Yeah, result isn't strange, but things in betting markets were not usual. There was huge bets made on over 3.5 goals, like $300k or $500k. Unfortunately, I can find only russian article about  it: https://ua.tribuna.com/football/1096858915-aleksandr-denisov-stavki-na-match-minaj-shaxter-byli-po-300-500-tysyac.html
Also, unofficial team manager Oleksandr Sevidov, who started to work in Minaj just month ago is currently banned from footbal for 5 years for being involved in match fixing. Coincidence? I don't think so. Officially he works as advisor in the team, since he aren't allowed to manage team.

One their player that game was delayed because their bus arrived to the stadium too late. Other said that they didn't wanted to play and risk their reputation in case if they will suffer big loss. Team manager in press conference that he only want to talk about game and allegation about fixing is nonsense.

Yes, bet on over 3.5 goals on this game looks reasonsble, despite that Shakhtar were playing quite shitty. But as I understand, number of bets made on over 3.5 goals was significantly bigger than on casual similar level game, what made it to look suspicious.

Today there was very interesting case of potentially fixed game in Ukraine Premier League.
Some strange things happened in markets before Minaj and Shakhtar Donetsk game. Odds for Minaj win went from 27 to 44. Also, so many people started to bet on over 3.5 goals that some bookmakers removed this game from market. When I made bet for over 3.5, it was @1.60, but 30 minutes before game it was just 1.37.
And then, Minaj players simply refused to play because of allegations. Later they changed their mind, but game started 35 minutes later than planned. And how unexpected, game ended with Shakhtar win 4:0.
As far as I know, Minaj players aren't getting paid, so it's nothing surprising that they got involved in dirty things. And loss tonight means that they will drop to second division.
If you're interested, you can see highlights of game:

If before season somone would have said that Chelsea will play in Champions final this year, I would have called that person dumb. Chelsea got very lucky that PSG sacked Tuchel - it's amazing what he did with this team.
What a solid game today, no chance for Real. Before game I was wondering why bookmakers gives such obvious advantage for Chelsea. Tonight's game showed that it wasn't without a reason.

OP, you haven't listed many covid vaccines like Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and some less known vaccines. Without these, your poll results won't represent anything.
Personally, I think that most us can't say which one vaccine is the best. Most of us don't have medical education and now it's nothing more than popularity contest.
3%? Did I read it right? Shouldn't it something like 30%? I tried to look for more data about this vaccine and there is lot of different numbers. From what I found, efficiency of Sinovac vaccine is between 50% and 78% according to different researches.

Why to ask such strange questions? How do you imagine such thing? Why EU would need to accept country from South Asia and why Pakistan would need to join EU? It's not how things works in politics.
Forget about USA, China, Russia, UK or Germany. Here comes Pakistan - most powerful country in the world.

Why it's terrible? It's obvious that he isn't asking his real name or other sensitive personal information.

Hey, don't speak for everyone . If you check how many responses @zasad@ thread with questions got, it wouldn't be right to say that nobody likes to answer such questions. Offcourse, merits played it's role there, but I think that even without, there would be many responses.
I doubt that theymos will respond to these questions, but if he would it, it would so damn interesting. We really don't know much about our boss.

Unfortunately, I never interacted with him personally. But he left significant mark in Bitcointalk history, especially in Collectibles board. I'm not frequent visitor there, so I can't describe him as person in detail. But if you'll check his memorial thread or his trust page, you'll see that he was great man and Bitcointalk community will never forget him.

Guys, what do you think about Mourinho in Roma? For me this move is very unexpected and it will be another reason to watch  Serie A next season.
I think that he have even less chance to win something with Roma than in Spurs. Expectations is big, but c'mon, Roma is miles away from Inter, Juventus. Milan, Atalanta or Napoli is also way better than them. And it's possible that they won't even qualify to UEFA competition next season. Even if they will, it will be just third tier competition called UEFA Conference League. Winning this trophy wouldn't very prestigious and big thing.
Also, it's interesting that Mkhitaryan had conflicts with Mou back in MU times. Wouldn't be surprised if he will leave Roma summer.
Mourinho got 3 year contract, but I would give him max 1.5 year until he will be sacked.

City is simply great and deserved to reach final. PSG today made 0 shots on target - it says a lot about this game. Absence of Mbappe was huge factor tonight. And what I noticed that PSG players simply lose their heads when they are loosing, it happened today, it happened multiple times in Ligue 1 this season. That red flag of Di Maria is best example of it - what an idiot.

I have a bit similar syndrome. I tend to pay less attention to posts made by users who participate in non-Bitcoin paying campaigns. Especially if it's made by users who isn't familiar for me. Maybe now it's not that big problem, but few years ago when bounties where bigger thing, reading posts by bounty participants was big waste of time.
And I don't hide signatures and avatars. I wear paid signature myself, so I would be hypocrite if I would do this.
My campaign requires 20 posts a week and I think that 20-25 is optimal number. Bigger requirements would significantly reduce quality of posts I think.
But still, when I have bussy week or I don't find interesting topics to post, sometimes reaching even 20 posts isn't that easy.

It's strange to see romours that Mexico GP can be cancelled. There is half year left until this race and with things like vaccination, I don't see any reasons why they would need to cancel this race.
Indianapolis road circuit would be interesting choice. Last time race there were held probably 15 years ago, so barely can remember how good or bad race there was. Only thing which stuck in my mind when there just 6 cars started in race.

I think it's also about workloads for moderators and their responsibility. Imagine what if they would to check every scam accusation, all topics in Reputation board and make decision whether someone is scammer or no. And don't forget their main job - moderating forum. I think it would be too much for them and I think current system when everything is left for community to judge. Though, it's far for perfect...
I think that account sales isn't forbidden because it would be difficult to prevent such things. Even if you have extra information like IP logs, it's not always proof that account changed hands.
But yeah, there is some things which never was clear for me, like why it was completely OK to sell accounts in past, escrow for account sales or using it as collateral.

LOL, you really made me laugh . When I saw OP's username, my first thought also was Christian Benteke .

Maybe because name of website is FreeBitco.in, not FreeAltco.in
But yeah, it would be nice if they would start supporting altcoin deposits. I remember they planned to support few main altcoins year or two ago, but so far it wasn't implemented. When transaction fees is so high, Bitcoin deposit isn't good option.

Very difficult, nervous, but such important win. Honestly, after 1st half I thought that our title race come to the end. These feelings become even stronger after Paulista goal.
But then Barca wake up. Now I just don't understand what I thought when I made under 3.5 goals bet on this game. When you look at H2H results, it doesn't happens that often.
Next round can be decisive in league. Barca will face Atletico, while Real will play against Sevilla. Lot of questions may be answered there, already can't wait for next weekend.

Yeah, it wasn't most exciting race, I expected for something more in this track. Hamilton was great today, his overtake over Verstappen was perfect. Good race for Perez - after all, 4th place is his best result in Red Bull so far. Maybe 8th place doesn't sounds sexy, but it was solid race for Alonso.
And Kimi big mistake was something what you don't expect from most experienced F1 driver.
Next GP after less than week in Barcelona - one of the most boring tracks in my opinion, if we exclude city circuits.

It's easy to talk about qualification, but I think that pick between these drivers isn't that difficult. Choose between Russel and Kimi. Haas car this year isn't competetive at all this year, so Schumacher have no chance. While Latifi is worst driver in F1 after Mazepin IMO. If there will be such bet in next race, I would pick Russel, it's not first qualification when he showed solid result.

Race is after just more than hour. Does anyone really believe that Bottas can win it? Personally, I hardly see such scenario.

Until I read your post, I didn't knew that Vod left forum. I can say that I will miss him here. After all, he was one of oldest active membees here and he contributed a lot. Yeah, I know that there was long time dispute between him and OgNasty, I don't know who is right there, and, honestly, I couldn't care less - it's not my business. I just hope that Vod will do fine outside forum.
You can love them or hate, but I think that forum lost too many long time members in recent time like Vod, Lauda or TMAN. And some of them like Bruno or TECSHARE left us forever...

Yeah, getting participants for EURO pool shouldn't be difficult. But we already had Copa America pool in 2019 and there was 10 players:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5146493.0. I think we can get at least 10-15 players this time. Main issue that EURO and Copa America will be played on same time, so probably Copa will get less interest because of this. But I like that this summer we will have football all day all night .

Can't remember about EURO 2016, probably prediction pools on Bitcointalk 5 years ago wasn't thing yet. But we really had pool for World Cup in 2018, it was fun thing.

^^
Thanks for Milan analysis, folks. As I already said, my knowledge about Serie A isn't deep enough, but I also got impression that Miland squad depth and quality isn't good enough to compete with Inter, Juventus and even Atlanta or Napoli. Injuries didn't helped them too.
@Trofo, wow, it's nice numbers. I didn't knew that there is extra prize for yellow cap winner, but unfortunately it's mission impossible to reach tyKiwanuka - 24 points per round is something extraordinary. I'm already waiting for next season and despite that Serie A isn't my league, I'm definitely going to join prediction pool next season. Also, I hope that you or hilarious will make pool for EURO 2020. I just realised that we have Copa America this year also - maybe it can be interesting too.
