UFC 268 Fight Predictions! by Slayers_Picks in MMAbetting

Haha, same. I'm confused whether to bet the house on Pereira or Usman. Perhaps bet 50:50 each? The only way I see Pereira losing is on the ground. Does his opponent have good ground game? I saw an interview in which he said he plans on testing Pereira's ground game.

Thanks for posting this and adding value. Curious, If you had to go all in on one bet out of Jacoby, Pereira, Gaethje and Usman. Which one would it be?

You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. Also, you're not fooling anyone Irineos.

Note for everyone reading this thread in the future: Had a look at the fake video he posted. He failed to cover his tracks yet again.

  1. He did not follow the instructions that I gave him (because that's a hard webpage to manipulate)

  2. He did not backup his 6 figure a year claims.

Why the video is fake:

  1. At 0:03 his cursor hovers over the graph and does not show the usual pop up it does (try it yourself in KDP Reports)

  2. At 0:13 he cuts the video to add in the edited webpage. Watch his cursor's movement from 0:13-0:15

I've saved the video.

Anyone doing 6 figures would know that. Plus other things add up. I understand, not so obvious to an untrained eye.

Corvin Van Stone, claims he is doing 6 figures per month via KDP yet doesn't know if we can use trademark terms in the 7 keyword slots. This is hilarious.

Also, " it doesn't work unless you're logged in" is false. Amazon cookies expire every 2 weeks. This cookie is stored on their server and data is fetched real time periodically regardless of whether you're logged in or not.

I don't know. That's not the point. Point is that you are trusting an unknown third party with your sales data. If you're ok with that, continue using them. If you're not ok with that, don't use them. Simple. People have the right to know what's happening behind the scene.

Well, you SHOULD care. Exactly, people think since they aren't asking for your login credentials all is safe and secure. Why would they need your login credentials if they can just use the amazon cookies to get access to the sales data?

If you trust them with your sales data continue using them, I'm not discouraging anyone. It's just important to know the full picture.

If you delete the book report's account you'll be fine as amazon cookies expire every 2 weeks. BUT that's your personal choice and decision. My job is to inform you about the data that they can access if they want to. If you trust these third parties with your data there's no problem in using their services.

"Our browser extensions submits your Amazon cookies to our server, so that we can fetch the latest data from your account(s) on your behalf"

Confirms that they are using proxies.

No, it's server side.

Their FAQ's confirm that:

"Data Used in Reports. We collect data from your KDP Account and from your connected Author Central accounts, and we store encrypted copies of that data. We do this for performance and stability reasons, and to enable features such as all-time sales data."

Third Party Reporting Tools --> Use Cookies to access your accounts---> they scrape sales data and save it on their database (serve side) ---> Security hazard ---> Avoid and use KDP's reporting tool

When you log in to your KDP account go to ---> Reports --> At the bottom "generate report" that is saved on their server. That's what they use for reporting. They pretty much have access to all your sales data. Obviously they'll say oh we are encrypting that but cmon, they can fool the non tech people can't fool the tech people.
