Overtraining? I don't think it's a big issue though, I guess the real problem is the weight issue because boxers know if they are undertrained or overtrained. Anyway, it's already over, this rematch, we will see how Ancajas will make the right adjustments.

Hey, that was a serious issue. That's the problem, Ancajas know that he is doing everything but still having difficulty catching the required weight in due time. He ended up overtrained as mentioned by his camp, because of that. Martinez is not an easy opponent that's why Ancajas struggle and just becomes a practice session for Martinez.

Honestly, even Ancajas is in a good shape in their first match, Martinez is really tough and I can't say if he will be the winner in the end. Here in this rematch, I like to see the 100% conditioned Ancajas so that no reasons at all to look at after we see the result.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. already buried the chances that he might face Manny Pacquiao again even if it will be in massive demand by the community.

He mentioned that he already had a hard fight in his life and all he will do now is purely for entertainment and fun.

It does mean that even in the exhibition matches, we will no longer see "The Money" fighting a real boxer within his league which does make sense after all. Those who will be annoyed at his exhibition match should just accept that Floyd is just making big money even in retirement.

What stops us the most from becoming master traders?

Instead of thinking about what's stopping us to become trading experts, why not just be serious about our goals to become like that? Trading is not an easy task to do and we really need damn several experiences, worst or not, in order to become a good ones.

Even professional traders still commit mistakes today but they are learning from every mistake.

We should be like that especially every after a big regrettable loss. Just move forward.
1404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 30, 2022, 02:54:29 PM
Anything is possible, including a draw. Both are champions, and although Crawford is the favorite to win but it doesn't mean he is guaranteed to win. Personally, I think Crawford is the better fighter here, but for sure Spence is gonna do everything to win also.

Speculating a draw result is really tough knowing these boxers are currently at their peak. Although a draw is possible, I'm not expecting that result. These guys will push on their limit and one of them will be declared a winner at the end.

IQ, Strength, Strategies, Skills, etc. - I do think both boxers have it as they won't reach their respective status if they don't have that.

It now depends on who will be able to execute it timely and properly.
1405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 30, 2022, 02:51:44 PM

WBC and WBO super bantamweight Champion Stephen Fulton has shown interest in fighting the Bantamweight King Naoya Inoue if possible or if the latter moved up to 122lb. But if that didn't happen, Fulton can fight Murodjon Akhmadaliev instead to unify the Super Bantamweight title.

Just as I thought that the Champions in that division are waiting for Naoya Inoue. I think Inoue can crash these guys at the Super Bantamweight but of course, he just needs to fully prepare for that and don't rush everything.

The way I looked at Inoue, he is overqualified already to compete in the Super Bantamweight. Who's with me or against my idea? Smiley

What a monster performance by Magnolia's import Nick Rakocevic from Serbia. I'm impressed with his PBA debut and I think one of the imports who has an impressive debut in the league's history. It's noted that this import faced criticisms right away as other people look at white imports as not that competitive and strong. An unfair judgment and not good behavior tsk tsk.

Brgy. Ginebra vs Rain-Or-Shine, congratulations to those bettors who placed a bet for the latter. Pre-game odds are @1.5 for Ginebra against @3 for ROS. Can't believe Ginebra just scored 5 points in the 2nd quarter. That was horrible.

I don't think recreational gambling will cause a loss of reputation. People need to have fun every once in a while and reduce their stress.

Unfortunately, it can't be applied to all professions even if these people are just gambling for fun and reducing stress.

For example, people saw a politician gambling in a casino or any gambling-related establishment. The first impression is surely negative since there will be speculations that the money used in gambling is intended for the public even in reality the politician is just taking a break or having a bit of fun after heavy work and using their own money to gamble.

To conclude, if a profession is highly recognized and seems sensitive, always keep in mind that gambling might be a big issue if others saw them doing that, especially in a public place like a physical casino.

In which coin should I invest money other than bitcoin? Because bitcoin has been the most profitable And what will be the future of the other coin, will it increase or not, then you guys can tell. Thanks in advance

Since you used the word "should", it should be your own decision and not anyone else.

Those altcoins that will be mentioned here are just advice, suggestions, and recommendations. Not because you see them profiting at that altcoins, it doesn't mean you will have the same result.

My recommendations are ETH and BNB as main, IDEX, CARDANO, SOL, GALA as secondary, P2E games, Metaverse games, etc. as optional.

And lastly, improved your DYOR skills.

All I found is that the withdrawals takes a lot of time, bout 14-20 days

The fact that you got that information based on your research, that's already enough reason not to use the site.

Even for let's say they are legit, the withdrawal time period is horrible. I don't see any reasons why withdrawal should take up to 3 weeks before it will be processed. Huh Even for manual payouts processing, that shouldn't take about a week.

There are many reputable bookies here to choose from. Shift your attention to those sites instead.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 27, 2022, 11:58:10 PM
Two factors why Ancajas lost from the fight, lack of training because of the sudden replacement and second is he is not in good state where he can give a good fight to Martinez.

We should stop saying the sudden replacement of the opponent is one of the reasons why Jerwin Ancajas lost. That was a sh*t reason for a champion like him. On the other hand, Martinez is also on the same as he suddenly becomes a challenger and will face the champion.

Both of them have the same time to do the preparations.

It's clear and is also mentioned by his camp that Ancajas is not really in his shape on that fight because of overtraining to reach the required weight. That's it.
1411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Casino Licenses on: September 27, 2022, 11:50:07 PM
Hello,

Is it possible and legal to open an online casino without a license?
I have heard that a license only allows to put users in confidence
What do you think about this?

A license is proof that an online casino is complying with legal terms.

Referring to crypto-casinos, since supposedly, cryptos are not meant to be authorized, it's not an issue before if a crypto-casino does have a license or not. But since lots of irregularities happened, regulation is now being pushed for the safety of the users. When users got scammed, there was no way they can reach that site because these casinos are not regulated, therefore information was very limited.

Just to be clear, even with a license, it doesn't mean that the casino is 100% can be trusted. It's just that, it's another form of a layer to gain the trust of the community as once a casino is given a license, it means the people running this casino are not anonymous.
1412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can whitepaper still shows the weakness of a project and their team on: September 27, 2022, 11:43:45 PM
For newbies is a copied whitepaper still a red flag for projects?  

I think a newbie can even answer this. Obviously, a copied whitepaper is a red flag. How come these project owners can run smoothly their projects if they can't even work to make their own whitepaper? Regardless if the use-case is almost the same, it's a shitty move for them to just copy another project's whitepaper.

Where's the seriousness?

I heard they don't matter much anymore because big projects do the same thing too, if two projects have the same goals or utility one can copy the other, change some few words here and there?

Can you give us the names of those "big projects" that have a copied whitepaper from others?

What advice can you give me based on this? Is it right to say, yo any project that has a whitepaper that looks like another project is a scam or  bad for investment.

After doing some research about the basic factors to look at a new project, lurk on their discussion group to see the pulse of other people there about that project. I'm sure you know the difference between real users and shillers there.
1413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Parents And Their Children In Gambling.. on: September 27, 2022, 11:35:46 PM
What do you make out of this story, should we really allow our children to live such a lifestyle like gambling and night clubbing, most especially, when they are still under aged?

No pun intended but parent-to-parent talk between us, is this even a question?

Kids are full of curiosity while they are growing. Of course, we don't want them to be involved in that activity at an early age but honestly, there's no 100% way to prevent them from encountering those activities as it's not all the time we can watch them. Aside from that, prohibiting them will just lead them to aggressively find their way to do gambling or night stuff, etc.

Give them a sort of friendly talk related to gambling, while at breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. It's not that the majority of the kids will be interested easily in gambling. I have known some rich friends of mine way back during our minor age that even though they have lots of money, don't really have an interest doing gambling even until now.
1414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 26, 2022, 11:50:48 PM
That makes the three of them inside the same team an injury prone namely Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and John Wall. However, if they can maintain their health throughout the whole season, I bet the Clippers will be sweeping teams or will reach the conference finals. There will be some high expectations for the team now because their roster is now stronger than recent season.

And if you guys remember last season, when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are having their respective recovery periods because of their injuries, the Clippers show they can still win despite the absence of their superstars. They are having a good run without their superstars.

It does mean that the Clippers are having good support from their role players. Hopefully, they will be a fully healthy team this season to increase more the competition in the Western Conference.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 26, 2022, 11:44:58 PM
It's not that Martinez is not good, but we think that it was just a fluke win and Jerwin should have won the first fight in there is no problem on his side. (I might be biased here, hehehe).

Actually, it's not a biased comment just because we are supporting Ancajas here.

It should be noted that even though Ancajas is struggling the whole fight because of that overtraining he did just to reach the required weight, he was able to finish the 12-round fight against the much healthier Martinez and the result ended up in the decision.

It's a landslide win for Martinez, not even close, 117-111, 118-111, 118-111. I hope Ancajas will turn that scorecard in favor of him on their rematch. Much better if Ancajas will win via TKO. That would be sweet revenge.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Online casino/gambling projects on: September 26, 2022, 11:36:45 PM
I am starting to have this crazy interest in crypto gambling projects like online casinos and stuff but I want to ask, this utility have been around for years but is there any old project that live this long and still functions?

You can check those active ANN threads in the Gambling section.

Check the creation date of that thread, obviously on the first page, and you should find some gambling sites that are operational already for several years and are still alive and kicking today or should I say, even getting more bigger as they progress!

Also what are the things that kills such project because even one or two survived for long I don't see many alive till now, they fail easily or turn scam later.

Various reasons are; site CEOs shift interest to other businesses just what happened to Yolodice (correct me on this, thanks), lack of funding and decide to stop now the operations, scammed exit, etc.

Other reasons are not mentioned.

Regardless of the reason why the site is closing, what matter is, they should do a good exit and give time for their users to withdraw their respective funds.
1417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 26, 2022, 11:31:01 PM

Aside from that award-related issues regarding guest teams, there are speculations that PBA intentionally modified the schedule of the Bay Area Dragons to face first those teams that are not on the top tier. In that way, top-tier teams like SMB, Ginebra, or TNT can scout first the skills and talents of this guest team to fully prepare once they will now faced-off against the Dragons.

What's your take on that speculation guys? It does make sense or not? Smiley
1418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Reputation on: September 26, 2022, 11:24:15 PM
You're a professional like a lawyer or a teacher in a respected university, will it harm your reputation if people around you or your students discover that you are into gambling, you're not really a compulsive gambler but gamble for entertainment, how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.

Actually, that reputation can't just be easily ruined just because we do gambling if we are really known for having a good character.

Just like in the example you have mentioned if that lawyer and teacher are really doing their best in their respective field, there should be no issue about them if people found out that they do gambling. It's like a normal thing already that everyone is gambling.

We don't have to impress the community if we know to ourselves that we are doing good despite being involved in gambling.
1419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 25, 2022, 11:20:50 PM
The sad news is, we may not see that good as an odd as the Northport had against the Bay Area Dragons. Since they almost got the W, bookies now know that the Dragons are not what we think they are. They can be beaten. San Miguel, Ginebra, and TNT may have even lower odds against them since they are way stronger than Northport.

Agree with you there. However, if Bay Area Dragons instead have an easy win against Northport last night, I doubt most bettors will bet against them in Moneyline no matter how tempting the odds is. Only a few will still take the courage to place a bet on the underdog team and no matter how big the handicap is against this guest team.

But for let's say the Dragons got an easy win against Northport, I'm sure that if against SMC teams, especially Ginebra and SMB, the highest ML odds I'm seeing for these teams will be around @2.1 - @2.3. No way bookies will consider SMC teams as a heavy underdog against the Dragons.

Well then, let's wait for the odds once the Dragons are now up against SMC teams.
1420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 25, 2022, 11:13:40 PM
The promoter won't possibly let Crawford or Spence to activate that rematch if the outcome of their first fight is a knockout or TKO, if that will happen, the defeated boxer won't have a choice but to move-on on the situation because a rematch won't give much difference as the first fight is already clear enough to know who's more dominant.

Not truly aware of that but as far as my knowledge about boxing agreements is concerned, that doesn't count as one of the reasons why a rematch won't happen. Regardless if the fight was finished and ended in a TKO, the purpose of the rematch is simply, to have a rematch.

If Boxer A is dominant in the first match, it doesn't mean that Boxer B won't stand a chance to get his revenge in the rematch. There's always a chance for turning the table in favor of the loser in the first match.

That's what a rematch is all about no matter how dominant the winner of the first match is.
