Lewis Hamilton to ferrari is definitely the talk these days, but nobody talks about the other two situation. First of all, Sainz is gone with this new information, which will impact his season, he will not play team racing and he will try to get the most points, to him Charles is the enemy as well maybe more than anyone else and he may not listen to what others will say, no team order could make him give up positions anymore, or maybe better yet he might do it because he wants to show others he can be a team player.

Another situation is the empty Mercedes seat, sure Grossjean is a funny bit and all, but we know they will try to get someone better, I do not know who that person will be but they will really need someone great at that spot if they want to have a chance.
Still a long ways to go for them to make a hunt for a replacement driver and one who will make a great fit being considered the wingman to Russell and not better than him.

Yup as I said it will be a mess.
Sainz and Hamilton will give a hard time for the team but I guess in this case they can have penalties on their salary and they can be benched for the 3rd driver.
Ferrari should still have Giovinazzi under contract if things are really bad he will race over Sainz.
3rd driver means not on the race grid anymore. only as a test driver and reserve driver if the 2 main drivers lewis hamilton or Charles Leclerc are injured can only race on the grid again. if there is an offer from another team to be the main driver or on the science grid, he will definitely choose to leave ferarri.
Wasn't Ricciardo the third driver at Red Bull before going to AlphaTauri essentially the same organization but still driving for a different team. Think he had only one race while there. But he was on the sidelines most of the time basically being a cheerleader while at Red Bull for his stint there.

Nice little video to watch about Hamilton's move to Ferrari and why he chose to go there:

Hamilton REVEALS The REAL Reason About Ferrari F1 Move! - The Racing Guru
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbj3zKKpj1I

It also helped him make the choice being very good friends with Fred Vasseur where they have kept in contact on a weekly basis.

@YuginKadoya
It was one of the worst UFC events so far into the year, as many have stated already.
The only saving grace was the Moicano post fight interview.

As that was the only thing which was getting any traction and replay from this rather disappointing engagement and some are saying they rather see none, if at the Apex. Even Renato was saying it was like having a heavy sparring session fighting there, this very true since there are no crowds like at the main event venues every other week.
The main fight was not any good either and the octagon referee didn't know the difference of the rule for Vegas and the events outside of the Apex.
Which took a point away where it didn't need to be since Imavov looked at him to make sure he knew the rule of a downed opponent before striking him.


@owengtam09
Atleast none of your selections lost since that No Contest was considered a void for your bet.

Listening to Renato Moicano after the fight where he was healing from an injury for over a year and a half makes sense of where he sees the UFC heading to since his absence.
The shout out to MMA Guru was pretty funny since the way he was portraying it he was roasting him live on air but infact they have been poking fun at each other for the past year because they are UFC youtubers who call out each other for awhile now. So it was all for show. As they say.

Today we have some really great matchups in the EPL.
Starting off with Everton vs Tottenham.
Which I have a feeling there just might be an upset to the top of the table from the basement dwellers starting right now.

These matches can be bet on here at the following markets:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/premier-league/matches

Still nothing on sports specials I guess because you dont post them? oh well guess every good thing will end huh

This match was insane with that last minute goal. I had draw on BSFL and yeah obviously I wouldnt really put my luck on this draw so I made a separate bet for Tottenham to win and BTTS then boom that last minute goal from Branthwaite. Either way, Im good with whatever the result is as long as Everton doesnt ended up winning the game
Yes, check everytime I log into the site. So nothing until they adjust it to all regions again according to what steve said to me earlier in the week.
Sorry about that arallmuus and everyone who wants to bet on those specials such as ralle14 does.

@rohang
EPL has been full of goals today as Aston Villa are up 4-0 in just the first 30 minutes of the game.
Sheffield United fans were leaving their seats after the third goal was scored 10 minutes ago and now I think all of them have left by now.
Don't think I've seen a team in the EPL score 4 goals consecutively in the first half of a match unless it they were Manchester City. Grin

Boston Celtics - Los Angeles Lakers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - AD and James are questionable to play which is the reason why the spreads are high.
The point spread is at -16.5 pts last time I looked so they are probably not playing. But only way to be certain is at tip-off.


Lots of parlay was probably destroyed due to the outcome of the game. Not only the Lakers won but they dominated the Celtics on their own homecourt where they have a very impressive record. Nothing is impossible, lol..what's happening here? Was it a rig show?

I can't believe a Lebron+ Davis less Lakers could easily beat the Celtics.

-16.5 but they loss by 9 points. Reaves took charges and scored 32 points, but 7-10 from beyond the arc.. where's the defense C's?
That outcome was absolutely nuts!
Think I heard the odds were 9.00x on Lakers to win that game without their two key players in the game.
They were announced as injured pre-game but they looked fine and jumping around when their team was ahead by 9.
So you know how that goes!
Think they were just scratched so to rest up prior to the All-Star weekend is all this whole nothing burger was about in the first place.

Joel Embiid might not get MVP of the year if he doesn't return playing according to some rule I heard about late last night that if he doesn't play a certain about of games during a season he can not get a chance to get MVP in that same season.
Which is a huge disappointment if true.

So, it looks that we may get official press release already today, it's only matter of time. I read that Toto Wolf already confirmed news about Hamilton on Sky Sports News.
Very unexpected, we all thought it's going to boring off-season Cheesy. Hamilton to Ferrari, I didn't expected that one day I will see such thing. While Sainz is going to move to new Sauber/Audi project.
Yes the official announcement has finally arrived from Mercedes side. They announced it on their official website: https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/news/mercedes-amg-f1-lewis-to-part-ways

At the end of the new season Lewis Hamilton is no longer going to be a Mercedes driver.  Smiley  He joined Mercedes in 2013 you know. It has been a whole 11 years nearly... It would be a sad goodbye for Mercedes side I guess. Hamilton played a huge role in Mercedes to win constructor titles 8 times too. Who do you think Mercedes would replace Hamilton with? Maybe Mick Schumacher or someone else?
Well that came true!

You did post about it first but thought it was just one of those video speculating about if he would sign if offered.
And well, he did! So the joke is on us.
Kidding aside.

This has turned things upside down and on it's head in the F1 world.
What will this do to the new Drive to Survive Series season 6 which will be released on the 23rd of this month?
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.drive-to-survive-season-6-release-date-announced-by-netflix.6ZS1GdHlVRpNc9dxA9kZ8F.html

Alot of editing I suppose to include this in it's storyline of creating even more tension between Mercedes and Ferrari.
"Lewis has activated a release option in the contract announced last August and this season will therefore be his last driving for the Silver Arrows."

Here are some more videos from TheRace and F1.com about this rather shocking turn of events for Mercedes because it will feel rather odd driving for the Silver arrows this season and knowing he is already be driving for the Red Pony team the following season:

Just seen a video about this announcement about an hour ago:
Israel Adesanya CONFIRMS UFC 300 Showdown ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhGhU9tRLEM
Nice! A teaser. I hope that is happening. Thanks for the share.
It's all speculation for now but I bet Dana White will be forced to give this one when fans are pushing it. Let them decide and just take the money.
I cannot wait to see Israel Adesanya on the octagon again. Looking at those Instagram posts, he looks more buff. It's like he is adding more carbo, I hope that won't mess with his weight.

I noticed it here too when he was training in Mexico.
He is bigger, right?
Israel Adesanya Looking SHARP Cracking Pads in Cabo San Lucas Mexico
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0wvGL8FGng

I don't if it's just my eyes playing with me or if his camp is doing it on purpose for preparation so he can take punches from big guys like Du Plessis. I mean, they saw what happened against Strickland when he tried fighting at stand-up boxing, it doesn't work. Adding more for defense might be a good idea since DDP is a brawler too.
Truth told danherbias07!

This is the fight all fans of either fighter want to finally see. And to have it headliner of The 300 will be spectacular at a promotional and at a fighting standpoint.
Have this settled and make the championship title great again!
Israel looks more massive in that video than he usually does, so no your eyes are just fine.
Du Plessis fights like a brawler and will go forward alot more than Strickland did to Adesanya. So his defense is key and he will need to learn to take any sort of damage DDP can dish out to him for all five rounds.
Preparation is on his mindset right now.

Poirier fight is back on after he tweeted it was all a mistake on his part with not getting incontact with his coach over the course of it all:

The point spread is at -16.5 pts last time I looked so they are probably not playing. But only way to be certain is at tip-off.

I tossed a couple bucks on the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the Boston Celtics tonight. I don’t actually think they’re going to win but the game is on TV tonight and I might tune in to watch it so I wanted some skin in the game. The odds are crazy so it seemed like the bet to make. I don’t expect to win but I do hope it keeps me entertained watching the game.
I'm on the same boat.  Lakers in prime time won't get blown out.  Bron will turn the screws and keep it close.  Not touching the Knicks game, taking Memphis at home -8.5 (that's a lot to give), and I'm taking Philly +4.5 on the road without embid.  Enjoy the games tonight peeps!
The odds seem like a trap being @1.08x for Celtics ML but that seems to be very bad if LeBron and Davis are actually going to play.
Because if so, then this is huge disrespect to them shorting the Lakers so badly.
Probably not worth to take even 1st and 2nd half @1.19x so the -10.5 might be the only market to make it worth while.

Did you guys hear the big teaser news for UFC 300?
Israel Adesanya is hinting on his Instgram profile that he could beon this card, but there is no official confirmation from UFC and Dana White!
There are speculations that is going against Dricus Du Plessis, but he just finished his last fight in January so I dont think it is going to be him.
https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/israel-adesanya/israel-adesanya-teases-potential-return-at-ufc-300-the-gods-must-be-crazy/
Just seen a video about this announcement about an hour ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhGhU9tRLEM

But with that post by Israel, it is just an unofficial match setup and nothing more. Since the UFC hasn't made any announcement of it straight from Dana's mouth on youtube yet, as he normally has done with these fights so far.

Also there has been some cancellations ahead of a couple of other fights.
Gaethje vs Holloway & Poirier vs Saint-Denis

Here is a mention about the Poirier vs Saint-Denis cancellation from TheWeasle:

All favorites won their matches and in convincing form from all top table squads including Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City.

So the Sportsbet Special was a certain winner and thanks goes to @ralle14 for putting it up since there had been a problem with certain regions, including mine, who don't seem to have been receiving them properly on the page.

HUGE HUGE upset as c9 lose to rebels(who???)

Also a 13-0 as spirit dont even give one round vs apeks
What a day 1 for iem loll
C9 got a good foothold of the first few rounds but Rebels really know how to pick up the pace. I expected Ax1le to perform somewhat better against unknown teams, but lo and behold he's just always getting caught at the wrong place with no trades available. Meanwhile on the other team, olimp was always quick to peek and entry frag for the team, making it look like he knows where everyone is. I honesyly love his confidence and I think that kind of threw C9 off in the latter rounds. Gigachad olimp ftw.
Team Spirit don't make themselves look like a pro-counterstrike team with a blank score like this on a map at Katoiwice!
They are going up against TheMongolz right now.
Have my bets on the favorites for the matches today but have this match for the over on rounds for maps instead. All due their performance yesterday that rohang had mentioned.

Breaking news:

F1 has just rejected Andretti Global's proposal to join the grid in 2025 or 2026.
F1's reasons, are that an 11th team alone (i.e. without a power unit manufacturer) would not bring enough value to the sport to warrant the upheaval of its addition.

Surprised as this addition would have definitely boosted viewership in US

https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/with-andretti-s-application-rejected-f1-touch-fanbase
Seen this headline news from one of my feeds and didn't look further on the details why they were rejected in the first place. But now we know.
So thanks for the update on this developing story about another additional team to the F1 circuit rohang!
Cadillac sounded sort of weird to be entering into this genre in the first place. Since they were known to be the clunky boat like cards of the 70's and 80's.

While in the UFC. Regarding UFC 300, it seems like the announced fights haven't quite lived up to expectations so far. The potential Jessica Andrade vs. Marina Rodriguez matchup may not be sparking excitement for you. As for the main event, I haven't come across any information yet. Hopefully, the organizers have something captivating in store to make UFC 300 a memorable event. The meme with Belal as one of the headliners adds a humorous touch, but let's hope the actual event surpasses expectations!
Funny that you mention specifically about the Jessica Andrade vs Marina Rodriguez fight because I just watched a video rightly about such a subject of if women fights in the UFC are just boring:

The Problem with Women's MMA - by TJlovesfights

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNJekp1qFRM

Maybe now they have become boring.
I was always excited to see Amanda Nunes and Rose Namajunas anytime they announced either of them as a main event.
But with these recent bouts especially for a aging Holly Holm I don't know many who say they are even wanting to see these two as even a co-main event. Just look at the last main event with the women as co-main.
It was not good at all and luckily we had a very good main event so to not have people turn off their tv.

Already have a cancellation for the Atlantic City card at the end of March announced:

EPL is back today after the fa cup break and i love a parlay of arsenal + crystal palace to win today for about 2.45 odds

Also like arsenal clean sheet but those are some short odds expectedly
Good predictions for those two yesterday. Thought Crystal Palace were going to draw their match. Alot of goals as it ended 3-2.
Was hoping for a similar score line for the Arsenal match but they scored their first goal later in the match and so it stayed low scoring.

Today we will have three matches in the EPL and they all look to not disappoint with the international matches are over for the main players of each of these teams. And hopefully Mo Salah is fit enough to play for the later match:

KC dont often get + odds so thats probably the play , gotta go with the nfl golden boy mahomes
Chiefs were in even before the game was done, some might say.
Are you so sure about who the golden boy is?
From the photos of the last game it could be Kelce as his big fan might disagree with you there.


@bbc.reporter Seems the majority of those who are betting on the Super Bowl are with you there.
Alot are on Purdy as he looked like he was channeling alittle of Lamar during the last game.
If that version shows up against Mahomes then the Chiefs will have a very tough task in taking the favorites down in this year's showdown.
