Don't write Aljo off so fast, I am sure he prepared and trained a lot for his next oscar acting trick in case his fighting skills are not enough to beat Yan in this fight.
Poke in the eye, kick in the nuts, or illegal punch scenario is possible again, so Yan should better be prepared for provocations like that, and fans will probably be on Aljo side.
I am just reading that Israel Adesanya is rooting for Gilbert Burns against Khamzat Chimaev, and he thinks Burns can win this fight.


Aljamain Sterling is clear to all people a fake champion, and training and preparing to act was really what he was doing. but we could surely be wrong if he hurt his ego and trained without tomorrow for his fight with Petr Yan, and with that experience in fighting Yan he can surely have the glimpse in how he can handle Yan, but I am just exaggerating things, because Aljamain Sterling is know towards his laziness,

Talking about Israel Adesanya, my opinion he could be right with the Gilbert Burns stuff and seeing how crazy Burns is preparing for this fight I might change my mind on betting for Burns, but there is this little spark for Khamzat Chimaev to have a chance against Burns, that is why I am still going with Khamzat Chimaev,

^  Oh for sure.  I could see Burns making it look competitive in the first round just like what he did vs Usman.  But I don't know what it is whether it's his gas tank or his chin but Burns isn't really that durable.  He could even be finished at the first if Chimaev catches him.

Bottom line, striking Burns could have a slight advantage tho Chimaev has KO power.  BJJ, def Burns.  Wrestling, Chimaev.  Durability, maybe Chimaev?  We haven't seen him go all three rounds in the UFC.

Well, you got your good analysis right there. Khamzat Chimaev although we can not see it in his physique. I can say he is durable in some ways, and I could say that Chimaev could last longer than Burns. We can say many are judging this fight because of Burns Body build but we can always be wrong when we judge the book by his cover, and Khamzat Chimaev is packed with quality, if not with his physique. I am guessing his strength is undeniably there a thought, yeah, he surely will have a hard time with Burns, that's for sure.

-snip-

Its too risky to bet unsurely to the other cards besides the top 3 fights Volkanov, Chimaev and Yan somehow is the easiest to look at. One can tell base on the tale of the tape. But for the other card, you can simply just pick base on their odds.

I can see Burns could have the chance. He got the subs and can strike but so does Chimaev. Chimaev will bring the fight to wrestling that's for sure giving no chance for Burns to stand.

It is really too risky to just bet on favorites with Burns and Chimaev but I could say both guys have potential, but Chimaev is just superb with his wrestling that he can used the corner of the cage as an advantage and that is what I like about russian wrestling so much, but Burns he is saying he got the ultimate defense with such kind of wrestling, but I surely doubt and Khamzat Chimaev also has that Striking power so standing or ground he can choose whenever what kind of form he wants to win.

I believe these games that we will have today can be easy to analyze and who will be the winner.

I agree with what @Dave1 said just above... Grizzlies will probably rest the best players and put the reserve team in this game against Jazz.

I think a game that can be balanced will be Grizzlies vs Jazz, but I have no doubt that the Jazz will do everything to win this game, because if they remain in their current position, there will be great chances of Jazz play against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.

I think the Grizzlies didn't put their main players on a rest and they still lost to the Utah Jazz, I really think they should just let them rest for this game, but yeah, I have said that I will change my pick but as the game started and most players of the Grizzlies that are questionable have played I still didn't change my pick and still go with the Utah Jazz, and pretty much I am lucky with my decision.


Chicago Bulls VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 106-127 - WIN

DeMar DeRozan is just firing up he got 40 points while Patrick Williams just got 18 Points but it was not enough and Giannis Antetokounmpo is just relaxing because of the great transistion of score to the team, from start to finish the Bucks is just transitioning their score to every players giving mostly to the starting team double-digit scores, while Jrue Holiday got a double-double performance of 13 assist and 11 points, what a great win for the Bucks,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Washington Wizards SCORE 114-132 - LOST

This game was very unpredictable I really though that the Timberwolves would win this because the of their solid starting, but the Wizards sure has got it going wven with only 8 players, Karl-Anthony Towns made a double-double performance, of 10 Rebounds and 26 Points, D' Angelo Russell did a doubl-doubl aswell and Anthony Edwards with 18 points but it was not enough with Wizards own double-double of Daniel Gafford has 12 rebounds and 24 points, Rui Hachimura has 21 points and Kristaps Porzinggis has 23 points making the Wizard the winner for this match,

Utah Jazz VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 121-115 - WIN

I never though that the Grizzlies except Killian Tillie, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane,  Tyus Jones, and Steven Adams will still play the game, but it is a good sign that I still continued on betting for the Utah Jazz,

My picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my pick,


Chicago Bulls VS Milwaukee Bucks

Stake odds for this game are 2.55 for the Bulls while 1.55 for the Bucks, Lonzo Ball is out and can not play for the Bulls while DeAndre' Bembry is out for the season, last 2 matches of these teams Milwaukee won both games, and in Chicago Bulls also struggles to win over the best teams in the League this game the Bulls could be very dependent on how Zach Levine is playing, and if he could play for this match, that is why I am going with the Milwaukee Bucks for this match.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Washington Wizards

Stake odds for this game are 1.13 for the Timberwolves, while 6.40 for the Wizards, Jaden McDaniels is out with an ankle injury while Patrick Beverley is in question if he's able to play with the Timberwolves, while Kyle Kuzma can not play for the Wizards, Vernon Carey Jr. is in question if he can play, the Timberwolves is averaging and excels more on defense now, so I am thinking to play my pick for the Timberwolves but staying away in a regular bet because of the odds.

Utah Jazz VS Memphis Grizzlies

Stake Odds for this game are 1.48 for the Jazz While 2.75 for the Grizzlies, Trent Forrest is questionable if he can play for the Jazz while Ja Morant is expected to return on April 7, and is out for this game, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, Killian Tillie, Tyus Jones, and Steven Adams is in question if he can play, for this game I will wait for the game to start and see if the Grizzlies questionable if they can really play, but for now, my pick may change but will go with the Jazz,

Dricus Du Plessis one of the cancelled bouts unfortunately. Hoping someone steps in for him, since I was looking forward to watching his fight with Kelvin Gastelum. He's seriously underrated I feel, and always puts on a show. Tapology saying that he's rebooked. Although, it doesn't appear to be for this event? Struggling to find news on it oddly.

I want to see it aswell, but the original fight was Kelvin Gastelum VS Nassourdine Imavov but Imavov was forced to withdraw due to visa issues, and that's when Dricus Du Plessis steps in but unfortunately, Gastelum withdrew a week before due to undisclosed injury and now the fight was canceled until further news if they could find a replacement for Kelvin Gastelum,

-snip-
No doubt he has put away his opponents in exciting fashion. However, if you take a look at who he has fought, there's no massive names or even any formidable gate keepers. He has yet to tested, and Burns is the ultimate test. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Burns gets a belt, however he is the ultimate gatekeeper, since he can knock out anyone, however he also has some decent grappling, and wrestling skills. He's just so well rounded, without really excelling at much when compared with the others in the division.

I'll be putting my money on Burns on the off chance. The odds (5.00) are way too good to turn down. At least that's what they were when I looked at them a few days ago. I expect closer to the event they'll go down a bit since a lot of people will be fancying him at those odds.

I have seen the video of Gilbert Burns training and thinking about it and just watching his training surely wants to make me puke, it was a hard training just to counter that Russian wrestling some are scared to face, but Burns is intensely preparing for it, and like I have said Gilbert Burns has this Physique, and now if he can be a vanguard to all Russian wrestlers the way Khabib Nurmagomedov style of grappling, this could be a really tough opponent for Khamzat Chimaev, and I love to see that,

But Still siding with the hype goat, Khamzat Chimaev, actually I want to see if Chimaev is true to what he is saying if he can bust open Burns then he can see Kamaru Usman early but if he fails, then Gilbert Burns needs another shot at Kamaru Usman,

Dont forget that Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman are good friend. Kamanu helped him to prepare for the fight against Chimaev. Burns, as a black belt in BJJ, can cause some troubles to Chivaev wrestling. I could say that this could be a game of chess or mouse and cat, who makes first mistake. But Chivaev will go forward like a locomotion and will try to win thanks to his strength.
I saw Gilbert Burns is preparing like crazy for this fight against Khamzat Chimaev and it's going to be very interesting to watch both of them in same cage.
Odds on Chimaev are very low, simialr like for Petr Yan against Aljamain Sterling, but it's not going to so easy like odds are suggesting.
This fight card should not be missed and maybe I will bet something on underdogs this time but Alexander Volkanovski should win in main event.



Odds are just there to guide who the people want to win, and who's the favorite, well if we always believe in what the odds are saying we tend to lose sight of the bigger picture, and actually Gilbert Burns is preparing like crazy, Khamzat Chimaev is sure a threat for them to prepare for a rank 11 challenger, I think that is how Scary Khamzat Chimaev's Russian wrestling is and no wonder why many are so scared of facing him.
3425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 04, 2022, 07:37:14 PM
Just as I thought SV Werder Bremen will eventually overtake the competition, it doesn't really mean that even though you are not winning at the start of the season you will not end in the 1st position, this is why the 2nd division has such thrills you may never know who's really going to the 1st division until this season ends, I certainly just leave and rest in posting in this thread and when I came back Werder had already taken the highest in this division, maybe Werder can come back and promoted in the 1st division next season but the last season promoted Furth is not looking good in the last spot of the Bundesliga and in danger in returning to the 2nd division next season.

with yesterday's surprising away defeat of st. pauli at hansa rostock (0-1), werder bremen can become the sole leader of the table with a home win against sandhausen today with then 54 points.
the match between heidenheim and nürnberg will also be interesting - both teams need to win to avoid losing contact with third place.

But the match has ended up in a draw, but still, it is still in favor of Werder, because a score is still a score for the 2nd division, but even though the game ended in a draw if we look at the game stats you can see that Werder Bremen has the advantage against SV Sandhausen from Shots, Shots on target, ball possession, passes, and with pass accuracy, all percentage was pretty much high for the game to end up in a draw, but that is just how the game ends.

3426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 04, 2022, 08:46:47 AM

Yes, I agree that despite Casimero's large mouth, I think he can fairly deliver. I was actually excited when the talks of a Casimero vs Inoue fight was floated. We all know that both boxers are literal fighters inside the ring. They fight blow by blow. In Donaire's case, he is more of a counter puncher. He does not release a barrage of punches. He is more of a one-two combination puncher.

Let us see if promoters would be choosing Casimero for the winner of this fight's next opponent, given that he will win against Butler. For now, let's focus on this exciting rematch. But I am rooting for the much younger Inoue.

Yup! he is best at delivering it with his actions, and fairly enough he will not talk about it if he can not do it, I am waiting for the Casimero versus Butler, because after that fight we will see Casimero versus who ever wins on the Donaire vs Inoue, but for me I think Donaire has a fighting chance, he can surely give Naoya Inoue a hard fight just like what happen in their 1st match, but I think it will be pretty much there might be a different result, regarding their rematch, but I will surely not underestimate Inoue, and Same goes with Donaire, Naoya better be careful about Nonito Donaire this time he got a glimpse of experience in taking Inoue's punches head on,

@goldkingcoiner. It appears you underestimate the commitment of some of the Southeast Asian fighters. If we are talking about commitment, I reckon Pacman has showed that he is one of the most commited boxers in the world. I would reckon that he is the most commited. His record is not perfect, however, he has accomplished more than anyone in the sport of boxing.

Donaire's social media presence is only marketing. I am quite certain his wife has hired someone to run the account and be in charge of promoting Nonito Donaire in Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Well, we can surely see both fighters determination, in this fight and who ever wins this fight will be the more determined and very hungry for greatness and hunger for victory, for sure many will be in favor with Noaya Inoue. But there are a few that may risk on betting for Nonito Donaire, because of what he has shown inside that ring; he surely was agonizing in pain because of inoue's body blows but his determination has shown more quality.
3427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 04, 2022, 07:08:44 AM
It will be more important and interesting how next season will go with the championship. I see no reason to believe that teams like Dortmund or RB Leipzig could get any closer to Bayern Munich. And in addition, Haaland is also going to leave Dortmund, and there is no good alternative. Bayern will probably become champions quite easily in the coming years. This season it is only important to see who can seize the 2nd place.
As long as the club's performance in the Bundesliga is still like it is now, Bayern will continue to be champions and this hegemony will continue.
But it's very difficult to face bayern btw, they are currently in a solid period apart from that they are also very stable both in terms of players, management and even financially so I think this is quite natural they can maintain their gear even almost a decade now

Even without Robert Lewandowski on their Team Bayern Munich still got a solid team, but they are outperforming when they are in the lead, but if Bayern Munich will not get Lewandowski in the next season, maybe other club will have a fighting chance, but the chance for Lewandowski leaving the club for now it is likely at 70%, Xavi is taking the Barcelona Project to the next level and giving the polish striker a 4 years contract likely the polish star is surely be leaving Bayern Munich, and his relationship with Bayern is likely deteriorating as day goes by.

Borussia Dortmund have to be alert now, after their defeat in this week's match they are now closer to Leverkusen by just 6 points, as Leverkusen managed to get a win in the match against Hertha Berlin.
If Borussia Dortmund can't get up, it's very likely that in 3 games they will be replaced by Leverkusen.

I really like Leipzig, I think it is a trap that they are keeping lost in the start of the Bundesliga just to prepare in getting backup so that other teams will not be aware of their advantage, this is a surprise comeback for the Leipzig and I think they can done this again in the next season, and if Lewandowski will likely to leave Bayern Munich and Erling Haaland will leave Dortmund as well I am really expecting great potential for Leipzig, to climb the top next season.


I don't think that Dortmund is in any danger to lose their second place in the table. They are 6 points ahead of Leverkusen and 9 points ahead of Leipzig with only 6 games left to play. Ok, Dortmund didn't perform so well the last weeks, but they are strong enough to maintain their lead against the other two teams. (Also Leverkusen and Leipzig still will face each other in a couple of weeks, taking their points)

That would likely to happen Dortmund will not give away the 2nd position, likely if they can not make a win they would rather make the game a Draw, just to get points so yes Leverkusen and Leipzig will have a hard time gaining the 2nd spot, but for me maybe if Leipzig will keep the winning streak their might be a chance in gaining the 3rd position,

Every single fighter I've seen being hyped up, has been derailed at some point even if it was only temporary. I expect it'll  be the same, and I actually think Burns might be the reality check we all need. Not sure why Burns is being so underrated.
The rise of Khamzat Chimaev in the UFC is simply because of the manner in which he dominated his opponents, 4 fights and to get one strike in return and that too a weak punch when he was dominating the fighter, is not a simple hype and then his skills while talking, the broken English just like Khabib Nurmagomedov and he took the opportunity and ran with it.

There is another scary fighter in the division who is undefeated from Uzbekistan Shavkat Rakhmonov who is another finishing machine but he is not good at the Mic and hence he is not popular and i am sure majority of the MMA fans never would have heard his name but his skills are outstanding.

Gilbert Burns is the toughest fight for Khamzat Chimaev and from the pre fight preparation Gilbert Burns is said to be preparing this camp with high level Russian wrestlers to counter the ground game of Khamzat Chimaev and on the ground Gilbert Burns is a legend as he is an elite level BJJ champion. So i expect the fight to be on the feet as both knows their strengths.

Uzbekistan Shavkat Rakhmonov got annoyed in asking about Chimaev all the time; he doesn't really want to be reminded of somebody, or gets to be compared with someone, he really gets annoyed from it but I think he has no bad feelings towards Khamzat Chimaev. He just doesn't want to be lumped in with someone.

Or maybe Uzbekistan's Shavkat Rakhmonov got pissed on how Khamzat Chimaev addresses himself as the best fighter in the league, and that surely included Shavkat Rakmonov, and he certainly doesn't like how Chimaev is talking like that. but who knows, I think both fighters deserve a title shot, but Shavkat Rakmonov just doesn't want the easy way around.

And against Gilbert Burns well I do believe that he will be having a hard time on Burns but because Chimaev really loves the ground I think he can find a way to submit Burns, even though Gilbert Burn has some advantage on the ground as well, but Burns will be a challenge for him, but for me I think Chimaev is like an animal when fighting on the ring and will surely eats Burns mentally you can not see it in his physique, but he is mentally prepared that he can beat anyone, that is a strong confidence coming from Khamzat Chimaev.

The Results in todays game,

Oklahoma City Thunder VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 117-96 - LOST

What am I thinking betting for the Phoenix Suns when Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Jae Crowder are at rest, well I surely underestimated the Thunders, and Chris Paul is still not in his good shape, I surely not take in consideration that this was a trap and that the Phoenix Suns is ready to give up this match just to let Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Jae Crowder get some rest, well it is initially a experience during this near quarter finals, the Suns is not really performing well Mikal Bridges just scored 18 points Cameron Johnson has 14 points and Chris Paul got 11 points, while the Thunders Aleksej Pokusevski has a triple double performance, of 10 rebounds, 12 assist, and 17 points this goes to show that the Suns is OK to really lose,


Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 90-109 - WIN

Just like I said, but Klay Thompson is on rest, but Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins have given a great game against the Kings, even though Harrison Barnes made a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 18 points and Damian Jones got 17 points the Warriors Sophromores and juniors have double their performance, Nemanja Bjelica had a double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 19 points, while Jordan Poole got 22 points Jonathan Kuminga got 17 points and Andrew Wiggins got 25 points, their defensive play was really high they got a total of 47 defensive rebounds, 8 Blocks and 8 Steals.
3430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 03, 2022, 07:38:11 PM
^  Yeah, I guess Chimaev has become one of the most exciting, if not the most exciting prospect in the UFC rn.  Stealing a term from an infamous football manager, Chimaev could be the 'special one'.  Grin  But then again Burns could show him a thing or two...  I'd say the line is too wide but maybe after the match Chim will justify the line.  We'll see.


And because of that, I am pretty much pumped with excitement for the match ahead, despite me as Chimaev Gilbert Burn sure posted a threat if Chimaev could outwrestle Burns I am more curious if Khamzat Chimaev really has the strength in doing such a feat, because of Burns Physique I can not surely compare if what will be the outcome of the fight, it is really unpredictable, while the Main and Co-main is sure predictable many are so intrigued about this fight that I can help but think it is the Main event worthy fight.

^ Chimaev is the special one. Its not just a hype, he's what he is. He lift Jing up and then talk to Dana while in the cage asking what he'd do scares the MMA fighters watching the fight. I say Burns seem challenged while the everyone hides from Chimaev. I don't bet big but this is going to be one of the fight that I might bet at least $200 to win $20.

Aljamain Sterling vs Petr Yan on UFC 273 will be fun. Aljo may not escape this time around.

Right? that kind of power is the thing many are afraid of, while Gilbert Burns is the only one that shows the balls to fight Chimaev, that is why I salute him, but surely posted a threat in giving Chimaev a defeat, I am for Khamzat Chimaev on this one and I truly believe that Chimaev is not only hype if he said it will come true, in my opinion, Burn has the Physique and strength to take on Chimaev while Khamzat Chimaev has the Skill and determination in giving Burns a hard time aswell, and I can not help but be excited on the outcome,

For Aljamain Sterling I don't know if he analyses Petr Yan's moves, but in their first fight Petr Yan in the 1st rounds came very slow and still processing Sterling's movement on what he's going to do, and on the round ends he is capitalizing Sterling and have shown advantage on the fight I guess Petr Yan will sure explode from the start because he already knows what Aljamain Sterling can do, but it is up to Aljamain Sterling if he has some new moves to cater a win over Yan.

Here are the Picks for today's game highlighted in green are my picks I am just having two picks for today just to be safe.

Oklahoma City Thunder VS Phoenix Suns

Stake odds for this game are 8.80 for the Thunders while 1.08 for the Suns, Kenrich Williams, and Tre Mann can not play for the Thunders while Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Aleksej Pokusevski and questionable if they can play, while Frank Kaminsky, Dario Saric, isn't playing because of certain injuries, while Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Jae Crowder is sitting this game and will be resting against the Oklahoma City Thunders, right now, the Thunders is having a difficult time in making progress because of so much in the team that is out for the season while the Suns don't have Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Jae Crowder because the team decided that it is a good time to take those three to rest it is up to CP3, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Payne, and    Cameron Johnson to put up a match agaisnt the Thunders but the Suns are taking it easy because they had so many points to spare and making it an advantage for them, but I am taking the Suns but staying away on betting.


Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

Stake Odds for this game are 2.70 for the Kings while 1.49 for the Warriors, Terence Davis, De'Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis can not play for the Kings Alex Len is questionable if he can play, while Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors, with these game I am a bit bias but the Warriors winning this game with Jordan Poole still in the pace in getting big points every game Steve Ker is saying that they are focusing on defense more, so Draymond Green will sure fire up with those defensive rebounds I think that Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson can focus more on offense while the rest will be more on the defensive side, Jordan Poole is making progress in becoming a sophomore to playing an all-star level, while I am more intrigued in Jonathan Kuminga's progress but will see, my pick will be the Warriors.

In the beginning of the season Dortmund was doing okay in their performance but all of a sudden they became weak. Dortmund will find it difficult to bounce back strong , the way things are going it seems it is too late for them meet up in this season , Dortmund defense is too poor to think about.

We can not say they are weak, Dortmund is an established team, especially with Erling Haaland on the team, and Marco Reus against Leipzig but the currency flaw for Dortmund is their defense, on the Defensive standpoint Dortmund will certainly lose to Leipzig because of Dortmund's wide defense, and Leipzig is in the advantage with the offense they have a lot of option in making a great play on the offense and Erling Haaland is not a great defender, he might be one of the best strikers there is but he is not good at defensive play,

Dortmund will, of course, complain again about Bayern being champions. As if Bayern had anything to do with Dortmund failing to beat Leipzig at home in front of 80,000 fans?

Everyone who follows German football calls it the Bayernliga, not the Bundesliga. Bayern is champion 10. time in a row!  Cheesy
Should we blame Bayern for being good and dominating Bayernliga Tongue
They pick the best players, best coaches, build a solid team to compete everyone while Dortmund is making good players and sell them for profit, which makes the team quite unstable. For now they have Haaland, they will sell him most likely next season then? For Leipzig, same thing, they reformed the team although the good season they made last time and here we go. The other teams like Leverkusen aren't that consistent to compete Bayern.

I really don't like to blame Bayern for being so much solid as a team, and Bayern Munich really have the financial capabilities of getting their best players, and right now getting a hold of Robert Lewandowski for another season on a contract, well right now it will be on Lewandowski's decision if he can stay but for Bayern Munich making or getting players that have a near caliber of Robert Lewandowski is a possibility.

-snip-

Haaland wants to leave and here Borussia has no priority in deciding whether this event will take place or not.
As for Bayern, they could be blamed if they dominated only in the domestic championship, but they always perform well in the Champions League. This means that the rest of the teams should raise their level and not Bayern lower own.

I surely agree Bayern Munich should not step down from being number 1 and lose a couple of march from the playing field but rather other teams should try to level themselves to the level of Bayern, if Bayern Munich has the capabilities in getting to be number 1, the other teams should strive hard with hard work, in getting to the top even without financial backing up.

3433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 03, 2022, 04:01:38 PM
I am not an expert, but I sure know a thing about NBA teams and the current standings, and right now if we look by each conference we look at who's currently at number 1 but let's just get the teams that are currently on the 4th spot of each conference and for the Eastern Conference we have the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and the Philadelphia 76ers, While on the Western Conference we have the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors, and Dallas Mavericks, and for these teams, I can say that you can pick on these 8 teams and wait for the Semi-Finals before making your decisions,

But I will be biased here I say the Golden State Warriors will be the Champion, I am saying this because that is what I truly believe, even though Stephen Curry can not play right now the Golden State Warriors are still in a good play, even though they lost to the Celtics, Spurs, Magic without Stephen Curry they are not used to play without him but that will surely change with the changing game style of Jordan Poole, and Poole is playing on an all-star level, and along with Klay Thompson, Curry is not worried when he in-out, and that injury of Stephen Curry may become a blessing in disguise he surely needs a lot of rest before the playoffs and from that standpoint, a well-rested Stephen Curry is more efficient in shooting, so the Warriors needs to learn to play without Stephen Curry until he returns on April 12.

I will surely take my time in getting up my picks and give pull picks for the jeremypwr's Multi-Master bet but for now it is really too early to give it because it will be on the next event will be on next week, and because I am sure excited I can not help but talk about what I think,

The UFC 273 will be a big event in my opinion but not because of the main event or the Co-main event when I look at the following match-ups I tend to think that UFC 273 has a secret main event and that is the fight between Gilbert Burns VS Khamzat Chimaev, sorry to say but I think this is the most anticipated fight than with the Main and the Co-main,

Because if we look at the Main event people are thinking that Alexander Volkanovski will surely beat The Korean Zombie, and with the Co-main event Petr Yan will win and finish what he has started by beating Aljamain Sterling, but with the Gilbert Burns VS Khamzat Chimaev fight, people are sure thrilled to see and it is really a question mark on who's really winning this fight, and that is why many people are so interested in this fight more than with the Main and the Co-main fight, well this is just what I think for the UFC 273, but I will surely side with Khamzat Chimaev.

The injury list is always updated and Bucks' key players are not injured. They are just pumped up last game. Game-time decision and Milwaukee Bucks decided to sit out their stars since they already clinched a playoffs spot and to have a rest. Not against the rules after all in preparation for the playoffs.

It's a trap. I know bookies know that but decided to play a game with their bettors lol. They are sometimes toying with the bettors. Bookies know internally what is happening inside the NBA and that's the challenge for the bettors, to have a good pick.

It's a bummer for them to do such things that is why I stay away from betting in today's game again just to look upon things I really think many have on their favorites and betting on the other end that has bet for the Bucks had taken away big profits it is too unpredictable for some, but I should check first the situation than always looking at the favorites and not expecting something like this could happen, but yeah this is the first time getting a pretty much 4 players of the Bucks suddenly will not play against the Clippers and I am completely not aware, I should have read the lines and look for news on what may happen, but surely just my bad luck I guess,

It gets tricky towards the end of the season when it comes to gambling predictions.  You never know which star is resting themselves to get ready for the playoffs and which teams are hungry to get meaningless wins.  There are always individual player goals that might motivate some guys without it being too well known.  Then you have guys like LeBron going for the scoring title.  It might not be a bad idea to take some long shots and hope for the best. 

I am curious if there is betting available anywhere on who will win the scoring title, or which teams will be included in the playoffs.  I'm tempted to bet against the Lakers and bet with LeBron in that scenario as I think his goal going forward is to score a lot of points and not lead his team into what would likely be a first round exit, if they won the play-in...

Tricky as it is I really need to see the full detail first and yes people to read between the lines if certain something could happen but it is easier said than done, it surely is hard to predict, and when NBA is at its climax readying for the quarter-finals, and the teams will surely be heated up with resting and letting a game lost than losing at the finals, right now I will be more of a watchful eye in giving my picks right now.

Casimero has a loud mouth. He is involved in a lot of calling out against other fighters who are perceived to be better than him. And that includes Donaire and Inoue. Not only did he call them out, I think I even heard him speak that Inoue will get knocked out by him in the first three rounds if Inoue will trade blows against him toe to toe. But to be fair to Casimero, he is a fighter and if he is given the opportunity to meet Inoue or Donaire inside the ring, he truly deserves that.

Well, part of his habit was bad-mouthing most fighters that he doesn't like or sometimes just to get hype, but I guess when he is saying this he is thinking if he can have an upper hand in the situation, for instance, I surely think he can give a great match for Naoya Inoue I sure think that he know's pretty well Naoya Inoue's capabilities or Nonito Donaire's Capabilities aswell, before jumping into conclusion, but yes if given a great opportunity he could get that title shot, but for now, I think he is just hyping that fight so the camp of Inoue would notice him.


That left hook of Donaire will be the big difference here, if he can abuse Inoue early and caught up with some big shots, maybe he will score a knock out and who knows, he had broken his orbital bone and it's possible again with that powerful left hook.

I know that Inoue is strong and fast, but Donaire's advantage is the experience and the timing. Timing beats speed in boxing, so let's see if he can land that patented left hook of his.

I really think that Donaire may become a threat because of that 1st fight they have, Nonito Donaire has the experience of fighting Naoya Inoue, and that experience sure plays a lot or has been registered in his mind and it keeps on playing and playing and I think from that point of view Donaire will have a fighting chance because that 1st fight they have is a decision match, surely that body blow of Inoue is a devastating weapon for him, but I really think Donaire is ready for it again if he can withstand it now, of have trained his body to withstand that shot, or having a double defense against it then it can become a threat to Inoue that experience and timing that you are saying, surely Naoya Inoue just got 3 decision wins and Nonito Donaire is one of the hardest fights Naoya did survive on

I would suggest to take a look on Oleynik vs Latifi fight once again. Oleynik is 44 years old, is on series of 3 loses, and is best known for submissions. While Latifi never lost by submission and his base sports is wrestling (he is actually from wrestling family). I would say there are high chances that old Oleynik dont have a strong chin after 76 fights. By the look at Oleynik, I find that he does not have that fighting spirit anymore and seeks for a calm and peaceful life, to continue doing gardening. Just my 2 cents.

Alexey Oleynik is pretty much well-known for winning most of his fights with submission of the Ezekiel choke if not with this choke a rear-naked choke would be his end takedown but mostly with the Ezekiel choke, for me, I would surely respect mostly the veteran's in this industry but in Alexey Oleynik's family life and really wants to settle down for good, I think if he wants to fight then let him, he surely knows what his capability is, and with Jared Vanderaa it seems that the fight may end up with a decision, Oleynik would surely have a hard time with the mountain, that has a wrestling background and he could hold himself with most takedowns, but Alexey Oleynik as a veteran can handle himself but for me I really want him to settle down and retire for good.

This weekend we are taking break from UFC and it's still early for making predictions for next UFC event Volkanovski vs Korean Zombie.
I have to say that I always likes Korean Zombie and he was in some amazing fights, but it's not going to be easy for him against Volkanovski.
He has only one defeat and that was long time ago in 2013, so I my early pick would be on Volkanovski but odds are unacceptably low.

It is sure early but for me, I like the Co-main and the Welterweight division fight, but will still give my picks, for the main card when the fight will be near, now will wait for certain news if the fight for Sterling or Yan could be canceled, Aljamain Sterling may evade this fight but I salute him if he will continue and prove himself that he can beat Petr Yan and that he is truly worthy to be the champion for this division, and for Petr Yan if he can get his Belt back, and that their first fight would not repeat again and Sterling winning a disqualification,

And with the Gilbert Burns VS Khamzat Chimaev, many are in favor of Chimaev, although I really like Khamzat Chimaev winning this, I surely think that he will have a hard time with Gilbert Burns, with that kind of physique but I always believe in Khamzat Chimaev's hype as I believe in Ciryl Gane's hype, I tend to always say that some hypes are just hyped on the outside but on the inside it was nothing, but with Khamzat Chimaev there is something about him that I am surely getting latch to believe that it is not just hype, although Ciryl Gane lost to Francis Ngannou, my hype for him still there, he is on the edge of getting there but kudos to Francis Ngannou that change tactics the seconds he realized that he can not take on Ciryl Gane head-on.

Odds for this game are 1.65 for the Bucks while 2.30 for the Clippers, I'm also betting on the Bucks to win this game, after covid I don't know if this factor of playing at home still works, many teams have lost even playing at home , when in the past they were very strong when playing at home, it's as if after covid this factor of playing at home doesn't make much difference

Unfortunately, Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Clippers I don't know what happen but from that game, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and Brook Lopez doesn't play against the Clippers, and I really thought that the Bucks don't have any injuries, on the said reports, the list that I have been looking at might not be updated, I am pretty sure the Milwaukee Bucks should have won that game but because of the un-updated list I have lost a bet, pretty much frustrated about my source,

Boston Celtics VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 128-123 - WIN

This is a very close match indeed, at 1st the Celtics from start to finish have to lead the game, but the Pacers are not far behind, I think it was a close match but the Pacers don't process until the game ends, Lance Stephenson has a double-double performance of 11 assist and 11 points, Oshae Brissett has 17 points and Tyrese Haliburton had made a lead points of 30, but was still not enough to Al Horford's double-double of 10 rebounds and 17 points while Jayson Tatum has 31 points and Jaylen Brown have 32 points, the questionable have played the game.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 122-114 - LOST

This game from Start to finish was the Grizzlies' lead, but the Suns are not letting the Grizzlies have a huge lead still the Sun was left behind even without Jo Morant to the team the Grizzlies have performed so well, Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee have made a great defense by both of them having 12 rebounds Mikal Bridges has 18 points and Devin Booker has a sensational performance of 41 points but it was quite not enough because of Memphis Grizzlies player have double Digits score except for Kyle Anderson's that has 6 points and Jarrett Culver that has zero, while Dillon Brooks has 30 lead points for the Grizzlies.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 119-153 - LOST

This is really sad, I should have looked until the game started I never thought that Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have injuries and can not play against the Clippers because some injury list is not updated, but I will sure look for other sites maybe ESPN would be a reliable and updated site to look for.

^  After what happened during him and Yan's last match up, there's going to be no excuse coming from Aljo.  Yan showed that he was the better fighter that night.  Losing in the rematch would only be showing something like the inevitability of the crowd being shown who the real winner of the first fight is...  If that makes any sense.

And it isn't that Volk chose the weakest opponent.  The guy is a stud and beat most of all the best in his weight class.  TKZ is a former 155'er dropping down to 145.

Aljamain Sterling can not make excuses anymore, from their last fight that was just a mistake from Petr Yan, but all advantage from their 1st fight was for Petr Yan, and yes it's not really making sense at all if Aljamain Sterling win this fight he needs to win by KO TKO or Submission, so there is no more doubt on peoples minds, right now stake.com's odds for this fight was a flat 5.00 for Sterling while 1.20 for Yan making Petr yan the likely favorite to win this fight people are treating Aljamain Sterling an a nobody and not as a real champion at all, well I can not blame them for feeling this way, because I really thought so as well that Petr yan should be champion instead of Sterling.

And right now on the news Chael Sonnen issue was pretty much getting more controversial, because in the police report that Sonnen was asleep or unconscious when the altercation occur, just because both him and his wife is taking sleeping pills and Sonnen added that he is taking Ambien and there are crazy stories that is you are taking Ambien you can do stuff that you don't realize that you are doing, because you are unconscious and subconsciously you are doing something you didn't know, this is really getting crazy I don't know if Chael Sonnen is just making an excuse and knowing about the effects of Ambien might think of an excuse this low, I really don't know about that drug but if many would just takes the blame on a drug pill then many will be acquitted.

Here are my picks for tommorows game, highlighted in green are my picks

Boston Celtics VS Indiana Pacers

Stake Odds for this game are 1.07 for the Celtics while 9.80 for the Pacers, Robert Williams III has a knee injury and can not play for the Celtics while Chris Duarte, T.J. McConnell, can not play for the Pacers, while Goga Bitadze, Malcolm Brogdon, Oshae Brissett, and Isaiah Jackson is questionable if they can play, if those 4 can't really play against the Celtics then this is a win for the Celtics, however if they can the Pacers will have a fighting chance, and this is a great time because the odds are remarkably so high for the Celtics but I would still wait for the game to start and confirms what is the status, but for this game my pick would be the Celtics.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns

Stake Odds for this game are 3.90 for the Grizzlies while 1.28 for the Suns, for now the Grizzlies injuries are Ja Morant, and Killian Tillie can not play for the Grizzlies, while Steven Adams, Tyus Jones, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. is currently questionable if they can play against the Suns while Dario Saric, and Frank Kaminsky can not play for the Suns while Iffe Lundberg, Cameron Johnson and JaVale McGee is questionable if they can play for the Suns, for me if Ja Morant can not play and if Desmond Bane can not play for the team of Grizzlies, this is going to be a Phoenix Suns, win, so my pick will be for the Suns.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake Odds for this game are 1.24 for the Bucks while 4.30 for the Clippers, right now the Bucks is pretty sure healthy while DeAndre' Bembry is out for the season, while Kawhi Leonard, Jason Preston, Norman Powell, and Brandon Boston Jr. can not play for the Clippers now this game might turn out great for the Bucks right now and they are playing at home so there will be some advantage, so my pick will be the Bucks.
