Bucks showed their dominance, especially Giannis. Celtics has no other strategy but to shoot outside because they cannot drive inside. if they will not make the right adjustment in game 2, sorry for them, I smell a sweep here.  Grin

It's normal to think that the Bucks can sweep Celtics because they were unstoppable in game 1.
They surprised the world, Bucks were the underdog and yet they are the one who limited the Celtics in that game.



Prior to game 1, everyone is thinking that the Celtics offense would give the Bucks a problem because they are a high volume 3 point shooting team. Game 1 happened and bucks proved us wrong, however, it's only game 1 and the series is far from over.

Let's say Bucks would win game 2, that doesn't mean that Celtics has no chance to win on the road as well.

Quote
The result of game 1 where the Celtics swept the Nets was the reason why they are overvalued, now we see their real capacity.
Is it a bad match up?
Let's not overreact, this is a good match up for sure.

I meant that I am shocked with such odds. If I was really far away from boxing and someone asked me on my opinion on 1.07 and 7 odds, I would say that two completely different class boxers are going to meet. Like one is amateur, while other is experienced pro boxer. And this .07 are possibility of injury or lucky punch.

Does anyone plans to place a bet on Romero? Coz placing a bet on Davis with such low profit is stupid.

The odds are telling you that only a miracle would give Romero a chance to beat Davis. He is up against an undefeated fighter who is also a great KO artist, what do you think people would expect? of course, they will all put their money on Davis to win, but such odds is a "no" since it would not give a good profit, maybe some props like a KO win in a certain round range (usually 3 rounds).

the challenge here is on donaire, if he can prove that he has still something to offer to his fans one more time. but we don't know his plans if the turn of events for this match will be different. if he will win this match, definitely, inoue's camp will ask for another fight. but if he will lose, high likely that donaire will hang up his gloves unless, he will find another good reason to fight. but for me, win or lose on this fight, he should hang up and enjoy his life while he can.

I read in one local sports article in the Philippines Domaire says that in their first fight he just go there to brawl with Inoue but this time he has a plan to beat Inoue, I think he will go prepared for this fight with a sure plan because he tasted Inoue's power but Inoue also tasted his power and he is fully aware on Donaire's last two fights where he won decisively,
He knows that he will face a new Donaire I'm sure his team will also come with their own plan, its a battle of plan on who has a better plan.

I like that, Donaire has to be very careful in using his power as he might get exhausted again in the end. This is a big chance for Donaire to avenge his loss and prove to the world that his career is not over, I'm so excited now upon reading the news you shared, I feel like this would not be a one sided fight.

I think it is the Minnesota Timberwolves that looked weak late game in their series with Memphis that cost them games. Although at times they still managed to win but close. Memphis line up are young so they still continue with their pace from first to fourth quarter. What this young Memphis team lack is experience. I think the well experienced GSW will win this series 4-2.     
We already saw that they are inexperienced when it comes to playoffs thus, it costs their playoff chances.
Lets just remember that in the 4 wins that Memphis got against the Wolves, 3 of that 4 games had a point where the Timberwolves had a double-double lead but they can't manage to get the win. I can't say that they are weak though since they will not clinch the playoffs if they are weak team. Maybe the correct word is "inexperienced".

We just saw how close Game 1 is between these 2 teams and I think we are all expecting for a close series between these 2 teams. I'm a Warrior fan and I will pick the Warriors in 7 games. Homecourt advantage is a huge thing here but the Warriors manage to steal one from them.
This 2nd round is already an improvement of the Memphis from their last playoffs appearance. They are just unlucky that they faced an experience Warriors team who already won multiple championships. However, this is not over yet, it's only 1 game, Memphis could still come back if they will do better in the next game.

all this coins will rise again no hope is lost in Shiba the thing that will make any other coin start to the rise is when the bitcoin and ethereum start rising because people don't buy coin when it comes
Only people who don't dare to take risks buy coins when the period of increase comes, because in general it is actually always better to buy any coin during the period of decline because everyone can get coins at a lower price and also can get more profit when upgrading. come back into the market. So it's just about timing it's not about losing hope in anything.

Buying during bear season can be a disaster if you all in at one price point. You should do dollar cost average so that you can average your price accumulation to the minimum risk. Buying during the start of the Bull run or  a confirmation to the upside is the best thing to do for sa safer and short time of waiting because you can still earn more profit if you stake your stablecoins while waiting for bearish movement to finish. Sideways is always the sign the bearish is almost over so you can have time to react and accumulate at better price point.
There's a huge risk in doing that, but it should not be a disaster especially if you are buying legit coins. Though we have our own evaluation on the coins we are buying, but personally, I don't think buying SHIB is a great idea, it's not good to hold coins that succeed through hyped alone.

I think even without Middleton, I'd rather take the Bucks than the Celtics.

Fact of the matter is Giannis is simply way too good of a player, and the whole team is constructed in a way that is sensible enough for the absence of one 2nd option to not hurt as much as people think it does.

Definitely taking the Bucks for this, for the price it's a bargain.

I took an outside bookie bet, they gave me +1.5 for my Bucks in the series with +100 money, I took it right away although I still have a bet on my bookie because I think that's an opportunity. Game will start soon, I'm excited to see the game, hopefully Bucks will draw a great game plan to beat the Celtics in game 1.

The first quarter is already started and both teams have a close match. Bucks easily recover on a 5 points deficit and get the lead by having a 3pts advantage on the end of first quarter. Giannis already have 5reb/4assist/6pts on this first quarter. I believe Bucks can this if they continue on this pace especially Giannis. This is what needed performance by him to stop the rampaging Boston Celtics. GL bettors!

I'm happy with the result and happy with the handicap I got in the series. LOL..

Bucks showed their dominance, especially Giannis. Celtics has no other strategy but to shoot outside because they cannot drive inside. if they will not make the right adjustment in game 2, sorry for them, I smell a sweep here.  Grin

I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?
That's what people feel when they see the price is falling, if you are using that strategy "buy the dip", you should trust the coin you are buying because eventually the bull run will come back and if you are holding a legit coin, you will surely enjoy the profit.

However, there's no guarantee that you will just experience the happy side, make sure also that you ready yourself in case things does not go according to your expectation, because that is investing, there's always a risk of losing.

I hope bitcoin price will be back again soon and I hope bitcoin price will be reached all time High in nrxt 2-3 years.
this year bitcoin hasn't broken any new ATH and I'm sure for sure it will be before the end of 2022. Bitcoin ATH is the most awaited moment for all bitcoin lovers because it will certainly shock the world. bitcoin make a new ATH in 2-3 years IMO is a very long time, it will happen this year.
Nope, based on the past trends, after the bull run, the market will suffer a long correction, therefore I don't think we will see a new ATH this year. We reach an ATH and some coins are overvalued, therefore it needs to correct, but don't panic because correction is always the best time to buy coins.

Grizzlies will be having the game of there life with GSW aggressiveness. I'm curious on far they can go against GSW.

We are going to find out soon, Grizzlies defeated the Warriors in the play-in, I think the Warriors here will be making their revenge. With a healthy Curry, Green, and Thompson, that's all that is needed to win the game. The good thing here is both teams could play small ball as they don't have long center.

I'm also curious how far could the Memphis Grizzlies go against the Warriors this time, surely they don't have enough experience in the playoffs compared to the Warriors who became a back-to-back champion few years ago. This could be an advantage of the young players of Grizzlies so that they can learn against the heavy teams but looking in the current line-up, I know the Warriors will be the one to move up this round.

Grizzlies are good no doubt about it, they have one of the most electrifying players, however, he was limited by Pat B in their series. And the Warriors is a good defensive team as well so it will be another hard series for Ja. And yes, experience will be on the side of the Warriors here since they have been in this situation before and should know how to adjust and react as to what the Grizzlies are going to offer in their series.
Yeah, Morant was already exposed in the first round, and when he is limited, it will be hard for Memphis to beat the Golden State Warriors. These are just our personal prediction though but game 1 would give a telling on the outcome of the series.
2411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: May 01, 2022, 05:31:13 AM
^^ The bookies are correct, but it seems we got it wrong though as we are pre-dominantly Valdez, same as the crowd who watches the fight live.

Maybe majority of us here doesn't want to watch a defensive fight, but it's obvious that Shakur skills is superior and he has somewhat power because Valdez was hurt when he was just even grazed by Stevenson.

Shakur makes Valdez looks bad he is the more powerful between the two and always on the attack, Valdez was left in defensive mode, this is a very disappointing fight we all thought that we could have a good fight because these two are good fighters, and willing to slug it out, I agree with the decision, I don't think these two deserves a rematch, it's all Shakur on this fight.

Obviously, it was a dominant win by Shakur, Valdez cannot take the power of Shakur so he was on a defensive mode. I thought Valdez would go all out and try to KO Shakur, but it didn't happen because he is not confident he can knockout or even hurt Shakur. Congrats to Shakur for a well-deserved win.

2413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 30, 2022, 05:19:00 PM

That would certainly open more doors on his career if he will be able to defeat the current pound for pound king and an undisputed fighter, Saul Canelo Alvarez. Towards that way is not an easy thing to accomplish but its reward to reap is definitely hard to deny as his name will be hyped continuously over the years to come.

Though Canelo will ask for a rematch to seek some revenge for that loss.
A fight once lost is lost for ever - one should give their best in the most important fights of their lives.
This is the lesson which we need to learn in the life as well. Giving the best and never giving up. But apart from hardwork there is another important factor which is called LUCK and it is the most important of all.

Yes a fight that was once lost is lost forever but in-terms of boxing that quote may not be applicable at all times because even if you're lost, you can also avenge that defeat in-order to prove yourself again but that also depends on the result of the 1st fight if a rematch is indeed interesting to make and I bet these boxers we are talking now will really give their best and to entertain the crowd/fans.

Here is the video of the weigh-in.

Both fighters make the weight and they looked trim.

Oscar said that they are ready to bang if needed and well box if needed as well so I think we can witness world-class boxing a few hours from now, good luck with your bets as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9f6477jNvs&ab_channel=TopRankBoxing

Yep, I watched this few hours ago. I know that both could make their into their weigh-in and they are definitely ripped especially Oscar Valdez. Shakur is will be always Shakur who's smirks a lot unlike Valdez who don't even show his teeth nor smiled to the audience, he is serious as ever. Well, good luck to the both of them.
2415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: April 30, 2022, 03:23:15 AM
It's looks like the voting is tie, 12 a piece. So definitely, boxing bettors are not to sure in this fight. Maybe there will be fans of Kambosos because of his huge win against Lopez or Haney because he has the ability to play defense and could survived George power early as he can turtle and try to break Kambosos mentally in this fight. So we will see, definitely an exciting match for us.
This is surely an exciting fight because people believe that it's not only a one-sided fight. Both are champions, so it's a fair match although Kambasos is the underdog per betting sites. Beating Lopez is not easy but Kambasos were able to do that, it was a bloody fight but he survive and won the fight.
Yes, they are both champions with no stains in their respective records and in this fight only one will survive as a draw is somehow not possible on this fight (hope so). Anyways, I'm still eyeing whom would I choose as they are both dominant and have a different skill set that is unique to each other, guess I'll pick few days before the fight schedule.

Isn't it hard to pick as to who is going to be the winner?
Both are good champions in their own right and Haney seems to be the favorite. But George has some serious power and dominant against Lopez.
Maybe I will take the same route, I will not bet early, I still have to look at them at the weigh in and see as to who is not intimidated per their body language. No need to rush our bets here.
Maybe it is a bit to early for him to decide and as for me, I haven't picked which side I will go too as it is still to early and there's no pressure really as we still have more than 1 month to decide which one. Yes, I'm also looking forward on their weigh-in as there will be some glimpse on which is more dominant by just looking at them doing a face to face.
I don't know about that but for me I am going to side with the more experienced and safe to play Devin Haney for betting reasons but if it's for an entertaining fight then I don't doubt Kambosos there because he is the aggressive fighter than Haney who just play defense most of the time.
2416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 30, 2022, 02:49:28 AM
Anyone got the Sixers at handicap? Not sure what is the spread but it seems that they are going to cover it as their lead balloon to more than 20 points.

Damn, Raptors losing steam in the 3rd and 4th quarter, I was thinking on betting on them at live, but it's good idea to stay away from this game.

The pregame spread was only -1 for the Sixers, they are a slight favorite because the Raptors beat them twice in a row already. Even in the live betting, you will still get a good odds because they completely dominated the game.

That is if you think before hand that the Sixers are going to win. Because they have lost the last 2 games. But what a turn of events for Toronto. There are no legs and everyone thought that they are going to win because it's in their homecourt. But congrats to those who see the Sixers coming back strong and win by a huge lead.


Sixers overpower the Raptors in the second half  there's nothing that the Raptors can do with that huge rally and tough

defense that the Sixers shown them, they all exhausted and can't do anything to fight back, that huge lead that starts in the third quarte

continue till the last few minutes of the game, Sixers are all in their cheat mode, whoever inside the court are really doing their part to

help the team. Great win for Sixers supporters !

The Raptors cannot recover that much lead especially that they are already exhausted by the Sixers rally that they cannot even stop, Embiid and the whole team closed the 3rd quarter with already more than 20+ lead and that still grows until the end of 4th quarter.

Though there's some sad news this time because Embiid has been out indefinitely for the 2nd round against the Miami Heat because of some injury. I hope that he can recover fast because he is a very important piece of the teams success and a big man in the center.
2417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 29, 2022, 06:53:13 PM
Yes, bookmakers allow you to bet on Canello with odds of 1.3, while on Bivol as much as 4.7. This suggests that Canelo is a clear favorite and some advantage in physical data does not mean anything. As you rightly noted, the challenger has three times fewer fights, and the champion has already beaten everyone he can, and for him it will be a fight with another average fighter.

Canelo's 1.3 odds are still high for a heavy favorite. Usually, odds on that level of boxer play on a range at 1.00-1.1.

This is the first time I saw a Champion with no defeats was given 4.7 odds. That's how far the distance bookies see on these 2 champions, especially on Canelo Alvarez. I wonder what will happen if Bivol will able to upset Canelo.

It will shock the boxing community for sure.

If that will happen, his name will be hyped up. I remember how Ugas get that attention after beating Pacquiao. It will be more for Bivol since Alvarez established his name as one of the legend of pound for pound and still active and still at his prime, upsetting the heavy favorite would impact on his career.

For that, he will enjoy more money fights, offers that will continue to suck money out from the fans and gamblers.

Too early to discuss, though, let's see if how both fighters will show competitiveness once they are both inside the ring.
That would certainly open more doors on his career if he will be able to defeat the current pound for pound king and an undisputed fighter, Saul Canelo Alvarez.

There are three important games tonight and the competition is fired-up for all of those series too. They all are going on 3-2 now. 76ers, Suns and Mavericks are leading their series 3-2 now and they can all finish their job tonight. I think that 76ers and Suns will finish it but I'm not sure about Mavericks. Jazz can carry the series to the seventh game of the series. But hopefully, we can have three competitive and quality games. The playoff round has been going on really nicely so far. I hope this competition level can be maintained until the end.

The Raptors tried to struggle in the first half, but it looks like the 76ers are going to end this series tonight as they lead the Raptors by 28 points in the final quarter. As for the Jazz, I think they are quite capable of defeating the Mavs tonight. Of course, this will only be possible if the Jazz's 3-point shooting percentage is much better compared to the last match.

Yup, Sixers cannot afford to go home defeated and risk the dangerous spot on Game 7, they surely don't want to be the one crying after having a 3-0 lead. Harris, Harden and of course Embiid made a double double and carried the team to entirely dominate the Raptors not to mention Maxey who also made 25 points for the team.

On the other hand, Jazz made a good run in the first half but they ultimately lost that in the 2nd half where the Dallas gained a momentum to dump them back to back scores. Was a tight game though because Luka only contributed 24 points, bit lower.
2419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 29, 2022, 02:12:02 PM
If I would act now, I would rather take the Bucks because IMO they are undervalued. They don't have Middleton but look how they dominated the Bulls, so I think they deserve to have at least 5.00 odds, but who am I to complain, I'll just probably take it.  Smiley

Referring to how Milwaukee Bucks dominated the Chicago Bulls is not enough. The topic is about NBA Champion and the first round of the playoffs for the Bucks just got ended. There are still 2 teams to defeat before entering the Finals. The next round for them is a tough challenge as they will face the Boston Celtics which just came from sweeping another favorite, the Brooklyn Nets.

But regardless of what team they will face, if you really believed that Milwaukee Bucks will win the title this year, just place your bet without hesitation.

If you act now, it's not 5.00 odds but more of it based on the currently provided odds.

Not having Middleton is a pretty big piece of the puzzle.  I wouldn't feel comfortable betting on them to win it all until the 76ers are out of their way and the Warriors show a dip in play.  That is with Middleton being healthy.  Right now, I think the Warriors have the edge to win it all, but there are still a lot of games left.  The last several years in the NBA it feels like the title has been decided by which team can stay healthy.  With the Bucks already facing this test, history may not be on their side.  Giannis is the most unstoppable player left in the playoffs though, so if anyone can carry their team to a Finals win, it's him.

We aren't in the Semi-Final now so we shouldn't have to worry about that much and they are still in the 2nd round of eliminations against the Boston Celtics who swept the Brooklyn Nets on the 1st round leaving the favorite duo resting for the rest of the season and without Middleton is surely a challenge that they have to bear but they can still manage knowing that Giannis is still healthy.
2420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: April 29, 2022, 01:22:39 PM
Shakur need to be careful on this fight because surely he will have a big problem in the middle of the fight although he has speed and power punches as well but the technique there's a big difference and for me it's quite skeptical if we will make a comparison between two fighters, wherein surely there will be KO and maybe by Valdez.
That's what I wanted to see, technical fighters are boring to watch, except LOMA, so hopefully this fight is going to be a candidate for the fight of the year. I like the fact that they are giving us a good fight, an aggressive fighter versus a technical one, let's see if Shakur would still be able to do his thing when the pressure is high as we all know Valdez just loves to attack.
Hopefully this fight will be an entertaining to watch and we can see what we expect from this fight as both of them is a different fighter of themselves, Shakur should not only rely on his speed because Valdez will read that movements for sure and could give him a dangerous spot if Shakur is a bit too aggressive as the latter will just be observing him most of the time before he starts to throw few connecting punches that could surely hurt the favorite.
