The real courage of high rollers.  Only now have I seen such a huge single bet on a sportsbook.  Will he win the Northwestern Wildcats?  Or maybe the trend changes in the third and fourth quarters and the Pittsburg Panthers win.  Let's follow the scenes in live NCAA men's Basketball.
https://stake.com/?iid=sport%3A4969384&modal=bet&c=view

Pretty clean win in the end, don't think they were sweating too much.
Funny to see that people can bet 30000$ on a game while I can bet 10$ or less on the same league. And my account is only up like 10k on the site.
Very fair treatment I must say.
This diamond player is considered a high roller on stake. They were streaming their games late last year and had a following I would imagine, to gather referrals which worked for them, as I was one of theirs.
They took a break for a while since their "Road to a million" campaign quickly died within a few weeks and they disappeared from the site for months. Just recently I had seen their name pop up on the daily race leaderboard so they were still active on there within the past couple of weeks. I would also imagine due to the lambo raffle being their main focus now.
On their livestreams they were betting 1.8 btc (which was around $30,000 back then) per sports bet so this is the usual amount of their wagers on stake.

Wasn't it strange how the soccer associations are trying to fight against racism and here you have a 4th referee who is representing that very same associating league do this? Undecided
Atleast in the EPL you see the players all taking the knee in helping to fight against racism.
Don't think the league in romania does any such thing from where this referee was from.

There will be always some exceptions. The association cannot control the sayings of a referee in a game.
What the association can do right now is to take some measures and avoid this racism attack happen again in the future. The 4th referee should be banned and fined hard.
On the match part, I believe that PSG is going to take the win as this will help them capture the 1st position in the group stage and face an easier opponent in the next stage.
But they are in control of the conduct their referees are to be using while on the pitch. Well simply because they are hired to do their job and not joke around acting like they are in the street with their pub friends. This language should not be tolerated one bit because since there were no crowds anybody can hear anything that is said.
And from what the video clips show and can be heard they are saying it in their foreign language which all referee's are to speak english during the matches so no misunderstanding is to happen, like it had with this match.

I jumped in the tail end of the stream while it was still in progress but the results of their test was what really interested me and not the gaming performance of these cards. Smiley

This guy who waited in the cold overnight was offered a 3090 in a trade for their 6900xt.
I was sort of surprised for a $500 more in the price difference they didn't take the offer.

just the normal 65 the 83MH was a bug he couldnt replicate.
You're thinking of the 6800xt, the 6900xt does 87 stock. look at my previous post.

You have to be some kind of stupid to think a 6900xt is doing 87stock.  As I said before it was a bug he couldnt replicate.
During the livestream done last night having the two 6900xt in the see thru case on the test bench, he mentions amd drivers are causing issues with the mining and it is not stable at these numbers given for any amount of time.
Sound familiar from the previous gen cards a year ago? Gamers complaining their 5700xt would give a black screen in the middle of game play. Multiple driver updates later, amd had finally fixed the problem and so the 5700 line of cards were stable enough to game on thus stable enough to mine with going full boar 24/7.

Side note, he says if these cards were to work at a good 80-90 mh/s then they would with some amount of 'trickery' involved possibly with the infinity cache or whatever it is causing the dual streams.
He stated he will eventually have it running on a pool and provide the mining pool address so everyone will be able to follow it's progress for themselves once it is stable enough to do so.

@tomahawk9
According to the bet I had placed on this match, when I asked support they stated bet would be active only if the match is not completed within 48 hours then it would considered null thus voided.
But since they are going to be playing today within the 48 hours the bet's result will be graded once it has completed.
5228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: December 08, 2020, 10:20:01 PM

Still no report that the psg abandoned match will get resumed , it is been an hour, no updates.

Edit : the match will be resumed tomorrow 18.55 , source tancredi palmeri bein sports
At half time this is what was shown on the scoreboard at the time of the match being interrupted with no clear explanation of what was going to happen next:

It was shown as suspended but I guess they decided to resume it at a later date until everything was sorted out first.
From what I understood is if the Başakşehir match didn't get resumed then Manchester Utd would still be able to stay in only if they beat Paris St.Germain. Embarrassed
5229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: December 08, 2020, 09:13:02 PM
Paris Saint-Germain - Başakşehir game is stopped.
4th referee said something racist to Webo and players reacted that. Both teams went to locker room and match is stopped.
Now officials decided that the match will be continued, I think that referees career is over now.

Demba Ba had the biggest reaction. You can see here: https://twitter.com/OG_umaru/status/1336411353511243785
Yes I was watching the game while it all was transpiring.

Stopped in the 14' minute and all players walked into their respective  dressing rooms. Due to a romanian 4th official using a racial slur towards the paris player getting booked. All those officials will get sacked for sure. Roll Eyes
But just in the last few minutes they are saying it might resume.
Still not confirmed.
PSG must of looked at the table and see they are in third place in their division the way the other games are going. Cheesy

Pogba is not suitable for the playing style of EPL since he is not "simple."
Agree, I think Serie A or La Liga would be best for him. My hunch says Juve.

Meanwhile, this is what a world-class midfielder looks like.  Grin
Pogba is not really suitable for playing in EPL. Despite being such a talented player, he is not able to perform as expected in the EPL. This is because EPL's game strategy is different from all other leagues. If Pogba plays in Barcelona, maybe he will be able to perform better than now.
If Barcelona offers him a joint deal there with only having Messi decide to stay with the club. Since the captain was absent for a few of their games last week in Uefa and La Liga matches, there was some speculation he is tired and just wants to play with a club worth winning a cup along side with looking ahead such as manchester city for next season.

This might be the entire reason why stake is starting to kyc their players. Because of people selling their accounts.
Wouldnt make much sense in doing this since their raffle giveaway is less than 4 days away. So why would they be giving up their chances to winning the lambo.. well the amount of bitcoin given out for it as of now.
5233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any results for RX 6900 XT ? on: December 08, 2020, 03:07:20 PM
As said above, it looks like the 6800xt are identical to the 6900xt except it is a higher binned silicon so it will overclock more stable than the prior release version.
The number of compute units should offer more hashrate but only by fine margins. Much like the 570 vs 580 it all depends on your overclocks used to gain 1-1.5Mh/s more.
5234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Navi 21 next generation of rdna better to mine than current navi cards? on: December 08, 2020, 02:01:29 PM
There is such limited supply of the 3090 cards and having over $30,000 worth on skids of these cards being stolen of msi stock, don't expect more anytime in the near future being available at your local retailers:
https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-rtx-3090-stock-stolen-msi

The launch of the 6900xt is today and a retailers in switzerland is stating they will have 35 of these cards on hand to sell publicaly.
So these will be the unicorns of the gpu hunt with the latest release of their top-tier cards by both nvidia and amd?

Have any chance for except list member above for joining with prediction? I always active on gambling football prediction and become my activities on weekend watching football and know about which one correct prediction beside I am football fans. I see there are not submit for to be in this tread part and not the same like TROFO tread where have prediction about football and get reward based on how many correct prediction football match, I hope could become this part and make prediction each week.
I can't see any rhyme of reason why you wouldn't be able to join in. Just ask tyk in a pm if he wouldn't mind adding you to the list of participates. You have posted here a few times and have a genuine involvement for posting about the matches.
That would get a thumbs up by me and I don't think anyone here would oppose.

Have any chance for except list member above for joining with prediction?
Which one? The above's post by Tyki is hosted by himself so he made the rules. The extra 100 mbtc weekly for another 2 more weeks is hosted by sportsbet to everyone that made contribution on this thread. I'd say because we let Jeremypwr, LFC_bitcoin and probably some other guy in for the 2nd week after they posted their MM on the 1st week perhaps you could be getting in on the 3rd week provided if you post your MM pick on this thread this week (?)
Im not the boss so Im not sure though, consensus must be reached or atleast someone said something more reasonable about this  Cheesy
Yes, Tyk can add or disallow anyone he wants in the above table.
He is having the prize come out of their own pool and not the one sportsbet is providing.
Jeremypwr and LFC_bitcoin were added in because they are generally nice people and I have positive experiences with them in the past and if there were any opposition in allowing them in, they could bring it up with either me or sportsbet.io's representative account here on the forums that being steve. But since they have me moderating this thread (officially since they came to me and offered it to me) I have the decision and can discuss with tyk and those who are offering their service for contributing to this venture. I am saying offered because they were not asked to do any organization of the table every week. But generally enjoys doing it for the good karma that goes along with it.

5237  Other / Off-topic / Re: Zlatan Ibrahimovic sueing EA due to using his image on FIFA21 on: December 06, 2020, 11:23:19 PM
This is interesting.
Probably similar to movie producers  using the "likeness" of real people for the movies. I wonder if that is copyrighted or whether they need permission from their owners to do so. Well, for certain reasons, I don't think I will allow people to do thesame thing with my "likeness" without my permission.
Hopefully, the player is doing that for good/moral reason rather than for money.
What do you mean? Deep fake just like there are some videos of actors who died and they are using their likeness to recreate some scenes from?
I doubt the studio who have done it paid the estate of these actors, living or dead, to use their likeness.
There is some kind of clause in their contracts and they just have their agents take care of the legalities of cases if they arise.

Anyway, if compulsive gambling ever becomes a big problem on this site I'd say they should look into adding a Block button of some sort so players can self-exclude themselves. Links to BeGambleAware can only do so much to help.

Oh yeah, I remembered I self excluded for one week on stake after losing much.  Grin and I tell you, it really helps to refresh ourselves and our mind. Sometimes we needed some space towards gambling to manage our addiction.

I also wonder, what will be the perks of being a verified user in stake? My friends are convincing me to submit my KYC there.

Anyway, so excited with the Lambo raffle!  Few more days before that evenr. Cheers!
Lambo raffle is less than a week away.
Last time I checked it showed 6 days for the countdown within the giveaway tab on my stake account.
Just too bad there isn't really a lambo involved but still just saying that while bitcoin price is pumping is nice in comparison for the bitcoin you are going to receive equivalent to the prize.
There was some issues with those in the UK as mentioned on the weekend's megarace stream.
Don't know exactly what this is about but I guess it has to do with the licensing of the casino games.
5239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: December 06, 2020, 11:09:40 PM
damn i missed out by one pick on a decent prize, really sucks Sad
Too bad dude, maybe next time!  Sad Wink

Van******a (whoever that is) appears to be the winner with 12 correct picks which means notblox1, leea-1334 and you are just short, imagine if all three have won at the same time?

notblox1, leea-1334, and tyKiwanuka deserve to split the internal pool reward equally, all three have 11 correct predictions, well done!
Agreed! Wink

Jeremypwr should get some extra fame points on his first crack at the multimasters. I thought he would of made it up there with the top 3.
But then again:
There is that beginner's luck! Cheesy

The only thing Trump can do is a coup or starting some kind of civil war. If that happens (I mean a violent coup, because what he's doing is already akin to a coup, for some), then we'll have to worry about more important stuff than bets on websites, and these websites are likely to all go bankrupt along with half the US companies...
Just to be able to stay as president? Sounds like what a country with social instability would do. Something along the lines of a Castro or Noreaga. Sad
He does still have the rioting happening in several states to fall back on if this coup or civil war doesn't transpire for him.

There was a rally he held yesterday in Georgia where there was a big screen showing his so called evidence of the democrats flushing his ballots down the toilet.
So this was the evidence he was going to bring to the courts in overturning the polls? Undecided
Very weak substance for any judge not to throw out of court just on the basis of having the audacity of even trying.
