What the hell, count me in as well. Time to do good in pool I have no clue about. Making that conclusion based on the fact I am doing bad in pools I know something about  Grin
You got me with all the familiar faces joining here.
~snip

welcome to this one
yeah, it is always good to perform better in pool where do you know less than in pools where you know as much as possible, happens all the time

as seeing new faces, seems that this pool will have more participants than last season, and will be harder to be in top positions

Good luck to all participants, sending my fee this evening

We are already at 18 right now so passing that first objective of over 20 looks like easy as we have time to invite users until 17 March when the payment deadline is,this way I know they may lose the first race and this can be a turn off for them but hopefully we manage to surpass that 20 mark before official qualifying starts on Saturday.I see many familiar faces but many of them are first time participants in this pool so this year is going to be better than last one but the difficult part is that most probably I won't make it to the prize spots that easily this year  Grin.

To be honest, it's very difficult to recommend any particular slot provider.
On what principle do you guys select the slots game? After all, much depends on the game session, when you win, then any slot will be your favorite  Grin Don't they? Especially when you manage to catch the maximum winnings. Cheesy
yes, it is true.
if a gambler who often wins or has won a lot from one of the slot game providers, surely they will mention and recommend that provider or that game.
even though sometimes luck can just move from one provider to another provider. I mean usually we are lucky to have an advantage in Play N Go and maybe tomorrow we are unlucky in Play N Go but lucky to move on in Pragmatic or Hacksaw etc.
so that the most recommended slot games are games or providers who have given you a win and you can enjoy every game session.
yes , it is the experience that will keep us playing and depositing even if we are losing mostly yet? if the site and their provider make us contented then we will stay loyal and may play only outside sometimes.
play n go is also a good provider but of course there are far better that i love than this one.

The reason I love going back to playing slots at least once a week is simple,we are all trying to get that maximum payout,last week I won x1700 my bet on the bonus round of Diamonds of the Realm from Play n Go provider and I even posted a picture of it in the "Slots 101" thread that we have here that we talk different things regarding slot machines in that thread.This is the number one reason we come back at playing slots even if most of our weeks are lost ones,one single with such wins and even bigger makes us forget completely what happened before.

Benfica is comfortably leading and I doubt this will change because both Porto and Benfica are in the Champions League with Benfica at much higher chances of moving forward while I doubt Porto will be able to eliminate Inter despite the return leg being played in Portugal.As such 8 points difference are big for a league like this one and I think Benfica will win this year Liga Portugal because simply put they have the best team and individually also they have the best players in my opinion.

For Sporting it will be difficult but not impossible to reach the third place.

Looks like luck is on Arsenal side as I think they could have not asked for an easier opponent than Sporting and that most likely Arsenal will have an easy qualification for this stage.The favorites remain three teams now that Barcelona is surprisingly out of the Europa League and they are,Arsenal,Juventus and Manchester United.From these three teams both of them have I would call easy encounters as Juventus is playing Freiburg and Manchester United is playing Betis which is weaker than Barcelona that they eliminated,so the 1/8 stage looks interesting so far.

I thought I was smart yesterday night as I bet on Racing vs Lanus on Lanus win or draw,they have been on good form 4 wins out of 4 and yesterday that I did bet on them thinking to be smarter than the bookies I was surprised to see they lost despite them having the odd of 4.75 to win and double chance 1.95 and lost my bet.I have been starting to fall in love with this league despite this has changed a lot from the time I watched it where Boca Juniors and River Plate dominated the league completely,now these teams are not as strong as that time.
4466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 27, 2023, 09:41:09 PM
the Lazio vs Sampdoria match has entered the 33nd minute and there have been no goals in this first half. but Lazio seems to be winning this fight. because Lazio kept trying to open up opportunities and continued to dominate the game. I don't expect a draw from this game. because Lazio should have won this fight. because even half of this season Sampdoria has not won for a long time. they have been on a losing streak since the second half of the season. so it will be very surprising if Lazio can be held to a draw by Sampdoria in this match.

I agree with you, in this match Lazio who needs points to take the 4th place to replace Roma with +3 Points Lazio will collect 45 points or 1 point above Rome
While Sampdoria did not target anything they are 9 points behind the relegation zone so whatever the results of the match did not have any impact on them
I predict Sampdoria is one of the teams that will come out of Serie A this season they are unable to compete with other teams, nothing can be relied upon with 2 wins from 23 matches.

The game is still 0-0 while the first half is over and that is not good for Lazio because they are playing against a weak team in 19th place on the table and if they want to take Roma's palace at 4th of the table they need to beat Sampdoria tonight, however, they are controlling the game but still the ould score a goal agist this team today while Sampdoria should try to take even one point against Lazio today if they want to get themselves out of the danger zone.

Lazio won with a single goal but that is enough for them to get the three points and get back in the fight for a place in the Champions League and that was the objective of tonight.I thought Lazio would win comfortably but they played in a very pragmatic way and they just got the three points against the penultimate team in the standings which for me is already relegated this year after scoring the lowest number of points ever in a Serie A appearance for them which is strange enough but these are the facts.

It is going to be interesting for the teams fighting for a spot in the 2nd to 4th place as there are 6 teams now fighting to get in such places and while Napoli has already won the Serie A the fight for a place in Champions is vivid than ever.

The fact that their network is down for quite some times in their history I read it as a risk if I was willing to invest in this coin.There is Litecoin for example which is never down from 9 years and this for me is reason enough why I do not think twice if I keep some of my portfolio in this coin.I intentionally took Litecoin as an example to contrast between a super stable alt coin and a really bad one when it come to stability of the network like Solana is,we have seen many outages already so this is not new news.
4468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 27, 2023, 01:57:47 PM
Chelsea are losing again, in fact, the results are just terrible, and Tottenham are not in the best condition either. Will Bowley let Potter continue this terrible streak? The strangest thing is that Chelsea stopped scoring goals...
This February, Chelsea were only able to make 1 goal and it ended in a draw. So there's no reason to keep a coach who can't make a difference. It would be nonsense if Chelsea insisted on keeping a Graham Potter. From any point of view it was declared a failure. And if it is true that Potter has not been fired, then the risk of destruction not only from the club but also from the internal aspect as well as the trust of his supporters will decrease.

The defeat to Tottenham was clear and I saw the spectators also leave the stadium even though the match was not over. It all signifies public disappointment at Chelsea's poor performance so far this season.

Tottenham is in much better form than Chelsea and Chelsea supporters are emotional about their team and it is normal for them to leave the stadium but judging from an objective point of view they cannot really expect that Chelsea to make a change in direction against a team like Tottenham,they should normally start by winning games and by not losing against Southampton at home which was the gravest result that they have so far during this season and it is exactly this as an indicator that should have raised the red flag for anyone at Chelsea,management,coach and fans.

When I see this tweet from someone I cant imagine if the owner is where now. He didnt touch his asset for a very long time or is it that he is just still waiting for a great run? I do hope he isnt dead cause the money he left is really a huge one. Or if he loss his key is one of the surreal nightmare ever that will happened.  Lots of free airdrops and fork rewards to his wallet.

https://twitter.com/jconorgrogan/status/1629915700306354176?t=syRtuZ7caxWR3Es0sDwxDg&s=19

I think that he has not a lot to wait for as he has over 400 million of dollars and that is enough for him to be a millionaire as with that amount he can pretty much live his entire life without doing anything and just enjoy life.

I hope he is alive and that he has not lost his keys and everything is well with him,he surely is one of the earliest investors as his wallet has first transaction over 7 years ago which coincides when Ethereum first come to life in 2016.

I wonder if there is a way to check what kind of wallet is he using by using walletexplorer or chainanalysis so we can have a better idea what has happened?Since he got a transaction just 9 minutes ago from now I am assuming he is alive.

Chelsea for this season is I believe out of every competition next year and in the highly unlike case that they return to play well the maximum they can achieve is an Europa League or Conference League at best but seeing this recent form from them I highly doubt we will be seeing them in European competitions next year and even in Champions I think they will not go very far.

Arsenal has that game less than City which is going to play against Everton at home after tomorrow and is a great opportunity for them to extend the lead to Manchester City and consolidate their position for the title win.
4471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hypothetical Question on: February 27, 2023, 11:49:50 AM
If you were told the outcome of a soccer match, hours before the match was scheduled, and you were assured that it would 100% win, how much would you be willing to bet on it? Assuming it was a 100% can’t lose situation.

Assuming you had millions of dollars that you could put on the match, where would you place the bets? Bookies often limit players. How could one successfully place millions of dollars in bets without drawing up suspicions or having their money frozen? Just curious.

If I had million of dollars I would not need to gamble it away no matter that I was assured of 100% that it won't be a lost bet.First of all I would be happy with the limits put in place by the bookies and I would bet on all of them the maximum limit each one of them offers,I would not care that I did not won much more money,what is important is that in such situation I will win additional money.

Now a person having millions of dollars usually invest them in different businesses which over time bring him guaranteed profit,for example becoming a majority shareholder in one of the big casinos would be a very smart investment.

You simply can't bet millions of dollars even if you share the amount of money between parents,family and friends.

Keep me in the loop, I'll probably join as well. Haven't really been tracking F1 but I'm dead in all pools besides CL so I need a new one soon Grin

First race is this Friday, correct? What are we guessing? I've never done Superbru F1 predictions before.

First race this Sunday,first practice this Friday,official qualifying on Saturday.

We are guessing the Pole Sitter -who will win the official qualifying 1 point
We are guessing the Podium-winner,runner up,second runner up,2 points each if found in the correct order,1 point if found but not in correct order
We are guessing 4-10 place-1.5 point each if found correctly,1 point if found but not in the correct order

Make sure to put your predictions before official qualifying on Saturday so you get 2 EBP-Early Brew Points,you lose them if you don't put your prediction before that time or if you after the qualifying change your picks.

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.
4476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 27, 2023, 08:31:52 AM
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.
4477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 27, 2023, 08:07:55 AM
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.
