@everyone yeah, toma's form is right up there with crazy City/Liverpool dominance in the EPL over past few seasons. Once you pop, you can't stop. I've been languishing in my current position or thereabouts for months now. Seems so long ago when I was in a prize-winning spot eh heh. Now all I can think of is getting yellow caps.
0.1 BTC though. Phew.

Heartbreak. We had first Melbourne win the game for us late, then Hungary winning the 4th leg by scoring in final minute first-half injury time, and then the last leg Communicaciones were leading 2-1 until... 90th minute. No matter. We get our bet back so lose nothing, isn't free insurance nice? 100 units at Sportsbet on Melbourne City, Angkor Tiger and RB Bragantino -1 AH HT @12.80. Forgot to take other odds oops. Running advantage after 286 bets: +19,322 (+0) All-time cumulative: +56,870 Running units after 285 bets (394W|241L): +9,339 (-0)

It's discussed often enough in the different bookmaker threads you'll find here, and it depends largely on the odds provider which markets have an edge over others. The bookie I use for the majority of bets, for example, offer slightly better odds on Asian handicaps, but you're right, you often find huge discrepancies on what I call "exotic markets" like No 1st Goal instead of 0-0. It's probably because they're less popular markets so the odds don't shift as much as the volumes come in.
Also on correct scores or goals the "all other results" markets can be a lot more value than 8+ goals, for example. Not that I ever take those odds, but yeah, it's always good to spend a few extra minutes shopping around for value.

Betslip ready for later. I don't like our chances on this game since England is way too good defensively and others say Lewandowski isn't playing but we'll see if England alone could put up enough points. Forgot to copy my betslip, but it's in all the same. I've got a surprising number of bets riding on this match today, wasn't even considering them at all until this morning. MLs, Betbuilders, Superboosts, and now this one. So far 0 points from 15 minutes but already possession is dominated by the English, and multiple fouls flying in from Poland. Maybe we see Poland rack up the cards? Ha. Hoping to see another 9 points by HT. I always figure we have better chances as more cards and corners happen in 2nd half as teams get tired!

What a coincidence! I actually put a cheeky bet last week on Boston Red Sox as the slight underdog in training with Tampa Bay -- and they ended up winning. All my baseball knowledge comes from TV and Liverpool owners' association with Red Sox (them ending their 80+ year wait for the WS is still one of the greatest sporting stories in modern times however you look at it!). Almost every movie I think in the 1980s and 1990s if they ever went to the future would ask if Red Sox had won it yet haha.
Let's see what MLB newbie luck can do for me!

StupidbetsRus radioing in. Poland is without their main striker Lewandowski so that is a big hit for them. Head to head is also firmly on England side, they never lost against Poland and they have 4 wins from last 6 games. Should be enough to push them over the line, especially on home turf.
I know I'm an idiot and even with Lewie it would be tough but I watched the odds anyway and managed to spread my bet to secure 11/1 on Poland to win, and then Superboost 5.45 for a draw. So effectively 75/10 odds on x2 double chance... I can't see England losing this at all but I don't know, with them yet to stumble, this could be it. I actually am at a real loss with bets. Hard for me to really predict form in internationals when they don't even guarantee same players and formations.

^ leea yeah, I'm actually ashamed I've been not picking the right teams in this tourney, especially having bet a lot on teams like Lux before the finals. Although on the African continent I've been eyeing some good runs of form for island nations like Madagascar and Comoros (also having such a blast).
Anyway, so good to see SB do that matching offer with Saints. They were in a lot of charity matching events last year too, it's good to see them give back in these tough times. Gotta remember where we are.

I knew you guys were big hitters (rdbase, Trofo) but I didn't imagine you were doing it regularly month on month;) I do know the threads here are pretty full of bullshitters but I definitely also know who the real McCoys are, glad to be gnawing at the bit alongside you legends heh.
igehhh oh, wouldn't want to challenge you =D I suck big time at Betbuilder. I honestly don't believe I've ever won anything bigger than 4/1 or 5/1. I always seem to want to insist on a goalscorer bet which is actually poor value in BB.

At the same time, don't let that get in the way of you getting in now. It's never too late, that's the singular lesson of the past 12 years. Missed the 2010 boat? So did 99% of us. Missed the 2014 boat? So did 90% of us. Missed the 2017 boat? So did the majority of us. Missed this 2020/21 boat? So will 99% of the world.
Don't keep letting regret get in your way =)

Yeah, I just love those "friends" I meet on facebook. And I love telling advice to random people on what to do with their money, because either they follow what I say and blame me for shit that eventually happens, or they do the complete opposite of what I say and I get to tell them "I told you so". I think people should be allowed to let nature take its course. How else do we have a vibrant Bitcoin market? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

That did not go well yesterday, Slovenia and Russia both crashed out to supposedly inferior opponent, but no worries, we do like a pause in between big wins, heh heh. So let's go back to some more HT wins and hope our Hungarian and Scottish boys get some joy early on! Another 100 units at Sportsbet with a 5-leg boosted insured bet: HT wins for Hungary+Scotland, plus wins for Communicaciones, S Melbourne and Oaklake Cannons @13.25. Other odds: 12.54 Units advantage: 71 Running advantage after 285 bets: +19,322 (+71) All-time cumulative: +56,870 Running units after 284 bets (394W|240L): +9,339 (-100)

Guys don't forget to claim clubhouse rewards as they expire and disappear tomorrow!
Now that you mention the clubhouse I can't wait for the first monthly raffle that's scheduled next Monday. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Absolutely me too! In case anyone's wondering about this, it's just a random raffle to win loads of cash prizes with no strings attached. Just get into the Silver tiers and up and you are automatically entered into the monthly draw. Higher tiers, higher rewards (and more winning draws and I guess fewer people to be drawn into raffle with!). GL, maybe one of us again gets the lovely btc;)

Guys don't forget to claim clubhouse rewards as they expire and disappear tomorrow! Please I can't find it on my sportsbet app or do i need to update my app? I'm a lover of betbuilder contest please guard met through let me get on it. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Saw you in the chat (welcome) so I guess you found your way in;) Try and beat my Match of the Day Betbuilder at 13/1;) Very interesting these 0.25mBtc bets.However I am curious are they all regarding sport bets or if we win this bet we can convert it to free spins to play in certain slots? In case is only about sport betting it would be nice to add an option to convert these free bets in free spins.
They're freebets, to be used on sports, like all the other freebets ever given out during the years SB's been around here. Suppose they won't mind giving slot spins but hey, this is Sports Club Talk ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The thing with all this is that you need to go through all this AND trust that: - the letters and numbers are indeed real and the author hasn't also changed a few of them for trolling - the author won't move the coins tomorrow or in the next hours, making all your effort a waste
Doing this for 100$ based on a post created by a newbie? Who is going to be tying this will do it out of boredom rather than for the reward
Most valid comment I have seen in a while. I don't knock people, and it's nice if it's $10 or $100, but you have no idea if this is a troll, so yeah, whoever's gonna do it won't be doing it for the reward, just for the pure sake of being bored. There's no bragging rights either as there's no puzzle to solve, no IQ to claim. Good luck still, hope someone has fun.

Hoo wow morvillz, you da man really. Won MM 4 times, and 2 of it being the last two? That's 0.683 btc from 4 winnings, since the earlier rounds were 0.3 btc. Well bloody done, who says it doesn't pay to be careful with your picks (or not haha). I feel honoured to be rubbing shoulders with greats.
BTW guys. If you haven't already, Club Talk launched on Sportsbet -- bottom right corner, next to betslip. Drop in and say hello. There's a nice Betbuilder contest for Club Talk peeps for those asking about Betbuilder;) 1st game's Belgium-Belarus so plenty of time!

This is the thing people need to understand, localbitcoins in most cases is faster than anything and the older players in the game that used it for years have built trust relations you will never achieve with a platform
And features? What features do I need? I want to exchange my coins for fiat, that's what I want and I couldn't care one bit about margins, defi, investment or any other crap and I will always choose the one that has worked flawlessly for years.
Sometimes I think a lot of the people here have never truly delved into the Bitcoin economy. They've never used a wallet properly. Never actually bought or sold anything for Bitcoin. Just speculated and traded on CEXs. That's why it doesn't make sense to them. And they've drank up the CEX or defi kool-aid about "easier cheaper faster 100%APY". So using actual p2p and interacting with other people, other Bitcoin traders? They can't imagine it.
