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.

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.

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.
4488  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.
4489  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.
4490  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.
4493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 25, 2023, 09:24:56 PM
Arsenal has it all in their hands now,they are winning with just one goal difference but who cares as long as they got the three points and this was an away game for them,so next time they will be playing at home and most probably win.Manchester City can go and win like this with a big difference today but I still have not forgot that really bad result of last week against Nottingham and that was their shooting in their own leg,they had beaten Arsenal before but they void it with the lost in Nottingham,now they are still 5 points behind and this will not be easy to recover.
4494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 25, 2023, 08:45:19 PM
So I think now we can clearly say that Real Madrid has officially lost the La Liga this year,it will be impossible for them to pass Barcelona in the rankings,especially now that Barcelona is out of all the European competitions and their full focus will be on La Liga.If Barcelona wins tomorrow they go to 10 points of difference and is totally game over,in fact I highly believe it will be so.

Real had even 25 minutes of the game to play with 1 man more than Atletico and yet they got in disadvantage first and luckily they got a draw in the Madrid derby,they better focus on Champions League now.

This round I think with the games of today most people made money,except Everton I think every other game came in as predicted and even Everton I would not call it a surprise as they are not in the best of their form and there has been a lot of inconsistency from them.

Arsenal did their job and got the win,I was surprised they are starting to win with just one goal difference but since we are approaching the last 1/3 of the season I guess every 3 points count no matter how they make them,City is also doing their job,West Ham won and I think Liverpool will not disappoint either and will hopefully make a win to make this round much better than the last one.

Posting as a way to put this on my watch list. Never participated in F1 pool since I never even watched a race for more than 5 minutes. Not a fan of motorsports, but big fan of our pools so maybe I decide to donate my 2mBTC. I know last place is reserved for me here if I join.

@CLS if you are copying jeremy's post about sponsorship include the sentence that explains we get 75 for 20+ members. Quite confusing otherwise. I thought it was 50 last year and 75 this year for instance and if the thread had 5 pages I would have never even seen jeremy's post

It is not difficult,while it is completely different from soccer betting let me give you a few insights as so you don't come up last.First of all you need to put your predictions before the official qualifying starts,usually on Saturday afternoon,this way you will get the Early Brew Points which are 2.

To get to know a bit better about the teams performances,you should if possible watch the Friday practice as it says a lot and then based on those results put your predictions on.

With this I basically gave away my strategy of last year which brought me 3rd in the rankings and I even missed 4 points from the Early Brew Points so I could have been 2nd over all  Grin.

Timers of the day.

We are still slow, pole-position is expected to be 1.29/1.30 this year so they can push 2/3 seconds more.

Tomorrow will be the final day of tests.

I didn't expect that Zhou Guanyu would rank first in this second test, surpassing Max Verstappen. It seems that his speed and consistency are very interesting to talk about. And it seems that Zhou Guanyu is quite familiar at this Bahrain circuit and that also makes Zhou Guanyu not to be underestimated this season because he managed to start the season off with surprising performance.

I highly doubt Alfa Romeo to have improved that much,it is just that the other drivers are not showing their full power in the testing,well the title contenders because drivers like Zhou want attention and they are giving 100% of their capacity even in testing.Also most of the teams are not showing their true forms here,they are just testing and collecting data.

All of our doubts will be removed after the first session of the official qualifying which we will see on 4 March which is exactly next weekend we will have the first race in Qatar.

All these lessons are in most of the time related to technical analysis which most of the time is in short term.By following patterns or watching courses on trading I still don't know anyone or a majority of people who made a decent substantial win from these lessons which can be applied to any tradeable market stock or asset and this to me means that trading is the same as gambling,as even in gambling there is not a majority that have made a substantial profit,sure there are very few people who have hit the jackpot (which unfortunately have lost it all after some years) but the majority are not winners,same as if we follow patterns.

I only believe in the long term prospect of holding crypto to win more after some years as that is what history has shown us so far,lastly I also agree this is more in the Trading Discussion section.
4499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Killer of old video cards from Bitmain on: February 25, 2023, 11:16:55 AM
Unfortunately where I am there are only high end cards in the used marked also,there is only Rx 6700,6800,6900 and very few Rx 5700 Xt-s here,we usually only have Sapphire or Powercolor brands so Sapphire which I agree is the best brands for AMD cards is widely used here.The prices though are much higher than that,some people here at 150 dollars are selling Rx 580 8 GB cards so here prices do not drop as much as in other parts of the world,people are attached to their things and want the highest possible monetary value for them even when the time of such device has passed.

A good thing though,Nvidia guys usually sell their cards a bit cheaper and that is why I have mostly Nvidias now in my rig,I have shut down the AMD devices.
Not all models are good from Powercolor, you can buy any model from Sapphire, they are all good.
I asked you where are you? If you have such prices, then it is more profitable for you to bring video cards from other countries and sell them. This will give you a good profit.

Right now I am in Albania from some years,relocated here for work and it looks like will be staying some others too as my child is growing up here.Yes whenever possible I have bought cards through Ebay but there is a lot of corruption in the postal office here and one time I have ordered a good one,and received one that the fans were not working,probably some guy at the customs or post office did it as the seller in Ebay is someone I have always bought and his feedback speaks for him.This happens rarely but it is enough to stop me from buying abroad.

For Powercolor I am very happy with the performance of the Rx 6800 XT as I have three of them and they all run super cool even in the middle of the summer.

I have no doubt that City will qualify, they are on a great run, I also see that Haaland will be with a great attitude, Pep Guardiola will not miss this opportunity, they cannot lose, City last season were not very lucky, this time they have all to vindicate themselves and the truth is I don't think they disappoint their fans.

Now what you say about Kevin de Bruyne I fully agree, it is difficult because the midfield is always important, especially to set up the attack, Haaland is the main objective, he is the one who has to score the goals, the android has to do it and shine.


You see the clubs and side with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I cannot and will never advice anyone to despise that club not even when they're not in a good form because with Godspeed that's when they do play beautiful football.
I still have a place in my mind that feels like Paris St Germans are moving next to the next round. Bayern Munich need to hurt Parisans if they're to win that game. They didn't do enough during the first meeting. With Kylian Mbappe around they should be ready to run at all times.

Manchester City should head to the next level, Pep Guardiola stay so much years at the German League ans Bossed all of them club. Leipzig would be properly handled. Erling Haaland gives them a better chance while attacking but he lacks proper passes from the past few games.
Pep Guardiola is an incredibly wise coach. When he was in Barcelona he made the Barcelona team impossibly strong. After that, he trained the players of the team in Manchester City and took the team to a unique peak.

I think he should get directly fired if he does not manage to eliminate a mediocre team like Leipzig,mediocre when compared to Man.City because Leipzig is a good team and they even caused a big surprise in the group stages when they won against Real Madrid.I saw the last game which ended 1-1 in Leipzig home and it was an extremely boring game and I was surprised at the fact that City completely slowed down their temp during the second half leaving everything to be decided in the return leg,that is why I think Guardiola should be sacked if he does not qualify further.
