Well, Congratulations to Team Aces on winning the Skills Challenge and to Sabrina Ionescu for winning that solid performance on the 3-Point Contest

Kelsey Plum - The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement

Did you guys see this interview with Kelsey Plum this interview was 7 months ago and this is the 1st that I have watched it Kelsey Plum is bargaining with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson on the earnings of the WNBA and comparing it to the NBA, Now addressing the elephant in the room, I really think that Charles Barkley is just being a gentleman in the video but I notice that Kelsey Plum have addresses Barkley for not having a championship in his career but Bargaining in not having the same Salary as the NBA Barkley didn't make some explaining and slap Plum with the harsh truth that the WNBA is not really gaining profit like the NBA so you can never be on the same boat as the NBA, and because the NBA is just helping the WNBA staying afloat by giving some of its revenue, well they surely can not demand anything at all, and I don't think that Kelsey Plum is not realizing what she is saying here, there is a profit but not as 80% much as the NBA that is a huge difference I might be so wrong about the 80% maybe it was 90% profit difference with the NBA

Well, don't get me wrong here I surely love the WNBA and still watch these females play the game but for Kelsey Plum for saying such things I really think she needs to see the big picture and the TNT guys really didn't say something about it on live maybe they will just say it if they are not LIVE but they have surely done a great job in not getting into Plum for saying such things is an absolutely great thing for the WNBA,

He did actually act like a spoiled brat there but I think there's a root over all those things that's why he acted like that. It just all piled up and so he released it in the octagon which is a big mistake. He really looked like a villain while saying all those things to Dricus Du Plessis. Some people are looking up to Israel Adesanya and think of him as their hero, this act will probably decrease the number of fans that follows him.

Now, it is a must-win fight for The Stylebender. He must prove all the words that came out of his mouth on that day. Also, because of the less damage that Drucus received during the fight against Robert Whittaker, they might schedule it as early as they can so fasten your seatbelts because we will see the champion fight again and try to defend his title.
I am excited but I am kind of in doubt with the odds that will be given by our favorite sports bookies. I wish 1.50 - 1.70 for Adesanya.


He really acted accordingly to his emotion and he is really showing his bad side well I am a fan of Israel Adesanya but what he have done in the Octagon to Dricus  Du Plessis is just not accordingly to his values for sure, that is Dricus Du Plessis time and he won over Robert Whittaker for sure, even though he is a champion you are right that many have looked upon him even the kids really know him now and idolizes him, it is surely villainous to do such thing, but we still have time this fight will be on September 09, 2023, here is the link of the rumored date of the fight at TAPOLOGY

For sure Israel Adesanya will come up as a heavy favorite again, one of the articles that I have read, predicted that Adesanya will be a heavy favorite in this fight again,

I am only excited with the Main Event for sure but will look on with the Co-Main aswell but for the Holm VS Silva fight this is going to be a banger for sure Mayra Bueno Silva is not a walk in the park for Holly Holm, due to her perfect wrestling game this is going to be a crucial fight for her, while for sure Holly Holm is readying for this fight for sure and for me as she have said in her previous fight and interview she surely likes a challenge and surely Holly Holm is an adjusting fighting on who is her opponent,


I also thought that the Opponent Holly Holm is not that easy for sure Holm would need to adjust so much for this fight because Mayra Bueno Silva is a terror in the Submission so Holly Holm should know most of the Grappling positions and how to escape those position because 1 wrong move for Holm then it is game over Mayra Bueno Silva will surely capitalize with Holms error for sure and Mayra Bueno Silva can even submits you even if she is under you,

This card sure is full of lovely ladies but I am not in for that and just focus more on the fights, well and I think this card I really want Holly Holm to make it big here and her Opponent has great submission knowledge so yeah the takedowns and the Submission position Holm should be mindful in that aspect, and Aside from the Main Event I haven't really seen a worthy bet to put up in here, and I am still doing my research,


Well, I tend to focus on both but surely the fight is what we are after in the UFC, so yeah Mayra Bueno Silva has a wrestling game plan for sure looking at her wins there are a lot of Submissions for sure she can finish this fight with one of her takedowns and then going into submission but looking at Holly Holms recent fight for me Holly Holm is an adapting fighter and after she lost on Ketlen Vieira she returns in an amazing form and now she got wrestling aswell you can see the dedication to improve in Holm and that absence on the UFC proves that she was still increasing her craft with the wrestling game, so for me, this is going to be an interesting fight for sure,

Adesanya surely has not learned his lesson from that video which you posted above.
@danherbias07 You can see in the screenshot below how childish he can be where you see from another camera angle of him sticking up the bird at one of his coaches or trainers while doing the face off with Dricus.


@owengtam09 Every MMA social media channel is talking about this including those current fighters in the UFC who have youtube channels non-stop with their own opinion on who is in the right here.
With it being slotted for a September fight date that is only about two months away and it can get even worse.

Meanwhile, Israel and Volk have been training Zuckerberg for his bout with Musk which Dana White even eluded to in his post fight interview from last weekend.


From what I have seen so far, in my opinion, Israel Adesanya is acting like a kid because he sees Dricus Du Plessis as a bigger threat, this is just what I think for me way bigger of a threat than Alex Pereira because Du Plessis has the ground game and submission for me this is an opponent to Izzy that has the ground game so solid than Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori, in my opinion, and Du Plessis also has the power in hanging on to Izzy so for me this is an interesting fight to see and going into that fight for sure Dricus Du Plessis will be the underdog here so for me maybe I will go with Dricus Du Plessis for this fight if you look at Du Plessis VS Till fight you can see the full wrestling capabilities of Dricus, comparing it to the recent Wrestler that Israel Adesanya fought,

Just as I thought that -3.5 for the Connecticut Sun was too small of a handicap for a team that had been dominating the league. That was my only win yesterday and my only single bet because I put the others in a parlay.
My parlay lost due to New York Liberty not covering the spread and then the Minnesota Lynx being blown out by the Dallas Wings which surprised me as the odds are almost tied.
Natasha Howard with another double-double for the Dallas Wings, 28 points, and 14 rebounds, that's a monstrous game for her. The last time I saw her make big numbers was against the Las Vegas Aces where she scored 32 points and 13 rebounds and they still lose the game.
Arike Ogunbowale also made a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Whatever the Lynx did is surely not enough to stop these two monsters.

The Connecticut Sun only consists only of 11 players max I don't know why there are only 9 players present when Brionna Jones was the only one injured, so from those 11 players Brionna Jones was the only one known that will not play but there are another 1 and that is Liz Dixon, we can not see Liz Dixon in the list of injuries but she doesn't play,
and there is no given explanation for what happened to her, well Although the New York Liberty won the game they didn't cover up the spread so yeah it was your loss, while I missed the other 3 games,



Here are my result with my picks

Atlanta Dream VS Seattle Storm SCORE 85 - 75 - WIN

Whoa! From start to finish the Atlanta Dreams is crashing the Seattle Storm even though Jordan Horston did a great job in keeping the team intact with a double-double of 10 rebounds and 23 points it was not enough with the Atlanta Dreams spread at the start of the game, Rhyne Howard got 15 points, Cheyenne Parker got 18 points and Allisha Gray got 19 points, in capturing the lead for the Atlanta Dream, it was a total win for sure,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 78 - 97 - WIN

The Las Vegas Aces got a huge lead in the 1st quarter then it continues until the end of the game just like I thought that this game will be a one-sided one, for sure even though Azura Stevens and Nneka Ogwumike is getting the score closer it was not enough and the Las Vegas has already got a tremendous lead at the beginning of the game, Jackie Young got 14 points, Chelsea Gray got 16 points, Kelsey Plum got 21 points and A'ja Wilson got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 25 points, getting the game for them,



826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 12, 2023, 11:06:37 PM
I surely missed those 3 early games but no worries there are still 2 more games today so here are my picks

Atlanta Dream VS Seattle Storm

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Dream and 4.20 for the Storm, Right now Iliana Rupert and Aari McDonald can not play for the Atlanta Dream while Seattle Storm doesn't have any injuries Right now even though there are no injuries for the Storm the Atlanta Dream players so far are solid that could perform well, or their 2 injuries was nothing at all and they are performing just like they are with no injuries at all, so my pick is the Atlanta Dream,
 
Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces

The stake odds for this game are 5.58 for the Sparks and 1.07 for the Aces, right now Katie Lou Samuelson is out of the season, while her sister Karlie Samuelson is questionable  if she is able to play today, Lexie Brown, Nia Clouden, Layshia Clarendon, Chiney Ogwumike, and Dearica Hamby are all out and unable to play for the Sparks while Candace Parker is questionable if she can play, and Riquna Williams can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, right now that injuries were troubling the Sparks, while the Aces doesn't have any problem at all and will surely perform at their 100% so my pick for this game is the Las Vegas Aces,

I would prefer Ricciardo instead of Perez at Red Bull honestly. Because Ricciardo is a way more skilled driver than Perez. One can understand that even by comparing his time to Perez's time at Red Bull. Ricciardo was even able to bring the competition to Verstappen. If it weren't for some issues between the two drivers Ricciardo would have still stayed for a longer time period.

I don't say that Perez is not skilled but I just started to think he is overrated. Because he makes simple mistakes quite often these days. He is even having big issues with qualifying for Q3. Red Bull doesn't have to watch his trying to climb to top places from for example 15th place.

I think Red Bull would make use of a more consistent driver and I believe Ricciardo deserves a second chance.

Well, Daniel Ricciardo really is a skilled driver, and saying that the management of Red Bull is readying him to replace Sergio Perez whenever he gets sideways in the performance department, then he is there just to keep Checo performing well, but likely Daniel Ricciardo is driving on the simulation and calibrating the cars to function well, I really think they can say he can go toe to toe with Verstappen is because of the Simulation race, pretty much I would like to see that and if Sergio Perez would likely be taken out of the RedBull team in place of Ricciardo then I will be OK with that, But right now Nyck De Vries is out and Daniel Ricciardo is in,

I think the plan of RB its pretty easy, if Ricciardo performs good on AlphaTauri what its left of the season he its gonna be again in RedBull for 2024 alongside Max Verstappen.

And its a wise decission, you gain a really good second driver, and one who knows the team and team knows him, also he tested all the year the last car, so.... win win.

In personal words, i like to see him coming back, Daniel its always a charmfull guy.



Well, that is the whole Plan I think that Red Bull's intentions were pretty much clear they want Daniel Ricciardo to be ready to replace whoever is not performing well, and I truly get what Red Bull is doing here for sure right now Alpha Tauri is where Daniel Ricciardo is going to be, I say because Yuki Tsunoda is looking great with the Alpha Tauri, so it is goodbye to Nyck De Vries, for sure,

Bayern Munich have a good attacking system and with good growth of Musiala, they will have better attacking and creativeness in a new season. They still lack of a good central striker as Choupo-Moting can not replace Lewandowski. He is at a lower level than Lewandowski and Bayern are looking for a new striker.

A most common rumor about Bayern Munich transfer recent weeks is about Harry Kane. Kane will give Bayern Munich many options for their attacking system and will be a good striker for them. I believe he is the best choice for Bayern Munich too because he is not too expensive like Mbappe and Haaland, has good quality and he is not too old. Signing with a world class striker and can use him in next 4 years at highest level, it is a very promising transfer for Bayern Munich.

The Current Bayern Munich now is effective with those current play of passing on Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane so even though they don't have a quality of Striker, they can manage a very dominant  play, but for now Bayern Munich would need a masterful class striker because now many teams are upgrading their roster and the last season was a wake up call for they to do whatever there are to make a very formidable team,


He will have more time with this summer, transfers to improve the team and pre-season training time to help players understand more about his tactics. If in a new season, he won't get excellent result, I believe Bayern Munich will consider to fire him. In crisis after Covid-19, clubs are less patiently waiting for good results from their coaches if bad results affect their club income.

But if Thomas Tuchel have done a masterful job in taking Bayern Munich in a different level game and with that intention of getting Bayern Munich capable attacker let's just hope he gets what he needed and landed Bayern Munich in the top of the Bundesliga next season and landing them with the Championship league aswell then Thomas Tuchel will be another coach that led Bayern Munich to the championship league again, because back on season 2019-20 now it is almost 3 long season that Bayern Munich landed their championship league trophy,

I guess most of us didn't have a good betting line on that day. Well, that made me feel a little better because I am not alone.  Cheesy

Yup! It was really hard but you have gone with the underdog in the main event and the favorite in the Co-Main, which end up very differently you should have gone with a very different approach but again we can not likely see the future so better luck next time and bounce back on the next event,

Here I am not going to end up betting for the underdog but I will surely bet for the Israel Adesanya. I just wish the lines will be pretty enough for a profit.
Dricus Du Plessis already had something to say against the champion Adesanya.
Quote
“He’s behaving like a clown in there. That’s not how a champion behaves. That’s not at all how a man behaves. He’s behaving like a child. Conduct yourself like a champion. There’s people looking up to you, and you’re behaving like that. If that sells tickets, good for him. I’ll sell tickets in my way. I’m a gentleman, I’m a man, and I’ll behave like a man.”
https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/7/9/23788572/dricus-du-plessis-israel-adesanya-behaved-like-a-clown-at-ufc-290-adesanya-responds
Early marketing, I like it. This way they can boost the number of pay-per-view sales. Considering it's Adesanya, there's no doubt he can pull a lot of customers but Du Plessis might need to do some things to put it in the number 1 trend.

For sure I am also going with Israel Adesanya because he is proven the real Style-Bender within him, and likely that he will win that fight for sure and I am betting on it,

Meanwhile, Dana White would not care about what happened there especially Adesanya using the N-word in the microphone.
He said, "He is black. I don't give a sh*t."
They surely made it hot so early, I bet many UFC fans now are excited to see this happen as early as possible too but Du Plessis will need his rest first.

Dana White is savage in giving those media interviewers answers  they regret asking Dana White, for sure the interviewer will now think twice before giving those questions because Dana White will just murder-slap them,

UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Bueno Silva

DATE: 07.15.2023
TIME: 07:00 PM ET
Venue: UFC Apex
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States




Looking at this card I only see Fighting Kitties and for me, Viktoriya Dudakova is mostly hot for sure adding up Norma Dumont and Ailin Perez to the bunch of fighting kitties for this event, but getting the fighting kitties aside the fights that I may look at on this event are the Terrance McKinney VS Nazim Sadykhov, and the Tucker Lutz VS Melsik Baghdasaryan for me that will be a banger for the upcoming event for the UFC,
831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 10, 2023, 09:52:42 PM

I am quite foreign when you mention AC Florenz and it turns out that it is Fiorentina. Grin

It seems that this fee is still considered insufficient for Werder Bremen considering the slick performance of Niclas Füllkrug last season, which managed to score 16 goals and 5 assists for the club. Maybe if Fiorentina really wants his services they will have to follow the offer that Werder Bremen wants around 20 million euros.

Actually, I'm quite sure with Niclas Füllkrug that he will become a great striker if he joins another team from next season because it would be a shame if he still stays at Werder Bremen, who are always at the bottom of the table. However, if later Bayern Munich are interested in bringing in him as an option for failing to recruit Harry Kane, of course that is a very good idea and for Niclas Füllkrug he has known the Bundesliga for quite a long time and he doesn't need to adapt again for the match later.

Well, if the Third Bid of Bayern Munich for Harry Kane failed despite a go signal for Kane that he wants to go to Bayern Munich may be the Niclas Füllkrug could be available for them, and because the 1st and 2nd bids for Harry Kane with Tottenham still fighting for it, Harry Kane now wants out, of Tottenham and the Niclas Füllkrug will be an easy deal for Bayern Munich I think this is certainly what Bayern Munich was thinking all along,


I watched Jadon Sancho's performance. He is quite talented. He also played very well with Dortmund. And the important thing is that Jadon Sancho is still young. This player is only 23 years old. If Manchester United decides to sell Jadon Sancho, it is very likely that Jadon Sancho has a conflict with Ten Hag. Otherwise, Manchester United should not sell Jadon Sancho. If Jadon Sancho could adapt himself well to United's squad, he could have supported Manchester United for a long time. However, if Sancho has a conflict with the coach, it will not be right for Sancho to stay with Manchester United.

If that is the case and that is why Manchester United will loan Jadon Sancho to Dortmund the fact that Jadon Sancho has some conflict with his coach but Manchester United don't want to throw Jadon Sancho out of Manchester United completely that they would likely loan him to the other team, but Tottenham is likely eyeing in getting Jadon Sancho and they have enquired a statement for Man United on Jadon Sancho's future if they could likely get his or not,


As far as I know Bayern wouldn't mind if Mané decides to leave he club, but they want to try to sell him for a price similar to what they have bought him for. But after that season I doubt that any club is interested in paying that much. But Manè also won't be interested in sitting on the bench most of the time and he will try to change something about his current status, which is definitely not a safe position in the team. But what top club would want him now? And would he be willing to sign a contract with a weaker team? That is why I disagree here that he will not consider going to Saudi Arabia. If the incentive is there, Mané could be the next one to go there.

If that is the case then I think they will let Sadio Mane stay for the team to clear his performance for the next season I really think he will not cost convenient to the team as he is on the assessment of if he has a bright future, to begin with, I think Thomas Tuchel will give Sadio Mane a proper role and on the position that he likes and what he does best, and not to shove to him a position he would likely don't have any idea off for me a good showcase for Sadio Mane to properly execute a good play, for the team ,

Hamilton not even close to the front, can't believe I thought he would do well, but who knows, the others in front can mess up and push him up a little.

I remember someone talking about Piastri last race and he starts in 3rd place. Maybe this time? Wink

For the Mercedes getting down again and getting beaten by the much-improved version of the McLaren I guess the Mercedes will need to upgrade again, but because of Hamilton's Driver instinct and he is surely a great driver reading the atmosphere when he could go through with racing a car in front of him he is likely to have that certain skill of reading the situations, but surely enough Lando Norris with his MCL60 chassis is much doing a great job in the Great Britain GP, and right now next one is Hungary is next I am truly excited for Mercedes and McLaren Progresses during this session,


That would be one of the best comeback stories for F1, but I don't think it would happen, it would cause great embarassment for both driver and the team if they did that. Let's see though Wink

I would likely want to see Sergio Perez stay on RedBull and I would likely him to leave at the same time, but I really don't really know what to feel about him he will always be just the 2nd driver for RedBull if he keeps on performing like this, there will never be a Sergio Perez as a top Driver for RedBull if Max Verstappen still exist in the RedBull team, I surely want to know what Sergio Perez is feeling right now if he is mad or envy about the Success of Verstappen, I will surely understand, but as you have said let's see Through on this,


It was surely a fearful day if the Belgium GP track is not rearranged or changed but given that small amount of time I think the F1 will surely proceed with what they got, and let's just hope that nothing happens in the upcoming Belgium GP and that the Eau Rouge will not so Dangerous and pray for the safety of the drivers,


Just like you, I am also hoping that the Belgium GP would finish with all Drivers safe and well if that Eau Rouge could like will never change then a safe drive for them in that corner because we only have a short time for the F1 officials for that corner to change, and Eau Rouge is still a beautiful corner that most drivers love and hate,

Was not surprised that Pantoja would win. He is like a cryptonite fo Superman, like Pereira for Izzy  Grin
Now I think Pantoja would defende his belt against Kratos, and then would probably face Moreno again. And only then, Moreno would win.

Btw guys, what do you think about series of 3-4 fights between one and the same fighters? Does it makes division boring or pause for others. Is it ok, as other fighters level aint that good as those who have series.

That Pantoja win is full of controversy so I think that Dana White will do something about that and will surely make a rematch on this and For Brandon Moreno is used to back-to-back fights like this he surely has a great back-to-back fight against Deiveson Figueiredo and eventually has proven his worth by winning that fight so maybe we can see a rematch between the two for sure,

Well In getting a series of 3 - 4 fights with the same fighters for me I am OK with it as long as they will show a banger of a fight, for example, the Israel Adesanya fight with Alex Pereira, that Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno back to back fight has something different and exciting every time these two fights so I am OK with it it is good if we are not expecting the result ahead but if it was completely one-sided,


Rodriguez was never able to find an approach to Volkanovski, despite the advantage in height, he just tried to get Volkanovski, but instead he ran into a series of blows, after rapprochement. Actually Rodriguez noticeably fizzled out in the second round. In the third round, the same mistakes and in close combat, Rodriguez missed a blow to the jaw and Volkanovski, in the usual manner, transferred Rodriguez to the floor and ended the fight with a series of blows. If evaluate the fight, then everything was under the complete control of Volkanovski, and in fact, Rodriguez had no chance.

That series of blow of kicks to Volkanovski was entering Volkanovski those are good kicks for Rodriguez and surely Alexander Volkanovski isn't really perfect he doesn't really have a defense against those kicks but in order for him to read Rodriguez fight sequence he let that hit I'm on purpose but the time he gets used to yair Rodriguez sequence of strikes he already knew when to enter it and take Yair a solid punch then takedown to ground and pound, for me that has rocked Yair Rodriguez with solid damage from there,

What was that thing with Robbie Lawler? Did he retire? Or was it just a celebratuon of his 30th victory? I did not manage to watch all tha post fight thing. Saw a KO, repeat but then the tv channel was switches… It is about time for him to retire. 40+ already. Remember him when he had hair and ufc fighters got funny retro trunks  Grin

He retired men, it was his retirement fight that is why Joe Rogan said this in the ring interview and he stated "I am here for the last time the Ruthless Robbie Lawler and that was a storybook ending to an absolutely spectacular career and so on" from that start of an interview I already realized that this is it and this is the ending of his career at the UFC, that is why Joe Rogan was adding the last KO of Lawlers spectacular career, I was a retirement ceremony For Robbie Lawler and watching this surely have tears in Lawler's eyes, here are the Video of that interview,

Congratulations guys, that's a perfect bet if you stick with the three games only. I didn't wait for the bookies to add the other two. Did anyone catch it?

Las Vegas Aces finally covered the spread that I needed. Considering how good the Minnesota Lynx had been playing, they still manage to make a big gap against them.
Another double-double for A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray also got one because of her 10 assists. But damn, Kelsey Plum is the one who has caught fire. 40 freaking points and that's her career-high record. Super amazing.

Dallas Wings just managed a win with 1 point. Well, that's still 1.70 although it gave me the chills as I thought I will lose my bet when Lexie Hull fired that outside shot. If it went in then we are in the same boat on losing that bet.  Cheesy

I don't know what is happening with the Chicago Sky but they failed me the last time I bet for them that's why I took the bet for their opponent instead.
Atlanta Dream now has a 5 game-winning streak and it looks like they will not be stopping there with their opponent Seatle Storm as their last game before the WNBA All-Star Event.

Nope! I didn't wait for the other 2 bets to be posted and go with just the 3 bets available I was really too sleepy last night so yeah I didn't care if there are other 2 available games for today,

It was a great game with Las Vegas Aces and it is good to know that you have gotten the spread you needed, Dallas Wings was surely lucky, and the Indiana Fever surely may surprise us a bit with their performance sometimes but they never end up winning with those close games, and the Chicago Sky after their last game against the Atlanta Dream and I manage to sneak my nose in their previous game the Atlanta Dream have all the winning game against the Sky so I made my bet with the Dream,



Well here are the result of my bet for today's game,

Indiana Fever VS Dallas Wings SCORE 76 - 77 - WIN

The Dallas Wings have a great lead of 10 points in the 1st quarter but the Indiana Fever surprise them when they have gotten to tie the game in the 2nd quarter, it was a very close game indeed Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith, and Kelsey Mitchell did a great job with the spread, it was Natasha Howard that gotten 16 points and Arike Ogunbowale got 28 points and lead the entire Wings the win they deserve,

Minnesota Lynx VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 89 - 113 - WIN

Another dominant game for the Las Vegas Aces, just like I thought this game is going to be for the Aces but for it to be so one-sided it was really not surprising, even though the Lynx got the spread the Las Vegas Aces got a spread aswell and Kelsey Plum gives a dominant score of 40 points A'ja Wilson has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 15 points, and Chelsea Gray also got a double-double of 10 assist and 14 points, and Jackie Young got 17 points

Chicago Sky VS Atlanta Dream SCORE 77 - 88 - WIN

I really thought that the Chicago Sky will win this but they end up losing again, and Kahleah Copper got a great performance again but end up losing the game again, the Atlanta Dream really won pretty much dominantly, and Allisha Gray and Danielle Robinson both got 11 points Cheyenne Parker has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 18 points and Rhyne Howard got a massive 32 points,

The German Bundesliga isn't a tougher when compared to English Premier League and the fact that the league does go to one month break during after the first 17 games seasonally which never happens in the premier league is another factor to prove that it is not as tough as the English Premier League.
So if Harry Kane's proposed deal to Bayern Munich finally works out, Kane wouldn't be going there to prove himself that he's capable of playing outside England because German league is surely less of a burden when compared to leave he's scored 20+ goals in more than six different occasions. Bayern Munich needs a world class striker like Kane to become an European heavyweight once again and Kane needs a big club like Bayern to start winning trophies before the end of his playing career

Well, you are right about that well now that both the striker machine was gone in the Bundesliga, and yeah I think there is no debate anymore with that and with Harry Kane going to Bayern Munich because he doesn't have any trophies yet maybe he just wants to have some in going in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, well I don't really know his true intention are but it is likely one of it right,

Tuchel had such a short time to find the right formation for Bayern Munich when he was first brought here. He changed formations quite many times and it isn't very healthy for a team to be honest. They still somehow managed to win the league title anyway but Dortmund played a huge role in that. Now he has enough time ahead to find and apply the right strategies for the team next season. Friendlies will be a big opportunity to test everything to find the right way.

Besides I think Mane is likely to stay at least for one more season. Tuchel has seen how great player he was while he was playing for Liverpool in the EPL. I think he would like to give him a shot in his team for at least one season.

I don't call it a big opportunity to test everything at the Friendlies, but they can surely try, well there is a lot that doesn't really don't care about the Friendlies, and players don't give their all ver playing in it, but they can surely try all different kind of play but surely every team will do it on their own risk because they will show some play to the other teams that will likely have an answer to them in their next real game or in the regular season,


Regardless of his attitude and relationship with other players, what is certain is that his career in Munich has not shined enough. Yet he is a very talented player. But on the other hand, he also needs support from other players, which is nothing new there. Bayern Munich even last season almost failed to get the Bundesliga trophy, but they finally got it at the end of the match.
Btw, besides Mane who is being predicted in Munich, Harry Kane is also still being rumored regarding Munich. If successful, this will be a pretty satisfying done deal.

People make mistakes and I think let's just hear it from both parties on who really is at fault because I think there is someone that lit the fire 1st, but again I don't really want to judge anyone because of this but Mane has already put his statement that he is willing to forget about it all and start over which is Leroy Sane might don't want to because he is the one that got hurt, but Mane, but I really wish they can resolves this peacefully,

While the Harry Kane deal is still on the horizon and there are still no given details about it, I sure hope that these deal will come through if they could get one of the top Striker in the EPL then it is a dine deal for the Bayern Munich going to the champion,

Actually, I was amazed from start to finish of the event and I was on the edge of my seat thinking if I could get great winnings this time well it is pretty much not bad, just OK, well I should say the Whittaker was a true upset just like what I have said Du Plessis was really going to their plan a good listener to his corner that is why he wins the fight, the Moreno VS Pantoja fight was a controversial I really don't like what happened with the result, and Lawler put a spectacular last fight of his career, and it was epic, I got to admit I was wrong about Robbie Lawler,

Whittaker lost his opportunity to get a 3rd fight against Izzy. Its never expected that Dricus Du Plessis would win the fight but he did and even took down and pounded Whittaker. Can't say he will not get the next big shot later. But it was said how exposed Whittaker was after Cannonier southpaw stance.

I also thought Yair could make it against Volkanovski. Volkaanovski is just too much for him, you can see how he is overpowered TD is not enough. Overall UFC 290, has lots of good fights with great ends. Congrats to Lawler!

Not gonna lie I bet for Robert Whittaker and he failed me miserably, I got to admit I have gotten so many losses now in the UFC than in the WNBA, but surely even though Whittaker could have won this fight he will get banged up again by Izzy so it is better to be now than to be banged by the champion, and I think another fight maybe a retirement fight for Robert Whittaker just like the Robbie Lawler fight when the UFC will set up another fight for him and a highlight on his last fight aswell, and yes Israel Adesanya VS Dricus Du Plessis is next,



Anyway here are the result of my picks for the UFC 290

Alexander Volkanovski VS Yair Rodriguez ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

Alexander Volkanovski has managed to stop Yair Rodriguez's kicks by switching his stance, it was crazy with simple switching Rodriguez now has a hard time making his kicks, which was in the 1st round, and Volkhave gave Rodriguez a hard time with his striking, but on the 3rd round those kicks really were getting the Volk a hard time in defending those he was always getting caught by it until that right hook landed because, on the 3rd round, Volkanovski is actually memorizing Rodriguez rhythm and combination and that was the time that right hook landed then it became a takedown the strength of Volkanovski then those ground and pound to finish the Mexican fighter on his tracks,

Brandon Moreno VS Alexandre Pantoja ROUND 5 DECISION - LOST

I was really surprised I really thought that Brandon Moreno have won the fight, it was really a close match but Alexandre Pantoja really is a hard-to-beat fighter for sure and we can surely see it in these two fighters' past fights Brandon Moreno really is having a hard time with Pantoja, but in this fight, it was really a close match that we can not see who really won the fight, but it was a very controversial fight that is what I got to say but for me, Brandon Moreno should have won,

Robert Whittaker VS Dricus Du Plessis ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

Now in this fight, I really never expected Robert Whittaker to be defeated like this and Dricus Du Plessis really did his research very well against Whittaker and because of Dricus Du Plessis's power on his strikes it is easy for him to knockout Whittaker surely this is a great performance from Du Plessis was really great and the thing is his next opponent is Israel Adesanya this is going to be great a new fight for Izzy is going to be phenomenal,

I have prepared some money for Geraldo Neto to win this fight and hopefully he can be a lucky fighter because it's been a while since I've had a win in MMA betting.
Geraldo Neto has also prepared everything, I read several British broadcasts about him and sure enough Geraldo Neto is really sure of the victory he can get.

For Europe 2 I'm not interested in that because I don't really follow the development of the fight there.
Maybe you can watch and bet on almost all championships because I admit your experience and insight in many types of sports industry is very good.

Good luck buddy.

LFA 162 has taken a different turn when the Main Event was canceled and so Rose Conceição VS Elaine Lopes become its Main Event fans were upset about, it but nothing they can do about it, and Geraldo Neto is the favorite to win the fight but suddenly it was canceled and all of the people want to see a spectacle match was frustrated about it anyway here are the results of the event

Rose Conceição Defeated Elaine Lopes - Decision
Márcio Barbosa Defeated Wellington Prado - KO/TKO
Jefferson Nascimento Defeated Italo Gomes - Decision
Alisson Murilo Defeated Bruno Suema - Decision
Estefani Almeida Defeated Daniela Antonelli - Decision
Miguel Porto Defeated Rafael Tobias - KO/TKO
André Lima Defeated Igor Taylon - KO/TKO
Gabriel Costa Defeated Thiago Ivan - KO/TKO
Michael Oliveira Defeated Francisco Ataliba - KO/TKO
Renildo Monteiro Defeated Cassio Arduini - Decision
Guilherme Uriel Defeated Abner Rodrigues - Submission
Lany Silva  Defeated Nawira Ferreira - Decision
Gabriela Fujimoto Defeated Rafaela Silva - Submission

Incredible results half has gone the distance but the other half was a great fight finish of KO/TKO and Submission wins, it was a great event indeed, and because the Geraldo Neto vs. Vanilto Antunes was Cancelled I was really into Fighting Kittens and Gabriela Fujimoto did a great job in winning her fight with Submission Armbar,

If you had the same bets then we all have the same bets aswell, creepy!

Anyway here are the result of my picks for the UFC 290

Alexander Volkanovski VS Yair Rodriguez ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

Alexander Volkanovski has managed to stop Yair Rodriguez's kicks by switching his stance, it was crazy with simple switching Rodriguez now has a hard time making his kicks, which was in the 1st round, and Volkhave gave Rodriguez a hard time with his striking, but on the 3rd round those kicks really were getting the Volk a hard time in defending those he was always getting caught by it until that right hook landed because, on the 3rd round, Volkanovski is actually memorizing Rodriguez rhythm and combination and that was the time that right hook landed then it became a takedown the strength of Volkanovski then those ground and pound to finish the Mexican fighter on his tracks,

Crap, crap, crap.
Lost all three bets.
I was rooting for Yair Rodriguez to knock out Volk but what happened is the other way around.  Grin

Here are the results of the UFC 290.
Alexander Volkanovski versus Yair Rodriguez - Volkanovski won thru TKO/KO
Brandon Moreno versus Alexandre Pantoja - Pantoja won by decision.
Robert Whittaker versus Dricus Du Plessis - Whittaker won by KO/TKO in Round 2.

I hate losing but damn that's some powerful performance from Volk. The strategy was simple, put down Yair and let the fight be taken on the mat with Volk above him. It's a very simple plan and yet a hard task on how he could prevent Yair from standing again. He definitely dominated Yair there.
Obviously, there's still a lot of room for improvement for Yair, especially on those takedown defenses and how he could defend himself once someone is above him.
It's a loss but so entertaining. Congratulations to those who bet for Volk.

Damn! there are a lot of underdog wins in this card by not the main card Pantoja and Du Plessis, upset but there are also clear and unclear unset in this fight the Brandon Moreno VS Alexandre Pantoja is an unclear upset because the fight was super close and I can not really determine who's really win I need to see the fight again actually, and a true unset was the Dricus Du Plessis VS Robert Whittaker fight was a true upset, Dricus Du Plessis really is studying Whittaker and getting ready on whatever Whittaker could throw at him,

I missed the game today but it's okay because we only have just one game. Sadly, it is my idol Stewy playing and I forgot to watch it until the results popped out of my notifications.  Cheesy
Just watching the highlights instead. Breanna Stewart made 25 points and Sabrina Ionescu made 20 points. Did you guys see how much the spread was? I bet it's -5 to -8 so I may have been lucky that I missed that game because I am pretty sure I will be betting for New York Liberty with a handicap included.

Tomorrow, lots of games are listed. 5 games to be exact.
But @owengtam09 is right. There are only 3 games listed at Stake.com right now. I think they will add the other two later on.

Oh, and we also getting near the WNBA All-Star event. This will be fun.
Here are the starters of the All-Star game from Team Wilson and Team Stewart.

Team Wilson
A'ja Wilson - Las Vegas Aces
Chelsea Gray - Las Vegas Aces
Jackie Young - Las Vegas Aces
Aliyah Boston - Indiana Fever
Arike Ogunbowale - Dallas Wings

Team Stewart
Breanna Stewart - New York Liberty
Brittney Griner -  Phoenix Mercury
Jewell Loyd - Seattle Storm
Satou Sabally - Dallas Wings
Nneka Ogwumike - Los Angeles Sparks


Yup! I look at the Stake again they still have 3 games maybe later they will have the 2 games that aren't on the bookies, well, it was an early all-star for the WNBA thanks for sharing it here in the thread, it is surely a lot of help,



Now my picks and bet for tomorrow's game

Indiana Fever VS Dallas Wings

The stake odds for this game are 2.02 for the Fever and 1.71 for the Wings, right now the Indiana Fever doesn't have any injuries while Lopez Senechal, and Diamond DeShields, both can not play for the Dallas Wings Kalani Brown is questionable if she is able to play for the Dallas Wings, for this game because even though there is no injuries for the Fever the Dallas Wings has showcased tremendous determination and have won against the greatest obstacle the Las Vegas Aces so my pick is the Dallas Wings aswell,

Minnesota Lynx VS Las Vegas Aces

The stake odds for this game are 6.80 for the Lynx and 1.07 for the Aces, right now Natalie Achonwa, Aerial Powers, Jessica Shepard, and Tiffany Mitchell and they can not play for the Minnesota Lynx while Riquna Williams can not play for the Aces, for this game, we all know how dominant the Las Vegas Aces could be, and with this game, I think they will crush their opponent now that they don't have any key player injuries so my pick for this game is the Las Vegas Aces,

Chicago Sky VS Atlanta Dream

The stake odds for this game are 1.77 for the Sky and 1.94 for the Dream, right now Ruthy Hebard, Isabelle Harrison, and Rebekah Gardner and all can not play for the Chicago Sky, while Iliana Rupert, and Aari McDonald, and both can not play for the Atlanta Dream, for this game the Chicago Sky have failed my expectations and I have many lost over them when I bet for them, so this time I think I will go with the Atlanta Dream,
