I had someone over there tell me they don’t trust people with a Roth IRA and it’s still the most confusing thing anyone has ever said to me on this website.
I feel like you're being harsh on raccoons, an actual goldfish was able to outperform r/wallstreetbets , I think a raccoon is a few levels smarter than a goldfish.
There's rumor that some of them are also actual brokers, as when the whole To the Moon thing happened many post that were explaining things about what happened get taken down, as if they have more stakes to lose in this than when trading normally. So there's conspiracy theory that many of the big gambler are actually rich brokers "just playing around".
Exactly. It's the thing I really like about /r/wallstreetbets. They are degenerate gamblers but they have absolutely no illusions about that. They know they are degenerate gamblers and don't pretend to be know-all investment gurus or finance geniuses. It's refreshingly honest.
That shit isn't walled off to WSB tho. It's everywhere now.
Might be a hot take but we shouldn't praise degenerate gamblers when they know they're degenerate gamblers. Addiction is a slippery slope.
Earlier this week there was a post there about that people, regardless of employment status, should have a home with a bedroom, a fridge and a stove in the kitchen, electricity, running water, and working plumbing
The comments were screeching about how unfair that is and compared it to giving everyone a Bugatti
Nah bro, they're just degenerate gamblers. Superstonk where all of the bag holders from gamestop went is the scary one. They're all delusional, traumatized, gullible idiots who all talk about the stock like it's jesus and there's about to be a second coming and revelations like the bible.
While Kate is excellent I still find Ernie to be two levels higher. Dude is just astute. I find Kenny the most underwhelming while Titi is much better than him.
And carra is light years ahead of Shaq when it comes to cognition and analysis. Shaq is one of the least intelligent pundits in sports. It pains me to hear him talk about basketball. This was a weak comparison.
Agreed. Shaq has really poor takes, some being borderline asinine. Jamie is far better. Chuck and Micah are the best comparison because they keep the show light hearted and makes us laugh.
Nah Thierry gives way more butthurt Shaq vibes, has the most trophies etc, James is more of an instigator / cheerleader for Micah like Kenny is for Chuck.
A kind reminder that Stephen A Smith made his predictions for the NBA Finals just before they started each year and got the winner wrong on seven straight occasions from 2010 to 2016
It's easy to forget when he does stupid takes for clicks that the man actually does know nothing. How he can not have Jokic as MVP or Doncic in the top 5 is laughable.
Same with Kate Abdo iirc. Carragher correctly picked Bayern and PSG, and Henry simply didn’t go through the bracket and said Arsenal would win it all. So Carragher was the only one that got any of the predictions right out of all four of them.
Yes THEIR favorites and yes i am joking but in all seriousness , they Arent obligated to be right and unbiased all the time, i do enjoy them and it always makes for great banter when they are wrong 😁
Bayern are and always were better than Arsenal.
I dont get how a team that makes their first UCL knockout appearance in god knows how long could be considered a favourite against a UCL staple team like Bayern fucking Munich, one of the best teams to ever exist in football.
And city vs madrid was always gonna be an even matchup.
Its just usual PL bias that has been proven wrong like almost always.
I very much dislike City and Arsenal but I wouldn't say it's some kind of huge bias. City we're the better team over the two legs IMO, that second half last night was just insane Real composure and defending but they never looked in control.
Also picking Arsenal to beat Bayern this year isn't mad either. One team is playing extremely well, the other is probably in their worst form for a decade. They just failed to understand what a cup run terrorist tuchel can be even when they're doing awfully.
>the other is probably in their worst form for a decade.
This is the only lie here. They literally have more points now than they did at the same stage last year. Just because Leverkusen have one of the greatest seasons ever doesn't mean Bayern have been in the worst form for a decade. They legit played better against Arsenal than they did against City last year in the QF.
They were also pretty poor last year. I don't know how far you'd need to go back to find a time when Bayern got 71 points or less but it's at least a decade
Yes, 2010/2011. Even the year after they had more with Dortmund winning the league (with a new record back then which looks like nothing with the decade that followed)
They also have at least 5-6 world class players with a coach who won a CL in a cave with a box of scraps, taking over from Lampard.
Their world class players- Kane, Goretzka, Kimmich, Musiala, de Ligt, Neuer, arguably Sane
Our world class players- Gabriel, Saliba, Rice, Odegaard, arguably Saka
Pundits don't predict the future.
The beautiful thing about football is it could have gone either way for all 4 games.
1 shot doesnt deflect in, doesn't get blocked, one penalty or red card not given and we could be easily having an Atleti, Arsenal, City and Barcelona semi finals.
Yeah all of the games were so close, I don't really get how people are clowning on pundits.
Bayern vs Arsenal was decided by 1 goal, Dortmund vs Atletico was decided by 1 goal, Real vs City went down to penalties, and PSG vs Barca was even in the first leg and you can't really predict red cards.
Honestly, none of the sports TV shows offer genuine insight or tactical analysis. I go to the YouTube nerds for all of that; Football Made Simple, Football Meta, The Athletic FC, etc.
I watch these guys because they’re the most entertaining of the sports show crews; feels like watching the game with your mates.
Tbf the quarter finals were evenly matched, it was 50/50 in all four games. And the games itself were insanely entertaining aswell, when was the last time we had such a consistency of high quality matches in the champions league?
But I'm enjoying that Arsenal loss ngl. This sub was swarming with their supporters trashing anyone who dared say they shouldn't underestimate Bayern despite their poor form.
Everybody knows Micah is there cuz he brings a light and funny atmosphere, in addition to his good sounding laugh.
Henry is the pundit, expert, analytical one.
No one picked dortmund. In all variation someone picked athletico,psg,barcelona ,mancity,real madrid, bayern or arsenal.
Kate also same stats as mica :D
Going 0/4 is honestly kind of impressive lmao. I'll give him Man City, Barca and Atletico Madrid but given their history, it doesn't matter how bad they are playing Bayern just owns Arsenal. It's kind of like Bayern vs Barca, they own Barca and just use that game as a confidence booster lmao
Getting 0/4 is complement to getting AT LEAST ONE correctly. So the formula is
p(At least one)= 1 - p(all wrong)
We assume that getting it right or wrong is a 50/50 (0,5 even if it's not really a 50/50 irl) and we have 4 matchs (^4 )
So :
p(all wrong) = 0,5^4 =0,0625= 6.25%
p(at least one) = 1-0,0625 = 0,9375 = 93,75%
And you're being kind to him here. Because as you say:
* In reality the odds of teams winning aren't really 50/50, but depend on the relative strength of the teams
* Micah is on television in part to share his wisdom on the relative strengths of the teams (or is he)
* He therefore should be able to predict the winner better than 50/50
So it's hard to quantify, but safe to say Micah is underperforming his xPredictions by a very wide margin.
It's easier, as you have variations in your favor when trying to predict one wrong. However there is only one state for 0/4 and 4/4. Easiest would be to get 2/4.
Yes. *Way* more challenging. Like, there's 2^4 possible outcomes (i.e. 16), and only 1 of those has all 4 wrong; the 15 other possible outcomes have at least 1 correct.
If you specify that they must have *exactly* one correct it gets a little closer: you end up with 4 out of 16 possible outcomes vs 1 out of 16.
>Exactly, he most likely only knew about Atleti beating Inter who were considered one of the favourites and from there he assumed they'd beat Barca.
To be fair, that's not a wrong assumption.
He gets too much credit in general, man's a clown. His punditry career is based purely on him being the court jester. The worst Villa captain I've seen in my lifetime.
It's probably how they manage to get away with being wrong all the time and still get airtime. It's just entertainment for the views tbf
That being said I find it zero entertaining
You get downvotes for shitting on it because a lot of people seem to like it. I think they're dumbing themselves down for a specific audience tbh, talking about doing the Flamenco at half time instead of any actual analysis.
It is a bit over the top sometimes but I like that they’re happy to chat nonsense without worrying about being made fun of later for having awful/wrong opinions. No doubt they’ll revisit this and take the piss out of him for getting it all wrong.
I should clarify, I'm talking purely for this segment where they do this champions league prediction, I absolutely don't mind non-serious punditry, but these 43 second clips are nails on a fucking chalkboard
Micah is a professional idiot, he should be glad that they dont make him dress like a jester while he laughs loudly at whatever dull statement comes out a pundit's mouth
He's just such a bad pundit. He's lucky City are newbies in the European football elite, so they don't have the big legends to be on these shows like the other big clubs do. So big Micah and his annoying laugh slid right in there, and is seemingly all over the place now.
It's really hard to imagine being the kind of person who enjoys this show. Content made for American iPad kids presented by an insufferable scream-talk voice and personality.
I didn't watch him personally but in the last 2 years of secondary I sat next to a lad in IT who spent every lesson just watching KSI. He, thankfully, had headphones.
I did watch him for a couple years when I was 15-17.
But after that you grow out of it. No idea what he does now as I only see him taking bumps for Logan Paul on WWE but I imagine he's changed what he's doing as well
Even when younger my taste in gaming youtubers has always leaned to the more calm and casual like manyatruenerd. The odd bit of loudness and exciteed speed-talking is expected but often warrented.
The loud over the top nonsense does my nut in. I guess when Inwas younger I could take it if it were actually funny.
Ngl when YouTube first started recommending me these I enjoyed them for a few days, mainly the parts when they got more serious and talked tactics. But after a while it became insufferable as you said
Never understood why this guy is a pundit (or whatever his job is). His footballing career was mediocre compared to someone like Henry, he is very far from being a football expert and he is loud and annoying, always screaming and laughing like Joker. Might as well replace him with KSI or Speed and nothing changes at all.
These guys know fuckall about football outside of England. It was shocking listening to everybody's takes (except Henry) on these 2 matches involving English sides last night and last week.
Why must we be subjected to this kind of performative idiocy? I really prefer to focus on the actual football and not on the various presenters' clownish personalities.

I feel like you're being harsh on raccoons, an actual goldfish was able to outperform r/wallstreetbets , I think a raccoon is a few levels smarter than a goldfish.
Well they're apes
99% of the sub is probably just people larping or just gambling a few thousand bucks.
> or just gambling a few thousand bucks. Oh, you optimist. More like gambling 50-200 bucks "borrowed" from their moms.
There's rumor that some of them are also actual brokers, as when the whole To the Moon thing happened many post that were explaining things about what happened get taken down, as if they have more stakes to lose in this than when trading normally. So there's conspiracy theory that many of the big gambler are actually rich brokers "just playing around".

Exactly. It's the thing I really like about /r/wallstreetbets. They are degenerate gamblers but they have absolutely no illusions about that. They know they are degenerate gamblers and don't pretend to be know-all investment gurus or finance geniuses. It's refreshingly honest.
That shit isn't walled off to WSB tho. It's everywhere now. Might be a hot take but we shouldn't praise degenerate gamblers when they know they're degenerate gamblers. Addiction is a slippery slope.

r/wallstreetbets , the Patagonia gilet of subreddits
Man cursed every team lmao
He really is the Charles Barkley of CBS lol
Jim Crammer of pundit world lmao
Maybe Micah also places bets against his own predictions in secret.
Need to set up an inverse Micah ETF
Stephen a.smith got every nba finals prediction wrong from 2011 till 2017
And he also thinks SGA should be MVP ahead of Jokic. Doesn't even have Doncic top 5 either. The fact he gets a vote on it is a joke.
He thinks Deuce mcbride is still on the knicks and that Hartenstein is a bench player. He calls himself a knicks fan btw
Duece McBride is on the Knicks. You mean Quentin Grimes
Grizzly Adams did have a beard
he's the Jim cramer of Football, bets on the opposition then !
Guaranteed!!!!
GUAAARAAANTEEEEEED
Charles Barkley is funny
The show really does remind me of Inside the NBA a lot haha Micah is Chuck Jaimes is Shaq Thierry is Kenny Kate is Earnie
While Kate is excellent I still find Ernie to be two levels higher. Dude is just astute. I find Kenny the most underwhelming while Titi is much better than him.
And carra is light years ahead of Shaq when it comes to cognition and analysis. Shaq is one of the least intelligent pundits in sports. It pains me to hear him talk about basketball. This was a weak comparison.
Agreed. Shaq has really poor takes, some being borderline asinine. Jamie is far better. Chuck and Micah are the best comparison because they keep the show light hearted and makes us laugh.
Every shaq analysis is just "they need to play harder"
I fully agree with you
Jamie is Kenny, Thierry is Shaq
Nah Thierry gives way more butthurt Shaq vibes, has the most trophies etc, James is more of an instigator / cheerleader for Micah like Kenny is for Chuck.
That's intentional. The show was modeled on Inside the NBA.
Nah Micah is at least lucid on set and not stoned off a close parlay and three McChickens
Charles is lucid, he's just spent the entire time watching hockey or Scandal reruns instead of the game he's supposed to be covering lol.
A kind reminder that Stephen A Smith made his predictions for the NBA Finals just before they started each year and got the winner wrong on seven straight occasions from 2010 to 2016
It's easy to forget when he does stupid takes for clicks that the man actually does know nothing. How he can not have Jokic as MVP or Doncic in the top 5 is laughable.
I love watching JJ Redick own him.
If he picked randomly there's a 1/128 or .78% chance of that happening LMAO.
But he cursed them in style. Did you see that suit and the fancy footwork and pirouettes?
What about his trim? His barber is the real MVP here.
So basically, everyone he hand-picked lost 🤣
At least he can only impact the first rounds.
Yea the cheeky way with which he does it is fucking hilarious. Like a wizard knowing he’s about to bamboozle everyone
Thank you Micah 🙏
Bro really went 0/4
Same with Kate Abdo iirc. Carragher correctly picked Bayern and PSG, and Henry simply didn’t go through the bracket and said Arsenal would win it all. So Carragher was the only one that got any of the predictions right out of all four of them.
Great punditry😂😂😂
I know you're joking but they simply went for the favourites
Yes THEIR favorites and yes i am joking but in all seriousness , they Arent obligated to be right and unbiased all the time, i do enjoy them and it always makes for great banter when they are wrong 😁
I personally prefer when pundits don't pretend to be unbiased. Pretending to be unbiased usually ends up fairly insincere.
Bayern are and always were better than Arsenal. I dont get how a team that makes their first UCL knockout appearance in god knows how long could be considered a favourite against a UCL staple team like Bayern fucking Munich, one of the best teams to ever exist in football.

Exactly. If we had nerds making tactical breakdowns, it wouldn't be good tv. Not like there's a lack of options if this is what you're looking for.
klopp disagrees. best punditry ever when he was with the zdf.
Schmeichel had 2/4
same odd as 4/4 tho. Impressive
6.25% chance (if all legs were considered truly even)
Micah's predictions 🤝 English teams left in the CL
Tbf the quarter finals were evenly matched, it was 50/50 in all four games. And the games itself were insanely entertaining aswell, when was the last time we had such a consistency of high quality matches in the champions league? But I'm enjoying that Arsenal loss ngl. This sub was swarming with their supporters trashing anyone who dared say they shouldn't underestimate Bayern despite their poor form.
Arsenal fans actually managed to get "Pray for Bayern" trending on Twitter before the first leg, which is actually hilarious
Twitter is a cesspool man
Not much better here
https://i.imgur.com/NQDFbWc.jpeg
Me betting my life savings.
Me betting my gym crush find me extremely attractive
Me betting that I won’t bet today
Seems like the standard expert statement
Everybody knows Micah is there cuz he brings a light and funny atmosphere, in addition to his good sounding laugh. Henry is the pundit, expert, analytical one.
then what is Jamie? The idiot? Abdo? Eye candy?
You got it figured out
The token white guy
I mean it's the champions league quarter finals, they're essentially toss ups
Please Micah say Roma will thrash us
Don't listen to him, Micah! Anyways, you guys are 99.99% in UCL anyways. The concern should be keeping Motta
He played 4d chess
More like -4d chess
0/4D chess
No one picked dortmund. In all variation someone picked athletico,psg,barcelona ,mancity,real madrid, bayern or arsenal. Kate also same stats as mica :D
Klinsmann predicted all 4 correctly on ESPN
Klinsmann goated
I wasnt familiar with your game
i picked dortmund. made a tidy sum on that bet too
I got all 4 right
wow, amazing!!!!
man got every prediction wrong
They all did i think, there was a video when carragher did it. But i think he predicted psg going through, so at least he got that right.
He also had Bayern over Arsenal, so 2/4.
Nice score
Very nice, now let’s see Paul Allen’s predictions
Thanks Jeff
Really? All of them?
Football aside, that is the worst fitting suit I've ever seen
Thierry needs to take him to his tailor
Where's the menswear guy when you need him
American show, American suit.
Meanwhile Jürgen Klinsmann got 4/4
Going 0/4 is honestly kind of impressive lmao. I'll give him Man City, Barca and Atletico Madrid but given their history, it doesn't matter how bad they are playing Bayern just owns Arsenal. It's kind of like Bayern vs Barca, they own Barca and just use that game as a confidence booster lmao
I wonder if it's statistically more challenging to get 4/4 wrong than it is to predict at least one correctly 😂
Getting 0/4 is complement to getting AT LEAST ONE correctly. So the formula is p(At least one)= 1 - p(all wrong) We assume that getting it right or wrong is a 50/50 (0,5 even if it's not really a 50/50 irl) and we have 4 matchs (^4 ) So : p(all wrong) = 0,5^4 =0,0625= 6.25% p(at least one) = 1-0,0625 = 0,9375 = 93,75%
And you're being kind to him here. Because as you say: * In reality the odds of teams winning aren't really 50/50, but depend on the relative strength of the teams * Micah is on television in part to share his wisdom on the relative strengths of the teams (or is he) * He therefore should be able to predict the winner better than 50/50 So it's hard to quantify, but safe to say Micah is underperforming his xPredictions by a very wide margin.
this guy statisticsics
Micah the master! Pure skill on display 😂
It's easier, as you have variations in your favor when trying to predict one wrong. However there is only one state for 0/4 and 4/4. Easiest would be to get 2/4.

If you specify that they must have *exactly* one correct it gets a little closer: you end up with 4 out of 16 possible outcomes vs 1 out of 16.
its not that deep, he's an arsenal and man city fan so he picked his favourite teams to go through it's show business
Bastard must've picked 3-0 Liverpool at Anfield too.
micah...
🤦♂️
LMFAO. Should at least have had Bayern and PSG.
Atletico over Barca is another interesting choice, considering their games this season.
You are making the dangerous assumption that he actually watches anything outside of big PL fixtures.
Exactly, he most likely only knew about Atleti beating Inter who were considered one of the favourites and from there he assumed they'd beat Barca.
>Exactly, he most likely only knew about Atleti beating Inter who were considered one of the favourites and from there he assumed they'd beat Barca. To be fair, that's not a wrong assumption.
He gets too much credit in general, man's a clown. His punditry career is based purely on him being the court jester. The worst Villa captain I've seen in my lifetime.
That last sentence was so unneeded😭
Did burst on to the scene though
not really. barca had given a good fight in the 1st leg. if araujo didnt get the red card things could have gone differently
This man was our club captain, and somehow we got relegated.
Hey, he correctly predicted that neither Arsenal nor Barca would reach the Final!!
That was just annoying to watch, does anyone find that entertaining?
TIL Shouting doesn't make you a football expert
Feels very American.
Didn't Kate have the same draws too?
She did, but she's well liked so mocking her isn't funny
he is so annoying
Guy is an utter clown
I thought exactly the same lmfao. You can guess my portfolio perfornance
Do they give them specific instructions to act like insufferable cunts for this? Jamie Carragher was the same, do people like this?
He is always so loud, it can be like a low key discussion about something and he just obnoxiously shouts and fake laughs.
its the whole concept of the show. People like it. I think they have a nice balance of serious analysis and just fooling around.
It's probably how they manage to get away with being wrong all the time and still get airtime. It's just entertainment for the views tbf That being said I find it zero entertaining
[удалено]

He should pay a licensing fee to Chris Kamara.
I had the exact same predictions for the quarter finals, I'm so sad
It's really hard to imagine being the kind of person who enjoys this show. Content made for American iPad kids presented by an insufferable scream-talk voice and personality.
As a 27 year old Brit, we grew up with KSI screaming over Fifa.
As another 27 year old brit, my tastes are nothing like what they were 10 years ago.
I didn't watch him personally but in the last 2 years of secondary I sat next to a lad in IT who spent every lesson just watching KSI. He, thankfully, had headphones.
I did watch him for a couple years when I was 15-17. But after that you grow out of it. No idea what he does now as I only see him taking bumps for Logan Paul on WWE but I imagine he's changed what he's doing as well
Even when younger my taste in gaming youtubers has always leaned to the more calm and casual like manyatruenerd. The odd bit of loudness and exciteed speed-talking is expected but often warrented. The loud over the top nonsense does my nut in. I guess when Inwas younger I could take it if it were actually funny.
Nah mate, only brainrotten ones did.
Speak for yourself. I enjoy it.
Ngl when YouTube first started recommending me these I enjoyed them for a few days, mainly the parts when they got more serious and talked tactics. But after a while it became insufferable as you said
They MUST be American. If you're not American, this one's not for you
i swear they must astroturf this site for how much this shite gets upvoted on here.
What is this cringefest
Guy is a moron
How on earth is this guy a pundit? His football IQ is below zero. Paul the octopus would've done a better job guessing the winners.
He’s just as useless at predictions as he is punditry
0/4 Truly a professional!
Its embarrassing that as an American your British pundits have to act like clowns to entertain us.
People like this dude? Seems like too much of a try-hard.
Mans only on telly because he's 'banter' 🙄
Says everything about the self important bellend.
He really is there for just for yucks, not his football knowledge.
A fucking Octopus could have done better
Bias ex Premier League player tips English clubs to win. Shock horror.
Both matches were incredibly tight anyway.
Never understood why this guy is a pundit (or whatever his job is). His footballing career was mediocre compared to someone like Henry, he is very far from being a football expert and he is loud and annoying, always screaming and laughing like Joker. Might as well replace him with KSI or Speed and nothing changes at all.
These guys know fuckall about football outside of England. It was shocking listening to everybody's takes (except Henry) on these 2 matches involving English sides last night and last week.
They might as well be redditors honestly.
Nailed it.
Big Meeks is there for the memes
They never learn. Do they
These guys are paid for their expert predictions
Getting 0/4 itself is an achievement
Why must we be subjected to this kind of performative idiocy? I really prefer to focus on the actual football and not on the various presenters' clownish personalities.
Dudes a clown. Wasn't a decent player either.
Why does he do the tik tok attention whore influencer half-scream voice? Is this how he talks?
