That's the kind of support Manny is getting from the Philippines,60% meaning most of the best, but I'd love to know if they have at least a figure so we can determine how much money are flowing so far?

I am currently looking on the Data that you've requested. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find one but I think forbes can still be a good reliable source so we will just consider it as is for the time being. Hopefully we can get more insights on the sportsbook that was mentioned

This was what I was currently talking about. In the opening statement of the fight. Thurman immediately  gets -40.

But now according to
https://mybookie.ag/sportsbook/boxing/

Thurman now only have 115 over pacman having 105.


And according to forbes.com
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/peterkahn/2019/06/26/manny-pacquiao-vs-keith-thurman-what-the-recent-change-in-odds-tells-us/amp/

60% of the current bets are now from the Philippines. It only means that this might possible closes the gap even more. There this can really be a very close match probably very entertaining as well

Machine Learning is really usable in casino slot games. You are right that a certain AI will be able to get your play style pattern and used it to casino's advantage but the good thing about it is that you as the gamer can also manipulate AI's work as you can put AI's situation where you wanted to be.

That is the bad thing about Machine Learning because the person who's been feeding the information which is the gambler can control the certain information that he would want the AI to learn and then use it to gamblers advantage.

Esports Demand is really extremely high. If you are a gamer you will easily understand why they can really come up with this huge amount of money. Dota2 for example is always involving its users during the tournament.

They will release new products that will drive the gamers mindset extremely crazy. By that you can easily gets their attention while they also interact with your said tournament. They buy stuffs from your games like premium membership so they can get awesome rewards while the 75% of that sales goes directly to the prize pool. It will also let users want to engage in the tournament for their rewards as they also do betting.

It is a both win win situation from the dev to gamers

I just want to clarify since bilang mas matanda ako ng kaunti sa forum na ito. Sa #8 na Tip that  you have stated, is actually very subjective since being here for quite awhile natutunan ko na hindi lahat ng long post mataas ang kalidad. Sometimes being precised and stating on point is much better than a forest type of post in which wala naman tlagang bigat sa kalidad.

At again I personally don't think na a person should post just to earn merit because obviously medyo annoying then minsan yung mga users na nag popost lamang ng mga datos kahit na paulit ulit lng subalit nakaka received parin ng merits. What I am trying to say is that if mag post ka kahit papano your main objective parin always is the contribution mo sa said topic na maaring ma basa ng mga susunod na hinirasyon at matuto rito, yun lamang at salamat sa tips

That's really fun to watch if how this fight will ends up and who will exceed from one another, Manny is quietly preparing for this fight and he's going
to be adding more conditioning skills same like his previous fight, this would be for the fans and for the glory he already have from this game.

Pacman is indeed in US for several weeks already but I still haven't got any footage of him showing off his training which is usually happening everytime he fights. This only means that he is indeed really preparing low key for now or maybe it is because he is the underdog that's why the main stream media is probably at Thurman's camp as well.


Great video, thanks for sharing! I was expecting to see Thurman running his mouth but it seems like he is torn between showing respect and trash talking to build hype  Tongue

I'm still leaning towards pac man but Thurman's KO stats are pretty impressive.

I just took a look at the odds and we are currently offering 1.92 on Thurman to win which is higher than most fiat bookies at the moment.

I'll be keeping in touch with our sportsbook team to monitor the odds over the next few weeks and will update if/when the odds move and more markets (like method of victory) become available.



 I thought that the highlighted statement was kinda virus as it is spreading on facebook recently, I have not known that it is already in here lol (just kidding). Thurman is trash talking to heat up the fight which is obviously a way of promoting a fight. A healthy trash talking is good sometimes for profits.

Thurman's KO rate is really pretty impressive. However if I am not mistaken he haven't KO his last 2 opponents. While Pacman on the other hand KO Mathysse.

Why does the government or any authorities are too reluctant about the used of cryptocurrency Bitcoin to be specific is that they cannot control it. It is true that all the scams around the world involves FIAT or any financial institutions because in reality even if bitcoin was being used as the main tool for scam payments, Scammers will obviously still be saving the said fundings to Banking system using different names.

248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: June 24, 2019, 07:22:50 AM

I just finished watching the video, it was a good interview but Thurman is also showing some respect to Manny.
Compared to Maywather, I think Thurman is not much of a trash talker, this guy does not talk very fast, he seemed like doing his job to market the fight.

Yeah, I also think so. By that interview we can say that even if how confident Thurman is, he still has that very high respect towards Pacman and his power inside the ring. As expected even if Pacman has been trying to be humble we can see on his expression that he is quite pissed off lol. That would only mean one thing that this might really be a good fight since thurman is also the type of fighter who does not back down.

Facebook is being accused for data exploitation that is the main issue that the lawmakers are trying to address because obviously in the long run. What you think about privacy is not Facebook's concern after all, why would you trust their stablecoin as it completely break the main objective of having the said crypto currency. Plus the lawmakers are too afraid of the fact that the government might not be able to control facebook when the time comes.




 Mark Zuckerberg made the post about the Libra project on June 18th of this year and prior to that date bitcoin had shown good rising strength. Even at that I agree to disagree that facebook laughing there coin is the reason for bitcoin current price surge.
 Bitcoin reached it highest price in history back then in 2017 and before that bitcoin has been surpassing critical opinion all this happened even before facebook thought of that project.
 I would agree that facebook project will cause a might global interest with it high level of users but I would never attribute bitcoin future success to facebook project Libra coin

The Libra coin has actually nothing to do with the current bull run, it is actually because of the sudden demand from India after the government has been banning some exchanges proving that it is need for them and should not be considered as a ponzi scheme.

He is just doing the right thing, without some trash talking this would not heat up the Pacman fans and that's good because Manny got affected also, he got irritated with the trash talking of Thurman and he is more determine now.

Filipino are known humble, so Manny is just showing his real attitude, but hoping this will ignite him more to fight more aggressive in the ring.
If we can see at least a knock down in this fight, it will be entertaining already.

Considering their Knockout percentage, Pacman having 56% KO rate while Thurman's KO percentage is 73% the Knockout probability is really high. Actually it is also very obvious here why Thurman is the favorite considering that out of 29 wins his First Round KO scored at 9 which is pretty high.

The trashtalking of thurman is just purely An American kind of thing, we know how hard can the Americans be when it comes to boxing trash talking, they are on the top of the list including Floyd, Mike Tyson, Hopkins, Roy Jones and a lot more.

OT: Lol it is just me or Thurman really seems to look like Floyd

Edit: here is the latest insights

It is all about second chances. I highly believed that there are really people who deserves to be forgiven because of their crimes for such reasons.

I agree with techshare, if someone get death sentence without due process is purely unfair and can be one of the biggest loop hole of this ideology. Just read to what is currently happening in Hongkong. I was not so sure of what the law was but it is all about punishing a certain person who is just still suspected of a crime.
253  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's wrong with huawei? on: June 21, 2019, 06:31:27 AM
I don't know the whole story behind this. But I think the stubbornness on both parts is the main problem. To fix the situation they neet to start cooperating

That is quite hard to achieved with the current situation. Understanding both parties makes it easier for us to define why they are actually doing it.

China is trying to dominate the market and it might be very unethical but actually doesn't matter to them. They are very convinced that they are way more stronger than US and is very willing to do anything to prove it. The best way to do it is the tech market.


On the counterpart, US is also very much willing to do anything to remain on their power sets.

The main issue here is that Huawei is being used to spy the US government's invention which threatens their security. Therefore they have the full rights to take action to protect their interest. That for me is just a fair judgement. If you are going to think about how China block all the products and services from US to protect their interest as well why was that never been a world issue?

I am not a pro US but their stands towards this is just clear and just in my opinion
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: June 21, 2019, 06:15:55 AM
How can we sure that a lot of people are betting on Pacman, maybe only those fans would say, but Thurman also has a lot of fans.
We can only based on the odds, here, Thurman is the favorites, so obviously there's no enough money betting on Pacman to change the odds.

Based on the odds provided it is obvious that Thurman indeed has the odds. However that cannot be concluded that he was the crowd favorite. It's just that Filipinos mostly don't bet that much every pacmans fight but yeah we are one nation here supporting him.

Maybe because thurman is the younger one but I am not definitely impressed with his last matches. We'll just keep it that way that pacman is indeed the underdog which makes the match quite exciting
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: June 21, 2019, 04:14:19 AM
Gambling is already there since human beings started to dominate the earth, Therefore the probability of gambling ending is lesser. On the other hand since OP is talking about the loses that you get on gambling. Gambling addiction can be minimized or even purely be fixed with a solid system and this never been built yet or will never be built.

257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: June 20, 2019, 09:06:55 AM
You should not ask on how safe it is to be in Casinos cause it is really indeed safe if you were inside the Casino.  Tho, the fact that you are from the Philippines which is actually not safe then the risk is always higher than any other places.

However if it happened that you were from japan. I think even if you are going to put your back full of money on the street and sleep for the whole night. The chances of you getting robbed is probably lesser than 20%
258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain Basic education for any Citizen on: June 20, 2019, 02:56:00 AM
Introducing the Blockchain principles to students is actually really good. However, In my opinion it will not properly work if we are going to add this on the Elementary and Jr. High Curriculum as it can be mandatory for all students to take this certain subject but can't actually help them.

Therefore the best option will be introducing it to Sr. Highs and in College. In which students will be able to choose if they get interested with this curriculum by that we can assure that students who were in the curriculum are interested and are willing to learn the blockchain technology
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: June 20, 2019, 01:47:44 AM
@theb, That is pretty fine. During that very good old days of Pacman's career he was always been the underdog. Being an underdog can make Pacman more dangerous as he will always try to prove something.

Lol, I'm pretty sure that guy didn't know the history between Manny and Buboy.

But for those who have followed Manny's career not only in the beginning of his journey to the US, we all know that Buboy is always behind Manny, no matter what, specially that lost to Jeff Horn when everyone suddenly turn their backs on Manny (Arum and even Freddy).

A very good point, that is when Pacman were able to know his real allies. Tho I completely understand Freddy's reason after that fight when manny decided not to fight in vegas but still they should have to respect his decision.

260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: June 19, 2019, 01:04:39 PM
That person who said that Buboy is just nothing and pretty useless to Pacman's team actually "sucks". Maybe you were only been able to see pacman dominating  inside the ring when he is already starting to get famous and haven't seen why he actually become one of the most promising boxer hall of famer before.

If Buboy did not saw that potential you will not be able to see Pacman right now.
