And if this rematch happens, perhaps it will still be the same rule and so I doubt that Conor will win as Floyd will not allow his record to be blemish if this fight will become official.

Conor may not win but that $100+ million  is going to be in his pocket, it's just an exhibition fight, Floyd willing to risk his undefeated record as he knows himself that Conor has no chance of beating him in boxing, clever guy.  Grin

he'd be happy to get $100M. he is sure his let is not going to suffer breakage that's for sure.
Conor knew he isn't going to win against Floyd. Floyd is just too fast, although he had aged by now, he is capable of avoiding hits.
2023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Problem Gambler Feels After Losing on: August 12, 2022, 02:28:57 AM

Knowledge, discipline, and responsible gambling are what keep gamblers from being gambling addict.  Information about gambling addiction is everywhere on the internet.  And a person has the ability to learn just by reading and researching example cases. 

The problem is that addictive gamblers do not want to have any knowledge, they are not disciplined and they show no responsibility in gambling, that's why we called them addictive gamblers. If they had all these qualities they would not be addictive in the first place. These additive gamblers are like patients who need careful treatment by the doctor but it is ignored because no one thinks that addiction is a disease. Everything is of the view that gambling addiction is a bad habit that should be cured by the gambler himself without any help.

they appear to not looking for help but its because they hide the addiction from their family which in the end, it becomes too late when its finally blurt out. too late, they've been into gambling too deep and money dried up.

anything game using cards is always associated with gambling so its interesting Brazil they see it differently. but billiard is always a sport here. we play this games in a usual pub in town.

Jai alai is considered sports but is often associated as gambling.

Japan will not be willing to engage in war, they will just be minding their own business because war is expensive. the ones who got the appetite for it are the rich countries who can dictate where economy is going after a global recession.

if war breaks out while China has positioned in Solomon island and in the South China Sea, my beloved Philippines will be caught in a crossfire which is what we're really worried about this conflict. Pelosi should have avoided visiting Taiwan, majority of the people in Taiwan doesn't want US to interfere internal affairs. just let China have Taiwan, they can still trade with Taiwan as they could with China even today.

the date of the bout will be next weekend. one sided odds to begin with and having just $20 to bet is not satisfying enough to bet for Teo to win.

Lopez, Teofimo 1.04
Campa, Pedro  8.80

2028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: July 24, 2022, 02:58:57 AM
Hopefully Jerwin can stop the bleeding for us, if I'm my memory serves me right, his fight started the long stretches this year, losing all our Filipino champions hehehe.
I hope he will be the one that stops that we have a lot of great boxers but they are struck by bad lucks and bad decision

Quote
He was one of the best champion, he had that belt for 8 years, since 2014, and then suddenly he lost as a favorite against Fernando Martinez. I just imagine if Ancajas won in the first fight, he could have fought Kazuto Ioka.
This is the scorecard in their first match
Official Judging
Steve Weisfeld 110 - 118
David Sutherland 110 - 118
Max DeLuca 111 - 117

Too one-sided and Ancajas will have to do more he'll have to do something that he has not done in their first meeting, do more counter-punching, and engage Vargas in a slugfest, that's the only way to bully the bully.


Quote
So let's see, hopefully Ancajas can regain his form in this rematch.
He needs to be in his toughest form this Vargas has the making of a superstar and he can be the one to stop his train.


wide margin defeat doesn't look good. when i watch it today on youtube,  it was a slugfest and Ancajas turned into a brawler. they didn't find someone else to fight boost Jerwin's confidence but went straight ahead. hope he wins this time. he seem willing and if he loses, he can move up weight class after all he had been in this division for a long time there are more opportunity above.
2029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If There's No Casino Signature Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same on: July 23, 2022, 05:41:09 AM
it would be different but because there are many gamblers using BTC, this will still be a busy board. each of us may just have a casino to promote with affiliate links below us.
we'd still be here watching sports picks of users.

too risky for the scammer to giveaway his private key as well but yep they always take the risky things in life. if the victim wanna be is quicker to send out the USDT, he'd be laughing hard leaving a soop to the scammer.  Grin
2031  Economy / Speculation / Re: MtGox finally going to distribute 137,000 BTC sometime next month on: July 12, 2022, 11:06:45 AM

You missed the fact that every victim can choose whether he wants Bitcoin, Bitcoin fork coin, or fiat - and if the trustee is going to sell Bitcoin to pay off fiat, he won't be so stupid as to bypass the OTC, although nothing about those genius Japanese people would surprise me. Someone wants to portray the whole thing far more negatively than it actually is, it is not about 1 million BTC, but just a little more than 140 000 BTC.

I do not know how the victims will be compensated? But if they were to give them fiat for the bitcoin they owned, how would the price of bitcoin be calculated? Will it be calculated at the current price? Or at the market price in 2014 when the MtGox exchange closed? I don't know actually because if they were compensated at the 2014 price when the MtGox closed they wouldn't get much because the price at that time was around $400-800.

some of them may probably choose fiat to wait for price to dip. his is going to be funny because they might think the rest will eventually sell when they received the BTC.

it doesn't make sense to sell now while the price is very low already. but perhaps some users will sell while they are already in the brink and no job and its a huge profit because that was just $400/btc during that time. this is an unexpected money for some also because 8 years after they hold withdrawals, they've already lose hope but here we are.
2032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Adoption In El Salvador Seems To Be Failing on: July 11, 2022, 05:28:03 PM
The article says that 60% of Salvadorans got into the Bitcoin train when it was introduced; With an estimated population of six and a half million people, that's about 3.9 million and with 10% still using it after exhausting their airdrop bitcoins, that is approximately 400k users in the country. Those are not terrible numbers if you ask me, for the first year of introduction and in a bear market.

The bear market is naturally a slow time for Bitcoin adoption and this would become a trend if more countries adopt it as a currency; Periods of growth where everyone is happy, mixed with bear markets, where citizens complain their assets are lossing value.
I expect volatility to slowly reduce as adoption grows over the years, but while we still have wild fluctuations, there would always be analysis about what Bitcoin project failed when the market slows down.

the 60% really needs to learn trading this time to maintain the value. someone i think should act to provide signals for them so they'd know when to sell and buy.

60% is close to majority already. in the long run if they hold BTC, they all will still be in the successful side of their history.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 11, 2022, 02:32:53 AM

the cost of buying this entertainment is limitless, there are millionaires who lost a fortune in gambling. it took a lot of money before they learn because the brains likes the endorphins  and dopamines made their billionaire mind spends money.

just like the gamblers, investors also act the same even when the new projects they invest are somewhat unsure or scamy but because they are used to the feeling that the project could be a success, they still buy the new meme tokens even in the bear market.
2034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and crypto can only stay if it getting simple also secure people are afraid on: July 10, 2022, 02:29:20 AM

are you open to depositing your BTC to banks?

if not then don't use the bank apps for your BTC. people will use whichever banks apps they can use but you can not expect a bitcoiner deposit a satoshi to them.
however the retirees will likely try to trust them with such. old people will rely to 3rd parties because they also couldn't trust their sons and daughters could manage their funds.
2035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why can't bitcoin be based on something that has value? on: July 10, 2022, 01:45:37 AM
Even gold isn't backed up by anything, right?  Grin
So why do people trust it and want to pay with expensive value? Because people believe Gold is valuable. The main thing here is people's trust. It is the same as Bitcoin, it doesn't need to be backed up by something because people trust it. People believe Bitcoin is something valuable and useful for human life. In this matter, something like Gold and Bitcoin is acceptable although it is not guaranteed by anything.


Bitcoin is software. Gold is an element that cannot be created by man. It has to be mined. And obviously there is a limited supply of it available here on earth. Gold is a precious metal that has many applications and uses. Bitcoin is just software. You can copy software and rename it. You can't do that with gold.

gold is just too old and so many flaws we don't even know if the vaults storing our golds can be trusted or if the gold bars are hollow. this is why we are not in this fiat system shrouded by ponzis and governed by ponzis.

anything old is to be replaced because they are flawed. like the horses that use to roam in the towns but are not replaced by cars. BTC is base on computer networks working together spending huge amount of energy to create few of them.
2036  Economy / Economics / Re: Sri Lanka Economic Crisis is Getting Worse on: July 10, 2022, 12:57:24 AM

this started even before covid though so reasons got accumulated but this gas supply made it worse. saw the news where the tuktuk lined up stretches to miles waiting for their turn to refuel.

Protesters burst into the palace. Sri Lanka's president and prime minister inaugurated himself and fled by plane.

sounds like Trump's Capitol siege. yep we have seen it many times in this century where leaders fly by plane and its not surprising anymore, people will blame and kill him by hand if he stays. isn't India helping the country?  both country seem related who comes from same root.

so what does Wickremesinghe of IMF mean? do they want to replace Sri Lanka like colonize them or Sri Lanka can elect another leader?  this could lead to a more terrible, they better reelect a reliable leader  this time.
2037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: July 10, 2022, 12:38:40 AM
I will try and share it here. It's always my usual doing to look for a streaming link that came from other forums or those shared by groups that fall in the category of the "under the sun discussion" on social media. It's really not interesting to watch a live free stream on Facebook by sharers but if you will satisfy watching it then go for it.

They really need to put those annoying features since they will be detected by Facebook's strict algorithm and the stream will be taken down automatically.
Sharing direct PPV boxing streaming links on social media will be automatically detected using a strict algorithm, some streaming videos are not detected automatically by reducing the streaming video screen and lowering the quality, even though it passes detection from the algorithm system but no viewer is satisfied with the banner in the video it will interfere focus while watching. I usually watch it in cafes with the boxing community, but I have an alternative link to watch the live stream but again it's just an alternative so I don't use it very often.
That's true they used to be many streamers of fights, on Facebook specifically but I'm still lucky to find one and I hope my luck in finding a streamer continues in this fight, it's one of the fights I'd like to see since you mentioned your alternative link can you post it here.
Some streamers are good at evading detection usually they turn off the sound and restrict comments or change the title to evade detection.

few more fights and i have not found a link as well. lol any link to share the live streaming? there use to be many of them on youtube and its easy to find. now they are very careful not to get caught. but its sad to lose a bet while not seeing the fight. the odds is very close on sportsbet that bookies look at the possibility that Magsayo could lose the fight.

2038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 10, 2022, 12:21:27 AM
I've been backing Fiziev since his win vs Marc Diakiese.  But I have a feeling RDA could derail the hype train.  We'll see.
I think Fiziev wins here again, but I am more interested to see Caio Borralho in action on co-main event.
He might be good addition to Middleweight category and this is his second fight in UFC, with big reach advantage against Petrosyan.

There is one fight canceled just hours before start of this UFC event with Nina Nunes dropping off in fight against Cynthia Calvillo due to stomach virus problem.
I don't know if this was really a virus or something related with weight cutting that can create issues like this, but I wanted to bet against Nunes before this news.

For anyone who didn't make predictions for Sportsbet UFC Multi Master Challenge, there is still time:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405301.0

the odds is saying Fiziev. participants in this multimaster challenge also are rooting for Fiziev with 1.48. Watching Fiziev can take punches from his opponent, he may also take the punches of RDA easily. what he may not be prepared for is that takedowns which is the best course of action by RDA to submit a wild man like Fiziev. the old RDA will derail him.
2039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance will be ban in the Philippines? on: July 09, 2022, 05:58:50 AM
binance always abide laws of certain country's regulation. the binance.ph seem already in place which users are directed to binance.com.

binance knew Philippines has the biggest crypto users in Asia, it will be a big loss if they are not going to deal with it as soon as possible. it is not a big problem for users though because there are also huge list of exchanges that  users can go.
2040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I doing the right thing on: July 09, 2022, 01:25:58 AM

How can a newbie invest in good altcoins? I know about BTC and ETH but I think I can make more money from altcoins instead of BTC and ETH, I did my research and I have a few projects in mind but I don't know if they are worthy..

Avalanche, Mina protocol, Phala network and Aleph Zero to name a few

there is money to be made in altcoins, you just have to pick the right ones. try looking into the pages of the coins on top list of coinmarketcap.
among you list, its only avalanche that got a good chance. its one of the popular which you can't go wrong if you go with it. still the most recommended of all is just to stick with BTC. its been emphasized a lot.

among the top altcoins actually, i would rather be with doge. a first choice.
