In terms of upside potential, yeah I totally agree with you.  Pogba has more of a chance to go level up a notch than Oscar does.  If Pogba does level up and become one of the greats at United, I don't think he'll leave the club.  First reason is he could be unbuyable like how Messi or Ronaldo are.  The price for him will just be too high.  The second reason is I think Pogba is to United as Messi is to Barca.

BetAdviser, are you somehow affiliated with Sportingbet?  If not, why not show us the best odds available for your bets even if it means posting a screenshot of another sports betting site.

Wrong, they have been stablilzing lately and Mourinho's current 4 3 3, with Pogba in the midfield played wide, Carrick in the middle and Herrera also wide have been working good for the last 10(?) fixtures.

The La Liga would be the best destination for him if he wants to play high level European football.  I don't know much about the clubs over there though, so I guess we would have to ask Falconer which La Liga club would suit him outside Barca and Real.

Nice analysis.  I wish more posters here would give a little more effort in this thread instead of spewing out mindless spam.

Chelsea do have the advantage here but I don't they can easily win it.  I could see them struggle a bit without Costa and especially Kante.  That midfield will have a hole that Wilshere can fill.

The decent bet would be the under 2.5 goals imho.

It's not 'dead', just stagnating both in terms of development and in 'adoption' whatever that means nowadays.  The sudden surge in price is obviously a pump and it can't be sustained for a long time by the people who did it, assuming the pump doesn't get, for lack of a better word, 'viral'.

Heavy betting towards Nunes is moving the line down and up for Rousey.  If Rousey's odds reach around 1.90 by Friday I could end up betting for her plus some Ronda win via sub props.

I hate those odds due to the fact that Costa and Kante are both serving one match bans.  And I wouldn't underestimate Eddie Howe and Bournemouth here.  He's clever and will definitely take advantage of those two key players being absent for their match.  The man to watch here is Jack Wilshere.  He'll definitely be more effective without Kante's influence in the midfield.

A player like Oscar wants first team football but it looks like he doesn't have a permanent spot in Conte's preferred
3 4 3 formation.  He probably got disillusioned with football in Europe and decided he could play for the money if the transfer to China takes place.

That's actually good news for Chelsea because they'll have extra funds to acquire Veratti with this January or on the next summer transfer window.  I'm pretty sure he'd love to play under Conte since Veratti played under him in the Italian national team.

I just found out...  Alan Pardew is sacked by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.  It is also understood that Sam Allardyce will replace him.

Between Pardew and Allardyce, I pick Pardew.  I like his high tempo style compared to Allardyce's preference in playing defensive, long ball football.  Palace should have given him a longer time to stay at the club.  Maybe they sacked him because he broke the club's transfer record twice and it has gained them nothing.  

Here's a link to the news.

These predictions are mostly nonsense.  I say this because every altcoin depends on the rise and fall of Bitcoin.  Look at the current prices of all the altcoins mentioned in the OP.  They're all in the red.  Now why is that?  The answer is pretty obvious.

A Week in Review

Monero:  Core GUI Beta 1 Released
https://getmonero.org/2016/12/22/monero-core-gui-beta-released.html


This is the only worthy news update among all the proof of work based coins.  The sad thing with Monero's recent release of its GUI is the timing.  If only Bitcoin isn't go through a strong price surge, XMR could be doing one of its own right now.  Put it in your watch list and look out for this one imo.

Cool!  Thanks.  That's a nice way of promoting the site around here.  I would also like to suggest in having a player vs player dice game to the site.  If it's possible, why not add Yatze in the list of games?  It's kinda like poker but with dice.  It's very addicting. 

BTC/USD:  The Parabolic Rise...  And When Things Start Breaking Down



This is where active traders, both pros and amateurs, start getting irrational and become risk averse as their gains start getting big.  In my experience of observing all the different coins and tokens traded in the scene, this is where some cheeky traders start taking profit by dumping on the clueless ones.  They live by the mantra 'Buy when others are fearful and sell when others are greedy'.  In knowing that some of the other short biased cheeky traders start placing their huge shorts in the market right now and make a killing when the trend reverses.  And with BTC, falling prices do fall fast. 

I'm not saying that Bitcoin will surely fall vs the USD right now, all I'm saying is that it's time to be careful.

Surprisingly the bookies think Man City is more likely to win it than Liverpool, and the same with Man United and Tottenham.  I would think it's the other way around.  I'm also curious what the odds are for Man United to be in the top 4, I'd rather have a Mourinho team in the CL next year than a Wenger team.

Let's see what the MMA pro fighters think.  Here are some videos of who they think shall be the winner in UFC 207's upcoming bouts.  Enjoy!

Yup.  That's called spamming.  And Boxx is running the campaign really well because he actually checks every single post and he's willing to remove participants if they catch them spamming.

Btw...  Thanks for the payment.

True.  I was sure I was betting on Nunes the minute I heard about the bout, but then I found out later that almost everyone was thinking the same way I do that Rousey might be psychologically impaired to take such an important fight.  And yet the lines stayed almost the same in the sports books.  Do the odds makers know something we don't?  Are the sharps still holding out until the last minute to pour the money in?

It almost feels like the sharps are waiting for the Rousey line to improve and pour all the money on her.

Isn't Vardy serving a one match ban for the alleged double footed tackle in their fixture against Stoke?  Everton has also lost their last 4 away games which could make Koeman use a more defensive approach.  A bet of under 2.5 goals is more likely to happen than both teams to score.  And please put the odds right beside your predictions.

You can't do this in the middle or at end of the week when payments are made.  That's unfair.  You know I make it a point to make good posts in any thread.


In my case I beg you to reconsider.  All my posts in the gambling discussion sub, be it in the prediction threads or not were NEVER made to spam.  So please make an exception to the users like me who are trying to make good content in the gambling discussion sub.  Please check my posts.

Edit:  And where do you expect we post in the gambling sub?  In spammy threads like these?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1550071.0

It would be better to ban all posts in the gambling sub altogether.  Which is counterintuitive since BitDice is a gambling site.  It's better to regulate each post the users make anywhere in the forum.  If you can't do it alone, I will be very happy to help you to flag spam posts and send them to you for approval each week.  What do you say?
