-snip

Last season I believe one round I scored 6 points, which was a round only 3 or 4 people got that much, and I of course also met that same fellow lol

there is that H2H momentum, two rounds ago I scored 5, and most people were 4 or less, but I had to play Igebotz that only scored 6 and got free-bet along with a win
but that is what makes it interesting

agree that there is a lot of luck here, but would not say that it is only luck, one has to know what to put, no luck will pull you up if you put Nepal to pass cricket group, as some had in spreadsheet

just noticed that I am playing slackovic this round, good luck

Momentum I think is truly important. I noticed a couple of those who submitted late answers were on losing streaks, not so good for confidence and I'm sure 100% contributed to them forgetting!!

Luck of course involves playing to the best of knowledge. Very surprised some participants put very out answers for some questions, like I don't even know where they got their picks from lol

I find it funny sometimes some people using Bitcoin say all this but then they are happy to let Google and their phones and Facebook track them.

What you said is absolutely true, when people go to the forum, they always talk about the decentralization of bitcoin and constantly criticize fiat and other centralized government systems. But they are using fiat, bank accounts or social media every day...Honestly, people interested in bitcoin are only interested in bitcoin's profitability and not any of its other features. I bet if bitcoin were stable and not profitable, there wouldn't be too many people needing it, myself included. What I care most about is profit.

So much fake news and fake stories and nonsense online, I kinda get that. But here in this forum, I'm more used to seeing it only in altcoin posts which is the major reason why I completely stopped reading there, and sad to see it come more and more on this part of bitcointalk.

Sometimes I even believe people who say decentralized a lot not only don't really care, but don't even understand crap.

So annoying!

I agree with above. Front shirt sponsor is nice, and that has the biggest visibility BUT not neccessary. As it was with Arsenal, SB can jus seek for a main sponsorship (or major partner) which is great as well and even more visible during matches on billboards.

I think any club they get will be a great one.

I saw someone ask fr Monaco, that would be reaaly cool too!

That is why people adopt it. I know Bitcoin is like this because it is the most decentralized coin, but you could argue other coins are also similarly decentralized but without the same advantages I mentioned.
If people are not caring about decentralization then they are not aware of how great that is. The fact that decentralization allowed us to be profiting without any government issues, is the reason why I am invested in bitcoin.

Governments only care about keeping the power, and getting richer meanwhile, that's all they care about and that's why it's going to be a very much difficult job to handle. I am guessing that it's good that bitcoin is decentralized because unlike fiat, nobody makes it any worse and that is an important thing. Fiat world is not like that, it gets worse and worse all the time and we can't really make any big changes on it like that, we need to be quite careful about what we do.

It doesn't matter how great a tech is or how great the cryptography algorithms work for Bitcoin.

When we used email, or browse pages, we don't care how great HTML or CSS is compared to Java or something else.

We even don't care if the internet is becoming more centralized than 20 years ago.

If people really cared about government intrusion, everyone is using TOR and VPN and dynamic device. But we don't really care unless we want to use something private right?

I find it funny sometimes some people using Bitcoin say all this but then they are happy to let Google and their phones and Facebook track them.
1246  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 10 tips to manage one's emotions while trading crypto. on: July 18, 2023, 10:49:33 AM
These aren't really tips that people don't already know, the problem is not awareness about these aspects of trading. We all know we're prone to emotion in trading, same as gambling.

Here's a real tip that helped me in real life with forex and gambling (and it's exactly the same tip for trading).

Tell someone you trust totally. A close friend, maybe even a spouse. Or a brother/sister. Tell them exactly everything, I found this helped with another friend. He watched me and I watched him. But you must be open with each other 100%

When you are losing, your emotions can't be controlled. But your friend isn't affected, and he can tell you to stop, or to take a break. And you do the same for him.

You see all these tips are pointless because when you're caught up in emotion, you don't think rationally anymore. So you need help from someone objective. If you tell them "stop me when I lose my deposit". He will stop you because it's not his money and he's not losing.

Arsenal?! After all the BelieveTheHype you're dumping for another girlfriend? Tsssh, maybe Declan Rice ate into their budget lol

Really strange sports to bet, but i think you can look on Brasileirao (brazilian football) its a very good league with high level in some matches.

It was due to the question on BSFL, are you in BSFL btw ? If you are not then you should check it out if you are a sports enthusiast  Smiley

Yes, please join us: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5438071.msg62567020#msg62567020

It is like just Sportsbet sponsored Sports Leagues, all the weird sports and regular ones in there. We had cycling, we're going to have MMA and boxing, and this week it's golf and volleyball and water polo Wink

Great article Trofo as usual. Does cryptofrka help write this or is he usually too drink?

Saintloup, I only realized, is gone from cup, from reading this (somehow I missed!).

All good bro no need to be sorry, a win for you is a lesson for myself as always I just gotta do better going forward.

Congrats hope you go far. Grin Grin Grin

Thank you bro! Whoever wins deserves it. I believe I was 3rd place in cup last season but that was with less people so it is much harder now for sure. But back to the league of course for a time being. GL!

I don't know... Look at me. In the last season I was invincible and in the season I have only one win if I remember correctly. I agree that some of you sport fanatics maybe get a little cocky when answering football questions but I don't follow sport that much (at least I didn't before this competititon), but somehow I always managed to win in the last season. Maybe it's just a matter of the "big boys" division this time so I'm up against the best Smiley Anyhow, I hope I don't get relegated in the first season in division 1 Smiley

I guess that mean my analogy is right because for most football question, I don't even open any sportbook to decide more often than not, the only time I usually do is when we are asked to guess the line up or the players to score a goal or make any an assist, but I can't complain because it put other opponents on their toes as well, and we can't rely on just a general analogy, we'll get more contrast responses for with these questions.

I'm really just looking to pick up points against opponents that are the potential favorites for the 1st position, and that's why it really is a must win affair for me versus jeremy, I'd say.

Trust me guys, this is more about luck. Same experience as slackovic, last season I just couldn't get a single win, and so far this season I am a little bit comfortable. My understanding of sports did not change at all, just the luck. For example in one round I managed only to score 2 points and yet so did my opponent and I managed a draw.

Last season I believe one round I scored 6 points, which was a round only 3 or 4 people got that much, and I of course also met that same fellow lol

It seems we are all the same, football we don't even look at odds, we already know who to pick in our hearts, but still good to look up news about injuries or who's playing depending on teams. Like some teams you know almost all 11 plays all the time, but Chelsea and City have 3 squads, that's something I still have to look up and guess.

Bitcoin is decentralized for sure but I don't think that's why people adopt it and I guess here we're talking about payment method right?

Investment is a different thing and but people also don't invest in it because of decentralization (they don't care).

Bitcoin is the most widely accepted. It will never go down. It cannot be doublespent without problems. It cannnot be taken down by governments. And it's the easiest to use.

That is why people adopt it. I know Bitcoin is like this because it is the most decentralized coin, but you could argue other coins are also similarly decentralized but without the same advantages I mentioned.
1250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: July 17, 2023, 07:41:16 AM
~snip
La Liga is my favourite league, but seems that my own performance is getting worse each season.

it is my favorite league as well, but had to let others win it last season
on the bright side, Valencia succeeded in relegation fight, and it was really intense at one point, hopefully this season will be very different on that matter

although, looking at transfer rumors' and activity so far, seems that Valencia is heading to one more hard season

I guess in the end favorite has nothing to do with expertise lol I mean, my luck in pools and now in BSFL is going up and down, and if anyone looks, none of the "rankings" will tell a true picture about how much I like or follow a particular league.

I'll always remember casper updating us about Valencia, for now, I will wait on odds for them and Sevilla to see if I place early bets or put them on early blacklist Wink

Sorry about the penalty win Jinetics111 but that was literally a coinflip.

Didn't do so well to get a draw but as long as we progress it's all that matters.

@notblox1 yes please submit a UFC question! jeremypwr already sent one, so maybe we get 2 Wink

The volleyball and Golf are a bit hard to find, but good luck everybody searching, I'll let everyone flex hehe
1252  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Trading Tools (120% APY) on: July 17, 2023, 05:30:02 AM
OP may be one of those 5% who are not greedy and has a plan to slowly achieve their goals, but tools themselves do not generate profit, I guess that is clear to everyone.

I wish that was. Newbies still get duped into paying for "tools" and signals and easy money making strategies. I know for forex people used to do this, and the benefit was from commissions. If you get 1000 people to trade even 1 pip you get a lot of money for that, recurring mostly since people who lose in trading often pump in more.

I don't know if it works the same for BTC trading but I'm not surprised if that is the way. That's what I think of when I see posts from OP anyway.
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My story about bitcoin and my old friend. on: July 16, 2023, 10:56:56 AM
Well, if you think this story is bullshit and not true, then you are being too negative. I still believe the OP's story, and I don't think it's bragging but a confiding between two friends. Because I always share these with my brother and a few of my closest friends as well. We share everything about family, life, and money, and if given the opportunity, we will work together.

For me, people who are always talking about morality or gossiping on social media about work or wealth, that are called bragging. And when sharing with relatives and friends, it is only for confiding.

I don't think, I'm like 100% sure I'm willing to bet BTC on it.

It's not bragging, if it's not even true.

I'm very positive about true Bitcoin stories and true sharing and experiences. I'm very negative about spreading false information and spam on this forum because actual newbies get misled by the fake stories that you see more and more coming up.

I don't confide except in my very best friend and that's not even everything about my personal life.

In any way, as I said, OP's not coming anytime to prove the story anyway. Believe what you want, but this forum has better quality Bitcoin content than these fake stories!
1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: July 16, 2023, 09:49:11 AM
I paid for both pools already, nice to use campaign payments from Livecasino and consolidate them together Smiley

I noticed min BTC payment for withdrawal from both Sportsbet and Livecasino is 2 mbtc, so I couldn't pay from there as usually do all the time, but no problem of course. Seems like BTC has become quite expensive and that's good for us.

Next season to pay attention, I drew with leea in BSFL so surely I can also tie with him in Serie A lol

Nobody wants Juventus next season? New look and no more in Super League!!

Guess Djokovic will not get Over 3.5 losses unless he loses the final. That was sort of my safety pick in case he loses, but my opponent also has it since he went with him losing, so I'm going to be sweating in this final.

Cool pick from LFC_Bitcoin about O Jaboer... and well deserved progress.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: July 15, 2023, 05:47:06 AM
I don't know about you guys but this is my favorite pool, followed by Champions League. That doesn't mean I do well in it, it's just my favorite league, with my favorite team and my favorite sports.

I will send PM with payment details. Always a good idea to pay as early as possible because BTC always higher end of season Wink

Barca just got slapped with UEFA fine. I have a feeling it's more bad news coming Sad

Man I hate web sites with more adds than content, but OK. Bookmarked the site so I'm prepared for the CS:GO questions...

I see that a lot of you went with the option that Mexico will win the final by 1 goal. I thought about it but it looked to me like there is a better chance for them to cover 1,5 handicap than to win by exactly 1 goal. I just checked and I see that they won 3-0 against Jamaica so I guess it's a "wins confidently" :-)

Adblocker man, those usually work well against video sites with ads like youtube. So far I found anyway.

I'm also surprised by majority Mexico small handicap. I feel like they're way stronger than Jamaica, like way way stronger. I actually even believed they would hit 4 or 5 goals lol

How is everyone doing in BSFL Cup this week?
I am not doing very good at all with only one correct answer, but lucky for me that Kanapka is even worse than me until now Smiley
Unlike me, LFC_Bitcoin and vd309 are doing very good so far.

I'm doing ok 2 points... who would expect 6 goals or more for Question 5, who else but my opponent lol

At least we won't draw this round though Smiley
1258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: July 14, 2023, 10:09:19 AM
He did actually act like a spoiled brat there but I think there's a root over all those things that's why he acted like that. It just all piled up and so he released it in the octagon which is a big mistake. He really looked like a villain while saying all those things to Dricus Du Plessis. Some people are looking up to Israel Adesanya and think of him as their hero, this act will probably decrease the number of fans that follows him.

Now, it is a must-win fight for The Stylebender. He must prove all the words that came out of his mouth on that day. Also, because of the less damage that Drucus received during the fight against Robert Whittaker, they might schedule it as early as they can so fasten your seatbelts because we will see the champion fight again and try to defend his title.
I am excited but I am kind of in doubt with the odds that will be given by our favorite sports bookies. I wish 1.50 - 1.70 for Adesanya.


Is it me or is this sport full of spoiled brats and whining losers lol. Or maybe I'm mixing up MMA with UFC but they're the same thing right??

I tried watching a few videos too and got a bit annoyed all of it is just so much trash talk that reminds me of WWE (except obviously, WWE fights are all staged).

Adesanya is a sure thing for next few more years I believe, as a guy who only watches main news Tongue
1259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentina Launches it's First Bitcoin Futures Contract, Brazil To Follow.. on: July 14, 2023, 08:54:39 AM
Argentinian citizens are already long long ago moving into Bitcoin on their own, nobody needed to wait for futures, so I doubt this is really strong news for the country. Plus, the people I hear don't even trust their government so they would not like to participate in this futures thing. Or maybe its just for rich guys who don't know the difference with real Bitcoin and fake Bitcoin.

Right darxiaomi?

I saw that the qualifier with Israeli team was halted due to ongoing violence from both sides in Israel Palestine war. I always thought that was neverending but thanks to football news I realized it was actually going up in rate and seriousness for a few weeks now.

Back home the news isn't covered at all because of sensitivities.

I know Ukraine Russia problem made Russia the outcast, I wonder why Israel doesn't have same sanctions? Curious, not interested in politics, just trying to get a better picture.
