I'm in two minds about all this talk of side-hustling, increasingly popular after Covid.

Yes, improves financial stability for the short and even medium term, but it usually involves some kind of enterprise that to me isn't sustainable without further investment into "upskilling"... and that takes away the focus from an existing career that, if spent time on, becomes the route to financial stability (provided it is a career you actually believe in and are interested in).

How about Bitcoin earning and DCA as a truly passive "side job"?

Haha, thanks and keep it coming! Rivals like me are fine, I'm nowhere near any kind of position to threaten anyone. But yeah, Greenwood only got in at 88th minute, so I got it wrong on that gamble, and a nice goal for Ferguson.

Should still have captained Haaland, he did get vice, so I guess my changes anyway brought me up a tick but there's very little skin left for me in FPL.

All this practice for when I finally get this exercise more of a habit

Re the specials: City one hit way too easily, damned Wolves.

Next ones? The way this match is going to go, either a few of those specials will hit, or none at all...

Over 3.5 and 7 corners each is pretty out there, but not impossible if we see BTTS in first half, but United don't rack up the corners anymore with their counters I feel, so I think they'll fall short on those.

If I had any money I'd back Saka to score in first 10 minutes and on Fred sending off.

Tempting to think this will be a classic United/Arsenal encounter but if anything, it's the Gunners who are prone to red cards these days...

Damn you, Sampdoria. Initially thought the draw was smart, then switched allegiance to the home team, not that I'd have gotten points either way  -- winless in 5 games but still in 7th place now (thanks Juventus). Wonder if I need to start taking them a bit more seriously now?

Still messing about with my Atalanta prediction. SO tempting to back Juve to go win every game from now on after their drama but odds on Atalanta are just. so. tasty.

Yeah, Almiron's drying up and they were last saved by Isak, would have backed them to score anyway in all games if they continue to play the way they've been when I could catch their games, but haven't watched them for a while now.

Saints rooted to the bottom so it looks pretty dire, but at least there are plenty more games to play and points to bag. League cup glory?

No further bets for me today, just the Arsenal special (win + over 7.5 corners). Also Wolves bet from a long time ago, was 14/1 but that was before they lost to United and clambered out of the hole with Spurs, so looks good at 12/1 now.

It wasn't so much how dangerous stablecoins were -- algo or not -- to me, rather than the fact that all that value was built up on imaginary funds, plus the practice of unlimited money generation from staking (vapour making vapour).

And behind all that lies the only utility: speculation. Which we should have learnt by now isn't sustainable.

Hmm, not sure we're on the same page. You interpret candles, candles form on strict conditions -- it's what you do with them and how you think the next action will be lies the interpretation.

And far as I know, candlesticks are indicators themselves, suggesting future patterns and confirmed by subsequent candles -- you don't jump ahead of the first main candle

Yeah, don't get caught up in the news (which is all after the fact, really) and don't get caught up in predictions. As pointed out above, people were gunning for 100k 5 years ago (not to mention the prophets of 1 million dollar Bitcoin). That might seem like a certainty in next ATH (I certainly think so) but we'll probably hear about 500k and more in the run up. Don't buy any of it.

This isn't manipulation, to me. It's just a return to the mean. We'll probably suffer a lot more before proper confidence pushes price back to actual value.

Just checking in to see the vibe here and seems like the betting options get a lot of love these days, despite the terrible odds haha (sorry!). Get that you can't find many other price predictions but sports wise, losing a lot on value.

Anyway, popped myself 5k lottery tix today on a WoF. More than I would ever get on wager. Be nice to snag something here as my sports betting is very unhealthy now!

Always knew we were going to say goodbye to a lot of players and seeds well before QFs (sorry for making a pointless point) but I did not think to see Tsitsipas still alive this late. One of the guys I used to bank on a lot, to great disappointment, and finally having given him up, if he goes on to take AO I will crack lips smiling.

P.S. He's only still in second set after taking the first but on the way Sinner's not able to convert enough breaks, I think this is over.

Yeah killed me anyway because Liverpool was on my ticket, so it looks like another sad day for me, to compound several sad weeks in a row. I actually do decent because of upsets over the long run, but I'm wiping out my profits by putting Liverpool on almost every acca I have.

PNE did themselves another favour once more keeping in tune with my feeling that this league is for martingaling on a team with odds above 2/1. Stick with Blades HT win for a bit, it's good value, but don't take my word for it.

^^^Thank icopress and Betnomi, I'm just helping along

Honestly, at this low point in Liverpool's season, I'm really looking forward to UCL. We get to meet Real, hopefully who maintain their freakish form, and we reset the season from there. We're over 10 points behind UCL spots, I'm sure we'll still get 4th, we know how, but it would be amazing to just win this trophy to make up for this deep disappointment.

Slightly out of topic but did anyone notice Betnomi has 2026 World Cup outright odds out? First thing that greets me on their Sports page haha.

Someone remind me never to put money on Freiburg again this season, please. At least not after Bayern drop points. 4 point gap became 5, throw away the game in hand, won't you?


I'm still going to bet against them every time odds are 10/1 and above (yesterday only 3/1 so that was dumb). They'll win, no doubt. Just only because every other pretender to the throne is incapable of capitalising on Bayern's inconsistency.

Man, what a match day. First goal in all the games finally on 28th minute, and it comes of course not from Chelsea, not from Liverpool, not from a star but from Mitoma, assist from Mac Allister -- both who had great World Cup games and taking their form into the league.

Already sitting on multiple losses thanks to Liverpool not finding the net, so all hopes now on Arsenal tomorrow. Oh and maybe a Saints win today too? Playing the counter against Emery doesn't usually work but they only need 1 goal...

I've backed Atalanta, just surprised they're not having better odds given the form of both teams. Juve will probably still take a 1:0 win though, but I'm happy to gamble on the result. No idea about Lazio, not following news...


Hah! I knew something was coming out of the World Cup season investigations. Not sorry to hear too -- not like they were fighting for the title neither for the way they're playing nor their tactical mastery. Seems like the people in charge over there don't like learning their lessons.

A VAR penalty call and Salah to convert you mean? Why not?

Elliot's what I call resolute, but no way near as terrifying as Nunez, Diaz, even on their off days =p And hey you watch out for Robbo (on my fantasy) and Thiago man, them two get crazy when they angry.


Took your advice then Still had 0.6 in the bank and Ferguson only cost 0.4 more, wildcard still active so did that. Greenwood was really just thinking of Leeds' resurgence with Bamford and his play usually benefits Greenwood. But Ferguson probably wiser on the bench.

^ Damn I didn't see that Liverpool special, would definitely have put a bit on it, now am headed out and too late to make a deposit plus bet on the move. Had cleared my entire account out on bets on accas and then just finished off on the Arsenal special.

Liverpool to win isn't guaranteed by any means, but Salah scoring is probably something more likely, he loves a big game.

Why the hate? We seem happy enough when a Tweet seems to bring Bitcoin up. Shouldn't we pay our dues when the opposite happens?

Bitcoin's intention isn't to shame, if anyone feels embarrassed or even humiliated it is by their own doing -- much like I sometimes feel the bile rising just reading my old posts heh.

P.S. What does it take to become a social media expert anyway?

@LFC_Bitcoin @slaman29

Yeah I'm pretty big on Liverpool too, for all our troubles this season, we're still somehow able to maintain some kind of spirit at home, and if there is good news, we've actually played our best football against tougher sides (is Chelski even a tough side anymore now though?).

Anyway. 22/10 is great odds at Anfield, we still have Salah!


That it would be. I was the first to say they're just going to crumble, but happy to have been proven wrong (so far). Arsenal have been anything but the Arsenal I've known for the past decade though.

I won't be too upset by any outcome though... worst-case scenario for me personally is United actually going on to win the title but they are in no shape for that with 17 games to fight left.

Made wholesale changes to my team now using my wildcard to save 36 penalty points heh... So Salah back in, Greenwood to offset costs, and Robbo keeps his place but I'm just going to try gain points today and won't mind taking penalties to clean out the team again.

My captain is Salah this week, vice is Haaland. We need to win this game in a big way to give ourselves a boost... sentimental much?
