Why are there some players that have a number in them while the other don't? Just a curious question, really interested with Wimbledon even though tennis is far from popular in my country. Also, why are some of the famous players aren't participating in this tournament?

Those are players rank, so if you see, (1) Novak Djokovic is currently rank number 1 in this tournament and is the current number 1 player in tennis.

Djokovic has a clear path here and his chance to win the Wimbledon is high. Although the sentimental favourite here is Federer, but I doubt that he can reach the semis.

Almost all of the top players are participating here, this is a major grand slam tournament. If you don't see your favourite players, it's either they didn't enter because they are injured or they have been eliminated in the early rounds like Tsitsipas.

^^ He will be facing Sonego next, which is more of a clay surface player. So I think that Federer can get past him but it could be in 4 or even 5 setter here. He is still the favourite to win, and I'm looking at the O/U and probably will bet later on other events.

Djokovic vs Garin (-9.5) Djokovic @1.87, what can you say @Trofo - can he cover it?

I see a lot of issues circulating on social media about the fall of bitcoin, some think this is a big investor control, some think this is a factor influencing negative issues, so bitcoin plummets.

It's all speculation, we can't pinpoint the exact reason, so it could be a combination of Elon Musk attack and then the China FUD.

what do you think about this, so we can all fix it?
if bitcoin falls because of negative issues, let's get rid of those issues, so that bitcoin bounces back.

No one can fix it, let the issues slide normally and let the investors gain their confidence back onto bitcoin. If you have been in crypto space for many years, you are familiar that this kind of trend are going to happen no matter what specially if we have FUD and negative news coming around.

Ok I did a 5 bet parlay in tonights matches just to have some fun

Djokovic + Baustista-Agut + Schwartzman + Christian Garin + Rublev  = @4.02.

It's all ML, hopefully those players are going to win, Djokovic might be a sure win as the odds is 1.01, Lol. The highest is Diego Schwartzman @1.85, although Diego has been playing very bad in the last couple of tournaments, it might be different in grass though.

Parlay is way too risky because if you only make one mistake in your prediction, then you will lose this bet and this is unfortunately what happened with you. If you had placed 5 separate bets, then you would have won four out of five bets.

But the odds for a single bet is very low, like for Djokovic to win, the odds are @1.01.

So it's better (at least for me) to bet on a parlay and make a risk. It only makes watching the game more exciting for me. So I guess everyone has it's own taste on their betting, maybe others wanted to bet on something with small single odds or not bet at all. While there could be "gamblers", willing to take big risk on a parlay.

@Saint-loup - good win mate.

Everyone is counting on $100k, so it will probably happen!
Just because everyone thinks about it doesn't mean that the thought will translate into a reality, remember that we haven't even broke the 70k resistance and we are on a long way to go from doing that with the prices half the ATH right now. Now I'm not saying that it won't happen but it will probably take a long time for it to happen and if it happens much faster than I expected then I will happily eat the words that I have said about the prices not being able to go up to 100k USD in such a short time.

$100k is the next potential target, but it's not going to be an easy road. If just companies will continue to used bitcoin in their balance sheet, then maybe we can see it. But it seems that we haven't heard anything in the last two months. And then we have a lot of FUD or at least the news coming from China that bitcoin mining is going to be stop or ban.

So it might take some time before we can see a good jump, hopefully in the last quarter, at least $50k could be achieved.

I am so amazed at the team play of the Bucks this is why they are the fan favorite, but if Trae Young would play on game 6 this could be back for the Milwaukee Bucks the team coordination and play for the Hawks will surely change, I think because of the homecourt advantage this is a good time to bet for the Hawks.

That's the only reason why the Hawks would win, betting odds will not lie, they may come out as a slight underdog in the end but we can't deny they are dangerous at home and might adjust to win game 6. I just have a feeling that we will this series down to the wire, and in game 7, it will be anybody's ball game.

It is the deciding factor on who's on the advantage on game 7 but there is a high possibility for Hawks winning on game 6 and right the betting odds does not lie, the Hawks will do anything to win this and if Trae Young could definitely play this game the Hawks will have a bigger advantage on winning,

I agree, sport bookies knows a thing or two, they wouldn't make Hawks the favourite now. Trae Young could play in this game.

But right now the status of Trae Young playing for game 6 is still doubtful, but I think the Atlanta Hawks already have a plan in winning this game, I should say that tandem on Holiday to Lopez is a big obstacle for the Hawks that needs to obliterate.

He might be doubtful, but still more than 12 hours to decide whether it's a go or no go. In any case, the game will be in their homecourt, and the last time they play, they won and blasted the Bucks even with Giannis is present on the game. They played very tight defense. So not sure if Lopez can duplicate his performance. So let's see.
3427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 03, 2021, 08:42:18 AM
Giannis might not be able to come back in this series, of if he will, he would not force in game 6 as they are on the lead, it will be game 7 I guess.
However, I think it's Trae Young that will likely to come back, not Giannis.
It looks like you're right because there are rumors that Trae Young's status is questionable for the upcoming game. So it means that he probably will be able to play. Regarding Antetokoumpo, he most likely will miss game 6 because his status is the same as before game 5.

Not good to see both stars are down since we cannot see them doing some good action towards this games but its good for their other players to show how good they are even if there main stars are out in the game. But let see who's gonna face the suns in the finals.

Latest report is that Trae Young is still questionable going into game 6.

However, I'm not discounting the fact that maybe in the last minutes, he will suited up for the game to starve out elimination. Even Clint Capella is questionable when he got a hit on the face in game 5.

It also also noted, that since we have talk about Lopez performance, they outscored the Hawks by 30 points in the paint. That's huge, so they dominated the Hawks inside.

It seems that garin and rublev are going to win and djokovic seems to be a sure win since kudla is not doing that great in this tournament but shwartzman and bautista agut seem like tricky games but shwartzman have potential and he is a pretty good player.

Schwartzman is down 1-2, don't want to jinx his beat, but this is the match that could potentially ruin his parlay, Djokovic is leading 2-0, and for sure he will win this match. Not unless Schwartzman comes back from 1-2 deficit and win, then congrats, Márton Fucsovics is really playing pretty solid as this ppint, scored 3-3 in the third set.

It's ok mate, part of the game, got 4 out 5 except for the Schwartzman lost. He went 0-2 then fight back in the third set and force a tie break and won. Then in the fourth 3-3 he has the potential to take the lead but he lost the next 2 games and I said it was over for my bet.

I know that I mentioned Schwartzman to be playing very bad, but I. thought he can get a win against Fucsovics, I guess I should have listen to my guts.

Not betting today today, tough matches to bet.

We doubt the Hawks would win in game 4, but they did win and even dominated the game, there's plenty of surprises in the playoffs and we might see that surprise again tonight which is actually not a big surprise since the Bucks are still the favorites even without Giannis. If you believe in the Bucks, you'll bet on them now since they have the advantage to be playing at home, if they loss, then call it a "series over".

I have gotten surprised by Bucks winning they can surely play with or without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the tandem of Jrue Holiday to Brook Lopez is pretty effective, they have surely set the court on fire while playing, The Hype for the Bucks is not wrong Jrue Holiday giving 25 pts and 13 assists while Brook Holiday with 33 pts and Khris Middleton with 26 pts Middleton is saying the truth that they will really win in-game 5 and right now stake.com have switch the odds Hawks now have 1.72 to 2.18 for the Bucks, and they are playing on Hawks court now.

Yeah, Hawks are now the favourite to win this Sunday, it might have been that it is going to be played on their homecourt and Trae Young will play in that game because it's a must win situation for them. In the last game without Trae though, they have dominated the Bucks, staring Lou Williams. But if Trae played and Giannis is out, then obviously that is the reason for the shift on the odds.

Well, It seems that this way the teams were more balanced and as incredible as it may seem, in my opinion I even believe the Bucks played better without Giannis in Game 5 than with him in Game 4. By the way, Portis played very well, he surprised me a lot.

He is, it's not actually that surprising. It's just that they didn't give him quality minutes once he heats up. But, every time they used him to rest Giannis he can score and make the fans go wild. Crazy Eyes!  Grin
Hawks is hurt more when it comes to injuries. Trae is a big part of their team for the play to work while Giannis can do isolation games only. Then, there's Bogdanovic's knee injury that slows him down.
Bucks may finish this at Atlanta if they can't find a way to counter-attack.

It will be back to what they did on game 4, Lou Williams not to start hot, wonder though Collins performance is somewhat on a slump. Doesn't get that much touch and his athleticism is not present. Not sure if he is injured or not comfortable because Trae Young is not present. Usually Trae give him good pass, hopefully he can go back so that the chances of Atlanta to tie again the series at their back yard. We understand Bogdanovic's shooting slump as he has some injury.
3432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: July 02, 2021, 08:31:10 AM
Donaire failed to handle it professionally,  this is supposed to be a big fight, it's still a unification of belts and both boxers have supported from their fans.

There is still roughly a month to fixed those things. Nonito Donaire might be just be carried away with his emotions.

Let's give them several weeks. Casimero's camp is silent and just releasing few statements, meaning they admit there's a mistake on their part.

The issue will be settled and I know Casimero's camp or others else are doing something behind the camera for the fight to be possibly continued.

Yes, he is obviously very emotional about everything specially how Casimero or someone in his camp is disrespecting his family. I think Donaire wanted to teach Casimero a big lesson here, I assumed that this is the biggest pay check for Casimero and since the fight is off for now, he need to look for other fight but I don't think that he will get as close as what he is getting on the Donaire fight. And Nonito because of the disrespect, will not get Casimero this chance to earn huge money.

I remember Oscar Dela Hoya vs Mayorga calls Oscar everything he can, including "Maricon", "Payaso" and even says that he is not embrace by the Latinos and worst he also attacks his wife (just like what the camp of Casimero did here.)

Dela Hoya used this as motivation and then knock out Mayorga out. Donaire should have at least learn from this promotion.
3433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: July 01, 2021, 01:12:55 PM

If this fight will be cancelled then for sure there is only one reason and that is they did not meet the attraction they want and lures no support from the boxing community.

This fight will gain attraction, the reason was very clear, Donaire cools off the fight because he believes he and his family got disrespected.

Now, there's a lot of challenge on Donaire, even Rigo challenge him, and said no trash talk, just pure fight.
Both Rigo and Inoue beat him, I think he will not win in a rematch, he just wants more money here.
There could be people who don't understand Nonito for walking about from this fight, but he has to stand his ground and protect his family and that's what's important to him. Besides, he still has the name that can bring any fighter including Inoue. So he potential for a unification bout is still there (minus Casimero's belt). It was a tactical fight on the Rigo bout, if I'm not mistaken, Rigo went down, but he is ahead on the judges scorecard that's why he won.

That's  his stand and we must respect it since we have different outlook about on certain situations. And if I am Donaire I will do the same since our family  is outside on this event so casimero shouldn't attack them since its really unprofessional.

But we don't know what's in mind of Casimero since maybe this is just part of marketing on his side and I still want this  fight to happen.

Casimero is always like that, so brandish and boastful but if Donaire gets offended because they involved his family, then we must respect his decision not to pursue the fight with his fellow Pinoy.

Now what options are open for Donaire, right, he might straight go at Inoue. He has the belt and the champion and based on his last fight, he can still throw and some speed in it. I do hope that Bob Arum can make the fight happen at the end of the year. Casimero will have to make his own path if he wants to fight Inoue.

Good to hear that Andy Murray won in the second round against Otte. It's a five setter, so it's gruelling match for him. He will be facing now a tough opponent on Shapovalov, so not sure if he can muster enough energy to win again.

Lots of good match in the third round, maybe it's time to bet and do some parlay betting here. Start with Djokovic and then with Rublev vs Fognini + Shapovalov.

I am glad that Murray won the second round, but the third round will be his end station. Shapovalov, the nr 10 seed, should win this and will probably do it in 3 sets.

This afternoon Federer will play his second round against Gasquet, I hope Federer will win but he needs to step up his game. In his first round against Mannarino, he made a lot of unforced errors.

Yes, as tennis fans, we're happy to see Murray playing good tennis and moving on the third round. But the odds of him going into the next is high, and I agree that Shapovalov might end his short winning streak here.

Gasquet is a tough player, but I think he is more of a clay court player. But it can still be close as Djokovic is no longer in his prime (just my opinion), he is slower and now making a lot of mistakes even in his favourite surface.

Did you watch Djokovices last match against Anderson at all? Djokovic o most made no mistakes in the entire match dominated like he is in his prime. He wa struggling only first set against Draper then nailed him after that. Then took 4 breaks against Anderson who has one of the best servs in this sport

My mistake, what I meant is Federer and not Djokovic.

But if you also look at the schedule, it's Federer vs Gasquet next and not Djokovic. So I guess you should get a hint that I made an honest mistake here.

Well as a gambler, I have used dogecoin in the past as deposit to gambling sites. Other than that, Dogecoin, is just a meme coin and still it is considered as like that even though we have seen in being pump by Elon Musk and speculators riding on the popularity to make money out of those noobs.

One thing that Doge has advantage is that it is quite fast, that's why many traders and gamblers are still using it at this point.

I agree, at least Germany being one of the leading crypto friendly in Europe are still at it, even though some of its neighbouring countries are against bitcoin. 20% is a good ball park number to start it, at least they can adjust depending on the market sentiments and how their investors are willing to invest in a volatile market. So welcoming news indeed, and just like what we wanted, hope that some governments in Europe follow as well. It's a win-win situation anyways, so they might as well dig their hands on the cookie jar.
3438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Estrada vs Gonzalez Trilogy - Oct 16 on: June 30, 2021, 03:50:27 PM
Estrada will be the slight favorite going into this fight based on the strength that he beat Gonzalez last time. But it doesn't mean that he will have the advantage in the trilogy. For me it was Gonzalez who won the second fight, but the judges saw otherwise. So the same here, I will bet on Gonzalez by decision, could be unanimous.
That's if that will be the same for the third fight, if Gonzalez knows that he will have a hard time in the UD, I think that going aggressive this time will be much better and aiming for a KO would be the goal at the least. Regarding Estrada, I think that he will probably take it easy on this fight and try to do the same performance last time because if the formula works, he will probably do it again.
Maybe there's no adjustments in the third fight, they will start swinging at it again. Both are going to be aggressive. In the last fight, Gonzalez started being the aggressor so the first half belongs to him. Not sure if he gets tired, because it was Estrada's turn in the second half and that's what the judges saw. But it's a controversial decision as majority saw Gonzalez winning because of his aggressiveness early.
They, specially Roman Gonazalez, can't just go there and used his previous strategy because obviously he has lost. Maybe he needs to improve his stamina a bit or really look at Estrada's flaw that he can take advantage of. Just keep the phase and try to outdo the volume puncher in Estrada, but try to hit cleanly to impressed the judge so that in close quarters, he will get the nod and take the W.
3439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: June 30, 2021, 11:13:57 AM
For me, Alexander Zverev is also a contender for the title alongside Djokovic. Many games have already been interrupted, is it raining in London right now?
What you mean right now, it is always raining in London  Grin Sorry, had to write it since I really hate those rain delays. At least they have one stadium with roof so one match is always going on.

Zverev is my pick for the final from that part of draw. Tsitsipas loss did not surprise me much, he was never good on grass and Tiafoe is good player when in form.

Well Zverev is one of the main favorites for the semi final and final. Dominated today while all the other favorites struggled a lot. Federer could have lost in the first round if Mannarino didnt get injured in this match and had to retire. Federer wont make it long,his time is up

I do hope the Zverev can reach as far as semi-finals. I agree that Tsitsipas was not a surprised, it's not that he is not mentally prepared, grass is not his favourite.

Nick Kyrgios vs Humbert match is suspended tied 2-2 and tied 3-3 on the fifth set. Interesting what will be the outcome of this match. Kyrgios has been out of the limelight for sometime and if I'm not mistaken this is his comeback tournament.
3440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 30, 2021, 09:54:30 AM
yea that was really scary. it's like a PVC pipe, and it will hurt because of the joint, I just hope that there is no damage, because if there is, that will be a long time to heal, the last thing you want to see , is someone who gets injured, its not Capella's fault also, that is just pure accident, that no one wan'ts to happen,.
I still don't see any news regarding his status for the upcoming game 5, but I guess he has a severe knee sprain. If so, then it looks like the Bucks will miss another opportunity to reach the final due to Giannis' injury as it was in the previous playoff.
If no Trae Young next game, so it just evens it out, as both superstar as out with an injury. Hope though that Giannis can recover quickly, this opportunity may not come again.

Maybe tomorrow we will see some news, give it like 24 hours, I'm sure they are doing everything to get him at least play. Nice adjustments on the side of the Hawks, just like the Clippers, they are in a must win situation so they did everything perfect and ties the series.
