^ Interesting as well is the fight in the women's division, Seniesa & Valle. This is for the undisputed minimum belt. Both women make the weight, Seniesa Estrada 104.2 lbs vs. Yokasta Valle 104.3 lbs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z7KK9l_kdM

Here is the video where they exchanges not so pleasantries.

And as per the link given, both are in total shape.



And this lady put up a good fight as expected, it went to the distance though, as Seniesa Estrada outpoints Yokasta Valle, 97-93 from the 3 judges scoring at ring side.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UAcmIJ2WvI

I agree with the winner here, as I have said, it's close by Estrada has more pop from his pump and good techniques throwing it. As compare to Valle who I think is just throwing everything and his punch doesn't have that snap that Estrada has.

Maybe we will see a rematch?

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

In the first place, I don't think that gambling companies are going to help someone, it's there business and if they do this, then they are going to lose money. The only way that supposedly this casinos are doing are self-inclusion.

And casinos for me doesn't have the responsibility to warn people not to get addicted, I mean we has individuals knows what gambling can bring to us and so it's either we understand it like you do, or totally ignored the facts and just get started their journey into gambling itself and let them learn their lessons in a very expensive way.
183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: March 30, 2024, 02:20:55 PM
I'm 50/50 on it right now, but Jake only seems to be the slight favourite with the bookies right now.

Speaking of Favorites, I tried to search if "official" odds are available right now. I understand that it's about 4 months to go before the fight so official odds might not come out yet at this time but at least, maybe we can find some unofficial odds, or also called preliminary odds, from some famous bookmakers.

According to this site, there's still no official odds yet as of their last update several hours ago.

The unofficial odds available out there are provided by one of the head oddsmakers of a popular sportsbook, the odds are:

Jake Paul: -360
Mike Tyson: +300


If ever that odds prediction will somehow close to the official odds, it might be worth putting some on Tyson.

However, for me, I'm not really sure if a serious fight will happen here.

There is also a risk that it will not be a serious fight, but rather a fight for entertainment.

Or it could be what we saw in the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belford... That the Brazilian fighter took the fight seriously even against the retired Holyfield and destroyed him in less than 2 minutes of the fight, but was heavily criticized for it, for take it seriously... Anyway, I'm rooting for Mike and for this fight to be a real fight.

Just all hopes that the fight won't be rigged. That the Mike Tyson who entered into that contract won't be acting like on a wrestling match scripted type. just truly rooting for real boxing match. Mike is fighter after all. I hope he won't be diving into entertainment type of sports where his aim to just earn more money. Because them, he's just like making fun of the sport that made him great early on his career. IN any case I would still bet under Mike's name.

We really can't say if the fight will be rigged or not, but looking at the leaked rules, it seems that the only way for this fight to end if by knockout. And so with that, there is no script that can really put here unless Tyson and Jake Paul rehearse everything before the actual fight?

But that will be weird though. And that 2 minute rule might benefit Tyson as he is the older guy obviously and needed not to fight for 3 minutes as we have questions whether he has the stamina to stay or gas out after just a couple of rounds.
184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: March 30, 2024, 02:00:25 PM
Haney shouldn't taken Ryan Garcia lightly and shouldn't be looking for his next opponent as he could lose focus here. Although Ryan is a big underdog, I think he is more capable of making a upset with is left hook. It is still dangerous in my opinion, if by chance he touches Haney early, we will see how he can cope with that power of Ryan.

Both sides are quiet, implying that they are into deep training, next will be the weigh-in for this guys but it's about the day prior to the fight.

So now it's more on dieting I guess and then honing their skills with their respecting trainers and laying down their strategy and plan B.

Yeah, I agree that Haney should take Ryan Garcia seriously and respect the latter's left hook because that could be the punch that could end the night for him.

Good for them that they are quiet as this is the sign that this fight is a go and no more obstacles like mental health issues that could derail this very important fight for the two of them.

Yes, and I think Haney doesn't underestimate his opponents, he has reach this far though, so good for him as he is still undefeated. Even Prograis who we thought could give Haney a great fight, was a total mismatch. He even floor Prograis, a supposedly natural 140 lbs and has power.

So it speaks volume of Haney's discipline and not taking for granted his opponents. Specially in the case of Ryan Garcia here, who has one of the best left hook. It's quick and short and very fast and once it landed flush, you really will have to go down because of the power.

I just found out that Brian Mendoza will also be in this fight as he will be fighting Serhii Bohachuk (23-1) for the WBC interim super welterweight title. So if my chance he wins, he will have another crack maybe for the regular belt being held by the winner of this fight.

And just like what fans says here, Brian said that he expects Tim to win and uses body shots to slow down the tall Fundora. This was the same strategy that he uses when he knockout Fundora. Also the final weigh-in for those who wants to see and read their body language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbvgsh335bE.

Take note though that Fundora did eat Pizza and Burger as per Tim. But Fundora says that he has a fast metabolism and so he can do that.

138 3/4 pounds for the challenger Pitbull Cruz. Romero at 139 1/2 pounds. And then Romero giving the middle finger to Pitbull, LOL.

Romero might be the champion here, but he is a big underdog against the pressure fighter in Pitbull Cruz. Do we see a new champion this weekend? Or Romero retaining his belt (this is first time defending the belt).
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: March 29, 2024, 09:30:29 PM
This is always the reality with betting going all in on the games sometimes the pain that comes from losing all in a bet makes the gambler to think that the casino manipulate the game outcome but in reality you just happen to lose as usual
Since we already know the risk that comes along with gambling why then do some gamble with the mindset of winning there going all in on the bet with the whole of the balance which can trigger they bankruptcy of balance at a bet?

And that's why we always say that gambling can really affect our negatively specially if we are going to lose everything after going in. Most of us have been in that kind of situation, our decision making process is not that call, like in poker, when we snap call when we think that we have the best hand, but our emotions are biases and so the OP goes all in but the outcome was a loss.

Just tonight though, almost the same experience for me, but I have to move over and just take that lose and go to sleep. Otherwise it will just bother me all day as what I made that bad decision of going all in instead of just taking it in a stride and giving me a chance to comeback or make break even at least.

I think Bitcoin has proven itself during the pandemic, safe haven, a hedge for our wealth. So there's no need to be motivate oneself to invest in crypto. As long as you know what you are doing, and that you have a goal, i.e. preserved wealth, there is no better time than right now.

But the thing is that there are investors who might have the wrong mindset in the beginning, when they thought that BTC is a get rich scheme. And then they invest on meme coins and shit coins thinking that is it the easiest way to make more money which is not.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tim Tszyu - Seabastian Fundora For The WBC And WBO Super Welterweight March 30 on: March 28, 2024, 11:09:31 PM
The fun was ruined... I thought Thurman was up and wants to be a champion again but unable to make it for this big fight would say that he is done in boxing. Pacman ruined him and now he is getting older and having a problem in coming back. Honestly, I don't know Tim Tszyu's opponent, I bet he is not popular, so this could be another fight cherry pick by his camp for a sure win.

That's what everyone believed, so I agree, Manny Pacquiao has ruined Keith Thurman. Although there are pictures of him having a shoulder support or something. He is a rank boxer, Fundora has a fight with someone as the undercard.

And it's also for the interim belt and so this fight will be for the WBO and WBC belt now. Fundora is very tall but I think that is the only advantage he has. Tszyu is the well rounded of the two and he has the tools to score a knockout victory here.


Thurman has very good potential after Pacquiao's fight. But he paused his boxing career afterwards, so it was not Pac's fault why his boxing career got a hold up. Anyway, every boxer have their own journey in this sports. It is up to them how they will take advantage of the opportunity and move forward after the loss. Pacquiao got also his share of loss in his career but he never gave up and made an impact in this sports.

Well you can ask Ricky Hatton for that, or Morales or Marco Antonio Barrera because after fighting Manny they were never be the same again. After's Thurman's lost to Manny he took a long break, then trying to make a comeback against Barrios, win but doesn't look good.

And after that he didn't fight again and he was supposed to fight, but got injured?

Yes, I agree that Pacquiao himself has losses, but in the case of Thurman and others that Manny beat, it's more on their psychology that they were beaten by this small man from Asia and they can't get over with that.

Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4m3dj3NRRA

He admitted that he got depressed after getting his first L.
191  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for March on: March 28, 2024, 10:34:26 PM
So far bitcoin performance this month is high, the market is still bullish we expect bitcoin to rally to $72k before next month. Bitcoin is gaining more strength, investors are buying and accumulating more Bitcoin and I would like to see Bitcoin  break the $73k ATH before halving.

After halving then we expect price to dump before massive bullishness.
This is the time we just get prepared for what is to come, rather securing profits which is way too early now.

So far for this month alone, we are up 15%++, but the strongest month so far is February, with a huge increased of 43%++. And yet we haven't seen the halving, the catalyst for a bull run, but the price is going strong even setting a new all time high already.

Yes, that is to be expected, halving is the trigger for a massive bull run, and next month we will finally see it and then that's where the fun begins. But in any case, at the end of March above $70,000 is already great price and we have to thank the bulls for that for pushing the price.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does affilate programs work in casinos? on: March 28, 2024, 10:07:29 PM
I was wondering how does casino affiliates programs work.

I have a friend who is an affiliate marketer. He does affiliate programs for various sectors. For example in the health sector, finance sector, educational sector and so many. It got me thinking after he tried introducing me into it, he is trying to make me change my mind from gambling in 8 ball pool instead i should use the money to get an online affiliate course.

Am curious right now, to know how does affiliates program work in gambling. I know gambling is big niche and they also run affiliate programs, so anyhow have an idea?

Casinos that allow their members to become an affiliate will simply give you a link. And once someone register under your link and then plays then the casino will give you a certain percentage.

So the more players you bring to that casinos, the more money you will give passively. But it's hard though to sign someone under your referral unless you really know that guy or you yourself is already a established gamblers. And this is also one reason why there are so many gambler streamers right now, so called influencers so that you will sign under them and then they will earn some and then continue with their streams.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: March 28, 2024, 09:49:02 PM
If a gambler win this much with mathematical calculations, it is the same thing as saying that the person has broken the code to the algorithm behind the lottery. It is even a big signal if the winnings are consecutive, in that case, the company will either pause to do investigation long before it even get to the 14th win. Lotteries are game of chance and there is no way a player will be so lucky to win several times consecutively so the result of this case will be a complete overhaul of the lottery system

LOL, but it was done before, and only in a month, PCSO list showed one bettor won 20 times in a month —Tulfo.

Quote
Senator Raffy Tulfo on Tuesday disclosed that a bettor's name appeared to have won the lotto 20 times in one month, citing a list submitted by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).

But obviously this is rigged though, and we can't really comprehend how one person won a lottery not just once or twice or even fourteen times in his lifetime, but 20 minutes in just one month, how lucky this individual is?  Grin
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navarrete Vs Berinchyk Vacant WBO World Lightweight Title May 18 2024 on: March 28, 2024, 09:20:51 PM


Fight is still far though, we haven't seen the kick off press conference yet, but for sure Navarette is very happy in moving up in weight as he will not have to drain himself again and have that chance to crack for another belt.

That was always the issue when he was in the Featherweight division and surprisingly he still performed better than expected, with Navarrete's frame and builds he can go up further but the higher you go up the more challenging opposition you're going to face.
He is still good in the Lightweight but he will be facing tough opposition trying to unite it, with Tank Davis and Shakur you'll have a very tough challenge ahead.

And the higher you go up, most likely you will lose your power as well, his frame is somewhat in between, but we have seen the he indeed has problems with making 130 lbs. Although he could have clean it up the division at Jr. Lightweight and fought O'Shaquie Foster, the risk is very high for him.

So better move to the new division Lightweight become a champion with his chance here, then maybe fought rank boxers. But it will be very difficult for him as we have Tank and Shakur as well or others as this division is pretty much stack up. However, he was given a chance by the WBO so why not take advantage of that.
195  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who can you trust more to handle your business, man or woman? on: March 27, 2024, 11:25:45 PM
Am sure many arguments have ensued from the disparity in management that both gender, the man and the woman, can bring to the table as regards managing a business to scale heights of progress.
While a man is preferred for some, in order cases, the women are more favorite to handle top management positions due to their multitasking ability or dedication to vision of the company that's unwavering.

* If you intend to start your business or you already do and are looking for the best candidate to fill the top management position, would you trust a man or a woman to handle the affairs of the business?

* What reasons would you suggest are right, for picking and trusting a particular gender to handle a top management position of your business?

Let's discuss!
Have you experienced working in a company? If so, you must have known that the gender has nothing to do with who has the better ability to handle your own business. It is true that women can do multi-tasking, so as the men. A lot of people also often say that what a man does, women can also manage to do the same thing, and vice versa.

So, if I will start my own business, gender will not really matter. As long as that person is capable and has a pleasing personality, that person is fit for the job.

And to add to that, why are we still discussing this? I mean we are in an era that gender is not a thing anymore? Maybe except for countries that are really strict because of their religion. But now, everything is very open now.

So to answer this, doesn't matter, as long as the person can do the job right away, then get that individual.

We shouldn't be gender biased, it has proven already that any sexes right now can do their job more than we expect them to be. And most of them are really that competitive and will go above and beyond their duty to finished the job.

No, we do not have any fees for withdrawing bitcoin and other coins from account to personal wallet.
Not even transaction fees?
If I withdraw 10 mBTC I will receive 10 mBTC in my wallet?

😂😂😂 Lol what a question bud..
Are you high or what?  Grin

Are there any centralized casinos around where it's possible to withdraw crypto currencies without any fees? Just being curious as personally, this is the very first time I see a user ask such a question on this forum.
Sure there is.
Sportsbet, Bitcasino, Livecasino and few other casinos dont charge any fees for withdrawing bitcoin, they dont even charge any transaction fees.
You are active in gambling board so it is very strange for you to ask this question, when we have a whole topic about that since 2021: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5333602.0

LOL, but yeah, specially sportsbet.io one of the biggest sporting platform, didn't charge any withdrawal fees and I think it's one reason why they are still in the game and became well known because of that. I can attest to that as I have been betting for them many years ago without any withdrawal fee.

In any case, it's a good strategy by BITZ.io, obviously, it's to attract a lot of gamblers to get this benefit. Unlike some top tier gambling platforms (won't mentioned the name), but their fees are so high and the reason is that they want the withdrawal to be very fast but customers are the one to shoulder the fees, (not good).
197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 190K in 2024? on: March 27, 2024, 10:18:41 PM
Halving is very near and in such short period of time it is not possible to happen for bitcoin to reach from 68k$ to 190k$ but still it is a crypto and market can change anytime. If after effects of halving remains longer and price increase occurs for months then may be price reach to such value till the end of this year.

When bitcoin start to rise then everyone become satisfied because the price does not stop at 73k$ but there is a hope that before halving it will reach to the value higher than 73k$. After every halving the price goes higher but we don't know that what will be the limit if higher worth and will it reach to 100k$ or will down due to large number of selling.

We still have like 8 months to do that, and we have seen that any price is possible for Bitcoin. It might get to $190,000 this year, but this is bull run might be very big. And just like that, we could see that price.

I don't think that we can all be satisfied, it's good, but we all know that at the back of our minds, we want more higher prices. And it's really doable with a market like Bitcoin who works in cycle and now that we are in a bull run, we are looking for at least 6 digits for the first time.

Yo, that loss stung, but hey, it ain't the end of the world. Now I'm fired up to build my own game, one that's straight-up fair. Fairness? Check. Trustworthy? Duh. And the user experience? Gonna be smoothest thing this side of butter.

Why I’m writing these words, cause I’m wondering the real bet players thoughts and what is the important for them? In here, I would like buidl with community experience not casino experience.

It's a combination, there are gamblers who look at the design, it must be unique and different user feel. As for the trustworthy and reputation, not going to be easy, competition are tough in gambling and so you really need to look at every questions, doubts and answer it here and satisfy your question. And it might take years to build it. Those casinos right now that is well-known started slow and built their reputation from ground up. At least 4 years as majority of them born out of the pandemic and yet they are still standing.

And you need to hire the right personnel as well, maybe get those who has the experience to be a support staff or be in the fraud department catching cheaters. And your ToS should also be a consideration, as it needs to be clear. License as well is a must, you will be criticize if you don't have one in the beginning.

There are reports that David Benavidez pleaded Turki Alalshikh to make the fight between him and Canelo. But Turki says no, however, he said that he can fight the winner of this fight in June.



https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1771550634942111745

Well I can't blame Alalshikh, Canelo is clearly doesn't like no part of Benavidez and that's why he is not a fan of it. And for sure Canelo will command big money here, although the Saudis have that kind of money, I don't think though that they'll simply bow down on Canelo here.

So June perhaps, then after that, Bivol and Beterbiev can have their rematch.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?

This will certainly be a checkmate on Canelo from David Benavidez assuming Benavidez will win the light heavyweight championship hehehe. Benavidez knows that Canelo wants a light heavyweight championship before he retires and he also certainly knows that Canelo is avoiding him in the super middleweight division. The solution is to win the unified light heavyweight championships hehehehee. This will be the perfect fight for the both of them because Canelo wants to fight for his legacy and Benavidez wants to fight to become the next big name in the sport of boxing. Also, the purse for each will be very big hehe.

It's already checkmate for him as he is avoiding David Benavidez like a plague. And I don't think that he will go 175 lbs, those 3 are waiting for him. He only went to 175 lbs when it has a weak champion in Kovalev. And he did try to go up again and thought that Bivol is easy.

And now that the Saudi's has spoken up, he will be left in the super middleweight and fighting in the US and he can't get that $100-$200 M that he wants. He might clean up the division though but not fighting David Benavidez will hurt his legacy.
