^^^ Nice bet Slam! I also have Sevilla on my ticket, but I went a bit more by pairing it with Basel in Conference so I'm sweating it out there. I guess I don't like winning easy, huh?

Also rooting for Mourinho, meanwhile. I'd like for him to reach the final and then smack... Sevilla? Imagine that, winning Conference, then Europa, then... UCL? I'll take some bets on that if someone could show me the odds Wink

UEFA Conference League resume today with the two first leg games of semifinals.
West Ham - Alkmaar in London. I think West Ham are better here in this league even though their results aren't that good in EPL.
Fiorentina - Basel in Italy with a clear advantage for Fiorentina for me. I wonder know if Fiorentina will be able to secure the qualification to the final game in this match.

I'm going for broke in this tail end of the season. Alkmaar is wonderful away, and has an excellent record against the top 3 in Eredivisie, but for some reason I don't trust them, Hammers have more or less secured Premiership so everything is in their favour.

Fiorentina similarly has nothing to play for I think, bar some mathematical miracle in Serie A, but Basel is even worse off in the Super League. Nothing left on the line for either but I'll pick Basel instead of Alkmaar as the underdog tonight!

Ah well, it wasn't to be. But let's take it a little over the top today, shall we?

I think Sevilla and Basel on their own have a say in winning tonight's first ties in Europa and Conference, the value is them being away. But instead of singles, I'm going to pair these as a short acca. Feel free to not follow Wink

Can agree with franky partly, don't use mixers you know to be flagged. But this isn't to say mixers aren't your friend. You can still increase privacy from prying eyes in many other cases. A supplier you're dealing with in crypto, or even p2p trading, or even your employer. You don't need or want them to know what you're doing.

For exchanges, there are other non-mixer services to break the links to your wallets.

That said, only a handful of exchanges actually have any kind of KYC worth their salt. Here's a recent example of Gate allowing sanctioned individuals and blacklisted emails to verify on their exchange despite "compliant KYC".

don't let us down against Leicester, secure your CL chances and push them closer to Championship

Hate to see such a faithful stalwart like Vardy take the bitter pill, actually not even sure who else is left of that title-winning team, can't think of anyone else there after Schmeichel left... but that really is the end of that era, and we have to make sure we make certain of that.

Merseyside Blue, oh crap, that got me hehe, Merseyside Red (Liverpool), London Blue (Chelsea), kids won't know, WE was a crazy game.


We have seen enough of Everton's Haram ball over the years, spending so much on players they don't need and changing managers like diapers, they were lucky enough to avoid relegation last season, they are 2 points from relegation and they have to play Man City and in form Wolves for survival, things aren't looking good for them.

WE was the bomb for so long, for years the superior of crappy FIFA but I noticed when I picked FIFA up on my kid's PS, that it had literally copied WE control for control. Anyway... Everton beating City to help Arsenal would be such sweetness.

I guess KTChampions was watching this pool more closely than anyone else haha. First place is indeed yours, well done! Everyone else, theoretically hahay and up still has a mathematical chance, including me haha.

Good luck to all!

If I win something [expecting though] don't worry about my corns. You can wait as much time as you want. But I thing you are worrying too much. It's still too early and by this time mempool will be back to it's normal congestion. 

I was told I was worrying for nothing and I hope that proves to be right. But I still preferred to alert everyone in the pool to a possible scenario -- and gauge the feeling. I'm pleased no one will be upset if we're forced to wait a bit more. In the end, it only makes a difference to prize winners, and maybe it's a small percentage less (currently around 3-4% less of prize amount) if we pay high fees, but still -- good to at least consider scenarios, however unlikely.

Quite happy to see I'll be the only one winning money from mitch but I made a huge save on myself tonight by not betting on any result... I would have gone for under 1.5 first half, or even Milan, but we're not even 15 minutes in and I think this tie is over.

Who imagines Mkhitaryan scoring in semifinal UCL heh.

It usually comes to nothing in hockey, I guess we are preconditioned by futsal where playing without goalkeeper almost always results with goals.

I cannot support this enough. The keeper, even if small, covers so much of the goal in futsal that leaving it open is like giving away a penalty kick without keeper moving.

Despite learning this lesson several times, our team kept doing that to chase draws, and ended up under a minute giving away free goal.

2510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the adjustment of the difficulty rate help with lowering transaction fees? on: May 10, 2023, 04:02:18 PM
In the very very short term, perhaps, but I think it's minuscule. Aim of difficulty is to get block times to the average time, that's all. And if it's lowering, it's because it was taking a bit above the average in the last 2 weeks. In fact, judging from most recent adjustment, barely a couple percent.

With luck and variance, more blocks in this period would only mean higher difficulty in the next anyway...

I'm a little bit shocked that only three of us gave the answers. I'm not counting the semi-finalists, of course. Even Trofo didn't give his answers this time. I guess you all need a break. I wanted to stay in the game so I answered out of my head. I'm not expecting good result for me...

Actually I fully intended to put my answers in and then... forgot. Looks like you actually got a point right, and Cro2 rep got 2/2. All semifinalists are tied at 0-0 haha.

My players have nothing to fight for this season except higher prizes, so I let them holiday in Saudi to watch Ronaldo have another bad day... I even gave my coaching staff time off to place losing bets.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 09, 2023, 06:32:25 PM
For the pool..... how nobody have the guts to put a everton 5-1 win? Tongue  Rdbase where are you? And sojourner most know as buwaytress?.

Hey, hey, I was the only one who got a point from Everton, even as a lover of upsets, even if I believe Everton can score 5 goals, I can't believe Brighton could concede 2, let alone 5!

@casperBGD I'm so pleased for you, and for Merseyside Blue (as Winning Eleven used to call them). Wouldn't it be so awesome for them to beat City next?
2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Odds, units advantage | Sportsbook | +87282 units on: May 09, 2023, 03:51:55 PM
It's Real Madrid time tonight, actually, and it just happens to be against City, so it's not that I'm counting on City to lose here, just counting on Real's magnificence on this particular stage. Benzema and Vini should be well rested, too, while Pep is going to fiddle around a bit, guaranteed.

So let's use up a bit of our profit cushion here, since it's almost season end:

300 units on Real Madrid to WIN vs City @3.50. Other odds: 3.32.
Units advantage: +54

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm in touch with Betnomi to see what can be arranged. It's unlikely we consider any other replacement payment -- I hold all the BTC, paying you guys with another source of funds puts them at risk.

I hope all this worry proves to be temporary but I'd rather go through the discussion now so no one is surprised after 10th June!

Back on UCL topic, 35/10 Real Madrid, of course I'm taking that all the way. City treble is hard for me to swallow.

I wonder you guys what kind of transaction fees are referring,maybe bitcoinfees.earn.com is outdated as the median average cost there is 0.22 mBitcoin which is 6 dollars to get confirmed in the next transaction but a 1 dollar transaction should confirm in about 5 hours and this is a time I can wait without problems as long as I save 1 dollar per hour.

That site has been outdated for years haha. There are much better estimates out there but I usually just undercut the estimate from Electrum's own. Blockchair.com is also the easiest to look at (for an estimate).

Believe me, $6 is not going to get you anywhere. 275k txs waiting as of now, but at least the estimate is 300 sat/byte right now. Cro2 made an almost 190/sat byte payment on Sunday ($25) and it just confirmed 40 blocks ago =)

For now, best of luck to the finalists and make sure you place a bet on these guys tonight, doesn't have to be much, just get a couple crypto quid on it!   ( max bet 2mbtc)

Cheers all and best of luck!!

Not the first time we've seen betting markets on forum events, I think I remember having luck in the World Cup one betting on one of our familiars, this time I'm putting my money on Mitchr4, though I can see why a lot are rooting on Pulsar77!

Here's my 10 crypto dollars Wink


And don't forget to follow the BSFL thread if you aren't already. I survived this first season (mathematically safe) but we're going to get some really good people promoted next one!

Man, notblox1, what about that end to the season, huh? Milwall hearts broken, Rovers ensured mutual destruction by coming back from behind. Coventry could have lost anyway, and still made it.

Luton Town probably the outsider in the playoffs... the only name I can't recognise as having ever been in the Premier League. Would be pretty cool to see them back, and it will be the most unfamiliar Prem lineup I can remember in ages... Brentford, Burnley, Leeds, Sheffield, maybe still Nott Forest?

I am okay to hold payments too. I see no point in wasting fees now, particularly when we also will not spend any of it in this condition. I trust the campaign managers and owners, no issue. Would a credit to Livecasino account work for some people who might want to gamble it all anyway haha?

@Trofo am certainly on the lookout... It could be those were paid accelerators... Made when fees were half of the rate today. Also, could be CPFP payments, will need to look into them myself too.

We may all have to deal with this pain longer than we think... Am seeing text inscriptions listed for 2 btc. Is how crazy it is...

Hey tokes, looks like you just need Welbeck now to get a freebet Wink

I also had Kane and Salah (easiest picks to make for those teams) but I went a tad bit smart with Jesus and Solanke, though to be fair, I'd have switch to safer picks like you Rashford and Kai Havertz, and still failed.

Pity we had a goalfest from Fulham/Leicester today even Maddison hit. But I'm only at 3/7 so no joy.

@Juggy777 see? You said goals would dry up and I said they'd just keep coming. Who in their right mind says Fulham score 5 huh?
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 08, 2023, 01:59:35 PM
Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal
West Ham 1-0 Man Utd

Well this worked out well Wink

Top 4 we are coming (maybe).

Yeah, and just like that the 2-game cushions are gone, so now we have to fight back for the gap haha.

Reality check says we still will get Europa spot at best, and in a way, we'll probably just miss out Top 4 on a point or two, and that would be heartbreaking after such an effort.

Still, I watched United game with more excitement than I have any game in recent weeks. Thank you De Gea Wink They probably should have lost 2-0 too, Lindelof no-VAR-review penalty =D

Tonight, rooting for Everton, but sort of need Brighton to be on a hot streak too cause we need them to beat Newcastle heh. They've got the toughest run in, but I wouldn't put it past them to navigate Newcastle, City and Arsenal!

^ Phew. Yeah. Thought it was all over really once Max started on 9th but I suppose you can't put away a good engine/driver combination for too long.

As expected (or as I did anyway), Leclerc didn't have staying power (or Ferrari doesn't I suppose) but he still made points. My last-minute decision to put Tsunoda back in 10th backfired, had I kept in Leclerc instead, probably at least another point to get 16.

Well done to the leaders, pays to pick the favourites most of the time, hm?
