3161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Will mining altcoins on video cards be relevant in the next bull cycle? on: May 25, 2023, 08:04:38 PM
We saw 2 bull runs in 2017 and 2021. At that time, mining brought a very large profit, sometimes a video card paid off in a few months.
Do you think that next alt season will be profitable mining and video cards will rise in price again?

That is a question which also has the answer in itself if you look at the data,miners made a lot of money in such times and they,the winners did not start mining when crypto reached these new all time highs,they were mining a whole long before this happened.In this time the "losers" started to appear in the market making the prices of video cards skyrocket to never seen before levels and by "losers" I mean the people who came in after they saw the new all time high and they were in for a quick buck.It is exactly these persons who lost the more and sold everything they bought at a loss because mining is not for a quick buck but is a long process that in the end rewards the patient ones who believe firmly in the future of crypto.

I will celebrate long and hard if Inter wins the CL. Pep and his 115 rule breaking charges might not get a better chance to win it with Man City. I expect them to win comfortably but I also expected them to beat Chelsea in the final a few years ago. I will be very happy if they lose to the underdog again. Anything can happen on a football pitch, come on Inter.

I don't know what to say about them,if they don't win this time the Champions League then I will bet everything I have that they will never ever win it in their lifetime.The odd of Manchester City is just 1.40 for a final clearly showing the huge disadvantage both teams have against each other.Manchester City is just keeping pace as yesterday they didn't win against Brighton and I saw the game,not because Brighton played better but because they don't play for anything as they are already Champions of the Premier League this year and their full focus is now on the Champions League.

I would also love for Inter to win and a 2/2 with an odd of 15 would be a bet I will try with little money to add a bit of spice to the final.

So what do you guys think about Honda power units,powering up Alonso car in 2026 as they at Aston Martin will use the Honda power unit starting from that year.I think all the F1 fans remember the GP2 engine,GP2 engine Alonso complaints back when he was at McLaren but I think that he will not be complaining now as it is the exact engine that is skyrocketing the Redbull to three consecutive titles so far as I think this year we will not have someone to contest Redbull and most likely up until the end of the season we will see a Redbull dominance.

I hope Alonso does not retire until then so he will have a chance to win his third title at a very old age which would be unique for F1.

Can someone explain to me what makes this particular race "boring" compared to the other races?  Smiley

The fact that not much happens if the race is linear,the drivers even with the best cars cannot pass a lot of positions,for example this race would be very beautiful if Verstappen to start 15th or 17th on the grid,in here the car cannot help much and as such all that remains to help is his talent,if he goes for example like Senna did in 1984 that got from a lot of behind positions in a full wet race to second and he was about to win the race when FIA directors decided to stop the race clearly favoring the first guy.

Now if this does not happen then it is going to be a boring race for sure.

I would bet that all English teams will pass the group and even Newcastle without Cristiano and without any buy in player to improve the team.The reason I believe so is that the motivation of teams like Manchester United,Arsenal and Newcastle will be at the highest level and honestly I don't know any league who is able to compete with English teams except maybe the Spanish one,so England is the strongest league in Europe and mostly also in the world and it is only natural for me to expect a full qualification of all of the teams from Premier League.

I agree is not the same without Liverpool but still the teams will qualify out of the group stages.

United seem to be very bad at dealing with ANY Spanish team, I mean losing cup to Villareal and getting KO by Sevilla. Not Sevilla of last few seasons but Sevilla of this season.

Liverpool bogey is Real Madrid. But also Atletico 50/50.

But don't forget Italian clubs also do well against English, Liverpool must remember Ancelotti and Milan, but also recently Napoli.

I would bet on at least 1 team dropping to Europa, maybe it is a BSFL question one round later Wink

I think that Manchester United of this season cannot be taken as a reference team,they had a lot of up and downs but most likely they have improved in these recent times and I think a few reinforcements will do good to them.For them I hate their coach as he was responsible for making Cristiano to go away in Saudi Arabia while I believe Cristiano has enough to give more to whatever league he plays,including the Premier League.

I think that for next season there is enough time for all the teams participating in Champions to get a couple of new players,harmonize them in the team and be ready to compete at a high level there.

Yesterday I should have listened to the whole gambling community to put a bet on Brighton win or draw while I did not listen and got ahead to put a bet on Manchester City to win.I was deceived by the bookies for the thousand time  Grin as I fell completely for that 1.95 odd they gave to Manchester City to win that game.When City scored I thought now is game over for Brighton yet Brighton found the courage to fight back,equalize and keep that equalizer.

For tonight we have a beautiful game for Manchester United vs Chelsea,I am sure we will see good football and in the end Manchester United will win this game.

So it is confirmed after 20 years I guess that Newcastle are in Champions League.

As an annoyed, jealous and totally bitter Liverpool fan, I hope they get grouped Wink
I hope they get the group of death and go out in the group stage.

In the pool darbit is only 0.5 points behind mitchr4. Should be a real battle to be sportsbet.io sponsored English Premier League Football Pool Champion 2022/23.

Even without your wishes, this Newcastle team will not make it past the group stage of the CL unless they make some big move in the summer with some oil money. shame Manchester City, Arsenal, Man utd, and Newcastle United will be representing EPL in the CL next season it would be the weakest representation ever without Liverpool and Chelsea since we know only City will make it out of the group stage, the other three will be heading to the Europa league as usual.

I would bet that all English teams will pass the group and even Newcastle without Cristiano and without any buy in player to improve the team.The reason I believe so is that the motivation of teams like Manchester United,Arsenal and Newcastle will be at the highest level and honestly I don't know any league who is able to compete with English teams except maybe the Spanish one,so England is the strongest league in Europe and mostly also in the world and it is only natural for me to expect a full qualification of all of the teams from Premier League.

[...] You can chose to bet on Leeds and Liecester trying to escape the relegation zone.

That also can put someone into dilemma. Its not easy as it looks as both Leeds and Leicester have been poor lately and they are up against Spurs and West Ham respectively which are also not an easy opponent despite their out of form performances. Whatever it will be, one of them will relegate for sure. Also Everton could also possibly end up relegated as well. So it is also important for Everton to win against Bournemouth which I think could go Everton's way.

I would rather sit and watch the last gameweek as lot of these games are probably gonna have unexpected results.

I think that it is all in Everton hands since they will be playing against Bournemouth in the last game this weekend and they sure have much more motivation than Bournemouth which plays for nothing while they play for survival.So for me I would bet a lot of money on Everton not to be relegated in this season.I think that Leicester and Leeds will relegate most likely,well one of them will go in a relegation battle with Championship team but either way I am sure it will not be Everton in such battle.

Most likely Leicester has an easier game against West Ham and as such they will be battling a relegation battle with Championship teams while for Leeds I don't see much options of survival.

A lot of prediction websites,people in casinos chat where I play are hinting at a stop of Manchester City tonight,mainly pointing out to a double chance on Brighton win or draw.While I agree that Brighton is good in recent form the fact that they lost 4-1 to Newcastle makes me think that this mean machine that Manchester City is,should have no problems to win tonight if they want to and judging Pep Guardiola mentality they would want to because they want to be in top form before the Champions League final.The odd at 1.95 is also very good as rarely I have seen Manchester City with such odd in Premier League.

Borussia Dortmund only needs 1 more win in their last match to ensure themselves as Bundesliga champions this season, Mainz, who will be against Borussia Dortmund in his last match, is not so strong in terms of quality when compared to Borussia Dortmund, so it's only natural that Borussia Dortmund is highly favored.

Whichever other team to be in place of Mainz,even Bayern Munchen themselves I think the level of motivation of Borussia Dortmund knowing that a win can give them a Bundesliga title would be enough for them to win that game.The fact that they are playing at home against Mainz,a mid level team in Bundesliga means that with 99.99% assurance they most likely will win this game and become Champions of the Bundesliga.

All the blame for Bayern losing the title this year will fall on Bayern management and their changing of coach in a critical moment for the team,I am sure the Bayern fans will not be happy at all at the end of this season and they have the right to ask for explanations.
3171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: May 24, 2023, 06:29:20 AM
We often intend to play little and gamble small, but unfortunately that is often an illusion. If you like to gamble too much, you may end up betting larger amounts over time. The problem is also often that you no longer have the realization that you are gambling. You have a blur in your eyes and then you are only concerned with money. But gambling is not the way to stay safe, it would be better to stay away from it altogether.
Some people actually live behind the misconception of actually taking gambling as a means of making income and those set of people are just entwined to gamble out their money everyday regardless of the losses that they might enquire, they are blinded by the fact  they can make continuous profit even if they lose and this type of thought in gambling can never be reduced even if they think to gamble less.
Ironically, their misconception doesn't break even after losing money every day instead of getting any gains which is basically not how earning an income works.  Smiley They still keep gambling with the same misconception that they can make money from gambling when they are clearly losing money to it and they are so lost that they don't realize it.

Seeing the reality and believing it becomes hard for some people sometimes, the same is with such kinds of gamblers. They know no stopping at any cost and will also not leave being stubborn about their thoughts, which are not right Smiley.
Those people could never learn from that misconception, instead would still gamble and try to make money. They really don't realize what they are doing is wrong and need to fix it before becoming a full-blown gambling addiction.

And for those who don't agree with us, we can never make them see the difference because they will stick with it without wanting to change it or accept it. And we can only let them be like that and see the reality that will happen later.

There is one good reason why there is this misconception and that is that while we lose we get the rage and we say we will stop gambling and will not play anymore,will stick to a preliminary budget and no matter what I will stick to it but as soon as some little time passes there is that "microbe" that is deep inside our roots that says let's try one more time and this time we will hit it big.This is what keeps gamblers coming back and as such is very difficult to control this type of emotion and it can be learned only with passing of time,for me it took 3 years to put this emotion in control so it is very easy to say but very difficult to do.

I absolutely like it,seeing Botafogo at the top of the standings is a nice feeling,I don't remember when it was the last time they were leading the Serie A,I have seen some of their games when playing at home and they have the team strength more than individual quality like Flamengo has for example.It is still early and Palmeiras is still the huge favorite without a lost game yet despite them having three draws,this shows tenacity and a lot of stamina and these are the characteristics which a winning team usually have.

Personally I am a fan of Flamengo and I am happy for them,they won against Corinthians in this last game played at home,1-0 narrow result but very sweet 3 points.I am loving so far how the Serie A in Brazil is unfolding this time,mark my words,there is a ton of money to be made by betting in this league.
3173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: May 23, 2023, 08:41:36 PM
For me it would have no problem if my son (when I will have one) will bring back this amount of money from gambling as long as he is not an addicted gambler and he plays in a moderate way.I would take the win as I know that in the long run the son had probably lost more than he won with this single win.The reason why the father could not accept the winnings must be more moral related like religion or something like that but nowadays in developed countries and I doubt Nigeria to be one of them yet,morals and ethics are considered a bit different,for example in Vegas if someone hit the jackpot people will look at him as a very lucky person and not as a gambler,so in the end it all depends on each one of us point of view.
3174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 23, 2023, 01:21:01 PM
Everton are once again on the edge of the relegation area just as the previous season. After Lampard's poor management they wanted some change and brought Sean Dyche. I can't say that this was a big step forward though because Dyche hasn't managed big teams so far. He has just had experience with the kind of teams which is a survivor in the Premier League or so. Hence I had my doubts about him to make this team improve in time. I wasn't wrong about this unfortunately and they are really in terrible shape again.

I remember Everton's much better times from this. Actually they haven't had a very poor quality squad in the recent years but something is odd with the team. I think they will manage to hold on in the league again but this time they had better work hard about finding the root of the main problem.

This time Everton are in the most comfortable position compared to Leeds,Leicester and Southampton which is already relegated.This time once again they should fight it out in the last game at their home and I think they can achieve a good result which should be enough for them to stay in the Premier League next season.I believe in Everton to be the best team from the ones fighting to not fall into relegation and they deserve it more than any other teams because they have played better throughout the season and they have also one victory against Arsenal when playing home.

The root of the problem can be in finances or if they have them,then it remains in finding a good coach who is able to harmonize the team well.

So it is confirmed after 20 years I guess that Newcastle are in Champions League.

I think and believe that this team is better than the old one that last went to that stage, but if you struggle against teams like Leicester, I wonder what happens when you meet Real Madrids and Napolis of CL lol

Anyway, well done, don't disappoint us.

I believe so,and if they get an additional great boost like Cristiano Ronaldo to play with them as there is a clause in Cristiano contract or at least there are a lot of rumors that point to this that he,Cristiano can play with Newcastle next season as long as they will be taking part in the Champions League,which honestly seems highly likely right now.

I am sure this time we didn't see the same Champions as if Ronaldo played there and Messi also disappointed so seeing Cristiano with an English team playing in the Champions League is the best football fans can hope for and I am sure with Cristiano on board Newcastle would have not struggled at all to score a goal from those 24 shots they made yesterday.

There is Barcelona again tonight with an odd near 2 playing away against Valladolid,this would never happen in normal conditions as the max odd Barcelona would have in normal conditions is 1.50 to 1.55 most likely but since they are already Champions and they play for nothing,also they played against Real Sociedad where they lost at home it is very dangerous to bet on such game and as such the best bet would be to not bet at all or to play with goals over 2.5 or both teams to score,or even better to be bold go and play Valladolid draw no bet,I will try this bet personally as I saw a disastrous Barcelona against Sociedad.I might lose this bet I know as betting against Barcelona in most of the times is suicide but I will only bet very little money on this event.

Gambling invitation should be between gamblers, this way you won't be bombard with different type of questions, because gamblers knows what gambling is all about, it will be less stressful to introduce a casino to people that are already into gambling, this is different from trying to invite a newbie to gambling, you will be held responsible for any loss that happens because the newbie won't trust you, they will believe you intentionally invite them to scam them.

Lessons first before anything, this is my own rules when it comes to teaching investment to any newbie, you need to understand the whole thing first, and that's having to do your one research, the mistake that many people do is using themselves as the source of knowledge,
If newbies aren't ready to read and learn themselves they are not ready for anything, let the take the steps themselves.  


I believe this was the case with me when I was a newbie,some of my friends invited me to bet on Juventus vs Real Madrid in Champions League,I believe to have been 2002-2003 season and Juventus had 1.90 odd at home while I choose real with an odd of 3.50 and these friends told me to bet on Juventus but I did not listen and got ahead and bet on Real.The end result Real lost and I also lost my bet but as soon as I lost my bet I told my friends how come Real to lose against Juventus (of course I knew nothing about sport betting back then) and started complaining,they took the time to explain it carefully to me and in the return leg I bet on Real which won and also made me continue betting in sports.

Of course the majority of the newbies nowadays will only complain and blame the fault on you so it is better to only invite friends you know you will not have problems with them.

For Monaco, they should have an Indy500 style of qualifying since there's not that lot of racing  Grin

I think that is the beauty of Monaco in the first place,qualifying decides 90% of the race and this track is really slow compared to other tracks as the max speed goes to 293 Km/h,at least that is what I saw on the last race here last season and at such low speeds the fight between the top teams can be quite entertaining.I am expecting a very focused Fernando Alonso with his Aston Martin here as to get the pole here is very much possible if he makes a perfect lap which he has the capability to do so,which in turn would promise to all of us a beautiful race with Redbull and Ferrari chasing them.May be this most likely won't come true but I believe a lot in Aston Martin and Alonso for this qualifying to make the race beautiful.

More than 45% of gamers use inexpensive graphics cards, and steam is used by a lot of gamers.
These video cards for mining are also not very profitable to use, except for 3060. There are few AMD video cards, there are also very few new Intel series.
I hope this data also seen by nvidia Huan  Grin
I think there are a lot of old video cards, because buying a new video card will probably require a processor upgrade or buying a new motherboard with a processor. And many gamers play at 1080p resolution without additional graphics quality settings. And it is also noticeable that rich gamers prefer to buy laptops, because you can play anywhere.

Yes,the price of the GPU-s should go down dramatically as the price of gaming laptops is cheap nowadays and not only rich gamers can afford them,also normal gamers with the help of their credit card  Grin,they can pay less than 999 dollars for a good Ryzen 5 processor and a Nvidia 3050 graphic card,this is enough to play most games in 1080p and even a bit higher.

Thanks to this,I assume the GPU prices should go down dramatically with the passing of time and we will be back at building one mining rig with all parts with the price of 1 GPU that we bought in 2021 at the all time high price of mining gear  Grin.

Four times in a row what?Huh


Where you can find the 4 times win in a row? Juventus is the most unstable team in the last 2 months.


I think it is even normal when they give you and remove points when they want, even 10 minutes before a match when you are in the pitch

Well that is something new,I just saw in Flashscore that they truly removed again the points,this is I don't know how to call it a very very bad move and Juventus was completely surprised and this showed on field.There is a good thing that there are another two games left and they are just one point away from the European competitions and I think they will get to that,they deserve it based on their overall performance during the season.Roma with these disgusting shows should not be able to be playing in European competitions next season,they were not able to win against Salernitana yesterday night.
