Edit: Winner, clean 3-0 win by Girona.  Cheesy

Outright bet for Girona to win LaLiga was @7 or something when I checked it few days ago. I personally think that they have a good chance but I wouldnt really want to lock away my bet over 6 months period for only 7x odds though. Not to mention that Real Madrid is currently pretty good as well so actually I would put it around 65% for Real Madrid and 35% chance for Girona to win by the end of the season for now



Anyway, not really an issue but does any of you got their sports special page removed to the back as well? I think this happened since monday iirc

Mine got removed and it was usually on the first 5 tab on top



could it be something to do with no sport special for the day? its abit inconvenience for me
Mine was showing this way as well. I think I've mentioned it on Monday below:
If your not seeing a special icon on your bar for the site your not alone.
I don't see one either.

edit: it is on the very far right of the slide bar but when clicked, there are no matches. So it is empty.

Sports has a slow week right before the holidays as I see the next match in the EPL is on Thursday.
It is because there hasn't been a MOTD/Sportsbet Specials available since then so the tab is not showing in the top 5 anymore.
If you scroll to the very far right you should see it the third or the fourth one available there.
But once again, when you click on it there is nothing there so it will be empty. I would wait unti they decide on what matches are worth to put up as a special. Or the one who puts them up is on holidays. Who really knows.

No big deal we still have matches going on for tomorrow in the EPL with Brighton hove Albion taking on Crystal Palace at home:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/premier-league/crystal-palace-v-brighton-hove-albion-657393dfb14b9900011ac9bc

This one is a tough one to decide on who will win the match.
They both haven't really been doing much as of late so a draw might be coming their way in this one.

This is really such a wild thing happening with bitcoin right now. Could ordinals become an even bigger hindrance and could the transactions keep becoming more and more expensive to process if this prolongs on the blockchain?

as long as there is demand to create and transfer ordinals at these fee levels then ya probably.
and even if it dies down and fees come down, that just means its now "cheep" to produce and trade ordinals, which might cause new poeple to mint more ordinals!

and its not just ordinals, we are entering a bull market for bitcoin and with that comes higher deamand for legit tranactions... fees are going to be out of this world pretty soon.
There are something in the works so to have inscriptions banned from the bitcoin blockchain all together.
Think it can be done with an upgrade such as taproot. I briefly heard about this bandage solution just recently by lobbying an association who is overseeing the actions of blockchain technology.
So at this point all we can do is wait and see.
But I do agree with you, it is definitely causing such congestion as of now and causing the fees for sending a transaction to rise with fighting for placement.

Do not know anybody who had Drew Lock and the Seahawks to win that game especially after the announcement of Geno Smith being out of the game.
The face of Jalen when the camera panned over to him with around a minute left sitting on the sidelines told the entire story: "It Hurts so much!"

We have some good matches coming up for the week with the playoff picture smoothing out a bit more.

Have you heard of the lately and greatest thing in the meme space today?
BONK run on the Solana blockchain.
Not sure if this has to do with BRC-20 tokens as I have not followed the Solana technology at all. Since FTX and their blockchain going down multiple times. Only blockchain that is secure is BTC.
Remember this number one law of the blockchain.
But it must be making moves in the cryptocurrency space. Solana came out with a phone and it sold out due to them airdropping this BONK token on every phone that from today's markets is worth more than buying than the phone itself. So those who managed to get one got paid to purchase this phone.
They were selling out within hours of multiple units in a course of being released yesterday.
Now that is a way to sell a product in the cryptoverse.
why did you think only btc blockchain is secure?
scrypt LTC/Doge chains are secure.
Yes but there are some real nonsense going on with those chains right now.
You seen this BEL token business that has been going on lately?
The creator of Doge coin had announced on his X feed what it is all about and it has skyrocketed the scrypt hashrate for the past few days only on the hype that it is backed by this: It was created before Litecoin and Doge.

Creator of Doge on X https://twitter.com/BillyM2k

https://twitter.com/_Bellscoin/status/1735236630414344546

Can you really take a project seriously when they are basing their altcoin on a Nintendo Switch game targeted between tweens?
Think there is a thread on here from 2013 for this BEL token which I believe was before the creation of Dogecoin.

That Memphis Grizzlies match was insane!
At one point I thought they were going to lose it for sure since the Pelicans were on a 10-0 when I was watching it and Grizzlies hadn't scored in 5 minutes at one point. So I thought they were done and just gave up the game at that point. They were down 24 points. The record is 26 points for a comeback by any team this season.
But then Ja Morant turned on the fire and scored a total of 34 points in his first game back since the 25 game eight month suspension. That was a very impressive win against a team such as the Pelicans with Zion who was shutdown with only 13 points.

The Golden State Warriors game was another one which didn't disappoint with Curry shooting that impossible three with 10 second left and Boston having no answers to them after that. That game did take overtime to decide it and it just ended.

Good breakdown on what happened to Bryce Mitchell after that brutal looking knockout with convulsions afterwards and him talking about it:
Sean Strickland REVEALS the reason why he ATT4CKED Du Plessis! Trump LEAVES during Colby's speech!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwwRNoVYRQ
He had a seizure and he could not even get up for minutes. Brutal, indeed.
Well, that's Josh Emmett, he is known to be the hardest puncher in their weight class but the surprising part is how much it affected Bryce Mitchell. I only celebrated after the hard punch but when I saw him having a seizure, I was more worried because the sound of the punch was like a stone hitting the face of Bryce. I hope he is okay.
What Daniel Cormier said after the punch was right. We see this happening with kicks but not with punches, that's how damn powerful the fists of Josh Emmett are.

Shavkat Rakhmonov of course finished Steve Thompson as it was fore told in the cards getting his 18 straight win. Belal will be his next opponent? I think they should give him a better challenge than poor Belal. Come on now!
Yeah! Give him a better one. Shavkat had been finishing his opponents too early which for me means there's a mismatch. Give him something more powerful that he will try to feel the pressure of the fight. But who is there? Cheesy Usman maybe? The Welterweight Gatekeeper. Well, he has a good wrestling offense and defense which might match Shavkat but I don't know about the standing fight. Shavkat is also powerful in his kickboxing skills and I bet he will use that as a strategy against Usman considering he was defeated by a deadly kick by Edwards.
There was an interview they had with Bryce Mitchell earlier out today. Being thankful Josh Emmett stopped right there and didn't go in with anymore to finish or he would of killed him with something like a hammerfist.
They were filming on a farm where he was when they called him a few weeks ago to take on this fight.
The frame of the farmhouse wasn't even completed yet. But he seemed happy just to be there and still alive.
Puts your life into perspective when you watch and hear what he was saying in that interview days after what could of been his last day on this earth. Pretty hard hitting stuff especially at this time year.
Never take anything for granted in your life because it could be the very last decision you ever make.

On to Shavkat Rakhmonov. I would think at this stage someone like Jack Della Maddalena has had the stage set for him to fight. But if Khamzat Chimaev comes back to his weightclass that would make for a very fair fight to have instead. But last time I heard him say he was tired of weightcuts so will probably stay at middleweight where he feels more comfortable and not stressing out trying to make weigh before a fight.

Jesus!
A 220+ odds acca depending on only a TD by a sure shot like Henry is heartbreaking!
I know that feeling as I had a similar acca that lost by one bout and it was a 133+ odds betslip for the UFC.
Same. Several weeks ago, I had a prop bet on the NBA and it's one of my worst losses after it lost by a point.

Is it weird to like the Seahawks today? Both faced the same opponents recently and the Eagles don't seem as threatening when they're starting to bottle. The Seahawks are in a worse spot, but their losses are much closer than the Eagles.


Game time change of quarterback for the Seahawks: Geno Smith is out and Drew Lock is in!


Don't know how this game is going to play out now.
Was watching the pre-game show and Hurts has an illness so won't be 100% but still playing. Geno was dressed and still able to play tonight but decided to go with the second string QB instead.

UFC 296 was a good way to end the year of 2023 with a bang!
Even fireworks in the crowd with DDP getting jumped by Strickland and the aftermath of that brawl. I think I even seen Dana trying to hold back Dricus during the whole incident. Doesn't it make it look more like WWE now? Jeezus christ!

I got the specials this time and went for the Liverpool special because Man United conceded three goals last time against Bournemouth.

They might've lost their final Europa League match, but it's probably not a big deal because they've rested some of their key players for this match, so i'm hoping they win and score at least three goals.
Ending in a 0-0 draw helps no one expect for those who actually put in bets on those scoreless draws just so to get nearly 10.00x odds on a fluke match such as this one. Also, Manchester United getting a point out of a match that everyone had predicted as a win for Liverpool. Even in the forum pool nobody got a point out of this result.

If your not seeing a special icon on your bar for the site your not alone.
I don't see one either.

edit: it is on the very far right of the slide bar but when clicked, there are no matches. So it is empty.

They came from the bottom of being 0-2 and then swept back GG into 3-2. That was actually a hype grand finals to be honest. I've never seen such game like this when we know that the other team was the strongest in the world for this year.
Same, a well-deserved win for Azure Ray when Gaimin Gladiators is always like the final boss for most teams from the lower bracket. Now, we wait a few months for the Dreamleague tournament.

I also watched a bit of the Blast finals between Faze and Vitality. The first half was somewhat competitive, but Faze couldn't keep up with Vitality once they were on the CT side.
Even though Faze lost, it's still impressive that Faze retained their performance after losing Twistz from their roster.
Great comeback to take that one away from the favorites Gladiators.

Blast Premier World Finals 2023 was a no contest with Team Vitality taking it away from Faze just like candy from a baby.
Without Twistzz it seems their replacement was not big enough of a talent to fill his shoes.

Just found out that he has joined the Cadian Super Team project he started with a complete reform of Team Liquid along with a new coach in Zews:

Here is what Cadian had to say about bringing him on to the team as he had problems with Stavn from another post that I do not need to put here as this is about Twistzz coming onboard with new Liquid:

No straight wins and sweep for Gaimin Gladiators. Score is 2-1 still in favor of Gaimin. That third game was lit for AR.  Their early wasn't so good at all but then just one good clash and everything snowballed.

I am waiting for the 4th game. I want to see this go until 5th map so that this ESL is worth the wait and it is for the fans.

This only means that AR can really manage to win GG in group stages, they beaten GG 2-0 IIRC.
Haven't followed the matches all tournament but it does look to be a good finals Sunday so far.

Yeah too right @YuginKadoya !

They had a UFC 2024 Season Press Conference right before the ceremonial one for this UFC 296 event earlier in the evening last night.
It showed several fighters on the panel facing off against their opponents towards upcoming main event fight cards for the 2024 season:

Almost time til first match of the semi-finals for the Blast Premier World tournament kicks off the weekend!
Faze vs Mouz
Navi vs Team Vitality

Faze are the favorites in this matchup but Mouz are no slouch.
So it might be a safe bet for the over 2.5 maps for this one.
Now Team Vitality are good on paper but when it comes these semis they seem to always find a way to make it hard on the themselves and rigging themselves close to the finish line.
So I will be backing Navi for this one with their most recent additions to their reformed roster.

These matches and more markets in the Esports can be bet on here:
