One fight has been canceled for upcoming UFC 273 with Marcin Tybura had to drop because of his illness, so Jairzinho Rozenstruik will have to wait for other opportunity to fight.
Most predictions I saw are favoring Volkanovski to win in main event against Korean Zombie, but I expect to see good fight in five rounds.
For co-main event I think we are going to see much shorter fight and win by Petr Yan in first few rounds, but this time with legal KO.
Sucks as Roz is the second leg of my parlay at 'ticket 1'. It heavily lost a lot of value. And I think that's an understatement.  And yeah, it could be a good 5 rounder but I really can't expect anything from TKZ at this point. It mostly didn't happen for him at 145 and he's going for the title after winning vs Ige? Did the UFC forget that he got his ass wupped by Ortega? But it's just prolly the UFC running out of ideas for Volk. I could see him move up and go for the strap at 155. |

Pole position LECLERC!!!
Sainz got unlucky on his 1st attempt, red flag when he was on the start line, probably under half-second before he could end his lap.
On his second attempt, he did a mistake otherwise he could fight Charles.
Yep, I think by the time F1 goes to Europe, prolly as early as Spain, we could see Ferrari start getting consistent 1 - 2's more and more. Watch out for that. It's gonna be a hard fought battle but I think Leclerc could be F1 driver's champion this year and Ferrari constructor's champion. Remember, Red Bull had absolutely no points for the first race. That's huge if both teams come neck and neck for the rest of the season. 2022 F1 Australian GP Qualifying Results1 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari 1m18.881s 1m18.606s 1m17.868s 2 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m18.580s 1m18.611s 1m18.164s 3 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Bull Racing 1m18.834s 1m18.340s 1m18.240s 4 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team 1m19.280s 1m19.066s 1m18.703s 5 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m19.401s 1m19.106s 1m18.825s 6 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m19.405s 1m19.076s 1m18.933s 7 Daniel Ricciardo AUS McLaren F1 Team 1m19.665s 1m19.130s 1m19.032s 8 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m19.605s 1m19.136s 1m19.061s 9 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari 1m18.983s 1m18.469s 1m19.408s 10 Fernando Alonso ESP BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m19.192s 1m18.815s No Time Set 11 Pierre Gasly FRA Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m19.580s 1m19.226s 12 Valtteri Bottas FIN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m19.251s 1m19.410s 13 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m19.742s 1m19.424s 14 Guanyu Zhou CHN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m19.910s 1m20.155s 15 Mick Schumacher GER Haas F1 Team 1m20.104s 1m20.465s 16 Alexander Albon THA Williams Racing 1m20.135s 17 Kevin Magnussen DEN Haas F1 Team 1m20.254s 18 Sebastian Vettel GER Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team 1m21.149s 19 Nicholas Latifi CAN Williams Racing 1m21.372s 20 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team No Time Set |

Ffs guys just start being real to yourselves. XMR is what most people think BTC really is supposed to be. And it's not just that, there are flaws in BTC that maxis won't ever question... Like the dwindling mining incentives after every halving. We really can't expect BTC to run on just the fees for how many transactions per block.
Back to XMR, it's extremely undervalued IMHO as it does something very useful unlike 90% of crypto. That's why it's so frustrating that it ain't even in the top 20 or the top 10 where it should belong. But then I guess in way it's better to be away from the spotlight as much as possible. Again my hot take: XMR will rise in CMC during the bear market.

I'm not really sure how good the content is in the course but it couldn't be stressed enough that anybody who wants to take up gambling more seriously should adhere to a sound bankroll management strategy. It could mean life or death in your 'gambling career'. Lol. So in every course about 'teaching you how to gamble', pay extra attention to bankroll management and the mind set stuff like 'knowing when to quit' and 'knowing when you're not playing at your best'.

Now , I wonder , why did Vettel remain in F1 ? this dude is still a legend and he could've retired and hope for a comeback in greater car.
This question has an easy answer. Money. Vettel earns 15m € / year at Aston Martin. It's always about the money... As the case for almost everybody in all fields of profession and all walks of life. But he did take a pay cut to be in Aston Martin tho. So it's either he thinks the team could improve and help him get back on track to be at tthe top or he took the pay cut cos nobody else would take him. Anyway, looks like Mercedes hasn't figured out a way to fix their porpoising issue yet... Ferrari is looking good and Red Bull prolly could use some luck again to win the race. Let's see after quali. My money is on Leclerc tho. |

^ Either of them won't settle for a draw but I feel like it will end in a draw. The odds for BTTS and draw is 4.20. I'm betting it as a degen bet. I don't expect to win, just dropping 10 bucks to win a little something something and also just something to look forward to this weekend. And ending in a draw is the most exciting scenario for everybody.. all neutrals, City supporters and LFC supporters. I don't think either side, City supporters or Liverpool supporters, would say it's the most exciting outcome tho. But it is more than they care to admit. |

The sad situation in modern MMA - if your prime combat skills are not connected with wrestling, there is no place for you in MMA. It takes months or a year to teach wrestler to strikes, but it takes years for striker to learn wrestling. In striking we have kicks, punches and elbows on different angles and levels. Just BJJ has over 90 techniques. Add throws, takedowns and etc. And multiply it by 2, as every move can be defended (striking has 3 blocks only, shoulder, leg and hand). It's a tough sport but I wouldn't exactly call it 'sad'. But maybe we could call it 'sad' in a way that as fans the barrier of entry for the more exciting strikers is tougher compared to their boring counterparts who are wrestlers. This goes tougher as the skill level goes up. But then again we've seen great strikers learn enough wrestling to make to the top like Adesanya... And we've seen wrestlers learn to strike and be as exciting guys to watch like Chimaev. |

^ Yeah I was surprised at that Bayern vs Villareal score line. Lmao. And it was lined at 1.65 win for Bayern which Hark recommended as a pick, which I thought was a value line too considering it's Bayern Munich. But alas, in CL football you just never know what's going to happen. Won the Real Madrid draw no bet one tho and followed another one of Hark's picks, BTTS at 1.97 which also hit. And yeah, def doubling down now that I fear for City. Lol. There's just something in the CL that makes them choke at the really most important matches. Edit: I couldn't find a prop for which clubs goes through to the semis. I wonder what the line is for Atletico. |

^ Porsche has been showing their intent and interest to join F1 but nothing really came out of it. But yeah.. It's cool if they did join. Exactly, that's why there's still room for these guys to get a little more faster, esp Red Bull. As is I think Ferrari has the quickest package. So Red Bull has to figure out how to get rid of the extra weight. As for Mercedes, it's the porpoising. If they solve that problem then they will def by a problem for Ferrari and Red Bull. I'm all for it. Would be nice to see three teams battling it out for the most points per race instead of two. Winner market for the Australian GP has Verstappen as the slight favorite at 2.25 and Leclerc at 2.50. Quali lines are pretty close between both too, 2.25 and 2.35. If they will resolve it I think they will be the car to beat and I'm not joking. Who, Mercedes? Yeah they could be if they figure it out. They do still supposedly have the best power unit out on the track every weekend. Just couldn't show it. And I'm also not joking when I say I think that Ferrari has a better power unit than Red Bull. We could see it in all the cars running the Ferrari power unit... The Alfa Romeo cars and the Haas cars are all running them afaik. Nothing really changed in the betting market. In what week does everybody think Mercedes fixing the porpoising issue? Hamilton is 15.00 and Russell us at 25.00 to get pole for quali. |

^ Oh for sure. I could see Burns making it look competitive in the first round just like what he did vs Usman. But I don't know what it is whether it's his gas tank or his chin but Burns isn't really that durable. He could even be finished at the first if Chimaev catches him.
Bottom line, striking Burns could have a slight advantage tho Chimaev has KO power. BJJ, def Burns. Wrestling, Chimaev. Durability, maybe Chimaev? We haven't seen him go all three rounds in the UFC.
Well, you got your good analysis right there. Khamzat Chimaev although we can not see it in his physique. I can say he is durable in some ways, and I could say that Chimaev could last longer than Burns. We can say many are judging this fight because of Burns Body build but we can always be wrong when we judge the book by his cover, and Khamzat Chimaev is packed with quality, if not with his physique. I am guessing his strength is undeniably there a thought, yeah, he surely will have a hard time with Burns, that's for sure. Well that's the thing, we haven't seen Chimaev really get tested in any of his fights in the UFC. All of them ended before the third round. Lol. And it's not just in the UFC, it's for his whole MMA career. Here's his Tapology page... Lmao. All finishes. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/188143-khamzat-girikhanovSo yeah, maybe Burns well take him to deep waters. Burns is kinda chinny tho. Anyway there are some nice odds for Chimaev finish props. Chimaev to win via KO is 2.15 at Stake and it's at 3.10 via submission. And here's the press conference. I havent' seen it yet, it was live just an hour ago. Enjoy! UFC: Pre Fight Press Conferencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnBoyfzi8JA |

While price does its thing from day to day, anyone can run a node. Just do it, you'll learn a thing or two about the network along the way as well. We need more nodes for the day Monero inevitably hits the spotlight (and people are forced to pay the price of XMR's value). https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.htmlI have run a node for years... On that map, I can zoom in, and there is a dot about 2 miles from my house. I always wonder if that is actually me... or if someone else in my neck of the woods does it too... My node may be part of the ones consolidated into my service provider. Mine was in the middle of a lake. Boating accident? Anyway check out the price. Seems like XMR has not been playing along with market shenanigans and is down just a tad over 2% while most of the alts in the market are down more than 5%. BTC is down a tad over 4% right now. Some hot takes: XMR will rise in CMC during the next bear market. And If the merge happens and it doesn't implode ETH, it will make BTC maxis sweat by making the gap in CMC too close for comfort. It could even threaten a flippening. |

So... Where's the Do Kwon guy right now? Is he afk? There are talks swirling around that he got spooked when a guy in Binance started making huge asks in spot so he must have pulled out his bids. Dunno, I'm not really sure how true tho. It could prolly just be CZ telling Do Kwon 'FU lemme accumulate lower before sending it to 50k.'. Lol. That's stupid, would you listen if you were Kwon? Hey man, I want to buy some coin cheaper so stop buying for a bit and if the price rises due to my buys or someone else comes in with a big buy, tough luck for you, you will have to spend more to buy these bitcoins - you can afford it!. This is business, there's no love between people who both want the same thing. Either one of them loses some money or the other. It's weekend, I don't expect big players to come on Saturday or Sunday to buy. Also, there was a decent drop on Wall Street indexes on Friday that scared some investors. I'd rather expect Kwon to back away for a bit because there's so little coins on exchanges that his buys are pushing the price up too fast. If he keeps buying too fast he's going to end up buying too expensive. What do you mean stupid? Lmao. Would anybody really keep buying BTC up knowing that the owner of the exchange and his MM's are spoofing sell walls to spook the whole market out? Just look at the market rn. A few bad news here and there and a little spoofing, where is the Do Kwon guy? Don't make the mistake in thinking that he'll keep buying BTC if sh*t hits the fan. I mean who would want to hold a losing position as a 'reserve'? That's just dumb. Exactly and that action made just to hype up his followers, guess what happen now some people really believe his statement release then think about he will do more to support bitcoin to pump it more and that is totally crazy thought's since no people in right mind will continue to buy and don't care if they lose due to its volatility. Maybe he just do it so that his position will be hit and I guess he is happy now counting the profits he made for those hyping techniques he made. Hype is fine. I have no problems with somebody trying to spread some sort of awareness behind his moves. But to think that there isn't a bigger whale who could spoil Do Kwon's plans would be a mistake. I mean check the market right now... Wouldn't it be better to wait and let the price drop than to buy now knowing that it could put you in the red? And what if we're really going to a full on bear market? I doubt he could buy everything up to a new all time high. He couldn't do alone. But yeah, BTC should close above 44.5k today or so or we be stuck in the previous range again. |

^ Chelsea defends well under normal circumstances. But with all the sh*t that's going on behind the scenes at the club and the uncertainty of its future, it's looking like it has been affecting the squad on the pitch. Chelsea lost to Brentford 1 - 4. I mean wtf, that doesn't just happen. So yeah... Knowing that and Real being Real, I'm taking a shot at the draw no bet for Real Madrid at decent odds at 2.60.
What do you guys think?
I understand your point and It's a valid one, but then what about that game being a form of a wake up call for the Blues ? Real Madrid would be a playing away from home and I'd not want to underestimate a Chelsea side, under Tuchel. That said, the odds seems rather valuable but, I'll settle for BTTS @ 1.96 and meanwhile Bayern Munich (without significant injury worries) ML @ 1.62 against Villarreal is great value, right ? ^ Right! Good call on the Bayern one. And I think I'm gonna follow you on the BTTS lean for Chelsea vs Real Madrid. You still play the EPL pool? Who's leading that table? I going back and I'll play next season after skipping this one. ^ Chelsea defends well under normal circumstances. But with all the sh*t that's going on behind the scenes at the club and the uncertainty of its future, it's looking like it has been affecting the squad on the pitch. Chelsea lost to Brentford 1 - 4.

What do you guys think?
I won't be playing for the Champions League game today but if I were you I would choose Chelsea in their game against Real Madrid, I think losing 4-1 to Brentford is quite natural considering Chelsea have to prepare their key players for today's Champions League match. My prediction in this match is Chelsea 2 - 1 Real Madrid. Yeah but I don't think Tuchel deployed that much of a 'B squad' vs Brentford. There were key players there who'd still be playing vs Real Madrid later. But yeah it's a tough one. I guess I was midcurving Chelsea's conundrum too much in my head. And losing to Brentford in that way tends to sway you to bet for the other side. Lol. But dunno I feel comfy taking the draw no bet for Madrid. If it ends in a draw I get my money back. |

Anyway there are some people saying that Red Bull and Mercedes' cars are 5 kg heavier than the Ferrari cars and 10 kg heaviier than the McLaren cars. I'm not sure how true but that looks like a huge difference.
Mercedes and Redbull are actually complaining about the weight of the cars and they are considering removing the paint for earning a weight loss. Exactly, that's why there's still room for these guys to get a little more faster, esp Red Bull. As is I think Ferrari has the quickest package. So Red Bull has to figure out how to get rid of the extra weight. As for Mercedes, it's the porpoising. If they solve that problem then they will def by a problem for Ferrari and Red Bull.

Here are the results for the games played earlier today: Benfica 1-3 Liverpool
Manchester City 1-0 Atletico MadridYou were right Liverpool scored a lot of goals, you were completely right with your 1-3 scoreline. You nearly had the other game score correct too At this stage you would have to say Liverpool will qualify for the semi-final but Manchester City still have to go to Atletico and perform well otherwise they will be out of the competition. Yup. I fear for City tbh. Winning by just a goal in the first leg leaves Pep and his boys very vulnerable at the reverse fixture. It's going to be pretty tough for City to break that defense again as they tend to become stale during a match. I feel like Atletico wins by a goal too taking it at pens... Which I don't mind. Pens to decide who goes thru is always fun. Anyway, who you guys got between Chelsea and Real Madrid? I feel like Real is being disrpespected here at 3.80, draw no bet at 2.60. :/ |

Prolly a good idea. Perez is prolly being paid more than if they got Gasly onboard Red Bull again for a second stint. zand Perez isn't really that much of a difference compared to Albon and Gasly's performances from what I remember. But the thing is will Gasly be able to defend like how Perez does in crucial moments? Anyway there are some people saying that Red Bull and Mercedes' cars are 5 kg heavier than the Ferrari cars and 10 kg heaviier than the McLaren cars. I'm not sure how true but that looks like a huge difference. |
