I think there is lot of people like you here, not newbies only. Personally, I can tell about myself that I'm also addicted. But instead of reading articles, listening podcasts, checking charts, I'm just scrolling here on Bitcointalk like on Facebook. I don't know how many times I check Bitcointalk daily, but sometimes I feel that I don't spend my time in most effective way. When I see how other peoppe are going deeply into all these things, I feel like a noob in crypto ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . And being addicted too much isn't good thing. Don't forget your family, friends and all things outside crypto.

I must admit that I don't follow Serie A as much as La Liga or EPL, so, I want to ask one question. What happened to Milan in second part of season? In first part of season they looked like Scudetto contenders and now it's likely that they can end without spot in Champions league next season. They loose toalmost every direct competitor recently.

If we look at content of some topics in Gambling discussion boards, there is lot of topics where gambling isn't main subject. And topic about European Super League isn't exception. In topics about EPL, Champions league and etc people discuss about match results, news, transfers and etc. Gambling is just part of discussion, but probably not the main one. People not discuss strictly just about gambling. Personally, I'm against ESL, but I don't mind that there is thread about it. But the main problem that there was no gambling related discussion in this topic at all.

It would be difficult to imagine better weekend scenario for Barca fans - Real dropped points, Atletico lost and Barca took a win against Villarreal. Barca played good game tonight, except that big mistake in defense when Villarreal scored goal. Great game for Griezmann and very nice first goal. Second goal was just awful defense by Villareal defenders. I actually expected Atletico to drop points today, you can check my post history for it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Though, I only predicted draw, but Athletic win is even better gift. So, now Barca potentially took a lead in La Liga if we will win game that we have in advance. Remaining schedul isn't very difficult for us, except game with Atletico, which will be true final.

Ajax have almost guaranteed champions title after beating AZ 2:0 today. Now they only have not to lose against Emmen next round. It's very solid season for them iwth domestic double - they also won cup few weeks ago. Only disappointment is Europa league where they were eliminated by Roma in 1/4 final, despite playing solid football. It's also important to mention that fans finally were allowed to return to stadium. There was 7500 fans in Amsterdam Arena today and atmosphere was great.

So, someone just spend over 220 Bitcoins or $11 117 000 to get $200 000 worth Lambo. Wow. I hope he didn't really purchased all these tickets and got it through wagering. If not, probably it will be most expensive Lambo ever. But even if he wagered a lot of BTC and got Golden tickets in this way, it's still insane money. If he can afford to gamble so much, probably these $200 000 doesn't means much for him.

if had to call for a giant corpse, would call it tomorrow for yellow submarine, Betis is not my bet it is not just teams that will be available today, it is statistic as well, Betis did not lost match in Madrid since 2017, and there is not much teams (if any) that can put that on the table as well, so it is their time to lost it
for tomorrow, Villareal does seem as up and down with form, but they could pull it, although @5 does not seem enough to put a bet on it
I intentionally put draw prediction on this game, though it was difficult to expect goaless draw. Betis are playing good football lately, but few recent their games ended with a draw. It sounds a bit strange, but now Real didn't managed to score against Betis at home 4 games in a row! My weekend would be perfect if we will win Villarreal tomorrow and Atletico will drop points against Athletic (what is likely IMO).

Rain and wet track made these race chaotic. There was safety car on the track maybe 5 times. But things that happened on final laps were something ridiculous. After all these safet car phases batteries of cars were adjusted and many drivers simply didn't had enough energy to finish. Here is how it looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pOVO4KOjh0Only de Vries on the top had enough energy and drvers who chased him knew that they will be disqualified because they nned to have more than 0.0% energy in finish. So, in the end, driver who didn't even finished was classified on 10th position and got point. I don't think such things is good for Formula E. But it was good to see them racing in real race track, not city circuit, even if there was layout adjustments.

If to choose just from these 2 wallets, you definitely should pick Atomic wallet. Freewallet simply have too many disadvantages - it's fully custodial and their reputation isn't best. Even Elon Musk was very disapoointed about this wallet. But if you're planning to hold Bitcoin only, Atomic wallet probably isn't best choice too. For altcoins it's good wallet I think. But for Bitcoin, they still don't support SegWit, what is huge disadvantages. If you need wallet for Bitcoin only, Electrum is the best option IMO.

How does Wheel Of Fortune works? Results are not 'random'. If you have 2 different links, sent to 2 different users and if you launch them in this same browser one by one, you will get this same result (even exactly this same position on wheel). Later I will prepare a video and proof it.
That's quite serious accusation. It will be interesting to see video proof. Wheel of Fortune is provably fair, same like other games on Freebitco.in. Personally I haven't verified Wheel of Fortune rolls myself, so it would be interesting to see how they can cheat on

Yesterday I already wanted to write post that Sporting is going to get first loss this season. But it was late time already, so I didn't watched game until the end and went to sleep when Belenenses were leading 2:0. So, I missed great comeback by Sporting. They managed to equalize score on 95th minute by scoring penalty. It's 3rd draw for Sporting in recent 4 games, so it's getting more interesting on the top. If Porto will win against Guimaraes tonight, they will be just 4 points behind Sporting with 8 rounds remaining.
Unlike other leagues, the Portuguese NOS League is only filled with 18 clubs. So there are only 6 matches left, not 8. By the way, from 6 matches remaining, Sporting CP have a tough challenge against Braga on 26 April and against Benfica on 16 of May. Sporting CP will have a smooth run when it comes to success against Braga, CD Nacional and Rio Ave. Oh yes, my bad. I knew that there is 18 clubs in the league, but still I had in mind that there is 36 rounds, don't know why ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . And remaining schedule loojs a bit easier for Porto, only though game for them remaining is against Benfica. But unlike Sporting, they already don't have room for mistake.

Which country was that? I've been playing football when I was in highschool and all I can say about the video was, it's either the goal keeper was dumb, or a huge possiblity for a fixed game. I know some basic rules in football. The goal keeper could've easily picked it up after the opponent kicks the ball towards him, but he did let the ball slip off his feet and let the opponent steal it from him and score a goal.
I know how crazy the sports are becoming more of a fraud business nowadays than how sports has being played before. These athletes deserves a lifetime ban from the game.
It's 2nd division of Lithuania. It's very dirty league, every season there is at least 3-4 suspicious teams playing which often have strange results. It's nothing suprising that players get involved in match fixing. Here they get very little money, probably not more than going into ordinary job. So, they earn extra money in such way. It's difficult and risky to bet on such games without having inside info. But still, it's possible to make some money if you follow results of teams and what's going on in odds market before the game and during live game.

If we already talking about fixed games, I can share recent case which happened just few days ago in my country. Look at this goal: https://m.facebook.com/KrasnickasMantas/videos/3932323906788812/It's just ridiculous. And there is many reasons to believe that game was fixed. First, live stream of game started only from 23rd minute, after 3 goals were already scored. Coincidence? I don't think so. Both teams previously already been involved in fixed games. Home team were not allowed to join top division this year because of it, same happened to away team few years ago. Away team manager already was banned in past for 2 years for allegations being involved in fixed games. Before the game I saw post in one group suggesting to bet on over 4.5 goals. I thought it was joke, but game ended 3:2. I haven't saw odds before game, but I read comments saying that it didn't reflected real strength of both teams. IMO, it was one of the most obvious example of fixed game in recent time I saw.

I haven't been in altcoin campaign for a long time already, maybe 4 or 5 years. Last time when I joined altcoin paying campaign, it was before ICO era. So, I've been just in few altcoin campaigns during all these years, so, fortunately, I don't have much experience with scam campaigns. I always got paid, though once I got pretty much worthless coins because project wasn't very serious. Personally, I think that before joining altcoin campaign you should make same research like before investing into that project. Yeah, it requires time and efforts, but it's better than get scammed. But I don't have enough time for it. Few years ago when I wasn't in Bitcoin paying campaign, I didn't looked at altcoin campaigns and bounties. I waited until I got spot in other Bitcoin paying campaign, rather than taking risk and joining altcoin campaign.

Usually I would suggest to get hardware wallet. But if you're planning to invest just $400, then probably it's not worth to buy it. Desktop walllet like Electrum is good choice. If you're planning to hold coins for longer time and don't trade it, make paper wallet. If $400 is your last fortune, then don't invest it. Golden rule of investing - don't invest more than you afford to lose. I won't suggest you specific coins to invest. But I think it's safest to invest into coins proven by time - Bitcoin, Ethereium, Litecoin and etc. Not Doge definitely. Avoid hyped shitcoins and always make your own research before investing.

Another puritan view! ESL is just a repackaged and re-branded version of European club football games. The concept is very similar to what has been done in cricket as T20 or the famous IPL game. Now the time has come to football to make it more exciting.
Due to the covid situation, the stadium games are in the brink of collapse. The incomes from various endorsements are drying out. So the ESL is simply a survival strategy where people will be more interested and the money will start rolling. Be adaptable to changes brother!
I'm not familiar with cricket, so I can't talk about it. But concept of ESL is good for 15 founding clubs only - they think about themselves only. While for remaining European football it means collapse. Also, does it makes sense when clubs can play in ESL no matter of their results in national league? What's point of EPL when Arsenal who only 9th still can play in ESL. Managers of these clubs like Pep, Klopp, players are also against this league. U think he was talking about the UEFA Champions League and he may be right, from the past two years the level of corruption has crippled the league, from the officiating down to the finances, participating clubs are being robbed, given a little amount while UEFA keep the big sum in their purse, the passion for the game was certainly fading.
I'm not sure what are you talking about. UEFA share huge money with clubs and these money is getting bigger each year. UEFA isn't perfect, but Perez and co isn't sacred cow too. ~snip As said Jesper Moller who is a member of the UEFA Executive Committee. UEFA will take strict sanctions for every club that follows the European Super League, and they will be banned from playing in all UEFA competitions. The same sanctions also apply in the Europa League, MU and Arsenal are Super League club that still play in the Europa League.
it would be simply unbelievable to see this happening, and on the other hand, it is the only chance for PSG to take the title ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) nevertheless, UEFA making this step will make football destined to basketball situation few years ago, with two FIBA Superleague and Euroleague, where it is clear who will win there is no way for fans to merit UEFA competition more than European Super league, no matter how it is called, it is a matter of football quality There is some difference. Euroleague alreadywas main basketball league in Europe, while FIBA tried to attract clubs to their new league by blackmailing them, threatening to ban clubs from national leagues and players from national teams.
After such huge negative reaction, it's good to see that few clubs may change their mind. I think most already saw Perez interview, where IMO he said lot of bulshit. Changing game length from 45 to 30 minutes sounds bad for me. Wouldn't be surprised if they would add commercial breaks during the game for TV. What's next, remove offsides?

I really wish this to be true, I really want like a 20 team, best teams in the world league that everyone plays, since these teams earn soooo much money, it would be basically very easy for them to keep flying from one place to another. There needs to be some rules, but look at NBA, that is a vast nation and teams fly from one side to another constantly, they figure out a scheduling that will help the teams move easier, get games around the same places back to back so that they could finish it before they go back in order to not make the same trip twice in a week, so it can be done.
This would really make football so much more entertaining. However we all know they are doing this constantly and then they give up when they get more incentives from Uefa, so all Uefa has to do is guarantee these teams entry to champions league no matter what and they will give up this idea.
There would be not much changes in terms of travelling - games would be played in mid-week, like Champions league now. But it's not main issue. Games between biggest clubs would be interesting, but there would be less competition and more commercial stuff. These clubs will get a lot of money, but for remaining teams it would be big hit. Strong clubs like Sevilla, Roma, Napoli and etc wouldn't get chance to play in Super League because they don't belong to closed elite club. And I'm not sure how popular my opinion is, but NBA regular season is waste of time. There is so many boring, zero value, meaningless games where team don't play seriously. 82 games is way too much IMO. Still, I don't see Super League running, considering that these teams will be banned from their national leagues.

I still hope that SuperLeague won't turn into reality. I'm disapoointed that my club Barcelona is part of it. "More than a club" they say, but they don't give a f*ck about supporters opinion, everything is just about money. This is why I don't like modern football. I'm a bit suprised that PSG will not join this league. But I really appreciate their, Bayern and Borussia position. BTW, what are your thoughts about UEFA reaction and new Champions league format? For me it looks strange and I doubt it will stop teams from joining SuperLeague. And it will go ahead just in 2024, while SuperLeagueis supposed to begin this year. By the way, we now have 6 new topics talking about ESL. Good job on checking the forum a bit before opening them ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Don't know which one was first, I posted in this one since it looked slightly better then most. Now we need one mod to come here and join them all together. I noticed it too, gambling board look messy now. It would be nice if we discuss it in single topic.
