2101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 11, 2022, 02:59:09 PM
^^ If I'm not mistaken, it was Spence who said that if this fight fell off, he might go up to 154 pounds and fight Charlo for his belt, they are close though, so this fight is going to be in intriguing match up.

https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/errol-spence-jr-ill-fight-jermell-charlo-if-the-money-is-right/qjic7626975v1ougby4lhrgsq

That was the time when there's no clear chance that he will fight Crawford. But on the other hand, Crawford also like to face Charlo at 154 lbs. If they have the same target and if these Crawford vs Spence won't be organized officially, I wonder who will face Jermell Charlo.

It's just a waste moment for me that we will not see this big fight if ever things not worked out properly. I don't see any reason why this fight should not happened. Spence even mentioned before that there's no thing on their way for this fight not to happened. Crawford on the other hand has also the same view that his fight against Spence will really happened.

But even both boxers are positive that their fight will soon happened, we still don't see any good news about the progress of this fight.

Yes, there's indeed no reason why this fight won't materialize this year because both boxers are already free and they both need each other to be an undisputed boxer in the welterweight division. Crawford waited for this fight for a long time now and Spence himself said that he will go and grab Crawford's belt next, I wonder why it takes really long for this fight to be announced. People are already anxious about this, I hope the fans, uncluding us here won't be left hanging because of the expectation.

"Brooklyn Nets reportedly asked for Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum for Kevin Durant. " Most celtics fans already hated the previous report of Jaylen Brown + picks for Kevin Durant and with these recent reports. I'd say if it goes through, there'll be riots across Boston. Seems very unlikely that this goes through.


I wonder if the Celtics will be interested about that because Jaylen Brown is a vital asset in the team's success last season even if they didn't get the title but they managed to get as far as the Finals even though they don't have any experience at all, what makes them unique is the trust and chemistry they have. In that case, the Celtics shouldn't bother with that because the team will be just left alone again if in case Durant won't be satisfied.
2103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 11, 2022, 06:22:53 AM
Whatever the reason is, that will not excuse him to get away from that defeat he got in their first encounter and it might be just good for Ancajas if he will just admit that he didn't expect Martinez to be that good that's why he lost the fight and it's somehow clear that his stamina is not keeping up in the late rounds too. Maybe this time they can score a win and bring back the championship belt to the Philippines.

Yes, agree too that it's irrelevant to have such excuses why a boxer loses because of a bad condition.

Take the example of the Featherweight Title match between Gary Russell Jr. who is the champion at that time against Mark Magsayo of the Philippines. Russel is clearly not in good shape as he is suffering from a shoulder injury but decided to continue with the match. After he lose the title to Magsayo, never did he make excuses about him being in a bad shape why he lose but instead, will promise to get back strong to take a chance again on the title.

Anyway, did Ancajas really mention that he loses because of that cramps or whatever reason? If yes, then that's a big problem since he doesn't recognize the strength of Fernando Martinez as he is just pointing out his disadvantage on that night where he loses.


Ancajas should just admit his defeat and recognize that Martinez overwhelmed him as we could really see the difference if we look back at their fight, he didn't use his own height and reach advantage that's why Martinez was able to move freely towards Ancajas. I hope this time there will be a difference in his performance and that he'll do everything to redeem his loss and the belt because he will be embarrassed again if he will be defeated in their rematch as Martinez camp will surely do everything to improve their boxer.
2104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 11, 2022, 06:00:58 AM
Gambling sites are a special type of business. Every business principle is to do several tips to attract customers. New gamblers will always be attracted if gambling sites offer deposit bonuses and various occasional cash bonuses. Handet Person Deposit Bonus to be offered to new joiners. Withdrawal system to be introduced without KYC. A gambling site needs to increase its trustworthiness rating points so that new gamblers will be attracted to that site.

I agree, a withdrawal system without frequent asking of KYC to its will indeed make the casino top of the list because the casino can still do its job to see their clients if they are using the platform for laundering money, they don't need to ask KYC frequently because they can see it in their history where does the money come from. They should stop taking advantage of this KYC because that alone could really lose the interest of the gamblers.

Looks like the Jake Paul vs KSI fight is official now.  They're not doing it until next year for some reason, which seems like a lot of downtime for Jake who was ready to fight now...  I think this is one of the lamest fights that Jake could make, but I guess he's running out of options.  Personally, I would have much rather seen him fight McGregor or Andrew Tate, but I guess those guys don't feel like Jake is near their level yet.  I will be happy when this youtube boxing stuff is over with and must admit I'm surprised Jake has been able to carry this on for so long.

They won't really settle to fight Jake Paul because like for example Mcgregor, I never see him fighting with some common fighter or some vlogger. Jake Paul has been delayed to fight because no one really wants to take his condition, especially since the fighters he wanted to fight are famous and not jokers.

these paul brothers will not stop up until there are no more interested opponents, and they are still selling the fight. so what they are doing is strike while the iron is hot. they may not be professional boxers, but they found their way to extract some money via these exhibition fights. the interest will start to wane as we have real boxers that are already fighting again inside the ring. so maybe, later on, these paul brothers will stop when no one dares them inside the ring anymore.

That is their forte and they really know how to make money in the boxing industry even though they aren't really a type of boxers who will be a champion in any weight class someday, well maybe it's possible for Jake but for Logan? I don't think so.

Jake's chance to finally be considered as a professional boxer has fallen into pieces because Rahman is his ticket for that. I really pity him because he really wanted to be a boxer just like his close friend, Ryan Garcia who is now successful in making his name known in the industry

Both brothers do have upcoming fights all the time but are also canceled many times. They seem to shame the MMA fighters, if they can't find someone like Woodley to fight them, they go for the Youtube celeb as well.

Jake vs Andrew Tate is one of the upcoming but God knows when this will be announced to be real. Logan vs Dillon Danis. This one could be possible Danis is fit and had no career left. This man will fight to the end if Logan will really tries him.


But they can only afford to shame the ones like Tyron Woodley because Jake and Logan cannot possibly defeat any pure MMA or boxer in their own weight class. There are so many names that have been connected to these brothers that is why I cannot keep up anymore which of them will be the real foe that they will fight in the right. We heard funny match-up that these brothers believe they can defeat, like Jake against Ngannou and Logan against Iron Mike.
2106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 10, 2022, 10:28:29 PM
You're certainly right about that! Don't know why Durant feels that he is that much entitled to let the owner choose between him or the general manager and head coach, where does that come from? Yes, he is a great player and is a 2x NBA champion but this is way over his head though.
Joe Tsai doesn't need to choose because as you said, the franchise is under no obligation to follow Durant's requests. Let him sit in his whole contract if he doesn't want to play because the time that the contract is finished, he will be older enough to know that he won't amount that much anymore.

It looks like Joe Tsai is not going to choose. He's already mentioned that the coaching staff and front office have his support, and the Nets' management will make the decision primarily in the best interest of the Nets. So Durant's attempts to manipulate the owner's decision have been fruitless. Also, as stated earlier, other teams simply can't or don't want to offer key players for Durant. That means Durant will probably be forced to play for the Nets next season, even if he really doesn't want it.

Yep, there's no need to choose because they have no obligation to do what Durant wanted if he will stay and play for the Brooklyn Nets and in fact, Durant is the one who is under obligation to play for the team because he got a contract under the Nets and frankly he should be more thankful for that.

If Durant doesn't want to play then let him sit up, it's his career that will be shattered eventually and not the Nets loss.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 10, 2022, 01:28:00 PM
LOL.. I can see a lot of posts against Canelo. Being a fan of Golovkin myself, I could agree to many of these posts. Canelo can't be blamed for what the jury did. But in the end, he benefited from it and refused to acknowledge the fact that Golovkin was robbed of a win. And we saw a repeat of that during his fight against Bivol. The only difference was that Bivol completely dominated that fight and despite the fact that the jury tried really hard to score a win for Canelo, it was simply not in their hands.

Canelo has been always on the hot seat since he fought Golovkin twice, many people believed (including me) that the latter was truly robbed of a win and that is also why people and fans are anticipating a trilogy somewhere in 2019 but Canelo stood his ground while saying that he deserved that win and there's no need for a trilogy as it was clear that he dominated Golovkin. Maybe Bivol is his Karma to wake him up that getting help by the judges won't help him that much, and if ever the judges ruled in favor of Canelo that time, I bet there will be issues that the judges and Canelo cannot forget.
2108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Recent Experience at a Land-Based Casino on: August 09, 2022, 09:07:50 PM
It's not good that the employee (Gambler's nephew) shouts like this in the casino.
He should have gone to his uncle's house and explained to him that he should stop gambling and think about his family. If he doesn't stop despite this, then it is on him. No one can force him as he will probably change the casino if he felt awkward when his nephew shouted at him.

Quote
If you were the casino manager would you fire the casino worker for interfering with your business or would you ban the gambler from visiting the casino?
If it's the first time it's not an issue but if it happens again and again I'll kick them both out as they are disturbing other players.  Cheesy

The employee had a thousand of choice on this situation but it's just easy for us to say this because we aren't in his shoes. He could've say to the management and ask them not to let his uncle in the establishment to control his gambling desires but he got emotional when he saw he's uncle walking again inside the casino and suddenly shouted him.
I understand the man why he acted that way but his action wasn't professional as he's working that time.

What happens is that when there is money at stake, everything can change, even feelings like family or even as a couple is something else, it does not enter into this, it is why clear stories keep friendships and at work they cannot be be mixing any type of feeling or anything because that usually has a negative impact on the business, and that happens in every business, it must be respected and everything must be paid, and with respect to the worker, I consider that you always have to give an opportunity and more so when the person does not receive any type of training, in every job one must receive training and more so when there is money, I think there should always be a second chance.



Not sure bout your opinion but in my own decision I'll be going to kick them both from the casino personal matter should be discuss out from the business, there are people who will be annoyed and it will affect the business, it's best to settle the issue outside and not to let more scenes to happen inside.

I'm not going to argue about second chances as it can be provided, the action would be needed to weight the situation

and decision should always place consideration before concluding.

Well, business is business and there's really nothing personal if you get fired as long as it's reasonable. In that certain scenario, the management have all the right to ban the man and fire the employee because of the unprofessionalism they showed that could really ruin the casino's image.
We don't really know what happened after that but I think that the management forgave their employee especially if the said employee was one of their best or employed for years now.

2110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 09, 2022, 07:46:04 PM
While it is true that there does not seem to be any doubt about who will win the rematch, this is about contractual obligations, Kambosos had a right to call a rematch and as such Haney had no other choice but to accept, for the fans that want to see a competitive fight this is not the best outcome but if Haney wants to retain his titles he needs to accept, besides now he is probably going to get a larger share of the money so it is not like it is a complete loss to him.
The UK and Aussie fans are different . They love boxing. They will fight this second fight in Sydney and do another 50K crowd about like they did in Melbourne. Meanwhile, assuming kambosos didn't agree to the rematch, he would have been exiled back to Australia. And, I think those other big names like Ryan Garcia and Tank would never fight kambosos unless he had the belts.


It was Kambosos who asked for a rematch because he has the right, no way he would not try to get back his belts, it's his only chance to be a champion again. One last try, if he will lose then that's it, he has to move to his next plan which we have no idea yet.

He is eligible to ask for rematch because it was written in their contract that there will be a rematch if Haney's camp or Kambosos camp will ask for it, in this case, it's Kambosos camp who ask it because it is their boy who lost in the first encounter.

It's also the same for Haney, he can also ask to have this rematch in US soil but he didn't ask for it because he is confident enough to embarrass Kambosos again in his own homeland. As for the poll, many of us here, including me who believes that Haney will still be the winner in this rematch.

In a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai, Kevin Durant reiterated his trade request and informed Tsai that Tsai needs to choose between Durant or the pairing of general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash.
So, how is KD going to get a coach fired who, he himself handpicked? haha. I guess he's done that before.

I don’t know why KD feels he can issue ultimatums like this. He’s under contract. What is he going to do, sit out all season and not get paid while losing another year of his career at the end of his prime? The Nets are under no obligation to do anything for him. After the annoyance Kyrie has been though, this strategy of being a squeaking wheel might work. Seems like KD and Kyrie want to blow up the organization and move on. They moved quick.

You're certainly right about that! Don't know why Durant feels that he is that much entitled to let the owner choose between him or the general manager and head coach, where does that come from? Yes, he is a great player and is a 2x NBA champion but this is way over his head though.

Wht u think ? Merit for sure good innovative idea here
Sorry mate but i think your idea is quite absurd, and certainly not going to work. Just imagine such a huge amount will be gone just to reach out for that biggest whale, and we're not even sure if his own idea may work too. Probably, if we do that, its like we're gambling our hard earned money and i won't encourage everyone to risk for that.

2113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Early Adopters rich? on: August 08, 2022, 07:42:07 PM
It depends if they managed to resist the temptation to sell or spend.  It's conceivable that many of the people who got in super early when BTC was <$1 may have assumed $10 or even $100 would be the highest it could ever go and sold the lot.  If they held, then yes, they're pretty rich.
Probably, if early adopters have tend to forgot their investments and only remember it today, then surely they'll gonna be instantly rich. But i doubt it as most of them have not expected for bitcoin price to go this far, and they just spend or sell it right away when they see small profits. So definitely, early adopters have become rich if they hold them even for 10 years, but for those who are quick enough to sell them, i think they must be regretting today, wishing they have not sell them earlier.
2114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth could take over BTC or not on: August 08, 2022, 07:05:09 PM
With PoS coming and Gas fee finally getting fixed do you think that Ethereum is capable of overtaking bitcoin? Oh also there will be max supply for Ethereum finally too, or is this expectation of mine way too high.
Even if Ethereum is soon to adopt improvements on its own network, but i always believe that bitcoin will stay dominating the whole crypto market system. Aside from the fact that bitcoin is the most secured crypto asset, its value is quite more tempting than the rest of the coins in the market. So even if ethereum issues will finally be resolved and people will find it now affordable, bitcoin will always gain the spotlight in the market and will always be the people's most favorite coin to invest.

Your username will represent what you do in the forum after you have registered and started your journey, it is not immediately you register and is yet to do anything, if my username is "fuck you" for example, and i am a contributor and have a good reputation, my username would not make other members see me as bad, i will receive merits as long as i am helpful and other members will recommend my posts as being great. But if my username is "bitcoin guru" and i am a spammer, scammer, i will be addressed as one, the username doesn't matter in that way.

Needless to say that newbies should protect their username and make sure it is associated with only good things in the forum, but "protect your username" doesn't mean newbies should worry about the wordings or semantics of their username, but what they do with their account that carries the username.
Exactly. It's not the meaning of the username alone that matters but its more on the contribution of that certain name, his quality posts and all his good words and deeds. Even if the word entails a loser or a black sheep in the forum, but if that name is known for his high quality posts and very outstanding performance, he will always be popular and remembered because he has always been a good asset in the forum. Most particularly with newbies, they should focus more on how to establish their own names with good and excellent performance if possible, and not just on the impact of the name itself.

It's always a good idea to come up with a strategy for when you're going to buy (and potentially sell) coins rather than just continously aiming to buy a lower price (you're more likely to sell at a loss then too imo).
People would always go for the cheapest price because that means the best moment to buy, but since there is no easy way to make us know that bitcoin price will still drop or not, then waiting for the cheapest price before buying would only mean regretting in the end. It’s better to do DCA than just keep on purely waiting, as you might not want to regret in the end because you miss another golden opportunity again.
2117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have started teaching Bitcoin to my Neighbors on: August 07, 2022, 09:39:19 PM
Whether Bitcoin can be used to pay the bills depends on the country because it's certainly impossible in mine. Is it really possible in yours?
Also, I think trading is a job, not a business (an exchange website is a business, managing funds of others is a business). Other things on the board seem right.
It's cool that parents are encouraging their young adults to learn about Bitcoin, I'm quite surprised about that.
I think it's important to teach these people about the safety of holding Bitcoins (importance of using a non-custodial wallet) and of keeping the keys safe but also somewhere one won't forget to look.
Also, have these people consented to the photos being published? If so, it's great, but otherwise it's a violation of their privacy and the faces, at least, should be blurred.
I guess the parents encouraged their kids about bitcoin  because they have seen that OP is living a good life despite the fact that he is not employed or what, and still managed to pay all his bills. But these young minds should also be aware that bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and accumulating and owning bitcoin is still risky if they are also not taught on how to make their own accounts safe and secured. However, when bitcoin as a mode of payment, well that would be great if the customers too are aware about bitcoin so that they can also make use of bitcoin rather than fiat alone.
2118  Economy / Economics / Re: Henan Bank decides to use citizens money for investment on: August 07, 2022, 08:59:12 PM
Imagine a situation where you have worked for your money and put in the bank but at the end of the day can't access them simply because your government decided that it would be the best fund to cater for development of the country!! That's the rude awakening citizens of the Henan village of China got.

This is how most custodians of any assets make their money - they lend out your assets to others.

It's not limited to banking as it's done by most stock exchanges and billions too.



The tanks are probably more unique to China but a lot of countries have militarised police.
This is not just for Henan bank alone, but also practiced by a lot of centralized banks worldwide. You invest your money in them, and then they will use your money too to make more money for the bank and apparently for their own interest too. This has been happening ever since, but I think China make it worst. Not surprising why they always make it to ban bitcoin because once people will adopt it, it will eventually stop their own modus because people will not trust the bank anymore and will all shift to bitcoin.

Hello,
According to the marketplace, now is the time to Buy or Sell or Hodl?
Any idea welcomed.


Thank you.
We are still in a bear market and I don’t think it will recover easily. The coins are still giving us good opportunities to buy and hold, rather than selling them and gain little profits. But if you want to sell them because you are in need of cash, I guess that’s still reasonable but always buy back when bitcoin price drops again so you can invest them at a relatively lower value. Bitcoin is a good investment, and it will be more valuable if you can sustain hodling them for long term.

Honestly, I'm not sure if he could manage to hold and risk more. It was to think that investing in Bitcoin is good advice but for some reason, this isn't suitable for everyone. Imagine that your sister is even hard to keep $5 a week, I could assume that after you give some sats to her, she gonna sell them all.

Let us accept that investing in Bitcoin isn't for everyone, neither urge your sister, your brother, or any of your family members, we also have to consider their capacity.
A lot of people would want to invest in bitcoin because of its growing value overtime, but not all can sustain the patience and persistency to hold bitcoin when there is already a big crash happening or when emergency arise. Some would definitely sell and others would remain hodling them. However, in your sister’s case, looks like she’ll fall being a weak hand. She’s certainly not a pro investor so I don’t think she can manage to make those bitcoin grow. Just reserve them for your nephews, they will needing good finances in the future. If their mother can’t provide it for them, at least you are there willing to help them.
