Who is watching Bologna vs Genoa?
After half time the score is 1 - 1 Bologna is playing relatively well with 53% ball possessioning. Both team are trying to have the full points.

They are at injury time, with the scoreline still at 1 - 1. Bologna will move up a spot away from the danger zone by goal difference If they at least secure the draw.

Edit: Full time, 1 - 1

Liverpool did the job yesterday by winning a good game against a medium quality team like Bournemouth.

It will be interesting to see Manchester City against Chelsea as I think we will see a match with many goals but in the end Manchester City I think it will win and will keep the fight for the title alive.

Liverpool got their win yesterday and Man City will try to get theirs too. I'm however not sure there will be too much goals in this fixture, Maybe 2 goals at most. A 2 -0 win for Man City would be my pick.


Tottenham against Leicester will kick off in about10 minutes, Both Dele alli and Harry Kane are still missing for the host, Let's see if they can get a win today without their prolific duo.

Are we placing more value on creating good content than on things like successful trades?

Trades on the BitcoinTradetalk forum are not moderated,  but DT Members are doing their part to keep it clean.

Who would you trust ? And old member with zero trades but escrowed a large amount of BTC to facilitate a trade or bounty and never stole them, or relatively new member who completed a single but successful trade of over 50 btc ?


By definition trust has nothing to do with posting good content or being a higher ranked member.

But it does have to do with reliability, which IMO can only be proven with time
"firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something."


There are lower ranked member with more integrity than half of DT. Merit & trust are mutually exclusive and should remain so.
But they also have no reputation to lose. "To whom much is given, much more is tested"


The Trust system is obviously not perfect/might never be, but I do think it is work in progress. Eventually as times goes it'd come close to what  everyone most people are expecting.

This was a bad beat, Irving only played 14:17 minutes with 14 points, that's very accurate on him and he is a big loss for the team since
he did not play the entire game due to injury. If only he played, they could have easily bet the Clippers with a double digit went, it was nicely cap IMO but unexpected things happen like this, Irving is the main man in the team and when your main man is down, the entire team will be affected.


Hard to say it but we loss in this game, Final score is 123 - 112.  Cry Until next time


Irving's injury was duly felt, I just don't consider it enough excuse to blow up such a lead though..

I think something similar is happening between Rockets and OKC, Rockets at a point in the 2nd quarter had a 26 points lead and are now 5 behind in the 8th minute of the 4th quarter.

Hard to say it but we loss in this game, Final score is 123 - 112.  Cry Until next time

Hard to say simply because it could so easily have been a win for us, but we'll start again stronger tomorrow  Wink

This is crazy! With celtics up 30 points at one point the clippers have come back from the dead. I think they did it two times before when trailing by 20+ points in a last week.
Clippers have tied the game at 100 with half of the last quarter left.
I dont know if the line will cover this game.
Kyrie Irving went out of the game at the half with a knee sprain. Dont know if he will be available in their next game.
Clippers have Zubac from the lakers playing tonight.

It's crazy Indeed! But IMO Celtics just got too complacent and are on the verge of losing this. I think It should have been more about the right game management after a 30 points considering Clippers were even the underdogs before the match had started, You'd find it amazing that they scored more points in the 1st quarter than the 3rd and 4th Combined.

Hey! Fellas, another great win for us, congratulations once again.
I was a big busy so I could not give my advance pick early, sorry for that, I hope you can still ride on my pick today.

Alright, here we go with my little write up for today's game.

Today's game - LA Clippers +11.5 vs Boston Celtics -11.5

I find this one interesting tonight, and if you noticed, we are already comfortable with taking a high spread line and we will be taking
again on this game.

The Celtics loss their last game against the Clippers, it was an upset if you look at the line, and I think the Lakers that time was undervalued
since they got routed by the Pacers on their previous game.  This time, I believe the line is just fair as I wouldn't take the Celtics here if they are
favorites in less than 10 points.

It's going to be a bounce back game for the Celtics and it's already enough for me not to trust the Clippers the way they showed in their last game.
IMO, Celtics is a better team than the Pacers and they are coming off a loss, so it should be an easy win for them, double digit win is probable.

Pick - Celtics -11.5

There he comes!
I could say this literally is the reason why I was still awake!
Tailing!

Good luck to everyone...

Just finished watching Parma vs Inter. Finally, after three consecutive games without a win in the league, the Nerazzurri grabbed the 3 points with a 0-1, still, the team showed a very poor performance, tick tock Spaletti.

Also, Roma and Lazio won their respective match, meaning that AC Milan dropped to 6th place, but a win against Cagliari tomorrow means top 4 again. Seriously, the fight for that last Champions League spot is getting really intense.

The only fixture I found so annoying today was Fiorentina vs Napoli which ended goalless, I had expected(and placed a bet on) Napoli to win the match or at least score a goal.
7808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: February 09, 2019, 06:05:57 PM
So if you took those three teams on your parlay you got a good win today in the premier league! Wink

Yeah right, and of all those three teams, both Arsenal and Man Utd had a pretty decent odds @ 1.66 and 1.7 respectively, All 3 matches would yield an odd of nothing less than ~3.00 which is pretty a big one for stakers.
7809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: February 09, 2019, 04:36:13 PM
gonna be difficult but it surely can happen Roll Eyes

It's gonna be a tough match though, both teams have something at stake because Liverpool is leading against Bournemouth by 3 goals.
LFC is leaving it a bit late, but it's still a good response from the team after dropping back to back points.

But at the same time Nantes demand for transfer fee from Cardiff in such sad sad situation. Football is business, but it's not right time to talk about money...

I never heard about this before until just now, I decided to read up on it, I'm not sure where my stand about this is. I just think Nantes could have handled it more politely as a sign of respect to the deceased. But as you've said it's just about the business.

7811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: February 09, 2019, 01:18:38 PM
Is Lukaku on the pitch?  I don't see him around.  Lololol.

He's of a very small size, so he easily gets missing.

No Rashford ?, No problem! Man United are 2 nil up at half time already and up to 4th position (temporarily, provided Chelsea can defeat Man City tomorrow, which of course, I doubt!)
7812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: February 09, 2019, 07:18:51 AM
Anyone watching the game live?

I just check the live score and its 109-98 and Milwaukee is leading with 6 minutes left. I guess everyone is exciting if @stadus will continue his roll or not. Goodluck to everyone who tailed again.


The points spread was covered, and our flying start to this month continues, Thanks to the OP.


If there's no write up on the event, people will be in doubt to follow, although most of us are not good enough in sports betting
but we come up also with our own analysis and if we think OP's opinion is align to us, then we will become confident also.

I hope everyone is not just tailing blindly, OP could also be wrong, and there is no blaming here as we are not force to follow.

We can also fade if we are in doubt.

Yes, On some occasions, I've placed bet against his pick, I won some and lost some too. My main observation about his picks is that he doesn't made them based on any team's or match up popularity, That shows huge professionalism and won my trust over with his picks, although I still could have ulterior opinion to his picks in the future, I just want to enjoy this ride to the fullest.

Tomorrow's game -  Bucks -8 vs Dallas Mavericks +8

Their lack of presence inside is going to be their weakness and bucks will take advantage on that.


Pick - Bucks -8


Congrats to all those who tailed once again,
We are at 87.5%,  Let's keep moving  Tongue

Dorset Police declared yesterday that the body recovered from the plane wreckage earlier this was that of the Argentinian Striker, the body of the pilot on the other hand is yet to be found. According to news from Goal.com


It is said that Nantes will retire his number 9 jersey.

I think that's a great gesture from the club, even though the loss is irreplaceable.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid tomorrow.This is absolutely a big match for both side.Real Madrid is on very good phase now and will be wanted to win today at any cost.Any lose today, winning LaLiga will be impossible for Real Madrid. 

OTOH, Atletico will want to win of-course because they are just 5 points behind from Barcelona.If they lose today, it will be more difficult for them to catch Barcelona.     

Both team will want to win, Real Madrid would seem the better side due to their recent form but Atlético Madrid won't let their guard down either as they could risk losing their 2nd position. I expect an encounter shy of goals, a 1 - 1 draw, I guess.
7816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 08, 2019, 12:42:54 PM
The only real competitions lies between 3 - 6 positions and then the relegation battle.
The battle to get the last spots to european competitions always provide one hell of a show in this league. I remember last season where both Inter and Lazio had the same chance of qualifying to the Champions League, the last game of the season was between both teams and whoever won that match would automatically qualify to the CL, it was pretty much a "Serie A final" so to speak.

Sure, there isn't a title race, but right now, the gap between 3rd and 7th position in the league table is only 5 points, IMO that alone should give us a pretty good idea of how entertaining and competitive this league really is.

I'd have a loved to see AC Milan back in the Champions league next season but gradually they keep blowing their chances of securing a Champions league spot, Hopefully the addition of Piatek could help them secure one the remaining spots.

Good luck! I am following this topic from now on


Welcome aboard mate! Enjoy your ride with the OP

it's open now, are you referring to this?



Slightly Yes, That'd do too.
There's just a slight a difference between a handicap (points spread) with a whole number and with a decimal e.g.: 7.5 and 8 in Basketball, I'll try to see If I make an explanatory post for you.

EDIT:
When you go for a point spread with whole number such as +8 or -8, To win the bet your pick has to win by at least 9 points by the Maximum of 7 points difference for the bet to be won, Respectively. The only the difference in this kind of points spread is that there could be a draw, (Point spread tie or Push), That is, if you choose lets say the Bucks -8, and The final score is Bucks 100 - 92 Mavericks, Then it will be a draw with your bet refunded.

While if you go for the Bucks - 8.5, They have to win with at least 9 points more than the opponents in order to win the bet, in this kind of points spread there his no possibility of a draw or points spread tie.

I hope you get it now ?

Hey Juventus is the favourites to lift the cup, however I feel they’ll have stiff competition from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Barcelona. Also as you mentioned the Ronaldo factor definitely comes into play, he always steps up in big matches. Even I’m rooting for Manchester United to beat Psg, I do hope they can script history by winning the cup.

I don't know why, but I really don't see Juventus among the favorites to lift this year UCL trophy, maybe because I think they've not been tested this season, I'd choose Man City ahead of Juventus as a favorite to win the trophy, My favorite teams are Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Tomorrow's game -  LA Clippers +5.5 vs Indiana Pacers -5.5

Tobias Harris and two players from LA clippers was recently traded to Sixers for Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala and Landry Shamet, and it's confirmed that    M. Muscala and Chandler will not play for this game.

Tobias Harris for me is the main man of the Clippers since he is the leader in average points (20.9) and rebounds  (7.9), and his loss for the team is a big factor and we will be seeing that in the game against the Pacers.

Pacers on the other hand dominated the Lakers on their last game and I think that momentum will come to play this game.
I'm predicting that  the Pacers will win this game with at least 7+ points, so I'm leaning with them.


Pick -Indiana Pacers -5.5

Yeah, indeed if they set in with the same momentum as that of which they displayed against LeBron and Lakers in their last match, the points difference could hit double figures.
So, I'm tailing in line with OP!

Good luck to everyone!



My favorite match for today is actually the Portland Trailblazers vs Spurs, The OP got his first losing pick for the month tailing them in their last match against the heat where they lost and I think they will bounce back against the Spur tomorrow.

I'm going in on
Trailblazers -2 in the first quarter.

PS: I'm neither as good nor as professional as the OP at this, as such, my pick is most probably based on a hunch. If perhaps, you're going tail this, do so(gamble) wisely, please.
7820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 07, 2019, 10:19:16 PM
In my opinion As far as the Serie A is concerned the race for the 1st and 2nd positions are over already, The only real competitions lies between 3 - 6 positions and then the relegation battle.
