Anyone else watching the early game? Frustrating as usual, but we do look like we're back to our offensive clicking, Nunez, Gakpo and Salah are a bit better playing together. Robbo and Trent are actually switching flanks a bit, and being more offensive, and Fabinho doesn't look as shitty as he has been almost all season... but we let Solanke beat our trap a couple of times and it's nerves all over again... had they better finishers they might be more than a goal ahead.

1 shot on target, one goal. We had 4...

Funny how BSFL is making me think of games I wouldn't even watch, never mind bet on (Leicester-Chelsea). Odds are crap. Form is crap. Ige will end up mad, regardless of the result haha.

I'd have a question on who gets the sack after this game, but both clubs seem intent on keeping Rodgers/Potter!


Yeah, it will most likely be a repeat of the last final. We'll probably make Courtois seem like a fantastic keeper again. And then we finally get one goal at the death of first half, for all our effort.

And then maybe another after the restart, game on Liverpool we need only 1 more to secure ET... then Benzema/Vinicius recover from their dementia and remember how to score goals.

Still... it'll be fun and hopefully cryptofrka gets a memorable outing!

Nice promo, ampera. Been a while since I flexed on casino wager, but I'm too busy with sports betting these days (and even that's a pale shadow of the activity I used to have).

Anyone feel good about this week's MajSev? Most of the prolific teams are in on the list, and teams like Liverpool are on the rise. Salah? Nunez? Gakpo? Damn =D

For the first time in a while, I had a good start for the weekend. No love for Spezia but Inter have been wobbly, even when dominating.


So plenty of upsets eyed today, but I'll take a good Liverpool win away for losing everything else.

Southampton should have a nice super boost tomorrow, if so, I'll double down on my bet

^ Nicely done, as usual, I probably don't need to congratulate people anymore, they're doing what they're doing and I'm not making life difficult for anyone anywhere in the pools heh.

I took a bet against Inter in the end today. Trying to regain my old composure of just picking underdogs and I have to say, I feel good about my chances. Not because Spezia are amazing, but because Inter seem to want to do badly. HT 0-0 still gives me hope...

Yeah a bit disappointed with Arsenal last night, though the result isn't actually a bad one away at a tough location to a tough team. LFC_Bitcoin and I are finely even at the end of Friday so it's a weekend to decide the round.

Trofo actually picking Sevilla's a surprise for me

Sportsbet doing an early Arsenal payout, and still a good number of games to go? Generous, but that's awesome to hear. Think this is at least the 3rd season in a row you guys have paid out early on outrights, good on ya Gooners who believed in your team from the get go.

Crazy for anyone who placed their outrights before today... insta doubling!

Meanwhile, me waiting with Liverpool outrights every season (haha).

@cryptofrka Yeah, City's still a favourite for me. Hope I'm wrong!

Unpopular to recommend but I'm with mk4 on "get a job".

I think the danger with Bitcoin or any kind of investment is people get enamoured with the promise, and then abandon themselves and their careers/skills/livelihood. So save yourself time and use it to get better value for youself.

If you're like me or most people, you can't really afford to deep dive and entrench yourself in it. Instead, do your job well, upskill, gain experience, focus on yourself, and you'll be able to expand your income -- and then DCA strategy benefits.

That's the long-term solution. No magic bitcoin tree.

Bad news is arguable =)

If you're a trader/speculator and you've got expiring long bets, sure.

If you're a DCA guy and you haven't met your target hoarding (hello, that's me), then it's more time and opportunity to get Bitcoin below $20k, knowing that's not going to last forever.

So yeah, clear as mud. Honestly didn't see it coming. Even with Powell's weird messaging on interest rate hikes, markets didn't immediately respond -- guess it took a while to sink it. Dollar's once more rising against euro and other currencies, and as expected Bitcoin's following suit.

So I think that's the cue for the next year or so. Dollar strength, and all reliant on what the Fed does.

Arsenal.... what are you doing?

But yeah I'm with casper here. Juventus and Sevilla, stay away please. They're too busy either trying to qualify for UCL or avoid relegation. This trophy might come with prize money comparable to a few good buys but neither team will fancy their chances to go all the way.

Now Betis upset? Sounds like my kind of bet

Villareal and Fiorentina look pretty all right for the odds, but not touching any of the others (save maybe a Hammers HT win). Nice and Basel would be my darkhorse picks, but at this stage, I'd go for a Nice rebuild progress, to fall to one of Spain/Italy/England teams later if they make it past Sheriff.

Normally here's also where I back some of the geographically Asian teams (what? EUFA?) but not when odds aren't 5/1!

Yikes, no. A tattoo to win it, sure (laser removal should be 1% of the prize haha).

Funnily enough I think 1 ticket has a higher chance than the lotteries I buy...


You're taking the BTC, we all are. Who're we kidding?

Rolex? 1 in a billion? Yeah, why not?

Somewhat remember him, don't even recall he tweeted in 2018 (brave to do so in a bear perhaps but you know these guys these days).

Even somewhat surprised he hasn't gone even farther to either extremes (convert or bully).

Economist he may be, and he's certainly loads smarter than me, but I wonder if he's really kicking the can down the road with Bitcoin? I'd be retiring on my Nobel prize money.

Didn't read this until now actually, guess some people were wrong. I switched off at half time to do some real life things, but I actually thought Messi had some good play, Mbappe as usual dynamic but just not enough quality on the delivery.

Kind of bummed they didn't make it through but only because I bet on them.

Underwhelming team of the last 5 seasons...

So I got my free Golden Ticket today, from a spin. Seems like it's my destiny to always win one spin to get these tickets every round. I'm going to actually hope I don't get another till the end of the round, and my single ticket will win the Lambo (haha). I'll be so legendary in these parts after that.

Funny how I'd won my past ones from email spins, now I've got Premium and I only get the one strike now -- Lady Luck huh.

I don't think it's completely baseless FUD, we all know they all know we all know they do the same things behind those desks, SBF was just too far out of his league, and lacked the same level of checks and balances.

Does this lead to Binance biting the dust? Nah. Does it mean they won't eventually bite the dust? I won't dismiss the possibility entirely, but it won't be because of this. If I'm wrong and it does? What doesn't kill Bitcoin only makes it stronger =)

Spurs win + Kane on the specials today at 3/1 is tempting but I'm actually thinking they crash out tonight, and PSG win (not sure if enough to progress). So I'll just keep my money for today and regret tomorrow heh.

darxiaomi: Is it weird I actually understood that betslip and didn't realise it was Spanish until I read your post? Sometimes I think I just assume things from numbers (19.5 was all I needed to see haha).

And yeah, just as I thought we'd see it being more vulnerable, they go ahead and double down on interest huh...

Don't know how I missed this or why I'm not seeing more discussion about it but Powell just suggested -- after months of seemingly agreeing that things aren't as bad as they thought and that they could ease down on interest rate hikes -- that even bigger increases are expected?

So much about continuing to dump US dollar when it's relatively "free" money just holding for interest in short term -- wish I had some for more BTC.
