Thanks for that clarification! I should have understood from the calculator that it was simply based on amount held not locked/unlocked. The locking simply adds interest to FUN itself, got it.


Yeah, I can't wait to be the lucky bastard one of these days. I've been a regular lottery ticket buyer since 2019 too. Just the 1 ticket every draw. It's a painful process to see how much I've spent so far, but it was a sort of redirection of money saved from a particular bad habit I used to have -- so not that I actually increased my expenses. Just want to one day see myself being that lucky bastard sniper Same as Golden Tickets. I always try to have just the 1 per draw.

Yeah, I guess I'm not seeing myself putting any money on this weekend after all. Am still considering some silly money bets, but I've been coming fairly close on several accas this week, not usual for me to get a few close calls in a row (and that was after a week of back to back acca hits). Superstition says I shouldn't ruin it by putting MMA into the mix.

Saw some noise about him actually agreeing this fight without signing (he's signed now). That's... uncharacteristic of a sport I'd say. Or maybe it's normal with MMA. Now the 2nd highest paid fighter behind McGregor. Let's see if he pays his value from the first bout.

On my last visit in 2019 to Central Asia, they were already about to begin some land trading routes on new trans-siberian highways and there were even some apps I saw that paid for toll with digital options, with even the ride sharing apps (everyone hitches rides there rather than Uber style taxi) popular in Kazakhstan were all denominated in ruble but could also accept wechat payments (RMB though I recall), this to me was a definite sign of China's plans for their digital yuan. If that ever qualifies as "crypto" (since tether does anyway) -- I understand digital yuan won't use blockchain, but there's conflicting reports on it and there already is a "Blockchain Service Network" in development -- with this legislation coming, it all begins to make more and more sense now, to me at least as a casual observer.

So, finally got credited all the freespins and this one did awfully. In the first 50 spins, won 0.3 mbtc, but after finishing 75 more spins I got only 0.16 mbtc, so grand total of 0.46 mbtc.

So at this rate my initial calculation of 10 gold medals won't be enough to break even. Austria and Germany are trumping Norway today. Coverage isn't so great here, but as I'm working can't really focus on the games.

I mentioned it in NFL thread btw, in case anyone wants early specials on Superbowl.

Quite a few pretty looking specials on Sportsbet for Superbowl LVI, and if you take a boost every day, you can up the odds and get some good value:

My thinking the best value bet here is 18/10++ on "Who does MVP thank first" market. Surely, his teammates, right?

Quarterback to win MVP... seems good value at 14/10++ . From history, 1 in 3 MVPs is a QB... What are WBs and RBs listed on ESPN as past winners? As the other betting options are wide receivers, running back fullbacks, and defensive players.

Villareal - Real Madrid
1. Match line - Away
2. Both to score - No
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 3 and under

Atalanta - Juventus
1. Match line - Away
2. Both to score - No
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 3 and under

Thanks for all the feedback, something I certainly couldn't have gathered to as much detail on my own without some serious work.

As I mentioned, I came to the same conclusion: 12.5k seems to be the most "effective" amount to get a reasonably good boost without too much in the bank. I'm close to the outlay needed, so I'll keep rolling and/or wait for price to decline a bit more, and I'll definitely put it for max holding. I suppose the interest on that should help offset the expected loss, and it definitely helps that all those extra free spins could hit something big.

Question about the additional interest -- I won't benefit as my entire sat balance will go to FUN if I choose this route. Do you retain the interest rate once the 12.5k hold expires?


It'll only be for the former purpose for me. I've never played the speculation game unless with airdropped coins (hold doesn't count yeah? haha) and from what I can see, for the time being, FUN needs more people to use it, so perhaps if more guys end up like me using it (to gain rewards), that's where the demand comes from. Could even suggest longer hold periods for those who really don't mind locking up for bigger rewards.

Harko: Yeah, OK, I know it's only his second game and first start but I'm already a fan of Diaz. I'm not going to put a mark on him or anything like that but he's already proving to be the robust machine we need in a team like Liverpool. He's won every brawl, even when fouled he stands right up, I haven't seen him really sniff at goal yet but his channeling squirms on the left, he's a worthy competitor for Mane on evidence of this match so far. Definitely has the right mindset at the very least!


Yeah, I thought so too, but I forced myself to not go to Superbru and change anything, I have the opposite of you, Arsenal ML on a low stake acca. I pray to see you 1000x tickets on ANN thread my friend!

Tightest of games as usual and I know I haven't been a fan of Traore recently but Wolves could find themselves without an outlet of possession at the very least -- Gunners ahead, but barely, though they seemed to have a bit more bite? Eyes at Anfield so not much aware.


Still hope to see Salah go on for second half and get more goals. We need to win every game like a statement and build a GD... I've a feeling it will be important later in the season.

Well, looks like your smartypants behaviour's put you in some serious contention for yellow cap (and top 5 cementing) casper! A lot of surprises, and bookies were very close anyway -- except for Villa, City, United and Liverpool, every team I see is within 2/1 to 3/1 odds -- so I'd say only market volumes were affecting bookie lines.

Our captain's been hitting the smooth spots too -- 81 points from exact scores! That's more than 1 game per matchweek, which is the precise average 4 or 5 of us have.

Wolves game will be the tight one to decide. I'm actually wondering if I should change my prediction...

Yeah I'm like Nasty -- we're all guilty of some overestimation, perhaps saved by the fact that it's balanced out more by the understimation from naysayers. Still far too many speculators and volatility to present a more serious feel as a reliable asset but for something that's barely been around in free markets for 10 years, I'd say a huge achievement.


If we're being honest, the former probably outnumber the latter by some distance.

It's high even in majority of the European Union, based on min wage values, so yeah, at face value, certainly doesn't seem unreasonable to tax such a high limit for the average Russian -- and if that's per exchange, nothing to stop people from using several exchanges to break amounts up.

Probably a fairer tax implementation than the vagueness of India's.

Thanks for the notify, my picks all locked in. Funny thing about Adesanya is I backed him plenty when he wasn't such the obvious favourite (and lost) but now the odds put him firmly as the likely winner, I wonder if it's worth now backing Whittaker just for the value? Or was Israel just too good for him?

Recognised some other names too in the list. UFC fighters finally rubbing itself off on me I guess.

1. Sheffield Utd - 1:3
2. QPR - 1:2
3. Draw - 1:1
4. Bournemouth - 0:2
5. Fulham - 0:2
6. Derby - 0:2
7. Cardiff - 0:1
8. Draw - 1:1
9. Preston - 1:2
10. Coventry - 1:2
11. Swansea -2:0

(this time I actually remembered to put picks haha)

Yeah I've been getting hurt a few times now by BTTS when picking seemingly "have to score" teams. I noticed Lucas Leiva was an unused sub, was almost tempted to do my occasional "to get a yellow" market. I was thinking of doubling down on BTTS on tonight's cup games but Atalanta currently cannot be trusted and you just never know what to expect from Sassuolo. Wasted Milan on my tickets too as Villa, also on my tickets, couldn't find a goal they needed.

Alert! New Bet-free-6-6 is up! I kind of miss it. 100k prize, surely it's not TOO difficult to win? Spurs will lose, City will win, Leicester will lose, just need to get the score right ha ha ha



Yeah, honestly sometimes I have no idea how I even remember to breathe. I mean, China in fact is clearly marked as China and I'm still thinking ROC of China, guess it's growing up in the 90s and seeing labels say ROC. No excuse though.

Speaking of, ROC now has the most medals, but Norway also caught up a lot today and stand equal at 11 medals. But Austria is the surprise package, they have 1 silver more than Norway and now have the most of any country (12).

Germany top the table though as they have 5 gold. Norway only has 4, so should get 50 more freespins, not credited yet so will update at another time

Should have watched that one too, but chose to see City-Brentford, when I couldn't find Villa game (but that one looks awesome too, Coutinho goal and two assists and Daniel James got a brace, almost forgot about him actually). Brentford has 2 good chances but City as usual score (penalty) despite not really getting dangerous on goal. Need Villa to build on that lead though, as got tickets looking safe elsewhere except there.

And exactly, Pukki forgot we asked him to lie down and stop scoring -- Palace blunt on the stats.

^^^Zlatan training makes me just disgusted with myself honestly...

^^ Hands up here, I've never heard of this Verdi till now. Thanks for the share. I've only known one ambidextrous person my entire life, let alone ambipedal. He said he started out as a leftie but society trained him to be a rightie but unlike others he just kept using both.


For me it's a matter of time I guess. I'm sure I could earn something from NFTs but my dad life is giving me all sorts of time management problems that I feel all I can afford to do physically is watch sports to relax -- everything else seems to require brainpower I no longer have at the end of the day. I'll take a look one of these days maybe though

FPL? I found it interesting but problem was discipline and forgetting to do transfers -- while keeping an eye on squad situations. Again a time thing sort of.

The only consolation I suppose I could have from this is I didn't bet ON Burnley -- would perhaps have been even more disappointing to get nothing out of a big 6/1 bet after coming so close.

I know they had 2 disallowed goals but both were pretty obvious fouls. Had de Gea not been alert, they'd have lost.

I'm backing City to lose tonight and it's a massive 26/1 bet for Brentford to take home all 3 points. It's such an unlikely outcome, of course, but I'd be happy to lose the bet to a draw.

Yeah, well, two bad bets in the end, up there. But we continue to have faith in City dropping points and to boost my dangerously low profit this season haha.

100 units at Fairlay on Brentford to WIN vs Man City @25.38. Other odds: 22.50
Units advantage: 282

Also, accidentally deducted 200 instead of 100 units in last post, so I make up for the 2 bets in this total.
