that's quite unfortunate but certainly the team has reason behind it, of course even the fact that zksync airdrop is still unclear already speaks a lot that one shouldn't have many expectation, but it's always worth it to just follow around the trend just like arbitrum.

Given the previous experience of distributing such airdrops, we see that such a distribution can occur several years after the launch of the main network. So the main Arbitrum One network was launched in August 2021, respectively, to expect an airdrop from Zksync Era this year does not look real.

They announced like a couple months ago that it's very likely that they're having an airdrop at the second quarter of the year.  And just a while ago, they confirmed it.  But dunno...  Seems like it won't he a valuable as the ARB airdrop as the zKSync one will really be crowded and the airdropped tokens might be spread too thin to all eligible.  I think it's more worth it to focus on Layer Zero and other protocol based airdrops like Rage Trade.  But that's just me.

And just wondering...  How much was the average amount in Aptos' airdrop?

^  And another thing..  Why was Adesanya always backing up and getting his back near the cage?  It could he a mistake because he'd be having not much space to pull away once Pereira starts moving forward.  It was like he was trapping himself.

Anyway, I'll start looking through the rest of the roster and try to actually find value in these match ups again.  The greasy parlays, while fun, aren't really working out for me.  I'm just wasting my BTC.  Lol.

But how do we forget these things..?  I am slightly scared.  I think I might need some CBD for neurogenesis.
Lol, i don't think it has gotten to that, we do forget things from time to time, especially when we're busy with quite a lot of things in RL. Grin
Anyway, no way Nagelsmann is going to Tottenham.  Lol.  A guy like him should be thinking of bigger things.  Sorry Tottenham fans but it's a trap.  But the big potential jobs available in the EPL right now are all traps save Liverpool. I think Klopp will be replaced by another German genius.  Poch will go back to Tottenham, a trap or go to Chelsea, another trap
Spurs' fans would understand, they are largely unsuccessful, Cheesy yes, i don't think Nagelsmann is coming to Tottenham, i think he might go to Real Madrid, the rumors say Ancelotti is leaving for the Brazil national team in the summer. Well even if Klopp would be replaced, i don't think it'd be this summer, he has been successful in his time there to be fired after this very bad season. Spurs wouldn't approach Pochettino again, and yes, i agree with you, it's prolly a 'trap' if he goes to Chelsea.

Nagelsmann to Real Madrid makes sense for a young, high profile manager.  That's the pinnacle of any manager's career.  Real and Barca, with Bayern and Man United close behind.

I think there's more behind Nagelsmann's sacking.  It's weird that the Bayern brass decided to get rid of him right after a divorce because he got caught having an affair with a sports journo at the Bild.  It's like it wasn't a planned sacking.  Does Bayern have an image requirement for its managers?

I don't think the reason for the sacking was football.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 31, 2023, 12:20:52 PM
Adesanya is better than Pereira if we're talking about pure skills and technique.  But there are other factors that also help win a fight.  There's size, strength, cardio and other things like heart and motivation.  And sadly for Adesanya, there's just some fighters that have the other fighter's number.  For Adesanya it could be Pereira.  For Usman it's Edwards.

So much better that managed to lose 3 times Cheesy If Adesanya is better, why didnt he make conclusion after fight/fights and lose next fight to him? Pereira was so bad at ground games, that even Adesanya managed to do takedowns and control him on the ground. Why Izzy did not stress on that, but decided to outstrike Pereira. Because Pereira oustriked him in kickboxing, then Adesanya decided to avenge that omission?

P.S. Where is Welsh ? We are discussing his kid for two pages already Cheesy

Don't get too amped up...  Again, as said, if we're just talking about pure skills and technique, Adesanya is better.  Remember, Adesanya was on his way in winning the match before he got finished. 

But there's just some fighters that have the other fighter's number.  And also watch those kick boxing matches.  Adesanya was also ahead before the knock out and the other one is close but Pereira won, hence the observation that Pereira has Adesanya's number.

I think the rematch will be close with Pereira edging it.

Arb supply is very big which will not let this token pump hard like other coins. What do you think about Arb Token? Is it a good option to take entry below 1$ or I use my fund in btc or Ethereum?


Supply is high but inflation is just 2% per year.  So it isn't really that bad as it would not bring too much selling pressure once the rest of the supply is unlocked.

As for what I think, I def think it's undervalued at where the price is rn.  It should be up there at least at the top 15.

And anything below 1 USD for ARB is a fist pump, no brainer buy.  Don't think that's gonna happen tho.

It's safe to say that the guys who voted 'yes' have it.  It kinda played around the level of resistance but eventually made a clean break above 25k then went to the 27k area and it looks like it's holding above it so far...  I'm guessing April's sentiment will be super duper bullish for the month for BTC and crypto overall.  I've already thought a fun poll.

Chart just for completeness' sake.  Pretty sure you guys have been looking at the same thing.

^  I used to wear just City kits a tad before and mostly during Mancini's time.  Those were good times.  6 - 1 vs United was hilarious.  Joey Barton shenanigans during the final match and winning the league.  Omg...  Those were the days.

These days I don't care much anymore.  I'd wear any EPL kit that looks cool.  I'm mostly a fan of the game and support small clubs that went up.  *Go Blackburn!*  I think Brentford could be a good fit for Sportsbet if they were to change allegiance.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 30, 2023, 02:05:09 PM
I'm a little late with the news and I'm too lazy to check the through the thread but I just found out that Nagelsmann was replaced by Tuchel to be Bayern's manager..?  How did that happen?  I thought Nagelsmann was doing pretty well with Bayern Munich.  :/.
Yeah, you are pretty late with the news, it happened a few days ago. Shocking to say the least, Nagelsmann had a 100% record in the CL thus far this season with Bayern Munich and he was just a point adrift Dortmund at the summit of the Bundesliga table, so you're right, he was doing pretty well, but i guess the board at Bayern had other ideas, we'd see how well Tuchel does.
I guess there's going to be a couple of EPL managers who'll be under threat to be replaced.  Potter and Klopp.  Poch is going to leave PSG after this season too.  I could see Nagelsmann go to Liverpool and Poch to either Man United or Chelsea.
Pochettino has been fired a long time ago as PSG manager (he is currently unemployed), their current coach is Christophe Galtier. Manchester United are pretty comfortable with Erik Ten Hag, and i see him staying there for many years. Chelsea and Liverpool could prolly fire Graham Potter and Jurgen Klopp respectively, though i expect Liverpool to be more patient with Klopp and give him another season. Nagelsmann might go to spurs, they just recently fired Conte, or he could wait as there is rumor that Ancelotti is leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season to join the Brazilian national team, and he could be a target for them. There are so many options and positions that would open up in the next few months, thus i think good managers currently out of a job wouldn't be short of options in the summer.

Damn...  I looked it up.  Poch got sacked back in July last year!  It's either I totally missed Poch's sacking or I forgot.  This is embarassing to say but I think I totally missed it...  I'll check my posts as I might just have forgotten.  But how do we forget these things..?  I am slightly scared.  I think I might need some CBD for neurogenesis.

1352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 30, 2023, 01:50:32 PM
You are right, this is gonna be totally the last chance for Adesanya. Even though if he wins, imho this will be their last fight. Otherwise they will slow down whole division. How can it be fair competition, when same two guys fight for the belt. I believe Whittaker, Vettori and Cannonier would like to try on middleweight belt on their waist. But I admin, that if Pereira wins again, but later looses to someone who is perfect at submitting, then they might meet again but not fight for a belt.
Adesanya is a kickboxer too, but he was able to destroy every fighters and not get submitted in middleweight, Pereira should be safe if he's keep staying in middleweight. But there's a new name which came from EFC and KSW, it's Dricus du Plessis, he seems to be a good contender.

I'm not sure if Whittaker, Vettori and Cannonier able to beat Pereira, even though Pereira is quite new in UFC, but he was very experienced in kickboxing.

Because there were mostly strikers in middleweight or low class wrestlers by the time he defended his belt. I am not doubting Adesanya skills, no doubt he is talented. Sorry, forgot old Yoel Romero. He did not submit Adesanya, because he was running all the time Cheesy One of the most boring Izzy fights.

Indeed Whittaker, Vettori, Cannonier will find it hard to beat Pereira, maybe even impossible for them to beat him, but it does not mean they dont want to fight him. It is hard to stand aside if you want to be champion, but have to wait because two other guys have unfinished business and find out two is better. That is why I dont like such cases when Moreno fight Figueiredo 4 times and etc.

Adesanya is better than Pereira if we're talking about pure skills and technique.  But there are other factors that also help win a fight.  There's size, strength, cardio and other things like heart and motivation.  And sadly for Adesanya, there's just some fighters that have the other fighter's number.  For Adesanya it could be Pereira.  For Usman it's Edwards.

And it's funny Du Plessis was mentioned by Apocollapse.  While the guy is strong and has heart, I don't think he's up there in skill yet and he looks gassy.  Put him in a 5 rounder vs Whitaker or Vettori and he'll get beat.

After the successful airdrop from Arbitrum, all attention is focused on the upcoming airdrop from zkSync Era. In order not to be a bystander and qualify for the upcoming airdrop, it is necessary to interact with the main zkSync Era network. You can see a detailed guide here: https://airdropclaimers.medium.com/zksync-era-mainnet-complete-guide-575a439feabb


This one feels different from ARB.  With ARB I mostly used it out of interest to see what the fuss was all about with L2's...  And I liked using it because it didn't require me to buy a token.  The airdrop was an added bonus and it's good to feel that early users are appreciated.

Now that a lot of people realized they missed out on ARB, they're all going into zKSync to get their chance for getting into an airdrop of their own.  But I don't think it's gonna be the next rotation that everybody is waiting for.  I think it's gonna be Zero Layer's airdrop.  Same vibe as ARB.  No announcement of an airdrop but you know it would be stupid of them not to have one.

Still worth playing around zKSync tho, don't get me wrong.  Wink

In addition to these projects, it is necessary to pay attention to Arbitrum Nova, whose team stated that the protocol will have its own token. And it is obvious that the airdrop distribution conditions for this network will be similar to the ARB airdrop. Therefore, in my opinion, everyone should do the necessary minimum so that later, when there is an airdrop distribution, they do not regret their inaction.

Where'd you get the info that Arbitrum Nova is going to have its own token?  I think it's kinda not really needed after they've just released ARB imho.  It would be better if they used ARB as the token for Nova too and thereby adding more value to it.

Anyway, besides Layer Zero's airdrop, there's Rage Trade.  Smiley  It's a decentralized perpertual exchange for trading with up to 5x leverage.  There's only ETH/USDC available tho.  But been using it and try to be eligible for an airdrop.

Sounding as if Lampard wasn't a failure at Chelsea both managers took the big step at the wrong time, they were both having the best time at their previous clubs, now both of them failed miserably and are back at home without a job.

Lampard is a shitty manager, he was a good player, but his tactics is limited and looking at his stats at Chelsea and Everton, he is probably worst what can happen to the team
he was in Everton long enough to show his worthiness, and on 38 games, he got 35 points, which is an almost certain relegation season
bloody hell, in 20 games this season, we had 3 wins, Dyche has 3 wins over 7 matches, and from those 7 two were against Arsenal, top team this season, and Liverpool, Chelsea included in 7

With Lampard, I think it's mostly the lack of experience that made him suck at Chelsea...  Not everybody could be brilliant early in their managerial careers like Mourinho.  And with Chelsea it wasn't just about the manager.  It was the players too and there's prolly something amiss with the club behind the scenes.  How many managers has it been since Mou's second tenure with the club?  Their results weren't really that good.  The latest manager who got in the trap is Potter.  Poor guy..  He's a good manager and should've waited for a good offer with another club.

And one thing that shows it's mostly the club and not really the manager is Tuchel's take over at Bayern.  Now why would they hire Tuchel after him having a so so time at Chelsea?

Round of 16 winners are in.  I lost some money in my lottery ticket but won a couple of singles with Light's Bo1 and Best's Bo1 in Group C.  If you guys know a little bit of the SC/ BW scene, Group C is the group of death. 

Anyway here are the results.  The match ups for the quarter finals are in the OP.  I think the players who are performing really well are Jaedong, Best and JyJ.  The upsets of the group were Light, Bisu, Snow and Rush.

Group A


Group B


Group C


Group D

I like betting on Starcraft/Broodwar even though I'm losing overall because I'm really bad at it.  Lol.  That game for me is some sort of a guilty pleasure these days.  Lol.  I shouldn't be watching it.  But as a little kid I used play it a lot as my older brother and older cousins played it a lot too, both online and at LAN parties.  It's still by far the best RTS game in existence and I'd go far to say that any man, woman or child who says that there's some other RTS game that's better, I'd tell them they have no idea what they're talking about.  Lolol.

1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 29, 2023, 01:23:15 PM

Lol did you watch the first match?  No tune up needed.  Adesanya was ahead in most of rounds and was on his way to winning the match if not for the misstep he had at the last round.  So rematch is better imho.

And it might not have shown but there are some folks saying that Adesanya was getting tired.  But dunno...  Gotta watch the fight again.

Masvidal isn't as good as most of everyone likes to believe.  Edwards will eat him alive.  And it's the other way around.  It's Edwards who wants to get his hands on Masvidal.

Yup! Adesanya was really winning it, but yeah Pereira just got a great determination in getting back and winning the fight, I really think the dude doesn't need a tune-up and getting back his confidence, seeing that he is now in good shape with his training and all I really think Izzy is ready,

Well the whole Adesanya Gassing out was all theatrics, they have put that on Izzy even though he said he was OK breathing I don't know what is true but it was his word and I think that is his body saying it, here is the Video interview on Izzy

I hate Jorge Masvidal,





You could watch the replay here...

https://mmacore.tv/videos/Israel_Adesanya_vs._Alex_Pereira_Full_Fight_UFC_281_Part_1/10476080

I'm gonna watch it too this week if I don't get lazy.  Lol.  I'll prolly just watch the last round at the part when Adesanya started falling apart.  I don't know what his game plan was but his back was too close to the cage and that's where Pereira wanted. 

And I thought the event was going to be this coming weekend.  It's going to be at the weekend after.  -_-

UFC 287

Main card (ESPN+)
Middleweight: Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya
Welterweight: Gilbert Burns vs. Jorge Masvidal            
Bantamweight: Rob Font vs. Adrian Yanez            
Welterweight: Kevin Holland vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio            
Bantamweight: Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Christian Rodriguez         

Adesanya will try to prove in the rematch that the defeat was accidental, if I may say so, but this time his waiting strategy will be inappropriate as he needs a convincing victory. Pereira is something of a phenomenon for Adesanya, an uncomfortable opponent. Maybe Adesanya is in too much of a rush to get this rematch, maybe he should have fought a few more fights to regain his confidence, but instead he is sure that he should be Pereira's next opponent.

I don't really think Pereira is a big champion and he's more likely to be beaten by someone who's good at wrestling, but he says he doesn't mind fighting Adesanya again, he's beaten him many times and he has good confidence about this fight.

I would have preferred Adesanya to have a tune-up as well to revive his confidence. Pereira may not have the best wrestling skills and background but it is the same with Adensanya who's only a little better. This is more like a psychological battle for Adesanya. I have no idea why he did the rematch immediately. Pereira will be more confident in the octagon this time while Adesanya after suffering another stoppage will have less confidence and might run the entire fight. I see a one-sided fight, Periera will either win another stoppage or a unanimous decision if Adesanya will be cautious and defensive the entire fight.

Meanwhile, Masvidal cannot wait to put his hands on Edwards. As if he can get past Durinho. Cheesy Masvidal only fights once every year now and lost 3 times in a row and this will be his 4th.

Lol did you watch the first match?  No tune up needed.  Adesanya was ahead in most of rounds and was on his way to winning the match if not for the misstep he had at the last round.  So rematch is better imho.
