I believe the biggest odds was around 4.85 or thereabout, I really can't remember.

It was just 6 games boosted, but with almost every player from each team as a betbulder options, I've tried this a lot of time and I fall short sometimes by 6-13 players, I'm sure those familiar with NBA players props would understand better.

"Just 6 games", but you failed to mention these were also Betbuilder, so you practically made an acca out of individual game accas haha. That's quite a feat!

Not an NBA guy at all so don't know what you mean. I actually noticed during World Cup also that Betbuilder had individual player stats and I came so close also on so many (always made about 5 selections per match and missed usually just 1 by a whisker). I'm going to have to try this more often with football =)

Now I even know you can do BB accas, damn! Well done again man. Legend.

Unstoppable yes. But you are talking about price, aren't you? That is definitely stoppable haha.

Definitely nice to see us above 2017 ATH and yes, I still think US inflation sentiment has a lot to do with that but not holding my breath just yet.

So much to wait for. World Bank insists we are heading for worse and I won't mind being asked to wait a bit more for a true rally. Still, nice to have some relief so early in the year.
2623  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: huge difference in the price of BTCST on different exchanges on: January 14, 2023, 01:41:48 PM
Just to alert OP. It's a common exchange scam, you find it all over socials, Discord, Telegram. People coming in and telling you about the huge difference in spread on either a fake/crap coin like you posted, or a fake exchange (you deposit your coins there expecting to sell it at huge profit margin but it's just a giant sinkhole).

For the former, look up the chain. For the latter, look up the exchange and/or deposit exchange.

^ Derby day and yeah, I like United a lot now, but 4/1 is not good enough for me to think they can do an upset at home, even though the back of my mind says it smells like a value bet.

Instead, I'm taking Citeh too. Not ML though, they are leg 3/5 on my acca that went well (thanks Villa and Napoli).

Looking for a stream now. Good luck!

I've got Nunez on a lot for Brighton. He'll make good.
From what I've seen of Nunez, and that's not a lot this year. I actually quite like him, and reminds me of the earlier versions of Suarez, and Mane. Both were good players, worked hard for the team, but in the early seasons they couldn't hit a barn door from five meters away. I think he's just struggling to find that composure, but considering how young he is, and the fact the team itself isn't performing, he may be under a little more pressure than he will be once we've sorted out our problems.

I do like him, and won't be surprised when he does start scoring, and often.

Yes! Suarez and Mane indeed, I mentioned the former and it's easy to forget but these were all guys who didn't immediately settle. I can even remember Firmino taking a while to convince people (after all, he was a nobody from a small club). But they all display something really similar: hunger. I know it's Klopp's DNA anyway to get people who just want to play and are ravenous for pitch time (every new guy coming in has been just that mould).

And spot on, they were doing even worse from close range, and Nunez is younger, and under pressure to bang in the goals because the other team parts aren't doing well.

I'm backing him this game, but as long as we win.

-snip

Same, same. I don't think I ever spend my freebets on less than 5/1 odds. It's free, why not, right?

I don't do that, I am burning them on first available matches, most often than not on live betting on some favorite that is currently down (and there is always one, believe it or not)

usually odds are lower, between 2-3, not more than that, but it rarely comes good in the end

maybe I will take that approach with higher odds in the future, cannot be worse than this what I am currently doing

and yeah, what is with tomahawk9, he is not active for more than month, not even in FPL

Even if first matches are available, I'm still looking for other future matches that takes them to 5/1 or over. Usually I look at live, see something funny going on, then add that to some EPL games and Liverpool picks, so I can absolutely believe you, there's always something going on in Asia or US if Europe is asleep Wink

Not sure if this can be possible to do with Betnomi as I'm actually far less experienced there -- but time to find out soon enough.

I actually do much, much better with games that are weeks apart -- which goes to show even team lineups aren't as important as overall form and depth except of course, when it's disaster.

Hope toma's okay...

Anyway: Jabeur's gotta have my money but my bookie's actually not opened Women's outrights yet (what?) so it's Nadal as my only outright (caught at sweet 12/1 odds but it's actually more like 14/1 now haha).

I recon it will be either No.1 Swiatek or indeed No.2 Jabeur, for me Swiatek is a
bit of an unknown in 2023, I think Jabeur has been a bit more active, for the women's
side I would go for either of these, but who I'm not sure yet.

On the men's side I feel Nadal, like Swiatek is a bit unknown in 2023 so far,
alternatively Djokovic would be a strong bet for the outright.

Yeah, Swiatek's one of those I've stopped betting on (except in live if she's the favourite and she falls behind a set). Too overrated for good value odds, while Jabeur's still a consistent 2/1 in games I'm sure she wins. Still no outright for me on my bookie for women's so looks like I'm sitting this one out.

Djoko outright? Hasn't been good value for a long time. You get higher odds betting on his first game with handicap...

PL Guru Saint-loup Hoody Hoo not sure all of your names in forum but you guys haven't put in your picks yet for the night's biggest game. Probably check all your La Liga and EPL too -- all playing tonight.

I know I should just let it be since you're Top 5 and I need to catch up (haha) but you know, I'm nice.

Here is my slip, it's actually a long slip so it'd have been an eye sore share the whole slip, but below is the Odds, and form of motivation to others, having @buwaytress in mind, that the odds will at some point be in your favor!

My man. I don't know how to explain but I feel so proud on your behalf. Never hit that kind of odds -- but I know I don't try enough, so I'm going to have to make 2023 the year I try over 100x more often.

How many legs was this and what was the lowest/highest odds on a single game?

Something tells me your year of good news ain't over yet!
2629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 13, 2023, 02:03:57 PM
Trofo cap! Nice!

Hard to write the script for Chelski. Old boy scores against them. New boy gets sent off. I got the full 3 points for the upset, but I didn't budge a single positions. Going to be a tough climb for me this pool!

Like I said, I fancied Fulham, and I fancy Brighton to either get the draw or win over Liverpool.

Chelsea are having a United/Ole or United/Moyes moment. Guy just taking too big a step up. All respect for Potter, and I'd always rated him but a megateam from the capital was a bit too much of a move. Made the same mistakes (taking up all his former staff and surrounding himself with them) when he needed people acclimatised to the top end of league.

I've got Nunez on a lot for Brighton. He'll make good.

but not sure that Joao is going to have massive role in a win, if that happens

He'll be back, he'll want to play so bad. I bet you, he, Bruno, Diogo are all going to try and flex (they're all different positions but can all play attacking midfield).

Hey satoprincess. I can't believe it's been a year since I remember you and the Christmas food drive (did you do one last Christmas?). And now for your beauty salon. How I wish there would have been Bitcoin in South Sudan when I was last there... paying with SSP was terrible as it kept getting more and more expensive by the day to pay for something, I think I remember giving a huge wad of cash for a haircut!

Here's an idea: prepaid bookings only possible with Bitcoin Wink Buy 20 treatments for the price of 15, at a locked in price. That's really handy for a place with high inflation (and doesn't hurt you since you get BTC).
2631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm planning on hosting a BTC seminar and a friend also followed my path on: January 13, 2023, 11:53:28 AM
Definitely focus on the use case. It's a first time seminar (I'd even try calling it an event where you can give away free satoshis to try if they are willing to use Lightning, let's say) just treat it like a show-and-tell. Send your friend the BTC. Show them how it's done.

And answer this question as much as possible: Why should I accept Bitcoin when my local digital payment is faster, free, and more widely accepted?

(A good way to start answering that is to say, accepting Bitcoin doesn't mean abandoning everything else, it just means opening more doors for a merchant)
2632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would someone send 4 BTC to Satoshi (Genesis block) on: January 13, 2023, 10:49:48 AM
Sending to that Genesis address but it is a donation for everyone. 'They' donated about 25 BTC to everyone.

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.

That's how proud I feel about myself each time I burn fees to consolidate, or to send people Bitcoin I know they may never use. A small amount I sent to my kid is lost forever, that's my personal record for "burning" and address (I say small but it was the value years ago, I remind him every now and then how much he lost in today's value haha).
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦊 Betnomi.com | Champions League Pool ⚽️ Discussion Thread on: January 12, 2023, 10:41:31 PM
Hey everyone. There's a small thing I forgot to ask you, which is your Betnomi username. Could everyone ping me their username there when you remember? That's for freebets to be credited.

Just a PM should be fine. I realise there are also a few inactive so I'll message them if I don't see a PM from them. leea-1337 and tomahawk9 come to mind... both are owed yellow caps freebets and both are inactive.

I personally would welcome it if it became a random raffle. That way, users with little football experience also have the same chances of winning the ledger.

That was the idea. Fair chance for anyone regardless of idiocy at predictions haha.

What are you trying to say?
You try to prevent us to have a fight with our girlfriends because of the games Tongue . Or maybe saying we are in love with UCL  Grin  ?

But for me still a long long journey until we reach that date.

But always its worst to wait for example for the relaunch of F1. Thanks god always we have some football.

I'm definitely trying to say if you have to watch football, make sure you get flowers and early romantic lunch first so they're too full to care for dinner Wink

Great news! I think now the season will finally go through the "restart" procedure and it will be possible to choose several reliable games to realize this bonus, as the strengths of the teams will become more or less clear. Though I'll likely pick a couple of events (most likely multi bets) with odds above 10. After all, it's bonus money, so why not give fortune a chance to multiply it tenfold?  Roll Eyes

Same, same. I don't think I ever spend my freebets on less than 5/1 odds. It's free, why not, right?
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: January 12, 2023, 08:00:41 PM
Huh, just found out Osaka's withdrawn. No need for further comment, well documented in this thread. Didn't one of the Williams win a GS while a couple months pregnant?

Anyway: Jabeur's gotta have my money but my bookie's actually not opened Women's outrights yet (what?) so it's Nadal as my only outright (caught at sweet 12/1 odds but it's actually more like 14/1 now haha).

2635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 12, 2023, 06:35:06 PM
Liverpool is the worst team in the league in successful tackles percentage, add to that constant rotations due to injuries and you get an exhausted team that is full of players that have to keep playing.
Our pressing is nonexistent, which hinders our defensive game more than any statistic can show.

In our last game we made 14 tackles, half of them unsuccessful, with Thiago having 6 of these. Henderson and Fabinho were without a successful tackle in 90 minutes of football.

This team needs a hard reset, I expect us to be way better after the full summer break but there's still CL to fight for. Not getting top 4 will raise many unwanted questions - and I feel like we'll come up just short of the places leading there.

Yeah... Fabinho has been at sea this whole season, and you can sense and feel it's simple deep fatigue. Legs flailing out slow. Thiago's the only one looking sharp in midfield, Elliott at first, no longer. Salah probably benefited from no World Cup but he's not going to change our team fortunes from the wing.

Hard reset is absolutely what we need and I hope we get.

Our pressing too... we have to decide if we give it up without the personnel. Gakpo's our latest addition and he and Nunez are not the kind of pressers we need (yet).

Forrest and Newcastle are still in it along with Southampton so maybe they might take it more seriously than Man United who are the only other club still in it, though I think United might now push for it given it's probably the only thing they're in with a chance of winning this year.

ETH wants this so badly I know he'll want to pour everything into it. Just hope Newcastle give it a right go -- but N'ham or Saints winning it would be the coolest possible outcome for the neutral.
2636  Other / Archival / Re: [POLL]What do you expect from Bitcoin in 2023? on: January 12, 2023, 05:25:52 PM
^  The 4 year cycle could still be intact but really now we should start becoming more aware that it could also be starting to break apart.  The signs are there.  Just check the much touted rainbow chart.  Lol..  BTC right now is also trading below the last all time high.  That's something that hasn't happened before.  And if it so happens that BTC closes with another red yearly candle for 2023, having two red yearly candles back to back is also a first.  But if it closes the year with a green candle then the party prolly continues.  If not, there's prolly some sort of reset or something to start a new trend...  Dunno.

I've been saying ever since ATH anyway, the cycle remains, but the peak amplitudes (bottom and ATH) are already weakened. The long-sought reduced volatility over long periods is here -- and it's been dampening every cycle (ATH to ATH, and bottom as percentage of ATH).

And as you mentioned, it's the first time the last ATH has been breaches -- many other clues that we said goodbye to cycles as we know it.

It could all go different of course... but probably not in ways we'd hope for.
2637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & Anonymity on: January 12, 2023, 04:42:03 PM
To add what others already have

1) How are the authorities able to track our bitcoins?

By analysing utxo (the actual coins moving from wallet to wallet) on the blockchain. Even you could do this if you knew the addresses and coins involved.


2) How do we continue to remain anonymous while trading bitcoins?

You can't really. You can always be identified by your wallet, your username, your IP, many things. But P2P (trading with other people rather than with companies or intermediaries) is probably your best bet. Platforms like Bisq are safe enough and don't require KYC. You could, of course, be unknowingly trading with someone who intends to track or identify you. I trade majority p2p with people I've known for years. It's still a risk for sure, but that's a sort of trust circle that, if broken, they stand much more to lose.

3) Are there cryptocurrency exchanges that does not require our ID to trade in large quantity?

None I know of that you could trust enough. If they claim they do, they're not safe enough for large deposits.
2638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - a bloodless revolution on: January 12, 2023, 03:56:00 PM
Let's not get too much into semantics. I am sure that all understood the message of this thread. Looking for small mistakes is typically human, yet this is not the point -- debunking sentence by sentence. I could also argue and say the even during Industrial Revolution there were victims -- but it would be pointless... The important part is what Satoshi achieved and where Bitcoin led us in the past decade...

Agreed. I think bloodless is plain and simple: without causing directly the death of other through violence.

If we want to argue, every single development, progress, passage of time has victims either through intended or unforeseen circumstance. The way the world is so connected now, I fear every single item I buy has a chain of victims behind it, and ahead of it.

Bitcoin has always forged a path that doesn't require force.

I'm glad to be finally rid of Darwin Nunez, but then there you are again going against all known odds, which you usually have in your favor sometimes, I still have Mason Mount while I'm also waiting for the final cup fixtures before making decisions, because If all my players are very fit and available going into the weekend, I could cancel my initial points hit strategy

I'm okay if it doesn't work out, 3 points is more important. But I'm also holding off on major decisions until next game week.

Just as everyone is turning away from Darwin, there comes Buwaytress with his weir decision, always going against the odds. I finally got rid of him after being stupid for more than 4 GW, and besides, Liverpool will play Brighton, a very difficult team to beat, so I don't see Darwin scoring, but we never know. If you need my advice, I would manutd players because ETH does not rotate players as frequently as Pep. I currently have two Manchester United, two City, two Arsenal, and two Newcastle players. I paid -8 to get Andreas and Botman, who are both long-term players.

I've also made him captain. This isn't actually going against the odds, though, this is my assertion that he will finally come good on his conversions. I may still be wrong. He might be Suarez (first season offside 10+ times, second season he figured out how to do it and scored even more).

I definitely am toying with the idea of Rashford and maybe even Fernandes... City look brittle now.

@Trofo @Igebotz

Yeah, 14/1++ was too good against City (arguably it should have been 20/1 it's not right as Southampton have been that bad), and I actually doubled down again on a "to qualify" bet at 7/1 thinking, what if they go through but the regular game ends as a draw anyway, I'd feel cheated.
2640  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the $17,000+ bitcoin price breakout benchmark to new price direction on: January 12, 2023, 02:06:22 PM
If we become so excited at this point, what happens when we reach the 20k to 25k market price which is very much expected before the halving cycle that is somewhere around 2024?

Heh, remember, this subforum was full of threads of "17k" and "18k" already over the last few months? There's always someone to get excited over any arbitrary number.

Not that I'm unhappy over the last couple of days. Think it's a pleasant surprise. Only we've still got to watch out for CPI and rate hikes again -- remember the market dived despite Fed not actually doing anything more than expected.
