^  Somewhat of a decent event...  Main event should be good.  Co main with Williams vs Harris should be good too and there's Yanez vs Salvador, Magomedov vs Alves.  It's not a stacked card but as I keep saying...  Better than nothing.  Lol.

Here's a promo vid just to add some hype into it.  Who do you guys got for the main event?

UFC Fight Night:  Barboza vs Murphy Promo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhxKzBIl1n4

Derrick Lewis delivered big time. Despite his age and self-admitted poor cardio, he managed to pace himself well enough to make it to round 3 when he KO'd Nascimento.
It wasn't a masterclass performance by either of them but fairly entertaining. A much-needed win for Lewis, who, before that fight, had lost 4 out of the last 5 fights. Now he's back in the game, although I don't think he'll be moved up in the ranks.

To me, the biggest upset was Mateusz Rebecki's loss to Ferreira. Rebecki was a big favourite and it was his chance to break into the top 15 in the most entertaining weight-class in the UFC, but he lost by TKO in rd 3. Hope he'll bounce back as he has potential.

The thing with Lewis is even though he's gassed and tired, he could still carry the power in the later rounds.  He did it in his match vs Volkov and a couple of other guys.  So I'm not totally surprised at all.

^  Didn't Bayern Munich already have Julian Nagelsmann and they gave him the sack for some unknown reason,  It happened after it was said that he was cheating on his wife with some girl who was working as a sports journo...  Not sure if there were some shenanigans there.  But if there was, I don't think he's going back.

Hope he comes over at the EPL.  He would've been a good replacement for Klopp at LFC tbh.  He'll prolly make a good manager at United too.

Huge embarrassment from Man United getting trashed by Crystal Palace of all clubs.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Anyway the books seem to think they're going to lose vs Arsenal at home in Old Trafford, giving them a generous line of 7.20, draw no bet at 5 and double chance at 3.10.  I think these are very good lines as the match is in Old Trafford.  They won't roll over that easy in front of their own fans.

Edit:  Ooo damn...  And just like that the line fell to 6.60, 4.70 and 3.

It was a such a big disappointment for Manchester United fans. Seeing your team being that desperate must be frustrating. Plus, Manchester United have been struggling like this for years...  Sad

When it comes to the odds for the Manchester United - Arsenal match, I see some interesting differences on some websites. Arsenal have the same odds however Manchester United's varies from 7.20 to 6.40.

Maybe it isn't a big deal, I don't know.  Grin  At the end of the day, I just expect Arsenal to win this one way or another. They have to if they want to keep their chance for the PL championship.

If you're sports betting for a living then these small edges really matter imho.  I mean if you could bet some club at 7.20 then why go for 6.40?  The price gap is somewhat big.

Got a feeling Man United will spoil Arsenal's title run.  They are not gonna accept a loss at Old Trafford after a trashing from Crystal Palace.  Lol.  But in fairness to Crystal Palace, their new manager seems really good.  They have no loss since he took over from Roy Hodgson.

Here are the results for the event.  All in all it was decent.  There were a couple of quick finishes in there which makes you jump up your seat and yell.  There's just nothing like it esp the Ribovics one.

Derrick Lewis def Rodrigo Nascimento  TKO R3
Joaquin Buckley def Nursulton Ruziboev  UD
Carlos Ulberg def Alonzo Menifield  KO R1
Carlos Diego Ferreira def Mateusz Rębecki  TKO R3
Sean Woodson def Alex Caceres   Decision  UD
Waldo Cortes-Acosta def Robelis Despaigne  UD
Chase Hooper def Viacheslav Borshchev  SUB R2
Esteban Ribovics def Terrance McKinney  KO R1
Tabatha Ricci def Tecia Pennington  SD
Trey Waters def Billy Goff  UD
Charles Johnson def Jake Hadley  UD
Veronica Hardy def JJ Aldrich  UD

Here's the post fight press conference.  Haven't watched it yet but I think Dana White is in there.  Good to listen to him for what's next in the UFC.  It's always entertaining with him around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8G1YccmWNM

As for what I learned with this set of matches.  Mmm...  Jake Hadley is really not as good as they said him to be.  He's prolly be out of the UFC aftee his next match if he still has a fight left in his contract.

Chase Hooper has improved a lot.  Like a whole lot.  Can't wait to see him back in there again.

And never parlay if one of the legs is 1.60 or better.  Rebecki the pie shtter burned me for chasing the 2.  Should've just went straight with Lewis at 1.60.
45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 11, 2024, 12:13:13 PM
Hmmm...  Actually I'd rather watch Aspinall vs. Pereira than Jones vs Aspinall at this point.  But I think it's just mind games from Jones.  He wants to agitate Aspinall.  Everybody knows Aspinall is next after Miocic or if Jones keep stalling the division, he's need to vacate and the UFC will need to officially make Aspinal HW champ.  

Nah, despite all the negative things that can be said about him, Jones is still one of the best fighters the world has ever seen, so he's by far the best possible opponent for Aspinall, both from sport and money perspective. But if Jones keeps it stalling for too long, he will eventually get too old and it will just not be the same. Just like nobody is hyped to see Miocic, despite him having great record and only losing to the best etc.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we've ever seen a situation when, upon return, the original champion does not fight the interim champ but someone else instead, and still gets to keep his belt. That kind of negates the entire concept of interim belts, creating a split in the weight class where 2 belts exist in parallel.

Mmm never said he wasn't any good.  All I'm saying is sooner or later he should be stripped off the title to keep the division moving.  It shouldn't stall just for Jon Jones and knowing the UFC, if a fighter is causing something that's bad for business, they will move on.  And the funny thing is the UFC will get a lot for it from 'the fans'.  Well boohoo and if they stop being 'fans' of the UFC then good riddance.

Anyway, I think I change my mind on Buckley...  The other guy could win it.  He's way bigger than Buckley.  Cheesy Cheesy  Everybody could see it in the face off.

As far as betting goes, I'm thinking of Ricci at 1.67, Borshchev at 1.75 and Rebecki, Lewis parlay at 2. NFA.

The way Layerzero is massively farmed, I feel they will invent some new method to filter out sybils, and we we'll only know that when they publish the criteria, or if they go with something generic farmers gonna receive peanuts. I drift towards former more tho.

Also I feel, Layerzero is farming the farmers.
I did not know about Sybils, what is this exactly?

And how Sybils filter can affect airdrop farmers?

Airdrop farmers and Sybils mean same thing.

So a guy like me who uses just one wallet isn't an airdrop farmer?  And I'm not kidding.  I use just one wallet and have never tried to game these airdrops.  If I did, I would've gotten way more in Arbitrum and Wormhole airdrops.

I consider myself an airdrop farmer but not a sybil.  The correct definition of the word sybil is when someone creates multiple identities to attack a target.  In the case of airdrop farming, it's creating multiple identities to get more than your fair share from the airdrop.

Should be a really good game tonight, the neutral would want Bayern to win to set up an all German final. In that scenario I’d definitely be cheering on Dortmund, I wonder if Klopp would be in with the Dortmund fans:D

I’m not sure if fairy tales exist in football though, Real will do what Real do in this competition which is find a way to win.

But they do exist...  Grin  Study CL 2012 Final with Bayern Munich under Jupp Heynckes vs Chelsea under Di Matteo.  And just imho, I think it would be more of a fairy tale if BVB wins vs Real Madrid in final.  Looking forward to it.

What does everybody think of BVB's chances vs Real Madrid?  Could they pull of an upset?  And what do you guys think of the prop bet 'BVB to win the UCL' at 3.30?  They could win one match out of three right?

I think chances are there for any team,let me remind you of last season final where Inter almost equalized a super performing Manchester City who had just thrashed 4-0 in the semi final exactly Real Madrid.Based on this I think that Dortmund will put much more heart into the game compared to what Real players will,I am pretty sure of this.For me this final is better than Bayern vs Dortmund and will be enjoyable to watch.

Yup...  And with just one match to play for all the marbles, it's 'gg no re'.  BVB def has a chance of winning it.  And the sharps know the books opened the line too wide.  The first time I checked the lines it was BVB to win the match at 7.20 and like a minute later it was 6.60 or something.  I just checked right now and it's at 5 and could go down more as the final comes closer.

As for the ideal match up, City vs PSG would've been sick.  And both managers ex Barca managers playing that style of play.  Beautiful football...
48  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 10, 2024, 12:20:06 PM
Jon Jones' decision to come back will depend on his injury and if he feels like fighting.  The UFC could give fighters some offers, but the final say is always the fighters' decision.  So knowing Jones, he'll prolly come back at the end of the year.  Who the opponent might be is up in the air...  Hope it's not Miocic now.  All this wait just to see him vs Miocic?  Lmao, no thanks.

I've lost the track on recent heavyweight affairs. I thought the fight with Miocic got pushed back and it's a done deal. But then we have Jones asking fans on twitter who should he be fighting next (Aspinall or Alex Pereira), so I don't know.
All I know is Tom should just ignore Jones if he doesn't want to fight him, and move on. The best fight for him would be Alex Pereira if they allow him to move up, other than that, Cyril Gane could be a good fight. In the meantime, Pavlovich should get a fight or two, and if he does well, we could see Aspinall Vs Pavlovich 2.




Hmmm...  Actually I'd rather watch Aspinall vs. Pereira than Jones vs Aspinall at this point.  But I think it's just mind games from Jones.  He wants to agitate Aspinall.  Everybody knows Aspinall is next after Miocic or if Jones keep stalling the division, he's need to vacate and the UFC will need to officially make Aspinal HW champ. 

Ceremonial weigh ins will start in around 9 hours.  I can't find the YT stream for the live weigh ins...  If anybody has it please post it itt.  Thanks.

^  Yeah...  I don't really care about Jones too.  It would be cool to see him go up against Aspinall tho.  But yeah, who cares.  What I care about most is always just the next event.  I just wanna see these guys throw leather, make some bets and hopefully see the best match ups for future events.  And right now the best match ups are in the UFC.  

And if ever the best match ups start going somewhere else like the PFL and Bellator then I'm gonna go ahead and watch that.

And I have been lurking in Layer Zero's Discord server.  It looks like it's slowing down there a bit.  Maybe the guys who farmed LZ with 10 or so wallets have already accepted what's in store for them.  And that means getting just 15% of their airdrop.  That's still not a bad deal imho.  Unless LZ will pay them for just one wallet.

The problem is not that they agreed to 15%, but the problem is that no one knows from what amount these 15% will be calculated. If only you could first check on the checker what amount was accrued and then decide whether these 15% are worth making unnecessary movements.

If it were up to me and since LZ really was working with the guys at Nansen and Chaos Labs...  I would not have started the self report and get 15% thing and just straight up announce that they have a list of sybils as analyzed by Nansen and Chaos Labs then tell them that LZ is giving them their fair due but just for one wallet.  I think that would be fair and it wouldn't have the PR disaster that happened.

But what's done is done.  And it was fun tho.  LZ Discord which was mostly quiet suddenly had a lot of traffic from sybils complaining.  Cheesy Cheesy

If I'm not mistaken, there are three categories that are still very still, right? Which would be Jon Jones's and two others that I can't remember now. What are the UFC's plans to move? Will they bring Jones back?

Jon Jones' decision to come back will depend on his injury and if he feels like fighting.  The UFC could give fighters some offers, but the final say is always the fighters' decision.  So knowing Jones, he'll prolly come back at the end of the year.  Who the opponent might be is up in the air...  Hope it's not Miocic now.  All this wait just to see him vs Miocic?  Lmao, no thanks.

This seems like an interesting airdrop project, I tried to open the link you provided but unfortunately my wallet doesn't seem to be able to claim this airdrop anymore, is there another way to successfully claim this airdrop?

It is what it says, you are ineligible, you can't claim when you are ineligible (what would VPN do in this case? — referring to @Hallroom's comment above) or is it that you farmed mode network and are supposed to be eligible but are not? If it's so, ask in mode network's discord.


Lmao.  Not even after pressing F5?  Cheesy  But I heard their airdrop wasn't that good tho...  So if you really didn't get in, don't fret.  Just move on to the next one.

And I have been lurking in Layer Zero's Discord server.  It looks like it's slowing down there a bit.  Maybe the guys who farmed LZ with 10 or so wallets have already accepted what's in store for them.  And that means getting just 15% of their airdrop.  That's still not a bad deal imho.  Unless LZ will pay them for just one wallet.

I'll say this, I'll put all 10 stakes on Dortmund to win 1st leg against PSG. Not expecting it to hit, might lose the lead, not too bothered with it either way. Wishing everyone chasing the best of luck!

Haven't gotten back in this thread in a while and I noticed this post.  Lmao.  Cheesy  

Did you put all 10 stakes in the second leg too?  Would be hilarious.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Good to see BVB win it tho ngl.  

But yeah...  With PSG out and it's also looking likely that Bayern Munich will be out, Real Madrid gets it.  But I will be rooting for BVB.  Could be one of those crazy finishes of the season...  Weird that Chelsea winning the CL under RDM just popped up in my head.  Was so sure Bayern would win that night.

Anyway here's a fight replay of Ruziboev vs Dumas.  The looked solid in his first couple of matches in the UFC.  But his opponents weren't really that good. His next match up vs Buckley will show us if this guy really got the goods.  My pick is Buckley but it feels iffy.  This guy could be legit.

It will exactly be that set up.  Watch.

And his losses are vs tough guys except for the Spivak one which was sketchy.  But still no shame in losing to guys like Gane, Pav and Almeida.  The Tuivasa one was kinda sketchy too but that guy hits like a truck.
