Well, a well-run exchange should theoretically always make money, bear or bull, since it relies on revenue from commissions. Traders go either direction, the exchange benefits. So it's not really like they stand to lose, though arguably fewer people are interested in a bear market.

It's not unusual though to see other types of service/product companies advertise or develop, even fundraise, since the interest in a bear market tends to shear away the speculator types.

Seen a few HODL type apps now on Brave ads too.

^ There is also a small hope that Sainz won't listen to team orders (they will always of course say they do and that's standard) -- if we recall, that's exactly how he won British GP. Team defended him and he himself didn't outright admit it, but he did have a kinda valid argument at the time (he felt he could better defend LeClerc against a supposedly faster car.

For something insignificant, some how merits people publishing and republishing the news though

Anyway, I never thought the Bitcoin buys ever budged the market beyond a few hours of activity only scalpers would benefit from. Same as the Bitcoin sells.

It's long-term and medium-term trends (volume) that matter much more than what essentially are drops in the ocean.

Well done Ulven for making the decision! It's easy to remember once you're in Superbru, all the pools you're active in will be notified for action from dashboard, plus these threads will all be active. Now the only times I do forget is after international break but I usually still make it in time. Plus, default picks settings help save you for 10 games. Definitely saved me last season in 1 pool (forget which).

Trofo That kind of happened to me in past seasons when Top 10 seems so far away!

morvillz7z Pools are honestly much quicker to complete, if you know the league well, and I'm sure your fantasy time means you probably even know it better than us, it's literally 10 seconds to enter picks per Match Day But agree, if you know you can't participate in, no pressure (well, just a little pressure ). I'm saying no to Fantasy, though I wish I could.

Thanks for sharing this, funny thing is I'd probably have taken Sainz at around 8/1 (knowing it's of course going to be LeClerc to take priority in any team finish) but you're right, it's not just unfair, it has to be wrong.

Hamilton more than twice as likely to win than Sainz? Am I missing something here?

Took a bet anyway, couldn't help it. I always feel once they break their duck, another win's coming soon. 21/1 for an F1 "Blackjack".

^^^

I believe this is the fastest we've collected this much anyway, or is my memory so bad?

morvillz7z apparently those who do well in La Liga do even better in Serie A, you know you need to make it happen, baby.

@casperBGD nice try, trying to get our hopes up for Valencia And yeah, Superbru hasn't opened any of the big leagues except Premier League, someone needs to spank them!

There's another interesting underdog to take and that's Crusaders at 31/1 at Fairlay. I'm actually skipping this one though, as Basel are the opponents. It would be a perfect opp to bet on the other leg if Basel win this by 2 goals or more

Liepeja were 15/1 yesterday according to Boristhecat, but are now 11/1 -- so either way, not a good take today anymore.
Lincoln Red Imps were 9/1 and 11/1 today!
IF you'd put money down even on both yesterday, your value evens out-ish.
FC Milsami 10/1 yesterday are over 11/1 today.

The safer bet of course is to take handicaps for all 3, even money, if just one of them doesn't lose, you're in profit. But since there's no fun in that, I'd rather win one of those and pocket at least 6x profit

good luck on the parlay @morvillz7z, I think it's decent, just not my leaning on these tight rounds.

Of course I did And strangely enough not even on one of my regular bookies but on a fiat one, was out on a different device when I plomped it down.

Told you guys, these games simply not worth betting on 2/1 or thereabouts markets, even to get wins + BTTS get you maybe 4/1? And we know teams prefer drawing these games now.

I've got money on all 3 underdogs in Conference today as well, but that's for another topic

Acess will change, but this near future may not be soon enough for a lot of people. And priorities may also still not change for a significant part of the developing world. Even with internet and smartphone, it's still not viable with needs, which don't change even with internet/device penetration. The hawala network, which hasn't only survived but thrived in countries with decades of internet use, but where online literacy hasn't caught up (we're still on English, for example) is a reminder of this.

Have to admit didn't watch after HT but the first half was all Spain though, winning corners and freekicks, and honestly if they'd just focused on being more direct they'd have gone 2 up at least. So if they focused on defence, then they must have done that in 2nd half and extra time.

They have a skillful forward line, silkier than the English (who still can't even figure out not to be offside every time they take freekicks at goal), but both sides just lack awareness to play that kind of slick passing. Lost count the number of times, the English especially, 2 or 3 strikers move into acres of space while a third receives ball, only one glance left or right and you could easily thread through balls, but they just keep passing back.

Oh yes and with England's failure to win yesterday, my bankroll has disappeared and here ends my betting journey on Women's Euro.

That's the spirit! You just might end up on top after you come back from expedition like this. If I'd stuck to that more often last season I could have gathered a lot more points too.

And I know we should probably underestimate Spurs as well.

I'm always with a Pool 2+ goal win, but at least I'm no longer doing 3-0 by default. Could I be made to regret that?

@Harko yeah I prefer them to hype United up, but surely you remember the pre-season hype with Ronaldo and Sancho coming in too right? Ten Haag is apparently instilling discipline into the team, so that's bad news for the rest of us. I was really happy United had become a rabble of stars, but now seems they're going to have to at least start turning up to meals and training on time (a given at most other clubs but apparently not under Ole or even Rangnick).

Away teams get shafted on odds, just for being the away team -- and on this scale, I doubt there's a big difference for them. Red Imps, for example, share one stadium with all Gibraltar teams, so it's not really like they know what an away stadium is like, and not like their home stadium is like an Anfield.

I'm not convinced in Europa and Conference home advantage matters so much (certainly for some clubs but not all).

Yeah odds have fallen on Liepeja but it's always touch and go with that, sometimes you get it worse, I didn't mind taking one rightaway.

Cool bet, same one I took as well!

And no, Fairlay has an impeccable record. Support always corrects things for those whose markets settle wrong (there is a public chat) and this is really the first time I have ever gotten a glitch. Again still investigating if it was an error on the person who opened the market (sometimes possible they did it 90 minutes rather than FT result).

I'm ready for the Lionesses to let me down but if they win, I've achieved my target for this competition!

^^ Re fantasy, exactly right. It is about juggling optimum points. Salah was auto captain for me even when I was not playing and I managed to end up high on the SB pool for weeks -- you have to identify players like that early on and pay the cost, knowing everyone has them, just to keep up. Always fit, guaranteed starter, king of goals and assists, seldom gets carded. Can't afford not to have him.

I'd probably risk picking a new buy, but avoiding most of them. And then picking a form team from bottom half for defence.

I'm going to have to disappoint you for Fantasy though, I just don't have the time to even half-ass my picks for Fantasy and while I don't mind supporting a pool I feel like joining it and then dropping out is probably worse =p

Yeah, exactly. We have to understand it from the perspective of a period in time when it simply wasn't easy to find a reputable entity to trade significant volumes of Bitcoin.

It's like the Trust system here. Mt Gox had a lot of approval ratings from old forum users, Ver comes to mind -- he apologised later for recommending everyone to use Mt Gox but it's no different from me recommending users as escrows or services I'd use -- where there is no good decentralised/trustless alternative.

And in some ways, the lengthy litigation at least attempts to make users whole -- unlike other exchanges that have folded.

Took a look but odds don't make me interested, bookies made it finely balanced, as they should be given the unknowns in both sides. Ukraine did seem to show a lot of spirit during internationals, so if the club's core is left and that's mainly locals, they should probably be playing a highly spirited game. 35/10 for a HT lead seems the best choice for me =D

@LTU_btc you know, based on last night's results, time to go for all the long shots yeah? I'd take Slovan Bratislava, with regular boost is almost 8/1 but in a couple of hours today there's a Super Boost on Sportsbet -- should easily get to 85/10.

Missed a great opp yesterday I believe with Hibernians getting a home win, think the odds were 7/1 if I remember correctly. Today's few games are very tight, I'd stay away as they're all touch and go odds wise around 2/1.

But tomorrow we have some interesting prospects:
Liepeja are 136/10 against Young Boys (though the Swiss did last beat United in UCL haha).
Lincoln Red Imps are 9/1 against Tobol Kostanay
FC Milsami 10/1 against Kuopion Palloseura

I've already put down bets on the first 2, tomorrow another =)

Oh for sure, I'm also on the road for about two weeks and then dubious internet for following 2 weeks -- trip delayed from 2020. Expedition always makes me think of long blissfully lonely trips. I haven't been completely alone since 2016, sort of miss it. Enjoy!

Forum's always alright with even poor data, sometimes it's the only thing I can do (typing out a response on phone is a bit of a nightmare but am so used to it don't even think of now).The heat, yes... probably not as bad as the UK but shitty enough I've been in a daze since yesterday.

Might be surprised by what you can score without bias of injury and suspension and form and bookie odds...

See a real person couldn't possibly finish last, more proof he is not human! Fantasy really looked awesome tbh, it's just only problematic if you don't really have time to check for injury (other things to look at of course but that seems to be the problem for me to find out). IIRC it keeps putting some people at 50% risk when they actually played.

I want to say I'd join Bundesliga and even Ligue 1 but I fear I'll be just giving free money away there. Games are all right to watch, though.

First time it happened to me too on this platform (Fairlay). I'll be a good kid and ask them about it, just for future reference. Thought maybe there was a glitch or something with the results. Strange game too, 1st goal was scored in record time, fastest ever Women's Euro goal, and last one scored as the latest ever probably.
