261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] David Benavidez vs. Olexandr Gvozdyk interim WBC Championship on: March 02, 2024, 07:34:01 AM
PBC will release Canelo if he ducks Benavidez but it was said also Canelo is to fight Munguia soon or Edgar Berlanga as Hearn said.

Benavidez is going to weigh himself for LW, it's his fight time and fighting a hard hitter such as Gvozdyk will also be risky for him and it's not sure if it's going to sell PPV. this is final?

because Canelo refuses, Benavidez has to move on as waiting seems not an option for him. it's a big step up for Benavidez's career and i think he can beat Gvozdyk given that the fight will be in Sept.
It's less risk for Benavidez here, yes Gvozdyk could be consider as a knock out artist, but he hasn't face a boxer like Benavidez who has all the physical advantage over him. And the age gap though, a young and motivated fighter like Benavidez might be enough as he is looking for the next fight, against the winner of the Beterbiev against Bivol fight. So this is for unification fight and that could cemented his legacy. He said that he is going to chase his own for now as Canelo Alvarez doesn't want to give him that fight even if for the minimum and Canelo getting the major portion of the split. But still Canelo is bent on his reasoning of not wanting to fight another Mexican, so be it.
262  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for March on: March 01, 2024, 08:55:38 PM
I voted for No, this is already March, next month we will see the halving activity already. So I'm not seeing the bulls giving up their position. It's kinda late in my opinion. And I think we have seen the reversal happening around January when the news of the Spot Bitcoin ETF approval went out and when we are expecting the price to rally it reverses. But now both retail and institutional investors have one goal before the halving, and that is to see a new all time high. We are very close more than $62k already and still going on. I'm not TA experts, but this is what I'm seeing, As for the sentiments,

Good for her, and according to the article,

Quote
When asked about her plans for the hefty sum, the woman said that she anticipates discussing different options with financial experts. “We’re going to talk to our CPA and my investment specialist,” said Pruitt, adding that she wants to invest the money rather than blowing it away.

So she is not a gambler per se, and really looking for long term effect of her winning as he is going to invest that money and make it grow. And that's what others should do, however, this is luck on her side so we understand where she is coming from. But for us regular gamblers, maybe if we won this big, the next day we will be on the casino and playing some of it for sure. Anyhow, Let's keep our fingers crossed, maybe one of this days we will be a lottery winning and a huge windfall is coming our way.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: March 01, 2024, 09:46:43 AM
Everyone interested to see the video of the sparring between Tank Davis and Devin Haney?

Ryan leaked it here: https://twitter.com/RyanGarcia/status/1763400539663122553

As you can see, Tank got the better of Haney here, even rocking Devin and Tank looks absolutely a monster in this sparring.

But as they say, this is just a sparring and perhaps Haney has improved a lot already. But who knows,  Grin

Doesn't really says anything though, Haney says that he is like 16 years old in this sparring match but the did take it and hold his ground against Tank Davis. However, if Ryan is the one who leaks this video then it's going to be personal for the Haney's here. The Garcia's has been on the attack, even his Father says that Bill is nappy or something. I don't know what it means but it sounds derogatory remarks or some racists s**t? And them releasing the video doesn't change anything as Ryan is still a huge underdog. And as I have said, it might make Haney really mad and so he will be motivated to knock Ryan out again similar to what Tank did to him, q-u-i-t.
Tank Davis is 29 years right now, and Devin Haney is 25 years old. If this fight happens when Devin Haney is 17, then Tank could be 21 that time and obviously has a lot more experience and that's why he looks absolutely gonna knockout Haney in that sparring. But the video shows none of that, he just got the better of Haney, bust him maybe with his upper cut and if you look at the body of Tank, it's build it the way it is right now while Haney looks skinny and maybe at the start of his career at 135 lbs and so he is too green during this sparring. Every fight is full of trash talk though, racist sometimes but at the end of the day, this is how fights are being promoted even in the time of the GOAT himself, Muhammad Ali.

What a performance by the San Antonio Spurs, beating OKC. Wemby shows up in the 4th quarter with back to back 3's and then he had a block against Chet, his rival for the rookie of the year. Score is 132-118.

SGA lead the OKC, then climb back in the game after down by 11 and even lead 3 points in the last 8 minutes of the game. But after the time out with 4 minutes left, Wemby was in a mission to not let this game slip away from them. Crowd was so loud that you can't hear the whistle. So great win for them against the 2nd seed Thunder.

Ya, that game screwed my parlay. Wemby just keeps getting better. It’s surprising and impressive. He’s getting to the level he can carry his team to some wins.

The Lakers game is down to the wire tonight. Quite a difference from their heroics last game. If they don’t get it together they might lose to the Wizards in a few minutes.

Edit: Lakers got the win in overtime. The story of the night for me though was Jordan Poole coming off the bench to have his best game of the year.
Lakers almost lost this one against the Wizards, good thing is that Reaves make a difficult bank shot to force OT. Kuzma give them a lead with his 3. But then Lebron James, has his own 3 and a dish out to AD. And then the chase down block on Poole, though and that might have clinch the win for them. Rui didn't score in double digits, but he had one rebound that really also put the game for good for them. AD had a monster 40 points and James had 30 points. Lebron is chasing 40,000 points, obviously the first player that will have that stat line and making it harder for any current players to even touch that record.

"Oh my mama, Wembanyama"  Grin, great performance by the rookie, but he needs more of this.

What a bunch of *** this scammers, they combine a crypto exchange + altcoin. And if you have been in the market, it's obvious that this site is not to be trusted. Sorry for your lose @OP, I do hope that you learn your lessons here. I know that kind of money is already big for some of us, but compare to others that might have lost bigger amounts to this scammers. So expensive lessons to learn in your part. And hopefully those who have read this will not go and even try to visit that website. There are top tier exchanges out there that has the reputation already.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Reymart Gaballo WBO Bantamweight Title (May 12) on: February 29, 2024, 09:22:56 PM

It would be interesting if he will just give Gaballo the fight that he wanted, a toe-to-toe fight will make this very interesting. The strategy of Gaballo is very obvious as he will just attack like Sultan, and since Moloney doesn't have a high knockout power ratio, he might just lose on points if he will not match the aggressiveness of the challenger. I'm seeing maybe he'll use the same strategy Inoue has used against Ancajas, but Gaballo will be fully conditioned here, that's for sure.

It's not a bad idea, but he will not do that because he'll have to respect the power of Gaballo. Based on record, Jason Moloney's last 3 wins are from MD and UD, meaning he is using his skills very well, and he is not careless as a champion. Gaballo, although had 3 straight wins after his loss to Donaire, 2 of them are in KO. But he is not fighting an ordinary boxer anymore; I mean, he is the challenger in a championship fight. He has to use a better game plan; aggressiveness is good but not using your head is bad.
Moloney loves a hard and grind fight, very close and then throwing everything. I think he will try to test Gaballo early with that kind of strategy and see how Raymart will respond. And if that happens, I think Gaballo will have the advantage. Unless Moloney started to fight in the distance and uses his jab and try to avoid the power of Gaballo early. But he is fighting in his country, and I think he will be carried away to fight toe to toe so that he can please his fans. One thing that might go against Gaballo is that if this fight goes on, he might round out of gas which is his weakness. So he should really be 100% condition here, and thinks that it's possible that this fight is going till the last round.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 29, 2024, 01:36:28 PM
I disagree, dude is the best player in a first ranked team, with 27 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5 assists. Thats good enough for a MVP discussion without a doubt, this should be something that would benefit even if we keep just the "best player in a first ranked team", not even east only, we are talking about both east and west, that's a damn good team and he is the best player in that team. What else would you need for someone to be in MVP discussion? That should be the most important part. I believe that he is much better than all other candidates so far, everyone else plays great in either bad teams, or teams that are still worse than Celtics, so it should be recognized that Tatum is having a great year.

Many factors determine whether a player deserves the MVP trophy or not. I think both the team results and the individual stats of a player are important. As for Tatum, he is certainly good and is the best player on his team. However, if you compare his stats with players like Giannis, Embiid, Jokic, and Luka, it'll be clear why he's behind them in the race for the MVP trophy.

Obviously, Tatum is a great player and is one of the best. He is definitely the best in Boston as well. But the numbers do not lie. Tatum is not yet a top 5 for now. Guys like Luka, Shai, Jokic, Embiid and Giannis are the ones dominating the stats. And that will be a huge disrespect if Tatum gets the MVP nod.
Yes, player like Luka is dominating the game right now, but overall if we look at the teams, Boston are on top and very consistent with Tatum leading the team. I read though some articles that he is just being over look because he has lost to the Warriors before as they are the favorite to win that series and the championship.

Tatum has great teammates which is why many players are leading in numbers but the accuracy stats also say he is not yet in there as an MVP. He is still 25 though and has a lot of years in him. There is also room for improvement.
He might likely get the finals MVP, but for the regular season, very tough unless he put like Luka numbers in the second half of the season and maybe he will get the respect from the media and fans alike. Yes, he is still very young and maybe what he should target is for Boston to win a championship with him leading team.
269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: February 29, 2024, 09:38:18 AM
I don’t know anything about Devin Haney, but Ryan Garcia seems more and more cringe in every clip I see of him. I think for that reason I’m probably going to go with Haney to win this fight. I think the Tank fight broke Ryan Garcia mentally. I wouldn’t put money behind him vs anyone until he gets another win under his belt.
There were even post yesterday that Ryan is somewhat smoking or high, and so that's another cringe moment for you. And Devin Haney says that he won't show up to the press kick off presser because Ryan is just wasting his time. But the did show up and we have a entertaining press conference when Ryan goes up with 3 girls, even Oscar was laughing and when it's time for his mouth to open, he says that he is serious and talks about God, Lol, talking about being high. He is a huge underdog here, if he loses this one, he will be 0-2 amongst his contemporaries, and I don't know if he can get a belt at this weight class. Maybe not against Haney or Teo Lopez, perhaps Rolly he has a chance or even against a tough Subriel Matias.
270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Does it feel to be Balls Deep in altcoin, when only bitcoin is rising? on: February 29, 2024, 08:29:11 AM
I guess it just shows how Bitcoin is really the prime mover here in crypto, most of the altcoins even ETH is still behind it's ATH, -40% if I'm not mistaken. But if you look at BTC, closing in at it's previous all time high and maybe it can top it before even the halving itself. So obviously, doesn't feel good if you are not that a Bitcoin investor or at least believed that altcoin will be the savior and that it will make you rich this bull run. So I guess all the emotions are there, what if, regrets, I should have done this blah blah blah. I know the feeling though, but I can't get it back, and so we should just move forward and learn for this mistakes. And who knows, in the next coming years, we might see all time high with our altcoins and make a lot of profits, we will never know.
271  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Chart Update - Previous Cycle on: February 29, 2024, 05:21:35 AM
Another post about going down, the last “prediction” didn’t work out too well based on the fibs right? Now it’s it happened before so it going to happen again logic. I do suppose a broken clock is right twice a day. BTC could just as easily keep going in the uppity direction. I’m basing this on the fact I woken up 1min before my alarm went off today. Remember 1 btc = 1 btc
Lol, but it's true 1 btc = 1 btc. However, we do love some technical analysis, right? And so this is a new one from the OP and we might have seen our TA members posted their own graph for us to see what could happen, it could be up North and see new all time high. But after that what will happen to the market, we haven't yet seen the block halving and yet we are now talking about new all time high and what will happen after that. So very interesting what the OP says, that we might see a huge dump before the block halving when we thought that we very much on the bullish state because of the ETF approval. So it's either the analysis of the OP is spot on or their could be some divergence as new picture is being developing right now, $62k and still going up.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 28, 2024, 08:52:33 PM
Celtics has been looking like a team on a mission. I feel like if they keep this up, there isn't really any team that can stand on their way. Jokic or not, western conference do not look like they have anyone that can rival them.

Celtics and mainly Tatum trying to get that one ring finally so they can relax, look at Bucks, they did get the ring and now they are not caring about it all that much, even with Dame joining their team, they are just having that relief, Dame probably wants it more than anyone else, whereas Celtics never got one, and they are a very great team historically, so Tatum wants to win one for the team as well, they are so close, and they may get it this time around, otherwise nobody knows when is the next chance.

What's insane though is that Jayson Tatum's name is not even mentioned as a MVP, he is just outside the top 5 if I'm not mistaken. So that also baffles me, they have Jokic, Luka, SGA, Embiid and Giannis.

And how many games that they are ahead? 7.5 games. Tatum knows this, media knows this, but they don't like Tatum and he knows that. So him and the Celtics should really be go and win their first NBA ring with Tatum leading them and rub it in to their detractors.

The Celtics are good no doubt, but I don't think Tatum is an MVP caliber player.  He's definitely nowhere near the best player in the NBA like he thinks.  He's been known to disappear in big games and none of his stats are better than the other guys being mentioned for MVP.  In my opinion, Jayson Tatum is a great player, an all star even.  I wouldn't start him in the all star game though, wouldn't consider him a first team all nba player and definitely wouldn't give him the MVP over guys like Luka Doncic, Jokic, or Giannis.  I do think he's a better player than SGA though...
Perhaps he is just trying to balance himself with the team, he had Brown which averages 20 ppg and him 28 ppg, so that is already big for a team to have their one and two player scoring above 20 ppg. And so there are a lot of arguments for and against him. But if we ask NBA players, the first thing they will say is that they wanted a championship rather than MVP. So if he can bring the Celtics to the finals again and not disappear and win a ring, for sure he will be in consideration for the next season. So unless he do that, he will be consider just a not so great player who happens to be on a good team.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 28, 2024, 05:37:22 PM
While it is clear that Canelo at this stage of his career is trying to cherry pick, PBC also has no money and has no network backing capable of guaranteeing a huge purse. And if PBC wanted Mungia, that's a GBP fighter. DAZN is the network of GBP and it has a case to just steal Canelo from PBC and bring him back to the network probably via Matchroom.

For me, the corrupt WBC under the leadership of Mauricio is to be blamed. It's playing games and is trying to convince the casuals that it is reliable. It's simple, just issue a deadline for both Canelo and Benavidez to reach a deal. If there is no deal then issue a date for the purse bid and if Canelo is not participating then simply strip him of the title. End of story.
But they won't stripped Canelo, Mauricio will not do that to Canelo. And they could be playing the fans as well, but it seems there will be no Canelo vs Benavidez and WBC will force that mandatory fight. And probably this is one reason why Showtime exit boxing programming, they are losing money, and if I'm not mistaken, PBC has a deal with Amazon Prime Video and or working as well with DAZN for a exclusive deal? So we will see, Canelo is already cherry picking his opponents, doesn't want to take that risk with Benavidez. Time is running out for him as who will be his next opponent this May.

The Bitcoin bullish megaphone is playing out again! As the Price is rapidly closing in on $60,000. Already you can see the FOMO finding it's way back into the market. In my opinion, Bitcoin is still playing out similarly to the 2017 cycle. Only this time, dips are shallower, and the rise is steeper. The intricate dance of the market, echoing patterns of the past while paving the way towards new heights. I dont know what to call this except fascinating times indeed.

How high do you think it can go?
We are already at $62k right now, I don't think we can call this FOMO though, we are fast approaching the block halving and so everyone wanted to get on board. Still the same Bitcoin to me, bullish sentiments and prediction could be right that we are going to hit at least 6 digit this bull run.

I bet Elon Musk is feeling stupid that he sold all or most of his company's bitcoin at $20K. I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?
Anyone with half a brain knows when prices are low that is the time to buy not sell.  

The genius sells Tesla's bitcoin at a loss then uses the money to buy dumpster fire Twitter
which promptly dumps more than 50% after buying it. Brilliant!
Doesn't matter though, we are done with Elon, that's his decision if he dump Bitcoin back then. Maybe he has bought during the bear market we don't know. And as I have said, Bitcoin community has totally forgotten about Elon Musk. And there are a lot of players new and old, institutional money that is flowing right now and let that continue.

By 2024 end, we are probably going to have something much better, it will not be too simple but we will definitely see it do well enough. I mean we are at a stage where things are not that easy to handle at the moment, but the halving is nearing as well, with the halving underway, the rest of the year should be much better.
We've already seeing better results already, price almost touching $60k before the halving. There were even speculations that we might break the last all time high pre-halving. So that will be a first if that happens. And we all know what is going to happen next after the halving.

I personally believe that we are going to do fine, we just need to end up with a lot better result eventually if we know what we are doing. I am very well aware of the situation that we are going to end up with a much better result by the end of the year. This is of course what the market is saying in general, so I can't really say I have any proof about it, that is not how things work, so I can't really know.
We might see new all time high for this year, this is just the start of the bull run and so with that, everything will be positive for everyone. And isn't it wonderful, after what we have undergone during the bear market, FTX collapse, hitting a very low price of $15k, now we are just about to hit the bull run.

Today, I sat amongst a group of people and listened to them as they shared a story that indirectly reflects how terrible the spate of gambling addiction is. It became evident to me that this addiction transcends demographics such as age, marital status, ethnicity, and religious beliefs, but appears to be more prevalent among males.
Yes, gambling knows no boundaries, we might be sitting in our room with the laptop or desktop and browsing the forum. But on the other side of the globe, there could be someone who's falling for gambling and becoming addicted to it. So it's really very hard for everyone now, unless you are not introduce to gambling, but for those who have been playing almost all their lives, very hard to quit and there could be bout of we have recovered and then fall to gambling back again and then the cycle continues. Unless we really have that bad experience that we promised not just ourselves but our family as well that we are going to quit for good. And we can only hope that our children will not gamble and not repeat the same mistakes that we did when we are young.
278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. on: February 27, 2024, 09:27:04 AM
It cannot be denied because the reality is that women's interest in gambling continues to increase, especially young women, they are no longer blind to gambling, not only women but minors have also increased their interest in gambling, this is difficult to prevent because of advertising. gambling is very common on our cellphones
First, in gambling everyone can make money, including women. So that should be the motivation for them to join and play and gambling offline or online. Also, in recent decade we have seen women embracing male-dominated activities including gambling. And non-traditional women see gambling as a way to assert their independence and challenge social norms. And then like men, we want to enjoy, socialized, have fun, so women can also experienced this in gambling as well. So I'm not sure why the OP seems to be surprised here, individuals of any gender should gamble responsibly and within their means.. Society as evolved and so is the predisposition of women. Unless you still lived in a country wherein the rights of the women are not there and treated very differently.
279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 27, 2024, 03:07:06 AM
Lakers and Warriors are having trouble going higher because everyone at the western conference at the top ten are at positive results right now. Worst ones are 6-4 in the last 10 games, with bunch of 7-3 and even 8-2 is there. Usually you do not get ALL of them doing this well, some do well and some do badly but this time its not like that at all. In the end, we are seeing it grow and that's the most important part, we should be thanking the basketball gods that its making it so wonderful. I personally believe that we are not really seeing any big changes. Unfortunately, we will see some teams not do this well until the end of the season. Play-in could be very fun this way though.
It did change a lot, as Warriors and the Lakers are below the standing and so someone will really have to take their place in the top. No offense, but it's a surprised to see Timberwolves and the OKC at the top of the Western standings. But as I have said, it's the changing of the guards now, we might see the last of the dynasty in the Warriors as they are getting old every season and they are facing a lot of challenges right now. But for the top 2 teams, the real test for them is the playoff. As far as I remember, they haven't been in the playoff for sometime, so this season will be different for the organizations and we will see how tough they are come playoff time.

Canelo might be looking to retire in the next couple of years if he is just looking for a soft opponent like Berlanga check. The lost against Bivol might have put a lot of mental strained in him and we could say that he is no longer the same Canelo. He won against GGG, but it's it's no longer the same GGG that he fought the first time. And Canelo chooses John Ryder next, we all know what happen to that fight, it happened in Mexico but fans are disappointed. Then next is Jermell Charlo a career 154 lbs, who moved up 2 weight class. And he wanted to fight the Jermall, same, will have to move up from 160 - 168 lbs, doable, but PBC disapproves it. They wanted Canelo to fight David Benavidez but Canelo doesn't want to so he leaves PBC.
