Aside from that, just let Donaire do what he wants. As I mentioned, he might didn't see yet his limitation due to the fact that he fought an unstoppable monster. We can see if he was still that fierce once he faced another boxer aside from Inoue.
I agree.

Let him do what makes him happy and he's a true boxer because his passion for the sport is never gone despite his most recent loss against the monster for the rematch that he has asked for.

Both camps are happy, Naoya will have a bout on May and then Donaire just need to wait a bit for the official fight.

No one can stop him as long as there are people who still want to watch him. He is right, Inoue is just exceptional, he cannot beat him but he was able to give him a tough fight on their first meeting. Maybe now that Inoue is out on his division, Donaire surely thinks that his chance is very high of becoming a champion again.
There is no doubt that fans will still love him to watch.

Since the monster is out of the same division, we may see him dominate it but I don't want to be sure as of now until the fight happens and ends.

For now, we're good with discussions and talks about the possibilities of his career and where it is going. But one thing before his retirement, he don't want to end it with a lose.

It's good and bad to think of that you've repeating steps again and again. The good thing about it is you're always thinking of your coins safety so you always remember on what you must do.

The bad thing is that, someone may get exhausted by repetitive actions. But I get to see why your topic is like that, it raises your attention on how you must act and how to keep your bitcoins properly and safely.

Spreading your bitcoin in different wallets is good but if you're aware on how to keep your coins properly, owning a hardware wallet and it all there could be enough for you.
2285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 20, 2023, 03:08:11 AM
There is this thing about shopping and airlines that when you check and forget, they send you bonus or discount for your possible shopping/trip. Same holds true for casinos, if you just register and leave they will send you some bonus to get you started playing.
Yup.

There are still casinos that do that when you've missed logging in for many days or months and they'll send you some free spins or bonuses just for you to get noticed.

They'll notify your account and for which will notify you through your email and with curiosity and being thankful with it, you'll get to drop by to your account again and that's it, so on it continues.

The cost of living in my country is so high that we no longer complain about it anymore. We try to just survive. To keep our heads above water for the next 36days when we will take to the polls to vote out the bad leaders that have brought untold and unbearable hardship to the common man and woman while they take the wealth of the nation to abroad and stash it foreign bank accounts.
That's also what it seems to be happening in my life. Although it's not wholly the entire country but as my way of living, that seems to be what I am living for, just to survive daily.

I still notice how hard it is that everybody of course including me to recover from the devastation of the pandemic and the effects of the war. It seems that all of us are just getting used to the sudden price hike of almost everything which is a sad reality.
2287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: January 19, 2023, 11:43:49 PM
definitely, if bettors can use AI and so are the bookies. they won't let themselves get left behind by tech. but it depends on how the AI is programmed. there are too many factors to consider before you can tell that the AI is actually ready for this kind of work. but yes, it needs time when it comes to development. if bettors can use it to their advantage, bookies may also have found a way how to counteract this technique.
I wonder how they're going to counteract it since it's just all about sportsbetting. The bookies don't have the holdings to move anything when the games are actually played by players/athletes and teams that we bet with.

So, I don't understand if ever they'll make something out of it just to counter those bettors that ask an Ai on which team/player they should bet with.

It's mostly going to be a waste of resources and money if they do so and worry much about it because at the end, the bettors will just have to pick one from 1, 2, 3 or so choices.

Casinos can't control the result of actual matches even if an Ai gives a prediction.

I used to receive unknown, spam and random emails that contains .pdf files but I delete the emails and ignore them. If someone who's too curious in knowing all of them, you can read the message and you'll understand and definitely get to have the idea that it's a clear scam or attempt to hack.

I don't know if there's an attached malware with such pdf files but I don't want to go deeper with that and it's better to just don't open unsolicited email or links.
2289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 19, 2023, 01:32:27 PM
Sometimes it's the pride of a boxer that keeps him fighting, he can't admit that he is no longer in his prime and the best days of his fighting is over. So there will be times that he still wanted to box and proved something eventhough he is already in the age wherein he should retire.

So let's see for Donaire, the going thing is that he is being offered another opportunity for the vacate belt so definitely he will take it.

And don't forget that his manager is her wife, so she knows better when to advise his husband to quit for good.
No doubt with that.

We can have that pattern from the first time he lost against Inoue and then recalls for a rematch and still lost against the monster. If there's a possibility of a third rematch, only if he just won the 2nd rematch then for sure that there will be the 3rd match to prove on who's actually stronger.

But that has ended that speculation because he lost against the monster. If Donaire is still able to fight, no one can stop him, his body - his rules.
2290  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: January 19, 2023, 01:51:17 AM
Not really owning a business but as you've said having multiple jobs.

You can be employed with several employers as a freelancer and work with all of them with the same skill that you've got. But to be on this type of situation will require you vast experienes and confidence that you can deliver what the clients are asking you.

For skilled people, specially those that have in demand skills, they're the most desirable in the gig marketplace as they're like the performance/output based jobs.
Surely, skilled people will always have their advantage since they can be well compensated if their employers become satisfied with their performance.
And the employers don't have to spend time and money for trainings because they already know what the job will be. So, it both saves them time and it'll be easy for the new hiree to get onboard by being skilled and experienced.

But I believe even if you got multiple sources of income, as long as you cannot manage your finances well, and you keep on spending on unnecessary items, you will never be stable financially and worst is you may even drown from a debt.
I cannot argue with that because I also believe that financial literacy depends on people. Even if you're the most and highest paid employee but you are financial illiterate, you're going to have hard time in managing your finances and will still end up being unstable.

And someone who doesn't earn that much but are good in budgeting, he'll be able to win against that someone who earns a lot but don't know how to budget.

Because the thing here and reality is that, if you're earning more, your lifestyle is also improving so you have to sustain that.
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real is the winnings? on: January 18, 2023, 11:32:49 PM
Be careful if that's your aim to test them out for the prizes or airdrops that they may give.

There have been reports that in game purchases could be recorded by those and you'll be enticed to do that when they've got some good offers that you can't ignore.

At the same time, as you download and install, it could also be included to the user term agreement that a malware might be attached on it not knowingly you've got it already monitoring all you do in your app and phone.

But I don't think that this has something to do with gambling.
2292  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as a newbie? on: January 18, 2023, 10:34:19 PM
Update - now 145% up since I started 2 weeks ago thanks to the Shiba Inu pump this morning.

I am now in Gala and waiting for that to pump to close my next trade.

I know the market can crash at anytime but like I said before I am only investing in crypto I am also holding long term so don't feel too much risk.

Had I started with $1000 I would now be up to $2450 which has opened my eyes to trading.
Gala's pump IMHO was already done but, congratulations for having that much gain through shiba. Trading isn't really for everybody because when someone who sees his portfolio go down like 10% on an instant in the day, then that's going to faint his heart.

Well, keep it up and always make good decisions and don't let your emotion do the decision making for you.
2293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 18, 2023, 09:32:51 PM
Greetings, esteemed community. Could you help me advise? I've seen a lot of topics on the forum about crypto or bitcoin casinos, but I need clarification on their point. As I understand the crypto casino involves paying in different cryptocurrencies, and the bitcoin casino involves only bitcoins. How to choose a casino, is there a criterion for this, or do you just go to any casino and play? It's a rash move without preparation. Also interested in a payment system, which is recommended to play in such casinos? Or just a suitable crypto wallet? I apologize for my silly questions, but I want to understand everything once and for all.
Hi, welcome to the forum!

For someone who's new to online crypto casinos, one criteria that you should consider is the reputation of the casino where you're about to play. Whether it is a multiple cryptocurrency casino or just a bitcoin-only casino.

What matters is their reputation in the community, I have seen newbies that have been sharing their stories that they've ended up to gamble in an unknown casino and then eventually, when they're about to get their winnings they were denied.

That's one of the situation that someone will face if he's not into reputable casinos and to determine them, go to the Gambling section and read each of their profiles and feed back on the thread themselves.

is it too late to invest in bitcoin?
Do not be surprised if most of us here are going to encourage you to buy bitcoin. You're in a bitcoin forum and majority of us here are bitcoin investors and very optimistic about it. Nope, it's not too late to invest in bitcoin and it's good that you're getting started.

and whether my decision is right or not, to invest in bitcoin?
It's right to buy bitcoin.

Instead of buying some altcoins, you're good starting buying bitcoin and you're a saver so basically you know how to give importance to your money and that's why you've decided to put it into investment, bitcoin.

Don't feel guilty if you start buying it, you're doing the right thing.

Taking some actions on DOTA 2 later.


2 out of 3.

These are good bets that you've got there. Well, on the SEA region will have matches later.

Geek slate vs Execration

Talon Esports vs SMG

Bleed Esports vs Boom Esports.

I guess there are folks there that have underestimated Execration because they don't usually gets high on high tier tournaments but they're doing this time.

For skilled people, specially those that have in demand skills, they're the most desirable in the gig marketplace as they're like the performance/output based jobs.

Skilled people will find a job more easily, and if their skill is in demand, they will find a well-paid job more easily. But in the end, there are always jobs, more or less paid, for those who want to work and improve. Those who do not want to work will only find excuses.

A side job can improve financial stability but it's exhausting. I combined two or more works when I was younger, but just when I needed more money for some of my plans. The last time when I needed some extra cash was 4-5 years ago... juggling between two jobs and a family (wife and one kid at that time) was physically and mentally difficult, it's a different experience when you simply can't get enough rest, and for sure you can't provide enough attention to your family.

A side job/business can improve financial stability, but it's not something that someone should do for a long time... it consumes a lot of time and energy, and if you overdo it your private life will suffer (your family (wife and especially kids) even more if you have them). I guess we all need some balance in life, it's hard to find it, but it's there.
Yeah, it also depends to the employer.

If the skilled person will be low balled and you're going to accept it then that's on you. But most likely the demand is with them and they're the easiest people that will certainly find a job.

That's why those that don't have a skill yet, it's time to improve your skills and learn something new so that you're going to be bankable and hireable.
2297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you handle your losses on: January 17, 2023, 06:08:04 PM
Handling emotion after loss is difficult; for the past two weeks, I have suspended betting; not because I want to quit totally, but because it is beneficial to take a break and observe how things unfold. I recall that from the beginning of the year to the 9th, I won the majority of my bets, I rolled over even the tickets that were cut earlier than expected, but everything changed when teams I least expected to lose kept ruining my tickets, I also switched from Football to Basketball (NBA and Chinese league but all have not been going well) and I have put a stop until I see that things are getting better, I don't have rules, I just make sure I don't have betting Apps on my device.  Cheesy
This is so true and that's why those that can sleep after being on a losing streak are legends. It's easy for them to just sleep after those losses because the majority will have hard time dealing with it because acceptance won't be easy.

The emotional breakout is there after losing and you can't just move on an instant even if you want to. But yeah, the best move is to just stop even if it's hurting you and wanting to recover badly, you have to do something about it so that you can at least reduce the emotional pain.
2298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: What percent of your portfolio is stored in Bitcoin/Crypto on: January 17, 2023, 12:23:29 PM
Somewhere around 70%-80% now.

I've got encouraged to buy some ETH and that's the portion for the remainder of my entire portfolio. As much as I want to stick with bitcoin, I think that after the pow<->pos movement of ETH its demand is likely to have more.

If my conversion to ETH becomes profitable then it's nowhere to go but going to be back in bitcoin once again.

we haven't seen any crypto bookie listing this type of entertainment event on their list. though there are some bookies who are listing entertainment events such as golden globe or oscars awards but when it comes to beauty contest, they don't list it. and we already know the reason why. high likely that it only attracts selected few audience and few bettors. so it is just a waste of their resources if this kind of event made it in their list.
I have seen one before but I think that bookie is already out of service and not anymore in the industry.

Anyway, the Miss Universe is done and Miss USA has been crowned to be the reigning queen for this recent event. Those that have seen a bookie and bet for the winner and won, congratulations.

I guess @OP should close this thread as the purpose of it has been served.

We need to own a business if we want to keep becoming capable to pay bills and do other things. We can't rely on a single job to become financially capable, we need multiple jobs or our own business that we can build to become well responsible and business and financially sufficient. The world is becoming more difficult for people to leave and inflation is increasing everyday so we need to be prepared.
Not really owning a business but as you've said having multiple jobs.
