With the morale of Perez's winning the latest race I think he can win the pole position as well. However I'm also aware that this is a very far possibility.  Awesome win man despite you not telling us what was your stake in dollars or crypto amount  .I am sure that if the odd of Perez is good enough for the win we should all be on him to win but only if we are sure there won't be any rain which the forecasts say otherwise as they are saying chances of raining for this race are real.Next we should be sure that there won't be any Safety Car which honestly after seeing the qualifying yesterday with so many errors from the drivers for me it is a sure thing that Safety Car will be in track during the race of today/tonight.I have put all I had in sport betting but there is enough time until 21.30 and if I win some of the tickets I will place F1 bets then. |

The win of Copa del Rey from Real will make many fans will think that it is just a warming up before the game on Tuesday against Manchester City but as I have said several times it won't be easy at all for Real Madrid in the Champions League.They have it as their main objective while City can even do without it as they are now comfortably ahead Arsenal in Premier League and most likely are the winners of it,still though they would want really bad the Champions League and I think that should be their primary objective also like Real Madrid.
Congrats to Real for winning the Copa del Rey but this was already known before even the game took place,Osasuna is far behind in quality compared to Real Madrid.

NVIDIA RTX 5090 to Leverage TSMC’s 3nm (N3) Node, Launching in Late 2024 The upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are planned for a late 2024 release. Like Ada, it will also be a monolithic design. According to Kopite7kimi, these GPUs will be fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm (N3) node. You can expect transistor counts of over a billion and densities of nearly 150 billion/mm². Blackwell should offer core clocks of over 3GHz and bus widths of up to 512 bits, resulting in memory bandwidths rivaling HBM memory. https://www.hardwaretimes.com/nvidia-rtx-5090-to-leverage-tsmcs-3nm-n3-node-launching-in-late-2024/For mining the bigger the number of transistors which the lower the nm production the bigger the numbers that can be fitted in should be a good choice (despite us not knowing what will happen to mining until 1.5 years from now).Rivaling the HBM memory is also a super good thing also as it means we would have much more algos to choose from when using these cards in mining.I wonder what will be AMD response to this as they did make an agreement to produce 4nm cards wtih Samsung but this news from Nvidia should clearly make them think as most likely they will lose the war again like every time against Nvidia in GPU market. |

Roma lost the game against Inter Milan while Inter Milan couldn't get good results until a few weeks ago but these days we see Inter Milan In a good situation and especially after they use Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku in the same time they will have even better performance in the games, but I think with this playing style we saw from Roma they will lose the game against Leverkusen.
Roma had a difficult last 4 rounds in Serie A, they lost to Atalanta and Inter, drew with Milan and could not even beat Monza, this of course worsened their situation, the Buyer also lost the last game to Cologne and drew with Union Berlin, so I cannot give preference to any of the teams based on their results in their championships. Both teams will look to win this tournament to secure their spot in the Champions League. The first game in Rome, Mourinho will try to win, if this does not happen, the chances of Roma will decrease significantly, if he succeeds, then he will try to keep the draw away game. Bayer Leverkussen has been not consistent at all recently but Roma has been even worse in their recent results.Mourinho may be a great coach but I like more the German mentality when they go and play in European competitions and they start with their "superiority" of being German,it is another thing if this works or not but psychologically they are in great shape and that is why for me I would lean a bit more in favor of Leverkussen to qualify further rather than Roma,this for a special reason,I have not seen Leverkussen in a final of European competition since 2001 or 2000 when they played in Champions League against Bayern Munchen. |

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 . 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 https://bt-miners.com/products/jasminer-x4-1u-etc-5g-miner-520mh-s?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. |

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.
I think that Arsenal has completely lost motivation now that they are 4 points behind Manchester City and Newcastle is a very strong team when playing at home in St.James Park.I think that Arsenal is going to lose in today game and I predict a game full of goals with Newcastle winning in the end. For Manchester United though,despite I know very well their problems on the road during all this season we should also keep in mind that they usually get the three points on the road against teams in mid table or a bit lower than that so for me most likely Manchester United is going to get a narrow win in tonight game. |

Charles Leclerc doing error after error during this qualifying which honestly with this last error we are seeing some really great starting grid for tomorrow,we see Perez first and Alonso second while Verstappen seventh,in between them a lot of unusual drivers for such high positions.The race tomorrow should not be missed based on this start that we have,we have an Aston Martin second and the other one in 18th place,we have a Russell in 2nd row and Hamilton starting 13th,it looks like it is going to be an awesome hell of a race and Leclerc saying sorry to the team in the radio means nothing for me.

Worst ever qualifying on US soil for Lewis Hamilton which is out of Q2 now and is 13th on the grid for tomorrow race.His team mate made it to the top ten being last there and Alfa Romeo made it to Q3 for the first time during this season.It is a strange track this one in Miami as the track conditions changed a lot during Q1 and Q2 and even drivers we are not used to see in top 10 there are a lot of them in Q3 now from not the greatest teams.
The only one who looks to not care much about track conditions is Verstappen which is doing fastest laps even when he comes out first of the pits and even when he comes in the last 2 minutes,Leclerc seems to have found pace,it looks interesting for tomorrow race no matter what happens in this final session of the official qualifying.

What a piece of shit you are Joao Felix, you blow my exact score...
And Villa i need that goal a draw.
Manchester City really strange game, and really few goals i didnt spect that, Leeds its by far the worst team defending in the league, also City its struggling a lot to close the games in the last two games at home.
I thought with these results I would have lost at least some 5 places but I saw that everybody else did not do well in this strange week for results in Premier League.Liverpool is winning 1-0 for the second time or do I remember wrong here and this is really strange,a team like Liverpool who loves to score as many goals as possible and also Tottenham which usually makes games where a lot of goals are scored ended 1-0,the same for Aston Villa which for me was the biggest surprise of the week as a result,two consecutive lost games for them means their good results have ended and lately really surprised for the good by the Chelsea win. |

Have to admit am a bit confused here, we had a Friday pole decider last race, but today it's back to normal Saturday right? Ferrari seems a bit happy even if Leclerc ended FP2 early, as the car appears to be all right. He's not even on my podium though, suspect he ends the race with incident.
Russell will be upset he didn't retain his FP1 performance but I guess I should be happy I stuck with Verstappen in pole... and guess who but Tsunoda back in my finishing at #10. Will need Ocon or someone else to crash out though heh.
Qualifying session is organized on Friday on the weeks that there are sprint races. There is a calendar like this I have found for that after checking it. Maybe it would be better if cls63 adds this calendar into the first post. Russell has started to fall behind Hamilton in the recent weeks. I didn't like his performance in the practice sessions very much. I think you are right but this is normal.When you have not a winning car the motivation keeps falling and you think about the race "oh it is just another race weekend" and that is why Russell is starting to fall behind.In the latest Practice 3 that finished 19 PM in European time the Mercedes screwed up really big but I believe in the official qualifying starting just one hour from now I am confident that they will be in the top ten. The race I am sure will be much more interesting than Baku was last week,the track is more technical and shorter which will hopefully make some fights between different manufacturers during the race and I am hopeful for an eventful race tomorrow. |

I'm not an expert when it comes to different terms in sportsbook and gambling. I usually place bets on X to win, X to score etc in cricket and soccer both. I have never seen the terms "back" and "lay" in any Casino. Maybe I didn't notice them. I joined a casino today and found both terms and I'm confused what should I do. It says back (1.03) and Lay (1.04). What does these terms mean? Any easy explanation?
I have not seen such terms in reputable casinos and maybe the casino where you are seeing is not one of such but in most casinos where I play I only see money lines which should be the equivalent of back and I am assuming Lay should be the equivalent of Asian Handicap. I advise you to stop playing in such casinos as the terms are quite confusing even for me which I am playing from a long time,you should play in the casinos that have a great ANN thread here in this very section as by playing in those casinos you even risk even worse things,like not getting your money.Anyway if you tell us the name of the casino we can give better insights. |

Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.
I don't even think if real madrid has been dropping so hard. I meant we are talking about UCL. Real madrid may be having bad results in the previous matches on la liga but it's quite different when it comes to the UCL. Real madrid is still having good win rate at this moment as well as manchester city. Ancelotti is putting a lot of his focus in the match against manchester city caused by it will become the hardest match for real madrid. It will be even far harder compared with the match against barcelona. Real Madrid needs to take serious preparation right now. De bruyne is coming back right now. Real madrid needs to use everything to stop haaland. Haaland is the main problem for real madrid. As long as real madrid knew how to stop him and it's gonna be a very important thing for madrid to win the game against city in santiago bernabeu. I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real. Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again. |

Alonso could have overtaken Leclerc in the latest race in fact but Leclerc didn't let this happen this time.
tough choice for third podium spot, first two spots are already secured, maybe ain't gonna happen on the race, but most will probably go with Red Bull team for top2 since the race will be late in the night in my area, there are chances that I will actually watch it, and hope that it will be interesting, hoping to see better results from Mercedes, but it does not look good at the moment, maybe last practice will show more of an improvement I doubt the second place for Redbull as the first one I also agree Verstappen driving skills in a car like Redbull will most likely win him this race.Ferrari made some good upgrades but for me momentarily they are only for the single lap more than for the complete race,who knows though a good strategy can secure them 2nd spot.I know that if Ferrari keeps improving little by little every single race and if they bring those massive upgrades promised maybe we will have a chance to see them fight for winning races as they did last year. On a side note to everyone,you have time to put your predictions to get the EBP until 22 PM European time which is when official qualifying starts. |

Politics is just subjective.
The way politics is played in your country is not what is obtainable in all countries.
While some cry and grumble, some other people als recieve dividends of the government
I agree,politics is a wide subject.I have never found any interest in it as I believe much more in my skills rather than relying on going after governments politics and hoping for something in return.There are a lot of people though that love politics and they are avid followers and supporters of a party for example and they are used to such life,they only have jobs when this such party wins the elections and as soon as their party loses the elections after some years for example they are left again in the road in the middle of nowhere. Therefore the best thing to do is to not follow politicians or parties as they favor a few over the many and you have never the same job security that you can find at a private company. |

Ferrari improvements seems to be real Source: https://www.crash.net/f1/results/1025579/1/f1-2023-miami-grand-prix-friday-practice-resultsAs long as Ferrari keeps them coming and as long as the distance of just 0.300 is real also in the race distance and not for a single lap we may have a Championship open again.I would love to see the massive upgrades which should come to at least since the Monaco track of F1 from Ferrari but in that track probably we won't notice them as it is a really slow track so most likely after that track we would see some nice upgrades to this Ferrari which seems to have picked up pace. Miami is a nice track but seeing Verstappen and his driving skills I doubt anyone else except him will win this race unless he has some mechanical or electrical failure. |

Bournemouth is currently sitting in 13 places in the premier league standing and have been fairly impressive this season the home side threaded leads united 4-1 last week and will need to work hard to achieve similar results in this match. Chelsea so far have not been playing as expected due to their poor form from the start of the season they slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal although Chelsea has a good record against Bournemouth and have won 12 out of their 18 matches this season and will need to make the best out of their remaining matches
If Chelsea should have a good record against Bournemouth that should be in previous seasons. This current season has been extremely rough for Chelsea and with the recent form Bournemouth has picked in their last matches especially their last game against Leeds United they might pose serious threat to Chelsea possibly shifting them to 13th position on the table I think Chelsea before going directly to win from so many lost games and even outside their home they first need to get a draw and that is why I think most likely we will see a goalless draw or a 1-1 one.Usually a team like Chelsea in such a bad position rarely goes directly from a lot of lost games to winning one.Bournemouth on the other hand is doing great recently and they even have a won game against Liverpool not that long ago which shows that they as a team have somewhat of a stability recently.Based on these facts I conclude a draw to be the most likely result in this game. |

Upsets are rare and profitable and not everyone has the courage to take a risk and bet on the underdogs, but those who do are rewarded with huge profits.
So I'd like to ask
Have you bet on the underdogs and won?
How many times you did this?
And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?
Your level of risk when betting for underdogs in the hope of winning by upsets?
I have bet a couple of times and I have won them,lately I got a win which I have posted in some thread here with over 22 odds that I won it and in there were two upsets.I will only stop at one which was Clermont from Ligue 1 playing against a team in a much better position and the odd of Clermont was near 4 (not a big one but a good one for me) and the reason I choose it was not because of an inside tip,it was because of me watching the stats and Clermont had 5 consecutive wins and this win was the 6th,I know many people would have refrained to bet on them but sometimes you just have to read the data to be a great bettor. I rarely do this as rarely I see data wrong from the bookies,most of the time they have better insights than me. |

I've been using an excel spreadsheet for years and I've finally decided to use a tracker app.
I've heard coinstats and coinmarketcap are good. I've also heard there is a new platform launching soon called unlockstats. What would people recommend?
To keep track of what is going on in the crypto arena and being constantly updated in prices I use coinmarketcap which is good to do this.However we are also in need of such an app that can offer us the same thing as coinmarketcap but which can do that for mining coins,which coins come,which coins is being mined and being loved,which coins are not being mined anymore as are not profitable and so on.I don't think we have such an app as I see in the mining section that different people put up a new thread for a new coin that can be mined. I don't think excel sheet are a good option when for example coinmarketcap gives you up to 1 year of data and all time low and all time high of a coin which is what needed before we make any decision,investment decision. |

While the position below Brighton is Tottenham in 7th place with 54 points, 8th place Aston Villa with 54 points, and 9th place Brentford with 50 points, and Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford have both played 34 match. This means that with Brighton's advantage they still have 2 matches left because now Brighton has only played 32 matches with 55 points won, it will be difficult for the ranks below to catch up to enter the UEL zone.
All Brighton can do is secure a foothold in zone, that allowing them to play in the EL, even though they have games in hand they won't be able to get higher than 5th place. Newcastle and Manchester United look out of reach, in the remaining 5 matches they will not lose their positions. Now Potter is watching Brighton play and thinking that agreeing to be Chelsea manager might not have been the best idea. But on the other hand, he got a great experience, and also had the opportunity to play in the Champions League, and even beat Dortmund. For Brighton that would be a huge achievement to play in any European competition.I am sure in the beginning of the season if they were asked which were their objectives they would have said to play beautiful football and to continue staying in the Premier League.So for Brighton is something great to achieve,we have seen West Ham doing pretty well in Europa Conference league this season while they are on the semi final and next season who knows where can Brighton go. I agree Potter made an error going to Chelsea as I don't think that experience will count much for his next assignment no matter that he even did beat Dortmund there,overall his experience was bad,the same as that of Lampard now which together they have ruined Chelsea during this season. |
