1681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 14, 2022, 12:31:48 PM
Was it only in PH? I was curious if there is an online cockfighting that accepted cryptocurrency, I think restriction of this kind of matches should be worldwide I think most of the rooster are dead after fighting. I mean this is way more bad than horse racing since people let the rooster fight to death.

Afaik, PH is where you can find a lot of cockfighting events the same way you can find a lot of cockpits in every cities and provinces. And NO, I don't know or see platforms that offers crypto betting with cockfighting (atleast here in PH). That's all because there's not enough client on crypto betting with cockfighting in the country. Most crypto users here are either traders, investors in all sort of NFT, or gambling in an online gambling websites.


I'm also looking for that kind of online game that accept crypto, but since cockfighting is not so popular in other countries, then maybe its hard to find the same. the cockfighting in the Philippines only accepts GCASH, no crypto before it was totally banned.

I have this feeling that he is just a referral and he has nothing to do with the casino.

Yeah, same here, because if it's part of the team, they will make sure they'll put an effort in making a their thread knowing how big the community bitcointalk is. Hopefully OP will reply to the questions here, otherwise, we can easily conclude what we thought is true.

Is this event available on our favorite sportsbooks?

I heard that it's ongoing and I see some news about some of our participants and winning medals already but I have not yet put a bet on this event. Anyone has tried betting already? and what platform are you using for your bets?

It's hard to imagine Dallas will be in the NBA Finals. Not saying it's not gonna happen, but people does not expect that.

That's the surprise this season. LOL.

Bookies does not also believe it will happen that's why the odds for Dallas to win the championship is very high.
As per - https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-21-22-60f9572f41ddce1ac040cdfa.. Dallas is x21 to win the championship, Memphis is the biggest though with x51.

They play a big role in sports, but they are not that big because they can easily be replaced by qualified people. Unlike a player that is so talented, he can actually make his team wins, and that makes him so valuable.

Commentators do not affect the outcome of the game, it's only the refs and the players (team) that could affect the outcome, that's why some bettors also look at who are officiating the game to add the factor to their analysis.

I love the market of NBA in this site, they have a wide market compared to the other sportsbook that I'm using.
Odds are very competitive and I also like the instant processing of withdrawal, especially on XRP.

I have not participated in any promotions yet, but maybe soon.  Grin

1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 12, 2022, 09:21:15 PM
Honestly, I don't see that big loss as a big thing though.

Warriors also beat Grizzlies in game 3 with a very huge margin, but game 4 was a very close one, Grizzlies started short, they are just short a bit in the 4th quarter as the Warriors come back to win the game.
Game 5 was a great game for Grizzlies, they prove that they can still play the game and win. The next game will be a crucial for both team but I think Warriors is still ahead to Grizzlies and have a higher chance here to advance in the finals. Placing my bet again for Warriors, Hoping to see them back in the finals.

If Warriors wins the series, they'll be in the WCF, not finals yet. However, they need to fnish the series in game 6, otherwise, things will be different when Memphis takes the serieson their home court, the crowd will go crazy and Memphis can play physical basketball and beat the Warriors inside.
1688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 12, 2022, 09:10:35 PM
Marcus Smart shouldn't have sit down after that Block from Holiday and he even let that one to be stolen too from him once again. They should have let Tatum get the ball since he was the one that keeping them the leading. They let the Bucks to get the best of them especially on defense and they are nailed in the 90+ zone tbh.

Bolton Celtics is so lazy to recover those lose balls and instead he just hit the ball to get it outside. For me those last rebound during the Giannis missed free throw could be the game changer if they get it. They are always beaten by Bucks when the end game is crucial close game fight. Giannis is unstoppable to get points on those last final minutes but he can't still manage to perfect his free throw though. Bucks is just lucky to have a very strong rebound capability.  Cheesy

That is where the experience pays off the most when it comes to crucial last minute game, almost all of them missed their shots including the Bucks. They are handed with many chances but they repeatedly blow it off especially that part when Giannis missed his free throw and on the last minute, Marcus Smart forced his way despite seeing Brown vacant.
It was smart trying to be smart in that game, but he wasn't actually smart and it cost the Celtics one game, a game that they have to win in order for them to take the lead. Now, the advantage is back on the Bucks as they can finish the series on their home court and be back in the ECF once again.
It was all his mistake in the crucial seconds of the game.

1st - he was blocked by Holiday
2nd - ball was stolen by Holiday.

That sequence made the Celtics loss the game, their effort are gone because they need to win 2 games to be the winner of the series, and it's tough because game 6 is on the Bucks home court.
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers - 2nd round (Let's discuss) on: May 12, 2022, 08:52:14 PM
The Miami Heat did not give me any confidence even though they had some successful results in the regular season as well. I still haven't forgotten what happened between Butler and Erik Spoelstra during the season. Considering the increase in the 76ers' performance after Joel Embiid's return, I think the 76ers will go to the next round.
Yup, I agree about that! Butler may have been helpful to the team but coach Spoelstra don't deserve the be disrespected nor treated like that. Butler should know his limits because he is really nothing with Erik's rich minds behind their games. The Miami Heat's star is throwing the teams record by his actions and I can see that the Sixers will always try and dominate them each game now that they are back healthy.
They still have no answer on Embiid, I have a reason to believe that Embiid will still dominate in game 5 and 76ers will have another win. As what I have read, NBA would like to see Embiid and Harden in the ECF than seeing the Heat or Butler which are not so popular, so I think 76ers will do the business right.

Also, when Embiid was out, everyone was betting on the Heat, so probably Vegas is just trying to collect money from the public.
They really made a big mistake on Game 5 because they are pouring too much attention to Tyler Herro and getting him guarded by two players instead of distributing the man power to guard each player especially Butler. Not sure either why Embiid didn't contribute well for the team because it's like he was really exhausted already and the rest of the team got poor FG. I hope they could survive the series because they are now in the verge of getting eliminated on their own homecourt in Philly.

Now is the time to correct their mistake if they still want to stay in the series. I have a feeling that we will be seeing a game 7, 76ers just have to win game 6 and all their mistakes are already corrected. If we see a game 7, I don't think a blowout win by either team is going to happen, it should be a close game up to the last seconds.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 12, 2022, 12:21:11 PM
The issue starts on the event handle by the higher person in the world of PH sabong which is some of the sabogero/Gambler are getting missing that's why the president makes a ban with the use of this game its just a casual game before that people keep enjoying but recently they see that its like an easy money and does not paying tax at all of the games and the people of the PH are getting addicted that causes their assets and money losses i guess President Duterte makes this a good move to prevent people wasting too much not productive in this game.
That concerns a lot to the President I'd say since this is just the incident that happen where lot of missing person was gone in just a day then just found dead with lots of gunshots on their bodies. I think it was a good call from the President to do his duty for his people and besides if the virus is contained a lot of people will enjoy the traditional cockfighting they always love to attend if the government prioritize the containment. Is just around the corner I guess.
Well, we think of it as a precautionary measure taken by the President to prevent more people from getting addicted. Traditional cockfighting games can indeed easily get people addicted and waste too much money and these precautions are expected to help people to abandon traditional cockfighting. But don't forget that this traditional game of cockfighting can be played in many places so the President should really give instructions to his subordinates to find those places and arrest those who are still playing the game.
Cock fighting is not illegal in the Philippines as long as it's done in a license venue, but we should not generalize the cock fighting as only the online cock fighting was stopped, however, under the new presidency, maybe it's possible for them to operate again.
1691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 11, 2022, 11:36:26 PM
Great start by the Bucks so far, end of 1st quarter, 28-26 is the score.
Though it's already a physical game but they were still able to achieve a high scoring game (so far).

Though on the road, Bucks are still competing well unlike in the West where the home teams dominate all the time. (except for the Memphis vs Warriors series).
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 11, 2022, 11:19:50 PM
He did get an attention based on this two last fights, a come from behind win against Ceja by KO and then he beat one of the longest reigning champion in this division, Russell Jr. But still he doesn't have that recognition that he deserves. Maybe if he can win via knock out here or maybe this fight turns out to be a brawl and Magsayo winning in the scorecard, maybe he will get the respect of the US audience just like what Pacman did years ago.

Slowly but surely Magsayo will get there.

What he just needs to do is to continue winning like what Pacquiao did.

And we should not even mention Pacquiao here as Magsayo has his own journey. Comparing their respective path seems not appropriate. Pacquiao is a rare piece in the PH since our boxes are usually just within Bantamweight and Featherweight but Pacquiao dominates up to Welterweight and Light Middleweight.



Magsayo has not experienced a defeat yet, but if he would, I hope he will still continue and learn from his mistakes. Pacman is a great boxer, he is not undefeated but people still see him as the better fighter compared to other undefeated fighters who have also retired already.

Quote
Magsayo will make his own name. Again as previously said here, he will defeat Rey Vargas and I'm sure of that.
I believe he will win but I'm not 100% sure with that.
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 11, 2022, 03:13:06 PM
They already win one game at Memphis backyard with Ja Morant playing. And they way they should their pose last game, Grizzlies will need a lot of help, someone will have to step up and have big numbers otherwise if Curry and Thompson and Poole started hot in the first quarter. It will be hard to do catchup because the team knows very well how to protect their lead in the closing minutes.
Grizzlies are doing their best they can to have a chance to win here but they need to be more consistent with their playing and strategies because as we can see in the past games the lead is not that huge aside from a game 3, and they can get that win if they focus on the game. Better not to let the top players of Warriors to have a good game in the first half or else, their series will end now. It's also unfortunate to loss your key player, this will be a big challenge for Grizzlies to stay alive, but I think Warrios will be more serious in the next game, they want to proceed on the next round already.

I think they are focus on the game, it's that the Warriors are very experience in this kind of close game. While Morant is injured, the Warriors wasn't able to get advantage because they trailed most of the game.

But as I have said, their experience let them finished and take a big W. So Memphis back is against the wall and we don't know if they can response because it seems that the Warriors is eager to end the series.

Memphis might still thinking the opportunity they wasted in game 4, if they won that game, they should not feel the pressure of winning the game tomorrow because they will be eliminated if they lose. Memphis is a good team, they are capable of winning even without Morant, so I think they'll play harder tomorrow, but like you said, Warriors will used their experience to close the series.
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA _ Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks - 2nd round on: May 11, 2022, 02:51:53 PM
Seems like the Suns are ready to move to the next round.  Luka got a little help here and there this series, but it's still pretty clear that without a dominant second scorer this team is going to struggle in the postseason.  The next game should be a good one as Dallas has their backs to the wall, but I think they're just overmatched.  I'm expecting a Suns vs Warriors Western Conference Finals, and with the Warriors healthy (more or less) this year, we'll likely see the series we should have seen last year.  That matchup will probably be the best of the postseason unless we get a Bucks/Warriors Finals matchup, which right now seems more likely than not.

The pressure is always on Luka since his team mates is very inconsistent on scoring. It's good that Brunson finally helping Luka but in exchange was the rest of the team is playing very awful on Suns home court. Maybe we can see some do or die game once the game fly back to Dallas since Mavs is strong when they have there home support. I notice how Ayton come bqck strong on this game. Suns is very strong when Ayton finally giving some contribution in offence and defence.
Yeah, Finney-Smith didn't have the usual good shooting night. It was only Brunson and Luka who did most of the scoring in this game. Finney-Smith 8 points and Reggie Bullock 0 and Dinwiddle 2 points. That is no support, they just had a bad shooting night overall. Booker exploded for 28 points and CP3 with 10 assists.

Dallas are good at home, but if they would remain like that, they would still lose in the series. Going back to their home court, they need to defeat the Suns by a huge margin so they will have the momentum in game 7 and they can match well the Mavericks.

In that case, I might wait for game 7 before I will place my bet on the series. Though it's a trend I don't trust the Mavericks will win and push the series to game 7 as the Suns would like to finish the series so they could rest early. CP3 has not exploded yet, both 2 games in the road are not good for him, so I'm expecting he will have a good game in game 6.
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 11, 2022, 02:05:53 PM
Now that Embiid seems to be healthy enough to carry the 76ers, I wouldn’t put it past them to make it to the Finals. I like the Embiid/Giannis matchup and hope we get to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also hoping we see a Warriors/Suns matchup in the West. I like Embiid and the Sixers though. I think they’ve got a decent shot at winning it all if Embiid can continue getting healthier. I really feel like the Bucks/Sixers/Warriors are the only teams left capable of winning the championship at this point with the Bucks still being the defending champions and team to beat.

Yeah, but it will take a toll on Joel to win against the Heat. Miami is the top seed, it will be a big upset if they didn't win their series agains the 76ers here.

For the Bucks vs Celtics, starting to look good for Celtics after that huge victory against Giannis to even up the series. So still very hard to predict if we are going to see Embiid/Giannis in the finals for the East.

Miami just took another win at home, making it harder to predict to who will be the winner of this series.
The game will be host back to sixers and Embiid will try to win to push the series in a do-or-die game. It would be very interesting
If they will be able to manage to win and try to upset the top seeder from the East. Though seems that the Heat already found the
best system to limit all Sixes stars.

Sixers looks like the same team the Heat beat in game 1 and 2, and even worst.
home court is a big factor in this series, they are dominating the home court, so I hope that sixers will even the series and we will have a close game 7.

The other side of East series, Boston, will try to protect a home court advantage here, after beating bucks at home and ties the series
now they are the one who will try to take the lead if they will win their upcoming game..

We will see if Celtics will be able to lead the series tomorrow, it's also a tough challenge as Bucks (defending champion) is a good team defensively.
1696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 10, 2022, 09:38:35 PM
Magsayo should be prepared enough for this battle so that he could have a chance to win. Although surely he would do that because the fight is still far ahead. Hopefully, his team would focus on his weaknesses to be able to improve it. His footworks, speed, and precision must be taken into consideration knowing his opponent is also a challenging one. This match would be something to look forward to most especially for their fans.

It's hard to think that Maysayo won't prepare enough for this match.

He will surely dedicate all his time and effort to become much stronger on the day of the fight. He is getting new achievements in every fight and that's because of his seriousness in training while at the same time, putting a 100% dedication to winning.

As I previously said, just wait guys until Magsayo destroys Vargas on the ring.

I'm sure he can defend his title and will remove the doubts of anyone about his strength.
The good thing about Magsayo is that he is not into talking or getting in someone's to destroy his psyche, he just let his actions do the talking instead of having so much exposure and underestimating his opponents. This time he is against a Mexican boxer who also didn't tasted any loss in his whole career,

He is a humble fighter though he loves his friend Casimero who is a known trash talker, good thing he did not learn how to trash-talk. Magsayo just needs to continue training, and improve what needs to improve so he will be able to win his first title defense.

Quote
Magsayo surely knows the gravity of what Vargas can do especially that the latter have that height and reach advantage.
This cannot be neglected, relying on his power alone might not help him win the fight.

Dallas surprise me.

I see that many have become strong locals, but we'll see how it goes

Yes, Dallas even the series, and it was all a dominant win by them.

Odds have changed again, with the loss of the Phoenix Suns, Warriors are now back to the number 1.

warriors 3.15
suns 3.90

Congrats to Dallas Mavericks, Finally Brunson showed up and bring his A game in the game.
Big win by the Dallas Mavericks, they bounce back strong and has dominated the Suns to get their 1st win in the series.

It was a low scoring game and I like the kind of defense Dallas used in this game.

Good balance for Suns but Mavs had a decent shooting percentage, especially for Brunson who scored 28 points in the game.
Well, it's their homecourt and I guess it's expected. They need to tie the series at their homecourt as well, they need to do what the Phoenix did when they defended their home. I think that's the scenario I am expecting here and if by chance I bet later on, I bet it for the Dallas to win. Looks like another star in the making.

They have the advantage but not everyone is expecting them to win as they are not even a heavy favorite in game 3. They opened as underdog and the final spread was -1.5 for Mavs, and that line tells that people are still thinking that Suns could beat the Suns on the road, like what they did last playoffs against the Nuggets.
