Great challenge by Jonas Sultan, I'm impressed with the power of Carlos Caraballo since all his fights are won by KO. Actually, I'm not familiar with Carlos Caraballo but I feel he is going to make a name in the sports of boxing, so let's see if his win streak and KO streak will continue.
Please update the betting odds once available.
He will make a name if he beats Jonas Sultan, Sultan is a title contender he has fought a lot of tough fighters he's never been knocked out in his fights some of his losses are on the decision, this fight is a feather in the cap for both fighters, although Caraballo has an excellent record I'll go for Sultan he has a good generalship than Caraballo. Same here, I don't even know this boxer, he has an undefeated record but what matters is the quality of the opponents that he beat. It's my first time hearing this name, and based on his record, he is undefeated and won all fight by KO, that's kind of scary, but you know, Filipino fighters are like Mexican fighters they would fight toe to toe. |

I don't know maybe another guard in case either Westbrook or Rondo will get injured.
They had been chasing veterans and I am worried this may become their weakness. I like how they just ended up trading Marc Gasol and then bought out by the Grizzlies but the Lakers also need young cores to make up for speed. Yes, they have Westbrook and Rondo but it is WB alone who could still play 40+ minutes while I doubt Rondo's capability to play longer. They need guards who focus on defense if they think their offensive power is enough. I believed that Rondo can still play 30++ plus minutes. He wasn't given the time with the Clippers, but chances that he is back in the Lakers again, it will be like what he did when they won the ring 2 years ago. They still have THT and McClung or Kendrick Nunn to play point as some time. I' banking of McClung to be the next Alex Caruso. Rondo would be willing to play that minutes if he will be given a chance, however, he is not a starter so it's hard to expect he will earn that minutes unless someone in the starting lineup with the same position he has will be injured, but we don't hope it will happen though, at least Rondo is ready to step up anytime. |

From what I remember is that there is really a clause in the terms of service about gambling even a while back. Coins.ph is not for gambling purposes as their Terms of service already stipulated that part and being a KYC platform, of course they have the right as mandated by the Bangko Sentral, that users of coins.ph needs to submit their identity. When I used coins.ph before I remember getting flagged by them for sending BTC to an exchange. After that I stopped using it being fed up with the rules. If you are going to use coins.ph, then just use it for investing into Bitcoin without moving them to different wallets.
It was already posted in the OP. you may refer to the complete terms of services of coins.ph. https://site.coins.ph/user-agreementProhibited Uses include transactions or activities related to:
(c) Gambling: Online gambling, lotteries, casinos and informal gambling, gaming operations, sports betting, and other games of chance and forms of speculation; Therefore, using the platform of gambling transactions makes your transaction illegal, and you will be legally liable. This warning is very timely as the government of the Philippines is already starting to imposed stricter rules on crypto industry. |

The quality of basketball in the Philippines is slowly diminishing because our supposed to star in the future are playing with other countries due to their competitive salary, just like our good professionals in the Philippines choose to work abroad for greener pasture.
What can the PBA do to stop them from choosing other league over the PBA, I think this brings a serious message that they have to act immediately.
Those who are going in the Japan B-League mostly are players who aren't playing in the PBA with the exception of Kiefer Ravena. Anyway there are 2 reasons that I think we know why they are going into other league. 1. Age restrictions - in order for a player to enter the draft, they must be at least 22 years old. There might be some that have reached 22 years old and older but they prefer to play in Japan probably because of competition, experience and the second one that I will say. 2. Money or Salary - lets face the truth that Japan is a rich country and if you will compare the salary of players in Japan and PH, the difference is very big. These players have families to feed anyway and include also the fact that they will learn more if they will play into other leagues. Or safe to say the young players that are probably in their 20s, some PBA players will doubt of leaving the PBA as they don't know what would be their future abroad and if they will be able to come back in the PBA again. The concern is, what if the young potential players are all going to play abroad? Will the fans still enjoy the PBA? What can PBA do to stop what is happening?? One way that I'm seeing is an expansion. I mean add more teams so they can add more talented players. Another one is to increase the salary but I will not expect for this to happen. Both are needed, expansion to number of teams and increase of salary. |

Sometimes, people get curious and they will never learn from other's experiences and mistakes unless they experience them themselves expecting that they could make a different path. We should really have a complete understanding of the risks of gambling so we'll know how to control ourselves from betting or gambling too much. There's always a limit to everything and abusing gambling could ruin our lives later on.
Either they're stupid or they are oblivious. To be honest, that kind of person isn't worth helping at all because they don't have any plans of being different or taking a different path. I think that it's innate for us to understand the risk in gambling, I don't think that no one is oblivious even to that. Someone who don't learn from his/her own experiences and as well as not learning from others experiences, we don't know what's with them. Even if you tell them to be responsible as they gamble. They will continually going to make the same mistakes again and again. Still, if you a person like that, don't close your doors of helping him if he asks about tips on how to overcome addiction. Eventually they will learn, for some gamblers who does not listen, unfortunately they will have to learn the hard way, some gamblers only realized that they messed up if they already become homeless, hopefully it will not reach to that point as life would be painful with that experience. It's not new to me as I know people who end up selling their personal stuff just to finance their gambling addiction, it's not good and prevention is always better, but we are just human, we are prone to making mistakes and one reason for this is our greediness, our greediness to make money in a short period of time without realizing that gambling is not the right venue for everyone to achieve that goal. |

Not sure if this project will be able to exceed the platforms that are already in the market, if it's purpose is just for stable coin, then let's see if it will be accepted with open arms and we know if people like it as hype normally starts, however, the market is still dumping until now, so if it would help, then probably we will recover soon.
A project that is being in compliance with the law has lesser risk and that's what they ensure, that's a plus in that area, the only crucial is how people would adopt it.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/pba-p5-million-reward-for-whistle-blower-on-salary-cap-violation-a791-20200428THE last few paragraphs of our story on Kenneth Duremdes' league-record contract, about a reward of around P5 million offered by the PBA for any information that leads to a salary-cap violation getting caught, have raised a lot of eyebrows. He would not say it if there was no violation happening, it's just that most teams are owned by big names and probably they control the league as well, so those who are setting cannot freely implement the rules. It's an speculation but I read this somewhere. This states that it's really happening but no one had reported it, with the big amount of reward, that means they badly want to know which teams are violating the salary cap. I guess if the PBA wants to solve this problem, they just have to increase the salary cap so they can give a competitive salary. Compared to the salary players are getting when playing in B League, maybe it's more than 100% of what they will receive in the PBA, so you know they will choose the team with a better offer, and though teams like SMB could give a good bonus and salary, they can only accommodate few numbers of players. |

COLUMN: The PBA ship is leaking talent and it's doing nothingCHICAGO - With his striking good looks and graceful demeanor, 6-foot-4 Dwight Ramos would have towered over the PBA as one of its next big stars for years to come.
Having previously committed to Ateneo, a bridge that often leads to the MVP Group in the pro circle, the versatile 23-year old Fil-Am could have been the knight in shining armor that empowers TNT to storm the SMC castle.
Not anymore. Not now at least.
Like that magic dragon in Peter, Paul and Mary's ballad, Ramos went puff, his roar snatched by the Toyoma Grouses of the Japan B League.
As the number of talents eloping to the land of Toyota continues to rise, the PBA is once again left at the altar of scorn and ignored.
One leak is fine. Two is okay. Heck, three is a mere pest.
But 8? The quality of basketball in the Philippines is slowly diminishing because our supposed to star in the future are playing with other countries due to their competitive salary, just like our good professionals in the Philippines choose to work abroad for greener pasture. What can the PBA do to stop them from choosing other league over the PBA, I think this brings a serious message that they have to act immediately.

I'm sure there are whales or groups of investors who are trying to manipulate the prices of coins with low market cap. Such situations will always happen. However, the overall trend is improving and it looks like the bulls have come back to push the price for new ATH.
For low cap coins, they really are easy to manipulate. That's why if you're investing on those coins whether it's bull market or bear. You still have to be careful and do not be too excited that you'll gain tremendously with those because they're the ones that are very prone to pump and dump. Not only low cap coin, even bitcoin can easily be manipulated or a high cap altcoins. Manipualtion comes in different ways, it could be using a popular personality to cause hype or panic to the market, just like what Elon Musk did, he is responsible for making DOGE into its position now. |

Does anyone notice NP has become a good team now?
The arrival of Greg really made this team a dangerous team, we are not seeing that this team has a lot of shooters and they are willing to do that since they have a big man that they can rely on. Also, Malonzo is a good addition as well, in the last win, he scored 17 points, so the offense are now spread as it will not only be Bollick who will have to work harder, he also has Malonzo who can help him.
It's not every day that you can have a 7-footer in your team in the PBA so the arrival of Slaughter brings ceiling to the Batang Pier which also has a talented point guard in Robert Bolick. Greg may not fit very well on the run and gun system of Ginebra but here in NorthPort, the system would adjust for him. Won my bet on the SMB-Ginebra game, TR7 saves the day for the Beermen as he took over the game in the last two minutes. With the way he is playing right now, i think we may see him soon in the injured list (hope i'm wrong). Now we can clearly say that TR7 has slowly become a legit superstar of the team, still, JMF is the best player as undoubtedly if we remove him from the lineup, the team will struggle 100%. Romeo had 29 points in this game, probably his conference-high, while JMF is still consistent contributed a double-double in this game. SMB has a legit chance to be a champion this conference, they beat TNT recently, now they beat BGSM. When Romeo got back, they have improved a lot, the old SMB is back while Romeo has finally showed his 100% potential to the team and I would not be surrpise if he will again with the Finals MVP in case SMB will win the championship in this conference. |

That's harsh. A player's overall cannot be seen by just his offensive flaws.
He got good stats on his defense including blocks, steals, and rebounds which is difficult to find with every player. Most of this new era players just think about how good they are at outside shooting.
Yeah, he definitely has defensive skills, but it is not enough. I mean, it's not normal that a player with a salary of more than $30 mln per season can't shoot, and he didn't even try to improve it. And if Simmons are not traded, for sure he will sit out the rest of the season
I guess Simmons probably won't return to the 76ers even if they can't trade him before the start of the season. If they don't trade him he will be there day 1. He is owed $33 million next year you don't think he would walk away from that and ruin his nba career do you. It is a business and he isn't going to leave that on the table. Honestly I don't even see the sixers moving him. Tes will low ball them and no way you take a low ball offer on the kid. He is still way young and is one of the best point guards in the league. If he was really the problem for the 76ers on why they did not succeed last season, then the 76ers will have no choice but to trade him, however, since other teams see that he was traded because he is a problem on offense, they will use that so 76ers will lower their demand on the trade, and I think they were successful as until now Ben Simmons is still with the roster. |

It all started with the leak given by Casimero himself but there's no official from their promoters so let's all wait and be patient. The schedule isn't really that important anymore once this fight is all set. They can change that at any time and can be earlier or longer than expected. What's important to me now is that they already have to lock the contract and they'll start to promote this anytime soon. Let's all be patient and wait for all of their further announcements regarding this match.
Since the Pacquiao era is over and we only have few boxers that currently hold some good records, it's so good to hear that we will gonna have some good match-up coming and it's all we've been waiting for. I'm sure if they truly approve and make this fight happen, it will be the biggest fight of their current division and it's surely a clash of a year fight where no one will run until one of them falls down.  You know the sentiment, most posters here would like to see this fight than the Inoue vs Donaire 2. This is the biggest fight in the said division and this is the time to prove who is the best, if Inoue will win, he does not have to prove anything as he already beat the champions in his division and soon he will be the undisputed one if Donaire are still interested in fighthing him. |

This is a learning experience for everyone since it's almost impossible to go after these people, we just have to learn how to diversify our investments. Or better yet, dont invest in any altcoins at all. Follow a zero altcoin policy when investing and you should be good. I cannot see any bitcoin maximalist falling prey of such scams/disguised scams unless they waste their coins for nothing. As a learning experience it costs you money and leaves you with a lot of bad memories and frustration which is a bad thing but you have to cope with it. I can only imagine how dreadful such a situation would be to someone new to crypto. First coin they invest in because they are fan of MMA and that coin turns out to be a scam. Maybe the fans of Floyd would have invested in it and they got ripped off nicely. I don't think that's a smart idea, that's playing too safe, investing in altcoins is still good as long as you make your research and you know how to diversify your funds. As what I'm seeing in the market now, there are some altcoins that are successful and if I will not ride with that, I will miss the opportunity, I'm okay with losing some as long as in the end, I'll be profitable. Hopefully in future with regulation, such scams will become more legally approachable. We can expect this to be realize as crypto is getting more popular. |

It will be difficult to recover the money confiscated by the government according to a judicial authority, but if you are a citizen of that country and you can prove that you purchased these currencies legally, the court may decide to return the money to you that you paid on the date of the payment.
In general, this case is extremely rare, so do not try to buy large quantities of alternative currencies that have been newly listed or those that may be fraudulent (there are a lot of indications for this)
No chance for me as I'm in the Philippines, I bought in exchange particularly Binance, so I cannot go after the team anymore as Binance have clean themselves by giving the warning to withdraw the tokens we owned as they will delist centra. This is a learning experience for everyone since it's almost impossible to go after these people, we just have to learn how to diversify our investments. |

Nice game by the SMB, they beat the TNT by dominating them. Here are the top scorers of the game. https://pba.ph/recap?match=1902617* Lassiter - 19 points * Romeo - 16 points * Tautua - 13 points * Perez - 13 points JFM, not double-digit in scoring but he made 17 rebounds (5 of that are offensive rebounds) |

The game of basketball, especially the NBA has a huge changes. Flopping was a part of the game even before, but because of the physicality soft fouls was usually uncalled. So, players like LeBron, Harden, and others who didn't get enough calls will exaggerate the contact, thus flopping will be the result. The calls was changed too, they added too many soft calls that even taunting an opponent after a highlight moves will be a technical foul today.
Also, the defense was also changed maybe because of the range the players can do to score today.
I feel like soft calls should be called. Because if soft calls are uncalled, physical players as you mentioned like (Lebron or Harden) will somewhat abuse that. That does not help in a tactical point of view in my opinion. Yes, physicality in a sport is important, but I don't want it to get prioritized over the tactical side of the game. I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you, Harden is not a Physica IMO, he is soft as I thought, he masters the flopping that's why he takes a lot of free throw in the game, James also did the same, so there's no NBA star now that doesn't know how to flop, it's been part fo the game already, what a shame. |

The gambling sites that I'm using are not listed here, I hope one day they'll come up with the same strategy to attract more gamblers and if it's not risky on their part to play with the price volatility.
Not sure if they need more licenses to operate a gambling platform like this, but it's a great addition, at least gamblers do not need to use the exchange to convert their asset into a different coin, and as long as the rate is acceptable, this should attract gamblers.

If you look at the current market situation, it is certain that the bulls have returned as most of the altcoins have experienced very good growth. although the increase in each coin has not been maximized but I believe this positive trend will continue until every altcoin gets its ATH back.
That's not possible, so you mean even a bad project would also reach an ATH? I think investors are smarter this time, not in the old days that they have a little idea, they certainly have learned from their past experience so we might be seeing some altcoins having significant gains, but it doesn't apply to any altcoins we see in the market. IMO, Bitcoin has to create a new ATH yet so we will see another huge altcoins run. |

Kindly read the article that you posted, there's no mentioned of covid-19. What the articles says that they are going to proceed despite Oscar Valdez testing positive for a ban substance and not covid-19 related. Next time be careful of posting articles that you haven't read at all. And it's obvious that if you are covid-19 positive, you will not be allowed to fight.
His A sample came positive and then the B sample as well, meaning the ban substance is already in his system. We don't know if this is the first time he has taken it or not, but yeah this could leave a bad taste for fans and boxers as well. Perhaps his team failed to take into consideration the cycle that's why they are caught red handed by the governing bodies. Correction i got it wrong and mis-understood that positive test is not related to covid. So they are referring the drug test ? The Oscar Valdez-Robson Conceicao fight will move forward as planned despite Valdez’s recent positive test for the stimulant Phentermine in a random test conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association on Aug. 13, with the positive test result being returned on Monday, multiple sources told The Ring on Thursday. Yeah, I was also reading the article and I search for the covid-19 but can't find it, instead it's the drug test that Valdez was tested positive. However, what they found is not enough to stop the right, hence the fight will continue despite that. This is the reason why the fight would still proceed as scheduled. for the source you shared: Valdez’s most recent drug test, which was conducted on Monday, was negative for all banned substances, according to a letter from VADA chief Dr. Margaret Goodman sent to those involved and obtained by The Ring. However, it only takes about 48 hours for Phentermine to clear the system, according to experts. |

Billy Joe Saunders' first loss but was a devastating one, we saw the power of Canelo in that fight, he was not too aggressive in getting his opponent but he is using his brain to ensure that he will win the fight and slowly dismantle the opponent. I can't remember anymore how many undefeated fighters he beaten during the pandemic.
That's the right term. Canelo is using his brain in each fight that he has. Observing and not rushing things out, he just waiting for the right timing and not to allow his opponent to reorganize once he throw solid punches. We've seen him from all those previous fights where he won and continue to dominate his division. Plant needs to outsmart Canelo if he wanted to win this fight, he can use the same tactics observing and trying to absorb those heavy punches that Canelo may throw to him and find the better angles where to hit back and try to make killer punch to win. And that is what makes Canelo so scary right now, most of his fights have been won without the need for him to use some desperation tactic and attack relentlessly, he waits, analyzes his opponent and when the time is right then he can throw a few but incredibly powerful punches and win the fight, so whoever has any plan of betting him needs to have great endurance and the ability to take him out of his game plan, something easier said than done. He knows he has the power to knockout anyone, but him being a mature boxer and with a big number of fights he won, he will not easily get intimidated and he will always stick with the game plan, slowly but surely, Canelo will destroy anyone who is in front of him. |
