^ Yeah, best to get to live support or PM Tornike here, he gets things done really quick, like all good casino community managers/support admins Wink

Still works fine for me on all formats and devices I have, it has to be something to do with your whitelisting IP maybe, as that's the only thing that makes sense for me even if your country location worked before. Hard reboot of your wifi modem usually fixes that...

Meanwhile, no joy in MajSev. Two nil-nils puts everyone out of contention anyway. There's always next time...

Man, it's so ridiculous reading how many people here are even talking about Mane or defending him when that's conjecture that doesn't even exist. Give it a rest, move on from fantasy stories, seriously.

Talk instead about how BVB is fooling us all with their post-Haaland vibes. Why didn't I just trust in Freiburg?

3463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 02, 2022, 03:56:43 PM
Then I remember that I thought he will have rough start and that Kane is safer option in fantasy  Shocked

You and me both, and anyone who actually bothered to analyse. My son keeps telling me "I told you so" and he's just a guy who plays Haaland on his FIFA all the time, and follows him on social media.

3 home hattricks in a row, Citeh fans must be in dreamland. Oh, and he did 2 assists too...

All this without Maguire. United did pull 2 goals back (who else forgot Martial was a new option under new manager?) but that was really just City gifting them.

Congratulations, Manchester City, on winning the 2022/2023 Premier League season. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham should all be ashamed for allowing Manchester City to turn the league into a farmers league. Having KDB and Haaland on the same team is a cheat code.

Agree, but why is Chelski blameless here? We all need to join the losers' circle as equals. Anyway we meet Haaland again in about 2 weeks. As you all know, I am betting a figurative house on this one, stupidly. Early odds are Liverpool 31/10.

We have left qualifying behind and Leclerc won the pole position nicely. As my pick was him for the pole as well I'm contented with the result. However if the weather condition was much better than this then things might have been different. Leclerc must be thankful for Verstappen about not being able to finish his last attempt due to fuel issues. Maybe it was a big disappointment for Verstappen as he is going to start in 8th position. But he still has the fastest car on the grid so he shouldn't have big difficulties in climbing and competing with Leclerc for the win.

Yeah, everyone needs a bit of luck now and then, and since I don't really have anything left to play for except yellow caps, I'd be seriously happy for Verstappen to lose his footing and nerve over the next few races to see LeClerc eat up the distance. A bit of a shame he didn't go on to win, but 2nd place still means he reduced the deficit by 10 points.

Look at Checo though! Woo!

Yeah I really didn't need Savic to go and score an injury time goal heh, I saw that for the first time, I finally got myself into Top 5, an exact score would have been sweeter to take, but can't say I'm not displeased for the results so far, especially getting Roma right.

This was the signal for the jinx to begin of course... as we got 1 upset today now with Monza (wow).

Crazy finish to Milan game, probably just because I had 1:0 Milan win in our pool Smiley Milan leading 1:0 and then equalizer in 92nd minute and then Milan scoring two more goals in 93rd and 97th minute. Will have to check the highlights of that extra time.

Reminds me of the Dortmund game, leading 2 goals and then let in 3 goals in injury time to lose, and then the Atletico UCL tie where they also won 2-1 with all 3 goals in 12 minutes of injury time.

Didn't even know this was a crazy game, was just happy to get the score right!

Casper, come on, don't run away with the points!

^Amazing returns on THAT freebet, Ulven! The gift that keeps on giving, huh. Let's see if I manage to turn mine into something useful, pretty good I didn't win anything earlier as it turns out, as I'd have put it on United... who are now on their way to getting whipped by Citeh.

4-0 after first half, at this point, I'd rather City go get another 4 or 5 in second half to punish United for ever thinking they were getting back on track with Ten Hag... shame on me for thinking the derby might throw up an upset *happy sad noises*

You got your betbuilder lost just by the 2+goal right slam? Spot on on the yellow cards too, and leading both halves, shame about the lack of goals... but better than drawing 3-3 honestly.

If it helps you feel good, I put a small bet on Osasuna Wink

I've had problems with imgur for a long time (maybe due to VPN, I don't know) so I stopped using it completely and now I use imbb mostly.

Atlético are leading 1-0 after the first half and the odds for their victory are still very attractive - 1.3. Do the bookmakers really think that reliable Simeone will allow the team to take risks and give Sevilla a chance?

Imgur's naughty towards non EU IPs, as I mentioned. It's always "Refreshing" for me to go home to my own land after some years and suddenly get blocked and slow service on almost every internet service I use. To remind me how shitty things can be for some people haha.

Anyway, Griezmann in at 61st min yesterday, the earliest he's been subbed in all season heh.

I've talked about this at least once before but don't mind talking about it again because it's a major change in the way I've lived for the past 5 years or so since moving to a new country and taking up freelancing work seriously.

Short story is PayPal used to be my main means of getting paid from freelance work. Yeah it costs money, but it was instant and relatively cheaper and faster than banking, besides easier tracking of invoices etc.

But if you're not North American or European, and move around a lot, PayPal doesn't like you. Account freezes and verification became more common over the years, particularly I'd say after 2010 (?) as I remember frequently having to reverify myself, getting balances unblocked, and they'd even stay blocked for months at times. Frustrating af.

When I first tried out Bitcoin, it took a while to convince clients to pay with it but I offered discounted rates. 5%, 10%, to make it worth their while, but also later discovered more and more clients willing and eager to get things done faster with Bitcoin.

Don't remember the exact turning point but at least since 2018, Bitcoin is virtually the only way I get paid for my freelance work, and I've converted countless others along the way.

So Bitcoin's made it possible for me, a person from the Global South to say goodbye to the fked up financial system that discriminates against me, to participate as a regular person just trying to make ends meet.

Haven't checked back this thread for a bit, good to see you're getting results and bets in. Might throw in a looksee here for the next round of games... but PNE don't seem to have progressed/digressed one bit since I last checked! 3 goals scored and 4 goals let in with 11 games, I want to say draw specialists, but Liverpool seem to be doing that even more in a league above haha.

Blades looking good huh?

^ Yeah I put Roma on my ticket, but it's all gone to naught anyway since Liverpool and Villareal couldn't come away with the goods. I don't think I'll be putting any more money down. Not watching but nice to see Roma getting the one goal with their one shot on goal. Who was it who doesn't like Dybala again?

3471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 01, 2022, 02:42:52 PM
Well. Fmbetbru must be licking his chops, the only one with Brighton on a win, Liverpool score again though, then SwordsRex gets his exact score, but the rest of us save a handful will be dropping points if we don't find a way past the Seagulls.

Carvalho not really impressing on only his second start. VVD also still can't seem to shrug off his malaise. Man. We had some good moments after going 2 behind and we did deserve that VAR onside.

Only consolation if this doesn't go our way on current results is I have Palace on a win, even if Auba's just equalised, I think there's a good chance. Looking up at all you boys from the bottom.
3472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Odds, units advantage | Sportsbook | +85728 units on: October 01, 2022, 02:20:34 PM
Damn, that post was so long ago I didn't even remember it at first when rereading it:) That one hurt a lot.

I don't believe United can get something from City other than score a goal or two. As I was writing in PL pool topic, I don't see how United can even hope to stop Haaland. Martinez is missing a lot in constitution while Maguire is even worse option.

Haha yeah, I find myself so busy I'm not giving my own thread enough love. United can't win, for sure, that's also what my gut and technical analysis says. I actually watched them play a lot last season, and I missed their early games but even when they were winning (like vs Liverpool), you see that they are a very, very poor team. At best, bottom team of "Big 6".

But derby is derby and they beat both Liverpool and Arsenal by getting some weird fortune.

What algorithm do you use to add bets to this thread? During the Nations League games, I always thought that such a tournament with unmotivated teams where the favorites often lose should be good for you, but I did not see the betting reports.

By the way, it seems to me that the odds of Manchester United winning are underestimated. Manchester United are showing a game similar to last season, and Manchester City have clearly become stronger with the acquisition of Haaland. But bookmakers believe that Manchester City has remained at its level and Manchester United has strengthened.

Very simple. If I think it has value. I know that's a very vague explanation, but for Nations League, I actually didn't really know what the value was, friendlies (yes, I don't care, it's a friendly) especially I see no value unless the odds are extremely high for a good team.

I made pretty good money in NL, on my first 3 bets, but they were on an acca on all favourites, and one big upset on Azerbaijan. But it was actually exact value to me (9/1) because they won 1 in last 9 games...!

I got over 9/1 for United too, I'm okay with that, made it a bit bigger with Liverpool leg... and we're already down 2 goals whoops
3473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2022/2023 on: October 01, 2022, 02:08:08 PM
Anyone got tricked with Villareal? Haha... 0-0 man.

^GL with that BB! It looks solid, tbh. The Williams brothers stole the show, as they usually do... a bit of joy for them as they both got their 2nd caps for national team. One brother Inaki for Ghana, and the other for Spain (scored the winning goal that took them to Nations League finals). Amazing story.

Oh and yeah I use imgbb but it also screws up on the forum from time to time. Imgur is definitely not always friendly to Asian locations Wink

it is not football, it is business, after all
did not know that fact about Griezmann, but it does not sound too "sportish" to have this kind of behavior,
That is regular clause that is put into the contract of most high profile players that sort of flopped in their team. That way you get rid of the player and have a chance to get decent amount of money back and the team that is buying has a safety in case that player really isn't good anymore.

Yeah, I only heard about it while watching Champions League, the game where Griezmann scored in 12 min injury time, and then the commentator was discussing how he played 50+ mins in that game giving Simeone a headache in the next game. Then it was revealed about that time.

Right after the game also Griezmann himself said it was difficult to sit on the bench wanting to play but knowing you can only play a certain amount of time. He wasn't complaining but you could see he was very frustrated about it.

I feel it's sort of unsportsmanlike too, that business gets into the spirit of the game. Same as those teams that sub on a player for just enough minutes to make sure they get their "medal" if they win a tournament, or # of caps in contracts, etc.

No other way than by gut feeling without any research Smiley I agree for some, Toney, Mitrović and Watkins are my choices as well. I went with Son since he opened up his account and I am thinking he will continue to score, Bowen from West ham since he is hands down most dangerous player in their team and Maddison for Leicester since it can be only him Smiley

I already know I will miss the scorer on Everton game, went with Gordon since he at least looks like he is trying.

Phew for Jesus. Already ticked me off one!

Bowen and Maddison man (Southgate is a criminal honestly for leaving him out, and I'm not just saying that because he said Trippier was better than TAA haha), those guys are really good, but I watched Hammers in past 2 games and I see Antonio as a really angry man, and I like that. He is so desperate to score if he is lined up (I hope the break made him fully fit) he is going to be a monster.

@logfiles Working fine for me. I actually probably never mentioned it before but their latest version of website has really improved my FJ experience. No more frequent log outs, I get proper notifications on alerts (promos and freebets, because FJ loves me I guess), and MajSev no more buggy for me.

Rofl.  It's nice to see the meme is catching on in these parts.  He's not just the goat, he's Goatifiii.  Cheesy  The Goatifi meme originated at Formula Dank at Reddt.  Those guys are so hilarious and catch anything funny at any point in the race then they go post a meme asap.  Their favorite seems to be Toto Wolff still and Lewis Hamilton.  That guy takes himself so seriously it becomes funny.  Ferrari memes were funny at first but the team has been below average in their decision making, it stops being funny and you start feeling sorry for them...  Mostly Leclerc.

Almost as funny for me as football troll accounts, but yeah, it's weird when you feel sorry for the prancing horse -- almost like I feel sorry for Man United. It's definitely more fun when a team is on the rise and just can't win, but this has become a comedy of sorts.

Even after witnessing the dominant runs from Red Bull I still see Mercedes Russell taking it and having pole position for tomorrows main race.

Call me a dreamer but I have a feeling that they want to pull out all the stops and have him as the No.1 driver for the arrows.

I'm always thinking like this, which made me suffer in my picks. Not just for F1. Unfortunately in this sport, pulling out all the stops and guts and passion aren't nearly enough. Verstappen's post practice comments about the times not being representative, they don't sound like excuses, sound actually like factual. Who knows, anyway, my picks are in: Max pole, Sainz fastest, Ham podium, Russel sandwiched...
3476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: October 01, 2022, 10:44:12 AM
Don't forget to put your picks in for 4-3-free and Bet-6-6, Manchester derby in the former, London derby in the latter, so not much time left to put them in!

^ Didn't see that special but Steve helped me restore my account to see all promos: I took the Special with Over 1.5 corners in each half for BOTH Arsenal Spurs.

Also, put a $50 pre-match bet on BTTS for the Arsenal $25 free chip special, that's value however you put it -- lose and you still get the $25 Roulette free chip!

 
Big test for Arsenal tomorrow when Tottenham comes on visit. Last 6 meeting between the sides has ended in home wins so hoping the statistics holds up tomorrow as well.

That'd be good for me, but I've put either side on a win on different accas... so as long as we don't get a draw I'm okay. A bit idiotic to put the first game of the day on all my tickets but oh well, Marseille winning last night was a great start for me.

Feel like I've seen your posts before, but I see you guys are doing a lot of Lightning stuff -- there's only one other active merchant-centric group I know of not too far away from where I live, they've been doing Lightning for a while now.

Haven't popped in here for a while. Never attended a conference -- not physical anyway, plenty of digital ones because of work and it's a completely different thing to be online -- but had a fair share of meetups.

Always awkward for me initially but I find that Bitcoiners are some of the warmest, friendliest, least assuming people. Maybe I'm lucky too, but yeah, be yourself. It's okay not to talk about Bitcoin all the time, although the easiest ice-breaker is always I guess how your Bitcoin story started.

But I always met for a specific purpose: exchange a Bitcoin-related item, trade/buy, some Bitcoin-related thing (like this Bitcoin post chain I did a couple of years back), even a poker event, but never really just a meetup for the sake of meeting up.

Nothing special, really, but cool people, in my fortunate experience.

I don't really know what web3 is to be fair, but I do understand "web3" as a complete internet ecosystem which includes, or is enabled by and with "cryptocurrency". To my understanding, that does include Bitcoin as well (not as a pegged or layered system but for example, I've seen Lightning apps labelled under an extension of Web3.

Of course, definitions aren't clear to me, e.g. web3 wallets are anything but Bitcoin clients =)

Also, decentralized applications are overrated, they don't have much use in real world. Almost all of them are just manipulations with tokens for the sake of speculation and pointless investing. They don't make lives better or easier.

Not to mention the majority of dapps are really only non-custodial or at most open source. They definitely don't make lives easier...

Griezmann especially, who'll only have 20 minutes to make an impact, he'll be running his heart out for a goal heh.
So Griezmann isn't first team material for Atletico this season? Did not watch them properly this season yet and I don't think I will. They are just boring to look at and I always have some better game to check out. My feel is that both to score on Atletico games is history and that they are reverting to tried and tested low scoring games. Sevilla is also top of my troll list so that game is a hard pass.

Don't forget to put your picks in, still missing a lot of them, mine included  Wink

Yeah, it's a bit complicated and I don't know the details but apparently Barca had a clause in the contract that if Atletico play him for 50% of the games he's available for, they need to cough up an additional 20 million euros, something like that. They played him so much already that now to ensure he doesn't play more than 50% of available game time, he has to play less than 30 minutes per game, so they've put subbed him in every game after 62 min mark, something like this. Crazy modern times huh?

Casper, yeah, Bilbao already up 2 goals, should be easy. Most of us on exact, one more goal and only Fmbet is exact... crazy.
