I do not bet often on politics, I majorly follow that of my country, Nigeria and other African Nations. Corruption is prevalent in most of the electioneering processes, and the best bet is rarely the best fit for the position.
I also find it morally wrong to canvass for a certain candidate and bet on another, so I'd sit it out.

This is not entirely true the mods have a lot of work on their hands with the amount of spam on the forum right now, and do not really need to offer a detailed explanation specific to every deleted post.


Off topic is the most common reason for deleted posts, but as stated there could be other reasons.

And do not use the same or similar email and password when opening different accounts on different websites even after making your research, sites could be hacked and you would not want your entire online activity compromised. If possible have records of all your log in details on different accounts, especially if you're into cryptocurrency and could be using different exchanges at the same time.

Also, Have you most frequently visited sites bookmarked.

The website already recorded you register and log in credentials, and if the owners are dubious, they already have access to that information. You should be more interested I'm protecting you accounts on other sites which shares similar password and email (or a combination of any)
To your earlier question about the password reset link, I would advice you do not click on it as, it does not offer any level of protection.

From recent tweets the account @Bitcoin is no doubt pro Bitcoin and a little bit anti BCH.
Regardless of previous situations I would hope the current handler keeps a level head, and connects with Bitcoin enthusiasts on Twitter, from all over the world, relating it to their government policies and economies.
Social media would be a very efficient tool in pushing the Bitcoin agenda, if handled properly.

It makes sense to allow people freely do whatever they want as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. In a way, it is a littlesimilar to the situation of cryptocurrency in many countries where governments outrightly ban or regulate it's use, tagging it a high risk venture.
They are sort of saying, let us do the thinking for the rest of you and are trying to protect their citizens from themselves.
Or maybe in those countries gambling is synonymous with some other activity which may be illegal.

I am against using merits as a punitive measure to curb spam rather than as an incentive to encourage quality posting, which it was originally designed for.
In my opinion it would be an overkill and would stimulate merit sales and bring about a cat race where members are forced to earn merit from other members. Regardless of their reasons for being on the forum.

Griezmann has a too much quality to be a back up striker. He would have to be featured regularly one way or the other. Valverde has shown interest in 4-4-2 formation, and Griezmann can function behind a centre forward.
Dembele's injury is a big blow, as he is really the only first team player who can use both feets available now in the attack. Barcelona would have a hard time filling up the left flank of the attack.

Actually, you can, consistency is what counts. We saw that in 2013/14 when they won the league for the first time and also when Leicester won the EPL in 2015/16. Scratching out important points and having a very solid defence, and of course you need the variety in one excellent attacking player to finish the chances which they do create.

Barcelona are in dire need of a left back to compete with Jordi Alba for his spot and also give him a bit of rest during the season. Except they are lining up a bid for an experienced left back, I don't see any need for such a deal.
I wouldn't say no to Mandzukic tho, he has experience and the team needs a back up striker.

I have not bet on one, but i have been involved in one as a contestant. From my little experience (as it was a contest within my locality). The most important thing is your carriage and personality.
Then your overall looks; height, face, outfit etcetera.
Then how much you can win the crowd over: your popularity. In a local competition most people might not really know you till that night. But in. A global one with different stages you can easily look up the contestants.

I hope this would help you in chosing your bets.

The problem is from the board. Bartemou is trying hard to take the pressure of himself by investing in big money transfers and hoping it comes with successes. He doesn't want to take a gamble with youth.
Ernesto Valverde is also not the right coach to take Barcelona back to the top. He was renowed for building young talents in Athletic Bilbao, but we've seen none of that affect Barcelona nor good, quality football.

Just voted on the poll and viewed the current result, it's surprising no one has voted for Atletico Madrid to win the league title this season, while Sevilla and Valencia has gotten picked (most likely by club fans).
I think Atletico do stand a very big chance this season to challenge for the title and make the race exciting.
Barcelona of course leads the poll, and after eight league titles in eleven years you would expect so.

That is a notification bot for when your name is added to a post or reply and not when your post/reply is quoted. The only way to do that now is to revisit the thread or be notified of any new post


This would create an inbalance making it difficult for lower ranked members to get publicity for their post, so if for example, they wanted to notify others about a potential scam, their post would be buried below other posts even as soon as it is posted. I do not think this would be helpful in any way.

I don't think it's much of a surprise, FC Bayern are a team seeking to rediscover themselves and Countinho as you pointed out it a very quality player, who can play between spaces.
It's very likely he would be sold after his loan spell expires and 120 million euros is a very good deal for Barcelona. In addition to the 8.5 million already paid for the loan deal.
He should surely be a better fit there, than at Catalonia.

This is an old comment from theymos, but it could be useful in your research.


The limitation applies to the forum inbuilt search engine and not the Google search option.

Everyone is still in the learning phase and the industry is constantly evolving, so there's no shame in not being knowledgeable on specific topics.
This forum is a great learning tool and it's a gradual process. Always be on the growth path, stay relevant when posting, read up as much as possible.


It would be giving spammers more boards to work with. And would increase the workload on moderators.
Admins do not want to take any extreme measures to reduce spam, so for now just report those irrelevant posts.

The likely reason why you consider it a loss is cause you were paid in bitcoins and not fiat. You were paid $6000 for the job (in bitcoins). It's not yet an investment until you consider it so.
A lot of people had the ability to buy at that time and make profit, but didn't, cause they did not know of bitcoins, were not interested or did not have spare funds. The latter is your case.
Only invest amounts you do not need at the time, and can afford to lose

Except in extreme and obvious cases of abuse like when an account gets hacked and the new person behind the account distributes merits to alts or sells them out.
Besides that, it's pretty anyone's game. Theymos once discussed it, and concluded that; it's not much of an issue, except they're merit sources where it'd be looked into. In regular cases, they are going to run out of smerits eventually.

In looking for a source of income one should be more interested in stability and job security. Which you cannot get here on the forum.
Yes, a lot of people profit from trading, but a lot more don't. It takes practice, mentorship and also capital to get you started up. As much as possible diversify your sources of income, but do not get heavily dependent on any source that doesn't offer much security.
