@boltz & @emrecemsan
It seems that Lewis Hamilton loves and strive in these conditions because it was a really good run from him in the sprint qualifying. Looks like the rain woke up some of the drivers including him:
https://racingnews365.com/hamilton-i-came-alive-once-rain-hit-china-sprint-shootout

Wasn't sure if to call it a sprint shootout or not as some sportsbooks still have it labeled as this on their sites.
But they did change it to qualifying instead for this year and since China is the first track of the season to see this new format we will see it for a few more tracks so to get use to it.

Enjoy the specials, ralle14. Not moving out of my region anytime in future I think I'm stuck here my whole life unless I win jackpot lol

Anyway, I'm still feeling sad from Barca. We were on such a good run and lost in the worst possible way, at home.

City special looks good, I'm on Real though. La Liga teams only have them as the last representative.
That Araujo foul was unnecessary and lost them the game; if he had let the guy through (score or not), Barcelona would still be leading the aggregate with 11 men on the pitch.

That one mistake has cost them a spot in the 2025 CL tournament. Atletico Madrid took the remaining slot.

We saw a BTS and a goal feast yesterday; what are your expectations for today's games? Over2.5 or BTS for both games.
Doesn't this year for the tournament seem there are more fouls causing the presentation of a red card?
Think there has been a sending off of either a coach on the sidelines or for a side trying to get through.

@slaman29 Liking Real Madrid chances this year to take it all too!

Enjoy the specials, ralle14. Not moving out of my region anytime in future I think I'm stuck here my whole life unless I win jackpot lol
Thanks for the nice words, hopefully, they could extend it back to you guys so I wouldn't be the only one pounding these specials.

The Man City special unexpectedly fell short after Real Madrid held on to a draw in regular time. At least one of my BTTS bets won, i'm never trusting Arsenal again on the road. I knew they'd have an underwhelming performance and I still went for it like an idiot.

I had lose more than I choose to say when relying on Arsenal in the EPL and for this Champions league, so glad they are out now actually so know not to trust them to come through either.

So Who do you see getting out of the quarter-finals?
I would like to see a Real Madrid vs PSG Champions League finals for the first of next month.

Sprint qualifying just ended and it was a fight in the rain since the very start.
Hamilton was looking like he was going to be taking pole position but then Norris came up clutch to take it away from him in the end.
All cars including Verstappen were unsteady in every turn and slipping and sliding all over the track.

Even if he held enough Doge coin his most favorite to all of cryptos he would well in profit since it has surged a fair amount since the recent bull run and even had a large buy from somebody yesterday. Many doubt to be Musk but you never know.
Once again there has been talks swirling that his company X will be making a major announcement in the coming days. So could this finally be a payments system being the central piece for a cryptocurrency? Or just to be some stupid thing called X-coins?

Back to our race schedule for the coming weekend this time on the Shanghai International Circuit for the Lenovo Chinese Grand Prix!

https://sportsbet.io/sports/formula-1/formula-1/chinese-grand-prix-2024-race/matches

Yes, it is time for some action again! Sprint race and qualifying are on the same day which makes me feel different. There are only 3 hours between the sessions however it will be nice to see performance changes in 2 sessions by short time gaps - except Verstappen though as he would probably be dominant in both sessions.

Mercedes drivers couldn't make a good start at all you know. I'm wondering if we will see some improvements finally by the 5th race in the season. On the other hand Sainz is 3-0 ahead against Leclerc so far. Do you expect that this would be the race for Leclerc to finally finish ahead of him?
This will be the first time these drivers would have seen this track since back in 2019 due to lockdown of the region. So don't know really what to expect.
Yes it will be the first time for this new sprint format and the first for the 2024 season:
China will also stage the first sprint of 2024, and the format for this year has been tweaked.
The shootout for the sprint will now take place on Friday afternoon after a single practice session earlier in the day.
The sprint itself will be held on Saturday morning, with the main qualifying for the grand prix following later in the day.

Think this was discussed more during his recent interview with MMAFightingonSBN the Monday after the fight:
Arman Tsarukyan Explains Why He Passed Up Islam Makhachev Title Shot After UFC 300 | The MMA Hour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXM2x2fcWzs

From what others who were there said the guy actually started running away so Arman's blow never really landed. Even if the fan sued you don't think the UFC has enough money to hire the best lawyer and if they wanted to counter sue him for anything they want to at that point? Disruption of the event for one of the main fighters on while walking up to the octagon?
Why should this be allowed in an sport? If nothing is done then fans will continue to think they can do this at any UFC event and there won't be any repercussions. So put a stop to it now before it gets out of hand where fans are straight out tackling fighters on their walk out before even getting into the octagon to start their fight.

Anyways, back to the fighters and their interviews after they had some days to rest and clear their heads from the biggest event in the UFC history books.
And since there is no fight night event this weekend let move on to that.

My predictions for this week's BSFL are fucked, but i'm glad I avoided yesterday's special because who would've expected that red card to come in the first half and heavily punish Barcelona.

On the other hand, my BTTS bets cashed on both matches, the odds aren't that high, but i'll take it if it works. I'll likely do the same for the other matches.




The next special might be a hammer bet, as I can't imagine Man City scoring only one goal, and Real Madrid will definitely at least score one back.


Thats exactly when Barcelona started to lose the match right after receiving that red card. They scored and were up 1-0 but then PSG scored an equalizer just before the half. Then it imploded from there for the Spanish side. They committed quite alot of fouls which made it even easier for the Parisians to take this match from them being up 3-2 on aggregate before the match started.

As for today's matches I am more interested in the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich one to be honest.
I will go for BTTS with a win for the gunners to advance to the semifinals.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: April 17, 2024, 09:38:26 AM
Congratulations on that win!

Moicano In Bitcoin! Nice! I listened to his interview and I think he is trying to make a point about not being paid totally. I don't understand what is that all about but I think he experienced something before where he was not paid after the fight. Or is it just about the bonus because the fight earlier than them will receive it instead of them? I was actually confused as I thought every winner would receive it, but it will be a lot of money so I think he should do consolation for the other fights.

Jalin Turner made a big mistake there. He was too arrogant and did not finish the fight correctly. I bet that will be a lesson learned for him and maybe for every fighter who is trying to use a walk-off win. You cannot just do that before the referee stops the fight.
Thanks but it was only one of my many bets I had placed for the night which I don't usually put in singles for UFC but as you had mentioned in your post announcing UFC 300 was on with the challenge, this card was difficult to determine who was going to win their fights.
So you basically had to go with your guy instinct and stick to it til the fights start.
Well that is how I approached this card with all the high profile fighters that are heavy hitters.
My other big win on the night was Kayla Harrison and Alex Pereira and Diego Lopes.

As for anyone who kept up with how the bonus structure was going to work, Dana said the $300k bonuses were designated across the preliminary cards and the main card: One bonus per each.
This are all well deserved bonuses from this fight card.
Prochazka bonus was for his amazing comeback, he was losing the fight but he went for all or nothing and won the bonus.
I saw later one video showing him training on treadmill with weights in his hands punching, this is very hard to perform.
I want to see rematch with Rakic, but he is going to ask for title fight first.
For the bonuses they can be viewed from the UFC website as those are official as I am not spokesperson for Dana White and knows what is in his head at all times.
So as any responsible grown-up person would do - Fact check for yourself! Best advice anybody can give.
Because as daddy Dana has said "Don't believe everything you read on the internet KIDS!" Tongue
https://www.ufc.com/news/bonus-coverage-2024-performance-fight-of-the-night

Here is a clip of what I watched when he said how the bonuses for UFC 300 were going to be split up between the fighters based on their performances:

Dana White Releases SECRET BONUSES for 4 Additional UFC 300 Fighters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lghnc4ULWrA
We can only go by what he has stated as what really it is unless you are witness in the room while they are being paid, who the hell knows really.
All that I know is that I had seen videos of how much each of the fighters on this UFC card makes for their salaries and that is straight from the fighters themselves and not from the CEO of the UFC telling the public what he wants you to know.
There is a difference unless you don't live in the real world and believing what your told as fact.
I reiterate, do your own fact checking nobody is going to spoon feed you here.

I'm also betting on the same teams (Lakers and Warriors), it's unusual to see the Lakers as a slight underdog, and i'd rather take them to win than bet against them. The Pelicans almost have an even record at home so there's little to no home advantage if you look at it the other way.

Plus, the experience of these two teams is a big factor that could easily decide who gets to qualify since we've seen inexperienced teams crumble in these crucial moments.


I took the Lakers at slightly better odds @1.98x and it was mostly this the better part of the day when I checked the lines closer to tip-off.
Difference is slight but matters when placing bigger sized bet it looks better with that lil bit extra sprinkled on top. Makes that win all that much sweeter too.
The tide did turn as the above user mentioned when Zion Williamson had his 40 points highest on the season and pulled up after the basket asking to be taken out of the game in the last minutes of the game.
He ended up in the locker room and under evaluation last I heard.

Also took the Sacramento Kings over the Golden State Warriors last night and it was a blow out game.
Where Klay didn't have any points and went 0 for 10 while on the court for 32 minutes.

This is especially unheard of by a player such as him in a game with such gravitas to put it lightly.

Very surprising Chelsea can win with big margins while yesterday there were so many upsets happen.
It's caused by cold palmer is on fire. He is now having same goals as haaland did. Palmer can still get a golden boat as long as he will always be consistently scoring in the upcoming games. It is also possible to surpass manchester united soon.

Despite Palmer perform very well, I'm not happy to see his unsportsmanlike, he force himself to take penalty since it should be Madueke. Referee whispering when Madueke fell, not when Palmer fell. Palmer also pushed Jackson away, Chelsea need to give punishment to Palmer in order to control his ego, if not he will become Mbappe v2.0
The penalty gave palmer a chance to get quattrick against everton. It's caused by the last player who scored 4 goals in chelsea was lampard and this is also happening last decade. I think that medueke shall also understand it consider that he needs only to make sure the main mission for the club will be achieved.
I think palmer's price will be also increasing drastically since his performance is getting even more impressive.

Chelsea has recorded 10 goal attempts and 6 of these are successfully scored by the blues. There have been some improvements compared to the when chelsea faced the toffees in the first leg.
Im quite happy with the result but it's not yet enough.
When he was stepping up to take the penalty I was thinking the same thing.
How many goals is he away from Haaland who you hear every week watching the EPL about how he will take the throphy this year.
Quadtrick? Hadn't known that's an actual term til you just mentioned it. Cheesy

It was funny how they were fighting on who was going to take that penalty also free kicks. Him or several other players.

Renato Moicano to me was the shocker of the night were Turner had him laid out but just turned away and with that a possible $300k in the bank. I had also won grabbing him @3.25x odds for my best win of the whole entire night which also helped!

As for anyone who kept up with how the bonus structure was going to work, Dana said the $300k bonuses were designated across the preliminary cards and the main card: One bonus per each.
Then obviously the last for the fight of the night.


Of course in Dana White fashion, changed it as was explained during the post-fight presser for anyone who watched it in it's entirety.

source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2024/04/14/ufc-300-results-bonus-winners-after-historic-event/?sh=3b08ca7e6f1e

But it seems what Moicano has to say is getting all the attention as per his expressive post fight interviews in the octagon would seem to suggest.

https://twitter.com/sfliberty/status/1779338461255749648

Money Mociano also wants to get paid in BTC for his bonus which he wasn't getting the whole $300k as mentioned during the post-fight presser:

Who would've thought all home favorites (Liverpool, West Ham, and Arsenal) lost earlier today?  The limited resting time probably affected their performance since they also played in the Champions League and Europa League.

After a quick look at today's special, we could get a freebie on Chelsea since it'll be the Chelsea vs Everton match. With Chelsea scoring at least 2-3 goals per match, they could easily land both the match-winner and
team total over 1.5 goals.

All those home teams had it rough over the weekend and being the heavy favorites too while dropping points.
Had bets on Liverpool and Arsenal but they couldn't score a single goal. Shameless really.

Also took Chelsea yesterday and had a feeling they were going to have way more goals than just 1.5 goals.

Even managed to get the Chelsea win & over 4.5 goals market @5.40x and it cashed nicely out aswell! Cool

Weird, I don't see the special above at all, guess it was during America morning time? Have to say it does seem really tempting. Everton fighting down below the whole season even though they say it's unfair with points deduction, they would still be in bottom half without the deductions.

Chelsea is seesaw. Lose then win then lose or draw, this is the story of last six games, they didn't win last one so I guess it's time for a win now.
For sure no specials. I checked yesterday less than 15 hours ago, and then again just earlier about 5 hours ago, so in between is window of 10 hours which is midnight to morning time in Europe anyway, so I doubt I missed anything in that period.

And now still nothing, wish I could take that special since I'm all for Barca winning this game, but also the upcoming El Clasico.
As I had explained previously when arallmuus was discussing he couldn't view any of sportsbet specials shown here by ralle14, it was a regional issue causing this.
As Steve had mentioned to me they hadn't been available for months now while certain regions where still seeing them such as ralle14 is in that very region.
Checking the link below shows up blank for me and probably for you aswell if we are in those regions where they don't display:

Agree with you when it comes betting on the F1, when available to watch how the drivers feel on the track and also a preview on how their cars perform driving out on the surface first before making any decisions on your selections are key.

Pity for the promotion for this race you can't bet on Max Verstappen to qualify.
Just goes to show you how dominate he really is when even the bookmakers can see a big advantage when placing bets on him.

Wow! Still trying to process what occurred in the fights last night.
It did live up to being an amazing fight card from start to finish and with the announcement every fight fan has been waiting for:

The MAC is BACK! 🇮🇪 | Conor McGregor Career Marathon | UFC 303
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMjJNQrGz_Y

The first shock of the night was how Jalin Turner did a walk off KO but didn't know the fight was still going on because the referee didn't stop it.
He walked away from the potential first $300k bonus with that vital error on his part as Renato explains in his post fight interview:
Renato Moicano On Jailin Turner’s Walk-Off KO: 'Joke's On Him' | UFC 300 | MMA Fighting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ixMDARYss

Dana White tells that fight of the night was the BMF fight and both Max Holloway gets the $600k (of course divided out from the $300k x 4 bonuses proposed during the pre-fight press conference equaling out to $1.2 million paid out - Holloway taking $600k for the performance of the night & fight of the night while Prochazka received his from the prelims as per discussed during the press conference https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-dana-white-confirms-big-change-in-ufc-300-bonus-for-max-holloway-after-justin-gaethjes-devastating-ko ) .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ixMDARYss
Where he is given a piece of paper with the Conor McGregor fight date in June and announces it right there to applause finally we have the card and other fights on that same main card.

Nobody noticed Casper Ruud beat Novak Djokovic at this tournament yet?

Was shocked because in old Novak fashion drops the first set and instantly takes the second being up 4-1.
Then I switched it off saying to myself, here we go again!
But when I checked the score found out he lost to the Norwegian player.

While watching his match yesterday against De Minaur, noticed he was out of breath in the second set and nearly to the brink of collapse. But managed to pull through it to take the set.
If it went to the third and final set for this match, I don't think he would of made it through and probably would of had to retire even if he didn't want to.
Somebody in the tennis chatroom I was in said he was talking some nonsensical things in the interview after the match. This I didn't hear but from the sound of it he was probably babbling on from heat exhaustion.

My deduction would be he was not in full health for this match against Casper thus dropping the final set to be out of the Monte-Carlo Masters in Monaco.
