You surely got a keen eye for these, that is why I salute you for saying this to me, will be looking at them I mean will be looking their stats, and fighting style and will be giving my verdict on who's going to win between this two for sure, but pretty much I really like the Latina look of Cortez but Amanda Ribas can be more hot than her, but surely will be looking for what they can do inside the octagon more,


Agreed, it is also making me salute at them I mean salute their performance hehehe. Their fighting style will be much grappling on the ground. Tracy Cortez is a wrestler and Amanda Ribas is an expert in BJJ. You will like the fight and I wish it will be long and end in a decision hehehe.

Jake Paul challenged Paddy Pimblett to $1 million bout after the UFC star claimed the creator fixes his fights

Paul's challenge was one Pimblett was swift to accept, albeit with a slight caveat — the sparring session would have to take place at the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas, shortly after his December 10 fight against Jared Gordon in the same city.

"Come to the PI next week and bring $1 million in a bag and I will spar with you," Pimblett told TMZ on Tuesday — the same day Paul issued his challenge.

"I'm in the PI in Vegas on Thursday. But if he wants to wait until after my fight — until the Monday … I'm game."

Yes, Pimblett's answer was interesting, I will fight on Saturday, rest on Sunday, and beat you on Monday, it seems that Pimblett is very confident, since he thinks that just one day will be enough for him to recover from the fight. But in any case, this is one more performance, without which Paul cannot, he has everything built on this. It will be interesting for me to see it, he knows how to promote his fights.

I am skeptical. Paddy the baddy is very confident because he certainly knows that Jake Paul will never go to the UFC performance institute to fight him. However, it was very good for Paddy Pimblet to create hype for himself. This will only cause curiousity for boxing fans and it might make them watch Paddy in the UFC hehe.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fury v Chisora 3 3rd of December on: December 02, 2022, 01:18:30 AM
Under 6.5 rounds might be the best bet for this. I speculate that Fury's opponent, because he felt he only won a raffle, might not have trained seriously.
I only think that Fury will make the fight longer because of home crowd.
He is absolute favorite and this fight is just a warm up and preparation training for Fury fight with Joshua, if this fight ever happens.


Yeah, If Fury was going to go full force I'd go for a Fury KO early on but I think he's going to be fairly reserved for the first few rounds. Basically think of this as an open public sparring session. Fury and Chisora are somewhat friendly so think of this just as Fury giving him one last big pay day and for him to keep off the ring rust until the Usyk fight.  I suspect it will be quite a boring fight unless Chisora decides to go for glory and Fury has to turn up the heat to match him. I'm more interested in how many people actually turn up to the venue. It's an open air stadium in December and nobody seems to be excited about this fight here in the UK so I'd expect it to be half full which wont be a good look (unless they end up giving a load of tickets away to save face). It's also the highest ever UK PPV so I don't think it's going to do good numbers on that front either.

However, if Tyson Fury would make this into a boring sparring seasion, there might not be enough demand to watch him for his next fight after Chisora. I speculate Fury will show his full power to excite everyone and remind all of the boxing fans that the unification against Usyk should not be missed hehehe. This will certainly also excite the promoters and many sponsors hehehe.

Also, similar to what you said, it is an open air stadium in December. Fury will not like to be in the ring in the cold very long hehehehe.

From BTCGOSU review, they put a point for KYC (No KYC). That is good for gamblers who don't want to submit documents and leak their identity on too many sites. If they want to have a hassle free KYC and want to bet, Neodice is a good casino to start.
Based on the terms of Neodice, they reserve the right to ask for identity documents. Neodice has a dedicated page for KYC policy. Probably they have KYC terms for having Curacao license. But you can't say that Neodice is a KYC free casino.

I reckon Neodice or any site that has a bitcoin faucet available should always reserve the right to ask for KYC. It would be very easy for any group of people to create 100 or more accounts and farm their faucets every hour and every day.

There might many of you who might so this is very head shaking hehehe. However, we have witnessed the use of multiple accounts for those twitter campaigns that pay in tokens with no value. The faucets of Neodice pay in the most valuable cryptocoin in the cryptospace.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 01, 2022, 03:43:01 AM
It appears we might have another comedy show between Jake Paul and another UFC fighter hehehe. Paddy the baddy is smaller than Jake Paul, however. It might not be very fair for the UFC fighter. Jake Paul in boxing is a cruiserweight which has a limit of 200 pounds. Paddy Pimblet in MMA is a lightweight which has a limit of only 155 pounds.

Jake Paul should challenge an active UFC fighter who is much closer in his own weight division like Alex Pereira hehehehe.

Whats nexts week big Match?

You and I of course Smiley - could be for the lead if Eli can manage an upset against Jerkers.

Also Cows vs Corpse, especially if the latter lose today - that'd be a fierce fight for that last playoff spot.

I would not be shocked if I lost another week. McCaffrey is beginning to show some minor knee injuries that I speculate would become a major injury. Tyreek Hill also has problems, however, I am starting to be very worried about Lamar Jackson. His hip injury appears to be placing him on questionable for more than 3 weeks every week. I should have dropped Daniel Jones and got Massage Watson from the waiver wire. I speculate that he will give more points than projected for those who rostered him.

It also appears we have a good game for Thursday night football. A divisional game with the Patriots vs. the Bills. Patriots is on the bottom of the division, lower than the Jets. Bill Belichick might have more motivation to win this and also force everyone to remember who he is hehehehe. Patriots +3 is not very good, however. I reckon it should be +6.5.
2067  Economy / Speculation / Re: Terra cofounder Do Kwon is the one who is pumping Bitcoin on: December 01, 2022, 01:15:55 AM
Another statement from law enforcement agencies, which now concerns the arrest warrant for the co-founder of Terraform Labs Daniel Shin, previously the same warrant was issued for the arrest of Do Kwon. In this case, the warrant concerns Daniel Shin and three other Terraform Labs investors and four developers who are suspected of receiving illegal profits in the amount of ~$105 million from the sale of the LUNA premine.

Source: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20221130001600315

Are these arrest warrants real or will they be enforced? This is very head shaking because Do Kwon appeared in a cryptopodcast called Uponly with Cobie and Ledgerstatus. Martin Shkreli was also there and told Do Kwon that prison is not that bad hehehe. Do Kwon responded with good to know.

In any case, something that should also make everyone very skeptical is the government arrested Tornado Cash developer Alex Pertsev without any charges for developing opensource software for an onchain mixer to help the community have more privacy while scammers and criminals like Sam Bankrupt-Fried and Do Kwon are free.
2068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will Sam Bankman-Fried go to jail? on: December 01, 2022, 12:26:37 AM
though he has exposure of US gov.. where some think "uncle" grensler at the SEC will pardon him and just slap him with a fine

he is also being investigated also by the Bahamas authorities.. so THEY could find him guilty.

the Bahamas police announced that the government are doing investigations into possible criminal action

Quote
Bahamas Securities Commission, Financial Intelligence Unit and the police's Financial Crimes Unit would continue to investigate the facts and circumstances regarding FTX's insolvency crisis, and any potential violations of Bahamian law

so while some think he can escape american prison. there is a chance of being locked up in a bahamas prison

There is a chance, however, it will be a very small chance of almost 0 hehe. The government officials in much of the 3rd world countries are corrupt and they are also experts in creating a show that they are doing something for their country but they are really doing nothing.

If there are people who might be offended by this, I reckon you should look around you. We cannot deny this reality that part of the problem are corrupt and the unqualified people in the government. They do not have the public's interest in their hearts, only their own agenda.
2069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: November 30, 2022, 06:09:01 AM
I mean, I don't know, but it seems like it's impossible for Tank Davis to be portrayed as an underdog, I wish he was, because that would have given me more incentive to bet on him. Regardless, this fight will end in finite and TKO form.

Performance wise, it is clear that Tank Davis has more antiques, he is more skillful than Ryan Garcia. Have you seen how he moves around his opponent making his opponent defenseless?  Ryan Garcia on the other side is all forward, not much of lateral movement and footwork.  Aside from that, popularity and record also shows that Tank Davis is way better than Ryan Garcia, so there is no way Tank Davis will be an underdog here.  Rip your more incentives Grin.

Both fighter are heavy hitter, it is a matter of who will be the lucky one to get the opportunity to land a perfect shot first, that will render his opponent unable to continue.


Davis will keep on moving and attack when Garcia shows unprepared. I like your descriptions and for sure, Davis will
give that entertainment for his fans, knowing him with lots of laterals and footwork in finding the opening.

On the other side, Garcia is more on pushing forward and trying to box his opponent to engage a toe-to-toe exchange of punches. He might
succeed in that style getting Davis in the kind scenario

but if he's not that quick, Davis will take advantage to throw solid combinations, then move away from him.

Before and after I created this thread, my prediction was always Tank Davis will win because he is the better boxer and the tougher man. However, when I was looking at King Ryan's record more closely, I think he has made the much needed preparations to give him a better than expected chance to win. King Ry has very much prepared himself to fight a 5'6" left handed boxer by fighting 2 left handed boxers in his last 3 fights. The last opponent is Javier Fortuna, he is short and can knockout anyone, having much similarities to Tank. I would laugh at King Ry's bettors last week, however, we cannot laugh if we have studied his preparation more.

I didn't expect the discussion of sound effects and default music to generate such excitement. In any case, thank you all for the diversity of opinions and for taking part in the discussion about the issues that make your gaming experience better. Keep sharing your comments here.Smiley

It might be for the best for everyone if each account can choose to turn it on by default or not hehe. I reckon the music should not only be for the dice game, it should also be available for all of the faucets.

Also, it might be good to make the last faucet have bigger prices, but lesser chances of winning and to turn it into a weekly faucet.

@Ale88. Agreed and after everything that has transpired, also assuming from all known information that Binance is only a shitcoin exchange very much different from what FTX was which might have been created as a criminal enterprise from the beginning. It is not comparable. Binance is a liquidity providing service for holders and traders to exchange their coins to other coins or fiat currencies very much similar to traditional currency exchanges.
2072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will Sam Bankman-Fried go to jail? on: November 30, 2022, 03:38:59 AM
with the FTX vs Binance competition.
Like FTX, Binance is another shitcoin casino.  Only clueless people do business with shitcoin casinos.  All Bitcoiners should avoid doing business with places that primarily generate revenue from selling shitcoins to idiots, and especially from places that offer margin for shitcoin trading.  The only kind of leverage that is potentially safe is physically settled options, anything else can easily leave the exchange insolvent.

It is also very much similar to those centralized services like Blockfi which are really just custodied cryptobanks.

However, because these centralized, custodied cryptobanks and exchanges will always continue to exist, would it not be time for the bitcoin community to accept and encourage the research on Defi and other noncustodial methods for swapping and yield generating services? This would at the very least make of use the advantage of self custody.

I am presently very curious now on this. There were articles saying that he went binge eating for this role to reach more than 300 pounds.



There were some changes in the top 5 for best picture, very big changes for top 5 of best actress and no changes for best director.

Also, this article about Steven Spielberg was published by Gold Derby. They might be brainwashing us that Spielberg is certain to win best director hehehehe.

Read all of the Wall Street Journal articles written about him after the collapse. Much of those articles are making it appear
Careful with what you read there-- SBF gave liberally to media outlets and many of the people writing about him took money from him or are connected to parties that did.  At a minimum their ego is on the line: They could have easily called out the red flags early on but instead they breathlessly promoted him, so now they really want to spin that it wasn't obvious and that it wasn't necessarily intentional.  Plus no one in the media gets sued for sucking up to a scammer, but people do get sued for calling them out.  Really when you look at the facts without the spin why you find is that FTX was running a shitcoin casino, promoted on the back of fraudulent claims of wealth, that went massively short bitcoin long shitcoin (including through selling retail customers paper bitcoins that FTX never owned) and then suffered the predictable results.

Spinning it as just poor accounting makes zero sense because it provides no explanation for where the 8 billion in customer deposits, plus SBFs >10bn in claimed trading gains, plus several billion in outside investments actually went if it was just due to accounting errors.


I very much agree.

This is being shared on social media. I am not quite certain why there are some people who remain to assume that we are being antagonistic. We only want to spread truth and show everyone what is happening in reality.

Just a run on the bank hehehe. The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Deal Book, they are spinning the storyline and covering the real story behind Sam.



2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fury v Chisora 3 3rd of December on: November 29, 2022, 03:50:28 AM
Obviously just a tune up fight for Fury

It might also be Tyson Fury needs more extra christmas money to buy his loved ones gifts hehehe. I am not telling everyone that this is a money grab, however, it appears to be another money grab.

Also, when was the organization of this fight announced? Only 1 month before the day of the fight? His opponent might be feeling that he won a raffle hehe. This is free money for him also.


Have you seen the odds on Fury to win?  Cheesy
I don't think there is any doubt about winner in this fight, except if some accident happens and Fury get's injured, and I hope this won't happen.
There is no value in betting on Fury straight win, so I am looking for something better, maybe fight going longer than expected and long distance because he is fighting in front of home crowd.

Bankman-Fraud will get the Epstein treatment. Meaning, they will make him disappear and he is not going to spend a single day in a jail cell. When he has corrupted political friends like the Clintons, he can avoid any punishment. If the media tells you that he is in jail, that means he is in his home playing PS5. If they tell you he is dead, that means he has a new name, a new face (hopefully both his new name and face will be less stupid than his current ones) and he is in somewhere which you won’t ever know about.

This might become a reality only if Sam will tell the truth and expose the whole scheme behind FTX and Alameda. However, it appears that he will never expose the people behind him and those people are helping spin the storylines and covering up for Sam. Read all of the Wall Street Journal articles written about him after the collapse. Much of those articles are making it appear that he was not running a criminal, money laundering enterprise.

In any case, it would be in the concern of the cryptospace community to see Sam go to prison. The victims of this will be everyone of us because the government will begin creating stricter laws, require all users to KYC and might also demand exchanges to require that their users must be earning a certain yearly salary to be allowed to invest in the cryptospace.

Welcome to the forum DraftApes! It is my first time to encounter this kind of sports betting. I am really interested in testing the site and I see that there are contest too, I was curious if you are planning to add other leagues in the future possibly Esports? Though would be trying your site with the NBA under and over.

Draftsapes is not a sportsbook, it is a daily fantasy sports platform. I reckon that even if you are paying for the entry fee, it is not gambling. There is more skill and knowledge needed for the player to win in this game than in gambling in sports. They however also have player props which is more closer to sports betting.

In any case, everyone should join their free weekly contests on American football to try the site. NFL might be the easiest sport to follow because games are weekly and the seasons are short.

https://www.draftapes.com/contest/14-11-22-nfl-sunday-week--6390cD1zI1/

when a business has done something criminal. CEO dont always go to jail

did HSBC ceo go to jail for money laundering
did JPMorgan ceo go to jail for money laundering

it could be a buffet/enron thing.. = criminal charges against CEO
it could be a HSBC/JPM thing..= business fine at probably an amount equal to X days business profit

I agree and it is possible that they are still free because they have powerful connections that can maim justice.  But those who don't amass enough powerful backers, end up in jail.  And probably Sam Bankman-Fried will never go to jail because people around him is possibly powerful enough to blindfold the blindfolded justice system.




Anyway, those who are interested to know some CEO who got jailed due to their fraud and mismanagement can refer to this article[1][2][3]



[1] https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/who-is-elizabeth-holmes-disgraced-ceo-who-was-sentenced-to-more-than-11-years-in-prison-for-theranos-fraud/articleshow/95615174.cms

I very much agree. It is also not only about their connections to the government. They also appear to have connections with mainstream news media like the Wall Street Journal. I have never seen an article written about Sam that says he was running a criminal enterprise which appears he was. It is always articles with spinning storylines similar to this.

Are you telling everyone that all of Ark Invest's exchange traded funds and declared profits from these funds are ponzi schemes and fake profits? Also, Cathie Wood is a scammer very much similar to Bernie Maddoff? I admire skepticsm from this people of the forum, however, the comparison is very wrong and head shaking.

If I would have told you that SBF is not the JP Morgan he thinks he is, that behind the billions in FTX there are just a couple of millions, that their internal documents were stored on emails, that there is no accounting being done, that nobody knew who really worked there or not,  how would you have reacted when you saw FTX as the everything killer that might take over the world?

If the Madoff scheme was allowed to happen for years, if FTX managed to fool everyone, then what's so special about ARK that it can't be a failure too? Remember that ARK did all the past profits on booming markets, when the shit has finally hit the fan they are losing billions, just like cryptos, and if those can go bankrupt, what's stopping the same from happening here too?

Basically, the whole defense you put for AK is, no this can't be real, cause...I don't want to.  Wink

In any case, has anyone found new updates if Barry Silbert and Genesis Global found a debtor to give them a loan of $1 billion?

Guess not:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/22/business/dealbook/genesis-crypto-restructuring-adviser.html
Oh, and they need 2.8 billion just to cover debt at this point.

Agreed. There is nothing special about Ark Invest, however, we cannot compare Ark and FTX as something similar unless you are also implying that Ark is also a criminal enterprise very much like FTX. If that is the argument, I reckon you are implying that anything can be a ponzi scheme? Would it be correct for us to tell everyone that Black Rock Future Tech, Goldman Sachs Future Tech, VanEck Bitcoin Strategy or Grayscale Bitcoin Trust are ponzi schemes only because FTX was a money laundering operation and also a ponzi scheme? That would be quite head shaking hehehehe.
