Upset is always present inside boxing or any sports events. Even there are reviews that provides good information in regard with advantages but chances is always for both sides.

You can use those previous fights as basis for reviewing which fighter have a good shapes and have a good killing instinct, in which if giving an opportunities to knock the opponent down it will grab that chance immidiately.

I'll be going to check this out during the live fight, before placing bet.
In terms of an upset, this one has a higher chance in my opinion, Valdez have an undefeated record for a reason and I think it is worth banking on that possibility. Yeah, I know their stats so I know which one should I bet on.
2722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) on: February 08, 2021, 03:48:10 AM
I really doubt that this will happen. We are talking about Floyd Mayweather and 50 cents here, I get that this "celeb fight" thing became a bit more famous these days, and there are few who does it, hell maybe a decade ago even Canadian president (back then he wasn't) did it, so I get the hype for it, but I am not really fine with the fact that it should be between a famous celeb versus a real fighter, that part is a bit weird and doesn't really attract me.

What is the point of watching Mayweather beating some celeb? I mean we all know he could destroy them in under one minute if he wants to, will he do it or not? I do not know but he CAN if he wants to that is the important part. I know that 50 cents would want to fight and beat Mayweather but we also know that it is impossible for him to do that and he knows that so he is not going to even attempt at it.
The money that will pour in this celebrity fight will definitely be something to watch out for. If I were a fan of this kinds of disasters of show or a fanatic of a certain celebrity, I would go there no matter what happens. We all know that Mayweather will crush any celebrity but it wouldn't hurt to watch it, remember that we could be the people that want to watch a disaster, and this thing could humanize our favorite celebrities. To make this fight interesting, I suggest that they would not bet on who wins but a certain events should be bet on in real time like who will be the first highlight after the end of the round or who will go down first or how long will the rounds last.
2723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Miguel Berchelt vs Oscar Valdez WBC Super-Featherweight Title on: February 08, 2021, 03:13:18 AM
They are both orthodox but Berchelt has the reach and height advantage, in terms of experience they both are not that far away from each other with Berchelt having 36 wins under his belt and Valdez having a good undefeated record, in power advantage Berchelt definitely has the power advantage on this one and the age is also a factor too, with Berchelt younger than Valdez by 1 year, and experience wise, Berchelt does have one too. The odds are lower on Berchelt which means that the chances that he win will be higher but an upset can be expected.
2724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling strategies & tips from professional players on: February 08, 2021, 02:26:43 AM
It only matters for games where you can actually gain an advantage in - e.g. Poker, Blackjack etc.

For instance, I watched a lot of Blackjack Apprentice videos and found it to be super helpful in terms of bankroll management and dealing with heat. Similarly taking poker masterclasses can give you an edge against other amateur players for sure.

But when it comes to sheer games of chance such as dice, then no - there is absolutely no point on taking courses from the so called "experts". They're not going to give you an edge whatsoever and could probably charge you exuberant amounts of money for their lessons.
I could see where your getting at but if you know how to roll a certain way in dice, you can actually have higher chance to land your numbers than others who just do a Hail Mary dice throw, I don't know if that is a real tip but I have done it a long time ago and in my experience, a certain dice throw can help you get your numbers much higher. Lottery can also be based on skill, the statistics is just too big and the players that play it are just too dumb to do it.
2725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miami To Start Paying Salaries In Bitcoin Soon on: February 07, 2021, 05:20:06 AM
How about the volatility of it? Bitcoin is very volatile, this month's salary could be bigger or smaller in bitcoin value next month. Will the company shoulder all the fees when sending the salary for all their employees?

I think it should be by choice per employee, not all want to accept their money via bitcoin because price can change anytime if it's inside a bitcoin wallet. $500 is still a big difference if price fluctuates. I would prefer receiving it half in bank then half crypto so the salary from crypto can be considered a long-term investment.
AFAIK that is the case for this one, they are giving the employee a choice on how they are going to be payed. That worries me too, the volatility will definitely play a big role in this because as bitcoin as it is back then, it is still as volatile as ever. I am rooting for this to be successful although the volatility obstacle is definitely a hard one to get past.
2726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC back to All time high ..did you buy ? on: February 07, 2021, 04:32:45 AM
Observing if it's a powered breakout if the market pushes strong then I may ride it to 50K otherwise if it's a slow swell I'll let it cool down as it's not ideal to be in at the ATH
Also one of the first times ATH has appeared in two consecutive months so watching and taking notes for what to do in a future precedent.
Hopefully the market will push out of the 40k by coming days, I think that we will be looking at a another resistance at around 60k if the pattern where 20k to 30k transition was smooth were to happen again. I have to say, if another ATH looms, I will be following my planned exit price, no matter how the market will still go up.
2727  Economy / Economics / Re: Florida bank says it has closed Trump's accounts on: February 06, 2021, 08:59:35 AM
If a bank wants to not work with trump, that is fine, that is always fine, if a cake shop decides not to bake for gay people, then a bank can decide to not work with trump. Twitter CAN ban him, it is not freedom of speech issue, it is literally within their rights to not work with anyone they want. This is free market.
The cake shop is bigot but the bank is not, that is the difference. Just because they both denied their services doesn't necessarily mean that they are similar, for me that is just a pathetic excuse of bigotry. The reason that business doesn't want to do anything with Trump is because they know that it will tarnish their reputation, the reputation of the bank whereas the case with the gay hating bake shop, it is the reputation of the owner whose mind is still living in the 1940s. If it is a free market then how come we are discriminating a customer/client?
2728  Economy / Economics / Re: Will President Joe Biden be good for business? on: February 06, 2021, 08:03:15 AM
No one knows how the Joe Biden government will fulfill their promises and how they will help to make a world a better place. However we should hope for the best but at the same time prepare for the worst too. Many people are hoping to get stimulus checks but it seems that the government is trying to delay it which may cause disappointment for many voters of Joe Biden.
As a citizen that has lived long enough and has reach the age of reason, we should know by now that any words or promises made by politicians are nothing but BS that needs to be said so they can win the people's confidence into voting them into power. I saw a post in Twitter about the similarity of the people believing in politician's promise to the people who believes that the prostitutes are in love with them.

To answer the question as to whether Biden's administration will be good for business, definitely women and minorities will be a highlight in their presidency but the recent ghosting of their administration on the BLM movement after the election will definitely be a factor in this part; most programs and regulations will be targeting the recovery of the economy and considering small business are hit the hardest although they are making the big part in economy, which could mean that there is a possibility that most programs and regulations will be good for small businesses. And maybe they will give power to some big fintech companies. In conclusion, this administration will be a mixed bag.
2729  Economy / Economics / Re: The very serious discovery about prices we use to use to live to buy on: February 06, 2021, 07:15:55 AM
Well, wow, you have a list of overrated things. Your car runs on oil today, and it will run on electricity tomorrow. Gold is used in the semiconductor industry. Silver is used in the chemical industry.
You have now listed everything you use every day and say that these things are overrated? From this point of view, only you are overestimated here, and in the near future, a bag of bones will be replaced by normal and great robots and a person will not be needed. So what?
It is more of an underrated in my opinion, we do not think twice when we are using gas for cars, or electricity for that matter, because they are always there but what will happen when those things get lost, would we still be thinking the same thing, I don't think so but there is nothing wrong with that, these things are far better underrated because as most things do and what most employees agree is they work better when not bothered. I also do think that OP is overrating those things that OP mentioned.
2730  Economy / Economics / Re: Only 2% of addresses hold 1 Bitcoin or more — Is this true? on: February 06, 2021, 06:39:29 AM
I think there are still many wallets that have 1 bitcoin or more in their wallets because the 2% percentage value is very small compared to the number of wallets in circulation and many wallets cannot be accessed anymore when the price of bitcoin is still around $ 1-100, many people forget about private the key, so the conclusion is more than 2%, maybe it can reach 10% if you carefully and correctly.
Maybe what the 2% refers to is the active wallets and it does not always equate that one person is using that one wallet or that a person only has one wallet. 10% is a lot of people considering that a lot of institutional whales and traditional whales are accumulating a lot of bitcoin resulting to the decrease of wallets that are owning 1 or more bitcoin, not to mention that for an average person, 1 bitcoin is a pipe dream.
2731  Economy / Economics / Re: Wow this guy was warning many times about 2020 market crash on: February 06, 2021, 05:54:43 AM
He was completely wrong.
OP really likes to boost the reputation of his/her alt accounts. Now that I think about it, you two have the same non sense topics and the way you structure your posts that are filled with errors.
2732  Economy / Economics / Re: The Bitcoin Price Paradox on: February 06, 2021, 05:20:26 AM
The price when the supply is 0 is D(0). D(0) is not necessarily infinity.
If there is no supply but there is still a demand then it could be lynchpin to a increase in prices, I don't think that it should be infinite but if scarcity is in play, bitcoin market will not be a good indicator for the prices because people will put their own price tag having the knowledge that bitcoin supply is zero.
2733  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigerian Banks To Close Accounts Involved with Crypto on: February 06, 2021, 04:44:34 AM
Nigeria has been pretty aggressive in bitcoin and cryptocurrency as of late, and I cannot understand why. There are tons of traders in Nigeria right now prompting Binance to open up a market to cater the demand, and the government could easily capitalize on this fact by providing ample regulations to sustain the scene and tax the crypto sale proceedings and related profit just like what other countries did. Most countries look up to Nigeria as one of the countries in Africa that is ripe for an economic boost, however if they keep on shutting down opportunities that come knocking into their front door, they'll just keep getting back from square 1 and the number of poverty-stricken citizens would just grow.
The protest is what I am suspecting in the first place. I am surprised because AFAIK there is around 10% or higher cryptocurrency user in the country, putting regulation as the quote above says is the best way to go for anything involving crypto, I believe that this is a political play because you can easily make profit out of the crypto population in your country by putting regulations and taxes, either bankers are involved in this, or a government official that fears that crypto is giving people power or a government official being lobbied by bankers.
2734  Economy / Economics / Re: The billionaires who own bitcoins on: February 06, 2021, 04:07:23 AM
Stefan Thomas, the programmer from Germany who lost the password for his 7002 bitcoin can be added to the list. The worth of the bitcoin and his worth altogether will count 0.22 billion. Maybe his funds weren't able to be used, but I find him to be a self made billionaire who's worth will keeps on popping higher and higher over the years.
He does technically own the bitcoin but considering the he doesn't have access to it then I don't think that it is right to put him on this list, I would agree with the part of him become a self made billionaire but he has to be able to access the money before doing that. What do you mean by the 0.22 billion?
2735  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: #OccupyCBN Nigeria’s Central Bank Orders Banks to Close Accounts of Crypto Users on: February 06, 2021, 03:29:06 AM
I don't know what happens in Nigeria currently but I assume that this is a bad one. And what do you mean by OccupyCBN? My hunch tells me that this is not a good idea but the orders of the Central Bank of Nigeria is a far more sinister than what I think. Did they even took some research as to how many people are using cryptocurrency in their country? With around 10% of their population using cryptocurrency I think the best case for anything relating to banning cryptocurrency is not banning it but instead regulating it.
2736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: the power of HOLD and believe on: February 06, 2021, 02:46:18 AM
Patience and Believe is the key of success.

When the price of btc is stable on 10-12k, i already sold my investment because real life necessity forces me to sell everything.

Untill now i still hate my self because of that.
Don't blame your self, you said it to be a necessity then it is better than starving to death, the only way that I can think of so this kind of things wouldn't happen again is to have another mode of cashflow. I do agree with patience and trust but we also have to be smart about it, remember that being too greedy could the cause of us getting left behind.
2737  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading bot vs. you -> who's better? on: February 05, 2021, 03:10:04 PM
Bots are human-created algorithms so humans are the best...
I have tried to use several trading robots but none of them were profitable, I don't know if the algorithms are less than perfect. at this point in time, I have never found a bot that suits me, so I think trading on my own is much better.
Exactly what I was going to say but performance wise, I think that bots are going to be defeating the humans not to mention that there are advancements in robotics that it came to the point where a bot can be better than human although technically humans made those bots smarter than us but we are at a point where we can create a robot or AI to teach itself. Maybe if you can record your trading patterns for awhile, you can probably use almost any bots remember that most bots are tweaked base on the human patterns.

Whoops, for some reason I thought you were LoyceV or whatever. Then again, your thread title is soliciting for merit sources to browse this self-nomination nonsense.
I don't get it, is there something wrong that I am giving my sMerits away? If other users see this as something bad then I will delete the topic, will you be happy after that? I created this topic so users can have a hub so users can earn some merits and for other users to check out the thread so they can narrow their search for merit worthy post, also I am not trying to impress any users if that is what you are thinking. Do you want one too? If so, then just follow the format.
2739  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2021-01-30 [CNBC] India might ban private cryptocurrencies like bitcoin on: February 05, 2021, 12:56:48 PM
Who will invest in stock markets and bonds, when cryptocurrency is giving anywhere from 300% to 400% returns in just 12 months? Indian cryptocurrency exchanges have claimed that their user base is going up at a rate of around 10% every month. According to the conservative estimates, there are at least 10 million active users in India, who hold cryptocurrency assets worth $10 billion to $30 billion. Obviously the government is getting very uneasy at those numbers.
The reason that they are threatened by it is that they have a big population that if they let bitcoin proliferate in the populace then they will have a harder time to control it. We really can't do anything about it because they have the might to enforce this regulations. Stocks is far safer to be honest, it is backed by governments and the people behind it wouldn't want a blue chip to crash so you investment is safe although it is not a lot.
2740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to my bitcoin if I die today? on: February 05, 2021, 12:10:51 PM
Several more bitcoins will be lost in Blockchain forever locked on your digital wallet and no one can access them ever without your private keys. One way to save your assets is to inherit your wallet and private keys to relatives or someone else.
Not to mention that when your bitcoin gets lost in the void forever, you are contributing to the increase in prices of bitcoin in the market. It sort of a noble purpose but I don't think that it is a worth thing to pursue especially if you plan to have a family, then do what the quote above says, make it part of your inheritance.
