2241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: February 05, 2022, 03:12:44 PM
Any fresh update about the fight? Since we are now entering the 2nd month of 1st Quarter, at least we should now see any update on this fight.

Based on my own research, Japan is still restricting boxing event. I like to see Murata fighting GGG at his homecourt. Hope the situation will get better as GGG is now aging and needs to fight now. His time is running out for more possible good fight in the future.

Japan Government Eyes Relaxing Border Controls
Japan will unveil relaxed border control measures as soon as next week, broadcaster TBS reported, an indication it’s ready to roll back some of the strictest restrictions in the developed world after they failed to contain the spread of the omicron variant.

This article was published yesterday, seems they will allow foreign entities this month as Japan will start to ease their restrictions next week. This could be the news we are waiting guys, hopefully there will be some updates this month about the fight too because GGG can't wait that long enough if indeed the rumors were true that the fight could go as long as 2nd quarter this year.

Wow, finally! Thanks for sharing that information mate. Well at least now we are getting some positive updates on Japan's border restriction, I also read somewhere that Japan will also start accepting tourists and other leisure activities by March (no specific date yet).

Yes hopefully they will release some updates about the fight too because this is one of the most awaited fight but sadly it was postponed due to the omnicron variant. I could really feel that GGG is already burning and cannot wait to fight Murata soon, anyways I'm optimistic that we will receive some new updates about the schedule.

44th career triple-double. That kind of stats is surely a game-winner.

Might be on 50+ now as there are lots of games where Luka is just shy away with a few numbers for a triple-double.

15 assists is an insane performance while at the same time, being a scoring machine. And even I like to disregard his 13 rebounds, hey he was a PG lol. The best thing on that is, there was no attempt to get that stats. Luka just goes with the flow and lets his performance do the work.

Are you talking about Westbrook here? Lol, the MVP Westbrook was full of stat padding, Luka just enjoyed the game and let his teammate enjoy the flow as well. Dallas has been playing real basketball, but they need some killer instinct so they'll be tougher in the playoffs, not allowing a team to come back again and beat them.

I don't understand why it leads to Russell Westbrook hehe. No, it was obviously Luka Doncic.

I watched the game highlights that's why I concluded that Luka was just on his usual rhythm without realizing that he will establish another triple-double.

With that performance, Luka is now in the Top 10 on the league's records for Triple-Doubles leaders.

The one of the best things about Luka, he's just doing what he thinks the best for the team and doesn't even realized that he's dominating at it. Also, he's not so thirsty about the stats and records that he could pull of, such a humble big man. He's a real asset to the team with an average of 25 PPG.
2243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: February 05, 2022, 08:10:11 AM
As I've  said, ring rust might be a big factor here that Keith Thurman won't be able to KO a taller Barrios.

I agree with you. Even Thurman is a former world champion, inactivity in the ring for several years is really a problem. Even Thurman is expected to do again the performance he used on working before, he might have a tough time to get back in shape.

But even with a rusty performance, Thurman to win by Knock Out between Rounds 8-9 seems a good bet.

Almost 3 years without a professional fight after his loss, after his inactivity, it's been already expected that he will atleast experience ring rust but I know that he and his team are training him hard around the clock to somehow minimize that effect.

Considering that factor alone, he's expected to fight slowly to moderate within the first few rounds in the ring. A win via decision is a safer bet.

Exactly! That's the reason why basketball is played by 5 players per team, it's really hard for them to win every game when the other players are very reliant and doesn't contribute well.

I was about to say the same thing mate that the Nets does have a similar situation with the Lakers now Grin Frankly, they should really work things out and figure what they lack if they want to play atleast in the playoffs. They won't go far if they continue these kinds of play.

Nets have the numbers who can really step up and help, but like Lakers chemistry is also something with the Nets.

Coach needs to blend them well now while KD is out, Harden and Kyrie, with Griffin Mills and Aldridge good enough to my
opinion.

Else, they will be ending this season much earlier. The teams from the east are improving. They have to work and find the
best solutions and start winning games again..

It's also the same case about the Lakers too, they have the numbers who can really step up but the problem is, both teams aren't consistent anymore and rely heavily on their superstars and they should also work on the rhythm. While LeBron James is still resting, the Lakers still have AD, Monk, WB, Carmelo and Howard left who can play if they're really under pressure but as I said, they're inconsistent.

In Westbrook's case, I'm afraid he's having the same situation like Ben Simmons who don't know how to shoot anymore.
2245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 03, 2022, 04:55:13 PM
I have started seeing Nets' chance for being the champions lower than before from now on. Because there is a very visible drop in their performance and the losing streak is getting bigger by each one of their games recently. Nets weren't this bad actually but something is really odd about them these days. Whatever the problem is, they need to solve it before the playoffs. Otherwise, we might not even see them in the conference finals. And this would be a big disappointment for the Nets fans and people who have big expectations from them.
KD is out for weeks and the team can't be carried by Kyrie or Harden. The thing with them is that they are totally reliant with their big 3 and if one is absent, then it's hard for them to take a win.

Although others have been stepping up, but it seems that is not enough. Blake is old and way past his prime, and so is LA. Only Claxton and Mills are really there, but they too are inconsistent. Maybe they can still make it to the playoffs, but it will be very difficult for them to be the Eastern champs.

They can't win without the support of the other role players.

I see the Nets now in a similar situation with the Lakers, they are also struggling when AD was injured and now the same thing happens when Lebron was not playing. These two teams (Lakers and Nets) were supposed to be the favorites to win the championship this season, but it seems like their struggle is real.

Exactly! That's the reason why basketball is played by 5 players per team, it's really hard for them to win every game when the other players are very reliant and doesn't contribute well.

As for me, I'll go for the Grizzlies -3.5 against the NY Knicks and I'm pretty confident that they would bounce back after their lost yesterday and defeat the Knicks on the road.

Nice bet! Congratulations @Mirakal and everyone who put their bets on the Grizzlies, spread was definitely covered as Grizzlies devastated the NY Knicks today on their own homecourt. Though, Morant and Bane didn't really played as expected today and only scored way lower than they played on their last 5 games but atleast they've won and Jackson also contributed well.
2247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 02, 2022, 05:05:35 PM
What a game! 76ers beat the Memphis Grizzlies in OT successfully without Embiid and stopped Ja Morant from doing his thing and I think it was the best defensive play I've ever seen in the NBA. Though he managed to pass the ball to his teammate, the shot was not successful forced a turned over and the 76ers closed the game with 3 points lead and +2 points in a buzzer-beater.

Tyrese Maxey played amazing!
It was a good match to watch for everyone. Sorry for the Grizzlies fans, it must be sad to lose the game after such a good game. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane had a combined total of over 70 points. But it wasn't enough to win.
We couldn't watch Joel Embiid in this game, but we didn't need it Cheesy Philadelphia took the court with an incredible performance. Thanks to Drummund, Maxey and Harris we watched a very good game
I think that the Sixers already find a good point guard that will be a perfect for the team Smiley.

Just develop Maxey and trade Simmons. They don't need him. They need a PG that will be a good addition to the team and that is Maxey. That last play really is the game changer. That defensive play really saved the 76ers. Well for the Grizzlies fans out there, your team is playing well and most likely will enter the playoffs with at least in the top 4 (maybe). For Drummond, TBH I thought that he isn't a good fit for the team for some reasons but now I think that he has a contribution in every game and he is given more minutes than usual now that Embiid is out in some games.

The 76ers should let Ben Simmons go as it's not really healthy for the team anymore, it's time to put an end on the drama. Infact, they should focus more to help Maxey to be consisted in every game and find the rhythm among his teammates. I'm glad to see that Maxey made an impressive 33 points with 8 assists, indeed they made a good decision to make Maxey a part of the roster and his stats are also improving.

Steph Curry is out tonight in San Antonio. Sitting on the second night of a back-to-back. Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, James Wiseman. Skeleton crew.

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news but the Warriors are sitting out Curry today. Never go early with those player props, that free bet gone to waste now.

Damn! I should have known better, I was really skeptical about betting early which was why I only went with players that I was pretty sure were okay.

That's 2 mBtc what of freebet down the drain  Sad

Fortunately, your bet wasn't a waste as the Warriors have won and covered the spread too Cheesy
I gotta confess that I also got nervous when I read that Curry, KT and Wiggins won't be playing the game against the Spurs because I also betted much earlier but thankfully these young bench fellas saved the day especially J. Poole.

PS. No more early bets Cheesy

It's important that you have to be careful in putting your bets especially if we are talking of a decent amount here. It was not announce early that they will not play, but despite of that, those who bet on the Warriors by mistake are still lucky because the Warriors still won the game.

Yup, lesson learned mate! It was my bad after all because I was very busy yesterday so I just took a few minutes to bet ahead on whoever team I might be interested and that's the GSW vs Spurs. Nobody was really expecting tho that their heavy players will sit in this game Grin

Moving on, there will be a lot of interesting games tomorrow so take your bets everyone. As for me, I'll go for the Grizzlies -3.5 against the NY Knicks and I'm pretty confident that they would bounce back after their lost yesterday and defeat the Knicks on the road.

I'll tail you on that one mate @Mirakal, I also believe that they can and will bounce back after they lost against the 76ers.
2249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 02, 2022, 12:53:56 PM

The win against Butler might trigger the interest of Inoue again to fight Casimero. If he stays healthy throughout, we can still see him facing Naoya Inoue. I don't think Inoue is avoiding Casimero. There's just another big opportunity for him instead of facing Casimero. Not unless Casimero will be able to win all his upcoming fights until they negotiate a match again with Inoue.

The case if Casimero will win against Butler though I believe that Casimero really has the edge to win this fight but the last time event that happened that made a scenario where the fight was postponed was the main concern here especially boxing fans. I would not doubt that if ever he win this fight the probability that Inoue vs. Casimero will going to happen in future however this time I believe that Casimero should focus on this fight and aim to win the fight either via knockout or UD.

Yeah, boxing fans are already hype about this fight specially that Casimero has been calling Inoue months ago. So if he wins  and then call Inoue again, for sure there could be more hype and that's what the camp of Inoue wanted so that it will bring more money in the table. And hopefully this will take place this year, so that finally we can see this two hard hitting fighters brawling it out.

Casimero might be tired of calling Inoue if Inoue will not respond as expected. He could choose to fight Donaire for a rematch and a unification fight and dodge away Casimero, you know, this guy is clever as well, he will ensure that he will be able to maintain his undefeated record as for now, he is the cash cow of Bob.

There's really no use if Casimero will keep calling or provoking Inoue's team because Bob Arum of Top Rank Promotions is ain't interested as well, and yes you're right @Sled that Inoue is also one of Bob's cash cow so it's only natural that they will find another engagement that could actually generate them much more income because at the end of the day, it's business as usual.

Experts have different opinions IMO, they are not all bullish or bearish, however, most experts just ride on the current situation, they ride more when the market is bullish because they will make money when the market is bullish, especially those who have plenty of followers on their streaming platform.

The best thing to do is just follow the trend, just check the history and if it suggests that we will remain in a bear market, we should not contradict our belief as the trend will always be followed no matter how unpredictable bitcoin's price is.

Is there any site to see the odds already? or still waiting since April might not still be the final date?

I don't see a site having the odds yet, maybe it's still too early to ask for the betting odds, they are not as popular as the biggest names in the sports of boxing, so we have to be more patient to wait until the odds are out.

From what I read, Casimero here is the heavy favorites, more like a .
Quote

Casimero is a huge betting favorite for this weekend’s bout against Butler with odds ranging from -2000 to -3400. These are the largest his odds have been in at least six years.
https://www.gamblingsites.org/blog/john-riel-casimero-vs-paul-butler-prop-bets-winner/
Let’s see if the odds will change once the match is getting near, I’m now hesitant to place some bet if the odds are like this, I don’t think its worth to bet if ever. There’s plenty of time to list this match on the site, I hope to see many options since Casimero is a great boxer and this match might attract bigger site.

The odds are not final yet, we can only say it's official once it's already listed in the sportsbook, for now, consider that odds are just a prediction and since the fight is in Butler's country, then most likely he would not be like that but I still think that Casimero would be the favorite.
2253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 30, 2022, 04:28:07 PM
Warriors and Suns are doing great. We are witnessing how they continue dominating the West.

But we are still far from the finals and there are many games that every teams have to take, we also don't know about possible
injuries that may affect the performances of every team.

There's no doubt that the Warriors and Sun could play in the upcoming playoffs or even in the Finals as they're just like bullying the other teams and they're so dominant in the West including the Grizzlies. But there are some factors to see like entering the health and safety protocols or injury in the middle of playoffs could make them vulnerable, so being safe and healthy is the only assurance to be in the Finals.
Aside from that, the teams in the East is also a threat to the West especially the Bucks, Heat and Nets.

Moving on, I'll go for Jazz @ +1 because I'm pretty confident that they would bounce back in this game and defeat the Timberwolves on their own home after losing 4 games in a row, though Mitchell is still questionable if he could play tomorrow. Also, I would add and take Hornets @ -6 against the Clippers as they're still more vulnerable now. Goodluck!

I'll tail you on the Hornets bet mate as I'm also quite positive too that they could cover that -6 spread and defeat the Clippers as PG is still out due to some existing injury.

I will just let the Jazz slide for now as the line is too pretty and Mitchell is still questionable tomorrow and that could likely be an advantage to the Timberwolves.
2255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 30, 2022, 03:40:19 PM

I doubt he'll ruin his name and career by not showing up for this fight. I know there are rumors regarding him faking the illness but if the WBO confirmed the evidence he showed, I believe that he was not faking his Illness.

It's not fake, it's real, otherwise, he will go to jail or will lose his license. Casimero has proven not feeling well that time so he was not stripped with this belt, for the 2nd time, he is given another chance to defend his title and I'm sure he will do just find and beat his challenger.

Casimero is on his way making his name to be more famous in the industry and I don't actually believe that he will do that because surely Casimero himself know what would be the outcome if he suddenly decides not to show up and it's just a rumor that he's just faking his illness that's why he was hospitalized but there's some videos in the youtube that can vouch his actions.

If I'm not mistaken, Casimero has history of having problems making the weight.

But I think this time there will be no slippage, because he knows that once he failed to show up or missed the weight in scale he will be strip of the belt on the fight night itself. So his team should really be careful of what he eat. Although there are still months before the actual fight. They should at least manage his weight by now, as early as they can so that there will be no cramping and huge drop in weight days before the fight because it will put a lot of strain in the body.

He better be in good shape and show up in the scheduled weigh-in because either way it's a bad news for him as it would really take a toll on his career. But I think this fight will happen April 23, right? So, he still have some few months left but there's no need to rush and should focus more in training if he truly wants to defeat Butler. He should take this very seriously tho.
2256  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prediction: Low was $34K or will be ~$25K on: January 30, 2022, 12:30:01 PM
I think that's too much for the next support which is 25k.. Because indeed the price still holding at the previous support wherein approximately 37k and seems stable in my views. And the market is gradually showing green at this point as well so perhaps its impossible to happen wherein unless if there's another negative news that can impact the market because surely there will be a new level on this situation in my personal opinion.

I would not be surprised if bitcoin will hit $25k, it happened in the past, so it's possible it will happen again. Compared the last bull run and then correction afterwards, I think the current price is still not too low, IMO, if there's more panic which could possibly happen due to whales manipulating the market, bitcoin could even hit below $20k IMO.

I have a question dude, why are you asking this question anyway? And about mixers on Binance, as far as I know, it doesn't have any mixers

So it's not gonna be the 1st week of February but on the 2nd week, regardless, at least it doesn't take too long before the PBA will resume and we can see some live actions soon. There's no crowd, it's understandable, what matters is PBA will be back soon.

But isn't it final already that they will resume next month on the 1st week?

No import, I think it's not exciting, however, I would just accept it as it's better to have that than no PBA at all.
I hope there's no more changes and we will finally see the return of the PBA conference, I think it's almost a month already since it was stopped.

I will echo you from here, whatever the decision will take place as long as the league will go back, it's better than nothing at all, i also don't have any idea with what would be the case for the imports but for sure we will see that once the PBA resume, only a few more days and we will see our favorite team and players to be back in actions.

Though still depends on how the PBA will announce it but so far there are no changes after they inform the public that first week of
Feb they will start the game and resume.

Also, until there's no assurance that they will resume 1st week next month, let us not expect a lot as we might only be discouraged. of course we want to see some action again, but the PBA has been pause for now and all we have to hope is that there will be no more problem that will come in the next few days.

Quote
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial on Monday, January 24, said the board of governors agreed to restart the stalled Governors’ Cup in February with the number of coronavirus cases, particularly in Metro Manila, starting to drop.
Marcial said the league was just waiting for the approval of local government units (LGUs) for the return of scrimmages as the board of governors acknowledged that teams should be given 10 days to practice.
Source: https://www.rappler.com/sports/pba/pba-eyes-february-restart-for-stalled-governors-cup/

As stated from the source, they're still waiting for the LGU's approval to have a green light and to start the 10-day allocated practice before they announce the exact date of when does the games will resume, so I guess 1st week of February isn't final yet. But atleast we know that there's something we can look forward to especially that this games is likely to happen as the covid cases is also slowing down.


That's great, but they seemed to be confident to say that they will resume next week, so most likely we will see the PBA soon. I'm happy with the news, it seems so positive and I really want to start betting on PBA games again as I'm in a good run thus far, hope my momentum will not be ruined though.

There's no concrete announcement of the dates yet that they're going to resume the said games next week but as said by PBA Commissioner Marcial that they are just waiting for the signal, so it's quite positive that we will be seeing some games soon and that makes me excited because I'm not that contented about the games last year.
