DASH/BTC:  Short Signal Confirmed?



Signals to short sell Dash gets stronger and stronger everyday, I wish I was brave enough to act on the trade the minute I first saw it.  But now is a good time as ever to make a short sell as it doesn't look like it might going up anytime soon.  We'll see some spikes from time to time but that would usually be a desperate attempt by some traders to make something happen.


WAVES/BTC:  Breaking Out or Accumulation?



I've been getting a couple of pm's asking if I have something that would advice to go long.  Well here it is, Waves.  I have no idea exactly what's going on with the platform but somebody or some group is loving this one.  Notice the small spikes in volume, that all might be from the same buyer/group of buyers accumulating and supporting it.  The neon green horizontal line is the resistance.  We just saw it break but it went back down.  That could mean a couple of things:  1) That it could be the start of a break out, or 2) It's not.  

But continue following the price movements, or better yet accumulate some for yourself but set a stop loss just in case it goes the other direction.  Good luck.

I would rather see Rooney go and be sold to another club.  What Man United needs is a good holding midfielder to partner with Pogba.  Pogba is very aggressive and offensive minded, I think Blind was played as a holding midfielder before at Ajax and has flourished in the position. So why not place him there when Luke Shaw gets back from injury.

The reason why Rousey tried to box with Holm and stay toe to toe with her was to pressure Holm and then for Rousey to get her in the clinch as that's her strong point.  This didn't work because Holm already knew Rousey's game plan.  

Rousey has already overused the strategy and also Holm exposed holes in Rousey's striking game.  So vs Nunes I don't know how she can dominate her opponent.  This match is really closer than we all think with Nunes only a slight underdog.

I don't think City played that bad at all.  They dominated the game in possession, passing and shots.  But they just couldn't finish for some reason.  It's just variance and one of those days that you can't get anything to happen for your team despite the fact that you played well.  Another example of this is the Man United game vs Stoke.

Is anyone watching the games live on TV this afternoon?  De Bruyne is back!  But no Aguero at the starting line up.  Iheanacho is starting instead, I wonder what Pep has in mind this time.  And the man to watch at Everton is Gueye.  He's really good but very underrated.


We bet for the same team this weekend.  But I made a bet on AH Crystal Palace to win 0, -0.5 at slightly lower odds.  The payout may be smaller but I have the chance to get a half of my bet back if the game ends in a draw which is quite possible.  It helps with reducing variance.

I like Conte's back three.  Azpilicueta is performing really great this afternoon with recovering the ball well.  And Kante too, I never really thought that he was really influential in Leicester's squad until I've watched their games without him.  But Danny Drinkwater seems to be doing a decent job too.

Actually if Pep is serious about winning the CL he should get a player that could take De Bruyne's spot.  Thinking about it more De Bruyne's current for is making him almost essential to be on every match.  But that would be impossible as we have recently seen.

Could Gundongan be trained and possibly take De Bruyne's spot in the future if De Bruyne is injured?  Or maybe acquire someone else this January, I could imagine the fatigue of the teams by that time.  But who should Pep acquire?

Equal chance?  You mean all match ups have a 50/50 chance for winning for each team?  Then it would make total sense to bet on all the underdogs week in and week out.  But of course we all know what you're saying is entirely false.  The bookies set those lines for a good reason.  It's really hard to fathom that a squad of Hull will have a 50/50 chamce to win vs a quality squad like Man City at any given time.

Yeah that's odd.  But maybe when Force India announces who the replacement is it will then all make sense.  I want to see Pascal Wehrlein get that drive just to see what he can do in a decently better car year in year our in the grid.  He'll be consistently getting a spot in Q3 every qualifying I'm sure. 

It is quite easy to pick a big favorite in sportsbetting.  But keep in mind that the odds given by the bookies matter a lot too.  So if you bet money on a bad line then you are actually losing money in the long run.  Meaning the amount you get when you win the bet is not worth losing the money you made your bet with. 

I used to think that I was good at playing poker.     Well maybe I was relative to the player pool of 10 - 15 years ago.  But a lot of people have caught on to the strategies used to play decent, efficient poker.  So relative to the player pool today, I'm a breakeven slightly losing player.  But I do still play from time to time for fun.  I also like gambling in sports that I like and I do a little gambling in altcoin trading too. 

Yeah been watching it but I'm staying away from it.  It's too choppy for my taste as I like smoother charts and low volatility when getting in.  And then when a coin breaks out and volatility increases, your orders are already filled.  That's the idea at least.

But STR (or XLM) does look like it's being accumulated atm.  If you really want to get in and hold long term then buy the dips I guess.  Good luck.

I actually thought he was going to Man United this season.  I think he'll fit right in the club but Smalling and Blind will have to lose their starting places for him.  Smalling might even be sold. 

It's -182 on Rousey and +160 on Nunes at Nitrogen.  I think this fight is closer to 50/50 than most would think so those odds are good value for Nunes.  And it would he advisable to wait until fight night to make a bet on her because a lot of people will go for Rousey thereby improving Nunes' line.

Yup Swansea is no good this season.  They are very unstable and have changed managers 4 times since Brendan Rodgers left.  Imo they should have tried to keep Laudrap.  He was a decent manager, Gary Monk was another one they should have given more chances.  Under their new manager, Bradley, I'm not expecting much.  But who knows he might surprise everyone.

Another week of market prices plummeting.  But hey at least we have some shorting opportunities and earn some profit.  Please visit my speculation thread here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1622909.0

You got it all wrong.  McGregor is all confidence.  I mean look at all his fights after he won the FW title from Aldo.  He fought Diaz twice outside his own division.  Remember that WW is two divisions up.  Now he's putting everything on the line in UFC 205.  His reputation and his career are on the line here and that's a huge risk.  I'd say the guy has the ego and more confidence than all of the UFC fighters combined.  And keep in mind that taking this fight is a liability to him since he had only a short time to rest since the last fight vs Diaz.

That's because Leicester overperformed last year and most of the top clubs underperformed in that same season.  It's funny that a lot of people thought Leicester will start becoming a part of the EPL elite after last season.  Sorry to say this but I think when they won the league last year it was only a fluke.  It would take a lot of years, decades even, before we see them become the champion again.

Do you honestly think that?  Because it would be better for McGregor to KO Alvarez as early as possible.  If it reaches the third round that's when Alvarez can start grinding McGregor down and make him wrestle for his life.  

I think someone mentioned that McGregor shouldn't have taken this fight because his body has not rejuvenated fully from the fight vs Diaz.  This could be another case of overconfidence by him just like the first fight vs Diaz.  We all know what happened to that.

Then again if she wins, it would be the biggest victory of her life and get her status back as the UFC's most popular fighter.  Well with McGregor around they would be the two most popular fighters.  It's a big risk for her, but a risk worth taking.
