1841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco on: December 26, 2022, 12:52:55 PM
Looking at the last fight of Loma, I think he is not in his prime anymore. The early 30s to mid-30s are the most common for most boxers to lose their primes. I believe Haney will be the stronger and faster guy and he will win against this version of Loma. As a huge fan of Loma since the start of his pro career, I hate to see him lose. Maybe Haney cannot make the weight and just move up. Cheesy

Nicely said there bro and i definitely agree with you that Loma has lost a step since his prime, maybe to age and that last fight of his was the testament that indeed he is not in his prime anymore. But as a fan of Loma, i give him the benefit of the doubt that his performance last outing might have to do with ring rust as he was out of the ring for almost a year due to war in Ukraine.

The thing with Haney is that he is not a knockout artist like Teofimo Lopez and this might give Loma the advantage as i think he will not hesitate to engage because even if he will be hit with a power shot, he can take it and we all know that Loma is also KO artist aside from being a technical one.

This is going to be an exciting one and BTW, 3 already have voted and its all for Loma hehe.

If Loma will be quicker and smarter than Haney, then will be able to catch him clean and probably hurt him. Haney has only 51.72% KO rate, but he does well in other areas like he can frustrate his opponent until it will be easy for him to score. He is not so focused to win by KO, he likes to take it slow and wear down his opponent if possible, so Loma has to take care of Haney early if he wants to end with a big win.

We love to see this kind of energy from the Warriors though, Thompson should lead the team if ever they will go on a winning streak this season without Steph Curry.

This two are bringing out the best out of them, according to Klay himself and it's good to see this kind of competition.

That's out of the question since they've just beaten one of the best contenders in the league and they should not forget GSW is the defending champion and they can still catch up once Steph will step on the court. Klay can be relied on if he continues to play like this one and of course, it would be always a great challenge for him and his teammates to not completely sink their team to the bottom until Steph will come back. Once they find their right rhythms on the court, I'm sure they will be able to give the other teams a real challenge to beat them every game without Stephen Curry.

I loved watching them playing with great chemistry, however, I am a bit disappointed with their road record because it's now below my expectation. If they want to be in the playoffs, they should learn how to win on the road because that will help them in improving their record. The competition in the West is very tight, they cannot be inconsistent.
1843  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What you really think about trading bots? on: December 23, 2022, 08:42:07 PM
It can't be generalized that all of them are useless and a waste of time as I believe that there are some bots that are working efficiently but not perfectly. I think you are also using one of it (Gunbot), how it does for you OP? I think you can also share it with us so people will encourage to try it.

Well, anyways, bots can only be working well depending on the trader itself. Likely, if a trader had already deep knowledge of trading he can really make a good setup on the bot that will just work according to what haven been commanded. But if you are new, you can never expect that it will become productive but rather expect failure.
1844  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should be very careful with alts on: December 23, 2022, 02:06:55 PM

Keep a track of your altcoins regularly and once you see the slackness in the team it's safer to switch.
It is not necessary anymore if you are only investing in potential altcoins like Ethereum. But if you are in these shitcoins and new projects, you'll gonna do that otherwise it makes you surprised that your portfolio had gone ZERO.

Investing in altcoins isn't a bad idea but investing in new projects is a different story and riskier. As an investor, we need to learn how to assess the projects before investing if we need to avoid losses. Scam projects are flooded in the market which is why we should be careful and cautious with them, especially for hyped projects.
1845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: December 23, 2022, 01:39:41 PM
Also, I'm just confused with Tank's statement lately because he suddenly throws an issue with no proof that his future foe, Ryan Garcia is taking PEDs.

What's his intention with his statement? I think it boost my confidence in Garcia that he could beat Tank if they will fight. This kind of statement are from fighters who are already making excuses because they believe that they have a chance to lose in the fight, so if in case Davis losses, we already know what's his excuse.

Well, guess what? This line and the situation is very familiar lol. Yeah! That was when Mayweather were afraid and worried regarding his perfect record after seeing Pacquiao dominating great fighters.
Throwing excuses during pre fight is worse than making excuses after lossing the fight.
That's the downside of having a perfect record, fighter tends to avoid fighting another great fighter just to retain that perfect record as much as possible until he retires.
Look at Spence and Crawford, the match seems vaguely happens, because non of them wants an L on their records.

They change the real definition of a great boxer, they think that once they retire with an undefeated record, that will make them a great boxer. Unfortunately, that is wrong, not all the time as even Mayweather who retired as undefeated, but still, many fans would choose Pacman over him as the greatest boxer of their generation.

Thurman was lucky to have fought Pacman, although he lose but he will always be remembered as a strong warrior who is not afraid of an L in his record.

And we know how powerful playing in homecourt, and the cheers of the crowd is. Anyway, I think that talent-wise, Ginebra and Dragons are not that far apart. If the crowd can boost the confidence of Ginebra in the game, it will be an even match.

Wait, what are you saying? you think that Bay Area is the favorite to win and Ginebra needs the crowd to win? man, sorry but I disagree with you, I think Ginebra has the upper hard, remember the last time they met? Ginebra won by a huge margine, same import, so I don't see anything new from them against Ginebra.

Based on the betting odds on their previous game, Ginebra was the underdog, so I think that would not change considering the fact that Bay Area are the number 1 team in the PBA. Maybe this series, Bay Area is the slight favorite, so for Ginebra backers, this is our chance to bet on Ginebra as the underdog.

Things might change because this is already the Finals. Maybe if we have the series betting odds, that would be better. Based on my research, here's the betting odds for game 1.

This is from a local sportspook in the Philippines, they have an early odds, so we now have an idea if we still choose to bet on crypto sportsbook.

We have plenty of games tomorrow.

Bucks vs Nets, this should be a very exciting game to watch, with the struggles of the Bucks recently, I think I will pick the home team to win here, -2.5 should not be hard to cover in case the home team will win.

Also, Memphis vs Suns.. Memphis are a great team but Suns are playing at home, so yeah, Suns for me and I will take the ML instead of the handicap.
1848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 23, 2022, 12:26:00 PM
What made this issue about them is losing versus an average team like the Orlando Magic.

Can these people treat that loss against Magic as just another usual day in the office for the Boston Celtics?

Even if Orland Magic is sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, it doesn't mean they don't have the capability to upset some teams above.

This season, Orlando Magic already upsets some of the big teams that have a Superstar and All-Star level of players like Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, and Dallas Mavericks. Some of their winnings to aren't being played with the NBA's 2022 Top 1 Rookie Pick this season, Paolo Banchero.

They can just accept the fact that Magic defeat then so maybe they are still cannot believe what happen in that game. Magic is young team except for Terrence Ross and Gary Harris they are also consist with talents maybe they just need a experience to improve more defeating celtics can happen and they can upset the top teams and they need their young star to be more aggressive and hungry for wins.

Magic is a decent team, you cannot discount their talent so we have to respect them.

They have a decent record in their last 10 games because they won 7 out of 10. Though they are not in the playoff ranking but that's already a good development for them. I can't believe what they did especially the Celtics whom they beat twice in a row.

There is a saying that " if you can't beat them, you join them " ,is this what's going on with Btc and our government?
So you mean that if you get in trouble with the bad guys and can't beat them, then you have to join and be like them as well?

No, some countries are banning crypto yet their people are still investing. Bitcoin is not controlled by the government, they might have some reason to regulate it but not to stop and remove the right of the people to invest. If we go along with the idea od our leaders regarding crypto, not way they can understand how it works and the benefits we get.
Quote
You can't confuse me that the government aren't buying Bitcoin too, since they knew that this is the real power back to the people, something they really can't control, I'm guessing the only option they have is to join?
Those who understand will invest in crypto but those who remain close-minded, they always on the negative side.
1850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two types of predictors in bitcoin market. on: December 23, 2022, 02:29:24 AM
Unfortunately, we can't make all people believe what others have seen about Bitcoin, haters will exist.
In fact, even the government has never seen it as useful to the community. Banks are against Bitcoin, many individuals also think the same. Even people who are here in crypto are still in doubt about Bitcoin which is why they usually become depressed when seeing the price drop and then say it was the end of crypto.

I could say that the bear season has its purpose. Those who have faith and trust in Bitcoin will hold but those who are not will simply sell their Bitcoin as a response to the market decline.
1851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you doing with your alt bags on: December 22, 2022, 09:33:05 PM

Almost all altcoins are now making new all time low, Gala games for example look like it's going to 0.015$ after holding 0.025$ for months, I have halted my buys right now because I believe that BTC will go lower, what are you plans?
You can include Bitcoin and ETH on the chart as well to figure out that not only altcoins had suffered declines but also potential coins.
But guess what I see in the picture OP, these coins are almost no market value from the eye of the leading investors which is why they suffered the most when the market is in a bearing state. You can never expect them to see it will turn green unless the market had recovered but doubtful if they can make it due to a lack of support from the community.
1852  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could this be the bottom of Bitcoin? on: December 22, 2022, 09:11:20 PM
The current price of Bitcoin is hovering around $18000. Just pumped a bit today. Bitcoin price has been using $1700 as support for the past few days.
Could the price of Bitcoin fall further?
What do you think about this?  
If we only just know what really happens next in Bitcoin but unfortunately, we don't that is why the only thing we can do is to assume that it was already the bottom price or not - or maybe.

Well, at least the price never dumps badly like in the previous bear season where the price of Bitcoin reaches below $5k, we're just more than 3x far from it. But as it was said, we can't assume this will be the last drop that ever happen this bear market, never know exactly.

Bitsler is an old gambling site and one of the most popular before. I don't know about their status now because I have not been playing with this site anymore since they restricted my account for the KYC requirement. Back in the day, everything was okay, most gambling sites does not require a KYC but now you really need to choose carefully so your money is safe.
1854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 22, 2022, 09:42:44 AM
Warriors is tanking faster as I expected. They don't just lose but they got completely destroyed. First New York and now Brooklyn put ridiculously high numbers on their basket. Nets made almost 30 points gap in first quarter. That first half 91 points was the franchise record for Nets. In third period Nets slow down for obvious reasons and Warriors made the gap to just 21 points but it went up again after Patty Mills came in. Morris also scored with high percentage. Durant and other starters rested for last quarter.

Knicks' 8 game winning streak end tonight but Nets have 7 game streak now. Let's see if they can pass this. It might be close for them as well as they will play with Bucks and Cavs back to back. It's hard to recover from that fixture.

You can’t just lose the best shooter of all time and expect your team to continue playing at the same level. Not having Stephen Curry is a massive loss and I expect it’s going to be rough in for the Warriors until he returns. They should still be able to beat the below .500 teams and hopefully can keep themselves in the playoff race for when they get Steph back.

That's very important, they should also win some games so they'll be able to have a decent standing when Curry returns. Right now, they are playing like a very bad team, they lose by a huge margin and you can tell they already loss their competitiveness.

Looks like Curry will not be able to come back anytime soon as per this article.

Steph Curry may be out till after the New Year

That means the Warriors will continue to struggle, it's sad to see them like that but I still believe that this team will make it to the playoffs. The more they fall the better there odds are if we like to bet on the NBA Future. As per the NBA Winner betting odds, they are still at the top 3 with 9.00 odds, so bookies also believe that this struggle are just temporary.
1855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will you buy more ETH after reading this ? on: December 22, 2022, 09:01:40 AM
Well, we know how good is the trend of ETH, it always comes to follow the flow of Bitcoin and it grows continuously. Every bull season the price is also in a huge rally making people who invest in this coin certainly never get disappointed. If we are not buying during this time, we ended up having regrets in the future.

As the 2nd place of the entire crypto market, we can't simply ignore and reject it.
I have had Bitcoin and ETH held in my wallet for many years and I see a huge change in my portfolio during the bear season but never I think about it because it always recovers first during the bull market.
1856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which kind of situation will force you to sell? on: December 21, 2022, 09:42:47 PM
....
 Is family or health challenge enough reason to?
Emergencies - this is the most reason why holders sacrifice their coins and sell them at the not perfect time. It is really hard if you are not financially stable because sometimes we need to sacrifice something like in a situation where someone from our family needs immediate money support.
I have that experience but yes, we don't have any choice than committing debts that only add a burden to our financial status. That I see it was very important to save money for health/emergencies separate from our investment so our plan will never be affected.
1857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 21, 2022, 11:41:16 AM
With this statement of Inoue, some of the Filipino boxing fans thinks that Inoue is avoiding Casimero because if he grinds for ranking after he goes up in weight division, there is a possibility for Inoue to fight Casimero. While going straight to a title fight will definitely evade a fight against Casimero.
Maybe he can be a champion but Casimero will always be his tough challenger and the time will come when he will have no choice but to fight him. If he will evade Casimero, not only the Filipino fans will think that he is afraid of him but the whole boxing community, so if he has the pride of a champion, he needs to take the challenge of Casimero.
I don't see any news or articles said if Inoue is avoiding to fight with Casimero, maybe it's just your speculation. Well Inoue will not scared with anyone, as long as he's not fight with an undisputed champion, he wouldn't avoid to fight with any boxer. Maybe Inoue think there's no reason to fight with a boxer who doesn't have any belt since it's wasting his time, it depends on each boxer if he want to "warm up" first or directly fight with a champion.
Definitely, it's only an speculation, but as a fan, we saw what happened, they were supposed to fight but due to the pandemic the fight was cancelled, but when there's no pandemic anymore, Inoue's camp did not make the fight happen, so you have to understand the frustration of the fans because they want to see a good fight and they think only Casimero can match Inoue in their division.
1858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: December 21, 2022, 11:18:11 AM
I might find that an excuse, uncovering your fighting strategy, is not a good reason, though he might be exposed if he will fight Gesta, but it is
his obligation since he signs the contract.

Since Garcia had signed the contract will the boxing commission sanction Garcia?  I wonder how much money will Garcia need to pay for the penalty if he failed to show in the signed contract fight against Festa.

About the reason of being exposed, I think that is a good reason if he is able to surprise Davis and win the fight.  But if not then it is just a waste.

Still no update about the situation with the upcoming fight between Gesta and Garcia, only the statement of Garcia that spread around
the social channels that he's no longer interested in fighting Gesta.

Gesta's camp is still quiet I wonder what is Gesta's camp thinking right now.  The fight against Ryan Garcia as stated in the earlier reply is one of the biggest fight of Gesta and possible the one that can boost Gesta's career if he happen to win the fight.  I hope the boxing authority will push the fight since it was already signed.

Absolutely sure if that fight will happen Gesta vs Garcia then Gesta will take this as his advantage it because his name will became a popular once that fight will happen and it will boost his career as we all know who is Garcia he is one of the best fighter in boxing so without a doubt Gesta will became very known in many country and more known if he will win against Garcia. But for now maybe gesta and his team still thinking because they are very quite.
Gesta team are quite because they didn't expect that suddenly Garcia is not going to push through with this fight. Gesta has the perfect opportunity again to become popular if he somehow upsets Ryan Garcia here, but not going to happen anymore. And Gesta cannot do anything about Ryan's decision because he don't have control of the fight, as he is not the one who dictate it, he is just a b-side fighter here.

Yes, he missed that opportunity, eventually, he will retire soon because he is not getting any younger, so getting a big fight like against Ryan Garcia is very huge for him. Gesta is not a popular boxer, with a fight against Ryan Garcia, he will become popular if he can upset Garcia, but of course we know it will not happen.

Quote
Ryan though will have a 8 month break, so it's about him getting active and not let ring rust takes over him when he will fight Davis next year.
He knows how big his opponent is, it's not going to be an easy fight for him so preparation is necessary, and of course, Davis is also doing the same thing for sure.
1859  Economy / Economics / Re: A fact that the general public don't know on: December 21, 2022, 04:58:56 AM
It's looks like in every bear season crypto always gets a bad occurrence to be called a scam, this is why I still look at the whole bad situations that's happening as a planned attack, I am talking about FTX and co.

The Politicians will try to ruin crypto and force KYC on every clean and unclean exchanges out there, this is a good opportunity for them to promote CBDC too because of this FTX fraud but I am here to tell you that FTX and Crypto are not the same things, FTX is a private company that did many bad things behind the curtain and Cryptocurrency is the most fascinating technology that humanity has ever emerge with.

Don't get it confused.
I'm not sure if this is a force factor or if something hugely influences the market condition. However, FTX gives us an example of why we should be careful in dealing with crypto exchanges whether it was big or small, or new or old. We have to consider the high risk in the crypto investment and that is very important of being aware and have knowledge about this. Perhaps, the idea of collecting KYC is one way to combat scams but sadly, even known exchanges had led to that situation.
1860  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does a trading strategy becomes obsolete? on: December 21, 2022, 04:22:09 AM
I am trying to learn more about trading strategies specially in Technical Analysis. Upon trying different indicators, it comes to my mind that indicators might become an obsolete one day.

...
I would say NO. Technical Analysis is still very important in trading, in fact, it is one of the most useful tools to use in trading. It can only be obsolete if everyone is not using it due to it being ineffective but as I see many traders are still using this (even me). Might see some upgrades on the trading strategies and new tools or TA can be upgraded into a more realistic one. But what really matters is how a trader uses TA or if they are really knowledgeable enough to use it. Otherwise, no matter how many trading tools and strategies are used, it is never profitable anymore if you can't do it in the right way.
