It depends on the manager, the club and if the manager has stayed long enough that the club has already out grown the manager.  :/  With Tuchel, we could agree that his sacking was premature but as for Allegri, how long has he been with Juve?  Prolly around 6 - 7 years?  I think if the club wants to go into a totally new direction with a totally different philosophy then they have no choice but to give their current manager the sack and replace him.

Anyway the most exciting club to follow during the summer is Chelsea.  Let's what kind of players Poch acquires.  I think the first thing he should want is a new keeper.

^  I'm hopeful tbh.  If there's some good money to be made for all people involved then I could see why a cross promotion bout isn't possible.  As a pure fan I'd just like to watch the best fighters go at it.  I really think Ngannou will give Jones his first KO. 

Anyway I found a new site that's gonna be a good replacement for Best Fight Odds...  It's called...  *drum roll* ...  Fight Odds.  Lol.

https://fightodds.io/

But it's really good as they have a tools section.  In there you could do some research and it even suggest which matches to tape study depending on which of the fighter's strengths you wanna look at. 

I think this one's better than the last event on paper but the last event turned out to be a banger with a few matches turning out to be better than expected.  Lol.  I hope this one doesn't disappoint.

Matches to look out for are Lacera vs Blackshear, Santos vs Munoz, Kutateladze vs Mullarkey, Elliott vs Altamirano, the co main and the main event...  And it's another gap week.  :/  No UFC this weekend folks.

Really appreciate those guys who dropped by itt and said thank you.  It feels good to know that I at least helped some of you in some way.  I'll be making more threads like these, aside from the airdrop threads, and hopefully they help many of you guys make the right decisions and make some money off the market at the same time. 

GL on your trades guys.

^  It's not just about those selling the market down as there really are whales who run everybody's stops as a trading strategy.  Some even are the exchanges' market makers themselves that do it.  It's not that their manipulating the market per se but they need to take the market where most likely there's more action and liquidity.  Kinda like how sports betting sites set the odds.  They take it where they think there's likely more action.

But yeah...  It's looking like the market needs to go down before it could go up if that makes any sense.  Not a lot of people are willing to buy at the current range.

I think we should remind ourselves to check the lines on the overs and unders for lopsided matches like Silva vs Leonardo.  Not sure but I think I say it at a decent line at 1.70 - 1.75 or something.

So yeah...  I thought the main event was gonna be boring as hell but man, sometimes these women could show everybody that they could for it better than men do in the cage.  Dern improved a lot.  Can't wait to see her go against somebody like Yan or Namajunas next.

Here's the post fight press conference.

 ^  Meh..  All the 'mathematically stuff' the football journos like to throw out there is just an attempt to keep our attention and get us still interested in the season.  It's pretty clear that City has it in the bag.  The books prolly have City to win the league lined at 1.10 or something...  Maybe less.

The more exciting question is if Guardiola could win City a treble.  In the EPL era, only Man United has ever done it.

^  A cross promotion event is the only chance we see an Ngannou vs Jones match up.  And judging from what the UFC was willing to do with Nunes and Kayla Harris before, it's not outside the realms of possbility that we see a Ngannou vs Jones event happening.  It just needs to make some sense from a business perspective and it really does make a looot of sense.

With Nunes vs Harris...  It was supposed to happen after Nunes vs Pena at UFC 269.  But the huge upset happened with Pena winning the bout.  So the planned cross promotion event was cancelled.

Weigh in results here...  A couple of fighters missed weight and a match became a catch weight bout prolly because both fighters missed weight.  I guess the UFC had to have all the matches as we're gonna have next week off before KKF vs Albazi which is a decent event for a Fight Night.

Mackenzie Dern (115) vs. Angela Hill (114.5)
Anthony Hernandez (186) vs. Edmen Shahbazyan (185.5)
Emily Ducote (119.5) vs. Loopy Godinez (119.5) – 120-pound catchweight bout
Joaquin Buckley (170.5) vs. Andre Fialho (169.5)
Diego Ferreira (154.5) vs. Michael Johnson (155)
Viacheslav Borshchev (154.5) vs. Hayisaer Maheshate (155.5)
Vanessa Demopoulos (117.5)* vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz (115.5)
Orion Cosce (172.5)* vs. Gilbert Urbina (170)
Ilir Latifi (249.5) vs. Rodrigo Nascimento (264.5)
Nick Fiore (154) vs. Chase Hooper (156)
Victoria Leonardo (124.5) vs. Natalia Silva (124.5)
Themba Gorimbo (170) vs. Takashi Sato (170.5)

*Missed weight


I guess but it's just not piquing my interest at the moment.  Maybe as we get closer to their match it starts to get more interesting.  I think Chandler wobbles McGregor and finishes him via GnP.  Chandler has proven himself to be a tough dude after battling it out vs Gaethje.  I don't think McGregor would last the whole 15 minutes.

Edit:  Last call to make your picks in the Multi Master.

For those of you guys who joined Sinbad's BTC price prediction contest...  Just dropping by to tell you guys that it's the last day to make your second prediction.  I've missed doing the second one for a couple of months now.  Lol.  So yeah, don't be like me. It's basically +EV, won't hurt to join.  

SINBAD.IO Mixer May Bitcoin Price Prediction
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5451298.0

Anyway, gonna lock the poll, just 24 votes.  Hopefully more of you guys get in next month.

And I feel like it's sideways til the end of the month but since LSD's started getting bought up again, I think it's gonna lead the way for BTC like it did at the last run during the start of the year.  

Prediction 2:  $28,068.55

Long bottom wicks during May 12, 17 and 18 could be telling us that some whales are trying to protect the 26k - 27k range.  We can't really be sure if they could but if they do, it could bring more bullishness back to the market and force the shorts to be flushed out and close out their trades causing even more positive price action.

The question is how long could 26k - 27k be held?  Pretty sure there are whales who are also taking the other side of the trade.

They are...  But I think at least for now.  As we've seen before, crypto trading is a rotation game a lot of the time.  It went from BTC to ETH to other L1's, to decent alts, to micro caps aka alt szn then it went to the most ridiculous sh*t like memecoins.  After all that it went to NFT's...

Well we've just had our memecoin craze.  So I guess we'll be seeing NFT szn next?  Dunno...  I think maybe but not financial advice.

Here's the thing, there's no guarantee if you win pvp mode in trading, which what trading memecoins mostly is, but what the guide guarantees is you won't get trapped by honey pots.  Honey pots are those ones when you can buy the token but you can't sell the token...  A total scam.  And it sucks because you feel like a dumb mfker. 

Another thing is it's a game of liquidity.  If the developer locked over 90% of liquidity like what I think PEPE did, that at least shows that the token might not be a rug.

In hindsight Adesanya was too small for 205.  Pereira on the other hand could prolly be just right for 205 as he was obviously huge for 185.  He got chin checked by Adesanya prolly because he was dehydrating himself too much due to weight cutting.

And Pereira isn't just a heavy hitter, Błachowicz is kinda chinny imho.  So it'll go down to the wrestling.  Błachowicz has decent TD's, question is if Pereira could defend them.  


Does McGregor still have clout as a UFC fighter?  I feel like there's no interest in him anymore.  

Anyway, just a couple of bets for the event this weekend.  Buckley - Hernandez parlay at 2.07 and an underdog shot at Johnson at 2.25.

Heh yup!  The thing is to treat memecoins for what they are...  Buying in for some amount you're comfortable with and see how it goes, aka gambling.  Lol.  There's really no way to know if they're gonna still be there after a couple of weeks or so.  But as they get more established, that's a different story.  I'm talking more about those new ones that just got listed in places like Uniswap and hasn't seen a day of existence. 

They degen way.

But I think PEPE is slowly establishing itself to be considered somewhat safe to hold for a couple of months assuming you have a good entry.

Damn...  I hope everybody's doing ok over there.  And even if the place isn't in an emergency, if there's going to be a lot of rain, I think it's better not to let the fans waste their time, money and the effort of travelling to the venue just to sit there and get wet with the FIA not allowing the drivers to race.  It happened at Spa I think a couple of years ago and there were also a couple of other races.  Not worth it imho.

Anyway, I guess we're off straight to Monaco.  Verstappen should win it without any shenanigans from Perez.
