Honestly, PBA fans already know that the league might take up a long time before commencing again so they are now used to it. It won't be forgotten since the situation is understandable. Not just PBA but other leagues as well are having a hard time because of the current restrictions in the capital.
There is no reason for us fans to complain, we understand everything and the situation is not that really good this time although I can see some good news lately about the decrease in active cases and more recoveries every day. I saw this news and the 4 of them have a meeting.
Wishing all the best so that we can watch again PBA games.
We are simply stupid if we complain, we should see their effort to start the new season. Besides, we are not paying them or whatsoever, we are just provided with the entertainment and that is for free. Whatever decision with regards to the format they may come up with, we should support it so they'll continue to work hard in providing us entertainment.

Great news for the Suns. It’s been over 10 years since they’ve seen the postseason. I’m happy for Devin Booker who was looking like he may never see a playoff game. Adding CP3 to the lineup has made such a huge difference. What a great move by Suns management. Some might have been expecting a buyout, but CP3 proved worth the investment.

Exactly, and there's a lot of 'what if' scenario, we can go back in time - Houston vs GSW, they almost upset the Warriors that time if not for his injury. However, when he comes back healthy they fall short again.

So I do hope that CP3 this time will have a chance with Booker to go to the finals. Yes, West is very tough, but with the right mindset and attitude I think they can go this far this season.

That was because of the bad chemistry they already had, Harden and Paul do not have good chemistry, I don't know for what reason but CP3 has not given the correct role with the Rockets that's why they fall, if only they let him handle the ball and make plays for the team, they would be more unpredictable as CP3 is really smart and one of the best PG in the league if not the best.

The thing is, way back in the Houston time, Harden thinks he is the superstar of the team, right now, it's a different situation because he was the one who joined in the Nets with Durant and Irving already on board.

That news is also a rumor but we now have two expectations whichever is going to be the fight that will happen. I don't know what's next with such news and rumors. If both of these won't happen.
Then what's next? Garcia vs. Crawford?  Grin

The rumor of Manny fighting Crawford did not came from the camp of the Filipino senator, maybe the camp of Crawford were the ones responsible on spreading that while the rumors of a fight between Manny and Mikey Garcia came directly from an individual who have knowledge on what's going on inside Team Pacquiao so i could that the latter rumor have a 95 percent probability of being true  Smiley.

Garcia vs Crawford? No, they all are after Manny.

The information on what OP had shared _https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2021/02/12/pacquiao-give-me-crawford/... it tells that it was coming from Manny, so if that website or news is fake, then we can conclude that it's not coming from Manny, but anyway, it did not happen so it does not matter anymore.

In addition, do not forget about the execution time - usually casinos require several confirmations, and I think that in modern conditions it is irrelevant to wait for a transaction to be completed for almost an hour.
Afaik most casinos only require one confirmation on bitcoin deposits and sometimes there are other casinos that require a few more for withdrawal requests.

I rarely play with altcoins but I think they're the ones that require several confirmations since the block times are much faster.

IIRC, there are even some casinos that do not even require a confirmation on deposit, they'll just credit right away once it's already in the blockchain, but during withdrawal, it should be confirmed before they'll process it. It usually requires 3 confirmations for bitcoin and it's alright because they have a good feature which credits your deposit without confirmation. However, I think there are only a few sites that do it now because it's a bit risky on their site, maybe 1 confirmation is a bit safer.

^^ But if you look at the votes, odds are boxing fans here thinks that Cotto will win this fight.

In any case, when online sport bookies released the odds for this exhibition fight, I will go and put a small bet on Cotto, just for fun and entertainment. So let's see how punters are going to call this fight, it's between two legendaries, hard to see who is going to be the odds favourites.

We will know once the odds is already available, this is a good exhibition fight as both fighters are real entertainers during their time as a pro. Now, they are just sharing that after boxing, they are still fit to fight and here again to give us a good fight.

No matter what the odds is, since this is just an exhibition match, we just have to bet on the fighter that we think would likely win, no matter what the outcome is.

This is according to coach Norman.

Sorry coach Yeng, but Black doesn’t think PBA is just a four-team race

Quote
NORMAN Black refused to believe the 46th PBA season has been reduced to a four-team battle for the championship.

While he did acknowledge Barangay Ginebra, San Miguel Beer, TnT Tropang Giga, and Magnolia are consensus title contenders, Black still likes the chances of his Meralco Bolts to challenge the league’s so-called elite teams.

Coach Norman is right, Meralco is a good contender as well, Coach Yeng are now talking non sense, why not include his team, it seems like he loss faith that his team could compete against the big teams in the PBA, that's not the couach Yeng I know, maybe he meant something deeper on his statement.

I agree with you, Meralco is also a threat to the popular teams, even in all Filipino cup. He should not publicize his frustration or whatever you call it by praising the big teams and insulting other teams, I really find his statement offensive, and I think Coach Norman here got offended with his comment.
3028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 25, 2021, 12:02:35 PM
Lakers defense are unacceptable in this game, they always allow Powell and Doncic on the pick and roll play, Doncic is not the kind of player that will loss his exposure even getting doubled, he will just pass the ball because he has a good IQ and the offense is way even better.

probably that was the season high of Powell.

The Lakers seems making a huge adjustment from Davis' return.
They had indeed a terrible defense, and AD's poor shooting percentage was adding to the burden. AD was completely inefficient in his return from both games against the Mavericks.
They should've owned the paint with Kristaps' absence, but no they got destroyed by Powell.
AD needs to find his rhythm before the season for them gets worse. 3-5 more consecutive losses will send them down to the bottom and worse a post season elimination.

They need Lebron James, that's the only answer so the Lakers will start winning again.  Lakers still has a good ranking, still at number 5 but the lower rank teams are just close to their numbers, soon if they still not gonna win, Dallas might replace them in their current spot. Lakers next game is against the Orlando Magic, I think they have a chance to win this game, and they will have a lot of rest before that game.


Right, and with so many teams being really competitive prior to the playoffs, they really need to do something in order to get back on winning again because it might not do good in the end if they slide one spot further.

Yes, they have a good chance against Orlando on their next game. But it's not an assurance that they are going to win. Just look at how the Timberwolves managed to upset the Utah Jazz.

The bad news is there's still no definite period on when Lebron will come back. Orlando may not be as strong as the Mavericks but this team is still good in upsetting good teams. Orlando has a very slim or close to no chance of getting into the playoffs, so they will be playing like they don't loss anything, Lakers has to be careful with that, and also, Orlando is in losing streak, they are also hungry for a win.

Dont end up your life just because of that debt of yours.Yes, it might not sound simple but it isnt just worth to have some suicide because of that.There's always a solution to the problem.
The mistake you had done on here is that you do still believe that you can pay up or make that money grown and able to repay those debts via gambling which is really a very wrong mindset.
Come to think that if you had able to put those amounts you borrowed on trading capital then you might still have the chance on earning money.
It might not be that fast or big as gambling outcome but its a bit assured that you can really play with it and those funds wont be vanished in a short span of time.
I don't think so the best thing to do is to borrow money and put it into trading so that you may earn and pay your debt, because many says that the chances of winning in gambling is more than staking or putting your money into trading another thing is that yes it is really a wrong mind set that you will borrow a money in order to gamble again so that you may be able to pay your debt because it is hard to play that you are thinking that the money you are playing is the money that you will pay to your debts. When you are gambling or playing it is good to have a good and relax mindset in order to think the best moves.
It's also wrong to borrow money and trade it, don't expect 100% profit in trading as you never know the outcome, both trading and gambling is high risk, meaning you could loss or win, so it's really risky to borrow to pay trade to setlle all obligation.

Actually no borrower would allow you to borrow if you put that as your purpose, they know that trading is so risky, some people making money while many have also loss money in trading.

With regards to Pacman fighting this year i think there is still time and in fact some said that he is on a light training at the moment, this is just a sign that he is preparing for a fight.


I'm optimistic that this fight will happen, Pacman announce in the beginning because he knows he will get a fight against Crawford, and though some experts are still underestimating him, it doesn't matter as I still trust him to win. I would love to bet on him if he will be an underdog in this fight, he is not old enough, I'm sure of that as his previous fight prove that he is younger than his actual age.

A fight with Crawford will not gonna happen at least for now mate. You can scroll above for the post.

Pacman vs Crawford did not get enough investors.

Manny could fight this year but it could be against Mikey Garcia which is a very suitable opponent for him at this stage of his career.

Manny have nothing left to prove and let's just be happy that he could get back in the ring even if it is with a B class fighter.

If the information shared is true, then it's a killer of the excitement.

Everyone is waiting for this fight as they know they can see a great fight and a real challenge for Crawford, but it looks like we have to move on and accept the fact that these two will not anymore fight. We don't know if that info is correct yet, so let's wait for more news like the ESPN news as they are more reputable.

I guess there's nothing to doubt that the information is legit since it's all over the news, you can type this particular fight in google and you'll be prompt with the information about the fight that has already collapse due to lack of funding. Maybe we will wait for a confirmation from Pacquiao himself since he was the one who called for this fight.
3031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Haney vs Linares - May 29 on: April 24, 2021, 02:10:07 PM


I'm expecting a very close odds here, although there is none yet for now, Haney might be slight favourite and ML might be good to bet here.

Odds will be very close here, things will be interesting once the fight is getting closer, Linares is a serious opposition, the name Linares was mentioned in Garcia's last fight I thought Garcia will fight Linares but it's the other way around, I believe Haney will win the fight, but I don't count Linares out he can be a spoiler on Haney's great career.

No, the odds will never be close, Haney here is the heavy favorite, you can read this.

This are temporary pump and dump without any specific goal to achieve in terms of development and utility, anyone joining or investing in this project should be careful and take caution because anything can happen, however, it is alts season so expect virtually everything to pump.

It's a market sentiment, these are old coins but most of these coins are listed in big exchanges such as Binance, and as far as I can see, most coins listed in  Binance got hype as BNB is pumping. We should not be surprise about what is happening, if we held some, then we should be thankful as we are given an opportunity to sell at the current bull run.

Bankera team are scammers, I lost my investment fund, when the price went down the more, I bought more after the price heavily tanked. I left all my tokens on spectron exchange, I can't login anymore and says invalid login and I can't even reset my password. It's a coordinated scam.
There's no justice on this project anymore, it's an obvious scam. it collected millions of dollars during the ICO but look at their trading volume now.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankera/

As you can see, they have $6,194 24 hours trading volume which is very small compared to the worth of this project.
Sorry for your lost guys, but we need to move on and find other projects that could potentially help us get back our loses by being profitable.
3034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 on: April 23, 2021, 09:34:39 PM
I was curious who Tommy Fury is, so I read the article (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/14692074/jake-paul-tommy-fury-fight-tyson-michael-hunter/) to confirm about the rumor and also discover that Tommy Fury is the half brother of Tyson Fury, so this is great as Tyson could teach his brother on how to win the fight.
He'll naturally get hype just because he's related to Tyson, but hes done semi decent. Personally, I don't think he's been given particularly challenging opponents, but I can't blame him for it. He's beat what's been put in front of him. I would like to think someone like him would easily put away Jake Paul though. So, it might not turn into an interesting fight for a neutral fan.
Wow, this guy (Tommy) is also a pro, this would be a great match.

His record is also impressive, 5 wins (4 KOs), this is pretty decent to match up Jake Paul's talent in boxing, I'd do a bet on this guy took.
source : https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/854141

More hype would bring more money, maybe these two will be interested and will make this fight realize.

Corrupt behavior with a consumptive lifestyle makes people close their eyes to punishment.
Sometimes the punishment is really a problem, on some countries, when someone caught cheating in sports, a cheater will just be fine on or ban, there's no criminal liability, if that punishment will be serious, then I guess these violators will think twice before doing it.

Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns, Boston huge underdog in this match @2.80. Suns on a two game winning streak.

Celtics don't stand a chance. Suns is on-fire and they are playing good recently.

But if there's something in your mind that it's worth to risk for Celtics, then you can follow it.



You can never make a conclusion here, Celtics loves to challenge good teams and they are hungry for a win. Both teams are 8-2  (w-L) in their last 10 games and Celtics are playing at hom, I guess Celtics has a good chance here.

We can only call it an upset if one team is the heavy favorite, but line has changed, opened at +6.5, now only +1.5 for the Celtics.

I was just browsing on FB and then saw this discussion. What can you say about Williams as a rookie that demands a higher salary per year?
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/why-there-s-still-no-deal-between-tnt-and-mikey-williams-a2244-20210418)

From the article, it says ;

Quote
The rookie salary is cappped at 200k. The gap of 100k

So to be specific, he is just asking 300k per month, that's over 50% of the max capped for Rookie. I guess he its his right to ask for a higher salary, he is good and he knows he is capable of helping the team, but the final say still up to the TNT managemnet as it could also ruined the morale of the existing players if they will give them as a special treatment.

This guy is a bit okay, Ray Parks is worst as his asking is 1 million per month.  Grin
3038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 5 on: April 22, 2021, 08:44:14 PM
The latest update on this fight is that it is expected to be rescheduled for June 5th.
https://theathletic.com/news/floyd-mayweather-vs-logan-paul-planned-for-june-5-sources/lGOVOpJtN4JJ

With a 50 pound advantage in weight and 6 inches in height it might be worth considering putting some money on Logan Paul.
Nah, I don't think it will be enough to upset Floyd. He hasn't been touch by any boxer that he has face before, professional one so I doubt that Logan Paul can even get close to Floyd. Plus we all know how defensive genius Floyd is, when you think you got him, he will suddenly change stance, putting you on uncomfortable position.

What's he gonna do with 50 lbs advantage? tie Floyd in the corner and put all his weight on him?

Floyd Mayweather is now 44 years old. Even McGregor was able to touch him a few times, and that was nearly 4 years ago. Logan just has to be as good of a boxer as McGregor. What do you think will happen when a 200 pound fighter connects on Floyd? Logan doesn't have to be great, physics and brute strength are in his favor.

They will not fight without following a weight requirement, Floyd will never allow that and he is smart, he would never fight if he thought he would loss a fight, remember, he is an undefeated for a reason, he knows how to pick his opponent and for me this is an automatic win for him.
3039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: April 21, 2021, 09:59:56 PM
If there are gamblers who say their defeat is due to fate, it means that they cannot accept the losses suffered due to their own decisions.
Because our fate depends on our actions, therefore if we don't want to experience big losses when playing gambling. We must be able to
control ourselves when playing gambling, not to overdo gambling and get addicted. Actually experiencing losses in playing gambling is
a natural thing, because it is impossible for us to always profit when playing gambling. Or don't play gambling at all, if we are afraid of
experiencing losses when playing gambling.

Anyone trying to blame fate is just trying to shift blame away from himself and just wants to get sympathy as this was something that was happening to him no matter what this person did, and as you may guess this is not true, people need to accept the responsibility for their actions, if they do not do it then they are going to keep making the same mistakes many times and once they finally learn their lesson it could be too late for them as the losses they would have accumulated over that period of time will be too high.
I don't believe in fate, I believe in science, luck is simple algebra and probabilities, so is gambling, nothing to do with fate whatsoever. We're accepting the risk of losing our money when we're gambling, we know that there's a high chance we will, but we continue anyway. We are responsible for our own actions, if we end up losing money it's out of pure luck and lack of control.

Very well said, your fate is based on your action, if you are stupid and you loss control in gambling, then you can't expect a good fate in the future. Let's be realistic, once we understand the risk and reward in gambling, we will be able to think realistically and that will make us responsible as a gambler.
3040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 21, 2021, 09:44:22 PM
We might see a 2 conference this season.

Actually, that was really the original plan for this year if ever the league were able to follow the original plan of opening last April 18. But since Ynares Center is part of the NCR Plus, which currently on a MECQ status until the end of the month, there were no preparations made.

Since a single conference takes around 3 months to be finished there is still time for another conference if they will successfully push for an opening next month or in June as the expected restriction on NCR Plus won't likely extend. And as per target, all doses of vaccines should be made before players can clear to play so it will take at least a month.

So we can expect the PBA to start next month, well, there's still plenty of time to practice and then start the season, we just have to be optimsitic about it as for sure they also want to start the season as much as we want, but they need to ensure safety as they can't compromise the safety of everyone against the covid-19.
