Here is the results for the UFC on ABC 3: Ortega vs. Rodriguez, I may have lost 2 bets but it was a fun fight to watch

Brian Ortega VS Yair Rodriguez Round 1 KO/TKO - LOST

Whether this is a freak injury or a clean win, Brian Ortega already has an injury on his shoulder before the fight, and I have learned that the Submission attempt of Yair Rodriguez isn't an Armbar at all, but it was too tight for Ortega to take his arm out, that lead to poping of his shoulder to an injury, but before that injury, Yair Rodriguez is dominating the stand-up giving Ortega a good combination of punches, and I have seen good technical approached from Yair Rodriguez, I may have lost this bet but I can also see a different approach for Yair to win this and to gain dominance on the standup, and it did, that is why I am so hyped seeing Rodriguez but some say that this is not a clean win for Rodriguez, I say Yair Rodriguez fight Brian Ortega not knowing Ortega's condition, when they are in a fight they are not aware that they already cause injuries to their opponent, they come up to the ring knowing his or her opponent is on a 100% condition,

Michelle Waterson VS Amanda Lemos Round 2 Submission - WIN

Amanda Lemos really is a powerhouse, I really like Michelle Waterson, but she never stands a chance in winning against Lemos, that reach for Lemos was a total advantage for her, even though Waterson takedown Lemos Lemos still get the upper hand I really think Lemon was Dominant until that Round 2 Submission on Waterson, it was a clean win for Amanda Lemon,


Jingliang Li VS Muslim Salikhov Round 2 KO/TKO - LOST

JingLiang really proves that he can also improve decent takedown defense, even though Salikhov takes down Jingliang in round 1 he manages to get out from getting mulled or submitted, Jingliang has great stand-up I really thought that Salikhov can put a threat to Jingliang but I was wrong Jingliang was really dominant the entire fight and from the 2nd round he manages to takedown Salikhov and pretty much still dominates the fight in their stand-up,

Fresh from instagram!



A fight a lot of people been waiting for - UFC 280 on October 22 Oliveira vs Mahkachev for lighweight title. The result will make a lot of people to shut up.

What do you think? Belt goes to Dagestan again or Oliveira proves what he has been talking about “being better than Khabib”  Grin

Great news an anticipate match and the one that I am waiting for, it will surely set the stage for both fighters to set up who really is the great fighter, I really feel sorry for Charles Oliveira, after getting Stripped from the belt, he will face a pretty much hard fight getting back to be champion, and this is going to be a fight that will surely prove who's the number 1,

Here are my picks for the upcoming fight on UFC on ABC 3: Ortega vs. Rodriguez highlighted in green are my picks

Brian Ortega VS Yair Rodriguez

The stake odds for this fight is Ortega with 1.57 while 2.41 for Rodriguez, well I am for Ortega here but I really like Yair Rodriguez's style and the acrobatic kicks were really awesome, for me, this could go the distance or could be a submission wins for Ortega, but Yair could also win this fight and I am always saying here in my previous post, that if this goes the distance Yair could win this with pressuring kicks to Brian Ortega, and get away to crucial takedowns and it could be a boring fight to some but it is a way for him in beating Ortega Izzy style, but if Ortega could pressure him going to the ground then it is over for Yair Rodriguez because Brian Ortega is well-known with his grappling, so for me, I will pick Brian Ortega, but I really want to see some picks here for Yair Rodriguez and what they think will he do to win the fight,

Michelle Waterson VS Amanda Lemos

The Stake odds for this fight are 3.35 for Waterson, while 1.33 for Lemos, for this game Amanda Lemon has the power to win against Waterson, but Waterson is well-rounded and has very decent wrestling, well I never see Waterson could win this actually, and even though I am a Karate Hottie fan and I really love her but I don't think she will perform his Jui-Jitsu on Lemos, mostly she will remain in stand-up and this could simply be brutal to Waterson because Lemos is decent in striking, sad to say but even though I like Michelle Waterson, I can not be blinded on what Lemos can do, so my pick will be Lemos,

Jingliang Li VS Muslim Salikhov

The stake odds for this are 2.30 for Jingliang while 1.62 for Salikhov, for this fight I am seeing Jingliang struggling again, Salikhov only has 2 losses and both losses were a rear-naked choke Submission is Jiliang can get the back of Salikhov which is impossible to do because Salikhov can still finish you as well on the ground, even though he surely loves striking I think his wrestling is for the Last resort situation, for me, I will be going with Muslim Salikhov,

Result of my picks last time on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022 July 14 game,

kt Rolster VS DragonX SCORE 2 - 1 - LOST

DragonX did a great job on the 1st map, dominating the kills to 13 to kt Rolsters 6 kills and destroying all 11 towers to only 2 towers for kt Rolster, they even manage to take 73.1k gold to Rolster's 63.7k gold, it was a total dominance, I really thought that they will surely win the whole game but when the 2nd map begins, it was a very close game their Dominance end up in a close game, Map 2's game stats for kt Rolsters 81.4k gold, 15 kills 10 towers while DragonX 73.1k gold, 9 kills, and 5 towers, it was a close game, I thought kt Rolster's win will stop there but Map 3 was still in favor and pretty much a close game with a game stat for kt Rolster 57.5k Gold, 17 Kills and 9 towers destroyed while DragonX has 45.2k gold, 9 kills and 1 tower making a winning game for kt Rolster, and it was really an unpredictable game for both these teams,

Damwon Gaming VS Freecs SCORE 2 - 0 - WINS

It was a total dominance for Damwon Gaming, they have shown Freecs how they really win the match, Map 1 was very smooth for Damwon Gaming dominating that game with game stats of 68.5k gold, 13 kills, and 11 towers destroyed, while Freecs lost with 50.7k gold, 1 kill, and 1 tower, and that dominance never stops there even though Freecs have put up a decent fight in Map 2 they still lost with game stats of for Damwon, 50.2k gold, 11 kills, and 9 towers, while Freecs have 46.1k gold, 4 kills, and 5 towers only, Damwon Gaming pretty much dominated the game

I haven't bet for the July 15, game because I was busy and forgot about the time but it was a pretty much Dominant game for SANDBOX and Brion Blade both gaining 2 - 0 wins,

-snip-

He is probably enjoying his retirement, more exhibition fights gives him more money, and we cannot deny that exhibition fights are not risky compared to a professional fight, and since it's proven that exhibition fights could also bring millions of dollars, so Manny is just taking the opportunity again.

Yeah it seems you are right he really needs to enjoy his retirement, I love to see Manny Pacquaio taking a title defense or a title match again but his body can not take it anymore, he is likely just for exhibition match fighter only, he can sure train a little and whatever happens inside the ring he will surely gain millions of money, and there are rich people who are willing to pay for this kind of stuff, and just like Floyd Mayweather who is just enjoying his fight and putting a great performance inside the ring, I really love his last fight against Don Moore,


Basically, that's a good observation on him and I think many do think of the same as you on how it went with his last match.

And if he's ever going to have a match again, it should just be the match that he can really take. For me, it could be another title match or an exhibition, as in anything as long as he can take himself with.

A match that he really thinks that he can bring himself up again until his final word comes that he's good and ready to settle for real and no rumors or actual news to come out that he's out to fight.

Well, that is what I think about my observation of him, and his last fight with Ugas, I think it is not self belittle if he can not make another win for his boxing record because I think he doesn't need to prove himself any further he is proven enough on his prime, but right now is what I call dwindle state, and there is nothing to be ashamed about all boxers and fighters will surely get to this state and eventually retired,

Yep, even Ray Leonard had some public exhibitions after his detach retina operation. So it's in their DNA, nevertheless they should know when to pull the breaks otherwise it might endanger their lives for good. And this is we don't want to see happen to Manny in the future. Sure, he can take some exhibitions fight, but still at 40, he needs to be very careful as well. Probably just light touches from his opponents will be ok, but not the brutal punch to the head or something.

Well, when you are a boxer you will surely have a boxer's instinct and will always keep on searching for that eagerness to step again inside you will be longing and missing that experience of the heart-pounding matches that you take, I think boxers do misses what they are doing on their prime, and I guess Exhibition matches is really good for them and lessen the risk with those exhibition matches,
2945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 15, 2022, 08:46:33 AM
Previously they had been dangerous and with the arrival of Mane who we know what his performance at Liverpool is like then this could indeed be something quite deadly for other teams in the Bundesliga.
Actually for balance there could be something that is possible. Lewandowski can stay in attack as a target, while for Mane he can be placed in Winger because his cruising range is quite good so I still feel there is no problem with this.

From Liverpool to Bayern Munich, They are really setting up a team if ever Barcelona makes a trade for Robert Lewandowski, I think that Bayern Munich is really serious about staying as the champion for a long time, and comparing his Career statistics to Lewandowski they are not quite far enough thinking the fact that the level of playing field in the European Cup, and UEFA Cup are simply higher than with the Bundesliga, I can say that they surely got quite a beast,


If Dortmund had wanted to win the title they would not have sold Haaland. They used to make the team stronger this season. But they have sold their team’s key players without trying to strengthen the team. As a result, they have become more vulnerable. However, I'm not too interested in the Bundesliga. I know Bayern Munich will win the title at the end of the season. I only want to win every Bundesliga match bet.

Dortmund is not thinking about the championship or title, they are thinking about money this is how good Dortmund is in lifting their player's potential I really think they don't care about just the empty cup they really care about the money they can get in selling their players, and well they are expecting Erling Haaland to leave anyway so what is the point in stopping him, and if they really want to win a championship they already win it, with their previous rosters, they are just unlucky in the previous season when Haaland is not healthy at all,
2946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 15, 2022, 07:42:02 AM

Not yet settled unless it comes from officially that they won't do the trade anymore. I haven't seen any news yet but most of them are all about its interest for taking KD and also allowing first picks just for him.

This is a big trade that they do ask and if an interested team really wants him, they'll just going to offer something that cannot be declined or hard to decline trade.

In actuality, I really don't like Kevin Durant to be on the Golden State Warriors ever again, but if they are interested in getting Durant then I am happy that they did, but right now the team that really wants him and I had read on the news was the Phoenix Suns, and they will get Either Bojan Bogdanovic or Jordan Clarkson but the Jazz is still not complying to their terms, and they would like to get Deandre Ayton, and Ben Simmons,


Yeah, it puts Phoenix Suns in tough spot, but I really can't blame De Andre Ayton, he was becoming no so significant to the team as he once was and during the playoffs it was pretty evident that sometimes for things to workout well for the Suns he needed to be on the bench, no player would of Ayton's caliber would like that.  I however don't see Durant as step up for them either, I mean no disrespect to his abilities or work ethics but we all also know he influential he can be within that squad and that could have quite an effect on the chemistry they've built over the past 2-3 years.

If I were Kevin Durant I would just stay on the Brooklyn Nets and just like you, I also mean no Disrespect to Kevin Durant but for the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors he is not a step-up player when they acquired him, I just can't feel it that Kevin Durant will simply slip on to the team's Chemistry, for now, I think many teams are not looking on who you are as a player and what you have done, they have seen that the Warriors doesn't need a handful of Superstars to be champions they can unlock their players potential to be significant in any playing aspect they need,

I totally forgot the fight that champ Volkanovski had fight with Ortega, and that was maybe one of the hardest fights for champion.
Checking UFC stats, and I see Rodriguez has overall slightly better Striking Accuracy, Defense, Takedown Accuracy and Defense, with reach advantage and more strikes landed.
Both fighters had experience with 5 rounds in fight, but Rodrigez had three and he won two in UFC.
This is not easy bet to make, and I expect long bloody war, but I am still on Rodrigez to win by decision, and fight to go to distance gives very nice odds on Sportsbet:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-ortega-vs-rodriguez/ortega-brian-vs-rodriguez-yair-629be5d8fba435cc007f66d0

Watch short video preview the UFC Long Island main event matchup between Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnadO_RrYrQ

In my opinion, the fight on Volkanovski vs Ortega was super legit and Volkanovski is dominating Ortega on the standup even though Brian Ortega caught Alexander Volkanovski on the ground and the fastest Guillotine Ortega has pulled against Volkanovski, and in 26 seconds Alexander Volkanovski still survives from Ortega's Guillotine, but Man Volkanovski if they fight again I will still bet for Volkanovski, he is absolutely one of the great strikers in the UFC, 

And in the Ortega VS Rodriguez fight, I really think that Ortega would have his dominance against Rodriguez, Ortega can capitalize on those leg kicks to secure a submission, and for Yair Rodriguez, he can win here if he can go the distance and keep the pace of his striking,


You're right...  Chandler doesn't really use his wrestling as his primary mode of attack.  But the thing is you know it's there ready to be used.  And if all else fails in the striking, I think any fighter who can't compete in a striking battle vs Fiziev will have to resort to their wrestling skills.  RDA did but he wasn't good enough.  But Chandler?  He's D1 wrestler so I think he could take Fiziev down easier than RDA did.  Dunno, that's how I see it happening in my head.

I think his Wrestling will be in the main game plan and the last result against Fiziev if they fight, I think Michael Chandler will pull another move that he hasn't used inside the Octagon at all like the Front Kick he used against Tony Ferguson, you see Ferguson isn't really aware that a kick on his chin is coming because his guard was all on the side, I really think he can pull something like that and his opponent doesn't have any idea about it to happen,
2948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2022, 05:39:16 PM

While we spectators want to see a competitive Bundesliga, the Bundesliga teams don’t want it. Bayern Munich will win the title every season, and other teams will try to qualify for the Champions League. This is what I see in every season. If this continues, the Bundesliga will lose their popularity. No spectator wants to see such a one-sided league. Premier League is competitive, and that is why Premier League is so popular worldwide.

Real Nature of men, they want to be on the top, I think everyone wants to be on the top, the same goes for Bayern Munich they don't want to be dropped from their position, and they will do anything just to be Champion, I think Bundesliga can get money from Bayern Munich just to get Bayern always on the top, but we spectators and fans are simply tired of the same result, we surely want a different outcome and not a predictable one,

Well, there is always a Premier League for the teams that are under the standings, of the Bundesliga, but it is not Bundesliga, if next season will still be in favor for Bayern Munich, I will not make a bet on Bayern Munich games, likely I will be supporting Leipzig,


Hmm. I agree that Sebastian Haller is a really great player. I was already a big fan of him, when he was still playing for Eintracht Frankfurt because even back then it was already obvious that he is extremely talented and a very efficient striker. That being said Erling Haaland was also a great striker there is no doubt about that and therefore Dortmund did definitely not increase their quality in that position. The transfers of Niklas Süle and Schlotterbeck are definitely great transfer and should give Dortmund more stability in the defense.
With the transfer of Mane and possibly De Ligt i still think though that Bayern was able to make bigger transfers this summer. So i don't think that Dortmund will be closer next season.

And now that Sebastian Haller is in Dortmund pretty much Borussia Dortmund has a way in Polishing Diamonds and Sebastian Haller is known for his precision but let's see if Dortmund can polish Haller good, now they have a reliable striker and 2 great defenders as well,

While Bayern Munich if they can get Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus they will be ready in giving Lewandowski to Barcelona but still Bayern Munich pretty much has a bigger transfer this season,

It appears that we have 2 sexy fighting kittens for this event hehehe. Miesha "Cupcake" Tate and Michelle "Karate Hottie" Waterson.

Karate Hottie appears to be very underestimated for this fight. She is more experienced in the octagon and she also has improved her wrestling skills to control those opponents that are bigger than her. Amanda Lemos is strong, however, she is also not very good.

There other sexy fighting kitten might not be a kitten. She is a sexy fighting leopard hehehe. I do not mind to my money in her. She is also a former champion who should never be underestimated.


Oh la, la, those fighting Kitties were really to die for, and where did you get those photos, they are really tempting to look at,

Anyway, It is not a slight intention to underestimate Michelle Waterson I really think she is great and I will actually root for her because I really love our fighting kitties, but Amanda Lemos is the real deal and if Waterson wants to win against her she needs to focus more on grappling, there is a soft spot for Lemos there and if Waterson can capitalize on it then she can win,


Just my two cents. When was the last time you saw Chandler was using his wrestling, except trying to stop take downs ? Cheesy In last 10 years, he has won thanks to elite wrestling 3 times out of 14. Wrestling did not work well in a fight against Oliveira. I think Chandler prefer to fight in stance. And if he fights Fiziev, the chances of winning will be 50/50. I even think that Fiziev has more chances to knockout Chandler, than Chandler to knockout Fiziev. If they fight, Fiziev, as a master of Myai Thai, will try counter every take down attempt with knee, and with his reflexes and speed, this knee will end their fight.


Well During Chandler's 8 recent fights he often does those takedowns but it will not be going into a follow-up to submission or ground and pound mostly he wants a stand-up fight and a front kick to the face of Tony Ferguson, I think this is a desperation move from Chandler and you didn't see this every day for Chandler to throw that kind of a kick, and not a characteristic of Michael Chandler to throw something like that, and after that win against Ferguson he even said that he will give us an exciting fight, which is I really doubt, and if Fiziev VS Chandler could meet I will put all my eggs on Rafael Fiziev, I think he can pull through and give Chandler a great fight he will not forget, for me the power shots of Fiziev is what will KO Chandler,

Main bout Brian Ortega vs Yair Rodriguez match Brian Ortega for feathweight seems very likely to me to win, he's very much wanting to play a title match with Volkanovski again. What was their encounter last year, we saw a solid fight for twenty-five minutes. I hope we see a fight like this in this match. Yair Rodriguez has a good career, he has fought with important fighters but for me Ortega is more talented.

Brian Ortega is a well-rounded fighter I think that is why he is the favorite to win on betting, but the Kicking Acrobatic Yair Rodriguez can capitalize on those leg kicks and keep his distance for Ortega's takedown, he might win this, but in a boring fashion and knowing Yair Rodriguez he doesn't like boring fight he will surely bombard Ortega with all that he got, in a more beautiful manner with his kicks,
2950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 14, 2022, 02:32:20 PM

Yes, women's boxing existed already many many years ago. And they also have their own superstars that are also more popular than most champions in men's boxing. The current biggest networks are DAZN, PBC (thru Showtime, Fox), and ESPN. DAZN got Katie Taylor and ESPN got Mikaela Mayer as main event fighters. Although it is not as popular as men's boxing who's biggest superstars will compete as the world's highest-paid athletes just like Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao. I think Canelo could take the highest-paid athlete this year if he didn't lose to Bivol. 

This goes to show that boxing is not only for men, but boxing for women is already established long ago, and even though it is not that much popular as men's boxing, pretty much every woman in here really kicks ass,

Canelo is surprisingly popular even though he lost to Bivol, and I am really aware that Canelo doesn't really stand a chance against Bivol, but still, Canelo Alvarez is crazily popular and rich,

I like this fight because it's like 50/50 IMO. Although I don't consider them as serious world title contenders at this stage. The current world champions will easily destroy them.

I also think so, that long break that they have surely dwindle with their performance inside the ring, but if they can return that and feel the same vibe or be accustomed again inside the ring I think they can beat a near rank boxer, but yes a title belt match will be very questionable, but they can still try,


I also don't think Pacquiao has become better than he was a year ago, but he has become a year older for sure, and if you look at his last fight with Ugas, you can see how much he misses punches, so everything will depend on the opponent he chooses, if of course he decides to fight.

In my opinion, he can surely still fight even a retired boxer can still remember the thing he does during the fight, but this time with a dwindled speed, accuracy, and strength, during the Ugas fight Manny Pacquaio can really fight but his firepower is no more and Ugas is likely just ignoring Pacquaio punches like it is just nothing, and look at what happened to the eyes of Pacquiao after the fight with Ugas he can barely open it so he can not see a thing, this goes to show even his durability has dwindled aswell, so in my opinion, for me, Manny Pacquiao is now just for exhibition matches only,


With those news that say that he's still going to fight, I guess that's already the clue that we'll see him once again in the ring and maybe not just for this YouTuber but also for another one.

He's that type of guy that would say something but eventually, he'll take it back just like the retirement.

Well, I wish him the best and hopefully he really gets the deserving win before his true and genuine retirement.

For me, the level of Pacquiao right now is just for exhibition matches against retired Boxers, Retired MMA fighters in boxing matches, Youtuber that has trained in combat sports for a boxing challenge, or someone that has fame and wants to try Manny Pacquiao inside the ring, in my opinion after seeing him in his last fight as a professional boxer against Yordenis Ugas, I say to myself that this is the last for Manny Pacquiao, if he can not KO/TKO his opponent it is likely he is for retirement,
2951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 14, 2022, 08:50:38 AM

They've got already a good roster and got some new addition from the draft for which we can also see new potentials from there.

But if it's for KD, we still need to see what's really for him and what team is really serious of taking him and getting that crazy deal for the trade that he wants for Nets.

And from that good roster, I think this is settled that the Golden State Warriors will not need anything, for now, for me I think the teams that will truly need Kevin Durant were the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns, but for the Miami Heat having difficulty in getting him due to lack of resources, and for the Phoenix Suns inability to get back Deandre Ayton, they need a bigger all-around man, so likely Kevin Durant can land on these teams or even on the other rumored teams that likely needs him, so let's just wait and see,


As it was mentioned before, the Nets won't agree to trade Durant anyway if they don't get an all-star player instead of him. In that case, Durant trade rumors to the Heat seem unlikely since the Heat would have to include Butler and a couple of bench players in the deal. Honestly, I doubt the Heat have plans to trade Butler, and it's unlikely they could offer any other deal which would satisfy the Nets.

I think this is still in the process, and choosing between Kevin Durant over Butler, is a big trade in my opinion Jimmy "Buckets" Butler is a great asset for the Miami Heat and I think even though Kevin Durant has a bigger value, but for me, Jimmy Butler and Kevin Durant, for now, has the same value as an all-star, so Miami Heat will surely be having a hard time about this, so the Phoenix Suns might have to say about this maybe Chris Paul for Kevin Durant, but it is really unlikely to happen,
2952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2022, 08:21:05 AM

Have you forgotten about the World Championship which will divide next season? Yes, Bayern will most likely be champions again without too much trouble, but in other more competitive championships (I think Italian and English) the world championship will be a factor that will make a difference. It is obvious that the shape of the players before and after the World Cup will be different, both depending on the result of the tournament and on who plays how many games there.

Inside the Bundesliga, we got to see Bayern Munich's total dominance and I am just tired of seeing Bayern Munich win the championship in the Bundesliga over and over again, that is why I was mesmerized when Bayern Munich lost to Villarreal, in the UEFA Champions League, lost with Villarreal with 1 - 0 on the first game then a draw on the 2nd game that led to Bayern Munich lost, I think when it comes outside of the Bundesliga Bayern Munich can sure lose aswell,

I have seen the Club Friendlies on July 21, the match will be Bayern Munich against D.C. United, will surely get on to that one if what may be the result and what may happen and who's going to play on the number of Rosters Bayern have,


The Bayern Munich team is strong and their performance is stable. As a result, no team can beat Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title fight. Bayern Munich has already prepared a strong squad for next season. And the Bundesliga title will undoubtedly be won by Bayern Munich, as Dortmund are now quite weak after selling Haaland.

You haven't seen the latest news for Dortmund haven't you, we can not know for sure if Bayern Munich will still stand as the champion next season until the next season starts, right now Dortmund is  preparing a team for the next season, and we all know how Dortmund is making diamonds out from these players now Gio Reyna is back on Dortmund and Sebastian Haller is with the team aswell, and from his interview, he really thinks that Dortmund has a chance to topple Bayern Munich and he is pretty much enjoying his stay with his new club,

Here are my picks for today's game on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

kt Rolster VS DragonX

Stake odds for this game are 2.90 for kt Rolster while 1.37 for DragonX, right now kt Rolster has 3 wins and 5 losses, that is a lot of losses for a team in the Korean league, now DMX or DragonX has 5 wins and 3 losses, making this team very opposite and that is why DragonX is the favorite to win, I think both teams have healthy players and could play for this game, for me I will pick for DragonX winning this I think it will be 1 - 2 score,

Damwon Gaming VS Freecs

Stake odds for this game are 1.24 for Damwon while 3.80 for Freecs, this is going to be an interesting match Damwon Gaming now have 5 wins and 3 losses, while Freecs has 4 win and 4 losses, the game can become very close depending on both teams strategy, this is the first time these 2 teams would clash, so it is very interesting, Damwon has 5 wins can if they can win this against Freecs they will hold 6 wins, for me I am very Curious on what may win here, but I will go and bet for the favorites, Damwon Gaming
2954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2022, 05:16:03 AM
Ortega vs Rodriguez. Types that can do heavy damage to both fighters. Ortega is scary. Rodriguez will need a good game plan. Ortega took heavy damage in two fights. Rodriguez has a chance. I actually want Rodriguez to win. So we can see him fighting the Volk. But i think Ortega will most likely beat him by submission after losing most of the striking battle.

If the fight will continue to be on striking those Acrobatic kicks from Yair Rodriguez are really unpredictable and he is seen sometimes capitalizing with elbows that his opponent may not see, While Brian Ortega can capitalize with those kicks and can Submit Yair Rodriguez, and because Jiu Jitsu is just normal for Brian Ortega I think it is normal for him to get Rodriguez submitted, I actually like the style of Yair Rodriguez if he can be slick and fight smartly with Ortega or if he can copy the style of Israel Adesanya he can win against Ortega, but surely the asset of Adesanya is his height that Yair Rodriguez lack, so this is an advantage for Ortega,

I'm leaning towards Ortega for this fight. However, I think it could easily go the other way. I just like Ortega as a well rounded fighter. Sometimes, not the best at defending himself though. I will be putting a short odd accumulator on this week I think. Probably aim for the four fold accumulator again. I'll be going with specific method of victory though.

I'm going to review some more tape on the less familiar fighters, for my predictions, and will likely post them on Friday to avoid any late cancellations. Although, we had a cancellation a few hours before last weekend due to what I believe was a stomach virus.

Those cancellations are very frustrating indeed, that is why I didn't post my picks early on and waited until late Saturday, after the fight and so I could also see the near odds before the fight, and to mostly avoid canceled fights aswell,

Brian Ortega is the favorite to win, likely Yair Rodriguez could win this if he can push those kicks for Ortega to be pressured and hang on and wait for Ortega's takedowns, to move away and kick keeping up his score this could be boring for his fans, but I think this will keep Ortega's Grappling out of the way because for this fight Ortega is very well-rounded, he knows the most basic Jui-Jitsu ever known to a fighter, but choosing from both Ortega or Rodriguez to have a huge chance for Volkanovski I'd say Brian Ortega is pretty much close,


I am going against you once again, and I think there is more value betting on Yair Rodriguez this time.
Both of them are very good fighters and this is going to be small All-Mexican main event, but Rodriguez has slight reach advantage.
I think he learned a lot after losing last fight with Holloway in 2021 and Ortega lost from Holloway in 2018.
I am just listening their pre fight interviews and I didn't make any final decision, but I think this fight is going to distance.

Let's say Yair Rodriguez wins via Decision against Ortega, and there is a chance that Rodriguez can surely win if he capitalizes on his advantage, and pressure Ortega by distance away from him, a very boring fight but it could do the job in winning,

Then Enters Alexander Volkanovski, the next Yair will face, I don't see a glimpse of Yair Rodriguez having a chance against Volkanovski, his fight with Max Holloway was a war both fighters did their all, but Max was too accurate and on point, I think Yair facing Volkanovki will be a one-sided one,

It's up to them.

And I think they're weighing all potentials and possibilities in whether getting KD or not. They still got the key players and I also believe that they won't just release those keys to the just for KD.

Who knows what's on their mind.

There could be some surprise though.

That is right, they have all their key players, that is why they don't be needing an all-star player anymore, but if they got Kevin Durant on the team that will surely be insane and so unfair for the other teams, I really think the Golden State Warriors could be a potential threat for the next season, their power three is healthy and ready Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, and with an addition of Jordan Poole they can make a Poole party, and a powerhouse on offense and defense Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins, and the return of James Wiseman, for additional defense, and their latest draft Patrick Baldwin Jr. can be a mini Kevin Durant in my opinion if trained well there is a possibility, so the Golden State Warriors will surely have a Poole Party with a PBJ (Peanut Butter and Jelly) for the next season,

Irving and Durant both are leaving the team surely as it seems. They have both wanted their trades as soon as possible. Actually Irving was closer to be traded but the team made a decision and decided to give priority to Durant's trade. I have heard that Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns are the teams Durant want to go now. As for Irving he has been likely to be traded with Westbrook. This deal would be great for Lakers but not much for Nets unfortunately.

Great news for the Heat if they got Durant, there can be an additional defense and offense for the team, I think the Pacers if the ones that will get Russell Westbrook and not the Nets, when the Pacers would get Deandre Ayton then they will likely be fixing the Russell Westbrook trade, so Brooklyn Nets will surely be a team with no all-star so that means they are OK with that,



Just In, after a great summer league performance Moses Moody got a bad fall, it is really frightening to see, but at least he is just OK and not badly injured, but in that fall fight there is a situation that your opponent was on a defense Moody could have an early retirement before the season starts, but yeah it was really a close call,
2956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 13, 2022, 07:20:30 PM

That is right, there are no real thread in featherweight division for Volkanovski. He would either beat everyone for the second time (boring scenario), or he should move to other weight division (preferable scenario), or would be inactive for some period (which is not good). I really think he should try himself in Bantamweight. Alex is not tall, does not look huge. I would love to see him fighting Yan or Aldo or Sterling.

He can surely go down or up, as long as he is not in the Featherweight division, well it is ok if he goes to the Bantamweight and then snatches the belt to Sterling which Petr Yan can't simply have a grab on, but even though he is short on his height I think the Lightweight is still preferable for Volkanovski, I would love to see a Dustin Poirier, or Justin Gaethje I think the threat for Alexander Volkanovski on that division is Islam Makhachev, and the stripped champion Charles Oliveira,

I have sort a feeling, that Fiziev will be thrown next on Chandler or Makhachev, and it will be a total declass for him, as they wont make a brawl with him, but rather submit him in first round. Maybe his next opponent would be Poirier. But I think UFC are saving Poirier for McGregor.

For me, Makhachev is a real threat to Fiziev, and the level of wrestling for Chandler for me is not that much to the Dagestan wrestling of Makhachev, it is proven that Fiziev has great balance for takedown defense and I think Chandler will just be Clobbered by Fiziev when going for a takedown,


Once Volk starts recycling the challengers of 145, there's no other way to go but to 155 and challenge all the killers there.

Anyway, can you check my lottery ticket and critique it?  Would really appreciate it if somebody tells me what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks.  Smiley

155 will be a good challenge for Volkanovski in my opinion, and pretty much it is the right way to go, then when he got the belt there, then he can go down for a triple belt oh and I really love to see that,

And for your Multi-Master challenge


12) Brian Ortega - I think Brian Ortega, is a good choice and for me, I would surely go with Ortega aswell, I will be giving my final verdict in the next couple of days

11) Amanda Lemos - Amanda Lemos is a safe pick, but you know me I will go with Michelle Waterson because she is a fighting kitten, but yeah Amanda Lemos is a good choice

10) Muslim Salikhov - Muslim Salikhov, for me as well Jingliang  has faced Chimaev and was pretty much shocked by his strength and for me Salikhov, power is legit aswell,

9) Matt Schnell - Matt Schnell is my choice aswell

8 ) Shane Burgos - Shane Burgos is a powerhouse, and for me, it is just OK,

7) Lauren Murphy - Murphy is a killing machine and a knockout artist but I will go with the well-rounded girl Miesha Tate,

6) Daicha Lungiambula - Dalcha Lungiambula is like a monster, and I think a good choice,

5) Ricky Simon - This is a bit Trickier, for me Jack Shore is more well-rounded, you will always be hearing well-rounded on me, and I really love a fighter with a tremendous
Wrestling skill,

4) Bill Algeo - Both fighters have wrestling, but for me, Herbert Burns has good wrestling

3) Dustin Jacoby - I would go with Jacoby aswell,

2) Dwight Grant - the same pick as you,

1) Emily Ducote - I am going with Jessica Penne here,

Match 12 Total Strikes:  125


Pretty much you got great picks and for me, this is just an opinion, take it as a grain of salt,

 
2957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 13, 2022, 06:26:34 PM

Another loss for a Filipino boxer, its a clear statement that Ioka dominates the match and Nietes was experienced a hard time.
Very unfortunate to have back to back loss for a Filipino boxer, it looks like Nietes is already over. Its good though that Nietes was able to last until the final round, no more world champion and heart break loss for a Filipino boxer, not a good year for us.

It's clear that Kazuto Ioka is not slacking off when he lost to Donnie Nietes, he has 5 good fights but Donnie Nietes has only 2 fights 1 were a draw so the taken experience was really valid for Ioka, Nietes hasn't had enough fight, and forcing himself in a knockout win is a bad thing aswell, it really backfires on him, this is I don't like it when I was right, and for this fight, I can really feel a bad thing might happen, Nietes from their 1st fight is having a hard time and Kazuto Ioka is not really a push over, and for me Donnie Nietes after so many years in boxing I really think this is the time he can retire if he can not continue anymore,


This year has been really tough for Filipino boxers. I guess it isn't their lucky year. It was really a back to back lost which is heartbreaking. I thought Nieter would win this fight so there will be at least one Filipino to raise their flag in the boxing ring again. I hope that there will still be the hope of new winning for Filipinos in the next matches.

It is not the end of the world, I really think Filipinos are going to get back again, they only need to push further, I really think it is just a coincidence that back-to-back belts were taken from a Filipino boxer, for losing inside the ring, getting stripped of the belt, I really think there is a reason to this, and this is just a start of a new chapter I think there will be a time when a boxer will rise and get back the flag on the top of the sports again, I am sure of that,


We need to have another sets of trained fighters, our legends already falls and they can retire their gloves now, I'm speaking in regard to both Nietes and Donaire, they can follow the lead of Pacman they all represent our country with glory and there's nothing to ask from them, they've tried all the best and time for them to rest and enjoy a decent and simpler life.

Though in terms of Magsayo and all those young active fighters, they still have their time to regain and make our country proud again.

Maybe the year is not for the PH fighters, there is always a good time to improve and to win another title!

I agree, I really think Nietes needs to retire and call it over, but if he knows in himself that he can still fight then I really respect that, but for me enough is enough I think Donnie Nietes has shown enough he really needs to put his gloves down and just teach the younger generation that is willing to be like the champions, because even though this looks like over for the Legends a new generation of a champion can surely emerge,

And for Mark Magsayo, he needs to pursue again and trained even harder, and for John Riel Casimero, I am really disappointed

Great match! here is the result of my picks for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Hanwha Life Esports VS T1 SCORE 1 - 2 - WIN

It was a sweet 1st map win for T1 for HLE, on the blue team DUDU is using (Azir) ONFLEEK is using (Lucian) KARIS is using (Nami) CHEONI is using (Jax) while VSTA is using (Xin Zhao) and T1 on the red team ZEUS is using (Seraphine) ONER is using (Lee Sin) FAKER is using (Gwen) GUMAYUSI is using (Ezreal) while KERIA is using (Karma) it was really a good strategy for T1 winning on Map 1 with Hanwha got 54.5K gold, 8 kills, and 4 towers while T1 got 62.3K, 11 kills and 11 tower winning Map 1, Then HLE winning Map 2 and coming to T1 into full force, Hanwas Winning Map 2 with 70.7k Gold, 20 kills, and 11 towers, while in Map 3 the situation is different and T1 manage to win via 62.7k Gold, 16 kills and 10 Tower, surely a win T1 deserves,

GEN. G VS SANDBOX SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

GEN.G total annihilation on SANDBOX have proven their domination, it was a one-sided game they gotten all win against SANDBOX, on game 1 the game stats was 44.7k Gold, 16 Kills, and 9 Tower for GEN.G while 26.9k Gold, 1 Kill and 0 Tower for SANDBOX, in map 1 you can see how the level of play GEN.G have and on game 2 the game was a close match I think GEN.G has shown mercy the game stat was 59.7k gold, 18 kills, and 9 tower, while SANDBOX have 51.2k Gold, 14 kills and 3 towers, GEN. G have lowered their output but still wins the game,
2959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 13, 2022, 07:57:52 AM

This season he was very fragile and did not perform optimally in undergoing the season there.
In fact, several times he only saw his teammates on the side of the field when they lost the match.
The problem of competition is indeed a little more difficult if they really intend to do that with Haaland's condition.
Now that Haaland has left there are several players who have considerable potential to shine again such as Giovanni Reyna, Youssoufa Moukoko and Bellingham who now seem to be new targets to become other shining players.

Erling Haaland is surely fragile last season, I really wish him the best when he sets foot in Man City, and now I think that Dortmund is ready again in the next season, their latest roster is proven that they still have a ceiling to growth, and that is surely what Dortmund is actually aiming to wait and let their training regime be a success to their players, they really know how to flourished diamonds when they see one,


Bayern Munich will definitely improve well in next season, because Robert Lewandowski is a talented striker that know how to achieve goals from any competition. I think, this is what Bayern Munich players have been waiting for because the team was seriously lacking in the area of striker that was making them not to perform well in some matches. Now that Bayern Munich president has agreed to sign in Robert Lewandowski into the team, Robert Lewandowski will definitely help the team to achieve next season title because he is among the best strikers in Germany league competition.

I really think that Robert Lewandowski has already done those feet several times now every season, I really think you don't know the news yet, but Robert Lewandowski is planning to move to Barcelona but Bayern Munich is setting some unbelievable request to Barcelona just to trade Lewandowski, but I guess Bayern Munich can not force Lewandowski to sign another contract to Bayern Munich, if a player doesn't want to play for them I think it is good to set him free so if Bayern Munich could settle in Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus then I think they don't have any more need for Robert Lewandowski,

Before the start of the new season, it was already known who would win the Bundesliga, so far no other club has been able to break Bayern Munich dominance in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich is listed as the club with the most Bundesliga trophies with a collection of 32 trophies, (Nurnberg) with a collection of 9 trophies is in second place and followed by (Borussia Dortmund) with 8 trophies.
These statistics show that there is inequality in the Bundesliga competition. The dominance of Bayern Munich that occurs continuously because rival clubs are not able to provide a fiercer resistance to Bayern Munich in every season, this is what makes the Bundesliga look boring.

If Bayern Munich can still have a hold on Robert Lewandowski in the next season, then the dominance will continue, I really love Bundesliga, but I am getting tired of seeing every season that Bayern Munich is still on the top of the standings, the imbalance of Bundesliga is getting most fans being Frustrated and the games being very predictable,

For me I really like Bundesliga I am more familiar with teams here and I like Bayern Munich but It will be awesome if we can see more competitiveness in the next season,
2960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 13, 2022, 06:39:35 AM

Thinking the same. Nietes carry a lot of responsibility on his shoulder now especially since we don't have any world champion now. He will revenge Magsayo's loss but on the way thru claiming another world title for the Phillipines. But this time, it's really hard to do it as he's now at the retirement point of his career and Ioka will fight him in front of his Japanese supporters.

I hope Nietes will upset Ioka on his home and bring the Philippines again to the list of having a world champion.

Donnie Nietes is looking for a knockout win, can he really do it, right now he is the only one with a title belt, and yes that is a big responsibility, after his fight with Kazuto Ioka Nietes just got 2 more fights he won against Pablo Carillo, and a draw against Norbelto Jimenez, while Kazuto Ioka has 5 matches after their fight and all are a victory for Ioka, I really think Ioka is a different fighter now than the Ioka he last fought back in 2018, and Nietes is on the brink of getting a retirement, sad to say but all those 5 opponent that Ioka fought only 1 was a push over but the preparation he just got in facing Nietes again is kind of remarkable,

For me, this is going to be a hard fight for Donnie Nietes, after their fight, Kazuto Ioka is more active than Nietes, I hate to say this but this is likely a hard fight for Donnie Nietes, I will not put a bet for this fight but I really like Nietes to win this fight but my thought is this is a 50/50 for me


Let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best for Nietes in his fight tomorrow. That's one tough hill to climb but like I've said in my previous post when Nietes' back is on the wall and everybody thinks that he would lose, he would rise to the occasion and surprise everyone many times and hope tomorrow he will deliver one more time, it would be the sweetest not only for him but to all the Filipino fans of this sweet science.

Odds are already out but only the ML but nevertheless it is still an attractive one if we are for Nietes.



That Odd could be accurate, and I don't want to see Nietes the one to lose here, but I am seeing this is a hard fight for him, I really think Kazuto Ioka is not the same fighter since their last fight back in 2018, But in his words, there might be a possibility that Donnie "Ahas" Nietes might still win this fight, and he really needs to win this fight he is the only champion that we have right now,
