^  Gaethje is too tough for his own good.  His style isn't sustainable...  If he continues to fight like that he'd have a brain injury or some sort of head complication within 5 years imho.

But what a war.  I hope to see Poirier vs Ferguson and McGregor vs Khabib in one event.

Watched the race and read the reviews...  So it seems there's some sort of controversy with Whiting's call on the safety car.  He made it at a time that would make it impossible for Vettel and Bottas pit if they wanted to.  Some fans are saying that he was trying to rig the race for a Hamilton win, but Hamilton didn't pit.  Ricciardo and Verstappen did.

Anyway I wonder what would've happened if Hamilton also made the pit and switched to the soft tires...

Seriously...?  You took his word so seriously and thought it desrves its own thread here at BCT?  Rofl.

That's obviously pure FUD and you know it.  I mean look at it.  'Disappointment could lead to the demise of Bitcoin'...  LOL.  He doesn't know sh*t so he's scamming himself into thinking that his 'disappointment bs' could become true.

And if the price of BTC goes below the cost of mining then the less profitable miners would have to leave.  That's it.  But then the price could go up again...  

Edit:  I didn't even bother reading that sh*t article.

I think no sports betting site would lay lines on Conte's sacking because that's already close to 100%.  

But the better option would be to keep him and hand him a bigger transfer budget imho.  One of the reasons why they're at 5th place is due to Conte not getting the players he wanted during the summer.  All they got were the cheaper versions of the players he wanted.

Share!  

I'm mostly down in MMA betting.  I also tried krach's picks but that didn't help much.  Anyway, I was out of the house for this one too (and the Chinese GP), so I haven't had the chance to watch any of it.  But I heard the main event was good.

But here are the results anyway...

I didn't watch the race, didn't see any highlights and no reading of news, articles, blogs or race reviews or anything.  All I know is Ricciardo won wow, how did that happen?  I can't wait to watch the replay and see what really happened...  My best guess would be a collision or something.

And I made a last minute bet on Hamilton at 4.50.  It seemed like value at the time...  Meh.

Anyway here are the results.  I did a quick copy/paste.  Lol.

Wait...  Were you always a global moderator or did you get that status recently...?  And how do you become a mod in the forum?  Just curious...  Not that I want to be one or anything.

I'm really curious why Condit's line is at 2.85.  I mean Oliveira is coming off a loss, fighting on short notice and he isn't really one of the best fighters.

Here are the weigh ins.  Enjoy.

Deleted mine as well...  Get Austin in there Mark Hughes you stupid f*ck.  Lol.

But good game tho... 

^  There's lots of better options out there for 100m (or less) like Aguero.  But for 200m...?  I'd rather get Harry Kane. 

If Vettel wins this then I guess it would be safe to assume that he's gonna win his first driver's championship with Ferrari...?  I don't think there was a driver who lost one after winning the first three races.  At least that's what I'm told (by my friend, who prolly was talking out of his ass ).

Southampton up by one goal now at HT.  

They're playing for their EPL lives out there.  Chelsea needs to do better.  Mentally I don't think they're really in it imo.  I don't think top 4 is possible anymore for them...  Mathematically it maybe still is but the Spurs and LFC has to have a bad run for that to happen.


I don't think the Spurs wants to be those 'bunch of clowns' giving City their trophy...  City has to fight hard.

^  I don't think so...  I mean after Pep who would City hire?  Pep is like the ultimate signing for a manager.  All you can give him is time...  And a huge transfer budget.  

Something of both that City has.

And what do you mean by 'Mou winning easily'...? 

I think so...  City has to be very exausted by now having three very important fixtures played back to back to back.  And not to mention the adrenaline dump...

While I think this is gonna be something like a low scoring draw, I won't discount the Spurs getting one goal in.  At +0 at pickem odds, it's a good bet imo.

Anyway, I got Burnley +0 at home at 1.84 vs LCFC and Southampton +0.5 at home at 2.03 vs Chelsea for the weekend. 

So Bayern Munich just announced that Niko Kovac is gonna be their new manager starting next season on a three year deal.  No idea who he is...  Lol.

Edit:  YEEEESSS!!!!  LFC drew Roma!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The CL semi finals draw starts in 10 minutes guys!  I hope LFC draws Roma!

I will edit this post as the draws come in... 

Hey guys... It's the Chinese GP!  It would have been nice if somebody bumped the thread to remind us.  

I totally thought the race wasn't on for another two weeks.  FP1 and FP2 are done.  Hamilton is looking good it seems...

If I'm the only guy to keep bringing more info about F1, then I think I'm gonna make a thread per event in an attempt to get new people to follow the races and keep the discussions isolated per event.

I got my money on Gaethje at 2.08 and Condit at 2.82.  The latter seems like it's value at that line as Oliveria has issues with gassing other than fighting on short notice.

Anyway enjoy the vid below.  This main event is actually a lot better than UFC 223.  Lol.

At 31 years old, it's prolly more like a scam.  Lol.  But no matter how good he is at the Bundesliga, I don't think we'll see the same level of performance from him vs the tougher defenders in the EPL.

But maybe they could try calling Mou...  Their no.9 is underperforming. 

Maybe different BTC casinos, dice sites and sports betting sites could get together and share their player pools for PvP games just like how some poker site networks do it...?

Some sites would need to cooperate and complement each other to have a good economic environment for BTC gambling imho.
