Great promotion being posted @rohang !
Would have missed it if you didn't mention about it just now because had been just making my bet on today's UCL match:


This one between Paris St.Germain vs Arsenal is absolutely possible to occur with only 2 shots needed by Dembele and Saka.

Re: Trump picks the first ever bitcoiner on a presidential ticket who holds bitcoin!
by

on 07/05/2025, 14:09:51 UTC

Trump's 100th day in office and BTC price has reached nearly $95,000.
So whatever that has been done in the US presidency towards cryptocurrency and most notably bitcoin has worked well so far.
Yes. Everything about Trump's presidency has been good for crypto, except for the tariffs. Part of the rise has to do with the "90-day tariff pause" imposed by the President. After such time ends, market prices go could all the way down the drain in an instant. Assuming Trump keeps the tariff rates initially proposed on "Liberation Day". If he lowers them down (by making deals with world countries), then the market will stay bullish.

Either way, Trump's pro-crypto administration will surely bring innovation and growth in the industry within the next 4 years. More companies will open their doors to the US, possibly making the country "the crypto capital of the world". The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the pro-crypto SEC chairman Paul Atkins, and the cancellation of a US CBDC, are all crypto-friendly measures meant to boost market prices in the long run. Bitcoin is closer to $100k than it was before. It should only be a matter of time before this happens. Exciting times ahead for Bitcoiners, imo. Smiley
Yet Trump's attempt to make Canada part of the United States didn't seem to work imposing Tariffs.
During the meeting with Canada's recently elected prime minister he still is stating he would like Canada to be part of Trump Country:
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/carney-meets-trump-bid-reset-strained-canada-us-relations-2025-05-06

Bitcoin is still increasing on a daily basis and is nearing that $100k mark. Currently reaching $97k just last night.

Also hear that s1mple has signed with Faze Clan just ahead of the IEM tournament in Austin:
I'm surprised they managed to bring back s1mple to competitive, and even if it's only for the major, I can see the possibility of a miracle run similar to what Gambit did back then.

Who could they be? few days remaining for it to start.
I predict Team Spirit, but we'll see if another team like NaVi or Aurora prepared something during these past few weeks.
Everytime somebody on here mentions Aurora, I keep thinking you are talking about a DOTA2 team but then remember it is the rebranding of Eternal Fire.

About S1mple, Team Falcons had him on their team early on in the year. So for this loan, if he turns the team around and actually win this IEM could they sign him on for good and break his contract with Falcons?

Because I am sure if a team wants him to be on an active roster he would rather play than just sitting around being a trophy player even if he is getting paid to do so.
Or he would be known as one of those players who just fade away into nothingness.
Boombl4 instantly comes to mind.
He even tried last year to come back with a very low tiered team but failed to make it out successfully.

All this time I had not known your team was Manchester United.
Everytime I see them play I pick a draw or them to lose. They are certainly the Red Devils for me! Grin

Was just about to depo for the next round because the prize received for last round doesn't cut it and looking at the matches it looks like another tough one.
Fulham vs Everton
Southampton vs Manchester City
Ipswich vs Brentford
Wolverhampton vs Brighton Hove Albion
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
Newcastle vs Chelsea
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester  City
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool vs Arsenal
and as you had mentioned your Manchester United vs West Ham

I don't believe all favorites will win their matches because they never had for any matchweek in the past and the league is coming to an end this month.
So not many games left for these teams since the season is closing for the ones relegated.

The more he keeps his opinions to himself and that includes his views on certain memecoins, the better it is for the entire cryptocurrency market.
He hasn't done anything in the past week on X about cryptocurrency and it has done a reversal on the price.
BTC reaching $90,000 again! Grin
Lol. Elon Musk is history. Especially after what he did during his tenure as head of D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency). People already noticed he uses manipulation to get what he wants. You can see Dogecoin's price haven't moved "an inch", even after the constant "shilling" from the tech entrepreneur.

Last time I've checked, Elon's "X" made a partnership with VISA to bring digital payments to the platform. But there were no mention of Dogecoin whatsoever. I guess he deceived investors with his false promises (integrating DOGE payments on "X"). It's time to turn the page and move on with our lives. At least, BTC is doing well. And that's what matters here.
Not only a partnership with a credit card company but also an entire town for his SpaceX company to create a rocketship launch site there.

Heard this news a couple of days ago but didn't think it was in a realm of possibility but here it is:

source: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/elon-musks-starbase-becomes-an-official-city-in-texas-all-you-need-to-know/articleshow/120864805.cms

There is a city called Starbase and it is a city for SpaceX under Elon.

I sincerely hope that Belal loses this fight. That's the only way that Makhachev can fight in another category and that will allow other fighters to compete as well. Makhachev said that he wouldn't fight Belal because they are on the same team and train together. So, the best thing for the public, in my opinion, is for the entire category to be shaken up so that we can have good fights throughout the year.
Actually I hated when he won the title and would of been better if Edwards kept it. Would of won my UFC parlay too if Leon did.
Many fans of the UFC have put their feelings forwards on their socials of how they don't like Belal as champion as he is a boring type in and outside of the octagon.

On the 5th map - Nuke, I thought that Team Falcons would be able to come to the lead that Team Vitality has.
That was an interesting ending for both teams, Team Falcons still did well but the title is for Team Vitality. Just after the IEM Melbourne, they're quick to take another championship.
It did look doable after they secured the remaining rounds at the end of the first half from down 1-7 to 5-7, but Vitality didn't slow down and continued racking up rounds after winning the pistol round in the second half.
Yeah, I've seen that moment and I thought that Team Falcons is going to take the lead. Team Vitality was good when they were the terrorist although they're also good with counter-terrorists. I'm just impressed with how they've played that map.
At least we'll see a new team winning the upcoming PGL Astana tournament since they probably withdrew again, just like the other top teams.
No Vitality there and as well as Team Falcons. So, that's right. We'll see another champion after this PGL Astana.
Who could they be? few days remaining for it to start.
They had mentioned there was going to be break between tournaments during the end of the broadcast of this Blast Rivals tournament.
Just didn't know that Team Falcons and Vitality were absent fo this PGL.

Yea that was such a bad second half by arsenal. Feels bad for people who bet on them, allowing a comeback like that 
I'm starting to think PSG broke their spirits the other day.
That means I had none correct for the three today and am stuck on 2/5. Just an abysmal result going into tomorrow.
With that Everton/Ipswich draw decided to change my predictions from draws to home wins instead.
Those draws might've paid off, but I hope you took the correct home teams since we had two yesterday from Brentford and Chelsea.
Currently 5/9, i'm thinking between Palace or draw for the final match. I don't trust Forest anymore after that 0-2 loss the other week.
Got only the minimum to receive a prize. Yesterday's match ruined my attempt to get money back.
After that Crystal Palace goal there was still 30-25 minutes left of the match so there was a chance that Nottingham Forest was going to score.
Just before regulation ended Crystal Palace had so many chances to go ahead and hit the crossbar.

Currently 5/9, i'm thinking between Palace or draw for the final match. I don't trust Forest anymore after that 0-2 loss the other week.
Dang, You must have taken Brentford to win over Manchester United again.

Sadly for me I trusted NFO to win again so I really need the to win for my 4th point. Yep another terrible week for me after that last decent round. I was actually predicting most of the home team to win and add some twist into it like Draw on Manchester United and Southampton to win so yeah that sucks and I deserved to be burned by that
That was the only match I had correct for the matches played Sunday.
Had them set as draw but since there were several of them the previous day changed it to a home win instead.
Chelsea beating Liverpool many didn't see happening not even the sportsbooks since they had them as favorites.
They are the match of the week when they face off against Newcastle on Sunday.

“You want me to let him past as well?”
I laughed so hard listening to Hamilton there, Ferrari is just bad as ever at strategies, not that RB did any great work or that other teams are flawless, but the way they manage to scrw things over and over again is just on another level
Mate, this really made my day as well.  I can't imagine how fed up Hamilton is with these clowns already now. I always wonder... Is the Ferrari crew privileged? Like there is nobody else to employ.

Huge win for Piastri. Clean drive. Norris is still so bad. I can't believe how he let Verstappen stall him that easy. It was where Norris lost his chance for the win. Piastri deserves the title even more day by day.
Did you hear Lewis even comment on Sainz when Leclerc told him he was 4 places back?
That was a punch at Hamilton and he basically said the same thing inregards if he should be giving him his place too.
That exchange between the Ferrari team and drivers were comical but you can tell Lewis was fuming at the end.

What a jump this was for cls63 in Miami Grand Prix!
He won 18 points and he moved up 14 places in leaderboard  Shocked
I dropped in leaderboard after winning only 12 points, I didnt expect Piastri to win the race, and Verstappen to win the pole position.
I think it was due to Max past experience on this track so he can handle it well with no other cars fighting along side him to disrupt his driving. So that would be why he took pole position from a qualifying session.
But when it comes to fighting for position during a race, the RB can not do anything against the McLaren cars this year.
Even during the race he kept complaining about the brakes not responding as they did previously.
You can see him locking up at points during the race and then resulted in losing position.

Wll, direct battle and seems like the RB car can't do anything, Piastri and Norris are just too fast, and I feel like there is simply nothing that can be done on dry tracks like this one, rain might be coming but with another badly timed pit I don't see Max clinging even to the podium at this moment (lap29).

I'm starting to become a bit disappointed, I wanted more of a competition but it seems like the fight is just fr sprints and qualifying, once you get to the points, there is little of it.
Just wondering if one minute after I hit post a storm happens and everything goes completely against what I'm predicting right now
Both McLaren's just have too much pace as you can see from the battles between Verstappen with first Piastri then with Norris in the first few laps.
It was a dominate win by Piastri being ahead of another team by 40 seconds and Norris being ahead by 32 seconds where Russell ended up taking the final podium place.

Ferrari were giving instructions to Leclerc but Hamilton didn't get the directions to let him pass so to try and catch Kimi.

What a rough card to predict for this event.
Had all my prelim selections completely wrong for the UFC Fight Night yesterday.

For the main card I didn't fair to well either.
Deiveson Figueiredo got absolutely destroyed by Cory Sandhagen for both rounds because Figueiredo kept going for a leg lock that wasn't going anywhere and ended up getting his own leg locked and hammer fisted into a loss. Heard he torn his ACL the way his leg was trapped.

Reinier de Ridder was the only great pick I had after he knocked out Bo Nickal with a devasting knee to the midsection.
He dropped like a punching bag after that.

Blast Rivals 2025 Season 1 Grand Finals are just about to start with Team Vitality vs Team Falcons.

The favorites are of course Vitality because as mentioned by boltz and ralle14 they are nearing the record of 28 consecutive wins in professional CounterStrike.

Not too sure who to back since Falcons with M0nesy in their lineup are starting to click and it showed yesterday.
Earlier, Team Falcons got the momentum on their side before heading into the final map (Nuke), but now it's looking dire for them since the scoreline is 1-6 and they've only won the force buy round.

I'm riding my Vitality ticket all the way, and hopefully, they close it out before Team Falcons wakes up in the second half.
That was a great grand final!
Watched the first map where Falcons were looking sharp but then they lost the next two 6-13.
Started watching the third map where Falcons were up 12-3 but Vitality ended up making a match of it bringing it into OT. But ended up losing it because m0nesy's last two kills. He was the star of the match along with Zywoo.

After being tied 2-2 the final map was hammered at 11-8 after Falcons got confused of where they went with the bomb and ended up fumbling it all up.
That put the nail in their coffin and Team Vitality won it.

They have been outstanding all year long so far in these clutch matches.

No points for Max in the sprint, then pole position.
3rd place for Lewis in the sprint, 12 on the grid for the race.
Antonelli first for the sprint, finished 7th,  3 for the race.....I see where this is going.

And just as I wanted to make fun of the McLaren mechanics about the forgotten tools, the RB ones pulled that stupid release...

Either way, the race is going to be interesting, especially if it rains.
Antonelli really has impressed first with the sprint still finishing above Verstappen who was 17th. But then starting 3rd on the grid for the race today.

@crwth
There should be some chaos today when the cloud part and the rain starts coming down.
Would be spectacular if Kimi finishes on the podium ahead of Piastri!

New round starts tonight, dont foret to submit your prediction boys. I personally think that Manchester City has been steadily going back to where they were before so Im starting off by picking them to win tonight. Time to get another 7/10 on this round 
You were right with Manchester City coming back into form, but alot too late with it being the end of the season.

Let's go for the 10/10 shall we?!

Aston Villa are leading so if you took them you are off to good start!

I took almost all home wins today aside from the two draws but I think I put them for tomorrow's matches.

Also went with the one upset as always with the Sotons.
Dang why do we had the same answers?

I also had all home wins except for Southamptons. To be honest, Im not sure how drunk I was when I was predicting this but seriously that now Im really sober it was so weird. I mean in the game between two of the worst teams in EPL, its just weird to take the away team especially when it was worse compared to the home team.

It could have been 4/4 if only I picked Leicester though. Everton would probably keep their lead and win the game
Southampton ruined it for both of us! Leicester City gets their first win at home of the entire season just today.
Vardy got his 199th goal of his career so it was a great match if you are a Leicester fan, even though they are out of the EPL for next season.

It was close to being a perfect day, but Everton and Arsenal failed us while having the home field advantage.

Still, 3/5 for me after those two shaky ending, only need a few more to keep the profit streak going.
Couldn't believe Arsenal bottled it with a 1 goal lead going into the second half. So they allowed the Cherries to score 2 goals?! Unbelievable!
That means I had none correct for the three today and am stuck on 2/5. Just an abysmal result going into tomorrow.
With that Everton/Ipswich draw decided to change my predictions from draws to home wins instead.
