What do you guys think of Leverkusen getting a proper beating from Atalanta and ending their 51 games without a loss streak? Will this affect their performance next season? Do you consider them to be the favourite to defend their title (if no major changes to the team are made)?

I think it was a sobering reality check and a signal that they need to continue working hard to repeat their success and nothing will be given to them for free. There was almost something magical about their undefeated streak, especially given the 3 recent 90+ minute equalisers, which could create an impression that there's some higher power behind them preventing them from losing. They might have believed it a little bit too much and got a cold shower.

That's what everyone thinks, but it's not like Dustin will show up in there just to take a beating and get his cheque. He's got a really good wrestling sparring partner (Gamrot) and will definitely show up with a plan to keep the fight in stand-up or neutralise Islam's ground game, e.g., similar to how Volk did it in their first fight.
Islam grows more and more confident in his striking, so I won't be surprised if he's willing to trade shots with Dustin at the beginning, and there's when things can go wrong for him.

lol

Nah, he was ready to fight but got injured, so can't blame him for that. And I blame the UFC for the fact that they allowed him to fight Stipe instead of Aspinall after his recovery.
He should be stripped if he refuses to fight Tom (or whoever will be holding the interim belt) after his fight with Stipe.
Is he though? Sounds like he advises ditching Bitcoin in favour of fat girls. Don't be falling for that.

Un-banning mixers would be a good start  .

But honestly, I get the vibe that theymos doesn't really care too much about the forum traffic and whether it's growing or shrinking and sees himself more of an heir to Satoshi's legacy (he created this forum). In other words, he approaches it as more of a custodian rather than an entrepreneur, which is probably not a bad thing.

Many people here disagreed with me when I posted the above, but I'm not going to rub it in your faces. I'm also surprised with the result and thought Leverkusen would do much better than that.
I expected that, in the best-case scenario for Atalanta, they could steal a win by one goal or win the penalty shootout. Instead, they've proven to the world that they are no pushovers and are force to be reckoned with.
I suspect the fact that Atalanta is still fighting in the Serie A (with 2 more games to go), while Bundesliga has already concluded, has a pretty big effect on the result. It could be that Bayer subconsciously went into the relaxed, post-season mode, while Atalanta didn't lose their rhythm.
It could also be that the German team convinced themselves a little too much that they were invincible, which was reinforced by all the experts, fans and odds makers, and lost that underdog energy they started the season with. There's nothing worse you can do in any competition than to start celebrating before the game begins.

Dzięki za ostrzeżenie. Osobiście nigdy wcześniej o nich nie słyszałem i trzymam się swoich starych i sprawdzonych portfeli.

Trochę brzydko to wygląda dla Apple, które ponoć weryfikuje aplikacje pod względem bezbieczeństwa itp przed dopuszczenim ich do Appstore. Oczywiście wszystkiego zweryfikować się nie da (np. intencji deweloperów) ale pewnie sporo ludzi miało fałszywe poczucie bezpieczeństwa.

No to już chyba oficjalnie po "odreagowaniu". Cena nam od tygodnia konsekwentnie wędruje w góre, so jest chyba w miarę po linii z poprzednimi cyklami.
Powoli zaczynamy atakować ATH z marca ($73,750 wg coinmarketcap) i kto wie co będzie dalej...
Powiadają że cykle się skracają i ewentualne szczyty mogą przyjść znacznie wcześniej niż w poprzednich latach.

Mam nadzieję że zmieniłeś target i nie czekałeś na $57k 

Warta is in a tough spot, they couldn't imagine any worse game to play in the final round than an away match against a highly motivated leader of the table fighting for the title.
They are currently outside of the relegation zone and the 16th Korona also has a hard game to play against Lech, but I don't think Lech has much left to play for (other than just for keeping their 4th place). There's a risk that Lech might do Korona a favour and let them win, although I don't think their fans would appreciate that.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I think Radomiak is also not yet safe from relegation.

"The trolling continues until performance improves" is a fair policy
I got the odds from Unibet, but they only have one type of bet for MMA fights, so can't bet on Belal winning by KO. Maybe other sites will offer more markets closer to the fight (if anyone is aware of such, please share).
If the odds for that were around x10, I might consider it. It's an MMA after all, miracles can happen.

I think so too. Leon had a streak of solid performances, but it's not like he's a dominant champion that is level above anyone else. He's definitely beatable even in front of his own fans.

I find it hard to believe. Would the UFC officially announce the fight if the contracts were not signed? Sounds odd.

I don't mind Leverkusen winning it tomorrow, because we all like Cinderella stories - a team that nobody expected to win anything is having their best season ever and keeps on pumping their games without a loss record. But, at the same time, the odds for Atalanta look really attractive.
Leverkusen will have to lose eventually, so why not tomorrow? It's also possible that Bayer could lose the final in penalties, so technically speaking, they wouldn't lose the game and their undefeated run would not end.
I'd say that both teams (if performing at their 100%) are on a similar level, with Bayer being only slightly better. So I made a small double-chance bet on Atalanta at x1.94.

Fixed supply - price can be manipulated up by Tether
Non-fixed supply - price can be manipulated up by Tether AND can be manipulated down by increasing supply

Here's your difference. How hard is it to grasp?

Those times are long gone. We still pretend that there are some arch-rivalries between clubs from the same city, but no one cares about that anymore other than the fans.
Now all the top clubs have the majority of players and coaching teams that are not local, who changed their clubs multiple times in their careers and they'd simply put their personal interests before any club animosities.
So when they get paid bonuses for wins, goals scored or assists made and when good performance can be converted into better career opportunities - they would not sacrifice that and lose a game just to spite some rival team.

2nd prediction:

$72,095

I believe it's advised for fighters to have 6-12 month break after a knockout, but Fury was not KO'd cold (i.e. his body did not shut down) so I don't think he would need that long to recover. Plus, neither of them is getting any younger so they cannot afford to sit idle for too long, so the proposed date of rematch for October sounds reasonable.

Fury mentioned a few times before that he struggled to find motivation for regular fights that didn't have much on the line. So I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to retire if he were to fail the rematch. Or maybe he would just take Joshua for his final goodbye fight, as there was a lot of beef and some unsettled score between those two.
But whether or not his career would be over, it'll be entirely up to him. His name will still be so big that he wouldn't be complaining about the lack of options (for less money of course).

If you're not saying that he's a puppet account then why would you post this at all? What were your intentions behind making that post?

Should I feel indirectly accused of being a "puppeteer" because I sent him 1 merit?

We might be approaching another bull run, so it's more than expected to see newbies asking for advice on sell signals, etc, and asking for the community's opinion.
The forum activity in 2023 dropped by 30% as compared to 2022 and 2024 is not looking great either. Who are you helping by attacking newbies like this?
I really like your contributions to other topics, but I don't think you're fair here and I think you owe the guy a little apology, unless you have something more solid to back it up.

The final round was quite predictable, but not going to lie, I' was a bit surprised by the consistent win streaks of both top teams in the final stages.
Winning streaks of 6 for Arsenal and 9 for Man City were, statistically speaking, quite unlikely to happen in such a strong league. I was expecting them to show some season fatigue, similar to Liverpool, who were hanging in there for a long time, but couldn't withstand the pressure and dropped out of the title race.
Both teams can be proud of their performance, sadly, the winner could be only one.

I see you're not a Fury fan to the point that you're being unreasonable in your criticism.
Why would he be content in fighting bums? Not for the glory/legacy, that's for sure, so for money? A rematch with Usyk would yield them much more than a dozen bum fights.

He lost to Usyk in a close fight by split decision while dealing more physical damage to Usyk than the other way around. Of course he's not without a chance in a rematch, so why would he be afraid of it?

Plus, they had a rematch clause in the contract, both confirmed they want it to happen, and it's tentatively scheduled for 12th October, so this is happening unless one of them backs out of it (there could be some penalties involved though).

Yup, that's precisely why the activity was through the roof in 2018 and the primary reason for developing the merit system to prevent spam. The mechanism was simple - create another "groundbreaking" bullshit token, hire people to promote it and pay them in that token, so you had all totally free marketing and the people promoting it (if successful) were the ones giving it any value so "developers" could dump it on unexpected investors who believed in the project. Crazy times and pretty educating on how the value is created etc.

I don't know if there's any official boxing rule saying that a boxer needs to drop to the ground (or kneel etc) before he can be considered knocked down and the counting can begin, but if it's up for the referee to decide, then I see no controversy re the round 9 situation.
Tyson was in trouble but he was conscious, so stopping the fight would be completely wrong, and I don't think Fury would necessarily be KO'd cold if the referee didn't step in. Anything could've happened, but, to me, it looked like Fury was about to drop on his knee before he noticed the ref got between himself and Usyk.
This doesn't matter though, as Usyk has still won, and during the post-fight interview, he wasn't bothered by the situation at all.
I haven't seen the full fight yet, only the extensive highlights, but think Usyk won fair and square. The rematch should be really exciting.

I was fearing that West Ham might put everything on defence and that it could take a while for the City to score the first goal, but happy to report that I was wrong.
Foden only needed 2 mins to give his team the lead and in 18th he scored the 2nd one.

Looks like there won't be any last-minute surprises at the top. Man City is clearly dominating with 83% possession and 9 shots on goal already.
