2901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 18, 2022, 05:28:58 AM
^ I think we will all agree that 50/50 is not going to happen. Spence teams has some leverage in the negotiations and Crawford is push on the wall and would have to accept what is going to be offered for him. 60/40? fair, 70/30 good but there could be other factors to be involved like the PPV split to somewhat balance it to his favor.

I remember when Crawford was still with Bob, there was a suggestion from Arum that the split should be 40/40 and then then the winner gets that 20 additional. Not sure if they are going to look at this option.

PPV share is probably the only remaining reason why this fight is not yet finalized. I liked Eddie Hearn saying that this fight needs to happen. Otherwise Eddie can offer Bud a good amount of money but it will only make the Spence fight more difficult to stage.

Errol Spence has more aces now when it comes to money. Lately, he's got more PPV numbers than Bud. Errol Spence while only ranked 4th in the pound for pound Ring list compared to Bud's 3rd rank owns the IBF, WBC and WBA  while Bud only has the WBO.

Legacy wise, Bud is a 3 division champion, been an undisputed champion and a former number 1 pound for pound fighter. These achievements are enough to guarantee his future in boxing's Hall of Fame.

Time is not on Bud's side though. The sooner this fight happens, the better for Spence. Damn, Bud is already turning 36 next year. Physically he is already past his prime although his skills and iq are one in a million. And obviously it is Errol Spence ducking for many years hiding under Al's gown. 
2902  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk sued for 258 billion USD over alleged Dogecoin pyramid scheme. on: June 18, 2022, 04:54:00 AM
Dogecoin are listed in US regulated exchanges Coinbase and Bittrex. Whatever words and posts Elon Musk is doing are just part of his freedom. Unless he was forcing people to invest in Dogecoin then there is a valid case. Dogecoin with or without Elon Musk hypes still probably made an ATH last year just like most of the other top 100 coins due to the bullish season in the crypto market.

The fact that the complainant mentioned that they are aware since 2019 that Dogecoin has no value, made him just a sore loser in an open market regulated by US authorities. It is more reasonable for the complainant to question US authorities assigned for allowing exchanges like Coinbase to list Dogecoin.

Big news from UFC, Zabit Magomedsharipov announced he is officially retired now with great 18-1 record in MMA!
He is 31 years old now, an reason for this was many canceled fights and bigger health problems, he is now recovered but not feeling so good for competing like before.
He is not athlete anymore but he is going to stay in MMA, maybe as a coach or helping Khabib in Eagle FC, who knows.

I've heard that Magomedsharipov has a business, a cafe or restaurant, perhaps in his hometown or in a big city in Russia like Moscow or St. Petersburg. Imho, if he likes doing business, let him focus on it. A person should not be training professionally and fight whole life, let him rest and do what he wish to do. It is sad that I wont see him in octagon anymore, because I really liked his John Rambo hairstyle.

So he is finally retiring? I read it somewhere, weeks ago that he wants to pursue a career in medicine. Maybe it was only a rumor then since he mentioned that he will stay in MMA. He could've been one to three fights away from a title shot. Now, people will wonder what would've happened if he was given a title fight. I think he will beat the likes of Brian Ortega but he will be an underdog against Volkanovski and a slight underdog against Max Holloway. 



2905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 17, 2022, 02:05:25 PM
What a 2021-2022 season! After two years of pandemic, the NBA finally made it back to its regular set up with 82 games. Golden State Warriors was only ranked 3 in the western conference and yet they were able to climb the ladder and prove to everyone that a healthy Klay Thompson is all they need to continue their dynasty. And hats off to Stephen Curry for his well deserved finals MVP.

Just after the final game, the commentators reminded me that the Golden State Warriors now made it to the finals 6 times in 8 years and they were crowned champions 4 times. And then this came up to my mind. If Klay Thompson was not injured for nearly three years, was it really possible that they continued reaching the finals in straight 8 years? And their defeat to Toronto Raptors was because Klay Thompson and KD were injured otherwise they could've easily beaten Toronto in that series.

Congratulations sa mga nanalo!

Oasisman, bisdak40 and harizen you may pm or lapag dito bech32 addresses niyo. Ralle14 pm din details either bank or gcash or paymaya pero if you do not want fiat then maybe we can do it using XRP or Doge or BTC bech32.

Special thanks din kay bisdak40 sa sponsorship, malaking tulong yun. At kay Darker45 para sa 4th runner up.
 
Sobrang enjoy at challenging ang palarong ito. Sana meron pa mga kasunod na mga pa-contests at susuportahan din natin yan. PBA? Malaking event din coming up later this year The International ng DOTA2 kung saan siguradong bilyon in pesos na naman ang prize pool. At ang world's biggest sporting event FIFA World Cup, at least halos pantay pantay tayong mga Pinoy na di masyadong mahilig ng soccer. Cheesy Sa NBA naman ay sa tingin ko mas enjoy mag-predict mid season para seryosong habulan na talaga sa ranking mga teams then playoffs naman.        

Thank you so much sa lahat ng nag-participate. Cheers!

Daghan kaayong salamat bai inthelongrun at itinuloy mo ang patimpalak na ito....

Hanggang sa susunod.
Daghan pod kaayong salamat bai. Next tournament naman. Undecided pa din ako kung bumalik sa probinsiya o magstay dito sa city. Cheesy

Final Round 43 Ranking

- The Golden State Warriors are the champions this 2021-2022 season! This was least expected. After the regular games, I ranked GSW as the weakest of all the top 4s in the west and east. Well-deserved especially to our Finals MVP Stephen Curry.

- At congratulations din sa ating lahat at natapos rin ang tournament na ito. Congrats Oasisman, ang lupit mo talaga kasi noong first phase pa lang ay ikaw pa din ang nangunguna. Congrats din sa second bai bisdak40, myself, harizen, ralle14 at sa lahat ng nag participate. Nagawa at natapos natin to despite of all the trials and challenges.

2909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 16, 2022, 09:11:51 AM
As i said in other thread if Boston cant win in the game five with a Curry in 0 of 9 in 3 points shoots...... man its really uphill for they.

If Golden State its the champion this can be one of the worst champion i remember in the last years.

Lol, what do you mean worst champion? they have been in this position before, they have the greatest shooter of all time and then you call them worst champion? They are the number 3 seed in the West going into the finals, so they are pretty solid. It's not like they are the 6-8 seed and beat teams that are not healthy, maybe except for the Memphis series wherein Ja Morant is injured by they are extended by the Grizzlies to 6 games .

I guess the Warriors are going to end the series in 6 games. Most of us predicted that they will be in like 4-1 or 4-2 so maybe some of us got the correct scores then.

I don't know but I think it would be crazy to call the Golden State Warriors as the worst champion. This season is back to 82 regular games. Teams were playing at home and at the road. Before someone questions this season's championship legitimacy, they need to look back first the previous two pandemic seasons and even Toronto Raptors lucky championship win over an undermanned Warriors team.

I am also expecting the Warriors to win tomorrow. And crown Steph as MVP. 






2910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High odds or low odds, which do you prefer? on: June 15, 2022, 02:20:59 PM
Before the pandemic I used to just bet on both high and low odds depending on my mood and confidence. But this time, I am betting in a more mature and responsible approach. I am lowering my bets and I can sleep without a single bet. Now it really depends on the sport I am betting although most of my bets are around 2.0.

My favorite betting sport is basketball and I always prefer my odds to be around 2.0 so I usually use spreads.

In boxing, UFC, DOTA 2 and soccer I just mostly use the money lines although I prefer not to bet on very low odds like 1.30 and below.

    
2911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 15, 2022, 12:19:25 PM
But we will have to see, the Warriors has gain the momentum already with back to back win and they are a good road team too so I wouldn't be surprised if they win a tough game 6 in the road will balloons going down.

I would love that. Yellow balloons flying in the Garden. I want to see how both Marcus Smart and Grant Williams faces and their reactions. They have too much green blood and pride in their veins.

Anyways. I expect Stephen Curry to bounce back after that low 16 point performance in game 5. Also Jayson Tatum after recording the highest total turnover is under pressure and he might play very well in game 6. This is just like a toss up game for me with GSW's momentum and the Celtics playing at home. But i'll be taking that +3.5 on GSW.        
2912  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A season for stop loss on: June 15, 2022, 11:15:09 AM
I am not selling anything right now. It's too late. Although I am expecting some more dips but we never know what happens next and my paper losses are already high so I just HODL than regret later if somehow the market makes a sudden turn of events. Interesting if we need to wait for the next halving or ATH happens earlier.

As for my experience last 2017 ATH, I should have sold all into stable currencies last late December or early January this year. Now it's HODL time!

2914  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Ang nakaambang pag ban ng Binance sa pinas on: June 15, 2022, 09:56:35 AM
Open letter pa lang yan ng Infrawatch PH sa BSP. I can say na immediate action isn’t going to be likely syempre matagal na yung Binance na open dito sa atin at ngayun lang si Infrawatch PH na mag plan ng ganito. Baka na liquidate o na rug pull ata siya kaya nagka ganyan lol.

At saka alam naman natin na positive yung stance ni BSP sa crypto kaya hindi dali-dali ang pag process nito. At saka si CZ naman he vows for Binance to register as VASP dito sa Pinas. Pero syempre we have to be ready kung ano ang outcome nito, kaya anything can happen unexpectedly. Lalo na yung mga nag trade dyan sa Binance whether sa spot, futures, P2P, etc., talagang apektado tayo pag ganun.

Let’s just hope that this will be ignored by BSP but of course they can still push for more regulation and allowing Binance to secure its VASP as soon as possible.

Korek. Si Infrawatch naman nasobrahan na para bang mayamang bansa tayo, na walang mahirap at nakapa importante ng Pilipinas sa Binance. Palibhasa kasi ang yaman at US grad yan si Infrawatch. Nagpunta na nga dito si CZ mismo na wala namang iniiwasan at sinabi pa na willing makipag cooperate para sa mga licenses at legalities. At nag-offer pa ng mga beneficial programs para sa bansa natin.

Pwede naman pag-aralan yan at kung necessary talaga ay e-charge na lang si Binance ng violation fees or anything like gumawa pa ng mga programs as reparations. Hindi yung ban talaga at e-reject lahat ng future applications.

 
2915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 15, 2022, 07:05:47 AM
Interesting fight. I believe the odds are at par or nearly even. Both are undefeated and Rey Vargas is also a former champion. Rey Vargas has the world level of experience, he is technically the better fighter and is a 12 round fighter. The defending champion Mark Magsayo is a real featherweight so he might be the bigger fighter, he will have the power advantage and the heart.

But I actually do not like this fight happening in Texas. It will sound like Rey Vargas is fighting in front of his home crowd. And Texas has the worst boxing commission in the US. Hopefully Laurence Cole is not the referee.

Magsayo needs a knockout or at least dominate the fight clearly by scoring knockdowns or hurt Vargas in order to diminish its superior boxing skills.

To those waiting for this weekend's big IBF-WBC-WBO unification fight. Here is a promotional video made by Top Rank entitled Blood, Sweat and Tears: Beterbiev vs Smith Jr..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB-8m6u9xzs

I always laugh every time I see the video of legendary Bernard Hopkins trash talking the then unpopular Joe Smith. BHop ended the fight losing badly as he was knockout outside the ring. Until now the old legend is bitter when it comes to that Joe Smith defeat and always says he was pushed outside the ring.

My take on this fight. If Joe Smith wants to survive and win, he needs to box smart and clinch every time Beterbiev comes near. Maybe Joe Smith can outmuscle the already 37 year old Beterbiev. I still pick Beterbiev to win by KO/TKO here. Based on previous fights, Joe Smith doesn't have the defense, technique and stamina to not get hit by those Beterbiev bombs. 
   



2918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible for Traditional Banks to cooperate with Crypto on: June 14, 2022, 07:20:55 AM
Right now there's already a cooperation between many banks and crypto platforms. In my country, more and more banks and financial institutions are considering crypto platforms. Even our central bank will be working with some of these crypto platforms for improvements. The bank don't need to get threatened by crypto progress, whereas, they just need to understand how it works and then adopt when they deem it necessary and some sort of improvement to the system.

Decentralized finance is another thing. I still find it difficult to regulate unless there are changes and well, it may not anymore fully decentralized in nature. Our central banks and governments existed in order to regulate.

Tournament Finals - Batch-43 Odds

The Finals game 6: Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors
- Sa Friday pa to. Inaasahan pa din talaga ng mga bookies na makabawi pa ang Boston Celtics sa game 6. Kung sa bagay, home court naman nila. Hindi rin talaga pwedeng baliwalain ng GSW itong game 6. It should be noted na noong series ng Boston at Milwaukee Bucks ay deficit rin sila 2-3 pero kinuha nila ang game 6 at game 7. Sabi nga ni Al Horford na hindi na bago sa kanila itong on-the brink of elimination situation. 
- Don't forget na pwede kayong maglapag dito sa thread at sa pm. We will count yung latest. Basta wag lang edit at bawal mag delete. So far kailangan ni bisdak40 ng 2 points para maunahan si Oasisman samantalang harizen only needs 1 point para mahabol ang 3rd place. Best of luck sating lahat. Grin

1. Game venue: Boston
Boston Celtics
Golden State Warriors +4

Round 42 Ranking

- GSW for the first time leads this champioship series at 3-2. After Steph's huge performance in game 4, he was guarded well and was limited nitong game 5. Thanks to Andrew Wiggins' who showcased high level of performance in both defense and offense. Kitang kita yung frustration ng Boston Celtics lalo na kay Jayson Tatum. Overall, the game is still not one-sided as we are heading to game 6 in Boston.
