Russia is an isolated country now which no one gives a damn about them anymore and I say damn to just not say something worse.They are the only responsible to such failure,they have lost people,they have lost ammunition and tanks,fighters and all sort of military device in this conflict.They have been put under heavy sanctions and the average Joe in Russia is feeling the consequences,no one in US or Europe looks to any average Russian with empathy anymore and some of these countries are also closing borders with Russia,something I would say should do any European country,let them live in that "imperial Russia in their fairy lands".

Economically speaking they would need at least 40 years to catch up with the developed world so I wonder why are some people still saying Russia is winning the war when they have already lost it in a lot of very important fronts.

It's true that Pep Guardiola once said that and it seems that Pep's words will forever haunt other teams competing in the Champions League, including his own team, Manchester City. There is no doubt about Real Madrid's magic in the Champions League, they can always do things beyond the capabilities of most other teams and that is what makes Real Madrid so feared or respected. What is clear is that Pep Guardiola's mission is now 100% focused on defeating Real Madrid first because if they make it to the finals then he won't worry too much about his next opponent.

Real madrid is always having something new. This club is king of comeback. Many people have known so well how many times real madrid was doing crazy comeback. Manchester city shall have taken it as serious measurements. I meant let's say that if real madrid will be losing in santiago bernabeu but iw will always make comeback when it was even playing away. The mentality from real madrid's players has been tested so many times. It's the time for ancelotti to give UCL again for the second time in a row.
It will become a great achievements by ancelotti if his club will able to take UCL trophy again this season. Im feeling so confidence with the current composition that owned by real madrid at this moment.
The bad results in the previous matches meant nothing for me as real madrid was not using the best squad against sociedad and girona. We will see that king to come back again to get its UCL trophy.

This is the true final for Real Madrid as I have no doubt that the Champions of Champions League this year is going to be either Real Madrid either Manchester City.I have seen Inter and Milan how they play and their quality is way far behind compared to the one of Real or City.For me though in the encounter of tomorrow for Real vs City,Real maybe playing at home but I am afraid this won't be enough to stop the City of this moment which they are like a mean machine who can beat everyone,if Real indeed manages to win at Bernabeu would very good for them but still when they got to face City in the home of City I am sure City can overcome any result Real may get tomorrow.

I got an Antminer S5 somewhere in a box collecting dust in my basement. I think with all these crazy BTC fees we are getting it might be profitable again.

I modded this ASIC and it’s fairly quiet and you can probably sleep in the same room. Would sure bring back memories to the good old 2015 days when Bitcoin was $200.



If electricity permits and even if it does not as long as you are a firm believer of Bitcoin increase in price in the future and you expect like many others no longer than the end of 2025 to be the next bull run go ahead and turn it on,even if it is just for a few days or weeks.Even better if you can sleep in the same room with it meaning it is extremely quiet and the more quiet it is the less energy should it consume no?

I wonder why we got to these crazy Bitcoin fees as nothing really happened in the market to make such huge fees out of nowhere.

I have to say that it is your lucky week although you have not hit the max win the the games. Around a week ago you hit nice multiplier in Gates of Olyimpus and a week later you hit another nice multiplier in Starlight Princess. Well congrats on your nice results and maybe you need to consider yourself to take a break for a while to enjoy your profit. Recently I saw many new games from Pragmatic such as the Excalibur Unleased and Wild Bison Charge which seems to be having a new different gameplay or at least it is not just old games with different theme. Have you tried them?

Sometimes in some games they make it so that it appears that you are winning, or getting a rare result often, but my guess is that it's really not something that valuable/rare.

These casinos are the masters of creating the idea that you are constantly winning, or getting ahead, while in reality you are just slowly going broke.

The game system might make us think that we are winning but it will be temporary because often time gambler will look at his bankroll and see that he is losing.  The illusionary trap of the slots of making us gain a win by giving us a small amount of winnings regularly is often broken by simply looking at our bankroll.

I agree that slots are created that way so it is a nice thing to look at our funds from time to time to have a fund check to see if the time spent on the slots is profitable or not.
You know the saying: the house never loses. Slots? A prime example. Feels like you're on fire, scoring tiny wins all over. Truth is, those wins just bait you, funneling cash into the machine.

Not saying you can't enjoy the game. Stay cool, though, and don't let alluring multipliers fog your vision. New Pragmatic games? They're eye-catching, sure. But they're games, built to snatch our cash and lure us back. Next time you're riding high on a winning wave, pause and assess your funds. Better safe than wiped out in a heartbeat.

Well I think we should be careful and if we win it big we should withdraw but if the game is just teasing us with small wins to keep us playing as long as we are playing in a rakeback/cashback enabled casino the longer we play the better the rakeback/cashback we get in the end so longer sessions even if we lose some money they have side benefits like this one and that is why I love slots,I am getting something back even if I lose all my balance.

The rakeback/cashback can then be used whenever we want it,I usually go for sport betting as it is normally a lower value although it can be a huge one depending on how much money we have wagered.

Congrats to rdbase for this week yellow cap and the hoodie.I think that the guys who made 16 points were all to found the correct podium and that gave them 8 points which made them be in the top this week.I am extremely happy for myself though who made 14.5 points but without getting that 4 extra points that the top guys got from the exact podium prediction.I hope to continue the same performance throughout all the season to be able to be like last year always 2nd or 3rd in points classification in every race and I am sure in the end it will pay off with a winning place from this year pool,that is my main objective.

For the moment we are all near each other with a very small difference in points and that is showing that is pool is extra competitive.

Recently got to know a friend of mine passed away half a year ago from the gossip, I thought the chat is just a joke or mistaken with another person with same name, in my best guess, there is no chance at all, I still texting with the deceased frequently over the mobile app until the end of 2022, we are so close we basically talk about all things, I also tell him about bitcoin which he seem to be listening, I also think he like to talk about Jesus everyday and all the post on his social media wall is all about Jesus, and he is a devoted to Jesus and such, however I remember to tell him to stop taking the JABS, because I take NO JAB, totally zero JABS, but he took every damn jab included all the booster JABS, I think there is a total of four jabs he took so he can got to save his job, I'm not saying the JAB kill him, but it was a shockwave to me, I was told he was declared commit suicide on news, that he is sleeping and never wake up again since no wound or bleeding, until his parent found him breathless and realize he passed while sleeping, it is too spooky to me, to my best knowledge I highly suspect it is another story.

That is as much I would expose, I would like to keep the rest of the juicy detail confidential for some reason. I would not entertain request.

btw he is very hardworking guy, and yes he is still a complete virgin and no single girl want to date him or approach him, a very typical nerd engineer guy who did very well in school.

That remind me of the last recession where I see the same incident occuring, I'm not predicting anything btw.

I recently visited Austria and if you are talking about the vaccine calling the doses JABS,I am afraid you may be right.I saw in Austria people talking about such a high number of deaths from heart attacks that they had never heard before and honestly in my view this cannot be a coincidence,Austria,specifically Vienna is a place I travel often for work and since the vaccine things have precipitated for the worse,people are not happy and are suffering a lot of unexplained deaths which are happening exactly after people made the vaccine doses in order to enter restaurants,McDonalds,super markets like Billa,Lydl and Spar and all other facilities but which are now resulting in an increased fatality rate.

Some may say it is just a coincidence but for me it is absolutely not such a thing.Anyway who am I to be telling this to WHO.In fact WHO deceived us all,the vaccines did nothing to stop spread the virus,the virus just did it's journey and it is now like a normal flu.

@Fivestar4everMVP, my current minimum faucet reward is 7 satoshi and I'm not a premium user. If you look at the information displayed on the main page, you can see that you can increase the minimum reward by betting on events, buying lottery tickets, or playing multiply bets until your min reward per hour is 133 sats (that's what it shows to me).

I don't remember doing anything other than buying lottery tickets regularly, which pays off in the long run because the lowest prize on the faucet increases.
Wow, this is absolutely good to know, and of course, I've been buying lottery tickets, though not that frequently, maybe the reason mine had not increased is because I don't buy lottery tickets as frequent as you do.
I will now start buying lottery tickets as frequent as possible from now.. Initially, I though the only way to increase the satoshi earnings from faucet is by playing the Hi Low game, and it's been a while i played that game last, since am not so lucky and have never won. 🤓

I thought that playing the Hi-Lo game was the fastest way to increase your base reward but let us know how quickly you can increase it by buying lottery tickets as I am also curious.
I think it is too soon to place a bet on the BTC price yet but the odd for the range between 30,001 and 32,500 is pretty juicy right now indeed

You have it right on that page where the site says that you increase your base reward 20 times faster and I have forgotten compared to what but keep in mind that it is 20 times faster which you can increase it faster than any other way.I understand though why people love more the hi-lo game and that is because by doing it you get also side benefits as RP,lottery tickets and even GT tickets for the Lambo draw and that is why most people keep using that as the main resource to increase the base rewards,including me.

Seems like LFC tactic/strategy to curse Manchester United and Newcastle its working really well.

Talking seriously, really bad timing and bad performance for Manchester United, they have a really good and healthy gap against the other teams, but now.... they have to wake really fast if they dont want to lose the Champions League spot.

And Brighton can they go for the miracle?

For today Brighton in theory is the easiest game of all of the three,I think the three games should be home wins but Brighton even more.If Brighton can beat Newcastle and also get good results from the other games they have less,a miracle can become true although I think this is highly unlikely in a league like the Premier League.

Manchester United screw up really big again and I think with such results which I am sure they will continue to suffer,most likely they will be out of the top 4 and Liverpool is right there to take profit of such opportunity as Liverpool lately is on a great run.

As of Q1 2023, Backblaze managed 236,893 HDDs. The report assesses the reliability and failure rates of various models, and since its inception, the company has witnessed 17,155 HDD failures.
Backblaze, the cloud storage and storage analytics expert, has published a comprehensive report detailing the reliability of hundreds of thousands of hard drives employed in the company's servers. On average, the failed hard drives had an operational lifespan of merely two years and six months, which is less than the minimum three-year warranty mandated by European law.

https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/backblaze-hdd-reliability-report-insights-on-failure-rates-and-lifespan.html
Well well well

The "Green coins" can't help it but continue disappointing the hopefuls, can they?

I wonder where the damaged hard drives end up being dumped. In space or on the very Earth that they are trying to "protect" from Bitcoin mining?

You said it right,there are no green coins and in fact the CHIA damaged hard drives are more of a pollution to earth than it is GPU mining which have a much lower fail rate compared to hard drives used for mining.This is a total failure from the green standpoint of CHIA,claiming something to be not true and demonstrated by data of an impressive number of failed hard drives in mining.

I don't think that the energy used in Bitcoin mining and other coins,is energy intensive as most claim,in fact it is less than 1% of all the energy consumption in the world but the corrupted people are doing all they can to bash on Bitcoin mining in specific and mining in general.

From the games of today in theory they should be all home wins but the one most likely to be a sure win is Brighton vs Everton.Brighton is in a good position in the league and they have a couple of games less which if they manage to win they got to go in European competitions during the next season which for them would be a great achievement.In fact they may even aim for a miracle to get to the 4th place and make history by going for the Champions League spots if they win all their games that they have less which they are 3 games.They have a strong game in midweek this one or the next at Newcastle which can shatter that dream.

Hi we are changing the reward system and we would like to have some feedback before launch the new system

What kind of rewards/bonuses do you like ?

Welcome bonuses , cashback , freespins etc ?

or what kind of rewards would you like to see in an online casino ?

Thanks

The ones not mentioned here which means,ongoing daily,weekly and monthly bonuses.Free spins I have used to play at a casino which offered the bonuses in free spins and I have no real good use of them as you may win one time and lose 99 other times when you play slot machines.The best bonus is without a doubt the monthly bonus which is usually the biggest one compared with the other bonuses as it is recurring every month as long as you are active in the casino and this bonus I decide where to play it,in slot machines or in sport betting or other games and that is why the ongoing bonuses are the best one can get.

The fees are high but I don't think they will be staying that high.I usually send with a low priority and I don't care much to wait for about 25 block for 1st confirmation as that is the lowest Electrum wallet lets me use as fees when I use static ones.For people using dynamic fees they should change to static if they want to deposit at less fees but of course the wait time will be higher.Nevertheless even with 25 confirmations the deposits I have made have been confirmed with just an hour or a bit more which I think I can clearly wait for this as long as I am playing sport betting and even slot machines.

Not really that shocking for Max to win, many believed that Perez could, because Perez started at pole position and Max was 9th so everyone assumed Max wouldn't really be getting the win today. But looking at his pace on practice runs and the qualifying results before the red flag, dude was faster than anyone else there. Maybe he found the ideal racing line better than others, maybe his car was better than even Perez's car, whatever the reason was, he ended up being faster before the race as well, and easily showed that during the race. I guess we could start congratulating him on his championship for a third time already. He looks like the guy who may retire for a year or two when he is young and come back later on, that just feels like he is too easily winning titles. I doubt he would go for 8 titles, he would win maybe a bit more, go race some other thing, and come back later on to keep on winning titles again, or maybe on a much worse team to just have fun.

Max showed that he is a mature driver now completely different when he was crashing to his team mates and every one near him not that many years ago.In the interview after the race he said it clearly,I stayed out of trouble in the first lap and then I took each car one by one until I clearly was second.He said that they did think a lot about the strategy for these tires yesterday night and in the end it paid off,not for nothing though it was thanks to his extreme bravery,he was doing fast lap after fast lap even when his hard compounds were completely gone after 25 laps which was the winning move for the race.

Perez should have pushed much harder in the first stint but he wanted to conserve somewhat the tires to go and do more laps with them and this was the losing move for the race for him.

Redbull making it 1-2 again and making everyone else look like GP2 cars and it is 5 wins that they do 1-2 to 1-2 I believe.I wonder why should we continue to see this season as this F1 race was very boring and the difference Redbull had on every other single team is devastating,be it Verstappen who won again thanks to his bravery to bring the hard tires up to 45 laps and doing super fast laps with them even after 25 laps and the tires were well consumed,this was what won him the race tonight and Perez could not do anything as Verstappen had a better strategy,anyway it is not this,it is that no other team at all is showing at least some signs of recovery against Redbull,this season reminds me 2009 with Brawn GP.

Newcastle vs Arsenal
West Ham vs Man Utd

I will be hoping for two home wins to keep Liverpool’s slim top 4 hopes alive.

Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal
West Ham 1-0 Man Utd

Well this worked out well Wink

Top 4 we are coming (maybe).

Great findings,hope you put them on the pool also as I got exactly 0 points in the games of tonight in the pool.I think Liverpool has real chances especially now that Manchester United is in one of the worse moments of the whole season for them,losing against every single team they play away from home.I did not expect an easy win for Arsenal but they made Newcastle look like a team of league one as for the Championship they would be far away with today performance,the ease of Arsenal scoring goals told me that Newcastle is only a strong team against weaker teams.Let's hope tomorrow games are a bit better.

PSG playing against a team already relegated are just having fun and not playing seriously as if they were playing seriously the result should have already been 0-5 or more for these 40 minutes of the game.PSG is just playing for fun while they are already Champions of the Ligue 1 and I did bet on them to win and both teams to score as most likely they would play care free without much pressure,both teams got nothing to play for,Troyes already relegated and PSG most likely already Champions.So far the result is 0-1 but I am confident we will see a lot of goals in the second half.

Monaco is back at winning again but is a team to not be trusted in betting.Lyon vs MontPellier ending with over 8 goals was a super entertaining game and Lyon won in the last minutes,overall a good week for the Ligue 1 who most of the time is extremely boring.

Even Verstappen made a statement like he aimed the second place during this race after having a poor qualifying session for himself. But Verstappen is still a very ambitious driver so he would do his best for the win anyway. In the end there is no meaning in his letting Perez win without competing hard with him now. Perez is right behind him in driver standings and winning this race will carry him to the lead also.

The weather conditions are also an issue of concern here. Because there have been some rain during the day in Miami. If the track doesn't dry until the race starts then the race can get pretty interesting. This can even be an opportunity for other drivers from different teams to have a much better finish. For example who knows it might even be an opportunity for Alonso to win a race as he is starting in second place already.  Grin

The weather conditions is what made me place a funny bet on both McLaren cars to be in the Top 6 at the odd of 101,I just placed some cents in this to add to the emotion of the race,I also bet a couple of other bets like Stroll in top 6 and then in top 8 because I believe Stroll to do a great race as I am assuming he will be starting with hard tires and to be driving a long time without the pit stop and who knows what happens with the safety car and the rain predicted.

For the race winner I have no doubts it will be Perez as long as we are racing in normal conditions but since most likely we are not going to have normal conditions because of the weather I think that this race is a gamble and a lottery and can be anyone win here.

There goes the season for United. a backlog at West Ham United. Always a tough game but they can't lose it, can they? Very favorable for Newcastle, which itself loses to Arsenal today. Arsenal have been very good all season, but City are slightly better, especially in the last few weeks. Arsenal must be on a kind of pink cloud right now. But on the other hand also frustrating because there is 1 team that is just a bit better. In any case, we will see Arsenal again in the CL next season, it was about time that the Gunners started playing there. After all, that was a while ago. I remember Arsenal being undefeated champions of England once, they were really good. With Bergkamp etc.

I like many others I believe were deceived by the bookies and bet on Newcastle to win,something in normal circumstances I would never bet on them and bet on Arsenal on that very good odd of 2.85 but as dumb as I am I thought that maybe Arsenal had lost motivation to continue fighting for the title,something clearly wrong by my calculations.

I have bet on Manchester United to win as they usually win even away when playing against mid table teams or a bit lower like West Ham but West Ham just scored and is winning the game,funny enough Premier League is not being good and I had a feeling about this as rarely I have seen a game on Sunday in the Premier League to be played at 20 PM European time,hopefully Manchester recovers or they will lose to Liverpool that spot for Champions League during these last games of the season.

For me it is the first time I hear about them,also when I watch sports like soccer games or F1 races online in certain streaming websites they come out with all sort of ads that redirect to well known and not at all well known casinos.For me I use a golden rule which if anyone follows he will have never problems and that rule is,once you have found a stable and reputable casino offering a lot of games selection,almost instant withdrawals and deposits,ongoing bonuses daily,weekly and monthly I find absolutely no reason why some person should try other casinos at all,may be I am a bit of a fanatic but by following this rule I have never had any problems gambling and I do so from many years.

After getting angry at Russell in the Azerbaijan GP this time Verstappen must be really frustrated after Leclerc's simple mistake and having an accident after. Leclerc also stated that he was so sad about making this mistake twice on the same race week. Perez has a good opportunity in hand as a result but let's see how effectively he will use it. He was pretty impressive in the previous race.

Verstappen would be the only threat to him even though Verstappen will start in 9th position. I wonder how determined he will be this time to overtake Perez and be the winner.

To try to lessen this guilt from Leclerc, RedBull boss Christian Horner declared that Verstappen and Leclerc's mistakes were caused by gusts of wind Roll Eyes

It was unfortunate to see Verstappen start only in ninth place because, on top of that, he aborted his first attempt in Q3 because of a slip he had.

I understand F1's safety rules, but I keep asking myself if it was really so necessary to interrupt practice with only 2 minutes left and LecLerc's car stopped several meters from the track. I think they could have followed normally until the end, or does anyone disagree?

Absolutely not.There was no reason to stop the Q3 to not start again,for me it should not have stopped at all but since they put a Red flag they should have started or better restarted the Q3 as there were 1.38 minutes,enough for every car to come out and try one final lap for those that still could.I understand that Leclerc could not but I am sure Verstappen were ready and a lot of other drivers were waiting to improve themselves because the track conditions as we saw throughout the whole qualification kept improving so F1 safety rules are becoming a joke,a real bad joke for me.
