Doubts about Jake Paul's abilities will be cleared at last. He will finally fight a real boxer!
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to say which one will win, because I have doubts about the form of Tommy Fury. If he's okay and he's prepared well, then he should have beaten Jake Paul without a hitch.
What would you doubt about Tommy Fury? This guy could fight and definitely could win this fight.

Bookies are not fool to make Fury the favorite to win this fight and that's how fans see this fight as well.

here are the odds
Quote
Paul vs. Fury betting odds
Jake Paul: +165
Tommy Fury: -185
Draw: +1400

3082  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 15, 2021, 08:43:43 PM
Of course he has to beat Butler first. I wonder what would have happened with the fight against Inoue if Casimero lost to Butler. Do you think there would be a fight with Inoue, would he have to have some elimination fights first?
At least to me Inoue seems to be determined to prove that he is above all the fighters on his division, so even if Casimero lost to Butler we could see them fighting above the ring, I have my doubts it would be soon as Inoue would prefer to fight Butler in that scenario to get an unification fight, but after that was done I think both fighters will look for a way to get above the ring together so they can give the fans the fight we have been waiting for some time.
We can only say that he is determined to prove he is the best in the division if he will accept the challenge of Casimero.

In this fight, Casimero will likely win as he has all the advantages, so Inoue has to make sure he will prepare for the fight next year so we will see a big fight, not against Donaire but it should be against Casimero who he never fought before.

Being carried away by Fuds and FOMOS could easily be the reason why most investors lose their money. A proper mindset would be the best asset that we could have upon entering trading. Continuous learning is still needed because we couldn't be trading experts in just a blink of an eye. Also, you should do a series of research about a coin of your choice before investing, which will help you make firm decisions.
This is more prone for newbies as they have less knowledge and experience when it comes to trading so they easily go with the hype and its trend.  But as they go on with their day to day experiences in  trading, they will build more good analysis and realized that riding in any FUD or FOMO does not create positive outcome. Once you're in trading, your knowledge should never be limited and that is why continuous learning from consistent researches is definitely a must. Don't trade anyway if you are a close minded person.
3084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian Congressman proposes Crypto Payment for workers on: November 15, 2021, 05:41:06 PM
Cryptocurrency is increasingly getting into our everyday lives! A congressman in Brazil has recently proposed a bill to allow Brazilian citizens to choose whether to receive their payroll in cryptos or in fiat. If accepted, it will be an important step forward to total Bank independence.

Are you guys hoping for the same to happen in your country?

This is actually one of those news that I am looking forward to.

But in order for this to happen, cryptocurrencies must be categorized and recognized as legal tender before they can be given as a choice in payment for the salary of workers. In the laws of the Philippines, the law strictly mandates employers and businesses to pay its workers using the recognized legal tender in the country, which is fiat. If Congress were to implement this change, they would have to pass a law amending such section of the Labor Code and also passing a law recognizing cryptocurrencies as a form of legal tender.

While this change is very promising, this will pass through several readings and developments that the government must concur with the change. If I were in the position of these workers in Brazil, I would opt to choose 50/50 division of salary.
That's a better division i guess since Brazil has not yet adopted crypto as a legal tender. So one needs to cater with his own needs through fiat and for a good investment such as crypto. But if ever Brazil is going to accept crypto in the near future, then i would love to accept all my salaries in crypto. My plan is to make a good investment in crypto and just buy and hold a portion of bitcoin with an amount i can afford to lose. Even if i don't do much about it, the fact that i'm already expecting profits in the near future will give me more confidence and creates more interest in crypto. And maybe by that time once crypto is legal, there will also various exchanges to which i can convert some of my crypto into fiat in times emergencies arise.

Steph Curry had an off night. It happens. I think the young guys gave him a little bit of trouble. Wiggins played well though and has shown a lot of improvement since joining the Warriors. Last year you saw it in his defense but this year you’re really seeing him get more comfortable with the ball and taking over the offense. I can’t wait to see what this team looks like when Wiseman and Thompson come back.
Just imagining it gives me the chills. It will be something new if we will see GSW making plays for Wiseman since they are not really used to it.
Steve Kerr might already have some plans written just for him when he comes back. But for now, all we see is the same play being used over and over again and it still works. What more if they could stretch it out with something new.  Roll Eyes
Wait until Klay Thompson comes back, they will be a better team because they already have the chemisty.
Their win streak is over but Warriors are still a threat, they could be a champion this season because I'm never seen them play as good as what they are showing to us in the past few seasons after Durant left.

Denver Nuggets are now on a winning spree despite MPJ being out with a back injury. 5 winning streak to be exact and they could be the wild card that no one expects especially when Murray suddenly comes back.
I guess the MPJ makes them better because when he was still playing he does not provide the numbers he used to get, so less error makes this team better. The win against Portland is huge, I can still remember when they meet in the playoffs and until now Denver still owned the Blazers.
3086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 15, 2021, 11:55:29 AM
I would love to watch this fight. Lomachenko is an incredibly technical boxer and it is interesting to watch him. Despite the fact that the opponent is an obvious underdog, he is still a worthy opponent and the fight should not become too one-sided. As for betting, unfortunately the odds look too uninteresting to place a bet - 1.15, maybe during the battle it will be possible to try to guess in which round the knockout will be.

The betting odds might change when the fight is near the schedule. There was a huge difference against Lomanchenko as the favourite boxer to win against Commey.
Well, the odds tell the whole story.
Loma is just more agile and probably has more power in punching than Commey.
I honestly haven't heard about the guy Commey, but I think he's also good as a 90% KO artist, but then again I doubt the ability he has when facing a more elite fighter than those who he have defeated.

What needs to happen for these tiny (1.15) odds to change significantly? Is there any injury to Lomachenko or something like that? In this case, the fight will simply be postponed or canceled. The only thing I can imagine is a bad start for Loma and a change in live odds in favor of Commey, but this is extremely unlikely.
Yes, I don't see any wild swing in the odds as we near the fight and that odds could remain. On the contrary, maybe after the weigh-in, we might see the odds for Loma shrink.

Loma is healthy, no doubt that his shoulder injury has healed 100%. We can see a Loma back to his former when he fought Nakatani the movement and the punch output is already there.

After an impressive performance by Loma in his last fight, there's a reason why the bookies would make him a heavy favorite. People would just bet on Loma and that's the reason why bookies are just trying to balance the money since one needs to put a bigger bet in order to enjoy a decent profit, hence taking a high risk as well.
3087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 15, 2021, 11:29:57 AM
I won on the Suns, but unfortunately, I also ride on GSW, but the streak was finally ended, thanks to the great defense of the Hornets. And then Terry Rozier playing as if he was still win the Celtics, Lol. But overall, it was a good game for them. Congrats to those who bet against the GSW. Clippers winning streak also stop here with a lost against the Bulls. Chicago playing solid defense and offense the whole game. Clippers looks very tired, no ball movement, all one on one by Paul George and then missed a lot of good open three's that could have close the lead by the Bulls in the last 2-3 minutes.
Every winning streak will eventually end, if these two teams are a really good teams, they can start their win streak again.

Clippers' next game is against the Spurs, while GSW next game is against the Nets.
Since this is the 2nd road game of GSW and they are facing the nets, I think they'll lose here and might get their 2 straight losses.
No odds yet for now, but hopefully the odds for Nets are just around -3.5 to -4.5 because I'm going to take it.
3088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: November 14, 2021, 08:38:08 PM

I don't think Casimero and Donaire would fight against each other and I'm sure that the Filipino organizers wouldn't allow it. It's better to have a single representative from each country in a single match. There will be lapses if that happens. Both Casimero and Donaire are making a good name in the industry and most Filipinos support them on their journey.

The Filipino wouldn't want them fighting, but If the boxing council orders a mandatory fight then there's nothing else you can do. Nevertheless, it's a step forward for the boxer's career.

We have seen scenarios like this for the Mexican fighters. They have been fighting each other in the international ring, maybe because there were plenty of good boxers in their country.
This same scenario will inevitably happen for any nationality too.

They will not be ordered to fight each other because they are champions of the different councils.

Donaire is the current WBC world bantamweight champion while Casimerois the WBO world bantamweight champion.
If there's a mandatory fight, it should be coming from the same council, a champion to fight its top challenger.
3089  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if $70k was Bitcoin ATH for the year? on: November 14, 2021, 07:08:46 PM
Will you be satisfied if 2021  ends with an ATH of $70k for Bitcoin. Will it make you more richer or it wouldn't add any value to your intial capital.
Will you regret you joined the trend late or  would you be glad you bought when the  market did a retracement? Or you are still staring at Bitcoin with some sentiment

When BTC grows up, it not only satisfy bitcoin investors but other investors who invested on other crypto coins would be much happier since, maximum all other coins follow the growth of bitcoin.

And yes there are high chances for Bitcoin reach another ATH more than $70k by end of this month or in the beginning weak of December 2021.
I do agree that bitcoin has still all the chances to hit new ATH before 2021 ends and $70k may not be the end point for this year. But if bitcoin suddenly faces an unexpected serious dump and see bitcoin price drops drastically, and ends up reaching only $70k as its new ATH. That is still a good price for bitcoin and for long term holders, they can gain huge profits already if they start selling. But i believe, bitcoin is still capable of reaching new heights in the year 2022 so i think there will be no big issues if we can only reach $70k for this year.
3090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to avoid all scams? on: November 14, 2021, 06:30:24 PM
As for me, it isn't possible but you could always find ways to get rid of it. Doing a series of research would be an advantage and being observant and skeptical has an edge. Just keep in mind that not everything that we read on the internet about a certain coin is true so doing follow-up research is still necessary.

Crypto market is full of scams and irony is that there is no absolute method to avoid these scams. We can minimize the risk of getting scammed by doing research (very serious type), there is no other method. Even there are people who invested in projects after doing weeks of research and the project turned out to be a scam. You can read or post about the coin you want to invest in here, read what senior members say about that.
Crypto market scams will always be inevitable and so there are still no perfect ways on how to combat them, we just need to do more diligence in making researches because its the best way so we can prevent from being scam. But there are still instances that even how well you prepared for that project and even have sleepless nights from doing researches, but at the end of the day, the project just only happen to be a scam. Maybe let's just accept the fact that scamming will be here for a lifetime, and so we need extra efforts to avoid scams as much as we want to.
3091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No one can continue ignoring Bitcoin on: November 14, 2021, 05:54:39 PM
If you mean traders and investors, then yes - it is simply impossible to ignore bitcoin now. If we are talking about ordinary people who are not interested in this, then many still do not know.
actually it is not about investors or traders that already Inside the market instead those who are doubting this market specially the very famous bitcoin.

Look at the post and not just posting regarding the title.

Anyone still ignoring Bitcoin at a time like this is probably still living in a stone age. Bitcoin has come to stay, and the earlier it is accepted the better for us all. However, regrettably, some persons still doubt it authenticity.
Nope they are not instead most of them are afraid about the volatility and the decentralization in which they being missing here.
Yes, they are afraid believing that it will be a threat for their investments. When in fact, volatility will instead lead them to a more huge profit if they chose to hold rather than panic selling once the market dumps. And when it comes for decentralization, its a good thing than investors remain anonymous all the time so they can gain financial freedom without the interruption of the government, and they will not be obliged to pay taxes knowing its definitely a big amount that will be deducted from their profits.
3092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 14, 2021, 11:14:54 AM
Dennis Schröder continues his great game, against Cavaliers he leads the team by scoring 28 points, unfortunately, they lose in this game.
They are in control in the first 3 quarters but in the 4th quarter, Cavaliers played more defense and they got a win with only 2 point margin.

The 4th quarter score was 29-15, just one quarter and the Cavaliers were able to beat the Celtics this game.

Still, that inconsistency in defense was very evident here, 2nd time I saw a 4th quarter meltdown of the Celtics.
3093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 14, 2021, 10:23:52 AM
The two former world champions will be fighting again in December, I think this fight will be more worth the wait than the show between Jack Paul and Tommy Fury which will also happen in December Grin Grin.
In my opinion both boxers are the best boxers so far in the lightweight, and of course the fight will be a fierce fight even if the fight is non-title, so far both boxers have a pretty good record, Commey so far recorded a total of 33 fights with 30 wins and three defeats and Lomachenko has 15 wins with two defeats from a total of 17 matches he has played

I would love to watch this fight. Lomachenko is an incredibly technical boxer and it is interesting to watch him. Despite the fact that the opponent is an obvious underdog, he is still a worthy opponent and the fight should not become too one-sided. As for betting, unfortunately the odds look too uninteresting to place a bet - 1.15, maybe during the battle it will be possible to try to guess in which round the knockout will be.

That was a similar comment I read when Loma face Lopez, people thought that Loma would actually beat Lopez but what happened is the exact opposite of what the majority of people are thinking.  This is a big test for Loma, if he'll win this fight, then for sure he will get a chance to have a rematch against Lopez which I'm pretty sure will be one of the biggest fights next year, or the winner of the Lopez vs Kambasos Jr.
3094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: November 13, 2021, 09:48:09 PM
Many of them fight because of money since there's a huge prize on this industry especially if they won and became famous, look at what Pacquaio did for sure many poor boxers make him as inspiration and want to be like him which we all know that he go rags to richest and became wealthy just because of boxing. Philippines have so many talented fighters and we see young champions rising up right now and the question here now is who will follow the track of Pacquaio.
I'd say most but only a few I guess gets to the top as being famous. He's was inspiration of the many athletes in this generation here in the Philippines and I guess even abroad not just in boxing but other sports too. It's not about the money but some most likely emulate him for the dedication he puts throughout his career. That's a vague question at the moment but likely not gonna see a new one in the decades to come comparing his legacy.

Exactly, he is a legend in the sports of boxing as he made a history of being an 8 division world champion that even the greatest boxer they recognize has not achieved that.

Nowadays, getting undefeated in boxing is not any more hard as we have a lot of undefeated boxers now, but getting the same success of Manny Pacquiao, I guess that would not be surpassed anymore as I don't anymore see anyone who may be like Manny in the future, even if they said Inoue could follow the footstep of Manny in boxing.
3095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 13, 2021, 08:55:28 PM
He is not a type of player who can do that kind of damage consistently. I will go for Tatum as he is more dedicated compared to Schoder.

Yes, he contributes good numbers from this OT game against Bucks, but I doubt he will continue making that same game from time to time
let us say it's time for him to bring his value and try to have another chance for a much bigger contract.

If Boston sees him as a valuable asset, who knows maybe they will offer him, but it can't be concluded just by playing big in one game, right?
Of course, one great performance doesn't mean anything, although it's worth noting that Schroder has scored 20 or more points in the last three games. I guess he will have a good chance to get a huge contract if he continues to play at the same level throughout the season and helps the Celtics reach the playoffs.

I agree, but the good thing is that he is he back as a part of a core team, similar to what he did with the Lakers. He became the main point guard, but the Celtics needed more from Dennis this tournament and hopefully this game is just the beginning for him to really improved and be 'consistent' because that's why the Celtics lacks specially in play-offs. Let Tatum take over the team, but at least Dennis will be there to provide some help day in day out.

They can expect that from Dennis as he will make sure to have a good season so he'll get a shot with a big contract he always dreamed of. This is his opportunity to show to the management that he is an all star caliber player, they just need to trust him like how the Hawks trusted him in the past.
3096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hodl or change? on: November 13, 2021, 06:37:39 PM
Hello,
If someone bought the Dogecoin at the highest price, then it is better to wait or change it to other cryptos and make money by exchanges and swap?
Any idea welcomed.

Thank you.
For a coin which already pumped and dumped, i think better to change to another coin because waiting for Dogecoin hype will need long time (but can be in short) i mean Dogecoin can be pumped again if get hyped again or maybe if pumped by whales. So for a coin which not developed much like Dogecoin, take profit in right time is important.
If we can avoid meme coins from the start, i think it will be better so we will not be in trouble holding it continuously but with no definite time to make profits. Maybe as long as there is hype that pumps them, it will be a good time to sell. Because once the hype will be over, i don't think we can see them rising again, not unless there are big whales who will make their prices pump again.

However, seeing the present price of dogecoin right now, its more on a correction so once the price pumps again, better sell it immediately or change them into some other coins that at least have real utility case so you will be at peace thinking that their value will keep on rising once there is still a good demand for that coins.
3097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the meme coin still worth holding on: November 13, 2021, 06:12:38 PM
What's your reason for still holding the meme coin in your wallet, and when do you intend selling it all off to buy a more purposeful coin or token. Are you holding just because of the hype, or do you have any analysis be it technical or fundamental technique that is giving you a go ahead signal to hold more or the hype is doing the work for you.



Once I invest in meme coin it would be that I see it at the right time, that is if it has not already done a big upward movement and I might risk some affordable amount on that but we have seen Dogecoin come a long time in the crypto space and one of the meme coin I would invest in also even after it first big move upward is SHIB cos I believe it might have something more than just being a meme coin.
SHIB may be better compared to dogecoin but at the end of the day, they are just both good for short term investments as they have no real life usage but only joke coins from the start. Yes, meme coins are very profitable these days and definitely a lot have been making profits from it. But there is no guarantee that if a big price correction will hit the market and will leave the market to dump seriously, i don't think they can still survive. So there is really a big risk investing in them. We may invest in meme coins but on the amount we can afford to lose and if we see opportunities to make profits, just sell and never be carried with your own greed as it will cause more serious losses in the end.
3098  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks will die crypto will take over in 5-10 years on: November 13, 2021, 05:42:02 PM
The banks will still exist in the next 5 years but I can not predict if that is about 10 years later because with the growth of the technology, that can change the bank's system and we are difficult to know what the government plan with the banks. Maybe banks will use a new system and adopt a blockchain method or the banks can use their own new system and not related to the blockchain because that will depend on each government plan. But people who do not want to use a new thing will still rely on the bank because it is hard to adapt to the situation and still prefer the old methods.
The growth of crypto users has been started to increase and it will be even more visible in  the next 5-10 years. And with this positive change for crypto, the government will always exist with its centralized banks and will continue to serve the people. And with the inevitable growth for crypto enthusiasts, i think the government will create plans for banks to start adopting crypto transactions with fiat still existing. Since there will be two groups already for crypto and fiat users, then banks should also learn to cater to them both, the reason that banks should never be extinct.

JPMorgan renews prediction that bitcoin could hit $146,000 - and says it's acting more like digital gold than ever

The guys have updated their predictions and I find the new value interestingly high. The new 146k has the potential imho to be the start of a new pump.
Would it be enough for some nice week-end speculation?  Cheesy
By the looks of it I would suggest that it will be 2 ahead 1 back, that is the type of movement that makes bitcoin go up strongly. Sure, it goes up a lot, and then it goes down a little bit. So, maybe it will be 75k and then 71k then 78k then 75k then 81k then 77k and so forth. If we could do this consistently then we could see it reach 146k and even more. However it will not be easy to do something like this, it will take a while to reach those levels. To be able to be consistent in the crypto world is not something that I would expect bitcoin to do, it is almost always unexpectedly moving up or down, so I hope that it does happen that way but I am not going to hold my breath for it neither.
The price of bitcoin will never follow a straight upward trend, it will always be associated with minor dumps in between. But at the end of the day, you will see that bitcoin can reach a very high value, even higher than $146k, but the question is when. For me, i don't likely believe that this year bitcoin will hit JP Morgan's prediction, bitcoin moves so slow this time. But by next year, probably it will happen if not in the 1st quarter, then maybe in the 2nd quarter of the year.
