Oxford vs Arsenal tonight & sportsbet.io sponsored, PL leaders Arsenal take on Oxford in a proper old fashioned FA Cup tie. Arsenal will obviously go in as favourites but away from home with probably Arteta making a few changes, Oxford will be up for it. It could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Oxford players.

What do you think guys?

Arsenal are such heavy favourites I didn't even like the handicap offers, but might check live lines out or closer to game on Betbuilder and plenty of player stats picks like I tried in World Cup (if available).

After the heroics of Stevenage and Wrexham, Oxford will be fancying their chances.

Gooners way too good though and they'll have Saka on bench am sure at least to rescue the game if needed.

If you're looking to make profit this year, I wouldn't suggest Bitcoin. It's a proven tech, a proven asset -- but only speculators make money in the short term. Be prepared to view 1/2 years as short term, and a halving cycle (supply rate adjustment every 4-5 years) as a medium-term time frame, and much longer than that as long-term. I've only had Bitcoin since 2016 and I see myself as maybe midway through a medium-term assessment.

Does go without saying though, you don't blame the invention for the failure of the industry it enhanced.

I'm not quoting of course but people (media who then influenced people) blamed the internet for porn, for gambling, for Satanism, etc. Before that, television and video games for violence, serial killing. MTV for killing radio. Rock and roll for the destruction of values.

Go back further and they blamed newspapers and books for the loss of interest in conversation and the outdoors.

Never mind the condescending attitude you get as a Bitcoiner... just don't forget not to be the same to them when your use of a proven form of money helps you break out of one of the many fiat disadvantages.

This outright promotion is just so sick. I dont really follow Tennis anymore but how many rounds are there going to be until the final? with minimum of 50 usdt worth of outright bet, Nadal just needed to win 5 games though then Im content with and even better if he gets through until final. Its written free-bet though so cmiiw but this can be used on sportsbet isnt it?

Ah, so the odds for Nadal are back up (boost that and you should get the 12/1 odds I did.

I seem to remember the promo being $20 freebet and not $10 you mention (and as now displayed on the promo page -- so maybe I was mistaken there. Freebet of course on SB!

7 rounds in AO so Nadal would need to win QF to get all the money back, but it's still a great promo.

@buwaytress as we head deeper into this season it’s starting to look that certain player’s will score more goals than other’s hence our chances of winning will probably increase now. Also I feel that one should look at the top premier league goal scorer’s for inspiration whenever they’re selecting their majestic 7, because it can help a lot especially for people who don’t like to do too much research.

You've just described one aspect of every season in football, heh but I don't agree. All players except outliers score in streaks. You can't predict when it ends or restarts. Just thinking of early season runners (Haaland is an anomaly so let's forget about him) where streaks start, remember Jesus firing Arsenal early and then losing his touch? Take EPL's past 4/5 seasons where we've had MajSev. It's good enough to put Salah in and he gets streaks but can suddenly dry up (like he seems to be now), Mane was the same at some points.

I can almost guarantee now Saka and Mitrovic, who seem to be in their streaks, will get stuck in a patch over next 5 or so games.

And last season (or was it the one before?), we had the $10,000 winner in the very first game week, then we all did badly thereafter.

It's luck, and a bit of knowledge (injuries, suspensions, predicted lineups).

They are not rich enough, they are just dealing with something that they largely do not understand, and the consequences of that are financial losses. Let's take for example the OP who is a Member rank with the potential to become a Full member, and asks such a banal question about whales, as if it is impossible for someone today to have 1000 or 10 000 BTC or even much more.

Yeah, I know I sound a bit dismissive sometimes -- I don't really mind the banal questions so much, I know I asked them years ago (not about Bitcoin but same approach I used to have when dealing with digital money). It's more the made-up "personal stories" I seem to find more and more now, coming in the same style and banality that gets to me.

Still, a good reminder to myself that I should always give the benefit of doubt, having enjoyed that myself in days gone. I hope OP comes back with findings after contacting Binance.

Spot on about privacy though... we got plenty enough threats to protect what we have, doesn't help to paint a target on ourselves.

mk4's suggestion are probably what I'd say are the most reputable too -- The Block, anyway, the one I'd rank the highest there. Just ignore all sponsored posts (they're usually clearly marked and are just a minor step up from pure Press Release type or advertisement posts) as those have the lowest quality and most dubious sources (they're paid for, so can't really blame them for using a common media business model).

Crypto Town Crier is my occasional "how to read between the lines of the real news" site but they seem to have taken a break in the last month. I was formerly affiliated with Bitcoin News also, and while their content is a bit iffy, it does strive to be more of a commentary site than breaking news (and their Telegram is... at times interesting).

I'm still not all convinced about Juventus, I know they have a good streak going on but they've only just been scraping by with these wins, and playing against Udinese will be a tough task, I don't think the game will produce more 2 goals, I would have gone for Under 2.5 for my bet.
Juve is back to what gave them all those titles and why heaps of football fans can't stand them. They don't play particularly well but they keep 0:0 until minute 80 or even later and then score one goal. I actually watched them last time and today and I am picking 1:0 for Juve from now on whenever it seems like possible results. Can't believe I am actually the only one with exact score for this match. It was the only score prediction in the whole game week that I was confident to make.

So it appears. I thought that late streak wouldn't happen and thought they were good for a HT lead at best, but it does seem like Old Lady is back. Will need at least a couple more games like that to convince me though, but well done for you.

Salernitana's the team I can't figure out even though they keep telling me with results I have to start taking them seriously -- seems like only Trofo, casper and handful of others understand them now...
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2022/2023 on: January 08, 2023, 01:01:40 PM
Monaco are ok for me too, they rarely have odds below 15/10 or 2/1 because of their perceived weakness, domestic and EUFA, and as Trofo says they win more than lose, which is great for double winnings.

Never fall for the shit odds on cup game favourites. Copa del rey, league cup, coppa, they are all completely skewed because of bookie margins with obvious heavy bets on favs.

I am one to talk of course, threw away money on Liverpool last night.

Barca has good odds tonight though, it is a very easy bet for me. I know they drew a shocker last time but they should have won that 5-0.

Was there really any significant pressure though? Was on break myself but I did not get any impression that people were selling the sink. Transaction fees were low. Volumes couldn'y have been heavy as price was the usual sideway pattern we've grown accustomed to, no?
2691  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: January 08, 2023, 11:24:12 AM
Man, Saints. I know it is just the FA Cup and they might feel the need to focus on league survival but Palace should be a winnable game anyway, and going far in this competition buys a lot of brownie points with board and fans.
Maybe this win in FA Cup will motivate them to perform better in Premier League, but don't forget that FA Cup has big prestige and value in England as oldest competition.
Many clubs would be more than pleased if they could win FA Cup than playing in some European competitions like Europa League or lower.
I am waiting for Liverpool to win today match against Wolves in first half and I have a winning ticket.

Looks like we both crashed out on the holders. Nunez and Salah got great goals apparently (did not watch) and they progressed but the defence is same old hat. Thought we mighy actually benefit from a VVD breather but it really doesn't inspire confidence and as a result Alisson is probably feeling less secure.

Saints win nice but they need to string a few wins together to get more breathing room. Live to fight another day, though.
2692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are there truly crypto whales and what are your takes on them? on: January 08, 2023, 10:41:38 AM
I love all these stories of friends and brothers and colleagues getting scammed for thousands of dollars and/or parting way with thousands. All this within a network of people willing to change their name for a fistful of satoshi.

If these stories were true, then truly we are surrounded by people who are wealthy enough not to use Bitcoin properly.
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: January 07, 2023, 07:06:53 PM
Just read the Australian Open promo, still a lot of time to make bets on it. Right now Rafael Nadal is only 7.5, I would think he should be at least above 10x, how is it Felix and Nick are below him as favorites? Even 2 years ago yes, but after all his injuries, for him to get even into the semifinals would be outrageous at his age.

Anyway, I'll wait for 8x or more to take this bet Smiley

Have to say I agree with you about odds value anyway.

Sometimes it does feel absurd in sports to write someone off just because they're "old" and has injuries to contend with... it's just the seriousness of his most recent one (remember Nick had the nice walkover just because of that, and that kind of tear you know is touch and go).

Yes, he won last AO, yes, the media is whipping him up to frenzy as top seed but that's only because Alcaraz is out...

So when I got him at 12/1, that was to me, enough value to look at but at odds below 8/1 now, it's not really. However, this outright promo only needs him to win 3 times to get more than your money back so I'd take him now anyway =)

Wait any longer and the odds won't improve I think...
2694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 07, 2023, 06:03:20 PM
Yes I know FA Cup but all Prem league ties still count, no?

Nice to see Saints go through and JWP getting back some of his lost goalscoring form. Hoping Brentford go through but Hammers will likely snatch this is it goes to pens.

Wolves are also 14/1 against Liverpool today and I think that's a gross underestimation of the away team -- who face Kelleher in goal, and almost surely a second-string team featuring Milner and no VVD... I still put in some change on Liverpool ML, but only because I support them and for no other reason. 13/10 on a weak team would never be my pick for a regular team...

Shock or not? Bournemouth no, because Burnley is #1 in Championship league and Bournemouth #16 in Premier League. Blackpool big shock yes, only won 6/26 games in this season!

Yeah cup games are nice when you see "lopsided" games like these, that actually aren't that much of a difference in quality as you point out: 5 positions apart but in different leagues, definitely some value over there. You should check out Championship thread if you follow these teams -- I still feel like there's enough quality there and it gives you some clues over next season transfers as EPL has a habit of buying top strikers from there (if they don't promote first).

Gotta hand it to myself.

Still could not manage to reach home on time (RIP my weekend) to properly look at bets, but used Telegram on another phone and managed to sneak in a live bet on Real... and then of course they let in a goal right after HT. Benzema penalty this time couldn't spark their comeback and they lost -- probably deservedly.

Barcelona given a lifeline once more, back to you, Xavi.

Not quite sure the Tweet says what exactly happened and I am pretty sure, if it did, it was because of some kind of user agreement all clients signed up to. Cannot blame them as I accept plenty of ToS myself just to user services, but must say am much more careful when it comes to money.

In any case, that is not so much an example of not your keys but no keys, no access. Applies to almost every centralised service, really.

∆ Inter and Fiorentina yes, Juve I would go for a half time win, just don't trust them to defend any lead they get right now. But yeah, if I get home in time today, I would add all those on an acca for sure.

Also good for SB too, so hoping for a turnaround soon.

Already a goal down, while rest of the ties still scoreless.
2699  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin What is the probability of 60 K+ again? on: January 07, 2023, 12:33:13 PM
Most of those who want to see the price of 60,000 are those who invested in the year 2021, when the price was close to the levels of 40,000 to 60,000, and they expected that the price would go to a hundred thousand, and thus the easy profits without effort.

I do not think that we will see these prices soon, so if you are one of those who bought at that price, it is better to consider that the value of your investment is zero, and then wait about 5 years to years, and then you will be sure that you will see those prices.

Yeah, was not a buyer in that period but even having been in since 2016, admit I myself was certain we would see at least 100k, which would "only" have been five times the 2017 ATH. Seemed a conservative estimate to me, but apparently 200% was the best

The funny thing is that now we are all lowering expectations, the next high could take us by surprise. Hope that is the case but not putting my house on it.
