3081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: May 07, 2022, 11:51:19 AM
I am 1 of the 5 who voted for Bivol to win this. Who are the 4 other voters? Let us not be ashamed and show ourselves hehehe. I reckon Bivol only to win from 4.70 to Bivol to win through a decision with 7.80 are good odds considering that everyone is certainly overestimating Canelo for this fight. Is there a sportsbook that offers odds that this might end by split decision? This might not end very easily for Canelo.

Here mate. I picked Bivol based on Canelo's lone light heavyweight experience. I think an old past primed Kovalev was boxing well. Few people knew that Kovalev never had the chance to heal his body after a life and death battle with Anthony Yarde. And I don't know why Kovalev was not throwing his usual power shots in that fight.

Bivol is younger and has more 12 round fight experience than Kovalev. So Bivol should not go tired punching and moving a full 12 round fight.

Canelo got an iron chin. And Bivol is not a KO artist but his power punches should be enough to deter Canelo's aggressiveness. I haven't made a bet because it is hard to bet Canelo by decision especially in Vegas. Canelo did have too many close fights before that many thought he lost especially to Golovkin and Lara. Even on Canelo's only defeat from Floyd where he was clearly out punched still ended in a controversial majority decision.

May nagpupustahan na ba sa inyo? May nakita ako kanina at may handicap pa (BBM -1.5M) Grin

Baba naman ng -1.5M, dito sa amin ang handicap ay BBM -8M, okay kaya yon. Laki kasi ng gap sa survey kaya nagkaganon pero mag-translate kaya sa actual voting yong survey or magkano kaya ang lamang ni BBM kay Leni kung siya ang mananalo, i-cover kaya nya yong 8M?

Sana walang dayaan na mangyayari sa Lunes, baka mitya pa ito para magkaroon tayo ng Revolutionary Government hehe.

Naku baka magkaroon ng civil war yan kung magkadayaan lalo na't maiinit ang laban ng presidential election ngaun. May rumors pa na may mga kandidato na sumusuporta sa NPA.

Kalipat ko lang ng tirahan at sobrang tahimik na dito. Dati doon sa tinirahan ko sigurado may pustahan doon. Sobrang maliit nga naman ng -1.5M na spreads. -8M yan medyo palag na yan. Around 67 million voters meron tayo. Palagay natin ang bumoto ay nasa 65M lang. Half jan o 33M malamang kay BBM talaga. Kung 1/4 kay nanay Leni, so around 16M + 8M = 24M. Meron pa din diffrence na 9M pero baka kaya na yan dahil malakas LP pagdating sa pera, ads, connections at influence. Tulad nung dating presidential elections nanalo pa nga si Leni at nag second pa si Roxas.

Sana nga walang dayaan na mangyari para iwas gulo.

Round 18 Ranking

- Grabe naglaro pala si Embiid. Kahit hindi tulad ng dati performance niya pero naka double-double pa din at malaking bagay talaga dahil kahit dumikit ang laro ay kontrolado pa din nila. And then biglang pumutok si Tyrese Maxey to seal the game.
- At ito na nga, nakakuha na ng isang panalo si pareng Luka. Kapansin-pansin pa din talaga ang discrepancy ng rebounds ng dalawang teams. Ang dami nga lang turnovers ng Phoenix kanina.

Isa na muna para bukas. Baka kasi magwild si Luka. Nakakahiya raw sa kanya hindi makuha ng panalo kahit isang beses. Cheesy Kaya pass muna sa laro nila bukas.

Miami Heat- Wala pa din si Embiid sa game 3 as per initial report. Kaya itodo nato ng Miami Heat at baka makabalik pa sa 4th game at least naka 3-0 na sila. Kahit homecourt ng Philadelphia kapos pa din talaga sila.
3086  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: May 06, 2022, 07:50:21 AM
There will be alternatives but it will not happen that fast. It will be very costly too. There will be a lot of discussions to environmentalists and various stakeholders. There's geopolitical issues too that need resolutions like Algerian gas going Europe but most likely needs to pass thru Morocco.

The fact that Germany will be spending billions of dollars to fast-track their LNG terminals means it needs to be utilized for many years to come to cover its cost. I wonder what will be the future of Russia once Europe becomes free from its gas. More wars? Maybe more Russian aggression in order to salvage favorable economic deals? And NATO can freely move against Russia too.

I voted for Boston. I noticed that I just made the poll at a tie.

Now that it is confirmed that Khris Middleton is out in games 3 and 4, it will be very difficult for Giannis and his team to beat the Celtics even in Milwaukee. There is a big difference between Boston Celtics and that Chicago Bulls team. Boston can defend well and Marcus Smart might return in game 3. Giannis teammates better show their a-games offensively and defensively or they will lose these 2 homecourt games.

^^ Yeah, it's hard to read the body language of a fighter if he is intimidated or not. But this is boxing, so for sure you have to think that you want to take the head of your opponent during stare downs,  Grin

But just like the rest who voted in this poll, Bivol is the underdog and it seems boxing fans are not giving him the chance to topple the king yet.

Does the face off matter whether who is intimidated?

I think so, a little. Final weigh-ins are normally done one day before the fight. So if you could effectively intimidate or even affect the mind of your opponent on that day, your opponent could not easily adjust anymore because it is going to be the fight day the next day. If you successfully get into the mind of your opponent at weigh-in, that might cause him a little trouble, perhaps in his sleep or whatever, that could affect him the following day.

This is what I'm trying to drive up, if you could have even for a brief moment see that your opponent is intimidated, you already score some points. Even in non contact sports, let's say body building. Flexing your muscles in front of your opponents might terrify them and it could haunt them during the competition. And that's why in boxing, trash talking, another form of intimidation is common even before the actual fight.

Well, we have two non-trash talking fighters this weekend. Canelo with his current status will never get intimidated. And we have Bivol who's got a poker face. I never saw Bivol's face changed either in a bad situation or in a situation where his opponent is already hurt. In one interview, Bivol was asked what is his message to Canelo, he said he don't know what to say and then went on to just say "Maybe. Hi! Hello!". Cheesy

3090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 05, 2022, 08:31:16 AM
Whoever win the fight in between Inoue and Donaire then other fighter would really be in next in line.Im rooting  for Donaire on having a good
revenge on this upcoming rematch.

If I'm not mistaken, if by chance Naoya Inoue will win this fight against Nonito Donaire, he will now move on to the next weight class as that was planned for a long. It's just that, Donaire's chance to make a rematch becomes possible as he becomes a champion again and Inoue now has a purpose to unify it.

I'm not just familiar with the rules about the interim title and official title. Paul Butler got the interim WBO Bantamweight title but if my knowledge is correct, it will be upgraded to what Casimero is left. Anyone can correct me here. Therefore, there's a chance that Paul Butler's name will be involved in these Bantamweight Champions competition replacing John Riel Casimero.

Yes. It is automatic when a champion is removed or vacate a belt then an interim champion will be elevated as the new champion. Unless boxing politics stops it from happening. Paul Butler is the new WBO champion now. Casimero is still ranked number 1 in the WBO but I am not sure when can he get a mandatory shot at Butler considering how good and dangerous he is. Paul Butler will duck Casimero and will hand pick safer opponents for his voluntary defenses.

And if Inoue can beat Donaire, I think it is safe to say that there is a very very slim chance that Paul Butler will fight the monster. Donaire will have a better chance of unifying all the 4 belts considering he is also signed with Probellum, the same promoter of Butler. Paul Butler and Probellum knows it will be a suicide mission fighting Inoue. Unless Top Rank and ESPN (Inoue's promoter and network) overpays Butler which I also doubt. Probellum is more connected to PBC (Showtime and Fox) and it has some bantamweights in its stable. So they might try to hold the WBO belt in their network rather than throwing the belt to another rival network considering Butler would be a huge huge underdog over Naoya.

But just like the rest who voted in this poll, Bivol is the underdog and it seems boxing fans are not giving him the chance to topple the king yet.

Everything will be tested once both feet already inside the ring, Bivol needs to work things out and give Alvarez a hard fight, never to give him ideas on how he can beat you as he is really good on doing his stuff after he recognize his advantage, Bivol should be the one that more aggressive to create intimidation while Alvarez still doing his assessment.

Keep changing paces to bother your opponent and don't allow him to catch your strategy. He will have a better chance if he has
multiple strategy to use for Alvarez.

I really hope Bivol pushes Canelo backwards and be the aggressor throughout the fight. I think Bivol will win most of the rounds especially the early rounds. Canelo needs to hurt Bivol in order to change the tempo of this fight. Hopefully Bivol can take some of Canelo's power shots too. I really believe that in order to intimidate Canelo, Bivol needs to hurt him. Or at the very least Bivol needs Canelo to feel his power punches and let him feel that he is in danger too. Because in Canelo's last fights, he was not hurt and intimidated. And this prompted Canelo to becoming always the hunter, analyzing and calculating on how to execute his prey.

Finally! I'm glad that at last e-sabong finally came into a halt. Generally, I am not a fun on letting animals kill each other for entertainment or gambling purposes. I can see for myself that a lot of people were addicted into it. I saw and heard many people losing their savings, motorcycles, cars and other assets. Some were not able to pay their debts because of this. At least this was done right away before the current president term ends. A weak president might not be able to do this or maybe there will be a lot of debates in the congress and senate which is a waste of time.

2 games. Sa Sabado pa to pero lapag na natin. Di ko alam kung segurista odds to o desperado odds ng mga bookies. Cheesy
- Nakakagulat ang odds. May kaunting plus pa ang Miami. Meron na din siguro chance bumalik si Embiid. So far wala pang committment at update sa status ni Embiid para sa Sabado na laro.
- Low plus na lang sa Mavericks dahil homecourt nila. At di raw excited mamingwit ng isda si Luka Doncic kasama si Jokic. Makakabawi pa kaya to?

Round 17 Ranking

- Iyakan na James Harden. Mukhang wala talaga sila pag-asa hanggat walang Joel Embiid sa 76ers. Ang ganda rin ng laro sa Miami. Super efficient, they were 51.3% sa kanilang fg at 48.3% sa kanilang 3 pts shooting.
- Ito ang di ko inasahan na matambakan pa ng 20 points. Pero dikit din naman talaga ang laro then bigla na lang iniwan ng Suns ang Mavericks sa 4th qtr. Sa totoo lang okay naman pinakita ng Mavericks except na lugi talaga sila sa rebounding. Ang extra-ordinary na nangyari ay ang 64.5% fg at 52% 3-pts shooting ng Suns. So ibig sabihin may pag-asa pa din.

Phoenix Suns- Tingin ko mashort pa din ang Dallas mamaya. Walang pinagbago sa score ng mga laro nila kahit nung regular season scores nila. Sana nga lang wag madale sa spreads.

Miami Heat- Nagkamali ako ng bet kanina dapat Phoenix yun. Kaya paninindigan ko na lang din. Sana pumalpak ulit mga plano ni Doc. Ang taas pa naman ng spreads.


Nako sir magiging invalid to dahil bawal mag edit as per rules natin. Pero may chance pa naman to ma-quote para maging valid.
Medyo masakit yung dalawang talo kanina pero inaasahan ko na rin yung pagbawi ng Memphis at Boston.  Tongue

Sana maligtas ulit ng mga reliable home favorites, hanga ako sa Sixers doon sa huling laro nila nakasabay sila sa first half pero sinara din ng Heat yung pagasa nila pag dating ng second half. Nakakakaba ng konti yung dami ng nakalista na questionable sa Miami pero sigurado naman na lalaro sila diba.

Miami Heat -8.5
Phoenix Suns  -6.5

I find this match up, funny and nonsense. I was glad their first scheduled fight was cancelled although it still ended up with Tank cherry picking another one. And now it is still happening. Cheesy

Every lightweight in the world wants a shot at then unified champion Teofimo Lopez. After Teofimo lost all his belts, everyone's attention shifted to his conqueror George Kambosos. Every lightweight want to take those real belts Kambosos is holding. But while everyone is busy trying to get a done deal with Kambosos, Tank Davis is snubbing it and prefers to cherry pick again. Tank Davis is a fake lightweight champion because a super WBA champion exists.

I do heard that Tank and Floyd are now at odds. So hopefully after this nonsense fight (which I still hope Rollie scores and upset), Tank will fight the real champions and contenders in this division.

I am still using Sportsbet.io up to now because I haven't experienced problems there. I can only remember 1 issue and it was solved in the same day. Nitrogensports with all due respect is now red-tagged. I also like Nitrogen but they don't have too many choices and I also prefer Sportsbet's UI.

^^ Yeah, Just woke up and surprised to see that the Bucks is down, it seems that the outside shooting of the Celtics is good in this game.

And then Giannis is being check in this game, no easy shots for him and the usual double or triple team when he has the ball. We might see 1-1 tonight.

Bucks is indeed easy to counter if only Giannis has a good shooting percentage while the rest of his team has low points contribution especially Jru Holiday. His game tonight is not same compared on game 1 while Jaylen Brown and Tatum step up on there performance which punish the struggling Bucks. I really thought Bucks can get this game base on there game 1 performance but his team mates is dragging down Giannis.

Well, game one's very poor fg on Boston is very unusual too. I really really doubt it happens again that easily, let alone a back to back very low fg. Considering prime Tatum and JB. And there is so much playoffs experience in this Boston team. Although I have to admit that I didn't take a bet because I thought game 2 will be closer and Boston might not cover the spreads. Dang, they raining points to an early lead. Boston's threes were doing well too.
