Ah, so it actually got approved, just read the confirmation too. But as Bryant points out, no market reaction.

I'd like to see some of those Miami conference dudes put money where their mouths were and start supporting this Salvador Bitcoin thing. And then maybe we start seeing some nodes pick up there, and maybe some good infrastructure for them merchants who let's also hope get an influx of Bitcoin spending tourists. Far end of the continent from Europe, but probably not for most of West Coast US?

No card, corner or goal for the last 25 minutes of England-Croatia ugh. Last time I bet on them was a Croatia upset during World Cup but glad I only put England on a parlay for this one. Dull huh?


I've heard variations of this statistically most common result but think it really does depend on the league/country you play in. Premier League and Championship games, it's been consistently 1-0 as the most common result, between 15-20% of all results for past few years. Also the most common scoreline of Liverpool's wins.

I look at the correct score market and in general, 2:1 has a lot of value. This is Euros, and we're already seeing two 3:0s, two 1:0s... I suspect we're going to get more 3:0s and 1:0s than more any other result. But that's not scientific, just my feeling looking at the groups and how they're set up.

Ack, I totally missed today, thought we wouldn't get the early kickoff but I suppose England had to feature! Was it even a good match? HT 0-0 and only a single card and single corner, was heading for the record books but for the 2nd half yellows and goal, game got going and the lowest-ever 6 from friendlies still stood strong.

Was on ClubTalk when Sterling scored, for those of us hoping for no 0-0s in the tourney;)

7 points at 72 minutes. This would be a legendary BJ if it hits!

Just thought to stop by and say it was a great Adesanya bet. A lot of us lost the first time round so his revenge was pretty cool. Also managed to score on 14/10 odds, which was by far the best odds anywhere around, almost 20% better, so hats off to you Stake.

Livestreams I haven't tried out fully yet but I agree, this could be the one unique factor that brings people like me back to the fold. I'll try it out over the next few non-football days;)

We should see mempool fill up again now that difficulty adjustment kicks in. Got all my urgent txs out to weather the small swell we should see.

A bit surprised there wasn't a bigger price action on the weekend though... Maybe some last min Sunday swings before our Far East friends take over?

Dude, not really new news. Dorsey already did his "duty" about Twitter and a blockchain-based payment service on it. Almost a year ago or some. Didn't really move markets then. Twitter Dorsey and Bitcoin are already a thing I guess. Even Having BTC emojis didn't do nearly as much as Musk-esque promos. That's okay though. We can all live with it.

Another great win, at great odds, with no risk. Value doesn't get better than this. 5 rounds, Adesanya gets back to winning ways and he gets his revenge against Vettori.

A rare parlay today, but no friendlies, EURO, Copa and Brasil mix. Why not? Boosted and insured at Sportsbet:
100 units on Netherlands, Austria, England, Colombia and Fortaleza to WIN @14.43. Other odds: 13.35

Units advantage: 108

Yeah, I think so too. In the past, Sportsbet did actually void bets on player markets if they didn't start the game. Which is why I played plenty of first to score markets (and if they didn't start, bets voided, so I didn't mind betting on prematch values, which when boosted, were really high).

Anyway, glad to know he woke up and is in hospital recuperating. Too bad the whole team, understandably, played badly after that. Even the penalty was so tame.

Finally got round to opening an account. Doesn't quite look like it's easy to win as you can only win 2 star players from the spin (which still costs "gold") but okay, am entering the free round on today's D group on free players to see how far it gets. Might give this a go for a week or two, but I do feel like all these player pack games end up being pay-to-win. Not that I'm against that, people do got to do what they got to do! No one else from forum plays this?

Happy with how tourney's going SO FAR although it's still early, the yellow card special is doing pretty well -- but Denmark-Finland has us sitting nervous at HT with 0-0 despite 12 shots on goal from the Danes haha. 4-3-free already out with that 5th minute yellow heh.

Had a Eriksen to score and Denmark to win, 45/10. Anyone took that one? Match suspended after he collapsed apparently. Not watching but hope he's okay...

First draw of the tournament but it could have been a late Swiss win if not for Mario Gavranovic's goal taken off the board. 2 games, 5 goals, so we're heading for the 2.5 goal per game average I was hoping for... quality's not so good yet, but then we've only had Italy play that's really a good team. But let's see if the Danes prove me wrong eh snipie?

Maybe some Belgian fireworks later? Really hoping for a goalfest today, while the teams are still fresh and raring to go.

Wales-Switzerland turned out to be a pretty gritty affair for the Welsh, leveling with one of their mere shots on goal the entire game, and then getting a Mario Gavranovic goal chalked off.

3 cards, 2 games and 16 corners (crazy corner count as they predicted on ClubTalk Radio)! The final corner in 96th min too. If that Swiss winner had stood, it would have been bust, but well, this was the 2nd EURO game and already a BJ "woulda been" phew!

It was just the sort of game you want for BJ. 16 points on 80th min so plenty of time for late drama points =D

Slissy! Always nice to see a Bitcointalk guy in Club Talk but even better to see it the other way around now! (Sojourner here). I was there when you confirmed you won, and happy you're one of the regulars getting it. Spent it all on Italy I hope?

Why not make it a habit and stop by this forum here too? It's almost as crazy here spread across all the threads =)

Thank you Italy. Looking back, I should have parlayed it with some picks I was mulling over yesterday, in tennis and in friendlies. But happy I just got out of this all the same.

OK, so, today's a very different game, UFC23. And why? Because Stake has got an awesome special on today -- bet on their Ambassador, Israel Adesanya (who's also the favourite) and if he loses, you get your money back. At 14/10, that's value I couldn't ignore. Who can? =D

500 units at Stake on Adesanya to WIN vs Vettori @1.40. Other odds: 1.34
Bet ID: sport:10997386 (if you paste that in Stake chat, you can see the slip)

Units advantage: 30

Hate to be the guy to kill dreams like these too OP but you got to live the life of these impoverished peoples first to really understand what they need and what they want.

Education,health, clean water, roof over their heads. An ID. These are the things they want and they will need to escape and break that cycle of impoverishment... Not Bitcoin.

Even if it's a payment method they need, Bitcoin even on layer two won't help even if somehow you find a way to provide the internet and smartphones they would need.

I love Bitcoin but it's not the solution to everything.

Well, we'll find out in a day or so what happens when difficult adjusts up about 13%. Miners will be at max output, or they switch off and then we get even tighter on congestion for another couple of weeks. Then they jump back right in for the certain difficulty down adjustment after.

For as long as market keeps sideways anyway. So... Same same.

Well, it wasn't a disappointing match after all, but it did take all of second half to produce the three goals and 2 yellow cards required to take this match to 15 for a push. Late yellows too.

Surprised Turkey only managed 1 shot on goal, while Italy rained 8 down on them.

But we go again tonight, or is it going to be the 2pm UTC Welsh/Swiss kickoff?

Somebody (me) has sat and posted betslips for 3 years, over 1,100 of them, day by day. Because, like I said, no betslips, no honey. It's not about believing, it's about trail of evidence that what you set out to prove actually is true. It's for yourself.

So that when I tell people, hey guys, I've done over 3 years and 1,100 bets and this is how much I won/loss, I don't sound like I'm pulling random crap out of my ass.

Good luck to you though. If I were making loads of cash, I'd probably not have time to share on forums, so hats off to you;)

My man, I took the exact same bet, and France wasn't even my pick (took Netherlands) but I'd easily pick Brazil, Djoko and Barty all so I thought, hell why not.

"Only" put 1.5mbtc on it though so just under half a Bitcoin if this hits. I'll come celebrate with you over a beer if we get it!

I had a nice chance to take 25/10 boosted Italy win at Sportsbet yesterday so have a slightly hefty sum on that. I did also take an almost 9/1 bet at Fairlay to hedge that bet, so I feel pretty good about tonight's opener.

I'll win something either outcome, but will win the most with Italy. Now the draw would set me back quite a bit though haha!
