Well its not good to put a verdict towards this fight since we see great fighters lose on unexpected match up so even if Gaballo is underdog here he's still young and a knockout artist so provably he can give a good fight and problem in the camp of Donaire. But let see on this on who will win among them since its good to see if the young soul win or the proven champion will take win easily.

True it's not good to put a verdict because we don't know who will win, but if you are betting on this game, at least make sure you analyze carefully on who got the advantage so you can put your bet, that's the nature of gambling, we always claim our bet will win so we will be confident to win when watching the fight.
It's typical for fans to have their verdict already as they speculate a match. I think this is pretty normal for the side of the fans but it's true that we should have judged a match that hasn't happened yet.

These two are good boxers and we don't know what's waiting for them and also for us as we wait this to happen. Many speculations and scenarios are building on our minds and I think that's really normal.

It's really normal and it should not hurt someone if we speculate not in favor of his favorite fighter. We are gambling, we make an early judgment based on the past performance of a boxer, and only the outcome of the fight will tell if we are wrong or right with our speculation. Actually, it gives more fun and excitement if we have our own speculation of a certain fight as we can debate based on our knowledge.  Smiley

Wish me luck "mga kabayan".
What site you are placing your bets? Curious and interested to try that platform as well and maybe I can still ride since more games to go before this season end.
That's Bitsler.com, I'm also using the site ever since they have a sports betting attached to the platform.
it's good because the limit is low, so it's good for gamblers who have a small budget in sports betting.

The downside is you cannot do a price boost unlike in Sportsbet.  Smiley

Anyway, Magnolia have to win because if TNT takes the lead it will be hard for them to recover though of course we know how good Magnolia team are, this is an exciting finals seriously, a big surprise not to see the top seeded teams. Btw, good luck on your bets have fun!
Looks like the line will remain the same as it's not moving anymore, it will settle at +4 and this is already a good handicap if you are in favor of Magnolia to win.

Take note though that Caraballo is not a one punch ko artist. If you have to look at his highlights, it's almost a accumulation of punches that makes his opponent go down.
Carlos Caraballo is an upcoming young talent with full of confidence and i think Jonas Sultan is the biggest test of his career. In lower weight divisions you cannot expect everyone to be a knockout puncher, accumulation of punches will do the job.

One thing that will go for Sultan is that he is somewhat awkward and this could throw Caraballo a bit as he is a southpaw. There might be clash of heads here, just saying.
Carlos Caraballo won all of his fights via knockout and Jonas Sultan has never being knocked out in his career, there is no doubt that the skills of Carlos Caraballo will be tested in this fight.

Gonna be a good fight, though I'm looking forward to see the battle of experience here, Jonas Sultan has more experience than Caraballo and the fact that he hasn't been KO'd his whole career makes me actually curious on how the fight is gonna go, Carlos Caraballo on the other hand has an advantage when it comes to age and the fact that this kid has made quite some highlights with  how he knocks his opponents out is something to watch out for, who knows? maybe this will be Sultan's first knockout?

Hard to see how this fight will turn out, a experience Sultan and have a granite chin against a young and knock out artist in Caraballo. So it's a tough battle, Sultan's chin will be tested and this is Caraballo stepping up the plate as well.

I would say, let's see in the first couple of rounds, if Sultan become aggressive and tag by powerful punches and if he didn't go down then maybe he can win this fight. But if that chin breaks then Caraballo by knockout and the winning streak continues.

Sultan does not need to do that, he doesn't need to taste the punches of Caraballo if he can avoid them.
Caraballo has already punished his opponents in his last 14 fights and he beat them all by KO, so that would already say how strong his punches are.

Sultan is tough, we all know that but Caraballo is a different opponent, he should use his speed to avoid those power punches.

the market is currently showing a green position.  in october the position of the increase is significant and good.  I see if now the correction for this month has ended and we will look forward to the correction in the next month and for sure it will happen.  we can take advantage of the best moment
The correction next month is also uncertain, because Bitcoin is still moving upwards to this day which has also been followed by several Altcoins in a very small percentage, and if you want to buy, then look at Altcoins that have not risen in numbers so that you can be very affordable in making purchases with limited money.
It's normal for altcoins to rise as bitcoin has already achieved a new ATH, however, if bitcoin fails to break the resistance, then most likely it will go down below $60k and we will see it struggle to rise or the correction will eventually happen. It's a gamble, but based on the trend, it's always good to buy once a new ATH has just been achieved.

Time for Magnolia to fight back and equal the series, giving TNT 2-0 will bring more confidence. Wink

The odds are always the same in game 1, Magnolia is now at +4.5, so there's an indication that TNT might again win this battle.

Sanggalang could play in game 2, but how long and healthy he will be able to play.
As per the report;

2546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 20, 2021, 09:59:17 PM
~
As always, bookmakers favor the champion. However, I think there is really no favorite in this fight. Sure Crawford is undefeated, but that doesn't mean the good streak never ends. Personally, in my opinion, both of them have equal chances, but as I usually like supporting underdogs, I think I'll bet a few bucks on Porter.
In a fight everyone has the punchers chance to win the fight, but there is a reason for Terence Crawford having an undefeated record, he faced some of the top boxers in the world and his most impressive wins were against Amir Khan, Kell Brook and José Benavidez Jr and those were comprehensive victory with knockouts, Shawn Porter will be another one like the ones Terence Crawford faced and it will be another victory for him if he display the same level of skills.

I won't consider his wins against Khan (way past his prime, china chin), and Kell Brook (way past his prime, soul taken by GGG, broken orbital bone) an impressive win, Benavidez Jr, I will give him credit, but he is not even in the top 5 of the best welterweight.

That's why we have been saying that this is the first time that Crawford will be stepping up the competition, Porter is a legitimate 147 lbs fighter and an ex-champion. So he will be tested in this fight and if he win, we will give full credit.

Well said, this is one of the toughest fights of Crawford and there have been many critics on him that he cherry-picks an opponent to stay undefeated and have an easy win. This time, I know it's gonna be hard for Crawford to fight a very aggressive fighter who can pressure him all night and if they don't prepare for the style of Porter and underestimate him, then I think we will witness an upset in the fight night.

Williams lead the TNT to a win, this is nice for him as I'm sure he will be a problem for the Magnolia, no Ross anymore that would limit his offense and with this win, he will be more confident in the 2nd game. Pogoy, on the other hand, has not exploded yet, but in case Magnolia will try to focus the defense on Williams, Pogoy will surely do the honor to carry the team as only these two players are the major contributors of the team.

As we can see in the scoreboard (https://pba.ph/recap?match=1996064), Castro did not score a lot but TNT still dominated, TNT has really changed and improve as a whole.



TNT limits Magnolias offense, as we've seen the productions of key stars.

Sangalang and Abueva are not in their cheat mode, while the rookie Williams sees that there are nor Ross type player who will stop him.

First game was taken by TNT and if the same pattern to reach game 7 will be followed, the next game will be for Magnolia. Not sure if that

will be the same case as adjustment will surely happen. Magnolia needs to work it out not be left by 2 game deficits.

The defense of TNT is ready to counter the aggressiveness of Magnolia, it looks like they got the taste of their own medicine and I think they didn't expect that to happen. The fact that they have a  high turnover, that means they are pressured enough that they were not able to effectively implement the game plan, in short, it was a very bad game for them that they need to correct in game 2.

Sultan will also have to be careful as Caraballo is undefeated and has a perfect 14-0 via KO.

There are only 2 weeks from now before this fight, I'm sure both boxers are already busy with their hard training, though we don't see a lot of advertisement about this fight, I expect it to be a great fight like a fight that both boxers are willing to fight toe to toe against each other.

It would be a hard fight for Sultan against Caraballo to be honest since from the article it is stated that the undefeated Caraballo has a technically sound and powerful southpaw where his recent fights hasn't gone beyond round five. However, Sultan has a good record too that can set this upcoming fight into a hard ring fight but I think the crowd favorite on this upcoming fight is Caraballo which Sultan stands as underdog but wjo knows right, the fight is fast approaching and will reveal our speculation once the fight end.

https://www.rappler.com/sports/boxing/jonas-sultan-tangles-with-fight-carlos-caraballo-october-2021

That's the expectation of this fight because based on his record, no fighter was able to stand with him longer in the ring, so yes it's a challenge for Sultan and that would make him the underdog of the fight which we like to see as we are going to be betting in this game too, right?

Records only showed the previous fight, but it will never ascertain a win or will continue facing a new fighter who is also hungry for a win.

Another thing, Carlos Caraballo has never fought a Filipino fighter yet, so this should be a big challenge for him too.

Sultan a 'strong, experienced' fighter, says unbeaten Puerto Rican foe

That respect. Smiley
2550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 17, 2021, 09:22:56 PM
but if they are not injured then nobody will be able to stop them, not even Nets with Kyrie in it.

I doubt that at least that's not what the bookmakers believe as the NBA future betting odds are based on the chance of the team to win the championship.
As you can see in (https://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/futures/), Brooklyn Nets is the top favorite to win the title, that's considering the current status of the team and it did not change even Irving has some issue with his team that threatens to retire if he gets traded. 
2551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cardano run $200 on: October 17, 2021, 08:56:09 PM
in just the last 3 months, cardano (ADA) has skyrocketed, both in terms of price and in terms of volume, from $1.30 to $3 and now $2.
In my personal opinion, cardano is one of the coins that we can save for a long period of time.
That's for sure, but the question is, will it rise to $200 in the future?

That's x100 of the current price which has a market cap of 70,082,881,686, so this means that the market cap will also be increased to 700,082,881,686 or 28% of the total market cap now. I guess that figure is always unrealistic because I don't see ADA will surpass the market cap of ETH and Bitcoin, which means if its market cap will grow, those 2 market cap will rise as well.

@mirakal, the picture looks like the SMB have celebrated the win. I think the picture was not in the game 7 picture, it was just posted for fun.

Congrats to the TNT, they won the battle in 7 games and it's a big success for coach chot as well as TNT reach to the Finals in the same year of his come back in coaching.


Remarkable comeback by coach Chot Reyes,
Time to complete this by winning another title for TNT. There's no doubt after watching the game TNT
really gives everything and they deserve this win, SMB good start didn't last long, after TNT gained the
momentum, each player inside really plays hard and contributes.

Not only by scoring but also by moving according to each gameplay, coach Chot maximizes the rotations
and it's really showcasing brilliant minds of this coach.

Congrats TNT fans !


Kelly Williams's comeback from retirement was also a big help for the TNT roster, they have a big man who has been in many battles and in game 7 he really showed up and help the team for this big win. Now that we have a Coquangco vs Pangilinan in the PBA Finals, it will be a fair game that everyone would like to see, I hope it will be another game 7 but a more competitive or a close game compared to this series.
2553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 17, 2021, 12:33:35 PM
You're right, Nonito Donaire is supposed to be a stepping stone for young Gaballo and the Philippine boxer is not in his prime anymore given his age and his last fights.
No, we can say that Donaire is not in his prime anymore but his last fight was pretty impressive, it looks like the young Donaire has come back as his signature left hook was their and that resulted to an early KO of his opponent which was the champion that time.

So if Gaballo couldn't defeat or even get a close score against Donaire then this young boxer isn't worth it to fight closely against other champions. But if Gaballo will win, for sure there will a be lot of line-up match afterwards and there'll be a promising future new for the young boxer.
Gaballo has to KO Donaire, at least if that would happen there would be no controversy anymore and he will gain the respect of the fans of Donaire.

It seems the WBO had recently ordering boxers for a title defense but it is their right to do so, now we had Casimero VS Butler and we also have Donaire VS Gaballo, and yes this fight between two Filipino boxers is not what the fan expected to happen but I think this is a good opportunity for Gaballo if he can really shake things up and make another dent in Donaire's record, but WBO surely won't allow this fight to happen if they didn't see any potential on Reymart Gaballo's side, but I really don't expect him to KO/TKO Donaire a Decision win is likely enough for me but as you have said Gaballo needs to KO Donaire so they will not question that Gaballo would likely giving the win to Donaire, and there wouldn't be any controversies about it.

Gaballo has to win by KO, he is undefeated and most of his wins are coming from KO.

He is 24-0 and 20 of that wins are from KO, so if he beat Donaire, it will likely be a KO.
Donaire is a kind of fighter that is also aggressive, and Gaballo loves that kind of fighter as he is also aggressive as well.

Most people would believe that Donaire will win but upset could happen especially that Gaballo has never experience a lose in his life in boxing yet.

But he hasn't face a fighter like Donaire, who has a impressive resume, although Donaire lost by KO, but it was a huge guy that beat him, and he was like going up in weight.

Bantam is really Donaire's weight class, he has beaten a lot of good fighters with his brilliant left hook. And this is what Gaballo might look out, if he chases for a KO, Donaire might caught him with a good night left hook. So I would say that he should only go for the KO if he has a chance, don't chase and look for a KO in every punch.

Donaire lose once in a bantamweight championship fight, and that was against a prime Guillermo Rigondeaux who are just running when he fought Casimero. Yes, Donaire has found his place in the bantamweight and he will likely retire in this division so he will try to win and beat champions.

Get your focus now on game 7 of SMB  vs TNT.

I'm currently seeing a close game and a very defensive type of game, the scoring is low, so I think those who bet on the under are smiling now already.

Good luck, hopefully, SMB will come back in the 2nd half as that's where they are good at.


The halftime score is 45-36, 9 points lead by TNT, they have to hold on as SMB are good in coming back and winning the game. Kelly Williams is scoring with 11 points already, this is rare, so I think TNT had a great chance of winning here as they have a great start and their big man is scoring. Let's see how SMB will adjust in the 2nd half, they need a good 3rd quarter run, otherwise, they'll gas out in the 4th.

SMB failed to make an adjustment and TNT were able to continue their lead and dominate the game.

Congratulations to the TNT backers, I was expecting a close game but it did not happen, though it's not a high-scoring game it's pretty well dominated by the TNT. Fajardo did his best but was not able to get the help that he needed to fight for the team, Tautua only scored 2 points, this is a downgrade of his previous game, but no excuses, TNT deserve this win as they work hard for this from the start of the conference.

By the way, time to relax a bit while waiting for the regular season as the preseason is finally over.

The 2 games on the opening day of the regular season should be a good match to watch for.
BK vs Nets, a rematch of ECF, and hopefully Irving is available.

I would bet on the defending champion in the first game, it's their first game at home and the Nets are uncertain to have Irving playing with them, and even if Irving will play, I would still not change my decision because Bucks now is more confident since they have already won a championship. I think -1 at home is a pretty decent little spread to cover.

I don't think it's actually sad when Bitcoin crashes, all it actually takes is to be patient and wait for the next bull run, some may even take advantage of the crash and decide to invest, investing in Bitcoin while at its decline personally is the best time to invest and just watch the profit grow once the price starts to recover.
It would be easier if everyone will do the same, invest when the market is in correction so they'll be able to buy bitcoin with a cheaper value. Most newbies would rather invest when the price is pumping, that's why they got easily disappointed when the price is falling and with lacked of knowledge, they will not see that a crash would mean an opportunity to accumulate.

Steph was special tonight… Dame was out, but still. A great way to end the preseason. Now we wait for Tuesday night to see the Nets vs Bucks & Warriors vs Lakers on TNT. I’ll be watching for sure… the timing seems perfect for Bitcoin to hit an all time high then as well. Sounds like all the makings for a great evening.
What an anticipated game to start the regular season, I'll be watching these matches for sure. Well, happy for those who HODL from that $30k or below and we're really back up at the $60k. Looks like this is the best season for those who love NBA and Bitcoin, exhilarating.

Although it was preseason, but it was a Curry show all the way. The guy scored a huge amount of 41 points and took 9 rebounds. I felt like Curry was all over the court today. What a match for him! This indicates and I'm hopeful that he will have another great season, possibly maybe win them the conference? who knows? I personally am very eagerly waiting for the GSW vs Lakers game. It will be a banger of a match.

7-14 shooting from 3 point line, that's awesome but it's not special for Curry as he can make that every game he wants. He is gifted with sharpshooting ability, he will continue to score and carry the team, but if his splash brother will come back, it will be harder to guard Curry as Thompson could also do the same if he is not guarded well.

We all know how dangerous Thompson is, he can shoot a cold-blooded 3s, and many times he helps the warriors to win in a series, even if they are already down 1-3 in the series. however, the main concern of his "fan" is, if he could still be the same Klay that is one of the best 3 point shooters in the NBA and a decent defender as well.
2559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 16, 2021, 12:18:11 PM
Did Caleb Plant also watch that knockout practice video hehehe?

In all honesty I do not know much about Caleb Plant. There was a trainer who was a guest in Mike Tyson’s podcast that predicted Caleb Plant can win because he has better boxing than Canelo. @Boafeng, you are the boxing expert, do you agree Caleb Plant is underestimated and has a better chance?

I hope Baofeng will agree with me that it's Billy Saunders that have the biggest chance of dethroning Canelo but he failed miserably so I don't think Caleb stood a chance against him even if he would box and run but I think Canelo's vicious body shots would slow down and hurt Plant in the latter rounds.

Seen the practice video, oh man, if some of those hit Caleb then it's over for him.

Practice is different from the actual fight, although Canelo is exceptionally good we can never guarantee a win since Caleb would surely work to increase his chance of winning this fight. Canelo is getting better and better every time, but he is not perfect, he could also make a mistake that might cause him a defeat.

That depends on his performance as we can't just conclude that he will play as he played against TNT, what if the defense against him is more effective and he will not contribute the usual for his team, somebody has to take the trophy if SMB will indeed win the series. Anyway, it's too early to talk about that, let's just find out first who will win in game 7 of the TNT vs SMB series.
