2781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 15, 2021, 12:28:29 PM
I'm gonna take that odds, this fight will not gonna go to the distance, Canelo is motivated to knockout Plant because of the disrespectful manners of Plant during the press conference. Actually, I have never seen Canelo this angry during the press conference in his previous fights, and guess what, he still dominate his opponent so most likely this is an exemption, he would dominate and KO his opponent early, 1-3 rounds is my prediction.

Dude, no one is saying here that Caleb is going to win. But you are taking this too far. If Caleb was someone who gets knocked out in the first 3 rounds, then he wouldn't be fighting Canelo in the first place. What do you really think about this match? When was the last time we had a unification match where someone got knocked out within the first 3 rounds? Show some respect to Caleb, as he earned his fight against Canelo. At least he has remained undefeated so far at the ring (although it is not going to matter much against Canelo).

Haha, show some respect @Finestream, what is your basis that Caleb will be knockout within the first 3 rounds? I think that's unlikely since Caleb has never KO before and he also knows how to protect himself as a champion, however, no one can predict what would happen so let's see.

Well he already said it, Caleb disrespected his mother so Canelo should be extra motivated to knock him out early.

However, it will not be an easy task, and if Canelo's mindset is like that, it might backfire on him as he is looking for a knockout. And Canelo is known to be a slow starter, that's why the under 10.5 might be a good bet for us. He usually gets hot after 4-5 rounds and starts to dismantle his opponents. But probably 1-3 rounds is like "a get to feel your opponent and see how he react" for Canelo.

If Canelo will change his style and become eager to knock out Caleb early, then we might see a different outcome than our expectation in this fight. Caleb's camp understands that their chance to win is low, so they have to do some dirty strategy here to destroy the focus of Canelo so they can take advantage on that, however, we cannot say it will happen as Canelo has been in many battle and he dominate most of them.

Now he has this "Retire" card. I don't even know why the Nets aren't trying to trade him. He is an egoistic player that doesn't want to vaccine for personal reasons. He'd rather lose huge amounts of money and not help his teammates just for the sake of him not being vaccinated. What kind of attitude is that?
 or will they just let Kyrie not play in their home games.
Yes, there's a hint of being selfish on this act that's unpleasing to everyone, the Nets management, the team and especially the fans.
Have he ever considered thinking about young fans that are looking forward to see him play? Those who idolizes him and even bought jerseys with his name and even the expensive shoes named after him. They are waiting and expecting a blast since 3 of the Nets stars will be healthy this season.

I think Irving should go back to Cleveland Cavaliers where he starts. He is good but he can never win a championship without the help of a player that has the same status as his, now, the Cleveland Cavaliers are struggling, maybe if he gets traded to this team, he can dictate what he like but he needs to prove that he is a good leader by bringing the team to the playoffs.

That would not happen as no team would accept him if he remains to have that kind of attitude, he will end up with the Nets and if he will not cooperate, he would just sit in the entire season.

I think  Durant and Harden are enough for the Nets to win a championship. Last season during the regular season, Durant and Harden already had chemistry, so if both will remain healthy in the regular season and postseason, I would still trust them to win against the defending champion.

Less than a week to the Regular Season, I really can't wait the at least I can have something really worthwhile during weeks like this in football (International Break).

I'll be making my first bets since the Pre-Season started, It's going to be on the Dallas Mavericks and Pacers, I'm having both teams to win their respective games at halftime for @ 2.28 Odds.

I don't think that taking the halftime odds make any sense.

You can't really predict results of that in any meaningful way - it's pretty much rolling a dice on 2x odds but with really bad house edge.

But I completely agree with the excitement around the start of the regular season. It's going to be very fun, especially with all the Lakers legends now on the same team.

Everything that you'll see on the gambling sites makes sense, that odds offered have a corresponding price, and if you guess it right, you will be the winner.  Besides, even if you take the odds like 1.05, there's still no guarantee that you will win, so just take the risk based on what you believe.
2784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: October 13, 2021, 11:06:04 AM


If AJ gains weight for power, the fight will end with UD but with even more points advantage by Usyk. Maybe doing opposite will be the key. Maybe loosing weight and have it identical to Usyk will do the trick. Speed vs Speed.

In boxing, you cannot beat what you cannot hit that's what happens to Joshua he has power he always has but unfortunately, he can not hit the target because Usyk is good at bobbing and weaving and good in counter punching he has to cut weight but be dominant just like he did to Ruiz, even Ruiz was surprised that he did not impose himself on Usyk.

Let's just say that's game 1, we still have game 2 and if AJ would do the same on what he did to Ruiz in a rematch, then most likely he would be able to redeem himself. AJ would try to win this as this rematch is his ticket to a big fight against Fury and both fighters really have the charisma to attract a huge number of fans.

How about Ben Simmons drama?

Quote
After staying away for two weeks to start the preseason, 76ers All-Star guard Ben Simmons reported to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Monday night -- much to the surprise of an organization that had expected him later in the week, sources told ESPN.

https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/ben-simmons-reports-philadelphia-76ers-sources/story?id=80529998

So it's kinda awkward for Philly to suddenly see Ben Simmons reported for practice. But still a lot of concern whether he will really sit it out for the rest of the season.

This is a good sign that at least he shows some respect to the team, of course, nothing will change the 76ers will still trade him and they are just waiting for the best offers or will evaluate the previous offers before they will decide. So much drama for Simmons's trade, hopefully, it will be over soon so no excuses for the 76ers in case they'll mess up again this season.

I think Dogecoin is just for a joke, and basically just that. But if Elon Musk sees it as a project that can make him add to the coffers of wealth, it could be that Dogecoin will still strengthen.
Elon Musk is done with Dogecoin, look at the price movement of this coin, it barely moves anymore because he is not hyping it. There's no reason for him to hype Doge cause investors already know they got FOMO and now they are just holding a bag of Doge which in the long run it will just likely burst.

This is a one month performance.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/


As you can see, it only moved at 0.20 (+-) compared ot the past movement were we can see some significant growth.

Last season was a big success for them but a disappointment in the NBA Finals, so I believe what we see in their games this preseason is a statement on how serious they are this new season.

Indeed, they will try to go back to the NBA Finals again as they fell short last season.

Judging on the NBA Futures, I think they have a chance to compete as they are next to Bucks on the favorites to win with +1500 betting odds.

Ranking according to betting odds.

1 - Brooklyn Nets
2 - Los Angeles Lakers
3- Golden State Warriors
4 - Milwaukee Bucks
5 - Phoenix Suns

This is very likely to happen in the future, if the bitcoin price goes up to these fancy numbers then most of the altcoins will surely follow suit as always, yes i have thought about this before and decided to buy small amounts of several well rank altcoins in the market It can rise to fantastic numbers one day and I will leave it to the distant future and be like a fortune that I pass on to my children when they grow up.
I don't think this is possible, first, cryptocurrency is just an alternative to fiat and no government would sacrifice their own currency just to invest in crypto. For me, it's not gonna happen, not even 50% of the world's population will use cryptocurrency in the future.
2792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to see Bitcoin legal in your country? on: October 11, 2021, 11:43:30 AM
Of course, I want to see Bitcoin legal in my country. There are huge financial problems & unemployment in my country and Bitcoin will work as relief for these problems. It will provide an opportunity for young and old to do something to improve their economy. And with hard work, study and after getting experience they will able to do much better to run their home economy.
Once bitcoin will become legal in your country, a lot of opportunities will come for the people to help, of course, it could help to reduce unemployment as it will create more job opportunities. Look at El Salvador, they are very supportive of the business in their country and they like them to accept bitcoin, and if that will happen, adoption will increase and the economy will grow.

The positive effect may not be abrupt, but slowly it will grow as adoption increases.
2793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most Bullish Altcoin of the moment on: October 11, 2021, 11:20:12 AM
Try buying Aurora coin, I think if you want to get profit in the short term, Aurora can be used as an alternative. Because now the price of the coin is below the market price. So it is safer if there is a follow-up price down. Aaya also recommends buying and keeping it at a later date. The prospects are very promising.
What's the chance that this coin will be listed in a big exchange? As I see it in https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/auroracoin/, the trading volume is only $1,126 which I think the current price is not stable or can easily be manipulated due to the low volume.
2794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The HODL to 100K movement on: October 11, 2021, 07:53:31 AM
Only those who have the courage and determination can attain that price level when it happens, this won't happen overnight, there will alot of patience involve, I don't doubt btc will reach that price level but how many of us can hold to that time! It is not going to be easy but if one is determined it can be possible.
Patience is much required in the cryptocurrency market. Once could profit in no time as well as could loss big. This is all depending on the market movements. Even with stocks and other forms of investments one needs patience to experience the profit out of it. There are people who have made a big profit overnight investing on cryptocurrency. This won't happen with everyone. In my understanding it is good to think it as long term investment and the profit is assured. It can also be said as patience pays.
Don't follow your emotion and you'll succeed holding until the price of bitcoin reach that level.

The problem with some of us is we don't follow the game plan, we have a good game plan to hold and believe it will happen as bitcoin's adoption is increasing but once we see the price is pumping, we are easily convinced to sell as we are afraid bitcoin might dump because of correction.

if we have that kind of mentality, then for sure we will not survive holding in the long run, we will not maximize our profit and we will lose our investment if the opposite of pump will happen. Unable to control our emotions is a big weakness when it comes to investing, we should work on that first.
2795  Economy / Speculation / Re: People are panic buying right now! on: October 11, 2021, 06:00:39 AM
Haha now people are panic buying now as you can see bitcoin price already bounce back from $43,000 and back to $45,000 now just within a day. Those who saying bitcoin already end when it was fallen to $30,000 will regret it to didn't buy on that time.

LONG LIVE BITCOIN! TO THE MOON!
people who are panic buying now have already made a profit, Bitcoin is growing very rapidly at the beginning of October, when the bitcoin price is slowly rising again I see a lot of people buying it I think it's not panic but a belief that bitcoin will rise again.

You noticed very well! Bitcoin is back in an uptrend. Of course, there will still be corrections, but I think that a positive upward trend is starting and it will last at least until the end of the year. I wouldn't say what we see now was panic buy. I think we still have to wait a month or two for the real panic of purchases.
Well I also saw the movement of the Bitcoin price and I think it is all because of the news from U.S that they never ban cryptocurrency together with some institutional investors that is now panic buying and this is maybe the factors that make the price continue rising.
It's not rising continuously, the movement is just positive because if bitcoin will remain bullish, we might see it break its current ATH and that's the real movement of a new bull run that could continue until next year. The good news does not automatically result in a pump, the market will still be weight by smart investors if it's already overvalued or not, and if it's overvalued, correction will eventually happen.

Bad pick for Lakers, they are still winless until now.

LBJ did not play while Westbrook still figuring out how to bring his stats with the Lakers.
Looks like Suns are taking the preseason seriously and they want it to fuel a good start in the regular season.

Too bad for those who bet on the LA Lakers, maybe let's stop backing them.  Smiley
2797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 10, 2021, 09:37:08 PM
I think they'll change it. Preserving the energy of Davis will be a factor to win each game.
Move him to the forward position since they have 2 big men in their roster. Howard and DeAndre Jordan.
All they need is to rotate the SG and SF position, Lebron, THT, Ariza, Ellington looking for a combination that would best spread the floor.
Davis cannot run both the offensive and defensive end or he will get exhausted and will take more rest on the bench than to play.
If I am Frank Vogel I would maximize the strength of my bench players as much as possible.

With that so many combinations that Coach Vogel has, changes in starters are more likely possible.
Davis should not play as Center, they already have Howard and if you noticed good changes from his game, Lakers should use him more now.
They've got LeBron, Russ and Melo who can play alternatively. I would like to see more from Rondo instead of letting Nunn to bring the ball,
the kid had a talent but experienced, wise Rondo still a better choice for that position.

Davis would be a key player from them and needs to be played very carefully as he is very injury prone as @Balik said.  Maybe WB, Monk, and Rondo can be rotated for the PG position and as you said, playing Davis as a Center is not a good idea as they have 2 huge guys for that position (Jordan and  Howard), Lebron can be rotated from PF and SF position depending on if Davis is on the bench or not and maybe Carmelo Anthony can also play a good part in the rotations as he can be played as both PF and SF and maybe SG if needed.

Lebron can also play as Center though, but you are right, Davis should not be in the Center position anymore, they have legit big guys who are healthy this season, Jordan and Howard are both dominant big men, besides, it's not necessary that big man will score, with the big 3 of the Lakers (WB, Lebron, and Davis), it's already enough for them to win against any team with the condition that they should remain healthy.
2798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 10, 2021, 08:24:54 PM
What's next for Wilder then?

No more big cheques definitely.

I was strange to see that such a jelly like Tyson has more stamina than sportish Wilder. Either this is due to Wilder gained and showed his maximum weight. Or because in every clinch Fury pushed his whole mass on Wilder, making him get tired.

The lack of stamina was best seen in round 9. Wilder was super slow.

Wilder walkout wore another costume… But funny that Fury did the same.
When it comes to bodybuild then we could really say that Wilder is much more good looking than with Fury and I do have those kind of impressions too but well as we do know about on the saying
"Don't judge a book by its cover" and this what really happened on here.

Fury really does not only have the power on his fist, but he also has that stamina that made him stand up and continue after he got knocked down. Both fight slower but the power was there, both have scored a knockdown but in the end, the strongest boxer survives and retains the belt. I am not sure if there's someone out their who could challenge and beat Fury after that fight, even Fury or Usyk, I doubt they have a chance to win against Fury.
2799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: October 10, 2021, 02:30:53 PM
Vitalik Buterin criticized El Salvador's decision to recognize bitcoin as an official monetary unit. Well, Vitalik, does he have his own point of view on everything, or is he dissatisfied with the fact that El Salvador legalized bitcoin and not ETH? I don't understand why he is talking about the forced imposition of bitcoin as a means of payment or is the incentive to use it through discounts a compulsion?
On Reddit in the discussion thread https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/q3udz3/unpopular_opinion_el_salvador_president_mr_nayab / user u/vbuterin said that “there is nothing unpopular in this opinion”" noting that "the mandatory adoption by enterprises of a certain cryptocurrency contradicts the ideals of freedom, which are supposed to be so important for the crypto space."


Vitalik has a point though, there's no freedom anymore if one is forced to accept bitcoin, however, I do understand the stance of the government, they were the first country to legalized bitcoin and it's not only for the purpose of it using as a payment system but their interest is to benefit from its adoption which is to profit from their investment.

https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/el-salvador-buys-150-more-bitcoins-president-says-2021-09-20/

They keep buying bitcoin and therefore they will also make sure that people under their regulation will use bitcoin to ensure that the growth of bitcoin as an investment.
2800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 10, 2021, 01:57:23 PM
There's a rumor that there is an internal conflict between Casimero and his management team, the MP Promotions. If only MPP did participate on the purse bid then somehow the money that will go to Casimero would likely be bigger than this. It's just awkward that there is only one promotional company (Probellum) that participated in that bid.

Though Casimero will get a 70% share of the pie i think that's too small for setting up for training camp, pay for hotels, and airfare as words had it that he will be on his own for this fight unless things with his boss will be iron out.

I do hope that this rumour is not true. We all know how supportive MP specially on fighters like Casimero.

Yeah, as I have said before, even if he gets the lion share, still very small and there could be -30% of the paycheck or even higher. That's why I asked the question of whether he should accept the fight or not. Nevertheless he has everything to lose if he decided not to so he should go and keep on winning.

I follow his social media account  Grin to get updates from him directly bro and with that matter, he said on Facebook that he will not give up the belt and he will take this fight. The good thing is, it is campaigning time for the presidential election and I don't think Manny will turn his back on him as votes from the Casimero family will turn to waste if he does that lol.

Kidding aside, yeah Manny will help as long as Casimero is willing to sit down and throw his pride and ego aside. I'm in the process now on what really happen that causes this internal conflict. 

MP promotion gave him an opportunity to be popular in the US, so I don't think he will turn his back on Manny, this is just one fight and he still has more fight after this, all Casimero has to do is beat Butler and then challenge Inoue again and make that fight happen.

As a fan, our discussion should focus on who our favorite fighter will fight, the money issue should be set aside as it will only make this sport more about money instead of more about pride and be the best in boxing.
