Yeah and we have been discussing that this fight is not going to be rigged in favor of Jake Paul and so to continue with his career in exhibition match.
FYI this is not an exhibition fight and it is a sanctioned professional bout and this is the 5th professional fight for Jake Paul.
Professional boxers signed the contract and then failed to show up for the fight. So Jake Paul being the promoter himself he needs to look for fights that are guaranteed and may be he took the fight against Anderson Silva because they come to fight and do not back out citing many reasons Wink.

The mining of crypto-assets can consume a lot of electricity, which can result in greenhouse gas emissions, besides purchased grid electricity, crypto-asset mining operations can also cause local noise, electronic waste, air and other pollution from any direct usage of fossil-fired electricity, and additional air, water, and waste impacts associated with all grid electricity usage that can affect on nearby communities.
This nonsense is being discussed for sometime now, lets cut to the topic, BTCitcoin mining is consuming a lot of electricity and it is harmful to the environment while majority of the government are planning to ban Combustion engines in favor of electric cars and where do you think those electricity will be generated.

The view that migrating everyone to electric cars would be a great idea but mining BTCitcoin would cause a lot of damage to the environment, what a bunch of jokers trying to find a cause and then rally against it. FYI many miners are using renewable energy and if these sort of discussions are created thinking BTCitcoin will change from POW to POS, then it is not going to happen.

Aljo won against Yan in an exhausting 5 rounds, he should have the stamina even with that neck injury.  Its dillashaw who might not survive 5 rounds and when that happen, he'd be choked. Its why I cast my bet by submission. The acting skills is a plus, using that skill may still get him the win again.
I also having the same feeling that T.J. Dillashaw will not last 5 rounds like he used to without the EPO and even in his last bout against Cory Sandhagen, i thought Cory won the fight but somehow T.J. Dillashaw won by split decision. So i am expecting the same slow start like his last bout knowing cardio will be a problem and Aljamain Sterling will make him carry his weight and exhaust him and may be a submission victory in the later rounds for Aljamain Sterling.

Found a breakdown for Charles vs Makhachev which also made me bet Charles by KO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJfsUh-PxaU
It is a hard fight to predict as both are really great fighters. The way i see this fight is that Islam Makhachev circles away from his offence and since Charles Oliveira always like to march forward there is always a takedown possibility. After watching all the fights of either fighters, Charles Oliveira's go to move is his left side submissions where he catches the opponent with his left arm and then chokes them out and i am sure Islam Makhachev will be aware of this and might be shooting towards the other side. Either way i am expecting a good ground battle and i see Islam Makhachev winning those battle unless Charles Oliveira finds a way to submit him.

Another factor i am taking into account is that Charles Oliveira never went the distance or the championship rounds in his career, so no idea about the stamina, i favor Islam Makhachev if the fights goes to the championship rounds.

Although West Indies are a better team than Ireland. West Indies could not hold that good. It is surprising to think that West Indies will perform so poorly in bowling. I am shocked by today's match. West Indies is a two-time champion team. If the players of that team perform so badly and lose the match. This is really a big shame for West Indies and West Indies fans
West Indies was struggling even before coming into this tournament, Andre Russell who is one of the most devastating player in T20 leagues around the globe was not picked and Shimron Hetmyer who is an impact player was not picked because he missed a flight and you cannot expect any magical performance from them when their star players who could single handedly change the match are not picked in the team.

As a responsible gambler, I know we don't let gambling change our lifestyle. If today is your luckiest day ever in gambling,on your first game you won the sum of $50 000.
First, will you quit the game immediately and withdraw all your funds or will you play for awhile because you are excited.
I do not gamble thinking that it could change my lifestyle with it, you may win depending on your luck but if you really want a life changing win you need to wage much bigger amount which i definitely will not because i am not looking for a life changing win through gambling. I did win around 20BTC in dice but it was a long time ago when the price was below $300, showered some in the form of tips busted a few and withdrew the rest. I never got that lucky again and busted a lot more than that what i got from gambling.

In last 75 years these countries never learn from their mistakes and still going on the way of conflict which is surely going to hurt both countries even right now many are feeling India is big and have right to do things like this but surely in long term they can also face consequences of these in long run I don't want to go in other topics like terrorist and politics but still they need to do some soft policies for the better future because if they will go like this then surely things could be worst for all.
Not sure about a conflict, BCCI rejecting the offer to play the Asian cup in Pakistan due to security issues and other teams started visiting them recently after a lengthy halt and the break was mainly due to security reasons and when India tours Pakistan may be the stakes are higher considering what happened to Sri Lanka.

As for me these conflicts are political and whenever India and Pakistan tend to amend their issues in the past there would be a terrorist attack and it was a recurring theme for more than 30 years and if PCB thinks that it is not safe for them to play the next ODI World Cup they can make the decision on not sending the team, it is fair for them to think on that aspect as well.

There are so many people during bull runs that run out of cash because they like to buy all they could buy to ride the wave, which results with them losing a lot of money when the crash finally starts, it could go up a lot, and I mean A LOT, but eventually it will go down, so having a little bit of your profit cashed out could benefit you.
These things happens especially to new investors who are coming into the space after seeing the rally who have no idea about the market but thinking they can ride the market and make a good buck, they do not do their research but start investing in whatever they can thinking it will benefit them but end up burning everything in the end and starts regretting for burning all the hard earned money, only if they make the decision to study the market before investing it would be the difference.

Srilanka was far away from a good start. They have already lost 2 wickets and now they are struggling to get singles. The fielding and bowling of the Netherlands have been outstanding. The pitch is working very well for spinners which will be a relief for Srilankan spinners. A target of 140 runs would be a good score for the Srilankan side. 51/2 in the 9 over does not look easy for Srilanka to reach 140.
I am impressed with their fielding and their catching, took some difficult catches dropped some extremely difficult chances and their ground fielding were much better than Test nations. Kusal Mendis played an incredible innings for Sri Lanka and they have set a target of 163 for Netherlands. Sri Lanka have the bowlers to defend the score but i have no idea about the batting strength of Netherlands.
829  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for October on: October 19, 2022, 08:59:19 PM
I expect the price to go further down this month. We have been going sideways at $19k for several weeks despite the economy getting worse. You can only hold $19k for so long when everything is so negative. There are no signs of improvement any time soon and many people are warning of a recession in the coming months.
Fair point, if there are more negative news in the coming months the support we have now will crack and even when Biden is assuring that nothing is going to happen, i do not believe him one bit as he cannot even remember what he did a few minutes back and with the way things are going, recession will hit bad and then Biden will find a way to blame others rather than owning up and it will have an impact on the entire economy.

So with the above mentioned situation we cannot look at the past charts and make a prediction on how the price will react this month.

2) Govts and Banks would have taken full advantages during pandemic
Not sure about that because majority of the business worldwide are not accepting BTCitcoin as a legal tender, there were no cash available in the ATM during the pandemic but other than that what advantage would they take during a complete shutdown.

4) The excitement to grow money 10-20 folds would have not existed ...
This is the only thing that is going on right now, speculation and expecting the market to rally all the time and i am sad majority of them are not using it for what it is intended, decentralized money and a medium of exchange.

5)  Top Business House and Influencers, such as Michael Saylor or Elon Musk would have been obsolete with just a few tweets...
Definitely Michael would be an unknown person but Elon Musk would have made waves with or without the cryptocurrency market.

6) The search for a person (Nakamoto) , was never been so much anticipated by the whole world, probably like the "Wealth of Rothschild"..
If he really wish to come forward, would like to hear about his vision rather than seeing some hiding billionaire  Cheesy.

Here we have many members those were giving tag of Dark Horse for Sri Lanka in this event but after having their early performance now they can change their view because here in difficult conditions it's not easy for them specially for their young players to perform like they have done in the UAE but still they have done good job as fight back from early defeat against Namibia as here today I was expecting target like 190 to 200 from them.
I did consider Sri Lanka as the dark horse in the World Cup because they were coming after winning the tournament against teams like India and Pakistan. Now coming into this match against UAE, the pitch was not at all a 190 pitch and you cannot expect teams to score 190 in all the matches, it depends upon the pitch conditions and the size of the boundaries. I expected them to score 160 and placed a bet on that but failed me once again Cheesy.

If you looked at the odds if you placed a bet above 170 runs in this pitch the odds would be over 3, may be you can try placing that in the next matches  Wink.

It's been undervalued and passed over by many pump and dumps over the years. It's a solid alt coin to use alongside Bitcoin.

Accepted more places than any other crypto, Litecoin is one of the few altcoins that I actually use.

It's low fee, fast confirmations and 2nd oldest crypto. Can't go wrong in my opinion.
There is no doubt about the efficiency of the coin and i am using them once in a while and the value just dumps whenever the bear market is in full swing and you need to wait till the next rally to see some movement in the valuation. Considering some of the shit coins yes you can claim that it is undervalued but you need to market the coin to the new users to make it relevant.
 We can ask coblee if we can expect any major announcements Wink .

What a disappointing start for the WI team? They were literally struggling while facing the Scottish bowlers. Getting defeated by 42 runs shows how good the scotland bowlers bowled today. The target was not that tough to chase but Scotland were good in both field and bowling today. The next match between Ireland and Zimbabwe has already started and Zimbabwe has already lost a wicket with no score on the board.
Sri Lanka and West Indies going the same route, the opposition batting first they struggle for a while but then the tail end batsman takes the team to a good position and then when they come out to bat they struggle against the Namibia and Scotland bowlers, not a good start and it will be interesting if these two teams fail to qualify for the Super 12 as both teams won the World Cup and no place in the tournament Cheesy.

Charles isn't just good on the ground, he's one of the best on the ground. You see it after he gets tagged, and to be honest at times I've questioned whether him getting tagged is just a way of enticing them in on the ground, but you see it time, and time again. He'll get rocked, take guard, and sub them out within a minute or so. He's exceptionally talented on the ground, and while for some reason some people think Makachev is better on the ground, we haven't seen any signs of that in the UFC.

Striking it might be even, but I'm pretty confident in Charles being the better fighter on the ground.
This is the same curiosity i had when Khabib and Tony Ferguson fights were scheduled and how each of them will handle their ground game. One is a superior submission threat and the other is a superior grappler. There is no debate about the grappling advantage of Islam Makhachev but my curiosity is whether Charles Oliveira will be able to catch him in a slick submission on the ground even though rear naked choke is his preferred method against Makhachev expect guillotine or an anaconda during grappling transition or even a calf slicer and the question will be whether Makhachev can handle them. The anticipation is huge and hopefully the fight will deliver a classic.

Sri Lanka is batting now. Sri Lanka has lost 5 wickets so far. I thought Sri Lanka will win this match very easily but now Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure. In this match Sri Lanka could not score the good batting.  It cannot be said that if Sri Lanka play this bad game then they will lose this match.
Terrible performance by Sri Lanka, they lost their 8th wicket and i never expected this kind of performance from them and i lost a lot of money in this match. I am not aware of these Namibia bowlers and the way they are bowling they looked like a class apart because the Sri Lankan batsman are finding it hard to put them away.

Need 72 runs from 29 balls with 2 wickets left. Impossible target for Sri Lanka
836  Economy / Speculation / Re: what is the bottom of this bear market BTC on: October 15, 2022, 10:17:42 PM
What we need now is a decoupling from the global stock market indicies. We all know the global banks will keep raising rates, so stocks will keep going down. So will crypto and gold. Inflation this week will also lead to hawish action from the fed. Same with the fed meeting they will have. The last weeks employment numbers didn't look good.
Sounds like a good plan decoupling from the global stock market, we want the higher prices and that is made possible because wallstreet money was coming into the cryptocurrency market and once that happens it is really difficult to see the market apart. If the stock market crashes it will have an impact in the cryptocurrency market as well and that is what we are seeing for the past several months and it is time we accept that even though i do not like the situation we are in.
837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metaverse is the future on: October 15, 2022, 08:37:29 PM
New trends are coming and you need to learn and adapt to them fast, I believe metaverse have a very good future ahead of us, be careful when choosing your next metaverse projects and make sure the teams are not here to toy with investors and end up not delivering anything.
Metaverse was a trend during the last rally and everyone that had Meta in their project had a great time in the cryptocurrency space as well as in the stock exchange but now that honeymoon period is over, take a look at Facebook aka Meta whose stock is plummeting month after month and now where it was estimated to be a trillion dollars in the coming years wiped out billions of dollars. So i have to think otherwise in this changing times  Wink.

I am not here to tell you when to buy or which projects to buy, I am only saying you should make sure metaverse projects are part of your next crypto portfolio.
I already have a few projects in my portfolio but i have to rethink about investing again as mentioned above. Changing times and you need to be aware of the market before you pump money in them.

Football is a fairly simple game in which the winner is the one who scored one more goal than the opponent and it does not matter at all how many shots were hit on goal before. Manchester United can at least be praised that, despite everything, the team continued its efforts to score a goal and still achieved success in this, albeit in the time added by the referee. In football, there are often situations when a better team cannot score its goals to an opponent who is inferior in class. Therefore, this match should not be considered indicative of the ability or inability of the MU to score goals.
Similar cases against Real Sociedad, Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Everton and in all of these matches Manchester United dominated the match in all stats but they lost the match because they failed to score a goal and even in this match against Omonia if the strikers could pass the ball properly they would have scored against Manchester United as they had a clear open position one time but their forward messed up to give a cross which would have been a sure shot goal as the other forward was unmarked and in open position in front of the goal post.

Also, let's not forget about the Omonia goalkeeper, who certainly wasn't an extra in this match. By the way, Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho said that this match is probably the best in his career, and the UEFA press service named him among the contenders for the title of the best player of the week in the Europa League.
Funny thing is that Fabiano Freitas is Omonia's number 1 goalie and he is out injured in this match and the rumor was that their back up Constantinos Panagi would be the substitute but when the final team list came it was Francis Uzoho and this is the first time i am seeing him play and he made an impact and if not for his performance there would be many goals.

Australia lost the first two matches. But I wouldn't say their performance was bad. The performance of the Australian players was quite good. But still they are not able to win. And in both matches, they lost by just 8 runs.
Australia failed to keep the momentum going and score runs at crucial moments, instead of building partnerships they are loosing wickets and hence they are unable to chase the targets and loosing by small margins. They need Maxwell to be back in form as he is throwing away his wicket trying to score from the first ball.

Rain interrupted the match today and it is a 12 over a side but the play is resumed and Buttler and Stokes are in the crease and it will be an interesting one.

Edit:

Last ball, Ben Stokes strikes the ball and do not run thinking it is a boundary and started to walk back but the ball did not reach the boundary and it was funny to see the run completed. It means it is not that easy to score boundaries after the rain and it is going to be a challenge for Australia as they need around 130 runs to win in 12 overs.

It is true that Man United deserved to win the game if we looked at the statistics of the match which was dominated by Man United.
Although Man United could only score one goal in the last minute it was not a problem, the most important thing was that Man United managed to win the game.
Yes, the stats is one things and most of the time the ball was surrounding the goal line of Omonia but Manchester United were not able to score with so many attempts which is above 30 which shows that they are struggling to score goals which means no coordination and in the 13th attempt they were somehow able to score a goal in the extra time, yeah that is not a great game when you struggle to score goals with so many attempts. Uzoho the Omonia goalkeeper was great as he saved some incredible attempts that would have been a goal.
