Thanks for the reminder about the ‘listed’ aspect. I would be curious about the derivative exposure and the banks that have used various coins for collateral for loans.

When you mean "listed" do you mean my reference to Coinbase? And also do you mean investment banks exposure to derivatives and coins?

"Coinbase, yes part of the DCG too, confirmed that Grayscale assets were secure and given they are a listed company that is a fairly strong thing to say although nowadays who knows? " I recall that Enron, Worldcom and Wirecard were all listed as well. Doesn't seem that comforting

I really hope Australia can take a point from the France match. Last world cup they lost 2-1 to France. Interestingly, Denmark was also in Australia's group in Russia 2018 (Peru was the 4th last time, who Australia famously knocked out months ago to solidify their WC berth in a penalty shootout with their dancing substitute goalkeeper lol). Let's see. It may be a tighter match than the odds suggest. Disclaimer: I am Australian and slightly biased.

After a promising start, we fell apart. How disappointing. For today, I would like Croatia, Germany, Spain, and Belgium to win their matches (+1 handicap for all except Spain who won't need it).

it looked so good!

Good luck with the bets.

I have a friend who has a draw strategy over the group stages of major football tournaments. He stakes a certain sum on draws on all the games. If the first game ends in a non-draw he then doubles the stake on game 2 same again doubles on game 3 and continues until such time as he wins then he goes back to the original stake for the next game and so on. It has proved successful a lot of the time. He sometimes puts some alpha into it by not betting on the strong favourite games.

Anyway NOT BETTING/INVESTMENT advice

That's a fascinating strategy! I like it. The two draws last night would have made your friend happy 😊 Enjoy today's matches
