Looking at the standings, for Utah Jazz, they're always like this during the early games up to the playoffs but can't manage to land in the finals. Hopefully by this season, we may see some teams like them going to the finals.

But it's a different team now, they have almost disbanded the team that always fell short in the playoff. And it seems that it rejuvenated the team itself. But it's too early to say how they will fare in this season. They could pull a surprised and make the playoff.

There's nothing to lose for the Jazz even if they'll have an 1st round exit in the playoffs. Getting to the playoffs is already a big achievement and I'm pretty sure the management will be happy with their young rosters, and of course, they will eventually improve in the seasons to come if they will keep their players and add more role players.

With the current performances of Jazz, the management might consider the rebuilding as successful.

Though still early from this season and maybe they will be contented if ever the team manage to move to the next round,
the current your roster is doing great and the chemistry between players is really blending well.
I can say that even they might choke again during the next round. It is safe to say that they are not
composed of stars who are really capable of winning a series.

Not yet to be labeled as a successful in rebuilding the team because they are still one the process, the team is not that yet complete, IMO. But the most important thing is that they're currently on the process and that's much better because so far, the team is receiving some good results from that rebuilding they started, and the current roster is already impressive considering that most of these players doesn't have that much experience.

is the vote real? that is landslide? voting 19 out of 20 for casimero ? is this how popular this boxer in our days now? well I also voted for him and i love it seeing another Filipino Boxer to take step forward to what Manny Pacquiao had already attain.
but the problem here is that about Casimero having no activities these past months , maybe he needs more exposure and open training for more popularization , this will add confidence for Him to win this fight.

That is for sure, did you expect the opposite thing? Grin kidding!

That is expected because Casimero is more famous than Akaho, I bet this is the first time we've heard Akaho's name in this forum and if you look on Akaho's history and credentials, you'll know that he is more of a local boxer rather than international type. Both of them wanted this fight, Casimero is fighting to redeem his name after all he experienced recently and Akaho is fighting to get the exposure he needed as Casimero will be his key to have a profitable fights in the future.

Good point, yes both boxers will benefit winning against each other, for Casimero, Akaho might present a tough fight for him in his new division. And in paper, Akaho has a good record specialy against Pinoys.

On the other hand, Akaho is trying to break into the spot, maybe just enough for him to be a legitimate contender or could have been given a chance to crack at the belt if he win against Casimero.

But in the end we wanted for Casimero to win this fight so that he will give noticed to this new division that someone wanted to enter. And then hopefully we will still see him vs Inoue in the future.

I guess Casimero is looking forward to achieve two goals in front of this Ryo Akaho, first is to have his name back in the industry and the second goal is to avenge all the Filipino boxers that Akaho defeated in the process. This is a good fight and it's not that too cherry-picked fight in my perspective because Akaho is also a decent boxer and a good test for Casimero.

Pupusta rin ako sa Bucks -3.5 @1.90 vs Nets, ganda rin nito dahil hindi pa masyadong nakukuha ng Nets yong timpla ng team kapag naglalaro si Ben Simmons na siyang nagdadala ng bola.

Congrats kabayan! Wala naman talagang duda na mananalo dito ang Bucks at masyadong pabor din ang binigay na spread ng bookies ngayon at kung tutuusin ay parang minamaliit masyado ang kakayahan ng Bucks na matalo ang Nets, kahit naman -5.5 ay matatalo parin nila Giannis si KD at Uncle Drew.

Halimaw talaga to si Giannis, biruin mo, nagtala ng 40+ na puntos at 14 rebounds. Malaki din ang tinulong ni Portis dahil nagkamit din sya ng double-double.

Parang mas gusto talaga ni Giannis na kalaban yung mga stars, parang mentality ni Kobe a ni MJ na kung saan pag sikat ang kalaban
eh gusto nya mas aangat sya,

at tama ka din kasi anlaki din ng tinulong ni Portis sa laro na to hindi man sobrang haba ng minuto nya sa loob pero ung naprovide
nyang stats talagang malaking tulong para maipanalo ng medyo malayo ang agwat sa kalaban,

sa side naman ng Nets mukhang kahit anong gawin nilang piga sa lineup nila wala talagang magawa si coach Nash hindi nya talaga
control ung magiging outcome ng laro or ung lalaruin ng mga players nya.

Syempre alam mismo ni Giannis na mas lalakas at lalaki pa ang experience niya pag ang mga nakalaban nya ay mga superstars din, biruin mo ha, dalawa na sila dun sa Nets pero mas nakakaangat parin si Giannis kompara sa kanilang dalawa. Patunay lamang yan na may maibubuga pa talaga si Giannis lalo na't may maaasahan syang iba sa kanyang kuponan, hindi sya masyadong nabibigatan at higit sa lahat ay nagagawa nya ang gusto nya.

Chaotic parin ang Nets ngayon, di ko ma imagine kung ano na ang nasa isip ni Durant ngayon. Pag nagtuloy-tuloy ang sitwasyon nila ay hindi malabong bubuhayin ni Durant ang trade request nya dahil wala syang mapapalang singsing kung nasa Nets lang sya.
2564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: October 28, 2022, 02:48:36 PM
Seeing the poll in this thread really surprised me that there's a lot here who believes that Bivol will win by a way of knockout or TKO rather than by decision and totally Bivol garnered 20 votes, 8 for that is by a decision over Ramirez's total of 10 votes. This is going to be interesting to see 10 days from now, two heavy names in the LHW contesting to fight the 3-belt holder Artur Betierbeiev if he can win his title defense fight too.

Right, maybe fans here wanted to see a Bivol vs Beterviev match in the future, unification fight in LHW. And although Ramirez is a good fighter, Bivol has the complete set of tools amongst the LHW, very quick, volume puncher and good defense and IQ too. And that's why he is a fan favorite here in our community, and his personality as well, he is not that brandish and has a sense of rumor. Remember after beating Canelo to look at Eddie Hearn and says "sorry for defeating Canelo", hehehe.

Who wouldn't want that, right? It's like people the people's eyes are already fixed to see Bivol and Beterbiev fighting for the undisputed title, they still have their own respective title defense, yet the people still wanted to see these two dancing together in the same ring. Even me, it got me excited just by thinking of it, unimaginable full-packed fight is going to happen if these two will defeat their own challenger.
But before that, I'm curious about this Ramirez because he got a nice record and history but I'm not that familiar on how he fights. I'm interested to see what he can give to Bivol.

Yes, it's clearly a duck on Crawford side, Ennis could be a good test for him, has power in both hands and rising in ranks.

I guess though he is just looking for a fight that will make him busy this year and not really to defend his belt against worthy opponents like Ennis and Ortiz Jr. Most likely the negotiations with Spence could be back next year after this fight or if Spence will go to the same route of having a get busy fight as well.

Jaron Ennis could be the worst enemy for Crawford these days because the latter haven't had any fights for almost a year now, this November marks his 1 whole year without getting a fight. Ennis is touted to be the next or much better than Terence Crawford because of his style in the ring and note that he is a knockout specialist too with a 90% KO ratio, that is why he is considered a much dangerous opponent for Bud.

Although I'm not sure why he didn't choose to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. because he is a much better opponent if Crawford just wanted to keep his shape and form before he fights Spence later next year.
2566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity? on: October 28, 2022, 10:25:32 AM
Celebrities are sponsored by product companies for a reason, because product endorsements of a notable personality whether it is from notoriety or honor works. Drake right here could be or could not be sponsored by Stake, but by all means it works so well, just the fact that we are talking about it is more than enough proof that it has broken grounds on multiple levels and is already a sentiment to how celebrity endorsements affect the laymen's way of thinking especially with stuff like best site to gamble on.
For famous celebrities, they really are effective product endorsers and that's why they worth a buck for these companies that would hire them just to mention, be partnered and give them the exposure that they need.

If my idol bets his money there you bet your bottom dollar I'm placing my bets there too.
And that's why they're doing it and very effective as their fans would follow their bets too and do the same.

I understand, either way, they are still humans who wanted to gain profits from that bets they made but we should still be careful though because we cannot forget the fact that these famous celebrities or influencers are endorsing the ones who signed their checks, they might pit us or lead us to losses. We should do our own analyzation first so that we can compare that probabilities.
2567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: October 27, 2022, 05:26:41 PM

Pacquiao will give a good lesson for DK Yoo that would make DK Yoo cry and regret what he done before, we're don't see any boxing skill from DK Yoo, IMO he's an amateur even though he's an martial art coach. Not all coach are have a good skills when he jump into a real fight, some people only can teach and share their knowledge.


I like your point mate. Not all coaches can apply that same knowledge during the fight and besides, martial art is a way far from boxing. Though for a good exposures and ticket sales, Yoo as YouTube celeb can bring viewers and ticket buyers good enough to accomplish the reason why exhibition has been made, more about the money that both sides will collect.

We will see if the event will turn into an entertaining one. It will be a good basis if Pacquiao will gain more interest from his supporters and fans all over the world.


For sure we will see DK Yoo doing some weird moves because he is not that accustomed yet when it comes to fight in the boxing ring as first of all he is not a boxer, we may see some weird lifting of legs and feet because that is what he used to do and it's hard to remove that habit as it is already etched in their muscle memory.

Pacquiao promised a good entertaining fight that the people will likely forget it is just an exhibition fight, brace yourself folks because Pacman will be returning in the ring to make some action.
2568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: October 27, 2022, 05:03:29 PM
Casimero is still too young for retirement, though I agree that Casimero has no room for a loss in this match, or else he will be another piece to the Akaho Collection of beaten Filipino boxers.

But if ever Casimero loses this match, it just shows that likely, he doesn't have the skills and power to compete at the top rankings or a title match. Casimero is 32 years old and if he will experience continuous loss, it will just put him below rankings or the worst not even considered to be assigned now on any match. It's hard to climb on rank and that will take time as we are not even sure if Casimero can average 1-2 fights per year at the point of his career.

Anyways, let's not talk about the possibility of Casimero losing here because the winning probability for him is decent. However, upset does happen but unlikely not in this match. If this really ends up with Casimero losing this match, I should also say that he needs to hang his gloves now.

Speaking of Casimero if he'll get defeated this time although it's very unlikely to happen, just like you said. But if in case that happens, I don't think he have a future in this industry anymore because where will he go next? Bantamweight doesn't fight him as he'll be having the same issues again and in the upper weight class, he can't give some troubles, so it's much better for him to retire. But just like we said, it's very unlikely, especially now that he himself is looking to bounce back to redeem his name again.


He needed to win if he wanted to continue his journey from this sport. If he loses this one, it might be the end of his career. Maybe he will just continue working with his YouTube channel and try to make money from it.

But on a serious note, Casimero should win this with a great passion to make sure that he will get more money fight and also a chance to chase for the title match, still far though but for sure it's also part of the plan for him to regain his popularity and make more money from this sport.


Not just an ordinary win, what he needed is a stoppage or at least we will see that he is not having some struggles fighting Ryo Akaho because he can't possibly defeat the champions in super-bantam if he is already struggling to defeat Akaho. Nevertheless, I still believe that he can redeem his name this time, he knew for sure what he have to do.

Casimero's YouTube channel won't be that profitable anymore if he will get defeated and retire in the boxing industry because majority of his viewers in that channel just want to what's he up to and to get some informations on his whereabouts that is connected in boxing. So, retiring means that goodbye viewers too.

I also thought some reasons on why does the Lakers have this poor performance and came to a conclusion that maybe their coach was one of the reason that affects their chemistry but the Celtics had the same situation too yet they didn't had a hard time since the season started, now they have a good record of 3 wins out of four games. Surely the Lakers haven't yet solved their own puzzles that's why they are struggling.

It seems to me that the head coaches of the Celtics and the Lakers are in different situations. Mazzulla has been an assistant coach with the Celtics since 2019. So I think it was easy for him to adapt as a head coach because he already knows the players and coaching staff of the Celtics for a long time, while Ham may clearly be more difficult in this aspect.
By the way, there are rumors that Westbrook may miss the upcoming game against the Nuggets. It will be funny if the Lakers win without him, although the Nuggets are clearly not an easy opponent.

How different is it? Both of them happened to be an assistant coach the same roster for quite some years before they have promoted to be the head coach of the same team they acted as an assistant years before, the only difference is Darvin Ham acted the job much longer way back when there is still Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in the Lakers way back in 2011. Yet it seems that Darvin Ham is more struggling in the job unlike Mazzulla who had a much easier journey.
2571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 26, 2022, 04:30:24 PM

I can't really take some risks on this fight, I have a bad feeling that this is a pure business and not an entertainment. Both boxers doesn't want to be defeated especially Jake Paul here who is currently building his career and seriously, Silva, wouldn't take defeat as well. I guess we will see it soon if what we heard is just a rumor or not.

If this fight, in the end, turns up in a draw I will surely not be watching any fight including the Paul Brothers, and even Anderson Silva for Approving something so disgraceful as that will surely boycott both matches, exhibition of not, I will surely not going to watch another fight anymore,

Sure? I bet it will change your mind if you'll know that Jake or Logan will face Mike Tyson next or the likes that doesn't really want rigged fights Grin just joking mate.

Anyway, you really have a point and I bet Jake Paul will be discouraged to have some future fights if this fight will end up in draw, he better defeat Silva if he still want to see himself fighting in the ring, collecting cash from the revenues and PPV buys generated. Aside from that, I heard the odds of draw is too tempting.

2573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: October 26, 2022, 02:56:26 PM
When we thought that Crawford has already move out of the shadow of Top Rank because his critics felt that he is cherry picking opponents for him, now he decided to go and fight a unknown?

Nothing against Avanesyan, but Crawford, his last fight is against Porter, and it seems that this is a big let down for his fans as if instead of levelling up, he chooses to go down one level down.

Couldn't really blame Crawford, the man waited so long for at least a year as I remembered just for the undisputed fight and then somewhere in June they are having some discussion with Spence's camp but ended in separate ways because both camp didn't agreed on something. He was promised a fight, even leave Bob Arum just to make the fight possible but now he was all alone hanging.

I know there's a lot of expectation for Bud's next opponent, we thought it will be Spence but didn't happen, and then we also thought it would be Charlo in super welter but Charlo doesn't want to give Crawford a chance because he didn't go through the ranks. That is why now we have this David Avanesyan as a supposed tune-up fight to keep Bud in shape.

And I think David is the back up fight plan of Crawford if the fight fell through with Spence. Yes, I know that this opponent is not what we expect of him, but perhaps its the easiest to make instead of looking for good fighters in this division at they will have to go to another round of negotiations and there are chances that it might not happen again.

So they chooses a hard hitting fighter in David Avanesyan and so Crawford will be tested here. Nevertheless, we could see a war in the initial opening and then Crawford taking over and uses his jab to pot shop Avanesyan.

Still this is much better rather than we get nothing from waiting Crawford for the whole year of 2022, surely we didn't expected this situation because we all expected an undisputed fight and personally, I didn't expected that he will pick this boxer. Anyway, as I said, it is still better than nothing.

I dug David's record to see what he is made of, he does have a good record and surely he have nothing to lose here compared to Crawford that is still undefeated until now. Some says what if Bud will be defeated here, I say that might be almost impossible to happen.

If you're just influenced by a celebrity whose skill is inferior to yours then you're just wasting your money, adoring your favorite celebrity and playing with your own money is different, you can imitate your celebrity, dress the way they dressed but play and getting influenced is very different, you should check if he is better than your analysis if he is good then you can go for wat he's betting, if not then do your own analysis.

Yes, they are just a humans just like us, the only difference is our status compared to them but that doesn't mean that they are much wiser than us. You know, bets are not always guaranteed winnings, so these famous influencers/celebrities are also vulnerable to losses, just like us. It is much better to do your own research and analysis while comparing yours to theirs, rather than putting the fate of your bets in their hands.
Yes, i agree with you. Everyone needs money. Someone would be big celebrity or something. Since they are also human, the knowledge difference between a celebrity and a normal gambler will not be much that can be slight difference. Even other gamblers may be wiser than the celebrity. So never underestimate own self. I think the best thing to do in gambling is to give the highest priority to own intelligence.
When we do talk about gambling then such differences wont really be that much noticeable or something relevant specially if we are dealing with luck based where odds would be totally random.

Doesnt matter on what is your reputation or popularity.Odds on winning the game would really be just the same.Some people are easily get hooked up into their idols been doing or

things which they are involved with.In my part then its better to play with your own preferences and choices which in case that you do lose then you cant
really point up fingers on where you do blame on.

That's right, I mean it is okay to idolize someone because of their status but as a gambler, we need to separate them from our reality because they aren't the ones who will suffer if we will get some losses along the way because we put our fate on their hands and surely they won't even benefit if we will win the same bet. They are just there trying to make an example from their status, we shouldn't let ourselves be fooled from what they are doing because we do have our won lives.
2575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 26, 2022, 02:11:36 PM
They all fail with that its just they are putting all the blame to Westbrook so that they can save their asses on shame or fans blame. What Westbrook did is just another failure contribution to their team so if they lose in that game all of them should be blame. And if they don't improve and always make their team controversial due to this losses then this will be another worse season to them also this could ruin Lebron's record.

Maybe the inexperience of the head coach is also affecting the current performance of the Lakers. Although I agree that all Lakers players are to blame for such a poor start to the season, not only Westbrick. However, there is no surprise that fans and haters focus their attention specifically on Westbrook's failures. This Brick has an average field goal percentage of 27% in three games, and now his performance looks a lot worse compared to last season.

I also thought some reasons on why does the Lakers have this poor performance and came to a conclusion that maybe their coach was one of the reason that affects their chemistry but the Celtics had the same situation too yet they didn't had a hard time since the season started, now they have a good record of 3 wins out of four games. Surely the Lakers haven't yet solved their own puzzles that's why they are struggling.

Bukas kontra Spurs naman sila, di na talaga ako maniniwalang matatalo parin sila dito.

Speaking of San Antonio Spurs sigurado ako maraming NBA enthusiast ang di aware sa current roster nila haha. Walang superstar, walang all-star, at kahit sa pagiging consistent role players kwestyonable pa. Sa pagtatantiya ko siguro mga 3 or 4 lang ang veterans at lahat mostly mga young cores na.

Ito ang team na talagang magugulat ang lahat kapag nakapasok sa Playoffs at alam naman natin kung gaano kahirap ang competition sa Western Conference. Tibay din ni Coach Gregg Popovich wala pang balak magpahinga. Tingnan natin kung mahulma niya tong mga bata bilang next franchise players ng San Antonio Spurs.

Napasilip ako bigla sa standing ng Spurs at akalain mo yun ang ganda ng start nila 2-1 na kahit wala silang superstar sa current lineup nila unlike sa Lakers at Sixers na talagang kung star lang at star ang pag uusapan eh talagang masasabi mo na asa advantage side yung dalawang heavyweight franchise.

Speaking of coach Pop baka nag eenjoy pa sya sa pag cocoach at kung ako naman ang owner ng Spurs wala akong balak palitan ang best fit coach para sa franchise ko.

Tignan na lang natin kung gagawa ng magandang kwento ang Spurs sa season na to hindi natin masasabi kung hanggang saan ang aabutin nila dahil nga sa hirap ng competition sa West side.

Oo nga ano? 3-1 na standing nila ngayon dahil nanalo sila kanina kontra sa Timberwolvers, kung tutuusin talaga ay di na masama ang performance nila dahil nagawa nga nilang talunin ang Pacers at 76ers sa unang tatlong laro nila mula ng magsimula ang season.
Sa ngayon ay nasa 2nd seed sila sa West, tingnan natin kung magagawa ba nilang talunin ang Timberwolves ng back-to-back mamaya. Wala naman silang masyadong ipag-alala dahil nasa kanila ang isa sa pinaka mahasang coach.

Lakers lose another close one to go to 0-3. Russell Westbrook still shooting terribly and costing them games down the stretch. LeBron put up 31 again on his quest to become the best scorer of all time. The star of the game though was Damian Lillard who got 41 points on 25 shots while carrying his team to a 2 point win over the Lakers. The Lakers really didn’t play bad. Even Westbrook didn’t turn the ball over. If he could just start making some shots they would be so much better…

What a game for Dame Lillard hitting that Dame time 3 to take the lead.
While the Lakers continue to struggle offensively.
I have to agree that the Lakers is not really playing bad defensively, they just can't shoot. They might be under heavy pressure now and they can't shake off the bad start and continue missing shots, particularly the 3pt fg.
The next 7 opponent for the Lakers are also a tough teams. If they can't find a way to adjust their game and start winning, I'm afraid they'll start with 0-10.

Very disappointing loss of the Lakers, they were up but they allow the Blazers to rally and beat them. Again, very bad performance by Westbrook, he only manage to score 10 points from a very poor shooting, with his consistent performance, let us not anymore expect the Lakers will even reach the playoffs.

Very disappointing loss to them and instead they do more better on their next game they became worst. Instead they motivate their players to be more hungry to win they play Russ blame card again for sure we cannot see any good competition coming with this team since at this very early stage of season they are destroying their chemistry that's why we see worse performance as a result.

Maybe they need to start trading their players because for keeping them maybe they will not reach again on playoffs.

Well, about that there's a rumor nowadays that the Lakers is interested to resume the trade talks to get Jordan Clarkson and 2 other players in-exchange for Westbrook, and I think that even if that rumor will become a reality, I don't think that the Utah Jazz will be interested anymore to join that conversation. It's true that they need at least 1 superstar in the team to lead them but I don't think Westbrook fits what they needed especially now that the whole league sees the current situation of the Lakers.

I know Jake Paul will surely regret this Anderson Silva has some experience with boxing, and pretty much I want to see him perish in this fight with a loss,

I am sure Jake Paul won't regret the fight with Silva.  His goal of earning money is met, what else he would regret in the fight?  Aside from that Silva is already a washed-out player that is not a regular of Boxing.  And we don't even know if the fight is scripted or not.  Grin

I can't really take some risks on this fight, I have a bad feeling that this is a pure business and not an entertainment. Both boxers doesn't want to be defeated especially Jake Paul here who is currently building his career and seriously, Silva, wouldn't take defeat as well. I guess we will see it soon if what we heard is just a rumor or not.

When we thought that Crawford has already move out of the shadow of Top Rank because his critics felt that he is cherry picking opponents for him, now he decided to go and fight a unknown?

Nothing against Avanesyan, but Crawford, his last fight is against Porter, and it seems that this is a big let down for his fans as if instead of levelling up, he chooses to go down one level down.

Couldn't really blame Crawford, the man waited so long for at least a year as I remembered just for the undisputed fight and then somewhere in June they are having some discussion with Spence's camp but ended in separate ways because both camp didn't agreed on something. He was promised a fight, even leave Bob Arum just to make the fight possible but now he was all alone hanging.

I know there's a lot of expectation for Bud's next opponent, we thought it will be Spence but didn't happen, and then we also thought it would be Charlo in super welter but Charlo doesn't want to give Crawford a chance because he didn't go through the ranks. That is why now we have this David Avanesyan as a supposed tune-up fight to keep Bud in shape.
