Agree with you, he is not an easy opponent like other fans are thinking. According to their record, both stands at 5′ 4″   but Rigondeaux has wider reach compared to Casimero, but anyway it's not a big deal as Casimero beat a taller fighter.

While we are hoping to see an Inoue vs Casimero fight, I think this fight is also big and we have to appreciate the promoter for making this possible.

this is a unification fight, so it's an important fight, and opposite to Inoue fight, here it was Rigondeaux who calls the challenge and Casimero accepted it right away.

But on my end I prepare some balance since I want to bet on certain teams which currently have a great advantage to wim since they have strong roosters.
Good luck mate, hopefully, we will have a profitable season. I enjoyed watching PBA more than watching NBA, I love to support what's our and ever since I was a kid I'm already a fan of PBA but I just don't have the opportunity to bet that time, now, it's very easy to bet so I won't waste this opportunity.

I wish they could atleast make it to the west finals, since they still don't make it in so many years.

Their problem is actually their defense. Look at this article (https://sportsnaut.com/nba-defensive-rankings/), they are not even part of the top 15 in defense ranking, meaning their defense is weak and that has been their problem ever since.
2344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] LUIS NERY vs BRANDON FIGUEROA Super Bantamweight World Championship on: May 14, 2021, 07:29:03 AM
I tried to check with FoxBET,  odds are here below. Which gambling site has better odds.

Luis Nery   -400
Brandon     +275


Anyone here who agrees with this favor? But for me, I would really place my bet with Luis, regardless of the odds, I think he is more likely to win the match. Though questions from the boxing fans are popping because of his previous fights, I think he really is the one who will win here.

But I don’t really mean to belittle Figueroa, I still respect his brave fighting style like defense is nonsense. This guy has a strong chin though.

That's what the bookies give, let's just bet on the fight that we like to win. Luis Nery has that kind of odds because he is the favorite of this fight, maybe not so attractive as you need to bet $400 to win $100, but if you believe in him to win, you'll take that odds no matter what it is.

Metro Manila will now shift into GCQ because most Metro Manila Mayors are alarmed at almost Php 1Billion expected revenue loss on that ECQ to MECQ period. Business should now come back and people have to go on their respective works now.

This is a good sign on PBA as they will back again in business. I'm against bubble setup as some players can't give their 100% performance on every game affecting our future bets but if there's no choice, then no choice for me too but to adjust. Don't want to see some teams again not taking seriously the competition like Coach Yeng Guiao did last season although I understand him on that part.

It will not affect our bet if we know the situation or what's gonna happen inside. However, it will affect the excitement as it's possible an injury will happen again since they will be rushing the schedule. The normal schedule of the PBA starts on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they are used to this setup and they can really rest, but in a bubble, they might play on a daily basis as we witnessed in the past.

I know you guys are really excited about betting, but please calm down, the time will come, let's just focus first on the news about the opening of the PBA. It will be open next month, we will start betting and the good thing is that it's like NBA where we can bet on a daily basis.

Agree with you @Sanitough .. they will not follow the usual schedule because it will be too expensive from them to stay in a certain location if they will not have the game on a daily basis.

Glen Taylor has finally agreed to sell the Timberwolves, the deal will be signed in the coming days i guess. Afair, Taylor purchased the team for less than $100m back in the 90s and now sells it for $1.5 billion....not a bad turnaround. Grin
Damn, I didn't realize it was that long already.
What changes could happen with Twolves now with their new owners? I hope it will be a competitive change. Kevin Garnett times.  Grin

I'd love to know as well who are the new owners, if Kevin Garnett is one of the owners, then I would be happy to know.
hopefully, the Wolves will improve by next season, under a new probably, we are hoping for an imporvement.

Suns won against the Trail Blazers. It's was a tight game but Booker was so composed with his free throw shots to give the Suns the lead.
Because of that, the Lakers still have a chance to make it to the 6th seed as long as they keep on winning their games or they could end up with a tiebreaker.



That was a close game, mistakes from Covington cause them one loss.

Portland now dropped to number 6... if they loss the nxt game gainst the Nuggets, they will be in the play-in tournament.
2347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing bitcoin is achievement on: May 13, 2021, 09:54:43 PM
Knowing bitcoin is a success, but learning bitcoin is a costly thing. You can lose a lot of money while trying to learn bitcoin. so try not to invest before you know it fully. Risk your money as little as possible. While trying to understand bitcoin, I recommend that you learn about the technology it has and how this technology can enable innovations, and even learn about blockchain software. then enjoy.

It is better if we get to know Bitcoin first before deciding to invest, because it can minimize the risks we will face. I agree knowing Bitcoin is
a good achievement, because if we are familiar with Bitcoin, we usually understand better how to make money from Bitcoin. If necessary
we also study blockchain, it can make us understand more and more about how Bitcoin works. There are many things we can learn from Bitcoin.
Therefore, never be lazy to learn about Bitcoin, if we really want to be successful in the crypto world.

basic understanding is very important to learn before you can put any money to invest in it. actually there are some people I have met who are involved in Bitcoin investment but don't know how it works, and in the end they can easily be fooled by someone to put money into it but through a third party, it is obviously very detrimental, he realizes that Bitcoin is quite promising but have no basis for understanding it
It's an opportunity to own bitcoin especially if you have the funds to buy it but thinking that you will also lose it anytime is definitely a high risk on your part. It's not enough that you only know bitcoin and decide to invest in it. You have to know bitcoin better, even its history, its price movement and how it can be more profitable. Yes, bitcoin is such a promising investment but deciding to invest in it also means you should learn how to manage the risk.
2348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why FOMO when a coin is pumping on: May 13, 2021, 09:16:22 PM
They think that price will go much high and they will get profit so they buy at high prices without researching about coin and lose their money when price dump.
Yes, buying at a high price is a slightly ridiculous decision in my opinion because whatever tokens or coins are bought at a high price will always have a very high risk, because the price of each coin will not always remain at a high price.
Buying at a high price is mostly the attitude of those newbies who still lack the information and just go on buying without thinking how to manage the risk. Some also think that this crypto is a quick rich scheme so once they see prices rising up, they even take loans to buy the coins hoping they will make profits doubled or tripled if the coins continue to increase its price.

People are naturally greedy in the first place but they tend to become more greedy when profits is at stake. Not knowing, crypto will eventually go up and sideways especially when we least expect it.
2349  Economy / Economics / Re: A Sudden Price Drop in The Crypto Markets on: May 13, 2021, 03:24:49 PM
Elon Musk statement have negative impact in crypto world, after the release of his statement many altcoins are drop down. But this is reality in crypto world, when they hear some good or bad news for sure it has effect to crypto world movement. Social Media has great impact to whatever plans they're going to do in the next future.
No one can directly manipulate the market but it will be easily affected out from positive or negative news outside. And Elon Musk they say maybe one of the reasons.

But if you think how volatile the market is, a sudden price drop is just natural. Coins will eventually have their own pump and dump moment and not just because of a celebrity who keeps on making tweets about crypto. Prices will definitely change from time to time and this is the reality of crypto.
2350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I swap my BTC to altcoins and hold for better benefits? on: May 13, 2021, 04:14:11 AM
If you're already invested in bitcoin then i suggest you to keep hodling mate.. Rather than choosing again some altcoin that can help you to improve your profits and especially to skip the situation what you have right now.. For me its a bad idea actually because mostly alts are not that good like bitcoin .. Yes you can solve your current situation right now if you swap your btc in some promising alts but did you know how long it will last? Is it like bitcoin than has a strong support wherein in every fluctuation it always bouncing and the potential is too high to make an ATH soon? I think no since alts nowadays are good only for short term unlike bitcoin, even you hold it for how many years you still can make good return after all, what i mean even you have a worst situation right know you still have a chance to win no matter what happen afterwards. Unlike alts wherein not trustworthy when it comes hodling.
Your investment will only depend in your own preference. Don't worry if you get lose from your own choice because that will also leave you good lessons.

I would not suggest to swap your bitcoin into altcoins or just focus on bitcoin alone because we have different perspective on how to become profitable. Just DYOR with due diligence and i know you will never get wrong from your own point of view.
2351  Economy / Speculation / Re: What make people panic sell? on: May 13, 2021, 03:45:36 AM
People often panic because of FOMO and excitement. Besides, the biggest cause of panic is not knowing what to do. It becomes panic because of not being able to decide at what level it wants to sell, whether it will rise more as it rises, and because it does not make a conscious investment by setting itself a goal. These also force people to lose.
I believe FOMO is mostly the reason why people do panic selling either they are afraid to lose when the price gets dump suddenly or they are just taking the chances to make profits after long term of holding.

Holding is good but if your aim is to hold your coins forever, you will miss the feeling of being profitable. Remember that your first goal is to make profits and you won't make any profit unless you decide to sell your coins.
2352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum on the rise: Sell or HODL? on: May 12, 2021, 08:40:40 PM
I think no one can predict the movement of the crypto market, as well as Ethereum price movements later, even though Ethereum looks unstoppable, and I am sure that the potential for ethereum can touch 10,000 $, but before that, definitely Ethereum will experience a price correction, for now I hold
Ethereum is showing a strong momentum these days so i definitely hold too. I have high hopes for ethereum even before and i think its value will be even bigger in the next days.

Selling a part of it could also be a wise decision because as they say, no one can rightly predict the market and who knows it will not reach another peak again. But i also say, if you want to leave remarks and change what your future is, take the risk because there might be bigger profits waiting for you if you hold it even more.
2353  Economy / Economics / Re: "BTC not a currency per se but can be an alternative asset" China on: May 12, 2021, 03:26:36 PM
In an interesting turn of events, China's tone on BTC has "softened". Who was expecting this change in tone? Not me. Not after all the crack downs on exchanges or ICO bans and the works they are doing with their CBDC.

People's Bank of China deputy governor also said they will be looking to craft regulations to prevent speculations of BTC investments. They will most likely convene meetings with traditional companies that are interested.
It's a very fairy tale story type of deal what China is doing with crypto. I hate china as much as the next guy for all the things they are doing and how they are managing their nation, but when it comes to crypto they have turned 180 degrees so that is a good thing for us. This doesn't make them a good nation, but at the very least it would make them a crypto friendly one and we need something like that from every nation.

I remember clearly when there was talks about how they were planning on banning bitcoin all together, and loving some other coins like EOS which is down from where it was, and they were even against miners for a while. Looking at how they are right now, I can see that they are doing very well and they will probably keep doing very well for a long time as well. Crypto should be supported in every nation, there is no exceptions.
It's hard to tell the real intention of China about this sudden change about their view on bitcoin. Maybe they have come to realized that they cannot shut down bitcoin and their digital Yuan cannot replace bitcoin's popularity.

Although this news is quite hard to believe thinking how China had disliked bitcoin before, this brings positive impact to crypto market which will open more chances for bitcoin to be accepted as a payment in most countries and even as a a good alternative asset or investment.
2354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in bitcoins for future kids on: May 12, 2021, 02:21:25 AM
This is not a bad idea . This will help  in future . If you could hold it from few years ago than it is a  mazing . But if you are thinking to buy now this could be risk . But anything can happen. This will be safest savings for them.
This is a wise decision but risky. You cannot rely solely on crypto alone as the market keeps fluctuating. High volatility makes it even more  unpredictable.

But investing in bitcoin for long term can be quite profitable too as long as you also invest into some other businessess with strong foundation. You need to diversify your investment so you won't end up nothing if bitcoin falls or your other investment becomes undervalued.
2355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is someone worried about the recent decline of BTC? on: May 11, 2021, 11:47:40 PM
It s nornal feeling worried about the dip declined of BTC price.  But,  we don't need to panic because it will drive you worse.  So far,  the price of BTC is very volatile and can drop so easily after reaching such certain rate.  And this of course impact to altcoins.  This is not new. As long as still in bullish period,  we are better to hold. But of course,  dyor
There's no room for worries when it comes to bitcoin. Only newbies worry for sure. Bitcoin has always its pump and dump moment so everything comes naturally. Let's just enjoy the ride while watching its flaws and never think of quitting for bitcoin just because of a small decline. Be patient. It's the best advice we can get from strong hands.
2356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: in between the decision to hold or sell on: May 11, 2021, 11:19:09 PM
having a conversation with a friend today , he was asking me if he should sell or hold a coin. i didnt give a straight answer, i just told him the project is a good one that can do well but if you are willing to wait then you can hold but if you need some money then you can sell off. he then replied that he will wait for an additional 25% increase before he would sell off. i think i tried my best to let him make his final decision himself. is there any better way to do this? if it were you, how would you respond to this. ??

Sell half then leave the other half for long term. Time will come that the coin you are holding has a possobility to go lower than the price you bought it when bear market happens. Selling half means you will be able to have buying power at a cheaper price or any other coins on sale on that moment. Waiting for more gains will just leave you at a disappoinment if that coin is aleady at its peak and it dumped after few days.
If your friend is really in need of money, its a good decision to sell half of them and leave half for long term hold. We all have different views when it comes to selling and holding and it's quite hard to decide for your friend because its his own investment and not mine.

Good thing OP you leave him for his final decision. If he sees good profits already, he can sell his coins but i bet if the coins has huge potentials, he can make more profits in the future only if he's willing to hold it for years. Patience is all that matters.

2357  Economy / Economics / Re: Year 2021-2022 will be very Good and very Bad. on: May 11, 2021, 10:30:29 PM
Nothing have already been decided. We are just in the middle of the year 2021 and lots of things can still happen and things might get better for the new months since economy of different countries are slowly getting up from the effects of the pandemic. We do not exactly know what the future will provide for us so there is still an open line of what can happen if it will be good or bad. Let us just hope that things will no longer gets worst for many people have already suffered. Let us just think of the positive side rather than stressing out that something bad could happen.
We don't know what the future holds so i think it's still a long way to go so we still have time to work on it. Of course positive and negative things will definitely happen but if we focus on working for positive things, we can attract positive outcome too.

Things will be different in the months and years to come but i don't think crypto market particularly with bitcoin will experience its deepest dip because there are already big institutions that have backed up bitcoin today so it's far from having its long dump like what had happened in 2017.
2358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My feelings after 11 years with crypto. on: May 10, 2021, 11:42:22 PM
This is one of the biggest regrets. But as said by the members here if you are one of them, you are not alone.
Again, we cannot live in the past and cannot return to the past. What we should do is what is currently happening. We must think about this time and also the future. Depression and regret will not be enough and will not make us rich. So, immediately move on even though it's heavy. It's better to start from the start and get what we want again.
You are not too late dude because crypto is still here giving us vast opportunities but it's up to you how you will handle your priorities. There's no point on remembering the past because that won't do good at this moment.

Move on my friend. Start investing again and set yourself for more losses than preparing yourself for quick profits. And stop being impatient. Set your goal and work for it. Successful men are those who patiently wait and don't just give up easily. That does not apply to crypto but definitely in all aspects of life.
2359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shopping time guys. Fill your bags now. on: May 10, 2021, 11:12:42 PM
Your right these significant decline gives a chance to everybody to fill our bags with the favorite coins in market make it sure they have pass the research for the new alts that was added on your list possessing a good fundamentals and a strong community is the key for future earnings.
Everytime a correction happens, the oportunity to buy more at its favorable price is expected. But it's not going to be a panic buying or selling moment because you still have to make deep researches on the top coins that will have high potentials for growth and that possess good fundamentals.

This is a good chance to diversify our portfolio but that doesn't mean that you have to collect all the cheap coins aroun but focus more on the top coins considering bitcoin and ethereum at its first.
2360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm now all in BTC. All eggs in one basket! on: May 09, 2021, 09:47:46 PM
Since you are a long-term holder your decision to go all-in for Bitcoin against other altcoin is a good move because bitcoin is relatively stable in the price for long-term holding to maximize profits.
You are not alone since most of the early investors prefer to hold their bitcoin for long term. Although what you are doing is very risky but believe me, it's a very wise decision. You won't be able to maximize your profits if you always play safe all the time. Sometimes, you also need to take the risk and be prepare for its worst consequence of losing and not just thinking of good returns most of the time.
