Not sure how Arsenal fans feel, but I'd be prioritising the Premier League, and while definitely try to be competitive in the other competitions, rest key players with the Premier League in mind. We've already had a World Cup disrupt the season, and they were pretty lucky to keep most of their players fit during that time. Whereas, other teams have suffered or were already suffering before the World Cup. Arsenal, are in the best position they've been in years, and I don't mean top of the table. I mean, their fitness levels, available players compared to the rest of the league. City, are even struggling with some key injuries this season which we don't usually see, as they've usually got adequate backup.
Arsenal is in great shape,beside having a lot of players available different from many other teams in the Premier League,specifically Chelsea is the most impacted team from injuries during this season and maybe they have been the reason of their consecutive bad results while Arsenal not only is without injuries but it is also very calm at the top of the table,it is the most consistent team of the Premier League and I agree that they should prioritize the Premier League but why not try to win also the Europa League and make it a double which would be if I am not wrong be a first for Arsenal. |

Liverpool against Wolves once again, that's fun. Spurs vs City is probably the most important game of this round. I'll probably be going with a Spurs win just to try, and recoup some points in this damn tournament  . Can't see them beating City though, best would likely be a draw. Chelsea, and West Ham is also a decent game, considering that both teams have been woeful as late. Probably, go with Chelsea though since they did hold out against Liverpool, and looked pretty decent with their new signings. Liverpool I think it is going to win this time too,they will be needing the points at all costs and Wolves I don't think is any good adversary to keep Liverpool from winning,I know the bad games like the one against Brighton but I think that it was more a bad day for Liverpool and if they play again I don't think Liverpool to lose again 3-0 to a team like Brighton. Chelsea vs West Ham I think if Chelsea does not win against a weak West Ham then things will be pretty downhill for Chelsea and they will not be able to play in European competitions next year. |

Here are my picks and a little side bet for the games tomorrow
FC Schalke 04 VS RB Leipzig total over 2.5
The stake odds for this game are 5.80 for Schalke 4.40 for a draw and 1.56 for Leipzig, Right now Sebastian Polter, Niklas Tauer, Justin Heekeren, Alex Kral, Thomas Ouwejan, Rodrigo Zalazar, and Sepp van den Berg, can not play for the Schalke, while Christopher Nkunku and Peter Gulacsi, can not play for Leipzig, well maybe Nkunku forever, because of the trade, for this game I think Leipzig will win this so my pick is Leipzig but my bet will be a Bet builder RB Leipzig total over 2.5
Hertha BSC VS VfL Wolfsburg
The stake odds for this game are 2.95 for Hertha 3.50 for a draw and 2.43 for Wolfsburg, Right now Stevan Jovetic, F. Niederlechner, Chidera Ejuke, and Kelian Nsona can not play for Hertha, while Paulo Otavio, has 1 game Disciplinary so he can not play, Felix Nmecha, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha both Nmecha which is a bummer for Wolfsburg, but my pick for this game are the Wolfsburg,
FC Bayern Munich VS 1. FC Koln total over 2.5
The stake odds for this game are 1.21 for Bayern 7.80 for a draw and 12.00 for Koln, right now Dayot Upamecano is doubtful if he can play for Bayern Munich, and Noussair Mazraoui, Lucas Hernandez, Sadio Mané, and Bouna Sarr has injuries and can not play for Bayern Munich while Manuel Neuer, is out for this season, while Timo Hübers has an illness, and can not play for a couple of days, and Tim Lemperle, Ellyes Skhiri, Kristian Pedersen, Luca Kilian, Mark Uth, Florian Dietz, and Sebastian Andersson can not play because of injuries, for this match Bayern Munich for sure will win, but my bet will be a bet builder FC Bayern Munich total over 2.5,
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS VfB Stuttgart
The stake odds for this game are 2.08 for Hoffenheim 3.70 for a draw and 3.45 for Stuttgart, right now Ozan Kabak had 1 game of Disciplinary, and Dennis Geiger,
Kevin Akpoguma, Kevin Vogt, Jacob Bruun Larsen, and Grischa Prömel can not play because of injuries, while Dan-Axel Zagadou, Borna Sosa, and Laurin Ulrich can not play for the Stuttgart because of injuries for this game I will be going with Hoffenheim for some reason they are doing quite fine now,
Good picks and I also wanted to bet on Bayern Munchen over 2.5 goals but the minimum in my favorite casino is over 3 goals,probably they are waiting a lot of goals during today game,I don't know if to go further than over 4.5 goals was at near 1.85 odd which is a low one considering that the teams need to score 5 goals in total.Maybe I should go and try Hertha Berlin vs Wolfsburg as in Bundesliga usually they score more than 2 goals and I think both teams play openly so yes going to follow your prediction for Hertha vs Wolfsburg game. |

I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.
He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.
What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?
He is only partially right.I used to go to offline casinos many many years ago and let me tell you one thing,I couldn't care less about taking the time and physical effort to go there,when you are addicted it is the same be it online or offline casino you don't care,you only think about it and surely the physical location of the casino is no big deal when you are such addicted. Of course the online casino is much more accessible as you can play anywhere and this is comfortable for the gambler but when it comes to addiction be it online or offline casino it won't change a thing unless you have the nearest physical casino many km away from your place. |

I certainly expected Empoli to score a goal or a draw, but in general I had no doubt that Inter would win... But the red card decided the match... I'm also surprised by the kicking stats... Empoli have almost as many of them as Inter...
If Inter Milan win they can move up to second place with 40 points and only 10 points difference with Napoli but the opportunity has been wasted we can blame the red card but Inter did not appear consistent actually the cause and they have to accept that and make Napoli more comfortable in first place to become champions this season, I doubt the 12 point advantage can be pursued by any team. I don't think a red card to a team such Inter Milan can be really called a reason as why they didn't manage to win or at least draw yesterday night.Inter was not playing like they used to,when they won the Super Cup just a couple of days earlier I thought that they would be crushing Empoli and when they got the red card I thought now it will be a bit more difficult to win but they are going to win,I can only imagine how many people including me have lost their bets. Tonight game is going to be an interesting one though,Lazio vs Milan,both teams I think are in the fight for the second place and Lazio has one strong defense so it will be interesting to see how things will fold out. |

From what I've read from source, I think the introduction of the white card by the Portuguese authorities is a good initiative and one that might not take a lot of time before its adopted into international football.
We have yellow and red card which are used to warn or ban players from the match, it makes sense to introduce another card which can be used to applaud players that play very well, and the white card could be perfect for that purpose, so indeed, it's a good idea the Portuguese authorities have shown to the world, I hope FIFA adopts this in no distance time.
The color of peace being used is really good. As said the white card being used to applaud the good act is really impressive and a much needed one. Once after a red card the player won't be able to play one match in the tournament. Same as that something credits for holding more white card makes the new rule even more impressive. Interesting new adoption.I think that it will be used rarely in a true men game as men are different than women,they can get pretty aggressive,just go and watch some youtube videos with soccer games from South America and some African leagues,you will see a lot of UFC fighting more than they are playing football and it get pretty messy in those leagues,sometimes even the referee is assaulted by hooligans,fans of those teams so I think it would not be that much of use or even if it will be it is going to be just for show but not for real,that is why FIFA has not implemented it yet and it doesn't look like they will do soon. |

Fulham vs Tottenham
Tottenham are a physical team, but Fulham players are not looking to be bullied. Fulham have had good chances and are controlling the game. Tottenham have been slow and as usual are playing with dependence on the top players in their team but Fulham are playing more like a team. Fulham to win this game if they score more than two goals in this first half and it is not looking impossible because Fulham are playing better football at the moment (25 minutes into the game). First half has ended and the both teams played to their satisfaction. But each were given Yellow Card that is two yellow cards were given in the first half of the game. Harry Kane scored the first goal in the game in extra time of the first half of the game. So as it is now Fulham 0 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur will win this match because they dominating they opponent. Rruchi man your prediction has fallen you at the die minutes of the game. Fulham will not win this because they could not scored because they lack tactics and their midfielders are not smart enough to score a goal. So hopefully Tottenham will still score another goal. Even though Tottenham have manage to take the lead during the first half that doesn't mean that they have won the game because fulham are a really dangerous side and can hit back in the second half. But the first half has been really impressive from both teams especially in the first 20 minutes of play when fulham was looking very threatening in scoring first, but Tottenham got back into the game and Harry Kane added another goal to his seaaon tally. Still waiting to see the full outcome of the game, still alot of minutes to play. I think that Tottenham really needs to win this game although it is going to be very difficult in these 25 minutes remaining as Fulham got nothing to lose now,they have been capable of scoring to almost any team except the best defense of the whole Premier League which is Newcastle,they have been a team which attacks and score goals and in fact they are attacking,the game is balanced in ball possession but Fulham is creating more and the Tottenham goalkeeper which should be Loris if I remember correctly so far is doing a great job.If Tottenham manages to get away with a win surely the big merit will be of their goalkeeper. |

Inter are having difficulties in the first half hour of the game against empoli, they are finding empoli defense tough to crack and they only had one goal chance so far which lautaro martinez missed, they need the three points today more than empoli does to take the second position temporarly and wait for milan to drop points tomorrow.
I was thinking this will be an easy game for Inter to win but Empoli is making the game more difficult for Inter. Empoli is playing a game with good performance I never expected from them. If Inter is not careful they might likely lose the game or play a draw game. Inter milan just conceded a goal while playing with just 10 men against an Empoli side that have started the game in quite recommendable fashion, unfortunately I think this might be just one of those days where we just have to count our losses by betting on Inter Milan, I even strongly doubt they'll be able to secure just a draw from here on as things stands now, Empoli just aren't backing down and have clearly been the better side so far in this encounter, tbvh. This is happening today and is a really unique happening as Inter has always been the dominating side even when they were not in the top 4 in other seasons,they have almost always won against Empoli.So far they are not being concrete to score goals and the coach normally had sacrificed some attacker in favor of a midfielder or defender to balance the game but now this is not valid anymore so I hope the coach goes all in by changing his scheme to play in the most attacking mode as Lautaro and Dzeko have been on fire lately and they can manage to score at least an equalizer in such a short time that remains. |

Those brutal stats and performance and only 300 Watt power consumption,sounds like the perfect card to run it all.There is a big limitation though in this card for everyone of us here in the forum and I believe that to be the price of near 7000 dollars,I am sure every miner and every normal user can use that amount of money in a much better and wise way than just buying a single card.
Hopefully the 4090 ti will be in those lines but I doubt it as the 4090 ti will not be higher than near 2000 dollars in total.One thing is sure though,despite the time we are in,Nvidia is continuing with their really high prices for video cards.

Isn't it funny when there is some game to be played on Monday and there is a team coming from a win and having been playing well despite losing against Atalanta and Roma which is now playing against the last place in the standings and yet they can't win,I want to call it a coincidence but such cases are almost happening every week,be it Serie A or another league but in this case the Serie A.I don't know how to call this,Bologna dominating completely the game in every aspect and the only problem they had was scoring when such team has scored even against much better teams than the last in the standings which is Cremonese.

^ There were things going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to. There were some write ups about the whole thing that said Perez admitted that he deliberately 'got an accident' in Monaco last season at Q3 denying Verstappen of his last run making a possible pole. Perez got pole and won the race.
In the team radio when Verstappen's race engineer said that he had to let Perez pass, Verstappen said something like 'we already talked about this before and I'm taking my stand.'... Something like that. Even the race strategist or Horner won't even force the issue. So something really must have happened.
I think these are only rumors and I think that they clarified the behavior between the two drivers themselves.I think that there will be no such scenarios unless Perez deliberately crashes on Max during some race,however I don't see this happening,they have clauses in their contract and I don't think Perez would let himself to be known for a bad person and to leave that memory for himself,if he cannot win the Championship himself I think he will not interfere into Max fight for the title if Max will find himself fighting for the third consecutive title in F1,for me there is a big difference in drivers quality between Max and Checo,I am not talking about the human side of each one,that is a different story. |

The DA’s office said the victim asked Argueta to claim the prize on his behalf to remain anonymous, promising $50,000 of the prize.
Argueta, who lived in Virginia at the time, agreed to claim the prize on the victim’s behalf and drove to New York to receive the winnings.
At the time, though, the New York State Gaming Commission was not accepting winning tickets in person, so Argueta mailed the ticket to the commission on Nov. 13, 202, instead.
Within weeks, Argueta reportedly went to deliver the NYS Lottery paperwork to her cousin, which said the price winnings totaled $20,000. Along with the paperwork, she handed her cousin an envelope with $13,436 in cash, and said the rest was held for taxes.
The victim found a press release from the NYS Lottery website saying Argueta claimed the $1 million prize and received a lump-sum payout of $537,440 after taxes, the DA’s office said.
The DA added that the victim called Argueta, who said she did not have any more money and if continued to call her, she would take legal action. In May 2022, Argueta forfeited $317,857.13 in winnings from her bank account, which were returned to the victim. [1] https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/texas-woman-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-cousins-1-million-winning-scratch-off-ticket/The valuable lesson that can be learned from the story above is that if you want to remain anonymous for your lottery winnings, do it yourself, and don't entrust money-related matters to other people (even if that person is someone close to you)if i were am victim, i will not reconcile with that cheating cousin, unless she returns all my winnings that she has used, how about you? There is a saying where I live,personal and emergency matters you don't leave them to anyone else and attend them yourself no matter who the other person is.I believe this saying to has origins because of such happenings where even brothers cheated each other when in stake were such huge amounts of money or winning ticket of such huge lottery prize. In order for this to not happen we should attend such things ourselves and not delegate them to anyone otherwise this that happened here would be a common scenario.For the cousin though I would not reconcile for the rest of my life if he/she did that to me. |

I would like to add another point to that list.
7. social engineering (Soft begging)
I have seen a lot of times people in the casinos chat telling some really sad stories with the intention of touching other users' hearts and that way receiving some coins. We can call it the shame speech.
Sometimes it works and other times they just get ignored but is a practice that has become more common nowadays, and users must be careful with this practice.
I have seen such happenings not at that level you are saying here,but in the Stake chatroom there are a lot of good hearten people that were sending tips to other users having bad luck,while this is in no way shame speech,the fact that some users were complaining about bad luck to other people with better luck they got in some way what they wanted to continue playing,the tips of course were small,a maximum of 0.10 Litecoin I saw there yesterday but this is something normal for me,this is not social engineering nor shame speech,just normal gamblers asking for support other fellow gamblers,something unique I would say only in the gambling community as I remember when I used to play in offline casinos when I lost everything in a night there,some other fellow gamblers tipped me each about 10 Euros and I was happy for such gesture. People who abuse this of course are using social engineering and shame speech. |

There's also the match fixing.
And the fraud goes with those people claiming that they know a match that's about to be fixed and from there, they're asking people to deposit and bet also with them.
Those that are gullible to believe them, not too curious about asking for any verifications are likely to fall for this type of fraud. Due to their greediness, they're forgetting to verify and ask certain questions and deposit quickly.
That's the problem that's coming back to them because of being greedy.
As you say those are gullible,even though I know fixed matches exist they are only for an inner circle,members of both teams fixing their encounter against each other and it is a sure thing that they won't be online asking people to help bet with them and asking money as a fee to give the gullible persons the information.I don't think any gambler except the truly desperate ones to fall for this old trap. The credit card fraud is some of the most common one,people who have enough expertise to get this data,they know that there is no better way than to buy crypto with it and transfer it to some casino to gamble it or just gamble a little and the rest to withdraw. |

That is what mostly drives me in trying this,I already did 600 staked Zil so far and I plan to add weekly like near 600 or 2500 monthly without investment from my own pocket,only mining doing this.If the price of Zil goes to the all time high of 0.276 and if you get like for example 5000 or more Zil is a nice price to get for the new year at near 1500 dollars.Of course the higher the number of Zil the better.That is what caught my eye and I started right away,sometime even when I win my bets in sport betting I add like about 300 Zil so I have started with a lot of enthusiasm here,I will keep this thread open and not lock it to talk about such staking,how it is going.
Good luck with that choice, if you're doing it steady as we're about to come with the bull run I think that's a good plan of yours. Zil is still part of the top 100 and with that enthusiasm that you're saying then it's good that you're doing it with a nice approach and plan. I don't want to say something negative that's basically going to give you a bad mood but it's not bad at all, it's like the typical recommendation that we used to say and here about investing you can afford to lose.  Thank you and even if someone would keep saying bad things about it,I don't think I will be impacted,I don't think Atomic wallet is going to disappear which is the real only concern that I have to lose my Zils,so since this wallet has the 12 words secret it means that I can reincorporate into other multi crypto wallet that uses the same technology and have my Zils there,so I think I am worry free from this part. I am only investing like 25-100 dollars weekly which for 52 weeks is a minimum of 1250 dollars up to 5200 dollars investment,something I can afford to lose and be happy with the result of my experiment back then,the only thing I don't know if I will have is patience,I usually most of the times don't have that much but here I am committed to bring this experiment to the end,it is also my new year resolution as they say  . |

Fpga getting bigger and many miner adopt this very quickly, and they ruined gpu&cpu mining, there is lot of miner using free electricity and some of big farm had water turbin generators so they only focused about maintenance fee, sad but true you cant compete with them in bear market, some miner just mined at loss to support the network as hobbiest
I am also mining at a loss but of course not as a hobby,with a long term vision that this amount generated during this time after many months or after a couple of years can be very well x10 to x500 of the price of these coins I am mining. As a hobby I am only mining ZIL and staking it in Atomic wallet which hopefully by the end of this year should have given me a minimum of 1500 dollars as pure profit,15% APY for staking if the price is like near 0.03,if it happens that ZIL goes again to all time high it had at 0.27 then it will be near 15.000 dollars of profit so this hobby can turn in something uniquely beautiful. |

CIty has won none in this competition. The performance from city is really weak. Being qualified for the next round didn't mean city will be winning the trophy. City was participating in champion league so many times but yeah chelsea is even better in this competition rather than manchester city. City was just a team that specialized on the domestic league. It can't compete in the UCL. City is still far from good in UCL. A bunch of money didn't make city can win UCL instantly. City was almost making it but Chelsea was far better compared with city.
Statistically, Manchester City is very bad in the Champions League and it has lasted for many seasons since Pep Guardiola has handled them. Maybe as long as there is Real Madrid, it seems that Manchester City will not be able to go any further to win the champions league trophy. For Chelsea, maybe it's still better because they won this trophy, but with the current performance, even in the regular league, they are in a very bad position, the chance to move into the quarter-finals seems very small. Real Madrid this year is not in the best of their shape so Manchester City could have a chance.They just need to play relaxed as they surely have the man power to beat any team in the Champions League.I know that also Manchester City is not in the best of their form too but as I said they have truly world class players like Haaland which can clearly make a difference in this 2 encounters elimination. Chelsea I think will not be able to qualify further because of their recent form which is not good at all,unless they find some pace in these 2-3 games remaining before the Champions League encounter then most likely they will be eliminated. |

CASA PIA vs GIL VICENTE
~~
Both Teams Score
MARÍTIMO vs ESTORIL
~~
Both Teams Score
Would love to hear your comments on these tips!
Well you got one right and you missed the other. Casa Pia scored a goal, but ended up conceding 3 goals against Gil Vicente. Maritimo, on the other hand, surprised to win the game against Estoril, by one goal. Today ends the journey, with the game Boavista vs Chave. I believe that Boavista will win. I hope that Boavista wins but their last game against Braga shows a completely unable Boavista to create chances and to be dangerous.I know that Braga is the most in form team of the league recently and now Boavista is playing at home so most likely they are going to win but sure it won't be that easy. Betting on both teams to score here may be a dangerous bet as both teams are in near equal position in the standings and the amounts of goals scored from both sides is low,this may as well and in a goalless draw tonight. |

Inter vs Empoli that i can understand why the bookie provide low odds for Inter @1.29 this because from their meetings statistics Inter was never been lose from Empoli since 2018 but Empoli in the good shape that they had successfully to improved their performance with only lose once from 5 matches so Inter have to focus for this match because Empoli has a potention to make them in trouble but all of Inter players currently in the good mentally especially after beat Milan at Italy Super Cup and i have been noticed too Lautaro Martinez is on fire that after return to play from world cup he has scoring goals 4 times in a row in the last 4 matches and his duet with Dzeko probably will be played again by Inzaghi today
The odds are normal I think,Inter players are of much better quality than those of Empoli and also the case of Inter being superior to Empoli is not only since 2018 but I would say since forever,I try to find times when Empoli was superior and these during all the years of Serie A can be counted with the fingers of only one hand,therefore the bookies are right. I also expect a lot of goals in this game as Inter was capable of scoring 2 goals to Milan in the Super Cup and in here they can score much more if the players continue with the same enthusiasm of their late performances. |

The first debut and first win for Cristiano Ronaldo when he became the starting line-up for Al-Nassr vs Al-Ettifaq last night. In this match, Cristiano Ronaldo also carried out an important task as captain of Al-Nassr, even though he didn't score in his debut match, this result was good enough for the team to win. Still waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo's progress in the next match, I hope he can score goals in the next match later.
You cannot expect him to adapt that soon to a Championship much lower in quality than the ones he has played so far.Nevertheless he played a good game I think and the team won which makes me think that the progress he will have with Al Nassr is going to be really good and we can only expect a really large number of goals scored by him in this new adventure.For this to happen he just needs a bit of time,just some games for him to adapt completely to the new team and goals will come and as I said in large quantities. |
