I have pretty much the same but as singles, never thought to do a parlay Storm, Panthers and Sea Eagles. The game between the Rabbitohs and Roosters should be a right cracker. The odds on Sportsbet are Roosters 3.90 v 1.26 Rabbitohs, I cant call this one.
As regards outright winners I have Storm, Panthers and Eels from a few weeks ago but I'm leaving it at that. If any of the 3 above win I will be in profit.

Well next up is the Winston-Salem Open which kicked off yesterday I think and lots of top players attending then the US Open.
There is a good chance now for both Medvedev and Zverev to reach the final at least and to challenge Djokovic, Rublev and Tsitsipas have also to be considered.

my other bet today is teichmann winning a set @ 2.31, she has been on fire this week, playing the best tennis of her life, full of confidence after 3 victories against top ranked players, she just might get the biggest win of her career today.
I skipped women's match. Was thinking of playing the same or handicap on Teichman but then I checked out Barty stats in the tournament and she had a walk in the park so far. Nobody took a set from her yet and she left Azarenka on just 2 games in the match. Granted Azarenka is nowhere near her best form but still she is a solid player. Since I did not watch any of the WTA matches in Cincinnati it is difficult for me to judge how good were our finalists or if it was simply a case of bad opponents. That happens much more often in WTA since girls do not have a serve to get them through bad patches like most guys on ATP. I did a small in-play bet on Barty which I dont like doing but she was very impressive getting the job done in 2 sets.
Just watching the mens final, Rublev to serve and gets broken in the first game, I dont have a bet on yet..... and Rublev gets broken again, not a good start. And just like that, Zverev took the trophy in this tournament. Rublev just started bad and Zverev take advantage of it. I think Rublev's big win against Medvedev carry his momentum against Zverev. I also thought that this finals could go on a 3 set over match. But the game score was just 17 points. Yea it certainly looked like Rublev was spent after the big win against Medvedev in the semi final and this contrasted greatly against Zverev's game which was almost perfect apart from being broken himself in the second set which is where the 4 double faults come from. Such a pity for Rublev, the result doesnt reflect his performance in the tournament at al. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-Mp6_-JT3wic%2FYSLTA_5Lj7I%2FAAAAAAAAAvs%2F-fg_tw7c2vkHhrjP-MwIMBk_u0_v7-DuQCNcBGAsYHQ%2Fs16000%2FCapturecincinnati.JPG&t=663&c=Wk446bB1lRxbMQ)

This is a intense battle to get to 50k we are creeping towards it but it keeps taking hits whenever it is getting close. I am starting to doubt my faith in it reaching 50k by next month. I think it will this year not by next month. This is not good for investors who are looking at the charts because it has the risk of dropping down a lot if people panic about it not reaching it.
I dont think it will take that long to hit $50k, we came very close today but the buy pressure crumbled and we broke back to $48. There is no doubt we will be hitting and crossing $50k, its just another price point to breach, next will be $55k but there is a chance we are going to test a lower price to recharge for the $50k target.

Just watching the Medvedev v Rublev match and Medvedev is in trouble, he has just been broken and possibly again in this game, match point to Rublev....
There we go a win for Rublev, he played a savage game and I lost my bet on Medvedev but I was able to throw on a quick in play bet on Rublev to break even.
Rublev broke Medevedev and just beat him 2-1 and has reached the final. Was expecting honestly a lot more from Medvedev but an amazing match for Rublev. Medvedev after this loss will be again far from the #1 position Yea "the incident with the camera" seemed to rattle Medvedev. He definitely wasnt right after that. He was complaining that the court area was too small. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1480106/Daniil-Medvedev-threatens-sue-colliding-camera-Cincinnati-Masters-Andrey-Rublev-ATP-TourMaybe there is a reason Nadal only played that tournament once? That incident with the camera was just what I needed for my over games bet to pass. He seemed very rattled after that game and gave a speech that he will broke the camera into 1000 pieces and not pay for it if he looses the match. I immediately placed a bet on Rublev to win the set and another one to win the match. Too bad it was for very small amounts since it was more like a try at big odds then really believing Rublev can win. Before that incident it was all Medvedev and I was sure I am loosing my initial bet. Same here, I didn't bet pre-game because I'm all Medvedev and I don't like the odds. But after the incident, I bet on the over and got a win. Unfortunately, I also do a live betting on Tsitsipas, I don't know, but I'm been betting him in every tournament and it seems that I have lost again. Rublev vs Zverev - I'll probably go with the over here. I hope Medvedev will learn from this event, chances are if he kept his cool and manage the situation mentally he could have won. I didnt bet on Tsitsipas as I too lost too much on him this year but I did think he would beat Zverev. Wouldnt be able to pick a winner in the final, probably go with Rublev but not enough to put my Satoshi's on.

Storm definitely deserve to be at the #1 spot and are probably favourites to take the title.
The Knights have a comfortable 10 point lead at half time against The Bulldogs. The pressure is on The Eels to win today to keep a bit of distance between them.
Interesting article about Hayley Maddick and in general the transitioning from touch Rugby to league. I think there is a real challenge especially here to try and keep girls, ladies and women involved in sport.

...and there we have it, just like it was ceeded the too four in the semi finals
Medvedev (1) v Rublev (4)
Zverev (3) v Tsitsipas (2)
Very interesting pairings, Rublev will give Medvedev a good run but I think Medvedev will win, there will be serious power shots on display in this one.
Zverev v Tsitsipas is really difficult to call so I wont, Im edging towards Tsitsipas though.

I am also thinking Zverev should be able to take Ruud in straight sets. Ruud is solid player but his best surface is clay, he does not have enough time to run around the ball to hit that monster forehand on this surface.
Yes, so it's quite amazing to see him reach the quarter finals in this tournament. Maybe he got a lucky draw to be able to run this far. But he is a clay specialist, and I think Zverev could take him out easilty. Rublev should have easy time but that match is must watch for me. Should be some cracking points. Tsitsipas and Felix are probably the closest match today. I will try with some handicap on Felix.
Tsitsipas lost the first first against Sonego, but eventually win. Felix has been improving a lot lately, so it's a good match to see as well. I have Rublev, Medvedev for this round of 16 today and Zverev against Ruud in the qarter final tomorrow. I see Felix AA did the job against Berrettini, I couldnt call a winner beforehand so I didnt bet on hat one. Also with Tsitsipas v Sonego Tsitsipas was favourite but I have lost too much on him this year so I dont feel confident about him but he won.
Latest news regarding the U.S Open Rafael Nadal pulls out of US Open with foot injury, will miss remainder of 2021![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210820121648-01-rafael-nadal-0611-exlarge-169.jpg&t=663&c=138mK7ClxpHFVw) In a statement posted on social media, the world No. 4 said he had been suffering "much more than I should" with a foot injury, adding that the decision to end his 2021 season was "the way forward to recover and recover well." So thats 2 op the big 3 missing the tournament and its now up to Medvedev, Tsitsipas and maybe Zverev to stop Djokovic.

You do need some technical skills, not a lot though. All the responses above are relevant so I'll throw a few more pointers in When buying a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger make sure to buy direct, dont try and make a saving from a reseller who could have compromised the security. https://trezor.iohttps://www.ledger.comMake sure when sending Bitcoin from wallet to wallet that you are using Bitcoin addresses, if you send to a non Bitcoin wallet you wont receive the amount and you wont get refunded. Make sure to save and store you wallet keys/passphrase/password safely and securely

Bitcoins volatility has bot advantages and disadvantages and these depend on who you are.
As an experienced trader or one who knows what you are doing volatility can enable you to make profits.
If you are an inexperienced trader volatility can work against you.
Prom a non trading point of view volatility allows us to "Buy the Dips" and to DCA (Dollar cost average)
Volatility also offers those opposed to Bitcoin opportunities to attack it and create FUD, this as we know is futile, they think its an advantage but we know its their disadvantage.

Welcome @el che
The only one I had a bet on today was Medvedev, he is on a roll ATM and carrying a lot of momentum from his Toronto win. The winning momentum he will want to carry into the U.S open.
Did anyone watch Sinner v Isner yesterday? Tennis is amazing! a game where you can score more points than your opponent but still lose.
Isner's serve won him the match but today he was beaten by Paire.

The Hong Kong protests already saw quite impressive use case demonstrations for Bitcoin. Even if you're not looking or able to flee -- and many Afghans are also choosing to stay and resist -- Bitcoin can help overcome oppressive police states, as the protestors in HK showed when they had to use Bitcoin to buy travel tickets and send assistance to circumvent China's monitoring of bank accounts to put location and linkage tracing on HK residents.
It's a great store (and transport) of value, yes. But it's also a really useful anti-censorship transmission of money.
And the recent Afghanistan scenario where thousands of people are queuing to take their money out of the banks is another typical example of ownership of wealth and the consequences of not having full control of what you own. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aljazeera.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F08%2FAP21227476382108.jpg%3Fresize%3D1170%252C780&t=663&c=47TNQllJbxa0eg) Bitcoin as posted above is a perfect store, transport and anti-censorship of wealth, when the Taliban take full control of the country restrictions and limits will be in place until there is a change, Bitcoin is the wealth safehaven.

This is great, its stories like this which highlights the advantage bitcoin [and crypto] can give to anybody and everybody to be their own bank and to be able to accept payment for goods and services without the need for a 3rd party like a bank or credit card provider which also attracts handling charges.
Going forward more and more people will realise this

The Storm, Sea Eagles, Panthers (should be a good game against the Rabbitohs), Sharks (another mid ladder good game), Knights, Eels (if they don't win, then they're going to have trouble for the remainder of the series), Roosters & The Warriors.
I've heard teams such as the Eels are having difficulties in lock-down where the single men (on higher priced contracts) are in more luxurious hotel rooms, while family / married men have their whole families in cramped smaller hotel rooms (hence disrupted sleep etc).
Apparently this is why the Eels have started loosing recently. (as good as any other story out there)
Thats interesting, I would never have thought of that as a reason for the team to be disrupted but of course it does make sense. I was wondering what the salaries are like and from this list it varies from $1,200,000 [max] to $140,000 > https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/players/highest-paid-players/3 Eels players earn less than $500,000, Isaiah Papali'i = $150,000 being the lowest while for example the lowest Panthers player, Apisai Koroisau earns $470,000 and next nearest is $635,000, Viliame Kikau. Rugby Union.Hopefully the Australian's can emulate the Qld State of Origin team and win the third (dead rubber) game this week-end against the All Blacks. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2MIVFoK.jpg&t=663&c=o9644TSP81dKog) Yea I was wondering about this championship but I actually havent paid any attention to it, The odds on sportsbet dont portray much hope for Australia I'm afraid Australia 8.60 v 1.05 New Zealand I have a bet on the Springbok to beat The Pumas, odds are Argentina 4.70 v 1.16 South Africa

I not backing The Eels this round, I have Storm, Roosters, Sea Eagles, and Knights for the wins.
There is a lot to play for just inside and outside the top 8 positions, Titans, Raiders and Sharks could all be fighting for that 8th spot in the finals.
