Like all of us here, I'm also excited to watch PBA. On the other hand though, SMC teams got stronger but did MVP teams got stronger too and can they compete with the SMC teams with their current rosters?? Hmmm.

With the arrival of coach Chot Reyes, TNT for sure will improved this coming season and i think this gonna be the start of rebuilding on this team. Whatever the shortcomings after the season i think they will focus on that one to improve.

On the other hand, SMC teams, specifically the Ginebra Kings will not be the automatic champion with the arrival of CStand. Remember when he was drafted by SMB, all of us thought that other teams were only competing for the second place as majority of us think that SMB is the automatic champion as the Fajardo-Standhardinger tandem is so strong on paper but it did not convert on the court.



I hope Chot Reyes will be successful in coaching the team on his return, it's the new players that he will be dealing with, not totally new because they have some veterans playing for the team but hopefully the team also will be able to adjust as for sure, under a new coach, another style will also be introduce.

That's a good one man, we are just thinking there that Casimero would easily win this fight but the whole world thinks it's gonna be a close fight and it's hard to decide on who we will think will win. I say it's 50/50 but of course, we support what's ours and we should not be surprised that Casimero is leading the poll in our thread.

By the way for those who are looking at how to watch this, you can see the info on this site. https://www.premierboxingchampions.com/rigondeaux-vs-casimero

it's available on showtime live stream, I'm not sure it's televised free in the Philippines since it's a big fight.

What team do you think will get the rank 7 and 8 in the west guys?

Tomorrow, we are going to witness the game of the Hornets vs Pacers and Wizards vs Celtics.
I'm excited, I'm already feeling like it's a playoff though it's still a play-in tournament.
3484  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Trust this type Offer on: May 15, 2021, 09:50:50 PM
it is pure scam or ponzi i was ever stuck in the same condition. the difference is that the site uses USDT for investment, I get 3% profit per week and pay for 3 months with a 1 year contract agreement. but in the 4th month the site could not be accessed and finally a scam, I lost my assets so far. so beware

Knowing what reputation yobit had, for sure many people and investors are already aware,

that this kind of offer may lead them to lose their money. Better to invest with something that you are aware with, not just aiming for quick profits but for long-term investment. Keep your distance and if ever you received this messages better to stay away and never to take any chances to invest your money.
Lots of people specially the old ones does already know on whats the reputation of Yobit when it comes to its service that it gives and its no surprise that there are several people who do

really easily get hooked with too good to be true returns or dividends or whatever offer that they gave out.If i were to say then its not really that ideal for you to
make use of this shady exchange.

We should really be mindful when it comes our money to be invested.Dont get easily hooked up just because of better return.
When you see offers that are too good to be true, its already a sign of scam. Do not fall easily with these kind of tricks because even if Yobit exhange are really sending that emails, it should not be given high consideration otherwise, you will lose all your invested coins. I'm not against with Yobit knowing its present status but we should be more cautious when depositing with our hard earned investments.

So it's 7-0 in favour of Casimero. Definitely it seems that we see him as favoured to win against Rigo.

And boxing fans is really looking for the Casimero vs Inoue fight. And I think Casimero is really 'dreaming' a fight against the Monster and won't allow Rigo to derail. Rigo will face a big challenge for Casimero no doubt about it, and even in interview Casimero is really full of confident as he promises to take down Rigo here.

Something that will boost more with his career once the fight against Inoue got finalized.

He won't allow Rigo to interfere but he needed to showcase his talent to create more interest from both fans and promoters so after
this fight and if he win it against Rigo then the call against Inoue will be more quicker as fans will anticipate that both camps will settle
all the conditions to make things happen.

The voting in here does not mean Casimero has a huge chance to win, this isn't an easy fight for him. of course I will root for him to win but I would not be too confident that he will win since Rigondeaux has more experience than him and has fought a lot of champions too. I'm just hoping he will win and for sure this will be a great fight.
3486  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you see yourself quitting after this bullrun? on: May 15, 2021, 07:55:53 PM
No, that's not exactly for me. Money is important, but I really pity people that only work for one single purpose - earning money. Living from weekends to weekends, dreaming of a holiday. People spend the majority of their lives working, thus, to live happily and enjoy every day you need to do what you love to do.
I will never quit my job, no matter how much money I've got because I enjoy it. I can't imagine how people can live otherwise.
I understand that if you really love your job even if you earn less, you will not just leave it in exchange for money. But most of the people nowadays prefer to be their own boss and works at their most convenient time and place. If i can earn huge profits from the previous bull run, then why not? I'm not saying that i don't love my job because of quitting but i always prefer to have my own business even before and let it grow with my own skills and strategies.

I agree with this statement it has indeed become a rich and influential persons playground.
And some are enjoying playing with them while others are afraid because of the fact that they might lose what they have if they couldn't play it right.

Yeah, so it seems, cryptocurrency space is a decentralize space which means people are free to get involve, invest as much as they have and probably try to influence the market in a way to favour them, 
Having big investors coming to invest can be of advantage and disadvantage, they bring in huge funds which is good for the market and also can influence the market with this huge funds, they are like the necessary evil  Grin
Whales will never leave the market as they try to keep manipulating the market whatever chances they see. And with this fact that crypto becomes the rich man's playground, its really happening and i think we are also enjoying and riding with it just like the recent bull run we had for bitcoin and dogecoin bringing its price to the moon.

Rich men will always have the advantage if they want to come and invest in crypto and make it a playground but atleast we should also be smart to play our own game so we will not always the one being fooled at the end of the day.
3488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: May 15, 2021, 04:37:55 PM
What if Elon musk takes this opportunity of popularity and influence to start and launch his own coin to the market?
Do you think an altcoin created by Elon musk will do well in the market?

It'll be a pump-dump coin for sure as Elon Musk is doing all of this for his own entertainment/satisfaction and he'll left this market just like John McAfee who influenced so many users back in 2018's bull market. So, that coin won't be good for crypto industry as every country takes crypto in a negative way and if Elon launch his own coin which becomes a pump-dump coin, than many users will be rekt. As a result, it'll create a bad impact on crypto market and countries will have more oppertunities to question about this market.

Elon Musk will probably hype his own coin if he creates himself just like what he did with bitcoin and dogecoin that are now both in their peak price. But it never crosses my mind he will come up with this knowing he had all the coins he wanted and make it pump or dump so that the owners of such coins will end up panic selling and leave him the profitable one.

Elon Musk is a smart one, taking all those advantages he had in his power so we should also be wise as him so we can never be left empty handed because of giving him all the chances that was probably ours to take.
3489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 15, 2021, 08:05:39 AM
^ Me too, I already voted and it seems Casimero is their choice.
The odds and the people are eye-in with Casimero and for me, this is a match where Casimero’s skill will be proven. Rigondeaux is somehow hard than the previous players Casimero fought such as Inoue Pow but with proper conditioning and great connections, I think he will be able to win against him. One good thing about Casimero have as well is that his styles are very flexible and sometimes unpredictable. Rigo would find it hard to analyze and strategize the match because of that. But this is a good match-up. Nevertheless, Good luck bettors.

We can rely on these two fighters will train hard to win, this is a unification match and it's very important as one would lose his belt if he loses. Rigondeaux journey less the loss of against Lomachenko, you would not think that he will be the dog here, but because of that, people think that Casimero will win as he is in his prime now.

We also have to remember that Rigondeaux  loss because he climb in weight, he fought a bigger fighter and we can see that, but now he is coming back to a weight where he is very comfortable, so it's a big challenge on Casimero on how to beat him.
3490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas June 19 on: May 15, 2021, 07:46:42 AM
Good, Dasmarinas now need to focus on this one, this is his biggest fight, and it's barely 5 weeks from now. His team needs to step up his training to prepare for Inoue. And I'm sure Inoue is thinking the same and not taking Michael lightly as Dasmarinas has the power to knock out any opponent.

So let's see what will be the odds, Dasmarinas will be the underdog, but I'm interested to see the line as this could be a good and attractive bet for him.

No crypto sportsbooks that have added this match yet?
Was looking from popular bookies here but no one has added yet.
Definitely, the odds will favor Inoue here. But the gap, this is yet to be seen once they started posting the odds.
Dasmarinas record is also good, and considering how Filipinos trained, he has a good chance to have a toe-to-toe fight with Inoue.
As far as my favourite crypto sportsbook, they haven't added this match yet.

So it might take some time, probably in the last week of the fight, they are going to put it and we will see the odds. Dasmarinas had solid power, but he needs to be careful in this fight, he can go toe to toe but his chin will be tested. What favors Inoue here is his speed, but as you have said, Filipinos really train very hard, maybe their method is old school sometimes but still very effective.

This doesn't look like an exciting matchup, Inoue is not challenging a strong opponent, and I'm not underestimating his opponent here but we know Inoue's caliber is too far versus Dasmarinas. Casimero was the one who challenges him but his camp did not accept that challenge and the good thing now Casimero had a more exciting fight against Rigo while Inoue still fighting a fighter that has a very low chance of beating him.
3491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tesla destroys bitcoin :-[ on: May 14, 2021, 03:41:32 PM
Actually not, the first question is, will bitcoin rise this far if not because of Elon Musk's support? My answer is no, Elon hype bitcoin then later DOGE, so it's just normal that bitcoin will dump when it left by Elon but that did not make the market collapse, and even if the price will fall, at least we enjoyed a bull run and bitcoin reach a new ATH.

Bitcoin is volatile, it has a bull and bear market, we enjoy where we are now, but be always smart not to fall for the manipulators.

@Japinat, can you put a poll so we can vote.

As requested, the poll has been added now, I voted already, so you guys can also vote now.  Smiley

Voted as well, sorry, but I'm a bit bias here as I will vote for a Filipino boxer. I guess most of us here will vote for Casimero but it's still nice to see how many will vote for Rigondeaux to win. More information about this fight, worth a read for me.

Go check.
3493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the martingale system sucks! (doubling down on losses) on: May 14, 2021, 02:48:03 PM
Sometimes martingale works for odd numbers,having the right bank roll and choosing the right games. Because if we all claimed it was that bad people would have stopped talking about it way back ,but instead everyday we see a new betting strategy, somewhere in there some one will mention martingale, besides there is the right way and wrong way of using this strategy.

The standard Martingale strategy links the previous and the next step in the game, but in fact they are not linked by any mathematical or probability characteristics. The probability that every time you flip a coin, the same side will come up is 1/2. Therefore it is impossible to exclude the possibility of n number of one side falling out. Since the player's bankroll is finite, he will lose sooner or later.

It's a risky strategy and I don't use this for my bankroll management, it's teaching us to be greedy and there's no fixed strategy in gambling that could give us a consistent win, we have to adjust and I would still prefer very conservative bankroll management than this kind of approach.

most of the comments I read about this system are negative, so it should not be encouraged, especially to the newbies in gambling.
3494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 14, 2021, 11:33:05 AM
They need at least 1 win to be in the playoffs, so they need to forget this loss, focus on the next game and win it. Blazers will travel back home, they have 2 days of rest before the last game of the season, and I think they have a good chance of winning here as they are playing at home.
"Forgive him" for his teammates and forget for Covington.  Cheesy
They are already lucky Saric keeps on missing his freethrows and that gave them a chance to win the game.
The inbound play was not that good, they are too compressed near the inbounder. They should've put a bigger man to pass the ball and spread the players on both sides of the court. Let Melo, Dame, and McCollum try to receive it. Higher risk but a higher chance to win the game.
What done is done, get over it and win the next game. Oh sh*t, it's the Nuggets.  Roll Eyes

They'll win against the Nuggets, I have a feeling they'll be successful this time.  Blazers have to prepare for their last game, if Denver will lose in this game, they will still be in the top 4, which means they will get the home-court advantage, so it's a no-bearing game for them, and they might just give this away to the Blazers.

Thanks for that insight, yeah, I don't think that Denver will next to extend or play very hard, better to take it lightly so that there will be no untoward incident like injuries to key players.

Feel sorry for that lost though for the Blazers, anyhow, they should not let this one lost distract their concentration to end the regular season winning.

This is a good season for the Blazers as they are healthy and they have a good roster. That loss was just so costly that they will surely not forget, especially if they will fail to secure the stop in the top 6. They need a win against the Denver Nuggets who are still playing like the old times even without Murray, one of their star players. I can't see a head-to-head record of this two, but anyone knows their record this regular season against each other?

Tab Baldwin explains dynamics behind any Gilas decision on Jordan Clarkson

Quote
GILAS Pilipinas program director Tab Baldwin said he would definitely love to have Jordan Clarkson in the national team in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup, whether as a local or naturalized player.

If this would happen then the Gilas Pilipinas will be respected in this league.
Clarkson has been playing like a superstar in the NBA now, everyone knows him as he will definitely win the 6th man of the year.

So brothers, let's hope for this to come into reality.

Guys, I believe is time to move on for"KYC" discussion this discussion already over the past few weeks and become never ended discussion. If you feel disagree with the activity of Roobet Team for this KYC issue.

Then you can freely go on an alternative site, and you can always come back again while this KYC issue already removed by "Roobet Team" itself. Let's make yourself easy than rather make it hard of yourself even the KYC procedure already implemented the wagering all time is keep increase to next milestone.

Fun fact is that those who are against the KYC implementation in roobet are not even gamblers who actively playing in roobet. I haven't seen any real gamblers (whales) in roobet who are complaining about this thing as I believe they wont be really care about this thing since they are wagering a lot of money which is worth to fill the KYP up. It does not worth indeed for small gamblers or recreational gamblers so it is indeed about choice.

Actually, we have no right to complain as the site itself is just follow the regulators, if we don't feel comfortable then we can always find another site to play. I still believe that despite the KYC, there are still a lot of loyal gamblers playing this site.

Quote
Players are free to leave if they cant accept the rules.
AGree...

eventually, every site will impose the KYC requirement.
3497  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Student Coin Speculation/Discussion Thread on: May 14, 2021, 08:34:30 AM
Is this coin already hype now?

I think everything depends on the exchanges this project will be listed, no matter how big they'll generate but they'll not end up listed in big exchanges such as Binance, this coin would still not get the success expected, so better aim for a more liquid exchange, not necessarily Binance but anything with good liquidy and are not faking its volume.
Student coins are not listed on Binance yet, but they are already listed on Kucoin. This is a good start for Student Coin. besides that, not all of the projects are finished and running, so it still takes a lot of time for student coin to develop until it reaches the point of success stage

Kucoin, I agree, is a very good start for Student Coin. But they need to deliver first what this coin is really for. If they can truly reach out all types of students, this will be a big hit in the market. And listing in binance is easy if they see that the volume is swelling in the market. From what I see in Binance, they will list a promising coin or token if they see that there is a big demand in the market. Just look at SHIB. We all know that there is really no solid foundation on this token, and yet, CZ listed it because of the demand.

It's confirmed, things are getting better for STC... they are now listed in kucoin which increase their trading volume now to $3 million in 24 hours. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/student-coin/markets/

I'm happy about this news, I can already see the success of this project once they continue listing in big exchange.
As of now, they have Kucoin and Binance Global, these are big exchanges so there's more room to grow for this project.

And yes, Binance should be next.

Metro Manila will now shift into GCQ because most Metro Manila Mayors are alarmed at almost Php 1Billion expected revenue loss on that ECQ to MECQ period. Business should now come back and people have to go on their respective works now.

This is a good sign on PBA as they will back again in business. I'm against bubble setup as some players can't give their 100% performance on every game affecting our future bets but if there's no choice, then no choice for me too but to adjust. Don't want to see some teams again not taking seriously the competition like Coach Yeng Guiao did last season although I understand him on that part.

It will not affect our bet if we know the situation or what's gonna happen inside. However, it will affect the excitement as it's possible an injury will happen again since they will be rushing the schedule. The normal schedule of the PBA starts on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they are used to this setup and they can really rest, but in a bubble, they might play on a daily basis as we witnessed in the past.
3499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 13, 2021, 09:35:01 PM
besides Floyd is never going to take a fight in which he may actually lose because we know he wants to remain undefeated as he is now.
I am hearing this sentiment for a long time now, he faced Marcos Maidana, Canelo Álvarez, Miguel Cotto, Victor Ortiz, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Márquez, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya and so on and you think he will not face any tough fighters to remain undefeated. I do agree that the judges mostly favors Mayweather as there were too many close fights in his career but to say that he will not face tough competition is undermining his achievements.
Floyd fought all of those great boxers that is correct, but make no mistake he always fought in the best circumstances for himself and did everything in his power for this to be the case, he fought many of those fighters when they were not on their prime, whether they were too old or too young, or he forced them to fight in a division that was not the one on which they felt the most comfortable, also things change, while I do not think this was as important early on his career this became more important as he kept that record and got older.

He's a genius on his own claimed, but we can't do nothing for his records as he really did everything and until now
he's keeping that as undefeated fighter. Whatever ways he did he's stats it still on the record.
 
Mayweather's style of fighting mostly relied  with how much money he can gained, very tricky but that's how he see
this sport and he's really good at it.

Moving forward as if in case rematch take place between him and Pacquiao if money talks louder than the fans
who knows scheduled will quickly arranged.

The rematch is not gonna happen in a professional ring because Mayweather will not anymore come back from retirement. In terms of money, I guess fans would still support if the fight will happen as they want to see a rematch, but if one party is not willing, it will not happen, so why force Mayweather in doing when there are young champions whom Manny could fight.

The market is indeed crazy but we have some bad news now, maybe this would result to a big panic and we will see some dump. It's been a while since bitcoin was bullish after it went from $60k ath... so what's the catch here? I think it will just dump and that $60k will only be the ATH.

We know Elon is using his popularity by shilling crypto, the news came out that Tesla will stop accepting bitcoin, I think this one is huge and will have a negative impact on the market, that's where shorting the market comes in.
