Another massive surprise I think it was Tottenham losing 3-0 which sums it up pretty well for a Premier League week meaning that not a single result out of these three games came as expected.I know that maybe the Luton game may be a correct result as a draw but I think most likely Luton should have won this game,I don't know why but I feel that to be the correct result.

The Premier League is coming near an end and is more open than ever and I think the result of such teams who barely play for anything,will be repeated as surprise results from the big teams when they will play their remaining games,it can be any team winning this year,be it Liverpool the most likely,then City and then Arsenal for me.

Well done all!

I'm really sorry that I have seen your post late. I have just seen this and I wasn't expecting it all.  Smiley  You can be sure that I'm going to do all the things you have explained there. But I will be able to do it on Tuesday if there isn't any problem to do so.

I'm going on really good in Pot B recently and I hope I can keep up this form. The quarter final matchups are really interesting so let's see what can be done. Real Madrid - Manchester City looks really tricky.  Grin

I have seen Real against Leipzig and with that ugly football I bet my house they will be eliminated very very easily from the Champions League,they are not playing against Leipzig here,they are playing against the reigning Champions of the Champions League and they were eliminated last year exactly by City with a 4-0 result in Manchester if I remember correctly so there is nothing tricky in my opinion for this game.I hate Real so much from that game against Leipzig as they let me down both in Pot A and Pot B and made me lose positions everywhere,they deserve the worse in this upcoming leg and I am sure City will deliver it to them with their class,I think Real will look like some National League in England rather than a Champions team against City.

I was one of such persons that was mining ETC+ZIL but I pointed my hash rate in a much better direction also for the cards,as the cards run much cooler mining Raptoreum through Wildrig and I make 200-300 Raptoreum per day with just 2 big cards from the Rtx 3000 series,I can buy more cards now as I have the money but is pointless as no matter if I add more cards still I am happy with the 200 Raptoreum per day that I make which in the long term I have bet it will be in a big increase in price rather than spending a huge amount in buying a very expensive miner.

I know a couple of colleagues who are more than willing to buy such expensive miner and there are people like that,that is why the expensive miners are produced in the first place.

More progress on the Redbull issue.
Horner has just been reported to the ethics commission from the girl.
I think the best possible scenario for him at the moment is a suspension.
At the moment he appears to be firmly in his position while the girl appears to be suspended from Redbull.

Of course the girl cannot really expect that she to be given the right against the top principal of the Redbull team.I also think that Horner should stay in Redbull and this should be sorted outside of F1 circus.I know the soap opera is always wanted especially in a sport like this that rarely happen such things people would love to see such drama.

The suspension of the girl from Redbull I am assuming that is a good move as Redbull as a team needs to be focused,most people would not agree with this but I think it is the right move so the girl moves out of the equation and the season continues normally.

I was thinking before the match that Brentford would win against Burnley comfortably. However just at the beginning of the match Reguilon's causing a penalty and getting a red card changed the story of the match completely.

By the way I think the red card given to Reguilon is quite heavy.

The VAR is there to check these things thoroughly but the fact that no one gave a shit about the case and considering it a red card change as you said the story completely.I also thought that Brentford would have won by a big margin,something like 0-3 against an already relegated team in my opinion which is showing nothing in the Premier League at all.

The referees in England are well known for idiotic verdicts all over the world,there was even some case when some referee from there don't remember the name judging the final of Champions League making really clamorous mistakes,this needs to be fixed as soon as possible otherwise betting on such events is worthless.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: March 16, 2024, 05:02:14 PM
In the first match, I expect the score to end 2 - 1 for Wolverhampton obviously.

Legal time, 90', Wolverhampton 2 - 1 Coventry, cool!
Final whistle, Wolverhampton 2 - 3 Coventry, that was a joke Undecided
Wolverhampton could not end the match with a victory and Coventry knocked them out after scoring 2 goals after 7 and 10 minutes of the beginning of injury time.
FIFA should stop this ridiculous unbelievable and long injury time and start freezing the timer just like NBA and handball. Football players are annoying and ruin the game with their 30 seconds or more of swimming in the grass after being touched...

While in theory I agree with you I think that the only one to blame is Wolverhampton themselves,if they can't manage an advantage in the additional time no matter how long that additional time may be they need to vastly improve in this matter.I also have noticed that they have conceded quite so many goals in the late second half of the game also in the Premier League so it is a weakness this team has,they think the game have already ended before the final whistle is heard.

I think at first FIFA/UEFA should start to take into consideration these so called human errors from referees who do not give a deep shit even when the VAR clearly points that they have made a wrong decision,then to go and fix the long additional time.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Scratch Offs on: March 16, 2024, 04:43:46 PM
So while we are on the discussion and topic of gambling, I wonder if there has every been a scratch off ticket thread?

I was at the gas station today and I said screw it lets get two $1 scratch of tix because why not.

The first one was a flop, but the second one was a winner! I won one lol Just $1. Whoopty doo lol

So I used that winner ticket to go and buy another ticket, and guess what!? The same thing happened again and I won one lol.

I am going to go back tomorrow and get another one and see what happens and keep you guys posted!


Here is a fun question: What is the most you have ever won off of a scratch off ticket? What brand ticket was it?

That is an addictive form of lottery and back in time many years ago in my country where I live now it was popular.I remember it only costed like 0.50 dollars to scratch one ticket with the possibility to win up to 100.000 dollars and boy were people like crazy playing it because of the low cost,instant knowing if you were a winner or not.

I think this would be a great addition if some casinos opt to revive such type of game and to use as low as 0.10 dollars bet I am sure this would be a massive success to the casino first implementing such game.As for winning I only won once 27 dollars from scratching many tickets but lost much more than that  Grin.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 16, 2024, 01:20:19 PM
At first when I read the title I thought a strange law indeed but after thinking about it for some time I agree with such law in the country.I am assuming people go deep down in addiction there and the government don't want widespread of the gamblers throughout their territory so they keep it simple,you can play gambling as long as you don't interfere with other people by impacting them to join gambling.In such country I assume gambling is geared only toward those who really want to play and this country does not need promotion,especially online promotion of this type.For us in Europe this may seem strange yet I am sure there are countries suffering from gambling and the government wants to restrict it,but not completely as they want to have taxes because of such businesses also.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling between the past and nowadays on: March 16, 2024, 10:04:42 AM
We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
-Ease of playing and more casinos.
-Inventing new tools and methods of playing.
-Online gambling and the emergence of easy-to-use applications that support all games.
-The method of advertising has changed, becoming more effective and attracting more players.
-The presence of liquidity due to the increase in the amounts that players bet.
-Provides more profit opportunities..

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

I think that the first and main factor is the tremendous development of technology over the past 20-30 years and this is only intensifying. After all, before, in order to play a game of chance, place a bet or visit a casino, you had to travel or go somewhere, but now you can take part in any game, place a bet on any sport, or study any statistics in detail without leaving your home. To answer your question, in my opinion, it is technological progress that has greatly moved gambling forward

It absolutely is technology that has made gambling evolve this big.Gambling industry is one of the biggest so it is normal that this industry has taken profit more than any other industry because of technology,also most of the time cryptocurrencies are spent in gambling as I know from this forum a lot of people gamble with cryptocurrencies here.Technology has made it very easy for anyone wanting to give a try and to gamble online without anyone knowing that they are gambling,another major boost and benefit that you simply could not have with the gambling of the past as you needed to go somewhere and people could see you were a gambler,these are the marvels of technology which we all should be grateful for.
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RTX 5090 and others on: March 15, 2024, 04:14:09 PM
I think the problem will be the price, USD2000 MSRP will mean 2500+ from resellers in first 6 months.
If this video card can be used to mine coins with a profit of $30 per day, for example, then the price of such a video card can be much more than $3,000.
MSRP in stores or even less, this is when there is no profit in GPU mining Smiley
There is no announcement date or exact specifications yet, but this will be the most powerful video card on the market.

Hopefully Nvidia will fix the toasty things that happened massively with the 4090 in the beginning,so hopefully this does not happen again with over 2000 dollars video card.I find it very difficult for this card to make more than 5-6 dollars to 8-9 at best based on the profit of the 4090 right now,I doubt this will bring more than double of the performance of the Rtx 4090.I am not that much excited for such cards as I never will buy one of those but I am happy that older series will go down dramatically in price or at least they have to go down dramatically in price,no matter that this don't always happen.
511  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 15, 2024, 02:23:43 PM
It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?
I'm not sure people will need gambling on a normal basis. because more gamblers gamble because of their desires rather than needs. Most of them carry out gambling activities regularly, it could be every weekend or every time they get a monthly salary with the allocation that has been provided.
maybe the case will be different with addicted gamblers. it can make him gamble every day and that will be very difficult. because he doesn't control how much money he will spend every day from his gambling losses.

It's more of their emotions controlling them (us) to gamble for more. So it's really hard to stop or control it. Because there will be times that you will win. So you want to go back again and have that same feeling again and of course winning some money.

And just like what the title of this thread, it might be good not to chase your losses, but who can control others though? All we can do is to give them advise but then again, there are gamblers who are going to still fall for it no matter how many times we say them to stop.

That is an individual choice in the end but men are easily impacted from the environment and people they stay.For example if the shepherd of sheep is a quiet person is because he is looking after something that is quiet like the sheeps.The one who look after camels in the desert for example can be a very harsh person as camels are not that quiet.

So the more the person is hearing these advices to stop the more he will be prone to try and stop gambling.

So I've been thinking...  With Hamilton going to Ferrari and taking Sainz spot, who you guys think will take Hamilton's drive at Mercedes..?  Sainz?  There are also words going around that Toto Wolff wants Fernando Alonso paired up with Russell as it's a name that's known in F1 that's worthy to replace Hamilton.  If so then I guess Sainz goes to Aston Martin..?  Better yet, Sainz goes back to Red Bull and Perez goes back to Aston Martin which originally was Force India.  I wouldn't mind if it came out like that tbh.  All solid drivers getting good seats.

In other news it looks like Ferrari are looking to tempt a couple of Red Bull's enginners who are specializing in aerodynamics away and work for them. 

Who would not want to tempt winners?I have seen it first hand in our daily life,when you achieve something in your career you see Linkedin offers coming to you right away,the same in every business,once you affirm yourself as a winner most likely other good teams will come looking after you with better job offers.I would also love to see the same moves of such drivers as this would mean better competition in the years to come.

Hi,

As everyone knows the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money , knowing that the risks do not change whether you bet a large or small amount, and sometimes the amount you bet with is your capital, and this drains you of your time and money, and perhaps your work and daily tasks.

Do you think that the benefits in gambling Worth the invest of your money and your time with knowing that your chances are Just 50/50?


It is worth trying in my opinion but of course only with capital that you can afford to lose.I think it is worth with such money as if you lose you won't harm yourself that much while if you happen to win big then it is a great feeling.Personally I felt this feeling early January of this year when with 0.10 bet I won 1339 dollars in Return of the Green Knight slot,so yes for me as long as you don't use money you can't afford to lose is worth the time and effort.
514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is really unexpected on: March 15, 2024, 10:07:50 AM
Congrats on knowing where to quit as most other gamblers would have continue to play because of the good feeling of winning while you showed a great will and rare are the gamblers who do so.

What makes you an even better gambler is that you spent those money wisely by buying something special for you like that guitar.I don't remember when was my last time that I used my gambling wins for buying a product I love,have been losing a lot lately  Grin.
515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is best for a player to draw the line? on: March 15, 2024, 09:40:12 AM
If a gambler is successful he knows how to read the pattern of slot machines I am taking as an example here.The successful gambler should be able to know when to draw the line in both cases while I think the emphasize should be more on when someone is losing as that is dangerous if you don't know where to call it a day while for winning I think it can be left to the gambler choice if he will continue to play or withdraw the winnings,in case of continuing it should be done until he will lose all profit and stop right there.
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: March 15, 2024, 09:07:30 AM
Yes, in various ways, like from any platforms where Ai enhances the user experience through personalized recommendations, enhancing security by preventing and detecting fraud activities, and even enhancing the gambling platform's marketing strategies by specific target demographics. Let's also not forget about the AR/VR technologies like from Apple and Meta, making gambling more immersive, and a lot more! It's exciting to see how technology will continue to advance and impact our experiences not just in gambling.

The ChatGPT 3.5 which is free any time I ask for a football event it tells me it has not direct access to internet searching but when I ask it more specifically for website regarding predictions,news and analysis and it told me at first some I knew,I asked then tell me more and it told me again most sites I knew,then again told AI tell me even more and it showed another list that I knew little from those sites,so yes AI is certainly impacting gambling if we know what to ask AI.
517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: March 14, 2024, 09:55:30 PM
They managed to draw and make the game go into additional time as the result is now 2-2,their forward Schik managed to score in the 94th minute with 2 minutes let to spare.I think now that Leverkussen has got their faith back,I am sure they will batter Qarabag in the additional time as Qarabag is tired and is played with 10 men compared to 11 of Leverkussen,this means that the biggest surprise of all didn't happen tonight yet we witness a 1.18 odd not win their game and I can only imagine how many tickets are burned down because of result tonight including 7 of mine  Grin.

Anyway Leverkussen still remains so far unbeaten in all the competitions during this season and this still remains one big achievement if they manage to win the additional time.

Wow 3-2,they won in normal time,still I lost most of those tickets because of Fiorentina.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: March 14, 2024, 09:29:07 PM
What the f*ck is Bayer Leverkussen doing,0-2 and Qarabag managed to score the second goal even with a man sent off so they are playing with 10 players.I am going to watch these last 20 minutes of the game and see if they can at least draw as I highly doubt with the performance that they showed so far are going to win this in the regular time,what an ugly display from them so far but at least they have time,20 minutes is more than enough to stop a team from a league much weaker than the Bundesliga.I still can't believe this and this is why is better to stay away from sport betting,games don't go like predicted some times,while this some times is becoming very very often in the European competitions this time,Fiorentina not beating a team from Israel is another bad result that many have not predicted.
519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is worth more than Silver on: March 14, 2024, 09:10:31 PM
It is definitely an achievement with cryptocurrency at the forefront. It is incredible how much technology can do and you can see that finance is changing and we here, members of Bitcointalk, are elated with this.

Can we treat this like subscriber battle? Up next is Gold? Lol.

I am pretty sure with the passing of time Gold will be surpassed too.The reason is simple while Gold you need a physical location to get it and have it although many futures/trading companies offer you the chance to buy/sell some of it and it is difficult to collect lots of Gold without being noticed while with Bitcoin you can collect a huge amount and no one to know thanks to the underlying technology that it has.

We truly are living in crazy times and I am happy to be living now than in 1800 for example  Grin where everything is highly achievable thanks to the technology which has evolved dramatically in these last 24-25 years,I still remember dial up modems in the 2000-s.

Based on my personal experience having obtained a degree and not following my passion for IT has not made me get the job I dreamed for so I took my attention to getting many international IT certifications like CCNA and others in order to boost my credentials,I own more than 10 of them now and I have quite some years of experience now so I fully agree with what this girl want to do and if she was my daughter I would not at all force her to go into the university as I know what it means to go there and not get what you want or not to feel fulfilled,following your passion like I did is something I strongly recommend to anyone including to this girl.
