Agreed.
It does incentivize those who are hesitant to post their picks pre-match to do it so they can join in the fun of watching the table!
Will be posting mine so I can put in my predictions for this weeks multimaster up because I do not believe in superstitious causes for my betslip to lose.

Thanks big_daddy! Would give send you a merit but just ran out of them, so next time!

Yeah buwaytress, this is what I expected from this season as well.
That is why I picked high scores for some if not all the matches of the teams first games because they are going to start strong then usually slow it down so to keep their stride up during the rest of the season.
Atleast this is what I was hoping would happen.

Same!
I think the time has come to say goodbye to your 4gb cards mining for ethereum.
Noticed my rig turning off for no reason with it running stable for the past 2 months non-stop.

MSI gaming is having a livestream of the 3080 specs and it has been running for about an hour now so should be over soon.

The AIB cards are being advertised by almost all gaming youtuber from here to timbuktu over the past 12 hours.

I'll just wait til the AMD cards start rolling out(sooner than later now!) since they have showed some leaks of what the cards will look like so to compete with these rtx3000 series cards from Nvidia.

Wow indeed!
So will they be getting the BTC logo on the airband area just like the other teams in the sponsorship deals?
Where will the sportsbet.io logo appear since they already have the front area occupied with emirates.

Yes I have and received it so thanks to you, steve and sportsbet.io for a good start in the round of 38. Unless the season will be cut short of the 38 games played for some odd reason or another.

Looking forward to the next one just a day away. Have already put in my picks early a few days ago just to get a head start of the group.

There is a service I just heard about https://www.cardcash.com
They are new so never tested them out so be wary.
Also worth mentioning they are more targeted towards people who are in the united states, so this might be a problem for you if you aren't.

Thanks everyone for the congratulatory messages, It was all beginners luck really!
So my question is how many yellow caps do you need to really make a dent in the prize pool?

As I didn't know you receive one for reaching 1st every week and remember someone saying (I think it was bitcoingirl) who mentioned we needed 18 games correctly predicted to have a hat donned on you.
But this is great to know so to make a better effort in the predictions for next week's round.

As for the score sites: I like sofascore because they show player prop points live during a match, so this feature is an added bonus for those who have certain players in their pools.
I've used flashscore but their interface makes it difficult to find things at times. Haven't tried their app so can't comment one that aspect of the site.
Haven't tried livescore and might check them out to see if I like them better than sofascore.
Thanks mole0815!

After getting use to the app I noticed these two issues I had when I first downloaded the addition and can be resolved rather easily:
The app icon can be placed on the phone main screen by just finding where it was installed in the search apps list.
Once found can be dragged as a copy to the main screen. Not a big deal.
To get to the vip status rewards page you just need to click on your balance under your username and at the top of the screen it will show your current clubhouse tier and by clicking on the Show my progress arrow will display your rewards page.

Just need to do some searching around for these features but they are there within the app.

If Chelsea ends with a 3-1 score then this would give me a close result with 1.5 pts.
So I will end week 1 with 11.5 score on the leaderboard.
Stevebitcointalk was on a roll at the end and was catching up fast on the leaders in the top 5 fast.

He managed to get upto 2nd place in no time

I got my yellow cap!

Whomever had Wolves to score over 2 goals had their dreams come true within the first 10 minutes of the game.
They lead 2-0 already!

It will be very tough for Sheffield to score in this game. But I have them 2 goals so I hope so.

^^
I am imagining the same scenario the way this is going to play out for this generation of cards being released by each manufacturer of their camps.
With Radeon VII(since discounted) having the HBM memory they will need to pony up the next evolution of this chipset to even compare to the ampere at this point.

Just checked the tech spec sheet on navi 21 the next amd iteration of their rx6000 lineup and it states it will have 12gb of ram onboard.
Yet this leak has 16gb labelled on the card itself. So this might be the testing for the next navi they could be releasing after 3090rtx is dropped after September 24th potential release date?
Or could be just like what nvidia is doing with the 3000 line releasing 3080 with 10gb and 3090 24gb.

The US courts did declare it a form of money in Washington back at the end of June of this year.
So to the states it is a seen as a real currency thus this is why there is strict regulation for any business to obtain a license for trading or anything to do with bitcoin & cryptocurrency. There was a whole documentary about it two years ago about this very thing.

This is a good color coded map showing which countries view bitcoin legal to use in their respective regions.

Excellent video released today regarding the different tiers of AIB involved with graphic card processing.
Also a leaked pic from a chinese tester of Navi 21 with a potential 16gb of gddr6 ram onboard.

Now I am beginning to have my doubts this release by AMD sometime in October will contend with rtx3090 from Nvidia being released later in the month.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY saw Leeds scoring 3 goals let alone almost setting up a draw only if Salah didn't score that penalty thus allowing him to complete his hat trick.
So we going to call him Mo-Pensalah for the rest of the season?

Just checked the leaderboard,
I missed watching this game due to some technical issues I had with a small project of mine being the weekend and all.

Was surprised to see I'm on top of the leaderboard after day one.
If Liverpool had just kept to the script and kept the scoreline 3-1 (I tuned in when it was 3-2) I would of been over the moon with today's result after my first time participating in the EPL pool hosted by Sportbet.io.
Thanks goes to them and hilariousandco for messaging me when it started.

Bring on tomorrow's matches!

Southampton just about a draw with Ings right infront of the box but the Crystal Palace's goalkeeper had a game saving deflection at the 6 minute mark into injury time.
They deserved the 3 pts this day.
Wilfred Zaha scored the only goal and almost put it away with 15 mins left to play but it was ruled offside.
There goes my saintly offer bet on Southampton to draw.

I see okay thanks for the little bit of info on how to get it.
Once our picks are locked we can't change it before the match starts?

Looks like I got the first one of the season spot on!

Does this qualify to get a yellow cap? Beginner's luck in the pool for me.

With this being Gabriel's first appearance on the team and it was a good start for him and Willan as well.

^^Are you sure they will be trading Deeney to west brom?
He is the captain and they rarely have any team trade those type of players unless they are doing a reorganization of the entire squad.

They released a sportsbet.io app just before the match started and I downloaded it and it is quick and easy to use.
But two problems with it:
-It didn't put an icon on the phone screen after the download so to just click on it to start the app.
-The vip tier system is missing from the app when you login so you don't know how your progress is going.

I just reached gold tier level 2 and received my reward just before the game started and didn't see it available until I opened the site on my desktop instead of the app.
