Wales 0-3 England

On to the last 16 for Southgate’s men, as they set up a last 16 tie with Senegal. England will be very happy that Mane is injured. He could have caused them real problems. As it stands, I don’t expect much trouble for England in that game.

I’ve moved up to 10th place in our pool, just hanging on at the moment. I don’t to fall too far behind & stay in touch in time for the 1/4 finals. That’s when the assault begins to try & win the pool, the real business end of the tournament.

Must be feeling very happy as a supporter, I wish they wouldn't have met Senegal however, because I wanted both teams to progress!!

The good news is England are currently the top scorers with 9 goals in 3 games, Spain has a chance to beat that but I doubt it can happen even if I support them, I just get the feeling Japan will allow max 1 goal.

10th place is awesome, I checked and I didn't do so badly, which was a surprise and I dropped a few places in this new round but plenty more games to go, so it's a tight fight. 8 points away from the top, feels quite far away!

As pointed out already, this is pure trading/speculation. NOT investment or storing digital assets, which I think it already does separately.

This version of Fidelity does not have a Bitcoin wallet, that to me is very clear that it makes it no different from having a Paypal account. You can "buy" Bitcoin but in reality you're just buying an IOU from a trader, who probably never even actually goes to have a bitcoin in his wallet.

It's just a guy with a lot of money (liquidity) from others and he's opening new trading markets.

Hey everyone! Took 6 days off and actually supposed to be full week but came back 1 day early as some small flooding ruined our last night on vacation with family. So terrible I missed so much good football, Messi especially supposedly scored a great goal. My fantasy is ruined, and I almost missed the quiz and just sent answers without thinking but wow, I had made it luckily as the standings aren't so bad for me lol, but I have to watch out for Harkorede and hakan2217!

Messi now need 2 goals today and he wins it, but I stuck with Valencia thinking he could at least score one, so it's weird but I hope Messi only scores 1 lol.

Hey everyone, unfortunately I haven't been able to be active or watch games much even forum time could not post, but I came back just to post this quickly and take screenshot and send for next quiz.

I sent PM to cryptofrka also for round2, I'll fix everything in 2 days if it was not correct!!

Spain and Argentina still alive so I'm happy, I'm not at all happy with Germany who was my outright promo bet lol, 2 games and no win  Roll Eyes

In discussions back here in Asia, a lot of bookies lost money apparently, (underground bookies since we all don't have legal sportsbetting lol) because a lot of Saudi supporters bet big money and I guess odds were over 20x. We already have some local gangsters also spraying shop walls with paint (it's typical to mean a warning to pay up).

Meanwhile, I paid very badly as a supporter of Argentina. Spain better not let me down...



I also just noticed today Sportsbet deposit is instant even if BTC is nor confirmed. As in, you can bet with balance immediately, whereas before you had to wait for 1 confirmation if I'm not mistaken. That's very good for me Smiley

I have a question. If the correct answer is not in anyone's quiz answer, will the next closest answer win points? For example Australia now has fastest goal but nobody picked them. Is England and Argentina answer considered correct if nobody else scores earlier than 10'?

Anyway I took inspiration from the winning combibet above, and made a new one for Round 2, I can use this as the Quiz bet too as might not be easy for me to make bets until next week Smiley

GL to all tournament players Smiley I am taking a short break where I probably just can come in once or twice to do stuff, gamble responsibly everyone!

I understand that since Flavio left the company, no one has replaced him to give official answers in the thread. Is that so?

Someone has replaced him, but they are busy with new promotions for the site, and everything is under control, as Trofo already mentioned here and I quote below. All site promo and even live support is still ongoing I play there as usual. I guess it's just this forum that needs a new guy to learn and take over. We're all taken care of Smiley

Thanks for the shout out but Livecasino has this under control.

As you all probably know Flavio is not in charge of Livecasino account anymore, there has been some changes and I believe business as usual will resume soon with new manager for the forum.

What on earth happened and how did I not hear about this lol

Trump just can't disappear even with Twitter banning him, huh. I mean, he's not the most likable guy on the planet but sometimes you just have to admit these guys get less credit than deserved for being around despite everything.

I always lean towards democratic candidates but that's because I'm not American, no idea how policies really are except I can say there's more war when these guys are elected.

Can't believe Biden is almost same odds as Trump though??

0 points for me because I tried to be funny with Qatar and Iran (unfortunately not Mehdi Taremi) on my roster but I hope this can change a lot with Argentina as I have the main man there, but I guess a lot of you also have the same, so let's see.

By the way are any of you playing daily fantasy? There are prizes and I just discovered it now but picked random Smiley

So far so good for my World Cup betting but to be honest I have been very very safe. Only one bet on Ecuador over 1.5 goals, I didn't trust England but should have, I almost trusted USA and saved myself, but now in 3 hours ++ my first big bet waits to clear on Argentina, it was very bad odds but I just wanted to get a round number on my balance so put it all there.

Also have a smaller multibet that will clear if they win (with England).

@Saint-loup I think you are right, it is percentage of house edge. Tried to click on full terms but it doesn't say actually, except that "house edge is factored in". Anyway Smiley Good discussion!

@Don Pedro Thanks for the reminder to brush up on my maths, so what is this commission you're talking about, is it your term for the house edge itself? Because I thought commission is only charged on games like Baccarat.

I wish people would use terms that are correct or that I maybe also need to brush up on my English so I can actually use maths Wink

Not bad start for me to get 3 points on exact score in the pool, but terrible start in Fantasy because I had one Qatar defender in my Fantasy team lol

Imagine if Valencia got his hattrick we would have 2 guys happily in our Fantasy getting far ahead. I hope it doesn't crash when I try to make subs tomorrow...

Yeah that is the correct one. But I really just answered pretty much all you asked in post just before yours. Applications are open until 02.12. and you have to fill in the form on official promo page over on Sportsbet.

Benzema out is actually quite unexpected and maybe it already screwed with somebody 12th man chip. Not much time left until the first game, just about 3 hours.

Sorry for asking, yeah I think a few of us are getting confused for many different competitions, what a nice problem to have however Wink

Benzema really screwed with me, now I'm worried about my 12th man chip as he's also a guy who likes getting injured (Neymar). But that's why he wasn't in my squad even though I have a feeling he's going to be one of the tournament favs.
2974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match on: November 21, 2022, 10:00:12 AM
First of all, to win a match you bribe an official, not a player, because unless you manage to bribe the entire team, even 1 suspicious teammate will bring the whole effort down. 1 official is enough. That was such a dumb news.
if they succeed in bribing a number of core teams of course it will also be difficult if Ecuador will not score goals let alone manage to bribe the main striker, I think that also has an effect, but again maybe it's just fake news and as hosts Qatar really plays well, no anyone knows the truth, all will be seen in a few hours when the game starts

Well as they showed, nobody from Ecuador was being bribed, lol. Everyone played to the the maximum even in the first half and got so many chances while preventing even a single movement from Qatar in their own penalty box, much less a shot attempt until injury time in the first half.

Fake news proven, so let's put this matter to rest!!

I see a lot of people talking about the SB promos here now and new names even so I guess the forum is benefiting from new gamblers from the site Wink

Got a nice prediction on Ecuador correct so I'm off to a good start.

Anyway, today is the deadline for Sportsbet's Outright offer. Bet minimum of 5 mbtc or equivalent on other currencies for the World Cup winner and get 25usdt free chip for each game that your choosen team won. 5mbtc is around $83 so picking a huge group favourites that will most likely win 3 games means you are getting 90% back through this promotions already. Dont forget to Opt-in through this PAGE before you bet

I bet a bit more than the minimum on Germany but I think it's fine for me, I actually have my eye on Spain and on Argentina but so few people rate Germany that I felt I had to take them on, even though they have the weakest squad for a long time now. Still have to wait for Wednesday for that though! Who picked England other than LFC_Bitcoin will be watching today keenly Wink

New promo for World Cup everyone, just opt in and then play 1500 USDT and you might get a mystery prize, possible to do 5x a day Smiley

Definitely think it's worth it to go for at least $20 based on experience, but only if you just wager same amount without trying to martingale (hehe). The roulette house edge is sort of returned from the loyalty rakeback but you really have to keep an eye on balance to not overdo the loss.
The house edge of roulette games is covered by the Loyalty rakeback? For which ranks precisely? That would be a great news, because it would mean that rouette is a free to play game at Livecasino. I've never noticed it until now so I guess it's only working for the highest ranks of the loyalty rakeback program.

Rakeback for my level now (Expert) is 7.5%, which is way more than the below 2% house edge of roulette. I never truly calculated though!

It sort of works out correctly as I played 1000s of automatic spins on roulette and I saw my balance go down a little slower than the rakeback amount at some point. But nobody has discipline I guess because I always end up trying to win back and make profit Wink

Hey guys, is there a way to confirm I joined the league?  I can see I'm part of Trofo's Fantasy league, is this the correct one for Sportsbet? I can't remember actually what I did or how I clicked to join the fantasy league but I can't see anything about any league I'm in, FIFA says only once match starts then I can see but that's stupid because it's too late to join by then right?

Anyway, I had to reset my team because Benzema is out Sad

I don't want to defend Qatar's issues with human rights etc as they are all out there but I really think the media has nothing better to do than to distract people from the real big problems that plague all nations. After all, because of World Cup, Qatar has been improving conditions for people there. My own country has many people working there and they agree, if not because of WC attention things would never have improved.

And as RealMalatesta said, if any other Europe team gets offer from rich state to buy their club and spend 100s of millions on new players without needing to borrow money, they would kiss the feet. See Newcastle fans after they got bought, suddenly all wearing the Arabic headgear happily.

So I don't want to defend any criminal but I really am getting tired of the double standards. Players talking about Qatar abuse played happily in Russia 4 years ago  Roll Eyes

Is it me, or are those odds gone? This year I was looking for my nation’s odds, and the worst team had 550 or something, or maybe 750 I am not sure, then I checked all leagues that I cared about, like a dozen of them in all places and couldn't find a single place with 5000 odds, maybe that’s my mistake, maybe I didn't see it, but is that even possible anymore?

I just feel like Leicester was a once in a million years thing and it will not happen again, it would be very near impossible. This was the team that barely got a promotion recently, on a league as tough as premier league, becoming champions when everyone assumed they would relegate, that’s just not possible. Like Wolves or Southampton this year to become champions suddenly, or Norwich being champions last year, that’s just not realistic and yet it has happened.

I was talking about Leicester being 5000 odds but that was years ago, this year even Nottingham Forest was only something like 500x to win, bookies learnt not to do that anymore I guess after losing a lot of money that year.

But World Cup odds are still there for me, try to go to this URL to check out all of available markets: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/international/fifa-world-cup-2022/world-cup-2022-63762c28e785822c30f78b15

The World Cup winner appears right at the top first.
