It's quite impressive to see how all the members responded about the Video.
Some say that the video is just a setting video that has been screened well because it is unlikely that someone will be willing to risk all his money in just 1 round.

But some people also say this could have been real, and the bet was done consciously and knowing that the risk would be very high and this is quite crazy.

These responses indicate that each person's point of view will be different about the video.
Here I just want to emphasize that taking lessons from such betting videos is wise,
so it will warn ourselves not to be rash and full of calculations to make big bets, because luck will not always come.

Thought I had seen this one many moons ago. And after checking out the video from the link, indeed I had.
You can tell this was from the early 2000's or even 1990's from the clothes and actually the roulette wheel.
They do not look like that anymore and has more metals such as gold and silver around the middle of the wheel.

Also the guy who won his life savings worth in chips bet on red.
Since the release of a movie from 1992 the famous line by the main character:
"Always bet on black." many people have related to putting it all on this color and letting it land where it may on the roulette table.

Musk was asked at a Tesla meeting in Germany if they would ever allow a car to be purchased with Dogecoin.
Here was his response to this a couple of days ago:

when I talk to a dear Italian friend, I make a joke... "my bank is different, my bank is called Jannik Sinner!"
Now, after 19 consecutive victories I will be forced to review my investment plan Roll Eyes however he Is performing very well and I am not surprise that he can reach 1 position in atp ranking in few months

The more I hear his interviews the more I think he is so grounded and has a brilliant
Tennis brain. Its hard to believe he is only 22 really. The future is looking unbelievable
really and it will be interesting to see how he progresses and changes, he will have to
because other players will get to know his game.

He faces Alcaraz next, this is a massive semi final two young "next generation" players.
He is slight favourite 1.65 and Alcaraz is 2.20, so either was we will make good money,
who to back though? has to be Sinner!

Did anyone witness the invasion of Bees at the start of the  Zverev v Alcaraz match?
very bizzare!

Medvedev got the job done against Rune and now faces Paul, TBH its looking like
a Sinner v Medvedev final in my book.
That is an unbelievable run by Jannik Sinner and didn't realize it til they showed the statistics up during the match of how many consecutive matches he had won so far.
Had an all-in bet last night on him so tell your friend he is my bank too! Grin

The bees were enough to suspend play for nearly 2 hours until they had bee keepers come in to corral them.
There were still a few left after they started playing inwhich Alcaraz said he was worried enough about them.
Night have an allergic reaction if he got stung by one.

Hard to say who will be in the finals because thses semi-finals look tough.

Did I say about my new yolo market (penalties awarded).

I started from $207. All in on penalties awarded.

This was my fourth one. Such a scary bet, you will always pray there are no penalties when the defending team is fighting relegation, are up 3 goals, and trying their best not to let the opposing team score. Bournemouth still managed to win by scoring 4 goals in second half!!

And I saved my bet. Now I need to all-in 2 more times to get double. But I'm wondering, is it time to stop or go degen lol


Remember seeing you mention about this adventure on the Sportsbet.io announcement thread around a week or so ago. So it is still going strong?
It is tempting since the odds are low.
But by experience, I have lost bets at 1.06x so those bets are not a guarantee to win.
Believe you me.
They hurt more to lose because you win at alot less due to the lower risk value.
Just don't bet on the Champions league because it seems atleast one match always go into penalties.

What a day of upsets yesterday first with Aryna Sabalenka then with Taylor Fritz.
Both bowing out at the Indian Wells Masters.
Holger Rune winning against the home country favorite at the tournament wasn't looking like it would happen after going down in the first set 6-2. Prematch the dane was 2.49x so the bookmakers knew the young player was in poor form going into this match.
Fritz was just one match point away in the second set of taking the set and the match. But then perseverance took over once Rune knew he had him in the tiebreaker for set two. Winning it 7-2.
Unbelievable comeback and the momentum was certainly in his favor going into the final frame. Winning 6-3 in set three.
Had an all-in and definitely thought I had lost it after the first set but some how Holger found his groove and is to face Medvedev in the quarter-finals.

Bearman was impressive during the race. He attracted Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu's attention quite much by this performance as well. For now he is competing in F2 maybe but he is getting more likely to join F1 next season day by day. There have already been news on the internet like Haas is planning to sign him.

Both of Magnussen and Hulkenberg's contracts are going to end by the end of this season. If one of the replacements is Bearman then I wonder who the other one will be. Bearman is only 18 years old as well. I believe he is the future of Ferrari too if he continues to perform ambitiously.
Well then that aligns well with everything mentioned by F1 media with them seeking a new driver or drivers.
The team needs a serious overhaul before next season as they are one of the worse teams from what the first two races of the season has shown. Them and Alpine which I think they are slightly worse.
I believe they mentioned Bearman finished first in the  F2 race the day prior to them calling him to replace Sainz.

No race this weekend as their next stop is to the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Australia,

It is doing it's job and garnering attention and deny it or not, its getting us commenting on the subject whether we like to admit it or not.
You can't saw it isn't fascinating to debate about if it is right or wrong.
One youtuber which sounds like an AI voicechanger type bot account had a video I watched yesterday. Well due to Joe Rogan was mentioned in the title yet barely had any footage between him and Paul in the video.

Some points to get you thinking about this fight, a devolution of the sport of boxing?
Perhaps. But entertaining to ponder about.
Joe Rogan BRUTALLY WARNS Jake Paul Of Fighting Mike Tyson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGGyM_2PsNg

This seems to be going in through the motions as there is a clip out there where Iron Mike is back into training.
Yes, it did already garner the attention of anyone in sports, not just in boxing, as this is being discussed already.

a. It's just a question on how Mike Tyson is fit at 58 years of age. Will this affect his legacy as of the greatest in the HW division? Although is career has been a lots of up and down but he is considered one of the legends already. So him accepting this fight against a youtuber could really affected is legacy in my opinion specially for boxing purist.

b. Jake Paul is small for a HW, as far as I know he is a CW, so this could be a mismatch for Mike Tyson. But he has the youth advantage, but he should still be careful as Mike could still carry that power even at this age.
For you to know the answer to your first point, you just have to look at the way the Mayweather fight between them went.
Did it affect his legacy as a boxer? Don't think he cared.
Since his nickname is Money Mayweather so you know he only cared about the bag at the end.

It will be a crazy event, i mean, the age difference is huge, and that gap will make Mike the underdog, but we all know Mike Tyson is a true legend, and he knows how to fight, if he takes this fight seriously then he will try to destroy jake on each punch.

Another fact is the money involved in the event, with such crazy amounts the event could even be scripted, we know everyone has a price, and if Jake pays enough money to Mike to let him win, then it will happen.

I think so too, he still has the concepts and technique. He knows what to do there and has a lot of experience. If it really is a real fight and not an exhibition for both to earn loads of money, it will be something very equal.

I think it will be scripted, and with the way Mike Tyson is promoting it, I mean we have seen videos of him circulating and doing the training as if he is going to fight for the HW belt. So I have doubts in this fight and it could really be scripted.

And with the money involved, they could really play it out for the fans and hype the fight. Mike is going to be 58 years old fight night, and so even if he trains a lot his body might be telling him otherwise, in my opinion. We all love Mike Tyson, but not sure if this is the best thing for him.
This is definitely scripted.
The promotional video he put out with him talking to his dad, if you look at the reflection, they are sitting infront of a television with a screensaver on. Now that is hilarious.

There was one guy who mentions they will have a no-headshot rule for this match.

Looks like a great win there @ralle14!
Thanks. The injuries for the Timberwolves are starting to become a problem.

Once I hit this ticket, i'll probably participate in that prize drop promo and I hope I can get at least $25 in case I lose my bet.  Wink

I was also looking forward to an Arsenal or Barca daily special, and I guess they have different plans since they're currently offering markets for the other Champions League match.


Well that was a shame because both matches were thrillers and especially at great value too!
Barcelona were 1.77x before the match and dispatched Napoli easily with a 3-1 win scoring 2 goals in the first half.
Arsenal were 1.36x to qualify because they were down one goal on aggregate against Porto, who infact took them out from advancing season prior. So the gunners make it to the quarter-finals of the Champions league.

Both bets made earlier today landed smoothly so should receive another one but not as much from before:


As for the drops, I noticed when after losing that betslip which I used the freebet from, the rollover progress screen disappeared from the rewards page.
This is because I had only $20usdt left and bet it back to the $85 on the roulette table.

So yes @Trofo you do need to complete the progress so to be able to keep the amount. So it is a rollover bonus to complete because I did try to withdraw that $85 but it gave an error stating "There is not enough funds available to do this withdrawal".

Don't think we will be seeing Marlon Vera fight for a long while until he recovers from that full five round massacre.
Suga Sean O'Malley displayed a masterclass performance and what the Suga Show is all about.
He could face Merab and still turn out a few more fights for the year.

As for the one more bout we were all waiting to be announced for April's main event.
It is Renato Moicano vs Jalin Turner so to complete the schedule for UFC 300:

The thing is there is a rollover progress bar so I can receive another amount of free chips for the Newcastle Roulette game up to $5000usdt.

You were correct!
Bearman did very decent work at his first F1 GP because he was plucked out of F2 to fill in for the Ferrari team.
He did such a smashing job that Haas were eyeing him as a prospect for next season, according to some reports.

Since there wasn't much else to talk about for the outcome of this race because Verstappen made it another notch in the winning streak from last season, we have Oliver to take all F1 fans attention.
He did impress Lewis Hamilton and being the first British driver since forever to drive a scuderia he took that away from the Brit for next season:

Falcons are indeed a great team but owning 2 finals in a row BetBoom with 3-0 is kinda rough for a team like BB to accept and I'm sure this team will bounce back stronger and maybe they will get revenge on ESL Birmingham in a couple of weeks.

Overall , what can I say about this finals besides Ammar making Eye of Skadi in 3rd map on hero Mars who absolutely had a massive impact on health regen on Morph and his ability to moprh intro strength got basically cut in half. That's why I consider Ammar a very IQ talented player who knows how to approach a game and get out of comfort zone when it comes to builds , play-style and many more.  Cool
That was nuts!
Before this finals I had never watched a match of Team Falcons or ever even heard of them before being mentioned on this thread.
https://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/news/70788-team-falcons-keep-the-wins-rolling-claim-dreamleague-season-22-championship-title
Watched a bit of the last map and they were dominate from what I had seen from their gameplay.

Might make a bet on them for their next tournament they qualify for because I really thought BetBoom was sure to take this DL and go all the way winning it.

Just received my freebet from the ZED Run promotion but the horse I bet on lost obviously since it was in third place all race except for the very last 30 seconds came in second last.

Only market offered to me in Sportsbet Special section is for the boxing match later on tonight:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/today
Same, mine finished 4th and i had bet top 3

Regarding todays EPL, i love a wager on man utd to win at even odds. I think its a good play
EPL matches were hard to bet on as there were 4 draws out of the 9 from the weekend games, including the one which ended today between Manchester City vs Liverpool.
Would of bet on over goals so good thing missed out on betting today after having a good run from Friday with betting on Joshua for boxing and ending with O'Malley in the UFC yesterday.

Tomorrow there is one match in the EPL between Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Here are the markets for the Sportsbet.io sponsored squad:

UFC 299 was a really good fight card with alot of the fighters many MMA fan's predictions going very well.
Underdogs were getting those wins many were going for regardless.
Dustin Poirier beating Saint-Denis in the co-main was a great example of those who liked seeing the Diamond coming back.
Petr Yan was good to see as many saw him being washed up after having four losses and not looking good to continue if he lost to Song Ya Dong. But somehow he came back with top notch takedowns and wrestling that he was known for in octagon.

Sean O'Malley didn't disappoint and just destroyed Chito's face with a knee that could be heard threw out the Arena when it landed.

Merab had tried to congratulate Suga Show after the match at the back hallway but Sean didn't seem to recognize him.
It was a funny thing to see:

He is the full story and it was what he said after his win:

While Verstappen has 1.15 odds it is 8.00 for his closest opponent who is Leclerc.  The gap is just huge even for the start of the season. But any of us surprised with that? I don't think so.



Perez is given 25.00 odds for the win... Still he is in a really bad condition. He is just not the right driver for the seat anymore and Red Bull boss must be also aware of that. I know I'm prejudiced as the season is starting new. But after seeing this performance in qualifying I just can't see any difference with the previous season.

Red Bull overlook this for now because of Verstappen's single-handedly carrying the team but at some point Perez would be shown the door.
Odds for Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is even lower.
After qualification and Verstappen getting pole position the odds were 1.16x
Now they have lowered all the way down to 1.12x

Verstappen got pole as usual,
Meanwhile he has basically given an ultimatum that if marko helmut is let go , he will also leave red bull

That is interesting since there were news swirling that Toto was proposing towards Max so to fill in where Lewis left a slot as the lead driver.

Saudi Arabian GP starting in about 3 hours from now so place a guaranteed bet on another Max Win?

MVP huh, they already have an abbreviation for him just like most of the veterans on the UFC roster and he hasn't even stepped foot in the octagon for his new organization yet.
Since he is from the UK there was some footage out with him training with Tom Aspinall.
As one person put it during the weigh-ins yesterday, these two are dopplegangers.
Holland has the reach and exact same fighting style as Page so this will make for an interesting fight for sure.
I believe that is why the odds are so close.

Actually the entire main card has fights that are very hard to decide on who will win their bouts and you just have to make a choice and stick to it. That's all you need to do.

Merab is the backup fighter and weighed in yesterday just incase. So it would be good if Suga Show won because fans want to see those two go at it ever since the jacket wearing incident with Aljo.

As for the co-main event, it is 5 rounds so this one will test Saint Denis cardio because we all know Poirier can go the distance but the question is, can he comeback from that devastating loss to Gaethje?

Think I will be betting fight by fight and rolling the winnings into the next fight until the end.
No parlay busters for me this time! Grin

Anyway, the last game for today would be GG vs XG. I cant recall the last time GG missed a playoff so they should be the safe bet for this last game though but the I just checked the odds and it sucks so bad. Its only 1.65 for GG to win and Im not buying it, not even gonna think of taking -1.5 because I might got screwed again lol
See this is why I should shut my mouth up because everything has been going the opposite of what I wrote / said. My losing streak in dota2 is just unbelievable. Well not really losing streak but I lost like 8 times out of 10 times betting and that sucks. Geez I guess GG is already out of the favourites huh, this is the first time since like the last 1.5 years that they dont make it to the playoff
That tends to happen to me aswell when I am betting on other sports, so it just might work for you with betting on Dota2.
Remember Garmin Gaming winning all their matches last year so it just might be the patch boltz has mentioned just below your post on why your picks have been off is all.
Adjust to what those changes affect the teams. So in other words, observe what those where after the update.
Works for me for the entire overall of CounterStrike.
