Sturridge got suspended for 6 months for making 2 bets, Barton got 18 months for making 35 bets.

Toney could be in a lot of strife.

He didn't make any bets himself did he? Thought it was his mate wagering on him to join Sevilla.


Lucky there were never markets on Sturridge to be injured / not injured. That's something he easily could have manipulated....

People have paid huge sums for all kinds of collectables.

I was working in in the collectable cards space in the early 90s and people were dropping large sums on cards thinking they would one day be worth a fortune.

Most of those cards aren't worth much these days.

Example after example of people spending a lot of money on things that never ended up with anything.

Cards are a funny one.

I've got a mate that's made over $10k on NBA cards in the last two years. If you know what to look for, you can actually spin a decent profit on them.

As you say, most don't know the ones to buy.

Is it? Think he was always injured regardless wasn't he?

 

[Zidane98]

Is it? Think he was always injured regardless wasn't he?

True. Odds on him being injured would probably have been 1.01.


But the few times he wasn't he could let his mates know.......

 

[Zidane98]

This little pearler is all the more ironic with the Toney news coming out..

 

[Quivorir]

People haven't dropped life savings on Panini stickers though.

They certainly have. I have mates heavily into the shit.

 

[SM]

On Panini stickers??

 

[Quivorir]

On Panini stickers??

Yep.

These types of people buy anything that they think will go up in value. I've seen one mate in particular drop hundreds of thousands. They don't listen to reason. They're addicts.

Join a facebook page dedicated to the hobby and you'll see countless posts of people selling everything at a major loss because they can't afford to live.

How is that even possible? Panini stickers are limited and I'm pretty certain you could buy whatever one's your missing anyway.

I get like the NBA cards etc but I just don't see how it's possible to blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on stickers.

So in essence like anything if you do your research and make smart purchases and sales you'll do ok.

Get in early, sell at the height of interest.

He's Chief's special friend.

 

[Cruyff14]

Of course Bostonian's trigger word came up and he had to pounce.

On a lighter topic, how awesome is this ad?

Bloody sick.

I rate it.

That's the thing with NFT's though, the height of interest is well and truly gone.

Has it?

Or do you mean in your sphere you're not hearing about it anymore?

A lot of people might think the basketball card space was huge in the 90s and nobody is interested anymore.

Which as you have shown isn't the case.

Same goes for NFTs.

Not far off the Brazil 98 world cup ad this one. Pretty cool.

Must be why so many crypto firms are collapsing. All that sustained interest.

Crypto has fallen through the floor. Celebs that were launching NFT's (John Terry etc) have gone nowhere with them.

I'm happy for you to show me otherwise but everything I've seen and been told (I do have mates that invest in that space) have said they're essentially dead.

Will be interested to see how Ronaldo's goes.

I would be tearing my hair out if I won that bet thinking why I didn’t just put $10 on it lol.

See there you go again. Sounding like you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, no clue.

FTX’s Implosion Is Crushing The Solana NFT Ecosystem

The sudden collapse of FTX crashed crypto prices. NFT markets are also feeling the pain.

No really, that article doesn't support your view like you thought it did.

Once again showing you have no idea what you're talking about.

You're trying to link a failed derivatives and leverage exchange with NFTs.

See FTX's downfall has zero to do specifically with NFTs and downward price pressure was felt by most projects, not just NFTs.

The vast majority of NFTs occur within the gaming and entertainment space, not DeFi.

I remember when Tazo's came out people were paying stupid sums of money for the rarer ones.

And all Tazos came out of was packs of chips.

Speculators are everywhere, SX is full of them.
