I expect more team secret now on there DPC tournament journey. Only OG beat them so far and I’m looking forward to there match against Tundra.

Team Secret already lost to Tundra 1-2. Tundra was just too strong for this Team Secret version (playing without Yapzhor). Though Team Secret managed to steal game 2, they were not allowed anymore by Tundra to another long game in game 3. Team Secret also lost to red-hot Entity 1-2. They only have 2 remaining matches against Gaimin Gladiators and goonsquad. It is near to impossible now for Team Secret to qualify in this year's last major. And this might cost them TI for the first time in many years. Unless their region's top teams will have a strong finish in Arlington Majors and gain automatic invitations. 
2862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 29, 2022, 09:05:12 AM
Here is a compilation of betting odds from proboxingodds.com.

Two books slightly favored Rey Vargas while the other book slightly favored the defending champion Magsayo.

Technically Rey Vargas is the better boxer although he is moving up in weight. He was a long time champion, undefeated, more experienced in world level fights and more stamina since he is used to fight in full 12 rounds. Mark Magsayo's advantage is his power, strength and he's got the heart.

And this fight is going to be in Alamodome, he might repeat what Manny did here years ago when he just stormed and beat the hell out of Marco Antonio Barrera. Will history repeats itself?
This fight is in Alamodome which means the audience will have a lot of Mexican and Mexican-American fans cheering probably for Vargas. And Manny Pacquiao was cheated in Alamodome. Barrera was down in a legit punch but was ruled a slip. Pacquiao slipped and was ruled a knock down. And controversial referee Laurence Cole is still alive and kicking, he might even get the nod to referee this fight.   

I do hope Mark Magsayo wins because he is the more exciting fighter. Devin Haney indirectly calling him a bum should further motivate him and give him the hunger to win championships in multiple divisions. And who knows if the two will fight down the road.

May mali ata sa oras ng schedule mo kabayang bisdak40 o baka hindi talaga sinunod ng PBA ang kanilang nilagay ng game schedule. 3:30 PM kasi nakasaad sa TNT laban sa NorthPort pero nag-start ata sila at 3PM. Sayang di na makapanghula. kung hindi sinunod ng PBA ang kanilang hourly schedule ay mas mabuti pa gawin mo na 1 hr in advance ang ating deadline kabayan para sigurado.

Ang hirap hulaan nitong SMB at Rain or Shine. Lossing record si Rain or Shine pero malakas naman at close mga talo nila. Kaya bahala na si batman.

Rain or Shine- SMB bigay mo na. Total may dalawang talo na din karibal nyong TNT at top 1 pa din naman sister team na Ginebra.

The fact that you have once won 60 USD by following a tip on this board cannot lead us to conclude that this is a profitable board for beginners.

I agree that the tips or predictions shared here may not be 100 percent accurate but generally, it can give you a good idea and help you make your decision on betting. There is a lot of information and views being discussed and it is surely knowledgeable to read them.

I believe there's a lot of very good bettors in this forum to follow.

I remember when I hosted an NBA tournament in our local section. There's this guy who won in the tournament. He seemed special because he was too good with his predictions. He was first in the our elimination round. It was a right minus wrong tournament with +/- on the matches to make it more difficult and challenging. In his 17 days, he predicted correctly 48 games against only 8 losses. It actually came to my thought of betting a little on his picks. He seemed pretty well-disciplined too by not picking all the games available, it was like quality over quantity. Nonetheless, I never bet on his picks because I was also part of the tournament and his high performance was like a challenge to me who is also a huge NBA fan. If I bet $10 on all of his predictions with 0.90 odds, I would have made a profit of around $350. He then went on to win the championship rounds which was difficult because all finalists starts with zero points again.
2865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 28, 2022, 10:02:24 AM

The Los Angeles Lakers is pretty much interested at first but since Shams Charania has revealed recently that Kyrie Irving is staying on the Brooklyn Nets because he would likely to finish his contract with the Nets, this has sour all faces of the Lakers fans, and have put all rumors into cold chilling ice, and they would likely to withstand Russell Westbrook another season, surely many Lakers fans doesn't want Westbrook in the team anymore.

Obviously, even the other teams passed on the trade package that includes Westbrook in it. The Pacers declined to a trade offer that includes Brogdon. I guess Westbrook is a really hard player to go along with even with his explosiveness.
On the other hands, NBA fans would always thought the best place for Kyrie is to be with LeBron. That would allow them to run another round that might give them another championship, only if AD remains healthy all season long including playoffs.

I think it is misunderstood. Kyrie Irving opt-in to his remaining last year contract with the Nets because there was no better teams that offered better than that $36.5 million. If he opted out, he would became a free agent and the Nets cannot trade him anymore, although it frees their cap. The Nets can now trade Kyrie to the Lakers or any other teams.

Westbrick should be cheap but he is actually $10 million more expensive than Kyrie. I don't know how the Lakers will do this. Or are they really serious to include AD in their trade deals?

Butler's only choice is to call the fight and wait for his defeat because there's really nothing he can do against Inoue, would you guys believe that Butler is capable defeating Inoue for atleast by decision? I think the answer for that is NO.

That's 100%, Butler is not even a better fighter than Donaire IMO, so there's no way he will beat Inoue, I see a KO in the early rounds. If Butler would choose to run, still the same result, it's still a Loss and the belt will be taken by Inoue for him to become an undisputed champion.

But the money both of them could have made if the fight is going to be in UK? I think that is the only bargaining power that Butler has right now.

Although Arum is a wise manager, he can call the bluff and say it should be held in Saitama wherein Inoue is comfortable. On the other hand, how can Inoue be the biggest star, he has to conquer the US so that he will get a lot of audience just like what Manny did during his heyday.

Inoue-Butler in the UK is also big especially in Liverpool where Butler is just near. This is possible if Butler is reluctant in unifying and Inoue and Arum really want all the belts unified.

Inoue already fought in the US before. And of course he will be back there unless Japan's sponsors and market will be bigger than the US. Let's not forget that Japan is a boxing powerhouse and they are the third biggest economy in the world after China. 
2867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 28, 2022, 09:27:01 AM
A lot of rumors spreading in the boxing world that these two will fight this October. Hopefully it is true. Crawford should not tolerate Spence avoiding and prolonging this fight because he is already 35. His age is actually ripe and ready to be taken out anytime. Only casuals in boxing won't see how Spence team is trying to play the waiting game ever since. Crawford in October is like inactive for nearly a year and that's another disadvantage. Maybe he should threaten PBC that if the fight with Spence still won't happen this year then he signs with DAZN and activate his option as WBO mandatory on undisputed champion Jermell Charlo. That will force a possible purse bid that is so winnable by the richer DAZN.

And Canelo just said that Bud is the better fighter. But time is really not on Bud's side. Time flies so fast, Crawford is now joining these old but great fighters Usyk, Beterbiev and GGG.

and this makes them temporarily stop their casino operations because when I click on their casino website there is only this image appears

And maybe this is the end and they are not coming back. Did the casino ever attracted many players? I am following the project and this thread in months. I was only silent because I noticed the trading volume is still very low so I thought I need some time before I invest in their tokens. I think 50% profit sharing to its token holders is really good. But of course they really need an exchange with acceptable volume otherwise investors are at risk.

There's a lot of reasons as to why Binance keeps going and BNB remains as one of the top crypto currencies. BSC is working well and is cheap. And as long as Binance stays in business then BNB stays. And as long as Binance continues to become the biggest crypto currency exchange then BNB will remain healthy as well. The thing about Binance is their willingness to work in many countries and is willing to be regulated just like in my country.

7. Participants reaching their accumulated total scores to -8 will be automatically eliminated in this tournament.

Since hindi marami yong sumali (hindi tayo umabot sa 20), gusto ko sanang baguhin or tanggalin yong game mechanics number 7 ^^ dahil baka maubos ang mga participants na wala pang playoffs. Pero bago ko baguhin yan ay kukunin ko muna yong consensus ng makakarami para naman hindi ako magmukhang diktador hehe. Maglalagay ako ng poll at kung sino mananalo ay rerespetohin natin.

Salamat mga brader.
Go kabayan! Agree ako diyan para masaya. Much better na din na marami tayo dahil pwede naman humabol pa bigla, tulad ko na later bloomer. Mangyari dito parang European leagues ng soccer. Walang elimination at pataasan na lang talaga ng puntos hanggang sa matapos ang buong double round-robin games.

2871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 27, 2022, 10:49:17 AM
True. This is an old GGG moving up in weight against a prime Canelo. We should not forget that Canelo lost in his last fight because he moved up in weight. He is still undefeated and undisputed in super middleweight. Did Canelo even suffered even a single knockdown in his career? I guess no. When's the last time Canelo got seriously wobbled? Probably against Jose Cotto when he was still a boy? I say there's a big chance Canelo is the one stopping GGG this time.

That would be a big win from him if he could really stop GGG.

Their last two fights are controversial because GGG still believes that the judging was unfair and he does not believe he lose in that fight. By saying stopping, are you referring to Canelo knocking out GGG? If that's what you meant, then we will surely have a very entertaining fight.

Yes. I pick Canelo to knockout this old version of GGG. But of course, I hope I am wrong. I am a huge GGG. Been a fan of him since he was chasing Felix Sturm's WBA belt. I always admire fighters that are championship level despite lesser fights like Lomachenko, Usyk, Inoue, etc.  

Canelo is always favored by the judges ever since. He is probably the only ATG with too many questionable scores like Mayweather, Trout, Lara, GGG 2x, Bivol and many more. Even when he was clearly out pointed by Floyd Mayweather two to one, it was only a majority decision.

Last weekend, another mid to late 30s got knocked out. The ever durable Thai Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. He was the conqueror of then undefeated and then Ring Magazine pound for pound king Chocolatito Gonzales. He joined Donaire. Is GGG next?

In today's rumors, the Lakers apparently are trying to work a deal to trade Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook for Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving.  I don't think the Nets would do this, but maybe...  Simmons and Kyrie are headaches while Anthony Davis is considered to be a top tier player with a lot of time left in his career.  With Russell's contract being a negative and Anthony Davis looking to end up in Chicago eventually, I think the Nets would be dumb to do this trade.  LeBron is a fan of Ben Simmons and has won a championship with Kyrie though, so it's a possibility...  With how wacky Simmons and Kyrie are, anything could happen.

It seems to me that this potential deal between the Lakers and Nets will remain just a rumor because Davis and Westbrook for Irving and Simmons look like an unequal trade, and it would be disadvantageous to the Lakers. In addition, there was a contrary rumor a few days ago that the Lakers have no plans to trade Anthony Davis at all.
I don't see why any team would want to keep Anthony Davis or acquire him. He is injured and sits out more then half of every season since entering the NBA. The Lakers are just bleeding money keeping his bum ass.

Don't forget that when the Lakers acquired Davis, they won the championship. Maybe he is a problem because he is very fragile but I think if the team just know how to manage him, they will be able to benefit in keeping him.

It is hard to imagine the Lakers letting go on AD in exchange for 2 divas Kyrie and Simmons. But maybe the Lakers are so desperate while Lebron still has it? If so, then they can get rid on injury prone AD and Westbrick. Kyrie-Lebron might work and if not they can trade Kyrie. Simmons is the problem. He ain't putting buckets while Kyrie and Bron gives him the openings. And it would be hard to trade Simmons knowing his attitude and his $40+ million salary up to 2025.

It is good to see that nearly all of us who voted here are just casual gamblers. Are you sure your gambling activities are not affecting your responsibilities in the family and at work?

Sometimes we gambled over our limitations and it's not really healthy. I felt stressed during those times especially when losing money that is already material to me even if it is my extra amount. Because gambling is just some kind of a recreation. It should be fun, entertaining and gives us some thrill and excitement. It somehow relaxes us from our daily routines which at times could be stressful and boring.
2874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH gas fees are low....A great time to get in? on: June 27, 2022, 06:45:04 AM
I am not going to present a technical analysis, because long term chart shows it is riding with king bitcoin's halving period where ath happens and drops steadily in the next couple of years. But just in case it won't be the same, then you can actually start buying. Huge financial firms usually invest by tranche.

My projection on eth is it may drop as low as $400 range. But I will start buying from $1,000, then $900, down to $400 if ever it happens.

Mga kalaban nila separate owners na teams kaya bigay todo itong Topang Giga at Beermen. Lalo na itong Tropang Giga na may dalawang talo na. At kailangan nila bumawi at manalo dahil na din talo sister team nila kahapon. 

Sayang na-upset pa kahapon ang Meralco. Langya tinambakan pa talaga. Yung Dyip as usual alaws talaga team na yan. Aahon lang yan pag mag-seryoso at wag na gawing farmville.

Probably against Jose Cotto when he was still a boy? I say there's a big chance Canelo is the one stopping GGG this time.

But the outcome of this fight will never justify the previous 2 fights. First fight was a clear GGG. Second fight was close and could go either way. And Canelo fought GGG when he was already 35 and 36. Hardcore fight fans should remember when Canelo surrendered his WBC middleweight belt because he don't want to fight GGG. Canelo was subjected to mockery at that time. Imagine surrendering your belt without a fight? That's not Mexican. That is why some Mexicans until now hated Canelo and are calling him a coward.

GGG was avoided during his prime years. Remember the first time he fought for the championship? He fought for the interim WBA champion belt first because then German superstar Felix Sturm avoided him at all cost.

There's a lot of rumors on Kevin Durant lately. I think the guy wants no part on Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving. If Brooklyn Nets cannot satisfy his demands then he might be the one leaving. There's also rumors on a Boston Celtics trade for Jalen Brown, Marcus Smart and Grant Williams. Though this is a very big gamble if this really happens but who knows. Maybe Boston had seen enough on their Tatum-Brown build.   
2880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you trust a gambler with your money/savings? on: June 25, 2022, 10:12:54 AM
I will answer this based on my experiences. But if the gambler is a stranger then literally it is already a big no. I will never ever trust them with my money.

When it comes to money. I used to judge my gambling friends thru their personal past and present appearances, attitudes and as much as possible their financial situations. Assessing their financial situations is the best but it is also the most difficult because it is something personal and we may not be able to delve deeper. I can remember a friend prosing to our circle of friends about a business and that he will be the one to manage. I rejected it right away knowing he was struggling financially with unpaid debts to some of our friends and he is also a regular gambler. I got a lot gambling friends and relatives that haven't paid me up to now although in small amounts.

The biggest unpaid amount from a regular gambler to me was $600. He used to gamble around $1000 to $4000 daily. I trusted that friend and let him borrowed $2,000 few years ago because he seemed doing well financially. In few years time he acquired 3 more cars, regularly vacationing abroad and somehow his wife's family business was expanding. I was too late to know that he was personally bleeding financially with divorced coming up and some unpaid debts to some of our common friends too.

Lesson I learned? The things we see is not really enough to assess someone's financial situation especially on a heavy gambler.
