^^ DeRozan was really big in the Bulls win.

And it was really close, the Lakers even takes a 5 point lead early in the 4th as Lebron is very aggressive. But DeRozan keep them in the game and not allowing the Lakers to push the gap against them. And that Kobe White dunk really made a big changes as it swing the momentum to the Bulls. Vuce also clutch two a as well when the Lakers play small with no center. And then they missed their chances to tie the score when the Anthony and Ellington's 3 didn't get in.

It's a sure win for the Phoenix Suns now. 3 minutes left with a 30 point lead. I didn't expect Booker will play and that made it a higher chance to win our bets. Cheers to us.

The sad news is the 76ers game versus the Pelicans was postponed due to injuries and health protocol.

My bet was already "void"  and they gave back my bet. No problem. We want to witness a better game rather than a forced one that may just add up to the piling Covid-19 problem and injuries.

Ok thanks for the update, I was looking for this game and I thought that you made the mistakes of giving tips about this game because when I woke up it's nowhere to be found in the betting sites.

Lots of games are really affected by the safety and health issues, was reading the coach Vogel of the Lakers will not be at the helm as well.

Anyhow, good game between the Minnessota and Dallas, less than 1 minute with T'Wolves slightly protecting a 5 point lead. Not safe as we have seen how OKC wins against the Clippers last night.

^^ He was really on top during his prime, and that's why we know them as big 3 or big 4 with Murray in the picture.

Unfortunately, amongst the 4 he was really the first one to crack, I mean his body really took a tool too early in his career and wasn't able to extend his dominance with a injury and then the big 3 takes over. I do hope that he can still reignite his career, but I have said before, it will be difficult and I doubt that he will win another tournament.

Well history tells us that everything is fad in altcoin market, ICO-IDO-IEO, the whole staking, meme coins, NFT's and others. So currently, NFT is the latest hype, but I think it will die down when a new thing comes along in crypto space.

Average Joe can just make an art and then posted it in NFT marketplace and hopefully someone will buy it. So everyone is enjoying this hype. But as I have said, it has end of life process, maybe in the next 2-3 years a new hype will come along..
2785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: December 19, 2021, 10:12:39 AM
^^ The Canelo fight was really close, others say that he should have won the first fight and it shouldn't be a draw. And that alone shows how good GGG that time, maybe he was still in his prime during their first fight.

But now he is turning 40 and the time is running out for him to face Canelo again at 160 lbs.

So the best thing for him is to really dominate the 160 lbs division and become the one of the greatest in the middleweight in the last 10-20 years.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander!!! Buzzer beater in the three-point lane.
What a great ball game! Clippers could've put the dagger if Winslow put in the two free throws given to him. But no, he missed them both and let the lead stay on 2.
What's more amazing is, it was Nicolas Batum who was defending SGA. He was expecting him to attack the paint for a two-point and let the game go overtime but he didn't. Stepped back make a large space against the defender and gave the OKC a W.

Damn, I had Clippers -2.5 in that game mate, when Jackson shoot both free throws I said to myself that my chances are high to win as they are up by 4 points. But they did put a poor defence on SGA and allow him to score easy two. And then that 2 free throw missed really cost me the game and then that winning shot by SGA. Well that's NBA for us, truly excitement up to the last second.

I feel you, Even I don't have a bet in that game but the frustration after that 2 missed FT.

And like what you have just said, it's NBA and shit always can happen. What to do now is to move on and forget about the game
to think clear finding the game that will give you a chance to recover.

Congrats to all those who take both ML and handicap for OKC, that's really sweet!

SGA has developed into a great player and definitely deserves an All-Star this year.

I think that OKC is low-key very talented and they should get a whole lot better as the year goes on and players develop.

The defense by Batum was honestly unacceptable though. Like come on.

Right, I think they are building the team around him.

It's was reminiscent of Dame hitting on PG13 in the playoffs.

The problem with OKC is that the rebuilding process is taking too slow, they should get someone in the office to really make the players fit into the system with SGA as their franchise player.
2787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: December 19, 2021, 09:01:52 AM
Looking on Magsayo's boxing record, he doesnt have losses yet but I dont see any big names in his previous opponents. So this fight will be a break for his boxing career, getting the title from Russell is his chance to become well known on boxing.

Maybe Rigoberto Hermosillo and Cesar Ceja might ring a bell to some of us.

But fighting Russell is a big opportunity for Magsayo to move forward in his career. It's going to be a defining fight for him.

However that wont be easy knowing that Russell has an incredible speed and accurate power punches. Magsayo needs to train harder and improve his defense skills I can see that his lacking on it.

No easy roads, specially champion vs champion fight and only one is going to win here. So he better be prepared 110% and do his best to win in the end.

And we might call it history repeating itself, it's just how much is the next all time high or how deep is the price going to be before we can bounce back. So right now we are still in the middle of it, around $47k from the last all time high of almost $70k.

So as far as $100k, yeah, this might not be achieved and it might be difficult in 2022 as well as we might be entering a long and bear market, just saying.
2789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 19, 2021, 03:39:41 AM
Warriors vs Toronto game, Draymond and Steph might rest in this game as reported already, so this is a good chance for the Raptors to have a win against the top team right now.

I don't think they'll let them rest both Curry and Green since Jordan Poole is going to be sidelined due to covid health and safety protocol.
However, Raptors will have a good chance to win in this game, since they were also able to cover the spread from their last couple of games and they also have a good game.
Looking at the spread and odds, it really looks like the GSW is not going to play with the complete roster.

It's already a blowout lost to the Warriors mate, as I have said, no Curry, no Draymond Green, no Jordan Poole so instant win for the Raptors with a huge 19 points win.

I guess the Warriors are willing to let this one slip away from them. Not worth to push those three to play tonight. And it's better to rest them because of a back to back game. They are still on the top of the standings still.
2790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Justin Sun Is Retiring From Tron. on: December 18, 2021, 12:39:17 PM
He wants to become a blockchain tech ambasssdor but
Sun said he will continue promoting Tron’s brand while stepping away from the day-to-day operations at the Tron Foundation.
I don't know about you but anyone who is aiming for a position like that should be as neutral as possible. I can imagine him talking to the public promoting blockchain while using Tron as main example. There is a level of influence there which is almost the same with shilling his own bag.

Good catch, so still a win-win for him and for Tron. I mean going out in the public for convention and then it become a Tron like promotion. So maybe this is the main reason why suddenly he abandon Tron from face value, but it looks like he has a narrative behind all of it. And we all seems to know that Justin is known to shill for Tron on whatever and whichever capacity he has, whether in social media or in the public itself. So this is a good avenue for him.
2791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Arthur Beterbiev vs Marcus Browne Light Heavyweight Championship on: December 18, 2021, 11:25:43 AM
After the odds it looks like the bookmakers have already decided who will win this fight.
It's hard to disagree that Arthur Beterbiev is a favorite in this match, but I'm surprised no one gives Marcus Browne a chance. After all, Betarbiev had a very long breake, and it's hard to say for sure whether he has been training solidly or drinking drinks during these two years..

Browne has chance but it was slim, if you see the fight, he really tried his best in the first couple of rounds and I gave him the first 2 rounds to be honest.

But after that, Beterviev got into his groove so and then he score in the next rounds for me until Browne won again in my card. But in round 7, Beterviev started to really gets hot and then scored a knee (knock down), and after that Browne tried to fought in round 8. But it was over in round 9 with that huge uppercut right on target.
2792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: December 18, 2021, 10:32:59 AM
RE Đoković: I would be ok if they told him that his movement would be restricted or that he has to fly in with a charter plane and book the whole hotel for himself or whatever.
But they are actually stopping him from entering the country, even with a negative PCR test - and he can't participate in the tournament that's being held in the open.

I know Australia has a hard stance on COVID, but I feel this is not good for anyone. I'm not asking for special treatment for Novak, I simply want sport that is disconnected from politics and a tournament in which best players can play freely without endangering anybody else.

@cryptofrka
We talked about Del Potro the other day and I just read he is coming back to play after 4 knee surgeries and several years without pro tennis. Hopefully it will work work for him this time around. Did not expect to see him on tour ever again.

Don't know what to think about that. He'll probably get kicked around against mediocre players. I'd be happier if he didn't return, same with Murray.

Djokovic could have taken a fake vaccine of something but he just wouldnt ,thats how he is,he wants to make a stand but this stand will cost him of participating at the biggest tournament of the years  and will cost or delay history for him. Australia has some strict rules and they dont deserve to host such a big tournament

And that is the big question, did he really go far that length to fake a vaccine and claim that he has been vaccinated so that he can play in the Australian Open?

Is he really that stupid and take the risk and then later on he will be exposed and his reputation ruin?

Or just take the jab just like the rest of the players in the tournament so that he will make them comfortable and he himself become safe to anyone around?
2793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 18, 2021, 09:50:29 AM
Back to commenting on this topic... yes, LeBron James for his age, he's still very athletic! I believe he is one of the most well-arounded players the NBA has ever had.
Depending on the situation and your athleticism, I share with you that LeBron James will be able to play after 40 years.

Lebron James is still in a great shape to continue playing in NBA for many more years indeed. Despite his current age, his performance level is very high now. He is one of the most special players in NBA history undoubtedly. And he is a legend at the same time. And I wonder whether we will see him at another team before he retires or he will decide to end his career at Lakers. As he won a championship with Lakers also maybe he could look for another adventure later.

There's a lot of speculation that Lebron might be waiting for his son to enter the NBA and hoping that they can play along for at least a season before he retires.

So with that, I think he will continue to play in his 40's and also protect his body so that he can keep up and still be athletic at that age. Not sure if he can catch up Karl Malone in the second position as all time scoring leaders, maybe that's one of his goals as well.
2794  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your analysis says about btc in Q1 of 2022?? on: December 18, 2021, 09:27:52 AM
If we think from the previous position, very soon we will see the price of BTC at the highest level again in the new year. But it cannot be said that BTC will always follow the same plan. Nothing new can happen here. All we hope is that it will be better by the end of the year and will be at its highest position early next year. I think this may be the complete opposite of the idea.

You just contradict yourself. Currently, we've entered another dip so I will speculate that this might continue up to the end of the year and we will see the price just hovering above $40k'ish for the meantime. Very far from what we are expecting at the end of 2021, but it is what it is.

So it's better to prepare ourselves for an eventual bear market next year, just saying.

It's good like that instead of hoping that we might be in another super bullish phase that might push the price to $100k in Q1 of 2022. At least you can hedge your money right now.
2795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Ioka Dec 31 on: December 18, 2021, 08:50:23 AM
^^ Right, there's a lot of good Filipino boxers, but Pacman is just above the rest of them. Not just inside the ring, but outside he has accomplished so much for the Philippines helping people and becoming a Senator.

Going back to the topic, Ancajas should be really sharp in this fight. 100% full and dedicated to training and even if the fight is push through he shouldn't lost focus on his Japanese opponent because Ioka is also very solid all around. I do hope that this fight will happen, this is going to be the biggest test on Ancajas and we wanted to see if he can pass it.
I have doubts on the Senator part, I mean he has the highest absences back when he was still a Senator so I don't see how he is helping the people. Ancajas is on another level though, I mean he has only 1 lose and it's a close one too and around 20+ of his wins were by KO so I don't see how he is going to be losing in this one.

On the sport side, Ancajas have that great chance in beaing Ioka once the fight got a go signal.

I mean like we all are saying, he got the power punch if that combo landed direct to Ioka's critical part the win will be there
for him.

We just need to wait for further development about this fight and hope that he will bring the glory.

Yes, Ancajas is also a champion before we forget, he has defended this belt for a long time now.

So he has face a lot of good contenders and champions along the way, maybe this one will be his toughest fight but still he has a good chance if those powers landed on the chin and body of Ioka. Boxers are vulnerable to body shots and if hits you on the spot, for sure they will have to go down. So I'm seeing Ancajas utiliizing his power on slowing down Ioka thru body shots.
2796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 18, 2021, 08:17:22 AM
Warriors vs Toronto game, Draymond and Steph might rest in this game as reported already, so this is a good chance for the Raptors to have a win against the top team right now.

Early game between the Rockets and the Pistons, but I would say that Pistons might be an edge here.

I'm going with Detroit -1.5 @1.91. I love the Rockets team, but the home team will win here.
2797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: December 16, 2021, 11:23:59 PM
If Djokovic can go in a crowd, watching basketball with 30,000 people then for me he is already vaccinated.

Maybe he doesn't want to tell the public about it because of his anti-vaccine since the beginning.

But have been taken the jab already even prior to the news of Australia requiring everyone to enter their country full vaccinated. So my personal opinion is that he is vaccinated but doesn't want to tell it to the public.
I tried to stay out of all this vaccination stuff since it should not be part of the sports but since it is only thing worth talking about in tennis at the moment...

I don't think he is vaccinated. To get into that basketball game he probably just needed negative covid test and that is much more fair solution in my opinion. I get it that governments want more people to do it and that is why we have measures as we do but vaccinated people can still spread the disease, granted not us much as non-vaccinated but still when you have big gatherings you have to either remove all the measures all require negative test from everybody. Everything else is half measure and discrimination.

If he got the job, he would issue some statement for sure. It is not something he will be able to keep as a secret even though it should be everyone basic right.

True, as much as we wanted to stay out of it, we have to discussed it right now because it involves the top seed and we are still in the pandemic and everyone is really affected by it specially that we have a new variant and we should protect not just ourselves but others as well because after all we are all social human being.

And with that said, the Australian government should really impose the "no jab, no play" in their country. So if Djokovic doesn't have the vaccine then let the AO organizers not allowed him to play, simply as that.
2798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Arthur Beterbiev vs Marcus Browne Light Heavyweight Championship on: December 16, 2021, 05:47:13 PM
Lol, what an odds for Beterviev so it's like saying that Browne has no chance to win here.

In any case, Arthur is really a monster and we wanted to see him fight Canelo but it seems that Canelo is staying away from him.

It's probably what rounds is Beterviev going to knock out Brown and that is a good bet in my opinion and not the ML.

If there's one boxer who can stop Canelo's train this could be the man Beterbiev I have seen highlights of some of his fights and he is a monster inside the ring, he loves to move forward and engage and go toe to toe I seldom see him backing out of the fight, he is also a very calculated boxer with a good movement, I hope he meets Canelo in the ring, on Marcus Browne's chances I don't think he has a chance at all, could be the biggest upset if he beats Beterbiev..

And maybe this is Beterviev get busy fight for this year, less risk for him instead of fighting top tier opponents in LHW or maybe he has clean it up, I have to check it.

But yes, the odds are not surprising, a monster like Beterviev will always get the low odds because of his knock out power and move forward attitude. Hopefully when Canelo decided to go down he, will fight him this year in September.
2799  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: December 16, 2021, 04:42:47 PM

Yes, Canelo has been jumping from one weight division to another. And even when he jumped to 175 pounds he was still able to handle himself well and even scored a great knockout victory against Kovalev. So I don't think Canelo has made this decision without taking into consideration how much weight he has to gain to be able to face Makabu. If he makes it to the scale, I think he can also handle Makabu well and could even bring him to the canvas as well. But 175 to 190 has 15 pounds in the middle. That's a big amount of weight Canelo has to gain.

Based on the body built of Canelo it wouldn't be hard for him to attain the 175 pounds requirement for the Cruiserweight division and yeah for sure he and or his team wouldn't allow jumping from one division to another if they know that Canelo isn't capable of. Maybe 190 pounds would be a bit challenging for him on how to attain it but somehow I think we shouldn't have to focus on it since Canelo has already a scheduled upcoming fight against Makabu.

175 lbs is for Light Heavy Weight, 190 lbs is for Cruiserweight. Maybe Canelo will weight between 180-190 lbs fighting in this division because for sure it will be hard for him to go to 200 lbs walking.

Well he can lift weights to gain body muscle but it might affect his speed, which will be his biggest advantage against a natural cruiserweight like Makabu.
2800  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Finally Climbs Back Above $50k, but can it Remain there? on: December 16, 2021, 12:02:32 PM
I cant say that Bitcoin finally starts climbing back, it just stopped falling down. I continue to observer how the price goes up during day, and goes back in the evening. On a day graph it is seen clearly. But in quarter or half a year period it looks more like a line to me. So it is not climbing. Its price is above $49k, but by the end of the day I expect a price drop again. Hard to believe we will see a real growth any time soon. Previously, recent Elon Musk tweet would push the price up, but this time it managed only to shake cryptocurrency market.

It's been more than a month from our last all time high and after that the price dip that currently we are having time overcoming that big $50k resistance right now

So we will never known, perhaps the market will continue this way up to the end of the year.

Or maybe we still have some bull run that will push the price to somewhat around $52k.

Regarding Elon Musk tweet, I think we are done with him that's why his tweet has no effect in the market already. He no longer has the influence like he has before.
