I think that's already a given fact this season, we are just waiting if they are going to make a move and trade some of their players, but so far they seems to satisfied as how they are doing, although for the fans, it's another worst season for them and the only bright light is Lebron breaking the record of another Laker great, Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

I do agree, they are borderline team and maybe they could be out of the playoffs again with this kind of lineup.

Or if they make it, probably gets eliminated by the top team in the West, like the Nuggets and Memphis team in the first round.

I think the issues of Tank is not going to affect him in this fight as it has been settled already and it's too late to affect hi as the fight is going to happen as plan this Saturday night.

I'm not really sure what Hector Garcia means by being the smarter fighter, Davis has a good boxing IQ, and I think his opponents are underestimating this as they believed that he is only known to have punching power. But to be able to knockout an opponent, you need to think of strategy, like feints and movement and proper placing of the feet to be able to see how they will react. And I think Davis has this in his arsenal and that's why he was able to set up his knockout punch perfectly. And so if there is someone who is smarter here, it will be Tank Davis for me.

That happened due to a lack of defense, I thought that the Clippers will play better and they could upset the home team because Leonard will be available. It's just unfortunate we are not seeing a very entertaining game.

The Clippers are awful, they only shoot 14% from beyond the arc compared to the 39% of the Nuggets.

I thought this team will not give up, but maybe they already believe that they cannot come back anymore that's why they didn't try in the 2nd half.

Winning the world cup is once in a lifetime opportunity. Messi was fortunate enough to have his name inscribed in world cup trophy. This was his last chance and he managed to win the world cup. At the same time, this was the last world cup (probably) for Cristiano Ronaldo as well. Unlike Messi, he had a rather forgettable tournament where he was continuously humiliated by his own team. Qatar 2022 was probably the last major tournament for these players as well - Pepe, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva and Danny Vukovic. The oldest player was Alfredo Talavera (only player who was aged 40 or more).   

Not be easy for Haney to just move up in weight and forget about Loma or make it easy for Loma to take all the belts because that's what his goal is at 135 lbs. Loma is known as hi-tech so that says its, he is on a different level as setting up his power punches, the angle and the intangibles in the fight. So we shouldn't discount him just because of his last poor showing against a big and young fighter in Ortiz.

Like you, most people picked sports, and I understand that but is it just me that plays casino games while waiting for the games? I mean if you gamble on sports, that is like usually at night for me, or like after dinner at least, and until then? What do you do, just wait it out?

I can't wait for their promotional speech in their upcoming fights and it would be even more worth watching this time. I think they both hate each other and find themselves to be the best rivalry that needs to clash in the ring to prove to everyone who is the best boxer in the weight division. This time Garcia can truly prove to the world that he is not only strong against small fishes and he can also take down big fish with his left hook too. Davis should not let other's critics of Garcia make him at ease because they both need to do as much training as they can because this time they are both at the advantage.

I also don't suspect that he has taking any enhancing drugs for that matter. We have seen him scoring even when he was still in Utah, maybe he just woke up on the right side of the bed and just decided to take over that game and win it for them.

And now it's Giannis turn to have a 50 point game performance, Klay had one as well. And so as we have discussed, this season is going to be a special one with this kind of scoring and specially if Lebron will break Jabbar's record it will be the ultimate scoring record.

This bet will probably go through because even if you gave a -5 handicap to the home team, they will still win the game and that's almost guaranteed because they are now leading the game with a 30+ points. Quite surprised by the game actually because I was expecting the opposite thing where the Celtics leads the game and not the other way around.

However if Tank begins to pressure Ryan, it might also give Ryan some opportunities for a step back before left hook. How is Tank Davis' jaw because it might be also be his test. There are already many people who speculate that Ryan has a glass jaw, but how is Tank's jaw?

According to this article Ryan wants Tank to knock out Hector Garcia out cold hehe. Is Ryan pressuring Tank?



“I want Tank to knock [Hector Luis Garcia] out cold. It will make out fight even bigger,” said Ryan Garcia via ESPN

Looking at the last fight of Loma, I think he is not in his prime anymore. The early 30s to mid-30s are the most common for most boxers to lose their primes. I believe Haney will be the stronger and faster guy and he will win against this version of Loma. As a huge fan of Loma since the start of his pro career, I hate to see him lose. Maybe Haney cannot make the weight and just move up. Cheesy

Happy new year people!

I'm curious as to what the ratio is for users on this forum in terms of sports vs casino betting.

I personally bet on sports 95% of the time because you can actually make money on it.

Slots and other casino games are a waste of time in my opinion.

I can't understand why people would waste their crypto on casinos where the odds and algorithms are stacked against you.

I am planning to put 3-6 BTC on Novak Djokovic to win the 2023 Australian Open.

I just need to find a trustworthy sportsbook who will not only accept the bet but pay me too.

I've heard and read too many horror stories.

Perfect bet. Congratulations.

The Cavs game was wild with Mitchell extra hot. But the Warriors' game was way wilder as Klay Thompson ignites his inner splash brother in a double overtime game against the Hawks. 
I bet that will silence all the critics that had been throwing bad words at him.

I still think Steve Nash is a good coach, maybe the Nets is not for him with veterans all over their roster. If given one more chance to lead a young team he will surely learn more on how to keep everything under control and maybe that will also add to his experience on how to manage them.
KD and Kyrie, two stars, veterans in the league, they want a respected coach or someone who will just stay silent if they both want the game to be in their shoulders when it's needed.
No play required, just give them the ball.

Warriors, which is -3 at home against the Hawks.

And the Cavaliers hosting the bulls with -4 spread. Will the bulls upset the home team to avenge their loss?

This is always a thing we all advise ourselves or new traders to lookout for, but one thing funny is that a team that will be scam or that will not stand by their word which at the beginning was fair, friendly and attractive at site, having achieved it's aim, ends up abandoning the project and moves with the money.
The team working on the project can't be tagged as scammers or geniue and that is why investors have this issue when it comes to investment. Making your research, you'll definitely get everything that will make a project look very good, but the heart intent of the team can't be exposed or seen on the forefront.

Of recent, I've come across alot of people talking about traders chasing their losses which at the end, leads to possible blowing of accounts.
I understand that people trade with expections and most times when this expectations aren't met, they try as much as possible to chase after their losses and my questions are
~ what is your take on revenge trading?
~ Do you think people intentionally go into revenge trading or is is just emotional?
~ what will you advise someone making series of losses ?

...

The above shameful scam has completely negative impact on the Bitcoin market in 2022.  We all hope that such incidents do not happen in cryptocurrencies in the coming years.

I will answer from the psychological point of view. For the sake of your mental health, never trade or invest in bitcoin with borrowed funds or worst still any money you know that you cannot afford to lose. This cannot be over stressed or over emphasized enough. When your creditors starts calling and the money haven't 2x or 10x for you to give them back their capital, you will experience all the negative emotions in the world that can put you in a bad place mentally. Please do not do it.

$300M for real? With a match against a professional athlete for other combat sports. That's totally a lot of money and contract for him. That's a big payday for him and he's certainly fits to the alias that he's got, Money.
I agree that Floyd in terms of his wealth, he knows how to handle it. People may see him boasting all about it but that's not the point, he's worked hard for it wherever and whatever his financial situation right now.
