Its not looking like a good US Open to watch with more star players pulling out, to be honest I have lost a little interest in wanting to watch the US Open but I will still watch some matches to see how the young talent goes. At least we know one thing and that is we'll see a different Men's grand slam winner for the first time in years.
Same here, my interest is also a lot lower due to all the topplayers that have pulled out (especially Nadal, Kyrgios, Federer). We will get a different grand slam winner for the Women, but for the Men, Djokovic is still the favorite to win. @vella85 I won’t be surprised if this year’s viewership will be the lowest we have seen in year’s, because majority of the stars are absent and that has taken the charm out of this tournament. @babygun yea Djokovic is the favourite to win this tournament, and he’s made his intentions clear that he wishes to win this tournament. Furthermore I also believe that it’ll take some exceptional performance from other player’s, to stop him from winning the tournament.
Novak Djokovic has decided to travel to New York for the US Open amid the COVID-19 pandemic because the 17-times grand slam champion did not want to pass up on the opportunity to close in on Roger Federer's record tally of 20.

I'm not. I don't think there could be a worse fixture for Leeds to open with... Maybe Man City away. They're playing City at home as their third game though so it's going to be a tough month for them. It's not going to do Leeds' confidence any good if they get spanked 3/4/5-0 which I could see happening at Anfield. The only thing I can see going in their favour is if Liverpool are a bit rusty and go into the game complacent. Happens to some big teams on the first game. Maybe Leeds can pick up some points from the other two games against Fulham and Sheffield, but they'll probably struggle at Sheffield away. Fulham is at home though.
oh, seems like Leeds gonna have tough opening month. I only looked at the opening fixtures. I saw Leeds fans saying Leeds this and that ,Marcelo Biesla this and that after they won Championship so I want to see how they are gonna perform against big teams. Plus they have made a return to PL after 16 years so that makes it more interesting for me and watch them how they perform in this season now that they have made it. I am gonna consider Blades match into as a tricky fixture. They are tough as we saw in last season. There have been a change for Blades - their goalkeeper Dean Henderson will be back at Man Utd as his loan with Sheffield United has expired. @hilariousetc I don’t think that Liverpool will be rusty or even allow Leeds to get going in the game, because in my personal opinion they’ll attack right from the start, as they know that each and every point will matter if they wish to defend their newly won premier league title. Also Arsenal are facing a tricky situation, as they’re up against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United in their early games, and if they loose all the three games then it’ll be very difficult for them to finish in the top four once again.  |

The president of Mali, President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has been overthrown by the military in the nation's second coup in a decade. On tuesday, 18 August, the president compulsively resigned from his position and dissolved the parliament. This comes after weeks of unrest within the country with opposition calling for his resignation. The opposition have been protesting the mismanagement of the nation, reflected in the current economic and security conditions of the country and neighboring regions following about 8 years of insurgency. There has also been reports of corruptions and electoral misconducts aimed at keeping the reigns of power firmly in the hands of the president. History: President Ibrahim Keita was elected president in Mali in 2013, less than a year after a coup which plunged the nation into crisis few months to the 2012 elections overthrowing the then President Amadou Touré. This takeover was countered by foreign interventions, notably coming from France and neighboring West African nations inorder to recover the nation's territory. The elected president pledged to bring unity to the region, however after years of unrest and insurgency, thousands of lives lost, much more displaced and more foreign troops being sent to the region, a diplomatic intervention was needed in July this year with 5 West African nations; Ghana, Ivory Coast, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal led by the immediate ex-president of Nigeria holding a mediation involving the leaders of all 5 meeting in Mali with the aim of restoring order within the region. This mediation attempt however failed with the key opposition, the Movement of June 5 - Rally of Patriotic Forces, requesting for accountability for the political clash which took place within the 10th and 12th of June: Three days of clashes between protesters and security forces ensued, leaving 11 dead and 158 injured, according to an official tally, in the bloodiest bout of political unrest Mali had seen in years
Later in July a virtual meeting between the Economic Community Of West African States was called to mediate within the region after the failed peace trip. Present situation: On 18 August 2020, elements of the Malian Armed Forces began a mutiny. Soldiers on pick-up trucks stormed the Soundiata military base in the town of Kati, where gunfire was exchanged before weapons were distributed from the armory and senior officers arrested. Tanks and armoured vehicles were seen on the town's streets, as well as military trucks heading for the capital, Bamako. The soldiers detained several government officials including the President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta who resigned and dissolved the government.SourceThe president later on Tuesday spoke during a television broadcast;"Today, certain parts of the military have decided that intervention was necessary. Do I really have a choice? Because I do not wish blood to be shed," Keita said in a brief statement broadcast on national television.
Keita said that he has decided "to give up my duty from now on." The military has expressed their interests in restructuring the nation and claimed they did not desire to hold power; Wednesday, August 19
07:35GMT - Soldiers behind the coup appear on TV
The soldiers behind the coup - calling themselves the National Committee for the Salvation of the People - appeared on state television in military fatigues, pledging to stabilise the country.
"We are not holding on to power but we are holding on to the stability of the country," said Ismail Wague, Mali Air Force's deputy chief of staff.
"With you, standing as one, we can restore this country to its former greatness," said Wague, announcing borders were closed and a curfew was going into effect from 9pm to 5am.
"This will allow us to organise within an agreed reasonable timeframe, general elections to equip Mali with strong institutions, which are able to better manage our everyday lives and restore confidence between the government and the governed."
Source
The coup has been condemned by many countries within the African region and beyond and a couple of security briefings has been held within various political unions. France are former colonizers of Mali and would be the biggest players within the region with thousands of her troops currently deployed there starting with Operation Serval which was launched during the 2012 coup. This ended in 2014 and was almost immediately followed by Operation Barkhane. • What do you think the implications would be for Mali and neighboring regions? • Malians took to the streets to celebrate after reports of the president being detained went public, could this situation have a positive effect on the nation? @Upgrade00 it is very difficult to say as to what kind of impact will we really see, because if the military refuses to give up the power that they have just gained then Mali will be under military rule, and that’s never good for any country. Furthermore this also represents an interesting opportunity for other countries to step up, and try and influence this region for their personal gains, but will it have a positive or negative effect for Mali’s citizens only time will tell. |

Conte is a top coach, on and off the pitch, we hope he can give the winning position to this Inter Milan to raise this trophy.
He has a lot of credits to this Inter transformation. I wish he could still get the Serie A title as they tarted this season amazingly but after the covid lockdown and the break that happened to Italy the team didn't perform well and lost the pace they had. At least they can get the Europa League title. @Lillominato89 there’s no doubt about Conte coaching skills, because has a proven record of succeeding wherever he goes be it Juventus, Chelsea etc. @Naida_BR you’re right as he really worked hard and transformed the team, but in the finals he’s facing Sevilla who just love winning this competition, hence it won’t be easy for him but I’m yet hoping that somehow he can help Inter Milan win the Europa cup.
It all comes to an emphatic close on Friday as Sevilla square off against Inter Milan in Stadion Köln in Cologne for all the marbles. The Spanish club has won it all five different times while Inter have won it on three separate occasions, most recently in 1997-98 when the competition was branded as the UEFA Cup.

Wow 3-0 another big score for the Bayern...
I wonder if Messi is going to get the golden ball again  Lewandowski is the player that should get it. He has made amazing games for a lot of seasons and this season is his chance to shine. He is a great leader and possibly one of the best strikers in the world. @Naida_BR I don’t know about you but I was totally disappointed when France Football announced that this year’s Ballon d’Or was cancelled, because in my personal opinion Lewandowski was going to win it, and they should have awarded it to him because he scored 50+ goals and he totally deserved to win it. Also PSG fans there’s a worrying news for you’ll that Neymar could be banned from the finals for swapping a shirt with the opponent as that’s a violation of the covid rules set by UEFA, but I’m sincerely hoping that UEFA won’t ban him.

^ Of course there will be people who will try to put the blame on the casino when they do something wrong, what do you expect them to do accept the fact that they were trying to cheat? If they were that type of people they wouldn't do a bad thing in the start, so that means they are the type of people who would try to cheat the system and same type of person would definitely try to blame the system for banning them when they try to cheat because they found a smart and legal loophole that would be allowed when they realize that they are banned.
I kind of get it, like that is who they are and that is what they do, it is a horrible thing and nobody should but there are those type of people out there in the world and we have to come to terms to accept their existence and just not get annoyed by them.
@jostorres you misunderstand these users who keep posting the same question again and again have not played at Bitdice, and they’re only taking advantage of Bitdice Ann not being a self monitored thread. Also it’s pertinent to note that team Bitdice could have made this Ann a self monitored thread had they wanted to when their old thread got closed, but they didn’t because they value everyone’s opinion, and will only answer if it’s a legitimate query. |

Bitcoin had enabled me to have control over my money I don't need to care about any banking services much, I don't need any third party to facilitate any of my transactions, I also have privacy over my fund thanks to bitcoin, My wallet provider also makes KYC as optional thus my privacy is also protected, I can order for stuffs online swiftly, I have the ability to exchange my coins to fiat within some period of time without any hassle, finally offering some freelance services online including bounty and signature campaigns whose services are paid with bitcoin is added advantage of the coin Since you say you don't need a 3rd party for your transactions and you don't need to care about ANY banking service. It means you don't pay any bills (electricity, water,IS,P insurance,...) you don't have a job , or you're working for free since you can't receive your salary and you don't have a house since it seems you don't have a landlord to pay monthly. You look like a teenager still living with the parents.. Your "wallet provider" makes KYC optionnal and you care about your privacy, yet you give you personnal information to cashout your money but wait? Firstly you say you don't need ANY banking service. @TimtheYoutuber I remember clearly that before I came to this forum I was stuck in a toxic lifestyle, pathetic job less pay I hope you’ll get the picture, moving on I slowly began to collect Satoshis thanks to the signature campaigns out here, and before I knew it I was able to purchase many gadgets e.g. IPhone X, Fitbit. Furthermore I was able to quit my full time job, and use bitcoins to fund my lifestyle and overall bitcoin gave me the freedoms I never had, so yea bitcoin played a very important role in changing my life for good. |

I predict yes, there will be an ETF by 2nd quarter of 2021 with the crypto mom Hester Peirce sworn in as an SEC commisioner yesterday. I also predict that the first ETF for bitcoin approved will be the Winklevoss ETF. The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Caroline A. Crenshaw and Hester M. Peirce have been sworn into office as SEC commissioners.Read in full https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-184Do people still talk about ETF with regard to bitcoin? some people have said several time that it got nothing to do with price of bitcoin and it looks to be true, maybe the adoption rate might increase. There was this hype around Bakkt last year but it came at the wrong time, it is more than the acceptance shown by some financial system or Government, when the sentiment is right nothing prevents the pump.
I think that hype has died down already. I mean people grew tired of waiting from it, and then we enter the bearish trend and we totally forget about it. And then we are now in a bull run and there is a renewed interest again. However, the argument that we don't need it seems to hold though. We have went for like 2 years of bear trend and without any news of this ETF and we survived. Now that we are in a bullish trend, we do actually need it? And that is the big question. @bbc.reporter I had completely forgotten about this product, and honestly I’m not even excited for it unless SEC makes an announcement stating that they’re officially approving it. Also let’s say that it does come out in 2021 will people actually care for it, because I’m pretty sure that like me they too would have grown tired of this drama and may have lost their desire to invest in it. |

Snowden has been unfairly demonised for what was a tremendous act of public service, as is unfortunately often the case with whistleblowers. Vilification rather than protection is the standard approach. There are obvious parallels here with Chelsea Manning, whose ludicrously harsh sentence was commuted by Obama. Normally you'd expect Trump to be vehemently opposed to someone like Snowden, who is a sort of anti-Trump in that he is famous for exposing hidden truths.
Normally you'd expect Trump to be decrying him as a traitor and not even considering releasing him... but obviously the word 'Russia' looms large in this.
@c_atlas if Trump ends up pardoning him then he’ll leave the voters further divided, because some will consider this pardon as fair and may suddenly decide to vote for him. Also if Democrats oppose this move then they’ll risk upsetting the American citizens who have been demanding the presidential pardon for Snowden for quiet a while now, and hence this pardon can definitely be a game changer in the upcoming US presidential elections. |

Still I think it depends on the winner and at the same time that we are talking about the majority of the public, who are not rich enough to get a Lambo, from tax purposes to signing over fee to many other stuff, it would cost a lot but also it is a Lambo so it is still quite free, whatever you are going to pay will not be remotely close to what Lambo would cost you to buy, so it is still almost a free Lambo for sure.
This means what if a whale gambler wins? I guess that they could totally get it, they have enough money to pay for everything and super rich so why not get the Lambo instead of the money, they could totally do that like a trophy kind of thing, winning a Lambo would mean that you can show it off as your gambling win and could justify your gambling as well. However we all know most of the people here are not that rich and can't afford it, this only applies if a whale wins. Some others are probably shy and wish to stay anonymous in order to avoid unnecessary attention.
We cannot do anything about that if that is the situations and need to simply move on by respecting their privacy. I guess this will impact on promotion levels of the house as well. Because, if this forum member's one of known/trusted high rank wins means that will work in a massive promotion way but if non-forum member wins and if they opt for being anonymous then that might serve the promotion purposes only half  . @Emitdata even for a whale it’ll be complicated because of his local laws, customs etc, and I also don’t think that the whale (if it’s a whale who wins it) would will like to spend his time answering the authority’s questions regarding the acquisition of the Lamborghini. Am I blind or are there no Props/Player Props for all the NBA Games?
I really miss them on this site, other than that I love playing at Stake.
I hope its alright to quote myself here as I never got any reply from the team. Now that playoffs have started I am really missing props for all the games... Its really the only thing missing bettingwise, Id hate to change books just to be able to bet props... @xxjumperxx did you login and ask asked the support about this, as Stake support is very helpful and I’m sure that they’ll listen to your suggestions, and process it ahead to see if it can be implemented or no. |

Snip
So getting your main account banned didnt really completely stop you on posting non-sense?  @Hamphser all the questions asked were duly answered by @BoXXob, but if people keep on repeating those same questions again and again then team bitdice cannot answer it every time they’re raised. Also these threads have had no effect on Bitdice reputation, because the community knows that Bitdice is a legit site. |

Trying to register on your casino but it seems that you need to provide some basic information like your location and phone number is it necessary to have these things on signing up? Most of the people prefer to play anonymous but if it's on your license then I think I should do it.
If explore site only, you have to try inserting random phone number and address. And I think it's not necessary (full KYC providing identity ID card or passport). @HazCasino1, for withdrawing BTC need such an ID card or OTP from phone number? @DroomieChikito I too had raised this question when the thread was made, and the reply I got was that they had to comply with their local law rules, and hence they had kept KYC compulsory at the time of withdrawal. Also I’m not aware if they have changed their stance now, because if they have dropped the KYC requirements then they’ll definitely be able to attract more gamblers from here. https://www.hazcasino.com/en/info/faqWe unfortunately have to abide by the laws of our regulators and because of this, we are required to request KYC for withdrawals. We hope you understand and will never force you to deposit if you are uncomfortable with KYC  |

Kamala Harris has been chosen by Biden to be his vice president. She is not running for president.
However, the quest for the first female president is real. 2016 showed this and it has been speculated that there is a small group among the Democrats that know Biden might not finish his term because of his age and mental health. That was why they have made sure to pick a female who also belongs to a minority. At this point, the Democrats can't afford to go for a VP candidate from any other ethnic group. Biden is almost 78 years old and he is non-Hispanic white. Donald Trump and his VP pick both are non-Hispanic white. So they had no other options, although better candidates were available. Kamala may be the most suitable candidate, but she is not the best candidate out there. @Vishnu.Reang I had posted this in the political section and I’ll post it here again that Kamala has only been selected because of her Indian origin, and it’s a clever attempt to make Indians vote for the Democrats. Furthermore I don’t think that Democrats would be happy to see her in presidents chair in case something was to happen to Biden, but even if she became the president then too I doubt that she’ll be able to last long because of her outspoken ways.

Ever since Biden picked Harris to be his VP candidate for the Democrat ticket, there's been two questions in the back of my mind:
Will Kamala satisfy the progressives of the party? Will a Biden/Harris ticket bring out the progressives of the party?
I think yes. I think that the progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2016 by not voting for Clinton. They may have not liked her, but they HATE TRUMP. They may not like Biden and Harris but the progressives of the party HATE TRUMP.
I personally think she won't satisfy the progressives, neither will Biden, but they will swallow their pride and accept them cause they're not Trump.
Any thoughts?
There has been a continual drumbeat to whip up hatred of each and every Republican president for decades. This has gotten considerably worse with the nonstop lying and fake conspiracies of Trump term 1 of 2. I think there is no such thing here as "progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2o16 by not voting for Clinton." First, all engaging in the D are defined as progressives. Second, they'd rather stay home with a couple joints of the good stuff rather than go out to vote for Broomstick Hillary, now they have a similar issue with Bejing Biden. I guarantee you their coasting along mellow on voting night is better than voting for two loser bitches. You're totally right when it comes to hating every Republican President for the past 20 years (even though the last 20 years is only like, 2 GOP Presidents). I think this sort of thought is common though as we've gotten much more hyperpartisan. It can totally be debated in regards to the mainstream media and what they're saying about the President. But ya know Fox is going to love the GOP while every other major news outlet (CNN, MSNBC, ETC) are going to like the DNC candidate. This'll be one of the first races where we'll see if all of the crazy social media outreach will actually do anything. It hasn't worked yet, but this could be the one that changes that. Wouldn't be surprised of the youth just doesn't go out and vote again though. @squatz1 it’s too early to comment on this because we don’t really know how Kamala will fit in, and I also feel that at some stage they may end up bickering among themselves which will further divide their party. Lastly the only thing that I can say with absolute certainty is that she’s been selected just to secure the Indian voters who’re living in US now, otherwise why would Biden select a person who had attacked him during the primaries elections.

They have taken retirement from International cricket and IPL as per my understanding is a domestic T20 tournament. Hence, I do not see any reason for MSD or Raina not to play the IPL. They can play as long as their body allows them and as long as they are selected.
Both Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are like the public face of the Chennai Super Kings. I guess they will be included in the team even if they are out of form. Dhoni is invloved in the selection process and he was active even during the auctions. Also, they have very good relationship with N Srinivasan (who indirectly owns the Chennai Super Kings franchise). Both of them will play in the IPL but its a sad news that they have retired from the International Arena. Its always a sad to hear good players getting retired. Dhoni has been a super star for the indian cricket both as a captain and also as a wicket keeper batsman. Dhoni surely deserve some good farewell from Indian team and Board but sadly right now due to Covid 19 its not going to happen we was expecting this retirement after 20/Twenty World cup but now this event is not going to played so he decided to announce this which is also not bad at all. I don’t know about you’ll but MS Dhoni had no other option but to announce his retirement because team selectors had already decided that he would not be selected again, and with IPL coming up he felt that it was the best time to announce it and then fully focus on IPL. Also I hope that BCCI will arrange him a farewell match later on this year, though I’m not sure what’s the protocols for this but he deserves one last swan song on the field.

Is it just me or the site's having a 522 error?
Same here. Just some silly kids with a DDoS attack. It's mitigated now. I don't suppose it even remotely bothered you? After all these years, I think you've built up a pretty good security around your side... Sometimes these small attacks on the site are good as it gives the true picture of the security being implemented on the site and also it brings up new ideas on how to further improve them. Though Hackers will always try to exploit any loopholes on any famous site. I just checked and the site seems to be working just fine at my end, and if the problem yet exists then you’ll can try checking it via a VPN. Also error 522 is not always because of ddos attack and in this particular case it’s an cloudflare error, and it’s pertinent to note that I’m assuming that Freebitco is using cloudflare as their cdn. Lastly I’m pretty sure that Freebitco is spending lots of money on their security, and that’s why I don’t think they’ll ever get hacked. More information on error 522: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003011431-Troubleshooting-Cloudflare-5XX-errors |
