I am seldom into lotteries. There is no excitement there. It is mostly on the very slim chance of winning, but life changing prizes. Lotteries are also cheap, so it's like nothing. Real gamblers are into the process and the outcome. Both are important. But if I only need to pick one, i'll go with process in a slight edge. Entertainment it is but it feels better when you can also win.

it will distract jones that's very clever of reyes. its a strategy executed before the fight. Honestly this is not boxing, boxing is a dangerous sport as well and people may end up hurting each other there too, we have seen many people bloodied up and hurt on boxing ring as well, however reality is on UFC people are a lot more close on combat and when you compare Mayweather and Bones I would say UFC doesn't allow that type of defensive system Mayweather has to continue until he is 50 years old, Bones will eventually have to slow down or be worse because of old age and that will result with some young 25 year old dude to finally kick his ass easily and when you look at his games, dude wins usually with decision as well like Mayweather, eventually someone will catch up off guard and hit the living air out of him and knock him out very easily.
If Jon Jones won't retire then he will be beaten one day by a younger fighter. Anderson Silva is a better example rather using Floyd Mayweather Jr. which is into boxing and it is a different sport. In mma you aren't just using your fists but it includes elbows, legs and you can also grapple, take-downs, choke and many more. That means Jon Jones if he wants to remain fighting despite his age will be attentive on many aspects. It is true that when someone is ageing he will become more experience wise and smart and accurate. That opportunity costs a lot too because as you grow older you will become slower and your strength decreases. Only time will tell how long Jon Jones remains a champion. I still think he wins against Reyes. 32 is not that old. 34 or 35 above, that will be the time most fighters start to diminish. their hands will matter when it comes to retiring apart from age. the bones in our knuckles will sometimes break when a puncher hit a real hard jaw. some knuckles will be break right in the middle of the fight and when that happens, you can always be assured that fighter will not last in the industry anymore. he will not box as hard as he would before the knuckle breaking punch and his ability to knock will gradually deteriorate. you will notice it to some fighters int he past. i'm not sure if jones had this issue yet since he is using his elbows for the most fights. he is not that old either. Floyd Mayweather jr. and Nonito Donaire jr. are bnoth good examples of damaged/brittled hands in the fighting industry. Reason why Mayweather jr. seldom scores a knockout or knockdown later on with his career. But in MMA there are many forms of weapons. But for sure you'd be unlucky when your main weapon is your power punch and you damaged your hands. Chuck Liddell is an example in mma that is mostly utilizing his iron fists. The good thing about being gifted with an iron fist is that it won't leave you, not even when you are old, it's one of the last things that remain in a fighter's career. |

Patuloy ang magandang nilalaro ni ZION para sa Pelicans.
Akala ko puro hype ang mangyayari or magkakaroon sya ng malaking struggle sa height nya at posisyon na nilalaro nya.
Mali tayo sa akala natin, tuloy tuloy na ang panalo ng pelicans, 3 winning streak na sila, kaya ito hanggang 10 basta yung laro ni Zion di magbabago. Though yung standing nila wala pa sa top 8 pero konting games pa, soon pasok na yan sila. Si Zion lang pala ang kulang ng Pelicans, ngayon alam na natin, at sana fully healthy na siya until playoffs kung palaring makapasok. Mukhang Pinapatunayan talaga nung bata yung worth nya bilang pick pick sa draft. Ang ganda ng improvement ng Pelicans dahil meron silang dominant sa loob then yung mga kasama nya sa loob talagang nag peperform din kaya naman makikita sa outcome ng bawat game nila na meron talagang patutunguhan ang bawat laro, sana nga tuloy tuloy na ang ganitong setup para umabot sila sa next round. Nakakagulat nga si Zion no? Tapos may 3 point shooting rin pala. Given the current roster ng New Orleans possible talaga na magiging strong contender sila sa West sa mga susunod na taon. Although pwede pa naman sila makapasok sa playoffs this season pero medyo malabo dahil kulang rin sa experience. Baka hanggang first round lang sila this season kung palaring makapasok man sa playoffs. |

I finally played Luckydice today. Although I wasn't so lucky but it was fun. The interface and background music, it's good and not boring that I forgot to check my time. There are multiple currencies too as options; bitcoin, ethereum, xrp, doge, litecoin and dash. For sure, I will be playing again (hopefully luck is with me on my next visit).

Ang pangit nung last picks ko. I took to much gamble dun. Sayang yung 3 points. Sana makabawi.
Day 53 picks:
1. Denver Nuggets
2. Milwaukee Bucks
3. Toronto Raptors
Ewan ko na lang kung hindi pa rin ako maka-score nito. Kunin ko rin sana Houston Rockets kaso wala pa si Capela at maganda last performances ng New Orleans.

We just have to hope that barcelona lose many games and real madrid win many games so that real madrid becomes a champion. Barcelona is very dependent on Lionel Messi, in my opinion I haven't seen them play well in the last games, and if that continues they may lose games and if Real Madrid play well they could be champions. Do you think Zidane is doing the best of his abilities for Real Madrid? Or he is somewhat lucky that his team is currently playing well despite not utilizing Gareth Bale? Somehow, I wanted to see Real Madrid stumble on their next games without the presence of Gareth Bale. Zidane could have let go on him but didn't do it when there a chance. The team is spending big money on a player that wasn't utilized what he's supposed to do. |

My Day 52 picks.
1. Indiana Pacers
2. Miami Heat
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Brooklyn Nets
5. Atlanta Hawks
6. Philadelphia 76ers
7. Portland Trail Blazers
Luka and Porzingis are both out in their home game against Atlanta, so I guess Trae Young and his team should be able to win this. Boston is also yet to win a single game against Philadelphia this season and they are without Kemba here. I am not really sure if I can find an easy pick here due to the spreads. So i'm just taking my chances.

Eliminated participants:

14. Bttzed03 (6) - eliminated in day 41 It already feels bad getting eliminated from the competition and it's even worse being reminded over and over again every time I get notification from this post  Baka naman pwede huwag ng ulit-ulitin Sorry bro. Don't feel bad. You did posted predictions daily and stayed in the game for 41 tough days. Thanks for being active. I'll replace your "0" with small "o" to avoid further notifs.  Halos isang linggo na lang para dito...
@inthelongrun, paps dito na lang din ba ang finale or separate thread? (Pero mas ok ata kung dito na lang din) Dito lang din sana pero after reading your comment i'll think which is best. Another thread focusing for the Finals would be great too. Tsaka yung updates pala sa Final Stage walang lagayan sa first 3 pages? Feel ko mas okay manatili 2nd post at 3rd post as Stage 1 final update. We will see kung ano maganda gawin. |

Wow! It's been around two months since I had no updates on most sports I like. Liverpool looks very ahead on points now. I can say they are gonna take that title. Finally! They can make it even sweeter if they can also take the Champions League. Although it's another story and is a very difficult task. But Liverpool is one of the best teams favorite to win it.

Anong nangyayari sa Rockets, bat yung scoring ni harden bumababa at yung shooting percentage nya hindi na maganda, si westbrook na ba ang pinagbubuhat nila sa Rockets, at worse talo pa sila sa Blazers, mukhang napaka ganda ng pagkakuha kay Ariza sa Blazers.
score nila kanina - 112 -125
Maganda ung pagkakakuha kay Ariza knowing him naman eversince hindi naman sya kung sino lang magaling na player sya both offense and defense sa nangyari kanina medyo malamya nga yung nilaro ni Harden pero para nman sa mga ganyang team it will be forgotten and move forward pag uusapan at pag aaralan yung susunod na adjustment na gagawin nila. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako sold out kay Westbrook sa Houston. Ang laro kasi ng Houston is focus talaga kay Harden ang offense, he can pass the ball when necessary pero hindi yung parang pressured minsan kasi andyan si Westbrook. Houston should try offering Westbrook services to other teams, mas cheaper at role players. |
