There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.

You can even find many posts about prediction in ANN thread of a Casino/SportsBook. Yeah 90% are discussing about the match, player, score, statistic etc without discussing about what is called by gambling but I think it is common thing as long as the post is not out of the topic.
That discussion is already part of the gambling discussion, why I say that? because if we gamble we look at the stats and analyze before putting a bet, anyone that shares his bet or pick without stating the stats as a basis is gambling blindly.

Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement?

Do you really need to ask about it? I believe it is a well known secret already since few years back.

No, his question is "only discuss here" just to fulfill the requirement, I believe it's not true as there are still some who joined the discussion even not wearing a signature on their profile.

Hours left until the big game UFC264. I am waiting for this match with excitement. They says very well prepared on both sides. Mc gregor suffered a bad defeat in the last match, mcgregor says he has been preparing for this match for a long time and he will definitely win, but I think Dustin is a better athlete. I'm betting on Dustin for this match. today we will see a tko from the dustin poirier again I feel like it Smiley

I'm confident that I will also win my bet because most of you guys are betting on Poirier to win, the betting odds for McGregor have increased, which means that bettors are into Poirier to win this match. Anyone betting on Poirier to win by decision? We have some nice odds at 6.00.

Current betting odds in my bookie.

(TO WIN)
Poirier 1.73
McGregor 2.212

At the end of the day dude walked away with 700k+ and that is serious cash, like it is already all by itself enough for me to retire at an early age just with the winning amount and finally be able to live a decent life. Let's see if anyone makes any crazy move on the finals.
What are you talking about? The guy lost his million dollar bet and Sportsbet earned a million bucks just like that and they are planning something big which they have clearly mentioned in their post above.

I guess you got confused because England won, but he still lost the bet. He bet on the 90 minutes(plus injury time) market and the final score was 1 : 1 which is a draw.

Kane scored a penalty successfully in ET due to which England won the game(2 : 1).
Holy cow!! He didn't win that bet? I thought it was more like "whoever wins and goes to next stage" and not the 90 minutes thing. Now this changes sooo much, I can't believe it, some guy wagered on England to win and wagered a whole million dollars on a fucking bet and he ended up losing? Wow man, wow.

I seriously did not understand it, I assumed he won, and I was still not that much shocked because you know how "house always wins" which I thought this guy would hyped and wager more and eventually end up losing it back, but this means he is already out a million dollars and losing. I can't say I am sad for him too much though because he knew the risks and he took it and he ended up losing in the end... but come ooooon! Losing it like this? I mean England were clear favorites and they end up winning anyway and this guy lost only because of 90 minute result, that must sting A LOT.

Does he lose his bet? hmm... do we have to be surprised with that? I think we are too concerned with the amount of bet, for sure this bettor would not bet that amount if he can't afford it. Maybe we should look at Sportsbet success, this means that bettors trust the site as they were able to bet $1 million USDT with doubting Sportsbet. I think this is the biggest bet I saw in crypto sportsbook.

Love the analysis.
It was really Middleton who was not answering for every attack the Suns will make.
I don't think he lacks confidence but he just lost it. 5/16 shooting and 1/6 from the outside will make you doubt yourself.
But, that is not how a superstar does things. Steph Curry did shoot 0/10 before from the first half and will not even care and still end it with 15/30.
That's how stars are being trusted by their teammates and they won't care how bad your start is as long as you finish it strong.  

Middleton is like a machine, when he starts to heat up, he will be unstoppable, and what I noticed is that he has a high percentage of shooting when playing at home, maybe the court familiarity helps and the fans as well. I expect him to bounce back in game 3, put on a show especially his 3 point shooting.

I'm counting on him in game 3, he should help Giannis win and I don't see Giannis will be slowed down in this game, he will continue to generate points, grab those rebounds and block shots, that's what he is, but he badly needs some help, otherwise, you know what's coming already.
Same thinking here, he is the one who always closes out the game, one thing that is missing to Giannis is his killer's instinct, I watch some videos saying that Giannis doesn't have that, while Middleton always close games when Giannis is not performing well, for the team to come back and even the series Middleton role in the team is very important, we saw this in the two series where they have won.

That's why they lose in game 2 because Middleton had a bad shooting night, he seems not getting good looks that's why he was missing. We can also see that the Bucks's focus is to score inside that's why they get more fouls than the Suns who are more focused on their 3 point shooting. It's correct to go with their advantage but they can never allow the Suns to have a good look they have been shooting very well outside.

About Inoue's chin, at first glance you could really tell that this boy had a fragile chin but based up on his career stats then its impossible on avoiding hits and now he's still undefeated
which does proves out that he's currently the best or great on his weight division.

It's easy to achieve that shape, Inoue is just gifted because he is fast and a heavy hitter, most of his fights are won by KO, you can tell he could really dominate his division. Naoya Inoue is only 28 years old, this boy can still improve and will become a complete fighter.

He is short like Manny Pacquiao, who knows he might be the next Pacquiao.

Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.
 
Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?

I don't call it a sign of gambling addiction as long as it does not affect your normal way of living. it's normal to think of strategies to win and you can sometimes take that in your sleep, that only means you are a challenge and you'll continue to find ways to win in gambling. I have this kind of experience sometimes but I know I'm not a gambling addict, I just love to challenge myself.

Looks like game 2 will be different from game 1.

Despite the dominance the Suns have shown in game 1, this line movement now is very suspicious for me.
Suns are now only -4.5. I guess more money will flow for the Suns with this line, however, this looks like a trap for me.
Your thoughts on this guys.

Line movement tells a lot, and it doesn't make sense why the line has dropped when people are betting on the Suns, well, probably the sharps are on the Bucks and I believe we should follow that without a doubt. I'll tail on the bucks bettors in this game 2, let's have some fun.
3568  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoins kill Central Banks? on: July 08, 2021, 09:27:58 PM
I know it was a sort of market competition and bank owners will think negatively with the existence of Bitcoin as it will slow down their business or even thinking it will be their end. Well, that they are too naive to think that way and that is because they don't know about Bitcoin, about cryptocurrency yet. I can blame them neither as that is business but hopefully, they also understand the situation. And besides, not all are in crypto so they still have clients and they could still able to survive.
the most severe, the central bank is under government control, so this will be more difficult considering that the government does not want to lose control, such as the decentralized system in bitcoin. but this time we are faced with the country of elsalvador which will legalize bitcoin, at least we have hope for it
Not only do they control it, but the government owns the central bank as they are the ones who created it, it's a public-owned agency. We might see more countries adopting bitcoin like what El Salvador just announce, but I'm sure big countries will not follow it as they always want in control and their fiat is valuable globally unlike small countries where their fiat has a small value in global exchange.

We are going to dive directly into the first game of the final series tonight.

Suns vs Bucks... Who would've thought at the beginning of the season that these two teams would promote to the final? I was expecting a final series between LA Lakers and Brooklyn Nets. It'd be really awesome but here we're.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/injuries/

According to this source, Giannis's condition is going to be clear when the game time comes. I hope that he can start playing again in the first game. Bucks really need him to compete better against Suns. They have a really tough opponent that's for sure. My favourite team in this series are Bucks. Maybe they're not given too much chance but they can make it I believe.

If he is likely to play in game 1, that's good news because even if he will not play, we can expect him to be back in game 2 at least. It's very exciting, I'm sure Giannis had enough time to rest already and his teammates as well, and they will be ready in game 1 of the NBA Finals.

I'll be betting for the Bucks because of the attractive odds at the moment @3.01 plus the fact that even if Giannis is out, Middleton and the rest are very capable in beating the Suns in game1, the game where both teams are in the feeling-out/adjusting.

If Giannis would be back then they will be a slight favorite which for me is some kind of a trap as he will not be 100 percent and he might be a liability in defense rather than an asset. Hope they will not force him to play until game3.

You got balls man, good luck on your bet, whether Giannis is in or out in game 1, the Bucks are still a dangerous team and they could always give the Suns some trouble. I like your reason for betting on the Bucks and I'm happy to hear that because I got Bucks to win in the series.

I heard this one too, it's very popular especially for gamers but I'm not riding the train yet as I believe it needs time to focus and to continue earning. In every project there's always a risk, yes, it's the devs who are the first risk, if they'll stop developing or working on the project, it will easily go down as people will panic.

Bear in mind that its value depends on SLP, since we are in the crypto space, it's possible to see a dump, so when playing this, you need to have a mindset of an investor than just a pure gamer.
3573  Economy / Economics / Re: The One World Currency: Is it Bitcoin? on: July 05, 2021, 09:11:39 PM
It can never be because bitcoin is not stable as a currency. For it to be widely adopted, it should not be volatile and the fees should not be expensive, people will only use it that way, not the current situation. Bitcoin, as it stays longer, has not become a currency according to its purpose, instead, it becomes a speculative asset and its purpose now becomes an investment.
3574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a bad time for altcoins? on: July 05, 2021, 08:44:41 PM
Someone may be in a huge profit in 2017 when any altocoins has gone 100 to 1000x but now at present time it is very difficult to know what is going to happen with altocoins. In cryptocurrencies anything can happen at anytime. Increasing crypto on daily basis might put you in big loss so it is very important to search about potential project and  then invest in that altocoins.

If you are paying attention during the altcoins run this year, you'll not miss the opportunity to see some coins that increase x10 to x100, and for me, that's already a huge one and it could result in a bigger profit if you buy them at a very cheap price. We can't compare the price increase in 2017 as the market is getting bigger now and people gets wiser, but you can still see the effect of the bull run.
3575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 05, 2021, 08:28:08 PM
I read some article saying Donaire and Casimero is okay now, but the fight will still not happen, so most likely, Inoue will be next target of Doniare. As a champion, he has a high confidence and he believes he can beat Inoue in the rematch, let's just give that to him as he deserve a rematch, but if you'll ask me, Inoue will win 100%, same dominant result is what we are going to see.

So they will be cooking this Donaire-Inoue rematch? If the demand is high from boxing fans, I believe Inoue's camp will agree for this match. But in this match, Donaire will be underdog. And if he has still the strength and power, this will be a good time to unleash inside the ring as Inoue is still in his prime. Let us wait if this will ever push thru without Donaire fighting first another boxer.

The demand is high, that's automatic, both are champions and everyone wants to see how is the better, it's a unification fight and Inoue would love to fight Donaire to get his belt and since he beat him before, there's no reason not to give him a rematch when he will get a big reward.
3576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: July 05, 2021, 02:05:52 PM
I personally believe that there will be another btc bull run and alt run before 2021 ends.  what you guys think about it?

btc to 80000 or 120000 USD

We believe there will be another bull run 🤣
You know already as everyone out there seek for the increment of the market.

There's no question with that as the bull run will certainly come, the only question is when it will come, and IMO, a bull run will not happen every year, it usually happens after a long period of bearish market or correction. Based on the past trends, we can easily tell what would happen in the future, and everyone who believes in crypto believes in a bull run as well, but those who have experience will be more realistic.
3577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you know the Cards game..lucky nine,pusoy and tong its on: July 05, 2021, 01:42:23 PM
Lucky 9 is a P2P baccarat while pusoy is a 3-way poker. Tong its is the only filipino card game that I don’t see any similarities on other foreign game but these game is very popular in the Philippines
Yeah tong-its is the only card game on list without an international counter-part that's played on most casinos.

I tried searching for a similar game and India's Rummy came up. I don't know if that's popular internationally though. Another game with similarity is the widely known (among Asians) Mahjong but it's not a card game.

If these games will be available on our popular gambling sites there, then it would be worth trying. However, I think it's only popular in the Philippines and though it's already brought abroad I think it's still not popular enough for casinos to consider adding these games.
3578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 05, 2021, 01:21:33 PM

Giannis was injured now but he could return in the NBA Finals. If he can play then for sure he will not miss this opportunity to help his team to become a champion. The Bucks have missed a lot of opportunities, they are consistent in the Playoffs but they never reach in the NBA Finals, so they sure are very hungry to win.

If he won't play then the series would not be good as we expected since no one will guard Ayton. however, if he comes back at the right time, he will eventually match the power of the Phoenix Suns and have the chance to win this series. Looks like the tide is all going to the Phonix and this is kind of a chance that they don't need to let go since they can win the game one if Giannis won't play. then can secure their offence more often when no one like Giannis will depend on the rim.

As long as Lopez, Middleton, and Holiday are consistent, the Bucks still got a chance to upset the Suns in game 1 even without Giannis. Everyone is jumping on the Suns now as they thought the Bucks is nothing without Giannis, but if we look at the last 2 games in the ECF, they beat the Hawks and eliminate them. Let us also appreciate the ball movement of the Bucks, it's better without Giannis, and as proof, we can look at game 5 of the ECF where the starters score double digits.

I just imagine how big the pressure in their side now as Giannis is questionable to play in Game 1 but let see there if he will get a clearance since this could add more fire power and though defense to the bucks, but I doubt Suns will be so easy since we didn't expect that they will reach this far so I really expect to see an intense action since both of them really want to win the champ since they want to prove theirselves and get those rings on their hands.

They already feel the pressure when they play the Hawks, the Bucks are a good team, they have to trust themselves and they have to prove to the world that Bucks is not Giannis. If the Bucks would lose in game 1, I think it's still one game, and usually, the home team is likely to win, so let's say we give the 2 games to the Suns, and then Bucks will just have to even the series by winning game 3 and 4, and for sure Giannis will already be back at that time.

Dont know on why the public do really love for Inoue to lose as this guy is already my favorite not just on his capability but i do love his boxing style and also his behavior.

Some fans maybe but not the public because the majority of the gamblers still favor Inoue to win the fight again. The first fight is not even close, so why would we think Donaire would win here, just because got a good win against Nordine Oubaali doesn't change the fact that Donaire lost against Inoue via unanimous decision. 

Donaire here trying to make an upset, and Inoue's fans say it's not possible.
