2701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 05, 2021, 11:58:17 AM

Casimero now confirmed that he is scheduled for a fight against Naoya Inoue later this year. He even provides the date, December 11, 2021.

But that's the only details he shared. Maybe too excited as he should not public any details, even the date, until done deal. I think the fight is now under negotiation as that was the logical thing to think.

https://sports.inquirer.net/435032/casimero-says-fight-with-inoue-finally-pushing-through
Yes, he has said that a few days ago. But many are still not believing him and waiting for the official announcement by their promoters.

Still waiting for the final negotiation and contract signing.

I think I would consider this as very reliable information, though no contract signing yet but both fighters had already announced that the fight will push through. It's not the only speculation, this is a real fight and we have been waiting for this for a very long time, the time for judgement has come.

Arum has to make some announcements then everything will be final.  Smiley

DYIP -4.5 is a good pick @1.91.

They can cover it not just because they beat two SMC recently but their opponent, Blackwater has a hellish performance on all their games this conference. I don't even think placing a bet for them +4.5 is a good pick. I don't know why bookies only gave that small line to Blackwater knowing their games are all poor.

Congrats mate, DYIP had won again and they cover that spread, they are on a 3 winning streak and they are the hottest team now, I'm sure they will continue winning and they will surprise the big teams in the PBA. Nice for them, they have a balanced attack in this win and everyone was really stepping up.

96-84 was the final score, DYIP won by 12 points.
2703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: September 04, 2021, 09:34:33 PM
lol.. look at the interview, that dirty finger really insulted Inoue and his follower as it's not the first time Casimero did it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7L7ldWijPA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfvM_Bbw974

I'm sure everyone will be over once they'll fight, no more trash talking as the talk will be done in the ring.

The fight will be more exciting now as they are heated well before the fight.
Hey mate, thanks! I haven't seen this part. I'm aware of the trash talking but not this part and I now get it why Inoue said that they should get things done inside the ring and not with social media. Well, I stand to be corrected and I now understand the intensity that's about to come when there will sure blow being made by Inoue to Casimero. I guess we've been used to this type of match and this will keep going when the other boxers finally saw how effective this strategy to take a fight.

The strategy of Casimero is too much, it's so disrespectful that's why Inoue had decided to finish his trash talk and punish him by beating him to the ground, that was his statement so it's gonna be an intense fight if they'll meet since Casimero is also known a warrior and he has not suffered a monstrous defeat yet against any fighter in his life.
2704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: September 04, 2021, 08:23:21 PM
Well, Casimero has been chosen because of what he did on social media and that's effective on him to take this match. What everyone stands right now is about the official announcement.
I guess that we'll be having that anytime soon when things have been settled within a month or two since this year is about to end and it came from Casimero that the match will happen by December.
If the fans of Inoue did not react to Casimero's tirades, then we would not see this fight this month. Thanks to the fans also because they take it as their fight urging Inoue to fight and punish the trash-talking Casimero. I think the noise that he made is already enough to sell this fight, not only in Japan but for the other countries as they made their names popular due to the impressive past wins.
There's no need for the fan's approval or attack with the tirades done by Casimero. The noise has been effective and that's why this match is going to happen.
Casimero is chosen instead of Donaire. They're both considered huge names and that's why there's a good market value for their promoters and they just can't let this pass.
lol.. look at the interview, that dirty finger really insulted Inoue and his follower as it's not the first time Casimero did it.

Just like a business, there's no assurance that it will continue to operate in the future even how profitable they are now. Bad projects are those projects that do not have the intention to make the project successful from the very beginning, so we should avoid them and we will only know if we pay attention by making a research before investing. 

Not everything we see in the market now is opportunities, most of them disguise to be legit but in reality, they are run by scammers.
2706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 04, 2021, 07:37:13 AM
If he is going to make accusations he should have done that when they are making a deal, not when the fight is progressing, he just wants to annoy Canelo, which I think is a cheap trick he can thrash talk him but accusing of taking an enhancement drug is very personal and putting Canelo in a bad light, whatever strategy he employs, he will have a tough time beating Alvarez.

I agree. The best strategy for Plant would be to keep a low profile, and avoid provoking Canelo. Trash talk never works in the ring, as we have seen from numerous cases earlier. All that said, I am not sure whether Plant made the statements on his own. Sometimes the organizers want cheap publicity and they ask the fighters to make such controversial statements. IMO, I don't think that it is fair to blame Canelo for the positive test from Oscar Valdez. That said, Alvarez tested positive for Clenbuterol in 2018, which he claims to have come from eating contaminated meat.

This controversy is just temporary, once the right is over, eventually, they will stop talking and people will forget. Lots of doubts when the fight is easily beating his opponent, just like during the prime of Manny Pacquiao when some think he is unto enhancement drugs, but it was not proven.
2707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [WARNING!] For gamblers using coins.ph on: September 04, 2021, 06:41:34 AM
Before I used the coins.ph for withdraw and deposit but there's no restriction prompt on my transaction, they stated already that they prohibits the use of deposit and withdrawal into a gambling platform you can use an exchange to deposit or withdraw to your platform. If you are a filipino I guess this topic could be discuss here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1558587.0
Not everyone is active in the local, so I guess this is a good awareness for everyone who is still gambling using their coins.ph account as their sender and receiver. There were talks in the past already that their account was lock and they suspected it's because the account is used for gambling purposing.

I'm guilty of using my account in gambling too, so I have a fear that one day it might get locked.
2708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 03, 2021, 09:10:54 PM
Alex Cabagnot is still dealing with his back injury. There's no ETA when he will return.

https://sports.inquirer.net/434975/pba-terrence-romeo-back-alex-cabagnot-out-for-san-miguel



Even without Cabagnot, the SMB can still make it, they just have to correct their errors and that is important is that majority of the players are healthy especially Fajardo who is the heart and soul of the team, a lose against the DYIP does not make them a bad team, that's normal, they just have to player better next time so they would still improve their standing.

Thanks for the information @goinmerry and thank you @Kelvinid  for sharing your opinion about Cabagonot. Well, with that news, I think I will not anymore expect that he will come back this season, so hopefully, SMB will not lose again as they already have 2 losses which might make them in a twice to beat disadvantage during the elimination if the PBA still has the same rules applied this season.

No worries, we all have our opinion but it doesn't mean it's right. We did not even see Tiongson to be this good leading his team in beating the two Giants in the PBA, so it's okay to use our freedom here to express what we believe.

They are in hot topic now.  Smiley

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/players-acquired-in-trades-leading-the-charge-for-terrafirma-in-2021-philippine-cup-restart-a795-20210903?ref=home_featured_big

THE GIANT SLAYER!

Nice article, if they will not be able to continue their run, this article will be the highlights of their career this season. Honestly, I don't expect them to beat the SMB or BGSM twice if they will again face this conference as I'm sure they had already prepared on how to limit Tiongson their golden boy now

I am not underestimating the DYIP, but they just got hyped up after a bad start this conference, so we can't avoid of thinking that maybe they are just lucky enough.
2709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 03, 2021, 09:10:00 AM
Terrafirma is on the roll again.

1st half is over and they are in the lead now.
The score currently is 46-51 in favor of the Terrafirma .

Will we see the same upset they did against SMB, or the Ginebra will come back strong to dominate the 2nd half? Let's find out together.

I can't believe, it's already 2 in a row, after beating the SMB, they now beat the BGSM.

Wow! This team is really surprising, what possibly they have done during the break?

Tiongson again is the top scorer with 31 points, this guy is unstoppable.
2710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 03, 2021, 08:32:50 AM
Like OgNasty mentioned earlier Paul Millsap will become a player of the Brooklyn Nets.
The former Denver Nuggets player will be coached by coach Steve Nash after exploring the free agency.
Although the figures of the deal have not been disclosed yet, it should cover only one year at minimum salary. Brooklyn gets a profile of enormous experience basically low cost!


The strategy is very similar with the LA Lakers, they are getting low-cost players with good experience and Millsap will definitely be useful for the Nets to their campaign to the championship next season. They failed last season due to injury, so hopefully, it will not happen again so we will see the best teams playing in the NBA Finals.
2711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Advice on trends on: September 02, 2021, 09:39:33 PM
Since cryptocurrencies have become global now with all around the globe join in trading, I don't think you can see a stand-out between timezone or days where it behaves differently than the other. So forget about trend as it can be abruptly random and even if you somehow spot it.

This is true, everyone can trade 24/7 wherever you are in this globe. And that's the beauty of crypto trading, you can basically do your own trade at the comfort of your home at anytime you want. And there are a lot of choices to go to, but of course, better trade with reputable ones. So right now, really hard to get these trends as the factors in play is quite diverse.

There's no specific time based on daily/weekly/monthly trend, the trends that we are looking are the bullish trend and bearish trend, with that two different market situations, we can make implement our strategy to benefit from it, I know everyone knows already that strategy as being a trader, it's a basic knowledge to know when we will buy or sell at the right timing.
2712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Centra Tech: Founders Sentenced on: September 02, 2021, 08:42:47 PM
This was a successful project in the past as they raised a good amount and even listed it in Binance.

I am sorry but maybe i am missing the point here. How was this successful? It was an illegal ICO from the start so i wouldn't call that a success. Funny thing is that there are others targeted from illegal sale of securities as well, people just don't know it yet until info on that is public. Personally i am amazed that they didn't do research on this before. Or maybe their legal team is just really bad.

Successful in a manner that they were able to raise a huge amount during the ICO, and successful that they get listed in Binance and had some great volume during their stay. No one knows it's an illegal ICO until the SEC goes after them.

AFAIK, the promoters of this that includes those celebrities have already been charged for promoting and accepting this scam project. And this has been long time delisted already in Binance since 2018.
https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/360002428872

They just got penalized though, so this project really has a big capital to start as they were able to hire a celebrity to promote the project, unfortunately they lack knowledge on the technicalites.
2713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: September 01, 2021, 12:40:31 PM
Seems like there's a big possibility that the fight will happen this year.

Now, we have more specific information coming from Casimero and he is talking about a specific date.

John Riel Casimero says he will fight Naoya Inoue in December

Quote
Three-division world champion John RIel Casimero said he will fight undefeated Japanese boxer Naoya Inoue later this year.

In a YouTube video posted on Monday, the WBO world bantamweight said he will fight Inoue in December.

"Next laban natin, magandang laban 'to. Naoya Inoue, December 11," he said.

[Our next fight is a good one. Naoya Inoue, December 11.]

This another social media hype for Casimero pushing the fight to make sure Inoue will comply.

Good for him as he keeps getting that attention of Inoue and his fans. More talks and published it in his social media account, the more
attention is getting, and the interest keeps flowing for this fight.
Expect more such kinds of post coming from him and possibly also with Inoue's camp. It's really interesting to see them inside the ring.

Though this isn't official yet the news is very positive that Inoue is keeping his words to let this fight happen this year. Casimero will not stop talking if he does not hear good news yet regarding his challenge to the champion, and since this is a unification fight, it should be easy to create hype for this fight and Arum has no excuse that he cannot sell this fight.
2714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 01, 2021, 11:50:24 AM
Did anyone see it coming?

lol. IIRC, SMB is -14 against the Terrafirma DYIP and yet they lose in the game, what a lucky win for those who got the balls to put their bet on the DYIP to beat the SMB. The game went into OT and the final score is 110-104.
2715  Economy / Economics / Re: Life Insurance and Blockchain on: August 31, 2021, 03:39:20 AM
For me, this is good, because it promotes transparency and it's easy for the clients to complain if they don't qualify for the insurance while they are paying their premiums. Maybe for some, it's quite complicated but in reality, it really reduce the work, it will not only help the company to reduce manpower but to gain confidence among their clients because of the TRANSPARENCY that we don't get on some insurance providers.
2716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 31, 2021, 02:58:29 AM
IMO covid in six teams is too much already. Even if it is in only four teams, they can cancel the season already.

I agree with you. I even think 3 teams is enough to call it over. 3 teams can already give a long delay for the continuation of the season since their games will be a delay. As the usual quarantine period is 14 days, that's a long period.

If things go on like that, why not PBA just rest for a year or two to save cost. Don't mind the entertainment part as there are other sports as well that Filipino fans can watch and these people will understand that the temporary rest of PBA is necessary.

That's easy to say for us but the PBA players have to make a living and they need to feed their families.

Maybe the PBA organization sees it, that's why they still want to continue the season in a semi-bubble format. I don't know why only in the Philippines do we struggle, but in other countries, basketball leagues are ongoing, even in America which has the highest rate of infection.
2717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 30, 2021, 12:28:02 AM
There's still time, and they can win a championship again. Their biggest addition was actually Westbrook, he is a superstar with the same level of James Harder, Kevin Durant, and even Kyrie Irving, so this team will be full of confidence to win every game once the season will start.

Westbrook has a very huge salary, https://hoopshype.com/player/russell-westbrook/salary/
So it's just right to expect a lot from him, he should help the king to have an easy journey in winning a championship again.

I think the lakers with +350 odds to win a championship is very enticing.
https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds
They've taken another superstar on their team and they're expecting him to play at his best with the king.

Just as what we have seen with last year's Brooklyn, they're looking like they are today but still, it is undeniable that they still got what it takes to lead in the finals.

Also with Rondo's addition, another playmaker.

A good playmaker is what the Lakers need, if Lebron is injured, there's should be someone who should step up and lead the team. This season, it will not be hard for the Lakers even if Lebron will rest, they have Rondo and Westbrook who are good point guards and could definitely lead a team to win.

Just imagine, if Rondo and PG were able to bring the OKC to the playoffs, it's not impossible with the lakers that he has a lot of superstar around him, he got Lebron and Davis whom are consistent when it comes to contribution to the team.
2718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: August 29, 2021, 09:24:05 PM
I think with all the sponsors he will be getting he may be making well over a million dollars along with the guaranteed fees and it will be the biggest payday in his career and i am sure if Tyron Woodley looses against Jake Paul he will call out his brother Logan Paul .

This is what I do not understand? Tyron was a world champion in UFC and everyone is saying that he will make more money in this fight than his entire career. How is that true?

The short answer? Dana White. The UFC is a cash printing machine that chews up fighters and spits them out. Occasionally they’ll prop up a Connor or Ronda to get the hype going, but a majority of UFC fighters aren’t making enough money to live on from their fighting alone. Meanwhile the UFC and it’s owners get to be on top of the world. These are the types of things that won’t last. Fighters are already doing their own thing and proving they don’t need the UFC.

That's why exhibition fights like this help them to improve their chances to make more money. I'm pretty sure that we will see more of the exhibition fights not only involving the Paul brothers but with other popular fighters in MMA too. As they say, there's life after retirement, and exhibition matches could be their life if they still don't lose that passion to fight.

I can only hear popular names in UFC, yes Coner is making a lot of money, not only in UFC but even in boxing as he got his biggest payday when he fought Mayweather. $100 million for that fight including PPV as reported https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-how-much-did-conor-mcgregor-make-in-the-fight-against-floyd-mayweather/
2719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: August 29, 2021, 08:38:49 PM
Is Inoue open to fight Casimero now?

I know its normal for some boxer to trashtalk because it can trigger your opponent to challenge you and see whose stronger but I dont like this behavior of Casimero.

Anyway their first scheduled fight were postponed last April so hopefully this will happen soon. Since like what the article stated, Casimero is willing to go to Inoue's territory just to fight him.

He is open to fight and he answered that they should do it inside the ring. But Casimero just came from a recent fight so there's still a resting time.
The thing is that we don't know if they're already communicating and setting this match as soon as possible.

They can schedule the fight by December, I'm sure Casimero had already had some rest now, and they can also start training as soon as the contract is signed. It's open to the public that Inoue wanted to have this fight this year, but until there's no contract signed, we can't assure we will see it this year.

For me the fight should happen next year, whether in US or in Inoue's Japan.

I agree that they need to rest first, one fight a year will be good enough. Besides although fans are still allowed to watch the fight live, it's better to happen in 2022 as more people have been vaccinated by then. And maybe they need to work out the terms of the fight and there could be a lot of back and forth changes

Some fighters can have 3 fights in one year.

Liked Canelo Alvarez will have his 3rd fight this year with Caleb Plant. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/348759

While Casimero and Inoue only had one fight this year so far, I think they are still good for the last one which could be scheduled in the last month of the year. I think Inoue should have not said that he wants to fight Casimero this year if he is not serious with that.

I think the lakers with +350 odds to win a championship is very enticing.
https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds



It's really enticing but that's for the NBA winner. I guess it will be easier if you'll just put a bet on them to win the western conference finals and get the odds of +165. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-21-22-60f9572f41ddce1ac040cdfa

If the Nets will win in the East and the Lakers will be in the West, we would see good betting odds as there will be bettors that would be interested in both sides.

Honestly I can't see the Lakers winning the championship.  Looks like they are adding Rondo who is 35.  This is the oldest team I've ever seen.  This never works as far as building a team.  It's almost like they are taking anyone with a name. 

Sorry man, I am just so hype with the names that the Lakers have added, they were already good last season if Davis was not injured, now they get back Rondo and Howard who are big contributors in their last championship win, and not only that, Westbrook is just so great that could anytime explode and give a problem to the opposing teams.

Quote
Lakers injury list is going to be as long as their available players by mid season.
Due to age it could possibly happen, but I'm hoping they'll be back healthy in the playoffs as that's the most important stage.
