^  Yeah but check who KKF has lost to and check who Albazi has won against in his 4 fight win streak in the UFC.  KKF def beats those guys.  The same could not be said if Albazi fought the last 5 guys KKF fought.  Well...  Maybe except for Cody Garbrandt because his chin is shot.    Toughness of schedule and quality of competition matters a lot imho.

Price has been trending side ways and slightly down.  Monthly chart shows BTC is down by a tad over 8% so far for May.  It's not that bad but I'm starting to see some guys becoming a little bit bearish as they're expecting more chop if 26.5k doesn't hold.  I guess it could be seen as a good thing...  At least for me it is, as it could be that time in the market when BTC needs to drop down befor it could go up.  Dunno...  But from the looks of it, there's just not enough buyers at the current range.

I think Man United has a less of a chance in acquiring Neymar if we put Pochettino and Chelsea in the equation.  But how is Pochettino's relationship with Neymar at PSG.  From a quick browse it seems like they respect each other.  Couple that with Neymar's star quality and quality on the pitch, I think there's more of a chance that he prefers to help rebuild Chelsea than go with boring Ten Hag at United.

But that's just me and don't take my word for it.  

So Honda struck a partnership deal with Aston Martin to be the latter's engine manufacturer for 2026 and beyond.  A couple of things...  Didn't Honda say they're leaving F1 because they couldn't keep up with the costs then cut their ties with Red Bull?  And what changed their mind and what about the costs? 

Hopefully Alonso is still around by then.

Anyway won a bet riding the Celtics with my free bet from Sportsbet.  Lol.  Betting everything on either RBR car to make the fastest lap at 1.90.

Yeah sucks.  Lol.  At least it's an F1 weekend and I guess it's nice to watch a little bit of the EPL since it's the last set of fixtures of the season.  Can't wait for the next one and really try to get back into it.  The last couple of years I'd try to get into it then get bored three months in.  :/


There's also MMACore for tape study purposes.  Quality isn't really good but it has most of the modern UFC matches available in their site.  Good enough. 

Anybody know why KKF is a slight underdog vs Albazi?  I think the line could flip.

^  It depends  where in the rotation the market currently is...  And right now, it's out of the memecoin rotation and back into alts.  In my watch list the fast movers are WAVE and KAVA.  So I guess the rotation is going to those low - mid cap alt L1's. 

Another one that's getting bought up is RNDR but I'm not sure which category it's supposed to be in.  Coingecko says it's in Metaverse, NFT and AI...  :/  I think it's more about distributed computing.  So start looking for coins in the same category and see what's pumping. 

What's everybody betting on for the Heat vs Celtics game?  I used my free bet from Sportsbet to go with the Celtics just because I think it's close to impossible for having two teams getting swept back to back.    I don't really watch basketball so dunno...  Just hoping to get lucky and use the proceeds to bet somewhere else.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the bet?  Judging from the odds, seems like the books think it's either team's game..?

1. Verstappen 
2. Verstappen
3. Verstappen
4. 6 seconds

It depends on the manager, the club and if the manager has stayed long enough that the club has already out grown the manager.  :/  With Tuchel, we could agree that his sacking was premature but as for Allegri, how long has he been with Juve?  Prolly around 6 - 7 years?  I think if the club wants to go into a totally new direction with a totally different philosophy then they have no choice but to give their current manager the sack and replace him.

Anyway the most exciting club to follow during the summer is Chelsea.  Let's what kind of players Poch acquires.  I think the first thing he should want is a new keeper.

^  I'm hopeful tbh.  If there's some good money to be made for all people involved then I could see why a cross promotion bout isn't possible.  As a pure fan I'd just like to watch the best fighters go at it.  I really think Ngannou will give Jones his first KO. 

Anyway I found a new site that's gonna be a good replacement for Best Fight Odds...  It's called...  *drum roll* ...  Fight Odds.  Lol.

https://fightodds.io/

But it's really good as they have a tools section.  In there you could do some research and it even suggest which matches to tape study depending on which of the fighter's strengths you wanna look at. 

I think this one's better than the last event on paper but the last event turned out to be a banger with a few matches turning out to be better than expected.  Lol.  I hope this one doesn't disappoint.

Matches to look out for are Lacera vs Blackshear, Santos vs Munoz, Kutateladze vs Mullarkey, Elliott vs Altamirano, the co main and the main event...  And it's another gap week.  :/  No UFC this weekend folks.

Game 1:  41, 35'
Game 2:  41, 65'
Game 3:  41, 15'

1.  Conlan
2.  UD
3.  1

Really appreciate those guys who dropped by itt and said thank you.  It feels good to know that I at least helped some of you in some way.  I'll be making more threads like these, aside from the airdrop threads, and hopefully they help many of you guys make the right decisions and make some money off the market at the same time. 

GL on your trades guys.

^  It's not just about those selling the market down as there really are whales who run everybody's stops as a trading strategy.  Some even are the exchanges' market makers themselves that do it.  It's not that their manipulating the market per se but they need to take the market where most likely there's more action and liquidity.  Kinda like how sports betting sites set the odds.  They take it where they think there's likely more action.

But yeah...  It's looking like the market needs to go down before it could go up if that makes any sense.  Not a lot of people are willing to buy at the current range.

I think we should remind ourselves to check the lines on the overs and unders for lopsided matches like Silva vs Leonardo.  Not sure but I think I say it at a decent line at 1.70 - 1.75 or something.

So yeah...  I thought the main event was gonna be boring as hell but man, sometimes these women could show everybody that they could for it better than men do in the cage.  Dern improved a lot.  Can't wait to see her go against somebody like Yan or Namajunas next.

Here's the post fight press conference.

UFC Fight Night:  Post Fight Press Conference

 ^  Meh..  All the 'mathematically stuff' the football journos like to throw out there is just an attempt to keep our attention and get us still interested in the season.  It's pretty clear that City has it in the bag.  The books prolly have City to win the league lined at 1.10 or something...  Maybe less.

The more exciting question is if Guardiola could win City a treble.  In the EPL era, only Man United has ever done it.

^  A cross promotion event is the only chance we see an Ngannou vs Jones match up.  And judging from what the UFC was willing to do with Nunes and Kayla Harris before, it's not outside the realms of possbility that we see a Ngannou vs Jones event happening.  It just needs to make some sense from a business perspective and it really does make a looot of sense.

With Nunes vs Harris...  It was supposed to happen after Nunes vs Pena at UFC 269.  But the huge upset happened with Pena winning the bout.  So the planned cross promotion event was cancelled.

Weigh in results here...  A couple of fighters missed weight and a match became a catch weight bout prolly because both fighters missed weight.  I guess the UFC had to have all the matches as we're gonna have next week off before KKF vs Albazi which is a decent event for a Fight Night.

Mackenzie Dern (115) vs. Angela Hill (114.5)
Anthony Hernandez (186) vs. Edmen Shahbazyan (185.5)
Emily Ducote (119.5) vs. Loopy Godinez (119.5) – 120-pound catchweight bout
Joaquin Buckley (170.5) vs. Andre Fialho (169.5)
Diego Ferreira (154.5) vs. Michael Johnson (155)
Viacheslav Borshchev (154.5) vs. Hayisaer Maheshate (155.5)
Vanessa Demopoulos (117.5)* vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz (115.5)
Orion Cosce (172.5)* vs. Gilbert Urbina (170)
Ilir Latifi (249.5) vs. Rodrigo Nascimento (264.5)
Nick Fiore (154) vs. Chase Hooper (156)
Victoria Leonardo (124.5) vs. Natalia Silva (124.5)
Themba Gorimbo (170) vs. Takashi Sato (170.5)

*Missed weight


I guess but it's just not piquing my interest at the moment.  Maybe as we get closer to their match it starts to get more interesting.  I think Chandler wobbles McGregor and finishes him via GnP.  Chandler has proven himself to be a tough dude after battling it out vs Gaethje.  I don't think McGregor would last the whole 15 minutes.

Edit:  Last call to make your picks in the Multi Master.

For those of you guys who joined Sinbad's BTC price prediction contest...  Just dropping by to tell you guys that it's the last day to make your second prediction.  I've missed doing the second one for a couple of months now.  Lol.  So yeah, don't be like me. It's basically +EV, won't hurt to join.

Anyway, gonna lock the poll, just 24 votes.  Hopefully more of you guys get in next month.

And I feel like it's sideways til the end of the month but since LSD's started getting bought up again, I think it's gonna lead the way for BTC like it did at the last run during the start of the year.
