2122  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for October on: October 28, 2022, 03:27:13 PM
Mini bullrun?  Undecided
I think it is only a common increase, and the increase isn't so significant.
If Bitcoin price can survive above $20k throughout November, it is very possible that Bitcoin price won't drop to $18k - $19k again.
However, if there is big news about a recession in the next year, I guess Bitcoin may have a new ATL (below $17k).
I'm sure it's not a bullrun or whatever term they say about those small gains.
In fact an increase like this can be considered normal because some news has made the market sentiment change where there is an increase in demand in the market. But an increase like this will not last much longer because there are many negative issues that can affect investors' interest in buying lots.

Actually I didn't expect the price to drop to $17K or lower, but considering the recession issue then I would consider it a risk to be more prepared for market conditions. Even if I want to buy every dips, then I will really consider DCA so I can take better chances to accumulate.

I think our concern is not whether the price could go up significantly, how ever we call them.

But where the bottom price will be in this bearish market. So far the lowest low is $17,500, but who knows, we might see a new record next year. it's important because we can really gauge how deep the market will be and what is the potential growth in the future. For this month, we can simply say that the price could be just above $20K and I think we should be happy that we will end this month at that price.

^  Yup.  We really couldn't expect BTC and all the other alts to claw their way up from here and recover all the ground lost since November last year.  :/  I mean with everything that's going on all around the world.  Buuut we should like what we're seeing right now too.  BTC never went below 18k for long and now it looks like 20k is gonna hold too.  I won't mind if the market loses momentum and goes side ways again from here on out as long as 18k - 20k holds...  I'd consider it a win.

I locked the poll a couple of days ago.  No use trying to get the sentiment for the month through the poll when the month is almost over.

^  You know I'm a Red Bull fan but I find myself kinda mostly agreeing with you.  It's way too soft.  The FIA should've done something like get the driver's championship from Verstappen and penalize him and the team by point reduction of -130 points.  That way Verstappen has 261 points vs Leclerc's 267 points which should make the season ending in a more exciting fashion.  Grin

They could even do -140 point reduction which would make it even more exciting with just three races to go.  Lol.
2124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2022/23 | Group Stage on: October 28, 2022, 02:19:54 PM
Atletico Madrid and Tottenham just destroyed my parlay last night. It was unbelievable to watch the moments after Atletico Madrid won a penalty in the last minute. A save by the goalkeeper, a shot coming back from the goal post... It was really devastating for me to see them wasting a huge chance which cost them the Champions League as well.

Tottenham on the other hand shocked me. I don't know how they couldn't beat Sporting home. Getting a win in this match was going to secure last 16 for them by the way. This should have been another motivation source for them. But instead they started the match terrible. There was nothing good in them in the first half. They even barely scored the equalizer in the last ten minutes. Conte must do something immediately as they are bad not only here but also in the EPL.

^  Player fatigue.  There's no way he can do anything about it and it's just gonna get worse during winter.  Conte needs to take his players somewhere sunny to train and recover.  Alex Ferguson used to do that btw. He'd take his squad during winter to Dubai or somewhere in the middle east.  And it works.

But yeah, CL football is one of the hardest betting markets to beat consistently.  If you're betting in these matches, it's prolly better to just be betting them for fun.

^  I haven't really been watching a lot of the EPL but I kinda expected Newcastle to do a bit better than they did during seasons prior as they're being backed financially by Saudi oilers now.  And they're manager is decent.  I've always rooted for Eddie Howe and have said that he's gonna be a manager of a bigger club in the coming years.  I guess this is his big break.

I think they're doing a lot better than they're getting credit for, just because they have a blank cheque which haven't been put to a full use yet and their biggest signing have barely been of much use too, meanwhile the team seem to be highly motivated.

They've lost just only one game (to Liverpool, which was a 98th minute goal, as well) despite having played against teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and even this season's somewhat impressive at the early stage's Brighton, I'd say that deserves some commendation to say the least, and despite all of these aforementioned fixtures, they've conceded the least amount of goals compared to any other team in the league, only City, Chelsea and Arsenal comes joint second in the aspect, meanwhile they've all played a fixture less than Newcastle.

Newcastle also have one of the best goal difference +10 or goal scored to goal conceded ratio 2:1 in the league currently as well, also only just Man City and Arsenal (slightly) have done better in that aspect.

For what it's worth, I think their season so far is nothing short of a brilliant success, considering the fixture they've played so far and what's left for the first half of the season, it probably can only get better, however, that's just my personal opinion and it's solely based on an informed guess..

It's hard to disagree with you there with how good they're running so far.  I'm rooting for them to finish top 4 and I guess they could steal some more points in the reverse fixtures from some of the supposed most likely clubrs to finish top 4 like City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal.

But yeah..  This round of matches looks like it's easier to predict than the last couple match days.  Good luck to everybody.

So you guys think Leicester can get a goal in vs City or is there some value in City win to nil at 2.32?
2126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 28, 2022, 02:02:27 PM
^  I heard some rumors swirling around that Jones vs Miocic isn't really happening and that it doesn't really make much sense from Jones point of view. If the UFC is gonna match Jones with Miocic, it has to be a main event.  But then again in what kind of event?  A PPV with no belt on the line?  And they can't make it a co main event either as Jones would prolly not want a fight that's not a main event or without a belt.  Dunno...  But judging from Jones' history of dealing with the UFC, the rumor makes sense.  There could be some truth in it.

A few days ago I encountered news of Jones claiming to fight Miocic at UFC 282 which is on December 10. I think UFC 282 is clearly to be headlined by the rematch between Prochazka and Teixeira, so maybe Jones is now willing to fight as an undercard as long as it guarantees a title fight or main event next. Although the date is less than 2 months already and we do not even know if Miocic agrees to a late notice fight. I've been following athletes on Facebook and Twitter and it seems Miocic is not in serious training mode. Obviously, Miocic would've signed a contract earlier if he is keen on fighting this December.

Maybe...  But dunno, if nothing's confirmed then it's all air at this point.  But if it were all up to me, I'd looove to see Jon Jones back in the cage.  Be it at 205 or as a heavy weight.  He's always been a delight to watch...  And fighting as an under card would make a lot of sense as Jones might not be able to fight a 5 rounder at the point of his return.

Anyway, live weigh ins will start in a couple hours or so.

@tokeweed even I’m kinda surprised that Max won, and it seems that he’s yet hungry to win more races and further it’s clear that he won’t let his opponent’s win even a single race. Furthermore I expect Max to once again be competitive, and besides him I feel that Hamilton can win the Mexican GP and Ferrari as usual will be happy to just race and won’t win this race too.

I wouldn't exactly say 'surprised' as Red Bull has one of the best drivers currently in F1 and still has the car on the grid.  It was more like a situational bet.  You get a scenario that Verstappen's opponents should've taken advantage of.  Especially Ferrari.  But due to Sainz's DNF and Leclerc moving down to 12 on the grid, how could they?  It's prolly just not meant to be.

Anyway how many more races?  Mexico, Brazil and back to the middle east?  I want it to be the next season please...  Lol.  There's nothing to anticipate in this one.

Congrats to Darbit and LFC_Bitcoin on the yellow cap,we are sharing this prize so pretty happy with the week. Didnt expect in the end three yellow caps but thats how intresting it was. Also too bad Bournemouth didnt score at least one goal they were playing so good in the end of the match but not much chances for them.

It was a terrible week for me in the pool, I was able to rack up just 4 points in total and I dropped by 5 places all the way to 15th, Kudos to all of you guys sharing the yellow cap because It wasn't an easy week and and 10.5 points as the joint best also shows how tough the week was on an average.

I was also rooting for Bournemouth to score a goal, I had BTTS on a bet slip and I also went with 2-1 in the pool, so it could have been a win-win situation had that happened.

It was a terrible week for most. I was one point away from my second wooden spoon of the season. Lots of upsets. Nobody predicted Liverpool losing and only one person backed the Arsenal/Southampton draw. Only one person backed Newcastle to beat Spurs as well. The chubby chipmunk-faced cunt that is Casemiro caused me from losing the exact score in injury time. Anyone who got more than a handful of points from this week did very well.

...  Checks the results...

Wasn't me.  Lol.  But decent.  Still not enough to break top 20 tho.  I just need a couple of lucky weeks.

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva  (Saturday)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418308.0

And while I'm leaning Anderson Silva to win the match via unanimous decision, a funny thought came in my head that it's in the realm of possibility that Silva could get KO'd by Jake Paul.  Cheesy  Omg if that happens as boxing fans will def have a field day making fun of MMA fans and we wouldn't see the end of it.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

This is a dog and pony show that piques my interest.  But I'm not really sure why Jake Paul is a huge favorite at 1.49.  Does the crowd really think Anderson Silva has less than 50% chance of winning?

Anybody itt a Tottenham fan?  If you are a fan I think you should start getting worried.  Lol.  The cracks are starting to show in Conte's squad.  I think all the intense training during the summer is also starting to take a toll.  I heard that some players were throwing up on the pitch due to Conte's methods.  It now looks like player fatigue which usually starts around December has started to show a month early in Conte's squad.

Another club that could turn for the worse because of player fatigue is Liverpool.

I made my predictions quickly without thinking at all.
If I win something this time it will be big miracle and surprise for me Smiley

Important UFC news I heard few days ago, Jon Jones said he is preparing to fight with Stipe Miocic at UFC 282, and this fight should happen in this year 2022!
I can't wait to see how Jones first fight in heavyweight division will look like, and Miocic is perfect opponent for him.
Let me say that I expect one of this two guys to finish the fight on floor.

Yup me too.  Lmao.  There are lots of greasy match ups from top to bottom at the next event.  Durden vs Mota is greasy, so are Hooper vs Garcia, Holmes vs Park, Arlovski vs De Lima, Dolidze vs Holmes...  Omg all the way to the top that I don't need to post them one by one.  They're all greasy.  Betting on most of the underdogs could get you a bet or two ahead for the event.  Lol.

But yeah it's def good entertainment to see underdogs win.  Hopefully Tim Means wins his what think is his last match in the UFC.

Locking the poll now as it would be pointless to still have with just 5 days left in the month.  Not that it matters...  There's just 9 of you who voted.  That hardly tells anything about what the real sentiment for the ETH market is.  There were 5 out of 9 who thought it going down tho.

So I'm thinking the sentiment next month will be so positive but in the last couple weeks of the month, it all goes tumbling down once again  :/

Jon Jones just tweeted that he's preparing to fight stipe in December: https://twitter.com/JonnyBones/status/1584987131524812801

I'll believe that when I see it. I hope he fights this year though so they can set up a match between him and Ngannou. Both will need tune up fights for that though.

Looks like Khamzat Chimaev v Colby Covington is in the works for UFC 285 as well and the winner gets a title shot. I think that will be a good match up. Colby will give him a good match up but Chimaev is too good right now.




Am I the only guy who's starting to think Chimaev vs Covington could end up just like Makhachev vs Oliveira?  I'm pretty sure lots of the fans and betting degens would end up split in the picks with some going back and forth between Chim and Covington.  Grin  And in the end of it all Chin lined at something like a 1.70 favorite before the fight then looking like a 1.35 favorite after the match.  Another one of those things that says 'what did everybody expect'.

And I'm looking at the score at Flash Score right now and it's still nil - nil and it's almost close to HT.  I think it's Firminho who's gonna get one in.  :/

I normally pick Diaz or Bobby in times when Salah's not on form, and I know I should go for Nunez if/when he plays full 90. Salah still always a great bet as he's also pen taker, and once the floodgates turn back on...



Dunno man...  If I was playing in Trofo's FPL, I think I'd already drop Salah more than a couple of weeks ago if I have him.  I mean it's too early to say if he's done but that doneness is slowly giving birth.  Next season will be very crucial for him.  If he still doesn't perform then he's giving the club the ticket to drop him and sell while there's still some value left.

As for who to pick if not Salah, those other guys aren't really stepping up like Mane used to step up.
