but as far as my observation is concern it is Donaire who may lose the opportunity to win again because nowadays he losses his speed and powerpunches in which the disadvantage in beating Inoue?

I think you have to watch the recent fights of Nonito Donaire. Maybe you can start from their first match with Naoya Inoue. Or start from the tournament before facing Inoue in the Finals. Watch how he climbed the ladder at that veteran age until beating the prime and young Reymart Gaballo.

From watching those, tell us where did you notice that nowadays Nonito losses his speed and power punches.

Maybe you can come back and will change your statement regarding that. Smiley

I, for one, don't know that Converge is an internet service provider lol, so I think this is good exposure for them and good for us internet consumers, as well as there, are more options to us on what we will subscribe to.

Really? Just curious here. Where do you live, mate? Converge is popular here in Metro Manila even prior to entering the market. They are anticipated to be the kryptonite of other ISPs here but looks like they are overrated. In stock trading, lots of traders gained profit from them because of the hype.

Back to PBA, I hope they will push their mission to be part of the PBA. We need a team that will cover Alaska's departure.

We just have to hope too that it won't be a farm team.

What do you think? Dare to play $5/spin in a slot with more than 400k max-win? For me, I'd stick to 5,000x max-win Cheesy

Personally, A big no for me unless I have the same financial capability as those persons who won the jackpot. That $5 per bet is nothing as they can afford to lose it. However, if that's their average or usual bet prior to winning the jackpot, I admire their guts to take the risks.

Like the famous quote, no pain no gain, no guts no glory, high-risk high rewards.

Also eyeing to win a jackpot for an average of $1 per bet. When will my time come? Cheesy

It’s so early to predict Ginebra and Meralco in the while in fact Magnolia and NLEX are very strong team in this season. I’m actually aiming one of this 2 team in the finals. Ginebra is indeed strong to sweep TNT but TNT import is not that good compare to other teams in the league. But as usual, Ginebra is always strong during Semis to Finals due to the amount of support they are getting from bandwagon pinoy and pinay fans.  Cheesy

Things have changed now to NLEX since they are playing with a new import. Ginebra can't match NLEX on their first meeting and Brownlee was the only one doing the job for Ginebra. With today's status, I think Ginebra can match NLEX in a series match and probably more chances for them to reach the Finals. Not predicting it early but who knows that while the replacement of McDaniels is continuing to just move forward, he will be able to replicate or maybe much better compare to McDaniels.

But what if a good turnaround happens and instead, we will see Meralco and NLEX in the Finals. It's something unusual as we always SMC on the Finals.

At least once every few conferences, we should see the Finals like that.
1926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 19, 2022, 03:04:42 PM
GGG vs Canelo would happen if the rumors are true, but they have to defeat their opponent first in their coming fight. As a fan, all I wish is to see a fight between the best of the best, and GGG vs Canelo is surely one of the best fights to see

Actually, that rumor is already not a rumor since likely it will really happen. But first, GGG and Canelo should win in their respective matches against Murata and Bivol. It's a big money fight that even Canelo is not interested anymore in a trilogy, he will accept the offer. It's also a big opportunity for him to silence the doubts that he won the 1st and 2nd matches. Canelo will now be able to seal who's the winner by defeating GGG for the last time.

But GG also has the same goal, to win. Although he's already 40 years at the time of the fight, let's hope that he will still give a difficult fight to Canelo who is currently in his prime.

and of course, our very own Casimero fighting Inoue, that's another treat.

There's already a negotiation between Donaire and Inoue that will likely happen first.

I'd rather see Donaire having revenge win on Inoue before involving Casimero in the discussion.
1927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: March 19, 2022, 02:44:08 PM
But it was a long time ago, maybe the power of Murata has change, or maybe the language barrier was the issue that's why Murata seems to be serious in sparring. So we will wait, that fight is getting closer and once GGG win, he has done his part, it's time for Canelo to win his fight and set up the final match between the two of them.

Yes, there are lots of things happened now since that sparring and both boxers are also in a different status now. I don't know if Murata will be able to put a hard fight with GGG but he should do that and not allow GGG to win easily.

Even he's a sure underdog on this fight, showing what he can do to the likes of GGG might give him another shot against a popular boxer.

GGG on the other hand should not treat Murata as a heavy underdog and just do his usual when fighting against anyone.

He needs to be fully prepared if he wants to take another shot to fight Canelo Alvarez which is currently at his peak and has no signs of any slowing down.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 19, 2022, 02:26:21 PM
ugas definitely is preparing for this upcoming fight as it is a very challenging one for him. he knows, bookies and boxing fans are favouring spence jr here. he's the underdog as clearly seen from the odds. so can he put up a good fight with spence? we will see it inside the ring. but more then likely it is not a boring fight. this i believe is worth to watch and bet on. if you feel that ugas has a very good chance of winning on this match, the odds are actually good with about 4.35x, that's a good return of your money if he wins.

Ugas asked and requested for this fight to happen therefore we should expect that he's not going to make things easy for Spence to win.

I even want to bet on him if the odds will increase more. Since I'm not a fan of two, why not bet on the underdog as it seems it's worth risking for. Ugas is maybe underdog on sportsbook but I think there's a good chance he might make an upset for a much stronger Errol Spence.

I will decide where should I place my bet at least 2-3 before the fight.
1929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 19, 2022, 02:11:24 PM
If you think like this there's a lot of money to be made because the majority seems to think that Tagoe has slim chance of winning. I don't know him and his style so I can't say much but I'm sure people who know much more than me are taking these bets.

Nothing wrong to place a bet on the underdog as upset always happened but can't really find a good reason why an upset will happen here. Not saying Tagoe doesn't have a chance to win or as you said, a slim chance of winning but technically, Ryan Garcia is just too much for Tagoe.

But let's see if there's something special that might others a reason why a bet on Tagoe is worth placing for.

In the end, he won't be considered to fight Garcia if there's a question about his capability to win.
1930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in METAVERSE on: March 19, 2022, 02:00:08 PM
Metaverse can never be good for decentralization, everything about it will be regulated in a way people's data can be easily accessible to the government. If possible there would be gambling sites on Metaverse, all of them will have to comply to the rules of mandating their customers to verify before making use of their metaverse gambling service.

Prior to this metaverse stuff, we can now feel that centralization is now hitting up crypto-gambling sites today. There are now sites that involve KYC and big winnings are subject to identity verification before a user can claim which should not be a requirement since that's what crypto-gambling is all about anonymity.

Since crypto-gambling sites have no choice but to comply with it, in the first place, to make their business legit, they should follow the law, we also don't have a choice but to follow.

Regardless of there's a Metaverse touch on our gambling experience, that verification will still be the same.
1931  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: March 19, 2022, 01:47:39 PM
I played before in stake but I don't receive any information that they made a partnership with Drake well if that so it's a good marketing to get a huge name joins to their platform for sure its large promotions and budget to become part of them for sure tons of new gambler comes with the stake because they start a partnership with them so it already build trust because of the star and of course drake doesn't want to break those trust of his followers and its good to courage more player to the stake.

If you are subscribed to their newsletter (wait, this is optional guys, right?) you should receive an email about Drake being a partner of Stake. Yes, I agree with you that involving Stake is good marketing knowing he is really popular, especially in NBA. He's always watching the Toronto Raptors game and is one of the popular figures in the NBA.

His gambling habit also makes things easy for the partnership. Of course, a gambling site should just make a partnership that knows what gambling is in general and is already played on the site.

We should expect Drake to mention or do some marketing for the Stake from now on. I'm just wondering if he will attempt to make sounds of Stake while watching the NBA like he's wearing a t-shirt of Stake etc.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 19, 2022, 01:34:14 PM
It will be different even if Canelo would win via decision and people will not be surprised because he is the popular fighter unlike the scenario in Pacman vs Horn where everyone expects Manny will win even before the fight.  Of course, the home-court advantage was huge in that fight, and that clearly tells boxing is corrupt because we have judges who make bias scoring probably for the money.

Let's just hope that no controversies or issues will be raised after the fight. We can see clearly if something is wrong with the result if we watch the fight. There's an incident before that a win can be reversed if there are enough valid pointers and proof to do it.

But that was just a what if. We can expect that this fight will end up with a fair result. No questions if one of them will be KO but for decision, I'm expecting that judges will be fair and square.

It's a big match and I'm sure no one will ruin the fight result if ever it will come up in a decision.
1933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos invest on endorsement from celebrities on: March 19, 2022, 01:20:09 PM
Should casinos invest in the endorsement of celebrities just like what Stakes is doing or it's better to just stick with giveaways contests and maintain their reputation, we know we all know the high cost of celebrity endorsement should other casinos follow Stake's lead to partner or pay celebrities to promote them.

That is something not necessary but offering an endorsement is somehow a sign that a casino can afford to do it. We know how much money needs for that kind of advertisement. It's also not simple to just pick a celebrity since the person involved should also know how the gambling platform works.

It's happened that Drake is already familiar and playing on Stake for a long.

While he plays, how about making him another face of the site. That's a good boost to the Stake's popularity even more.
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 19, 2022, 01:06:55 PM

That's one thing to be proud of despite the backlashes and people that dislike him for showing the true attitude that he has. 1 month left and we're going to see them spar.

Fans do not want a fighter who does trash-talk, therefore we should get used to it. However, we cannot deny that Casimero is one of the best boxers in the PH, and despite his attitude in boxing, he can still be something that we should be proud of. People stop talking about him but if he will beat Butler then we should expect that the talks between Casimero and Inoue will again relieve.

I guess there are fans who wanted to hear fighters trash talk, but not someone from PH though, Manny didn't trash talk to any of his opponents as far as I can remember, he just smile and then let his fist do the talking. So Casimero being an PH fighter should follow the norm. But I guess he wanted to be different from the rest of the PH fighters and he chooses to do trash talking, it become effective to some extend but now it doesn't sound good, literally.

And others now looked at trash-talking by Casimero as bad karma to what happened to him.

He trash-talks Donaire's wife, no fight.
He trash-talks Inoue, no fight.
He said that no need for training against Butler, he ended up failing the weigh-in.

People around Casimero might tell him to shut up his mouth for the meantime and just focus on the preparation of the fight. There's no other trashtalk we hear after that failure in weigh-in a day before the fight with Paul Butler.
1935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 19, 2022, 12:56:11 PM
Also, bad decision for the TNT for changing their import in the do or die game, there's no chemistry been created yet so you cannot expect them to win. s

How come it was a bad decision?

TNT's import suffers an injury and if they don't replace him, it would be TNT playing without an import in a Do Or Die game. Seriously do you want TNT to play without an import in a very important game? They are left with no choice but to hire another one. It's even hard to choose an import that is available right away to play.

They just lack what needs to win the game. Ginebra did a great job.

I will choose BTCGOSU.

They are so far a review site where providing, reviews, feedback and anything else came from real-user experience. Other review sites just doing feedback based on the general reviews they found on the internet.
BTCGOSU is indeed one of the most reliable casino review websites we have here. They also have the most active announcement thread on this forum with more than 51 pages of replies which proves their commitment and dedication to what they do.
But, afaik, GamblingBro also make their reviews after testing the casinos with real deposits and they are gamblers themselves. Not sure about the other websites though!

I didn't vote because I believe customers/gamblers shouldn't limit themselves to one source.They should read more as many reviews as possible (from reliable sources) then make their own mind.

Own preferences although our vote shouldn't reflect that a certain review site is the only one reliable.

It's just that the poll is about Favorite. I like them all honestly but the choices on the poll only allow us to pick one. Smiley

Also happened that BTCGOSU is the only review site I have encountered here where the author is also an active forum user prior to creating that review site. It means they truly know the gambling environment here and know what users here really looked for in choosing a crypto-gambling site.

And this silent the critiques of Westbrook for at least some time with this kind of performance from him. Positive news for AD though, there seems to be a lot of development so hopefully they can make it to the playoffs and maybe he can play. Vogel should stop experimenting with smaller player, he should put Dwight their more often to play as the man in the middle.

It's tough for Westbrook to regain momentum while there are lots of criticizing him because of his poor plays. He should take that as an inspiration to work hard more. I know he's trying his best but it's just that, he's not the same as before.

I'm sure his teammates are giving him some good words of advice on how to deal with lots of negative reviews. LeBron lives on that since then but still making good production so I'm sure Westbrook can also be like that. Not with the points, not with the rebounds, not with the assists, and so on but on how to blend properly with his teammates regardless of who's on the floor.

They just have to make sure to get on the play-in to fight for the playoffs spot while waiting for Anthony Davis to return in action.
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 19, 2022, 11:23:19 AM
I don't know how many more much they left but if they still have a chance to get a spot in playoffs, They can finally make it if they will continue to be consistent like this.

One thing for sure, the Lakers will play in the play-in tournament to get into the playoffs. They are over 10 games behind the 7th and there's no way they can catch up on it. However, they are just only 3 wins ahead of the 11th spot, and chances of not getting into the playoffs have a chance if they will not try to make more winnings from now on.

Russell Westbrook's inconsistency should now be lessened. Ignore those massive criticisms about him and stay focused. It's clear that when he performed well, it's a big contribution to the Lakers, especially to Lebron that is putting up good numbers consistently.

Lakers @ 2.06 vs Wizards next game. I'm sure they will have a 2-game winning streak.

1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 17, 2022, 11:59:08 PM
His family lives in Russia, out of the sounds of the war as they are safe there compare to Ukraine that already been under attack. Russia also seems fine even they have lots of economic sanctions. I don't see he will be distracted by his family but by what his country is doing. But since there will be a task to do, I'm sure he is focusing on his training as that's necessary.

Canelo Alvarez is a tough man to beat and Bivol should always be on his relaxed mindset condition to be able to train hard and wise.

There are stakes at risk on this match and both parties understand that losing is not an option.


Canelo Alvarez is indeed a tough man to beat and I somewhat doubt the rumor going about that he is distracted by fears and doubts of uncertainty with his family living in Russia in the current international situation of the war in Ukraine. Alvarez has always been quite concentrated on his training and his fights. If he was that troubled he could easily get his family out of there. People are fleeing out of Russia and nobody is stopping them.

So the question isn't about Canelo Alvarez's mental health. He is strong and ready.

We are not talking about Canelo Alvarez here. It's Dmitry Bivol who lived in Russia and has friends there and also in Ukraine. Right now, there's no danger in Russia as the invasion is happening in Ukraine. That's where Bivol concerned is although I'm sure he already understands that and trusts everything in the future that everything will be ok.

He won't be distracted on his ongoing practice and his team will help them do that. Not unless the situation got worst (no-no. There's a rumor that the fight might be delayed or canceled due to the ongoing conflict but let's remain positive it won't happen.

Defeating Canelo must only be on his mind. He should focus on that as much as he can.
