Tomorrow we have 8 games in total, so a lot of matches that we can either pre game or live betting. Haven't check it though, but definitely I will try to slip 1 or 2 bets again.

Live betting is the best if you have time watching the game, but if not, you can bet now and just watch the highlights, it's still fun though.

Anyway, here are my early picks.

Warriors -10.
I think they will have their first road win and they will cover the spread against a weak Houston Rockets team.

Phoenix Suns -6.
they will bounce back from a loss against the Jazz, so most likely they will win with a huge margin.

Good call on the Suns, they won double digit, surprised though that the game is very early on our time.

I will skip the Warriors for now mate, I'm still hurting on them not winning that ruined my parlay hhehehe.

I know that there are a lot of controversies surrounding the Nets with the Irving drama, but report says that he is back against the Memphis so this is the first time that I will be backing them up at -7.5. Ja Morant is in question in tonight's game.

Thanks mate! It seems that the -10 of the Warriors is a bit too high even if they are just against the Rockets. It's evident that they are only working more on offense without any tough defense, we can see it on their stats, only few rebounds and that might be the reason why the Rockets was not really struggling to chase them to get a close game.

Tomorrow is a much tougher game, they are up against the New Orleans Pelicans. I'll be skipping this one, hard to predict because Klay is still on/off.
2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 21, 2022, 02:55:53 PM
Its true that once a boxer do suffer out some losses then is really that losing its value and interest.Nothing goes much better of seeing a boxer which is undefeated, although staying up on the current division on which he's been dominating is much more better.

I agree that the value of a boxer will diminish if he losses but I believe the boxer's popularity can easily recover if he beats a more dominating boxer.  After all, it is normal in boxing to lose, there are only 1 guy that retried with an unblemished record.  Again regarding on staying on the division, it is still depending on the situation of the boxer.  For example, Inoue is dominating his weight division but later he has problem meeting the required maximum weight, so he has to move up in order to maintain a 100% condition during the fight.


The value will recover if that specific boxer will defeat a much more dominating boxer or defeat him in his own division but that won't come easy because that same boxer will have to be patient first before he can reach that stage where he can redeem his value or much higher than that. Also, it is every boxer's dream is to maintain their undefeated status while also cement their legacy and there's just few boxers who did that until they retire.
As for this one, Inoue will have to risk his record in-order to gain because he won't be growing if he will always stay in his comfortable division.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 21, 2022, 02:20:36 PM
Not surprising because many people believed that Thurman cannot make any difference at this point while Spence's still on his peak, I'm not saying that Thurman is already old because their gap is only a year, but people will still believe that he doesn't have that skillset to defeat the 3-belt champion and that excludes me because I believe that Thurman is not yet done.

I understand your point though because Thurman, even rested for almost 31 months, still showed dominance against Mario Barrios and the final score given is really that gap. Although Barrios can't be compared with Spence, that means that Thurman still has it.

However, Spence's previous winnings via Decision are all landslide wins and the scores tell it all. It means no one from those opponents gives Spence a hard time even coming from a deadly car crash. Can't choose between them but I just hope that Thurman can at least give Spence a tough and close fight.

Yes, he rested for more than 2 years, I even thought that he already gave his career up because he was not in the radar for such a long time with no rumors or everything about him. Just plain no sign of him, maybe he took that huge time to reflect what he could've done but anyway, the thing is that he's back now and already gave a message after he defeated Barrios impressively. Now, he will fight a champion again, let's just hope that Thurman can fulfill the hopes we gave him or at least put up a good fight for Spence.

And for betting, can't really decide whom I'll bet soon but I'm already expecting that Spence will be the favorite while Thurman is the underdog.

Yes but the spread might not be that far knowing that Thurman can upset Spence, still tough to decide since both fighters are still on their prime and the mission of keep winning is what they wanted to established, for Spence his no loss record is very important while for Thurman the belts that Spence is currently holding some of it should his if he only avoid that knock down from Pacquiao he can win that fight as he recover and almost take it from Pacquiao.

Interesting fight for boxing fans, both fighters can impress with solid combinations.

I don't have any doubts on that, I'm sure this will be an entertaining fight that I wouldn't want to miss. Hopefully this will be finalized as soon as possible because we already got robbed by a supposed-to-happen fight, I hope this will push through. Thurman has finally got his chance to redeem the glory back but it will be a tough fight because Spence won't be handing him the belt that easily, especially now that this is fight is a bit personal to Spence.

Without their former coach they are still a better team, in fact, they get better now IMO, and that's probably due to their finals experience. On the opposite side, we have the Warriors struggling despite their good performance in the past NBA FInals.

In this case, the talent is in the team players themselves and maybe the new coach just made some simple changes in order for the players to still do the things that made them contenders the last season and with the current best record in the league, they are really working and might gonna be still the Eastern Conference representative in the NBA finals. With their next home games, I'm sure they will gonna improve their ranks once more and probably hold their records until the end of the season if no injuries will push them to the sideline for more than 2 weeks.

Their coach duty now is to guide them whenever they needed it and works as an extra pair of eyes and brain to let them know what they should do in between time outs, the rest are on the players as they are now more experienced than the last season and that is probably why they are now leading on ECF.

Their next game is still on the road versus the Bulls, if they will win this one which by the way have a high chance because the bulls are still chaotic righg now and sits below .400 pct. If that happens, they will break the Bucks win streak this season.

The market is so volatile. It's difficult to interpret whether Bitcoin will repeat history. We should also have other alternatives for investment. Have you heard about Streamr bounty?

The volatility of the market also affects that streamr bounty or whatever that is, it doesn't give any special treatment or exemption to any coin and do you really expect that it will grow if bitcoin will be more difficult in the future? Bitcoin has been difficult to interpret since it surfaced and created, but it is still the most sought after coin of all time because most investors undoubtedly know that bitcoin will repeat its history, as always.

Every bear market leads to the death of shit coins and with the current saga combine with the bear market more will follow suit.
Actually bearish market do affect any coins in the market depending the potentiality of the coin, so many of shitcoins give off during a bearish market, but sometimes not some do give off, because of the investors who are on queue investing such particular coins, so i will agree with your suggestion and in same vain make you to understand that fews coins do survive via bearish market.

That is why bear season is important because it will eliminate any insignificant and worthless coins in the market that will just confuse the investors and potential investors in the crypto market, just think of it as a useful season to get things sorted for you so that you won't be wasting your funds in coins that doesn't have any utility. Along with the elimination of shitty worthless coins, valuable coins on the other hand will rise and remain until the the bullish season will come.
2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: November 20, 2022, 01:23:11 PM
Although the odds are clearly on the Tank's side, KingRy can be surprising. This will be one of the most awaited next year's fight and there is already a lot of speculation around the fight.

Both athletes should be on the same mindset towards winning, so in that regard, they have about the same motivation. The value bet should be on KingRy side, however he's winning chances are shy. You can check the best odds and even calculate your own predictions here.



It's called a superlight and I understand why Davis is a slight favorite here because he had some good matchups in his pasts few games compared to Ryan Garcia who rested due to mental health issues and came back fighting boxers who are not legit champions.
2068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 20, 2022, 12:35:53 PM
The Boston Celtics extended their streak to 9 games. They have also won their last 2 away games and will play 6 games at home after playing their last away game on November 22 against Chicago.
Without their former coach they are still a better team, in fact, they get better now IMO, and that's probably due to their finals experience. On the opposite side, we have the Warriors struggling despite their good performance in the past NBA FInals.

There is a recovery in Los Angeles Lakers, they closed their last 2 games with a win. He will play San Antonio on November 21 and I think he will beat the formless San Antonio as well.

Well, the Lakers are getting better, they move the ball well and Davis is beasting, hopefully they will continue winning so their chance in the playoffs is still good.

^ Correct me if I'm wrong though, isn't it the relationship between Tim and his legendary father is not that good? At least that's how I got it from the news and he has been in boxing without his father's help or influence in his career. So I don't know if he will learn from him father since he is not with his side in any of his fight.

However, Tim can't deny that he has his father DNA and that might be enough to bring him to greatness.

Yes, hard fought match and so it's starts with finding a good sparring partner in order to better prepare him in this fight.

Outside the ring, Jim and his dad Kostya is in good-terms and had a great relationship with his father. As far as I know, his dad is not that supportive to his son, Jim, when it comes to boxing. Details are bit blurry and not clear enough why but I assume that Kostya wanted a different life for Jim away from the boxing industry, but even his father cannot deny anymore that his DNA are running through his son including the superiority in the boxing ring.

Jim had a revelation recently and it seems that his father already accepted his son's career, so he decided to support him instead.
Quote
Undefeated Australian boxer Tim Tszyu will have his famous father Kostya with him for his world title fight against Jermell Charlo on January 28 in a huge boost to his chances of winning the biggest fight of his life.

Tszyu, 27, believes the hall-of-famer's knowledge could give him the edge in the showdown with the light middleweight champ.

Knicks had a great win in Denver on the road.  Yep Denver was without jokic but going out west in Denver is never easy no matter the lineup.  2-0 on the west coast trip they need to get some wins behind them and clear space between being .500

Thibs is now locked into a 9 man rotation which seems to be working.  They go into golden state Friday night, I'm not expecting much from that visit but that's why they play the games right!  Glad nba is getting underway, fall is always the best season for sports.

It's good that they got a win against the Denver team, but obviously, they don't have their MVP and it was a very close game.

But against the Warriors at home, it might be tough for them. Curry just drop 50 points but they lost on the road against the Phoenix Suns.

For sure they want to have a good bounce in their own homecourt so as much as we wanted for the Knicks to upset the Warriors, it will be hard pressed for them.

It was a 3-point game, still a tough game for the Knicks even if it was a starless game form the Nuggets but the Knicks managed to rally in the 4th quarter with the help of Julius and Jalen. But surely they aren't that lucky this time because the Warriors proved again that they are really hard to beat in their homecourt. Curry didn't put much scores this time which is understandable after giving 50+ points in their last game vs the Suns.
2073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 19, 2022, 04:03:55 PM
However, it seems Bob Arum won't allow his Inoue to face the champions right away and for me, that would also be a nice move once he moved up. There's no need to rush for a title match right away although I really badly want to see Inoue facing Fulton or Akhmadaliev in a title match someday.

That's not really far from happening once Inoue climbs the next weight class and that might be the closest case because Bob Arum is known to take a less risky path for his fighters while milking them at the same time for challenging a much easier opponent. I assume that Bob Arum will let Inoue to face either Fulton or Akhmadaliev after 2 non-title fights, with win of course.
Arum is a genius, so yeah for sure he won't let that happen unless the champion is weak, but Fulton is no pushover. So I'm expecting Arum to just pick someone that can easily be beaten by Inoue by knockout or by another impressive win.

And maybe, when the hype is still there, he will allow Inoue to face either champion.

But then again, boxing politics might be the biggest stumbling back again.

If the current champion is weak then it is expected that the title contenders will be chasing him, but that is not the case this time because just like what you have said, Fulton is not weak and neither Murodjon as well. The hype will always be there I bet until such time that Inoue will be freed to face either one of the two champions in the super bantam.

For now, Inoue might face one of the top 5 contenders in the said division. I'm not gonna assume that Arum will be picking such easy foes for Inoue because that won't get Inoue battle ready and get used to the weight. So, again, it might be on of the top 5 contenders.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 19, 2022, 03:31:04 PM
I lost my bets tonight. I was disappointed by the Warriors against the Suns. Even with Stephen Curry putting up 50 points it wasn’t enough to beat the Suns. The Warriors didn’t have it tonight.

I guess Curry was the only consistent player in the team, if Poole did his job, that would give the Warriors a decent chance to win, but man, he was only 2 points in that game and his points only came from free through. Thompson as well needs to step up, but the biggest problem in that game IMO was Poole.

I haven't seen the game, but surprised to see that Poole didn't score that much? Maybe he was really guarded and the Suns just allowed Curry to score.

Wonder though what Klay's feeling since him and Booker has somewhat had a thing going on in their first match and Klay pointing to Booker that they have 4 rings, hehehe. But after that, it was all downhill for Klay as he is inconsistent.

Blazers vs Nets - I will have to go with Blazers -2.5.

It was a tough game for the Warriors and it was really evident that Stephen Curry was all too exhausted putting up huge scores so that the team will remain afloat but it wasn't enough because neither of his team was stepping up with him. Even Wiggins didn't score that much but Poole was so disappointing, I thought that he will be more competitive if the game is tough but he did not. Just glad that there's no altercations this time and Booker is not teasing Klay anymore even if they won the game.

Raptors vs Hawks -4.5 ; and will do a live betting for the Jazz vs Trail Blazers.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: November 19, 2022, 03:09:37 PM
If I'm not mistaken, they started their beef with they move to the same division, and not just because fans are clamouring for their fight. They are the 2 best boxers in the welterweight so sooner or later they will cross their path. And again, if my memory serves me right, they have been calling each other for a fight. And when Crawford got the chance when he bolted out from To Rank so chase his dream fight, it wasn't meant to be this year.

There was no beef between them 5 years ago, but they knew exactly that there will be a time that their path will cross someday. Their beef only began when people started teasing and gathering hype so that these two heavy names will fight. Spence has been in the division first way back 2015 and became a champion first holding the IBF when he knocked out Kell Brook while Crawford joined the club way back 2018 and fought directly with the WBO champion, Jeff Horn by KO too. Unfortunately, until now their fight is still not yet possible even if they are the only ones remaining who holds the titles.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 17, 2022, 02:17:13 PM
So far, Errol Spence won the voting. However, it's fun to see that some posters think Thurman stands a chance of winning this fight. I'm hoping that it will not end in the judges' scorecards so there will be no controversy in case this fight is going to be a tight one. Thurman is not gonna make it easy for Spence, he is the champ but Thurman was once a champ and he is still young and could prove that he deserves to have a belt again.

Not surprising because many people believed that Thurman cannot make any difference at this point while Spence's still on his peak, I'm not saying that Thurman is already old because their gap is only a year, but people will still believe that he doesn't have that skillset to defeat the 3-belt champion and that excludes me because I believe that Thurman is not yet done.

I'd say that Spence should secure a rematch clause just to be sure if ever Thurman will indeed manage to upset Spence because I can see that Thurman might face another boxer instead if he's through with Spence as there's no clause that will block his way. Just a wild speculation though! Cheesy
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 17, 2022, 12:56:02 PM

That's right! The boxers are left hanging because they cannot do what they wanted and so is their legacy left uncemented because of some fights were to impossible to happen. Promoters should've just agree that whoever has more belt or whoever has more to offer, they should be the ones who will control the fight and demand what will happen as they're on the A-side, but that's just easier said than done because these promoters aren't willing to listen.

There's more than this actually because we don't know what kinds of negotiations they're having behind closed doors. I think it's not all because of money but something bigger than that if the negotiations between two huge boxers are not successful. First of all, promoters don't really care about their boxer's glory or records when they reach popularity where their fight can earn millions of dollars because, at this point, promoters are taking care of everything especially when they gonna fight a worthy opponent that is capable of defeating them, if it's not a multi-million deal, it won't gonna happen and they won't take the risk at all.

If there's really more than that then Terence Crawford shouldn't have said those words publicly and saved himself from the issues that he's also ducking. I think he was just being honest and just emotional because he was played with months while carrying those hopes that their fight is nearing to completion because he already cut ties with Bob Arum.

Also, I disagree with that part where you've said that promoters would stop caring if they are already popular and will be worth millions per fight. That's untrue, promoters will still take care and try to maintain the unscathed records of their cows even when they reached the peak because their worth will start to decrease if they're starting to lose. And so you know, it's not a win-win situation for them.

Lakers era might be on the verge of ending and same goes with LeBron unfortunately Sad. Maybe he has 1 more year on a full scale but after that , he will be in a decline as age won't forgive him either. It's like in every sport , we are starting to enter in a new era , with fresh players and the one we grew up with , they are getting older .. so I do hope we will see a "last dance" story from Lakers and LeBron.

There's been no Lakers era, to begin with for several seasons already. Prior to the arrival of LeBron, the Lakers are already always out of the playoffs discussion and it was just when Lebron came that they experienced again being in a playoff. Maybe after LeBron hits that biggest milestone of becoming the Top 1 NBA All-Time Points Leader, he might just play relaxed now as nothing to prove now on his career while still making more money.

Although surely, he really does want to be in the Finals again but that would be tough.

There's a lot of talk about trades again suddenly.  The Lakers have stated they're trying to get Bradley Beal, the pundits have said they need to trade for Kevin Durant (typical), but it seems like something real may actually be in the works.  It's been reported that the Lakers are again trying to contact teams to see if there's anything they can do to get themselves a role player.  Meanwhile the news today has you thinking that the Lakers and Suns are going to make a trade to get Ayton to LA in exchange for LeBron coming to Phoenix.  This seems like an insane trade on the initial look, but Ayton has years left on his contract and LeBron could be eyeing the exits this summer...  Plus LeBron has always wanted to play with Chris Paul...

They couldn't get Bradley Beal that easily because the Lakers are not willing to put their future 1st round picks on the line as they might do some rebuilding a couple of years from now. I'm thinking this is Lebron's contract with the Lakers which by the way, got me thinking when you mentioned that Ayton is going to Lakers and that might pave a way for Lebron's wish to play side-by-side with his close friend, CP3. But the Lakers will need a good deal because Ayton alone won't be enough, 1:1 ratio won't suffice especially when Lebron is involved on the trade.

Lost two of my bets today, Nets didn't go through either as well as my Grizzlies bet. I was hoping that these two teams I've mentioned will able to bounce back after their defeats last time but unfortunately, they did not. Ja Morant contributed 36 points in playing 36 mins of the court, quite high but it's still not enough to win because only Clarke and Brooks helped him. While the Pelicans had 6 players contributing double figures each leaded by CJ McCollum.
