maybe they can put the wagering requirement to 10~50 USD and it will make many people join it again
because 5mbtc i think it's too high for everyone to be able to join it.

They can tweak it on the go and settle on amount to incentivize most of the "wanted" customers. Could be that some casuals would even wager more just to gain entrance to MM promo. If they go this route I believe they would set the limit quite low. Maybe 10$ as the 4-3 free promo.

But we are dreaming here, I don't expect we will see MM back. It had too big of a reward fund every week to be feasible in the long run and if they lower the prizes, it is not the same is it Smiley

Agree. I would never wager 500 mbtc on live casino but the promotion was so good I ended up doing almost 1 BTC wager over the whole 120 days (or whatever it was something like this). So definitely a price tag can entice people for the prize.

You are right of course MM prize was too big to continue but I think if entry price attracts 100 people, then 1 mbtc wager covers the prize Smiley

Believe me,,, all the teams in Serie A from #1 to #6 will fight for this to the last.
That is the thing about the big clubs, when they go down, when they are not as good as they used to be, everyone attacks them together and you have to fight everyone. When ATM won for example last year, teams did not have a hatred towards it, I am sure that anyone who is a fan of any team outside of Real and Barcelona, cheered for them to win, or at least did not mind it.

But, when Barcelona or Real wins it, they hate them for it because they already got so much. Same goes PSG, and nowadays City for the past years, and Bayern and so forth. When Lille won last year, everyone was shocked and if you asked anyone outside of Paris, they would be happy about it too.

All neutrals want the non-favorites to win, that is almost universal with sports as we identify with the one expected to lose, but we were talking about something else entirely I guess, which is about outsider teams fighting for #1, whether or not they have given up or whether or not they are not thinking about it.

And I cannot see any team in any big sport who thinks "let us go for #2 or #4". Everybody wants it. And if you try hard enough and are lucky to see big teams lose points, you can win the day. Just look at Lille and Leicester.

I meant in numbers Cheesy. Yup, he won every possible cup that mattered, and even few that didn't matter. What I meant was that, Chelsea wasn't this big before him, I mean they weren't like some 5th league type of team, they were premier league club based in London and that is a big deal, when you are that good then you are good.

But they never really won much, a few things here and there but nothing big. After he took over they won some cups in numbers, all cups in name, and some in number, they really ended up needing a new trophy building basically Cheesy. All in all he did his best for the club and never doubted his intentions for the club, it wasn't some sportswashing thing with him, he was serious about it and not just laundering money like what we are seeing from Sauidis and Newcastle.

Yes,,, some probably did not matter but I guess if you are a rich guy with a toy that not many people have, you want to get every single cup. There is a nice long list of trophy icons on the club and if you have the one that no other club has then it is bragging privilege Wink Spurs I think if you tell them they can even win EFL Cup they would say it is amazing.

But you are right, he did take it more seriously than others, even if approach was "wrong" (firing managers even after winning). It was no surprise fans sung his name and some fans of other clubs hate their owners,,, like that fried chicken club I forgot which one.

Leicester also love their owners.

I wonder if any club loves their sponsors Wink

Women have been stereotype to fit in certain roles that reflect their womanly traits so to speak. Women are generally  expected to be more friendly, emotional and sensitive so they are offered jobs like receptionist, Human Resources, public relations in the office. These stereotypes hold women back in the workplace.
“ Women are also more reluctant to share their ideas in group discussions on these subjects. And even when they have talent—and are actually told they are high-achievers in these subjects—women are more likely than men to shrug off the praise and lowball their own abilities.”

https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/how-gender-stereotypes-less-than-br-greater-than-kill-a-woman-s-less-than-br-greater-than-self-confidence

Totally agree,,, which is what I was pointing out at my post yesterday but I would say I do want to see more women in tech. And I know of course that part of the problem is women themselves.

And I know this is a controversial thing to say but since I already showed which side I support,,, and criticized the hiring side of it who does not give chances to women in technical roles, then I hope I can say this,,,

girls also need to want to take up education in fields they are not usually leaning towards. Construction, engineering, computer programming, etc. So mothers and fathers and teachers have a role to encourage them for this.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: March 10, 2022, 08:52:58 AM
I made a multibet tonight one of the rare times where all of my selections are above 2x, so the payout turns out quite big 5 legs = 54x. And I mixed in quite a lot so Europa action is turning also Wink Ever since my team (Spurs) got KO out of Conference League I've still been following Europa more.

For me,,, Barcelona no use to bet, but Sevilla top 3 teams in Spanish leagues, for sure they must be very strong favorites and yet only get 2x odds? I feel that's the best odds for me in tonight's games.

Ladies and gentlemen,,, we celebrate today the ✨500th Soccer Blackjack✨ match, with a Europa League game. It is amazing that Sportsbet has run this for so long and collected so many followers over the time. It is also 3 days away from 1 Year Anniversary!

Total stats is on front page but to summarize we have had 22 Blackjacks and 196 busts for total profit of +244!

This has to be one of my favorite Sportsbet specials and probably the one I have spent the most money on but also won the most  Cheesy May we see 1000 matches Smiley

There is a possibility Binance may no longer stick to their initial decision not to block Russian crypto wallets. The stands they take are good, because this is not what crypto was made for.

Personally,,, I care less about what people and companies say and "show" and more about what their policies truly show real action and real impact.

I support the efforts and I totally agree that the war should never have happened in the first place but I am 100% sure that Binance banning Russians would hurt 99% innocent people (in my mind it is even 100% innocent people).

McDonalds closing 850 stores in Russia so what. Any brand who has bad practices and evades tax does not fix it by "not supporting" Russia.
708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Leaked statement about digital asset from Secretary Janet L. Yellen on: March 09, 2022, 03:35:48 PM
I guess it seems like a good thing but to me,,, all of these news have little actual effect on the markets because people are doing what they want anyway and state adoption or legalization is actually just allowing, not deterring. Which possibly also explains why the "pump" is so small.

The worst thing now is if the statement is confirmed then we only get confirmation. If it is denied,,, we go back below 40k. Better to hope that what is happening now is just another market test of 40k resistance so let us hope March brings us above it and stays there.

Fuck. This shit has got a 10 ETH bid! Shocked

At least,,, this shit is a bit better than some other shit I have seen going for way more than 10 ETH.

You know back in the day I used to have Steemit. And I would get so mad to see girls posting selfies barely with any clothing and get $1000s of dollars of Steem dollars. Not even a title sometimes.

Now I see NFT is the same. Not that I think this OP nft is even worth 10 cents but at least it is,,, something.

Just kidding. Of course OP bid on his own stupid icon "art".
713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Ladies League Organizes Her First Online Blockchain Event on: March 09, 2022, 12:23:05 PM
Link does not work for me OP. Site takes too long to respond.

Crypto doesn’t discriminate gender and I’m happy these women are coming out with a bright initiative to encourage other women.

Of course, crypto does not discriminate between genders. It is a neutral thing. Whether you are a woman, man, tall, short, fat or skinny, you can enter the crypto world. What seems to me is that there are few women in this forum and there is no gender discrimination here either. The only thing is that it is practically impossible to know for sure if the person behind a nickname is male or female (or gender fluid etc).

I support women day and women empowerment and et cetera but personally,,, I think all the time I see crypto women and crypto this and that with girls,,, very few of them are about real empowerment and support.

Hiring girls and women only because you put them in reception or make them marketing people or PR or communications does not make you supportive of women. Because those areas are anyway dominated traditionally by women.

For example,,, I met several young girl coders and programmers who only take freelance jobs because they do not get hired full time. In my own company we have hire and fire policy and 99% are lazy guy coders who actually boasted on job interview to get the job. When we hire new girl, almost for sure she goes to admin or HR or reception "support" staff.

Tech companies are the worst at women thing IMO. Not talking about my company as the culprit of course,,, but in general.

Hope that events like these can remind the male egos in crypto to think about this Wink

I honestly do not know if I miss Live Casino Hero as that was SO tough to do every day but I DO miss Multimaster as a former winner Wink
I don't miss casino hero, it was very tedious promo for somebody like me who does not play casino games. I would love a promo like that but with provision that stakes on sportsbook count as well. I don't mind even if they cap them at relativity high odds but I guess something like 1.5 would already be much more difficult than actually playing slots.

Multimaster was the best promo ever without serious contender, really hope we get it back but I know it is highly unlikely.

Yes, that actually is the other thing. I do play a lot of dice games before but even since pandemic I really slowed down on it, and if not for the Sportsbet promos and other sites I support,,, I never touch card games and table games. I am used to 1% or lower house edge on dice,,, with provably fair. Not that card games at casinos are not fair, I just never feel I should play high house edge games.

Sportsbook stakes competition similar to live casino could be great but very hard to wager big if bets settle daily unless you go Live Sportsbetting,,, which is not my thing either.

Multimaster 100% the best. I would recommend bring it back but with sports wager requirement, like must make 5 mbtc bet in past week,,, which is quite high maybe but at least you reward loyal players.
715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 09, 2022, 10:02:44 AM
No Italian team does not want to win Scudetto in a season where Juventus is weak. I believe for every team, trophies are nice and great but you are measured by history in your domestic league wins.


I think every team wants to win the championship and they are happy when Juventus is not so good. Then it's easier for them. Only this year there are 3 other strong teams fighting for the championship. Inter Milan, AC Milan and SSC Napoli. I still think there will be a winner between AC and Inter Milan. Their games and their attack ist rly good, both teams have scored more goals than Juventus or Napoli. Another important matchday will be 03.04. Juventus Turin against Inter Milan. On no other day do these 4 teams play against each other.

Yes,,, that is literally what I was saying in response to someone wondering if some team does not really want to win the league. In Spain when Barcelona and Real Madrid are weak, other teams believe more than ever. I think the same in Italy, and for sure in France and England if PSG and City are weak, every Top 6 team fights.

Believe me,,, all the teams in Serie A from #1 to #6 will fight for this to the last.

LOL The Bayern München managed to score 7 goals (including 4 in the first half) and Salzburg even managed to score one goal at the 70th minute and despite that the blackjack bet ended in a push! That's crazy, I just can't believe it. We didn't get any BJ since 20th february (and I missed it)  Undecided

I never really can tell the performance of these teams as I can rely only on the news reports and the video highlights if I can find it. We usually can get it at the end of the week unless you stick to the same channel waiting for the replays.

Salzburg to already reach this stage and force a draw in first leg,,, already a huge achievement. I think it could easily have been 10 goals if you see the statistics of how many times Bayern try to score!

8 goals and still just enough for push, because zero cards in this game  Shocked

I think cancel culture if I am not mistaken happens some time after the fact so if this is what happened to him then it was very quick and he did the move first before people started questioing. Remember already he was not at Chelsea for a long time because UK government itself never approved his visa in last few years. It was only last year he went to London again using his Israel passport. So the cancel thing probably just kept pushing him out.

Chelsea was his plaything, for sure. I do not know if he loved it the way we do,,, but he for sure did not love the managers  Grin
I would guess that he just didn't want to deal with the headache and that's all. He could be in London or not but he was the owner on official papers and that's what matters. He made some big splash transfers and he won some cups and he did what he wanted to do with the club and now he probably just didn't want to deal with any of this. He is known to live on his yacth, and by yacht I mean floating castle basically, and he will probably just rest of this days doing whatever he wants with the amount of money he has.

When you are that wealthy, when you are at a wealthy level where you could literally do ANYTHING you want, like straight up buy netflix as a whole instead of just subscription level of wealthy, then these things do not matter all that much to you anymore.

Some cups? Haha I think he has won every single thing with Chelsea, the Club World Cup was the last cup he needed to complete his collection,,, hence he can boast to everyone that he alone took Chelsea from almost nothing to winning every single thing there is to win and in only less than 20 years.

So this is something that money can help you to get but not guarantee,,, anyone can go and buy netflix, but ask Manchester City and PSG especially (and maybe now Newcastle) if winning trophies matter to their club owners. For sure it does Smiley

Is anyone watching Liverpool against Inter tonight in Champions League?
They need to wake up fast, Inter is leading with one goal and things can get serious if they score one more.
Inter just got red card and it would be big miracle if they manage to score again and progress in next stage.


Ask UEFA to please play these games at 4pm and MAYBE I can stay up to watch  Grin

EFT you mean ETF? I thought we already know ETF news is not really important? Sure it gives investor confidence but Bitcoin does not need to be moving in stock markets or index,,, it has strong foundation statistics that grows stronger every year.

Even though retail buying may not be a lot but I still believe people using and spending and trading every day is what eventually puts price at a strong foundation for the FOMO to build on.

Never had any issue with it and if Steve said you will get it then you will. Well he had alot on his plate right now so probably he forgot about it you might want to PM Steve again if you havent receive it, its fine to send him one more PM to enquire about it ( or probably he sent it usdt free bets and you have to change your currency? idk I never had one on usdt though )



Anyway, I kinda missed having the live casino hero or the regular multimaster again ( I wonder if they will ever bring the multimaster back ). Some regular event / contest to talk about on this thread would be nice though sometimes  Smiley

100%. I was probably like you guys before worried when it never came in instantly but I now learn that if you win a freebet, you will get it in your account,,, and sometimes even a bit more than what you thought you would win!

It does not matter what currency the freebet comes, you will see it in your Rewards section, but you need to switch currency to use the freebet in the right currency.

I honestly do not know if I miss Live Casino Hero as that was SO tough to do every day but I DO miss Multimaster as a former winner Wink

Yes, but maybe in the end he doesn't even care about winning the Scudetto. What big teams want is money, so go to the Champions League.
Perhaps Atalanta fails this year, it would be a shame. Too much tough competition.

Tell that to Arsenal fans and club owners though,,, who went to Champions League every year for so long and made so much profits but never won the league again. Everyone got so angry they kicked the good old Wenger out.

No Italian team does not want to win Scudetto in a season where Juventus is weak. I believe for every team, trophies are nice and great but you are measured by history in your domestic league wins.
