Here are the result for my picks for Bellator 290: Bader vs. Emelianenko 2

Ryan Bader VS Fedor Emelianenko ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

Father time is not really kind to Fedor Emelianenko you can see that Emelianenko now struggles with his balance, but like what I have seen with what is happening to Glover Texeira their age has caught up to them, and there is no stopping the process of getting old, Emelianenko got out the balance with Dark Bader's punches and you can surely see that Fedor Emelianenko really can't keep up with The Dark Bader ending the fight with a bloodied emperor,

Johnny Eblen VS Anatoly Tokov ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

What a Performance for Johnny Eblen securing his 1st title defense it was a unanimous decision victory, and you can see in the 1st round Eblen is pressuring Tokov in the corner, and with Precision strikes from Johnny Eblen those punches were accurate you will know that he was not throwing random punches and the judges were all for him in this fight,

Henry Corrales VS Akhmed Magomedov ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Well, the only loss that I get in this card, and I thought that the undefeated will still finish his fight unscathed but Henry Corrales got a great takedown defense and Henry Corrales surely is using his height and weight advantage so he could not be taken down by Magomedov, that is why he had doubted himself if he can takedown Corrales, and I have noticed that Akhmed Magomedov looks weak side by side with Henry Corrales, so for me, he needs to build more muscle or even strength because that is the way to win against guys with great takedown defense, you need to mull them with your strength,





Yup, I thought Fedor had somewhat of a chance before the event.  Lol.  Like Lewis I feel like they're just out there to fight and treating it more like a job and as a way to earn money now rather than going out there for the glory and the W then somehow getting a title shot.  I guess it comes with age.

Henry Corrales on the other hand, schooled Magomedov and showed him what's what.  I think the line was something over 3 to 1.  Bellator events used to have most of the favorites winning.  Now it looks like the books aren't as sharp as they used to.  Could be good to start paying more attention to it.

^^ Devin Clark surprised me with his offence and takedowns and that kind of fighting style had an impact on Da Un Jung to open up and land his patented elbows, it was a great fight plan by Devin Clark and i lost one parlay because of that  Cry.


Was expecting Derrick Lewis to bounce back and win but another wrestling masterclass from Serghei Spivac who ragdolled Derrick Lewis as if he was some lower weight division fighter  Cheesy.  

Exactly.  I kinda expected that Jung could be a pie shtter but I didn't expect him to be that huge a pie shtter.  I prolly should've known.  His name is Jung...  :/  But yeah, I suck at this.  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.

^  Then I'd say their lists are out dated too.  But then again as you said, it's just a matter of opinion.  I've gambled using Nitrogen, Nitrobetting and Betcoin.  I could def say that Stake trumps all sports betting sites in crypto rn.  It has the best lines, good props and has live betting for MMA.  The way the site layout was made is one of the best too imho.

Another book in crypto worth looking into is Betnomi for uncommon sports like surfing if you guys are into that sort of thing.

The only good think today for Chelsea was the magnificent game made by Enzo Fernandez, really good crosses and passing, one key passes.

But asides of that.... nothing new below the sky, maybe a some good things of Madueke but nothing important. Mudryk.... NOTHING.

No body did anything in this match for Chelsea. Had goals and moneyline on Chelsea but they just couldnt do anything today. They are so bad that im thinking of betting every game against them in the future. A new coach is a must in this team for sure. Everything is awful

It's not the manager, it's the players and prolly the club overall.  Put a good manager in there and it'll just be mostly more of the same.  They aren't the team that won the CL with Tuchel anymore.  Not sure what went on after when Roman Abramovich left but these guys haven't looked really great since winning the CL.

And about Enzo, I'm not really convinced with the guy yet.  Not especially with his price tag.  :/

Anyway, I got a parlay with Arsenal, Brentford, Brighton and Newcastle at 5.70 and it looks like it's ending with the first match. 
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 04, 2023, 01:01:43 PM
Be care tho.  Now I feel like I should've waited for the weigh ins and the face offs.  Lol.  There are some pie shtters up there now that I think about it.  Jung is a risk, JY Park, Kim and prolly Kinoshita too.
I'm probably going to put a small amount on a bet, but it'll be different to the actual predictions I put. Here's what I'm thinking:

Derrick Lewis by TKO/KO
Mandy Bohm by decision
Denis Tiuliulin
Tatsuro Taira

Now, that isn't the best odds, but I think those are the only one's that offer value, and at the same time don't worry me massively. As you can see, I've actually gone against some of my predictions, and gone for the massive underdog in Mandy Bohm. I wouldn't follow this bet, as it's definitely on the risky side, but that's what I'm going to put a small amount on. I haven't seen the weigh ins yet either.

What would your favourites be? I might incorporate a rather long accumulator with the Bellator guys on tonight.

Favorites that I really like for Bellator?  Gracie and Eblen.  As for the UFC, they're mostly sketchy but I'd still go for Jung for the lack of a better choice and Taira.  I got both at the top of my lottery ticket and another guy. 

Another underdog who could win is Yi Zha as he as the experience edge. 

Here are the weigh in and the face off vids.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYn8sq_fSPc

UFC Vegas 68:  Face Off

Weigh in results.  Everybody made weight.

Derrick Lewis (265) vs Serghei Spivac (255.5)
Devin Clark (204.5) vs Da-un Jung (205)
Blagoy Ivanov (256.5) vs Marcin Tybura (253.5)
Dooho Choi (145.5) vs Kyle Nelson (145.5)
Adam Fugitt (170.5) vs Yusaku Kinoshita (170.5)
Anshul Jubli (155.5) vs Jeka Saragih (155)
Jeong Yeong Lee (145) vs Yi Zha (145.5)
Toshiomi Kazama (136) vs Rinya Nakamura (135)
Seung Guk Choi (125.5) vs Sung Hyun Park (124.5)
Mandy Bohm (125.5) vs Ji Yeon Kim (125.5)
Junyong Park (185.5) vs Denis Tiuliulin (186)
Jesus Aguilar (125) vs Tatsuro Taira (125.5)

Looks like Lewis' diet didn't work.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  He's still 265 lbs.

Possible good spots for underdogs in Bellator 290.  Now don't bet on this without digging for a little more info and a little bit of tape study at MMA Core.  These are all at first glance just by looking at the lines and their Tapology profiles.  Here goes...

Larkin
Isaev
Rohskopf
Neal
Caldwell

Again not sure about it as favorites usually win in Bellator.  But telling you guys anyway for the bragging rights.  Cheesy

Fun parlay could be Gracie, Eblen then gambol on Bader.  That should be a good sweat vs Fedor.
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 03, 2023, 04:21:32 PM
Anyway here's my lottery ticket.

Jung - Kinoshita - Taira at 2.01
Add:  JY Park - Kim - Tybura at 6.50
Add:  Choi - Nakamura - H Park at 17.73
Add:  Lee - Jubli at 45.02
Add:  Lewis at 126.05

Just 10 bucks total for the lulz.
Mines probably going to be something similar. Still need to watch a little more tape. I keep boomeranging between Lewis, and Spivak. I promise to have my predictions out by tomorrow Tongue. By the way, I'm not reviewing tape on Lewis or Spivak, I just can't really choose. I'm trying to not take into consideration the weight change, but Lewis has had a rather rough time recently in the cage, and Spivak might play it safe, go for volume, and look to tire Lewis. I also think Lewis will be a little more timid than usual, due to being knocked out a few times now.

Be care tho.  Now I feel like I should've waited for the weigh ins and the face offs.  Lol.  There are some pie shtters up there now that I think about it.  Jung is a risk, JY Park, Kim and prolly Kinoshita too.

And about Lewis, I get it.  Sure he could be a little bit more careful than usual but he still has more experience fighting against the top guys, Spivak isn't really a guy who goes after KO's like Lewis' previous two opponents and Lewis is almost a 3 to 1 underdog.  Wink   I like it.

Anyway in case some of you guys are wondering, my lottery tickets' bet amounts per line are...

5
2
1
1
1

10 bucks total.

No offense Peeps Place but I think your list rated 'A' is kinda starting to become obsolete.  No way those books are at the top of the table rn.  Not shilling here but Stake is way better than the three of them by a mile.  Stake has the best lines, they accept most of the more popular coins and the site just looks way better.  No way Stake is just a 'B' imho.  Sportsbet doesn't deserve to be at 'C' too and again, not shilling...  And not gonna mention the name but there's another site that doesn't deserve to be at 'C'.  I mean with all the original features it has..?  Like clans, loot boxes, NFT lending, etc etc.  It's not just another book.
1551  Economy / Speculation / BTC Sentiment Poll for February on: February 02, 2023, 08:27:29 PM
It's looking like the bulls are back as we've seen with the more than the 30% rise in BTC's price just for the month of January alone.  But even with that high of a price increase, I still see some folks say that we're still not of the woods yet.  Surely there's some hope that we are out...  What do you guys think?

I didn't expect it to go up this high at 24k tbh.  I thought it was gonna go around 22k - 23k range, go back down to 20k then go side ways after that.

1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 02, 2023, 01:35:50 PM
~snip

I'm going for a Fulham win, Arsenal win, Aston Villa win, and Brentford win this weekend. Liverpool have Wolves, so we'll probably lose against then, let's be honest. We haven't had the best of luck with them recently.

you are betting on some underdogs like Fulham, not sure if they will be able to pull a win tomorrow against Chelsea
looking at odds, Newcastle seem as good value, they were low on scoring in several last rounds, but West Ham should be a good opportunity to change their luck, and win

but, overall, there was a two week break, and transfer window as well, so some unexpected results should come this round

Fulham could win imho.  So betting on Fulham draw no bet at 3.70 or Fulham double chance win or draw at 2.29 are def value bets.  I'm really not sure why the line is so wide as Chelsea has a lot of injuries and Joao Felix can't play because of the red card.  Lol.  And I hear Reece James and Ben Chilwell are doubtful.  I think Fulham could at least get a goal in.

I have the match 1 - 1 in the pool.  

I was gonna give up but I thought fk it, I'll try to win a yellow cap every week and get me some free bets.  Lol.
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 02, 2023, 01:24:11 PM
Yup those would be the most likely outcomes.  But I also wouldn't be surprised if we also see Jones subs Gane.  Just wondering at what odds did you get in them for and what sports betting site are you using?  Books usually don't have props this early even the fiat ones...
Go to a local betting shop and they will be happy to put the bets down way before the ones on the internet. They offer the odds based on the opening odds. My local betting store is a small business that does not offer much on their website too. They are not a big company like the ones you see bet365 or william hill. No Crypto physical betting stores. You can cancel your bet and get a refund if the websites are better priced to. I was looking for a online betting website but they all had moneylines and no methods of victory. They had method of victory only for the bellator and next ufc fight night but not jon jones or Makhachev.

Just wondering at what odds did they give you Makhachev via submission and Jones via TKO.

And wow, it's my first time hearing of a bookie who's willing to cancel their customers' bets if other books have better lines.  That's very generous of them...  Most books would lock it in since they already beat the market.

Anyway here's my lottery ticket.

Jung - Kinoshita - Taira at 2.01
Add:  JY Park - Kim - Tybura at 6.50
Add:  Choi - Nakamura - H Park at 17.73
Add:  Lee - Jubli at 45.02
Add:  Lewis at 126.05

I have placed bets on Makhachev submission  vs Volkanovski and a TKO victory for Jon Jones against Cyril Gane. What do you guys think about these bets? I nearly had the decision win for Jones but the odds were better for a tko which I think he could get because he can wrestle better and win by gnp. I have not put much on this and I am only worried about Jon Jones winning by decision. I think the makhachev bet is going to win but I am worried that Cyril Gane could play safe by moving around a lot.

Yup those would be the most likely outcomes.  But I also wouldn't be surprised if we also see Jones subs Gane.  Just wondering at what odds did you get in them for and what sports betting site are you using?  Books usually don't have props this early even the fiat ones...




I want to see Bobby up against Alex if possible though. Although, again I'd probably want Bobby to win I don't think he would, but since Izzy seems to have his number it'd be nice to see him going for champion status without going against Izzy.

That's gonna be like watching Whittaker going against a brick wall that hits back.  Cheesy  I'd take my chances and bet Whittaker via decision if that match up ever happens.  I think he won't choke at the last moments of the match like Adesanya did if ever.  Whittaker has no history with Pereira whatsoever, while Adesanya will always have those losses against Pereira in the back of his mind.

What do you guys think about the possibility that bitcoin will crash down below 20k again before going beyond 24k?
The economy is still tanking, unemployment is rising and rates are still high and we don't know when they will start getting lower. And the biggest thing is that we still didn't feel the effect of the rate hikes. Considering all this, I see a real possibility of bitcoin crashing down with other assets.
I don't see how we can get a soft landing when there is a statistic that every time after the fed pivot economy was dumping even harder.
I want to hear your perspective on this.BTC

Sure it's still possible for BTC to break down below 20k again but 12k as your title makes it look like that's what you're gunning for...  I don't think so or at least the window for the possibility of 12k is closing.  After all the stuff that has gone wrong last year, 12k should have already happened.  But it didn't.  It just shows to tell you that there are a lot less people willing to sell their bags at around 16k.  The right move imho.

So yeah...  The range BTC had from June to November could be it and it might not go back there again.  :/

^  What 'economic model'?  Are you talking about the supply?  Ok...  Yeah sure but think about this, if it's solely about the 'economic model', then why are there other coins that have limited supply, that's even more under 'serious development' than DOGE, have less market cap than DOGE?  It's all about the demand because it's the demand that dictates how high it goes.  And sure, DOGE's demand is the product of the hype behind the coin.  But then again almost everything in crypto has to do more about hype than anything else.  That's why my new thesis on how to make the most you can in the next bull market is all about coins with doge logos.  Cheesy

^  Not much to remember when you watch the match itself but it's one of the most iconic fights in McGregor's career imho.  He did the impossible by winning against the great Aldo in his prime.  And not only that, he did it in 30 secs.  It was brilliant as McGregor set it up during the build up going to the event.  He knew all his antics would eventually get to Aldo and he had the perfect move for it and he did it.  Aldo was tense, let it all of it go and McGregor was ready.  Such a brilliant move.

It was a page off Ali's play book.

But seeing what we saw, it's pretty obvious that Aldo prolly would win in a rematch.  Dunno or maybe McGregor lost something on the way, never to get it back.
