In our country that's a huge amount of income already, however, it still depends on your lifestyle because normally people live based on what they earn and

I think $6000 a month is not enough if you live a lavish life. If we talk about being a King, then we should assume that we can do everything we want in life, the life of a rich to be exact, but if you live like the standard of the minimum wage earner in our country which is like $300 a month, then you will certainly enjoy and not only enjoy but you can always have good life savings.

WTF Gilas. Even SMC teams in the PBA can beat team Indonesia. Coach Chot was too comfortable. I previously posted here my concern that Gilas struggles in Thailand during their first match in SEA Games which shows already what's the problem. Damn Chot, sitting out LeBron Lopez for most of the time where he's one of the good assets there to bring the ball down. The Ravena brothers seem tired already and Chot may be like these guys for real (don't take it seriously). All countries in South East Asia should be "easy" to the Gilas no matter how improved those. I used the word "easy" because it's a fact and for all the countries in the South East, we are the most basketball enthusiast.

If a team like Indonesia was able to beat them, Gilas should hope for fuck*ng changes in the squad as no way it can complete closely in the ASIAN games.

I think the players is not the problem, it's the coaching that is a big problem, and even coach Chot admitted that. We really need coach Tab, I don't know why they choose coach Chot again when Gilas was way better under the coaching job of coach Tab.

It's the first time we lose after many years of dominating the sea games, it should be a lesson learned for the SBP.

Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics series has been going on very competitively. Miami Heat are 2-1 ahead now but I still believe in Boston Celtics of course. Boston Celtics are my favourite team for the the championship as I indicated it before. I really like them for their solid offense and defense both. And maybe this series will finish by a very close score but Boston Celtics would manage to eliminate Miami Heat hopefully. And when it comes to the fourth game, I'm expecting Boston Celtics to be victorious. I will wait for them to be better at defending above all else.
Unlike the Mavs vs Warriors series, I think this series is going to reach game 6 or 7. Yes, Heat has the lead in the series now but it's still too early to conclude, we know that the Celtics are good in bouncing back, so I believe they will be able to even the series tomorrow, and I like that their spread is not moving significantly, I'm very comfortable with -6.5
2344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 23, 2022, 06:01:30 AM
I guess the reason why the line is this close is because of how the Mavs performed in the second game where they led throughout the first half. With that said i'll take the Mavs spread on the first half and expect them to come out strong in the first two quarters. The Mavs first quarter seems juicy as well, I remember how the Warriors barely win first quarters during their series against the Grizzlies.




The result is unexpected, game 3 is supposed to be a game that Dallas should win but they can't really beat the Warriors although it's very obvious that the calls are on their favorite. Luka did a great job as usual but he still needed the help of his teammates who does not show up in that game.

Bullock was the missing link in this game, he was scoreless with 10 attempts.

The next 2 games will be on Dallas, let's see if the Mavericks can bounce back as this time, it will be on their advantage.

We are going to find out tomorrow, Mavericks have to win the game, or else they'll be out already in the playoffs with a 3-0 score. Why? because no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit, that's in the history of the NBA. The reason why Mavericks are -2 tomorrow is because they need to win the game.

Dallas are good at home, in fact they beat the Suns on their home court, so I think they can do the same with the Warriors. They understand the risk of getting eliminated if they lose the game tomorrow, so expect a big run by the Mavericks as they usually win by huge number.

Yes, I love the chances of Dallas to at least win 1 game in their home court to stop the bleeding. They shoot very good as well at home, Finney-Smith, Bullock, Bertans can lead a avalanche of 3's and maybe that will give them enough separation against the Warriors. But we all know that there's no lead that is safe against a team like the Warriors so Dallas should played solid 48 minutes of basketball. Unlike in game 2 wherein they collapse in the 3rd, they can't allow that to happen again.

Warriors actually is the most consistent team in the playoffs, that's why they are the favorites now to win the NBA championship. However, we cannot deny the fact that Dallas is also a good team, when we don't expect them to bounce back against the Suns but they were the ones who end the series in 6, imagine how high the odds if you bet on them when they are down 0-2, and they are on the same situation now.

So I like to answer with a question, is it automatic that crypto will rise when inflation increases?

I think the main reason why bitcoin is rising is that people are investing, so how can people invest their money if they have financial difficulty due to inflation, maybe the whales can invest or people who own big companies just to keep their money safe from inflation. However, if we look at the overall impact, it's still the majority of the investors are moving the price of bitcoin and they are not as rich as company owners or Elon Musk for example.

After all these years, finally, we now have a sign that Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr. fight will happen. They already have a venue in Las Vegas where both parties are neutral.

The title fight between Spence Jr and Crawford is set for Las Vegas

The fight has been confirmed by Terence Crawford himself but the date of the fight is yet to be announce soon as both boxers will sign the contract to make the fight into reality. Seems they're agreeing on each other's terms. This it people!

Both fighters are hungry to beat each other because they want to become the best in there division. I'm confident that this fight will gonna happen even before this news was published. Both players can gain huge profit here while they are still in there prime while beating there opponent will give them a huge boost to there record and increase there popularity more. The match is not yet starting but I smell already the possible trilogy of the fight for these 2 great boxer in there era. I believe there a greatest problem that they might encounter that could possibly delay this match is the agreement for the profit cut on the match. I'm sure this 2 players value themselves more compared to the other one.

It is still to early to tell that both Spence and Crawford will have a trilogy soon because this is their 1st fight, a trilogy or rematch will only happen if the result is quite close enough and the result is by a decision or both parties is still interested to make the rematch or trilogy happen. Until then, it's still not yet possible for now.

The attached information above was only a teaser of their upcoming fight but it's not yet official. The good thing is that Crawford has confirmed the fight himself but they still haven't signed their respective contracts yet to make the fight happen.

Looking for luck, I guess? But most of the time, the luckier is the one who facilitates the gambling business. Later, those gamblers realize that they are already out of control and they already lose lots of money. Just how you describe it, poor people who lose their money in gambling do have more problem to face.

The money is not allocated for gambling, but due to un-control decisions, they just lose it and add it to their problem.
Looking for luck we can do but we don't have to bother looking for it because the more we look for it, the more difficult it will be. Just let the luck that will come to us in due time and we will not realize it. If gamblers can realize that they are out of control and have lost a lot of money, they can stop immediately and will not continue playing gambling because it can make them go bankrupt and lose even more money. If they can allocate the money well and not spend it on gambling, I guess they can survive.
There's certainly no need to look for this kind of factor called "luck" to help certain gamblers win when doing some gambling activities, as if they can realize it sooner what to do instead of letting themselves to be bury in debts in-exchange for that hopes that you get lucky is already enough and that is already a win on the gambler's side.

It's quite important to have a right mindset before entering these gambling houses so that you can always think ahead.
2350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: May 21, 2022, 05:43:56 PM
Davis would avoid that power and wouldn't underestimate him because he doesn't want to get upset and lose to someone like Romero's caliber.
He could lose and get upset on anyone but it will hurt a lot if it's coming from Romero, Romero is the only fighter that gets on Davis's nerve, based on what I saw on Youtube he really hates Rolly, and he will never accept defeat against Romero and I don't think Romero will stop hating Davis even if he wins or loses the fight, same with Tank, the trash-talking is on a personal level already, if the fight is to close then there's a possibility of a rematch, of course, the hate for each other will continue.
Well, Davis has to be calm and don't let Rolly get inside his head as that would only destroy his game plan comes May 28. We all know how talented Davis is, he can win this fight without a doubt, but if he losses his focus, then we might see a big upset in this fight and Rolly will just laugh at him.

I'm sure he is well aware of the Kambosos - Lopez fight, Lopez lose the fight because of his too much eagerness to knock out Kambosos disregarding or throwing all his fight plans he just go there throw a lot of haymakers, and Kambosos countered all that he puts out, Tank hate Romero but he should be aware that he is using thrash talk to get into his head and lose his composure heading to the fight, even if he is the stronger fighter he should be careful throwing is plans just to knock out Romero

Maybe he will look into that fight, but the thing is that Romero has not knock out a name fighters yet, yeah, maybe he has a good knock out punch, but how about hitting it to someone who has a good chin as Davis? It will be a different story for Romero if his style against Davis is not going to be effective. And I will say that they will have the same defensive stance, similar to Floyd, the Philly shell but Romero looks amateurish pulling that stance, just saying.

That is why Romero is trying to get into Davis's head as he knew that he's not that powerful to defeat the latter. Sure he have some good clean record on his possession and impressive KO rate but Davis got more prettier record and a much more impressive KO rate. Romero have to work hard and exhaust himself so that he can give Davis a good fight. Well, I really hope so that we can see some entertaining fight as these boxers record are quite good.
2351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 21, 2022, 04:51:09 PM
KO is the most convincing victory, and we all know that Magsayo is capable of doing that. This is his big chance to prove that he deserves the position he is holding now, and since it's his first title defense, he should have a very convincing win, and like we discuss, it should be a KO.

Well, it's hard to just expect a KO, Magsayo has to work harder in order to give that to us. His last KO did not come from a dominant performance because he was losing the fight, and luckily he was able to hit his opponent with a solid punch and knock him out. We have many doubters about him, so he should take that as a chance to inspire himself to get better and better until doubters will realize that Magsayo is a legitimate champion not only on record.

Let's not give him too expectation because Vargas is a good and decent boxer who is going for his title, we know how badly he needs some good win especially this one but a win is a win, no matter what it is. If he can manage to knockout Vargas then it's good, let's just believe in him that he can deal with this.

The risk of animals getting tortured is actually the same with ones who are just racing with each other just like horse racing, these horses are trained in harsh conditions in additional of using some whip to discipline the horses. So, it's still an animal cruelty but does the people or government care about this? I think the answer would be, NO.

These horses are trained in a well-developed environment. There's no way the horse owners who are putting big money here and in the end, will do some bad treatment on their horses.  Contrary to what are you saying, they will do everything to make these horses fit in the race.

You as an owner for example and spending lots of money on your horse, do you want your horse to be trained in a harsh condition? Of course, no.

How can you win if you will treat your horses badly during the preparation time?

Yes they are trained in a well-developed environment but the way they train these horse will vary to the trainers and that didn't take out the fact using some hard measures or we can say in a harsh condition just to make the horse fit on the race. Whether we like it or not, that's the reality and if you're not agreeing on these measures then I think the owner can do it by himself.

I do think that you're referring to a pet horse and not a race horse, there's a big difference on it.

The Bivol - Canelo fight result is something we least expected and we could have it again in this fight, we considered the Bivol Canelo a mismatch but look what happened, Bivol teach Canelo a lesson in boxing, will we see the same scenario here can Romero come out a Bivol like performance I don't rule it out but his team should come out something new for Tank, they all know how Tank works, they should anticipate this.

I don't close the possibility that it would happen, but as we all know, Davis is not the kind of guy who just let his opponent get the best of him. After what happened to Canelo, I'm sure every champion out there is being cautious by training harder than usual to defend their title and give their fans the best version of themselves when they step in the ring. It was a big lesson for them and for the upcoming challenger as well to give the best that they can to become a champion.
I think this point is that upsets do happen in boxing and maybe Romero can do it for all we know. But yes, Davis and his team should know Romero because they work at the same gym and could have been sparring years ago so they know his power. And with that, they will be very careful and Davis would avoid that power and wouldn't underestimate him because he doesn't want to get upset and lose to someone like Romero's caliber.

Upset is always possible if the challenging fighter will work harder and a lucky combo landed to his opponents weak point, we never know how this fight will end up but for most fans, we all wanted to see great actions from both fighters, underdog to be more aggressive and the favorite to showcase his dominance.

Both fighters will adjust after working with fight's replays from their opponents' current fights. It would be a good call for Davis to maintain his belt and stay on top.

Indeed, Tank Davis shouldn't ease up for even a bit because I believe that the underdog is really capable on pinning him down if he will be given a chance and looking up on this kids stats, he sure does have a pretty record but undeniable Davis has it more in almost every aspect. In any way, I hope this will be a good fight and Rolly will also show some toughness and back his big mouth.

That could help but mostly, their strategies will change when they are sharing a ring because sometimes the opponent will also use a different strategy as he knows that he's recent fights will be reviewed. Yes, it will be good if Davis can defend his belt successfully.

Jimmy at home didn't disappoint, 40 piece for game one.  3rd quarter they destroyed the celts.  Just one game and I expect a tough back and forth series here.  This could be one of those series that each home team wins out.  Good game 1 so far.

That's Jimmy Butler right there, grabbing 9 rebounds and contributed 41 points for playing 41 minutes on the court. The Celtics have been also good on their defensive strategy but they can't deny that they are not that anymore hard to pass through because Marcus Smart and Al Horford wasn't there to help Jayson Tatum. Nevertheless, I can see that the Miami Heat would still own the Game 1 even if those said names on Celtic's said were present.

Celtics got the 1st half, while Heat come back by outscoring the Celtics in the 3rd quarter. That doesn't happen all the time, so I guess if Horford and Smart were their, they'll be able to help on the defensive end, and that game would be a close one although Heat could still win it.

Yes they did got the 1st half but it wasn't a good run still and when the 3rd quarter began, they just cannot bear the huge difference because they really lack when it comes on defense strategy and Jayson Tatum cannot carry that burden alone while transitioning on the offense. Even they got a good chase on the 4th quarter, they cannot still keep up because of the huge score that the Heat made on 3rd quarter.
2356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: May 20, 2022, 05:11:04 PM
Same here, I just cannot imagine if those information were true. Insurance companies are there for some reasons, but insuring loss funds of bettors while gambling? I certainly don't think that it's highly possible. I mean insurance companies also have some goal to gain more money than what they are giving, you know what I mean.
It is very illogical if the insurance company will facilitate someone without collateral so that they do not care about the background even though they already know that he is a gambling addict, the insurance company will hold the collateral until the time limit that the loan expires or claim it is equivalent to the agreed loan.
Insurance companies make money by calculating the risk that a person like you represent and then charging you on average more money than the risk you represent to them, so for example if you are driving your car and you crash then they have to pay you, but on average other people with your driving record will not get into many accidents and they will still earn money with them.

Taking into account that most gamblers lose their money when they gamble due to the odds being against them, then it is almost impossible there is a single insurance company out there willing to take such a risk and insurance gamblers and their bets.

That is how they managed to earn money, the same logic when someone get a life insurance and they will pay that someone if he/she gets some accident, surely that someone wouldn't get himself in that situation every year just to get that insurance.

Insurance companies are always thinking ahead so that in the end, it's them who gets the money and not us. So, you're right, it's too impossible that there's some insurance company offering around gambling venues.
2357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 20, 2022, 04:41:13 PM
Hopefully he would do that, but it's still too early to tell, he has to convince us first and that is by winning this fight without a controversy. A KO would silent people who still have doubted his capacity, so he has to go for that.
Only in boxing fighting mode could prove from the current hard training, I think he will go the extra mile to defend his belt against his challenger Rey, I know that Magsayo has a champion mentality so I'm pretty sure he wins the match for a unanimous victory or even knockout, because his fans really want him to look spectacular in a prestigious boxing match.
Well, if he could find a space to pull a knockout victory then he should do it because as I said, that alone will be the best way to silent the people who doubts his capacity especially now that he needed some wins to continue in the industry and have much more great fight with good pay.

Even if it's a unanimous or split decision would be fine, the thing is he should be hailed as victorious here and before he can have that, he should go for a mile to make sure his win.

We always wanted to see a great fight that will end up in a knock out and hopefully it will be Magsayo who will accomplished it here.

Rey Vargas is a good fighter and others think that he will be the favorite. So imagine if an underdog Magsayo won by a spectacular one punch knock out. Fight fans for sure will remember his name and would gain stature as the premier fighter in this division.

Aside from the fact that we always wanted to see some good entertaining fight with knockout in between rounds or a result, Mark Magsayo definitely needed win this fight and will defend his belt successfully so that his ambitions in the boxing industry to become a known boxer like Donaire, Casimero and Pacquiao will come true.

We cannot know the feelings of the animals used for betting. But it seems sadistic to use animals to satisfy our desire to gamble. This may be similar to the ancient gladiators fighting each other to be the strongest.

Betting using animals is a game that has been around for a long time and now, with a few modifications, gamblers continue to use it to gamble.
It depends, if the animals are just racing against each other or they are doing another activity that does not put them at risk then I do not see too much of a problem with it, however when the animals are forced to fight then that is when this becomes really problematic, as they are being breed, trained and forced to fight, and I am sure this does not sit well with a great deal of people.

The risk of animals getting tortured is actually the same with ones who are just racing with each other just like horse racing, these horses are trained in harsh conditions in additional of using some whip to discipline the horses.

For the match today, it's about to start now, Miami's advantage in the first game is that it will be in their home court so let's see how the Celtics will show up tonight.

Against Boston Celtics, homecourt will never be an advantage. It will all go down on both teams' performance.

Currently, Miami Heat finally gained the lead after a series of being down by around 10+ points in the first half. Other Celtics players are still silent and it's only Jayson Tatum who breaches over 10+ points for the team and 3rd quarter will almost finish now as of this moment.

On the other hand, Jimmy Butler is doing good for the Heat and as always, he is consistent in every game this playoff.
I just have one question about that, do you guys think that the outcome would be the same if Al Horford and Marcus Smart wasn't ruled on Game 1?
I mean, I know that the Miami Heat is certainly good especially Jimmy Butler is quite unstoppable when it comes to playoffs and conference finals as he can still handle great intensities well but I think Tatum wouldn't be so exhausted on chasing different players and alter into offensive play at the same time (I'm not a Celtics fan nor Heat).

I didn't know there were so many millionaires in the world. Most of them are wiser with their money than to gamble the capital through it. You often do not become a millionaire by gambling at a casino or other gambling sites. Then you should make a big hit, but in the long run we all play on and the whole capital goes through it.

There are many millionaires in the world but most of them never share their wealth publicly and only some people know about it. These rich people also often gambled and spent a lot of money on many games. We will never know let alone maybe many of them are playing in private casinos which are only allowed to be visited by people who have a lot of money. But we may only be able to see some of those who play big money gambling in one casino and can only see the total amount of money they use.


That's true especially in Bitcoin Land/the cryptocurrency world. There are sometimes whales who play with more than 10 Bitcoins per click in dice in Crypto.Games. That's $210,000 per click if we put the price of Bitcoin to its next possible bear market cycle low. Who would bet $210,000 per click, it's crazy. Is he an owner of one of the biggest Bitcoin mining farms? A HODLer from 2011 or 2012? The wife of a HODLer?


Whoever that is, that person is very rich in bitcoin. Before when bitcoin was still very cheap, it was easy to gamble 1 BTC per click, but now, it's very expensive and those who can gamble that amount are very rich, we don't have to get envy, LOL. Enjoy gambling based on what you can afford to lose only.


I believe it's more than just being "Bitcoin rich", he/she might be a super bored person who's merely looking for excitment? Or maybe a depressed person who wants to throw money away to feel better? Because if I have 10 Bitcoins to throw away click per click, I would rather invest them in real estate, and farm land. That's what a normal person would do.
Well, judging by the fact and his/her audacity to easily throw away 10 bitcoins per click, we can already tell that he/she is not a normal person like us as he/she just wasting that kind of sum just to break his/her boredom. As for us, certainly that 10 bitcoins could put to some good use if we have that huge fund like investing to different environment either stock, real estate or else start some business.
