I was definitely way off on that one.  Glad I didn't have anything on the line.  Dallas keeps surprising me this postseason.  Luka seems to get points no matter what.  I don't understand how he's able to score so much when he's so slow, but he does.  I'm glad they managed to keep from being swept.  I still think the Warriors easily win this series though.  It will just take them one more game.

I feel you, because same as you, I was also hesitant to put some bets to the Warriors side because I have some feeling that this won't be a sweep and it happened. As I watched their Game 4 earlier, it was somehow clear and plain that the Dallas Mavericks will win the game because the Warriors didn't poured so much sweat even if they could just end the game earlier. Next game, it will be the Warriors as they always liked to end the series in their home.
1902  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 25, 2022, 10:22:49 AM

For now, Golden State Warriors is the only team that is close to the championship.

Eastern Conferece Finals is tight and we don't know who will win there even by speculations and predictions.

And one notable thing, teams playing in the ECG right now are dealing with lots of injuries. Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, are playing healthy and it's not just the Splash Brothers that carry the team but there are role players who are stepping up for them. Regardless of who will be in the ECF, the Warriors do have a very big advantage.

Warriors also have suffered injury problems but not on their star players and they have lots of replacements that are ready to step up.
They don't have GPII anymore, and Otto Porter Jr. is also injured, but he will be back soon.

Their chance is good actually, the reason why they are the heavy favorites to win.

Gary Payton II's presence could bring a big help on the defensive strategy but now he's injured and cannot help the team, but his absence along with Otto Porter Jr. doesn't make the Warriors in the disadvantage side as they are still hard to beat and capable to dominate any team especially in their home and that's make them the heaviest favorite to win this season.

Well the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics series certainly just got very interesting. I was shocked to see how poorly the Heat starters played. Also have to wonder if Jimmy Butler will play fully healthy at all during the rest of this playoffs. I have to think he wasn’t feeling at his best last night.  Just insane him, Lowry and two other starters all being held under 10 points.

For me, this was really inevitable because most of the Miami Heat key players were injured even before the game earlier like Lowry and Butler, also Herro wasn't there to at least help the team chase the Celtic's lead but was also suffering from an injury. Jimmy Butler should have just rested because they quite know already that their chances on winning game earlier was really low because the almost all the key players on the Celtics were present. Now, they just made their situation even worse as the Celtics will be always watching for them to have an advantage.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: May 24, 2022, 06:53:04 PM
That is why Romero is trying to get into Davis's head as he knew that he's not that powerful to defeat the latter. Sure he have some good clean record on his possession and impressive KO rate but Davis got more prettier record and a much more impressive KO rate. Romero have to work hard and exhaust himself so that he can give Davis a good fight. Well, I really hope so that we can see some entertaining fight as these boxers record are quite good.
Sometimes it's effective, sometimes it's not, so he is just gambling here. However, the most important is that he focuses more on his training because fighting against Tank Davis is not a joke, he has a high KO rate and therefore Rolly has to prepare for that and has to match his aggressiveness in the ring.

Just imagine if Rolly could really upset Tank Davis, then he'll be at the top.

In his dreams, LOL. Tank Davis has a solid chin and he is a heavy hitter. Actually, I don't see an upset here especially in KO because it's Davis specialty to KO his opponent, not the other way around. Well, I am maybe wrong but I would stand with what I believe will happen in this fight.

I don't know the update odds of this fight, but looking at the odds, it's highly unlikely that Romero will win here.

The odds is not looking good because Rolly is a cherry picked opponent. Tank Davis as usual continues to fight tomato cans. I am hoping that one day a tomato can will upset this cherry picker. Pitbull Cruz nearly caused an upset. Floyd Mayweather jr. is too careful with the match making. He is matching Tank with someone undefeated or someone with a good record but actually green. Or a good name but past his prime or someone like a bloated Leo Panty Cruz.

Tank Davis should be fighting Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, George Kambosos and Teofimo Lopez. 

Of course, who would try and bet on Romero's side if we already knew who will win on this bout, I'm speaking in-terms of capabilities and power not because of the rumored cherry picked but in-case that's true then Rolly Romero should've regret because he asked for this fight while acting tough with a big mouth that he will defeat the Tank Davis and now that his wish were granted, I surely hope that he could at least give Tank some challenge in these fight.

Among these four boxers that you said, I would like Tank Davis to fight Devin Haney or Kambosos Jr. The rest have almost no chance of winning especially the kid Garcia, sorry.
1905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 24, 2022, 06:07:23 PM
^^ Well we have been discussing what kind of strategy Donaire needs to win this fight because as you have said, he has seen Inoue power and speed before and he himself holds against and then fight and broke Inoue's orbital bone. And so far the consensus is that Donaire's left hook and counter punch is the key for him to win against the Monster. If he failed to execute any of the two then the chances for him to win is slim.

If we combine all of our ideas of how Donaire can win against Inoue is just to avoid the body punch. Donaire can stand against the punch of Inoue and avoid power punches. And, I think he will stand against him if he tries to close in a fight and do left and right hooks.

As I predict the fight, it might be the same as last 2019. Donaire just needs to increase his stamina and speed since Inoue is much younger and has more speed and power.

Body punch is the signature of Inoue, Donaire was a victim in the first fight although he was not KO after getting hit by a solid body punch. I'm pretty sure Donaire are aware of it already, he already felt the power of Inoue, so he will be careful in this rematch and will try to be quicker, and also quicker to score a KO as that's his only chance to win.

Donaire cannot honestly deny that he was really lucky enough that he didn't got KO'd after Inoue gave him that solid body punch, he surely felt that punch while Inoue was also hurt but he managed to shake it off. Not just Donaire but both of them will be careful enough because they are aware of the consequence if they caught unguarded as they both know how strong they are.

Congratulations @YuginKadoya. You got the right pick, everything was easy on the game if you are betting on the Celtics to win, they have dominated the game and they covered the spread easily. Looks like Butler and Bam do not want to play, they struggle big time as they didn't score based on their usual numbers.

In this game, the two superstars only scored.

Butler - 6 points
Bam - 9 points.

Both Butler and Adebayo was given almost the same time but they haven't got any good figures for the teams favor, it is quite clear that the Boston Celtics will own the game because Tyler Herro wasn't there and Butler was still injured but still played even if he knows he cannot do so much to the team. While on the Celtics side, I think the important player who was sidelined was just Marcus Smart and it's still unknown if he will be present on the next game at Miami.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 24, 2022, 04:15:14 PM
Magasayo has a chance to beat vargas in any aspect but......

Actually, we don't need to question Magsayo's chance of winning the fight because he is the defending champion and sure he is the favorite to win. We should be looking more at the chances of Vargas as the challenger on beating the champion.

Remember that he is the champion, he is still undefeated, so most bettors would bet on him, now, let's go to the question, is Vargas is big treat to Magsayo, or just an ordinary challenger that can easily be beaten by the champion?

You have a point. Magsayo will be the favorite to win as he is the champion and he's the title holder but the chances of Vargas to win is also somehow big as he have the experience, height and reach advantages but I can say that this fight will be a close bout even if the challenger also have a clean record. Eventually, he will become a stepping stone towards the Filipino boxer's dreams.

The next 2 games will be on Dallas, let's see if the Mavericks can bounce back as this time, it will be on their advantage.

We are going to find out tomorrow, Mavericks have to win the game, or else they'll be out already in the playoffs with a 3-0 score. Why? because no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit, that's in the history of the NBA. The reason why Mavericks are -2 tomorrow is because they need to win the game.

Dallas are good at home, in fact they beat the Suns on their home court, so I think they can do the same with the Warriors. They understand the risk of getting eliminated if they lose the game tomorrow, so expect a big run by the Mavericks as they usually win by huge number.

Yes, I love the chances of Dallas to at least win 1 game in their home court to stop the bleeding. They shoot very good as well at home, Finney-Smith, Bullock, Bertans can lead a avalanche of 3's and maybe that will give them enough separation against the Warriors. But we all know that there's no lead that is safe against a team like the Warriors so Dallas should played solid 48 minutes of basketball. Unlike in game 2 wherein they collapse in the 3rd, they can't allow that to happen again.

I'm thinking maybe Dallas will win the 1st half but the Warriors will have a big run in the 3rd quarter. Actually, the Warriors are called a 3rd quarter team for a reason, so in order for Dallas to win, they need to build a huge lead just to make sure the Warriors will not be able to come back and beat them again.

Also, Dinwiddie has to contribute well like what he did during the close out game against the Suns, he can't struggle if they want to win.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 22, 2022, 09:17:53 AM

Honestly, if Donaire haven't won on his recent fights with an impressive result, I believe he already decided to hang up his gloves and didn't pursue to have some fight with the monster of Japan as he know his chances is slim. But, as we know, he did ended his recent fights with impressive wins and that's is also why I believe he can still pull a victory in this rematch.

I also think the same, but that fight was really his ticket to fight Inoue again because he is the current champion, and a unification fight is always good to see. He is still the underdog in this fight, but we never know, maybe Donaire has prepared something that could shock the world.

 Donaire has proven and tested already for how many years in the world of boxing he became a champion in his career and also in the ring he stand among those mans who will be defeated by him. If the result of this fight and still inoue will win in the second time it's better to give up not because he is weak and can not defeat Inoue but because he already prove himself that he is the champion maybe because of his age his moves effected.

Yes, no question about that, Donaire is really good and his wins are very interesting. That's why this fight is very interesting despite we already seen them fight already, this rematch is good for Donaire as he came from a huge win, it gave him the confidence he needs to beat the monster of Japan which was still undefeated until now.

A new strategy may give the possibility for Donaire to win over Inoue. As he has faced Inoue before, he already knew what needs to be done and what to avoid. As people are highlighting his age to be one of the factors that may affect his performance inside the ring. He should finish the fight as early as he can, if he can see the chance. Otherwise, Inoue may dominate him in the last rounds. But still, this fight is still exciting to watch. We will know where Donaire and Inoue will go from here.

There's no need for this fight to go to the distance, if Donaire wants to win, it should be finished by KO or TKO, that's his only chance IMO. Inoue is very young, he is in his prime, he can knock out anyone, but he is not perfect, he can also make mistakes like in their first fight that's why he got surgery after the fight.

This is a revenge for Donaire and a good achievement for his retirement if he wins this fight.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 22, 2022, 09:02:36 AM
I also lost on this game, riding on the -6.5 for the Celtics to win at home.

But it's a different scenario, Celtics this time starting slow and let the Heat established a good lead in the first quarter alone. Although they cut the lead to 2 if I'm not mistaken, the Heat is composed not to let this game slip away from them.

Marcus Smart injury is painful to watch though.  Sad

Looking forward to the next game: Warriors vs Mavs again.

But Marcus smart still managed to finish the game, so I presume that he is okay. Heat got the lead but the series is still not over, once the Celtics were able to tie it in game 4, this series will be more interesting as it's just going to be the best of 3 series.

Next game, Tatum has to explode, Brown alone could not help his team to win, he needs his buddy.
1912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 07:42:38 AM
^^ There's no "Warrior like comeback", from Boston. The Heat manages to hold them off and win the 4th quarter with good defense.

What a solid game from Bam, tonight, he leads the Heat with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Kyle Lowry played limited minutes but it was enough to help the Heat as well with 11. Brown taking over with the absence of Tatum with 40 big points but it wasn't enough.

Big statement by the Heat, I thought Celtics would take games 3 and 4, but Heat is there to surprise us. Great game so far, Lowry is really big help, he gives energy to the team and I like what Bam did, it was his best game so far in the series, with consistency, I think they'll be hard to beat.
1913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 22, 2022, 07:10:00 AM
let's get realistic here, TerraFirma is not a team a player would want to play because it's a trash team and players are not as motivated when they are playing on a big team like Pangilinan and Cojuangco owned teams. PBA is just being monopolized, that's the real score actually, that's why I understand why players are upset when they get traded in a weak team.

That's the reality in our beloved PBA  Grin. Every trade has its own drama but fans/community can do nothing about it even if we rant on social media, that will not still have an effect on the decision of Willie Marcial.

In this case of Javy and Gray, i could that Terrafirma really needed guys that could help their campaign ASAP which they could not get from Gray as he is suffering/recovering from an injury while Ginebra could wait for his return as they won't need him as they have reliable guys on his position. Fair trade for me.

We will eventually find it out who wins the trade once the season starts. It will start next month, so we better prepared our bet for that as for sure everyone will be putting their bets again. It's a long break, but the good thing is that everything is back to normal already.

Currently, the bitcoin price is still in the price range of around $39k-$40k making it difficult for bitcoin to increase significantly to reach its target price of $100k by the middle of this year.

Today bitcoin is getting close to $35k or maybe it will drop below $35k, looking at facts like this of course we regret not selling bitcoins when the price reaches $60k or $50k, I bought the last bitcoin around $650 at $48k and seems to have to be patient to get RoI or profit.
5 days after ? it drops not only below 35k but below 30k , actually almost belor 25k days ago as now we have recovered and we knew that there are some chances this may turn oppositely .
Bitcoin is currently ins table value m and we can find some things to enjoy this market .


Exactly, Now bitcoin market very tough to predict bitcoin price. Bitcoin price already huge dropped this and and the previous month bitcoin price was $40k around. But this month bitcoin price continue dropping and the last few days bitcoin price staying $29k-30k.What do you think, bitcoin price will be early rising next month?I think bitcoin price will recover again but need long time for that.

There's no assurance that it will rise next month, we just have to make our own guess and do the right action. It's very unpredictable, we might think that we have already seen the dip but it's also possible that the price will dump more. The scary part is that bitcoin has not recovered yet, instead, it stays at $29k, so I have a feeling that we will see a lower price in the coming weeks, but like I said, there's no guarantee it will happen.

If you are bullish, then buying now is the right thing to do.

This is simply just market volatility, you should be aware that investing in crypto is very risky because of its volatile nature. You purchase it at a lower price, cheaper than the current price, and although you already see a $63k price, you still choose to hold, so I suggest that you should do the same, bitcoin will eventually bounce back once the bear market is over.

Will we see a 3-0 after game 3?

It's hard to answer that question because the Mavericks would not allow that.
However, Warriors are just a good team, it's hard to beat them, so Luka does need more help from his teammates especially on the defensive side.

Once again, Dinwiddie was inconsistent, on game 2, he only scored 4 and made 4 turnovers, he need to score like 20+ so Mavs will have a better chance to win.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 19, 2022, 08:36:11 AM
Miami Heat have already got 1-0 ahead in their series against Boston Celtics. And truthfully, this was a thing that I was expecting to see. I knew that Celtics were incredibly good in the last games against Bucks. But this is a brand new series and Heat are also a very strong opponent for them. I expected Heat to show their quality and threaten Celtics at the same time. And they did this very well. Butler was amazing by 41 pts. And I feel like Heat will be winning the second game also but let's see.

Yup, Miami Heat did well on their 1st game and they succeed. Actually, I also expected that the first games of both conference will be dominated by Miami Heat and GSW, so it did happen. They may have a good start on the whole series but they should not lower their guard because these opposing teams are capable to eat them if they let it happen, both teams are watching for these mistakes so that they could turn it into their advantage.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 18, 2022, 06:06:34 PM
Now that the last year's rival in the NBA finals has gone, I preferred new teams this time and I think the Mavs have all the chances to defeat GSW if they managed to pull out the same gameplay when they beat the number 1 team in the western conference but this is the conference final and not the same as the games they have won in the fast and I think this is the first time Luka managed to push his team up to this point, I really wanted him to win the championship since he might not get any chance to step back in this point in the future.

As much as I want to see the Mavs winning the championship again since Dirk, but on the contrary I'd really love to see the Boston Celtics succeed this time. I mean they have been working so hard since LeBron was still in Cleveland but they can't get passed on the ECF. Now, that they're facing Miami another tough opponent, I know they can make it.
Whichever team goes out to the Finals from the West, I'm pretty sure Boston can match them.

Yes I understand your opinion but for me, I also want some fresh face and teams in the finals this season that's why I'm rooting for both the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics as these two teams are much deserving to be the champion this season because these teams have been impressive throughout the season.

But on the contrary, they should prove that they are really worthy to be called as a champion as both of these teams are against heavy teams which is Miami Heat and GSW.

The Bivol - Canelo fight result is something we least expected and we could have it again in this fight, we considered the Bivol Canelo a mismatch but look what happened, Bivol teach Canelo a lesson in boxing, will we see the same scenario here can Romero come out a Bivol like performance I don't rule it out but his team should come out something new for Tank, they all know how Tank works, they should anticipate this.
How could you tell that this fight would result to a same scenario like the Canelo-Bivol fight? There maybe a chance but those chances will not be always the result as Rolly Romero is nowhere near Dmitry Bivol and so does Tank Davis and Canelo.

I understand your point but we cannot just anticipate that the underdog (Romero) will also win in this fight just because we have seen some few upsets this year especially the Canelo-Bivol fight.
