It could be but the questions could be address to those newbies in the market, as one of time during our journey in Bitcoin, we might feel nervous as we really don't know what is going on in the market, except that it keeps going down and the best thing do to that time is to sell.

Nevertheless, as we mature enough, we might have different approach, we could be (a), don't really care about the price movement as we seldom check the price, or (b), very happy to see the price going down and then buy more and continue to accumulate and DCA, or worst (c) we wanted to do something and buy but we don't have the capital, in short, wrong timing for the market to dip.

I think at some point in our gambling's history, we might have second deposited in less than 20% faster because it's either (a), we can't take that lost very quickly, and (b) we have some extra money to boot and so we deposited right away or (c), it's the greed, and the feeling that you wanted that adrenaline rush again and again.

And so I would say yes, although as I have matured already, once I lost my initial capital, there will be like inner voices inside of me and telling me to deposit again, but on the other hand, my mind says to step. And most of the time, I will just literally take a walk and just think of others to pre-occupy my mind instead of pushing myself to make a second deposit and most likely lose again.

Gabby Thomas if I'm not mistaken, has been the fastest women before finals in the 200 m, so I'm not surprised by her and Alfred getting the silver. I think it's just rewarding to see Thomas winning here and there are statistics that she started very slow, but and then Alfred trying to make some grounds but since this is Thomas specially, it's going hard to defeat there.


Unfortunately, they've lost another boxer and so they settled for 2 golds and 2 bronzes (for their boxers). So still they are the top Sea countries in the medal standings but you can see that all Sea countries are supporters of their neighbors are per their tweets and it's good to see that amongst Sea nations.

Yes, it's just to bad that Inoue has passed on Akhmadaliev, perhaps there was no incentive for Inoue as Akhmadaliev doesn't have the belt anymore. On the other hand Doheny, is a boxer that is popular in Japan, as he has been campaigning there and has like 3 or 4 fights already and so Japanese fans are familiar to him.


There is no doubt that the opening line favors Inoue, and I guess we can't just deny it. He has clean up the division already except for Akhmadaliev. And as reported this could be his last fight in this division and then moving to a weight class that is more challenging to him.

Yep, probably this is the first sign that Crawford is going to slow down or slowing down as he has age already. And good call not to push himself not to fight Canelo. And I do not think that it will be on his calendar to fight him.

There are a lot of names at 154 lbs, Ortiz, Tim Tsyzu or even Charlo. Any on the Charlo's will be a good fight for Crawford as this is going to be money fight. Or the next thing he can do is to try to unified that division, another record for him. Or go down to 147 lbs and shut the mouth of Boots Ennis. But for sure time is running out for him and there could be limited options as he can't turn back the hands of time.

Right, Djokovic has cemented his legacy with a big win against a young Carlos Alcaraz. He has complicated the golden slam. And this match is a good one, the oldest vs the youngest and we can say that experience is still the king here.

However, I would say that this could be Djokovic's last Olympics as he would be 40+ in the next four years. And with that, I think Alcaraz has a great chance in the next, not this time though, as this is Djokovic's time to shine.

I had Crawford winning specially in the championship rounds, which I think he really put everything and try to score and take that fight. We have seen Madrimov face, and this is due to the jabs of Bud. But yes, he should give respect for Madrimov as no one see that he can last the full 12 rounds against one of the pound for pound fighter that we have right now.

And I do agree that in this fight at 154 lbs, first time that we have seen Crawford not dominating his opponents and so he should not go and move up two divisions to fight Canelo Alvarez. I'm seeing that he is going to struggle with Canelo's power. And maybe we might be seeing the start of the decline of Crawford because he is not getting any younger as well.

Yes, it's obvious that is is one of the most important adage in gambling, and for sure we have this in our mind when we play and gamble. But most of the time we totally forget about this philosophy and we are carried to deposit for more and continue to play. Our emotions played with us so it's very difficult to control it.

With that, maybe you have developed it through years or experienced on how to fight it. Last night I have this urge, I have deposited twice already and lost, and so I was battling with my inner self to deposit for the third time and try to recoup my losses. However, difficult as it may sound, I just used to pass the time and walk around and watch youtube to calm me down until I fall asleep.

I would not say that Berlanga is outcome, he is ranked amongst in the four governing bodies of boxing. So he is a rising star and the plot is that him and Munguia as in the collision course to fight first and then the winner potential getting their payday against Canelo.

But it just so happened that they have already past Canelo, so the buildup to that hype has stop for a while and maybe we can say that they are very luck at their early age (both are less than 30 years old), that they have face the cash cow and then they have a guaranteed money in the line and most likely it will be in millions.

Not only patience, but he shows that he can recover and then knock out his opponent. Against Kavaliauskas, early in the fight, I thought that he will lost his belt as he is being dominated. But he came back and then knock the hell out of Kavaliauskas in round 9th.


Yeah, who wouldn't like him to face Canelo Alvarez, but there could be size difference though. I think Canelo will be too big for Crawford at 168 lbs. But let's see at 154 lbs or even at 160 lbs, I think Crawford can still bring his power to that weight. But it could be different for him at 168 lbs.

Yes, that is very clear since he lost to Bivol, he should have lost to GGG though. But now since Canelo is getting old, for sure his adviser is telling him to carefully select an opponent that will not be a treat or very easy fight. Now fighting Berlanga next this September and most like he will be getting the bigger purse split again.

No denying though that even if Canelo is declining, still other boxer sees him as the cash cow and so they are willing to fight even if the purse split favors Canelo. After all if they upset him, it will be a good stepping stone for them just like what Bivol is right now.

And talking about Canelo, David Morrell, will also be moving up at 175 lbs to face Radivoje Kalajdzic on the pay-per-view undercard of Israil Madrimov vs. Terence Crawford. It another fighter at 168 lbs that Canelo doesn't want to fight.

It's too bad Shelly-Ann withdraw in the race, Jamaica though also misses Elaine Thompson-Herah, who broke Flo Jo's record it out due to a achilles tear. I thought that Sha'Carri Richardson was the clear favorite to win. So I guess this is a sort of upset as Julien Alfred won the gold medal.

And so another record has been completed, for all the Filipinos here, Carlos Yulo won the gold in gymnastics,

Yeah, Brandon is young and he might be as tall as Vargas, but I think he has more power though and he can absorb punches as he has faces crazy heavy puncher like Magsayo, Nery and Fulton and recently knockout former champion in Jessie Magdaleno.

So both can be punchers, but I will also agree that Brandon is a good pick if this fight materializes in the future.

But we will have to look at Inoue's performance against Doheny here, but for sure he had already the champions in his mind in the featherweight division like this two tall boxers.

Yeah, I'm not a US citizen, but from what I read in the news, somewhat some media are trying to manipulate and at least report the Kamala Harris is closing the gape in terms of her chances to win against Trump.

I haven't put my bet yet, still enjoying the live roulette games for now. 

It's a complete contract, with the Biden administration as compare to Trump, who seems to be pro crypto now and put it on the spotlight again in this years Presidential election. So I guess the answer is why not? I mean if Trump can bring crypto closer to the biggest economy then they should be happy.

We have seen reports though that Russia is trying to circumvent the sanctions that has been put by the US on them because of the war. So it's two fold, in can help bolsters country if they uses it as a national reserved. Or what Russia is doing, embracing crypto with the intent on going around the sanctions on them.

Which one is the lesser evil?

Inoue has a clear path to become number 1, he had clean up the bantam and super bantamweight already. And if goes up to featherweight and win undisputed that will be the first time that we will see a fighter in modern belt era to do that.

Crawford though will be ahead of him again at he will go and fight Madrimov and chances are very high that he will win a new belt at a new division. But going undisputed? I don't think that Crawford has enough time though, he might be looking for many fights after his win against Madrimov and no longer looking for just belts as his legacy is already cemented.

And if we look at the betting lines, the over and under is 10.5. And the odds are very appealing already as it is above 1.8x. It's just a matter on how we see Crawford winning this fight. Will he go early and try to force himself and look for the knockout right away? Or uses his technical abilities with his jabs and feints and set traps?

We all know how intelligent Crawford is, he wouldn't be this great if he don't know how to uses his abilities. And yeah, another belt for him and it will make him a 4x world champion, from lightweight to welterweight, including the undisputed championship at light welterweight and welterweight.

@bbc.reporter - I do agree that they should fight, Vargas as the regular champion and then Figueroa the interim belt. It's about that because Vargas has held the belt hostage for so long if I'm not mistaken. And for me he should have been stripped already since he attempted to fight and lost to O'Shaquie Foster for the Jr. Featherweight and then a draw with Nick Ball.

So it's good that the WBC mandated that fight to settle once and for all who is their champion. And then after this, maybe the winner will face Inoue next if Inoue decided to go up in weight next year and started with a banger fight either Vargas and Figueroa, who are very tall for Inoue and it might give him a good challenge.

Male vs female in boxing? It's not going to be fair, like in this case so yeah, she should not be hit by a male simple as that. And then the damage Imane did to her, broken nose perhaps?

So it's hard to fathom while the committee let Imane fight if they were not allowing him in the previous Olympics. Of course there is this equality and what rights this personality has right now, but it's not really fair to see a male with that much testosterone in his simple. Not sure who will be the next opponent, but for sure the same damage can be inflicted to her and it's doesn't sounds fair.

Yes, and If I'm not mistaken, the North and South Koreans could have been playing under one banner during the 2016 or 2020 Olympics. So it's not that surprised to see the two having a selfie in this age and hopefully the North Koreans will not take his matter seriously to their athletes. And then know the consequences of defecting to the other side, their families are  going to suffer or maybe worst is death.

@TopTort77 - based on observation, the host country usually won a lot of medals and maybe some of them becoming the number one. So we shouldn't be surprised that France is taking a lot of golds right now.
