So many interesting things happened today. In hockey tournament Denmark wn against Latvia 3:2 after very good fight, Slovakia unexpected easy - 4:0 beat recent vice-champions Germany. Switzerland win against Czech Republic is another surprise. While Canada had easy life against China. Though, scoring 2 goals for China is good achievement. 1/4 finals already tomorrow - it's USA - Slovakia, Russia - Denmark, Finland - Switzerland and Sweden - Canada which is most interesting pair. Jarl Magnus Riiber threw away golden medal in Nordic combined by simply going wrong way: https://www.eurosport.com/nordic-combined/beijing-2022/2022/he-s-missed-shock-as-jarl-magnus-riiber-goes-wrong-way-to-throw-away-gold-at-beijing-winter-olympics_vid1633865/video.shtmlEduard Latypov in biathlon relay had almost 1 minute lead before last shooting, but then he missed 5 (!!!) times and earned 2 penalty laps. Russian team finished just 3rd aftert that when they already had gold in their hands. Another gold by Norway, silver goes to France. Kamila Valieva won gold in short program, despite doping scandal. In men bobsleigh all 3 medals were taken by athletes from Germany. How unexpected  . in women ski slopestyle Kelly Sildaru of Estonia took home bronze, first medal for her country in this Olympics. Mathilde Gremaud from Switzerland won gold. |

After all, thanks to Mbappe goal, This game had logical outcome. PSG pushed really hard and deserved to score, while Real just tried to save 0:0 result and try to decide everything at home. And don't know how about others, but when I saw Messi going to make penalty, I had feeling that he will miss it and I was quite confident about. Mbappe had to make it, especially because he earned that penalty.
Sporting 0:5 City. Usually you don't expect such big wins in UCL playoffs. City were big favorites, but I didn't expected 5 goals. Congrats City for reaching next round.

This forum is starting to lose credibility. My posts were also suddenly deleted, while the quality was just good. What complete nonsense. The only reason my posts have been removed is because I'm participating in the 1xbit campaign. The mods of the forum are breaking their own rules!
C'mon, can you show few examples of your deleted posts? I want to see your ''high quality'' posts because I don't believe that mods would delete posts just because you're in specific campaign. You just trying to look like a victim. It's easy to click the "ignore" button.
It's easy to click ignore button, but it's not solution. If you see shity posts, better report it. And it doesn't matter whether it was made by 1xbit participant or someone else. As someone who is active in the gambling boards and have a few threads there that I maintain, I can safely say that the worst kind of posts I see are those made by 1xBit participants. It's not just the fact that some of them can't write a single grammatically correct sentence, but some posts literally make no sense. And 9 out of 10 times when I come across those, there is a 1xBit signature underneath. It's hard for me to say if all of them are serial spammers, but the majority is.
Agree about their posts in gambling board. Often it's visible that they simply have no idea what about they're talking and they post there to reach their post quota in gambling boards. |

Today there was first 2 heats of men bobsleigh. In 1st and 2nd places Germany already hgave solid lead. But finally we saw Jamaica bobsleigh team. They reached finish, but just after 2 heats they're already 4.20 seconds behind leaders. On the other hand, they're just 0.11 seconds behind another exotic country - Brazil, so they have chance not to finish last. Tomorrow hockey playoffs will begin, we have Latvia - Denmark, Slovakia - Germany, Czech Republic - Switzerland and China - Canada. Slovakia - Germany looks msot difficult to predict, other pairs have obvious favorites. Also, there is biathlon relay event for men and nordic combined competition. Kaillie Humphries won the first-ever gold at the Olympics in the monobob.
Interesting stuff about her - until 2020 she represented Canada and won several medals, including gold. But now she is citizen of USA and now successfully represents her new country. What is interesting, that unlike luge, skeleton or most of bobsleigh events where Germany dominate, in women monobob USA and Canada were best. |

Even without looking deep into Alpha Tauri car, it looks obvious that's just demo car. If we talk just about livery, previous season it looked better for me. Aston Martin looks closest to car which we will see on track. What I noticed is shape of their front wing, it looks interesting and it's quite high. F1 news.
For the following year, we will have 3 sprint races and they will be Imola Austria and Brazil.
We will also have some changes, points will be assigned to the top 8 and not only to the top 3, and who will make the pole position for the statistical purpose will be given on Friday and not to the winner of the sprint race.
Interesting news about sprint. Seems that sprint racewill have more importance. Also, F1 changed point rules after last year disaster in Spa. Now at least 2 laps of distance is needed to get points. And different amount of points will be given, according to distance, whether it's 25%-50% or 50%-75% of distance. To get full points, at least 75% of distance is needed. BTW, Look what Mercedes posted on Twitter. I think it leaves no questions https://twitter.com/MercedesAMGF1/status/1493228445962321924 |

What a drama in biathlon women chasing race. Marte Olsbu won it by very solid margin - 1.36 minute. Elvira Oeberg was second, but main drama was about 3rd place - Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was 3rd with 500m remaining, but then she felt very bad and somehow finished almost walking in 15th place. After race she was helped by doctors. While 3rd place was taken by her teammate from Norway Tiril Eckhoff.
In men race conditions were difficult - snow and strong wind. Johannes Boe had solid lead, but after all he missed 5 shots and finished 5th. His brother Tarjei was 2nd. Race winner is Quentin Fillon Maillet from France, Eduard Latypov - 3rd.
What a comeback by Finland hockey team. They were losing against Sweden 3:0 after 45 minutes, but they made amazing comeback, sent game to overtime and won game.
They finished 1st in group, while Sweden advanced directly to 1/4 final as best 2nd team.

Yesterday's Atletico - Getafe game was incredible. Atletico defense recently is awful, but still, it was difficultto expect such result. Recent Real results - few months ago I said that's not possible to play stable all season long and some bad period had to come sooner or later. But seems that Sevilla don't want to use gifts from Real . not so sure about Barca, I know that it is far from real city derby, but with Barca in shaken form, Espanyol is certainly motivated to get something from this one, will be interesting for sure, odds are good, nevertheless
After all, it was real city derby. Mixed feelings about draw, maybe it's not worst what could happen, but I expected more. Can someone explain me what Garcia was doing when de Tomas scored? Justterrible game for him. And it's sad to see that such experienced player still react to provocations - cheap red card. It was a bit unexpected to see Dembele on the pitch. And Luuk De Jong, it's popular to mock him, but so far he is doing exactly what we needed from him. |

Your guess is right. The match was drawn 2-2. But I would say it was a horrible match. We saw 5 red cards in this match. Both teams were very aggressive. Porto committed 18 fouls and Sporting 13 fouls. And referee showed to 3 of Sporting's, 2 of Porto's players' red cards. However, Porto is still 6 points ahead of the points table.
Wouldn't say that it was horrible match. Opposite, I would say that it was great derby. Fight, drama, something that I wanted to see. It's difficult to expect to see nice football in such games. Game ended 2:2, but Porto should be happy about result. They made comeback from losing 2:0 and didn't let Sporting to get closer in the table. And you have to see what happened after game. 3 of 4 red cards were shown after final whistle and everything were close to turn into MMA fight without rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQbV8cVZIcQHow surprising, one of red cards was given to Pepe  . And managers of both teams also was there - seems tht they're hot guys, especially Porto coach. |

Another succesful biathlon race for Norway. Johannes Boe won sprint race. Despite that he missed one shot, at one point he had over 40 seconds advantage against others and he won confident. His brotherTarjei Boe won bronze. Quentin Fillon Maillet from France won silver. Interesting that there was very few biathletes who missed 0 shots, but they were slow on track and weren't able to fight for good places. Tmorrow there will be chasing race with 60 fastest athletes. What a game between Russia and Czech Republic hockey teams. Game ended with Czech win 5:4 after oovertime. And it was meaningless game for both teams! 4th Czech goal was amazing - it was scored from 0° angle, though, it was quite big mistake by goalkeeper. In other game Denmark made another surprise and beat Switzerland. Don't know how many of you watched Large Hill ski jumping, but I was amazed about one athlete - Simon Ammann from Switzerland - it was 7th Olympic games fro him. Amazing. I don’t understand why there are always some claims against Russian athletes, then these are some continuations of doping scandals, then this is a ban on performing under the national flag.
In general, the Olympic movement has turned into some kind of political rather than sports struggle. And this is very upsetting, I want to watch fair competitions, and not these asshole showdowns.
Olympics always were more or less political, just remember 1936, 1976, 1980 or 1984 games. Some people say that poltics and sports shouldn't be mixed, but poltics always been big part of sports. And IMO, if in place of Russia there would be some small country, they would be banned without any questions. |

In hockey tournament Russia achieved another difficult win, this time they beat Denmark 2:0 and they directly qualified to 1/4 final. Tomorrow very early in morning Canada and USA will play - one of main games of hockey tournament, Canada are considered as quite obvious favorites. Germany dominate in skeleton, same like luge - gold and silver in women competition and surprisingly China took bronze. Also, tomorrow we will have men 10 km biathlong sprint, men medal events in skeleton and snowboard cross of mixed teams. I think it's not about age, but about the fact that the decision regarding the individual athlete can affect the result of the team competition.
As for the punishment, I read about similar cases, and for those who got caught for the first time, the most severe was 2 years, and the usual punishment was several months of disqualification.
I'm not very familiar with figure skating, but in other sports team competitions like relay in swimming or athletics, if one athlete get caught with doping, whole team get disqualified and they lose medals. While this story looks unclear and one of reasons why is that doping regulations for athletes under 16 years is a bit different. Also, doping test was taken few month before Olympics, so, it's strange why it took so long to get results of it. |

I haven't checked all 1xbit participants and quality of their posts, but I'm not against your suggestion. It's true that you probably wont find high quality posters in 1xbit campaign, but maybe not everyone is bad enough to get signature ban. IMO, this question should be solved case by case and not simply disabling signatures for all participants. For me 1xbit content doesn't look as bad as Yobit/Cryptotalk campaign. Or maybe I got wrong impression because number of participants is significantly smaller and their content isn't that visible. Now let the man do the talking, not some merit hunting GaystarGaystar. Seriously? I thought that only 12 year old kids are doing such things. When you have lack of arguments, ad hominen begins... |

Is this true? Are we going to see something totally different? I assume that you mean like what is inside and that would be understandable, obviously they are going to change the inside, they are going to have everything perfect, and I assume that they will adjust the wings and so forth on few inches, but I also assumed that this would basically what it would look like.
Tiny small changes that we wouldn't even realize if we didn't look closely is acceptable, but like... colour would be same right? Like this is their colour this year? The logos and all would be in these places and all that? I do not know if the change would be too different if that's the case.
Yes, it's true. Yesterday I posted link to article where Horner said that there will be many changes made. You can read about it more here: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-f1-rb18-show-car/8027907/Things like color, logos, placement of sponsors won't change. From what I understood, only Aston Martin already revealed their real car: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-aston-martin-reveal-2022-car-with-revised-livery.34DZACb63lmdQdguSdl8YF.html |

Porto are the most consistent team in the Primeira League this season. The main contenders for the title are Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Sporting and Benfica have already lost a lot of points. But Porto is maintaining their continuity. They have not lost a single match yet. The most favorite team to win the title so far is Porto.
Agree that Porto looks most considtent, but I still wouldn't write-off Sporting. Tomorrow's game between Porto and Sporting could be decisive. If Porto will win, 9 point lead with 13 rounds remaining, it will be almost impossible to reach them in league like Primeira, where teams outside Top 3 is barely able to fight with leaders. Well, maybe only Braga can sometimes. But if Sporting will win or game will end draw, everything is still possible. Anyway, my money is on Porto. |

Not most interesting day in hockey. Favorites achieved easy wins, only Sweden had difficulties with Latvia. Congratulations to Latvia for winning first medal - bronze in luge. Germany continue to dominate, another Gold, Austria took silver. BTW, mixed relay in luge is fun thing to watch. It is rather strange that there is still no final court decision regarding the medals and punishment of Valieva. Given that this is her first sin, she will most likely get off with a disqualification for several months. As for the distribution of medals, in my opinion, the longer the decision is delayed, the more difficult it will be to change the results later. It looks like the US will stay with silver  Yeah, this story looks isn't easy to make decision because Valieva is younger than 16 years and rules is a bit different for them. Is there some sort of running involved in these Winter Olympics? One of my coworkers was telling me that they turned on the TV the other day and there was some sort of race, but I’ve always been under the impression that that’s all summer Olympics stuff ? Anyways on a side note hard for me to support these games in any way being that China is hosting.
Your friend probably confused something. There is no running events in Winter Games. Events which is most close to running is skating and skiing. |

I think that all people are aware that smoking is harmful, but they still smoke despite it. And probably nothing can be done to change, it's personal choice of everyone. I'm not sure that many people die young because of smoking. It doesn't happen often, usually people start to feel negative impact of smoking at elderly age. Cigarette addiction is one of the biggest problems in young society. And from this smoking, they gradually became drug-addicted.
The situation is so bad now that even 12/13-year-olds children are getting addicted to smoking.
According to a survey, near about 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced each year.
Our young society is addicted to cigarettes thinking smartness, does not understand the consequences of cigarettes.
Cigarette is a slow poison. It kills slowly. Smokers don't realize how much they are hurting them by looking for a little pleasure. The nicotine in its smoke also harms people around smokers. Unbeknownst to them, they are harming everyone, including themselves.
Are you sure about that situation is so bad now? Kids got addicted to smoking at young age 10, 20 or even 30 years ago. But now I think that situation is changing. Now more kids is getting addicted to vaping, instead of cigarettes. Now I barely can see kids with cigarette in their mouth, but I see vaping kids at every corner. They prefer it because it had so many tastes and don't smells that bad. It's also popular to think that vapes is less harmful than cigarettes. I have seen intelligent smokers anyways, but I haven't seen any that smoked cigarettes till their 80's and 90's.
I saw quite many smoking at such age. My grandpa was close to 90 years, had lung cancer and wasn't able to walk in last months of his life, but despite it he still asked me to buy pack of cigarettes. |

As much as I hate 1xbit, I don't agree with your proposal. If scams aren't moderated here, why we should ban 1xbit? It would be double standarts and people would start asking why other scams aren't banned.
But it's good point about spamming. I rarely can see good posts made by 1xbit participants. Maybe it's not worst kind of spamming, but they don't contribute much here. Though, I'm not sure that their content is bad enough to ban signatures

Red Bull have revealed their new car (RB18) but I didn't see too much change about its appearance. The livery seemed the same to me but I wasn't waiting for a substantial change either. I'm thinking the same for Mercedes' car too which is going to be revealed one or two weeks later. But maybe we could see some changes for Ferrari. Because they have made people quite hyped about their next season. And maybe they can make some changes in the look of their car too. I'm looking forward to seeing their performance especially.
If you look at comparison with previous season car, changes isn't significant, but it's visible: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLKzPi1XsAAmYSK?format=jpg&name=largeIt was difficult to expect big changes from Red Bull. An as said by Horner, this is not how exactly car will look in tests or season. There will be many changes made: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.horner-admits-rb18-wont-look-very-much-like-launch-car-as-red-bull-prepare.6MJiaUFkHyPBoNQcrsoflm.htmlBTW, If we talk about livery, Mercedes is going to return their silver color. |

Big scandal in Olympic games. Russian figure skating sensation 15 year old Kamila Valieva got positive doping test which was given prior game: https://www.givemesport.com/87970909-winter-olympics-figure-skater-kamila-valieva-is-centre-of-russian-anti-doping-test-investigationIf it's true, she won't be punished very strictly because she is younger than 16 years. But she will be banned from further competitions and Russia will lose medals in team competition.
Start of hockey tournament was interesting. Russia struggled against Switzerland and won just 1:0. Olympic games debutants Denmark surprising beat Czech Republic 2:1
It is interesting to note how the medals are mostly being won by European countries. Neither the United States and Canada have managed to enter the top 10. And only China and the Russian altetas manage to be in the midst of so many European countries.
Perhaps this shows that these sports are for athletes with more money, making countries with fewer resources, able to present more competitive athletes.
I think we should count Russia as European country too. It's nothing surprising that European countries dominate. They have best infrastructure, suitable weather for winter sports and not that much problems with money. Also, winter sports in other continents isn't that popular, so less people participate in such competition. Though, for USA and Canada these Olympic games is big disappointment so far. |

I wonder if we can withdraw btc from an account to another account's deposit address without any issues  What do you mean by that? Are you saying that you wanna withdraw btc from one freebitcoin account to another freebitcoin account ? Because if that’s the case then I’m pretty sure you are doing illegal approach here. You are not allowed to make more than one account, if you do so and found out then surely mods will disable both the exposed accounts. So anyone would care less to answer you in this regards. I think it's not forbidden to have more than one account. It's ok, as long as you don't abuse website, like claiming from faucet multiple times, refer yourself and so on. Though, I can't confirm whether it's allowed to withdraw funds to deposit address of other Freebitco.in account. |
