Redbull deserved the victory today, too many mistakes by Ferrari.
But I don't understand who likes this track, I hate it.
It is almost impossible for overtaking, look at Hamilton with Gasly.
I hope Imola will never go on the calendar again.
Red Bull did but it's not just the mistakes from Ferrari. Have you noticed that both Red Bull cars have had faster race pace at Imola? Leclerc couldn't challenge either Verstappen or Perez for their spots on the track. It was really surprising esp after seeing how Leclerc lead around 90% of the sprint race... It looks like I'd have to put betting on 'winner of race, pole position' every GP on hold. Red Bull might have fixed their issues and Ferrari might not dominate the season after all. We'll see. And I don't mind Imola. If they were to remove Imola from the calendar due to impossibility of overtaking then remove Monaco and a couple others too. |

You gotta love the appreciation and class showed for Eriksen by the crowd at Brentford from both home and away clubs. It almost makes you tear watching it. I mean after what he's been thru and all. I want an Eriksen Brentford shirt now...  |

Leclerc got problems with his tires an he was unable to fight with Max in the final part of the race.
Good recovery for Sainz.
For tomorrow is not clear which wheater they will face.
Ferrari did show that they could be fast on the wet track so I'm not really worried about that if I was betting on Leclerc. He has the pace, he has the car and they're faster than Red Bull overall in all three tire compounds. I don't know why the books have Verstappen at 1.76. Lol. That's a lot of money moving the line that low. My favorite bet which I'll prolly do if I win one of me UFC tickets would be the grid position of winner market. Leclerc at 2.60 looks good imho. |

^ At Liverpool's current form and the way they have been finishing their matches, there is no way Villareal could go through and be at the final. No way. It would take something really brilliant from Emery to make that happen. Liverpool is just really too good rn.
And to your question, yes... It will be hard for Villareal to score a goal against Liverpool. They have been pressing real hard and hunting down the ball more aggresively than before, it's not a joke... But yeah, City on the other hand I could see losing vs Real Madrid. Maybe it'll go to pens.

And guys.. Post your picks, c'mon! I'm the only guy hanging my balls out in the open every week. Lolol.
Edit: Well in fairness there are a couple of other guys with me.
Ask, and you shall receive! Although, disclaimer I'm not including any of these picks in a betting slip, as I'm not overly confident on a lot of them. So, for anyone looking for some influence on what you choose, bear that in mind. Dean Barry Philipe Lins Preston Parsons Cameron Else Tyson Pedro Dwight Grant Marc-André Barriault Lando Vannata Alexandr Romanov Montana De La Rosa Clay Guida Jéssica Andrade Haven't got many dogs in the race for this event, so I'm fancying quite a few underdog wins. Big favourites for me personally would be Alexandr Romanov, and Dean Barry. Other than that, toss up on a lot of those. Potentially Jessica Andrade, but I tend to find WMMA odds are a little skewed with the favourite, and it's often much more competitive than the odds show. Mostly agree with all your leans except for Lins. Dunno.., Ever since he won 1m USD in the PFL grand prix I feel like he doesn't really care anymore. I mean yeah he still likes fighting and the pay but as far as wanting to win goes, I'm not sure. He is kinda has fast hands tho and quick movement and Prachniao is kinda low volume. And it looks like everybody made weight and there no last minute canellations... Good to see. Jessica Andrade (115.5) vs Amanda Lemos (115) Clay Guida (154) vs Claudio Puelles (155.5) Maycee Barber (125.5) vs Montana De La Rosa (125.5) Alexandr Romanov (240.5) vs Chase Sherman (249) Charles Jourdain (144.5) vs Lando Vannata (146) Evan Elder (170) vs Preston Parsons (170) Marc-Andre Barriault (188.5) vs Jordan Wright (190) Dwight Grant (170.5) vs Sergey Khandozhko (169.5) Tyson Pedro (205) vs Ike Villanueva (205.5) Cameron Else (135) vs Aori Qileng (136) Philipe Lins (205) vs Marcin Prachnio (205) Dean Barry (170.5) vs Mike Jackson (170) Weigh inshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxUpqcETNgsWeigh inshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xyNcV4Fyo |

I guess Verstappen getting pole this time around is well deserved?  Leclerc had the lead for like over 90% of the sprint race til Verstappen came pushing himself towards the end. I think it was Ferrari's team's fault for not telling Leclerc to save his tires for the last couple laps. Verstappen probably did and was able to push it and gained the position back. Anyway, I still think Leclerc will win tomorrow if nothing out of the ordinary happens... Here are the results. 2022 F1 Emilia Romagna GP Sprint Quali Results1 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 21 Laps 2 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari + 2.975s 3 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Bull Racing + 4.721s 4 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari + 17.578s 5 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team + 24.561s 6 Daniel Ricciardo AUS McLaren F1 Team + 27.740s 7 Valtteri Bottas FIN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen + 28.133s 8 Kevin Magnussen DEN Haas F1 Team + 30.712s 9 Fernando Alonso ESP BWT Alpine F1 Team + 32.278s 10 Mick Schumacher GER Haas F1 Team + 33.773s 11 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team + 36.284s 12 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Scuderia AlphaTauri + 38.289s 13 Sebastian Vettel GER Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team + 40.177s 14 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team + 41.459s 15 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team + 42.910s 16 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team + 43.517s 17 Pierre Gasly FRA Scuderia AlphaTauri + 43.794s 18 Alexander Albon THA Williams Racing + 48.871s 19 Nicholas Latifi CAN Williams Racing + 52.017s Guanyu Zhou CHN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen DNF |

^ Yup, the leaders are clearly sand bagging during FP2... How many laps are the sprint races again? If Leclerc doesn't get first position at the start, he could have just a couple of opportunities for a DRS pass. Pole position for Max, deserved? Who knows.
Anyway it will be hard for overtake in this track, we will see if Sainz can recover from p10 after the mistake he made.
No way Verstappen deserved pole. Lol. And you guys know I'm more lean in favor towards Red Bull over other F1 teams. It's clear to anyone who watched quali that the red flags fucked Leclerc's chances up to take it away from Verstappen. But yeah.. I'm pretty sure with Ferrari's car advantage Leclerc could take the race. So it's a 'no' in the market I'm eyeing of putting a little bet on. Edit: Sprint race in 7 mins or so... Edit: Look like it's a 'yes'.  |

Unlucky turn of events and Verstappen did the fastest lap before the red flag but he was under Yellow card  3 minutes to go but I think is not possible to improve with cold tyres. Yup it was bound to happen seeing how wet the track was. Overall under normal conditions it's the Ferraris who's fastest in all tire compounds and in two out of three sectors of the track... I think even all past tracks raced so far in the season. But no harm no foul. Let's just hope for dry weather tomorrow... Here are the results for quali. I don't think I'll be betting my little secret market for the race. Too unpredictable with the rain that comes and goes. 2022 F1 Emilia Romagna Qualifying Results 1 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m19.295s 1m18.793s 1m27.999s 2 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari 1m18.796s 1m19.584s 1m28.778s 3 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team 1m20.168s 1m19.294s 1m29.131s 4 Kevin Magnussen DEN Haas F1 Team 1m20.147s 1m19.902s 1m29.164s 5 Fernando Alonso ESP BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m20.198s 1m19.595s 1m29.202s 6 Daniel Ricciardo AUS McLaren F1 Team 1m19.980s 1m20.031s 1m29.742s 7 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Bull Racing 1m19.773s 1m19.296s 1m29.808s 8 Valtteri Bottas FIN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m20.419s 1m20.192s 1m30.439s 9 Sebastian Vettel GER Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team 1m20.364s 1m19.957s 1m31.062s 10 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari 1m19.305s 1m18.990s No Time Set 11 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m20.383s 1m20.757s 12 Mick Schumacher GER Haas F1 Team 1m20.422s 1m20.916s 13 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m20.470s 1m21.138s 14 Guanyu Zhou CHN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m19.730s 1m21.434s 15 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team 1m20.342s 1m28.119s 16 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m20.474s 17 Pierre Gasly FRA Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m20.732s 18 Nicholas Latifi CAN Williams Racing 1m21.971s 19 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m22.338s 20 Alexander Albon THA Williams Racing No Time Set |

^ Yeah, I used to think the same. But these days I don't mind so much. I just want to see Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic throw leather, belt or no belt. And I think it's really advantageous for the fighters if they were going at it for a belt, be it an interim one or a real one. I'm not sure but it's possible that they get paid more since championship fights get a share of the PPV buys. Here's the stream for the official weigh ins.

I am beginning to doubt this Do Kwon announcement. I am not certain why bitcoin is dumping, however, I speculate that Do Kwon is using Terra to buy his own personal bitcoin holdings that he might have bought during the bear market. I also speculate that Michael Saylor might be doing this also. I cannot prove this, however. I only speculate and scratch my head hehehe.
I also think the same as you... when the bitcoin price dump, I suspect michael saylor sell his hold and has taken profit from bitcoin - then bought it back at a lower price, as well as do kwon, it is very clear that he uses the profits he gets from terra to buy bitcoins personally. I'm curious about what will happen to the future of terra tokens and terra stablecoins. Yesterday had a news: A wallet is said to be Microstrgety's wallet that has sold more than 1500 BTC yesterday. Michael Saylor always said that he only bought and hold Bitcoin not selling, but behind him to sell his Bitcoin to Bitcoin dumping. This is just a rumor circulating on social media and I still can't confirm if it's true. Main address: 1p5zedwtktfgxqjzphgwpqupe554wkdfhq Address of sub-management: 1fzwlkaahhoov3kztgyx6qsswxj6scxksr " https://twitter.com/Coinsandtoken/status/1517045545889636355 Unconfirmed. And who is that guy? Just another clout chasing account who just wants some engagement to increase his follower count. It appears that there is a new entry in the algorithmic stable coin market. Justin Sun and his USDD hehehe. According to their development team, USDD will also hold a reserve worth $10 billion similar to Terra's UST. However, it might not be 100% in bitcoin. They only mentioned $10 billion of highly liquid assets. I am quite certain bitcoin will be a big portion of this and it will certainly provide more buy pressure for bitcoin. TRON DAO joined hands with major blockchain players to launch USDD (Decentralized USD), the most decentralized stablecoin in human history, making finance accessible to all by applying mathematics and algorithms. As a result, it enjoys perpetual existence without relying on any centralized entities.
The roadmap of TRON-based USDD consists of four stages—1.0 Space, 2.0 ISS, 3.0 Moon, and 4.0 Mars—echoing both mankind’s and TRON's efforts in future space exploration. In 1.0 Space, the USDD management will be entrusted to the TRON DAO Reserve and other major blockchain institutions. The former will be tasked to provide custody service for the $10 billion worth of highly liquid assets raised from initiators of the blockchain industry, use them as an early-stage reserve, keep the exchange rate of USDD stable, and enforce convertibility fully.Source https://www.hejustinsun.com/post/an-open-letter-on-the-issuance-of-usdd-a-decentralized-algorithmic-stablecoin-on-tronSo it looks like not even Do Kwon, Saylor and Elon Musk could save BTC from going red. Let's see what Justin Sun can do. I'll be rooting for him. It would be so hilarious if he and his crew could start buying BTC back up to break 50k. Lol. And in case you guys didn't know Justin Sun and CZ are really buddies behind the scenes. So don't believe everything you read in the paper folks. Afaik the Chinese always support each other. |

^ That's the problem with that kind of thinking. 'Faith' has nothing to do with price. And yeah I kinda agree with May. Nobody knows. I've been some guys saying sell in 'May and stay away' implying a slightly downward trend and possible more sell downs. Dunno... Just stay safe out there.
Anyway, check out the price... And just like that BTC was breaking above 42k with 45k looking to be a sure thing then out from nowhere somebody pushes it back down to 40k. Market is spooked and down it goes some more to 39k with 38k looking very likely. :/

^ I know what you mean. It's really hard fading Real Madrid with Benzema running hot. The odds for them winning the UCL is at 6.65 rn. I think that's good value considering that City does choke at crucial moments just like we've seen them do for the last three UCL seasons now..? I really thought last year was gonna be their year. I'm now thinking Pep might not win the UCL with City. This is his last chance.
But Liverpool is a problem tho. No one can touch them... I'm thinking it's gonna be an all English final but yeah, we can't discount Real Madrid.

^ The Swede girl Smilla Sundell was pretty good. I mean at only 17 and getting the W the way she did vs a seasoned Muay Thai fighter in Jackie Buntan. Wow... I don't think I ever saw someone break Buntan's face like that. I wasn't really interested in ONE's Muay Thai and kickboxing circuit but I'm a fan now of Sundell. Can't wait for her next match. And I didn't notice that we have two Bellator events back to back. Lol. The UFC should do something like it. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87504-bellator-278https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87505-bellator-279Betting tip for Bellator events. Parlay the favorites. Happening more than not, the fights are mismatches esp at the lower level. |

^ Yeah I'm having the same expectations with Verstappen on the wet track too. But after FP1, it looks like it wouldn't matter judging how the Ferrari cars are having too much of an advantage against their rivals. It also looks like my little secret market could win more than 50% if I keep putting money on it for the whole season... That's if the line is 1.80 or above for the whole season.
Anyway, just 10 minutes away for qualifying guys.

Mercedes have said they may be bringing upgrades to Imola, but I don't think it can be enough to propel them to the front of the grid. Their lack of pace has been hidden a bit by some bunching behind safety cars which reduces the gap at the end of the race, and their positions have been boosted by some DNFs... but the fact remains that the Mercedes is about a second per lap slower than the Ferrari and the Red Bull. It seems incredibly unlikely that they could bridge that gap with just one set of upgrades.
I think the updates would involve something like bringing back the side pods for the Mercedes in order to very slightly reduce the down force and in effect also reduces porpoising which really is the real problem with the 2022 cars. Ferrari seems to have solved the issue or have less of the issue. Anyway there's one betting market I'm looking to bet at every race for the whole season if it continues to be 1.80 or better and if Leclerc really goes on a dominant run this year. |

Good idea but BTC right now is signaling bullish or least far more positive action. This is mid week and we can always take a sharp turn but its building positively from what I can tell. In simpliest terms, reference to the 50 day average, we are recovering back above that but also 2 day and weekly averages. Just above the 42k price now is monthly but really staying above 50 day has me thinking BTC will progress positively for this month and possibly medium term.  Really bullish target would be the 48k shown in this chart, which is about the 200 day average. I think we are more slowly gaining so not this month but generally seems quite a genuine turn upwards and not the negative breakdown some feared. Yeah BTC is looking good rn but it's not out of the woods yet imho. Just a little bit more if it can break out and stay above resistance of around 44k - 45k. It has been trying to break out of it for 4 times now since Feb but it hasn't been successful so far. Hopefully this next one could finally do it. But still unsure as there are lots of stuff going on around the world that could take everything down again. We'll see... |

^ ^ It's starting imho. All it takes is a little bit more of critical thinking and for the people in the Bitcoin community to start asking questions. The most obvious one being why are there still lots of DNM users still continuing to use BTC? They should drop it as BTC isn't really built for keeping your wallets' blockchain info safe from the prying eyes of TPTB. Even their most prized use case of the store of value narrative isn't really that strong without Monero's features. And it is sad that the WO has gotten so out of hand.
I'm trying to remember when it wasn't. I've got nothing. I blame cAPSLOCK and Heuristic Just curious... What happened? |

Oh please.
SHIB is nothing but a shitcoin that is going to trend towards zero as a matter of time.
The RH listing is probably the pinnacle of the hype, and likely one of the last times that SHIB will see a significant green candle come its way. Memecoins will be the hardest hit in this bear market, mark my words.
No one is claiming SHIB to be the second coming bud. I'm just saying that the way they have risen in value and how they are holding value is impressive. Look at DOGE ffs. Lmao. And exactly, it is hype. That's why when it pumps, traders love to ride it. No one ever bought it because they think it's the best investment. I mean for that, just buy BTC, XMR or even ETH. Despite the shib listed news on Robinhood, there are rumors that the owner is Elon Musk and Vitalik, but the truth can't be proven. I'm not really interested in meme coins, but I do hold this coin even if a little, at least if there is a pump, I will get a lot of money, but if it's the other way around, then it's not a regret. afraid to invest big funds here, it should be like your advice. and here we are just having fun to make a fortune from shiba You know it's funny, I was just thinking about exactly that a while ago when I was reading through this thread. But I'm thinking it's more about Vitalik Buterin or one of the ETH devs close to him than Elon Musk who's mostly just an investor in the space. And 50% of SHIB's supply did go to Vitalik Buterin's public wallet as some sort of 'meta' according to SHIB's lead dev Ryoshki. So that's prolly a clue. The biggest clue is SHIB's staying power at the top 20 at CMC. Something tells me its rise to become one the biggest altcoins isn't a fluke. Somebody, some whale is prolly is backing SHIB from the start. |

For me I use cryptocurrency for anonymous transaction and to avoid KYC also, I find it way more convenient to deposit than using common deposits from third party services and it's easier for me to access cryptocurrency rather than using bank cards.
While for me it's because of my sig campaign. I have a weekly inflow of 80 bucks of BTC to bet on sports which is really enough to keep me entertained tbh. I'm not a whale or anything. I just like to watch football, MMA and F1 with or without bets but if I have free monies coming in weekly then why not gamble and try to win more, not that it matters. It's all fun... It'd be nice if crypto had a poker site with good traffic at the microstakes so we could have a chance to build a decent roll. I think that's what's lacking in the space. |

And AJ McKee... Was his win at the first fight just a fluke? Would like to see a third match up. Pitbull had a good game plan and went with it nicely.
So many factors can come into play here, but Pitbull sticking to a good game plan is something I would expect from a seasoned veteran like he is. Also, and I really hate bringing that argument up, but maybe Pitbull just had a mental slippage in the first fight and just got caught sort of speaking. A 5 round full fight is a better indicator of where their levels stand at. This is more in the lines I was expecting in the first fight tbh. Yup true. I'm hearing AJ McKee doesn't want to have a third fight and he's thinking of going up in weight class at 155. You think he's dodging Pitbull or is he just trying to play mind games? I think he doesn't have to play mind games as the third fight will always be there for him since he won the first match real quick. Anyway, I missed the PFL. Was the main event good? I've seen meme saying it was a nail biter if you had money on Collard. Edit: ONE event on Friday. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87416-one-championship-reloaded |
