And of course Juve lost tonight. I blame myself for this result. I said multiple times that I will never again place ML bet on Serie A but I could not resist 1x Juve tonight. I was absolutely sure they are not loosing this one and of course it ended up as the only game I missed on 6x multi.

Too make things worse they were much better team in parts of the match I watched.

I cannot blame you, and the game reports somehow say that Inter was lucky to get all 3 points, this is the luck of football which I know so well repeatedly from my own team.

Hope at least you got the insurance back. Me I went only with a small bet on Spurs which I won (BTTS and Spurs win) 3.15x

But lost multi on BTTS on many Serie A games, quite a strange week I have to say, I was sure at least Valencia game should see goals as well as Inter-Juve, but many clean sheets.

Don't make a conclusion yet because simulated reality games are just starting.
And I believe, they can always get patrons for this type of game.
As many don't want to mingle with people in public, this game will get their niche in this gaming industry.
And also, just want to point out also that there are pros and cons of online casinos.
But people realize a lot of its benefits during this pandemic period, and some are still appreciating those benefits up until today.

I think the point is just that they are more like games than sports,,, that is all. Not to say that they have no place or that they cannot be taken seriously,,, the proof that millions watch and the players earn a lot shows that this is legitimate.

Maybe one day the definition of sports will evolve and Olympics will also be mental focused more than physical but for now, simulated reality is simulated reality and I would never call them sports Smiley

One day when I will bet on it then maybe I see it differently.

Accepted or not but this is football which is anything can be happens although i consider Juventus better but in fact Inter win the match but i think that was controversial penalty and i lost my bet eventually however i wish next match will not disappointing me between Milan and Bologna that all of Milan players in the good shape including Giroud and i think they will get 3 points from this match
This is the reality that happens that Inter Milan can really beat Juventus. It's not just you who suffered losses, many people experienced the same thing as a result of this match.
But for the AC Milan match, hopefully the prediction will not be wrong, that AC Milan will win this match. If I didn't eat this week I had 2 losses.  Grin Grin

It finally had to end,,, and yes, Juventus actually played better, and probably their best match in a long time, but they were lucky with points in previous games so I guess this is the balance that fate and luck must restore.

I also lost, but on a irregular bet of BTTS which I usually avoid but the day I pick it, it loses.

Such is the life of gamblers, losing when the odds look good and winning when it does not Wink

Take nothing away from Diego Simeone, the dude is a good manager who has enjoyed his own fair share of success, winning the spanish league title twice and also making it to two CL finals even though he sadly lost, i am not saying he is better than Guardiola, of course i do not think any manager is better than Pep, but diego Simeone is right up there amongst the best managers in the world.

Having said that, let us leave the coaches aside, Athletico Madrid also have quality players, maybe not as many as City, but they can definitely compete; i admire Simeone as a manager, but i do not fancy his defensive tactics especially in big games, he must understand that his team can likewise dominate a game, but they are only following his instructions to park the bus and hit on the counter attack. I am pretty sure it will be City doing all the attack in this game, and overall i believe City would be too strong for them, and they will win the game and progress.

Totally agreed. I think he knows what he's doing, getting into so many finals with the team he has and not to mention beating Real and Barcelona to the title last season, with the squad he has, that is not luck. That is tactics, and yes I hate his tactics but sometimes, as a neutral you can really appreciate what he does with the style his team has and the types of players they have.

We don't have to like him but we can admire him.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 04, 2022, 06:09:03 AM
Yes, it is indeed very difficult for Manchester United to be in fifth or fourth position this season in the Premier League standings, because after Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United were both able to win yesterday's match, Manchester United is already in seventh place. now which is increasingly difficult to achieve a better standings because you have to always win in all the remaining matches. Shocked

There is a big difference with fifth and fourth man,,, actually 9 whole points if Arsenal win their games in hand (I count them as the team to beat not Spurs because they will be 4th if they catch up games),,, so I would say yes, United difficult to get 4th but 5th is actually very possible, they are only 3 points behind Spurs. Fifth is a big difference however as that is Europa spot.

But I would say they have to improve their goal difference as it's really bad. Of course, we just added +4 last night so it was much closer before then!  Grin

the Bitcoin community if you look back are very involved in actual development and education, they spend weeks in close development, they do a lot of testing, and that is just the development side. On the user side they teach and educate, and actually use it. They spend a LOT of time on this, busy with actual utility, whereas altcoin communities are busy only on marketing and 'wen moon'. Smiley

Anyway, it takes all kinds to move the world I guess.
I do agree that altcoins are getting out of hand with this marketing rush type of deals. I mean it's clear to me that we are talking about something that is a bit more like a business instead of a crypto project. Coins and tokens should not act as a business, they are not a business and they should not focus on marketing their project. If you need to do marketing, then you are not a good project to begin with.

If you are good to begin with then you will not need to do marketing because people will see how good you are and will buy as much as possible. If you think you have a good coin/token and it is not high because it lacks marketing, then it is not a good one at all.

This. For sure. They are running a generic business, without an actual product or even service. Copypaste code is the most, and you see that there nowadays is not even a bother with whitepapers anymore, such is the clear focus on short term profit that developing ideas is no longer part of the equation and speculators,,, they specifically look for marketing.

Even in the channels you see whiners asking why there is no marketing or not enough big marketing. It is so totally crazy.

Anyway, happy with my exact score, and Torino seems comfortable enough, didn't do too well betting today, betbuilders and accas missing by a hair, but Serie A didn't really turn out badly (enter my jinx before final game is over, of course).

And it looks like much of the same today, favorites going to take all the points,,, now Napoli get the lead from a cool penalty after it looked like Atalanta was going to beat them down. Great saves, one counter, and Juan Musso got fooled to bring down Dries Mertens.

BTTS has to happen in this game if Atalanta keep playing like this! Anyone watching here? This is probably the only game I can watch even my own Spurs game is too late for me to watch unless I do not sleep tonight. Early shift tomorrow  Sad

The finances alone does not make a club have low morale because if they did,,, then they are a weak club anyway and do not deserve to play Smiley

One thing is the financial problems of the club (which the players may not even feel because their financial interaction with the club is in accordance with the contract), and another thing is the change of ownership, which can lead to a radical change in the policy of the club. In the second case, the future becomes very uncertain and this affects the players because they think about it. Professionals, of course, know how to abstract and do their job no matter what, but still, at least a little bit, it affects them.

I guess Chelsea will somehow blame their most recent bad result on this financial issues (or maybe less about finances but ownership right now). I saw some videos of empty stands outside the stadium where they cannot even buy fan merchandise now.

Professionals or not, I guess the team was affected,,, or was this just about all the style that they could not play with on Brentford? Anyway, time to find out soon I guess Smiley
590  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Uniswap: Tainted coins risk? on: April 01, 2022, 01:03:54 PM
You guys do know that Uniswap is on Ethereum and there is no such thing as coin taint there right?

You can only get taint from linking directly to bad addresses but unlike Bitcoin, you do not have inputs or coins that travel in a journey,,, Ethereum does not use input system, it just changed the balance on your address.

So no DEX will give you tainted coins unless the DEX contract itself is marked as a bad one.

I am going for Inter win, Juventus have the best form as already mentioned but they were so lucky with draws and slim wins,,, and yes that is their old style but I have a feeling Italy bad luck will also fall hard on Juventus, especially Chiellini,,, for some reason I always feel his mood determines the team mood.

Thanks Trofo again for the freebet challenge, I used up my luck already with last one getting 6/6 and lost the freebet  Grin

The most dangerous time to bet on teams, especially if talking about teams like Spurs,,, we managed to put the balance of equal wins/losses into just over with our last win but now everything is wiped clean.

Still I have them to multibet with 2 goal handicap because I feel this team will do either very badly or very great. Hope to see the very good side.

Football is back!

I disagree there about Bitcoin though, it has a really big community, just that they do not look like altcoin "communities" and this is the basis of what I mean in the first place! Altcoin 'communities' are just people staying in a channel so they do not miss airdrops or token announcements or bounties,,, things like that.

Bitcoin communities are many pockets of people who are not interested in markets alone but go out there and use it in the daily lives. Educators, developers, users, and buyers. BTC is not near $50k today because of tokenomics or bounties or marketing or 'community' events on Discord. But because of utility Smiley
The bitcoin community is a classy and financially capable person, they are not involved in channels or various token announcements, airdrops, etc., because they are not as busy as a regular community.

So far bitcoin has been a bit on the green track, this is a sign the recovery scheme is going well, although there is no certainty in the next pricing, and what I see this is the first bullish point to put them on a normal scheme going forward  Wink

Again I disagree,,,, the Bitcoin community if you look back are very involved in actual development and education, they spend weeks in close development, they do a lot of testing, and that is just the development side. On the user side they teach and educate, and actually use it. They spend a LOT of time on this, busy with actual utility, whereas altcoin communities are busy only on marketing and 'wen moon'.

They need to find a buyer, and I do not think that it would happen anytime soon neither. This results with them financially being bad, and this results with a horrible morale drop. Tuchel will try his best to keep the team working hard, but even he can't do that for too long.

The UK government will take care of them if they cannot find a buyer in the mean time. Everything is fast tracked but come on,,, no need to mention anymore about them being affected by this in terms of morale.

Do you think Derby players are playing better or worse because of their financial problems?

Or Barcelona? Maybe they were playing really bad at some point but this was because of a bad manager and losing all their players due to a bad board and bad mistakes. The finances alone does not make a club have low morale because if they did,,, then they are a weak club anyway and do not deserve to play Smiley
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: March 31, 2022, 06:34:17 AM
I hope it is Real City though, I prefer not to see another English final!
Real Madrid isn’t going to beat Chelsea, it is true that right now Chelsea FC has its off field problems but they are still far a better unit than this Madrid team. I actually think with Ancelotti, Madrid will not stand a chance against chelsea; Tuchel seems to be more dynamic in his approach compare to him and that is an advantage to Chelsea. I would gladly bet on anything for Chelsea's win.

The way you say this and I am sure the way a lot of people are saying it,,, I am 100% sure now it is a wise choice, in terms of value anyway  Grin

Now almost 4x for them to win, good luck you, show us a bet then if you are so glad Smiley

I don't mind seeing another English final, to be honest. But it would be something to watch Real Madrid achieve something great with this squad. Real Madrid knows how to play smart, and obviously, they have a lot of experience. I am sure that will come in handy against Chelsea. And to be honest they also need a little bit of luck, Just like in the match against PSG. For Real Madrid to be in the fine house everything needs to go in their favor.

Liverpool Spurs was a bad memory for me, I would rather not think about it and seeing another English final with them already playing in FA Cup and league is going to be so boring  Roll Eyes

Of course, it will arguably be the best matchup, but I personally think Bayern in the final is also a best outcome, but that is at expense of Liverpool, which I feel arguably is even better this season.
599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe it is to invest in cryptocurrency on: March 31, 2022, 05:21:33 AM
I think Ethereum is also among the alts the one with the most decentralization,,, and this comes from me a person who used to think it was not. To be fair, no coin can be decentralized from the beginning, and no coin can claim 100% decentralization but Bitcoin is the only one and with Ethereum catching up,,, that can be said to be in control of no single person.


Ethereum is not very decentralized. PoS will make it even less decentralized because then the richer you are, the more power over the network you have. In Bitcoin no one has more power over anyone else, no matter how rich you are. And most important thing is that Ethereum has Vitalik and co. running everything, no matter how decentralized it would be otherways. They can make decisions to affect the whole network. So it is a big red flag regarding decentralization.

One more thing is premine. Bitcoin had zero coins premined. Ethereum just gave millions at the start to their founders and their friends. Again, huge red flag.

I know all about the premine and all about the DAO,,, which is why I felt for many years Ethereum was actually just a total scam. I changed my mind and yes I agree PoS is worse for it and all that,,, but Ethereum to me is going in a direction of development that is less and less centralized.

Hence why they are always slow and delayed in updates. If they were centralized as before decisions would happen immediately.

My thoughts anyway Smiley

That is also questionable. Remember the DAO hack from 2016 when Vitalik & co decided to rollback the network in order to negate $50 million worth of exploit? By the way I am not saying that ETH is shitcoin, but in all things that really matter it can't compare to Bitcoin, especially if you look at it from the long term hold point of view.

The DAO event and all that was the main reason I was absolutely against Ethereum for so long, I have to go back to my history to see exactly which years or which time I became less against them.

I totally agree ETH cannot compare to Bitcoin, it is number 2 and far away from number 1. And honestly, number 3 is also very far away,,, I have no number 3 in mind.

Currently, the price of Bitcoin continues to show an increase and to be able to reach the previous ath maybe it's just a matter of time,
which is clear sooner or later will achieve that and for now we are following its development,
apart from that we must also remember that crypto conditions are difficult to predict

I love when people comment 'sooner or later' because duh sooner or later Wink

I think it is nice to see and feel the rally coming, but you know this could still very easily turn to dust as soon as panic sets in when an unexpected big sell off occurs,,, and then sooner or later can also apply to 40k and 30k and below.

Too early to think about ATH.
