Ah its a pity for Raducanu, I wonder if she envisioned a more successful follow on from the U.S
open for herself? Hopefully she can work things out and get back to winning ways.

I think she will get back to winning, yes. She announced a new coach yesterday, too... Torben Beltz, who is vastly experienced and worked with Kerber for quite a while. Having a permanent coach of any sort, but particularly one who is so experienced at the top level should be a huge asset. I think she will come back strong and have a good 2022, and likely cement a place in the top 10. The last few months must have been crazy for her, but whenever I see her in interviews she seems very level-headed and rational, so I don't think this brief dip will faze her at all.

Hopefully though, with a new coach, she can go back in winning form.

I'm sure everyone is familiar on how we critic here, a few pages back after winning the US Open and then changing her coach and even compare here to Osaka.

And I think some of us might be right back then as she didn't duplicate the success up to know. So let's see how it goes this time with a announcement of new coach.

Bitcoin back in striking distance of the all time high and moving up quickly. I’m showing its up 5.5% in the last 24 hours and within 2.5% of the all time high. I think it’s extremely likely we’ll see a new all time high in the next 48 hours as we venture back into price discovery territory. As an investor, there are few words that excite me more than ‘price discovery’ and I’m looking forward to it.

I was about to say that, just surprising to see a massive jump in the last 24 hours, and now we are in the $65,300 and it's very close to the old all time high. Who knows, this week we might set a new high probably close to $68,000-$70,000.

And then the whole discussion about getting into the 6 digit range will heat up again. Specially the S2F model, wherein it might be on track again. So let's wait and look forward and optimistic that a new all time high will be achieved at the end of the week.
3343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 08, 2021, 01:41:21 AM
The opening odds are ;

Quote
Vasyl Lomachenko has opened as the -400 betting favorite against Richard Commey.
Loma and Commey have agreed to a deal to fight on December 11th, after the Heisman Trophy presentation.
At +300, this is only the fourth time in Commey’s career that he’s opened as a betting underdog. He lost the previous three instances.
https://www.thesportsgeek.com/news/sportsbooks-install-vasyl-lomachenko-as-heavy-betting-favorite-against-richard-commey/

If the trend will continue, then most likely Commey will lose and this will be his 4th loss being listed as the underdog in a fight.
Loma is back, that's what I can say because he really look so impressive in his last fight and that's the reason why I like to see him have a rematch with Lopez and I'm pretty sure the outcome would not be the same.

He is already healthy no more effects of that shoulder injury as we have seen that he is back to his old form of being so technical against a bigger Nakatani. He as so impressive that he looks for another match within the year and it will be Richard Commey.

Commey is a decent to good fighter, but he is no much to Loma at this point. Loma is really very focus on regaining all his belts and Commey is just one fighter that he needs to dispose off and then get it all back from Lopez.

^^ I thought that the Djokovic vs Hurkacz match was just two setter. So indeed, if Hurkacz has just enough luck on him, he could have pulled his biggest upset.

And against Medvedev, if Djokovic is the underdog, then it's better to bet on him. I haven't seen him as a betting a underdog for so long, can't remember the last time, maybe against Nadal or Federer.
I really hoped for some great odds on Medvedev but bookies decided to honor the form for once. No matter, my money still goes on Medvedev. I know it sounds strange but I think only way for Djokovic to win this is for Medvedev to loose his cool and break apart.

And this what happens, Medvedev is in control of the first set, until he was affected by a heckling fan and he admitted that he was really mad about it, and that window of opportunity open for Djokovic, won the second set and the rest is history.

Djokovic will remain at the end of year, it could have been perfect if he won the Olympics and then the US Open.
3345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27 on: November 07, 2021, 06:12:41 AM
Here is the latest interview from Teofimo Lopez, fight will be on the 27th already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bLE3_HZCj0

He said that he is going to massacre George Kambosos and will knock him out in round 1.

Really confident that he will going to finished Kambosos by a brutal knock out. Then he is talking about to move to 140 lbs so maybe we can't see him and Loma.


He has to do what he said, talking too much does not help at all, I know he is good but Kambasos is not an ordinary fighter that he could just toy in the ring. I guess it's telling me that Kambasos really have a good chance here, he is playing mind games hopefully Kambasos will not fall for that, and instead, he will work hard to dethrone Lopez who is underestimating his capability.

He is such a big mouth that sometimes when you listen to him, you get irritate with all the bruhaha coming from his mouth, self glorified boxer. If he wanted to be one of the greats in the 135 lbs division, he should wait for Loma, Davis, Haney and Ryan Garcia and clean the division up before moving to 140 lbs.


He is so confident as he hasn't experienced a defeat yet, beating Loma was actually the reason why he is more confident now but I guess Loma deserves a rematch because he is not fully healthy the last time they meet, and you are right if he is really strong, he should fight the names you've mentioned and prove to the world that he is the best by beating them.

Yes, but he should take into consideration that he fights a boxer with only one shoulder during their fight.

That's why everyone is really shock to see Loma fighting that way, he is too tentative to throw and engage Lopez early and just allow him to win points in the judges.

And later we've learn that Loma is not 100% in the fight. So that probably half a victory for Lopez only so he shouldn't be carrying that win as if it really put him into the greats list.
3346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: November 07, 2021, 05:07:20 AM
Not a surprising result. Canelo did what he does to every opponent. He wore Plant down with body shots and finished him off in the late rounds.

Yep, Plant put up a good fight though in the beginning and it's really bothering Canelo early because he can't get inside. But once Canelo negate that jab, then he was able to get inside, slip in his left hook which Caleb took.

However, we all know that sooner or later you will get tired and then the power of Canelo is consistent from round 1 up to the end of the fight. Plant was too tired by all those left hooks and body shots.
3347  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60k price recovery achieved on: November 07, 2021, 03:13:26 AM
I think there have been lots of little announcements that have boosted the price up since it dropped back down. It becoming an official currency in El Salvador has given it a lot more credibility in the fiat currency world. Things like Mastercard planning to offer abilities for various cryptocurrencies in future is a huge boost to it - they are one of the few large payment card providers in the world and it will give huge accessibility benefits to Bitcoin when it gets going. Then we have lots of banks announcing that they have plans to allow cryptocurrency purchases in future. Collectively the trend is still positive and this could mean an even higher boost than what you're expecting.
I believe that those small news that happened do not really impact the price right now. El Salvador was a great thing but the day it happened we had a crash, probably man made manipulation as we can guess but those type of stuff are not the main reason why we are seeing these increases over 60k.

It's really two fold in this market, majority buy the news that's why there are FOMO. While whales try to manipulate it by putting a big chunk of sell order to scare small to medium traders and that's what probably happened in the El Salvador news.

I believe that people are hyped about it again and that's it, you do not even need a proper reason to be hyped about something, it could be hyped anyway. So, I believe that we should just let it be, do not search for a reason and you will just be fine. I hope that it will get better, it should be higher than even 100k and we do not need any news for that at all, just a bit higher, then people get hyped and buy more and more and FOMO becomes real and suddenly you see it skyrocketing like crazy. This is why I believe that we are doing fine our own without needing any external push.

Once that hype is build up, it will be called FOMO then, but so far the only the news that will hype bitcoin investors is the Taproot activation which will happen in the second week of this month. So let's see if I'm correct that it might be the catalyst to push the price to a new all time high this month.

LOL, Tron is dead already, Justin has no longer the power to wand his influence on his followers.

We've seen a lot of coins that really upstage Tron now, even hitting multiple ATH in a year. But Tron remains stagnant, on the contrary it went down hard and up to know it's hard for it to bounce back and have a recovery. I admit that I once a big follower of Tron and I thought that it will be big in the future. But I'm totally wrong and sold early at the end of the year 2020 and it's a good decision on my end.

The undercards are underway and for those who want to watch the live events here please check this link https://www.facebook.com/103314412143631/videos/665159587810274 I don't know if this is delayed or live but at least we can see the coming action between Caleb Plant and Canelo Alvarez I'm sure this fight will live up to our expectation.

Thanks for the share, yeah, the undercard was already on it's way and we have seen some knock outs already.

But I guess the Caleb Plant vs Saul Alvarez will be like 2 hours from now. Unless all this undercard fights are going to knock out their opponent early in the round then we don't have to wait for too long for the main card. I have Alvarez by KO here, 1.56, yes I know but for me a odd of 1.5 and above it's good enough to throw some good money.

Does Deron Williams losses his money from the time he plays basketball?LOL

Not sure why ex-basketball players are also into this kind of exhibitions, except of course they are looking for a quick and good money in this kind of fights.

And my best guess is that Williams may have been in some bad investments that he needed to recover and have some money fast.

Maybe, the music industry will be the next big thing for crypto.

However, we have seen many projects involving this industry way back in 2017-2018 (I forget the project though), but nothing seems to happen or at least the hype is not there. Maybe musician has been reaping the benefits of digital ever since and that's why the hype in the music industry is not there.
3353  Economy / Speculation / Re: When new ATH? When moon? on: November 06, 2021, 03:49:45 AM
It's been almost 2 weeks since Bitcoin made a new ATH from $65K to $67K. Price is currently (as or writing) around 5% down at $63.5K. But when will we see another new ATH in Bitcoin?

Do any of you still think this is a double top that won't be broken ? How many of you are waiting patiently for 6 figures ?

The new ATH will certainly be in November, possibly even during the next week.
As for the 6-digit Bitcoin price, it is very possible even this year if people will believe that it is a repeat of the situation from 2017. If the gains are slower, I think we will see $100k in February or March.

I wouldn't say it's for certain that we will see a new all time high this month because the price is very unstable right now and it's swinging within $60,000-$61,000.

But the chances are very high, a new all time high is just a couple of thousands of dollars. And we all know that when FOMO set's in, the market can't be stop and there could be massive spike in the horizon. Let's say we remain optimistic, after all we are still in the first week of November and there are a lot of things that can happen before the end of the month.
3354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 06, 2021, 03:19:56 AM

So Loma is back after his big win against Nakatani. And then time will be pitted against Richard Commey, a former champion.

Although we can argue that it seems that Loma is just fighting Teo Lopez left-over, but he is doing it more than Lopez though. Lopez has a difficult fight against Nakatani, but Loma just toyed with Nakatani and defeat him via TKO. So the pattern may continue here, I will have Loma winning by stoppage and the fight will not last 12 rounds.


Probably one of the most exciting matches that are still about to happen in this year. A fight of Lomachenko is always beautiful to watch because he is probably the best technical boxer at the moment and his footwork is outstanding and by far the best of any boxer that is active at the moment. That being said he lost a bit of his magic and his aura of being untouchable and unbeatable in his fight against Lopez that he lost quite clearly. I saw that fight back then and i was surprised how inactive Loma was because it looke to me as if he could have done way more during the fight but somehow he could not deliver. I'm glad that he won against Nakatani though and he is also the big favorite against Commey.

Yes, I also consider him one of the best technical boxers we have right now. Too technical, but you won't get bored on his fight. Because when we say technical fighters like Rigo comes into our mind, or Floyd. Defensive and technical fighter.

But Loma is not that kind of technical fighter, he is more of a defensive one, he is more of a offensive boxer and uses his foot placement to trap his opponents and for sure we are going to see it more here in the Commey fight.
3355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: November 06, 2021, 02:31:52 AM
Really looking for Monfils vs Djokovic, I thought that this one will be good as Monfils is playing good and then what a surprised.

Gaston vs Medvedev in the first now. I have a feeling that Medvedev will take this one in just 2 sets. No offense to Gaston, but then again, when Medvedev is on a roll, hard to stop him.
I would love to see a final between Medvedev and Djokovic, it could be his chance to get his revenge on Medvedev, that's the final I am expecting to happen, I have no doubt that Nole can reach the final, but I am a little concerned about Medvedev because Zverev has been doing good lately, but I think Danil can secure a spot in the final.

Yes, it's just a two set win for Medvedev here.

Who wouldn't love to see Djokovic vs Medvedev in the finals? That would give us fans a lot of reasons to watch the fight live whatever timezone we have right now.

Djokovic vs Hurkacz - hopefully we can see Djokovic dominate this match and move on to the finals.

Medvedev vs Zverev - tough call, not sure who are going to take it, probably go Over with this game.
3356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one are You ? on: November 06, 2021, 01:48:17 AM
Much better if you put it on a sort of poll, so that we will see which will get the most votes here.

I'm no longer an addicted gambler, learn my lessons in a very hard and expensive way.

I'll just gamble when I feel like to going to a land base casino's or play online, sport bet, slots games or even some baccarat games. I'm in no way to make a living out of gambling though, and and I know that once I'm started to roll, all that capital and bankroll are going to lose. So better play with the amount that you can afford to lose.
3357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: November 06, 2021, 01:28:06 AM
The weigh-in and the face-off are very intense, they are not allowed a close face-off and both fighters are ignoring the request of one of the promoters to turn around and face the crowd they just continue to thrash talk each other, even the crowd are also intense shouting USA and Mexico this will be very exciting.


CANELO ALVAREZ VS CALEB PLANT - FULL WEIGH IN & FACE OFF (INTENSE!!)

Yep, both parties are alive in this face-off, Caleb has his own fan base and so is Canelo. But it's obvious, that Canelo has a lot of fans in that stadium.

Caleb looks intense but at the same time very confident as well that he will make history tomorrow night. But I've heard there are still tickets but very selective tickets are only available, (maybe the price is very high and only VIP can afford it). I haven't put my bet yet to be honest, I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe Caleb will have that small chance to create an upset.
3358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: November 05, 2021, 12:28:57 PM
I think Norrie might qualify and play against Djokovic

Norrie has now lost his match, so I think that's the end of his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals. There's no remaining tournament that offers enough points for him to make up the deficit, particularly as Hurkacz has won to extend his existing points advantage.
Norrie came close, and has had a great season. If he keeps it up next year, I think he has a decent chance of breaking into the top 8.

Yeah, I thought that Norrie is going to win his match too, I have a parlay with him, but it was obviously got destroyed. Actually is an Over, but he can't forced a third set to keep his hopes alive. When I saw that it was already 5-1 in the tie-break, it was over, no miracle comeback for him. Let's see what he can do next year, a lot of players are also coming up with great performances of their own before the end of the year.
3359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What game do you prefer in gambling? on: November 05, 2021, 12:14:05 AM
Sports betting on the list that the OP has given.

More exciting to bet and I would say that it if you follow a certain player or team, most likely you knows what they can bring in the table during a game or match so you put a bet on them, and good chances of winning too. As compare to dice, which we all know is pure luck based game.
3360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: JP Morgan believes Bitcoin is Overpriced on: November 04, 2021, 10:50:55 PM
JP Morgan analysts say bitcoin's most probable price outcome is to never hit 100k as it is terribly overpriced.  JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists recently released a report where they mention that Bitcoins's price is overpriced and for it to hit the 100k mark it would need to have volatility decreased. They point out that Bitcoin is now being traded above 60k but the true price for Bitcoin should be $35k.

What do you guys think about this?

Usually this kind of statement is not surprising, and on the contrary, you should hold that the opposite are going to happen here.

Or they just wanted to buy cheap Bitcoin again because they have history of creating FUD or at least jumping on some FUD and then when the market is affected negatively, they are going to buy ton of cheap bitcoin, sell at a a right time to make profit.
