Yeah, there we go. Feyenoord dropping points at a time when they need statements of intent, now leaving the door open for Alkmaar (what?) to sit atop the league, if they win and Eindhoven takes what they'll feel is a possible victory at Feyenoord next game.

Couldn't have been an easier debut for Heitinga in the end, though must be nice to see Kudus, Tadic and Klaasen on target.

Wow. Just as I thought Atalanta finds a way to score the goals, they let in 5 at home against... Sassuolo haha. If Giroud's opener had stood, it could have been a whole different ball game after.

It was such an interesting prospect to see Sassuolo at 1.09 live even leading 3-1 at HT, I took them and tagged them on a Liverpool ML... so let's see how my Sunday pans out. Might be tempted to go on Monza later if all is well in 40 mins. Heh.

Got to be one of the most misleading headlines I've read recently heh. She didn't win the lottery, she lost all her money gambling. That's really the headline, here, no?

I mean, you lose at poker or black jack or roulette, and you don't mention how many rounds you win before eventually busting (you can even win more hands than lose as people like me usually bust when chasing losing streaks).

Missed the special and he didn't drop a single set so I ended up with no money bet. Probably one of the lowest amounts and frequencies I've ever spent on a GS, but that 25/10 seems in hindsight now the best value bet of them all -- and it still failed by one game haha.

So looks like I saved myself more money (that's a good thing, right?).

We at home here were big fans of Tsitsipas a few years ago, and he was tipped to be
one of the "top 3" replacements, but it hasnt materialised yet, maybe he will come good
this year?

I definitely think though that he needs to ditch the family from the coaching, they are
a distraction IMO.

Didn't realise he had family on coaching (but doesn't Djoko and a lot of others do as well?). Still find it a bit strange to have that, even if it does happen in football too.

Anyway, match is going almost as I expected. More aces from Tsitsi, but more receiving points from Djoko.

Still waiting for a set to drop before I pull trigger on any bet but at least second set shows the Greek can still get to him. He needs to get a good streak going though and get his forehand going... totally let him down in the tie break.

Man, Bayern just teasing everyone else these days. Actually had a bet on Frankfurt last minute as odds were above 8/1 but didn't seriously think Bayern would slip up. Then we get this result. Every team including BVB in for it.

Not really a serious question but is Mane missed?

@KTChampions yes please. Knock out PSG and keep this league well alive. I of course want my team to win but we gotta take care of Real first.
2507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 28, 2023, 06:48:25 PM
@tokeweed yep, we've been pursuing him (or Klopp has anyway) for at least 3 seasons now, but he's always been too expensive, and then it was also a matter of timing, and now our old backroom acquisition people are gone also, so I'm not sure. It does appear owners are finally willing to consider the fee but then now we're not the only ones.

It would be the solution to our problems, but to be honest I'm not sure we can afford him. When it gets closer to the summer, Real Madrid, and the likes will put in some massive bids, with even bigger wages. Which, without breaking the wage structure we just can't compete with. Bellingham would absolutely want to be a Liverpool fan, and prioritise that over a better wage, which I don't think is the case.

We've got more problems than just the midfield it seems, but I feel Bellingham would be an absolutely massive statement. I can't see us willing to pay him the same as Salah though, which will ultimately be the reason he goes elsewhere. I think it's just rumours at the moment, I don't think anyone is leading the race. I think it's just simply the case of Liverpool being the most vocal.

Yeah, I think he's a smart boy, and our fortunes thus far will have played its part in swaying that "hunger" if there ever was a case that he might choose heart over money. And we can't blame him for that.

I doubt we're in the lead too. It's just the fandom, and as you say, rumours, which have been fanning (admittedly also by me) since even when we won the title (damn that's ages ago).

Time for revenge for Liverpool in tomorrow game,I personally can not forget the humiliating lost game 3-0 against Brighton not that long ago.

~snip
I normally have odds on my horizon but now I realise why I haven't seen Ajax, they must no longer be huge favourites.

actually, I planned to put something on Ajax, but it was still @1.22 on them to win in 55 minute (and then conceived and seemed that they will not recover)
but, on the other hand, they had some 90% possession and 16/6 shots, while Volendam had wish to pass on Ajax half and nothing more than that, and they finished with 31 shot on goal

IMO, Feyenoord is not stable enough to win title in the end, although I would like to see them on top

Yeah, Dirk Kuyt captain days of strength and consistency long gone, but I definitely am enjoying Ajax's crappiness. My closest friends here (they're not that close but it's as good as it gets) are semi-Feyenoord supporters, but we can definitely agree we all want Ajax to be miserable.

Problem now is they acted swiftly and have a new guy in place. That can result in them climbing back up the table and those already at the top are, as you say, unreliable.

Nice one Slam. HT still scoreless but don't think there is any need to worry.

Seems like we could be headed for an El Clasico final huh?
Yes, all things being considered we should get an EL Classico final, that should be a nice match up, wouldn't it ? because it's been a while we had an El Classico knockout fixture, let alone a final. I hope it does happen, honestly.

The way my team's playing, I honestly don't mind seeing these top 2 giants clash. They've become more attractive again, in part because of Real magic, in part because Barca's stopped looking like shit.

grim season for me, I have my 5 European teams that I support for 30+ years (Everton(EPL), Valencia(LL), Leverkusen(BL), Cagliari(C) and Auxerre(L1)) and this is probably worst season overall

Auxerre relegated long time ago, after Guy Roux era, and will go down one more time, Cagliari relegated last year, Everton is in relegation zone this season, Valencia and Leverkusen are not within top table part
didn't use to getting trophies, but European competitions were almost standard for several teams, now barely one from five win over match day

One club at a time for me is all I can manage. I suppose I have some leanings towards the underdogs in La Liga and Serie A, but that is generally reliant on their performance (it's never Real, Barca or Atletico which is great so I can enjoy/hate as a neutral).

Auxerre was sad, I didn't feel much for Cagliari, Everton, well, I can never take seriously. This season I followed Freiburg for a bit (and one of my fav players Doan helps me). Hang in there, man.

Re: Tsitsipas

I think a good few of us got let down by betting on Tsitsipas in the past, I haven't
been betting on him either since then.

TBH it seems to me (and it's something I said back in December) Djokovic has to
be feeling superior, and knows he is superior ATM to any other player on tour.

I would say he has already at this stage lined up a win in every tournament in his schedule
and definitely every GS this year as a win.

He fairly breezed through his match today, 3 sets!

I really can't see Tsitsipas winning tomorrow. Djokovic to me is super focussed, after
last year - he is on a mission now.

I genuinely liked Tsitsi, as a very casual follower who only gets to watch maybe 1 in 5 games properly, and only GS, the problem was when I started betting on him too, and you always felt, with the greats slowly retreating from the stage (with the exception of Djoko), I always felt he would be one of the replacements.

Did anyone actually have Tsitsi on outright? Was at least 20/1 as I recall. Amazing time to hedge.

Also, ML of $50 gets you the freebet so, yeah I'm going for that!

Its not limited to ML though, typically any bet at $50 minimum will get you $10 free chips.

I won mine with draw on half time. Glad that I took them at boosted odds as well, which is pretty decent



Hoping to win my next free bet as I also lost my 2nd one  Roll Eyes, what a luck

My mistake, I meant to say I had an ML, and that got me the freebet. The $50 does need to be on the game with min 1.50 odds though, so just watch for that.

Good that you won. I hedged on Citeh, but then the final game on my acca was on Wellington in A-league... so all I got back was my stake as a freebet. Can't win them all, but FA Cup today kicks off my second round of accas. All to live for =)

Any rival tips from you Trofo? Wink
As long as you are captaining Salah I can share anything, you will not outscore Rashford with two games  Grin

Acording to the expected stats Odegaard is better than Martinelli and Saka, but Saka has penalties on his side. Now that Nketiah is playing well, Martinelli lost some of the apeal, he is not having that much chances like when Jesus was linking up with fellow countryman.

That's okay. One day, soon, hopefully, this captaining of Salah will pay off. Rashford's too hot to leave out, Saka is probably the only guy who's stayed in my team the longest, but I've also switched Pope out now, have a feeling it can't last.

Martinelli played pretty ok last night but Trossard had as best a debut as you can get while on the losing side. He's backup though, so yeah I'm not going to tinker with Arsenal beyond (maybe) Martinelli.
2513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bye Bye Bear Market :) on: January 28, 2023, 11:43:13 AM
It's probably a surge like what happened during 2019. It was the middle of a bear market, but Bitcoin went from $3,000 to $13,000, then went back down.

Yes, this is also what I'm seeing here back in 2019 when we are still in the beginning of the year if I'm not mistaken, there was huge spike. But that time it was said that the spike was brought by 3 big whales who collude to push the price up. After that the price did go down again.

Perhaps this might be the case here this 2023, just like what we are seeing, the price suddenly goes to $23k and not stopping.

And probably the ceiling will be $25k before we might go for a correction.

Painful to admit as it may be, this is also how I see this. Can't dismiss that the sell walls are down... We were, after all, trading below the old ATH for a really long time and that has never happened before so we could still see this line hold as extreme support. But on the other hand, sellers only get exhausted for so long and this could just be a correction before we see long term sentiment and general economic outlook begin their sustained pressures.

All that, nevertheless, cannot fight eventual supply pressure from halving in just over a year.
2514  Economy / Economics / Re: Feb 1 FOMC meeting on: January 28, 2023, 10:34:08 AM
Yeah, and it is not really a direct impact on Bitcoin, but rather the reaction of stock markets there after the decision or the general sentiment of the announcement. If stocks react badly, Bitcoin merely follows. We can expect as people have responded above that any indication of interest going down (or rate of hikes slowing) and stocks should react positively.

Effect is also temporary. Doubt Bitcoin prices maintain the purge or rally resulting from that.

Hey everyone! As icopress mentions above, there will be some corrections to the amounts owed for yellow caps of this pool. Appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter -- many moving parts and cogs, but you will not miss anything eventually, promise Wink

buwaytress, if you want you can add this information to the OP (this is the latest update on freebet terms).

Done! I would recommend they keep the requirements simpler and allow a much longer timeframe, keeping in mind the inactive users who may only return later!

FA Cup this weekend so a nice break for LFC fans. I know the FA Cup is a good trophy to win but OMG, it feels good to have a break from being absolutely crap in the PL. we can’t be any worse than our last visit to Brighton, can we.

Hopefully with Jota coming back soon & Luis Diaz not too far away things will get better. I’m still just in shock that we’re not buying a midfielder, it’s borderline gross negligence imo.

I knew we had a break but I thought there'd be midweek footie in the league and then I see Superbru and it's actually next Friday that we start again so yeah, I'm with you on this. Need a break, the team needs it, and we need to count that clock down on injuries (maybe get some early returns?).

I hate to say it too but feels like Bellingham's a more and more distant buy, think we waited too long to cough up. Hope I'm wrong.

Oh and damned City...

I've always seen halving as a reliable indicator of good things. I do think that the next couple of halvings aren't enough to make people (or miners) permanently panic, though. Even after the one after the next it's still over 1 BTC and if price goes along with long-term trends I expect that single BTC reward to still be plenty incentive.

But yes. I am looking forward =)

Just look at my past round on Superbru:



And I was thinking hard before each pick. I have a feeling that if I made them blindly, I'd perform better, tbh.

So you thought hard and thought City wouldn't win at home or Arsenal didn't stand a chance against mini-revived United? It was a tough round for me but going with some of the favourites didn't hurt me. Just ignore how close to the bottom I am in the pool...

If you won some free bets last weekend in the promotions Jeremypwr ran, I have paid them out today! (not next Monday as per usual)

I definitely got my share in, thanks Steve and jeremypwr! Already lost one, but this weekend's got a major share on the remaining tickets. No Liverpool this time, and actually City on one, but only as a hedge because I have real money on the Gunners.

Is the office getting champagne ready for May or too soon to count the Arsenal chickens?
