Matthew Wright is just leaving for his wedding.

He will be back next conference. Smiley
Well, I was wrong there, and thanks to that if that's for real. Is he still going to play for Phoenix or with another team? I guess when there are news and issues like this, we already have that automatic thought that they're leaving for B League. It's always the idea that we're thinking since many of the PBA players are already there.

It's still uncertain as Player and his camp can change the direction of their careers, who knows B-League offers is far better than any team from PBA can provide and the perks aside from the contract is really something that a player can't resist, all will be concluded once news about Wright's career has been announced,.

For now, it's still an open negotiation between his current team and the rest who are also interested in his service.

B-Leauge always has a better player than the PBA, even the highest paid player in the PBA which is JMF still earns lower than what the Filipino players in B League are earning. It's actually very tempting to sign for the B- league if Wright's reason for leaving is money.

How about you? Do you have Fengshui practice that you're observing when you are about to play or while playing
I don't believe in that thing but I admit that thing exists among us and some people do believe in that. I also met some people who practice this Fengshui or similar, but I don't talk or discuss it too much. So related to gambling, I don't practice anything related to that thing, such as superstitious or something like that because I think playing gambling is just having fun and only related to the money. And if some people still believe in that thing, I will let them with their beliefs.
We just have to respect what they believe, besides, most of the time we only rely on gambling to win, and even if it's a skilled-based type of gambling, we still need some luck to win. They have their belief, then be it, the most important is we are responsible enough and be realistic at the same time so we will know how much we can afford to risk and our chances of winning.

Yeah, if a player doesn't worry about bankroll management and doesn't control his emotions, the chance of winning will be close to zero in the long run. It seems to me that the optimal bankroll for slot games should be 500 or even 1000 times more than the initial bet per one spin. In other words, the principle is the same as in poker, except that the dispersion in slots is clearly many times greater than in poker.
Your chance of winning doesn't directly correspond to your bankroll management as you could win from your first bet or not with whole budget.But yes you should be utilising your funds in a very effective manner on slots or any game you prefer but aggressively going above your budget is bad for yourself and should be managed well.

This is true. Bank roll management just lengthened your survivability rate since you can avoid improper increases of bet due to spur of the moment emotion. I usually set a huge bank roll when playing table games and stay on my normal base bet until I hit my lucky streak then leave. I usually stick to this strategy even if I’m losing at the start since there always a time that I can recover all my losses by continuing playing using same bet as long as I still have money to continue playing.

Talking about bankroll management, I think this is only for serious gamblers. And when we speak of bankroll, I assume it's a decent amount that we could use in a session whatever type of gambling we are doing. For me, in sports betting, I also set a good bankroll and I always follow the pecentage per bet and that way it made me a discipline sports bettor.

-snip- pero kung siya ang mag lead, mahirap.
Well, never naman nag lead si Durant sa isang team, hindi siya kagaya ni Lebron James na siya talaga ang tinatawag ang leader.

Dati sa OKC, meron siyang partner at yan si Ruselle Westbrook, at ng nag join naman siya sa Warriors, andiyan din si Curry and Thompson.
Sa Nets, andiyan rin si Irving and Harden dati, so wala pa talagang napapatunayan yan para sa akin.

Meralco defeated SMB 89-86.

Great win by Meralco, I thought SMB would just dominate them but they played hard and upset the number 1 team.
SMB now is 9-2 but still number 1 in the standing, with this win, the ranking of Meralco has improved.
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: July 16, 2022, 12:03:46 AM
They don't have to admit nor need to confirm these because we can already say that the judges is quite favoring Canelo, and just like the Bivol-Canelo fight where the favorite, Canelo, was tried to help by the judges but Bivol really proved that he is dominating Canelo in each and every round. Can't blame Bivol because I think he also had some knowledge about this that's why he tried to make it so that the judges will have a hard time stretching the scores if it goes into a full 12 rounds, and that happened.

It is getting really depressing to see such bias from the judges. This is happening too frequently and those who pay $99 for the PPV purchase or a considerably higher amount to watch the fight in person will feel cheated. I can see a clear pattern here, of the jury favoring Canelo in every match. Actually this erodes the credibility of Canelo as well. In future, there will be questions over his record. Critics may accuse him of winning matches with help from the jury. That will be tragic, because Canelo is probably the best boxer in his weight division out there now.

And the sad thing about it is that kind of bias judgments are still around until now, even Mayweather Jr. had some experiences with it too that's why he managed to retire with a flawless record without a single draw in his career. He was accused and questioned but a win is a win no matter what, it will be really hard to adjust from that truth if it was already proclaimed.

In this fight, GGG probably knows about that well too and I know that he also knows that have to give some good punches, more than what Canelo could produce because I'm afraid, GGG won't be hailed if the scores will reach the judges. The easiest way to make the fight in his favor is to pin down Canelo as early as he can but that is much easier than done.

I just hope that the judges will be much fair this time because they will be stealing points from a man who is near his retirement, might be best to give some respect because GGG had been through so much all these years and the fact that he's still dancing in his 40s means something.

New coach, different style, let's see if the Lakers system will be more effective under him. It would be a big accomplishment of the coach if he could make Westbrook better because last season was probably the worst season of Russell Westbrook after winning an MVP award.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/westbru01.html

That is if Westbrook remains with the Lakers. We all know that Lebron is keen to trade away Westbrook. Even if they fail to trade him, do you think Lebron and Westbrook will still have good chemistry after they throw Westbrook under the bus?

Darvin Ham has been vocal that he's been trying to keep Westbrook even if LBJ is trying to pressure the management to have Irving on the Lakers and let Westbrook go, now that's up to the management if they can offer something to the Nets because I bet offering Westbrook wouldn't suffice to get Irving.

Also, Irving's camp has also said that Kyrie Irving is looking to wear the same jersey this coming season even if KD will be traded somewhere.
2808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Most Expensive Thing Bought with Winnings from the Casino or Sport Bet on: July 15, 2022, 11:03:43 PM
The most expensive thing that I've bought with winnings from my sportsbook bet were a car for my girlfriend.

Then I've left gambling, I was at some point between the gambling for fun and the addictment. So, better stop before than after. And I'm glad with my choice.

Reading something like this makes me smile and happy because there are still some people who choose to buy valuable gifts for their family or for the love of their life, that might be a bit expensive but I'm sure it was worth it to buy some valuable gifts for your girlfriend and considering that, I believe you got some good finances.
As for me, been winning some but it doesn't amount that big to buy some expensive ones. In most cases, I can only afford to bring my family to some mid-fancy restaurants and pay some bills in the house if there's something left.
I am not sure - everyone talks about payment and investment and fund and more money and loan.
I have hardly seen anyone - looking around and helping people in need. When I get some extra funds - I help people rather than buying expensive stuff.


You are not sure of what? That is totally fine because we all have our own priorities and we all have the right to do what we wanted with our winnings, be it expensive things for our loved ones, paying bills, investments, etc. Just like you, you choose to help people with your winnings rather than buying yourself or family something. There is no right or wrong about that.
2809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 15, 2022, 10:07:41 AM
I believe Ioka has more world title fight experience than Nietes.
I don't know about this but I like to believe that Nietes would not lose in this fight if he is not old, at his age now, I think Ioka will bounce back and beat him. Losing a split decision means the fight is very competitive, so now Kazuto Ioka has the edge due to his age and he is more active than Nietes I think.

Yes. I also think that prime Nietes will beat a prime Ioka. Both are the same 4 division champions and are future Hall of Famers. They nearly have the same styles too. They're both smart, technical, patient, and armed with excellent jabs. I just believe that prime Nietes is just slightly better.

Back to reality. Ioka has a clear edge in this coming rematch. I don't think Nietes has the power to knockout Ioka and his age makes the mission becoming nearly impossible.
Yes, no doubt! Nietes will indeed beat badly Ioka if they were both seating at the peak of their respective prime, Nietes wouldn't be the longest champion if he's not that strong enough to defend the belt every time had a fight. But that is all in the past because if we look closely at the situation now, lots have already changed and we can already say that Nietes is on the wrong side in this fight because Ioka is much younger and definitely have more edge to win in this rematch.

At speaking of trade, si Mitchell naman yata ang itrade ng Utah pero parang buong Knicks na ang kapalit eh hehehe.

Ugong-ugong nga si Mitchell naman ngayon ang papakawalan ng Utah Jazz, di naman sinabi kong ilan ang magiging kapalit niya pero sa nabasa kong article kanina ay parang interesado nga ang Jazz na kumuha ng mga batang player para magiging mukha ng kanilang team sa susunod na mga taon. Sa ngayon, confirmed na may discussion na nagaganap sa dalawang kupunan.

Para sa NY Knicks, balak nilang kunin si Mitchell, KAT at Booker pero sa ngayon si Mitchell ang pinaka priority nila.

Kung magiging successful ang mga speculations ng trades ngayon paniguradong malaking pag babago ang makikita natin sa bawat team sa darating na season. Mukhang nag te-testing na ngayon ang ibat ibang team kung paano palakasin ang kanilang roster at willing silang e trade yung mga franchise players nila. Ang  Utah Jazz talagang total rebuilding ginagawa nila.

May iilan na ding players na nakalipat bahay at meron parin ang nanatiling speculations hanggang sa ngayon, pinaka malakas na ugong ay yung pag request ng trade ni Durant pero hirap parin sila na makahanap ng team kasi malaki din ang mawawala ng chosen team kapalit ni Durant.
Sa Phoenix Suns naman, mananatili parin si Ayton sa the Valley dahil nag offer nadin sila ng 4-year $133 Million max offer sa kanya at tinanggap naman ito ni Ayton. Di na nakapalag ang Pacers dahil natapatan ang kanilang offer.

Casimero and Ancajas are now the bright prospects of bringing glory to the PH in the world of boxing.

I think Casimero is now the best fighter in the Philippines, if only his title was not stripped, he could fight Inoue and we will see how far Inoue could go against him. I believe that Casimero will become a champion soon, and we will have a Filipino champion to follow again.

Filipino boxers are so unlucky this year.

Casimero
Magsayo
Donaire.

They all lose their title this year.

Well, that's boxing though, sometimes you lose, in the case of Casimero, he lost his belt on the weighing scale. While Donaire to a young monster and then Magsayo fell short because his talent seems to be raw.

As for Nietes, same case with Donaire, old and aging champion that wanted to bring back the time. But Ioka was the better fighter. He is at his prime and Nietes has no answer when the bell rings. And there was no controversy, as he lost badly, but during his prime, he is one of the PH best.

Casimero could've gotten far if not because of his weight issues and we could see how would Casimero and Inoue perform when these two classic boxers share a ring but we didn't got the chance because Casimero was stripped even before he got a chance to step foot on the ring.
The thing is that Casimero's enemy is his own self because his weight disables and brings obstruction to his past few fights.
I'm afraid that his only choice is to step up to the next division and that he needs to make a decision this year too because time is not on his side as he's not getting any younger.

^^ For sure, the commissioner is not going to be happy with that. Yes players have freedom, but in this case, and if I'm not mistaken, this is a super max contract being given to KD and then after a few years and he still has like 2 years in his contract, he suddenly request a trade? It is close to being disrespectful to Brooklyn, after emptying their pockets not just for him but for Irving as well, he will suddenly ditch the Nets because it's not going his way? Yeah, for sure new rules are going to be set in by the NBA to address this kind of scenario.

That's a pure disrespect, Durant already had a big salary and yet he still want to leave the team, there must be a problem within the organization, but I think it's not fair to request for a trade when the management has not met their expectation yet from Durant.

I agree, surely that was a slap to the management after what they done for Durant and he should stop these nonsense while trying use his freedom to opt out from the Nets. He should learn that he was also a part of the mistake last season because he was also not there to help the team as he was injured, if he wasn't injured that time, he could've at least avoided the situation where the team was swept in the 1st round and I bet Harden is still in the Nets.

I'm just saying that the most chances is that GGG can only afford to win by a decision either SD or UD or even MD, but a knockout chance is also possible even if he's already 40 years old. I still believe that GGG can still bring more load even at his age.

As long as he clearly won every round, GGG might pull an upset over the decision.

Although not officially confirmed that there's a flaw in judging in favor of Canelo, it's hard to fight against scorecards when fighting Canelo. In Canelo's previous fight against Bivol, the latter make sure that he will dominate the former every round for the public to see that he is owning Canelo if ever the scorecards turned against him.

If this fight will be close and end up in a decision, I doubt GGG has a chance to win.

As we know, business.

They don't have to admit nor need to confirm these because we can already say that the judges is quite favoring Canelo, and just like the Bivol-Canelo fight where the favorite, Canelo, was tried to help by the judges but Bivol really proved that he is dominating Canelo in each and every round.

Sometimes they avoid kyc at the casinos due to personal privacy they don't want to reveal it. Sometimes there are times when we gamble and we win big, and we get to the point where we want to release what we have won by gambling because it is big, then the casino sometimes gives a policy to players who proud of the amount you release on their gambling platform they required their clients to submit kyc which the gambler or player has no other choice but to submit it.
Of course, the majority would still want to remain their identity hidden, and releasing a piece of personal information is really risky if there will be a time that the site will be hacked, we never know and it's better to be safe than sorry. But I guess we will just have to get used to it because, in no time, we won't have the same freedom we have now as sooner or later, all casinos will ask KYC upon registering at their platform.
Yes, we never know how secure a gambling site can be and with our permission in submitting our personal information once that happen we are also placing ourselves in danger as hackers can simply use this info to an illegal thing online, or they can sell it out. The reason why there are still gamblers who wanted to stay discreet and not willing to proceed once KYC has being ask to continue gambling.

Gamblers like this will be more willing to look for another site to play and stay hidden instead of submitting KYC.

And if we choose to submit our personal information then I'm afraid that it will also means that we're accepting the risk we could get if in case the site where our identities are submitted will be hacked. I'm also guilty of this because I also submitted my personal details for verification purposes and I'm just hoping that their wall are strong enough to prevent these hackers from going through. Online casinos are one of the main targets of these hackers because the information and details they can get comes with an expensive price in the black market.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 11, 2022, 12:37:36 PM
Nevertheless, this is a very experienced boxer.  He knows a lot of clever boxing tricks that can lead him to victory.  At the same time, he lacks aggressiveness and pressure.  His punches don't lead to a knockout.  They are not accurate or powerful enough.  

Therefore, in my opinion, Kazuko Ioka will defeat Donnie Nietes in this boxing match

In terms of experience he has the edge, but if his age would be the reason for him to lose his stamina, I think he will not win in this fight.

Prime Nietes was a very fine technical fighter. When facing an aggressive and pressure fighter, he will be the matador. I think Nietes has decent power capable of knockouts but he prefers to stay safe and away from risk. I kind of disagree that Nietes is not accurate otherwise he would have lost a lot of his previous fights because he is not a volume puncher. You can't be a 4 division champion, a lineal, and a top 10 Ring pound for pound without great accuracy. 

Let's not get misled by Ioka's 30 fights compared to Nietes' 44. Ioka once held the Japanese record with the fewest fights to become a world champion. Ioka became a world champion in only his 7th professional fight (correct me if I'm wrong but I think this was later broken by Inoue and then by Tanaka). I believe Ioka has more world title fight experience than Nietes.
I don't know about this but I like to believe that Nietes would not lose in this fight if he is not old, at his age now, I think Ioka will bounce back and beat him. Losing a split decision means the fight is very competitive, so now Kazuto Ioka has the edge due to his age and he is more active than Nietes I think.

Chet Holmgren kaya bang maging Giannis Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Nag umpisa ring payat si Giannis sa NBA, nagpalaki ng katawan pero nadala pa rin ang bilis.

Mga big man naman na nagpalaki ng katawan which is hindi naging successful ay sina, Davis at Porzingis, so ano sa tingin ninyo, hindi kaya maging prone to injury pag nagpalaki ng katawan si Chet Holmgren?

Parang iba kasi ang built ni Chet, combo ni Dirk at ni KD. Samantalang is Giannis naman ay talagang Greek Freak, kakaiba ang hubog na kahit lumaki ang katawan ganun parin, hindi nagbabago ang bilis. So sa tingin ko baka hindi naman gaano kalaki ang idagdag sa frame ni Chet, sakto lang siguro na hindi sya matulak tulak sa loob at mabilis parin pag galing sa labas at dahil may pukol sa tres. Maganda talaga eh ikuha sya ng isang trainer na focus lang sa kanya, strength and conditioning lalo na yung alam kung paano ma prevent ang injuries at hindi lang puro buhat ng weights o mag stay sa gym na pagkatagal tagal. Mga 10-15 lbs muna at tingnan kung ano epekto nito sa katawan nya.

Pansin ko nga sa mga highlights game niya, pag naka rebound siya na bola, siya na ang nagtatawid sa kabila, magaling rin kasi ang shooting outside. Tingin ko kailangan lang niyang i conserve ang energy niya, hindi na kailangan siya magtawid kasi pag na double na siya, medyo na raratle na rin.

Siguro for comparison, malapit siguro ito kay Durant kung maging superstar.
