281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 29, 2023, 10:47:16 AM


I'm still curious about how Xabi Alonso works in giving roles to their two fullbacks, because Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have so far contributed fully to goals and assists for Leverkusen. Who would have thought that these two fullbacks have contributed a total of 27 goals in all competitions and most recently they also scored 1 goal each in Leverkusen's win against Werder Bremen last week.

I feel these two players are very rare for their position and as long as they are there Leverkusen will still be productive in the future. But maybe the problem will be that when a team comes to start making offers, it will definitely be very difficult for Leverkusen to refuse them. But as much as possible Leverkusen should reject the offer because they are still on their way to winning the Bundesliga title and perhaps we will see the possibility of both leaving in the summer.

Not just those two but if you look at the start of the players on Leverkusen you can see that  Victor Boniface and  Jonas Hofmann are not really that behind and can also have great fundamentals for this team and the way I see it I think Xavi Alonso is a really great trainer and the teacher even though he is a former player of Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, and doesn't have that kind of record as a player for sure he is a great mentor and teacher as we can see in what he has done with the Bayer Leverkusen, for sure along with Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong, Victor Boniface, and  Jonas Hofmann will also become a great player for this team,


I would guess that it is understandable for them to not have a great season, not every team could end up having a great season and that's understandable, I believe that it has to be something fine and that will be ok, as long as they do not end up relegating, it just means they have one more season to play and do better and that's the type of approach they should have.

I think Bayern basically ruins everyone's system, because you know you are not going to win the title even before the season starts, there are only a very few teams who could try to win it, but the whole league aside from like two maybe three teams knows they are not going to be champions, it's like that for many leagues obviously and not just bundesliga, but it's a hard idea.

For certain reasons, it is really understandable even though Bayern Munich ended up losing against Leverkusen ending up in the 2nd spot of the standing isn't a bad record for sure but for sure the dominance in the Bundesliga will be rocked and many for sure will certainly recognize what Xabi Alonso had accomplished here and with just short time he transformed the Bayer Leverkusen into a stronger team,

For sure many teams have already taken the risk of not competing with Bayern Munich but for success, and just handed it down to Bayern Munich but for sure Bayern Munich will not get this the hard way, and it was all because of Bayer Leverkusen,


Bayern Munich have made the right choice when they sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. It's very important for the Bavarians to sign a replacement for the top striker who created a vacuum space in the frontline, but now they don't have to worry any longer because the ultimate striker have become the best signingn for the club this season. Harry Kane have arrived and will enjoyed every best moments in Bayern Munich. Thomas Tuchel just have to restrategized his squad for the purpose to ensure they are fit enough to compete in major tournaments this season.

No doubt about it Harry Kane is a genuine player and for sure after he signed up for Bayern Munich he wanted to try up immediately if he could manage to get along with the team without ever training hard with them, it was a failure to win a match, but for sure it was an excellent opportunity for him to study his teammate's mobility, and style with their play, he is accessing a great play in his mind by watching the teams play,

What a year for Max.
All the records have been destroyed, it will be hard to beat all that he has done.

We need to wait the time when we will have 30 GP per year  Grin

Zak Brown the CEO of McLaren has a good explanation of why the 24 GP is enough for F1 and more than that is surely too much for the F1 to take if you suggest a 30 GP for sure I think you should hear what Zak Brown has to say I think RDbase have posted the video in here is the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfYGMkZnQ_I

For sure 30 Grand Prix in 1 season will surely cover a lot and will also cover December month and the F1 could start in an early month for sure instead of February they will start the race in January and that will be a lot of money consuming for sure,



Now that the F1 is finished with their Calendar it will be another long wait for us to witness another F1 Race for sure, and while we are waiting I have news on the F1 Academy, for sure I want to cover this up in this thread as this is included in the F1 aswell, for sure Bianca Bustamante is now representing McLaren, right now there are 2 new F1 Academy racers that will represent the team in the F1 and that is Lia Block will be joining the F1 Academy grid with the Williams and Tina Hausmann to represent Aston Martin in the F1 Academy, this coming 2024,

Actually, I only got 1 win out of 4 and it is really a bad day for me right now well this is the result of my game yesterday

Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards SCORE 107 - 126 - LOST

For sure I thought that the Detroit Pistons could win this but Kyle Kuzma blew it up and right now the Washington Wizard didn't let Jordan Poole have his way in this game and just played 25 minutes in this game but maybe it is because of his injury but for sure let the Wizards done this because Kyle Kuzma is doing great on his own, and almost getting triple-double that is for sure, but yeah no thanks to Jordan Poole, and Kyle Kuzma is enough with a Double-double of 12 rebounds 8 assist and 32 points almost a triple-double for this game,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 138 - 94 - WIN

The Philadelphia 76ers are really crashing this for sure from start to finish the 76ers are killing the Los Angeles Lakers and stopping both Lebron James and Antony Davis it was really hardcore for sure, the Los Angeles Lakers are lost in the tandem of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid with Tyrese Maxey getting 31 points, and Joel Embiid with Triple-double of 11 rebounds, 11 assists, and 30 points,

Utah Jazz VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 114 - 112 - LOST

Close game for sure, and the Utah Jazz without Lauri Markkanen was having a hard time with the New Orleans Pelicans I really thought that the Pelicans would win this as the Pelicans got their main players but for sure Keyonte George and the rest of the Utah Jazz got a great spread and for sure Jordan Clarkson done a great job with the team plays getting a double-double of 10 assists and 16 points for this game I really never expect that and for sure Clarkson has learned his lesson back on Fiba that he can not solo all the work,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 104 -113 - LOST

For sure I was wrong about getting a bet against the Denver Nuggets but because Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can not play the game the Denver Nuggets still nailed it, and Reggie Jackson just did this with a double-double of 13 assists and 35 points, while DeAndre Jordan got a double-double aswell of 13 rebounds and 21 points, and losing another game for me,

But there individuals, that became champions or have a title fight in just 3-4 fights. And they start their journey unranked. Look how I see current situation. Take any lightweight or lower division. There are fighting tiers. Champion-top6, top7-top15, rest of division. And these guys fight between each other all the time only. If you are a good fighter, maximum you would achieve is being among "rest of division". Maybe Gods of random be kind to you, and someone from top15 will withdrew from fight due to injury and Gods will be double kind to you and you would be selected by match makers.

For sure the UFC is doing something to arrange the rankings and the fights for the Ranking are there for a reason, but the pound-for-pound rankings are just media bias, and if a fighter defeats a fighter in a higher ranking then he will be replaced for sure we can not say that the matchmakers are making matches that is unfair to fighters because the rankings exist because of that, and this is in every division for sure,


Sure Tsarukyan is the rightful favorite...  He's younger and more athletic.  But then does that totally negate Dariush as a fighter?  Don't forget that Dariush beat Gamrot, the guy who Tsarukyan.  I think the line is wide at 3.20 for Dariush.  That's just around 30% implied probability.  Surely Dariush could make the match closer and prolly even go his way.  Unless he got KO'd as he tends to be on the chinny side.

Here's a replay for Tsarukyan.

UFC Free Fight:  Tsarukyan vs Silva
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3UhiYXiEQw

Anyway, who you guys have for Font vs Fig?

Actually, that was pretty much a close fight but Beniel Dariush had a great takedown defense and after seeing the fight of Gamrot against Rafael Fiziev it was an injury and not because of the defense of Gamrot so for sure Mateusz Gamrot doesn't do that much it means Rafael Fiziev injured himself, while Gamrot vs Tsarukyan is a close fight Mateusz Gamrot wrestling was really amazing in that fight but Arman Tsarukyan kicks were so phenomenal, but for me, it was a robbery and Arman Tsarukyan won that and the judges and even the announcers didn't see the 4th round knockdown by Tsarukyan to Mateusz Gamrot which is a bummer if you watch the fight again you would clearly see that in the 4th round so for sure this is a really controversial fight,

285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 28, 2023, 11:23:23 AM
-snip--
Bayern Leverkusen this season under Alonso is a different team entirely, they have the best performance so far in the Bundesliga this season with eleven win and one draw in the Bundesliga campaign this season.
Their consistency is very perfect which has dragged so much attention to the team because the manager is managing his average players to compete with Bayern and Dortmund that have lots of world class players in their midst.

Their next match will be a tough one against Dortmund; they have been suffering defeat against them in the past, and history sometimes repeat itself, but this time I think it will be another story because Leverkusen based on current form and performance are better than Dortmund. Therefore, I don’t expect Dortmund to win or even play them draw.

I agree! and it is all thanks to Xavi Alonso which is some rumors speculate that Madrid is offering Xavi Alonso something so he can be a coach on their team is sure it is up to him if he would want that offer or not but given his short time with Bayer Leverkusen we can say this is a rare coaching talent all the praise goes to Xavi Alonso but for sure Alonso is turning Leverkusen's average players to natural talent, just like Alejandro Grimaldo,  Victor Boniface, Jonas Hofmann and Jeremie Frimpong that are now making good plays for the Leverkusen I think we can not take out the credit on those players maybe Xavi Alonso was a great impact for those players for playing such unique play,

This is a worst transformation for Union Berlin. The way they perform well last season, I never expect them to hi bad this season, but nevertheless, that’s the game of football.

For now, I can not see any glimpse of hope for Union Berlin they seem like stock in the last season where they are doing great and have gotten so much confidence that they can do it again, which is what every team in the Bundesliga is doing right now, they want to be number 1 in this league and Union Berlin just got stock in the loop last season,


The most competitive competition is between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich because the two are much closer, but Leverkusen's consistent performance to date has made it difficult for Bayern Munich to shift their position in the standings. There is an opportunity to shift Leverkusen's position when the two meet in the second leg, but it looks like it will be a little more difficult because in the first leg Leverkusen managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw at the Allianz Arena.

Both Dortmund and Stuttgart are far from catching up to the first and second standings because of the difference in points so it will be quite difficult for both of them to catch up. For me, it is not yet time to judge who will emerge as Bundesliga champions, but I hope that Leverkusen will continue to be a strong challenger to Bayern Munich until the season ends.

Both teams are great they are the most dominant team in the Bundesliga I fear for Harry Kane getting into Bayern Munich as he wants to have a championship for himself but it looks like Leverkusen will not allow that to happen and it seems that the Harry Kane curse was true all along, but for sure Bayern Munich will have something in their disposal to get this done,

The Bucks just pulled off a nice comeback win over the Trail Blazers. They were down by 13 entering the fourth quarter but it was no problem for Dame and the squad to outscore the Trail Blazers 33 to 14 in the final quarter to secure the win. Giannis was no slouch either, as him and Dame both scored more than 30 points each.

It was now a great tandem it seems that the constant training with each other paid off you can now see the coordination of Damian with the other players it has some progress but yeah his position with the team can truly progress if he constantly moves the ball to the other team and make team plays but there are many ball hugging that is happening when it comes to Dame time, but it truly progress a little but there is a needed improvement for sure, because he is working with a team that is good with the right kind of team play,

No Durant and the Suns are still winning the game currently. Gordon and Booker seem to be holding it down so far. Knicks better get someone besides Brunson going or they're not gonna have a chance in this game.

I like it when a certain team doesn't need all of their main pieces to win a game and this is also not an easy feat for the Phoenix Suns because the New York Knicks now is not a pushover team and it is likely that the Phoenix Suns is having a hard time against them as the game was a close one 3 points and the game will be a tie, and the Suns doesn't have any stamina to continue the game any further, that means Jalen Brunson with the help of Immanuel Quickley could easily take the rhythm towards the game and could win this game,


LeBron continues to break records; that's him, and he is truly deserving to be called the king, although not yet the GOAT, and may never replace MJ as the greatest of all time. I know LeBron will have more seasons in the NBA, and whatever he achieves, I think it might take centuries before it is surpassed.

With his age right now and still breaking records and breaking teams for sure and even though the Los Angeles Lakers keep on losing every game the Lakers still are profiting with Lebron James is on the team and for sure they are still readying for the team to enter the play-offs even if they fall down in a lower seed, this is what I am seeing just like last season, as the Los Angeles Laker and even the Miami Heat have done something like this,

287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 27, 2023, 09:34:18 PM

Sure, there are dozens, if not hundreds fighters in each division, but the top fighter (or champs) will not be matched up with anybody ranked below the top 10 or the top 15. If they did, the purpose of rankings would be moot.
I'm sure UFC had figured out methods to determine what match ups will yield them the most money, which should go in line with what the fans prefer to see. And of course superstars like McGregor will be picky in choosing/accepting their opponents, but that's a different story.

But looking at Volk, I perfectly understand why he decided to jump up (even only temporarily). He already beat the top contenders (some of them multiple times) so it's either this or fighting lower-ranked guys that haven't yet proved they deserve the title shot. I don't think anyone outside the top 6 should be fighting for the belt, as, sport-wise, that's simply unfair. Luckily in that division we have Topuria who moved up to the top 5 contender and will be fighting Volk next, he's undefeated and looked really good in his last few fights.

For me, I am OK with the ranking system but for sure used that in determining who's going to fight next let's say they can fight a 2-rank higher fighter I think that is OK enough but as long as the Ranking was used I am pretty much solid with that actually Ranking should have serve as a purposed and to determine who is next in line for that certain fighter, then the ranking should be like that,

Volkanovski for sure has gone up the division for the belt but for some sad reason he lost touch with his fight with Islam Makhachev, and he was sloppy because he didn't have the camp that could help him with the fight for sure he needed the money but for sure ones, a determination is much needed into order to win but for sure I also like Ilia Topuria,


he must have given them the chance because he is also gaining those matches. i have yet not noticed UFC politics during those days but i think Dana was more confidence in the fighters that he allowed to do cross.  

but obviously, Dana also has favoritism among the fighters that he wants to make it to the top. the ones who kiss his ass often get multiple title shots in the same weight class but not even fighting to earn his next title shot.

All we can do is speculate, but for sure they have given Conor McGregor too much credit because McGregor is one of the cash cows of the UFC and they tend to be more biased with the fighters that likely will give them profit, for sure Jon Jones right now has the same or should we say near treatment as McGregor as we all know Dana White is ready to give Tyson Fury for Jon Jones on a boxing match,

The result of the Benavidez VS Andrade fight actually a great fight for David Benavidez, it was Round 6 retirement from his opponent while Jermall Charlo had a decent time by defeating Jose Benavidez Jr. For sure it was a great event but we have a next boxing event coming this weekend,

Benavidez vs. Andrade

David Benavidez DEF Demetrius Andrade - KO/TKO, RETIREMENT
Jermall Charlo DEF Jose Benavidez Jr - DECISION, UNANIMOUS
Subriel Matias DEF Shohjahon Ergashev - KO/TKO, RETIREMENT
Lamont Roach Jr. DEF Hector Garcia - DECISION, SPLIT
Michel Rivera DEF Sergei Lipinets - DECISION, UNANIMOUS

In most of the boxing fights here, the result is expected and now that this event is finished, we will be having a great event next and it is between Garcia VS Duarte, and we also have the UFC even, for the MMA fans,






289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: November 27, 2023, 05:53:41 PM
Here are my bets for the upcoming NBA game for today

Detroit Pistons VS Washington Wizards
 
The stake odds for this game are 1.71 for the Detroit Pistons and 2.19 for the Wizards, for this game Malcolm Cazalon has an Illness and is questionable if he can play for the Pistons, Joe Harris has a Shoulder injury Bojan Bogdanovic has a Calf injury and Monte Morris has a Quadriceps, and all can not play for the Detroit Pistons while Jordan Poole has an Ankle injury and is questionable if he can play Ryan Rollins, and Delon Wright both have knee injuries and can not play for the Wizards for this game, for this game, both of this game can be a close match but for sure the Chemistry of the Wizards is not well establish so for this game I think that the Detroit Piston will win this so my pick is the Detroit Pistons,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the 76ers and 2.75 for the Los Angeles Lakers, for this game Danuel House Jr. has a Quadriceps injury, Jaden Springer has an Illness, and Kelly Oubre Jr. has a Rib injury, and he can not play for the 76ers, while Cam Reddish has a Groin, LeBron James has a calf, and Anthony Davis on the hip injury and all are questionable if they can play for the Lakers, Jarred Vanderbilt has a heel injury Rui Hachimura has a nose injury, and Gabe Vincent that has a knee injury and all can not play for the Lakers and for me because of so much injury for the Lakers and the 76ers is doing great I think my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Utah Jazz VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 2.50 for the Jazz and 1.55 for the Pelicans, for this game Lauri Markkanen has a Hamstring injury, Jordan Clarkson has an Illness and both are questionable if they can play for the Jazz, while CJ McCollum, has a chest injury, Trey Murphy III gas a knee injury, and Matt Ryan has a calf injury and all can not play for the New Orleans Pelicans, and so for this game, because the Utah Jazz is having a hard time right now and the New Orleans is getting great results I am going with the New Orleans Pelicans,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Clippers and 2.75 for the Nuggets for this game Brandon Boston Jr., has a Quadriceps injury, and Mason Plumlee has a Knee and both players can not play for the Clippers, while Aaron Gordon has a Heel injury and is questionable if he can play for the Nuggets, Jamal Murray has a hamstring, and Vlatko Cancar has a knee injury and both can not play for the Nuggets, for this game the Clippers injury was really nothing in my opinion but the Nuggets they really needed Murray and Vlatko Cancar, so for this game I will be going with Los Angeles Clippers,


290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 27, 2023, 04:41:48 PM

If in fact, we must recognize that right now Bayern is one of the teams that are the strongest in Europe, this UCL will be very good because we are seeing the development of these teams and the emergence of some others, the case of Leverkusen It is unique and I could say, what a shame that Leverkusen is not in the UCL, because they really deserve it, however it is never that bad, and I hope that Xabi Alonso stays in that team although he would be a great signing for Madrid I would prefer the great Zizu more than Xabi himself, but because Xabi Alonso has done wonderfully, and I consider that when a person is doing well at his other club, he should stay there, but as Xabi himself has said, that If they don't need him in Madrid, he doesn't think about it but leaves immediately, that is something that I consider has a lot of loyalty, it is as if he were a lifelong player, in fact for me he is, very few are like that.

Now, things when it comes to how to make a player and coach do it and continue doing well, well, he can continue doing this, of course it is very good that this coach has this style of commitment to the club, but I think that things They can be much better when it comes to choosing a good coach, at the moment Tuchel is only doing wonderfully, I think things are pretty good for this team and the fact that Kane is in the team has greatly improved the team's face. Bayern, as I had said before, Bayern previously had a lot of problems being in it, the things that the president had to do traveling and traveling telling the president of the Spurs are things that happened and that at one time I thought he was not going to do it. able to arrive, so this was on the verge of almost going overboard when PSG wanted him, but fortunately Kane did not want to go to the French club and this is an added plus , because it was exclusive to go to Bayern, in a net of ideas we always We must see things as they are, that is why the Bern has been so Successful.


For sure they are not in the UCL because they didn't get the requirement back last season, but if they continue to be on the top of the standings then they can have a shot at the UCL for sure If Xavi Alonso could stay in the Bayer Leverkusen as there are rumors that some other teams would want Xavi Alonso on their team like Madrid want, but as you have said that you prefer Zizu, for me Xavi Alonso is amazing for sure as this is really what Bayer Leverkusen time to shine in the Bundesliga and many are likely wants Leverkusen to be champion but to cut down the dominance of the Bayern Munich,


They share points so that their position in the standings remains the same and they actually have a chance to improve their position because several teams above them have lost, but sometimes it's just mediocre to share points.
In the next match, both teams will face an equally tough match against Wolfsburg and Leipzig so Bochum and Heidenheim will still be in the same position unless Darmstadt and Mainz can win then they will drop in ranking.

Union Berlin is still unable to improve their situation even though they were able to draw against Augsburg and next week they will face a very difficult match so it is very likely that they will suffer another defeat and remain in the bottom two, and Union Berlin are one of the disappointing teams this season compared to last season, just like Mainz, who performed quite well last season, but this season they are still struggling to survive from bottom three.

For sure Leverkusen will be a team that still doesn't have any losses yet and that is kind of a different view for the fans because this is the 1st time that Bayer Leverkusen had a great game like this, as they never had a great game like this in the past, and we can say that they can also win against Bayern Munich but right now they are drawing the game against Bayern Munich,

While Union Berlin can not stand in this season anymore for sure they are having a hard time with every team right now, as Union Berlin is still in the Relegation,

After a good night, a bad night always comes knocking. Cheesy
1/4 on my last bets. The games become more unpredictable because of the In-Season tournament. Most teams are playing harder than expected or than the traditional season that we are used to. But this will be a good learning experience for us and will probably be a guide for next year.


So sad to hear that bro that was the really unlucky result for sure the In-Season Tournament is something that is really hard to predict and I was really having 2nd thoughts because some of the games that we thought might win ended up with a lost so it looks like we are getting a bad decision in betting for the NBA right now and actually I have made just 2 bets and I ended 1 is to 1 for my win, and I am pretty much OK with that,

Now here are my results for the games today on the NBA,


Orlando Magic VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 130 - 117 - WIN

The Charlotte Hornets have a great start on their 1st game but for sure the Orlando Magic has turned the tables quickly Paolo Banchero got 23 points, and Franz Wagner and Cole Anthony both got 30 points in this game, as I was lucky in getting into the Orland Magic,

New York Knicks VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 113 - 116 - LOST

The Phoenix Suns made a great win in this close game against the New York Knicks Immanuel Quickley, Julius Randle, and Jalen Brunson closed the gap between the Suns but the Phoenix Suns were really great in this game, as Jordan Goodwin got 14 points, Eric Gordon, got 25 points, and Devin Booker has a double-double of 11 assist and 28 points for this game,


292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 27, 2023, 02:37:12 PM

I would say that Jones is a rare natural talent in the UFC. Has good striking, great wrestling, agile footwork and the most highlight is an extraordinary fighting IQ. It was too crazy a talent. Like a cheat. I think God gave Jones the lack of discipline and willpower to balance out such talent. Sorry if I'm offended but just imagine, if a monster with that kind of talent had all the qualities of a fighter like Khabib, then I think LHW should be changed to Jon Jones Division Weight LOL.

Jon Jones is a natural talent and a likely great fight IQ, there is no doubt and I now agree after he defeats Ciryl Gane whom I was hyped about it comes to me that Jon Jones is a really special fighter and right now what I want is for Jon Jones to fight Tom Aspinall, for me that will be an epic fight for sure, as it will be a fight between a Heavy Weight and the Interim Heavy Weight Champion that will be an epic fight for sure,


I mean I think Jalin Turner should be the favorite but being on short notice I don't think he should be lined at 1.43.  And after the way we saw him lose vs Hooker?  No thank you.  He'll be at the bottom of my lottery ticket.  Lol.

As a single bet it's better to pass imho.  But gun on my head, I'd rather take Bobby Green at 2.95.  At least we know he'll come on there and bring it.  Turner on the other hand could have cardio issues.

I also think that it is not fair for Bobby Green to have this kind of odds, and for me, Bobby Green should be the favorite to win and this is also a short-notice fight, I think the fans will eventually flip the odds, and bet for Bobby Green because if not then for me I am OK with this kind of odds as it is more profitable when Bobby Green wins this fight,

I think Dana will never do cross promotion fights. UFC has been in business for tens years, and Dana only allowed Chuck Liddell to fight in Pride once (other promotion), Conor McGregor to have a boxing fight against Mayweather (boxer), James Toney (boxer) to fight against Randy Couture under mma rules and wrestler (the one that is a fake theatre) CM Punk fought 2 times unsuccessfully in UFC. That is it. Only 5 unusual behaviour or allowance from Dana during whole UFC life.

Well, Dana White right now doesn't really want any cross-promotions with other fighting organizations for sure Chuck Liddell fighting with Pride was just a 1-time gimmick for the UFC is experimenting with something if the fans would like something like that, and at the time I think the UFC have bought Pride from the Japanese and made it PrideFC and little did Dana White know that the people behind Pride made a new fighting promotion and they called it Dream and it looks like the UFC have bought air because as Dana White have said the people behind Pride is working under the UFC now,

Bayern Munich has been the only team that has been dominating the Bundesliga and no team seems to stop them even Dortmund who tried to stop them last season couldn't because they were too weak. Now we have Bayern Leverkusen trying their best to make life difficult for the champions (Bayern Munich).
I hope this isn't another Dortmund who struggled and lost the battle at the end when it all matters, I wish this team to do much better and get the trophy this season at least let's hear a different name as champions in the Bundesliga.

Let's wait until we see it happen for sure as Bayer Leverkusen is doing fine right now and just like Bayern Munich they still don't have any losses yet but got 1 draw from their game against Bayern Munich, for sure if Bayern Munich wants to get pass from the top standing of Leverkusen they need to continue on winning, while Bayern Munich need to defeat Bayer Leverkusen, to advance from Leverkusen,



Here are my results for my bet and predictions for the games today, it was a loss,

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS 1. FSV Mainz 05 GOAL 1 - 1 - LOST

Hoffenheim is not a great team right now and against Mainz who has many injuries they didn't manage to win it, so I am feeling a Union Berlin vibe with Hoffenheim right now, they can not be treated as reliable for sure, but for sure he game was super close but the fans and the bookies expected more from them for sure in giving Hoffenheim a huge edge on the odds and Hoffenheim is not really performing well for this game it was a huge upset and even though Mainz didn't win this game it was an upset for Hoffenheim as many relied to them to make a win,

I'd be careful putting him up against the likes of Kevin Durant.  He is one of the greatest of "our time" to lace them up.  The kid has skills but let's just all sit back and see how it plays out before we start annoying him.  I do worry at 7' 4" tall and as mobile as he is that he is going to go through his share of injuries.  Just hopefully he stays away from the brutal knee injuries that wreck big men's careers.

For sure it is too early to say that he is like Kevin Durant but we can not take that out of context for Victor Wembanyama, because there are still possibilities, and I think it has already been talked about in this thread, and sure we could be wrong about it for sure and for sure there are Jordan Poole that supposed to be Steph Curry's Successor until he is not for sure many could be wrong with Victor Wembanyama,


I think there was pressure indeed, they really have to win this one and doesn't need to be upset by the Spurs. And as you can see there are no blowouts, the Warriors just play perfectly fine just to win the game. It was Curry who lead the team, Saric I think this is one of his best games as a Warrior and surely the money that they pay this big guy is worth.

Klay though, he really needs to score 20 points or more, he is back to his regular 15 points a game. Kuminga and Wiggins will also need to play big for the Warriors to win close game. It's not all on Curry's shoulder, everyone should work hard and improved his shooting percentage.

For sure this is just the shooting slump for the Golden State Warriors and we all know that there are times when the Warriors are like this most of the players in the team are getting into a slump, even Wiggins for sure is getting this kind of slump but for sure as the Warriors is in this kind of slump the media is going crazy about it saying it is more than just a slump which is very far fetched in my opinion, but I believed you that the other Warriors players should improve and working their asses out and not become Jordan Poole,


Currently I consider Chet Holmgren as the Rookie of the Year. The hype around Wemby is just that hype. Chet is consistently performing well and significantly contributing to the Thunder. When comparing the performance of their respective teams the Thunder with Chet Holmgrem is outperforming Wembenyama's team. The stats speak for themselves; at this moment Chet Holmgren is far different to Wembenyama.


For sure he can eventually get that if he works hard for it why not, Chet Holmgren after that last season got an impressive performance because of his experience, and right now he has to get the fruits of his labor so for sure he can enjoyed it so much this season, as his team the Oklahoma City Thunders is getting into a great shape right now,

^ Yugin Kadoya this is exactly why I stopped betting on odds below 2x. Look at what your net gain is 0.94, from 2 wins, and you lose 1. So ending up with net loss of 0.06 if you bet same stake on 3 games.

Which means you need much higher percent of wins just to cover stake.

I'm never betting like this anymore except to add multibets Smiley

Multi-bet or parley, will be risky and is not profitable for me for sure, but getting into a safer bet for sure even though it is working for you well will not always work on everybody for sure, but I have seen many like this but good luck on your next bet let's bounce back for sure,



But here is my bet and prediction for today's game

Orlando Magic VS Charlotte Hornets

The odds for this game are 1.38 for the Orlando Magic and 3.20 for the Charlotte Hornets, for this game Wendell Carter Jr. has a Finger injury, and Markelle Fultz has a Knee injury and both can not play for the Orlando Magic, while PJ Washington has a    Foot injury, and Terry Rozier has a Groin injury and both is questionable if they can play for the Charlotte Hornets, Frank Ntilikina, Nick Richards, Cody Martin, and James Bouknight, all have injuries and can not play for the Charlotte Hornets, for this game, the Hornets has many injuries and they are not doing a great thing right now nut for sure my pick is the Orlando Magic,

New York Knicks VS Phoenix Suns

The odds for this game are Charlie Brown and Duane Washington Jr. both have an illness and both are questionable if they can play for the New York Knicks, while Drew Eubanks, Kevin Durant, and Yuta Watanabe are all questionable if they can play for the Phoenix Suns, Bradley Beal, and Damion Lee, can not play for this game the Phoenix Suns, for this game, I really think this could be a close game but for sure I am having doubts in all the injuries for the Web, and so my pick is the New York Knicks,

For this fight, Oscar Duarte looks huge, and his bodybuild for sure for me isis one tough fighter to crack open, Oscar Duarte really is a lightweight, and sure Ryan Garcia is looking for a big fight for his career, and this is it he found an opportunity to start his winning streak again, but for sure because Duarte has the durability I am seeing Garcia will have a hardtime against this guy for sure while Duarter for sure got the power he can surely smash anybody and if Oscar Duarte goes the distance then Duarte will surely make a point in knocking you down for sure,

While Ryan Garcia sure has the advantage on the speed with the power I really don't know if he can easily scare Oscar Duarte with that speed sure the striking output will be on his side and sure hydration clause was the one that has got him and was defeated by Gervonta Davis, but against Duarte, for sure that punching speed of Ryan Garcia, you can say that his speed with the accuracy was very dangerous combination for sure I think I will go with Ryan Garcia in this one,

Leverkusen continues to keep their stand as a top team this season although I didn't expect any less from them today but I was literally not particularly about how well they will be performing today so it was More like an open heart to this match accepting whatever the outcome would be.

Considering the facts they they are just coming back from the international break, they were both considerd to be in a good for so I taught it will be a bit of risk to be particular about any of their performance but impressively Bayern Leverkusen turned out so well and we must say Xabi is scaling newer heights with this team because he is bringing a different level of consistency into game play and it's indeed yielding desired results.

For sure they will get the top spot again and because Werder is not that kind of a great team in the Bundesliga so for sure Leverkusen will definitely destroy Werder in this game and they did as many already know the faith in Werder Bremen in this game and the dominance of Leverkusen is something that many have predicted for sure,


Leverkusen this season is undoubtedly the strongest German team that Bayern has had to face. Leverkusen are also becoming more consistent, even though after the international break it didn't affect their performance, they performed perfectly against Bremen with a big win that kept them firmly at the top of the Bundesliga standings. On the other hand Xabi Alonso is also extraordinary, he is truly amazing. Every player who comes into this team is very lucky to have him as a coach.

It could be said that Leverkusen is truly a great team this season. Since they can focus on league games, they may be able to break Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga this season. Hopefully they can maintain their good performance until the end.

For sure Xavi Alonso is a great coach and this was seen in most of his games in the Bundesliga with the Leverkusen right now the team Leverkusen is a well-known threat to Bayern Munich taking the championship, for if Dortmund was still the 2nd best team in the Bundesliga they will let Bayern Munich win this championship, (well speculations that they let Bayern Munich win the last season championship) but this time if Leverkusen would let Bayern Munich slide that is but this time Leverkusen still dominates the Bundesliga but against Bayern Munich for sure we would see a draw result again,



Now here are my bets and predictions for the upcoming Bundesliga games tomorrow,

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS 1. FSV Mainz 05

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Hoffenheim 3.55 for a draw and 3.85 for Mainz, for this game Stanley Nsoki got a Knee injury his expected return is in Early January, Dennis Geiger has a groin injury and his expected return was on Mid January, Mërgim Berisha has an ACL injury and expected return was on Mid July, Marco John has an ACL injury and expected return was on Late June,

while Dominik Kohr and Sepp van den Berg both have red cards and can not play 1 game, Robin Zentner has Stomach trouble and is Doubtful if he can play for this game, and Maxim Leitsch has a Thigh injury and is expected to return was Mid-December, Karim Onisiwo has an Ankle injury and expected return was on Mid-December, Josuha Guilavogui has a Hamstring on Early December, Nelson Weiper has a Knee surgery expected return was Early December, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, has Ankle injury and expected return was Mid March, and Jonathan Burkardt has a Knee injury and was back on training but still not available for this game,

And so for this game, I think that the Hoffenheim is still great in my opinion while the Mainz is having a hard time this season and they have many injuries for this game so for this game so for me my pick is the Hoffenheim,

Results on my bet for the PFL 10: 2023 PFL World Championship and for sure many fighters in this Tournament are getting their 1 million checks,

Clay Collard VS Olivier Aubin-Mercier ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Clay Collard started with leg kicks and you can also see their shin clashes you can see the Canadian gangster get into the back of Collard but for sure Clay Collard really has a good wrestling defense as you can surely see his resisting Aubin-Mercier, you can see the determination of both fighters to win, for sure Clay Collard defended all submission attempts of Aubin-Mercier and staying safe drop that for sure that pressure and Olivier always getting that open shots to get some score, is a win for Olivier Aubin-Mercier,

Renan Ferreira VS Denis Goltsov ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

You can see that Goltsov has gone into the takedown and on the top of Ferreira but he can not go with the full mount, so he goes with the kimura at first for some reason Renan Ferreira's power he has been escaping the submission attempts of Denis Goltsov but for sure the wrestling defense of Renan Ferreira has improved a lot, and in the start of the 2nd round Ferreira have to go with the overhand punch than a hammer fist but for sure that was it because this is the heavyweight just 1 punch is what needs to get the win,

Magomed Magomedkerimov VS Sadibou Sy ROUND 3 SUBMUSSION - WIN

The Dagestan fighters are really dominating even the PFL and Magomed Magomedkerimov is really amazing in this fight in the 1st round Magomed is aggressive and pressuring Sadibou Sy and getting him outbalanced from the start of the round, and the patient of Magomed Magomedkerimov had him Sadibou Sy to the ground, Sabidou Sy on the 2nd round was OK with the takedown defense and you can not underestimate Magomed Magomedkerimov on the striking aswell, in the 2nd round for me I think Maomedkerimov let the 2nd round and get some rest on the remaining time, while on the 3rd round, he let it lose and got the guillotine choke on Sadibou Sy,

-snip-

I double checked and nope...  Co main event is Jalin Turner vs Bobby Green.  It really looks like the UFC is trying to give Turner another decent match up to move up the ranks.  They gave him Dan Hooker in his last fight and he looked good at the first round but then dunno...  It was like a switch flipped him off and it suddenly became all Hooker at the second half of R2 and all Hooker at R3.  Did Turner gas out, I have no idea.  But something looked wrong with him after R1...  I guess we'll find out during media day.  Let's see what he has to say about that loss if it comes up.

Anyway I think it's massive disprespect for Fig that he's bumped a notch down the roster.

Oh! sorry, I thought that the Dan Hooker vs. Bobby Green fight was canceled but Jalin Turner accepts the challenge against Bobby Green which was still the Co-Main Event, I have looked at the Topology, and Rob Font and Deiveson Figueiredo was on the 2nd line for this event, but yeah Bobby Green still wants to fight for sure and I never realized that the UFC will just change Dan Hooker with Jalin Turner but I think that was good enough,

I really don't know why Jalin Turner that has lost to Dan Hooker but for sure Turner wants to prove himself for sure and he is the one who accepted this fight for sure Bobby Green can be dominant in this fight in my opinion,

OK, I just checked the odds for Turner Vs Green and Green is a big underdog for some reason, with x2.88 (on Unibet) payout rate. What am I missing here? I'd expect bookies to be favouring Green.
Is it just age and reach advantage? Other than that, Turner is stepping in on a VERY short notice, he lost his 2 latest fights, while Green won his last two in a compelling fashion.


For sure this is bookies underestimating the older dude, as Jalin Turner is just 28 and Bobby Green is now at his 37 of age, but let's just say on paper Bobby Green is so much more amazing than Turner but for some reason, there are people that will go and see the age gap of the two fighters, for sure this is what I think and the known reason why the odds was in favor with Jalin Turner,
