Barcelona 2:1 Dynamo Kyiv. Another difficult win, considering that Dynamo were missing 13 main squad players. Good to see ter Stegen back, he is one of reasons why we won game, he made a lot great saves. But after all, 9 points after 3 games is great result. Sevilla, wow, they were losing 0:2 and in the end of 1st half Navas got red card, but they still managed to win game. Impressive. MU is MU and I don't know what to say about them ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Good that I saty away from betting on them. Except this result, there were no more big surprises and it bring me nice profit today - won all my bets that I posted previously. Leipzig win against PSG without Neymar and Mbappe isn't surprise at all.

WTF I just did today ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ? I was sure that I left predictions for games, but when early matches was already in play, I noticed that I haven't left any predictions. It's pity, because I had Zenit 1:1 Lazio in my mind. What is even more ridiculous that when I made my predictions for late games just few minutes before kick-off, I mistyped 3:4 In Chelsea Rennes game, instead of 3:1. It's good lesson for me.. At least this round is very profitable for me in betting.

Tonight most of games doesn't looks very exciting. Leipzig - PSG games looks most interesting. PSG will play without Neymar and Mbappe, while Leipzig were destroyed by MU last week. IMO,betting on PSG is quite risky, so my pick is BTTS @1,53 and over 2,5 @1.66. MU doesn't look good so far, excpet their big win last week, but I think they aren't bad enough to lose against Basaksehir. Though, I tend to avoid betting on them. Zenit - Lazio. BTTS @1.72. Brugge - Borussia. Borussia ML 1.60. In other games favorite is more than obvious. So, will go with over/under: Barcelona - Dynamo Kyiv under 4.5 @1.62 Over 2.5 in Chelsea - Rennes @1.62, Ferencvaros - Juventus @1.55 and Sevilla - Krasnodar @1.55.

Salzubrg - Bayern, what a game it was. High intensity, attacking football without midfield. Difficult Bayern win, maybe final result don't reflect it - on last 10 minutes it was obvious that Salzburg players were exhausted. Atalanta 0:5 Liverpool. What a performance by Liverpool. And another big loss for Atalanta this season. Very important win for Real and situation in this group looks very interesting. Inter in the bottom, but just 3pts from 1st place. Shakhtar 0:6 Borussia M. Maybe it's not surprising that Borussia won game, but 6 goals, wow! What a shitty performance by Shakhtar. And I can't call city draw as big surprise. And last thing, thanks City for late goal which won me over 2.5 goals bet ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

@SFR10 gave good suggestion. If you will set up Facebook pages in the same way as you made your Service Announcement, probably you won't get many customers. No offence at all, but service announcement should look more professional, eye-catching. I suggest you to take a look at other services threads in this board to get ideas how it should look to get more attention and interest. BTW, you haven't mentioned, do you accept escrow for payment. It's also important thing. Good luck!

I'm not against such idea, but as you say, trust system isn't moderated and it's very unlikely that such restriction will be implemented. Though, before trust systemadded scammer tags to some members and I think that some people still have such tag. I haven't received messages from someone with negative trust or active flag against him recently, so I don't remember, is it any kind of warning is displayed there? If not, it should be. Something similar when you receive PM from newbie. But warning should be bigger and brighter.

@big_daddy, nice analysis. I just want to give my input about Shakhtar - I wouldn't say that they are in perfect series. Yes, win against Real and draw against Inter is great result. But they aren't doing very well in national league, 4 draws mainly against weak teams, while usually they don't have serious competitors there other than Dynamo Kyiv. But I'm backing them tonight, also it seems that almost all their player recovered from Covid and will play tonight. Ajax will miss some players today, but I think they still should win this game. I also will back Liverpool, Atalanta doesn't looks so good now. It should be great game. I would like to see Inter winning, but it will be very difficult without Lukaku.

It's not supposed to be clickable. I haven't seen any other forum which allow clickable links in avatar. And actually, avatars weren't made to put advertisements there. It's personal space where you're supposed to upload image which will respresent you on forum. About last part of your question. Yeah, there is no way to check success rate of such ad and how many people saw it. It's something similar like billboards in the streets. You also can't click on it, but people see it, content of ad stuck in their head and this is how it works. Maybe some PR experts can explain this thing better than me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

Oh and just heard that covid has spread at Ajax. Lots of players getting sick.
If someone are planning to bet on Ajax, I think it's better to reconsider it. Despite it, odds for their win webt down from 2.15 to 1.95. Maybe someone is going with Midtjylland win? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Real - Inter should be a great game. Real don't have right to make more mistakes. And for me odds for Shakhtar win looks interesting. I'm not so sure that they can't beat Borussia M. at home.

Entertaining race, although a bit too many reliability issues.
Before the VSC, Hamilton was 27s in front of Bottas, and making fastest lap after fastest lap. He was always going to win. The race director isn't a Mercedes employee, he doesn't decide security stuff to please Mercedes or Hamilton, otherwise explain the penalties Hamilton got recently ? And Mercedes would probably even have preferred a Bottas win, that could have helped in their contract negotiation with Lewis...
I'm not saying that it was intentional thing, maybe it's just coincidence, but it looked really strange. And Lewis don't need stewards help to win race, he had enough gap to overtake Bottas after his pit stop. I just don't get how Bottas win would help in negotiation with Lewis? Maybe Hamilton will try a other challenge or it is an attempt to position oneself better in contract poker. For a long time ago Raikkönen search a new challenge and switched to rallying, it was a mistake but a New challenge. For Hamilton in my opinion, the last few years after rosberg have not been a real challenge but have to motivate yourself more than that he was challenged.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not first time when he have doubts about his future in F1. IMO, it'sjust attempt to get better contract conditions or he he just want to focus on racing and become champion officially before signing new contract. But it's true that he didn't had much challenge in F1 since Rosberg retired. And I don't think that Kimi WRC career was mistake. Yes, he didn't achieved anything significant,but as you say, he was just looking for new challenges.

Believe it or not, in our city you are obliged to wear both a face mask and face shield the most foolish thing you heard this year. If you don't do so, you will gonna pay some fined if you get caught. about 500 pesos equivalent to 10$. what a foolish thing to implement, right? https://issuu.com/mindanaoexaminernewspaper/docs/mindanaoexaminer391Damn, it's really ridiculous and stupid thing. At least fines isn't big. Wearing a face mask and a face shield on top of each other sounds a bit extreme. But honestly what is so bad with wearing a mask? It hurts no one and could make a mask at home so don't even have to pay money for it. Imagine you can save 1 life by wearing a mask. Wouldn't it be worth it?
One thing is to wear mask for 30 minutes at supermarket and another thing when you have to wear it all day long at work. Especially if your work is physical - mask become wet very fast and you will feel uncomfortable. And question how these masks is effective. Italy never stopped to use masks, even in summer you had to wear it in the street. But second wave still hit them, same like countries which had less restrictions. And now it's worse, during first lockdown daily cases never crossed 10k and now they have 20-30k daily cases.

Did anyone watched Valencia - Getafe game? It was fun game to watch. Valencia were leading, but Correia got second yellow card on 56 minute. Then Valencia struggled and Getafe managed to equalize result and finally take a lead on 94th minute. I was happy because I predicted 1:2 Getafe win. But on next attack Valencia player fouled and penalty was given. There was a lot of drama and referee had to show some yellow and red card to Getafe players. And finally on 100th minute Valencia took a point from this game.

I can consider myself as Christian, though I'm not religious person. But I don't see nothing wrong when someone mock religion. And no matter which religion - Christianity, Islam or any other. C'mon, we are living in XXI century and it's normal that not everyone believes in these things. After all, we have freedom of speech. If someone got offended by cartoon, it's his problem. People are just too sensitive these days and they overreact to things that they don't like. I'm not talking just about religions, but about everything in general.

Seems that more and more countries are going into lockdown. I'm not sure that's right decision. Yeah, lockdown will reduce spread of virus, but won't stop it. And I'm not sure that lockdown is solution. Virus is here to stay and we should learn how to live with it. We can't live in lockdown until vaccine will be made. There is no guarantee that safe, working and effective vaccine will be found after all. Also, emotional health of people is another big problem. People are tired to live in uncertainty when you don't know what will happen tomorrow, all these restrictions, fears and etc. I'm not even talking about economy killed by complete lockdowns. During first lockdown in country between March and end of May there was little over 1000 total cases, but everything was closed and people were in fear. Now we having 1000 DAILY cases, but most people aren't in panic and trying to live normal life. But seems that ur government are planning to make anther lockdown :/... There is some countries which are handling Covid-19 very well and there is no second wave - Australia, New Zealand, China. Also, interesting thing from Slovakia, they are testing entire population of country: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54747022I thought that such intensive testing isn't possible. Interesting what results it will give and maybe other countries will follow this example.

Overtaking was really difficult in Imola as expected, but can't say that race was boring. End of it was a bit crazy. Bottas is really unlucky today, virtual safety car ruined race for him. Though, with late pit stop Hamilton probably would have overtaken him after all. Another bad day for Verstappen - he had chance to finnish 2nd, but his tyre blowout. Another podium for Ricciardo, so happy for my favorite driver and respect to Hamilton for doing shoey ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Great P4 for Kvyat, his overtake over Leclerc was masterclass. Though, I doubt that this result will save his seat in Alpha Tauri. Some strange moments - Russel managed to crash during safety car, it was ridiculous moment. Stroll hit his mechanic during pit stop, fortunately he is fine after accident. The virtual Safety Car exactly before the passing of Hamilton in the starting line and with a duration exactly equal to the length of his pit stop is a joke. They could just wait 5 more seconds and don't gift him this huge bonus.
Yeah, I also didn't liked it. VSC phase was so short that it looked like it was made only to let Hamilton to make free pit stop.

What a shameful performance. Only maybe last 10-15 minutes where similar to football that we should play against teams like Alaves. Though, then they had only 10 men on pitch and had to park a bus. And Neto mistake is something ridiculous. Stop the ball and pass it - it's basics of football, it's unbeleavable to see such mistakes on this level. 8 points after 6 games, don't know what to say about it. What stuck to my eyes today is Koeman - he just sit on bench today with zero emotions and no reaction to action on the pitch...

Alfa Romeo won't change their drivers lineup and extended contracts with Raikkonen and Giovinazzi: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-alfa-romeo-to-retain-raikkonen-and-giovinazzi-in-unchanged-2021.19pDOGCQr6fEivcPLGv4MZ.htmlI'm happy that we will see Kimi in F1 for another year, but I don't know for what Giovinazzi got new contract... So, there is few unknown drivers for 2021 left - one seat in Red Bull, Alpha Tauri and two spots in Haas. Doing the 2-day week-end thing, why not, but doing it at a track the drivers aren't used to isn't ideal. Of course it might give us some more excitement, we shall see. Raikkonen has actually raced F1 there, more than a decade ago !
Yeah, it's a bit more difficult for drivers and teams, but I don't think it's big deal. In Nurburgring Friday sessions were cancelled, so they had just one practice too. I haven't checked, but I think some more drivers, not just Kimi had tried this track, but offcourse it was in other racing series.

I still believe this is a very interesting topic. There are still some nice interviews coming up. I was interviewed and I enjoyed it. I even made a local versionof it. One veteran user even woke up after a long time to answer the interview. That was pretty cool. I think zasad@ wanted to be more inclusive, inviting as many people as possible. Not what everyone was expecting. The questions of the interview are not as customized as they were in the beginning. But the idea of those interviews is very interesting and there are high quality interviews here. It's possible to fix those issues as well. I agree. I think he made mistake by mentioning merit in PM's that he sent to users. In such way he attracted some spammers and abusers who wanted easy merit. Personally, I would have responded without merit thing because this topic is interesting for me. Probably I spent more than hour to answer all questions. I read many interviews here with big interest, especially these which are made by forum veterans, like @qwk
