who would think that Dzeko will be CL SF scorer this season
he is wrapping a great career with this goal, maybe he can add a decisive in CL final?

looking at match, it was different from I expected, and Milan lost due to fast goals, they simply could not be back into the match
is this the end now for them, not sure TBH, one more match to play, and it could end up in their favor

I tried to add a comment to the Google sheet, but actually no clue if it worked. I also sent you a PM with my address (it's the same address I used plenty of times here on Bitcointalk).

And it looks like the Bitcoin network congestion is getting better. TXs in the mempool dropping to 300k (from 400k a few days ago). Fees also dropping below 100 sat/vB.

Congrats on winning the yellow cap @Omikifuse. Close race for the spots 2-5 until the end, as I predicted earlier. 

Will be tough to defend my 2nd place, haha.

Me too, I have nothing left to play for in the pool but I'm still putting my picks in, and maybe I will put it opposite of my bets to help push it towards a win.

City looked really good in control, but without control they look like any other bad team. GL to you, it seems you meet Inter?

Let me be honest with you, slaman29. I put my picks for the second leg today and I admit that I'm a terrible fan. While I was so positive about my team before the 1st leg started, I re-watched the game this morning and realized Man City really dominated the match. It's just because the referee was so soft towards Madrid players after they made countless fouls yet no card given to them except Kroos (that was nasty foul obviously) and Camavinga. In the end, for the second leg I decide to favor City to win, but deep in my heart of course I hope Madrid can turn the table

Oh damn finally it's going to normal. I'm still waiting my deposit after 2 days lol.

If you're still having issues, there is a little trick we discussed on the German board a few days ago to speed up TXs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2699682.msg62222177#msg62222177

If you're not having like 10+ outputs, you should at least be able to get it confirmed within the next few hours. At least it worked for all of us so far.

MATE IT WORKED! I don't know the exact reason but it got confirmed few hours after I followed your step, and even without additional fee! Thank you so much bullrun Now the issue is, my deposit hasn't been credited yet even after my tx has 20 confirmations already. Seems I'm not allowed to bet on UEL match this time lol. No worries on this though, I have contacted the support already and they are processing it manually. Man I'm still amazed. I'm just like 20 years left behind you in technology lol.

Milan, Napoli, Inter, are just impossible to predict, Inter probably played their best game of the season considering how bad results been in different weeks.

I used think Napoli was my bad luck but it seems both Milan and Real brings me bad luck too. Real vs City was hard to predict for me and I was lost in both Milan match too resulting nothing to get from the semi 1st leg. Hopefully in the 2nd leg I will have some lucks.

I'll follow Real again I think, I have been disappointed too many times by Spanish teams this whole past weeks aaa!!

Haha ah I didn't know that Real deserved many cards, sometimes I like that, obviously referee needs to be smart and show early cards sometimes to control the match later on. I know City always dominate though but it doesn't mean anything if you pass hundred times side to side in front of strikers which is normal for City. I've seen 80% domination and wasting of time for them, typical for Pep even Barca did that before, and lose deservedly after dominating 90% but making no serious attack.

[buwaytress]

@bullrunbro: it totally worked. You can see a tiny little coloured mark in the top right corner of the cell you left a comment on;)

Anyway, yeah, I've to say I'm a bit disappointed in the recent semis... Real lost me money, and I did well to not bet on the other semi, but has anyone noticed how good Real odds are on the next game? Unfortunately, I'll be putting down probably more than I should on that haha...

And hopefully, for the last semi off topic, re ViaBTC, yeah that's the only legitimate public free "accelerator" I know of. Antpool was better, as they had no limits, but they took it down a while back.

The main issue with Via is the tx size.

It's not just outputs actually. Inputs are more problematic for tx size... there was an old formula I knew but with segwit I can't pull it out of my head... but the formula easiest to remember for me, roughly, the most common type of native-to-native Segwit tx, would be 1 input to 2 outputs (assuming change) and that's already around 100-110 bytes.

x = Additional inputs after the first: roughly 70 bytes each.
y = Additional outputs after the second: roughly 30 bytes each.

110+70x+30y

So you could probably actually still spend to 10 outputs and be below 500 bytes. The problem is all our inputs, 34 of them  =)

But I haven't paid more than 10 sats/byte for years since maybe 2018? So never could use Via anyway haha.

P.S. Belatedly, good news, our pool "problem" is settled. I managed to consolidate everything at a rather "bargain" cost of just over 1 mbtc. In fact, if I'd waited just an hour more, I would have saved a bit more, but all the same, pleased! So prizes will not be affected very much at all, and payment should actually be small enough to accelerate if need be.

I'll post back in a few days the final prize distribution figures, just so we know in all it's glory. $10,000 prize pool, amazing, huh?

I have not decided yet who to follow between City and Real but for sure Inter is my next horse for the other semi 2nd leg. Home team, 2 goals ahead. They will be stress-less and will play their natural game which is defending the score. Doing that will bring them some chances for counter attack and they may find few times their ball in the back of the opponents net.

And who do you think will come out for all-attaching play in the Manchester City-Real Madrid game? I believe Manchester City will run around like spoilt kids again, as they did in the first leg, while Real Madrid does the damage with counter-attacking football, playing deep with Camavinga and Kroos, then Modric a bit up front to set up the counter passes, I believe Real Madrid will wrap it up in a very fashionable way. A crucial round for everyone in the pool, it's a make or break round for those of us in the bottom of the top 10, because the CL final wouldn't mean much to anyone.

I think the visitors are the underdogs, while the home team is the best playing on their own turf, and the support of the fans will have a big impact on the atmosphere of the match. I am currently in the lower ranks and cannot taste the cake here, but despite this, I will place a big bet this time in favor of the visitors because the odds of @5.30 are good for me, and I don't know if the MANCITY team will really kick me.

Real are playing tonight and their line up is awful to say the least compared to their usual starting eleven which means that they do not care at all about La Liga anymore being fully focused in the Champions League which make me think they will go out in attack in Manchester.

Of course it won't be easy at all for them as Manchester City knows very well that if they win this game and get qualified past Real Madrid in theory they should be for the first time winners of the Champions League most likely as both Inter and Ac Milan stand no chance against them.

There is another example to this in the Europa League which is Sevilla.

Maybe they weren't the same as Sevilla in the La Liga but they still gave up on the title early. But they are still able to do a great job in the Champions League.

That's a valuable odd right there, and I might put some money on it tomorrow before it starts falling, because we're talking about 15-time champions here, and let me blow your mind Man City have no big fan base, and the club rarely fills the stadium, therefore I don't see them having any impact at all.

They already lost it to Barcelona a few weeks ago, so it's simply a distraction, and it makes no sense to risk the players when there's a vital game coming up in a few days. The pressure is on Pep's guys, who have a must-win game tomorrow and another coming up in a few days.

[darxiaomi]

CRACKmavinga, was subed in today game from Real Madrid for a injury, i dont know how serious was the injury but this can be a clear issue for Real Madrid.

I dont know how can be the "3" if Camavinga doesnt play, because Nacho its good at defense but in offensive....

Today also play the titular in that place Ferland Mendy, but he was subbed at the half time, i dont know if was for precaution and save him for UCL or because he cant play the whole game.

Right now the odd for Real is 17/4 which is a good bargain considering the record Real and City both has in Champions League. Real is a team who have the highest success rate in the league and despite being best in English Football league and many other leagues, City is a team who still yet to break the code to win their first CL title. I am considering to risk some money for Real too after looking at the odd LOL. At least a $50 😂

The injury doesn't appear to be serious; he left the game without being carried out or anything, and if he isn't fit to play, Alaba will play at the No 3 position, with Eder and Rudiger playing gat the 5 and 6 spots, respectively. Nevertheless, I would still like to see him play on Wednesday because he is someone I enjoy watching, and it would be unfortunate if he didn't.

Yes I'll probably be betting on the team with the bigger odds whether it's Inter or Real, City will surely still be favorites, but Milan can also turn things around. Maybe Inter+Lukaku goal is my pick but let's see first.

Camavinga not playing is bad news, he was really good in the first leg...

The Milan derby is too hard to predict for me logically. It's hard to take any side. I can convince myself that City never won CL no matter how good their team is on the other hand Real are 15 times Champions in Champion league, on top of that Benzema needs to perform in the 2nd leg. So risking with Real has some facts to support the slip.

SB still have good odds for Real by the way, with boost you still can get 5.60 odd for Real to win.

Camavinga not playing is bad news, he was really good in the first leg...

Let's hope it does not effect them. Real knows they need to win the match by any means at least to equal the aggregate they need 2 goals margin. This match will have high score no matter who wins.

[slightly edited]
I had Milan derby in mind and mixed it up with Real behind. Don't think there will be many goals in Milan derby but in City vs Real we will see many goals I guess.

[Altryist]

Even though this season has been one of their worst seasons in their history they are still doing very good in the Europa League. Real Madrid are in a similar situation too. Maybe they weren't the same as Sevilla in the La Liga but they still gave up on the title early. But they are still able to do a great job in the Champions League.

The end of the first match was under pressure from Real Madrid, they definitely didn't want to end this match in a draw. But can they do the same in England? Of course, we shouldn’t underestimate Real Madrid, these guys are able to beat any team, but it seems to me that Real Madrid’s middle line looks weaker, Modric is no longer so young and fast, and it was clear that Kros also did not have time in some moments.

City will have the advantage at home but I'm sure Real Madrid won't just give up the win, if we don't see quick goals then the match can become very cautious.
