What a start of this first semifinal between to quality players in the world Khachanov vs Ruud in first set both breaks serve two times, but fight back very quickly which is showing their commitment and quality which is essential for this Grand Slam after end of first set with the score of 6 - 6 Ruud won this by tiebreaker with the score of 7 - 5 look like it's going to be five set match as both are having good service and good returns entertaining match is going to be long both are fighting hard for place in final as now after many years we are going to have final without big three.
Second set started with Khachanov done good start after having score of 0 - 40 won his first game.
Ruud improved his game on hard court drastically since last season. He still isn't the best out there but he can run to almost any ball and he is solid with all his strokes. Still can't believe he has a chance to be no. 1 in the world if he gets further then Alcaraz here. Very interesting situation all around, if Ruud and Alcaraz loose today - Nadal is no.1. If one of them wins and the other looses, winner is no.1. I want to see Ruud - Alcaraz final and if we get it, then the winner of US OPEN becomes no. 1 as well. My money and sympathies go towards Alcaraz, he simply has that something that makes you wanna cheer for him. For me it is still wierd if Ruud wins the us open and gets that first place. He isnt the material for first place with his gameplay but he is improving. Currently he is leading 1-2 against Khachanov and has an amazing chance to reach the final and book his place in the final Why though? big 3 is already fading, it's time to look for replacement for them and it's fortunate that it could be Ruud to become the top player in the world right now. And yeah he defeated Khachanov, and have a new title, "Ruthless" Ruud. The match between Tiafoe and Alcaraz is on the final set, Alcaraz leading 2-0. Nail biting match, when we thought that the Australian Open is exciting, I think the US Open beat that one as far as game matches and excitement is concern. |

Currently, amid the dire state of the crypto market, investors are becoming more and more skeptical about the concept of a cryptocurrency mixer after Tornado Cash was accused of laundering approximately US$7 billion through the crypto market, and has been blacklisted by the US Treasury. While the popularity of crypto assets suggests that digital assets will remain, the increasing number of scams and attacks suggests that investors should exercise caution before entering a decentralized market. Here are the top crypto mixed platforms that offer similar services to Tornado Cash but can be used in 2022.Only narrow-minded people if they think this is the end of the altcoin mixer. I don't know why they not looking for another way like exchanging it first to bitcoin and then using chipmixer or another free mixer. why only focus to altcoin? I guess it's because it is the first of its kind to be successful in the altcoin market. Sure there are a lot of bitcoin mixers still around even if there is a continuous crackdown. And If I'm not mistaken, there are predecessor of Tornado Cash but it turns out to be a scam. So when finally we have a working model, and for years it is being used by a lot of ETH users, suddenly the government shut it down. But I believed another alternative will appear, but ETH users could use other methods like you mentioned before a new replacement for Tornado Cash will emerge. |

It's a shame that people started to think that 15k would be closer due to a few bad days, we could have a few good days and not only be close to 25k but could even reach there. People are way too non-supportive of bitcoin and its price increases, we shouldn't consider it being like a bear market forever type of deal, we are not crashing and burning, it is just a bad day and it will be over quickly.
I guess people vote on what is the current sentiment are. We also have good days last August, the price move to $25,000 and if I'm not mistaken 2x-3x. But it was not maintain and then it went to a lows of $18,000 because of pressure from the bears. So most likely they voted based on that run. And who knows, maybe we will reach $25,000 again and goes on another rally to $28k. But so far, we even had a hard time to breach $20,000. So that is the first barrier that we have to go through this month. |

Jabuer run continues in the ladies side, as she defeated Garcia. So she will be the first one to reach the finals.
Swiatek and Sabalenka still battling it out, as usual Swiatek lost the first set. And then storm back in the second to win by 6-1. Start of the third set now, and it seems that he has gotten his confidence back and her momentum. Sabalenka needs everything if she wanted to win.

As per Shakur, we might see him moving up to 135 lbs sooner than expected because he admitted that his body has difficulty making the 130 lbs limit. “It all depends on the weight cut at the end of the day,” said Stevenson during an interview with Thaboxingvoice. “I done (did) amazing things at 130-pounds already. My last two fights to be specific, I done put on shows and I done did a lot at the weight, so if I struggle with the weight cut and it be hard on me, I think I’m going up to 135. Tell them boys get ready.” https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-move-up-135-sooner-expected-tell-them-boys-get-ready--168907And we all know that his target is Tank Davis. So if ever he wins and if he think that he is going to struggle to make the weight cut again, he will definitely go up. And then the 135 lbs will continue to be one of the most stock up weight classes. I think we have a discussion that Shakur could clean up this division first or unify all the belts. But it seems that this might not be the plan after this fight with Robson. If he can't squeeze 130 lbs in that body so there's no need to force him and still fight in this division. It might backfire on him as weight is a big issues for boxers. So yeah, he is all welcome to come in the next great weight class (besides the super welterweight). |

Regarding the fight between two ladies, I have been wanting to see this fight, is in jeopardy because of the passing of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall has a schedule bout in O2 arena this weekend. But the promoters says that they will continue to go with the official weigh in just in case the British commission will allow the fight to go through despite the period of mourning.
Oh, yeah, I saw it on my feed that the Queen has passed away. So chances are the fight is going to be cancelled here. The whole nation will mourn for the time being so any sports should be cancelled indefinitely. All eyes are into this fight, they have been calling out each other and the trash talking between this two ladies will rival anyone in the men's side. So let's just wait for the official announcement. |

I do agree that upsets do happen in every fight like in the Lopez vs Kambosos or Him vs Lopez, but for Loma if might be a different case as he is coming from his war torn country and he wanted to show everything that he is back and that he will get back all his belts. He is also inspired by the win of his countryman, also trained by his father, Usyk. So I don't see him being careless or underestimate him, unless he is injured or something.
I just hope Loma won't start slow. Since he is from a long break due to him participating in defending his country, there is a possibility that Loma will adjust since this is his first fight after a long break. And besides, if we observe his fight against Lopez, he really started so slow there, it was in the later round when he starts showing what he has, so in the end, Loma lost via unanimous decision. It is much better for us to expect that Lomachenko will start slow rather than expecting the opposite one because we know that his inactivity in the ring because of the war might take some toll that will causes him to start slow. Also, I believe that Loma will take the time first to feel the environment while testing the water against Ortiz. Nonetheless, it's hard to think that Loma will be defeated here as he have the advantage when it comes to ring IQ and that is what matters the most even if he haven't got the height and reach advantage. I don't think that Loma will start slow, he is eager to get back in the ring and just like in his first comeback fight coming from a lost and injury, he blasted a good fighter in Nakatani. Of course the circumstances are very different now, but Loma having a top boxing IQ, it won't deter him to start where he left off prior to the war in Ukraine. So I expect the same Loma, if not much hungrier in this fight to impress his fans. |

Classic tennis match between the next two gen player, Alcaraz won over Sinner in five sets.
He was down 1-2 and then he come back rallying in the last two set to win in more than five hours and will now face Tiafoe in the semis.
It was like watching Nadal and Federer, a rivalry that was fun to watch because each one is so great that you don't know who is going to win in the end.

Kudos to Paul Butler for doing this. I cannot easily believe that he just signed this match-up. Is he too honorable or he's getting paid at least a million dollars in this fight or maybe both? But I am very happy that finally another undisputed championship is happening. Boxing is a little back to its glory days when champions should fight each other.
Its probably his 'death wish', to fight the best champion in the bantamweight. And it's because of the paycheck that he will get in this fight, I speculate that's why he chooses to signed on the dotted line. Inoue will smash Butler pretty easily. Faster, stronger, more powerful puncher, stronger chin, higher IQ, better stamina, heart and has more experience in high-level fights. Is there even an advantage that Butler has? Maybe some can say he is taller and has longer reach? But it also means he will enter the ring slimmer which is vulnerable to body punches.
Not sure what advantage Butler has in this fight, and if I'm not mistaken the fight will be held in Japan? And yeah, Inoue is known to be a body puncher so once he time Butler coming in with either hand not tuck in his body, for sure Inoue will make it sure that he hit him with power to knock him out by just one body punch. |

Still at works, lots of things to iron out, they are domestic rivals including their promotions, Matchroom by Hearn (AJ) and Queensberry Promotions by Frank Warren (Fury).
No doubt, both promotions know there's a lot of money riding on this, and I imagine Hearne is going to be pushing for a 50/50 split rather than taking the smaller purse. I imagine it's going to take...in typical boxing fashion a few months to sort this out, while both fighters are ageing. There will probably be issues with securing a venue, all of the normal excuses you have when it comes to these two fighters. I also see them selling out, and going to Dubai to host it. They'll want the money, and the UK side of things can't compete with that, which will be a huge shame for British fans wanting to see these two fight in their home turfs. If I'm not mistaken, in the schedule first fight of Fury and Joshua, the side of Anthony pushes for a 60:40 and then Fury camp come back with the 50:50 split. Perhaps Hearn will used it against Fury this time and see how they will react with that kind of split. Of course, it will be a shame if the fight is not going to happen in the British soil. But the money is going to flow if ever this is going to be in Saudi again. It seems that Hearn has build already a good rapport with someone rich and influential in Saudi that he can just go there and ask for the fight to be held with this amount of money. |

I think I made a mistake buying at $23,500 (obviously), so when should I really start to panic now that we dropped to $18K?
I don't think you made a mistake, so no need to panic and sell it right now because obviously you will not profit. The best thing to do is just hold on it. What if the price shoot up in the next bull run? I guess you have to answer if you are for the long haul or not. At what price point now should I consider to add more to average in at? Like, if you owned a bitcoin at $23,500, would you wait for $10K or 15K to start adding more to average in your high price of $23,500?
$15,000 would be a good price to average, again, what if the price didn't go down that low? You really have to understand what is your main goal first, be a long term holder or sell right away for a small profit? |

Same as you, buying bitcoin in weekly status or at least when I have fiat at hand and just be a HODL. And since we are in a bear market, they are in a discounted price so we should take advantage of it.
And it's also a long term goal for me, I have stocks that I have hold for more than 10 years now so I believed that I can do that to bitcoin or even longer, (at least 3 bull run cycles), so let's see.

Good to hear that Nick has nothing to say bad against Karen in their gruelling five sets match. Two big servers, in the end it was Karen to make some pressure shots down the line. I must admit that I was surprised because we all know that Karen is somewhat very inconsistent, but in this tournament he was really focus. And so he will have Casper Ruud to face next. Probably this could be another five setter for him.

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. |

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. |

^^ 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 6 3-7 7 6-4 7 10-6 7 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. |

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. |

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. |
