The reason is, in this thread there is no more detailed explanation regarding the boss' claim to the intern. in fact, we cannot draw conclusions based solely on a very short story. it is possible that the boss of the apprentice, had a big hand in the winnings obtained from the gambling won by the apprentice. notwithstanding, that the money at stake was purely that of the apprentice. however, because this story is short and does not provide detailed information.
So, it's hard to judge more objectively.
I couldn't agree more. Many questions will be raised up quickly because the story is too short and it's hard to give an opinion as there's so many elements lacking just like what you've said. The whole context will change if there's any words that will be added in the story, so same here, I cannot really judge about who is at fault. Is it the boss or the apprentice? OP should've shared more details regarding the 2nd story. |

How will we know if Satoshi isn't present? We don't even know who Satoshi is, and we can't be sure he's not working on something else. If he is revealed, I believe he will upgrade Bitcoin with more advanced technology. In any case, he will not allow Bitcoin to be backdated. I'm not saying Bitcoin is out of date, but it could be improved.
We can't know for sure if he's still roaming around this Earth or not anymore. We don't even know if bitcoin was truly created by a single person because there are some studies that are suggesting that there's a handful of people behind the name SN but those studies are already pointless because there's no way that we can verify it as it only leads to another dead end. But one thing's for sure, I know that there's some reason why Satoshi Nakamoto vanished last 2010. We just don't know what it is. |

And according to Ryan Garcia's trainer, the fame Joe Goossen, Ryan is the harder puncher of the two, “The thing is, I think per square inch, Ryan possesses a much heavier punch [than Davis]. I believe that for a particular reason. With that said, neither one of these guys want to get hit with the other guy’s best shot.” https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-packs-heavier-punch-tank-davis-says-trainer-joe-goossen--171395Obviously, he will praise Garcia and tell us what advantage he has against Tank not just in terms of power though. And I do agree, either one doesn't want to get hit by the other one because for sure this is going to be a knock out. And the one that blinks in this fight, will wake up in the canvass after they get hit. I also believe that Ryan has the power to knock out just everyone in the ring but he lacks good names in his resume until now he has not fought for the title, there's one popular video that Haney wants him badly but his promoters are in the process of building up Ryan Garcia and Haney is one guy that can bust that build-up, so that is why so many of Ryan's fights are cherry-picked, right now he is just an Instagram champion, not a legitimate champion in the eyes of many boxing aficionados. Well, we never know as there is always a first time for everything. This might be the first time for Ryan Garcia to add a good name in his resume and become a title holder, why not, right? I know that Gervonta Davis is a whole lot different monster too but Ryan Garcia do have a good shot in defeating the current title holder. So, maybe soon we can see Ryan Garcia climbing the ranks of the lightweight division. |

Ja Morant though, now becoming so brandish, but as you can see, they haven't proven anything yet and now he says in an interview that he is "fine" in the West, LMAO. They shouldn't talk trash when they can't back it up specially against the depending champion.
He is good because of his athleticism but he does not have the championship DNA like Curry and Thompson. He is still young though, there's plenty of time for him to prove that he should belong to the greatest players in the NBA once he retires, and until that time will happen, maybe he should not take too much, instead, do it in action and help improve his team, not himself alone. Too early to say that he doesn't have the will to be a champion. Curry took at least 6 years before he earned his fame and the Warriors are lucky to have Klay, Draymond and Steph on the same team. I know Ja receives a lot of hate because of his cockiness, but let's be honest here, the kid has talent and has the potential to lead a team to a championship, he just needs the time to mature his game. During this early phase of his career, he needs to establish a good brand to his name, and now that he earned it, I believe he'll level up his game to become a champion. As the saying goes, " there's no shortcut to success" .. I know that there are some players who are born to be a champion and do have a genetic that we called championship DNA. But there are also some players who took their time to reach the peak of success just like Curry. The likes of LeBron, Jordan and Kobe are different because ever since their debut, they are already dominating the hardwood. Ja Morant do have some talent and I know he do know that fact but he is not yet there. Someday, we will see him what he is like on the peak of his prime and by that time, surely he will carry the whole team on his back. Although, from what I observed, his performance will likely get him some serious injuries. |

Nets @2.14 vs Cavaliers
^^ bet ko para bukas. Ganda to pero ewan ko lang kung bakit dehado ng kaunti yong Nets, baka may hindi maglalaro sa big3 nila.
Present naman ang Big Three ng Brooklyn Nets kabayan, okay nga ang laro nila ngayon dahil shared masyado ang bola at lahat ay halos nakakahawak. Nasa kalagitnaan pa sila ngayon ng 3rd quarter at kasalukuyang lamang ang Nets ng 16 points. Tingin ko ay maganda ang chances na matapos nila ito pabor sa kanila. Good luck sa atin kabayan, nakasakay din ako sa larong to at moneyline din @ 2.10 kagabi pagpusta ko. Tingin ko bakit naging underdogs ang Nets kasi parang nagbabasi ang bookies sa rank ngayon dahil wala naman masyadong importanteng player na naka sideline. |

Yes, we do love to see that fight in the future, Casimero has been trash talking Inoue when they both have the belts at 118 lbs and probably could have face each other.
Casimero and Inoue is supposed to face each other on April 202o but due to pandemic the supposed face off between Casimero and Inoue was cancelled and never had a chance to reschedule until now. After the fight was cancelled and the heat of provocation of Casimero (when he had the title) to have a fight against Inoue, Inoue released a statement that he isn't interested to have a unification fight against Casimero[1]. Probably that was the reason why many Casimero fans thinks that Inoue is ducking casimero. Then later when Casimero was stripped of the belt, Inoue decided to have a unification fight against Butler. And now Bob Arum wanted Inoue to have a straight journey to title fight disregarding the ranking (probably influenced the WBO officials) by making Inoue WBO Super Champion. What ever the reason it do look like Inoue is avoiding Casimero at all cost.
[1] https://www.spin.ph/boxing/naoya-inoue-doesnt-want-anything-to-do-with-johnriel-casimero-a793-20211225Can't really say that for sure because the time was not on their side in the first place and because of the pandemic and its ever growing variant, both camps decided to part ways and face another boxer that will be catered in their available timeline. Anyway, let's just put that behind and hope that someday in the future, their path will cross again because they are now in the same weight class again. |

I read from a sport platform that James harden is planning to return to Houston, this sounds great . When James harden was in Houston he was my favourite player because he plays so good. If coming back to Houston is real it is a good news, Houston made James, it is good to have him back.
This article says the same. James Harden Considering Return To Rockets In Free AgencyMaybe he is impressed with how the rockets are playing now, having him back will definitely improve the rockets as he would do some cooking. Fans would probably be happy if he will return, but is he the one who requested to be traded? Yes, he was the one who requested for the trade, that's written in the article if we will read the details. James Harden is definitely not the main man in 76ers as they have Embiid, so maybe he miss his popularity in Houston because he is the sole superstar. I'm sure Harden learned a lot from the teams he got traded (Nets, 76ers), so he will be able to use that experience to have a big comeback with houston. Right now, Houston is in rebuilding mode, they are building young superstars like Jallen Green and Porter Jr. so Harden will be stealing the spotlight from them. |

One of the reasons why Bay Area loss the game is because they are outrebounded by the Ginebra Kings.
The kind of defense of Ginebra is a championship defense, Bay Area should match that intensity, otherwise they will have no chance against the home team. It's only their import who are playing well, sure they can't win relying on their import heavily unlike the Gin Kings where everyone was contributing most especially on the defensive end.
Imagine this stats, 58 rebounds vs 35 rebounds for Bay Area.
Stats don't lie. Their main weapon which is their three points is a bit awful. 13/42 for 30%. In a finals game, it's awful especially if it's one of your main weapons in winning the game. The intensity is just too much for the Dragons to handle. For them, it's like in NBA where they are facing the home team in a finals game. Well, the Ginebra can be considered a home team  . They knew it in the eliminations that they will face a crowd like this. It's just it's too much for them and they don't have any answer for how Scottie is playing. His presence in the court greatly affects the Dragons especially on how he is getting offensive rebounds. He's just everywhere. If only I put a bet yesterday, I won because it's 2.48 ML for the Ginebra IIRC. Game 2 is on the 28th. The question now is, will the Dragons use Powell if he's capable in playing. What will be the adjustments the Dragons will be doing coming into Game 2. Just for context. 60 out of the 90 teams who won Game 1 in a PBA Finals come out to be victorious. Game 1 is always a huge game because that team will get the momentum. The way they switch their defense to prevent an open 3 point shot from Bay Area is just impressive. They don't have the height especially the guards but the quickness is there. Ginebra is known for their defense and they have showed a good defense in game 1, so I guess this will be an exciting series as Bay Area will certainly make an adjustment to even the series in game 2. Whether they will play Powell in game 2 or not, we have no information for now, all we can do is to wait. |

Hindi na ako nakahabol kasi lamig na panahon, napaganda ang tulog ko. hehe.... Meron pa namang games now, nag bet na ako sa Memphis vs Warriors, live bet, Warriors kinuha ko -2.5, tapos parlay nalang sa Denver spread, sana swertehin muli.
Congrats kabayan, laking panalo ng Warriors over the Grizzlies sa araw ng pasko, di ko nasilip kung ano yong odds sa pre-game pero panigurado and Warriors yong underdog. Sana na-cover ng Denver yong spread kasi 3 points lang yong lamang nila, muntikan pa silang matalo doon buti na lang at nakahabol sila sa bandang huli at nanalo sa overtime, gandang dak-dak ni Gordon over Shamet. Malaki talaga, tiyak nasa 3.00+ ang odds niyan... kung sa live betting naman, mukhang di na gaano kalaki kasi Warriors talaga ang nag control sa laro nila kanina. Pero kung si @Botnake ay nag parlay, talo pa rin ang bet niya kasi 3 points lang panalo ng Nuggets, akala ko nga matatalo sila dahil Suns yung lamang sa 1st half.
Halimaw yung dunk ni Gordon kala mo na nanuod ka ng All-Star dunk grabe ung pagka elevate.......
Sayang lang kasi naging offensive foul pa ang tawag, naging close tuloy ang laban. hehe |

Thanks for sharing kabayan, for awareness of everyone, we should not use a VPN service so our account will not be compromised. Good thing they will release your funds, hopefully, you'll be able to recover that anyway.
Well, if you still want to use Binance, I guess it's not hard as you can just use your sister or brother's account for verification, that if they are not into crypto and it's okay for them. The best thing about Binance is that the verification process is very easy compared to coins.ph where they have periodic KYC requirement.

Very timely mate.. Ganda ng naisip mo, sana manalo ako dito para mabawi ko pinamasko ko. hehe..
Since medyo dikit ang laban, kaya ang prediction ko is Ginebra 4-2.
Kahit matapos pa ang game 1, medyo mahirap pa rin i predict ang laro kasi wala naman siguro mang predict ng 4-0.

Inoue - Fulton fight made possible after Naoya Inoue made WBO ‘Super Champion’ At 118, can become Stephen's Fulton mandatory at 122[1] According to the article, the undisputed bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue has been made the WBO "Super Champion". This means that if ever Inoue goes up in weight he will be a mandatory challenger for WBC/WBO 122 lbs champion Stephen Fulton. So Inoue would be skipping the rank and and fight directly for a title fight against Fulton if he petitions the sanctioning body. Inoue moving up will give way for the possible Maloney-Donaire fight for the vacant title belt. It was stated that it was ordered by the commission that if ever Inoue vacate the title these two fighters will have a mandatory fight for the vacant world champion.
[1] https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/12/naoya-inoue-made-wbo-super-champion-at-118-can-become-stephen-fultons-mandatory-at-122/Makes sense why Donaire stayed at the bantamweight after his defeat because he knows that Inoue will soon leave the division and that leaves him a chance to be a champion again. I just thought that he will go down at the super-fly because that is what he said, but I guess that already changed since he will be fighting against Maloney if the undisputed will vacate his belt. And for Inoue, that's a hell of a leap he'll be doing if he will vacate his belts because he will be facing one of the champions at 122 lbs. already. I wonder if Bob Arum feels great about this too because I know that he would want Inoue to have a test first before a title fight at 122. Also, I have a question. What will happen if Inoue rejects this mandatory fight? He doesn't have any belts to be stripped of if he will do that because he will be renewed once he climbs. Just wondering. I'm all in with Donaire if he will be given another shot with the title match, once Inoue move up and try his shot to another division, we don't know what his fate on that decision but with his skills and power the fighting capabilities is really high for him to win. Moving back with the vacant belt and mandatory fight, Donaire would be great if he will claim one title for the country since we don't have anything as of now and it will be a good hype for pinoy fighters to start chasing those belt back to our pride. No doubt as well for Inoue, that man will continue to evolve as long as he will fight tough boxers and is destined to make a name in the boxing industry. For Donaire, I've read that his fight against Jason Moloney is still pre-approved, right? I hope it will be official once Inoue climbs the next weight class. That will be a good exposure for the Filipino Flash and probably we will have another Filipino boxing champion again. |

Yes, LeBron James Jr. (Bronny) will be eligible for the 2024 Draft. Initially, NBA Draft Room predicted Bronny being drafted no. 34 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft Source: https://www.thefocus.news/sports/nba/when-will-bronny-james-be-drafted-in-the-nba/Regarding to your 2nd question, yes, it will be the first time in the NBA History to see a father-and-son duo. As we all know, LeBron have said that he will be spending his final years in the NBA playing with his son, so it's safe to say that he will do whatever it takes to get into that team where Bronny will be drafted. Wow, I confess I didn't know that! Thank you for this information I even imagine this could happen... I speculate that LeBron James will retire on his hometown team (Cavs) and he will do anything to get Bronny drafted to the Cavaliers after that, maybe 1 or 2 seasons playing together (LJ + Bronny), possibly LeBron will retire. And I also don't doubt that by then Bryce will also be drafted to the NBA, lately he's been performing very well and he's grown a lot lately. Well, this is just speculation on my part. Changing the topic of conversation... Unfortunately AD was injured again, and will be away for a indetermined time... Guys, what do you think about this? Even without AD, will the Lakers have a chance to stand out in the regular season and go to the playoffs? Lakers will face the Hornets, I believe it will be an easy game for the Lakers, but I have no doubt that AD will be greatly absence for his team That is indeed possible, we all know that LeBron will have the liberty by that time to force a trade and finish his contract somewhere else like the Cavaliers for example where he got drafted and where his home team is, and most importantly to the team where his son, Bronny, will get drafted. That will be a history and the Cavs will surely want that to happen on their team. Unfortunately AD was injured again, and will be away for a indetermined time...
Guys, what do you think about this? Even without AD, will the Lakers have a chance to stand out in the regular season and go to the playoffs?
Lakers will face the Hornets, I believe it will be an easy game for the Lakers, but I have no doubt that AD will be greatly absence for his team Yes, Anthony Davis will be away indefinitely for now because of the injury he sustained. Yet the people aren't surprised by it because he's just too prone to expect that he will be healthy all year long without any injury on the process. Might be possible, but the chances are just slim. And just like what I've thought, the Lakers fell short again because of their inconsistency. |

Oo, mukhang busy na ang lahat in preparation for Paskong Pinoy hehehe.
Tumpak rin yong pusta mo kahapon brader, congrats. Panalo din ako sa dalawang yan dahil tinayaan ko yong Jazz vs Wizards sa live betting during halftime nong lamang yong Wizards ng 6 points buti nalang humabol yong Jazz sa second half. Anyways, wala akong pusta ngayon kasi busy sa mga gawain para sa pasko hehe kaya binabati ko na lang kayo ng..... MALIGAYANG PASKO SA LAHAT Parang halos naman yata ay nanalo sa tayang yan kabayan, maski dun sa main thread ay parang wala akong nabasa na natalo sa laro nang araw na yan hehe. Lahat na yata ay tumaya sa favorites, at syempre ganun din ako  Sumaglit din ako habang bakante pa at tumingin kung may mga interesting games para bukas pero nang tiningnan ko ay wala naman palang laro. MERRY CHRISTMAS SA INYONG LAHAT KABAYAN  |

Regarding the James family, is it serious that in 2024 Bronny is already eligible to be drafted in the NBA!!? wow, how time flies!
I believe this could be the first time that father and son play in the NBA together, isn't it? Or am I wrong?
Yes, LeBron James Jr. (Bronny) will be eligible for the 2024 Draft.

Anyhow this is about Spence vs Thurman, and hopefully Spence will not hide on the excuse of his accident and will fight Thurman as his mandatory next year.
I hope so as that's the only way we will see a big fight next year involving Spence. The Spence vs Crawford is probably off already, so this is the only big fight that could bring excitement to us, and I'm pretty sure that Thurman will try to take the belt and be a champion again. In my perspective, I think it's much better not to expect from this fight either because Errol Spence Jr. might use his situation as an excuse to get a free pass and we shouldn't also forget as well that Spence do still have some grudge against Keith Thurman because the current champion wasn't given a chance to have his shot at a title fight in the past years when Thurman was still a champion. I surely don't hope for that situation, but I don't see any reasons also to oppose it because their camp is so silent ever since the Crawford-Spence issue. All that talk that he is going after Crawford next now turns to dust. Just saying. What we can do now is just to wait, since it was a mandatory fight then the organization can bring this one into reality, else, the belt will be available for Thurman, it's the schedule that fans and readers will be waiting after that said accident of Spence, but the fight might be push as the organization got the final say for this and not the camps that involves. Well, I guess we don't have any other choice here other than waiting because their schedule is not yet posted plus, we have Spence's recent situation where his legs are affected. But I certainly do hope that he's not wasting anybody's time this time around and will not use his current situation as an excuse to delay the mandatory fight much longer than expected. |

I always thought that Ryan Garcia and his camp (including Golden Boy) made the choice and that they have some reasons why it's better for Ryan not to have that tune-up fight, but it seems that it wasn't the case here. Ryan Garcia made the choice by himself and without giving a second thought about it. I agree that it would be a great help for Ryan Garcia to face Gesta first before Tank to get himself accustomed and have some first-hand experience about Tank's movements because Gesta moves like that too.
There were tune fights that ended in upsets, and some big names and legendary boxers have suffered from upsets, like Tommy Morrison, Lennox Lewis, and Mike Tyson, what appear to be easy fights and tune fights for multi-million deals turned into upsets I will not rule out an upset here, Hector Garcia is a champion, and got a good record he should be motivated to give his all because it will benefit him more and will catapult his name to the top. But Tank is a risk taker and always ready to take on just anybody something that is missing on Ryan Garcia, they have contrasting characters and personalities. There are no issues in Tank's side because I know that he can overcome it successfully, it will be a good tune-up fight for him for sure and the experience he will gain from fighting against a champion will help Tank's case to silence Ryan Garcia. But how about Ryan Garcia? His tune-up fight would be a great help for him as well, but he chose not to. Upsets will be always around lurking in the shadows, it's in the boxer if how will he handle the risks. |

I thought that the acquisition of Christian Wood will make the Mavericks better than last season, but I guess I was wrong.
We can't say that's a wrong impression already. We are only at around 1/4 of the whole season and there is still more time to see if some good changes will happen on the way, not just for Christian Wood but for the whole Mavericks. The real battle is on the playoffs if only they will able to make it. Maybe the Mavericks should consider putting Wood as a starter for a change. This season, he only played as a starter for 3 games out of 28 games. Although his average playing time is somehow decent, there might be a good rhythm right away if Wood will able to flex his performance at the very start of the game. That might be a good scenario for a change if Christian Wood will be among the starting five, let's just hope that coach Kidd will give the rookie a chance because he already showed what he is made of and that he is worth to take a risk. We never know, the entire roster might improve with him on the starters and Luka won't be that tired knowing that he have someone to lean on. As of the entire situation of the Mavericks, I do agree that it's still too early to say what would be their situation because like last season, they suddenly showed resistance and beating heavy teams in the playoff run. |
