Oh...  But I did!  I just couldn’t help myself.  Rofl. 

Anyway, I think some lines that could have some value could be  the ‘who finishes with points’ market aka the top 10.  I think Alonso was lined at 5 or something.  It’s looking like the teams to finish with points consistently are Merc, RBR, McLaren, Ferrari and Alpine. 

^  It was a decent card... Brown vs Kamaka was a banger and so were Merab vs Stamann and Cutelaba vs Jacoby even though they went to decision.

The main and the co main were great as expected.  But I didn’t expect Chikadze to finish Swanson so quick...  with a liver shot.  Lol.  The under 2.5 rounds had decent value at 2.65.

^  Nice.  Congrats tomahawk.  First round’s on you. 

I’m watching Newcastle vs the Gunners right now...  Not sure why I thought half time draw was such a good bet for this one.  Lol.  NUFC is down a goal and no chance of getting one in by the looks of it. 

What does everyone think of this bet:  Russell to finish with points (to finish top 10) priced at 2.85.  He said that he’s going to push really hard to get a point during an interview. 

Value or could be better?

^  Aguero still has it.  I wish Pep would let him play in the more important matches for the club even if it’s just as a sub.  But a super sub.    It’s always good to have a player of his calibre in Pep’s back pocket just in case the team needs to get out of a rut.  Kinda like how Drogba was in his last couple of years with Chelsea.

Anybody still holding their SXP bags?    It’s one of the coins that got left behind but by the looks of it this week, it’s gonna be its turn to go way past its ath.  Some respected traders seem to see this go to 50 USD...  I wouldn’t have thought it would be possible a couple of months ago but seeing how it was bought up this week, it’s very possible...  

And the funny thing is it hasn’t even gone parabolic yet.

Is it just me or does Aguero look fat out there.  Lol.  I’m not sure if it’s my stream or what but the rest of the players look fine.  I mean seriously, he looks stocky and his legs look bigger than they did before.  

And it’s pretty interesting Pep played him at the no. 10 role with Jesus up front leading the attack.

^  For football?  I don’t think so.  Guys like Ibra and a couple others are def the exception imho.  They’re freak athletes who could push it for more years past their prime than most players.  Ronaldo is another freak athlete.  

Found what could be a value bet for Starcraft/Broodwar.  Rush vs Sorry next Tuesday.  Sorry at 2.45 is a pretty good spot imho.  Rush is known to suck at Terran vs Terran match ups and Sorry did really good in his group of 24 matches finishing first in his group.

Edit:  Looking at Rush’s offline results, he could be improving...

Yup it better be.  I don’t mind both EPL clubs there tho. 

And if City goes to the final, I’m going to say it again:  We should see Aguero play, esp if it’s vs Real Madrid.  I think they’ll need a pure striker in Aguero up there leading the attack than a false 9 in KDB.

I made bet that Kimi Raikonnen will win ‘group 3’ in qualifying.  I didn’t think that Williams would have the pace.  But looking at both FP1 and FP2, it looks like I’m throwing my money away again.  Lol.  That former WRC VW super team working on the Williams could be legit.

^  They both do.  Vettori could use the same strategy as Blackowicz did.  Get Adesanya working and a little tired then wrestle and take him down.  Adesanya has nothing on his back.  And don’t forget that Vettori already fought Adesanya to a close decision a couple of years ago.

Kimi Raikonnen winning at group 3 in quali priced at 3.1 seems like value.  Need some inputs from you guys before making the bet and while FP1 hasn’t started.  Both Williams finishing above him at the last quali seems like an anomaly and flukish to me.  What do you guys think?

^  Wtf.  Luck?  That was a screamer by Mahrez.  Did you see the ball get past the wall?  It was brilliant!

Edit:  Wow that red card..  He could end somebody’s football career doing that.  PSG is breaking down.  They crumbled right after Mahrez’s goal.  

^  PSG is owning them everywhere!  And from the looks of it, Poch is taking something from Klopp’s playbook...  Blocking passing lanes and making it hard for City to start the play from the back as they always do.

Time to unleash El Kun!!!

It’s hard to get a read on which side wins this one but I feel like it’s going to be BTTS and the over 2.5 goals.  I got it just now at 1.97.  It’s not much value but I think it’s more than 50/50 to happen.  I think...  I suck at these btw.

Nice to see Aguero on the bench.  Hope he comes in ftw. 

^  No way any athlete is coming back from an injury like that at 37 years old.  And he was due to retire or at least his UFC contract not renewed if he lost vs Akhmedov.  But he won.  I bet against him that time.  Lol.    But yeah...  Weidman has become a low level gate keeper as of late.

Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag is the new favorite to be the next Spurs manager after Nagelsmann was earmarked to be next Bayern manager.  Other than seeing him beat Real Madrid at the KO stage of the CL a couple or so years ago and beating Juve at the quarter finals, I really don’t know much about him.  He any good?

Sarri, Rodgers and Nuno are among the top favorites according to the bookies...  I kinda like Eddie Howe to be next Spurs manager.  He’s due to manage a bigger club.

It’s funny to me seeing how Hazard is such a flop at Real and he’s wearing the ‘number 7’.  I wish he never have left Chelsea.
