Just simple example, if you run a business, you can either be profitable or not. ( only possibilities)

Very simple example but a realistic one.

Some people thought that when you are a professional gambler you are already a winner and making money for you is very easy.
That's a wrong perception, professional gamblers maybe knows how to handle their emotion and they have a good game plan but that doesn't mean they'll win easily. Those who make money in gambling consistently are those who made a living in gambling, and not every professional are making a living in gambling, only few of them does.
2982  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor? on: January 20, 2021, 11:35:34 AM
I'm sure McGregor is going to hype this fight to try to convince people that he can beat Manny Pacquiao just like he did with his fight Mayweather but every comparison points to Pacquiao's advantage over McGregor in terms of skills, experience and power, his chances to win is slim but it's going to be interesting how McGregor will fare to Manny Pacquiao.

This one is different because no matter what words he throws on Manny, he doesn't get anything until they get on the ring. Let's just see considering McGregor's attitude before the fight, he has always some words to say and that would be better than Thurman's taunt when he called Manny Pacquaio Tirex Arms. That same T-Rex arm has caused so much damage to his stomach he felt it after their fight.

Let him talk, that's his way of selling the fight.

Remember, he made a lot of money during Mayweather's fight, trash talking really help to hype up the emotion of the fans, and Mayweather and Conor are both known trash talkers and their fight was successful.

Manny will remain humble but he made sure he is a beast in the ring, and it would be satisfying to see conor getting KO in the ring.

Lebron's 3's are really off, Kuzma raising his hands though, thought that Lebron will make that 3 for the win.

Lebron was even lucky that even though he badly missed the shot, Davis was there to do an offensive rebound and a put back. Unfortunately, GSW are really determined to win, they made good plays down the stretch that's why they won, this is a well deserved win for them, being an underdog by 9 points I guess,.. those who bet on the moneyline are so lucky, and they deserved that for trusting the Warriors, even in the road.

How about you guys, do you agree with the results?

I agree with the results of BPC. No complaints. What fans are complaining about is the other awards and especially how's the Top 5 have been chosen. Statistically based, we are expecting that all Top 5 prior to the awards night will be the finalist but other players got in due to the percentage of voting.

I'm expecting Ray Parks to be the number 2, even higher than my expectation to Abueva.

If PBA were able to explain this, then good so that there will be no accusation of "politics" involved here. But for those people that will complain that Stanley Pringle isn't deserving, then I think it's not appropriate.

PBA fans needs to understand how this vote was being count. The people deserve to question on how the league organizers selected those awardees. This needed  having a clean explanation knowing that rumors will always flow around in terms of manipulations and politics inside the league.

Though I also agree with you, with Pringle's being pick  as the BPC he deserve it and we seen him in action as the most productive and consistent player to help his team to win the tittle.

Actually it's true that you can't please everyone, we have our favorite players and we are expecting that they will win an award because we believe they are contributing to the team as expected. However, the winners are chosen in different criteria, it's not an public election where they will explain, it's their league, they should not be question.

As a fans I understand how some felt but this too shall pass.

I’m not sure I like McGregor fighting these professional boxers. He should leave that to the youtubers or be the pro that fights the youtuber. I feel like he’s devaluing himself by being the losing spectacle in these matches.
McGregor does not mind if he lose, what he wants is to make money, huge money if possible.

Just like his last fight with Mayweather.

Mayweather was guaranteed $100 million and McGregor $30 million ahead of the bout

That's only a guaranteed money, they made more than that. Maybe lower with Manny but still a considerable amount of money since Manny is still active and one of the greatest boxer in the sports.

Just another alternative for sports betting, however, since the site requires KYC, I think it does not give convenient to most gamblers as most of the bettors in crypto space would prefer a casino that does not require a KYC. Honestly, it's just hard to trust our information nowadays, even a popular gambling sites with reputation.

With so many alternatives, this is good for bettors.

Welcome to the forum OP. (oops... my bad, old account)
2987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Amepay raised 84.6 million in their IEO on: January 16, 2021, 12:13:18 PM
I participated in the bounty campaign but i really liked the project and its development and now that its listed in bithumb global and soon in MXC exchange with a 3 billion dollar volume i think that will help for a pump in the price and i think its the best project in the last six months.
the ieo investors had already a chance of 50% profits when the trading first started in bkex.
Maybe that's one of the reason too why th price dump now?

Bithumb has $122 million trading volume (https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bithumb-global/) but the current volume of AMEPAY now is only $160k..
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/amepay/markets/

I think it's also not automatic that because it's listed in a big exchange, the volume will easily increase, it still depend on how investors will see on this project.

But we are talking about dice here, right? It is true that I am talking about those gamblers that have a profit even though they are gambling for a long time but we are still talking about dice, luck-based games so I think strategizing can't help you. There might be some betting systems that could help you but I don't think that could make you a winner.

Seriously, we are talking on being a professional gambler by playing dice? No way.. there's no way we can be professional dicer as we don't have the advantage, we will just lose in the long run, this is a pure luck based type of game, not advisable to treat it seriously, for fun, it's good.

It is absolutely impossible for gamblers who are able to play Dice to win in the long run, because gambling games based on luck are only for
entertainment. Usually professional gamblers prefer Poker or Blackjack to be able to win in the long run, because both games do require expertise
to win. Unless the gamblers cheated when playing Dice. Because it is almost difficult to win in the long run when playing Dice, the Dice system is
made for gamblers to experience lose.

Sports betting as well, I guess there's a lot of sports bettors than poker players.. Fact is that, sports betting industry is a billion dollar industry, and that means lots of bettors are losers but there are winners in this kind of gambling, that's why this is the time of gambling that I want to focus.
2989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua on: January 16, 2021, 11:17:32 AM
The biggest fight of the year if this will happen.

Bob Arum is smart, he knows he can make money with a crowd so he will bring this fight in a place where people can watch so they can reach their target.
I hope the odds will be available soon, I really love this fight, I always wish that it will happen soon.

Just FYI, I'm betting on Tyson Fury here, I love his style and I believe he can KO Joshua.

Is this site belongs to russians? When I visit the title is Russian. Will try soon.

I also see that, I just revisited again and I can confirmed it's in Russian.

However, upon research, I don't see that it's own by a Russian or a Russian company.

Here's the info of the site.

I just like to congratulate @wheelz1200 for getting 5 out of 5 of his picks.

I'll surely follow your next pick, can't beat against you man, you are on a roll.  How about another perfect night? I'll try to put a little parlay though.

How do you think would it affect the current NBA season?

Several NBA players have tested positive for COVID-19 a second time, per report

They didn't published the names of the players but I think it's from the team that we are not seeing now playing.
If we have a list of the players, I would be glad to know and read that information.
2993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 15, 2021, 10:25:55 PM
Who does everyone have in the LeBron vs Zion matchup tonight? I think the Lakers should cover but they’ve been playing pretty relaxed lately so the young legs might shock them a little. Hard to overcome the talent gap though.

Lakers won an average of 20 points in their last 3 games, I don't think you call that relax OG.
However, I would still bet on the Pelicans here as I know they'll play harder since they are already in a 3 losing streak, I like their situation now.
2994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Amepay raised 84.6 million in their IEO on: January 15, 2021, 10:54:11 AM
Recently, I think the price drop is related to the selling of bounty hunters. I think that as more and more bounty hunters throw cryptocurrencies in their hands, prices will return to normal. Of course, the project team is currently working actively. I think we bounty hunters should spend some time researching the bounty projects we participate in.
Well, bounties and airdrops selling assets together make the price drop below the IEO price. until now, the price is still increasing and is back approaching the IEO price. I'm pretty sure there are still many people who hold their AME tokens. Reportedly, this coin will be listed on MXC this January, and it is reported that February will be listed in the top 3 exchanges. this may push the price back to the IEO price or even higher.
Probably holding can give investors some reward, if their is no buying power for now, it's expected that the price will drop and we are seeing it. The future of the project depends on its achievement to the plan, and if they'll be able to attain the timeline, then we will probably see this project succeed.

I just hope that bounty hunters are pretty much aware of the project they are supporting and its potential.

Well deserved for a hard working player.

Barroca marks 10th year with Magnolia by signing fresh, three-year deal

That's 3 years of contract, this is definitely the kind of contract Manuel is looking, hopefully he will get sign soon.

Edit:
bet for today, Blazers -4.5 @2.02 vs Kings

Ayun, tumama ka na rin, baka start na ng winning streak mo yan bro.. sabi nila pag ganyan swerte daw.. kaya follow ko ang bet mo bukas, abangan ko yan. haha.. Congrats bro.

Salamat bro, sa wakas nanalo na rin. Tailing me is dangerous hehehe, pero kung susundan mo ako walang problema.

May malaking balita pala sa NBA kanina, hindi ko man lang namalayan, Nets na pala si Harden.

Ano masasabi mo sa trade na yan bro? Magkasundo kaya sina Irving at Harden?

7W - 16L (standing)

Tingnan nalang natin anong magiging resulta, pero kung magkakasundo sila, tiyak malaki chance ng nets na mag champion.. kahit sino sa tatlo na yan pwedeng umiskor, kaya di pwedeng in double ang isa diyan dahil maging open naman ang isa. Sana lang walang magiging problema sa chemistry nila.

Mukhang di umobra, tayo si @bisdak40 sa bet niya sa GSW, nanalo ang Denver Nuggets. 104-114.. 10 points ang lamang.

Good luck nalang sa bet para bukas..

Maiba tayo, dami sigurong ma postpone na games dahil sa covid-19.. may mga players daw na nag positive, narinig ko lang sa radio kanina.

I hate going totals with the 76ers, glad my bet is done with - had them FH -5.5.  I run into the same issue with the Celtics and totals.
What's wrong with the 76ers totat? Sometimes they scored low, sometimes they scored high.

That's the norms of the game it's very unpredictable, and I'm telling you, even if you use some statistics, it will still not guarantee anything.
2998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: January 15, 2021, 06:14:53 AM
Still very expensive, this is just an exhibition fight, Logan Paul is not a known boxer, I really doubt they'll get their target sales here.

No doubt about that. The Logan Paul vs Olajide Olayinka Williams (KSI) match was priced at £7.50 in the United Kingdom and $9.99 in the United States. This one is also an exhibition match, and it is priced at manytimes that amount. I agree that Mayweather still commands a sizable fan following, but charging this much for a match involving an amateur is a bit unfair in my opinion.

I believe there are early stage of sale and they will evaluate if the sale is good, if not then they will eventually drop the price, maybe we don't buy yet if we are interested on this fight, wait until the price drop, and then you'll get a cheaper price... I don't know if it's possible but it just came into my mind as I really don't believe this fight should be valued that high for a PPV.

Let's make it simple, all you need to do is just to earn merits to rank up, question is how do you earn those merits, what are your approach?

You can try hard and harder, but it does not guarantee you'll earn merits as merits are just given by members and they could not see your hard work. So what I suggest is be true to yourself, just take it easy, don't think of ranking up more, instead, contribute on your own way and be more active.

It seems to me that right now the price of doge is overpriced and it is better to sell and then buy it if the price goes down
On that, we have different interpretation on the current price, it could be overpriced or underpriced, depending on how we see it TBH. Some even think that bitcoin is overprice at the moment while some think there's still an opportunity to buy so we can ride of the next pump.
