2501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going for the Underdog or Not? on: October 27, 2021, 11:14:14 AM
I'd go for the underdog.

They generally have better expected returns because people like to back the favourites the majority of the time.

If it was an inconsequential amount of money anyway, I'd want the most possible returns possible. No point going for a surebet which has next to zero upside in this instance.

Better to try to see if luck will permit you to win. If you don't have anything to look back, then it's luck that you can depend.

WHo knows maybe the timing for betting with the underdog is good enough, as long as you have a good idea or knowledge about the
team or player that you'll going to go all in.

If you win, that will be sweet to continue playing while if you lose, you can take your rest and winds up to clear your mind.
2502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ethereum reach $5,000 by 2021? on: October 27, 2021, 10:54:57 AM
It's undeniable that the launch of Ethereum 2.0 could have a good impact on ETH at the moment, and hopes of hitting $5k this year are still wide open, as ETH is now at $4.2k , if the market continues to be bullish until the end of 2021 slowly but surely ETH can reach $ 5k.

The chance still widely open as ETH also gaining attention even with the high fees.

The market still moving positively and if this bull continues hitting $5K is not by far, supporters knew that once the demands from big
investors come up, the rise will be bigger and the target will increase more.

ETH even having a lot of competitors still getting wide support from old and new investors, those who are conservative and aiming
for long term are most likely the one who keep investing to this coin.

If AD and LeBron both miss the next game, the Lakers will most likely to have -2.5 again against the Thunder.

I would still take that -2.5 as the Lakers even without Lebron and Davis is still better than the OKC IMO.

Now that Westbrook already had the best game so far as a Lakers, I trust him to carry the team to another win against OKC.
Westbrook scored, 33 points, that's a huge improvement compared to his previous games, hopefully, this will continue but I also like to see Lebron and Davis be back soon.

And playing against his former team, the place where he starts his dominance.

Lakers most likely can cover that handicap if presented by the bookies, even without LeBron and Davis. Coach Vogel can use
his backup, having Rondo to facilitate and help Russ and both Melo and Howard to be ready when the ball rotates to them.

Still have a better chance to win against OKC even without both the core stars. Handicap or using ML for parlay might be a
good call for this game.
2504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 27, 2021, 09:59:40 AM
I still haven't found any confirmed date and month for this match. Did anyone find any legitimate source when this match is likely to happen?

I can't find any date as well, maybe they are working on the background and trying to push this fight this year at least December so that it will be a good year for boxing.

I do agree with @arwin100, the pressure will still be on Casimero's shoulder to perform and show the world that he can still knock out his opponents and face the Monster next. We don't want a boring fight like the last one. He has been in this kind of situation though, so I'm confident that Casimero will win in this fight.

Rigo is a boring fighter, not Casimero's fault if his opponent doesn't want to be aggressive and make a good counter punch.

That last fight also teaches Casimero good lesson, he should be add more patience and observe
how his opponent will bring the fight.

From that point, he will be able to plan a better strategy and a possible KO once he already
understand the characteristic of his opponent inside the ring.

The price of XRP is a fact that can continue to increase, expectations grow that it may even reach 2USD, although it is not the time to anticipate, you can also think about the opposite process, that the price falls, then you have to take the necessary preventive measures for it.


Before investing, you need to have all necessarry preventive measures in case the market will not favor you.

The point here, XRP still moving up and down though the news from SEC is not that being focused,
supporters still trying to keep the momentum and not to allow the bear to pull the value to much deeper barrier.

Placing your money to this kind of risky investment needs to accompanied by good research and understanding
from what potential this project still have to offer, more on waiting game after setting your target.
2506  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you making money online? on: October 26, 2021, 06:24:42 PM
Currently, my working time is 100% online, in addition to making money-making videos on youtube, I also do online money-making campaigns, sometimes working all day for more than 10 hours and playing games that can be invested in. make money like aixe, so everyday for me is almost 100% making money online, a month profit is about $ 250 - $ 300 depending on the month but life is stable during this covid season
That's good for you if the profit you make source is just online. There are a lot of that don't know how to earn that much and more online and if you've been consistently doing that, keep it up.

Axie is common today and a lot of people keep on investing in it.

The devs has to continue their good job and updates so that the game won't die.

There are people who continue enjoying the profits that they've gained from this game,

Even it's no longer the same from the time that the value of earnings are really huge, but as the saying said, just keep on grinding and enjoy
the profits that you are still receiving from playing the game.

Most of those early adopters are taking their profits from this online game, some established by sponsoring many scholars and now the investment provides very decent benefits to the point it's now a main source of income online.

Let's continue the win streak.  Smiley

Game: LA Clippers vs Portland TrailBlazers.

I love this game and I like both teams, however, I have to choose a team that needs a win and that is the LA Clippers. They may not have Leonard but this is the team who played very well in the lats playoffs and I like to believe that this is the time for them to get their first win.

Therefore my pick is LA CLIPPERS -3.
Interesting, Clippers lost with GSW and Memphis both are close games.

Time for them to get something and start winning. They are still playing good, even without Kawhai I personally think that
PG is really doing all his best trying to cover his partner.

While with Blazers, they are also playing great with a well balance rotation. Lilard and CJ again doing the damages.
Hard call but it's a must win for Clippers to engine up!
2508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 25, 2021, 01:42:41 PM
And to add to that, Spence is still very young and as others said, with the advancement of sports science, that detached retina can be healed 100%.

Arum is well known for throwing words out of context, because obviously, he is a promoter you wanted to hype. So I think Spence can be back again in less than a year and could chase Crawford for the biggest welterweight fight since Pacman vs Mayweather.

Very possible to happen, Spence still young and whatever injury he has now been very possible to heal without limiting him in terms of his career. We never know what's the real score here and what's the plan behind.

I see your point and if that will be arranged once Crawford wins this upcoming fight and Spence is already healed and ready to fight.  

The interest of fans will push this one. Arum will soon then collect more cash, just like how he did from all those promoted big boxing stars.
2509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Shiba Inu pumping again on: October 25, 2021, 10:15:49 AM
for some reason I'm not interested in meme coins, buy coins that in hype but don't have a strong foundation its too risky for me.
Shiba Inu more suitable for traders who want to make a quick gain profit.
but unfortunately many beginners are always be a victims and as already the meme coin will instantly collapse without any warning.


Lots of time, those people who invested with Memes are the one who complained about scam.

They invest without proper knowledge and they are really trying to make a quick money but unfortunately they are the one who fed
the scammers and make them rich.

Before you make your decision, always back it up with deep research, analyzing the market and ride with your full knowledge,
SHiba Inu can give you quick profits but also capable of sucking all your investment.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 25, 2021, 09:07:26 AM
I really understand why LBJ recruit  melo because they are same batch. But why the heck they keep recruiting veterans player like Westbrook and Jordan on there roster.
Lebron tried to recruit all his friends so they have good chemistry.

There was a rumor before that Lebron also tried to recruit his friend Chris Paul but the latter goes to the Phoenix Suns, he was traded actually, and look how successful the Phoenix Suns are now.

I think if I have to choose between Westbrook and CP3, I believe CP3 would fit to the Lakers roster as long as he brings the ball, he has a high IQ and he can certainly make plays to make everyone better.

Imagine, CP3 being the main PG and Rondo as a backup PG, how do you think would it go? lol

That an awesome setup, both Rondo and CP3 have the mentalities to work with the team,

Russ needs to adjust more, still not working the way it should be. Lakers take their first win a very close game. Not good because all their 3 superstars need to play long minutes.

I was thinking that after acquiring Russ we will not see LeBron playing longer than 30 mins. But he still playing almost the whole game.
He is not young. If Lakers continue to use him like this, he might endanger his health. The season still far and has a long way before it ends up.
2511  Economy / Economics / Re: Are banks needed for crypto? on: October 24, 2021, 06:42:59 PM
In terms of features that DeFi projects and Banks has, the twi has similarity. However, the collaterals are different. When you borrow in banks, you need physical assets like cars, houses or even property lots. In crypto, you also needs collaterals which is crypto assets that you have. My point is that, banks are institutions that has centralised system. It has vulnerabilities and strengths that rely on old monetary system. DeFi in the other hand is the future of banking. No more intermediaries. Only smart contract. So in short, crypto does not need banks. Banks needs crypto.

The sole purpose of crypto is to be your own bank if I'm not mistaken?

With the way you explained your side, there are similarities since both need collaterals, but banks still got the advantage since it
was the first option since many are relying with centralized system

But in due time, when more people embrace crypto, the advantages will be slimmer. DeFi is introducing how crypto will help
and for those who will take time to understand will enjoy the benefits.
2512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance promoting Shiba Inu on: October 24, 2021, 06:21:56 PM
For a coin meme like Shiba it does have an amazing following, even now Shiba Inu has been pumped twice since yesterday. Indeed, seeing the progress of shiba Inu is quite interesting and a little trying to shift the existence of the Doge which at that time had been massively discarded. With the emergence of Shiba Inu, it is clear that this is a new target for investors, and many have made huge profits from selling shiba.

Because Shiba Inu is a meme coin, of course, hype chasers must be careful and always put profit first before big dump are carried out.

I agree, it's more on the benefits, binance see that this coin still hot and they can gain more

money from traders who are supporting this coin,  they are willing to work it out and earn from this coin.


here i don't think binance specially promoted shiba inu, it could be highlighted from binance side and it can be for others hype coin not only for shiba inu because when shiba inu price was damn increased and binance homepage shiba is top traded coin and binance said that about. i don't see special thing there.


The money that flows from this coin are being enjoyed not just by those who hypes the project but more with Binance,

they are the one who manifested a lot of money from the this coin whatever the case.
2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 24, 2021, 05:06:23 PM
The main reason why Casimero can choose not to fight is the pot money which is very small, but does not say anything that this fight would not happen, so expect that we will see this fight.

I think even with small pot money (or how much pot money is considered as small) Casimero will still take it no matter what. In this fight against Butler, it's mandatory so whatever the purse, no choice but to comply. The high purse only happened in an arranged bout especially if that's a title match. Casimero just needs to finish all the assigned boxers to him to climb the ladder and a possible matchup with those.

In case of a win on the upcoming fight against Butler, I think WBO will allow Casimero's camp to continue arranging the fight with Naoya Inoue. My projected financial split for that fight will be 60/40 in favor of Naoya Inoue.

And he will be stripped on the belt is he chooses not to fight because of the pot money is very small, although majority of it will still goes to his pocket.

So it's not gonna sit well with the organization, Casimero is their champion, they have to represent him and fight his mandatory even in the money in the table is very small. So I would say that he has no choice but to follow the mandatory fight rule.

Just need to take it and win in a much convincing way to attract more fans,

Forget about the money and think about long-term effect if keeps winning all the fight in case there are more mandatory
fight to come for him.

Fighting to earn more fame and glory, that's how a fighter supposed to be when you want to move up and create your
destiny, Casimero still young and still lots of time to build more popularity.

^ Bucks seem to be in great form so far. Though the season is long a good start can go a long way. Players will be motivated enough for the following games. Giannis was phenomenal this game. I wish he could complete his triple-double but still, he was so close. The guy did everything. He scored, he made his teammates score, he made space for them also he was very good in the defense. Also, those are some very well taken 3 pointer attempts from McDermott but it was not enough for them to win.

Giannis already matured he is not forcing anymore but rather, he makes sure that his teammates are all involved,

A good sign for the former MVP to reclaim the season title, still too far and a long season to watch, but with him playing like this
the chance of Bucks to defend the title is really high.

There are many teams to compete with but the current champ is not just going to give it up that easily, they are working more
harder now to make sure that they are still capable, repeating it again.
2515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 24, 2021, 01:57:07 PM

He is the favourite to win the MVP this regular season, so I'm not surprised if he pulls it off. Hopefully though his Dallas can at least go to the finals in the West, very tough division though, so let's see.
If he continues playing solid like this, the chance of banking that regular season MVP would likely to take place. A young talented
star who still has a lot to offer. Hopefully, he won't get any major injuries.

As for the Bulls, the chemistry is already there, Ball, DeRozan and Caruso are really playing solid. And Lavine doesn't really need to push hard every game as someone besides him can produce more point. He just need to be there every game as the glue for the team. Hopefully they can go and bounce to the playoff this year.

I like how they are playing, not that much for Lavine. He got a big bro behind with DeRozan. Bulls are doing great sharing the basketball

without any problem. Hopefully, this kind of mentalities from all of them will continue and bring them to the playoff.
2516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero - December 5 on: October 23, 2021, 06:07:05 AM
I don't want to compare him to AB though, Broner is trash and once he tasted defeated, he was never the same again. And as if he can't take a L in his career and wanted to be the next Floyd but it didn't happen.

Rolly has the power to back up his talks, but early in his career it seems "to bite off more than one can chew". You can't just trash talk his way against Davis because he is the B-side here.

On their face-off, I thought Romero is very much taller than Gervonta but he is only three inches taller than Gervonta compared to Barrios who is 5 inches taller, I don't know what Romero is saying that Davis can't get in because he is so small when in fact he's been beating fighters taller, longer and powerful than Gervonta, but one thing I like about Romero is how he sells the fight by making people believe that he can beat Gervonta, Rolly and his trainers are taking to much on what they can chew they are all talks.

I also thought that he is somewhat taller, but I will say that they are almost the same height, maybe because of the shoes and the coat that he looks like taller that Davis, but he is not. And that's Tank strength in my opinion, people are talking about his height and they they underestimate him. Just like Manny Pacquiao's previous opponent, they say he is midget and only have the left hand. But he all give them a brutal beating.
If you speak taller, yes Romero is taller than Tank. And that's no excuse because we look at the history of Manny Pacquiao who was small but capable of beating taller and bigger opponents.
and the problem of taller height is always a reason to be underestimated and believed to be an opportunity to win, in fact technique and hand strength and speed will mean more in the ring, and Tank has a dangerous left hand.
Speed and determination to win. Height advantages are a plus but not a guarantee, like how you mentioned Pacquiao.

during his prime, He's not afraid of anyone even the opponent is way taller than him as long as they are fighting in same division
that fight is okay with Manny, same deal with other fighters.

It's a good inspiration beating opponent who's good at trash talking, fans will really buy the fight and will enjoy once
Davis beat Romero inside the ring.
2517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 23, 2021, 05:27:05 AM
This Lakers vs Suns game is getting hard to watch. The Suns have started flat out disrespecting the Lakers vets and making them look like old men out there. Even the fans are getting in on the act now with a court side fan being removed for messing with Rondo. LeBron checked out of the game and doesn’t seem like he wants to be out there. The new look Lakers aren’t looking so hot thus far…

I pretty much thought watching the Celtics play was the worse thing that could happen tonight, but men this is worse... Westbrook, LeBron and Anthony Davis getting schooled like the odds weren't before the game.

I guess it's going to take a while before these three (AD, Westbrook, and LeBron) would learn to play together, and the body language of LeBron in the 2nd half so far has been a big NO for me,from complaining about almost everything to not joining his teammates up court during transitions.

I didn't watch the Lakers vs Suns, but the Celtics vs Toronto is worst as well.

Celtics can't buy a basket, Tatum missing a lot of shots and what shut out the whole game.

Gary Trent and Scottie Barnes are playing with the Celtics defense. And worst they are the favourite to win against the Raptors in their home court. What a disappointing lost and for the fans as well.
A real disappointment unlike with Lakers who try to bounce back in the last quarter,

But they've lack out of time, those 3's from Melo and LeBron gives them a chance to cut the lead to a single digit, not sure why Rondo needs to sit for the rest of the game, Coach Vogel should take Russ instead of Rondo.

Lakers cores still not jiving well, need more practices and system that will give them good chemistry inside the court.
2518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 23, 2021, 05:01:24 AM
I remember that Keith Thurman commented about his analysis for the two boxer. Thurman has a lot of experience facing Porter in the ring and he is biased on his analysis. He has a point on all of his comment about the different on skills for Crawford to Porter but this is still boxing and a boxer can formulate a counter for a formidable opponent just like what Marquez did to Pacquiao during there final fight. I think Thurman comment has a mixed emotion because he still didn't faced Crawford and yet he is downgrading much Porter just because he defeat it before. Maybe he is jealous for not facing Crawford.


He's pointing his opinion and it shouldn't be treated like that,
not because you beat the person automatically, you can downgrade his capacity.

Porter is an aggressive type of fighter, but if he will manage to convert, Crawford will be at risk.
But for sure Crawford's camp also reviewing those previous fights from Porter and analyze to where to find the advantages.

All those opinions and speculations will be concluded after the fight.

Stephen Curry will be the greatest shooter of all time. It's just that some old NBA fans that witness the greats of Ray Allen, Reggie Miller etc. will not agree.

They can't accept that there's someone from new era that will pass these legends. They should appreciate that as Stephen Curry worked on that. He started from scratch and successfully changed the way games were played in NBA since the time he entered the league, the big man was dominating and it's hard to scored from inside.
With that mentality, we can consider old pal who also contribute the name of Jerry West and Larry Bird will surely to comes up.

But for us who witness greatness in terms of deadly shooting capabilities, Curry changes the tempo of this league, bringing that style
Where he managed to shoot far from the rainbow arc. Curry inspired new young stars to shoot from a far and now more and more players are doing the same.

Curry is now the name when we talk about the greatest outside shooter.
2520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Issue of fixed Matches on: October 23, 2021, 03:18:52 AM
Coaches, players, and team owners consent to match fixing that’s for sure, because match fixing wouldn’t happen in the first place if there are no insiders involved in the bets. Most of the time, they do these on leagues that don’t really matter, but still is a hype one yet the profit that they get from winning the games aren’t really something compared to the potential profits that they can get on match fixing. I certainly would bet on such matches in a heartbeat if I do have the insider information, though a part of me thinks that it is wrong and unethical, but whatever.
^ For sure they also get paid for this kind of fraud.
I heard on boxing before that there is a match-fixing and also in NBA there is a match-fixing in order to continue the series longer.
I don't know how they manipulate such games but I think for now it is rare that there is match-fixing, players have their dignity and fighting with their own reputation and I don't think this is very common to happen. I could probably be unethical because there is no proof about this, because it could be a serious case if ever someone caught.

As long as no investigation happened, a suspected fixed match will always remain a suspected one and we as a viewer can't do something about it. Just continue to support that league because I think, majority of the matches are still played fairly and fixed matches just happened not on a regular basis.

We can't do something about it after all.

Fixed match, sadly, is being part of any sport, but like what you have said,

suspected one without any proven investigation will continue to be as unresolved issue.

Just be furious and observant if you still wanted to bet or if you still wanted to support
teams or players from the league there are still good matchup that ain't affected by any fix matches.

Bet as a fan, so you'll have a good hint about the team / players that you are betting with.
