^^ I do agree, he is following footsteps of Manny by going up in weight and winning belts.
Who is following Pacquiao's footsteps? Canelo? No way. He is not the type of boxer that will follow someone. He is creating his own journey and challenging on much higher division doesn't mean he is following Pacquiao's footsteps. They are also in a different league with Pacquiao. What Canelo achieved or will achieve is his own legacy. He respects Pacquiao but does not follow him. Maybe what he meant is that he wanted to have the same achievement as Manny does, winning multiple titles in different weights. Manny has won 8 already as most boxing pundits put it, while Canelo is attempting his 5th in CW division but I think that's the most that he will got and could be in the company of some of the best boxers who have won 5 titles or more like Oscar or Floyd. Manny is on top though. |

Warriors vs Toronto game, Draymond and Steph might rest in this game as reported already, so this is a good chance for the Raptors to have a win against the top team right now.
I don't think they'll let them rest both Curry and Green since Jordan Poole is going to be sidelined due to covid health and safety protocol. However, Raptors will have a good chance to win in this game, since they were also able to cover the spread from their last couple of games and they also have a good game. Looking at the spread and odds, it really looks like the GSW is not going to play with the complete roster. I try to look at the sources of this news: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32892969/stephen-curry-draymond-green-several-golden-state-warriors-set-rest-toronto-raptorsThe Golden State Warriors are resting Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and several other players in advance of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Friday's 111-107 win over the Boston Celtics that he would discuss the possibility with GM Bob Myers of resting some veterans as the Warriors enter into the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a five game East Coast swing. So this could be true already, I think they are more willing to have Curry and the rest take a break as to not force their body and maybe who knows, injuries might happen to anyone of them. So right decision for Kerr to have them sit out against Toronto. |

After the odds it looks like the bookmakers have already decided who will win this fight.
It's hard to disagree that Arthur Beterbiev is a favorite in this match, but I'm surprised no one gives Marcus Browne a chance. After all, Betarbiev had a very long breake, and it's hard to say for sure whether he has been training solidly or drinking drinks during these two years..
And usually bookmakers, majority of the times are correct in predicting who will win when they put the odds out. And this is one example unless there is a upset that they don't anticipated in a fight. He is a boxer, and for sure he will have to train hard for this fight and not enjoy and drink beers as you say. Otherwise, his talent will be wasted. Yes, he may have some ring rust early, but still he gets the job done in this fight by knocking out Browne in the 9th round. |

The Lakers vs Timberwolves game today is crowded both in the court and the online stream again. Hope to see Isiah Thomas doing his best to regain his credibility and somehow get an extension or sign in by other teams. But the Minnesota is not an easy opponents especially when the rookie Edwards is playing well, in his last game he just managed to score 30+ points, if they can stop him in the early quarters, that would be good advantage for the Lakers.
But Davis seems out for the rest of the game after a possible injury, need more updates on this one.
That game was ugly. Felt like the Lakers were being bullied out there. Twitter is trending with the topic of trading Anthony Davis. It won't happen of course but it shows that the fans are fed up with him being injured and not dominating games. I think he should sit out for a while and let Dwight Howard take his minutes. That's the only way they're winning a championship in my opinion. Did you see Patrick Beverly's antics in the second quarter? Man he's annoying, but it's crazy seeing hall of famers getting taunted like that. I don't think that trading Davis is the best solution long term for the Lakers. Just so happen that he has suffered another injury and can't play 100% this season. I think the blame should be in the coach, in my opinion. And yes it was ugly but it was expected that the Lakers are going to lose, I have the Wolves -4.5 and it was a sweet win. Not that I'm not a fan of Lakers, but the Wolves just take advantage of the opportunity. |

^^ We will see, if Murata backs out of this schedule fight due to the postponement, it will be obvious that GGG has to seek other fights because he is already on the verge of retirement so he is going to milk his boxing career to the fullest before he goes out. Everyone is talking about Charlo as the best option for him though. But again, as I have said, still depends if Murata is still a willing opponent or not. As GGG as other options besides him, other champions to fight next year.

Hi everyone, I really need to know your opinion about the tweet from A Dogecoin and Tesla LORD, Elon Musk.
He said that he thought about quitting as a CEO and become an influencer, Full time.
Can some one tell me your opinion about this, it can be from crypto side, or another.
I need that because usually Elon Musk tweet and his actions so far, cause anything significantly, e.g. SHIB & Dogecoin. So, If we know what'll be happen in the future, We can start earlier to invest right now
And do you actually believed that? if yes then he has become a influencer to you mate. Just common sense, a billion dollar company that he help established and then he will just quit because he wanted to be a crypto influencer? common man. He can only go that far as influencer though, his latest tweet didn't move the market, unlike before, Which means that investors are tired of hearing and won't affect them. |

It is not easy to reach $75,000 this year since we are now in the middle of this month which means, we have at least 15 days to see the new year. So if the scenario is just to increase the price to $75,000, I think it will be difficult for bitcoin to reach that price because bitcoin is now down too deep and we do not know when the price will rise again. So maybe the bitcoin price can increase but it will be difficult if the price wants to reach $75,000 at the end of this year. Maybe it will happen in the next year but we still need to optimist that bitcoin will increase before the end of the year so we can back to make a big profit before the new year.
The OP didn't say that his prediction will be hit this end of the month or at least this year. He just said that if ever we enter another bullish phase and this might be next year, the next target will be $74k-$75k. So the big question is when it will happen as I believed it may take months for us to reach that price. In any case, some indicators still points long term that we are still poise to make a bull run and even maybe hit 6 digits. |

As expected for LeBron James even at his age of 37 years old. He's so committed in his physical training to give out his best in the court, trying to block any possible contact. He is reportedly to spend $1.5 Million to his fitness and physical trainings annually. So atleast, his investments to his body pays off.
That's just right because he is the king on NBA and he is making a lot of money, his salary alone this year already reach $41 million, plus he still has a lot of endorsement that would increase his income. We love to see him have more seasons and break the stats in the upper ranking. https://hoopshype.com/player/lebron-james/salary/Consider the amount of money he is paying as his investment, otherwise, he would not be able to achieve more in his career as he might have retired already or his production will go down. As of now, Lebron's production is still at a normal level. There's barely no changes if you look at his stats. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01.htmlLA Lakers will not regret giving him the contract becausehe can really provide, and a good leader as well. He still has the same productions, I agree with both of you, LeBron invested in his physical health, and he's benefiting in it. At his age, regular players are retired or slow, not but for him he still showing that athleticism. He's trying to continue being the King and working hard to stay in the league for more season. We don't know till when... True, he is one lucky guy to have that kind of genes and then couple with the advancement of sports science now, he was able to maintain his health and physicality even at age 37 and for sure we will see more of him or maybe him and his son together in the basketball court for the next 3 years or so. As for the Mavs, yes KP is the big head ache but Lebron was able to lead the Lakers to this hard fought victory. |

Hi all hope we are having an exciting time playing games this season it's a holiday period and I will like to know who the Dice lovers are, I have spent a lot of time playing dice and have learned various lessons which have helped me to develop and speculate the dice machine so am lead to ask do any of you have speculation/analysis on dice let discuss.
I don't understand why you mean speculate on dice, and regardless if it's holiday or not, dice will be one of the most popular games because of it's simplicity. Good for you that your experience has thought you a strategy that better suit your play, maybe it's up to your capital or bank roll or other factors. Nevertheless, dice is a pure luck based game so not sure what strategy have you developed for yourself. |

I'd like to thank Mavericks and Lakers both for making us watch a very competitive game last night. The normal time ended by 93-93 and we watched Lakers to beat Mavericks 107-104 after overtime. Lakers must be very happy about Davis' playing in this game also. Because he might not have played in this game because of an injury. The Lebron - Westbrook - Davis trio was so great. Mavericks still did a solid work but it wasn't enough for the win.
Yes, the big 3 of the LA Lakers are very efficient in this game, I hope they'll continue to win and build that chemistry. In that game, it showed that they can trust each other and in synch very well when they play, a team that does win in the OT are a good team as they were able to win even under pressure. Still good game by the Mavericks, as even without Luka, they were able to complete well against the Lakers. Yep, I thought that this will be a blow out game by the Lakers since Luka was out. But they give everything they have and could have won the game for the Mavericks. Nevertheless with this win, the big 3 of Lakers provided was is needed. Maybe in the later part of the season, they will blossom and have that chemistry we all have been waiting for them to be a good contender in the West. |

Anyway, it was something quite unexpected and didn't actually believe that we'll see a new record by at least December. Let time do the work.
i think this could never come in our days now as we are in mid December now yet there is no even sign of hitting 60k again. i believe that we must be ready now or we will be loser tomorrow , i have decided to take 1/4 of my funds out reserving if there will be bear happening soon so i have funds to buy in very cheap prices. $50k-$52k might be our best bet to end this year. Far cry from the once touted $100k that some modelling prediction (S2F) is pointing early this year. And for sure there are a lot of individuals disappointed on how the price will end this year. Hoping at least for a new all time high but it won't come. Good strategy hedging your funds because there's a lot of uncertainty next year. And as I have said, if we don't get to at least $50k at the end of the year, we might see a bear market soon. Right now we can only hope that bitcoin can recover soon and get out of the current tornado, the current price decline is arguably the worst weakening that has occurred in the last three months, and I personally don't want to think too far into all the possibilities it might happen, but I hope the bitcoin price can rebound to the $50K price resistance by the end of this month. I don't want to sound doom and gloom, but if you have been in the market for so long, you will be better if you are going to be ready and prepared for a long bear market, just saying. And it's inevitable, sooner or later we will enter a crypto winter. But in any case, still I want to see a bull run and go hit $100k or more as predicted by so many for this year. Obviously it won't touch that price, but hopefully if there is still a bull run next year so we should at least reach 6 digits as ATH. |

Even though the entire cryptocurrency and none crypto assets on the stock market price are down currently but the level at which my various altcoins portfolio crashed backward baffles me, please can anyone explain for me how the altcoins market works.
It's really hard to explain things in crypto market, just when you thought that they are supposed to move in this direction, it will go on the opposite. And for the altcoins market it's doesn't follow patterns although they may have correlations to bitcoin market. And since bitcoin is down, most of the altcoins are also down. |

Yup, the judges says otherwise, but after the fight, we've been informed that Inoue suffered a broken orbital bone. So I would say that if Inoue doesn't have the resiliency to continue and finished the fight with injury, Donaire could have won the fight without going to the judges score card. And this the reason why we wanted to see a rematch because Donaire can do better this time as he knows the style of Inoue already. |

They are still very effective for me as they shared the ball very well.
I agree. They still played quite well as a team. Curry was the most scorer of the team as usual but the contribution of the other players was also important. They wouldn't be winning otherwise. By the way, there was another great game also last night and I think it was even more delightful. Brooklyn Nets hosted Toronto Raptors. And after a very tough competition, Nets were the victorious team with a 131-129 score. They won the game after overtime. Harden couldn't play again due to illness but KD was there to play superbly and save the team. His statistics were like this: 34 pts, 13 reb, 11 ast. It was one of the most valuable triple-doubles surely. Surely because they won the game, I can say that KD is the definition of a real star like Kobe and MJ because he can carry his team to win alone, that is without his backup, and I love the Nets chances now especially if they will be complete in the playoffs. Still no news on Irving? What's the update of his vaccination? is he still gonna stand with his words? I think Irving will stand on his words that he won't take a jab. The Nets with KD has well adjusted already and even without Harden and Harris, they still manage to make a comeback and win in OT against Toronto. And you are right, KD can carry the team on his shoulder, and as long as he is shooting at least 50%, they are going to win games. |

Regardless though of any forums that talks about crypto gambling and as old as bitcointalk, this community remain the top go to and dominating the crypto market/gambling for so long that I will say that it become the authority already.
We've seen a lot of online casino's being introduced here, having their ANN thread and then they become the top casinos. So yes, there are a lot but this forum is the best.

The bitcoin market seems very different today compared to its previous years and history may not work this time as bitcoin is more dumping its price when it should be rising to reach new heights. But still, knowing the fact that bitcoin is even more unpredictable and surprises may come when we least expect it, so i'm not closing my mind that history has still its chance to repeat itself before this year ends. Well, we will only know once we get there. For now, stay optimistic and never resort into panic selling no matter what. History may repeat itself, but it may also be different from what happened. Expecting ATH during December is hard to come true as I think people are already wary of the downside about a potential bigger dump. If maybe ATH is not reached this December then I believe the market will experience a rapid correction in the end. The market is still very difficult to predict, while the new variant of covid greatly disrupts price growth because there is a close corelation with stock investors. We can only hope at a time although it looks like it will be difficult this year to $100K. I think it should be obvious by now that it is going to be very unlikely that we are going to see a repetition of what happened at December of 2017 during this month, however this is not as bad as people are thinking, after all even if we saw bitcoin reaching new ATHs back then that was also the beginning of the crypto winter we had to survive, so as long as we do not see bitcoin crashing like what we saw back then I will be satisfied with whatever result we get. Yeah, because we have been what? reaching ATH twice already for this year. Maybe we already reach the top on the $68k ATH or maybe there will be enough push next year but definitely not in December. So the pattern has broken already although as I have said, we still have 2022 to look forward for a still bullish momentum and not comparable to 2017 wherein it was the start of a bearish trend. So let's see how it goes, I'm looking forward already for 2022 and be ready for anything, (bull trend continue or start of a bear market). |

That’s the consequences they have to face on postponing this match and that’s fine for the defending champion because he can have more time to prepare and have a good trainings to defend his title and stay longer with it. We know that Japan is too strict with this, not unless they do this match on other country with a lesser restriction, this might push through early next year.
They can’t just change the venue easily, it will cost them huge money as well and beside Ioka is a Japanese so this might be the reason why they choose that location. Let’s deal with this since they already postponed the match and what to do next is to stay fit and active, stay focus and never get distracted by this delay. Ancajas has the advantage on this since he can still have more time to train because he is defending a huge title on his belt. It is true that most likely this is not an easy thing to do, but if the fight is delayed for too long it will have to be canceled or they will have to change the venue of the fight, and I suppose that canceling the fight should be even more costly, after all we must understand that in order to reach top shape boxers need a full team of specialists working for them 24/7, and if there is no fight then this means all of those expenses would have been for nothing. Oh well, if the fight is going to be cancelled then so be it. I mean this fighters have been training already when the news come out that it will be postponed because of Japan's health protocol. And so it is not sure when the fight will happen next year or not. If Ancajas will have another offer, then I would say grab it and win and then he can go back to Ioka again. |

Another bet I'm taking is the Houston Rockets +11, the Rockets have been impressive recently and I believe they're being underrated with +11 spread l, even though the Hawks are doing well, I think Rockets should cover this line.
Houston +9.5, it's a better odds for now 1.93 so I will take this one as well. Houston is playing very well in the last 9 games and winning 7 of them. And they usually a 4th quarter team bursting if they are trying to play catch up and then maintain if they have a good lead. Good luck to everyone That was some match, wasn't it ? Houston Rockets trailed by double digits for most period of the entire match, but that run they made in the 4th Quarter was surreal, D.J. Augustin and Gordon had a really great time. I wish I threw some bucks on the ML as well. That was a good win for the Rockets, was thinking they could only cover the spread since it was +10, but actually, they don't need it anymore because they beat the home team and snap their losing streak. Congrats to those who bet on them with a sweet ML. Yep, Rockets is no more a losing team (although they are still below .500), but at least they have put a string of victories and it seems they have find the chemistry already. Nets -5.5 for me against the Raptors, I think they can easily covered this spread if Durant will have a monster game again. He can do it against Toronto. |

Although the Warriors don't have an excellent squad (only Curry for me is a high level player), the GSW is playing very well, the team has chemistry and they are winning most of the games.... Unlike the Lakers, who unfortunately , having one of the best squad in the NBA today, he is still fighting for a playoff spot, with much lower performance than expected (I only did a GSW vs Lakers comparison)
If Klay Thompson returns like he was before and have chemistry with others players, I have no doubt the Warriors could be one of the favorites for this season's NBA title.
For now, we see only Stephen Curry doing the main job which is to help the team get wins by a huge performance. In the absence of Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors have been depending on Curry nearly all the time. This is not very healthy for a team in NBA. Because if your star player gets injured, you will start having enormous problems to deal with. So I hope the rumours turn out to be true and we can see Klay Thompson starting to play officially. What do you expect? When Curry doesn't score that much, usually GSW losses. But when he is hot, then chances are they are going to win. But the win against the Pacer is very close. It not for that Looney miracle follow up, we might see an OT game and Curry might tie or break the record of Ray Allen. But in any case, he can still achieved it next game against the Knicks. |
