3001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Ioka Dec 31 on: December 14, 2021, 11:26:12 PM
That’s the consequences they have to face on postponing this match and that’s fine for the defending champion because he can have more time to prepare and have a good trainings to defend his title and stay longer with it. We know that Japan is too strict with this, not unless they do this match on other country with a lesser restriction, this might push through early next year.
They can’t just change the venue easily, it will cost them huge money as well and beside Ioka is a Japanese so this might be the reason why they choose that location. Let’s deal with this since they already postponed the match and what to do next is to stay fit and active, stay focus and never get distracted by this delay. Ancajas has the advantage on this since he can still have more time to train because he is defending a huge title on his belt.
It is true that most likely this is not an easy thing to do, but if the fight is delayed for too long it will have to be canceled or they will have to change the venue of the fight, and I suppose that canceling the fight should be even more costly, after all we must understand that in order to reach top shape boxers need a full team of specialists working for them 24/7, and if there is no fight then this means all of those expenses would have been for nothing.
Oh well, if the fight is going to be cancelled then so be it. I mean this fighters have been training already when the news come out that it will be postponed because of Japan's health protocol. And so it is not sure when the fight will happen next year or not. If Ancajas will have another offer, then I would say grab it and win and then he can go back to Ioka again.
3002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 14, 2021, 11:04:10 PM
Another bet I'm taking is the Houston Rockets +11, the Rockets have been impressive recently and I believe they're being underrated with +11 spread l, even though the Hawks are doing well, I think Rockets should cover this line.

Houston +9.5, it's a better odds for now 1.93 so I will take this one as well.

Houston is playing very well in the last 9 games and winning 7 of them. And they usually a 4th quarter team bursting if they are trying to play catch up and then maintain if they have a good lead.
Good luck to everyone

That was some match, wasn't it ?

Houston Rockets trailed by double digits for most period of the entire match, but that run they made in the 4th Quarter was surreal, D.J. Augustin and Gordon had a really great time.

I wish I threw some bucks on the ML as well.

That was a good win for the Rockets, was thinking they could only cover the spread since it was +10, but actually, they don't need it anymore because they beat the home team and snap their losing streak. Congrats to those who bet on them with a sweet ML.
Yep, Rockets is no more a losing team (although they are still below .500), but at least they have put a string of victories and it seems they have find the chemistry already.

Nets -5.5 for me against the Raptors, I think they can easily covered this spread if Durant will have a monster game again. He can do it against Toronto.
3003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 14, 2021, 02:03:30 PM
Although the Warriors don't have an excellent squad (only Curry for me is a high level player), the GSW is playing very well, the team has chemistry and they are winning most of the games.... Unlike the Lakers, who unfortunately , having one of the best squad in the NBA today, he is still fighting for a playoff spot, with much lower performance than expected (I only did a GSW vs Lakers comparison)

If Klay Thompson returns like he was before and have chemistry with others players, I have no doubt the Warriors could be one of the favorites for this season's NBA title.

For now, we see only Stephen Curry doing the main job which is to help the team get wins by a huge performance. In the absence of Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors have been depending on Curry nearly all the time. This is not very healthy for a team in NBA. Because if your star player gets injured, you will start having enormous problems to deal with. So I hope the rumours turn out to be true and we can see Klay Thompson starting to play officially.
What do you expect? When Curry doesn't score that much, usually GSW losses. But when he is hot, then chances are they are going to win. But the win against the Pacer is very close. It not for that Looney miracle follow up, we might see an OT game and Curry might tie or break the record of Ray Allen. But in any case, he can still achieved it next game against the Knicks.
3004  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your opinion on recent bull market, will it be over soon? on: December 13, 2021, 11:19:12 AM
Really hard to predict, but if we end this year without getting over $50k, we might be in the bear market and this bull run is over. As the new cycle will reappear 2022-2024, I don't want to sound to be loom and doom but we have to accept the fact and be ready for a long bearish trend. On the other hand, if you are for the long term, then once bitcoin goes down hard it will be a perfect opportunity to fill our bags again and wait till the next halving.
3005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: December 13, 2021, 10:35:22 AM
It was Lomachenko all the way it's what we expect if Lomachecnko is not in injury, the speed is still there, I saw on Commey's face the frustration, he has a lot of misses if this is the Lomachecnko that will fight Lopez again, he'll be in big trouble after the Haney - Kambosos fight if it's going to happen, the winner of that match should fight Lomachecnko, he deserves to be a contender after his last two fights.

Kambosos is a very good next opponent for him, but it depends in both of their promoters. Most of the time, it doesn't depend on the boxers, but their respective promoters. Also, the purse split matters in their decision, and to add also the venue. So after this Loma's recent fight, we will see next year, who's next for him. If not Kambosos, Haney/Davis/Garcia are on the list, I believe.
Loma said post fight that he is willing to fight Kambosos anywhere. So with that, it's up to the manager of George, maybe this time it will be 50/50 split since Kambosos is the champion now.

This is the best fight for Loma because Kambosos has the belt that Loma once had and he wants to get it back. And then he go can talk about Haney/Davis/Garcia next.
3006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: December 13, 2021, 09:51:49 AM
And who wouldn't want to see this great fight?

GGG will be tested again by a tough Japanese fighter who is a champion in his own. But covid-19 intervene again and so all we can do is really want for the Japanese government to ease their travel restrictions as this fight will not be move to any countries. And then maybe we can start to speculate again but obviously GGG is the fight favorite amongst us boxing fans.

I don't see a fight getting postponed as it will likely get cancelled eventually. GGG could find another opponent if he sees there's money on it, and I really like to see him fight again as he has been inactive for awhile.
He has beaten everyone in the Middleweight division so who's left for him except champions like Murata or maybe one of the Charlo brothers. But that is if Charlo wanted a piece of GGG right now because it seems they have been avoiding him for quite some time now. So I guess it's better for GGG to really target Murata and wait for the fight to be available.
3007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 13, 2021, 09:21:12 AM
Speaking of KD, nobody talking about the 51 piece he put up tonight?

Yes, because we are not surprised anymore, he is a great player and he can drop that numbers anytime. Durant is now the leading candidate for MVP, I must say based on my observation, and as he continues to play impressive basketball, there's a huge chance that he'll win the award. Brooklyn are really a good 4th quarter team, 30-13, that's the dominance they have.
Him, Curry and Giannis and to a certain extent Joel Embid is putting MVP numbers.

I really thought that the Pistons will take this one from them, but damn, they played really good defense in the fourth with Durant exploded.

And that's what have been missing for them, that fourth quarter closed out. And now it seems they've found their rhythm.
3008  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Finally Climbs Back Above $50k, but can it Remain there? on: December 11, 2021, 06:53:55 AM

I don't know why such analysis if Bitcoin can remain at above $50,000, should be the main concern.
It's because $50k is the biggest barrier right now, so that number is critical, and for us to remain in the bullish sentiments, we need to go past that and maintain.

With the volatile market, we can always expect that there's always an attempt for a downtrend even amid a strong dominance and we already witnessed that many times. For speculators, a close to $100,000 is always what they wanted but this dip reminds us that we can't expect a continuous bullish trend for long. It's good for those who think who are left behind as the opportunity to buy at the dip is now a long wait.
You are right the market is very volatile that's one nature of bitcoin. However, we didn't expect a big downtrend as historically December has been very bullish. And there are even projections and speculations that $100k can be achieved, hence S2F modelling become well known in the bitcoin space.
3009  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: December 11, 2021, 06:10:35 AM
That's too much for Canelo, the height difference matters also and with Fury, no chance Canelo or GGG would win as even Wilder who is a heavy hitter cannot completely KO Fury.

Height matters but in boxing, as long as you fighting within the same weight, the shorter one has the advantage. Pacquiao and Mayweather is the best proof of that. Canelo is known for his expertise in swing defense. It was so fast that he can make a counter while his opponent is still waiting for their punching stance to come back.

But talking about Canelo vs Fury or Wilder is not a topic for now. It won't happen by any chances until there's a rumor.

If Canelo is successful in Cruiserweight then he might stay there for a while, but yeah, him moving to Heavies? not gonna happen.

Maybe if he can move like Usyk, very fast and technical, maybe he can upset some heavyweight that are slow, but with the likes of Fury who is very fast even at a height of 6'6++ it's hard to see Canelo dealing with that disadvantage.
3010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FUDS started against Bitcoin as asusual on: December 11, 2021, 03:50:27 AM
Don't be surprised though, people are going to create FUD whether we are in a bullish and bearish trend. And you have to understand where they are coming from, (a) investors who want to see the price goes down so that they can buy cheap BTC (b) perma bears (c) perma bears on the front, but from behind, they are secretly buying BTC (d) those who just want to destroy BTC no matter what. But if you are a wise investors, then you know when to take advantage when the price dip or when to listen or not to his FUDs.

^^ What happened to the Hornets vs Kings game? I thought that it will go into OT, because the last time I check the score it was 123 all with seconds to go? And then Hornets win by just one?

Phoenix vs Boston - I think the Suns will start a new winning streak, -3.5 handicap can be easily covered. Tough to decide between the Bucks and Rockets, Houston is riding a winning streak of their own, but against Giannis who wants to bounce back from his poor performance last outing.
3012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: December 10, 2021, 02:49:02 PM
Damn, this fight is canceled due to Casimero's medical condition. Have not seen the official announcement yet but unfortunately, this fight will not push through and Paul Butler will get a new opponent, Joseph Agbeko I think will be the replacement fighter.

Wow, I never thought that this could end this way, karma for Casimero for all the trash-talking to Inoue  Grin?
Wait what? after a long wait? It's really disappointing and sad to hear the news. Wishing John Riel a speedy recovery. Hopefully the WBO will not stripped him because of his medical condition, he just need to show cause to the organization.

So I guess there's no more speculation and this thread might be close for good now by the OP.

<...>
Does waiting to get on a machine that gets heavily played a legit strategy?  Does it make more sense to play different types of machines or play one machines for a long period of time? Etc etc..

I've seen this kind of strategy in movies but I've never tried it in person. But when we are going to talk about the slot's algorithm, then yes, winning the jackpot could be achieve in a slot machine that is heavily played during a certain day. However, we don't know when and where is the right slot that you should play to win big amount of money.

In the end of the day, it's still about luck.
Nah, I don't think this is a good strategy as slot machines is based on RNG and not if the machine is hot or not. And even if it is not being used, it is continue running it's RNG in the background.

For me, if one machine is not paying me and I've played like $100, then I will I will switch to the next machine that I like to play. Until I find the perfect machine that will give me my lucky bonus or spin.
3014  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: December 09, 2021, 03:25:54 PM
For those who have thought for a long time that they have lost by trading Bitcoin, the last few days have been a good one due to ATH. The day Bitcoin's highest price rose. I think every investor has succeeded that day. We are going to see one another ATH with in few days that can over $70000.
Since touching the All Time High at the level of $68k in early November, currently the bitcoin price has experienced a significant correction where the price dropped to the level of $51k, which indicates that the bitcoin market is in a bearish trend. Therefore, for the rest of the year bitcoin price will find it difficult to cross the $70k price level.
After briefly rising to a price level of $51k, today bitcoin has experienced a correction of almost 0.36% and has made the bitcoin price at the current $49k level, it seems that in december we will see the price of bitcoin play at a price level of $47-$53 due to movement What's happening is bearish, now it seems that many investors are starting to shift their assets to other crypto which is more stable after negative news about the emergence of a new virus spreads and scares many people.
And sadly, the price continues it's downward trend as it touches $48k, we are not into $48,200 and very dangerous levels again as it might break the support around the price.

If that happens then we might see a bearish trend for December which is very unfortunate since historically, we always end very strong at every year even in a bearish 2018-2019. So let's see if this price will continue to go on a spiral path or hold at $48k and then bounce back again to $50k.
3015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin investment on: December 09, 2021, 11:40:38 AM
Short-term investments are better if you immediately try coins like Ethereum, Binance Coin and Polygon (MATIC). In the past few weeks, Polygon has been moving very well and I think it is suitable for short-term investment. However, if you want to also try investing in NFT, try studying ENJIN or TEZOS.
I disagree though, coins like BTC, ETH, BNB and Matic should be for long term hold because they are a strong coins.

NFT's are just hype this year so I guess you can profit big short term but you have to be very careful as well as you might be trap if you continue to hold and be greedy. And that is the problem with beginners here in the altcoin market, they chooses coin for short term and hope to have huge dividends. However, when the money is there, they don't want to cash out and want more and often times those coins are suddenly going to experience huge dumps. And profits goes out the window for good.
3016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: December 09, 2021, 10:53:03 AM

The question is, did Novak Djokovic take the jab or not? If yes then good for him, but at least he should show proof for tennis media so that we are 100% sure of that and not that the Australian organizers has just given the top seed a favor here because it will not be fair for the other players.

And I'm sure that we are not going to ridicule Djokovic for changing his stance about not taking the vaccine, on the contrary we are going to appreciate what he has done, follow the safety protocols because majority of us has had vaccines.

Nobody is above the law, even not Djokovic. So if the Australian Open asks that all players will be vaccinated, than all players will be vaccinated, no exceptions at all. There are already multiple news media that have confirmed that Djokovic will participate so he has taken the vaccine shot.

I know but I'm just laying down the scenarios here because Djokovic has insisted in the past that he won't get the vaccine for whatever reasons.

And then he suddenly chance his mind because of AO? Yes AO organizers are asking all players including Djokovic to be vaccinated in order to participate but can Djokovic says that he did take the vaccine already and that is OK for the organizers? So hopefully he can go the public and make an official announcement, just saying.
3017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: December 09, 2021, 09:26:42 AM
Does anyone already have information about the betting odds of this fight?

This fight is scheduled on the same day Casimero's fight with Butler, and we already have betting odds on that fight.
So, I'm thinking now, maybe this fight will not happen on the scheduled date?

please correct me if I'm wrong.

The last time Casimero fought, that was against Rigo, Stake listed the fight 2 days before the actual date if I remembered it right.

There are also lots of questions back then if gambling sites will list Casimero vs Rigo since no update when the date is now getting close. They think Casimero vs Rigo is not a big market but they ended up wrong as most gambling sites listed the fight a few days before their fight.

If we refer to that, we can assume that others here are right that it will only be listed on crypto-sportsbook at least 1 or 2 days before the fight and that will be on December 9.
Because of no announcement with the day and this match is not that a hype, we can’t see the odds right away but hopefully they can have it right before the match since we all want to place a bet and support our boxer. Yes, Donaire will have a match same day with Casimero I don’t know if the venue is also the same since Donaire is facing a Filipino boxer as well while Casimero is not.

It's weird though, the Casimero vs Butler has odds already, but this one is absent?

I think it has more hype that the Casimero fight as both Nonito and Raymart has the belt and this one is to settle who will be the regular WBC belt champion.

This is disrespect to Donaire at least, who is still one of the best boxers even if he is already old.

Hopefully sport bookies are going to put on the odds on his.

You can already find the betting odds in betja - https://betja.com/sport/boxing/world-fights-318137/nonito-donaire-v-reymart-gaballo-10923

Donaire vs Gaballo : 1.29 vs 4.10, so Donaire is indeed the favorite here. I have played on this bookie and withdrew without a problem, so for those who don't want to wait from other bookies, they can try this site.

Finally, we see the odds already. 

I can't believe I'm seeing very attractive odds for Gaballo, so those who believe that an old Donaire may lose here, this is your chance to take Gaballo with a sweet 4.10 odds. Thanks @24Kt for sharing the odds.

Yeah, it was a good odds indeed, I just saw it as well in sportsbet, but for unknown reasons, all fights this weekend suddenly disappear again, maybe they are fixing the odds or something.

In any case, we have seen underdogs winning or at least extending the fight to 12 rounds like in Davis vs Cruz and then maybe upset of the year Kambosos vs Lopez.

So who knows, maybe this will turn out to be Donaire's last fight as he gets old overnight.

^^ But still we should give credit to Houston, they have the longest streak now in the West with 7 wins, followed by the Jazz with 5.

The Nets though started lackluster here and allowed the Rockets to build a solid lead and although they've comeback and cut the lead to single digits, they were able to sustain that lead. 6 Players scoring double digit? that is a balance attack from them and then 8, 6, 6 for the next three players so that is huge contribution everywhere.
3019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 09, 2021, 05:32:34 AM
Cavs are a good 3 point shooting team specially at home, so him and Love could at least make 2 or more three's in this game. And it will be a battle between Vucevic and Mobley in the middle.
One problem, Mobley has Allen on his back, unlike Vucevic without anyone. He will be exhausted in this game or worse be in foul trouble forcing to get the rebound. This Cleveland team is not to mess with when their twin towers are both healthy.
So, I agree with you both and will be taking the -2.5 for the Cavaliers.

I'll add another for the Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 versus the Miami Heat. We all saw how bad the Heat are now even with Butler coming back and they even lose against the Grizzlies without Ja Morant.
Now without Bam, they are having a difficult time protecting the rim.

I lost my props on the over, damn. In any case, I only got the -2.5 spread, I think Lonzo played in this game. It was close in the beginning, but the Cavs started to pull ahead and never look back. Not sure how many blocks Mobley got but he did good against Vucevic

The Bucks though lost to the Miami Heat, Giannis has a quiet 15 points, and then the Heat was phase by Caleb Martin and Lowry.
3020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: December 08, 2021, 11:59:02 PM
Gerry Peñalosa said that Magsayo is a bad match-up for Gary Russell Jr.

Read the full story.
Gary Russell Jr. a bad matchup for Mark Magsayo, says Peñalosa

Quote
“Russell is way better than Ceja so it cannot be compared. Russell is on a different level stylistically. He has good footwork and hand speed though if he gets hit by Mark he can go down,” he said.

Well,  he has a point, so this is a good challenge for Magsayo to train harder as this is his best shot to win a belt from a champion.
He is still young though... If he loses his career will not end but it's better if he will win this fight.

Not only his stamina has to be improved, but he also needs to improve his boxing skills as he could not be lucky everyday to score a knockout as he did in his previous fight.
Good analysis by Gerry Peñalosa here, yes I do agree that it will be a bad match up for Magsayo.

The foot work alone of Russell might make Mark Magsayo chase him all around and it could affect his strategy because he has to find that opening.

And Gary Russell has a good boxing IQ and good defense as well, so it's going to be difficult for Mark to even corner him so that he can give one power punch. Ceja is more of a brawler while Russell is a technical fighter, and any time a style like that, a technical boxer wins majority of it.
