Cashout is a useful feature only if you know when to use it and when not to use it, cashing out bets which you eventually win and not cashing out the ones you lose is a dreadful scenario and it happens with many gamblers. There is a small fees/edge when cashing bets, so don't cash it if the bet is about to be won.

About to be won can still lose especially if the game is close, and also, no gambler would cash out at a lower value of the actual potential win if the bet is likely to win, like 90% chances. The cash out feature is indeed useful because it's a way to secure a win and to minimize the loses but I stop using it as it's more fun to stay at the normal way of gambling which is a win or lose situation only.

I hope TNT can still win games and will get into the Finals.

Ray Parks announced that he will not play in the upcoming season.

TNT Tropang Giga’s Bobby Ray Parks not seeing action this season


Quote
“It is with a heavy heart that I will have to excuse myself and not partake in this year’s PBA season due to personal reasons which in particular, my family,” wrote Parks.

I think with his absence, TNT will have a better ball movement and Poguy will get more touch especially in the 3 point shooting.
How about you, what are your thoughts, is TNT better without Ray Parks or not?

That's also what I'm thinking when Parks got injured during the PBA bubble and I'm somehow correct in my speculation, Pogoy and Castro's touch of the ball increased, and though they lost the series their chemistry is back.

Manny Pangilinan, in his social media post, is very upset about this Parks leave on the PBA and it seems that he might do might something that might affect the cager's future.

This kind of attitude will not bring you a good future in the PBA, he might be boycotted by team owners.

I saw the post also and it doesn't look good for Ray Parks, and there are speculation that maybe this guy wants to get traded to any SMC teams. Hopefully he can still come back or still play in a good team but if his excuse is not substantial enough to justify his leave, then I think it would really affect his career as attitude matters in sports, and maybe if he is found out lying, he can be sanction by the league.

I'm one of the people who believe that Nets can make it this season with KD-Harden-Irving trio. They have no NBA championship in their history and they can finally succeed in this after many many years.

All of them have championship experience individually. well for Harden it's just a WCF but it's a western conference championship.  Grin

Their playoff performance will be very important. If they play like now at least, they have a big chance for it. Because they even manage to defeat their competitors in the absence of KD.
As long as they get a home court advantage in a series, I think that would be good enough for them to at last pass the firs round.
No team at the moment in the East can beat the Nets, that's my personal opinion though but it could change depending on how Nets will play in the long run.

Playoff is different ball game, most likely the team with more experience has greater chances. Just look at the Bucks previously. The became the number one seed but was upset.

The good thing with Nets is that they are very talented team and they have the experience with Durant and Irving to push the team.
playoffs sometimes upset the top seed, what happens to bucks your correct less experience in the playoffs but remember they Toronto got Leonard, who is a really good defender, and bucks performance is less like the regular season I think they have pushed too much in the regular season that they loss energy and momentum to the playoffs not that they have no experience,
IMO we can't compare buck against a real team like the Nets, Bucks are just hype because they have Giannis as the back to back MVP of the league, but Nets have the experience, I mean the big 3 has the experience and they can beat any team in the NBA now, so I don't think they get upset in the playoffs. I'm not saying it's impossible though but it's not likely to happen.

The day I had been waiting for has come and i sold my ame tokens after a long wait. I got profit from this token. I know many of the people sell their tokens an get benefit. One thing i must say that AME is good tokens behind this team is working v hard for the project and Project have some potential thats why price not dumps as we expect that After listing price go down to 0.005 but results are totally different .
I'm also lucky to have been HODL AME for a while and sold it last week...
I followed the AME article campaign and got around 11 thousand AME. Initially, when Bithumb Sudha opened an AME deposit I wanted to sell it immediately but I thought the price was still low and I decided to HODL longer and profitably which I did right, the AME price went up and I got a big profit.
Congratulations to you mate, this tells that with patience you can make more and it's not true that there's no money anymore in bounty campaign because you sold your earnings at a good price. AME has a little decline lately, it's currently traded at a price of 0.08 usd, I think it's still a good price but those who still hold until now, I can say they really trust the project.

Now they're saying Blake Griffin is the next suspect to go to the Nets...  Hard to believe how fast Griffin fell from being the franchise player in LA to being bought out in Detroit.
 Granted his athleticism seems to be gone (he's only dunked once this year last time I checked) he is still a decent shooter and a good presence on the floor.  He's a good insurance policy if one of the big 3 for the Nets gets injured, as he would make a decent fill in.  I could also see him adding a lot of punch to their bench.  The Lakers are going to have to make a move soon.  They need to get their hands on Drummond if they want to secure another ring without too much heroics.

https://www.netsdaily.com/2021/3/5/22315692/hello-brooklyn-nets-likely-landing-spot-for-blake-griffin-after-pistons-buyout

This will make Nets more better, Griffin can still play, he got used to playing a good team but when he was traded (IIRC), things have change for him. I beet he has some issue with his current team and even himself, hopefully he will be surrounded with positive people that the very goal is to win and I think Nets does have that kind of goal and people. I'm looking forward for this news.
3186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 05, 2021, 10:42:43 PM
I guess everyone of us here will go the over, it's almost an automatic bet in the all star as we know they really don't put a defense in this game and I'm assuming that this all star game has less crowd or no crowd, so there's less pressure on them as there are less fans cheering unlike the usual scenario.

For the 3 point shooting, Curry is still the favorites with 2.99 odds but I'm surprise Buddy Hield is not in the list.

For MVP, how about Donovan Mitchell @35 (odds)?
3187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on March 27, 2021 on: March 05, 2021, 10:02:07 PM
, until he caught Whyte with that devastating uppercut,


As I said before , Whyte  should bet on his speed and wear out his opponent in  the first six rounds. Povetkin's   legs are weak to keep him well during the all time of fighting. That cannot be said about  his punch which may be devastating at every moment. Whyte has to circle around Povetkin and make disorienting blows.


P.S., took note on March 27


They keep moving the fight because both fighters might not have enough strategies to beat their respective opponents. Now that he has a lot of time to get ready, I think Povetkin has already found a way to close this fight as soon as possible or if he failed he will be the one to kiss the floor. With Whyte's current condition, I think he can go as far as 12th round toe-to-toe with his opponent. This would be a wild fight with a higher chance to end in an early-round depends on what kind of strategies both fighters are practising right now.

Moving the fight is understandable as we are in a pandemic, but let's say that the fight will happen in March 27, I think the underdog here which is Povetkin has a huge chance of winning as he already beat Whyte in their first fight, that's why this rematch is created.

Honestly, I'm not seeing it like a Ruiz vs Joshua scenario, it's just that Povetkin is underrated and some people are still not convince on his win.

This trade is probably the biggest news so far.

They really waited for Slaughter to come back just to trade him, I think Slaughter is not anymore surprise with this as just like what the rumors said, this is the reason why he left the BGSM in the past and now maybe have realized that he has no future outside the Philippines, come back and accept his destiny. It's gonna be the first time I will see Slaughter will be playing with other team, I hope he will become an asset more than when he was still with the Ginebra.

Kelly Williams career is not yet over.

Kelly Williams making PBA comeback after signing two-year TnT deal

Another two years, I hope this season he will stay healthy and if he will get injured, he will not suffer a serious injury.
He has been a big help for the success of the TNT, he's 39 years old but he can still contribute a lot to the team.

His return is just a confirmation that he had a conflict with some of the members of the previous coaching staff or conflict with the head coach himself.

He left the bubble then announced that he already retire from basketball without even notifying the management about his decision  Smiley.

Machine Gun Kelly, even at his age of 39 is a big help to the campaign of TNT, high leaper and can provide good defense at the middle and even intimidate Junmar Fajardo.

Chot Reyes might be one who speaks with Kelly to come out of retirement as the former is his long-time coach.

Yeah, I agree with that, maybe coach chot talk to him as he is comfortable with the coaching style of coach Chot and he is now willing to play again. Under coach Chot he will get good minutes, and even if they have Erram already, I know he can still help to the team.

This is also a comeback of coach Chot in the PBA, so TNT should be an improved team this season.

I put a little bet for the Clippers and Nuggets. Mavs at rest.
It's a good thing Stake.com accepts small bets like this.  Cheesy



Clippers won't be playing at full force.
Kawhi Leonard unsure status. (back spasms)
Marcus Morris (concussion)
But PG13 is pushing to win this game to avoid a third losing streak which will be their first this season.

I'm on the opposite team mate, Wizards just surprised me recently, they have been playing like a good team and in fact in their last 10 games they are 7-3. They might have a bad home record but I believe they will give a fight here, and I like the fact that they are the home underdog, so much value for this team.

Arum: We’ll know this week whether Pacquiao-Crawford can happen

No update until now, so what's the status of this fight?

Will it still push through or just a trying to give the fans some excitement but it would not really happen?

Basing off on this link. https://champinon.info/schedule/pacquiao-vs-crawford/#close
The fight night will begin on Saturday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
There's already a schedule which means this fight is already fixed but I agree that Arum didn't still give a word so those proclamations or announcement
aren't final.


I hope this site is reliable as other than what you shared, I can't find any information online that would validate the event to be fixed and final. Everyone is waiting for this, but until there's no official announcement by the promoter, I'm not sure I will believe any sites that published a schedule of the fight.
3192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: March 03, 2021, 10:10:15 PM
I know it's hard to bet against Canelo right now but Saunders ain't no left over so I want to bet on him in this fight and take that odds.

and the betting odds is also available _ https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/saul-alvarez-v-billy-joe-saunders/winner

Saunders @4
Canelo @1.17

Saunders  is undefeated so just like Callum Smith, this fight could go in 12 rounds, and maybe I should just add some bet on the other side like Canelo winning by decision, that if the odds is 2+.

Yup, the only logical bet here is how Canelo would win this one as he is 99 percent sure of winning.

ATM, no odds for Canelo via Decision and Canelo via KO but for sure bookies will give that kind of market.

Some of us here wants to see Canelo fight GGG but I think it's kinda late for the latter as father time has already caught him and surely he will lose in the trilogy as Canelo is at the peak of his career now while GGG is on the twilight.

We never know until they fight. Canelo has been so impressive but GGG would probably still give him a hard time in the ring, like what he did in the last two fights, at least if they will fight and Canelo still won, people will stop talking inserting GGG once we talk about a Canelo fight.

Can he?

Chris Gavina wants to see 'Big Game' James back to his very best

I think this is too much job for him to accomplish, James cannot go back to his old self since he is aging, he can still contribute somehow but we can't expect a complete old James performance to still be done by him.

I guess Gavina should be more focus on the team than on individual player.
3195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: February 28, 2021, 09:58:09 PM
Probably better than the last fight of Canelo.

Billy Joe Saunders is undefeated as his record stats stated, not so familiar with this fighter but he has in impressive record though I'm not so convince with his KO rate which is only 14 of his 30 fights.

What is happening with the Rockets? I know some of their players had minor health problems, but Wall is looking healthy and active. Nevertheless, the Rockets have won only two times in February, and they have a ten-game losing streak.

It's definitely because of this guy. https://www.nbcsports.com/edge/basketball/nba/player/30279/christian-wood

Christian Wood has been playing like an all star and Rockets had been winning until he got injured and everything changes.
Rockets has become one of the shitty team now, hard to say but we cant deny the reality.

Bear already started and the altcoin start to suffer, the altcoin that i still hold at this time mostly on EOS and i spare some little lucky in CLO(small marketcap coin).
Everything has change when Elon gives hype to the market and more people are buying crypto but the moment he stops being active in his tweet, that also the moment people started to sell off their cryptos. That is what is happening now and I also do think the market will fall if people do the worse and panic.

If the market will continue to behave like this and people don't stop selling their coins at low, we gonna expect a huge dump trend to follow. But hopefully, it never turns like that and we able to recover back shortly after these few declines.

It's happening in sports, that's why we hear the words "rigged" , because sports can be rigged so majority of the bettors will lose. As a gambler, I think we should be aware of that so we would know where to bet, some sports are not too obvious but it's happening inside.

Now that's what you called "teammates". I thought it was really Sabonis been offered for the replacement but I was in awe when I found out what Butler really did, well, just been curious with the news I've seen around Facebook and it was indeed true. Check the link above.

I think that's the fans who voted for him, he doesn't need to feel guilty or what. if he will not play then he will disappoint the fans which is not good. All star is just suppose to be fan, seeing your favorite players in the floor is what matters at all, so Jimmy has to play, Bam will have his time.

I wasn't expecting that the Nets would be defeated by the Mavs in this match.  Undecided

Why? maybe because you didn't look at the line up of the Nets and still expect their win streak will continue?

The nets played without Irving, so it's only Harden who are making the most points, and KP was back so it help a lot the Mavericks to dominate the short handed Nets. The win streak is over, but it's okay, fans would understand why they loss in this game.
