Thankfully the international break is over and we're back to club football.  Before declaring my bet, I'd have to say that I was really disappointed that my bet on Woodley was a draw and my wager was returned.  I was watching the fight in a bar with a friend and have already cheered for the victory.  I was about to say I was paying for the drinks, only for Bruce Buffer to return and say there was a mistake.  

Anyway for this weekend my bet is for Watford to win, +0 at 2.03 vs Leicester City.  Imho Watford is more in form if you compare it with LCFC, the game is at Watford's home and this is important especially when the players are coming home tired from international duty.

It's gonna be big for sure, but I doubt that it'll be bigger than 205.  Let's face it McGregor is the biggest UFC star right now after making history by winning and having two titles at the same time.  As Dana White said, he's special.  There's also some drama creeping from the media making some noise on a McGregor vs Woodley scenario.  If there's one fighter's draw that could beat 205's numbers, it's still Conor, as ironic as that sounds.

I can't help but laugh when I read your statement I bolded.  They sure do have a lot of 'stars' in their squad and the manager himself is a big star.  But their form as of late has been so abysmal and their 'star' players' performance so average that I can imagine Jose Mourinho getting a quote from a Tom Cruise movie but is actually looking like this...

There's no use speculating if Hamilton can still make it as the champ this season.  All the news from the F1 media are just there to keep milking the cow as much as they possibly can to keep the fans watching.  I think some of the fans have stopped following the current season and are ready for the developments of the next season.  I'm one of them. 

The Driver's Championship trophy is already in the bag for Rosberg.  Enough with all the drama already.

That could happen, and the Serie A is the mostly likely league where that could happen.  For starters, it's an 'easier' league than the EPL.  I know Falconer will call me out again for making this comment, but come on it's a fair assessment.  Even Pep Guardiola himself has said that the EPL is harder than he anticipated.  And it shows in City's form table.  They're not as dominant as the pundits projected before the season.

Hey guys, I wasn't able to do the weekly update last week because I was kinda busy and there wasn't really any worthy news to post anyway.  I finally decided to add Synereo in the list, I will do that after I get some stuff irl done.  I think their social media feature could find its market niche in the future.

And for you guys who like charts and price analysis, I have a thread running in the speculation section.  Just go in here My Speculation Thread

NXT/BTC:  Has the Accumulation Phase Begun?



Here's what most traders of cryptocurrencies want to keep quiet about:  When their favorite coins/tokens are in a phase of accumulation.  

They don't want it to be prematurely pumped before they have filled their bags as they want to gain the maximum profit (in BTC) possible that they can take from the market.  As for the chart, please notice the last red spikes in volume.  Imho, that's the last of the big sell downs and it's highly possible that there will be none as large as that anymore.  So it's probably safe to start accumulating some NXT now.

Please comment below.  

Who do you mean by 'they'?  Don't you think this is just a minor panic sell due to that fake news about capital controls by the Chinese government?  I think we're putting too much stock to that rumor that it's already affecting our way to trade.  There may be some traders who are still thinking twice before diving into the action right now.

Wow, your performance is really impressive.  Have you been using Sportsbet as your only sportsbook for making these bets?  I think it would be more profitable for you to shop for lines and use other sportsbooks as well unless you have an arrangement with Sportsbet.io which is fine.

What do you mean by 'they don't really deserve this'?  That they don't deserve to be on top of the table?  If so, why do you say that?  Each club that's working really hard every year deserves to be on top of the table.  And Liverpool is one of the hardest working team of players out there.  From what I read, Klopp pushes his players more compared to other managers.  In his style of play, he has to. 

Yeah same here.  But I'm open to the idea that maybe, just maybe they can make it to the finals.  I mean how great would that be for the fans, right?  Not just the LCFC fans, but for all of football as well.  Seeing an underdog story unveil for real in your favorite sport is priceless.

That being said, miracles don't happen all the time.  And in Ranieri's case, it won't happen every year.

I can't see how UFC 206 will top UFC 205.  Honestly after that event I don't think I'll be that excited for it in a little while.  Maybe I will in UFC 207, with Ronda vs Nunes.


'More skilled' tend to change from time to time especially in MMA.  What I like about the UFC is that it's so dynamic that the belt changes quickly from fighter to fighter.  A good example of this is the light weight belt.  There are lots of good fighters in that division but we have seen no dominance as of now.  Let's see how McGregor matches up with the likes of Ferguson and Khabib.

I don't think so.  Alvarez is done and a non factor now as long as McGregor is concerned.  The fight was a one sided affair and there wasn't even a peep from Alvarez except for the couple of leg kicks thrown in the first round. 

However if the fight was close and came like the McGregor vs Diaz II fight then who knows, Alvarez might be given a shot in a big money fight vs Conor again.  For now, McGregor is going for bigger and better match ups.

Oh for sure.  With everything going very well with Liverpool and their manager, Coutinho will definitely not leave anytime soon.  Klopp can make history with LFC, so it's really, very likely that Coutinho would want to be a part of that.  Clubs like Barca and Real, however big they are, are stale due to their 'big club' status.  It's all about maintaining where they are and making money for them.  There's no challenge anymore which make them uninteresting.

It's showing that it's not about who's in charge as manager at Man United anymore.  Imho, no manager can fix United unless there's a total revamp of the squad.  If they are really serious about being title contenders again then they would have to give Mourinho more than three years to get the club back up to par with the other top clubs in the EPL.  There's clearly something wrong with United itself.

You know I would honestly love to be proven wrong in this case.  But I just don't see it happening.  They will be going up against clubs like Bayern, Dortmund, PSG, Juventus, Real and Barca.  Not even Man City can pull a miracle against them.

But who knows, it's a different format, they might make if somehow.  Just like that year when Chelsea won the CL under Di Matteo.  I kept laughing when Torres scored a goal against Barca of all teams.  

Yeah, that's very understandable.  All players have a dream to become legends and win stuff.  It's what motivates them to practice and work hard everyday for their clubs.  The sad reality is some players tend to be swayed by money.  It's a rare trait to be loyal to a club and stay through the bad times these days.  Steven Gerrard is a good example of a man loyal to his club.

That's a hard proposition and the best they can do in the CL might be to get in up to the quarter finals.  The best thing they can do right now is to concentrate in the League Cup, if they're still in it as I haven't been following it, and the FA Cup.  And maybe at least try to finish in the top 10 in the EPL or maybe get in the Europa League spots would be a good achievement for them this season.  Let's face it, last season was a fluke.

That's a fair assessment.  But imho, he shouldn't leave just yet and give it one more season after this if ever they don't win anything.  Do you remember when Bale left for Real Madrid because Tottenham only finished 5th?  If he hadn't left there was a big chance they would finish top 4 under Andre Villas Boas as the team would still have some stability.  When Bale left, they acquired around 6 new players in and this affected their style and stability on the pitch.  There was just too many new faces in the team and it was like they were trying to find their form all over again.

Not only the fans, but also the board of directors.  If this is still about Man United and Mourinho then I guess their board members will not be that patient.  But I can see Mourinho last three years at United before finally pulling the plug if there's no success seen by that time frame.

We know one board member who's really not happy with what's going on with his beloved club right now, Sir Alex Ferguson.
