So should I be taking out my Tauris off the finishing places as they didn't even make this?
Yes that is correct. Sprint races were just introduced last season so this is the format they are following now for reaching pole position for the main race at the end of the weekend that the sprint takes place. Not every track has sprint so the original format from qualifying takes precedence for the rest. It was quite a practice yesterday with so many red flags. And today's race it looked like Leclerc was going to take it but Max came out of nowhere to snatch it up. Can't wait to see tomorrows race. It should be a contested one as all drivers are having issues at several turns as qualifying had shown. I definitely need catching up then, if it's been going on since last season and I'm only now just recognising it heh. At least I can not fully blame myself if you say some tracks are still in the original format -- perhaps the ones I read about happened to be just that. Probably shouldn't say much as I don't follow much but sounds like unnecessary frills to bloat the competition. You didn't answer my question though: Tauris didn't make sprint, so should I even remove them from my picks or is sprint meaningless other than for qualifying start positions? Starts in 5 minutes! Too late anyway ha! Yeah, good thing you didn't listen to anyone's advice on your picks because you got first on the leaderboard for the Italian grand prix. Nice one! I don't know much about Alpha Tauri except the drivers but nothing on their performance as I never put them on my top 15 spots. |

Fight night at the Apex didn't disappoint last night with all the fights being just bangers.
Jessica Andrade won her main event match with the first standing arm-triangle choke done to submit an opponent in the UFC.
It was a sight to behold and it is rare move since it usual is performed on the ground but she had the strength to do it standing.
Amazing fight even if it was finished in the first round within a few minutes of it starting.

Odds for the final race which starts in about half an hour weather permitting looks like this:   Leclerc is still looking like the favorite to take the fastest lap with his Ferrari engine purring. But of course Max is the favorite in taking the race with taking pole so we will see which car performs better in the rain. That is what it all comes down too on a wet track in Italy today. |

Saw this special too this time yesterday but didn't take it as it was in german so couldn't tell what exactly the bet was but seen both these players names mentioned.
Going to place some bets with bundesliga, serie a, epl and la liga today. So hopefully those go better than the one I had yesterday waiting just on the Barcelona Open match to finally end and it being the only one losing on a 11x odd betslip.
Just hate these rain interruptions.. in tennis and F1.

This is alarming because I know that Binance also donated funds to Ukraine to help those in need and recover. But the facts that Binance put forward are convincing because they did help analyze data towards cybercriminal rings, and they did do good on that. So, what benefit would they get in providing data to Russia? Unless there's something more underneath it all.
Could of just been a PR stunt so to make them look good in the eyes of global leaders. I remember reading something about CZ working with the Chinese government but can't recall what that was. So it must of not been that important and just white noise when it comes to this exchange. They tend to bend to the will so to whitewash their reputation and look good to all who they want to have deals with and intend to in the future. |

^ That's precisely how you can find value in sports. I don't know F1 much but it's certainly true in football -- bookmaker early lines are probably the most accurate but that adjusts as bets come in and bookies balance their books.
So am reading now that Verstappen took pole for sprint. So am learning sprint winner then takes pole at the race. Was this always the case or have I missed out on F1 mechanics all this while? So should I be taking out my Tauris off the finishing places as they didn't even make this?

Well he might be using it to help fund his new offer of a $46.5 bln offer reportedly submitted to the SEC filing put in today.
"Elon Musk is exploring whether to commence a tender offer for Twitter, according to a new securities filing.
The updated filing published on Thursday says Musk has received commitments for $46.5 billion to help finance the potential deal."
Up from $43 bln earlier this week.
He really wants this company if he keeps upping it by the billions and I can see the rest of the shareholders eventually accepting the offer.
Just imagine if he puts twitter on the blockchain and have it running off the lightning network?
Now that would be pretty epic.
Get ready for bitcoin or doge symbol to replace the bird logo on their page soon if this does actually happen.

I think it’s inevitable that there will eventually be a Bitcoin ETF. We’ve certainly been hearing about it long enough at this point. I recently read that if it doesn’t get approved that VanEck is thinking about suing the SEC, which would be pretty interesting to see, especially as someone who hates the SEC.
The SEC have enough in the courts when it comes to cryptocurrencies. They still haven't finished the case with ripple labs yet so I doubt they want another big name in crypto wanting to sue them. But with VanEck wanting to go down this route in filing, what makes them think this will expedite the process. It will more likely hinder their efforts not bring any forward progress to giving them what they want. But it certainly is strange how governing bodies in Canada and now in Australia have not impeded these Bitcoin spot ETFs in their countries as much where the SEC makes these rules in the US. |

Before the races in Italy, Leclerc has a pretty strong lead over the rest of the group. About 30 points. I’m even surprised how he managed to beat others so well, including the heroes of the 2021 season. I wonder what he will demonstrate on April 24 and how the points leaderboard will change?
What are your predictions?
Made my selections early since the sprint race determines quite alot when it comes to pole position. And with the renewed format of who gets these points are crucial to the outcome of the grid positions. I went with home country favorites in ferrari which seem to be on a winning streak for their last few tracks. I still have faith in Verstappen to pull out all the stops and show up on the podium. But put Leclerc above everybody else in terms of pole and fastest lap. We'll see how my logic plays out over the next few days of racing. |

Today is Friday,I don't know if the Sprint race is today or tomorrow but I have read on different social media F1 instagram page that qualifying is today and the sprint race will determine the starting order,so guys please do not forget to put your predictions in before the sprint race starts today at 3 PM so you don't lose the EBP points which is worth a lot since they are equal to 2 points.
It seems I'm no the only one you woke up thinking is Friday hahaha. Unfortunately , it's a full day of Thursday but no worry , weekend will be here soon. Regarding sprint race, I think it is tomorrow and also the results of Sprint race won't change the results of qualifications anymore and this is a great thing. Meanwhile , yes , start placing your predictions but I do think RedBull are having a big ace in their sleeves for this weekend. Sprint race have some changes from last year where top 8 gets points instead of only the top 3. Here is the new revisions for this years sprint race from the official site: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.how-does-the-f1-sprint-work-the-format-explained-ahead-of-imola.4ep6uU8VYFMgftvTYxkZdI.htmlThis one is on Saturday not before Practice nor Qualification races. The times are out of sorts for those who are watching from North America because it is in Europe so you need to adjust your time schedule accordingly to whatever timezone you are in so to not miss any of the races. But Skysports has the schedule set to U.K timezones so it is easier to remember for those across the pond. I just go by this site to find the correct times of each race since they are broadcasting and giving me the feed which I am watching from: https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12593728/emilia-romagna-gp-when-to-watch-qualifying-and-both-races-on-sky-sports-f1-as-sprint-format-returns |

My oh my. Has the tide had turned in less than a year on the Elon vs Twitter saga.
Where he is in a position to outright own the platform he is known infamously for.
Could he buy out the shareholders or will this poison pill scenario play out and deny him.
Because as we all know:
Elon hates to lose and will keep at it until he proven wrong with whatever he does.

I highly doubt we will, since LFC are doing their opponents in with their devastating front line. Some matches for a mid-week clash in the EPL early on today so get on if you missed them. There is still time to take the specials with Manchester city to win & over 3.5 and a combo with Everton & Newcastle to both win: Bets on these specials can be done here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/todayThey both have good odds so why not put a bit of beer money on em both to hit? |

The odds seem way too good on SAW +1.5 @2.00 Outsiders looking kinda shaky and with their current performance, they're likely going to drop a map against SAW. Also, it looks like Vitality is about to get eliminated already down one map and down a couple of rounds in their map pick, and with those results Forze will likely face NaVi for the final legends spot. Yeah, even though early here where I am, I managed to start watching on the final map for Vitality and it is looking like they will win this one already up 3-0 in the b03 against Mouz. I agree with you ralle14, SAW look good and are in form. So you would be hard pressed to bet against them when they are doing teams dirty like this. Here you can bet on the next match which starts in about an hours time if you missed the earlier one currently finishing up: https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/pgl-cs-go/pgl-major/matches |

Well if your company and stock are starting to absolutely go to the trash can and given the fact the volatility and possible profitability of crypto then it might be feasible he might be using that to add some sort of profit to his portfolio. Also given the fact that with one tweet his post can be seen by millions maybe even billions of people he may have the ability with his amazing feat of public relations that he can actually with ease cook the books.
From the reports, he wants to buy up the company and set the rest of the shareholder's yearly pay to zero. If this doesn't sound like some kind of trolling job at this point I don't know what does. He has angered most of the shareholders especially the prince of Saudi Arabia who has a vast majority of the shares in twitter when it comes to free speech. So only time will tell what he will do next in this hostile overtake of the company. Which he is no stranger too. This is how he got to own Tesla. There is plenty of evidence of this all over youtube and the rest of internet. |

@leea-1334 It depends on how the night goes. More likely to have more than 10 correct selections if the favorites of the nights win. The main card are almost always a toss up. Just like the last fight, the one inwhich everybody though would win had an off night. So he lost. Those kind of matches are either heads of tails. Just need to be lucky on some I think. Here is the challenge for the next UFC fight night, so put your picks in to see if you can win a prize: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395141.0Main event is Lemos vs Andrade and should be a batlle. |
