Damn, forgot to submit my picks again. I'm horrible at these things - too many pools I'm currently participating in. No surprise I'm in last place, for Monaco I submitted 5 min before the race when I saw the DM from 1miau. Well, free money for the winners I guess  In here when you forget to make your picks you pay a huge price as in the end of the pool points won from a race which is a minimal of 8-9 if you just put random picks from the top teams without knowing what you are doing can damage your overall position up to a position where you cannot get back into the fight for prize spots. For me luckily today got 11 points without putting my qualifying result and losing also the EBP point which should have given me another plus 3 points to bring me to 14 points which is a good result and I would be several position above,luckily I have not lost much against the top of the standings and this pool this year is looking much more competitive as just a mere 9 points divide 15 spots of the pool. |

When the competition and pressure that will be obtained and faced is greater, then of course Newcastle will have to make some changes because competition in the Champions League is not easy. If you remember that, even though this season Newcastle managed to finish in the top four, but in several matches Newcastle also experienced a decline in performance. Therefore, even though Newcastle managed to finish in the top four, the reality is that there are still factors of weakness and instability of Newcastle's performance over time, so of course making some changes is still important.
We could see some new faces in UCL next season. Of course, every club experiences a drop in performance, but they always recover and Newcastle is one of these clubs. Newcastle was competitive this season, with manager Howe Eddie demonstrating a fantastic game strategy that propelled the club into the top four. Newcastle will compete in the UCL next season; after all, they had good opportunities and earned their place in the competition. Different leagues have different goals, but Newcastle has dependable frontlines that are volatile in front of goals. Now it all depends if the managers at where Cristiano play stands together with Newcastle management as the clause is clearly there that if Newcastle plays in Champions League during this upcoming season then he would be allowed to be with Newcastle for as long as they will be competing there.I would of course love to see Cristiano back in a Premier League action in a team where clearly the manager will be pro him much different than Ten Haag which got what he deserved in yesterday game as City won the FA cup,they are ready now to make it triple if they win the Champions League also. |

All payments should have been sent to all those that sent me an address. Thanks for playing and don't forget to send jeremypwr and Sportsbet some love. Without their sponsorship this pool would be no where near as fun and we'd just be playing for the peanut entry fees  . Hopefully the pool will continue to grow year on year as it had done so far. Thank you,I already received the money and it was nice playing here.For me I was during almost all the last weeks on the tournament in top 10 which would have been a nice prize as a first time in points for me but unfortunately I lost 3 positions in the last round,nevertheless getting twice as the entry fee means I have played for free this season and I am saving the 0.0025 for the next season which will start on August,which again is a bad time to send money as we are all on holidays during that month .Jokes aside can't wait to be starting the new season. |

I might change my picks as well. Hamilton seems likely to be on the podium, as Mercedes is usually very strong in the race, especially compared to Ferrari.
Not sure if Alonso can get a podium here, he’s starting far back.
Leclerc had a very bad qualifying as well, probably he can get a few points but people like Russell, Perez or Alonso might be too far ahead once Leclerc has cleared all traffic.
It’s a really hard one to decide. I’m tempted to change my picks but rain can affect positions very much, if we get rain, which is not clear yet but seems possible.
Correct, Mercedes and Ferrari were surprisingly strong, so the updates to the cars worked well, I haven't changed my predictions, but I don't think my podium is very likely with Verstappen, Alonso and Perez, more like impossible. But let's see how the race goes. Mercedes cars are the second best during this race while at Ferrari I have a lot of doubts because Sainz struggled in both stints before he put the hard compound,Leclerc did a great race and now we are in the final stint of the race and Ferrari is less than impressive.I wonder what they were doing,they should have been definitely on the podium but I believe we have again the team strategy not the right one for Sainz,what he was doing to go to the box when he said clearly I have still pace on these tires and it was that exact moment that ruined Sainz race.A boring race,another boring one and Redbull seem like they are already Champions of the season. |

It was quite disappointing to see Alonso in P9 in this qualifying session, even though in FP2 he managed to improve his performance and was in P2, but unfortunately he was inconsistent and ended up in P9 in this qualifying. But what is quite interesting is that Norris managed to start at P3 in the racing session later. This is a very good performance from Norris and team McLaren. It seems that Norris and his team are very comfortable on the circuit and maybe they will show good performance in the race session later.
Aston Martin seems like is really struggling in this track and that is the only knew unknown in this race so far.Mercedes drivers claiming they have quite a lot of pace on their tires despite having soft ones and are running more than 20 laps with them,most likely they will go with a single stop,Redbull most likely will do the same and so this race will end with Ferrari out of the podium as when Mercedes will come out they will have much fresher tires than Sainz which has already pitted from quite some time now. A rain would do great deal to change the outcome of this race which so far seems linear without any retirements,crashes or something along these lines,a rain together with the safety car should make this a good one to watch,so far a boring one. |

I completely forgot to put my picks before yesterday official qualifying starts and I will start with -3 points which in the end of the pool can prove decisive ,I had a lot of work to do yesterday and I was deep dived into it that I completely forgot about racing and this is the first time it happens to me. Nevertheless I will have the opportunity to change my picks but changing them is not of a great help in a technical track where overtaking is very much possible here so anything can happen.I can't wait to see the upgrades of the cars and see if they can match somewhat Redbull speed. Yea...I did the same. I was too exited for qualifiers that I forgot to place my picks but nevertheless , I did pick the top 10 today with good confidence that Norris can make a podium and keep that 3rd place until end of the race. Also , is somehow Sainz gets a great start , we might have a collision between Max and him so I'm looking forward for turn 1. First time I put Norris in top ten this time,the management and board of directors at McLaren are saying that we will see a completely different car the max at Silverstone but judging from the performance of McLaren yesterday in qualifying I think it is a right call to put him in the top 10 and maybe this car is already on track . I doubt Max will cause a collision,he knows that if he goes to ask for trouble he will find it and he will definitely be the most damaged one.For a change though I have put a nice bet of Ferrari most team points during the race of today at an odd of 10 which I think is doable as long as Perez gets out of the way,his mediocre performances keep following. |

Man I only play like 50-100 dollars weekly and I usually used to get mad by increasing the bet and losing all balance most of the times,with just that amount I got like 0.60% weekly so that is why I am a mere Bronze VIP.Now though lately I have become much smarter,I keep buying the bonus at Pragmatic Play games usually playing in IDR and I got only this week from 16 to 22.8% of my Bronze VIP Level increase which is great with just 40 dollars to go that high,yesterday Gates of Heaven got the best out of me and I kept buying the bonus with 100.000 RP,I got from 1 mln ton 4 mln but greed is deep inside us humans so I lost them all again,nevertheless my monthly bonus this time in mid June will be enough to increase my level of VIP with another 3-5% and this time I am getting upgrades much faster . |

You know what makes it even more boring,when we don't have competition even from the same team,Perez is a mediocre driver and really inconsistent while at Mercedes in 2016 we saw a great season despite that season being dominated completely by Mercedes. |

I admire the courage OP has. I would say he is a true gambler, not afraid to take risks and understands that losing is part of the game. You've gone too far, but your last attempt failed. Well, as you mentioned, it's back to the drawing board again. I'm sure you'll grow that money again, given that you have the skills of a true gambler. Keep grinding, mate.
That is a dangerous type of courage,I lost all by raising the bet on slot machines yesterday night and I played for several hours.I was grinding for that x35000 multiplier which no one has won it yet in the slot I played.The type of courage that OP showed is great but when you lose money it turns away all the enthusiasm of winnings and draws you into a big aura of sadness,no one should say otherwise even those people who accept lost amounts and are not sore losers. I wish OP good luck in his further endeavors and let us know when he hits it big so we can get some of that enthusiasm back. |

and the season is about to end, I must say that I am very satisfied with this season
It's been an ultra competitive season and I've seen new teams in the top league
I am very satisfied and I enjoyed it a lot
I also really enjoyed this season more than the last one. Because a lot of new things in this season. Especially looking at Napoli who are unbeaten since the season started. And only experienced defeat a few times. And there are many more unexpected events in this season that make this season not boring. I hope that next season there will be more interesting things from Serie A. It is easy to have a better season next year.We just need Napoli to be of the same quality as of this year and we also need to have teams like Juventus,Inter,Milan,Lazio and Roma improve and up their game a lot and above all these teams need to be consistent.If we don't have this then we are going to see another boring season of Serie A as this one was boring except of course the fact that Napoli got the title after 33 years but they made it boring as they got ahead with points to near 18 points which makes no sense to continue and follow this league with such a difference in points as it is worthless. |

Inter has a strong champion mentality, while Man City boasts a lineup of top players from around the world in various positions. Man City's ambition is also strong, and they are even supported by the world's best coach. I see better chances for Man City than Inter, which is why I believe that Man City will perform better in the upcoming final match in a few days.
It is obvious that City play better football than Inter Milan, and City are definitely the favorites for the final on the 10th, but i am pretty sure Pep Guardiola would not allow the idea of being the favorites get into the head of his players, they still have to go there and actually put up a fantastic performance to win the trophy. Having said that, before the CL final, City would play Manchester United in the FA Cup final, if they win that game and get their second trophy of the season, then the momentum and determination to get the third, which is the CL, would increase, a historic treble awaits City and i am pretty sure their players are so experienced not to throw it away. The days of D Milito is over for Inter Milan when the won the champions league against Bayern in 2010. This time it is between the world strongest club which is Manchester City, and I see less of the passion which was exhibited that year by Inter in this present season. But the only reason I feel inter will want to give in their all is so they can take the trophy and also secure their ticket for next season CL. Even if City losses in the FA cup the will not want to risk losing the CL. The CL is the most priority to Pep because if he wins the CL he automatically have won all the trophies for City. you have started again, who made Manchester city the strongest club in the world? my guy Manchester city are just very inform now, it doesn't make them the strongest in the world, a team without a champions league title and Ballon D'or winner in the squad. this city team has not proven much results compared to the mount of money the club spent on this squad. before they can reach Real Madrid and Barcelona level, they have to dominate Europe for five years winning the UCL. Inter mIlan is a beat you must prepare well to beat, they are better team to chelsea team that defeated Manchester city in 2021, so stake responsibly Manchester City should probably win with a substantial difference in their result,kinda I am feeling like a correct score of 4-1 for Manchester City and I am a fan of Inter Milan.I am a fan of them but this does not mean that I do not judge objectively,I judge in an extremely objective way and by putting all data in the weight it should be clear that Inter Milan stand absolutely no chance to make a surprise in this final like they did in 2010. They I think have started their domination this year by eliminating Bayern Munchen and Real Madrid,two of the strongest teams in this year Champions League so I think they should be good to go and start lifting up trophies,starting exactly with the Champions League next weekend. |

I think the first thing PSG needs for the next season is to hire another coach to replace Galtier because of the bad performance he had during this season and that's why I think there are many other options who can have better performance than Galtier, one good example is Zidane because of this pas experience of working with superstar player he surely knows how to deal with players like Mbappe and other players.
If they hire Zidane I think they should also start changing many players because the Zidane we know, is not a person to counties the way by other coaches, he is a person who needs to have some other players who can make the owners of PSG spend even more for the next season.
I agree,PSG has always had great players since the sheikhs took over but a thing that is coming to my mind now is how come that they never had a world class coach.I think Ancelotti would be a great choice to take there as I don't think he can give any more to Real Madrid and also Real Madrid should look for another coach,if they cannot manage to get Ancelotti they should get another one world class coach,one that has won everything but not like Tuchel who mostly won them because of chance,someone who has won everything fully deserving them. |

Karim Benzema recently made a statement regarding the rumors spreads around him. I get his statement to be somewhat unclear, but it seems to suggest that he may be leaving the club. While it's always sad to see a talented player go, I believe that sometimes it's simply time to move on. But, I will be happy for this case, as long as the club able to find a suitable replacement. While Madrid yet to offer Benzema maybe one year extension, he could consider a move to Al Ittihad for two or more seasons. If Saudi clubs want to pay players at the end of their careers, then so be it. I think it's good deal for both parties.
It turned out to be just rumors that were around Benzema on Wednesday and Thursday, but today it has become clear that he remains at Real Madrid. It’s too early for him to end his career, he can continue to play at the highest level for a few more years, Real Madrid will be the best option for this, and after that you can go to warm countries with Ronaldo if there is such a desire, or he can stay working at Real Madrid. ) I think it was a natural choice for him to remain at Real Madrid.There are some photos of him when he won his first Champions League and it was Ronaldo together with a few other super stars that were at the focus of the photo while Benzema,a youngster smiling from behind and now lately another photo of last Champions League win where Benzema was the focus of the photo of this won title.It says a lot about a player who has patience and perseverance to keep playing at these high levels with Real Madrid in order to get a few more of such successes if possible. |

So we have some sort of Premier League action tomorrow despite the season to be officially over.We have the final of FA cup with the derby of Manchester.I know Manchester City is the favored team from the bookies and I assume most of us would agree with them as City has been making short work of all their recent adversaries in all competitions they have taken place.They have already won the Premier League title and if they win the FA cup also would be a nice addition to them which would also boost further confidence to them to win the Champions League next weekend on 10th of June.

If i dont remember bad, it was in the Spanish GP from alst year when Mercedes make a magnificent preformance with a very cuestionable car, so now they have a much more better car and with a complete change who seems to work, can we see a much better performacne in that circuit that suits there really good?
I doubt it.It was a bit further than the Spanish GP,more likely they restarted through Silverston in 2021 to fight up to the title in the last race when they started the season not in the best of their form.Last year they were a mid performance team and didn't show any significant performance,the fact that Russell won a race if I recall correctly means that Redbull was already Champions at that time and were not giving it all. In this season I really hope that they bring some massive upgrade together with Ferrari which have promised to do so but I have not seen anything like that,I am not keeping my hopes high as I will risk being heavily disappointed if I don't see such expected upgrade. |

history does not repeat, but often rhymes, Dean is a good manager, with good striker (Gyokeres would be great adding from Coventry), at least not thinking about survival is enough
I think there is scientific basis for cycles, even in sporting clubs. And unfortunately, Liverpool seem to be in 7th season funk, which especially appears to be true for Klopp -- I can only hope that we buck the trend. Am most nervous about how on earth we're replacing the midfield, something long overdue and now even more urgent that we've lost 3 key players in the position, should retire another, and will lose even the backup loan option. Saint-Loup, conqueror of all pools... I think Liverpool in the end of the season showed great football and endurance,they won most of their games and I think it is exactly from there where we should start thinking about the upgrade for the next season.I know we have great strikers like Nunez and Salah but having some more does not hurt,also in the midfield we need as many talented players as possible as that saying says "in football midfield can win or lose you games" they are the most important part of any team as they produce dangerous actions and also they manage the defense.I think if we fill the midfield with talented players we can have a go for the title once again next season. |

Now is a Promotional Reward Point with 4x bigger RP prizes. It's interesting to also multiply btc because the prize for every 500 satoshi bet is also bigger than normal.
It is always a nice idea to either get going in multiply btc when there is a promotion ongoing at 4x and 5x which are the highest level of rewards you can get some nice additional bonuses by spending your satoshis this way.The more satoshi you can afford to play there the more side benefits you get,especially the RP points which are 4x for every 500 satoshi wagered during these bonuses.I personally have not much satoshis lying around now and all I get daily I spend them to buy as many FUN tokens as I can as now the price of them is really low and it is also the best time to accumulate them.We are in a dilemma now in this moment,either play to get RP or buy FUN tokens and I am staying with the second option for now . |

Why do you make coin mining so difficult. First use the Ethash algorithm, then plan to add the SHA256, X11 algorithms. These are algorithms for ASICs and mining on them is unprofitable if the miner has a video card. Then you want to add more algorithms and staking. This does not look like the development of the project, but the addition of mining algorithms.
Exactly.It does make no sense to make mining of a new coin this difficult at all.In fact most coins when coming out they are starting with a very low difficulty so people can have a look at that type of coin and see if they like it,if not they get away. You OP by doing this,adding without any logic of algorithms you just make it burdensome to mine this type of coin and most people will be turning away from your project,not that there are many profitable projects nowadays in mining anyway but why turn people away since the early beginning? |
