That's not new, it has been a scammer's playground ever since, and even if some investors have learned their lessons in the past, we still have the new investors who are just hyped with the crypto market being bullish now and failed to do due diligence in choosing a project to invest. Verifying the project is very important and I think there's a lot of morons in the space as this project was able to steal millions of dollars from investors.

I read some news popped up on my social media account, and it says that Japeth Aguilar will stay with Ginebra despite the offers from B-League. I think every one is getting an offer, especially the big man in the PBA and we will likely hear more news that a new player had already signed with B-League.

Maybe our performance during the international competition made the Japanese realize how good our talents were.

If Christian will leave after this season, who might replace him as their center?
2443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 21, 2021, 09:44:51 PM
I am checking my Facebook and suddenly this appears on my wall. how true it is?

For me, I would rather see Christian playing in B-League rather than staying on his team that he is only criticized by the fans. In B-League, it's more competitive and the most important thing is the salary is way bigger than what he is making with the PBA.

GGG   - 19 (100%)
Murata   - 0 (0%)
Draw   - 0 (0%)

The boxing community in this forum still trust Golovkin's power, old but still pack a powerful punch, a boxer is judged on his last fight and we have seen him still good in his last fight, I think the Canelo fight that we all hope for will not happen anymore because Canelo is moving to Cruiserweight, but he still can unite all the belt in his division like what Canelo has done.
Yes, Canelo already decides to move up and there's no chance to see them together inside the ring, no more rematch.

I also see that most if not all the readers are in favor of GGG, his fighting strategy still fresh with the fans, he can continue for some more
fights after this, got to move and keep winning while he still has that stamina.

More fights for him means more money before the retirement, that's how practical he needs to be now.

Yes, though this fight isn't that big, but in Japan, it's already a big fight because Murata is very popular in his country. And I think GGG was offered a big amount of money to fight a Japanese fighter. Also, I think it's not his fight yet because although he is on retirement age, as long as he keeps winning, he can at least have 2 or 3 fights with an opponent that could potentially match his boxing skills.

I just read the news that Klay Thompson has started full practices with the team and the Golden State Warriors will have him in uniform playing games before Christmas. This team is going to be scary if he comes back anywhere close to where he was when he got injured. The thought they still have another starter in Wiseman that’s due back soon...
I'm happy with that news and hopeful that Thompson would not fail us, I understand the excitement because Warriors has a good season so far, they are the number 1 team now and with the addition of Thompson (which is a great shooter), and Wiseman, would make this team more dangerous.

Quote
and I’m starting to think the Warriors might have another shot at reigniting their dynasty.
I would definitely like to see that because GSW is a humble team, and Curry is also making his own legacy. Excited with this!

We have good game tomorrow like the Clippers vs Mavericks. It's gonna be like a playoff matchup and these two teams will never forget their experience in the playoffs especially the Mavericks because they let the Clippers come back to beat them in game 7.

If the Mavericks still do not have Luka, then it's an evenly matched game since the Clippers has not Leonard also.

Anyone betting on the Clips to win?

Luka is questionable to play per report.

Quote
Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) is questionable for Sunday vs. the Clippers.
Luka has missed two games in a row, but for what it's worth, coach Jason Kidd said he was "hopeful" to have him back in the lineup this weekend. Jalen Brunson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis will be popular DFS plays if Luka misses another.

https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/basketball/nba/player/30574/luka-doncic

I suggest you just wait and see the actual game before you put your bet, or wait for the official announcement whether he would play or not. But regardless, the Clippers still have an edge because they are playing at home and they have a decent record at home.
2447  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: November 21, 2021, 12:24:28 PM
A trainer as great as Eddie Reynoso and a boxer as great as Canelo knows the extend of what they can do and they know how to do it, they both know that they can beat Makabu they already scout him, they don't just pick a guy to fight, they know they have a very good chance beating him, Makabu is good and a hard puncher but he can only beat Canelo if he can catch him clean with a solid punch, but the big question can he do that against Canelo, Makabu posted that he will knock out Canelo, he can do that if he can connect, but he must first find a way to make it happen, with Canelo that's easier said than done.

Absolutely true, for sure the camp of Canelo had already assessed Ilangu Makabu before they accept the offer of before they finalizes their decision. Canelo is a great fighter in his recent division and I believe that even he might go up in step ahead from his division he will perform the same skills inside the ring however, of course we also knew that the quality and kind of fighters line up in the higher division was also a great fighter, so I think it would be a fight that Canelo will be challenge.

I believe in Canelo, there's nothing I would doubt on him but he is not in his division, he will be facing a heavy fighter with a great KO power. Of course, the majority of the fans would go for Canelo as he is the popular boxer, but we don't know what Ilunga Makabu can do against Canelo which is smaller than him.

NFT are very popular now so probably it's overhyped. Also, we are in a bull market so anything new will easily sell, and though there are NFT's that are really good for the long term I believe just like other projects, ICO, IEO and etc, only few will survive as the rest are just joining the hype hoping they could sell and scam investors.
People mostly think of NFTs are something bind with games that is untrue. With NFT, you can mark the ownership of anything from game items to financial reports, medical records or arts.

Therefore, I meant NFTs have very wide area of use cases and this will help this trend last even after the bull market. I don't think NFT will die or disappear like PoS and Masternode or ICO. There will be more successful NFT projects than any trend in the past.

Don't forget the Metaverse trend is coming with ETH, Facebook and perhaps more Big techs will join.

That's what some investors do understand about NFT, it's more on a play-to-earn game that's why it's so hype, but the hype does not really stay forever because only those projects with continuous development and good plans are on their future will survive and be successful.
2449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 21, 2021, 09:29:26 AM
Great win by Crawford, it was a tough competition for him but he proved to the world that he is the best in the division and better than those who previously beat Porter as he was the only one who knock Porter in his entire career in boxing. Also, good job for those who bet on Crawford to win by KO, especially those who predicted what round the KO will happen.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: November 20, 2021, 09:49:10 PM
About the script, it's just speculation because we think an exhibition fight could be scripted, and no way anyone aside from the fighters or the management would know what the script is or there will be a script. On the other hand, it's not a problem for the Bookies even if there's a script or none because they will only take the bet from both sides and earn from commission whoever wins.
The probability of a match involving Mike Tyson to be scripted is highly unlikely, i do not think Mike Tyson will dance around with Logan Paul and shake hands and say fair exhibition. If there is any possibility to knock Logan Paul i am sure Mike Tyson will take the opportunity and knock him out and ask to stay in his lane and never ask for an exhibition fight against legendary boxers Cheesy.
All are simply our own speculation, but this is an exhibition fight, just like a Wrestling match, a script could exist.

Well, I don't see Mike Tyson has knocked out anyone yet in an exhibition fight, so I would continue to believe that they will follow the script or agree that no one should be knocked out here as it's very dangerous for a fighter to get KO, dangerous for Tyson because he is old, while dangerous to Logan Paul as he is not really a professional boxer.
2451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: November 20, 2021, 09:08:10 PM
~snip~
What do you think about the statement of Kambasos that Lopez was scared of him?
^ That is a part of could it be their marketing plan, throwing such statement to get people interest and can able to support them not even inside the ring. Let us see if where Kambosos it goes, Lopez still have a great experience and I think that is not a reason that Loez will lose at this fight and it seems the fight is near, it should be next week and I hope I can able to see their fight on a live channel or any platform services they have used.
However, do you know a gambling casino that has an alive show one on this event, take note just for free?

Yes, that's exactly what I think. Every boxer who has an upcoming fight will find a way to sell the fight, whatever they say is just to promote the fight and we should not take it personally because these are not only good fighters, they are also good businessmen. With the huge money they can make in PPV if more people will buy the subscription, of course, they'll try to hype it a little bit more, and the fact that this fight has been cancelled many times, it's just understandable that Kambasos will not allow it to be cancelled again.
2452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: November 20, 2021, 08:27:34 PM
With the fight that is less than a week to finally come, I think we should bump this thread.

What do you think about the statement of Kambasos that Lopez was scared of him?

Quote
‘He’s scared of Kambosos’
Kambosos’ upcoming opponent Teofimo Lopez wasn’t spared the Aussie star’s fury - with Kambosos insisting the American had been running from their matchup.

He believes that it’s not just him, but also other fighters, that think Lopez is avoiding the fight.

“You’ve got the undisputed 140 pound champion of the world Josh Taylor in a recent interview saying, ‘I think he (Lopez) is scared of Kambosos, I think he fears him’. And obviously, Devin Haney said the same thing,” Kambosos said.

And obviously, even if the Warriors won the game, it didn't cover the handicap. But it's all good, there's a lot of games that I can recoup that losses, it's just one game.
What was the handicap when you put your bet?

AFAIK, the handicap was -2 Warriors when it was announced that 4 players from the warriors' roster will not play, and that's including Curry.
The Warriors won by 3 points so if you put your bet on the Warriors, you'll still win the spread.

What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?
This is one of the best season of Curry and his performance is superb, not only that, the impact to the team is always good as the Warriors are currently sitting at the top now, so no doubt that Curry could win another MVP award as long as he keeps himself healthy this season.
It's now Curry - 1st, Durant - 2nd, Giannis - 3rd, Jokic - 4th, Doncic - 5th.
A big change from what was expected before the season starts where Luka Doncic was on the top. But I am still waiting for the Luka Magic. He is still there and may need to just step up his game a little bit when he comes back from his ankle injury. Average of triple-double with his points at 20-30 per game. Although, if he really wants to win the Season MVP race, he will need more than that. Because Curry is trying to lengthen the gap between them with his monster games.
Luka is quite less productive now because KP is doing better this season. He is sharing the ball with his fellow star player on the team and that's why they are also winning. I like that way as it's very important in the playoffs that both of them have a good chemistry since the team relies on them to win.

Insurance and investment at the same time, that amount of money might grow in value in the long run as the adoption continues. However, it could also be risky as the value could drop knowing how volatile the market is and how the whales are still in control to manipulate the market. It's more like a publication or something but anything involving bitcoin announced by influential people would only result in hype which would help to build a stronger future for the crypto market.

Honestly, there's not much difference in setting up a fiat for insurance and bitcoin, so it's not really huge news that would call the attention of the people.

Fastest blockchain to handle transactions?  I guess I would go with XRP as based on my experience it's the fastest, your transaction will be confirmed in a second and the transaction fee is also cheap.

Tectum blockchain is probably new in the market because it's not listed yet in https://coinmarketcap.com/.
2459  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it is safe to buy coins that are only listed on one small exchange? on: November 18, 2021, 01:24:49 PM
I want to start investing in early projects, and I want to ask if you buy coins on small exchanges? Is it safe? And to what extent are such exchanges protected from hacker attacks?

I am interested in such coins as nwc, cdt and mana, what do you think of these projects? Should you buy these coins?


Most of the coins that are listed in small exchanges are not safe, why? because their listing fee is cheap, therefore the scammers can afford to get their project listed. Small exchanges have not built a good reputation yet, so most probably they don't conduct a thorough investigation before listing a coin as they could always tell us that they don't dictate the price movements of a certain coin.

Although I'm not saying buying coins in small exchanges is bad, just always remember that the risk is high on non-reputable exchanges, but if you are lucky to buy a gem, it will certainly give you a decent profit.

Cavs seems to have a fighting chance against the Nets or is it just the Nets are having another bad day?
That third quarter was when the Cavs almost got near the lead and I saw Harden being really bad at his position as point.
You can see obvious dimes that was always intercepted by the guy defending him. I think Coach Nash should change some of his strategies.
Harden should not always handle the ball whenever he is on the floor. Mix it up to lessen the turnovers. Make him shoot more.


If they only have Irving playing, Harden does not need to carry the ball.

Harden was effective in handling the ball but since he cannot anymore fish a lot of fouls, his production has already been affected.
What's important in that game is that the Nets won, they have some struggle within the game but they still finish it strong, and by the way, don't forget that the Cavaliers is also a decent team this season.
