Agree with everything you have said inregards to these statements and charts to show as statistics to backup those facts in the F1 industry. It all comes down to the money at times and not the talent. Unfortunately @jakelyson & @owengtam09 Even Steve and I had a conversation about this way back when I started this thread and he even mentioned to me, the owners of those teams in the F1 who are funding them place their sons as drivers on those teams. Do they have the talent or the skill to be on those teams? Hell no, it because they are the offspring of those who put money to build those teams. It is simple as that and nothing will ever change this fact for the F1 money machine. Watched round 2 yesterday of the F1 Academy and sort of enjoyed it but noticed the differences.
Such as their cars are smaller atleast they look like it while on the track. So they are like kart racers.
Also in the academy, once their car is damaged beyond repair they are out of the rest of the competition, since these races are done in succession all in the same day. Their budget would be alot less so repairing the cars to continue competing would be null.
Noticed Garica was the leader once round 2 ended on the standings.
They also made the introduction of the show just like the genuine F1 with the same music and everything.
Nice touch.
They're are using same car that is used in all F4 Regional championship. Between 2019 and 2022 there was W-Series and they used F3 car. W-Series didn't survived, so, I guess using chepaer and more simple F4 car is one of cost saving measuers. For me fact that F1 Academy don't have live broadcast and just provide 15 highlights from races says a lot. It's just not serious. In 2023 even karting race between kids have live broadcasts. Now there is no women who would be close to F1 and I don't see situation changing soon. These who would be good enough would race in F3 and F2, not separate series just for women. There was few competing there, but I can't remember someone who had really good results. Happy if I will be wrong, but now it looks that development driver is max what women can reach now in F1. Watched that one race which took place in Valencia and seen today they were in Austria and the last one was Barcelona. So I only watched the one race for the women's F1 in Spain. But now we have Monaco so back to business! You can see Max Verstappen honing his skills while not on the track via virtual reality in a simulation racing setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3yArt3cxTEJust a couple of hours ago I watched Lando Norris from McLaren playing F1 23 from EA Sports which hasn't been released yet as himself in the game!

@ralle14 I wanted to go with Miami Heat tonight since they could of finished it and be done with the Celtics. But now after reading your predictions I think of going with the player prop bet is the safer way to go. Sportsbet.io had sent out a notification earlier today they will be offering a new feature called Rapid betting:   They label it as an opportunity to have Instant wins while using this feature but when clicking on the link to the feature its not enabled: https://sportsbet.io/sports/rapid-bettingSo think I was a little bit too enthusiastic to try it out and it isn't working yet since it was just released today. So might be available for the F1 Monaco Grand prix which would be well worth to try it out for during livebetting, since they have alot of different markets to place bets on for this sport. |

Heard about Usman wanting to have a match against Khamzat Chimaev yesterday making the rounds around UFC media.
The thing is that Khamzat has been banned from traveling to the United States.
So it would need to be where they have set for it to take place at fight island in Abu Dhabi.
This is the first I had heard of Tyson Fury wanting to fight Jon Jones.
Because honestly, I am not into the whole boxing spectacle it has become and let it go from my crosshairs since the golden age of the sport, When the real Tyson was still in the ring, Iron Mike that is.
Because now you have Jake Paul and the like, it has become just pure nonsense and a circus with him being head clown.
I would take the UFC teaming up with WWE any day of the week compared to what the sport of boxing has become.
Only my opinion so do not take offense to it @YuginKadoya
But that is why I see Fury calling out a recent championed UFC fighter in Jones, to me, just utter showboating at this stage.

The production level from Blast was amazing however the trophy which they presented to the winners was shit.
I like how Vitality ran a similar run to NaVi where they didn't lose a single match in the whole tournament to win the PGL Stockholm 2021.
s1mple couldn't perform the way he can, npl isn't the one. Maybe NaVi should look out for a new member and also hire a Psychologist as their team is running through a difficult phase.
dupreeh is the most special player among all professional CS GO players for me from now on. Because he has won 5 Majors in his career with this one and he is the only player who has made it. Maybe people had many different ideas about his performances so far but they should still respect him about this a lot. True, s1mple is the G.O.A.T. however dupreeh is the most consistent player ever in the history of CS:GO. However, I started playing CS after watching GeT_RiGhT. So him playing in the final show match of the final CS:GO Major was a very romantic scene for me. olof, pasha, JW, flusha, fallen, coldzera are also a piece of history which will forever remain alive in CS. Fallen is on the Imperial Esports squad and Olof from what I remember is announcing for these professional matches now. JW and Flusha are names that are too familiar to the CS scene as well. Coldzera I believe is still playing too but have seen him moving around from team to team recently so hard to pin point on who he will be with from week to week. But yes, Dupreeh had his spot in the limelight during and certainly after this last major tournament has ended. What an era it was for CounterStrike but now we have another to begin very soon with Source 2. Think it will be in November for the team coaches and players to have their summer break. https://escharts.com/upcoming-tournaments/csgo |

New form of tyres from Pirelli which were going to be veiled at Enzo e Dino Ferrari for the Autodromo during the rainy weather.
According to the weather forecast they will allow the teams to try them out on the Circuit de Monaco streets instead.
Regarding those new tires, I think this will be a new addition to the set of tires that every team had and this is good on a wet road to in sure the grip of the tires on corners, this could be a new change of feel for most drivers because some will surely get used to it quickly or some will be having a difficult time using it, the tire manufacturer has developed a new Cinturato Blue full wet tire which does not require tire blankets, here are the Link https://racingnews365.com/how-new-pirelli-tyre-could-add-to-random-factor-at-monacoThank you for pointing these new features out on the tires for all teams to use those new Pirelli's out on the track if necessary. According to The Race on their newest video off their well respected youtube channel, they had mentioned about the warming of the tyres for Red Bull to keep their 1 & 2 consecutive winning streaks alive this race weekend in Casino de Monaco. Why Red Bull's F1 2023 winning streak is at risk in Monaco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkWnM0VFsYEAs you can see from the chart they have only missed this opportunity only in Australia and Azerbaijan during the sprint race:  |

Memecoins, characterized by their humorous and meme-based nature, have gained significant popularity in the cryptocurrency market. However, it is essential to approach these coins with caution, as they are often considered short-term investments with limited long-term sustainability. One should be aware of the potential risks associated with holding on to meme coins for extended periods. Investors who become emotionally attached to meme coins may find themselves in a precarious position. The market for meme coins is highly volatile, and sudden price fluctuations can result in significant losses. It is crucial to keep in mind that the value of meme coins is primarily driven by social media trends and speculative hype, rather than underlying fundamentals.
This thread isnt exclusively about memecoins and how their market was created. It is why Coinbase thought it was a good idea to segregate between their customers of what they choose to use and what authority they will allow them too. They released a commercial which will be one of many they plan on releasing on cable television over the course of the next couple of months. You decide on what propaganda they are pushing on their customers with these and you be the judge for yourself: "Money has come a long way since goats and teeth - And it still has a long way to go. Thankfully, crypto helps moves money forward."  https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1661406372897103873 |

I believe a sweep is contagious. From West to East.
Game 4 tonight at Miami homecourt and they might end this in 4 wins to none so let's put out bets before they announce the Eastern Conference champions.
I mean, Jimmy Butler may force this win so they won't need to go back in Boston and just let the other team go on their way home alone.
Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Most of my "Over" on this series have won so I will try once more and I wish it will hit again.
Over 214.5
Good luck.
Really did think Miami Heat would of swept the Celtics last night but it ended 116-99 after a dismal 3rd and 4th quarter for the home team. Had the -1.5 and over 216.5 points so of course that did not hit. So congratulations to you on being wiser and having that extra basket-ball I.Q to take the 214.5pts as that was the right call. Think I have atleast 10mbtc total wagered during the NBA playoffs so to get a freebet for the promotion. So still have an extra game with the Celtics inorder to get closer to the minimum amount wagered. Today we have a sole match in the EPL with the crowned champions Manchester City against Brighton hove albion. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/premier-league/brighton-hove-albion-v-manchester-city-6461d53476e9d50f67014667Betbuddy says City have won 14 out of their last 15 matches. So the over 2.12x odds for a Manchester City win does look like some what of a lock. |

@slaman29 There has been women who had raced against the men professionally before. One that comes to mind is Danica Patrick. But that was in American open-wheel car racing, nascar & indy car racing. She's the only women announcer on the panel for nbc sports who has raced professionally and can bring her point of view for the F1 every race week. https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/formula-1/news/f1-women-drivers-history-academy/jhbchoem5fgn3xvoj47iuuzu@YuginKadoya @owengtam09 Thanks for posting about the F1 Academy as it did look like an interesting affair in Barcelona. I meant for F1, specifically. I know about Danica, I guess everyone does because the media really put her up. Does anybody know if F1 academy ever promotes their female drivers and if the rules actually allow that? Technically, car is the same, women can drive fast too from my personal experience they drive the riskiest on the road lol Yeah, back in 1976 there was a woman who raced in F1 as the article I attached to my reply has stated. Watched round 2 yesterday of the F1 Academy and sort of enjoyed it but noticed the differences. Such as their cars are smaller atleast they look like it while on the track. So they are like kart racers. Also in the academy, once their car is damaged beyond repair they are out of the rest of the competition, since these races are done in succession all in the same day.

^^ That is why Coinbase does not want pepe coin or another to dictate their own business practices. They are just that, the jokes on the bitcoin blockchain. With these brc-20 ordinals. Some informative insight upon viewing a recent interview at the bitcoin conference in Miami with Udi Wertheimer. He is one of the self proclaimed Taproot Wizards and a bitcoin maximalist which is at the forefront of the group looking to change the minds of fellow maximalists.  Taproot was the upgrade to the blockchain which allowed for ordinals to be integrated into the bitcoin code. Here is their website for a further explanation on what they are looking to accomplish in their goal: https://www.taprootwizards.com |

Boycott Coinbase - LMFAO. These guys should've done that years ago when we were warning people about their shady privacy practices. Hopefully, they both fight each other to death and other exchanges get involved with the brawl too.  None of them will be missed.
Investing in meme coins is not "gambling" - that's an insult to gamblers. It's suicide. Even Doge came back down to earth after its pump. It certainly is a gamble to even put anything into these meme coins - if you can even call this investing that is. Here is a podcast conducted during the total joke of the bitcoin industry last week which does say the exact same thing: Part I: A New Crypto Enemy Emerges (ATB Bitcoin MIAMI Live)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPYiCHWzqcQPart II: Bitcoin MIAMI Live (Robert Kennedy Crypto Mission)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLN9923h-VoLast year was sponsored by Jack Dorsey's Cashapp which was much more extravagant to a point of having a 10-foot volcano on the convention floor to celebrate El Salvador taking bitcoin as legal tender late September 2021. https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-the-bitcoin-2022-conference-in-miami-beachAtleast the bitcoin conference will be moving away from Miami which has had their mayor renounce it's adoption towards BTC recently in the media, to Nashville next year. Will it not be a drain on everybodies hopeium of being a success? Probably not. |

Thanks to @jakelyson for the reminder of the annual BTC pizza day and for Sportsbet.io in remembering the date I am sure many had forgot it fell on that day as I did. But the Legend lives on for the 10,000 bitcoins spent on two pizzas from the restaurant that still has that wooden plaque hanging since 2010 up on the wall.   Note: They were two pepperoni style pizzas so those were from another order since he spent more bitcoin later on that month. Fun Fact: The person who had the bitcoin transferred to them in exchange for the order sold those bitcoins when they increased by a couple of cents per coin. |

Now I see that there is this JDG - T1 series in the semi finals tomorrow. I think it can be one of the most delightful series in the tournament. Because JDG won the latest LPL Spring Playoffs against BLG and their playing style has been quite impressive so far. I don't think T1 can win this by not giving any game to their opponent. But still it would most probably end up with a 3-1 or 3-2 T1 win.
Unfortunately, i'm on the JDG train, and the series felt like it was close to a grand final.  When T1 was up 2-1, I thought we'll see a 3-1 result because whenever JDG lose a 5v5 team fight T1 always sprints it down mid and destroys their base before they can defend. Luckily, T1 had a bad draft in game 4 similar to game 1, then in game 5, it came down to who will make the more costly mistake, and T1 starting a 4v5 fight hoping to get a pick off backfired and cost them the series. Watched abit of the JDG match and they were looking solid but then after returning saw it was 1-1 for BiliBili gaming. But they couldn't save from JDG who had won their first MSI 2023 Championship in League of Legends. Quest is such an underrated team, for those that don't know them. They're formerly known as Ooredoo Thunders. Entity is also a strong team but they've been swept by Quest so easily. And ATF is with the Quest. Team Liquid dropped a map against D1 Hustlers just now, and it's not surprising when they went for a Windranger carry, and I already saw how that went after watching one of OG's games.
The game ended 2-1 but it's still with Team Liquid. Two days from now, two bottom teams OG and Team Secret will have their match. right now and he is in this form for 2 years now and I'm glad to finally see him happy with Quest because he deserves it. Same goes for Sumail who right now , he is leaving his best moments of his Dota 2 careers in DPC China. More than this , DPC China is giving a lesson to PGL Dota in Europa and American because they have setup a LAN event for DPC games and they have a crowd as well. Don't sleep on this guys , because it means Dota 2 China teams will have LAN experience on every game they are playing in DPC right now.  You got that right!  The production level from Blast was amazing however the trophy which they presented to the winners was sh*t.
I like how Vitality ran a similar run to NaVi where they didn't lose a single match in the whole tournament to win the PGL Stockholm 2021.

Paris presentation was spot on for the grand final with the announcers mentioning it was the very last time to witness CS:GO in tournament play every chance they got. We saw several veteran players announcing they were leaving aswell. https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-an-absolute-legend-fans-mourn-as-csgo-goat-kennys-retires-after-an-incredible-year-reign |

Surprising we have Gamerlegion in the finals of this farewell tournament for CS: 1.6 Last time I remember watching them play was earlier in the major against OG. But they must have really sharpened their Counterstrike I.Q since then as they will be facing the home ground favorites in Team Vitality for the title in this major that will be ushering out the old Global Offensive code and heralding in the new with Source 2. Blast.TV Finals can be viewed and markets are available here at the Sportsbet.io Esports hub: https://sportsbet.io/sports/esports-betting |

@owengtam09
Congratulations to you for these two fights were good selections to make on the main card.
I managed to watch the main event and it went the full five rounds with Dern dominating each and every round.
Just surprised she didn't get the submission in the end. But all respect to Hill as she took a tremendous amount of damage and still stood standing at the end.
Over all the card was a good one and should keep the UFC fans expectations fulfilled until June 3 when the next event will be taking place at the Apex with Kara France vs Amir Albazi.
