Time to bounce back tonight, so here's my pick,
1. Warriors vs Raptors - Warriors at home -5.5 @2.00. I think with that big win against their rival, Warriors could have recovered mentally at their homecourt and that whole incident is behind them.
OKC vs Cavs - I have to go with OKC ML @1.84.
Memphis vs Wolves - maybe this is the game that will end their road game losing streak, -3.5 @1.96. And then 4.5 @2.33.
Pacers vs Bucks - I like the underdog Pacers, so ML @3.35 hehehe, willing to take that risk.

What's done and done and that match won't happen again. I don't think that he'll ever chase Casimero as he's done with him, and Casimero's career.
He still got a few years left to prove himself and I'm sure that the fire that he's got inside after the two losses that he's got from Inoue, it will brought on with the possible upcoming fight that he's got for the vacated title that Inoue has left.
The only boxer I see winning because he punches to the back of the head although it is just a graze because the real thing that happens is Ryo Akaho just acted that Casimero hit him in the back of his head, yeah acting that he was hit on the back of the head, this is because Akaho was a great and brilliant actor that I think deserves an award, Well, John Riel Casimero can not change the past any more than fight with Paul Butler and after that a clash with Naoya Inoue I think it will never happen because Naoya Inoue is now going up the division to unified the belts in that division aswell, if he can,
I like this fight because Casimero and Nery if I'm not mistaken, has been talking trash even before Casimero moved to 122 lbs. But it was during that time that Nery won the WBC super bantamweight title in 2020. However, he lost the belt to Brandon Figueroa in his next fight and the two stop their public brawl. But I still wouldn't mind seeing a Mexican warrior fought Casimero now. It will be a good name for Casimero if he wins against Nery and he could be a step closer to his goal of fighting for a belt in super bantamweight, so yeah, why not.
There is no official news or announcement about that fight, but these two are getting on beef at each other on social media, and many are surely intrigued about the situation that these two are getting at, may be a great fight to see and an opportunity for John Riel Casimero to get up the rankings faster, but I really doubt Luis Nery would fight a lower rank Casimero and risk it just because of their beef, but who knows, some sponsor would surely like to see that fight and maybe we could see that for sure, in the future, On the contrary, Nery will be facing Azat Hovhannisyan on February 18. And if ever he wins this fight, he is looking at both champions, Stephen Fulton or Murodjon Akhmadaliev to be his next opponent and claim his belt back. I haven't check Hovhannisyan but he seems to be rated number 2 by WBC and number 1 by WBA, so he is a great boxer. And with that, I'm seeing a great war between this two, might go for the full 12 rounds though. I would like to see another war here, Nery is known to be a warrior, just check his fight with Brandon Figueroa. Just two boxers going at each other and throwing leather and not playing any defense hehehe. So I do agree that this fight might go to 12 rounds or Hovhannisyan though is the older of the two and maybe bettors should look at this factor, just saying. But he is more a methodical fighter as compare to Nery who just throw bombs after bombs. So it's a clash of styles that's why this fight is going to be good to watch. On the contrary, I have change my mind, I'm seeing that Hovhannisyan has a good chance to score a knockout hehehe. |

Here is the official weigh in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijs4WL6IWicBoth make weights, Beterbiev officially weighed 174 ½ pounds, whereas Yarde came in at 174 ¼ pounds. So most likely everyone is hype on this fight, and this is a must watch because who knows, this could end up very quick for Beterbiev, or Yarde found a way to make it a hard and grind fight and goes full 12 rounds. The Over/Under is pegged at 5.5 rounds. And Beterbiev by KO @1.31. |

As much as I am waiting for the next halving, am just looking forward for market recovery. I think the btc and crypto community have seen enough bear market that everyone is eagerly looking forward to a more greener and fun market. Things are relatively quiet and slow because of the market situation.
And yes, I have been accumulating btc as much as I can because btc is the best crypto investment you can have.
It will be sad for anyone who could not buy btc at this low price for whatever reason.
But isn't it the recovery or the bull run will start after the block halving? So definitely everyone should be excited about the this activity for bitcoin enthusiast. So technically, we are still in the bear market, so even if we have seen the spike in the price this month, still very far from what we are expecting in a real bull run come 2024/25. But the thing is with this current situation, not too late to accumulate as we have a full year to save and stack BTC and then continue to HODL. @molsewid - you don't need to wait, you can still do DCA for this price and store up. |

Who didn’t hear or watch at least one video about Dana white’s latest show which called The Power Slap League that started this new year of 2023, the rules of this sport are easy and simple where both competitors taking turns trying to knock each other out in order to win
There is a lot of talking about it lately about the low payout of Ufc boss to the participants of this tournament which goes to only 3200£ a Fight while he might be generating millions of dollars of it, But my topic here i want it to be about betting on this new sport and tournament which i still didn’t see any bookmaker announcing anything about this matter, And in my opinion it’s a lot of fan and as any fighting sport there is always bookmakers that will eventually include Power Slap League and allow people to bet on their favorite fighters.
I first saw this kind of competition on a Russian page, it's very popular in Russia, and Dana White wants to make it popular here in the US and all over the world, I have a hard time watching this kind of sport it's kind of brutal because the participants are defenseless, Dana's defense is you only get hit three or five times in this event while in boxing and MMA you get to hit 100 times or even more but in boxing and MMA you can defend and protect yourself and fighters have gloves to lessen the impact, this is another cash cow for Dana White. Yeah, been popular in Russia for the last couple of years and probably Dana saw an opportunity in the West. But not sure if this is going to be a hit as well, for me, it will not likely to succeed as I don't think it will be embrace or if there is a huge fan based about this kind of "sports". On the contrary, it seems that this sports is for fun though, of course nothing brutal, just two combatants, (men or women), slapping the hell with each other. I'm not against it, but I don't find it attractive enough, just saying. |

That was Ben Simmon's stats against the Pistons hehe. It just doesn't make sense for a big PG not to make more shot attempts on a league that mostly favors offense now. It was less than 10 tries per game in their last four or five outings. This guy would be very lucky to have a contract extension that's close to his current salary if he keeps playing like this.
Simmons' fear of shooting the ball doesn't surprise me anymore, and I highly doubt the Nets will want to take a risk and offer him a contract extension. I'd rather believe the Nets will get rid of him before his current contract expires. By the way, I'm amused by the fact that even Shaq had a better free throw percentage in his career than Simmons has this season. Wasn't able to see the game so not sure if he attempted or not or there is a defense put up on him. I can only say that prior to this game, he did performed very well in a losing cause against the Philly and even prior games, driving and throwing his favorite hook whether with his left or off hand and surely he can make those shots while in the middle. But in any case, if he is inconsistent then probably he still has that mental issues and afraid to take shots sometimes in games when the insecurities sets in just like in this game with 0 points. |

Yes, I posted this fight here.
Can't believe Inoue's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum allow one of his favorite cash cows to go directly facing one of the Super Bantamweight Champions after moving up and won't do some test first facing other boxers here at a lower rank. Maybe they consider Fulton as not really a threat to Inoue so no more testing the environment but facing directly the champion.
Because Bob Arum believed that Inoue can beat Fulton in the super bantamweight. Not saying that Fulton is a weak champion, but Arum knows that Inoue has the advantage in this fight. Fulton has been saying that he wants to move up to 126 lbs, perhaps he has issues with his weight already. If that is the case then he might have a problem with against Inoue. I watched the video highlights that you shared and just by looking at that fight, I think I will agree with what you said that Inoue has the capability to defeat Fulton. A 21-0-0 with 8 KO's for Stephen Fulton and 24-0-0 with 21 KO's for Inoue. That knockout rate is something that we need to look out for. Most of Fulton's wins are coming from decisions while Inoue's coming from Knockout. Like you, I don't also look Fulton as a weak champion, but I believe Inoue can defeat this champ. Is this bout already inked? Because I'm not seeing any news that both camps have already reached a deal and decide to make the fight happen in Saitama, Japan where their profits will be maximized and both camps will surely benefit from it. If so, I will be surprised that Al Haymon didn't even try to react as that's what I am expecting from him right from the start because Fulton is with PBC.
Did a quick research and I guess it's happening on the 7th of June at 5 AM ET and 2 AM PT at Saitama Super Areana in Saitama, Japan. Yes, mate there is a issue with Fulton's power and I think Inoue's chin can hold again his "power", but the question is, can Fulton chin not going to crack from Inoue's straight jab or at least his face not being disfigured by Inoue? Probably there is really huge money in having this fight in Japan, I mean just look at Floyd though, he loves fighting in Japan every December and it's because the Japanese are willing to pay big bucks. So what more if it is their local hero, Naoya Inoue fighting there, so this is going to be huge and it's going to be held again at their famous Saitama Super Arena. |

Heto mga silip ko for this game,
Warriors vs Raptors - Warriors at home -5.5 @2.00. Kelangan lang nilang mag umpisa ng mainit at mapanatili ang lamang. Wala na siguro yung throwing incident ni Curry at napanalo naman ni Poole ang laro hehehe. Tsaka mataas ang momentum nila galing sa pagkakapanalo laban sa angas ng NBA ngayon, Memphis
Akala ko madedehado ang OKC laban sa Cavs so sila ang pipiliin ko ML @1.84 OKC
Pacers vs Bucks - susugalan ko na Pacers dito ML @3.35, dehado pa hehehe.
Good luck sa tin.
Sama ko na ang Memphis -3.5 @1.96 laban sa Wolves. Baka dito makabawi na sila sa road game losing streak nila.

So another case of gamblers going bad? that is a huge amount of money to gamble and it's not her money to begin with. Yeah she won but still she is has debt to settle here from the graduation comission's funds. Not sure how she was able to hold that kind of money, nevertheless it's obvious that she got the trust and then ruin it.
Just like the other thread we saw here, it's gambling addiction as it's finest. Hard to control even, women are going to fall for it even if they are not that careful and easily be tempted because of that big money in front of them. Hopefully, gamblers here should learn a thing or two if ever they are face with this situation.

This fight will be very spectacular,but I will still give preference to Vasily because the speed of his work in the ring is impressive,he is so fast and technical fighter.I don't always have time to keep track of his legs,it's not even worth talking about his hands.I think Loma will win on points and the fight will be all 12 rounds.
Yeah may likely or Haney will win via decision too, I don't expect any knock out here because Loma has an iron chin while Haney know to dodge and not received too much punches. I just hope Loma would be 100% healthy during the fight because when he was fight with Lopez, Loma is really not doing anything on the first 6 rounds and it make the judges give more points on Lopez. And Haney is pillow fisted as well that's why his knockout record is not that good. He put the fight in a hard and grind full 12 rounds. But I think Loma can survived that and maybe he can land some good punches on Haney and tested that chin. Haney has a good defense but I'm seeing with Loma's being a good in fighting technical fighters, he might break that defense of Haney. So still going to be close although the way I look at it, Haney could be the favorite because of Loma's last performance against Ortiz. Yes, there could be moments that Loma might hit Haney direct to the chin and we will see how Haney will react. It's not the first time for Haney, he has fought fighters like Jorge Linares that caught and hit him square and he almost goes down. But he has this instinct to huge his opponents. So if he ever tasted that power of Loma, he will do the same for sure to survived that round. He has also this ability to recuperate very quick. So really great to see this fight because of the styles of the two and their advantage and disadvantage. Certainly the reasons why this fight is one of the few most awaited fights as this will be a battle of brains and technicalities, not sure who will win though but I don't doubt that we will witness a good match but I can't lie that I think that Haney will have a good advantage over Loma because judging both of their recent fights, Loma is not that fast and good anymore. Or maybe he's just adjusting from a long inactivity, what do you think? Yeah, it could go 50/50 or someone will really dominate the fight. So if Loma is bad in the last fight and then Haney continue his super showing, then it could be Haney winning in the scorecard because of his advantage in height and reach. But if Loma suddenly found his rhythm that Devin can't solve him, then I think Loma will take this win. And with that, gonna be hard to predict. But as fans, we love to see this kind of technical fights and maybe we can say it's the battle of new and the old champion who is trying to prove himself that he can become a champion. Both risky, especially for Loma's situation because I'm wondering what will happen to Loma's career if he gets defeated here versus Haney (which is expected by most of the avid boxing fans) as I'm almost certain that he will become a stepping stone and a prize for some boxers in the lower bracket because they know that defeating Loma will increase their credibility. But who knows, right? Loma might've found his rhythm this time, much different from what he showed in his recent fight. Probably he can still go and fight the left overs of Haney and see how it goes. If he still losses then most likely he is already on a decline, he is 34 years old and not getting young. So this fight is a decisive factor, but he is willing to take that risk so probably he knows that he can still fight and really reach his ultimate goal of becoming a unified champion. And his credibility will obviously go up again and he will be the man to beat. But who knows, a rematch might be needed here before we can clearly see who won between this two great boxers. |

I'm from the Philippines and it's said that the problem with the airport/flights which made the sudden outage of power was due to the outlet box or something like that. And even if that's true that they've been hacked and asked for a ransom or whatnot, that won't be disclosed by them.
But I want to believe what they've said that there's nothing related to ransomware or paying the ransom in bitcoin and it's just a coincidence that the outlet or gearbox suddenly needed a change. And these incidents doesn't have something to do with bitcoin's rise in price.
Yes, kabayan, so I will say with this conspiracy theories, the thing right now is that it is now correlated to crypto or some group of cyber hackers and paying the ransom. So I'm also not buying this premise because it is very wrong. And even if it paid the ransom, I doubt that it is the one of the reason why the price did go up this month. The bitcoin that is going to be paid will not put a dent in the price because it's still too low to make a impact, in my opinion. |

It is called KINU and is intended to draw attention and rise the price for KIN as BONK "saved" SOL.
Do you think it is even possible to play the BONK card. Reusing a known strategy? Even though everyone know about it.
Yeah, I remember KIN, I think everyone is more familiar with it because it set a precedence with SEC filed a case against them. After that it wall going down the hill with this project and the price literally went to 0 if I remember it correctly. So if investors found out that the BONK project is just a reused strategy then I doubt that they will get the investors money, or at least get the consensus from crypto community. Investors are wise and enough, and if they do their own research, then obviously, then obviously they won't invest, simply as that. The stigma is still there and will remain no matter what renaming or reusing the projects will do. |

Got it right for first half in Bulls game and I knew that Horners are a 2nd half team and this is exactly what happened. Unfortunately for me , I didn't click place bet  and I woke up today so happy until I checked My Bet list and saw nothing haha...imagine my reaction  . That was unfortunate mate. I remember a few years ago when I also didn't notice that I typed 1 more zero. So instead of 0.003 BTC it became 0.0003 BTC and I was disappointed when I woke up the next morning.  Anyway , I'm also glad that Mavs won against Suns and Luka had another chance to show his magic and skills. Now , I remember well that last year , some players from Suns trash talked Luka and how did that end up ? With Suns taking a huge L from Mavs.
Luka only played 3 minutes mate as he was injured. Hopefully, his injury is not that bad and he can play as early as possible. Nonetheless, it was a joint effort by the Mavs spearheaded by Spencer Dinwiddie who stepped up the gas and was raining shots in his season-high 36 points. There's always been talks and intrigue about these 2 teams since the Mavs made an upset and knocked the Suns out in the playoffs in 2021. It seems like some Phoenix fans and maybe even Booker himself hasn't moved on yet. I guess the stigma is still with them and can't get over it mentally, because even if Luka is not present and it was only Dinwiddie scoring, they still can't find a win, hehehe. And Booker being a trash talker really back fired on them on that series and again still in their memories. It was a sprained right ankle for Luka, we might call it as a blessing in disguise because they have snapped their losing skid. On the other hand, it will be a big test for them if Luka can't play for the rest of their games. Next 3 games will be against the Jazz, Pistons and Pelicans. |

Magic vs Pacers - Orlando Magic has the homecourt advantage and so I'm going with the handicap -5.5 @1.90
You almost lost in the Pacers-Magic because the Magic only won by 6 points. Anyway, the young Magic team played very well on their home with all of their starters in double digits. On the other hand, Pacers are playing without their main point guard in Haliburton. Buddy Hield is a very underrated player but he's good at threes as well. Tonight, he shot 6/10 from threes which is a very good one already. Barely won mate, hehehe. The Magic though has total control, they just slack in the 4th thinking that they got this at hand but the Pacers come back hard just like they did against the Bulls. However, the Magic was able to hold on that lead and enough for the bettors to win that handicap. However, all of my bets are are a lost.
For tonight's game, Celtics vs Knicks - take the home team Celtics, -7.5. Bulls vs Hornets - Bulls will have to make a statement win after that huge blunder, blowing up a 20+ lead -5.5. Suns vs Dallas - gonna be interesting, but I'm going with the underdog Dallas here. Only hit one of my bets, congrats to the rest of the bettors here. And good that Dallas won even though Luka wasn't able to play. But for sure they are more concern about that ankle injury and hopefully it's not for the worse. @danherbias07 - good that you bet to recover your losses. As for me I'm frustrated on the Celtics for allowing the Knicks to get that win even in the OT they still got a good chance, maybe not cover the handicap but at least getting the win. For the Bulls, nah, I might skip betting on them, they are like having a switch or something and hard to predict hehehe. |

I think there's no title that will be defended by Spence on their upcoming fight, right? Please feel freely to correct me if ever I'm wrong because to be honest, I'm really confused by their mandatory fight as their fight has been mandated to be fought at 154 lbs. where Spence has no belts. In addition, I'm under the impression that Thurman have no choice to agree because his time will be wasted if he won't be having any fight this time as his original mission is to chase some belts.
Since the fight is agreed on the higher weight Division, and not on the title's division, so yes there is no title defense which in contrast to the order released of the governing body of title defense. I am still in confusion why does the fight like this happen in the higher division and why does the boxing council accept this kind of arrangement when they are the one that ordered for that fight to happen. Is boxing turning into a circus now? Where there is no rulings anymore and the boxer is freely able to decide the category to fight? Since many are confused too about how this fight turned out, no choice but to wait for the result. I'm thinking what will be the situation here if Thurman will upset Spence at 154 lbs. I don't want the fight to happen but now, I want to see right away the possible aftermath of this fight regardless of who's the winner. Well, to be honest, I just wanted that Thurman will indeed upset Spence even if there's no risk for the latter as there's no belt on the line. I just want them to have their first defeat, so that they will know and reflect on themselves that they are taking things too far and making an unjust situation for the other boxers. Hehehe, maybe some of us here wanted to see Thurman pull the biggest upset in 147 or 154 lbs and beat Spence hard. But you have to think at where Thurman is right now, lost to Manny, had several injuries, didn't show good against a overblown 140 lbs fighter in Barrios and has a weakness, body punch. So it's tough for him to upset, but we will give him that chance though. Who knows, maybe he will just wake up and suddenly become the Thurman at his prime and give on hell of a fight. |

^^ I don't know, but Paulie M. is already retired long time ago I not sure if we can value what he had said, he had a good career, no doubt, but he was not great to be honest, pillow fisted fighter, all he do is bark and with no bite, and when Cotto broke his jaw, it was over for him as his career didn't go up after that huge beating he got.
Anyway back on topic, Ryan says that he knows what Tank is doing, playing mind games already specially with what he says about his PED accusations. So he is ready by any attack from Tank's camp and on the other hand, he can throw his trash talk as well which he has been doing for the last couple of years. So I guess the feeling is mutual about this two with their accusations and verbal abuse.
Well, we cannot deny that Tank is a boxer who is like from the old school, he knows many things, he knows how to face the psychological factor, and of course he takes advantage of the networks to do what some friends say here is a "Psycho-terror" "It is something that is used a lot to cause fear to the rival, that is why Garcia says those things, because he knows very well what he is doing, however these boxers are as they say here: they are "old foxes" you know very well Well, they always look for a way to make an entire show by letting people know many things that only they handle in the ring, and in this there is of course an associated "pique", something that we all know. I don't think he is form old school though, we have this new era of social media and that's where boxers like Ryan and Tank do their talking. Unlike before wherein they just want to face the best in their division, but now it's totally different. Mind games have existed before though, Ali for example is one of those who open his mouth and trash his opponent even inside the ring. But he can back all the talking because he is the GOAT. Unlike new boxers in this era, they are afraid to face the best and would likely be protected because boxing is now more of a business side. |

It's profit making machine, hehehe, that's why who invented casinos are brilliant because you will not lose business wise.
And that's why we have seen like the mob and all the billionaires are investing some kind of money in casinos because of the profit that they are going to get as the house edge will be the key breaker for any gambler. If they dont know anything about it then, they will keep on playing in the long run and losses everything. And they know how to attract gamblers, giving them perks and everything and we thought that it's a good deal. But games like slot machines which doesn't favor gamblers are the worst, but we are all playing it eventhough the RTP is not on our side.

^^ True, but if Donaire can still fight at this point, the only roadblocks for him is Inoue. All other champions and ranked fighter in 118 lbs? he beat them. So I would say that he has that mold and breed of probably Manny Pacquiao for longevity and skills.
I do agree that there are ability that you can lose as you age, but then again, Donaire uses more of his IQ, the way he set up his opponent. He is setting them up for his huge left hook that's why he still can knock people out with that one punch.

I thought Kyrie would use the ball more while Durant wasn't around, but Claxton and Curry stood out. I was sure Philly would win the game, but Brooklyn pushed until the last seconds. Embiid always plays to a certain standard, this time Maxey made an extra contribution and it was his performance that was decisive in the match. Both teams may play in conference semis, Philly looks more like a team so far.
Embiid vs. KD in Twitter was also fun.
Philly is healthy that's why they look at a team, with Joel and Harden and then Maxey is still improving this year. Curry is hot from the outside and then Claxton was taking Embiid with his length I think Joel had a hard time guarding him that's why they were able to close the gap in the last 2 minutes of the game. But it was clutch for James Harden and Maxey to get this big win and not let the Nets steal a game from them in their homecourt.
Clearly Steph Curry was upset on Jordan Poole's choice of shot, throw his mouth guard and got a Technical. And I think it did good for them in the last seconds as the Memphis was confuse as who is going to take the last shot and they are guarding Klay and forget about Poole. So he just slide and a perfect pass to him to get the win. And there is another angle for a fan about how Poole sell the play to the Memphis pointing out to Klay to curl and them him cutting, it was brilliant. |

Am I the only one who thinks it's disgraceful the sportsbook released that information?
It is disrespectful to the gambler.
If that was me I would close my account and never gamble with that company again.
Discretion is everything in this game and these idiots have lost a lot of credibility in my opinion.
True, but for sure you know that it's business for them, and this gamblers can look for other casino to put his big bet. On the other hand, there could be gamblers as well looking for other casinos, so still a win win for the casino itself. He has every right to close his account if he feels he was not treated by exposing the amount and what are the odds and that he losses (without naming him). |
