Everybody talking about ETH as an altcoin to have in your portfolio is something I am always against it since September 15 2022,the exact day when ETH moved to PoS from the perfect PoW operation.What makes you guys think that ETH will have a bright future?I don't think it will have one as I don't know as of yet a truly successful PoS coin and do not get deceived by the small increase this coin always have when Bitcoin price goes up,when Bitcoin prices go to the next all time high I am sure we won't see ETH follow it in the same range as it did when it was a PoW coin,it does not have the support of a huge number of persons known as miners,they have switched to other coins and ETH is just a coin managed by a gang (stakeholders),they decide the roadmap and is far from decentralization so don't expect any big success for it.

^  City could give Arsenal a tough match tho...  And it looks like Arsenal is getting figured out.  Last couple of last 6 matches shows that they could be starting to falter.  Guardiola and his boys should go for the jugular.  Which raises my other point...  Emery could go for the jugular too and take advantage knowing that the Gunners doesn't have much rest.

I posted this in Jolly's thread but seems like no one really bets on the matches there...  But what do you guys think of Aston Villa draw no bet is at 3.50 and double chance win or draw is at 2.18?  :/

I think that for City this is a life and death match in the sense that it can decide this Premier League season for them.If they manage to win this game they would go on equal points with Arsenal and then give them a motivational boost to continue their good form but if they lose this game together with this loss they also start losing hopes of winning the Premier League despite this being still mathematically possible.

On an Arsenal point of view they need to win this game at any cost after performing really bad in these last two rounds of the Premier League as if they lose this game they also get hit with a psychological impact that they are not doing well and going from bad to worse.

Tonight Liverpool has a great opportunity against a weak Everton despite this being a derby game and to win it in order to comeback and still has a chance to fight for the top 4.While a while back it looked like impossible now it is doable and they need to start winning games starting from tonight.Something that caught my eye though is the odd increased exponentially to Liverpool to near 1.7 while I put it as a bet on Saturday with 1.5 odd,I think 1.7 is a super odd for Liverpool despite their recent not so good form,when playing at home in front of their fans you can expect good games from them most of the time and I expect tonight game to be one of them.

PSG are going to face the champions of Germany who are not even in a good shape, both teams are just not in their prime with injury problem and other issues which are making them play like lower division teams in there respective leagues. Am not sure if this fixture will be the game to watch despite the fact that we're expecting a big game from both domestic champions, well, time will tell if it will be an interesting game to watch. If I should go for a pick in this fixture, I'll go for a draw.
The situation is not good for PSG that before faced this match they got 2 losing streak at Ligue 1 and Coupe De France and condeded 5 goals from those matches i think they have serious problem on their defensive lines besides that Galtier still can't overcomes the loss of Mbappe and Messi because i saw other players who played as their replacement still cannot performing well

Bayern Munich is big team in europa and their performance are getting better in the Bundesliga so if we see recent condition from PSG i think it's hard for them to beat Bayern although PSG as a host on the first leg even i am start to thinking probably Bayern will going to win the match and it is very possible to do so because previously Bayern can able to do that on season 2021

I think that PSG lost those games exactly to be prepared for the upcoming Champions League encounter.Most probably this will be a very good game to watch as super star players like Messi and Neymar will be facing one of the best teams not only in the Bundesliga but in whole Europe.I think this is an encounter which can go either way and it would not be a surprise whichever team qualifies further.

PSG will be much more motivated than Bayern because they are fighting for many years to win the Champions League but this does not mean anything as Bayern is a great team and PSG maybe as well as eliminated in this direct elimination game.

I am not busy or bored, I like to keep WoF spins as long as I can (usually I spin them all before the Lambo draw...), currently, I have over 1k WoF spins on waiting:


We have two months until the Lambo draw, 60 days x 9 spins every day... I think soon it will be 10 spins daily. I guess I will have around 1700 spins in that time... can I hope that one of them will be Rolex? Smiley That would be awesome! Smiley
that's a nice collection guys, I want to hear what reward you will get from 1700 rounds of WOF later, share with us all here so we can also become VIP members in freebitcoin, I haven't collected much but I will add some FUN in time close to get more WOF tickets, good luck getting big prizes there

Pretty sure whatever the reward the person with 1700 WoF spins gets I am sure they are good enough even if they only get like the base rewards.If he gets 500x50 satoshi,500x50 rp and 500x50 lottery tickets this for me is good enough and this is also the minimum the person will get and that is 25.000 Satoshi which you can buy quite a nice amount of FUN tokens with them,25.000 rp which you can put to good use and also 25.000 lottery tickets that can give you a boost in the Sunday lottery,so everything coming from the Premium Membership is good.

Barcelona most likely deserved the three points in this game as they played much better than Villareal in general but lately in the last minutes of the game Villareal stepped up their game a lot and they even scored a regular goal for me and many others I believe but which was incredibly disallowed for offside by the referee,again another time when the referee impacts the game although this time for good considering how many people have bet on Barcelona to win this game but imagine when the referee impact the games for bad,how many bets we have lost that way,they cannot be counted.

All the pressure to Real now which I think clearly understands that their chances to win La Liga are real slim this time so they should most probably shift their full focus to the Champions League.

With PSG losing points and Marseille winning away, the gap between them is down to 5 points. This week was a very important week for the title race. Monaco also won and it must be said that they also caught a good series.
At the moment, Lens, one of the teams in the race, continues to play. The situation is 1-1 in Lyon away. They will not want to lose points in the week PSG lost. They will put more effort to win in the second half.

I think that PSG losing in such times is not their main concern.They have as the primary objective going as further as possible in the Champions League and winning it,they have this as their main objectives from many years now and they sure have super star players able to win every game against every opponent.I think that is the main reason that they have lost against Monaco,they think that their supremacy in Ligue 1 cannot be discussed and most likely they are going to win this season too but they can afford to lose a game or two and still be at the top while their full focus is on the upcoming Champions League encounter.

Another fake car, this time Alpha Tauri and luckily it will be the last rendering.

Source: https://www.formulapassion.it/motorsport/formula-1/alphatauri-new-york-moda-motori-insieme

From after tomorrow I think the real presentations of the big ones will start and soon after we will have some testing and then soon after that we will be watching the first 2023 F1 race and that is just awesome!

I am personally not that much interested in the real car presentations as I am in seeing how well will they perform in the very short time testing that we will have before starting the season,I think we will have just 2 or a maximum of 3 days of testing and that is a very short amount of time to gather real data on different cars and their performance,for me the real measurement of how well a car performs will be the official qualifying of the first race.
4649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 12, 2023, 08:50:22 PM
Juventus deserved to win this match. 1-0 was a risky score of course but they still managed to preserve it to the end somehow.

I really liked Juventus especially in offense. They could have scored more goals and they were near doing so as well. But Vlahovic's goal was disallowed by a slight offside. The same thing happened to Fiorentina also otherwise it would have been a chance for them to cling to the game. VAR referees had a little tough job on both incidents really. Fiorentina left quite much space in their defense which was a good chance for Juventus to take advantage of. This winning streak is helping Juventus catch up with Lazio now but the gap is still 10 points of course.

Juventus was in top form before they were hit with the punishment that gave them -15 points,if they had not such a punishment from the Italian Football Federation then they would be in the second place with 44 points right now.Of course this would not help in anyway to give more interest to the Serie A because the Serie A is already over with Napoli winning and going like 16 points in difference.There is still the second half for them but I doubt that Cremonese the last place in the standings will cause any problems to them.

Juventus if they did not have that -15 points removed then they would be in a very good position which would give them access to the Champions League,now because of such decision they will suffer to get there,it is almost impossible for them.

jeremypwr reached me via PM last night and he said that he would talk to Steve about the sponsorship in the coming week. If there is positive news jeremypwr or I will inform you about it under this subject.

By the way, I'm very excited about Ford's getting into a partnership with RedBull as of 2026 and coming back to F1.


I think that a sponsorship is sure to attract more users as I think the low prizes were somewhat of a factor together with the event being held for the first time that we only reached 12 persons as a maximum.

As for the Ford comeback they are suffering with sales I assume that they want to come back at a time when even Audi has expressed such desires to be part of F1 in 2026 and even KIA has such a desire,to me the more brands the better as most probably we can end up seeing races with 24-26 cars on the grid and that would add to the beauty of F1 in general.
4651  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Buying a video card for the next mining season on: February 12, 2023, 07:07:38 PM
the next generation after gddr6x. 2xxx is a bear market series 4xxx is a bear market series. 5xxx series is the target, you can't rush things hehe
In the bull market, even old graphics cards were profitable, but we don't know if the 2000 and 3000 series will be profitable in 2024 or later when the Nvidia RTX 5090 comes out.

true but..

there is always a "what if" after a new generation of tech is released there could be an enormous leap in performance like from 9xx to 1xxx and electricity savings from more efficient tech.

there is also a small window of opportunity to buy those new cards cheap before bullrun starts hehe, but who knows if the PTSD is too strong you wouldn't want to buy those new cards hehe.
I don't see performance breakthroughs. Many modern mining algorithms are highly dependent on the core frequency. And if we get a high hashrate, then the consumption of the PTX 4090 video card is in the range of 300-400 watts. For such mining, the miner needs to invest a lot of money in the cooling system.

No matter how big the performance breakthrough of the new cards,for example of the Rtx 4090 over previous generation it would still cost a lot of money to get it and in these condition where mining is not profitable and it does not look like it is going to be,at least in the short and mid term,there is no real reason why to spend money on such cards.As I said continuing with 3060 ti for the moment remains the most wise thing to do because of 60-62 Mhsh for just 115 watt power consumption which is a great performance/cost combination.Five of such cards give you 300 Mhsh with less than 700 watt overall power consumption and you can mine quite a decent amount of daily new coins like ETHW,ETHF and ZIL to name a few.

There is no reason to jump to the newest generation in such conditions.

This week Arsenal failed to get 3 points while the other teams in the top 3, Manchester United and Manchester City managed to win so that brought their points closer.
The only game left this week is the match between Liverpool vs Everton. Somehow my doubts about Liverpool are getting bigger now even though they are going to face a weak team. Yes, that's because their appearance is always bad and there doesn't seem to be any good progress. Last week also surprisingly Wolves FC could beat them with 3 goals without reply.

Now we are in a great moment of the Premier League.Arsenal had in their hands to win the title this year yet in the last two games they screw it up in the maximum way possible by losing to a team like Everton which is very weak during this season and continuing yesterday when they could not go further than a draw 1-1 with Brentford,that is losing 5 points in two games and now from 8 points distance the Manchester City is only 3 points,just one game and as far as I know they have a direct encounter which would decide this Premier League title most likely and even if that game does not decide anything it will be a wide open Premier League with City being the favorite now that I saw Arsenal not playing well.

I knew that Manchester United would have won today game against Leeds and not only I predicted it as a correct score I think here but I also played quite a decent amount of money on them to win the game,the odd this time was much better than when they were playing at home.Leeds was just lucky to get a draw in Manchester home in the last game and today that was proof of that.

Manchester City on the other hand is crushing Aston Villa and is getting 3 points closer to the Arsenal leaders making the Premier League wide open again.
4654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 12, 2023, 01:55:18 PM
In the Napoli vs Cremonese match, the hosts are the clear favourites. Napoli are confidently heading for the Italian championship, while Cremonese has only got 8 points so far and is the main candidate for relegation from Serie A. However, the hosts cannot underestimate their rivals. Let me remind you that not so long ago it was Cremonese that eliminated Napoli from the Copa Italia, and in the next round they beat AS Roma. However, I believe that this time there will be no surprises and the leader will add another 3 points to his achievements.
The Napoli match is ahead. But it has to be said that Napoli are currently performing better. They have secured victory in most of the matches. It is expected that Napoli will secure victory from the opposition team in the next match.

The game from first place Napoli with an awesome recent form against last place which for me is already relegated Cremonese will not have any big story,Napoli is going to win that game easily.I think that even if Napoli will play tonight with their second formation in order to not risk key players for the Champions League encounters that will start soon,they still can win very easily such game against such team.I wonder what motivation could be for the Cremonese team to play really strong and beautiful football when they are with just 8 points in the standings after so many games played.
4655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Signs of compulsive gambling on: February 12, 2023, 01:31:04 PM
Would you like to add to these signs ?
I have friends who are compulsive gamblers and one thing I have observed about them is how they somehow always have the money to gamble even when they complain about not having money for other certain important bills like feeding, clothing etc. Compulsive gamblers can chose not to eat or reduce their meals, to cutting internet subscription, cutting television subscription, and refuse to get new clothes when necessary just so they can have money to gamble with. A compulsive gambler in chronic and severe cases can get aggressive when they cannot gamble or do not have the money to.

When they get aggressive it means they are in the most severe case of their disease and they should immediately recover in a rehab center,they should be forced by family members to go there in order for them to recover from such a bad illness.

It is true that these kind of gamblers always have the money to do so and I know a story of a friend of mine that he together with his brother were playing sport betting during all day and spent all the money they had even those to get meals and food to eat but some other fellow gamblers gave them like 10 dollar tips in support to them and that is the only good from gambling I think,people who gamble show empathy,we can see it even in online websites,in big casinos where in their chat people are tipping each other.

https://www.theblock.co/post/210804/ethereum-cofounder-vitalik-buterin-donates-99-ether-to-ahbap-earthquake-support


He has donated Ethereum worth $150000 to help people in Turkey and Syria because of recent earthquake. This is not the first time he had done this. He did a similar work in the past where he made big donation using crypto in India.

When we talk about crypto and alt coins, so may people associate scams and bad people related to it. But this is an example that there are good people associated with crypto and crypto can be used for good work also in the society. Have you ever made any charity in crypto or plan to do so in future ?

He did the right thing here as this move shows that crypto can be used to do really good deeds like this one,helping people affected by a really destructive earthquake who has already taken more than 20.000 people lives and over 75.000 are injured so Turkey and Syria need as much money as they can get.

I have done charity using crypto several times but my amounts have never passed more than 100 dollars per charity as that is how much money I can afford for charity and I always use crypto because I want to be anonymous.

Every time I see donations in Linkedin for example I post there (with my wife account of course) about why not making crypto available as a form of payment,everyone of us has to do his part to make crypto more widely accepted.

That is how you lose a Championship

Exactly, that's why I never believe in Arsenal teams. They were in these kind of positions a lot of times in recent years, and they always manage to throw it all away.

I do think they are a good team - and this time around they actually do have some experienced players as well. I still feel that they will come up short in the title race though.

Things look this way right now but in order for them to lose the title Manchester City needs to get on a winning run because they are not in a good form either.If they win tomorrow they will come much closer at a just 3 points difference but they will have a game more than Arsenal so overall Arsenal still looks like the most favored team to win the title this year.

Has anyone else got some huge amount of points,where is the captain of our pool who likes to play draws,if he played 1-1 draws today I am pretty sure he would be climbing a lot of positions easily.

Count me in for this year too and this time around I won't be starting penalized because I didn't know about the EBP-Early Brew Points so maybe I would have been second place and not third last season but this is of no importance,the prizes were small but the adrenaline and emotions were enhanced by this pool for me,as I will be watching F1 even if this pool did not exist at all.Looking forward to have more participants during this year and I would also love a bigger sponsorship,usually Sportsbet sponsors such pools but they need more people in order to give us like 0.10 or more as a sponsored amount.

Did anybody feel that the Brentford goal was offside? I think that it was off twice, not just the 1st time.
Still, it was a really cheap goal to concede and Arsenal should be able to close games like these a bit better - they deserved all the points today.

City is now only 6 points away - with a relatively easy game tomorrow.

That is how you lose a Championship,you lose points with mid table teams when you are playing them at home and you think there is no problem losing 2 points just like that.Now together they are 5 points lost in just two games and they are lucky I think that Manchester City did not win their game last time around,I am sure they are going to have a relatively easy win tomorrow against Aston Villa.

The biggest surprise results though for me and I believe for everyone else was Tottenham lost game with a tennis result.It is one of the most inconsistent teams of all the Premier League.I guess I only have 1.5 points or maybe 4.5 if I got Fulham correct score.
4660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 11, 2023, 01:13:30 PM
I'm curious about Arsenal vs Brentford. Arsenal recently suffered a very surprising defeat against weak Everton. Brentford, on the other hand, has the most points in the league in recent matches. Brentford are also undefeated in 9 league matches and are certainly hoping to extend this streak also against the leader. Since they have already won against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City this season, they have reason to count on a good result today as well. However, I believe that Arsenal's last defeat was just an accident at work and they will get 3 points again today.

That is nothing to stop Arsenal I think and I took profit from a big odd from Arsenal which had 1.50 odd playing at home while they are leading the Premier League.I think that was a bad game with a lot of bad luck for Arsenal as Arsenal dominated the game and created a whole lot of chances but the ball did not want to enter Everton goal at that game and I am pretty sure that today we will see a different game.Most likely Arsenal will win putting additional psychological pressure on Manchester City which will be forced to win their game in order to continue to have chances to fight for the league title.
