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. Smiley 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.

Brighton is becoming a real team, didn't expect a win from them, even after 6 goals few days ago, and they are next for Everton, so no points there
this opens CL fight a bit, for Liverpool as well, will be interesting till the end, only in Premier league you can have several ups and downs during season and still be able to finish within top4, no team ia above others by far, except for City, they are other league I think, Arsenal gave hope for us to see surprise, but it ain't gonna happen

Brighton was helped by the referee yesterday,clearly violating the additional time given by the fourth referee,the fourth referee gave 5 minutes of additional time and the referee gave a penalty in the 97th minute which is something not good,the game should have ended 0-0 as the most logical result.The game was an open one and was thanks to the goalkeepers that kept the score 0-0 until the penalty because they did quite some nice saves yesterday night.I am very pissed off with this referee as he made me lose a couple of positions in the pool while if the game ended 0-0 I would have even climbed one position more,now I am again outside the top 10.

On land based casinos the RTP can be changed manually as I have seen this first hand when some guy used to come at night and changing the RTP of the machinery back in the distant year of 2002,it was some sort of fruit machine that people were easily addicted to it because of the beautiful fruits there and because there was not much else then.

Now that we have online casinos we have lower RTP,at least that is what being advertised by the slot publisher and we have to believe them as we have no way of verifying their truth but compared to land based ones we have huge selection in online slots and of course the RTP is much better here.

It's sad to be a Ferrari fan currently. You can see how Leclerc and Sainz has been putting their all but unfortunately, their car is really underpowered compared to Red Bull's. Only if they can come closer in the straights, but they're having that engine problem the whole season. The only way you can see Leclerc and Sainz in the podium is when something extremely unlucky happens, and that rarely happens with how well Red Bull's car performs. It will be a hard feat, but certainly not impossible as long as they make some much needed updates on the cars.

Ferrari will soon bring updates to the SF-23, and I hope this brings some significant improvement to their cars. But for now, after a bad start to the season, only such "setup adjustments" could try to improve something in the race.
If I'm not mistaken, these updates can be applied as early as the Miami GP.
Will it have a positive result?

The original SF-23 was already coveted by many Ferrari enthusiasts, but it turned out to be far below the expected performance compared to the RedBull.

We are already now in the race weekend as it is Friday.Ferrari showed some improved performance in Baku compared to themselves but not much regarding Redbull pace as Redbull overtook Leclerc even without DRS at all in the big straight in this last week.They need desperately such massive upgrades in order to have a chance to start fighting back at Redbull but honestly I am not that optimistic as these upgrades will bring that much needed performance to beat Redbull because Redbull works to upgrade their car too.

Check your transaction history if something goes off with your ZIL. If there's none to be found then you have nothing to worry about because if you've been hacked or what, then there's nothing left the hacker will allow for you to see.
Probably this could just be a glitch since as you've mentioned that ZIL is currently upgrading and the status of your wallet has been affected by it. A version of Atomic update could also be a thing here, check out if they've got some new release and update it but if there's none, then we can conclude that it's just an upgrade matter so wait until it's finished.

Yes I wrote to Atomic support and they told me that my coins are safe in the blockchain and I checked the link of my ZIL address at stake.zilliqa.com and the coins were there,they advised me to upgrade the wallet also and they pointed out to be an internet connection issue which is not at all a problem,I have a very fast connection at home.Also I am not hacked and if I were the hacker would leave trace as the transaction that he would have taken my money would be there in my wallet in the transactions tab.I will upgrade the wallet today and see if there is anymore problems but the good thing is my coins are safe.In Linux we are usually much safer than in Windows regarding hacking although lately a lot of malware is attacking Linux devices also.

So is the monthly bonus early this month as I am seeing this all over the Stake VIP telegram channels but I am not seeing it in my email so far or it will be as always in the middle of the month,I was surprised to see it as usually we get it from 13-16 day of the month but now is to early and there were big banners in those pages saying that Monthly bonus will be early this time.Just asking as for me makes no difference if it is now or after 10 days because as soon as I get I will lose it all in Gates of Olympus  Grin anyway.

I would maybe have the chance to play the level up games as it was the Green Knight there in this week challenge with just x80 multiplier which is extremely easy to get there if you play long enough.

Not 1 single telegram channel of stake says the monthly will be early.
You might have a fake channel open that  wants you to click on a phishing link. We have seen this before and you should be very careful.

Scammers create fake channels and invite real stake players just to steal their login.

As far as I know there are 2 official stake channels called stake.com-play smarter as well as stake.com - VIP Notices, that’s it. I checked both and there is not one single word about the monthly for weeks.

I have only the official Telegram channels where I get the weekly boosts and they are always the right links so I don't have any other channels.I don't see any links to the monthly bonus there(just some banners for matching deposit bonus which maybe I have confused with monthly).I don't click any links or join any other channels as I see the number of followers and usually the scammers channels have lower amount of subscribers.Anyway as I said it is not important for me as whenever it is,it is going to be played right there at the website and most likely burned down in losing it all  Grin.

Green Knight was last week as I saw this week games of the level up were others so not caring much now whenever it is,it is.

As always in delicate games usually is the referee that decides by giving a penalty in the 97 minutes while only 5 additional minutes were accorded by the fourth official.I have talked several times about such referees,have also an open thread clearly criticizing the referees who have the same behavior as this one but in England this is much less than in Italy and Spain for example where referees are doing real massacres to different games.It is funny how a referee decide the fate with a penalty in added time that was not accorded by fourth official but because of the main referee who continue playing for more than 10 minutes rather than stopping the game at 95 minute.

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.
3409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 04, 2023, 08:15:19 PM
Manchester United almost guaranteed their place in the top 4 places. Despite missing 2 games, they are 4 points higher than fifth-placed Liverpool. I believe that they will play high-quality football so that they can win in the Brighton game. We will see the result of the match tonight. Manchester United is the team that is closer to victory for me in this match.

Let’s see how the match is going to play out but seriously Brighton can’t be underrated in today's match, they’ve showed expertise in their previous match with Manchester United where they only got to win the match through penalty. Brighton is also one of the good performing teams in the Premier League currently and they really need the points today in order to have a spot in the European competitions by next season. I will say this match is unpredictable and anything can happen in today's game.

Brighton will be looking for FA Cup revenge here tonight. It's not gonna be easy as United also wouldn't break easily. Both clubs wants to play in Uefa competitions and they have to win games in order to keep the spot they are in right now. Brighton have been great this season and United also so it's gonna be tough game for sure. I am expecting Brighton to win this time today.
Brighton dominated the game a little more this time but Manchester United were in very good condition in this match but still it can be said that the performance between Brighton and Manchester United in this match was a little balanced. But it looks like MU will win this game. Because MU seems to do more attacks that are quite organized. I actually bet on a draw for this fight. But now I'm starting to doubt my bet. because it looks like Brighton will be even more under pressure.
If you look at the whole match in the first half, Brighton vs Manchester United was very interesting and Brighton dominated the game and also played very well in preshing which made it difficult for Manchester United to get the ball.
Erik ten Hag will have to change strategy in the second half for Manchester United to score but it won't be easy because Brighton's game is very good compared to Manchester United. And if both score in the second half I think it will be a draw.
Well, the performance of both of them deserves to be appreciated. And this match also displayed the same aggressiveness from both teams which made this match very interesting. And now the second half has started. and let's see what will happen in this second half. I feel enough tension from this fight. But somehow I feel that Manchester United will actually win this match.

From what I see here it looks like we are heading to a goalless draw which will be another draw like the one in the FA cup where Manchester United qualified further only by penalty shootouts and the same game play style from what I see is happening.I think both teams should be happy with this result with Brighton being more happy as they have destroyed Manchester 0-4 in the reverse fixture when playing at Old Trafford in the early stages of the Premier League as if they don't lose tonight they may think in the Premier League we didn't lose any points against Manchester United.There is still plenty of time for the result to change though and Premier League is well known for late minutes surprise goals.

I had about 5467 staked ZIL in ATOMIC wallet and now I only see the 148 ZIL I had not staked which were needed to confirm the staking,I know that there is an ongoing upgrade on the ZIL network but where did these coins got?Yesterday Atomic wallet said that all stake,deposit and withdrawal operations were suspended on the ZIL network because of this ongoing upgrade,did something nasty happened to me?I don't think so as I don't see a suspicious transaction nor I am hacked or something like that as I use Linux and my machine is super clean,I have all other cryptos here and they are all here.I hope I have not lost my ZIL,a couple of screen shots below to proof what I am saying.

Brighton will not be an easy opponent for MU in the match and vice versa, I probably won't favor one of them because I predict the result will be a draw 1 - 1 or 0 - 0 without a goal

I think you maybe right as all the bookies are clearly favoring Brighton in this game because of Manchester United really weak performances outside Old Trafford in this season and especially in these last 11 games where they fave failed in most of them.Brighton on the other hand needs the victory as they have a couple of games less than Brentford and as such they may be having a big look at European competitions spot which would not be that big of a surprise considering their form throughout the season.Nevertheless for me also the draw is the most logical result as Brighton was destroyed not long ago from Nottingham Forest 4-1 as a result and that is why I think draw is the most logical result for this game.

AMD processors and GPUs have long been produced only by TSMC, if we talk about modern solutions. However, fresh data suggests that we will soon see AMD products manufactured by Samsung on the market.
Insider OreXda, who previously announced the formation of the Samsung MX department before the company’s official announcement, claims that AMD and Samsung have already signed an agreement that implies the production of AMD products at Samsung’s facilities using the 4 nm process technology.
https://gadgettendency.com/samsung-will-release-amd-processors-the-companies-are-said-to-have-reached-an-agreement/

That is good news if two giant companies have signed an agreement together as most likely in such cases always the final beneficiary is the client.If Nvidia now sign an agreement with Intel would be better but Intel has gone another route,the route where they want to produce everything by themselves including GPU-s.

The 4 nm technology is impressive and will be even further boosted by this cooperation between these two giants in technology,can't wait to see their first product from the Samsung facilities.

I think the type of players like him can perform well even in the strongest league in the world I would judge the Premier League,in no other places we see title runner up like Arsenal failing at home and barely equalizing against the last place there Southampton.Italian league in fact for me is more difficult to score goals than the Premier League as in Italy most teams play defensively most of the times and games in these last couple of years have been boring,really boring there while in England the teams play a much more open football in general and players like Victor Osimhen with the quality he has can shine even brighter than he is doing in Italy with Napoli.
3415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 04, 2023, 09:44:09 AM
Napoli has already won the title and the city of Naples is set on fire with blue flags anywhere,people enjoying in the streets and screaming Victor Osimhen name as the main guy who contributed more than any other to this title which is exactly 33-34 years later than the last one they won in Maradona time.

Yesterday Italian TV was asking people who were young at age and that they didn't see and enjoy the last title of the distant year 1989-1990 and they all answered the same "we are going to celebrate for at least until the first game of the next Champions League" meaning they are going to celebrate until August/September 2023.I don't blame them as I would do the same if my team had over 30 years without winning the title and they win it.

The problem I would say are not developed countries but the "so called" countries under development that they have a super high level of corruption and they are not capable of managing their great natural resources all by themselves as they lose by doing so,so they need inevitably the help of the greater powers,it is not the great powers that are using them,it may be in some cases but in most case these countries need a supervision and what better supervisor than one of such great countries.

In the end it all depends on how you see the glass of water,some see it half empty and some others half full.

I think this is just to concord with Hague International Court so they are saying to Hague since they are a member that if Putin comes here we will arrest him.The truth though is much different and that is even if Putin goes there which I doubt he will but in the case he goes I don't think anyone would dare arresting here as this would create an even bigger mess than the one already in Ukraine and would move balances which are in place so far.The fact that BRICS have a lot of disagreement between them adds to the fact that most likely Putin won't go there and nothing will happen.

Every sport is affected.Soccer even more and let me tell you a funny story of a fixed game here in the country where I reside,there was a team who needed to win the Championship here (now they have been banned 10 years from all competitions,international ones I mean) and that team came in the game against one team that needed critically the points to be safe from relegation.In this team that relegated only a few players were playing at maximum power and most of the players already knew or they were told by the team president to let this game and relegate,so those players were funny as they tried hard but they didn't know anything about the upper level management and this is a joke we fans keep telling from now and then every time our team loses a game.

Since gambling started in 1998 I have said several other times the number of surprise results in a league has increased in a really enormous way.
3420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 03, 2023, 08:56:35 PM
I got lucky in tonight games as I got 4 points out of six and I doubt anyone to have predicted a correct score to Liverpool honestly although I would not be surprised if anyone did  Grin.I thought Liverpool to win 3-1 which was my prediction on the pool and I also had Manchester City 3-0 as correct score which I luckily got it.

It does not matter when Manchester City finished the job,the first half or the second as long as they get the three points and are now one point ahead Arsenal with one game less,things look pretty easy for Manchester City to become Champions of the Premier League now.
