I can't recall the last two fighters that this happened too, anyone remember? I honestly believe lumping on Justin now to win, is probably a good idea.
No I don't think I ever saw anything like this happening before.
I am looking at odds now on Sportsbet and Oliveira is still favorite but odds is going up on him, and I think he is going to win because money is still involved and maybe he won't have so much pressure and he will be angry Smiley

It hasn't happened in the history of UFC towards a title holder.
Happened in a fight a few months back but it was within the allowed weight for a non-title holder. And another fight before that, from the R&D of the UFC.
But for any championship they have zero let on the subject of weight.

Should make for an interesting ceremonial weigh-in happening in about 15 minutes.

Yes, saw the rearrangement of some new management at V.P for awhile now.
I think this situation just has quickened the decision to make this a new reality for the Russian professional esports organization.
3063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 06, 2022, 08:16:29 PM
Oliveira missed weight by 0.5 pound so he has been stripped of the title. So if he wins he has to fight for the belt.
Who does he need to fight so to get that shot at it again?
This is very strange. Cause they allow him to fight even without the title to contend with.

In case you guys want the results of my hard work  Grin here is the place to activate 7% winnings boost!
Thanks for the info regarding the casino boosts.

I've been trying to hunt the free bet drops for a few days now and so far no luck for me already tried chatting, lurking, and placing bets.

Currently waiting for the next sportsbet specials and the Europa League odds boost hopefully the next special is better.  Grin

No problem, I hope you managed to get it because until now it still does not work for me, but I do not mind, I played over 15 mbtc wager just trying to get it to work and ended up making a profit anyway (but would be nice to get the 7% boost of course). If you guys try I believe it is available for another day today.

I see only 1 special for the past few days do you guys see more? Or maybe a lack of football?
There was this which ralle14 had shown earlier:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-whatshot

It is on the promotions page but only runs until May2-8th.
Might not be what you are looking for as the football specials just redirects to the sportsbet specials tab.

Weather doesn't seem to be factor - 24% rain and 34% for the race:

There is a news that has been shared on social media that Sumail will be out of Team Secret and he's going to be replaced by "Crystallis". The article was posted by sports.ru.
The language is in Russian but you can use translate feature of the browser. I've just seen it from another Dota 2 page that said it's going to happen but no official statement yet from him and Team Secret.
There has been alot of shuffling around by teams which originate from Russia in the past two months.
Whether their players are allowed to compete in certain tournaments that I wouldn't know.
But with Cloud9's takeover of Gambit eSports (known as Players during recent events) has explained alot of what is transpiring for eSports in that region.
https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Esports/Sections/Franchises/2022/04/Cloud9-acquires-Gambit-Esports-Counter-Strike-Global-Offensive-team
Yes, they have to take on another team to represent another team name that's not associated with Russia. It's because the esports community and management have shown sympathy for the current war that's happening.
Team name's have been changed and there are active transfers due to the conflict. I guess we're going to see more of it and then new teams will be formed.
When it is done, will they regroup back to their original teams?
Or is this a total disband and the teams are dissolved for good?
This conflict has caused athletes in other sports not to be able to compete due to their nationality. Not completely fair to them but the organizing bodies did try with having them compete under an anonymous banner.

Just as Igehhh has mentioned it is a coin flip on who could win for the main event.
I don't disagree with him there.
Charles when backed in a corner can be like a snake and before you know it has you wrapped in a submission hold.

UFC 274: Pre-Fight Press Conference is happening very soon and there are many who are in the live comment section voicing their favorites to win:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sl36zdb9co
Lol Charles won the staredown; did you notice Justin's fear and nervousness? Charles is probably going to put him to sleep because he looked lost even before the game began, and I just watched someone who won't last more than two rounds.

The queen of rematch Rose always gets her way I'm putting my money on her as well.
Oliveira always has the best staredowns during these junkets and doesn't ever backdown from them.
And yes, you do see the fear in his eyes. Cause nobody likes to get choked out.

@leea-1334: That is how it is with a majority of those who watch the fights in the UFC.
It is all about the thrill of the fight card. Don't necessarily need to have a bet on each and every fight. I usually bet on the prelims and don't even touch the main card bouts because they were either too hard to decide the winner, just as with this weekend's main event with Oli and Gaet.
But I will put my money on Nama just like igehhh has only because it is fun to put money on the one just before the main event.
And well.. It is Thug Rose!
Always entertaining to watch her cause you don't know how she will finish her opponent. Very crafty girl when she gets in the octagon.

If you liked staredowns then I would suggest waiting for the weigh-ins (the Ceremonial one is better) starting in about 12 hours from now:

Countdown is about 2 hours but would say closer to 2 3/4 hours to go.

Placing your bets can be done here for all matches after watching the conference:

Both champions who are defending their titles are the favorites this time.

@CLS63 Didn't know you were into eSports before making this post.
A big welcome to the thread for you and hope to see you more often with any questions or insight you can bring to the discussion here.
From the limited knowledge in league play that I have the only teams that you mentioned to stick out are RNG and of course the Korean side.
They have eSports boot camps for their athletes in the chosen genre and are highly motivated to succeed in whatever they strive to achieve.
Quite a bit of focus from the docuseries about this team.
First of all, thank you so much. Smiley I have been interested in League of Legends for many years. I wasn't making bets very often before. But when I saw the new betting interface of sportsbet.io, I thought that I needed to focus on here also. As only the regional champions are able to join the MSI tournament, RNG and T1 are one step forward as the biggest favourites. Due to their overwhelming performance in Korea, the favourite team are T1 for me and many lol followers.
They have updated the betting interface for eSports a little while ago and is more polished now.
Actually placed two bets last week when I had to check it and the bets graded almost instantly. Very nice to have it available and now we have two ways to place bets on the electronic sports we love.
From what I remember T1 are from South Korea and RNG are from China.
So there is some serious competitiveness there. From what I witnessed in those series.
They breathe, eat and sleep their designed sport they train for before going professional.

Having a huge helping hand from Binance so to bring enough capital to the table it does seem the next iteration will have something to do with bitcoin when the takeover from Musk who had announced he will be operating as interim CEO for the beginning of the restructuring in the next 6 months.

Elon Musk has surrounded himself with people who are much much smarter than him. He himself is no dolt either, so obviously he has understood the potential for crypto. Although I am not sure as to why he would promote Dogecoin. If anything that does make it seem like he is just doing PR with a large audience which he "kidnapped" and made it his own community.

Egomaniac is as egomaniac does.
I think you were correct in this phrase.
He had backers for his takeover bid of the company and they are well known entities in any circle:

Just by looking at some of the names on this list the one which sticks out the most is CZ's exchange.

source: https://www.cryptonary.com/binance-helped-fund-elon-musks-takeover-of-twitter

So Binance would have some advertising space on there or even a say on it is run when it comes to where the crypto comes from once it goes web3?
https://vervetimes.com/binance-backing-for-elon-musks-twitter-bid-boosts-web3-vision
This only explains that Musk had help with the bid from all over the globe including Qatar.

Oliveira was the underdog in his last fight against Poirier even though he held the championship, same with Namajunas.
So the odds for these UFC main event title bouts seem to be fueled by the hype and not necessarily who will/might win.

It was media day yesterday so alot of videos on what the fighters had to say prior to the press conference scheduled for later on today.

Here are introduction videos of the each fighter for those not familiar on who they are and who they fought in their last fight:
ESPN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCbxhAAz48
BT Sports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D--7xnP-kPg

Found it interesting on getting the American vs the UK media perspectives on who they think might win.

The MSI tournament excitement in League of Legends is starting officially next week. In my opinion, the favourite team of this tournament by far are T1 that were the champions of the Korean league without a loss. Besides, I don't see the chance of IWC (which are a team of my region) about finishing their group as the second and being right behind RNG as very low.
@CLS63 Didn't know you were into eSports before making this post.

Does anyone make a bet with the match of Team spirit vs Navi
I remember betting on the over 2.5 for that series but unfortunately, the draft pretty much decided the outcome of both games and Team Spirit was just one step ahead when it comes to picking the better heroes.

Going for another over 2.5 pick
This one ended up hitting nicely and the series went 2-1 in favor of BIG.  Smiley

I got another over 2.5 for today and this one is between Entropiq vs BIG, their last meeting went 2-1, and hoping for the same outcome as their map pool is somewhat similar to one another.  
Another fine pick for the over as it hit for you.
Congratulations again ralle14.
They played twice in two different tournaments at the same time so that is impressive to say the least.
