I'll go for the KO per round as it's more interesting for me.

Can you share some crypto-betting sites that offer other betting options for this match?

I want to see other betting options since checking a couple of my preferred sites, the only option is the winner of the match.

@harizen. However, the investment is not 100% certain to be profitable for you. Everyone might call something an investment but you are also taking some risk and therefore it is a gamble. Similar to opening a new business. You take the risk and loan some money from a bank against your collateral to start the business. This is a gamble and not very different from leveraged trading.

It's too obvious that any investment is risky. It's a no-brainer if someone will think that there's no risk in investment. Because of that, why increase the risks of investment by considering it as gambling? You invest because you are expecting something good that's why on the way you will do everything not to make this investment as pure gambling.

Let's take the example you have given. You open up a new business. Why choose an investment that you think it's not profitable? Gambling is not the appropriate word for that because you will manage your investment in the process. If all things are gambling, why should we put effort and time to make our investment profitable?

The same in NFT games. Why choose NFT games that don't have criteria to give you a good return in the future.

The last time I know, PBA would be back on August 22 in Pampanga. Is there a new development on this?

Checking the most updated Facebook pages like PBA Official  Spin.ph, Smart Sports, PBA Rush, PBA site news portal, there's no recent update yet about how's the progress of the league switching venue to Pampanga.

Still a week to go so surely, we should expect an update, at least, next week probably 2-3 days before the conference restarts.

If you are investing or buying stuff for future gains, then it's gambling

Am I reading this right? In the first place, why do you invest in something if, in the end, you will consider it gambling? You invested because you are expecting gains later on. If you will consider it gambling, then the point of whole investment is useless.

but if you want to play and have fun on these gaming sites and don't care if about gains then it's not gambling at all

That's more of gambling honestly since you don't care about the gains. You will just wait on any results out from gambling your money.
3325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 14, 2021, 06:21:25 AM

The WBA just follow their official rules why they strip the belt on Pacquiao:

Rule C.14 - Champion and their teams are required to know the WBA rules and regulations.
Rule C.22-24 Champion is unable to defend the belt for medical, legal or other reasons beyond his control, he may be named champion in recess,

Since Ugas got it by default, he just needs to prove that the decision of WBA granting him the belt is reasonable.

I think they just need to manage the minutes of Leonard like what Raptors did when during his time there, the "load management" is very helpful.

I think it's not necessary to do it. Kawhi was able to enter the playoffs healthy last season. That's the purpose of load management. However, in the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard got injured. That's where load management got wasted.

He just needs some boost from his teammates. We already saw that when he got injured last playoffs, his teammates step ups. If they will manage to sustain it, no need for Kawhi to always carry the load.
3327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can anything make you stop gambling on: August 14, 2021, 03:10:47 AM

I'm a responsible gambler even I have already lose lots of money doing gambling. It's just that I'm not allowing myself to fall on that worst trap. No one can make me stop gambling but maybe in the future, there will be an event that can change my gambling behavior. Who knows.

But for now, I'm not even thinking of it. Just relax and chill OP. Do your usual gambling thing as always. If you are getting too much stress from losing, then quit or take a break in the meantime.
3328  Local / Pamilihan / Re: face 2 face transaction in Manila on: August 14, 2021, 02:52:35 AM
In addition to those, I think you can even work with being a basic verified [doesn't require any document] user on that platform:

OP won't be able to use the P2P feature of Binance unless complying with advanced verification. That's was the prerequisite.

Another way can be, and OP looks like staying here in the PH for long as he also understands Tagalog, he can deposit the crypto on a trusted friend's or relatives account that can comply with KYC.

Can you sign a message or messages to prove you have that much in your possession?

This makes sense. So if ever there's someone who wants to help OP, there's a reference that's it true and we are not just wasting time here.

I'm not saying something could happen to him, but I honestly would not suggest doing this face to face transaction now that crypto is already very popular in the Philippines and the risk is getting scam or rob is higher too.

If let's say OP will transact to Fonseca, no need to face to face.

OP can make payment first by batches or full as the guy is trusted.
3329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 13, 2021, 02:43:37 PM
Does Manny badly needed money to accept this fight? It's already a pity that he had to fight at his age like what Floyd once said but it's still acceptable since he's facing Spence. I don't see any reason why he had to do this now that he's facing someone not as huge or at least known.

I think you are not getting the picture of what happened.

Why does the blame now turn to Manny? He has a scheduled fight and there's no problem on his side so he will push on it. So basically, you want him to skip the match because his original opponent is not available anymore?

Blame Spence Jr. instead for that as I'm now slowly believing in the rumor that he may think his clean record will now be given dirt if the fight push through.
3330  Economy / Speculation / Re: No BTC Holding is risky on: August 13, 2021, 02:28:38 PM

Just go with the flow then. Take all previous actions as a reference for a better decision in the future.

That's the challenge, how to benefit and take advantage whether it's bull or bear. We don't have crystal balls to tell us exactly what will happen in the future so regrets are part of the game. What if the price went down more after selling some of our coins? Then our verdict is, we did the right thing. We can come back again and again in the event that there's no BTC left on our precious stash.

We just need to think outside the box or better, totally removed the box.
3331  Economy / Economics / Re: If you can get paid through cryptocurrency, do you still choose fiat currency? on: August 13, 2021, 02:03:55 PM
Maybe in 10 years from now literally every store has the infrastructure to facilitate quick and easy cryptocurrency transactions. I remember the times when debit and credit cards were a quite new thing and you couldn't pay with card everywhere. Nowadays it is the pervasive standard. I think the same will happen with cryptocurrencies and the required infrastructure.

However, also 10 years from now, digital fiat payment will be more fast and convenient. It's already improved honestly and that's what people want.

Not all employees don't like the idea of receiving crypto as salary even they are aware of the good future on it. Maybe because the opportunity to use it everywhere is still far from happening. The majority of regular employees spend their salary right away so no difference at all if they will be paid in crypto as they will convert it to fiat quickly.

Those who will accept crypto as salary are those who already lurk in the crypto-world for a long time as they more understand the market volatility.
3332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could you please recommend your fave NFT games aside from AXIE? on: August 13, 2021, 01:21:30 PM
This is the same type as axie but he is in the BSC network, so it's easier for us small players, because the fee at BSC is certainly cheaper

MyDefiPet is one of Kardiachain's original DApps. They add the game on the BSC chain it was the most used network while promoting Kardiachain. KAI users are enjoying less fees + abundant rewards compare to BSC users as far as reviews and feedback on social media are concerned.

The CEO of MyDefiPet is also Kardiachain's CEO. If you want to enter the game, I suggest choosing the KAI network.
3333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 13, 2021, 12:55:21 PM
Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled? 

I don't like to involve the concern of being ethical or non-ethical at that type of event. It's just a common sports event and the status of the participants or whatever has nothing to do with it. It's like a usual sports event on a different tier so nothing big deal about this.

About betting, I also don't see any problem with it. Not experience yet betting on that event but haven't heard of the news that there are people who are against it. It's should be like a normal betting we should see in a sportsbook.
3334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what's with "axie infinity"? on: August 13, 2021, 07:38:20 AM
..you are not sure whether you will be able to take profit or not, but right now  I think the AXS and SLP is doing great.

Believed me, 100% you will able to take profit here in long-term. The only question here is when will you reach your ROI because it depends on how hard you play, your strategy, and SLP's market price. The lower the SLP's market price, the longer you will hit ROI but we are not talking about years here and it shouldn't be a reason why you should not reach your ROI.

Long-term, you have an assurance that it will generate income soon. It's not a passive income though. You need to work on it and don't expect an overnight profit from playing.
3335  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How does one start on crypto? on: August 13, 2021, 06:48:55 AM
Not looking to invest like 5 figures but more of like 3 to 4 figure ranges to create that monthly recurring for my expenses.

That would be tough. Earnings from crypto are not on regular basis so don't depend on it to cover your monthly expenses.

Basically, you will profit here from "buying low and selling it to high price". Sounds easy right? But that was hard to execute since crypto is volatile. What is volatile mean? For us not to explain the basics, then you should refer to some articles around the web or Youtube videos with the keyword "What is bitcoin" as your first video then "Bitcoin trading" as your next video. Then just come back here for other questions.

Of course, it's just a start. You can profit from doing trades not just by bitcoin. You will eventually gain knowledge soon as long as you are serious. Again, it's not meant to cover your monthly spendings.
3336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 13, 2021, 06:18:12 AM
Korver is a good backup for Harris, if Harris will struggle again, he can of course help because he also has a lot of playoffs experience already. What I'm seeing is that the nets are really competing with the Lakers in getting veterans at a minimum salary, of course, this also gives an opportunity to the veterans to have their championship in their career.

The Nets will sign Korver, not as part of the roster, but as a player development assistant coach. Try to refer to the discussion above.

But even for let's say he signed as a player, there's no such thing as a competition between teams signing veterans. That's weird. Cheesy

The Nets have hired ex-NBA sharpshooter Kyle Korver as a player development assistant coach.
3337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best wallet for Crypto Sportbooks deposits/withdrawals? on: August 13, 2021, 05:04:15 AM
Maybe the exchanges still allow us to send or deposit our funds through gambling sites to that exchanges but the exchanges can change their policy in the future and mostly, we are not aware of that.

I think when depositing to a gambling site, there will be no problem. But when withdrawing or receiving from gambling sites, that might trigger the bell.

As far as OP's question is concerned, he can still use Binance without worries of the account being locked due to gambling as there are no rules about it. If there's a change of terms and policy, Binance always updating their users but I doubt they will more concerned about money coming from a gambling site unless they detected an alarming transaction.
3338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons for newbies loss in bitcoin on: August 13, 2021, 02:58:27 AM

That's why there are newbies right? Even they read lots of basic fundamentals, advice, suggestions, etc. prior to doing trades, once they experienced the actual, there is really a chance that they will be choked on the way. Let them experience the bad outputs of doing trades then decide for themselves if they will continue or not.

It's way better for me that those newbies will experience lots of mistakes and problems in the early phase of doing trades so they will know and understand what should they do. Soon, they will try to avoid it by creating a strategy. There's no easy path to success and all newbies should at least experience these mistakes in order to learn

Maybe what's better to discuss is, "reasons for experience traders loss in bitcoin". Smiley
3339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 12, 2021, 11:59:23 PM
I am yet to watch any fights of Yordenis Ugas live but Manny Pacquiao is too strong technically for this kid.

Actually, Yordenis Ugas is now in his post-prime age. He is now 35 years of age so even behind 7 years of age to Pacquiao, he is now considered as a veteran boxer unlike the likes of Spence Jr, Thurman, Crawford, etc. that can still be considered as a "kid" if they will face Pacquiao.

Ugas title of SuperWelterweigth was earned because it was granted by WBA as the previous holder Pacquiao is inactive. He didn't earn it thru a match so this is the best time he can show the world that he deserves the title.
3340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 12, 2021, 11:43:41 PM
No Durant isn't going to leave that legacy at the Nets. 

Agree and it makes sense. Leaving Nets and using his supposed player option will result in mass criticism knowing Nets gave their all to form their current roster and giving ups a possible and some valuable future Round 1 picks.

Kevin Durant will definitely try to make a good run in the Nets, or if possible a championship, until the contract expires. Then that's the time he can freely choose teams without backlash from the fans especially the Nets fans.

I read that Kyle Korver is joining the Nets and I thought to myself that this must be the beginning of them loading up on good veterans for cheap to fill out their roster.

I just have to say that all veterans that Nets acquired are now inconsistent e.g DJ, Blake, etc, and have no bearing with me honestly if they will acquire Kyle Korver as he still has that shooting stroke. But it turned out not like a player as part of the roster but as a development coach. He might be a good help to it to improve more the Nets shooting, especially since the team has a good shooting percentage last season, either in the perimeter and rainbow area.
