Steph Curry massacred the Clippers in the 4th quarter after the technical foul and even made fun out of it.  Grin
Steve Ballmer should sue that referee because he lit the fire in Steph's game. Just kidding.  Cheesy The big difference was the defense. Curry even made 6 steals for the whole game.
This guy really surprises us more. Last time he made 2 blocks in a game. It just proves he never stops with just 3 pointers and doing his best to avoid being a liability on the defensive end.
Now Steve Kerr can focus on their offense more. If you all remember, they do a switch in defense before whenever someone forces to match up with Curry. It won't be the same anymore.


And this two teams are know for their defense that's why the score is low and it's under. I think a great player such as Curry always find a way to ignite the competitive fire in himself. And so Steve Ballmer is the one who did that and as you can see he hit those 3's again. I'm not sure if he hits 6 or 7 in this game, but it was enough to put the dagger on the Clippers heart. He also has some good assists as well. Next up is the game that probably everyone is anticipating, GSW vs P. Suns, I will take GSW with handicap against Phoenix.

Well, I guess most of us won this bet for GSW. I just added a little bit of spice making it -3.5.  Grin A good win at 2/3 since the overscore didn't hit but still profitable in the end. Thank you for the tip.

Lakers versus Pistons coming up.
Moneyline doesn't look profitable at all but putting handicaps may do. I think I will pass on this one as Lakers are inconsistent and will just savor my profits.


For all s**t and giggles, I put a +10.5 on Detroit on this game  Grin. I think the under will be also a good bet as this is going to be more of a defensive game. And going back to the history between the two about a couple weeks back, for sure this will be a physical game. I wanted to skip this game, however, I wasn't able to bet on the other 4 matches so I missed the easy win by GSW and the Milwaukee Bucks as they cover the handicap with more to spare.
2863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: November 29, 2021, 01:40:29 AM
I just saw this on Youtube and I'm very surprised Teofimo really believes that his son won the fight and that he claims they are the victim of the industry and even telling people that the world knows his son won the fight, he should fire his father he made Teofimo believe that he is superman and nothing can harm him, he and his son are delusional.

EXCLUSIVE Lopez Sr: BULL***T Loss vs Kambosos, Teofimo WON Every RD, Taylor NEXT!

I mean that really hurts right? They've been trash talking in the press conference and very confident that his son is going to knock out Kambosos in the first round. But look what happen, they are so boastful that it was his son who got knock down in the first round and after that it was really all Kambosos. So now he is listening to his promoter Bob Arum, who states on the media that Taylor is the next big thing for Lopez even before his fight with Kambosos. And for sure the rest of the 3 kings, Haney, Tank Davis, and Ryan Garcia are going to mock Lopez with his lost here if even Teo talks about this other champion in the 135 division.

But it will the worst stylistic match for Lopez, Josh Taylor is very technical fighter and I'm seeing the same results, maybe much worst if he is going to fight Taylor at his weight class. Of course this fight can easily be done and could involved huge money because they are both under the Top rank banner and that's why Arum is pushing for this fight to happen next year. It's better first for Lopez to take a easy fight first in either 135 or 140 before going for the belt again to at least gain his confident back because Kambosos took his soul in this fight.

History says bull trap.  Investors say multiyear bull run.  I think history will likely repeat itself, and maybe has already started ahead of time.  There's no doubt that Bitcoin and to a larger extent crypto is taking off and becoming a mainstream investment.  I have friends I've been trying to get into Bitcoin for over a decade that still have never owned a satoshi, but are now releasing their own NFT collections.  It's pretty crazy, but I'm not sure that any price model has other chains stealing Bitcoin's userbase priced into their models.  As much as I am a 4-year cycle guy, I'm beginning to have my doubts as to whether we'll see the famed $200K next month...  I'm not one to ever count Bitcoin out, but I will admit that my faith is beginning to be questioned. 

Who wouldn't question the price movement and the prediction at the end of this year? I mean everyone is talking about a 6 digit figure price for bitcoin this December and yet the price is still in the $50k'ish.

And to be able to move to the target $100k, we need to double it up which I doubt can happen in just 1 month alone. Otherwise if will be a bubble next year just like 2017 and waiting to be burst.
2865  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: November 28, 2021, 10:20:11 AM
The transition to a heavier division is always difficult, after all he is considered to be a very heavy puncher in his current division but at the heavier divisions this may not be true, so supposing this is the case then he will need to adjust his style and increase the rate at which he throws punches, which will leave him more open for attacks and we will see if his chin can take the increased strength of his opponents, all in all this seems like a good challenge for Canelo and it is going to be very interesting to see if Canelo can overcome it.

This will be a challenging fight for Canelo for sure even if he is considered as a heavy puncher in his current division moving to a heavier division is not that easy. Ilunga Makabu accept the offer smoothly and he is preparing for this fight with Canelo for he was also acknowledging that Canelo was one of the best fighter today. This would going to be an exciting fight to watch for, I am rooting for Canelo but I don't think so if a knock out win in favor of Canelo will going to happen, quite difficult to predict.

It will be an opportunity for Makabu to fight Canelo, I mean Alvarez is already a legend and if he retires for sure in years to come his name will come up as the fighter that Canelo faces in the CW and beat.  Smiley

Who knows, Canelo might still carry his power at this weight division because he will not need to diet and make the desired weight. All he has to do is eat a lot and maybe hit the gym for muscle and then train in the gym.

Glad I didn’t put a whole bunch of coin down on this Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat game. As a Bulls fan it’s been a bit difficult watching this game as most everyone is having a pretty poor shooting night. Luckily the Heats star player (and of course former Bull) Jimmy Butler isn’t having a great game himself.

It was really a close between between the Bulls and the Heat, 5 minutes left and a tie score. But then Vincent and Lowry make there three's but the Bulls still try to come back but Jimmy Butler hits crucial shots. He isn't having a great game, but he was very instrumental on the win because of his assists. So good win for the Heat at the road against a tough Bulls.

Looking for the Suns vs GSW on Dec 1, this is gonna be huge and it will be on Phoenix homecourt so they will have the advantage here.
2867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: November 28, 2021, 08:36:32 AM
So we have another upset here, Lol, I don't know but it seems the Lopez bandwagon is over now with this huge lost of his. Now, he has no more belts and they are thrown back to earth, both him and his father by the Australian.

Probably he will go and chase Loma next to get some money fights or move up in weight for Josh Taylor for another big payday. Now other champions are going to chase Kambosos next year.

And just like that, Djokovic Serbia's was upset by Germany in the Davis Cup.

Djokovic really try to salvage Serbia's win here, but they've lost in the doubles to Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in score of 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), it was really that close as you look at the score. Germany now advances vs Austria next.
2869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 27, 2021, 11:00:04 AM
Same here. Don't consider Butler as an easy opponent. Instead, take Butler as Casimero's challenge before going to the Finals against Inoue. I'm watching some of Butler's past winning matches and what I noticed is, he's lacking stamina when the fight is reaching Round 7 up. Casimero's stamina, as from what I observed, can last up to 12 rounds but he began showings signs of fatigue in Round 9 or 10 which is usual to any boxers.

Let's see how they will work on that in the actual fight.
Of course Casimero will have high chance to win this fight, literally stamina is very important for any sports including boxing. We already see many boxer got KO'ed due to exhaustion even he's very aggresive on the first 7 rounds, if he can't KO'ed Casimero he will lose. But yeah, the problem is Casimero love to play aggressive... he doesn't like to play more defensive. It will be toe to toe on the first 7 rounds.

And the fight might not even last 7 rounds, Lol. I think Casimero's stamina has been tested in his last fight wherein he has to chase Rigo for the whole fight. He try to be aggressive and uses a lot of endurance and yet he didn't get tired as we expected. But I would really love to see a toe to toe battle between the two. No more running like the Rigo fight and hopefully Butler is not that kind of fighter.
2870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tron could be next doge or ada? on: November 27, 2021, 10:09:45 AM
Tron is exceptionally old coin, still has a place to beat coin in crypto field. It is intensely utilized to diminish exchange expense conjointly for quick transactions.
It has many comparative qualities that doge or ada has. Indeed i think it has everything to Attain victory like others do but it still moo by its cost.
 So what do you think approximately this coin. It could have way better future like doge, ada? Or it'll be vanished with the stream of time?

As you have said, they have been in the game for so long, unfortunately though, during some of altcoins magical run last year and still this year, it seems that Tron has been left out for unknown reasons.

Coins like Doge, Ada as you mentioned have reached many milestones and new all time high in this bull run. But Tron was stagnated for a long time.

But I don't think they will just disappear or vanish, they will remain in the market and survived.
2871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata December 29 on: November 27, 2021, 09:28:09 AM

I hope so that playing on the home country, Murata somehow gained a boost. If only his previous fights have the same intensity and level as GGG, I can say that he has an edge to take GGG in a close bout but I don't see it that way.

Murata is against a monster. Want to see how he will deal at it and show the community what he got.

Boost from the fans, though personally I doubt that he can get closer to GGG as this monster knows how to use all his advantage, regarding to age gap, GGG still active and he will not allow that, he still got good stamina and the way he fight that close range fighting strategy he can use that to lock Murata and take a KO combo to knock him down.

Hopefully Murata will show something for the fans, just don't let GGG beat him in an easy way.

He is fighting in front of his pride to give something to the fans, let's wait and watch.. Cool Wink

We can also based a boxer based on his last performance, and so far GGG is still fighting hard at his age. Nevertheless, no one can fight father time, even the great Manny has fallen victim to it.

So if GGG gets old overnight, then maybe Murata has a chance, but if GGG continue to become of the best middleweight even at his age then for sure even if the fight is made in Japan, GGG will go for a KO.
2872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Ioka Dec 31 on: November 27, 2021, 08:45:03 AM
Ancajas has been defending his title for such a long time so I don't think he would just give it up that easy. I've seen how he defended his title during his previous fights and he was too aggressive which impressed lots of viewers. I'm sure that it will be a challenging match for Loka because Ancajas is well prepared for this.
He is touted to carry the Philippine flag after the retirement of Manny Pacquiao, although not as strong and quick as Pacquiao his style is enough to win more titles and this is one of the titles that he is going to win, Ancajas is one of the underrated boxers in the Philippines that has a world title and winning Ioka's version of the title will boost his reputation.

He should be the one to carry the torch already as he has been the champion for many years and has defended that belt many times. I would say that Ancajas is very fast as well, remember this is smaller weight class so boxers are very quick and agile.

If he will get more exposure in the US, for sure his reputation will be known. So far though the name that comes to mind in his division is still Estrada. So he needs to win this fight and chase Juan's two other belts in this division.

Craig Tiley, the head of the Australian Open called out Novak Djokovic and seemingly attempted to goad him into getting vaccinated against COVID-19 by saying the tennis star "will not want to miss" his shot at a record 21st Grand Slam.
Yeah, he has a good record in AO so it's really necessary for him to get the jab so that he can compete and probably have a good chance to win next year. I guess it's the right decision for him.


Is that him saying he'll get vaccinated though, or just the Australian Open people desperately trying to convince him to do it, because they want him to play there?
TBH given his personality and the way he is often so outspoken on these things, I would actually be quite surprised if he got the vaccine. Of course he will have a good chance of winning the Australian Open if he competes there, and achieving the record, but it's not like he won't be the favourite at every other slam as well.

We will see, it is open for interpretation from us tennis fans. So it's maybe just the Australian Open telling this to the media or Djokovic really shows intention to take the jab now because he wants to compete in the tournament and wants to win next year and achieve the record breaking. And maybe he knows that if he didn't complete here, chances are, the young gen might take over the next Grand slams, so he needs to take his chances  now and 'swallow his pride'.
2874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 26, 2021, 06:54:31 PM

That's a one-sided statement only, it's only coming from the camp of Casimero, we should also hear from the camp of Inoue confirming such information. I think it's too early to think of that, Casimero still has a job to finish, and he should not take Butler lightly as it could destroy his plan if he loses in his fight.

It would be clear for every boxing fans if both parties release a statement about this but since the fight of Casimero vs. Butler was not yet happen then I think having this kind of speculation is too early to assume, though maybe there might be some rumors but yeah Casimero has still a fight that needs to be focus and prioritize. He needs to win in this fight so he can secure a slot for an upcoming big fights like fighting Japanese fighters Inoue which every fan are waiting for.

Right, so let's talk about Casimero vs Butler and stop speculating for now for the future of Casimero's fight including Inoue, if the fight happens then good for us.

And I think Casimero has taken silence already because he has a new fighter in his plate that he don't want to underestimate as this his is mandatory. Lopez vs Kambosos has a lot of fanfare and George is the mandatory. So this mandatory fighters have a lot to prove as well and hopefully if won't sabotage the future fight of Casimero vs Inoue.

@Russlenat - that article might be outdated already, Casimero is no longer with MP promotions.

What Curry made more successful this season is because he is healthy, not only that, he also gets the support from his teammates, they are stepping up and they make the Warriors once again a tough team to beat, it's like the old Warriors who easily dominate their opponent, and take not, this team is still without Thompson, so expect a better team with Thompson but Curry would still lead the team as usual.
Damn true. The hardest part of all when you are playing a physical game, to keep yourself safe and at the same time be healthy to avoid injuries in practices or in game. That requires a lot of time in the gym and everyday stretches which others are lazy to do. Like me.  Grin

And I think it's more of his discipline, he is no longer the skinny kid with he first make it to the NBA. He has gain so much muscle that you can't just push him as compare to 3-5 years ago. So he can now dry more often score more basketball without getting the risk of injuries.

I think Jokic will still have a fighting chance for the MVP race if ever someone will step up his game and be a legit shooter. With that, his assist per game could go high giving him an opportunity to be on top again. No update regarding Jamal Murray yet so thinking that could help is out of the question.

It boils down to his team though, and with MPJ out Jokic will have to take all the offensive load and it might cause him some problems down the line and he should remain consistent too just like last year.
2876  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is recovering on: November 26, 2021, 09:38:03 AM
Bitcoin has made good progress today compared to last three days today Bitcoin almost touched $60k ($59,390) as a result we have seen decent progress in other altcoins as well. Either this is a breakout point wherein bitcoin will proceed towards new ATH or a bull trap but I don't think it would be a bull trap as market just went through correction phase. What's your opinion on bitcoin at the moment?

Maybe you spoke too soon as the price goes down again to it's support of $54k-$55k, so this might be a falls breakout that we are seeing, so probably a bull trap.

And with the way the price is going down, I might be bearish up to the end of the month. I'm just thinking that because we are in Thanksgiving, investors are selling, in any case, another good opportunity to get and buy cheap bitcoin at $54k.
2877  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: November 26, 2021, 09:08:19 AM
In the hourly and even daily charts, it seems the price really has no specific direction. It could go either up or down. This is exactly one of those times when you just have to buy or hodl and wait for a longer time frame. The lack of direction can only be found in the short term. If you zoom it out even a little you will see that the direction is really upward. Particularly now in the final quarter of 2021, I am still convinced that the general movement of Bitcoin's price is upward.

It's normal to se indecision using low time frame such as daily and below on this volatile market. Use longer time frame like weekly to have a general overview on the crypto market. According on weekly chart, Bitcoin is already turn in to bullish after printing a 2 consecutive solid red candle  for 2 weeks. We might experience a further downward movement on the following week until we reach strong support and bounce from there. 50K level is my best guess for this before we enter bullish market again on December.

No, $50,000 is too far down. Looking at the chart, I am seeing a very strong support at $55,000- $56,000. We have bounced from there a number of times already in the last week or two. So I cannot see why Bitcoin will fall down really hard at $50,000.

And also the price at this moment is already recovering a little. It is in fact approaching $60,000 already. It is hard to imagine why it will lose another round and start falling high again.

And now we are again in the support levels of $55k-$56k, so it was a falls break out that we've seen as the price almost touches $60k in the last 24 hours. Nevertheless, as you have said, we have a strong support, for now.

Not unless this support level crumbles because of selling pressure in the next day or two. Hopefully this will not be the case. But as we approach the weekends again, I think the price will remain in the sideway patterns. The best thing for us to do is what, or re-invest at this price and buy the dip.

Happy to see he decided to get the jab so we can enjoy his presence next year too. Would be astonishing if the worlds best tennis player decided to put his career on hold over such a reason.

Oh really? that's good news for his fans, and bad news for his competitor as for sure he will enter the AO to start the year.

Ok here is the article I've seen:

I took a bet when they are down by 12 if I remember correctly and it's still at -4.5. Risky but it's worth the bet as I trusted GSW will come back at the 2nd half and they did.
Same, can't believe how far they went down in the first half and the live moneyline went as high as 1.80 when the lead grew to 15+ but I only got in at 1.60 since I was waiting for my other tickets to get settled.

Good thing I manage to break even despite the number of upsets that happened today.

Good for you mate if you manage to break even, because as you have said, there are a lot of upsets today. The Bulls have a good lead and so I think that my bet is going for a good chance to win.

But when I check the score, I have to double check it as it was really a big win by the Rockets. Nevertheless, there are a lot of games, so we can still pick up from our losses. Only one anticipated is the GSW win, they are really unstoppable.

It appears this thread has reached 28 pages without knowing where to bet this or where to find the odds for this fight hehehe. Does anyone know where we can get odds for Donaire and Gaballo? Does anyone speculate that this might be another 1.10 for Donaire and 7.10 for Gaballo?

Reymart Gaballo might be very much underestimated by everyone. He is undefeated and he is only 25 years old, Donaire is 39. I am aware that Donaire won vs. Oubaali who was also undefeated, however, Oubaali is 35 years old with only 17 wins. Reymart has 24 wins.

I just checked sportsbet,io, yeah it is not listed yet. However, this fight is in December and we are still in November so a lot of days before the punters on any crypto sport bookies can make a decent odds for this fight.

Yes, for sure Donaire will be the favourite, but i'm not sure if it will be that 7.10 odds for him? Maybe around 5.00-6.00 as Gaballo is a champion too. So they also have to take that into account when listing the initial odds.
