However on July 8, it was announced that Johnson pulled out due to an undisclosed injury and the bout was postponed. Reis was expected to remain on the card against promotional newcomer Sean Santella, but a few days later Santella announced the bout was scrapped because the UFC said "he needed to get more medicals done and there wasn't enough time". In turn, Reis will now face Hector Sandoval.

- Claudio Silva was expected to face Siyar Bahadurzada at the event. However on June 16, Silva pulled out due to injury and was replaced by Jorge Masvidal. In turn, Bahadurzada pulled out of the bout on July 12 citing an illness and was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom winner Ross Pearson.

Placed two small bets for fun on Nico and Verstapen on their race match ups vs their teammates.  This should be a good race.

we have for this weekend F1 Hungarian Grand Prix | July 24, 2016 | Hungaroring, Mogyoród, Hungary


Another race will be for mercedes drivers to battle i think
But im hopping for someone else to be victorious in this one

The question is how motivated is Hamilton going in this race with minus one point in the driver's championship?  Very very motivated I reckon.  And how pressured is Rosberg with his teammate breathing on his neck?  Very very pressured for sure.  This will be a good, entertaining qualifying and a good race.  I hope we get a Merc 1 - 2 just to see both drivers battle it out.  But hoping to see Rosberg at P1 because Hamilton at P2 would hopefully make a decent value bet.  Let's see if the bookies oblige.

LOL Man United.  I just read the news and saw the results of their preseason match vs. BVB.  I could accept them losing at maybe 1 - 0 just like Man City vs. Bayern but losing 4 - 1 is just too damn funny. Cheesy

I haven't watched the game yet.  Going to watch the replay later when I get back home.

It's moving right now and poised to breakout barring a surge up in BTC.  If BTC continuous to go sideways/trend slowly down then getting in DGB now could make some profit.  But be wary, its volume is on the lower side but decent.  Be ready for any spikes up.

DGB

Check out DGB on Poloniex.  It looks like it's going to breakout.  Keep in mind this coin's volume is on the lower side, so expect a faster run up.  I will post a chart later.

Xavi and Pirlo has a legend in their country because both players has win world cup trophy and very success in their clubs and there will be different for Carrick because he was never get any trophy for England and i must say that Carrick level still under Xavi and Pirlo


You are stupid it seems pr atleast ignorant to the fact that winning a trophy for your country doesnt mean that you are a legend. Messi hasnt win any trophy for his country and yet he is one of the living legend still playing currently

Everton place £75m tag on Lukaku, Chelsea's interest in Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has forced the Toffees to put a £75 million pricetag on the Belgian striker's head.

£75 millions for lukaku is a good price considering that lukaku is still young and with his stamina , he could play for atleast 10 more years to come and they could even sell him for more if his performance is better in the future, he is a great investment for any team

It's a bit much but this is a good move by Everton as I think they don't want to lose him.  But if a club really wants to sign him, they would have to shell out 75M British Pounds.  Arsene Wenger should take a look.  If he's willing to spend on Higuain, why not get Lukaku instead.
11869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 22, 2016, 02:53:30 AM
I just watched the friendly game between Bayern and Man City.  I wasn't impressed with City.  Or maybe I was just expecting too much because of Pep Guardiola.  But I was actually bored watching the game.  I liked the Liverpool vs Wigan game more.

What a stupid inter milan wanna do, i hear inter is set to make a surprise move for out-of-favor liverpool striker mario balotelli. the italian worked with roberto mancini during their time at manchester city.


as long as Inter does not need to spend much money, so it is OK for them to get Balotelli. Actually he is a good player, but he cant control and manage his own talents. He need to be assisted by a good manager though.

I really think Balotelli has learned his lesson and will do well at Inter this time.  This is his last chance to prove himself and according to Klopp he has been good as of late, but he just doesn't have a place/spot in Liverpool.  But in Inter he's going to be playing every week under Mancini.  Balotelli needs that father figure in Mancini and I think their partnership will be a good one this time around.

So this site got revitalized? Figured Betcoin kinda secured a monopoly on BTC poker. Maybe nitrogen could compete but no one plays the guarentees, just novice players jamming pre flop in the freerolls  Cry

It's really a shame, blockchain tech is the best thing the online poker industry could ever hope for yet rooms still lack big volume!!

On the other hand I think that the BTC sports betting industry is booming!

Yeah, I think so too.  But the thing is with online poker, the traffic is going down on all sites across the board.  It's not just BTC poker.  The poker boom is gone and I don't think it will come back anytime soon.  I think most people thought of it as something like a fad and jumped on the Chris Moneymaker bandwagon trying to follow his footsteps.

Chelsea make Cavani bid
OMG Jose what you do Smiley He will spend for transfers the all money of MU boss Cheesy    

Chelsea have made a €50 million (£41.7m) bid for Edinson Cavani. PSG value the striker at €80m (£66.7m).

Source: Le 10 Sport

Oh i forget, Chelsi not MU, sorry guys  Grin


its like jose mourinho would drain money manchester united with expensive players spending
Pogba one of the coveted at a very high price tag
now want to target Cavani and is certainly a high price
whereas stock striker passable manchester united with her in zlatan ibrahimovic

Mourinho will take the blame, sure.  But it's really Woodward's fault.  The final decision on who to sign is his and it will also go through the board at Old Trafford.  And we know the board listens to Woodward more than Mourinho.  Mourinho is a bit of an outsider at this point and still has to prove himself worthy to stay at Man United.

Inter are set to make a surprise move for out-of-favour Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli. The Italian worked with Roberto Mancini during their time at Manchester City.

I hope this time around he listens to Mancini.  He's the only manager who really tried to help him and cared for him because Mancini believed Balotelli has the talent to become one of the greats.  There was a time his talent was showing at Man City but his attitude was really bad.
11874  Economy / Gambling / Re: Online Poker Challenge: Getting Out of the Micros on: July 21, 2016, 08:37:39 AM
If you want to move up in poker, you have to find a format that interests you, and then grind the shit out of it while studying a ton so that you can grow your skill while you grow your bankroll.

You also have to grind smart, not necessarily hard.  Right now, you're choosing to play in the toughest player pool in the world.  Why?  There's no need, especially in the micros where the goal is just to grind out hands and bank money.

Here's my graph from playing a little on Betcoin last week:



Obv in mB, not $.  Plus another ~300mB in rakeback.  Just for having a table or two up waiting for players while I'm grinding MTTs on other sites.  If you actually commit some real time to it, you can just steady print.

For your hands, they were both played sub-optimally.  The rivered flush is an easy call.  He has so many hands in his range that you crush.  Raising is as bad as folding, though, as he's easily folding every hand that doesn't beat you.  The A9 bluff is bad also, you just aren't representing anything.  4x c/r at some point, 5x and 6x utilize some pot control on the turn or river and don't continue to barrel.  Overbetting is bad because you aren't getting anything to fold that would have called smaller bets.  So if you think bluffing is the best option (it isn't), a 400 chips bet is going to accomplish the same thing as a 1k chip bet.

If you are serious about HU sngs, you should sub to husng.com, it's a very strong resource for that format.

Thanks for the advice.  And nice graph!  That certainly give me some motivation.  I've been really lazy, the motivation I had playing this game is gone.  Maybe that's because I can't consistently win anymore.  Even in the micros.  Meh.

Anyway let me ask you this, do you think this is a call on the river?  It really feels like a call as his line doesn't make sense unless this is a bluff.

The price of the Ethereum is rising at the moment. So the hard fork is quite successful and the funds will be returned.

That remains to be seen.  But if you mean that in a way that there were no technical problems, then yes.  It's good.  But in the longer term it's still arguable what the impact of something like this on the platform.  I guess it will take another serious highly rated project to exploit by the attacker.  Let's see what the founders do then.

All the people, "time to sell your GPU's, the HF is a gameover man! Game over!"

So what happened guize?

It looks like everything is fine for now as everything is business as usual, it looks like.  So what now?  As far as Ethereum's future is concerned who knows.  Maybe start ups pick it up and test and build stuff on the network despite the fork debate or maybe not.  Only time will tell.  There was also a Peter Todd interview where he says Ethereum will not scale and that apps built in the platform will have performance issues as number of transactions go up.
11877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 21, 2016, 02:54:37 AM
I think you need better odds for Arsenal to finish in the top 4.  With Pochettino, Conte, Klopp and even Ranieri going after the top 4 and Arsenal's lack of better striking options over Giruod, they would have a really hard time getting in there this season.  I'm not even mentioning Pep and Mourinho yet and it's already a hard proposal for Arsenal.

Arsenal finished last season in 2nd place despite Tottenham was leading all the time until last week. I don't remember any season Arsenal didn't finish in Top-4, basically they are dominating the league even though they couldn't be champion. I remember 10 times or more they qualified to Champions League in a row and you can't go CL if you are not in Top-4.

So you think Arsenal will breeze through the season and get to top 4 easily making those odds justifiable?  The sportsbooks are exploiting us.  At least look for a better line.  Last year sure, easy top 4 with a weakened Man United and an under performing Chelsea.  This year?  I doubt Arsenal will find it easy.
11878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH hardfork incoming. on: July 21, 2016, 02:35:06 AM
So what are the updates on the fork and how is the Ethereum community coping?  Judging from the price it looks like it's business as usual for now.  I personally am still worried for the platform.  The attacker is still out there looking for his next victim.
11879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 21, 2016, 01:48:56 AM
Well I have decided to back my team Manchester City to win the Premier League @ $3.50 and I put 1.5k on them. I also like Arsenal @ $7.00 but I put them to finish in the top for @ $1.50 and put $500 on it. These odds are from my countries sports book which I'm happy with. So for a 2k outlay I'll get back 6k if they come in for me.

Borussia Dortmund have agreed a €23 million deal with Bayern Munich to re-sign Mario Gotze, who will see his wages slashed from €12m to €8m a season

I wonder how the BVB fans will take this.  He was one of the go to guys in Klopp's BVB and he left searching for greener pastures.  Now he's just some dispensable player from Bayern who's returning because Bayern has no need for him anymore.  I would really understand the fans if they won't be open to welcoming him back.
