Since they wrapped up filming of Drive to Survive season 5 on November 18th according to a tweet released by film makers of the series.
The new season should be released on March 5th and just in time for the start for the racing to begin:

A lot of home favorites this week, i'll go with a small play on the Jags and Lions both ML for a total odds of 2.21. The Jags should continue to roll with their explosive offense and the Texans haven't won a game at home.

The Lions also need a win and I think they'll likely get it against the Bears since they took down a much tougher team like the Vikings in their last home game. I'm avoiding the spread since they always like to give up points and their last meeting ended up with a 30-31 scoreline.

For the later games, i'm leaning on the Jets as I think they'll be more desperate to break their streak and the over in GB as both of these teams have a solid offense but don't have the best defense.
Wanting to go with the Lions as there are alot of teams resting or just taking out their first starters for quarterback in today's matches (Tua for Dolphins and Hurts for Eagles are the two I have heard so far) and Carr for Vegas will be out for the remainder of the season for some other reasons.
So Detroit for me seem to be the secure choice as well. With Chicago being dismal in their performance as a football squad.
The match starts in about 45 minutes and can be seen here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/detroit-lions-v-chicago-bears-63a25d5e532086d2ba04f49a

Haven't picked for the later games but New York Jets seem also to be a good team to bet for the ML.

There was an article earlier in the month on bloomberg concerning the esports investors drying up due to their sponsorships going a rye, then the whole thing with the exchange funding going belly up all at once:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/the-hype-around-esports-is-fading-as-investors-and-sponsors-flee
EG disbanding in North America and moving it's operations to South America was the first step.
There were some other teams in the Dota2 chapter that have had to disband due to the lack of funding.
Yes as what I am seeing, Dota shows the game that has the highest prize among all other esports, that's why we often see some teams disbanded or selling their rights to other team, we can say that salary of an esport player is too high as well, maybe because DOTA is the first known lan game and free to play. Last time, I heard some team looking for sponsors for them to support players salary and other benefits.
This fact about esports I hadn't checked into before and was surprised to find out that DOTA2 had given the highest amount in prizes for their tournaments.
I'd be more interested to find out which esports has the most viewership among the biggest championship tournaments for these categories as well.

I know Valorant is getting up there on the list of most popular upcoming esports streamed on twitch.

^Great odds, and one I took quickly when I saw it Newcastle and City should be a shoo-in, so I consider this a 5/1 bet on Palace (Zaha anyone to take them to 3-0?). Arsenal one, not sure, though, can't really feel super confident about Brighton getting 3 SOTs.

Hope you guys didn't forget to put in picks on the Bet-6-6... Free chance and your last one for the year to get the 100k USDT. I'd settle big time for the second prize on this one!

New Year will be nice if Arsenal win, and then Liverpool get their next one too as I had a really long acca with just those 2 games left.
Arsenal seem to be the team too rely on for a win on their acca this season. Atop of the league and 4 points clear of Man City.
They seem like Kings of the EPL world with both their rivals ending in draws yesterday.
Brighton must of got their three shots on goal after putting in 2 late goals when Mitoma was subbed into the game.

It was pretty sick for City to not win the game against Everton. I was pretty happy when Haaland scored those goal then Crystal palace scored as well which only left us with Newcastle but then somehow only Crystal Palace ended up winning their game lol
I was also surprised by that as I had a bunch of parlays lined up for Man City and Newcastle thinking they'll somehow get a late goal but I guess not.  Tongue

At the very least Arsenal saved me from having a bad day and I even got a free bet while tuning in to the clubhouse tv stream.  Cheesy
Yes @arallmuus was expecting another Man City win after Haaland scored that was certainly disappointing to see a draw at the 64th minute when Everton's Gray scored. Same with Newcastle, as someone had said earlier: They were shoe ins to win their matches.
BUt alas, that is the EPL for you. Never know until the final whistle is blown.

Arsenal did save the day for many @ralle14 with recouping for their losses on the day from the prior matches.
Me being one of them.

Hopefully the next two matches will end as predicted with both favorites winning:
Totteham Hot Spurs vs Aston Villa

After seeing news clips shown on main media, what gave his location away was a pizza box in his rebuttal video back to greta.
Jerry's pizza is a pretty well known pizzeria in Romania and they pin pointed his location from doing some simple searches in those cities.
Her response back was "I guess you should of recycled you pizza boxes." when Tate said in his video back to her he was glad not to use recycled boxes for his pizza.
What was a surprise is that authorities in several countries were looking for him going on five years.
Karma came to him in form of a Romanian cell for his New Years eve.

It has been slow for any news from anything in the UFC since the last fight several weeks ago.

What is next for NA Dota at this point ? They have only 2 teams left there and the new ones will emerge from DPC League 2....looks like a dead region in Dota Sad.
The old EG roster will keep on playing in the NA DPC since that was somewhat confirmed by their captain Fly.

Some disturbing news coming from the DOTA2 arena with a deal being pulled back from TSM made alight earlier yesterday.
That was kind of expected after the disaster and the TSM players might have to wait a bit before they could remove the FTX part from their dota2 pro name since it's the off season.

There were some who had shirts with the logo during road to rio so I am imagining this will affect their deals with the now defunct exchange as well.
I didn't even notice that FTX was sponsoring a csgo team and throughout the tournament, the imperial jerseys are always the ones that catch my eye. Cheesy

I do believe the Titans still have a chance to make it further against the Jags even though their back quarterback couldn't beat Prescott in their last game.
Every time I turned it back to the game the Cowboys were on their 10 yard line and scored either by a running play or a Dak pass into the endzone.
They are done.

.. Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg on my feed.

Didn't even really know he was a UFC fighter (but that tells me it's been around longer than I was aware of).

Trash talking doesn't always pay off, huh?
As far as I know he was a kickboxer in Asia had some good fights then retired into running his mouth for a living.
Funny thing you mention about this Greta Thunberg thing amongst them happening.
Was Just watching a podcast about it which was the stupidest thing I had watched in a long time. And I watch alot of dumb stuff on youtube/podcasts happening.
She told him to send her an email back and the address she sent him was smalldickengery(at)getalife.com
Well you can make your own conclusions on that one.

Then just heard this live while looking for the video I was watching yesterday:
Andrew Tate detained in Romania from twitter exchange with Thunberg:

I am not easily concerned about Djokovic's health. And corona now also seems to have largely disappeared from the face of the earth. This means that we no longer have to work with certain vaccinations. That would be very beneficial for Djokovic, as I don't think he will be vaccinated again. So if Corona comes back, we can be pretty sure that Djokovic will be banned from certain tournaments again. Own choice and own responsibility of course. But he has an exemplary role and has made quite a mess.
Wasn't Djokovic banned from attending the Australian Open for atleast 2023 season?
Thought I seen him mentioning at a press conference earlier today talking about playing in this one.
But he can't appeal with the ATP to attend and play at a tournament that he has been previously banned from could he?

Also will be going with Dallas tonight but the ML is very bad and not worth it to take alone.
So the betbuilder would be the better choice when placing your bet on this match.
Tennessee aren't looking good at all and even Henry I believe is out of the lineup so you know they will lacking their best players for this match too.
Think I will take a Dallas win with Dak passing over 1.5 touchdowns and the over on points too.

Every team is looking better than the Buccs right now.
They only score on average about 20 or less a game. And that can't help them if they even make it into the post season.

So it was true, that Sam Bankman Fried was an avid player of League of Legends. To the point he was playing while having conference calls with other CEO's of huge companies when putting together multi-million dollar deals in the process.
Here is a funny video to see while we wait for esports to pick up once again after the long break we are in:
https://twitter.com/itsk1cks/status/1608139751063691264

For the amount of time playing LOL he was only bronze two. He was also pretty bad at this game.

We know Haaland is one of the best players in the world, but I think he is still young and there will be times when we will play better.
Even now, he manages to break many records despite this young age Smiley
Look at Haaland, he is young, only 22 years old but he has scored 181 goals, nearly 200 goals. Will Haaland scores enough 1000 goals before his retirement?

Mbappe is 24 years old but has only 222 goals, not too much more than Haaland.
It's huge. All records are going to be broken by him. The fact that he's playing for a team like City makes that seem more likely. He may retire without playing in the World Cup because scoring for Norway will be much more difficult.

The next big thing will be Mbappe and Haaland if Messi and Ronaldo fade away. There will be a couple of years when they share the stage dominantly. Neither can be avoided!
Haaland's game was extra special to him since his father who played for both Leeds United and Manchester City was in the stands to see his son take that one step closer in goals scored.
He nearly had a third goal late in the second half but wasn't ment to be.

Damn it..!

I thought I'd be getting home in time today, knew they'd be specials and I'd have taken the corners in each game! Restarts means everyone who's fit is full of energy, almost like 1st game of the season.

Hope you guys managed to throw some hats into the ring.
Did you happen to miss today's special @buwaytress ?
Because if you took it you would of got Haaland to score and over 3.5 goals in the Manchester City vs Leeds United @2.40x odds.
Would of made for a very nice prize for your New Year's to celebrate with in the coming days.

Next matches are scheduled for the 30th between Liverpool vs Leicester City and West Ham vs Brentford:

But seriously though, is he just saying this because Sam pulled a fast one on everyone?
Sam Bankman Fried did pull a fast one and many are saying he is still doing so.
The wallets which hold the funds which were transferred to the corporate entity are moving from ethereum and tether into bitcoin today.
Around a $1.25 million worth as the articles are widely available at every cryptocurrency news outlet are reporting on this story.
If he wasn't just sent to his parents residence on a bond, he wouldn't have internet access to be doing this, who else would have access to these funds other than the ceo of said corporate entity?

From the looks of the score it was 3-3 when I turned it off as I had Brady at over 1.5 touchdowns too.
I think he only had one because it ended in a 19-16 score and they were driving down the field then I checked the next day it said OT so only a field goal.
Brady doesn't perform like he usually does closer to the end of the season.
So bye bye Brady for this season?
Atleast his new gf is showing her appreciation for him during the holidays.

"golden" age of fraud

hmm he is about 300 years out of date with that title
he forgets the fiat age of fraud last 100 years
and now the digital age of fraud
The collapse of 1907 shows this to be the truth as it was capitalized in the last video I posted at the very end:

I personally find it more sincere to call every cryptocurrency a scam, bitcoin included, rather than embracing every crypto and find everything in this sector totally honest.

However, a ponzi scheme has a leader, promised returns and is characterized by lack of transparency. While most crypto-projects have the former, I doubt there's one that fulfills all three. Therefore, disregard to Ben for that. As if we didn't already know that politicians take out the ponzi narrative once a while.

Nothing new. Haven't wasted a sec to watch the video though.
And that is your prerogative as so many others will take this avenue.
I am sure.
People don't like bad actors and Ben McKenzie certainly falls into this category. And I doubt anyone would disagree with this statement here as he is against all cryptocurrency including bitcoin with the publication of his book against it months before the collapse of FTX.
Now he is singing it's praises for foretelling of it's demise as a whole.
Which is far from the truth.

It will strengthen bitcoin in the coming months as I see it.
2059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Testimonial during cryptocurrency hearing -Ben McKenzie Crypto is a ponzi scheme on: December 27, 2022, 01:39:49 PM
There was something which came a few days ago that caught my eye since it does call upon the aftermath of what had transpired in the cryptospace within the last two months of the articles published by coindesk of FTX's commingling of funds between the two companies.
"The end of crypto?" - The Agenda with Steve Paikin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCNfltV5S1U

This video asks the speakers opinion's on how the industry will recover the reputation in the eyes of corporate entities in the space.
It always seems to come down to the question "Can you buy coffee with it?"

Watch it as it is not an anti-crypto video just like the previous one was with Ben McKenzie, who was in the court and sitting besides Kevin Oleary in the FTX hearing a few weeks ago.
They discuss about how this will impact retail investors and not just the VCs in the cryptospace.
2060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright might be Satoshi Nakamoto on: December 27, 2022, 12:53:11 PM
Maybe Craig Wright received this public addresses from satoshi or from somebody else. Maybe he even obtained them illegally. We can not know it. With bitcoin there are very specific and easy ways, to prove ownership. The public adress is not one of them.

... the address was used many times.

OP means that these addresses had incoming transactions but not one outgoing transaction. (in this case: no outgoing transaction = unused address)

Ok that makes sense.
It had been made public knowledge he did break into one of the first adopters of bitcoins house and stole some articles which were probably containing these addresses.
It was brought into a court of law and he was proven guilty to the crime.
If I am not mistaken he had been brought into court several times in the past few years about being satoshi and in all instances proven wrong by the judge in all cases. So he is certainly not the creator of bitcoin.
Only in his own mind but that is about it.
