Quote from: Dave1 link=topic=1220979.msg58333339#msg58333339
Are there any timeline for a Kawhi Leonard return though? Maybe they are just stretching this season and hopefully Paul George can carry the load until Kawhi returns to the team. They barely escape OKC last night, just a 5 point lead when the opening line for them is -10.5 if I"m not mistaken. And it's good that George is playing very well, but I have to agree that someone needs to help him out. They have to comeback from the brink of a lost against OKC.

People underrate OKC way too much.

SGA and Giddey are the real deals. I don't think that people appreciate them enough and they are definitely not the worst team in the league by any means.

I think that Clippers will have a rough season without Kawhi for sure. But at the end of the day, this will let Terance Mann, Jason Preston, Brandon Boston etc. grow into their roles when he does return.
No, I appreciate OKC, specially SGA, that kid is something special and could be the franchise player of OKC. It's that they always fell short in the 4th quarter.

Tough expectations for Mann, I remember him exploding during the playoffs. However, he seems can't duplicate that performance as well. He should by now having a break out games since Kawhi is still out. He is needed to perform and help Paul George.

Yes, FAA won against Mager, but the Bautista-Agut vs Duckworth was a disaster prediction of mine. Probably Agut just woke up in the wrong side of the bed because he was forced into a 3 set, lost the first one, barely recover on the second set, and then lost in the 3rd set tie-break.

FAA vs Koepler, possible for a 3 set extension match and could cover the Over in totals.

Finally a good (or I'd say better) opponent for Lomachenko. His fight against Masayoshi Nakatani was quite easy. Commey is not an "easy running" for Loma.

I would not say that Loma is getting left-over from Lopez, he is just chasing him Cheesy Soon Lopez will run out of opponent and they with Loma would be again. Now that will be a real exiting to watch. To watch if Loma could regain his fame and titles, or Lopez prove his words that he could beat him anytime anywhere".
Exactly, he is really chasing Lopez here, and there will be a chance in the future, and it's going to be inevitable that they will have to face each other again for the belt. The only chance that Lopez avoids him is to jump in weight to 140 lbs.

At least we all know who is really afraid of Loma and doesn't want to give him the rematch that he all deserves. Nakatani though is a tough fight, it's that the Loma makes it easy for him to win because he is very technical.

What a disappointing loss for Murray today on Paris,  he had 7 match points and couldn't convert a single one of them to claim the victory, I thought he can win it easily and even the odds favored him against Koepfer with @1.25, it sucks to see such a talented player in this situation, his hip surgery really affected him, playing with metal in your hip is not the same, and being that long away from tennis courts also made it harder to comeback to the same form, it really sucks Sad

Yea I watched the last two sets, I didnt know which way to bet so I didnt on this match.
Murray was broken a few times and was playing defensively for a lot of the match. There
is also some discussion regarding the speed of the courts, they are slow which seems
to result in a lot of longer rally's.

I had 2 bets on today in Paris,
Ivashka v Ramos Vinolas
Norrie v Delbonis

and tomorrow only 1 bet so far, Felix AA to beat Mager.

The race is on for points.


Murray keeps playing tournaments trying to get back somehow but he just cant.He continues to struggle in every single match it dosent matter who he is playing and his matches are really long. I also had a bet on Ivashka to win and had a bet on Norrie to win in straight sets so happy with my wins today
Good win for you both.

Yeah, and as the match goes longer, the more Murray will be put to the disadvantage because of his age and his body. So I would say that the surface of the tournament didn't go on his way here.

Besides the FAA vs Mager, I think another match that can be a giveaway is Agut vs Duckworth. I think Bautista Agut can also win this in 2 sets and cover the totals as well.

It is clear that CoinMarketCap lists crypto's in descending order based on market cap.  But could anyone tell me why after the first 200 listed (at this time #200's market cap is about 239 Million), #201 through about #215 MC's are back in the Billions?  In fact the MC of #201 through about #280 are above the MC of #200.
As others have said this could have been a bug on their system. Maybe they have their own metrics to rank up those coins, hence the big difference in numbers. This has been the complain on CMC even before in 2017-2018. So I'm not sure if CZ has change the algo when they took it over or have adapted their own. Maybe the OP can tweet about it and ask CZ itself to get the right answers, just saying.
3246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 02, 2021, 04:29:06 AM

Shawn Porter's odds are increasing. The bookies think that Shawn Porter is just an easy match for Terence Crawford but the former is also a tough boxer on their weight class. What's actually their basis and factors on that kind of odds. I'm confused.

Or maybe just a trap for the gamblers? It's confusing now to pick who will win with a good money return.

it is really tempting to place bet on Porter here especially we are seeing a lot of upsets this year. the ML odds in some casinos are even reaching up to 6.25x for Porter. so if you are closely following Porter's prep here and you are confident that he has the chance to beat Crawford, you can easily bet on him.
bookies are really favouring Crawford here, seems they are not considering the caliber of Porter as a boxer also. so more than couple of weeks and we will see another good boxing match...

Bookies are more detailed in terms of analysis. It is impossible they do not consider the caliber of Porter. It's just that upon consideration, it is very obvious Crawford has the higher possibility of winning. From the point the odds are released by the bookies, it is now the bettors' money flowing in that will determine whether the odds will continue to favor the favorite or the underdog. In this case, the money is clearly flowing into Crawford's side, that's why Porter's odds are still increasing until now.
That's where the smart money is going to flow, to Crawford side because he has a high chance to win here. Not taking anything from Porter though, yes this is a step up match for Crawford, but I think Crawford has the advantage is all department here, even Porter's aggressiveness can be negate by Crawford's timing as he has the ability to fight going backwards. So if Porter tries to go inside, Crawford will pot shot him every time.

^That Chicago Team is really something else. It's scary if you combine underrated players in one team. Lonzo, DeMar, Zach, and Caruso. Love it.

I watch two disappointing games with the Hornets losing against the Cavaliers and the Knicks also losing against the Raptors. Too much expectation could really ruin your bets, parlay is out I might go back to singles. Well, I guess it's also fun to see unexpected events like this and confuse basketball analysts about their predictions.  Grin
I was surprised to see the score, I thought that the Celtics are going to win this game.

And then I saw that they went on and tearing Boston Celtics with that magical run, ouch, it's gonna hurt.
I do agree that Chicago is a real deal now, there's one lost is also like this, it's a winnable for them if not for DeRozan missed. But they have bounce back to show that they are no joke now. Yes, a lot of upset, well it didn't went our way, but for sure we will go back tomorrow and start a winning streak.
3248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: November 02, 2021, 03:40:49 AM

I would also say Amik Khan reminded me of Caraballo, they are both good technical boxers but they are not durable and the Filipino fighter has a well-deserved win although the win is a bit controversial I think let's just move on since a win is still a win, just let the organization do the job if the judgement was fair and if not then someone has to be penalized according to the rule of the boxing organization.

Better to move on and wait if there's a rematch to happen. Caraballo deserves that rematch and if his fans and more boxing fans will call for this one, we might see the rematch to happen much earlier.

Just a good chin and Sultan takes this one from Caraballo. The strong fighting determination of Sultan dominates and even there are controversial. He manages to take and win this fight.

There are upcoming fights that we will go to watchout, this sports this getting fans' attentions back.

I saw the scorecards and the judges are heavily favoring Caraballo, rounds that do not have knockdown go to Caraballo, and why there is a need for a rematch it's a unanimous decision, the win obviously go to Sultan's favor, there will be a rematch to settle the score if the fight could go either way, what do Caraballo have to prove in a rematch that he trained his chin to receive a punch, a weak chin will always remain a weak chin, give Caraballo a match against another top-caliber fighter and he will still get knockdowns or a knockout.
But the judges makes it very close though, and I think if Sultan got only 3 knockdown, he will still lost in this fight. So I'm also in favor of making this rematch, it could be very dangerous for Sultan, but if he can win by knockout, then the issue will be settled. I just admired Sultan touch chin and everyone was really talking about Caraballo's power. But he underestimate that Sultan is very durable and have a solid chin and him Caraballo can't even hold himself when Sultan hits him and he will instantly go down.

LTC accepted all over the world but it's price still low
same as last 4 years
why it's stuck on same price range?

Still living under the shadow of Bitcoin in my opinion. Plus are there any development from behind?

I check the github repo: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin. There are no update what so ever in the last year or so.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that it is universally accepted, because it is not. Maybe we can used it to deposit and play on our favorite sports casino because it's cheap and quite faster, but that's it. Probably for bagholders, wait for the right time to sell and make some decent profit.

Raducanu is in action now against Kostyuk who has taken the 1st set and
looking like taking the 2nd, its 1 - 5 there now.

Unfortunately she lost,  predictions will be tight turns out not, Raducannu has lost a lot of games.
My multibet in the ATP Vienna quarter-finals lost because I preferred over in the Ruud vs Sinner match, tight in the first set, not happen in the second set, Ruud lost too easily in the second set.
Zverev vs Sinner might be an ideal final but before they have to beat their opponents, Tiafoe is quite impressive here maybe he will surprise again.

I agree, I like Tiafoe chances against Sinner here, and the good thing is that he is the underdog so it's a very good and attractive bet. So I throw some couple of satoshi's for Tiafoe at ML as well and hopefully pull some upset.

Zverev's experience will be to much for Alcaraz to handle. I wouldn't be surprised if he beat Alcaraz in 2 sets and set a final match with Tiafoe.
3251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 30, 2021, 08:27:24 AM
congrats @danherbias07, I thought the Lakers will lose again, good thing they know how to win now, and Lebron is back and made 26 points but there's something wrong with him, he thought he is Steph Curry that's why he tried a lot of 3s which only resulted to 1 made of 10 attempts.

I lose a live bet as I put money on the Cavaliers to win, but it's still fun, better luck next time for me on fading the LA show.

Yeah, I thought that Lakers are going to lose again, specially when the way they played in the first half. After that I didn't watch, until the late minutes when Dwight Howard hits a 3, Lol, and doing the Carmelo Anthony finger. So it was their big 4 to took the scoring, Lebron, Melo Westbrook and Davis. I never bet on this match though, same with you, I will have put money on Cavs and I could have lost my bet. Anyhow, there's a lot of games still for us to recover our losses.

I have to watch that Howard made a 3 point shoot, I was not able to watch the game but I think it was his first 3 point shot in the NBA? I mean he made history for himself, lol. Anyway, the game was almost a giveaway for the Lakers, good thing they fought strong in the 4th quarter and did not allow an upset again. They cover as well as LA is -8.5.

No, it was not Howard's first 3 point shot in the NBA, even in his second stint with the Lakers with Lebron he also hit a 3 and it's with the same team if I'm not mistaken.

I also said that Blazers will have their revenge against the Clippers, so congrats as well for those who bet because they have covered the spread with a lot of room.
3252  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 29, 2021, 10:08:08 PM
^ So far though the price hits $62k again, it faltered a bit to $60k, but the market has recovered in the last 2 days. But I doubt that the price will hit $70k at the end of this month, we are almost there now. But to see the price above $62k at the end of October is still very bullish and it's still along the line of previous years growth. So as far are as hitting $70k, yes it's doable, we've almost hit $67k already so that is very close to the OP's target price this Christmas.
3253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coin craze on: October 29, 2021, 09:42:55 PM
Take profits and keep taking profits, there is nothing wrong investing in good meme coins just for the profits, I've made tons of profits from shiba inu than any other good projects with good utilities combine, get into the hype and get out early, that won't hurt

Right, as long as you know what you are doing and investing money that you can afford to lose then why not? The dangerous thing is that there are newbies who think they can just pour their money on a hype and meme coins and have a good profits in return. But that won't work if you don't know what meme coins you are going to invest.

Shiba right now is making huge profits for investors, specially those bagholders who enter early, but how about for those who enter the top? they might be trap and then lose their money and these newbies blame the crypto market itself.
3254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 29, 2021, 09:26:50 PM
Clippers vs Blazers tomorrow, what do you think about this game.

Game history. Oct 25, 2021, Clippers won W 116 - 86.

They dominated the Blazers and now the Blazers will play at home and will try to avenge their loss against the Clippers.
So what's going to be the bet here, will the Blazers win here and cover the spread of -2.5?

Yes, Clippers did dominated the Blazers that game, however, after that the Clippers lost to the Cavs 92-79, while the Blazers after that lost bounce back and beat Memphis, 116-96.

And since they are now going to play at Blazers home, I think they can cover this spread for a revenge. I'm seeing Dame and CJ again leading the team, could be easy 40-50 points between the two guards.
3255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 29, 2021, 09:56:44 AM
I'm more interested to see the match between FAA and Zverev. It looks like FAA got his second win in defeating Norrie and then Zverev escapes and won against Alex De Minaur after losing the second set.

I think though is Zverev dictates the phase on the first set and won it, he will have a good chance to win. But it won't be an easy task, as I have said, FAA comes alive from one set down and won the last 2 against Norrie who is confident that he will win the game.
3256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 29, 2021, 09:01:23 AM
^^ I don't think that Pacman was avoiding Crawford back then. Business wise is not a good fight to made because that time Crawford is still making his name, and if I'm not mistaken, he is still campaigning at 140 lbs when Pacman is still with Top Rank.

I'm not really sure if every top dog in the Welterweight is avoiding him, maybe because of the boxing politics. Arum is known to have fights in-house so the money will remain intact with his company. Or at least he wants to have control of the fight and the purse unless it is a mandatory fight.
3257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu Sets Record, Faster Than Dogecoin on: October 28, 2021, 06:24:33 PM
I also hope that they are going to cover when Shiba goes down hard or becoming obsolete overtime because there's no real use case of this coin. At least Doge though has been in the market for many years and it's even an alternative for gamblers to used because it is fast.

Not sure if Shiba will be introduce by some crypto sport bookies. In any case, this is simply a hype project and smart investors knows that. That's why they've invested probably, but gets out when there is the first sign that it will be dump hard.
3258  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's new All Time High (ATH) has been reached this year again (X2) on: October 28, 2021, 06:01:21 PM
The bitcoin price is now down to $61k and that's a reasonable drop due to profit-taking. However, I don't think a September-like correction is likely to happen again. So far the crypto market is still in a bullish situation. therefore, a new ATH for altcoins is definitely coming.
Even we are trading above $61k levels right now, earlier today, bitcoin was falling up to $58k levels which made me to have new calculations before we are thinking about getting into a new ATH. I guess for the remaining days of this month and the first week of November month, we may have only sideways market as market is lagging volume which might be due to lack of new investors. When more people are anticipating about bearish trend in January then we cannot expect more new people just 2 months before that.

There's a lot of volatility right now, moving up and down from $58k-$61k range. It means that traders are still undecided. So there's a chance that we will go sideways as you have mentioned or really goes down again to $55k because of that indecision from speculators and traders.

And I guess everyone is really anticipating that 6 digits this December that's why the market is in the middle. But hopefully November will be another big month for us if we wanted to get into that $100k mode at the end of the month.
3259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 28, 2021, 05:15:22 PM
Today only bets on two matches S. Tsitsipas vs F. Tiafoe on under and FAA vs Norrie on over.
At ATP Saint Petersburg M. Cilic vs K. Khachanov, Cilic has lost his touch when he returns to play after a long injury but Khachanov sometimes not consistent with his performance, this match difficult to predict who wins but pick over 20.5 maybe a good choice.

I also have Tsitsipas who is top seed for the win along with Norrie.

Some of the other games look very good especially for the seeded players. I have
bets on the seeded players, I think Swartzman could be the trickiest one though.

Monfils v Swartzman (8.)
Ruud (4) v Sonego
Novak v Sinner (7)
DevMinaur v Zverev (2)

Norrie vs FAA is about to start, I have Norrie at handicap -1.5. Didn't want to bet the totals as this might be tricky. Norrie is playing very hard in here, while FAA is somewhat very inconsistent and seems can't go over the round of 16 as much as he wanted to.

Not yet betting on other games, but I like the chances of Schwartzman against Monfils.

And then Zverev over A de Minaur. So let's see how my first bet goes, if it's a W then I will continue to bet on the other games.

It was a very close match and I thought that it will be easy match for Norrie as he won the first match with the score 6-2.

And then suddenly, FAA flip the switch in the second, as both players hold served. But FAA scored his point very easily sometime he will raised to 40-0 and then score the point. The second set was extended to a tie break in which FAA won.

On the 3rd, he just needed just one break point to sell the victory for him.
3260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 28, 2021, 12:02:50 PM
^^ But we don't know for sure if Crawford will sign for an extension with Top Rank. As far as I can remember their contract will end this month. And maybe this is the last time that we might see Crawford under the Top Rank banner. And maybe he will shift to other promotional company that will give him the fight that he wanted and of course the biggest paycheck every fight until he retires.

You might be right.  And this fight is mandatory, so Crawford or at least Bob Arum can't do anything about it but to honor the mandatory. Maybe Bob Arum still doesn't want to have Crawford fighting a tougher opponent in Porter, but it is what it is.

Regarding his contract, they've been in bad taste lately, as Arum said that Crawford can't sell fight and this somewhat offended Bud. So I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't want to extend his contract with Top Rank.
