Rugby League Australia
4.837 mBTC = nice! the draws are way to unpredictable though to
be going with a parlay, maybe possible in some future rounds
depending on the match ups.
I'm going conservative on round 12 of the NRL again

This coming Saturday the 28th is set for the European Champions Cup
final between Leinster and La Rochelle.
Leinster are big favourites with the bookies, on Rollbit the odds are
Leinster 1.18 to 5.2 La Rochelle.
La Rochelle are realy the up and coming team in France and are managed
by Ronan O'Gara, Irelands all-time highest points scorer and played at #10.
Leinster will really be looking to win this and secure a home final for next year.
I'm going with a Leinster win and a bet on now with Rollbit $2 @1.18, if the
odds are more favourable during the week I will add a second one.

Players are now talking about skipping Wimbledon, Norrie has said he thinks a lot of top names will skip it, Osaka has said she personally might skip it. Both mentioned that without ranking points, it's basically an exhibition tournament.
I have to say I'm a bit surprised at first, but thinking about it this does make perfect sense. Players have a long and tiring season, now they've been given the chance of a free mid-season break with no points to worry about... time to freshen up and get ready for the hard court season.
Absolutely, a welcome break from a busy season and if those big names pull out lesser "ranked" players will see it as a chance to boost their bank accounts as they have a chance to go further in the tournament and be the unlikely winner of such a prestigious event! |

Unfortunately, some of us feel upset about what he has done. Because now it's worth way a lot. But, Laszlo never regrets it. Such a Legend.
Please read the full thread, particularly Lucius' post As others have posted elsewhere Laszlo didnt sell "everything" he had he mined more, it was so easy back then. They were different times. |

It was celebrated over 12 years before and people don’t believe the bitcoin at that time. So the bitcoin was used for the pizza. But my wishes on this was, I would like to see that pizza owner. If I found him, I was dam sure he will billionaire or millionaire for sure. But Incase he had send the bitcoin for the immediate dollars, So that he will not had any bitcoin for now and we had a loss.
Well, people are actually tracking the "Pizza Coins" through Blockchain analysis and they determined that someone bought a house with some of those bitcoins that was linked to the Laszlo coins. They reckon a lot of the transactions that we are doing now, still contains satoshis that were part of the original 10 000 bitcoins that Laszlo used to pay for the two pizzas.  There you go, some of the Satoshi's are still in circulation. As well as Laszlo's historical and important transaction back in 2010 he and all the other miners involved in the "early days" deserve a big slice of recognition, without them Bitcoins future might not have looked so bright I decided yesterday to do some Art as it was such a rainy day but I got interrupted to go get Pizza and didnt get it finished!   |

Seeing Alcaraz having an easy 3 set game winner against Londero.
And it's interesting that Djokovic, Nadal and Alcaraz are on the same bracket in this tournament. And another thing is that Alcaraz is getting more media exposure that Djokovic and Nadal combine. Hopefully though, Alcaraz will not succumb to this big pressure grand slams and hopefully he can win one.
It's because he is the new face of tennis and even compare to Rafa when he was young. So obviously there will be a lot of media given to this kid in one of the biggest tournament early this year. And I agree on @Rabi3, it will be a big test for Alcaraz, five setter is very different obviously. I know he is mentally tough, but at his age, he needs maturity and just can't slip even in just a set otherwise his opponent are going to take advantage of that. And you learn that experience as you go along. Yea the 5 set match is a big factor, most recent example is Felix AA's game with Varillas yesterday, Varillas played Felix off the court in the first two games 2-6, 2-6 but after Felix broke him early in the third set it was only going one way and it was time to get an in play bet on! Tennis is about Skill, Fitness, mental ability and experience and more so in the GS's I think Alcaraz will do fine! |

I think a lot of people have that way of thinking. Michael Saylor said before that he used
to go to bed at night worrying that he didnt have enough Bitcoin!
DCA is just that, it can happen over a long period of time with whatever finds you allocate,
There are many people who would love to put $50 per week into Bitcoin.
The priority is keeping a roof over you and your family's head and making sure bills are paid
and food on the table. Bitcoin after that is the next important thing.

Got a call from my Bitcoin buddy today to say I was being picked up for a drive to get Pizza's. Bitcoin was used sold for FIAT indirectly to buy 2 Pizzas with extra cheese. I wasnt planning on having a real Pizza today, I was working on an Pizza day art project which still isnt finished but still happy to have Pizza and chat about Laszlo and Bitcoin.  |

People have such a strange mindset that you can only own Bitcoin once, and once you sell your precious bitcoin, you will never own it, because it's just impossible, right? Laszlo still owns enough coins to be a millionaire, maybe even multi-millionaire. No one knows if he bought back the coins he spent on pizza. Same goes for people who sell in a bear market - not every single one of them is panicking and quitting Bitcoin for good, some just accumulate more Bitcoin by waiting for lower prices.
Thats the thing so many people miss that point. They automatically think Laszlo bought Pizzas with all his Bitcoin and that was it, he was never able to buy back the Bitcoin. Bitcoiners today sell Bitcoin to buy stuff, they buy it back again, we dont 5 years later think that item cost x times more because of the current market value. As everyone above Bitcoin has to move, change hands and be used. |

in my area there are no shops/restaurants that accept bitcoin as direct payment. but that's not a problem for me. because today I have sold a little bit of my bitcoin and and then exchanged it for money. and will buy food such as pizza and the like for small parties with the family. and of course I will slip education about bitcoin to the family on this bitcoin pizza day. because my family has started to be interested in bitcoin. this is happiness when one family together holding bitcoin  Thats is a great idea! There is a wide open opportunity for anyone to subtly introduce Bitcoin to family, friends and neighbours while enjoying tasty food. With the endorphins flowing from the tasty Pizza the magical story of Bitcoin and what Laszlo acheived. |

Not sure what happened yesterday, but I didn't place bbets on the last two matches of the round. The Raiders won against the Rabbitohs (32 - 12) whose slump has continued this week while the Sharks ate the Titans. (25 - 18).
Yea I'm glad I didnt back them this round, way too unpredictable. What the hell happened to Storm? The Cowboys themselves brought the storm, I mean it wasnt even close 36-6. Thats a great run of form now by the Cowboys with 6 wins in succession. My two bets returned 1 win and 1 loss and my estimation that both games would be close affairs didnt materialise.
I have smaller micro bets on for round 11, just two though with Nitrogensports
Sydney Roosters v Penrith Panthers - ML Penrith Panthers @1.28 - Amount taken 0.08
mBTC - Possible Payout 0.102 mBTC
North Queensland Cowboys v Melbourne Storm - ML Melbourne Storm @1.45 - Taken Amount 0.08 mBTC - Possible Payout 0.116 mBTC
I think they are going to be close games, I'm not too confident on those bets actually.
Rugby Union
The last round of the United Rugby Championship before the Quarter Finals. The southern
hemisphere South African teams are visiting the north. I have bets on two of them facing
two Welsh teams.
Really small micro bets on these with Rollbit
Dragons v Lions - ML Lions @1.54 - Amount Taken $1.50 - Possible Payout $2.31
Scarlets v Stormers - ML Stormers @1.55 - Amount Taken $1.5 - Possible Payout $2.33[/green]
My two bets on the URC returned two wins, happy enough with that. |

I'm not sure why if the ATP are taking this move this year players lose points from last year,
my brain doesnt compute that?
It has nothing to do with the decision. Player's always loose points exactly 1 year after getting them. Proper way to say it is that players can't defend points from last year and Djoković won last year which is 2000 points less for him. Face/Palm, of course, thanks Trofo.
As for the games, it was still Casper Ruud in the Geneva Open.
Winning in 3 sets against Sousa, 6-7 , 6-4 , 6-7 and retains his Geneva Open title, while C. Norrie wins in Lyon vs Molcan.
Two good wins by Ruud and Norrie, they should go far at Roland Garros with the good form they have shown. There are a lot of matches in R1 today but all eyes will be on Alcaraz v Londero. There are also some other potentially close matches on today which should make for interesting betting. Dimitrov v Giron Fognini v Popyrin Griekspoor v Davidovich Fokina Ramos-Viñolas v Kokkinakis |

What are your plans for bitcoin pizza day this year?
Same as I've been doing for the last 4-5 years, gonna bake my own bitcoin themed pizza. That is, If I have enough time. Worst case scenario is just ordering the pizza, but its not the same thing as making your own. My last two bitcoin themed pizzas   Thats brilliant! I am hoping to have Pizza tomorrow but I'm not sure if its going to happen on a Sunday. I might have to resort to something like this but It will be a bit of improvisation on my part I think. Interesting to see pizza day in a day in the bitcoin bearish phase and the price falling so some newbies were doing panic selling at lower prices while they can hold and all they need to do is to be patient and don't fall into the emotional trap just like happened on the pizza day. The guy who owned this amount of bitcoins and sold bitcoins because he didn't truly leave on it and couldn't hold it, I believe a few years later when the price reached much higher price the people who sold their asset at price will have the same feelings of the guy who traded bitcoins for a pizza.
Laszlo is quoted saying "To be fair, the pizzas were pretty good." Haha, so I think he has no regrets! Also, it is important to note that Lsszlo didn't buy pizzas with bitcoin because he couldn't hold bitcoin or he was afraid, but because he wanted to prove that if you can buy food with bitcoin, its as good as any other money. And he indeed proved that Thats it, its a landmark event more because of this rather than what others think was an exorbitant amount of Bitcoin to pay for Pizza. |

1. At what age did you start learning about bitcoin?
I was in my mid 30's when I first heard about Bitcoin but it took me about 6 years to actually make a start with it so I was in my 40's when I first started learning about Bitcoin.
2. What role did age and prior experience play in helping you learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency?
My older age helped me in regards to a few things, (a.) been working for 25+ years and realising there was no chance of being able to quit or retire early. (b.) having the experience to realise the rat race I was in and how I was tied to and reliant on the FIAT financial system. I could/can see a way to break free eventually from the above with Bitcoin.
3. With your current knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, do wish you started at an earlier age?
Absolutely, I just wish I payed more attention to Bitcoin back in 2013? and being a little bit more inquisitive then. |

Breaking news!!! Wimbledon: ATP Tour strips ranking points from Grand Slam over ban for Russians and Belarusianshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/61401519This is a huge surprise, I thought the ATP would cave in and award full points, but it appears not. Of course this means amongst other things that Djokovic loses his 2,000 points from last year, without being able to defend them, and so is very likely to lose his number one ranking. It remains to be seen what will happen on the women's side, but I'd imagine the WTA would follow suit. It would be very strange if the women got points and the men didn't. For betting purposes it's probably irrelevant, all players will still want to win Wimbledon just as much, even with no points to play for. I think it's a good decision. It would really skew the rankings if say Djokovic could score up to 2,000 points whilst his nearest challenger Medvedev was guaranteed 0 points just because of where he was born. I honestly dont blame ATP for doing this,i blame wimbledon for going with the ban and this totally unfair from them. What if it was the otherway around it would never happen. Only sad thing if this is true is that Djokovic losses those 2000 points that will lose him the first place I am actually glad this happened. Wimbledon always gave itself leave to do whatever they please. For instance that stupid rule that you have to play dressed in all white, including sneakers and soles of sneakers. I would love if couple of major players decided to skip it now that it does not bring points. That would give them something to think about in future. Yes I agree with this move, the reasoning for doing this by the ATP and the statement by the WTA aligns with my view "The stance we are taking is about protecting the equal opportunities that WTA players
should have to compete as individuals, I'm not sure why if the ATP are taking this move this year players lose points from last year, my brain doesnt compute that? As Trofo points out, Wimbledon has this silly rule of players having to adhere to the White dress code, top players play for points and accolades, it would be interesting if some of them skip this event but I'm not sure Djokovic will, the race is still on to collect as many GS's |

Hasnt Michael Saylor been mentioning "Bitcoin backed loans" in some of his interviews? From his view if anyone holding Bitcoin at some point needs funds for anything, lets say house repairs and needs to liquidate an asset and chooses Bitcoin, he maintains you shouldnt sell or liquidate the Bitcoin but instead take a loan backed by Bitcoin. Now MS wouldnt be using YouHodler he would be using a well established, giant banking institution offering that service. The only thing is by doing so you are going against everything Bitcoin was designed for. Trusting someone else with your property. |

I got Sousa +3.5 over against Ivashka at 1.90 and Sousa win in straight sets.
While Gasquet destroys Majchrzak also in 2 sets but i didn't bet on the handicap, but Gasquet easily covered it.
So it will be Ruud vs Opelka on semis and Sousa vs Gasquet on the other side. Not yet put my bet here, will mostly go with the handicap again, but we will see.
Yes Opelka v Ruud would have been a great final match up between two top seeds 4 and 2 respectively. Its impressive in its own right that Ruud carried his form through from Rome so I'll bet on him again. Its quite remarkable to see Gasquet performing so well right before his home tournament! |
