Really interesting game tonight at 12.30 AM European time between Botafogo which has 0 lost games and 4 wins in 4 games against a Corinthians that has started the Serie A of this year not so well and I think Botafogo should be able to win this game and most likely will be my main bet for today.The odd is quite high for me at 2.05 but most likely should be so because even the bookies are not clear as to the performance of each team as only 4 games have been played so far.

Flamengo got back to winning ways by winning the game of yesterday 2-0 and I think they are a really strong team that have been passing a very bad moment in the start of this season,for me they have players who can be easily title contenders this year.

WE was the bomb for so long, for years the superior of crappy FIFA but I noticed when I picked FIFA up on my kid's PS, that it had literally copied WE control for control. Anyway... Everton beating City to help Arsenal would be such sweetness.

I think you are asking a bit to much from Everton.The fact that they did beat Brighton 1-5 sure have add to the overall enthusiasm of such team but Manchester City is not Brighton at all and I have seen this week Champions League game where they got and dominated the game against Real Madrid at Madrid home,I wonder how bad will they crush Real in the return leg as I don't expect a come back for Real.Having said that for Real and comparing the game against Everton I think Manchester City maybe will not go full power as they need it for the return leg in Champions but surely with enough power to get the three points from this game.
3323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rig/mining farm for 8 video cards p104-100 evga at the price of 1 GPU on: May 11, 2023, 07:22:02 AM
Yeah not surprised. They really should of liquidated those GPUs during the POW days. The issue with those GPUs in particular is that they aren’t oriented for gaming. They got 1 output if I recall. So most likely no gamer will buy them.

Add in bad profitability and hence the price. The seller probably assumed ETHW or ETC would gain more market cap and it would remain profitable however months have gone by and not much has changed.

I think these rigs prices will even go more down with the passing of time and nothing happens in ETHW,ETC or ETF coins,these are the only GPU-s ETCHASH coins that can be mined,the top ones as there are others also but nothing is changing.I also changed from ETHW to ETC my mining rig only to get the money to my Atomic Wallet to directly exchange there in ZIL as I don't see that much other options for mining.With the passing of time most probably the people will start getting more angry and bored as they will see there is very little profit and sell even newer rigs at a very cheap price,I am exactly waiting for that moment.
ETHW, ETC or ETF are coins for mining with the help of asics. I don’t see any hope of making a profit on these coins. There is little profit at an electricity price of 5 cents, but after 5 years of mining, video cards need to work for at least 3 years. This is a bad lottery.

Yeah I have seen those Jasminer at just over 1 Ghsh for 340 watt power consumption and also the Ipollo Se and mini versions,they consume really low in terms of power and their hash rate is big enough,I think that you are right and maybe video cards are indeed a bad lottery which need to be changed for these types of efficient miners which anyone can keep in some space in their home no matter how small their home maybe,I love producers which make ASICS with low power consumption and a relatively good hash rate.If I had money to spare I would definitely buy that Jasminer X4 at 340 watt for 1040 Mhsh.
A new ASIC model Jasminer X16 has already been released: 1845 MH/s at 630w. In terms of its energy efficiency, it is more profitable than older models and more profitable than Antminer E9 Pro, but there will be problems with the purchase. Antminer E9 Pro is sold from many trusted vendors for 4-4.5 thousand dollars at retail. Jasminer X16 I think will cost the same, but now it has to wait about 2 months.

This clearly is a much better ASIC and I think it should be a great buy for anyone who has the money.For me I would buy the X4 if its price goes down with the release of this new one.Unfortunately there are not many people willing to sell used units of such good miners,even the E9 Pro which is more widely available I have checked locally and internationally and very few persons sell such devices,it means that there are people,a lot of them believing in the long term of mining success,I only wish had like 5000 dollars spare to buy one such device and keep it in my home and be extremely happy  Grin.
Jasminer are very expensive ASICs. Antminer E9 Pro will replace 7 Jasminer X4 ASICs. I think the Antminer E9 Pro update is coming soon and we will see even more hashrate to make the competitors lose out.

Jasminer X4 1U ETC 5G Miner 520Mh/s | BT-MINERS
Vendor BT-Miners
Regular price$  1,999.00
Power   240W

This one though is not that expensive at 2000 dollars I think,considering that Bitmain rarely makes efficient miners in terms of consumption (and I mean in the low side of power consumption because they may be very efficient with devices with much higher hash rate) and this can run at home very stable and very good.

If I had to build a rig with 8 GPU-s to make it go to 520 mhsh I would most likely pay more money than 2000 dollars and surely that rig would need more maintenance than this X4 Asic device.I have never been a fan of ASICS exactly because of that higher power consumption but now seeing manufacturers that have lowered drastically the power consumption I am thinking seriously of owning one.
I would study the prices of 3060 ti video cards in order to build a mining farm of 8 video cards. Most likely it will be more expensive, but you will have the choice to mine some profitable coins in the future. And with this ASIC you will have a choice of several popular coins.


That is the beauty of this ASIC,they are always improving the firmware to keep and mining the most of the well known coins during this time,of course the ETCHASH algorithm and I don't know but most likely they will implement dual mining in the future,there are certain pools that tries to be friendly to dual mining even for ASIC devices and one of such pools is the Ezil.me which I always use in dual mining ETC+ZIL.I am only mining with 100 Mhsh and 200 watt power consumption but I would love to have that ASIC as I said if I had the possibility to find it here where I am.

Congress has long-recognized the potential harms posed by sports betting to the integrity of sporting contests and the public confidence in these events.

This topic stems from the suspension of Jameson Williams for 6 games because he violated the gambling policy. I dug a little and found out the reason for the policy. My understanding of this is that there are two sides to sports betting, the gambler's side and then sports contest games. But this is the first time I am reading that sports betting can affect the game negatively and results in reduced public confidence. Does this apply to the NFL only? What about soccer and other sports? Are they exempted? Let's talk about this.

It doesn't apply to only the NFL, we can see this happening in soccer as well. It mightn't happen to the professional league but the minor league get affected easily since things can be done in those league and be gotten away with like match fixing and other illegal officiating.

I think anyone who's caught for match fixing in any of the sports should be punished severely so others can learn. Match fixing takes out the integrity of the game and also reduced fans attendance which makes the clubs lose money.

This is also the reason it's prohibited for those involved with sports to place bets. Imagine if a coach bets on his side to lose and the payout would be big. He'll intentionally sabotage the game with wrong tactics so it goes in his favor and he wins.

I strongly agree for the minor leagues,especially from what I have read in the past and even seen one of such thing first hand is that Denmark lowest divisions together with Norway who has a lot of lower divisions can easily be fixed as no one cares for what is going on there from UEFA/FIFA I believe.Funny how such games are rarely up for betting in the reputable casinos but in the shady ones who can as well not pay you at all these are all there.

I saw a person playing a correct exact score on Denmark 7th division in a local lotto club many years ago and that game ended exactly with that result,I don't know if it were fixed but surely raised a lot of doubts in my head.

So this is a three persons yellow cap and I am also one of them,last time around when I won it sometime ago I did not receive a free bet as per the statements here and I hope this time around to get one,I checked my account at betnomi and didn't see anything last time around and hopefully this time which is my second complain will be credited there,not that I play much in Betnomi but if I win something I love to have it and why not trying and play there and even win something,since we have seven days to use the free bet,I can use it on the return leg games.

If it is only the first guy getting the free bet do not consider the above post but I think that would be greatly unfair.

Even though Leao was't going to play I thought Milan would win with fan support. However after making a that bad start to the match they were down in morale. I think the first half's ending by 2-0 only was a big luck for Milan. After this minute it would be a miracle if Milan reach the finale.

They were lucky even in the second half as Inter was more pragmatic and had more chances for goal while Milan had only one left post with Tonali which if it would have been a goal I must say that the game would have changed a lot.I think that I overestimated the Milan goalkeeper when I saw him playing against Napoli but no the Napoli players were really poor in their attempts at scoring goals against Milan while Inter players were much better in this regard and I think that the Inter goalkeeper is at the same level if not better than the Milan goalkeeper.Judging how this ended most likely it will be Inter in the final exactly 13 years after.
3327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦊 Betnomi.com | Champions League Pool ⚽️ Discussion Thread on: May 10, 2023, 07:53:19 PM
Well most of the people in Superbru,to be exact 60% of them had chosen Milan to win and I got for a draw 1-1 but Inter clearly destroyed Milan not only with the fast 2 goals but they had at least 3 other clamorous goal chances which they missed and for that penalty disallowed from VAR I have a lot of reserves for these f referees which impact the game one way or another.

So for me Milan won't recover in the second half and if Inter keeps the pressure up will make the result 0-4 or 0-5 as you know this is a derby that started with boiled blood really soon and the game was beautiful to watch in the first half,can't wait for the second to start.
3328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 10, 2023, 07:28:14 PM
8 minutes into the match, Inter immediately didn't want time to be wasted, the opportunity in front of their eyes was immediately put to good use and produced a goal. The match was quite intense for AC Milan who needed to be vigilant. The next 2 minutes the goal was created again very easily. The defense, which has many gaps, is clearly visible. Inter seemed to have won this match before it ended.


I do not understand what AC Milan is taking this champions league for. How can they conceive two goals within the first 10 minutes of the match while playing at home in the UEFA Champions League?
If they do not correct their mistakes especially the defensive mistake and continue, they will have to conceive more goals before the match ends besides their star man Raf Leoa who always penetrates from the top left is not fit for this match and that is a very big error or misfortune for the side of AC Milan.

They thought they were playing against Napoli and took things easy but Inter recently is in a super form and they have won all their games plus in Champions League they are more motivated than Milan having won the last one in 2010 with Mourinho where they won everything back then,Serie A,Italian Cup and Champions League.I am not saying that they are going to become Champions this year too although that would be a beautiful surprise for me as a fan but the fact that they are beating Milan means a lot to me especially when I remember the lost bets on Napoli.

Inter was very close to the third goal so Milan is shocked already and I don't know if they will recover for this game.

Meanwhile, there are rumors, which I can neither confirm nor deny, that as a result of one of the missile strikes, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny was eliminated. At least he hasn't appeared in public for about a month. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the delay of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

I think Russians should worry less about the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and worry much more about the Victory Day parade yesterday which was a failure as only one tank of Soviet era was in show in the Moscow red square there.The fact that Wagner group is being nominated as a terrorist group from many EU countries starting from France should put a stop to their misery and cruelty and they even threatened to leave Bakhmut.The tanks overriding Russian troops there and gaining 2.6 km square should point to Russia that the war is mostly lost in all fronts and only terror by hitting the Red Cross building in Odessa is what they can do,in fact they only terrorized civilians during all this war as when it comes to military fight Russian army seem the worse and weaker of all.

I might be biased but i think Finland got loudest audience respose in semi-finals, even though their autotune/compression technic failed at one point of the song. That was embarassing. But i will be gambling for it if i find decent odds for it from somewhere. Sweden had a safe bet with an epic song for any radio with a power playlist but i don't think it had enough that something for the big audience. Then again audience is not enough. There will be judges as well balancing the "troll" voting because apparently public doesn't know what song is best Tongue.

I would personally like if Kroatia won but that just might be a bit too avantgarde for big audience. But what do i know, big audience understood Bohemian rhapsody as well when it came.

That is the problem with this contest which I never have understood how the winners are decided,yes I know the televising votes but what I don't get how can Italy vote for example with full points for Sweden when we all know that the cultures of each country differ a whole lot from each other.I can understand Italy giving full points to Mediterranean countries as they are also there,and I can understand the Balkan countries giving full points to each other but certain countries favoring countries far far away as that Shreck movie says I don't get this and for me this way of voting has flaws,which is why I have never bet on this contest and don't plan on betting on it either.

Since you don't see withdrawal history it means that most likely you have placed some bet with them,like bitcoin price predictions,Miami GP for example you may have bet there and normally your bets may be are lost ones as usually as long as a maximum of 48 hours if the bets are wins they are credited to your account.

As long as you have access to your account it is a good thing and means that most probably no one has hacked it,still better to add 2FA to the account so you are safe while you further investigate where the funds went.

The Honda factory team has registered their flagship rider (Marc Marquez) to race at the French MotoGP this week which will take place at the Le Mans circuit. Apart from that, the sanctions he previously received were also abolished after the Honda manufacturer made an appeal with the race organizers, meaning that Marc Marquez could join the race again without being burdened with sanctions such as the Long Laps Penalty. Hopefully there will be more exciting races this week at Le Mans France.

Le Mans one of the most beautiful tracks when it is for MotoGP racing,completely different when it is car racing as the track is very narrow and technical not permitting much to cars but to MotoGP immediately brought back memories to me in the epic fights with Rossi vs Biaggi,Rossi vs Lorenzo many many years ago from now.I think the riders are still good enough the ones taking part in such race and I think it should a be a very beautiful race to enjoy on TV especially after seeing such boring races in F1 completely dominated by Redbull racing,I believe the race of Le Mans to be much different than those and show some good competition between the riders.

Gambling is very risky if you want to gamble use an extra money and gamble that you can afford to lose. You may be able to play with your own and make sure that you are not getting addicted to it. Because once you get been addicted in that game you will be able to lose all your money.

Yesterday greed got the best out of me and I lost all the money by buying the bonus feature in Gate of Olympus slot which I must admit is so addictive.I have been addiction free since mid 2020 and up until 2023 where a couple of times I have passed the limit set and my bankroll and have gone to chase the loses.I am not worried that by overdoing it a couple of times to fall in addiction,no because my motivation has been to try and buy a new very expensive phone like Iphone 14 pro max,so losing 100 dollars for 1400 for me is a sort of a challenge despite in the end ending up losing money.

Again,everyone loses on slots.

Looks like gpu sales doomed  Grin

Especially for not so well known brands like Colorful which I have known it only lately in the last bull run in 2021 I saw such brand in Ali Express which was all over the place and the prices strange enough were the same level or near the same as super well known brands like Evga,Palit,Gainward and MSI.

I think that now that the price of cryptos suggest we are still in the crypto winter,we most likely will only see further downside of the prices of the GPU-s,some people in Russia as pointed in another thread here are already selling 8 GPU rigs with full parts for the price of one GPU already.

Only 3 of 35 players predicted that game will end draw. I think it's a bit strange that so few people saw such outcome. In general, game was final worthy. As you said, City had more attempts to score, but Real was a bit more dangerous. Vinicius goal was really fancy, you don't see him often making such shots. 2nd leg game shouldn't less exciting


Milan derby tomorrow. Have no idea completely about this game. IMO, Inter looks a bit better now, but it can be said for almost whole season. And even if Milan doesn't looks amazing in Serie A, it doesn't reflect that much in Champions league.

yeah, only 3 people predicting draw is really a surprise
I have changed my prediction to City win from draw on Monday, just because it is hard to predict two draws, and Milan-Inter is looking more as a draw

and with that said, I expect a draw tonight, low level of football, not too many chances and close to goalless game, Milan has great keeper, Inter has four clean sheets in last five rounds
although, everything can change in case some team score fast tonight

Keep in mind that they are both from the same city,Milano and it is a derby so in theory yes it may be a goalless draw but it can also precipitate real fast if the blood boils up here.I think though that most likely you are right as both teams will try to defend and keep a draw as a result because now the away goal is void and has not the same value it had some years ago.Of course if any of the teams see a chance to grab the win they will definitely go for it and for me Inter is the favorite between the two to win as Lautaro Martinez usually in Champions League is a great player.

To get high chances of winning big at online casinos, you need to understand slot machines.
For example, some slot machines are programmed for low winnings and it's not about the RTP. It's just that the mathematical model of individual slots was initially built very poorly.

🗄 I have a lot of experience playing online casinos - more than 10 years and I know what I'm talking about.

🏆 For example, my favorite slots are from the following software - Push Gaming, Relax Gaming, Netent.

🤷‍♂️ What is your favorite software? Can you tell us more about your favorite slots?


I love high paying slots and from the providers you mention Relax Gaming has the most x time your bet,for example Money Train series has up to x100000 your bet as a max win.This is very hard to achieve and most other providers do even some simulations of one in how many spins it can net you the max win,one of such providers is No Limit City and in some of their slots they show that to hit the max win the slot has to do 10 billion spins and by looking at such data they are big turn offs for me,that is why in the end my only favorite was,is and will remain Play n Go provider.

Well that is a congestion then but I hope it starts ending and I just checked at Electrum now,it is 100 satoshi/byte for 25 blocks confirmation,I don't know what the time for that but it should be faster than 48 hours and I think it is about 5-6 hours max and I hope the network keeps speeding up as we go.

On a side note I just put 1-1 for fun as a result for the game of tonight in the pool and it got and brought me an exact score,exact scores help but I don't think it will help me much as only 4 games remain now,12 points at play and most likely winners are already predicted.

I got a bad impression about  casino Stake
I lost 15 deposits without ever withdrawing money
Seems like you had a bad luck on Stake, not bad impression. Usually I take a break from a casino if I lose 5 to 6 deposits consecutively without being able to withdraw. It has happened with me several times on Stake.com. But you kept depositing and lost 15 deposits consecutively. Try to accept your losses and move on for a while.

When you lose in a row it is better to stop or change from the games you are losing to sport betting in order to get yourself together and forget about those ongoing lost games,Stake is a huge casino and there are a lot of people losing which is normal for a casino this big but keep in mind and check those Lucky Wins and Big Wins in slot machine descriptions before playing the slot and you will see that there are the lucky people who hit well over x10000 in several of these slots so put these two facts in the balance before you keep going or stop,for me I keep going because I hope I can get one x10000 which would be enough to push me directly in profit from a lot of loses.

Real Madrid looking soft and disappointing in tonight game and it appears that the bookies were right that favored Manchester City since this first leg,as things stand right now and if City qualifies further then most likely they are going to be the Champions League winners this year which would be the greatest achievement for Pep Guardiola after being so near winning it for several years now.They have beaten Bayern Munchen,one of the teams that had 0 lost games in Champions League until they met Manchester City and now they are playing much better against the queen of Europe and if they eliminate Real,they fully deserve the title.

Maybe today we will see something amazing like 0-0? Real will not take risks, especially City in view of the decisive game at home. All in all it will be a game of three outcomes - none of them will surprise me. It makes me happy how much City is considered the favorite - it can't be so simple and even, it's football.

I have put 1-1 on the prediction pool as I have got nothing to lose while my real bet is for Real Madrid to win this game and I don't understand the bookies why such an high odd for Real at home,they have given 3.15 while for me the maximum I would give to Real tonight is 2.50 and that just because I know that City is somewhat better but the fact remains that City is still an English team which concede a lot of goals and thus most likely Real will win tonight and decide everything in the return leg most probably where I must admit City remains the favorite to qualify further from this encounter.
