Is it bad to say that I do hope some predictions surrounding the end of the parabola come true, at least for this "cycle" pending the next halving? Not that I'd not enjoy another x5 from current prices, I'd be as thrilled as the next guy. But since I'm unlikely to call it quits even then, I do see myself preferring a very, very, slow burn to 150k or thereabouts and then actually staying above 6 digits for most of the next few years.

All scenarios are equal in the long term though, but I feel more "security" in the latter.

@swogerino: Early season, so all kinds of records will look possible. Both yellows were very low. This week 15 points wins it, and that's the gap between 1st and 40th position, so no one should be counting on their positions to remain after only 10% of the season.

Definitely a good start for me here AND in Serie A. This is what happens when I just go with the expected outcomes and don't always hope for upsets haha. Gotta say there will surely be someone getting 2 yellows in a row. This pool is full of pretty damn good bastards.


I don't mind TAA doing that as long as he continues his fine rate of assist. England playing him in midfield seemed to have put his off course for a while... and Mane, yeah, I think he's frustrated with himself too. As long as he keeps trying, I don't mind. We just need them to keep creating and trying. The danger is when they start losing confidence.


Trust me, it's not so strange to perform better without the burden of betting money sometimes! I am enjoying this different approach to the season as well. Why don't you think it'll last? toma practically led 90% of last season!

Game 1:  29' 3-0 Arsenal
Game 2:  29'  1-0 Southampton

And good luck to your survivor pools! I played them 3/4 years ago when presented on a grid, helped guys like me to visually see (since I knew and still know nothing about the sport).

I've got tonight's bet on 4th leg of Last Man Standing on YES this time. Time to snag it all with a positive outlook, no?

Every boost is listed there. Super and regular. Super will be the very first one top left. But the easiest is always to check Special Offers channel in Clubtalk. Only the most recent offer is active and there, you'll find the detail of the Super Boost. Most 10% and 20% are for any market, unless specified. I only recall correct score and first goalscorer super boosts that are specific.


If I were betting on tonight, which I'm not, for sure 0-0 and 0-1 seem the best value bets. But my prediction is firmly with the favourites...

Yeah, not sure this exchange inflow outflow really says anything. The last similar news was a lack of balances at Coinbase, and that didn't stop price from breaking support and sitting where it is now.

Maybe Coinbase no longer is a marker any longer, at least not for institutional movements. Retail people are not still keeping coins there are they?

Had a very modest sell order even at 53.5 k and just this week had to accept a spot at 47 as could not wait much longer. That was when 51 seemed to hold very well, so was slightly surprised the depth changed quickly and the slope proved so slippery thereafter.

Still. No harm done and Nov ATH suits well with the gentle but steady rise of 200MA.

Well done indeed to you and also slaman29 for getting top points shared with you. Have never been this long at or near to the top myself, but definitely, going with the favourites has proven an effective strategy as when there are upsets like at Spurs no one else gets it anyway.

Need to stick to my guns more too. Switched Liverpool scores to 0-4 before the game. Strange more people went for that score than 0-3!

OK so I passed the 2nd leg but I think I failed still as I've just realised now that the 3rd leg was about 2 hours away from the 2nd one, and past midnight. Match is even over now.

So there was a window to bet in between the first match settling and the third one starting, but I wasn't able to stay up so late, so good luck to whomever managed to stay on and bet! I know I'm out haha.

I can't say. Again, don't take my suggestions as advice!

A regular dealer chance to bust is approximately 28%, just over 1 in 4 hands, hence why I wait for a 3-streak no bust from dealer before I start martingaling. But Freebet Blackjack uses 4 decks and seems to end the shoe some time in the middle, so I don't know how that affects probability, but I figure it's probably about the same. You also can't control how players hit (you know, those guys hitting on hard 20, for example) and how that affects dealer bust probability but I believe it evens out over time

Check  the Help (question mark) section and look under Payouts.

Are you sure you only got 2x? 4-card bust pays out 2:1 (effectively a 3x).

Just realised that Packers are playing soon and they are also in the selection for the 2nd leg of Last Man Standing. I don't know much about anything but Packers are really highly rated outside of the obvious favourites. Would have waited for odds on them to improve but in case they win tomorrow, I've booked in my last outright.

@ralle14 I made early outrights on 5 teams, using the daily boost of course;) So my final list of outrights for Super Bowl winner, even bets on each:
Steelers @37.3
Dolphins @34
Patriots @34
Seahawks @25.2
Packers @14.2

Re Last Man Standing, last season, by the way, was NFL's historic high of TDs scored. The trend, apparently has been going up every season. It was 4.6 TDs per game on average, crazy. That's one every quarter right?

I'm such a Google expert...

I was referring to an earlier discussion of one big loss causing an entire team's morale to deplete, which was not the case, as it was a string of bad games. And a Covid season problem to add.

Ignoring their 2002 run (which I happened to witness as well) Güneş wasn't just the architect of that Dutch win but the French win as I mentioned not long after he took over.  Anyway, no use discussing further what's done. Just always makes it slightly sad that it's one game that seemed to have triggered it after the memories he's given me betting on them haha. I blame the players more but fair enough, the coach is paid to shoulder responsibility.

Heh Thiago, almost let Bamford find a way back in for Leeds with that careless, careless, giveaway of the ball. Thought we'd give Leeds a hammering but it came about in a rather strained way as once more, red card changed the game in some strange way as we lost Elliot and game halted for 5 mins. Anyway, bagged the win, poor Mane trying everything to get on the sheet and got the goal he fully deserved (phew!).


No need to be sorry, it's true. That Villareal penalty lineup? That cleared all doubts. I think, as much as I can respect a Utd player, OGS was one of the best, a poacher at heart, but his performance as a manager has been papered over by a filthy rich balance sheet and a squad filled with superstars who've actually as a whole underperformed so they've been worse than the sum of their parts.

Any other manager with that kind of financial muscle on the field would be fired for a trophyless season. Yet they go again and reward him with... Ronaldo? Fearsome squad they got though...

Missed the first half, so haven't even seen the Salah goal but he won me my HT 1x2 bet AND Salah any time to score, so I couldn't be happier, really. Reading the stats and analysis made me double down on another 2nd half Liverpool win and Fabinho seems to have won me that early.

Struijk off now for that tackle on Elliott... normally positive for a team 2 goals in front, but only problem is I predicted 4-0 and if Leeds park the bus after this, it's going to be tough...

@DIA7: good tip on 2-1, it's the most common score and close score for favourites to win, even without looking stats up, it's how you get 1-0, 3-2, 3-1 all covered for close scores as well.


It's really strange, isn't it? The last time they got promoted just 2 seasons ago, also as Champions, they went right back down finishing bottom of the league, scoring barely half a goal per game. At least that time, Pukki seemed to get them off to good scoring at times, including THAT famous comeback win against Citeh.

This time, one penalty is all they've had in 4 games. It's really looking grim for them.

Disappointment seems a bit strange, given how much valuation had already expanded from the start of the year. I mean, from below $1000 to five-figure dollar sums? What exactly were you expecting, McAfee's vision to come true in 2017?  In fact, one guy even called it quits when $10k was reached for the first time. Such was their fear that the rise was too much, too fast (tried to find the thread, I even spoke to him, but maybe I'll be more motivated another time).

Fear, I'd understand. I spoke to not a few old-timers (I was fresh-faced at the time, maybe still am, dunno) and even before Bitcoin was heading to 10k, just fresh after ATH, people were saying this was it.They turned out to be wrong, but that clarity took a couple of years at least to arrive for most.

Would be sort of a slight let down for me to see sub40k again so soon, not that I ever thought we would be leaving that permanently, just thought it would not be revisited so quickly, especially after that August show of consolidating strength.

Then again, if it results in an extreme bounce, especially with 200MA adding to that, could be enough for persistent growth over the next few weeks and then inertia preventing another retracement beneath 50k. Still plenty of time before final quarter to see all this noise play out.

Maybe stop copy-pasting stuff badly rewritten from the internet, and then taping on your own random uninformed drivel. Leeds never aims for a draw. Also, don't know what the hell people like you been watching (of course, I know you've never watched a single game hence the magical fantasy you're spouting), Leeds have been called a lot of things, but weak is the first I've heard.

Sigh, ended up not being too tough for me actually. Was having an exact score on the first game all the way till final minute injury time damn. And then redeemed with 3 points from an exact score on Atletic Bilbao.

Would still have preferred 2 close scores though, those slam points so precious.

I wouldn't keep doing that, of course. 105 days or so left, you're bound to hit a bad streak. Just keep playing to get the min, use up the wins, and then try again maybe when you're in the red -- again, don't take my advice, this is just how I play.

Free double's very good too, though right? Even if you don't get a 10, dealer could still bust and you're good.

3 card bust: 2/1
4 card bust 4/1
5 card bust: 9/1 (hit once for me this round)
6 card bust: 50/1 (I love this, hit it twice last Live Hero).
7 or more I can't remember.
