Manchester city VS Manchester united match on Saturday January 14th will determine how strong Manchester united are in this season, because they have proven to their fans that they are able to achieve this season title by defeating many teams to around at this stage. But it will be difficult for Manchester united to achieve victory from this match, because Manchester city will never allow any mistake to happen that will make the match to end up draw 1-1. Haaland will definitely achieve goals that will bring success to Manchester city in this match, because he has the capacity to make things work for the favour of the team.
This derby match is definitely an opportunity for the two clubs to show who is the greatest and strongest. Moreover, with a shorter rest period, Man City needs to be smart about the player's fitness. Moreover, MU is also hot, winning its last eight matches in all competitions.
Talking about the derby against MU, Man City manager Pep Guardiola admits he has a crazy plan. He didn't explain further what his plans are, but it can be expected that he will drop a tactical surprise against Manchester United, I think Manchester City will win the game later

This derby will clarify a lot of things.If Manchester City fails to win this game or maybe they even can't hold a draw the problem will be big for them as most likely I think this would put them in theory out of the title fight so I believe Manchester City to play much more motivated in this game.

I of course know this is a derby and in a derby any result can happen and it would not be a surprise as in the end that is why it is called a derby game.It would surely be a great game to watch.

I think any users that say they're make a living in sports betting is complete bullshit because they're still wear the paid signature lol, if you've make money through betting, why you need to spend time in this forum for posting? Posting in this forum is require a lot time since you need to read the whole posts and post on topic, but the weekly payout is small compare to your winning in sports betting.

I don't think anyone here has said explicitly that they are living from sport betting and winning a lot of money.I agree with you that is extremely difficult to make a living out of gambling no matter how good you may be at it,it is still luck that determines the outcome.

As I said in my first reply here in this thread I am trying my experiment,deposited some 0.14 Litecoin and will play a single bet daily most likely both teams to score with 0.02 Litecoin as a wager and see how it goes for this week.For today I choose Ligue 1 in France,the game of Lens and Lens draw no bet at 1.44 odd.

Nice rewards from WoF's spins rolls today. That is the ideal results in my opinion: few lottery tickets, average number of RPs and a lot of sweet satoshis! 5000 satoshis prize and 500 RPs prize in 45 spins. Really good, I was waiting for that since a long time already, but it has finally come!

https://i.imgur.com/qLYSLXc.png
That's a sweet win mate  Kiss, congratulations, i played the wheel of fortune this morning and won 50 satoshis  Grin, i will have to withdraw my FUN tokens from the exchange and deposit and stake it on freebitco so i could start getting my 4 free spins everyday.

Buy the way, I am curious to know if any user here has ever won that lambo ticket, or the lambo itself, been a very long time that has been on the board but I've never seen an announcement that a user actually won it.

I have won the highest prize of the WoF regarding GT tickets which are the lambo tickets you are asking and also some other user has won them too.It is the 50 GT from a spin from the WoF but it served neither of us for anything as no one of us won the Lambo.This last time around a user in the forum won it and he had more than 10.000 such tickets.

I suggest you become a Premium member and enjoy the benefits by depositing at least 2500 or more FUN tokens here as they are worth it.

The consistency of Barcelona is being rewarded by now being in the first place and leading the La Liga.I know that last game was not at all easy and Atletico Madrid played better the second half and created many dangerous chances to equalize but Barcelona defense and their goalkeeper were rock solid during that very important and delicate game for taking La Liga leadership.

Real Madrid players are a bit I would say conceited and they think that they can beat any team just by their name,yet they should now start thinking different and that is that every game is won on the pitch and not in their mind.Good luck now catching Barcelona again as all the pressure will be on them which can also cause them to panic and make false steps during the way.

Just think of those professional poker players that have been making a living from that profession. Then, it's truly possible that someone can be an expert in sports betting.

Since sports betting isn't all about luck, someone can learn and study how the chosen sports to be as a bettor would work.

Just like any thing that we do like trading or investing, the struggle is there at the beginning. But if you're passionate about it, you'll get to learn from your losses.

I think of Poker as a 90% skill game and only 10% luck based so in Poker it all depends on your knowledge,the ability to have patience which amount for 90% of skill and that 10% of luck is how good you are at reading adversaries face expressions during the tournament.We have seen Pokerstars in Tv how some of the most skillful players have bluffed hard and has won a big hand in Texas holdem poker specifically with only 2 and 3 as their cards.

In sport betting you have skill yes but the problem is that you cannot really predict the outcome of the game if the referee impacts the game a lot,you have in no way control over such happenings and this makes me think that here we are in 50-50 equal percentage of skill and luck so it is difficult to make a living out from something with only 50% chance.

Quote
Katrina Bookman was playing the slots at the Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, Queens when she secured what would have been the largest slot machine jackpot in US history - $42,949,672 (£35.4m). She took a selfie with the machine to mark the moment, and later said her whole body went 'numb' when she saw the life-changing figure. Bookman was told to come back the next day to discuss her winnings, but when she asked an employee what she'd be walking away with, he responded: "You didn't win nothing." The New York State Gaming Commission said Bookman’s machine had malfunctioned, and that she'd actually won just $2.25 (£1.86).The machine had a disclaimer stating 'malfunctions void all pays and plays', and as a result the commission said that they were required by law to give Bookman only what she'd actually won.

Some Casinos are just plain fraudulent. So this woman visited a casino, play slot and won $43million. She took a selfie with the amount displayed on the machine. The casino saw it and told her to return the next day so they could talk about the winnings. Next day she returned. Story changed. She was told the machine had malfunctioned and therefore it was what was responsible for the winnings. They went ahead to offer her a complimentary steak dinner. I got so livid reading this story.

Isn't this just the stupidest reason not to give her her winnings?
Couldn't they have known that their so-called machine was faulty before letting gamblers use it?
How could they do this to her?

I am not surprised by the level of such type of casinos.That is why when playing in an offline casino it is always a good idea to be prepared well and got to play only on the capital of gambling,in Las Vegas.I am sure there are not that many stories,in fact I don't know any in Vegas that can cheat you like this by looking you in the eye.It was the error of the woman who agreed to come tomorrow,she should have insisted I want my money now or at least to ask for a contractual agreement before leaving the casino.When you win that huge amount it is only natural to ask about such signing by a notary.

In these plain fraudulent casinos only the law can make them pay in any way.

Was it really Mourinho who made the cup games "exciting" again?

I don't think it was Mourinho.I know that in England FA cup is the most valued cup by all the teams because they a couple of other cups going but not as famous as this one,this is the most important one,we saw that with lower league teams beating the hell out of Premier League sides and this says a lot about the importance of such cup.You may think that these Premier League sides underestimated the value of this cup but this is not the reality,the reality is that they were found unprepared during such matches and that is why it is better to bet both teams to score rather than money lines here,a lot of surprise results.

It was so important even in Asia that before satelite tv came with all the live shows, national TV and radio even broadcast FA Cup programmes including prematch discussions and it was a big thing that everyone would play to win.

It changed after Champions League qualification was more "valuable" than FA Cup (which doesn't qualify you).

Also lower side PL teams prefer to fight survival (and keep earning more money) than to win FA Cup.

I definitely think some teams no longer value this cup.
FA cup has history on its side, it is the oldest national competition in the world, only football of course. It still has a lot of charm, but money took away a lot from FA cup. It just doesn't pay nowhere near the money European places in the Premier League and it is normal that clubs prioritize that.

Maybe but I see a lot of teams from lower divisions valuing this cup a lot and as far as I know it still is the most important cup in England.Today for example we have about a couple of games in the English League Cup but I don't think teams here play as seriously as they do in the FA cup,in this context I think that the FA cup is still the most valued and respected cup in England.

Of course teams having to fight for the Champions League like Newcastle they simply does not want to lose to have another go in their home field where I am sure they will qualify further.Also problematic teams like Chelsea and lower ranked teams in the Premier League like Aston Villa and Nottingham may as well not give this cup the due respect it deserves because they will think more for the Premier League.
5008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 10, 2023, 01:07:39 PM

With Messi return and eventually Neymar, there will be more possibilities in the attack line rather than counting only on Mbappe.
PSG - Angers shouldn't be a problem for them, Rennes game is more challenging then up to February to see PSG suffering with harder games in different leagues vs Bayern, Monaco, Lille and Marseille..

Angers is the last team in Ligue 1, they have conceded 37 goals in 17 games, and now they have to play against the strongest attack in the league, and all the players will be in the squad. PSG will win this game without any problems, and will score at least 2-3 goals. Lens will go to Strasbourg, the bookmakers give 2.02 for their victory, which is a good odds considering that Strasbourg is the neighbor of Angers in the standing, they are both at the bottom.

That is so because in France to the home team is given a big advantage in the odds no matter that they,Strasbourg are near the bottom while Lens is fighting to win the title.If this was to happen in Premier League or Italy Serie A for example the odd would not have been more than 1.7 at a maximum for such game.I also we should take profit from this error margin from the bookies and bet on Lens to win the game or at least a draw no bet if we would be happy with a 1.45 odd and knowing that most likely Lens will not lose and in the case of a draw we would get our money back.

I heard lots of stories online that there are people who are making a living in sports betting, and honestly it really inspires me that's why I'm still gambling now. So I'm just curious, do we have members of the forum here that are making a living in sports betting? Can they share some inputs on how to be successful like them?

I hope they will share so we will know if it's really possible. I mean, as the saying goes, casinos always win because they have the advantage, so how come people are making a living in sports betting?

I am going to give it a try.In my latest experiments that I am making I am seeing that 75-90% of the games I have placed a bet both teams to score yes by judging team forms and in depth analysis from all the predictions,news and reviews sites I think I am ready to test this,I don't mean to make a living literally but to try and see how long I will keep up this rate.For this I am starting today by not playing the usual slot machine with my weekly bankroll of 100 dollars but converting it to Litecoin and start my attempt.

I know this is huge what I am trying here but so far from my analysis when I have not bet they have come true,let's see when I bet now  Grin.Will be reporting after a week or a bit more or earlier depending,I will start with 0.20 Litecoin or a bit less as a beginning as I can't really quit slot machines that easily.

Impressive and consistency performance showed by Juventus, current standing at matchday 7 have drop to bottom and right now Juventus back to 2nd position after dropping AC Milan standing. Honestly, Juventus not really have attractive games play due last two matches after international break have one winning goals only.

Scored two goals last two matches nothing special with Juventus but they have solid defensive, without conceded any one goals from last eight matches in domestic league become new history how Juventus defensive strong. Up next match more excited because Juventus against Napoli and will the 8 winning record for Juventus stopping or keep going on.

For me that is normal and not "impressive".The reason is that not for nothing Juventus is well over 30 times the Champion of Italy in Serie A,they have that consistency even when they start with bad results,they usually recover.They are the team with most titles but guess what,most of these titles are won not from super star players in the team but from normal players who had an unexplained love for the heavy shirt of Juventus.These players always played in a compact way and gave to Juventus this huge amount of titles.I would not be surprised at all if they become Champions during this year.

It would be interesting only in the sense that AI and more specifically ChatGPT what it does is that it collects information based on what you ask and shows you a big text as an answer to what you have asked.This can be important and a really good feature to use for us sport bettors that don't have time to check all the predictions websites ourselves and ChatGPT can come in handy as it can show us information collected from all these sites so we can immediately have an overview of what other people think for the event we are about to bet on.

Anyone knows why the lottery winners are not yet declared in the website,it still shows that 120 tickets won prize from many time ago while they used to update this stat a maximum of several hours later than 16.30 CET time which is the time in which the draw is held every Sunday.

I am not concerned because I never win here but am curious at why this delay.

I think emails are sent automatically (it's hard to believe it would be manual process) so if you did not receive any, you did not win ;-)
I understand that changing the page requires human action, but at the end what we see there - nothing interesting - we may just be jealous if someone with 50 tickets wins or we wonder how someone did collect 10 mln tickets.

It hasn't changed until today and when we check the lottery section what we will see is the round 60th  of lottery, and you are right it will only make us jealous to see the winner list, because this display reminds us how happy the person with only 120 tickets can get 1.8 BTC, in the early rounds the lottery prizes were quite a lot compared to lately

That is the reason I was asking for an update,as I said I am just curious to see how much tickets have these last 10 winners.I know my odds are really low and irrelevant to be a winner here but when I see people that win even with 50 or less tickets this also gives me hope that maybe the next round I will have better luck and I will something.I think like this because I have a minimum of over 2000 tickets every week with once in every three weeks well over 7000 because once every three weeks I win a 5000 Lottery tickets in the WoF spins.
5013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Recommendation ! Which coin do you recommend mining at 3000W free power output ? on: January 09, 2023, 08:08:06 PM
I share the same opinion to be honest, but I posted in the altcoin section because I'm a bit worried about this increasing difficulty in mining that I keep reading about. And I can only imagine it will continue, I'll look into how much can it earn, given the fact that I didn't took into account mining posibility I'm left with this outpot power, basically everything will be in profit because the investment was not for mining itself. A "friend"of mine is mining on SCRYPT (LTC+DOGE) and makes around 1.8$/day, I'm not sure what device he is using though.

I think he is using any Antminer L3+ because the other one,the L7 the new device at 9500 Mhsh should do fairly better than 1.8$ dollars daily by mining both LTC+DOGE which is common from people using these kind of devices.Now that I see the profit of the L7 device it is near 14 dollars daily so most likely your friend is using either an old version of Antminer like L3+ or some of the new mini miners that have come out like Apollo and the likes.The Antminer L3 in fact is in red and it can make you almost -1 dollar daily so most likely your friend either has free electricity or one of the new mini miners.

Fulham is actually in great shape lately, and even this squad was good enough to beat Hull

I have to admit I really underestimated this team, even knowing that their main striker was coming up from the lower league with a good scoring record. Seems like a much cheaper but equally effective "Benzema" who can play even though injured and still comes up with all the goals.

Since Manchester City has been dominating the league, the FA Cup and the League Cup have been the only hope for any other top six teams to win a trophy. I recall the FA Cup and the League Cup being a competition for bench players and academy players until Mourinho started fielding his best players for the competition and there was a comment he made ( i cant remember) that made other top clubs start fielding their main squads as well. Arsene Wenger was the only manager who continued to use feeders until things started to get tougher



Newcastle's lost to S. Wednesday... This is insane; I guess Eddie Howe underestimated the Wednesday and was punished for it. Grin

You forgot that League cup has also been dominated by City and we have to thank Leicester and Liverpool for making sure they don't win FA cup last season also.

Was it really Mourinho who made the cup games "exciting" again?

Whatever strategy, either hold or do day trade or scalping, the intention remain the same, gaining profits is what traders are targeting
and if they can achieve that then it's a good trade for them.


I agree with this.While personally I have always and still am against daily trading because I consider it the same as gambling,something in which you have no control over,in gambling you have no control over the slot machines you play and in trading you have no control on external market factors doing the same as those slot machines,making you lose money in the long run.

What I love and call a profitable business usually is to hold the coins,or mine and hold the coins during time exactly like ours,a deep crypto winter and sell in the next bull run,it take patience to do this but it is I think a guaranteed trade that will make you profit in the long run.

I'm looking at buying an ASIC but not sure if they're still profitable. I finished building my house and have 3000W surplus to use from solar panels. Which coins should I consider mining when I have 3000W free power for usage ?

Bitcoin I think would be great with a S19 which consumes about just over the 3000 Watt at 3250 Watt but of course I know that there are better coins to mine with such device that use the same hash algorithm as Bitcoin,you can check on whattomine website or minerstat website,both give you a very good indicative approach to which coin is the best to mine.

However I would still suggest you Bitcoin because in the long term you can never go wrong with the king of all cryptocurrencies.

The thing is that we really don't know whether we should trust him in the first place, and for sure majority has regret their decisions to believed SBF in the beginning. But we can't do anything as FTX already collapses, he has a court case and potential for a jail time together with 2 others.

So that is very hard for investors to see in the beginning, trust is subjective, so it's up to us whether we are going to trust another person in crypto.

Or just learn from this mistakes to just used the old and reliable exchanges.

There shouldn't really be any need to trust anyone with Bitcoin really. That's the whole point of it.

Not sure why so many people are just sending their coins to companies and trusting them. In the end many people will lose a lot of money because of these companies.

History keeps repeating itself, and people don't seem to learn, ever. The same will continue to happen in the future.

I think that we are doing our part in the forum,I know the members who keep writing in Service Discussion part of the forum who post there usually are warning systematically to withdraw money from exchanges or third parties exactly for this reason,in Bitcoin you only trust yourself and you are your own bank who keep also the private keys to such bank and no one else can use them.

This I think will not stop history from repeating itself as there will still be persons sending their money to exchanges but I am sure the percentage of such people will diminish with the passing of time.

the truth is graham actually tried despite the job being at stake coaching is not an easy task at all...
Supporters of Chelsea football club are calling for him to be sacked, the current coach of Chelsea I mean, but I do not think that will happen knowing that the club is under new ownership, not the previous owner who may have easily answered to the call of the fans. This new owner cannot be the same as the former owner and is someone that looks to have a different approach to the business involved in the sports. I believe that he will give the current coach of Chelsea Graham Potter some time to fix the team even if they lose in their next game.

If results still do not come after the next couple of games it is only natural to sack Graham but I think that if Chelsea cannot achieve the objective of being in the top 4 teams they should give Graham time as he did not have enough time where we can see his touch,so they can leave him at managing Chelsea for up to the end of the next season,this I think would be the best for the Chelsea owners and high management team.

I think they are critically thinking on what to do with the situation going on and I think the next couple of games will be crucial to the decision they will take,either sack Graham or extend his contract and give him the belief he needs.
5020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Is The level of impact of FTX crash on Your portfolio? on: January 09, 2023, 10:24:25 AM
Every market situation always have a high impact on alternative cryptocurrencies more than Bitcoin, this is due to so many features that differentiate Bitcoin from altcoins.
Even though alternative cryptocurrencies are best for short-term speculation and not meant to be held for long due to their unstable market reactions.
So the question is.
1: What is the impact of FTX bankruptcy sega on your
    altcoin portfolio?
2: what is the level of your portfolio recovery because I am well aware that some coins have started recovering already,  but we can't be certain how long that recovery will last.

I was not impacted in the sense that I do not trade,I mine altcoins and the few I mine I choose altcoins who I think will not be for short term speculation but rather for long term profit.I explicitly mine ETHW,ETHF,RTM and ZIL as I believe these 4 to be some important ones for the next bull run.

Since I do not spend any money on these except electricity costs because my rigs have already paid themselves in 2021 I think the bankruptcy of a centralized exchange does not impact me that much except the price crash that it provoked soon after.
