Yeah, a new challenge on this link (well, hardly new now that it's entered the 46th edition -- I believe one every day since it was launched 13th March).

They do run a lot of promos so can be hard to keep track but their ANN's where you'll hear about everything if you visit, you don't even have to respond just watch;)

And yep, got my win thanks to AeG. Small happy joy joy =)

Night lads. Looking forward to Liverpool - Utd tomorrow LFC_Bitcoin? I've cleared my evening!

I went for a live Villa DBB at about 25/10, just moments before they scored... then of course got pegged back. I'm watching live text scores with some interest too because of the Blackjack challenge -- currently at 11 points with 30 mins to go, so we need a flurry of corners or cards I guess to see his through. Not looking very hopeful but yeah a Toffees win screws me in betting. I went for 0-0 so am already on 1.5 points, I suppose I won't mind losing those points for some betting wins.

Indeed. Something about English clubs in any case, from my general observation, that tends to appeal a bit more to us in the Commonwealth. Perhaps it's because football is as big here as it is there. Perhaps it's just the common language that meant we used to get free FA cup live shows on regular tv in late 80s til 90s, until Sky took over everything haha...

But of course if it ends up being Leeds, I'll be wanting those jerseys just as bad =D

@arallmuus @icopress Yep, Europa is United's to lose. I'm betting on whoever progresses on the other end of course. Can't stand United winning... sorry Red Devils.

Yeah if the Foxes win just two more games I think it's. In the bag for them. The manner with which they won their last one will also be a boost to morale, whereas Liverpool still only have a glimmer of hope even if they beat United. Not conceding 4th now but it would be quite disrespectful to hope Chelsea and West Ham drop so many more points in the last handful of fixtures. We just need to fix our games as have been dreadful.

Brighton currently leading so again just goes to show how frustratingly unpredictable every team sans City have been this season. Bielsa woll be using the rest of the season to hopefully test out personnel. No point in burning out the rest of the season just protect Bamford and keep fitness levels up is all.

Am on mobile but I had to try and find a decent stream to see for myself after seeing this haha but nah he has always looked a tad chunky when not on the field... Can't really tell though but he opened the scoring and does the job. Kinda like Suarez or even Cantona at times I remember. A bit chunky looking but still twisting and squirming like gods haha.

I do remember watching Lukaku at United and swearing he looked bigger and bigger and my son (the fan) kept insisting I was wrong until one day you simply couldn't deny it anymore!

It's actually still called Euro 2020. I made the mistake myself but looked it up and it was after all decided to retain the original name so as not to cause confusion ha.

I always bet on Copa, and even Afcon... Good value bets always to be found on smaller countries but who recently have very competitive squads thanks to rich vlub experience in the Europe Big Fours...

We did have a euro pool as I recall or was that World Cup now? Either way definitely joining if there is enough interest!

Thought I would point this out but guess it's not such a hidden possible avenue of inquiry after all. A lot of new studies showing that powering electric and other types of renewables aren't as clean as thought of. Not to mention the growing pile of spent solar panels in places I used to work... They basically lose effectiveness after five years or so especially on older tech panels. With no thought as to how to dispose of them properly.

Not that I'm anti renewable. It is the future, we just can't rush into it. But sectors like Bitcoin mining will certainly push efforts to understand renewables and make them more responsible. All good.

Nice picks JollyGood! Certainly the wise options for predictions but betting wise I have gone quite a different direction. Palace to win around 95/10 is what I am counting on and the match is an hour away so it might even rise to 11/1 or thereabouts.

Also I would pick handicaps or DNBs for Villa and Fulham... Just biased there though. Need Chelsea and Everton to drop points if Liverpool wants a peek into UCL spots heh. We have to of course beat United but I fancy our chances there to be honest... Ignoring how we let Leeds and Newcastle ruin our past two games...

Well, the lesson obviously needs to be hammered into me haha. Wasted some good upsets in my pivks yesterday too.

City should win today quite easily, but Palace reminded Leicester Zaha is still a painful striker to deal with and I feel City losing hurt the odds but still worth taking a punt.

On mobile now so not easy to update so will do the calculations and maybe another pick later but my pick today...

100 units at Fairlay on Palace to WIN at 9.42. other odds 8.80.

Units advantage: 62

Running advantage after 327 bets: +22,154 (+62)
All-time cumulative: +59,712
Running units after 326 bets (401W|275L): +12,088 (-100)

Predicting prices and years sort of lost its lustre for me even if I do engage in self fantasy every now and then.

For me, it's quite simple. I either hit a price target or a time target, and neither are near me at all.

But for the sake of entering my prediction, top is 200,000 at 2025. Very simple 6 months after next halving. The effect every halving is hard to ignore.

I'd go as far to say as that you can't even really guarantee "old" players will bring the results desired. I'm a huge fan of Suarez, and I thought Barca were wrong to do what they did to him, so happy he found a good club at Atletico. Also happy Chicarito (don't like United but can't fault good guys like them) still can punch above his weight in MLS but even gold star players like Zlatan didn't always work out. Robbie Fowler didn't really work out on his return to Liverpool, for example.

So I still say, and I know this is naive, that you should never spend a lot of money, regardless of age. Markets can sometimes force your hand but it usually evens out (buying VVD at sky high prices after selling Coutinho for even more crazy prices, for example). Hoping my club continues their strategy of buying. We got a good player in Jota, we didn't really get good ones in between (I did think Minamino needed time though) but we just have to keep at it. Keep the gems and offload the rest.

And they were just incredible to watch, and dirty, which was kind of something of an English football thing for us watching in Asia. Man, the late 90s were something, except of course for United and Arsenal heh.


I'll def have a look before commenting on this thread, I'm trying to read a bit about baseball (MLB) so just want to get to grips with the format of the MLB season... but I have to really admit NFL is making me very confused. The draft in particular, I probably need to find a nice video to explain before I dive in.

@arallmuus: Nice win, nice win. Fair play, United.

I did look up the names in the draft for the first pick but when we had to do the second pick on the refresh, I just stabbed at some semi-instinctive, semi-guesstimate pick. If I win, then I definitely need to do random more often;)

And phew, Bitcoin. I know you've been betting in the same BTC amounts but I've had to adjust my bets just to keep me from going overboard (since I am earning in BTC but paid in fiat values ha). It is really nice to be locking in profits last year though and that prize money just looks incredible now. Entry was actually around £40 which translated to around $53... I checked the entry fee it was actually 0.0045 btc


Brother, you always know how to say the things that my politeness tells me not to sometimes haha. Hate to say it too but I'd rather them Madrid royalty and Zidane take the stage too in Istanbul.

@BitcoinHunt3r Well bloody done!

Thank you Granada. This was a poor season for me in many ways. Yes still very much in profit but it was pretty tough without the requisite underdog bets, so this is typical of my strength ha ha.

Roma even almost made it, 2-1 at HT and then whoops capitulation to 5 second half goals. Ah well, can't win them all.

Have I learnt my lesson? Not really =D

100 units boosted, insured Celta Vigo, Lafnitz, Belouizdad, Meizhou Hakka, Brisbane Road @18.09. Other odds: 16.88

It's my favourite part of football, too. The cruelty with which your team can rise all the way to the top by killing giants, and then have it all taken away in the end... or by rolling on undefeated for seasons long and then fall into a patch and lose against derby rivals for the first time in decades (lol Everton).

And of course, I totally love that underdogs in football get 20+ odds as soon as the favourites start getting overhyped. Just need to hit a few of them a season to make it profitable haha.

I made 2 underdog picks today. Granada and Roma (6/1, which actually climbed to 7/1!). So it seems we are on opposite ends of this game! United just equalised so all is safe so far;)


That's not the first time Granada or any underdog won converting their goals with their only shots! I know because Liverpool is this season on the receiving end of that ha ha sobs ha ha.

Thank you very much, indeed I took the bet, it was just a little over 22/1, it does remind me of Granada early season and last when they gave me superb wins. Unfortunately, I'd predicted a full-blown 3-0 in our little pool, so I remain well outside the Top 5, with 5 games to go haha. Nice yellow cap Trofo buddy, but I don't mind at all celebrating this upset with, as casper said, only 2 shots on goal.

Football is so cruel isn't it?

Well they have been anything but inconsistent the last stretch of games, which is a pretty good time to peak, I'd say. All of it has been linked to Bruno Fernandes. When he's fit and in form, oh they can play well, especially when Rashford and others have somehow got themselves into a rut. Always a slow start is what will worry OGS.

My money's on Roma tonight though, but only because of the value. And Arsenal offering up cool value too, obviously bookies counting on the away disadvantage.

@igehhh Yeah I know Leeds is a lot more "glamourous" than the Hornets thanks to their exploits in the late 1990s. I'll always remember that boy crying when they got relegated "Leeds til I die", even watching far away across the world I remember this scene most, we all followed Leeds back then (He's of course still a fan today).

But still, Watford were the ones who first shook hands with SB, surely that's special in its own right, no?

@arallmuus @rdbase Never won anything from here yet so can't confirm, but $10 is going to be hard to count when BTC goes up again soon =D

Aren't any of you guys going for Roma? Come on =p

Happy to say my outright selection (BoSox) is looking good top of their league table, only two other teams in National League have the same joint highest wins (16) and 9 losses.

I've been reading up a little so I know it's a long way to go in a 162 game season (!!) but happy to see my outright team taking early lead despite the loss on the opener.

How're you guys doing?

I always feel bad for these guys. They got hyped up so much it was always going to be impossible to keep up with expectations that were sky-high before they even touched a blade of grass... he must feel bad he didn't pick Liverpool but we got Jota instead who's a revelation so there you go =p


Nice one man! I haven't had much luck with this one but $50 freebets, where else do you get them with nothing, right? Good luck spending this freebet.


Awesome win, and just reminds us how it pays to use BTC, eh?

Just put in my picks for the NFL 4-3-free too. Yes, totally random. Ha;) I'll look for rdbase in there thread!
