The government will not be quiet about what happens to the crypto. If they think that they can take taxes from people who owned crypt, they will do that and make new regulations for crypto users to start collecting the taxes. I am a bit worried about that as the government can use all the ways they can to ask the local exchanges about the report of their user so the government will know who people have the crypto. We know that the government can force the local exchange to send the report to them.
But didn't the US tried to do that too? And didn't they failed to make it into a real thing? I am sure that Philippine government isn't a better one when it comes to governance compared to the US govt. Trust me, I know how incompetent they are.
I hope they won't come up with aggressive tax law on crypto as we will suffer from that, taxing what we owned is not fair because most of us buy the crypto we own, and where' the income on that part? Just like an example in a scenario where you buy bitcoin at $50k, and you hold it until the price dump and reach $20k, the question is, are you still gonna pay for the taxes now that you lose a significant amount already in terms of value in fiat?

And it's hard to see who are the good guy and who are the bad guy here.

Usually in a fight, we have the favourite who is the good guy, and then on the others side, the villain of sort who talks too much.

But it seems both of this fighters are trash talkers, so it's hard to distinguished and who are the people going to favour in this fight based on sentiments (good vs bad). But since the fight is going to happen in the US, so Lopez will be the crowd favourite for sure.

I like it when two fighters are doing thrash talks to each other, that means they are going to go for each other and will engage to the delight of the fight, we love to see fighters going to each other and willing to engage, we hope they live up to the fan's expectation because of the hype they've created.

The champion is usually the good guy, but in this fight, I don't know who is the good guy, but I'm not wasting my time finding out, what I want to know is who is the better fighter here not based on the betting odds but based on our personal analysis.
3563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 08, 2021, 03:52:45 AM
We will see who will be more dominant, which I think both fighters are aggressive and they both want this to win too bad!

Time to shine and they needed to bring the excitement of the fans to an entertaining blow by blow scenes. Hard to say if
Inoue can easily shut the mouth of Casimero knowing how furious this guy, it's also the best time for him (Casimero) to try his luck
beating the monster.
We'll see if Casimero endures all the body blows as regards on his experience and stamina, unlike Donaire who suffers and got counted from a body shot of Inoue.

Casimero looks stronger, he can surely endure the punches of Inoue, and we have to remember that Donaire last 12 rounds and somehow give trouble to Inoue in some rounds. This will not be the same as Inoue vs Donaire's fight, it will be entirely different as Casimero has a different style, he is aggressive and willing to fight blow by blow just to prove his statement against Inoue.

Not only that, but Casimero has been traveling to fight hometown boxers and defeated them, so that's says about Casimero's mental state and preparedness for a fight. Against, Duke Micah, he was really tested because there were rounds that he was hit flush in the chin and in the body but he keeps on going and knock out Micah. So it's a prime vs prime version of themselves and that's what this fight more exciting.

That's why we can't expect it's an easy fight for either boxer, though Inoue is the more popular, Casimero has been making a name in the boxing industry and he is ready to give his best to beat a champion and become the best. If he would win against Inoue, then I guess he will be next to Manny Pacquiao in terms of popularity as Donaire would also soon retire.

We have three games for today after that unexpected postponement.

SMB will be battling the hot TNT Katropa in the second game. This is very interesting since the Beermen is put on an underdog status (though not much), seldom we can see them in this situation so as a fan, i will be rooting for them.

My picks:

NLEX +4.5 @1.90
SMB ML @2.1

Will stay away on the third game, doubt Rain or Shine could defeat a struggling Ginebra. Good luck on us all.




Nice odds for SMB, I'm also a fan of SMB, so even if TNT had a perfect record, I think SMB will bounce back to win against the best team in the PBA now. I might miss watching the first game as it's too early, it's 12:30 and I have so many important things to do, but definitely, I will not miss watching the 2nd game at 3;00 PM.

odds now for SMB is 2.01 only in my bookie, hopefully it will not drop anymore.
3565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 07, 2021, 09:28:55 PM

I really missed those times, players are not relying so much on their 3 point shooting, they are more into physical plays like driving inside to score and get fouled.
As even Larry Bird who can really shot from the ark is also making his shots closers to the basket, they are not relying with the long 3's but they wanted to keep challenging the defense and make an in your face dunks or twisted shots to avoid the blocking defense.

That was the old times but I don't see a lot of games in the past due so I was not able to appreciate it a lot.
now, we have the internet, we can just watch the highlights in youtube so we can easily get familiar with the players, but I agree, compared to now, in the past, it's more physical and more entertaining to watch.

I guess the NBA organization has realized that if they will not make it soft, their players will easily be injured and their investment will be at risk, so I don't think we will ever see the 80's-90's style in NBA again.

That's a big part of these changes. NBA stars now are a big investment, so allowing those hard fouls will affect the players. They don't want to lose millions of dollars just because of a hard foul that results in major injuries.

No more Jordan rules, a plain head to head and if the defense collapses, then so be it.
I guess at this point where every team has included "flopping" as part of their training, the commissioner has to make a stop of this by putting a heavy penalty on a player that is proven flopping, high paid players gets the biggest penalty, and let's see if they'll still continue to do it.

If CJ Perez was still in DYIP, we won't other names on their roster stepping up.

Honestly, I didn't even know some of them until they are producing good numbers. This team has a future if it won't be destroyed thru trades.

There are a lot of players being added to the DYIP roster due to the departure of CJ Perez, and it turns out to give a good result to the team's chemistry. No star player for the team, no problem. CJ Perez not getting his minutes with the SMB as he is not a starter, but he has to play his role, I hope he doesn't miss his role with the DYIP.

Many of us thought that bitocoin may be start his bull run towards 100k. At the same we get an unexpected downfall in it’s price. Today more then 9% decrease in it’s current price and it makes a negative impact all over the market. Need more time for correction. it can be said that the price of BTC will not go up very soon. Maybe 50K can be the range.
It dumped to as low as $43k according to the news.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-plunges-below-43k-in-minutes-in-crypto-market-rout

Again it was a market manipulation and the whales were being blamed for what happened.
I have no doubt about the manipulation as even from the very start, they are already here and what happened today happened in the past and could still happen in the future.
3568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 06, 2021, 08:46:01 PM

Maybe they did it so that SMC teams will not eye on getting Tiongson anymore as he became popular because of his performance against SMB and GSM Cheesy.
Who knows, hahaha but this guy can really make good damage to his shooting skills and he's mental capabilities will bring good help come out from the bench. We don't know if either Gin kings or SMB will keep an on eye on him Tongue

Kidding aside, Blackwater isn't a good team since the start of the conference and we can see it on their performances and their roster right now. On the other hand, Dyip has gained some momentum winning their first 2 games and their momentum will just continue. Their coach did a great job on the team even they don't have an all-star or a superstar player.
I also giving a good kudos to the coaching staff, as they build a good chemistry inside. The players are well dedicated they love to show good competitions

Unlike with Blackwater, where it's easy to predict who will give some offense and it can easily guard by a good defender to stop the run.

With how DYIP developed trust and confidence, they are now entering the spotlight. They just need to continue what they are doing right for the future of this franchise.

The good thing with DYIP is they don't have a star player, so they are playing with good teamwork that has no pressure from the upper management as from the very start, they know what this team could only do, and they cannot compete to the big names of the PBA but they proved that expectation wrong.

Now that they are in a 3 winning streak, their confidence will continue to boost as they will believe they can beat anyone since they beat the 2 big teams in the PBA already.

Thanks for sharing the information; to be honest, I didn't even read the TOS because I knew gambling isn't legal in our country and it's not a good idea to use custodial wallets on a gambling platform. The best way is to transfer the funds to Binance or another exchange and then convert them to XRP, where the fees are very low.

It will be a huge problem for an individual if they use it and violate the TOS, because creating an account like a custodial wallet is difficult, and KYC takes a long time to be verified.

Once your name is blacklisted due to violation, you cannot make an account again under your name, you may still use the platform but under the name of another person, could be your wife, parents, or siblings and it's not convenient anymore for you, so prevention is really important, and OP did the right thing for this warning.

That's what I'm afraid of, the reason why I am very careful with using this platform as I know it could happen since some users have already posted before that their accounts were blocked when they associated their account with gambling activities. Regrets always come last, so that's right, prevention is always better and we can only do that if we are aware of the risks of what we are doing.

Let's read the Philippine Gambling laws too, it would help .

DYIP -4.5 is a good pick @1.91.

They can cover it not just because they beat two SMC recently but their opponent, Blackwater has a hellish performance on all their games this conference. I don't even think placing a bet for them +4.5 is a good pick. I don't know why bookies only gave that small line to Blackwater knowing their games are all poor.

Congrats mate, DYIP had won again and they cover that spread, they are on a 3 winning streak and they are the hottest team now, I'm sure they will continue winning and they will surprise the big teams in the PBA. Nice for them, they have a balanced attack in this win and everyone was really stepping up.

96-84 was the final score, DYIP won by 12 points.

I'm still surprised now how this team suddenly change their style and start winning. As we can see o the box score of his particular game, everyone was contributing, the scoreboard looks very balance, IIRC, no one scored more than 20 points, the highest scorer only made 10 points or a little more, but the scoring was really spread well.

I guess everyone will start using the service of mixers once the restrictions are very high. Gambling is not strictly prohibited in all countries, but once the regulators will start to regulate, then it will be easier for them to track our transactions to the centralized platforms, that's why mixers are very useful for them not to easily trace the flow of transactions.

Now, I'm waiting for the SMB's next game, I'm sure they'll bounce back, and hopefully their odds is not that low so I would not hesitate on taking them.


I also think that SMB will regroup and pinpoint what made them to lose that last game, then try to work it out and find the composure back to win those remaining games.

It's a single round, so every win is really important to all the teams who are chasing the title. They have to work harder in each game that they have and try winning it to extend their stay inside this semi bubble setup.

My consolation here is seeing both JMF and Romeo playing with much confidence, slowly but with that healthy squad they are more dangerous when the finals are nearing, just a little more time and SMB will be back stronger.

As long they qualify in the ranking and play in the elimination round, I will not doubt that SMB would upset the top seed team and they will dominate in the playoffs. It's just an ordinary game, an upset but really happening in any sport so let's move on and I'm sure SMB has moved on already and will start to train to correct their mistakes and make sure they'll win in their next game.
3575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETHEREUM WILL WORTH $10000 on: September 02, 2021, 09:17:00 PM
In my opinion, it is not impossible that etherem can reach $10k, because etherem is an altcoin that has high potential, but it won't happen in the near future, because ETH has to go through a long and gradual process, it's best to focus on the price of $5k first, because  $5k is more worthy of benchmarking later this year.
Many predictions have exceeded expectations that are impossible to achieve in this year or even next year, predictions of more than 100% are probably decent speculations for in a 1 year crypto journey, I am assuming ETH will reach $5k by the end of the year or Q1 in the next year.
$5k is easy because we already had seen ETH reach a new ATH of $4k+.. so it's just another $1k increase for a new ATH of your target. I guess we should be more aggressive with the price prediction as to when the market is bullish, no price ceiling should limit as long as it's realistic, and I think $10k is very realistic and could possibly achieve this year.
3576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 02, 2021, 08:33:31 PM
We do still need to wait for at least 4 months if that December schedule is been anticipated even though its a bit far but still it wouldnt matter as long this match would really be worth to watch and worth to wait.

I agree that there's no such much action on that Inoue vs Dasma fight and same goes with Casimero vs Rigo.We would see some full action when these two boxers would collide.

They should really make people's interest to be worth to see this one.
Yup. The wait won't matter at all as these two are champs and this match is going to be big as the other matches that we've waited before. It is incomparable with the other division matches but the wait will be worth it.

And on this match, the expectation of most of us is that there will be that much action and that's what we're about to wait. Is there already details about the venue of this match aside from the date?
Just a prediction but most likely to happen.

On Saturday, December 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, USA Naoya «Monster» Inoue will meet John Riel «Quadro Alas» Casimero for WBO, IBF, WBA (Super) and The Ring titles in a 12-round bantamweight bout
.

Source: https://champinon.info/schedule/inoue-vs-casimero/#iw-modal

I was looking at the stats, and I think Inoue's reach is a good advantage for him, Casimero is a little shorter but if they both want to slug it out, then they cannot use their advantage but would only rely heavily on their power. Hopefully, this would really be the final schedule, right now, the only thing that could prove it is if its already aired in TV and Arum make a statement about the fight.
3577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spain bans betting adds - no celebrities, no sport sponsorship, no daytime adds on: September 02, 2021, 08:11:36 PM
This is not a good approach though, I think educating people especially minors is more important than banning this kind of advertisement that could help the gambling industry grow, if they grow, the government will be able to take more taxes from them, so it could help their economy. It seems like they really emphasize under the new rules that gambling has a bad effect to people, and that they don't want to make them grow as an industry.
3578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What price range do you think DOGE will end this year? on: September 02, 2021, 12:44:36 PM
What I see on DOGE is that it's not consistent, I mean, it's just current following the market sentiment unlike before when it was of the top performers in the market. At the current rate, I don't see anything special on the movement, and it seems unlikely that it will pump anytime soon since the hype is already over. What I'm seeing now is just the investors who refuse to sell, maybe they need some time until they start to panic.

the price this year should be below 0.1 USD.

Good news for Clint Capela.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1433094202745839616?s=20
Quote
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has agreed on a two-year, $46M extension, sources tell ESPN. He had two years left on his current deal and now is under contract through 2024-2025.
Atlanta Hawks loved him for taking a big leap to Eastern Conference Finals and they are showing the love by extending his contract. This is cool.
Now he has an $82m four-year contract.

I want to thank Atlanta Hawks for that big move. They just gave what Clint Capela deserves. With that contract, I'm expecting Capela will be more dedicated to the team as a form of respect. Atlanta Hawks sees his worth and appreciate what he did especially their playoffs run that no one expects them to be in the Eastern Conference Finals.

That's a good experience for all Hawks players as next time they will be again in the playoffs, they now have experience how to handle the pressure. Suddenly, they now become one of the competitive teams in the East unlike before that they are not included in the discussion.
With that performance, Clint deserves that treatment it's a win-win for both ends, a good center who can really play well.

He helps that rally, bringing Hawks to the conference finals, that trademark he continues to be developed. That same play with Harden way back.
when he still playing with the Rockets.

Now, it's Trae who's feeding him and still converting. Just a good pass and let Clint take care of it up above the rim.


This must probably be the biggest contract in his NBA career, a well deserves contract for him as he really works hard in the playoffs and the team has been successful. If Capela was acquired by other teams, maybe he will be in the NBA Finals because of his superb performance, I already liked his performance with the rockets and I don't think he would be more effective with the Atlanta Hawks.

I missed betting on the games today.

We have 2 games.

NLEX vs Alaska. NLEX won

Base on the boxscore - https://pba.ph/recap?match=1902612.. Ravena did not anymore play in this game.

Phoenix vs ROS,  Phoenix won by 1 point only.
This one must be a thrilling game, may bad, I did not bet, I would have put my bet on the Phoenix since they badly need a win.
