I feel like it is not Max Verstappens talent that is the only reason why he is leading the season right now, the car is also a dominating one and that's why he was so easy to just let them pass.

This way we are talking about basically overtaking them within span of few laps when the time came. He literally let the other drivers take him over at the start so that they wouldn't crash, knowing that he has a much faster car, and I mean much much faster, and in the end he didn't even needed that at all, because it was a rolling start and finish as well. Ferrari on the other hand looking as terrible as they could potentially look, they are really not even around, and they need to change something quickly.

Maybe he let them in the start but I think more that Mercedes drivers are better than him at the start,we already seen this a couple of times last season but these are not important now.What is important as you also pointed out is that he overtook the cars like it was a Playstation game and not a real race,this shows that Redbull is still dominating big time and even if it were Perez starting first,he would have also won the race based on the conditions and all those red flags and restart we saw on Sunday.Nothing to do except to wait for the other teams to catch up with Redbull and this for fans is not beautiful at all.

You can never trust a team like Tottenham,they started the first half of the game yesterday night suffering a lot of attacks from Everton and it looked like they could not do anything to hold back Everton until they got a red card early in the second half of the game.Even when everything looked in favor of Tottenham and they scored,they could just not keep up with the pressure from Everton despite Everton being with ten men for that part of the game and they kept the pressure going until they scored and even Tottenham got a red card.

I dont know what to expect on Baku, the only thing i want its to any team to catch a little RedBull they make the race really boring, they are a flash against the other cars.

Lets see if the step forward of Mercedes was only a good mood with the track of if they really find some pace.

The big surprise for me in this track was Alpine, really in pace and fighting against Ferrari. But i think its not so mensurable because i see a lot of teams in the fight when they normally cant fight, so i dont know.

I don't think Mercedes has improved dramatically at the point to beat Redbull.We saw in this last race as both drivers of Mercedes had a much better start than Redbull during the restarts of the race but when it come to Verstappen overtaking these drivers on track it looked like a Playstation game more than like a race competition as Redbull seem to have an additional gear compared to the other cars which makes me pessimistic in predicting some team catching up with them.

As for Baku which is 3 weeks away because China race is suspended,I only hope that we don't see mechanical failures like we saw last race as both Ferraris were out because of such problems.

I have about $600 and would like to know the best graphics card I can find for that money

If you have just 100 dollars more you can get a pretty decent used Rtx 3090 and with the money you have you can get a Rtx 3080 I think which is the second best card of the series 3000 (not counting the 3080 ti which came later and is in the same league as 3090).If you are asking for mining 3090 and also 3080 are great cards too,the only problem is that now we are in that crypto winter or bear market as everybody else calls it and the profits are not that good.

With just one such card in your home PC if your PSU accepts it,you can try mining before venturing further,you can keep the card to play games and do other activities during the day and try mining at night,you would get an idea.With that money though,3080 is the best option or you can buy 2 x Rtx 2080 ti which gives you the same hash rate as the 3090.Lots of choices now that the prices of video cards are down.

I agree @LFC_Bitcoin Hendo is past his years but he/Milner are giving way more on the pitch then say, Fabinho, who seems to be giving up running. Even Gakpo was doing more midfield work than Fab when we were chasing back. Also, I still think we're suffering from last season having no break and wringing our players dry. That's not defending how bad they've been, just I think the club didn't act smart to replenish the team with fresh legs etc.

El Shitico is the most accurate assessment of tomorrow's game. Problem is, no more Potter and Rodgers and Conte to help people forget how bad Liverpool is.

It is true that Liverpool in its current form is not satisfying its fans and supporters. I believe that Liverpool needs new players after all the disruptions it has suffered this season, especially in midfield and a striker. Therefore, we will need to see that this summer.

Tomorrow we will face the Blues away, and I don't think I will bet on this match. We will see if Liverpool can achieve a victory against Chelsea, which itself has not achieved the desired results this season.

At the moment, we have a match between Tottenham and Everton, and there are only two minutes left in the first half, and the result does not serve either club. I hope that Tottenham can score in the second half and achieve the expected result of 2-0.

I think Liverpool can beat Chelsea especially after Chelsea management firing Potter at a very delicate part of this season.The first to benefit from such move it will surely be Liverpool which is going to win that game.I doubt that firing Potter was the right move to make at such time,right before a very important all in encounter which they have against Real Madrid in Champions and which is the only choice for Chelsea to compete in Europe next season too,but that is highly unlikely for them to qualify further.

On the game of tonight,Everton strange enough is pressuring a lot and Tottenham which has a golden opportunity to solidify their run to be in the top 4 are missing out,I hope this changes in the second half.

This is a result that was beyond everyone's expectations, even if you look at the odds from the bookmaker they favor Napoli to win. But did not expect that Milan beat Napoli with a score of 0-4 without reply. Even without Osimhen who is currently injured, it is very difficult for Napoli to score goals in this match, maybe their defense is also very fragile in the match which makes Milan even more free to score goals. This was their second defeat at home, having previously only lost to Lazio this season.
I didn't foresee Napoli to lose to Milan by a score of 0-4. Because Napoli is leading the Seria A league and has a significant lead over other clubs that are vying for the league trophy, I picked them to win. Nevertheless, Napoli's loss to Milan doesn't matter as much in the Seria A but it shouldn't happen in the champions league in the coming days(12th and 15th of April) because they will be playing against the same Milan that defeated them in the Seria A


It will be a completely different thing when they face each other in the Champions League as Napoli is already Champions of Serie A and they did not focus that much on that game,they did not care if they lost the game as nothing changes in Serie A standings.Of course they never expected to lose 0-4 on yesterday game but sometimes it just happens.

Napoli wants at all cost to qualify further for the Champions League as once they qualify in semi-finals they will find either Benfica or Inter Milan,teams which I think are in their reach to go to the final if they focus on them but first they need to win against Milan and that will be a really interesting game,totally different from the yesterday one.

I think that maybe this question might have repeated over time but still I was Saying that I have seen that when we loose almost 50% of our portfolio in loss than we get nervous and we don't know what to do. As we work hard and make our lives better but we end up loosing our money. So I think these cloud be main symptoms. And these are listed below as these are according to me.
1. First things is that we want all in all to cover our losses in just one bet.
2. We use leverage that is more than enough to blow account in matter of minutes and that is very bad.
3. We don't know what to do.
4. We get addicted to gambling and that is bad.
5. We become frustrated and some people end up loosing their lives cause they don't have any choice.


By the way don't Roast me 🙂😜

I was once in such situation and that was when playing slots.The fact that you know instantly if you have won or lost in such type of game makes you want to come back for more,the providers keeps getting better and better in providing you a storyline,a great art effects and great sound track to keep you hooked and time looks like it is flying when playing and enjoying these games,the only problem is that money also looks like is flying away  Grin from you and that is the first sign of addiction,you need more money to try and get that jackpot.

How I came out of it is simple,I just migrated to sport betting as in here for example most weekdays the games are late at night and you have to wait for the result of the games to know if you are a winner or too,this removes from you that urge to gamble that inevitably brings someone to addiction.There are other ways to fight it but this one seems to be working well.

I'm using this but at the current price point the highest profitable GPU in the market is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti Revenue around ~ $6 or so and breakeven about a year

https://whattomine.com/gpus

That is a really good daily revenue for a single card no matter how expensive this card is,break even about a year makes it fun again for people who have enough money to build a rig with 6 x 4090 and are in for the long run.In my country back in the days of 3090 many people build rigs with them up to 25.000 EUR one because they bought at hyperinflated prices and they could not wait or to be in for the long run and I even saw one time one 6 x 3090 rig going for just 4500 EUR when ETH moved to POS.Smart people who are in for the long run of course bought that rig.

Chelsea are not so powerful this season, they are inconsistent, in the bottom half of the EPL table and just recently fired their manager, so it is all going wrong for Chelsea at the moment. I think it would be quite easy for Real Madrid to eliminate Chelsea, just as it was easy for them to eliminate Liverpool in the RO16. Chelsea have a good and young squad, but quite a lot of them lack the experience that Real Madrid's players have in the CL. I predict City are going to defeat Bayern, and Real Madrid are going to eliminate Chelsea, thus we are then going to have a repeat of last season's CL SF between City and Real Madrid.

Potter got fired, well it was expected, the only question was how much Boehly had the patience. It would seem that Chelsea is still in the Champions League and perhaps dismissal before the Champions League match with Real is not the best time, but with the replacement of the coach, Boehly pulled as much as he could. Real Madrid will benefit the most in this situation.


Exactly it was playing stupid from Boehly to fire the coach at such a delicate time when next week they will be facing Real Madrid in the Champions League.Boehly is behaving like a little kid honestly spending a lot of money and buying players like he is playing "Football Manager" up to over 270 million pounds and the results we all saw them up until now.I know that the results do not justify Potter but I also think that Boehly rushed in this decision,I am sure we will see even more bad results from Chelsea in the remaining part of the season and I don't doubt that they will be eliminated with a tennis result in Champions League.

Yesterday many bettors lost money on PSG and there were a lot of them because during the day we had a lot of unexpected results and people were eager to win money in the night games and almost all gamblers played PSG which together with Napoli made sure that anybody who played the night games lost their tickets.As for Messi,he is a player which you cannot complain about him despite some bad presences in the squad,overall I think he is still an asset to PSG and they are already looking forward next season in the Champions League.

CEXs,are already a pain in the a** for all the people who have been dealing with crypto since early on when they were created as we all know decentralization was the key point that made Bitcoin so popular together with the public ledger that we know as blockchain to come next.

Now if these exchanges stop their operations I am sure we will see something like immediate conversion service like Shapeshift.io if I remember the service correctly.Then to exchange to money,to FIAT we can use direct exchanges like the one anyone can find on bestchange.com website.Bottom line is we will survive and find a way always.
3772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 03, 2023, 08:24:56 AM
I have seen several casinos with promotions where they do "drops" to thousands of people or they give bonuses to several gamblers, but how transparent is this process?

Do you think casinos are really doing these drops to 1000s of people or are they skimming from the top.... ? They might say a drop is for 2500 people, but they might only drop for 500 people and nobody will know. Yes, some of those 500 people will report that they have received the drop and it will look legit.... but is it really?

How can the gamblers verify that the actual amount of people are receiving the drop or the bonus, if there are no list to verify it? Let's discuss this.. I am curious if other people also thought about this...  Tongue

Some casinos are very transparent about it.It shows such transaction in the form of a tip for example in the Stake casino while I am playing casino slots I have the habit to keep the chat open and as they promise they give random rain drops to Platinum VIP-s there and I can see the transactions as it shows there in the form of a tip from a moderator to that person.I have no way to verify further the internals but I think this is enough to judge if a casino is not lying to us and what furthers makes me believe it,is the weekly bonus and monthly bonus which all member from the first level of VIP and on.
3773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 03, 2023, 07:45:52 AM

Tonight's big win is of course an important capital for Real Madrid to face Barcelona in the second leg. I am very sure Los Blancos will be even more motivated, they will of course chase victory to open up hope of winning the Copa Del Rey trophy. But of course Barcelona is also very strong, Xavi's troops have also won 1-0 in the first leg.

In La Liga, Real Madrid's opportunities are tightly closed, the 12-point difference with Barcelona is not an easy matter for Madrid to catch up to. Therefore, I am absolutely sure that Ancelotti will exert his full strength in the 2nd leg of the CDR. Because only CDR has a trophy opportunity for Los Blancos.
The competition at the top flight this season is much more different than in previous seasons. Until now, Madrid must admit that Barcelona is better and more stable. Meanwhile, Barca is leading with 71 points or a difference of 12 points with 11 games remaining, it is clearly not easy for El Real.

Yes, I agree with you, Madrid must shift its focus to the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League because opportunities in La Liga seem to have closed for them. A convincing victory over Valladolid must be used as a foundation for a comeback when going against Barcelona in the second leg, Madrid must win on aggregate to open up great opportunities to win another local level champion.

Their second leg against Barcelona in copa del Rey will be surely very important and they will put all efforts to win this match not only because it's the only local competition left for them but also because Barcelona dominated the last matches against real Madrid and they will surely play for a revenge

I think that most likely will not be the case,Real has only one objective right now for this season and it is the Champions League,they will be playing next week there and I think that despite their opponent looks easy based on their recent form as Chelsea is losing a lot of games,it won't be easy for Real Madrid.They have very slim chances to make a comeback in the second leg of the Copa del Rey and as such I doubt they will be trying hard in this game.The only way they turn things around is if they find a weak and not focused Barcelona but we all know that rarely we see a non focused Barcelona when playing against Real Madrid.
3774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 03, 2023, 06:10:07 AM
For tonight game we have an interesting one.We have Sassuolo vs Torino which are two teams in complete opposite direction if we check their recent results,Sassuolo comes from 4 consecutive wins including the best of them against Roma 4-3 while Torino is suffering big time in their last 4 games which they have conceded 11 from the total of 33 goals during this whole season and this looks to me like a big red flag.That is why I think it is very interesting and rewarding to bet on Sassuolo to win this game at 2.40 odd and do not take that much of attention looking at the standings as they don't tell us the full picture.
3775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 03, 2023, 05:53:49 AM
Man United played seriously but But they were weaker than Newcastle and could not resist them. Man United tried their best to do well but to no avail. Man United's next match is against Brentford.  They must do well on the day to stay in a good position on the points table.  Because Brentford is a much weaker team than them, this is their chance to score well and collect good points. It seems they can.  Because they have that confidence in themselves

I wouldn’t say exactly that Manchester United is weaker than Newcastle cause in my opinion, they’re not. And the manner in which the lads played wasn’t at their best. Manchester United simply played poorly and couldn’t utilize any chance they got which ended up in a loss for them.
 
Man United’s next game with Brentford doesn’t look so tough. But then, I wish Man United would not underestimate the abilities of their opponents and go on to lose that match too. At this point, Manchester United desperately needs a win and hopefully, they would get that win in their next game with Brentford.

I also think that they played really bad,if you see the statistics you will see that they had less chances than Newcastle which means overall Newcastle dominated the game despite this domination not being as open as many think of the word "domination".

I would not say that the next game with Brentford does not look so tough as we just need to remind Manchester United last three games results and in there you will see a 0-0 draw when they played at home against Southampton.This Brentford team surely is much better than Southampton so it won't be that easy although I think Manchester will be able to get a narrow win here.
3776  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Future of GPU mining, what's your plan? on: April 02, 2023, 09:24:08 PM
Golden era for GPU mining was 2015 Ethereum. You would be mining for breakeven electricity cost. In hindsight all you had to was hodl few years. You would net x1000 return on this mining investment.

Too bad. Now that is behind. ETH went from PoW to PoS.

For GPUs currently it is Conflux and that isn't too attractive.

Future of GPU mining is in shambles. I am not too optimistic about it.

All these pessimistic talk about GPU mining right now made me exchange ETHW,not all of them but half of them in favor of LTC which I then converted to ZIL and through ZIL I am getting rewards daily,not much but 2 ZIL a day for doing nothing is not that bad.

I continue mining despite things not looking as good and as promising they were when we were all mining ETH before it moved to PoS,all the GPU manufacturers losing a lot of money I am sure will do something and within the end of 2024 we would be having another great coin to mine,patience is key as they say.

So no one here in the pool talking about the really bad results of Manchester United (which is the last time I bet on those f*ckers) as they screwed all of my tickets tonight,I had them to win,I had them win or draw as I thought that would be the worst it could happen to them and I also had them both teams to score and none of these bets came true.Their recent form has made them not be so comfortable in the top 4 as Tottenham most probably will surpass them tomorrow as I am sure they will win against Everton in tomorrow night game.Things are becoming complicated for them yet no one says a thing about Ten Haag but everybody speaks about Potter,aren't they doing the same results in the last 3 games?
3778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 02, 2023, 08:58:23 PM
Manchetser United and Juventus are estimated to be equally high by the bookmakers to win the title in the Europa League. They both have a tough opponent to each other. AS Roma - Feyenoord is also a quarter final and is also a repeat of last year's conference league final. Manchester United should actually be able to beat Seville given the form crisis that currently applies to Seville. The boomakers put AS Roma on 7.00 to win this tournament. That would be an achievement of Mourinho, winning the conference league last year and the Europa League right behind it this season.

I don't think Roma has the slightest chance to win this tournament no matter Mourinho having a huge amount of experience in such competitions and despite him winning Europa Conference League last year,the competition here is much stronger and Manchester United together with Juventus and I would add also Bayern Leverkussen are the main contenders to win this league.In Europa Conference League it was easy for Mourinho to do so as in the final he found Feyenoord and they were also slightly favored by the place where they played,in Tirana extremely near Italy which was almost the same as playing in Rome and all these conditions helped Mourinho but in Europa League is going to be a totally different thing.

I have seen so many people fantasize about the idea about Napoli winning this year's edition of the UEFA Champion's League lately. This match should be an eye-opener to them.
With AC Milan tearing them apart like this. I am sure their confidence on the field won't be the same again.

Ooh, and they have to play AC Milan over 2 legs. This will be worth watching.

I had completely forgot that they will face each other also on the Champions League but I think that this was just a mistake from Napoli not focusing completely on this game as they are a lot of points ahead of every one in Serie A so I don't take this as an eye opener.Milan has been one of the most inconsistent team that exists for this season in Serie A and even when they qualified in Champions against Tottenham it was more luck than merit as they defended in the return leg against Tottenham.

I think this lost game of Napoli is because everybody betting on them and they screwing up everyone,it will happen sometime that a great team will have a bad day.I hope this game raises their odd to qualify in Champions as I am going to bet a lot of money on them to qualify further,I am sure they can beat Milan.

Nevertheless, some strong words have been spoken in the Red Bull racing team this week. Only Verstappen doesn't seem to be bothered by anything. Perez would have said that Red Bull is quite capable of putting 2 good cars on the racetrack, referring to the fact that they only give Verstappen a good car. Helmut Marko, for his part, has said that Perez has simply not been riding well enough and that is the cause of Perze's poor riding so far. But why is Perez so difficult? He has already won a race this season and he is an asset to Verstappen who owes him a lot. Maybe he just doesn't want to be a 2nd driver anymore, would that be the cause in this discussion?

They had already some big problems in the last race of last season where Max intentionally did not let Perez come 2nd driver and since then their report is broken between them.Perez had already claimed that he will not be a 2nd driver anymore since then and that was the reason and condition that he put to the team before he signed in to renew his contract with Redbull.

In today race there were a lot of outside factors who made the race difficult for Perez and of course Redbull has their part in the fault because they choose the wrong strategy for him while they were fully focused to win the race with Verstappen and we know that Verstappen does not need that much of attention,he would have won the race anyway,but the team looks not that concerned with Perez at all and that is why such words.
