I finally find GTX 1660 super for 110$ each, something I have wised for before the end of Ethereum mining, tell me how this is not an attractive deal right now, I also read that mining more than one coin on a Graphic card is the best way to make profits out of them, the question have right now is how good this card is for multiple coins mining.
I would build a rig with 10-12 of such cards for almost 1800 dollars in total but only if I have them sitting around or won them from mining or other activities beside my salary.The reason is simple and that is 12 such cards will only consume about 700 watt plus the parts in total 800-850 watt and that is not a big problem no matter the electricity,you can get more than 300 Mhsh of hash power and dual mine ETC+ZIL or ETHW+ZIL or if you feel like it ETHF+ZIL,and in turn you can make a good amount of crypto daily,notice that I didn't say a good amount of fiat money,when the next bull run will come you would be happy,meanwhile you can stake the ZIL you make to get 15% extra in a year. With that setup right now you make near 0.30 ETHW daily and about 10-11 ZIL daily,as I said in FIAT money they are nothing,but who knows what they are worth in the next bull run,so only invest if you are in for the long run and not the quick buck. |

It's ridiculous, Alonso got 10 second time penalty for not serving penalty correctly. Ok, rules are rules, but why did they waited so long to make decision and announced it after podium? So, now Russel becomes 3rd. Perez is doing great in city circuits, it's his 5th win, 4 of them were achieved in street circuits. Don't know why they even called this a safety car.
Stroll was outside the track, now Max got an huge advantage and he will probably win.
For me it also looked strange. Virtual Safety car or even yellow flag would be enough. It helped a lot for Max and with fastest lap he keeps 1st place in championship. That is stupid and intentional,first of all how did they know that they didn't touch the car to become ready and not to gain an advantage but they read it as gaining an advantage which was not the case and this clearly shows the impact that the Mercedes team still has on the FIA together with Redbull who got a Safety Car for nothing,they even justified it that it was because of the GPS saying Stroll parked the car on track,ridiculous decisions during this race which impacted the race for the worse,I think that Alonso fully deserved the podium but that is racing. |

Lazio's narrow win at home over their opponent Roma, made Maurizio Sarri's squad secure full points in this match. As I thought earlier, this match would be very boring and it is likely that the match will end in a narrow score or draw. But indeed, Lazio, which lately always gets minor results, finally won again in important matches. For Roma, they are still struggling to achieve victory in their last few matches and their position in 5 standings will begin to be threatened.
For me Lazio was the favorite in this game seeing their recent form which they have been playing well in Serie A and Roma had a lot of inconsistency and losing to teams like Cremonese and Sassuolo was a big red flag for me,I placed Lazio win or draw at 1.53 just to be sure but I was fully confident that they would win the derby of tonight.They played better and deserved the win,Roma did not show anything and even got a red card to make things worse for them.Lazio fully deserves the second place while they wait for the Inter vs Juventus game to finish,I only wonder why they could not beat Az Alkmar in Conference League as surely they are much better than them but I think events decided that clash and Lazio was unlucky. |

Seems excited behind 10 points left on standing position but PSG left 0-2 right now until 53th minutes from Rennes, will be different later if PSG loss points and another game Marseille win from Reims will start few hours later. I hope have any team can stop with PSG points in Ligue 1 and seems boring when looking the winner Ligue 1 tittle dominance every years by PSG.
if the score is 0-2 last until the last minute seems excited for marseille winning match against Reims, have bigger motivation make close position with PSG on standing and up coming next games PSG have loss points again until Marseille can back to the top standing position although with little chance. I don't want to talk too much about PSG's loss because I think they are really having problems defensively because there are a lot of players on the injury list. It is known that a number of PSG defenders have suffered injuries, including Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe. While I would not think the defeat to Rennes would make PSG in danger of losing the Ligue 1 title this season. PSG are still 9 points ahead of Lens or maybe 7 points ahead of Marseille if the last team wins the match against Reims. Well it is difficult to understand such lost games from Paris with all the super star players they have in their composition.It is most likely that they do not give a damn now because they are some points forward and they have enough time to make such tricks like not caring if they lose a game or two.The second place is already 9 points behind and if Marseille will win tonight the difficult game they have against Reims they will still be 7 points behind PSG which they need 3 games to recover.Now we are in March and there is not much time but I think Paris is just making the Ligue 1 more interesting to watch,in the end they are going to win it as always so they cannot call this a failed season. |

-snip If there is anyone who has some other recommendation about the prize distribution system they can write to the thread.  distribution seems fair, although I would like to see more players rewarded, maybe up to position 10 it would scale down top3 rewards, but would get more people satisfied with prize pool nevertheless, it is good as it is as well back to race, Max is back to position 2, and Alonso is close to another podium The race just ended and I found the exact persons on the podium but I would have got the yellow cap if Verstappen was first and Perez second,nevertheless happy that Verstappen did the fastest lap in the end of the race which I think has given me enough points to enjoy for this second race and consolidate my position in the standings of this pool. While the race was entertaining to watch as Verstappen started 15th I think that we all realized tonight that Redbull is going to win every single race of this season if other cars do not sweat out at work,Redbull was more than one second faster than Aston Martin which was the second fastest car from the field. |

Things can be really interesting after this goal scored by Leverkusen just now. They have scored a penalty and got 2-1 ahead in the match now.
The first half was really awkward. Bayern Munich had only one goal attempt in the whole half but still they managed to finish the half 1-0 ahead. In the second half Bayern Munich started to keep the match more balanced. But this time Leverkusen have made a really incredible comeback now. Their job won't be easy about keeping this advantage to the end truthfully. But if they do Dortmund will finish a week as the leader for the first time after a long time I assume. This will be very important for Dortmund on the road to the title.
I think now Dortmund will be very happy with Bayern screwing it up real big.In fact I was extremely surprised when they got the advantage as Leverkussen were dominating completely the game,4-0 with corners and also with shots on goal compared to Bayern Munchen and Munchen got the first goal.Of course I must say that the referee had some impact on this game as he gave two penalties to Leverkussen as without them Leverkussen had difficulties to score despite dominating the game.I never have seen a worse Bayern Munchen than the one of tonight and they will lose this game based on their performance with just 5 minutes of game remaining. |

Don't know why they even called this a safety car.
Stroll was outside the track, now Max got an huge advantage and he will probably win.
They justified themselves by saying that we put the Safety Car in because in the GPS we saw it saying that the Aston Martin has been parked on track and that is why they put the Safety Car in.That was a clearly huge advantage to Max Verstappen but at least Perez did not lose his lead like he did on last year where he lost the lead because he entered the pits 1 lap before the Safety Car coming in.Even if it was no Safety Car I think Max Verstappen would have managed to come third or second,that Redbull looks like another planet,when it surpassed another car Verstappen made it look like F1 vs F2 while F2 I am referring to the other cars,not a single car being able to hold him off,it will be a boring season for us fans. |

Gambling or betting is moving beyond just casinos and sports to other sectors of the economy. There is a thread here on betting for the 2024 United States election, and another one for the Oscars. I have seen people bet on movie characters and all sorts of things. This is not to say that they are addicted to gambling. I think we do it for fun, as a form of socializing. While thinking about it today, I wondered what the strangest bet I had ever had was. I remembered having a bet with my brother that he would give me $80 if I could eat 5 packs of 200g of instant noodles in less than 5 minutes, and if I couldn't, I would give him $90. What is the strangest bet you have ever had?
Luckily I have not done any strange bets as I don't seem to remember having done such bet.I am a conservative in almost everything that I do and as such mostly I play sport bets or slot machines but luckily I don't feel anymore the urge to keep playing slot machines anymore as there is no point,you can't become rich with them while I think with sport betting if done consistently and not with obsession you can make a nice decent amount of extra money every month,this is only my theory though which in practice has not come true  . Some people have bet that they will eat sh*t of someone else if they lost what they called a sure bet,but that is clearly disgusting and I don't think I can call these species human beings,humanity has done a lot of stupid things unfortunately. |

In just over an hour we will start the race in Saudi Arabia. We have many questions, but the key question is how will Verstappen do from 15th place? That can go either way. it will also depend on how many places he can take up with the start, 14 cars in front of you is very difficult to get close right away. Actually, only Perez is really better now, not as a driver but purely because of the fact that he can start 1st later. Also great for Alonso that he is doing so well in the Aston Martin. Leclerc did well in qualifying but the engine was tinkered with so was moved back 10 places. Top speeds of 240 km per hour are reached on this circuit. That's really very very fast.
I think Verstappen is just going to win this. I think they were 1.5 seconds per lap faster than Mercedes in free practice and in the GP, which says something. It is a dangerous circuit because of these high speeds, Max is the one who can handle this best and would still drive through the streets at 500 km per hour if he had to. No other driver dares to ride with such risk and precision, which also sets him apart from the rest. We shouldn't be surprised if Verstappen is already in the first 3 after 10 laps, and then it's countdown. But for Perez it would also be nice to stay ahead of his teammate. Tricky mission for Leclerc from 12th. Verstappen can only win this race if he is helped by a Safety Car as there is no other possibility under normal race conditions as Perez who will start first surely will make a distance no matter that Verstappen is faster than him.He is faster than Perez but they have the same car,so he can only be faster from 0.3-0.5 seconds per lap and this on a very optimistic prediction.Nevertheless all of our doubts will be shortly answered as just 15 minutes from now the race will start.What is nice is that maybe Alonso can overtake Perez in the start which would make the race much but much better to watch then,Alonso is not that fast compared to Redbull so he can play a role in shortening the distance between the cars. |

Do we have a distribution for our Prediction Pool money already @CLS63?
All payments should be in right now and maybe we can give out rewards to all Top 5 positions in our pool?
Maybe make it 50% / 25% / 12.5% / 7.5% and 5% each?
Or only Top 3?
Opinions?
Hello friends. The prize distribution system in my mind for the pool is like this now: 1) 55mbtc 2) 36mbtc 3) 20mbtc 4) 10mbtc 5) 5mbtc 6) 5mbtc(minus tx fees) If there is anyone who has some other recommendation about the prize distribution system they can write to the thread. For me looks perfectly fine but if we want to include like 8-10 prize spots we can also go down the first prize to 40 and second prize to 30 mBtc and distribute these 21 mBtc to the 7-10 prize which can be 3-5 mBtc this way we increase the number of people who win something here.Of course it is much better when we have bigger prizes but if you have a look at the English Premier League pool you will see that the captain there has gone for like 35% of people to get at least something.If we can do that here also it can greatly increase the interest of participants for next season. I fully agree with yours though,just adding a suggestion  . |

Am I the only idiot who placed a bet on Real Sociedad at home who is playing against last place in the standings who is already relegated and they are not able to win while already near the end of the first half.I think that they are not playing that concentrated as the only dangerous attack so far in this first half up until now has been from Elche and it was thanks to Real Sociedad goalkeeper that the result is still 0-0.My further bad move is that I placed Real Sociedad in every ticket that I placed bets today and that is a mistake I should learn from,never to put a game in all my tickets but it looked a sure win on paper for Real Sociedad.

The outcome of Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen will determine if Dortmund will remain in the first position. Their is high probability Bayern Munich will win the game. It is interesting to watch Dortmund and Bayern Munich fighting to be at the top , right now it is still unpredicted to know who will win the league this season.
I think that today it is very much possible, that Bayern Munich will not win their match against Bayer Leverkusen. In the last few games Bayern Leverkusen was in a very good shape both in the Bundesliga and also in the Europa League. Leverkusen has a very talented squad with a lot of young players that have a huge potential. If they are feeling well and confident they can be dangerous to every other club. In addition to that Leverkusen is playing at home, so this is another small advantage for them. That being said, Bayern Munich is stil the strongest team of the Bundesliga by far and if everything goes relatively normal, then Bayern should win today too, but you never know. I think Bayern is more fresh,I mean Bayern Munchen and when they are at a better physical condition they usually can win games,I doubt that they will not win in the game of tonight as any result except win here puts their campaign to win the title in danger,yesterday Dortmund showed that it was only a mistake that they made against Schalke and it won't happen again. Bayern Leverkussen despite winning easily at Ferencvarosh in Europa League they have played at Thursday night which will make exactly 3 days when the game between them and Bayern Munchen starts,so physically speaking Bayern Munchen should win easily this game. |

For me what is important is that the reward and bonus program to be one of the best as most reputable casinos offer already a huge variety and selection of games,also most of them offer near instant deposits and withdrawal,the age is a very important factor for me also as that shows how much the casino have been operating.For the token I am in doubt,if it gives me some sort of benefit if I invest in it why not as the casino is one of the most profitable business out there,I always see people in the casino chat complaining how they lost all of their money and not because of the casino fault but because of their greed.Reputation and help desk are important but if you have been around crypto long enough you will see that you won't need the help desk at all if you play fair and do not try to cheat the casino.So to re-assume here is my ranking, Huge variety of games and different sections (10 but almost all casinos have it now) Good bonus/reward program 11 for me Good looking intuitive and fast user interface 4 Good help desk 6 Reputation 10 The age of the site 10 Casino own token that pays dividends 10 (if I can invest ) 4 if not Instant deposits and payments 10 No KYC 4 Nr of payment methods 10 for me as I like a lot of currencies to choose from,they make a difference when you bet in sport betting. |

Just speaking the truth... Ferrari approached again with Charles Leclerc being a thousandths slower, but we know very well, because it's no secret to anyone that Ferrari drive much better on Saturdays than on Sundays  Anyway, apart from the truth above, if you can say something about this classification is that nothing went as expected because I had Max Verstapen being the big favorite in the grid definition... but what I saw is that the leader of the championship, despite of even letting rivals get close, ended up being the victim of a problem that can affect any driver. Lucky for Sergio Pérez... will he be able to take advantage of this pole position? Perez will try to take advantage of the pole position but then there's a possbilty that if Verstappen squeezes himself into second place and the gap between him and Perez isn't more than 5 seconds and with Verstappen closing in at every lap, we'll def see team orders here. Dunno... We've seen it a couple of times last year with RBR and a lot of times over the years in F1... It's gonna be hilarious but what choice do they have? If Verstappen is gaining ever lap might as well get ahead of themselves and let Verstappen pass. It would suck for the fans tho as we wanna see these guys race. I don't think that there is that big of a difference between the drivers judging from their starting positions,Perez if able to get out first from the first corner has a clear road ahead of him which gives him a great chance to start increasing the gap to Verstappen.Verstappen may start to do faster laps only after the third lap which is the lap that the DRS is enabled and since he most likely will be chasing cars I think that DRS can help him move up the grid but unfortunately this won't be enough to stop Perez who probably has already created the distance.There are a lot of scenarios for this race but a Safety Car here would greatly enhance the chances of Verstappen for a win,in every other way I doubt he can win if no Safety Car has entered the track. |

Does anybody else think that Verstappen will continue to have mechanical or technical issues at the race? I still have him finishing first in the race like what we saw last year when he had a grid penalty to I think 12th on the grid. But as he's stlll using the same power unit, who knows what could happen... It's gonna be a treat to watch him try and pass all the guys in front of him. Hamilton, Russell, Leclerc, Sainz and Alonso. But we'll see. A DNF for him is also possible imho. I think based on the bookies,in all of them without exception he has an odd of 2.30-2.40 to win the race in all these different bookies while starting 15th which does not make sense so I am assuming he will have no mechanical problems or are the bookies f*cking with us maybe because Perez starting from pole position with the same car has an odd of 2.10-2.20 in these different bookies,so I got and placed a bet on him to win the race,normally in normal conditions he should be able to pull away as Verstappen has to deal with a lot of drivers in front of him and some good ones like Leclerc right ahead of him a couple of positions.I also have Verstappen as a winner and did not change it but let's see how events unfold in a couple of hours. |

Only 15 minutes to go before Arsenal game starts and I'm expecting 3 points from the today and at least 2 goals after they managed to get out from Europa League , they need to show the fans that they are still 100% focused on winning EPL.
Predictions from my side are Arsenal to score in both halves and Crystal Palace to get 3 yellow cards.
Same, I also expect three points for Arsenal win. Crystal Palace also has a problem recently they have not a very good record in premier league in their last five matches. So there is no reason for Arsenal to lose or draw in this match, moreover this match will be held at the Emirates Stadium (home). I guess Arsenal will lead at half time with a score of 2-0, hopefully my guess is right this time. Arsenal has no justification if they cannot win this game,especially after screwing up really big in Europa League,I hadn't seen the goal they conceded but some friend told me about it and they had conceded it from such a high distance that their goalkeeper I don't know who that is but for me he is plain dumb,what was he doing so much forward when the ball was in the midfield,mediocre goalkeeper all the way. Now Arsenal should be only focused on the Premier League and they should extend their lead by winning tonight against Crystal Palace,sure Crystal Palace may have changed their coach but I don't expect them to hold back Arsenal. |

If I had more than 1 Bitcoin in my portfolio I would surely take this,I would take 1 million dollars as for 90 days I doubt Bitcoin price will be more than 100.000 dollars let alone 1.000.000 dollars,I know in the long run Bitcoin price may surpass the amount but in 90 days I don't even think this is a gamble,for me this is just plain free money that the guy doing such thing can afford to lose 1 million dollars.
I know though that most likely this is not true from the Twitter page he just has thrown this kind of gamble for fun but if the guy truly want to do this,I can borrow 30k buy a Bitcoin and do the gamble because as I said it is free money or even better the guy sends 1 million dollar and I give him back 1 Bitcoin,for 90 days there is no risk for me .

Some people expected good results from Lewis Hamilton in this race but he is now complaining about his car and saying he is not really connected with Mercedes machine.
I placed him high fourth place in my Superbu predictions but I don't think he can finish that high after hearing his complains, unless this is his strategy and mind games.
If you had to pick one driver not to finish Saudi Arabia Grand Prix who would you pick?
I have gone for some conventional bets and unconventional ones.The conventional ones are Perez to win and Under 16.5 cars to finish the race while for the unconventional I have gone with Aston Martin the team with the most points and McLaren both cars to finish in the points zone.As you see I didn't even care to place a bet on Mercedes and Hamilton because I don't know and I cannot read the performance of Mercedes cars and if I had to pick a driver not to finish in this race I would pick Leclerc or Verstappen as they start in the back of the grid so there are higher chances of collisions for them. |

Milan just look like they are lost in this season. Because they have been quite inconsistent in general during the season. They improved their form at some point but now they are again maintaining a bad one for a couple of weeks. They started the Udinese match really badly actually but they were able to collect themselves later on. This was still not enough against Udinese to take the advantage to their side. Udinese are still 3-1 ahead which means Milan are back to the same old defense issues.
Milan are just risking even their top 4 chance for this season. They are mostly focused on the Champions League seemingly.
Strange this lost game of Milan.Udinese is not one of the stronger teams of the Serie A and despite being a good one the rare cases that they have won against bigger teams have been with narrow results like 1-0 and something along these lines.Milan I don't know what they are thinking but surely they are risking a lot with these results,they drew against Salernitana in the last game at home and now they are going and losing heavily against Udinese,things surely are not looking good for them and this lost game just aggravates things further.Both Roma and Atalanta now can have a chance to pass Milan as I doubt they will turn things around with just 10 minutes of game including overtime. Even in Champions League they are facing Napoli which is in super form so I am not expecting them to pass but anything can happen. |

It looks like Alonso has another big chance ahead to finish a race on podium. He is going to start in second position already thanks to Leclerc's ten-place grid penalty. Alonso is really fast with Aston Martin's new car and he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity as much as possible. We all know how competitive and ambitious Alonso is as well. Hence he would even like to fight for the championship this season. But it is better to be realistic mostly as his chance is not too much against Verstappen.
Verstappen's starting in 15th position is really unfortunate for him. But I still expect him to climb to top and win the race as well. Because his car is like a rocket now and he is an amazing driver to use this for his advantage.
I think if the odd of Alonso to win the race is over 3 is worth trying,even if he does not win,it can greatly increase our emotions while we are watching the race.I am sure he will be giving his 101% despite his age to try and maximize on every opportunity that will be shown to him during this race.The big favorite is Perez of course to win the race tomorrow and Verstappen to be in top 3 would be a nice bet also.Judging how things are I think that with those bets,especially Perez to win which has more chances than Alonso and Verstappen to be in top three are kinda like "free money" although in motorsport an engine failure can make everything go in vain. |
