Probably something at EURO 2016. Russian fans are able to sneak in fireworks, Croatian fans got on the field. Security must be pretty shit.

I'm a bit skeptical about Germany's case. I'm thinking about Germany +1, but odds are quite low, so I'm tempted about Germany, but Ukraine is very goaly and strong. What are your advices guys ?

You might be right, I'm just going with germany for loyalty reasons ^^
Germany place a passing game. You never know when the will score a goal.
Yeah basically this. Germany are very focused on simply maintaining possession, not creating aggressive opportunities. Just take ML in most cases.

Who do people have for ESL today?

I've got C9 +2.5 rounds over nV and Gambit ML over G2.

I'm not 100% on the Gambit line, but I think it has a solid chance of happening and the odds were good (3.97:1)

The only way to get rich from gambling is to learn to recognize that you've made a good run and to cool off for a short while. Almost anyone can intuit a good bet, based on knowledge and decent odds. The issue is that many people fall into the hot-hand fallacy and then begin to believe that they can continue on this hot streak, they just need to bet again right now because they're winning. This is almost never the case. A smart gambler will sit back and say "I made good calls, I got decent earnings. Let's just wait a few days for good odds"

Wow, big surprise from VP beating Secret like that. Very impressed at their ability given their inexperience together.

Despite their loss, I was surprised at TL's performance against NiP today. They looked strong with the new lineup and performed very well. I definitely see them beating Cloud9 tomorrow if they retain their form. C9 are looking very weak and their executes are ill-timed.

For tomorrow's Dota matches, I'm going to say Liquid and OG are winners.
Liquid have better teamfight than EG. Their laning is constantly improving, where they currently lack in comparison to EG. They should be able to take the series 2-1.
OG... just going by feel. It has no factual or statistical basis, but I just feel that they can perform when necessary.
Wow, 3 for 3 today! Very satisfied. Unfortunately, I am a bit strapped on cash, so haven't been placing big bets. Very happy with the OG result.

For tomorrow:
Complexity > Virtus.Pro. I believe that Complexity are able to handle VP's aggressive style. They can be just as unpredictable, even more so. Col have excellent team cohesion and are a very momentum based team. Their successes thus far bode well for them and should give them the boost to overcome VP.
 
Alliance > Secret. I have lost faith in Secret after yesterday's matches. They appear to be in a slump and tilt very hard in-game. Alliance are still very strong in this meta and can come from behind far better than Secret.

SKT > Royal: Obvious

Ah! 3 for 3 again!

For today/tomorrow:
EG > Complexity
OG > Liquid
CLG > Flash Wolves
LG > NiP
G2 > Fnatic
3/5. Not bad, not great. Big surprise from Complexity and congratulations to them. And also, fantastic play from G2. They really hung in there when it mattered.

For tomorrow:
Newbee > OG. I think that OG played very well against Newbee the last time, but I don't think that it will happen again. Newbee adjusted their play and tightened up. Also, the loss to Liquid was telling of some fundamental weaknesses in OG's playstyle.
Liquid > Either. Liquid are on a great tear and have really come together as a team.
SKT > CLG
LG > G2

I think I originally heard about it from a fellow at work in 2011(?) and looked into it a bit. I've always been shit with computers, so I didn't seriously get into it until early 2013.

Buying "high quality" Cheesy bonds is the worst advice ever. While I agree that stock markets could drop soon, because valuations are historically high and the economic situation is not really improving, investing the money into bonds is outright lunacy. Bonds are the biggest bubble of all, especially government bonds.

Western governments are more indebted than ever before. Yet their bonds pay no significant or even negative interest. One of the reason: Central banks are buying the debt with freshly printed money. Bonds may be rated "AAA", but in fact most of them are junk. No one in his right mind would invest in bonds - well... except bankers... Cheesy

The most reasonable alternative to stocks are precious metals and Bitcoin.

ya.ya.yo!
You are correct. Debt to GDP ratios are skyrocketing and your "high quality" bonds are last ditch attempts to stabilize economies. The bond market is over-saturated and is propped up on extremely low-yield bonds that traders are now scrambling to sell. These low yields are the only way that the governments can maintain the illusion of a robust economy. Now is a massive crash coming? Most likely not. But a massive slowdown and global recession is almost guaranteed to occur this year. Look to China to trigger this downward spiral, followed by Japan.

Think some of you have little experience with psychedelics and are presuming they work the same way a opiate like cocaine or meth would work. No one gets addicted to mushrooms,LSD or any other form of psychedelics it just does not happen that way.
That's a very broad and bold statement. I personally know several people who have become helplessly addicted to psychedelics and are constantly yearning for their next trip. They feel lost in reality. It's just fried brain, need the new stimulation at all times. It's sad, honestly.
Psychedelics are just as dangerous as other drugs.
Would you start snorting a bit of cocaine every time you needed to get through a long problem set or finish a presentation?

I think you must be using a different criteria for drug categories. Cocaine is not a psychedelic, so It does not apply to the topic.
Can you tell me the psychedelic drug your friends became addicted to?
As for the sad part, we are talking about a very minute amount to stimulate the brains network, its not to get high but seen as body hacking.
The very broad and bold statenent is based on the responses about addiction. Any one that has done pscychedelics will agree.

I was using cocaine as a point of comparison. Poorly worded, didn't mean to imply it was a psychedelic (obviously isn't). What I meant was, you likely wouldn't take another type of drug on this regular a basis as these articles suggest LSD.
2 friends to acid (or research chemicals meant to mimic it, i.e the 2c family), 1 to DMT, 1 to a mixture of mushrooms, LSD, 25i, and occasional DMT. The last one is the most foregone. Poor bloke is always tripping or smoking large amounts of spice/weed/salvia to break from reality (mostly tripping these days).

Hillary is going to torpedo the country. Our only hope is that she's so impaired that her aides will be running the country while keeping up the facade.

Her girlfriend (Huma Abedin) will run the country by proxy. It is scary because Huma is known to be an active sympathizer of the ISIS. She is also very close to various members of the Saudi Royal Family, and businessmen such as Al-Waleed bin Talal. If something like this happens, then the United States will disintegrate for sure.

Wow, I did not know Huma was a lesbian, but considering she married Anthony Weiner, I don't blame her.

If it is true that Hilary and Huma are a couple, that is a scary thought.  Huma was raised in Saudi Arabia.


This is what people say about harpy, she goes both ways. To be so close to her boss may require her to do some deep maintenance from time to time. No proofs of that as far as I know...



Lesbian rumours have been following Hillary for decades. If you know anyone in Washington from the 90s, they'll talk about it. I don't put any stock in them, nor do i really care, but Abedin would definitely have a large amount of influence in the Clinton Administration. Especially when she's incapacitated by her stroke damage.  Huh
