There is nothing surprising in this match that Real Madrid came out victorious. The final result is predictable even before the game starts. Not intending to underestimate Frankfurt, but indeed their strength is below Real Madrid.
I can say that if a player wants to have a trophy, Real Madrid is the right destination.

There is really no surprising thing for Real Madrid to win against Frankfurt, and if you know Karim Benzema the number 1 scorer in the La Liga, with 27 goals for the 21-22 season of the La Liga, mostly comparing him to Robert Lewandowski, surely one would think twice not betting for Real Madrid against the team that landed the 11 spots of the Bundesliga last season, so there is no wonder many are going with Real Madrid,



Of course. Robert Lewandoski is an exceptional talent and scoring more than 30 goals is truly insane. And if you look at the number of goals in the last few years, 20 goals is really good. So if Timo Werner feels really comfortable in the Leipzigteam he will certainly score a lot of goals again. We will see whether it is enough for the World Cup. But I think he is a candidate.

Returning to RB Leipzig is a good choice, with Christopher Nkunku I think the Leipzig has a slight edge for this season, but I think they still need time their chemistry is off and pretty much Stuttgart is a new team now for them to make the Leipzig getting hard on them, they sure need time to think of a play maybe we will see Leipzig Turn this around like they this last season,


I watched that match and i think that Frankfurt showed a pretty good performance in my opinion and they can definitely be happy with the way they have played yesterday. They even had the chance to go in front as they had the first big chance but sadly Kamada was not able to make a goal out of his pretty good chance.
Of course it is also true though that it was pretty obvious yesterday that Real Madrid has just a higher individual class then Frankfurt and also way more experience. It looked like that whenever Real Madrid wanted they could create chances and that they never really had problems to defend against the attacks of Frankfurt except for Kamadas chance.

At least they are not unhappy with the result and because Real Madrid is a real deal aswell, they can not really compete with that kind of level of play because if we look at the game stats, Frankfurt really did their all to keep the game close, but to no success with their goals at all, because from that 6 shots they made 3 was on target but still doesn't attain any goal at all, but at least they have enjoyed the game so much no regrets eve though they have lost, I think that is more informant than winning, for a team or players to enjoy their moment,

My bet is on Marlon Vera to win in main event, he is much younger and he has slight reach advantage in this fight.
He is coming from three wins after losing a fight against legend Jose Aldo in 2020, but he never lost a fight with KO or submission!
Best bet for me in this fight is that fight will go distance with all five rounds, maybe in combination with Very win if you want better odds.


Chito Vera is on point with his kicks and the variation of his side kicks is really amazing Chito Vera has high Intelligence when creating strikes sometimes on point, and that fight with Rob Font was really amazing, he has some success with his hook kicks, side kicks that is preferably hard to defend, and that Sean O'Malley fight that kicks from O'Malley's behind his knee that has severe the peroneal nerve for O'Malley's Leg that lost his dysfunction on his leg and for Marlon Vera to have knowledge about this because he said to the press-con, he surely can do it again, Dominick Cruz will surely need to be ready for this,


There might be 2 fighters who are very much underestimated for this event. The Dominator Cruz and Angela Hill. Similar to what you have already mentioned, Cruz is from San Diego. Angela Hill is also from San Diego. I speculate that if they reach the decision, the judges might give questionable split decisions for the 2 of them. This is not very impossible in the UFC.

Also, another underestimated fighter also might be Iasmin Lucindo from Brazil. She is only 20 years old, however, she has more experience than her opponent.

We can not avoid certainly that kind of thing for two individuals fighting there will be a favorable side and not so favorable ones, and I think this is certainly a good thing could surely choose not to bet or to still bet on it, for me, I am not underestimating Dominick Cruz, this is just my assessment that Marlon Chito Vera will surely win, Chito is an evolving fighter and still has a ceiling of improvement because of his young age,

The sexy fighting kitten Ariane Lipski the Violence Queen will be in this next event hehehehee.



The Beautiful Ariane Lipski, I wish this fight will not be canceled and would continue, For me, Ariane Lipski has more experience than Cachoeira and has a slight reach advantage, even though Priscila Cachoeira has the slight height advantage, and both have a purple belt on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Ariane Lipski has been on break since Sept 18, 2021, was her last fight, it is almost a year, now, and Cachoeira is pretty much active her last fight was February 26, 2022, but for me, I would still go with our Fighting kitty Ariane Lipski, maybe she is ready to get back at it again,

-snip-

If a team's goal is to win the title, they should not be dependent on any particular player. They should definitely keep the replacement. It is impossible to guarantee that a player will play well for an entire season or suffer injury. The Dortmund team is not stable enough this season either. They may qualify for the Champions League, but will be far behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

But it is still happening, I think all of them are hoping to win the championship, Bayern Munich is just on the top of the food chain well mainly because they have already established their reign and the finances are hauling so much every year because they always won the champion, and we can not blame players if they have a super player in their team and they end up relying on him, but eventually, when Lewandowski is now not in the team anymore, other players have become very active in their game and playing ten fold, but we can not say it is because of Lewandowski leaving, maybe now the management is more strict because they knew it will be not an easy season for them,


In fact, the previous season Leipzig experienced a decline in performance by being in 4th position, even though in the 2020/2021 season
Leipzig managed to be in 2nd position. But if we talk about this season in which Leipzig managed to bring back Timo Werner, I have the same
opinion as you, are very optimistic that Leipzig can regain second place in the Bundesliga. Because it is too difficult for any team in the Bundesliga
to beat Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga. Likewise with Leipzig, their realistic target is to reach second place in the Bundesliga,
and the current Leipzig squad I'm sure they can achieve. Moreover, Dortmund as Leipzig's strongest competitor is not in good condition,
Dortmund has been abandoned by Haaland and his successor Sebastien Haller has suffered a serious injury. So this is a good opportunity
for Leipzig to reach second place in the Bundesliga.

Well, Leipzig will surely gain that momentum over time, they are having a hard time coping up at the start of the season, I really don't know why, but this is really happening to them even in the last season their momentum shifted, and regain a good standing further throughout the season, and every game Leipzig will eventually win that game, I think they have 18 new arrivals for the team and still coping up with how they play in the Bundesliga, this will really need time to get used to their new teams, and gaining chemistry along the way,

^  Mmm after watching some tape, it's Vera's durability which makes me kinda lean on him.  And he's somewhat fast enough to evade some of Cruz's offense.  Cruz on the other hand is who I think is more well rounded between these guys.  He has a wrestling background, has good take downs, good foot work, good volume but not much power in those hands.  Vera has power and there's a possibility Vera could finish him at R4 or R5.  And watch Cruz vs Munhoz, I think Cruz's chin isn't what it used to...

Well you're talking about wrestling, I am talking about grappling, for me, Marlon Vera is a more well-rounded Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and can finish his opponent both on Stand-up, Submission, or Decision, but well, Dominick Reyes, might be a good wrestler, and surely he would love to take down his opponent and finish it with a ground and pound, and surely Dominick Cruz is prone to be injured, I think he is the most injured fighter in the UFC, while Chito Vera is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Cruz is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but we can not compare that to their level of experience while Vera doesn't have any background on Wrestling and Cruz has an extensive wrestling background training in amateur wrestling maybe Cruz is a more well-rounded guy than Chito Vera,

Vera it is! He is also known for relentless volume and has the cardio and power  to back it up. I don't see Dom Cruz going to win this fight unless he could throw shots with stroke of luck at the right time. He aged and have been injured many times. I reviewed his last fight he nearly lost against Pedro Munhoz.


Marlon Vera's record is mostly note-taking has 4 times Performance of the Night fights, with fighters  Roman Salazar, Brad Pickett, Andre Ewell, and Frankie Edgar, 3 times Fight of the Night versus  Song Yadong, Davey Grant, and Rob Font, and Most stoppage wins in UFC Bantamweight division history with 9 counts, but I think he can not underestimate Dominick Cruz just yet, and I just hope this fight never ends in an injury, I would love to see this ends well because both fighters is really deserve in winning this fight, but for me, I think Marlon Vera could win this aswell,

Sandbox Gaming VS T1 Correct Map Score (1 - 2)
I like this pick and the +1.5 handicap on Sandbox @1.7 even though both teams already locked their spot for the playoffs it's still concerning that T1's form continues to decline.

T1 is really declining so fast, and right now they are losing to Sandbox, pretty much this is not a good sign for T1, I know Sandbox is a decent team and 3rd in the standings but this is the 3rd loss for T1 if this continues they will surely have a hard time against GEN.G in the finals, it was total domination for Sandbox, I think Faker is losing it aswell, he is just 26 years old but maybe he just needs to manage the team, but that is for him to decide if he wants to continue playing he can surely do,

Here are the results for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Gen.g Esports VS Brion Esports MAP 2 - 0 - PICK WIN

As expected from Gen.G they are really something and right now their hard work really paid off, they are now the lead on the standings, In Game 1 against Brion, Blade GEN.G made 63.7k gold, 14 kills, and 8 towers while Brion blade has 60.4k gold, 10 kills, and 5 towers, while on game 2 Gen.G got 65.4k gold 15 kills and 7 towers, while Brion blade has 56.2k gold, 9 kills, and 4 towers, dominating this game Gen.G was the victory,

Sandbox Gaming VS T1 MAP 2 - 0 - PICK LOST Correct Map Score 2 - 0 - LOST

I really didn't expect this to happen, T1 losing to Sandbox, is still mind-boggling, I thought that in the 2nd game T1 will surely make a comeback but the SANDBOX have dominated them this time, their gameplay has started to crumble but they still did a great job in getting this far, and 2nd place is not so bad,

2786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 10, 2022, 08:43:36 AM

Well, maybe that blogger was right that Casimero has a high chance to defeat Donaire than the other way around, I mean we saw Donaire's recent performance and we can really say that he ain't that much of the Filipino Flash anymore that we used to know. And I think going down in Super Flyweight division will be a good start for Donaire before he retires soon.

Well, I sure hope that all we are saying here are wrong, I don't really want Donaire to lose his hope in giving another fight to Inoue but I think he is fighting not because of that urge in getting 1 win over Inoue, I think that is what's happening to him right now, Naoya Inoue becomes Donaire's drive to continue, because in reality many boxers will lose their hope, and stumble along the way but for Nonito Donaire saying that he will go down a division and get another belt, then comes back to fight Inoue again, there is some drive that forces him to say such things, and the goal is to defeat Naoya Inoue,



That was a really scary record, 100% KO!  Well, I read that Vergil will be staying in the welterweight division until he gets a title.  

"I’m staying at welterweight until I get that first title" - Vergil Ortiz Jr. wants to stay at 147 pounds until he is a world champion[1]

That was his statement and he also stated that once he gets the belt, he will not wait for the 2nd belt if it will take too long and move up in weight division.


Well, at least he is determined, to stay and get a title for himself, Virgil Ortiz Jr. seems very cautious with his record, and pretty much he wants to retire in having just a win over a KO/TKO, I have remembered that Francis Ngannou once have this kind of mentality, if you know the guy from UFC, he is winning with KO/TKO's and Submission, only but once he fought Cyril Gane he won by Decision, and yes he has an injury back then, even though he badly want to win via  KO/TKO or submission, a decision win is still a victory, Francis Ngannou is not a Boxer yet but maybe if the fight against Tyson Fury have settled a conclusion,

1/1.

The Storm made a storm in the Sky's home court. The lead got close to single digits (7 if I remember correctly) but it was not enough as the Storm are hot on the 3 point line. They didn't let them get back as it will be a big trouble if they do so. High scoring game which is rare. Those who bet for "over" are winners today.

Connecticut Sun on the other hand did not let me down defeating the LA Sparks in a blownout game.

Well, the game for the Chicago Sky against the Seattle Storm can really go a different route than what I am expecting but I just don't want to risk not taking the Chicago Sky side, on this one, but that is one  juicy odds if I have flip side for the storm,

but anyway moving on with the result for my pick and bet

Chicago Sky VS Seattle Storm SCORE 100 - 111 - LOST

Gabby Williams is racking up some points here and is firing up as we have never seen her before doing something like this, because she is not usually doing this at all, and she is not consistent at all, there are plays that she is doing her usual, but this time she is different, in this game, well I think that has taken the Chicago Sky by surprise, and congrats to people that bet for Seattle Storm,


L.A. Sparks VS Connecticut Sun SCORE 71 - 97 - WIN

Connecticut Sun was that dominant from start to finish, but pretty much the L.A. Sparks also did their all with Nneka Ogwumike, Brittney Sykes, and Jordin Canada have done their best but it is not enough because of the amazing performance of Jonquel Jone's double-double score of 10 rebounds and 21 points, and pretty much all players have given their share of points for the team,

I think I am blaming Izzy because he is champion. I am demanding something more from him, 200% in every fight, I give him no discounts. Like in video games, when you fight a final boss, you dont expect the fight to be as other fights against regular goons. It it always entertaining to watch Izzy before the fight, after the fight, when he is preparing or trashtalking. But when it comes to a fight, he is to cautious, he waits to counter strike.

From Russia MMA community: There was a tournament recently, where in finals two fighters from same gym met. Their fight looked more like sparring. Both fighters instead of dealing max damage or striking with full power, prefer to do punctuated beats. The crowd did not like that. Little remark, it was somewhere in Dagestan, or fighters were from Dagestan. People from there are hot blooded. Of course they dont like such main event fight. The fight saved president of that organization. He has entered the octagon, stopped the fight and claimed it as no contest. Fighters did not get bonuses and good rewards. Was this a right decision ? Towards fighters probably not, towards spectators, absolutely yes.

(this is a reply to Adesanya vs Romero fight, as you have mentioned them, and this fight was rather boring to warch)

Well, It is your right to blame any fighter that you think is not entertaining, and surely we all have different perspectives here, and I respect your opinion, it is just good that we are throwing at each other what we think about certain fighters, what we think about their style and skills, surely I am in no disposition to say what is right and what is wrong, but I think we all have our own understanding with things and I respect that,

Well I think in other places that kind of fight is really not tolerable and for a mad audience about the fight, I think the organizer should have done something about it, but it is still a different thing, an official match on the UFC and a fight outside the UFC is a pretty different thing aswell,

But I also agree with you that the Adesanya VS Romero fight was a kick-on-the-gut fight and it should not happen again, and Romero is just copying what Adesanya is doing which is very distasteful, and knowing how Yoel Romero fought, was really a spectacle to see,


I could see the main event being a scenario for a live bet for Vera.  Vera usually starts slow and gets better as the fight goes.  So being a 5 rounder could be in Vera's favor.  Earlier this year or was it late last year, Stunna of Stake said they were opening the MMA market for live betting this year.  But anyway...  Yeah, I guess live bet Vera after R1 or R2.

Here's some replays of both.

There's more replays for tape study in both MMACore sites.

Have fun.  Wink

I could also say the same, right now Marlon Vera is used to a full 5th round fight and it also applies for Dominick Cruz, but for me, I am going with a well-rounded fighter, and that is Marlon Vera, and I haven't seen if there are a double bet event for Marlon Vera on this one for stake.com, I will look for it maybe I haven't seen it, but last fight with Alexa Grasso both Vera and Grasso have a special bonus when you would bet and win for them,

2789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: August 09, 2022, 06:07:27 PM


3 games for later but I will be betting for 2.
Chicago Sky vs Seattle Storm - Sky -4.5
L.A. Sparks vs Connecticut Sun - Sun -7.5

Great picks will be putting my pick and what I think may happen with the games and I also got 2, and highlighted in green are my picks

Chicago Sky VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.47 for Sky while 2.50 for Storm, Li Yueru has Illness and can not play against the Seattle Storm, while Mercedes Russell is out for this Season for the Seattle Storm, I think if Ezi Magbegor could explode again this could be a win for the Storm, but if Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd are the only ones that pretty much have momentum the Chicago Sky could take up the win because in this match Sky has a lot of option in winning this so it is a safe place to bet, so I will be going with Chicago Sky,

L.A. Sparks VS Connecticut Sun

Stake odds for this game are 3.70 for the Sparks while 1.24 for the Sun, right now Kristi Toliver, Chiney Ogwumike, and Rae Burrell can not play for the Sparks, while Bria Hartley and Jasmine Thomas are out for this season, but pretty much in their last match back on May 15 the Connecticut Sun have won I think this match will likely be the same, with that many of an injury for the L.A. Sparks that would be a huge window of opportunity for the Sun,

2790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 09, 2022, 05:20:30 PM

We don't know about that.

Many will have just to agree with him whatever he thinks is best for him. He can have another match if he want to but it's not anymore with Inoue.

He can match with other boxers that he haven't taken yet and I guess that's where he should focused first before aiming for someone like Inoue again.

Well, right now Nonito Donaire is really focused on getting his 5th division belt, and after that a rematch for Naoya Inoue, he surely said it in the Article that I have read, but for me, it is really a hard fight for him to take another Inoue fight, well Donaire is just very Stubborn to surrender for sure and accept defeat, that is what kind of a person Nonito Donaire is, I surely agree that he just needs to fight boxers that he didn't fight before but for me pick a fight he can win, but again Nonito Donaire is not that kind of a boxer, he would surely want a challenge,

Last weekend Vergil Ortiz Jr. once again dominated and knocked out another opponent. His resume is very scary at a 19-0-19 record and with solid performances over tough former world champions and top contenders. When will this kid get a title shot? I followed him and Teofimo Lopez when they started their careers and I used to think that one day they will be fighting each other. Now Vergil is a welterweight and is yet to become champion while Teofimo already became a lineal and unified champ at lightweight and is now seeking his second division title. These 2 young stars have opposite personalities in boxing though as Teofimo is loud and arrogant while Vergil is humble and always smiling.
I'm surprised he's on welterweight division, it's a same division with Crawford and Spence, but this boxer never want to challenge a world champion. He's not really cherry pick his opponent since his opponent also have a good record, I think he's more focus about his record rather than making his name bigger by getting a belt. It's the first time I hear his name, maybe he wanted to get the belt when Crawford vs Spence have happened, so he will likely join the vacant belt.

You are right, I never heard about him aswell, seems like he's avoiding bigger fights but not cherry-picking a fight, he is just avoiding a title match that is all, but that record of 19 wins and all 19 knockouts was really tremendously good even though he is not likely to fight on a well-known match but he has held the WBO International welterweight title since 2021, and he is really known for his punching power and his knock-out percentage is currently at 100% he wouldn't want his good record to be tainted even with a Decision record,
2791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: August 09, 2022, 03:28:56 PM

Maybe boring was not the proper word, as my English is not that rich. I know the word dull, but that does not match perfectly also. Maybe a cocktail of boring, not entertaining enough, low dominant will be the right words to describe his fighting style in last fight. Maybe I am expecting a lot more from a division champion, then 5*5min fights. I just dont understand his cat and mouse games, until both of them gets exhausted. As a champion, I see a fighter that reads his opponent in first minutes, first round, adopt fighting style in second round and knocks or submits his opponent. That is persuasive win by a champion to me. But landing strikes for 5 rounds, getting damage and then win with help of judges. If there were no round limits, then they what, gonna fight for hours? Or do sparring ? Or show karate kata ?



Well I surely understand what you are saying and we surely have different opinions, and I also admit that Israel Adesanya is really not entertaining at times, he is constantly waiting for his opponent to strike, and when the time Yoel Romero also waited for him to strike the referee has scolded them that the judges needed to score a hit, but they are just taunting each other, pretty much a not so good fight for Israel Adesanya in my opinion, but when we look at some boxers who were hated because of their Style like Mayweather, this goes to prove that Israel Adesanya has picked the safest way possible for him in winning the fights, but yes it looks so boring for some fans to watch, and for some, it is still entertaining as long as Adesanya wins,

Quote

Adesanya's goal is to win, not to entertain you, or to run forward with a flurry of blows to make it interesting for you to watch the fight. He has a tactic that works for him that made him a champion and because he is a disciplined fighter he sticks to his strategy very well which allows him to remain a champion for a very long time. He has advantages that he skillfully uses, he knows how to work well at a distance and yes, his fights are often frankly boring, but I like Adesanya because he does what is best for him, and not for someone else.


Actually, his goal is to win and to entertain. If this is not an entertainment event, then there is no use to pay him that much. No entertainment, no spectators, no money. Simple rules of shows. If he does not want to entertain, then go back to gyms and fight in amateur fights. If you remember early their broadcasts, then you might also remember that there was a gladiator in an opening. Gladiators did not fight to win, they were entertainers.

"Disciplined fighter that sticks to his strategy". Ok, I agree with that. But 90% of UFC roster are disciplined guys that follow what their coach say. He is a champion - prove it on the ring, prove that you are better than others, knock your opponent out, so there will be no questions after the fight who is better and who is not. Skilful - prove it, show that you need only a minute to find breach in opponent defence and strike there. Instead of fighting for 25min and win because judges thought so. I bet you wont re-watch a football game, which has ended with 1-0 after a penalty on 90+4 minute, when both teams ball possession was 50% and that penalty was given under dubious circumstances and without help of VAR.


Both of you are correct and I like what you have said that his goal is to win and not to entertain, and TopTort777 has said that his goal is both to win and entertain, I think the right answer to this is up to Adesanya, he is the one who can surely say of what he wants, but for me, I am entertained in every fight he made, I have no issue what so ever with his style as long as he wins because I am a true fan, but seeing Alex Pereira has also made me a fan aswell but I am for Izzy, for their upcoming fight, because for me in my experience with watching the fights of Israel Adesanya, if we can blame someone for not giving us an entertaining fight I think we should blame both fighters because I believe, "it takes two to tango" and it is not only Izzy's fault but his opponent aswell for not getting into Israel Adesanya and make a Knockout win himself, for example, Jared Cannonier is the Cannon, and can surely knockout Adesanya for sure but why does he let Izzy do what he likes, I think many are blaming Izzy most of the time because he is the champion, but we don't really care about what his opponent did inside the octagon,

People are curious about Dortmund's performance because they are wondering how successful they will be after selling Haaland. They weren't too impressive against Leverkusen in their first league game but they still secured a 1-0 win. However it is obvious that they still need a significant improvement in their effort. This is not enough for staying in the title race mathematically for a long time. I'm not saying that they can keep up with Bayern Munich until the end but at least they can hold on for longer.

Leverkusen is an amazing team aswell, I surely will not underestimate them even though they have lost to Dortmund, well I really think Dortmund and Leverkusen  are equal teams, and the result can be either one around,  and for Dortmund, I think they are not completed yet, and right now the lost of Erling Haaland is a big adjustment for them, and right now Sebastien Haller is out because of his current condition, and Dortmund will have to suffice with their current rosters, And I think we need to give credit to Leverkusen as well they were after all landed in the 3rd position last season,


That is inseparable from the behavior of those who always make movements contrary to what Bundesliga fans expect. We are waiting for a move from Borussia Dortmund that can improve their performance to break the dominance that has been held by Bayern Munich for a very long time.
I personally have always been disappointed with the movement of Dortmund from year to year.

In the last season because of Erling Haaland's injuries he has lost game appearance, and surely I know we can not blame it because that is an injury, but can we blame it aswell the whole team? I guess we can all assume they surely need to put more effort into making a new way if Haaland is not on the team, but I think they have a possibility to win against Bayern Munich when they still have Erling Halland, and right now their expected new Halland Sebastien Haller is not with them because of tumor cancer,

Although I rarely watch the 2022 WNBA Season, but I see many gambling sites that make bets for the WNBA basketball team, there are several Live Streaming tournaments that I see, from some of the match data that I saw, it seems that there are four teams that are the most talked about and the best in the WNBA 2022 tournament, such as the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Suns, Seattle Storm, Las Vegas Aces.

Maybe, if the 2022 WNBA tournament is fun and worth betting on, maybe I will consider it later and I will follow further developments, especially for the 4 WNBA teams I mentioned above.

Well, we can not really compare the excitement and action with the regular NBA but it is worth trying, I know the action may not be as good as when Stephen Curry made an incredible run and gun to the ring or a cross-over to another player, but it is a worth to try and watch and regarding those 4 notable teams that you have mention mainly they are the pinnacle of success for the WNBA that is why there are people still watching this game, and apparently there are women that want to be in sports like these, so giving them the opportunity to play in this kind of league will surely help them aswell,

for me as an audience I am used to those slow pace kinds of games because that is the type of thing growing and watching the Phillippine basketball or PBA here in my country, and yes entering the NBA league is a dream for a fully breed Pinoy like Kai Sotto, well the WNBA has the same vibes like our local PBA, so I am used to it, and surely now that there are no NBA at the moment it is a good thing that I get to bet on a basketball league that surely available at the moment,



Result for today's game in the WNBA

Dallas Wings VS New York Liberty SCORE 86 - 77 - WIN

In actuality, the New York Liberty can not keep their pace, but they have made a lead in the 3rd quarter only until the Dallas Wings gain momentum in destroying them in the 4th quarter, Sabrina Ionescu has erupted 32 points, but it is still not enough because the Dallas wings have Allisha Gray with 18 points and Marina Mabrey with 31 points gaining a win over New York Liberty,

^  It's a shame that Grasso vs Araujo was cancelled.  That and the main event between Vera and Cruz are the only match ups worthy for a main card imho.  These other ones are good but for prelims.  This event is just like the last event.  Lots of fillers but pretty sure some of the are sleepers...  Besides the main event, Bruno Silva vs GM3 could be good and Landwehr vs Onama.

Anyway, I'm back and forth on who to pick for the main event.  Who you guys got?  Take note that San Diego is where Cruz is from.

Date:  Saturday, August 13
Main Card (PPV):  7:00pm EST
Preliminary Card (ESPN/ESPN+):  4:00pm EST
Venue:  Pechanga Arena, San Diego, California, United States

Main Card (ESPN/ESPN+)
Bantamweight:  Marlon Vera vs.   Dominick Cruz      
Featherweight:  Nate Landwehr vs David Onama
Middleweight:  Gerald Meerschaert vs Bruno Silva   

Preliminary Card (ESPN/ESPN+)
Women's Bantamweight:  Ariane Lipski vs Priscila Cachoeira         


Well, it really happens and this time problem with her Visa was the cause, but I think we can still see her next event and Viviane Araújo hasn't fought another fighter aswell, so we can still see these two fight it out,

And for me the fights you see there and that I have not erased are what for me is not able to look at, 1st was the Marlon Vera VS Dominick Cruz which for me Vera will really need to be more technical here, but will look further in details, 2nd Nate Landwehr VS David Onama, 3rd was Gerald Meerschaert VS Bruno Silva, and lastly the fitting kitten last event that has been canceled, Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira,


At least this fight is not going to be boring. Yes, boring. Recent Adesanya fights are quite boring. His level of striking is on a level higher than his recent opponents, but he does not do much aggression in octagon. Yes he is fighting as number one in the fight. But he is not really aimed to finish quickly his opponent. Instead he is gaining points. Before UFC he was knocking people out. In UFC - he has knockout a noname, drunk Costa and caught Whittaker. After he got his belt, he became very cautions. Last 3 fight, dominant but boring. Pereira will force Izzy to wake up!

Well, Another wake-up call for Israel Adesanya I guess, but for me, his fight was not boring at all, he just learn to be more cautious that is all, I really think because of his fight with Alex Pereira he has been woke up to be more technical in his approached and poof a cautious Israel Adesanya was born, but I don't really know the real reason why he is not smashing and knocking out his opponent, but this goes to show that he is on the technical side of every fight, and I think it is just safer that way, and for me, if you would see that side of him maybe you will understand as well, but for this upcoming UFC 281 it will be a war, Izzy will need to change his tactics because Alex Pereira already know all of it,

Most teams are qualified except for those that are in the bottom 3 based on: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/PGL/Arlington_Major/2022
The standings on the group stages are not that important if these bottom three will have to win these games because they already have the idea of which bracket they'll come to just to survive this. But sadly, there will really be 3 teams that will be out after this day ends. It's the crucial part for the bottom 3 and I think RNG and Team Liquid shouldn't be confident because even if they also have the last match, it's likely that they'll go at the bottom too based on points. It's complicated for me to compute it but we will see.

WOW! I am new to the PGL Dota 2 gaming but it seems I can not fight the gaming bet on stake.com on the upcoming games of Entity Esports VS OG and PSG.LGD VS BOOM ID sorry it seems there are no available bets on Stake.com, where do you bet for the Arlington Majors? and it seems that I can not find it,



But back on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022 this game is for August 10 games I am too early for it but I will be giving my though and my picks

Gen.g Esports VS Brion Esports

Stake odds for this game are 1.03 for GEN.G while 10.00 for Brion Blade, it seems after GEN.G destroyed T1 on their game last July 30 many are so much pouring their bet with GEN.G, and this one is a total Destruction and right now GEN.G has 15 wins and 1 lost, while Brion Blade has only 3 wins and 13 losses, well, right now it is not profitable to bet for this so I will stay away from betting even the Correct Map Score betting is also not profitable but my pick is GEN.G to win with  2 - 0 Map Score,

Sandbox Gaming VS T1 Correct Map Score (1 - 2)

Stake odds for this game are 3.30 for Sandbox while 1.31 for T1, this one it is really sure that T1 will prevail again, but Sandbox can sure able to win 1 map but that is all they can do, right now Sandbox has 11 wins and 5 losses, while T1 has 14 wins and 2 losses, for me this is a slight profitable bet but will check on if the odds will still  stay the same, for the Correct Map Score I will bet on 1 - 2 with 3.15 odds, and T1 will win and my pick,

WOW! congrats on your win I haven't gotten any bets yet because I was busy with something but luckily you guys are still posting in the WNBA thread, in my absence, well I haven't seen the good match with the Chicago Sky VS Connecticut Sun I think it is a war and a close match to that will be watching the highlights and maybe I could post my picks later,
Yes. It was like a war, almost like a playoff game.
I didn't take a bet on this one as it's one of the unpredictable moments. And just like I expected it was not going to be easy for the Sun to win it against the Sky.

1st quarter was a big mess, too many turnovers from the Sun while the Sky took advantage of it.
2nd quarter was almost the same, the lead was not cut that much. But the 3rd quarter though, that's when it all began. Sun crawled back to tie the game and even better, took the lead. They went back and forth just like their last meet and ended with a 3-point miss. Dejavu.
Sky won.

It was a 1st quarter mess for the Connecticut Sun, and Candace Parker take the 1st point with a 3-point shot, as we can see both Parker and Vandersloot have made a tremendous lead in the 1st quarter for the Chicago Sky, While the Connecticut Sun is slicing slowly the lead of the Chicago Sky because after the 1st quarter the Connecticut Sun has flipped the table and they are now cutting the Sky's lead in the 2nd quarter, well it was really a close game but the Connecticut Sun didn't make any lead but still, they have kept the score into a low minimum,



Now, that game has settled this is my pick for tomorrow's game,

Dallas Wings VS New York Liberty

Stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Wings while 2.35 for the Liberty, Right now injuries for Dallas Wings are Arike Ogunbowale and Satou Sabally, who is out indefinitely and has an Ankle Injury, while Liberty has  Natasha Howard, that has an ankle injury and Betnijah Laney that has a Knee injury, definitely, Ogunbowale is a great asset for the Wings, but both Howard and Laney are key players for the Liberty, but the Wings still have Isabelle Harrison, Marina Mabrey, and if Allisha Gray can further explode his game then Wings still have their chance while the Liberty only has Sabrina Ionescu, and Han Xu if they stop the Wings from gaining a score, for me I will be going with the Dallas Wings,

I have no doubts about Chicago Sky.

It was also the addition of Candace Parker that made it possible. 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
But the star of the night was Kahleah Copper who lead their offense with 19 points and 5 rebounds.
I was thinking about that bet of Over 156+, I should've taken it. My clue was Mystics was always going over 80 or just less by 5. Could've been a better win. It's nice to see Parker back in the field.

WOW! congrats on your win I haven't gotten any bets yet because I was busy with something but luckily you guys are still posting in the WNBA thread, in my absence, well I haven't seen the good match with the Chicago Sky VS Connecticut Sun I think it is a war and a close match to that will be watching the highlights and maybe I could post my picks later,



Update to the Brittney Griner Elon Musk has given his opinion on the case of Brittney Griner he is questioning Joe Biden why he pushed something like this and did not give care to people that have the same case on their own soil if the president is pushing someone that has sentence for some weed in Russia to be free, he then added that we should also free people with the same sentence here in America,

But maybe because of the case he commits on Russian Soil, she should also serve jail time when she gets back to the U.S. when the following swap would be successful, I also think that Brittney Griner should also be serving jail time when she gets back because she had committed some offense, with Illegal drugs,

We all want the best for him.

No doubt that Inoue is on the next level and Donaire, whether we like it or not is really no match on him. And it makes no sense anymore for him to have another match if he still can't accept that defeat or ever thinks of it again.

Well, we just surely want what is best for him, but he sure knows his limits more than anyone, well, maybe he is thinking of 1 last fight against Naoya Inoue before he retired completely, and I really hope he could win it, but in my analysis with Naoya Inoue I am just comparing their 1st and 2nd fight, Naoya Inoue is completely in a different level now, for me I would compare him to Ryan Garcia, the speed and power combination is very unbelievable, well this is just my assessment on the skills on Naoya Inoue, Nonito Donaire is not within reach, for me I will be aiming for easier fights,



Right now I just saw on the news as for Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya said that they are abandoning the negotiations regarding the Ryan Garcia VS Gervonta "TANK" Davis fight and will be moving on to another opponent, and De La Hoya added that no one is answering to his calls regarding the fight and he thinks they are given the run-around, so it was really depressing to say but they will not going with the fight anymore and will be moving on,

I really think this is sad news to read and for me, I really want to see these two clashes and I think a lot of fans would likely to see this aswell, but yeah Mayweather Promotions is not answering, but I think Dela Hoya should just go directly to Gervonta Davis because I thought that he has moved out of the Mayweather Promotions? so likely to say he should have gone directly to Gervonta Davis himself,

Here are the results for Yesterday's game on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Nongshim Redforce VS T1 MAP 1 - 2 - PICK WIN - NO BET

I didn't bet on this game because it is not going to be profitable and this is going to be a sure T1 win, they have lost to GEN.G last time so they will likely need a win this time, I don't know if this is their strategy but giving the 2nd map to Nongshim and obliterated them on the last Map was not really I am expecting, but it did, well Map 1 was really domination for T1 having 58.7 gold, 16 kills and 10 towers while Nongshim has 46.6k gold, 9 kills, and 1 tower, while Map2 has a win for Nongshim, with 67.1k gold 21 kills and 11 towers, while T1 has 56k gold, 2 kills and 4 towers, and on the 3rd Map T1 really outdid it, with 67.4k gold, 20 kills, and 9 towers, while Nongshim has 60k gold, 15 kills, and 3 towers, well, another dominating game for T1,

Freecs VS DragonX MAP 0 - 2 - PICK WIN - Correct Map Score LOST

I may have lost the Correct map score but the game was really something, DragonX has shown all of their tactics, in winning against Freecs, Map 1 with 69.7 gold, 17 kills, and 8 towers, while Freecs has 57.2k gold, 4 kills and no towers destroyed, while on Map 2 66.9k gold, 11 kills and 10 towers for DRX while Freecs has 57.2k gold, 6 kills and 2 towers, really gaining another win, DRX, could surely win maybe the mid teams on the League, and even though I lost the correct map score,  it was a worthy win for DRX,

On Nonito's future plans.

Well, this is perfect.

That's all I want to know and I thought that he would take the sentiment of his fans to just retire after he has lost to Inoue for the 2nd time. Still, he's got his prowess and all of that strength.

Hopefully, if he ever has another match to come he'll be able to redeem himself at least and gets a win.

I really wish the best for him, I really do, but it is really easier said than done, but after that Naoya Inoue fight I then realize how crazy Naoya Inoue has Improved and it was really a lot to think that their recent fight was really so close, and on the 2nd fight Naoya Inoue has easily defeated Nonito Donaire, I feel that he is not really suited for the Monster I think if he can get the belt on the Flyweight division for me to take dominance on that division then, just fight the money fights but knowing Nonito Donaire he doesn't want to give up and if he wants a 3rd fight with Naoya Inoue then we will surely see the 3rd match between them,


Maybe, Donaire feels that it is not yet time for him to retire, hence, still planning to fight.
Now, I am wondering if the fight of Donaire with Casimero will push thru.
Remember, they have disagreements why they haven't fought?
Anyway, whatever his next plans will be, hope that he can achieve what he wants to achieve before he hang up his gloves.

Well, there are no further plans for that fight to come thru, but if many would like to see that fight happen I think some management will likely for that fight to come to fruition but for Casimero, he is aiming to start over because of his actions, and Nonito Donaire would not want his record to be tainted if he fights Casimero, or he doesn't want to take part on John Riel Casimero's FiascoI really think right now these two is more focus on their goals now than with their misunderstandings, so they keep aside their squabbles and for Nonito Donaire, a Flyweight belt to be added and become a 5th division title holder, and for John Riel Casimero he needs to move along because he got a lot to do and work his way up again,
