I think the type of players like him can perform well even in the strongest league in the world I would judge the Premier League,in no other places we see title runner up like Arsenal failing at home and barely equalizing against the last place there Southampton.Italian league in fact for me is more difficult to score goals than the Premier League as in Italy most teams play defensively most of the times and games in these last couple of years have been boring,really boring there while in England the teams play a much more open football in general and players like Victor Osimhen with the quality he has can shine even brighter than he is doing in Italy with Napoli.

Napoli has already won the title and the city of Naples is set on fire with blue flags anywhere,people enjoying in the streets and screaming Victor Osimhen name as the main guy who contributed more than any other to this title which is exactly 33-34 years later than the last one they won in Maradona time.

Yesterday Italian TV was asking people who were young at age and that they didn't see and enjoy the last title of the distant year 1989-1990 and they all answered the same "we are going to celebrate for at least until the first game of the next Champions League" meaning they are going to celebrate until August/September 2023.I don't blame them as I would do the same if my team had over 30 years without winning the title and they win it.

The problem I would say are not developed countries but the "so called" countries under development that they have a super high level of corruption and they are not capable of managing their great natural resources all by themselves as they lose by doing so,so they need inevitably the help of the greater powers,it is not the great powers that are using them,it may be in some cases but in most case these countries need a supervision and what better supervisor than one of such great countries.

In the end it all depends on how you see the glass of water,some see it half empty and some others half full.

I think this is just to concord with Hague International Court so they are saying to Hague since they are a member that if Putin comes here we will arrest him.The truth though is much different and that is even if Putin goes there which I doubt he will but in the case he goes I don't think anyone would dare arresting here as this would create an even bigger mess than the one already in Ukraine and would move balances which are in place so far.The fact that BRICS have a lot of disagreement between them adds to the fact that most likely Putin won't go there and nothing will happen.

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.

Every sport is affected.Soccer even more and let me tell you a funny story of a fixed game here in the country where I reside,there was a team who needed to win the Championship here (now they have been banned 10 years from all competitions,international ones I mean) and that team came in the game against one team that needed critically the points to be safe from relegation.In this team that relegated only a few players were playing at maximum power and most of the players already knew or they were told by the team president to let this game and relegate,so those players were funny as they tried hard but they didn't know anything about the upper level management and this is a joke we fans keep telling from now and then every time our team loses a game.

Since gambling started in 1998 I have said several other times the number of surprise results in a league has increased in a really enormous way.

I got lucky in tonight games as I got 4 points out of six and I doubt anyone to have predicted a correct score to Liverpool honestly although I would not be surprised if anyone did  Grin.I thought Liverpool to win 3-1 which was my prediction on the pool and I also had Manchester City 3-0 as correct score which I luckily got it.

It does not matter when Manchester City finished the job,the first half or the second as long as they get the three points and are now one point ahead Arsenal with one game less,things look pretty easy for Manchester City to become Champions of the Premier League now.

Ferrari are having so much difficulty in tyre management. With the affect of its being hot in Miami tyre wear can give Ferrari a headache. Mercedes were quite disappointing to me in the last race. Hamilton's saying at the end of the race that Sainz was faster than him on straights even when DRS was active is summarizing the situation. We will all see if we will watch a Perez-Verstappen rivalry or Horner will protect Verstappen.

I don't think Horner is going to protect anyone in this season,he will leave the battle going otherwise the F1 season of 2023 will be closed in early stages as no other team no matter how hard they try won't be able to surpass Redbull seeing what they have brought to the table so far.Hamilton is a great driver but even the best driver at the wrong car or not the best one does not win Championships,well except Senna maybe who even won races with Lotus which was one of the weakest cars if I remember correctly and even if he did not win,I am sure that was a Monaco race that they called void because of the rain where Senna was second and was near passing the top guy,should have been 1984 or 1985.

We would all love a competition going on,even if it is between a team as long as they are left to race but even if Horner allows it I have a lot of reserves for Perez,his inconsistency is what I believe will not let him win any title.
3709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Power Supply on: May 03, 2023, 08:03:48 PM
Buying a 500w power supply for two GPUs that require 400 watts total sounds as it would work, but I would recommend going with a higher wattage power supply to give yourself more headroom. If you're building with modularity in mind, you'll need to consider the power consumption of any additional components you plan to add. You'll also want to make sure that the power supply you buy has enough PCIe power connectors to support all of your GPUs.
500w power supply is an office power supply, and as a rule there is one 8-pin connector. An 8-pin connector can pass power up to 288 watts, respectively, 2 connectors for 500-600 watts are difficult to use.
And now the market is full of ATX and server blocks at a cheap price.

I have run about 6 Nvidias Gtx 1050 ti without connectors that took power from the motherboard with just a Be Quiet Dark Power 550 watt while I have run 2 x Rx 580 8GB with a Corsair 500 watt PSU,meaning that the best options for the mining rig of 3060 ti-s should be a 1300 Evga power supply which will run them smoothly without burden on the PSU and they make some of the best quality power supplies out there,they to some models go much further offering a 10 year warranty (don't know if they still do this but they used to do this a lot).

This power supply can run up to 8 cards with burden,I mean it will be using about 85-95% of all power and it will constrain the PSU but I know this runs such cards and 8 of these near 500 Mhsh a considerable amount for just a mining rig I would say.

No need to try and find other power supplies as the price difference will be small but the quality leap will be big if you get the wrong one.
3710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Another bad experience with Rtx 4080 on: May 03, 2023, 07:46:21 PM



The video card was bought by my colleague less than two weeks ago. The warranty service refused to repair.
A fellow miner with experience, but late noticed a problem with overheating of the power connector.
I do not recommend video cards with this 12 pin connector, as if it was invented against mining.

Was this having a 2 x 6 PCIE-x connectors or a single 12 pin connectors as most likely 2 x 6 PCIE-x connectors should somewhat not make the card overheat,for Rtx 4080 is the first time I am seeing this and I guess this is plain bad luck because I have not seen this en mass like I used to see a lot of complaints for the 4090 card which of course with that power consumption was going to overheat a lot and it was for me a bad design from Nvidia but for 4080 first time I am hearing here,maybe not a lot of people have bought these cards yet.

By the way was your colleague using such recommended cable as per Nvidia specs as from what I see there they wanted a "3x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter in box) OR
450 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable"

So yes, playing against Juventus will in fact still give Sevilla a chance to win, but that doesn't mean I consider Juventus weak because in fact Juventus' performance seems to be steadily declining. Thus, Juventus and Sevilla have a different trend where Juventus is becoming unstable, but Sevilla seems to be more consistent and stable in this moment.
The conditions are still possible for both teams because regardless of anything the opportunity is still there.
The first leg Juventus will play at home is clearly favorable for them but with this in mind I feel that Sevilla will still follow the same strategy by trying to draw the game and make a splash for the second leg at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

I think Juventus is in a great form but so is Sevilla lately except the last game at home where they lost 0-2 against a team at the same level as them in La Liga.Juventus won tonight against Lecce in Italy and it is in second place so far in Serie A and individually Juventus I think it has better players.I think so because I don't think Sevilla has players of the caliber of Di Maria or Vlahovic beside some other strong names and therefore I strongly agree with you that Juventus is a heavy favorite in the first leg that will be played in Turin.

Of course Sevilla at home has shown that plays great games in Europa League and their destroying of Manchester United is a great proof of such thing so anything can happen in this 2 tier encounter.

Why we even comment here...Putin explained it all more than a year ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qS6J-WbTD8

Sure, if putin explained it then no questions and discussions are already a priori needed.

Now let's wait for him to explain the situation with his "attempted murder". This, however, will take time, because he needs to figure out how to explain the fact that the invulnerable russian air defense missed the drones directly to the residence of the president (who, oh, how convenient, of course, was not there).

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/05/03/world/russia-ukraine-news

Interestingly enough, they argue that it is terrorism. They are still trying to confuse their own people about what they have been brought into - in a war, you can be expected your centres of command to be attacked and that includes ministries, government buildings and other key strategic targets, including Generals and even their dictator. All those targets are legitimate, as opposed to a Mall, a hospital and areas with nothing but civilians.

In practical terms I am not sure this is drone attack. There seems to be something exploding above the flag so if it is a drone, it is probably a statement - a message saying "you cannot even keep your capital safe" - rather than something that could potentially kill or cause any real damage other than by mistake.

https://youtu.be/_Hp8YuhzJYY




Things have changed dramatically for Russia in these last days,especially in the regions bordering with Ukraine and Crimea,a lot of explosions in ammunition depot and train derailing becoming a common thing these days,for me clearly these messages are preliminary to another spring counter offensive by Ukrainian forces,there has no other way to be as all the meetings with the Western Powers and all the modern weapons and training of their soldiers needs to translate into something and this something is going to be a new counter offensive.

The drone attack if it was not an inside job is a clear message to all the people in Russia,you are not safe with such government and you should wake up against them.

Slots can be very addictive to anybody, learn to always control yourself first and have a daily number of turning you plan to do, if you lose money do not continue for that day, try another day, and if the losses keeps going on for like a week without any good wins they find another one casino slots, some online casino are not so cool and they are very food at making you lose all your money.

After losing some rounds of slots and you win a round but the money isn't enough to cover the amount you have lost, control yourself and take the money, do not continue to play the slots, I have learned the hard ways with slots, and now even if I lost 50$ and I got lucky making 51$ back I will leave and try again another day.

The reason why people keep losing money is they don't know when to stop, slots game is just clicking a button and hoping for a luck.

Every time I see the name of this thread it makes me feel bad.I keep losing the bonus I receive from the casino in slot machines and today I played 800.000 IDR near 55 dollars by buying the bonus game at Gate of Olympus.Grandpa Zeus there was very stingy today as the max multiplier I got was a mere x15 while he teased the f out of me by showing at least three times x100 and x250 as multipliers but those were empty spins,I was waiting for such multipliers by playing for more than 6 hours until I lost all this bonus money trying to get that huge multiplier who would give me the max win,it keeps deceiving me and I assume you and many others because slots are truly addicted.

Disappointing season for my team LFC, but to have to try to keep winning and hope for a miracle like Newcastle or Man Utd to blow up.

5th is probably the best we can do but it’s better than ending up in that crap Conference League.

We play Fulham & Brentford in back to back home games this week. Here’s hoping for 6 points and a slip up by Newcastle or Man Utd.

Yeah, if we win this stretch of 5 games, I'll actually be happy even with Europa... honestly even with Conference (but we can't get worse than Europa if we win everything left huh).

Mainly because it will mean we actually can play and win with our fit squad (all the attackers, that is), and even with a creaking midfield (I say this being about 10 years older than them heh)... so it will hopefully mean even a less-than-desired upgrade (read as not Bellingham) could do wonders.

But next season I'll always worry, what if we get a couple of injuries again to our front?

I think Liverpool has no difficult games ahead and Europa League I think is a great achievement for this season gone ashtray since early on.Now it looks like Liverpool has found the gear again and is going,really entertaining game against Tottenham last week but we need to make sure that no team can equalize us as easy as Tottenham did.Tonight I think we should comfortably win against a Leeds that is suffering throughout all this season and there is no reason for Liverpool to lose points tonight,everything seems fit for another victory for Liverpool which as I said has found the rhythm again.
3715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: May 03, 2023, 04:14:29 PM
And this is something that Qatar never even considered, one of the things that they used to win the right to host the torunament was that the middle east was yet to host the World Cup, and FIFA in their attempt to bring the World Cup to every region of the world wanted to give Qatar a chance, but now that we have seen the treatment they gave to the tourists that visited their country for this event then FIFA is going to be way more wary about organizing such a big event there, when there were so many restrictions during the Qatar World Cup.
If FIFA wants to kill the excitement and the glamour of the world cup let them allow any Islamic country to host the next competition. The complaints of violation of human rights, exploitation of workers, and stringent condition placed on football fans are still fresh in the memory of the world, so they should let us heal from these traumatic experience. These issues were fuelled by the kind of political system these countries operates. These nations are ruled by autocratic leaders that control the press, economy, and all sectors of the country.

The next four world cups should be hosted by democratic nations that promote the freedom of all citizens. Football fans should be able to enjoy the world cup without restriction. A country where workers will be protected from harm and paid based on the stipulated minimum wage. For now, no nation in the Middle East should host the world cup unless there is a concrete agreement to handle these issues.

I agree with you but completely, whenever you enter another country as a visitor you should respect the rules in fact if you accepted to visit that country you also accepted the rules of that country, that's why It's not a mistake from hosts when they have some restriction about drinks or another thing it's all because FIFA should consider many other factors because they let a country host the world cup.

There were alcohol for the fans even in Qatar as Qatar knows they restrict many things as they are a Muslim country but they are not extremists and so deep underground for anyone who wanted alcohol could easily find it,for everyone who wanted hookers could easily find them during their stay in Qatar,Qatar are not UFO they are normal people like the rest of us who restrict themselves because of their religion but no matter how strong a religion is there will always be some side effects to it like the World Cup that was hosted there.

Now luckily all of the above is in abundance in the hosting countries of the 2026 World Cup and FIFA have nothing to worry about,it will go as smooth as always and hopefully it will be played in summer because when played in winter it was a really bad and not entertaining World Cup.
3716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 03, 2023, 03:46:43 PM
Yesterday's La Liga match the home team successfully won, in three matches between Barcelona vs Osasuna, Almeria vs Elche and Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid. The Barcelona team had difficulty winning in that match, although Osasuna played with ten players. While Almeria was very easy to get the win, they led very well in the first half. But the most surprising thing for me personally was Real Sociedad, they succeeded in securing three points from Real Madrid. Now Real Madrid position is really unsafe, because Atletico Madrid is likely to win in today game against Cadiz.


That happens when Real Madrid has completely lost interest in the La Liga and their full focus is in the Champions League and they have to face a really difficult opponent there,Manchester City enjoying the best of their form.It happens for Real Sociedad to win as all the Spanish teams when they are playing against Real Madrid have an extra motivation as they are playing against one of the team with the most La Liga titles and the queen of the Champions League so that is why I am not surprised by such result at all.

Now Atletico should have an easy win tonight as their form is perfect compared to most other teams in La Liga and I doubt very much that Cadiz will give them real problems if they play like they do.Usually Atletico Madrid wins games early on and if they fail to score early they will have a difficult night then.

Cremonese are also in the relegation zone maybe but their job is much harder than Verona. I don't think they would be as motivated as Verona to get points against Milan. Roma should also be able to beat Monza away. Monza can make difficulties for big teams sometimes but I don't think this will be one of those in which they get points.
Talking about the teams who possibly to relegation i think Cremonese chances to survive in Serie A is very slim because currently they have 20 points from 32 matches which mean they have 7 difference points below to Verona and to cut gap points between them and Verona is really hard for them especially with their currently conditions who always loses in almost every matches and in my opinion 2 spots for relegation is belongs to Sampdoria and Cremonese but for Verona there is a chance for them to avoid this zone but only if they can able to performing well and managed their consistency

Verona and Cremonese will faced strong teams today that Verona will attempt to get the winning result from Inter and Cremonese will fight against Milan and if we see the conditions from both teams i think possibly they both will be lose today but if Verona can able to stole points from Inter today i think their chance to avoid the relegation zone is increasingly open

I think Cremonese and Sampdoria are already relegated as they stand no real chances to beat Verona.Verona is in a big fight against some other teams but their home form is good enough and I think they may give us all a big surprise in tonight game against Inter.Inter needs the win also as they are in a big fight for the Champions League spot for the next season so I expect a both teams to score yes in this game and the odd is well over 2 for such bet because both teams will play aggressively trying to secure the win which for Verona would be some breath at least momentarily while for Inter it would strengthen their position in their fight for the Champions League.

Congratulations to Arsenal for the massive victory they got from Chelsea to returned back to their first position in the premier league table. Chelsea performance was very poor in the first half that made many of their fans to leave the field, because what they were displaying in the first half showed that Arsenal are in a good position to achieve the victory from them which they did by defeated Chelsea 3-1 to embraced the three points. I think, Chelsea coach has a lot of work to do to improve their defenders because some of the mistakes they made that gave Arsenal players to scored the three goals in the first half is from their defenders because they are not well organized in the first half.
But it's not that easy bro, Arsenal will only be temporarily above Manchester City and the rest, let's see the upcoming match, Manchester City will play against West Ham and it will not be a tough opponent for Manchester City.
The difference of 2 points is very easy for Manchester City to catch up to the difference in points and I'm sure Manchester City will win and take back the first place.

In fact, Arsenal is not above Manchester City in the league and this situation can change, because Manchester City played two games less than Arsenal, and even with two matches less, still Arsenal got only two points more than Manchester City, that's why I think even if Macnshter City lose some points during the remaining games in this season they still have a higher chance than Arsenal to win the league.

Arsenal is a sure thing for me that will not be Premier League Champions this year and the only one to blame for this is Arsenal.Manchester City was up to 9 or more points behind and it is now just 2 points behind with 2 games less not because of Manchester City super form which is a fact but because Arsenal did their best to throw this title away,this in fact reminds me of people saying that you need a lot of experience to win the title and in these last years the experience that City has gained in such regard is much better than that of Arsenal.

I think there is nothing to see here,we will see a Manchester City crushing West Ham based on their recent form which they are beating anyone in every competition,they have made enough errors and mistakes in the beginning of the Premier League that they are now in this situation,I am pretty confident that again here on Manchester City there is free money to be made,the same as it was with Arsenal yesterday night.

Chelsea is in a misery state and Arsenal took full profit of the situation,I am wondering now when we will see a Chelsea win as it is a really looooooooooooooong time we haven't seen any.
