So Donaire has already found an opponent in Gaballo. I was expecting Donaire and Casimero to meet after Casimero defeated Rigondeaux    with a split decision. But Donaire has already settled with a good fighter but with less caliber than Casimero. Perhaps Casimero would be facing Naoya next.

Gaballo looks like a boxer, undefeated, and in good shape but still very young in experience compared to the veteran Donaire.

They have to face their mandatory first and win their respective fight before we can see them in the ring. That's usually happen in mandatory fight, the opponents are obviously that in the caliber of the champion. But it is what it is, they need to settle it down.

Gaballo is an up and coming boxing from the Philippines, thus he will be facing one of the legends in the Philippine boxing in Donaire. But I give the edge to Nonito because of his boxing IQ and his experience.

Has anyone watched the J&T Banka Ostrava Open? it doesn't seem so festive, even though I saw there are some famous women like Sakarri and Martincova where she can meet on quarter-final today.
Martincova has won on 16 rounds vs Pavlyuchenkova while Sakarri has won vs Ostapenko on 16 rounds yesterday. I think Sakari will win the match and going to the semifinal.

 I watched the game between Sakkari and Ostapenko and Sakkari destroyed Ostpenko in straight 6-2 6-4. For me Sakkari looks really good in this tournament and i think she can even win it if she continues to play like this. Should be an easy win against Martincova in todays match

Yeah, lots of potential on Sakkari.

Lost my parlay bet on the Metz Open, and regarding Andy Murray march on this tournament, it has ended as he lost to the top seed Hurkacz in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3. So Hurkacz will be facing Gojowczyk in the quarterfinals. Then Carreno-Busta vs Rune on the other hand. I bet both top seeds are going to win in 3 sets.

I wouldnt bet on Murray if i knew he was gone a win. He is not close to his prime at all. Hurkacz can go really far im this tournament maybe even win it. Rune has a really hard challenge and will take something big from him to win against Carreno Busta.

Carreno Busta already won in three sets against Rune and will be facing Monfils in the semifinals.

I like Carreno Busta chances against Monfils. So Murray lost, it is expected already, but it good to see him at least winning in this tournament and progressing, but it's obvious that he is no longer on his prime.

I'm expecting the two top seeds to meet in the finals, Hurkacz vs Carreno Busta.
3423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: September 25, 2021, 02:36:10 AM

~snip~


~snip~

So eventually, Casimero will have no options, unless he wanted to be strip of his belt by WBO. And this is a good fight for Casimero specially if he knocks out Butler or win in a good fashion.

Perhaps this is really a good opportunity for him to have a potential good match, but he shouldn't put his confidence beyond limits. We aren't sure if Butler would be beatin by him, since this was also a strong fighter though he got a strong foundation being a boxer but preparation is the most keys in order to win over his opponent. Every barriers should he observed before anything else will negatively exist.

I don't think that Casimero will be over confident against Butler. For sure his team knows that every fight is very important for him and should be treated with 100% training and dedication and hard work. They are now on the top and they doesn't need to make one mistake that will be very costly for his career. On the other hand, Butler is also thinking that he has a chance to beat the champ in Casimero, that's why in paper it looks like Casimero will have the advantage. But when they face in the ring it will be different.

It's not a false alarm, they have been banning crypto since 2013, LOL.

So why are investors still affected by this news? I haven't check the price, but today it is $42,000-$43,000. We are still above or at least in the average for this month. So I guess the drop will be temporary. On the contrary, if history repeats itself, this kind of statement from China will fuel another bull run.

Flexing their muscles to who?

They can't just go to Russian and bring it down, it's very different. So I guess this sanction won't be that effective and I'm sure that the Suex exchange will just continue to run it's business and probably laughing at US DoT regarding the issuance of this sanctions. And as you have said, Russian government will not even lift a finger here regarding the attempt of the US.
3426  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Price Prediction on: September 24, 2021, 07:38:43 AM
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices have jumped today with ethereum rival cardano making a huge leap higher—even after Coinbase revealed an ethereum surprise last week.

The bitcoin price remains off the closely-watched $50,000 per bitcoin level but ethereum has climbed back over the $3,000 mark after dipping under it earlier today.

Now, as cardano and solana make double-digit gains and outpace other cryptocurrencies, famed investment strategist Lyn Alden has predicted bitcoin will hit $100,000 and ethereum will reach $5,000 as soon as next year.

Reference
Looking at the current state of the crypto market, it is very difficult to say for sure what will happen in the next year. The odds are almost the same for both a decline and an increase with a slightly higher probability of a fall. Although some experts predict the growth of bitcoin and Ethereum is very large in the future. Considering the current bitcoin price is close to $42,000 and the Ethereum price is $2900. However, how and when the price of bitcoin and Ethereum will reach such high predictions is still uncertain.

cryptocurrencies are in a dilemma after several countries refuse to adopt bitcoin. as a result of this incident the market price slightly decreased sharply from $52k to $42k. In cases like this, it is rather difficult to predict future market prices, will bitcoin stay at $42k and pump again or continue to fall in price. a little worried to decide how to predict the future.

LOL, what do you mean several countries refusing to adopt bitcoin. If they don't adopt that will be fine, but we have El Salvador who legalized it and then probably Paraguay will be next. As I have said, adoption would come definitely, the main thing is that there should be big online stores that will come first, not countries because that's how bitcoin has been designed, to be used a micro-payment scheme. Nevertheless, adoption is growing, just in a slow phase.
3427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 24, 2021, 06:52:37 AM
Everyone in social media is now talking about the face off event and how crisp and sharp Canelo Alvarez looked and that push was fun to watch as Caleb Plant did not expect that coming and then the shots that were landed looked good and if Canelo Alvarez can land easily against Caleb Plant then he will be able to hit him in the fight as well without much effort and that is what the talk is all about in social media and it has hyped up the event Grin.

This is something that we don't like to see we don't want punches flying in the face-off, it's meant to hype the event but never for punches to fly
the worst thing that can happen is a postponement of the highly anticipated fight, I wonder what would happen if Canelo hit Plant's face and had a deep cut, we'll have two more months of postponement, and this is a big blow to promoters.

For the record though, it was Caleb that was aggressive in the face off, he threw the first punch, and Canelo just reacted, and he punch with open fist. So if there's someone to blame here it will be Caleb. In any case, judging by the reaction of boxing posters here, it created more hype, majority are waiting for the betting line to open.

As for the cut, those are fighters, they are used to getting gashes in the face, even at sparring they will get than kind of facial injury. So that's nothing new and I doubt that there will be any postponement because of that gash in Caleb's face.
3428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: September 24, 2021, 02:30:22 AM
The odds are now out. From FortuneJack, Terence Crawford is a heavy favorite at 1.19 and Shawn Porter the underdog at 4.83. Other bookmakers and betting platforms have yet to release their odds on this particular match.

I was somehow expecting this because Terence Crawford is the undefeated and obviously the better boxer between the two. But Shawn Porter is a good boxer that will give Crawford a hard time.

https://fortunejack.com/sportsbook?page=%2Fprematch%2Fhome%2Fevent%2F8711822

I guess the odds for Crawford is a bit overvalued, I still believe that although Porter is not anymore undefeated he has the skills to upset Crawford. I will definitely bet on Shawn Porter with that odds, and I don't mind losing it, probably a KO win also in less than 6 rounds if the odds is too attractive

One thing that these sport bookies are basing are the W-L column, and obviously Crawford hasn't lost in his career, hence the very high and overvalued odds. Porter lost are all very closed and it's against top caliber opponents. One thing that Porter has is his no nonsense attitude and regardless who he is facing, he can pull an upset because of his very aggressive and suffocating style. He throws a lot of punches that might give him an edge against Crawford.
3429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 24, 2021, 02:04:34 AM
What keeps me watching is to see how far the next gen players get and if they can overcome the
top 3, like Medvedev did in the U.S open, thats interesting.

I also like the womens side too, its very open with a lot of contenders for titles.
Look at the U.S open this year, 2 names which made the womens side very exciting
playing a really entertaining brand of tennis, Raducanu and Fernandez.
In men, we can say we will have some tough competition between top ranked players like Medvedev Tsitsipas and Zverve but in women side we have some very quick changes because on this side after few top ranked players like Steffi Graf Monica Sales and Martina Hinges only lady with good record in William after her, we have nothing consistent because many are facing some different type issues so here we will not able to have some world-class lady who can stay for long time but again on men side we will be able to have two or three players will stay for very long time on court for their good game.

Women's side has always been very interesting to watch, specially now that we have two sensations, Raducanu and Fernandez. And there's no one dominating the game, as we can see there's always a different champion. Yeah, since Williams is no longer in her prime, there's no one that can replace her because so many ladies are upcoming, Osaka could be one, however, her game has deteriorated, there's no one that is consistent.

In the men's its hard to predict, you can also analyze base on the surface that they play. For instance Tsitsipas is known to be good on clay, so it's good to bet on him when he is playing his favorite surface.

neo is a project of much better quality. neo has been on the market for a long time in a very powerful way. I think now is the right time to buy a neo. Do you think now is the right time to buy a neo?

Right really sure about it, of course, we don't know what the future brings, maybe it will have a good price. But there are a lot of competitions already and it seems that NEO wasn't able to keep up with the trend. They are one of those who are supposedly the killer Ethereum coin, but so far it didn't do anything good as others have taken the torch, BSC, ADA, and others. So invest wisely and be smart, just saying.
3431  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on a recovery mode on: September 23, 2021, 06:19:17 AM
Today , In the utmost moment price was $42k which was lower than the previous day .Following the sharp sell-off on Tuesday where the bitcoin price drops with a 10% negative movement which sees the price of Bitcoin from above 52,000 to 46,000, which is a 10% sharp dropped, the entire crypto market has suffered from the crash in price. But as of Wednesday afternoon, the bitcoin market has shown some sign of recovery where the price is heading to 47k the highest since the crash . So it is more difficult to say BTC on a recovery mode .
Well Bitcoin has always go up and down and it is happen repeatedly so for me I don't think much about it's price on how it will recover or continue to drop down,I am always gathering some news or new development to be more updated, Some analysts say any short-term volatility in bitcoin price will ultimately be forgotten as the cryptocurrency rises to new all-time highs at the end of 2021. So I think bitcoin will soon recover before this year end.

That's why it's short term, because the effect is not going to last long. Just like what we've seen when the price dip to a level that is alarming, < $43,000. But it seems that a recovery is on the way, I'm seeing the price moving positive to $44,000.

As for the price at the end of the year, 6 digits is still the target, it might look gleam as this point because we are not even half of it. But a super fast rally around November-December might be enough to push the price to $100,000 so let's see.
3432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 23, 2021, 05:29:33 AM

Andy Murray has still got some zest left in him. He has fallen down to 116 in ranking after his surgery. But I think he is quite fit now and ready to take another tournament in his bag. He has won 3 grand slams and he should do pretty good in this one. I am a huge fan of this guy from the beginning. My wishes are with him.

I am also a fan of Murray and it's nice that he keeps on going and going, but I doubt he will ever win a tournament again. He can complete at a high level for 3-4 matches and that's about it; much more his body can't handle anymore.

Totally agree, while he might be fit he lacks the same level of speed and flexibility
that the top players have. He will certainly win matches but progressing to the latter
stages not to mention winning a major tournament is beyond his current capabilities.
He has done remarkably well to even compete ate the level he does after major surgery.

Yep. I think the 3-4 matches part is key. The reason he won't be likely to progress to the latter parts of a tournament is not so much that he can't compete against the best, it's more the toll it takes on his body having a succession of long matches in a short space of time. For example, to win a men's slam you need to win seven 5-set matches in a fortnight. Murray might be able to beat a top 10 player in a one-off game, but put him in a situation where he has to win 7x3=21 sets in two weeks, and it wouldn't be possible, even if every opponent was ranked outside the top 50.

Yeah, so he is one step already, after winning today, Murray will be facing Pospisil in the round of 16. So let's hope to see another good performance from him and win. It might be difficult as he progresses because of the tougher opponents. But this tournament is good to measure himself against the latter part of the tennis rankings. Hubert Hurkacz is the top seed followed by Carreno-Busta.

Yes this is the case, its obvious though that as Murray progresses the matches
will be tougher, his talent will carry him, he played some magic shots yesterday,
I said on a few occasions "oh yea, he still has it".

I have Carreno Busta and Sonego who is 5th seed against Rune.

Murray won again, vs Pospisil in two set, happy to see him progressing into this tournament and it's a good indication that maybe he is somewhat around 60%-70% of his old self. Nevertheless, still a long way to go for him to reach the semis or finals of this tournament. He will either face top seed Hubert Hurkacz, or Lucas Pouille in the quarterfinals.

Carreno-Busta won, however, Sonego was upset by Rune.

Betting odd is not available for now but it will be updated once it's out.
Also, the schedule and the venue are not yet final.

I was surprised. Just recently, Casimero apologizes to Donaire. Is that mean a sign that he just made his trashtalks for their fight to happen? But since change of plans, he apologized. Just my guess.

I'm not expecting the odds would be that gap. Gaballo is not a boxer anyone can consider as an underdog. I even think he will be the favorite.

But whatever the odds, won't bet for this match. I will rather enjoy this as an All-Filipino bout.

It's good to see that Casimero has issued an apology, maybe he realized. that it was completely wrong to talk like that to his fellow Filipino.

On the contrary, I'm expecting a huge gap in the odds. Gaballo doesn't have a good performance against Rodriguez and I would say that he is lucky to win, the decision was very controversial. There are boxing outlets that have Rodriguez winning by a huge margin.
3434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: September 22, 2021, 11:11:28 PM
The fight can still be made between Casimero and Inoue. That is if the champion Inoue are willing to pay for the sanction fee. Not sure how much it is or what they are going to base it (per percentage of the purse).

In any case, if they are not willing then we have to wait for the Casimero vs Inoue then. Hope that Casimero will win against his mandatory, I'm sure majority of us are not familiar with Butler. Not saying he is not good, of course we are going to favor Casimero in this fight.

It has already proven itself already right? So what else does it need to proved? Projects have been moving in their network and then we also have the upcoming projects using them. So it's already a successful one, the good thing is that they are many competitors around, so there's no more monopoly. As for the price in the market, still in the top 5, so solid and legit. What they have to do is to improved itself, because it's a competitive market out there, (ETH, SOL and ADA).
3436  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Price Prediction on: September 22, 2021, 03:17:34 AM
Present action is above levels that previously held us back such as 47.3k but I'm still waiting for BTC to outlast possible negative trends left 53k high seen this month.   We do have good momentum above 50 and 200 average but to really gain especially we have establish new volume at these higher prices which makes it still an ongoing situation I wont assume we must go higher.
  If dont seal the higher price range we'll repeat once again back to high 30's prices I think as thats the bulk of inertia for this year, it stopped us falling further in the early summer and will likely act similar now but first we speculate if we are to pull back right now or not.

We are already in a pull back, the average and support of $43k has been broken, hence the price even goes down deep to $41,000. I don't like what I'm seeing because it's a bearish signal in short term. I wouldn't be surprised to see the price still going deep within this month. The volume indicator is very low for a reversal pattern to occur. Again, this bearish signal is only for short term, at least this month, so October might bring a new set of pattern, or a break out run to at least $50,000.
3437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 22, 2021, 02:42:56 AM
I've watched a live stream interview between Casimero and Donaire and it seems the two fighters are still entertaining to have a match on the interview Casimero wants Donaire to send the contract to him and he will read and if he will sign it if he approves of the contract, there's uncertainty on the Inoue Casimero match there are negotiations but nothing concrete has come out yet because Casimero still entertain and is very open to fight Donaire, unfortunately just this day WBC ordered Donaire to take on Graballo as his mandatory challenger.

That's good if Donaire will give Casimero a fight, we all know that they've supposed to face each other but Donaire doesn't want to push through anymore. And if this is a recent live stream, then maybe Donaire has a change of heart since Casimero's name suddenly pop up to be the next fighter that is going to face Inoue itself of himself. So maybe Donaire wanted to prove that he is more deserving to face Inoue rather than Casimero that's why he wanted Casimero now. So let's see how everything unfolds between the three best fighter in this weight class.

So it is strange to see this report and then pointing out the main reason is because of the covid-19 restrictions. Gambling addiction affects everyone even women. It can be seen as form of entertainment, but just the same, you can fall for it if you can't control yourself, rich and poor, they have the same chance of being a gambling addict.

I've heard that Casimero is looking for some additional trainers on his team. But he wants a younger one.

Well in fact that the old timers are better trainers because they have a lot to share because of their experiences.

I don't hear that rumor yet but I heard the issue about getting Freddie Roach, just in case. Casimero doesn't like the idea because Roach is a foreigner and hard to speak English. Harsh lol. That comment made some netizens angered as he don't show any respect to Freddie Roach.

Nonito Donaire also expresses his frustration about Casimero's statement.

Now the question, it's still part of marketing to hype his name for the upcoming fight with Inoue?

That's weird, I mean Casimero has been very successful with his trainers, so why change in the biggest fight of his career. Maybe not trainer per se, but maybe some strength and conditioning coach to help him to be in better shape and to add more speed and power. Not anything against Roach, but I think he is old already, not sure if he can still be effective as a trainer for John Riel.
