Sibak yung Lakers kinapos pero lumaban naman kaya lang wala ng sapat na oras nung nag subok silang humabol
Wala, kawawa talaga Lakers ang layo ng gap kahit sabihin na nakaabot sila sa lead ng Nuggets, sobrang obvious ng laban at wala talaga. Kung sa performance lang, ang layo ng galaw pero tignan natin sa game 2 bukas. Sa ngayon, dito muna tayo sa Heat at Celtics.
2nd quarter palang at hindi naman malayo ang lamang pero lamang pa rin Celtics ng 10 at 2 minutes and 23 seconds pa. Ganda ng laruan ng Celtics, synchronize at alam nila mga roles nila.
Di tulad ng laro kahapon, sobrang one sided lang.

Aba, nadale ng Heat yong Celtics kanina ah, hindi ako nakapusta online kasi plano ko na magmasid lang muna pero inalok ako ng katrabaho ko ng +7 daw yong Heat, mabuti at kinagat ko hahaha.

Grabe yong ginawa ng Heat sa third quarter ah, 46 points ang pinuntos at ang importante ay naagaw nila yong lamang, halimaw talaga tong play-off Butler na to. Nagdadalawang isip pa rin ako sa Heat pero sa pinkakita nila kanina ay sa Heat na ako pupusta pero yong may handicap para hindi tayo kabahan.

Apir tayo dyan kabayan dahil naka chamba na naman tayo hehe. Nag live bet din ako kanina during halftime at di ko na pinalampas ang pagkakataon habang @ 4.00 ang odds ng Heat. Napalagay ako ng wala sa oras dahil sa nakikita ko ay may mai sasagot din talaga sila sa bawat tira ng Celtics kaya kinagat ko na ang odds kahit di ako gaanong sure.

Lakers +5.5 @1.93 vs Nuggets, sigurado akong may adjustment ang Lakers kung paano bantayan si The Joker kaya malamang ay dikit ang labang ito bukas, tatapon ko na rin ng kaunti sa ML @2.80, baka makadale tayo dyan.

Gusto ko to kabayan, kuhang kuha mo talaga ang naiisip ko hehe. Same handicap, same odds at ML din @ 2.94 kasi malay natin diba. Good luck!

Kaswerte mo talaga parang hindi kapanipaniwala yung naging conversion ng Heat nung third quarter parang sobrang ganda ng ikot ng bola kahit pa sabihin nating naka focus kay Jimmy at Bam yung opensa pero pag atake nila biglang may magiging open at dun napupunta yung bola para libreng maitira.

Tignan nga nating yang handicap ng Lakers kung tama yung assessment nyong dalawa baka dikit or posible rin na maitabla ng Lakers yung serye pero syempre hindi rin pedeng walang adjustment na gawin ang Nuggets..

Grabe naman tong si Murray, sinira ang araw natin kabayan hehe. Nagpaulan ng tres sa fourth quarter kaya nakahabol at nanalo pa ang Nuggets pero di bale kasi panalo naman yong isang bet ticket natin na +5.5, muntikan na din yon pero oks na kahit papaano ay may profit tayo kahit kaunti.

Tingin ko ay very beatable naman yong Nuggets kung di lang or kaunti lang yong pumapasok na tres nila sa fourth, sigurado akong talo ng Lakers yong Nuggets kaya sure ako na sa game 3 ay may pag-asa pa tong Lakers na makaisa.

Heat +9.5 @1.90 vs Celtics

Todo na to hehe, instant fan ako ni Butler kaya hanggang game7, sa Heat ako tataya pero with handicap.

Diba haha, buti nalang nakapalag pa yung handicap natin dahil yung tapon natin sa moneyline ay sumablay. Konting profits lang pero okay na din kaysa olats ang araw  Grin
Akala ko pa naman na makaka tabla yung Lakers sa serye dahil ang ganda ng laro nila mula 1st hanggang 3rd quarter, pero nung nag umpisa ang 4th ay nagsimula na rin ang kanilang kalbaryo dahil hinabol na ng Nuggets ang gap at nagpaulan ng tres kahit saan.

Heat +8 @ 2.13 vs Celtics tapos taponan ko na din ng moneyline @ 4.44 .. Konti lang para walang magsisisi kung sakaling makasilat ulit ang Heat haha.

Good luck!

A rematch won't be reasonable enough because KSI did some dirty tricks to Fournier that somehow made him the winner of this bout, if this will be reviewed, I reckon that KSI should be granted a disqualification and the fight will not be listed as valid. This kind of actions should not be taken lightly because Fournier could've been lying right now in the hospital fighting for his own life if he has received a much serious damage.

And for KSI calling and challenging Tommy Fury to fight him next, I doubt that the latter will give him some time nor entertain him after what he has done that gave an embarrassment to the sport.

Well, I think many will agree that it was really the elbow that has done Joe Fournier, yes it should be a disqualification for KSI, but again if the Referee didn't see it it was a clean right hand for KSI, but the announcer was clearly shouting that it was a clean Elbow but in the midst of the fight even JJ or KSI isn't really aware what has already hit Fournier or maybe he is really just denying it, and in the heat of the fight I think he is more surprising that it has happened,

And for calling out Tommy Fury like that I really think that Tommy Fury is a step up for KSI, even for Jake Paul, I just really think that these guys isn't really ready for a Tommy Fury,

It's true that the referee didn't saw it as he was not in a certain angle when that particular incident happened but the judges, announcers and the people sitting on the front row saw it go down. That alone makes a valid point on why the fight should be investigated further and be reviewed by the board because if they just let this slide issue slide, it will have a negative outcome towards them instead of making KSI pay for what he has done.

My take on bitcoin in 2023 by the way it bought and was pumping pumping and pumping was like it will never stop. I thought it was my year to make my money and keep much of Bitcoin in my wallet. But the dullness of over 2 months has changed my mind. The scenario poured coldness in my mind but again let me know that bitcoin behaves like an asset and asset has the time to buy and sell not the way I thought it will always be be buying.

I have waited for the price to reach $25k for me to start pumping my money, it never reach there. I grows impatient daily, I won't wait more than 1st of July, any price I see it is what I buy.

I don't like to sound desperate, do I sound desperate or determine to make money?

Bitcoin HODLing for years can not be a lost affair.

 

Being desperate is out of the question because we all are determined to make profits and money from our investments, if that sounds desperate to you, so be it. But you will just have be patient because there will be a time for you and don't be in a hurry like you're in a competition because you are not as that will just produce mistakes along the road. The only one you're competing with is your mindset, which is not really helpful in these times.

When Bitcoin will become stable currency?
Bitcoin will never become a stable currency. If Bitcoin becomes a stable currency then the popularity of Bitcoin will gradually decrease. People find this coin most suitable for trading and investing due to the volatility of Bitcoin market prices. I have invested in Bitcoin in anticipation that Bitcoin will become more popular in the future and the market will remain high. But if Bitcoin becomes a stable currency I will never hold Bitcoin as an investment. So everyone will be in the same situation as me if Bitcoin becomes a stable currency. So none of you imagine that Bitcoin will become a stable currency.

Exactly mate. If ever bitcoin will become a currency that will be used by a lot of people, which I doubt that it will indeed happen somewhere in the future, then I don't seriously think that it will remain as an asset that people are rooting for. Being a stable currency will just lose its popularity of being the most sought asset right now because nobody will buy it if it's volatility will come to an end. Anyway, I pretty much don't think that bitcoin will ever come to that situation.

Is it safe or dumb to use your Credit card for online gambling because of free bonus rewards on signup and initial 3 months purchase? Will you take such risks with your card for such rewards? A friend informed me that some casinos gives better reward if you have a credit card with high credit score at around 800, he mentioned how he make 200$ from Freedom Flex after using over 600$. He also mentioned other like capital one

What are the disadvantages of using a credit card on online casinos? Any? Would you dare do such to earn more money?
Personally, I wouldn't take that risk. Nowadays, we have plenty of crypto casinos available, so why expose your personal information by using a credit card? Instead of focusing on the bonuses or other incentives, it's crucial to consider the potential risks associated with sharing your credit card details.

~snip~
DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!
So, the issue you're facing is that the deposit you made is taking longer to confirm, but the gambling site has already credited the amount to your account. As a result, you were able to use it for gambling and you even won. However, since you can't withdraw the funds, you became tempted to continue gambling until you lost control and depleted your entire bankroll.

The thing is, not all gambling sites credit an amount to your balance before it is confirmed, typically requiring at least one confirmation. So, you were fortunate that the gambling site you used allowed it, as unconfirmed transactions can be canceled, and gamblers could potentially cheat in such situations.

Ultimately, it's important to remember that the issue lies not with instant withdrawals or slow withdrawal processing, but with a lack of discipline.

Did you guys watch the KSI versus Fournier fight? Another controversial ending in the world of boxing and the referee was in a blindside position that's why he didn't catch it. At least one of the judges should tell it to the referee before he counted to 10.
In the first round, Fournier was also complaining about the shot to the back of his head and then the push that made him fall, luckily the referee saw it and didn't count as a knockdown.
Whoever the committee on this fight should really try to review what happened there. It doesn't look like boxing but more like MMA.  Cheesy
And, it could be a dangerous thing that could send Fournier to the hospital because his eyes rolled after dropping on the canvas from an unexpected shot.
KSI now challenging Tommy Fury.
Nope, I think most users are watching Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio and Casimero vs Nghitumbwa, seems like KSI lost it's popularity or he was choose a wrong date.

Well if KSI did an illegal punch, it's not fair KSI won via KO, it's need to be revised or rematch. AFAIK shot back of someone head is also illegal too in MMA, so it's really a dirty play by KSI.

Tommy Fury was previously beat Jake Paul, obviously this fight could increase KSI's popularity in case if he win.

A rematch won't be reasonable enough because KSI did some dirty tricks to Fournier that somehow made him the winner of this bout, if this will be reviewed, I reckon that KSI should be granted a disqualification and the fight will not be listed as valid. This kind of actions should not be taken lightly because Fournier could've been lying right now in the hospital fighting for his own life if he has received a much serious damage.

Bawi tayo kabayan, maaga ang Game 7 ng Celtics vs Sixers ngayon dahil 3am ata magsisimula na.

Boston Celtics -6.5 @ 1.91

Congrats sa panalo mo kabayan, mukhang ikaw lang ata tong may magandang resulta sa betting sa conference semi-finals. Hindi na ako nag-abala pa dyan sa Celtics vs Sixers kasi nga unpredictable eh, baka madagdagan pa yong talo ko sa Warriors hehe. sa conference final nalang ako babawi.

Lakers vs Celtics sa finals, yan ang guston ng mga tao ngayon sa social media ehh ang Lakers medyo hirap yan sa Nuggets pero tingnan natin sa game 1 kung ano kulang nila at kung may palag ba sila sa kompletong Nuggets ngayon season, yong Celtics naman ay tingin ko kakayanin nila yong short-handed na Heat.

Post mo kabayan yong prediction mo para naman nasundan namin hehe.

Salamat kabayan hehe, sinwerte lang talaga kaya naman nagka profit pa sa huli Cheesy

Sumugal na ako sa Celtics last minute kasi halata naman talagang di sila kaya ng Sixers lalong-lalo na ngayon kasi unreliable na si James Harden, di mo malaman kung kailan sasabog at parang naging chamba nalang nga yung Game 1 niya kasi di na naulit.

Quote
Post mo kabayan yong prediction mo para naman nasundan namin hehe.

Los Angeles Lakers ML @ 3.05 , nag post na rin ako sa kabilang thread. Tingin ko naman ay kakayanin ng Lakers ang Game 1 kabayan at may chance din na di makakapag laro si Murray kaya nag moneyline na ako.
1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 16, 2023, 05:27:12 PM
Here is my pick.
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers‍ - Denver Nuggets (-6.5) @1.94
Over 220.5 @1.77 Good luck everyone.
This is like good bet but home games was likely nothing right now with most of the remaining teams, so my bet was for L.A. Lakers (+7.5) @1.81 and Under 223.5 @1.85. My bad for countering your picked bet though haha, I just like how it will play since this is Conference Finals and I think defense will be the key factor now for Lakers or both team.
I'll go with danherbias07 because I believe that the Lakers are currently receiving a lot of hype, and bettors will certainly take the handicap. Since this is the first game, the home team might start strong while the Lakers struggle to make adjustments. Therefore, I think the Nuggets might win game 1 in a blowout, and game 2 will be a close contest.
Hmmm that's understandable and I understand your view as well and Jokic is dominant almost every game, he either got double-double or a triple-double. My take was that a handicap at +7.5 for Lakers is a good choice considering I'm expecting it will be a close game, at least on my view, I could be wrong too.

That's a decent choice instead of grabbing the ML. We never know what might happen in this game, everything is just unpredictable in this phase.
As for me, I'd like to start this series with an adventure on my side so I will be taking the Los Angeles Lakers ML @ 3.05 vs Denver Nuggets.

Honestly, I'm not really sure on this bet because Jokic can be pretty hard to solve but I'm taking this chance because there is a slight chance that Jamal Murray might not play later because of an undisclosed illness but the league insured that this illness is not Covid related.

...but I'm sure that someday people will also realize how risky investing in altcoins is because investing in altcoins is high risk, and eventually they will choose btc as an option for their investment.

As from what people are saying, high risks; high reward. Altcoins may be riskier to hold compared to bitcoin but it can still be a profitable venture either if it's a long-term or short-term as long as you will pick the top working altcoins like ETH, BNB, etc.

Also, there's nothing wrong if we choose to hold altcoins as well because our portfolio is not really limiting to only one coin which is bitcoin. What I'm trying to say here is that bitcoin is truly a must sought coin these days but trying to hold other coins aside from bitcoin itself is really not a bad idea at all.
1712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: May 16, 2023, 04:33:42 PM
Recently, I've been wondering, and based on the people I live with, I'd say that only 20% of them know what cryptocurrency is.
Sometimes I ask my friend or colleague if he knows what Bitcoin is, and if they're young (20-35 years old), they say, "Yes, I've heard about it. But I don't know much about it."
If I'm talking to older people (40–60), mostly they don't know what it is.

We are living in a world of big changes in every aspect of life. But do you think it will be time when cryptocurrency will come into our lives and be normal for all people? Will people be able to trust crypto?

I'm wondering what your opinion is about this.

I think in some time people will trust in crypto. The digital money systems are developing fast, and decentralisation along with blockchain mechanism is the new step in digital banking. The question is will there be crypto-based fiats, or will crypto replace fiats... Also, the world's main fiat currencies inflation is something possible to happen soon, then crypto can be useful.
Soon enough, that will happen. I don't think that fiat will remain as it is in the future because considering the annual increase of inflations, it will open the eyes of the people who took a blind eye because of their trust towards government and for others as well who don't know yet the reality that they are facing as using fiats has been their life for decades already. As of now, everything is still on the process and cryptocurrency is not yet that known in the whole globe, but time will come that it will be used by many.

Maybe but I doubt that the latter will happen as crypto, and fiats are different and have their own utility.

Kind of a predictable game.  Everyone kept saying taytum is overated and then dude drops 50 in a game 7 do or die game.  There are players and then theor are special players who rise to the occasion.  I'd take this dude on my team any day any game.  I hope they take care of business with miami and expect them to.  Gonna be tough for the east to come out and win it this year the west just looks so top heavy dominant. 
Yes, this will be written forever in Tatum's resume.  Grin Like they said, stars are born in crucial moments and he just proved it by defeating the 76ers in a blowout game.
I am kind of sad for Embiid and Harden but I don't like what Embiid said during the post-game interview.
Quote
Me and James, we can't win alone. That's why basketball is played 5-on-5. We need everybody to find ways to be better.”
https://twitter.com/CBSSports/status/1657898259195604996?s=20
There's some truth about what he said but first of all the stars should be the ones leading the way, just like how Tatum did it. And, Tucker was actually stepping up his game by making 11 points in the first half only. Tobias Harris was also aggressive and so do Tyrese Maxey.
The problem is both Harden and Embiid are ball-hogging, they spent too much time either dribbling or finding a way to get in which will just lead to turnovers. Harden especially, whenever he is in the paint, he stops, and chokes.
I don't understand why Embiid said that, perhaps he is saving himself from the rants of their fans.
Embiid was just saying nonsense at all because he doesn't want to get all the blame on why they choked again in the 2nd round, just like what happened on their run last season's playoffs. He should be the one who will lead the game and prove the people that he is indeed deserving to have that MVP award and not Jokic, but that's just too much to ask for the Philly's big man.

He just proved to us that he's not really improving at all and that their present roster are just good for regular games and not in high pressure games like playoffs.

Quote

I wonder what did Maxey felt about this or how did he react because he surely gave the team his best so that he can contribute well. But for Embiid, that was nothing.

Congratulations to John Riel Casimero defeating Fillipus Nghitumbwa via decision to claim the WBO Global Super Bantam. Props to Nghitumbwa "the Energy" who really lives up to this code name. I can't believe this guy survived those power punches and combos from Casimero for 12 rounds, that's a lot of damage but he managed it. And also, I'm a little disappointed with the performance of Casimero he really needs to double up his training for his upcoming matches to shut up his critics. 

With that experienced fighting against a good and powerful fighter, Nghitumbwa will have a good future.

I guess it's not Casimero's fault it just so happened that the opponent are really strong and can absorb those solid combinations, Casimero' attacks shows that he's aiming to impress the fans but it didn't materialize as Nghitumbwa is not willing to give the fight as easy as it has been expected by most fans.

If he could learn for his mistakes maybe he have bright future since if he just maximize the opportunity where Casimero slowing down maybe the phase will be different. But he also slow down that's why he lost to the champ, Nghitumbwa need also to work with his stamina since he already have power. If he could improve and mix up speed and power then provably he will gain more potential with this.

Yes, he was already good enough in-terms of being durable in the middle of the fight and absorbing the opponents punches but he needed to have more than that because by the looks of it, he will never be in a situation where he can face any champion in the division right now as the boxers down the line will be enough to stop him from advancing towards the champion.

Anyway, for Casimero, he's becoming more and more used to his new weight class and I think he can still improve his performance on his way for the championship belt. He still got some room left before he can face one of the champions before one of them will unify it. Still rooting for him to have that chance especially now that he got successive wins.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 15, 2023, 07:27:26 AM
^^ Game 7 is not even close, yeah, the 76ers took lead in the second quarter, but the Celtics are not bothered by it and they keep coming back. And then they just needed one quarter to close it, because in the 3rd, they just allowed 76ers to just score 10 points. While they become hot on the 3 point line as everyone is hitting beyond the arc.

For me, Tatum and Jaylen Brown is the best duo in the league and it will take a lot from Miami to step either one of them.
And this time, the opposite thing will happen instead of the Heat advancing towards the Finals just like what happened in the Bubble. I know it is still early to make an assumption but looking at the Miami Heat's situation right now, they are currently undermanned, and their chances are not that good because only Butler and Adebayo are the remaining reliable players in the team. Strus, Robinson, Vincent and Lowry especially Love are not even stepping up to help their core to win some games meanwhile the Celtics here are different and young. If there will be an injury again from the Heat, it will decrease their chances heavily and that will put an advantage towards the Celtics.

Quote
The MVP for this season just had 15 points, another frustrating year for Joel, although he won the coveted MVP, his team will not advanced to the finals and fell short after taking a lead in this series.
Quite an embarrassing round for Joel Embiid after winning the most coveted MVP award, surely enough that Sixers fans are also not happy with the outcome because they end up choking again after pushing the Celtics to the edge. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic is averaging triple double.
1716  Economy / Economics / Re: How to spend money determines whether you can avoid unnecessary problems on: May 15, 2023, 06:33:43 AM
Life is all about choice. People tend to spend their money on what is important to them. But I totally agree with your examples on how people spend money on what they don't necessarily need. Recently, I was guilty of this wasteful spending. I did a monthly Netflix subscription and I just watched one movie for less than three hours because I had no time to watch movies. I regretted this financial waste and will never try it again.

Many people claim that their earnings is not enough but they can afford to buy several bottles of beer for friends in a bar. They would buy shoes or clothing that they don't even need. I have a friend that bought five pair of shirts and forget that he bought anything like that. He later saw the shirts wrapped inside his wardrobe after seven months. He doesn't really need them.

If you are a low or average income earners, the only way you can save is to spend on mostly basic needs and avoid spending for fun or pleasure. Food, clothing, housing and other important expenses should be paramount. Others can be set aside until ones income has been diversified or increased.

Yes you are right, some people pretend that they are financial week or they can't mange their needs with their basic income but actually they are not able to manage their money in right way . I have seen one of my collogue purchase E newspaper subscription  for 1 year which cost was around 1k but right after 2 weeks he was start having less interest on such news because of his personal work he had no time and latter on he regretted he have done waste of money but he never learn from mistake what he have done and at the end of the month he always have financial crisis.

The truth is these problems are so common, so common that we can still trace it back in the days of yore. It's not that we lack money because it doesn't really matter whether we are having a steady income of few thousands on a weekly basis or not, it's our discipline towards the money is the problem. We tend spend it like we have an endless source, only to find out that we're already out of it before the next pay slip comes.

I'm speaking from experience because I've been there and done that, but fortunately, I got out of that toxic situation and managed to get some help about how to end purchasing my nonsense needs.

Di ako sure kabayan kong mayroong history na din ang Golden State Warriors na mayroong 3-1 deficit. Sa pagkakaalam ko, sila ang lamang sa 3-1 nung panahong andun pa si LeBron sa Cavs at ang Warriors ay di pa naranasan ang sitawasyon na ito kung saan kailangan nilang makapanalo ng three straight games para mag advance mula sa series na ito.

Ganun padin ako kabayan, kabaliktaran ako kampi lalo na ngayon na do or die game na.

May history na yong Warriors kabayan, yong series nila between OKC Thunder noong nandon pa sina Westbrook at KD sa Thunder, down sila sa series na yong 1-3 pero nanalo pa rin sila pero ganon pa man ay ibang kalaban to pero para sa akin mas tough yong Thunder na tinalo nila noon kaysa Lakers ngayon (just my opinion).

Kaya maraming mag-aabang sa laban bukas na para bang ito na yong Finals sa NBA ngayong taon hehe.

Warriors ML @2.24 vs Lakers, sana may game 7 para naman gaganahan tayo lalo.

Naku baliktad na naman tayo ng taya kabayan haha pero good luck parin sa atin kabayan. Exciting tong game mamaya dahil nga parang NBA Finals na ito ngayong taon tapos tyempo pa naman na may pagtitipon kami ngayon sa bahay kaya malamang sa malamang ay magulo at masaya ang kalalabasan neto.

Lakers -3 @ 1.91 vs Warriors
Heat -5 @ 1.93 vs Knicks

Tingnan natin kung sino sa kanila ang mag a-advance, Lakers ba or Heat.

Congrats sa panalo mo sa Lakers kabayan, di pinalad ngayon yong Warriors na ma-extend ang series na to sa game 7, sa umpisa pa lang ng laro ay halata nang talo yong Warriors kasi yong mga open shot sa tres ay hindi pumapasok, mga limang sunod ata yon. Lebron James at AD ay maganda rin ang laro kaya deserve nilang maka-advance sa West Finals.

Yong taya mo sa Heat ay medyo minalas, anim sana yong lamang kung hindi pinabayaan ng Heat yong easy lay-up ni Brunso sa last seconds ng laro.

Interesting kaya tong taong to para sa NBA kasi yong Heat at Lakers na nakapasok sa conference Finals ay puro galing sa play-in, mala-cinderilla ang tema ba hehe.

Salamat kabayan! Napansin ko din kasi na di maganda ang naging run ng Warriors mula nung nagsimula ang playoffs, yung tipong imbis na ang hirap nilang talunin ay nagkakaroon pa sila ng tambak na talo mula Round 1 hanggang ngayon nga sa Round 2 kalaban ang Lakers. Yung dating form nila ay di na gaanong pansinin tapos si KT at Poole ay di rin maganda ang kanilang stats.

Bawi tayo kabayan, maaga ang Game 7 ng Celtics vs Sixers ngayon dahil 3am ata magsisimula na.

Boston Celtics -6.5 @ 1.91

These problems can be sorted out smoothly without having the creator's help, Satoshi Nakamoto.

I mean what is the use of the bitcoin's developing team right now if they can't even solve this kind of problem, moreover, we shouldn't forget that bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency which that means that Satoshi's role is already finished when he successfully created bitcoin and its blockchain. We never know for sure, he might be working behind the shadow right now using another pseudonym to help resolve the existing issues.

Many options to choose from but it makes it even harder to choose Grin

I personally will bet on Casimero via decision @ 5.40 and throw some few for Casimero to finish the fight within 10-12 @ 6.40 .. I know that Casimero is looking forward to make some statement in this fight to make a huge climb in the ladder but I will not rule out the factor that Casimero's opponent might turn this into a survival game again. Just to be sure though that's why I took the decision and 10-12, but that's not even guaranteed hehe.
Somehow my bet went through just like how I imagined that this will end in the judge's hand.

Anyway, Congratulations to all bettors who also won this bout, and for John Riel Casimero of course! Cool




Anyway, many fans are looking forward for Casimero to fight Inoue but with his current performance, I don't think it's sufficient to defeat the monster. But at least he won and it's a good opportunity for him to have a bigger match. So congrats to Casimero.

But don't worry yet because that fight will not happen anytime soon. Casimero will continue to fight to improve his ranking, while Inoue has been given an exemption not to go through the journey that Casimero had, since Inoue's championship fight was rescheduled for this July. Let's see the outcome of that, and if Inoue wins, well, maybe Casimero will have a chance to fight him if he becomes a top challenger, assuming Inoue doesn't go directly into a unification fight.

Yes, soon enough that will certainly happen as long as Casimero will continue building his own hype and winning his bouts as well.
As per https://www.boxingscene.com/rankings, John Riel Casimero is now on the #5 in WBO's rankings which give him good chances to fight the winner of Fulton vs Inoue or the Mexican Panter, Luis Nery next. Hopefully that will happen this year too.

Most of the people that post such a subject are to encourage new people in Bitcoin because for anybody who has been in the system for more than a year won't be scared about the drop in the price but rather look forward to when there will be a pump in the market.

It's not that new and if you have been here in the forum for a few yeas now then this type of discussion should not surprise you.

Fact is, it is easy to say those words that we should keep on holding our assets despite the market's declination because that is what we should do. But in reality, we cannot really blame these types of investors who gets easily scared in time they see a declination because in the first place, it is their money and not ours, they are in control of it and we are not.

I reckon that we should let them be because as an investor, we should know what we're trying to get into and these declinations are just normal just like how the price increase are normal. Let's be thankful instead because weak hands are being removed as we only need more of those solid hodlers.
