Redbull making it 1-2 again and making everyone else look like GP2 cars and it is 5 wins that they do 1-2 to 1-2 I believe.I wonder why should we continue to see this season as this F1 race was very boring and the difference Redbull had on every other single team is devastating,be it Verstappen who won again thanks to his bravery to bring the hard tires up to 45 laps and doing super fast laps with them even after 25 laps and the tires were well consumed,this was what won him the race tonight and Perez could not do anything as Verstappen had a better strategy,anyway it is not this,it is that no other team at all is showing at least some signs of recovery against Redbull,this season reminds me 2009 with Brawn GP.

Newcastle vs Arsenal
West Ham vs Man Utd

I will be hoping for two home wins to keep Liverpool’s slim top 4 hopes alive.

Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal
West Ham 1-0 Man Utd

Well this worked out well Wink

Top 4 we are coming (maybe).

Great findings,hope you put them on the pool also as I got exactly 0 points in the games of tonight in the pool.I think Liverpool has real chances especially now that Manchester United is in one of the worse moments of the whole season for them,losing against every single team they play away from home.I did not expect an easy win for Arsenal but they made Newcastle look like a team of league one as for the Championship they would be far away with today performance,the ease of Arsenal scoring goals told me that Newcastle is only a strong team against weaker teams.Let's hope tomorrow games are a bit better.

PSG playing against a team already relegated are just having fun and not playing seriously as if they were playing seriously the result should have already been 0-5 or more for these 40 minutes of the game.PSG is just playing for fun while they are already Champions of the Ligue 1 and I did bet on them to win and both teams to score as most likely they would play care free without much pressure,both teams got nothing to play for,Troyes already relegated and PSG most likely already Champions.So far the result is 0-1 but I am confident we will see a lot of goals in the second half.

Monaco is back at winning again but is a team to not be trusted in betting.Lyon vs MontPellier ending with over 8 goals was a super entertaining game and Lyon won in the last minutes,overall a good week for the Ligue 1 who most of the time is extremely boring.

Even Verstappen made a statement like he aimed the second place during this race after having a poor qualifying session for himself. But Verstappen is still a very ambitious driver so he would do his best for the win anyway. In the end there is no meaning in his letting Perez win without competing hard with him now. Perez is right behind him in driver standings and winning this race will carry him to the lead also.

The weather conditions are also an issue of concern here. Because there have been some rain during the day in Miami. If the track doesn't dry until the race starts then the race can get pretty interesting. This can even be an opportunity for other drivers from different teams to have a much better finish. For example who knows it might even be an opportunity for Alonso to win a race as he is starting in second place already.  Grin

The weather conditions is what made me place a funny bet on both McLaren cars to be in the Top 6 at the odd of 101,I just placed some cents in this to add to the emotion of the race,I also bet a couple of other bets like Stroll in top 6 and then in top 8 because I believe Stroll to do a great race as I am assuming he will be starting with hard tires and to be driving a long time without the pit stop and who knows what happens with the safety car and the rain predicted.

For the race winner I have no doubts it will be Perez as long as we are racing in normal conditions but since most likely we are not going to have normal conditions because of the weather I think that this race is a gamble and a lottery and can be anyone win here.

There goes the season for United. a backlog at West Ham United. Always a tough game but they can't lose it, can they? Very favorable for Newcastle, which itself loses to Arsenal today. Arsenal have been very good all season, but City are slightly better, especially in the last few weeks. Arsenal must be on a kind of pink cloud right now. But on the other hand also frustrating because there is 1 team that is just a bit better. In any case, we will see Arsenal again in the CL next season, it was about time that the Gunners started playing there. After all, that was a while ago. I remember Arsenal being undefeated champions of England once, they were really good. With Bergkamp etc.

I like many others I believe were deceived by the bookies and bet on Newcastle to win,something in normal circumstances I would never bet on them and bet on Arsenal on that very good odd of 2.85 but as dumb as I am I thought that maybe Arsenal had lost motivation to continue fighting for the title,something clearly wrong by my calculations.

I have bet on Manchester United to win as they usually win even away when playing against mid table teams or a bit lower like West Ham but West Ham just scored and is winning the game,funny enough Premier League is not being good and I had a feeling about this as rarely I have seen a game on Sunday in the Premier League to be played at 20 PM European time,hopefully Manchester recovers or they will lose to Liverpool that spot for Champions League during these last games of the season.

For me it is the first time I hear about them,also when I watch sports like soccer games or F1 races online in certain streaming websites they come out with all sort of ads that redirect to well known and not at all well known casinos.For me I use a golden rule which if anyone follows he will have never problems and that rule is,once you have found a stable and reputable casino offering a lot of games selection,almost instant withdrawals and deposits,ongoing bonuses daily,weekly and monthly I find absolutely no reason why some person should try other casinos at all,may be I am a bit of a fanatic but by following this rule I have never had any problems gambling and I do so from many years.

After getting angry at Russell in the Azerbaijan GP this time Verstappen must be really frustrated after Leclerc's simple mistake and having an accident after. Leclerc also stated that he was so sad about making this mistake twice on the same race week. Perez has a good opportunity in hand as a result but let's see how effectively he will use it. He was pretty impressive in the previous race.

Verstappen would be the only threat to him even though Verstappen will start in 9th position. I wonder how determined he will be this time to overtake Perez and be the winner.

To try to lessen this guilt from Leclerc, RedBull boss Christian Horner declared that Verstappen and Leclerc's mistakes were caused by gusts of wind Roll Eyes

It was unfortunate to see Verstappen start only in ninth place because, on top of that, he aborted his first attempt in Q3 because of a slip he had.

I understand F1's safety rules, but I keep asking myself if it was really so necessary to interrupt practice with only 2 minutes left and LecLerc's car stopped several meters from the track. I think they could have followed normally until the end, or does anyone disagree?

Absolutely not.There was no reason to stop the Q3 to not start again,for me it should not have stopped at all but since they put a Red flag they should have started or better restarted the Q3 as there were 1.38 minutes,enough for every car to come out and try one final lap for those that still could.I understand that Leclerc could not but I am sure Verstappen were ready and a lot of other drivers were waiting to improve themselves because the track conditions as we saw throughout the whole qualification kept improving so F1 safety rules are becoming a joke,a real bad joke for me.

There is no skill you can add to slots gaming, you will lose no matter what you do, there is no trick with slots than to limit the timing, try rolling every 30 minutes instead of continuous rolling said a friend, I tried this too and it gave me the exact same result, slots games are completely luck, if you play your slots game and you keep losing try another slots game on other gambling platform.

it seems that slot games have been programmed for us to lose and when we will be given a win by the Bookies. I don't know how people say strategy or how to play slots to win. But the reality is that we will spend more and more time on the game.
if there is a win, it will only take us longer to play. not for big wins.

That is right but it can also be used to our advantage to some casinos for example.How?Simple when we keep playing longer slots and we are playing on a Rakeback enabled casino meaning that for every bet you get a tiny percentage of every bet you make back the longer you play and if you are winning also it means you will play much longer which will also increase the amount of Rakeback you are entitled to use even when you would have lost all of that money.The Rakeback balance can then be used on any game including sport betting which is something we all as gamblers should appreciate.

With the morale of Perez's winning the latest race I think he can win the pole position as well. However I'm also aware that this is a very far possibility.  Smiley

Awesome win man despite you not telling us what was your stake in dollars or crypto amount  Grin.I am sure that if the odd of Perez is good enough for the win we should all be on him to win but only if we are sure there won't be any rain which the forecasts say otherwise as they are saying chances of raining for this race are real.Next we should be sure that there won't be any Safety Car which honestly after seeing the qualifying yesterday with so many errors from the drivers for me it is a sure thing that Safety Car will be in track during the race of today/tonight.I have put all I had in sport betting but there is enough time until 21.30 and if I win some of the tickets I will place F1 bets then.

The win of Copa del Rey from Real will make many fans will think that it is just a warming up before the game on Tuesday against Manchester City but as I have said several times it won't be easy at all for Real Madrid in the Champions League.They have it as their main objective while City can even do without it as they are now comfortably ahead Arsenal in Premier League and most likely are the winners of it,still though they would want really bad the Champions League and I think that should be their primary objective also like Real Madrid.

Congrats to Real for winning the Copa del Rey but this was already known before even the game took place,Osasuna is far behind in quality compared to Real Madrid.

NVIDIA RTX 5090 to Leverage TSMC’s 3nm (N3) Node, Launching in Late 2024
The upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are planned for a late 2024 release. Like Ada, it will also be a monolithic design. According to Kopite7kimi, these GPUs will be fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm (N3) node. You can expect transistor counts of over a billion and densities of nearly 150 billion/mm². Blackwell should offer core clocks of over 3GHz and bus widths of up to 512 bits, resulting in memory bandwidths rivaling HBM memory.
https://www.hardwaretimes.com/nvidia-rtx-5090-to-leverage-tsmcs-3nm-n3-node-launching-in-late-2024/



For mining the bigger the number of transistors which the lower the nm production the bigger the numbers that can be fitted in should be a good choice (despite us not knowing what will happen to mining until 1.5 years from now).Rivaling the HBM memory is also a super good thing also as it means we would have much more algos to choose from when using these cards in mining.I wonder what will be AMD response to this as they did make an agreement to produce 4nm cards wtih Samsung but this news from Nvidia should clearly make them think as most likely they will lose the war again like every time against Nvidia in GPU market.

Roma lost the game against Inter Milan while Inter Milan couldn't get good results until a few weeks ago but these days we see Inter Milan In a good situation and especially after they use Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku in the same time they will have even better performance in the games, but I think with this playing style we saw from Roma they will lose the game against Leverkusen.

Roma had a difficult last 4 rounds in Serie A, they lost to Atalanta and Inter, drew with Milan and could not even beat Monza, this of course worsened their situation, the Buyer also lost the last game to Cologne and drew with Union Berlin, so I cannot give preference to any of the teams based on their results in their championships. Both teams will look to win this tournament to secure their spot in the Champions League. The first game in Rome, Mourinho will try to win, if this does not happen, the chances of Roma will decrease significantly, if he succeeds, then he will try to keep the draw away game.

Bayer Leverkussen has been not consistent at all recently but Roma has been even worse in their recent results.Mourinho may be a great coach but I like more the German mentality when they go and play in European competitions and they start with their "superiority" of being German,it is another thing if this works or not but psychologically they are in great shape and that is why for me I would lean a bit more in favor of Leverkussen to qualify further rather than Roma,this for a special reason,I have not seen Leverkussen in a final of European competition since 2001 or 2000 when they played in Champions League against Bayern Munchen.

Yeah not surprised. They really should of liquidated those GPUs during the POW days. The issue with those GPUs in particular is that they aren’t oriented for gaming. They got 1 output if I recall. So most likely no gamer will buy them.

Add in bad profitability and hence the price. The seller probably assumed ETHW or ETC would gain more market cap and it would remain profitable however months have gone by and not much has changed.

I think these rigs prices will even go more down with the passing of time and nothing happens in ETHW,ETC or ETF coins,these are the only GPU-s ETCHASH coins that can be mined,the top ones as there are others also but nothing is changing.I also changed from ETHW to ETC my mining rig only to get the money to my Atomic Wallet to directly exchange there in ZIL as I don't see that much other options for mining.With the passing of time most probably the people will start getting more angry and bored as they will see there is very little profit and sell even newer rigs at a very cheap price,I am exactly waiting for that moment.
ETHW, ETC or ETF are coins for mining with the help of asics. I don’t see any hope of making a profit on these coins. There is little profit at an electricity price of 5 cents, but after 5 years of mining, video cards need to work for at least 3 years. This is a bad lottery.

Yeah I have seen those Jasminer at just over 1 Ghsh for 340 watt power consumption and also the Ipollo Se and mini versions,they consume really low in terms of power and their hash rate is big enough,I think that you are right and maybe video cards are indeed a bad lottery which need to be changed for these types of efficient miners which anyone can keep in some space in their home no matter how small their home maybe,I love producers which make ASICS with low power consumption and a relatively good hash rate.If I had money to spare I would definitely buy that Jasminer X4 at 340 watt for 1040 Mhsh.
A new ASIC model Jasminer X16 has already been released: 1845 MH/s at 630w. In terms of its energy efficiency, it is more profitable than older models and more profitable than Antminer E9 Pro, but there will be problems with the purchase. Antminer E9 Pro is sold from many trusted vendors for 4-4.5 thousand dollars at retail. Jasminer X16 I think will cost the same, but now it has to wait about 2 months.

This clearly is a much better ASIC and I think it should be a great buy for anyone who has the money.For me I would buy the X4 if its price goes down with the release of this new one.Unfortunately there are not many people willing to sell used units of such good miners,even the E9 Pro which is more widely available I have checked locally and internationally and very few persons sell such devices,it means that there are people,a lot of them believing in the long term of mining success,I only wish had like 5000 dollars spare to buy one such device and keep it in my home and be extremely happy  Grin.
Jasminer are very expensive ASICs. Antminer E9 Pro will replace 7 Jasminer X4 ASICs. I think the Antminer E9 Pro update is coming soon and we will see even more hashrate to make the competitors lose out.

Jasminer X4 1U ETC 5G Miner 520Mh/s | BT-MINERS

Regular price$  1,999.00

This one though is not that expensive at 2000 dollars I think,considering that Bitmain rarely makes efficient miners in terms of consumption (and I mean in the low side of power consumption because they may be very efficient with devices with much higher hash rate) and this can run at home very stable and very good.

If I had to build a rig with 8 GPU-s to make it go to 520 mhsh I would most likely pay more money than 2000 dollars and surely that rig would need more maintenance than this X4 Asic device.I have never been a fan of ASICS exactly because of that higher power consumption but now seeing manufacturers that have lowered drastically the power consumption I am thinking seriously of owning one.

Newcastle vs Arsenal
West Ham vs Man Utd

I will be hoping for two home wins to keep Liverpool’s slim top 4 hopes alive.

I think that Arsenal has completely lost motivation now that they are 4 points behind Manchester City and Newcastle is a very strong team when playing at home in St.James Park.I think that Arsenal is going to lose in today game and I predict a game full of goals with Newcastle winning in the end.

For Manchester United though,despite I know very well their problems on the road during all this season we should also keep in mind that they usually get the three points on the road against teams in mid table or a bit lower than that so for me most likely Manchester United is going to get a narrow win in tonight game.

Charles Leclerc doing error after error during this qualifying which honestly with this last error we are seeing some really great starting grid for tomorrow,we see Perez first and Alonso second while Verstappen seventh,in between them a lot of unusual drivers for such high positions.The race tomorrow should not be missed based on this start that we have,we have an Aston Martin second and the other one in 18th place,we have a Russell in 2nd row and Hamilton starting 13th,it looks like it is going to be an awesome hell of a race and Leclerc saying sorry to the team in the radio means nothing for me.

Worst ever qualifying on US soil for Lewis Hamilton which is out of Q2 now and is 13th on the grid for tomorrow race.His team mate made it to the top ten being last there and Alfa Romeo made it to Q3 for the first time during this season.It is a strange track this one in Miami as the track conditions changed a lot during Q1 and Q2 and even drivers we are not used to see in top 10 there are a lot of them in Q3 now from not the greatest teams.

The only one who looks to not care much about track conditions is Verstappen which is doing fastest laps even when he comes out first of the pits and even when he comes in the last 2 minutes,Leclerc seems to have found pace,it looks interesting for tomorrow race no matter what happens in this final session of the official qualifying.

What a piece of shit you are Joao Felix, you blow my exact score...

And Villa i need that goal a draw.

Manchester City really strange game, and really few goals i didnt spect that, Leeds its by far the worst team defending in the league, also City its struggling a lot to close the games in the last two games at home.

I thought with these results I would have lost at least some 5 places but I saw that everybody else did not do well in this strange week for results in Premier League.Liverpool is winning 1-0 for the second time or do I remember wrong here and this is really strange,a team like Liverpool who loves to score as many goals as possible and also Tottenham which usually makes games where a lot of goals are scored ended 1-0,the same for Aston Villa which for me was the biggest surprise of the week as a result,two consecutive lost games for them means their good results have ended and lately really surprised for the good by the Chelsea win.

Have to admit am a bit confused here, we had a Friday pole decider last race, but today it's back to normal Saturday right? Ferrari seems a bit happy even if Leclerc ended FP2 early, as the car appears to be all right. He's not even on my podium though, suspect he ends the race with incident.

Russell will be upset he didn't retain his FP1 performance but I guess I should be happy I stuck with Verstappen in pole... and guess who but Tsunoda back in my finishing at #10. Will need Ocon or someone else to crash out though heh.

Qualifying session is organized on Friday on the weeks that there are sprint races. There is a calendar like this I have found for that after checking it. Maybe it would be better if cls63 adds this calendar into the first post.

Russell has started to fall behind Hamilton in the recent weeks. I didn't like his performance in the practice sessions very much.

I think you are right but this is normal.When you have not a winning car the motivation keeps falling and you think about the race "oh it is just another race weekend" and that is why Russell is starting to fall behind.In the latest Practice 3 that finished 19 PM in European time the Mercedes screwed up really big but I believe in the official qualifying starting just one hour from now I am confident that they will be in the top ten.

The race I am sure will be much more interesting than Baku was last week,the track is more technical and shorter which will hopefully make some fights between different manufacturers during the race and I am hopeful for an eventful race tomorrow.

I'm not an expert when it comes to different terms in sportsbook and gambling. I usually place bets on X to win, X to score etc in cricket and soccer both. I have never seen the terms "back" and "lay" in any Casino. Maybe I didn't notice them. I joined a casino today and found both terms and I'm confused what should I do. It says back (1.03) and Lay (1.04). What does these terms mean? Any easy explanation?

I have not seen such terms in reputable casinos and maybe the casino where you are seeing is not one of such but in most casinos where I play I only see money lines which should be the equivalent of back and I am assuming Lay should be the equivalent of Asian Handicap.

I advise you to stop playing in such casinos as the terms are quite confusing even for me which I am playing from a long time,you should play in the casinos that have a great ANN thread here in this very section as by playing in those casinos you even risk even worse things,like not getting your money.Anyway if you tell us the name of the casino we can give better insights.

Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.

I don't even think if real madrid has been dropping so hard. I meant we are talking about UCL. Real madrid may be having bad results in the previous matches on la liga but it's quite different when it comes to the UCL. Real madrid is still having good win rate at this moment as well as manchester city. Ancelotti is putting a lot of his focus in the match against manchester city caused by it will become the hardest match for real madrid. It will be even far harder compared with the match against barcelona. Real Madrid needs to take serious preparation right now.

De bruyne is coming back right now. Real madrid needs to use everything to stop haaland. Haaland is the main problem for real madrid. As long as real madrid knew how to stop him and it's gonna be a very important thing for madrid to win the game against city in santiago bernabeu.

I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real.

Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again.
