Trofo and the real guys who watch the Serie A more closely... And coinlocket$ I guess..? What do you guys think of Arsenal breaking the bank to splash the cash on Dusan Vlahovic for 70m GBP? Is he worth it?
In my opinion yes. He is one of the more exciting options on the market at the moment. He is complete striker and could do well with all those fast players like Saka, Martinelli and ESR playing around him. Still very young as well so possibility of big transfer out down the road if everything goes as planned. That being said 70M GBP is not a small amount and there is often a problem for players to get adjusted to Premier League so no guarantees as usual but I would like to see him at Arsenal. Yup. Jaden Sancho is the latest proof of it and to some extent even Lukaku’s second stint in the EPL. It shows that not every highly rated player in Europe makes it in the EPL... Another one I couldn’t forget is Timo Werner. I was so excited reading about him being considered by Klopp but then Chelsea splashed the cash and got him. A year later, nothing... Such a disappointment. Anyway I’m hopeful for Vlahovic’s success. The Arsenal fans deserve it and I’d rather see a player do good and flourish. I don’t get why some football supporters like to see a player fail just cos he’s playing for their rivals. I mean there’s a difference between laughing at them when a player misses a goal or commits a stupid foul and flat out hating them. |

Kinda looking like just more of the same...  I feel like we would either need extraordinary positive pressure specifically for Monero, or a bullish tailwind for the whole crypto sector. And neither of those is here. So back down to 4 we go? Or am I just moaning? Yeah, I think some entity was just trying to paint some false hope before doing a rug pull. I think TPTB have decided to throw fiat away on the market side of their attacks. Only the Diamond hands are going to survive this ride.
If you can't beat them then buy them.I don’t think TPTB or whoever care that much about XMR anymore. They’re prolly saying: ‘Us again? Don’t flatter yourselves kids.’. Lol. And they have a lot on their plate. I’ve been reading up on DeFi and decentralized mixing and all that stuff. It looks like a hacker or some guy could swap his loot from DeFi market to market then mix it in something like Tornado Cash then boom. Done. And here’s the thing, all the liquidity is shoveled in there. It’s where the money is! Oh how I wish I didn’t get so complacent and really went balls deep into new stuff like I used to. |

Is he worth it? I mean yeah sure I can go google him and see his stats but football is more nuanced than that. How does he actually look on the pitch? I want an opinion from the optics side of things.
This could be Arteta’s biggest blunder yet. If this guy flops, he gets the sack imho.

Overall, I think Vettel is a good driver. I don't think he's awful, but I don't think he's great. I think if he was at Mercedes or Red Bull, then Max or Lewis would outclass him quite easily in the same car.
Ah... Fair. But I would say this, prime Vettel could hold his own against both in the same car imho. It’s different when you started watching him since his Toro Rosso days. He was an incredible driver and something special. I don’t know what happened to him along the way but it seems like he lost some confidence. I kinda liked the sprint races when it first came out since it was something new. But now having seen it, I prefer the old format tbh. And instead of messing around with the format, get the new engine specs in already... 2026 is way too far off. The wait should better be worth it. Like they’re prolly finding a way to make those engines scream again?  for the entertainment aspect i think sprint races are good you get a glimpse of the race plus you get to watch the chaos of the start one more time where cars are close to each other and everyone looking for a way to overtake and gain positions while its all cramped with other cars, also you get to watch qualification on friday the sprint on sunday plus saturday is the race because many find the free practice sessions are not exciting to watch so they skip watching f1 on friday. next season we will have 6 races with sprint race which is going to be exciting to see in my opinion. Here’s the think with sprint races, it adds more risks to the drivers and to the car getting damaged or something. We have seen anything of that sort happen last season but as it goes I’m pretty sure we’ll see some crash involving a couple of drivers or more who wouldn’t be able to race on race day... Then it’s going to be another issue. And I love qualifying and watching those guys battle for their spots at the grid. There’s nothing like the last few seconds at Q3 and it’s just a couple of tenths between second and first. |

UFC confirmed that Jorge Masvidal will fight Colby Covington on March 5 ? Once they were very close friends. Colby lived at Masvidal place for some period, they trained together, done everything together. Like brothers. But now there is so much hate between them. Maybe Colby is just playing a role of a villain in whole UFC, maybe they really hate each other. What I know, there wont be a long stare down between these two and no mercy.
Holy shit... It’s really happening. Lol. I wouldn’t believe anything til I saw it in Tapology. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/84662-ufc-fight-nightAnyway, the event this weekend just took another bad turn. Kelleher is now facing Croom, the other guy tested positive for covid, TJ Brown is now facing Charles Rosa, Benitez withdrew and I think we lost a couple more matches which brings it down to just 10 matches. I think I counted 12 matches last week, 15 originally. I think Rosa via sub could be around 8.50 or something. That could be the spot. Brown has a baaad gas tank. |

I think Liverpool we have a hard time winning this game in all honesty I think is a 50/50 match both team have great player the only plus for Liverpool here is they have Mohamed Salah,he is such a genius that can change the game in one moment even if Liverpool are playing badly.inter have their own small demon in Lautaro Martinez the Argentine is a creator and finisher.
I just read about Ian rush talking about Liverpool last night, he has a feeling Liverpool would be winning versus inter on san Siro because have great players on each line, especially trio attacker Salah, Mane, and Firminho. but, Liverpool must be careful if the legend turn, Dzeko. He made Wolfsburg get the first time title Bundesliga. Inter also has a good defense, a draw is possible if one or other (salah or mane) have a bad performance. Edin Dzeko? He was with Man City in their title winning season too under Roberto Mancini. City’s first title since a very long time before that. Lol. Dzeko was really good at City but he was mostly used as super sub with Aguero used as the first striker for most of the fixtures in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1. I don’t know much about the Serie A but judging from just each club’s current form and with the match being played at Inter Milan, I feel like Inter could win but a more likely result is a draw... Dunno. But if I were to bet this it would be something like Inter double chance and BTTS combo at 2.50. Decent value imo. |

Newcastle have funds to spend but they are taking things slowly, allowing manager Howe time to settle in and to allow the players a chance to prove themselves. As for the game this evening, you went for a draw and I went for an away win... let us see what the score will be when the full time whistle is heard  Everton vs Leicester City has been postponed therefore the only game Premier League taking place this evening is Southampton vs BrentfordSouthampton may have been purchased by a new owner but the funds will take time to get through to the manager to start spending on new players. I will go for the following scoreline: Southampton 1-2 Brentford Change of ownership of course will not immediately provide a complete change to their performance, of course it will take time for the manager to get the right players for their squad composition, just like what happened to newcastle today, even though they have a lot of money but they just got 1 or 2 players in the transfer market. It's hard to guess who will win in that match, because the current conditions of the two teams are not much different, so I think maybe the two teams will draw 0-0 or 1-1 in the match later. Should they tho? Newcastle is the second favorite to be relegated with just 11 points after playing 19 fixtures... Not good. I think they should be acquiring at least 3 players, esp players for the midfield for some creativity and a couple of decent CB’s. But no.. They acquired Chris Wood from Burnley. Lol. They already have Callum Wilson, Saint-Maximin and Joelinton who are decent forwards for what they need. But they got Eddie Howe who is a decent hire as a manager. If they go down, they have an experienced manager who could get them back up just like he did twice at Bournemouth. And if they stay up somehow, Howe is capable of building the club from the bottom up to be a mid table club imo. |

The price dipped it’s toe below $40K to test the waters. It was on decent volume so that’s the closest we’ve seen to capitulation so far on this bear market run. We’re about to see a death cross in the market, with a likely target of $34K should the death cross pattern hold. I think we’re all hoping for a rally here, but it may be wishful thinking. Hopefully today’s Bill Miller statement will get some other big money on board the pump.
It wasn’t really capitulation. It was more like manipulation to shake off weak hands and liquidate some longs before the big dudes start buying it all up for themselves. You know.. The usual. Lol. So yeah, here we are, almost like it’s playing out just like July last year. I’d expect everyone to feel great and go say ‘the bottom is in’ but no. It could go touch 40k again and by that time let’s really hope it holds. The moment it doesn’t is the moment some huge holders could start to capitulate and then we’d see 30k tested. IMHO. |

^ Nope, I think this event is a banger even after the match cancellations. But from a betting perspective I think I’ll just have a 5 leg parlay from the bouts I’m interested in. So with where the lines are at right now, going for Benitez, Brahimaj, Brito, Royval and Chikadze would be lined at 10.98 or so. Add the co main to that with Chook and it will be 16.90. Not bad imo. 10 bucks to win around 160 then bet the whole 160 on Ngannou for the next event.  It’s the degen way. Here a couple of vids... This is the match that convinced me that Chikadze could be on his way to the top. UFC Free Fight: Chikadze vs Barbozahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn2qeEouAQMPeak Kattar ain’t no joke tho. Burgos is pretty good too. UFC Free Fight: Kattar vs Burgoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhu_geKXz1s |

One EPL game tonight West Ham vs Norwich.
Actually this is easy to guess and clearly West Ham will outperform all of them, and West Ham can overtake Arsenal for a while on the other hand bookmakers give West Ham a small chance at 1.40.
And I think the weekend will be a lot more fun for all the leagues to play hopefully no more delays.
What the bookies are really doing is, they’re giving us a chance to win small money. There’s def more value to be had to bet on specials or the team totals prop for this match. Norwich team total under .5 goals is at 1.83. Norwich have been sucking for this whole season even under Dean Smith. You could also do a combo bet with West Ham to win and BTTS no at 2.06 or West Ham win to nil for the same line. And just noticed that another match was postponed again... At least we’ll be having EPL football for at least a couple more weeks.. It could play out til June imho. |

^ Technically Cancelo is the best. But that’s just me. And for 25m GBP for a 29 year old left back.. Hmmm, not really sure if it’s a decent piece of business. But then again it’s mid season transfer window. Clubs tend to pay higher. So to throw in something that doesn't seem to be discussed much here, Liverpool are about to do 2 things this month. Either agree to pay the highest wage we've ever done (~200,000 a week) to keep Salah (and I definitely think we should) or scout around to buy a lot of talent with the payday they'll get to release him.
Heart wants Salah to stay of course and I think that'll happen. He loves the club and the club loves him back. But FSG I still can't really trust or understand. No tidbits from regulars here?
I’m not a Liverpool supporter but I want him to stay with Klopp too. But at the end of the day these club owners, FSG in this case, run a business. If it’s time to sell a player, it’s time to sell a player. And no doubt Salah loves the club but he’s a professional too. If another club offers him a better deal, he’ll get his agent to go talk and listen. Not everyone is a Steven Gerrard these days. |

This coming event would’ve been a banger for a Fight Night but some matches were cancelled due to injury. They would’ve been good ones... Kleydson Rodrigues vs Zarrukh Adashev, Joaquin Buckley vs Abdul Razak Alhassan. Michel Pereira vs Muslim Salikhov and Raoni Barcelos vs Victor Henry were all cancelled.  The matches left I’m looking forward to most are Gabriel Benítez vs TJ Brown, Court McGee vs Ramiz Brahimaj, Bill Algeo vs Joanderson Brito, Brandon Royval vs Rogério Bontorin and the main event.

What is your opinion?
I mean, you're in Bitcointalk, a Bitcoin forum. What kind of opinions do you expect? Of course people here would be bullish lol. 🤷♂️ His next question should then be: What do you think about the bullishness about Bitcoin even though it’s really bearish? Is this a normal thing in Bitcointalk? Anyway BTC’s price movements should be fun to watch during the next couple of days. Switch to 5 min chart and enjoy the volatility. It’s somewhat a clash for gains between the longs and the shorts. |

On Oct 28,2021 i made this topic, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5368047The title was "Getting Early 2018 top vibes" I basically listed 10 different reasons why there is a good chance we are going to top soon. Such as meme coins pumping, uber driver trading crypto, Jason Bourne doing crypto.com commercials, people quitting their careers to trade crypto full time, etc. Nobody believed me. People were saying thats its not topping yet, it will top in 2023, etc, etc. That’s the thing around these parts. You say what you think and if they don’t like it, the whole lot of them moonbois go on a barrage of posts saying how you’re wrong or you’re just a bear without even trying to think about what you’re trying to say or even look at the chart you just showed... It’s like ‘I’m right you’re wrong and that’s that.’. How are we supposed to learn from each other if that’s usually the case? Anyway, about your thread, wait for the bounce. It could be the end but then again who knows... Already made a couple of posts about it so I won’t post it again here. |

yes, just for the sake of checking the sentiments from people here . i believe we will hit below 40k but it will bounce back. anyone can give their own predictions on this market. so there's no right or wrong answer here. and even if it will dip below 40k, still it is still way above the price level of btc just before the pandemic. What do you mean there’s no right or wrong answer? This isn’t no art class. BTC can def either go below 40k USD or not. And yes, it def did this time. So now let’s see if the momentum going down continues or if it goes for another bounce... I’d say if momentum going to 30k builds, it’s prolly going to bounce from 30k to 40k then go back down. If it bounces from current range, it could go bounce to 46k - 48k then go back down then trend back up. ... Hopefully it’s the latter, not the former. Cross your fingers. |

 We are entering the Fear phase now. Hold onto your Butts! Are we? The daily obv looks bad but the weekly still looks decent. And that 40k support looks like it’s going to hold imho. Dunno... But I’d start worrying if BTC breaks down 40k and drops with lots of mometum to 30k.  And if anything, to me it really feels like it’s going to play out like it did last July. But this time with 40k bottom instead of 30k. BTC could go back up to 46k - 48k then drop back down to where it is right now before trending back up again.  |

We always read the words "Don't bet more than you can afford to lose", but are we really following that safe principle in gambling?
So, I have a question here, if you are earning like $2000 a month, how much are you willing to gamble that you think you can afford to lose?
Please use the amount as a basis for your answer.
If I needed that 2k a month for expenses, bills, mortage or rent and car payments? I wouldn’t use any of it for gambling. Not sports, not poker, nothing... Here’s the thing, if you want to take gambling, sports betting or poker more seriously then you should have a separate bankroll for all your gambling stuff and have at least 6 months worth of savings for monthly expenses. But if you’re just gambling for fun... Just use a 50 bucks at most per weekend, split them 5 ways per bet in different events you enjoy... Better yet, just bet them on degen parlays. A full card parlay in a UFC event could win you 60k for a 10 dollar bet if it hits. Lol. |

^ Yeah.. Watch these Salikhov tapes. https://mmacore.tv/search/salikhovHe def has the tools like Pereira but more tight and efficient in movement. @tokeweed, @YuginKadoya. I am not quite certain if uncle Dana will consider this, however, triple C Henry Cejudo has offered himself as another choice to replace Max Holloway and challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight championship hehehe. Henry Cejudo will become the first UFC fighter to win 3 championships in 3 different divisions if gets the victory. As fate would have it, Cejudo, who has been lobbying to fight Volkanovski for several months, has thrown his name into the ring as a potential short-notice replacement. If selected, maybe Cejudo will be the one on the other end of an all-time classic against Volkanovski.Source https://www.mmanews.com/2022/01/cejudo-volkanovski-vs-ortega-greatest-fight-ever/I wouldn’t mind if it happened tbh but really if Cejudo wins he would be fucking up 145 like he did 135 after winning the belt then retiring. Lol. So I’m sticking to if Chikadze almost doesn’t break a sweat if he wins vs Kattar, he’ll be in for a title match. And if Aljo pulls out, which I think he will then UFC 272 is ckufed. |

^ A lot more? I don’t think so... 30k isn’t really far away from what the price is at right now which is now around 41.2k. Again, if 30k breaks, we’re done for. Let’s just hope there aren’t any more huge holders that’s gonna capitulate and add more down side momentum if BTC approaches 30k. Lol.
But really I’m expecting a bounce to around 46k, maybe 48k then a drop back down to where it’s currently at then hopefully it plays out like July and trends back up again.
