1261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: April 22, 2023, 12:45:09 PM
So what are you guys betting on for this match?  I'm not really into boxing these days but this match is so good, it's gonna be a fun watch.  Been browsing through the thread and I've seen some guys saying that Davis is gonna knock Garcia out.  I don't think so, Garcia is fast as hell too.  And from what I've seen in his record he was knocked down once but then got up and ended up winning the bout.  That proves he has grit and he has heart.  I don't think it'll be easy for both of these guys but I give the slight edge to Davis.

Davis to win via decision is at 6.  Wink

I might be in the minority, but I think Burns takes that fight. We've seen how dangerous Burns is, and his only notable losses are against the best in the division. He really tested Chimaev, and honestly I thought he won the fight. He lost against Usman, but actually was looking very dangerous until that jab caught him. If Burns avoided that jab he probably would've won that fight, as that's ultimately all he was having trouble with. I think he's improved since then.

Nope, I'm with you.  But I'm not gonna bet it.  Lol.  As I said in a post prior to this one, I have faded Muhammad a couple of times as the underdog and lost twice.  There' just something about Belal that makes him win.  Either by luck or timing or no idea what...  He just wins.

So If he's an underdog in this spot...  Be wary.  :/

Here's my lottery ticket for the event.

Well it looks like a day after I made this thread the trading gods decided to sell down and get the price below the red bar as I drew it in the chart.  Lmao.  Cheesy  Now watch if there's a bounce and the red bar becomes the resitance.  If we do, then that's an S/R flip.  Things could get dicey from here and it's back to limbo for us...

It could also show that OcTradism was right after all.  We might not be really out of the woods yet.

^  I'm not sure if we could say Arteta and his boy are crumbling rn.  I mean they could be but it's too early to tell.  And Arsenal doesn't have to worry about playing Europe so their schedule of fixtures isn't as hectic as City's.  I think we'll see how Arsenal does against City at the midweek after this coming weekend.  Wink  I think they'll give a good account of themselves getting at least a draw.  But that's just me.

And it's funny how the EPL got the schedule just right to face off City and the Gunners.

^  A little bit risky but Masvidal didn't really give him such a hard time that maybe he things signing up for the match is fine.  And I'm thinking he wouldn't get another opportunity like this as winning the match would mean getting first crack at the title at 170 against Edwards.

The good thing for Burns here is he is already fit and ready...  I wonder how the books will price these two.  Been fading Muhammad twice in his last two and lost twice.  Lol.

1267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How is the chance of $PEPE to become the next $SHIB? on: April 20, 2023, 04:13:06 PM
Lots of memecoins on the arb network are creating so much hype in the market lately. You already know that this is a high-risk investment especially when you did not get in early.
PEPE already gave huge profits to early investors, buying now hoping it will be the next SHIB is very risky, rather, you should be taking profit if you were lucky to participate from the beginning of the ann.
There is also the possibility that it will be the next shib on the arbitrum network, who knows.

Yup, getting in early is key and even then, it's not a sure thing with these meme coins.  A lot of them are only good for the first couple of days or so then the liquidity goes away leaving you holding the bag.

As for PEPE, I think it's something special and could rise to a billion market cap or more.  I think a couple of exchanges have already listed it, so it's not just isolated in Defi anymore.  A lot more people are gonna know about it.  And I heard some Defi services have accepted it as payment.  The project prolly has some major backers.

Ethereum now is like it was in 2019, 4 years ago. In 2019 bear market Ethereum recovered from about $130 to that year highest price about $340.

I don't expect Ethereum to have a rally which is too closely to its all time high in 2021 about $4700. It won't happen in a bear market and it is simple to realize that fact. I agree that it is a good plan to accumulate Ethereum before a next halving of Bitcoin in 2024. Ethereum will follow Bitcoin after Bitcoin makes its new all time high. It is specifically supported by the Burning mechanism by Ethereum itself.

A great website to see changes of Ethereum supply after the Burning mechanism was activated and how will it go in speculative model.
https://ultrasound.money/

That's an interesting take saying we're still in a bear market.  I mean yeah it still lacks a very important factor right now.  The guys from the mainstream..  But the charts show that we're starting getting in the bull market.  BTC is up close to 100% from the November lows, ETH isn't doing too bad too and there's a meme coin craze going on.  All signs are pointing that we're getting there...

^  That last bit about the meme coins could also point out that we've just hit the local top tho.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Oof Topuria, yes please.  That guy is a beast.  And to think Paddy Pimblet was trying to pick a fight vs the guy.  After Topuria's solid win again Bryce Mitchell who is a good prospect himself, I don't think Topuria's name will be coming out of Pimblet's mouth again.  Lol.

...  I just checked the rankings at 145...  With all the fighters above Topuria having an L at their latest bouts, would the UFC really match Topuria with Holloway?  That's a huge jump from 9 to 2.

Paddy the Baddy is now Tabby the Bubbly for Ilia Topuria for sure Pimblet is not ready for the big game in the UFC and it is likely seen in his previous game so for me the hype train was really derailed in that one fight against Jared Gordon, and that should be a win for Jared Gordon it was a close match but a win for Jared Gordon for sure,

Now back to Ilia Topuria, against Max Holloway, I really want to see that fight but 1st Ilia Topuria will face Josh Emmett for UFC Fight Night 226, on June 17, 2023, let's see how well can he really do, a great match because Emmett is on top 5, so this will approach Topuria likely facing Holloway,



Ah...  Didn't expect that the UFC to offer Emmet another tough opponent just a little over a month after his loss to Yair Rodriguez.  And I wonder why Emmet signed up for the fight.  It's prolly his age.  He' like almost 40 amd he needs to a couple of good wins to get a crack at the title again.  Don't think he'll win tho.  Topuria is good at wrestling, grappling and his hands have powerrr.

Anyway, who you guys got in the main event this weekend?  I'm going back and forth but I think Blaydes has the slight edge with the wrestling and it's 5 rounds.  He needs to get past the first couple of rounds vs Pavlovich tho.

I don't know if you guys noticed but ETH is back in its 2021 trend where it belongs.  Wink  Now holding on to it will depend on how it consolidates above the red bar.  Obviously if the buyers gobble up everything the market throws at them then hopefully we'll see another leg up to 2.5k soon and 3.5k after that.  Leeezz gooo!

1271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: April 19, 2023, 02:23:52 PM
It looks like I was wrong guys...  I was sooo wrong.  It's not a coin with a DOGE logo that's going to be our next 1000x, it's the coin with a PEPE logo!  We really need to do our research and find a way to get in early with these plays.  PEPE just did 1000x in 5 days and it's not one of those no volume 1000x's, it has huge volume behind it.  So yeah...  Now the meta is back to memecoins but not with DOGE derivatives.  It's for those popular memes like WOJAK, BOBO, etc.. etc.

PEPE is already over 100m USD in market cap, WOJAK is at 14m USD and BOBO is at just 2.3m market cap rn.  I took a little shot at BOBO.  Let's see how it goes...  Wish me luck.

Edit:  Typos.

What the fck just happened?  A few hours ago everything looked like it was gonna go trend up above 30k albiet having some resistance.  Now it's looking like it's ready to go down to 26.5k support.  :/  Does anybody know what's going on?  It would be so weird if BTC just went down out of the blue without rhyme or reason or without anything happening behind the scenes.

Hopefully itwas just a fat finger error and we proceed to going back to how it was in a couple of days.

You are right however the calendar could have been updated after the Chinese GP was cancelled. 4 races in 5 weeks after a three-week break will make things difficult for the race calendar of  teams. Intercontinental logistic transportation can really leave teams in a difficult situation.

I hope that we can see other teams getting closer to Red Bull even a little in the Azerbaijan GP that will take place next weekend.


Max already has 1.20 odds to win Azerbaijan GP ...so that should take away all the remaining hype for the rest of the teams. Even in Hamilton era, the odds were not so brutal in his favor and he was around 1.40 usually so this means that RedBull car is miles away from the rest of the grid. I also still think that this season of F1 is so look alike with 2001 title run of Schumacher when he had almost 60 points in front of 2nd place and this is why I don't see anyone fighting with RedBull now or for the rest of the season.

That's funny..  I mean yeah, Verstappen clearly wins the next race judging from what we've seen so far but in F1, there's always that chance that another car hits you at the starting lap or some technical problem happens.  We just never know.  And for the line being at 1.20 makes it obvious that the books don't want us to bet on Verstappen...  Was Hamilton ever lined at 1.20 before the race during his days of dominance?  

Edit:  Jfc...  The line for Verstappen is priced at 1.12 now with Perez next at 14.  I think there's some value with Hamilton at 21 as the long break could've helped Merc figure some of their sht out.
1274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 19, 2023, 12:55:06 PM




Yeah Holloway's camp prolly thinks that a spectacular win against TKZ, somebody he can finish, would give him another shot at the title.  And it's good from the fans' perspective...  Two vets of the game fighting each other.  But really it doesn't make sense as TKZ is ranked lower than the top 5.  Yair Rodriguez is the interim champ at 145 but Holloway already beat him a tad over a year ago and it would be unfair for Rodriguez if he wasn't given the title shot next.

So yeah it's either that or Holloway just wants to fight somebody he hasn't fought before.  He already fought the top guys at 145 and lost only vs Volk.

Here's a replay of Pavlovich...  Enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LVxKEjebaw


For me, the top 8 in that Division doesn't really stand a chance against Max Holloway if the fighter is not much technical as Volkanovski then he doesn't stand a chance against Holloway's boxing, I just thought that Allen could be faster and aggressive enough to beat Holloway, but because Arnold Allen Idolized Max Holloway so much there is not a chance for him winning, for me if Ilia Topuria can make it on the top 5 he could surely make a chance against Max Holloway for sure,



Oof Topuria, yes please.  That guy is a beast.  And to think Paddy Pimblet was trying to pick a fight vs the guy.  After Topuria's solid win again Bryce Mitchell who is a good prospect himself, I don't think Topuria's name will be coming out of Pimblet's mouth again.  Lol.

1276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [Link] How to be eligible for potential ZkSync retrospective airdrop on: April 18, 2023, 12:50:00 PM
...I also missed ARB which is a disappointment. Today I don't really anticipate much on airdrop as I realized that most of those airdrops are just speculations from the public and those "influencers".

I think there will be many more disappointments waiting for you when you see once Layerzero, zkSync, Starknet and Arbitrum Nova generously distributing airdrop. I believe that it is necessary to perform at least a minimum of interactions with these networks in order not to experience Fomo later.

Yup...  A lot of people in the community seemed to have missed the current meta.  2022 - 2023's airdrops are the 2016 - 2017's ICO's.  If you wanna get in projects early, airdrops are a way to go these days.  It's all about sweat equity.  And it's good as we'll all know that the project already has a working product to goof around and test with.  And the good thing is you get plus points if you report a bug and for helping out.

Anyway, trying to get in Layer Zero's airdrop is a must and why not use Rage Trade while you're at it as it's built on Layer Zero.

I'm not all that interested in the Korean Zombie vs Max Holloway call out. I think Max wins that quite convincingly. Sadly, Korean Zombie hasn't been the same fighter as he used to be, and you can tell he's aging. Whereas, Max is still relatively fresh for his age. I think it would be too one sided, and ultimately lead to a lot of damage for The Korean Zombie. Pretty easy bet though, if they make the odds at least 1.50 for Max.

I agree For me The Korean Zombie is not the same anymore, it is likely he doesn't have a tough chin anymore but there is an improvement in his technique, and likely he now is more on a technical approach with his opponent now, and yeah he is not the same Korean Zombie now 1 punch and he will likely be out that quite easy,



Yeah Holloway's camp prolly thinks that a spectacular win against TKZ, somebody he can finish, would give him another shot at the title.  And it's good from the fans' perspective...  Two vets of the game fighting each other.  But really it doesn't make sense as TKZ is ranked lower than the top 5.  Yair Rodriguez is the interim champ at 145 but Holloway already beat him a tad over a year ago and it would be unfair for Rodriguez if he wasn't given the title shot next.

I agree about Verstappen's being more skilled than Leclerc in Formula 1 right now. Maybe we haven't seen Ferrari being able to give a car without problems or having a good season without simple tactical mistakes. But it doesn't mean that Leclerc was still amazing despite that. Leclerc also made some individual mistakes which he accepted it every time. Verstappen is not a perfect driver of course but he is close to that.  Grin

Because I don't see him making that kind of mistakes much. It is very rare thing for him. I don't think this would change for him even if he starts driving a much slower car. Yes maybe he is driving the fastest car which has a big role in his being comfortable about winning championships. But people still shouldn't be unfair to him I think.

Because he isn't an unskilled driver who can do a good job with only a very fast car. He can push to the limit in every car he drives.

Just right now?  Nah man...  Verstappen is has always been more skilled than Leclerc. 

And Verstappen wasn't always a near perfect driver.  You should watch him when he was 18 years old.  Lmaooo.  He was like a danger to all the other drivers around him.  It's like you feel everybody on the grid didn't want to start the race side by side with him because he's a serious accident waiting to happen.  Lol.

There was even a rule named after him.  The Verstappen rule.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 18, 2023, 12:15:55 PM
^  Chelsea tho...  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

What is going on up there?  The supporters are prolly making songs chanting Boehly Out at every home match. Lol.  What manager would be wanting to take the job at their current state?  I could see Lampard being given the role during the summer as they could have a hard time looking for a decent manager...  Unless they could tempt somebody like Zidane and offer him good money, which prolly they wouldn't do, and a huge transfer budget which prolly they shouldn't do.

I think staying with Lampard could be a wise choice for the sole purpose of rebuilding the squad.  They shouldn't be looking for their Pep..  They should be looking for their Arteta imho.
You know they were bad when Kepa is their best player and they conceded two goals. Brighton is good team and playing super exciting football this season but team like Chelsea shouldn't allow any opponent to have 26 goal attempts, almost like they were playing handball  Grin

@igebotz maybe time for new manager? You can't buy players outside of transfer window but you can managers. I am thinking Boehly has no idea what to do with his new toy and he is doing something just for the sake of doing.


Lots of strange results today, what is worse I predicted surprises in couple of those games but went with more safe draws instead of outright wins for underdogs.

Kepa had a season when he was pretty good tho...  The year when they won the UCL.  The sample size is small but at the time his stats were as good as the top keepers, prolly even better.  Not sure what's going on with him now as I've been following the EPL less and less.  I'd assume it was Tuchel who had done a good job making him improve.  I guess check and compare his stats on goals conceded under Tuchel and under Potter.

What the new owners should do...  Do an Abramovich and issue a blank check.  Grin

Main event at first glance and by just looking at the match up at Tapology, I pick Blaydes.  But then remembering how he got slept by Lewis a year ago, I'm thinking Pavlovich could be live here.  Not gonna bet it tho.  

In the other match ups in the roster, I think Song Yadong vs Simon is interesting, Green vs Gordon, Wells vs Semelsberger and Rani Yahya vs Montel Jackson...  The rest are not really that good.
