Sometimes the punishment is really a problem, on some countries, when someone caught cheating in sports, a cheater will just be fine on or ban, there's no criminal liability, if that punishment will be serious, then I guess these violators will think twice before doing it.
That's right, the punishment for some countries don't have the teeth and they're just going to pay the fine and they're going to render the days that's punished to them upon suspension. Those punishments are easy to take because they're just going to pay and if their suspended, they'll just go into training and they're going to be back soon. Maybe the cases is not so rampant yet, but the moment they see that it's been widely abuse, then probably they will amend the rules to put a more serious punishment on anyone who violate the law particularly the "game fixing" which could involve big money especially if its a big market in bookies. |

If the fight had lasted until the last round I have no doubts that Manny would have won as he was in a way better physical shape than Marquez before he received that punch, but we know that in boxing anything can happen which is why it is so exciting to watch, but I will still argue that it was not a lucky punch, there is simply too much evidence against that idea, Marquez was able to even KO his sparrings while training that punch so to me it was a strategy that he used to lure Manny in and deliver a fantastic KO.
It wasnt really a lucky punch and its just an excuse or some reasoning that it was indeed a fluke but its not because Marquez wont really be reaching out his reputation,fame and popularity if he doesnt have its own weapon or something up into his sleeve then he wont go that far into his boxing career. Okay lets move on about those past fights and stick into this exhibition which is no doubt that performance will be entirely different compared when they are still into their prime. Im not expecting that much that they would really be giving out their best on knocking out each other. OK lets move on, this exhibition fight is going to be really interesting as it is a fight between two former world champions that are not so far away from their retirement, the only thing I am worried is about Cotto, he is a good fighter but when he fought Margarito he suffered a lot of damage due to Margarito cheating with loaded gloves and that is the kind of damage that does not go away so I hope he is not putting his quality of life at risk by accepting this fight. Forget about that Margarito fight, he knows he got cheated and he avenge his loss by beating Margarito in their rematch 3 years after he loss, there's no damage anymore on him, he is retired happy and the good news is that he is coming back for an exhibition fight. |

Today the market crashes again BTC drop down to 48k and back to 50k im not sure bull run is over and change to bear or not.
but we need to careful
i think this is only a quick profit taking actions from the whales mate,, so, we don't have to be worry, i'm sure the bulls still stay with us The bulls will stay but we never know when it will be gone, per history of the crypto market, bulls does not stay for a longer period of time, it stays in a limited time and then back again after a year or years. So this could probably a start of the bear as the price is still at $50k, it has not fully recovered to $60k yet, so we should be wary a bit on it. |

of the top 5 cryptocurrency on coinmarketcap, then we will see that only the price of XRP has not risen very high and reached the new ATH price, because ATH price of XRP is $3.84 on Jan 04, 2018 (3 years ago), so I am sure if now is the right time to buy XRP, because I think the price of XRP will increase very high and create a new ATH price (such as BTC, ETH and BNB), then of course you will get a big profit from investing in XRP at this time.
I will never say it is not nor to say that it was the right time. Because in the sense that nobody has the right to dictate what you should have to do if it is against your well. If you trust and believe that XRP will give you a return, why not? It was you who make a decision, not us. But there is one thing that I could say, make sure that you are ready to accept what will happen later. I'd never say you surely in regrets but just only you need to prepared for it as a part of the investment. |

This is a game 2 of the WCF Finals. LMAO... I'm just curious why Lakers are now the underdog.. will Gobert and Mitchell be back in the line up already, or Lakers have more players that willl not play due to injury? Gobert, Favors and Conley well rested but it looks like Mitchell is not available yet. His right ankle sprained, he might miss more games. Anthony Davis is still out, I don't know about other missing players in Lakers. I'm expecting a good performance from Ersan again, hope his playing time won't be too lowered when Gobert is back. It make sense that Jazz is now the favorites because Gobert and Conley is back again. Hopefully Dennis Schroder will play in this game, otherwise, it will be a complete domination by the Jazz. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/2067702/dennis-schroderper update, he is likely to play but not sure if he will really play. |

Information has been received from the bounty manager that all tokens for the bounty company must be paid by April 23rd, I do not know whether this is true or not, but it remains to wait a few days and we will see whether it is true or not, and of course it is not clear why Amepay developers have not paid bounty tokens to bounty hunters already long time, I hope that by April 23rd all bounty hunters will receive their promised tokens, but if not, then the bounty manager said that he would start to act, but I not think this will help a lot...
Well, you guys just wait at the stated date, they gave an exact date, and if they'll not follow it, that would mean they have no intention on paying the bounty hunters. Bounty manager here are just relaying the plan of the team, it's actually the team who will make the decision. |

Bear market? When?
Maybe I missed something or it is a different market that I look a few hours ago because what I saw is not bearish that OP had mentioned. Because if we look into the market status by now, we are still in the bullish market. Kinda be different when talking about the bear season and I literally understand that all crypto prices went down which is far different from what I saw now.
Well, I think we are just so excited. But don't worry, it will surely arrive soon, just be patient.

Elon Musk is done and whose next?
I'm not sure if the community still has the interest to follow his tweets, promotions, and FUDs. A lot of people got fooled by him, usually, newcomers think that Elon is serious about crypto but where is he now. Doge, Bitcoin, and what else?
That he just manipulates the young minds and laugh.
But anyway, the hypes that he made in the past days gives also the benefits for the early adopters but quite regretting the late investors. These people have been caught by the trap.

Alt season is thriving so much this month. I am missing out for reals. Been trading all year and finally stop this month lol. I took a break n did other hobbies. Like mining.. must have missed out and I waited 4 yrs for this event if u call it that.. still got like 6 months left.. imo .. my real alt bag is ethereum though.. waiting for like 200% gains.. if its truly here lol.. if not this 6 months then a brutal 4 yr bear market again.. history often repeats itself and often rhymes too.
I really don't think so, as long as the market isn't showing a decline that might be the next month/s will be the alt season as well. Nevertheless, the situation will be changing from time to time. We can't tell that the market will keep on rising nor it dumps by tomorrow, nothing we sure about in the future. So if you can see that your portfolio is growing and profiting better to take this opportunity and sell some of it. As you have said, history repeats itself, I can't forget what happens last 2018. |

As I remembered from the previous years, Pacquiao is about to retired and end his boxing career due to his mom Mommy Dionisia is worried every time he is in the boxing ring. Well I guess it is just a rumor. For me at Pacquiao's age, he already made a good name and a good career. He already earned a lot of money. I think he is around 40 plus on the present time and I think he already did a good job. Health is very important. Every punch that he may received especially in his head is not good. Instead of pushing that fight, maybe it is better to focus on serving Filipino being a senator or being a President if he will win if he run on the next election. Being his fellow Filipino I am just concern on his health but I know I am not in a position to say this.
Pacquaio tried really hard to get a rematch with Floyd, but unfortunately for him that never materialized. After that he really tried hard for a match at Las Vegas with a decent opponent, but that too is in doubt given the pandemic situation. He knows that he has less than 12 months of career remaining and that's the reason why he is not very keen on the fight with Terence Crawford. He wants to fight a stronger opponent at Las Vegas, rather than taking on Crawford in middle east. Less than 12 months? for what? does Manny announce that he will retire soon? I think he can still fight even at 50 years old as long as he is willing and winning. This fight is necessary for him, actually he already loss his belt because he did not have a fight, but that's alright because its due to pandemic and no one would choose fame or money over security. |

My concern is how often are riggers caught really. Unless they make obvious mistakes, it is very difficult to tell if a player, for example, missed a shot intentionally. It is just not impossible that a player underperforms in a game just because he has a bad day and even if you are suspicious it is very difficult to prove. Soccer is even more difficult in that aspect. Are these blunders? They could be on-purpose.
But on that particular video or game, even if you are thinking that they are not trying to fix the game, it will cross your mind because it is so obvious, it will make you think, why a player that tall with very near the basket will still not convert the shot and on one occasion a player driving to the basket intentionally miss it, it's not that they are having a bad day, even if a player is not in a good condition he can convert a layup because there is no opposition to block him. Actually sports rigging is really happening, not only in the Philippines, this one is just so obvious, they brought the rigging into the next level that anyone watching the game would notice. They did not even benfit from this fight because AFAIK, the game was stopped. |

There's still a good news on that injury. https://www.nbcsports.com/edge/basketball/nba/player/29277/kevin-durantThe good news is that the initial diagnosis of a bruise suggests KD avoided any major damage, and for now we'll assume he's day-to-day. Jeff Green and Alize Johnson should benefit if KD is forced to miss time, with more PF minutes also available for Blake Griffin I hope he can come back in the playoffs healthy and strong, injury has been the problem of the Nets but Durant is consistent this year. Good news that it's not a major injury for him. So this is going to give us fans an expectation that he's going to be back anytime soon. They should put him at rest until major games comes to them and he's really needed to play for the team. Maybe fans are just a bit frustrated because tehy were thinking that Durant will not be injured again, but things happen, once a player came from a major injury, usually they become so fragile and this is what happen with Durant, hopefully he can win this problem both physically and mentality. There's no update yet on how long he'll rest, but I believe it might take a while. |

Oasisman, is there a possibility that the players (at least some of them) were infected with Covid-19, are there any pre-match tests? If they weren't sick, then this is more than an obvious set-up, and considering how hard they tried to miss clear opportunities, it seems to me that the goal was to finish the game with as few points as possible.
It’s just not clear to me how professional players ever agree to do something like this because they put their whole career at stake - and no one can not get rich from one game. However, I would add that sometimes players are blackmailed into playing badly or doing a specific thing in a game (get a red card in football) - and if someone kidnaps a family member, I believe most players would do anything to bring him back.
This is why there needs to be an investigation about this, if they were sick then this could explain their bad performance, and if it was the case that some of the family members of the players were kidnapped or there was the threat of physical harm against them and their family then it is understandable why this happened, however if an investigation finds out that the players were bribed and that they accepted it then they need to be banned for live from the sport. It's still unacceptable to rig the game due to their personal problem, they have had reported it to the authorities so they will be help, not putting the reputation of the game in a bad line, just unacceptable. I'm sure the investigation is already on going, so let's just wait for the result and speculate less. |

This match really upset many of my friend that bet on Jazz that time. Drummond miraculously show a very strong game which is sufficient to shutdown a strong team like Jazz. Actually I was surprised too that Lakers perform that well without there Aces. Ggwp to the betlords who bet on the underdog Lakers that time.  Jazz is really playing like a proper team, they are really good, with everyone on the floor they are going to be a huge threat in the NBA for sure. However I feel like it is not the league for teams anymore, it is the league for superstars. I mean look at teams, with Nets having so many, Lakers having 2, Clippers having 2, Bucks having an amazing one, Nuggets have Jokic (and had Murray), it is really looking weird. Look at Suns, they "look" great right? Anyone even doubts that they won't win it this year? I mean it is obvious that they are not going to win it this year, and yet they won so many games. Which is why regular season matters but not as much as people imagine it is, obviously most of the time best team becomes the first team, but that is not required, I remember plenty of times Lebrons teams finished under first seed and still went to finals all the time. Jazz are underrated, but the moment they won an NBA Finals, that would make this team so special. If you remember the journey of the Warriors before, during the time of Curry, Thompson, Green and other role players, you would not think they are a superteam until they won a championship, so for the Jazz, I'll give them a chance to prove because they are playing with a great team work like the Warriors did during their glory days. |

I read your thread and I read your notes. But unfortunately, I was also unemployed in the past and then made gambling a source of income and that's fine because I don't owe money to gamble. But even though sometimes I owe money to gamble, fortunately I always return it sooner so that it exceeds the refund and that is a fortune for me. But yes, one of the most important things is not to go into debt to gamble as that will only make you more stressed. In addition, the most important thing for the gambler to be responsible is, when you lose you don't involve or take your anger out on close people and other valuables.
That's so hard to consider gambling as a source of income if you are unemployed, I mean the risk is really high unless you are really good in gambling. I can't do that honestly, I'm not good enough in gambling and though I gamble, I make sure I have a stable source of income like a job or a business, but lucky for you that you were able to make money from it. |

- If everyone expects btc to top $100k in this bull market then from my calculations if bitcoin is doing this every $10k leg up predictable pattern that is every $10k leg up for btc then it goes sideways for a month or so then we have remaining 3-4 alt seasons left in this year before everything crashes into the new following bear market right?
It is possible, and that seems not hopeless as the market shows some indication that Bitcoin price will reach that amount. The only problem is that we never know when. Well, patience is a virtue, and those who believe that are willing to wait. Anyway, we are not sure what could be the trend to follow. We can't simply ignore the possible dumps and pumps along with the market FOMO and FUDs. With all these circumstances, we cannot expect that the market will seem to be the same as before but rather to expect differently. |

$20k, $10k, I don't know, I mean we're not sure how much it dumps if there is a bearish season again.
I was not thinking that thing this time, I was focused on the surge, the bullish season that we enjoyed for almost a year. I only think about market corrections but not seeing a huge drop to happens just like we experience in the past years(2018-2019).
If the market sustains this demand streak that we have now, bearish seems going to be impossible, I mean that only be a few chances.

That be a question but we are so thankful that Bitcoin is having like that. Its market cap could be a huge factor but is just like the demand is stabilizing which helps to maintain the growth gap and not like altcoins just shot up in one day and then it dumps drastically in the other day. I can imagine that people will suffer losses if that scenario will happen.
This is the reason why people, the majority choose Bitcoin out from altcoins as they are not worried so much that they will instantly lose their money for one day. They are not chasing about x50, x100 profit but they are securing the security of their fund and contented enough to make few dollars.

While BNB appeals to the wider crypto users because the binance smartchain currently seem to have overcome the biggest issue that most cryptocurrency users have with bitcoin ethereum and the ERC 20 blockchain tokens. This problem is the speed of transaction and and the cost of transactions.
This is a problem that BSC currently solves, and while a lot of people might argue that BNB is not a fully decentralized coin, i think it is worth noting that a lot of users dont care much for how decentralized a coin or token is, they just want the solutions they it offers.
This is why i think BNB an the BSC will remain very valuable in years to come
That totally depends on the market and the project owner as well. If the developers will keep their promises to the investors, that we can expect the value of BNB will still be growing. And as long as the crypto market is still active and growing, definitely there is a big chance for that. We don't have a 100% assurance for this but seem to be looking positive base on what we have seen this time and since its launching. |

Already mentioned here that Btc is for holders. Now it seems that there can be seen a bounce back above $61k level. But if not happened, then we may see it at $56k-$57k expected. But it looks bullish and expecting a pump soon. Institutional investment can be made. The market will decide everything.
The market and the investors decide everything. It lies now in the hands of investors but as their numbers are growing, it gives us the confidence that Bitcoin will even be more valuable in the future than today. And with that instances( if ever), buying now at the hypes could still give us the profit as well if the value of Bitcoin might be reaching $100k in the next 5 years. Not really seems impossible but the problem is we are definitely not 100% about it. I'm just looking for those instances. |
