3481  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next stop $85K for Bitcoin on: October 07, 2021, 03:15:51 PM
At the moment the price of ETH is being very volatile, and the bears are wanting to lower the price in all the rallies, it is likely that it will continue to rise in price, at the moment it is approximately 3579USD, many are expecting the price to $ 5k, it all depends on the movement of BTC:


Quote
The rising 20-day EMA ($3,262.50) and the RSI in the positive zone indicate that bulls are in control.

If buyers propel the price above $3,676.28, the ETH/USDT pair could rally to $4,027.88.

For ETH, many are wanting to raise it to $ 5k because they want to make a quick profit, there are many ERC-20 projects that have a lot of future, having a better price will make it even more attractive.

It was notifying how ETH makes a move together with Bitcoin, potential altcoins are just following the same path. If Bitcoin will hit another ATH this seems possible but for this year, the reality isn't that near, yeah, I think it will fail.
I'd expect the bullish season to come again within this year but never I think we can go that far $85k for Bitcoin. Maybe in the next 4-year cycle were halving launch again. It is really difficult to draw a conclusion and the only thing we need for now is just to have some faith and positivity, I think that was enough already.

This Dunk looks like in the era of Vince Carter where players don't fail to give us what we are looking for in the NBA games. Man, he just doesn't care about how he will fall, it's all about how he dunks the ball to the ring. JOHN COLLINS has sent some good messages to their opponents in the upcoming season.
Saw that. Allen was shock as hell afterwards. It's too high, his max arm stretch won't even reach it.  Grin
About the Hawks versus Cavaliers game, that scared the living shit out of me. Why do they use Garland and Sexton for 30+ minutes in a preseason game?
Don't they try to take care of their stars as much as possible before the season starts or they don't consider them as stars?
Looking at statistics, only 10 players put minutes on the floor, where are the other guys? I see a bunch of players in the bench and yet they were not used.
Sorry, I am just worried they might lose roleplayers in this process.
They don't care because they are not going to the playoffs anyway, they can play as much as they want because that would help them have a good start before the regular season, and hopefully, this team will not end up the worst team in the season. Don't worry, they are still young and not prone to injury, those who are prone to injury should rest, not these young fellas.

Paul Lee has a lesser burden now because he has Abueva who provides energy in the floor. Meralco has no chance to beat the Magnlio, they have been dominated already in the last 2 games.

Everyone was stepping up actually.

We saw that, that's why he delivers more because the defense is not only focused on him. Meralco is now on the brink of elimination, one loss and everything will be gone for them ( at least they should not expect to come back from 3-0 deficit). Therefore, they have to give everything they have and they can in game 3, it should be considered as a win or go home game for them.
3484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't miss this opportunity to buy and hold BNB on: October 06, 2021, 02:55:55 PM
We have seen many opportunities for BNB to make a good profit in short-term. But I'm not sure about this one. Because it is nearly completely dependent on the movements of Bitcoin price. BNB still can't do more than that while Ethereum are able to do a little. BNB is a good choice for a long-term investment purposes I think. In the long run, I believe it will make its investors very happy.
BNB is entitled to our trust. I foresaw this project for long-term investment just like BTC. Yes, BNB seems it has close market competition against ETH platform and this looks good as both parties would have to be more strategies in order to win which could be more beneficial to this.
If we see Bitcoin at $400 this time, we can't be surprised that it becomes $1k in the future as for sure the demand will increase which uplift its market price higher from today.

https://www.nba.com/news/lamarcus-aldridge-to-reportedly-sign-with-nets
This is why we cannot expect too much from him. Nets will give him the minutes but I don't think they will let him stay for a long time for the said reason.
Maybe this will be his last year and he just considers having a ring before he fully retires and just rests.
Other teams though should still be careful in defending him, he sure could stretch the floor with his shooting range which we just witnessed earlier.
Well, i agree with that!
Does anyone have a health feedback from LaMarcus Aldridge from his last game!!?

Is he still okay? Does he have the ability to play during the regular season and playoffs cautiously!!?
I think he is okay, otherwise, he would not play him. Regular games and practice games are the same, and when he can finish in practice games, he can also play in regular games. Well, I agree that he might get limited minutes and he would retire after the Nets will win a championship, he is only taking the opportunity as this is the best team so far he played with to fulfill his dream of becoming a champion.
We can gauge him more once the regular season will start, in the preseason, there's a lack of physicality and players do understand the condition of L.A. so they might not take him seriously.  Smiley Anyway, the Nets are looking good on their first game though it's just preseason, at least we see some names that are willing to contribute for the team to win, and that huge win is a statement that they are ready to battle the Lakers.
3486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 04, 2021, 08:45:25 PM

Donaire is still powerful to fight besides his age factor. Yes, the punches were really strong and quick enough to hit the opponent. Every boxer has their own style of boxing. I recently saw a movie with full of boxing. Yes, each one has their own uniqueness in playing with opponents. Yup so far I have seen, both Nonito Donire and Reymart Gaballo are really good fighters.  

They are indeed, good fighters but my bet is going to Nonaire on this one.

As someone who grew up watching the fights of Nonito "The Flash" Donaire, it is truly a privilege to see him fight once again on the ring despite his age. Since Manny Pacquiao has already retired from boxing, boxers like Donaire are only of the few Filipino boxers who have established their name and reputation as the 'greats' on their field.

Though Reymart Gaballo is one of those aspiring young fighters who have a good track record, the experience is with Donaire on this one.

Pacquiao had formally announced his retirement in boxing already, we only have few Filipino fighters to watch, and currently, we only have a popular Nonito Donaire (who would retire soon) and Johnriel Casimero.

Both will have a mandatory fight and it would be nice for them to win their respective fight so a big fight will be scheduled for them, that's the reason why I think Nonito will win and I'm gonna bet on him as well.
3487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 04, 2021, 01:44:32 PM

Here's the latest update on the Kambosos Lopez fight

George Kambosos' world title fight against Teofimo Lopez in doubt as Triller pull out of promotion
There's a possibility that Eddie Hearn will take over the promotion, which is good since DAZN has a good track record when it comes to promoting big events.
Expect good news coming on this fight people still love to see the Kambosos - Lopez fight.


With this latest development, we can expect some good news coming but I doubt the fight will happen this year. Under a new promoter, they still have to work on many things and that includes marketing this fight.

Different promoters may have different strategies to promote the fight.

The hype is over of this fight due to many postponements, so they have to build the hype again in their own style.
3488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 04, 2021, 11:53:10 AM
Nunn's excessive dribbling at times could become a serious problem during the regular season. He's got the skills but he needs to work more on his floor management. Meanwhile, it's nice to see Aldridge still got that mid-range jumper. He won't be able to play a lot but that J could be very helpful every time he's called.

I also noticed that even back in his Miami days, but it's not gonna be a big problem for the Lakers because he'll most probably be in the 2nd squad, and the Lakers 2nd squad could better use of Nunn's style of play.
I'm kinda excited on what could the Lakers do this season, as well as the healthy Nets. I'm also looking forward for the Nets revenge against the Bucks in the coming playoffs.

They will certainly make revenge, they lose because they are undermanned but they'll try to be healthy and face the Bucks in the ECF if Bucks are lucky to qualify again. As revenge, I think the Nets could sweep the Bucks as they almost did that to them if Irving was not injured.

I hope to see that, but the Nets have to stay healthy, especially Irving because despite he is a problem sometimes, we cannot deny that he contributes big time to the success of the team. Harden will always be a contributor also, but he can't contribute well if he is not healthy, just like what we saw in the ECF when the Nets bet them and Harden was not able to contribute his usual numbers.
3489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 04, 2021, 09:54:58 AM
I think the fight they previously had ( not in the ring) makes people to decide more than Plant has no chance of winning. Look at the odds, at 1.08, I think it's almost impossible for Caleb to make an upset here, and Canelo will be waiting and eager to punish him because of his trash talk that is below the belt.

1.08 is still good IMO. In some of the previous fights, Canelo's odds were 1.025 - 1.030. It makes no sense to bet with such odds, but a lot of gamblers would disagree with me and say that it is just assured winning. At the time when the fight was first announced, I made the decision not to make a bet on this match. I knew that the odds would be insanely low. Even if it is an assured win, if the bet remain this low then I am not going to take it. And BTW, although we call it as an "assured win", there is no 100% guarantee. Upsets happen in the boxing ring every now and then.

Not worthy to risk your money as also my opinion. Though maybe it's an assured fight but upset and shit can happen, we don't know how ready Plant is and what preparation he's taking right now to increase his chance of winning this fight, though for most, Alvarez really have the higher edge and bookies recognize that.

All depends now on how bettors will take their sides. If you are okay with small odd, then take Alvarez. maybe decent amount may give you entertaining profits.

Good luck and enjoy watching the fight! Wink

That's true, it all depends on the bettors if they are willing to take that 1.08 and think that it's easy money. Upset could happen in boxer, that's proven in the past, so it's not impossible to see an upset in this fight, and bettors who take that 1.08 should be ready if they lose as no boxer is unbeatable.

Just not enough for SMB although they have a huge run in the 4th quarter. Anyway, it's just one game, regardless of the total points the TNT won, they are happy now but SMB will not allow them to win easily, so expect a good game 2 game for the SMB,  and hopefully the refs will come to play as well.
Only point away not bad for both teams, they show fans how competition really is when facing the same level of competitor. I like the idea of using the old squad the blend really there. The veteran stars get to play longer time and only Romeo and Perez shared some minutes, a battle of good coaching strategy and the system that will engage each player inside the court.

This series is more interesting as it's a just like playing the finals and you are really fighting hard to win the title.

Game 2 will be another hard time for both squad, as one will want to have a good edge while the other team will try to tie the series up and make sure that they won't be left with a huge gap..
Romeo has still not exploded, maybe not 100% yet but I have a feeling once he starts finding his rhythm, he will lead the SMB to win.

There's no schedule yet for the next game, good for them as they can relax as this is probably a long series that both teams will adjust in order to win.
Next game is a win for SMB and probably Meralco on the other match up, that would make the series both tide at 1-1.

Obviously, everyone will bet on the SMB in game 2, I wonder what would be the line but since they lose in game 1, they should not be a heavy favorite if they will. Time to get back our money and let the bookies pay, martingale the next 2 games of SMB and you'll guaranteed a win.
3491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 03, 2021, 09:28:21 PM
Never mind Donaire, lol, he has been in the business for so long, he should already know that trash talking is part of the game. Even if they win, Inoue is still the A-side of the fight against Donaire or Casimero. But it's better if they will pull a win, so that the hype is still there. Specially Casimero who settles for trash talking Inoue and he is getting on Inoue's skin. I think it will be bigger that Donaire vs Inoue in my opinion.
And this is why I am not so excited with the way things turned out, while Casimero should be the favorite to win this fight every time you face a challenger there is the possibility of losing and when that happens any hype that the fight could have had evaporates, and not only the fans are not as excited as they were before but even the fighters lose as they are not going to earn as much money as they could had if thy fought each other before that happened, I hope this does not happen but it is always a possibility.
There's no room for mistakes for Casimero here, though he has some problem with an opponent that moves fast and is not totally aggressive, I'm sure he learned a lot on his fight against Rigo, and he understands that he has to go back to his KO streak again and that means we will see an impressive win if he will be successful in defending his belt.

The trash talk and his success in his previous fights are his main recipe to get a big fight, he would lose that if he cannot beat his challenger.

He has some break for winning the fight against Rigo, that kind of fight does not need to happen again as he is risking his good record and streak. Now that he will again fight a challenger and looks like Butler is not using a Rigo style, it would not be hard for him to use his strategy and if he loses, there's no excuse for him.
3492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 03, 2021, 08:41:08 PM
OK.. we're almost in to October and I don't see any real change in the odds for Caleb Plant. For Caleb, the odds remain in +500 to +600 range (which are still overestimating his chances IMO). None of his verbal tirade against Canelo seems to have impressed the fans. If there was an uptick in bets favoring him, then the odds would have definitely changed. That hasn't happened. Neither the fans, or the sportsbooks think that he is having a realistic chance of defeating Canelo. And this may be the most one-sided fight featuring Canelo in the recent times.


Bookies see that fans and bettors are not buying the drama. They still think that Canelo has a high edge over Plant. Though for sure there are still people who will bet for Plant in hope that upset will happen, but the majority still siding for Canelo knowing that talent and skills wise this man have a lot of advantage.

The chance that bookies implied is very small, giving such odd for Plant. If you have spare and you are into gambling, this one might give you some enticing interest to multiply or to grow your money.
And quite honestly there is not a reason to buy the drama at all, Caleb is doing everything that he can to attract more attention to himself while Canelo is just doing what he always does, which is to prepare himself for the fight and give his all when that time comes, and if that is the case then Canelo has very good odds to win this fight easily despite the record of Caleb and all the trash talking that he is doing right now.
I think the fight they previously had ( not in the ring) makes people to decide more than Plant has no chance of winning. Look at the odds, at 1.08, I think it's almost impossible for Caleb to make an upset here, and Canelo will be waiting and eager to punish him because of his trash talk that is below the belt.
3493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 03, 2021, 08:23:20 PM
~
IMO, he should continue fighting if he wants and just consider Tyson Fury his kryptonite. In boxing, "styles makes fight" so let's just assume that Fury got his numbers. We can't deny that Wilder is one of the feared champions in the heavyweight division and almost all of them have losses so nothing to be ashamed of, it's just one have to lose. 
Wilder was picking and choosing fighters and he had confidence in his power despite the fact that he is not a technically great boxer but have immense power in his hands and once he faced Tyson Fury who was not going down with his power punch he was not able to do anything and if Fury continues his usual strength then he will win the trilogy and hopefully we will not hear any further excuses.
Fury had been knockdown once,  so he feel the power of Wilder, it's just that Fury is so good at moving around and take note, he also has the power so he can hurt Wilder. As long Wilder cannot connect with clean punches on Fury, I think the same result will be seen, Fury will win via UD or a KO at worst.

Another casual 20:3 run in the last quarter, PBA rig fest at its best.

So what do you think will happen next game?

Do you have fixed game information on this game between SMB vs TNT?

Share it, please.  Grin

Well, in the next game exactly the same happened. TNT going into the last quarter with a 11 point lead and then win by only one (could have lost easy at SM had last possession?. Anyway, handicap got covered by SM, Rigged as fuck this league.

Nice one, continue with what you believe as long as you win. By the way, what was the handicap, was it +1.5 for SMB?
Anyway, the game is over, and let's move on to game 2.

Magnolia and TNT are on a lead of 1-0 on their respective series, at least not all SMB teams though.

Game 2 for TNT vs SMB, I'm going hard for SMB, no brainer, they have to win.
3495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 03, 2021, 09:00:18 AM
Skils and and mental advantages are both with Alvarez, no doubts that's how bookies see this event.

Obviously, as it reflected on the odds easily, Caleb could be undefeated but taking on Alverez is a nightmare, either he will get KO here or he will suffer from serious injury, just like what happened to the opponent of Canelo in his last fight.

Lol, you cannot take that as a basis mate, it's normal in a game, even in NBA it happens, so you are saying that NBA is also rigged?

Come on, no one has proved that PBA is rigged, all are just speculation from the bettors who lose their bet.
Just be smart, do believe in the rigged game, it's okay but always tries to be on the right side.
3497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 02, 2021, 07:51:32 PM
Have you read or watched Ray Allen's take on Ben Simmon's shooting?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WqsouKSCdE - starts at 10:00
He's basically saying Ben should practice with a mindset as if it was an actual game where the stakes are higher and not some soft pick up games. Put himself in tough situations until he gets used to it. Maybe he should keep on watching how Micheal Jordan would take practice or learn from Kobe Bryant's work ethics.
It's also noteworthy that Ray said there's anything wrong with Ben's form.

^ From what I think Ray wanted to say is that maybe Ben is taking the matches for granted. I could be wrong but this is what I think. Maybe Ray feels like Ben doesn't train enough or something. Ben has scored about 14 points a game this year and his 3 point scoring has not been that good. He has scored 30% of his 3 point attempts but he has taken a healthy 7 rebounds a game. As a point guard who gets about 32 minutes a game, 14 points is a bit low in my opinion. he is only 25 and I hope with the right mindset and better training, he can get better.

It's the mental toughness that is the problem of Ben Simmons, during the regular season, he has some impressive stats, so why it changes during the playoffs? The answer is because of the pressure, he can't live with the pressure as one of the star players of the team, and with his awkward and low percentage outside shooting, that doesn't give him enough confidence to shoot the ball, in fact, he was so predictable during the playoffs due to his limitations on offense.
3498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 02, 2021, 07:32:18 PM
I'm looking for Donaire to win but also a bit of concern that Gaballo will now have its first loss. In the end, I like Gaballo instead to win because it's his era now. If Gaballo wins, another Filipino boxer will be more popular again. More opportunities will come and might be Gaballo's ticket for a much bigger fight. Donaire already achieved his dream. It's the time now for a young boxer to enter the high stage. Donaire doesn't need to prove something. He is a reputable boxer for Pinoy boxing fans.
If there's someone who will be popular to follow the footstep of Donaire, I don't think it will be Gaballo, yes, he is still young but he doesn't have the skills yet that could be a champion and would beat the best in the Division, especially Inoue.

Pacquiao was beating Mexican champions during his prime, but this time it's Inoue who are beating Filipino boxers, and it needs to stop and I don't think Gaballo would be able to do that.
3499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 02, 2021, 02:02:30 PM
Too risky? You think that Caleb has chances to win? Personally, I find him weaker than other fightes who Canelo has fought recently. But I would not bet, because there is not surprize in this fight and odds are too small. I would better bet on other event.
His recent fight definitely caused him some injuries so it could be a factor that Plant might win given that fight after another fight isn't really your best for someone as some injuries might last longer and can affect that fighter.
Who was injured? Plant or Canelo? I'm a little confused here as I don't see both that are injured in their previous fights. Maybe you mean the cut that Plant got when the two meet because he throw some insults about Canelo's mother? Please be more specific.

Anyhow, the odds for Game 1 Semis are out now: (stake.com)

Meralco Bolts @ 1.82 vs. Magnolia HotShots @ 1.89
San Miguel Beermen 1.8 vs TNT Katropa @ 1.82

We can conclude that bookies see these games having no underdog or favorites. Almost equal. Betting on Handicaps is the best option here for me.

Odds above are more advantageous if you are a fan of the Beermen but if you are a die-hard TNT fan, better for somebody offline that gives you +1 game as there are many who are giving that kind of handicap (some of my colleagues at work we're already doing that).



Nice odds, it seems to be fair for both teams and probably it's good to bet on per game since the odds difference is not that huge.

In sportsbet, the odds are also available now, I'm getting 2.02 (price boost) for SMB.

Looks like the SMB is the underdog in the series since, in game 1, TNT is the favorite. I guess bettors will put more money on the SMB to win and probably they will make a simple strategy to bet on SMB in game 1 and double if they lose, that's martingale using a good probability as if SMB loses in game 1, they will still remain as underdog in game 2.
