2521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 15, 2022, 03:21:01 AM

But since Donaire is a PH representative, I will disregard any disadvantages for him and will root for him to win. A successful win and revenge on his loss against Inoue in their first fight will surprise everyone that age is just a number.

If Donaire won, another milestone in his career as the older boxer to unify 3 belts in a single division. Nothing wrong to hope for that. Smiley
I'm afraid tho, coz inoue previous fight ended in body punch again like what happen to donaire and as the matter of fact most of his fight always ended the same. so donaire need to be careful and to improve his footwork to prevent body punches, coz inoue is really a monster.

I haven't seen Donaire though being knock down or knock out by a body punch. And he himself is a good body puncher as well, to setup his shot upstairs. If Inoue sees a body opening, he will take it. But I doubt that Donaire will give him that opportunity because Donaire is more of a timing fighter. He read his opponents next move and then perfect counter with his left.

Tank admitted that he has broken his hands against Isaac so he fought him literally with one hand and still win. Gamboa is already wash fighter, so I don't consider it a great performance by Cruz. More likely it was a setup for Isaac to look great and now it paid off because he will have a chance to fight Ryan Garcia.

It's just shows that Gervonta Davis is indeed too much for Pitbull because he was literally fighting with one hand power but still lost to him, but I somehow know Davis confirmed that Pitbull got quite a hard head so that will be a challenge for Garcia as a knockout specialist if he can knockout Pitbull (correct me if I'm wrong though). If Garcia can pull a knockout victory here if incase this fight will happen then I think Garcia can somehow go for a match with Davis.

Right, but it just dawn on me that Ryan Garcia has a history of broken hands as well. So Isaac Cruz head my posed a problem for him as well. But probably if Ryan can land it perfectly, he might not suffered this injury and could score a knock out.

He has been eyeing Tank before his 'sabbatical' due to mental issues. IF he ever win against Cruz, maybe he will call Tank again but this time it could be in 140 lbs.

Unfortunately, the match will not push through anymore Sean Gibbons Isaac Cruz's manager decline for his ward to fight Ryan

Quote
Pitbull Cruz’s promoter Sean Gibbons says they already had plans to fight in August, and they have the possibility of a rematch with WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis or fight with Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero if he comes out victorious in his next contender.

Gibbons is still interested in matching a fight between Pitbull Cruz and Ryan Garcia at some point in the near future, but not now.

Ryan is disappointed that he cannot fight Isaac Cruz, his manager had a better plan, obviously, big money is involved here Gibbons knows that the fight between Tank and Cruz will be shown on Showtime PPV compared to if he is going to fight Ryan Cruz, so the potential match will have to take a backseat because Issac Cruz's handlers wants more money for his ward.

Ok thanks for the update, so they are not interested in Ryan, hmm, but it seems that Sean had plans already to wait for the winner of Tank vs Romero. Doesn't make sense though because Tank has beaten him already and the chance of Romero winning is slim.

Anyhow, for Ryan, not sure if he can still make the 135 lbs limit. I mean in his last fight against Tagoe it is at a catch weight of 138 lbs. So the kid is growing and probably will have to move to 140 lbs sooner than later.

@Kemarit handicap and not straight sets?

I have Tsitsipas ML,  Grin, odds is too tempting not to bet on him. Maybe this will be his chance to beat Djokovic who knows.

I remember that there is a tournament last year that Tsitsipas was leading, won the first set and was in the middle of the second. However, it was raining so the game has to be suspended for a couple of hours. However, when they come back, it was a different Djokovic and Tsitsipas has lost the momentum. So perhaps this might happen again but this time, Tsitsipas will have the mentality to win.

is it possible UST recovered ?

Probably, but it will take a lot of money coming from Terra to stabilized their stable coins. It lost so much value that investors thinks this is really  rug pull coming from Do Kwon and his team.

It's just really unfortunate, in the beginning it was Tether who has a bad reputation but they were able to survived and stay in the market. But with how UST and Terra has experience? I doubt though that it can recovered in short amount of time.
2525  Economy / Speculation / Re: Terra cofounder Do Kwon is the one who is pumping Bitcoin on: May 14, 2022, 04:14:58 AM
^^ Sounds very familiar to me, I mean years ago, literally decades when we have a pyramiding scheme here in our country. So lots of people started to put their money on it including high ranking police officers. And when it the scheme was about to crumble, there were reports that this general is sending policemen to the house of the leader of the scheme and harassing the family.

Anyhow, this is scary for Do Kwon and his family but not sure if the police are going to investigate or protect him because a lot of people have lost money investing on Terra, just saying.

2527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 31st South East Asian Games on: May 14, 2022, 03:13:19 AM
Actually, the country host is always on top in South East Asia based on what I remembered.
It's not always the case. For example, Singapore has hosted this event on more than one occasion but they never won. Host countries have the advantage because they're allowed to pick the sports they are strong at but topping the tournament still depends on  their athletes. The total number of delegates sent to participate also plays a big role to the results.

True, but if I'm not mistaken, Singapore when they hosted didn't put a lot of athletes as compare to other nations who hosted it wherein they have all entered every sports discipline and even have one more athletes/teams in an sport event.

And just like any other sports, the host country has all the advantage in this kind of setup. So most probably they will win the most medals. So it will just be a battle of 2nd-4th places.
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 14, 2022, 02:27:22 AM
I'm thinking of doing a parlay on both Zverev and FAA in this game.

Well, Zverev won, but I think Djokovic will beat FAA. Djokovic may not be back to his best yet, but he's still a formidable opponent... he even took Alcaraz to a tie-breaker in the final set last week! Djokovic at 90% of his best (or whatever % he's currently at) is still too much for almost everyone else on the tour. Also, FAA has a bad record against top-5 players (won 2, lost 11).

FAA lost, in straight sets, wasn't able to watch the game but by looking at the scores, it was really closed.

So most of the seeded players are going into the next round.

Another game between Zverev vs Tsitsipas, I might go with my boy Tsitsipas, haven't check the odds though, but might be the handicap bet for me.
2529  Economy / Speculation / Re: $28,000 Bitcoin price. How explain falling price to worried newbies ? on: May 13, 2022, 11:19:56 AM
The most lesson I learned when I started to hold Bitcoin is to become patient. Because if you are not, you will not be rewarded. Especially if you experienced before 2017-2018 bull run, it was around an 80% drop from ATH and after that, Bitcoin started to rise again and made $60,000 ATH again.
That's what example of a risk-taker and having patience. Expect that in cryptocurrency that volatility is high.

Not sure if this is the correct answer though, of course risk taking and patience is two emotions that will almost present if you want to be a successful crypto investors.

As for how to explain to worried newbies, well you have to tell them that of all the assets around, crypto is the most volatile, as it can go as high as 10% increase in a day and vice versa. If they can't take that, then obviously crypto is not the best for them, they could go do other assets that is stable like stocks.
2530  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [READ]: New Prynt Stealer Clipboard malware targets crypto wallets and others. on: May 13, 2022, 10:28:37 AM
The scary thing is that this clipboard malware is very malicious and the algo itself is very high and this cyber threat actors are one step head of the game.

And for us crypto enthusiast who uses our pc and laptop not just for our crypto activities it is not safe practice anymore as this kind of malware can sip in our system without us knowing it. So for me, its better to have a separate hardware, in my opinion.
2531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 13, 2022, 09:48:17 AM
^^ You can't compare though Bivol here, he is champion of Lightweight division and Canelo is the one going up in weight.

Tank admitted that he has broken his hands against Isaac so he fought him literally with one hand and still win. Gamboa is already wash fighter, so I don't consider it a great performance by Cruz. More likely it was a setup for Isaac to look great and now it paid off because he will have a chance to fight Ryan Garcia.
2532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 13, 2022, 09:28:36 AM
Was it only in PH? I was curious if there is an online cockfighting that accepted cryptocurrency, I think restriction of this kind of matches should be worldwide I think most of the rooster are dead after fighting. I mean this is way more bad than horse racing since people let the rooster fight to death.

It's because PH was the only country that is so 'inventive' during the time of pandemic that they think about online cockfighting. And it become so lucrative in the country that it affected a lot of lives in a negative way.

Cockfighting though is worldwide as far as I know so there is no argument. But PH only accepts local currency so no, they don't accept crypto.
2533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 13, 2022, 08:57:22 AM
Well guys Nadal was beaten yesterday by Shapovalov in 3 sets and Nadal has picked
up a foot injury, although not serious there has to be a big question mark over him in
a possible 5 set match or a number of them throughout the RG tournament.

Yes, this could be a huge setback for him. He was winning the match easily until the injury flared up again. It's not a new injury though, it's the one he's been struggling with on and off for some time. It seems like he can't really predict when it will affect him, and when it will be fine... so there is still a chance that he'll be fine for Roland Garros, although given how soon that is, I'd probably not have him down as one of the favourites.

I would have loved to see a fully-fit Nadal vs a fully-fit Alcaraz in France, but it may be that it's not going to happen this year.

Blessing in disguise for Nadal? I guess he really needs to take care and rest and maybe he will have a match against Alcaraz in the big stage and wanted to see both of them 100% and see how Alcaraz will fit against a healthy Nadal.

Zverev vs Garin and then Djokovic vs FAA.

I'm thinking of doing a parlay on both Zverev and FAA in this game.
2534  Economy / Speculation / Re: Terra cofounder Do Kwon is the one who is pumping Bitcoin on: May 12, 2022, 03:10:42 AM
^^ Well if this is true then probably this is well planned by Do Kwon on whoever is behind Terra and it's stable coin.

They have a history already and it seems that they have a blue print so they just follow it to the T and make a perfect cover up in the beginning, let everyone know that they are going to pump BTC, giving false hope and now it is crumbling bring down bitcoin with them.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: May 12, 2022, 02:22:36 AM
^^ ML for Davis might not be a good idea to bet to. Maybe the range or if Davis will score a KO is a higher odds.

Romero is good, but maybe he bite more than he could chew in this fight. Davis has been knocking out/down his opponents recently and he has been in the 135-140 capturing belts. So it will take a lot from Romero to score a upset win, but who knows, this kid is really good that's why Floyd wanted to test him out against Tank.
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 12, 2022, 01:48:11 AM
He can go up in weight, win the belt and hopefully Inoue too will go up, so the clash might happen in the future.
That will happen if Casimero and Inoue will become champions in the same weight class.
As soon as Inoue is done collecting all the belts, he will be like Canelo Alvarez that will go up in weight.

But for now, Casimero will have to work his way to be the challenger to the belt. If he chooses to stay in bantam, then maybe he will be rank as number 1 so who knows, he might get crack at Butler and get back his belt. But that is base on WBO, if they still want Casimero and allow him to fight and force the hands of Butler and his management.
So much job that has to be done for Casimero, but letting go and accepting what happen is a good start.
There are many possibilities that both of them have, but I think more about a fight in the future where they have more weight, I know that Casimero's case is totally unrelated, but we have to bring them here to see the relevance of the facts that we can see if these scenarios they happen, for me it's a good thing, I always want to see good boxing, and what better than to see these sports artists, not only for me but for many fans who want to see the best, and I think that Inoue appears among the best For me he is a very complete boxer and he has a lot to give, this is really getting good.

I will just make it short though, Casimero is good but I wouldn't say that he is a complete fighter.

As for whoever wins between Donaire and Inoue, we all know that Inoue will be the favorite, but Donaire is the only fighter we've seen the comes close to beating him. So he still has a fighting chance it ever he plays a perfect game plan against Inoue in their fight. And if by chance Donaire wins, I think there will be a final match, a trilogy.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 12, 2022, 12:43:57 AM
In the women's side, we will see Swiatek duke it out against Azarenka. This could be a good match in the first set and then probably Swiatek winning it easy in the second, -5.5 for Iga.

Sabalenka vs Pegula, I like the chances of Pegula and since she is the underdog, I will put a medium bet on him ML 2.2.
2538  Other / Off-topic / Re: Buying cheap second hand gaming machine risky ! (being dumped after Corona) on: May 11, 2022, 09:56:55 PM
Not just the looks outside, but let me tell you an experienced I have buying 2nd hand laptop, (not for my crypto activities just for my kids, sort of gaming laptop).

So everything looks ok from the outside, but I didn't check the audio or sound of it. So there is some issue obviously and obviously I want to replace the sound card. When I open it up, it was not only screwed by the previous owners tampered it with some sort of glue. So I have to go the professionals to have it fixed.

Of course, the risk is there, and if you wanted to buy a second hand to be used for crypto, then it's better to format or buy a new hardware.
2539  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bearish market continues? on: May 11, 2022, 07:23:48 AM
As of now, I would not be surprised if the price of Bitcoin would continue to fall and would lose hold of the $30,000 level. I admit that was unimaginable for me in the past weeks, but now it seems it is happening any day or hour or even minute from now. Right at this very moment, the price is just barely holding on to $30,000. It could fall any time from now.

The main reason for this could be whales or large holders but the ensuing dips could be caused by panic selling of small time holders.

Most likely it will be the small retail investors who have been selling off in the last week that causes the price to plunge in the $30,000 level.

Whales do might be controlling or manipulating it from behind, and they are the one putting a selling pressure. Anyhow, it is what it is, we definitely have to face the reality that the price is free falling right now.
2540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ELI5: What happened to UST and why it happened? on: May 11, 2022, 03:05:01 AM

Peg broke due to UST having a huge bank run, with people selling the UST for other stablecoins (hence pushing down the price of UST). Now for the peg to be restored to $1, Luna Foundation Guard had to liquidate a crap ton of bitcoin on their reserves just to push UST back to $1, further pushing down the downward pressure on BTC.

And it is still far from 1 $, it is now 0.90

I believe those kinds of events are healthy for the ecosystem. It exposed to everyone that some parts of the DeFi ecosystem are not really safe.

I hope similar projects will be wiped out soon. Anyone holding Luna after this tragedy should be really rethinking the fundamentals of such investment.
In the middle term, bitcoin won't be affected by this event.

And when we thought that Luna putting money in Bitcoin was a good idea, it really back fire on them and has affected the price of BTC.

I recalled one thread about it and now it come to realization the Terra Luna Foundation has made a big mistake on trying to hedge it's billions to BTC.

But yeah, I agree, this might be a short term effect, but since we are in a bearish cycle now, it is just magnified on the massive effect to Bitcoin market.
