It looks like PSG knows that they have no chances in the Champions League against Bayern although I believe that they may as well qualify but they got and won against their direct competitor for the title fight and now they have also Marseille out of the equation so they are with peace of mind in Ligue 1 as 8 points difference is big enough to assure that a team like Paris cannot really screw it up that big in Ligue 1 where they dominate as to lose 3 consecutive games and even if they do lose 3 consecutive games which is highly unlikely,the same for Marseille to win 3 consecutive games during such time will be difficult.

I’m in & I’m ready to take your money, boys.




It is great that some people of the other pools are joining this year in F1,last year we were so few people,just 12 in total and looking how things are going so far I am assuming we can reach well over 20 people until 17 March which is deadline for payment and as such the sponsored prize can easily be 75 mBtc which is a great amount to add over the entry fees each participant pays.

We are starting this very weekend with the first race and I am expecting a good fight and a lot of surprise results in this first race as that is what tests indicated but I am waiting until Friday practice to put my picks.

-snip-
Hahaha, agree.

I only trust from my experience. The pattern is not about "Bonus" but about hitting 'Free-spin', I always told Pragmatic & Play N Go have some similar pattern hitting bonus.
- 100-120 SPIN Average Hitting Bonus.
- Under 50 SPIN & Hit Bonus Multiple Time considered as Hot Fired Section (Keep going, until you cannot hitting anymore).
- More than 250-300 Spin without Bonus (You're on lose/bad section). Change the game, If want to play under the same Provider but once 4-5 game give you the same result try to change the provider.

Off-course people are freely to believe or not. But the third attempt is to avoid your money drain-out because in slot there always has some psycoloy next spinw we will hit the bonus ~XD.

I think that is completely not true and I think you are having a really good experience if you are hitting for average 100-120 spins the bonus game in Pragmatic Play.In here I have usually played much more spins before getting the bonus game while I agree that in Play n Go provider you can get the bonus in that zone and even earlier sometimes.

I think I learned something new now,which is more than 250-300 spins without the bonus game I should quit the game as I am on a losing run,I think I will start to apply this but I also think that in game with huge extreme volatility not getting the bonus round for over 300 spins can be normal.

The match between Bayern Munich and Union Berlin was an absolute joke. As early as the first minute, Bayern Munich was in complete control of the game, holding a 71% ball possession advantage and have 20 shots with 9 on targets. Seeing Union Berlin flounder in the face of Bayern's speed and strategy was almost mortifying. Union Berlin needs to step it up and improve their play if they want to challenge established powerhouses like Bayern Munich. The match was entertaining despite being a lopsided loss for the home team, and I look forward to more comedic matchups in the future. 3-0 is a pleasant result for Bayern
the 3-0 win over union berlin really means a lot to them, even though at this time dortmund has the same points but bayern is ahead in goals and that's quite big. It was really crazy to see how fast Bayern played in the first half, so it's no wonder that the three Bayern goals came in the first half. while union berlin only produced 0 'shots on target', it seems that nagelsmann has strengthened bayern's defense.

I think it is more because Union Berlin is an outsider to the title fight,they have been playing most of their time in 2nd Bundesliga and only recently they are playing in the Bundesliga and seeing them in such high position has always surprised me,even more when I have seen that in most of their games their scored goals is under 2.Against such team Bayern had no trouble at all and this is how it should be for a team like Bayern which ended the game already in the first half and then only managed the situation.

Against Dortmund though it will be a real battle as they have 9 consecutive victories so it is these two teams that will decide the Bundesliga title this year.

Bologna 1 - 0 Inter! Surprise!
With such defeats, Napoli mission become easier. They only have to win 8 matches from the 14th left!
Milan is playing right now vs Atalanta. Milan could join Inter in number of points and Atalanta could get back temporarily to the Champions League spots. Milan is favourite here.
Intermilan was performing so bad against bologna. I would not be surprised to see inter loses full points from bologna. Inter deserves it unlike ac milan which was able winning against atalanta. We do know that if atalanta is far stronger compared with bologna. Inter must be lucky enough even its coach has confirmed that if inter was also under perform. I think that inter needs to find solution for that as soon as possible.

I couldn't even imagine Bologna beating Inter 1-0 but Inter lost 1-0. This was a big disappointment for them. With this defeat, the difference in points between Napoli and Inter increased to 18. If Roma plays the missing match and wins, he will increase his score to 47 and it will be a very interesting situation. The race for second place will be more competitive than the race for the top.
As for for the first position no team can drag it with Napoli,  the competition is in the second position which will be so interesting to see the team that can be in the second position. I don't think inter will be able to achieve the second position based on theirs performance in previous games.

The fight is not actually for the second position which brings nothing better as if you come third or fourth for example as both places put you in Champions League with the 4th place if I am not mistaken putting you in last preliminary qualification stage and as such the fight for one of these spots is intense.

It is obvious that Napoli is the winner of Serie A while the fight for the 4th places becomes increasingly more competitive and if Lazio wins tonight which most likely they should then we would see a fierce battle between 6 teams for these 3 remaining places that gives you a spot in the Champions League.

What? There's a forum thread about the Saudi football league and it's active only because Cristiano Ronaldo plays in Saudi Arabia?
Signing with Ronaldo seems like a great marketing move by the owners of Al-Nassr(but a very expensive one). Now more people around the world are going to pay attention to the Saudi Arabian football teams. It's obvious that Ronaldo is too good to play in this league, but at the same time he's not good enough to play in a big European team. I'm glad that he still has the opportunity to entertain the football fans around the globe with his goals and skills. Perhaps more big names of the European football might come and play in Saudi Arabia in the not too distant future.

I think the number of European clubs that wanted him was big but most of such clubs could not afford his desired payment and Al Nassr managed to make a huge deal offering him 500 million Euros in just two years.In this last weekend he scored 3 goals in the same game with Al Nassr and quite beautiful ones except that with penalty.I know Cristiano is a much better player for the Saudi Professional league but I was seeing the highlights of that game and apparently he was very happy there and all the crowd was amazed by his performance.He has made the right move going there,financially speaking as most likely these will be his last 2 years playing football.

IF electricity is inexpensive. I know there are very few places where electricity is not expensive. Now what if OP is not from such an area, what advice do you give him?

I was only giving him an alternative and it's surely not bad.
I have already said that if your electricity is more expensive than 6-8 cents, then it is better not to engage in mining. But large mining companies have tariffs of 3-5 cents.
I prefer mining on video cards, because new coins appear and there is a chance to pay back a video card in 6-8 months.

I think asking to get a payback on a certain card for 6-8 months is not possible during such time that we are in.We are still in a crypto winter and this is the best time to collect coins,you either mine them,which is what I do or you invest in them by buying them.Electricity I think is a key factor for people running more than 3-4 rigs while for people running only one rig even if the electricity is a bit high it is still affordable in the sense that people can even pay a bit of loss by waiting for the next crypto craze which can bring insane profits if done right.

A possible comeback in Formula 1.
Vettel can race at the start of the season with Aston Martin.

Stroll has his hand broken and it is not sure he will race, it is improbable.

In his place, it will race their 3rd driver or Vettel.

It will be their 3rd driver who will race for Bahrain: https://www.planetf1.com/news/aston-martin-felipe-drugovich-potential-replacement/

Quite unfortunate for the hand injury to happen right before Bahrain starts. Must have been really frustrating for Stroll even though he's not racing for the win and mainly just for the points. I'm actually more invested in Vettel possibly handling the wheel for Aston Martin, but somehow okay with their decision to let the responsibility be given to the 3rd driver. At least, we'll get to see how well Drugovich performs on track and not just testing but we'll see. It's as if they're trying to get Lance up to speed before the race starts.

Glad to know that the father is not somewhat "firing" his son but he has hand injury as I found it hard to believe.Now I see the reason is good enough but I think Vettel should accept the offer to just race once more in Bahrain as that would be a good opportunity for him to race with this new improved car as his last race ended somewhat well with a lot of overtakes if I remember correctly so it would be nice to see for at least one race team mates Alonso and Vettel.The testing showed that this new Aston Martin was good enough and it can be fighting for top spots,a simple Safety Car who knows how can impact the race for such car,I am looking forward to the first race next week.

They call Bologna "the black cat of Inter" and not without reason,last year they were winning the Serie A and they lost that game they had more than Milan exactly against Bologna and they even were leading while the goalkeeper made really funny error which cost Inter the Serie A.I knew most likely Inter would have not won today but I was scared to bet against them as one of the person who is not exactly their fan but that has empathy for them.

For tomorrow the Lazio game is a great one and is playing against Sampdoria,the odd of near 1.50 I think is good enough for Lazio which I think will have no problems winning this game such in critical needs of points in their fight to go to the Champions League next year.
4430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: February 26, 2023, 10:53:28 PM
It's very unfortunate that Stroll broke his hand as we approach the start of the season. The Bahrain GP starts next week. I'm looking forward to it anyway. It's nice to see Vettel driving again, if that all continues. Stroll will be unable to race for a while with his injury. That will have little effect on the standings because it is not a driver who seriously participates in the World Cup. But for him it is of course very frustrating, he didn't have a bad season at all last year. I tip Max as the winner of the GP of Bahrain.

It is not sure that Vettel will race it is only a rumor for now.

Vettel will be exited if he will have the opportunity, Aston Martin is a very strong team after tests and they can aim for Podium.

While I agree that usually Alonso do not get a seat without being promised a good car,well except the case at McLaren which really screw up in their first return to Honda engine,so I am assuming the tests are real for Aston Martin and they did not want to hide anything.I have heard the rumors and some local newspapers here and also in the Internet I saw that Aston Martin had offered a seat to Vettel and that would be a perfect duo for the team,Vettel with Alonso but this would be a bit strange as Lance Stroll the son of the owner of that team would be without a seat,maybe he needs one year off as a test driver,who knows.
4431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: February 26, 2023, 10:34:48 PM
I think it's because more profits. I got 200 Solana from airdrop. After 6 months SOL price was near 200$ somehow. So basically I got 40000$ easily. but I sold it when it's around 80-85$. As my experience alts are good for make short term profits. But it's too risky.

If you hold it longer, you will make a massive profit. Mostly, this is the reason why they like altcoins. If you get lucky and invest in the right coin, you'll get a lot of profit in just a couple of months. It is more risky with a higher return. Also, most of the project won't last a few years as developers and owners will abandon it or it will just die. Altcoin also has a lot of scams, which are more risky, so you need to check the background of the owner and team behind it.

I agree that altcoins if chosen the good ones and kept for longer will make a person more money than Bitcoin because altcoins are easier to make or to get,either by mining like ZIL,ETHW,ETHF,RTM,DOGE and LTC to name the most well known one from mining but you can also buy them like Baby Doge,Shiba Inu which I think in the longer term will make a lot of people,or better the only people that hold them enough massively rich and I personally also own 30 million Shiba Inu which if they go to just 1 cent I will be having 300.000 dollars and this for me is enough reason to be interested in altcoins and try to add more and more to my portfolio so when the next bull run comes I will see some really great profit.

I think that the point of educating yourself includes all other points.From all the books I have read on Cybersecurity from many vendors that offers a lot of training I have been able to spot one thing which is,user education and training is the most important part in any job a user perform and I am making for a second time the analogy here to emphasize how important it is education when it comes to digital assets like our cryptocurrencies are.I agree on everything and I would add to the list a point which is to use secure operating systems like Linux,while this alone won't help people who do not know what they are doing,it will drastically improve the security posture to people who know what they are doing.

Such token/coins have never a good future if over 90% is hold by their developers,haven't we seen a lot of such tokens fail,so I think we should focus only on the coins that have full support behind them,have a good team behind them and are active in maintaining the projects.We have a lot of well known token/coin that has a good community behind them and there are plenty to choose from so better to stay away from such projects.Personally I only invest in such well maintained coins as there is no real reason to try and be part of a project like the one described here.

This time I was not at all intimidated by bookies who gave Bayern Munchen at home 1.50 odd against a team which barely win games with the exception of few ones where they have scored more than 1 goal and it is the only bet I won today so far together with Milan playing now in Serie A.I was pretty sure that Bayern would win but unfortunately my balance was low as I was losing everything in slot machines that is why I did not bet a lot of money on them but I am glad I bet the amount I had as they totally crushed Union Berlin which I have said several times it is a complete outsider to the title race.

Next week it is going to be a crucial game for Dortmund vs Leipzing,they are coming from 9 consecutive victories and I hope they will be extending this number putting up a real title fight with Bayern,not like Union Berlin and Leipzig who simply lack the consistency of Dortmund.

It's the weekend 🥳

What would you do with an extra $50 in your Stake wallet?

Obviously gonna play my favorite Play'n Go slots game and try to increase it if possible.



I tried that yesterday night and lost in Diamonds of the Realm,it is a great game from Play n Go,one of the very very few that truly has a super high volatility from this provider as all other games they have made are not with this super high volatility as of this game,one thing I like about it is getting the bonus round in every single session I play there with a minimum of 20 dollars playing with minimum bet.

With 50 on my wallet I also lost today about 0.24 Litecoin which is the half of that amount in sport betting and if Milan does not score another goal or Atalanta I will losing all my bets for today.I am looking forward to my next week play as I am at near 97% to get to the first VIP level,so just a mere 3.xx% until I reach it,most likely this upcoming week.
4436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 26, 2023, 07:19:17 PM
Wow, Almeria leads with a score of 1-0 from the 24th minute, previously Almeria was in the relegation zone but if Almeria can maintain this advantage then of course Almeria can get out of the relegation zone for a while. But what is really surprising is that the opponent Almeria is facing is Barcelona, which basically Barcelona this season in La Liga has had a very extraordinary performance.

In fact, Barcelona at this moment will only focus on La Liga because Barcelona has been eliminated from the Europa League. But with no more pressure as before, Barcelona actually got a bad result in this away match against Almeria. It's true that the match isn't over yet, but I don't think Barcelona need a long time just to reply to goals or score goals against Almeria.
Almeria is currently too strong in defense, Barcelona players find it difficult to get many opportunities in this match. Previously Barcelona failed to qualify for the 16 finals in the Europa league, I'm afraid that has made the confidence of the Barcelona players decrease, so that they are inconsistent again in getting three points. But I hope you're right Barcelona no need a long time to scored, because this match is about to end.

That is the weirdest thing ever,they conceded 9 goals in their last 2 games and they are the second worse defense of La Liga after Elche which is the team that conceded the most goals.Barcelona not playing like they usually do and trying to play with long cross in the Almeria defense which is not working,it is very strange seeing a Barcelona not scoring goals when they only have done so in the beginning of the La Liga against Rayo Vallecano,then they scored in 21 consecutive games and now they are not scoring against one of the worse defenses of La Liga,something is clearly wrong here.
4437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 26, 2023, 06:53:04 PM
The first half was quite interesting indeed. Almeria somehow finished it up by 1-0 ahead despite Barcelona's dominance. I mean Barcelona are playing their usual game with a high percentage of ball possession. But their main problems is with not being able to find the target. There are 4 shots and none of them is on target currently. While they have Lewandowski on the field this shouldn't happen actually. But I believe Xavi will warn the players about this and they will be back stronger in the second half.

I expect a goal contribution by Lewandowski surely. He is their biggest card like he is in every single match. They have a big chance ahead to increase the point gap with Real Madrid to 10. They should take it.
Despite Barcelona being in such good form, they are one goal behind in the match so far. It will be really bad for the team if they lose this match today. Barcelona's opposition will now play the highest defensive, while Barca will have to do something great in attack.

It is really strange that Barcelona is playing this bad against a team who just last week conceded 6 goals against Girona,this time though Almeria is only defending well and the players of Barcelona looks like are frustrated as so far they have not created any real opportunity for goal as I am watching the game live.I placed a bet on them right now to win the game at odd 3 but it is just for fun because judging by their way of playing is going to be a lost game for them and at the best maybe is going to be a draw during this game,victory for Barcelona right now looks so far away.
4438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 26, 2023, 06:36:09 PM
There are some teams that have an easy match because they have a weaker opponent, and also they already have an aggregate goal. Benfica being one of those teams, they faced Club Brugge and they already have 2 goals saved. With Benfica's superiority they are a team that will occupy a place in the quarter-finals in my opinion, because I personally don't believe there will be any surprises in the second leg later.
The Benfica match could have been a draw had the team not got two plenty. Benfica were able to get two penalties due to the mistakes of the opposition team and with that opportunity they were able to secure the victory of the match.

Benfica is clearly the favorite in this game and it will most likely be no surprise in this encounter,Benfica will be getting in the next stage but then once there,there are not anymore "small" teams like Club Brugge which in this year they are not on a good form even in their local league which usually they dominate.They are playing at home,Benfica is going to crush Club Brugge and then hope to get the "easiest" team of them which remain but really there is no easy team after Brugge and it is then when it starts to get beautiful in the Champions League.Unfortunately Benfica has not been able to go past that zone in Champions League in their recent years here.

I was I don't know for what time deceived by the bookies again  Grin as I was immediately attracted by Monaco odd of 2.20 at home and got and bet on them only to see a really horrible performance by them and they are now officially out of the title fight,not that they were seriously a contender for the title but because they had a lot of good results recently and Nice really does not play for anything.In fact it was a big error of mine as I did not paid attention to latest games of Nice,they had 0 lost games in their last 5 and they had also beaten Marseille 1-3 so if I had seen these stats I would have probably refrained from betting,nevertheless I learn everything something new when it comes to sport betting as to what to consider before placing a bet.

I know Chelsea its digging more and more into the hole, but this game was a hard one in this enviroment, i surely know they are gonna lose this one, i only see a wake up after this game and against a low tier team.

And yes Potter.....

I thought Chelsea is focusing more on Champions League but then I saw they have their encounter on 7 March which is not this upcoming week so this lost game showed that Chelsea is in real trouble.Some friends of mine were saying that they bought a lot of good players like Enzo Fernandez and Guy Havertz but they seem to be going in vain at Chelsea,they are not being harmonized together and this shows that the new coach is not finding his way of play in this team,I think most probably it is time for him to be sacked as he is showing nothing from quite some game.
