I like to bring it here since we have to specific thread for this.

What do you think about this latest news of KAI SOTTO?

Kai Sotto declares for 2022 NBA Draft

Does he have a chance to be drafted? if there is, how big and on what team?

This is the trend, Kai Sotto is probably not the favorite to be drafted but as long as he is in the list he gets a chance to get drafted.

I was thinking that he won't be able to make it, but this news gives Kai closer to his goal.
And actually, here's another news.

1982  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: April 28, 2022, 05:04:10 AM

Honestly, I don't trust Magsayo completely in this fight as I was a bit disappointed with the way he fight in his previous fight although he won. I don't know this Vargas but if Magsayo will not improve his style, I think he will experience his first defeat.
i agree, it seems his performance is getting worse not the same before and he was just lucky enough that he won on the previous fight.
For me surely vargas just want to take this opportunity before moving up, because he knows mark magasayo is easy for him, and yes if magsayo didn't improve his style and performance, in my view this match would be his worst nightmare.

I'm not sure the word "easy" is the right thing to use, that would not happen here, if Vargas will win, for sure Magsayo will give him a good fight. Well, I don't want to be bias so I think Magsayo chance to win here is not as high as the betting odds.

1984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: <<<NBA>>> Pelicans vs Suns GAME 5 on: April 27, 2022, 08:18:32 AM
Yes their series is now tied 2-2 but I'm still going with the Suns here even if Devin Booker can't still play with the team, they still have CP3 laying the table for the team even if he is not who's making the most shots also I found that McGee have been good despite having long exposure so they might give him the time he needed later in the game. This 5th game will be much tougher as both teams already have knowledge what to do and when it needed, I can't deny but I think this series will reach up to Game 7. What do you think folks?
true, even there's no booker in the team they still have potential to beat pelicans, in my view these situation is the same in the previous season that CP3 cant play because of injury and booker is the one that pushing the team to the finals. So now its time for CP3 to lead his team mate while booker can't play.

The only difference was Booker contributes more points especially in crucial part of the game but Chris Paul is very good as a leader and to calm his team mate in times when the enemy has the momentum. There’s a pros and cons but Booker gives more contribution than Chris Paul statistically wise. I wonder how far they can go on playoffs with this line-up.

Btw congratulations for Suns on taking back the lead on this series. They might finish this series next match.

The Suns are lucky enough that Booker is the one who was injured and not CP3 because his leadership is really effective and with him on the court makes the team knows more what to do because he is the one who is laying it for them while he is the one who assists them to get that shot and make it. But Booker though is still needed in the team because they will still struggle to find that entry points without him as he is the one who makes the most shots. Hopefully he will be back in the next game.

I am not entirely sure if Nets would blow things up this early. This was the first year where they could have played all three together and Kyrie caused a rift between the players, Harden hated the fact that he was given the right to not play and that is why he left.

This will be a full season where they will play together in 22-23 season and they could become better. Obviously build a better team around those two but at the same time we shouldn't consider kicking Kyrie or Durant out and rebuilding already, that would be too rush of a decision. So I believe that we could end up with a proper team with one full proper season and can see them actually do something.

Why kick Durant? he's consistent so far and been lifting up Nets this season also he's not really the main problem of this team since he provides quality numbers so this is a huge loss for Nets if they let this guy out of their line up. Maybe they should think about Kyrie should be out of their line up since he go on different controversy and that totally affect their line up and his gameplay. His ego is also problem on their team so I guess they should trade him since they also have another problem in the presence of Simmons. Then guess what will happen if Kyrie and Simmons ego will clash in the middle of the game for sure their chemistry will destroyed and they cannot play well together.

I have given a thought about that one too, both Kyrie and Simmons have big egos and them clashing in the middle of important games would be so unfortunate but the only difference between them is that Kyrie can still prove that he is worth it while Simmons can't, this man have a psychological problem aside from his ego. While Durant on the other hand, he is always consistent in his forcing himself to carry the even if it's so hard to do.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: April 26, 2022, 03:04:30 PM

I would likely be rooting for Valdez because of the odds. Damn they made this guy the underdog when he is just 30. He can do what Shakur can do and even better as they are both undefeated. Shakur doesn't often knock out his foe in the ring.

The one that I'm just going to suspect though is that Shakur is being hyped by Top Rank.  Not saying that Valdez would sell the game but its possible if his loss is very obvious.

Yes, it's true that Oscar Valdez is labeled as an underdog despite of his KO capabilities and good defensive style, him being the underdog is good for us because the odds are much prettier than the crowd and sports favorite Shakur Stevenson who's record isn't that much attractive together with his KO capabilities. Aside from betting, my support also goes for Valdez.

I'm also confused why Valdez is the underdog because his records is indeed more impressive than Stevenson. As for the odds, might as well take advantage of this chance while we can take this odds because I have a feeling that this odds will move and not be this pretty until the day of the fight.

Any speculations here on how would this fight ends? I'm thinking that this will be a split or unanimous.
1987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 26, 2022, 02:28:54 PM
We've talk about how great Canelo is, and we are saying that he is still peaking and reaching his prime. And you guys are correct because he himself said that:

Quote
“It’s boxing, but nobody can beat me right now,” Alvarez said on the Boxing with Chris Mannix podcast. “I feel in my prime.

"And no disrespect to other fighters. There’s some great fighters. But I feel in my prime. I feel strong. I feel in my best.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-nobody-beat-me-right-now-im-my-prime--165766

And with this kind of confidence, yeah, I don't think that anybody can beat Canelo from 160-175 lbs at this point. He is too good for other boxers even for GGG, although we can give credit to GGG for giving Canelo his toughest fight in his career.

I cannot even disagree on every word he said because that was all true and actually his confidence speaks for himself not because he is boasting but because his record is outstanding. The only thing that keeps me following Canelo is his humbleness and keeping himself knowledgeable on every fights he got even if he is in the ring, he is still learning without changing his facial reaction. No doubt that he is the 6th boxer to be the undisputed champion, he deserved it!

Congratulations to the Nets for being the only team to be swept in the first round of the 2021-2022 season. I thought it would be the Bulls but they did better Grin What do you think about Nash's performance as a coach in this series? I thought they had a decent squad to push the Celtics but it looks like he's been outplayed by Udoka.

Boston is just strong enough Nets. Nets don’t have reliable center to protect the hoof and at the same time get an offensive rebound unlike Boston with so strong Theis, Even only his presence will make attacker very uncomfortable. Nets is not that strong this year, They are just hype because of Durant and Irving duo but besides that, they are nothing. I’m excited on Milwaukee and Boston matchup!

There's a lot of people and fans that is hoping for the Nets to be more competitive, their defense is not that strong but it is only proven when they got their first faceoff with the Celtics. Nobody has been looking that the Nets could be this poor until the playoffs begin and the Celtics have won in the 1st game until they got 4 consecutive wins without getting defeated.

Congratulations for the Boston Celtics for being the 1st team to advance the next round.

 I'm really seeing a rematch even if Kambosos will lose or Haney.


It still going to depend on the match, if its a close fight and the result is a majority or a split decision then it deserves a rematch but if one boxer totally dominated the other boxer, I don't think there will be interest in a rematch, we all know promoters they want to see if the fight will generate interest if not they will just shelve it or the purse will be lower than the first fight.

Certainly the point, rematch will only happen if the fight will end in a close bout without some knockouts in between rounds or their skills don't have much gap. Either way, this is an interesting match and only time can answer if there will be some rematch after this. Might as well watch and enjoy this fight first because both boxers have something to prove and both have a clean record. Only one of them will survive as I think a draw in this fight is not possible.
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 25, 2022, 05:18:14 PM
This will be a challenge to the Brooklyn Nets if they can recover this huge deficit, as far as history tells, there's no team that have recovered from that huge deficit.

That's the end of the journey for the Brooklyn Nets. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are both unstoppable once they find their respective rhythm. They really improved their shooting that even if it's properly defended, they are making it. Boston Celtics now know how to slow down Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Tatum is the one guarding Kyrie and if ever this guy is able to pass Tatum's defense, there's Marcus Smart protecting the shaded area.

The Nets gambling to get superstars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant didn't paid well. That's might not be the key for the franchise to get the championship.

It's not yet the end of their journey as they have 1 last chance before they get eliminated, that will be a tough challenge for the Nets but I know they will make it worth it. The talents of Boston is undeniably impressive since the playoffs season have commenced, that 3-0 run was definitely a feat that they achieved against the Nets. They should work on their defense more and put some proper players for that job because their duo is already guarded.

Quote

It is Kevin Durant who's guarded by Jayson Tatum and Irving by Marcus Smart.


1991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 25, 2022, 04:43:40 PM

On my side, I'm disappointed because his last resort to reduce his weight is not reasonable at all. They cannot have an excuse that they forgot because they are busy on getting Casimero's weight fixed, nah! That doesn't work like that, his weight is always a problem and will be a problem again if he doesn't move out on this division. Yes, his dreams to fight against Donaire or Inoue is far from reality for now as he needs to start again.

Sorry, I got mixed up on the thread's title. Forgot that the thread of Casimero or Sultan has been locked already.

He's out of the picture now. It's for Donaire and Inoue now that we will wait to take place, and moving back to the topic.

I would like to see if how Donaire will prepare for this fight, in terms of power punches or combos. Donaire still has that killing instinct

if Inoue will be careless, the chance of him being KO is still be possible. We saw that from Donaire's last fight he carefully analyzes

his movement and take the finishing attacks when he notices what the lapses from his opponent.

Yes, sorry for that confusion. Anyway you are right, let's go back to Inoue and Donaire as this thread is for made for them.

As usual, Donaire is so determined to correct his mistakes on their first encounter and now that he have those knowledge, he will make sure this time that his punches will be felt more when it lands to Inoue but I know that the latter have also made some preparations of his own as he also learned that Donaire can still do a knockout punch if he will get caught by that punches. My best guess is that Inoue will make Donaire weary in the early rounds so that the latter won't be effective anymore in the late rounds.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 25, 2022, 10:07:04 AM
Jokic is doing everything he can for his team to avoid a sweep with 30+ points already. The fourth quarter just started and I hope he doesn't disappear at this crucial stage even if defense tightens up on him. GSW can turn thks game around at any time.

Things are going well for them so far. This series shouldn't end as a sweep, Denver deserve more. Jokic takes responsibility. Gordon and Morris need to put more weight to the game. On the other side Klay and Steph are effective players. I just hope we will see game five.
They Nuggets made it! They survived getting swept in the 1st round of playoffs, the standing is now 3-1 in favor of the Warriors ofcourse.

They owned the first half and had a good run giving the Warriors a hard time that's why they just managed to recover in the 3rd quarter but it's too late for them because Jokic is already on beast mode contributing 37 points while grabbing 8 rebounds with the help of Morris and Gordon who also made 20+ points. I'm saying that they have learned to adjust in the playoffs but it is still to soon to conclude it as they are still in a dangerous spot. 1 more defeat and they will be eliminated.
1993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 25, 2022, 09:34:27 AM
I think he already put that in his mind that he should not be distracted by the people especially now that there's a conflict in their country against the whole world, there's no need for him to worry that much because booing is just a part of it because he is fighting in a hostile country where Canelo is certainly the favorite. But yes, I surely do hope that the level of hostility is not that bad and only just some verbal approach.
right, he must be aware that the ridicule did come from outside and what he is doing now is completely different and has nothing to do with the war that is currently happening because of course he also doesn't want this because it will definitely be a bit of a hindrance for him.

Canelo is still the seed but when he loses when there is ridicule and bluff for him about his country's problems there is definitely a reason for him to dodge Grin

That, I believe, would be the motivation of Bivol on this fight.
But we will see if Canelo is indeed prepared for this weight division.
GGG is waiting for him already. So don't know what will happen if in case, Canelo will lose to Bivol on this match.
But Canelo is still the favorite of sportsbooks. Can Canelo live up to the expectations of his fans? Let us watch...

He don't have any choice either, he need to make that as his motivation rather than a hindrance and he should be well used to it without thinking any hostile activities outside the ring because chances are that people will only do some verbal actions at him and not the other way around.

Canelo on the other hand have already stepped foot on this specific division but Bivol holds more experience on this division than him because he is the defending champion. We may see Canelo adjust and be more comfortable just like what he always do whereas the latter is already comfortable as this is division. It will be a tough fight between these two, cannot wait to see it.
1994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 25, 2022, 09:05:55 AM
Casimero and his camp should just accept their fate that their preparations to have a fight is now gone, they knew that they are already been watched since he got in UK because of his sudden weight loss and the sad thing is they still bend the rules into their benefit even if they knew it's unfair to the opposing party. Casimero's weight problem wouldn't be a problem if he moved up but instead he remained in this division trying to force himself sink his weight even if he cannot do it.

I believe Casimero's camp thinks that if he moves up his power won't be a big thing in that category so they decided to stay in his present weight category to take advantage but it backed fire.  I hope I am wrong but I think he will be just another ordinary boxer if he moves up.

That might be true but they wouldn't really know unless they try moving up in the next division, he have nothing to lose now because he will be stripped on his current belts so it might be best now try another division as his regular weight belongs to super bantamweight or even featherweight division. Also I don't think he will remain in the bantamweight either because he will always have a problem with his weight and that won't change.

Issues happened already and I think Casimero should think about stepping up on higher weight class since he struggles if he push this and might this will totally make his career doomed if he push to stay lower. Trying upward might help him and he can fight more bigger stars that can possibly lift his career up.
Casimero doesn't need to think hardly about it because he don't have that much of a choice now, he will start climbing the ranks again so why not make that climb in the next upper division where his weight would not be a big problem for him. His power might not be the same but his weight won't not be a big problem for him and he don't have to cheat on it anymore.

this thread is about inoue and donaire, and yet, we are still discussing casimero here.  Grin i guess, many of his followers got disappointed because of this recurring weight problem. he needs to move up if he can't achieve the target weight. would be comfortable for him if he doesn't need to worry this aspect. and just work on his techniques and game plan. he's like starting brand new and chasing after inoue may be off the table for now.

On my side, I'm disappointed because his last resort to reduce his weight is not reasonable at all. They cannot have an excuse that they forgot because they are busy on getting Casimero's weight fixed, nah! That doesn't work like that, his weight is always a problem and will be a problem again if he doesn't move out on this division. Yes, his dreams to fight against Donaire or Inoue is far from reality for now as he needs to start again.

1995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 24, 2022, 09:34:07 PM
I still think the New Jersey Nets are the most like I to win the championship though the Celtics knocking them off in game one does give me a little bit of pause. If the Nets aren’t going to win it I think I’m placing my money on the Golden State Warriors. I just feel like when it comes down to it they’ve got too much fire power. The best thing though is that this is all debatable being that there is no clear cut best team like so frequently there was in years past.
No problem if the Warriors do not gain the championship favorite, i'm still convinced that my bet will only go to Warriors. After all, its always fun and thrilled betting from an underdog. However, whoever our team's preference, i guess all the teams deserve the cheers because they have been working so hard from the very beginning. After all, let the final game determines the best among the rest, but as for now let's just enjoy the twists and turns happening in every game.
It's still too early in the playoffs, we are still in the first round but thus far the Warriors are showing the most consistent game and their line up is healthy now. If they will win tonight, they could rest early and that would help the players that has a minor injury to recover a bit. They were down double digit against the Nuggets in game 4, but now it's only a single digit game although the Nuggets are still leading, I have a feeling there's no more game 5.
1996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: April 24, 2022, 08:41:12 PM
Oscar Valdez might not gonna enjoy this one because Stevenson is capable of turning the table of this fight once he can take the punches against Oscar. This is how Unification bout should be and as we all know, they are not really that popular compared to the other boxers and they need to sell this fight with their good performances and some unforgettable events that would gonna escalate the pay-per-view sales of their next fight.
If Stevenson will go toe to toe it will be the advantage of Valdez because it's his style, he can throw and take punches as well, that's what I like about this guy because he is fun to watch, and though he is an underdog here, I would still think his chance legit to win and I see that value on the betting odds.

The current odds for Valdez is +500, that's very attractive.

Have you guys noticed that CStand was playing so well in the finals series? Ordinary fans could not notice his contributions but the hassle he gave to the Ginebra Kings was amazing plus the fact that he control the boards so well in the absence of Japeth Aguilar.

I hope that all the rumors of CStand's relationship with teammates is not now under the bridge and he stays with the team and win more trophies with them as he also a crowd drawer IMO, so he is fit to play with Ginebra.

C Stand have proven himself to be a champion, he won a championship on both SMB and BGSM, so he is a true San Miguel Warrior. Yeah, I love the way he played in the Finals, he was aggressive and in fact I saw a big improvement on his mid range shooting. Having Japeth and him in the middle is really a big problem for the opposing team, so as long as C Stand will stay, the management would probably keep him.
1998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 24, 2022, 06:34:46 PM
I really thought the Nets would try to win that game even if it kills them. But Durant was defended too well and he was getting frustrated about it.
That's not the KD that I had known before. He will do anything just to get that shot that he wants, proving no one can defend him with his length and shooting capability.
Same here, also thought that today will be a different game but unfortunately it was worse than the 2nd game. It's the Boston Celtics who won the game and actually while I'm watching it, it's like that the Celtics are always having a good run and turns out to be an easy game for them because KD and Irving is well guarded already. Tatum poured an easy 39 points while KD was so depressed why he cannot make a clear shot, yes he was not the same KD that we knew.
1999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 24, 2022, 05:50:52 PM
I didn't think the Boston Celtics could beat their opponent so easily, Brooklyn Nets can't do anything. Jayson Tatum played amazing and scored 39 points and played a big part in beating his opponents.
Not only is it possible to win matches with Durant and Kyrie, the rest of the team is playing pretty poorly. So it was a match that was going to end fast Smiley

The skills and chemistry of the Boston Celtics are quite amazing because they managed to bring their hot play in the playoffs without pressing themselves and just simply win every game against the Nets. We all know that the Nets are struggling near the end of the season because of the James Harden trade that they don't really get the quick adaptation with their current new players. The result was hard for them to adjust and as we can see, they struggled so much to win even a single game in the playoff.

Even if Harden wasn't trade to the Sixers there's no changes at all because he is also an alpha who specializes in offense and not in the defense, what they need is a proper player who don't have to score good but his defensive styles will be efficient to prevent the other team getting easy shots. If the trade didn't happened then they won't also have Drummond who is good at the center and Seth Curry.

Anyways, Ben Simmons will play this Monday against the Celtics (Game 4) it's sad that his existence in the team will only be tested when they are in a dangerous spot. If they will lose again this Monday then that is already a goodbye Nets.

If I remember correctly, in Norway (or Finland) any citizen can go to the website of the tax office and study the tax return of any other citizen (but not anonymously - you will find out who looked at your declaration). Such information is evaluated differently everywhere - somewhere as private, and somewhere as socially significant, that is, it is made public.
The very details of the cooperation between the casino and Drake do not really matter, but human curiosity is pushing to find out.

Seriously? That is something already private and I think it's already violating our privacy. Even an employee of tax agencies can't easily access any information without permission. I'm not aware that it's possible in Norway or Finland etc.

Regardless, I don't understand what's the big deal on that part related to Drake's partnership with Stake.

I know it doesn't really matter to know what's behind the cooperation between Drake and Stake but I don't see why should be curious about that.

Sadly there can be those times like that especially when people got so curious about your personal information or even your tax declaration, actually I'm seeing that they are just envy that's why they would take such steps to answer their curiosity when infact they already knew that it is illegal to invade someone's privacy especially for sensitive information like that.
Your personal information/data are mostly visited when you become a public figure or you contesting an election your opponents may try to look for data to use against you as a political attack and if you are found wanting in your tax returns that information can be used to disqualify you from an election that is what is happening in my region so the government makes it compulsory for public office holders and political leaders to declare their asset. and make their task information public and published on the revenue office website, but this does not apply to all the citizens but only to government officeholders.
Yes, but that is not what we are discussing here because it is already expected that those people who chose to run for public seat should declare every penny in their bank and their asset, others call it Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) .. What we are discussing is that it is normal for other country to find your private information even if you are just a regular citizen and that it's just a one phone call away, by the way that's legal for them as well.
