The last call was crucial but I agree with that call. It's just that it was caught. There are also missed opportunities for Ginebra prior to that play.
Congrats Meralco.
That crucial call was very obvious and yet there are still some Ginebra fans crying on the social media saying that Ginebra must won blah blah. They are fans indeed but they are just fans and they don't know anything about basketball (typical bandwagons). I had watched the whole game and it's pretty much Meralco all the way until the 4th quarter where the Ginebra started to erupt but wasn't enough to get the victory. Now after 6 straight playoffs series losses, the Meralco will advance to the Semis and will face another SMC team again which is San Miguel. TBH, tonight's game was full of action. The first game was a hard-fought match as well and it also went to overtime and the 2nd match is a good match too. Good Luck to the remaining 4 teams  . That was clearly an offensive foul, I can understand how tired Thompson is already, IIRC, he was playing like 44 minutes, that's not the way to win a game. This all Filipino cup team has a big problem, they cannot defend so much on Thompson as he is an all-around player, he will be easily gets tired. |

Yes! I appreciate your reply- will definitely check out Binance. Pero dito, need ba mag pass ng KYC documents like kung ano din yung mga hiningi ni coins.ph para makapag convert from BTCs to cash (GCASH)?
Basic documents lang naman kailangan, parang level 1 verification lang, IIRC, sa Binance, ID ko lang sinubmit ko tapos ayun verifiied na. Sa Gcash naman, kailangan lang din verified ang GCASH mo para mag match sa name ng account mo sa Binance. Tapos tingin ka nalang ng tutorial sa youtube, madali lang naman. Actually almost the same verification lang and binance at coins.ph sa KYC process kaso mas strict nga lang si coins.ph compared to binance. Yung sakin kasi sa coins.ph, it almost took an hour or two para maverified yung account ko at may mga kakilala ako na inabot ng ilang araw at yung iba hindi pa naverified unlike sa binance na halos instant at minsan naabot ng 1hour. About naman sa Gcash sa Binance, no need na verified at under sayo since pwede mo naman ilagay yung account ng kakilala mo para sa P2P transactions. Yung sakin, nakalagay yung gcash at bank ko at kakilala ko para maraming options. I think the process is different because Biannce is not regulated by BSP. May rumors nga na i ban daw ang Binance Ph pero hindi naman nangyari dahil sa article below, wala naman daw clear regulation ang BSP dito. The Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said it cannot ban Binance for cryptocurrency-related sales and promotion as there are no clear regulations issued by the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the nation’s central bank. source |

On other game, I was surprised and stunned by NLEX performance last game. Even there are rumors that Magnolia just give way for another ticket sales the next game lol we see that NLEX really did their best. I just don't know if the same playing level will be shown by them in their do-or-die game.
If the rumors are true, then that's what we called game fixing, it should be investigated. Well, if they really try to fix the game to prolong it, then it's not possible that they will again fix the game this time. The spread is high, I like that, and I believe that Magnolia is really the better team, they will win this game and will cover the spread. Good luck! |

That one may best describe what is happening. Keep Curry happy and we might make another championship. But this will mean a lot of money coming out of their pockets and it also means tons of luxury tax waiting for them. I may be impressed with the patience of Draymond to let the play work out before passing the ball, but in terms of the Warriors being cornered, he cannot do anything when the ball is still in his hand. Let's see what Wiseman will bring when he comes back to the NBA floor, maybe that will change the perspective of their management after a year or a couple. That could be the reason why Green is looking for a longer contract, a threat is coming.  If they will not grant Green's request to get a max salary and that will create a conflict between Curry and the organization, I think that's not good. Although Draymond is not a superstar but the Warriors are playing like a team, the big 3 is very significant for their success, so it's best to keep that intact than adding players which might not help if Draymond would not pay well because he was disappointed. |

Akala ko po ay okay na, pero today. I received a notice of account closure.
Gusto kong magmura, kung hindi ko siguro ginawa iyong enhance verification eh malilimit lang ung account ko.
Ngayon ay sarado na daw. Non-appealable, sabi din, to protect the integrity of their procedures, they will not be able to provide a thorough explanation of the reason my account is closed. They just said to refer to their ToS.
This sucks.. a lot.
I'm really sorry to hear this news, talagang masakit na matanggap tong balita na to. Kasi for sure matagal na yang account mo at ang masama eh hindi nila sasabihin ang rason bat nila ni close, sana man lang para ma appeal mo. Ni hindi mo alam talaga, blockchain analysis ba at para masabi na galing sa gambling sites? Or anong violation ba talaga sa ToS nila? Pero sabi ko nga dati, wag ka na malungkot, Binance P2P ang sagot mo, pwede Gcash at Bank Transfer. (Although maingat ako sa coins.ph account ko ngayon). Itong Binance p2p na ang tatapos sa maliligayang araw ng coins.ph hehe at ang mabuting balita ay mayroon pang exchange na nag-offer din ng p2p, yong Bybit though hindi ko pa nasubukan pero parang parehas lang ata ng mechanics/procedure with Binance. Tagal ko nang hindi nagalaw yong coins account ko na para bang pwede na ako sa crypto world na wala ang coins.ph. Magandang balita yan kabayan, meron rin palang bybit? Paano ito, pwede rin ba ang cash out dito sa GCASH? Maganda sana kung merong GCASH kasi yan lang naman ang pinakamadaling paraan at pinakamaganda syempre. Naku, kung mahigpit masyado ang coins.ph, baka balang araw malugi ito, hehe, tama siguro decisyon ng first owner na benenta nila. |

People who becomes more addictive needs to be given proper care. Gamblers used to turn addictive, but very rare incidents take place for the purpose of money to gamble ending into conviction. Same as de-addiction centre for alcohol, separate centre for gambling needs to be opened. This will help gamblers realise themselves and get cure.
That is correct - government get tax on the money - so why would government ban gambling? Also the gambling is a huge benefit to the players and the authorities - this is really not possible to ban. Although it is banned in many Islamic states. But even than people find way to play and get benefited. Because the government benefits from gambling, they don't ban gambling. But for those in Islamic countries, their government forbids gambling and will arrest people involved in gambling. But unfortunately, people there still play gambling by hiding somewhere and with easy internet access, they can play gambling wherever they want. This is what makes many people addicted so they cannot control themselves and lose a lot of money. This is true and gamblers are really lucky to still engage in gambling activities if they know how to get access to VPN but for others that doesn't even know how computer and internets works, they have no choice but to stop their vices but some have found some other means like reaching out to their gambling friends to take some bet for them. It's just that Islamic countries are banning these kind of activities because it is prohibited in their religion and it opposes their beliefs, and I think alcohol is prohibited too. |

I'll just go with the higher reward  and it isn't bad as a bet since Campa has a good record even though someone is saying he only fights B-grade boxers but an upset win is real . I think this odds will readjust so better put a bet while it is up. Same here, high reward that could go up to 10+ boosting your odds, I think Campa could pull an upset. Lopez coming from a loss, maybe that would still affect him in this fight and he might struggle again. Watching his fight highlights ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYpUKfIY0hA), this guy could really box and he is very aggressive. That's really enticing. If you can spare a decent amount of your money to Campa and things went in your favor, that's really a big win. Though Lopez is on his mission to come back and be noticed again from this sport, we can say that bookies really seeing that the possible outcome will be favoring Lopez. We don't know what will happen after. The chance is still equal to boxing, always accompanied by upset and surprise results. It's your own take, risky gamblers will love this one, a big time profit when underdog upset the heavy favorite. I cannot really take away the fact the Lopez's side has some motive on why they choose Campa on this fight, yes this will be a tune up for Lopez to get his performance in track again but surely they don't want to see their boxer in the losing side if things doesn't move the way they planned it and I assume that this will be a win-win situation for Lopez's because adding another loss in their boxer's record will definitely harm his career. Of course, losing to lopez would not be a good thing, that's why I believe he will win this fight, it may not be an easy fight for him, but he will win You mean, Lopez losing to Pedro Campa? Yes, that will indeed damage Lopez's career more and he really needed to win this fight to redeem his name and to make a noise in the new division he got into. Frankly there is a reason why Lopez and his camp decides to climb the next division, and I'm quite interested to see what's the reason for it. |

Interesting disclosure about Zion Williamson’s contract with the Pelicans. He’s financially incentivized to keep his weight down or else the amount of guaranteed money in his contract is reduced. I’m order to get the full amount, Zion needs to keep his weight + his body fat % below 295. I imagine that means he needs to stay under 280lbs. While that may seem easy, there were speculations that his weight had ballooned to over 325 while he was injured last year.
That's good for him though because now he will be more determined to get ripped and stay below 295 because he can the most of his contract. The Pelicans have done well regarding Zion Williamson's situation, they surely know that the kid can achieve greatness at the peak of his capabilities if he can stay fit, and being overweight will just get him prone to injuries. |

May punto nga naman si NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, dapat din suklian ng players ang ginawa ng team para sa kanila at respeto na mag stay kahit makalahati man lang sa pinermahang contrata. Sa kaso ni Durant, 2025-2026 pa sya matatapos sa 4-year $198 Million contract extension na pinermahan nya last year at nag request na ng trade na di man lang nangalahati sa kanyang contract.
Pero baka makalipat na si Durant sa ibang team bago maipasa itong new rule na ito, di pa naman opisyal pero parang yan na ang mangyayari bago pa magsimula ang 2022-2023 season.
Kung merong kakagat ng offer ng Nets baka nga makalipat muna si Durant bago maipasa yung rules na yan pero sa bigat ng hinihingi ng Nets malamang magiisip ng matindi at malalim na aaralin kung sinoman ang nagtatangkang kunin ang serbisyo ni Durant, sa tingin ko yung offer ng Nets eh talagang malaking pabor para sa kanila. Gusto din kasi nila na makabawi at kung sakaling ung maittrade eh mag dedemand din ng trade ulit, siguradong may magandang value din ang ipapalit. Yun nga rin eh kaya tingin ko mananatili parin si Durant sa Nets dahil masyadong mabigat ang hinihinging kapalit ng Nets para kay Durant, walang choice si Durant hinggil sa sitwasyon nya dahil naniniguro lang din ang Nets na makakuha ng worth it players dahil sa laki pa naman ng gastos nila para lang mabigyan ng contract extension si Durant. Isang taon at season palang ang nakakalipas mula nung nakapirma si Durant at ngayon nag re-request na ng trade, matindi rin! hehehe. Pag yan ang mangyayari ay talagang aabutan si Durant sa bagong rules at baka magtagal pa sya. |

I think Connor wins too, but he's rusty and has been out of action for a while, so I don't think they'd be too far apart skillwise, other than Connor has a lot of fights both pro and amateur under his belt. Jakes trumps him on age as well and will have that underdog spirit and hunger. Connor did pretty well against Mayweather I thought and has knock out power as does Jake so it wouldn't be a big mismatch. I actually think it could be pretty close. I'd love to see it. I've never got why so many people jumped on Conor for that Mayweather fight. I'm also one of the few it seems that thought he did well. I mean he gassed out in typical Conor fashion, but he was going toe to toe with Mayweather, who is regarded as one of the best boxers, and for a few the best boxer. I can't say I agree he's the best ever, but he's definitely one of the best. So, for Conor to move to a sport he doesn't train in, and doesn't do, and put on that sort of performance I thought was good. He gassed for sure, and quite frankly I thought the stoppage was very early. Conor fights better when he gets hurt, as do so many other fighters. He was just incredibly tired, you could see it. It was already clear that Mayweather will have the favor and advantage even before the fight started, but looking at the fight, McGregor's performance was really good than what I expected considering that boxing is not his forte and his muscle memories are trained to attack in a way that is prohibited in boxing just like what we saw on McGregor where he was frequently told by the referee not to do his thing because it's not allowed in a boxing match. I think it will be an interesting fight if the match were mixed, 3 rounds of boxing and 3 rounds of MMA 3 rounds of boxing and 3 rounds of pure MMA? Wow, that will be great to see if that kind of fight will happen but I think it will be impossible to wish for that because we know that the said sports are so different and MMA fighters will be at the advantage side unlike the boxer who only trained all his life using the fist. Also, I don't think that Mayweather would be that dumb to accept that kind of fight where he would be embarrased. You're right, I'm also wishing that it could be possible though but it's literally impossible especially in this fight because Mayweather will surely reject the idea if that is the case. But yes, maybe in future fights this kind of idea will be possible where we can see a fight that is consisted of mixed boxing and MMA rules. Honestly, I'm a bit interested to this rematch because McGregor surely had some improvements and changes after their first encounter and this time he knows how and when to conserve his energy to last longer rounds. |

That is why banning gambling activities will be just a nonsense act of the government because they cannot really stop the people from gambling because we are now in the time where technologies are so modern that even the government itself is still struggling to keep up and things will get expensive if they will exhaust some funds just to track citizens who are still gambling online or in-house casinos.
They are just wasting funds that could have some better use, they better think of regulations and not banning because the revenue that is generated by the casinos can be truly helpful to the country.
That is what governments do not seem to understand, it is true that the advancements we have seen lately when it comes to our technology allows the governments to track way more effectively their citizens, but at the same time it allows their citizens to resits those surveillance efforts if they want. Banning gambling is a terrible idea because if they do so then people will keep gambling anyway, they will have to spend a fortune trying to enforce such law and eventually they will have to make gambling legal again anyway, so why waste their time in something that will be completely useless? Yes they can now track effectively to find these people who are still gambling despite of the ban implemented to that specific country, but that technology they have is quite costly and putting people for the job is also expensive for the reason of finding people that are engaged in gambling. They should've just implement regulations and not banning it, the resources will be wasted for that reason because the people these days knows how to make themselves off the grid while gambling and anyone can use VPN easily as the tutorial can also be found in the internet. |

The Golden State Warriors have shown some interest in picking up Carmelo Anthony for next season. I’m not sure how well he would fit in, but I’m sure he could do some damage off the bench. I’m thinking it would probably be his last chance to win a championship, so it wouldn’t be a bad option for him. I’d wait to see if Kyrie gets traded to the Lakers and see if I could run that back before anything else though.
Pretty surprised to see he’s actually had a pretty decent shooting percentage the last couple of years. I honestly don’t know how his defense is these days (guessing not great) but he’d be a nice piece coming off the bench to score a few points for them. I wonder if iguodala will be back with the team next year, or perhaps Carmelo takes up that old x star player role off the bench instead. I was under the impression that Iguodala was going to retire. He seemed in pretty bad shape at the end of last season. Another interesting development is that Dwight Howard is in talks to join the Nets. I personally think that Dwight, Kyrie, KD, & Ben Simmons would be a nightmare for opposing teams, but we’ll see what sort of roster the Nets have once the season actually begins. Same here, I thought he was on the verge of retiring because I haven't saw him that often last season, I just knew recently that he suffered back soreness that's why he missed plenty games for months. Maybe he'll retire on his 20th season playing and that will be 2 years from now where he will be 40 years old by that time. Dwight Howard will be surely get more exposure in the Nets because they are really lacking some big man, but it's likely that he will be included in the trade package to get Irving in exchange of Howard and Westbrook. |

Kawawa talaga ang Nets dito, I mean sinugal nila lahat nung kunin nila is Durant at pagtapos ni Irving, then si Harden. At ngayon walang nangyari na, gusto na rin umalis ng 2 at hindi man lang nabuhat ang Nets sa finals. So rebuild na naman sila pagtapos nilang magpakawala ng malaking pera. Kaya hind rin sila papayag na basta pakawalan si Durant eh. Pero wala naman silang magagawa kung gustong lumipat na at tiyak baka mag suffer ang performance nya. Parang Lakers din yan, kumuha ng mga players na ang taas ang expectations pero walang nangyari.
Napaka laking gamble ang ginawa ng Nets pero lugi pa rin sila, hehe.. Sana mag stay nalang sina Durant at Irving, napaka walang utang na loob naman ni Durant, matapos siyang sahuran ng buong season kahit injured at di nakapaglaro tapos mag dedemand ng trade.  Kaya nga ang sabi ko dati eh yung panalo ng Warriors ngayon daming binago sa susunod na season hehehe. Nakita ni Durant at na nanalo na naman ang Warriors ng championship kaya lang wala na sya kaya kailangan nyang makalipat sa contender na team next season. At nagsalita na rin si NBA commissioner sa kaso ni Durant, baka magkaroon ng rule changes dyan at para mabigyan ng proteksyon naman ang team na kumukuha ng players na willing nagbayad ng malaki pero at least sana mag stay naman. Tingnan natin ang player options rule baka baguhin. May punto nga naman si NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, dapat din suklian ng players ang ginawa ng team para sa kanila at respeto na mag stay kahit makalahati man lang sa pinermahang contrata. Sa kaso ni Durant, 2025-2026 pa sya matatapos sa 4-year $198 Million contract extension na pinermahan nya last year at nag request na ng trade na di man lang nangalahati sa kanyang contract.

Gambling can never be banned - it is the life support for the people and sometime it is very helpful for the economy for bringing in the revenue.
There is no question about the gambling industry helping to bring revenue to a country. But do not generalize that it's the "life support" of everyone. However even in the countries where gambling is banned - now they have found the ways to gamble and there is no stopping. People would not let the gambling banned.
Because there is online gambling and there are many ways to avoid that restriction that they do even online. Users can bypass that restriction by using VPN and as long as the online casino, crypto or fiat allows that per user then they can easily gamble back and forth, at any time that they wish to do. That is why banning gambling activities will be just a nonsense act of the government because they cannot really stop the people from gambling because we are now in the time where technologies are so modern that even the government itself is still struggling to keep up and things will get expensive if they will exhaust some funds just to track citizens who are still gambling online or in-house casinos.

I get the whole celtics thing because that would mean that Tatum and Durant together would be a lot of profit and that makes sense, thats a team that could beat anyone in the finals, they almost did it without Durant this year, and if they add Durant to that it would be amazing. Of course, we still need to wait and see the package first.
Celtics could get Durant but they need to sacrifice plenty of players if the team wants to have Durant and Tatum to lead the team. And don't compare that roster of the Celtics that they won even without Durant because getting Durant would mean letting go of some players as it cannot be a player in exchange for a player knowing how valuable Durant is. |

Napaka strikto na pala ng coins.ph. Kaya ako, kahit okay pa ang account ko pero hindi ako kampante lage dahil malay natin magaya rin account ko sayo @jamyr .. Sorry bro, hanap ka nalang ng ibang platform, meron pa namang Binance p2p, or yung ibang local exchange nalang kahit di gaano kasikat gaya ng coins.ph.
Sobrang strict po talaga ng coins.ph lalo na kapag may mga nadectect silang suspicious activity sa account mo. Kahit yung pagkakaroon lang ng malaking funds sa account mo at pagwiwithdraw, maari ka nilang sendan ng verification update para dito. Yung kakilala ko, na-hold yung account nya dahil may malaking laman at need ng verification para magamit o malabas yung funds nya. Anyways, yung kakilala kong na-banned din sa coins.ph ay may nagawa against sa ToS ng coins.ph kaya hindi nya narecover yung account nya at pinagawa sya ng letter para malabas yung pera nya. Ang hirap pag na close ang account tapos malayo ka naman sa office nila. Sana hindi mangyari sa akin, naka pag update naman ako ng enhance verification at ang mga transactions ko normal lang naman ang range, yung pasok lang sa mga 100k more or less per month, ang concern ko lang kasi minsan galing sa gambling sites, pero di naman direct send to coins.ph account, ang origin lang gambling. |

Tips sa mga mag eenhance verification:
Less docu, less hassle. Try to be reactive instead of proactively supplying documents which can lead to you getting the same warning.
If unsure what document is needed, use the "Help" tab. Chat with a representative, and he/she should give you alternatives, and maybe extend
the time for you to complete the verification.
Kung hindi ko po siguro ipinaglaban ang dati kong privileges, eh nabawasan sana ang limit ko. Buti na lang at nadaan sa rason. Good luck kabayans!
Akala ko po ay okay na, pero today. I received a notice of account closure. Gusto kong magmura, kung hindi ko siguro ginawa iyong enhance verification eh malilimit lang ung account ko. Ngayon ay sarado na daw. Non-appealable, sabi din, to protect the integrity of their procedures, they will not be able to provide a thorough explanation of the reason my account is closed. They just said to refer to their ToS. This sucks.. a lot. I'm really sorry to hear that kabayan. Probably isa sa mga rason kung bakit ang iyong account ay na-ban ay dahil sa siguro sa pag-send mo ng transcript from bounty campaign sa gambling platform. Unfortunately, mahigpit sila when it comes to ToS especially gambling and scams. By the way, paano ang mangyayare sa funds sa iyong account sa coins.ph? Mayroon kasi akong kaibigan na ban rin ang coins.ph account at pinapasa sya ng letter na hindi na sya allowed sa coins.ph at need nya pumunta sa office for withdrawal. Napaka strikto na pala ng coins.ph. Kaya ako, kahit okay pa ang account ko pero hindi ako kampante lage dahil malay natin magaya rin account ko sayo @jamyr .. Sorry bro, hanap ka nalang ng ibang platform, meron pa namang Binance p2p, or yung ibang local exchange nalang kahit di gaano kasikat gaya ng coins.ph. |
