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.
2982  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.   

2983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: June 01, 2022, 07:23:01 AM


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.

It was a good decision to take a three to win the game at that moment but he made it tough for himself. He took it too quickly even if he's already tired and his teammates weren't set to help in rebound if he misses. It wasn't even a long three but he almost airballed that one. He could have made one more pass  for a little breather and look for a screen.

There are lots of "what if" bro. What if he nailed it? That wrong decision will turn into a good decision, right? The play won't be wrong in the eyes of others since Butler made it. Actually, even some fans may be upset about the decision, it will be a different story if that 3 went it.

The Heat was rallying throughout the game and that was exhausting. Instead of fully blaming Jimmy Butler, blame his other teammates that only wake up in the final minutes like Oladipo and Lowry. If only these guys are red-hot early, Butler won't take much of the load to narrow down the lead.

I believe it's the bettors who blames Jimmy Butler for that quick 3 point shot he didn't made because even in my side, I always hear that he could have pass that ball to others who could make the shot at point blank or he can attack the paint and make the shot and maybe go for an overtime. I was just listening but I said to myself, if only they knew how tired was Jimmy Butler for carrying the team. He played for almost 50 minutes and barely rest in between quarters and time outs while his team are not that consistent.

It was a good play and the Miami Heat still deserves some credits mainly Jimmy Butler because they got to the conference finals.

I agree that people need to stop blaming Jimmy Butler. Yes, it was a bad attempt knowing there was no team mate in position to get the rebound and Jimmy Butler is not really the 3-point guy. But it's Jimmy Butler. He is the main reason why Miami Heat is the top seed in the east. He is the main reason why they reached eastern finals and made a gallant effort to reach the series at maximum game 7.

With the current Miami roster and its consistency, without Jimmy Butler they won't achieve it. In my opinion, they actually over achieved this season. Only Jimmy Butler, Adebayo and an old, injured P.J. Tucker passed the exams.     
2986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 31, 2022, 11:14:17 AM
4. Everybody should want a fight with Poirier since he is ranked 2nd. If there's a guy that has a valid claim for the vacant belt without going thru Oliveira first, it's Poirier. Maybe Poirier-Gaethji for the vacant belt with Oliveira as its mandatory. After this maybe Makachev is next in line. Still, I believe that Makachev needs to fight a top ranked opponent first to earn a title shot.  

Poirier and Gaethji just lost their title fight, why would give them chance to fight for a vacant belt? There are other hungry lions that want to try to put this belt on their waist. If they fight, they will be one step to a title fight. Is it fair? When they recently lost their title fight. About Poirier, he has lost a title fight and has fought Conor, who is more money machine now then a fighter in lightweight. I would not even put him on top8. RDA, Fiziev, Tsarukyan are better than he. Dariush, on a series of 7 wins and never had a title fight. Give his man a chance. Honestly, I am fed up this belt going circles between 4-6 people, and they have title fight.

P.S. I have updated UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Rozenstruik card, take a look please Smiley

Its a mandatory. If they are breaking that because the two just lost.
Couldn't they just start with Islam and Dariush? They both are below the rank with winning streak. They deserve that chance, whoever wins get that chance to fight Olivera for the title. Or they need someone like Khamzat vs Charles so  we'll see if Olivera can still depend on his ground skills.

My point were just based on the current UFC ranking. But personally, I do not agree with challengers that just lost their title shots still ranked at number 1 or 2. Except if those fights were close or controversial that needs rematch. Maybe the UFC saw something special on Poirier and Gaethji. Well, they actually dropped Oliveira on their failed title shots. Those fights were like 50/50 before stopped. I can understand and respect UFC's decision to rank Poirier and Gaethji; 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Shady nga naman talaga ng USDT kahit noon pa. Ayaw pa din nila ilabas sa public mga specific details.

Kahapon naisip ko rin magshift sa BUSD. Pero kanina paggising ko nakita ko mas hindi ata stable ang BUSD. Hanggang ngayon nakita ko hindi pa din tabla ang BUSD sa USD. Although mababa lang naman supply ng BUSD compared sa USDT. At kayang kaya ng Binance mag back up sa kanilang BUSD.

Sinilip ko ngayon Bitfinex. Mataas pa din naman pala daily volume nila at nasa top 10 pa. Sa tagal na ng USDT ay parang sisiw lang din pala nila magkaroon ng 1 is to 1 back up. Unless lately lang nagkaroon ng problema. Pero pwede nga rin affected sa nangyari dun sa Luna.

Those boxes with 15% monthly rate of returns are too tempting. Although their availability are limited in numbers. Are there people here that bought some boxes? I just finished reading nearly all the important points in the terms, policies and conditions. For AML purposes, there's a rollover before withdrawals are allowed. It is 100% on games and 300% for sports betting. Although I am still a regular bettor, I am currently in a discipline mode when it comes to betting amounts. So I cannot buy a lot of those juicy boxes then because of the rollover. Maybe I just need more luck on my bets so I can use the winnings to buy boxes Cheesy   

I always buy these boxes as it is basically free money. The rollover is also not so hard as I always keep playing on the website to gather more BFG tokens. In the past they even had deposit boxes of 100%!

As Babygun said, in the beginning, boxes were a lot better, with BTC, BNB, and with higher rates! At one moment it was hard to buy any, they get sold pretty quickly! I am watching currently available boxes, there's nothing special... at least for my taste!

A 100%? Wow! That's a lot of easy money there. But I guess it's sold-out in seconds or few minutes. 

Maybe those 15% boxes were nothing special with smaller amounts. I was thinking of purchasing boxes worth a thousand dollars. $150 for 30 days is already something special, at least for me. Grin

Right now, there's no more boxes available.

Regarding the swap. Did you guys already tried it? What if I deposit using XRP and then I want to swap it into other coins within BetFury. Is it possible?



 
2989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 31, 2022, 06:03:42 AM
It will be interesting which path Tank Davis will head next. Last weekend was his last fight with Mayweather Promotions (PBC/Showtime). It was noted that Tank before the fight already said that he wanted to decide and control his own career. But lately, Tank mentioned that he might re-sign with Mayweather Promotions. It seems Tank will be getting more money in his next contract as Matchroom (DAZN) also stated that they want Tank in their banner.

I can smell a bid here. Tank thru the years has been built under the PBC umbrella so they might convince the young star to stay. But we cannot deny Matchroom's chances here. DAZN has the deepest pocket and Tank might prefer it. WBC champion Devin Haney is also with Matchroom and DAZN. And if Haney beats Kambosos twice for all the lightweight belts, pretty sure Tank wants a shot at all those belts in just one fight. The last but not the least would be Top Rank and ESPN. The influential Bob Arum managed to bring Kambosos next fights under ESPN.

Personally if I were Tank. I will go with the biggest money and opportunity which is probably with Matchroom and DAZN.

Tournament Finals - Batch-38 Odds

The Finals game 1: Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
- Ito na ang pinakahihintay, ang NBA finals showdown. First time ng Boston Celtics line up ang makarating sa stage na ito habang sagana na sa championship experience ang maraming main players ng GSW including their coach mismo. Kung meron man stats na lamang ang Celtics ay ang kanilang defense at youth. Mahilig ang GSW sa small ball para mabilis at malakas sa offense pero mukhang mas mabibilis itong line up ng Boston.  
  
1. Game venue: San Francisco
Golden State Warriors
Boston Celtics +3.5

So personally I do not want bitcoin to drop that low but if it happens then we will also have the chance to buy more including altcoins. I am considering eth, bnb and then some other few coins that has very high potentials. Sys for example always made it x50 every time the market is bullish period.   

2992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: May 30, 2022, 09:12:24 AM
That's how the bookies sees it, Canelo is still the favorite based on their 2 fights.Obviously he did come from a big lost, but this is not the first time they have fought and he got 1 win from GGG. So the bookies is just about right. Really up to you if you wanted to believed on the initial odds. If you are not then maybe look for other betting options.

Anyhow, for GGG supporters, 3.90 is the best odds you can get in this fight.

Agree with. @3.90 is something you can't usually get to a titleholder and considered a big name in the boxing world regardless if they are in their prime or not. If I remember it right Bivol has @3 odds as an underdog against Canelo and take note he's still in his prime that's why it's just reasonable for GGG to have that decent odds fighting against Canelo.

Personally, I'm considering placing a bet for GGG and will disregard any boxing analysis about his disadvantages or possible flaws. I just feel he will have a good retirement celebration by defeating Canelo in their trilogy match.

That's the early odds? Too high from my 3.0 expectations. And then I realized I bet on Donaire at 4.70. I was so wrong then. Until now, I still cannot imagine how GGG beats Canelo. Hurting him or knocking him out is out of the choices. Because if a light heavyweight KO artist like Kovalev or even Bivol cannot hurt Canelo then how much more if it is an old GGG. We can also consider when Canelo took well GGG's best shots few years ago. And with this version of GGG, Canelo will be the busier fighter and will throw more punches that will make it more difficult for the former to score a decision. So I conclude that my 4.70 bet on Donaire is better than that 3.90 on GGG. At least we already saw Donaire busted Naoya's face. Cheesy

- Unbelievable! Really, really competitive series. Yung mismong laro naghahabol ang Miami Heat pero sa actual stats napaka close pa din talaga ng laro. It is sad na nag-leave ng maaga si P.J. Tucker sa laro. Spo hinted of an injury at di naman talaga inakala ng Heat na umabot pa ng ganito karaming nalaro si Tucker sa playoffs. Bumitaw na ata ang matanda dahil sa iniindang injury. Congratulations sa mga tumalpak.

Miami Heat- Follow my heart na lang muna ako dito. I can understand na favorite pa din talaga Boston Celtics dito. Pero I still bank on the Miami Heat here. They will play at home kaya sana maging mas comfortable sila sa kanilang play. As usual kailangan nilang pwersahin na maging slow pace ang laro. High defense at kung maaari ay zero to very few errors lang talaga. Kaya nila to at sa tingin ko naman they also have bigger hearts than the young Celtics.

Lightweight division is probably the hottest in boxing right now. There are so many good names that can make mega fights. But are they really going to fight each other? Or maybe it is their promoters and networks that can hinder these mega fights. Here's some very important details to ponder on the 5 biggest names in the division.

1. George "Ferocious" Kambosos:
- The Ring, IBF, WBA and WBO champion.
- Promoted by DiBella Entertainment. Lou DiBella doesn't have any exclusive network deal that makes its fighters available to fight anybody.

2. Devin "The Dream" Haney:
- WBC champion.
- Promoted by Matchroom. Exclusive network with DAZN. The good thing about Eddie Hearn is his willingness to work with the other promoters and networks. DAZN has the deepest pocket of all these networks.

3. Gervonta "Tank" Davis:
- Promoted by Mayweather Promotions. Floyd Mayweather is very close and well connected to Al Haymon. Al Haymon owns Premier Boxing Champions. And PBC shows are sealed with contracts to Showtime and Fox.  
 
4. Ryan "KingRy" Garcia:
- Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. Oscar De La Hoya's GBP has an exclusive contract with DAZN.  

5. Vasiliy "The Matrix" Lomachenko
- Regarded by the pundits as the real king of the lightweights. The only fighter that is in The Ring's top 10 pound for pound. Arguably one of the best amateurs ever if not the best. A sure future first ballot Hall of Famer.  
- Promoted by Top Rank. Bob Arum has an exclusive deal with ESPN.
- This proud Ukrainian is on leave due to his active duty in his country. But he remained as WBO's mandatory which he can activate anytime. The easiest guy to negotiate although it also needs TR and ESPN blessings.  
- He is already in his mid 30's so we will expect that the young guns will catch up with him soon.
2998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: May 29, 2022, 05:53:27 AM
Haven't included this fight in my schedule but I did tried to catch the fight minutes ago but i'm late. So the cherry picked Rolly the green robot was smeshed in 6 rounds. Ref should have given that robot another chance so he can taste more of Tank's power shots.

So what's next for Tank? He seemed a good draw. This fight is nonsense to the real hardcore boxing fans. Hopefully it is true that it was his last fight with Floyd Mayweather jr. Maybe Tank has woken up and is ready to decide on things for his own. He mentioned that he is interested on the winner of Kambosos and Haney. And just after his fight, the queen of boxing social media Ryan Garcia said he wants Tank next.

Guys... do you believe the Warriors will be the champions of this NBA season!!?
I believe we will have a huge number of people betting on GSW!

What do you think about this!!!??

If Boston Celtics wins game 7 against Miami, if Marcus Smart's injury is not that bad and there will be no further injury in the team then I believe they will win against GSW. The downside with Miami Heat is their vital players ain't young and most of them are suffering injuries already. Only Adebayo is 100% healthy afaik. Nonetheless, a 100% healthy Boston and Miami should be favored to beat GSW imo. Their defense are superb which is detrimental to GSW.
