiatek dominant again.
It is known that Swiatek is going to be the champion. Placing bets on her assure with the win, but I find you to be an expertise in tennis. Going for a handicap of -5.5 and winning the same isn't an easy thing. I believe, the luck is on your side. If not, the match would've ended by the 2nd set.

No no I'm not an expert at all. I was lucky though because the first and second sets were
both the same score for each player, 6-3, 3-6 and if Vekic had won only one game in the
third set my bet was lost.



One other WTA tournament running ATM - Guadalajara, I wonder if Swiatek will play there?

In the ATP there are three tournaments running now, Naples, Antwerp and Stockholm,
some of the top players are spread between the three.

Yes! I have added a link to the front page of my site and to the links page, I have no idea the reach
my site has but at the least there are two links to your site which will help with SEO on a small scale.

Let me know if thereis anything else I can put on my site which will benefit.

Ah right, ok I understand now.

I will support through various platforms, and I have a twitter account that has over 8000 followers, Two youtube accounts that have more than 600 subscribers and several accounts that have 200 and 400 more subscribers. I'm sure it will have an impact, because my accounts are organic, not from fake followers or subscribers.

I don't have any social media following of note.

It's definitely up to everyone who has an I terest in Bitcoin to do what they can to counter
the misinformation about Bitcoins energy consumption and where it comes from.

Well Wales should win that one, it will just be a debate on how many points.

~Actually just looking at the world rankings the Cook Islands are not too far behind,
11% and 7% respectively. I guess as a "Rugby Nation" Wales is focussed on the Union
game rather than League.

Yea Welsh would be able to give some insights into that.
