I guess gamblers know the basic concept, but what you put is not basic though, IMHO.

And as a gambler, do you really need to go to all of this and make it complicated? I don't think so, the moment they play, they just look to win regardless of what the house edge or expected value is.

So don't blame the gamblers, here, and no matter what kind of explanation we will give to them, they will not or will ignore this concept and just play, have some fun, and take the lost.

The pressure is more on Josh Taylor though, this is a must win fight for him if he wanted to stay relevant as there are some boxing fans who says that he is no longer in his prime. So this is a big litmus test for him. For Jack Catterall, not much of a pressure but he needs to show us something that he really beat Josh in the first fight. And I have seen them need to be separated again, not sure what fight both of this boxers are watching. But the security was very quick to have them separated as they can throw a punch and going to be crazy.

So let's see if Jack can prove that he can really knock out Josh Taylor. He is now the favorite so he should live with that.

I haven't pull the trigger yet in this fight, to be honest, but most likely I will make the decision later.

I do agree, I just did 15x6, 10x1=100. Just running out of breath but I'm still fine and feeling healthy doing this challenge. As I have said previously in this thread, I'm a type 2 diabetic and so I need to do some exercise and resistance training coupled with good diet to not see a flare up or at least maintain my glucose level. And thanks to this thread, it constantly remind me of doing it like every day. I also added chin up and pull up in my daily routine as well.


You should start, no more starchy or sugary or fast foods, more veggies and proteins and try to minimize your carb intake.

And congrats to those who have accomplished it already and hopefully there are members who will do and follow this challenge. It's not that you have to make 100 in the first day, you can start slow and gradually work your way up.

Yes, it did peaked around that price and I thought that we might be looking for a new all time high. But I guess the pump was about the Bitcoin Pizza day and all of the hype surrounding that event. And now the price goes down again, to $67,000 with a -2% down in the last 24 hours.


It's more on the mindset of investors, definitely if we have a lot of our bags we wanted to see our portfolio goes up because of the huge uptick in the current price. If we wake up tomorrow then there could be some of us who are going to sell because they needed the money and all of that. Of course the end game is a huge 6 digits in the future. But you can't blame whales or even retail investors wanting to see the price goes to a new all time high in the previous days.

We only see those big winnings from this stories that we hear from the internet. But never did we hear people saying they've lost millions, unless they are recovering addicts already. So yeah, those so called influencers are not for real.


You're right, every gamblers have been in this kind of situation not once but many times and they keep on repeating the same mistakes.


From my years of experience in gambling, no, didn't change at all, I'm still that kind of gamblers wherein our decisions are impaired specially if we are losing huge money in one sitting and we wanted to recover what we have lost already. The feeling is not good and so our mind is foggy and we are all impaired to make the right decisions.

But I have seen quite few land base casinos now going to full online or at least they have the online version of it. So they are now venturing and trying to compete with the online casinos because they know that if they don't evolved and just wait for gamblers to go to their casinos, it might be too late.

I'm saying this because I have received several emails already from land base casinos that I frequented, during the pandemic they have their version but still minimal. But now base on the emails, it's now bigger and again, they are going to take some slice on that big pie, a billion dollar industry.

@Potato Chips - it could really be a sign that the Metawin has a lot of players and making a great leap with so many VIP transfer that was totally unexpected.

Same here I was wrong about the exchange for $Rocky, regardless we have to check what BingX, and I'm not surprised why they have picked it as they have been awarded as  the Best Crypto Broker/Exchange 2021, 2022 & 2023 by TradingView.

Maybe you are right, as there was a delay,

So this comes from a well know source, so I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe they are doing their due diligence to test it the right way and make sure that it is not contaminated whatsoever because their decision are going to be very important to the boxing world.

With that, we need to wait further and see if Ryan's is going to be exonerated or not as there are already a trial by publicity here and he has been labeled as a cheater by some boxers.

LOL, but he was one of my favorite tennis player when I was that active in betting in this sports. You can see way back that I back him up in the tennis thread whenever he has a game. However, I've seen him somewhat losing easy matches and then early round exits. I even try to defend him at times because I believed that he could be a top 1 player in the future.

And it seems that he can't really get over the hump and then winning championships as he melted under the pressure.

So now I stay away from him or at least haven't followed the tennis thread for years because of my disappointment with Stefanos.

I agree with that strategy, if Zhang wanted to win this fight,  then don't just rely on his power, use his jab more, as it is very effective and it's not just the usual jab by Zhang possesses one of the heaviest jab in HW. Gas tank will play a big factor here, we will see who will ran out of gas and then the other take that opportunity to score or win via a knockout.


It's a stack up cards so there's a lot of us boxing fans to look at not just this fight. Obviously the main even is Dmitri Bivol vs Malik Zinad. Although what we wanted is him against Beterbiev. But we will have to wait, Bivol just need to win this and then him and Beterbiev be rescheduled for this year hopefully.

Let me play devil's advocate here, but what if Claggett upset Teo Lopez here? We all know that upsets do happen in boxing, and them thinking that they could get away by picking a non household name to win and make Teo looks good? It might back fire on them big time.

Or another scenario is that it's a close fight, up to the judges to score the fight and fortunately they give it to Lopez. But fight fans knows that Lopez lost that fight. So that's the problem with tune-up fight though, as the opponent has nothing to lose and will give everything he got and might pull an upset.

I guess you have to take your education very seriously though, just take it from someone who almost didn't finished my college and my parents and siblings have to make a lot of sacrifices for me.

So don't look at gambling as something that will sustain you all throughout in life. As there is a saying, just work hard and study when you are young and save a lot of money. So that in the future, you can have a better life and who knows, you can still gamble and enjoy yourself.

Yes, it's very unlikely that this will be the peak this bull run cycle. Even at the end of the year, we could be looking at around $100,000. And then we have the whole of 2025 to make another all time high.

And as what history tells us, usually it will be like 2.x of the previous all time high. So at $69,000 as our last all time high, so we might be looking around $120,000++ as a starting point for what could be the peak of this bull run.

Since the Usyk vs Fury is over, and as far as HW goes, this is the next big though. Both power punchers and maybe we are going to see someone kissing the canvass in this big fight. Zhang is still the favorite in this fight and I think fight fans are leaning in him because Wilder doesn't look good in this last fight. Although Zhang lost in this last fight, he did shows resiliency. But he faces a technical boxer and although he did connect early, he wasn't able to sustain it.

There are some videos of Wilder in training or taking a run so obviously put more gas in his body in this fight.

But let's see, winner could have a good chance to be the mandatory for any of the belts that Usyk hold for now.

It is, but the OP did hype the original fight LOL which such title.

But I guess it's better now, Sonnen vs Silva. Sonnen almost got Silva in their first fight and if Sonnen could have just hold in the last minutes but he did go for broke and Silva caught him.

They are way past their prime though, and it's already 2-0 in favor of Silva, second fight is not even close. So most likely as other exhibition fights, this is all for the money. However, at least fans get to see one more time of their legendary rivalries.

LOL, I almost blew my coffee when this comment,  . But yeah, I do agree that Tank Davis is a paper champion, even his 140 lbs belt he won against Barrios was a cherry pick fight for him because he knows he can beat Barrios easily and then didn't defend it and go back to 135 lbs.

So wouldn't like an upset here? Frank Martin has the talent, he just need to avoid that power punches from Tank Davis and then be the aggressor and score more points and hope that the judges will give him the nod after 12 rounds.

@coin-investor - scores were, 115-113 Berinchyk, 116-112 Navarrete and 116-112 Berinchyk.

But I do agree that we have been overshadowed by the Usyk vs Fury mania that we forget this fight. Navarette is moving up in weight and for the WBO belt. I was shocked by the result though, I thought that Navarette will be doing good as he doesn't need to drain himself at 130 lbs.

So it's a double celebration for Ukraine, as both of their fighters won, Usyk - unified Heavyweight, and now we have Berinchyk - WBO Lightweight. And last week we have Lomachenko winning the IBF Lightweight. We now have 2 Ukrainian champion at 135 lbs.

I mean it's not only Jake that loses big money in that fight, Fury is the favorite so it's a easy bet and the odds are very attractive so I wouldn't blame Drake or anyone who put a bet on him. Unfortunately, Usyk is the better fighter that night. Others might call it a curse as obviously Drake is a high profile celebrity and putting big bet. But there could also be others who bet bigger than him in millions and also got that big L.

He can still continue with his gambling though, as he continues to stream with Stake about this favorite game, which is the roulette wheel with single 0.

The result of the B sample from Ryan will be coming out in 2 days. I can't fight the link though, but I have seen and heard him saying that he doesn't give a f**k about what the result are. And then blurted out that he will put a boxing league of his own. Not sure if he is serious or what, but that is going to be a crazy idea again coming from Garcia.

Bill Haney then responded that what Ryan wanted is to established a boxing organization that will allow the used of Peds, LOL.

We will see then, it seems that Ryan is anticipating that his B sample will also be positive.

Not sure if they can be considered billionaires though, and the main reason that they fighting? It's because of the money obviously. It was reported that Mike Tyson will received $20 million here, maybe Jake Paul even more as his company MVP is also part of this big event.

So in any case, this fight is obviously still considered a entertainment despite the rules is somewhat of boxing.

No question about Mike's legacy, but in this era of boxing, specially around 2005-2010, boxers become concern of how much money they are going to get, unlike around the 80's to early 00's, the goal is to fight the best.
