Truth @owengtam09 UFC wants that star power to be praised for their champions. And to be honest Bobby just doesn't have that. He doesn't have any explosive power that draws in the crowds and that is the reason he doesn't have fights for those main event pay-per-views. People will shell out the money to see a Conor and a Chimaev fighting anybody else just not a Green. Sorry to say it but this is a reality and also sad but true for any type fighter. Also the welter weight division is also dying as nobody really wants to be in that weight-class and trying to gain more weight to get out of it. Found this video earlier today about a fighter who I first heard about getting into a car accident (which I at first thought it was that female fighter who died early in the year - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/08/victoria-lee-mma-one-championship-dies-age-18-angela-christian-lee-hawaii https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB7VrDT-Foc) but wants to quit the sport outright: Angela Lee Explains Why She Called It Quits From MMA | The MMA Hourhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDGytQvkL1kQuite an interesting interview to watch to learn what fighters go through to make these fights happen. |

TNF is happening in less than and hour and a half and everyone is saying there is a lock on this match up tonight! Washington Commanders vs Chicago Bears https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/washington-football-team-v-chicago-bears-65133e73f2779c0001de9c48This is going by the name of the worst game all year with the Chicago Bears team being in massive disarray from the defense all the way to the offense. This is why they are 0-4 on the season so far. Then we have a struggling Washington Commanders squad which to me didn't look too bad in the last game I watched them play. Sam Howell could toss them into the endzone, so they have hope to salvage something still being 2-2 still early on in the season. But the lines all towards a successful Commanders win being 1.39x odds last I checked. |

All in all, this race will be very interesting, as it was not held last year because of the World Championship, so all teams lack the data of the more recent cars and can only fall back on the data from 2021.
I do believe that this would be an interesting race for the drivers knowing that they have to make time and utilize their practice and analyze it so much to make up for the lack of data. I'm really interested to see the practice sessions of this race. The track does have a strange look to it. As one social media person said, it sort of looks like a dinosaur footprint. Also forgot it wasn't in the race year for the last season either so yes the drivers and their team crew can't rely on data from the previous race season is an important point to consider for how it will go this weekend. Questions for nex race. Is Perez going to be desperate again? 4th child just came.
Perez has been very bad in the last few races for being in a RedBull car, or not good enough for this car, so we'll see if he can improve his pace, but I don't really think so at the moment. All in all, this race will be very interesting, as it was not held last year because of the World Championship, so all teams lack the data of the more recent cars and can only fall back on the data from 2021. You don't think so because of what? I mean, there's nothing wrong with his pace, he's not Max but he's good enough to keep placements. It's his erratic impatience that's the problem, as we've been talking about in the last few posts. I think he's either going to be patient or even more desperate. New baby effect. Picks must be put in early tomorrow btw. There is a sprint race format so yeah with the difference in time zones get them in early. I did them a day after the last race. Also with @owengtam09 and others such as yourselves talking about Perez. He will be trying his damnedest to try and get more points since he is in second place at the drivers standing with 223 points and Hamilton 190 so he would want to make a good impression to his boss Horner so there won't be anymore talk about him being cast out of the team having the reason of him not being able to perform compared to Verstappen who has 400 points. With 16/22 race weekends already having been done there is still time for even the likes of Alonso to catch up and make second place. |

Today we have some more juicy Sportsbet Specials and they are worth a look atleast:
I'm tempted to jump on PSG's odds, thinking they have the upper hand on this match, but I find the BTTS+ o9.5 corners combo to be the better play when I somehow see this one ending with a draw. I just hope they don't lack in the corner department once the BTTS hits.  Manchester United losing was the biggest shocker of the evening at the UCL matchday 2 encounters.
To me, their loss was expected after seeing them lose against Crystal Palace. The Lens win surprised me the most since I thought Arsenal patched things up on the road and then that loss happened. Edit: I can't believe the bet ended up losing by one corner. This ended up being the most interesting match from all the rest of them as I switching from game to game at the beginning but when Newcastle scored the third goal, I was stuck on watching to if PSG could even score one against them. Unbelievable loss but the most polarizing of the match day in the Champions League for sure! The special you took was short by a corner, so did any of them end up landing? Newcastle to win seem to be the only winner from a bunch of strange scores and even a couple of draws. The 0-0 one had me laughing since every game I was watching there were goals announced every few minutes. The only ones I managed to predict correct on any of betslips were Atletico Madrid and Barcelona but those matches were close with cancelled goals being called on their opponents. So it wasn't easy to watch these two if you had anything on these matches. |

@xLays
Not to certain about DOTA2 tournaments but there are many resources to find out. I believe I put up a site or two a few pages back of this thread related to the information you seek.
Or somebody who frequents the thread and knowledgeable about when the next major tournament and prize amounts for the next TI tournament could answer your questions.
The Blast Premier Fall showdown Europe is underway and they are still on old CS:GO as it wasn't scheduled for the revision to Source 2 yet and the players probably weren't versed enough in the new requirements to play the update and the new M12 format.
BIG vs 9INE is currently in progress with the german side being up 11-4 on map 1.
Ence vs Alliance is the next match to close out the day in professional CS tournament play while Imperial Sportsbet are playing Party Astronauts on the Americas side of Blast Premier Fall Showdown.

Seems like Carlos has a kryptonite in Sinner. Sinner becomes the only player to beat Carlos Alcaraz 4 times in the ATP. Medvedev must be happy that Sinner took out Alcaraz as Meddy struggles against Carlos.
Yes and he has a handy record against Sinner but nothing lasts forever and Sinner will be able to beat Medvedev at some stage. In my mind Medvedev plays a patient game and likes to play long rallys, we have seen against Alcaraz that Sinner doesnt have a problem with that either and as he gets stronger these battles with Medvedev will become even more epic. The odds are Sinner 2.5 - 1.53 Medvedev Again a nice price on Jannik! Interesting odd for Sinner today! I am tempted to place a small bet on him .... I think that much probably this high odd is linked to his health condition  it's a big "wild card" for today match. In any case he has now reached the 4th place of ATP thanks to this victory. It's clear now why NIKE has invested around 100 milion of usd on this guy.... What health condition does Sinner have? This might be the reason why he is not the favorite to win in this finals since he beat the highest favored one in Alcaraz already and the odds reflect that. He did look very tired and was breathing heavily after any long rallys during the games yesterday. The same could be said for the women's side with Pegula getting beat in straight sets against Ostapenko. She was the heavy favorite being almost 3 to 1 in the odds department for Jelena to win being the #13th ranked player and Jessica being #4th. She looked drained even in the first set and none of her shots where landing. Especially her first serve, they almost all landed into the net with a 43% accuracy rate compared to Ostapenko's at 62%. |

I was interested in taking one of the CHTV specials earlier and now it somehow disappeared as i'm about to place a bet. I would've taken the BTTS and over 3.5 for 2.80 as I thought it was the only special that could likely hit out of the rest. I can imagine seeing a scoreline of 2-2 or 3-1 since I doubt these two would sit back and hold on to their lead.
I'm locking Arsenal @1.70 as my alternative bet for the day. I think they get away with a win on the road since Lens doesn't have the best form and only looked better after their draw against Sevilla a few weeks ago.
Edit: Disappointing loss, Arsenal dominated in shots but couldn't convert while Lens only needed one in the second half.
Lens scoring at the 68' mark for the one to many shockers of a match in the champions league yesterday wasn't the only loss they suffered. Saka was injured during play at the 32' of the match and was taken off the pitch at the 34' and unknown for their match-up against Manchester City Sunday. https://www.premierleague.com/news/3720152He was going into this match suffering from a muscle injury already but was cleared to play. He did have the assist to Jesus lone goal for the gunners. But that was a mighty blow for the club as I believe their new signup from the offseason is also injured in Declan Rice. Manchester United losing was the biggest shocker of the evening at the UCL matchday 2 encounters.

It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .
Wow, so you mean to tell me that you submitted your gambling wallet address to your campaign manager when he requested your payment address? Sorry to say this but that wasn’t a wise decision. The reason why we always calculate how much we are going to put in our gambling account is to make sure we don’t over spend and trust me if you have up to a million dollars in your gambling account you won’t be aware of when you’ll finish everything and that’s why you see people come to the forum and give stories of how they spent over ten thousand dollars in a week on their gambling account and for you to have been receiving your payment in your account seems like a dumb mistake IMO. Yes, it was a stupid mistake and I thought I would withdraw it after I received it in my gambling account but it was out of my control due to greed and recovering the initial small payment I received. Because of that small amount I lost more than this many times. I’m sharing this because a lot of smart people also act like stupid sometimes. It’s easy to say but it’s hard to follow through every time. OP, I thought all signature campaigns required you to have those payments or funds you had worked throughout the forum, deposited so to be received onto your gambling account. This wasn't a decision but a requirement by the sites you have affiliation with. Atleast all the signature and avatar campaigns I have been in required you to put a deposit address from your account on those gambling platforms. In which, it is common practice most participants will use those received funds to try their luck. Thus they more than likely will lose most if not all of their payments from these respected campaigns they are in. |

UEFA Champions League is the only match offered in the ClubhouseTV & Sportsbet Special for tomorrow.  https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/todayNapoli vs Real Madrid is the match with the Victor Osimhen situation making headlines so I would rather be backing Real Madrid for this one. No team drama so out in the air and publicly known to keep them unfocused for the game at hand. There was something about now he was ready to sue the club due to abuse having been receiving from it. There was a headline on Sportsbet.io telegram chat channel where I first seen this happening due to I don't follow that Serie A rumor-mill too much.  |

  These are the results of all the matches on matchday 8 and as we can see there were so many surprising results from Barcelona's fortunate victory due to Sergio Ramos' own goal to the collapse of Girona's dominance at the hands of Real Madrid last week. Apart from that, there was another exciting match from Almeria vs Granada, as well as an extraordinary comeback from Atletico against Cadiz. On the other hand, we can also see that on matchday 8, Jude Bellingham managed to top the temporary top scorer list with 6 goals, followed by Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski and several other players whose goal difference was not much different. From the results of all the matches on matchday 8, do you have a favorite match and what makes it difficult for you to forget it? The very last match on that table the Las Palmas one winning against Celta Vigo was a shocker to me. They were leading since around the 67' mark after Celta Vigo leveled it with a penalty given late into the match. Then in the dying seconds of the match at the 7' minute Celta Vigo scores the game winner. Had it in an acca with lower odds but a substantial staked amount of nearly $700 on the bet. This was the only match to lose on that betslip. Usually don't place bets on these lower table teams on any of my accas so I should of stuck to the norm and not venture this route. Always had put Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. So should of stuck to my usual gameplan and only place bets on these three solid teams on the La Liga's 2023/2024 season leaderboard. |

We get another fishy odds, but i'll ride with the Seahawks @1.76 (price boost). The Giants look like one of the weakest teams after facing a couple of good teams, while the Seahawks are better on paper and want to extend their win streak to three. The bookies are testing the Giants here since this is the second time they'll face a team (the first was against the Cardinals) they can potentially beat.  With watching the first quarter it was just a sea of yellow from all the penalties being given out by the referees. There were no points put up on the scoreboard yet while I tuned into the game, but Seattle were at their own 30 yard line and was 1st and 20 then another flag thrown during the play and set back to 1st and 25. So this seems to be a reoccurring theme for this Monday night match and possibly make it a low scoring one if more flags get thrown throughout the rest of the game. Geno Smith was the favored quarterback to take the Seahawks on to victory against a poorly performing Daniel Jones and Giants team. If I did have a bet on this match up tonight, I would of picked the exactly same as you did backing the Seahawks and probably put it as a combo bet with the points spread just to make it a bit more appealing to me. |

About the fight week, ran into a bout with Bobby Green over the weekend and they had the weigh-ins run along side before showing the result of that fight.
He is one of those behind the scenes type fighter who doesn't get much of the spotlight a Leon Edwards, Aljamain Sterling and Jon Jones have being put on them but he is formidable fighter who last fought Tony Ferguson and lost.
It should be a good weekend fight night to just see for the fights and not put much on the event so to keep it fun.
As for the discussions about Strickland and Adesayna in the last few posts, I just see their last incidents as attention getting and nothing more.
So to keep their names on top of everybody's minds of the fight game discussions on all the major MMA socials.

I haven’t tried playing CS2 yet, because I know that if I start playing, I’ll spend days and days in it with my friends. In fact, I spent many thousands of hours on CS 1.6, then on CS:GO. I like to play, but at some point I realized that my life was passing me by and I stopped. I love CS, I really like to see that the game received a sequel in the form of CS2, but I won’t play it at the moment. At least that's what I decided. But of course I will monitor its development.
According from those who have played it, they feel it isn't polished enough yet and up to their standards to have it be used in a professional setting such as in tournament play. I don't know as I haven't played it either but from what the professional players who have tried it earlier, before it appeared on the steam servers for all to download and play, such as s1mple and ropz can be seen in this following video on the issues that have occurred to them during gameplay so far: CS2 is Worse than CS:GO, But...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e56RprYANAThey have decided to release it for professional tournament play as this article describes which competitions they will be appearing at next starting today: ESL TOURNAMENTS TO TRANSITION TO CS2; IEM SYDNEY FIRST BIG LANOnline leagues like ESL Impact and ECL S46 will be making the switch when they resume in the first week of October."ESL has announced that its tournaments will transition to Counter-Strike's new iteration as soon as October 2 when ESL ANZ Champs 2023 Season 2 kicks off. Events will use the MR12 format to keep action in line with what players experience in-game. Online events like ESL Challenger Jönköping qualifiers (October 3), ESL Impact League Season 4 (October 4), and ESL Challenger League Season 46 (October 5) will soon follow. In the league formats, deciders will be played as tiebreakers after the switch to MR12 pushed ESL away from round difference. The exception to this is ESL Pro League and ESEA S46 at Advanced and below, which will remain on CS:GO." source: https://www.hltv.org/news/37152/esl-tournaments-to-transition-to-cs2-iem-sydney-first-big-lan |

@ralle14
Was also hoping for something other than this lone game in the EPL today for the MOTD special.
Because I have it settled as a 2-2 draw in the forum pool so neither of those choices do anything for my call on the match.
Alot of sports to choose from for these Sportsbet Specials this week with F1 in Qatar and the UFC making a return this weekend so there is non-stop action happening for this first week of the a brand new month!

Quarter final time over at the Beijing Open
Humbert v Medvedev - On paper Medvedev should win this but Humbert has already
beaten Rublev!
Zverev v Jarry - This should be Zverev's match to go to the Semi final
Alcaraz v Ruud - Alcaraz to win this one, he is on a mission now for points to get back
the number 1 spot from Djokovic
Dimitrov v Sinner - I hope Sinner wins this, could be a tricky one.
You were correct in your predictions as the Daniil Medvedev match ended with him winning it in 3 sets against a confused looking Hugo Humbert. Jarry wasn't much of a match for Zverev on his serve even though he won a set it was Alexander all day at this tournament. Alcaraz is up next against Ruud which I haven't seen play since the US tournaments. So will need to see how he had been playing as of late before this match begin in less than 15 minutes. |

 I was one selection off of a big win today, one Justin Fields rushing TD off $1k+ on 500+ odds parlay. That is brutal, but it's still impressive to see every leg hitting, including the other ATTD props. I guess they didn't want to switch things up when the passing game kept working for them.
I'm thinking of buying some points for the Chiefs match but I decided to scrap that play and just go for the under 41, when the under trend remains hot. I'd imagine this match to be similar to the Jags vs. Chiefs a couple of weeks ago, where we won't see much scoring since the Jets still have a top-tier defense.  Edit: My under is a guaranteed loss at this point after the Chiefs scored way too fast and the Jets can't get a stop.  Yes, it ended 23-20 for the Chiefs which they didn't deserve to win. Mahomes had 2 interceptions from what I witnessed while watching the game and Kelce didn't get going in this one with his usual performance. Not the same Chiefs team who won the Super Bowl last season that's for sure against a struggling and recovering offensive line-up including Zach Wilson. Who hasn't got into the leading role of being the starting QB yet. Those are huge shoes to fill and Aaron Rodgers was at the game on the sidelines. They say he will be going in later this week to evaluate the surgery done to his injured leg. He wants to get into the bye week of the season, but that is being optimistic. |

Im abit in the mood of betting small on these specials so Im putting $25 for each of it. For some reason I think the newcastle's special could hit so Im taking that as well although normally I would have skip it again.
I wouldnt worry about Arsenal, I mean I think they've learned it the hard way last season. They could have won the league but somehow they kept losing on games that they could easily get 3 points from so yeah I think Arteta would not ruin it today and besides they got alot of points to catch up for.
I thought yesterday's MOTD bets would likely hit, but things turned unexpectedly for both bets. Newcastle got the first two legs down but the goals came from the players we didn't need to score. And in the multi-bet, you're on point with Man United to disappoint but the loss wasn't as bad since the same goes for Man City. I'm skipping today's MOTD (Nottingham vs. Brentford) since both odds are too high for my liking and I might just bet on some NFL. Brentford are going to win this against a very poor Nottingham Forest side even if they are at home it shouldn't matter. Am backing the bees for the sole match in the EPL on this bright and sunny first day of October! Going for the NFL might be a plus since they are playing the Falcons vs Jaguars match in London starting in a few hours from now. I believe they have five games scheduled to be played internationally: three in London and two in Germany https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-announces-five-games-for-2023-international-seriesIf your going to place a bet then might I suggest putting it up on the NFL thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5333903.msg62919375#msg62919375Need some wins shown on there as this thread already has quite a bit of members showing how successful they have been lately with their bets already! |

You couldn't call it like Dana is making him pay for standing up against him and Pereira because he seems to be paid double for this fight against Rakmonov. But I can only laugh if Rakmonov is defeated though. I gotta give Thompson the best good luck for he did the right thing and it pays off.
Dagestanis are going to make it easy to bet on in 294. Khamzat is back. It will be fun to watch him and Costa fight, the two have been eager to punch each other's face for a long time.
Khamzat by the way is not representing Sweden anymore but UAE.
Well, on Stephen Thompson's part for sure he said in the Ariel Helwani interview that he will get all fights that are above him this time, so for sure even if the UFC will pay him double to fight Shavkat Rhakmanov (if this is true) he will still fight Rhakmanov because Shavkat Rhakmanov is higher than him so for sure there are no excuses on who he should fight, for sure Stephen Thompson would like that double payment but he is prideful to accept that, He wasn't determined to accept the fight with Rakmonov months ago. That's why many are surprised about the decision because it doesn't sound like him. He must have expected a pay from the canceled fight yet seeing Dana fucked him with the pay, Dana give him a deal to shut his mouth to the media and fight Rakmonov so he'll get bigger pay. Risky but bigger pay. That's as far as I got. This is his last fight probably and it will be a lot funnier if he finishes Rakmonov. Pretty sure Dana will not like it. Fully agree with you there cabron! Dana wants to see the aging fighters such as Ferguson and Thompson make way to these new and younger fighters. So he can get them up to higher status so to cash in on that sweet PPV money of course. So you sort of wonder why he puts them up against these up and coming rising stars so quickly. So to capitalize on a new audience who are coming in on these sort of fights. Both are stacked cards up until the end of the year for sure! |
