Why 17? His record is 41 Bundesliga goals in a season (by the way, it's funny that he installed it in just 29 matches). Now he has 26 goals scored, in order to surpass this record, it is enough to score 16 more 26+16=42. Maybe you are talking about some other record or looking at other statistics?

Definitely, he just needs 16 more main goals, but well I am just adding 1 more goal to seal the deal, or in advance to a certain record or to tighten that record of his, but anyway I think he would definitely want a goal more than 16 right? And why would he Stop in a goal that just adds 1 to his record, well, I am just thinking in advance.



^ Bochum beat Bayern Munich and really showed that they are not unbeatable. But I also think that while we are saying these types of things, we all know that it was more of a band meaning having a bad day rather than Bayern Munich being a bad team. Bayern Munich took it easy and underestimated their opponent and they lived to say the tale for it.

By the way, Modeste is also on the list with 14 goals in 21 appearances. But the Bayern players seem to be always ahead of the competition.


Well, a Bad day or underestimating their opponent a loss is a loss at the end of the day no excuses, there is a lot of explanation towards what happened to the game of Bochum and Bayern and there are a lot of controversies as well because many know how Bayern Munich play and what they can do, and as for Bochum many does know how they play aswell, so many have expected the result and so does the odds, if you look at the odds, it was a landslide for the Bayern Munich,

And yes Bayern Munich is ahead of the competition, looking at their players it seems like the club really know's what they are doing and who's to add to their roster.

For those who, like me, missed the fight, you can watch it here until it's taken down. The quality of the video is not of the best, but normally you can't watch the full fight so soon in any quality. Also, as a top commenter said, "seeing the fights from this angle makes it feel like you're there live".

As it's been expected, Adesanya was fighting like dancing, beautifully and easily, taking all the hits like they were nothing to him. A well deserved victory, imo.

Thanks for the link, I sometimes search different angle videos to watch the highlights and there are some people who are uploading their own video of the fight and in a different angle just to see some strikes if they connect or not, just to judge who is in advantage,

But I totally agree with you that Adesanya was like dancing and he is moving easily inside the octagon, but Robert Whittaker has some technical strikes as well but not very effective with Adesanya if the fight was a KO/TKO there is no doubt Adesanya nearly made that win but he is playing safe against Whittaker, so the fight in my opinion was a near draw,


There was no news about it or at least I didn’t see one.  The UFC prolly thought Fiziev wasn’t ready for 5 rounds yet.  I don’t think he is too.  He slows down at R3.  But he’s in the main card of 272, so that’s good.

Yup! there is no news about any of the canceled fights however if we look at each fighters wiki we can see the details on why and when their fights are going to schedule if a fighter does have any wiki page of his own, well if Fiziev VS Dos Anjos will be on the UFC 272 and it's going to be a co-main event from the Covington VS Masvidal fight.

Johnny in his last fight just seemed very hesitant to do wild stuff like he used to. Think it might be one of those fights where he's effectively avoiding enough damage not to get hurt, but won't be scoring many points in terms of damage himself. I do agree though, if he does get clipped even a little bit, it's likely good night for him. I guess five rounds is a lot to have someone like Johnny, and Hill up against each other considering their strengths, and weaknesses.

It always depends on his team's gameplan, if he has a good coach then the game will be brilliant aswell, last time all he is doing is listen to his coaches that his attack was not effective anymore and don't have explosiveness, I know it is very important to listen to what other are saying but I think there are times that needed to pull through if the current situation arises, if he would keep on evading his opponent strike and don't counter a strike of his own then it will be another lost for Johnny Walker.

I haven't posted Yesterday so this is my yesterday result on my picks

Brooklyn Nets VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 109 - 85 - LOST

I don't know about that trade but I was shocked to see Seth Curry and Andre Drummond on the Brooklyn Nets they were traded in exchange for James Harden and Paul Millsap, and because of that the Brooklyn Nets have the advantage with the field goals, 3 pointers and mostly free throws turnovers for both team 16 for the Nets and 18 for the Kings and both players from the 76ers had done a great job supporting the Brooklyn Nets now, I lost the game for not seeing this but it was a great game.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 107 - 122 - LOST

Another lost, now Milwaukee made a trade with Los Angeles Lakers Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye to Serge Ibaka and cash, which is OK but not really enough, they have lost to the Trail Blazers big time without Giannis Antetokounmpo the Trail Blazers are showing good teamwork and effort and almost three of their player made a double-double performance, Justise Winslow with 10 Rebounds and 13 Points, Jusuf Nurkic with 16 Rebounds and 23 Points and Trendon Watford with 10 Rebounds and 9 Points almost a double-double play,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 119 - 104 - LOST

Another loss for me, I was never lucky this time around, it was a close game in the 1st half and Stephen Curry is exploding with 33 Points but it was not enough because all the points were spread to the Clippers giving most of the stat percentage to the Clippers, Fields goals, 3 pointers, and point in the paint, right now it is not a great day for me but it is OK because I will surely get this right next time.

My Picks for Today's game highlighted in green are my picks

Brooklyn Nets VS Sacramento Kings

Stake Odds for this game are 2.10 for the Nets and 1.78 for the Kings right now Kevin Durant is much needed in this game but can return on March 1 Joe Harris, Ben Simmons and now Kyrie Irving can not play against the Sacramento Kings and James Johnson is questionable if he's able to play, While the Kings have Terence Davis that has a Wrist injury and Jeremy Lamb in question if he's going to play, right now I think because of the much injury and even though James Harden is back I think he would not play in his 100% yet, so I might go with Sacramento Kings at this match.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Portland Trail Blazers

Stake Odds for this game are 1.14 for the bucks while 6.00 for the Trail Blazers, well both teams have crucial injuries on their main players Milwaukee having Brook Lopez, George Hill, Pat Connaughton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo can not play for the team while Damian Lillard, Keon Johnson, Marcos Louzada Silva, Dennis Smith Jr., and Eric Bledsoe can not play for the Trail Blazers, this is a hard decision regarding the odds difference, and the much player's injuries Trail Blazers have but for me, I am staying away from any bets regarding this match but my pick goes to the Bucks.

Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors

Stake Odds for this game 3.00 for the Clippers while 1.41 for the Warriors, while Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Jason Preston, and Norman Powell could not play for the Clippers and Luke Kennard, is in question if he can play, the Warriors have James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala, While I think the Clippers could have a great time because 3 defensive guys from the Warriors are out and can not play, the Offense of the Warriors is superb right now with Jonathan Kuminga, the Splash Brothers, Otto Porter jr, and Jordan Poole, While Kevon Looney would be in the defense I think Warriors could win this.

3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 14, 2022, 11:08:47 PM
His record is great already and almost impossible to break. If he can break it, it is not only because he plays well but because Bayern destroys Bundesliga too well. I mean to break that record, it needs multiple factors to co-occur: outstanding performance from both Bayern and Lewandowski; bad performances from other clubs in Bundesliga. Also it seems that Lewandowski already touches to his cap.

Well, let's just see if he can surely do it, there are still plenty more games on the Bundesliga, and he needs 17 more goals to break his record, and upon reviewing their recent match even though they lost to Bochum Robert Lewandowski gave Bayern 2 goals and on the Leipzig has one so basically he needs 2 goals or a goal in every game to crash his own records, but he doesn't really need to do such a thing.

Muller shines in Bayern in his very young ages and now even he is old but still well adaptive enough to play and has big contribution for Bayern. Sane is future of Bayern after the generation of Lewandowski, Mueller, Neuer, etc. He made good decision to leave Manchester City and joined Bayern because in Bayern and Bundesliga, he will have better chance in Germany squad. Bayern usually have many players in Germany national team and they are core of Germany squad. So Sane will increase his chance to be chosen in the national team.

I really like what Sane has accomplished but for me, he sure has a long way ahead of him and he might just enjoy it while at his best, Let's not forget Serge Gnabry and their new arrival Dayot Upamecano, even though he is pretty new to the team I think they would surely contribute some offense and defense to the match, in Leon Goretzka's absence that is.


Even if you look at him, he is the most goalscorer this season not only in the Bundesliga but when compared to other competitive leagues he is still quite dominating now because if we look at the current top scorer in La Liga, Benzema has only scored 17 goals, Salah in the EPL has only scored 15 goals, Ben Yedder in Ligue 14 goals and Immobile in Serie A only 19 goals.
This proves how dangerous Lewa is even though she is not a young player anymore

Well, looking at other leagues Robert Lewandowski has a total of 37 goals was pretty much a high score for a player but Lewandowski is surely one of a kind, and this is happening while he is aging from time to time, well age of 33 is really not old enough and Manuel Neuer is the older on the Bayern Munich team that is 35 of age but is in knee surgery at the moment, played a tremendous role back last season.

The guy knows how to market himself well, introducing the shoey which has definitely made him popular among fans, and the guy has started to consistency deliver. I was hoping for a Tuivasa win, however it's not like I was actually expecting it. I know how dangerous Derrick Lewis is, and he's probably the scariest in terms of knock out power, and I'm including Ngannou in that. Ngannou can be avoided quite easily if you look at some of his fights, the recent fight with Gane demonstrated he can be out maneuvered in terms of his punching ability. Though, Derrick knows how to invite pressure, and can counter punch. He's much more technical.

Curtis Blaydes or Stipe would be a nice one for Tuivasa next, I think they also make the most sense. I like Ngannou, and if he stays in the UFC I think that's better for the division, but if Tui comes up against him you can bet your money, I'll be putting a lump sum on Tui, and hoping for the best.

Tai Tuivasa really outdid what he can really do in the fight, but I really think he needs another fight just to see his technicality in things, and yes a Curtis Blaydes or Stipe Miocic could be a better one just if he has a technical way for things and not just bombarding his opponent with a barrage of punches and hope for the best, because I think he surely has a durable chin, Derrick Lewis has the punching power to make sure he drops Tuivasa but Tai Tuivasa withstand it like bulldozer going into Derrick for the kill, because if he ain't winning to a Blaydes or Miocic fight then I think he's not qualified for a Ciryl Gane or Francis Ngannou level.

^  It sucks that they rescheduled RDA vs Rafael Fiziev.  It was supposed the headliner for that weekend event instead of Walker vs Hill.  Curious how Fiziev would be in a 5 rounder.  But yeah..  Let’s how Hill does vs Walker I guess.  Hill looked really good vs Crute.  A lot of people thought Crute would win that match, including me.  Lol.  Buckley vs Alhassan could be a banger too.

I am curious why a sudden reschedule I will look on it to see why, but still, a Johnny Walker fight was really OK I guess, I think that this is one great match to watch disregarding the Rafael Dos Anjos VS Rafael Fiziev fight that I was anticipated to watch, and regarding that the list of Cancelled matches on this event was staggering,



I’m happy taking Whitaker for the line value and a little degen action in an underdog.  I just can’t not bet Whitaker at 3.40 when I know the fight would be closer than the odds.  Which it was.

In Actuality, I am for Israel Adesanya on that fight but Robert Whittaker has shown great strategy and that he can surely up his game against Adesanya and again that was pretty much an intense fight and a close match both fighters did their best and I think it was hard for the judges to score this fight since it was a tight close fight even me I was sure that Whittaker won the 4th round, but some judges gave it to Adesanya,

In the meantime, the Celtics did win from the Haws, and even though they are short on players they still manage to make a win I think you did a great job picking them, congrats .
Thanks, I manage to pick the correct team and I won my bet. So going forward, hoping that I will star building a win streak,  Grin


Game : Warriors vs Clippers.

I hate to bet aginst the Warriors but I really like to bet on the Clippers as they are an underrated team.

Clippers are +6.5 against the Warriors at home, I guess I'll pick the spread and a little bet on the moneyline, I smell an upset here.

Wish you good luck, I hope you get a winning streak this time and pick a match that you think it's going to win,

Right now the Golden State Warriors still doesn't have James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala all players are expected to be back on February 24, While the Clippers doesn't have Paul George and Kawhi Leonard for a long time now, with the addition of Jason Preston, and Norman Powell and Luke Kennard is in question if he can able to play for the Clippers, despite the issue's with injured players they still have Terance Mann, Reggie Jackson, and Ivica Zubac in the team that can surely play consistently but we can not leave out the explosiveness of the Warriors when they had Klay Thompson, and from their last 2 games it was a loss from the Jazz and Knicks, and a recent win on the Lakers if you would look at the stats it was a close match between the Knicks and the Lakers, I think this could be a close match, Stake Odds at the moment 3.05 for the Clippers and 1.40 for the Warriors, but I am still going with the Golden State Warriors.

3608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 14, 2022, 02:21:53 PM

To break the record, he needs to score 16 more goals in the remaining 12 matches. It seems to be quite a feasible task (sometimes there are hat tricks, doubles), but it may be more difficult to do this in the final stage of the championship because of the focus on the Champions League. Plus, towards the end of the season, Bayern's motivation will drop as they become champions more and more officially.
By the way, Muller seems to be playing in his own league, he has more assists than several pursuers combined.

Actually, he needs 17 more main goals to break his own record after breaking Gerd Muller's record he now needs to break his own record and that is what he needs to accomplish this season, Thomas Muller is a great asset for Bayern Munich, that was an insane dedication through assist, Leroy Sane actually has 7 assist to Muller, it goes to show how really impressive most players of the Bayern Munich team, but yeah being humiliated by Bochum seems the motivation of Bayern was pretty low and Bochum have shown other teams Bayern's weakness, but I wish this could be an eye-opener for the Bayern Munich players Lewandowski surely has a goal he wants to attain, in giving his all to make 2 goals for the team, they really need another source of that Motivation if it drops to a low state,

Leverkusen seems to have 2 players on that list and that is Moussa Diaby and Patrik Schick while Leipzig got 2 aswell and that would be Andre Silva and Christopher Nkunku giving a push, towards making goals.
3609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 14, 2022, 12:56:40 PM
right now Schalke is playing against Düsseldorf (1-0 currently) and Hannover vs Darmstadt (1-1 currently)
If it stays like this we would have the Top5 teams within 1 point distance  Grin

the games are now over and neither of the two clubs could win their game.
schalke 04 lost the game in düsseldorf with 1-2 and darmsatdt 98 played 2-2 at hannover 96. so there is only one point difference between the first 4 places - the fifth place (schalke 04) is already 4 points behind a direct promotion place.

Dusseldorf VS Schalke is a close match if you would look at the game stats pretty much all percentages are pretty close but if we look at Shot on target we can see that Dusseldorf have 5 while Schalke have 4 a really close match, in my opinion, I really though Schalke could win this game yes luck from making the goal have gone to Dusseldorf making Schalke stays behind the 5th position of the standings,

The big winners of this game day clearly were Pauli, Bremen and Hamburg. All clubs from the North of Germany so to say Wink

Anyway, Darmstadt is showing some nerves now even though they looked very strong all the weeks before. Anyway, it is crazy how close the table still is. I said that before, but this is probably one of the most interesting constellations soccer has right now when the first six teams are so close to each other.

So close any team could make it to the 1st position of the standings, but then again, it is hard to predict are now who's going to be champion, because any of the teams in the 6th place could certainly do it, but right now St. Pauli have regained their number 1 spot, and Werder right now has landed themselves to the 2nd position, my choice to win as champion could be Werder, but certainly, this is really a hard discussion pertaining to the clubs on the 6th positions.


Yes but in a situation like this even when there is no "top" game, they are all playing against each other as everyone has to win their games or they slowly fall behind. It is an interesting situation I would say, but it has been like that in the 2. Bundesliga for years now. There is almost never a team that is leading by 10 points or so after 25 game days.

That would be on the 1st Division, and I think that is what differs between the two, the 1st Division is exciting when a weaker team beat the team on the top, and on the 2nd Division you can not predict any teams that could win or make it to the top, I love Bundesliga the way they were now, and the excitement really stays that way, but it is just a long wait for the next game to happen because right now events have a 1-week interval but it is still OK teams needs a certain rest to perform well.

3610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why a single bet is better than a multi bet. on: February 14, 2022, 11:22:54 AM
Thank you for the detailed comparison of multi bets vs single bets. I haven't been using many multiple bets myself and never really thought about the edge of the bookmaker. The only time I use them is when they are free as part of a promotion from the bookmaker. My problem is that usually one leg of the bet is a loss, so I never made money from multi bets. That's probably why I try to stay away from then. Better to make 4-5 independent bets and get paid 3 times than losing all the money. For really experienced gamblers the multi bet might be an opportunity to make more profit, because you need less capital for the same payout. But for the average gambler I agree with you, it's best to stick to the single bets.

I also consider not using Multi bets, if I am not sure who's going to win, but yes it is a great thing to make a lot of money in just 1 game, but it is not advisable for new gamblers if they don't have any experience in betting at all, and not advisable aswell to bettors that usually don't have enough money to gain money in a multi-bet always takes precaution in using it, and I always prefer using single bets myself, but this kind of betting is surely not for everyone, but anyone can always try it if they are really familiar with the available games, but certainly I am only using it if I am comfortable with the given events or games.
3611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 14, 2022, 09:12:09 AM
indeed, the previous loss of Bayern actually was really surprising. We wouldn't expect that they would lose 2 goals from one of the small clubs. And this really reduces the domination of Bayern so far in the first standing. Additionally, the victory of Dortmund from Union Berlin really add the point and reduce the gaps of points to Bayern. The Bundesliga seems to be more interesting again right now.
When we look at the Munchen stat there are have 2 red crosses, one of them in the match 5 weeks ago, this means not for this time only they have lost versus a weak team, maybe the strategy is much enough strong for the strong team too but very weak for the weak team also. Even though they lost 3 points, they still have 6 different points with Dortmund, I believe is not much change, Munchen is a team very dominated, they are very solid not for Bundesliga only but for Europe even the world.


That was from the game with Monchengladbach it was a close game and the score was 1 - 2 it was another lucky winner for a weak team to win against Bayern, and well, Bayern Munich can remain on the top for a while because of points difference they have a lead, but for how much longer, if they keep on getting humiliated by weak teams, this didn't happen just now it happens in their recent matches as well, On Augsburg on November 20, Eintracht Frankfurt on October 3, Monchengladbach Draw on August 14, Monchengladbach on July 29, and Koln on July 17, I will be stopping from here because this is just an example of how not consistent Bayern could win all the time and still can be beaten by low standing teams, we can not say weak teams because they can still do something like that or giving Bayern a Hard time with their game if this continues Dortmund would eventually overtake their spot.


Imho, Munich would even be the favored team if Dortmund were currently a few points ahead of them. 6 points is impossible for Dortmund to catch up. We would need a very exceptional situation for the tides to turn (Like a win streak of Dortmund AND more unstable results by Bayern)
The quotes reflect this, they are still at Bayern = 1.01, Dortmund = ~20-30

Bayern is still on top so there is no way for Dortmund to take that opportunity in just 1 lost game Bayern, would need a consistent losing streak but Dortmund on the other hand will need to keep the pace on winning if they would want that 1st place, but just like what I have said I really think it was just Luck for Bochum in winning a game on Bayern Munich, Monchengladbach have multiple wins over Bayern Munich right now if you look at the recent match of Monchengladbach and Bayern in the past, but I doubt for Dortmund to overtake Bayern that easily they would need a miracle to keep the Bayern at bay, and for them to overtake.

congrats @YuginKadoya, that was a 'PROFIT". Smiley

My early pick.

Game : Hawks vs Celtics.

Trae Young is listed probable this Sunday,
https://www.numberfire.com/nba/player-news/192108/trae-young-hip-probable-for-atlanta-on-sunday

However, the spread is strange, I think Celtics will continue their win streak and they'll beat the Hawks and cover the spread.
I'm with a team with a great momentum, so I'm sticking with my instinct.

Thanks, stadus, I was really lucky from that picks, but 1 just got out of hand well, you can surely never get all the picks correct but it was still a remarkable game to watch, and I really enjoy all of it, well I was on break for the 2 games today because I was out of town, but will give my picks for tomorrows game later,

In the meantime, the Celtics did win from the Haws, and even though they are short on players they still manage to make a win I think you did a great job picking them, congrats Trae Young did play and have an amazing performance once again with a double-double 10 Assists, and 30 Points with Bogdan Bogdanovic 26 points, but it is still not enough to win because Celtics Jayson Tatum has crush Trae Youngs Double-double with his own double-double of 10 Rebounds and 38 Points with Robert Williams III own double-double aswell 14 Rebounds and 10 Points that led a close Boston Celtic to win.

I couldn't get on the Celtics train early but I guess it's a blessing in disguise, Celtics are currently having a hard time against Hawks, Trailing by 10 points with around 3' left in the first half, and Trae Young have being the mastermind behind the problem they're facing.

I'll ride on the Timberwolves -6.5 , I've also got Under 240 Total points should incase Timberwolves decide to go cold for the night.

It was really not an easy game for the Boston Celtics, Trae Young is a lot of problem for any team the Hawks have faced, but again have come around and I think Jayson Tatum was the real deal giving a double-double play aswell to counter Trae Young, it was a struggle and a close match win for the Boston Celtics and it is enjoyable to watch even though it was just a highlight

Israel Adasenya fought really brilliantly, she knew what her opponent could do, she was really well prepared for this, she lost very little effort while winning this match, adesanya was breathing through her nose even at the end of the match, she didn't look tired at all. Whitteaker was much more efficient than his first match, he was afraid of taking a counter punch no matter what, he somehow reduced the distance and threw punches, but he could not tie it back, likewise, he was successful in the takedown attempts, but he could not continue it, it was a good fight, congratulations to both fighters.

Yep! he sure fought brilliantly and surely uses his advantage over Whittaker and that is his reach although Robert Whittaker got some upgrades on his own kudos to his counter shots and takedowns, not all the time it seems very effective against Adesanya even though there is some takedown that has connected not all the time because of Adesanya's takedown defense, I could really say it was a close round, Robert Whittaker could also win this at some point but that is just my opinion because it was really a close match, but the result goes to the judges and they have seen Israel Adesanya as the winner, but I could have added Robert Whittaker's submission and got Adesanya from behind getting ready for a choke but it was not recorded with the judge's criteria but I should say I am for Israel Adesanya here but I don't really want to get bias and one-sided with the way Robert Whittaker performs, because he had done a great job as well, and hopefully we could see another rematch for this fight.

Tuivasa has quickly become one of my favourite fighters in the UFC. The thing I love about him is, even when he's getting absolutely battered, as he was by Lewis multiple times in that first round, he basically just bites down on his mouth guard, and swings for the heavens. I love that about him, and very rarely do you see that nitty, and gritty response. Usually, fighters try to duck their way out of it, get away, and then reset. Tui just goes for it, and while it definitely isn't always going to work in his benefit, it is entertaining to watch.

Seems a good guy outside of the UFC too, and isn't afraid to have a bit of a laugh. Adesanya did what he needed too, but to be honest I wasn't convinced he won that by the margin that some people think he did. I thought going in the final round there was an argument for it to be 2-2. Whittaker definitely could have taken that if he just took a few more risks every so often.

Tuivasa become my favorite aswell after this fight, I have bet for Derrick Lewis but we can not ignore the durability and strength of Tai Tuivasa from getting a win over Lewis, that was 1 awesome fight, and that exchange of blows really have gotten the black beast stun, and I think he has respected this young fighter's power I think Tai Tuivasa could surely go beyond a long way longer than Derrick Lewis, I don't want to say Lewis to just retire after this fight but I would like to see a rematch or Another fight from Tai Tuivasa to solidifies this win maybe against Jairzinho Rozenstruik, or Curtis Blaydes or Stipe Miocic because that is one shocking win from Tai Tuivasa, you can see speed, power and durability on this fighter to really get into the top.
3614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 14, 2022, 05:09:42 AM
It was a really awkward weekend. Bayern Munich caused this awkwardness by losing to Bochum 4-2. I have no idea about how it happened but Bochum turned the game around against them in the best way they would ever be able to do. This created another chance for Dortmund to get closer to Bayern Munich again in the standings. And Dortmund took advantage of this by beating Union Berlin today. It was a very clean 3-0 victory and they are six points behind Bayern Munich once more now. But if this goes on and on like this, Bayern Munich would still become the champions.

This is the 1st time in 18 years said Kay Murray a reporter from ESPN, It was a humiliation that has happened, and those lucky enough risking to bet for  Bochum would surely gained big payment and profit, this is a big win for Bochum and if you would say that this is a lucky win for Bochum because this is not really expected by many, and who would expect to bet for Bochum if the risk is high and Bayern is their opponent, and if we look at their statistics Bayern Munich have taken them all, from ball Possession, Passes, pass accuracy, and Shots although shot on target was really near having 5 for bayern and 6 for Bochum and Bayern having just 7 fouls while Bochum got 13, Bochum Managed to full out a momentum and win the game against Bayern Munich,

Today's match between Dortmund and Bayern was beyond my expectations.
I failed in these two bets and it was quite a loss, I bet on Union and Bayern but they lost badly and this was totally beyond my prediction.
How can Bayern lose by a score that is quite decisive after their start of slaughter in their first game against this team.
Fortunately Leverkusen as I expected this week at least it was a consolation for my defeat

Well, we can not surely predict the future, I am not expecting Bayern to lose on Bochum as well but this kind of thing really happen unexpectedly, and I think this is just a lucky win for Bochum if you look at the game stats it was clearly a Bayern win they are more aggressive and explosive but the shot on target was pretty much on Bochum side, that is why I think this is just a lucky win against Bayern,

The game between Union Berlin and Dortmund, I am really expecting Dortmund to win that game even though they don't have Erling Haaland to play against Union Berlin the team managed to hang on and win a game even though they don't have Haaland, this means the team is not really relying on Erling Haaland that much, I think what Union Berlin don't have right now was Andreas Voglsammer and Niko Gießelmann two of Union Berlin key players even though they had Taiwo Awoniyi and Max Kruse it was not enough to the solidness of Marco Reus and Raphael Guerreiro have.

The Result with the February 12 games pretty much I was lucky.

RB Leipzig VS Koln GOALS 3 - 1 - WIN

Just like what I have said, Leipzig against Bayern did a tremendous job making Bayern struggle in scoring while Koln can not do a thing against Bayern, Tim Lemperle scored for Koln while Angelino, Dani Olmo, and Christopher Nkunku Scored for Leipzig, making the game 3 - 1 making Leipzig winner for this match, I surely did a huge feeling that the probability for Leipzig may win against Koln is very high.

VfL Bochum VS Bayern GOALS 4 - 2 - LOST

Now, this is unexpected I never realized that Bochum could win this and with this kind of result many are sure that Bayern could win this, but it end up in a tragic way, because many did bet for Bayern, and congrats to the people that have made a bet with Bochum win, it was really even though Bayern have most numbers in the team stat for the game,

Monchengladbach VS Augsburg GOALS 4 - 2 - WIN

All we can think of is that this is A great game, and this is my Answer to what may be the group chat, the game had ended with Leverkusen winning, sometimes it has high risk in Leverkusen but this is all I can think of Leverkusen have won the latest thinks he has.

The result of the UFC 271 was an amazing event and pretty much I was shocked by some results but it was worth it.

Israel Adesanya VS Robert Whittaker - WIN

It was a genius fight, Robert Whittaker doesn't stand a chance from the distance because Izzy is giving him leg kicks from the distance, and Whittaker is not checking on them or having any defense at all from Adesanya's leg kicks, and because of Israel Adesanya's reach this is 100% possible and effective against Whittaker, but still kudos to Robert Whittaker you can see that he improves his boxing, But it is not enough even though there are takedown attempts for Whittaker this kind of game plan is not effective against Adesanya because Israel Adesanya has pretty good takedown defense.

Derrick Lewis VS Tai Tuivasa - LOST

Derrick Lewis has a lot of fans cheering for him you can surely hear from outside the ring But Tai Tuivasa that leg kick was respected by Lewis, and when Tuivasa would pretty much Give a faint Leg Kick on Lewis and then a fast charge on Lewis giving him knee's while holding Lewis from the cage, kudos to Derrick Lewis high kicks and from that he has landed a big punch on Tuivasa but was held by him but a huge takedown from Lewis and the beast was on top and that exchange of punches I though that Tai Tuivasa wouldn't going to counter that but he has proven that he has a sturdy chin that is pretty much a good exchange of punches, Tai Tauvasa has the speed and the toughness to withstand blows from Derrick Lewis kudos to that if Lewis would deliver his strikes Tuivasa would counter and exchanges of blows would occur, for me, it was an intense fight Derrick lewis was pretty much hurt and becomes wobbly from that exchange it was a great win for Tuivasa, I was really shock, Tai Tuivasa has a durable and tough chin in my opinion.

This is the Result of my pick to today,


New Orleans Pelicans VS San Antonio Spurs SCORE 114 - 124 - LOST

Well, my luck was not expected during this game sadly the Spurs was really superb from start to finish, they got the most 3 point shots, the most field goal percentage, and have fewer turnovers than the Pelicans, with just 5 Turnovers and Pelicans with 15, well even though CJ McCollum has a double-double 11 Rebounds and 36 points and Jonas Valanciunas has 12 Rebounds and 17 points it was not enough with Spurs decent spread with their points and Dejounte Murray's own double-double almost a Triple-double 7 Rebounds, 12 Assists, and 31 Points, I have lost this bet but it was a great game.


Charlotte Hornets VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 118 - 125 - WIN

It was the 1st half lead that make the Memphis Grizzlies win over the Hornets, we can see from the game stats that the Grizzlies certainly have the advantage over the field goals and 3 points percentage, and with the points on the paint, Grizzlies have to lead the game, even though they have 17 turnovers and Hornets have 16 then still have a much bigger percentage throughout the game.

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 115 - 111 - WIN

the Miami Heat might be struggling in the first half but they have lead in the 2nd half winning this game, Kyrie Irving had done tremendously with Cameron Thomas, and with a double-double play of Day'Ron Sharpe, it was really not enough in the determination of the Miami Heat, it was real teamwork that has gone the Heat from winning this, and Bam Adebayo's Double-double play, Even though the Heat's Turnover was 15 and the Nets only has 8 they have won most of the game stat percentages,


Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 117 - 115 - WIN

Another win for the Golden State Warriors over the Lakers even though Lebron James got the double-double to play it was not enough with Kevon Looney's 12 Rebounds, Stephen Curry's shots, and the game-changer for the Warriors Klay Thompson's awesome performance, that lead the Warriors to a victory, but yeah it was really a close game and I can not stay on my seat while watching this game.

my picks for the upcoming fight for the UFC 271 highlighted in green are my picks

Israel Adesanya VS Robert Whittaker

Stake Odds for this fight are 1.36 for Israel Adesanya, While 3.50 for Robert Whittaker, this rematch is the anticipated fight, they surely think that Robert Whittaker is going to take care of Adesanya with his wrestling but with the Odds result I think many are still in favor with Israel Adesanya, In my opinion, Israel can still take on Robert Whittaker, even though Robert Whittaker would practice his wrestling I think Adesanya is more mobile with his movement and has high takedown defense and I think Robert Whittaker would have a hard time with Adesanya with their weight and reach I think he can not wrestle Adensanya so I will still stick with Israel Adesanya,

Derrick Lewis VS Tai Tuivasa

Stake Odds for this fight 1.56 for Lewis while Tuivasa is 2.65, right now I think this may be a close fight and many bettors are still thinking about the potential of Tuivasa but I think Derrick Lewis has the advantage with his experience so I may go with Derrick Lewis and I guess his recent loss to Ciryl Gane have opened him to know his weakness and I think he is taking care of that weakness, I really think that both fighters have the strength to knock out each other but I am much confident on Derrick Lewis's strength, so I will go with Derrick Lewis with these ones.

This is my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

New Orleans Pelicans VS San Antonio Spurs

The Stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Pelicans while 2.60 for the Spurs, while Kira Lewis Jr. is out for the season for the Pelicans, Larry Nance Jr., and Zion Williamson can not play against the Spurs while Tomas Satoransky, Goran Dragic, Romeo Langford, Keita Bates-Diop, and Josh Richardson that is why I think that the Pelicans have a chance to win this I just got the feeling right now their main players are more complete than the Spurs, so I'm checking my luck with the Pelicans.

Charlotte Hornets VS Memphis Grizzlies

The Stake odds for this game are 3.65 for the Hornets while 1.30 for the Grizzlies, and the Hornets Injuries are Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin, and Jalen McDaniels, while the Grizzlies have Dillon Brooks, Yves Pons, Killian Tillie, and Xavier Tillman can not play for the Grizzlies, This is kind of may become a one-sided game, but I think the Hornets can pull miracle but I am having my doubts so I will go with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets

Stake Odds for this game are 1.14 for the Heat while 6.00 for the Nets Victor Oladipo and Markieff Morris are not able to play for the Heat, P.J. Tucker, Tyler Herro, and Caleb Martin are in question if they can play, while the Nets they still don't have Kevin Durant, and James Harden, can not still play, right now it is not advisable to bet for the Brooklyn Nets because of the odds difference, and right now I really think Kyrie Irving is pushing himself right now for almost 2 games now so I think we can not rely on him this time so my pick would be the Miami Heat.

Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers

Stake Odds for this game are 1.35 for the Warriors while 3.35 for the Lakers James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala still can not play for the Warriors while the Lakers have a distinct problem with the players because right now Kendrick Nunn and Carmelo Anthony can not play for the Lakers while Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, and Lebron James are questionable to play I think there is an explanation why the odds are too great for the Warriors right now even if the questionable player would play they may still not in their 100% performance so I am going with the Warriors.

3620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 12, 2022, 12:41:15 AM

Stamina is an issue in HW as a whole. And yes, there were outliers like DC, but he came from a wrestling background and that gave him a good headstart on that front. Especially with that American Kickboxing dirty boxing/clinch strategy, just imagine someone that big leaning on you all the time, it just takes a lot out of you. Ngannou has improved drastically, I have to give him credit for that, he learned so much from the first Miočić fight, but also, his opposition was predominately willing to strike with him not giving him to worry much when it comes to wrestling or even clinching (Aside from a couple of tries here or there, and don't even get me started on Cain, he was waaaaaaaay over the hill when he fought Francis).

Well, it is an issue as a whole in the UFC as well but certainly, wrestling is a whole way high level to burn that stamina than striking that is why yes kudos to the man Francis Ngannou for taking a big leap with his ground game and training with wrestling will surely give him a good boost with his cardio, but as he has said he doesn't want to result in such things because he wants a Knockout win, and this is his first decision win, and because of his injuries that is why he resulted to clinching more often and there is no explosiveness in his part, that is why Ciryl Gane is so surprised in Ngannou's change of pace, he surely learns a lot from that lost on Stipe Miocic.


He could try but it would be hard for him to take Adesanya down imho.  Whitaker is shorter and Adesanya prolly has a tad bit more weight in him at fight day.  Vettori had a hard time taking him down.  And Blachowicz is a 205’er so it’s not a good comparison for Whitaker.

Anyway...  The weigh in show is live now.  Let’s see how these guys look on the scale.

UFC 271:  Live Weigh In Show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAv3rlZKB4s

That is a good point weight will surely give a hard time for Whittaker resulting in only wrestling, I think Vettori had a hard time because he can't keep up with Adesanya's speed and constantly evading all possible takedowns that Vettori has executed, but yeah there is some point that he is having a hard time taking Adesanya to the mat and yes you got a point that we should not compare Whittaker more in the recent Adensanya have faced, and there are a lot of a difference regarding their height and reach aswell.
