@JEFE92, good luck mate, I just don't like the Wizards here, despite not having Embiid, I think the 76ers can still take care of the business. They will have to win this game, otherwise, the series will reach game 7 which they will not like since the pressure is high.

I agree with the other picks though, but since this is a parlay bet, you need the Wizards to win.

Lillard was so hot, he was fighting all night and bring the game into double OT, unfortunately, the team came out short as they have no defense on Jokic. It's a very bad move by Nurkic, he should stay patient as he is the only one who can stop Jokic in the paint.

This is the NBA playoffs game for you and we will see more of this kind of action in the second round where the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks will face each other. this is the best match so far since they both beat their last opponent with no mercy especially the Bucks where they beat the defending eastern conference champion. Game 1 will start on June 5 you better watch this first one so you will have an idea how intense the next games would be.

I agree with you, Nets have the offense, but Bucks have the best defense so far.
Giannis and Lopez could dominate the paint, I'm not sure how the Nets will stop them in the paint.
For their defense, Holiday can Guard Kyrie, while Bucks can also make some good outside shooting with the young guns and Middleton.

I can't wait to see the game 1, FYI, Nets are the favorites to win the series, they also have the home court advantage.

On the other hand, we might see some PBA players getting interested to play in other countries but still it will be the team's decision if they will get them or not.

They would get them if they have the talent, actually, we already hear some news before that some players are given an opportunity to play abroad.
IIRC< that was Romeo and Abueva getting offers, but maybe they had declined it as they choose the PBA.

It's correct, and we have an article for that.

Calvin Abueva confirms receiving Japan offer, but says not biting - yet

This offer came during his suspension in the PBA, but he is more interested to come back than go abroad to play, in the end, it still depends on the interest of the players but some players will certainly choose a good paycheck.

Speaking of Ravena brothers, we have some breaking news here!

It will be another easy win and easy money for Jake Paul, I would say he is smarter than his brother, and after this, I believe that his record will remain undefeated. How about the betting odds, is it already out?
3586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Donaire vs Oubaali - May 29 on: June 01, 2021, 01:48:23 PM
it would be nice to see the rematch against Inoue, we've seen great adjustments with the way Donire fought this match,
There were  many changes he made in his approach and Nonito Donaire made history with his win and his counters are just impressive and he is improving as he ages and that is a beauty because attain new skills when you age on how to maintain the flow is crucial when you are fighting late in their career and lets see whether he will get Naoya Inoue for the rematch but Innoue has a fight coming up as well against Michael Dasmarinas.

Inoue needs to win against Dasmarinas before discussing about this rematch, but for sure it's very possible to happen once everything was settled.

This win and having the bantamweight title gives Donaire a great privilege to call this fight, else, there are more available challenger just in case that the

talked between the two camps have some issue or some interruptions, Donaire have the right to demand and its really a great opportunities for him to extend his stay instead of retiring, he still have that power punch and he shows good adjustments.

That's right, Inoue has to respect Dasmarinas as it's a Filipino fighter with a big fighting spirit, he needs to win first then they can talk about the rematch for the unification of the belt. Donaire would always want the best in the division, and he is just waiting now.

What if this scenario happens.

Dasmarinas wins against Inoue.
Casimero/ wins against Rigo.

It will be 3 Filipino champions.. will they fight against each other.

I believe we have a lot of gamblers in the forum who loves Philippines Basketball particularly PBA, that's why I'm bringing this outside the local.

Let's discuss the current events, news, and the games here. You may also share you bets here if you want to help fellow gamblers to win or ask some opinion from our fellow gamblers here.

The PBA has a short conference only but they also have short break, so if we are betting often in this games, we can easily familiarize the teams since there are only few teams compared to the NBA.

Hopefully we can make a good and helpful discussion in this thread.

In my own observation in PBA, every time GSM will go in the finals a lot of people and arena are always fully occupied and the majority of the fans are happy to watch because of the GSM players. Moreover, there are a lot of gambling form that has been made through with this games in the field of basketball whether online or not.

GSM is still good as they won in the bubble although there are no fans, and they can still do that in the coming bubble as they have improve their line up by acquiring C. Stand. By the way, Tenorio had already joined the practice, this is a good news.

Bad move for their reputation sure. Did they had airdrop campaings maybe? Someone participated?
I'm not sure, but they have airdrop before, however, it doesn't matter now because the price will certainly sink.
They can give few airdrops but they will have to cheat the bounty hunters, not giving the huge bounty reward they promise.

Every time we talk about the project, we can never forget the cheating of bounty they've done.
It will remain until the scam accusation is solved.
3589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 29, 2021, 09:43:24 PM

Therefore my pick is Memphis +5.5

I will follow the pick, in fact, I also have Memphis winning in game 3 so I got a huge Moneyline bet as well.

About the Blazers vs Nuggets game, I would like to say advance congratulations on those who bet on the Blazers, they have fully dominated the Nuggets, they are winning every quarter and I don't think Nuggets could still have a big comeback here.

Blazers led by 22 points as of this writing.

As if the fees really are a big hindrance for the gamblers, whatever the market situation, gamblers would still continue to play and enjoy. Besides, a 10 USD fee difference is not really huge, it will not stop them from gambling
For the usual gamblers, it doesn't matter. But not every one of us has that the same situation that we don't care about the fees. There are those small gamblers that a $2-$5 fee is already a big matter to them.
They are stupid if they will force using bitcoin. We have a lot of altcoins as an alternative, they just simply use it and their worries will be gone.
With some altcoins that you can pay less than $1 as a transaction fee, gambling should not be a problem.

Let's continue having fun, regardless of the market situation.


trading is different from gambling so we should stop comparing it or making it like they should compe together when making a decision.
The comparison of gambling and trading I think will never stop. From the perspective of other people, they'll always look at both things as the same.
I agree unless they will use a stable coin in gambling.
3591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this the end of the bull market of crypto? on: May 29, 2021, 09:11:24 PM
I hope so. I am waiting for the massive market dip and dump so that I can get the advantage in the market on being on sale. I can say that I already maximized the market of being bullish that is why I am able to gain enought profits/income that I will use as capital/funds when the market becomes bearish.

I predict its not gonna happen, all this dip is bear trap, dont be greedy to accumulate from the very low point, try to accumulate from now or you will regret this dip in the future.
Its need top100 bitcoin to cashout to make another market crash and i dont expect that happen (most of them are inactive).
Yeah it is preparation for a bear trap. If you will look on the historical data of every bear trap on every bull run, the market dumps a huge percentage before soaring high and I not just talking about 20% to 30% dumps, I am talking about 50% to 60% market dump. Well, that is speculation, nothing is sure in crypto market and regret is always part of every stock market.

We are talking about going to the bull market, the situation now is that we are coming from a bull market and we are seeing some struggling times for crypto, which means the correction has started and we will see more downtrend than uptrend, hence the price will decrease and will dip.

Bucks had their sweetest revenged, they sweep the Heat by winning game 4 with a score of 120-103.
Game 1 was only the closest Heat had, this is a terrible playoff for them, I don't know if we will still see this team intact next season.

Anyway, congratulations to the Bucks for sweeping the Heat, well done.

Indeed, Giannis is still very consistent with another triple-double in this game.

20 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists, while on the other hand, we have Butler who only scored 12 points from a 4/15 shooting.

We also can't forget Jrue Holiday's contribution with another almost double-double night, just one short with an assist.

That's the worst playoffs for Butler I believe, maybe he has an undisclosed injury, I don't know. Meanwhile, the Blazers vs Nuggets started already, Blazers had a good run in the first quarter but Nuggets came back in the 2nd quarter to close the game to only 2 points now. The Joker is still consistent.
3593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon tweet again that he is supporting Crypto against Fiat on: May 29, 2021, 08:27:11 PM
He is trying but he knows it will not help the market to rise.

The price now has dipped again, bitcoin is going down and it could possibly touch below $30k this time.
We see the struggle, bitcoin after its dump will recover a bit but it will fail to break the huge resistance, which clearly tells that the market is not bullish anymore.

Elon could not do good but all negative now.
He started this one and now, better to deal with it. Even if he tweets more about bitcoin if he is not buying again then its useless because he's not the only whales playing in the market, he can't totally influence the market. I don't follow this guy tweets anymore, because I know its about time to get serious and I already have a good time joining his hype on DOGE. I have to be more careful on my money now and convert it into a more stable coin, I'm waiting for the dip now.

Not the only whales, probably the most influential whales and he just proved that people are so stupid to follow him as even DOGE which is just a meme coin has been pumped and made some significant games, people just blindly followed him, that's it.

The fight is less than 24 hours from now, we will see if the Filipino Flash can still pull the trigger and knock out Nordine and bring some glory to the Philippines again. A lot is on his shoulder right now, and I would say it's a must win for him if he wanted to become a champion again and at least have some fights and big pay check before he retires. A knock out or decision for Donaire for me.

He is the underdog on this fight. So if he will lose on this one, retirement may be next for him. The odds are good betting on him, either KO or UD. Few hours and we will watch the verdict of this fight. Excited also to know who will win on this match. Can he be the oldest champion on this division?

Been so long seeing Donaire fight again and his last fight is with Inoue right? Its long time ago and I wonder how he prepare his body for his fight since we know he will be rusty if he didn't train well for his upcoming bout. I'm curious to watch this since maybe this is make or hreak for Donaire's career since if he lost maybe its timw for him to say good bye on the hard canvass.

Both fighters have the same layoff, as you can see in https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/680900.. They both fight on the same day and venue as Oubaali vs Takuma Inoue was the undercard of the Donaire vs Naoya Inoue championship fight.
3597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 29, 2021, 12:52:02 PM
I'm happy for the Clippers, I thought they will lose in game 3 as they had a bad start, a good thing they keep attacking and they are effective on that.
Leonard and Paul George are still the top scorers for the team and good thing that Paul George did not settle a lot on 3 point shooting.

2-1 now, maybe 2-2 in game 4.
3598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 28, 2021, 09:58:03 PM
@Questat. how do you convert that odds into american odds or asian odds?

I'm a little bit confused right now.

1/1 is equal 100%, while 2/1 is 200% if divided.  Undecided

You can use this calculator https://www.aceodds.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter.html

The computation you made seemed right, but there was an error in the article, instead of 2/1, that should be 1/2 which is equivalent to 1.5 (decimal) or -200 (American).

Thanks, it's easy to convert the odds using such a calculator. We will try to look for another source regarding the odds, it might be a typo error.

This site https://www.foxsports.com/boxing/results?id=259 is more accurate but it does not provide the odds yet, so maybe that betting odds is not really accurate, otherwise, we will see another source that tells the same.

Until we see it in a legit sportsbook, that betting odds is just always a prediction.

This fight is scheduled on August, maybe it's too early for the odds to get listed and it's not as big as the Pacquiao vs Spence Jr. Fight, so we have to wait.
3599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr on Aug 21 in Vegas on: May 28, 2021, 09:27:21 PM
That's a hell of an odds for Manny, bet $1000 and you'll get $3000 in return, would you skip that guys?

I don't think that these odds are going to remain the same for more than a couple of days. As more and more fans of Pacquiao make their bets in his favor, the sportsbooks will be forced to adjust their odds. And we saw this happen during Pacquiao vs Thurman as well. Initially Pacquiao was an underdog as per betting odds, but then he rapidly narrowed the gap and eventually Pacquaio was placed with better odds when compared to Thurman. And the results also justified the adjustment in the odds.

I saw the same on Thurman fight, in the opening odds, Thurman was the favorite but it was flip when the fight schedule was approaching. However, I think this one is quite different as Spence Jr. is a heavy favorite and in terms of standing, Spence Jr. is ahead over Thurman. I would not mind actually if the odds would not change, this is good for me as I'm a fan of Manny and I will certainly put my bet on him.

I would not expect the odds will change here, I believe people are just too convinced that Spence is too much for money at his age. Maybe if he is at 30+ he will be a slight favorite here, but challenging a champion at 42 years old, there's a lot of proving to be done by Pacquiao here, or in short, he needs to shock the boxing world again.

Yeah, bad for participants but that is not unusal situation in bounty campaigns. I had many similar dissapointments but cant do nothing.

Yes, it's not but it's quite unusual for a successful project to scam its bounty hunters.
They have already what is needed to grow, listed in good exchanges and they ruined their reputation, what really is their plan?

STC is not new, they have been here for a few years and end up scamming the bounty hunters, this is very disappointing.

they have no problem with the liquidity as you can see https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/student-coin/markets/
