1681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: October 26, 2022, 10:26:45 AM
is the vote real? that is landslide? voting 19 out of 20 for casimero ? is this how popular this boxer in our days now? well I also voted for him and i love it seeing another Filipino Boxer to take step forward to what Manny Pacquiao had already attain.

John Riel is more popular boxer as compare to Akaho, majority of us never heard of him before. He might be good, but he is not on our radar. As compare to Casimero who has been tearing the division winner the belt and knocking down his opponent. It's just very unfortunate that we will not see him fight the Monster.

but the problem here is that about Casimero having no activities these past months , maybe he needs more exposure and open training for more popularization , this will add confidence for Him to win this fight.

Ring rust, everyone has to go to this. It's just a matter on how boxers are going to shake it off. And most likely, when Casimero's experience, he might likely start slow in this fight but eventually find his rhythm and this could end up to be a very good fight to watch as this could be war in his first fight at 122 lbs.

It's better if the casino stop to add faucet from top crypto and just use testnet coin or coin without any value at all, so if there's a gambler who want to test the casino, they can use that and it's wasting times if they play with worthless coin. This will prevent about faucet and bonus farming from those fraudster who want to take advantage about faucet and bonus. I think few casinos already using their own coin without any value to test their casino.

And I think that's what the casino is doing now, there are no more faucet claiming unlike before wherein in every hour you can claim and then play, and for some, they created multiple accounts and abuse it.

So casino's now are very clever and it we can find one, for sure they have place some safety nets so that no one can take advantage and abuse their system. Casino's need to be one step of the game hear.

Again, if this will cornered media attention in your attention in your country, then for sure the companies should be meted out with penalties or worst even the owner should be put to jail because of the way they handled the situation and not giving out the pay to the winners.

And for the person, vindication will come and it will be a bitter sweet. Hopefully though, there will be no free loaders as for sure his relatives will suddenly comes out and ask for free money because of his winnings.

It is weird that they are not telling you why you are banned specifically, but just give you a broad description from their ToS.  Roll Eyes  Did they tell you specifically.... or are you withholding information from us?

Usually casino will not give those users the specific reason why a certain account is ban.

Some people create duplicate Alt accounts to misuse bonuses, so you might have created another account before and forgot about that.. and their team might have linked that account to this account ...and now they blocked this account, because they think that you are misusing the bonuses.  Huh

And recently, we have seen a lot of accounts accusing casino's of non payment. And some have been settled right away, but the majority is that when showed with evidence, it is most likely the they have exploited the system of the casino with multiple account or has violated a very clear ToS.

Goodluck to the OP making his Scam Accusations and see who is telling the truth here.
1685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 24, 2022, 11:55:18 AM
I think they are destined to fight, no matter how Inoue will evade Casimero, the time will come when he will have no option but to fight Casimero. If he really is a real champion, he should fight anyone who likes to challenge him as long as the fighter is eligible to fight. Casimero also has to make sure that he will not make stupid mistakes again so he will continue to be successful in this higher division.
Inoue is not really afraid of anyone on his division and I am sure that he will be willing to fight Casimero in the future if they are still in the same division, it is just that Casimero has made too many mistakes on his career as a boxer and his personal life that it has stopped at the moment any possibly to see the two of them going at each other with everything they have, but there is no need to be worried because sooner or later they will face each other.

Yes, I don't think Inoue is scared of Casimero. It's a shame their scheduled bout was canceled due to the pandemic. Inoue wants to become undisputed and would've met Casimero if the latter remained disciplined and determined to boxing. Although I disagree with the way Casimero was stripped of his WBO belt, I do admit that he did many wrong decisions including his personal life that ruined his championship reign. I am also starting to doubt his ability to win a 4th division belt at 122 due to his size. If he is disciplined and still determined, he should stay at 118 and make the weight.

His age as well, he is already 32 years old and I would say lost at least a year because of his weight and other personal issues and wrong decision in his career. Maybe he was really carried away when he become a champion and then started winning and started to get a lot of fans.

I guess we can't disagree with the way he was stripped, it was his second time already. The first time he was given the benefit of the doubt by the WBO with stern warning. But in the supposedly second fight, he was caught by BBBoC and obviously he was still overweight and trying to get that excess pounds near the fight date.
1686  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hidden Gems on: October 24, 2022, 11:29:45 AM
What are some hidden gems you guys know of? Solid crypto projects that have a great product but haven't really marketed themselves

Why not look for Metaverse project? majority thinks that this could be big in the future and many are betting on it.

The big problem with hidden gems is that, of course, they are hidden meaning they can appear to be out of our radar and then we just learned that something burst out of the seam and become popular. I would say that it would be the same thing that happened with APTOS as I never got into it so I failed to be a part of its testnet bounty campaign. Now, scouring the internet especially the crypto-based sites and forums can be a tedious process and if we have to join all that come our way then we need more than 24 hours a day for that. Sometimes I just realize that things actually boils down to luck...being at the right place at the right time. Good luck on finding the gems you are looking for.

And that is the thing though, I mean you really need to have a good sense and skills on what or where to find this hidden gems. And it's really very different, you have to spend more time digging, and it's not a sure fire formula to find this gems. So there is also some element of luck to be able to give this projects that will give you that X amount of returns in the next bull run.
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A disheartening true life winning story on: October 24, 2022, 10:14:09 AM


Can this guy win the case?
Has anyone experienced not being paid for their winning for real?
Why would they take your big money but refuses to pay big winning?
What could be done to curb this cheating permanently in gambling?

Is there a link or a screenshot of the story this is the first time I heard of such, it will definitely ruin the lottery company for such a poor alibi, he will definitely win the case and he can also ask the company to pay the attorney's fee, I don't know the lottery in that country but all the lottery I know about, they are under the jurisdiction of consumer board and they are obliged under the law to pay their winners, he should not accept a settlement fee because that's not his fault but the lottery company.

Yeah, would like to see which country is this one, because it seems that there are corruption with the lottery office. If this is government mandated lottery then they should pay the winner, no if or but.

And why are they offering him that money in the first place? they should give him full credit if by chance he really won fair and square.

So of course we are in the side of the man and hopefully he will get his full price.
1688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: October 23, 2022, 05:42:04 PM
At least Terence Crawford won't be vacant this year regardless of who's the opponent.

Well, that's what he wanted to be this year, stay busy, and so wanted to fight in November with Spence. But it's obvious that the fight is not pushing, he chooses a boxer that his not known in the US soil but has some solid power.

Since the fight against Spence is not gonna happen this year, how about some warm-ups before it might happen next year.

Just enjoy the fight guys without being bitter if it's a cherry-pick or not. It's just clear that before moving up, he is really eager to fight Spence no matter what.

Still hoping that the fight is going for next year.And it should be in 147 lbs because they have all the belts here.

Yeah, hopefully David Avanesyan will show up something in this fight and at least give Crawford a tough fight or even see if he can caught him up with his power and see how Crawford will react and adjust.
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 23, 2022, 05:26:31 PM
He is just 27 right now, unless he gets injured that will heavily affect his game, I think he will break that record. We will see how far his duo with Jammal Murray will take them. I hope they won't end up like Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert that got disbanded without anything to show off. We saw last year that even without Jammal, Jokic was still able to carry the team into playoffs. Jammal now just has to get back his rhythm and chemistry with the team and they can shoot for at least WCF. I know they can because they have enough experience to at least get that far.
Yeah, that was a hell of a ride for Gobert and Mitchell and yet they didn't achieve the goal that the Jazz is trying to achieve.

Yes, that chemistry didn't work, we may have to point it to either one of them, but now they are no longer team mates so we will see how they will do in their new teams. And so far they are doing good.

The good part about the Nuggets is it's not just Jamal Murray and Jokic anymore, there's a rising star in their midst Michael Porter Jr.
His "back injury" really made a number on his rising career but he has returned and it's looking better.
5 of 10 in the three-point line against the Warriors.
Repeated it against the Thunder with 5 of 10 too.
IMO, that's a good sign as Jokic will now have different options to pass the ball to.

Yes, initially we were wondering what happen to Porter Jr early last season because his numbers suddenly drop, but now it was due to his back injury. So hopefully he is back 100% healthy and so is Jamal Murray. That is already a version of Nuggets big 3 and then they have Gordon as well.
1690  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the Mt. Gox coins affect Bitcoin’s price in August? on: October 23, 2022, 05:11:34 PM
However, I somehow see all these "Mt.Gox money will flood the market" news mostly in times of uncertainty, hence it's imho more about manipulating the market than actually something happening on Mt.Gox story.

People simply interpret information in the wrong way, regardless of the fact that it is very clearly shown to them that they are panicking for no reason. Even if one day Japan's fast-paced bureaucracy decides to start paying out, not everyone will get paid at the same time, nor will everyone get Bitcoin considering that there are options for paying in fiat and even in one shitcoin.

So we got an answer to the question regarding August, September and to some extent October, and now we just have to see if someone will pull this story again in November/December...

Perhaps when the news surface again, we might see the same FUD in November/December. Specially if during that time the price goes on another nose-dived and hit lower lows. And so there could still be manipulation from behind using the old and recycle Mt Gox coins.

But of of now, the price is moving sideways, no one is over-reacting to the news in August because as far as I can remember we have the same movement already.
1691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why ETH price keeps decreasing? on: October 21, 2022, 09:53:27 PM
The price is decreasing due to this major reason.
The demand of the coins are comparatively less. If you visit an exchange then you will find that there are more sell orders then buy orders for ETH. This is happening due to the demand decreasing and there are good amount of ETH present in the market to buy/mine . So when the demand will increase again, the price will also go due to fix amount of supply of ETH. And this will happen very soon, as ETH has very big marketcap.

Yes, everything is based on the law of supply and demand, that is the basic of all economics. But if you look closely, one reason is that we are in the bear market, everything is done from their last all time high, including bitcoin.

And so even with their merging news, which put the price prediction to at least $2,200 didn't happen because investors are not willing to take a risk. There is also the recession that everyone is feeling and then still the war in the background. And so there are a lot factors that really contributed to the current bear market that we are seeing.
1692  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for October on: October 21, 2022, 09:36:15 PM
About 10 days we will leave October, and the current price is around $ 19K and there is a chance to go down below $ 19K, if it does not rise immediately I am sure the price will continue to fall until the end of the year, but as an investor then the best thing is don't panic .
Don't panic here, it should be straightened out as never sell an asset when the price is still cheap or when it's down. Because true investors who always love their assets will obviously keep every valuable asset they are in bear conditions and they will survive not to sell their holdings in bad conditions like now.

Well it move down a bit, but it seems to have recovered about $19k again. And yes, we don't need to panic, this is the final stretch of the year and we might see the same pattern till December and I will say that if we maintain at this level, it's already a big win for us. I mean there is a speculation that we might see another low, but so far we haven't and hopefully we can maintain it that way.

And looking at the votes, it is very very close, 30% split between the 3 options. So even in the poll members are still in the middle. Maybe in December there could be a few % spike but that's it.
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 21, 2022, 09:19:02 PM
Heck of a game for the Bulls to start off the season with such a big win over one of the NBA's best teams, the Miami Heat.  DeMar DeRozan had one hell of a game, and picked things up right where he left them off from last year...

I want Miami Heat to win but I didn't follow my earlier plan to bet on them. Chicago Bulls upgraded their line-up this season with Andre Drummond and Goran Dragic while Miami Heat lost P.J. Tucker. And I also expect Nikola Vucevic to bounce back strong this season after his numbers dropped down last season. It will be exciting how Chicago fares this season. Last season they were someone strong but they failed to win most of the time against the top teams. Now they have 2 new veterans and Dragic is very experienced in playoff games which is the most important of all games. 

Yeah I guess I’d agree that the Chicago Bulls upgraded their roster a bit, but I don’t think they upgraded enough to make a big difference in terms of being able to legitimately compete for a championship. The Bulls biggest issues right now are of course number one far and away getting Ball healthy and number to getting Lavine healthy. Not sure what the heck is going on with Lavine now, but he’s missing yet again another game tonight. Not a great way to start the year.

I also agree, the Dragic acquisition is more of like trying to get get someone to help Kobe White in the guard position but nowhere a replacement to Ball. Their big 3 will have to be present and be healthy to help the Bulls in another tough Eastern conference. So there is no huge upgrade by the team, but more of a experiment and see how far they can go with their latest addition. It will be a battle now as who is going to be the second center to replace Vucevic, it is going to be Drummond or will they still rely on Jones. And then Dragic, getting minutes here and there.
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you win big in casino, would it be publicized? on: October 21, 2022, 08:25:11 PM
I'm not really sure if it is being publicized on not. In land base casino's I don't see names, I just saw that in this day, this x amount of money has been won, no names.

For the lottery, we might see the images of individuals claiming the prize money with that huge check with pictorial purposes but their faces are blurred out. But I do agree that the names shouldn't be made public because it is very dangerous for the individual. He/she could be a target for a kidnap for random, so yes, possible of physical harm.
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 21, 2022, 12:19:53 PM
Westbrock had 2 points in 23 minutes ? What a joke. How can they allow this ? They are being paid with millions and he cannot trow and make some buckets ? I think the problems in Lakers teams are going deeper between them and I think the only solution for this team to move on , is to let some players to leave as soon as possible because if they stay in this format , play-offs are a very hard achievement.

Not sure how to answer your question, but yeah, Westbrook is not really looking good with the Lakers since he joined them. I guess there are too many alphas on Lakers.

Both good games last night, Giannis still showing his form against the Sixers and almost got a triple double.

While the Clippers looks sharp against the Lakers although there are some moments that the Lakers took the lead.

Westbrook is the most expensive player of the Lakers depth. He is really the guy and not James. But this is James fault am I right? He demanded at the Lakers management to ship Westbrook back in the day? And because it was a disappointment, and James cannot be fired, it was the coach that received the punishment.


Second season in lakers prove that he's not really worth the money and his performance is totally awful seeing how perform today. For sure he will be the main focus of bashing now since he doesn't improve from last season and it became more worse at the moment. For sure for the salary for by Westbrook and to his bad performance shown for sure Lakers will get a huge problem to get rid of him since for sure no team will gonna accept a problem to their team.

I think the problem is the Lakers coaching staff, they were not able to manage Westbrook well that's why his stats have dropped. Let us not forget that Westbrook will be soon a hall of famer, and he was very impressive playing with the Rockets and the Wizards, it's only with the Lakers that he struggled, so I believe he is not the problem.

It's very different though with OKC, Houston and Wizards, he only got one team mate that complement with him and so he has a  lot of time to score and distribute and rebound the ball, you know, to pad his statistics for triple double.

But with the Lakers, he is not the first or second option, because it is Lebron and Anthony Davis.

Yes, it might be the coaching staff, but at least partly the blame is also on WB for his poor performance like errors and air ball.
1696  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Metaverse still a thing on: October 20, 2022, 08:55:24 PM
I've heard of news not so long ago about Decentraland, one of the biggest and most funded metaverse projects out there having a measly daily active users of less than 40. On the other hand, Meta, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's answer to Metaverse has been receiving flak in multiple aspects of his still in-progress creation. I also noticed that less and less projects include implementation of their project or a fundamental of it in the Metaverse as a form of future-proof answer. So this begs the question, is Metaverse still the future? is it just a fever dream we once had that we are now waking up on?

It's a big thing when we are in the pandemic, I mean people doesn't want to interact "physically" and so this project was born out of that necessities. So I would agree that the hype has been going down in recent months specially when people can not go out and be big in the norm.

And yes Meta have been losing billions already and yet they don't even have a prototype. But we don't know if they will continue with the project, it seems that they already taken the risk so they might as well continue to developed in the next couple of years and maybe we can see if it will be the future or not.
1697  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BSV the end. on: October 20, 2022, 08:35:19 PM
i dont know why people keep discussing this coin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148909.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133327.0

in this subforum alone there is dozen those are two example


i guess a miner holding 80% of the hash rate can do whatever they want to, including denying people the right to spend their BSV.

and yes if you hold more than 50% hashrate you can pretty much do anything on your own chain

Question is why would anyone want 50% of the bsv chain lol.  I mean I guess for the lols but that hashpower can be better spent elsewhere no?  And if this really is the case it should likely be just as the title says, the end. 

It's either the miner wanted to proved his point or he wants to wreck havoc to a already dying fork. And definitely it's the end for BSV, I mean who has bought this coin anyways? it could be there is, but it is on the minority.

And we have seen some BSV thread about what is really going on behind.

For the miners who capture that 80%, perhaps he is just laughing and waiting for them to have a BSV fork, lol.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you get over a bad loss? on: October 20, 2022, 04:28:30 PM
Nothing I guess, although I will have difficulty sleeping thinking about that bad loss, but once I got my rest, the next day I will be normal.

Of course, I will have to go back and see what's wrong with me or why I didn't quit that early when I still have the money and chooses to play for me and be greedy. Just some lessons for me to learn and then life goes on and never look back at that bad lose. But I understand what others may have to go through before moving forward after suffering a defeat and a huge one.

Los Angels Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The Stake odds for this game are 2.90 for the Lakers While 1.44 for the Clippers, Reggie Jackson will be playing but I think for just a short while, or is he 100% OK, Westbrook seems really focused lately but then again I never think if he's going to be consistent now, but the Clippers now have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the team but does their chemistry could fit the bill against the Lakers, but for this game, I am going with the Los Angeles Clippers,

These odds for the upcoming game are quite expected, considering the Lakers and Clippers met each other 4 times last season, and the Lakers have never won. So I also expect the Clippers will win tonight. As you said, the Clippers have healthy Leonard, George, and Wall, which means they will be an even tougher opponent for the Lakers. Nevertheless, tonight's game should be interesting anyway.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the Clippers healthy with Leonard back in the line up and so with the new addition, John Wall. Lakers have been struggling in this pre game so maybe it will continue this way with their Los Angeles rivals.

And looking at the odds, the Clippers are favorite so that won't be a problem for NBA bettors.

I'm more interested to see Kawhi Leonard, hopefully he will be healthy throughout this season so that the Clippers have a better chance and not be in the bottom half in the West.

As a responsible gambler, I know we don't let gambling change our lifestyle. If today is your luckiest day ever in gambling,on your first game you won the sum of $50 000.
First, will you quit the game immediately and withdraw all your funds or will you play for awhile because you are excited.

I wish this will happen to me, so my reaction will be, to withdraw majority of the money so that I can enjoy it. But then leave some on the casino and continue to play at some point in time.

Second, will you use this money to upgrade your lifestyle i.e living big and showing off,even relocating to a better environment and forget about your old friends in your former neighborhood ? Or will you just remain quiet,happy and living a your normal way of life but investing the money into something profitable without telling anyone ?

To be honest, it's not that huge money, yeah, you can buy a house in our country or even a car, but the problem is, can you sustain your lifestyle if you change it just because you won $50k.? I guess you need to be smart, maybe invest some of that money to crypto but I don't think it will completely change your lifestyle.
