221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: June 18, 2024, 11:44:47 PM
And the corrupt WBC? They might suspend Ryan for 2 to 5 months only if proven guilty of illegal substances. That's like an normal high ranked fighter resting a couple of months and then train for 2 to 3 months and then at fight night the suspension is already lifted.

I will go with longer, at least 12 months. But let's see if Ryan and his team can "pay" WBC to shorten the sentence. They said that they are awaiting the result or the decision of New York State Commission as most likely they are going to based on that.

I doubt Ryan will pay the WBC since it's Sulaiman's financial loss to be honest. Ryan Garcia can still be sanctioned by the WBA, IBF and the WBO if the New York commission won't order a suspension. And I doubt there are suspensions to happen especially that the issue is already dying. Haney just have to accept his first defeat. Haney is lucky enough to still hold the belt. The right call should've made the belt vacant unless Ryan did not pay the WBC a share of his purse because he was no longer interested on it.

By the way, the IBF has a new champion. Undefeated Liam Paro outworked the heavy handed Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico last weekend.

There are reports that Haney is coming back to fight Sandor Martin, and Top Rank was the one who wins the bid on that fight as Bob Arum believes that it will be big as everyon wanted to see how Haney is after that devastating lost to Ryan Garcia. So let's wait for this official announcement, although Haney is sort of pissed off when Match Room of Eddie Hearn didn't even put a purse bid for this fight.

As for the suspension of Ryan, we haven't heard anything yet specially from NYAC. Not sure what it is this governing body taking too long to make their official announcement and tag Ryan Garcia as a cheater and did used PEDS here.
222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Akhmadaliev ordered by the WBA no later than September 25 on: June 18, 2024, 11:21:57 PM
This is another count for Inoue , I know Akhmadaliev is a good fighter and am sure that this will bring
a great fight against this Japanese monster but this is not enough for  inoue's getting laid.

Per report, Top Rank is not keen on heeding the advise of WBA for that mandatory fight against Akhmadaliev because they think that the latter is not popular enough so better to relinquish the WBA belt rather than fighting Akhmadaliev.

That's fine, besidess, he has nothing to prove since he had already became an undisputed champion in the super bantamweight division, and I believe he will not stay long in this division as I'm sure there's a plan to move in a higher division, probably next year, or maybe the upcoming fight of Inoue would be his last if he can successfully defend his title.

Sooner or later he will have to go up in weight, it's inevitable, and even he said that he will just stay here in this division and then go South next. And it seems that he has his hit list, including Akhmadaliev. Casimero will be the only one remaining, or the mandatory in Sam Goodman. But those two doesn't bring anything for Inoue so maybe after this fight he will go up to Featherweight and face the champion.

But the dream fight, will be Inoue vs Tank Davis in the US. For now though, it doesn't look feasible as Inoue is still way below in the weight class. However, everything is possible, I mean Manny vs Oscar Dela Hoya did happen, or Manny going up against a much bigger guy in Antonio Margarito.
223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico. on: June 18, 2024, 10:48:58 PM

I also can't find the highlights as I was not able to watch the fight because of the "Father's day" celebration,  Smiley. So I was quite surprised when I see it in my feed my morning time that Paro pulled a upset win in front of Matias fans as he was awarded a unanimous decision.

It was said that Matias can't get things in this fight, and usually if that happens, boxer who just rely on their power and can't hit their target have no plan B. And maybe this is what happen in this fight, Matias was really at lost at how good Paro avoiding his power shots and so that's the story throughout and Paro just taking points every round to win in the judges scorecard.

Many have not seen the highlights I just rely on what I read, DAZN delayed posting the highlights on their channel but here it is

HIGHLIGHTS | Subriel Matias vs. Liam Paro

Lian Paro employed a tactical fight and made a lot of adjustments that threw Subriel's game plan, Subriel could not keep up with Paro's movement, and Paro always had an answer on every Subriel attack, it hard to score the game as a draw as Paro is in command throughout the fight.

It's hard to beat a pressure fighter but in this case, Paro studied Subriel's movement so he could counter his attack and moves, I was rooting for Subriel as I want him to fight Tank Davis but with this loss he needs to prove himself again.

Yeah, I watch that highlights and this is what I've noticed and it was a good strategy for the trainer of Paro,

a. Don't go overboard with his punch, just enough to touch Matias and at least feel the power
b. That upper cut that he throws was very effective as Matias is going with that shell defense of him
c. Hug and clinch if Matias is coming of if he has enough combination
d. Fight in the center of the ring
e. Paro has good chin, I was surprised, in round 3-4 Matias hit him, snap his head but his back to throw more

So again, they really have a lot of time to study Matias in this fight. There is no excuses that Matias can't throw in this fight, he did try at round 2 already. But it doesn't have any effect of Paro and then Paro just stick to his game plan for the rest of the fight. So kudos to his trainer for this great strategy and betting Matias in his own game at his own home court.

To your friend that investment on Bitcoin when the price is still $65,000 and then went to $71,000, then good for him, specially if he take that profits already as the price goes back to $65,000 again, so it's either just a paper lose for him and he did have a profits already. And to your friend that didn't invest and now wanting to, this is the perfect time if you can advise it to him and they could be in the same boat right now (if the one that investment early didn't sell).

I don't think though that it's a bad idea for your friend that initially invested, I mean that's one way to proved that Bitcoin is not a scam and you can really make money out of it if you know what you are doing.

But in the end, both of them can invest, no need for the other friend to feel that the other friend is rubbing it in to him. Just take it as it is, and then believed now and invest what he can afford to lose, win-win for both of them and to you as well because you are the one who advises both of them about the beauty of BTC.
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico. on: June 16, 2024, 10:25:41 PM
DAZN promotes this fight but there were no highlights on YouTube that we can see, all we have are interviews of both fighters the only highlights we saw are coming from reviews of boxing media, this is such a huge upset nobody saw this coming, a unanimous win by Paro even Subriel do not have a complaint on the decision.
He admitted that it was a big humiliation in his interview because it happened in front of his people.

Subriel can still climb and become champion again but he needs to be more technical and add some movement so he will become an overall champion.


I could not find any highlights either, which is not good if you want to build the profile of this fighter who is in a division with some big names. I did hear some complaints of the referee being very biased, which does not surprise me because it’s the same referee that kept interfering in the Dubois vs. Usyk fight whenever Dubois had some momentum, and ultimately ruled that a borderline shot was actually a low blow and gave Usyk an eternity to recover.

Matias had been considered a boogeyman after making 5 consecutive opponents quit, and all his victories were by KO also. That distinction should be taken with a grain of salt though, because those opponents were unknown fringe contenders. Paro was a massive underdog, so anybody who bet on him will have made a good profit. He has become an upset specialist. I’m sure if he fights Teofimo, Haney, or Pitbull Cruz, he will also be an underdog but it might be worth taking the risk considering his track record and that all of the champions are very beatable.

I also can't find the highlights as I was not able to watch the fight because of the "Father's day" celebration,  Smiley. So I was quite surprised when I see it in my feed my morning time that Paro pulled a upset win in front of Matias fans as he was awarded a unanimous decision.

226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set a specific bankroll before gambling or not? on: June 16, 2024, 10:06:23 PM
"Bankroll" is usually a term used in sports betting. From what I've read in some of the threads here, we need to be disciplined in managing our bankroll, typically betting only 5% to 10% per wager. So I'm curious: do bettors here really set up a bankroll first before they start gambling, or do they just gamble whenever they have available money?

Please share your experience whether positive or negative and what you learn from it.

I voted for no, I usually don't go and look for the numbers, in my opinion. I just play and control myself when I played, although it's really hard to do, specially after a couple of minutes that you are so unlucky, that the initial money you played have been swept away, you will also think that you want to deposit again and go and recoup what you have lost.

But I will said to myself that enough is enough and I will no longer play that time even if I have money still. But for those who set like 5% or 10% and have a budget, then good for you, I just don't what to make my gambling complicated.
227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas on: June 16, 2024, 05:52:47 AM
Tank Davis got the impressive knockout in the 8th round and retained his email belt. As good as this might look on highlight reels, I’m not sure it can be considered such a great win. Frank Martin is a good athlete, but his boxing skills are very limited and he didn’t have the experience needed to prepare him for Tank. I am ready to see if Tank is more than just hype. He is almost 30, it’s time to fight Loma and Shakur, not just take shots on social media.

Talk about upset, it didn't happen here, Martin is no match to the boxing IQ of Tank Davis, he just methodically break him down, hitting in the body in the first 3 rounds to soften up Martin and then goes head hunting.

And even if we call Tank paper champion which I do agree, there's still boxers that he need to face next in this division, Shakur and then Loma. That will really set his greatness if he will beat that two name in a spectacular fashion as well.
228  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN will be $350,000 by August 25, 2024 - Robert Kiyosaki on: June 15, 2024, 11:43:20 PM
It's not possible to state Bitcoin is going to hit 350.000$ when in fact it hasn't even reached six digits yet (100.000$). This kind of prediction is baseless and has as sole goal to generate views and traffic for the author. There are lots of people who keep repeating absurd things on the internet, because they know that is how they can make the algorithm works in their favour. It's an old marketing trick which has been working smoothly since the era of the printed media.

Yeah, it's like Robert just pulled that number somewhere else, but for crypto enthusiast, we all know that it's not possible to get to that price in short amount of time. There's no way that suddenly big money is pouring in the market and pushing it hard because it's going to look very artificial and by that, Bitcoin could looking be like any other altcoin there, pure pump and dump and that's what we what to happen.

I'm just hopeful Bitcoin can continue growing by August 25, 2024, as we have been seeing since the beginning of this year. There are still tough challenges ahead, such as breaking the 72.000$ resistance line, and then conquering more levels until the 80,000$ and 90,000$, so we can finally start dreaming about the six digits for the first time in history! Being more realistic, that is what should be predicted regards Bitcoin progress by the end of 2024.

Who wouldn't want Bitcoin to grow by August, but there are a lot of factors to look it. But maybe around that time, the bulls has wake up already and then we will see new all time high around $80,000-$90,00 is possible. So just need to be patience here, that's one lesson we have learn here. It's the key and then we have to accumulate as much as we can so that we will be ready come bull run or parabolic rises.
229  Economy / Speculation / Re: Some bad uses of bitcoin. :'( on: June 15, 2024, 10:44:37 PM
I will not get to th technicality of Bitcoin, While I do agree that Bitcoin can be used for illegal activities but this has been happening before the invention of Bitcoin and still it happens largely through Fiat not through Bitcoin as Fiat don't leave any traces as it's not captured anywhere hence I don't think it's fair to stigmatize Bitcoin with illegal activities.

Yeah, I think this so called bad news from Bitcoin comes very early from it's bad media publicity and then it just struck with us specially when we hit the peak at 2017 wherein some social media outlet reported that Bitcoin is very used by criminals or others to launder money.

It's more difficult for criminals to do this, they still need to be technically inclined, and if given the fact that they are, then there could still be traces in blockchain, specially that blockchain analysis has evolved throughout the years are well looking for addresses that might be used by this criminals. So doesn't make sense for them to used it, and would rather go back to the traditional way of using fiat because that's where they are good at.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting law ignores technology and encourages clandestinity on: June 15, 2024, 10:14:04 PM
You have to also understand that lots of fraud go through casino and its not a wrong idea for them to regulate it a little, I believe they must be a reason behind this new rule that they brought out l, it can't totally be to stop crypto casinos from excelling in the country, who knows it might be task related.

Yes, we understand that, and maybe that's what the government of Brazil doesn't want, but we all know that crypto based casinos are asking KYC (Know Your Customer), personal information like drivers license and passport so that they will know who they dealing with and prevent such cases as money laundering.

So it doesn't make sense for the Brazilian government to make a total ban on cryptocurrencies.

This is the new technology and we all know that if you look at the other way, there could be advantage of it like blockchain that they can implement as we all know that everything is recorded and immutable. So why not the government take advantage of it instead of going backwards?
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Y hs giving out our private information become a normal thing in the name of KYC on: June 15, 2024, 09:57:42 PM
guys, why is it that giving off our private information for the sake of passing KYC on casino platform became a normal things?

It's like the norm today, and as you mentioned, they will have to ask each customer info so that they will know their location. Why? because they have to make sure that they are within the gambling age. There are instances that kids stole their parents credit card and they try to play on crypto based casino, as least asking for info might prevent this from happening.

Another is the basic, AML policy, casinos will have to fully comply with this law, otherwise they can't get any licenses. And financial watchdogs are very strict with this law because they don't want casino to be used by criminals to launder money. Casinos have fraud department that constantly looking for any suspicious activities from their customers and the moment they see something odd is going with that account, they are going to ask their customers for KYC immediately.
232  Economy / Gambling / Re: Crypto casino without investment on: June 15, 2024, 09:38:57 PM
Hello, what do you think - it is possible to open a crypto casino without any investments. I'm not including domain and hosting costs here, but I'm mainly talking about payout costs. Alternatively, if not a crypto casino, then faucet, something like freebitcoin but without a casino, just faucet.

Possible, but you really need to have a lot of money to begin with, but if you look at the history of land base casinos, the now big and famous casino at some point need investors to get the ball rolling. And it's better to have investors obviously so that you will have unlimited funds to make casinos from scratch.

As others have said, PvP, but it's not enough in my opinion, players get bored easily and they look for games that will give them thrill and adrenaline rush. So you need slot games as well and this entails that you have millions in order to get top tier, level A, slot machine operators.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas on: June 15, 2024, 09:15:03 AM
According to rumors, if Tank wins tomorrow, we might finally get to see him face Vasyl Lomachenko.

A source connected to negotiations told BoxingScene that Ukraine’s three-division champion and IBF lightweight belt holder Vasiliy Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) has confirmed to his promoter, Top Rank, that he will fight again, and Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions have initiated talks to stage a Davis-Lomachenko unification bout, with November being the target month right now.

With Tank’s relationship with Mayweather being over, now is the opportunity to prove he isn’t just some manufactured, protected champion. It is a shame that it has taken this long for PBC to consider making this fight, when Lomachenko is entering his late 30s.

Here's the weigh-in,




Davis though is very trim in this fight, at 133 lbs. Are we going to see an upset tomorrow night?

I agree, it's about time that he really needs to step up and fight Shakur or Loma next. He has been protected by Floyd and since their relationship in the last couple of months turn sour, hopefully he can make up his mind and fight the best at 135 lbs.

This is the time of the year when Bitcoin's price may not follow the strategy or pattern as there are whales trying to pull it down by going against the tide as they would try to accumulate more before the actual bull run because by now Bitcoin should have crossed $73k but it has faced rejection multiple times. I think we just need to keep accumulating through DCA.
Absolutely right. I also think there may be some whales in the market who are trying their best to take their last bearish position before the bull run. But this is definitely another opportunity for investors running the DCA strategy even those who are ready to invest in a lump sum of bitcoins. DCA is the best strategy as a universal investment medium that is ideal and relatively simple for people of any income. Also prioritizing holdings that accumulate over the years to reach your desired point.
The institutions have always been the movers and ordinary traders dare not battle with them, but we have to align with their direction of flow to be relevant.
Talking about the issue of DCA, it is the most reliably proven way to accumulate bitcoin for a long term purposes. When you are sure of the market, strengthen your DCA; when you are not sure of the market continue with DCA, you have nothing much to lose but could gain on the long run.

I disagree though, I mean if there is going to be the prime mover here, it will be us, retail investors. We might be small, but for sure we have the numbers and we are the one making the market more liquid 24x7x365 days. So we shouldn't underestimate the average joe investors and traders here, IMHO.

For DCA, this practice or strategy has been developed for small traders, because obviously, we can't buy in bulk like those whales. So it just shows that the market is really for us and not that big investors, And we all have been speculating that this investors who have deeper pockets can manipulate the price but we can still swim with them no matter where they are going to go.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Akhmadaliev ordered by the WBA no later than September 25 on: June 14, 2024, 10:20:38 PM
This is another great fight, and if Inoue wins here, I think he already clean up the division, although there are just one name that is going to be a big question, it's John Riel Casimero of the Philippines.

This could have been delayed though, as the fight could have happen if not for Tapales upsetting Akhmadaliev, but at least it's not too late. And September will be perfect as there are reports that this could also in the card of Joshua vs Dubois in Middle East. But we will see if Inoue is willing to go out of his comfort zone and fight outside of Japan. And who can't refused the money that is going to be offered by HE Turki Alalshikh for Inoue just to go to Saudi and meet Akhmadaliev?
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 14, 2024, 09:55:31 PM
^^ That is going to be huge if they will have their new organization and maybe take out all the corruption with just one body. But I don't think that the governing body will approved it though. They might have to compete with them and it's up to the promoters like Matchroom, GBP and Top Rank and PBC on how they are going to help set up this big league from the Saudis.

And who can refuse it? With billions on their hand and the whole government behind HE Turki Alalshikh, for sure this can be done and done right. Probably this is going to happen in the next 2 years.

The plan is to buy out the whole boxing organization so it's very ambitious already, but we will see what will be the reaction of the governing bodies here. But yes, maybe they are going to be offered with huge money that they can't refuse. So here is another moved by them,



https://www.instagram.com/p/C8J9V4QCISU/

They make Crawford, Jarod Anderson and Hamza Sheeraz as their ambassador. So meaning this fighters are going to promote Saudi now.

239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 13, 2024, 11:49:24 PM
Boxing fans, are you surprised by this news?

Exclusive: Saudi wealth fund holding talks to create boxing league

Quote
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is in discussions with multiple boxing stakeholders to create a league, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of the sport, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
PIF is looking to invest in a joint venture with some of the sport's stakeholders that would feature more boxing bouts, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A handful of leading promoters including Matchroom Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions are involved in the discussions that could result in a deal valuing the new entity between $4-5 billion, one of the people said. PIF wants to create a venture that would bring the main sport's organisers together, in which it would take a minority stake, the person added.

So it's going to be a take-over from the Saudis, but it's obvious that this if forthcoming, I mean they have been holding a lot of big events already in the Middle East. So it's just a matter of time before they become the forefront of boxing.

And from the way I understood it, might be similar to UFC, wherein each weight class will only have 1 champion and unlike the current wherein it's a 4 body (WBC,WBO,IBF, WBA).

What is your thoughts on this?
