Batch 22

My picks:

1. Miami Heat
2. Dallas Mavericks +6.5

1. Parang mahirap isipin na ma-3 straight loss ng Sixers ang Heat. Playing in-front of Miami Heat's crowd, siguro naman iyong mga role players nila na nanahimik nung last 2 games e magising na mamaya.

2. Gaya ng lagi ko sinasabi, regardless of the odds and team status, Dallas Mavericks all the way na ako hanggang mag-champion na to.

I can't comment on that since, in those 2 lost games by the Suns, they didn't show their 100% performance. If only they gave their 100% and still lose, I can conclude that Dallas Mavericks are really ahead of them.

Returning from home, Phoenix Suns will do everything to take the lead in this series. However, I'm with the Mavericks to win.

If let's say the Suns will lose here, there will be more critics of Chris Paul about being a choker in playoffs, as always.

The problem is, even well-defended or not, Warriors sharpshooters are still draining those shots. Now that Morant possibly won't play for the Grizzlies, that's a big problem to deal with as Morant contributes to both offense and defense.

I'm seeing a 3-1 here by the Warriors and they might also be able to cover the -10 handicap.

But regardless if Morant was injured or not, it's really hard to deal with the Warriors in front of their home crowd which is one of the loudest in the league.

Giannis most FGs came from the paint. Really hard to stop him even with a help defense.

Because that was the case, the Celtics just need to improve their offensive phase to counter Giannis' dominance in the paint.

It's like the Celtics will do much of an offense > defense but it doesn't mean they won't try to stop Giannis obviously.

Ja Morant's possible missing tonight's game is a big disadvantage for the Memphis Grizzlies. Remember that in Game 3, they were put by the Warriors in a big margin lead prior to Morant's exiting the game because of that knee-grabbing incident. Therefore, with or without Morant, they were really struggling against the Warriors in front of the Chase Center's crowd.

With that incident, I'm not sure how the Grizzlies will cover what Morant will leave.

For some bettors, the -10 handicap seems can be easily covered by the Warriors.

Wait what bro, kids can access GCASH? What age period are you referring to here?

GCASH is only allowed to use by 18-years old above (PH). And besides, they can't do the KYC as these kids don't surely have those necessary valid IDs.

I doubt they can also use or borrow GCASH from their parents or close one as for every deposit, that will notify the account owner. Are those non-KYC accounts able to still receive money from verified users?

Batch 21

My picks:

1. Boston Celtics
2. Golden State Warriors

1. Di talaga ako sigurado dito pero dikit kasi iyong last game nila. Di hahayaan ng Celtics na ma 3-1 sila kahit mag halimaw pa si Giannis.

2. Wala yata si Ja Morant pero kung maglaro man di yan 100% healthy. Tambakan na naman to.

Decide on your own since it's your time and effort that will be used here and not anyone else.

There might be users who will respond if "yes" or "no" or is it really making sense or not. Now the question is, what will you follow? If the majority said yes, will you really follow it even if you arent' interested? The same question goes to those who will say the other way.

Do some self-brainstorming and decide based on your end result.

Honestly, the majority:

- know the right thing to do,  
- they understand the risks,
- they know the consequences,
- they know what will be the result of what they're doing

... but since they want to test their luck, they will disregard these as what if they won? That's another story.

However, the most common and usual result is losing and there is no other thing to do but to accept the loss and move on.

Since OP talked about being decentralized, let's accept the fact and possibilities that somewhere in the future, we might be dealing in FULL KYC terms at any crypto-gambling sites whether we like it or not. Legit crypto-gambling sites have to deal with the legality of their business and one requirement of it is to conduct a KYC for their users.

Fortunately, we are not in that status yet. We can freely use crypto-gambling sites as much as we can as long as we follow their respective Terms and Regulations. However, even though there's not a mandatory KYC yet at most sites, we can see on their terms that they might ask for KYC for some reasons.

I believed that was already taking place since horse racing in some countries, like here, is fully regulated. It's just that maybe some cases aren't reported to the authorities that's why no actions were done.

And about that abuse, I can't think of a way why these people will abuse their horses where in fact they spending big money to make these horses conditioned in the match. There are inspectors before they will allow a horse to race and if those horses didn't reach the criteria, they won't allow being raced.

May I know the specific "abuse" you are referring to here? I just realized that it doesn't make sense to abuse these horses providing they need to take care of properly in order to be fit for racing. How will the owner make money for their horses if they are abused? I also don't see horses being forced to race since it's a risky move for the owners. It's a gamble.

This is correct. Since the Warriors think that they can't be a 100% defensive team, why focus on it? Instead, they enhanced their offense which is their specialty. I think I already pointed this out in response to a user before during the Season that the Warriors need to play defense were in fact for me, they are really playing defense but why to focus on those if most of their rosters are deadly in the perimeter and 3-point area. That talent is hard to find in any team where the likes of Curry, and Thompson can nail 3s even contested and well-defended.

Morant seems not in 100% next game. That was a big disadvantage for Memphis even though they are a good team without Morant during the season (20-2 if I'm not mistaken). The situation is different in playoffs.

I disagree. It's just that some of his teammates, maybe struggling to find their momentum in Games 1 and 2.

Look at Game 3 and Game 4 when some of them stepped up and adjust, they are able to deal with the Phoenix Suns. I just hope that Luka's role-player teammates will maintain that gameplay in the entire series as Phoenix Suns are really deadly.

Now that the series is even, I'm sure Mavericks will bring that confidence next game playing in front of the Phoenix Suns home crowd. If they are able to beat the Suns even with Booker's good contribution then it means, the Mavericks can able to slow down their teammates again next game, especially the veteran Chris Paul who is off night for 2 games in a row now.

That was lacking in Game 1 and 2 for the Dallas Mavericks - adjustment of their role players to backup Luka.

And that was changed in Game 3 and 4 - Brunson, Bullock, Finney-Smith, Kleber, etc. Maintaining that game performance, they can beat the speculation of the majority that the Mavericks are nothing against the Phoenix Suns.

Mavericks all the way here! I hope they will upset the number 1 seed in the West. Game 5 will be deadly for them. I'm sure Phoenix Suns' Chris Paul will now wake up after 2 games of being off-night.

I like what the commentator said during the few seconds before the bell rang and already knows what will be the result of the match was:

"DID WE UNDERESTIMATE DMITRY BIVOL?"

Those commentators already have a sneak peek of what will be the result as Canelo is struggling throughout the match. They even pointed out that it was the first time they saw Canelo in fatigue which is not in his vocabulary.

Bivol is patient, doing jabs carefully while having a good defense. He is not aggressive but just patiently waiting for the right timing to land a punch. That made Canelo disappointed and become upset and as a result, he began to lose focus and Bivol takes advantage of it.

This match proves that never depends on how big the name is to determine the winner like what others do here.

I think regardless of the figures, it all ends up to the report that many lives are destroyed because of this online cockfighting. That was the very important thing that the government considered as to why they halted the operation of the online cockfight. It's no secret that in news, those missing people that got "hostage" related to that gambling are still nowhere to be found now. It's even unknown if those people are still alive today.

Yeah, I also played that game and loses a big amount already but I'm still me with no changes in behavior or fall into the trap of doing gambling. Unfortunately, not all people can handle their losses that's why they ended up in the worst situation.

I'm also with the speculation that the Philadelphia 76ers might even the series in tonight's game. Joel Embiid's presence really plays a big impact that's why some of his teammates awaken in their previous game. If his teammates will be like that tonight, they will manage again to freeze other Heat scorers like what they did last game. Only Jimmy Butler performed in the Heat's last game, maybe he already knows well how to deal with the Sixers as that was his former team.

About the comparison you have made between Bam Adebayo and Joel Embiid, well we should not say who's the best among them as what matter is, how they are contributing to their respective team. It's no doubt that Joel Embiid is far the most dominant compared to Bam as the former is the main key scorer for the Sixers while the latter is a role player of the Miami Heat.

I like how Giannis Antetokounmpo adjusted in their Game 3 series. Just for a recap, even though he is contributing a good production in Game 1 loss and Game 2 win, he is struggling at his offensive phase. But this Game 3, even though his field goal percentage is not his usual, he still managed to produce 42 big points.

However, he attempted 6 3-point field goals in that game and he only made a single one in the rainbow area. He should avoid it if he doesn't feel it or maybe he is finding his stroke that's why he continues attempting to make a 3s even struggling.

The bottom line, although Bucks won and lead to a 2-1 advantage, Game 3 is a close game. The Celtics will surely try to bounce back obviously now that they know that even though Giannis is making 40+ points, they are not that behind in the total score.

Honestly, there's no other fight that should be arranged but a trilogy if ever Nonito Donaire wins this rematch against Naoya Inoue. It's like the chapter of them should now be close for good. For sure, once the winner of this rematch is announced, and let's say it's Donaire the winner, Inoue will immediately ask for a rematch on the post-interview and Donaire will gladly accept it right away.

I stumbled upon an article recently that Paul Butler might take a shot at challenging the winner of Inoue and Donaire. However, WBO might assign him to defend his title first but it's still unknown who will be his next opponent.

Back to Inoue and Donaire, both have an experience dealing with Casimero thru heated exchanges but they didn't release a statement or opinion yet regarding Casimero's strip title. Maybe for them, it's better to be silent for good.

Sayang iyong sa Dallas Mavericks di ko naabutan. Ang aga pala ng game at busy nitong Sunday.

Dallas Mavericks pa naman ako all the way regardless of the odds. 4Q na ngayon habang tinatype ko ito at lamang ang Mavericks ng86 points. Si Chris Paul off-night ulit at 5 points lang. Di ko alam ang nangyari at tumingin lang ako sa live score.

Batch 20

My pick: Philadelphia 76ers

Tingin ko andyan pa rin ang momentum nila at magpapatuloy dahil na rin sa homecourt advantage. Wag lang sana magising iyong mga di nag-perform ng maayos sa Miami Heat last game atr tiyak, makukuha nila ang game na ito.
