2721  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Hong Kong consider Bitcoin? on: August 17, 2022, 02:36:34 PM
What I do know is that Hong Kong is part of China. I doubt that they will escape the scrutiny of the "parent" state even just planning to adopt an entity they are clearly opposed to. This is clear defiance.
Hong Kong is only administratively separated but military defense is still completely dependent on China. So taking the step of adopting bitcoin as a financial solution may just be a pseudo plan, or else they will have to let go of all dependence on China and become an independent country first.
Exactly and there is a very tiny chance that Hongkong can even secede from huge China. If the Chinese central government is opposed to bitcoin then it will never allow Hongkong to consider it as a legal tender. The Chinese central government is starting to show its muscles in Hongkong government. AFAIK there were a lot of deals from western nations that got canceled by China or by the west itself. Before 2030 I won't be surprised if Hongkong will already become a full pledged Chinese territory and democracy becomes in the name only. 
2722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How profitable Is investing in a crypto casino or sportbook? on: August 17, 2022, 01:57:58 PM
Recently, I came across information about how much casinos earn and wanted to ask if this data can be extrapolated to the crypto sphere?

I know that crypto gaming portals are very profitable, but I have never come across information about how much crypto bookmakers can earn. I am especially interested in how the verified of corporate social networks affects the profits of the casino. I am also interested in how much crypto bookmakers earn on partnerships with football clubs. Any information or link to an article would be appreciated!
I am a bit confused of what OP is trying to get as an answer here.
Is it about investing in crypto casinos like what most gambling sites have features here. i.e. Yolodice (closed), Bustadice, etc...
Because they are profitable long-term but it's the reputation that you have to look out for.

Or is it about how much the bookies make?
I don't think there will be an answer here for that will be kept in secrecy. OP, are you trying to make an online gambling site or trying to be a bookie?

Exactly. My first thought is OP might want to start his own sports betting site. This won't be an easy task. The money invested alone to start is already difficult and very expensive and the next step is the marketing, maintenance, and of course its staff. And there are also no guarantees if the house will win but long term it should start to earn slowly. His sample of $10,000 earned in a year or let's say $40,000 net income in a year for 100 players. I think it is still not reasonable if the starting capital is worth a million dollars or even more.

I am not really against paid sports betting signals. But I find it awkward. I mean, if you are that good then why not bet for yourself and get rich? I can see many paid sports betting signals not just in telegram but some actually got websites and they are not really cheap with the so-called experts even showing their complete names. Well, pretty sure they followed a certain sport and watch it all the time, then study its stats, and then write their analyses for its paid subscribers.

Last year, I also joined a group wherein people are sharing their analyses and picks. I'm surprised some people were posting their picks with their analyses and then mentions for possible monetary tips if their picks will win.
2725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Tips To Aide Successful Sports Betting. on: August 17, 2022, 12:06:10 PM
In the past, there was a time when I recorded in an excel sheet all my daily net wins or losses. I stopped it already and just now I realized how funny it was although useful. The main purpose at that time was to try earning daily from betting. I was doing casino games, especially dice, and of course my favorite sports betting. I did it for nearly a year. I can say, I mostly came up with a net win daily. And I can also see my grand total net profit and it was pretty decent.

Discipline and contentment are really the main keys IMO. We should always remember that we do not have to earn millions of dollars in order to be happy. This way, greed will not rule our minds.
2726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 17, 2022, 08:55:19 AM
Ennis name though is cropping up, at least I heard Crawford talk about him, meaning he is all aware of what is going on in his division and maybe looking at the threat outside already, good sign of a well IQ boxer.

Because PBC is grooming Ennis as its next welterweight star. He is a good fighter with an excellent record of 29-0-27 but I feel like PBC is babying him. Unlike Butaev and Stanionis who only got 14 and 15 fights only but they already held the WBA regular belt and fought each other too. Vergil and Spence used to be friends as both came from Texas but there was a time that they had beef a few years ago but was settled later on. There were also talks about Vergil Ortiz and Bud Crawford before but it didn't materialize. I believe these 4 young stars will beat Thurman and maybe Crawford and Spence too after a year or two. That's why Bud and Spence should really fight this year and then they can move up in weight in order to fight the other big names.

Thanks for this info mate, seems to me that you are one of the walking vocabularies in boxing on this forum  Smiley.

I also think that Top Rank also has be blamed for why Crawford has not faced other big names in the welterweight division as for me they are babying him and not rushing him to fight the likes of Spence or Thurman but on the other hand, it might also have some advantages as hyping fighters will make more money in the end.

I don't know but I think it was my first year or second year of high school when boxing became my favorite sport. Probably influenced when I joined gangs during that time. Cheesy

As for my observation thru the years. I don't think Bob Arum or Terrence Crawford himself are scared or staying away from the other popular welterweights. I read and saw a lot of videos wherein Bud and Arum were trying to fight the PBC boys namely; Spence, Thurman, Danny Garcia, and Porter. It should be Al Haymon of PBC that is not willing to risk his underdog fighters to Bud. Ever since the creation of PBC, I cannot remember them risking a big name to a favorite fighter from another network. The Fury-Wilder happened because Wilder was favored to win over fat and recently returning Fury. Porter already had 3 losses when PBC allowed him to fight Bud, probably as a measuring stick for their main guy Spence. But these are common in boxing though those promoters will look for fights against other promoters' superstars when their fighters are favorites to win.
2727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 17, 2022, 07:50:13 AM
Speaking of trades, there seems to be a renewed interest on Donovan Mitchell from the Hornets and the Wizards.

It's going to be interesting to hear as well what will be the package that both teams are offering Utah in exchange of Mitchell.

Backcourt of Beal/Mitchell? or Ball/Mitchell? which make sense?

This was reported by:

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1559604416906272768
I'll go with Beal-Mitchell. Bradley Beal is more experienced than LaMelo Ball. However, Charlotte Hornets seem more eager to spend money than Washington Wizards. But we will see what will happen. I'll be glad for Mitchell to get traded than stay in a rebuilding team. New York Knicks is still interested in Mitchell and they also have very promising young players.    

Are there people here that play NBA Fantasy on either ESPN or Yahoo? If you need another hardcore participant then consider me. I prefer 16 teams though to make it more intense and interesting. Grin
2728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: August 16, 2022, 06:06:53 PM
Idk if this is legit or not, but T1's social media handle announced Topson and Ana as new members of their roster. Terrible edit for Topson and Ana on wearing T1's jerseys but apparently a lot of known names in the industry have been acknowledging this announcement. I thought T1 was going to poach some players from SMG or any other SEA-based teams, but they decided to go all in and get Ana and Topson.

And it seems like it's legit. Even OG's twitter handle commented on the status: https://twitter.com/OGesports/status/1559556112516628481

Oh, this is a nice surprise. I searched it and found an article.

https://afkgaming.com/dota2/news/t1-play-with-topson-and-ana-in-ti11-sea-qualifiers

Apparently, ANA is the only newest addition to T1. Topson is still a stand-in for the SEA region qualifier.

I thought Topson wanted to play to a Europe team, but I guess there is no offer from other teams.

With this development plus the news that FNATIC got a ticket to TI 11 too, then T1 might actually have a chance to enter TI11. There is lesser competition now that FNATIC is not joining the brawl in SEA Qualifiers.

TOPSON has already adopted to SEA game styles, hopefully, ANA will be able to adopt too in a short period of time.

So it is really happening then. Earlier today I saw T1 posting a picture of Spectre so I guess it was meant for Ana. Although there were speculations already for Ana joining T1 even before Gabbi, I never took them seriously. There should be other teams in Europe offering Topson but maybe he wanted to give it a try with T1 because of Ana. They already have great chemistry plus huge experiences so it's a plus.

It seems like Valve was under the influence of politics after dropping Outsiders. I'm just not satisfied with their calculations.  
2729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 16, 2022, 05:32:37 PM


A lot of basketball fans around the world reacted to this photo wherein Brooklyn superstar KD played with Boston's main man Jayson Tatum. It seems that there is still a secret ongoing trade deal and maybe they are testing the 2 superstars' chemistry. Jaylen Brown fans aren't happy seeing this. But for me, a Brown believer ever since, I don't care if he will be traded in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a rich team and if Jaylen will play there then there is a big possibility that he will become their main guy unlike in Boston. Kyrie is not young anymore with an attitude and bad shooter Ben Simmons got an attitude too.   
2730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 16, 2022, 05:12:47 PM
So far, only one thing is clear that four years have passed since the last fight between Canelo and Golovkin, and if Canelo has become stronger during this time, then GGG has become four years older, of course he should not be underestimated, but it seems to me that it is not worth expecting much either.

My same thought too. Although this is still a super-huge event, this is the type of fight that I can take a pass when there are other more interesting kinds of stuff to do. But if old GGG scores an upset or somehow makes the fight close then I will watch the replay. Grin

It is pretty clear that Canelo over the years evolved into a different level fighter after becoming undisputed in super-middleweight and snatching a belt at light-heavyweight. While GGG obviously depreciated as a fighter and another thing is he will be moving up in weight too which I believe will be his first time to fight as a full super-middleweight.

And just as EG and Outsiders barely made it into the top 12 for an automatic TI invite. I have here the most painful award, and it goes to Fnatic. Cheesy Peace Fnatic fans, I can feel the pain with that 0.05 DPC points differential.
 
Btw, have you seen the dpc points for Fnatic? It seems that the dota 2 leaderboard shows that they're the ones qualified and up by a few points for TI and not Outsiders.

Still waiting for some official announcement from Valve.

Look here --> https://www.dota2.com/esports/ti11/tistandings

Yes. I first saw it on Facebook when Fnatic fans are showing screenshots taken from the official DOTA 2 website. I think there was an error in the computations in DOTA 2 site and Liquipedia is showing the correct points (2 digits round-off). Unless there are penalties? But it will be weird if the penalty is less than a single point. Here is my calculation;

  120.0000 -1st major regional qualifiers.
    78.0000 -Supposed 1st major. 130 less 40% for the substitution.
  198.0000 -Sub total
  168.3000 -Less 15% for player removal
    20.0000 -2nd major qualifiers
  188.3000 -Sub total
  160.0550 -Less 15% for player removal
  500.0000 -3rd major qualifiers
  360.0000 -3rd major
1020.0550 -Total DPC points

+88 means you are from Bangladesh? And bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not legal tenders in Bangladesh. Or do you mean that it is still called exporting even if you are selling them within your country?

If you are selling rice within your country and accept crypto payments then perhaps it won't be a problem and I salute you for that. Unless rules are very strictly implemented like in my country. But you better be extra careful sharing it in public because either the authorities will catch you soon or corrupt officials will ask for bribes.

Exporting rice to other countries with crypto payments will be very risky as proof of payments will be needed during an audit.
2734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 15, 2022, 11:46:19 AM

Devin Haney trolling his rival Teofimo Lopez. His latest tweet was only a few minutes after Teofimo's win and many noticed it right away, especially ESPN's ringside commentators of the fight. I love it. Keep the heat going on. At least Haney walks the talk and is an undisputed champ, unlike Ryan Garcia who only owns social media belts. But Haney should not look past Kambosos though as that ex-champ has nothing to lose and might go all in their rematch.
2735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 15, 2022, 11:14:28 AM
Dan Rafael is a good source, as he is a legendary boxing writer, and let's hope that what he leaks in true though. I mean we all have been speculating this fight for months now and hope that it will happen in October, the first date that circulated. And then there is news blackout from both camps although we have seen Showtime Stephen Espinoza and even Crawford himself going into the public and giving some updates, but still it's not that clear. So again, good to hear that there is progress, but we will have to wait for the final announcement.
Yes, Dan Rafael should be reliable enough. There must be truth behind Dan Rafael's tweet. So it is not Mayweather Jr. that will announce it first though? Cheesy So it is November 12 or 19 in Las Vegas then. At least the venue is not in Spence's state of Texas and although this made Crawford inactive for a year, I hope he is pumped and ready to start his training camp.

And it also mentioned WBA regular champ Eimantas Stanionis in the undercard. Guys like Stanionis, Ortiz, Ennis, and Butaev will get their mandatory shots sooner than later. And IMO, these young guns are too risky for both Crawford and Spence. Unless Spence is happy and contented staying at welterweight forever.

Wow! Unbelievable! That was a very great performance by Team Spirit over the always odds favorite PSG LGD. Team Spirit is a whole new different level just in time when TI is only a few months away. And who saw that TORONTOTOKYO's all caps "HATERS WHERE ARE YOU NOW?" just before they entered LGD's gates to deliver its final blow? That was funny.

And just as EG and Outsiders barely made it into the top 12 for an automatic TI invite. I have here the most painful award, and it goes to Fnatic. Cheesy Peace Fnatic fans, I can feel the pain with that 0.05 DPC points differential.
 
2737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 15, 2022, 07:15:49 AM
Seems like everything has been a bit calm later on the trading front. I think teams may be settling in with what they plan to enter training camp with. The season is just right around the corner so it seems like the Nets aren’t going to be making any deals that don’t interest them. We may see a KD and Kyrie team with Ben Simmons to start the year. Talk about awkward…

Honestly who knows.  There could easily be a situation in which they are working out a deal right now, and on the flipside it can be cold as ice.  I don't think the situation is or will be awkward at all, just normal nba business during the offseason honestly.  Ayers always say it...in the end its just a business.  So if they end up on the court together I expect them 3 to dominate a ton of games together.
I think this trio combo will end in a failure. But who knows? It's time for Kyrie Irving to be serious with the game, play harder and stop his unnecessary antics if he wants a good contract after this upcoming season. The same with Ben Simmons, this might be his last chance to prove that he is still a relevant talent in the league.

I am very curious about how the Atlanta Hawks perform. My bets on the eastern conference are Philadelphia and Boston next season.

So Merge will most likely going to happen. Not 100% but considering the success of the recent tests says it all. I used to reserve some ETHs for this POS thing. It took a lot of time though which is finally going to happen next month. And I made a very bad decision selling most of my ETHs a few years ago before the whole crypto market started to bounce back. There is still time to accumulate but it is not that cheap like before but still worth it IMO.

I'd been contemplating lately about starting to mine and ETH seems to be the fastest ROI in my country with expensive electricity. But it seems that this is goodbye mining for ETH.
