721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fury v Chisora 3 3rd of December on: December 04, 2022, 04:32:49 PM
So many did not watch the fight and let me tell you that it was a truly one sided fight and Fury could have finish the guy in 2nd round without any hesitation but for the fans and a little bit of entertainment they kept going. However, even if Fury fights Usyk next , I don't see Usyk standing any chance against him but that fight will most likely not happen very soon or at all.
I am yet to watch the fight, as i was watching the World Cup then went to bed and then watched the UFC event. It was not a challenging fight for Tyson Fury and the odds were not that great either. The only interesting fight right now is Oleksandr Usyk and i expect that is not going to be an easy fight as Usyk is a southpaw but he can switch when needed to orthodox and is really quick in his feet and for these reasons i want to see this fight rather than any other fight.

Rohit Sharma managed to score some runs but Virat Kohli and Shekhar Dhawan were completely failed. Let's see how far the rest can go. India needs a big partnership right now ‍and there is no alternative it.
The catch Litton Das took to dismiss Virat Kohli is incredible, the pitch looks really slow and the ball is gripping a lot and the batsman needs to settle before playing their shots and Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul is in the crease and they need to spend some time and hopefully build a partnership because there is not many established batsman after this pair.

Chris Cyborg does not look pretty also. She is also that “man like” woman, like Garcia and Pacheco. And guess what, she is from Brazil also. Perhaps this is all about DNA. Cybors was in UFC, did not get cought by usada. Which makes me believe that all those girls are more or less clear  Grin
Dana White used to ridicule Cris Cyborg before joining the UFC as Wanderlei Silva in a dress which i think was ridiculous but she got popped for stanozolol before joining the UFC but Gabi Garcia looks different and god knows what she is taking as she is not tested like Cyborg used to. Wished she had a large pool of talents in her weight division to see any competitive fights.

Is it possible that he has not been charged with a criminal offense yet? With all these cases of wasting clients' money, bankrupting the organization, I thought he would be imprisoned, or at least he would be banned from traveling, or he would try to hide from public appearances.
When you have parents who has connections at the top, you might get away with things like this. His mother Barbara Fried has connection to the democratic party and having fundraising organization that caters to the party and his dad Joseph Bankman who had connection with top executives where he was able to source funds easily for his son and his political connection and when you have those combinations none of the media will not chastise him and might get away with frauds like these Wink.

Serbia and Switzerland match is heating up, the team members were revolting for a penalty and all the bench players came into the ground and they got a yellow card for that. Serbia needs to compose themselves if they want to score an equalizer rather than revolting and delaying the flow of the match.

Cameroon and Brazil are still goalless but the intensity is really high and i want to see Brazil scoring a goal and full credits to both the goalies as we saw some incredible saves tonight.

Edit: Damn Cameroon defeated Brazil and became the first African country to defeat them  Shocked.

Holland has the chance to make a statement here, and put a legend on his record. I don't know what others might think, but I consider Stephen a legend at this point. Probably one of the most unique fighting styles in the UFC, mainly due to his karate background. They're quite rare, and even when there are fighters with that sort of background they tend to ditch the karate stance.
There was a brother code established when Kevin Holland and Stephen Thompson sit down for an interview and you can watch them in the official youtube channel by the UFC and it is basically a classic Karate Vs Kung Fu match up. Kevin Holland is a second degree black belt and Stephen Thompson is a really establish striker who has a fifth degree black belt and with an undefeated record in his kick boxing days and he is a legend in that aspect.

I side more towards Stephen Thompson because of his striking pedigree and expecting a great fight between the two.

Pakistan scored 181 runs in 51 overs by batting today. Pakistan has not lost any wicket so far. But I am waiting to see how Pakistan will play tomorrow. Now the thing to watch is if England can perform well in bowling then Pakistan will not be able to score so many runs in this match.
It is not about the bowling of either England or Pakistan, the pitch is a flat dead wicket and there is no purchase for the bowlers and hence England batsman were able to score freely and made huge runs including two double centuries and now it is the Pakistan batsman's turn to pile in the runs and if they play carefully the match will end up in a draw and some of the batsman will be improving their career averages  Cheesy.

Japan are really pressing well and that is what gave them the first goal. Poor goalkeeping from Unai Simon. Another goal came in now in quick succession but that sure looked out of play. There will be lot of controversy on the second goal. Japan pulling quite some surprise in group stage huh..

Edit: Now Costa Rica equalised with Germany. Roll Eyes
Looks like another surprise in store, Japan just stunned me after the first half by scoring two quick goals as i have no idea what Japan took during the break as Spain was completely dominating the match in the first half  Cheesy. I am watching the Spain Japan match and will watch the Germany match later as i am not having great expectation after their loss against Japan earlier in the tournament.

Edit: Damn, Japan won the match against Spain.

Opensea is one of the pioneers in NFT marketplace started last 2017 where most projects are busy in so many scam ICOs but opensea creators started very early supporting this unique arts stored in blockchain no one knows its the next trend after ICO and Defi, unfortunately some NFT projects turns out to be a money making machine for other people, imagine selling an image worth nothing putting in a blockchain and worth millions lol,
It is true some of the NFT projects made a lot of money and some were able to sell them for really high valuation, but have you checked the state of the NFT market right now. I bet anyone who spent money during the rally for the NFT will be baffled with the way things have ended up. Check out the NFT trading volume as well in Open Sea, it has plummeted as well and they had to lay off their employees like any other cryptocurrency project.

England is playing test like T20 and ODI match either its because of Pakistan balling or their batsman but this is clear they ll give a target of 500+ . On their first day they have made 376 runs in 60 overs their run rate is 6+ and only 3 wickets gone and take by zahid mahmood and haris Rauf.
Zak Crawley made 122 runs and Ben Duckett made 107 runs.
May be the pitch is flat and there is nothing the Pakistan bowlers could do, everyone scored a century except Joe Root. These type of flat wickets will not attract fans to Test cricket. Need some competitive aspect to the match and if not it will end up in a draw unless the Pakistan batsman messes up.


Even Australia set a huge total with Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith scoring double centuries and Travis Head missing on his century by a run. Flat batting pitches everywhere as West Indies also had a great start without loosing any wickets.

Of course, Conor McGregor trained really hard. But Connor McGregor always cared about his social status, showing off to other people, how many cars he has, etc.
There is a positive side to the Conor McGregor fiasco, he took the sport to a different level because there are more people watching these fights which means more money to the fighters, before that no one earned a million dollars per fight in the UFC, but now all the top level stars are earning a million dollars per fight and it is all because Conor McGregor took it to the next level.


But Khabib Nurmagomedov did not have anything like that in his mind. He didn’t run after the money, he didn’t run after no girls. Training was how most of the time in his life was spent. And it is hard to beat a guy like that.
No doubt about his dedication and the skill level and when it comes to the ground game he is way ahead of everyone else, now everyone is doing the Dagestani handcuff to control the opponents but to reach to his level it takes a lot of time.

Even if we see another Khabib vs Conor fight, I think that might be one-sided again. Because Connor McGregor is obviously not in his prime anymore. But I am quite confident that even though Khabib Nurmagomedov is retired, and put on quite a lot of weight, he will still be able to get to the one-forty-five-pound mark and beat Conor.
They fight at 155 pounds and how many times anyone think about facing Khabib, no one is going to defeat him as that was his level of dominance. The only challenge i would love to see was if he was moving up in weight class

 But tell me how did France lose to Tunisia? Although France finished this group stage in first place, but if they continue to play so uncertainly, then they do not have much chance to achieve great results. So this can be said not only about the teams that took second place.
Once again it is the VAR magic, if it was any other world cup without the VAR, many of the goals that were disallowed would be goals. The Griezmann shot inside the goal post during the injury time, no one expected that the replay would show anything differently but it was also adjudged an offside Embarrassed.
Teams needs to adjust their gameplay pretty fast if not majority will be offside with these kind of scrutiny.

India is in pretty bad situation at the moment. I now doubt they will be able to give a decent target of 200+. The match has been completed dominated by the Kiwis bowlers. Not much batting left for India now. Tail enders need to form a partnership if India needs to set up a decent target for the NZ batters
Washington Sundar is doing the lone battle for India, the rest of the batsman were struggling and surprised that Suryakumar Yadav is struggling to find form in ODI while he was stealing the show in T20. Another opportunity for Rishabh Pant to score some runs and the wait continues, he is clearly struggling and he needs some rest and give opportunity to another player waiting in the bench .

Conor McGregor introduced the UFC to a lot of people. But Khabib Nurmagomedov was the one to become a legend and make people understand what hard work is.
Every fighter who fights at an elite level has to sacrifice and undergo immense training and hard work to be on that level, if not you will see your face planted in the mat in front of the world to see  Cheesy. The skill level of Khabib is on a different level and all credits to his father and coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov because he created 18 champions in different discipline and a bunch of youngsters coming through in the world stage in the coming years.

Russian athletes participate in UFC right now with a small remark - I think they are not allowed (or at least asked) not to bring Russian flags during ring walk and decision announcement. Remember how they always put flags on their shoulders or back? Havent seen flags for a while. Maybe there are more politics involved in other MMA promotions, but, as UFC are a lot about money, they will never lose a chance to earn. UFC rooster is full of Russian fighters, Russian UFC fan base is huge. UFC will never turn back against such a sweet peace of pie.
You do not need to mix sports, politics and agenda together. There is no flags allowed in the UFC and it is their policy now. The best fighters get a contract with the UFC and if that turns out to be Russians, what is there is to do. UFC was loosing money when it started and for years even when Dana was the president and now they are making money, so is it a bad thing or a good thing.

I love to watch elite level fighting and UFC provides them, there was a time when Pride FC and Strike Force were better but they had to shut their doors because they are not making profit. Glad that Dana White was able to create a sports and make fans interested in it so that they will not shut down like the others.

^  Wait...  There's a fine if a Russian flag is displayed by the fighter?  I know Russian flags were disallowed in F1 but I didn't notice it was also the same in the UFC or even football.
No flags of any country will be carried by any fighter and that is the new policy by the UFC, if any fighters violate them, there wont be any fine but probably released from the UFC and that is how Dana White usually conducts business, his way or the highway  Cheesy.

The whole world is trying to prove that Qatar is not a good host for the foot ball world cup = yesterday I was watching a video and fox news journalist said that I didn't like special gate for women .. but in muslim culture - woman don't search men and men don't touch woman so they are not ready to respect the culture of Qatar.
It is not just a Muslim culture, basically in Asia there are special gates for men and woman and it is nothing special. Yes i saw the news regarding a journalist trying to stir things up as if it is something unusual, when you go to a mall women are going through a security check where women are the security person and even in airports, it is the same.

~
Those nations that you mentioned, we haven't heard anything though. But for the Qatari's they made a lot of noises in world cup not this one and has been discussed several pages back (like migrant workers dying and others).
Majority of the construction work in GCC countries are done by people from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other surrounding countries and you will not see an Arab working in a construction site other than a supervisory role because they are bloody oil rich. The numbers regarding the death the western media is projecting is bullshit.

This is a little worrying for them because indeed with so many star players in their squad this is clearly unimaginable before.
The comparison is very different because indeed in terms of individual quality they are really great but in terms of teamwork this is not as imagined.
They made a lot of mistakes in teamwork and of course their midfield and defense weren't good enough especially when counter-attacked.
May be having too many star players in their ranks is the problem. Played terrible, lost my money placing a bet on them as i did not expect Morocco to score a goal let alone two goals and there is no way they are moving to the next round with this kind of performance.

Spain and Germany match going on and i am expecting Spain to win the match and end the misery for Germany in this World Cup  Cheesy.

I will support Elon Musk if he creates a stablecoin for Twitter and also pays users for free, If Elon Musk pays $1 million per user per day, it would make the world rich quickly, Moreover, it will also provide liquidity to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
First and foremost Elon Musk dislikes people who are entitled. So if you think that you are entitled to get a million dollars for free, good luck with that.  Tongue. Elon is smart enough not to create something stupid like a fancy stable currency, which stable currency is transparent enough to show their entire audit report .

I didn't support Mark Zuckerberg because he wanted to become the richest person in the world by creating more assets as a stablecoin and because Mark Zuckerberg wasn't even interested in Bitcoin, I refused to give approval to the US and European governments either. If Mark Zuckerberg had created a stablecoin, it would hardly have benefited users.
Good that you are not in any regulatory board either  Tongue.

I also thought that Sri Lanka will win today's match and tie the series. But the match is getting delayed due to rain. Sri Lanka collected 10 runs without losing any wicket in 2.4 overs. There is no guarantee when the match will resume. Sri Lanka were defeated in the last match due to the stupidity of their batsmen. Sri Lanka would have won the last match if the batsmen could have batted responsibly. The target is not big in today's match. If the Sri Lankan batsmen bat responsibly and stay at the crease then Sri Lanka will win this match.
It should be an easy match for Sri Lanka to win and level the series if the rain would stay away for a few hours but unfortunately the report is not great as it is raining heavily and it is possible that the match would be abandoned just like the New Zealand India ODI. If they abandoned the match then Afghanistan will level the series or most probably win the series as there is only one match left in this series and it will be an historic win for them  Grin.

I think it sucks for Teixeira as he lost his opportuntiy to go at it another time.  I'm not sure why the UFC decided to drop him from the chance to get an interim belt.  Why not have him fight either Ankalaev or Blachowicz...  As for Ankalaev vs Blachowicz, remember we  were talking about the site that had outrights betting on the UFC with a line for Ankalaev to become champ before December 31, 2022 at 10.00 or was it 5.00..?  I can't remember but it looks like that ticket is about to win if somebody bet on it.  Smiley
Yes it does suck for Glover Teixeira as the UFC wanted a main event for their Dec 11th main event and Glover Teixeira was willing to take on Jan Błachowicz for the main event but the UFC was adamant that they wanted him to face Magomed Ankalaev which Glover rejected at a short notice and then he suggested to move the fight card to Jan card and even then the UFC was not willing.  

It is a smart move by Glover Teixeira to not rush because age is not in his side and this will be his last chance to get another title shot and i am expecting Magomed Ankalaev to win the title and then Glover Teixeira will be the next in line for the title opportunity.

Ordinary people like you and me do not have access to detailed information that no one knows except for the big investors who have access to the financial statements and have a team of accountants who can know all the things and achieve a comprehensive and detailed investigation.
Binance does release their financial statements every year and even the big investors will be having those information and nothing special unless there is an audit from a third party which any of these crypto companies are willing to undergo.

If a recession occurs and the monetary tightening crisis intensifies, we will see more complacency from more platforms that go bankrupt, and therefore all options are open.
As long as Binance is getting the profits they are claiming they are getting according to their statements they are safe. They even implemented Merkle Tree proof of reserves to be transparent which is a good initiative.
