Some of the games this week and their odds looked too good to be true but anyway I'll take the risk and go against the under trend this time as I found the over 45.5 somewhat good on the Giants vs Lions game since the Lions can easily put up 20+ points and the Giants have been scoring 20+ points in their recent wins. The original line should be 44.5 but for some reason, sportsbet doesn't have it up while the alternate lines are available.
Congratulations on the over selection from what I remember of this past weekend the Lions scored alot of points but it was over 41 for the total. Just clicked on your betslip and it said you won it! So good timing on bucking the trend!

My overs all died from the weekend because all they did was kick for field goals and then there was the Vikings game where they only had 3 for the entire game. They just got destroyed.

This Thursday there is three matches going on for Thanksgiving!
Detroit Lions vs Buffalo Bills
Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants
Minnesota Vikings vs New England Patriots

They can be selected from the futures markets in the NFL from here if you want to put a bet on your favorites to celebrate  this American holiday after having a festive dinner:

Match fixes are quite common with that and there is even a documentary about it in Netflix, so you just know that if they have that they have substantial evidence with how corrupt it is in general. Having it titled as FIFA uncovered, it already says, corrupt I think. Lol
They are quite common but I don't believe with such a high profile event such as this one that only occurs every 4 years it happening.
If there is any corruption then I would assume the proper actions would be taken if there is any clear evidence of colluding with match fixing for the host.

The odds were 3.25x earlier today for Qatar but last I looked they have been increasing by 0.10x every so often.
So I don't think people are buying into the news of anything like this is actually happening. Especially for the very first match of the tournament.

Luckily the bet I had placed on the under 4.5 rounds did win as well, to my surprised because they were into the 5th. Don't ask me how but the bookies graded it as a win and obviously fight going the distance was graded as a no.

Should be a error somewhere so wouldn't be surprised if they resettle the bet later as a Loss or maybe a Void .
Anyways congrats on two solid wins, Pereira was a nice hit @2.7.
Going to sit down soon and have a look at the lines for the weekend, and solid tips?  Cheesy

Also a free chance for some freebets at the Weekly Multi Master:

Wasn't an error. It is rule to betting on UFC on over and under on rounds. If it went past 2:50 minute mark of the 5th round, it would of been over 4.5 rounds. It was called 2:59 by the referee as a technical knockout. So 9 seconds saved the bet.
That was close but it did infact win by the bookmarkers own rules to bettors of the UFC.

Derrick Lewis main event was cancelled for this bout due to illness. There wasn't much news about it yet but it was said he tried to return from the first attempt to leave the hospital to fight but couldn't.

Max took the pole and I must say that he is finishing this season of F1 in style and if he wins tomorrow and I assume he will , then he will have a magical season overall , that I don't think it will be topped soon.

Perez took second place and he almost had Max in Q3  Cheesy

Ferrari lads are 3 and 4 with a solid qualifiers as the purpose was clearly finish above Mercedes and they did.

Mercedes has a great pace on Sector 1 % 2 but on the 3rd one they are losing a lot of speed in the corners and they simply couldn't fight with RedBull and neither with Ferrari but race should be different.
It was a great looking qualifying for Max and for Red Bull overall with Perez getting so close to his Q3 timelapse.

Vettel getting into top 10 was a nice way to end his career and starting 9th on the grid is very good way to go out on this desert track.

Can't wait to watch it tomorrow for the last race of the season and hopefully it will an incident free one for atleast once during this year.

New promo's up, and this isn't something I normally shout about since I'm hardly in a position to wager with the big dogs, but looking at the requirements, it actually seems more than doable for some of you Sportsbet gamblers (I'm not kidding as I know I've seen the bets shared by some of you). It's only sports too, and on 1.5 min odds. I'd probably do a strategy of betting crazy odds on small amounts and then if win that, go bigger.

Been very lucky myself to experience a bit of that Sportsbet VIP treatment, but here's your chance to try...


https://sportsbet.io/promotions/07-11-22-your-road-to-the-vip-clubhouse
You are 100% correct @buwaytress : Favorites don't always win and besides Qatar are not that much of an underdog @3.15x compared to their opponents who were 2.68x last I looked at the odds. They have probably shifted abit since then but not by much since these country teams don't play each other too often so there isn't many past statistics on their previous encounters.

For the VIP Clubhouse competition, I have only gotten to 30th place with just over 100 tickets.
As soon as one player received over 8300 tickets I think the other competitors showed a slow down in their accumulation of tickets too.
But it runs until the 28th of the month, so still have a chance to get in the top 10 so to receive a prize.

Is this an extreme example of FUD being fabricated to discredit Crypto currencies and Crypto casinos? ==> https://ftxcollapse.org/breaking-news-sbf-lost-over-100m-gambling-at-online-casinos/  - "All the deposits were made to such casinos as Stake, LTC Casino, and Bitcasino."
I mean..... why do you register a domain specifically to focus on the FTX Collapse? ftxcollapse.org ....is this a butthurt person that lost money on the exchange or is this opportunistic enemies that are actively attacking the competition?
I'm sure he's part of one of them but what's written in the article can be traced even if what is said is true, it does not discredit the casino
because the risk of gambling is between winning or losing nothing strange here. The drama is getting more and more interesting and is now targeting the casinos  Roll Eyes
When the media first reported that the owner lost all customer's funds on the exchange, you would automatically think in trading with high leverage.
Not on an actual casino. Wonder if they can actually backup and find concrete evidence that those funds were gambled away like all the major media outlets have said when this all came to light.
Because as I had already said, when they connect gambling with customer funds you as a cryptocurrency user would think within trading platforms and not on the very same online casinos you have visited and probably haven't returned to.

With Pereira who won the middleweight title, all these contenders are coming out calling him out on media saying they want a shot at him next.
Unfortunately that isn't how it works, the ultimate one who has the word on that is the head of the UFC. Dana White will announce who he will fight next.
His post fight interview he did have alot to say and even says he was going through some issues before the fight.

But that doesn't change that he still lost and in the worst way, half-way through the fifth and final round.

Put in a Qatar win on the 4-3-free, and a US draw against Wales in the Bet-free-6, these are my only upsets, the rest I've gone with comfortable wins for the favourites.

Couldn't help myself and put down another outright, will add one tomorrow morning, and then the games start proper and I see how far I go.

Total USDT balance will be 570, but plenty of bets already placed, so hoping to at least come out on top, but gunning for the full 1000 target by the final Wink
Qatar on win? I doubt that. Unless the game is to be manipulate in their favor since they are the host. I believe they can do whatever it takes to win the opening game though, In my opinion team Ecuador is the favorite in taking the whole three points. However, I would play ov1.5 in order to be on a safer side when I am ready to place my bet. I hope your already placed bet comes out green. It hurts to lose at a time like this when market is playing ludo.
This is for the 4-3-free promotion on sportsbet so it does not require you to spend anything to place your selection on this match. Only if you had placed a bet on the site you can use the promotion. It is available here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/4-3-free

I had originally had it to end in a draw, no goal, corners 11-12.
But have since changed it to Qatar, 1 goal, method Penalty, corners 0-6.

You can change your selection up until the match begins, so just over 2 days left until the inaugural match of the event starts.

Mercedes did surprise many at the Brazil track getting a one two podium win. I really thought Hamilton was the one who was going to win and he could of but decided to let Russell finish on how he started, ahead of the pack.
Ferrari to me are really doing poorly and I doubt they will finish in the top 10 this coming race in Abu Dhabi.

I will be putting my bets on a Red bull or Mercedes finish this weekend to round off the season.

Adesanya- Pereira going to be a wild one  Shocked
Both fighter's will ensure a great fight as they are both very skilled fighters. They both have different reasons for fighting, Israel will be fighting not to loose again to Pereira who remains the only fighter to have knocked him out, and Pereira will be fighting to ensure he wins again. Israel has more experience in the MMA than Pereira, maybe that will count, But Pereira is who I see will win.
Doing what he said he was going to do.

Israel has more experience in the MMA than Pereira, maybe that will count, But Pereira is who I see will win.

It was a good enough fight, although not that entertaining. It was very obvious how Adesanya was not taking too much risk. That's understandable because he is facing against somebody he knows very well, somebody who already defeated him not just once but twice. And that was perhaps the reason why Pereira defeated him once again, the third time around. Pereira must have a big psychological effect on Adesanya. Adesanya could hardly get aggressive.

I'd say Poirier vs Chandler was the more entertaining match, although both matches had a great ending.

Adesanya knows how hard Pereira's punches are he talks about it when Strickland fought Pereira, he is fully aware so he never takes a chance and he can't do what he always does, Adesanya fought fighters with hard punches in the past but the fear of going down again by Pereira's punches haunts him, he should have fought Pereira in the floor in the 5th round by taking him down because it will take the gas out of Pereira but he chooses to face him standing and do counter punch but it backfire, I still want to see a rematch I hope Izzy is ok now and find his way up again, he still has it.
The fighter who wants to fight Pereira is the one who Adesanya beat, Whittaker.
Him also saying he would wanted to be his next opponent has received alot of attention.

I still believe Adesanya still has it. He can still dominate other talented fighters out there. This is a different fight he had just against Pereira. He probably didn't have 100% confidence against the man. He obviously was too cautious. He knew Pereira very well. He knew he was already defeated twice. He knew Pereira's power because he was already a victim of it. Not only was Pereira's punches hard-hitting, they were also accurate.

But despite this, it was Pereira who was actually saved by the bell right in the opening round. The scorecards were all in favor of Adesanya. I think it was in the third round when Adesanya took down Pereira to the ground even if he was already raining punches on him. I guess he could actually have finished him right there and then hadn't he decided to be cautious and go for the take down.
Israel was 3/1 favorite to win before the combination of punches that Alex threw and if he survived the final round, he would of won, according to the scorecards.
It was a thrilling fight and not one to forget for along time to the former champ.
Adesanya is probably still reeling from the fight because several days later he was detained at New York's airport before going back home:
https://nypost.com/2022/11/16/israel-adesanya-arrested-for-carrying-brass-knuckles-at-jfk

He mentioned right after the fight he had to deal with some issues physically but probably mentally as well.

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
Yeah, the TSM players can wait and they had the longest one of 10 years with the name but they had multiple deals in all the different esports leagues.
The team I couldn't remember was Furia, the hosts of the Intel Extreme Masters tournament in Brazil.
https://esportsinsider.com/2022/11/furia-cancels-ftx-sponsorship-after-crypto-exchange-files-for-bankruptcy

The company also were the official League of Legends championship series exchange partners.
"The deal immediately raised eyebrows from the esports community, as this announcement comes just months after LCS denied TSM from using FTX branding. Sources told Dot Esports that as part of the deal, Riot will have the ability to remove the branding from assets on applicable international broadcasts where cryptocurrencies are ‘strictly regulated.’
On the contrary, editing physical assets, such as logos on a TSM jersey, are not as plausible."

I already locked my bet on the under 42.5 and I hope they burn a lot of time each drive as the Titans' totals in their last 4 have gone under 40 points and one of those games was against the Chiefs. The head-to-head of these two teams is pointing towards the over but I can't take it since the defense of both teams have been doing well even though some sites have them at the bottom of the rankings.
I was watching the lines on this match since late last night and couldn't decide on who to go with.
But with the Titans only showing the running game and hence burning the clock is the more likely outcome of them not scoring very much, I went with the Packers.
The spread was 40.5 when I placed my bet so the under 42.5 pts is a good call to make.
Good luck to us both with our bets tonight!

It seems to be stable at 20.000 until FTX. Panic sells thier BTC. There is still fear that BTC will fall because the contagion as they call it is still there. If it doesn't fall despite the next domino falling, I guess no one sells anymore but just those fraction that we see right now. Been observing for hours the biggest I saw on the orders was 0.5BTC.
Orders of 0.5btc are quite large for one trade. But in the environment that we are in right now, this isn't so surprising.
People want to get their bitcoin and any others coins off exchanges immediately from actions of the past week.
There is even a PSA on the top of the forums put up due to these series of events that wasn't there the last time I was on here at the beginning of the week.
Which exchange might I ask were you referring to with these sort of orders totaling 0.5btc per trade? They must be a regulated one because non-KYC exchanges have probably limited their withdrawal amounts from those events occurring.

With the Washington Commanders stunning the Eagles early this week the only undefeated team has been taken down.
It was eventually going to happen but by a team that wasn't doing too great was a shock to the Philadelphia fans and the NFL viewers for MNF.
Green Bay are doing the same and coming out of their slum and salvaged their season with a win in their last game.
Can they do the same tomorrow when they face off against a very good Tennessee Titans team?
If you think they can then why not place a bet on the match?
