^  For that, I think looking for some alt to buy for a fraction of the 6k you're planning on getting BTC could give you better results and could give you the proceeds to buy even more BTC.  There's a risk but seeing the whole market right now, it feels like it isn't going to sell down really deep.

I'm really just doing it for the lulz and risking a couple hundred bucks but check out the 'looking for the next great 1000x' thread in the alt section.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  I know it's a joke but doge themed coins and coins with dog logos could make their investors a lot of dough again.  And DOGE to 1 USD isn't going to be a meme anymore at the coming bull market...  It really could happen now...  Not to mention Elon Musk who could just sneeze the word 'DOGE' and everybody starts buying.

Ey sportsbet.io, Steve...

With AfreecaTV StarCraft League Season 15 starting on the 28th...

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/AfreecaTV_StarCraft_League_Remastered/15

I was wondering if you guys will have a betting market for it in your Esports section.  You guys had it last year but I think you started laying lines for it starting at round of 16, not at round of 24 which is gonna start next week.

Hopefully you guys have ASL 15 from start to finish this time around.  Thanks!

I have heard of some experiment with a supercomputer about which driver on the grid would be the champion this season.

According to the calculations of this supercomputer, Verstappen will win his third championship in a row. Besides it calculated the 2nd and 3rd in the standings as Hamilton and Leclerc respectively. It doesn't seem unrealistic to me honestly. Because we still can't be sure of what Ferrari can really do this season yet. They claim that they have the strongest car now but the most important thing is to have a season without problems. Otherwise it doesn't matter how fast your car is. Apart from that, Verstappen is still the clear favourite. Hamilton can also have a great season depending on how much Mercedes have developed their car.

If Verstappen is the favorite and Leclerc comes third, then that simulation honestly didn't factor in Ferrari's car. That thing is still a beast, and with Charles Leclerc on the driver's seat, it's not impossible for him to take the championship. While everyone is still cheering for Verstappen to take that 3rd championship on his, they should not sleep on Hamilton and Mercedes. These guys are doing a very great job on tests and are giving us short responses on what went well on these tests, which means that their car is slowly getting better but doesn't want to spoil the fun yet.

Here's the thing with F1 before the season starts.  The favorites are hated because there's a really good chance that everything is gonna happen the same as last season...  Again.  And Ferrari almost always keeps getting all the hype.  But by the time we're all at the middle of the season, the books have gotten the lines in the outrights market to a tee.

I mean sure, Ferrari's car could be fast but Red Bull's car could be fast too and they have the best driver on the grid rn with the best strategists and the best technical team.

Yup and I'm fking surprised that she did really well in using her reach and outstriking Andade.  I thought Andrade could use her powerrr and get some respect then corner Blachfield by the cage where Andrade could Taz her way to a W.  Looks like the UFC match makers knew what they were doing when they made Blanchfield skip the line and gave her Santos then Andrade when it didn't pan out with Santos.

After that weight-in and face, Erin Blanchfield was taller than Jessica Andrade even though Andrade had that Physique that could likely make her struggle in attempting submissions or grappling Erin Blanchfield still manage to do it, and that Height of Blanchfield has proven she can win over a stand-up against Jessica Andrade, well no doubt that I will be very supportive with this young fighting kitty, and I want her all the way in being the champion, and I am looking forward in it,



Yeah...  Blanchfield is a pretty good prospect and she's young.  Just 23 years old.  If somehow Shev retires from MMA, there's her, Santos, Andrade could still be in the mix as she took the match on short notice and the French girl Fiorot who's also pretty good.  And there's the return of Tatiana Suarez this coming weekend.  She'll be at 125 now so let's see how she looks in the cage.

Here's the Multi Master.  I think my lottery ticket will not look the same as my MM picks.

1488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alts Blood Bath for Feb? on: February 20, 2023, 02:02:20 PM
I'm just looking at charts of ETH and other altcoins rn and I feel like we're in for another blood bath.  And February could end up bad with most alts ending in red for the month.

It's looking likely that most alts will end up in the red against Bitcoin, but probably neutral or green against fiat imo. I'm still waiting for alts to get left behind once Bitcoin starts really pumping.

I'm not sure what's going on and what's causing most of the market's volatility but it's not looking good guys.  Whales look like they're running stops then shorting the market themselves..  Does anybody what's up with the sudden change in sentiment?

I see you posted this after Bitcoin's correction to $21.4K. Looks like time already answered your question, as can be retrospectively be seen as a natural correction back to support before further upside.

Yeah..  That's why I was asking as it was all looking good before that sell down to 21.4k or so.  Which looked like it was a change in sentiment.  I was wondering why when everything started to look good and seemed like the market sell downs have been exhausted.

But then a couple of days later, everything started getting back to the program again and started going up.  It's now almost up to 25k.  This week is gonna be crucial.  If it breaks out of 25k and holds, I think we're in for a ride to 28k - 32k range.

Anyway, if you're out there I just wanted to ask if you guys are gonna have a betting market for Starcraft/Broodwar ASL 15.

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/AfreecaTV_StarCraft_League_Remastered/15

Rollbit had some of the lines for ASL 14 but didn't have them for the whole season.  Hope we have the complete betting market for the whole season at ASL 15 this time around.  It starts at Feb 28.  Thanks!

We are going in the week of the test for F1.
It will be the only week this year from Thursday to Saturday of the next week in Bahrain.

The weather will be sunny as usual.

The last year we got huge problems with sand and wind if you can remember.


LFG!  So stoked we're gonna start the season in less than a couple of months.

A little line check on the odds for the outrights before we actually start...

Leading in the world driver's champioship to win is Verstappen with 1.73, followed by Hamilton with 4, then Leclerc with 6.

Constructors are as follows.  Red Bull at first with 1.95, Mercedes next with 2.40, then Ferrari 5.75.

There are other fun bets out there like season H2H between drivers and season H2H between teams.  Check it out...  There's also a driver and constructor doubles market.  Verstappen and Red Bull at 2.35 seems decent.

Erin got it done! That's one hell of a statement to make, and I actually think he has a chance against Val, since she hasn't been looking her best in her recent outings, and Erin is a serious threat on the ground. I think she's proven that now, against Molly I can see why people were doubting her, but she made a real statement last night against a top three opponent.




Yup and I'm fking surprised that she did really well in using her reach and outstriking Andade.  I thought Andrade could use her powerrr and get some respect then corner Blachfield by the cage where Andrade could Taz her way to a W.  Looks like the UFC match makers knew what they were doing when they made Blanchfield skip the line and gave her Santos then Andrade when it didn't pan out with Santos.

Nice win for Blanchfield in main event against Andrade but I don't think she is ready for title fight with Valentina Shevchenko now, so it's better for her to work and prepare more.
This was not most memorable UFC event, maybe prelims showed more than main card, and I don't understand why UFC is still forcing events in their UFC Apex instead of normal arenas.
Maybe it's not a bad idea to sometimes skip week or two than to create semi boring events in UFCV Apex like this.
Santos might be the most logical next step for her, since that was the original match up. However, I think she's ready for Shevchenko. Her submission skills are some of the best, and I knew that if it got to the ground she'd have a chance. However, she actually did pretty good work on the feet too. Didn't look too fazed by the attacks from Andrade. Shevchenko is a lot more technical, but isn't as ferocious as Andrade so we at least now know Erin can deal with that sort of pressure, and she did it in style.

Considering, her relatively short UFC career, and young age she might actually be in for a long period at the top, a bit like Shevchenko.

I think the UFC will match her up vs Shev.  women's 125 needs new blood as Shev has already beaten almost all of the contenders but a couple.

Many teams tried to save paint and went with black this time around, which is definitely good for almost all teams except Red Bull and Ferrari, who went with their own colors, and that is going to be a bit harder.

Because that extra weight means reliability, and it means that if we have some engine issues like Ferrari did last year, having that extra weight could have helped them put that into engine and allow them to have a much faster car. In any case, black cars are the way to go this season, and if this many team did it, then there must be some benefit about it, and I think it is going to end up being a good case for Mercedes this season, specially if they stopped hopping around.

If they wanted to save some paint they prolly should've gone bare and let the metal shine thru...  Just like the silver arrows Merc days or the McClarens back in the day.  It makes the cars look like they have their own personality that's different from all the other cars in a way.

And engine issues are just really engine issues.  When a team starts blaming the paint, you know something's def wrong as the paint should really the the cause of we a car is slow.

Anyway, we see the cars in action guys...  Preseason testing at Bahrain is in 5 days.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 18, 2023, 01:29:09 PM
Yeah, Molly definitely isn't a world beater, but she's a difficult fight for most fighters out there. However, her ground game got exposed. Now, Erin has a fairly substantial MMA career before the UFC, there's some good footage out there that shows she definitely has a special type of understanding on the ground, and I don't think she's got chance to show all of her skills off yet.

However, I don't think she'll like the pressure that Andrade can bring, and that might be the defining factor. Tokeweed, are you expecting a finish in this fight? I'm trying to gauge whether I risk a decision win for Andrade or not, since the odds are very long at 7.00 for Andrade. She has enough volume, and if Erin can get takedowns, and make it scrappy when shes in trouble it could well go to a decision, and potentially a split one at that.

It's in the realm of possbility that Andrade finishes Blachfield or Andrade gets finished because she got in the match up on short notice.  So her cardio could be suspect.  And the way Andrade fights, she'll def need the gas tank to go thru all 5 rounds.  So yeah, Andrade's camp prolly has a game plan to finish it early.

Btw..  The lines are getting closer as a lot of guys are dropping their action on Blanchfield.  There's some value with Andrade now.


Yeah, and it's Andrade on short notice in a 5 round fight.  Cardio could be an issue...  So there are some things where Blanchfield could have the edge.  But I heard Andrade never left Vegas and she continued to train in the UFC PI after her last match.

And we can't really put too much stock on Blanchfield's win vs McCann as she sucks just like how Paddy Pimblet sucks.  Lol.  They're just a couple of hyped up fighters.  Pimblet could still improve tho.


I really don't know why the top 3rd rank Jessica Andrade, would be the one that Erin Blanchfield a 10th rank would be her opponent, maybe Jennifer Maia or Viviane Araújo was an OK match for Blanchfield, but I really like Erin Blanchfield's style and this is a good opportunity for her to get the upper rank faster, but this is going to be a tough fight for her for sure, but I am still positive with the skill of Erin Blanchfield that she can take Jessica Andrade, I just feel it that this fighting Kitty is ready for anything,




The original bout was weirder.  Blanchfield was supposed to fight Talia Santos, the no. 1 contender.  The match makers prolly rate Blanchfield highly.

I'm not as confident as tokeweed on Andrade since Erin Blanchfield is actually a pretty good fighter. She has very good technique, crisp striking, and very technical when it hits the ground. I mean, she dismantled the fan favourite in Molly Mccann, and I mean dismantled her. Andrade on short notice though? That's a real tough fight, and she has some decent takedown defense of her own, and I'd favour Andrade on the feet. If Erin wins it'll be a massive statement, but I can see why Andrade is slightly edging the odds.

I'm wondering whether I be a bit cheeky, and go for a Andrade win by decision. Since, she'll be very wary of that takedown, and it might mean she's a little more shy in the striking, and thus won't get the finish. 7.00 odds if I recall correctly, that's some pretty damn good odds.

Again, if we bring up Molly McCann she isn't really a top 10 or even a top 15 in the UFC in her weight class.  So we can't really use to gauge what Blachfield could do vs Andrade.  But I could be wrong.  The funny thing tho is the fans at Tapology voted Talia Santos vs Andrade close to a coin flip but has Andrade as the slight favorite.  I rate Santos a tad higher compared to Andrade after what Santos showed against Shev.  And Santos is kinda big for her division.

Anyway...  Weigh results are in.  Everybody made weight.

Jessica Andrade (124) vs Erin Blanchfield (125.5)
Jordan Wright (204) vs Zac Pauga (205.5)

1498  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for February on: February 17, 2023, 09:01:30 AM
I mean a point when there are less sellers than buyers...  Meaning sell downs happen less and buy ups happen more.  I think we're starting to get to that point or at least when it goes to the 16k - 18k range maybd it does go to that point.  If so then BTC could be range bound from 16k to around 23k - 24k range...  Like sellers  only start to come out at 23k - 24k.  Dunno but seems like we aleeady hit bottom.  I've been thinking about it more lately as I've been here for a long time and I never really bought 'the bottom'.  I usually just buy the momentum and go with it.  Lol.  Leaves some money at the table.

Which, if you're right, means they're just about to pop up then with today's surge looking to retake lost ground above 23k.

Buying bottoms? Not really my thing, as it means setting aside cash for that...

I actually never sold any tops, but have been able to benefit slightly from bottoms thanks to DCA, I'm usually less concerned about that as Bitcoin spends a lot of time near the floor... my hope is I actually call the next top as I'm not getting any younger!

No...  If I'm right it all goes back down to 16k - 18k:  buyers come out then it goes back up to 23k - 24k:  sellers come out.  So BTC ending up being range bound for a time until the buyers get their fill at the bottom of the range and the sellers run out and will prolly end up buying too at some point.  Dunno..  But all these guys blindly saying to buy the dip are right for now.

And I still think all the stuff that's going on in the world will still have an effect crypto.  And it's all not looking good rn.

will never believe that Blood bath will truly coming this 2023 and not just February .

but thanks for this , it made me think to be ready as this increase now might be the last blow before dumping again .

Yeah dunno...  It's really hard to predict these things.  From experience, I can say that I have the worst timing of the market.  Just a week before I started this thread, I was thinking of going all in ETH but somehow the market sold down and tanked.  When I started thinking the pump was just a fake out it went up really strong.  Lol.  Now it's showing signs that it's gonna be sold down again.  

Seems like it's better to wait and see for now and hope that it goes back down to the range it was in November.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/chelsea-neymar-blues-owner-todd-boehly-meets-psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-discuss-transfer/blt7c820edbba8fc4f6

Chelsea is now interesting to buy neymar from PSG. I don't even know what has been thinking by todd. PSG already confirmed that will be let neymar and messi to leaving from the club. I guess that the new club for messi is still become a big answer but as you know that from news that i have mentioned above if neymar may potentially goes to the chelsea. I wonder how much money wanna be spending again by todd. Chelsea is still struggling with its performance after bad result in champion league.

If it is true that PSG have affirmed they will be letting Neymar and Messi leave in tbe summer then Chelsea have a shot at getting Neymar, and it shouldn't be a problem because they are financially capable of getting the deal done and Neymar is a player we know is up for the money, the right proposal will get the deal done. It will be fun to see Neymar in the premier league, it’s been a while since I saw those kind of dribbling skills in EPL.

Hmmm...  Will Graham Potter really want to have him in his squad tho?  Isn't he some what of a diva?  That could be a problem in the dressing room.  I think there are better players to acquire which will bring Chelsea's squad more balance for the kind of money that's gonna take to get Neymar.

But bottom line, I think Potter is not the kind of manager who likes those flashy kinds of players.  

Here's what the books are saying so far...
