It looks like bookies are expecting a new champion this time. Ngannou is the slight favorite at 1.78 to Miocic's 2.04 on Betnomi . How do you see this fight? I think this is going to be another tactical fight for the champ. He'll avoid too many exchanges on the feet and control Ngannou on the fence or ground. I see another UD and still...
Francis Ngannou will always be a favorite because of his power and striking skills and i am expecting major improvements from him in the ground game and Stipe Miocic does need more appreciation from the fans because he is a future hall of fame and he could very well win the rematch as well.

Interesting odds for the former champ Woodley too (heavy underdog at 3.10). I'm not taking away anything from Luque but his consecutive losses made bookies think he's unlikely to win. I'll have to watch more of their videos before deciding to bet on this one.
Tyron_Woodley is on a three fight loosing streak and it is not a big surprise that everyone is considering him an underdog.

The Simpsons predicted so many things that came true and there predictions are like 1 in a million not like 1 in 10 and they got them right consistently which is impossible when looked at a mathematical view.

I'm sure even mathematician Satoshi himself will be surprised on The Simpsons predictions that came correct.

Sure there's predictions in Simpsons that haven't happened yet like aliens visiting and taking over the earth lol or Robots Ai taking over or time travel or clones or whatever the episodes has shown but just because it has never happened yet doesn't mean it can be ruled out. Also remember scientists say we are not alone in the universe  Grin
The Simpsons is one of my favorite shows and the most daring one was Donald Trump becoming the president in my opinion and the script writers are up to date with the current affairs to mix with the fun and so is the reason it is one of the funniest shows ever and the probability of predictions are slim but the things they predicted were outlandish at that time but it became a reality. But identifying Satoshi is the most talked about topic and it is not a big surprise that they included that in their script.

Prediction without any supporting valid information means nothing, you can buy this up and start saving your coin or you can just
treat it as another hype from someone who loves to share their thoughts.
The funny aspect of this market is that you cannot expect someone to have a logic for their predictions most of the time and all they do is i said so and no one cared and this is the common dialogue we hear in the speculation market  Cheesy. Even i used to think when we see rallies which are really high and you cannot find a reason other than huge investments coming in which means the market will rally till the moment these huge investors are willing to invest.

I agree with you. Kohli's decision to bat in replace of KL Rahul was really a timely and perfect decision. And India has seen the team's output very well. India have been able to give a huge target of 225 runs for the great start of Rohit Sharma and Kohli. Also Bhuvneswar Kumar bowled just awesome. As a result, the road to India's victory has become easier.
Another comeback victory for India, they are not playing with their best combination and yet they were able to defeat England and if they play like this then they are the real contenders for the next World cup as it is played in India and once Bumrah and Jadeja returns it will be a formidable bowling combination along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and with Mohammed Shami in the team it will be one of the best bowling attack.

Congrats to India on winning the series, I think they deserve this come from behind series win. It was an interesting series to watch as the first 3 games the team batting first went on to lose the games and in the last two games the team batting first won the games. I'm just happy to see Kohli get back into some good form and I think he deserved the play of the series with 3 not outs. Now hopefully he can continue on with this form into the ODI series.
India always like to entertain the fans by winning the series after getting defeated in the first game. It looks like a picture perfect ending for the past few series, getting trashed in the first match and then coming back and making it look spectacular as if they are looking for these thrilling matches rather than making it look easy Cheesy .

The way in which Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled is outstanding when the rest of the bowlers were trashed, if India had their best team then they could challenge any other teams by the way they performed in the last two matches.

Internet is influential when using the internet,,, not internet is influential when betting. I think you guys are all just making a big deal out of this,,, sorry but fast or slow does not change my emotions:)
I did not knew this, so what is your proper emotions, will it change between fast or slow changes  Cheesy

The only thing I can think of is live betting, which even I very rarely try because firstly of my not-so-good internet, and second because I know my own secondary connection makes it even harder.
When you are placing a bet in sports it might not go through if your connection is bad but when it comes to casino the connectivity does not calculate the win loss situation as it is already determined by the algorithm before rolling but it can give you a feeling that something fishy is going on Wink.

Look at the bright side, third umpiring has been pretty much below average in this tour so it can't get worse than that.

About on field umpiring; its hard for on field umpire to judge even close call on wickets in real time. Judging clean catches on boundary from square or bowler end are impossible, that's why soft signal becomes important. On field umpire went with the fielder reaction and gave out as soft signal. He could have said "I'm not sure" as Virat mentioned. Third umpire was on weeds that's a only explanation i could find for this incident.

On second note i have a feeling that we have less amount of camera angles in this series when comparing to IPL.
What he might try to tell was that, we need to get rid of the mandatory soft signal, this is a classic example. The third umpire did not have any camera angles to make a concrete decision and the rules says that if there is a doubt the decision will favor the batsman. But when it goes to the third umpire and the on field umpire gives a soft signal out, then the on field umpire decision stays even if there is no clarity even with multiple replays and in this instance there is no way the on field umpires can view clearly and make a decision 50 meters away from him.

IMO, West Indies and England are the favorites, with New Zealand being another team with strong chances to win the world cup. I would have added India to the list, but their performance during the ICC tournaments is not that good, even with the presence of star players. Australia is not in good form right now and the remaining teams can't even compete properly against the top sides.
I am yet to see a strong performance from New Zealand outside their home ground advantage and India does have a strong team but they are not playing with their strongest team in recent times, they might be experimenting to get the right combination or whatever but i said what i said with the established team they will be playing during the World cup.

Would be funny later to calculate how much does one punch cost  Grin I think I could survive few punches.
Would ne interesting to watch their life after they retire. Hope they would spend money wise. On crypto for example  Cool
We have seen many sports personals busting everything and then doing some side gig to make money, let them make money till they can and if they are smart enough like Floyd Mayweather in terms of investment even though he is known or may be displayed to have a lavish life  then they will be safe with their investment. I do not think they will succeed in trading or anything of that similar and if they do invest then they will bust everything because of the market volatility

^^ Still i wish to see him fight for the next two years so that there is no doubt even for the naysayers about his dominance and legacy.

retiring being a champion and without loss makes Khabib a legend but him being that young will always welcome a match whenever an offer is good enough. win-win for Dana too.
As a fan i would love to see Khabib return and he is a different breed of fighter as he cannot be enticed with money because he was making millions in his last few fights when he started with $15k in the UFC and only after becoming champion he started earning millions in the UFC and any normal champion would have tried to make the maximum benefit as long as he can but Khabib took a different position altogether we have not seen.

I really wish for Khabib Nurmagomedov's return to UFC but the given fact that all good things will surely come to an end it is a good and exciting ride watching him fight, and eventually, he is in good form when he retired he will surely keep that record and hug it to himself of undefeated that is why he realizes to cut ties before the old age has taken him in his good form.
As if Khabib is in his later years of his career, he is just 32 years old and some of the champions are well above that age limit and can you point a challenger that could pose any danger to his dominance in the toughest division in UFC.

I wish people would stop having such great expectations from a coin that was not designed for any of those, it's not a magic golden goose, it's not a magical safe that won't open no matter what, it's not something that can protect its user from abuse.
There is a heightened expectation about bitcoin and it is nothing new and when the price started its first rally we are hearing these stories on how investing in bitcoin will help you overcome the difficulties you face, you can come up with a story about how it will help someone and the funniest i have heard is how bitcoin could bridge the gap between the poor and rich, these narration are created by bitcoin enthusiast or investors who wants to profit because they invested in them and anyone who never invested have an heightened scrutiny that it is a bubble Cheesy.
1472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 18, 2021, 02:22:27 PM
The match is going as expected, India posting a sub par score and England chasing them, in this match they have a deep batting line up and they lost their captain and with they run rate they will reach around 170 runs and if they are able to score above 200 then it will be a tough battle and a loss for India in the match means England will win the series.
1473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 18, 2021, 12:39:06 PM
With players such as Pollard and Russell, West Indies should be the favorites for this year's T20 World Cup. Also, many of the West Indies players have good experience of playing in India, as they are participating in the IPL. They are the defensing champions as well, and therefore a lot of people expect them to perform well during this edition. However, as per the ICC T20 ranking, West Indies is ranked 9th.
In papers England and West Indies has the strongest team, West Indies has Carlos Brathwaite, Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Pollard and Russel who can turn a match with their sole performance and England has Eoin Morgan, Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Jason Roy on his day will smash any bowlers.

The reason for West Indies in the lower side of rankings is that they never play with their best team due to multiple reasons and if they come together they will be a huge challenge for the rest of the teams.

Maybe they just want to get together and drink Grin On a serious note, it looks like a done deal. I wonder who the opponent is this time.

On another note, which fighter retired as champ has the record of longest time out before returning to fight again? Is it GSP? Let's ignore those fights that didn't materialize because of failed negotiations.
The below picture is what the speculations started and the catch phrase, Khabib met with Lorenzo Fertitta but they are no longer the owners of UFC and you think he motivated him to return again  Undecided. Khabib is the first fighter Dana White is giving the long rope and hoping he would return as i do not remember him giving any sympathy to any other fighters unless they were injured.

1475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a lone bettor or a competitive one? on: March 17, 2021, 05:46:20 PM
I used to avoid competitions and preferred to just place my own bets on sports to see how it goes. I was glad to win and sad to lose, and it was between me and sports. In autumn, however, I entered a Sportsbet EPL prediction competition, and after months of it going on, I must say that I do find it engaging when various people make predictions for the same games, and then I can see how other people are making their decisions and how they are performing as well. At first, I thought I had no chance there, but I'm currently lucky to be in top-10, so now I do care about remaining there Smiley
I am avoiding competition as i do think it will put more pressure and i end loosing rather than having a cool time gambling. If you think and you are winning congrats on you and i might join a competition at a later time when i am free off tensions and nothing to worry. Right now i do have a regular job and watching sport and betting is my only pass time, until then i might continue being a lone better.
1476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 15, 2021, 09:35:03 PM
Looking forward to see main event Derek Brunson vs Kevin Holland and I am looking at their stats showing that Holland is higher and with bigger reach advantage, have better striking accuracy and takedown defence is on Brunson side.
Odds are suggesting that Kevin Holland is favorite but I would not write off Brunson who won last 3 of his fights.
Kevin Holland is also on a winning streak winning a record 5 fights last year and Derek Brunson is on a three fight win streak but i give the advantage to Kevin Holland because of his reach advantage and you cannot trust Brunson all the time as we have seen him having complete off days and getting defeated badly.


I don't want to forger cherry on top and here goes Aljamain Sterling again parading with this champ belt while he still can Cheesy
 
Let him enjoy his moment, fighting for the belt is a big deal and he won it even though it was a disqualification. The rematch is coming up and that shows whether he could improve and really win the fight.

^^^^How long you are waiting for the market to go down  Tongue. I did expect a correction once the price of bitcoin crossed the old all time high valuation but then it never had any breaks and was crossing all the resistance we thought will take a long time break it was moving up without much resistance and the price touched $60k and how long do you think it will reach your expected valuation.

Withdrawal fees, Deposit and withdrawal minimums are one of the things you check out on a bookie right before you deposit any money. How do you just deposit blindly and then start complaining afterwards. I partly blame you.

We do have exchanges charging 0.0005 BTC, some even more than 0.0005 BTC, should we say they are scammers too?
We have exchanges and gambling sites who ask much higher withdrawal fees which is unwarranted and i do think that these exchanges and gambling sites have a higher transaction fees to get rid of dust transactions. You cannot call them scammers but to ask for a higher withdrawal fees when the withdrawal fees is not that high is not helpful for small gamblers or traders.
1479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China is preparing to wind down blockchain-related mining on: March 15, 2021, 06:26:41 PM
China does have mining farms and as everyone here mentioned this is nothing new as we are hearing these news for a very long time. If China clams down on mining farms there are other farms around the globe and it will not affect the network and the only thing that needs to be done if there is a disparity is lowering the difficultly rate and everything will be back to normal.
1480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: will Binance be the next Ethereum? on: March 15, 2021, 04:32:54 PM
Binance has great potential to overcome ETH in price and to occupy a good part of the market that used to be ETH. something that is very annoying Is paying high fees, anyone is irritated to pay high fees. for example in the case of bitcoin I had to pay $7 fee to be able to transfer money quickly, but it’s been a long time that I prefer to use LTC for money transfers, I used bitcoin because I had no choice.
The high fees is always irritating and what i do when i want to withdraw bitcoin i always use low fees and i have the patience to wait until it gets confirms and when i need to move around i usually convert them to Doge or Ripple.

By this I mean that as long as ETH does not solve the current problem of high rates, binance is showing that it is the best alternative and a time will come when not even when ETH can solve the problem, be too late because people continued to use binance
Everyone is waiting for the ETH 2.0 upgrade and it is over a year we are hearing that we will see an upgrade that reduces the transaction charges for a long time and till now we have not seen any changes and other coins are luring the developers to use their chain.
