2101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 07, 2022, 09:15:43 AM

I just wish Jerwin is in top form and focus on his gifts and natural skills rather than attempting to brawl just to please the crowd.

That's what we definitely want to see, that way there will be no more excuses from his camp, and accept the defeat if he losses. Although I'm not thinking he will lose, but he has to be a man, accept with no excuses and move on to the next plan.

I really don't know why he become a brawler to a brawler, that is not his style and obviously we've seen that in the fight as he doesn't have response to any of Martinez attack and counter.

Of course as we support him, we don't want him to lose, but they need to prepare for the worst. His body might have problems making the contractual weight again and this might result of him not performing at optimum level in this rematch.
2102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [NEWS] Gambler Charged with Murder after Letting Kids Die on: September 07, 2022, 08:59:51 AM
A careless mother’s casino time resulted in her children’s death. The neglectful parent had left her kids in a hot car to place a few punts at a local casino without considering the consequences.
This is the saddest news I read today. I knew this case isn't possible when in online gambling but this is possible for other unfortunate circumstances too especially at home or somewhere else when you're doing your online gambling activity.

This should be a lesson to take to all parents out there that family is priority first before anything else especially children.

I wonder if there are parents who have experienced something like this or someone knew that has the same case, not with the one with a dead case though but something accident happened because of neglect parenting.

It's really sad to hear this kind of stories popping out because it involved the life of a young kind and the parents are irresponsible to leave him in the car since we are in a heat wave right now and didn't think for a second that she is endangering her kids. And it's too late now for her, and it's a hard lessons for the mother but hopefully the wheel of justice will roll and she should be in jail for a long time for letting this happen because of her gambling addiction.

The news about Michael Saylor tax evasion case makes my inner bearish side stronger. The Government is very eager to take down crypto while it’s on the weak state. I believe that we might see lower lows in the upcoming months because there’s still a lot of upcoming negative news for crypto that might be a source for more selling pressure. Ber months usually the start of the bull run for crypto but we can’t still see any sign of it so I believe November is the right assumption to see such movement.

I don't believed though that the news about Michael Saylor will have a drastic effect on the market. Although we are still in the bear market and it can go either way, break the lowest low and then final capitulation of around $10,000. But so far we are resisting further down slide. The market keeps bouncing off to the support of $20,000 that I don't see the price reeling to a new lows this year. It might be that December could be a good time to see some pump right before the holidays. And then we go full bear market again early 2023.
2104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 04, 2022, 02:21:19 AM
^^ Everyone is after the money, no more legacy or pride or try to be called the best in boxing. And of course there are styles as well, styles that make people buy tickets and wanted to see the fighters live to see how good they are like Tank Davis. But then again, boxing politics will stand in our for us fans to see if this fight is going to be made or not. But it's better for Shakur to just take one step at at a time, beat Robson in a dominant fashion like he did against Oscar Valdez and as I have said, go and unify the belts, we've seen Josh Taylor did it this year and Canelo has done that in 168 lbs. He should chase history first, before pursuing money fights.

If he will win against Robson in their upcoming fight, then its not only history that he will chase but also lots of money will be in his possessions. However, it’s always good to see a good boxer taking one step at a time because that will also give him enough time to master his own boxing skills and enhance what needs to be more develop. As for Shakur, it won’t be hard for him as he has already titles that prove his worth in the ring.

For sure, he is being trained by his grand father Wali Moses, so he is as old school as other trainer as you can get. Meaning, he would rather have his prize pupil to chase history first and not go for the money. Making a name at 130 lbs and having all the belts will be the best thing that Shakur could accomplished. So at least before he goes to the next weight class, he will be respected as he had the 4 belts including the lineal. And then he can go and fight Davis and whoever the champions at 135 lbs.

Rublev and Shapovalov are playing good tennis at the moment, and it is 1:1, with great fight in third set
both are looking pruned to pass into next round

What a match to watch, both were with the never give up mindset to move forward. Finally it was Rublev who won the match 6-4 2-6 63-77 6-4 710-67 and Shapovalov is no down to Rublev. From the very beginning of the match there is fire in the match. Every set is quite interesting to watch and I just watched it and didn't made a bet or supported one of them. If I've flavoured this could've pumped my heart beat to the extreme.

Yeah, was just in the tie break that Rublev take the advantage, was really good match to watch.

Alcaraz and Nadal won their respective match already, and yes it was easy 3 sets win for them. I thought that Gasquet might give Nadal a headache, but 6-0, 6-1 in the first two sets is enough for me to see that he will take a win without that much of a struggle.

Kyrgios vs Medvedev tomorrow, this is going to be fun to watch. Let's see if Nick is going to have his tantrums and then break up in this game. LOL.
2106  Economy / Gambling / Re: BK8 - Biggest and Most Trusted Brand. Asia's #1 Crypto online casino BTC & USDT on: September 04, 2022, 01:39:52 AM
That promotion is very good, but I wonder if they can take promotions for people from the center of the earth? lol, Ecuador, South America, there are many people who like gambling but do not enter much because some sites have restrictions with their geographical areas and because in some casinos they do not have the Spanish language, I know several friends whose parents occasionally play here in the casinos of Ecuador, and the movement is quite fruitful, and increases on weekends.

I have told them a lot about Duelbits and some are already beginning to try it, but since it is with cryptocurrency, they sometimes mistrust it because they do not know it very well.

The restrictions are a big problem casino has, we can't do anything if talking about the rules of the country because it will involve all the people, some people even pass it by using Proxy, but still, if the casino has rules about it, they can force you to close and banned you. And, if we are talking about language, I think we can reduce it or relieve it because we have google translate on Internet, and all languages can do with only 1 click on chrome.

True, there are countries that are restriction by this gambling platform including the place that I live in. But I don't bother to use VPN just to circumvent it because sooner or later it might give me a big problem in the future. So the case with casino, they know which countries ban online platform so they won't take that big risk specially if they have the reputation already. I guess @danadc you should at least open their eyes first regarding crypto before you open their eyes about gambling, just saying.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 03, 2022, 11:58:33 AM
If Canelo skips a rematch, fans will be disappointed as minimum, and as maximum could say that Canelo is afraid of Bivol.

If my memory served me right, Canelo wants the rematch right away against Bivol but his camp was advised by some professional analyst, groups, or something along those lines that it will be risky for Canelo to head straight to a rematch without doing some other fights first. Maybe as part of conditioning as Bivol is really a big deal and able to turn the heavy favorite Canelo into a punching bag.

But before that discussion, let's see first if Canelo can give GGG a hard time on this trilogy.

1st and 2nd fights are really close and this 3rd one should now show us who's the real winner between these two.
I read something similar, we need to remember that boxing is not just about throwing the strongest punch that you can, it is also a game of strategy, anyone that saw the fight of Bivol against Canelo could see that Bivol was way above Canelo and it was a bad idea for Canelo to hold a rematch immediately.

Definitely, it''s more than brute force or power, know boxing has becoming a holistic approach. Not just training and who punch the hardest, now it's diet, nutrition, they hired sports doctor and dietitian, even sports psychologist.

It makes more sense for Canelo to fight other opponents and try to make up for the weaknesses that Bivol exploited on their match, and only once he believes he's ready then a rematch could be pursued, after all I do not think Bivol is going to avoid him as the amount of money that he will receive for the rematch should be very high.

When he bolted out of Golden Boy and sign a contract with Eddie Hearn, sooner or later he knows that he will have to fight GGG and he can't avoid it regardless if he wins against Bivol or not. And now the tide has turn, he is not chasing Bivol to get his revenge.
2108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 03, 2022, 11:36:28 AM
I think it is the use of sauna that ban him from fighting and due to that, he was unable to defend his title twice which resulted in him being stripped of the title.

The bottom line is, that Casimero is having a weight problem issue that leads him to use the sauna. Aside from that, his camp was unaware of that policy under British Boxing Council. If only they are responsible, Casimero should be the one facing Inoue now. Don't want to happen the same situation with Jerwin Ancajas.

Back to topic, and as I previously posted here, Ancajas camp admits that they overtrained Jerwin just to meet the required weight.

That's why to solve that, they will cut Ancajas' training volume as one of the options to make him perfectly in good condition on the day of the fight.

So it's really on the burden of the trainer of Jerwin, he needs to ensure that he won't overtrain and will just be in the peak condition right before the fight itself. Maybe they think that having training volumes will cut his weight, but I don't think that is a good idea.

Again, they've seen their mistakes and saw how Martinez fights. This will be enough for them to make the necessary adjustment in weight, training volume and strategy so that Jerwin can get his belt back and then aim for Ioka in the future for unification.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 03, 2022, 11:09:51 AM
The DAZN recently releases their top 10 boxers in the last 30 years, it might be controversial because there are names missing on the list, but anyway, here they are:

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather
3. Roy Jones
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Pernell Whitaker
6. Oscar Dela Hoya
7. Felix Trinidad
8. Lennox Lewis
9. Evander Holyfield
10. Canelo Alvarez

https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-and-canelo-alvarez-dazns-top-10-boxers-from-the-last-30-years/1c7wm1f7ve6jo1egax8huxi4d2

For sure majority of us will disagree on the list, who you got on our list?
I don't see Mike Tyson (is he not covered by the last 30 years?). But I don't know who should be taken out of the list to insert him.
Youngest to win a heavyweight title. 3 major belts. He should be there despite what he did. So yes, it's controversial. But I always respect the ranking of different people/analysts or a group. It's always biased and the same as my own rankings when it comes to different sports.
Some may say one fighter/player is better for him but not all will agree to it.

Yes and Holyfield is there but  no Mike Tyson. The two headed monster - Klitschko's at least one should be included in that list. MAB (Marco Antonio Barrera) or Erik Morales.

I agree with Manny or Floyd on the top of the list. We have seen Manny becoming a 8 division champ and then Floyd undefeated in his career. Oscar Dela Hoya should be higher than Sweet pea. Roy Jones and Bernard is right about there in the list.

GM fam. Wanted to bring this imminent topic to the table.

We are getting close to the event, the ETH Merge, many are seeing this as an opportunity to go all in and take advantage of a possible pump, like the one we recently saw with Vitalik memes, on the other hand, there are degens willing to play safe, which side are you on and why?.

Recent news below as reference:

https://tokenist.com/ethereum-funds-recorded-1m-in-net-outflows-despite-the-merges-hype/

It's really hard to say, but I will be out of the picture. But let's say we put this scenario:

Scenario 1: You are very active with ETH (not me), and you are willing to take that big risk to jump on the bandwagon because you know it is going to pump when the Merger this month. So you just wait for the right time and then boom short term you make some quick money.

Scenario 2: Like me, you are not that active, just laid down but looking at the outside, just invested enough. But regardless there will be a pump or not, you are in for the long haul.

Scenario 3: Different story though for those who are willing to stake 32 ETH to be a validator because you can't withdraw it.
2112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play online/offline without your wife or family knowing it? on: September 02, 2022, 05:18:56 AM

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

I guess that is best thing, hold your phone and not let her touch it. But sooner or later she will find it out believed me. So it's better to just play if she is sleeping or if she is not around. But as I have said, it will be a big problem if she found it out later.

Just tell her straight up that you are betting on game or in a sports and playing slots. And let her play too, at least that's what I did during the pandemic. But she is not looking to play like every day. Just the regular "we want to pass the time" types of playing. And after that whether we win or lose we stop.
2113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 02, 2022, 01:25:25 AM
Well, it's a unification fight, so they are staking their belts for this fight, Inoue will lose his belts if Butler will succeed here, but to be honest, I don't see it happening, the chance is very slow.

This fight is just considered a formality for Naoya Inoue to become the Bantamweight King.

No hate towards Paul Butler but we are just being true here. There's no upset that will happen here.

Paul Butler didn't even experience being a choice to be Inoue's next opponent. It just happened that he steal the WBO Bantamweight Title without a hard effort that's why Naoya Inoue needs to face him no matter what to finally unified all the BantamWeight titles.

Yes, regardless of who Inoue is going to face, he will have the 4 belts under his waist. Much better though if it will be the Filipino Casimero because there is more hype on it, the result might be the same.

Again, no offense to Paul and his camp, but I'm imagining that this fight might end in one body shot that Butler can't recover. There have been a lot of Inoue's victim fall for it. So if Butler has weak body, for sure one touch and he will go down and might not beat the count.

That signature punching KO of Inoue, the body blow.  That is pretty effective on a moving target since body is a wider target and cannot bob or weave. So if ever Butler plans to dance in the ring, then this body punch is a counter for it.  I haven't seen Butler to be stopped by body blow so this will be the first time if Inoue did KO him by body blow.

Yes, Inoue has stopped a lot of great fighters he face with a simply and yet big body shot. Sometimes it's a delay reaction but often times its devastated his opponent as they are wincing in pain the canvass.

But that's not Inoue only weapon, we've seen his powerful right as well, so very very hard fight for Paul Butler. And he has a weak chin that Inoue might target early. He can only dance as much as he can because Inoue knows how to cut the ring as well. So Butler needs a lot of energy to sustain that run until he is hit in the body or right in his face.
2114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 02, 2022, 12:30:22 AM
Spence is a coward, he does not fight the best to keep is undefeated record. He could have fought Pacman but cancel the fight to get an eye operation, and beat Ugas easily. For me, I now respect Crawford than Spence because he doesn't want to take risk and stake his undefeated record for this unification fight.

Before a certain fight, both boxers are checked if they are healthy enough to fight. The eye operation is being advised to Spence that's why let's not say he used that as an excuse for not fighting Manny Pacquiao. About his story with Crawford, maybe the best term is dodging and not being a coward. Crawford before is also under the shadow of top ranks that's why he didn't get his preferred match, especially against Spence.

Moving forward, should be no coward or something else as Spence and Crawford will now face each other finally and the possibility is high.

Wait, we shouldn't put the word coward here they are all after the money because their health is always on the line in every fight. Spence fight with Pacman has been canceled because of his eye operation that is true and it doesn't mean that he is avoiding Manny at all cost. That's what we perceived it though he doesn't want to have a piece of Crawford because he thinks that he might lost. But what if he get a good offer? I think he will without a heart beat sign the contract. But for now, maybe the offer is not that good and so the stalling game begins. Who will go and bite on the bluff of either side?

while there is a war going on in their country, these cyber group are also busy victimizing. just amazing.  Cheesy

it didn't say how long this call center been operating, i can imagine they operate for years by the number of employees laying down. Just arm these crime group, recruit these guys to fight Russians in Donetsk.

Probably just part of a smaller group of cyber criminals in Europe targeting everyone from cryptocurrencies to oil and gold people. I guess it is the proverbial "all is fair in love and war".

And it's the typical call center that we known of, maybe they are 24x7 on rotation and their family thinks that they have a regular job. Yeah, instead of putting them on jail, bring them in the front line and fight for their motherland like the rest of the Ukrainians.
2116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 01, 2022, 05:45:22 AM
The rematch will happen if they are after the money and grant the wish of the fans, regardless of who will win the fight, it's still interesting to see a rematch. I guess let's focus first of the possibility or a chance that this fight will become into reality, and we can talk about a rematch later.

The fight is being the wish of the fans for a long and this fight is likely will generate a big money but still, there are lots of hindrances to making this fight official. It means the possibility of a rematch will have the same status. Definitely, the winner of this fight will now finally move to 154 lbs because that was their respective goal. Crawford will move up if this fight won't materialize while Spence is willing to move up too even not having a fight with Crawford.

See the picture here? They don't bother with each other if this won't really happen.

Going back to the fight, this fight will happen by high chance based on the last article I posted here from a good and reliable source.

I'm hoping it will because it will disappoint us that after we got hyped it will still not gonna happen. At least before they move up in weight, they should give us the fight that we want to see, what's the reason for not fighting each other, for sure not a money problem as you've mentioned they'll make a lot of money here, the only hindrance is they are not real warriors, they are afraid to lose.

It won't base on that last update they are almost on completion and the desire date might be possible this coming October, though

still no finalization but it's moving, and the chance is high now, just some concern that needed to address then it will go smoothly, most fans

are hoping that both fighters will accept the challenge and be the best fighter from this division. Let's see if who's really the tough one and

will continue to have a clean record after this fight.

If they could pursue this match, it will surely be one of the most awaited fights this year and would really make noise. We're all been waiting for exciting matches of huge names in the boxing industry. There have been lots of hindrances but I guess they're already doing all the processes to push this fight later this year.

I don't think there have been a lot of hindrances, if there is, it just boils down to money.

Who will be the A-side, what network is going to cover the fight? So for me this fight could easily be made, but I guess the people behind doesn't want it if the money is not right or at least everyone is not satisfied on how much they are getting. It's September and we haven't heard a thing about it. So it's better that we shouldn't talk it for now, for sure it is really wearing out to hear this fight in public and then nothing is happening from the background.
2117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: September 01, 2022, 01:48:20 AM

He is one of the best in the boxing world, very entertaining to watch, and what I like about him is he does accept challenges and he proved most of the time that he is the best. Though he lost to Lopez, but if there's a chance they will have a rematch, I think Loma could win and maybe trilogy will happen.
I can back that up since I also believe that if Loma will have that opportunities to fight for a rematch I think he can win it up and force for a trilogy, he still have that power and he can still push his opponent to make an opening he will keep on throwing good solid punches and deliver his finishing punch if he will see any opportunity.

Let see first if he can deal with Ortiz. A KO will bring more interest to him. It will help to hype his name and bring more money fight for him.

It's not a question on if he can deal with Ortiz, for sure he will. It's how Ortiz will do if he saw how technical Loma is. He may set up for a lot of traps that he can't see or if he see it he doesn't have a answer to Hi-Tech Loma. And as you have said, I'm seeing a knock out maybe in the middle or late rounds for Loma. Ortiz will offer some resistance, but Loma will be too much, the skills the ring IQ the power, setting traps, overall skill of this boxer is unmatched.

It can be difficult to understand why Fury does the things he does and says the things he says making it difficult to work him out but most probably Fury will always be on the lookout to get in the ring for a unification fight to make the big money and then will get out. Fury does not come across as the sort of person that will box for years to come therefore he will need other activities to keep busy and keep the money rolling in.

Has it been confirmed though about a reality show and deal really been signed with a broadcasting company? I think if it did go ahead both Mr and Mrs Fury will be very much at home having camera crews around them  Grin

Yes, it seems that the news is true, Tyson Fury, as you've never seen him before! Netflix announce At Home With The Furys documentary series with the boxer and his wife Paris, so it's like a Kardashian show.

Not sure how the public will address it though. Maybe we can see more funnier side of Tyson with his family. And obviously, this partnership with Netflix will make them another huge money, avenue for more wealth right after boxing.

It could have been a lot worse.  We're still comfortably above the lows as we approach the time we'd typically see a bottom in the 4-year cycle.  Regardless of how ugly things may appear, I believe people would be wise to start accumulating and dollar cost averaging back into the market if you've been on the sidelines or got out at higher levels.  I think in another couple months the upward march will begin anew.

I agree, we are still on the $20,000 and didn't go down that low for this month, so it could be a lot worse and thankfully the bulls was able to put up a good fight at the last day of the month.

For sure, we have been preaching that we should do DCA in this bear market and just continue to accumulate. Specially for others who don't want to trade daily. It will just make sense to buy and then HODL and have a lot of patience. Sooner or later this will be over for us, bull run will eventually have to enter the picture. And so we should take advantage right now. Wealth is build on this bear market.

As you have said, this is not that accurate though, maybe a user can have many wallets as well so it's not really a good gauge. But as we all know of, Litecoin is like a small brother to Bitcoin and maybe that is why up to this day it is still very relevant for some uses or maybe there are still a lot of investors on Litecoin and hoping that in the next bull run, it will have a good price. And if you look at the price still median at $50.00++, so that is still affordable for the majority of investors.
