Clippers won over Miami, it was tight in the end, but Clippers had been very good in middle quarters, while Miami won first and last
Bam, Lowry and Herro were the only one in Miami that very above 10 points, while LAC had five players above 10, and Paul to lead them with 27 points

good bet for me

Miami almost disappoints the Clippers, that 3 point play by Lowry close them up to threaten the Clippers.

Luckily, that last 3 point attempt by Robinson did not make it up. They almost lost that because of Jackson's turned over.

I was thinking that the game was already over since Clippers still leading by 86 points under 2 minutes but Heat didn't give it up,
maybe if Butler was playing, the outcome is different.

By the way, I saw from the replay, did Jackson hit Lowry after that steal? or Lowry just trying to bluff to get the ref attention?

If only they know how the team would work before the trade then they will not gonna make a mistake. Just like the Lakers when they thought they'll get better with Westbrook but the reality is they are not, their ranking is not what fans are expecting them to be. C Stan has been in different teams, he played with Northport, it doesn't work out as well, so most probably he is the problem.
Trade is to balance the team I guess and the management knows every risk of this one, since they are paying huge money just to make this kind of trade possible. If he is a good player, the can still perform but don't expect too much if you're the only top player because no one can lift the team up alone. I bellieve Northport is balanced team now, let's see if they can perform better as a team.

CStan is not the problem, when he still playing with the Beerman he contribute a lot, so with Northport, the team managed to increase their winnings

I'm not sure about the problem with Gin kings seems that there's an internal issue with the players and the management, they are not playing the

same after winning the first bubble. And with some key players who are also not healthy from last season. Maybe Brownlee will find the right way

to lead this team and bring the spirit back.
2803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: November 12, 2021, 04:42:28 PM
~snip~
Gaballo could introduce himself to the world if he wins in this match.
^ The chances that he could be a win is just a little and it is probably the odds are on the Donaire side.
I have felt that Gaballo will not able to win this fight since I know Donaire has been more experienced than Gaballo. However, I am baseless here when it comes to technical analysis because if luck is on Gaballo he could be able to introduce his name to the public.
Nevertheless, as I say, I don't want to guess and baseless point, let us see the fight if who will be gonna win.
His chance might be slim against Donaire, but he has to give his 100% in this fight. He respected Donaire and call him his idol. But when the bell rings, it's just the two of them and for sure he will fight to the 'death' because everything is on the line here. Because he knows if he win, then more fights for him in the future, means more money. And that's what most Filipinos are targeting, Manny Pacquiao did open the doors for them and many are trying to follow his footsteps, specially fame and glory and money.
But I hope they'll not follow Manny on being a politician as he was not doing well in that department especially now that he is aiming to be a president.

Focus on boxing and continue bringing glory to the country, these two fighters, whoever wins will surely bring honor to their next fight. It could be the biggest fight of Gaballo but for Donaire, it's not as he used to fight champions before, and honestly, I don't see anything special on Gaballo aside from his hard work in the ring.

Of course, only a few brave of them will follow Manny on being a politician.

I think majority of them first really wanted to get out of poverty by earning good money from boxing, which Pacquiao did. So I would say that they young breed of Filipino boxers like Gaballo might be looking at Manny and how he rose obscurity to being famous. From rags to riches story. And this is one thing that Gaballo might have advantage of Donaire in this fight, just saying.

That kind of inspiration that will gas up his determination to win against Donaire,

Gaballo knows that this opportunity is not always there for him, trying to beat someone who's already a well-known inside this sport,

something that really inspiring to keep yourself up and willing to do everything to face the challenge.

Fame and money. Both are important for each fighters, these two accompany each other to attract more inspiring boxers to do their best to

lift up and have that slice from this sport.

Looks like the bookies were wrong on making the odds between the Jazz and Pacers, they give too much handicap that even bettors do not have to worry about their bet since the Pacers beat the Jazz straight up. I don't know what could be the problem of the Jazz, looks like Clarkson and  Conley's numbers decline a lot this season.

We can see the numbers of the two and the stats don't lie.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/clarkjo01.html
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/conlemi01.html

Coach has to evaluate as Mitchell could not win alone, I like to see the Jazz good ball rotation that everyone is contributing as that makes them more unpredictable.

You are right, Jazz need to share the ball, Mitchel alone can't win the ball game, Clarkson, Conley and Ingles need to participate.

Unlike last season, where the rotation with all the players is really great, I understand that the center of their offense should be Mitchel but distributing

the ball is also what coach needs to focus. They can all make their own shots, but if they will rotate it and find the open man, the chance of making

high percentage shots are more possible.
2805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 11, 2021, 09:03:27 PM
^ He only said that because he beats Loma already. And if we go with that argument of his, then he is the best lightweight right? So no surprised about his statement and there are no respect there.

He should really give Loma a deserving rematch next year because thinking of jumping to 140 lbs division. At least we can settle all the arguments as who is the best lightweight.

Quite an interesting version, but these words can be like "glorifying yourself" as Lopez won against Lomanchenko, and maintaining interest in the rematch which can hardly be avoided. All participants in this match are interested in maximum public attention to this event. But if Lopez leaves this weight class without a rematch, it will look as tricky as possible  Cheesy

I agree, this is exactly what I read between the lines, he beat Loma and then tell everyone Loma can beat them all. I know that there is argument for triangle theory in boxing, but this statement seems to be the conception of his statement.

Lopez is very good boxers, maybe in the next 2-3 years he maybe the next great cash cow as he can move up to 140 lbs to 147. But there's always a question mark in his resume for now giving Loma a rematch.

Most of the fans are still interested if there's going to be a chance of seeing Lopez and Loma again inside the ring.

Personally, I can say that if there's  a good amount of money that will be involve, rematch may also be consider, Loma needs to win this fight with

a dominance performance, that way fans will continue the chased of calling for the rematch before Lopez move up to another weight division.

Money will talk, still worth to wait both fighters always intensified the fans, showcasing their skills value what viewers are paying for  Smiley
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 11, 2021, 06:27:41 PM
Well since Casimero is dreaming to have a big fight with Inoue or in Donaire of course he shouldn't have to take this upcoming game of him with butler that easy fight. Though Casimero has already proven his capability, his skills inside the ring but this time I believe that he needs to win this game probably a knock down win rate for a more big fight for his career in the following days. This Upcoming game enticing every boxing fans because of two big names involve in the same date, Casimero and Donaire fight in the same event.
He's going to take it seriously despite the pot isn't that much for him. It's part of his career and it's still another record for him. That's why if he plays this easy and unprepared, there might be no fight for any of the two next. He just has to let this pass, win this match against Butler then it's all up to him, his promoter, and as well as the opponent that they'll pick for him. We have an idea that he's more liking to have a match against Inoue.

There's no question that the pot money is very small. But that's been over now, Casimero knows that it is  mandated in the law of the WBO. So he can't complain about that.

What's important is that he has a chance to share his boxing skills again, beat his mandatory here in Butler, and then chase Inoue or Donaire next for him. He should move and understand that pot money is just one part of the equation for a bigger purse next fight.

What's waiting for him after winning this mandatory fight is far bigger for his career,

We all know that money is also important, but since it's mandated, he doesn't have any option but to take this challenge and be the best as he can,

afterwards, the next upcoming fights, once he takes this and win will give him another breakout for his career.

Not with the belt alone, but the money that will in stake. Casimero's win will entitle him to go with either Inoue or Donaire, a kind of money fight
plus a good addition to his title if he manages to win.

as like me, i never got opportunity to hold long term a coin because of my personal cost. a lot of people can't hold for this similar reason. but patience is the next important fact in holding. hold an easy untill you don’t need to cost all of your money in shortly. i think others no big difficulty to hold for long time.
It is actually situational because not all people are financially capable when it comes to finances which they could sustain themselves without the need of cashing out those investment that they had in idle.

If you do make it as a living then its really hard to get hold of your position and you would be forcibly to do on selling on particular short time.

Its up on someones choice though but in most cases this had been the common scenario or situation made up.

It's a choice to make, not easy, but if you have that determination and you are fully knowledgeable about the benefits that's waiting for your investment.

Holding can be done. It's about good knowledge and anticipation of how the market will proceed. There are people who manage to work it out

and enjoy all the fruits of their patience. Waiting and trying to be strong while sometimes you see yourself losing hope with your assets, but because

of trust, you do manage to hold and wait.

Knowing what type of league the PBA is for sure he will end up on that situation if he cannot produce the same number as before, SMB has a reputation that they didn't retain their players for good since they are so competitive organization and they do all just to make their team became more competitive and they can even move anyone if they see more better player which can help more to win the championship.


They have the money and all the resources that needed to make things happened, all players are hoping to be part of this franchise

even how good you are and how well you perform once opportunities knock on you. It's really hard to resist. Remember Terrence Romeo? He's starting

the spark playing with his pal Poguy These two were a good body outside the court, they already playing and jiving but when SMB give him the chance, he

did not hesitate to sign the contract. If I remember it, TNT buy his contract from Northport and all the perks were gone after the trade to SMB,

and rumors back then that B-League also eyeing for him but he choose still chooses SMB.

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat
Well, right now Nicola Jokic is suspended from 1 game, and Markieff Morris is injured on the neck, and I really wish for a fast recovery, and this should just stop from thereon.

Morris started it's dirty play first and Jokic just responds to it. As you can see that it's really intentional. Well too bad for both team, a game suspension and an injury. I hope everything will went fine it looks like the Nicola Jokic brother created an account just to reply to Morris.

NBA organization should act now and stop this childish social media exposures,

Players need to forgive and forget. They need to realize that the whole world is watching and following them. If they act more like this, those future aspirants will think that this kind of act is simply normal.

Gaining more fans also possible to gain more negativities, the eyes are always on you each time you'll do something, after this I hope no one
among the stars will do the same thing, not only that hard fouls which resulted in bad injury but most with the social media fights.
2810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 10, 2021, 02:07:00 PM
Hehe Morris acting like he was run over by a truck after giving a hard foul. He could have sent someone flying if it was someone smaller and not a bigger guy in Jokic. Call it cheap shot but I think what Jokic did was fine to send a message that he's not to be taken lightly. It would have been better if it was a push but Morris would have acted the same way.

That is something we normally see in the 90's era, but the difference is, they keep the intensity of the rivalry inside the court. Unlike what happened to this brothers who took the everything even in the social media. They kinda acting like kids quarreling in the social media lol.

However, I don't know why Jimmy Butler was so mad about it that he was willing to put his career on the line just to have a brawl with the whole Nuggets team lol.

Very funny, as Jimmy is not acting like a pro and trying to be the defender of the team. There's nothing wrong with how Jokic reacts as it's a normal

reaction when you got hit and act out from your patience. Not saying that it's okay, but Heat's management should control this guy to top acting like a gangster.

I used to remember him making some kind of social post that attracts followers' interest. That post with DWade wife, remember?

He again a talk of the social medias fans may see him as protector while other will see this as childish and unprofessional act.

Boxing is getting more on the money making side now instead of actually entertaining and making a good fight against players. With all the exhibition matches that involves either both amateur that has literally no background in boxing, professional and boxer wannabe, and retired boxer against an amateur. The matches are now just made for the sake of profit and not really focused on the core of the sports IMO which makes it boring to watch. These kind of matches are not for everyone since not all of us are fond of exhibition and undercad fights. I guess their target audience must be the fans of the players. I'm still wishing for a worth to watch fight despite all of these. After all, there could be unexpected turn of events during the match so we'll never know.

The sense of the game loses whenever this kind of exhibition bouts were scheduled to happen where those fighter that has been involve were not a professional boxer or even those fighter had never been through intensive training to condition the body and strength of the fighter. I mean I didn't mean that the boxing is not for them but the game is not also for everyone aiming to be involve in this kind of sports takes time and needed intensive trainig, this might only looks like that the bouts are just for the sake of money.
Nothing but money-making scheme where the promoters are using the known personalities' fame to attract viewers and fans' interest.

You are right in terms of this sport. It's not for everyone. There are many aspirants who are trying so hard just to get that
chance fighting and showcasing their talents. Who's until now is on the waiting list.

While this kind of fight has easily been settled and scheduled, I understand that it's on the promoters and viewers to
Entertained this fight for their enjoyment.  Wink

Sometimes I feel I know better than the coach by just watching my favorite game.

I guess it's human nature for a fan to think that we know the game very well because he put out interest in it.
As a gambler, I could put myself in the shoes of a player, a team, a coach, and even on the management, that's how deep my love for the sport I've been playing and that just makes me more satisfied with what I'm doing though honestly, I lose a significant amount sometimes.

Human nature as it is, most of the time, you are thinking that you know who should be playing inside. You are not trusting the coach

judgement, you are basing your assessment on the previous games a player had. Most of those gamblers have this kind in mind when they think

that the team are not performing, blaming the coach is always their reasons, sometimes, they wanted to replace the coach if it's possible being done. Grin
2813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 09, 2021, 03:41:04 PM
Looks like the Lakers are already exploring changes on their team after the slow start...  Rumors for the day have it looking as if they are on the hunt for a new head coach.  However, the fanbase on social media is being pretty loud that they don't think the head coach is the problem.  Lakers fans are starting to make a case that Russell Westbrook should be traded in order to fix the problems on the team.  Russell's contract likely keeps that from being a possibility, and the Lakers first approach Dame to see if he'd join the team, so unless Dame has had a change of heart and the Blazers are looking to bite the bullet to help him get where he wants to be, I think we'll be seeing Russell in a Lakers uniform possibly next year as well...  Personally, I think they'll get it figured out.  Carmelo is playing better than expected and Nunn hasn't even played yet while LeBron and AD have both been having the usual injury issues... 

The Lakers roster in general is the problem. Not only Westbrook, but the whole team is the problem.
There's a point that they're too lazy on the defense and sometimes too comfortable with their lead and their offense.
I don't see any team efforts for the Lakers.
Infact, I can't even remember how the Lakers were playing a good game. All of the games they completed, they struggle a lot whether they loss or win the game.
 
I don't know but the last time a team perform very well with Russell on the line-up was when he's in OKC with Harden and Durant.


My opinion is  the same, not just Russ, but the combination that playing inside the court seems to have a problem blending together,

If you can see all their games, you will notice that they are struggling.

Either the players are not following the system or coach doesn't have anything and just allowing his troops to play with their chosen style.

It's not the usual Lakers when they acquired Davis, even they struggle last season, but they've got a strong start. It so happened that both LeBron and AD got injured and unable to hold their chances to move forward.
2814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 09, 2021, 02:34:31 PM

Arwind is 40 years old already and they don't want that he will retire without any exchanges. Maybe that is the reason why they traded him.
Even Coach Austria admitted on one of the interviews that the so-called "Death 5" is aging already thus, they will make moves in the future whatever happens. This is one of the moves that he is saying. TNT is a strong team with a great coach and with how they've performed last Filipino Cup, I bet that they are still one of the picks in winning the championship coming this Governor's Cup.

SMB will always be one of the favorites to win a championship as they have the best player in the PBA which is JMF. He could be healthier next conference and he really needs that as there are imports that are more aggressive and more dominant, so if JMF's presence is felt, then SMB will be more successful next conference, and who knows, they would probably win a championship again.

If Fajardo's performance will increase this upcoming conference, the chance of winning the title is always there for SMB.

No doubts that even he is also aging and does have injuries, his presence still their being felt by their opponents, what else if he will perform the monstrous

performances that he always been known Roll Eyes He can dominate inside with his size and speed, we don't see him playing that much last all-Filipino but

Doesn't mean he can no longer bring that type of game. It's been inside him just the timing and the injury that cause him to slow thing out.

Therefore, before you invest anything in a project, you must always check it carefully. If the dev team is anonymous this increases the risk tremendously. It is best to invest only in projects where we can check the developers achievements and experience.
Don't trust a project that has an anonymous team. Before it's good to have this type of background just as satoshi nakamoto. But this time, the scammers are hiding on anonymity to scam people and that's no good for everyone. That's why for new projects, it's highly important that you get to know who are the developers of the project you're about to invest because if not, you have to make sure that you're good and fine with that project and you do it on your will.

Scammers use that as advantage to hide the real intention behind the project, since crypto is evolving it's better to know who are the developers.

Their reputation is very important, giving investors some breathing avoiding possible scam after the coin was being listed inside the market.

Unless you are willing to let got the amount that you will going to risk, supporting anonymous devs are very risky they can easily runaway

without any trace. Think more deeper before you take your actions.  Wink

For MVP candidate, never miss Caruso LOL! Well, tbh I guess on the likes of Durant, Jokic, Giannis, Curry, are in that race.

IMO, Durant should be in the top 1 now being a contender in the MVP race, he is very efficient and he can make at least 30 points per game without a problem. Giannis and Jokic, they are not so consistent yet, their teams struggles a bit but Durant keeps winning for his team and getting good numbers.

Yeah, who wouldn't missed Durant in the top 3 of the MVP race for this year? I don't think that Jokic can do back to back, his Denver Nuggets is not the same as last year.

As for Wiggins, he is still part of the GSW, not sure why the discussion of him being traded. His points might be down a bit from last year, but still the same Wiggins for me. It's that Jordan Poole is now the new player in GSW as the second best scorer.

Wiggins will take the shoe of Livingston, no longer the first option but very useful coming out from the bench.

With the way GSW is performing right now, with the comeback of Klay minutes for Wiggins will be limited, Poole is really showcasing his talent and together with all the sophomores, they are bringing good hype for the team.

Whoever coach Kerr is bringing inside the court, all are performing their respective role.

I know Wiggins is a scorer, but he needs to adjust and continue to help the team in whatever addition he can provide.

There are people who just want to dump their bag on you and they can spam your timeline with unending hype. Don't listen took them, focus on your bull market strategy as to not lose your hard earn bitcoin to them!

This becomes their strategy to make people think twice about what they have planned about what will happen in the future. This is a trial for everyone to be able to survive with all of it. you should take definite steps according to you and not be influenced by what people say.

Much safer to follow your own assessment and not how other thinks about the project.

If you failed to do your research, it's possible that you will lose your money. The opportunities to ride with the hypes is not always favorable. Most of the

time it leads investors to big losses. Without knowing the grounds on why the project is hyping, the risk of taking part in the wrong time is very possible to

happen, you have to work with your own understanding before placing your money on any prospect investment.
2818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Issue of fixed Matches on: November 08, 2021, 06:53:02 PM
The most likely way to find fixed matches comes probably from those that fixed the matches, people love to talk and brag about what they do and if they can fix an important match they will want to share that with someone.

Eventually this information reaches the wrong person and the authorities finally find out about it, however those are only suspicions, there are probably way more cases but since there is no direct evidence then this is something really difficult to prove, which is why we see a scandal every single time a case can in fact be proven and we find out a series of matches were fixed.

Some cases happened and being proven in a small league, I remember a basketball game where an obvious act of fixing the game was done.

The league organizer imposed removal of the players who are involved, permanently banned them from playing again in any teams that the league has,

It's really happening and if there's a deeper investigation probably even in much bigger sports, they will find a kind of activities that happening around.

But until now, we are not hearing any good or strong evidence that will bring someone out of this illegal business.

^Yes, took both of them and I guess wheelz1200 also won the overscore.  Wink

That's kind of like a freebie bet even if Siakam comes back. Nets just struggled at the first half and whoever bet at that time might have better profits than early birds.  Grin Because the 3rd quarter showed the difference in offensive power. 17 points Raptors versus 35 of Nets. That's just too far and it's difficult to come back from it.
That game I saw the old James Harden, if he will stay consistent then maybe the nets would really be a big threat this season even without Kyrie Irving. James Harden scored 28 points, got 10 rebounds and 8 assists, that's the kind of stats for a real NBA superstar.

He's starting to feel the needs of his team, no problem now even without Kyrie, Harden and KD are working together bringing the old comradely.

The chemistries are also great for the whole team they are working side by side, Nets is on a mission.

They are silently executing good plays and what Coach Nash is cooking really coming out perfectly.

I'm a bit skeptical of Canelo at first, but after this fight I'm convinced that he is just a tough mofo. Plant's physique looks intimidating, but Canelo keeps applying pressure, and moves forward. Iron chin, fantastic footwork, and powerful punches. It seems that no one can beat Canelo in the Middleweight division. However, I don't think he will move up to light heavyweight, but let's see. I'd like to see him defending his title over and over again.

I also don't see that possibilities, it's much better to him to keep fighting and defending his title on his weight,

No need to step up and make yourself uncomfortable, for sure their are many challengers that will ask to fight him and try to take his thrown.
More fight means mire money for him,  Wink

Let him enjoy his victory and wait if whatever plans he have for his career, future will be revealed in the right time.
