Another knockdown again for Ryan Garcia! This is round 10! I reckon if Ryan loses this, we will still win. The loser here is Devin Haney because this fight is opening questions on his capability. Tank Davis or Shakur Stevenson might be calling their managers heehehehee
Ryan Garcia can't be denied this time around. What an upset mate. Majority decision for Ryan Garcia. Though no belt, i think Garcia should get the respect of the boxing community as he beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. hehe. IMO, Haney should get the rematch and this time if either fighter can't make the scale, the fight should be canceled. But then again, he was over the weight limit and 3 lbs is huge. Anyhow, we will see, I cant' remember if there is a rematch clause, but they should fight at 140 lbs, simply as that. And I think Derick James needed this win as well and for Golden Boy, 1-0 now. Let's see if Oscar can make it 2-0 with another huge upset win with Jaime Mungia. Props to Ryan Garcia, dude has power, knows how to sell the fight, it's just that he didn't make the weight, he could be the belt holder now. |

Over the past year or so, we've been discussing and anticipating the Bitcoin Halving. We heard that after the Bitcoin halving comes the bull run. We've learned different strategies to accumulate Bitcoin in preparation for this event. As humans, we easily get bored if there is no goal in sight or task ahead of us. The Bitcoin halving was the goal in sight that motivated many Bitcoiners to accumulate Bitcoin. Now that the event has technically come and gone, what is the next big thing that we should look forward to? What are the next collective goals or tasks ahead of us to stay motivated?
I guess one of the motivation is to make money in the market, admit it or not. So how can we do it? We buy as much as we can, even after the halving and accumulate and then wait what will be the new all time high, the peak price in this bull run cycle, time it, and sell for a ROI. And with that halving done already then still continue what we are doing, DCA. If it ain't broken, then don't fix it mantra. You can't just sit and watch your wallet grows, we are still have the opportunity so stack sats. |

reading through the article it seems that the casino is tied to a lot of notable history that has happened in Las Vegas. quite a shame that it is closing now.
It is, that's why you can see some emotions on the employees and those patrons as well. And in movies, for sure majority of us have seen Godfather I and in one scene when Pacino travelled to Las Vegas to take to Mo Greene, it was reported that this scene was in Tropicana. Also another movie, James Bond's "Diamonds are Forever", old movie too, and 007 stays at Tropicana. They should have kept it for historic reasons, tourism and when its got that much history its like a movie set surely. Alot of the history they cant state clearly because it would be mafia or some crime related surely and they dont want that ongoing implication so its all lost now.
As much as we love too see this happened and preserved the casinos as historic place, the owners will have to make money out of their business. So no wonder they have to sell and maybe it was really established by the mob and since their influence has waned down in the last 20 years, they can't exert any pressures to the owner not to sell. In short, 'they don't have the muscle anymore'. |

Not gonna lie but even if Frank is a tough opponent, I guess I would go with Tank on this match up; experience, better knockout artist, absolute power puncher, and agility of course. Anything could still happen indeed but we're talking about subjective opinion and mine this time would be Tank, as I said. Tank grew so fast on his career and what made me think of such way was his fight with Ryan. He's an intelligent boxer and all of his opponents will be having a hard time against him especially at this point that he continues his heavy training on his team. Would be for sure exciting to watch. For me, Martin is still too young to go toe to toe with Tank. He needs to grow more and to polish his skills before he get to Tank's level. We don't know what's the outcome of this fight but we can predict what will happen in the fight once we gonna make a good research on both sides. Actually they have the same things they are both undefeated and good fighter inside the ring. And also we are all know that they got a title which is they are recognize in some countries. But for me in this fight maybe tank David can do a good shot that can win against his opponent not in knockout but maybe by unanimous decision. But I think frank martin won't let that happen so this is a good fight to watch.
I believe this would be ending with a K.O. Both are aggressive in the first place once they get their phasing.Both of their undefeated records are on the line which adds thrill watching and choosing the right fighter to bet in. If two aggressive boxers face off in the ring, sooner or later someone will going to kiss the canvass. And as you have said, Frank is tough, no doubt about it, looks technically sound and very confident against Tank Davis. But Tank has all the tools and advantage, the power is crazy and scary and it seems that this is the best weight class for him as his body can still squeeze that 135 lbs of pure muscle. Unlike what we have seen in Ryan not making the wight at 140 lbs. Anyhow, Benavidez vs Gvozdyk will be the main card in this fight and probably this tickets are going to sell and I wouldn't be surprised if it's sold out and PPV numbers is very high. |

And the date of this fight will be June 22, co-headline for Tank Davis vs Frank Martin fight.
At least it's a good undercard as we will have both superstars headlining this fight. Nothing has chance though, Benavidez is still a huge favorite in this fight. And the date is still good, ample time for him to train instead of just going on Twitter and focusing on Canelo.
He will be there as Mexican for Cinco-de-Mayo event and most likely going to watch Canelo vs Munguia.

Bitcoin mining fees has increased considerably today after halving but there are no effect on bitcoin prices. I suggested some friends to invest before and they are blaming me for the suggestion. I told them to wait for final effect as it can take some days for effect on prices but they are impatient.
We can't control what the transaction price will be, as other commented, their is this rune protocol, ( https://cointelegraph.com/news/runes-protocol-ignite-new-season-bitcoin-after-halving). In any case, in any investment, everyone should have patience, and you should explain this to your friends, as it's not your fault. It will take months before they can see our investments grow. There is no "instant" in Bitcoin, everything will come into fruition and the best gauge is at least at the end of the year and not days or weeks after the halving itself. And that is that sometimes it's better to just not let everyone knows about our investment and persuade them to do so because of this kind of blaming games. |

Personally I still hold it. Even though currently the price of bitcoin tends to fall, I am sure that in the next opportunity the price of bitcoin will reach a much higher ATH than before. My target is not just $75k but $100k, and I am determined to continue hold until the price of bitcoin reaches $100k.
Those who look at the market from a long-term perspective still hold their bitcoins to reach the 100k target. In the short term, market changes don't really affect them as much as they do you. Bitcoin will definitely go to 100k but it may take time, and patient investors will win in the end because they know the future potential of Bitcoin. So I think your decision is right about waiting until you achieve the 100k bitcoin target. Bitcoin has already broken the previous ATHs, Bitcoin is now in the price discovery stage so it will be most interesting to see where Bitcoin's next stop will be. Right, although we have seen new all time high, that is not the top price for this bull-run as we are expecting the market to go on parabolic rise and reach $100,000 or more next year. So we shouldn't go on a celebratory ride or something. There is more room for us to growth from today to next year. And that kind of investor is what we call diamond hand, or at least knows that the market has just started to warm up. And now that we are in the halving, the more this set of investors are calm and patience and look at the long-term perspective. |

Oh well, at least they will allow this fight to still push through even though Ryan Garcia has missed weight. And Bill Haney as I have read in several tweets, say that there is a stipulation that Ryan Garcia "wanting to embrace different movements.” Not sure what Bill means by that.
And it was also said that Ryan has paid the $1.5 as agreed upon and Ryan said that he will get back that money and Haney should also promise that he will fight in the middle of the year as he said in the press conference.
Bill Haney and Bernard Hopkins is also getting into the mix in the weigh-in, LOL. Not sure what Hopkins said, because prior to that, Oscar and Bill is cool although you can see the Bill is saying something and perhaps Bernard hear it and just reacted to it. But everything has been set, they have promoted the fight specially Ryan with his antics in public and his public tweets. Now, they will go out in less than 24 hours, and as Ryan said, hope that the fight is going to happen in the middle and Haney will engage. And speaking of Bernard, he is not done yet, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PX3J7dGC49w |

We live in crazy times. This will be my first BTC halving and I'm so fucking happy that I learned about BTC and how FIAT money is basically a fucking scam in the past year. Thanks to this forum and happy halving y'all!  Good for you, 9 blocks away, prices is $64,100 so everything is good, unlike the last time that we have the pandemic in the background, the lockdown and all that uncertainty. But as compare to this time, there is war but hopefully it wouldn't affect the market. So basically just sit back and relax and experience your first Bitcoin Halving. And see how everything will transpired in the next couple of months. It will not be instant effect as others might thought and the price will not suddenly jump to $100,000. It might take sometime. Good gauge is too see the price at the end of the year. |

Not sure if you guys have heard about this story, but since I'm more of a traditional land base players and so are others here, let me share you this story, LAS VEGAS (AP) — From its lavish opening in 1957 on a Las Vegas Boulevard surrounded by wide-open desert, to its sleepier years amid a boom in megaresorts, the Tropicana Las Vegas has been a familiar landmark home to colorful events in a city known for constant reinvention.
Now it’s a jewel of Sin City’s past. After 67 years, the Strip’s third-oldest casino shut its doors for good on Tuesday. Demolition is slated for October to make room for a $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium for the relocating Oakland Athletics — part of Las Vegas’ latest rebrand as a hub for sports entertainment. https://apnews.com/article/tropicana-casino-history-las-vegas-strip-3334ab06fdd11ada3b181813d2f04649And this is the final hour,  I'll probably played at least once here in 99-00, if my memories serves me right. (I'm not stateside btw). Anyone in the US has experience going into this casinos and maybe shared their thoughts? |

Whether you're a seasoned gambler or new to the casino floor, understanding which games offer the best chances of winning can significantly enhance your gaming experience. Share your experiences, ask questions, and get insights into which games statistically give players an edge. Whether it’s house edge percentages, player strategies, or personal anecdotes, let’s uncover the most player friendly games out there. All levels of experience are welcome I'm not sure what you mean, house still wins at the day, RTP are pretty much the same across as they are mandated by law. Sport betting odds would come to Las Vegas so there's not much difference in every casinos. And they don't want for someone to play arbitrage and take advantage of huge swing odds. And as others have stated, games are purely luck base so there's no way that you can quantify it, unless you are either lucky or not. So go try different casinos, and see how the experience for you, instead of just asking for advise as everyone could have different answers. |

Here is the final press conference of the fight,  Good to see that it is finally going to happen, Oscar says that the tickets is selling so be it. So this is game 7, 3-3 on amateur so obviously, this is going to settle everything and the winner going to be the face of boxing. And there is a side bet of $500,000 that Ryan will not make the weight according to the Haney's. So let's see tomorrow in the weigh-in and then in the actual fight. |

I thought Boots is one of those fighters that will remain loyal and worships Al Haymon even if there are bigger offers outside. Well, at least he proved his loyalty in the past when he rejected the offer of Crawford for the WBO belt and then bark like a stupid dog when Crawford unified all the belts and clearly has no intention of remaining in the division.
Boots has the skills and power but he is untested. Eddie and DAZN have the deepest pockets in the sport while also partnered with Saudi Arabia. Maybe Crawford should vacate all the remaining belts now and let the young guns fight each other.
Hopefully with this move, Ennis will be more active this year under Eddie Hearn. Who knows, maybe we can see him and Benn fighting this year? As long as Ennis opponent is not just second tier boxer and again being active, I think this is a good move for him. The thing with Hearn though is that his fighters are not exclusive for him, I mean he can try to negotiate an fight others in the other stable to exposed his boxers. So let's see who will be his initial opponent being a Matchroom boxer. You can listen in this interview and see what his plans his, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8bsQ-pGFbgAnd it's obvious that he want all the smoke at 147 lbs, Crawford, Spence. He can get this fight if the money is right. The good thing is that he will stay active now, and he can go global, meaning it will include exposure in Saudi as Eddie Hearn is one of the most powerful promoter in that side of Middle East now. If we look at the rankings, the Canadian Cody Crowley is his mandatory. Yes, even before that video surfaces, I was hinting that a Cody Crowley fight is good for Ennis, just to stay active and answer all those criticism of not fighting his mandatory since he has been reinstated as a full pledge champion now and not just a interim belt holder. So this could be a great fight, and he can show his tools and wares and what's the hype is all about for him and why Crawford says that he doesn't want to fight Ennis for now. And then after Crowley, he can call Spence and Bud Crawford again and for me he deserves a title shot or at least bodies should put pressure specially on Crawford to fight Ennis. Well, talk is cheap. Ennis talked about being the best in the division and yet he did not put strong pressure on Errol Spence to execute his IBF mandate. And it's a fact that he ducked Crawford when offered for the WBO belt. That lame excuse that Al Haymon treated him well so they want PBC to promote his fights and not of Crawford's choice who's actually the champion. And then he barked about wanting Crawford later when he unified all the belts. So he was willing to fight outside PBC then or he was just bluffing. Now that he is out of PBC, Matchroom is more than willing to offer him fights to other promoters too. We'll see if he calls the other top tier guys because I doubt Crawford or even Spence are interested at 147. In my opinion, he could have been chasing the two best boxers in 147 lbs, but it's that circumstances are not in his favor. He has been calling them, but it seems the PBC is lock already with Spence Jr facing Crawford for a unification fight and one of the biggest last year. So I doubt that PBC will have to postponed that or the governing body not forcing the mandatory because it's a huge fight. And after winning all the belts, Crawford is no longer interested on him. It's a career move, we can't blame him for that leaving PBC. And most likely Eddie Hearn could have sweetened the deal and has good offers money wise for Ennis. |

I remember the days when online crypto gambling sites offered us the option to invest directly into their bankroll (like the one in my sig). Nowadays, it's hard to find one that does. The only I've found is Bitvest. But activity on the site is quite low compared to its rivals. I was wondering if it's still worth investing in an online casino's bankroll? If it is, could you share where can I invest my BTC? Any suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. There are still some gambling platforms that offers investment directly, thru Bitcoin or their native token. Unfortunately it's no longer the hype and those investors could have lost money as well as there could be months that the casino is losing money unfortunately. There's one user who share his gambling investment and it looks like it didn't turn out to be good, GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT. So I would stir away from this kind of options for now, it's not viable as it was once was in maybe 2015-2018 era. |

Hey tennis fans (I'm still is, hasn't been active and posting here), but it's good to hear Nick interviewing Naomi Osaka,- Good Trouble With Nick Kyrgioshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjMhYSlLQZ0And it's good to hear Osaka being not a tennis player, talking about business and her life outside of tennis. Good interviewer as well for Nick, maybe he finally found his passion,  . She also talk about Kobe's influence and impact on her and the Williams sister too. |

I ask this question because I wonder what Bitcoin will become now that the financial institutions and meme coin advocates have taken over.
If Bitcoin is not peer-to-peer electronic cash then how do you see it?
Are we just talking here because of the transaction fees again? And Bitcoin and meme coin on the same sentence? Hmm. I don't have the numbers but as per my speculation, average joe like you and me and the regulars here are far greater than this financial institutions. They could have been here as early as 2017, but still though in the beginning, Bitcoin was for the masses and will remain that way. And it still peer-to-peer electronic cash as far as I know, we even have Lightning Network for small and faster micro-payments. |

As others have said, there should be no effect on Nigeria as their crypto enthusiast can still continue with crypto trading. And for example, in the Philippines, List of Things To Do Now That Binance is Banned in the Philippines. So it's a total block of the country, but still the Philippines is one of the most active in Asia as far as crypto goes. There could be effects in the beginning, but for sure, those traders or investors from Nigeria will have to find a way just like what the Filipinos do in this community. So yeah, there could be ways to circumvent it, but we are not going to advise for everyone to do that because of the risk involved. |

Tank should really take the risk and fight Shakur or Loma or any other name fighter at 135 lbs and should be hiding on the reasoning that he doesn't want to lose his 0. His been well protected already by PBC.
They just obviously giving him more comfort after winning a big fight against Garcia and to be honest, they really need to do that since he can't find some worthy opponent that won't have much risk nowadays because all of the top boxers in their weight division are threats in his clean record. They actually and carefully pick his next opponent so that he won't have a hard time increasing his wins and at the same time keeping his popularity at the peak of his career right now. As mentioned, Shakur Stevenson or Loma is a good fight for Tank Davis. If he is looking for a good dance partner then that 2 boxers is good for him. But PBC doesn't want to negotiate with them. We haven't heard Davis calling this two fighters for all we know. So there is no way that they will ignore or continue to cherry pick fighters for Tank. He has been protected for so long already. They need to set him up out of his comfort zone and see the best version of him. Otherwise he will be stuck in this loop and could be wasting the best time of his boxing career by not fighting the best in his division or even afraid to go to 140 lbs because competitions are hard. |

I was about to join but I saw on their X account that they already picked a winner. I need to frequent more on X to not miss these type of giveaways. Congratulations to the guy who won. They really generous when it comes to their competitions and giveaways huh. Yeah, sometimes I will be just in the nick of time to join their giveaways, but no dice for me. Or sometimes because of time difference, I will be late too. Just be on the watch for their official X account and who knows, maybe you are one of those lucky winners. Plus they also send emails too, so it you have a account on them, you will be updated by the platform. As for the increase of depositors, we will never know that exact numbers, but it seems that the platform is heavily invested on their promotions, including 3 ETH, Tokenized cyber truck and others, I wouldn't be surprised that this is the case for Metawin now. |

^^ Tit-for-tat. Ryan never even reacted to it and seems enjoying every moment of it. So another promotion, and yes to hype as it seems that Ryan has achieved it. Looking at social medias and boxing forum alike, it has been the talk of the town.
Nevertheless, will it translate to the actual fight? That it could either motivate Haney and Garcia to really hate each other and look for a knockout and give the fans a good fight? And there are videos of Haney saying that he is willing to go to war and the older Haney issuing "death threats" to Ryan, LOL. So that's how crazy both of them are promoting this fight and to captivate the boxing audience.
