Doreen, Durin or Dorin?

I thought this was funny, someone is copy-pasting articles but obviously their text spinning service is having difficulties rephrasing names.

 
Doreen Nakamoto later vehemently denied any involvement in the creation of bitcoin.

There are many more secrets, and they are not all just about Durin, and I think we all knew that.

Just focusing on Dorin was not very satisfying; There are definitely more tips and I really hope to be able to publish them as well.

Feel free to report their account, i already have two good reports on this guy, not sure why mods insist on not banning him. Plagiarising monkey.  Undecided

After 19 matches i finally managed to get my first exact result yay (Leicester 2:1 win). edit; i had one already (guess i was just too excited).
It would have been even better if United didn't score as i had their game 2:2. You know what they say: "Play until the final whistle!", my ass, not anymore i guess.
I wouldn't be so upset right now if Brighton won that game, they should've scored 4+ on that poor man's United team. How many times did they hit the post, i counted 5? Lol

Suprised to see no one picking Frankfurt for tonight and we even only have one X, the rest home win. I picked home win as well, but not tooooooo sure with that one Cheesy

Why did you have to jinx it like that?  Cheesy  buwaytress' 453+ BTC ticket is no longer a thing.  Cry
I mean is there anything worse than getting the very first match wrong?

By the way, i found a small miscue within your table, you've marked big_daddy's Watford-Luton prediction as a 2, but he has Watford to win.  
As i said earlier i'm the only one backing Watford to lose points tomorrow. Luton, please don't embarrass me in front of everybody! Lol

edit; Sarr is in the starting lineup and Deeney on the bench, so much for Luton and my prediction

The French branch of Just Eat online food ordering service has started accepting bitcoins for on-demand orders from more than 15,000 French restaurants. As it turns out, Justite uses the services of the Bitpay payment company to activate this feature.

The outbreak of the coronavirus and the requirement of quarantine regulators and social distancing rules have led to a growing wave of demand for online food ordering services. At the same time, the use of cash declined.

In an interview with the media, Gregory Raymond, author of the French publication, said:
Just eat is one of the main players in the food ordering and delivery industry in France, and its action to expand the acceptance of digital currencies can help to learn the use of these emerging currencies among members of society.

Original:

Food delivery service Just Eat France has started accepting Bitcoin payments for orders placed from over 15,000 restaurants in the country. The delivery service is using Bitpay as its Bitcoin payment provider.

Home delivery services have been in high demand during the coronavirus pandemic, as lockdown orders and social distancing regulations have forced customers out of sit-down restaurants. At the same time, the use of cash is declining.

“Just Eat is a major player in the delivery of meals in France; this initiative could help to democratize the use of cryptocurrencies among the general public,” Gregory Raymond, writer for French publication Capital.fr, told Decrypt.

McGrath Goodman is a distinguished reporter who has won awards in his career and has published articles in prestigious publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and the Guardian. In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, he explained that he now has new information about Nakamoto's identity and intends to write more about it.

When it was understood that Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, who was at the top of the agenda with the news he made in 2014, but 64-year-old Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto had nothing to do with Satoshi, the real creator of Bitcoin, a new Satoshi statement came from the journalist who caused an investigation against Newsweek.
As it will be remembered, Dorian Nakamoto, who was heavily influenced by the media due to the name resemblance at that time, stated that he had no contribution in the creation of Bitcoin, although he admitted his identity.

At the time, Leah McGrath Goodman, who made the news and published award-winning news in media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and The Guardian, participated in the podcast of Morgan Creek Digital’s co-founder Anthony Pompliano and explained that she reached more information on the subject:

I would say there is a 99.9% probability, F_Societys to be an alt of an already banned account called BTCWALK, which i reported for text-spinning back in August.
What they do is steal technical analysis, online articles, use text-spinners, and post them as their own. You guys should not warn them but straight up report them.

Both accounts like to add the following text:

This analysis is my personal opinion. And as you know, no analysis is 100% correct. be Lucrative &successful

This is also a personal opinion analysis and I am happy to share your opinions.

BTCWALK was banned 8/21/2020 but their last forum visit was 4 days later, 8/25/2020
F_Societys registered their account 8/25/2020 (15min difference between BTCWALK last visit and the time F_Societys created their account).

Today it is the WK time trial in Italy.

I couldn't watch anything today, just 10min, around Bodnar's start, i guess it was pretty fun watching them race/finish on Imola?!

I am thinking about placing some bets for the top 3: Van Aert @2.25

Congrats if you took Van Aert for top3, this dude is something else, with basically no time to rest after the Tour.


Ineos latest additions for 2021 season: Richie Porte, Dani Martinez, Laurens de Plus, and Tom Pidcock. Pretty stacked up team, i think they signed Adam Yates back in August too, so yeah...good luck everyone else.  Cool

I can't believe i'm the only going against Watford in this round. They kind of sucked against Boro' despite winning, equalized in the 90th min against Oxford (carabao cup), lucky they didn't get a couple of goals in the first half against Sheffield Wed and got eliminated midweek by a League two team (Newport)...not a great start of the season imo. I wanted to go with Luton to win, but since everyone's taking Watford here, even bookies have them @1.50, i had to go with a draw instead. If Luton wins, i will take it as a moral victory  Cheesy

Interesting to point out is that we don't have French matches for some reason, not that i'm complaining, i'd prefer Serie A or EPL over Ligue 1, anyway here's my picks:

Hertha BSC - Eintracht Frankfurt
Eibar - Athletic Bilbao draw
Brighton & Hove Albion - Manchester United draw
Bayer 04 Leverkusen - RB Leipzig
Watford - Luton Town draw
West Bromwich Albion - Chelsea
Inter - Fiorentina
Burnley - Southampton
Real Betis - Real Madrid
Napoli - Genoa
1899 Hoffenheim - Bayern München
Manchester City - Leicester City
Galatasaray - Fenerbahçe
Roma - Juventus
Barcelona - Villarreal

Fitzmagic vs. Minshew Mania, the facial hair showdown on TNF  Grin

Probably not the matchup everyone wants to see but at least it's going to be a high scoring game, 300+ passing yards and multiple touchdowns each.
I have two prop bets, James Robinson over 72.5 rush yards and Gesicki over 55.5 receiving yards, have of both of them in my fantasy team this week, i hope i don't get double the disappointment tonight lol  They did well over the weekend though:

- J.Robinson 16CAR, 102YDS, 1TD vs. Titans
- Gesicki 11 TGTS, 8REC, 130YDS, 1TD vs. Bills

edit; both bets lost, Jags with and without DJ Chark are two totally different things...no deep threat for Minshew to throw to.
I'll take the 30.90 fantasy points for James Robinson though (he was projected only 12.6), what a steal...

These two teams, Heat and Celtics play so much zone defense, one just have to take advantage of the open corner 3s and the rebounds  Grin




I will probably add Crowder for gm5, dude has been missing so many open ones (3/17 last two games), and his are just wiiide open spot up 3s.
I wish Celtics to take the next two, these series have been extremely profitable for me, i don't want to be over in 5. hehe
Props to Tyler Herro, he was just unbelievable!

So this is why Herbert started in for Taylor on Sunday against the Chiefs:

Quote
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Chargers' team doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod Taylor’s lung while trying to administer a pain-killing injection during pregame warmups in Week 2.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29952469/chargers-qb-tyrod-taylor-lung-punctured-team-doc-sources-say

I was surprised to see Herbert play, i don't think anyone expected him to play, and the announcers didn't specify why Tyrod was out before the start of the game.
From what i'm reading Taylor had to go to the hospital later that day to get treatment and is likely out for the near future. If yall remember he was the Browns starting QB in 2018 but had an injury, i think concussion, and that was it for him in Cleveland....tough luck!
1931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ BitcoinPRBuzz.com's ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: September 22, 2020, 06:57:15 PM
Decent start for me, i got all games correct except for Sassuolo, them scoring under 2 goals is the most shocking and unexpected thing that happened over the weekend.

Did you read the news about Roma:

Roma have been punished with a 3-0 defeat for fielding an ineligible player against Hellas Verona in their Serie A opener on Saturday.

Does that mean Superbru has to adjust the game result/scores for everyone? I'm asking because i have 1 point out of this match and i don't want to give it away.  Cheesy

We are currently working on a new feature allowing players to easily share their betslips with friends and other communities online.

We might be getting a new website feature soon! I know this was requested multiple times in the past, glad that Sportsbet pays attention and tries to improve on things.
Sometimes it's hard to screenshot a 10 team parlay or type it out, a feature like this will definitely make our lives, bettors, easier.
Can't wait to share my winning parlays with the world.  Grin

Can't access the leaderboard, but were 10 correct ones enough for the top ?

For top 50 yes, for winning the multi master no, someone has 12 correct predictions, followed by 15 guys with 11. Sociedad/Real Madrid hasn't been added yet.
I got 4/5 today, that's probably the best Sunday performance i've ever got. So glad, that the top leagues are back, it's just so much easier and fun to predict and then to follow up on the matches.

nevermind, solo winner with 12
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 20, 2020, 09:18:58 PM
My parlay lost but that comeback by the Cowboys was crazy though.

Highlights won't do it for me, i need to find and watch the whole game, down 20pts after the 1st Q, and then win it on a long field goal in the last seconds, not bad even for Dallas.

The goddamn Dolphins ruined on of my parlays with last minute TD, down 11  Angry.  My main ticket hit though, was not expecting Jags to score 30 on Tennessee but glad that they hold off the win.

So many injuries around the league today, Saquon is probably out for the year, 49ers have multiple players going down, Garoppolo, Bosa and Mostert. Well, that didn't stop them from destroying the Jets, wonder when are they going to fire Adam Gase?

ps. Chargers new stadium looks amazing!
1935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 20, 2020, 04:01:05 PM
I have Packers, Bills, Steelers, Titans and Tompa Bay Gronkaneers moneylines in my first ticket.
Packers -5.5 + Bills -4.5 (Detroit are missing a few key guys here including Golladay, i'm also not sure why oddsmakers have Dolphins so close at -4.5?!
And two prop bets, Valdes-Scantling O27.5 receiving yards (had 96 against Vikings last week) and Ronald Jones O61.5 rushing yards, Panthers couldn't stop Josh Jacobs (3TDs) unlikely to get better results today.
1936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: September 20, 2020, 12:43:14 PM
I can't believe nobody here picked Tottenham to win except for me, cutting Trofo's lead to just one game, i absolutely need Liverpool to win.
Southampton with that high defense line, not sure what they are thinking but nothing good will come out of it, Son with 4 goals so far, 4 assists for Kane and all 4 goals look exactly the same. Oh and Kane got one...what a beat down.
1937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Esports Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 19, 2020, 10:07:48 PM
i'll be following Heroic - OG (O2.5 maps), i'm expecting a close match
EDIT* OGarbage, ffs! go back to Nine to Five and Eden Arena



Same pick as you, and a third straight losing ticket this week for me (1-4 overall), previous two lost thanks to the unpredictable mousesports (who by the way beat Vitality today and qualified for the playoffs)...strange times! ESL Pro (EU) playoff phase will resume on 29th, so i think i will take that week off to clear my head. hehe
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: September 19, 2020, 09:41:27 PM
Trofo you have 4 draws out 6 games tomorrow

I think he has three draws tomorrow, you haven't marked the Sheff W. vs Watford (0:0) match, which of course Trofo have also picked correct. Tongue
I wish i stayed away from backing Köln, they kinda sucked bad at home after the restart a few months ago, just draws and losses, and they are still not allowed to have fans there, bad pick on my side...meh
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Cycling Thread on: September 19, 2020, 04:27:34 PM
What just happened?  Shocked

I swear this was the best TT i've seen recently, maybe ever, so much drama for the tour and stage win, top3, polka dot, absolutely insane.
One bad day and you lose everything, after you and your team have completely dominated throughout these three weeks.
Congrats to the young Slovenian, he did it! He will be the first rider since Merckx to win the yellow jersey, polka dot and the jersey for under 25 in the same tour/year.
Porte also had a great day and made the podium, i'm really happy for him!

look at W. Van Aert and Dumoulin's faces: https://i.ibb.co/17RHcjH/dfzhdhf.jpg (image source: https://www.eurosportplayer.com/)

hehe that gotta hurt...


So I think Roglic with his team will try to make something today even if it's almost hopeless.

That's not how it works, the final stage is always a parade, there will be only champagne toasts and pictures taken between the riders, and of course a Champs-Élysées sprint. Jumbo-Visma and Roglic will be chilling in the main group, licking their wounds... Grin
 
1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Cycling Thread on: September 18, 2020, 06:50:00 PM
The yellow jersey race is pretty much over, it's been over for at least two weeks now, Jumbo-Visma are just better than everyone else, so is Roglic.

Sagan has to settle with either 2nd or 3rd place for the green jersey, after winning 7 of the 8 previous editions, but not this year...

The polka dot jersey is still up for grabs, Pogacar is just two points behind Carapaz and with 10pts given at the final climb tomorrow at La Planche des Belles Filles, anything can happen.

Richie Porte has a chance to finish third, he is way better than Miguel Angel Lopez at individual time trial but can he make up for 1'40 deficit? If it was longer TT with no climbs, i would probably say yes, but the one that we have tomorrow, we are unlikely to see a change in top3.
