I know what you mean about the WTA, its very open...But currently we seem to be
seeing consistent performances from Swiatek and Sakkari and maybe Osaka
if she can get over some of the mental issues she has can make her claim on the
top spot. I had Swiatek to win against Kvitova yesterday and she won handily enough.


Yea two upsets alright, am I right in saying Ruud has beaten Zverev twice before?
I thought I heard a commentator saying that yesterday....

I had Sinner to win yesterday and when he was broken the odds went to 1.5 so I went
again on him, then about 5 minutes later he retired. That Cerundolo guy looks really good.

As do I, I keep my business to myself.

Something which hasnt been mentioned, we can choose who we would like to tell
about our crypto dealings but we cannot choose or control who those people share
that information with. Once it is in the public domain we lose control of our "secrets"
so its best to consider what we want going public and what we want to keep private.

Yes Swiatek I believe has become more aggressive in her play which is making a big
difference. Osaka is still my favourite player on the womens side and is going
very well especially after what happened at Indian Wells not so very long ago, she has
bounced back hard.

I read the OP in that reddit thread and it kind of backs up the first question I formed
in my head, How will Bitcoin be portrayed? and how will the average non-Bitcoiner
digest it


I will give it a watch because I know nothing of that exchange and everything
surrounding it, I'll see how it goes.

Rugby League

Another weekend of tough games in Round 4 of the NRL for both The Panthers
against The Rabbitohs, I believe The Rabbitohs have put a stop to their losing but
still this weekend I have The Panthers to win a close match.

The Sharks and Knights pair off against each other, current 3rd and 4th place
on the ladder, another close one I suspect.

The Eels and Storm I believe should come through this round with wins and
secure their positions in the top of the ladder

My bets for this weekend are:

Rollbit

Penrith Panthers v South Sydney Rabbitohs - Penrith Panthers ML 1.38 - Stake $1.80 - potential win $2.48

North Queensland Cowboys v Sydney Roosters - North Queensland Cowboys ML @ 3.0 - Stake $1.50 - potential win $4.50

Nitrogensports

Parramatta Eels v St.George/Illawarra Dragons - Parramatta Eels ML @ 1.29 - Stake 0.06mBTC -potential win 0.08mBTC

Melbourne Storm v Canterbury Bulldogs - Melbourne Storn ML 1.16 - Stake 0.06 mBTC - potential win 0.07mBTC

Why would you want to tell your friends about your crypto achievements?
That can be seen as gloating.

Personally I dont tell anyone of my personal affairs, crypto or otherwise.
People generally dont go around telling everyone how much they earn,
how much they have in the bank so why divulge your crypto portfolio?

How many times in the last year have you sen anyone on the forum
post about how much Bitcoin they have? its just not the done thing.

Go about your business privately and be happy and confident in what
you are doing, you dont need confirmation from other people on how
fantastically brilliant your are.

Kyrgios down....and out

After losing the tie break in the first set he totally lost his emotions,
and it was game over, I had him to win but didnt bother with the
handicap on sinner. I tried to cash out right after the first set but
the markets had closed on this ^{rightly so}

I just cannot believe he lost it after losing the tie break, its as if his
belief evaporated r as a commentator said before its as if thats his
saety net, blaming other factors, the court, the chair umpire or whatever,
he believes when he is losing the match is lost.

He received firstly a point penalty, then a game penalty and that was
enough for him to secure his loss without his actual tenis being called
into question.

I wont be betting on him again, waaay to risky.

Xprim777 published a Polymerbit Reference Thread back in 2017, probably needs
an update but here it is, its a great reference > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2393303.0

It sounds like the OP is new to crypto trading and is willing to work with anything which
will turn a profit...and is in a hurry to do so.

Many will attest to the risk involved with Altcoins, they fluctuate wildly and dont have a
very long lifespan, as in they "trend" for a while until interest wanes and moves to a
different Altcoin.

There are a lot of members here who wont entertain any Altcoin and focuses only on Bitcoin,
but yea people looking for quick profits generally dont have the patience for long investments etc.

Well he despatched Cilic in the two sets anyway!

Yea, so far I'm impressed with Kyrgios, If he can continue with his professional attitude
and super form he can go to the final for sure, Alcaraz is definitely a contender too,
neither players have dropped any sets so far. I havent seen either Alcaraz, Medvedev
or Zverev play yet.

The highlight for tomorrow has to be Kyrgios v Sinner, Nick is favourite @ 1.5 against
Jannik being 2.55. Rollbit are giving the following handicap on Jannik +5.5 @ 1.19,
+5 @ 1.22 and +4.5 @ 1.37. I would like to do Kyrgios to win and Sinner +4.5.

Its obvious from the article that

a.) Judge Sarah Falk of the London High Court was well versed in Bitcoin, its development
and operations

and

b.) Judge Falk can see through the very thin cloak over CSW's lies and trickery



I love to see this language being used by someone in authority, this ruling is
another thread unraveling from CSW's web of lies, soon there will be nothing left
to support him.

I'll be checking them out, such a great and novel idea.....and original.

Rugby Union

I had 3 bets on Round 14 of the URC, Ulster to win away to the DHL Stormers but they
lost in a close match and had a disallowed try with about 5 minutes from the end,
final score 23-20.

I also had Glasgow Warriors to win away to Cardiff thinking Glasgow being 4th
on the table would easily overcome a bottom placed team, not the case, final score 32-28

Finally I had Leinster to beat Connacht, The home side Connacht had a man sent
off in the first half and the flood gates opened in the second half, score there: 8-45

So I'm 1 from 3

Here is the table after round 14. I still dont know how the imbalance in games played
is going to be resolved.

Just watching it now, I have my bet on Kyrgios. I heard today that this is Nick's
most successful tournament, he has reached the semi-final's twice.

The match seems a little subdued ATM, both players are keeping things under
control, Nick is very business like, and Fabio is looking his usual lethargic self.

Kyrgios has broken Fognini twice so far in the first set, serving for it now.

Hmmm - It seems pricing is an issue for raritycheck. I just went through the 2021 thread
and noticed 2stouts comment...


I get that there are costs involved in material and production and obviously being able
to make some profit from the venture too but you have to have your pricing set at the time of
launch.

I like the designs though.

For me having the holograms numbered is ok, they are tamper proof so its more of an
incentive NOT to peel (kind of)

Yea it looks like last years top 6 are taking their places in this years top six, ok its early days though.

Thats was some comeback by the Raiders from 22-4 down at the break, they must have got extra
Jaffa Cakes and a serious shot of belief.

A recap on my bets for round 3, I'm 3 from six but with only one team "The Penrith Panthers",
they have saved my bacon this round, I'm actually slightly up on the NRL R3>

Also in regards to the Sportsbook, what I have found is that they offer slightly better
odds than 2 other platforms I compared on some games. Its not massive but its nice that
they offer a slight advantage to playing.

That happens a lot here, particularly in Horse Racing, people get "Tips" which
originate from god knows where and others bet on a name they like buy know
nothing about the sport.

Personally I bet on and follow as much as possible Tennis and Rugby. Last year I
tried betting on a sport I know nothing about - Handball.

My strategy was to basically check a teams world ranking and their run of form, I
think I actually made some Satoshi's at it, but its only Tennis and Rugby now.

Happy Birthday to Rollbit and the Signature Campaign. I genuinely feel privileged
to have been part of it since week 1.

Looking forward to the new signature designs !

Well done Hhampuz, Rollbit and everyone involved.

Anyone noticing Nick Kyrgios at Miami?

He seems to be on a bit of a stormer, he beat Rublev in his round of 64, Final score
3-6, 0-6, thats remarkable! He beat Mannarino in the round of 128 in straight sets
and faces Fognini tomorrow in the round of 32.

Has he knuckled down and taking the matches MORE seriously or is this normal?
