Didn't see that one coming with Perez having gearbox issues just 8 laps into the race this past weekend in Canada.
It may be related to his crash in qualifying. The car did get quite a hit then.

With one of the Red bulls not finishing that means the heat is on with the Team Mercedes getting a podium win and Russell coming in fourth ahead of Leclerc.
I can see both of the British drivers making moves coming closer to the top of the leaderboard in the next race for the first July weekend in Silverstone.

With the reliability issues the Ferrari engines are facing lately this is very much possible.
I am a bit disappointed that Sainz is not trying at all make the life difficult to his opponents. But I am not sure whether it's lack of skill or he's trying to spare his car to actually end the race(s).
You mean the one where he went straight into the padded barrier? He was going into a turn so he wasn't going full speed.
If I remember it right, the announcer was saying it could of been worse. It looked like he was braking when he knew he had lost control because you can see his front tires locking up and stop spinning.

Quite quickly, the race leaders reacted to the pilots' complaints about dolphining. Now adopted a directive to limit the vertical acceleration of the machine. They will now be measured during qualifying and then they may or may not be allowed to race.
Experts note that teams will suffer the most. Mercedes and Ferrari.

I also liked the statement of one of the racers who compared the process of dolphining to being hits on his head as if it were a basketball bouncing off the floor. Smiley
Yes, they compared this motion to a football player taking a blow to their head several times but through out the course of the race.
But this is up to the sport to decide on what must be done to ratify this issue since it does seem detrimental to the drivers.

With that win Navi qualify for the Blast Premier world finals later on this year.
https://www.hltv.org/news/34091/navi-qualify-for-blast-premier-world-final

The match for the spring final was a walk in the park against Team Vitality blanking them 2-0 and the french side didn't have any answers for them.
Yup, it looks like they finally got their groove back despite having a stand-in and props for Vitality to reach this far I also didn't expect them to beat G2 and ENCE during the playoffs.


Looking forward to some dota later today as we have a bunch of interesting matches and i'm liking Team Liquid -1.5 vs Alliance, expecting a sweep here as Alliance continues to struggle and Team Liquid manages to take down Gladiators 2-0 in their second series. I just feel like Alliance is still lacking the firepower against most of the div 1 teams even though they have decent players.

https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/c6039348-ece2-41bc-a1ba-96619f38140c
Congratulations on the win!
Looks like Team Liquid are on a roll with that easy -1.5 victory over Alliance.
They are the team to beat in this series.
Just watched Astralis playing in a CS:GO Cup tournament man-handle Movistar riders.

Yes Wimbledon has started today and the promotion is still eligible to be taken until the 26th so you still have time to opt-in and collection the reward for every win Djokovic has in the tournament:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-06-wimbledon-promo

Even though Novak is 1.71x odds it is still great to take the favorite to win this tournament compared to others listed:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/tennis/atp/wimbledon-men-singles/wimbledon-men-singles-2022-60eb52b5febae447c8aee0da

I remember the last time they held this promotion with Osaka and Djokovic.
Really good way to get some freebets and now freespins!

Remember now is your last chance to enter in your selections for the free 4-3 promotions because the NBA draft is later on tonight.

^^
Actually only bet on the main card fights and those came in hot with some solid wins on single bets.
The main event saw alot of people lose with a strange scorecard from the three judges seeing Emmitt edging out Kattar for the victory.
Luckily where I placed my bet had a split decision money-back promotion so had it basically even money for my bet on this main card bout.
Over all an impressive fight night since as you had mentioned alot of matches ended early with knock outs and indeed probably a record.

Can not wait for next month's UFC main event as the promotional videos have already started coming out yesterday for it:

Knew the damned Osaka would lose, and missed out on a freebet by 1 corner (went for 9-10 and they only got Cool. The one 4-3-free I actually felt I knew what I would be doing and I screw it up.
Multimaster, would be sweet to win even second prize, I've gone for "underdog" feel here and so put most of picks as underwhelming (as in, not getting picked so fast).
Rest totally random, using names I feel are "more lucky".
Entered in mine a couple of days ago cause didn't want to forget to put them in and miss it all together.
Still have 2 & a half days left to get those selections in for those who haven't already and put them off til the last minute of the draft happening Thursday.

Really easy for Max without Leclerc and without Perez for his own fault, Sainz again show to us he is not a first driver for a top scuderia, he can only be a shield.

Amazing performance of Alonso, hats off, showing his whole experience and making magic with his Alpine in the rain.

Good but risky move from Mercedes with that soft tires in Rusell, dont paying off but a great move to make a pole.

Yes sir, it was incredible what Alonso has made yesterday, also thanks to bad results from Perez and Leclerc (not for his fault). Alonso did an extraordinary lap and I'm really curious at the same time what he will do today

in race mode. Alonso is always an alien  Grin

PS: Takin a look also at Hamilton, that 4th place could be a suprise for us  Smiley
Alonso is almost 41 years old from some previews of today's race cause it was a definite stand out performance from the driver for Alpine.
Hamilton was frustrated and not happy with his engines performance and was very vocal about it at the end of qualifying from what I can recall.
Today's track should be dry so it shouldn't impose any of the driver performance on this track like it did during P3 and qualifying.
Let's go Max and Perez!
Team Red Bull for me today as they are on my betslips.

Same thing for me with the J-League matches for the previous free-6-6 right before the Multimaster challenge coming back.
They must of just added it because this time yesterday there was only the one for Japanese soccer available.
But good showing on their part to bring it back for these once a year events.

This is what it all comes down to.. pure luck for these drafts.
Same with me.
I only following the March tournament and not have followed any of the college league players or their standings outside of that.

Ferrari has said that the break of motor in Baku was involved with something that was started in Spanish GP.  Now they said that situation is under control.

I really hope so, I would like to see a good result from them in this weekend, I bet for a pole position tomorrow, about the race who knows  Embarrassed Embarrassed
They haven't fixed it and did actually make it worse as @buwaytress has mentioned in his post above.
They need more parts during FP2 to repair it and was struck with a 10 place grid penalty right before the race on Sunday. He is need of a new para-unit element.
So he can not start the race no better than 11th place according to the sports media I was following right before the qualifying race.
It starts in about 6.5 hours from now so get buckled in.

Bitcoin has been declared “dead” at least 2 times a year since 2010. Ignore it.

Every time it’s come back from the dead with a 5x recovery (or more).
It has been declared so called "dead" offically 377 times according to main stream media headlines.
Here is a nifty website to see the dates and headlines that caused them to declare it dead.
https://www.bitcoinisdead.org/

Although 99bitcoins has declared it dead 452 times.
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

edit:
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

Currently bitcoin has died around 452 times!
The various obituaries are collected on this site (click image or link above).

These comments in the newspapers seems are created precisely to prevent new investors from entering this sector and people inquiring about the "reality" of things or how this technology really works.
You beat me to it @bitbollo!
But take those numbers with a grain of salt. Grin

Practice runs begin in about 2-3 hours so can not wait to see how each team has either improved on or failed to do anything about the bouncing issues that FIA using the procedure Parc Ferme.
Actually FP1 will start only in 6.5 hours from now. Way different time zone, since it's Canada.
Everything will happen kinda late this week-end.
Correct. The timezones are drastically different and we have skysports broadcasting them to us here so going from theirs it gets confusing.
Found a better estimation of when these practice races start from an North American site instead with EST time schedules:
https://www.espn.com/racing/schedule/_/series/f1

So in about 4.5 hours from now, of course it being a practice the exact start time is marginally different then what it actually is.

Thanks NeuroticFish!

Yes @leea-1334 UFC seems to be picking up the pace during the summer time now is upon us. Marketing is their only route so their fan-base is to aware when and who the next contenders will face off in the octagon.

UFC ESPN 37 is on this weekend and here is your chance to put in your picks for the next round of the multimaster challenge sponsored by Sportsbet.io:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5402605.0

Good luck to everyone who decides to participate in this one!

Already done yesterday and thanks for the reminder,,, I saw a LOT of heavy favorites in the selections though (based on the odds given by Sportsbet) so I only made my mind up for about 5 of the matches and went everywhere else with the favorite.

One strategy could be to pick against all the favorites though, and you only need one or two of the big upsets here to make money from the whole thing. Actually I might try that with $1 on all of them Wink
Yes good strategy on betting for these UFC fight nights.
Usually there are a few upsets and the heavy underdog has a good opportunity to win their bout against a heavy sided favorite.
But a good tip I always do is: Bet on the other markets when in doubt.
Such as Will the fight go the distance or over and under rounds for you selections.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: June 17, 2022, 01:09:02 PM
True.
I meant we are seeing the same thing as in the sportsbet specials screen as you can see from the capture below.

When I click on the drop down for the MLB special it does not show anything for it below.
If there was anything to display for it, then it would be a couple of hours before the match whichever that they decide that maybe to be able to place a wager on.
Just like for the other specials for the EPL. Those were only available for a limited time as well. And gone roughly 45 minutes to an 1 hour before the match had begun.

Faze clan is doing extremely bad cause everytime I look at their match results they have lost. G2, Team Vitality and to another team in tournament.
I believe they are playing today in an about an hour so I expect them to lose this match too even though they are still the favorites to win.
