2301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 28, 2022, 08:58:46 AM
Is the lawsuit against Casimero on the alleged rape is still not solved? I cannot see any updates about it on the internet, so hopefully they already solved it.

I did some research just a few days ago to somehow shared some updates here regarding that case but found no one.

a) as usual in the Philippines, cases are pending for long or maybe they are waiting after Casimero's fight with Butler
b) the case is now being solved without the media presence

Either way, should not be a form of distraction for Casimero, especially if they think the case doesn't have sufficiently strong evidence and is mainly just a pure accusation. We don't know behind though.

That shouldn't be a problem for Casimero and his team if that's the case, as we read the article shared in the previous pages in this thread, we can read that the allegations is not solid and has many loopholes. But I do hope it's the second one, that they already solved that matter without any headlines from any news outlets and media and not just because the case is still pending, waiting for its turn.
2302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: March 27, 2022, 07:18:01 PM
Perhaps a new anti-trend will emerge. 

Online casinos with increased anonymity and privacy will be created.  There are a large number of players who fundamentally do not want to go through KYC.  Such players may give up gambling altogether, unless new online casinos with increased anonymity and privacy emerge. 

Some players like openness and transparency.  Other people value anonymity and privacy. 

It is possible that new online casinos with increased privacy will be created based on the Monero and Tari networks.
I think that as bitcoin becomes more and more popular and it can be used to buy all kind of products and services then the more we will be able to regain our privacy, after all most casinos have to accept KYC policies because they have to eventually to convert their coins to fiat in order to pay for the costs of running a casino, but we will get to the point they will not need to convert their money at all and their dependence on fiat will end, which will allow them to avoid fiat completely, enhancing the privacy of their clients as they will not need to enforce KYC for every single thing as we see some casinos doing today.

Currently, the global financial system is in the process of transformation. 

Traditional fiat money is depreciating.  World inflation is very high.  The US dollar is losing its status as the main world reserve currency. 

There is an active process of creating central bank digital currencies (CBDC).  Large IT companies are also actively creating their own funds. 

What currency will online casinos use in the future (bitcoin, CBDC, stablecoins or fiat money)? 

I don't have a definitive answer to this question.

even if many fiat currencies end up hyperinflated some countries will probably create a new currency or push their CBDCs, I think we'll have casinos with both as it is today, CBDCs or fiat-based currencies and crypto including stablecoins


do you think there's still space for more players to come to this industry and compete?
seems like a hard industry to enter and with high barrier to entry at this point.
What players? the one that is planning to create a gambling site? there is still a space here and it will not be occupied easily. The competition for gambling sites has grown a lot but its still possible for a new site to get players because the players can jump from one gambling site to another and there's always new gamblers that will enter so they wouldn't care at all if they will play on a more older gambling site or to a new one.

yes, was talking about new competitors here.

Gamblers regardless of being new or old in the industry will always have different perspectives when it comes to anonymity and we can't blame their preferences and personal reasons. However, the emergence of crypto gambling will surely continue and develop in time and we must expect that new coins and even games will exist to make things more exciting, especially for new players.

It is somehow expected that there would be few more changes in the online casinos in the few years to come as cryptocurrencies are continuously growing over the years and new trends will rose up too, casino's will be forced to keep up with the time and trends to keep their business alive and keep those people coming.
2303  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: March 27, 2022, 06:43:40 PM
Or maybe it was Drake's plan after all to get the attention of Stake, I mean why would Drake suddenly posts his huge bet slips using stake as a platform on the last Super Bowl in Los Angeles and luckily he won. That surely catches the attention of Stake management and later on we received a news that they're in a partnership now. Whichever it is, yes it is a win-win situation and we will see more famous personalities joining the Stake family soon.

To be honest, I was also quite surprised to see Drake's bets.
Not only for the high volume, but also for having used a platform renowned for the crypto sector.

I believe that at certain levels nothing happens casually, and nobody does anything for nothing.
(It was a first piece of promotion if you think how much the bets was seen/discussed over the internet).
I would not be surprised to know that there was already an agreement between the parties (not publicly thanks to a NDA - Non disclosure agreement).

Obviously it's just speculation, we can't clearly know how the story went, but I agree too, it's a "win-win situation for both sides

Yes, right? I mean it that certain move he did would not be suspicious if he just posted that he bet on the LA Rams even if the amount was stated, or he blurred the name of the platform which was the Stake but he did the opposite and revealed it publicly, so it's quite relevant that were suspecting that both parties have some agreement before the event.
2304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 27, 2022, 05:46:41 PM
Irving also decided not to drift away from the Nets after his contract since he will not leave his man Kevin Durant to shine alone in the Team.

He really should as the Nets really have the patience to understand his point of view from the beginning. It's not just with the vaccine issue but there are many times Kyrie Irving hits with tantrums and the Nets just allow him to find his inner self lol.

Kyrie should know the drill and gives his best for the Nets to always win. He should be thankful that he was treated nicely even he's the source of the problem.

Now that everything now settled, at least (I hope), expecting Nets to be more competitive in the play-in tournament.

Brooklyn Nets still have some chance to grab a secure seat on the playoffs without the need of playing more games in the play-in, they still have some few more games left and they needed it to win.

Now that Kyrie Irving can play both home games and road games, he should pour everything he got to help the team because when KD was injured he was also a problem to the team and surely those problems made the team fell in the deep spots. I think that's probably why Harden forced himself to be traded in the 76ers, just a thought.
2305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 27, 2022, 04:13:25 PM

I agree however with what you said that Casimero is now healthy and just maintaining his good shape until the date of the fight. There should be no problem less than a month to go or else, his WBO title will be stripped for good.

He needs to maintain his diet until the fight takes place. He should be fit with the weight so the fight will proceed,

Else, likewise, the bet will be stripped on him and he will be starting from the scratch. The fight will serve as another depend on his title.

A mandatory that he needs to accomplish to call for more money fight. It is his ticket to keep chasing Inoue and settle who's better

between them. One fight at a time, though, Inoue may take Donaire first before him in case he wins against Butler.

Casimero's weight should be their biggest priority as it was his biggest problem than the trainings, they surely don't want that particular issue to rise again because that would surely mean that he will be stripped if he cannot make that needed weight. IMO, Casimero is more than prepared for his fight with Butler, in-fact he is so excited about it. 3 weeks to go and we will see this clash Smiley
2306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: March 27, 2022, 03:13:42 PM
Mike Tyson have come up with a really good reason on how to tell people and other organizers that he won't be stepping in the ring anymore and do some fights, he didn't specified what's the reason behind it but that surely that statement was clear enough that he don't want to do fights anymore with anyone even if it's an easy money. There's really no way that someone will spend with a billion dollar for just a fight, that's just insane.

Meron pa namang bukas brad, hehe.. Bawi ka nalang.

By the way, about sa live streaming, meron pa bang website ngayon na nag bo broadcast like free live streaming?
Dati kasi kumuha talaga ako ng subscription sa NBA para lang maka pa nood, kung may libre, baka doon nalang din ako.

Meron pa ata kaya lang madaming ads di na rin ako updated abang na lang ng replay ng highlights sa YouTube.
Okay na rin kahit ganyan basta libre, hehe... pero kung wala sa highlights nalang mas madali at HD pa makikita.

Bukas andaming laro pero ang hirap din pumili, malalakas ung mga magkakatapat at may silatan talaga na possibleng maganap

kung hindi ka nagmamadali maganda din tong abangan sa live game para makita yung timpla ng mga players, baka kasi mapaaga

yung taya mo tapos wala sa hulog yung mga players ng team na tatayaan mo..

Tama ka, maganda ang live games pero kailangan talagang panuorin ang laban para hindi lang tayo nag base sa odds movement sa betting sites.
By the way, nag umpisa na pala ang laban ang Spurs and Pelicans, sinong tumaya dito?
2308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 26, 2022, 09:17:06 PM

What about Magnolia's -4.5 handicap at 1.83? or ML @ 1.51 value bet or also wait during the live game and see if there's more good odds to offer.

I would rather take the ML at 1.51 than the spread of -4.5 because that is too risky.

That 1.51 could be boosted, so it will increase  a bit and I think that's good enough especially if you'll be putting a decent amount on this particular game.
2309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 26, 2022, 02:05:34 PM
We have some exciting games tomorrow.

=> Brooklyn vs Miami Heat
=> Milwaukee vs Memphis
=> Chicago vs Cleveland

What do you think guys, you go for the home teams or the road teams?

I'm thinking of putting a parlay bet on these 3 games, probably all home teams, Do you think I should go?

Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Chicago for me if I’m gonna parlay this match with minimal bet as always. I’m 50-50 sure about Brooklyn against Heat because Heat can show a strong performance against unstable Brooklyn right now due to on/off play Kyrie. I read news that Kyrie can finally play in New York due to the newly passed bill that allowing unvaccinated athletes to play in NY. I will not gonna parlay because I preferred single bet on each match but that will be my pick if I may.

You guys playing the opposite sides,  Grin

Anyway, I guess I would not bet on all 3 games, that's too risky, I would just choose the best game that at the same time I would enjoy watching. I fI would decide now, I will go for the Miami Heat because they are a desperate team, their losing streak would make them play harder, and in case they'll fail, at least I have that handicap to save me.

Mavs +3.5 @2.07 vs Wolves, good luck sa ating lahat.

Napaka unbelievable ng run ng Timberwolves ngayon. Tinambakan nila ng husto ang Mavericks, defeated them by 21 points. Doncic pa rin ang leader sa points, pero ang iba di talaga naka porma. Samantala, sa Timberwolves naman, ganda lang ng spread ng scoring, 7 players with double digit, galing.

Dahil sa panalong yan, may chance pang pumasok sa number 4 ang wolves.
Nakakatuwa ang ranking tingnan, https://www.espn.com/nba/standings


Ang sama ng pick ko hehehehe. Anyway tuloy lang tayo, malapit na kasing matapos ang regular games at talagang pukpukan na ang laban, pwestuhan para sa playoffs.

Hindi na rin ako naka pag live betting ni wala nga akong napanood na laban.

Even though the Lakers are playing like this right now, lets not forget that they still have Davis that can play maybe in the playoffs ............
I will stop you there. My worry now is what if they cannot make it to the playoffs?

For sure with their ranking, they might be in the play-in tournament, but what if they'll fall again?
I mean, if they want to be in the playoffs, maybe they should start winning now consistently.
The last games were a bit disappointment as Frank Vogel said but with  Lebron and Davis around, he still hopes for progress within the last month of the competition. The probability for Los Angeles Lakers to make it to playoffs is still 50-50 and this means that the team should exert more efforts to win the next games even pulling a miracle out from a single hat.

Really necessary if they don't want to get embarrassed, at least reaching the playoffs would ease the pain. There's still no timetable of Davis's return, for sure they'll improve a bit with Davis but if no Davis in the play-in, I have a feeling we will see the unexpected.

All we can read are just speculation for now - https://hoopshype.com/storyline/anthony-davis-injury/

In the update from the link, it says he could be back by the first week of April.
I don't know, I think I would not keep my hope so high because I know how fragile Davis is, and I'm afraid he won't be 100% if he would be forced to play.

If that is true, then it's good for the Lakers.
For those who does not know when the play-in will start, here's a good read for you.

When is the 2022 Play-In Tournament?
The Play-In Tournament has two key dates: its beginning on Tuesday, April 12, and its end on Friday, April 15.

Teams with the seventh and eighth winning percentages from each conference will have two chances to win one game each to earn a playoff berth.

Teams with the ninth and tenth winning percentages in each conference will have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff berth.

If Davis will make it in the first week of next month, then he will have a chance to help the team win in the play-in tournament.

I just watched it on youtube. Thor evaded the big swings of Hall. It was only in the first round where Hall got success with it but in the next rounds, the jabs of Thor won. Yes, it's sort of a freakshow. You wouldn't even think it's a real boxing bout. I guess if you know Thor before this match, you'll just think of him fighting as the Champion of Westeros.

Hall certainly doesn't know how to box, nor footwork. He must be grateful that it's just 6 rounds.

Yeah, that was the jab that made Thor win the fight. Eddie Hall had some power but he is short enough to reach Thor who played nice defense. if only Hall was faster, then we might have a chance of getting inside the defense of Thor and land him the solid shots. It was an entertaining fight, it's a real fight of the Giants and Hall did the right strategy to win.

2/3, talo ang Bulls pero lusot ang dehadong Suns dahil naglaro si CP3 hehehe.

Atlanta Hawks vs Golden State Warriors - meron pang ibubuga ang GSW, dehado sila sa ML 2.24 or handicap +3.5 1.85 so pwede na patulan.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks - isa pang magandang laban, gusto ko ang Dallas sa road, +3.5 1.90.

Baka subukan ko rin ulit mag live betting pagkakayahin ko bukas. Goodluck sa lahat sana manalo lahat para may pang taya pa tayo ulit hehehe.

Maganda rin ata yung ML ng Warriors kung sakaling ganun ulit ang maging rotation ng tao nila or baka maglaro pa si Klay or Green, kung sakaling maglaro yung dalawa malamang may laban or ewan lang din natin kasi underdog sila trap o baka may nakikita ang bookies na alanganin sa line up ng Warriors, medyo mas maganda nga din sa live game tumaya kung may oras ka, matitimpla mo kasi at hindi ma masusupresa ng players na iuupo at players na questionable pero biglang nandyan para maglaro.



Pwede ring maapektuhan ang chemistry ng team pag naglaro ang dalawa. Matagal tagal ring nawala si Draymond Greed, so expect muna ang adjustment period, which means hindi pa ganon ka perfect ang magiging laro niya, maaring maraming errors kaya advantage ito ng opposing team.
2316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 25, 2022, 09:20:58 PM
Lakers on the other hand would likely be getting this chance of a lifetime to get that spot and if they face off Pelicans, I think it's still doubtful if they can win, they just lost from their last battle. I think they need an 8th spot so that they still have a chance at the lower bracket in the play-in.

Pelicans should not be taken lightly, if they will play the Lakers, I might bet on the Pelicans as they have a solid lineup already. When CJ McCullum was added to the team, his contribution has been so solid and that's the reason why they are also winning games.

As of the current ranking, they have a record of 31-42 (tied with LA)

Ginebra -4.5
Magnolia -3.5...

I'm just wondering why Magnolia is only -3.5 after a dominant performance in the first game.
Are we going to see a trap here?

Ulats ang Nets, sayang, akala ko mananalo siya kasi naglaro na si Irving, pero parang Miami Heat lang din to, natalo kahit walang star players ang kalaban.



Nga pala, para bukas naman.

Magandang laban ang Suns vs Nuggets, parang playoffs lang ito, revenge na kaya ang Nuggets dito?
Home court sila at -3.5, parang gusto ko yan.

Los Angeles Lakers are trying to hold onto the playoff area now. And they had an away game against Cleveland Cavaliers last night. LA Lakers had a really solid game against Cavs and destroyed them by 131-120. Lebron had a very solid game by the way. He got a delightful triple-double by 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. And he was the player who got the biggest role in their win as always. Lakers played superbly especially in the second and last quarters which was helpful for a win a lot here.

Yeah, they got bullied and dominated by a huge gap difference in the 1st quarter but they somehow managed to snatch the lead until the end with good plays of of Westbrook, Augustin and of course LeBron James as always that got 38 points and a triple double. Tomorrow it's a tough game for them, let's see if they can still withstand the magnitude of Embiid and Harden. They will be tested if their rotation now will be good.
2320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 23, 2022, 06:37:33 PM


I think that's the most cases for those kid who were born rich, they're mostly sensitive because they've been spoiled since they born and maybe Ryan is one of them, that's why he's reacting like he was betrayed by Canelo and maybe that's the also reason why he revolt and find another one to train him.

Yes, he should definitely learn to be open to some criticisms and be used about the noise surrounding him because that's quite normal while you're moving up in the boxing industry.
Some people don't have guts to accept criticism - they are too sensitive what other people think and say about them .. To be honest if you want to be a real fighter ( Mentally and physically ) you have to stop giving importance to people's option. To me criticism is  healthy - one should listen to the criticism  - if it concerns you, take it otherwise leave it there and move on..

Right, there are those certain people who are like that and sensitive enough when they are criticized publicly and for Garcia's case, that's his weakness and he should work on that one well because someday one of his opponents will use that weakness to get in his head and that could result in defeat.

He should learn to how to accept it until he get used to it and only pick some few criticisms that could help mold his character.

Ryan Garcia with all his mental demons, is very sensitive at every criticism he will hear and get. Specially from someone who he treats as friend, Canelo goes to the public and reveal something that Garcia didn't like so obviously he moves out of that gym because now he doesn't feel being accepted. But then again, Garcia is still very young that's why he still has this kind of attitude, his mental attitude shows that he has a lot of things to learn from this sports and business.

He really felt backstabbed when Canelo have said and revealed something in public, Garcia may have been hurt badly because who knows he might looked up on Canelo as one of his closest friend that is supposed to help him along his career especially advice him in the years to come but I understand Canelo because I think he just did that to make him open his eyes more in this industry.
