The question is ?
What do you really think of the lottery company and is there any chance for them to winning the case and not paying the winner?
Some countries lottery/gambling is legal and some countries lottery/gambling is illegal, if you talk about laws, it depends. I mean, there are lottery companies that are illegal and there are legal ones, if the user wins the lottery the lottery dealer doesn't pay, let's say the lottery company is legal, if the winning user has enough proof of his winnings that user will get the lottery and vice versa it is illegal to have no hope for that user. In the case as you mentioned, it seems legal, it is marked that the user is likely to get the lottery. But mostly this kind of case is illegal and for sure what you've expected on this? If legal as long as you have the winning ticket then the case will end, and you'll be sure that you can get the money but if it is illegal it is more likely the lottery will close and not open or they will keep blind that you didn't win even if you have that ticket. I heard this rumours around our neighbourhood when I was a child that a lottery closed because someone won big and they didn't pay him so he can't chase them as he doesn't know them. Well, that would be an expected consequence if someone bets from an illegal betting company, and he knows he can’t do anything about it but regret. But here, the lottery company seems legal but their reason of not paying is just very light and unreasonable, but only the court will prove it if who’s been the telling the truth. Once proven, then the one who is at fault should be given proper sanction. |

I can't give a reason of why people are sometimes holding their assets and bitcoin on exchanges because I've never done that, I personally usually won't use any centralized exchange even if the exchange is very famous and even after depositing bitcoins there I would withdraw my founds after doing the exchanges instantly instead of holding there.
But I guess most people will hold their assets on changes because they want their bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be ready for doing any trade sometimes they will place an oper order for sale and their assets won't form the exchanges, the other reason can be the profit usually the exchanges offer for holding the assets there for long term.
That is mostly the case for some traders who still trust centralized exchanges because they want to easily trade their coins in the exchanges when the market is in bullish trend. But it would be more safe if those traders would only place minimal amount of coins to trade using exchanges as we don’t hold any outcome guarantees like it will be profitably done or not. And hacking could be very possible anytime in all exchanges operating online. |

Everybody needs to fear crypto exchange without waiting for people to preach exchange is not good for storing bitcoin. Remitano exchange is where I do buy bitcoin and sell bitcoin. Sometimes it is very difficult to have access with this wallet to sell or buy bitcoin, at times it takes 24hrs before one can logging this exchange. Just imagine exchange like this have some network issues like this and never gets back to normal again. This should be enough reason why people shouldn't store bitcoin on exchange wallet.
It is always known and even more encouraged for newbies to never trust crypto exchanges as they can never be reliable in the long run. Although issues might be resolved after days or weeks, but after that, surely another issue will arise that creates another problem for the user. This will continue to happen with crypto exchanges. But if you have your own non-custodial wallet, you will have the sole control of your coins, when to keep them more or withdraw. So you won’t face undesirable problems that most crypto exchanges encountered. |

I want to believe that everyone is affected either directly or indirectly by the present global economic downturn. It is even worse for people in developing nations because. Over the past 2 years people in my country have experienced the highest inflation rate since the history of the nation. Prices of common commodities have increased more than 4 times. The most painful part of it is that we are powerless, complaining or ranting on social media is little help. I do not angry or surprised any more because I already expect the price of the item to add a few cents the next time I visit the corner shop.
I think there’s no reason now to expect that these basic commodities will more likely to decrease their prices since the inflation gets even worser, considering even a piece of onion in our country is now very costly. So everyone is certainly affected right now, except for those who are living in golden spoon and that they won’t even notice if prices have increased or decreased in time. But I think the people who are deeply affected right now are those living in poverty, they will surely become poorer and poorer this time. |

It's illogical to compare all these with real estate. It's like comparing apples with potatoes—the first one is a fruit, the other a vegetable. Yes, I agree, real estate is probably one of the best—if not the best—investments you can ever make. You can sell it, rent it for passive income, use it for yourself, or a combination of them. Whether we like it or not, housing is becoming more and more expensive; thus, real estate will always be a worthwhile investment. The problem is that if you haven't inherited a property, it's nearly impossible to acquire one yourself nowadays.
Exactly. The OP haven't established or have thought that not everybody is capable to own a land or properties these days and convert it to a passive income where you will build a building to make some profits in the future thus getting some benefits as well because the property/land will get more expensive as years goes by. That is why it's hard to own some of it these days because real estate business is not new anymore. But everyone has the power to own some crypto and stocks because that's much cheaper than owning a land as you can jus by a fraction of it, not wholly, like real estates. But the risks are the same and the owner will still benefit as year goes by. |

I am very excited for this because I have told everyone many times that Boots Ennis is the boxer who can win against the kings of welterweight, Spence and Crawford.
In any case, my prediction is Boots will knockout Karen in round 1.
Yes, Ennis said that he wanted to make a statement here, it will be a PPV fight (co main event) so everyone is watching him. And if he win big here then for sure the hype train will continue and hopefully it will lead to either Spence or Crawford this year. This will be a ladder boost for Jaron Ennis to get his place much closer to both Errol Spence and Terence Crawford, but it'll be closer for Spence because he will be the IBF mandatory after his fight against Karen which by the way I don't think that Ennis will lose here against Ukrainian boxer. Critics will be watching him in this bout for sure and defeating Karen will boost his name to call for the champions next. |

Can't blame him if LeBron that time took his talent to the South Beach where Miami Heat is, I mean, Cavaliers was really nothing if LeBron wasn't in the eqaution and drafted there. But in fairness, LeBron came back and promised that he will bring the team their very first championship trophy which really happened when he came back. Wasn't a nice journey because the Dub Nation was also strong that time, adding Durant in their roster.
Well, it's also like a "shout out" for the Cavaliers at that time to do something better at surrounding him with good players and we all witnessed what they did when Lebron James came back. Pulled Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love just so the winning chance is higher and they did take the championship ring for that. This could happen to Victor Wembanyama too if a team will be cheap at looking for players that will reflect his skills. It's not a one-man team, never, Warriors won't have that many championships if only Steph is the one doing all the offensive jobs. Correct! It was a three-man job at the most where Green and the Splash Bros leads the team to get a win, but there's still a challenge that's why they needed some reliable role players to help protect the team in their defense to secure a win until they managed to get the championship. Just like LeBron, we all know that LeBron in Cleveland was so different but he couldn't still pull the championship if there's no Kyrie and Love in the team. |

Well there is a new name popping around recently that Canelo is interested on fighting British contender John Ryder.
For sure it won't sit well on the winner of this fight, because we wanted if David Benavidez wins here, to fight Canelo. So it's a surprised if indeed Canelo will skip Bivol in his comeback fight and step aside the winner here and fight John Ryder.
I wouldn't be surprised though as we all know that Canelo is recovering from his injuries so he might as well take a light opponent first before taking either the winner of this fight or again avenge his defeat to Bivol.
As far as I know, Eddie Hearn and Canelo Alvarez's camp have said last year that Canelo won't be fighting a direct heavy opponent after his surgery because they needed to get him back to his feet first just to be safe and that he will be given a tune-up fight before he decides to face the winner of Plant-Benavidez fight or go for a rematch with Bivol. So, I'm thinking that maybe this is what they meant that time because John Ryder is not that kind of a risk to Canelo's throne, but I found out that Ryder have the WBO interim belt which kind of confusing. Probably, but let's see how Canelo critics will take this, for sure they will give a lot of negative press for Canelo in he chooses this fighter. Which I had to admit I have to check his boxrec to see if he is worthy. So he is the interim WBO belt, but it doesn't matter, but now we all know what they are fighting him. It's because of his injury and yeah probably a tune up and test how his hands were after the surgery. Maybe after this one he will fight either Bivol or the winner here. Canelo as well said that he wants to fight 3x a year so that is about the possibility for this year or at least 3x fight within 12 months. Well, if Canelo can manage to make this tune-up fight happen before the 1st quarter of this year ends then I think he can do three fights this year. But that still depends though if how this fight will turns out because this is still a test for Canelo to see if his hands are working fine or should he needed some more rest to recover from the surgery. Either way, he will be fighting the winner of this fight or Bivol, that's for sure. The question is, who will be fighting first. |

I don't think he is messing though, I mean that's what he has been saying for many years, 2 rounds and he will knockout Davis. Perhaps this was due to Ryan knocking out opponents in round 1 back to back. I remember Duno, who also says that he will knock out Ryan, but he was done in round 1 and that makes Ryan very confident in knocking down his opponent early. He was crack by Luke Campbell, but he has great recuperating power from a punch, because after that big test, he was able to knockout Campbell with that huge body punch in the ribs.
He probably wants the public to hype Tank more if Tank could KO his opponent in round 1, and at the same time he will get more appreciation if he could also knock out Tank Davis in 3 rounds, hehe. it's possible with Garcia's power but this is Tank Davis, a great fighter who is a KO artist. Trash talk or anything like that would add fire to the potential fight, but it will be more fun to watch then on the ring giving their best. Just some couple of words to pressure Tank in defeating Hector early because if their fight will finish much longer, the hype will belong to Ryan Garcia and that's what he wanted because Ryan Garcia is like a self centered kid in my perspective who wanted to gather attention. But if Tank manages to finish the fight much earlier, it will still benefit Ryan Garcia because he's still be included in the upcoming scenario where people is expecting a good fight as both of them is a knockout artist. Ryan Garcia can talk some trash out of Davis but the latter won't be affected, he's just too accustomed in those kind of things. But Ryan Garcia, I don't know, the kid has yet faced embarrassments. |

Damn Pacman is still up to make noise in MMA! Can't imagine how much would Pacman's contract will be for Rizin. He is paid more than 100 million of USD in each boxing match, I doubt Dana white can afford him, and least of all RIZIN which is just in Japan. Who is he fighting?
If Logan is still up to it and can still face the public despite thier scams, I think Pacman will fight either Logan.
Fair point. Dana White's UFC can really afford Pacquiao at a much higher rate where the latter can have more millions of guaranteed money that what RIZIN can do because the platform was just specifically in Japan and not a worldwide based arena like UFC. But we all know that Dana White is not that fan when it comes to exhibition fights where his fighters are going to climb into Pacquiao's comfortable zone. Dana White can seriously organize a fight like that but that's just not his ground because his focus is an octagon fight, which explains why he's not that happy when McGregor fought Mayweather in the ring. |

Beterbiev is older anyways, so the strength and reflexes aren't the same as the previous years.
Yarde's camp needs to work on this one. If they can find the best strategy to take this little advantage against Beterbiev, then he might have to get an opportunity to take down his opponent. Definitely, if they can find some loophole on Beterviev then good, take that advantage, maybe the way he throw his punch or his defensive stance that they can counter and who knows, maybe he can pull an upset. Yarde needs to be in his best form during this fight if he wants to handle Beterbiev. Yarde needs to have stamina enough to last for a 12-round fight because I believe the strategy is to move and fight smart in order to avoid getting hit by Beterbiev. Beterbiev is now a little slower with less strength so I guess Yarde will try to outbox, and throw counters, and if cornered he needs to hold and use his strength to avoid a close-quarter fight. I am rooting for Beterbiev to win so I hope that he still has enough to survive a possible early lead from Yarde who's also a big puncher. Yarde will probably get tired of running in the late rounds and Beterbiev will go for the KO. Yes, he should bring his gas tank in this fight, because Beterviev is known to have not just the punching power, but also to carry the fight if it goes to distance. But if we look at Yarde's physical and body composition, he has a lot of muscle and this could affect him in the later round if he don't know how to preserve his energy. If he doesn't want to do it, then they will have to find a way for him to breath and have a deep lung. So it's either for Yarde to go for broke early because it will be very dis-advantageous for him, as the longer it gets, the more he will gets tired. So it's going to be very hard fight and what is the perfect strategy for him. If he will be engaged to a toe-to-toe exchange of punches, then he needed to work well with his stamina. If he survives with that encounter, the next few rounds will be tough for him. like what you mentioned, Beterviev is not just a heavy puncher but also capable to stand till the last round, and Yarde needs to work on it to make sure that he also has that stamina to fight, else, Beterviev will take this fight from him. Dangerous for Yarde to stand toe to toe and exchange with Beterviev, and I don't think he will do that. Look at Butler when he face Inoue, we thought that he will go after Inoue in first couple of round but he folded. So I think Yarde is smart to do that, he will really need to have a lot of stamina and hopefully he will not be caught with Beterviev power punches. Otherwise it will be over and this fight is not going to distance. Just probably maintain his distance and play defense throughout the fight, although this is also very hard to do as well. Yarde probably knew that already as it's really not wise for him to stay in-front of the Russian monster who had a vicious knockout punch, but we don't know, maybe Yarde and his camp do have a concrete plan how to engage properly with Beterbiev without backing so much. As per Yarde's words, he will defeat Beterbiev, so I bet they really have some plans unlike Butler who didn't have some words prior the fight because he already knew that he's just participating to give Inoue the belt he's lacking. |

Lebron took years before he can get a championship although he was a promising rookie at the start of his career.
He made an easy shortcut by joining Wade and Bosh in Miami, just like Durant, he also joined Curry and Thompson to win championships. If there's no hope in a team, then that talent needs to be taken to a team that has a decent chance of winning a championship. Well, so much expectation from him, we all know how talented he is, but this is NBA, the biggest league in the world, so he also need to maintain himself to be healthy, so as not to waste his talent. Can't blame him if LeBron that time took his talent to the South Beach where Miami Heat is, I mean, Cavaliers was really nothing if LeBron wasn't in the eqaution and drafted there. But in fairness, LeBron came back and promised that he will bring the team their very first championship trophy which really happened when he came back. Wasn't a nice journey because the Dub Nation was also strong that time, adding Durant in their roster. |

Not really, I'd rather say that bitcoin is more of a threat to the digital dollar than the other way around. Anyway, that doesn't really matter because e-dollar/digital dollar and bitcoin have their respective and distinct use why they were created in the first place. People also have their own reason why would they choose bitcoin over e-dollar or e-dollar over bitcoin. This digital dollar is of course controlled by the government, so that will be useless when it comes to guarding ourselves up when it comes to inflation but if in terms of stable coins, digital dollar has the advantage because it doesn't move that much and has less risk compared to the volatility of bitcoin. |

Donovan Mitchell!! 71 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.  7/15 - long-distance shots. My oh my, he took the game to overtime where it's almost a white flag game. Then dominated the whole overtime and snatch the win away from the Bulls. The highest point made since Kobe in 2006 was 81 points. Mitchell is now listed as the 8th most points in NBA history tied with David Robinson. Wilt still holds the highest at 100. Absolutely a monster, he found his zone and the Bulls didn't expect that. They chased a 21-point lead and flipped the game. Include also the one that only Mitchell is holding right now. He's the only player in NBA history who got a 70-point 10 assists in a single game. On that night, 5 players exploded including Thompson, DeRozan, LeBron and Embiid. I believe that this trend will just continue until the end of the regular season. Players will just explode for more than 40+ points. The league right now is more focused on the offensive side thus, teams right now are scoring way higher than where it was years ago. Anyway, Mitchell for MVP?? What do you think? In terms of career high double-double, no doubt that Donovan Mitchell owned that record now. 70 points with 10 assists in a single is not an easy job to pull off because the league now is getting more intense and crazier. But him for MVP, he definitely got a chance, but he still needed to at least join the Top 10 before we could start discussing it. Just now, Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 55 points with 10 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks defeats the Washington Wizards. And for the Celtics, they were defeated by the undermanned OKC with a 33 points deficit. The Celtics started 2023 with a loss against the Nuggets and now they are defeated again, don't know what happened to them but it really looks like they were played by the OKC. |

And that's the true advantage right there because even though Garcia have the size advantage, Davis here is already accustomed fighting with that scenario and surely he prepared for it because he knows that there will be some times that he'll get to fight with other boxers that are much taller than him and he doesn't want that his size will be the one who will give him the disadvantage despite the KO power he had.
The reach difference isn't small, and I think that is what Ryan Garcia is working out. Making use of all his advantages. If executed properly, I think Gervonta Davis may have difficulty moving around and closing into Ryan Garcia. Ryan Garcia should be careful and I expect the best from him because he had to cancel his fight with Mercito Gesta just train and prepare straightly for his fight with Tank Davis. And yes, I also think that this bout won't be needing a full 12 rounds.
This skipped fight with Ryan Garcia may take a toll on him. The fight against Gesta is a good way to test his training, there is a possibility of signs of ring rust too because of too much idleness before Ryan's fight against Gervonta. I think Ryan is getting too confident that can possibly work against him. I agree, if Ryan will take that advantage of is, being long and used his jab even further in this fight, stiff and strong jab that will let Davis very uncomfortable and can't execute his game play then Ryan might have a chance to win. And then probably Davis will adjust too maybe in the middle of the fight, maybe put more pressure on Ryan and push him to make that one mistake and then he deliver his knock out, just like what he did against Romero. Very cautious but then when Rolly goes after him, Davis saw that opportunity. So there could be rounds of adjustment for both fighter, and it could be a chess match in the beginning. Hopefully this time Ryan Garica already know how to utilize fully his reach and size advantage against Tank Davis, the latter will surely have a hard time reaching if Garcia will do that but yes, just like what you guys said, Davis will learn in the middle of the fight and probably already found a loophole how to get near with Ryan Garcia to execute his deadly punches. This will be a battle brains because they are both deadly, Ryan Garcia should also learn not to chase when Davis is backing up because even stepping backward, Davis is known to get his opponents KOd in that situation. |

Guys, but wasnt RIZIN promotion is more oriented on mix martial arts? Which makes it possible for Manny to have his next fight as an exhibition boxing fight against some popular in Asia kickboxer or MMA fighter. Like Mayweather had against Nasukawa. It was a RIZIN fight also. Imho we should not expect anything special from that Pacman contract with RIZIN.
As far as I know, RIZIN is the top promotions when it comes to MMA talents and kick boxing. So, I guess Manny Pacquiao sheltered with that promotion because they offered Manny Pacquiao a good and decent guaranteed money that is acceptable as a boxing legend in-exchange of fighting their top players where RIZIN views it as a guaranteed millions because maybe their fighters there are also famous and can attract audience with mixing Pacquiao on the equation. |

Yarde will probably get tired of running in the late rounds and Beterbiev will go for the KO. Yes, Beterbiev is quite older now as he will turn 38 years old before this month ends and compared to his prime years, he's really viewed as an unstoppable monster and a threat to the whole light-heavyweight division. But now, Yarde might be able to handle the older King Kong if he got a smart plan about it but if doesn't got any then it's safe to assume that Yarde will be adding a KO loss in his record. And going for a head-on collision with Artur is just a bad idea if that's his plan, that seriously won't work as his defense won't be hanging for long with him. |

You are right - Messi was given so much advantage at one point my brother said - they will make Argentina win the world cup - - on the other hand my favourite Ronaldo has now officially joined AL Nasser - and his followed increased drastically - Saudis have given him an immense protocol and he is the most loved and admired celebrity.
I think Messi winning the world cup was the right ending, it was just nice to see his career end like that. A nice wrap up of a fantastic player history. On the other hand, seeing Cristiano Ronaldo going to play now at Saudi Arabia seems like his career ended on a very different path. He reminded me of Pirlo who is now doing non-soccer ads for Qatar. It was as tough ride for the whole team before they reached to the Finals and their opponent that time wasn't easy either because it was France that has tough and agile players as well. Many believed that Mbappe and the whole team will be the ones to go home with the trophy but the opposite happened because Argentina defended it well, so that they will be the ones who will go home celebrating the win. As a Messi fan, I'm glad to see him winning the World Cup as that's the only thing missing in his collection and I'm happy that he actually completed it before he retired. As everyone thinks, including me, I do really think that this will be his last World Cup. |

I know this is too early but I really that Jokic will finally get his ring this year. I just hope that his team mates will not choke because they have the best roster inside out in the league.
Good point because really, it's still too early to say that Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets will get their ring this season. This season is real interesting to me because there's a lot of competitive teams which makes the league so unpredictable and makes the bettors life harder (that includes me). That said, I bet we will see an entertaining games in the playoffs up to the Finals and I have a feeling that we will get to see another champion. |
