3161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: September 24, 2021, 06:04:42 PM


Pacquiao proved that age was not a factor when he defeated Broner and Thurman last 2019, at the age of 40. So Donaire can still do it as he is only 38 years old this year. So it is all about experience, training that will majorly influence their fight inside the ring. If Donaire will emerge as winner, who knows, he may face Inoue again.

Donaire is still good at 38 years, there's no trace of his age when he fought Nordine Oubaali he is very fast and very accurate if he can still show that deadly form in this kind of fight, Graballo is in big trouble they have the same style like Nordine Oubaali, I still consider Donaire a heavy favorite if he can still show that deadly form he showed in his last fight.

He will be the heavy favorite for sure, he is the current champion and I think he will continue to hold that belt and will get a big fight before he will officially retire. There's nothing to prove anymore as he has become already as one of the best fighters in the Philippines, but just like Manny Pacman, he continues to make easy money while he can still fight.

They don't have the same status, Pacquiao is a legend while Donaire is not, he is popular, yes, but he is just an ordinary boxer. However, despite my opinion, I will still bet on Donaire to win the fight as obviously, his opponent does not have a caliber of a champion, and Donaire marking 1 on Gaballo's undefated record is big time.

On the contrary, I would say that Donaire is a legend in his own, he could be a potential hall of famer. He held belts in 4 weight classes and has good resume as well. Of course as far as status, Pacquiao is the most recognisable name in the sports. If Reymart has the same style as Oubaali which Nonito destroys, then it will end the same here with another KO win by Donaire.

My favourite team in the new season is going to be Brooklyn Nets again. They would have become the champions in the last season also but they struggled with injuries a lot. I hope to see them more powerful in this season and they should be able to qualify for the finals nicely.
I'm currently favoring the Bucks over the Nets to represent the East. It seems drama is going to ensue once the season starts between Kyrie and other players. We know it's already ongoing between Kyrie and management. The Bucks has been pretty silent and focused on defending the title.

I'm not very sure about Bucks actually. They had a very productive season last. I really liked Giannis' performance also. However, I don't see them as a consistent team. Giannis can't carry the team second time in a row I think. But they can still qualify for the conference finals as they are really strong. Maybe we are going to watch another clash between these two teams but this time I'm favoring Nets.

They have been very consistent last year that's why they won the championship. If they are not, then obviously, they wouldn't win the series against the Nets. The Nets rely on their big 3, if one or two of them gets injured just like last season, then it will be very hard for them, the key here is injury, Harden and Kyrie was injured in the playoffs. Giannis was also injured but was able to bounce back against the Hawks. so that will be the big difference. The Nets should be very careful of their big 3 to not get some kind of injury that will make them missed a lot of games.

Has anyone watched the J&T Banka Ostrava Open? it doesn't seem so festive, even though I saw there are some famous women like Sakarri and Martincova where she can meet on quarter-final today.
Martincova has won on 16 rounds vs Pavlyuchenkova while Sakarri has won vs Ostapenko on 16 rounds yesterday. I think Sakari will win the match and going to the semifinal.

 I watched the game between Sakkari and Ostapenko and Sakkari destroyed Ostpenko in straight 6-2 6-4. For me Sakkari looks really good in this tournament and i think she can even win it if she continues to play like this. Should be an easy win against Martincova in todays match

Yeah, lots of potential on Sakkari.

Lost my parlay bet on the Metz Open, and regarding Andy Murray march on this tournament, it has ended as he lost to the top seed Hurkacz in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3. So Hurkacz will be facing Gojowczyk in the quarterfinals. Then Carreno-Busta vs Rune on the other hand. I bet both top seeds are going to win in 3 sets.

We have only ten days left for the pre-season games to start! I've already missed the regular season and the playoffs a lot. I don't usually watch pre-season games. But I see that we are going to have a really awesome game on Oct 3, Brooklyn Nets vs Los Angeles Lakers. I wonder if we will be able to see the usual starting five for both teams. If we do, then I will definitely watch this game. It can be a really delightful one and I would like to just enjoy watching the game.

If you are not betting, then obviously, you will not watch the regular season. But for bettors it' s important because they will see how his favourite team is doing and then can gauge every game as who is will win, what will be the handicap or if a team can make an upset, hence underdog bets. Teams changes or rotates their starting five in the initial phase of the regular season because they will have to experiment a lot and find the perfect line up. I'm sure though the starting game will be one of the most watch NBA opening season game.

One of my favorite famous boxers GGG.
He is undefeated and considering a stronger boxer and he is a middleweight champion and ranks #7 on TBRB's pound-for-pound list.
But why his opponent is Murata seems a weak fighter to me challenging on the beast. Good luck Murata.

Not sure if you have seen the second fight between GGG and Canelo. But GGG lost that fight, although it is very controversial result.

I never heard of Murata, probably this is just a get busy fight for GGG, he has a contract and promoters need to honour this one to at least give him one fight a year. In any case, if Murata is coming out of a 2 year hiatus, then I don't expect him to pull an upset against GGG, even if GGG is nearing 40 years old.
3166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 23, 2021, 12:23:08 PM
Ok from what I read, Caleb proved that he is not a keyboard warrior and tell everything on Canelo's during their face-off, specially the accusations like he is a cheater, and then calling Canelo MF. So Alvarez was feed up with all of Caleb's antic. And he said that this is extra motivation and he takes it personally. So I'm smelling another knock out win for Canelo, doesn't matter which round, he will go out and really hurt Caleb here.
3167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elizabeth Warren claims on: September 23, 2021, 11:55:37 AM
A six-month period has seen $80 million stolen from Crypto as a result of scams, claims Elizabeth Warren. Aside from the $11.11 Billion in fines US banks received for shady business, she neglects to mention the $12 Billion in overdraft fees consumers will pay to banks in 2020!

What is your opinion in this regard?

$80 million is just a drop in the ocean resulting from crypto scams. Of course, they won't mentions about the scams that banks have been pulling in the last 6 months. They just want to highlight everything, specially negative. Nevertheless, bitcoin enthusiast are not affective by this kind of news, we know where they coming from and this kind of statement coming from any government agencies will simply not stop. So I would say, just shrug your shoulders if we read this kind of news.

^^ Just to test the mettle on this tournament, I parlay Gojowczyk, Peter ML + Schnur, Brayden (+3.5), so let's see how it goes.

Good win by Murray, I never thought that he will win against Humbert here, so he perform very well and above expectations, should have put a even a small bet on him.

Ymer vs Busta - very interesting match, I will pass on this match, not that easy to analyse this. As I have said, will test first and see how my bet goes.

Finally, won my first bet after a series of losing streak in tennis.  It's @2.62 odd win.

Carreno-Busta was a close one in the first set, but when I say that Ymer has lost it, it's obviously that Busta will take over the second set.

Karen Khachanov (-3.5) @1.76 is my next bet. And then Alex De Minaur (-2.5) @1.90.

I haven't heard any FUD though, in any case the market is just moving as normal, sideways and then some retest of support/resistance, just like what we are seeing, now at $43k.

Hopefully, in the last stretch of the year, even if there's some kind of FUD and manipulation behind, the price will continue as predicted, a cool 6 digits before the end of the year. And it will only shows that bitcoin is resilient and unstoppable.
There's FUD news now on twitter that Biden will reject bitcoin so maybe this has a bit of an impact on bad news on bitcoin so it's going down and some are even panicking about how they are dealing with this, still we have to be calm about this situation because for me it's just a little manipulation to try some people against bitcoin.

I still have time until the end of the year, so I'm still a little optimistic that bitcoin can get through this, whatever the bad news is this won't make bitcoin worse so we have to stay in this situation.

if bad news about bitcoin continues to hit social media, worry that the market price will continue to plummet. Is there a rumor like that can be refuted by other positive rumors such as El Salvador legalizing bitcoin as a legal medium of exchange in their country. El Salvador's policy made big companies start adopting it, because bitcoin has become a means of transacting in their financial system.

I haven't heard of any companies starting to adopt bitcoin because of El Salvador legalising. Of course, their banks and other online and offline businesses will have to accept since it's a legal tender within their country.

Of course, if there is bad news, there will always some positive news to balance things out. Currently, the price has gone up to it's average of $43k, indication that the effect of this so called FUD are already gone as everything seems to be settling down.

This is the latest regarding Klay Thompson rehab:



https://twitter.com/warriors/status/1440085974369767427?s=20

So he is still on the calendar to play on the upcoming season. One of the most anticipated comeback I guess as he was out for 2 years already. And so far the news is all positive regarding his recovery. Of course, the real test will be his comeback game, so we can see if he can bounce back again and go back to his usual outside shooting.
3171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 22, 2021, 11:45:49 AM

Weird though to see Canelo's losing his cool on a press con, so I'm not sure if this was stage or not, but as you can see when he throw that left hook, it was not on a close fist but rather like a chop, a karate chop. But it took a damage on Caleb's face already, thus it will create an even greater hype for this upcoming fight. But the odds are not going to change, Canelo will still be the favourite to win this fight.

I think it was natural for Canelo to get emotional and throw a punch at Caleb Plant at the press conference, because at that time Caleb Plant had insulted Canelo's mother, I think the boxing committee should now forbid the fighters to say these things Bad things that are racist or insulting, religion and family in the faceoff session, but with this incident it is certain that the fight will be an exciting and bloody fight because of course Canelo will repay the insult with all his abilities in the ring later.

We don't know what's being said at their face off. But for sure Canelo has been taking mental notes of Caleb's attack on twitter. Or maybe he really did insult Canelo's mother that's why he lost his focus and push Caleb. As far as trash talking goes though, I don't think that they should forbid it, that's part of the game, it's either you take it on stride and used it as motivation, or lost your concentration, in that case that is already a psyche war victory by your opponents. And for sure Canelo will repay the insult with a knock out and take Caleb's 0.

^ It's now trading sideways, a pattern that is familiar with us, last month this is always the case and we close the month with green candles.

However, this month might be different, yes short term could be bearish, but not to the point that we are going down to $43k. We can maintain his phase up until the end of next month, and we are still good. Then wait for October to somewhat bring the bullish sentiments around and then new ATH at the end of the year.
3174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: September 20, 2021, 02:17:57 AM
Just wanted to share how sicked and wicked Shakur's body shot though,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSNoYNRDbNM

Look at how he time the body shot that took out Felx Caraballo soul in his last fight here. It was perfect that Felix can't get up and was counted out by the referee. Imagine Herring, who is very tall and Stevenson punishing him with the same perfect timing shot like that. So Herring be ready for that kind of attack coming from Shakur because definitely it will hurt.

Yes, he is sure a big body puncher, so Herring should be preparing for this body shot. I'm been looking at Herring's previous fight and he seems to be good at also countering, specially his uppercut since he is very tall for this weight class. So watch out for his uppercut, he did used it against  Carl Frampton and knock him out with overhand right. So definitely I'm getting more excited to see how the style clashes and who are going to fight Oscar Valdez.

That's one advantage of Shakur if Herring didn't to fight close, as he usually does. He should used his height advantage and reach to jab and keep away from Shakur's body shot. If not then sooner or later it will take the gas out of Herring and it will be decisive if the rounds go to 6 to 10 and then championships round. I think the body shot will be the key to Shakur's victory against Herring in this fight.
3175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can Cardano achieve $ 5 ? on: September 19, 2021, 04:49:47 PM
I doubt that it will replace ETH as ETH is a prime mover in the crypto sphere. So that will not be the first point of ADA, let is run and let investors find its way to them, not as competitor to ETH but as a project can become an alternative to the issues of ETH.

As far as the price achieving $5, just like what the devs behind are doing, continue to improve the project itself, release every iteration and better the previous one and then maybe investors will suddenly pour their money on them pushing the price in upward trajectory at the end of this year and the next coming years. It should be step by step and not rush thing to get tot $5.
3176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 19, 2021, 04:08:26 PM
Anyway, I'd really love to see a healthy Nets and Bucks going up against each other again in the ECF.  Nothing is more interesting than that in the coming playoffs.
Me too.

I'm hoping that Nets would really be the Nets that we've been expecting last season to be at the top. I guess it's now time for them to step up again despite the shortfall that they've got last season.

With Bucks, it's interesting that there's some changes with their roster.

There are almost close to the top, Durant was the only one healthy, but he carry the team, he just fell short. Harden too was injured in the playoffs and Kyrie. So just imagine their big 3 (regardless of the drama), become healthy last season, they could have won against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Only few changes on Bucks roster, their core remains intact and they get a replacement for PJ Tucker. So Bucks is still good for the upcoming seasons.
3177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 19, 2021, 11:42:26 AM
I tend to agree GGG is still prime even he's getting old, he has iron chin and can't be knocked out. I remember his fight with Steve Rolls, GGG's left jab was powerful and win KO'ed.
In his career he just draw and lost from Canelo, of course many people would still waiting their 3rd rematch. If both of them agreed to make more money from this match, it's not impossible will be happen in the future.

I don't think that the trilogy fight will ever happen. It is extremely difficult for the athletes to stay at their peak after 40, and GGG is inching closer to that level. He was ready for the fight, and wanted it scheduled at some point in 2019. It was Canelo who rejected the suggestion, after his controversial win in 2018. GGG is still a legend, but I really doubt whether he is still at the peak which he was in 2018-19. But Canelo need to take up the challenge, at least in 2022. Else it will remain as the sole negative point in his career.

I think the sole negative point will be his lost to Floyd, yes, he not giving a trilogy and waiting for GGG to age 40+ before accepting the fight will also be negative, but Floyd lamented the same, he is undefeated but still people will always find a way to bash his records for not facing a particular fighter during their primes, like the Pacquiao fight. Although he defeated Manny, but many will argue that Floyd should have face him when Manny was destroying everyone. Floyd fought Manny when he just come from a Marquez knock out. But in any case, a huge payday for the trilogy fight and even if GGG is 40++ by that time, he would accept it in a heart beat, but I don't expect it to be competitive as the the first two fights.

Anyone looking at the Istanbul Atp challenger tournament?
Just saw some odds, but I'm not familiar with the players name. Not sure if others are betting or skipping this one.
There's still a lot of tennis tournament going on around, just like the Istanbul ATP challenger.
But as you have said, this kind of tournament are relatively small so no known players are entering. Better just wait for other tournaments in the calendar like the Astana Open, and then we have Moselle Open or the Laver Cup in the US.

It's better in my opinion to skip these small tournaments for betting. Because you don't know about the player and his opponent. So you are kind of hitting in blank. It's a hit-or-miss chance. So I'm gonna sit around and wait for the upcoming bigger tournaments and bet on them. But yes, if you know about the players or have seen their past matches or stats, you can bet on them Smiley.

Yes, myself got burn early on betting on unknown players so I skip this small tournaments, because there are a lot of surprises and that might rekt your parlays.

So for me, yes better wait for mid to big ATP tournaments wherein there's a lot of entry, familiar names that can you can analysis before making your bet. Of course there could be some names that will come up on this smaller tournaments, but it's really unpredictable.

I have tried that before on lesser tournaments with players that were not familiar and
based on the odds of the match. It turned out to be a wasted excersize, some
winners but mostly losses. I stick with the familiar players now.

Same here, even If I look for some sites that give tips and predictions about the incoming games or tournaments, still a miss or hit as far as my betting exercise goes. So really not advisable, unless you really throw some money on underdogs and then him the jackpot from those huge odds. Tennis tournaments are held every month, no need to bet on every single one of them. Just use our betting money wisely and we will be good when some big tournament comes. At least just like saving your money and then goes all-in on one great tournament with a lot of high rank players entering.

Bitcoin plummeted again on September 7 2021.BTC dropped by 54.7% on March 12 last year, by 12.54% on September 3 last year, and by 29.99% on May 19 this year. And 18.65% on September 7.
There were four reasons for the fall on September 7th:
1,The fall in US stocks caused Bitcoin to fall at the same time.
2,Singapore regulation.
3, SEC wants to sue coinbase.
4,It is related to El Salvador
Are you scared?Is there any hope for the future?
Fear occurs in people who are not sure of the established strategy and do not set a loss target in investment. I never thought behind the market downturn there were some reasons as you mentioned. I only learned from an experience, when there is a decline this could be a correction. don't rush the decision to sell all assets, I'm sure the crytocurrency season will last until the end of the year.
When the price of a cryptocurrency is falling, you can overcome it by doing a technical analysis. This is done to see if the price of your crypto asset will rise again, or fall deeper. If I see it, the market is currently in a sideways period after experiencing a decline a few weeks ago and has the potential to experience a technical rebound. But the technical rebound is also a bit long, maybe in the next few months.

Nah, I don't think that when your portfolio is down, you will immediately go to TA, Lol. All you have to do is just remain calm during the storm and not to panic. If you do TA and see that the price will still continue to go down then what?

It's just the experience, some have been in crypto for years that when they see the price going down, they don't panic, but rather take advantage of the situation and buy the dip.
3180  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid-19 vaccination becoming a criteria to live in the world on: September 18, 2021, 10:11:15 PM
I'm not sure why there's such a large push for vaccine mandates when the vaccine works on an individual basis. Whether someone else gets vaccinated has no effect on you, yet they expect you to talk around triple masked after vaxxed, or might impose regulation on businesses when case counts go up? It's nonsense, and there isn't any actual science behind it. Covid is just going to keep mutating and it seems seasonal lockdowns might be a thing and more probable than a forced vaccine program.

Because reducing the number of infection vectors is a major part of defeating the virus.  The more people who are vaccinated, the fewer bodies the virus can propagate in.  Vaccines, masking, social distance- all three of these reduce infections.  It's insane at this point there are still people who don't understand how this works, but that's exactly why the world is still as bad off as it is- people who question why vaccines are necessary or why there are mask mandates.  You're very clearly part of the problem.

And we feel sorry for those who don't understand the difference between unvaccinated person getting the virus vs vaccinated one. It reduces the risk of people dying, as opposed to those who don't want or don't believed in vaccine and its good effect. I've seen people around me dead because they are unvaccinated, just sad but that's the way it is. I'm fully vaccinated now, everyone of us, the whole family and the good thing is that it's free, so I don't understand why there are still people not wanting to get it, until its too late.
