Ketlen Vieira, Punahele Soriano, and Damon Jackson unfortunately let me down for 16k. Vieira fight was close at least, and could've gone either way, but was probably the right decision. Soriano really struggled, and I should've expected as much considering how much he loads up without having the best of gas tanks. Damon Jackson really struggled against Ige though, and I expected more from him.

Strickland did what I expected, I think a lot of people underestimate his skill, and the decision was at 4.00 which is probably a reaction based on his last two losses, was definitely worth a shot on him. Unfortunately, I only do accumulators. I actually cashed out in the middle of the Vieira fight as I could see she was likely losing. I cashed out for a profit of 30 quid. Nothing to write home about.

Soriano is my pie shitter of the event.  I really thought it was gonna be easy for him and the other guy would be gassing out.  Turned out it was him.  Kopylov could actually be a good fighter with just a bad start in the UFC.  Let's see what's in store for him next...

I had Vieira winning R1 and R3.  I'm not really sure what fight the judges were watching.  Lol.  And as for Strickland va Imavov, the match being at 205 should've been a concern for Imavov.  It was also Imavov's first time to be in a 5 rounder.

Anyway moving on...

^  Yeah sucks.  It's like they were caught sleeping on the wheel.  Lmao.  Anyway, I'm out.  I get no points for the match and I lose my parlay.  I knew draw no bet for United could hit but I didn't pull the trigger.  I know there's a pretty good chance somebody in here went straight up United at 4.10.  His pick in the pool confirms it...  Eh Hhampuz?  Wink  Nice win.

^  Just looking at the stats would make you think City isn't dominating the match but they somewhat are optics wise.  They have most of the ball and they are controlling the tempo well.  It's just they seem a little bit sluggish.  And that damn ref...  Is it just me or is the ref not calling fouls commited by United?  :/

Edit:  0 - 1 City.  Finally. Time for another one then United get one in.  Grin

Edit:  LOOOOOOOLLLL damn.  Went to get a drink at 1 - 1 and it's 2 - 1 when I got back.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
1726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 14, 2023, 01:27:19 PM


Yup.  So bad...  Lol.  And the funny thing is they paid a lot of money to get Felix on loan and see him get a red card in his debut.  Cheesy
Nunez Darwin was also sent off in his debut match, if I recall correctly. Shit happens.

In hindsight the Chelsea brass might have been too harsh in deciding giving Tuchel the sack after like just a couple of losses.  Potter has what rn?  4 losses in the league?  And they've never looked worse.

Are we always going to fire coaches when the players don't perform well? It's time to start firing underperforming players rather than the coach, and it's time to limit the power of the players. and let it be known that the team started declining under Tuchel, he complained about the squad quality as well, but we thought he was joking when he said few players are not qualified to play at this level.

Put Pep in this team and nothing changes; put Messi and Ronaldo in this current Chelsea team and they will struggle.

 

Still doesn't justify Felix's red card in his debut imho.

And yup, I feel you there.  Tuchel shouldn't have been given the sack too early.  He should've been given a huge budget to raid BVB.  Lol.

Anyway...  Anybody watching the Manchester derby?  I feel like there's gonna be some lol moments with Mahrez that could cause United to get one in before City does.  There was already a couple of times when he seems not to be all there and has given up the ball easy or made a wrong pass.

United 1 - 0 isn't really out of order imo.  You just feel it when City plays like how they're playing rn.

^  I wonder why Rodgers hasn't been given the sack yet...  Very unusual in these times.  Grin  I think Leicester could use some new blood and hire Vincent Kompany to manage the club.  I was checking the Championship League and was surprised he's on the helm at Burnley and they're at the top of the league.  Nice to see.  Smiley

Here are my picks for this weekend's Majestic 7.  Get that 10k ready and send it to my right pocket.  Lezzz gooo!

Calvert Lewin
Salah
Tielemans
Hwang
Mbeumo
Joelinton
Havertz

I don't really feel extra good with these picks so maybe it's the one that hits.

~snip
He STARTs!!! I never imagined we'd be this bad and desperate, to the point where a player who arrived less than 78 hours ago is starting for us.

it is a desperate move, but in line with Chelsea scores lately, which puts them as main subject of Troll Football on Twitter
nevertheless, I think that Chelsea is going to win tonight, in a mid-table derby with Fulham

but not sure that Joao is going to have massive role in a win, if that happens

I was surprised to see Felix starting the game because I learnt that he picked up a knock in training or something of such, I'm of the opinion that Joao Felix will slot perfectly into Potter's plans and will be very vital in the coming games, but of course I might be wrong because premier league is completely different from what and the leagues he's been used to.

From the lineup, I think Chelsea's team still looks like the better team on paper, should get a win... I had 2-0 for Chelsea initially, before changing to 2-1 about an hour ago, but now I'm going to to revert back to my 2-0 prediction, Koulibaly and Thiago Silva pairing and Mitrovic absence is the final criteria for my decision.
Yeah guys, don't underestimate how bad this Chelsea side is at the moment. Still only half time and I just watched parts of the game with all the sports playing on the same time (Barca, Snooker Masters, Handball World Cup) but from what I have seen Fulham was much more dangerous. My prediction is 2:2 and I have both to score on my ticket so rooting for the Blues in the second half.

Giving a player that just came to the club a start just shows how bad things are at the moment. You can see from Felix movement and touches with the ball that he is class player, hopefully it will work both for him and and the club.

Yup.  So bad...  Lol.  And the funny thing is they paid a lot of money to get Felix on loan and see him get a red card in his debut.  Cheesy

In hindsight the Chelsea brass might have been too harsh in deciding giving Tuchel the sack after like just a couple of losses.  Potter has what rn?  4 losses in the league?  And they've never looked worse.

Anyway, I'm looking at draw no bet for United at 2.95 vs. City.  Seems value and United has been looking good at home.  City on the other hand could be suffering from player fatigue and sometimes Guardiola can't be trusted with his player selection.  It's almost like he does it on the fly when some idea in his head pops up.  Lol.

Edit:  Have a feeling Hhampuz is taking United at 4.10 or something.

^  Dana White is the president, not the CEO and he already has the back room set in place.  The guy behind the scenes who really makes all the important deals, fighter contracts, concerns with the commissions per state, approves the match making and all the other important stuff is done by Hunter Campbell.  He's the guy.  All the match making stuff are done by Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby.  So yeah, Dana White is mostly an overseer these days and reports to the UFC brass.

But there's one thing nobody can't do what Dana White does best...  Be the face of the company.  Love him or hate him, he does the job well.

What I feel like could really be value is Fullham draw no bet at 2.85 vs a Chesea squad which might have lost its identity.



Most likely that draw no bet should be 1.85 as the odd for Fulham to win is 3.50 or 3.30 in some places so it does not make a lot of sense placing draw no bet at 2.85,




^  I'm looking at the lines at Stake rn.  It's 2.85 for draw no bet and 4.10 to win for Fulham.  I think it was even at 2.95 yesterday.  You can check it out.

https://stake.com/sports/soccer/england/premier-league/43202450-fulham-fc-chelsea-fc

And I think you got it the other way around.  If the other books have Fulham at 3.50 and you find a spot at 4.10 then you should def take the spot if you fancy Fulham to win.  It's extra value.

Anyway, how good is Joao Felix?  Wasn't he signed by Atletico for a ridiculous amount?  And if so, why is he loaned out to Chelsea?  :/

^  The 4 year cycle could still be intact but really now we should start becoming more aware that it could also be starting to break apart.  The signs are there.  Just check the much touted rainbow chart.  Lol..  BTC right now is also trading below the last all time high.  That's something that hasn't happened before.  And if it so happens that BTC closes with another red yearly candle for 2023, having two red yearly candles back to back is also a first.  But if it closes the year with a green candle then the party prolly continues.  If not, there's prolly some sort of reset or something to start a new trend...  Dunno.
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 12, 2023, 12:36:45 PM
^  Wtf.  Lol...  But it wasn't really just a B squad.  It was a B+ squad.  Grin  And it's prolly the hectic schedule of fixtures during the cold of winter taking its toll on the team.  They went against Chelsea twice then Southampton all in a span of a week.  I wonder what the line was for Southampton.

But yeah, Guardiola had to cos City is going against United this weekend.  I wonder how the schedule is going to take its toll in this match.  United at 4.20 could be value.

What I feel like could really be value is Fullham draw no bet at 2.85 vs a Chesea squad which might have lost its identity.

Edit:  Is Joao Felix gonna play?

Big blow and loss for MMA is news that Khabib stopping with all his coaching activity this year to spend more time with his family Sad

Hard to believe he completely quits sport. I think he will keep on training with same guys. He will be like his father, after ending fighting career, coaching entire life. I cant imagine him becoming a businessman, running, company, production, sitting in the office. I think he will always be in fighting. As a manager, promotor.

Spending time with family is great, but he has already told that he will send his son to wrestling section Cheesy When the interviewer asked if he has found already a proper coach, he has said that he will train him. Doubt that he will train him just to be fit and NOT becoming a worlds champion.

^  Lol yup.  He'll prolly leave it to his son if he wants to compete professionally in MMA.  In some of Khabib's interviews, he said that it wasn't totally his decision when he competed in MMA professionally.  It was mostly because of his dad.  So go figure.

Anyway as for the last minute change for the match up...  I kinda like it.  And it's a good opportunity for Imavov to show that he belongs.  Not sure if he gets to enter top 5 at 185 tho as it's going to be in 205.  All in all, I think the UFC should just give him the rank.

Well thanks to John Foss' newsletter here is the tech info for Seraphis:

https://gist.github.com/UkoeHB/f508a6ad973fbf85195403057e87449e

And for Jamtis... the new addressing scheme:

https://gist.github.com/tevador/50160d160d24cfc6c52ae02eb3d17024

These are mammoth consensus changes in my opinion.  Monero has always had a somewhat progressive approach to consensus level changes.

I am not technical enough to know what the risks are (and I am pretty technical).  But I can see well enough that this stuff is going to introduce a lot of possibility of risk.

I am not trying to FUD by any means.. and the Monero community has ALWAYS had an environment welcoming dubious opinion.  So I am stating a firsh blush opinion that I hope the right amount of caution is being taken in introducing these changes.

I think it would be naive to assume that there are not powerful, smart, actors that would love to change monero in a way that would cause it to have a chink in it's armor.  

How do we know that consensus changes of this level are not exactly that?

Here's something I wondering about...  First just to let you guys know, I haven't been reading a whole lot of info about XMR in Reddit and Twitter for more around 4 years now, my Twitter account is now exclusively following some guys doing MMA prediction stuff and I've unfollowed everybody in crypto.  

The only guy I tag or ping in crypto is Fluffy and that's just in tweets that are related to helping dogs.

Anyway, the thing I'm wondering about is if Fluffy supports the changes or not...  

Is he saying anything right now, I wonder..?

I feel the same as cAPSLOCK, I haven't seen a proper conversation over what the changes will mean and who exactly thinks what.  Fluffy's thoughts would be welcome but I understand why he is not around to say his piece.  

Back in the day there was a lot of chatter and devs would drop by - I always felt pretty reassured.  Now it's just 'fingers crossed' it will be OK.   Price is looking sweet enough, XMR is easily outdoing the likes of LTC and other coins with a decent rep and respected history.  We just have to hope we're being looked after by safe hands.

Happy New Year to everyone, let's hope it's a good one for Monero.

No, I haven't heard much from him on things about or related to Monero or crypto.  I stopped following him in Twitter tho or any of those crypto guys I used to follow.  I just want to have fun again and stop taking this stuff seriously.  Everybody is mostly here for number go up anyway.

But after Fluffy getting caught and held in a US prison I would be a bit uneasy if he becomes vocal about supporting any important changes out of the blue.  Not saying TPTB got to him or anything, just saying...  XMR is the last bastion of hope in crypto imho.  Devs can't afford to fk this up.

Some rumors about Mercedes.
The car of the next year should follow the car they used the past year.

Their unique car will be used again so they are not copying Ferrari or RBR either.

Do you think is a good idea?

No idea...  Grin  I guess if it's fast, good idea.  If it's slow against Red Bull and Ferrari, def a bad idea.  Cheesy

But who knows, their engineers know better than we do for sure.  So overall it's prolly a good idea at the time when they decided to go for the no side pods design.  But then again, it's all about finishing on the podium.  I guess we'll just have to see.

Any rumors on Binotto and where he'll go next?
1736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 11, 2023, 02:21:33 PM
"Here We Go"

Reported from Fabrizio Romano about João Félix have reached verbal agreement and move to Chelsea with loan option and earn €11m all amount pay or converted by Chelsea. I think good option and agreement deal reach both team between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea due João Félix have contract left until 2027.
Good news for Chelsea fans as Joao Felix arrives at Stamford Bridge. I think the arrival of Felix is their attempt to fill the gap in the squad due to injuries to some of their players like Raheem Sterling, Cristian Pulisic and Aubameyang.




Nice!  He was quite the prospect back then but why hasn't he really reached his full potential under Simeone and would it be different under Graham Potter?  I feel like this signing could be more for the commercial value, aka shirt and jersey sales, than for giving real value to the squad.  Dunno... 

And how is he gonna be used?  As a winger, forward or an attacking midfielder?  Chelsea needs a little more depth in the midfield as a few of their guys are injured.
1737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 11, 2023, 02:11:34 PM
Shame about the injury, and I don't think Strickland will have much luck as the replacement. I expect Imavov to win this. Gives him a good chance to actually jump a few in the rankings also. I'm also fancying Damon Jackson against Dan Ige. He's tough, and won't give up. Does leave himself open at times though that could definitely be a problem against Ige. Early feelings is; Soriano takes it against Kopylov, but I imagine it'll be a tough fight for both fighters. Soriano doesn't have a lot of volume, and will be looking for the finish.

Other than that, my other early leans are Vieira, Nurmagomedov, and Cachoeeira.

It's closer that what most of the fans expect.  I think the lines give an accurate view of each fighter's value in this match up.  Remember, it's gonna be at 205..  And you know me when I try to look at these guys' match ups, I know Strickland lost a couple matches straight but look at those guys he lost to.  One is just became the current champ at 185 and the other one is a middle weight beast.  No shame in losing to both fighters.  The pick is still Imavov but he's way down in my lottery ticket.  It's a big test for him.

Free fight vid.  Enjoy.

Hopefully it's like that and maybe in the future there will be even more good projects,
we must continue to see the progress of these projects,
the success or failure of a project certainly cannot be separated from the team and let's see what will happen later.

1000x happening on a project's token def doesn't depend on whether the progress of the project is good or if the team is good or if the project itself is really great.  It all depends on if the project has a dog logo, if the project has a low enough market cap, and if it's fairly new.  I think a coin or a token will get a better chance to hit 1000x if it was issued after 2021. 

If it's a new coin accumulated during the lull of the bear market, chances are distribution of the said coin will be during the bull market.  And if it's not 1000x, fine...  But you know you'll win some anyway. 
1740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 10, 2023, 02:17:45 PM
Upcoming UFC event Imavov vs Gastelum should be interesting to watch, and I don't mean just main event.
Starting from prelims we can see Sijara Eubanks and Priscila Cachoeira, and I would starting watching early.
There is Umar Nurmagomedov with his perfect 15-0 record against Raoni Barcelos, and I think we are going to see a lot of early fight finishes.
I am not sure about main event outcome yet but odds on Nassourdine Imavov are not bad at all.

Depends on which Gastelum are we getting this coming weekend.  If somehow he found the fountain of youth and comes out fighting like he did vs Adesanya, he'd easily be a 2 to 1 favorite imho.  But as we know it's most likely not gonna be the Gastelum of old coming out, I guess 1.50 for Imavov is ok.  I wouldn't bet it tho...  I prolly would starting around 1.70.  Grin  And yes, I know it's too much to ask.  But I think that's a fair price if in case Gastelum of old does show up.

Anyway here's the Multi Master.  Enjoy...
