I will follow two of your picks here are mine for today's game

Minnesota Lynx(2.50) VS Connecticut Sun(1.56)

The arena will be at Target Center home of the Minnesota Lynx, Aerial Powers has an ankle injury, Jessica Shepard has an illness, Dorka Juhasz has a nose injury,  Diamond Miller has an ankle injury, and Natalie Achonwa has personal problems and all can not play for the Lynx, while Brionna Jones has a leg injury and can not play for the Sun, for this game a great record on paper for the Sun, and they also have an advantage with the injuries because the Lynx has many injuries right now I think I will go with the Connecticut Sun



Seattle Storm(1.94) VS Indiana Fever(1.69)

The arena will be at Climate Pledge Arena home of the Seattle Storm, Arella Guirantes has an illness and can not play for the Seattle Storm, Grace Berger has an ankle injury, and is doubtful if she can play for the Fever, and Aliyah Boston has a calf injury, Victoria Vivians has a Concussion, and Bernadett Hatar is Suspended, all can not play for the Fever, For this game the Indiana Fever is the favorite to win but for me, I will be going with the Seattle Storm for this game,

Nice! share PFL 6 but with the regular season, for me, I just like two fights, and for the rest, I don't have any idea who they are Olivier Aubin-Mercier VS Anthony Romero for this fight I am looking forward to the Canadian Gangster Olivier Aubin-Mercier to perform well against Anthony Romero but for sure Romero has a fight IQ that shouldn't ignore, both fighters are well-rounded but I really like the experience and explosiveness of Olivier Aubin-Mercier and with this fight for me he got a great answer for Romero, while Magomed Magomedkerimov VS David Zawada will be epic aswell, David Zawada is a great fighter but for me, Magomed Magomedkerimov is a sensation to watch and maybe this will e one interesting fight,

Thanks, I also feel that the Main event and the Co-Main Event will surely be epic and Olivier Aubin Mercier's punches have accuracy he can surely knock someone out with that tenacity in his punch, while Anthony Romero has solid boxing, both are well-rounded but for me, Olivier Aubin Mercier has some power in his strikes, this could be a close match but I am leaning more on Olivier Aubin Mercier,

Did you guys see the OKTAGON 44 fight between Rafael Xavier VS Mateusz Strzelczyk, it was gut-wrenching to watch that fight, the fight was stopped because of a KO/TKO broken leg, a literally broken fractured leg, Rafael Xavier delivers a leg kick but I think Mateusz Strzelczyk Bones was already soft that when kicked by Rafael Xavier it was dislocated it was a loud snap and after Rafael Xavier seen the dislocated leg he immediately hold his head in shocked, here is the video from ScottishProblem Please watch with caution because the following video may contain Gruesome leg snap,


That is one nasty pop sound from his leg, and seeing it I was like I can feel his pain, no one wants that kind of injury because one can be paralyzed by it, for a long time, you can never work or go places for sure there is a prohibition in what to do, and a fighter can not provide for his family, seeing this I was really sad no one wants this to happen to his opponent, and Rafael Xavier is also worried about his opponent Mateusz Strzelczyk, aswell he wants to help but likely this is something that is not that easily can fixed,

That's Mayweather fight bring money to UFC and Dana. I don't think he regrets it. But you think its also the reason why Dana is not setting up Ngannou and Fury despite Ngannou asking for it and was trying to disappoint Nganou instead.

Its a mistake after another mistake though because he is also a determined stubborn. Ngannou still will get some boxing fights thru PFL.

It could be a wrong decision for Dana White but I think he is just torn about what he can do about something surely he can not change what is happening now because Francis Ngannou doesn't like his offer, but when PFL accepted his terms I think Dana White doesn't like it so he is doing everything in his power to make headlines aswell, and surely disappointing Ngannou is one of it, and like the saying goes, the damage has already been done,


I can say it was a pretty good match. Cannorior, one of the two middleweight names who had the opportunity to go to the belt again, was the one who made the most of this opportunity. During the match, Vettori was really slow compared to his speed, yes, he was durable, but he had no footwork and Vettori was not successful in distance.

Cannoier was superior in terms of kicks, direct hit and takedowns in the match, the judges scored the match quite correctly and gave Cannoier the match he deserved. Meanwhile, Cannoier's shots were quite accurate and hard, only because Verotti was durable, the shots did not seem very hard.

It was really an outstanding fight Marvin Vettori is hitting Cannonier if Jared was on southpaw, but switching to orthodox was the time Vettori gets in trouble with those volume strikes, I really think that Jared Cannonier has taken the record with the help of Marvin Vettori's durability as well if Vettori was easily knockout then the record would not be broken by Jared Cannonier, If there is a separate record for the most eaten strikes for the Middleweight aswell, then Vettori can also get a record because if not for him Cannonier would not attain such record,

Finally I can Ferrari had a solid strategy who placed both drivers in important points for the team and I do hope I will see them keeping the same inspiration for next races as well.

The Ferrari team still needs to improve to get to the point where they are not making any mistakes anymore but I think the Engineers also need to adjust the F1 machines aswell The car is constantly bouncing and that in my opinion has making the car out of control Ferrari is constantly spinning or sometimes going into wrong corners, maybe it is on the car,

Max drove without any mistakes today and it was a well deserved win and being on the same number with Senna on victories means a lot for us the fans and I hope it will mean something for him too.


Max Verstappen doesn't seem to make any mistakes at all not unlike Sergio Perez that is having quite a hard time after that Monaco GP mistakes his mischief keeps going on, by not landing on the podium, although they have the same RB19 the talent is really exceptional to Max Verstappen,

Right now  Cristian Horner puts Verstappen among the great by equaling the late Ayrton Senna’s 41 career race wins I think the Flying Dutchman also feels the same, Ayrton Senna is one of the greats and if not for that tragic event I think he will keep on racing up today,



Did you see the video of Max Verstappen hitting a bird, imagine hitting a bird and he feels sorry about his mechanic, having to remove it, here are the videos if you guys haven't seen it

Here is the Video of Max hitting a bird while leading the Canadian Grand Prix

^   And Emmet is getting old, if not just plain old for a fighter in his weight class at 39.  Lower weight classes can't get away with what the heavy weights can get away with in terms of getting over 35.

And Emmet has taken a lot of damage in his career.  I wouldn't be surprised if Topuria knocks him out around R3...

Anyway, this event looks more like a parlayable one with most of the favorites possibly getting the W.

UFC Free Fight:  Emmet vs Burgos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTiPhsugyDI

For me, at 38 years old Josh Emmett still has it in him, well not a slick movement but still you can really not underestimate Josh Emmett if it comes to brawls and if a fighter is a likely brawler and is not really aiming for that technicality of the fight Josh Emmet could win this but against Ilia Topuria it is a different story Ilia Topuria is a different kind of beast for sure when it comes to fighting IQ the level of Yair Rodriguez will be upon him and the durability of Yair will be upon him for sure, and it is never a surprise if Topuria Knocks Emmett up because that is what I likely as expecting,


Vettori showed early aggression in the battle with Cannonier which was unquestionably fierce from the start. Even though Cannonier blows may not have initially appeared to be visually devastating it soon became clear that they were landing efficiently as the fight went on. Vettori despite occasionally connecting well found it difficult to take advantage of those opportunities whereas his precision and accuracy were remarkable.

Both competitors gave it their all in the ring in terms of activity appearing ready to do whatever it takes to win. Many viewers had been hoping for a knockout or at the very least for a combatant to be rendered unconscious but Vettori and Cannonier both displayed remarkable toughness and resiliency. It is evidence of their fortitude and their high level of talent. Fans were on the edge of their seats the entire time as the fight was hotly contested.

Was really at the beginning of the fight Marvin Vettori was basically aggressive towards the fight it was really evident that he is throwing his body in this fight but soon as Jared Cannonier finds a true opening but at 1st it was Vettori landing those shots at Cannonier, this is when Jared Cannonier was on the southpaw, that Vettori was landing those shots, but when Jared Cannonier switch to the Orthodox it was time for Jared Cannonier's retaliation and gives a hell of beating to Marvin Vettori those takedowns was to control Vettori and I really thought that Marvin Vettori is the one that will control Cannonier when it comes to wrestling but it was the other way around, Jared Cannonier got the volume of strikes, the power on his strikes and even the control over wrestling he was well-rounded and was so much for Marvin Vettori,

That's it the fight I am waiting and has been canceled and rescheduled in this spot, Ilia Topuria and Josh Emmett fight this is going to be a banger of a fight Josh Emmett is ranked 5th and was destroyed by Yair Rodriguez with a triangle choke, while Ilia Topuria is ranked 9th and doesn't have any losses yet, and for me, this fight will be liked the Yair Rodriguez VS Josh Emmett fight, and if Emmett has learned something from that previous lost he attain he can surely apply his given answer against Ilia Topuria because just like Yair Rodriguez, Ilia Topuria is actually trickier with that ground game and fight IQ even some mistakes he can likely see an opportunity he can throw to his opponent,

I also like Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber a great power thing fight that could likely go the distance, or really I like girl power thing and this fight could surely show that women can also give it a go to some that men can do, and this fight is an interesting one and could be a close one aswell,

the mutant lost. i think make would expect him to lose as well due to his age. but there is no retirement announcement. not very fan of bellators so whoever he may fight next, he'd better hope he's older than him

it's different when it's cannonier, he just slam vettori to the ground. there were rumors already of him to be given a title shot against Izzy. seem very early but a rematch with Strickland might be possible before the title shot.



But still a good performance for both fighters I really think Yoel Romero have showcased that he still has it with his age, he is surely exceptional while fighting Nemkov he didn't show signs of aging at all this is really different with Romero, his athleticism just skyrocket but his performance and technique is the one that didn't improve at all so in that fight with rare talent like Yoel Romero it is really a waste for him, because he is not enhancing his game,

Great fight between Vettori and Cannonier. Cannonier has a strong head, because he ate nice punches in first round, but Vettori’s head probably is either empty, or is a solid stone. How can he survived all those strikes in second round? Total beating by Cannonier. Btw, thanks to Vettori, Cannonier set record of most accented strikes in ufc history.

It was a wonderful fight and yes, thanks to Marvin Vettori's solid-as-stone chin Jared Cannonier has gotten the most Significant Strikes for a Middleweight If his opponent will not be Vettori he would never get this kind of record because the fight will surely been finished In the 1st round,



Result for my picks for the UFC Fight Night: Vettori VS Cannonier

Marvin Vettori (1.80) VS Jared Cannonier (2.02) - LOST

I thought that Marvin Vettori will likely dominate the ground by controlling Cannonier, but it was the opposite way, Jared Cannonier now has a takedown and I was totally surprised about this he was likely training takedowns, and he also said that he has a lot to show and always thinking that Israel Adesanya lost, he surely wants to out strike Adesanya this time, but breaking the record of most significant strikes, a truly amazing feat, but yeah it was possible because of Vettori's durable chin, that likely withstanding the power shots of the Killa Gorilla, it was a lost but Vettori fight well,

Arman Tsarukyan (1.09) VS Joaquim Silva (7.60) - WIN

There is no surprise in this result but Tsarukyan is simply losing the 1st round Joaquim Silva also landed a hard shot at Tsarukyan at the beginning of the fight but it was all in vain when Tsarukyan retaliated with a takedown then the elbow ground and strike was pretty much the thing that taken Joaquim Silva to sleep,

My commentators were keep saying that Ferrari is the best car on straights and I was laughing so hard in front of my TV. Like ...I know they are Ferrari fans because I am too , but I'm realistic and I know for a fact that Ferrari's car right now is not even a top 3 in F1 and if McLaren keep pushing with great updates , I'm afraid Ferrari won't be even a top 4 by the end of the season.

More than this , Leclerc seems to gave up on his dreams to win a championship with Ferrari and he might need a mind reset soon because nothing is working for him and Ferrari... . Rumors of him to Mercedes or Audi are just rumors and nothing more.

I am a Ferrari fan aswell but seeing how the Ferrari performing right now they keep on making mistakes if not mistakes poor decision-making in switching tires surely there are many Ferrari fans out there I really think this is because of the influence of Michael Schumacher when he was on Ferrari, and for me he was really the face of Ferrari back then until he changes team back then before he becomes disabled because of a Skiing incident,

Well, Charles Leclerc wants to be successful, and if he is not going to get this with Ferrari then he could have gotten it with other teams like Mercedes, Aston Martin, or even Red Bull if they still want Sergio Perez,

Who's getting excited about the race? Can't believe after all the drama with Sainz he still ends up above Leclerc, and yeah boltz people still think Ferrari is the beast lol


I am excited about the race now that the gap is really closing against Red Bull, with Mercedes, Aston Martin, maybe Ferrari, Alpine, and Alpha Tauri, I really think getting into so much change with their upgrades and now that the flooring of the Red Bull and the Mercedes was revealed to the other teams I think some teams are likely upgrading their cards or maybe secretly upgrading their cars, we can surely elaborately say that they are,

Right now as I am posting this the Race is in motion and it is now in Lap 70 as I am seeing it and the Race will surely end any minute now, as I am posting this.

That was an epic main event between Cannonier and Vettori, Cannonier breaking the record for the significant strikes landed but that wasn't even enough to put Vettori off his feet, that guy definitely built different, If the game had gone on like typical boxing game with 12 rounds, I believe their could have been a window for Vettori to aim for a knockout, because no ones stays up after receiving such amount significant battering without seeking their own opportunity window. Congratulations to Cannonier too for being able to turn the game completely around after losing the first round to go on to win the remaining 4 consecutive ones. This exactly is what every main event is suppose to seem like, EPIC!!!

It was a breaking-record fight for Jared Cannonier as he sets the record for the most significant strike in a middleweight fight surely his strike volume really did increase and goes to the roof while Marvin Vettori really has durability going with the fight that I think made Jared Cannonier struggle because of the impressive chin of Vettori, surely he has done everything in his power to knockout Vettori and I think it also adds up for Cannonier to break the record the awesome durability of Marvin Vettori,

Owengtam09 was correct. It was a night of the underdogs as it seemed the higher odds fighters won most of the night.


Congratulations on your winnings but likely seeing the cards and who's going to fight I was really surprised aswell, but yeah it was likely many in this event has some potential that are underdog, so it was unlikely a underdog paradise if you likely want to bet for the Underdog,



Result of my picks and prediction,

Marvin Vettori (1.80) VS Jared Cannonier (2.02) - LOST

I thought that Marvin Vettori will likely dominate the ground by controlling Cannonier, but it was the opposite way, Jared Cannonier now has a takedown and I was totally surprised about this he was likely training takedowns, and he also said that he has a lot to show and always thinking that Israel Adesanya lost, he surely wants to out strike Adesanya this time, but breaking the record of most significant strikes, a truly amazing feat, but yeah it was possible because of Vettori's durable chin, that likely withstanding the power shots of the Killa Gorilla, it was a lost but Vettori fight well,

For me, there is a fight and a chance for Yoel Romero to get the Light Heavyweight belt for Bellator and be the oldest 46 years old champion,
This looks like a great Bellator event, maybe one of the best they had in months.
It is always interesting to watch Yoel Romero fight, despite his old age he looks to be in amazing shape for 46 years old fighter.
I am giving advantage to Nemkov and I think he is going to win, but it could be a good idea to put few satoshis on big underdog like Romero.

Co-main event Sergio Pettis vs Patricio Pitbull is worth watching and even prelim fights should not be missed.
Pettis is doing great since he came to Bellator but my bet is on favorite Pitbull.


It was a great fight and I totally missed making my prediction and picks for the event, it was shocking Yoel Romero despite his unusual body being 46 years old never seems like a 46 years old fighter, and right now I really believe the doctor that has said his unusual body structure, but his level of fighting is still the same as Israel Adesanya he never really care to upgrade and learn from his past fights, this is really hard for Yoel Romero he seems not listening to his corner that is why I never see him winning a technical fighter that has studied his opponent, he just clash with Nemkov even though he won't stand a chance against him, for me he should have gone with the takedown on the start of the fight, I was totally confused in what he is doing and the new thing he did with the fight is just lay Possum,

While Sergio Pettis likely gave Patricio Pitbull a hard time Pitbull thinks he has won the fight and Pettis thought that he lost it, for me he got a good fighting game, and I thought I missed an opportunity that I didn't make my bet,


I'm not really familiar with most of the match ups except for the main event, the co main and the Anderson vs Davis match up.  I think if Yoel Romero shows up like he was when he fought Robert Whittaker, he could make the fight really close.  Nemkov's TD defense improved as shown in the second fight vs Corey Anderson but Romero's wrestling is on another level.  He could be a problem imho.  Let's see if his cardio holds up tho.  Like you said, he's already 46. 

I should've bet my Sportsbet free bet on Romero instead of Rodriguez.  Grin


Well all I needed in this event was the Main and the Co-main only and I totally missed the event I thought it was the same date and time as the UFC Fight Night Cannonier VS Vettori, well that two fights really entertaining fight to watch, and on rund 5 Yoel Romero has easily pulled a takedown against Nemkov feet that he can easily do because of his Athleticism but he should have done that in the start of the fight Yoel Romero might have won this fight and ditch the Drunken Possum Technique that is not effective against Vadim Nemkov,

674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: June 17, 2023, 11:53:33 PM
Now I remember seeing this fight night being featured with Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria advertised months ago.
Thanks for reminding me which of the main event bout was cancelled both @owengtam09 & @jakelyson !


Yup! and Ilia Topuria was the likely favorite to win that fight for sure I really think that just like Yair Rodriguez this is a great match to see Rodriguez did a great job in getting that volume of strikes to win the fight and carrying it to the Submission he likely has time that on Josh Emmett cracking him open to execute that triangle choke, for me Ilia Topuria is like Yair Rodriguez he is a calculating dude and his fight IQ is really amazing this is what I likely seeing on what may happen to that next fight looking at Yair Rodriguez win this is likely the path where Topuria could get a win over Emmett,


After looking at the odds right now it does look like I picked most of the underdogs to win on my betslip now. Grin
With the premlims starting with the first match in the next 15 minutes I can't see the lines changing anymore than they already have over the past few days. For instance, I had one of my biggest backing the underdog pick with Cannonier at 1.94x when I placed the bet but now he is around over 2.14x

Anyways, we will see how it all goes down in the next 4-6 hours from now. Hoping with the former since I yearn for alot of knockouts in this fight night!
Here are the lines:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-vettori-vs-cannonier/matches

I really think that underdogs now are very popular to bet on and with this kind of combat sport you will never know who's really going to win, and with that slight idea that this guy could beat the other guy we tend to go with that scenario in betting but betting on the underdog is pretty much common to get a large sum towards that risk you take, a great example is on the last event the UFC 289 Nunes VS Aldana, Charles Oliveira is the underdog over Beneil Dariush and Oliveira won that fight, same goes with Jasmine Jasudavicius and was the underdog against Miranda Maverick and she wins that via decision and lastly with Diana Belbiţă against Maria Oliveira and won it via decision again,

Thanks for the recommendation but I don't really watch things either lol I know people hate me when I say sorry, no Twitter, no Youtube, no Netflix etc but trust me it's for my own good. After spending half day in office facing computer and doing nothing but typing, I would go home, and arriving home doing the exact same thing facing computer. And when travelling the same, facing screen. Sometimes even sleep a few hours because of addiction.

Now I only come online from work after my shift. Sometimes on my phone, forum, but I make sure it's not social media just things like this forum and news. And even football and sports, watch outside, must be with friends chatting, so I can't sit forever and get addicted.


So sorry to hear that, No offense but maybe you need psychiatric attention, but well if you can control it well maybe you don't need any therapy at all, Social Media surely is a wild thing that happens to people with online access and it also becomes very complicated to some extent they are living in an unrealistic Multi-Media platform if you would look at most Youtuber's Vlogs you will get what I am saying people tend to have video's that are unrealistic nowadays just to get payments, so you are right to not go with social media and become addicted towards it,



Practice 3 Canadian Grand Prix 2023

Carlos Sainz spins on the track and crashes into the barriers ripping his front wings in the process and getting a red flag but still, he got a great time even though he crashes In practice 3 and also Alexander Albon is not happy with Carlos Sainz keeping on popping in front of him all the time and Carlos Sainz may get a penalty because of this, but still in an investigation, and finishing 6th in the Practice 2 the Flying Dutchman Max Verstappen has a great condition with the wet floor while using the intermediate green tires for the wet, but with issues in his gearbox while Fernando Alonzo is calling Yuki Tsunoda a blind guy while getting in front of Alonzo, Well here is the result of the P3 for the Canadian GP 2023,

Yup! It is starting in a few hours so it better post it here before that happens so here is my pick and prediction about the fight that I have posted in another thread, so likely I will just copy and paste it here and I just have 2 picks for this fight so it is not a big of a deal to not make any mistakes but I really don't like the other fights,

Marvin Vettori (1.80) VS Jared Cannonier (2.02)

Both these fighters have a hard time with Israel Adesanya well Jared Cannonier said he would likely Ko'ed Izzy but to no success and Marvin Vettori would ground and pound him but it was to naught because their all was unsuccessful Israel Adesanya clearly has a high fight IQ than the two, food takedown defense is likely what he has, for me Jared Cannonier is a good striker his blitz and kicks has the reach advantage but Marvin Vettori has reasonable control over the ground and he can indeed ground and pound Jared Cannonier in this situation,

Arman Tsarukyan (1.09) VS Joaquim Silva (7.60)

For me, Joaquim Silva is a nobody and I really don't know him at all but Arman Tsarukyan is likely a different story for me Arman Tsarukyan was really fantastic in many fields in this sports and for sure he has some advantage with playing field for me I would be biased for this but I will likely not going to bet for this fight because it will not be going to be profitable because the odds was too much for Tsarukyan, but my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,

CANCELLED FIGHT

Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria - the fight was rescheduled and will be happening on 06/24/2023 and they will now be the main event for that event that is going to be called UFC Fight Night Jacksonville,


I would love to see Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria right for sure but it was rescheduled for the next event and because of that Marvin Vetorri VS Jared Cannonier becomes the main event, surely next event Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria will be in the main event, well for that fight I really want to see Ilia Topuria fight, his fight IQ was really superb and could likely be a great asset for the UFC and gaining momentum in having a title shot in the future,

Here are the results of my picks and it is not awesome aswell, both bet was an upset and a lost for me,

Connecticut Sun (1.25) VS Atlanta Dream (3.55) - LOST

A close game this is what I want to say about this game and what has happened, surely DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas, and Brionna Jones did their all seeing their game scores and stats but I was really shocked when the Atlanta Dreams turned the tables and to the different direction, Allisha Gray did a great job is in getting this team and doing what is possible to do that 10 rebounds and 27 points have come in handy for her, it was an upset and many was surprise by the result,

Chicago Sky (1.77) VS Indiana Fever (1.94) - LOST

Another close game and with just 2 points the Indiana Fever just pull an upset on the Chicago Sky, it was really shocking to see this go down to this and I was really frustrated that it did, all the answer was there for the Chicago Sky to win this game maybe because of so many injuries but for me, Marina Mabrey and Dana Evans done too well with this game but still they failed and because the Indiana Fever came to top and have some spread for them to win,

Since I don't really understand F1 very well, I can only follow the results, and it seems to me other than 1 race so far where starting grid is affecting, practice doesn't affect the overall podium chances. We have had upgrades before, we have had good performance in practice and still podium is more or less predictable. But you're right. Podium 2/3 is where we all hope for something different.

Actually, I am really new to the F1 race, I just get familiar with the Teams, Drivers, past and present updates, and race, right now every day is learning about F1 even the car mechanic and what car is the fastest could be determined with Practices, and qualifying, before the race, and for this I just tend to be updated with the latest news and even the past races can surely give you knowledge about the Track or Circuit changes and rebuild turn or curve, but there is no pressure to this it just adds up to the learning,

Well, Practice can pretty much determine the speed and the position a driver will likely have going to the Race, and to test a certain Track or Circuit and familiarize with it is a talent that some racers have and Max Verstappen has exceptional Skills like that,




Wow! Sebastian Vettel was young in that photo, even Fernando Alonzo is younger in the photo, such rare sight, and actually, I really don't know Felipe Massa but I look into it and he retired in 2016 end of the season, and he just like Massa, Mark Alan Webber also retired on 2016, the nice image I got to see the old photos and getting a glimpse of the past,

Well, if Slaman is not interested in browsing the old match in the F1 I suggest Watching the Documentaries of the past F1 races he can watch the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive episode series, if he likes it on a episode basis,
