2201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 14, 2022, 02:42:08 PM
Who would think of ENTERTAINMENT in the time of War. When people are running for the sake of their lives, people like us  still care from entertainment? I wish we must support humanity during this time of War. YEsterday it was Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Serya Today its Ukraine tomorrow it will be another country. I am very sure this match will not happen and there is a planned drama going on behind. But let's see how this roll. May the best decision are made.

Youre right. There is a chance of it not going to happen because Bivol is a Russian and most probably sponsors of the event or probably DAZN are also boycotting Russians. We see many sports events already are canceling Russian teams so this one might also be postponed indefinitely. The athletes have nothing to do with the war but yes they are among that is sanctioned here. We use to hate Racism but seem we like doing it as well.

While this could really be a good fight to watch, it also shows the other side of how worse humanity is.

As of now, the scheduled fight between Canelo and Bivol will still continue amidst the crisis and criticism against the Russian Federation. The fight was scheduled this May so while the boxers are preparing for the fight, both camps have still time to work with the legalities and appealing the bodies to let this fight happen without any sanctions.
I definitely doubt that sponsors will back out, this event is a big one and I don't think they want to lose some good money as for them boxing is still a business.

https://www.gamblingsites.org/news/has-date-change-affected-odds-golovkin-vs-murata/
Quote
Golovkin is listed as the -700 favorite in this fight
That's how heavy favorites he is.
It seems like many people think Murata doesn't even have chance to beat GGG, this similar like Pacquaio was heavy favorited compared to Ugas. Watching the previous Murata's fight, he have though chin and power punch but he's slow. This is another test for matured GGG, does he's faster than Murata or not. GGG might lose if he's slower than before, I believe the fight will last for 12 rounds .

I also noticed about that, I think they are really underestimating this Japanese boxer against GGG. Well honestly, I cannot deny that I also hope that GGG will win on this fight and that he's still the GGG we really know but I can't even assure it myself because Murata is not an ordinary boxer and he have some chance to stand against GGG who's now quite matured.
2203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 14, 2022, 01:39:56 PM

As for me, I lost the bet because spread was -3.5 for me and the Nets haven't covered it well, I'm just a point shy from that bet though Grin

Things like that happen, better luck next time, maybe you'll get it right. Nets spread was really tempting, but it turns out a trap for those who took the point spread. Well, maybe next time they'll cover if Irving would play as we can see Durant alone cannot make his team dominate their opponent.

I don't think it's a trap, it that point spread is double digit, then yeah it could be. But -3.5 is really doable. It's that the break of the game didn't favor for the Nets to win big.

Durant has a big game, but the Knicks keeps the game alive and very close up to the final seconds. There is no garbage time, but we can go back to the next game and win.

It's a trap for the Nets because bettors thought that they'll win and would easily cover the spread, but the result was different, Nets won but did not cover the spread. I call it a trap because I have that kind of bet before thinking my team would easily cover but they fail and some even lose in the game.

Maybe if it was -10.5, the people would hesitate on taking but in that situation, the favorites would cover most of the time especially a team that could also compete with them.

We can only tell that it's a trap to whatever team we are betting or betting against after the game. No one knows the outcome of the game so we cannot assure that a line is a trap, it's just our own analysis but at the end of the game, we still can be wrong or right.

If only we are just selecting what team would win without any spread, then it is somehow simple but since a spread is there so an outcome is quite unsure, and there's no such thing as trap. We only invented that one Cheesy

Anyways, these are my bets for tomorrow:
* Nuggets vs Sixers -5.0
* Hornets -7.5 vs Thunder
* Bucks -1.5 vs Jazz

Even if, but I doubt they will. Other teams are playing harder than them to avoid the play-in. But because of the lack of star players, they will try to just squeeze themselves to make it at the playoffs which means they won't give the Lakers a smooth road.


At this point, it looks like there's no hope for the Lakers to even past the round 1 if ever they are lucky to qualify in the playoffs. Lebron alone cannot carry the team on his shoulder, everyone has to contribute and there's no time because they could not find their chemistry.

They got used to playing Davis as their scorer inside but he was injured so they have to stick on a different play.
Problem is, Westbrook is not himself anymore, I mean a triple-double player like he was before was not seen anymore on the present Westbrook.
2205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 14, 2022, 11:09:45 AM
^^Right, that's what I'm trying to say, Casimero should take this fight lightly or not to think about the possible money he has to make if he was given the chance to fight thte monster. For now his fellow Filipino will have the job to beat the Inoue. All he can do is wait for the result, concentrate of Butler, crack him score a knock out and let his win propel him to Inoue.

That is exactly what he needs right now since he was kinda spoiled his last fight and trying to be cool in this one and it didn't work well that's why the fight has now been delayed. Thankfully Donaire took that chance and give him enough space to concentrate on this one. He really needs to put everything to win this fight and work hard for K.O Butler because that would be his ultimate ticket if Donaire lost the fight with Inoue.

Not really understand what you mean by spoiled in his last fight. But Casimero might be trying to portray himself as a trash talker, maybe that's what he wanted, emulate American style of boxing, but for Asians it doesn't work at least not for Manny Pacquiao and it won't work for fighting another Asian, Inoue. So he should keep his spirit by training hard, directed all of his attention to Butler.

Exactly, he cannot even speak English fluently and yet he trash talk, maybe to be more effective, he just speaks on his dialect and hires an interpreter. Action speaks louder than words, that should be the kind of style every Filipino boxer has to do, they should just follow Manny,  win fights and impress the fans and big fights will certainly come after.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 13, 2022, 03:41:01 PM
Here's my early pick:

Game : 76ers vs Magic.

After losing to the Nets by 29 points, I believe the 76ers are going to bounce back pretty strong, so I have to back them with the spread provided by the bookies. Harden and Embiid are going to play, so no problem with winning, therefore my pick is 76ers -11.5. GL!
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez 130-pound Title Unification Fight on: March 13, 2022, 02:28:44 PM
Yes, at least the fight has been made by Arum and didn't wait for Valdez to have another tune up fight before going after Shakur. And it just so happen that they are under Bob Arum that's why there are no boxing politics so fans are going to see another great fight early this year.
I agree this should be a great fight as both fighters are in their prime, it's the best of the best and I'm expecting it will be a bloody fight knowing Valdez who's very aggressive and would always go for the knockout. 23 KOs means he is a tough fighter, and not losing a single fight in his career is something especial for a boxer who is never afraid to face anyone that will be put in front of him.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 13, 2022, 01:32:59 PM
Exactly! Canelo is already used to fight across different divisions, and he is definitely not a beginner in this division. Well except the CW because his fight against Ilunga Makabu did not materialized. Canelo and his team are smart, they certainly won't risk Canelo's career if the chances are slim against Dmitry Bivol and don't forget that Eddie Hearn himself is the brain in this agreement so probably this is a cherry pick before he will face GGG.

Though he knocked out Sergey Kovolev, that was not an easy work for Canelo. Its just that Kovolev gassed out on that fight thus resulted in him being knocked out in the eleventh round. The point here is that Canelo will be having some trouble in the light heavyweight division and Demetry Bivol is not a pushover or we can say that he is not like Kovolev and with that being said, this is going to be a very interesting and exciting fight for Canelo.

Canelo will be facing a bigger fighter, though it's not new to him it's still good to watch a fight that Canelo is not going to dominate every round for sure. I still think that Canelo would win, but I do not think it's an easy one for him, I just love Canelo because of his work in the ring, he is very discipline until he finds an opening to hurt his opening, also his stamina is very impressive.
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 13, 2022, 01:00:33 PM
Good game by Klay and after the game he is very emotional because he has somewhat on a slump since coming back from the injuries.
Klay got his best game so far since his comeback, I'm happy for him, now that the playoffs are coming, it's the time that we need Klay more to be consistent and produce this kind of performance in the game. Beating the Bucks is a huge one, they are the defending champion so I can say that the Warriors really have a shot to win in the NBA Finals this season.
2210  Economy / Economics / Re: Donate to Ukraine on: March 12, 2022, 03:58:04 PM
The presence of cryptocurrencies makes it easy to donate, there is no need for a bank network which of course cannot operate, especially since many countries limit transfers to banks in countries that are at war, namely Russia and Ukraine, but I hope that donations to Ukraine should never be used for scams because I saw in many telegram groups asking for donations for ukraine.
Thanks to cryptocurrencies. However, as more donations for Ukraine are coming on its way, smart scammers are also starting to be rampant. So don't just send to any random wallet addresses that are posted asking for donations for Ukraine because for sure it would go to the hands of scammers. Verify them first. Look for the official statements made by their government officials. Well, anyone can make donations regardless of the amount, be it big or small, it will do a lot for them. As long as all the donations are going in its right place, then it will be a very big help for all the victims in a war.
2211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 12, 2022, 01:22:24 PM


yes it is, it ryan's camp (oscar is his promoter) who chose this fight, hence, cherry picking. though it is considered cherry picked, still garcia needs to prepare well on this fight. another stepping stone but doesn't need to be taken for granted.
a lot are betting on garcia here no doubt. if you want to take more risk on your bets, check the other betting lines for this fight.


Yes, you're right things got bad after the fight with Campbell, now what I didn't know was that Oscar de la Hoya was still in action? I haven't heard from him for a long time, I thought he had retired from boxing, although he was an outstanding boxer, if they didn't choose him, it means that he still doesn't have a sufficient level to start, I think we could say that Oscar de la Hoya it would be one of the secret letters that are still out there from the old school.
Oscar is still in the boxing promotion, his Golden Boy promotions is one of the top in boxing today even though he has lost Canelo already. Yes, it could be a disaster for Ryan if he losses to Campbell that time, but he won and his stock goes up because he proves that he can get up from the canvass and finished his fight with a knock out. But as we all have known by now, he admitted that he has a mental issues. So coming back and fighting someone who is not known could be just a test how Ryan's mentality is. If he can still fight and hungry and motivated.
I hope he is fine now, he come back from a long layoff, so I expect that he is 100% ready.

This is not a big fight for him but a good fight for his comeback, however, I don't think his opponent is better than Campbell, so I hope we will still see an entertaining fight with Ryan Garcia being the winner, otherwise people will think that his mental issue is really serious and affecting his fight.
2212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 12, 2022, 12:41:02 PM
I'm not worried about the chances of Casimero but I'm worried if his opponent could really go toe to toe against him although his history tells that he is an aggressive fighter. IIRC, Butler was once a champion, so he is not a boring fighter, and watching his fight highlights, I saw that he wants war inside the ring.

Unlike Rigo, Butler is different. He is a close fighter.

The only time he will run or mostly stay away from Casimero is if he feels he's already at disadvantage or he realized that he can't handle Quadro Alas at close combat. On the early rounds, we should see Butler going toe to toe as part of testing his strategy. While the fight progress and stamina is decreasing, he will realized if going in close fight is still an effective way.

All of that, we will see on the boxing day. Speculation is what we can only provide now.

He might think of that once he gets hurt, however, he is not as fast as Rigo, so most likely Casimero would still be able to hurt him and might probably knock him out. In that scenario, I guess if the other champions is really up to the challenge, they should fight with Casimero without hesitation.
2213  Economy / Economics / Re: Never expect you to be rich without investment on: March 11, 2022, 08:38:31 PM
Having a single source of income will not make a person rich  unless this person earn a monthly income of million worth but if not or just an ordinary people let's yes earning big but having no other streamline of income will definitely far from reality to become rich. And yes, investment is one of the way to become rich, well not just investment in cryptocurrency but in any kind of investment like real estate, stocks, bonds etc. A rich person his money works for not he is work for money and that's the mindset of a wealthy people.
There is an interesting quote to read which reads "If your salary is your only source of income, then you are only one step away from poverty". If I'm not mistaken, that's one of Warren Buffet's suggestions. Investment is also not always about wealth but some other things like passive income is the goal. I think there are many other reasons why a person should invest even if it is only 10% of his salary because relying on salary to survive is not a smart choice.

But everything seems not as easy as it sounds because investing is a risky choice for those who are not knowledgeable. It is easier for them to invest in gold and keep it for years compared to digital assets like bitcoin. But if they are really interested in investing in crypto then at least they must have 3 things, have clear goals, understand investment risks and how to minimize losses.
Certainly, having an investment has its own risk, either to make you rich, or to make you even poorer. But if you start learning how to come up with right investments, particularly crypto, that is one step ahead to make your goal reached. However, most of the average earners today are afraid to invest because it needs a good amount to start it and yet, it could still lead to losses. If this is the mindset of an investor, this will really not work. Investments need more patience and positive outlook, if we can't give it, then we will never be profitable from our own investments.
I guess investment alone will not make you rich, it takes more of you as a person to succeed in an investment. Investment has always been a win and loss scenario, that is why it needs more of a potential investor to make it work. Potential means that you are capable to set your target goal, you have a good knowledge to make it grow, creates right decision, has a lot of patience and has risk aversion. If you can possibly have all that, then you will have high probability to make your investment succeed.
2214  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is the price of BTC dropping? on: March 10, 2022, 09:58:26 PM
I wouldn't worry so much about the current bitcoin price. Right now BTC is at 39,000 USD, which seems quite healthy in my opinion given the current state of the world. You are comparing the price to the ATHs from last year, but the world has changed since. We are facing a major conflict with the Russia-Ukraine war, also inflation rates are rising compared to last year. Even before the Ukraine war the bitcoin price was lower than it is today. No reason to panic as long bitcoins manages to withstand all that downward pressure. In Europe for example the Russia sanctions are going to hurt the economies. Already now we see a double of the fuel prices in two weeks. This is going to increase inflation even more. It's just a matter for the world to go back to normality and for bitcoins to rise again.
Unfortunately people see every little thing as a chance to go up, and every big thing to see it go down. That is one of the main reasons why people are shocked to see the price go down most of the time. War obviously impacted it badly, but we saw it go up during war as well, which is a proof that we should not be really someone who gets in panic mode, or care about FUDs or FOMOs and just stick to a plan.

I know it is not really that easy, but it is also not so impossible neither. It can be done and we can definitely do it. All we have to do is do not care when ti is 39k, and do not care when it is 42k, if we keep guessing the direction and when it will stop going that direction all the time, it will hurt us.
Just don't often check the market so you won't panic. Expect that as this war continues, inflation too will be more uncontrolled, which makes the crypto market too doom to decrease its market value. Just stay calm and hold your bitcoin. When the market gets normal, everything will fall into its right place and we can see bitcoin price to increase again.

2216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: March 07, 2022, 09:24:48 PM
As for Logan Paul, he for sure have earned enough by simply making fuss around a possible fight with Mike Tyson, so he should be happy.
It only proves one thing.

That whatever Logan wants to put in hype, he'll make sure that it will be on hype just as this fight that won't happen anymore.

Respect for the likes of Mike Tyson and whatever he wanted to do should be supported and from his retirement, he should be good and do the things that he like at his age that's no longer related on fighting including him on the ring.

He is already popular so he can have a fight and make money.

However, fighting Mike Tyson could be dangerous for him and I cannot understand why it takes too long before Mike Tyson confirm that the fight will not happen or there will be no fight between them, so I have a feeling that they have gone into an initial negotiation and eventually did not agree on the terms.

Sixers vs. Bulls

It looks like Harden will return to play that's why Sixers are the favorite in this game. For Bulls, Ball and Caruso are still out while Vucecic will be assessed.

Odds are good but the game seems tricky to me. It could be closer than what it appears. Nevertheless, I'm taking Sixers -7.5 @2.03



Good luck, I guess I'll just look for another game to bet on, I love this game but I cannot underestimate the desperate Bulls, they might lose but could cover the spread and at the same time, it's also possible that the Sixers will just dominate this undermanned team.

Instead, I'm going for the Dallas Mavericks against the Utah Jazz, Dallas being the home team and they are also on a winning streak, which makes me more confident on putting my money on them, therefore my pick is Dallas -2.5.
2218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 07, 2022, 12:45:55 PM
Its a must for him to set aside his personal problem and focus on this fight. Its been delayed for months already due to his health issue so this time he needs to give his best to defend his title.
if this issue distracts him from his training and his fight it could cause him to lose his title belt and probably his chance of fighting Inoue. it would be a shame if that happened.
It will distract him if he is guilty, if not them he would not mind it as he is confident he will win the case.

That will have an effect on his preparations. Schedules of the hearing might be a waste of time for his fight preparations, either he's supposed to be training or resting during that day. This will not only cause him physical distractions, but mentally as well.
It doesn't mean that you are falsely accused and you're automatically confident because you can win it. Court trials are tricky af. You could be jailed and pay for some moral damages if your lawyer failed to defend your case.

He has to face that challenge, but if he is really trained well, there should be no problem during the fight night. The problem is already their, facing it is the only solution, besides, if he wins this case, he could counter the lawsuit to clean his name and let the accuser pay for the damages done to his reputation.
2219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 07, 2022, 11:04:30 AM
You have to understand that he is still a rookie, and therefore he is bound to make mistakes and this first season is his learning experience. He should be better in the next season if the Rockets would still give him a chance to play more minutes. Green maybe not delivering our expectation, first the favorite in the dunk contest, and he lose, and it looks like he would also not gonna win the ROY.
Yes, I agree. Green has a lot of room for improving and he is just starting that. Gaining experience and soon the consistency will be there.
Rockets is actually a strong team but they are young, prone to mistakes and bad choices during game time. I wish Rockets management will build on their trio, KPJ, Sengun, and Green. Let them have their chemistry and not trade them for anyone.
That lineup is not enough to be a championship team, or a playoff team, just my personal opinion though, but I think they need a real all star to join them and lead the team. This team is used to be a good team, they had Harden, it was a playoff team but later Harden was traded, and WB as well.

So not much expectation for the team now, but let's see how the management will experiment to improve the team next season.

Don't make a quick judgment yet, who knows, they might surprise us and be in the playoffs next season, at least getting in the playoffs is already a big success of this team that does not have many high-paid players. If there's still room for their salary cap, maybe they can just add some players without letting go of the role players of the team and the starters.

Right, even Binance doesn’t allow to use multiple account at the same time from the same ip. So there are no way to think they will be tolerate if who using fake information. Undoubtedly for that Binance will go to restrict for such users accounts due to violating their rules and regulation. I think who have make sense then will never use false things in KYC.
People can request for sub account if they meet the requirement, I have not bothered about this before though. But I have not noticed on binance that two accounts with one ID verification can not be verified, but this will not even make any sense, better to go for sub account which binance made difficult other than many other exchanges that you can open sub account easily. Using false KYC will be highly inappropriate but the OP is not talking about using fake KYC but some people can go to the extent of using fake KYC and this will lead to freezing of account if known.
Right, it sound is ridiculous like two accounts will be verify by one identity, there are no exchanges will be allow that's pretty sure. And it might be difficult to audit for the exchanges i think.   Personally i don’t agree for sub account in Binance or others exchanges. Even i can't imagine to using something fake on KYC verification, Where the account is most likely to be suspended.
Why are you talking of a sub-account? I don't think it's possible when there's a KYC requirement, one account is for one KYC, even in the bank, you cannot open 2 same accounts under the same name because they only required one KYC document or verification for every client.

For a gambling site that is regulated by the government, for sure there's no difference from the requirement of exchanges in terms of KYC verification.
