Here are the ceremonial weigh ins and the face off for those of you guys who still hasn't made their bets, parlays, lottery ticket or whatever. A couple of guys missed weight and one of them is at the top of my lottery ticket. Mother fking Tukhugov decided that he doesn't like to make weight today. Lolol. I should've known... The weight cut has always been a problem for the guy. He could be the pie shitter. But at least it's the first match of the event. It's gonna be easy to set up another lottery ticket.

Personally I think breaking $25K this month could be a bit early, especially if most people are expecting it to happen already. I think March is more realistic, though wouldn't rule out breaking above $25K in the next week or two. I think it depends more so if current prices or $21K level will hold as support, if not then it will likely take price longer to consolidate if $20K (accumulation) levels are re-visited.
Yeah tho I wouldn't have said the same thing a week ago tbh. But now it's looking like it's having a bit more resistance at the upper 23k range. Could it be just a correction? Maybe... But what we prolly need right now is for BTC to go back down around 20k and let those people in the side lines join the ride and push the price up again and hopefully get it over 25k. Anyway, US session is starting in an hour or so and it looks like it's going to be red judging from the SPX futures. Let's see how crypto reacts when it starts. |

^ Call it whatever.. Interest, hype, fad, trend... But at the end of the day, I think doge themed NFT's will find its way under the sun and get noticed. Esp when there's a DOGE holder billionaire we know who'll start borking about anything DOGE in a bull market. And the bottom line is there are just two timeless cartoon memes in the internet and that's the doge and the pepe. So those two are more likely to be more valued around by a community of collectors. But my bet is on Doge Club. Check it out... https://opensea.io/collection/dogeclub-dogcThere's another doge NFT with a great community called Doge Pound but I think Doge Club looks better. |

So the press conference happened earlier and it looks to me like Makhachev is playing mind games by saying that he wants to KO Volk... Not happening. It's gonna be via submission and if anything I feel like it's gonna be a rear naked choke. Dunno... I'm just talking out of my ass rn as somehow a rear naked choke popped in my head just now.  UFC 284: Pre Fight Press Conferencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V_MfxTdFj0Live weigh ins will be a few hours later. I hope to see everybody having a good weight cut so in turn we have a good event. GL to all your bets! UFC 284: Live Weigh In Showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MagR6zyYtA |

It's the Majestic 7 again folks. Another chance to the somewhat lottery of hitting the big one and hopefully win 10k off of FJ.  And of course... I'm feeling it again guys, I'm gonna win the big one with this ticket. Bowen Mitoma Willian Kane Neves Nketiah Almiron I had to look again if it's the same Willian that we liked and loved at Chelsea then Arsenal. And it turned out, it is! Lol. Who would've thought. Anyway, yeah... I feel extra good for this one. That 10k is going to my pocket. |

^ We'll see but I'm leaning more towards how Ige is thinking about it as not all charges will be proven, some of them will be dropped and some of them would also show that City isn't guilty. It's all just gonna be another round of fines and some point deductions. If the FA does strip City off of their titles then I'd say I was dumb and they should be congratulated for growing a solid pair. Lol.
For the matches this weekend, what do you guys think of West Ham at home vs Chelsea? You guys think Moyes out foxes Potter here and win the match? Draw no bet is at 2.29, seems like value or get your money back.

Although the possibility that all of this is a bull trap is always there.
But a bull trap shouldn't last this long otherwise it will lose its trap-ness! After all the trend reversal started a month ago and price has had a nice solid rise from $16k to above $20k and stayed there ever since. I think BTC at anything above 20k USD is bull territory after hitting the lows of 16k imho. But if it goes down below 20k but holds 16k then I think it's another great time to buy. If it fails to hold 16k, jfc help us as 10k - 12k would be in the cards. Let's hope none of that sht happens. Anyway the poll has 22 votes for yes and 3 votes for no. Looks like sentiment has changed 180 degrees from the last couple of months prior to January. Still three weeks til the end of the month. BTC could still end up in the green. |

Anyway, some talks going around that Emmett has some sort of hip injury coming into this fight. Not sure about it tho. It could be just that. Rumors.
Where are you hearing these rumours? I swear, sometimes I feel like I go in blind because I never really hear this type of thing, and just bet on tape I've watched in the past. Knowing some of this insider stuff could be what gives me my big break  . They've been going around for the last couple of days or so with tweets like this... https://twitter.com/anyaction_/status/1623417079436283904I'm really not sure if it's all being spread on purpose cos it's all a rumor or if there's some insider leak from Emmett's team. But one thing's for sure, the lines are kinda moving towards Rodriguez's favor. His line was 1.67 a week ago and now it's at around 1.58 - 1.59 depending on the book. So the rumor and seeing how the line is reacting prolly shows that there's some truth to it..? |

We've been looking at the car reveals without talking about what really matters for you guys itt... The early lines and outright odds before the start of the season.  I'm not sure what's really new with the cars technically but if there were some new rules, I think they wouldn't that big of a deal unlike the spec changes from 2021 to 2022. So these lines should be accurate and reflects the correct price for the drivers and the teams. Drivers top 3 in the outright to win the championship are Verstappen at 1.73, Hamilton at 4 and Leclerc at 6.25 Constructors at top 3 are Red Bull at 1.95, Merc at 2.40 and Ferrari at 5.75. So what do you guys think? Any chance Merc or Ferrari snag the top spot from RBR this year? |

Reed really isn't that good on the ground and even if she is at this match, Lookboonmee as the shorter fighter has a lower center of gravity that could make it harder for Reed to take her down. If anything I think it's Lookboonmee who could take Reed down via body lock and trip take down. But pretty confident it will stay on the feet. I got her at the top.
As for Volk, I get why some folks fancy him. The line is too wide imho as Volk is tough. It could go for the whole 5 rounds and I worry about Makhachev's cardio if pushed.
I've seen some decent ground game from her, it's just she's awful getting there. Although, I'll be going for Lookboonmee her striking is crisp, and she gets the volume out there. In close matches where a finish isn't probable then volume wins you the fights. Yeah, I've seen Makhachev's cardio struggle before, and Volky is literally the king of cardio. I'm not betting on it, as it's just too unpredictable, but I'll be cheering on Volk you can guarantee that. A few weeks ago when they first announced the odds he was at 4.00 which is absolutely crazy to be rated that low. I haven't checked yet, but will be tomorrow when I hope to get the predictions out for this event. ^ It's either gonna be a long and close match with guys siding with Volk going 'see, what did you guys expect?' or a really short one with Makhachev subbing Volk in under 2.5 rounds with the Makhachev guys saying 'see, what did you guys expect?'. Whatever happens, it's gonna be a great event. Can't wait for the weigh ins and the face offs! Anyway, some talks going around that Emmett has some sort of hip injury coming into this fight. Not sure about it tho. It could be just that. Rumors. |

Manchester City in the Mud! Following a four-year investigation, Premier Leaue charged this fraud team with numerous violations of financial rules. If Man City is found guilty on 50% of the charges, they could face a 15-point deduction or even expulsion from the Premier League. The funniest thing is that even if they lose 15 points, they will still be ahead of Livarpool.. Never seen anything like it. Pep to Chelsea? More like Guardiola to retire out of embarassment and will return to Catalonia for a long sabbatical. He trusted the Man City brass that they didn't have any shenanigans of this sort going on behind the club. He could've been aware that something was going on but nothing seriously to be concerned over. If it's all true, damn... That's gonna turn everything they worked for upside down. Hate to see it but what happens next should happen. Now no elite manager is gonna want to touch City now after Guardiola's contract runs out. Not to mention top players. Edit: Oh there's a match rn... Leeds a goal up vs United. I have United 3 - 0 in our pool. :/ |

The thing about F1 car reveals is it's not really about the cars and the technical specs of the cars per se. That comes later for a myriad of reasons. They prolly don't want other teams copying their stuff or the real car isn't ready yet.. Who knows. But yeah, the car reveals is mostly about the livery and showing the sponsors. It's a marketing and PR thing. That's why I've mostly stopped getting excited for these before the season reveals as we don't really learn a lot about the cars. That comes during FP1 of the first racing event. |

Lol... I'm pretty sure you'll be betting on some of the matches at 284 then. Since it's a 'shouldn't miss' event and all. But yeah, I looove watching MMA, so I just couldn't not make at least a lottery ticket and out a little something in it. Anyway here's what my lottery ticket for 284 might look like. Haven't bet it yet. Tukughov - Mackhachev - Lookboonmee Add: Pedro - Maddalena - Rodriguez Add: Bilder - Rodrigues - Porter Add: Jenkins - Mullarkey - Culibao Add: Menifield You know it. I'm probably fancying Volkanovski, but I'm liking your Maddalena, Mullarkey, and Lookboonmee picks. The latter I'd probably be the most concerned with, since Elise Reed is pretty good on the ground, just not great getting it there. Lookboonmee has the volume though, so I do feel somewhat confident in that pick. I'll get my proper picks out closer to the date, but that's my early leans, and for the most part I agree with your picks. Although, I said I fancy Volky I'm absolutely not betting on that fight. Too many variables, but I've doubted Volkanovski before, but it turns out you just can't go against a ex rugby player . Reed really isn't that good on the ground and even if she is at this match, Lookboonmee as the shorter fighter has a lower center of gravity that could make it harder for Reed to take her down. If anything I think it's Lookboonmee who could take Reed down via body lock and trip take down. But pretty confident it will stay on the feet. I got her at the top. As for Volk, I get why some folks fancy him. The line is too wide imho as Volk is tough. It could go for the whole 5 rounds and I worry about Makhachev's cardio if pushed. |

Ford is also interested for 2026 to be in F1!
The move that is making teams want to enter is the use of synthetic fuels.
They want to enter formula 1 to develop the technology and then use it in normal cars.
Yup and the partnership isn't something new. Ford and Red Bull were partners before when Red Bull was still Jaguar before it was bought be the Austrian company. So good to see Ford back with their former partner and see them manufacture new power units. I also just heard that Ferrari offered Christian Horner a deal to join the Italian team..? Is this true or is it just a rumor? It's funny if they really tried to poach Horner away from RBR. They should've tried years ago and offered big money for Horner, Vettel and Newey as a package. If they got those three, I think it's possible that Ferrari would've won at least one driver's championship and a constructor's championship. |

I'll have another one of my lottery tickets for 284 but if I just break even or lose, I won't be having one for a couple of events. It's funny as it doesn't matter if my bet is big or small, they all stress me out. Something is wrong with me. I don't seem to mind much in football tho. There's something about betting MMA.
And yeah, Lewis is dead to me now.
It's your hard earned money at the end of the day, so of course you'll care. However, if you feel it getting to you, it might be good to have a few weeks off. You don't want to get into that toxic cycle of trying to recoup what you've lost from the last event, as you likely won't. Since, there's always a massive favourite that shuts down your entire bet. Guess, who mine was in Bellator? The biggest favourite there was on that card... I've tapered off betting as much recently, and only do it to events I'm actually going to watch. There's no point betting on something you can't enjoy that tense feeling that betting brings. Otherwise, you're probably doing it for the wrong reasons. I'm not saying you're tokeweed you've obviously been betting for a good period of time now, so I imagine you're responsible, but I hope it's not getting you down too much. Lol... I'm pretty sure you'll be betting on some of the matches at 284 then. Since it's a 'shouldn't miss' event and all. But yeah, I looove watching MMA, so I just couldn't not make at least a lottery ticket and out a little something in it. Anyway here's what my lottery ticket for 284 might look like. Haven't bet it yet. Tukughov - Mackhachev - Lookboonmee Add: Pedro - Maddalena - Rodriguez Add: Bilder - Rodrigues - Porter Add: Jenkins - Mullarkey - Culibao Add: Menifield And here's the Multi Master.

Meanwhile, Everton should have led at HT -- 2 of the best chances, where's DCL's nose for goal gone? I did think Dyche would bring this effect -- switching some players to positions they hadn't played in years.
Dyche is really a decent manager. I prolly should've paid more attention before making these parlays as I honestly really didn't know he was coming to replace Lampard. I just found out when the match started. Lolol. Sean Dyche could just be the manager to bring back Everton to consistently finish midtable every season just as the genius Moyes did back in the day. Anyway, another potentially good manager to look out for is Vincent Kompany who is doing well at Burnley rn. |
