For me now in this pool first place is really far away and i think after this awful round and a pretty unlucky one for me i dont stand a chance of getting that first place if something insane dosent happen. Even that 5th place is too far away now aswell. I can just hope to stay at top 10 until the pool ends honestly Sad
i think you're still in the race for the top spots, you just need a yellow cap (or at least a lot of correct scores) and hope that the others miss a few correct scores, the latter is difficult but not impossible

btw, I believe this is the closest premier league pool we've had so far (?) three and a half rounds left and the 1st place race is still wide open, nail-biting end of the season!

anyway, i'm gonna go celebrate Real madrid's league title! Grin cheers and good luck guys 💪
You got the yellow cap for this weeks pool play just by the looks of the top few on the leaderboard and the scoreline(s) they picked.
Those correct scores do really make the different as from I understand those give you the slam points which determines the winners if it is so close like it is for this week.

This year does seem too close to call who will win it. Because those being in the top 10 will have a shot at first place in the pool with Manchester city having four matches left in their season so Liverpool is the only one who has a shot at first place in the league.

Nobody says he is a crypto expert. Far from it!
But he does know future technology and definitely knows how to utilize it in ways that many can not accomplish in their life times.
As @Welsh has mentioned in their posts:
He knows how to think outside the box and it allows him to advance whatever companies he leads towards their goals at an accelerated rate.

Now if he can just do this for cryptocurrenies we would be at $100k per BTC by now!

No, I'm watching it in the city game, but it seems a complete surprise to me that Wolverhampton lose by 3 goals at home against Brighton.
I did not see the liverpool game but although it ended 1 - 0 I see that Liverpool dominated the entire game and the figure of Newcastle was their goalkeeper.

The city-leeds can be a 5-3 like a 5-0
Fairly close in the score. It ended 4-0 without any hesitation from city in this match. They just kept putting them in the back of the net without any opposition from the Leeds keeper.
Had 5-1 and gave Leeds the benefit of the doubt to put atleast one in and it came close near the end of the match. But Ederson was just too good today.

Looks like Norwich has accepted they will get relegated from the way the bottom of the table is now with Watford needing to win their next 4 games to stay in the premier league for next season. But the announcers of the match were saying Norwich will be playing the champions league and will be keeping their current manager on the trip back to that league next season.
So it sounds like a done deal.

Wasn't that just an unbelievable lost in the two matches that ended with the two away sides scoring twice in a row while the two home sides were leading 1-0 at half time?
Too see Crystal palace scoring the two with Zaha just coming on was a shock but to see Watford losing the way they did was even more devastating way to lose giving up two goals just minutes apart with 10 minutes left of the match.
Heartbreaking ways to lose in both these matches.

He is not only an influencer, not only one of the richest people in the world. He is still a businessman that will think about money that he can agin.
And tweeting about Bitcoin and maybe another cryptocurrency, he always knows that what he tweets always attract the world's attention. That is why it may be one of the strategies to make Bitcoin more accepted in the world, or for pumping the price and otehrs? ANd the last or end result is about ganing more profits and money.
He officially is the richest man in the world with this acquisition of yet another fully developed company to add to his collect of successful ones.
I think SpaceX has a more broader reach than Bezos and Branson's and Tesla is also a household name when it comes to electric cars.
He also has implemented payments via Doge coin for subscriptions to the Twitter Blue service which authenticates users automatically and gives them added features on the platform.

Also covered on Yahoo! News for anyone who would rather avoid that other site.

It's a nice gesture.  I'd assume the funds raised from sales of seized goods would normally go into public services for that nation, but Finland already has a fairly high standard of living when compared to some other places in Europe.  Guess they don't need the extra money right now.
With these donations you wouldn't think either countries need the help.
Finland and Sweden have just said today they are going to be joining the war efforts for Ukraine now even without needing membership with nato.

Thanks @delfastTions for the post about how Miami is the most crypto-friendly city in the states since they had hosted the bitcoin conference there a couple of weeks ago and the mayor also put up a statue to commemorate the occasion shown here:

Didn't know about the Mercedes partnership with FTX giving those kind of NFTs so it makes it alot more interesting the way they are distributing them for sure.

Chelsea's attackers were terrible, and Manchester United's defense is very easy to break down, but De Gea is a difficult goalkeeper to beat; he made some incredible saves today. After about 17 appearances, Ronaldo scored his first EPL goal against Chelsea

The lack of a clinical finisher is the only reason we shared a point tonight; we should have led at least 4-0 in games like this; we dominated the entire game; the only reason Manchester City and Liverpool are ahead of us is that they both have good finishers, whereas we rely on defenders to win games. I can't wait for the new owner to join the team and support the coach this summer. Next season, we must close the gap between Liverpool and Manchester City.
I don't know exactly with this result, is MU's defense is very good or attacker Chelsea is bad?, when I look at the statistic, the ball position is leaning toward to Chelsea, MU uses a counter-attack strategy and tend to survive maybe because they have weakness on front and can not confrontation with Chelsea defender. The midfielder also has difficulty supplying the ball to the forward, so if this keeps happening, we can't see new coach Tan Hag in the next champions league.
A unbelievable statistic when I heard that CR7 hadn't scored against Chelsea before. I am guessing that is in all competition since he was at Juventus for several years.
Even more so was that in the previous four encounters with Manchester United they all ended in a draw.
This should of been an easy prediction to make if you placed a wager on the match.

I liked how you put kidnapped for the user base on twitter.
They can suspend or just stop using the platform if they want.
And many have in a way to protest the change of ownership.
Don't think it will matter because with the news coming out of it they have added 30 million new users.
Whether those be authentic actual real users, that would need to be decided when Musk's implementations actually do take effect.

If he ends up spending around 50 billion dollars just for twitter, would that be one of the highest bids for a social media company ever? I mean there are companies that worth more, namely facebook (meta) owns instagram and whatsapp as well, but never bought them for that high, they are just owned by the founder mark as well so even though it is valued higher, I do not remember an acquisition this big before.

To be fair, I do not remember many 50 billion dollar purchases of anything that easily, that is like a nation level purchase and not a person level one. Would be weird to see, I have zero idea if it will be better or worse, he is unpredictable that way.
He didn't spend it all for this acquisition from his own pocket but took out two huge loans given out by a couple of Canadian banks and actually sold one for one tesla shares he held so to be able to put in such a bid for the company.
Think I heard it is 20% of his worth to put up the funds so to buy them out.
What is he doing right now?
Saying things such as: "I am thinking about buying more American companies .."

IMO Elon Musk is playing with crypto, at least from curiosity. I cannot imagine an innovative man like him not to have any coins, minimum to play with. But I don't expect any big public crypto move anytime soon.
people should not be believing what Elon tweet on his handle. The news of Elon have master some people from age's. I observe when people retweet Elon tweet on Twitter it makes it side news of cryptocurrency to bump. His news does not whelmed my attention again. From when i know Elon by cryptocurrency.it never recommend bitcoin and it always comment bad of bitcoin so why will i take it information serious when i know that nothing good comes out from it information of cryptocurrency
In the past, then his tweets do really make out some impact but for now then it is mostly ignored since we know on how things do end up on that manipulative kind of behavior which is something that the community
isnt really that a fan of.

We could really compare out the current situation compared into the past which there's a significant reaction whenever this guy do make out some words
but people are getting smarter as years going.
But everyone is waiting for his next move in clearing up the platform from bots and any manipulative behavior that goes along with those accounts.
The way it is sounding there will be some new way of verification and have a new and improved checkmark system or just scrap that all together and just go crypto-payments to validate real accounts from the spam bots.

Thanks for the update on the driver's points on the current leaderboard.

^I'd put Hamilton in for a surprise win one of these coming races, could be worth the odds actually.

Yeah, good thing you didn't listen to anyone's advice on your picks because you got first on the leaderboard for the Italian grand prix.
Nice one!
I don't know much about Alpha Tauri except the drivers but nothing on their performance as I never put them on my top 15 spots.

Indeed, it's a nice feeling to be benefactor of dumb luck / beginner's luck. Almost more satisfying that getting picks right for sports you're supposed to know shit about!

Tauri's just very appealing for me because of Tsunoda -- actually saw a series on him last year or year before? Aggressive little guy (literally even) but absolutely looking like he's in it for fun. And I'm kind of waiting for Gasly to avenge his RB demotion.

You could say I don't know much about the sport but I don't mind following the personalities (different rather from football where it's a team thing).
Having both Ferrari's not finishing the race in Italy really set them back, but not by much with a quick headstart for the first couple of races.
It will be different for the race in the Miami grand prix with a whole new track.

Mister Musk received what he wanted to in the first place and it wasn't entirely the ownership over twitter.
It was..
The Publicity that followed.
It was a win-win by all accounts in his favor with this take over of the company.
Jack Dorsey came out and posted on his former media platform that he "was happy" & even "endorsed" that Elon has complete control of his creation.
What follows now is anybodies guess.
But with the most recent leaked audio of an earlier board meeting, it doesn't seem to be the same sediment going around the company left in Musk's wake.

Depending on your recent gameplay and where you made your wager. If you mostly play slots expect higher bonuses/reloads due to higher house edge, for originals it will be less for the same amount of wager.
Btw, $6 reload daily is way less than expected for plat4. Why don't you ask Vip Host?
I remember when I reached platinum 1 my reload bonus was $5 so for platinum 4 now is $6? is this the impact of the last VIP update  Huh
As I see the difference between Plat1 vs Plat2 is 7 days for Plat1 and 28 days for Plat2 right? then what is the difference between Plat3 vs Plat4?
It should be the VIP Host who understands about this weird if he doesn't use it while some people expect to have a VIP host.
Those reload amounts do seem low for reaching such high ranks in their vip program. The vip level update must of lowered them to these amounts for a reason.
You ask about the difference between the different ranks for these reloads distribution times?
There was something on their chat regarding this towards platinum 4 rank and they mentioned they got permanent reloads.
Which is correct as I had asked the owner Eddie about this and he confirmed but they would need to keep the amounts wagered consistent for the next 3 months for those to continue being permanent.

With all the talk being focused on the take over of twitter by Musk today here are some points to what could come and one related to a cryptocurrency:

This was accepted by all board members so no hard feelings from those involved with the buyout.
But there are some who have opposed showing hashtag #leavingtwitter with some offbeats memes.

They will be in the Intel Extreme 2022 tournament in Dallas to try and secure a major title later next month.
Being ranked #29 is a very impressive result for the short amount of time in the league.

Well this method seemed to have worked for him so far.
He has gone ahead and bought twitter at a lower price than his initiate bid of $46.5bn at $44bn instead.
I think they said he managed to pay off the shareholders @$54.20 per share which to him was a steal for now he has a playground for saying and doing whatever he wants.
