I’m pretty disappointed not seeing Aguero in the line up.  He’s not even in the sub roster.  He’s not injured anymore afaik.  Maybe Pep is saving him for the CL second leg vs BVB? 

Anyway, got City to win HT/FT at 1.93 and Silva to score a goal at 4.70.  Let’s gooo!

One good thing about the whole MobileCoin thing is XMR could be in the spotlight again.

Anyway, we got XMR starting to trend back up real nicely against BTC after it had bottomed out at the beginning of the year a tad below .0035. That’s all I care about rn.  What’s done is done.  Signal can go scam themselves.

^  I think Pep already said City can’t afford the asking price for Haaland.  Club revenues are down all across Europe and everywhere really.  I think they’re gonna give Aguero one more year.  But there are rumors swirling around that Leeds United is interested in acquiring him.  I wouldn’t mind seeing that.  It would be a delight watching him spearhead a Bielsa squad.  Aguero would be a huge upgrade for Bamford despite his age.

I was also fancying Sam Alves this week, but I'm not so sure looking at his previous fights. He tends to get knocked out against some of the bigger fighters. The man definitely has a lot of heart though, and his opponent definitely hasn't covered himself with glory recently.

I'm also fancying Jack Shore, and Arnold Allen this week. I'll look at the rest of the fights in more detail in the next few days.

My lean on Alvey is more of a fade on Marquez than anything.  Alvey has better cardio and has more pop behind his punches.  But might stay away..  Alvey moved down to 185 from 205.  That’s 20 lbs.

And of course you’re fancying Jack Shore.  Wink 

And my fight of the night, Khizriev vs Daukas has been cancelled due to covid protocols.  Sucks.  Anyway...  The dogs are barking in this card.

TL;DR: "If you want a premined, centralized coin that censors transactions, with security assumptions reliant on Intel, and which makes a bunch of VCs rich, then use MobileCoin."

The sad part is Signal, being part of the open source movement and the whole fighting for our online privacy thing, is using it for their own app.  And the sadder part is people outside the space will think it’s the coolest thing to happen for Signal users.  I mean wow...  Talk about a sell out.

Small rumor for the 2025 year.
Engines are now frozen till 2024 so they will use these engines till then.

After that, they are now thinking about using biofuels and increasing the energy regeneration from batteries, and to create more energy they are now thinking to change cars to 4x4 cars.

The decision will be fast during this summer.

I don't know what to think about 4x4cars Huh

I don’t know what to think of them.  But I’m pretty sure some F1 purists want to let it stay as it was.  If anything, going back to the screaming aspirated engines would be great for many fans.  I’m not really sure if these moves will add more fans but it could turn some of the current ones off.

How was it?  I wasn’t able to watch it.  And I’m guessing most matches were wrestling heavy kinda like the UFC back in the day, around 10 years ago with fighters based in the US..?  It’s turning out that Russian wrestlers are pretty good too.

I didn't watch all the fights but I liked what I saw and it all looks similar like UFC but in Russian, there was even some crowd in the arena.
Artur Guseinov vs Brazillian Marcio Santos was most interesting fight for me and there was atleast one or more Nurmagomedov students fighting in this event.
You can check their youtube channel were they uploaded most of the fights I think:
https://www.youtube.com/c/EAGLEFIGHTINGCHAMPIONSHIPEFC/videos

Yeah..  Russian based fighters are on the rise.  Check out Khizriev at UFC this weekend.  He’ll be fighting Kyle Daukas, Chris Daukas’ younger brother.  I got a small bet on the Russian at 1.87.  He looks solid with the grappling, wrestling and has really fast, hard kicks.

The first two PSG goals were somewhat flukey.  I feel like lady luck is on their side and they could win the whole thing this season.  Dunno...  But they knocked Barca out then Bayern.  Which club they getting past next?

And how long is Verrati out for?  They obv need him.  For most of the match, PSG seems lost in midfield.  They’re missing that pivot.
4389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 07, 2021, 07:33:28 PM
^  I think it’s the back 4’s fault too?  How tf did Neymar and Mbappe break their line?  And that second goal by Marquinhos was cos PSG caught the defenders sleeping again.  

Edit:  The second goal was called off side?  It’s still 0 - 2 in my stream.  I’m prolly late by a couple of minutes?

Edit:  Bayern goal.  1 - 2.
4390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there sportsbooks that offer flipped odds? on: April 07, 2021, 06:55:22 PM

When Ronda Rousey fought Holly Holm at UFC 193 in 2015. Ronda was a 10 to 1 favorite with Holly Holm being a 10 to 1 underdog.

Many thought Holly Holm would win that fight. But no sportsbooks offered Holly Holm as a betting favorite.

If Holm were offered as a betting favorite, it would open the door to arbitrage gambling. Gamblers would lay big money on Holm as a 10 to 1 underdog. Then lay big money on Ronda as an underdog on books where Holly Holm was offered as a betting favorite. Gamblers would make money no matter which athlete won if both sides could be bet at +plus odds.

In practice it would work like this.

$100 bet on Holly Holm as a 10 to 1 underdog would payout $1,000.
$100 bet on Ronda rousey as a 3 to 1 underdog would payout $300.

This type of gambling is profitable to gamblers no matter which sides wins, which is why it is not common.

It could also mean there might be an opportunity present for those who can consistently and accurately recognize when the odds are wrong and offer opposing numbers.

....



Not sure about ‘flipped odds’ but Nitrogen has what’s called alternative lines like some fiat books regularly offer.  They mostly have these markets in football, basketball, baseball and most other ball games.  I’m not really sure with sports like MMA or boxing tho.  And I don’t think there’s another book in crypto that has it except them.

^  Yup.  It’s 2 - 1 for Bayern for me if I was playing this pool.  I’m looking at the line ups right now and I’m not sure about this Chuopo Moting guy tho.  Is he any good?

Ex City guy Leroy Sane anytime goal scorer at 3.3 seems like nice fun for a small bet.  No idea if he’s any good at Bayern.  Lol.
4392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 07, 2021, 01:06:53 PM
Some underdog leans I’m looking at are:  William Knight at 2.25.  His opponent didn’t give a good account of himself vs Sam Alvey despite being the huge favorite.

Jordan Griffin at 2.26.  He’ll be fighting a hyped prospect in his UFC debut.  Let’s see if he’s up to it.

Sam Alvey at 2.70.  I’m not convinced with Julian Marquez in his match with Maki Pitolo.  Pitolo was winning it til he gassed out.  Marquez doesn’t have good cardio either but had a slightly better one than Pitollo.  Sam Alvey on the other hand held up as a big underdog in his last bout.
4393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 07, 2021, 12:28:27 PM
Manchester City was even lucky they managed to win the game. It would not be a strange story if Dortmund would have take the victory.
But a 2-1 defeat is still fine for Dortmund. 1-0 win is enough to advance to the next round.

^  It wasn’t luck.  It’s not like they didn’t try to win the match or they didn’t have enough fire power over BVB.  Anyway, the thing I got out from the match was I didn’t really know that Haaland looks so damn tall on the pitch.  It seemed like he was taller than the defenders.  Cheesy

Does anybody know where we could stream the EFC live?  It’s Khabib’s promotion.  I thought it was gonna be in UFC Fight Pass but it isn’t.  I don’t think it’s gonna be in YT either.

These Russian dude look tough.  Tougher than the KSW guys.

Interesting news and I didn't know that Khabib became the boss now  Cheesy
I bet Dana White will still work with him and bringing fighters to UFC directly from EFC, and it's no wonder if we see all Khabib cousins winning everywhere they fight including Bellator.
This will probably include all fighters from ex soviet union, and I am not sure about live stream but I think it will be available on some sport channels posted in image below.

Here is official website for EFC MMA:

EDIT:
Found it and watching live now event with crowd   Cool

Most of the footy journos are low trust.  All they do is be on the look out for rumors and throw a story out there and see what sticks.  If you want confirmed transfer news, stick with BBC football news or one of the other established news sites.

And wtf happened to Juve since Allegri left?

They failed to sing Guardiola and they took 2 bad coaches.
But the problem is not the coach himself but the man who takes players. They fired him in 2018 and Inter signed him.

All the rumors swirling around at that time were all just that...  Rumors.  No way Guardiola was leaving City with a year left in his contract at that time.  Not with Ferran Soriano at the helm and Txiki Begiristain still with the club.  Those two are like his big bros at Barca, now at City.

What man?  The director of football?

West Ham are another team that are fighting for the 5th place and they had bad results on the last weeks. As Wolves are quite out-of-form, West Ham can benefit from their condition and get a win in this.

West Ham have a really good opportunity to move 4th on the table  Cheesy with 52 points if they win tonight against Wolves and Chelsea and Spurs will move one place behind. Wolves don't have that attacking power that the used to have and West Ham really have a good chance to win on this one. And odds are good for Hammers too  Wink.

West Ham got a very nice win with a 3-2 score and now they are at the 4th place leaving Chelsea behind. They could have actually beaten Wolves with a better score than this but Wolves tried their best and reduced the score difference to 1 at least.

There’s still 8 fixtures to go.  But there’s a very slight possibility that the Hammers could finish on top of Chelsea with the latter’s remaining fixtures a lot toughter than West Ham’s.  And another factor is Chelsea is still in the CL and the FA Cup too.

The Spurs and Liverpool still in it for top 4 tho.

Boom!  I guess this should stfu all those people who were spreading all the fud about this.  I mean sure most alts are really flawed but saying that it won’t break out just cos of it is mostly not true.  I’ve seen worse trend up higher than this.  

SXP/BTC:  Clean Break Out



There’s really not much to say except buckle up and hope it goes super nova like its sister project XVS.

Hey TheNineClub, I've just posted same info as in your post, but a bit more informative and usual for this topic style. On one hand this looks like a partly plagiarism, on the other as an additional info. What do you think I should do - keep my post or delete it? Or you can take some info from my post and edit yours. And I will delete or edit my.

^   That poster is spooking me out.  Lol.  I swear I saw Till in there the day TopTort posted it.  And double checking on the dates of announcements when Till was replaced, I swear that poster should still have Till in it.  Weird.

Anyway, here’s a vid of Vettori’s last fight.  It’s a banger.  Watch it.

And Mercedes sells millions of expensive cars to pay for F1.

Meanwhile Red Bull sells cans of let's say questionable beverage.

F1 teams gain revenue via FOM payments which is a pretty messed up system, sponsorships, link up with pay drivers for some teams and outside investment for other teams.  The teams themselves make their revenue.  It’s not some kind of pit where money is thrown to keep it going.  Lol.
