14 media outlets scored the fight in favor of Pedro Munhoz.

Only 3 thought Marlon Vera won.

I'll take that as an acknowledgement of accuracy.

Nick Mahmood and Marcel Varela appear to be new judges in MMA. (I don't recognize their names)

It could be a good idea to avoid gambling on matches where they are judging in the future.

It seems you don't like Marlon Vera that much, but surely that 1 loss against Cory Sandhagen doesn't mean he is not training anymore, he said in the interview that he also got his lapses and got tired in that fight so he gives up in defending those takedowns while on Pedro Munhoz case he is constantly pressuring Pedro Munhoz so much towards the fight he is keeping him in range so he can not do a guillotine against him, it was a perfect counter for sure,



Here is the result of my bet and even though I lost the Main Event because of O'Malley I still won 2 great fights for sure,

Aljamain Sterling (1.42) VS Sean O'Malley (3.15) - LOST

Surely whenever Aljamain Sterling switches stance O'Malley also switches a parallel stance and finds his power shot against Aljamain Sterling Aljo also not getting his opening with the takedowns he only shot 2 takedowns the entire fight and it was defended as well by O'Malley surely O'Malley is very patient against Aljo constantly waiting for an opening and not rushing things, it was clear that Sean O'Malley really gained the upper hand in this fight,



Neil Magny (5.00) VS Ian Machado Garry (1.22) - WIN

Even though that fight ended up with a decision Ian Machado Garry was very dominant the entire fight and Neil Magny can not do something about those kicks he was constantly getting hurt by the kicks Garry for sure it ended with a dominant win for Machado Garry, he is clearly faster and precise with these strikes in where it will land,



Marlon Vera (1.54) VS Pedro Munhoz (2.70) - WIN

It was clear from the blooded face of Pedro Munhoz that he has received much damage from Marlon "Chito" Vera that kicks were really pressuring Pedro Munhoz from entering Chito's inside for that Guillotine Choke to be effective but Marlon Vera doesn't allow it to happen, it could be a boring fight because the fight last longer but it was a precise win for Marlon Chito Vera for sure,

I'll go out on a limb and predict Pedro Munhoz defeating Marlon Vera.

Judging from Vera's last performance, it seems he isn't training. He's not working hard in the gym anymore.

Where did you get that information, I haven't seen anything. about it that Marlon Vera isn't training, surely that information will not leaked or anything,


Fights are uninteresting when no one is posting about them. But since you posted them I start looking into their fights on youtube. Its usually the younger one that is very eager to win but if I have to bet, I'd try Meerschaert. He is quite a very experienced submission fighter and though he is just 35, it's odd he is not the favorite.

Natalia Silva also is the younger one with more subs wins.
Maryna Moroz's record is 6 by submission and 4 by decision.  But I think Karine Silva will come out as the winner between them. Karine has more KO rate than Moroz, this obviously says Yes.


I posted my prediction early but for sure it is on the main events of the fight when it comes to the down-the-line fighters you can say it is easy to bet for the younger ones which are kind of effective but at the same time ridiculous, it is surely effective to bet for the younger generation but when the young ones are just starting to show off their prime when the veterans are at their peak I really think you can not make a bet on the slightly older ones if they are on the peak of their prime, but surely those chosen picks could surely work

For your pick, I also like Gerald Meerschaert to win this one he got insane cardio for sure that was needed in the ground department so this could end in a submission while posting this Natália Silva and Karine Silva have already won their fights and I also like those 2 to win this fight as I am judging on their skills and techniques,

Side fresh news.

Motor sports may be in Olyphics games in 2028.

They will decide in October but F1 can have a race there.

WOW! That is interesting but there is still a chance that it will not happen given the date that there could be an F1 for the Olympics they will surely have some meeting about it and would decide if there could be an F1 or not this is really an intriguing topic because we all know that F1 is not about 100% about the Drivers but the Mechanic as well, that is why there are 4 trophies on F1 1 is for the Mechanic, for the team that won the 1st place, it is intriguing at the same time interesting on how they can pull this up,


But a Red Bull ended up on a roof in Oracle Red Bull Racing's latest commercial for the brand new track in Las Vegas with their promotional video released a couple of days ago.
F1 Car Inside Casino?! | ¡Vamos, Vegas! feat. Checo Perez & Christian Horner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoHEWwhhif8

Looks like the team are still having fun during the summer break for the season without Verstappen in this one. For once! Wink

New Commercial Looks insane for sure and is this inside the Vegas Casino? it looks like it, for sure is much more awesome than with the Max Verstappen one, and they had given Sergio Perez a break for sure with this video, they are enjoying themselves for sure it is befitting because they are on a break right now an opportunity to relax for a bit, but for sure the Mechanic are doing their all in making the possible adjustments and upgrades, right now,


In that case, I can't see why the drivers of F1 will go there risking their reputation, risking losing to unknow or underrated drivers.

I think they can always decide not to compete right, or maybe their management will not let them, this could also a great chance for newer drivers to step-up as well they can always train a new driver for this task,

My prediction and bet of the UFC 292: Sterling vs. O'Malley

Aljamain Sterling (1.42) VS Sean O'Malley (3.15)


Sean O'Malley's odd was really tempting but on picking him you should be brave enough not to see what Aljamain Sterling can really do, he has already proven that his 1st fight was not a fluke and Petr Yan has already accepted that, and fans are right now have move on and accept him as a champion, now on this fight Sean O'Malley could win against Sterling if he can defend those takedown's if he improve his takedown defense or he has raise his skill in defending those wrestling, because for sure this is an Aljamain Sterling show so my pick is the Funk Master Aljamain Sterling,

Neil Magny (5.00) VS Ian Machado Garry (1.22)


In this fight, the young Ian Machado Garry is really something else I admit but surely Ian Machado has a boxing style while Neil Magny has a combination of both but for sure Ian Garry has the power to deal with Magny and with his young age I think he is more agile and fast than Neil Magny so my pick is Ian Machado Garry,

Marlon Vera (1.54) VS Pedro Munhoz (2.70)


This is an interesting fight for me Marlon Vera got the height and reach advantage and due to his kicks he got quite the range over Pedro Munhoz, he just has to be careful with Munhoz's Guillotine Choke because he is an expert with such things, but for me, Vera got a great takedown defense and with those kicks, he got the range he needed to beat Pedro Munhoz so my pick is Marlon Vera winning this,
485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 19, 2023, 12:04:11 PM

They will do fine and Tuchel will bring some success to them without a doubt. We should not be overreacting to them not doing well on just their first ever game, that happens and there is nothing wrong with that, I do not think that it will matter as much as people think it will matter.

We need to realize that this was just one game and it could still go well enough. Technically speaking he already won the league with them, sure Dortmund basically gifted them the win, and that's how they got the league but everyone is forgetting that Bayern also lost just a bit before that and gifted the title to Dortmund as well, so it was a reversal. I think he will again win the league and he will do fine at UCL as well, maybe not win it but go far.

Well, there is nothing wrong with getting defeated in the 1st game, and even though it is not in the Bundesliga and even though it is the debut of the great Harry Kane well the chemistry is not there so this could surely happen Bayern Munich is not really ready yet, and yet Harry Kane played the game against Leipzig just for him to get used to the Bayern way of football and to get much chemistry with the team on that game,



Now here are my picks for the games today I am not betting on this yet because it is still risky making my picks for the 1st matchday and looking at who is the team that has made a sudden change with their game

Wolfsburg (60%) VS Heidenheim (18%) - Percentage Odds

The high percentage win goes to Wolfsburg but they surely got a great game for sure and they are making great progress as well so my pick is Wolfsburg,

Hoffenheim (44%) VS Freiburg (31%) - Percentage Odds

Hoffenheim might get a huge percentage on this but for me, the Freiburg last season was on equal terms with Leipzig so my pick here is the Leipzig,

Augsburg (35%) VS Monchengladbach (39%) - Percentage Odds

In this game, these two teams can be on equal footing but for sure Gladbach is great with their defense I am doubting their situation right now but for sure my pick is Gladbach, or this could be a draw

Stuttgart (56%) VS Bochum (21%) - Percentage Odds

Bochum is having a really hard time with their stay in the 1st Division I surely don't think they can defeat Stuttgart in this game so my pick is Stuttgart,

Leverkusen (40%) VS Leipzig (34%) - Percentage Odds

With their latest game against Bayern Munich and landing as the champion for DFL Supercup Leipzig has done a great job with that win even though Leverkusen has a huge percentage I am still going with Leipzig,

^  Yup and it helps if you play the game yourself and learn the build orders and stuff.  I think you could now download the original SC/BW anthology for free.  Not sure but akaik it is since Blizzard release StarCraft Remastered.

If you really want to get deep into it a bit more but you don't know where to ask questions about the game, TL.net is the go to forum.  Some of the guys over there have been there for years...  It's really impressive to have that kind of motivation.  

https://tl.net/forum/?filter=broodwar

Actually, for a newbie to the game, I surely have some basic ideas on how the game works but I am not that well knowledgeable with some faction's resources and line requirements for a certain unit, most of the time not reading what to do led on the worst decision and scenario's but surely that was back then when I was just a student, my classmates were very busy playing it while I was just watching the game and don't really have any idea what is happening and I felt curious about it back then, all I learned back then was how to attack and who to attack, my classmates said that the different color-coded units are the enemies, but you can also put some allies in the game,

It was really fun maybe I will download the whole expansion in a free sharing site to play the game then when I am well verse with the old version maybe going into the Starcraft 2 is my next target, well thanks for the advice I really like this conversation it brings back memories of my past,

^  If O'Malley could defend the TD's then he def has a chance.  But I don't think he could.  Petr Yan was able to take him down with ease and Yan is mostly a striker.  Think about it, if Sterling gets him down on the mat at R1, it's over.  He'll find a way to finish it with a sub.

Here's the pre fight press conference.

The fight could surely go on under any circumstances that we think, and Sean O'Malley got some guts to take on the champion because he likely wants his hot at the title, and surely for the big money in facing Aljamain Sterling inside the octagon for sure, but if he can pull an upset then that is a different story, while Sterling could secure a takedown and would also go with those takedowns and rag doll O'Malley on the ground,

Hiding any form of activity from a spouse sets a dangerous precedent for the foundation of trust in relationships! Your explanation that the money is for "extras" is insufficient. Even if they're just pennies, the connection needs to be open and accountable.

What about the time-honored defense, "Its my first time playing," when you get caught? Really? That is comparable to catching a kid with their hand in the cookie jar. Its time to take responsibility! Community impressions are something you should be prepared for if you are aware of the negative connotations associated with gambling but still decide to participate. Social conventions cannot always be used as a justification for concealment. Own your choice to gamble.


I agree! So why hide any activity if it was done in moderation and with just given extra money in your pocket I think we can surely go and bet if the money is not illegal at all then tell your husband and wife that you wanted to make a bet on something this will not only give extra income for most people but a joy that you are not hiding something from someone, no pressure included and no worrying that you might get caught, is just making an explanation that you are gambling with some extra money and not causing to deplete the savings

But I think your partner will accept it if it is with sports gambling and not with Casinos, for sure I will accept my partner to play with Sports gambling that with Casino,


When I first started gambling I kept my gambling secret from the people around me and especially from my family. However, I later realized that this was nothing to hide. Unless you're addicted to gambling it's not hard to realize that it's not actually something shameful or something to hide. I think that people who have reached the level of addiction and hide it think that gambling is a bad thing and therefore they hide their gambling addiction. Also, considering the possibility of exclusion based on religious and social pressure I think that this pressure and belief may be among the reasons for those who gamble but hide it. I don't think that people who hide that they gamble for such reasons feel regret.

They don't feel regret because they are addicted to it, and for sure they are not ashamed if their family and friends see that they are gambling Well, yes if you are addicted to gambling you can not think clearly anymore and you are just thinking about gambling the whole time, and will eventually keep on using your money to gamble it is clear that people with addiction can not control themselves anymore and with this addiction it is really uncontrollable and it is on the higher stage of addiction for sure,

Exactly. Imho whole O'Malley career is created by UFC. He is an UFC product. They have found a guy who can knock out people, he has charisma, he can talk, he can sell. They build him a history. Lets look on O'Malley career. The guy is having a title fight in few days and the only fighter from bantamweight top15 he has beaten is ranked 5 Petr Yan, who he won by split decision. And to explain that O'Malley comfortably had only strikes in his ufc career. He had only one bjj opponent, Vera, to whom O'Malley lost Cheesy

That is why they let Sean O'Malley win that fight against Petr Yan, just because there are a lot of fans than Yan, as we can see the pink poodle is really popular in that fight which is why the UFC decided to give this win to O'Malley which I think Petr Yan should win, this is just my take about what should be the result for the Petr Yan VS Sean O'Malley fight there is a lot of controversies on that fight which we can see in the 1st round that was the close one for sure but Petr Yan was the one that was aggressive and has the explosion over the fight but surely just because there are a lot of Fans for O'Malley the UFC decided to give the win for O'Malley,


That fight will be a Co-Main Event on UFC 294 Islam Makhachev VS Charles Oliveira and that for sure is going to be one juicy event yet again, we will have Nassourdine Imavov VS Ikram Aliskerov, which will be a banger for sure but this is going to be a technical striking fight for sure, Magomed Ankalaev VS Johnny Walker which could be a Striking and Wrestling VS Striking and Athleticism fight, Tim Elliott VS Muhammad Mokaev a Veteran VS the New Kid, Jinh Yu Frey VS Victoria Dudakova the fighting kittens that will be an interesting fight, and lastly Bruno Silva VS Sharabutdin "Bullet" Magomedov this will be the debut of a prospect, and Bullet Magomedov is surely a great fighter to watch

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/99416-ufc-294


WOW! Thanks for this information I was really looking for this I really thought that Khamzat Chimaev VS Paulo Costa will be a Main Event and I didn't realize that they are at the Co-Main instead, this is going to be one juicy fight for sure and looking at it, it was really a banger of a fight for sure and there are a lot of Russian guys that is why it is really an exciting event I can not wait for it to start, actually I think that UFC 294 is more juicier than the event we got now in my opinion,

^  They never played any mod.  Everything they did was what they thought was the coolest because they fan boy'd over what the popular progamers did at the time.  So what they did, I tried to copy...  Stuff like build orders and timing attacks.

This channel is updated faster.  The commentary isn't really good tho.  I'd rather watch the Korean livestream even though I don't understand Korean that much.  There's just more excitement.

https://www.youtube.com/@StarCastTV

But if you can wait, it's better to watch it with Artosis and Tasteless' commentaries in AfreecaTV's channel.  They usually upload it later but it's worth the wait.

Group C winners...  Both underdogs won their first matches.  



So we got two new faces getting into the Round of 16.  Calm and Killer, both Zerg players and both looking good.

Oh! That is OK I was just going to ask if you played the modded one as well, but surely modded is not for the tournament for sure, but for me, this is just my take on the Gundam modded Starcraft it is awesome but surely if you are a starcraft avid fan you would like your game to not be modded at all, this is just my take on the Modded game version,

For sure many have tried the move set and strategy of pro gamers on their own game, and sometimes you are probably proud that you have made the unthinkable and accomplished 1 of that gameplay,

Thank you for that link, but even though I want an updated version, it will surely do I think I will study those teams and the gameplay of those available players, this is still a great watch and review for sure,

-snip-
Even so, you can already have the answer yourself, that Adesanya is a fighter with quite a hard punch, so it's not difficult for Adesanya to deliver a deadly blow to overthrow Strickland, who feels he has quite good resistance.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that you can't compare Abusupiyan Magomedov with Adesanya against Strickland.

Actually, I think I also said that Sean Strickland is not a hard-hitting fighter, so for Israel Adesanya to lose this fight for sure Alex Pereira would make him a laughing stock if that happens, but yeah I am just saying that Izzy shouldn't underestimate Sean Strickland, for sure because Strickland has a great defense for sure, So yeah Israel Adesanya will win this one, he just don't need to underestimate Strickland, for me Izzy will need to go out there with the level of confidence like what he did with Alex Pereira,

Isn't this an interesting main card sequence because it will feature a battle encounter between great fighters.
There will be a surprise from Islam Makhachev against Oliveira at UFC 294.


The only thing I don't like about this was the Jon Jones VS Stipe Miocic fight surely Stipe Miocic is a 40-year-old, and I don't want to say that Miocic is already washed but his last fight was in 2021, sure that years of vacant that he was not inside the octagon, just makes rust, not like Jon Jones that still training to return and Jon Jones is still at his 36 years old so yeah it is a long shot for Miocic in returning now, it was really that late, for sure his movement is not the same anymore in my opinion, this is a clear favorite for Jone Jones for sure, and I really don't like to see this fight what I want to change Stipe Miocic with a top 5 on the Heavyweight Division, Sergei Pavlovich, or Tom Aspinall, what I want to see or maybe Jailton Almeida
493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: August 15, 2023, 07:25:24 PM
 

But at least Adesanya has regained his belt and avenged his defeat against Alex Pereira, in the last meeting which was also at the same time Adesanya took revenge by giving 3 heavy punches to Alex Pereira's face, causing him to fall down immediately.
In my opinion, the last meeting was a pretty great fight for Adesanya and in that fight Adesanya proved to the world that he deserves to be the strongest in that class and don't try to underestimate him or even want to take the championship belt from him.
I'm not sure Strickland can survive or even beat Adesanya, maybe he will also suffer the same fate as Alex Pereira where he gets a few big punches and then goes down helpless.

Maybe it will be more interesting but isn't that just going to be more and more hot debates plus I'm sure there will be some nonsense phrases that will definitely make you embarrassed when the fight starts in the octagon.
But let's wait and see what will happen to Strickland in the future. Cheesy

Sean Strickland will always be pissed with Israel Adesanya, and become a lapdog of the UFC, as every fight that is last minute he will fill it in because he badly needed that money, as I have seen his last fight with Abusupiyan Magomedov that was a great performance of Strickland and he exposes Abusupiyan Magomedov in this fight because Magomedov was an explosive fighter but the thing is he is not that technical and Strickland has an excellent defense you can say that Sean Strickland is not good with his offense but furthermore when it comes to defense he is surely a veteran, but it will not work against a more technical fighter, and Abusupiyan Magomedov was exposed for not being technical, and just throwing that punch randomly,

Would be funny if Pereira would train Strickland for a fight against Izzy Cheesy Rivalry continues Cheesy We know that Strickland is ready to fight anyone, but dont you think Izzy has picked an easy opponent? On the other hand, who should Izzy fight then? Vettori for the third time or Whittaker? Cannonier for the second? Costa is busy with Chimaev.

That's it I was waiting for the Paolo Costa VS Khamzat Chimaev does anyone have any information on when it will be, thanks for this I did remember this, but returning back to Sean Strickland, Israel Adesanya can not take Sean Strickland lightly, this dude has a great defense you can not underestimate the guy, and exposes Abusupiyan Magomedov in their fight for sure Sean Strickland can surprise anyone for sure,

Yes danherbias07! I will be going with the upset for the Main Event come this weekend at UFC 292.
Good catch on the odds difference for the K.O by Suga Show is a more likely outcome if he does win.
Because Aljo is the submission master and that is why they call him Funkmaster Flex.

Nice rundown in the bouts on the main card owengtam09!

There also has been some rule changes that came out today that recognizes what has happened during the last two UFC Main Events and have addressed these issues within those fights for all bouts going forward:
https://www.mmanews.com/news/rule-changes-help-mma-fighters-who-sustain-eye-pokes-illegal-strikes

The big one is this because of how the Sandhagen fight was very boring due to not having some kind of rule put in place to avoid this happening especially during a main event:
Separating stalling fighters
The third rule approved codifyies language on referee discretion on when to separate stalling fighters.

“Positioning fighters for a restart after a foul warning, physicians examination or a point deduction:

“Intention: A fighter should never be allowed to improve their position based on fouling.

“When a fighter who is in a disadvantaged position fouls and the referee must stop the action — if it can be reasonably accomplished, the fighters should be returned to their positions after the time is taken for the warning, physician’s examination or point deduction.

“When a fighter who is in position of advantage fouls and the referee must stop the action for a warning, physician’s examination or point deduction, the fouling fighter should lose his position of advantage when the bout resumes.

So you are going with Sean "Sugar" O'Malley this is really interesting actually thinking about it Sugar O'Malley might have a decent takedown defense or his wrestling defense might be great I really don't know because I haven't seen him defend a takedown at all and this is my take Aljamain Sterling versus Henry Cejudo was really something as Sterling was constantly Spamming takedowns even though Cejudo got a high level in wrestling so against O'Malley that specialize with striking this fight is pretty much hard for him as Sterling will Surely control him in the ground, as you can see I really don't see Sean O'Malley fight a guy that can shoot good takedowns but Petr Yan, and only Petr Yan and from that fight he shoots 13 takedowns and only 6 was successful, as O'Malley is having a hard time with Petr Yan what if it is against Aljamain Sterling,

I have seen those MMA rules maybe it was because of the Cory Sandhagen VS Rob Font fight, but for sure those are the new rules maybe not because of that fight but we got 5 new rules in the MMA, one was for the eye poke if I am correct, they will give more time for the fighter to recover from the eye pokes, and for the Doctor Stoppage they will put someone that will stop the bleeding in order to further the fight from getting stop, this is just the rules that I have remembered and for sure for me it can be effective,

^  I'm not much of a SC/BW gamer too but I played it a lot as a kid.  My brothers and cousins were into the SC progaming scene so I kinda knew what's going on...  And as a sports betting afficionado, I think there's some value in these lines because not a lot of people know about the game.

Anyway, here are the results of groups A and B.  All winners were expected except one...  This guy 'Calm'.  He was almost a 3 to 1 underdog but he plays pretty good ZvZ and ZvP.  Looking forward in watching him at the next round.






For sure it was really that popular back then and back then and now I am still a noob about this game even though I have played it before I still don't know what I am doing because of so many upgrades and requirements to build something, actually, I am still not well versed on this kind of things, but surely if your brother and cousins are playing Starcraft back then did you notice the MOD one with a Gundam on it, I actually come across it once back then and it was really a neat addition,

Is this youtube Channel updated? or it is the latest match-ups https://www.youtube.com/@afreecatvesports432

In Group A Zoma is doing fine and now has a dominant position in Group A and Mini is in 2nd, while Group B has Calm with a dominant win while Soulkey is at the 2nd place, Calm is surely playing well actually and I will not be surprised if he got this championship,

Dawodu def got robbed imo.  I mean the match wasn't even that really that super mega close to have an argument for Cub Swanson.  Even Swanson was surprised he won via unanimous decision.  :/  Def bad judging.

Anyway, we take our lumps then on we go to the next.  UFC 292 is stacked!  Can't wait to watch fighter replays for some of these match ups.  Smiley  I'll be rooting for O'Malley but if he can't defend Sterling's TD's it's game over.


I agree that Hakeem Dawodu got robbed in this fight you can not say it was a close fight and while the highlights on the Cub Swanson interview they were highlighting Swanson's good side for sure most people would say that Cub Swanson did great but surely you can not take his reaction out that he was surprised that he won this fight, and we all know the history of the judges in the UFC that they make the wrong decision and Hakeem Dawodu was another victim,

For sure Sean O'Malley will pretty much formulate a plan to stop the takedowns but if he can not stop Sterling's takedowns and has answered with his wrestling then this is a win for Aljamain Sterling for sure and I saw that Aljamain Sterling will surely use the MMA in his advantage that is how Smart Sterling is when fighting,

Well, In addition to this, there are 5 new rules for the MMA that adds up to the MMA that could surely change how the MMA would surely balance the situation, but for sure in it, there are no more stalling the referee would surely apply to break when a takedown occurs this is for fighters that are just stalling and holding the position on the ground, Eye Pokes and for Doctor stoppage rules I will surely look on this 5 new rules and will share it in the moment I see it,

Finally. The bad omen is broken.  Grin

@jakelyson - Why did you bet on the Phoenix Mercury? I hope that's not parlay.
@owengtam09 - Another victim.
Me and @YuginKadoya are the only ones who trusted the Seattle Storm.  Cheesy Anyway, we mostly won our bets so that's okay.

Sadly, I forgot to put my bet on the Las Vegas Aces. Does anyone remember how much the spread was? Because all of you took the money line.

Anyway, that's still a good day for all of us. More on the winning side that the losing part. I guess it's because there's no upset today and the spreads are also covered.
Liberty saved me there, the 11 points lead was just the exact amount for my bet to be covered at -10.5.
No games tomorrow. 1-day rest and then we are back to the game. Congratulations guys.

Yup! I was a victim of the Phoenix Mercury, I thought that they will make progress as Diana Taurasi is with them but the girl just score 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 points, and Sophie Cunningham is their lead scorer at that time with 25 points, surely you can never rely on Taurasi anymore and she should have retired right now, just like Sue Bird,



Here are the result of my bet and prediction

Indiana Fever (4.90) VS New York Liberty (1.14) - WIN

I really thought that the New York Liberty might lose at the start of the game but they surely got their game and make a comeback in the 2nd quarter of the game, and made a great lead in the 2nd half surely the New York Liberty is very dominant within those times, Courtney Vandersloot did a great job in making those plays she got 14 assists, while Breanna Stewart got 42 Points career high for this game it was a dominance with Stewart great
performance,



Seattle Storm (1.74) VS Phoenix Mercury (1.98) - LOST

Surely Seattle Storm from start to finish made a tremendous lead and from start to finish they never let the Phoenix Mercury make a lead at all it surely is a one-sided loss I attain, Ezi Magbegor and Jewell Loyd were nailing it in making the lead more for them and it was hilarious for picking the Phoenix Mercury that is not consistent,



Las Vegas Aces (1.04) VS Atlanta Dream (8.60) - WIN

This is a very dominant game for the Las Vegas Aces you can also say that it was a very one-sided game because the Las Vegas Aces were the only ones leading the entire game the Atlanta Dream surely struggled in making their lead, Jackie Young and A'ja Wilson was the two that got the lead to a higher point, and for sure it just keeps getting higher when time progress,

Right now I am new in this I am not really a gamer but just like you I also like watching games like battle realms or this one starcraft or watching Diablo back then with my friends, surely I was really happy just watching the games but I am not really playing it, but surely I had some idea on what is Zerg, Terran, and Protos maybe I would play the the old game with the expansion set, surely this is my 1st time going inthis thread and pretty much there is no one in here but us,

I see that the 1st games will start today August 14, 2023 or due to timeline it will be tomorrow, because  for sure I can not see any details yet and can not watch any video right because I was at the office right now and there are sites that are blocked in out office, but will surely follow what information you will post here and will research the teams that many got into the finals or might win this tournament,

One sentence, it's just 1 game. Who cares about the league cup? No me, not Bayern, not the Bayern fans.
They will destroy the league, that's what they want to do.
Who remembers the league cup when they become German champion and maybe get another title with it?

The media now trying to stir something up just to make Bayern look without a plan is just ridiculous.
This will motivate them even more , trust me.

And I hate Bayern, I am a Dortmund fan since childhood. But I can see the reality.  Grin

For sure that 1 game means nothing at all and Harry Kane is new to Bayern Munich and doesn't have any chemistry with the team yet so for sure this will surely end in mostly lost to Bayern Munich, or just a Draw but on that DFL supercup Dani Olmo got the better of him, but if Bayern Munich would training and practice with Harry Kane with the play they are doing I really think that Kane can adjust to the Bayern Munich system because right now Harry Kane needs proper understanding on how Bayern Munich is doing things,


That's right, Kane still needs time to adapt in a few matches with Bayern Munchen. If Kane had joined sooner, surely he could have been better in the adaptation process and building a hemistry with other players. But I don't think this can be a benchmark yet, and Kane is not the one who should be responsible for this defeat. Since this is just the beginning for him, we will see how he performs and contributes in the Bundesliga next week.

Dani Olmo showed no pressure and scored a hat-trick against Bayern Munich, something that rarely happens.

Surely I see an interesting match up in this upcoming season right now August 19 will start the 1st matchday for the Bundesliga and I am excited on what the other teams have gotten, if they also improve for sure Dani Olmo have seen the weakness of Bayern Munich and he have exploited it to gain momentum for this game, that is why I am really excited on the competition for the Bundesliga right now, but for sure Bayern Munich and Harry Kane are just getting started,


I agree, the way he was dismissed wasn't proper but now we have to focus on what's ahead and not a coach Bayern Munich has dismissed for over two to three months.
The lose was good but they don't need to focus too much on it, yes critics will go about  talking  that is what they do best.
Now onto the first game of the season. Harry Kane  will not struggle he will be a great signing for Bayern Munich.  Nagelsmann has done his part, now it is time for Thomas Tuchel to do his own part.

Well, for sure Thomas Tuchel will need some explanation to do for sure his time with Chelsea was really great but that was the past can he still make it happen again now that he is in Bayern Munich, for sure there are many question if Thomas Tuchel really win with his strategy or it is just luck,

@owengtam09 Very nice.
UFC 292. I have been waiting for that event. I didn't watch this last fight because I don't really like what is on the fight card. But this next one I would definitely not miss.

And the Countdown starts.
STERLING vs O'MALLEY | UFC 292 Countdown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCf9SZzqsO4

Here are the odds for this fight for the main event.
Aljamain Sterling - |Winner @1.39| by KO @7.40| by submission 3.00| by decision 2.43|
Sean O'Malley - |Winner @3.25| by KO @4.60| by submission @23.00| by decision 8.20|


Do you guys see a difference? By KO. Sean is the favorite and has a chance to KO the champion. I actually double-checked it to see if I am not making a mistake.  Cheesy Well, that dude is a hard puncher so it's given.

They already made the trash talk in the Octagon. Time to put all those in their fists and see who will be the strongest and most skillful. I am truly excited for this match.

Do you guys think there will be an upset?

For sure this is going to be a banger of a fight but it is as bummer that you have missed the last event there are so many good finish it was really an awesome of a card, we just have 4 decision winnings and the rest is consist of KO/TKO and Submission wins, that is how juicy that last event but for sure this fight the fighters are pretty much well know than with the last one, so it is going to be an entertaining fight,

Now pretty much I am curious if Sean O'Malley can face the wrestling of Aljamain Sterling head-on, as I really don't seem to see him with some ground game, and there surely not much Submission win for O'Malley or if he can defended all that wrestling game of Sterling,

Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos fight is not so bad as a Co-Main Event especially this is going to be a great fun fight to really watch and what kind of wrestling Weili will now show us,

Marlon Vera VS Pedro Munhoz is what I anticipated to watch as I really like Marlon "Chito" Vera style and his kicks was really awesome, so this is a great time to watch for sure,
