My single bet on the Falcons to cover looks very good right now and my parlay bet is also looking good. The Falcons have been unstoppable in this game and look to come away with a big win. I just need the Cowboys to hold as that looks to be the one that might go down to the wire.

Nice one man.  I had carolina in this one and they completely bit it today.  Looks like allen is coming back down to earth.  Falcons are always rough to bet on or against.  They either look like a playoff team or one of the worst teams in the league.  Now I know better for the rest of the year  Cheesy

Motty what do you mean?  If left alone the plug will be pulled on the explorer.  Is there funding going towards to to keep it open or is there another explorer being built?  Without a proper explorer can really see what's going on. 

The most reliable explorer is Fujicoin's official explorer.

Understood and that makes sense that the official one is the most trusted.  Will start using that one for now on.  As far as the new core update what are the major changes that have been implemented?  Glad to see you still keeping up with the wallet, most devs dont.  Makes it super easy to migrate changes bitcoin makes into the wallet.

I am again impressed with the performance that Antetokoumpo displayed in the game against Bulls.
38 points with 16 rebounds he is again the MVP for Buck this season for sure. If he keeps scoring like that he will be surely the MVP of regular season and why not this time in the play offs as well.

Agreed dude is a man among boys sometimes out on the court.  When he is playing it's easy to see he is pretty much the best one on the court almost every game.  I difinately think if everyone stays healthy the bucks come out of the east.  Now matched up against one of the west powerhouses, that will be a good finals.

The Bucks is still an immature team compared to more veteran team, they will most likely choke during playoffs or even in a crucial matches. I think they will reach the finals only if they can acquire veteran players who can lead them during clutch times.

They have veterans on their team for sure.  And then they have Giannis who can take over games by himself.  I say the bucks make it out of the east.  Denver makes it out of the west.  Making for a bucks vs nuggets final.  I know most wont agree with me but these 2 team dominate the game when they want to

Even MJ disagree's with it, therefore this load management has to be reviewed by the NBA as it might affect the reputation of the business and the sales might go down, you know what saying. Grin

Leonard sits in many games during his tenure with the Raptors, but there was no criticism on that, maybe people just got tired of seeing it because Leonard is more visible now since he has become a superstar in the NBA and no doubt about that.

This rules has to be reviewed, that's my say.

So what the nba will make a list of players that have to play a certain amount of minutes every night.  There are some bench players that dont play at all.  So there will actually be a list with players names, and a required minutes per game on this supposed list.  It will NEVER happen sorry.  Baseball gives star players rest.  We talking about baseball non contact sport.  NBA is a tough game and takes a lot out of you.  Whether you like it or not sitting a player will never become illegal in the sport.

Best play of the game!
That fight I think was the best thing that happened for the Steelers since they'll be hosting the Browns in the next couple of weeks. Those physical exchanges were so unexpected, I thought the match would end smoothly and they'll just let the clock run then that happened. I wonder what they've said down there for a fight to quickly escalate in the last few seconds of the match. I also think he'll be out for the whole season since there's only a month and a half left.

It looked like that was the only play where someone actually was trying to do something on the football field involving effort  Cheesy. I think these teams showed exactly what they are tonight average middle of the road teams.  Neither of the 2 are going to manage to do anything if one happens to sneak into the playoffs.  Baltimore is the team in the north, the rest are just jockeying for draft position this year.  Glad Cleveland came through in this game though Smiley

Wow man thats a hate forum here. It´s possible to use escrow service like www.escrow.com or similar and if  you are not from Europe why at least are you texting, might be a lot of europeans here able to pick it up no?

Price of S17 2400€ and S17Pro 2800€

So maybe any Europeans here interested, I will load them also on www.ebay.de, www.ebay.com and on www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de



If you've been here long enough you know why the "hate is real".  Scammers are all over the place.  It's a real simple process.  Take pics of what you are selling with something showing your name and today's date next to it.  And offer to use a trusted escrow agent here on this site.  Ez pz anything different and you will be called out as a scammer like it or not.  That's how business is done here, it works flawlessly that way.  Otherwise take it to ebay and risk getting chargebacks, ebay fees and all that good stuff.  Welcome to this forum.  Wink

Tonight's game is tough but I have voted for the Steelers in the poll but for betting I have taken them to cover the +3, I would prefer the line to be at +3.5 as I think the sportsbooks have it spot on with the margin being a field goal. I know last week I had the Browns to win as I was the only one here who picked them but tonight I am going against them. Good luck!

Going from 2.5 to 3 to 3.5 is a huge difference.  They know exactly what they are doing and can see this being one of those 17-14 games.  I'm on the browns but if it was at 3.5 I probably would lean towards Pittsburg.  I cant see either team running away with this and will give clevland the edge being that they are home and on a short week.
5911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: November 14, 2019, 10:09:37 PM
Well said mate. There's a reason why load management is becoming a thing right now.

In the first place, it should not.

These players or we called superstars are been in the league for several years. Their body maintenance is being maintained by the latest state of the art technology and lots of expensive exercises, supplements and a strict diet.

There are other players who don't involve that load management workload in their career and can also play back-to-back games but still going on a rampage every time on the court and will come out healthy after the game. LBJ, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Blake Griffin, Kevin Garnett..

It has nothing to do with load management for a 100% healthy player.  Kawhi has had a history (in san antonio) of getting hurt.  The clippers are in this to win in june, not to win every game in November.  The nba season is a marathon, it's all about who is healthy by playoffs than who has the most wins in november and december.  I have no problem with it at all.  Winning an nba championship involves a lot of tactics....Toronto did it with Kawhi last year, how did that work out for them having a completely healthy Kawhi come playoff time.  No shame in that

You are one of the lucky sellers than.  I know too many peoe that have sold on Ebay only to have people mine, then months later claim it was broken when they recieved it.  I guess as a buyer not a big issue since you have that protection but still, you are bound to pay higher prices because you have the ebay fees sellers have to account for.  The high prices is nothing new to ebay though, people do it hoping to get a lucky hit.  Waste of internet space usually though.

I don't charge extra for the fees - unlike most, I accept the fees as the cost of doing business - without the services for which I have to pay fees for, I would not have the sales to begin with.

I completely detest companies that charge stuff like credit card processing fees to customers and things such as that. Again, I see it as the cost of doing business.

I'm not really talking about credit cards fees or any of that wonky stuff.  People try to bake in the cost of the 10% ebay fees into either the sales price or the shipping as a way to recoup the fee from paypal and/or ebay.  Either way those miners wont sell at those crazy prices they are just click bait hoping they get someone dumb enough to actually pay those prices.
5913  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [INFO] Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread on: November 14, 2019, 09:11:47 PM
2018 was a good rookie year.  I didn't know Soto was a rookie in 2018. Only know A&G cards lol. He wasn't featured.

A 2017 x case (12 boxes) on Ebay 1500. A 2018 x single box 900 (recent sales about 400) A 2016 x box 165. 2017 x box 140.

Too bad soto not featured in 2018 A&G, then it'd be epic.



Who is in and out of the ginter 2018 set is no matter.  With or without soto it would be the same pricing.  They arent premium cards therefore the baseball world goes to other companies/products to get more premium cards.  This 2018 release and why it is priced the way it is is Solely on the #83.  If soto was in here it wouldn't move the price needle on the box.  I'm not trying to be a downer this is actually a plug for how much the crypto card really is worth.

Buyer protection is huge.  I sold one gpu on ebay and it all went smooth, then the inevitable "unit didnt work" claim came in months later.  It was sealed in the box brand new and PayPal still sided with them.  Ebay is a joke.  Those prices are usually a ruse
  It goes like this.  Set up a price for one @ $2k then set up another at $1k and make that look like a bargain.  It's a buy trap.  Steer clear if ebay and you will be good

Oh, I buy from eBay quite often - but I always do my own research before purchasing. As for selling - I have sold iPads, PC's, Laptops, Cameras, Miners etc - and have had zero returns and zero issues.

There was only one where the person who bought my scrypt miners could not get them working at first, but that was eventually resolved - If I recall, he just need to reset the pool information. The BWL21's were finicky at best and would not always save the information in the UI.

We may not see such 1000% rise in price from bottom to peak like with the last halving of LTC, yet still, 200-300% price increase is a very possible thing.

A 300% price increase would take Bitcoin from the current levels of $9,000 to $36,000. I am not sure whether we can expect such a rise. I would say that the chances looks 50/50 right now. There is also a good chance that the exchange rates can go down (just like what happened to Litecoin, immediately after the block reward halving)

So what you are saying is the the price might go up a lot or it might go down a lot after halving.  Cheesy. I mean one of those comments will be right.  People/groups buy and sell for various reasons.  Smart money doesnt follow the crowd.  Best case is to just steadily buy on predetermined timelines, and when it does go up just enjoy the ride.

Buy Dogecoin
buy 30 sat
sell 40/45 sat
I think this strategy was unreasonable. Now the price of Dogecoin is only 26sts and we are no longer on the right track.
After the strong pump on the 26th, it all seems to have stopped and now the bears are coming back strong. We should prepare for the upcoming strong dump.

In short dont follow these predictions people claim that will happen, most of the time they dont.  Remember a broken clock is right twice a day.  So while yes some of these pointless posts will end up being right by accident, most will be wrong.  This thread should not even be this long.  The original post is pointless and the thread should be regarded as the same  Tongue
5917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: November 14, 2019, 06:27:58 PM
they face clippers with a tired and horrible Jetlag situation back to back after Lakers.
There is no jetlag anymore, the game is still played at the same arena since Lakers and Clippers are both LA team.
Maybe there's a fatigue factor since Raptors has to play a back to back games, but believe me, they are professional and they know this, so it isn't a big issue here.

The second night of back to backs certainly do play a factor in how the game results.  You can go back through all of the years and see that (when evenly matched) the team on the second night of a back to back against a team who is not typically always loses.  Add in a 3 hour time difference, body clocks still exist a day or 2 after arrival.  It's not a guarantee of course but it is a huge factor in wins and loses.
5918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: November 14, 2019, 06:25:04 PM
Let's bump this since weekly poll game is in a few hours from now.

I totally forgot that Browns will have K.Hunt back after suspension for the game v Bills last week. I could have voted differently.
Hunt and Chubb playing together in the backfield is dangerous and might open things up for Landry and Odell. Steelers are hot, on a 4-game winning streak (forcing 14 turnovers in that stretch) and J.Conner is back, regardless i'm going with Browns to win this one.


How do you feel about O/U line at 42.5? It opened up at 40, i guess it jumped because of the news that Conner is going to be active tonight.
At 40 i had the under in mind, Browns at home are avg 18.2pts and Steelers away from home just 15.7pts. I think Browns will stick with worked well v Bills and run the ball, with Conner back, Steelers will do the same. CLE last week had 11 plays within the 5 yrd line with ZERO points. Isn't the under 42.5 the obvious choice here? On top of that, this a divisional game.

I would think that would be the obvious choice to pick the under so that's why maybe the over will hit Smiley  seriously I probably would hit the under on this one.  Pittsburg's and clevland defense will be tough to score many points against in this matchup.  Unless some crazy ays end up in tds I expect a 20-13 game something along those lines.  With clevland being hom I'd probably take them I think at the -3 line right now.
5919  Economy / Goods / Re: crazy online prices - on eBay for Bitmain S9's on: November 14, 2019, 06:02:48 PM
I imagine if any of those sold for those inflated prices, they’d be returned shortly thereafter causing headaches for everyone involved.

simply put, eBay allows a seller to list items as "not returnable" - then the only issue that can cause a return and subsequent refund is if the item does not work as specified. So, all they need to do is supply a miner that functions as it should - then the price does not matter as the buyer cannot return it simply because they do not like the price.

Buyers claiming a malfunction always receive the benefit of the doubt from PayPal/eBay regardless of what the seller says beforehand.

true - I did not think of that but if funds are released upon delivery - they are only held by PayPal until delivery - the seller can simply remove the funds from PayPal - unlink their banking info from the PayPal account and walk away. Then there are no funds to return to the buyer.

Buyer protection is huge.  I sold one gpu on ebay and it all went smooth, then the inevitable "unit didnt work" claim came in months later.  It was sealed in the box brand new and PayPal still sided with them.  Ebay is a joke.  Those prices are usually a ruse

Penny is right but the ginter cards are not a premium card per say, they are the "one offs" of cards.  The reason the ginter boxes go for so much is purely based on the crypto currency card.  Even if there are better rookies from one year to the next you wont see these boxes appreciate all that much.  The crypto card is the crem of this set and makes it a unique buy.  I do think these unopened boxes will go for even more some day because of the crypto card.  Just dont expect this each year from the ginter cards.
