Shame about the draw last night, probably should have seen that coming but I felt it was close enough to warrant my pick of a Wolves win.

Out all day so only following on text, maybe in time for the last game. Not like I got much stomach.

Sad despair grief lament like LFC_Bitcoin.

I didn't expect at all Wolves to score let alone to win the game and got for a Fulham clean sheet as bet and also as a win for Fulham in the pool,nothing came right unfortunately but seeing that nothing has changed in the standings means that very few people have opted for a draw.

We are coming near the end of the Premier League season (yes I know we have 3 months) and these rounds are of critical importance to the people fighting for a spot in one of the 22 places that nets you a prize.

I am making a two payments of 0.001 for this and I think it will be OK,as I have done so in all the soccer pool where the prize was 2 mBtc,let me know if this is OK and I will send first payment on 1-2 March and second on 10 March.

First of all, I'm really happy that you have decided to participate in the pool. The last day for the payment is going to be March 17 which is before the 2nd race. If you would like you can send the payment at one time on that date.

I'm sorry about the entry fee. As it is the only pool about motorsports I think it wouldn't affect the participation at all.

That is great to know then,most likely I will send full payment of 0.002 on 10 March or a bit earlier and even if i still am not able but will send two payments I will make sure to send 0.0011 each time so I make up for it by not paying it full at once.Thank you for organizing again as this is the pool I like the most because F1 is the sport I like the most and as I said I only miss morning races for European time which are Australia and Japan,all others I am ready to watch and looking forward to that penultimate race of Las Vegas,it should be the best of all calendar.

Seeing how many people who are problem gamblers today did not have the intention of becoming gamblers who lack self control but somehow they are now gamblers who cannot control themselves, It means that everyone is at the danger of become such if it is not put in check.

How do you keep your gambling habit in check such that becoming addicted and out of control is something that never happens?

 (share your strategy for others to benefit from)

I was once of such gamblers.I keep my urge of gambling under control by setting a weekly bankroll and no matter what happens,win or lost,I quit and do not play more than this bankroll,to make it a good habit so you cannot be addicted I only play one long session and do not divide it in different small sessions,what I mean is I spend it all in one day.This has two benefits,the first is that I play with minimum bet in slot machines meaning I play longer to enjoy the game more and secondly I don't need the urge to re gamble again after such session,it is working well for me for a couple of years now.
4504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launch of Ghost Electrum on: February 24, 2023, 03:01:22 PM
So if you ask me, it's still better to use the original electrum than the ghost electrum promoted by OP, I'm just telling the truth, because it's hard nowadays to just trust new cryptocurrency app wallets.

The problem is that you cannot use the original Electrum to manage Ghost Coin. It is only for Bitcoin. Ghost Electrum is open source, as it should be.

Then why creating an Electrum to support Ghost when the developers of such apps can simply name it Ghost Coin wallet and that should be much better and not create confusion for people.I think though that the majority of the people who are dealing with crypto since a long time they have already settled what wallets they use,they use Electrum/Hardware wallet for their Bitcoin operations and there are a lot of multi currency wallets that most likely the majority of us use for such other cryptos like,Exodus,Atomic and Zelcore wallets to name a few.

For coins like this there is Metamask as the best wallet.
4505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game that you suffer consistent losses but still keep playing? on: February 24, 2023, 02:02:16 PM
It all started when I saw a tweet of casino about user winning jackpot prize on a slot game. I become interested to try my luck hoping that I can manage to win that same multiplier or close to it. At first I’m winning decent profit like 6$ for a 0.1$ bet in just a couple of spin then later on the slot game stop giving profit even after many spin. This scenario keeps happening to multiple times but still I can’t stop playing this slot game whenever I’m visiting the casino. I’m winning on other game but this specific game keeps draining my funds.

The game is called Big Bamboo by push gaming. I keep coming back because of its cool animation and early payout. This attracts me to play more because it gives me false hope that I can win bigger amount on next spin.

As an avid slot player but that has a lot of self control too I don't blame anyone playing slots,those are the games that make more money for the casino because they are highly addictive,the sound effects,the graphic arts and above all that highest payout you were seeking to get is all but something to keep you hooked.

I also play 5 slots with the same theme,Arthurian Legend themed games from Play n Go provider as they all allow me to get x100 multiplier to my actual bet if I manage to get to the final round of the bonus game,that is what keeps me coming back,that x100 multiplier despite me many times losing money and very few times winning big exactly because of that multiplier.

Count me in as well,as last season I enjoyed very much the pool and every race I saw with emotion of pool standings beside the original emotion because no matter what I always watch every race in Europe and US,while Australia and Japan,I am not an early person anymore on Sundays,for me is enough going to work during week days to get up early so these races for me who live in Europe are usually missed ones.

Is the payment the same as 0.001 or it has changed?I think it should be the same but if for some reason we need it bigger then I would suggest no more than 0.0015 as this is a pool which needs more participants and not less,so the prize entry level can be a deciding factor here.

Edit: I saw it is 0.002

I am making a two payments of 0.001 for this and I think it will be OK,as I have done so in all the soccer pool where the prize was 2 mBtc,let me know if this is OK and I will send first payment on 1-2 March and second on 10 March.
4507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 24, 2023, 12:59:23 PM
Maybe it's true that the problem with Paris Saint Germain now is the coach. It may be difficult for a coach who has to unite star players who have different characters and with different levels of selfishness, it really affects their cooperation on the field. But I remember Real Madrid when they won the Champions League 3 times in a row, at that time the squad owned by Real Madrid were very high quality players and some of them were even captains of their respective National Teams. However, with the genius of the coach they were able to work together very well, and there were no problems between the players as we see now at Paris Saint Germain.

That's just a possibility. Since Paris Saint Germain got many superstar players during the last months and years especially the forward players we can't say the problem of Paris Saint Germain is the players because right now they got Messi in his golden days and many other stars like Neymar and Mbappe while they still don't have strong defensive line also Christophe Galtier is not a top coach according to his past experience compared to other coaches in top teams. 
Galtier's experience is debatable, but in my opinion he would be a more than adequate manager for Psg.  With psg, Galtier plays well, but not defensively enough.  No one can stop Psg when he's defensive enough.  The destructive power of the French league is in them now.  With Mbappe, Messi and Neymar in their hands, there is no team they can't score.

It is like that but now that situation is undermined by both Marseille and Monaco who are enjoying top form in the Ligue 1 and have been able to come from middle of the standings to the top of them and threatening PSG unconcerned run to the title,now PSG should start to worry as only 5 points of difference can be lost in two direct games that PSG will face the teams standing in high positions,in fact Monaco just gave them a lost game 3-1 and I think Marseille will be able to achieve it too so things are not that easy anymore for Paris.
4508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have bitcoin, what do you guys recommend I buy as well on: February 24, 2023, 12:39:17 PM
First of all congrats on owning the best coin of all time but as they say diversification is needed in order to achieve a caliber of success enough to be a life changing event for anyone of us.I personally would recommend these 4 or 5 coins in general and as you said these do not count as financial advice,is just what I hold beside Bitcoin,

1.ETHW-EthereumPow-the wannabe substitute of the original Ethereum who forked away on September 2022
2.ETHF-EthereumFair-yet another wannabe substitute of the original Ethereum
3.ZIL-Zilliqa-I use this coin only for staking,meaning to get 15% applied yearly interest
4.RTM-Raptoreum-A coin which can be mined with CPU and that behind it are some of the best developers (personal opinion)

These coins are all mineable and I mine them.
4509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next crypto craze? on: February 24, 2023, 12:16:23 PM
I think what is important is if you are preparing yourself to meet the upcoming crypto craze no matter at which time it comes,this is not relevant,as I said what is relevant is that you have different coins beside Bitcoin of course that can make a difference in your life if you prepared yourself well,as that song says  "its funny how things change over night when you have been working right".

If you are prepared well do not stress about when the next crypto craze will come,a sure thing is that it will come no matter when so keep preparing for that life changing event in the best possible way you can.
4510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 24, 2023, 08:57:11 AM
Tonight Fulham vs Wolves,looks like there is going to be an easy win for Fulham based on their recent form.Wolves has been inconsistent,the same as Fulham has been in their last games but Fulham has played against much stronger opponents than Wolves has and beside that they are playing at home which I think is one of the best opportunities to win in front of their home fans to bring the missing joy they have from a couple of games.

I think that Fulham should win comfortably and that most likely Wolves will not score any goals tonight but even if they score I highly doubt them to cause any surprise in tonight game.
4511  Economy / Gambling / Re: Recommend your preffered slot games or game provider on: February 24, 2023, 08:19:55 AM
Play N' Go is the usual provider I look at whenever I want to play slots. Most of what I find are usually restricted by region, but the recent ones that I played a few months back, Reactoonz and Tome of Madness were at least accessible to me (I live in PH). I'd probably end up liking and playing more slot games really only if they didn't restrict access based on region, it just severely limits the number of types of slots I can actually play, some of which looked genuinely interesting to me.

Play n Go is also my favorite provider,the reason is simple,while they may not give you the huge wins No Limit City and Pragmatic Play gives you,which by the way are extremely rare in here,at Play n Go you will get the bonus feature of each slot more often than in other providers and they use to create a new slot a week,kinda like Pragmatic Play,I love the Play n Go mechanics of their Arthurian Legend slots which usually boils down to getting the x100 multiplier of your bet for some spins if you reach the final level of the feature game,there is nothing better than that for me  Grin.

I was afraid to bet on Sheriff as I thought their form was not as what we used to see last season in the Champions League where they played against Inter and Real Madrid but to me should have been enough that Partizan at home has been screwing it consistently and I regret not betting on Sheriff at 4.75 odd or at least Sheriff or draw at 2 odd,that was the money right there to catch it and I was once again scared from the bookies thinking.

What I have learned from experience is that we should never take into consideration the odds at such levels where teams of other countries play each other,we should follow our gut feeling and bet on that.
4513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 24, 2023, 07:10:27 AM
Barcelona tried their best and in fact in European competition it does not look like this year was their year.I thought that they had the capacity to beat Manchester United but the fact that Manchester United beat them surprised me a lot as the players of Manchester United if taken individually are not at the same level as those of Barcelona so I think this to be the hand of their coach which is doing really well so far with them.From now on I think the most favored teams to win the Europa League are Manchester United and Juventus.
4514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 23, 2023, 08:20:27 PM
Barcelona just scored with a penalty to make this game even more beautiful to watch.Personally I have bet on Barcelona win or draw as I was afraid a bit by the bookies as always but I think we have to start not taking at all into consideration the odds when two big names are playing against each other,we can assess their performance by ourselves.Lewandowski just converted the penalty into goal and now Manchester is forced to go all in,in order to equalize and have a chance to get back in the game,I know it is to early but the scoring so early from Barcelona says a lot about them and how much they value the Europa League.

Count me in as well!  Smiley Smiley
I've detected your prediction round last year around October / November and it seemed to be fun, so I'll looking forward to join.
Maybe we'll get a generous deal from Sportsbet.io once again because I can imagine we'll get quite a long list of interested participants.
Personally, I'm not very experienced on Superbru but it shouldn't be an issue most likely (if Superbru is used again) since it seemed to be a good choice for your last round. 

The upcoming season will be interesting as well, hopefully we'll have Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes compete for World Championship. If Ferrari doesn't drop off after summer break again...  Cheesy

Superbru is great both for soccer pools and F1 pool,at first I did not understand well the EBP but once I got it right then I started the round with at least 3 points majority of the time by finding 1 point the pole sitter and 2 points by putting my prediction early before official qualifying started,that is why it is called Early Brew Points-EBP,if you don't do your picks before official qualifying starts you don't get those points.

I think it is time for the payments deadline to be able to collect as many of them as possible and of course some extension like 2 races grace period for many people who are new to the pool so they can see if they like it or not before joining it in a definite way,this in my opinion will bring more participants.

5X Reward Points (RP) promotion is LIVE and ends in less than 48 hours.

Redeem your RP on the Rewards page for iPhones, Hardware Wallets, Gift Cards, Free BTC, and much more...



This is the best promotion and I always take part in it,I am gambling not much now about 0.0006 Bitcoin but that in wagered amount is at least 13-15 times higher so tons of RP to be made here during this window promo while also grabbing additional goodies like weekly lottery tickets and if you play long enough and for people who play with more than 0.0006 Bitcoin it can be the best time to jump in that multiply btc lo hi game.

So with just 0.0006 gambled you can make like at least 10.000 RP in rewards because as I said that amount translates to at least x13-15 in wagered amount and this is where rewards are based in wagered amount.
4517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin and no downtime till now in 11 years on: February 23, 2023, 01:01:12 PM
It has been 11 years and Litecoin is still running like a champ. In these 11 years, it never went down. One of the biggest advantages for small merchants who want to accept payment in crypto. Many merchants prefer Bitcoin & Ethereum payment but Litecoin is also something merchants should consider accepting as a payment.

What do you think guys?


I always ask the payout in Litecoin whenever possible,from the casinos I like to play,from the websites I like to work online and many of them are offering it,it just makes me feel better because when I gamble I don't place like 0.0005 Bitcoin for a bet but 0.10 Litecoin which is the equivalent and it gives me a sense of complacent feeling.I think that a lot of people are starting to use this coin more especially gamblers as I have seen in the casino where I play the most,in slot machines they have an area of big wins and lucky wins which are the biggest wins people have made so far in these slots,the majority of them are with Litecoin.

For merchants it will be just a matter of time until they accept it but the most important ones as far as I know are already accepting it.

The only way to find this is through specialized software kinda like "Wallet Recovery Services" we have here in the forum as I once forgot the password of my 2014 Blockchain wallet and remembered just some letters from it and Dave from the service found it for me,I thought I had like 5000 dollars there but in fact I confused it with another Electrum wallet I had in another computer which I had formatted and lost the coins.

Even in such legal service as offered here,they still need you to remember some words at least from the phrase in order to give a try and even with those words it is extremely difficult.Any other service listed here without proofs like the one I mentioned which I used and loved the results I do not believe.
4519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Killer of old video cards from Bitmain on: February 23, 2023, 11:53:41 AM
ETC gave a good profit to miners who sold the coin for more than $100. But then the hashrate was small and most miners mined this coin on 4 GB video cards, so the hashrate was small. Now the hashrate is above 100 terahash, and if asics come to mining, then this coin will be for asics.

Yes, I sold my ETC coins for $107 each, and I was mining ETC since it was $5 and holding most of the coins.
ETHW is also worth almost $5 now, but this does not guarantee that the price of Ethereum Classic will repeat. I don’t want to mine this coin on old video cards, and it’s unprofitable to buy new video cards for mining. And I don’t think that the owners of video cards 3060-3070 are mining this coin now.

I am mining ETHW as for me there is the real possibility for it to at least go back to its initial all time high of near 142 dollars for a coin which was back in September 2022 and I am an owner of Rtx 3060 ti cards so why not try.Ethereum Classic I was mining it but always exchanging to other coins and that was my mistake so I lost the opportunity to made money there when ETC hit the all time high of 179 dollars for a coin.I don't want to miss another opportunity and I have about 7 ETHW so far but there is no way I am going to sell or exchange them,I am keeping them until they grow in time or they completely fail.
For ETHW mining, one of the worst 5600xt graphics cards from Sapphire. From the wall when consuming 83 watts, you can get 38.5 megahash. If you increase the hashrate, then the consumption increases to 100 watts. But on the market, the price of two 5600xt video cards is equal to the price of 3060ti.

I have 119 watt in the wall from the 3060 ti at 61 Mhsh which I think is a great performance/consumption ratio and for 83 watts getting 38.5 Mhsh from that Rx 5600 Xt does not look that bad,well except the price which should not be equal to the 3060 ti,maybe the Rx 5700 xt/6700 xt may justify such price and still not completely but of course these cards are with better hash rate than 5600 xt and with very little difference in power consumption.

I would buy these cards if they were like 150-200 dollars each one as 5 of these would give me 200 Mhsh almost and just 415 watt electricity consumption which I think is one of the best options to continue mining your favorite coin.
I don't sell the 5600xt graphics card for two reasons. This is a good hash rate for Ethereum forks with low consumption and very low cost in the used parts market. In my country, such video cards with a guarantee cost 150-170 dollars, and there are a lot of offers. Look at the prices in your markets, I would recommend sapphire.

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.
