UFC Vegas 89 is in full gear with media day yesterday showing what the main event fighters are thinking ahead of their bouts. At first I was going to side with Namajunas but then just as you explained, this would only her second fight at this weighclass. And Fiorot seemed to dominate her during this entire bout except for near the ending of the fight. So I will be going with Ribas on this one. She has the experience fighting at this weight. We will see how it goes at the weigh-ins tomorrow.

It has been a rather interesting past few months when the spot ETF was approved for bitcoin. We had seen it reach all time highs of over $73,337 on some exchanges then plumet down to $63,600 from what we just seen it do yesterday. This is a good article to see what the bitcoin halving will do with these inflows and outflows and how it will affect the price in the coming month when it actually does occur: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/impending-halving-creates-chaos-and-opportunity-in-bitcoin-market

Nice promo video released by UFC on their official youtube channel earlier in the week for this UFC Vegas 89 event: UFC Vegas 89: Ribas vs Namajunas - March 23 | Fight Promohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjybzSM8TNMActually looking forward to this fight with Rose vs Amanda since they both have similar fighting styles and body types. Long and lanky which make for some good strikes.

Don't think they have released who would be racing for Ferrari yet. As with what happened to him, it wasn't released until the day of qualifying. I remember that cause there was a blank spot on the markets without Sainz name there ahead of the Q1 race for a couple of hours.
I would suspect they will have the rookie continue on until Carlos fully recovers. Why put stress on him since with the sitting in the car and the vibrations of the track while in the cockpit of the F1 car could cause those stiches to reopen.
Wish for a different driver to get pole position this week and if it is anybody then it is Leclerc. Looking for somebody to step up so Verstappen odds for the next race gets lower than 1.50x again. So I can bet on him. But not for this one since 1.18x is still to low of an odd to place any amount on.

Anybody got any tips for me for the top seeds of March Madness? I know the top seed seldom wins, but do they usually perform at least in the first round? Or do they also get knocked out.
I tried looking for past year brackets and journey but it's not for me possible to find, or I don't know how to look Uconn Huskies do seem super good though huh!
Asking because of Sportsbet BSFL!
The top seeds usually do advance to the next round of the bracket of their matchups. Just looked at the odds from where they are now available and Huskies are 1.01x odds while their opponents the Hatters are 16.00x and don't see those odds changing much if any before they start their run this Friday 22nd. Purdue are No.1 on their end of the division as are UConn on theirs. So don't expect either of them to get knockout early. But then again, that's why they call it March Madness as anything can happen. Remember last year I placed a bet on one of the top seeded team and they got knocked out by a sixteenth seed. But this was in the later rounds.

I remember that when the site adopted the token the general comment in the forum was that in addition to the benefits that the site gave you it would help the token to appreciate in value. Even I who am not a shitcoins person bought some tokens, but I soon sold them because the price behavior was always worse than that of the Bitcoin.
You might won't believe but I bought 5000$ worth of FUN tokens and I held them for some months, thank god I sold them before it was too late and got some profit. I bought these coins because they were valued very high in 2017-2018 and I thought since Freebitco acquired them, FUN token would increase in price and go to the moon. I think that this project failed, I was hoping that this coin would rise in this bull run but it's not going as I expected. As some other member suggested, even if the FUN token never reaches the same price again as before, you will still end up in profit because of the premium membership if you hold it long enough.
If you bought this coin when the price was 0.035 on average, you won't profit, premium membership only gives you 25% APY and it would take years to get 100% of your investment back. The price is also going down, which is making it almost impossible to profit. Your profit with the FUN token depends on the time you bought it and the price during that time. As with anything to do with the altcoin markets only the early investors reap the highest amount in profits. So if you got in when they started, assuming the tokens were worth a tenth of a penny. Then you made alot of profit so far. Even if one token is worth around half a penny each now. I remember when I was gambling like crazy on multiplier game during promo days. RPs received every 500 satoshis wagered were raised by x5, so I was able to hit the 100,000 RPs mark really fast. I made 200,000 or 300,000 RPs in a single day once. At same time it's great and makes you feel good, it's also dangerous, because it starts increasing the invincibility feeling inside you. Profit is made so easily and instantly, that you think nothing can stop you anymore, so you progressively get less and less shy on the game, risking higher and higher, until finding out you were just a mortal, like everyone else.
In the end, all the extra RPs, cashback, Golden Tickets and lottery tickets received aren't enough to overcome your total loss on long term. They are just baits to keep you gambling further. Freebitco.in can be really profitable, and thankfully it has been to me, but if that is your goal, you have to stay away from the gambling boards...
But you invested $5000 according to the OP. Thirty satoshis almost a year and a half ago were worth alot less than they are now. So at what price per token did you start to invest?

That is just how crazy this NCAAB season can be this month going into the next.
That reminds me of the crazy comebacks that can happen in this tournament since I used to see clips where they would chuck it from the other side of the court and make it. Those are usually throw it as hard as they can type shots without much control. This player in the clip took their shot like he was shooting it from his own three not from the opposite end of the court and opponent's three zone. That is what this tournament brings with it for March! Here is the bracket for the NCAA March Madness tournament starting tonight in Ohio: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F03%2F19%2FJYBnq.jpeg&t=665&c=baxmQkS8IlMdLA) UConn & Purdue are the first seeded teams this year so expect to see them go far! https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/usa/ncaa-regular/matches

Imperial esports were so close to bring a first major win for sportsbet but so far so good as this team is very talented and can grow a lot. Meanwhile , the other brazilian team had a rough day today with Furia losing against Lynn Vision...a team who had x7 odds to win before the game started.
Was watching some of the open stage qualifiers from Copenhagen earlier today and seen Apeks playing. They are good and will be facing Imperial Esports tomorrow bright and early: https://www.hltv.org/matches/2370611/imperial-vs-apeks-pgl-cs2-major-copenhagen-2024-opening-stageHeroic did beat Imperial by a close margin, so yeah the Sportsbet.io team are improving and just hope they can make it far in this Major once it gets started as these were the opening stage matches. True true. Brazilian cs is shifting from Furia being the best team towards Imperial Esports being the best brazilian cs team right now and I love it. Now , a bit of news from Dota 2 scene where Team Spirit just lost the series against VP and I must say this patch is really not suiting Spirit at all and I'm afraid they won't perform great this year. Imperial Esports are doing quite well this tournament in the opening stage. They beat ENCE convincingly then beat Apeks. These are just BO1 maps so far but the RMR13 seems to suit their teams fast pace better. So they are on a roll starting this tour in the PGL Majors.

Okay, that was freaking amazing.
Tuivasa's elbows are crazy strong, he cut Tybura in just a minute of Round 1. But he made lots of mistakes. First, he let Tybura fake him until he got his hands to take him down. Tuivasa tried a good defensive stance but Tybura used all his power just to carry him, strong man. Another mistake is giving his back. I don't know what he is thinking but that mistake cost him the fight. His option was just to let the time run out while being down and facing him in half defense. It's better if you are looking at your opponent and can see what he is trying to do than giving you back to him without any view of what is happening. Tybura did a great job, he knows the enemy is the time so he finished it quickly.
Other than the three fighters missing weight it turned out not to be that bad. The major upset was Ovince St. Preux winning his match as he was one of the oldest fighters going against an up and comer of the UFC in Kennedy Nzechukwu who was unbelievably 1.15x odds to win. But experience seemed to be on St. Preux's side for this bout. He took all of Nzechukwu's heavy blows and then some. Well deserved win of the night for the big underdog! The most controversial fights of the night was certainly Bryan Battle vs Ange Loosa. After the eyepoke Ange said he couldn't see only after less than a minute. The referee didn't even mention to him he had a full 5 minutes to recover so to see if he can continue on with the fight. But it was called off since he said he can't see out of that eye. Battle was winning the match and was obviously very upset after this result because he said Loosa took the chickens way out knowing he was losing the fight. So it was declared a no contest, so no bonus for Battle either. That is what made him mad the most since he spent so much time in training just to have this NC and on his record due to someone not taking the full amount of time to recover. Tybura had this match as soon as he was able to get Tuivasa off his feet. Tai has a terrible ground game and is probably going to get choked out if he is taken down. As was the case with how this main event went. So good for Marcin Tybura on winning and surviving those brutal elbows at the very beginning.

Well then that aligns well with everything mentioned by F1 media with them seeking a new driver or drivers. The team needs a serious overhaul before next season as they are one of the worse teams from what the first two races of the season has shown. Them and Alpine which I think they are slightly worse. ~snip~
We have seen Haas drivers in places near the middle of the grid in the races we have left behind. However this is still not like a big success. Haas would really make use of a good improvement to not lose these places in future races at least. Of course they need a lot of money for that and I can't say Haas is one of the rich teams currently. I have heard that Haas also wants to make this improvement as strong as possible to not give a seat to a rookie in a problematic car. As for Alpine, this start is just terrible. If they can't keep up with other teams the number of points they collect would be likely to much less than the previous season - it was 120 points in total in 2023. They are in sixth place in the constructor's championship so far. They are doing something. But agreed with you if they want to welcome a rookie driver to their team they need to improve their cars. So to not continue the trend on to him. Since he would be like a clean slate and not want to tarnish any aspirations they would want to bestow upon him in a problematic machine. Maybe the recent firings from Haas will change things up for the better as the season progresses.

Carlos got the better of Sinner to reach the finals. Sinner won the first set but Carlos made a comeback to win the semis. Now, Medvedev is playing shockingly poorly during the first set, losing the set 1-6 against Tommy Paul. 2nd set is on the way. Medvedev is still the favourite to win the match, after losing the first set. 1.8x on him, might be a decent gamble. Medvedev if he fixes his shortcomings, he has a bigger upsides than Tommy Paul.
What is wrong with Medvedev? Thought he played alot better than the way he is looking now into the second set of the finals. He is playing poorly just like he did during the match yesterday against Paul in the first set. Carlos Alcaraz is looking like he will take this Indian Wells final the way he has been playing with those amazing shots. Just like his match against Sinner, his form is 100% and showing how good those aerobatic skills of his really are. Can't see this one going into another tie breaker as with the first set. Carlos is currently dominating Daniil with being up 4-1 in the second set.

United rewarded with a great semifinal draw - they play Coventry while City and Chelsea battle it out for the other finalist.
This is called FA Cup magic, but dont underestimate and wright off Coventry so easy, they are the last remaining Championship team. Man United is in better form now but I would not trust them or bet on them with small odds. This is a big chance for both teams to save this season so everyone will be motivated. What a couple of matches to watch over the weekend. First with Coventry beating Wolves that was the shocker to witness because Wolverhampton were leading in regular time and then concede both goals in injury time. Now today seeing Liverpool taking the lead into extended time I thought it was sealed for the victory. But then Diallo scoring both goals separated by a minute each was very unexpected to take Man Utd with the win. These type of matches if you had any skin in the games, you would be sweating pools watching.

Solana memecoins have surpassed everyones expectations. It will make them the alternative way to deal with these type of coins since the only way had been to use the ethereum network. But as many had experienced the high gas fees were making them un-usable. Hundreds of dollars to send an altcoin with no utility such as a dog inspired coin doesn't make much sense.
Think Solana has reached $190 on the news about such projects in the memecoin space having exploded such as BONK, WIF and even Shiba Inu in the past week.
So let this new blockchain infrastructure have the memecoins and NFT space instead of the Bitcoin network with those inscriptions clogging up the bitcoin blockchain.

@arallmuus They gave out the freebets to the ZED run promotion early yesterday. And yes, you would of needed to deposit to receive the freebets because I had done two deposits during the week and received two $50usdt separate freebets only to be used to bet on ZED run.
So it depends on how many deposits that I made during the week? Dang, imagine if you got 5 of them after making 5 deposits. So how much did you deposit on each session? Anyway I just made a small deposit so I should be eligible for the next free bet on friday it seems, even getting $20 would be good enough to bet on Zed Run. Will it appear on my rewards tab or do I need to click on that opt-in button again? Yes it would be also be based on how many deposits from what is stated on their promotions page shown below: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F03%2F17%2FJFPxq.jpeg&t=665&c=tokOM54ETyK_OA) "Earn more rewards with every deposit." But of course you need to make a worthy one such as 1mbtc and bet the entire amount of those deposits before they would consider giving the reward. I am certain they manually review each accounts eligibility to make sure each one is legitimately rewarded. And yes, I believe $20 would be the minimum given from what others have said about the discussion on their reward amount on this promotion so far.
