Emma Raducanu has won back to back matches for the first time in a while, in her first proper tournament on clay, and has now reached the quarter final stage, where she will play... Swiatek!
I'm English so of course want Raducanu to win, but it seems hugely improbable, this one looks like it could easily end up with Swiatek winning 6-0 6-0.
If you really think she could win 6-0 and 6-0, it might be worth looking up a bet there. I think you'll be pretty rich if that actually happens. 6-0, 6-0 are results that you rarely see. or you must have placed the number 1 against a qualification for example. But even then, a game is usually won. Or there must be an injury. Nobody losses 6:0 6:0 while injured. Even if you have minor injury you will forfeit rather than stand on turf embarrassing yourself and risking even more serious injury. Raducanu has strong shots and I feel like she will get few games for sure but probably not gonna cover handicap. This is first season she even plays on clay so Swiatek is enormous favorite. Perfect match to skip, better opportunities elsewhere. Yes, I will be skipping it. Swiatek is the overwhelming favourite, but I think the betting odds are not overwhelming enough in her favour... it is pretty pointless betting on Swiatek. I do think 6-0 6-0 is a genuine possibility, but whilst it could happen, I agree it's not the most likely result, so won't be betting on it. Thats 21 wins in a row for Swiatek, you would have to bet with handicap on her really.
Found this on Instagram this morning, thats remarkable! We watched the match last night, Tsitsipas v Alcaraz, what a great Tennis spectacle it was, Alcaraz used his "drop shot" skill to his advantage, for me it was the most notable play of the match. Tsitsipas lost the cool, tried to hit Alcaraz with the ball after losing the first set, went off court twice and got 2 time penalties, insulted the chair umpire ...and lost the match. Great watch!

Last night's game between the Broncos and Bull Dogs was entertaining enough - by the twenty minute mark the Bull Dogs were winning 10 - 0 and at half time, the Bull Dogs were still leading 10 - 6.
After the break, the Broncos ploughed on the points. With ten minutes to go I was thinking to myself the Broncos need to score again just to rub it in - and they did with five minutes on the clock, they won the game 34 - 14
Yea, what a finishing scoreline, we both had the Broncos to win, I was watching the scoreline and was a bit fearful at the break, you just never know with the Broncos. Rugby Union - URC

1 from 2 in last nights games in the URC, Munster pulled a great performance from I dont know where to won away to Ulster and leapfrog them to go 3rd on the table. That was an against the odds win for them, I didnt back them, they had a few key players out with injuries. In todays games I am going with a Leinster win away to the Sharks.

I havent seen that tournament listed. 10 years is quite a long time to try and develop the professional game, why are players still amateur? is there not enough finance in the game? The most famous Argentinian player in my country is Felipe Contepomi who played #10 for Leinster and scored 1225 points over 6 years. He is still currently with Leinster as a coach. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe_Contepomi

First time I see a rugby post here, I see that you two are the ones that keep it active, I went in to see if it said something about my country (Argentina) that came out champion of seven.
I know a lot about rugby but only from my country, from abroad I don't know anything so you won't see me betting.
Welcome @darxiaomi ! Yes its mostly myself and Timelord keeping the thread alive, others have visited but not regularly. We indeed would love to hear your thoughts on Argentine Rugby, dont forget Rugby World Cup is happening next year and no doubt Argentina will be one of the top teams. I dont know as much about NRL Australia as Timelord but I enjoy the betting.

I'm guessing, move out of the nation? But to what other nation?
Portugal or Germany for example have zero tax on crypto but you have to be resident for 12 months (something like that) Like looking on the blockchain and seeing so many btc millionaires hardly doing much with their btc. Like, they got it long long ago but haven't sold but might owe taxes (trades, buying, etc. ) wonder how many people in general dont pay taxes? I heard it's a lot in the US for crypto holders.
Just as mk4 above posted, Crypto whales epitomise the terms "long term" and "HODL" Think about it, if they didnt sell in 2007/2008 2017/2018 when the then ATH was $20,000 and didnt sell this time around at the ATH of $68,000, they are long term HODLers. Maybe they are waiting for the magic number of $100,000, maybe they are waiting until they are 50 years of age, who knows?
EDIT - thanks @rhomelmabini below - that was some typo.

I've put a parlay on early yesterday - I won't say what it is, but fingers crossed for next week ...
I thought you were going with a parlay? First game of the NRL R7 today between The Sharks and Sea Eagles was a bit remarkable. The Sharks leading 32-0 at the break, only scored 2 points in the second half and let The Sea Eagles score 22 points, seems like they switched off in the second half confident that the job was done, strange scoring. If the Sea Eagles hadnt run out of time it could have been an upset, hard to switch on with a mindest of job done in the first half.

Perhaps just the nerves, you have to think that he is still a kid, just 18 years, and having a good time of his life. And he is playing for the crowd, his first return to Spanish soil so imagine the feeling. The weather as well, windy, cold and wet conditions.
But he did recovered in the 3rd, so he advances and will be facing his fellow Spaniard next, J. Munar.
Both of my initial handicap bets are covered.
the second set played by the Spanish was disastrous from all points of view, indeed unwatchable. Anyone who has bet an "easy" 2-0 win was really surprised to see him play ... https://www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/tennis-in-meltdown-after-wimbledon-breaks-rules-to-ban-russia/news-story/3823c84f7202efcaf2afc1f24b6fda08Politics continues to create divisions even in sport. As already discussed yesterday, there was a ban on Russian and Belarusian players in Wimbledon Tournament. Today's news is Djokovic's that doesn't agree with this ban. Another "contrary" opinion come from australian player Millmann (who suggested donating the Wimbledon prize pool to the Ukrainian cause rather than banning the participation of players based on their nationality). I don't know about you, but excluding someone regardless of their actions is always a kind of defeat for everyone Thats a good suggestioon by Millman regarding the prize fund, not sure it would happen though. TBH I think banning Russian and Belarussian players is a bit over the top, they are individual sports people who dont actually play for their countries. I also think most of the russian players have voiced their comdemnation of the war to some degree. As an aside I was surprised to see at the prize giving ceremony at Monte Carlo they played the national anthems of the winning players, I think its the nly tournament to do that?

feel free to grace this thread with bitcoin facts you know
Definitely one for the list is El Salvador's recogition of Bitcoin as legal tender, Although not a powerhouse of economics, but the first to make the bold move to recognise Bitcoin as an alternative to the US Dollar. Date: 07/September/2021 There may be some newbies who would be surprised by Bitcoin Pizza Day and why it is celebreated and reported on by almost every crypto news outlet. Here is an article about the Lambo purchase > https://www.coinspeaker.com/first-bitcoin-lamborghini/In 2014, a 4chan user spent 216 BTC and bought a Lamborghini Gallardo for $210,000 at Lamborghini Newport Beach using a third-party service that verifies bitcoin. The legend goes that the user leaked the buy on Reddit, and news of the purchase went viral. The dealership that sold the car proclaimed it was the first exotic car dealer to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Maybe the thread title could be changed to Bitcoin Firsts

If you plan to sell or exchange your coins over the next few years, experience shows that storing coins in a cryptocurrency exchange account is no different from storing them in a wallet. And in many ways it's even more convenient.
Wrong. Only if you own shitcoins that you want to sell in the next few hours to days it makes sense to store them on the exchange so that you can act quickly considering how shitcoins pump and dump very quickly. Otherwise if you own bitcoin and you want to keep it for years it makes no sense to store it on exchanges, they may not even exist in a couple of months let alone be around in years! Exactly, Exchanges are for exchanging and their wallets which they provide to us their customers should be used on a temporary basis. "Convienient" how inconvienient is it to transfer coins which you want to exchange from a hardware or smartphone wallet to the exchange? @OP - for the sake of around $100 you can store your coin on a hardware wallet and be at ease in the knowledge that your coin is secure and YOU control access to it at all times. I understand the allure of earning interest but at least know the risk involved.

^ Both Alcaraz against Kwon and Tsitsipas against Ivashka are big favourites. I have Alcaraz -3.5 @1.16, not great odds there. I also have Felix AA to win @1.42.
I'm not sure about backing Tsitsipas, I got burned before specially right after he wins a tournament, maybe -2.5 @1.21?
|
|

^ I am looking forward to Thiem being back and he needs game time but unfortunately Millman beat him in 3 sets. Obviously everyone wants to try and be fighting fit for RG, hopefully he will get another tournament in before then.
The vast majority of the big names are playing Barcelona. The ones in the highlight recently, Alcaraz, Ruud, Tsitsipas are all in action there. Unfortunately for Fokina he had to retire from fatigue at him home tournament.

I was feeling a bit down this evening and this thread and the OP has cheered me up. This is such a unique project, literally "Pen on Paper". This is special because using this technique there is no corrections like with pencil and eraser. My 2 satoshi's, I love the design but why include Dorian's face? personally I think I would have preferred a mysterious figure. Also with the 90gsm paper I would have thought it would be a bit light but on the upside the drawing with len would render the paper more textured which I expect will be a very nice detail.EDIT::::.... So I made these "banknotes" in a limited series (strictly by hand), subsequently printed on a 90 gr paper individually, 21 banknotes 0.0013 BTC

Rugby UnionUnited Rugby ChampionshipIt is just unlucky that the Stormers had those two draws, because they deserve a spot in the top 4, but they are playing the Glasgow Warriors in their next match on the 22 of April, so they can push for a top 4 position on the log.. if they can win that one. The Bulls and the Sharks are not having a bad season either, so I will not be amazed if they end up somewhere in one of the top 4 spots at the end of the championship. Just great to see that the South African teams are doing better in this years championship.... so far. They have a great chance to beat the visiting Glasgow Warriors, there is very little between the two sides going by the stats on the table, the two drawn games didnt help with their points. Dont forget there are 3 rounds left and the top8 go to the QF's. All of the South African sides are at home for this round, The Bulls should beat Benetton, The Lions could have a tough one against Connacht who will be desperately looking to get into the QF's and The Sharks will have a tough day against leaders Leinster.

^ Timelord, it was 10-14 at half time!
The Eels have had a shaky start to the season, losing 2 games and a few narrow wins. The loss to The Wests Tigers will send a bit of a message to their next opponents The Knights who are mid ladder that they are very much beatable even at home.
I'll be backing the Eels though!
As regards the finals in the NRL, i agree that is really is unnecessarily drawn out.

Why are markets rising and falling? And where will the go next?
That is a great puzzle of finance and economics to piece together events and fundamental market mechanics into a cohesive vision of future prices.
There are many obsessive gamers who spend 14 hours a day playing call of duty and counterstrike. Imagine how successful they might be if they obsessively spent 14 hours a day playing a game of investment market trading instead. Point and click is all there is to it. That's all people need to get ahead in life.
The same can be said for scammers. If they used their skills and applied their time to legitimate ways of "earning" money it would be better for all. They obviously have talents but they use them in the wrong way.

Krog,
This is a great thread and a good project.
Looks like the lion share of terms are indentified at this point. However, I would add 'custom' to the this. A couple of creators (and coincidentally you can see an example of this in the picture above of the Denarium. Custom value is obvious to us as synonymous with buyer funded, however, it is worth noting it for the sake of orienting new people in the hobby. I find that the un-initiated are confused by what Custom Value means.
Steeley
what about considering "Custom Design"? willi9974 has a coin currently which offers limitedcustom design https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382457.0

^ I have been using Blockfi for over 1 year and have not experienced any negative issues.
But there is no way I would put all of my Bitcoin or even half of my holdings on that or any similar platform. I would guess everyone is aware of the saying "invest only what you can afford to lose" - the same applies to these platforms also IMO. Handing over your posessions to these platforms means they have full control of them and you have only the control they allow you to have.
But having said all that I have given them a portion of my Bitcoin in order to earn a little more... at a risk.
