Who fancies Hamilton to get the win at the Belgian GP? Leclerc and Verstappen are starting from the back of the grid and so are Ocon, Norris, Schumacher and Bottas for taking in new parts for their power units. I'm thinking Leclerc on pole, Verstappen could get the fastest lap at the race and Hamilton to win it... What do you guys think?
There isn't much threat on Hamilton imho except his team mate, Alonso and Sainz.

Decent main event. The Tapology guys have Demetrious Johnson to win but I dunno... The match is going to be at 135. Johnson seems small for 135 being at 5'3" with a reach of 66". The Moraes guy is younger and bigger, Johnson is already 36 years old. I'd guess that it could be his last fight and he'll retire after the match win or lose. But I haven't watched their first match to gauge where Johnson is at and make a lean. I'll prolly watch it later... Here's the vid of their first match in case you guys want to watch too. https://www.mma-core.com/videos/Adriano_Moraes_vs_Demetrious_Johnson_Full_Fight_ONE_on_TNT_1_Part_1/10391007And where can we drop some action on ONE FC? WOW! you got a way of finding things just by searching the internet, it will surely provide some decent information on how their first meeting concluded, but surely Adriano Moraes when fighting Demetrious Johnson will always have his advantage, with his weight, height, and reach and younger than Johnson, you can see Moraes can easily get on top when they are on the ground and Johnson had a hard time getting Moraes out, they should have a different division for Moraes and Johnson in my opinion, Lol. It's all in the very first post of our UFC thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139347.0I thought everyone already knew about MMA Core and always assumed that almost everybody has been doing some tape study before the events.  Anyway all the sites to find basic info for the fighters are all there including stats, records, odds and fighter profiles. Enjoy...  And does anybody know if the ONE in Prime event would be streamed in ONE's Youtube's channel? |

^ But you gotta give some credit to Man United and Ten Hag by making the right choice of dropping Maguire and Ronaldo. I do hope next time we see that squad but with Martial at the left instead of Elanga. But yeah... I think their win was a fluke. Liverpool wasn't that bad. It's just United made most of their possessions while Liverpool did not. This weekend I'm guessing Southampton could be a problem for them.
Draw no bet for Southampton is 3.05, double chance is at 2.07. United hasn't won a match in their last 7 away matches.
That's dangerous but not impossible tips I'm not sure they'll let go of the fire in their eyes against poor Soton, but the team appears to want to fight for the badge. I haven't seen that from them in a long time, though Manchester United tends to perform better against the top six teams when they meet. In this game, I can't pick a 1x2 winner. Manchester United FC Highest Scoring Half; 2nd half @2.24 Nice one. That line isn't bad at all. Thanks...  Yeah, in hindsight I was thinking more about Man United's win was more like a fluke and they have not been winning for the last 7 away matches or so. Southampton has also been scoring some goals in all their league matches so far. So yeah, another nice bet could be BTTS and the over 2.5 goals combo. Haven't checked the line on that ye tho but if anything close to 1.90 and above, that would be a decent bet imho. |

I'm more excited to see Diaz than Chimaev as Chimaev's stock went down when he fought Burns imho. Watch this...
I'd agree, but I actually think Burns is underrated, he was giving Usman problems, right up until he discovered Burns doesn't like the jab. Honestly, I see Burns getting the belt if he can sort out that jab issue he has. He probably has some of the most lethal ground game in the division, and he can bang. Chimaev, I'm not actually a fan of, but I think he makes a mockery of Diaz. I probably won't be betting on that fight, since the odds will be absolutely awful, unless you're going for Diaz. I'm just not convinced Diaz has it in him. Yup, no value on Chimaev. He's at 1.08 and Diaz is at 8.40. I just feel like Diaz doesn't care anymore. Chimaev will win the match but he won't be given the satisfaction of the win because Diaz could not be training right now and might just take the fall and make it really obvious that he took the fall. Dunno... But watch the BMF match between Masvidal and Diaz. ... I think Diaz was thinking "wups, ref stopped the fight, give me my money.". Watch it. Masvidal vs Diaz BMFhttps://mmacore.tv/videos/Jorge_Masvidal_vs._Nate_Diaz_Full_Fight_UFC_244_Part_1/10330240 |

^ Some football journos have been writing about Alex Ferguson's winning season when they lost the first couple league matches then came out winning the whole thing in the end. Btw.. Nice bets. Curious what made you go for Man United. Was it because the match was at Old Trafford? |

Yeah, happy to see the summer break is over. Red fans are gonna take this on the first race after the break. Did you guys see other red fans of Manchester United win Againts Liverpool and Ducati take a podium. Could be Ferarri taking the podium on Spa ~XD. I'm hoping Tifosi are gonna to celebrate for the win after this break ~XD. Lol. Not with their team's bad decisionsin the heat of the race they won't. It's just blunder after blunder with those guys. And don't fade the books when it comes to F1. They have a strong sense of what's going on. Trust me... I know. So if the books say Verstappen is 1.90 to get pole at quali this weekend and Leclerc at 2.75, just stick with Verstappen. But I wouldn't touch that line. No value. Leclerc has some value but at 2.75, def not enough meat in the bone to make it worth it... But I'd say watch out for the Mercedes. I think they're finally getting it together. |

I'm looking forward to the Chimaev vs Diaz fight. Goosebumps. Chimaev is crazy and i think Chimaev will dominate in every match he fights. However as the fight dragged on i observed Chimaev falling out of shape. If Diaz manages to prolong the fight i think he has a chance. But i did not see anyone who could stop Chimaev. I'm looking forward to the fight of the two madmen. I hope they meet each other at the press conference.
I'm more excited to see Diaz than Chimaev as Chimaev's stock went down when he fought Burns imho. Watch this... UFC Free Fight: Chimaev vs Burnshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24B6AEow9oYBut it's gonna be a lopsided match up with all the advantages going to Chimaev's way. I mean Diaz is really just a 155'er. Chimaev is the bigger guy who can fight in both 170 and 185. So yeah... Chim is prolly gonna rag doll Diaz in the cage for the first couple of minutes before finding the finish. Dunno.. We've been surprised a whole lot before. Just last weekend we've been surprised. |

I think the next event was the LFA 140, which will be up on August 26, next was the anticipated UFC Fight Night Paris, where I got to see Cyril Gane back in action, but before these events, there will be a ONE Championship 160: Le vs. Tang event on Friday, same as LFA 140 August 26, but here is the fight event if you know any fighter then make your pick
I am more interested in watching One Championship event starting day after with main event Demetrious Johnson vs Adriano Moraes for Bantamweight Championship belt. Never before I saw one organization making two events in two days, but second one is targeted more for viewers from Unites States and Canada and it will be broadcasated on Prime. Before One events there is also warm up with Week 5 of Dana White Contender Series worth watching. Well, I think you talking about the ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson 2 we can surely put it here for discussion and I can surely provide my picks and what I think and what may to the fights, and here are the details of the event and after seeing this event I was interested with a certain Fighting Kittens and that are Amber Kitchen, Diandra Martin, Itsuki Hirata and Heqin Lin ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson 2Friday 08.26.2022 Location: Singapore  MAIN CARDBantamweight: Adriano Moraes VS Demetrious Johnson Featherweight: Nong-O Gaiyanghadao VS Liam Harrison Bantamweight: Rodtang Jitmuangnon VS Savvas Michael Heavyweight: Marcus Buchecha VS Kirill Grishenko Heavyweight: Amir Aliakbari VS Mauro Cerilli Bantamweight: Superlek Kiatmoo9 VS Walter Goncalves PRELIMINARY CARDBantamweight: Amir Naseri VS Jonathan Haggerty Woman Bantamweight: Diandra Martin VS Amber Kitchen Woman Strawweight: Itsuki Hirata VS Heqin Lin Middleweight: Zebaztian Kadestam VS Iuri Lapicus All information was from TAPOLOGYDecent main event.

I still believe that Ethereum can breakout this month from $2000,
even though it's now down at $1600 I'm still very confident that it can recover quickly,
indeed August will soon be over, and we know we are still in a bearish season,
but we also have to know there is good news in september regarding Ethereum Merge, so I am very bullish for Ethereum
After these last couple of days, I'm starting to doubt it. We have like just a week to go before the month ends. So yeah, no expectations here but if it goes over 2k and stays there by end of August, cool. And if not, whatever. We'l move on to the September sentiment poll and see. Lolol. Let's take it month by month and before you know it, it's the kind of bull market when you just buy any coin and it pumps no matter how dumb it is. I miss it. Looking at the ETH chart right now. Looks like it's just going sideways down there. Maybe the calm before the pump? Cope. Lol. |

In F1 we have a salary cap.
The teams can't spend over a fixed amount of money during the whole season.
Considering the world inflation, the FIA decided to give teams an "Inflation bonus" and teams can now spend 4 more million USD during the season.
Is it the same amount for all the teams or is it bigger for the top three teams, namely Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari? And even if it's the same across the board, I think the team that would benefit from it the most if... *drum roll*... Mercedes. I'm not saying is a bad thing or anything. They're at the cusp of rediscovering themselves. A little more nudge and I think the could be winning races for the rest of the season. Both Ferrari and Red Bull should watch out. Anyway... Spa this weekend folks. 2022 F1 Belgian GP ScheduleTrack: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps  Practice 1: FRI 14:00 - 15:00 Practice 2: FRI 17:00 - 18:00 Practice 3: SAT 13:00 - 14:00 Qualifying: SAT 16:00 - 17:00 Race: SUN 15:00 - 17:00 |

Two fighters unofficially retired from UFC after this weekend, that is Luke Rockhold 37 years and Jose Aldo 35 years. Both of them are amazing and they had fantastic fights in their carrier but I think it's correct for them to stop fighting at this point. I will always remember how Luke Rockhold smearing his blood all over Costa face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLXTm5yP7aAWha? Aldo too? Man... I guess it's time. But he's been looking good at 135 except for 278 and the match vs Yan. It would've been nice if he would go for it one more time. He could beat Dvashjsja.. Let's call him Merab. Aldo could def beat Merab on a good day. It's just Aldo didn't fight like he usually does against him at 278. It was weird.
Leon Edwards showed his comeback in the fifth round after Usman took control of the scorecard dominance from the previous few rounds, I almost celebrated Usman's victory in the fifth round but who knows if 60 seconds could have changed the world, Leon Edwards threw his deadly kick at Usman's head until he knocked him down and the referee also stopped the fight for Leon Edwards with a TKO victory. The match was incredible even though Usman failed to defend the title, so congratulations to Leon Edwards on an incredible win in UFC title fight history.
Pretty much Leon Edwards has failed to be dominant towards Usman like what he did in the 1st round, his ground game was superb and pretty much Kamaru Usman had a hard time getting out from those leg lock pretty much after that Leon Edwards just forget about their game plan and that is how Kamaru Usman dominated the 3 next rounds, so for me, there will definitely a rematch in the making, Kamaru Usman will not let his belt stay on Leon Edwards for soo long, he will surely try and take it back,
Next UFC event now that everyone is exploring other memes of Kamaru Usman on the web, right now on the next event we will have an exciting match and that is the UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. TuivasaSaturday 09.03.2022 Location: Paris, France  MAIN CARDHeavyweight: Ciryl Gane VS Tai Tuivasa Middleweight: Robert Whittaker VS Marvin Vettori Middleweight: Alessio Di Chirico VS Roman Kopylov Lightweight: Nasrat Haqparast VS John Makdessi Bantamweight: Taylor Lapilus VS Khalid Taha Featherweight: Charles Jourdain VS Nathaniel Wood PRELIMINARY CARDWomen Featherweight: Zarah Fairn VS Ailin Perez Lightweight: Benoit Saint-Denis VS Gabriel Miranda Middleweight: Nassourdine Imavov VS Joaquin Buckley Featherweight: Ricardo Ramos VS Danny Henry Lightweight: Fares Ziam VS Michal Figlak Middleweight: Dustin Stoltzfus VS Abusupiyan Magomedov CANCELLED CARDKatlyn Chookagian vs. Manon Fiorot - Bout Rescheduled Makhmud Muradov vs. Abusupiyan Magomedov - Muradov Withdrew Changed with Dustin Stoltzfus Jéssica Andrade vs. Manon Fiorot - Andrade Injury Benoit Saint-Denis vs. Christos Giagos - Giagos Injury Darian Weeks vs. Cédric Doumbé - Doumbé Withdrew Information was from TAPOLOGYThis event is gonna be good. 4 good match ups imo... Imavov vs Buckely, Jourdain vs Wood, Whitaker vs Vettori and the main event. Edit: Sucks. It's on the next weekend after the coming weekend. :/ |

So, who's had the worse start to the season? United or LFC It's expected of Man United to find themselves in another hilarious scenario, so I'd say Liverpool. They were expected to be title contenders before the season started and just a whisker away behind Man City. Now it looks like they're in a bit of a rut and the Klopp era could also be somewhat taking a rest if they can't get back to top form. But we'll see.. It's not over yet and City isn't perfect as Eddie Howe just showed. All in all, this looks to be like a very interesting start of the season we've seen in a while. And I'm not looking at Super Bru but I'm guessing I'm at 25 - 30 rn. I haven't made any points in the last 4 matches. Heh... |

^ I don't usually make fun of fighters but man... Usman, what a pie shitter. And imagine if also I picked Dvalishvili in my lottery ticket. I would've had all wins and a draw before the main event and just lose it all in that fashion with Usman. I think I'll skip the lottery ticket for the next event. I'll prolly make my picks and maybe post them itt but I won't be betting them. I mean I'm ok with losing small but this one really disappointed the hell out of me. Usman had it in the bag til he didn't. Lol. |

Totally different players Casimero and De Jong. It just shows that Man United doesn't really have a solid plan when they're making these acquisitions. It's like there's no short term plan, medium term plan and long term plan. Can't sign De Jong? No problem, let's acquire Casimero... Wtf? It makes no sense cos they're two very different players. What was the real plan to begin with?
Oh and he's old. Could be like the Varane acquistion who turned out to be not that good for United as he's riddled with injuries.
I don't think they are old. Varane is 29 which is probably just about prime time for defender since they benefit a lot from experience and don't loose as much if they are a bit slower than when they were 22, it is more than compensated with better positioning and reading of the game. Casemiro is 30 which is getting towards old but still in modern football players last longer so I am thinking 4 seasons of top football should not be a problem, probably even more. So short/medium term plan should be covered and long plan is maybe a bit too much for them to handle at the moment. And I can't blame when they bring defensive midfielder after conceding 4 goals against Brentford  Well... Yeah you're right. Casimero not that old but still too old to be rated at 60m GBP and 10m add ons imho. :/ And I'm sure Man United paid a hefty sum for Varane too, yet he's mostly injured. I said this at another thread... If United does acquire and sign Casimero, that's prolly a red flag. Real Madrid could have a very good reason why they're unloading him. It feels like another Schweinsteiger. Dunno... |

The Hammers have yet to score a single point in the League... The most frustrating was the defeat to Nottingham Forrest... Maybe tonight they can pick up three points and beat Brighton... Although Brighton have been good so far after their first two games and haven't lost a game yet... But West Ham have a Conference League return game coming up... But I think both teams will score tonight...
Graham Potter is a pretty good manager imho. Not even the genius Moyes could pull a rabbit from the hat and get the whole three points here. I think it's gonna be just a draw at best for West Ham at match day 3. And you're prolly right. Both teams could score but as said, it's likely that it's gonna be a draw... Are you in hilarious' pool? If my memory serves me right I think I got them at 1 - 1. |

We will have new engines in F1 in 4 years on the year 2026.
They will triple the power of the electric part and they will decrease by 37% the combustion power...
Theoretical simulation is... same output power.
It's a long shot with the V6 but hopefully they get at least the semblance of the screaming V8's - V10's engine sound back. When I think of F1, it's the screaming engines that always come to mind. It's just different without it although there have been the lawn mower sounding engines in the past. Anyway are there any updates with the Ferrari side? The season would start to suck if Verstappen starts dominating... :/ |

I think this is the third season right? I only saw like 2 winners in all 3 seasons, that is like realizing how hard it is. The reward is that huge accordingly though, 10k dollars is not a small reward, it's huge and that is why it's normal for that few winners as well.
Fourth season. I remember when prizes were paid out in 100s of mBTC back when Bitcoin wasn't so crazy high in the first season. Managed to take some great wins too on freebet parlays in UCL. Didn't get much second season. Last season someone won $10,000 for 7 picks in the very first Match Day. My picks (yes, guys I finally am in): Son, DCL, Toney, Coutinho, Vardy, Rodrigo, Salah. Except for Rodrigo, these are all guys who haven't actually hit gear yet (yes, not even Salah). Lol. I had Kane but I changed my mind before confirming my picks to Son... No goal for him, just hit the wood work. :/ And I think the match should've been 2 - 0 for three points for an exact prediction in our pool. For the rest of my picks this weekend, they are Doucoure, Mitrovic, Zaha, Vardy, Sterling and Salah. I'm just playing it by ear as I really have no idea. Will prolly have a clearer picture of what's going on in the league by match day 6. |
