Bookmaker continue to favorite manchester city for the winner of premier league, later have arsenal but the odd is 3.8.
the 4th favourite is Chelsea at odd 20  Grin

Decent odds considering how much they can dominate if they go on a winning run. City, Arsenal and United all a little flakey and can fade off if things aren't going well.

Nothing wrong with vegan food as a side-dish for a nice chunk of meat Smiley. A bit more seriously, we are designed to be omnivores. That "omni" thingy includes meat and fat as well. BTW the first and last fully vegan humanoids, the Paranthropus robustus chewed nuts, roots and bulbs and got extinct eventually, while their scavenging cousins the Australopithecus africanus happily turned to our progenitors.

I've seen this chart below been passed around vegan circles saying that we aren't omnivores, any thoughts on the chart since you seem to know some stuff on the matter:



Lots of vegans will try and push this argument, that humans are not technically omnivores. It's complicated, but we know that humans have eaten meat for at least 10,000 years (probably much longer) and our physiology points towards us being omnivorous. It seems silly to say we're not omnivorous, because we can digest vegetables and meat (we have the enzymes present in our gut to break down meat). Just because we don't need meat, doesn't mean we are herbivores/frugivores.

Anyway, I've never thought this argument mattered much, because we know that you CAN survive as a vegan (albeit with a little difficulty). And most intelligent vegans will use another, more compelling argument - The reason, they say, that we shouldn't eat meat is because we know that we don't need it, and we also know that animals are suffering as a result of our meat-eating.

Now personally I think most vegans are shooting themselves in the foot when they try and recruit others, by saying that killing animals is morally wrong. This is because most people won't make such a drastic change to their diet (like many people, I love meat too much to give it up).

What they should be doing, is getting people to eat free-range, outdoor reared animals rather than cheap shitty battery animals. This way, everyone wins - The animals don't suffer and have a happy life, the farmers get paid more, and the consumer gets tastier, healthier meat. If every vegan did this instead of trying to guilt trip everyone into giving up meat, there would be more happy animals in the world.

I guess the vegans would argue that the animal still gets killed at some point in their life even if free range against their will.  Probably in a period of being in their prime also.  Just saying.  Agree on some of the points for sure.

Currently im mostly a pescetarian fwiw but had a chicken burger a month ago  Grin


So the overall feeling here is that the chart is total horsecrap?

What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?

Do you have concerns about animal abuse by eating meat or using animal products?

Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?

Seems like surely betting one time is the best way to go to limit your house edge exposure the most.  Did anyone come up with a better solution during this whole thread?

Chelsea in top4? LOL. Chelsea can't be in top8 this season if they don't fire Mourinho.

1-Arsenal
2-City
3-ManU
4-West Ham
5-Leicester
6-Tottenham
7-Everton
8-Southampton

In fact, Chelsea can't even be in top10.

Chelsea are 7 points off 4th & there are 30 games left to play. You are an idiot if you write a Mourinho team off in October, the season ends in May. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

No way in a million year Chelsea dont make top 4 for champions league, they'll just buy a whole new team in january if they are off the pace.

If there is liquid water in Mars it will certainly have micro-organisms as well! Wired already published an article about the recent announcement.

Life can manifest in the most unlikely environments on earth so pretty sure there is probably many examples of life just in our solar system.

The problem is OP that people/groups/the herd have great power over others and can get you to do things you may or may not agree with.  You are battling for liberty of yourself and others.  We are in one giant super farm and the resource being farmed is the human consciousness which is a very valuable asset.
573  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you agree people barrow money for gambling? on: October 04, 2015, 02:09:50 PM
I think many of the gamblers even when they don't have money for gambling but they barrow money for gambling. Do you agree on this?





No its bad enough in the first place if they happen to lose large sums but then to rope other people in is not good.  If someone is staking you for a +ev game like poker for a serious attempt at making money then it can be good to get/give a loan.
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 04, 2015, 02:07:32 PM
Everton vs Liverpool i have my bet on this match for over 2.5 goals, i think Liverpool will win this match or ended with draw but i hope there will be 3 or more goals scored into this.

I doubt liverpool will win , it is a safe bet if over 2.5 goals

Haven't check out if they kicked off yet, i'll go for 3-2 to everton.  Like you say there is always goals in these derby games in recent times, +2.5 a good idea.
575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 04, 2015, 11:55:30 AM

Who bet on southampton beating chelsea? my god what a one sided game, never seen chelsea this bad in 10 years.  Still think they'll easily turn things around for a top 4 finish.

using 999dice.
OP really picks the best place to bet his money uh?
wasn't that site with  very less trust in this forum?

It is a shame even if he had all the luck in the world and spent 1000's of hours building the bankroll upto anything close to his 1000bitcoin what do we think the chances are that he would actually get paid, minuscule at best. Forget the gambling will make you wealthy (ish) and work hard in real life buying the amount of bitcoin you realisticly settle on.

I would hope he would withdraw during going on a run like that, if the sites learnt anything from hufflepuff its to pull the plug when someone is up over 1k bitcoins as cheating is likely.

Sevilla vs Barcelona what you think about today match is Sevilla can win this match from Bracelona?
i have my bet on Sevilla @4.18 odds because i have some good feelings for it and i hope that will be more interesting to place money on Sevilla Wink

Great time to bet against barca with messi out, problem is if the market has over valued messi, in which case better to stick with barca hmmmm.

What You Guys call For  Chelsea v Southampton , Over 1.5 , is it a sure shot or there is Doubt in this also?

Chelsea win is a good idea, even when they play rubbish like they did vs newcastle they still looked extremely dangerous in the spells of posession in 2nd half.  Something will click with them soon.
579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 03, 2015, 12:11:36 PM

If newcasltle get something at man city i'd be vey surprised.  Going for 3-0 to city.

regards.
