For the boxing fans out there, Inoue and Donaire's match is tomorrow and it's on duelbits. Check the tab/site for the odds.
https://duelbits.com/sportsbook/boxing
It was 4.90 a few hours ago for Donaire but it's now 4.80. Aside from that there are also other matches that will happen tomorrow for boxing. Check it guys for your own choices to bet.

The odds is very one-sided and worthy the risk if you are an underdog bettor. I believe duelbits will have a special promotion for this match before the match start since many fans will watch this exciting rematch.
Yeah, it's because Inoue is the champ and Donaire is just another challenger again. The match is about to happen within a few hours so, whether with or without promotion, everyone should take their bets before it starts.

I might put a small bet to Donaire as support but I'm not expecting much that he will win since he is too old compared to Inoue which is currently at prime. This maybe the final fight of Donaire if he lose again to Inoue since he is waiting for so long just to have this sweet revenge.
Good luck with that, with most of the discussions that I've been with, majority is counting on Donaire but we will see then in just a few hours.

This rematch is a unification fight. Both are champions with Inoue's WBA and IBF belts on the line while Donaire has the WBC title.
 
Odds are as high as 5.20 now for Donaire. Donaire is a huge underdog because he is already old and is past his prime. He do have the power though that remains as threat to any bantamweights. So far, only Inoue was able to survive Donaire's power and not after being shaken and blooded. And only Donaire was able to hurt Inoue so far, once branded as invincible and unbeatable. 
2942  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: June 07, 2022, 01:41:21 AM

I just learned that the winner of this rematch between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire might face the new WBO Champion, Paul Butler.

Yes, because they want to unify all the belts and Butler happen to have the WBO, (in which Casimero used to hold).

I thought Inoue will move up weight now if ever he will beat Donaire at their rematch and won't bother to unify the title that Butler holds. I believed I encounter an article regarding that Naoya Inoue's plan.

Well then, moving forward, it's already expected that we can see decent odds for Nonito Donaire to win the match. I'm also considering placing a bet for him to support the Filipino Flash. It's good that while supporting someone, we are also enjoying good odds as a bettor.

Time flies really fast. It looks like the match was just recently announced and now only a few days of waiting before we can see them clash again. All the advantages including the home arena were on Inoue's side. This is really a big upset if Donaire will beat the Japanese monster. It will send some shockwave news around the boxing community world.

Because I already have a Donaire bet, I really hope he can land those heavy bombs on Inoue. I have a feeling that Inoue will fight smart this time. Inoue knows that Donaire is not the Flash anymore and will utilize his speed to going in and out.

I think Paul Butler's call is a bluff. He ain't going suicidal against the monster. But if Donaire wins, Butler might consider unifying the belts especially if it happens in his rich city of Liverpool, his own backyard. Butler and Donaire are both promoted by Probellum(PBC) so this is a big possibility. On the other hand, Inoue is promoted by Top Rank(ESPN).

Bob Arum since he signed Inoue few years ago already said he wanted the kid to move up further in weight. Inoue's dream though is to become undisputed. Should he beat Donaire later, then he wants the last remaining belt held by Butler. Should Probellum and PBC decline (especially Butler do not have the power and speed) then Inoue might be forced to move up.

Another odd situation for Inoue and Top Rank though is the 4 super bantam belts are only held by two fighters and both are with PBC.

Yesterday I decided to just stake some of my coins that are kept in exchanges. Right now my biggest APY is from AXS currently at 81%. It is the governance token of the popular Axie Infinity and a top 50 in terms of coin market capitalization. Though popular and high in mcap but still volatile especially in a long bearish season. Another one I am staking is League of Ancients although it still a new project with its game launching late this year.

I was hoping for Boston to win this season's championship but okay I gave up. Yesterday I took my first bet in this series. I bet on GSW. I think they have too much offense and their options are just too many compared to Boston. Boston's 4th quarter rally in game 1 only happens once in a lifetime only. Defensively GSW also got Draymond and Wiggins. We also saw in game 2 the return of Gary Payton II. Maybe not that useful when everyone's healthy and performing but when needed the guy is good offensively and is very accurate.

I see some people in the internet complain about early stoppage in the fight between Volkov and Rozensturik. As if Rozensturik could have recovered, he was protecting himself and could continue. As well as the Herb Dean stopped this fight, fighters were confused that this is over. I think Herb Dead did exactly what he should do, saved Rozensturik from receiving unnecessary punches.

And Unnecessary damage, he could receive a way ton of expenses in healing himself not from bruises and stretches but with brain damage if the fight still continues, many people really didn't see the importance of an early stoppage Volkov will not hesitate to punch even further if Herb Dean doesn't call it, and most fighters would not notice that his opponent is not in any condition to fight because of the heat of the battle so kudos to Herb Dean, for doing that there will be a lot of criticism but Dean is just doing his job and an excellent one for saving fighters lives,

I am not a big fan of Herb Dean and I got disappointed by some of his ring decisions especially on some crucial moments. But this time, I agree with him. I also do not think Rozenstruik recovered and Volkov was in a perfect striking position to deal more damage especially to the head. In that case, I don't think Rozenstruik has the strength, agility and skill to get away from further punishment.

Round 39 Ranking

- Another sold out game in Chase Center as GSW tied their series with Boston Celtics. At once again, another 3rd quarter rally by GSW. The difference is hindi nila hinayaan makabawi at magkaroon ng momentum ulit ang Boston. Nakita rin natin ang pagbabalik ni Gary Payton II, it means additional offensive options sa GSW bench. Mukhang makakatikim na ata ng Finals MVP itong si Stephen Curry matapos ang kanyang previous 3 championships.

2948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: June 05, 2022, 01:47:02 PM
I don't understand why Kambosos was trying to outbox a very technical boxer like Haney aside from being the shorter fighter and shorter reach. I was expecting Kambosos to turn the fight into a brawl by throwing combinations of 3 to 5 punches. He was too late to let his hands go and lost his belts. He can still activate the rematch clause in Australia though. But with that boring fight outcome, it is hard to expect another 40,000+ audience in Australia. So I won't be surprised if the rematch happens in different location. Top Rank and ESPN might look for better alternative locations.    
2949  Local / Pamilihan / Re: ♛♛♛The Finals - NBA Prediction Tournament♛♛♛ on: June 05, 2022, 12:45:24 PM
Golden State Warriors- I doubt GSW can win this title if they will lost again in game 2. Kaya bawian time na talaga to. Kita naman sa game 1 na dominated nila ang laro most of the time. Tsaka ang daming record-breaking na nangyari sa game 1 which don't happen regularly. Kaya nasabi ni Draymond Green na they're just fine dahil malabo  naman maulit mga ganung figures. Sana nga lang wag magwala si Tatum masyado dahil kapansin pansin na din na bumabawi siya every after off night performance.

Stephen Fulton vs Danny Roman is also a main event mate. Gone are the days when it's just HBO and Showtime running the big boxing shows and many times adjusted their schedules to avoid the same fight dates. Right now we have 3 giant networks (DAZN, PBC, ESPN) that are not scared to stage their own events on the same schedules. Many boxing fans are dismayed because it divide the viewers. 

On June 4 both 3 networks will air their own shows although Kambosos-Haney is the biggest of the 3 events.

ESPN: Kambosos vs Haney   
PBC: Stephen Fulton vs. Daniel Roman
DAZN: Kenichi Ogawa vs. Joe Cordina


Right, it's obvious that HBO Boxing is gone for good for many years and if I'm not mistaken some of it's executive are working on Showtime like Espinoza or in the other 3 giant networks that you mentioned.

I think the Fulton vs Roman could be a good banger but Stephen is the big favorite so I'm not expecting the fight to last the distance.

Ogawa is a Japanese junior light weight champion, this is his first defense of the belt and I think this is more interesting as the lower weights is filled with fighters that are fast and strong. But I expect Ogawa to win here as well.

Espinoza actually started working with Showtime even before HBO stopped its boxing program. It was funny, during the HBO vs Showtime network war as both top network executives swapped networks with Stephen Espinoza heading Showtime while former Showtime boss Ken Hershman went to HBO. Cheesy

I haven't watched both fights because Fulton faced a heavy underdog. But at least after his victory, the WBC and WBO champion said that he wanted to unify all the 4 belts. So let us hope he fights WBA and IBF champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev in his next fight. It will be very interesting to see another undisputed champion.

Ogawa-Cordina was a better match up since the former champion visited his own contender's backyard. The problem is UK fights are too early in the morning in my time so I cannot watch them live. I do sacrifice some sleep when its a big fight like Usyk-AJ and GGG-Brooks.   
2951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 03, 2022, 11:16:40 AM
It appears everyone is very busy arguing about Kambosos versus Haney and Inoue versus Donaire hehehe. We forgot that this weekend Stephen Fulton will also be fighting Danny Roman. It might not appear to be an important fight, we know Fulton's victory is a certainty, however, every boxing fan should watch it because if Inoue wins, he might move up to super bantamweight and challenge Fulton for the WBC and WBO super bantamweight championships.

Well, Sad to say many are mainly focused on the main events and don't want to give even slight details over other fights that are not on the main card, and actually the same goes with me because I really don't know Stephen Fulton and Danny Roman, and I think that many here are with me and speaking of the Kambosos and Haney, they indeed have a heated argument that may add fuel to the hype, and with Inoue VS Donaire I am really most excited to that fight more than other, I am curious if Naoya Inoue has upped his game or if Nonito Donaire can have an answer to their rematch or if it's going to be a repeat of the past,

Okay I get it. There  will be a total of 30 teams headed to Singapore for this year's The International.

Actually a total of 20 teams. Top 12 DPC points for direct invite, 6 from regional qualifiers and 2 wild cards qualifiers.

10 will be eliminated at the early phase and then the 20 will go and play for the playoffs.

Im not sure where do you guys both got this from but it will be 20 teams to begin with and only 16 will be going through the playoffs stage.

It's an official article from Valve that says TI Singapore will host 30 teams and that it will be the largest DOTA 2 event. At first I thought the article made a mistake because I also believe that there will be only 20 teams in TI group stage. It took me some minutes before I get it. The wild card qualifiers happens in Singapore too and is part of TI.

And yes you are right. There will be a group stage first before the playoffs.

The Finals game 2: Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
- A must win game para sa GSW. Mas lumaki pa din spreads. Dahil siguro nakita sa laro na kontrolado ng GSW bago nangyari ang di inaasahang record-breaking rally ng Boston Celtics. Lightning cannot hit twice ika nga? Pero in reality di naman talaga totoo. Malay pala natin makabawi na naman ulit si Jayson Tatum gaya ng mga previous games niya. Anyways, my the best team wins. Good luck guys.
  
1. Game venue: San Francisco

Round 38 Ranking

- What a game! It was a shocker. Jayson Tatum struggled. GSW controlled the around 85% of the game. Stephen Curry and co were shooting well and then bigla na lang nagkaroon ng superb rally sa 4th quarter. Hindi lang talaga basta bastang rally dahil pagkatapos ng laro ay nakuha pa talagang mag lead ng Boston Celtics ng double digits. Ang daming record-breaking na nangyari sa larong to.  

***Pasensya na nga pala dun sa last na ranking dahil maling link ang nalagay. Thanks chaser15.

2955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: June 02, 2022, 01:36:47 PM


Odds at the moment if this fight goes the distance:

Haney 1.88  Kambosos 3.25
I haven't bet on a decision because Kambosos knockout record is underrated. His last three opponents were all former world champions and he knocked downed two of them. And I saw the e-mail champ getting hurt several times. Kambosos might stop this kid.   

You should bet now, Kambasos is really underrated, and the fact that he is still undefeated now, that says a lot that he is really a good boxer. Haney is just favored because of his great boxing talent, but a knockout artist for me is fun to watch compared to a technical boxer that sometimes would only be boring.
I already bet twice on Kambosos to win mate.

Few more days before fight night. Unified champion George Kambosos is pumped and ready. It is time to test the WBC e-mail champ, Devin Haney. We will see if the young e-mail champion has what it takes to become undisputed. Despite defending his championship belts the first time, I still believe that Kambosos is more tested and more experienced in world level. While Haney was in the US defending his belt, George was travelling around the globe and fought opponents in their own backyards. George will take this kid somewhere he's never been, in deep waters.     
Nice optimism mate, but the bookies tell otherwise Cheesy
However I'm also on Kambosos side, surely he will be motivated when he was beat Lopez and won't being or underestimate his opponent.
Fv*k the bookies mate. Cheesy So far i'm still undefeated on my underdog betting picks this year.
Paul Butler 4+
Katie Taylor 2+
Dmitry Bivol 3+
 
Devin Haney didn't beat someone to take the WBC belt. He became the WBC champion thru e-mail. Baby Haney was babysit his whole professional career. He cannot swim in deep waters. And no dad on his side either to calm him down in times of trouble. I give him the respect by coming to Australia though but he is fighting the wrong guy.

There's now an update of the schedules for the upcoming The International - 2022 for Dota 2 that will be held in Singapore.

The first schedule is for the last chance for the qualifiers and there will be 20 teams that will enter the playoffs. Well, if I'm still free, I would have booked a flight and ticket on this TI.

Everyone who's been a fan of Dota 2 and wants to watch the hype as the LAN has been back again after a long time due to covid restrictions would do something to be on the Suntec Arena watching it live.

Source --> https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3190249489765271734

Okay I get it. There  will be a total of 30 teams headed to Singapore for this year's The International. I think there will be more fun in this event. More chances for the teams to qualify as even the 2nd and 3rd in the regional qualifiers can still made it to Singapore in order to battle it out for the last 2 spots.

But before we get too excited on this, let's get to Arlington Major and its regional qualifiers first.

Yes, there a lot of people in this forum that are really good analysts in their respective favorite sports. Last bet that is partly influenced by some people in this forum was Real Madrid's championship victory in UEFA. I took it at 3.68 odds. As much as I love soccer especially the European leagues, their matches are played in the middle of my sleeping hours.

Before the pandemic I also followed an e-sport bettor here and I copied his CS:GO and compared his DOTA2 picks to mine. I had it 11 wins with only 1 lost. The guy is now inactive in this forum.
2958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: June 02, 2022, 06:16:22 AM
Ohh, I missed this one. I thought that Kambosos has all 4 belts in his hand but it is only three as Haney has the WBC belt.
Kambosos is actually holding 5 belts at the moment; The Ring, WBA Super, IBF, WBO and WBC Franchise. But Kambosos can only defend and unify the WBA Super, IBF and WBO belts. 

The Ring belt is the most prestigious belt in boxing but it is not a sanctioning body unlike WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO. The Ring belt is an award from The Ring magazine aka the bible of boxing. Not all divisions have Ring champions because it is only given to the clear champion of a division. If Haney can win clearly then it is obvious that The Ring will award him this belt. 

WBC Franchise belt was a failed attempt by the WBC to create another major belt in a division. In order to free champions from WBC mandatories especially if you are holding many belts and you're a super star wherein picking opponents are mostly based on the financial side, the WBC made this belt. It is supposedly an upgraded WBC belt version like the Super WBA belt from its WBA regular belt. Franchise belts are not well received in boxing community and is not branded as a major or legit belt.

If Franchise belts were considered as the real WBC belts then Teofimo Lopez and then Kambosos would've been undisputed by now since it was Lomachencko's WBC belt that was upgraded into a Franchise belt. The WBC then e-mailed Haney (then WBC interim champion) that he was elevated into a full WBC champion thus many calling him as the e-mail champ since he never won the real belt from an actual fight.

The WBA Super is an upgraded WBA regular belt. The boxing community branded the Super WBA belt as WBA's major belt in a division thus the WBA regular belt can only become legit and major when there is no Super WBA champion in a division. Thus, Tank Davis is like a fake champion in lightweight.   
     
Same here, I also believed that the Australian has an edge in terms of experience, and being the sparring partner of Manny Pacquiao before, that could have some boost on his career. I don't know why bookies have put Haney as the favorite in this fight, he has not fought big names yet though he won against Linares and Gamboa but both were in the twilight of their careers and they were made a stepping stone for young boxers with potentials to become world champions.

Odds at the moment if this fight goes the distance:

Haney 1.88  Kambosos 3.25
I haven't bet on a decision because Kambosos knockout record is underrated. His last three opponents were all former world champions and he knocked downed two of them. And I saw the e-mail champ getting hurt several times. Kambosos might stop this kid.
