True but how hard a fighter hits is just one part of the equation. There's also other stuff like fight IQ, strength of schedule, experience, etc.. etc. And Sandhagen is a pretty good fighter. Another thing is remember, this is for 5 rounds. I don't think Song Yadong has fought 5 rounds before. And sure he def has a chance to win it but I think the current line for both fighters is fair. Anyway, here's the Multi Master. UFC Fight Night 210 - Multi Masterhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5413434.0I know that Cory Sandhagen got some fight IQ, but what if he fights a similar fighter with the same fight IQ, I am not underestimating Sandhagen, in actuality I have bet for him at some point, but it all goes away, and in fact, I truly believe that he won against TJ Dillashaw, but against Petr Yan that is a different story, and for me Song Yadong also have that fight IQ, he defeated Marlon Vera, and now Marlon Moraes and I think he has the punching power that Sandhagen can not withstand, Updated on the UFC 279 fiasco, here is some Footage on what is happening backstage, Li Jingliang said that he was backstage when the altercation happen he said that Khamzat Chimaev was just friendly and saying hi to other he said hi to Jingliang, and then when Kevin Holland turn comes Kevin Holland think it was not a positive gesture, so he pushed Chimaev and then he said that Chimaev didn't give a shit at 1st, then Holland when out with D Rod, for the press conference, but when Holland comes back Chimaev then kick Holland then the brawl started that is when The Leech hold on to Chimaev and said it is not time, the video is not really full and we can not see that Jingliang has calm down Chimaev, Then Diaz and his group when in to throw bottle water at Chimaev, Meanwhile, Robert Whittaker said that when Chimaev said that he wants to train with Robert Whittaker, Whittaker replied absolutely and then can surely hunt some bad guys together, Song Yadong def didn't win vs Marlon Vera. Watch the match again. No way that was a unanimous decision for Song Yadong.. I think he even admitted to it after the event. Marlon Vera vs Song Yadonghttps://www.mma-core.com/videos/Song_Yadong_vs_Marlon_Vera_Full_Fight_UFC_on_ESPN_8_Part_1/10353007But yeah I'm just saying it won't be as easy as some folks think for Song. Sandhagen is durable, has more tools in his arsenal and he's been in 5 rounders vs two tough opponents. Song could be like a fish out of water if the fight goes deep into R4 and R5... Just my first impression of the match up. |

Not the best round for me - I dropped by 6 places in what proved to be a really difficult round to predict.
Congratulations to anybody with winning tickets, in the last 2 days I did not manage to win a single one.
Some big teams are in a lot of problems after the first 2 games, especially Juventus and Chelsea. Let's see if they find a way to dig themselves out of it.
Yeah losing the first match really wasn't a good look and it really cost them a lot as they should be getting it back at their second match... But no. I didn't watch the match, just saw highlights, but still disappointed to see them go 1 - 1 vs an inferior side. And at home too. :/ But I'm still hopeful for Potter. I've been yapping about him being a good manager. Now we'll see what he's like with a top club. What's different with Potter's style tho is whenever a winger has the ball, Sterling in this case, he let's Kovacic run through the half space instead of the usual dropping back and going deep. It builds a different dynamic and creates openings for Sterling. At least that's what the highlights showed... So dunno what's in store for them. Hopefully good. |

Hey guys, don't foget to place your predictions for Majestic 7. We have an early start with 2 games on Friday evening.
Seems like nice games to predict, and even more importantly there should be goals in all of them. Vila - Southampton thoughest one for me, thinking between Watkins and Ings.
Lol same and because Aston Villa is the home team but Southampton can score too.. But then in my heart of hearts I feel like Southampton is going to score the more likely goal through Che Adams. I kinda remember him hitting the cross bar a couple of times too. So he's a promising prospect for the Majestic 7 this coming weekend. My picks, follow at your own risk.  Mitrovic Adams Haaland Antonio Isak Kane Odeegard Mostly from the away teams except for Kane and Isak. |

Too much stuff going on everywhere with most countries on the brink of a recession. Hopefully it all turns around by the end of the year.
It is not bad to be optimistic, but the reality is something completely different, although different people from different countries always have different opinions and views on what is happening around us. It is difficult to expect that inflation will stop, especially by the end of the year, and that something more significant will change during the next year. The world is in a big problem, and I am afraid that it will take years to recover, and that if there is a real desire to do so. The best thing we can do is not to expect too much, because then you will not be disappointed with what will happen. If Bitcoin maintains its current value or increases it by 15-20% by the end of the year, I consider it a success all things considered. I guess by nature I'm innately optimistic. It's always about the silver lining. But ok, 'realistically speaking', what will the bottom for BTC look like for you? Will it drop to 12k - 15k or did we already see the bottom come in at 17.5 k - 18k? Anyway... I wanted to go offline for a while and spend some time by myself with no internet, TV, social media, markets, charts, etc... And the minute I go home I check the charts it's all bleeding red. :/ What did you guys do? Ugh. Actually I did the same, not just because I wanted to, but I was sick (food poisoning) in the last 24 hours. And then when I log-in, surprised to see that the market is bleeding, including stock market. And from what I understand, it has something to do with the Fed's announcement again. Nevertheless, we just need to stay calm, we still have 2 weeks at least this September and who knows, we might not be as bearish as we expected it to be. Yeah lots of folks here would deny it, not sure why, but BTC and most of crypto is closely more correlated that what anybody around these parts would tell you. Everytime US session starts if stocks bleed, crypto bleeds too. Switch to hourly and just look at what happened. BTC was grinding sideways til the US market opened making it go down again. Sadly Asia session is mostly gone as China already banned trading crypto. Anyway sentiment seems mixed with 17 votes saying 25k and 21 votes saying 15k. |

Watch the one vs Dillashaw. It's pretty close and most of the guys I know irl who are hardcore into betting MMA had it for Sandhagen. As for meI had it for Dillashaw but I only watched it live. Will watch the tape some time this week. I'm leaning Sanhagen at first glance as he fought better competition. And losing a close fight vs Dillashaw is alright and so is losing vs Yan. Both are excellent fighters and both are ex champs. Song could get schooled here.
Fight to watch for me is Njokuani vs Rodrigues. That's gonna be close.
Edit: The pie shitter of my lottery ticket is... Dawodu. I think I would've won my top two tickets if not for him.
For that fight, I really think that Cory Sandhagen won the fight The judges have counted it all wrong, but it was really a super close fight that Sandhagen had done much more in the 5th round but the judges still gives it to Dillashaw, but Sandhagen VS Song Yadong I really doubt Sandhagen could beat Yadong because for me I have seen how powerful the punch of Song Yadong, and like I have said Sandhagen could be technical here but Yadong also got that technicality while fighting, and that strength that Sandhagen doesn't have that could surely make Yadong win this fight, True but how hard a fighter hits is just one part of the equation. There's also other stuff like fight IQ, strength of schedule, experience, etc.. etc. And Sandhagen is a pretty good fighter. Another thing is remember, this is for 5 rounds. I don't think Song Yadong has fought 5 rounds before. And sure he def has a chance to win it but I think the current line for both fighters is fair. Anyway, here's the Multi Master.

There are only six races left in this season of F1.
Maybe Verstappen still hasn't guaranteed his championship mathematically but it would most probably happen after a few races the most. Because he is definitely unstoppable now as he has no competitor who can make difficulties for him in any race. Unless he has any issues with his car he should be able to win the remaining races as well. Ferrari's main focus should be not making any mistake on the remaining days. If they solve this problem maybe Binotto might not make much change in his crew. Otherwise Ferrari will need a big change to be competitive for the championship next season for real. As Mercedes will also be in a title rivalry most probably Ferrari will need to work even harder than now. Red Bull are already consistent so I don't have any doubt about them for next season as well.
Yup, the momentum is on Verstappen's side, he has one of the best technical teams in all of F1 and has one of the best strategic teams. It's close between Red Bull and Mercedes in terms if who has the best team. And I think the journalists like to use 'mathematically' just to keep everybody interested.  But the truth is it has gotten boring now. This season now is sooo far from what last season was like. |

the merge ethereum, between 13-15 september, this is a new ethereum system by shifting the consensus from POW to POS to reduce energy consumption, while the gas fee remains high so this will not be affected much for market price movements. so we can't expect much and 2k it could happen if the market improves, not because of the influence of ethereum but purely because of changes in the bitcoin market because we know ethereum is no longer significant in the eyes of crypto users
Wut? I think you're just plain wrong it's not even funny. I mean wtf? Are you blind? Check which chain has the most projects in terms of TVL, most volume and overall active development. It's all in Ethereum. I mean what are you even saying. And if anything, Ethereum has even become more significant now than ever before and it's just going to get more significant and other alt chains won't be able to surpass it. So the merge has a lot riding on it. Anyway... 10 votes says 1k and just three votes for 2k. |

Chimaev caused a total mess and I think he deserved to be pulled of this card, but that would ruin all training camp effort of his opponent. I think we are going to see lot of surprises after this shakeup and switch with main and co-main event, so will see who is better prepared for this. Just checking the odds on Sportsbet and I like the odds on Nate Diaz to win against Ferguson, and I think Holland can take one round from Chimaev. https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-279-chimaev-vs-diaz/matchesYeah, he probably should have been pulled. His attitude after it was terrible. I kinda really wanted to see him face Diaz and was one of the people thinking he could give him a good fight but after Nate's performance against Ferguson I think Chimaev would have also finished Nate off in the first round. No idea what Nate was doing. He spent half the fight walking around and at one point it seemed like he didn't even want to go on as he was just walking away shaking his head like he didn't even wanna carry on. I'm sure Nate will be back in the UFC soon enough. Looks like he's wanting some of that big boxing money but if someone like Jake Paul doesn't fight him he might not have many options. I'm sure there's been talks about fighting Jake but Jake has a lot of options. It would probably be an easy fight for Jake as well as just pure boxing isn't going to be Nate's strong point. I could see him coming back for the Connor trilogy seeing as McGregor is seemingly open to that. Connor is gonna need some easy fights to get himself back into the swing of things and seeing Diaz's performance I don't think it would trouble Connor as much as the first two. Thought Jingliang Li was robbed in his fight. No idea how a lot of these judges score fights but I haven't seen anyone saying D-Rod won that. The one time Diaz was by the cage with has hands hanging at the top railing was him talking to Dana and telling him that the new sponsor for the fighters' shoes suck. Lmaooo. Typical of Nate Diaz. The walking away, pretending to light a joint and other shenannigans in the cage he also did vs Leon Edwards. He's trying to get his opponents off guard I guess... And yeah he said at the post fight press conference that he's coming back in the UFC prolly after a stint at boxing. I'm pretty sure he wants the McGregor trilogy. Lots of money for him there. |

Aubameyang is 33 of age but still plays like a player's who is early 20's , Aubameyang can still be in a good firm in the next 3 years for Chelsea, just as Ronaldo who is in 36 but still doing better in his performance. Chelsea still need to have strong players to strengthen their squad.
Aubameyang and Ronaldo have very different characteristics and when compared, Aubameyang wins for good qualities because he can work well with the team, while for Ronaldo, even though he is a professional player and has a lot of experience in football championships, his character is what has been seen when he was at Manchester United, it is clear that his true nature is not friendly and cannot work as a team well. Eh? That's really not true. The only reason why Ronaldo isn't seen in a good light by his team mates right now at Man United is he doesn't fit the system they want to play. Whenever he's on the system must be built around him as he doesn't really offer much when the ball is with the opposing side. He doesn't press much as he should... And there's no comparison between Aubameyang and Ronaldo. Are you guys fking serious? Ronaldo is like a generational talent. He's up there with Messi. |

Yeah there are some grid penalties for quite many drivers right now. Verstappen can't take pole position for example as he has as a 5-place grid penalty. This could be a big chance for Leclerc to start in pole position easily. Ferrari supporters already want to see such result in this very important race for them. However this wouldn't be a big obstacle for Verstappen in the race also. Because if you look at the results of FP3 he is still faster than Ferrari drivers. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to catch up with Leclerc in the race.
Leclerc won't have Sainz behind him to stall Verstappen also because Sainz also has a grid penalty and he will start from the back. I wonder how good Leclerc will do alone against Verstappen. His rivalry with Hamilton in 2019 is still unforgettable and we might see a similar one between him and Verstappen this time.
The pole position will probably go to Ferrari. Most of the time we are talking about others who will end up with a bit of a problem in the long run due to penalties, so Ferrari and Charles will be the only one standing all alone. If he could just end up racing away at the start, nobody could catch up to him, but it also means that others would probably be riding better cars and they would be faster. So which is better, being 10+ even 20+ seconds ahead with a worse car, or behind but with a better car? Verstappen will have all the new changes and all the new machinery refreshed and he will be racing much faster, if Ferrari does a bad team order again, it is going to be very bad. What do you mean? Lol. The race is over. Are you talking about the Singapore GP which is two weeks away? And if you really are watching F1 you'd know that Ferrari can't just race away from the start. It's been the theme for almost the whole season now... Leclerc or some guy gets pole position and Verstappen just races the guys in front of him to with the race. So as I said, anything lined at 1.90 or more for Verstappen is an auto bet. Check the odds for him at the Singapore GP. It's now at 1.40. Crazy... I'd rather bet and know I'll lose money on Vettel at 1100. |

UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Song
Not so a great event but it still it is one of the decent events this year, now here are the fights that I am interested in, there are not many but still, I think I will look even further for other fighters that I haven't seen maybe I will look for them later but for now the fights that I am interested with Bantamweight: Cory Sandhagen vs. Song Yadong Here is one interesting fight I know Cory Sandhagen doesn't have the best record now because of his 2 consecutive losses, but he is one of the most technical fighters I know, but his opponent Song Yadong for me is more technical than Sandhagen, and seeing how he fight he got the power to knock out his opponent, especially Cory Sandhagen, this could be an easy fight if Song Yadong can land his punches with his fight IQ over Sandhagen for me I think Yadong all the way, Heavyweight: Tanner Boser vs. Rodrigo NascimentoHere I like Tanner Boser, but there is something to Nascimento that I surely need to check first for me this is going to be a brawl, and the one that has the huge advantage with his durability or has a great chin is the winner for this fight, Women's Bantamweight: Aspen Ladd vs. Sara McMann For a 41-year-old female fighter Sara McMann surely still does it all, for me, I may go with the young and a legit fighting kitten and that is Aspen Ladd, I know it looks like I am giving my picks early but this may change depending on updates for this upcoming fight, Watch the one vs Dillashaw. It's pretty close and most of the guys I know irl who are hardcore into betting MMA had it for Sandhagen. As for meI had it for Dillashaw but I only watched it live. Will watch the tape some time this week. I'm leaning Sanhagen at first glance as he fought better competition. And losing a close fight vs Dillashaw is alright and so is losing vs Yan. Both are excellent fighters and both are ex champs. Song could get schooled here. Fight to watch for me is Njokuani vs Rodrigues. That's gonna be close. Edit: The pie shitter of my lottery ticket is... Dawodu. I think I would've won my top two tickets if not for him. |

From the Rollbit Blog Introducing Clans: Beat the house with your friends 🎰I see this as a chance to create a clan specializing on a particular sport or game. For instance in Rugby where there are two disciplines: League and Union and the clan members can bring their knowledge to a team, the only thing with Rugby there isnt that many active in the thread, sadly. Wtf! I think this is one of the most super mega excellent ideas I've heard made by a sports betting site in a looong time. I'm gonna create a clan for UFC betting asap. I think we could get something good going here... We could start small and build a nice bankroll from scratch. Rollbit has been the most innovative book I've seen thus far. From their NFT staking stuff and now this with their clans idea. GJ guys. |

Because of that Scuffles and Khamzat Chimaev missed weighing maybe in purpose just to fight Kevin Holland it was a last-minute opponent switch and that is why I will also repost my prediction and picks for the UFC 279, it was a crazy thing on what has happened but here are my picks
Nate Diaz VS Tony Ferguson
The Stake odds for this fight are 2.19 for Diaz while 1.77 for Ferguson, Salute to Tony Ferguson for saving the UFC 279 event and saying that it is ok for him to switch opponents, it could surely save a lot of time and money in doing so, but as we all know this fight is undoubted needs to happen and both fighters really wants this fight and Tony Ferguson has done it again that is why Dana White loves this guy he saves another event he didn't need to do this, but for this fight, I am really super excited for this fight I think this could be a close match but both fighters are pretty much great and Diaz is great with boxing so Ferguson will surely have a problem about that but Ferguson has a great elbow that can cut his opponent so this fight might end up in a doctor stoppage kind of thing if Ferguson can cut Nate Diaz, that is but for me my pick will be Tony Ferguson,
Khamzat Chimaev VS Kevin Holland
Stake odds for this fight are 1.19 for Khamzat while 5.60 for Holland, right now this fight is a downgrade for Khamzat he doesn't really need to do this, but he did it on purpose and that is crazy just to fight Kevin Holland, Khamzat is losing the main event slot, and pay per viewpoints hurt his reputation and millions of dollar fighting Diaz, and yeah just because they started a fiasco I think there is nothing to win here, and it was crazy, now prediction for this fight, Kevin Holland also had the same weakness and that is when he was taken down by his opponent for me Khamzat Chimaev has the advantage here, and for Holland to win this he needs to strike Khamzat harder to the point he could make him knockout before he could be taken on a takedown, because if Khamzat do it will be like the fight with Jingliang that power from Khamzat is surely why he is in the advantage so my pick will be Khamzat Chimaev but I am not betting for this one,
Jingliang Li VS Daniel Rodriguez
The Stake odds for this fight are 2.32 for Jingliang while 1.70 for Rodriguez, after that switch, Li Jingliang pretty much badly wants that Ferguson fight, but after that switch, Jingliang is now at a disadvantage because of this and I really feel sorry for Jingliang and I hope the UFC will compensate him somehow his opponent Daniel Rodriguez is fighting a catchweight against Kevin Holland and switching that fight Jingliang is on a disadvantage but he still took this fight just for UFC 279 to continue, but man I wish Jingliang should get his compensation he lost a superstar of an opponent that is Ferguson, but because of this I think Daniel Rodriguez has the skill and boxing wise Rodriguez have the skill even though Li has the punching power, but technicality, I bent towards Daniel Rodriguez, and added up his weight for me my pick is Daniel Rodriguez,
Johnny Walker VS Ion Cutelaba
The stake odds for this fight are 2.75 for Walker while 1.52 for Cutelaba, Last fight for Cutelaba was against Ryan Spann and it was not really great for Cutelaba I thought he is winning but that guillotine choke was truly remarkable and a controversial stoppage against Magomed Ankalaev, for this fight Ion Cutelaba is truly remarkable but for me, I like Jhonny Walker because I love his antics I think if he can utilize those feints with the striking more gracefully and on time I think he can win against Cutelaba, last fight that I have seen was more on Feinting than hitting because he can surely go with his corners plan, but if he can capitalize those feint on his striking then he can surely win this,
I'm surprised the books lined Ferguson the slightt favorite here. I thought it would be a flip of the odds with Nate Diaz the slight favorite. The line is moving towards Diaz tho. Ferguson is now 1.81 at Stake and it could move more come fight day as there are lots of Diaz fans who want to pour money on him. Lol. And Ferguson did look good against Chandler at R1 but then that kick to the face happened at R2. :/ As for Li vs D Rod, dunno... I kinda like Li as the underdog here. Li has been around the block and could be a rough one for Rodriguez. |

So what's the grid gonna mostly likely look like with penalties for power unit and gear box changes from a few drivers happening this weekend? I heard Hamilton, Verstappen, Sainz and a couple others are getting grid penalties. Could this be finally Leclerc's chance to win a race? And it's an important race for the Ferrari too.
And Merc doesn't look too good after FP3. They're a tad more than 1 sec behind the leader which again is unsurprisingly Verstappen. I guess any line of 1.90 - 2.00 before the race is +EV. What do you guys think?

Uh oh. I'm watching the Live Weigh In show right now and I've been hearing from Cormier and the rest of the guys that some word is going around that Chimaev is having a little bit of a problem in losing the last pound or half pound of weight to make 170. If that's true the it could be a problem as there's a possibility that he'll be huffing and puffing by the third. Just like what happened in his match vs Burns. The thing is Burns slowed down too... Diaz won't. :/
Anyway can't wait for the face offs at the ceremonial weigh ins.
Edit: Chim is off by a lot. He weighed in at 178.5 lbs. That's not a good look imo.
