Heto ang picks ko,

Lakers vs Spurs, - Babawi ang Lakers dito, -8.5 @1.72
Rockets vs Suns - Suns -1.5 @1.71
Wolves vs Bucks - Over 224.5 @1.86

Goodluck, last time hindi ako naka bet, sayang GSW pa naman ako sa laban na yun tambak ang Lakers sure win na sana.

Nahawa ka na yata ng kamalasan ko kahapon kabayan, hehe.. naging 0-3 yung picks mo today. Ako naman, 2 out of 3, sumablay ako sa Suns, same pala tayo ng pick. As usual, bawi bawi nalang naman yan, kaya bawi tayo bukas. 3 games lang, mas mabuti konte lang iisipin.

Ito naman mga picks ko.

Magic -7.5
Boston -6.5
Wolves -8

Oo nga malas mga taya ko walang panalo hehehe, Suns naman nag collapse. Wolves at Bucks biglang nag low scoring.

Hindi ako nakataya sa mga games eh day-off muna pahiyang sa malas hehehe.

Congrats sana nanalo kayong lahat as per results. Baka bukas na ako tataya at sana makabawi bawi.

Interesting development,



https://twitter.com/RyanGarcia/status/1761166060751929635

Ryan says that his fight should be in Vegas and obviously he is against the fight going into Barclays center. Hmm, I smell something here, does it mean that he is going to pull from the fight because the venue doesn't suit him the best?

But I do agree though, there is no tax in Vegas as far as I know and it's all about the gambling and the money that it can generate because of this said fight.
324  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 23, 2024, 09:12:35 PM
For your friend to be still working and have nothing to show for it, is that not enough lesson for him to learn? What other lesson would he learn, if not to reason and ask himself the question of what ''has he achieved from gambling" and what has he been using his hard job money for, that makes him unable to afford certain things for himself that he is supposed to, as someone who works?

As humans, there are questions someone would ask you, and you will begin to rethink your whole situation of why you haven't been progressing in life.

Your friend shouldn't be like, there is nothing to be done about his situation. He is supposed to feel pained and work towards finding means to save himself from addiction to gambling. Someone can't identify his or her problem and let it slide without fighting to overcome it by all means available to them.

Of course when a gambler does not research a casino first there is often a problem in the end that the gambler does not know he has the problem. That's what often happens to complaining gamblers, then when the casino management investigates it will be discovered that the problem lies with the casino gamblers.

Because they don't know the policy in gambling casinos first and it's important to know that first so that just in case there's a problem, there's something to hold on to.

For online casinos, yeah, definitely we will have to make a research, or even just look for the advise of the community as to what online based crypto platform we are going to used so that we will not be scammed. But for traditional based, I don't think that there will be research needed. I mean majority of them that are competing are already established casinos already.

And as far as our budget and money management, definitely just play the money that you can afford to lose. Prioritized things in your life before getting your hand in gambling and just enjoy and don't be emotional so that you won't fall for the addiction.

Yes, I did mentioned this fight in this thread. I'm also seeing Tank Davis will be the favorite here and beating Frank Martin by knockout.

He was probably advise not to fight Shakur that time and wait for this bigger fight and obviously the paycheck that will come with it. Tank Davis though is taking the time to clean up this division, he is part of the supposedly 4 kings of this division, however 3 of them have gone up already to 140 lbs and 2 of  them have become a champion already. So Tank needs to aggressively fight the best hear and unify the belt and not just protect his record.

327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - February 24 on: February 23, 2024, 11:44:26 AM
Fight fans, here are the official weigh-in video for this fight,

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

Although it seems that Ancajas has a problem making weight as he needs to strip naked.

I don't know what to take though base on their body language, Inoue looks weight drain by sharp but Ancajas has still some body fats but still make the weight.

Santiago vs Nakatani though might be a good fight as well to watch here.

I think that's good enough for Ancajas, before when he is in a weigh-in, you can clearly see his jaw, meaning he doesn't have enough water in his body or that he really drained himself just to make that weight.

Same could be said here, but at least he was able to make the weight and his body is not that drained as compared to Inoue. And then have a full day to rehydrate everything. I still will put my money on Jerwin Ancajas here and I'm going to take a risk with no less than a knockout victory. Odds is 6.0 for that and fight not going to distance at 4.x.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 23, 2024, 11:27:38 AM
On the 135 lbs division, news says that Tank Davis next opponent will be Frank Martin.

Remember though that Martin supposedly agree verbally in terms to fight Shakur Stevenson last year. But Martin back out in the last minute and Shakur fought with a lackluster performance against Edwin Delos Santos.

So let's see if this will be official in the next couple of days. The fight will be for the WBA lightweight title.

Medyo salungat lang ito sa policy ni coins.ph na naging main reason kung bakit naban at restricted ang account ng karamihan ng users nila. Dahil yung funds ay nagmula sa gambling website, pero ngayon isa na sila sa naglagay ng gambling casino sa wallet nila. Ano yun sa ibang website bawal or magiging restricted, pero pag promoted nila, okay lang?
As per their current User Agreement: (di ko alam kung ito na rin yung nakasaad dyan nung di pa nila pinopromote ang Bingo Plus)

Illegal or Prohibited Gambling: The conduct of online gambling, lotteries, casinos and informal gambling, gaming operations, sports betting, and other games of chance and forms of speculation not authorized or licensed by a government agency duly empowered by law to license or authorize the conduct of such activities;

Partake in any transaction involving online gambling except where permitted by Betur Inc., Coins Pro, Coins.ph.

At dahil regulated at may license galing sa PAGCOR kaya allowed ito sa kanila at pinopromote na rin nila.


Ganun na nga. Basta registered ay okay lang sa kanila gaya nitong Bingoplus at iba pang games na nasa app nila ngayon. Marami ang restricted account sa coinsph dahil galing daw yung iba sa gambling or yung iba naman ay naglabas lang ng malaking halaga sa account nila kahit hindi galing gambling ay restricted agad.

It boils down to business ika nga, siguro epekto rin talaga na proliferated na ang gambling sa pinas. Isa ako sa mga unang nag reklamo tungkol dyan sa coins.ph nung ma ban, at un-ban at na ban at account ko sa kanila.

At dahil wala nang monopoly ang coins.ph ngayon, wala na silang nagawa dahil baka malaos sila kaya ayun pinatulan na rin nila ang gambling.

Wala na tayong magagawa dun sa mga account natin na luma sa kanila na ni restricted or even na ban dahil sa gambling. Ang mahalaga sa kanila ngayon ay kumita hehehe.

Any responsible adult should know the difference between what they can and can’t afford to lose when gambling. It isn’t difficult to set a budget, I understand some people can go too far but you have to have conviction in managing your own gambling risk.

Most reputable casinos and sportsbooks promote responsible gambling but really, you have to take control yourself. You can not blame anybody else for your gambling failures

Yes, that is true, casino's promoted "responsible gambling", but it is still up to us as a adult on how to control our gambling activity. Well you can set aside money and says that you can play and afford to lose that one.

But still there could be moments that you become out of control. One of the things that I learn throughout my gambling is that it's based on emotions. So if you can't control this emotions, then even with a budget, you can still go overboard and lose everything.

Pwede siguro mga palaro, meron naman tayo dito dati, marami ring sumasali kahit hindi gambling site sponsored, pwede yun ulitin kung mag sponsor sila. Pero dapat meron din sa games and rounds board.

Naabutan ko dn dati na sobrang active ng mga giveaways dito galing sa mga OG users. Marami na dn kasi umalis sa forum pagkatapos ng bounty season nung 2017 kaya medyo tumumal na ang activity dito sa group. Halos nasa mga social media group na tumatambay yung mga whale crypto holders natin compared dito sa forum.

Pero sobrang dami talagang crypto gamblers sa bansa natin ngayon na nasa social media dahil mas gusto nila mag content para sa bayad at less chitchat dito sa forum.

Anyway hindi pa nag oonline ang Bk8 account para makita ang suggestion natin. Sana ay makuha natin attention nila para ganahan naman mga sugarol dito sa local board natin.

Malamang nakita na nila to pero siguro antay antay lang muna tayo.

At tama ang dami nang gambling influencer sa bansa natin at sana na makita nila ang BK8 at malay natin gamitin din nila so malaking exposure na to.
332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 22, 2024, 11:37:25 AM
Two more days until the return of NBA basketball. I think I’m going through withdrawals. There haven’t been many moves as far as signing players either. Hopefully the players return refreshed and healthy to make a run into the postseason. I expected the Warriors to make some signings or something. Weird there aren’t more free agents finding homes.

Looks like most of the teams in the NBA don't need any additions to their rosters and they just gonna fix their rotations instead of adding more players to disrupt their chemistry, especially those star players. So far, the teams that we expect to reach the playoff tree are doing good and they also dominate the league this season like the Boston Celtics, I wonder if they could keep that up and make some more wins until the end of the season games. Also, they are expected to reach the NBA finals this year since the Bucks are likely to be choked because they chose an incompetent coach instead of adding more role players to help them win more games.

In the case of Bucks, yeah, Giannis will be tested here specially in the playoffs, it's obvious that they are not the same team anymore. I mean they have added Dame, and it's good, but the chemistry is still in question right now. There are games that they look solid and championship team, but most of the time, they were defeated by a low caliber team.

And then they changes coaches in the middle of the season, and this could really help them in a bad way if they don't know how to keep on winning under coach Rivers. And assuming they reach the playoff, we all know that coach Rivers have history of choking.

Rivers has been getting hit pretty hard in the media this week. Especially after the JJ Redick comments. Add that to Dame leaving Giannis off his starting 5 if he could pick anyone and you have a recipe for some trouble brewing behind the scenes in Milwaukee. They have the talent to go all the way, but the chemistry needs work.

Yes, and I think we should expect it because of their poor showing under him. Just like when media criticize Harden as well when he joined the Clippers, everyone is on the offensive but now it's very different as they started to win games.

So let's see how Doc Rivers will respond in the second half of the season. Perhaps if he can rise to the occasion all his critics will be quiet including JJ Redick's attack on him. Although again, he has history of choking but hopefully Giannis or Bucks will not be the next player to suffer the fate like the Sixers or Clippers before under Rivers.

On the other hand, as per Michael Benson,

Michael Benson
@MichaelBensonn
‼️ Al Haymon's PBC are reportedly ready to pay Canelo Alvarez his guaranteed purse said to be "around $35million" for a fight vs Jaime Munguia on May 4th, but not if he insists on Jermall Charlo. It's claimed PBC believe fight vs Munguia would sell better. [According to ESPNmx]

So Canelo is being offered a big $35 million to fight Jaime Munguia of Golden Boy. And that is big money, that is only guaranteed without the PPV and live gates sales. And again, Michael Benson is a reliable source and if by chance Canelo didn't pick Munguia and instead pick Charlo, then we all know that he is taking less risk in his career now.

I don't gamble half asleep, I would rather take a break or nap first. Sometimes I gamble in the morning though, whether online or offline. But I haven't taken drugs in my life and for sure it will be a bad combo, of gambling, specially high stakes when you are under a influence of drugs.

And we all know that drugs alone has a negative impact on anyone, so your friend is just making it worst. It's good that he tell you about it, and you give him good advise. And it's a question whether he will follow.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Beterbiev vs. Bivol - Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship on: February 21, 2024, 09:03:49 PM
I have little knowledge about dopings but Beterbiev was given the go signal which means he passed the VADA test. And I believe VADA is the strictest when it comes to doping tests.

Maybe they saw something not normal in Beterbiev's body but still not illegal. What I heard from the past though is that the Russians have the best laboratories and technology when it comes to hiding doping substances. Same reason why Russia was blocked during the last Olympics.

Anyways, hopefully, both fighters are clean and the fight must go on. It's just a shame Beterbiev only has the chance for the undisputed at this stage of his career. He won against Usyk in the amateurs and gave him hell during their 3 encounters which saw the Ukrainian legend struggle, knocked down, and hurt even with helmets on.

This is just a big question mark for Beterbiev at this point, again, I'm no expert, but maybe those found in him are not PED, but most likely some testosterone replacement. Anyhow, it VADA clears him, then it's good. But in this fight there could also be drug testing, so we will see if they will find the same result or he is clean with no atypical findings.

The odds is still the same for now, Bivol is the slight favorite, only ML is available yet, but for sure we will more options specially the KO odds for Beterbiev.

336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Taylor vs Catterall - April 27 on: February 21, 2024, 08:26:49 PM
And so Eddie Hearn is comparing the grudge match on Froch vs Groves,

Quote
In November 2013 Carl Froch and George Groves met in Manchester for Froch’s unified super middleweight title. After a fractious build-up and nine rounds of savagery, the referee Howard Foster’s decision to step in and halt the fight in Froch’s favour took their rivalry to a new level.

Froch and Groves capitalised on the controversy of their first fight and rode the momentum to a sold-out Wembley Stadium six months later. Froch concluded that rivalry with an eighth-round stoppage in a fight that captured the public’s imagination.

https://www.boxingscene.com/taylor-catterall-hearn-echoes-froch-groves--181597

But I think this is different though, there was no knockout or knockdown in the fight and it was just Jack Catterall is a bad match-up for Josh Taylor that time and we might say he could have underestimate Jack that time.

I would also agree that this is a big fight for either, Catterall to get up in the rankings for 140 lbs and even become a mandatory, and then for Josh, he needed this big win, to at least have a future fight in 140-147 lbs as a lost would obviously will obviously take a big toll on him mentally.

Ngayon meron akong problema na pinagtatakhan ko lang ay bakit hindi ko maiad yung isang Address account ko sa electrum sa new desktop ko na bago kung saan ay nagdownload ako ng electrum dito sa llatest version nya din gayong tama naman yung seed phrase na nilagay ko at lumalabas sa electrum ay hindi nagiging clear yung next, sa halip dapat magclear na siya o maging visible?  Pero nung sinubukan kung iopen ito sa lumang desktop pc ko sa cpu nito para idouble check yung seed nya ay tama naman sa nakasave sa akin.
Since na double check mo na yung seed phrase mo, then most likely yung version na ginagamit mo sa kabila is masyadong luma o kaya hindi galing sa Electrum yung seed phrase na ginagamit mo doon... Subukan mong pindutin yung Option button sa enter seed stage, tapos icheck mo yung BIP39 seed [feeling ko ito ang solusyon sa problema mo].

Siguro palitan ko nalang kesa mag-isip pa ako. Sadyang nagtaka lang talaga ako.
Yes, mas maganda kung newly generated yung seed phrase mo [kahit may laman pa yung luma mong wallet, ilipat mo nalang habang mababa pa ang mga transaction fees].

Heto rin ang iniisip ko na baka luma ang Electrum nya na yung time na hindi pa nila suported ang Bip39. Pero napakaluma naman talaga ng version ni OP, hehehe. Kung sabagay sabi nga nya eh gapang ang mga applications at sa sobrang bagal eh binalibag na nya.

Ganito na lang din talaga gawin mo OP.

From lumang Electrum send mo yung BTC mo sa bagong version ng Electrum mo para less hassle sayo na iisipin pa kung anong problema nyan.

339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo vs Jermall Charlo 4th May 2024 in Las Vegas on: February 20, 2024, 09:36:26 PM
As expected Canelo preferred Jermall over Benavidez I don't think Jermall can do better than his brother although he is a better version Canelo is just too powerful and too skillful for the Charlo brothers, although Jermall cannot be considered a cherry-picked fight for me since he is also a champion, it's just Benavidez is a more challenging fight than Jermall, he can bring more to the boxing community.
The boxing experts were right when they said Benavidez is not on Canelo's radar, although Benavidez has earned his right to fight Canelo, when you are on top you have the luxury to fight who you want to fight, this is to protect your status, and this is not right.

Yes, Canelo said that he will not fight another Mexican so there goes our wish to see him and Benavidez in the ring. Also take note that Jermall Charlo is a career middleweight fighter so he has to go up to super middleweight.

He had a big gap in activity because of mental issues on his side, fought Jose Benavidez Jr, as his comeback fight but there's nothing convincing when he beat Jose.

So Canelo is going for less riskier fight for this year, after this he still has one fight left in his contract with PBC. So there will be another guessing game for us.

Even with a rich guy gambling, still has this regret he just made, so how much more for an average guy to take the risk of spending his hard earned money just to gamble?

Have you experienced this kind of situation wherein you spend huge amount of money and then regret after the loss? Is your reaction the same with that guy on the video?

That's 250k in the guy's local currency, it is huge it's a one-year earning of a minimum wage earner in that country and he lost that amount in just 2 minutes that's frustrating and by smashing the keyboard we can assume that he is frustrated and he cannot take his losses, I don't know the guy but when you're betting a huge amount of money you have to realize the two scenarios that could happen, he only think of winning so his reaction is something surprising and anger him.
The guy has 8 million followers if I am one of his followers I would unfollow him because he is a bad example of a guy who wastes money easily.

Yep, 250M PHP and that is huge money for us here, quarter of a million PHP. And his reaction is just like the rest of us when we lose big money in gambling. But I think him playing with this huge money, he can recover it right away as he has a lot of followers and viewership.

Anyhow, we already know that it's a risk, we don't know the outcome of the game and obviously in his case, he made a bad decision. Could he regret it? maybe. However, if he can make back that money in just a week then he will be back to gambling again for sure.
