Just wondering... How many spots are getting paid out of 29? Just so we know. In the EPL pool I didn't know that 22 spots were getting paid until it was too late as I stopped trying to win and just started to clock buttons starting around November because I thought only 10 spots were getting paid.  I don't want to make the same mistake here in this pool.  Anyway.. Saudi Arabian GP next! Let's see if Aston Martin can finish on the podium again. They're the team to watch imho. The final date for the pool participants to make the payment is March 17. And as there are still some participants who haven't made it yet we haven't announced the distribution table. But we would determine it concurringly. You can still fight for yellow cap in the PL pool as well.  Right right... Was just curious. And yeah, I wouldn't mind winning a free bet or two from getting a yellow cap at the EPL pool but it's also hard to do. A lot of the guys now have decent knowledge of the game unlike some years prior. It's really noticeable how everybody has leveled up in football, F1 and MMA. Can't speak for the rest of the sports. But maybe I shouldn't be taking those free bets for granted by making degen long shot parlays with them. Lolol. I think next time I'll make some bets that actually win. I've wasted more than 10 of them. That's like over 200 bucks! I could've made a bigger parlay with that. |

Liverpool will have a chance, Real is not some defensive giant that will kill the game. Hell, Liverpool had 2:0 in first game before Real broke them.
I expect Real to play bad game but I also expect them to pull together at some point and destroy Liverpool dreams. We all know what is Real in CL, no matter how bad it gets, 10 good minutes at the end is enough to turn it around and this time it may not even be necessary. Liverpool to win will be enough for me when betting.
Bayern - PSG tonight, I am hoping for goals galore, these 2 were a bit short on spectacle in first leg.
Oh for sure Liverpool has a chance to win. But to get back on aggregate from a 3 - nil deficit vs Real, dunno. They could but I think going to pens is more likely. And a lot more fun! But then it could be too big to ask for. We'll see... It's just Real Madrid as a team ain't no mental midget. They're mentally solid and they're hard to break. And not sure why the books have it at almost even between them. Prolly the 7 - 0 trashing vs United swayed the line. Lol. |

 No offense for this, but does Jon Jones is deserved to become top 1 P4P in men's UFC? he was at 10th position and only fight once time with the best fighter in heavyweight, now he's beat Makhachev which previously have beat Volkanovski. From my personal opinion, Makhachev should be on top 1, Volkanovski top 2 and then followed with Jones to be in top 3. Who knows... I guess every fighter in his weight class has to challenge him now as the greatest P4P tag makes it more enticing for each challenger. As for me, who cares about the P4P rankings. I just want to watch these guys throw leather and try to won some money from my lottery tickets. And I noticed there were parlays that had more than 5 legs each that almost hit. I'll show how I make my tickets in my next parlay and see if you guys like the structure better. It's a bit safer as you put your most confident picks at the top as a break even ticket then add the bottom ones with your less confident picks. |

I wonder what's going on with Vettel rn... Lol. He's prolly giving his wife a hard time for giving him hints that he should retire from F1 as Aston Martin doesn't look like a team who could put him on podiums. Just one more season and he would've reaped the profits of his labor with the team. I also thought about Vettel while watching race and that would be interesting to see him in current Aston Martin together with Alsonso. But last season it looked like he lost interest in F1 and probably even very competetive car would bring it back. @tokeweed it seems that each and every Vettel fan is agreeing with you, but sadly he didn’t stick around otherwise I too believe that this podium spot belonged to him. Lastly I feel that his failure while driving for Ferrari had crushed his confidence, and post that he never really recovered even after moving on from them. His failure in Ferrari is partly due to him and the team. It's never really just about the driver or the team. Imagine if Vettel was acquired at Mercedes and it was Hamilton who was at Ferrari. Lmao. I'm pretty sure Vettel would be at podiums while the weekly team radio compilation from Ferrari would be one for the history books. Lolol. I wonder what's going on with Vettel rn... Lol.

But last season it looked like he lost interest in F1 and probably even very competetive car would bring it back. Seriously tho, I think Vettel had already decided to quit before his two year contract with Aston Martin ended. Would the performance of the car at his second year mattered for him to reconsider retirement is an open question. I think he would've given it another couple of years if it looked promising imho. Just sad seeing him go... |

I played the last year so i know so much points can be a winning round, and when i see i have 14.5 i say to myself, "Well maybe i win the round", but when i click in the leaderboard i see that tremendous 17 points made by fM.
Yeah, I'm having a similar impression because despite Leclerc did a DNF, I still had some good picks but seeing someone making 17 points is really surprising. Last year in your Formula 1 pool, it was enough to have 11 Points for winning yellow cap for the first race ( see here) and today, 11 points is just resulting in being somewhere in the lower midfield. Sure: last year, Verstappen and Perez did an unexpected DNF as well as Leclerc did today but so much points difference in our pool is still surprising. There were only 12 people in the pool last year but this year there are 29 members and this is making things much more difficult. Another example is that one needed to win approximately 11.78 points per race to finish the pool as the first last year. But it isn't hard to predict this point to be much higher than that this year. Just wondering... How many spots are getting paid out of 29? Just so we know. In the EPL pool I didn't know that 22 spots were getting paid until it was too late as I stopped trying to win and just started to clock buttons starting around November because I thought only 10 spots were getting paid.

^ Real Madrid is ahead on aggregate by three goals against Liverpool and the next match is gonna be in Madrid. It's gonna be a tall order for Klopp to ask for the same performance they did vs Man United as Real Madrid ain't no joke. I know the away goal rule was abolished a couple of years ago but we can't deny that the home supporters have an effect against the visiting side of sorts esp in a stadium like the Bernabeu.
Don't get me wrong. I'd like to have all the English teams at the next round. Was stoked to see Chelsea win 2 - nil against BVB. I'll be rooting for Liverpool but I'm not expecting much.

Petr Yan is in a tricky situation right now. Guess where Merab Dvalishvili trains and who he trains with. I will give you a hint - he is a sparring partner of a guy who already has two wins over Yan (or one win ). Dvalishvili is now on a series of 9 wins. So if Dvalishvili follows gameplan, he has all chances to win. Dvalishvili weakness is defense from strikes, head movement. But he is good at wrestling. Petr starts slowly, but increase tempo in last rounds. With takedowns and ground work Merab is able to take first round, survive Petr striking and win 2-1 or 3-2 aka split decision. Hahaha I have seen the recent videos of Merab Dvalishvili training with Aljamain Sterling and when I have seen this fight card, it was all for Petr Yan all along, surely if Aljamain Sterling have mauled down Yan in their 2nd match he surely have the game plan and pattern to do it again unless Petr Yan have watched this training session, Petr Yan is not a simpleminded guy, if it's not working with Aljamain Sterling he and his camp will surely change their game plan, but I really like that Merab Dvalishvili is getting ready for it he surely doesn't underestimate his opponent, Petr Yan actually is doing the same - he is (or probably was) in Thailand, training in Tiger Muay Thai. That is Petrs problem, he is to confident in himself, he gets same camps. That is why he looses by split decisions. Thanks to his skills two last fights were split decisions instead of unanimous. I think he is surrounded by wrong guys partially. He should try changing his fight plan instead of relying much on striking only. Aljo read him like a book with that in their second find and was controlling him smiling. Merab is going to do the same. If Petr wants to win, he should rush from the beginning, stop his usual slow start and increased tempo, otherwise Merab would win because he would take first two rounds, show some control during third round and win. P.S. Will it be 3 or 5 round fight ? Yup... Yan tends to be a slow starter and he usually gives up the first couple of rounds as he likes to get a read from his opponent before he launches his own attack. I think it's why Sean O'Malley wanted to fight him. O'Malley knew it was a huge step up in competition but then also knew that if he could win the first two rounds or at least the first round, he def has a good chance to win the match as it was just for three rounds. This match is a 5 rounder, so Yan has some room to start slow.

I'm sorry for posting this here, but as it is a serious complaint I was interested to know from the OP if this is true, here is the complaint: Rollbit Withdrawal Frozen For $12,800 & No ResponseI've seen many accusations so this is something normal, but in this story there is something that made me worried and that is the part where the person who is accusing the casino says that after making KYC the casino asked him to make a video call with him , and seriously? Is handing over documents and taking a selfie holding documents not enough for KYC? honestly if a casino asks for video call then that casino is at a very high level of KYC and for me this requirement is scary Did you read his post? He made a deposit of 12k and made a bet of 1k which won 800 bucks and decided to withdraw the whole thing. You being a Stake user of all people should know that it would raise a red flag for the account. From sports betting site's point of view, it's like the site is being used as a mixer of sorts. I mean try doing the same thing at Stake or any book for that matter and I'm pretty sure the account would be flagged too. And if a site is not doing it as a standard security measure then I'd call the site sketchy. |

As you guys may have already noticed, this guy Soma is my pie shtter of the Round of 24. If you follow the ASL long enough he's been a consistent figure in the Round of 16, so I really don't know what happened to him in his Ro24. One thing noticeable about him tho is he got really fat. Not sure how that translates in playing an RTS game. Maybe mentally it does. Lol. Anyway to get my money back I parlayed Snow, Zero and Light. Light the leg of the parlay is playing in around 30 minutes. Leeezzgooo!  Here are the results from groups C to E... ASL 15 Round of 24 Group C Results ASL 15 Round of 24 Group D Results ASL 15 Round of 24 Group E Results |

I'll probably be having a break in terms of betting, the events coming up don't particularly take my fancy. I'll still get some predictions out. Obviously, the next big event for me would be Izzy vs Alex again. Izzy has some value there too, considering he was winning their last fight up until literally the final moments . Just bet small and have fun making greasy parlays. Save the dough for trading when the bull market comes back.  Anyway the next three events are actually decent leading to UFC 287. Not to mention that UFC 286 is gonna be in London. That's gonna be crazyyy. English fans hit different. And here's the Multi Master. Enjoy... UFC Fight Night 221 - Multi Master Challengehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5443781.0My lottery ticket will prolly look more like this for more value. Aldrich - Dumas Add: Williams -Bautista - Ramos Add: Nurmagomedov - Petrino - Yan Add: Spann - Volkov - Gravely Add: Nam - Assuncao |

Then what is the situation for changing picks to sacrifice the early points?  There must be one Well I guess if you thought that Red Bull will have pole positions and made their drivers to finish on the podium and both have troubles with the car in qualifying and start from last positions you could change your pick to some other driver. Not gonna happen, but that rule with 2 points for early picks seems like great one for F1. Big influence on my decision to join, wanted to see how it works first hand. This thing is harder than it looks and def harder than football prediction imho. Like I have somewhat of an idea of the first 5 spots but 6 to 10 it gets a bit harder and that's where just clicking buttons begin. Lolol. And it seems like the couple early picks points isn't really worth it at the start of the season as we don't really know where these teams will be on the grid every race day. That could change at the middle of the season tho. |

Now Red Bull is racing in different league. Russel expect that they should win all races this season and there is no chances for others to fight against them. Other teams only can fight to become best of the rest. It's so good to see Alonso on podium and I think he can fight for win in some races.
Mclaren looks so disappointing. And Ocon - how you can get penalty 3 times in one race, I never saw such thing.
I wonder what's going on with Vettel rn... Lol. He's prolly giving his wife a hard time for giving him hints that he should retire from F1 as Aston Martin doesn't look like a team who could put him on podiums. Just one more season and he would've reaped the profits of his labor with the team. And yeah, looks like I wouldn't be making a point of dropping everything else to watch F1. Not worth it anymore as it looks like it's gonna be another domination of Verstappen and RBR. |

UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili Date: March 12, 2023 Main Card: SUN, MAR 12 / 1:00 AM GMT+2 Prelims: SAT, MAR 11 / 10:00 PM GMT+2 Venue: The Theater at Virgin Hotels Main card (ESPN+)Bantamweight: Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili Heavyweight: Alexander Volkov vs. Alexander Romanov Featherweight: Ricardo Ramos vs. Austin Lingo Bantamweight: Said Nurmagomedov vs. Jonathan Martinez Light Heavyweight: Vitor Petrino vs. Anton Turkalj Preliminary card (ESPN / ESPN+)Heavyweight: Karl Williams vs. Łukasz Brzeski Bantamweight: Raphael Assunção vs. Davey Grant Middleweight: Sedriques Dumas vs. Josh Fremd Bantamweight: Mario Bautista vs. Guido Cannetti Women's Flyweight: Ariane Lipski vs. JJ Aldrich Bantamweight: Victor Henry vs. Tony Gravely Flyweight: Tyson Nam vs. Bruno Gustavo da Silva Welterweight: Carlston Harris vs. Abubakar Nurmagomedov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Yan_vs._Dvalishvili It's a decent Fight Night card with lots of familiar names for the regs of this thread. Some of them are really close matches tho, so making a parlay could be harder than UFC 285. I think lots of parlays were hitting at 285 if they managed to avoid putting Shev in them. She's the pie shtter of the event. Would've won three tickets if not for her. :/ Anyway, this next one is tough but I'll still be making a my greasy lottery ticket nevertheless. Lol. GL to all your picks. And congrats to the winners of 285. |

I'm kinda confused here.. Do you get points in both quali and the race or just the race? I made my picks for quali but I seemed to have missed something as I still have no points. And does this thing lock automatically? I can't lock my picks and I can't find the lock button thingy. There are those ones beside the drivers' names but when I click it, it says my pick was saved and I can change it later.
What is this?

^ I like the Shev via decision spot at 3. I don't I've seen Grasso getting KO'd or finished via sub before. And if she did, it must've been more than three years ago. A safer option would be to take the over 4.5 rounds at 2.07.
Anyway, is anybody watching the event? First match with Ribovics vs Radzhabov already a banger! The underdog could win here... And there's a guy I know who's leaning towards the underdog here who's also leaning towards Neal...
Edit: Ah.. Radzhabov won. It was close tho. 29 - 28 in all three judges' cards.
Edit: Basharat next! Leeezzz gooo!

Here's what my betting slip looks like:
Farid Basharat
Tabatha Ricci by decision
Viviane Arajo by decision
Bo Nickal
Mateusz Gamrot
Shavkat Rakhmonov
Jon Jones
Valentina Shevchenko
x36 as an accumulator. Jon Jones obviously could be considered a risky bet considering he's been out for a while. However, I feel confident enough to put in on my betting slip at 1.60 odds. The bookie I'm using is offering a bonus for accumulators on the UFC, so the short odd fights like Bo Nickal, Shavkat Rakhmonov, and Valentina Shevchenko offer a bonus on top of it. So, they're better odds than they appear.
If you don't get that bonus though, It's probably worth avoiding them on your betting slip. Although, I'm fairly confident on them, Bo Nickal should get the job done pretty easily. Shavkat I expected will dominant with the grappling, and Shevcehnko seems to have a lot of doubters, but I don't know I just can't see Alexa Grasso beating her, since she hasn't got better stand up, and her grappling is probably the most joy she'll get out of this match up, but we know that Val has dealt with better wrestlers in my opinion in the past quite easily.
Yup, and who knows.. We could see prime Jones taking Gane down then raining bombs on top of him by R2. And we'd all be saying 'what did everyone expect would happen?'. Lol. The match that could be a huge upset is Rakhmonov vs Neal. A couple of guys I know irl who are huge MMA fans are backing Neal in this spot as they think the line shouldbe closer. I was supposed to have him at my top ticket but backed off a bit and put him in my third ticket. Anyway good luck to everybody! |

Can Alonso fight for the Pole? Free practice 3 timers:  Source: https://video.sky.it/diretta/sportHamilton is begging for a better car but he is near the top, I'm guessing these results are still with fake power. I didn't watch any of the free practices but was FP3 stopped short or something? The times were around 1:32's with just 13 laps done by most of the cars as opposed to FP2's 1:30 - 1:31's for their respective fastest laps with double the number of laps done... Anyway, good job by Alonso. Nice to see the start of the season with a little surprise. But I think Verstappen edges it out at quali and gets pole position with Alonso getting the second spot and Perez the third. Good luck to all your bets. |

So overall, I take any resistance between $30K and $40K with a pinch of salt, because compared to 2019 $6K to $8K resistance level, it looks barely significant (volume wise at least).
Thank you for giving a technical view and giving a technical analysis of what you are trying to predict. I would be surprised if we went back to 30,000 levels during the year, but anything is possible. Your welcome! I guess for me 2019 took me by surprise, I wasn't expecting Bitcoin to get back to $6K levels let alone reach $14K, so trying to mentally prepare for that possibility this time around. First a foremost price needs to get above $25K, without that, I don't see any breaking of $30K to $40K towards $50K. As maybe price instead just stays between $15K and $25K for rest of the year due to MtGox coins getting released. With all the negative stuff going on, it'd be a huge win for BTC and I'd imagine the rest of crypto if BTC trends up to 50k USD. Lots of alts could go up 3x or more against BTC. Anyway just dropped by cos I noticed something weird... The US session at NYSE started on a high note with lots of stocks gapping up and in the green rn. Usually crypto follows huge moves like these but this time it didn't. After the recent sell down, crypto is mostly stagnant. So weird. I feel like some shenanigans is gonna to happen this weekend. |
