OP is one of the biggest bettors in stake, that's a million dollars wager so it's normal for him with a huge amount as well. For us who are not betting at his range, we should be inspired, we can always start small, who knows, we might increase our bankroll with consistent winning and we will achieve a big winning as OP had.

Congratulations OP, keep sharing as we rarely see that kind of wins here, at least we can prove to ourselves that nothing is impossible in sports betting.
2802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: December 06, 2021, 09:11:18 PM
Was a knockout artist 19 years ago. We do not know if he could box on a same level with professionals and still knockout them. In the past he could knockout everyone, right now he definitely could easily knockout a regular person.

He is not the same 19 years ago but his opponent now is not a professional boxer, or a boxer with a lot of boxing experience, so the advantage is still on him and I'll gladly put my bet on Mike Tyson to win here. I don't trust whatever strategy Logan Paul will use as he has not won a single fight in boxing.

I don't know if Tyson still do his routine the same as before but if not then there's a chance for Logan Paul to defeat him knowing that he is young and well trained for his upcoming show matches and even though this is only exhibition fight for sure we will have fun watching them knowing that tyson is back on the ring and fighting a young man who want to earn fame on this fight. I don't underestimate Paul for his past matches but let see how this fight end up.

I think the experience matters more than anything in this fight,

Whoever has the experience will win but there had been fights in the past where the experienced player lost.a
In any case i think tyson would've won easily.


If it's true that if no knockout the fight will be a draw, then most likely we will see Tyson declared as a winner if he cannot knockout Logan Paul.  I'm not sure what to expect here because this is just an exhibition fights, but clearly with Tyson's experience, he would beat Logan Paul without a question, but will he KO him?

If Brown is a good scorer, it will be harder for any team to play defense as most SMB stars are scorers.

The defense will collapse with both Romeo and Perez attacking, adding to that is the import whether he's a good shooter or an inside
game type of player.

Brandon Brown was listed with a height of 6'6 ft. With that height, he is already considered a big man in the league.

Playing with Fajardo or Manuel as a backup, SMB will have the most advantage over any of the team as no need for Brown to become a scoring machine as there are lots of options for SMB to score. SMB is again the favorite I believe to win the Governor's Cup title.

I hope some teams from below will now rise and emerge with the help of their import.

Thanks for that heads-up, considering that SMB also has Tau who can add the pain to their opponent inside.

We don't know which team from the lower class will step up this upcoming governor's cup. Maybe there's a surprise that will take place with the help of the import; the ball is round and if the chemistry works well, we never know if something great for the other team will take place.

More competitive game and not just those usual franchise to dominate will add more fun to this league. Wink Tongue

Great analysis but I would still go with the Ginebra with a proven import, just hoping we will see a more competitive conference since imports are back again. This is the time for the Ginebra Kings to bounce back after a bad conference, C. Stand should improve here now that he is not the main option to score, so let's see how Brownlee will make Ginebra better and beat other teams.
Of course, they are the favorites to win but @goinmerry is right, SMB is still a strong team, they have enough guys on the roster to play good defense especially Fajardo who can convert the paint and Moh with his strength to dominate inside. In terms of scorers, SMB has a lot to pull, Romeo and CJ alone could already provide good numbers.
2804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 06, 2021, 01:18:35 PM
My pick.

Game : TrailBlazers vs Clippers.

No Lillard for TrailBlazers so I'm expecting the same story on their last two games where they are heavily dominated by their opponents.

-Loss 31 points against the Spurs
-Loss 28 points against the Celtics.

So, not really expecting that they'll bounce back, instead, I expect the Clippers to bounce back after a loss against the Kings.

I have the Clippers -2.5 @1.93 against the TrailBlazers. Yeah, I think the Clippers will have to bounce back after their huge loss against the Kings. They've just beaten the Lakers in a tough match and then loss the next game.

And without Portland's top scorer, it will be hard for them to really phase as far as their offensive weapons is concern. CJ can't do it alone and they lack the support system right now.

I guess I have to follow you guys, I also don't feel that the Clippers are a good team than the Blazers. I remember, they beat the Blazers before this season and Lillard was even playing, so in this game where Lillard is out, I guess they'll still win, besides, they Clippers has a 2-1 record against the Blazers.

Last 3 games.

Ligan Paul is not a boxer.  He is a blogger.  At the same time, he is indeed a very successful and wealthy blogger.  He makes videos in which he offends celebrities (singers, actors, etc.). Nevertheless, Logan Paul performed very well in a duel with Floyd Mayweather.  It was a surprise for me ...
he is not a boxer but he knows how to box, the fight against Floyd was actually boring, that's my personal opinion only.. maybe some fans enjoy the fight but I find it boring. No winner since no one get KO in the fight, but if Floyd did his best, we would have seen a KO.

Mike Tyson is already old.  He is 55 years old.  Nevertheless, this is a legendary athlete.  Mike no longer has his former strength and agility.  

However, he has a lot of experience.  He can use various boxing pieces against Logan.  

I think the fight will be very interesting.
It will only be interesting if we will see Tyson beating Logan's ass. He is not a boxer while he fight with a legend, shame on this exhibition match if Mike Tyson would not win.
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 06, 2021, 11:26:34 AM
One thing that really impressed me during the Warriors Suns game was how Wiggins did the "Penny move" on CP3 for an easy bucket.  There's lots of videos circling around the internet showing that Wiggins actually uses this move somewhat frequently, which is interesting because I just read an article last week about how the "Penny move" hasn't been done in the NBA in decades...  Wiggins to me seems to finally be living up to his hype when he came into the league.  I think he's still going to get better and will be a major part of the Warriors postseason run.
I saw that too and bro it gave me the chills. I mean, CP3 is not a bad defender but the space Wiggins gained was a lot after doing "the move". He does it a lot of times but this is the first time it was highlighted because it almost looked like an ankle breaker even though it's not really a crossover.
Penny move? As in Anfernee Hardaway move?
Wiggins is still growing and he might have fallen into good hands with the Warriors player development team.

Yes, not many may not know this move, but Penny Hardaway started this move in the 90's. Not sure though how Wiggins thought of this move because he has been pulling this against Lebron as well.

As for the weight issues of Zion, I think with the proper diet, he can still go back and play even with that added weight. I mean the kid is a freak of nature, he can carry his body and move like a point guard and can still leap and tower over anyone. And it really help him out when doing isolation play in the post because it's hard to guard him one on one with that weight like Shaq during his time.

Exactly, his weight was never an issue, his stats would clearly prove that.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/willizi01.html

As you can see his PPG average was only 22.5 in 2019-2020 and it has improved to 27.0 in the previous season.

he is very talented, he is even almost unstoppable inside, so he can maintain his weight if he is effective on it.
I just hope he will be back soon, it's a pain in the eyes seeing the Pelicans struggling.
2807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Ioka Dec 31 on: December 06, 2021, 07:28:55 AM

This is indeed what Ancajas is looking for
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/812331/jerwin-ancajas-vs-kazuto-ioka-unification-set-for-december-31/story/%3famp. He needs more exposure and needs more fight for him to prove his worth.
For me, even with the Filipino boxing fans, he's still underrated. I hope Ancajas will finish this fight in a devastating fashion.

A kind of exposure that most fighters wanted to grab. If he will win this one in a devastating fashion, it will manifest good write-ups for him.

Social media is the best place to keep your chance to be known worldwide,
sad true that even in his own county, he's not on the top list.

There are many fighters who already in this sport who created and established their names,
time for Ancajas to add his own.

Ancajas needs to seek some advice from Casimero on how to be popular, maybe he can teach him how to do some trash talking just to get the attention of the public, lol.. Pacquiao is not a trash talker but he is very popular, that's because he dominates and he is not afraid to fight anyone, instead, he knock out all of them.
He doesn't need to do that, he has to stick with his style and continue winning, eventually, his popularity will grow and he will get big fights.
If there's a good strategy to follow, that is going up in weight as more money is waiting in a heavier division, but he has to make sure he can bring the power and speed going up, just like Manny.

This unification fight is his chance to prove to the world, Ioka is a champion as well, so this should be a great fight to watch.
Asian boxers are good, these two are good but we are and we have to be biased supporting our fighters as they bring honor to our country. This isn't only entertainment where they make money, but the success of the Filipino boxers will increase the popularity of our boxers and would get good promoters.

The Schedule of games is already out. Venue is at Ynares Arena- Pasig City, no MOA yet. Smiley

We have 2 games for the opening day, which would be this coming Wednesday, better get your bankroll ready as the new conference will start soon.


https://www.pba.ph/schedule

Finally! This week will be a great one, its good to see them again and hopefully live audience become more possible. Getting ready for some bets after analyzing on the team and players, looks like the crowd favorite here are those top teams. Let’s see if NLEX will be a good team as well on this governors cup.

SMB will be the favorites in the late game, not sure about the Alaska vs Northport game. I will maybe just put my bet live as I have no idea yet how these imports will play, live betting for me gives a clear picture when I'm not yet confident with the team's import.

We will find out the betting odds by tomorrow evening since the odds are usually available a day before the game. I know this season the imports will be more highlighted but I also like to see some local players improving their stats especially Fajardo who has not come back to his old self yet. I believe it's the show for the imports and big man in the PBA, so names like JMF, Slaughter, Japeth, and C. Stand will probably shine.
Exactly, but my strategy is very simple, I would bet on the underdog team since it's too early to determine which team is better. Since it mostly depends on the performance of the import, then even a weak team would be better with a good import, it's a gamble but I will certainly like the odds.
2809  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: December 05, 2021, 09:35:19 PM
These are the champions that Canelo will have to face if he stays at Cruiserweight class.

https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Category:World_Champions_By_Weight_Class#Cruiserweight_.28200_lbs.2C_90.7_kg.2C_14_st_4_lbs.29



These are big and powerful boxers, if he will reign here then probably that's another history for him.
It is going to be very interesting what happens in the cruiserweight category now that Canelo is in it, most of those champions are going to want to have the chance to fight him so they can earn a lot of money but they could be giving away their belts in the process, if Canelo dominates this division as well all what will be left for him will be try to fight in the heavyweight division, even if not long ago Canelo insisted that was not part of his plans.
I would not say that Canelo will dominate, too early for that, he is only trying to fight his first attempt in this heavier division, so let's see first how he will perform as heavy fighters are not easy to knockdown, and usually, the one that is going up will struggle that's why only a few boxers succeeded in doing that.

That's is his advantage, is punching power because he is the bigger guy, but Canelo has been in many battles and he has a tough chin and strong body, so he will surely survive and win this fight. I'm so sure but I'm still open of a possibility of upset as Canelo is so hype now that fans think he is almost unbeatable.

Their team may be biting what they can chew, but this is boxing great boxers never know their limitation until they tested themself, that is why we have Manny Pacquiao an eight-division world champion, and Canelo has a lot to offer and he wants to extend himself, forget the cherry-picking thing he wants to fight champions to add more titles and prestige to his name, he knows he is not young forever and wants to accomplish a lot.

Canelo needs to move in weight if he wants to be at least near Manny Pacquiao's achievement as the only 8th division world champion. This is another step for him and if he will win and be a champion in a higher division then that would be so exciting, however, with his height, I doubt he will dominate.

for those who are not aware of the division in boxing, here are the list.

^^ Tyson losing or if this fight ends in draw could be a scam itself.

Again as I have said before, they have done it before when the judges score a draw in the fight of Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. For me Tyson clearly won that fight and he was the favorite that time. And the only winner is the sport bookies, and that's why I'm going to skip this exhibition match for good because of that sad experience of this fight being rigged.

If there 's an odds for a draw, bettors could also win as normally the odds for a draw is high. Whoever wins or if it will result in a draw, the bookies would always win since they facilitate bets only for bets in different markets. This exhibition fight could be easily rigged so we can always consider this factor in choosing a bet, we just need to be right to win, as simple as that.

Actually, if Tyson would not want a draw, he should KO Logan Paul Paul, and for sure no way the refs or the judgest can rig the fight.

Bulls vs Hornets.

I'm not sure if Lavine will play, he is listed as questionable now.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/2135543/zach-lavine/
Quote
Bulls' Zach LaVine: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire  1 HR AGO
LaVine (illness) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Hornets.

LaVine landed on the injury report Monday morning with a non-COVID illness. The late addition suggests his status against the Hornets is very much in doubt, so if he is unable to play, then Alex Caruso, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu will all likely see increased roles against Charlotte.

Maybe I'll just wait until game time to know if he will play or not, but I still have a feeling that the Bulls will get this win even without him but i will not confirm yet, I'll wait a bit.

I'll wait for the announcement, not betting without Lavine as I don't know who would fill his production.

We will see a battle of Ball brothers in this game, so it should be fun to watch but really, Bulls need to have Lavine so I will be confident in betting on this team.

Yes, donaire is on the brink of retirement but hanging out his gloves on a manner ends up on a win or a good looking one rather than on a loss.I could say that he has still something to prove out and thats what makes for Gaballo to be a tough challenge even on how hungry he is for some new record.
I think Donaire would retire after he loses in the hand of a real champion, probably not Gaballo because he is just a challenger, and with the kind of victory Donaire had in his last fight, I will never doubt that he could win this fight easily.

Terrible news for Denver fans. Michael Porter Jr is having season ending back surgery. I was saying a few weeks ago this was going to be his breakout season, but much like his career so far, that will be ended by injury. A shame. Michael Porter Jr probably could have been a top 3 NBA player had he stayed healthy, but at this point it’s beginning to look like that day will never come.
I feel bad for him, maybe that was the reason for his struggle this season. Anyway, I hope he will be able to come back strong because I believe he is still young and he can do that, it's also painful for the Denver Nuggets because he was just extended with a huge contract this year and that happened.

So do you have picks to share on the games tomorrow? Bulls vs Charlotte looks like a good game to bet on for me, of course, I'll bet on the Bulls.

The bulls lose their last game against the Heat, they'll win this game for sure. Take the spread of -5.5, they should cover it as the Charlotte are probably affected by fatigue playing games with little rest only, it's their 2nd road trip, they lose their first against the Rockets.

I know that most of us here are talking about the Game Fixing and I just want to share this news.
One Sports, a page on Facebook posted that there is already a schedule into when the Governor's Cup will start. It will start on December 8 2021.

In addition to it, Comm. Willie is trying to communicate with the LGUs on hoping that they will allow spectators or audiences to watch the games in person. Well, this is a good news for PBA fans including me Cheesy.

With the alert system of most of the places in our country in Level 2, I think that they will allow 50% of the total capacity of the stadium but with the new variant of the virus that has been discovered which is the Omicron variant this might change and the worst scenario is that PBA will return to bubble again once this variant will come to our country. We know for a fact that this variant will come. Its just a matter of when. I just hope that even though this variant will be in our country, the Governor's Cup will still continue.
We’re on a good alert level but since there’s a new covid variant this may prevent the government from allowing live audience, let’s just hope that this new variant is not that strong compare to delta variant so we can have a good holidays and a good basketball conference. So next week is the start of the Governord cup, I think there’s no time left to apply for approval of live audience, its better for now to have a good live telecast so people can still watch the game on a good quality.
There's no problem with live telecast as they are delivering that to us, we can see the live games on TV5, PBA Rush, and on their facebook live streaming. I just missed the youtube live streaming, I hope they'll make that up again as it's easier to watch it compared to facebook like, and with good quality as well.

For boxing fans POV, Tommy has the edge over Jake as he has been fighting for professional matches. Though with little experience but sure he has more experience and training than Jake do. But then again, this is an exhibition match lol.
Yes it is, and we never know if they already agreed on what to do in the right because this fight is not regulated by a sports commission, its main intention is just to generate money by giving the entertainment we are expecting, but if it will favor Jake Paul to win, he will clearly win this despite Fury is the favorites to win.
2819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: November 29, 2021, 12:05:19 PM
Due to that, the advantage has been seen by people like Logan because there are a lot of fans that are also following these type of matches because it's fun.

Logan Paul also has a lot of fans but on his youtube channel only, currently at over 23 million, so that would already given us a picture that the fight could sell since he has millions of follows that maybe a certain percentage will at least buy the PPV or watch the fight live.

On the other hand, Mike Tyson is always a legend, everyone knows him, so this fight is like a blockbuster fight/

The Warriors are really an unstoppable force.

Steph is playing out of his mind and making everyone around him so much better than they otherwise would be.

Wiggins has found a new life to revive his #1 pick career, and Jordan Poole seems like Michael Jordan out there. They are a serious contender.

Speaking of the GSW and some amazing performances. The Suns and GSW, two of the best performing team this season will clash on Thursday.
The Suns is on a 16-game winning streak. This could be interesting. If the GSW breaks the Phoenix Sun's winning streak, they could be the most dominant team in the West this season.
Nothing comes closer to these two teams so far early in this season.
Very interesting on how the bookies will set the spread and +/-.

That's a good one, the day after tomorrow we will see them clash. No odds for now yet but the Suns are playing at home so most likely they will be listed as the favorites to win. I'm not sure which team will win but I like the Warriors to give the Suns a hard time and stop their win streak.

According to https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba-game/golden-state-warriors-phoenix-suns/109517.

The odds are 50/50, so it's not hard to find which team to bet.
I'm sure most of the bettors would go for the Warriors but we cannot discount the greatness of the Suns as they are in a long win streak and they'll try to continue to make it alive and try to beat the Warriors. May the best team wins, but we should choose the team that we like to win, that's the fun in betting.
