Great picks guys and congratulations to the winners here is the result of my yesterday bets,

Results for my picks on today's game

Orlando Magic (1.38) VS Charlotte Hornets (3.20) - WIN


It was a close game from the start but the Orlando Magic got their pace in the 2nd half making the Charlotte Hornets lose the game, Terry Rozier, Brandon Miller, and Miles Bridge did a great job but it was not enough as the Orlando Magic has gotten their pace and got the 2nd half to their advantage, as Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Cole Anthony, have made the Orlando win for this game and I also won my bet,

Memphis Grizzlies (3.00) VS Minnesota Timberwolves (1.41) - WIN


This is really something for the Minnesota Timberwolves from start to finish the Timberwolves didn't let the Grizzlies perform well, and they also got a great spread for this game where Mike Conley Jr., has a double-double, and Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid and Anthony Edwards was firing up and didn't let the Grizzlies made any lead for in this game,

Nice! Good luck with your bets

Nice job. I don’t think any of those picks were too risky or controversial but it’s still a great thing to hit a multi leg parlay like that. Especially with 4 games. I would have been a little concerned about betting against the Bulls but it clearly paid off for you here. I’m guessing their team moral is taking a hit with all the latest trade discussions.

Thanks! I actually went for a safer bet and for the multi-leg parley that could be a huge opportunity to get a huge profit but for sure I didn't want to risk it, but still, I got a huge profit by getting into the money line, and for sure getting into the favorite was the right option for me will in this games,

Qualifying is starting soon in the final race of the season for the Abu Dhabi GP!

Think I saw an interview with Verstappen yesterday after the first practice session about this new rule for this race:
https://www.racefans.net/2023/11/25/f1-drivers-banned-from-overtaking-in-pit-exit-tunnel-during-qualifying/

It was a typical Verstappen when his opponent was not exiting the pit because of the rules and for sure this is a game of patience Verstappen is now waiting for anyone that will be exiting the pit lane as he can not overtake them but for sure a strategy of drivers on the pit lane was t forcefully slow down and force the driver to overtake them to get a penalty that was one major set back for that rule, or is there also a rule on drivers on the pit exiting? for sure I don't know the main rules or most rules for sure,

Looks like another win for Max.

If they will not crush on turn 1, I can't see anyone fighting with him.

Actually not looking good for the other F1 team and drivers because Max Verstappen is really hard to stop or he is still in domination he is already champion for this season but he is not giving up on giving the points to the others driver or team, the domination of Max Verstappen still continues, for sure Lewis Hamilton on the interview that he is worried for next year because this is not a great year for Mercedes,

And so the Dominant Dutchman wins his 19th for this season, for sure that was a world record to behold for Max Verstappen, and now that the season ends I am also missing the F1 right now,

208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 26, 2023, 10:54:02 AM

There is nothing to expect from the Jones vs Miocic fight. It would just be another win for Jones. Jones says it's GOAT vs GOAT but the problem is the miocic era is over. I see it more like Jones is trying to complete his great record in the UFC by defeating a legendary heavyweight fighter but the problem is that the fighter is far past his prime. This is like you saying a welterweight fighter asks for a GOAT vs GOAT match but against GSP who is retired and hasn't trained in a long time.

There is a retirement of a legend for sure this is to seal the deal with Stipe Miocic as Miocic once went back-to-back against Francis Ngannou and Daniel Cormier, and Jon Jones is now a Heavyweight, and for me, this is a good send-off for Stipe Miocic and for sure this is a farewell and a parting gift of Jon Jones to him  for sure a big money awaits Stipe Miocic because he accepts this fight for me I am now OK with Stipe Miocic fighting Jon Jones even though
 am sure that Stipe Miocic will likely lose that fight, that is what may happen to him for sure, but as I have said a good send of for Stipe Miocic plus receiving money after the fight,

OK, I just checked the odds for Turner Vs Green and Green is a big underdog for some reason, with x2.88 (on Unibet) payout rate. What am I missing here? I'd expect bookies to be favouring Green.
Is it just age and reach advantage? Other than that, Turner is stepping in on a VERY short notice, he lost his 2 latest fights, while Green won his last two in a compelling fashion.


For sure many thought that Bobby Green would be the favorite and I am sure that he is not the underdog in this fight if you don't look at their age that is because Bobby Green is not fighting like a 37-year-old when you see him, and for sure he is still slick in my opinion in his age he looks decent for sure so giving him the underdog treatment is surely ludicrous,


I would say that Jones is a rare natural talent in the UFC. Has good striking, great wrestling, agile footwork and the most highlight is an extraordinary fighting IQ. It was too crazy a talent. Like a cheat. I think God gave Jones the lack of discipline and willpower to balance out such talent. Sorry if I'm offended but just imagine, if a monster with that kind of talent had all the qualities of a fighter like Khabib, then I think LHW should be changed to Jon Jones Division Weight LOL.

For sure Jon Jones is a talented monster sure it was like every IQ in the world he has gotten it, but after seeing Tom Aspinall doing that to Sergei Pavlovich I am sure that he can take on Jon Jones and I am likely excited for that fight to happen but for sure Stipe Miocic will likely to be the focus for Jon Jones right now for sure no Miocic fight then there will be no other fights aside from that,

It was a success I have gotten a great perfect win for yesterday's game in the NBA In-Season Tournament,

New York Knicks (1.39) VS Miami Heat (2.76) - WIN


It was a close game for these two teams and I thought that the Miami Heat could win, I was at the edge of my seat wishing that the New York Knicks could win the game as Bam Adebayo had a great performance for this game but they still ended up losing it and Jimmy Butler again turned into the son of Michael Jordan for this game, but end up losing this the New York Knicks got a great check on reality for them Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Jalen Brunson manage in winning in this tight game,  

Toronto Raptors (1.57) VS Chicago Bulls (2.78) - WIN


It was a solid shake-up and a dominant performance for the Toronto Raptors as from start to finish they took up all quarters leading the game, and Zach LaVine was the only player who kept the Chicago Bulls on their feet with his lead of 36 points for this game, but the Raptors score spread has proven that they were effective in making the points and LaVine was late in exploding his score for this game, Pascal Siakam, Dennis Schroder, Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby got a tremendous lead for this game,

Milwaukee Bucks (1.22) VS Washington Wizards (5.50) - WIN


This game was a close one as the Washington Wizard won the 1st half of the game and ended this game with the score spread on Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Poole, Tyus Jones, Corey Kispert, and Landry Shamet but it was a dominant lead and performance when it comes in the 2nd half when the Milwaukee Bucks suddenly explode their score giving Damian Lillard great gameplay for the team as they are now making progress with the chemistry thing, with Brook Lopez leading the score,

Indiana Pacers (1.29) VS Detroit Pistons (3.60) - WIN


It was an Indiana Pacers all the way as the Pistons Cade Cunnigham did a great thing in getting this team to pull themselves together but it was just that and the Pacers were working with their teamwork with Tyrese Haliburton in charge with making the team play, it was a great success for sure,

It seems that my favorite pick luck was kicking in, and I won all bets for the NBA In-Season Tournament here is the result of my picks for yesterday's game and I was late in making my bets on today's game

Milwaukee Bucks (1.17) VS Washington Wizards (5.50) - WIN


This game was a close one as the Washington Wizard won the 1st half of the game and ended this game with the score spread on Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Poole, Tyus Jones, Corey Kispert, and Landry Shamet but it was a dominant lead and performance when it comes in the 2nd half when the Milwaukee Bucks suddenly explode their score giving Damian Lillard great gameplay for the team as they are now making progress with the chemistry thing, with Brook Lopez leading the score,

211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MMA talk - PFL, Bellator, KSW, ONE... on: November 25, 2023, 11:22:09 PM
Here are the results for my picks on the PFL 10 2023 PFL World Championship

Clay Collard (2.95) VS Olivier Aubin-Mercier (1.35) - WIN


For sure both fighters have shown what they can do inside the ring but Aubin-Mercier is just that great at getting Clay Collard's bloodied face, it was total domination for Olivier Aubin-Mercier when it came to the ground but Clay Collard was aggressive with leg kicks and has great boxing that pressured OAM, but that right from Aubin-Mercier stops Collard, and this two had a shin clash as well that redied but you can see the offense and defense of Olivier Aubin Mercier's wrestling that was the key for his victory and control over Clay Collard, and the return of Mario Yamasaki the legendary referee is here,

Renan Ferreira (2.75) VS Denis Goltsov (1.40) - LOST


The fight was really unexpected and this is Heavyweight so the fight could also not go the distance, Renan Ferreira was aggressive and vicious with his attack on Goltsov that didn't let Denis Goltsov recover and defeated Goltsov, the first round was a show for Denis Goltsov always controlling Renan Ferreira on the ground but he can not finish the submission that always let Renan Ferreira restart on his feet, and so in the 2nd round Renan Ferreira knows what he  will do with Denis Goltsov and that punch from him has a sudden reaction that knockout Goltsov,

Larissa Pacheco (1.14) VS Marina Mokhnatkina (5.00) - WIN


It was an aggressive Larissa Pacheco in the opening round and all Marina Mokhnatkina could do was evade and go with the takedowns and submissions that kneebar from Marina Mokhnatkina you can see that Larissa Pacheco always spaces that submission lock and that kneebar was always her weapon on Pacheco but Larissa Pacheco always keep on the pace on striking and that was the thing that Larissa Pacheco got the score card and Marina Mokhnatkina survives this fight and go beyond the distance but still a lost because she didn't make enough strike against Larissa Pacheco,

Big news dropping now!
PFL has now officially purchased Bellator!!
Better watch out UFC and Dana White, PFL is coming to get you soon and I bet this new PFL is going to be top MMA promotion soon.
Bellator is still going to exist in 2024 with different name and more details will be revealed later.  
This is just the beginning.


https://pflmma.com/news/professional-fighters-league-acquires-bellator-in-industry-transformative-deal

A great deal for sure as PFL wants to be a bigger organization it surely is great that PFL managed to buy Bellator as they are now using the Bellator Channel for sure but for me, I want to see great action from PFL between Bellator fighters and a champion versus champion fight will be an epic kind of thing PFL heavyweight vs Bellator Heavyweight, and vice versa for all division I think that will happen but for sure in due time,

I have always like things like that. I always wonder what happens to division champions when do promotions merge. When UFC bought Strikeforce, all Strikeforce champions have lost their unique status and simply were implemented into top10-15 ranking (not on high positions) and had to join belt race from the beginning. Wonder how fighters gonna accept that, because yesterday you were a champion with privileges, and today you are just a fighter with a contract.

The sad thing for Strikeforce fighters is that they were shocked when they found out the news for sure, and they likely broke their heart when the UFC announced the details to them and for sure Dana White and the Strikeforce CEO of Strikeforce has some beef with each other, and for sure that is why Dana White has bought strikeforce he said he was disgusted in strikeforce and wants to save its fighters but Scott Coker has explained that Dana White is lying to them as Scott Coker is the CEO of strikeforce he is also the current President of Bellator MMA,

214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 24, 2023, 11:12:47 PM

The thing is, everybody knows and expects Stipe to be an easy fight for Jones. Jon tries to wrap it up as fighting against the heavyweight GOAT, but that's simply not true. Stipe was great but he's effectively retired and going back to the octagon only for the money.
With that in mind, I'm not so sure if the pay would be higher for Stipe than for Aspinall. Tom made his name quite quickly and everybody knows he's the real challenge, defeating him would undoubtedly prove that Jones is the greatest in the world. I know which fight I'd prefer to see and I'm sure most of the UFC fans would agree.


You can look at the paper and you can clearly see the difference between the two, Jon Jones has a lot of advantages over Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones's age, Stipe Miocic is 41, and Jon Jones is 36 which is a clear deficit Reach advantage Miocic got Reach: 80.0" (203cm) while Jones has Reach: 84.5" (215cm), fighting record Stipe Miocic got 20-4-0 (Win-Loss-Draw) 14 KO, 1 Submission, and 5 Decision while Jon Jones has 27-1-0, 1 NC (Win-Loss-Draw) with 10 KO, 7 Submission, and 10 Decision, for sure in this kind of stats in paper Jon Jones would likely win and got the edge on the odds,


Two champion in one division is great. After all the other one is inactive and they can be activated when someone with a potential PPV money maker comes up.
Stipe is arguably the greatest in UFC HW but of course, Stipe isn't what he was at this point. They could have done this fight a long time ago but why did Dana have to wait?

No one wants to see Stipe fight at this point due to his age but because this is a legacy fight as Dana said, it would happen and make Jones the Goat.
They didn't make it easy for Tom to rise in UFC, he was on his winning streak and then matched to one of the toughest Blaydes.

People want to see Jones vs Aspinall of course, will Dana agree to be on the UK market? Most likely not

The UFC has already established the Jon Jones VS Stipe Miocic fight, for it can also generate a potential PPV, but what if the UFC is also establishing the Tom Aspinall for the winner of the Sergei Pavlovich VS Tom Aspinall fight will likely fight Whoever wins the someone who can Jon Jones VS Stipe Miocic

For sure many want to see a fight between Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones but what if the UFC is ahead of us and wants the fight at a later date and the UFC is still establishing a better PPV for the two to fight in a given time for sure,


I think Jones still has 'it' as a fighter.  I kinda had my doubts before Gane, but after Gane he showed that he's still at the top of his game.  And Gane is one of the best MMA heavy weights in the world.  Nobody expected Jones to finish him that fast.

And we've already seen Jones at his worst and still managed to win.  If he wins vs Aspinall then there's only one fight to make for Jones...  A match up vs Ngannou.

I never expected his win over Cyril Gane, but he managed to win that in a fast surprising manner, and for sure Jon Jones has the fight IQ to win in a tight spot, but his game will suddenly get over as his age progresses, and now that he is injured I might say that he is likely prone to being injured at his age, and after the Tom Aspinall VS Jon Jones fight for sure it is a hard to see a Francis Ngannou for sure but if Jones gets into PFL maybe we can likely see it,

Great way to close out the season with a retrospective of how it went by each team principle from some teams of the F1 on CNBC:
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown talks putting fans at the center of his F1 team’s strategy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfYGMkZnQ_I

For sure McLaren CEO Zak Brown is really doing his job religiously, and for the McLaren team the fans surely have a voice but not a vote, the fans can sometimes manage to vote because of their voice, I really think this is a great way in communicating with the Fans and this is McLaren's priority as the Fans are keeping the sports and business alive, for sure and finishing the interview Zak Brown also added that the number of race is 24 which is OK with the number of calendars, while there are demands for a 30 race season but it is too much for the management of F1 as F1 is a global sport and the race will take place in different countries and holding a race is just that expensive for sure,

Haas’ Guenther Steiner on the rapid growth of Formula 1 racing in America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwvlsjofoY

Guenther Steiner got a good explanation about how he is getting his business and his work in the Haas F1 is kept intact for sure as he is pretty much good at what Haas has done so far,

Also an interview by Christian Horner saying there isn't a seat available at Red Bull. So basically stating that they will be keeping Sergio Perez for next season as his contract has him on for:

While For sure I don't have much time to explain every bit and detail the other team CEO has to say but most of the time they will surely get into the good part of creating their ideology with the team and how they keep the team intact and what are their plan in the future of F1,

Looks like some of your bets were a success @owengtam09 and that one loss I had Leavitt to win as well.
@YuginKadoya had all his selections correct as for the ones I chose for this event lost, except the easy ones for the prelims.
Not an overall exciting event as we are all waiting for the last event of the year to happen between Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington.

The remaining fight scheduled for the next month can be seen here:
https://www.espn.com/mma/schedule/_/league/ufc

It was an almost perfect bet if Jordan Leavitt won it, but Chase Hooper managed to get into Leavitt's back to get that Rear naked choke so for sure Jordan Leavitt's wrestling defense is still not as great as when his time-fighting Paddy Pimblett there for he is still that kind of a fighter for sure I will keep him off my betting in his next fight but for sure it will depend on who is he fighting,


UFC Fight Night | Dariush vs. Tsarukyan

For me this is interesting we can now see what can Arman Tsarukyan do against Beneil Dariush for me I will be very biased against Arman Tsarukyan if you have seen the last fight of Dariush Charles Oliveira had an easy fight against him and Arman Tsarukyan is like a mini Oliveira and he is going into that transition, we will have Dan Hooker VS Bobby Green which is a great Co-Main for sure, Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo which a pretty nice fight but for sure Font will be on the reach advantage, Sean Brady and Kelvin Gastelum, the Preliminary also got a huge impact Clay Guida VS Joaquim Silva and Miesha Tate VS Julia Avila,


Now that we are waiting for the next event because we don't have any event this week for sure it is a long drought for the UFC guys but that is how it is, we could surely determine getting a discussion on the upcoming event early but for sure we are used in getting fight every week, but right now the upcoming event will be Dariush vs Tsarukyan, and just like what you have said Arman Tsarukyan is a great fighter and for me, he got what it takes to win against Beniel Dariush for sure, as we all know that Beniel Dariush is specialize with wrestling and takedowns while Arman Tsarukyan also have both

While I think that Arman Tsarukyan has a great wrestling defense for sure and good striking as well, Arman Tsarukyan is the favorite to win this fight so I am also going with Arman Tsarukyan, while in this event UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan it's Co-Main Event was canceled because of the injury on Dan Hooker so the Co-Main event was canceled, and so the CO-Main right now is Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo,

Yeah guys, it feels the next fight scheduled is a long time from now with this one you have been mentioning happening on December 2 in Austin, Texas.

With some more recent news:
Does anybody see the new merger between PFL and Bellator affecting the UFC in anyway?
The UFC is more dominant in the MMA fight sport than both of them combined.

Hear they might have a possible Ngannou vs Paul in the cards.
I know this is laughable but when it comes bringing in the eyes and hence the dollars to the masses, that is all these type of organizations think about when it comes down to it.
Jake Paul isn't even the same weightclass as Ngannou so this circus-type fight would not fly.

Maybe under the Paul boxing promotions banner but not in the MMA.

I have seen the news that PFL has bought Bellator and I think that was a great move for the PFL, and now in the Bellator Channel here is the link https://www.youtube.com/@BellatorMMA we can see the Bellator MMA channel that PFL is now using it, you can see some videos of the PFL,

We spoke about it before. Max is just a crybaby. He loves Monaco, he doesn't like Vegas. You can't pick which icing not to eat on your cake rught?

Anyway, Abu Dhabi is heating up. I cannot think of complaints about this track or weather. Desert is built for racing right?

Well, I think he is the only one who has to say about the Las Vegas Grand Prix for sure all the F1 management wants to do is to make the F1 better than ever, and pretty much well-known to some people who didn't know about the F1 for sure a little compassion for the management for sure all they want to do is to make the F1 pretty much greater,


The issue is that these are "employees" if you think about it, I mean sure they are driving and they are the names and all that, but if Red Bull didn't pay 50 million a year to him, there would be only a few teams who could, maybe just Mercedes and Ferrari, that's about it and they are a "maybe" not certain to be fair, because they wouldn't know if he would be that good with them as well.

So, the fact that he is getting paid all thanks to these, is the important thing he needs to remember. Without Las Vegas type of money, they wouldn't make profit, all these F1 , liberty media, and everything else, all the teams, they are all making money from Las Vegas being added, it's a rich city, and pays a ton, so they need to accept that fact.

For certain, I agree with you, I just watched an interview and a video that Max Verstappen was Constantly complaining and that he surely doesn't want the fame of Driving an F1 car, but for sure he already become famous for this and if he doesn't want to be that famous then stop Driving and just retire early like he was saying that he is retiring early, on F1, I really don't know about the guy and what is he thinking for sure the F1 is doing things that improve in making money because holding this kind of event is pretty much expensive so much expensive that most race will be in the middle east because on so much payment they can receive in there,

Wow. Having VIP Access would be a dream to participate in. It's definitely one of the most exciting experiences that we could do. That's where you could really meet the drivers or any VIP on the team right? Or maybe a chance? That's really expensive though :O

It is really expensive to watch F1 and that is why getting this Grid Pass is such a privilege but having this kind of VIP I think the people that can only avail it were the most elite people for sure, mostly well-known people for sure,

I don't know why but this heat is getting to me. Ferrari finally showing some improvements, too late but good sign for next season.

Finally the table updated and somehow I managed to stay in 4th place, but equal on points with bullrunbro in 3rd place. One more big race everybody and from the neon and rainy weather of Las Vegas we go to sandy dusty Abu Dhabi for the final showdown! Good luck everyone!

I don't know if that was a great sign for Ferrari and because Max Verstappen is new to the Las Vegas track he is having so many mistakes and even though he has said that the track was incredible he did criticize it many times like saying how bad it the Las Vegas for sure and how he was having mistakes on the Practice and the Qualifying he still manages to get the race win just because Leclerc did have some trouble in the pit,


What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas as the saying goes.
And Perez wishes those late overtakes stays there and doesn't follow him in the next race in Abu Dhabi.
Ferrari are starting to warm up and what do you know, it's the final race of the season this weekend.


For sure what happens in Vegas needs to stay in Vegas  because Max Verstappen doesn't really care about the music and the performance of another artist at the start of the race, and all drivers just stand like a clown waving there are many that Max Verstappen didn't like that needs to stay in Vegas for sure, and don't forget the midnight cold that the race will start, for sure the F1 management on Vegas would change the time more early, next GP,

If things continued the way they were in the first part of the race then Leclerc could have really won the race by a decent gap as well. However those safety cars weren't very good signs for him and the latest one put him in a more difficult spot. Verstappen and Perez gained a lot of pace after that one. Maybe Ferrari could also have got him into pit though as his tyres were 5 laps older than them.

When it comes to Ferrari pit crew they were a disappointment during Leclerc's pit as it took them one second longer to mount one of the tyres. Even milliseconds is very valuable in this sport. But I really admired the way Leclerc continued fighting despite being overtaken by Perez.  Smiley  He really deserved the 2nd position after all that effort.

For sure they need to change strategy and the pit crew for sure or if not change, maybe train their pit crew and in whatever kind of problem the Ferrari needs to change I think they need to change it asap for sure there are an inch in getting that win for Charles Leclerc, but still failed miserably
