If this fight will be cancelled then for sure there is only one reason and that is they did not meet the attraction they want and lures no support from the boxing community.

This fight will gain attraction, the reason was very clear, Donaire cools off the fight because he believes he and his family got disrespected.

Now, there's a lot of challenge on Donaire, even Rigo challenge him, and said no trash talk, just pure fight.
Both Rigo and Inoue beat him, I think he will not win in a rematch, he just wants more money here.

Man, what a terrific way to close out the series with a big blow out. CP3 playing as usual the Point God. First finals appearance for most of the Phoenix Suns players, and they're the only team who hasn't suffered major injuries. So, there's a huge chance for them to win it all this post season.
CP3 did really took over in the game, he doesn't want to bring the series into game 7.
I don't see the explosiveness of Paul George in this game, he wasn't as aggressive as he was in the last game, so we can really tell that the Suns are more hungry to win than the Clippers.

I remember just before the playoffs began, a specific betting website offered $1,000 win for a $100 bet If the Suns win the championship this playoffs. I forget what website was that.
I'm wondering how many people have actually put a bet on that offer lol.

I guess this is true, but that was before the playoffs. Now the odds of the suns to win the NBA Finals is only $100 to win less than $100.
2743  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 30, 2021, 01:39:12 PM

Sean Gibbons, Manny Pacquiao's handler said that the fight will continue as plan. He even told in an interview that Pacquiao will be in the US by July to train with fame Freddy Roach for the Spence fight.

But we all know boxing politics, every one has a price, so if they indeed settle this lawsuit out of the court then the fight can proceed by August. Pacquiao wanted to pursue this fight, so we can't really say that it's time for him to hang up his gloves and retire for good and let the young bloods take over the boxing scene. If Floyd can still relevant with exhibition matches, then Manny can do it with real fights.

That lawsuit will not actually stop the fight, it has nothing to do with the fight so the fight will continue while Manny still has to face the lawsuit, however, it's not necessary that he will face it now, he will have to focus on his fight then he will face the lawsuit.

Regardless of the result of the Spence vs Manny fight, he will still make money and there's no doubt he can pay the damages demanded by the suing party.

They need to comes up with everything that they've got. it's an opportunities to help as the team needed it so badly, without your main man the team needs to work together and try all the best that they can give to stay in this series.

And it's true, that mental contribution even he (Trae) is not playing but by him beside the bench and help the coach to create strategy that's already  counts, trusting all your buddies to play and cheer them up not to give up and continue their run.


looks like the Atlanta Hawks have revised their strategy and it works well since they beat the Bucks with huge points to send a thrilling game 5 to the Milwaukee Bucks home court again. This is kind of the game we are talking about and it is happening right now where both teams won't just give up the series until they give everythi9ng they've got and looks like the Western Conference Finals will be the same in their next match.  

Bucks did not see it coming, they thought it would be easy for them because Trae Young did not play, but they are wrong, the Hawks are much better in this game as the shooters are scoring and even their rookie are contributing pretty well. The 3 point shooting was a major weapon of the Hawks in this game, they look so unmatch in papers but they are actually hard to beat in real game.

Im proud of India and its people, although at the beginning of the handling of covid there was chaos, but now it is better.  Compared to my country, which is still trying to vaccinate, the people prefer herd stupidity over herd immunity.  They even think that covid is just a conspiracy and does not exist and is not dangerous.  In fact the case of death is very real.

Even in India, there is a lot of propaganda going on against vaccination. I can show you my WhatsApp account, and it is full of spam audio messages which claim that vaccinated people are likely to die soon and they will become impotent. Unfortunately, a lot of people (mostly the illiterate ones) believe that these rumors are true and they refuse to get themselves vaccinated. And forget about India and the other third world nations. Even in developed nations such as the United States you will find large number of people who believe in such rumors.

You can't blame them, the virus is deadly but the vaccine is more deadly if it's not really proven it will prevent someone from getting infected with the virus. Some maybe can tolerate the virus, so they would prefer not to get vaccinated, but if the government will make it a law that everyone should get their vaccine, then there's no excuse for people not to get vaccinated.
2746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 29, 2021, 01:39:05 PM

Donaire has become a coward due to trash-talking of Casimero, but it was them who criticize Casimero's English, but if this fight will not happen, then bad for Donaire as Inoue is a tough fighter to crack, he knows that for sure.

That's the issue now, and it looks like the fans are in favor of Casimero because a simple trash talk would make him demand in this fight as if he is making an excuse to delay it until it will not happen anymore. It's hard to tell what would happen but the way I see it, this mega-fight might not happen.

Maybe we will see first a Donaire vs Inoue rematch, then Inoue vs Casimero.
2747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 28, 2021, 09:04:51 PM

P.S. I agree to what people say - it is early for a rematch against Lopez. And Lopez probably must fight agaist obligatory contender first. 
All the boxing fans wants to see that rematch and it will be a huge one without a doubt.


We all want to see a great fight, and this rematch would be great for boxing.

It's too early anyway as we are just like disrespecting the opponent of Lopez in his fight, let him finish that business first and then we will talk about the rematch. I believe Lomachenko now is fully healthy, so no more excuses for him if he will lose again in this rematch, but a big excuse if Lopez would not allow him to rematch.
2748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 28, 2021, 08:51:46 PM

There's an ongoing issue about the fight regarding Casimero avoided a drug-testing procedure of VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency). Just for anyone's information, complying with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) is a must as it ensures that both fighters are not using any anti-doping practices and programs in boxing and mixed martial arts.

I don't how it became a big issue since for transparency, both fighters can just comply with that so no issues will be raised. Casimero's camp are surely aware of that.

Following the progress with that issue.

It's a requirement, Casimero's camp has to submit on it, otherwise, their reputation will be tarnish. I'm hearing this drug testing again, how is it different from before when Manny was asked to underdog a drug testing during his fight with Mayweather?
2749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 25, 2021, 09:24:17 PM
~snip~
But we can't stop people from removing it and if they're allowed, they'll for sure remove it as what the state says. But as an individual of taking yourself, you know what to do.
^ Because people are depending on the government policies towards covid 19 protocol, if the authorities did not strict about wearing a mask, for sure a lot of people removing it. We can't blame if some people are hard-headed upon wearing a mask because in my country the reason they wore masks is just that they are afraid of the authorities that strictly implemented safety protocol. How much more if those people are fully vaccinated, they are free what they want to do because thinking that they are shielded from the virus is the wrong perspective, and gathering place like the casino is very prone for the virus to spread since it is a cold place which is the virus is actively moving.
People do rely on the government, they want the government to provide them during the situation, and it will not help the government since they have limited funds only, that's something that we don't realize. There's a restriction for a reason, and we have to follow it not only to help ourselves but all people that may suffer the disease because of our negligence. The government campaign now is very simple, make everyone vaccinated so the economy will recover as it will make everything back to normal.
2750  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID advanced the world into the future on: June 25, 2021, 08:39:28 PM
One of the best things COVID forced society to do is incorporate modern technology, in my opinion. I'm pleased that the majority of us are now adopting technology and applying it to ourselves since it makes things so much easier. For example, when it comes to payment systems via digital payment platforms, I've noticed that most of us, including the government, are now using mobile applications to assist our citizens.

Another thing I've noticed is that social media platforms are now being used to start businesses and earn enough money to make a decent living. Last but not least, people are becoming more interested in cryptocurrencies as they discover that they may make money by investing in it. Many users are now aware of bitcoin's enormous potential and can be used in different applications such as payment method.

Thank God COVID-19 is not a person, or it could be running for the President of the World, and could win - so many people are grateful to it. Smiley

But, if seriously, COVID indeed advanced the world into the future, same way as other terrible events from the past did. We shouldn't praise COVID for that, though. Rather we should praise humanity for the ability of turning such horrible things into its advantage.
Lol, Covid is a catalyst but not everything. Covid is not an entity that needs to be cheered but as it has added a big niche for the world to realize what is the future, what is a recession, what needs to be eliminated, they can print money to fight it. facts about bitcoin or crypto. But it has been an inexcusable fact of contemporary economic wretchedness under the pressure of paper money.

We will certainly feel the effect of the government's printing money, this centralized world will become worst in the future as taxes will skyrocket due to big loans and hyperinflation. This covid-19 is just a test in the water, the government was successful in their plans, so it would be easy for them to manipulate us, what do we expect, we are in a centralized world, so we have to deal with it.
2751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: June 25, 2021, 08:25:45 PM
Yes, you shouldn't be surprised when they ask but most of them too are not really pushing that as long as the user is clean. And those users that have been asked for it.

Gambling sites just asked for additional KYC for big withdrawals or alarming winnings. In that case, users just have to be true to themselves.

KYC is just for the account's unique profile so that in case of attempted big withdrawals, it can't be allowed easily if the account was hacked and the only one who can withdraw that is the original user.

Another one if the account has an unusual activity. That is subject to account fraud and KYC might be imposed on that account.

It's the site that will determine that, and we just have to comply with the requirements. I guess we should be ready whenever there's a KYC requirement as it would really happen anytime to see especially if we got big winnings and if it already triggers their mandatory KYC rules for such. I know we want to maintain the anonymity regardless of the amount we are gambling, or transacting, but things have change, as the crypto space becomes more regulated, this policy is becoming a basic requirement.
2752  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will China's crackdown on Bitcoin cause Bitcoin to become worthless? on: June 25, 2021, 01:34:49 PM
It may be like that initially, people are only worrying and assume that China's policy is the main influence. However Bitcoin is a form of economic revolution desired by many people, China must really make something new more innovative and can change the attraction.

China can only ban but it can't stop. In the end Bitcoin enthusiasts will get used to it without China's role.

Exactly, people tend not to realized that the crypto does not evolve in China, yes, they have the biggest miners but crypto will continue to exist without them, and it's easy for the big miners to relocate and look for a location to continue their operation. The problem is, we are spreading FUD so people got panic.
2753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does implementing a tax on a gambling platform really help a country? on: June 25, 2021, 11:52:37 AM
If they are not helping the economy of a country where they are operating, then it's no use giving them license and permission, gambling casinos taxes are a big help to any country's economy they pay big taxes and they employ a lot of people, although they have bad effects for people the huge revenues from the taxes are big advantages for any country, they have to ignore the disadvantages.

The government would not allow them to operate or give them a license if they believe there is a bad effect on the people. Using it as a general statement is wrong, because the reality is, it has only bad effects on irresponsible people.
2754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will BNB become the king of all coins on: June 25, 2021, 11:30:09 AM
In my opinion, BNB has a possibility to become the king of all coins but it is extremely low because  Bitcoin is the base of cryptocurrency so if the market pumps so the BTC is. The market have the big change of price when it comes to bitcoin. BNB is still too young to get the throne BtC i guess just because it pumps a lot in the trends in the market.
Yes, it still takes a long time and development to be able to make BNB the king, maybe the first step is to become the king of altcoins shifting ETH's position, if bnb wants to shift the position of btc it's still too heavy because the market focus will always belong to btc, but all possibilities can what happens to the crypto market, we'll see what surprises Bnb will show us.
That's more possible than becoming the number 1 and dethroning Bitcoin. There will be more altcoins to come, but I believe it will never pose a threat on bitcoin, instead, it will make the market bigger and successful while bitcoin remains at the top. BNB might struggle, who knows, the real competition is in the altcoins market, not on the bitcoin vs altcoins.
2755  Economy / Economics / Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today on: June 25, 2021, 09:42:02 AM
from the past until now I think it's only a small part, I think more people have sold it and done various other activities in the crypto world instead of holding it, of course it's not just investing or holding back.. there are more and more projects and businesses that are being run that continue to be developed from time to time with bitcoin/crypto.
From 2016, we already experience two bull runs, 1 in 2017, and the other is in 2021 or this year, I'm sure a lot of holders are already tempted to sell because the price has significantly increases. It is a great idea but I would salute those who still hold 100% of their holdings until now as they are the real holder.
2756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 25, 2021, 09:04:07 AM
On today's game, I'm picking Clippers to win ML, @1.98.

Good luck, hopefully they'll get Finally get a W.
This is a must win for them or else they will get swept by this young Suns team.

We know that Kawhi isn't playing because of his injury and CP3 is back but their back up point guard Cameron Payne has an ankle injury and Booker is still silent and now has 9 points. I always like how Beverley is playing in terms of defense. His defense really disrupts the playstyle of this players and we've seen it on Booker. I didn't bet but I will go for Clippers with this too if I put my bet because there is a high chance that they will do whatever they can just to win or else we will need another brooms Cheesy.

Suns are in foul trouble throughout the game, game 3 was really for the Clippers and they made it successfully. Pane was also injured and did not come back in the game, so all the advantage was really on the Clippers. I'm not sure if they can even the series, but hopefully they'll play the same intensity in game 4 and Beverly has to still do his work on Booker.
2757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 24, 2021, 09:40:51 PM

I agree, this is a tough match up for either team, Giannis and Trae are their superstars, they are hard to guard, but in the end, the team that has more intensity and heart will prevail. It could go to Game 7.
We don't know yet if this series will reach game 7.
If bucks lose 2 home-court advantages, then things would change and the hawks could even bring back the curse of the Bucks which they are swept.

In the last minute, I decided to go with the Hawks ML yesterday:


That's sweet, you are like winning a lottery with that one, that kind of odds you'll get when the underdog is pretty much underestimated.





On today's game, I'm picking Clippers to win ML, @1.98.

Good luck, hopefully they'll get Finally get a W.
2758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 24, 2021, 09:23:42 PM
At 32 years old Casimero does not have the most impressive career compared to a hall of famer like Donaire. This will be his opportunity to live up to his own hype. He's been very vocal about wanting to fight Inoue and now is his opportunity to earn that fight. The height and experience advantage of Donaire will be difficult to overcome. I haven't seen odds yet but I assume most people will bet on Donaire.

Maybe there's a point here, Donaire has quite more impressive fights than Casimero and if Casimero would beat Donaire, then that would make Casimero more popular and the camp of Inoue will be forced to give Casimero a fight. I think Casimero already sees this kind of possibility, all he needs to do now is just to trained hard to beat Donaire.

Donaire has become popular again because of one win, in comparison with Casimero, he is building his name and he has been winning fights. If you'll ask me, comparing their achievement in recent fights, Casimero has more achievement, so it's really hard to tell who will win because as a fan, we could be biased and look only the positive side of our favorite fighter.
2759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 24, 2021, 10:18:08 AM
Would you take the Clippers with this odds?

Clippers vs Suns series.



I think it's really attractive, we can gamble on this one with a little amount, 1k to win 7k. damn.

Anyone here who thinks the Clippers could come back again and win?

Personally, Risking extra coin with that odd is okay, Clippers still got the chance seeing ow they managed to keep the close gap and almost snatching a game from Suns home court.

The fact that Kawhai still possible to play, that something that gamblers may risk with. Game 3 is very crucial for Clippers they need to win this one at home.

Extending the series and have that chance to switch the momentum in their favor.

This looks very attractive, yes Kawhi might play in the series but the Clippers need to win game 3, and as per the news, CP3 might come back and that would be another big help for the Suns to increase their chances of winning.
2760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 24, 2021, 10:00:25 AM
Quite unexpected victory of the Atlanta Hawks which won by three points. Honestly, after the exhausting past games I'd not have expected all these points but the game was really spectacular and until the last basket you could not tell who would win.
It'll be a great challenge between the Bucks and the Hawks that will compete again on Saturday.

Trae Young is underrated, it's the battle of the Bucks vs Trae Young, this young man is playing with so much confidence and he is unstoppable. Bucks might have a problem figuring out how to minimize his production because if they will double him, that will open a spot for Trae's teammates which are good 3 point shooters.
