^  It was intense during the first couple of laps when they has opportunities to fight for higher places on the grid..  But when everything has settled and towards the end, you kinda notice the drivers weren’t pushing as much anymore.  I think Vettel could haved pushed more and get Alonso’s spot.

Edit:  Sprint race results.  I kinda like this new format.

Did you guys see Viera at the weigh ins?  I’m not really sure if he looks like that at every weigh in but he didn’t look good in this weigh in.  He could prolly gas out again, like the last time vs Anthony Hernandez.  Stoltzfus’ line is at 2.90..  Seems value considering the read.  If it’s accurate that is. 

^  ^  Go Vettel!  


Good call on Norris to be on the podium lean.  He was looking good at FP1 and obv finished ahead of Hamilton.  I think the line for that was 3.8 or something close at Stake. 

Anyway Q1 rn.  Anybody watching?

^  They could’ve just copied the livery of the old Benneton car or the old silver McLaren or something.

So anyway, after FP1 right now, it’s going be qualifying for the race itself, or is it going to be the qualifying for the sprint race to which will be also the qualifying for the race itself?

The person who was in charge of that concept car’s livery is prolly somebody from the LGBTQ community.    Rainbows all around.  Rofl.

Anyway, just a tad over 30 mins before practice then qualifying a couple of hours later guys.  I think I’m liking this new format more...  I’ll actually be watching the practice session. 

I don’t see Sportsbet.io around.  It could be at least be rated a ‘C’ itt.  IMHO.  They’ve been making huge moves in terms of marketing and promotion outside the confines of BCT.  Stake is another one doing huge move and should at least be a ‘B’.  IMHO.

FJ deserves to rank up a notch too.

^  Def support to have some UFC for Jackmate Fantasy!  I’ve been asking a couple of books to look into it...  FJ can even copy the format they do in Draft Kings.  It’s so much simpler than to implement than football.  I’m pretty sure with enough marketing and to spread awareness, lots of people would play. 

^  There’s like 6 matches in this event that could potentially end in an upset but no way it’s Makhachev vs Moises imho.  I think Makhachev inside the distance at 2.50 could be the play here...  Another fun way to bet this is Makhachev win and what round.  Rounds 3, 4 and 5 are lined at 12, 15 and 21 at some fiat books.  Crypto books are usually late in opening props.

^  Uuuh you’re saying, almost shilling, the hype will drive the price much higher then say it’s not the point.  Why mention the hype in the first place?

And how can we use Monero if we don’t buy Monero?  And what’s really happening here is what Fluffy said years ago.  It’s beta vs VHS.  Beta was the superior tech but everybody used VHS cos it had more marketing behind it and the companies that mattered in that space all supported it.

Check it out.  It’s looking more beautiful by the day.  Would you guys buy into this now or wait for a correction?  It looks like iit’s ready for a break out followed by a big move going up.

Just keep it simple and use optics.  What do your eyes see?

Whatever you do, don’t look at the monthly chart.  -_-

It’s really looking close in entering another long bear market.  The weekly isn’t that much better too.  The daily chart looks like it has some hope tho...  Lol.  Which I find odd.

And I’m surprised there’s only 64 people who voted.  Seems like there’s like a hundred people itt.

A couple might accept BTC.  But it isn’t the same as the crypto sports betting sites we’re used to.  These old school books accept BTC as a medium for transfers and converts your BTC into USD or EUR.  Which is fine if you’re betting small.  And BTC’s price seem to be starting to trend down so...  It’s all good.

60m GBP for a defender with just one year left in his contract?  What a crazy transfer market still.  I mean for a good striker, sure...  But for a defender?  I thought everything would cool down after covid.  Player agents must be making bank these days.  Lol.

Is he even highly rated at Real?

Chalky card but most of the favorites in these matches don’t look parlayable except for Khabib protoge, Makhachev and maybe Daniel Rodriguez cos his opponent took the fight on short notice.  Gamrot will probably win but Stephens is a test, Viera is a gasser and I don’t trust Nascimento after fight with Daukas.

^  Yup...  And Russell to snatch a points finish and Norris to be in the Podium.  It’s their home race.  It can’t end any better than that.   

But I really do feel like Russell could push it a tad more and get a points finish.  It’s at 2.25 at Stake rn.  Not sure how much at the other books.  Norris top 3 at 3.8.  Value?

Points finish for George Russell at 2.25 at Stake.  There could be better lines out there if you shop around tho.  Anyway, Russell could push it a tad more since it’s his home race.  I really thought he’d get them at Austria.  But no...  10th time’s the charm. 

I think fans are  gonna like the sprints more and start to really have some interest in watching the practice sessions.  I kinda tend to avoid watching tbh.

And did you notice Southgate brought two Man United players in the last minute just to be the ones to take those penalties?  If there was politics behind that decision Southgate deserves to lose the whole thing.  It’s just too bad for the fans.  Southgate should’ve picked Sterling and Stones.  Lolol.  

At the end of the summer transfer window, I’ll be listing the top 30 transfers or so by amount and let’s see who pops and who flops at the end of the 2021/22 season across all leagues in Europe.  

Let’s see which player’s transfer market value goes up and which ones go down.  Should be fun.  Kinda like watching the crypto market...  Maybe we could even do some side bets or some sort of prediction game out of it.

Yup..  We exactly have the same thoughts.  But to Southgate’s credit, he did say in one interview that it was on him.  But still, the damage is done.  Poor Saka.  I feel for him the most.  He’s too young to be placed in a tough spot like that.

Anyway been hearing some news swirling around of racial abuse cos those poor guys missed their pens.  That’s just sad.

The last two subs were for the purpose of those two guys to take the penalty.  They weren’t properly warmed up and they haven’t really been ‘acclimated’ to the match.  It would’ve been way better to let Sterling or Shaw take them.  Guys who were actually on the pitch for a good 30 minutes.
