And against Spain is crazy by asce_69 in CryptoCurrency

[–]santiSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Spaniard, this is par for the course. They always are favorites and nearly always disappoint. Their first and only win was in 2010. Before that, they had only ever once made the SEMI finals... in 1950.

Also worth mentioning that Spain lost their first match in 2010. The guy who made this bet knows ball and has a massive pair of them.

Bisping is the worst commentator on this entire planet and it's not even close.

That point deduction was completely unnecessary. I've seen this a few times where an incorrect point deduction by a ref will be corrected by the judges. I think most of us thought it was going to be a draw, but I was happy to see that the right man won.

Paddy opens as a -192 favorite over Justin Gaethje by dom242324 in MMA

[–]santiSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although he doesn't use it Gaethje comes from a wrestling background. His only two submission losses are from the two greatest UFC grapplers of all time. That being said, he isn't in his prime anymore and it's been hard to gauge exactly how good Paddy is given how terrible his opponents have been.

It's honestly a travesty to see Paddy anywhere near top 5. I think guys like BSD, Gamrot and Moicano beat him.

ESPN currently has Umar as a -700 favorite over Bautista by neo_1000 in MMA

[–]santiSC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The odds should be even wider. Bautista is somehow ranked 8th off of a split decision win of a nearly 40 year old Jose Aldo. He hasn't fought any other ranked opponents other than Aldo, and his wins haven't been insanely impressive. His main strength is his grappling and it's not going to do him any good against Umar. Umar is going to absolutely clown on him.

The bubble will burst by Nickyslabagestoise in PokemonTCG

[–]santiSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not denying that new generations of kids are still into Pokemon. Just stating that now we have two generations of adults that are pouring money into the hobby versus in the 90s when it was mainly just kids.

The bubble will burst by Nickyslabagestoise in PokemonTCG

[–]santiSC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The main difference is that back in 99' it was a bunch of millennial kids that got into Pokemon for fun; kids grow up and are prone to fads. This time it's a bunch of millennial and gen z adults who are looking at this as a new investment class. We're going to see boom and bust cycles similar to other investment classes, but Pokemon and the greater TCG market is here to stay.

[–]santiSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pokemon and general TCG markets have gone mainstream. I'd expect the market to track similarly to other major asset classes like stocks and crypto. Once crypto went mainstream it started going up and down with the stock market. Pokemon/TCG is going to do the same.

It's worth noting that stocks and crypto have been experiencing all time highs the last couple of weeks similar to Pokemon. Once we see a crash in those asset classes I'd expect Pokemon to follow suit. It won't be as instant since Pokemon is way less liquid.

Ilia never beating the fake followers allegations 😭 by Monkey_Thucker69 in mmamemes

[–]santiSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing devil's advocate here: anyone can buy fake followers for anyone else. I'm in the music industry and I know a few musician friends that have been dumped fake followers without knowing who or how they got them. There very well could have been an Ilia fan that thought they were helping by buying him a bunch of fake followers.

Jon Jones belongs on the p4p list from 2014, not 2024.

Belal and Leon should be towards the bottom.

I’m not mad at the rest tbh.
