Pretty much this.  Gerrard is so loyal to Liverpool that he has rejected big money deals going to Man United and Real Madrid in the past.  I can understand rejecting the Man United offer but rejecting Real?  Lol that's really something.

But then again who knows, he has already shown and proved that he's loyal but he was let go by Liverpool, so maybe in his mind he's free to go wherever he pleases.  If so then I wish he would go to Newcastle.  Watching him play every week at the EPL under Benitez would be such a welcome proposition for the fans.

I guess this applies more to sports betting.  When you invest you always look for a lower price as a bargain to increase your profit and to decrease your loss.  So it's the buy low, sell high mantra that you always hear from the traders and investors around here.  In sports betting, it's almost the same thing when you shop around for good lines.  In one sports book some lines offer higher odds compared to others, so you have room to size your bet a bit smaller and win a slightly higher amount at the same time.  And there's also the instance where you bet and the line moves in favor of you by going lower. It means you got in the bet cheap.  While the reverse makes you in the bet at a bad price.

At least that's how I look at it.

Carles Puyol has been giving his picks for free since April and has run a .5 BTC stake into 2.32 BTC or something around that amount.  That's not a bad feat considering he's been betting only 2% - 5% of his stake everytime.  Yeah I know he could be at the right side of variance, but still, he's winning and that's all that matters.  It also shows that he's been doing something right.

Yup exactly.  Mane turned out to be a good transfer for Liverpool as I remember a lot of people here were skeptical and even outright declared that he will fail.  Now I'm wondering what the football fans here think if the 30m GBP transfer of Mane.  Is it still overpriced or worth every penny?  And has he even reached his potential so far?  I think he's only going to get better and better under Klopp.  He has the likings of a future legend.

That's arguable but the important thing is they are looking to go through and will get promoted next season.  Now we have another elite manager added in the EPL which will make things even more exciting.  I hope either Wenger doesn't retire or he gets replaced by a good and upcoming manager like Thomas Tuchel of Dortmund so that we'll have all these great managers in one league.  I can see NUFC battle for a Europa League place right off the bat right after getting promoted.

Yeah that's the thing.  The equation has changed because BTC is still rising to who knows how high.  So it might be better to hold everything in BTC right now or short sell some altcoins as mentioned in this thread.  REP/BTC is looking more and more ripe for the picking for shorting, I will keep monitoring it and will do an analysis if need me.  GL.

I don't usually watch the international games but wow did England suck.  Leading 2 - 0 for the whole match only to see it go away at the last 3 or so minutes of the match.  What is it with them?  They have a squad of good players and yet they, for lack of a better word, suck.  It hurts to watch it.

I agree with some of what you're saying but blaming Mourinho entirely for United's demise is totally not correct imho.  There's already something with the club on why it has been under-performing since Ferguson left.  As I have said over and over in this thread, what United needs is to suck it up and accept the fact that their era is gone.  From there they can make a total revamp of the team and start from scratch.  It would be easier for a manager to work with a new set of players than working with the sickness of the present one.

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.
