3281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 10, 2021, 01:51:37 PM
Nevertheless, as I can say, he must think it wisely or prefer to stay on his boxing career, he has a lot of money.

Good advice, stay in boxing and continue to make history. There are articles saying that Manny is the greatest boxer of all time, so if he keeps building that, he might really be recognized as the GOAT in boxing. Beating Spence is another step to his success because he will surely get more fights, bigger than the current, and people will admire him most.

He should not think just because he is a GOAT in boxing, he will automatically do good in politics, that doesn't work that way.

Before it's not a waste of time, but now I guess it's already a waste of time even if some gambling sites will add faucets on their site. We can earn in other ways, like working online or even a bounty campaign, and bring that earning to a gambling site, honestly, IMO, that faucets are not attractive anymore.

I'm still following this thread though, maybe we can find some gambling sites hat offers great reward for playing, but I highly doubt we will see one.

Yes when Dogecoin peaked somewhere around $0.60 or $0.70 there were a couple of websites that charged like 20 DOGE. That's almost $15. The promise doesn't hold true that Dogecoin is a coin to cheaply transact with. I know the websites are to blame, but still I think the transaction fees for normal transactions also increased substantially.


I guess gambling sites now have to start adding TRC20 to their platform, that if they want to compete with other sites who have already added, there are only a few but those few gambling sites are sure benefiting from gamblers who would try to avoid the high transaction fees.

Quote
TRC20 is indeed the best alternative. TRX is good to use and XRP is also fine in most cases.
As long as you are coming from an exchange that charges reasonable withdrawal fees, everything should be fine.

The problem is not only about the currencies they allow to be deposited, but the fees they charge to withdraw again. That's where it is up to them. A 20 DOGE fee is not necessary to cover network transaction fees. Yet they charge that amount anyway. It's disturbing, but a couple of gambling sites have at least one crypto where they charge a reasonable withdrawal fee. Though you are always confronted with the hassle to first exchange other cryptos for that crypto...

If we are too concern with fees, I guess we should just focus on using XRP in gambling, most of the gambling sites and exchanges I used to charge less than 1 XRP, and that is very cheap already given the current price of XRP. However, if volatility is your problem, then you might think of using it as we know anything could happen, we will either see a pump or dump, but we don't like seeing it dump for sure.

Love the analysis.
It was really Middleton who was not answering for every attack the Suns will make.
I don't think he lacks confidence but he just lost it. 5/16 shooting and 1/6 from the outside will make you doubt yourself.
But, that is not how a superstar does things. Steph Curry did shoot 0/10 before from the first half and will not even care and still end it with 15/30.
That's how stars are being trusted by their teammates and they won't care how bad your start is as long as you finish it strong.  

Middleton is like a machine, when he starts to heat up, he will be unstoppable, and what I noticed is that he has a high percentage of shooting when playing at home, maybe the court familiarity helps and the fans as well. I expect him to bounce back in game 3, put on a show especially his 3 point shooting.
3285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: July 09, 2021, 09:53:30 PM
Indeed. It is difficult if we become ambitious to win, especially if we do not see our chance of winning because that will make us unable to see enough. Gambling is part of entertainment so we should use gambling like that and not use gambling as a source of income. By doing that, that is a small part of being responsible for ourselves in gambling.
If we don't see ourselves have the chance to win, we're only throwing money on it. We have to make sure that it's going to be valuable with every bets that we put.

There are YOLO bettors and that makes sense that even if they see no chance of winning, they still put bet. But a responsible gambler, he sees more of the advantage than YOLOing.
It's better to be a yolo bettor,than putting your mind on the bet you play.If you bet expecting win,then you are bound to have depression,because you and I know that gambling is not good.So the essence of being a responsible gambler depends on the mind of the individual betting the game.A responsible gambler will use the extra cash he has,to try luck,not by gambling with much money,and resting your mind on the game you are playing.

Every gambler has a different strategy and different ways of handling himself in gambling, but for me, the strategy of YOLO is not good as it would result in extreme happiness or sadness, but most of the time sadness as you'll loss with less control in gambling. If you are a gambler that believes you can win in the long run, then thinking of strategies on how to win is normal, and as long as you stay healthy and live your life normally, I don't see a problem with that.

2-0.. mali ang speculation ko.. walang mafiang nagaganap, panalo ang Suns dahil mas magaling sila sa game 2.

Nagulat talaga ako sa performance ni Giannis, pero sayang lang dahil maganda rin sinukli ng Suns.
Kung titingnan natin ang contributions, masasabi natang maganda ang laro ng Suns.

Bucks .

Antetokounmpo   42 points.
Middleton  11 points
Holiday 17 points.

Suns

Booker 31 points
Bridges 27 points
Paul 23 points.

Hahaha walang mafia ung mga nag isip ng mafia ang namafia ata kabayan hahaha  Grin Roll Eyes pero totoo din yung sinabi mo, maganda din talaga nila ng Suns, biruin mo humataw na si Giannis na talagang pinilit na buhatin yung laro kaya lang kapos lang din talaga sa tulong galing sa mga starters,

Dapat ata nilang combine si Lopez at Giannis sa ilalim gaya nung ginawa nila laban sa Hawks, ung mga inside Pass kay Lopez sana mahanap nila ng mas mabilis ung mismatch at wag lang umasa sa magandang ilalaro nila Middleton at Holiday.

Si lopez nalang talaga ang kulang dito, kaya naman ni Lopez na umiscore ng 30 points pero ang average niya so far ay napakababa. Anyways, home court pa naman ng Suns kaya ayos lang yun, bawi nalang siguro ang Bucks sa home court nila at dapat ipanalo nila ang susunod na dalawang game.
3287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 09, 2021, 09:00:39 PM

Donaire's jab is also good in my opinion, the problem is that Inoue is so much faster than him, that's why he was beaten to it. And if he wanted to counter, he need to have a perfect timing, and usually that's what happen in the first fight. But as you have said, as the fight gets longer, Donaire's chances are getting thinner. He needs to get up and shoot for his left hook early so that Inoue will be on the defensive and can't get this jab easily.
Donaire needs to think of better ways unlike their first match where he throw lots of punch and even he convert some Inoue just take it and not being alarmed, the only way he can beat Inoue is for him to take a lucky combo with strength on it and not just a let go punch.

We can't say the chance but since Inoue still the favorite here, Donaire really needs to work more to find the right strategy.

Rematch might have  different outcome but  hopefully it's more entertaining than the last fight.
Good counter with precise timing will be the key and its true that Donaire had thrown lots of punches but only a few do really land out successfully which is really waste of stamina.

If you do try to look at on Inoue where punches do have higher percentage of landed hits plus the power or impact then its no doubt that it could really knocked down opponents.

I dont have any problems with Donaire in terms of experience but he should really need to speed up a bit or enhance his footwork and would focus a bit more on counter punching
which is he is known for.



Donaire showed who really is based on his style, and since he is not really an undefeated fighter, we can't expect that he will win against every opponent, Inoue is just great,  he has not experienced a loss up to now and he is a disciplined boxer who has a great coach in his corner, it's hard to beat this man and Donaire cannot beat him in the rematch.
Quote
"The Flash" shouldnt really be just for show.

Really not for a show as any of his fight is an exciting fight as long as his opponent is ready to engage.

Have you heard about the new rules of PBA about those expires contract players who will choose to play outside the country? or outside PBA? not sure yet but the punishments will take 5 years of waiting and fees to comeback and play with the league. I don't have the source though just seen it from some post inside FB.

If that is true then there's nothing we can do, but that is not good for the reputation of the league, why punished a  player for playing overseas when the purpose is just to get more compensation and have better competition? I think they should be proud of it instead if they really want to see our players develop their skills and achieve their dreams.
3289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: July 09, 2021, 03:33:18 PM
Since Elon Musk manipulated the price of Dogecoin, I no longer use Dogecoin as an option to gamble. Since Dogecoin transaction fees are not
cheap anymore, I agree USDT (TRC20) is much cheaper.
It's not reasonable anymore, whether it's manipulated or not but the current price would result to a high transaction fee as most of us are transacting from an exchanges to gambling sites and vice versa.

But the problem is that not many gambling sites already support USDT (TRC20),
so I usually look for other alternatives. Maybe TRX or XRP would be another option to gamble with, but I'm used to using BTC to gamble.
So I use altcoins only to make withdrawals.
XRP is a great alternative as regardless of its price, the fee is still very affordable, but about TRC20, don't worry, eventually more gambling sites will add this.
3290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market is recovering, what steps are you taking? on: July 09, 2021, 03:11:37 PM
Sadly at this momment i don't have any money to spend in crypto, my saving already i spend into eth in last month. Maybe i'm gonna buy more when i got my salary in the end of this month, right now my strategy in crypto is just buy more and more.
be wise with your investment, always use free money. if you use your salary  better to use it for daily need and saving for urgent condition in future. when all of this filled you can use the rest for buying cryptocurrency so when its price drop will not panick to sell. ethereum was good coin in market , but we must wise using our money due market volatility.
I don't get it, what do you mean by free money? is there a way to get free money in crypto so everyone can invest?

If you are talking about bounty money or salary for online jobs, then you don't call that free money as you work to earn it, it should be as valuable as the money you earn from your day job or your business.
3291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 08, 2021, 08:58:09 PM


for this Donaire VS Inoue rematch, I will bet for Nonito Donaire to win I have seen the change of pace on Donaire's style and that fight with Nordine Oubaali had proved despite his age had changed a lot that he surely has what it takes to win against Naoya Inoue, and to show support for my fellow Filipino.

We cannot compare Oubaali to Inoue, Inoue is faster stronger than Oubaali, honestly, Donaire's chances are slim but we never know Inoue may look invincible but Donaire's team will look for flaws and exploit it, let's see how it goes if Donaire wins here, expect a third rematch here.

We can not compare Inoue with Oubaali because they are surely two different fighters with two different styles, and Naoya Inoue is surely a world-class fighter his body shots is really powerful and devastating when it hits, it can surely stun his opponent, Speed, and Power that is Naoya Inoue, however, I think Nonito Donaire surely experience this sensation and the fight with Inoue has realized what he's going to do If you look at their first fight you can see that Donaire hang on and even withstands Naoya Inoue's punches and I think Naoya Inoue also had a hard time-fighting Donaire that is what I think and sometimes to beat your opponent you got to experience him first before getting a conclusion on what to do, I think Donaire will have his revenge.

We all saw the first fight and its clear domination by Inoue, however, that domination can be said that he is still fighting the hardest fight of his career as a boxer as he was injured in that fight. Donaire is also a champion, Inoue cannot underestimate Donaire, so if they are into the rematch, Inoue should train harder.

What I observed about Inoue is that he is fast but he lacks head movement, that's why he got hit in the face with some good counter by Donaire, however, Inoue is also strong, he always come back and hit donaire with some pair of heavy shots as well.
3292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 08, 2021, 08:41:53 PM
I heard about Robert Bollick rumor but not on Greg. I think it's not good to have Greg in the SMB lineup as they still have JMF, both are high paid players and I believe that would already be over the salary cap if they are still implementing it, also, it does not give a good image to the PBA as they are making one team a super team while majority of the teams are bad teams.

Just minutes after I posted that SMB is very interested in Slaughter and Bolick, below rumors (as they are not official) pop up on my social media news feed. I'm an SMB fan but seeing these two gentle giants playing in one team seems to be a joke for me as we all know that "height is might" in the PBA. Even if you are not that talented but you are a 7-footer, you've got a place in the PBA.



With these two giants within the roster, SMB will be an automatic champion as it's not necessary that they'll play together, they can enjoy a good rest and perform their very best. Both players can average a double-double as the play will be focused on them, and with some explosive back court, I have no doubt this team will dominate.

Hopefully the PBA will get an approval this month.
3293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: July 08, 2021, 01:53:36 PM
That will become a popular pump and dump coin. I see that some developers have already made their coins named after Elon.

They know the hype is for real when this guy is involve with their projects but they're also aware that such projects won't remain for long. It's just because of his name is very popular.

The advantage is there for the unusual type of investors.

I agreed on your statement Sir, there are a lot of dev. recently who made their own coins where it was under the name of Elon Musk because
they knew the name of ELON MUSK has a big impact in the social media where for them it will gonna be an easy way for them to get profit during the time where Elon was to noisy in the crypto space and the social media.

Various reasons put forward by many people against Elon Musk, of course there are many sides that need to be assessed by an Elon Musk. I think if he created and launched his own altcoin it would be very successful. besides he has a large capital and also has many followers. therefore I am sure he will succeed

If he launches it before, then I would think it has a huge chance of being successful, but now, he started shilling and end so badly because he made DOGECOIN from shitcoin to be a golden coin for newbies, and because of shilling it, it has become overvalued now, and one day this will not hold on and it will dump.

IMO, the reputation of Elon in crypto was already destroyed, and it was him who did it, it's becauseof his greediness.
3294  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: July 08, 2021, 01:27:31 PM
Ano sa tingin ninyo ang maganda? with Giannis or without Giannis?

AKo nalang sasagot, mukhang hindi maganda na naglaro si Giannis kahit mukhang okay naman siya dahil natalo ang Bucks, at masama pa nito, hindi naging close game ang laban, iniwan talaga ng Suns ang bucks sa 2nd half.

Siguro bawi nalang next game, or game 3 dahil home court nila.

At least nalaman natin na fully healthy na talaga ang Bucks, both teams are healthy, kaya no excuses na yan.

Sinong BUCKS dito? taas ang kamay.

Akala ko nga ma cocontrol nila ang laro dahil matatangkad talaga mga players ng Bucks, pero na out-rebound parin sila kay Ayton. Akala ko nga rin na kaya ni Lopez si Ayton.
Anyway, game 1 pa lang naman yun marami pang pwede bagunin sa systema ng Bucks at e improve. Talagang maganda lang ang larong e pinakita ng Suns at ang malaking factor sa panalo nila ay halos na e shot nila lahat ng free throws at isa lang ang mintis.

Makikita natin sa game 2 kung talagang kakayanin ng Bucks ang Suns or hindi.

Hindi naman na outrebounded ng suns ang Bucks, lamang pa rin ang bucks as overall rebounds (offensive+ defensive)

Si Ayton lang talaga kumukuha ng rebound kaya mataas ang rebound niya.

Suns total rebounds 43
Bucks total rebounds 47

3295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: July 07, 2021, 01:57:06 PM
I think if you often guess the price movement of bitcoin on several sites and use money for betting then it is certain that it includes gambling and the risk you do is very big because the predicted bitcoin price is not always correct, it is better to predict the price without spend money but can pay off when your guess is right.
Actually, we already did that in trading but we do not realize it. When we analyze the market and do not know where the price will go, we only give a random price that bitcoin will reach, which is gambling. But we did not think that is gambling because we will say that is my prediction for the bitcoin price.

It will be a gambler's choice whether they want to use bitcoin or altcoin. If they use bitcoin to gamble, they will still use it whenever the bitcoin price is high.

Well, we should not be surprised by that as we are gambling with bitcoin, we have to get used to its high volatility. We don't need to become a good trader in order to understand it, it's very much basic, you make some, you lose some, that's like gambling also, you win or lose. For sure if we ask gamblers, they would not say they have a problem with volatility, their problem is the high fees when the market is congested.
When the market is congested, that will be a pain for us because we will think twice to use bitcoin to gamble. But fortunately, we have altcoin that can accommodate our needs to play gambling and keep our bitcoin for other things.

A gambler will still play gambling, and if they really like bitcoin, they will use bitcoin. Otherwise, they will take a break for a while and waiting until the fee can reduce a lot.

Altcoins can be a great option, we can use TRC20 USDT and pay only 1 USD per transaction, gambling sites just need to add it to their payment method so gamblers will have a lot of options. As a gambler, we always look for cheap fees and fast transactions and the only answer is the altcoins, actually, it's easy, let's just educate ourselves and we can gamble without a problem regardless of the market situation.
3296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 07, 2021, 01:29:23 PM

it does not give a good image to the PBA as they are making one team a super team while majority of the teams are bad teams.
This is nothing new with PBA. We've seen super teams that are being allowed by the league and I think if there are other teams that would do it, they would be glad to allow it. We're just seeing the same teams again and again to have such good talents.

But it's not good for the future of the PBA, this league will be boring and if we compare it in the past, the current PBA league is not as good in the past as we have a lot of loyal fans, and we see that by the number of fans in the arena. This time is different, it looks like there's a manipulation inside and it's always been the biggest team who wins the title.
3297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 07, 2021, 12:51:43 PM
~snip~
3. The Bucks let Giannis play instead of just sitting there and recover from his injury.


I agree with the first 2 but disagree with the number 3.

Giannis is good to go so he was able to play, did we see him struggling on the floor? No, because a guy with a Knee problem would not make 17 rebounds and 2 of those are offensive rebounds, let's just accept the fact that the Suns played well in game 1, but we will not always see the same scenario because adjustments will be done next game.
3298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 06, 2021, 01:22:18 PM
What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?

One thing that will go on CP3's favor is that he is playing very well in this playoff. So I doubt that he can be stop right now, and I would say that he is un-guardable, not even Jrue Holiday can stop it. Then they have the homecourt advantage that's why they are clearly the favorite to win game one. I'm expecting him to at least score 20-10 in game 1.

Cp3 might get 20 but it's not going to be easy against jrue.  Jrue is one of the top defensive guards and is going to take it to cp.  
Looking forward to that as I like the aggressiveness of Jrue Holiday and his offense is well selected also.

If I had to bet I'd bet he doesn't get 20, one thing Paul doesn't do is take bad contested shots which is what he will be forced into in this series.  Look for him to set up book all game here using himself as a decoy

That's the odds, for now, CP3 total points inc. OT 20.5 over/under. Then I guess I'll follow you with that one and I'll take CP3 under.
If bucks would want someone to be limited, it should be CP3.

Can't wait to see how those trades will work from those different teams who acquired new players and stars to their squads!

Just to mention a few notable signs that happened this off-season; actor and rookie, Andre Paras to Blackwater, Calvin Abueva to Magnolia, Christian Standhardinger to Ginebra, Gregg Slaughter to Northport, CJ Perez to SMB, etc.

It's been a long period of just resting and few practices that these players do so time now for the real action.

We can now see the answer of "who wins the trades"

They are not done with the trade just yet as I've read some rumors in social media that SMB is very interested in acquiring Greg Slaughter and Robert Bolick in exchange for the aging duo of Chris Ross and Alex Cabagnot lol. If SMB will be successful in convincing the commissioner's office of this trade scenario then time to castigate Comm. Marcial for the lopsided trade and not allowing Ravena to go to Japan  Grin.

I heard about Robert Bollick rumor but not on Greg. I think it's not good to have Greg in the SMB lineup as they still have JMF, both are high paid players and I believe that would already be over the salary cap if they are still implementing it, also, it does not give a good image to the PBA as they are making one team a super team while majority of the teams are bad teams.
3300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 06, 2021, 12:33:00 PM
I'll be betting for the Bucks because of the attractive odds at the moment @3.01 plus the fact that even if Giannis is out, Middleton and the rest are very capable in beating the Suns in game1, the game where both teams are in the feeling-out/adjusting.

It's even more attractive now because the spread has become higher for the Bucks +6.5.
Giannis is doubtful to play in game 1. But It would be better for him sit in the first game to allow himself heal enough to be able to play at full capacity in this Finals series.

6.5 spread is really attractive to bet for the Bucks. I have a feeling that Lopez can contain Ayton down the paint, while Tucker will lockdown Booker on a physical defense. The physicality that Booker got against Beverly might be doubled as Tucker is tougher and bigger than Pat Bev lol.
And finally, If Middleton shoots a high fg percentage, the Bucks won't be struggling in game 1.

So, the key players for the Bucks in game 1 to win is Middleton, Tucker, and Lopez.


How about Jrue Holiday? he is a big part of the success of the Bucks, so you can't count him out, he can also defend Chris Paul and produce points. Now the bucks are already in rhtym, they can always give problems to their opponent and as people are backing the Suns in game 1, we might see a big upset here.
