The Southampton shirts look sharp and it does have an outstanding logo design to it.
Can not wait to have the season start so they can have giveaway contests for these jerseys to add to our collections.

EPL season can't come any sooner. Getting bored of the preseason and these Next generation matches they have started for the clubs.
These are just to wet our appetite for when the real games begin.

You could but if they find out you are they will probably suspend your account and ask for KYC documents.
It is a gray area in the past since it is not allowed to play in Australia due to their regions laws to do with gambling online.
Yet the livestreams happening every weekend are done by the owner who has to be using one since he is from this part of the world.
So best to ask their live support or email them instead.

Remembered right before the womens championship fight happening this weekend at UFC 277 there was an article about a UFC fighter who wanted to receive their entire full salary to be paid in bitcoin.

"Brazilian UFC fighter Luana Pinheiro becomes the first female sportswoman in Latin America to receive her entire salary in BTC."

Good for Luana Pinheiro as there were fighters who received partial amounts of their purse in bitcoin in the past but not their entire earnings, including whatever she receives from sponsorships she has stated, converts it immediately to bitcoin as soon of receiving them.

Yes, thanks @buwaytress man!

Won quite a bit from these pre-season friendlies. From the last one I put some btc on was the Paris St.Germain one against Osaka.
Had over 3.5 goals for Paris and they did it all in the first half.
Should of put in the over 4.5 goals for over odds of 3.25x but didn't think they were going to take it that seriously since it was only a friendly match.
Messi scored and assisted on some of the goals to their new players so they can share in the win.

Think these big club names are all done for these exhibition matches now. They aren't really announced prominently as the main matches are during the season. Almost all of them are being played overseas. Paris St.G were doing a tour in Japan and almost all the EPL friendlies I had bets on were played infront of a stadium in Singapore.

Yeah when heard about Suga O fighting so soon didn't realize it was at 280 until yesterday when after watching a youtuber talk about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1gRe8vSr3Q

Anyways all the talk is about Paddy & Diaz fights up next. -Not next UFC but their next fights!

Talking about the next UFC event, here is the competition for UFC 277!

Put in your picks for the winners of each bout to get your chance to win some prizes.

During the French grand prix crypto sponsors including the main sponsor for F1 were removed from the cars and not allowed to be on any part of the track, where they had banners on other venues shown, due to a law in France against such advertisements being shown.
I was shocked because I didn't know about this until two days after the race concluded.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/uncertainty-around-french-laws-prompted-f1-racers-to-remove-crypto-branding-report

Funny how your watching a race and just don't pay much attention to the advertisements around the track as much well because there is a race going on.

There are two spots available in the EPL pool for the bitcointalk forum members courtesy from me:

There are only two criteria so to qualify for a free spot that I will be paying for you:
So if you haven't registered in the EPL bitcointalk forum pool before and haven't paid the entry fee of 0.0025btc for the season,
then you can just respond to the post below saying you want to join in:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405399.msg60627606#msg60627606

You will then be given a link where to join up which is your invitation to the pool.

^^
Good to hear this @hilariousandco that we are near to that 50 player mark in the pool.

I could pay for 2 more new members to only for this pool who has not joined in yet.

Post your requests and I will send the entry fee and post the tx id to you via pm well before the deadline for these payments.

Because now is crunch time with only 12 more days left until the first match starts!

Yeah another main event on the card getting a technical knockout by the fighter getting injured so they could not continue on with the fight.
This one only took a whole 15 seconds into the first round. So alot of people didn't even have a chance to sit down to watch the fight before it was over.
Disappointing way to lose but the same thing happened to Oretga last week except it was by a pulled shoulder instead of a twisted knee or whatever happened to Aspinall's leg in the fight. It happened so fast even Blaydes didn't even know what happened to his opponent going to ground like that at first.

The highlight of the night was the Paddy the Baddy fight. He did mention during the press conference what he was going to do when he won.
And that was tea bag him, so that's what he did. It was disrespectful but he is a show man so what else is to be expected?
Forgot what game he mentioned he would be doing it from. Thought it was fortnite but it must of been from MW2. That was a great game for it's time.

Heard Sugar show will be fighting in the next UFC main event. He just fought last month but had that finger poke incident so I guess he wanted to have a real fight and to have it sooner than later.

It was an equipment malfunction on the Ferrari team's engineers but Leclerc wanted to not lay blame on them so he took the fall for the mishap.
Everybody including the announcer during the race had concluded it was the Throttle pedal which failed him in an earlier race where he DNF in that one  as well.

@leea-1334
That is an excellent idea. So to get the hype just before when the season does start.
I check the sporsbet specials whenever I am on already placing bets, so quite frequently.

Placed a bet on the spanish friendly match last night and was sorely disappointed with only 1 goal for Barcelona when they played Real Madrid.

Barca faces off against Juventus right before their season starts for one of their last friendly matches (apart from New york Red bulls and another Cup) to end these exhibition games.
Atleast this is how I view them as just an exhibition of their new grown talents and formations on the pitch.

@tokeweed
The way the race is progress and over half way done at lap 35,
It is looking like Sainz is the best bet to make of all those to make it higher up the leaderboard so far.
As he just passed Russell 7 laps ago.

Why would Ferrari ask him to pit right when he was overtaking Perez to get a podium place?
Something is very wrong with ferrari team right now.

There you go, Leclerc out of this race for a third time this season. With a similar problem as before with his throttle pedal causing him spinning off the track. Why can't Ferrari get this issue solved as you can feel Charles pain in that deafening scream he made in the radio as soon he knew what had happened.

Well those who had him in the pool to win the race are in the same pain and I had him with fastest lap aswell.

^^
I like this strategy better to be honest.
They are just interviewing Lando and Alonso and they both look to be comfortable on this track in France so I would expect them to do exceedingly well.

Race is about to start in 40-45 minutes form now.
It is looking to be clear skies and they did say it was going to be a hot one there so we will see who has the best strategy when it comes to when and where to change their tyres hoping that it will win them the race.

Last I checked the odds last night Leclerc was at @2.35x which I am wanting to take and Max was @1.67x.

So it is still looking to be a favored race for Verstappen to win.

Match started later but right after Haaland scored they told them all to go back to the locker rooms. It looked like it was raining abit harder than they thought it would. So the referee stopped it for now.


He certainly is looking comfortable in a City jersey and with his new teammates.

Didn't know Chelsea vs Arsenal was happening either. Alot of these matches starting now since the start of their new seasons are beginning very soon.
They are calling it the Florida Cup.
They were showing Juventus playing earlier in Las Vegas.

Manchester City are playing in a friendly match against Bayern Munich in a few minutes.
They should be the favorites but the odds don't show it with Bayern having them.
Don't know if city will be dressing Haaland for this one. But more than likely in the second half just like Liverpool did with Nunez.
Would like to see what the kid can do.

edit: Looks like the match is under a weather delay.

@ralle14 Looks like your selection won on the +1.5 for TT gaming to get it against Weibo gaming.
Congrats man!

Seen a youtube stream dedicated to Valorant matches just popup on my feeds yesterday.
We might see some major tournaments this season starting to get the unknowns in on the action.
So to get the ball rolling and get them to counterstrike levels of competitions and tournaments.

^^
Yes but practice is just that a practice run(s) so the drivers can see how the track is and how their cars react to it.
Then they adjust for when the real races count - Qualifying & Race.

Verstappen took practice 3 by a farly good margin ahead of both ferrari drivers but Leclerc did the same thing yesterday against Max.
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.fp3-verstappen-leads-ferrari-duo-in-final-french-grand-prix-practice.426UeOcxF5EC9CullKs6CC.html

As the same thing yesterday Verstappen changed to those soft tyres as he was testing them out on the track to well, adjust.

Qualification is starting in about 45 mintues. So now we will se how those drivers have fine tuned their strategies on this slick track and when to change out their tyres so to make it count at the critical times during the race.
