2801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: October 23, 2021, 02:05:02 PM
Here's the link for the official weigh-in:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcpe1pJDsag

Go forward to 16:22 for Stevenson and Herring.

Stevenson - 130 lbs
Herring -129.8 lbs

And probably be rehydrating 10 lbs after the final weigh-in. Shakur keeps flexing, while Herring is very cool with the belt on his shoulder. And as I have said previously, look at Herring's camp they know Shakur's trainer very well. And Shakur is the first one to crack, touching Jamel's belt, lol.

Thanks,  Jamel Herring is the defending champion here and yet he is a heavy underdog, as I checked on my bookie the odds now for Herring is already 8.20, I don't know what's happening, could it be a gift or just a trap so people will find it attractive?

It could be a trap, but then again, as you have said, he is the defending champion here so it's absolutely nuts to see him as the underdog against Shakur who hasn't been tested although there is a lot of hype around this kind. Maybe bettors really put all their money on Shakur as the ML is only 1.06. Hopefully we can see some upsets to shake up this division again.

It could be a trap or not, but with that very attractive odds for the champion, I think there's no need to think twice, just take it and enjoy the fight. At 8.20, you can put $100 and you'll get a return of $820, or maybe increase that a bit to get at least a thousand dollars if Herring will be successful in defending his title.

I have to admit that a pro influencer can tempt people to follow their suggestion because those influencers play with their word pretend that will happen to people if they use the advice from the influencer. But a wise gambler will not do that easily as they will have knowledge and skills to analyze what they need to do after watching the influencer video. They do not have just to follow but think more about the risk and other things.
They won't be called influencers if they can't change the mind of their followers. It's one thing for sure that influencers can be part of the decision-making of their followers and that's easy for them to do. That's why they're paid and hired by different companies in doing so to add the craze for the company that paid them to advertise. For the gamblers who have experience and been gambling for years, they can't easily be manipulated by these people.

Not all influencers are "influencers", if you know what I mean. Mostly, it is just all about money, they don't care about the latter effect of what they are doing as long as they have benefits on doing so, that's the sad truth about it. It's funny to the point that the influencers who are promoting a gambling platform doesn't even know how to play it, they are just reading the scripts which was given to them.

That's true, and actually, you can already tell that they are doing it for money as they become a youtube in order to earn money, I mean the main purpose is money so they'll bite that money given to them just to promote a gambling site. Actually, there's nothing wrong with that as long as gambling is legal and as a gambler, we are responsible enough to manage the risk. In the end, it's always important to tell people about the risk.

Bulls are playing great basketball therefore I'll back them against the Pistons although they are in a back to back game.

The odds which is Bulls -9 make me believe that they will again have another easy win and that the high odds will be covered without a problem.

Good luck everyone!
2804  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do we see 5k Eth price by end of the month on: October 22, 2021, 07:46:41 AM

Im thinking that the price might even surpass the $5k value before this year end. There's a minor correction now but still its over $4k.

That's on target if bitcoin will continue to be bullish, we have some minor drop, and we can't tell if it's just a minor correction. The thing is, the crypto market is very unpredictable, sometimes when we got hype, we don't see anymore the reality that the price is going down until we cannot sell anymore to minimize the losses.

Remember that this year is a bullish year, it could end this month or until December, so we have to be careful and do the timely action needed.
2805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 22, 2021, 06:05:02 AM
Keep an eye on the all-time greatest 3 points shooters, Curry is going to make it this season as he already average 5 3 points per game in 2 games so far.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg3_career.html
If playing against a team that is not good with defense or a high-scoring team, the chance of Curry to surpass Ray Allen soon is very big.
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 22, 2021, 05:48:12 AM
0-1 in the regular season so far, still looking for my first win.

We have only 3 games on the table, but I was able to pick the best one for me.
Tonight, I have the Miami Heat to win against the Bucks.

From slight underdog to favorites now, I got the Heat @-2.5, GL!

Lol, Heat just smothered the Bucks by big 40+ points so enough to covered you spread mate, congrats to your first win.

I haven't bet on this game though, I'm 1-1 so far but we all know that there's plenty of games in the calendar for us so better be smart in choosing our bets. Warriors vs Clippers is close, but if I have to bet, I will go with the Warriors yet.

I hadn’t seen the box scores yet and that does sound like the Bucks caught a beat down. Safe to say the Heat covered. They’ve got a pretty good team this year after a busy couple of offseasons signing players. I don’t think they’re as good as they showed here tonight, and maybe is more of a sign of how exhausted the team is after giving their all against the Nets and not yet being in playing shape.

I was not expecting this huge win by the Heat, looks like they already have their revenge and send a statement to the Bucks that they will be a hard team to beat once they meet again in the playoffs. Giannis wasn't a big factor in this game, he was only held to 15 points and when he struggles, the whole team will, so congrats to me, lol.
2807  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: October 21, 2021, 08:40:14 PM
I'm positive that there will be some sort of resistance within the price range of $60,000-$64,000, for quite some time, before a new all-time high record can be surpassed.
I am negative about those resistance levels because we may see bitcoin markets to be trading above $70k levels over the night as FOMO got all the power to break and keep going against all such resistance levels. I read many institutions started planning and working to have bitcoin in their portfolio before any second country to be announcing and adopting bitcoin as their legal tender.


There's a reason for them to position themselves as when a certain country announce they'll legalize and consider bitcoin as a legal tender, we know that would result in a huge adoption, and of course, as an impact, the price will rise, and once the news spread it might also cause a bullish market movement.

Small countries who are struggling economically doesn't need the help of big countries to survive, they'll just have to open opportunity for crypto to enter and they'll benefit from it, it's not an experiment that they are uncertain with the outcome because some country had already tried it.

1st pick of the regular season.

Hey guys, hopefully, we will start winning so we will have a profitable regular season.
As always, I just have to do one pick per day so I could choose the best game that I think I see a value.

Tonight, I have the Portland Trail Blazers will against the Sacramento kings.

Pick : My pick TRAIL BLAZERS -6.5, good luck!
2810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 18, 2021, 09:15:54 PM

This season it's different, the GSW's era is over, it's now the battle of the big teams which are the LA Lakers and Nets, period.

Let's see if Lakers and Nets will live up to our expectations, and please watch out for the Warriors as they have Klay back this season, this might be an improved warrior with Curry and Klay taking this team to the NBA Finals, again, for sure it will be fun to watch since most of us did not expect it to happen, but you know, when Klay and Curry are both health, warriors always has a chance to beat the top favorites.

Too early to conclude that, Lakers and Nets are the favorite to win but with how each teams improve,

It's not easy to say that they are really dominant this season. The defending Champ improved their lineup while we see trades also from Miami and Bulls, just some interesting teams to watchout this upcoming regular season in the eastside.

West side still has a lot of potential, we can't say that Lakers can also dominate it easily, GSW, Clippers and Nuggets are also chasing
for the title.


It would be nice if we will see a close competition in the West and East, with the new star players, added to the teams like Bulls and Miami Heat, I'm expecting that they would somehow give a tough match to the favorites which are the Nets and the Bucks but I don't think they'll win against these two teams.

On the West, I saw how PG had improved last playoffs, he was a real Playoff George as he took in charge when Leonard was injured, but they lack a big man IMO and the Lakers had that so they'll certainly dominate in the matchup. For Nuggets, they are the same team IMO although they can pull a surprise against the favorites but I don't expect them to advance in the NBA Finals.
2811  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 18, 2021, 05:03:57 PM
In my opinion, if the price of bitcoin continues to break through the support level above $60k until early December, then the price of bitcoin has the potential to continue to rise and will reach more than $70k by Christmas.
After the failure of bitcoin to reach a price of $ 58K a few weeks ago made me a little doubtful if bitcoin could reach a price of $ 70K by the end of this year, but looking at bitcoin price movements in the last 3 days, it looks like bitcoin will be able to reach a price of $ 70K in December, if indeed bitcoin can continue to maintain its positive momentum as it is today and of course we hope that there will be no more FUDs that will attack bitcoin in the future.


The $70k target now only looks like a conservative target, if bitcoin will hit a new ATH soon, it will likely hit $70k with ease. You know how hype can easily build up once a new ATH will is achieved and that could easily make bitcoin pump even more and $70k is very possible on its next big run.
2812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 18, 2021, 04:29:56 PM
It looks like we're glad to see him back with the team. I don't think he'll get a lot of minutes in the first ten games but just wait until Sixers starts losing again and one of the factors is Ben's missing valuable free throws.
We will see, their first game will be on Oct. 20 against the Pelicans on the road.

Simmons being able to attend the practice would mean positive or negative for the team as that depends on his contribution to the team. He still has that talent and he can contribute in areas where the team needed him, so without him, or him getting limited minutes, that's a gamble for the team.

Quote
I expect the drama to resurface again hehe.
I hope they'll stop that, it would not benefit Simmons and most especially to the team at all.
2813  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto will rival or replace fiat in 10 years? on: October 18, 2021, 11:52:00 AM
If crypto is legal and accepted then I think it will give us many options besides fiat, cannot completely replace fiat. It definitely won't happen. It happens when governments launch their own cryptocurrencies and control them.
That's right, no government would allow that their own currency will be replaced by a decentralized currency, what is government for if they cannot use their centralized power to govern the state. Crypto is created as an alternative to fiat, it's not created to replace fiat by any means because it will never happen.

2815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin transaction fee fixed? on: October 18, 2021, 08:14:33 AM
Not fixed at all as the fee depending on the network, if it's congested, you can increase your fee if you want the transaction to be confirmed in your estimated time.

However, seems things are different late (don't know the reason for sure) as I notice that the fees are pretty cheap compared to the last, the market is bullish, the same scenario in the past, but you can move bitcoin at a very cheap rate today, of course, you can refer to the https://mempool.space/ as your guide.
2816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ***BREAKING *** Bitcoin ETF is approved on: October 18, 2021, 07:31:06 AM
Back in the days when the market was still bearish, we were easily affected with the "ETF news", and mostly it's negative news and that's the reason why the market is down, but this time when we are not expecting it anymore but it's approved already, so it's understandable that the market will pump and it must probably the reason why bitcoin has a bounce-back close to its ATH.

In terms of effect, it will have a long-term positive effect while the hype is normal today.
2817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction says received but I did not receive it please help on: October 17, 2021, 09:38:22 PM
Do you have control of that wallet that owns the address? It doesn't look like a personal wallet of yours, as the poster above stated, it looks like an exchange wallet or maybe a gambling site wallet IMO. The transaction was processed and receive at the specific address you mentioned, but if you don't have access to that wallet then you'll not be able to receive it, and it's already been withdrawn.
2818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 17, 2021, 09:03:01 PM
If Gaballo was able to steal a win, it will be a big recognition to him, not just in the Philippines but for the whole world. He will increase his rankings and have a chance to fight those boxers on the top. Donaire will be more proud of him as a fellow Filipino.

I'm eyeing Donaire to win but the kid Gaballo should now start achieving good development in his career and one of the highlights should be, defeating Nonito Donaire.

If ever Gaballo will gonna win this fight against Donaire it will be a great boost to his boxing career though this man has already a good fight record from his boxing fight history however this fight with Donaire will be a breakthrough to his career. However thinking that even Donaire is older than Gaballo we can't deny that this fighter is considered as great fighter too so this would be a challenging fight for underdog.

Yes if Gaballo wins Donaire, its going to be 25th unbeaten win for him. But its going to be really challenging as the WBC champion Donaire is not an easy handler. Though he is bit aged, he has a good record of winning 41 matches out of 47.  Its going to be a lovely moment to watch Interim Champion Gaballo, the young player boxing with WBC belt champion Donaire. Lets see

It's always fun to watch Donaire as he is not a boring fight, Gaballo on the other hand is an aggressive fighter so this fight would guarantee us some real entertainment. However, since there's no release schedule for this fight, there's nothing we can do but wait until they will have an official announcement. For those who were not able to follow Gaballo's career in boxing, you can watch some highlights on youtube so you have an idea of how good this young fighter is.
2819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 17, 2021, 08:31:57 PM
Yeah, but what I see in this season's line up, Lebron will still be the alpha of the team no matter what. Even if there is Westbrook or Carmelo, it will still be Lebron who will lead the team. And as we can see, Westbrook or Carmelo already acknowledge it in public.

As compare to the previous Lakers of 12/13, all of them wanted to be the alpha and that's the reason maybe the team crumbles and never make it to the finals even if they look solid on papers.
Yes, absolutely, and I have no doubts about that!
LeBron is the best player to lead the team, we saw what he did in Miami and Cleveland.
He was still younger that time, and in Cleveland, he was hungry to win for the first team he ever played in the NBA.
It's a different scenario now as Lebron is not getting any younger, so he needs some big support from his fellow NBA superstar whom he is playing with now, most particularly from Westbrook.

Westbroook is an excellent player to cheer up his teammates and the crowd and give strength to the team, and Carmelo can also be something positive on the team, an experienced and skilled player.
If there's chemistry, there would be no problem, Westbrook has to show that he is ready to accept his new role, not the role back in OKC and Washington.
2820  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is easier? on: October 17, 2021, 01:04:10 PM
Waiting for the price to go down is more effective for me as long as the hype from the altcoin is still there, buying when it goes up with the hype obviously has a big risk if you don't have good emotions when the price is corrected too deeply.
The hype will not stay forever, we should understand that a bullish market is not gonna last forever, so even if the price will go down, it's not automatic that it will rise right away. Sometime in the past, I'm using the same strategy and I benefited from it for a short time, however, when I just continue to do the strategy without carefully evaluating the market, I end up a bag holder as I was hesitant to sell since I believe that I bought at dip already which I was wrong all along.
