Ohhhhh come on man in the last ball a goal from Crystal Palace, i have an exact with the 1-1 and for worst with tha 2-1 give an exact to mitchr, incredible man.....

About Man City Liverpool i thinked more people was gonna put Liverpool waiting for a surprise, but seems like not.

And Brentford... i dont know what to put with them.

I had them exact 1-1,had exact 1-1 also Bournemouth and thought to be winning quite a lot of points only to be shocked to see the results of just 2.5 points so far in this round which so far was not with surprise results to say the truth but I have difficulties in finding balanced level teams when fighting against each other.

Brighton also I never understood why they had an odd of 1.63 but I got deceived by that odd and not only put them a win in the predictor but also bet quite some money on them as I thought they were playing at home and their recent form was better than Brentford,only to find out for the thousand time that you can almost never win money by betting on the Premier League  Grin.

Yeah 16 games. Chance to take all Slam points but I went for broke and predicted plenty of upsets, just only the first one not going too well. Had Salah made the pass properly to Jota minutes before we conceded, could have been a different half but we are living dangerously.

Re Liverpool partnership, yeah I think they mulled the possibility at one point but that's probably different now with values and direction and all that. I do sort of miss Carlsberg for some reason heh heh.

Only one I ever worn is stuff I bought at Anfield but it has become so threadbare it is just a black tee now.

BTTS was the surest thing today and it hit before 30 mins. COYR!

Yeah,Manchester City were dominating the game even in the first half and Liverpool simply has not the firepower to come back as they are still suffering although there is time.From the pressure being all in Manchester City in the end of the first half,it is now the pressure completely on Arsenal but I doubt Arsenal will have problems winning against Leeds.The odd of 1.29 for them to me is low but I think they are going to get a narrow win.

For Liverpool it is a shame though that they were in advantage and completely lost it and could not do a better job in this game,their fight to get a spot for the Champions League it comes and it becomes even more difficult to achieve.

The pressure keeps growing on Manchester City as if they fail to win this game it is most likely game over for the title fight for them if Arsenal wins their game later on the day.In fact Arsenal has an easy game which I am sure they are going to win while Liverpool wants a lot of points in order to have a chance to go the Champions League so they are doing great so far and I would not even be surprised at all if I see a win from Liverpool in the second half.They have played well in the first half putting Manchester City in quite some difficulties but Manchester City is trying really hard to get the win so it would be interesting to see how this game ends.

Tonight game is a final between Bayern Munchen vs Dortmund.Bayern is the favorite because they are playing at their home and history and statistics are on their side.However no one of us should underestimate a Dortmund coming from more than 12-13 games without losing one,this should be enough of a reason for Tuchel to do his calculations really well in order to win this game.That 1.45 odd for Bayern Munchen honestly looks ridiculous to say the least as personally I am going to try a double chance on Dortmund win or draw because the odd should be well over 2 for such option.Bottom line this is the most beautiful Bundesliga game to watch on TV everybody.

Well this is not one of the most well known leagues and it is good for all us gamblers who keep playing sport betting consistently to have some info about such leagues also as sometimes in the less well known leagues is where all the money is made so congratulations on opening such thread.

I personally have never gambled on Indian Premier League games exactly because I have no idea about the league and the games so I am reading here a bit and once I will have a better idea I will probably start betting on this league also.
4086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining GPU Coins in 2023 on: April 01, 2023, 09:40:25 AM
I'm making a list of coins you can mine with GPUs in 2023. I'm talking about solid, chad and based coins, not the grifting ones.

So far on my list there is;

Conflux
Kaspa
Ironfish
Prasaga
Aleo(.)org
Minima(.)Global

Anyone have any other suggestions to add this to the list?

I’ve never heard of any of those coins. I can’t say I’d want to hold anything that I don’t need to use for something. I always say the smart thing to do is to use GPUs to mine BTC using a service like NiceHash. That removes the gambling aspect of holding a coin that’s sole purpose is to pump and hope to sell for more later.

This really depends though.I also think that is a good idea for people who are in only for Bitcoin and this is a great way to little by little get some amount every day with our mining rigs.This was very popular in 2018 and since then the popularity has come on the decrease because of making better crypto rewards by mining directly the coin we are interested.

The gambling side of it can be removed easily now as there are wallets that support at least 500 hundred cryptos and have a built in exchange with low fees,like Atomic wallet for example which if the user wants he can convert to Bitcoin as soon as he makes the minimum amount to do so.

- Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know easily gets addicted to new things.

- Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know has a drug use problem.

One week ago was the time when I regretted introducing gambling games to one of my friends. At first I thought he was someone who could easily control situations, easily managed by me, but in fact he just went too far and couldn't control his gambling. It started on a whim and told him to create an account at the casino and I sent him a few dollars. Throughout the game he kept screaming like crazy because he was not given a win. Hit the table for failing to get a Scatter and not getting a big multiple.

Since then I no longer want to introduce games to gambling to anyone because it turns out that people's mentality is different and the purpose of playing affects it all.

Sometimes we start thinking that we are just introducing gambling to someone for him to enjoy like we gamblers enjoy it every time.The problem is that not all the people are the same,some handle their emotions very well some others become very aggressive for such happenings and I can agree with him though,getting the bonus round and getting empty spins is the worse it can happen to a person playing slot machines so I don't blame him that much.

If he was screaming because not getting wins during the normal game play session then most probably gambling is not for him at all as he seems to not be able to control his emotions and these type of persons are the easiest prey to addiction.

the result of this game is somewhat funny, and that Estoril scored a goal at 1 minute, then estoril wasted another great chance to score a goal, and when Estoril scored the second goal the referee said it was offside, although the referee was right , but the annoying thing is that the referee saw this and let the game go on until the goal, one would think that this kind of thing would not happen again in this game, but unfortunately it did, Estoril scored the third goal but the referee said again that it was offside, although once again the referee was right, he let the Estoril player score a goal when he was offside a long time ago these are things that the Portuguese league needs to correct

It's the VAR rules. The referees must let the play end to call the offside. If it's a goal, then VAR checks it, if it's not a goal it will be decided by the referee on the field.

It really doesn't make much sense, when the offside is clear and far from the goal. But, unfortunately, the rules currently exist.

It totally does not make sense yet I love VAR despite having failed me many sport tickets.The reason is that now we have a way to replay the action and the referee to see again the action and to decide cold headed,not with the heat of the action that he is following in the game.It has decided and impacted many games,some for the worse but a lot more for the benefit of the teams which without a VAR would have the goal disallowed and not having a look at it again and that is why I love VAR as it most of the times save teams from injustice done unintentionally or intentionally by the referee.

I remember a game where he saw several times the VAR in a league I don't remember and I saw that he did not want to give it a goal yet he was forced to give it a goal as everybody saw it was a valid goal.

After seeing the bitcoin price just above $ 28k and anyone who predicts a bitcoin price of $ 27,501 - $ 30,000 in the March prediction will certainly get a win as well as a profit on the bet, now just waiting for the prize payment to come in within 48 hours, I will bet again on the bitcoin price prediction for april if i get profit on march prediction. BTW congratulations to the winner of the bitcoin price prediction

The price has been steady over 28.000 dollars most of the time in these last days and last week or last 2 weeks to be precise so it was an easy prediction for those who predicted that range during this time but I assume the odd to have been low.

For people who predicted this price at the beginning of the month then for them is a huge congratulation as the odd should have been really substantial and that people who were bold enough to bet enough money got a nice substantial amount for their prediction.

So as many of us I assume had predicted that Verstappen will get pole,he got pole.The interesting fact is that Perez is out of the qualification and he will start last which will make this race interesting to watch as he having right now the best car of the grid should be in all in attack.I am impressed by Mercedes improved performance and I never knew they would be so close to Max in qualifying,disappointed with Ferrari which in the free practices showed good signs of recovery but when it comes to the real deal they still are behind.Alonso and Aston Martin will not have that an easy race tomorrow either as they have to pass Mercedes on track.

Finally we are back at having Premier League action back and words cannot describe how boring weekends without Premier League action are.Sure we had the national teams but they just made last weekend even more boring with a lot of surprise results from the big names there,especially Denmark losing to Kazakhstan and Czech Republic not being able to win against Moldova,these were the biggest surprise which cost of us a lot of money.

We start the Premier League with a hot game that is Manchester City vs Liverpool.A single error from Manchester City during this game and I think it will be a definite game over for the title race for them.

On a side note,on April's fool day I always love what theymos comes up with  Grin.
4092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why we are not seeing a native wallet for .. on: March 31, 2023, 09:06:49 PM
I meant here why people keep supporting a centralized coin against a decentralized one as it does not make sense to be in the mercy of a bunch of "people/stake validators/keepers/deciders" that decide what will be Ethereum doing in the future rather than following a decentralized coin where not a bunch of people decide anything,that was my point.

It's like sports. People start doing it primarilly for fun and exercise. If you're good it attracts money and sport becomes business.
All the other reasons for doing it become less important, it's all about the money now.

Who cares about decentralization and blockchain validation, it's about money now. That was sarcastic.


Aha OK,my bad for not getting it,I thought how come a CPU miner developer was saying these things for real  Cheesy.

Then it shows that unfortunately the ETHW team is not that serious if they have not come up with a native wallet and all what other people are saying about them becomes true to me,they lack expertise and they even called some outside firm to launch their blockchain.I assume being a prominent miner (Chandler Guo) does not make you an experienced leader to lead a team in a good project like ETHW.
If the company was serious, they would change the algorithm so that there are no ASICs and make the coin available to every home miner.
Changing the algorithm to ProgPoW is easy. I don't care about their wallet, because the profit on video cards is very small.

I don't care much about ASICS at this point as if you see in most of the pools where this coin is being mined you will see a huge difference in miners mining this coin compared to miners mining ETC.The same can be said for people who dual mine this coin with ZIL and for people who dual mine ETC with ZIL the difference is really big in numbers.For example in Ezil.me pool you will see over 20.000 miners dual mining ETC with ZIL and just over 900 miners dual mining ETHW with ZIL so ASICS are the least of my concern right now as they are not being an obstacle to me in getting a nice daily amount of ETHW.
4093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining GPU Coins in 2023 on: March 31, 2023, 08:39:56 PM
Are you mining those coins?

If the goal is to look for a solid coin, with a future ahead of it, and which is not going to lose almost all its value in some time, I can say Ethereum Classic.
Year after year the coin is still alive, obviously it doesn't have Vitalik's brilliant mind behind it, but it fulfills its role of continuing the original ETH network.
It would be a good choice for a more secure future.

I can also mention RVN - Ravencoin, which since 2018 has remained relevant for miners.
In a likely Bitcoin bull run RVN has good chances (in my opinion) to appreciate quite a bit, as I've seen happen a few times.
As for the ETC I mentioned above, I don't believe it can do more than 2 or 4x of the current price.

If you provide more info about the coins you choose, you can make this thread more relevant
I confess that I know almost nothing about these coins you mentioned: Ironfish and Prasaga

Mining ETC is not that smart in my opinion also as the rewards for 100 Mhsh are just above 0.01 ETC daily usually in 0.012 to 0.014 ETC depending on the difficulty.Most of the miners transferred the ETH hash rate to ETC and that is why the difficulty of it has skyrocketed but the price has remain in the same levels as before the migration of this new hash rate or even worse.

I also agree that without providing further evidence as why the OP is explicitly mining these coins I don't agree that much with that least except for Kaspa which has seen a drastic increase in price lately.
4094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: March 31, 2023, 08:18:51 PM
The result of the Scotland game against Spain was what many football fans never predicted and watching the Scottish national team make history last night gave me goosebumps. The noise from the fans in the stands was deafening and that is the beauty of football. Spain came into that game thinking that it'll be a walk over for them but the Scottish players had another thought and that was why they played the match with precision, resilience and determination to win.
Scotland's wins over Spain was so surprising to me. With the pressures from Spain, the had every chance to win Scotland but in football the game can most times be unpredictable.
McTominay is a brilliant striker who happens to be at the right place at the right time and he never mises his target. Tierney did a very good job on the run with his opponents giving McTominay  a smoot pass for a wonderful finishing.
Indeed, Scotland deserves the applause even though all thought was on Spain to win.
I would guess that it was even a bigger shock to Spanish people as well. Scotland is rarely this big in the football world, they have a decent nation, just near England, so it's good, but it's not Spain levels, they have the worlds biggest football league, so not being able to come up with good Spanish players is a big problem for them. I get that you can have foreign players but not having any decent Spanish ones to represent the nation is becoming a huge problem.

I guess they need to renovate the whole idea from the bottom to top, like from the youth academy levels to new levels which would become a lot better for them in the next 10 to 20 years.

Scotland fully deserved the win.Luis Enrique experiment needs time to bring to life a super Spain as he is betting on the really young players and they need time until they harmonize together,I think he has the blessing of Spain as he is going to be considered a new hero as I am pretty confident in the next World Cup we will see a super Spain.I don't believe we will see a really dangerous Spain in this Euro although I think they will have not the slightest problem in qualifying for the Euro,who knows maybe the experiment of Enrique come earlier than predicted and Spain maybe wins this Euro cup but against a super performing France I doubt anyone has better chances than France to win this upcoming Euro 2024.

F1 and MotoGp are working to have 1 racing weekend on the same track on the same day.

I don't know what to think about it...

For us fans nothing except that it would be great.I am saying great if we have one race before and then the after as there is no logic in using the same track and using both moto and car racing,I know this would be super awesome if it ever happens but it is extremely dangerous for the riders as the drivers I doubt they would have any problems with riders around them but if a car hit a moto then there will be big problems and big injuries.

I would love a weekend which we would have both MotoGP and F1 races one after another,for me the weekend without major leagues of Europe in soccer and without racing has no sense at all.

Im going to wait to the FP3 to put my picks, because this second practice was pure rain, so no clues for us.
Every seems to be identical to the other races sadly.

This time i can wait for the FP3 because here its gonna be Friday at 22.30, nice hour, and the qualy its at something like 2am, so when the FP ended i can took my phone out on a bar with a couple of drinks and put my predictions after checking the results of FP3.

You are lucky to live in Argentina then,at least for this race  Grin,I of course put my picks already and I don't intend to change them at all,I am confident in another podium for Alonso,in fact if I were to gamble with the picks I would go for a Alonso win as if it rains I am pretty sure that Alonso can win this race,he together with Hamilton are some great rain drivers but Hamilton lacks performance in his car compared to Alonso.

If I happen to wake up at 4 AM European time I am sure I can change my picks without losing the 2 EBP but that sound like an almost impossible task for me especially now that is weekend  Grin.

Alonso is getting more and more comfortable with every lap he is doing on this AM and if he continues to deliver like this , Aston Martin development can sky rocket due to the feedback Alonso is providing and with engineers so capable behind this team , I'm sure they will deliver a championship car next year.

I also thinking he can achieve another podium on Sunday and if that happens , I don't see Ferrari fighting for 2nd championship places like last year because Stroll even if he won't have the same pace like Alonso , he is constant and he can deliver that top 6 for most of the season that result in important points.

I also agree that Alonso the more drives this car the better he becomes at it,of course all those years of experience in a car which he has claimed 2 times already that this car is very enjoyable to drive will achieve such results.It is I think also because Aston Martin is constantly working on upgrading this car and Alonso will be there to reap the benefits,I would not be surprised at all if Alonso one or a couple of races during season as we saw that Redbull supremacy was not that huge in last race despite dominating the race,they did not create a huge gap like in the first race.

On a side note everybody do not forget to put your picks as the qualification is early in the morning tomorrow so if you forget you lose those precious 2 EBP points.
4098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining in AWS with leftover credits on: March 31, 2023, 01:58:39 PM
Hello,

I've got some leftover credits in AWS (around $75k) that will expire in a few months. No one will use them so they will just be lost. I am trying to find a way spend it to make some profit.

What crypto do you recommend to mine? Is there anything where the profit/spend ratio will be reasonable (at least 50%).

Any other ideas how to spend it? Thanks



As far as I know AWS has locked the option of mining but since you have a lot of money to spend as 75.000 dollars is truly a lot of money any coin you try to mine you will be in profit as you are using gift money.I would mine any coin I see fit and that is compatible with the servers you have for use in AWS.

For other ideas,you can open up a cracking password service,wallet recovery service for cryptos but this needs a lot of expertise compared to mining so if you have that expertise go ahead and do this second option but keep in mind that you need clients for this,so mining rests the primary use case for that huge amount of money.
4099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot Tournaments - Ever Heard of it? on: March 31, 2023, 10:00:59 AM
Slot tournament involves slot players who are playing between themselves to see who can win the most coins1. Winner of the competition is determined by the person who wins the most number of coins. In the past it used to be held in a brick and mortar casinos but with the advent of online casinos. More flexible time limits is the only rule that exist in the online version of the competition that does not apply to the regular rules when played in the land-based casino.

Slot tournaments are of two types2 - freeroll and buy-in. In the former, participants aren't required to pay any fee to participate. In fact, it may even be part of the casino's promotional offers while in the latter, participants pay to take part in the competition. Other types include - scheduled, comped, signup freeroll, survivor, one-shot, PCH, reloader, and extender tournaments. So basically, the way the tournaments run is this - you register to participate in the competition, you will be given the same amount of credits with the other participants, after which, you play at the slot for a specified time. The goal is simply to stack up as much coins as you can more than the others to be declared the winner of the tournament.

Have you participated in any slot tournament whether online or offline before? Did you like it? Generally, let me know your thoughts on this.

1. https://www.casinolifemagazine.com/blog/complete-guide-online-slot-tournaments
2. https://www.slotsmate.com/slots-tournaments

I have always participated in tournaments that many casino usually do from time to time as part of their ongoing promotions.I have always be active in for example Pragmatic Play and Play n Go tournaments which held the same format,they offer you some game to play and the person with the most amount wagered during the time frame that the tournament will be active wins the tournament and so on is also classified 2nd best up to fifth place in Play n Go and up to 10-20th place in Pragmatic Play which usually held them longer,for a month most of the time.These were freeroll tournaments as I never use Buy ins.

Many have tried but that is a full time job,beside that is very difficult to implement now as you need to have accounts in good standing in at least 100 gambling sites in order to win a very low amount in percentage from 1% to 5% at max and the reward is not that big,this is why the people who still do it,do it in groups of people,they rent an office and divide the work between them.There are several websites that offer a help for these people where you pay a subscription fee and they bring you all the options to arbitrage betting,for me most well known one is Betburger website.
