Time to make my bet for the WNBA game tomorrow

Connecticut Sun (1.25) VS Atlanta Dream (3.55)

For this game, Connecticut Sun has 8 wins and 2 losses while Atlanta Dream has 3 wins and 5 losses, the Connecticut Sun doesn't have any injuries, while the Atlanta Dream has Aari McDonald, Danielle Robinson, and Iliana Rupert can not play for the Sun, for this game surely the Connecticut Sun is 100% going to the game and they also have the home court advantage playing at Mohegan Sun Arena, against the Atlanta Dream, for this game the advantage of the Sun surely is the favorite to win here and this will be a dominating match for them,



Chicago Sky (1.77) VS Indiana Fever (1.94)

For this game, Chicago Sky has 5 wins and 5 losses while the Indiana Fever has 3 wins and 6 losses, the Chicago Sky has Morgan Bertsch, Rebekah Gardner, Li Yueru, Isabelle Harrison, and Ruthy Hebard can not play for the Chicago Sky against the Fever, while the Indiana Fever has only Bernadett Hatar that is suspended, for this game the Sky has many injuries but still they are the favorite to win and likely could win in this game, but I will not be surprised if the Fever win this aswell, but I am not risking it, the Chicago Sky will take the home court advantage playing at Wintrust Arena, against the Indiana Fever, for this game I will not risk making a bet for the Fever so my pick is the Chicago Sky,

This fight should have been the trilogy had Pena not sustained an injury in training, a rib injury that took her out of the fight and had her replaced Irene Aldana. Amanda Nunes must have already plans that this was going to be her last fight considering the pressure from her mother to quit fighting and focus on her baby now that she's a mother. So if Pena had not been out, we would have seen this fight that we are not going to see now. Becoming a parent can change some things, and for Amanda Nunes, it is good decision.

Yes and now Julianna Peña is having the ball with saying that Amanda Nunes is scared of her because she retired after that Irene Aldana fight but Julianna Peña backed out because of her injury, now who is the real one running, I think Julianna Peña would just be grateful that Amanda Nunes is not around now she will have a chance to get the belt for her self, and she keeps on saying a thing about how Nunes retired, for me Irene Aldana and Julianna Peña fight could be a viable one to take for the route of a champion then Grasso could get up the division and make her shot, to become the double champion,


Amanda could come back if the offer is appealing. Dana could always make an offer if they see they can make money as well. Dana said he was happy about Nunes's retirement, is sour grapes. Of course, he knows he is losing profit.

It happens all the time to fighters who retire, they come back when an offer is more than enough.  Pena couldn't just get over with Nunes retiring, she just have to shout like a bitter bitch that can't move on. One thing that they learn from being rivals is that one will always remain a hater when they are not the last one who won the last fight.

Uncle Dana White can  not speak of ill things about Amanda Nunes retiring even though he doesn't like that idea, but surely if the price is right Amanda Nunes could return 1 last time, well if her money is depleted in a fast significant manner, and she doesn't invest it with some business it will surely deplete fast, then that is the time she could be back in the UFC with a good offer, or maybe she can give PFL a great chance and take the path for Francis Ngannou and for the Amanda Nunes VS Kayla Harrison fight, well this is all wishful thinking,

Charles truly deserves commendation? His unyielding resolve is truly admirable. In spite of finding himself on the ropes, he strategically forced Dariush to reassess his tactics with the deployment of his calculated elbow and hammer fist techniques. It certainly illustrates his unparalleled dedication, doesn't it?

Turning our attention to Nunes, her devotion is seemingly in a class of its own. She handles her twin championships with the tenderness of a mother. Yet, everyone deserves respite. Perhaps the moment has arrived for Nunes to transition from boxing gloves to the comfort of leisure footwear. One could argue that retirement would aptly crown her illustrious career, right?

As we look towards the future, what lies in store for Charles and Nunes? Will they persist in their athletic competition, or is it time for them to yield the stage to the forthcoming generation?

Charles Oliveira deserves a shot at the title for sure I will be seeing to it that he is the new and improved version and Islam Makhachev might be training right now after seeing this performance that Charles Oliveira did with Beneil Dariush but I guess Islam Makhachev has already improved so much because of what Alexander Volkanovski has done to him he outwrestled Makhachev in their fight for sure Makhachev will have an answer the next time they fight,

For sure Charles Oliveira will keep on battling inside the Octagon after that fight with Beneil Dariush and what he has said in the fight interview he has shouted who is the champion for sure he is ready for a rematch with Makhachev, while Amanda Nunes is free from fighting and have settled a great life with her family,

^  I don't think either of those guys will go on to get another title shot.  I guess the winner will get another top 5 guy while the loser will the thrown to a top prospect.  Lol.  As for Whittaker vs Du Plessis, I think Du Plessis gets a chance to fight for the belt due to being a new face at top 5 but Whittaker winning will make it iffy for the match makers.  He deserves another title shot imo but he already fight Adesanya twice and lost.  :/  I mean how could the UFC market Adesanya vs Whittaker 3?

Anyway, here's another fight replay.  Enjoy...

UFC Free Fight:  Canonnier vs Brunson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlGB3PuddUo

I agree, Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannoneer will always look for fights just because of the money for now if Israel Adesanya is still champion they can not attain the belt as long as Izzy is still here, and instead of going for the Hunter (Izzy) they will go with the easy fight for money, while the losses will be the gateway for the upcoming prospect of the Middleweight,

I mean how could the UFC market Adesanya vs Whittaker 3?

How many times Figueredo fought Moreno? How many times Conor fought Poirier ? Adesanya met Pereira 4 times... Cheesy It is so hard to get a title fight nowadays. Ranked guys dont want to fight unranked or those who are lower than they are. It is so stupid to see same guys fight each other again and again, that UFC should make a best of 3 or something like that to get a belt. Like NHL and NBA have in later part of tournament. (best of 3 or 5, I dont remember).

Fighting the top guys can assure a large sum of money even though if they lost that fight, or maybe they are getting those title shot fight expecting to defeat the champion this time with a lucky punch, or a fluke win, I don't really know what they are thinking but they surely want to give it a try even though they might end up losing it, but maybe your suggestion could be seen by the UFC as an idea for those boring same fights,

Ya ok we all know it's RB and Verstappen so instead does anyone believe Leclerc can take 2nd place out of nowhere or are we just safer to pick Alonso/Hamilton or one of the usual suspects?

As much as I picked Verstappen on pole+win I feel like we need to see a surprise to keep this season exciting.

Really want to bet on outside podium, any tips?

For me, I will be looking forward to Practice 1 to 3 1st before concluding whether anybody going to the Podium, Right now it is really hard to look at who's going to the Podium now that the cars or the other teams Machines are already on an upgrade we can assume that any team in the Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes, even the Alpine can make it to the Podium, I really think the Podium who's going into the Podium on the 2nd and 3rd place is more exciting to predict than predicting the 1st place of the Podium because we all know that Max Verstappen is always Triumphant with that position,



Right now June 16, will be the Start of Practice 1 and Practice 2  June 17, will be Practice 3 and Qualifying, and June 18, is the Race, for sure there is a lot to talk about there could be many that could be bored with how Red Bull Max Verstappen is dominating the race every time but we need to know that this dominance is the level of every driver needs to attain to make it on top the Driver Brilliance, Skills, Talent, and technique added up to the Engineering Brilliance and how good the mechanical every team have, it is the effort of teamwork combined with the Driver and the Engineering team will surely be needed for the race,

Here are some great videos to listen to on what we are about to see in the upcoming Canadian GP

This is true but the effort they put into cameras to just spy on the other team is massive.
Toto already said this is the 1st step they did and by the end of the year their car will be very similar to RBR.

About the underskin you are right but since the engines are very similar right now, the most effective this is aerodynamics.

I was shocked about the resemblance that the RB19 and the W14 floor, the Mercedes really wants to copy the RB19 for sure well who doesn't want a similar machine like the RB19, well now that the air is clear I think the Canada GP is on the horizon and we will now see a race this weekend, let's see if both Mercedes W14 podium winning was not a fluke or if they can manage to out speed Max Verstappen and you are right Aerodynamics will be a crucial factor for this race,

We have finally seen the floor Red Bull's car as well indeed. However Verstappen didn't seem worried about anything and just said that they were going to use a completely different floor in a couple of races so there was no problem. But I don't see it that simple still. The rival teams should definitely do something about it after seeing the photo of the floor. Because there is a really huge gap to close for the rest of the teams. Red Bull have been a lot faster on straights than any team on the grid for example.

Even Ferrari's slightly better performance at corners isn't enough to catch up with a Red Bull car. Let's see if we will witness any big improvement from Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin teams in the near future.

I think lMax Verstappen is the real deal driver I truly believe that even though I really like the Ferrari getting their way to the podium or winning this time, I guess we can not take away what Verstappen is really doing with all his winnings so far, even though Sergio Perez has the same RB19 machine Max Verstappen still gets in the top while Perez is likely making mistakes right now doing errors with the corners and his recent fiasco of getting red flag in the qualifying round, I don't really know what may happen to Sergio Perez and if he's going to get back for the Canada GP,

Charles never fails to keep your excitement up all through out the game. Even when Charles is down there he still manages to throws elbow and hammer fist to Dariush making him think twice of his plans. When Dariush got the head kick and saw Charles right close to him, he panics right away.

Nunes is too intimidating for Aldana, she just watch Nunes do her thing. At 35 and with two belts still with her, I think its also a good time for Nunes to retire.

It was a crazy fight and Beneil Dariush doesn't really expect that from Charles Oliveira, Oliveira really delivers the message to the champion and Daniel Cormier has said that the champion Islam Makhachev Tweeted congratulates him and added that there are levels to this game, so I guess a rematch will surely be appropriate because Charles Oliveira was love by the Canadians and shouting his name when he said who is the champion, so I am really starting to be excited about what may happen in the future,

The only solid strike Irene Aldana was able to connect was in the first round, there was a moment when i thought Amanda Nunes would gas out but Irene Aldana did not pick up the pace and it is sad to see that Amanda Nunes announced her retirement as i wanted to see the rubber match between Julianna Peña as she is the only person that could defeat Amanda Nunes.

Domination was the right word for this Irene Aldana stopped after that 1st round realizing that she can not win against Amanda Nunes, and that is why it has happened pretty much I am a solid fan of women empowering but Amanda Nunes is just overpowered that it seems impossible for an Irene Aldana to become champion while she is around and right now because of her sudden retirement waiting for a new UFC women Bantamweight champion,

I really love seeing it and right now he is now speaking English which is why many people are interested in him now, it only proves that the UFC really has a quality of fighters on it, and talking even though Charles Oliveira was underneath he was still winning the striking giving elbow to Dariush while in that position shows the huge thing Charles Oliveira improves,

While Amanda Nunes is a solid fighter it just goes to show even though Irene Aldana has done everything she can to get the belt she still can not manage to do her thing,

Well, I think Irene Aldana's game plan was to knock out Amanda Nunes, and seeing that plan doesn't work on Nunes and that Amanda Nunes was so durable with Aldana striking even though that solid strike from Aldana connects it really did nothing to Nunes, I think this has failed Aldana to do something to Nunes that she has stopped from moving because her plan didn't work,

Results for the UFC 289, and the retirement of a double champion

Amanda Nunes(1.33) VS Irene Aldana(3.70) - WIN

Great win for Amanda Nunes and Irene Aldana can not do a thing about Nunes, the whole fight was a unanimous decision win for Amanda Nunes from Striking to the ground Amanda Nunes was dominating the fight becomes boring because you can see that Irene Aldana didn't really want to do something about Nunes, and after the fight Amanda Nunes has announced her retirement on the UFC cage, cutting her gloves and leaving it inside the Octagon,

Charles Oliveira(2.35) VS Beneil Dariush(1.68) - WIN

Beneil Dariush couldn't do anything about Charles Oliveira, and Oliveira is one step ahead of Dariush, from striking Charles Oliveira is doing it superbly and he technically doing it pretty well, even when it comes to the ground Charles Oliveira is doing it pretty much fine it was really the performance of the night and for this superb win Charles Oliveira deserves a shot at the title, against Islam Makhachev,

Mike Malott(1.49) VS Adam Fugitt(2.85) - WIN

Now another fight that has done a great finish, Mike Malott did it incredibly great dominating Fugitt from the striking, and after that heavy punch and Adam Fugitt is down he then get into a guillotine choke and I can tell that Choke was tight because Fugitt have tap to it immediately,

Nuggets is the team that have the best offense and best defense in the league. They don't only rely on Jokić, that's the best part. When Heat defend Murray and Jokić with 3 players, the others punish the defensive mistake. Aaron Gordon played his career game, Bruce Brown scored when all eyes on Murray and Jokić, KCP made two critical defense back to back and these all made the difference. Nuggets will finish this series at home, that's clear. And it's not Heat's fault, they faced against the best team in the NBA.

It means that the other Denver Nuggets players are not slack, this is bad news for the Miami Heat, and I guess some positions were been given to some players to be on the offense and the defense, for some purpose like this, and I think that the Denver Nuggets have made a great thing in giving Aaron Gordon the offensive position he deserves, this is not some shifting position but the other team members have stepped up to the occasion to their part in giving the Denver Nuggets the 3rd win in this finals,





Well in some news Miami Heat Mascot Burnie in some skit during the halftime of the NBA when McGregor is promoting his cooling pain relief spray Bernie a glove started to approach McGregor but the Irish MMA fighter suddenly punches up Burnie and then drops him on the ground to follow up another punch when I have witnessed it, looks like it is not just a controlled punch and maybe Conor McGregor is thinking that the Mascot will protect the person inside which is very difficult to tell, but that punch has power into it, the Man behind the Mascot has reportedly taken to the emergency room and was hospitalized, and have given a pain reliever and now are doing great at home, here is the link on Twitter of the assault on the Mascot https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1667358119561756673?s=20

Girl Issues. Grin Just kidding.
The hate is there, she said she is weak (Julianna) and the fighting skills are not for a champion. That trilogy should really happen but what if Nunes is defeated in this fight against Aldana? Will they still continue the rematch or retirement will be in the process? Because she said it, it came from her, she can retire if somebody else is holding the belt as long as it's not Pena.

For, I think Amanda Nunes wants a challenge and Julianna Peña is not cut for her anymore many don't really want a rematch again many want a different fighter to fight Amanda Nunes and for me, any fighter in that division will be bulldozed by Nunes raw strength, if only Kayla Harrison was on UFC or even Larissa Pacheco I think those two would be a match for the strength of Amanda Nunes, but surely maybe there is a fighter in the bottom rank that could likely be a match for her,

Check out how Dariush and Olivera looked during weight-ins. Oliveira cut more than needed and looked smiling, but Dariush was perfectly in limit of lightweight, but looked imho exhausted. If he is too much dehydrated, then he is in big troubles in a fight against an aggressive fighter that always pushes forward. It looks more and more that fight is not going to go full distance.

Beneil Dariush looks really tired, but maybe it is just his expression, and after that face-off, he leaves immediately I think he will surely ready something or feeling something and wants to leave early, or maybe you are right, and because Charles Oliveira looks happy and lively while shaking hands with Dariush I really think he is in his calm demeanor as always, but if you are right then the aggressive explosiveness of Oliveira will be very much viable in this fight and it is a good choice for me in taking the underdog Charles Oliveira,

Here are the results for my WNBA picks well I got 3 wins out of 4,

Atlanta Dream(3.05) VS New York Liberty(1.33) - WIN

Pretty the New York Liberty has got it ongoing from start to finish the New York Liberty has the lead all the way, and Breanna Stewart along with Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu have pretty much dominated the game while Courtney Vandersloot was also amazing in making a great play for the New York Liberty,

Minnesota Lynx(1.65) VS Indiana Fever(2.11) - LOST

My 1st loss was a close game but the Indiana Fever have gotten the lead in the 2nd half while the Minnesota Lynx got a great start in the 1st half the Fever still manage to turn the tables, Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride are kind of the only two for the Lynx, but the Fever have a great spread for this game with both player for the Fever getting a double-double, for both Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith and Kelsey Mitchell has the lead for the game and I lost this,

Dallas Wings(1.45) VS Phoenix Mercury(2.55) - WIN

The Phoenix Mercury has a great start in the 1st half but the Dallas Wings suddenly made a table turn for the win on the Dallas Wings, the Phoenix Mercury got a great spread and it was really a close game but the Dallas Wings Satou Sabally, Natasha Howard, and Arike Ogunbowale have a great turn of events to winning this game,

Los Angeles Sparks(1.58) VS Chicago Sky(2.24) - WIN

The Sparks were pretty much in the lead at the start of the game Chicago has fallen short while Kahleah Copper doesn't heated up for this game while the Los Angeles Sparks have made a great performance for this game,

UFC 289: Ceremonial Weigh-Ins happened 12 hours ago but still a nice touch to watch before the fights begin in about another 12 hours from now when the preliminary bouts start.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2NhFFXYgG8
Also included in this pre-UFC 289 event they had a question & answer session with Shevchenko, Pena and Jourdain:
UFC 30th Anniversary Q&A w/ Valentina Shevchenko, Charles Jourdain & More!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aFe4O2X3eo

Miranda Maverick is looking more cut than her last fight and expecting a win from her later on tonight.

Awesome something to watch while waiting for the fight to start, pretty much I was bored just watching the Weigh-ins because there is not much trash-talking that could pump and hype the fight but I guess there is no need for it, but anyway here are my picks and prediction with the Sportsbet odds for some of the fights in the UFC 289,


Amanda Nunes(1.33) VS Irene Aldana(3.70)

Super underdog odds for Aldana, likely seeing her be beaten by Nunes, it is just not fair but surely Irene Aldana has no choice she wants a title shot and likely wants to try it, but she is a boxer, if he doesn't have a great takedown defense this is going to be a dominant win for Amanda Nunes, but if Amanda Nunes is not fighting smart here she could likely eat Aldana's striking, but Amanda Nunes is very well rounded, so for this fight my pick is Amanda Nunes,

Charles Oliveira(2.35) VS Beneil Dariush(1.68)

Charles Oliveira for me is the most entertaining to watch than Beneil Dariush both fighters had a solid ground game, but Oliveira will surely go inside the cage with some entertainment value he will likely do some kicks great with his striking and great knowledge in the BJJ department, while Beneil Dariush would likely want to go on a route where there is a convenient to what he would do, likely he is a more technical fighter, and will likely wait for an opening, but Charles Oliveira will not wait for that he will be aggressive towards Dariush, for this fight my pick is Charles Oliveira,

Mike Malott(1.49) VS Adam Fugitt(2.85)

For me Mike Malott is a great fighter, he got a lot of entertaining fights that could go with knockout and submission, but man this kid is really entertaining to watch, while I see Adam Fugitt doesn't stand a chance against Malott, this is going to be a bias prediction for me because I really like how Mike Malott fight, for this match he will likely dominate this one, so my pick is Mike Malott,
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 10, 2023, 02:27:04 PM

Jokic got a big lift from his teammates, those important baskets in the last quarter where he got his 5th foul.

It's really amazing that those fellas who are playing with Murray are really stepping up,
Gordon and Green with KCP and Brown and Porter Jr all  give their shares to prevent Miami
from making a rally and snatching this game away from them.


Congrats to all, especially those who support the Nuggets in handicap great catch!

It was really a great catch indeed, 1 more game and the Denver Nuggets will be the champion, truly a very great game right now Bruce Brown Jr. and Aaron Gordon made their incredible scoring in this game while Jamal Murray was now the one who switched the job of Jokic with the assist but still he is making those critical shooting when needed it was a great game to watch now I am curious on what the Miami Heat will do in the next game,



The result of Game 4

Miami Heat(2.22) VS Denver Nuggets(1.69) - WIN

Despite the zone defense of the Miami Heat to stop Jokic from getting those Crucial assists and just letting him inside the basket, Jamal Murray has switched his job with Jokic and made 12 assists, which made a great effect on the other players for the Denver Nuggets, Jamal Murray has a double-double of 12 assist and 15 points, Bruce Brown Jr. got 21 points Nikola Jokic has a double-double as well of 12 rebounds and 23 points, and Aaron Gordon got 27 points, winning the game if Coach Erik Spoelstra doesn't come up with some solid defense and offense for the Miami Heat Game 5 will be their last,
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: June 10, 2023, 11:52:18 AM

I think that Volkanovski beat Islam or in worst case, I would say it was draw but Islam won the fight, cmon. At the end of the fight, Volkanovski was on top of Islam, punching him on the face. That matters a lot!


For me it was a draw, and it should end in a draw like I said Islam Makhachev is crushing the stand-up if you watch the fight closely Alexander Volkanovski was pretty much surprised about it, while Makhachev was surprised on the ground defense of Volkanovski that is why this fight was pretty much interesting, but the judge has likely made a point on Islam Makhachev's stand-up domination against Volkanovski that is why Islam Makhachev won the fight,



Now here are my picks and prediction for the fight tomorrow,

Amanda Nunes(1.33) VS Irene Aldana(3.70)

Super underdog odds for Aldana, likely seeing her be beaten by Nunes, it is just not fair but surely Irene Aldana has no choice she wants a title shot and likely wants to try it, but she is a boxer, if he doesn't have a great takedown defense this is going to be a dominant win for Amanda Nunes, but if Amanda Nunes is not fighting smart here she could likely eat Aldana's striking, but Amanda Nunes is very well rounded, so for this fight my pick is Amanda Nunes,

Charles Oliveira(2.35) VS Beneil Dariush(1.68)

Charles Oliveira for me is the most entertaining to watch than Beneil Dariush both fighters had a solid ground game, but Oliveira will surely go inside the cage with some entertainment value he will likely do some kicks great with his striking and great knowledge in the BJJ department, while Beneil Dariush would likely want to go on a route where there is a convenient to what he would do, likely he is a more technical fighter, and will likely wait for an opening, but Charles Oliveira will not wait for that he will be aggressive towards Dariush, for this fight my pick is Charles Oliveira,

Mike Malott(1.49) VS Adam Fugitt(2.85)

For me Mike Malott is a great fighter, he got a lot of entertaining fights that could go with knockout and submission, but man this kid is really entertaining to watch, while I see Adam Fugitt doesn't stand a chance against Malott, this is going to be a bias prediction for me because I really like how Mike Malott fight, for this match he will likely dominate this one, so my pick is Mike Malott,

^  Not sure what would happen with the belts in the Bellator vs Rizin event, but the UFC and the PFL had a one match deal for Kayla Harrison to fight Amanda Nunes for the women's 145 championship in the UFC since the fight will take place in the UFC.  So I guess it will depend on what kind of deal they have signed.  I'd imagine Kayla Harrison getting a three fight UFC contract if she did win vs Nunes. 

Anyway, the last one had Bellator fighters beating up most of the Rizin guys.  Some skill in wrestling and grappling really made a huge difference in those match ups.

That will be an amazing deal for the PFL and the UFC, if this is true, well I haven't seen any news about it, but I will love to see that but I though that Larissa Pacheco is the champion now, so I think Larissa Pacheco VS Amanda Nunes, but let's wait for further announcement if this really will take for, or what,

Now here are my full pick for PFL 4 - Regular Season, not my full bet just my full picks, however, will just be picking some fights for my bet, highlighted in green are my picks

PFL 4: Regular Season

MAIN EVENT
Brendan Loughnane VS Jesus Pinedo


This fight was an upset for Brendan Loughnane because he lost to Jesus Pinedo it was a fast kick but the knee landed on the head of Loughnane, which causes him to fall slowly then Jesus Pinedo made a follow-up hammer fist that KO/TKO Brendan Loughnane, it was a fast round 1 upset, and it was really crazy,

I cant wait to see him fight again in octagon, but I would be very happy to see him against Tyson Fury first, but Deontay Wilder is also offering to box.
During this time I think Dana White is going to try and do everything to destroy Ngannou reputation and PFL, he already started his dark campaign.


I also love to see Francis Ngannou fight aswell, but it will surely take time, and the Tyson Fury fight will surely take time aswell because of so many legalities, and negotiations that are happening right now

Well Dana White seems interested in everything about Francis Ngannou and the PFL, and he wants the spotlight aswell, that is why he is making negotiations with Tyson Fury aswell, a something collaboration with the PFL, if that could happen, it all connects to that he really wants something,

So it seems that everyone is not on the same boat, unlike game 1 wherein almost the majority went for the Nuggets to win even if the initial handicap is almost double digit.

For this game 3, I will go with the Heat at +3.5, still at 1.90 so that is good enough for me.

And with that kind of almost 50/50 bet here, it just shows that this game should be very close and could be decided again in the last couple of minutes or even less than that.

The Nuggets are still on the lead because of that dominating performance in game 3, game 4 will be a different one the Miami Heat can struggle again in game 4 but that game 2 was really a struggle for them so for me the Denver Nuggets still has the edge in this game, game 2 was also a close game they manage to stop Jamal Murray but they can not stop Nikola Jokic, that is why they let him score but they manage to stop him from passing and making assist, which is a brilliant plan from Erik Spoelstra,


I feel like a lot of money is hitting the +3.5 and man I hate to bet against a home team in the playoffs with them at home but I'm laying on the Nuggets.  I said I was gonna lay on them the whole way down and can't believe one game should change that.  Hitting Denver-3.5 and a jokic pts+rbs+asst over.

Good luck everyone and enjoy game 3.

Many are still hoping for a Miami Heat to come back but the incredible performance of both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic both Triple-double performance is a masterpiece play, that is why I think that the Nuggets can manage another dominating performance but if Erik Spoelstra manage another crazy play and Jimmy Butler would not be so stubborn enough in disobeying Erik Spoelstra another win comeback for the Miami Heat is actually not impossible but right now it is the Denver Nuggets time to shine moment,



Miami Heat(2.22) VS Denver Nuggets(1.69)

Another close odd for these two teams, the odds are from stake.com right now Tyler Herro still can not play for the Heat, while the Denver Nuggets don't have any injuries, well because of that great performance of the Nuggets against the Miami Heat in game 3 where both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic manage to get a triple-double I really think that they can still have that kind of play in game 4, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

Pretty sure they got that idea through ‘engineering breakthroughs’ Grin

I’m hoping that Ferrari get off the high horse and at least ‘get an inspiration’ to the leaders of the current season and get better placements. It’s really boring to know that no one comes close to RBR albeit the Mercedes team doing some improvements on the car’s body. It’s not Verstappen’s driving that’s causing them to get wons after wins. It’s more of the car and him placing comfortably during the start of the race.

I surely hope aswell that the Ferrari would have a breakthrough with their machines and get a podium for the next race, but I am surely doubting that fact, right now the SF-23 has gotten its latest upgrades, and just like the RB19 and W14 hope that the SF-23 will likely Model their Machine just like the two, but right now SF-23 has a long way to take for that to happen,

Well, for me not in the car performance alone but the driver's technique and skills that he is the champion just like you it hurts me to watch other than the Ferrari boys other teams now making a podium while Charles Leclerc manages to get 1, well like I said it is not in the machine alone, I think Max Verstappen has proven from time to time that he is the number 1 right now well Sergio Perez also got the same chassis as Verstappen but why he end up making mistakes I think Verstappen really has something special for him to dominate in every race,


There could be a very similar approach in the copy of the RB19 and the W14 there could be similar but there is still a difference in the sense the design is pretty much unique to each team, and not just the side and the bulk wings of the car but the underneath of the car aswell and because we don't really see the underneath of the car for each team it is really a big mystery for some fan what is the look underneath, the pattern underneath and the way the airflow on the F1 floor but we got a glimpse of those F1 floors because the way they salvage the F1 when it crashes they lifted the cars up and some have taken a photo of the underneath of the RB19 or Sergio Perez on his latest crash and the underneath of the W14 aswell, here is the video explanation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbddt51Cfg0


After seeing the video, I now want to see all of the machines underneath and mostly want to see the Ferraris lower section, for further analysis of the Machine and to greatly understands it, I think the RB19 and the W14 were exposed because of these images and with this videos maybe the other teams will likely be making a sudden chance underneath their car aswell, and some teams are eyeing this video for reference on the underneath the car for both teams,

^  That's prolly because one fighter accepts that he's a tad chinny and the other fighter does not.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

If I decide to bet on the match up, I'd have Oliveira to win tho.  I think their evenly matched, their also both chinny and since it's a 50 - 50 match up, I'll go for slight value with the underdog.

Charles Oliveira definitely throws out the word technical in that fight and net the punching does the talking which is not a good idea for Islam Makhachev because a great technical battle will always prove that it will win than just throwing down your all like nothing ever matters, and so Makhachev take him to the ground it was a bittersweet failure for Oliveira, probably the most questionable fight he takes because his fighting style is very much different,


To be honest, the real reason why these Dagestan guys are unbeatable is that they are superior in wrestling. In the rest part of the world of UFC, wrestling is very underrated and everyone prioritizes boxing but they don't understand that they aren't Mike Tyson or Floyd Mayweather, they don't workout like these guys and when you aren't on that level, you shouldn't underestimate wrestler.
I really hope that there will be a rematch between Oliveira vs Makhachev and Volkanovski vs Makhacev. Btw, Oliveira vs Volkanovski would be a great match too!

Well, Islam Makhachev has proven that he got striking  a technical one even and he proves it when he fights Oliveira but one thing is for certain, he will always go down to his roots and that is wrestling, and so the fight ended with a submission on Oliveira, which shows the power of Makhachev,

If Oliveira would fight Volkanovski there is no question Volkanovski is just greater of a technical striker than Makhachev but Makhachev strike Volkanovski which is surprising for Volkanovski, and Wrestling is not an issue with the ground defense of Volkanovski that is more surprising to Makhachev for me if I could judge the fight I will make is a draw,
