3021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: October 30, 2021, 03:21:02 PM
Sultan isn't a famous boxing champion yet in the Philipines so he must take this chance and opportunity to create a good name so more people would support him because that's what he needs as a new boxer. It's an exciting fight and I hope that he would do his best to win his match tomorrow. Lots of people have bet on him which simply means that many people are rooting for him.

Obviously, Pinoys are going to support him no matter what, specially that he is the underdog here, many are going to root for him to win either by decision, and who knows maybe by knock out.

And if he breaks Caraballo and be the next world champion from the Philippines, then it will be another historic feat for the country. Odds now for Sultan is 4.80 after the weigh-in, so definitely, a lot of boxing affionados are giving this kid a chance. Because it swell as high as 5.50 if I'm not mistaken.

Well @Jating and @Iranus, it went to 3 and Alcaraz won it from Berettini.

I'm wrong with my prediction so I lost my bet, I thought that Berrettini will win in 2 straight sets against Alcaraz. But the kid shows a lot of heart specially in the 3rd set, I think he has a bright future and could be in the top 5 to top 10 in the next 2 years if he continues his magical run. He has a good coach and he needs to learn a lot of things.

I will also skip betting on the Tiafoe vs Sinner. It's tough to decide, maybe I will go Over on this one just to test and throw some sats to enjoy the match will watching.

Pretty nice odds for Jonas Sultan. I'll be waiting for more market on that fight, probably more hours and we will see the odds for per round.

I would still take the ML though, it's 5.80 and I think Filipino fighter here will give a good fight against the undefeated Caraballo.

How bookies see Sultan is very undervalued, so it's an opportunity to take.

I agree, the ML is very attractive not to put a bet on it, even a few sats won't hurt our chances to support the Filipino fighter here.

It's because sport bookies haven't heard Sultan, and he has losses already if I'm not mistaken. Then he is facing this Puerto Rican who has a lot of hype and knock out artist and undefeated. But this kind of value is what we wanted for an underdog, and if ever Sultan wins here then it's good money to us.

To fix it, the fix must start with the investors.

Stop investing to meme coins and any single coin that's being built quickly to bear up with the hype in the market. The reason why there are more that keep coming is due to the investors.

If no one will invest into those, the developers will realize that there's no more craze with the altcoins they make.
That is the only way we need to go to the source, and the source of so many scams coins are the greedy desires of investors, if there was no money to be made for them and for the scammers behind those coins then the number of coins we have in the market will drop at least 90%, as scammers will need to find other ways to try to get to our money.

But when investors are literally giving their money away to strangers just because they can write some technical stuff they do not even understand then it makes no sense for scammers to change their behavior when they can obtain so much money so easily.

I would agree to a certain extend, but we can't really control those investors, it's their money anywise.

Maybe we can just gave them piece of advise, and be a wise investors, but as humans, when greed sets in, our decision are clouded and all we think of is $$$ in the future. And then these scammers takes advantage of that mentally, persuade investors specially new ones to give them their hard earn money and then disappear.

And its' going to be a cycle here, same as the boom and bust and bulls and bears trend.

Logan Paul looks link he could take on Mike Tyson for a sustained match (but in saying that I haven't seen any of his fights) - I'm leaning towards Mike Tyson at this point unless there's a special "something" in Paul's previous fights.
There is nothing special in Logan Paul that will give you any inclination that he will win against Mike Tyson. His last fight was against Floyd Mayweather where he went the distance and the size difference was not a secret and Floyd is not known to be a knockout fighter during his heydays and you cannot expect him to knockout anyone much bigger in size, but that is not the case with Mike Tyson as Logan Paul will get the opportunity to sleep Cheesy.

Hopefully Mike will put him to sleep, so that all of this hype around this brother will stop, Lol.

Not sure though if promotional company wants that, Logan Paul is a money making machine right now, he is so hot that even the great Mike Tyson is willing to fight him for a good pay check. But there will be a catch, no knock out from Mike, the kid is too good to be damage early in his career as exhibition fighter.  Grin

The Lakers vs Brooklyn game tomorrow is a preview of their possible match-up in the NBA finals and we will gonna see which team has less chance to win the champion after the game tomorrow. The Lakers have their superstars healthy and the Nets will also play well with Kevin Durant and James Harden tomorrow which will make it the most watch game and will gonna be a slap for the Lakers if they gonna lose this one. Hope they will gonna win though since they started with a devastating loss with GSW.

Honestly I think the better matchup which will be a dogfight will be the 4-0 bulls and the 3-1 knicks.  Bulls haven't beaten anyone really good yet but their team has greatly improved, and the Knicks look even stronger than they did last year early on.  Kemba dropping 5 dimes in what was a blowout of Philly last night.  Knicks look legit, and have depth to get through tough stretches.

You are right mate, it was really a dog fight between this two, (was wondering why it hasn't been discussed).

Knicks won though by just 1 point, but when everybody thought that the Bulls was out, they come back strong in the last 1:40 to cut the lead.

And they have the chance to win it with 4 seconds remaining, it was DeRozan who took the last shoot and not Lavine, but it was an airball. Both of this teams are legit in the East.

Today only bets on two matches S. Tsitsipas vs F. Tiafoe on under and FAA vs Norrie on over.
At ATP Saint Petersburg M. Cilic vs K. Khachanov, Cilic has lost his touch when he returns to play after a long injury but Khachanov sometimes not consistent with his performance, this match difficult to predict who wins but pick over 20.5 maybe a good choice.

I also have Tsitsipas who is top seed for the win along with Norrie.

Some of the other games look very good especially for the seeded players. I have
bets on the seeded players, I think Swartzman could be the trickiest one though.

Monfils v Swartzman (8.)
Ruud (4) v Sonego
Novak v Sinner (7)
DevMinaur v Zverev (2)

Norrie vs FAA is about to start, I have Norrie at handicap -1.5. Didn't want to bet the totals as this might be tricky. Norrie is playing very hard in here, while FAA is somewhat very inconsistent and seems can't go over the round of 16 as much as he wanted to.

Not yet betting on other games, but I like the chances of Schwartzman against Monfils.

And then Zverev over A de Minaur. So let's see how my first bet goes, if it's a W then I will continue to bet on the other games.

Good call on making the bet on Norrie -1.5 handicap games. You won it even tho Norrie lost in the end and will now struggled to reach those top 8 places to take him to the final tournament of the year. Also Tsitsipas again lost to Tiafoe i think he just cannot beat him on any tournament

I still lost it mate, totals is 16 for Norrie and 15 for FAA, so that's only 1 handicap point, not enough. He should have won this match if my bet will get through. Lots of chance for Norrie, however, I'll give credit to FAA, when you thought that he was out specially with his performance in the first set, he suddenly find his tennis and the tennis Gods gifted him with a big win.  Smiley

Alcaraz vs Berrettini - I have a feeling that this will go down to 2 sets only.
3028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 28, 2021, 06:28:20 PM
^^ Right, me too, with FAA inconsistency, and then Norrie mental toughness it's hard to go against him in this match. When I saw the score in the first set, I said that Norrie will win because FAA usually broke down in the first set with that kind of score. But it was the opposite, and then when I woke up to check the score, I was surprised that I've lost my bet. Waiting for Tsitsipas vs Tiafoe match, hopefully Tsitsipas can cover the spread in this one to at least make it 1-1 for me in this tournament.

This fight is getting closer now, I still have Canelo Alvarez winning this one, but not sure what rounds Caleb are going to fall.

And it seems that Canelo is really wanted to score a big win here against Caleb and we all know how motivated Canelo is in this fight. He even goes to the public and says that Caleb should be prepare his chin because he is going to look for it from the first round.

They mounted a come back, but then turnovers after turnovers that kills their chances.

Westbrook contributed big time on TO, the Lakers has a total of 17 turnovers on that game while Westbrook owned 10 of it. That's insane because he had a triple-double but was unable to manage the ball very well, this is one of the worst games of Westbrook in terms of turnover, hopefully, it will not happen again.

This is very unfortunate. WB both played well and bad at the same time. Yes, he was very good statistically as he got a triple-double, but those turnovers cost them the match in my opinion. I think I'd rather let him scoreless but not make those TO's. I hope he works on this and comes back strong.

Westbrook suddenly becomes at the number 2 in most turnover this season due to that high turnover.

https://www.espn.com/nba/stats/player/_/stat/turnovers/table/offensive/sort/avgTurnovers/dir/desc

However, I don't think Westbrook will be at the top in terms of TO average this season, it's just only one game, one mistake and we forget to weigh that the triple-double is more important and that' a huge contribution to the Lakers who are still figuring out how to be consistent.

Yeah, but it was a very costly mistake for him to have a 10 TO. They could have won the game and him having 20 OT and the fans are going to forget about it. But having triple down, and then 10 TO really magnify for the Lakers are we all know all eyes are on them.

And without Lebron, just shows that they need to jive, otherwise this can happen again. Blowing off a big lead and then losing to a 0-4 team.

That's argument alone is very wrong in the beginning. As far as Shiba goes, yes it's volume is now even greater than ETH, but look at how the wallet is distributed, there's even one bagholder who's worth billion right now because of the huge pump on the price.

And don't blindly trust anyone making such predictions, as the saying goes, do your own research. So that you will learn and not going to blame anyone if you lose your money.

Or maybe the Feds themselves setup their on dark market see who is buying and then make an arrest. Just like in an offline scenario wherein you talk to someone i.e. hire them to murder someone, buy some drugs, pedo and other criminals.

Or maybe the FBI and other government agencies are also hacking those dark marketplace to break the anonymity of users. Or maybe they got on the hosting site itself, get what they needed to track and indict any individual with serious crimes.

I love the Bulls this year though, but they need to have a game against a top team in the East to be able to say that they are for real. This is their strongest start since the Michael Jordan era, it might be early to say, but they are one of the dark horse team right now. With Zach Lavine, DeRozan, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. They really look very solid.

I don't think it will be a laker/Nets final.  Nets aren't deep enough and Lakers need to get it together.

Both teams are still struggling, specially the Lakers, although they've already win 2 games in a row. It was very close and not against a top tier team. They still have a lot of work to be done.
3035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: October 27, 2021, 04:52:07 PM
Does anyone knows in which weight class they are going to fight? Last time Logan Paul fought, he has to keep his weight in a limit, because Mayweather is a welterweight. In the fight before that Logan was something between cruiserweight and light heavy. Mike Tyson is a heavyweight. Will they have a weight compromise or someone will have to gain or cut? If Logan has to gain, will he be quick enough for Tyson speed, as he is quite fast for grandpa in his instagram videos.

I don't think that Mike Tyson can go below 210 lbs here, so it's really up to Logan Paul to go up in weight so at least cruiserweight or light heavyweight. And if my memory serves me right, in the Mayweather fight he weight in like a super middleweight.

So good question, maybe weight will not be an issue here, both can come in with their regular weight fight and then make money.

Hurkacz's defeat in this tournament will open up Norrie's chances of reaching the ATP Finals

Yes, of course. An early defeat for Hurkacz is the ideal situation for Norrie, as they are fighting each other for the last spot in the ATP Finals. I think Sinner has come back into contention too, but really it's between these three. FAA is too far back, and doesn't have time to make up the points difference.
Here I am, hoping that Murray continues his come back and wins another match today. Funny thing I never liked him when he was on the top and now I am cheering for him to come back to the top Smiley

Alcaraz was in great form earlier this season but he dropped off a little lately. He is also very experienced playing indoors so that should be enough for Murray. I even backed him with ML bet today, it was decent @1.6 odds.

Score is tied 2-2 in the first set, no breaks yet. But it has the footprint of another great match specially coming from Murray who has somewhat playing good tennis lately.

If I'm not mistaken, Alcaraz after playing so good earlier this season has suffered some injuries that has cause him to slow down a bit. And probably trying to regain some in his past 2 tournaments. So let's see how it goes.

Berrettini vs  Basilashvili next, I'm thinking of betting on the under here with Berrettini winning in 2 sets.
3037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 27, 2021, 08:44:08 AM
^^ They could be on the same card, co-main event according to this report:

Quote
Earlier this month, WBC bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire revealed that he was “finalizing” a December 11th clash with interim champion and mandatory challenger Reymart Gaballo. Now, the reliable Julius Julianis reports that the fight could serve as half of a Dubai doubleheader with John Riel Casimero vs. Paul Butler, which was already targeted for that date.

https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/10/26/22747243/nonito-donaire-vs-reymart-gaballo-could-join-casimero-butler-december-11-boxing-news-2021

That will be an interesting twist as we can see both fights in the same night. And since Donaire and Casimero are now under the same management, most likely this fight is going to happen.

So let's just wait for the official announcement, it will be huge if this is going to be true two championship fight in one card and involving fighters that will potentially clash in the future.

This rumor is very positive, I hope Casimero would also confirm this through his youtube channel. I'm one of his followers so it's nice to hear some good news regarding this fight. Two Filipino champions are going to defend their title against their respective opponents on the same day, that's a good treat for the Filipino boxing fans and to all the fans all over the world.

3 out of 4 Filipinos in the main card, although both are going to face each other. But still this is really huge for Filipino boxing fans around the world as we wanted to see someone to cheer on since the great Manny Pacquiao has retired.

And since are both sign with Probellum promotions, definitely this can happen.

All we have to do is wait for the announcement after every thing has been set.

Lakers still not out of the clutches of Grizzlies, 106-102.

James and Monk hit back to back 3's. But the Grizzlies responded back with a 5-0 run in the last minute or two. So it's going to be another close game and Lakers although has the lead is not sure of taking their first win tonight. Last 5 minutes, anything can happen so let's see how it goes.

Lakers got the win indeed, but it was a very difficult process just to get in the winning column. It's so close that they didn't covered the initial spread (-4.5). Ja Morant had another 30+ games in just his 3rd game of the seasons.

Lakers got 6 players in double digit, but it was a chess match in the last 40 seconds and the good thing is that they didn't missed their FT. So finally, they got the needed W in their column. But still a long way to go for the team to live up to the hype.
3039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: October 25, 2021, 01:56:45 AM
Shakur was too much for Herring, I was not expecting that Herring did not have an answer on Shakur's attack, he maybe have a strong chin that he would not go down but the ref saw that he was not anymore responding to the punches of Stevenson, so instead of increasing the damage, the ref decided to stop the fight and declare Stevenson the champion, he is now a two-division world champion, congrats to him.

The referee's decision is right and on time there are too many punches going to the head and face of Herring and the referee sense that he cannot win anymore because he is now defensive and lack the snap on the punches.
He is a now daring Valdez for a unification which is good this is a year of unification I'm sure promoters will make this fight happen, that's going to be interesting.

Pretty obvious that Herring doesn't have answer's to Shakur offense, and even if he tries to get closer and have 2-4 combinations, he either misses it or it hit Shakur but with no effect because his punch doesn't have that snap.

Valdez has been calling him as well, so the feeling is mutual. It's just up to their promotional company Top Rank to set it up and satisfy both camp regarding the money and let's see who is the best at 130 division with all the belts in line.

Sinner took the title in the Antwerp Open, it was so clinical that the score was lopsided, not even Over in this match, 6-2, 6-2. Good win by Sinner against a tough Schwartzman but Sinner was playing perfect in this tournament.

As I have predicted, it will be Sinner on this one. And he seems that he has improved a lot in terms of mental toughness and tennis IQ. He knows how to read his opponents strengths and weaknesses and turn it into points. Congrats to those who bet on him.

Now we go to Vienna Open, lot of good matches already.

Carreno-Busta vs Basilashvili, - I will go Under 22.5 @1.83 for a start.

I haven't look at this tournament yet, but by quick glance this tournament is already good as most of the top ten are entered in this tournament.
