The only interesting dispute is between Porto and Braga for third place, but unfortunately Braga lost their last game and it became very difficult
Now Braga won game against Casa Pia in quite epic way 4:3. One of their players got 2nd yellow card, but despite it they scored goal on 90th minute and won the game. Offcourse, Porto is in better situation being 1 point ahead.
1 game is remaining today Famalicao - Benfica. Not expecting nothing interesting here as both teams already fight for nothing actually (I already don't count Benfica fighting for title.

PSV 4 - 2 Sparta Rotterdam

it was an incredible victory for PSV, with this victory PSV became champions, in recent years PSV had been fighting hard to win the league and they were unlucky because Feyenoord managed to overcome them and they became champions, but this season PSV finally managed win the league. I believe that the coach and management of the team and the players are very happy with this result, they had a great campaign this season, there were 32 games, 28 wins, 1 loss, 107 goals scored. It's incredible how they managed to score 107 goals in 32 games, this shows how they have a very efficient attack.
Winning in Rotterdam derby is great way to take title. And match itself wasn't bad, Sparta gave great fight. PSVwas so dominant this season that probably already in the middle of season there was no doubts about who will win trophy. It's only sad that they didn't managed to make Invincibles season without defeats. And offcourse, they wanted to go further in UEFA cup than they did this year.
AZ took important win against direct competitor for spot in Champions league Twente. Now they still have chance to reach Twente as they're leading by 2 points.

Volendam 1 - 4 Ajax

Despite this incredible victory for Ajax, they have no chance of going to the European competitions, and what Ajax is going through is a lot of humiliation, finishing in position 5 is very disappointing, when I look at the table:
That's not true, now they're 5th what would give them spot in Europa league qualification. If they will finish 6th, they will have playoff between 6-9 placed teams for spot in Conference league.

Soon it will be 9 years since I joined Bitcointalk, so, it's good question what keeps me here. First I think that now spend here much less time than in early years. It's not that I check most boards here daily like I used to do. Simply don't have that much time because of real life stuff, but also probably got a bit bored with crypto.
What keeps me is probably that habbit that I made in all these years to check forum at least few times a day. Now it would be difficult to get rid of such habbit, something similar like quit smoking Cheesy.
Also, what a l like here is community and projects, initiatives made by them. This is one of things that I like about Bitcointalk most. And another thing which is also factor - money, it would be stupid to lie.

So, we lost to Girona 4:2, despite leading twice. In this way we not only gave them guaranted spot in Champions league (happy for them), but also, this result means that Real Madrid is La Liga 23/24 champions  officially. Congratulations to all Real fans here, more than deserved.
I just don't understand some things. Barca started game in perfect way, scoring early goal. And then you let Girona to score on next attack. And then again, Girona scores and it was such shock for Barcelona players that they left game, letting score them another goal after one minute. And after that team completely collapsed, Girona controoled game until the end

Verstappen for a change won the sprint race ahead of the Ferrari of Leclerc and his Redbull teammate.
Riccardo managed to maintain fourth position ahead of Sainz.
Disaster for Norris out at the first corner and cause of safety car, quite boring race, one of the worst sprint races so far since they were introduced.
I think Miami track isn't the best place for Sprint race. It was nice to see him defending 4th place, but I think that he would stand no chance for such achievement in track like Monza. It's also worth to mention Yuki Tsunoda who went up from P15 to P8 and got 1 point. Prety impressive.
Poor Norris, he was innocent here completely, same like Alonso who was in sandwich. First I thought, oh no, Stroll did something stupid again, but after replay it's clear that was Hamilton fault, strange that he didn't got penalty.

Another series reached Game 5 Tonight we saw another great playoff game. It was very low scoring game, but that's true beauty of playoffs. Such defensive game is something what Fenerbahche preferred, but Monaco won even without playing their typical basketball.
Sad that such great game was ruined by accident in the end. Fenerbahche fans attacked Monaco players. It wasn't  shown on TV what exactly happened, but it looks that Monaco players aren't saint too as they allegedly provoked fans.

Yes, as usual he only carries out his duties on this forum to provide the latest news on any promotions from this site, I think he should also help discuss this with representatives from freebitcoin to overcome the beginner problem which is currently being discussed at great length, Thequin hasn't arrived yet to answer the question of all their complaints, even the Lambo in round 10 has not been announced yet, I think many new problems have surfaced recently so there is no solution that can really solve all the problems and complaints.

I also think that @freebitco.in PR if they are representatives of the site they should pay attention to any issues in this thread. at least to report that a representative from freebitcoin came to clarify any problems that occurred with novice users who said that their accounts were hacked and so on, I am also interested in following developments because this will continue to be discussed in this thread, even though there may be problems with malware viruses, it still won't there are those who try to solve his case let alone help him. This case looks complicated. Freebitcoin representatives should solve the problem  Wink
They're not employee of Freebitco.in, it's just PR company hired bythem. So, most likely they don't have inside info what's going on there, so, they just continue to do for what they're getting paid. But definitely they have direct contact with Freebitco.in because how otherwise getting information what they should post. Maybe they're not checking every post here, but I'm sure they see that there is lot of complaints, so, it wouldn't be hard to inform them.

Wow, it's unexpected that Olympiacos destroyed Barcelona so easy when previous games were so close. 17-0 run in 1st half decided game and it looked that Barca gave up early, already thinking about Game 5.
We will have game 5 between Panathinaikos and Maccabi too. In 4th quarter there was moment when it looked that Maccabi controls the game and will win this series. But in the end, PAO took control over and won the game.
Euroleague playoffs couldn't be better than this. Now we only need Game 5 between Monaco and Fenerbahche.

I had a discussion with a colleague the other day about Euroleague and how uneventful it is. Let me explain...
He claimed that since it's a closed league, it's in their interest to participate in some minor match fixing so they earn more from tv rights and licenses. For example, with matches at this stage running at a best of three, if any team was to win within the first three matches, it would have left the last two matches never played with their opponent already knocked out.

-snip-
I don't want to believe in similar conspiracy theories. And AFAIK, money from TV rights doesn't belongs on how many games they play, they have fixed contracts

Yesterday it was 30 years since Ayrton Senna died, for me he was one of the greatest of all time, I always watched the races to see him, it was all very sad... Is anyone here from Senna's time? he was incredible, especially driving in the rain.
Nope, I wasn't even born back then. But saw many movies, videos about him. It was such tragic weekend, don't forget that day before Roland Ratzenberger died in tragic crash. Senna wanted to honour him as Austrian flag was found in his car...
It was such wild and such dangerous times in F1. And despite that safety level since improved unbeleavable, we still have tragic crashes happening...


Adrian Newey leaving is a terrible terrible news for Red Bull, because there will be the famous 2026 changes, and when that happens they will need a car that is amazing, and Newey is by far the best designer in the world, without him they are not going to build a car that is great.

If it is all about just money, then Aston Martin has a very rich owner, and he is willing to get his son as much chances as possible, father stroll already hired bunch of engineers from red bull to have a decent car, if he could get Newey as well then I am assuming that with 2026 changes then even Aston Martin could end up with the best car and it wouldn't be a shock. Plenty of teams have changes when you look at regulation changes, so it is all going to be a surprise to us all.
Before leaving Red Bull he is going to work on RB17 hypercar, so, it's not that he will be free very soon.
Somehow I don't see him in Aston Martiin. Stroll is rich, but I think it's not just about money. And I'm concerned about Red Bull. Yeah, we all hate such dominance, but it would be sad if  they will collapse after so much efforts and successful seasons.

Many countries seem to do that for the sake of awareness about the damage it can be done to our inner organs by the continuous consumption of tobacco smoke. Here in Venezuela, it is not only oictures of damaged lungs, our authorities have gone ever further than including pictures of tumors and destroyed teeth embedded on the cigarette packages. Though, the tax of tobacco seems to be relatively low here, since people continues to smoke regardless of the accumulated prices though the months.

By the way, I am sorry for what happened to your grandfather. It seems there is people who truly are willing to through some of their time in earth for the sake of satisfying their craving for nicotine. Hopefully he did not suffer much from that disease...
I had a family member (sister of my grand mother) who also liked to smoke much and she even liked to smoke with the lit extreme of the cigarette inside her mouth. I never understood such a thing.
Yeah, here we also have such images. And now it looks unrealistic that a bit over than 20 years it was all OK to advertise cigarettes on TV. We all probably remember these ads with Marlboro cowboy Smiley
About my grandpa, in general it was all not so bad, until final month, when his health started getting worse each day. At least he didn't had to suffer for long. I still remember buying him last pack of cigarettes...
IMO, here cigarettes is still too much affordable. I think it costs  less than $5 for pack. Something like $15 would make you think twice before buying. Offcourse, then there would be another raising problem with smuggling.

Oh, I already thought that Baskonia can win this game and not end series 3:0. But Real is Real, similar like in football. It was enough for them to play 1.5 good quarters to win game and reach Final 4 in shortest possible way.

We did it!  Smiley  We managed to win home in Game 3 to lead the series by 2-1. As we are the seeded team we have a valuable advantage in our hands from now on. Even if this series extends to Game 5 I believe in my team to defeat Monaco to reach Final Four stage.
Congrats! Even tough 78 points doesn't looks something special, this game was about defense. It's one of lowest scoring games for Monaco this season. When Monaco made a run in 4th quarter, Fenerbahche managed to respond. And finally, at least one game without any contraversies, unlike yesterday
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: May 01, 2024, 08:11:12 PM
Came in here because I had a mild shock today, opening my livescore app and seeing Cremonese playing -- only to remember that they were relegated last season and it's just a whole bunch of Serie B games. Also, didn't even realise Inter had already won! Times have really changed for me that I find out an entire week later and forget who the teams are even in Serie A.

Parma seem set for Promotion... and then a whole list of teams below I don't care much about. Just please don't get Sampdoria in again...

I'm still in with a shout on this pool, 4 games to go. I can do it!
Parma promotion happened 1 season too late. Last season they were so close too, but lost in promotion playoffs and after season legendary Gigi Buffon decided to retire at 45.
Why so negative about Sampdoria? Cheesy Personally for me this team makes good memories from 15-20 years ago, not followed them much recently.
I'm stuck in 15th place, like most part of season. Though, with 324 points which I have, I would bbe 3rd in La Liga pool. Probably it shows that this league is more predictable in general.
73  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Smoking addiction in the society on: May 01, 2024, 07:08:38 PM
In the reply you replied to, you can see that I am writing about how they may know the dangers but may not know to what extent the danger is (probably because they always wake up the next day). For instance, if a doctor told a smoker that his lungs are so damaged that one more cigarette, he’d be dead, I can guarantee you that the addiction will vanish because now he knows that it’s to the extent his life would be gone in the next try.
As already said, most of them know about damage made by cigarettes. I really doubt that words like that one more cigarette could be last one would stop him. Now in my country on package of cigarettes there is images of damaged lungs or something similar, not sure how much it helps.
Probably they don't stop as long as they feel ok and don't get lung cancer. Though, my grandpa even with lung cancer didn't stoped smoking almost until his final days...

Even tough I predicted draw for this game, not really happy with outcome. In 1st half Real scored from onemoment that they had, in 2nd half Bayern already entered with different energy and scored 2 fast goals and it looked thatthey control the game But Real is Real. Factthat Atletico Madrid remains only team this season who managed to beat them says a lot...


About the Superbru issue, is like arall say above me, is only a momentary issue from Superbru when so much people are trying to enter or check the site.
Usually it happens after end of some big games, not before it. But it's good warning that we shouldn't wait until last minute to submit predictions.

Euroleague playoffs is back to action with 3rd games of series. Maccabi continue to play without Baldwin, but so far it wasn't big problem. It was another great game, it looked that Maccabi can win easier as they were leadingalmost whole game, but in the end PAO made comeback. Despite it, Maccabi survived and lead series 2:1
Didn't saw much from Olympiacos - Barcelona game as my attention was on UCL semifinal. It was another very close game. It's incredible how Barca survived in 4th quarter after Olympiacos run, mainly with Abrines 3-pointers. And then in overtime Oly lost game in most stupid possible way - foul on last second. I think it may be crucial game in series.

I would like to think that the site is doing so well that they have neglected the forum because they are so busy with other tasks. Although I am not justifying it, the truth is that it does not give a good image, but a site that has worked so well for so long and must have earned so much money I find it hard to think that suddenly it is because of economic problems or something.
Abandon forum wouldn't be concerning if everything actually would be going very well with Freebitco.in. Then there wouldn't be such long delay with winners announcement. Or as said above, it's almost impossible to get reply from their support. Though, I'm not implying that they have financial problems or something similar.
Back in the day Freebitco.in was like example how service should communicate. Now they turned into huge corporation which is afar away from their customers.

BTW, TheQuin was active in the forum today. But he hasn't said anything about the withdrawal delay complaints and about the Lamborghini draw delay. The silence of TheQuin is a bit odd here while he is the only hope for the updates.
Damn, they still haven't published Round 10 Lambo winner? Such things doesn't looks good.
TheQuin is quiet for a long time, not sure what's going on behind the curtains, but something definitely isn't ok.

Well, I just read this Reddit post discussing hidden meaning in the Eurovision entry from Greece .  Honestly pretty intriguing stuff - I'm a sucker for Eurovision songs that make you think beyond just boppin' your head to a catchy beat and  seems a lot of times the straight up pop bangers take the cake, but this Greek tune is sparking some neat discussions apparently.  Makes me curious if this Zari track might shock people! Cause in Eurovision, heck - wild things can happen outta nowhere.  Wink

I like when songs have hidden message, but I'm not really sure that it may help. If you look at average Eurovision viewers knows these details, most of them here song for the first time and then vote. It's more about hardcore fans.
Now looked at odds, it's changed a bit since I checked last time. Switzerland is ranked highest, personally don't like it at all.
But I see that most contraversial entry Israel is ranked not bad, they can reach top 10. There is lot of people against them, but at the same time I think they will get quite a lot support.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2023/24 on: April 29, 2024, 05:40:10 PM
Congratulations, you were right in your prediction, both teams scored and the game had 4 goals. It was a game in which Porto started very well, scored the first goal, caused danger to Sporting's defense and in the 1st half Porto scored the second goal and they came out of the 1st half winning without conceding a goal. I confess that I really thought that the game was already won and that in the 2 half all the port needed to do was continue playing as well as they were doing in the 1 half. When the 85th minute arrived I immediately thought that the game would end with Porto's victory, because Porto were winning the game by 2 goals. But I was shocked when I saw Sporting's goal in the 86th minute and in less than 1 minute Sporting scored the second goal, the Porto coach's irritation was visible on the field. With this draw from Sporting, I think Sporting is champion. I no longer see any remaining team being able to make Sporting lose points. Gyokeres was Sporting's hero in the game against Porto
I already thought that I lost my bets because for 85 minutes Sporting played poor game and didn't had any moments in whole game. But then, I have no words. This probably summarizes Porto season and why they're 18 points behind Sporting. Still, don't get why Gyokeres was realeased only after substitution.
If there was doubts about Sporting becoming champions, now it's all clear. 3 rounds remaining and they're playing against weak teams.
