Hey guys, time to focus on the next event and share some notes from a betting perspective.  Wink And that's all that's all that should matter imho.  Well...  That and watching these guys throw leather.  So yeah...  

And here's a couple of vids to watch.  I'm thinking Stickland isn't ready to face a guy like Cannonier after getting KO'd just a couple of months ago.

Brazil Fan Token launched by the Brazilian government and the Brazilian football federation
BTF Token cryptocurrency is a national fan of Brazilian football. It dropped 50% in a few hours and about 60% in 24 hours after losing against Croatia at the FIFA World Cup in penalty shootout.

The Brazilian government and football federation launched the Brazil Fan Token on August 25, 2021. The token offers an exclusive experience for investors and sports fans around the world.

Read more at: https://trynews.id/brazil-fan-token-turun-60-setelah-kalah-dari-croatia/


Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Edit:  Come to think of it, buying these fan tokens could be the safer bet than making your bets on the matches themselves esp with how unpredictable the World Cup can be as shown by Croatia and Morocco.  I bet if they had they're fan tokens, they'd be going through the roof after their wins at the quarter finals.  Lol.

Imagine betting 100 bucks on Brazil and losing it all vs buying 100 bucks worth of fan tokens.  With fan tokens it could either be an easy 3x win or losing just 50%.  Not a bad deal imho.

^  Depends.  They could also be in another transition period with their new team principal and possibly new chief technical officer if the Ferrari F1 brass decides to kick Binotto out which I don't think they will do.  There could be other teams that'll love to hire him and get more advantage for his talents as an engineer.

Remember, Binotto was also one of the engineers who helped built the winning cars of Michael Schmacher at Ferrari.  I'll say it again, it would be a huge mistake for Ferrari to get rid of him.

I think Croatia might have more of a chance than what the lines are showing us.  I see Croatia ML at 5 in some books, sometimes bit more but it's kinda risky.  I fancy Croatia but as a tad safer value bet, what do you guys think of Croatia double chance and both teams to score combo at 3.70?  

And in the other semi final, what does everybody think of France win to nil at 2.17?  Good bet or will Morocco continue to surprise everybody again.  :/

It is difficult to guess, especially such complex bets. I am attracted to a simple bet on France to win with odds of 1.53. I think you will agree that before the start of the World Cup, such a bet would look like free money. It's funny that a double chance for France or a draw comes with only 1.08 odds - there's no point in risking an 8% profit.

Yeah I know.  It's just from what we've been seeing with Croatia in the tourney, it seems like the books have been giving them less credit than what they can really do on the pitch.  This is just imho, but I think Croatia's midfield has been playing a tad better than Argentina's midfield.  I'm expecting an outcome something like what happened vs Brazil.

So yeah..  Croatia double chance and BTTS combo at 3.07.  It's prolly less odds now as some money is coming in for Croatia.  I wonder what the likes of igehhh thinks or Trofo and Hhampuz.

Not a bad roster for a Fight Night to end the year for the UFC.  It's gonna be around three weeks - almost a month before the next event.  I'm excited to make another lottery ticket after winning three from 182.  At lesst I have a little bit of money to bet around here and the World Cup semis.  Smiley

Match ups I'm looking forward to are Nurmagomedov vs Kakhramonov which should be in the main card imho, Kape vs Dvorak, Tsarukyan vs Ismagulov and the main event.  This event also looks more parlayable...  So hope I can win some again.

Here are the fixtures for the semi-finals:



Many neutrals would have put down current world champions France to make another semi-final but how many at the beginning of the tournament would have guessed Morocco would be flying the flag for the African continent becoming the first African nation to make it to a world cup semi-final or that Croatia would be here again alongside Argentina?

Not many people would have got all four teams correct  Grin

I think Croatia might have more of a chance than what the lines are showing us.  I see Croatia ML at 5 in some books, sometimes bit more but it's kinda risky.  I fancy Croatia but as a tad safer value bet, what do you guys think of Croatia double chance and both teams to score combo at 3.70?

Imho, instead of giving Ankalaev vs Blachowicz a split draw, judges should have given Paddy vs Gordon a split draw, if the wanted to save Paddys clear record so badly.

Someone might say, that this was another "anti Russian judgement", and judges have robbed Ankalaev similar to Petr Jan. But for me Blachowicz won that fight. For me it is 3-2 for Blachowicz. He took first 3 rounds, but lost 5th round badly due to lack of activity or stamina. That is why one of the judges gave 8-9 for 5th round. If it was 9-9, than Jan would won with 1 point advantage.

One of the reasons why we have a split draw and no champ. 2 days ago I have watch an interview with Dana. He spoke about Prochazka injury. He said, that shoulder injury is not as bad as he thought. It might not need 6 months to recover. That is why there is still a chance to see Prochazka vs Texeira second title fight.

I think Gordon and Ankalaev won their matches.  The event was surprisingly good for what it was until the seeing how co main and the main event turned out.

Anyway, here are the results:  https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/92214-ufc-282

All matches ended with a finish except for the final two.

And I'm a bit happy I made a little bit of BTC's as I've won my top three tickets.  Smiley  I hope to continue winning some at the next event.  It's going to be the last one for the year and the next one will be on Jan 14.

Brazil is sus.  Not enough pressing when they don't have the ball costed them.  Croatia is all about pressing in packs, isolating whoever had the ball.

Anyway, penalty shout out!!!  I want Croatia to go through the semis!  Rodrygo missed his penalty.  Cheesy  

Edit:  Croatia has yet to miss any of their pens.  LFG Croatiaaa!

CROATIA GOES THROUUUGGGGHHHHHH LOL BRAZIIIILLL LOOOOOLLLL!

Man, another semifinal for Croatia, damn it, no one saw this coming, tbh I was really surprised how they were able to hold the ball more than the Brazilians, the moment Kovasic and Modric took the midfield I knew the brazil would be in trouble to penetrate so they opted out for long ball in the second half which did not help more as the Croatia were so solid and gave Vini a minimum space through the game But I was still confident that the Brazilians would win as they usually do, and when Neymar scored that late goal, I was like YES YES that's what the samba boys do. I had no idea that Croatia had another -plan for them. It was a beautiful game, and the MOTM could have gone to Croatia's goalkeeper. I'm not sure who else they gave it to, but he's the only reason they're in the semi-finals

Time for Messi to shock the world with hattrick or brace tonight.

Against Brazil I'd have to agree.  Prolly some people saw it could happen but not with a lot of conviction.  I kinda started thinking it could happen around the 60th minute seeing how Brazil wasn't pressing enough like their life depended on it.  It was Croatia that pressed and pressed in packs they did nullifying Brazil.

And yeah, Neymar's late goal kinda made me hopeful that my parlay is still live.  I needed another one for the over 1.5 goals combo.  But no...  +.5 for Netherlands hit and if Portugal wins and it's BTTS for France vs England then Brazil is my pie shitter.  Lol.  On to the semis.

Paddy Pimblet has been acting a bit cringe for me recently. Him and Dana were embarrassingly sucking each other off on his podcast and he was using McGregor lines at the press conference. I think this fight is probably going to be his biggest challenge yet and if he loses it it'll derail the hype train massively.
I'm sure they will make that title fight happen then. Probably Molly and Paddy fighting again as well.
Yeah, unfortunately it does seem like we've got a fighter trying to hard to be someone they aren't. I like Paddy, but he's much more tolerable on non fighting interviews, and podcasts. He seems pretty humble outside of the UFC, but obviously when it comes to the UFC he's trying so hard to be the next big thing; like Mcgregor. Obviously, Dana realises the potential, and is running with it.

Although, I must say this match up is a risky one from Dana, I think Gordon is underestimated by a lot of fans.

Dana is desperate for him to be the next McGregor as his time is nearly up if it isn't already so the UFC needs another superstar that grabs the headlines. The thing is, Paddy doesn't need to do this as he already gets numbers so he should just continue being himself. Dana has shown the numbers/views he gets on social media and it dwarfs most other fighters so there's no need to follow the Connor blueprint. I don't even mind him doing that if he's original but he was literally using Connor's lines almost verbatim which was cringe as was him licking Dana's arse at every opportunity.

I don't think the UFC will ever find another break through super star as huge as McGregor...  Not in a long time at least.  They tried with a few guys but it turned out to be cringe or the fighter turned out to really wasn't that good in the cage.  That's why I appreciate what the likes of Covington is doing...  He knows it's all for the lulz and he knows that we know it's fake and he does it anyway to annoy everybody.  Lol.  A lot of these guys who do it to look cool will turn out cringey and will never do it like McGregor did.  I'm talking about McGregor before he became cringey himself.  Lolol.

Here are the weigh ins...  Enjoy.

It can be said that December is better than November, although November has touched $ 22k, but if we look at the daily transaction trends that occurred in December, we deserve to be optimistic that the December is the beginning of the bull run, maybe before April 2023 the price has already been touch $ 30k.

Is it really the beginning of the bull run tho?  I could see the logic for saying that we could be at the bottom or near it but the beginning of a new bull market?  Nah.  Usually we see a lot of side ways action and a lot of people start to get bored and sell their bags instead of slowly buying bit by bit  and have a decent bag before the next bull run.

Anyway, the poll is close 9 votes says we have hit bottom and with 12 expecting another sell down.  There could be a sell down but as I've been saying, it might not be that huge.
1877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Sentiment Poll for December on: December 09, 2022, 04:03:11 PM
Ethereum can still stay above $1k until the end of the year and right now, this seems like a test for ethereum can really hold on and even increase bit by bit. Ethereum could rise again and if it now looks like ethereum is following bitcoin it is because bitcoin itself is surviving the downturn that could happen. But if bitcoin weakens and eventually declines, ethereum will surely experience the same thing. We still have a few weeks to see if ethereum holds onto $1k or drops below $1k. Let's just hope that doesn't happen.

True.  All of crypto just follows what BTC is doing but with higher price volatility.  That's why a lot of folks make a lot more money holding alts than holding everything in BTC.  Like DOGE which out performed BTC by a lot.  Many of you guys who started buying DOGE at the lows around .00000015 prolly made bank if you sold the highs around .00001250.  That's like almost a 100x move in BTC. 

It's even more if counted in fiat as BTC  made a 20x move up of it's own.  Lots of friendly shibes got rich and I think the same formula will work again at the next bull market.  It's all meme all around.

Just turning on my stream to see how my investment is doing starting with Croatia vs Brazil.  And it's not really looking good right now at nil - nil.  Lol.

As a parlay I got...

Brazil to win and over 1.5 goals combo
Netherlands +.5
Portugal to win
BTTS for England vs France

Total odds of 8.15.  Brazil has to score a couple of goals to keep the parlay alive and so I'll continue and watch the next match between Netherlands and Argentina or go do something else if they lose.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I heard.  Lol.  As I said, they need to sell UFC 182 PPV's as the original main event was scrapped and we get Blachowicz vs Ankalaev.  Not really that enticing for a main event imho.

I'm watching the pre fight press conference right now.  You guys can watch it with me and see all the cringe.  Grin

UFC 182:  Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN9D1QNUEaU

I'm looking forward to two match ups tho.  Mitchell vs Topuria and Curtis vs Buckley.

Edit:  Pimblett and Topuria having a little back and forth.  I forgot they had some beef from a while ago.  Lmao.  I miss stuff like this.

Edit:  It was a fun press conference.  Now I feel like Ponz will be my pie shitter.  :/

If you guys really want Ankalaev it could be good to wait til R2 ends and bet for him live.  Def don't take the chalk with where the line is at 1.35.
I don't know any crypto gambling website that accepts live betting on UFC and other MMA fights, but maybe you know something that I don't know.
After asking many times I got an answer from few websites that this needs a lot of extra work and they are not ready for that change right now.

I am excited to watch Bryce Mitchell vs Ilia Topuria, both of this guys have perfect MMA score so far and of them will have to spoil it this weekend.
This are my main predictions for UFC 282 that can be played in some combo, Magomed Ankalaev, Paddy Pimblett and Alex Morono all to win.


Stake has live betting for the UFC.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: December 08, 2022, 04:15:13 PM

I am not really that excited, about the main event feels like I already know what may happen but I am more excited about the co-main event I want to see how Pimblett going to win over Jared Gordon, well I will be posting my predictions and picks for that fight on the UFC thread provided by tokeweed,


Yeah, you are right.
The Pimblett fight is way more entertaining.. It's not that Blachowicz or Ankalaev are bad fighters, but Paddy the BADDY simply polarizes. He is not the typical ufc fighter. Cheesy
I see an early win for Pimblett here.

Heh yeah.  It's why the UFC made him vs Gordon the co main event, two unranked fighters, instead of Bryce Mitchell vs Ilia Topuria who are both ranked within the top 15. 

But with 182's roster not really looking that good and with the new main event really really not looking that good, the UFC had to put somebody like McGregor near the top of the list to draw the crowd in as Blachowicz or Ankalaev are surely not gonna do it.
