No no no, there's no such thing as the NFT era, I should say. We can call it the NFT craze or NFT hype instead. That's the proper term from what I see about the NFT trend today. An era means it's a dominant industry which I think is not currently the situation for NFT today.

NFT is now invading the casino industry? I'm not aware of these. What casinos are currently applying the use of NFT on their gambling platforms?

Can you give some examples for everyone's awareness?

Hey, let's give time for the kid. Regardless if he can help his team to win on Sunday or not, it should not be expected. Like you said he is just a rookie after all. Sometimes the potential of a player is only shown after several conferences. If he will have a great night on Sunday, then good.

Time flies so fast. The PBA All-Filipino Cup Conference will now begin tomorrow.

Before the tip-off, there will be the previous Season's individual awards winners first.

Height and reach advantage but still, if those are only the advantages of Vargas, I would never consider Magsayo as an underdog.

I think the odds will just be equal or not that wide. Even though I'm trying to understand the sentiment of others that Vargas is the favorite, I can't really say that's the situation here. Magsayo is a Champion and regardless of whether Vargas is more experienced, that's not the basis.

But you are right, we have to wait for the official odds to be released to see if our speculation is right on whether Magsayo is the Favorite, Underdog or equal.

That's right. Nonito Donaire is really determined to avenge his loss against Naoya Inoue. He surely has lots of strategies on his mind now on how to match Inoue's skills where he based it on their first match. Those strategies might be on Donaire's mind for a long already after that loss and what he needs to do is to work his way until the rematch is possible to happen.

However, even though Donaire is determined to win, surely his opponent is also having the same mindset. Inoue already knows that Donaire is dangerous and surely there are new strategies that the Japanese are going to do to avoid those strong and quick punches from Donaire.

I would say Horford is one of the main reasons but not the main reason.

Derrick White also has a great contribution to their rally and he's coming from the bench. He is not even averaging 30 minutes per game but he didn't waste the opportunity that was given to him by his Coach for an increased playing time.

I'm sure some of the Celtics players will surprise us in the next games. But the Warriors also have a deep bench that can give good support for their starters.

I know Game 1 results aren't a reference to predict who will win the series but here in Game 1, it shows that Boston Celtics can do something spectacular and not heavily rely on Jayson Tatum. The 2022 Eastern Conference Most Valuable Player is off-night and this Finals Game 1 is one of his worst performances since the playoffs started but still, the Celtics were able to rally from a 12-points deficit and even win in a 12-points lead against a team like Golden State Warriors.

That's not the first time that the Celtics support role players showing a good adjustment that's why I disagree with the post here that the Celtics just rely on Jayson Tatum. Again, I'm not saying the Celtics already have the advantage this Finals but just pointing out a particular analysis regarding the Celtics is just only about Tatum.

Wait, Mark Magsayo is the underdog in terms of what?

Stats? Tale-of-the-Tape? Age? Winning record? Number of TKO? Technical analysis? Power (is this even can measure?)? Strength? The difficulty of training?

I looked for the odds preview on this fight but found nothing. Why others are already considering Magsayo as an underdog here?

Wonderful odds. I'm really expecting odds like this. I don't really care how strong Naoya Inoue is and I can disregard all technical analysis pointing to him to win on the match as I will support my fellow countrymen. Upsets always happened even though the majority will say it's not likely to happen in this match.

Simple as that, if they believed Inoue will win and Donaire has no chance of upsetting the monster, then place a bet for Inoue with low odds. Donaire with the right timing will find a hole to connect his counter punch that might result in fatal damage like what he did during their first match.

For those sites that covered sports betting, almost all popular sites I encounter do have a simple UI. Actually for me, being called and considered the best depends on how easy to browse the site's interface. I even prefer a minimal, simple yet organized design for all platforms.

I won't mention those sites I preferred as the entire list is honestly good. Generally, the selection will be based on users' preferences.

For newcomers, maybe pick one and see to themselves if they will have a good experience using that platform. After all, there's a respective ANN thread for them to see and check some reviews and feedback before playing at those sites.

Depends on the situation. They will always know what best to do once they faced each other later on. For now, it's reasonable to think that Jayson Tatum might take the position of guarding Curry since he is already used to guarding a quick playmaker scorer like how he shut down Kyrie Irving in the first round.

Sometimes he even guards Kevin Durant and Giannis of the Milwaukee Bucks.

We will see later on what kind of man-to-man defense will the Celtics do against the Warriors. Just over an hour now before the game starts.

I can't believe you take that seriously. That was based on ESPN's NBA Basketball Power Index.

It just depends on the overall stats this season but of course, we can't determine the chances of a team in the Finals.

Maybe they just showed it wrong since they showed the "chances of a team" in the Finals but if we take it deeply, that was purely a stat-based computation and never will become a computation of chances of a team in the Finals. Don't stress yourself about it.

It's impossible that those reports won't be surfaced since the cases are growing bigger. It will be publicized no matter what.

E-sabong is not really illegal as of now but just suspended that's why every current operation is considered illegal.

Waiting for the noticed of the new government if they will really take down e-sabong for good.


I doubt the current demand. There are a few still operating behind the shadow but I'm sure the demand is not that high. Maybe only those who are really addicted to E-sabong will still continue to bet here.

Different during the legal days of the operation where even not a gambler is playing E-sabong.

I think even in the event of losing this match, Donaire will still fight at least 2-3 fights before hanging his gloves. If he was able to repeat the same damage he gives to Inoue then it means he still has that power to pulverize an opponent but it's just that Inoue was able to top him.

I can't compare it to the status of Manny Pacquiao when he retires because Pacman has lots of activity while doing boxing at the same time. When he faced Yordenis Ugas as a replacement for Errol Spence Jr., Pacquiao have lots of activities on his hands and did not focus on boxing especially when he exchange tirades with Pres. Duterte about those corrupted officials in the government were in the end, Pacquiao wasn't able to support his claims. There's an ongoing case too that Pacquiao is facing during this training.

Donaire on the other hand is focused on boxing and a bit of entertainment but not as hot and trendy as Pacquiao did. That's the reason I believed that in case Donaire losses here, he will still fight.

I agree with what you think about the Golden State Warriors and we have the same thought.

But saying Boston Celtics relies heavily on Jayson Tatum? I must say you might miss some of their playoffs game.

No need for an explanation but if you will do some recap on their hard journey this playoff, it might change your view that the Celtics are just about Tatum.

Lots of reasons to mention:

- Fixed-game
- Big fish agent
- Debts as agents can replenish the balance of users without paying first
- Breaking the agreement etc.

You are wrong in the last statement that legal gambling has nothing to do with the crime. IF you want to dig more, you can refer to the Senate investigation here regarding the missing case of those people involved in online cockfights.

The gambling site is taking advantage of the NFT craze. This is the first time I read that concept and I want to see what's the result in the long run. Since it's quite new to our dictionary, we don't know yet if the community will be attracted to it.

A good idea that someone from their brainstorming team makes up that move. But good results, if ever, might just be seen after months. Their actions might result too for other gambling sites to follow the move.

Let's stay tuned for their other NFT-related plans in the future.

The trilogy is the automatic next event for these two only if Nonito Donaire will win the rematch, obviously. There's no other fight that should happen next aside from a trilogy if Donaire was able to upset the heavy Japanese favorite Naoya Inoue.

It needs to be decided on the trilogy if the rematch results in 1-1 standing.

Of course, in the event Donaire loses in this rematch, no trilogy will happen and Inoue might now move up a weight class to face new challenges there.

The Warriors odds are actually pretty decent knowing Boston Celtics really struggles at the Eastern Conference Finals.

The whole roster of Warriors is also performing and contributing well during the playoffs.

For now, I didn't place yet an outright series champion bet. Maybe I will go on a per-game basis here but that too I think is difficult. I like to bet on the Warriors winning the title but I also want to risk for Celtics. This was difficult for me. Still have a few days left to decide.

NLEX can only have a shot in the PBA Finals or have a good standing in the Conference during the Governors Cup and Commissioners Cup with the help of their import. Even if Kiefer Ravena will play in the All-Filipino Conference, NLEX is not even considered a threat. Coach Yeng Guiao's Red Bull Barako's Mindset was now also faded and I started noticing it first in the PBA Bubble. Before he can turn a common player into something talented but now it's gone.

NLEX is not a good team in the All-Filipino. MVP teams also always just prioritize their top team and that's Katropa.

You are now close to winning your bet, mate. That's how you bet on the Finals, should be done early to fully take advantage of the odds. I admit that even with how strong and competitive those teams that currently playing for the last spot of the playoffs, the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will have a hard time to even winning once against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors are built differently and aside from their main cast, their young players are also playing well.

My speculation is a 4-1 Finals series score by Golden State Warriors against either Celtics or the Heat.
