Looks like the camp of Inoue doesn't really have an interest with Casimero since if they really want to make this fight happen they negotiate this one before but looks like their match up will never happen. I don't know if Inoue's management stopping this to happen because they don't see anything beneficial to their fighter or maybe they just want to step up and doesn't want to get bother by him.

Inoue's camp is always welcome to any fights however it's on the Promoter as the last decision. No progress happened last year when Casimero and Inoue are exchanging talks that's why WBA stepped in and decided to assign Casimero to have a mandatory title defense with Paul Butler. And when that fight was canceled because of health issues by Casimero, Inoue now become not interested to fight him anymore as he was not 100% healthy.

Moving forward, the rematch of Inoue and Donaire is what I'm really looking forward to.

They have an unfinished business and this rematch will seal it all.

I still need lots of analysis before placing a bet although I already have some considerations.

Seems to me that Ginebra will take Game 2 but the handicap for Meralco is also eye-catchy. But more on, I will take Ginebra ML.

As usual, game-time decision before placing my bet. Hoping also for odds adjustment in favor of Ginebra to at least an additional @1 for their ML odds.
2203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 07, 2022, 11:53:06 PM
Just try to analyze the age difference,
Murata 36 years old
GGG 39 years old.

not much of a difference, right?

I have pointed this out before that's why I don't understand why age is a factor and considered a disadvantage for GGG. 3 years gap is really nothing. They are both already past their prime.

GGG is also around 35-36 years old when he fights Canelo in his super-prime status but still, the latter struggle to beat the sh*t out of GGG.

Like I always said, Murata's only advantage is the homecourt and the full support of Japan's people on his back. GGG is a tough wall to defeat and having a strong moral is not enough as an advantage.

Good timing to since magstart na ang playoffs at marami pang oras para mag-plano sa structure ng contest na sinimulan mo dati. Around 3-4 games remaining na lang sa season at ang Playoffs ay magsisimula sa April 16.

Ano man ang maisip mong game structure, follow lang ako dun. Count on me to support it.

Pokemon lover here! I have trading cards as well before (I don't know if that's genuine though as what matter is the collection Cheesy) from Generation I Kanto to Generation 3 Hoenn. But since adulting hits me and now faces the reality of life (lol), I was only able to follow Pokemon until Generation IV Sinnoh. My trading cards are now also nowhere to be found as we move house 3 times. Sad

I miss lurking at Bulbapedia and Serebii.net. Grin

2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 04, 2022, 11:25:45 PM
While for the winner, a hype in his name and much better rate when another defense is being offered. Let see if bookies are right siding to Spence base from how they place the odd.

It's not that bookies are siding with Spence. Odds are provided not based on how they looked at the fight but on how they compare the stats and impact of both boxers. Spence's boxing stats and experiences tell it all that he should be the Favorite to win the match. Somehow to take advantage of betting on Spence, bettors can risk some money by placing a bet on how Spence will win the fight.

My wild guess is:

Spence winning TKO in Rounds 5-7. I should expect an odds over @3.

No such betting options are yet available on my preferred sportsbook. Let's see if there will be any in the following days.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 04, 2022, 11:06:48 PM
I really do not wish to belittle Donaire's training commitment, hope and dreams or journey. All I am saying, Inoue is a bigger force than Donaire. The reason for that is simple. Commitment. Especially the commitment that Japanese are taught from a young age. Their very culture is based on strength of will and commitment.

Smalls signs show you the bigger picture. Donaire is getting tired of not reaching the top. It seems to me that he is running out of gas. I understand Donaire has dreams of being at the top. But its not going to happen with his level of determination and commitment.

If it boils down to the culture, you should not involve that in the topic since the discussion will never end. I think you are watching Hajime No Ippo and seems to me that it affects your view about Japanese Boxers in general as in that anime, the characters are purely dedicated to boxing since, after all, that's what the Anime is all about. Smiley

We can't judge someone's way of commitment. It's out of our line and we don't know anything about their inner self and the experience they went through. Clearly, you already judged the book by its cover. Let's focus on pre-game analysis purely about the match without involving that country's culture or any else. It doesn't have to do with this match.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 04, 2022, 10:59:44 PM

I just encounter an article stating that if Canelo Alvarez will lose this fight, it will immediately remove the possibility of him taking on Gennadiy Golovkin in a trilogy match on September 17th. It means the progress of the trilogy between Canelo and GGG is now in the process and the pre-requisite of it is Canelo winning against Bivol even though not mentioned, GGG should also win against Murata.

I don't mind GGG as I'm sure he can take Murata but Canelo has a big task as he's fighting against a fellow prime boxer and a champion too. Bivol also sees a chance by some analysts that he can upset Canelo thru the right timing.

Canelo vs. Bivol: What if Alvarez LOSES to Dmitry?

Interesting to read some comments there. Cheesy
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 04, 2022, 10:52:14 PM
Well, even the hall of fame promoter Bob Arum is up to Murata and feels that GGG will be beaten by his opponent, not to mention because of their age gap difference. However, GGG might still get the highest bet knowing how popular he is, but Murata would surely get some bets for those who still believed on his ability to beat GGG. We'll wait and see by then as both are champions in their own ways.

It's a trap bro, lol.

Anyways, there's not much age gap difference. GGG is just 4 years old ahead therefore Murata is also considered veteran age in boxing at 36 years old. It now depends on how they maintained their training regime throughout entering the post-prime age. GGG is around 35-36 years of age if I'm not mistaken when he fought the prime Canelo on their rematch and he is ahead around 8 years of age but look how he performed against the latter.

See the picture of why age is not a disadvantage for GGG? That explosiveness is still on his 4 years later.

On the betting side, the odds for GGG winning either Decision or TKO is a good pick. Better place your bet now as it might change while the fight is approaching.
2210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 04, 2022, 10:44:11 PM

The Lakers are sure goodbye now for the play-in chances.

They have lost 6 in a row. They have 4 games remaining which are against the Suns, Warriors, Thunder & Nuggets, and mandatorily and necessary, they have to win it all. And for let's say, the luck comes to them and wins it all, they also need the Spurs to lose 3 of their last 4 games against Nuggets, Timberwolves, Warriors & Mavericks. It means if the Lakers were able to do their best in their remaining games, they also have to expect the Spurs to lose their 3 remaining games which are beyond their control.

And if luck still comes to them and that scenario above happened, they will face the Pelicans in their first play-in which they lose previously on this team.

And if luck still comes to them and they beat the Pelicans, they will face either the Clippers or Timberwolves next to secure the 8th spot, and again, they are also struggling against this team.

And if luck still comes to them and they made it to the playoffs, Phoenix Suns are waiving for them.

The bottom line is, the Lakers need all the LUCK they can get to have a miracle. Cheesy

my max bet is BTC0.005 versus your BTC0.0035, or to make it simple, the odds is 1.70.

Shoot me a PM if you like the odds.

This is a good offer however I'm also with Ginebra's NSD. Not a pure fan but I can't see how Meralco will deal with Ginebra in a series match now that Brownlee has proven he's still turning into a beast mode and showing no signs of slowing down.

Here in our place, when there's no way or only a few likes to bet on the other team, especially in a Best-of-7 series match, they are adding another handicap for the Favorite team which is called +1 or +2 series. This is only offered when the team has a really low chance to beat their opponent based on what the majority thinks.

You can offer a +1 series and see if someone will accept your bet. To make it simple, Meralco just needs 3 wins over Ginebra's 4 wins and that bettor will win against you. The bet amount is 1:1, no odds or something but to increase the chances of someone taking your offer, consider sticking with your first offered odds or adjusting a bit in favor of you since giving a +1 series is already a big advantage for them.
2212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 04, 2022, 10:23:26 PM

Admit it, people might be rooting for the Phoenix Suns to win the championship this season because we all want Chris Paul to taste his first-ever Championship Ring and have a touch on the famous Larry O'Brien trophy (aside of course for those who really a fan of them). I actually looked forward to it last NBA Finals as I think that it might be his last chance to get the ring although my betting side picks Milwaukee Bucks in that Final series.

In this year's Finals, I'm also looking forward again to Chris Paul having his first championship but again, I really don't like to bet on the Phoenix Suns for personal preferences. That's the reason why we really have to make our own decision based on our analysis + feelings lol.

but when it comes to finals this year I am sure that they will not make a mistake this time around and win it all.

Honestly, there's no problem with their performance last year. It's just that Milwaukee Bucks did their best to win the Final series.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 04, 2022, 03:43:36 AM
the situation is just a coincidental which makes Bivol as the enemy in the eyes of people just because of the mere fact that he is Russian. Isn't that unfair? I think that's why they are considering to take this fight in Dubai because in that country, the people are neutral and have no beef on Bivol's nationality.

I don't think that's the situation today. People are not treating Bivol as the enemy. It's just that putting Bivol or any Russian athletes into something uncommon treatment (not a bad one) will put pressure on the Russian President as their sports representative and athletes are now affected.

Yes, it's 100% unfair to the Russian athletes as most of them are also against the ongoing conflict but most countries are doing their best to slow down Russia as this war is a sh*t and the conflict is just between the leader's pride and not country vs country.

Regardless of the venue, the fight will surely generate big revenue. Both boxers' names are big in the boxing industry and there will always be fans that will spend money to watch this fight. Champion vs Champion, it will be jampacked.
2214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 04, 2022, 03:30:35 AM
We can't be sure if ring rust doesn't affect a fighter even some of the greatest fighter have expecting this kind of effect, so we will have to see how Spence is in the start, maybe he will be sluggish or something and Ugas can take advantage of it. But I agree that it will be a big task even for Ugas to beat a version of Spence that has that ring rust. Because Spence can offset it with his boxing IQ and then when he feels that he has shaken the cobweb, he will make the fight very interesting.

First of all, how do you or others define "ring rust"? Spence doesn't have a fight for around 1 year and 4 months. On that span of period, does a boxer can considered having a ring rust even currently at his prime?

Take note also that Spence is supposed to fight last year, August 21 but got canceled. Therefore, Spence is actively training last year in the preparation for the fight against Manny Pacquiao. There's no way that "rust" will come easy since Spence is active always.

Ring rust shouldn't be involved in the discussion as there's no such thing as that.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 03, 2022, 11:58:02 PM
This fight might go to the decision, I reckon. However, the sportsbooks have not yet offered any odds for rounds betting, fight ending and round ranges. My only hope for this one is the sportsbooks are thinking something similar as much of the fans and speculate GGG will knockout Murata hehehe. This fight being in Japan is already head shaking.

My prediction aside from the Decision is that GGG winning a TKO within rounds 5-6. I will risk a bet there once the line is now available at my preferred sportsbook.

I don't consider GGG, even at that age, don't have that KO power. He still has that and since Murata is not within his league, he should possibly make that TKO win for a high chance. Murata I know will be on defensive style but still, there will be a moment that GGG can find a spot for a good shot that will make Murata being KO. GGG's experience was already full of different boxers with different styles. He knows to deal with everything.

I'm sure a TKO win for GGG will happen.
2216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 03, 2022, 11:52:31 PM
For some players that didn't have a chance or already passed by the spotlight here, they surely go for the B-league just for money but for some players that still young and choose to play there, I believe the reason is not for big offer salary only but rather to hone more there skills since foreign basketball is always good to develop further since they are already playing in the Philippines since they are college. It's not bad to play in foreign country since our PBA seems like not a National league but rather a basketball of 2 giant company.

The offer to play in B-league is not as easy as you think. I already mentioned before that even if there are PBA stars who will play in that league, PBA will still be PBA and it won't crash. It's not that there are many PBA players receiving offers to play in the Japanese B-league. Players need to be fully skilled and great before a scout can offer them to play an outside league.

Lots of our local players like to play in outside leagues, however, they don't meet the qualifications. Also take note that it's not only in PH where scouting is in progress, but also for other countries as well.
2217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 03, 2022, 11:47:28 PM
This will be another good and exciting fight as Donaire will show us once again his fast hand speed and punching power that could make the Monster a loser. However, Inoue with his incredible punching power and relentless body attack will always be optimistic that he can win this fight as this fight will give him an advantage because it will be happening in his onw home court.

Actually, Donaire can match Inoue's power punch and speed. We can refer to their first fight for that where even Donaire loses, he put Inoue on his maximum limit just for the Japanese monster to win the fight. What I'm thinking now is, since Inoue now knows how fierce and deadly Donaire is, he is much aware now what to do. We can expect a different Inoue on that match since he won't allow Donaire to give him more damage once they meet again.

On Donaire's side, there will be surely some adjustments as he already knows how Inoue performed in the ring. The damage he gives to Inoue might be his encouragement that if he can give that to the champion, he can repeat it at any cost and maybe get the win over him.
2218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 03, 2022, 11:43:04 PM
Was it really Butler who made a tweet? What I read is the tweet was coming from the team Butler but I don't see a tweet that would substantiate the alleged tweet. That rumor will eventually die because there was no proof, it's hard to speculate with proof.

It was from his camp therefore we can conclude it was also on Butler's mind. These guys might want to have an easy path to get the title as the chance of Casimero being stripped of his title is possible if ever there will be another delay again on Casimero's side. Since Butler is the number 1 challenger, he's the automatic candidate to fight for the vacant WBO title that was previously held by Casimero and the opponent that will be chosen is below his rank.

Anyways, I think we shouldn't focus on that tweet or anything since it's only a few sleep and the fight will now happen. We need to be positive and hope that Casimero won't have any problems for the second time in their upcoming weigh-in. Another failure, Casimero's belt is at stake.
2219  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: April 03, 2022, 11:34:51 PM
It's quite difficult to say and estimate why Stake insists on having the personal information of new customers on their site. I'm not sure, but it could have to do with the fact that the licensing commissions in Curacao have become quite strict and anonymous registrations are no longer allowed. We've seen this on multiple sites that you have to register your own leaving some personal information. The rules and procedures are getting stricter and stricter, unfortunately or perhaps good to see? Fraud becomes a lot more difficult that way.

It makes sense so we can leave it that way. Verification is now slowly hitting most crypto-related services. But on the bright side, it's just Phone Numbers that needs on that promotion and not a Full Know-Your-Customer verification that includes ID submission or anything, which won't likely be followed by most people.

Anyhow, if the user is not comfortable giving such details, then they can just easily ignore and not participate in the event. After all, Stake is not forcing any people to join any Drake's related giveaway. The users are the ones to adjust and not the platform will adjust for them. In any case, there are other promotions too that people can join in the future.

Too bad mate, the Jazz choke again after establishing a good lead against GSW. Not sure what the problem of the Jazz right now, but it seems that they are just a 2 quarter team right now. And then totally losing it in the last quarters. They are not down to 5th position in the Western conference though, so that is a consolation that they will go on the playoffs again.

I have full of regrets about that game. LOL.

I used to consider betting on Golden State Warriors during a live vet, regardless of the player's status, when they are always downed by 10+ since sometimes, they were able to get back on track. My usual bet during a live bet when they are downed was Moneyline and Winning the Game for a 10-11+ lead. The odds are really attractive, obviously.

Damn, I hesitate because that's Utah Jazz and knowing them, when they are in lead for over 15-20+ points, chances of beating this team are very low. Better luck next time.
