2861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Arbitration judge orders Fury vs Wilder 3rd fight on: May 21, 2021, 05:32:54 AM
ESPN is reporting that Wilder and Fury have come to a verbal agreement and they will fight on July 24 or August 14 in Las Vegas. I think out of Fury and Joshua, Fury will have the tougher matchup against Wilder than Joshua against Usyk. Joshua might not have the best chin but Usyk is a natural cruiserweight and I don't see him being able to hurt AJ.
It's a verbal agreement, it's nice if it will be in writing, but I guess this is already a done deal since the last contract it was stipulated that there's a rematch IIRC. Good fight I can say, Fury vs Wilder or Fury vs Joshua, either of this match up, it's expected it's an explosive fight.

Indeed.  I don't think many people will be betting on the Suns.  I don't think they have much of a chance at all unless Booker has an amazing shooting night and the rebound gods are shining on DeAndre Ayton.  Otherwise, the Lakers are just too big with too many good shooters, and they happen to have the best player in the world.  I think in the end it will come down to the Suns not having enough talent on the bench or enough size in the starting lineup.

I am hoping Westbrook is able to make it to the playoffs this year with a win today.  Not sure if I'll watch or not because, Indiana...  Pulling for Russ though.

At first i didn't believe you but i just checked it and Lakers are really favorites. Personally I think this is huge bookmakers' mistake and they will lose ton of money.

Can you enlighten us on why the Odds between the Lakers and Suns are a huge mistake? And why the bookmaker will take its toll of lossing tons of money because of this action? How was that possible?
If you're an NBA fan, you won't need to bother yourself checking the odds If it's correct or not because everyone knew who's the real underdogs between the Lakers and Suns.

In case you forget, the Lakers are the defending champs and they just added a strong center in Andre Drummond, the 6th man of the year Harell, and the second nominated as the 6th man of the year Schröder.

You know what's a huge mistake a bookmaker will make? Turning the odds around.  Cheesy


Bookmakers are not perfect but they often make mistakes as there's big money on the line.

Lakers are favorites to win in the series because overall they are the better team and the defending champion, at least that's what people think because if we based on the performance this season, it should be the Suns.

it's okay, odds are just here for us to bet, it doesn't really tell which team will win or lose.

Very possible but the trace is still possible to track them up, all the transactions can be opened,

once the request already granted the bank can disclose those information, if the investigating group are really keen in finding those
individuals to punished and to break this illigal activities there are many ways in doing it.
The thing is, there are also influencial people or people who can pay more to cool this issue and eventually kill those news about it.
Depends how smart and crafty both the launderer and the AML team is going to be brcause if the launderer is smarter than the other team, they will probably get off scot free, remember that our laws regarding AML is really archaic for current standards so there are loopholes that the launderers can use to get away.

It will not go to the bank if a person who is into this illegal activity cannot explain the wealth. Launderers are financially capable, they have legit business to justify their cash inflows and outflows, so if one just purely rigged the game to make big money, it's stupid to put it in the bank as that would only give him trouble.

We have to understand first the meaning of money laundering... For a basic definition, it's cleaning dirty money that's why they use the word "launder".. Banks and other financial institution are directed to report to the Anti Money Laundering Agency, and they just cooperate, so a criminal who doesn't have enough knowledge about this can easily be caught.

I saw that news when it came out and this basically means that we are going to get a third fight between Fury and Wilder, I will see it of course as I am a fan of boxing but there is not going to be any hype on my part as I do not think Wilder has the necessary skills to pull an upset against Fury, so once gain promoters found a way to kill excitement for the biggest fight of the year and we do not have any idea when the fight will happen.
We've seen this drama on how it did end up on Wilder and surprisingly they do able to find out some way to make this Trilogy to happen which is way too unexpected.
Im dying to see on how Fury would end up this drama and move on ahead and fight AJ. Im not that interested with Wilder anymore but it somehow needs
to be settled for good.

Well, as both fighters would love to do that, the fans are more than excited to see their rivals end soon. It's gonna be another great fighter that could result in a KO, Fury here will be aggressive again and I don't know how Wilder will fight that he has never faced a fighter as aggressive as Fury.

Wilder speaks too much, he is now given an opportunity to speak again, but this time please speak out in the ring.
Make this a fight that fans will never forget.

Then thank the Gods for panic sellers because they make people like me get more profit from hodling for the long-term. I don't get how they are easily panicking over a news that never should get this big but there they are running with their tails in front.
You should rejoice as the market is giving you more opportunity to invest as the market is below $43k after a very long time and i would like to know what will be your entry point. I am of the belief that i am not too confident in investing at this price until the market settles down and there is no way i could predict when these institutional investors will dump their coins.
They had already dumped, the reason that we have witnessed a heavy dump which bitcoin reaches $30k in the past 24 hours. We don't know they will dump but it's pretty obvious, however, it's just a speculation for me as we all know how difficult to predict this market, it's just so very unpredictable.

Let's wait and see if bitcoin will again rise at $50k, but OP is wrong that bitcoin will never fall below $50k again as it even fall in just 24 hours to a very low price this year, and people panic.
2866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 20, 2021, 06:13:50 AM
I thought everyone was crazy thinking the Warriors will win this game but after that first quarter I had my doubts on if the Lakers could pull it off. LeBron James came through at the end though with the clutch three right in Stephen Curry’s face for the win. You could see Steph say some thing as he jumped to block the shot but I guess only him and LeBron will know what it was.
Well, whatever it was, we just have to be happy we saw a very exciting game. I lose my bet because I bet on the Warriors when they were up, I have a friend who took my bet ML when the Warriors was up 8 points, so I took it but I was wrong because it was just a trap.  Sad

Lebron is struggling a bit in the game, his big shot was the winning shot and he is still the man at the end.
2867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 20, 2021, 05:49:41 AM
Awful execution, a desperation three by Lebron as the shot clock expires and that changes the game and the Lakers got the victory because of that. BANG!!!!!!!. Very unbelievable Cheesy. Congrats to them.

Lakers are officially in the playoffs right now while the Warriors will face the Grizzlies for the 8th seed. Warriors are leading by 13 during the halftime but because of the turnovers of Warriors, it let the lead disappear. Now the Lakers will be facing the Suns in the playoffs Smiley.
Yeah, that's a huge shot considering how bad his eyes hurt from his flop.  Grin
NBA players are turning Hollywood next year. A lot of acting jobs happened and Mathews also joining the club by selling an offensive foul against Draymond Green.
Lakers win, not a bad game for the Warriors.
They fought hard defending big guys like AD and Drummond. Too bad Steve Kerr was not heard by the referee earlier calling for a timeout. If they had a little more time then it could go for overtime.

I thought it was for the Warriors, but it's a good comeback by the LA Lakers, they dominated the 2nd half. The lack of players for the Warriors made them suffer, they only played few guys unlike the Lakers where they have a good rotation, but still credit to the coaching, they almost beat the defending champ.

If Lakers played like that against the Suns or the Jazz, I think they'll lose.
2868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 19, 2021, 09:49:31 PM

As i've said before, Casimero have different style than Donaire. The latter is more of a counter puncher while the former is an aggressive fighter that he will take the fight to his opponent. Rigo will be overwhelm by Casimero when bell rings as he eager to prove to his fans that Rigo will not derail his path to a big fight with the Monster.

That's correct, the style of Donaire is very simple, knock his opponent out and he will win.
I saw some of his fights that he struggles, his fight against Walters is one good example, he hit Walters good but he cannot knock him out so instead, Walters knocks him badly. Another good example was his fight with Inoue, he also has some good rounds but he cannot take down Inoue so in the later round he suffers the power of Inoue.
When it comes to counter punching then Donaire does have it but it do honestly lack out power even though his KO percentage is sitting on >50% but still not really that a hard puncher
that can finish off but i do really appreciate when it comes to stamina.In regards with Casimero where they do have difference in fighting style which a bit more aggresive but can
really handle it out till the end, a little more work on his footwork then all things would be set.

Casimero will keep improving himself and he will keep beating champions. What I like about him is his passion in sports, he does talk a lot, that's given, but if we see him in the ring, we will be confident that he will win as he has a good IQ and he can intimidate any opponent.

He is no undefeated like other fights, but he is having a good run, and that's something a gambler is hard to go against as the chance of us winning if we do is very slim.
2869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 19, 2021, 09:37:10 PM
I like the enthusiasm about the Lakers - Warriors game but before it there is the Grizzlies - Spurs. In the three games between them the winner was the away team. Considering the fact that throughout the year San Antonio has better away record than at home could they steal it and end the season for Memphis. Spurs definitely is the team with more experienced players but Grizzlies look in better shape. I am wondering what to pick - Spurs money line or Over 218 points. Probably the second.. What do you think?
You said it already, if you value the experience a lot in this game, then take the Spurs.
What I don't like about the Spurs this season is that they are so unpredictable, but it's playoff time so they might play better compared to the regular season.

They are the underdog here, but I believe they could win and upset the Grizzlies, so it's okay to take the Spurs.

Just my personal opinion dude, I'm not an expert but I like the Spurs odds here.

Easy call, but what's your basis? hehe.

of course, mate bitcoin will continue to dump, it's the bearish sentiment we will witness in the following days, and it's even possible that bitcoin will fall below $30k like what we almost witness today.

It's a crazy dump, some people called it super dip.. but how low it will go?
2871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run is over? on: May 19, 2021, 02:03:58 PM
I think I already saw this scenario where bitcoin struggle to get back to the price it has previously him.
Just Bitcoin get back to $50k but it didn't stay long, so I guess the trend now is already bearish, or this is just a temporary and short term correction?

Also, as we can see, altcoins are pretty much affected, most of the coins in the top 100 of the CMC has been significantly affected, most of them are reddish at the moment. 

We can see the coins (https://coinmarketcap.com/_
actually you have created the thread so early mate because back in febuary the Bullrun continues and make it thru multiple ATH ,
But if you are talking about this time then yeah you maybe correct because the Bullrun seems to be dying and the market comes Bloody whole time.


Yes, you are right, my prediction was wrong at that time and it looks like this time it's really the end of the bull run.
Bitcoin almost dumps below $30k, I was watching the going down, a good thing it has slowly recovered and back at $35k  now, but I'm still not certain if it will really bounce back, I will just continue to observe and let's see what's next.

Exciting times coming ahead, time to buy, and time to accumulate cheap BTC.

This might affect our betting on the Pacers vs Hornets game:

Pacers swingman Caris LeVert to miss Play-In game vs. Hornets.

And this one as well:

Quote
Indiana Pacers
@Pacers
·
4h
Injury Report:

Brogdon - Questionable (right hamstring)
A. Holiday - Questionable (right toe)
Lamb - Out (left knee)
LeVert - Out (health & safety protocols)
Sabonis - Questionable (left quad)
Sumner - Questionable (left knee)
Turner - Out (right toe)
Warren - Out (left foot)

https://twitter.com/Pacers/status/1394708521766301696

+1.5 for Hornets might be a good bet currently @1.93 in sportsbet.

Lol, it seems that the announcement from Pacers is a trap, they won by a large margin and Sabonis and Brogdon played and lead the team. High scoring game.

So good win for the Pacers and their ML is also very attractive so congrats for those who win.

Boston too, played great in the 3rd quarter and never allow Wizards to comeback and make a rally.

When in an important game and the status is questionable, most likely the player will play unless it's confirmed out. The best way is to bet live, but even if they played, Hornets by its squad, they are still capable of winning the game, they just had a bad game, that's it.
2873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 19, 2021, 11:52:37 AM
Hilarious that Charles Barkley guaranteed a Charlotte victory and they got stomped so badly by Indiana. His guarantee might as well be a kiss of death when it comes to predictions and NBA games. It’s hard to imagine that someone could have such a bad record even if you were just guessing. Charles Barkley is one of a kind. Always bet against his predictions.
Charles Barkley is a gambler, probably he is already betting against himself. No one could guarantee a win, even the Lakers is not guaranteed to win against the Warriors, so you are right, always bet against anyone popular who guarantees a specific team will win as he is most likely wrong.
2874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Elon Musk's goal with Dogecoin? on: May 17, 2021, 09:48:05 PM
It is also interesting for me because Dogecoin is one of the shitcoins, but the price of this coin is manipulated by Elon Musk's tweets, l don't think that Elon Musk wants to earn only from Dogecoin, there are also other reasons for holding this coin. However, l don't know exactly what is the purpose of this. On the other hand, Elon Musk has decided that BTC will not be accepted for getting Tesla cars, if you want to buy Tesla, you can do it with Doge. This decision is also affecting the price of Dogecoin.
There's no reason for him to hold a shitcoin, all he did is to hype the coin so he can earn from dogecoin. He finds dogecoin a coin that was neglected and if he holds a big portion of it, it's easy to manipulate it by moving the big supply to the market, and he succeeded in doing it, everyone is riding with him and now that his reputation is a bit tarnish, I'm sure panic is already happening.

Expect a huge dump on DOGE.

Pacers vs Hornets and Celtics vs Wizards coming up on 18th night as the playoffs - Promotion kicks off. Who do you think will win those match ups? Hornets are on a 5 game losing streak and Pacers seems to be the favorites and I think the Pacers will pull through to the next round. For the Hornets, it all falls on Rozier.. if he outshines Pacers.
Tough call to be honest, but I like the Hornets here, I know both of these teams are good but I just follow my gut in selecting a winner. Hornets doesn't only have Rozier, Ball is ready to help and it's his first playoffs so we might see a better Ball.

Celtics vs Wizards is slightly tougher to call since Jaylen Brown is out for at least 3 months which means he's not participating in the playoffs. Would have favored the Celtics otherwise.

I guess as a team it will be Celtics, even if they lose brown, they are still good because they have the experience and it's time for them to give everything.
Westbrook and Beal are both healthy, but as I said, I like Celtics as they play hard as a team.
2876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange tokens all the way on: May 14, 2021, 02:48:28 PM
Yeah, like most people said "Big risk = Big profit". Almost every coins who got supported by binance the price instantly rise more than 10 times from the current price, but for TKO is verry surprising me because when the coin hit the market the price instantly rise more than x30.

Are you referring to this token (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tokocrypto/)?
I'm not familiar with this project, so I was looking at that x30 you are talking about, may I know what's the lowest price of the coin since I did not see the x30 by just looking at the graph provided by CMC.
2877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: See why most bounty hunters get scammed on: May 14, 2021, 02:30:01 PM
~

Participation in a scam project will not affect bounty hunters too much, because in this case they will only lose some of their time and receive less than the promised profit, that is, they will not incur direct losses. However, investors will incur significant losses because they will invest their own money in the project. Therefore, it is imperative that bounty hunters are smart and perspicacious enough to conduct their own research and expose the scam in all possible projects that they will come across on their way.
Obviously, that's what we should do, joining blindly is a big mistake as we are promoting scams in the crypto space which will ruin the reputation of the crypto space. it's hard to find good projects nowadays and we can't assure that we will support a legit project as we don't know their plans, but at least if we do our research, we will be able to minimize the risk of supporting a scam project and we will be paid with our effort with coins that have future potential.
2878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 14, 2021, 01:22:00 PM
But look at the record of His opponent,  20 wins with only 1 Loss when Casimero has 4 .
yeah, the record shows Rigondeaux should be in the upper hand, but Rigondeaux is 40 years old and I watched his recent fight and his fight with Donaire eight years ago, you can see the decrease in aggressiveness, speed, and power in his last fight unlike when he fought Donaire where Rigondeaux dominated the fight. In this fight, Casimero has the upper hand because he is in his prime, he has speed, power, aggressiveness, stamina, and experience.
I would go with Rigondeaux in terms of experience but you are right, Casimero is in his prime now and he just beat a champion so I will not doubt him to win against Rigondeaux.  If Rigondeaux will be careless here, he might suffer what Tete suffered, it was just one mistake and the fight was over.
2879  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading vs Investing (The major differences) on: May 14, 2021, 01:10:10 PM
I have preferred investment ever since I discovered myself that trading is a thing of a poor mindset, I started to understand that the billionaires are all long term investors, and they are the ones that travels to wherever they want in the world, I choose investment over trading am to me 1 year now looks like a month, if you can think this way then you will beat out from poverty.

Short term investment is not profitable, it socks you silently while others are getting richer gradually. Long term investments is the only way forward.
The study says this one, traders are losing because they lose opportunities in the coming years and I have to agree on this one since I do trade BTC before and I regret doing that because of the value today. Anyway, we all have different strategy and we cannot blame traders for actively working on the market so they can achieve their goals. I personally play long in stock market and do trading in cryptomarket, its about your risk tolerance and of course your availability.
Good strategy though, the stock market is more secured as it's less manipulated compared to the crypto market, but in terms of profitability, we can make a bigger profit in crypto if we are smart enough in finding the right opportunity. The high volatile market could give better profit for smart traders, that's why we can't blame some people who focus on crypto as there's big money in here.
2880  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never go below $50,000 again on: May 14, 2021, 11:50:56 AM
Many times that bitcoin has dump below $50k, this is not a good sign that bitcoin will reach a new ATH, but a sign that bitcoin might turn from bullish to bearish. Though it's still positive on the overall market performance as the dominance of bitcoin is decreasing, meaning altcoins are growing when bitcoin is dumping, which is a good news since money are still in the crypto space.
