3001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: October 23, 2021, 09:46:16 PM
I don't believe this yet...  I'd love to see it.  I'd put Mike Tyson up against any human being on earth when it comes to boxing and feel confident Mike has a chance.  Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but he's the baddest man on the planet.

Yeah, one of the baddest mofo during his prime years. He can take out anyone with just a single punch.

Logan has quite a bit of size on him and obviously youth, but Mike isn't like Logan.  He comes from a place of pain and I don't think Logan is going to come out of it with his consciousness in tact.  Sucks to see it's an exhibition and there will probably be all sorts of rules to discourage knockouts, but Mike is a monster. 

You mean height advantage? But Tyson is a heavyweight and still in the best shape so I just he still has that advantage in this fight. I'm thinking that this maybe another rig exhibition fight for Tyson? Possibly another draw and no knock out. There were judges in his fight against Roy Jones Jr, but it ended up in draw, lol, to the surprise of the betting public.
3002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: October 23, 2021, 09:08:09 PM
Yes sir, we finally have a date, It will be November 27.

Quote
Unified Lightweight Champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) will finally make his maiden title defense of his WBA, IBF, WBO, and The Ring belts against George Kambosos Jr (19-0, 10 KOs) at Hulu Theater, Madison Square Garden, New York, on Saturday, November 27 – live worldwide and exclusively on DAZN.

https://www.boxingscene.com/lopez-vs-kambosos-made-official-november-27-hulu-theater-dazn--161397

It's like just over a month from today, so everyone get ready for this fight as there are a lot of fireworks just by looking at the history of trash talk between the two.

So far no odds yet, however, sport bookies has still a lot of time to list this fight.

The initial betting line shows the Lopez is a 6-1 favourite to win this fight against George Kambosos.

This is similar to the odds of Herring (champion) vs Stevenson at 8-1 odds currently.

So again, for those who loves to put money on the underdog because of a bigger pay but bigger risk, maybe this match will be a good one again. Lopez is good but Kambosos is also very touch and durable fighter and has earn his right to be a mandatory for Teofimo's belt. So let's see if the odds are going to swing as the fight gets closer.

Swartzman v Brooksby in the semi, that should be a cracker, Brooksby is playing
great and is slight favourite for this match, on Sportsbet he is 1.67 to 2.17 for Diego.

I am really unsure as to who to bet on, Brooksby has beaten everyone so far in 2
sets but Swartzman is playing with confidence here Huh

In the other final I have Sinner to beat Harris...

Well Diego Schwartzman is a clay player but is a much more experienced one as well. While Brooksby is really young but has a strange way of hitting the ball even Djokovic lost the first set to him trying to figure out how to play against him. I would go with Brooksby in this match.

That's true Brooksby has somewhat of a weird playstyle in my opinion. As he plays an unorthodox style, he can make his opponent sweat for those points. As most of the players are used to playing against a certain type of playstyle. Even the legendary Djokovic couldn't figure out what to do about that. I think I will go for Schwartzman, vs Sinner in the finals.

Well it will be either v Sinner in the final, Sinner was fairly impressive today
against Harris who was also performing quite well, very few unforced errors
on both sides, TBH I can see Sinner winning outright at this stage.

and Swartzman has the first set 6-4.

He is a semi finalist here for the last 2 years so like Sinner this court seems
to suit him.

Maybe the first time that we have seen the first and second seed facing each other in the finals for any tournament (I could be wrong).

Schwartzman is really tearing this tournament as he defeated Brooksby and same with Sinner vs Harris.

All the totals are in the under, amazing, semis not getting into a 3rd and final set.

So yeah, (2) Schwartzman vs (1) Sinner hard to predict but I will go with Sinner to win.

This is so alarming for the LA Lakers, they lose again and it's not even a competitive game.

They had a run in the 4th quarter but it was never enough to get close and had a chance to win the game.
More adjustment is necessary, they can't just keep losing and make an excuse telling people that they are still adjusting.

Congrats to the Phoenix, they have proven that they are still intact and remain a good team.

I would say it's alarming indeed, not with the chemistry, but with the AD and Dwight scuffle.

They already veterans and have been in this league, what makes AD pushed Dwight here?

Yes, it's frustrating to see another lost for the Lakers but it's against a tough team in the West. Not really sure if Vogel is on top of the situation right now.
3005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 6 ALTCOINS THAT ARE SET TO EXPLODE IN 2022! MAJOR CRYPTO NEWS TODAY! on: October 23, 2021, 10:51:06 AM
My six favorite altcoins right now are:

Yape
REF
NEAR
Aloha
0xMR
SPELL
Very different from me, because I still really like the coins as below:
1. BTC
2. ETH
3. BNB
4. Cardano
5. Solana
6. Matic

Because for me they all have shown a very positive performance this year

This is a very safe bet, as most of them are really having a good pump this year alone.

And hopefully they can continue it in 2022, but we all know how unpredictable this market is, maybe next year we are going to be in the bear market. So it's better to really stick to this coins, which are solid and if ever we goes into a bear market and the price of this coins goes down hard, time to be a bagholder and wait for the next bull cycle.

Re Murray, yes it was a close second set to go to the tie break. Look everyone knows
Murray is not going to win a grand slam or possibly any tournament. He can compete
generally up to R3 depending on who he meets.

Yeah, he can still play the game as this point of his career, although the chances of winning a slam is silm to none.

It also has to be said that Swartzman had a good game also, Diego can be unpredictable
a lot of the time with his results, yesterday happened to be a good day for him.

Diego Schwartzman still amazes me many times, I agree that he is unpredictable, yes he can reach round of 32 or 16 and after that, I have witnessed how he crumble on the pressure and lost bigger games. But in the last 2-3 tournaments, he looks very solid again. I won't bet against him in the future, Lol.
3007  Economy / Speculation / Re: Some of my insights on the market on: October 22, 2021, 10:59:43 PM
I think that in 5 months, if Bitcoin does not have a major correction, then Bitcoin will eventually remain at 70k~90k. If it is corrected, Bitcoin will go to a higher position. It is unimaginable. I think the bull market will be 4 ~5 monthsIt's over , anyone is ready for the last carnival of the bull market

Not sure when is the bull run be over. We still have the December prediction of 6 digits and then we will see how it goes. Just imagine though, it we reached $150k this December and then corrected to $75k, it bitcoin still a failure? Lol, that is still big price in my opinion and we will never thought that we can even reach $60k already.

Of course, if you have experience the last bear market, then by now, you know you to prepare yourself of the imminent bearish trend.
3008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 22, 2021, 07:36:20 PM
^ Yes and I think Casimero understands that, so he took the fight even with a small paycheck because a win here could bring him a lucrative payday against Inoue.
He took the fight because he has no choice, that's the reality.
If he will not fight for this mandatory match, he will have to give up his belt and he will no longer be a champion.

So I don't understand why people says the deserves more in this fight, this is mandatory, so it's under the governing rule of WBO even the purse of $100k. So there's nothing shady about it, just that we are surprised by the amount of money, but in any case still good in the pocket for Casimero.
He deserves a better amount of money to receive, it's just that the bid is too low and no one bids higher than the initial bid so the total pot is just very small. Some mandatory fights I think even have a million-dollar pot or more.

Depends on what promotional company is interested on the fight and the weight class. Because the lower it is (where Casimero campaigns), the lower the purse initially. This could be a million pot if Casimero will fight a name fighter as mandatory, but in this case, we haven't heard Butler name until this time.

Mandatory fights that are worth millions are those probably from 130 lbs and up. Specially in 147 lbs welterweight division, wherein all fights are really good.
3009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 22, 2021, 06:59:46 PM
Unfortunately Murray lost in straight sets to Schwartzman, the second set was tighter with a tie break, it is undeniable that he will more difficult to compete with young players if the previous matches have been very draining.

Yeah, he was really close though in the first specially in the second, he could have pull a miracle again in that tie-break.

Today I have 4 bets at wta moscow quarterfinals are all over 19.5, just my predictions all matches will be tight maybe three sets or at least one set will go through tie break.

Goodluck mate, I haven't really bet on the WTA Moscow. More on looking at the Antwerp Open.

Currently Brooksby vs Fokina I have this match Over 21.5

Same with the Sinner vs Harris, thinking this can go to 3 sets Over 22.5

We are now reaching the bar of 13000 coins on Coinmarketcap,
I wonder out of that number how many tokens/coins you know are really real case use of blockchain and tokens futuristic capabilities? I think i heard of only one that is building now.

How much more Tokens can the industry welcome without succumbing to it's own lack of interest.
100 meme coins a week can only take us so far in the seriousness of this industry.

Do you have your way to find any relevancy in such a cloud of crap?

I think we have reach the pinnacle in 2017 already, when there has been a lot of projects that has somewhat change the course of many industries, like medicine and pharma, supply chain and logistics and others.

But after that all coins or projects become crap, and it has a bad effect on those projects that has real life usage because investors stay away. As we all know the bulk of upcoming projects is pure shit (hence shitcoin) and then for p&d scheme.
3011  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's new All Time High (ATH) has been reached this year again (X2) on: October 21, 2021, 07:24:54 PM
Touching a new ATH is not surprising to me because the new ATH was nearby the previous ATH. I am expecting one more ATH which should be above $70K. But it was pretty surprising to me that all of the alt coins did not follow the Bitcoin trend.  I am assuming that the investors are playing with Bitcoin and did not concentrate it on altcoin. Most probably if Bitcoin is stable in a zone then investors would move to the altcoin and definitely, altcoin would start to move upward in case Bitcoin does not start the dump. As we know cryptocurrency is dependent on fresh investors so we have to wait and see.

Wise money went into bitcoin market in the last 24 hours, that's why altcoin didn't follow the trend of bitcoin. I think it's good though, at least investors knows where to put their hard earn money. I'm seeing some minor correction though, just normal that after reaching a new all time high, investors are selling to take profit. But yes, $70k is the next big target and hopefully we can reach it this month because the market is still in the bullish sentiments.
3012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: October 21, 2021, 06:37:57 PM
There's already a lot of betting options in this fight from sportsbet.io

Totals:
Over 10.5 -1.46
Under 10.5 2.70

Winner & exact rounds and Winner & round range are also available.

So it's time now to put our bet on this fight, unfortunately, I haven't decided yet, I'm thinking of Herring winning as a underdog, but Shakur Stevenson is also a durable fighter. Totals might be good as Over, but the odds are not that attractive to me.
3013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 21, 2021, 06:15:28 PM
Kemba is not the same anymore, even during his time with the Boston Celtics, he is already inconsistent and that's the reason why he was traded to the Knicks which I think he would do well as there's not much pressure on him compared to when he signed with the Celtics where he was coming from a team that he always leads. Celtics traded him because they weren't satisfied of Kemba's performance, but let's hope we will see the old Kemba in NYK.
Being traded means the player is a dead weight to the team especially when his salary is big enough to acquire young players with potential to grow. Kemba Walker performance is very impressive when he was rookie but this started to slide after a couple of years without any improvement and competition from new players that entering NBA with potential. It's very rare for an old prime player to overcome this period of career low especially on his position. Maybe joining on low tier team can improve his career stat just like what other players did and wait for a star player to carry that team.

So much true, Kemba was a prolific young talent as a rookie. But as the years passed on, not saying that he started playing worse, but there were other young talents better than him. Last season was somewhat ok for him as he scored an avg of 19 points a game and as a point guard that's quite good in my eyes. Let's see how he does with the Knicks.

That's why he was traded to the Celtics last year because his value is going down. And true, when he was in Celtics uniform, his performance is below to what we expect of him. And then he got injured near playoffs if I'm not mistaken and he was a non-factor as the Celtics was eliminated in the first round. He might be in a good team this year, but I'm not sold on him playing like his days on Hornets, I think that day is over now because of the wear and tear on his body.
3014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 21, 2021, 10:04:21 AM

As always, bookmakers favor the champion. However, I think there is really no favorite in this fight. Sure Crawford is undefeated, but that doesn't mean the good streak never ends. Personally, in my opinion, both of them have equal chances, but as I usually like supporting underdogs, I think I'll bet a few bucks on Porter.
In a fight everyone has the punchers chance to win the fight, but there is a reason for Terence Crawford having an undefeated record, he faced some of the top boxers in the world and his most impressive wins were against Amir Khan, Kell Brook and José Benavidez Jr and those were comprehensive victory with knockouts, Shawn Porter will be another one like the ones Terence Crawford faced and it will be another victory for him if he display the same level of skills.

I won't consider his wins against Khan (way past his prime, china chin), and Kell Brook (way past his prime, soul taken by GGG, broken orbital bone) an impressive win, Benavidez Jr, I will give him credit, but he is not even in the top 5 of the best welterweight.

That's why we have been saying that this is the first time that Crawford will be stepping up the competition, Porter is a legitimate 147 lbs fighter and an ex-champion. So he will be tested in this fight and if he win, we will give full credit.

Well said, this is one of the toughest fights of Crawford and there have been many critics on him that he cherry-picks an opponent to stay undefeated and have an easy win. This time, I know it's gonna be hard for Crawford to fight a very aggressive fighter who can pressure him all night and if they don't prepare for the style of Porter and underestimate him, then I think we will witness an upset in the fight night.

Odds are really high for Porter 5.20 currently, so style makes fight, and this is a classic example.

Cherry-picks means picking a fighter that will show you strength and that's what we have seen throughout Crawford's career, a fighter can be undefeated but it doesn't mean a thing, maybe all he defeated in the past has a bad record. And that's why I said I will give full credit for Crawford for fighter a boxer like Porter and outside of his comfort zone in Top Rank.
3015  Economy / Speculation / Re: New All Time High Baby! on: October 20, 2021, 05:24:16 PM
Yes It happened. 2nd ATH in an year. Really awesome and its yes marching towards another ATH very soon and not really late than this December 2021. A lot chances for reaching $90k this year end?

Yeah, with the way bitcoin is moving right now, chances are we are going to hit $90k or eve higher as everyone expects at least $100k this December.

I can just recollect the days since 2016 I came in at $350 to $500. Really proud to be travelling along with BTC in all ups and downs with my investment on it. Wish to see other crypto currencies do reach their ATH in a week or two following BTC's growth.

It's been a journey for majority of us, not really an easy road to take to hold on our dear bitcoin for many years and been tempted to sell off specially in the bear market of 2018. But hey we are still here and now realising our gains and our dreams together with bitcoin's growth.
3016  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: October 20, 2021, 04:37:01 PM
The most exciting time of this year and waiting to see that a long time. Bitcoin is already proven that it has that potential for creating history again. Hope it will break soon again and another ATH will be recorded. Expecting more in near future.

It's nice to see such a scene where you won't really know that it will gonna happen again especially when it was only more than $40k+ last few weeks and now it's making another ATH where it has never stopped yet and potentially could go even higher than this. I think just by the end of this month, we will see A max ATH again or a higher price that would make it stable at the top about $70k to $80k+.

Or <$30k a few months after that. So waking up, in whatever timezone you are and seeing a new all time high? Priceless. I just show my wife the current price and she was shock to see that we hit a new all time high. So we are still on track of the 6 digits target this December. And probably if we hit $70k this month, the FOMO will spill till November when we have another big news that is coming - Taproot rolling out. So everything is good right at this point and next month.

I have only briefly looked into the Moscow tournament and decided to go with 1 bet in Antwerp, Harris to beat Bergs. I only have a small amount of Satoshis to play with without loading my account....again.

Those look like good bets Timelord!

One of my pics has been cancelled ( Ekaterina Alexandrova Vs Ons Jabeur ) while another matchup is underway at the moment.  ( Anastasia Potapova Vs Simona Halep (and it's not looking good for Anastasia Potapova )).  I don't know why, but I thought all five of those matches would have been played already, however, three won't be played for many hours yet.

In the meantime...

  • A. Kalinskaya/A. Potapova @ 1.65 - Taken Amount: 0.05 mBTC - Possible Payout: 0.08 mBTC

Which is due to start any minute now.   Grin

How's the result though? sorry I haven't check the score as of late as I'm into other sports betting.

There's also the Antwerp Belgium mens single? anyone betting? lots of familiar name as well and some of our favourites are in this tournament.

Murray vs Schwartzman, weird it's Murray that is now the odds favourite to win @1.82 ML vs Diego's @1.95.
3019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 20, 2021, 10:11:01 AM
I haven't watched the whole Lakers vs GSW game, but the Lakers lost. It's not that the Lakers were missing something except a small chemistry and missed free throws and turnovers, but it's the GSW has been once again spectacular this year. A lot of guys has been improving, Jordan Poole was the most notable player who has greatly improved. They're once again surrounded with a lot of shooters, can both do damage from inside the paint or beyond the arc.

I hope to see a dangerous GSW again and reclaim their spot in the playoffs.

Also noticed the contribution of Iguodala who had a good game contributing 12 points from 4-7 shooting. I think as a veteran of the team, he can be a big help for the GSW to be better this season, and this GSW is playing without Thompson yet, so they are already scary at the current state. We also cannot miss the contribution of Bjelica, he is very effective having a double-double in his first game as a warrior.
He is comfortable playing with the GSW as they never change the system, unlike with the Miami Heat (his previous team), I think Iggy has a chance to have another ring before he will formally retire. I'm happy for him and I hope he will remain healthy throughout the season as he is very useful to the team especially on their defensive side.

Yeah, nothing has change, Iggy is familiar with Steve Kerr's system and there is no adjustment for him. He feels relax that's why in his first game alone he has a good contribution.

Although after the game, Curry said that he has a bad game, still he has a double double. Talking about bad games. But Jordan Poole is the difference here, he has tremendously improve his game and could be part of the Splash brothers when Klay comes back this season.
3020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 18, 2021, 05:39:21 AM
...so if he is upset about the small amount of money he can earn out of this fight then this is entirely his fault.
No one is at fault here, Casimero is just doing his job as a boxer, he is willing to fight anyone but it's just unfortunate that the fighters he challenged did not accept his challenge on paper, they just respond that the fight will happen but they did not sign any contract.

I agree, and if didn't accept it, then he will be strip of the belt. And if you are not a champion anymore, then offers might not come because you have to work your way up again.

So even if the money is small, Casimero will have to accept and agree with the fight because it is the mandatory defense of his belt. Just baby and small steps though, if he wins then obviously the biggest pay check against Inoue is waiting for him.
