Here is the result for my yesterday's bet, Well not a good one but not also the bad one because of the Disadvantage of the odds Warriors won and I have taken a lot of profit from it,

Indiana Pacers VS New York Knicks SCORE 106 - 109 - WIN

This is a close match it started in favor of the Knicks but the Pacers luckily snuck a lead in the 3rd quarter the New York Knicks have turned the tables back again, it was a great game to watch, this time thanks to Julius Randle's double-double of 14 rebounds and 25 points and Michell Robinson's double-double of 13 rebounds and 10 points, RJ Barrett's 24 points and Jalen Brunson winning 30 points that the game was so close,

Toronto Raptors VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 110 - 126 - WIN

This is what I am saying even though they don't have Stephen Curry there are guys that would likely step up in his absence and just like that from start to finish they just seem that the Toronto Raptors is just like an easy team this season, Kevon Looney got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 11 points, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green both got 17 points and Green is stepping up with his play, and the big gun tonight was Jordan Poole with 43 Big points,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 150 - 126 - LOST

From the start, the Chicago Bulls are doing just fine until the 3rd quarter when they can not take the lead anymore, Nathan Knight a new player that I am seeing for the Timberwolves, got 16 points, D'Angelo Russell got 28 points while main man Anthony Edwards got a double-double of 11 assist and 37 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Washington Wizards SCORE 119 - 117 - LOST

It was a rough night for the Wizard because the Lakers sealed them the only lead they got was at the end of the 3rd quarter but again I really didn't expect that the Lakers would win without Anthony Davis by their side, it was a winning dunk from Thomas Bryant that finish the game from the former team he got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 16 points, Lonnie Walker IV got 21 points and Lebron James a massive 33 points winning the game,

It looks like Butler doesn't want to be left behind, after the beatings he received from Inoue, it looks like Butler is asking for more.  I watched some clips on youtube[1] and it stated Butler planned to leave his weight division and possibly will go up in weight division.  So Butler planned to mix it up again against Inoue, and Casimero if ever he goes up in weight division. 

While Casimero after his fight against Akaho is now ranked 3rd by boxingrec.com. So it is possible to have a title fight for Casimero soon.





[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFOXs8yuQNg

It seems that the brawl that John Riel Casimero brought to Akaho was pretty much effective and has gotten praise from many who watch this is really a bad image to Ryo Akaho, the referee, and the promoter of the event for Akaho he was now dubbed as the best acting boxer and needs praises to his acting performance, and the Promoters to their bias judgment in their fellow Japanese boxers, that is why even though John Riel Casimero didn't get the belt I think another title shot has given to him so expect a great fight again in his stead,



We will have a long break from boxing because of the holiday season, I think that there will be fights that I have missed but I think the not-so-well-known fight is really not worth watching anyway but what I am after was the fight between Gervonta Davis vs. Hector Luis Garcia but surely I am for Gervonta Davis on this for sure the odds will surely pour into Gervonta as well, for me Ryan Garcia will be the best match for him but if Ryan Garcia's cherry-picked fight was for the preparation for Davis then  there is a high possibility that this is a hand-picked fight,

I missed the event, I've missed a lot of them this year. Hopefully, get to watch a little more next year. Anyway, what was the event like? I saw some highlights of the fights I was interested in, but it seems it was a rather messy affair in some of those fights?

Said showed a lot of weaknesses in the highlights I saw. Maybe, hype derailed a little? Strickland always talks a big game, but he's so timid in the cage. It's almost like he's a cat pawing out with that jab at times. Obviously, scores him points, but it doesn't really go with his pre fight words.

I understand that this was the last event of the year too, so I guess we'll be seeing each other in the new year. I haven't checked the dates yet.

Well you may have missed some of the fights this near end of the year but next year will be juicier, and I wish you will not missed the Champion VS Champion event of the UFC, and a chance for Alexander Volkanovski to get the Lightweight Championship and I think it will have a juicier first for us in that event,

who's Said? is it Said Nurmagomedov or Saidyokub Kakhramonov? but if Said Nurmagomedov, his 1st guillotine is not successful with the 2nd attempt in round 2 it was very crucial to Saidyokub Kakhramonov that he did not know what happen, it was pretty fast that he is not aware of it,

well next event will be next year on January 14, 2023, and it will be the UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Gastelum but for me, the real main event will be the Geoff Neal VS Shavkat Rakhmonov, fight and Umar Nurmagomedov VS Raoni Barcelos will be quite a fight that I am anticipating to see,

For Filipino boxing fans, we have another one who might end up fighter for one of the belt that Inoue will vacated. His name is Vincent Astrolabio.

He won against Nikolai Potapov in the sixth round of their IBF bantamweight elimination.

Quote
The 25-year-old Astrolabio’s victory over Potapov made him the IBF’s mandatory challenger for undefeated, fully unified bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs). Potapov entered the ring ranked third among the IBF’s 118-pound contenders, three spots atop Astrolabio.

https://www.boxingscene.com/vincent-astrolabio-drops-potapov-three-times-stops-him-sixth--171252

So will face  Emmanuel Rodriguez for the IBF bantamweight belt next.

An 18 wins 3 losses Filipino boxer I really think his record is not bad and really promising, with 13 KOs in his record that is surely a lot of KO wins, he also defeated Guillermo Rigondeaux where Rigondeaux is down in round 8, for me he doesn't have any bad record and much promising maybe a high chance in getting a belt, but I will leave that on my another verdict when I already watched his highlights because even though I am a Filipino I really don't know him at all, his name doesn't ring a bell at all,


It's interesting that Vincent Astrolabio had promised Manny Pacquiao before the fight that he would give Pacquiao a knockout to Nikolai Potapov as a gift for Pacquiao's 44th birthday, he fulfilled his promise by managing to knock out Nikolai Potapov over Emmanuel Rodriguez in the 6th round to fight Vincent Astrolabio, it will be a very interesting fight, I believe that Vincent Astrolabio can win this fight, I'll wait for more information about the fight, then I'll do analysis and on the day of the fight I'll see who I'll bet on

If there was a boxing match today, I would have bet, I would have made a world cup match multibet, an NBA match and a boxing match, I would have made a good profit, but whatever. for today I can only bet on the world cup and NBA games

Actually, I was really late when it comes to Filipino boxers still haven't watched some video of his fight but maybe I will give my assessment of him in some of my posts next time, will be very eyes wide open to Vincent Astrolabio this time and will search for some training regime, of his, maybe there are some stream,

It will the problem of WNBA, she should not get back without clearance first. Clear from any illegal substance in her body and they have to make sure she won't be going back to that. Perhaps, they could provide a clause that will say about forfeiting the contract if ever she does it again.

Good Idea! though I know there are many fans that want her to play in next year's season I think she needs to get cleared first, well it is a sure privileged to be free while you have committed something illegal in another country and even though it is Legal in the US, athletes should really avoid the used of drugs, it is not really a good role model for the new generations, and for this issue, I think not only Brittney Griner but with the list of players in the WNBA to be positive of drug abuse so a certain incident like this will not be repeated,


Let's hope they will, just to be fair with other players because I think there are also people who are not happy just like you.
Also, just to make it clear that this should not happen again or be repeated by either her or other players just because their country will protect them.

Well, I am not actually happy I thought that they will let her finish her sentence on Russian soil which is not really that long, and because of her foolish actions Viktor Bout a prison swap exchange for her freedom, an arms dealer is now free and can roam Russian soil aswell, but I am not saying that Viktor Bout is evil incarnate (strong word) I think that his actions were just illegal and fairly enough trading Griner with Bout if you balanced their case Viktor Bout has a way bigger crime than Griner, but surely it all ends up to this but like you I wish it will not happen again,

And WNBA's return schedule will be next year, Saturday, May 20, 2023, so Brittney Griner has plenty of time to fix her issues, and clear her system of drugs,

I think that the Charlotte bet was a mistake. Since Bogdan Bogdanovic returned to the field after his injury he is doing apsolute amazing things and now Atlanta looks better then ever with both Trae Young and Bogdanovic. Charlotte didnt stand a chance against Atlanta and i think Atlanta will start producing lots of wins in the future.

Yup! it was really a mistake trusting the Charlotte Hornets with this game for sure if the Atlanta Hawks still have Trae Young along with Bogdan Bogdanovic, maybe it was because of the recent win of the Orlando Magic that I think the Hornets could also take their chance against the Hawks, surely Trae Young doesn't really like that kind of thinking of the bookies, so he surely exploded with this game,


My bets won.

@YuginKadoya @jakelyson @danherbias07 congratulations guys.


I'm checking the games tonight, I will share my picks as soon as possible.

Good thing for you but unfortunately I didn't make a bet for today's game, but no worries I will just get my bet for tomorrow's game,



My picks for the game tomorrow

Indiana Pacers VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.91 for the Pacers and 1.94 for the Knicks, this could be a close game but right now Kendall Brown, and Daniel This can not play for the Pacers, and Chris Duarte is questionable if he is going to play for the Pacers, while Obi Toppin can not play for the Knicks, for this game I really like the Pacers but the Knicks can sometimes surprise you, for me, I will be going with the New York Knicks as I have said they could sometimes surprise us,

Toronto Raptors VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.46 for the Raptors and 2.80 for the Warriors, right now Precious Achiuwa, OG Anunoby, Otto Porter Jr., and Ron Harper Jr. can not play for the Raptors tomorrow, while Gary Trent Jr. is questionable, while Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins can not play for the Warriors and Draymond Green and Klay Thompson is questionable if they can play, right now the Warriors is needing their 2nd seed players to stand up on their own, for this game, this is a good chance to really prove what their worth for me this could be close but I will go with the Warriors,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 2.06 for the Timberwolves and 1.80 for the Bulls, right now Karl-Anthony Towns, Taurean Prince, and Jordan McLaughlin can not play for the Timberwolves, while D'Angelo Russell and Rudy Gobert are questionable if they can play for the team, while Lonzo Ball, is the only player that can not play for the Bulls, and Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte Green is questionable if they can play, so I will be getting my bet for the Chicago Bulls,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Lakers and 2.60 for the Wizards, right now Juan Toscano-Anderson, Wenyen Gabriel, and Anthony Davis can not play for the Lakers where are Anthony David and Wenyen Gabriel may be able to play, while Cole Swider is questionable if they can play, while Delon Wright is the only one that can not play for the Wizards while Rui Hachimura and Bradley Beal is questionable if they can still play, for this game I will be going with the Wizards

Here is what happens with the UFC Vegas 66 fight and the results of my picks

Jared Cannonier VS Sean Strickland ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Surely even though the judges have scored much for Cannonier it was really not dominating for Jared Cannonier there are rounds in which Sean Strickland got the better of him or could have won those rounds, but again the judges have tried to score the fight a little close on those close matches, but surely the good thing about Jared Cannonier here he is listening to his corners, when they say to go to the body Cannonier would go to the body, he is surely listening carefully on his corner, while Sean Strickland is not really listening, he kind of just doing what he like towards the fight and for me even though there are rounds that likely a win for Strickland it will still end on Jared Cannonier winning again,

Arman Tsarukyan VS Damir Ismagulov ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Damir Ismagulov had great striking but man Arman Tsarukyan has made a great impression with his striking aswell, but again those takedowns from Arman Tsarukyan were phenomenal and he nearly choked Ismagulov, and Damir Ismagulov surely is feeling the pressure in battling Tsarukyan, every angle of the fight Tsarukyan really won the fight,

Said Nurmagomedov VS Saidyokub Kakhramonov  ROUND 2 SUBMISSION - WIN

I haven't made a pick about this and prediction but I have bet on this fight for Nurmagomedov, and now Said Nurmagomedov is dominating the whole fight guillotine by guillotine he is always pressuring Kakhramonov is every angle of the fight in every direction you would look at the fight it is all pertaining to the Submission win of Said Nurmagomedov, and it is not new that he wins in the same fashion because he is carrying the Nurmagomedov's names,




1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 18, 2022, 11:09:16 AM
Jist saying my knicks with 6 in a row.  Back to back wins on the road against Chicago.  Their defense has been amazing once thibs has changed to this 9 man rotation.  Quentin grimes taking over the starting sg position has changed the complex of this team.  They might not be championship level but at least they are fun to watch now.  Looking forward to this next month to see which direction they go.

They are mighty with defense with Mitchell Robinson on their side, now he is averaging 1.9 total blocks for this season, and I think pretty much with that kind of rebounds had some additional defense for the team, well they are still not champion material but they did well with the Chicago Bulls and stopping most of the Bulls players in making any progress if this continues they might take 76ers position, in the eastern standings, but for now the 76ers also is a formidable team that need to take on aswell,


You're right. Davis is a fragile guy, considering he can be injured every time he makes a bad move. So let's hope he won't miss more than a couple of games because of another injury. As for Westbrook's performance this game, he really surprised the Lakers fans. By the way, the funny fact is that it was only his second triple-double this season, and he did the first one just a couple of games ago.

For me, if Westbrick keeps on targeting triple-doubles it will not be enough, for me, I think do not target a triple-double but a huge output on scoring, like he recently have against the Nuggets it was an impressive triple-double but he needs to do more, and right now Anthony Davis has a foot injury that may cause some losing game for the Lakers but if Russell Westbrick would keep up his triple-double target it will not be enough I think he needs to do more on the scoring because Anthony Davis may return on December 19,

Here to update about Britney Griner's custody in Russia. She is now back and dunking again.
Quote
Fresh off her elated return to the US after months in Russian custody, two-time Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner is back on a basketball court.
Quote
Griner’s first move on a Texas basketball court Sunday was a dunk, her agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, told CNN on Monday.
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/12/us/brittney-griner-us-arrival-monday/index.html
Big news for all the WNBA fans.
I saw this just recently when Candace Parker was doing the commentator job for TNT yesterday in Los Angeles.
The look on Candace Parker's face is a combined happiness and relief. For now, Griner is under psychological tests and I think it will take months before she recovers from the impact of being detained on another country's soil.

The big question for Griner though now that she is home, what's next? It's still unclear if she will go back to WNBA or if it will mean retirement and trying a new job.

Many Fans will be glad about this news but why am I not the only one that is happy, well maybe she got an offense that she needed to take responsibility for it, a case that is not settled yet, for me her arrest was not some political agenda but it is what it is and on the Russian country she needs to take responsibility for her action and illegal drugs is really not legal in Russian soil,

I really think she is great at bullying Shaquille O'Neal when she was on TNT and it is a great idea in getting her back to be a substitute for absent commentators, I really think she is happy in what she is doing and for her to be this great I think when she retired from playing she got a career for her, while I think Brittney Griner will return to the ball for the Phoenix Mercury, she said that when she gets back home she will surely play this season,


Nice news but I will directly go to the possibility that he will come back and play before that retirement, still young and he can add
spice to the league, so better bring that excitement to all her fans.

We might see her back wearing a WNBA uniform, not sure what will be her setup but I still
believe that she missed the game and after that psychological test, she and her agent
will decide what will be the plan next.

Well she surely will be back to ball but maybe after that assessment on the psychological test, but for me, I think she needs to get rehab for using illegal drugs instead of getting that psychological test, in my opinion, the WNBA needs to have her a penalty in using it in Russian soil, even though it is legal in the US it doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants in a different country,

Getting a new keeper was good for bayern. livakovic is having bigger potential for bayern as a replacement for neuer. The injury that happened with neuer already forced bayern to did a fast step for bayern to get a new keeper. Livakovic play so well with the croatia during the world cup. I think that bayern shall consider him as the best choice rather than morocco's keeper. Bayern needs to get a new quality keeper as soon as possible caused by it must also be trained before the match of champion league to come next year.
Livakovic has become the best choice for now that may be picked by bayern in january. Bayern will try to make fast step to get him as a new keeper.

I really think it is all just talks and Bayern Munich is still discussing the fact that Dominik Livakovic can be signed on to the team, but I see no official possibilities if they would really get him for the team because there are also talks that Yann Sommer from Dortmund is also discussed to be targeted by Bayern Munich as well, but for now, it is all just rumors if they will truly get Dominik Livakovic or Yann Sommer until there is no further information of official sign in the contract that both teams would accept the sell or trade this will still be a rumor, but I wish they could get one or good if they can get both Goalkeeper,


The problem with Bundesliga is that no team is actually competitive against Bayern Munich. And right now the way Bayern Munich is playing in the Bundesliga, I don’t think two or three teams are going to be enough to compete against them. The league will have to improve significantly to compete with Bayern Munich.

But I don’t think that is going to happen in the recent future at least. And that is why the Bundesliga is also not going to be competitive in the recent future as well. It will take a long time before any other club emerges as the competitor of Bayern Munich in this league. Or the other way is Bayern Munich will have to degrade significantly. That is also not happening.


Duke Khan

For now, there isn't but let's wait for the coming play if this long rest has proven a good rest for the other team, and did you see the list of injuries Bayern Munich has now not only Manuel Neuer that will definitely miss many games because his expected return will be on June 30, 2023, Marcel Sabitzer also has proven that he is also a vital player for the team, that has a yellow card suspension and may return on February 23, 2023, and Sadio Mane and right now there is no further information on when he will return for Bayern Munich or if he can compete for the world cup as Senegal's forward, right now it is a big problem because Both Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane is a tandem Bayern Munich fans love to watch, and for Senegal that really needs Mane to be there, So if there is no given date for Sadio Mane's return it will always be a crucial game for Bayern Munich,

1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 18, 2022, 01:13:46 AM
Yes I do agree with @YuginKadoya - this boxers doesn't want to admit that they are hurt but you can see at the face and reaction of Butler when he is hit by Naoya, he circle and then trying to avoid the punches and then grimace in pain from body and head punch by Inoue.

And obviously, if Inoue goes up, then there will be a vacuum left in the 118 lbs and if Nonito still want to fight and be a world champion again then he can still go for the last time to become a champion until he retires.

Although before Nonito says he will go down to 115 lbs and probably now that we seen who won between Estrada and Chocolatito, he might go for Juan Estrada, but let's see.

That time when you don't want to accept that you are losing so much and don't want anybody to see your real reaction to your pain I think this is what happen to Paul Butler he was on the verge of giving up but surely the sense of keeping his pride intact in not showing it still goes on even though he was knockout the pride and pursue to not giving up you can really see in the 11th round, so I really salute him in hanging on until he can not anymore,

I think Nonito Donaire is now getting the strength to push through I think he really needs the courage to be built before he can ever face Naoya Inoue again, so going below the Bantamweight is the thing he can think of, while Naoya Inoue is not pursuing the Super Bantamweight for him if he can dominate if

The thing is when Juan Francisco Estrada won that fight Nonito Donaire was watching and was invited in getting inside the ring aswell, and when the fight was over and Juan Francisco Estrada won the fight I think he will go and challenged Estrada but the security had him go down the ring that security was really disrespectful to Nonito Donaire in my opinion,


Ok, I remember now, yes, I read that he wants to target the winner of Roman Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada, just the question if he can make 115 lbs because Nonito is a tall fighter for that weight division and he is not getting any younger so it might affect his body if he go that low.

But if he targets his natural weight class which is bantamweight, then this could be a good decision for him since Inoue has left this division already.

Could be challenge, but I think he could beat the majority of rank fighters here if not beaten by him already.


I agree his age is not getting younger anymore and getting down the division might be a hard time for him, but let's wait and see, because I think he got an entire plan with this upcoming division shift and some fighter when going down division are getting much more have the advantage because they have experience with the heavy gun in the upper division, in the previous Juan Francisco Estrada VS Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez fight and sadly to say Nonito Donaire was just disrespected by security, knowing that it was Nonito Donaire and was invited inside the ring,

1972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 17, 2022, 11:39:04 PM

There is no doubt in my mind that Frankfurt have done a terrific job in the German League so far, and I'm quite impressed with their performances. It is very unlikely that they will be able to climb into the top-four position after almost half of the season is over.

As a matter of fact, I was not expecting them to even be in the top six position. Despite this, they have redeemed themselves and they have done exceptionally well. They have scored 32 goals in only 15 matches, which is a huge amount considering they've only played 15 matches. My opinion is that what they really need to improve on is their defense, since they have conceded 24 goals, which is quite a bit in my opinion. It really is my hope that they will be able to finish in the top four and finish the season on a high.

Indeed they need to get players that have a sole purpose on defense which means they will sacrifice their offense to give way on defense, but most of the time players would surely want the limelight on them and make it big by getting some goal,

for me Frankfurt is not a bad team, they are now more decent than the last season, and actually offensive wise they got something that other teams should be afraid of they have enhanced their offense since last season, and pretty much they are lucky with the departure of both Halland and Lewandowski in the Bundesliga for me they surely now have a chance in snatching the championship from Bayern Munich, or even landed on the 2nd standing of the Bundesliga,


As far as I know club income from TV rights is significant only in the Premier League. Therefore, Frankfurt would be happy to remain in their current position only because 4th place provides a direct ticket to the Champions League where the club's income is significant. But it will be difficult for them to hold this position as Dortmund are behind, plus Union Berlin will probably get back in business and play well again.

The 4th standing of the Bundesliga is very good enough in my opinion because they could surely enter the UEFA Championship League, but surely Union Berlin and Dortmund will keep on buzzing in for some payback for me, there is likely little chance for these two teams to move forward 1st Dortmunds list of injuries and suspension, and with Union Berlin, I think they just got lucky at the beginning of the season, so it is highly unlikely that Frankfurt will lose that position this is just what I see, maybe a shifting position with RB Leipzig could be a possible outcome for now, but further development I will still see to make sure,

1973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 17, 2022, 10:33:26 PM

Yup, Tsarukyan vs Ismagulov will def be good.  I got Tsarukyan but I have him at the fourth tier of my parlay lottery ticket.  An argument could be made for Ismagulov as a straight up value bet as he's a live dog. 

As it's close to a pickem, I got Nurmagomedov but just like Tsarukyan vs Ismagulov, I wouldn't blame you guys if you went for the other guy.  Lol.  And for the ladies, Vlismas straight up for me.  McKenna is just too small and doesn't have any pop in her strikes, Vlismas does.  I fancy Vlismas finishing her late in the match. 

Official weigh ins in 1.5 hours.

UFC Vegas 66:  Official Weigh Ins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke0xoJ-rYt0

Yup! he is sure good and will do pretty well against Damir Ismagulov in my opinion, and it will be a banger to watch I am pretty much excited to see this fight and Arman Tsarukyan has decent kicks and can take his opponent to the ground, but surely both have good striking, Jui Jitsu, and Sambo in my opinion,



So here is my late pick for the fights today and because I was late I will just give my opinion on just 2 fights,

Jared Cannonier VS Sean Strickland

The stake odds for this fight are 1.83 for Cannonier and 1.99 for Strickland, for this fight, I am seeing Cannonier has the most power output of the two he can surely knockout Strickland with that power, while Sean Strickland doesn't punch more, and if Cannonier can see that opening he can snipe you, and that leg kick he has is really superb and I know Sean Strickland can go with the takedown when it can be dangerous on the standing he can surely go with takedowns which Cannonier can defend easily just like we see with Brunson, and if Sean Strickland is not successful with his takedown he would likely abandon takedowns, which Derek Brunson's as keep on doing the entire fight until he was successful in taking it, but surely Jared Cannonier can be a pain in don't takedown defense, so I will go with Jared Cannonier,

Arman Tsarukyan VS Damir Ismagulov

The stake odds for this fight are 1.49 for Tsarukyan and 2.65 for Ismagulov, for this fight, Ismagulov has good striking and is great at preserving his energy in pulling his strike in the most open way, and Arman Tsarukyan has a problem with the standing he surely wants to finish the fight with a KO by giving a good overhand punch out of nowhere I think that will not going to work with Damir but Arman Tsarukyan has a ground game and I haven't seen Damir Ismagulov defending some takedowns because he doesn't have any opponent that does that and this is the 1st time he may do that and I really don't know if he has good Jui-Jitsu and I am kind of curious with Damir Ismaglov actually I know the fair wrestling of Tsarukyan and I really love the guy, but after seeing that great technical striking of Damir Ismagulov it was outstanding and for me he hasn't shown anything yet, and I might go with the underdog, for this fight so I would go with Damir Ismagulov,

The result of my pick Yesterday

Charlotte Hornets VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 106 - 125 - LOST

Lamelo Ball is back but wasn't enough against the Hawks, the Atlanta Hawks did fairly enough at the start of the game, and Trae Young did redeem himself the difference is Trae Young having Bogdan Bogdanovic backing him up, with Bogdanovic having 28 points, and Young getting 31 points,

Detroit Pistons VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 113 - 122 - WIN

It seems that the Piston is really having a hard time they are the lower team in the standings even though they got a good point spread it wasn't enough with Sacramento's big guns that will catch fire, every game at the start I thought that the Piston can win but the Sacramento was great in the 2nd half and made a fair game catching up,

Toronto Raptors VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 116 - 119 - WIN

A very close game indeed, those injuries have proven crucial for the team and they are badly needed for this game but Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Fred VanVleet made a great struggle in winning the game with the limited player rotation they have, while the Brooklyn Nets Still struggle from the start of the game but recovers in the 2nd half thanks to their Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 126 - 108 - WIN

Well, the moment I have seen Anthony Davis on the court I immediately switch my bet, at first it was a fairly close game but when it comes to the 2nd half all hell let loose when Lebron James exploded, the Los Angeles Lakers from a good enough player rotation than with the Denver Nuggets that mostly all have done a great job, in averaging 2 digit points,

It's a travelling violation but... who cares. It's the NBA and they don't call travelling violations especially when a player is on a fast break.
Removing the violation, Bol Bol is the one who is rising now on the Magic who is now on a 5-game winning streak.

Many are eyeing on Wembanyama because of how versatile he is but can we just look on how Bol Bol is playing. He can pass, he can defend, he can make fastbreaks, he can shoot, he's tall. He's like a Giannis version 2.0 or well it isn't that close still but give him more time and he can develop his skills even further. The problem that I'm seeing is his body frame. Since he's very thin compared to other 7-footer big players out there, he's more prone to injuries.

Forget Wembanyama and don't overhype that kid. We already have Bol Bol who is rising right now, and he can also do the things that Wembanyama can do (or at least most of them). He might be included in the Most Improved Player as long as he will not get injured the whole season and TBH, he might win it if he will be a candidate.

Bol Bol Is really a great addition to the Orlando Magic, I think the referee is not aware of what Bol bol is doing fleeing from coast to coast of the court, and because of his weird movement because of his long limbs it is not really visible, but we can not deny that this kid really has potential in making it big someday and there is still room for improvements  so that is it,

Well Victor Wembanyama is a different player than Bol Bol and I think we can not really compare the two Victor Wembanyama is still a draft prospect for the 2023 NBA while Bol Bol is now playing and showing great potential along with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner this new generation has proven that there are diamond with the draft that needs to be polished to let you see their true shine and worth and I think the Orlando Magic is lucky enough to get them good Diamonds this season and if they are not lucky enough to enter the play-offs then there are a big chance for the next season and could polished this young guns true shine and potential,


If Curry can't play for 2 weeks, it would be a really big opportunity for other players. If they lose a match because Curry is not playing, they will suffer a huge loss, so the players who will replace Curry must show a very high performance.

To be honest, All Star matches are not as enjoyable as they used to be, the most wanted players in the voting system are not my favourites.
Still, I think this year will be better than last year Smiley

Well, I am really not that nervous if Stephen Curry is not playing for the Warriors as I see this as a great opportunity for the Golden State Warriors to try out their 2nd unit, and they still do not have their mini Stephen Curry that can make the play for them, but this will surely push Jordan Poole to be the best player like he used to be and along with Klay Thompson we have a mini splash, well even though that Stephen Curry is the focal point on the Warriors offense I still think this is a great opportunity for the Warriors to try something new, they can always throw Jordan Poole as the mini replacement for Stephen Curry, and along Poole, we have Klay Thompson is a crucial player for the Warriors Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney, and their 2nd unit will be Jonathan Kuminga, JaMychal Green, James Wiseman, and their new rooster or we can say hidden gems that may unlock their potential in Stephen Curry's absence, are Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Lamb, but we will see if what the Golden State Warriors will do,

I think top 4 is a likely finish for sure, but second position I still nominate Dortmund there. They seem like they are working to fix some things and get some players in January transfer window, and I am guessing that they will play a lot better and could be second. UCL on the other hand I agree that Napaoli is a much better team this year, and they will probably win.

It's not going to be so easy as to just make it work for them, there is a chance we may not end up with a good game for Napoli as well, just because they haven't lost doesn't mean they won't, if Frankfurt plays right, they do have a chance to win this game and shock the entire world as well.

Right now Dortmund is not in shape in getting in the 2nd place, because if you would look at their injuries and suspension page, they have quite a plenty of best names on it, right now but this long break is definitely needed not only by Dortmund but with all the clubs that have injuries because right now we all know Sébastien Haller's condition and given the nature of it he isn't able to play and doesn't really know if when will he return, and the list goes on so maybe a great trade will spiral them up,

Injuries

Abdoulaye Kamara
Marius Wolf
Tom Rothe
Marco Reus
Anthony Modeste

Suspension

Karim Adeyemi

Risk of Suspension

Mats Hummels
Emre Can
Salih Özcan
Jude Bellingham


In Bundesliga, I have to say that Frankfurt has improved recently. At least they are performing better than what they have done in the last season. They are in a very reachable position for second place. And if they continue playing well, I believe that they have a very good chance of finishing in the second position. The problem is they will have to improve their defense. They have just conceded too many goals this season. If they can continue scoring in the same way, and if they are also able to defend a little better, I think they have a good chance of finishing in the second position on the table.

In the Champions League, yes I agreed Napoli is going to be a very hard opponent. Napoli is playing very well this season. It is going to be hard for Frankfurt to beat Napoli.


Indeed! Frankfurt is a different team now, maybe because of their defense and strategy that they lifted up themselves in the 4th standings, but even though they have become like this, do not forget about the other notable teams that can likely jeopardize their decent, right now they got a couple of injuries and suspension that they need to make solution first, right now Makoto Hasebe, Matteo Bignetti, Ansgar Knauff, and Marcel Wenig, got some injuries, while Almamy Touré, Aurélio Buta, and Marcel Wenig is suspended right now and lastly Djibril Sow is on the risk of suspension I think they need to have a solution for this problem before they can become the 2nd place standing of the Bundesliga,

1977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA Info and Predictions - Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE... on: December 16, 2022, 11:13:19 PM
I think I will make my pick for the fights on KSW 77 for me it was an exciting event and because we will all witness a David and Goliath fight a Middleweight VS a Heavyweight for the Main Event,

Mariusz Pudzianowski VS Mamed Khalidov

The stake odds for this fight are 2.29 for Pudzianowski and 1.56 for Khalidov, now I really don't know why a battle between two significantly different weight classes would need to collide and I really don't know their beef with each other but because of Pudzian heavy mass he got the advantage of weight and against Khalidov that is a middleweight only and a wrestler so that is one significant factor of edge with weight and Pudzian also got that knockout power for the fight to only last 1 round for me this is a no brainer my pick is Pudzianowski but indeed it is one curious fight to watch,

Sebastian Przybysz VS Jakub Wikłacz

The stake odds for this fight are 1.39 for Przybysz and 2.75 for Wiklacz, for this fight, Jakub Wiklacz has a reach advantage of 2.3 centimeters over Przybysz and is much younger than him, well even though Sebastian is the favorite win for me Jakub Wiklacz has a good record of 9 submission wins, this could end up nasty because Sebastian Przybysz has a good striking pattern and could knockout Wiklacz fast, but with great timing, Jakub Wiklacz can manipulate his takedowns for me I like the underdog, so my pick will be Jakub Wiklacz,

Aleksandra Karaseva VS Wiktoria Czyżewska

The stake odds for this fight are, well there are no bookies on a stake I think because this is the latest addition to the event, for these fighting kitties it is a fight or Ukraine VS Russia, but let's step back on that political views, but for this fight, I think Wiktoria Czyzewska has many experiences in her past amateur fight but surely she can not underestimate the power of Karaseva, but for me with the beautiful Wiktoria Czyzewka, I think that experience that she has might go fine wit her own way,

I haven't made any bets since last time and have been very busy, but right now this is my pick, for games today,

Charlotte Hornets VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.67 for the Hornets and 2.27 for the Hawks, Right now Cody Martin, Mark Williams, and Dennis Smith Jr. can not play for the Hornets while Gordon Hayward is questionable if he can play, and for the Hawks have Dejounte Murray, John Collins, and Clint Capela can not play for the this game against the Hornets, in this game last time the Hawks is struggling even with a full players this time Dejounte Murray is a big draw back for them, so I will be going with the Hornets,

Detroit Pistons VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.80 for the Pistons and 1.47 for the Kings Right now Isaiah Livers is the only one not available to play for the Pistons, and Alex Len for the Kings while Kevin Huerter is questionable if he can play for the Kings, for this game the Kings has been a dominant and surprising team so my pick will be the Sacramento Kings,

Toronto Raptors VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 2.01 for the Raptors and 1.84 for the Nets, Right now Precious Achiuwa, OG Anunoby, Otto Porter Jr., and Ron Harper Jr. can not play for the Raptors and for the Brooklyn Nets they have Patty Mills who can not play for this game against the Raptors, while Seth Curry is questionable if he can play for this game because of the injuries that the Raptors have I think my pick will be the Nets,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.95 for the Lakers and 1.89 for the Nuggets, Right now Juan Toscano-Anderson, and Wenyen Gabriel can not play for the Lakers while Cole Swider, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James is questionable if they can play for the Lakers and for the Nuggets they have Collin Gillespie, and Michael Porter Jr. so for this game I think that I will go with the Denver Nuggets if Anthony Davis can not really play for the team, I will look for it on the start of the game and maybe change my pick if he can play,
1979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 16, 2022, 08:22:58 AM


I haven't heard the news that Nonito Donaire will compete for the WBC belt. But in any case that Inoue vacated all the belt, obviously it will be open and Nonito once held that belt and probably he is still the number 1 contender not just for WBC or even for the other belts that Inoue held before.

So does make sense if the governing body will allow Nonito to fight for the belt right away and I can't remember if Nonito held either any belts, how many times he become a bantamweight champion and he could be the oldest.

I think Nonito Donaire now got his eyes targeted on a major world title match and this is the ARTICLE well, despite his major knockout lost to the monster Naoya Inoue that is not given him any doubt to himself, and I think that is the good quality of most Filipino's it is hard for them to learn how to give up, and right now Nonito Donaire in the article said that he is targeting Roman Gonzalez and Juan Franciso Estrada,

I remember Butler saying that he will do what Donaire did on the first match against Inoue, Butler stated that he won't show respect to Inoue because lots of boxers whom Inoue beats easily are those who give Inoue lots of respect.  So Butler stated that he wouldn't give respect to the power of Inoue when facing him.  But it turns out that Butler not only respects the power punching of Inoue but rather left him unable to do what he wanted because he was terrified by the power of Inoue.


Poor guy, it goes to show that the level of Naoya Inoue is really different now, it is just sad that the 1st match of Nonito Donaire VS Naoya Inoue was a close one, but on an interview with Nonito Donaire even though he did not say what did happen with their rematch it was really bleak that Naoya Inoue is not a different boxer from their last fight, Inoue now overtakes Donaire tremendously that Donaire now is taking a step backward of the division, because he knows how the Monster Naoya Inoue power and speed can be devastating, and even though Paul Butler won't admit it, his reaction to all the punches he receives to Naoya Inoue is truly different from other boxers he faced,

1980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2022, 06:40:42 AM
Indeed main event is interesting to watch. I dont even know who is better Strickland or Cannonier. According to bookies, both have close chances to win. I would say that Cannonier looks better on the paper, he had stronger opponents, the fights he had lost against top opponents were by decision mostly. I think he will take a win this time.

Surely a great match one was lost to Adesanya and one to Pereira,  now Sean Strickland could result in takedowns, but knowing him 1st round will be on the stand-up, for this I got Cannonier having good strength with his striking, while Strickland has some technical sticking up nevertheless he can not risk that if Cannonier has a good chin and a better counter, and even though Strickland has a ground game Jared Cannonier has superb takedown defense just like he did with Derek Brunson, and not like Brunson Strickland has a tendency to give-up on takedowns if it is not successful, so this is going to be an interesting fight,


For me, Cannonier seems to be the more comfortable side to win. Connonier fought harder opponents, yes, can you look at the names he lost, to say one by one, Blachowicz, Whittaker, Adasenya, Teixeira. I don't know how this fight will end, but Connonier will win this fight, maybe by referee decision. He's even physically superior. I assume you have more variety in your fighting abilities. Strickland often pushes his opponent and tries to cause damage by throwing straight posts.

Indeed! I sure think aswell, for me Jared Cannonier is a comfortable side to bet on, and even though the odds are a little close for me chance that Strickland will have a hard time with the takedowns for sure, but surely Sean Strickland has a sense of having the fight to go the distance for sure, just like what he did with his recent fights and winning it with a decision, but for me, Cannonier should counter this with a counter of his own, a good timing on counter can win Jared a KO against Strickland,
