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.

I like to ask, I'm browsing at the official website of the PBA, but until now there's still no schedule.

Had they finalize the schedule already, or they are still waiting for the final approval of the IATF?
Please share your knowledge for anyone who knows the current status.

We might see the resumption of the season next week.

As per the latest update, https://pba.ph/news/pba-bacolor-journey-week-one-sked-out-tuesday.

Quote
Either a tripleheader on Wednesday or a doubleheader on Thursday kicks off the tournament restart at the DHVSU gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

No schedule is listed for now, but they will likely to resume next week, so just a little patient for now.

Wonder what's the average age of this current Lakers roster, 36?  Grin
I can't wait to read news on injury from several Laker players by first half of the season Grin I'm also expecting heavy injuries on the Nets with players on similar age range.

Carmelo Anthony is the oldest at 37 years old, but I think though the average age of the entire roster is at least 30, I think they are still fit to play and they have the experience. If they are good at managing their roster, then we might not see a serious injury of this team next season.

They have a lot of veterans and the 2nd unit is a strong team, so there's no need to force the starting 5 heavy minutes just to win.

There will be more complaining about how tight the schedules are again.
I don't we don't hear that as it's very unfair for the other teams.

Playing all healthy,? the chance of winning the title is really high for SMB.

The power combo of Romeo and CJ with Fajardo and Mo' adding Santos to complete the power 5 for me personally.
coming off the bench, there's still the big 3 of Lassiter, Cabagnot and Ross.

If the topic is about playing all healthy, I'll go with BGSM or Magnolia.

Let's face the fact here. SMB is not the way before. Aging hitting them up. I hope no criticism from the die-hard SMB fans here that just looking at the names instead of status. Cheesy We have different views.

But personally, I like Phoenix, ROS, or TNT to reach the final or be a champion this conference for a change.

Let's give them one more season, they had an early exit last season but that is because JMF was injured and he was not able to play, this season, he is healthy and Romeo is healthy as well, I think after this season we can make a conclusion whether they are still the best team or not anymore.
2725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: August 29, 2021, 08:42:13 AM


Casimero might have an advantage over Donaire but it doesn't mean a sure win. I don't want to compare the Rigo vs Casimero to Rigo vs Donaire. They should clash no matter what before facing Inoue.

So far there's no official announcement of the fight everything is just speculation but Inoue already announce his intention because of the disrespectful words coming out from Casimero, whoever Inoue fought it's going to be a must watch because Inoue is the most exciting of this generation, he could become the next Manny Pacquiao.

I wonder if it will still be exciting if he will fight Rigondeux.  Smiley

Inoue is a great fighter, but he is more effective if an opponent will try to fight toe to toe against him or a slow fighter, and Casimero and Donaire's style would really fit Inoue's style as they don't run, they would want to fight toe to toe and that's why people are hoping the fight will happen to witness an entertaining fight.

I am sorry to see you go!
^ I felt the same as you, just so sad to see an old and legitimate gambling site was closing, I don't know what is the possible reason but I can sense that probably gambling business as of now has a small revenue and I think they did not survive in that way since there are tons of gambling casino out there who also operate as the competition to each other. This BetBTC casino belonged to a good example casino and have a proper closing and they return the user's money. A big salute to them.

The thread was created last "November 13, 2014", if they have some BTC reserves, they certainly had made a lot of profit already and they can close business and enjoy the profit. What's amazing is that they were able to maintain their good reputation despite the long years of running their business already.

This is the only scam accusation I saw doing some quick google search and they were able to answer it professionally.

If you still hold Centra now,  I don't know if you can still that asset.
This was a successful project in the past as they raised a good amount and even listed it in Binance.

Anyone here still holding the coin and hopeful they'll monetize it?
this is a very old story. I was also involved in it, and at that time I was holding CTR of around $2500. however, when I heard that the CEO was involved in a fraud case, and had cheated quite a lot of money, I immediately sold the tokens when the price had dropped. however, I think there are still quite a lot of people who sell their CTR too late and still have it in their wallets. well, I can only pray for them to be patient, and immediately get the benefits of another place that is more reliable.

I don't know if being patient would reward them anymore, the CEO is already in jail and there's no chance the project will continue to be developed as we have not read some updates of this project from the team. If you look at https://etherscan.io/token/0x96A65609a7B84E8842732DEB08f56C3E21aC6f8a, it still has a value of $0.02 and there's some recent transactions.

Scammers are at it again sending out bulk mails disguised to be from pancakeswap congratulating you on winning some free ethereum or other coin. The link below is attached to it disguise to be wallet connect link which will require your confirmation on your wallet to claim the free coin. https://walletsconts.com/claim_token.htm.

If you receive such mail, make sure you don't follow the link on your wallet or give any permission in order to stay safe from their scam.


If you get any unsolicited email with some sort of link telling you you've gotten something for free it's ALWAYS a scam.  I can't believe people actually still fall for these.  Hasn't everyone learned if it's too good to be true...it is!  Be vigilant crypto is littered with scammers.

Sometimes the need for money and the lack of knowledge about crypto investing could really result to getting scams. We need some basic knowledge before we start investing in crypto, we don't only look at the potential to make money but more so the high risk that is always here because it could easily take our dreams with just one mistake. Some people work hard to grow their investment, and then one simple mistake like what you've mentioned, they lose everything and get discouraged from investing again.

This could be just a simple mistake but it could cost our entire investment.
2729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I need some Altcoin to hold longterm :D on: August 28, 2021, 08:00:17 PM
if for the long term I really believe in coins that have many current users such as ETH, BNB or ADA it slightly reduces the risk of loss because with very many users it is very possible for the coin to last a long time.
but if you want to invest again in yourself because at this time there are so many places for us to learn about crypto and also be able to analyze it first before deciding to invest.

These are the top 3 on the altcoins market, they'll likely survive and probably grow more in the future. Holding it for the long term is really good especially for BNB which I see a lot of potentials to grow and could possibly surpass the price of ETH in the long run. The market cap of BNB is still very low compared to ETH, so an increase of 5 times from its current price is really possible even in a short period of time.
2730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: August 28, 2021, 07:35:02 PM


Then that must be impossible to happen because these 2 boxers has their own attitude in treating their upcoming fights.

Casimero is often in talking , while Inoue wasn't even saying a word.

Whatever they do outside the ring everything will be settled in the ring, I like Inoue's attitude than Donaire, for him, it's a sport he doesn't take things personally and he has huge respect for his opponent, this is a hurting business you can paralyze yourself or your opponent it's better not to take things personally and show your respect to your opponents, one-day Casimero will learn a hard lesson after he gets knocked out, hopefully, it will be Inoue who will knock him out.

You are the one who do took things too personally as a fan but since we do have our own impression on things then i do still respect on that.If you do know that trashtalking isnt really that appealing for most people

but you know that these acts do really make fights do sell well even though impression of people to you would really be not good and there would be some hate in attached to that.

If you do know personally specially Casimero then lots had been saying that he's a good man. Its just our own personal point of view.

Casimero is just aggressive in selling the fight but in face-off's he isn't really that antagonistic like Broner. In fact, in the face-off with Rigondeaux, he wasn't annoyed when Rigondeaux touches his belt.

It's already confusing which fight will really materialize because Casimero, Donaire, and Inoue are matched to each other. If Arum can't decide because he wants to maximize his profits why not put the 3 inside the ring.  Cheesy



What matters to him is he can sell the fight and Casimero's style is very effective because he was noticed by Inoue and the champion wanted to schedule a fight because he got insulted with Casimero's trash talk. Arum could make more money with the match of Casimero vs his cash cow (Inoue), but fighting a prime Casimero could potentially end result to Inoue's first loss.
2731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: August 28, 2021, 01:08:28 PM
Either Inoue vs Casimero or Casimero vs. Donaire is good. But I am honestly more excited to see Casimero vs Inoue. That would be more explosive. I'd definitely watch that fight and be entertained no matter who turns out the winner.

I'd rather see Donaire vs Casimero first. I like to see Casimero having another match first before entering the final stage which is dealing against Naoya Inoue. We didn't see Casimero at 100% during the fight with Rigo as the latter is always on defense and running mode. And for Donaire, he's no chance for a rematch against Inoue if he won't pass Casimero first to finished the unsettled business.

There will be more good impressions and possibly more recognition if Casimero will pass Donaire first. Winning against Donaire will create a bigger market too for Casimero.
Bottom line, the next match should be just between these 3. If Arum will spoil it and find other boxers instead, which I found there's a chance, we won't know.

Casimero Vs Donaire would be best. Its unification and the first time in the history of Philippine boxing that there will be Pinoy vs Pinoy unifying a world title. Donaire should just forget about that trash talk, it's part of the game now in boxing.

Casimero receives a big approval from a lot of boxing analysts. talagang mag ibubuga ito. among the top fighters in the Philippines, he stands out.


Casimero is a Good boxer same as Donaire but about the speed and power today? it is casimero in which advantageous here.
About the speed, there's no difference I guess, but the power, surely Casimero has the advantage.
Donaire is named The Flash, which means he is fast, but he is not anymore as fast as before, the fastest in the division is Rigo, lol.


Like manny pacquiao , Nonito Donaire is also in His last days in boxing in which we can see on how he manage to box recently .

while Casimero is still fresh , aging 31 while Nonito is 38 ? i will surely bet on John Riel in this fight .

Donaire won his last fight that's why his name is fresh again, if he lose in his next fight against Inoue or Casimero, then he could use his age as an excuse.
2732  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is EOS dead? on: August 28, 2021, 12:31:27 PM
It is not dead. But right now it is falling behind. The future is so uncertainty so that it can take over ethereum in the next 10 years or sort of. I still believe that this decade is still for building the foundation for the future of cryptocurrency. You can see that people are putting the immense amount of money just to build the ecosystem or generate profit. Thus, EOS is having a great system with the ability to grow more. We cant determine the project in just a few months. Just wait for a decade and see, the strong will survive and I believe EOS is one of those strongest
Sometimes even if the market is bulish, not every coin will rise because with the big number of competition, people would invest in a coin that has good recent developments and thus far, there's not much of positive news we can see about EOS, so it's outshined by its competitors.

After all, the king is always bitcoin.
There's no doubt bitcoin is still the king as it holds a big dominance in the market.
2733  Other / Off-topic / Re: Pacquiao vs Ugas rematch on: August 27, 2021, 09:42:55 PM
As a Filipino and really wants to support every Filipino boxer and Manny Pacquiao is the all-time greatest, me a rematch is not really needed, I really think that he has now a frail body for a 42 of age, and I have seen in one of our mainstream media, he has been literally spooned feed by his wife Jinkee Pacquiao because he can not open his eyes because it was swollen after the fight with Yordenis Ugas, and that was for 3 days, I really think he doesn't really need that rematch and settle down with his family, but it is still his decision and right now his friend and Coach Buboy Fernandez said he wants a befitting end on Pacquiao boxing career, so a 1 more fight will surely not hurt him.

If Manny did listen to us he would not become where he is now, he definitely knows what he is doing, I understand the concern, but that loss is still one loss and he as a champion by heart would want to prove that despite his age, it's not a hindrance for him being successful. His corner still believes in him and it's normal that the first reaction after the loss is that a fighter would think of quitting, but later he realizes that he is a warrior and he wants to have another chance.

Now, I'm also convinced that Manny still has something to give, his speed is his advantage and hopefully, he can have that in the rematch.

Good news for SMB fans.

Terrence Romeo on pace for comeback in Pampanga games

Seeing Romeo playing with a healthy SMB, makes me believe that they might win the championship this conference. They have a lot of scorers and they are good in defense as well, CJ Perez and Romeo if they will play with good chemistry, I think they can carry the SMB to the championship, of course with the help of JMF.
2735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy now or wait? on: August 27, 2021, 08:43:43 PM
actually this is the right time to buy or add more crypto assets, because in my opinion the price of coins in the market now is still not too high and still has the potential to go higher
That's right, while there is still a good opportunity or time, I don't think it hurts to buy,
even so we also need to do analysis and research on coins so that we can buy coins properly,
obviously consider well before buying
We always have the opportunity to buy, the question is the timing of buying as we buy to hold and sell at the right time when profit is due. No one holds forever, in fact, we want to see the price pump early so we don't have to wait longer to hold and take profit, so it's important to buy when the price is at dip as that is the right timing.

2737  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Advice on trends on: August 26, 2021, 09:03:47 PM
the trend will not be centered on a few coins even if they are on top of crypto altcoins like ethereum or litecoin. but I think the coin trend can be completely on any coin that gets the hype. so analyze more coins and don't focus on just a few coins.
other than that for the time is not predictable. in 7 days the trend is always changing. but weekends usually the trend will experience a slight decrease
I think doing analysis with more coins will be much better for sure,
because after all trends can happen to any coin and cryptocurrencies are not just about top coins,
by analyzing more coins of course it is not easy because it requires a lot of energy and time
It depends on your time because you will only follow them before you decided to invest, you also need to follow the development when you are already holding the coins you bought, and it's very risky because if you miss some information, you might lose your investment. Therefore, if you have this kind of strategy, make sure you'll be able to monitor your holdings closely so you'll be able to make a timely decision.

The fees on the Ethereum network are likely to always be high.

Then we can no longer expect that ETH is good for gambling as a payment method.

For bitcoin, we can enjoy a lower fee if we transact at the right timing, we can play less than a dollar for a huge transaction, unlike ETH where the transaction fee is still consistently high. As the gambling sites are updating as to what coins they will accept, I guess it's not hard for us to find an altcoin to use in gambling.
2739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 25, 2021, 09:14:02 PM
One reason I can think of is that they can offer IT a one year veteran salary just like what they offered to others. If IT bite then it's good for the Lakers are they can work it out within their budget. And there's not much left players to trade, they have overhauled their roster already.

Yeah, I agree that he is no longer the same IT when he was traded to Cleveland because of so many injuries. But the guy can score easily every game and can give quality minutes while in the floor, if some of the Lakers stars are resting.

His main goal at the moment is to return to the NBA. So I think Thomas will be happy even if the Lakers or any other teams offer him a 1-year contract with a minimum salary. By the way, it seems that IT is still a good scorer, considering that he was able to score 81 points in a pro-am league game a couple of weeks ago.

Based on his stats, I think he cannot do it anymore in the NBA in a normal game.

In his last season playing with the Pelicans, his scoring is down to single-digit average only.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thomais02.html

IMO, that doesn't look good but I know his impact on the floor is huge as a 2nd unit, only if another team will sign him again.
