2861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 15, 2021, 09:34:43 PM
@TravelMug. It is 2.00 for under 9.5 rounds. The odds are available and offered on Nitrogensports. I reckon they remain the best website for basic odds and offers.

In any case, Canelo is also training for under 9.5 rounds hehehe. This might become under 7.5 rounds when the fight nears. Caleb Plant will regret talking about his mother hehe.

https://youtu.be/R4lGsixTjoE

I'm gonna take that odds, this fight will not gonna go to the distance, Canelo is motivated to knockout Plant because of the disrespectful manners of Plant during the press conference. Actually, I have never seen Canelo this angry during the press conference in his previous fights, and guess what, he still dominate his opponent so most likely this is an exemption, he would dominate and KO his opponent early, 1-3 rounds is my prediction.

I´m a little more daring, I think that Canelo will knock out in the first 2 rounds, I think he will not reach the 3rd, the reason is the same why you think, that his lack of manners makes Canelo angry, and there is something that you cannot mix when you have a skill such as boxing, anger, if you fight with anger many times you do not measure the consequence of the damage that the blows will do, it is for that reason that many times some boxers die inside the ring due to a blow or contusion to the head.


I'm wondering what's the odds for that, we will not be able to get good odds if we bet on Canelo to win the entire fight but if we place a bet on per round, I'm sure it will be attractive enough for bettors to put some experiment on betting although it's hard to predict on what round Caleb will go down.

I hope somebody will not be triggered if we talk about Caleb going down as it's just a prediction and we place our bet based on our prediction, doesn't mean we are correct, it still depends on the outcome of the fight.

The need to learn technical analysis and fundamentals will certainly be very useful when you have to enter and you have to leave.
If you can't do the analysis, then you will have a hard time where to start and end.
During the several years you trade, of course, you learn how to trade well.
And definitely, our trades don't have a favorable result but often more on losses. And this can be seen when we have to do trading in real life and also to appreciate the usefulness of TA that most new traders don't have.

All decisions also depend on your psychology, if you want to get big profits, you must have a target that you really achieve, and that can be done by trading long term and determining what altcoins are good.
don't just log in when FOMO happens, it will only cost you.
We sometimes use our common instinct as well as the market needs to have such deep understanding otherwise we fall into a wrong decision. And base on my experience, it is very important to be patient all the time. Many had suffer losses as they have been influenced by their emotions and this is what we have to combat first before anything else.

Well, we have to expect some changes but it was unlikely to see Bitcoin will rule the world.
Fiat money will still widely use globally while Bitcoin is still a payment option. And might be possible that Bitcoin will even replace by another but not fiat. We saw that some big companies are adopting Bitcoin but this is not literally mean we are waving away to use fiat anymore. As long as not all transactions are accepting Bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies (offline transactions), we can hide the reality that fiat will still be in major use.

Now he has this "Retire" card. I don't even know why the Nets aren't trying to trade him. He is an egoistic player that doesn't want to vaccine for personal reasons. He'd rather lose huge amounts of money and not help his teammates just for the sake of him not being vaccinated. What kind of attitude is that?
 or will they just let Kyrie not play in their home games.
Yes, there's a hint of being selfish on this act that's unpleasing to everyone, the Nets management, the team and especially the fans.
Have he ever considered thinking about young fans that are looking forward to see him play? Those who idolizes him and even bought jerseys with his name and even the expensive shoes named after him. They are waiting and expecting a blast since 3 of the Nets stars will be healthy this season.

I think Irving should go back to Cleveland Cavaliers where he starts. He is good but he can never win a championship without the help of a player that has the same status as his, now, the Cleveland Cavaliers are struggling, maybe if he gets traded to this team, he can dictate what he like but he needs to prove that he is a good leader by bringing the team to the playoffs.

So what do we expect in game 6? Are we going to see another big win by SMB to tie the series, I guess this is getting so predictable and I don't want to go with the flow as this could be a trap, I'm thinking that TNT will finish the series and they'll win in 6 just like what Magnolia would do.

Why not, we did not expect that SMB would dominate the TNT in game 4, and after that win, we also did not expect that TNT would do the same to SMB. This series has been very unpredictable, just expect the unexpected because SMB will tie the series tomorrow and we will see a game 7.

Good luck SMB and its believers.  Smiley

The line is available early, looks like the bookies would like to entertain the bets early.

Still a similar line in the previous games, SMB is 1.98 vs TNT 1.80.
I think this tells something, if the line will not move, most likely the bookies believe that TNT would end the series tomorrow, however, if the line moves in favor of SMB, this means huge money is going for SMB and bookies has no choice but to adjust their line.

Want to bet early? https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/philippines/pba-philippine-cup/tropang-giga-vs-san-miguel-beermen-6167e4514d82dd7398d93c92

SMB is now 2.04, and suddenly, after a good performance of the Meralco in game 5, Magnolia now is -5.5. I can't believe on the line, looks like there's gonna be some rigging that is going to happen tomorrow, TNT and Magnolia will both win and they will play in the Finals.
2866  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which timeframe do you use for day trading? on: October 13, 2021, 03:10:30 PM
Before I start taking any new trades, I first do an analysis of the shorts and then take there is a time frame of 15-20 minutes for day trading. I think New trade is very positive during this period. It is better to take new trade by own research.

Depends on the strategy, but lower timeframes were a lot of false signals in my strategy, so first I'm going to check the higher timeframe for the trend, whether it's bearish or bullish, and then I'll check the lower timeframe to see where my possible entry points are. To be more successful in trading, I would say ride the trend or follow the trend because there is a high probability that you will win in your trade.
Honestly, I check all the timeframes available for further analysis and the most reliable TA to be made. Having them check won't consume much time, isn't it? We wanted to make everything will have our favor and so we do things that might help us. So, why not do it if this will gives a good result? Perhaps, most of the success stories of some traders spend more time on the market, and they gather all the possible basis for a better TA. Well, we know it was 100% sure but at least we are making it near to possibility by doing these simple taks.

Close game for Magnolia and Bolts, Maliksi's game was superb almost perfect on FG and must admit Bolts with semi-healthy Almazan, Magnolia could be in trouble. Series is tied now, and became more interesting now. Will Magnolia can comeback or Bolts with the momentum and confidence to outlast and upset Magnolia.

The Series is not tied yet, before the game today, the series score was 3-1 in favor of Magnolia, it was a close-out game but they were not able to make it happen. Meanwhile, it looks like we are seeing the opposite of what happened in game 4, TNT is not dominating with a huge lead.
2868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 13, 2021, 10:59:52 AM
They seem to have a problem, that's obvious.. They are -7.5 in this game and yet they can't win even if they don't have to cover the spread. Yes, the starters played a decent minutes that they might do the same in the regular season.

https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/boxscore/250464
Lebron James    26:09 minutes -    17 points
C. Anthony 24:40 minutes - 20 points
R. Westbrook 28:08 minutes -    10 points only ( he has to level up)
Yes, Coach Vogel will need to tweak some plays and strengthen their chemistry. Melo is doing great, he will surely give everything this year.
Westbrook though doesn't look like he is comfortable yet. Let's give it more time. He got used to being in control of everything and this is a big leap because now he is adjusting with Lebron with almost the same type of play.
Jordan Poole is the player of the game, I can see so much room for improvement. It's obvious he is growing from shouldering the team whenever Steph is out.

And that makes GSW still dangerous even without Klay because of Jordan Poole. Hopefully he can bring that on step further when the regular seasons start.

Yes, that's the trade mark of Coach Vogel, even in-game he will make some tweaks if he see some weakness in the chemistry of Lakers. I do agree with giving some time to WB, just one game at a time. We might be surprised to see him anchoring the offense for the Lakers and seeing a prime WB again.

Hopefully, it will be a different story in the regular season, Westbrook based on his numbers seems not really in synch, I mean, he used to deliver a triple-double in a game but now it looks like it's a different Westbrook what we are seeing now.

https://twitter.com/scottbudman/status/1446540818316070917

This is the surveillance video of the liquor store itself, showing how they stole it.

Maybe this will be the new trend for criminals, breaking and stealing Bitcoin ATM across US.

Hopefully the public can help identify this crooks.
I am not condoning those thieves or anything but at least we can say something about them, they got great taste Grin however this is to be expected, as the popularity of bitcoin increases and its value with it we are going to see more and more crimes related to bitcoin, now obviously they stole the ATM because of the cash, but imagine this, they got a choice of which one to steal and they stole the bitcoin ATM, so basically they believed it would have more cash than the regular ATM and I find that to be quite interesting.
And I hope they are happy with what they get from the inside of the ATM or it was just useless papers. They wrongly choose the ATM that never give them money and this kind of act will show how people are desperate to make money this time. This scenario will tell us that not all people already know about Bitcoin, how it use and its function. Because if these thieves know about it, they surely don't waste their time stealing it. They will choose the bank's ATM rather than this, which seems worthy to get imprisoned.

Decentralized finance (DeFi), Web 3.0, financial inclusion, the rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Axie Infinity success, Will the others be successful too?

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56371912.amp
If they want to succeed, that's a part of their plan but the developers never assume that investors will take that blindly if their project won't show such potentials. Not just because I don't invest NFT's tokens but as we can see that only a few of them are still alive and most are those gaming projects. Well, Axie Infinity has its success and it was clear to us of its higher demand but it was uncertain when we talk about long-term as it probably there is another crypto projects comes around similar to this just like it happens to ICO projects.

All the things are needed I think it has been said already but to ask you OP, are ready to face the consequences? If you're not, I think you should have to address this first before going to start trading. You can learn more if you trade more, what I mean is that we need more experience and possible losses before we fully understand trading. Yes, learning trading is costly, and be sure that you have the money that you never regret whatever happens.
2872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 11, 2021, 06:58:29 AM
Don't expect kind words from Wilder although he loses obviously in the fight and we know who is the better fighter.

He should put in principle the popular saying that is "Humble in Victory, Gracious in Defeat".
https://www.patriotaquatics.org/water-polo/humble-victory-gracious-defeat/

It's applicable in any sport and in any competition and that's a way of showing respect to the winner.
I guess with this kind of reply, Wilder might be mentally affected and will just choose to retire as no more chance to fight against Fury, the saga is over.
2873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 11, 2021, 06:10:33 AM
Is Westbrook really that bad for the chemistry of the Lakers? Is he rusty or is this all a trap for defenders to loosen their guard when the regular season starts.
Could it all be an act? What do you think?

According to the commentators in game Lebron even stretched out the possibility to increase their chemistry by organizing a special training camp in Las Vegas before the real training camp begin. It is said he did it before (2019) and they won the championship, that's why he is trying to repeat it. Sounds like a ritual to me.
But with what we witness today, it seems like it didn't work, yet.

Westbrook was a triple-double guy, we didn't see him produce that kind of stats so far with the Lakers. yes, it's just preseason but at least he could tally some decent numbers, not the total scores he made in the last 2 games. I hope if there is a special training camp it would help Westbrook to fit in, I think Lebron is not hard to play with as Davis already won a championship with the Lakers in his first year.
2874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why businesses should accept Bitcoin payment on: October 10, 2021, 10:24:09 PM
Yup that's the advantages of using bitcoin into business, because at the same time it's like you are investing your income as well. Or should i say double investment?  Grin indeed people nowadays love using digital currency when it comes paying bills or any stuff around the internet, wherein even in public places because of some business that adopted bitcoin as well , so its a good idea to put bitcoin into a business especially if it's a new business.
And yet, you can't get any assurance with that which is very unfortunate. Double investment, making it more prfitable? But what if the market turns to bear season? They are also in absolute big losses and this gives worries for the owners to take that knowing how volatile it is. And the other thing is that it wasn't yet officially legalize in all countries which could get attention to them unless if their government make it.
The use of Bitcoin has disadvantages and advantages. And offering such services is really at high risk and so I understand why until today only a few establishments are accepting this as another mode of payment.

Magnolia + SMB parlay = 3.168 (good odds for me as Magnolia will be a sure win in game 4)

Congrats! more beers to you Kabayan perfect timing for a rainy Sunday, SMB bounce back with the same strategy.

Everything went well, both inside and outside. Tau has his night towering inside a good working play for him and Fajardo, while
Romeo and Santos got a good shooting hand from the Arc. All the veterans contribute well today. If you see SMB playing like that, you will see how this series will end. Tied again and now they moving to the last three games.

And, Magnolia as expected, no Alamzan they've been abused by Sangalang and Abueva inside.

This series will end much earlier. The domination of Magnolia is far superior against the Bolts.

It was a lucky day for me, not a big win but winning a parlay is good as it does not come everyday. I'm looking forward to another win of SMB and I think they will break the trend in game 5 and they will beat the TNT to have a lead in the best of 7 series. I am sure that Magnolia will win and they win it easily although Meralco was able to close the gap in the 4th quarter it was not enough to complete a comeback.

The semi-finals series of SMB vs TNT is hard to predict now, after game 3, we thought that SMB would lose but we were surprised in game 4, they look like an old SMB and coach Leo Austria really made it a good adjustment making Tautua focus on the offense more. So what's gonna be the pick in game 5? Can anyone share their picks so I would be more confident to follow,  Grin
2876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FURY VS WILDER WHO YA GOT? #FuryWilder3 on: October 10, 2021, 11:54:36 AM
Just like what I predicted, Fury will KO Wilder but I didn't expect an almost close match since we also saw Fury goes on the floor even if its because of a slide. Though, many are still disappointed with Wilder because he performed very bad last night, swinging around like other boxer who used to run in the ring. Well, this might be his real strategy or what but we already have the result, and Fury is the winner.

Fury was asked after the fight if he was hurt when he got knocked down by Wilder and he said no. I think Fury can really take the power the Wilder and he gave Wilder a sleeping pill in the end.

What was the odds for Fury to KO wilder?

 I think it should be higher than +100, but those who took the -285, I think they are a bit worried when Fury went down but in the end the victory was very sweet.

Just like the other's replies, we shouldn't have to make it rush, don't believe those signal/paid groups, and much never think about easy money in trading coz you will just get frustrated. Everything has a sweet success when we work it hard.
Thus, if you have a plan to become or get into trading, never rely on others but rather rely on yourself. You can do a lot of searches online and that is no reason why we hired someone to teach us especially when it asks for money unless if that is your closest friend or a family member as we could still learn.
2878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 09, 2021, 09:05:29 PM

1.08 is worth betting because the chance of losing is very slim. You'd have to bet a big amount thought but consider the fight a bit free of risk because Canelo is still in his prime. The contenders he battled with before Plant are even closer to Canelo's level of skills but he overcome them. If for instance there will be an upset, it will also be a terrible loss.

The fight will still be next month, the odds will change when date approaches.

Well, I respect if you feel it's worth betting on that odds. of course, if you have a big amount of money, 8% return is very significant but for most bettors who do not have that, then maybe they will look for a different market with better odds. Betting on the over/under would give better odds IMO, but then, it depends on how you see the risk and reward, it's always the bettor's call in the end.

If he has that amount and willing to take that risk, we all know that there are possibilities is a two-way result even bookies bring that odd and the chances of winning are big for Alvarez. It will be concluded after the fight happened. Different gamblers have their different views about this kind of risk, some who happened to be a fan or more experienced gamblers understand what they are taking and they are willing to invest a huge amount of money to have a good slice of winning money.

No, I will not bet with just 1.08 odds but my word was for the rich people who are willing to just throw huge amounts only to win small while it's not totally risky. But for me who has only $15 extra a week to bet, I'd rather wait for a sports match that I know I can at least get 50% (1.50).  Thats why I said, the odds will change when the date is nearer.

If I can see at least 1.30 I might while I can almost assure myself Canelo will win and at the same time I can say $15 is just nothing if an upset happens.


Rich people who gamblers are smart as well, they will not put a bet when they think it's not worth to risk, and 1.08 may be attractive for some but for other rich gamblers, it may be too low for the return of their money. As a gambler, rich or not, all we want is to win and be satisfied, without achieving that, we will not enjoy gambling, so it's wise if we will just sit this one than forcing ourselves to bet when they are not confident enough
2879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 09, 2021, 08:39:31 PM
Betting odds are out already, take it early as it might move tomorrow.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/philippines/pba-philippine-cup/matches

TNT KaTropa - 1.80
San Miguel Beermen - 1.98

Magnolia Hotshots - 1.60
Meralco Bolts - 2.30

Magnolia + SMB parlay = 3.168 (good odds for me as Magnolia will be a sure win in game 4)

Looks very interesting parlay Kabayan, I also see that possibilities. SMB will do their best to tie this series while Magnolia will not let Bolts to regain the momentum and tie the series. Though it's only my opinion, Cojuangco group will bounce from that losses with their both franchise. Though right now I don't have any balance from my stake account,  Grin

Wish you GoodLuck! that parlay is sweet if you managed to win both games. Wink

Cojuangco group already has one team heading to the Finals, and that is the Magnolia as they are dominating the Bolts although they loss in game 3. No Almazan yet I guess, so Magnolia might make an adjustment again, and if refs are not against Magnolia tonight, they can easily beat the undermanned Meralco Bolts.

SMB vs TNT, I have doubt on this now, it's probably TNT will advance, so I don't want to get hype with what the fans are thinking now.
2880  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto will rival or replace fiat in 10 years? on: October 09, 2021, 02:08:35 PM
I have seen these type of approaches to crypto at all times, and yet for some reason people are mistaking them as rivals, and that is the biggest problem. Why do people think that fiat and crypto needs to rival each other, why can't they just be friends and go hand in hand. Sure crypto is a currency, but let's assume you live in USA, and there are people who own euro in USA as well, does that mean euro rivals usd?

Of course not, crypto is just another currency, there are 100+ different currencies in the world backed by governments, and crypto is just another one that adds on top of that. I do not think that one rivals the other and I believe crypto will just be something that everyone can use along with their fiat together.
And it was too sad that many were still not able to understand hence it was still clear the purpose of creating cryptocurrency. Definitely, it was not meant to be a rival, only just to happen that those people who use to pay online will use crypto as long as it was accepted but if not, fiat money would be at its work.
I think we have nothing to argue with this nor do people have to think this about a rival thing which in fact, it is not. Well, they work together in 10 years from now and people will use them both.
