You call yourself a gambler if you embrace what you are doing, it doesn't need you to be addicted to calling yourself a gambler. Just have fun, consider yourself a gambler and you'll enjoy gambling because you know the risk and you know how to discipline yourself.

Well, that wasn't a great night for me as a fan with Ryan Hall getting knocked out, Wonderboy being pretty much dominated, and Conor breaking his ankle. I'll still support the three on their next fights, and I'm hoping that Ryan Hall can get a lot more fights than he has been, I don't agree with the narrative that fighters are scared to fight him though, he is pretty one dimensional, although very good at what he does.

Wonderboy didn't do overly bad, but once it hit the mat Burns pretty much dominated. I didn't like the back of the head strikes towards the end of the third round, and I feel that could have potentially been a point deducted as there were a lot of heavy, heavy shots to the bank of the head.

Conor was doing okay up until he wasn't. I felt like he was dominating the stand up, and it really did look like he came to hurt Poirer this time around. Poirer taking it to the ground was wise, and while he was on top, he was getting lit up himself on the ground, so I thought it was fairly even. Poirer took some big elbows, and also gave some big elbows. Okay, he did win the round, but they had both taken damage up to this point, and Conor wasn't out of it. The last exchange, before fighters missed fractionally, and either of them landed there, and it could have been goodnight either way, its just unfortunate that Conor snapped his ankle.

I get the animosity towards Conor, but if I wasn't a fan of him, which I do love his fighting style, and I can't just ignore he probably is one of the most exciting fighters to enter the UFC, I'd at least want to see him get convincingly beaten by Poirer via a knockout or a submission. Its just a shame it happened that way, I saw a few comments that Poirier was close to knocking him out at the end of the round, but for those that didn't watch the replay, they both missed their shots in that exchange, the only reason Conor went down, and stayed down was due to his ankle.

Both were in it up until that point, and I felt like we had a war coming. I can't write Conor off, that fight was competitive, and it could have gone either way. It looked like a few times that Poirier got hurt while on top due to the elbows, and Conor was narrowly escaping those big elbows coming down on him, well at least partially.

Tired today though, man its always annoying staying up all night, getting all excited, and feeling those pre fight nerves, and it ends like that.

Thank you for your analyze, as I understand you won't take this treble even with the bonus. Personally I think there is some value in this parlay @10.22 bonus included then I took it.

UFC264 has started and the fight between Jennifer Maia and Jessica Eye has been very bloody for a woman fight, the audience was shocked.

Bookies are sometimes wrong, many times Bucks are overvalued but they play a bad game. Getting into 0-2 hole will motivate them to win in game 3, but if they will not adjust or improve in all aspects on the floor, we might still see the same result in game 1 and 2. Maybe we think that Bucks will win in game 3 because it's a must, not because they will play well.

Thank you for posting your predictions about these two fights but what do you think of Irene Aldana vs Yana Kunitskaya and Stephen Thompson vs Gilbert Burns fights? I don't know if you have seen it but along with the triple winnings bonus on Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor, there is a double winnings bonus up to 200$ on a treble from Marlon Vera on Stake.
He's betting :
Irene Aldana to beat Yana Kunitskaya @1.85
Stephen Thompson to beat Gilbert Burns @1.66
and Dustin Poirier to beat Conor McGregor @1.79
What do you think of this parlay?

They have disappointed the fans a lot of times already, this time they'll try everything to win this championship although only a few believed in them. Everyone now is on the Suns, so I hope the Bucks will use that as an inspiration to come back and prove people wrong. Giannis is exceptional but we know he can't win alone, someone has to drop 30 points too from his team so there will be a balance distribution of offense.

We all saw the first fight and its clear domination by Inoue, however, that domination can be said that he is still fighting the hardest fight of his career as a boxer as he was injured in that fight. Donaire is also a champion, Inoue cannot underestimate Donaire, so if they are into the rematch, Inoue should train harder.

What I observed about Inoue is that he is fast but he lacks head movement, that's why he got hit in the face with some good counter by Donaire, however, Inoue is also strong, he always come back and hit donaire with some pair of heavy shots as well.

I'll be going for the submission from Ryan Hall. However, while the odds are pretty nice, I think that's a fair reflection. Topuria is going to know that will be Ryan's game plan, and previously we have seen Ryan Hall be a little bit one dimensional once he can't secure the takedowns. So, it'll be an interesting fight, I don't think we will see any traditional take downs from Ryan Hall, but more of his signature move of going for a leg hook. Whether or not Topuria can escape those will determine the outcome of the fight.

It is hard to stop someone that is good as Ryan Hall though. Since, Topuria would likely only have worked on stopping the heel/leg hooks in training camp. Its unlikely he's learned to have done it before that, at least in an extensive way since not many fighters of today utilize it.

If we think of a good NBA Finals, it should not be a sweep for the Suns even if they'll win the series. I'm thinking, the best spot we got is betting on the Bucks in game 3 because as what the history said, no NBA team has come back from 0-3 deficit, so Bucks would not allow that to happen and hopefully they'll get some help from the refs too.

I never heard any news about his possible in game 2 but does Giannis will really play? I'm searching an article about the possible return but I can't see or maybe just I didn't dig more deeper but if he really play well I will not expect anything huge from him since that injury he got from Atlanta game is pretty scary and  for sure he's still in recovery phase and will be more careful so that he cannot suffer for more worse. I did not cast my bet for Game 2 and let see how the game goes.

Looks like game 2 will be different from game 1.

Despite the dominance the Suns have shown in game 1, this line movement now is very suspicious for me.
Suns are now only -4.5. I guess more money will flow for the Suns with this line, however, this looks like a trap for me.
Your thoughts on this guys.

We cannot compare Oubaali to Inoue, Inoue is faster stronger than Oubaali, honestly, Donaire's chances are slim but we never know Inoue may look invincible but Donaire's team will look for flaws and exploit it, let's see how it goes if Donaire wins here, expect a third rematch here.

Unfortunately, the Bucks lose in game 1, but still, it's too early, the series will not be over soon as even if the Bucks will lose again in game 2, for sure the Bucks will bounce back in game 3. Cp3 did an amazing job, he is good at finding mismatches and I think what's lacking is the defense on Paul, it should be Holiday who should do the kind of defense Mann put to him, he has to follow him wherever he goes.
