Two consecutive weeks that I get default points and I lost like 10-11 positions,it is the first time in so many years playing in this pool that I forgot two weeks in a raw to put the picks.Today it is a shame though as I just put a bet for fun all the Premier League games and it looks like I found all of them,including the Sheffield win.I am putting the bet ID here and I think that the Premier League is becoming very interesting with all the favorites winning their games while we need to wait and see what Arsenal will do tomorrow although most likely for me they will have an easy win.

I'll probably be nice enough to do a second reminder, but I found it didn't actually improve "attendance".
I agree.
Good thing that you dont have severe penalties or elimination for people who dont submit on time or totally forget to do it Wink

It is not going to be easy to catch up top players, so we need some big surprises and wins for underdog teams.


Well we are finally in the Champions League elimination stage and it looks like there will be this upcoming week.The games in theory are easy to predict yet I would not be so relaxed as most likely the surprise results won't be missing here.As always we have two different pools meaning we can opt for a different strategy in each one of them,in some pool to go with the flow with results that many expect to happen and in the other pool to go in a much more aggressive way regarding our bets,this I think is a good opportunity to try and not be left behind in both of the pools.Let's not forget that we need to put our picks for pool B before Tuesday.

Bayer Leverkussen played extremely well and crashed Bayern Munchen in this crucial game for the continuing fight for the title.I happen to watch some of the last minutes where Leverkussen scored the third goal and the nervous goalkeeper of Bayern Munchen by hitting the ball to the net in objection it showed just this,Bayer Leverkussen completely deserved this victory.

On the title fight it is now 5 points clear,Bayer Leverkussen and I think they are now calm and all the pressure will be on Bayern Munchen which can be a fact in favor of Leverkussen for the remaining part of the Bundesliga.

If suddenly you went on a binge-gambling out of a lack of self-control or something else. For example, you deposit money in rapid succession after a series of losses and the casino management freezes your account. And when you call their customer support, they tell you that your account has been frozen for 3 weeks and the reason why they carried out that measure was because they suspected that you were gambling irresponsibly and decided to take that measure so that you can call yourself back to order, will you feel furious, cuss out, sign out of your account and register on another casino and continue betting. Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling or betting addiction?

Good luck finding such casino  Grin.They will never limit any account which is losing money in succession as long as that means that this behavior is making money to them,even if it was me in the management of the casino I would not care much because I would assume the person has read the terms and conditions and also knows the odds are against them.Even such casino existed and this becomes mainstream still this does not resolve the irresponsible gambling or gambling addiction as even if the account is freeze of such person he will just move to another casino,so it won't work.

Nothing is easy to mine these days in the term that they don't give you any profit.Personally I mine only Raptoreum with some of my work PC-s and at home I only have a mining rig using it for Ethereum Classic + Zillica dual mining.I have read many threads here and saw that the suggestions here are about new coins while I prefer to keep solid ones with a huge background and a group supporting them rather than going to invest my time in trying these new coins.

If it is just a hobby project,anyone can experiment with their devices,if anyone is planning on being in profit when the time comes (Bitcoin new ATH) then it would be wise to start now if they haven't already to mine whatever coin they can with their devices that has a future.

Working for me as well, I bought some FUN tokens and after refreshing the page they were there. I buy a little FUN now and then, 13 sats is cheap, but I think I will buy more when I see the price below 10... maybe I am waiting for something difficult to happen, but who knows, sometimes I feel like the price of FUN tokens will never stop falling.

It will be as it will be, for now, it's nice to see that things are back to normal and that buying/selling tokens is working properly again.
FUN Token dropping below 10 satoshi is very possible but to be honest, I don't expect it to happen in the near future because I am waiting for all my locked tokens to mature and I can sell them immediately to hold more Bitcoin and gain profit when Bitcoin reaches its latest high price.
I agree that the price of FUN Token has the opportunity to continue to fall like other token markets whose prices will adjust to the increase in Bitcoin prices unless something surprising is developed by FUN so that investors see something interesting to be able to buy and hold this token again but currently nothing is visible other than premium membership.

As long as the FUN token has the possibility to be raised in value here I think you should wait for when the Bitcoin price goes down and the FUN price goes up (always in Satoshi talking) and you can make a lot more Satoshis by selling your FUN tokens here in the platform of Freebitco.in rather than selling them and hoping for a price increase,it is better to have accumulated more Satoshis from their sale and wait for the price increase which in this case you would be winning twice or as they say hit two birds with just one stone  Grin.

I also suggest to keep a small number of FUN like 5000-50.000 of them depending on how much one have so you continue to get the Premium benefits.

This were two lousy leaders in their primes who achieved nothing exceptional in their careers, particularly Garragher, who won nothing with Liverpool and was one of the shitty players I watched, yet whenever he speaks, you would think he won everything during his playing days. Sky sports pundits are a bunch of bitter English players that had a terrible career.
They crave the attention from social media. Carragher had a field day on his X account during that period, retweeting every thing in relation to their comments on the studio.

Gary Neville had a decent career at Manchester United, much better than Carragher had at Liverpool.

- Jay -

I don't think that Sky Sports only get mediocre players and Carragher was not that much of a mediocre player with Liverpool,may be he was there in the wrong time.Sky Sports also host Thierry Henry which was a legendary player with Arsenal who scored a lot of goals,the same can be said although in a much smaller scale for Joe Cole at Chelsea,so I don't think that Sky Sports chooses mediocre players to their analysis shows before and after the matches.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: February 09, 2024, 12:35:26 PM
Guys, do you often feel like me? when I raise the bet I lose and when I lower the bet I win. Does the casino system/algorithm know the betting patterns we make? So often when we bet big we are given a loss and when our bet is small we actually win, which is very annoying

I don't know if this applies to all games or not, but I feel like this often when playing table games. What do you think?

I would love to feel that feeling,even of a small win as I am losing in a constant way no matter if I bet big or not I always lose.The bad thing is that even if I add together like 6 sport events with odds less than 1.10 each event I still lose as some of these teams/players seem to lose no matter that low odd that they have.It looks like the worse luck is following me day by day so these last couple of days I have completely quit gambling.Let's see how much time I resist.

Gp of Britan will be in f1 for 10 more years, they just signed a new contract.

it will expire in 2034

The Silverstone Gp is a legendary track that during the years has seen quite a lot of changes and the passion there for motorsport is huge and never missing so for me it is only natural to have had such a big extension.This track to make an analogy is like the Monza Gp of Italy or Spa in Belgium,without such tracks the F1 season would not be the same.I though think that the design architects of the tracks can learn a lot from Nes/Snes games of the 90-s how a challenging track should be.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

I don't really have an habit to track my progress as most of the time it is regress  Grin.If I kept a tracking then I would have quit gambling so long ago.That is why I will never keep track of what happens to my gambling sessions,as long as I don't want to really quit gambling.This though is a great option for persons who are looking to quit gambling yet they can't,when they will look at such data they will surely have an impact when they see the amount of money gone.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: February 09, 2024, 07:45:04 AM
Many people think that gambling is a matter of luck in winning any bet. In my opinion, gambling depends on you yourself in determining the choices you want to play. Because gambling doesn't just rely on luck, but gambling also requires skills that you actually use in the game, so it will be very easy for you to make a profit in your bets. However, you need to remember that gambling carries a huge risk of losing money. Never judge that luck is always present in every gambling, because if you rely on luck it will definitely make you regret it later.

There is really no other thing needed except really great luck in gambling.You may think that it also depend on your choices and I assume you talk about sport betting or poker,yet in sport betting it is always the referee present who can make your choice go wrong by explicitly favoring a specific team over the other,so the only real game I think which gives your skills a chance is only poker as 80% of the cases is decided by your skills and 20% is the luck in the cards you receive.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How's problem gambling different from compulsive gambling. on: February 08, 2024, 03:33:11 PM
Was reading a gambling related article just this morning and it was talking on random issues cut across gambling responsibly, many of which I agree with.

However, there were two terms that were made mentioned of which stole my interest unfortunately they weren't explained but only mentioned. I could have just checked them on Google but I felt reluctant and said let me bring it to the community let make it a discussion among us. The two terms were Problem Gambling and Compulsive Gambling. I want to know if they are different in meaning and how different is their effect on their victims.

And moreso, there's a statement I read in the comment section which is in the quote below. I would love to have the views of slot lovers in the forum on this. How true is this statement.
Quote
All slot players are long term losers.

That last statement is not always true although it is true for 99.99% of the players.The rest,0.01% are the ones who have hit a huge multimillion dollar and whichever amount you have lost before it doesn't matter as long as you have not lost millions of dollars,rarely some people may have lost millions of dollar playing slot machines and those who have done so have done it through lots of years.So this statement is true for a huge majority but there is a great expection for the minority of 0.01%.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changing initial option and losing the bet on: February 08, 2024, 02:47:16 PM
As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding  a game  to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.


These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.

I also had this problem many times while I was betting through lotto clubs many year ago.I only learned a simply lesson from this,which is to never change your mind no matter what whispers come to your mind you should always stick loyal to your first decision as that is what usually will not make you have any regrets no matter the outcome because you didn't change anything.I think everyone should do that,to not have any regrets later.

Cristian Horner is a great team principal but it is not what is lacking at Ferrari during this time,what is lacking is a true aerodynamics engineer like Newey who happens to be already at Redbull.I also hope Horner joins Ferrari in 2025 as we want to see some competition yet I highly doubt that Redbull dominance will go away that fast,not at least until 2026 where the regulations will change.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: February 07, 2024, 09:17:36 AM
A lot have been told here already, but when speaking about gambling, I would suggest to keep advices and intentions to help someone in yourself. If persons needs something, he will ask for help without hesitation. Today people can google and find everything, people so used to searching in the internet, so it is hard to find someone who asks others for suggestion. Lately, nothing radically new were invented in gambling, and I guess everyone is already familiar with everything. So today, if someone approaches with intention to teach something or advice, people look on that person with cautious.

Some people always need advice as people may rush to gambling without googling first or making a small research before gambling.If you see anyone of them it is let's say a moral duty to just advice such persons by telling risks associated with gambling and especially to such persons to tell the odds that are totally against you when gambling slot machines or sport betting.I know we live in the Internet era yet some persons rush and do not care but soon they realize their mistake.

Barcelona and Atletico certainly did not expect to have a fate like this, they have to fight to get back up in the hunt for trophies which have been very difficult to achieve. Real Madrid are now relaxing at the top, even though every week they are almost disturbed by Girona. The points gap will likely continue to grow as the season progresses. However, Girona deserve praise for being so consistent this year, they are playing great with the mentality of an elite club, and they have a chance of appearing in the Champions League next season. With Barcelona and Atletico experiencing unstable times, everything looks easy for Madrid to lift the trophy at the end of the season. Barcelona failed to defend their title, and Xavi raised the white flag before the season ended.
Girona has been fantastic this season in La Liga; even though they missed out on winning the La Liga title this season, they will surely qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. Girona can overtake Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table if they can win against Real Madrid in their next game. Barcelona are looking like people who will have hope to challenge for the La Liga title if they can continue to be consistent because they are 8 points behind Real Madrid.
Girona can maintain its position to get a ticket to the UCL next season, I think that makes sense but wouldn't you be surprised if a promoted team could surprisingly get a ticket to the UCL?
If you can get a ticket to UCL, I don't think Girona will be able to get through the group stage because mentally Girona is not yet ready enough.
and to win the title in La Liga eliminating Real Madrid, for me it is impossible unless a miracle comes while Barcelona performance has started to improve.
I really appreciate Girona performance but believe me competing with the 2 big La Liga teams will not be that easy even though they will compete against Real Madrid. I don't think Girona will be able to beat Real Madrid because Girona was previously beaten by Real Madrid at that time.
Surely, I'm already surprised by Girona's performance this season, and they will make it to next season's UEFA Champions League. If Girona plays well in next season's UEFA Champions League group stage and wins their matches, nothing will stop them from not qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League; even Leicester City qualified for the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League when they won the Premier League trophy.

The day is coming for the decisive battle between Real Madrid and Girona and Real Madrid who plays at home can be happy with a draw though they will push hard for the win as this would give them the needed confidence and relief level needed to win the La Liga.In this game all the pressure is on Girona who should win at all cost this game to keep the title fight more open than ever in La Liga.

In Champions it will depend who other teams they have in their group,Leicester qualified because of being in an easy group.

By the way FIA have made some significant changes for 2024 season.

Source: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-sprint-race-weekend-format-reshuffle-2024/10572695/

First of all, sprint week format has changed. Now sprint weekends look like this:

Friday

Free Practice 1
Sprint Qualifying

Saturday

Sprint Race
Qualifying

Sunday

Race

It hasn't ended yet.  Smiley  There is a regulation about DRS and power units also. As of the new season DRS is going to be enabled after only 1 lap. Moreover drivers are going to be able to use 4 power units in total in 2024 and 2025 seasons too.

Honestly I think now drivers are at a bigger risk. Because if they make a big mistake during the sprint race the whole weekend can turn into a nightmare for them.  Sad

The only good thing out of this is the possibility to be able to use DRS directly after just one lap.This in theory should make races more interesting to watch,especially in the short tracks where most cars even the dominating ones cannot really put an over 1 second distance in this very first lap.Also the backpack will have more battles and I think FIA has finally hit something right with this new rule.I look forward to such new implementations and emotionful races.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 07, 2024, 07:44:24 AM
Even though De Rossi has succeeded in achieving positive results, I am still not sure he will be able to repeat the success like Jose Mourinho. De Rossi has not yet received the real test and perhaps Inter Milan will be the first test he must pass. I don't think De Rossi will be able to beat Inter but he certainly has a chance and if that mission is successful maybe he will be hailed by fans as the right person to replace Jose Mourinho.
This is not only about opportunities for this season, but also about the strengths that exist within each respective team and as has been seen so far, Inter Milan is indeed in quite good condition so whoever the coach of AS Roma, I think it will still be quite difficult to beat Inter Milan, who are quite talented. AS Roma must realize that their home match this weekend is quite a tough match considering that the opponent is Inter Milan, so being able to get a draw is already extraordinary for AS Roma, but I also have doubts about that because Inter Milan will still trying to win in order to make a point gap with his current rivals.
It won't be easy for Derossi to make AS Roma win when they face Inter because we are all aware that Inter strength is much more balanced than AS Roma as well as the depth of players because Inter has Martinez who is very productive in scoring opportunities and Inter's defense is very strong so it's not easy. AS Roma advantage in beating Inter is that AS Roma chance is only a draw, but Inter will not allow that because Inter wants to continue to maintain a long distance from Juventus.
This is the real test for De Rosi. In his first 4 games with Roma (3 in Serie A and 1 in a friendly) everything went very well for De Rosi and of course this provided a very good situation for Roma because with their 3 consecutive wins in Serie A they were able to immediately jump to 5th place in the standings which was even sometimes difficult to reach for Mou at the beginning of this season.

However it is clear that their opponents are not strong opponent and Roma are always favorites in every match but this match against Inter is different.
Inter are in a very high stage of dominance and Inter game is always unstoppable by its opponents and this is a test for De Rosi whether in the end he can maintain his winning streak or this could make the momentum that Roma has gotten so far back into trouble. 

It is going to lose this one Roma.Inter in head to head matches has always come victorious against Roma even in times when Inter was not as performant as Inter is now.Of course you cannot expect Roma and De Rossi to continue their performance against Inter as they simply have not the quality of players to do so,even with ex Inter Lukaku I don't think they will come with a victory in this game.Inter will not let slip the opportunity to win the Serie A after beating Juventus surely they won't be held by Roma.

Manchester City seems to be playing much better with Kevin De Bruyne returning to the team after recovering from an injury. Even though Manchester City did fall behind by a goal against Brentford yesterday, they are still able to retain most of the ball possession with their passing game and eventually scoring 3 goals past Brentford to claim a nice victory. With just 16 remaining games left for Manchester City to play in this season, the return of Kevin De Bruyne are definitely a huge boost to the team overall attacking power.
De Bruyne is indeed able to move Man City's attack line to be better than when he was not there. So when he is on the field, the flow of attacks built by Man City seems to be better than before. Currently Haaland has also returned to playing. But he seems to need time to adapt again after he was absent for several weeks due to injury.

But so far Man City has an increasingly good chance of reclaiming the top position in the standings. Now everything will depend on Liverpool's performance. whether Liverpool will be careless or not in the remaining matches this season.

Now it is open,wide open the Premier League after Liverpool was defeated by Arsenal.Now Manchester City has real chances of bouncing back yet I think despite the lost game against Arsenal,Liverpool is still the strong contender to win the title.They have been the most consistent team no matter this bad last game they had.Most likely the players of Liverpool have been impacted by Klopp decision to leave though I think in the upcoming games they will start winning again.
