For sure they all know the track and what the history it has because being part of the F1 should be aware of the dangers with it. They all know it's a dangerous sport and should have those safety precautions with it.

I hope nothing bad happens on the weekend.

I am sure they all know the danger and even with those safety protocols you will still never know what may happen in every aspect of precaution they make there is still a chance a huge accident may occur it is like watching a final destination movie they never know what hit them, well there maybe unexpected things that could still happen an F1 Machine could still slide and skid the track,

But, just like you I also hope nothing bad happens this weekend,

Here was an update on the weather conditions at the Imola track for Tuesday:
"May 16 (Reuters) - Formula One personnel were asked to leave the Imola circuit on Tuesday amid fears of flooding as water levels rose in the nearby Santerno river following heavy rain ahead of the weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix."
source: https://www.reuters.com/sports/motor-sports/imola-paddock-closed-river-levels-rise-due-heavy-rain-2023-05-16


Even worse that F1 crews were told to stay away for the time being due to Santerno River adjacent to paddock may burst its banks:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/may/17/emilia-romagna-grand-prix-teams-told-stay-away-imola-flood-alert

When the storm does subside, they would need enough time to clean up after the torrential rain.

Sad to say but because of the Storm and Flood the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix or Imola Circuit would need to call off, or they have decided not to proceed with the race, it was a very sad Decision but it is for the safety of all the drivers, and the personnel for the F1 so I think it is safe to say we will not have a race this weekend and Imola will need to be canceled and need to be called off,

Here are the links Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, and the Video

That is one big image you got there. Should've cut it down, it takes a while to load the whole thing. Grin

I am putting my bet on Miami Heat on one of the first two games in Boston. Maybe Game 2. Then, I will bet the 2 more in Miami for the Heat. Game 5 will be forced by the Celtics for 2-3 and Game 6 is where I think it will end in favor of the Miami Heat. But that is just my prediction as I think the Heat are stronger with Adebayo and Butler combined and they have a deep bench too with good defensive rating. This will not just be a battle of coach's strategy and adjustments, but stamina will also be a huge factor to win the game.

It was really an interesting game indeed and what will happen can Smart make a good defense against Jimmy Butler, or can Butler can score an exclusive shot that Marcus Smart wouldn't predict, for me if the odds are high enough for the Boston Celtics I would risk a bet for the Miami Heat, Cody Zeller is questionable but I think it is OK for Bam Adebayo to be a center instead of Cody Zeller, the New York Knicks that are a new team was defeated by the Heat but surely I think this is one interesting game to watch, I think I will risk betting for the Miami Heat this is going to be interesting,

I guess we need some laughs here, did you guys saw how Dwight's video making fun of inviting those that have been eliminated already like Julius Randle, Klay, Ayton, Poole and there are others. Well, it's actually funny how he's inviting them to play on T1 League in Taiwan. For the reference guys, I've seen it on this page on Facebook "Ballislife".
(https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1934885790213890)

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Thanks for this actually I was not going to watch NBA anymore because of the Golden State Warriors but I find that the games now are pretty much interesting and would likely want to see the games of the Los Angeles Lakers VS the Denver Nuggets goes and will likely look at the free throws but yeah the Free Throws are normal for now, actually, the Denver Nuggets win the 1st game but the Lakers will surely come back for sure,

Well, back to Dwight Howard it is likely that NBA players just like Dillon "Dynasty" Brooks will be out to NBA and will likely go with the Asian basketball league as an import player,

https://www.pflmma.com/news/professional-fighters-league-and-francis-ngannou-announce-exclusive-global-mma-strategic-partnership

I told you guys.
Francis Ngannou and PFL blockbuster partnership announced and this is biggest deal in MMA history!
Ngannou will start fighting next years in PFL superfight pay-per-view division, and during 2023 he is going to have boxing fights before that!

Listen full interview between Ngannou and Ariel Helwani for MMA hour:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f65b0kdp_Og

It was a  very lucrative deal for the PFL, for me it is not a contract signing like getting into a job, it was a Contract partnership, between Francis Ngannou and the PFL, and PFL taking this kind of deal with Francis Ngannou is a risk Francis Ngannou is going to have a fight next year, and every time he fights he will get 8 to 7 figures in every fight he has, his opponent will get a fair amount not a normal amount for a fighter, it means if you fight Ngannou you will likely get an amount larger than their pay cut, a fair trade fighting Ngannou, he can also be allowed that he can participate in any boxing match he desire, he will also get a large sum on his Pay per view, he would also get a salary for being the global ambassador for the PFL Africa for likely new fighters coming from Africa, going to PFL,

The biggest MMA contract offer an MMA fighter could ever get,


PFL conducts two PPV every year and they started the PPV model last year. Their PPV numbers are not public and with the popularity of PFL on a global scale do you think giving 50% to Francis Ngannou will be a huge number. The catch here in the contract is a future plan for PFL Africa where he will be the chairman and it looks like a long term plan and if everything goes as per the plan he will be making a lot of money, only time will tell.

If this contract will be successful and if both parties are getting what they want this deal is a win-win for both parties, but if this is just a one-sided one then this will not likely going to be a good scenario for both parties, I really think this is still in progress and the PFL is just trying this kind of move they are totally risking this one, for Ngannou to get this kind of a deal PFL must be out of their mind, now Dana White will be very furious about this, but let's see if what may happen,

1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 17, 2023, 05:54:12 AM

That's right, I only said a narrow victory, but Leipzig's hard work really deserves appreciation, especially when they won the game towards the end. Union Berlin is also the team with the most outstanding performance this season, if we look at the 2019/2020 season they started finishing from the mid-table until now they have increased significantly to finish in a better position.

The defeat against Augsburg was not what Union Berlin wanted, but luckily they are still in the top 4 of the standings. Competition is now starting to appear ahead of the remaining 2 matches in the bundesliga and we will soon find out who will qualify for next season's champions league except for Bayern munchen and Dortmund.

Right now every team has shifted to a different level when Bayern and Dortmund lost their striking machine, well, both Lewandowski and Haaland each team got their chance at getting good even though at the start of the season, I really think back then Bayern Munich was still fixing their position and how Nagelsmann can make his own play with the given team he has, I think he is not used to giving a play so intricate not like Thomas Tuchel I just think that Tuchel really fits the bill in creating those elaborate positions and plays for the team, he will surely base those plays on certain players ability and performance, While Dortmund is really quick in moving forward and keeps plays intact in them

Well, Union Berlin will likely win this in my opinion Augsburg doesn't have any good win even Bochum has likely beat them in their latest match, so yeah I think it is a good bet if the odds were great then take Union Berlin, for sure,


Schalke will be facing these clubs

Frankfurt
Leipzig

As you can see that how bayern was able destroying this club easily without any problem. i think that if schalke has no chance anymore to leave from the relegation zone playoff. Im sure that schalke will be getting zero points.

Leipzig and frankfurt may able to take full points from schalke. I would like to take leipzig and frankfurt for the match against schalke. It's caused by it looks like easy matches to be predicted.



There is no chance for Schalke to beat these teams but Schalke could win against Frankfurt because Frankfurt is already safe and they could just give the fight to Schalke because even if they win this match number 7 spot and the number 9 spot are just the same so they might not used any efforts at all, while RB Leipzig will be needing the points they can get so Union Berlin will not replaced them in the 3rd position, so Schalke could win against Frankfurt and could lose to Leipzig, this is just a prediction and a likely different result could occur,

Dangerous Circuit and with the impending rain it even got worst now, I don't really want to get back to the time when there are 2 lives that were lost on this track, and it was said that when the 1st death occurred the circuit should have been close already, but yeah Imola Circuit still continues, and I think we should remember about Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, in the modern day the Imola Circuit has gone in some modifications including the ultra-quick Tamburello corner where Senna crashed, I don't really want to relieve the sad memory but Driver should at least know where is the Tamburello Corner is located,

Imola definitely one of the dangerous ones, along with spa as well because spa definitely has some fast places, after the first corner at imola you become a lot more easier, but that first corner is the riskiest I can remember, specially risky when two cars get together there, it's very very risky to try an overtake there but as we all know drivers do not really care about risk and they just go for it if they see an open space.

I hope that there is not many crashes, it won't be as much as street circuits for sure, but it will be risky without a doubt. Max is by far the best candidate, we saw how he was better than Perez last race, and we are going to end up seeing him do great this time around as well, it will be something major without a doubt.

I just hope all drivers could surely memories those corners and how to handle them because if they do they can get to live more easily, I remembered in 2020 that Max Verstappen crashed because his tire blew and he didn't finish the race back then while the champion was Lewis Hamilton, but I think the Modification of the Machine's tires also is important with the impending when it rained on the Practice or race day it will be tremendously slippery for sure,

1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 16, 2023, 05:49:45 PM

This should have a different main card until Irene Aldana rebooked and instead wants to face Amanda Nunes all of a sudden and they will face each other with UFC and with  UFC 289 Nunes vs. Aldana, Irene Aldana must be targeting the belt right now this is a great opportunity for her but I think Amanda Nunes will be is a bigger threat to Irene Aldana, but let's just wait and see if she can surely stop Amanda Nunes, or not,


Amanda Nunes is on a different level, but because this is a title fight Irene Aldana is taking her chances, for sure this is going to be a great match but the Co-main is the real deal so many people are waiting for this fight well if Charles Oliveira is able to withstand those defeats he had against Islam Makhachev and if he's able to move forward, and if he can defeat Beneil Dariush, Dan Ige VS Nate Landwehr is a juicy fight as well, and all eyes to those fighters,

Some fresh news: "Ex-UFC champ Francis Ngannou signs lucrative MMA deal with PFL, boxing still an option".

What can I say, Ngannou got what he wanted, money, power and freedom. He will get "tens millions", act as an PFL ampassador and have option to have boxing fights while being signed for PFL. Hope that he will perform for 200% and be worth every dollar PFL spend on him. Hope that he will finally fight, but not just sit on his ass and get salary.

I really think this is the very lucrative decision the PFL has ever done, and not just that this is too risky for both organization and the fighter they haven't know if many are still wanting to watch Francis Ngannou fight, I think there is a lot of option for Ngannou in this contract he is pretty much flexible and even though he got some advisor Francis Ngannou is the one that has done the talking and surely enough PFL have decided to go on a risky this is not just a contract signing for the PFL this is a business venture and Ngannou will have 8 figure of a deal every time he fights, and his opponent will get a fair amount and will get a percentage on the revenue for the Pay Preview, and the ability to have boxing matches, and he would also like to open a PFL Africa for new fighters from their place to the PFL, there are many that are in the contract many Francis Ngannou have the freedom for what he wants to decide,

^  Sucks cos we won't be seeing him fight Jon Jones.  :/  I still think Ngannou has a good chance to finish Jones.  Why can't the UFC just pay the guy a one fight deal vs Jones for 10 million or something.  Sigh...

Anyway after making my picks for the Multi Master I think the next event could be a sleeper banger.  I found myself predicting 8 matches to finish inside the distance.  Lol.  Picked Dern for the main event but could go Hill's way since it's a 5 rounder.

UFC Free Fight:  Hill vs Ducote
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Sv7xliCo8

I really think he doesn't want or doesn't need to fight Jon Jones anymore maybe Jon Jones will envy Francis Ngannou for getting that extreme contract for the PFL, Jon Jones doesn't have the many if Ngannou fight him, but maybe if Jon Jones could join PFL maybe their fight with Francis Ngannou will create a lot of money, and Jone Jones will have a fairly pay if he fights Ngannou and goes to PFL,

Social media is 100% manipulative... but isn't Schumaker actually already awakened? And that's something I never like to follow in any sports, the personal lives. Anyway, fans like me like teams, rather than individuals, of course we appreciate different personalities even.

Some people like Ronaldo, hungry and alpha, some people love Messi, more quiet and modest, I'm sure 100% the same in F1. I like Schumacher types for sure, hungry and yet not over the top.

Pool has real cash prizes, but every week can win freebets, AND even sports merchandise. Also winners go to real sports games with the casino in real life, I was invited once but I cannot travel but many forum people have already won Smiley

Well, I think the Schumacher family wants it private but Willi Weber the former manager of Michael Schumacher accuses the Schumacher Family of lying for not enclosing the facts if Michael Schumacher is still OK so yeah Willi Weber wants the truth to be out but I think he wants to know the truth for himself, for me, Weber just needs to respect what the family Schumacher wants and this is really their rights in doing so, in not giving any facts about Michael Shumachers real condition,

You are right many people want a taste of information on somebody that they surely like and Willi Weber wants to know the truth, about Michael but he is out of authority in knowing the truth from the family and if the family doesn't want him  to know the truth, maybe the family does have a good reason and they surely know what Weber real intention might be,

I really don't know what I am going to do with F1 pool, and how to play but will look and learn about it, and just like you I never travel outside my country ever,

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is definitely a dangerous one for the drivers after watching that video posted earlier.
Haven't watched those F1 races as I only began watching a complete race in 2020.

Max Verstappen is of course the favorite to win and take fastest lap according to the latest odds on the site.
1.39x and 1.72x respectively.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/formula-1/formula-1/emilia-romagna-grand-prix-2023-race/emilia-romagna-grand-prix-2023-race-645850ee29195432b521d3e0

That 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was really a headache for some drivers and back then Max Verstappen did not finish the race at all, Lewis Hamilton becomes the champion of the grand prix, 2020 and Valtteri Bottas was 2nd and Daniel Ricciardo landed the 3rd, position,

While on the start of the race, Max Verstappen was in 3rd place, and he got a lead to Valtteri Botta's position but suddenly his tire explodes for him to crash truly there are many drivers and cars that are retiring and crashing without any warning surely Imola Circuit might be the most dangerous Circuit there is any thing can surely happen,

1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 16, 2023, 08:34:11 AM

Leverkusen's performance against Stuttgart was not good. Not only this match, but Leverkusen's performance has also been poor in the past several matches. Even against Roma, they were not able to perform well. Even the Leverkusen team has managed to win only one of the last 5 matches in the Bundesliga. Given their erratic performance, I was not at all surprised by watching Leverkusen's poor performance against Stuttgart. Leverkusen's offensive performance this season has been relatively poor. Leverkusen scored 80 goals in 34 matches last season. But they managed to score only 55 goals in 32 matches this season. A Leverkusen team would have been stronger if the attacking performance had been regular.

Actually, Leverkusen just did great it's just Stuttgart is just at an equal level as Leverkusen, as you can see Leverkusen got 12 goals to Stuttgart's 9 goals and the stats were just the same as Stuttgart, for me even if the Stats were the same you can not expect more to these 2 teams the season is nearing to end and I don't really think that they will likely do their best in this kind of situation, the thing is Leverkusen might also be underestimating Stuttgart in this situation, but anyway they likely don't want to go up the standings and just move on to another season and find a better players and get ready for the next season,


Has no fear for what? Missing points is the biggest fear from the players of dortmund and bayern right now. Missing points meant no trophy this season. It's very hard to say if bayern and dortmund will be losing at the same time. I hope that leipzig will be creating a miracle for dortmund. This will be helping dortmund to get bundesliga trophy from bayern. Im really boring to see bayern is always winning the league again and again. It's the time for dortmund to take bundesliga from bayern this season.
It will be the end for bayern if the club gets draw or even lose against leipzig. I consider leipzig as a strong team that can't be underrated right now. I hope that timo werner will be on fire. It will be helping dortmund to take trophy as soon as possible.
There are only a few matches remaining at this moment.

matchday 33 will be a little challenge for Bayern Munich and Dortmund in my opinion Bayern Munich their opponent will likely be Leipzig, but Maybe Leipzig will be too kind to give this game to Bayern Munich but I surely doubt it because Leipzig is at the 3rd position and their points are 60 right now 1 point ahead of Union Berlin, so 1 mistake and they are likely to fall down the 4th position, while Dortmund might have a not so struggle to match up because Augsburg are likely a team that may Surprise them but I really doubt that Augsburg could push through Dortmund, now that Dortmund got a great performance at the moment,

Just leipzig and köln left for Bayern, and we all know that they are good enough to beat those two teams easily in normal situations. I can't guarantee a win of course because it's football and sometimes we are wrong, but I feel like that is not going to be an issue at all, they will get a win. I think the best thing we can do at this point is to make sure that the world continues as we can, and that should be a lot normal.

We are not going to end up with anything bad or anything, but we need to make sure that we can get more firm grasp of the situation at hand, which could be something more careful, like not betting huge amounts on Bayern wins, I think they will, but no reason to risk it that way at all, we can move further along.

Right now it is hard to predict who's going to win here the lack of determination of some teams to win will likely become their lost, and I really don't want that to happen for them, Bundesliga is pretty much an interesting sports but likely I would stay away from betting for now and hope for the best, I am just going to ready for the next season of the Bundesliga, for me either for Bayern Munich and Dortmund to win the Bundesliga I am going to be OK with it,

I expected more from Daniel Rodriguez but Ian Garry was a lot faster and had more tools.  D Rod just had his boxing, no wrestling, couldn't even get the fight to the clinch and grind his opponent somehow.  I think a guy who could do that could give Garry problems.

Congrats on the win.

And for a Fight Night I thought the event was so so but it was better than I thought when I was watching it.  The next one tho...  I could def say that it's not really good.

Vid...

UFC Free Fight:  Dern vs Markos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmZAYxIjUo4

Well, Ian Garry also has the length and reach that likely pressure D Rod so much and those kicks from the body are something that Daniel Rodriguez is defending which means it is that powerful to hurt him, that was capitalized by Garry in initiating a self-care for D Rod's body so much that when Ian Garry kick to the head it was on full impact that shock D Rod, for a knock-out it was a technical knockout for sure if Garry could potentially have a match against a wrestler then he likely will have a problem about it, for sure Khamzat Chimaev, Gilbert Burns, and Shavkat Rakhmonov I really don't know if he's going to increase a rank if likely this 3 would be his opponent,

The next fight might be a little difficult for me to make interesting things that I may witness but the Main Event because of Mackenzie Dern this could be a lot more interesting her style with her submission was really insane but surely this event could also be a surprise for us if many on this event end is a KO/TKO or even a submission wins for some of the fights,

Just like in the Provided Video Mackenzie Dern wins via Submission with an Armbar to Randa Markos that was really awesome,

Jairzinho Rozenstruik was really 34 pounds heavier than Almeida that is why I have gone and bet for him I just didn't post it here, but anyway I really thought that Jailton Almeida will be having a hardtime taking the fight to the ground because Jairzinho Rozenstruik is heavier but I was wrong I really underestimated Almeida so much that he can surely trip Jairzinho Rozenstruik down for a takedown and that is all history I am not really well-versed in MMA and all you guys have said that a strikers weakness was a wrestler and I never believed you guys,

But moving on I guess we have a boring fight and it is between two women Mackenzie Dern VS Angela Hill

I think for now will be skipping this event and will never be betting on it for now,


Well, Striker's weakness is most likely Wrestlers, but strikers can depend on those takedowns with their takedown defense, but surely to defend they need to learn the basic of takedowns so likely they will also learn some basics of wrestling, whether it is Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Combat Sambo, or American wrestling, but most of the time Strikers will never resort to wrestling unless gets triggered in doing so but in Jairzinho Rozenstruik case, he might have the takedown defense but Almeida Still scrumble with him by moving sideways and tripping Jairzinho Rozenstruik to his side to take him down, likely Jairzinho Rozenstruik doesn't have an answer to Jailton Almeida's Wrestling, that is why he was very vulnerable to wrestling this is what was pretty common to heavyweights like Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Derrick Lewis they are one dimensional and technical fighters are reading their movement like a book,



And on the news, Kron Gracie broke his silence with his previous loss with the UFC 288 and said that he never threw any punch at all because of some bad advice, President Dana "TheSlaver" White later described the fight as “like coming out of a time capsule in 1995,” said the son of Rickson Gracie “came in very limited tonight.”

Truly a classic Dana White at its best, Kron Gracie has shared his thoughts on what has happened and that he is likely following bad advice, for sure his trainer and coach because of that "bad advice"  he is saying maybe they are now in bad terms, right now and likely Kron Gracie would likely search new camp to train himself, here are the LINK

Gambling is now really accesible nowadays, it starts with the tradition gambling wherein you are going to specific place to play personally or to gamble personally. It is now easily accessible because it already developed and we can now gamble online, there are so many websites online where we can gamble and the woeful fact is that people with any age can now gamble, if the website requires the idendtity then they can also use their parents ID or someone the know with valid ID.

Ive seen a qoute saying One has to know the risks and how to protect themselves,” she said. “[Gambling] does have alluring qualities that people have to be aware of this one says everything, there are a lot of gambler who have lost their lives becaus of addiction, addiction turns into depression this is not already a joke because it can really kill people. This is really destructive as it is now accessible 24/7 nowadays for only using phone or computer.

I am hoping that people who gamble can still prevent themselves from being addicted on it, there are still a lot of things that we can do to prevent addiction and those gambling websites or application can also help their customer by doing these things.

1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

With these kind of features, they might actually help or lessen the addiction of a gambler.

The possibility for a child to be playing at gambling at such a young age has low possibility it will surely depend on whether his or her parent can get accustomed to playing gambling if they are showing him or her a game that features a gambling kind of thing in it then he is likely exposing the kid to play gambling, that is when a child learns to gamble it will surely depend on their parents if they want to expose their child to gambling or not and would likely the kid will surely learn from them and to no one else about gambling

I think young adults can surely play gambling and would likely have knowledge about it and can surely get addicted to it, and likely prevention is always better than cure or limiting the kid from any platform that has a gambling feature on it, even with a simple kids game on a mobile gadget or device there are a gambling method that may involve I think as parents monitoring your child activity and what they play is up to us to control them,

Well, having "superstars" that are injury prone is a gamble and a high risk - high reward type of team. We saw it from the Phoenix although they're close to it but wasn't good enough. And after all the firing of these head coaches from teams that have got eliminated. That only shows that the team's management's weren't really happy with the result that they've invested heavily for their contracts. But say that Lebron will still play for Lakers for the next season, it is for sure that he's involved with the decision making into making the team greater and stronger.

It is really rewarding if it is toward a positive outcome but if that is not really towards a positive outcome then it is a high risk, Right now the Phoenix Suns say goodbye for now for the next season, most of the eliminated team, is surely working their way for training and some are looking forward to the trade in the next season, but sure let's focus on the game at hand the Los Angeles Lakers VS the Denver Nuggets for me


Yeah, that was a good acquisition back for them and good decision for Dennis. Well, if he has just taken the old contract offered to him that's giving him lots of money, he should have some other extended contract now but let's see if there will be a better compensation to him after this season.

We can not say for sure but if the Lakers would trade him because of what he has done with Draymond Green getting ejected like that but it is the least the Lakers could do for him was to watch him get ejected for a heated taunting to Greens' face, well after the match he posted on Instagram "WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!!! 💜💛 One of the biggest competitors there is !!! @money23green A lot of respect for you 💐 HOF"

Well, at least he is sports after getting ejected from the court,


Yes, we know that the Celtics will be the favorite in this series, not just every game. But just like in the Sixers series there could be unexpected results, like Sixers stealing game 1 for them. But they were able to get it back and win it in 7, so not every easy. And as we are now in the conference finals, it will be harder against the veteran Miami Heat. We thought that they are done, but this experience players specially Jimmy Butler still has one aces down in their sleeves and will everything they got against the Celtics. so it could really be six or seven series again.

A lot of distinct things happen from that game on and I think Jalen Brunson got a lot of experience from losing against the Miami Heat, and surely Jimmy Butler and the team aswell, it is basketball after all and you will never know what may happen with a game just like the Warriors game with the Lakers it is one interesting game and surely Warriors fan like me will think that the game was fixed because of the number of FreeThrows that the Lakers got but Lakers is a diving team to the net that they got so much free throws, but yeah it is a fun topic but still, the Lakers is a deserving team so I was really cool about it,

I had a very good weekend with my UFC and MMA predictions, unlike betting on other sports with terrible results, so it pays off to mix different sports sometimes.
This was OK event, nothing special to see, Johnny Walker won again Anthony Smith but slave master Dana White was not impressed with his performance  Tongue
Jailton Almeida won like most people expected and he is on nice run with four wins in a row, maybe he is getting closer to title contender fight.


My bet for the NBA are exploding to oblivion which is why I have stopped betting for the NBA, for now, I am surely lucky with my MMA prediction but have totally missed the Jairzinho Rozenstruik VS Jailton Almeida fight because of my brother's wedding but it doesn't matter it is a wedding after all, Jailton Almeida looks nice and powerful with those takedowns even though Rozenstruik is much heavier than him he still manages to make Rozenstruik goes down,  this is surely going to be a 1 fighter that many heavyweights will surely struggle they will surely Struggle with Jailton Almeida's wrestling capabilities, and how he uses the fence for secure lockdown on his opponent just like how Khabib Nurmagomedov is doing,

Wow!
You had all the bouts in the main card correctly picked. Only the messed up prelims at the very start were your downfall in predicting the right outcome of those matches.
The very first fight which was very early in the day started with referee taking points away from the fighters.
The next one which was drowned in controversy was the Ji Yeon Kim fight. Where she kicked off her opponent who didn't want to let her get up so she could go to her corner to sit on the stool. The referee delayed until the beginning of the next round in deciding to deduct a point. This made her corner go mad. Then while the next round was in progress Kim threw a knee to the head of Bohm's temple while see was down. Which is illegal. So that was another point deduction.
I missed some of the other bouts in the prelims but that is how it began, with illegal moves.

Jailton Almeida's win was a nice submission move after Jairzinho Rozenstruik tried to get out of the mounted position but exposed his back. This is where Almeida finished him in the rear choke hold.
Done in the first round and a clean fight, which was different from the start of this event.

I was just lucky, last time that was mostly red, I just very much know mostly on the Main Card I never expected Tainara Lisboa to submit Jessica-Rose Clark because she surely not really doing that much and Jessica-Rose Clark pretty much how to defend that, but it was a close match Jessica-Rose Clark got into a mount and got Lisboa a cut I really though it will be a doctor stoppage but sure enough both girl struggle and Tainara Lisboa just got a good opportunity in getting that submission,

Jairzinho Rozenstruik panicked and didn't really know what he would do it was a nasty loss for Jairzinho Rozenstruik Jailton Almeida really is a submission artist, those faint left punch was just a decoy for Almeida to shoot the takedowns, and because Rozenstruik was pretty much distracted when Almeida move his body to the right it was a takedown pretty much Jairzinho Rozenstruik don't have many answers to the wrestling,

There are only two things that could happen.

1. Lakers closes up this series
2. GSW would be able to push it on game 7 (hopefully)

Seeing on that recent Nuggets and Suns game then i could say that whether these two teams could be able to match up Denver then it wont really be that an easy stuff on beating up this team.
Jokic and Murray? Dont know if they would be able to stop but well we cant really tell it though on which team will be facing up on semis. It is really just that sad to see Durant pissed off
about on some choking.  Cheesy

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers have won against the Golden State Warriors they are now advancing in facing the Denver Nuggets and in my observation of the game the Lakers and the Warriors the Lakers now have a shooting average of not like the Warriors but high enough than with their old Lakers team, now that they have shooting guards that are consistent in shooting I think they can handle those in defense and in a play of the Nuggets, but I could be wrong because the Lakers is a new form team and they could have a hard time with the Nuggets for sure,

They’re saying Chris Paul is done in Phoenix. Vegas currently has the odds on Chris Paul being with the Lakers next season. This wouldn’t surprise me at all as LeBron has always wanted to play with Chris Paul. I’m not sure having an injury prone Chris Paul on the roster with Anthony Davis will be great for the postseason. They’ll probably talk about it during tonight’s game.

That is not a good combination, right now Anthony Davis is hanging like a thread whether he will be injured or Questionable just like Lebron James, but I think it is not a good idea in acquiring Chris Paul for the Lakers, I think Dennis Schroder is the best for a long time this is for the future of Lakers


Agree to that, after KD left them there's an impression that they already finished but we all know what happened after that, still
have that potential as the core still playing and there are players who can adjust and improve.

They just need to re-assess what happened and see if how they will be able to fill whatever is missing.

in regard to their interior defense, Looney and Green need someone to adjust and help them, though I personally think that it was
Wiggins who adjust last year to fill that piece maybe they just need to enhance in terms of rotating the defense.

The Wiggins right now is not the same as the Wiggins last season, and the Jordan Poole right now is not like the Poole last season, well in all that drama Andrew Wiggins has some personal problem and Poole is having some issues with something maybe spending $500,000 USD in dating this is the problem with the Warriors new main core giving them lots of money and they will not hit it to the gym there is no hard work anymore, I really wish this would be a lesson for the Warrior rosters but if they still on the Warriors team that is,

1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: May 14, 2023, 07:54:04 PM

I kind of agree. F1 is not like football because in the end it's the car, and the driver, but the history seems to be replaced more and more these days with social media nonsense. I mean, I get it, we have to be modern and follow what the fans follow, but I feel like if I turn on football I can still see mainly news and tactics and stuff. Same with tennis.

But if I look up F1 or MMA, first thing I see is nonsense posts lol or maybe Google is being biased anyway.

Leclerc is bitter pill for any supporter, and so far I'm glad I followed the "history" of this season as in past results. I will keep doing so for a while as it works well for me.

Yes please play in the pool Smiley I'm "top" there now, enjoy while it lasts lol

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441078

Well, there are still some tactics and stuff with the F1 Races, and that will surely be brought up to the driver and if that driver is pretty much well verse with the Circuit but Soccer, MMA, and F1 are pretty much not the same, and pretty much do not have the same technique or tactics that have been used,

Well, social media is kind of manipulative in some cases and just ignoring some will surely not harm your knowledge with the F1 but you got to truly find the real ones to you can ignore the news, I am more into history, and digging up what has happened to certain drivers like what has happened to Michael Schumacher that I think he is in a vegetative state right now and his family don't want to let Schumacher be out of the public,

While Leclerc is kind of the silent guy and always kind of a supportive teammate to Carlos Sainz, throughout his career I think fans want an Identity of their own and be very hungry in being on the top,

Well will look further into that pool for now I think and the price is in free bets? I will think about it 1st,

I do hope that there will be a fight soon. The Red Bull car is definitely OP and it's going to be always them at front. Since there are still races left in the season, I hope there's something that can be done with that and have a fight.

Do you guys think that Haas will be able to do that? I remember them being able to be in P4 in the recent GP and maybe they could have that chance once they are more consistent with the results. Who knows? Huh

RB19 right now is a dominating force but if Haas and Mercedes would do something about the upgrade then maybe there will be a change or a slight change in their performance I think we just need to look further and wait for the next round this week to start, for sure we can  see it by practice run,

1117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 14, 2023, 07:14:51 PM

The main card seems bigger than the main event Cheesy

No doubt Alimkhanuly is really strong if we look it from his stats, but Butler isn't really a weak boxer, but Alimkhanuly is a huge favorite since the odds is 1.03x and the odds for Butler is 11.00x. I still don't see Alimkhanuly will definitely win this fight, maybe upset could happen in this match.

As for Moloney vs Astrolabio match, even though Moloney is a challenger, but he has a good chance to win in this fight.

Janibek Alimkhanuly vs Steven Butler was really a great fight to watch even though it didn't last long because in Round 2 Alimkhanuly delivered a devastating uppercut to Butler that causes him to wobble it was a very powerful blow that was then connected with much more punches, then a left hook that have finished Butler on round 2,

While Moloney and Astrolabio was a close fight but because of Moloney's technical style and his experience with boxing he prevail and got more hits than Astrolabio, incredible fight even though it is not a win for the Filipino boxer, Astrolabio doesn't have an an to be ashamed because Jason Maloney is a great fighter,

I just happen to talk with my cousin this day and he said Casimero's fight is bound to happen tomorrow. Not looking for some odds but will likely to root for my fellow countryman, hoping he win this and watch that rematch against Inoue.
The fight is over, Casimero win via unanimous decision. Casimero never fought Inoue, it's not a rematch if this fight will happen, it's the first fight for him against Inoue. With this win, maybe Inoue would consider to fight with Casimero regardless Inour will or lose against Fulton.

However there's another match will happen in the next few hours, it's Moloney vs Astrolabio.

We can see the fast movement of Casimero against Fillipus Nghitumbwa he can surely evade all Fillipus Nghitumbwa's punches you can definitely see the length and the durability of Casimero's opponent and in round 6 John Riel Casimero Knockdown Fillipus Nghitumbwa but he got back up and finish the fight and from that, all Fillipus Nghitumbwa have done was to cover and run, both fighter has shown good boxing

However the Moloney vs Astrolabio was not bad but Astrolabio lost the fight, it was all in Moloney's textbook a close match, but Moloney won the fight that he uses fight IQ and experience to win against Vincent Astrolabio,

Assia Miri VS Joana Chevreuil
Islem Masraf DEF Azamat Aboukhanov




I really think that Fabian Edwards really did great against Gegard Mousasi Edwards destroys one of the biggest names in Bellator surely Fabian Edwards was composed towards the fight and started very competitively unlike it became very one-sided towards Edwards, he even got a takedown over Mousasi, and Edwards was hitting hard with his precise striking and even if he is on the advantage he didn't lose composure and stayed on their game plan and never went for a knockout or submission, and then when the fight was finished and Fabian Edwards announced the winner the champion Johnny Eblen got inside the ring to confront the winner Edwards and they got scuffles that the officials need to get in and stop the commotion well title fight is next for Edwards,


Indeed a great fight Fabian Edwards was dominating the fight at 1st it was a very close one but Edwards was really something with the stand-up and getting Gegard Mousasi on the ground was easy for him to scuffled with Mousasi on the ground, and surely he dominated the stand-up so much, now the title shot is within reach for Fabian Edwards when Johnny Eblen shows inside the ring and have a scuffled against him until the officials have separated them,

Well Leon Edwards was so much proud on his brother and just like his brother Leon Edwards, Fabian Edwards is motivated in getting the Middleweight belt,

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy The Fighting Kittens are so Fluffy!

The only fighting kittens I prefer. Warning, viewers discretion is advised, as there is a KO.



Not interested in woman MMA, probably never saw a full round of any fight. Just not mine. All those chicks are not in my taste. All those wide backs, huge shoulders, muscles (tbh I am just scared of them lol Cheesy).

Aljo vs O'Malley - I wonder when this fight is going to happen. Aljo just fought and probably will rest for 4-6 months, Sean last fight was in October 2022 against Yan, so this is a huge pause for him if he fights Aljo next. Sean must have a fight in few months imho.

Funny how Henry Cejudo jumped into bantamweight ranking to top3 after 3 years pause and moved everyone back Cheesy



It is your loss for not wanting that Juicy Grin I mean hard to get the body of Jessica Rose Clark you got a great partner with her I can surely assure you of that, Although that kitten that you have shown truly is really cute, well we had different wants and don't and there are probably a wall there that you are leaping here and I got respect to that,

Well Aljo and O'Malley fight definitely we will see it maybe this year, but I think it is already on the horizon so let's just wait,



I totally missed betting for this event I was busy attending my brother's wedding so yeah I totally forgot about the event, and the event was too early aswell, but I got hints and watch some recap of the fight, Man the Prospects are getting good beating up the older guys,

Jailton Almeida VS Jairzinho Rozenstruik

In this fight, I am going to bet on a submission win over Jailton Almeida and because the odds are too high for Almeida it could become not profitable, but this fight was really that fast and Jairzinho Rozenstruik looks easy for Jailton Almeida this is something that needs to be addressed in the Heavyweight division there aren't too many wrestlers and now that we got Jailton Almeida in the Heavyweight this will surely change everything, he will surely dominate every fight and in this fight, we can see that Almeida eventually throws a left that Rozenstruik will defend but it was all faint to get into a double leg takedown but Almeida eventually got into the leg and he would be tripped Rozenstruik sideway to get him to the ground and as we can see on the ground I notice that Jairzinho Rozenstruik was constantly looking at his corner he is waiting for instructions he doesn't know what he is going to do with Almeida, and that is a problem with many heavyweights those scrumble in the ground they don't have much defence or answer with those stumble on the ground,

Johnny Walker VS Anthony Smith

Johnny Walker was so much more athletic than Anthony Smith, and Smith was really having a hardtime against Walker and so much even though it is not a submission or a KO/TKO win it is still a win for Johnny Walker and it is a tremendous fight for Walker he sure capitalized with his advantage given Smith a hard time and pressuring him with those kicks, and that flying knee was the thing for Walker now and because of his athleticism it was proven a great one to be executed by Walker Perfect timing,




1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 14, 2023, 11:51:36 AM
I think its bad for Bayern Munich after losing in Champion League because before Tuchel become manager, Bayern Munich has impressive record 8 winning of 8 games. I don't think has any team with perfect winning record in Champion League from group stage until success lead to quarter final before defeating by Manchester City.

But Bayern have forget all failure this season from DFP Pokal until with Champion league, left Bundesliga tittle in this season and one points remaining from Dortmund must be utilized as best possible in the remaining 3 more matches in the Bundesliga if want close this season without any trophy yet.

We can not blame it on Thomas Tuchel, there is no way in a crucial state when Nugelsmann leave Bayern Munich the team is on the brink of collapsing, I really think that Tuchel is doing some patches to keep the team alive patches that are surely not last forever at least he had done his part just to survive that Bundesliga season, I really think they shouldn't fired Julian Nagelsmann because I think he got some ideas for the team that he is still workin on but when Bayern Munich fired him it all go into the drain,


Munich won a big win. and that's exactly what they have to do now because Dortmund also got a convincing victory. both of them mutually collect points in the remaining matches this season. The race for the Bundesliga trophy seems to be getting more exciting, the fight may be like last season, there's only Munich and Dortmund. but the situation this season is different because Munich has not locked the title. so Dortmund still has a chance.

Schalke pretty much needed that win but because Bayern Munich is in such focus right now they can not make any mistakes now because Dortmund is just in their tail, and 1 lost record that will surely make them get back down because 1 to 2 points are what Dortmund is needing, just 1 game and they will advance to the top, While Monchengladbach is in the safe position but still I think they are on the rest now and there is no chance in betting for teams that are in the middle and are safe from Relegation, but for teams that are on the bottom to top they surely need a winning and will do anything to win their game,
