Had been watching the South American qualifier for the BetBoom tournament in Belgrade.
Imperial Esports is making another run to the finals with their win against paiN gaming the other day.
Here is the event:

They face-off against MiBR later on today for the Grand Finals tomorrow.

Champions league quarters start in just about 45 mins and for some reason im feeling a draw on both matches  Grin

Dont agree with bayern odds at 4.7  Roll Eyes
City gonna win at home anyways so they might be just comfortable with a draw today.
Nice shout on both matches ending in a draw, I didn't expect Bayern to come out swinging against Arsenal on the road, I had low expectations from them due to their poor form.

I was close to pulling the trigger on Man City's special, then had the same thought on Man City being satisfied with a draw.

They covered the spread and then some so everybody was content with their performance no matter how much over a handicap you had on with a 75-60 score at the end of it all.
The under also covered which has been the trend with UConn's matches. 
Was going to go for the UConn win & over 141.5 pts market but glad I didn't because was looking for more on the odds but happy nonetheless on the win. As you probably are aware some individuals put their houses on these college games so they will happily take the 1.32x odds on UConn ML anyday of the week.

What do you see for the Sportsbet.io Special section for today?
There should be something available for the Champion league matches scheduled for later on today.
Haven't had anything available under my tab for months so just stopped looking under them and hoping to see something worth the wait.
Will probably take Barcelona @3.65x to beat PSG as there can't be another set of draws today in UEFA, can there be?

Yes @danherbias07 agreed!
Now that March is over with and the madness has subsided for another year in College Basketball, we can move on to the big boys in the NBA with the Play-offs coming in full swing.
After the play-ins of course.

I bet they will make that as an NFT and will be locked away for some time so that it will have value in the future.
That's just great. Posting something just by thinking. Elon Musk can definitely be inspiring a lot of times although I still don't like how he does it when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Cheesy

Not everyday he wins though. Here's what happened recently.
-snipped-
CMC already has an entire section of those memecoins dedicated to Musk such as elondoge.
Many are useless but it tell you just how popular no matter how stupid they are still hold a marketcap in the $100s of $1000s.

Now these articles released in the past 24 hours from different outlets are quite interesting inwhich Musk has predicted SuperHuman A.I will surpass people by next year.

Calvin Kattar  vs.  A. Sterling
Holly Holm  vs.  Kayla Harrison
Agree with those two taking the victories as Kayla would be just too huge for an aging Holm to compete with even if she was 10 years younger.
Aljamain still has got a nasty jab even if he lost his belt to Suga Show not too long ago. He was just outclassed but Kattar just doesn't compete with the likes of Sterling.

Right @notblox1 the UFC wants their franchise to compete with the WWE stories they play.
And @cabron wasn't he just doing this to promote his Powerslap show. Didn't they come out at around the same time?

UFC 300 looks like a fully stacked card and know many who are placing bets on all fights and probably will too with a 13 fight huge acca. Wonder what kind of odds that would produce for a good solid win?

For the NCAA tournament, UConn should get it done against Purdue, and i'm thinking of locking in their spread (-6.5) since they're still the team to win it all.
The NCAA Championships Final finished just as was foreseen by just about everyone with a UConn win for their 6th title to tie the record with the likes of North Carolina and pass Duke with their national titles.

What a prediction for both games!
If you did put any money on both ending in draws then you are quite proud of the bets you placed.
Had Real Madrid and Arsenal winning so lost on mine but I would imagine both draw were around 16+ odds.
Some one who I was following their betslip had over 2.5 goals for the ManCity match 1st half and over 1.5 for the Bayern 1st half with a betslip over 18x odds. So they are happy with those results for sure being a high scoring 1st half.

Some news on the lawsuit from the SEC on Coinbase was released the other day so it would be interesting to see how this affects their business structure going forward as this won't be any issue towards their own blockchain project and actually would bolster it's use case:

So NBA will be coming back tomorrow.

Any early picks here?

We got plenty of games tomorrow but we don't bet all of them, right?

I'm betting on the Celtics vs Bucks as it seemed like Bucks are losing on purpose, maybe putting a bet like to win more than 26 points as this could be a blowout if the starters will play.

Another bet is on the Miami Heat, they need another win to have a chance to be at the number 6.
That's -3.5 vs the Hawks.
Been waiting for this Denver match and they should be going against the Utah Jazz from what I remember somebody posting on this thread, they had lost their last game. So this might be a good pick to put with the Boston game against the faltering Bucks.
Think I'll be staying away from the Hawks game since there was some thing with Trae Young's finger on the sports ticker last night so he could be a scratch tonight.

Don't care much to hear anything about Jon Jones if he is not fighting due to his past.
He is functionally a messed up individual and Dana White has said this when anyone asks him about when he is finally going to fight so to defend his title.
It is not only the problem with Jon Jones, many other fighters in MMA are messed up also.
He was ready to fight but he got injured and that has nothing to do with his crazy history.
We need to have some great heavyweight fight in UFC soon.

Pereira vs Hill as UFC300 main event is not something I was excited to watch, but it could be important step for both of this fighters.
I am more interested in watching Prochazka and Rakic, both of them are coming back after serious injuries.
Of course these fighters have lives just like anyone else but being a champion you have certain obligations to fulfill and if you can't meet those standards set by that organization then you are not fit to hold that title.
That seems to be a requirement of any sport.

I get what you are saying in the main event is missing that something to make it great. But if it wasn't for the 300 in the name this would be an exceptional card regardless.

Those two fighters you mentioned are on the preliminary card yet Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage are on the main card which doesn't seem right to most who have viewed the line-up.
Wanting to pump up a fighter's status by putting him ahead of those other fighters with so much more experience was seen as an error by the scheduling department.

It is a joke at this point. So anything outside the octagon about Bones is just about tricks at a circus show.
So in other words not worth mentioning or discussing about.

There has been a big announcement today Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier.
It has been put on the Diamond's X feed but remember when that happened ahead of the Benoit Saint Denis fight.

Anyways, Islam Makhachev next opponent will be decided at UFC 300 then we will know when Dustin Poirier will fight him. Win or lose against Da Bronx or Arman Tsarukyan.

stop believing the fake market cap and volume numbers

if i shuffled a bunch of bank notes from my own left hand to my own right hand. i can shw that $1m passed between my hands even if there are only $1000 in total

the MEME MARKET IS FAKE. its the creators selling to themselves to fix/rig/fake a price hoping idiots later on buy from them ..
As much as we like to believe that, there's a lot of people that don't believe that and they still think that these meme coins are their way of making something big for themselves, a lot of these people are so ingrained with the FOMO from Dogecoin that they're going to buy all the other meme coins out there in hopes that it's going to be the next Dogecoin without any regard from the fact that it's probably just some small group that are creating these meme coins from time to time to entice those suckers for more of their money, definitely there's a rigging in meme coins but people don't learn or they're ignoring it altogether because they want to believe in the impossible.
Would you believe this now over a month later from you assumption of this market?
Bitcoin is coming to it's all time high once again at $73,700. Reaching $72,500 this morning from the weekend.

There is the biggest increase for a dog meme coin which has been pumped from it's announcement for it to be on the sphere in Las Vegas three weeks ago from a crowd funded project just at the beginning of the year:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/dogwifhat-price-hits-record-high-las-vegas-sphere-crowdfund
Even Cryptobanter had a feature on their cryptochannel when it was crowdfunding.

It's price has reached $4.20usd as it's all time high this morning:


The bitcoin halving is scheduled to drop on 4/20 of this month.
So see this as you will. If it does, you will certainly see the former ceo of X post about it like he has in the past.

I thought I was going to miss all the games today because I woke up late. But somehow I caught 2 games still playing midway the regulation and I managed to bet two and won it. Lucky!

With the Denver Nuggets beating the Atlanta Hawks yesterday, Nikola Jokic landed his 25th triple double of the season to join Westbrook and Sabonis with that many in a single season.

Interested to see how far the joker and Nuggets can go this season. Will wait for the teams Tuesday's match against the Utah Jazz to put any money on an NBA game as teams lately have been a hit and miss.

Watched those matches in the epl earlier and of course there just had to be draws for both Liverpool & Chelsea.
Messed up many parlay bets for those who had those two on their betslips.
Seem like Arsenal is the only team to really rely on since they are atop of the table now.

NCAA Finals are upon us with the two teams many thought would make it this far in the tournament.
UConn are the favorites to win it all with odds @1.32x while Pudue are @3.25x around 24 hours ahead of the game.

Here is the market for the NCAA Basketball Finals scheduled for tomorrow:

UFC Fight Night is on and waiting for the main event.
UFC Fight Night is just disappointing lol almost all is a decision. Sometimes I really think UFC is watching our bets and knows which one should win lol

The only heavyweight fight that I think should have a real KO is also a decision. Brzeski defeated Valter Walker which I never expected because Walker had a perfect zero loss, and lost against someone white with a stripe record, it doesn't add up. This Walker is half-brother of Johny Walker by the way. 
They were ah okay would make sense then. I missed the early prelims and most of the prelims due to having other things to do as this card didn't look to appealing from the very start expect for the main card bouts. As was the sediment from most of the UFC community on all their podcasts made prior to this weekend's fight night.

Started watching the vegas event from Charlie Campbell vs Trevor Peek.
So was disappointed that I missed Cesar Almeida's debut bout where he KO'd his opponent. Another kick boxer transitioning into MMA is always great to see what they can do in their first match up just like Alex Pereira did in his several years ago.

Also heard about Walker's loss in his debut and how Johnny wrote four tweets in a row about the scoring and how it was wrong:

Just watching the race right now and they are half way done on lap 25 but from the looks of it another formal Verstappen race in the making.
There was a red flag at the very start where Albon and Ricciardo went into the barrier.
But since then it has been a clean race so far.

Wasn't surprised to see another one two by Red Bull on the podium yet again. Their cars seem to love this track in Japan.

Yeah @rohang best to bet on Verstappen so he ends up losing. Cheesy
Think many did last race on the track that his car gave up on him. The only way for him to lose a race all season.

Cs2 major just ended and we are already onto the next big CS LAN  Cool

Iem chengdu is starting on monday , and its been a while since we had a big CS lan in asia, although some big teams like navi,spirit ,vitality are missing  Sad

Those three missing teams could've been invited as a partner team, but maybe they turned it down because they prefer a longer break.

After the IEM Chengdu, there's only a 9-day break until another big tournament (ESL S19) starts.



Also, i'm taking a shot at Team Falcons to 2-0 Heroic @1.58. I like the odds on this one since Heroic already lost two of their three series to slightly weaker teams (against PSG.Quest and G2.IG).


Just started watching Elite League and noticed Team Falcons vs Heroic was a BO2 because it is round robin stage, so of course it ended 1-1.
They just started the match for the Team Spirit versus a team I had not heard of before G2.iG
This one might be the 2-0 match you were wanting it to be for the Falcons.

Like him or hate him, conor mcgregor sure know how to grab attention and make it entertaining for ufc fans,

Almost 3 years after poirier broke his leg, dana has teased a return for mcgregor,
While its certain it will be a high profile fight, who can he fight now and have a realistic shot at winning ?

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/conor-mcgregor-ufc-next-fight-32520462
Dana is sitting on both fighters, Chandler hasn't fought in more than a year either but even so I don't think Connor has a good chance of winning this fight. However, when it comes to fighters who can bring people to buy $80 for a PPV, Connor is the guy. And so Chandler invested in this fight that he did wait.

Let's say Connor wins, he will rank once again, I think he only has 2 fights left for his contract. Whoever is his next fight he still has less chance of winning a fight anyone above him.
Agreed with you on all points made.
There was something I watched a few weeks ago while McGregor was doing interviews when his new movie was being released and Chandler seems washed up and only a peg at this point.
Just so McGregor has a step on his way back to the UFC win column nothing more.
Dana has said during one of his interviews recently that McGregor doesn't need the UFC as he has made as much money from them as he has with branding of Whiskey and whatever else he has his name attached too.
He just wants that next hit of being in the spotlight again.

@darkangel11 After Poirier lost to Gaethje the way he did I thought it was the start of his downward spiral. That was a brutal head kick, the same one that took out Usman. And look what happened to him. Well we don't hear much from him as he hasn't fought in over a year and a half.
So thought the same would happen to Dustin but luckily he got that win against Benoit St.Denis and now he is back on track. Atleast his name is coming up on who Conor should fight after Chandler.

UFC Fight Night is on and waiting for the main event.

Have the Final Four ready to begin in a few hours.
Here are the two markets for both games between Purdue vs NC State and Huskies vs Crimson Tide:

It is evident the Big #1 teams will go on to the Finals but their opponents always have a slim chance to win.
So you never know. North Carolina State can always be the bell of the dance.

Today the EPL is going on with Manchester City dropping a goal to Crystal Palace early on in their match.
They are now 1.75x odds so might be a good one to snag them at the best odds you can during live betting.
