So we are off to the next UFC and it is just explosive since they had been building it up where it climaxed at the last event with these two throwing down in the crowd.
I still cant adapt to the fact that Sean Strickland is the new middleweight champion after beating Israel Adesanya, but I dont think he is going to keep the belt for long.
If Dricus Du Plessis dont take it away from him this weekend someone else will do it, maybe Adesanya in rematch.
He is a good fighter but I was never a big fan of him.
Neither can I.
That championship bout against Israel seems like a vivid dream and to this day hasn't completely sunk in quite yet. But then again, here we are!
He is going against DDP and from accounts on all the rampant MMA youtubers are contending to say whomever wins will face Adesanya in UFC 300.
Either way Dana gets a fight which he can hype up bigger than a McGregor fight. But not as big as a Khabib comeback to the octagon. Who are we kidding, that would be massive as Zlatan put on his socials the other day with a photo with the retired owner of Eagle MMA fighter.

But back to Strickland, this youtuber of his has mentioned he is a real life GTA character:

Buffalo are through with a great performance and it wasn't in any doubt that they would go thru to the next championship game against the Chiefs.
Here are some pictures of the fans having fun in the snow:

Really nice video of the unveiling of the new RB car for 2024 season!
Totally forgot it will be in another month as the time is quickly approaching for the new season so let's get to it already!

@ILuckyGuyI
I know what you mean. Many were even to the point of wanting Perez to go off to another team but they were sorely disappointed.
More or less another year of pure domination so those we believe it will be are already looking towards 2026.

@ralle14. I reckon after witnessing how the Cowboys lose against the Packers, we cannot underestimate the Rams. Matthew Stafford is a better quarterback than Jared Goff, the Rams have rookie offensive player candidate Nacua, Cooper Kupps is healthy and Kyren Williams appear to have been doing his job good enough for what his team needs. This would be not very surprising if the underdogs are not really the underdogs heheheeh.
Those were some games last night and the huge upset of the Dallas Cowboys who were major favorites destroyed almost all accas. They were @1.30 prematch to beat the Green Bay Packers.
Those were sucker odds and everybody fell for it including myself, unfortunately destroying my last betslip of the night. We would of seen that score coming as the Packers lead 27-0 at one time in the game.
Dallas was mounting a comeback very late in the game but couldn't get past the Packers defense.
So they are out of the playoffs, just like that.

The wild card game was just that wild!
Lions won it with Goff and breaking a 32 year old drought which made the fans relieved because it could of ended in hearbreak since possibly rookie of the year had 182 yards breaking a record last night. https://www.thescore.com/s/26192556
But unfortunately Puka Nacua team loss to Detroit and it ended up being 24-23.
@ralle14 very sad to see that betslip was dead.

But as rohang has mentioned above we have the postponed match being played tonight that is if the conditions have allowed them to start clearing all that snow and if the weather holds up in the next 9-10 hours before kick-off.

Here are those markets:

Congratulations to you guys who bet for Magomed Ankalaev. I should've taken that KO/TKO win. But it's okay, a win is still a win.
Johnny Walker did great in the first round showing an impressive usage of his kickboxing style. He was so aggressive offensively and I really thought he might win that fight if he could just land one of those kicks. Ankalaev on the other hand started slow, he ain't throwing much in the first round, and then the bad low blow. Ouch!
The second round was so bad for Walker, he is just circling around not throwing anything. His kicks are scary although risky but one hit could definitely change the game. But Ankalaev got him first, what a great accurate powerful punch, and just one follow-up punch made the referee decide to stop it and I think that's a perfect stoppage or else there will be more damage. It's too strong that Walker bounced on the cage and obviously that's lights out for him.
I bet Anakalaev's camp will now be hunting for the title match this year.
Dana White will not let that happen since he favors the fighters which he likes and unfortunately Anakalaev is not one of them. He does not want to see him move up in his organization at all.
There are political motivations behind it also what Magomed said after the fight with Walker during the interview which he did not like at all. Having that illegal knee thrown towards Walker in their last fight made Dana White even more mad about Anakalaev's face value fighting in the UFC,
Seen all the mess Magomed had done within the UFC from a youtuber I regularly watch but he mostly talks about what happens outside of the octagon and not what actually matters and that is what happens inside, so for this very reason is why I don't bring that kind of discuss in here because that is just drama and deserves to stay outside our talks here. Poltical agendas and who says what is irrelevant to us as it is unjustified to even speculate about unreliable facts.

@owengtam09
Congratulations on the selections you have got correct for this UFC 84 in Vegas as yours was on the previous page so did not see them when I responded to YuginKadoya.
But well done and it is the first event of the year so this is just a warm up session for us fans.

Just wondering if you guys got any of the sports special? I havent seen anything at all though and we are way past the holiday season with all league already up and running full throttle but we dont get any of the special yet.
I only see the daily specials for tomorrow's match (South Korea vs Bahrain) and the markets are all for South Korea.


Don't know when they had the Son Specials up for the South Korea vs Bahrain markets open but they are gone now with that match starting in about 7 hours from now.
Here is what I see and it is the same as yours:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/daily-specials/matches/future

Just happy to see the Sportsbet.io Specials are back and there are something there now. So to compare the markets so to seek better value with them and the price boost applied.

@arallmuus
They come and they vanish as I been checking frequently as much as I could.
Since they were no longer there for several weeks. You have to just be lucky when to see them, check via you browser then if not there maybe see if they are there on your mobile. Then you can troubleshoot this way when asking their live support about it. Then at that point we can seek further assistance from steve once all other options are exhausted.

Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies based out of Easton, PA. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.
I have been a shareholder of Tesla since 2012 and currently own Tesla stock.

From the looks of it you also had a successful night in the UFC betting wise.
Well played @YuginKadoya !
The co-main event was cancelled so we had Jim Miller fill in with his fight instead and that one didn't disappoint.
To the point where there is now talk for this grizzled veteran to take on another fighter who is currently working the mic as an announcer in Felder to be in UFC 300.
As his swan song just like what happened to Lawler about 6 months back when he retired from the sport and was given a good send off with that wicked KO win.

The usual suspects won and alot of finishes this night for a not too bad UFC Fight Night at the Apex.

Jesus guys, that was one helluva first day of the weekend for these play-offs!
Weather did indeed play a major factor there @bbc.reporter !
To the point the Bills game was moved from the heavy snow storm that postpone their matchup with the Steelers to Monday from what I remember seeing on the situation there with the blizzards.

Had both the Texans and Chiefs winning last night and neither disappointed in my NFL predictions.
And a huge congratulations to @morvillz7z for that solid 5.00x betbuilder on the Houston game.
Well played and good to see ahead in hindsight that Flacco's confidence was going to eventually collapse so very well done!

Chiefs were locked in since the weather did play a huge factor as well with it being the 4th coldest NFL game ever.
It started cold and since it was nighttime it plunged even further I think to -5 or something like this so it was very cold and conditions the Miami boys were not prepared for.

This was the match that won me the most as it was on all my slips and the last leg to win on an acca with some MMA fights.

So overall a very successful weekend.
How was all of yours, hopefully just as good!
353  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF on: January 13, 2024, 03:30:19 PM
From my understanding and from what I have seen on the ETF commercials, you should be able to buy them and sell them on the popular stock exchange apps. I did read however that Vanguard[1] and another company decided to block these transactions.

[1] https://blockworks.co/news/vanguard-disallows-bitcoin-etf-trading
This is what caused the dump in price.
Once one rejects the ETF then others question their decision.

It seems unlikely since there were so many that got approved I counted 11 at one point but probably more since now the floodgates have opened for all this institutional money to be applied to the bitcoin revolution on the global financial system.

If I am correct the divisional round might be played by these teams.

AFC
Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills

NFC
Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers
Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys
Good matchups on this NFL Play-offs weekend for certain bbc.reporter!

Truth be told owengtam09 I was not too excited to see this card when I first heard about it, being the first fight event of the year and all with the fighters having all that time off for the holidays and two extra weeks afterwards you would be thinking octagon rust.
But no, it will be fine and the fights are starting to grow on me too.

Yup! This is the 1st fight of the year and yes there might be some who are not really interested in seeing the rematch for Ankalaev VS Walker but there are some who because there is no certain available event are excited that there are right now, sure if this is a bigger event that we got in the start of the year the next event will not be appreciated for sure so a fight night like this will be appreciated by some, because right now they are thankful to have an event, because of the long wait,

Mape was the fight I was wanting to see aswell since he had three cancelled fights last year and then fought Felipe Dos Santos and won. So he is back on my interest of a fighter radar again.

Are you talking about Manel Kape? if so his opponent was Matheus Nicolau who is also a great fighter even though he got lost against Brandon Royval it doesn't mean that he will not do well against Manel Kape for sure he will do great as they already face each other on March 13, 2021, and it was a clear close match but I think Matheus Nicolau did well with his takedowns and now that they are back maybe I would go with Matheus Nicolau for this one,

As for all this Aspinall and Bones Jones talk, it has been all talk so far.
And that is all it has been and to me.
This is quite boring to hear from these two if they are not going to throw down.

Right now there is no official statement from Dana White and the UFC so yes this is just a boring talk to witness but if there is an official statement that the UFC and Dana White to say a fight schedule then we can surely see it taking place right now it is just talk,
For being one so early starting mid-afternoon, they are not having any early prelims which sounds strange but true.

Also guess what?
Manel Kape fight has been cancelled due to him missing at the weigh-ins yesterday. Roll Eyes
"Manel Kape has missed weight for his UFC Vegas 84 co-main event against Matheus Nicolau. Kape weighed in at 129.5 lbs - 3.5 lbs over the 126 lbs flyweight non-championship limit. The fight is now canceled."
source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/ufc/ufc-vegas-84-main-card-fighter-misses-weight-fined-25-of-salary
Well not so much of surprise with his last year success rate at getting into the octagon being a quarter. Cheesy

Still have some good fights to look forward too. So here are those markets in anticipation for them:

Monthly for US players has just been released, when for the global (.com) players? Will it be on next Monday because it is Friday already and as far as I remember it is rare for .com players to get monthly or other bonus a day before the weekly bonus.

His confused face says everything. He maybe wanted to clear a mistake and just made it worse and worse.
Typical example of having a bad day.
For me he looks like a new dealer who lack of experiences so he had no idea on what to do to solve the mistake. I guess he is following an instruction from someone but he was confused a bit with the instructions. 
Accidently clicked the link thinking it was for *.com players taking me to the US side of the site. Of course didn't have my credentials pertaining to the side entered due to being a com player from the very start of joining.
Many are saying since the US players are getting reloads the COM users will be receiving their monthly on Monday.
Since they NEVER have released a monthly within 24 hours of the weekly being released right before a megarace livestream session.
So they should strop saying WEN MONTHLY on their X account by the end of the weekend then.
Anyone else see this Sonic picture for the Wen monthly post?

No Sportsbet,io Specials lately. But I guess that is why they released ZED Run so to have us have our interests peaked into something else for a change.

There has been a new promotion released to get our interests back into the EPL!


https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2024-01-epl-rewads

Placed my bet as soon received the notifications about it and the freebet was already on my account to start placing a bet with. Tried many different combinations and only EPL matches are valid for this free bet unlike in the past was able to mix them around with other sports such as tennis and basket-ball.

Tried an Australian Open match but it didn't accept the bet, only after removing it did end up working.

Probably TheQuin has forgot about it or is too busy as normally these kind of bets are always available.
Most probably TheQuin is on a vacation, that's why the crypto betting hasn't been added yet. This delay isn't related to the SEC decision or any other thing.

So, there is a possibility that BTC, ETH, and FUN token bets may not appear this month. I'm wondering why other members of the freebitcoin team won't do it if TheQuin is absent.
TheQuin add those betting market manually, he also credits the winnings to the user account manually by considering the final outcome odds and time weight multiplier. The parimutuel betting system is a bit different. It will be a very difficult task for other staff who hasn't taken care of this before. Maybe the absence of TheQuin has created this situation. wetsuit should really focus to create an automated payout system for the Freebitco parimutuel betting system.
Had already tested out their betting on sports around the New Years and they do take some time to get them graded after the matches already have completed with the resulted outcomes finalized on all other sportsbooks. As per their terms & services so that was expected within the upto 48 hour timeline.

And the odds were smaller than expect since it is what you had mentioned for their betting system.
You are betting PvP which I have done on other sites so this again, was expected.

Overall the experience is standard in a faucet site trying to be passed off as a sports betting site.
The collecting interest on any balance you have left on the site is something else which I would need to explore more into. But thats for another time.
Will wait on TheQuin for any further updates to watch out for over the course of how many tokens I have locked up during the term(s) chosen and agreed too prior on starting out within the FUN ecosystem.

Thanks for explanatins on ZED horses. So in the end, they are still practically just plain NFTs with characteristics but they don't really develop or evolve which is a shame after all these years NFT is still so static (I don't know how else to explain).

Actually all the PR on ZED run says provably fair but I couldn't locate anything about provably fair mechanism... maybe I can't find it? It would be also slightly disappointing they don't use blockchain cryptography/hash function to make provably fair results. Which is the whole point of crypto gaming supposedly!!


Not too certain if you are expecting them to look different from race to race with the same characteristics.
They have their genetics passed on down from horse to horse when breeding them. So not sure if you are considering this as those are characteristics not physical but statistically there are advantages passed on down the lineage.
Axie Infinity they were evolving or as most would see it growing your monsters.
Concerning about the provably fair mechanism. Are you certain about that slaman29?
Maybe best to do the research from their own main site.
Here it is: https://zed.run/ and/or contact their live support since they can offer the support you need as this is their game and the site just offers their game to place the bets on.

Have been watching this for the past 15 minutes a livestream done when they first were trying to garner attention to this new way to horse race with the NFT market just starting out in this field of play-to-earn gaming:

ZED RUN Live Stream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b6BzhnNtWY

At nearly 12 hours of footage from their official youtube channel, this should give you enough information you so desire (as well from their website) to get to know how the racing system works.
