Generally speaking, there are similarities between gambling and investing because they both involve risks. But if we are to go deeper and be specific, there are big differences. Even trading and investing are not completely the same. Gambling is a form of entertainment while playing and betting. In sports betting, we have a good chance of winning as well if we know really well the sports which are also comparable to making research when we invest money into an asset like crypto. In trading, we have the charts and various indicators to use as our basis and of course, research is still needed to make sure the asset we are trading is healthy and reliable.

What is wrong with you mate? You seemed not educated the right way. Married for me is all about happiness mate and money is not everything. I would rather stay single forever for as long as I am happy and free to roam anywhere. We were not born to impress our parents, friends, and the media. Who cares about them, I live my life my way.

Crypto and fiat can co-exist although I would prefer the former if I only have to choose 1. So I also prefer a woman that is into crypto or at least not against it. I don't care if she's rich or not because it is all about compatibility and love that will make relationships long-lasting. 

Online sabong or online cockfighting is already illegal in the Philippines IIRC but our country is probably one of the most corrupt in the world. So illegalities continue to run here when you have the power, money, and connections from various officials to cover and protect your illegal business.

Many of these dirty government officials won because they spent a lot of money on assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic where a lot of people suffered financially and had difficulty accessing food and other basic needs.

I really have the feeling that Pavlovich was understated and will impose his skills in order to land his power shots on Blaydes. But knowing Blades and his experiences against top UFC fighters, I was still confident that he's got enough and will come out stronger against Pavlovich. Pavlovich is just so heavy-handed that his jabs are enough to hurt Blaydes which affected its focus and set up for more damaging blows to land.

I doubt Ngannou going back to the UFC anytime soon. It's Jones and old Miocic for the heavyweight title next. 1 or 2 more fights for Pavlovich and he gets a title shot. I still want to see more of Jones at heavyweight. I felt like Gane was just rattled facing the GOAT that leads to his defeat.

I'm pretty sure that there are many hardcore boxing fans tired of Tank cherry-picking his opponents over the years. Despite that, he is well-marketed by PBC and Showtime. And he is the biggest star of PBC and Showtime after Wilder's losses to Fury. Floyd Mayweather was the biggest superstar during his days and today his fans and supporters are in Tank's hype train. This also indicates that Showtime/PBC is nowhere near the level of DAZN/Matchroom when it comes to superstars of the sport and the talent flooded ESPN/Top Rank.

That being said, there is a big chance that Tank will become a champion. Haney is expected to beat Lomachenko and then will move up in weight which will vacate all 4 belts. Haney was already struggling since the rematch with Kambosos in making weight and I doubt he can hold for long. Tank has the regular WBA belt which means he will be elevated as WBA champion if Haney moves up in weight.

Jeez, mate! You need to relax and take a breath. You just got carried away by the popularity of Tank and Garcia. Tank just beat another undefeated prospect. Only that it is more popular than his previous cherry-picked opponents. Garcia is not a world champion. Tommy Fury beating popular Jake Paul doesn't mean he is on the same level as champions Opetaia, Okolie, etc.

Tank's never been in The Ring's and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board's top 10 pound-for-pound. And his win against another undefeated yet unproven and non-champion Ryan Garcia won't merit an entrance to the top 10 let alone at rank 1.

You are right. I just realized that this fight still has no exact date and venue until now. I believe both Donaire and Santiago are now in their final few weeks of preparations. They were expected to have started their training camps in early March or even late February so this fight badly needs a venue and a May date ASAP.

I believe the issue here is Richard Schaefer's involvement with the Kinahans, a global Irish syndicate. Probellum already decided to shut operations earlier but later Schaefer was named as president of Anthem Sports which is expected to become the new promoter of Donaire. But there is also the tendency that Anthem Sports is having difficulty dealing with sponsors, venues, and television networks just like Bob Arum earlier shutting down the chances of working with Schaefer.

Yes, bitcoin is always the primary choice for crypto investment. It's always at the top and in the last years, we never experienced problems in its network, unlike the other blockchains and projects that are experiencing hacks and other issues.

Any project that provides a high APR is already unreliable. Maybe 6% is the highest but this is not even suitable for new projects and those that have low volume in the market. I would rather enjoy gambling with good chances of winning, especially in sports than risk in any hyped crypto projects that have bad tokenomics.

Only 2 games today but very intriguing. At Crypto Arena, the top 2 seed in the west badly needs a win to even their series against the Lakers. But can they do it away from home? The Lakers might be only ranked 7th but this time they are healthy and are too experienced when it comes to the playoffs.

In another very important game today, the Miami Heat, another low-ranked seed at #8 in the east will try to take advantage at home with a commanding 2-1 lead over the Bucks. This time Giannis is expected to return, we do not know if he is really fully recovered from his injury but they badly needed a win as well. The Miami Heat though very well-seasoned when it comes to the playoffs are suffering from their own injuries as well. Butler and Adebayo are not even guaranteed to play while they are already without Herro and Oladipo.

So true. I also lost all of my play-to-earn investments before except Axie Infinity where I am not sure I was even or slightly at a loss or gain. I am stubborn though as I still see potential in PTE and invested again last year which was probably my last time to invest thousands of dollars per game. This year I haven't invested in any of these PTE but I am still believing that this young system will become effective and long-lasting when done correctly although profits may be little and it will be more focused on the fun and entertaining side. And I also learned in the past so I will only invest little amounts if I am to play again.

Donaire really has that lethal hooks that this division is not capable of absorbing well. Donaire may be slower now but his chin is somewhat durable in this division and he has enough world-class experience to try to connect his deadly hooks in 12 rounds. I am confident Donaire will become champion again but I am not sure how long he can stay as champion knowing his age. Hopefully, 2 unification fights will happen so it only needs 1 more unification fight to determine the next undisputed champion. Otherwise, it will take years to collect all 4 belts to become undisputed.

By the way, it's 118 for bantamweight mate, 122 is 1 division above.

So congratulations to those with winning bets, especially Tank KO/TKO. What is next for KingRy? I feel that he might focus on his social media skills. He honestly mentioned some years ago that he is earning big amounts from it and is okay even if he was inactive in boxing. That is tempting indeed especially if you are already rich because boxing is not easy as you have to sacrifice a lot, especially during a training camp. This was probably the reason why Canelo and Eddie Reynoso kicked him out of their camp, both are gym rats. So I guess Ryan Garcia is done with boxing unless this defeat brings back the fire in him or if his pride won't allow him to get out of the sport after a KO loss.

As for Tank Davis. I wonder if he is now ready to fight for a title. He should stop cherry-picking his opponents because I would love to see him vie for a title for a chance to become a 2 division world champion. His mindset of being the face of boxing though might be an indication that he will continue to cherry-pick his next opponents.

Maybe your lack of sleep was worth it. The game was indeed very close and was open to the winner in the last shot. I really thought Sacramento would've won this game. GSW is indeed a very dangerous 3rd quarter team although the inexperienced Kings made their own rally in the 4th.

Now the Kings need to win in game 5 if they want to stay alive in the playoffs. The Kings are now feeling the pressure they never felt during the regular season. I am still hoping they can win this series against the defending champions but it will be an uphill battle. The best way for the Kings to win is to lead early and stop GSW's potential rallies. It will be very hard to beat the defending champions in the last few minutes.

Congratulations to you mate. I've been very busy lately that I am not able to track these big projects that are expected to release their tokens.

$0.03 is indeed a very cheap price although it is limited. At $0.1 per token, it gives Sui a valuation of $1 billion in market cap which is just right. I am not sure about its short-time growth though since it would've been easier for the token to pump if the public sale is below $1 billion. Long term though or let's say next year and 2025 where people are expecting a bull run, $0.2 is very doable.

If I were given the chance to buy cheap, I will probably dump half of it at $0.01 or above. I will then observe the market and do some buybacks when it's priced below $0.01, maybe a $0.05 to $0.08 ratio.

So no airdrop for SUI mate?

Simple easy answer. What did you gamble then? So no, it is not gambling. For me, it is only accounted as gambling if we risked something, be it money or other kinds of stuff that has value. If you are playing something that enables you to earn money if you win, that is not gambling. It's like you join contests in sports, games, and other activities without gambling and yet you can earn if you win.

I'd been contemplating lately playing a play-to-earn game again. Is there anybody here playing profitable P2E games? I have a few hours to allocate daily. I am 50/50 between trading and playing. I want to relax in the next months so I prefer to play a P2E game but of course, I also want to earn even a little like $40 daily should be fine. Investing in order to play is fine but I am done throwing thousands of dollars for some games so my budget might be a little tight this time when it comes to NFT games. Trading is also good especially when the market is starting to move but there are times that it is stressful too. 

It's really sad to happen to the Clippers. They have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George yet they never enjoyed the benefit of their acquisition due to injuries. I really doubt they can win the series against the Suns without at least Kawhi. The Clippers surprisingly made the game close but I doubt it will happen again when adjustments are also made in game 4  which will be their last chance to even the series at home.

KD is always expected to get the main focus of defense but Booker is the one making most of the attacks. One thing that made KD special is his efficiency, he is not the type of player that will keep on attacking if the defense is focused on him and the Suns has the luxury to have a dangerous line-up of stars that can take over their games.  

I cannot blame people to have full confidence in Inoue because he earned it. He has too many achievements and he is a guaranteed first ballot in the Hall of Fame even at this current stage of his career. P4p #1, undisputed champion, 3 division champion and he became a champion in only his 6th pro fight.

Fulton on the other hand is very brave by traveling to Japan to defend his belts. Fulton has the size and skills. Fulton has a proven solid chin too after what we saw during the Figuroa fight. So I won't be surprised if Fulton will try to establish himself early as the aggressor to gain respect and not allow Inoue to just hunt him like prey.
