Champions League Qualifications - Finals Round 2.

Dinamo Zagreb hosting Young Boys tonight. I think Dinamo are a great home team and will most likely make it to the CL group stage. Dinamo to win in regulation @ 2.20 odds.

Ajax are visiting Dinamo Kyiv after winning 3-1 in the Netherlands in the first leg. I am expecting another high-scoring match. BTTS & over 2.5 goals.

Last match of the day is AEK - MOL. I like BTTS and FT draw in that game. The Greek team is leading 2-1 after the first leg. I think it will be a tight match without lots of goals probably 1-1 FT.

Cheers!

Oh man what a disastrous night that was. Why did Jose Mourinho enter the pitch and start clapping and congratulating his players and the fans was a completely mystery to me. I was like "What the heck is this guy doing? Has he gone mad?" And Ed Woodward was in the stands and he didn't looked amused at all. Mourinho should get his stuff together or at least gracefully make his exit before another embarrassing blunder gets him sacked this time for real.

And Lukaku wasted a huge opportunity to put United ahead... Mourinho was so disappointed at that open goal miss that I could almost see him double-facepalming at the sideline lol  I think we will see some goals in the 2nd half as both defences are flimsy and defenders mistakes are mounting up. Did anyone else bet on the 0-0 HT? 

Chasing losses is very dangerous and can blow up your bankroll in no time. It's very easy to get carried away with reckless gambling which can multiply the initial loss manyfold or even destroy your entire bankroll without you even noticing it as you are too busy trying to recover that lost $100... Been there and seen that many times. Bankroll management and damage control are of utmost importance as well as suppressing one's emotions.

I started betting long before Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin  I think my journey began on the Betfair exchange. I was green and inexperienced and didn't know what I was doing. If I remember correctly I got lucky a couple of times and got that false sense of complacency which led to some disastrous miscalls that wiped me out. I am not completely sure about my first ever bet though - it was either football or ice hockey. Nevertheless I learned some hard lessons that shaped me as the bettor I am today.

Hmmm Lukaku, Pogba and Lingard for United at the front, not too convincing an attack if you ask me. Unless Lukaku explodes in the first half or Tottenham makes a grave mistake or something crazy happens, I think the first half is gonna be slow and possibly a 0-0 draw at half-time considering Mourinho tactics. I am gonna bet my favorite BTTS @ 1.75 though. Cheers and happy watching everyone.

First off I am not a proponent of Martignale in the slightest, but I have to admit I have heard stories about gamblers using Martingale to bet on roulette in brick-and-mortar casinos and consistently winning. Now I don't visit casinos much so I can't vouch for those, however I have tried running Martingale with really low stakes on crypto dice sites and always ended up getting busto after a ridiculously long losing streak. Yeah these things do happen a lot  and you are not immune to them not happening to you. Martingale is too much risk for minimal gain and I say it's not worth it. I wouldn't risk running my bankroll into the ground for laughable profit.

Yeah Watford are surprisingly(or not?!) super high-flying at the moment and they kinda reminded me of Leicester City amazing feat a few seasons back. I don't seriously think that Watford have any chances of winning the title but still wouldn't that be incredible?  I would love any champion but City 

Boom, boom and boom! 3 out of 4 not too shabby right?   Almost got a perfect score this evening had it not been for that unlucky last minute own goal by Yedlin. Man I love betting on goals it's just so much easier than trying to guess the winners   And it's the Premier League - the most exciting championship in the world we shouldn't be expecting boring draws  

I am not sure if the lost coins will remain lost forever by the way. Current computer machines might not be up to the task of breaking Bitcoin's cryptographic security, but future high-powered quantum computers might be able to recover long-lost wallets with lots of coins on them or  God forbid, even be used to brute force one's way into other people's wallets. Now this might sound like something from a sci-fi movie, but in the distant future Bitcoin might get compromised. Nothing is future-proof.

Watford - Crystal Palace BTTS @ 1.80
Fulham - Burnley BTTS @ 1.95
Newcastle - Chelsea BTTS @ 1.80

Also Newcastle - Chelsea FT Draw @ 4

I am thinking Newcastle will make Chelsea drop some points today and have a feeling the match might end in a draw so gonna try my luck with that one. Cheers!

Well I prefer to keep my Bitcoin stash private. If I feel like I am about to kick the bucket I will surely pass my private keys to the closest trusted relative I have. It's not like I am Scrooge McDuck sitting on a treasure trove so if I die unexpectedly it's not going to be such a huge monetary loss for my family. But I am definitely not going to trust an attorney with my Bitcoin wallet. If it's gone forever so be it.

Hmmm wouldn't accepting digital currency donations allow campaigners to embezzle funds more easily? Like one could possibly lie about the total amount of donations and just get some coins out of the pot and run them through a mixer or something. I think there will be a lot of misappropriation of money going on in such a scenario.

I think Iceland is the leading country when it comes to environmentally friendly crypto mining on an industrial scale. Here is an excerpt from a very informative article:


Iceland has a naturally cold climate and a lot of renewable energy sources which make this little country a sought-after destination for crypto mining companies.

Financial writers who write fiction haha These trending predictions by 'financial experts' are dime a dozen nowadays and don't hold true whatsoever. Bitcoin is the last thing to ever succeed the banking system as it's very easy to pull the plug on any crypto. Do you think the world leaders will let commoners have financial freedom in some magical Internet money? So much wishful thinking 

Speaking about defences, I am watching Arsenal - West Ham at the moment, and the Gunners are absolutely awful on defence. Also, the linesmen made some glaring mistakes stopping a goal scoring attack by Arnautovic for offside. From what I saw in the video replay there was no offside. I think the Premier League should implement VAR for next season And West Ham should have been in the lead already.

I think United players still want to play under Mourinho otherwise they would have already covertly boycotted the manager and failed on purpose like Leicester City players did to Claudio Ranieri and got him sacked. I reckon it hasn't gotten to the boiling point yet where the board would be massively disappointed in Mourinho but it's slowly getting there lol. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Mourinho is probably the most respected by the players manager United have had since Ferguson.

Bitcoin will not be accepted directly by banks for a sheer amount of reasons. Believing so is nothing more than a pipe dream. There are so many convenient ways to exchange crypto for fiat nowadays around the world without the need for a traditional bank. As a matter of fact, banks even frown upon transactions coming from or going to crypto exchanges so the possibility for them accepting Bitcoin naturally is close to zero.

You could use a VPN to circumvent the ISP block, but in the rare event that any of these crypto sites ask for your ID and find out you are based in a country on the ban list your account might get closed. As for the Italian players being blocked, I guess some sites just don't want any legal troubles and it's easier for them to stop the whole traffic from a given country.

Yay the weekend is here!   Time to get some fun parlays in Putting my faith in the underdogs again and hoping they won't disappoint... again. Oh who am I kidding lol
