3601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next Bitcoin Bull Run To Be Half Story, Half Utility: Mike Novogratz At Token204 on: September 29, 2022, 08:11:51 AM
Of course it will always be the halving that is the catalyst of the next bull run. But there could be underlying factors that might have contributed to the massive spike in price.

So it might be the question as to what will be the next story for bitcoin's bull run, or where all the money will come from to push it to at least 6 digits.

Will it be bitcoin becoming as narrative "act as a reserve currency "?
3602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th on: September 28, 2022, 11:42:56 PM
Personally I think all of the jake Paul fights are staged. Go back and watch, it looks to me like his opponents are really holding back. There is a world of difference between athletic guys and champions. Jake Paul doesn't belong in there with the top guys. Just my opinion though. One thing I do like is that some mma guys that didn't really get paid during their mma careers are getting some big paydays from a glorified workout with Paul. Can't complain about that. And if people like this stuff, and want to be entertained, I have nothing against that either. If I was to bet, I would bet on Paul to win, because I think that is the predetermined outcome, but, I can see Silva accidentally pooping him one and getting the ko, so I don't think I will actually bet on the event.

Of course, what do you expect from this kind of fights? this is all for fun and money grab for them, specially for high level former fighters. But the hype they are putting prior to the fight though that makes other believed that they really wanted to take each other heads off. But when the bell rings, they are holding it back and not giving their 100% on the fight. And when the winner was announced, it could be a draw and everyone was so frustrated with the decision specially if you have a bet on it. So it's better to stay away from actually betting on this kind of exhibition fights.
3603  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency is silent why? on: September 28, 2022, 11:21:43 PM
As we can see, it is not actually a down falling trend that the cryptocurrency market is having. It is more of a sideway trend. We have been seeing Bitcoin rising and falling within the $18,000 to $21,000 range. Sometimes it goes above $21,000 but it is very temporary and the price would shortly go back within the range. This isn't silence however. The market has been growing in terms of adoption. It's just that the market is in for some boring days and weeks.

Yes, but perhaps a good baseline is the All time high we had last year and now we are ranging from $18k-$22k. And with that, there is not much money flowing in the market, and there could be a lot of sellers. But for bitcoin market, we all know that is is just temporary. But for those who see altcoin as something to be like a get rich scheme? this year could be a disaster for them. And probably regretting their decisions on investing on meme coin. And it's not that we can't take advantage of the downturn, we can, just buy and even better is to do DCA and invest on bitcoin because of the cheap price.
3604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 28, 2022, 11:02:50 PM
Another update on the undercard, Top Rank has added Nico Ali Walsh, the the grandson of “The Greatest.” He is still a bubbling Middleweight, so the future looks bright and hopefully he can carry the last name of his Grand Dad in boxing again. He will be fighting Billy Wagner, in six rounds.

It's good that we will see him fight in this under card, however, he could be pressure in his shoulder because of his last name. So we will see in the future, if he has what it takes to carry the name or simply another ordinary boxer that has the legacy in his name.
I'm not a believer of Nico Ali Walsh. Bob Arum and Walsh are just riding under the Muhammad Ali name. I am not saying that it is impossible for him to improve but so far I don't see anything special since his debut. Bob Arum cannot baby him forever, a cherry-picked opponent will soon upset him. I bet he will have a worse career than Salvador Sánchez II and Jorge Paez Jr. 

Pretty sure that Arum knows how to milk him, that's why he was added to the undercard as I have said. So he can have few wins here and there and build this name, just like what they did to JCC Jr. Fighting all tomato can and cab drivers in Mexico and once he venture into the big boys, he wasn't like his Father.

So let's see how far Nico can go with his career, he can earn millions by just by his last name. And hopefully he can go and win a belt at least to make everyone around him proud.
3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 28, 2022, 10:33:35 PM
Overtraining? I don't think it's a big issue though, I guess the real problem is the weight issue because boxers know if they are undertrained or overtrained. Anyway, it's already over, this rematch, we will see how Ancajas will make the right adjustments.

I would agree that there might be a weight issue in the first encounter that contributed to Ancajas' loss but let us also give credit to Martinez as he really performed very well that night that he captured that unexpected belt that he has now.

Yes, Martinez is also a good fighter no question about it, and he caught Ancajas with the weight issues so he should get the full credit for that big upset. He was the underdog but it didn't deter his performance and on the contrary he was very proud of his achievement so let's leave it like that.

Less than 10 days before this fight but still, my favorite bookies have not put the betting odds yet on their site, will come back three days before the fight as that's the usual time they put odds on unpopular boxers.

The usual mate, we will have to wait till sport bookies listed this fight together with other options. This fight for us is one of the most anticipated so I don't think that they are going to missed this fight.

Sorry If this is not the place to post this.

Did anyone have any experience with mrSloty.com?
there are a lot of sportbook markets, but cannot find to much info about that bookie.

All I found is that the withdrawals takes a lot of time, bout 14-20 days

Personally I haven't heard or any experience with this website. But if you are going to read the reviews here:

[1] https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.mrsloty.com

[2] https://casino.guru/mr-sloty-casino-review

And it's mostly negative reviews, and same as what you have said, the withdrawal takes more time. So that is a big no-no if you are a online gambler. So I would advise you to stir away from that website and don't play with them any more.

Kayanga dba ang weird, kaya marami na rin talaga ang hindi na gumagamit ng coinsph dahil sa napakahirap intindihin na policy nila, marami na rin ang natatakot mag pasok ng pera kasi maraming report na bigla bigla nalolock ang account nila. at katakot takot na document yung need nila iprovide para lang mabawi mo yung pera mo na pinasok sa kanila.
Kumbaga kung gusto mo gamitin platform nila need mo maging maingat dahil sobrang limited lang yung pwede mong paggamitan nito. What if? Nagiipon lang naman kayo ng kaibigan at kapamilya mo sa coins.ph mo then suddenly na lock account mo dahil na interpret nila ito as "Online Paluwagan".

Much better na lang talaga gumamit ng ibang platform para sa mga transaction natin at kung sakaling gagamitin pa rin yung coins.ph mas mabuting magdoble ingat like wag basta basta magdirect deposit sa coins.ph.

Yep. Sobrang sensitive ng coins.ph sa mga pumapasok sa wallet mo lalo na kung madalas ka magdeposit sa wallet mo. Dapat alam mo lahat ang pinanggagalingan ng funds mo para ma justify mo sa annual KYC nila na mandatory na kung gusto mo na matanggal yung custom limit.

Kaya ako sa mga exchange nlng naglalagay ng pera kung gusto ko man magconvert ng crypto to fiat dahil may P2P naman tapos electrum kapag savings purposes. Maganda lang talaga ang coins pang bili ng load.  Cheesy

Or pang bayad ng bills hehehe, credit card dati ok rin kaya lang ngayon limited na lang ang mga cards na pwedeng bayaran mo. Hindi ko sya masyado ginagamit sa load talagang pang bayad na lang sa ngayon katulad ng home credit,  Grin.

So at least hindi na sila magduda kasi pag may pumapasok na pera sa account ko eh pangbayad lang ng mga utang.

Marcus Jordan is just 19 years old, he spent a whooping $50,000 dollars in one night in Las Vegas on gambling and drinking in a strip night club...
~

People be thinking that slots machines are the new get rich quick scheme (without realizing that part - only thinking in terms of thousands of dollars).

And if by chance they won and become rich through gambling, I don't think that can sustain it for years as obviously they will try to go back to it and see if they can won again, but then realized that they shouldn't push their luck because it's not going to happen again.

The smart person knows that gambling brings at most transient wealth only - to build generational wealth requires investing or a career.

Yes, investing is the best way to build wealth that can maintain and appreciate it year by year. Not by trying to get rich by that one long shot in gambling. It's better to try your 'luck' in investing rather than putting your future in gambling, just saying. I'm not saying that we shouldn't gamble because I myself do play from time to time. But I gamble to have some fun and have a budget.
3609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 28, 2022, 12:21:31 PM
Is this match up happening or what? This topic was created last May and up to now there is no confirmation that this will go ahead. This is like the making of Mayweather and Pacquiao. Mayweather had grown his balls only the moment Pacquiao lost to Bradley and ko'ed by Marquez. Pacquiao was younger than Mayweather but he went past his prime earlier maybe because of his energy consuming aggressive fighting style against Mayweather's more relax defensive style, jab, grab and hold style.

As I have said previously, if this is going to be official then someone will have to tell the public about it. And there are speculations that this fight is already settled, but needs to iron few pointers in the contract and so there is a back and forth discussions.

But both are in their primes and undefeated, so probably this is more entertaining than Floyd vs Pacquaio because of the style of Mayweather and Pacquiao already on the downhill of his career when he fought Floyd. But Crawford and Spence is still very much at their peak.
3610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 28, 2022, 11:52:47 AM
I know Japan is a very rich country too. Japan is the third biggest economy in the world after the US and China. But I'm still wondering how they are willing to pay $20 million dollars just to see Mayweather facing a non-boxer. Or the Japanese just had a different taste when it comes to sports. I heard Rizin is very popular there and they also had superstars just like K1 before and they are paid well.

They probably very rich as they can afford Floyd, but I posted earlier about the speculation that the money or at least Rizin's head is tied up with Japanese Yakuza.

On the other hand, yesterday I read a line that Mayweather had a done deal with Connor McGregor. Must be a hoax, but not surprising considering how these athletes talk and hype themselves.

Probably just a click bait article.

By the way, Floyd Mayweather is currently in the Philippines. He must be looking for Naruto after dispatching Sakura.

Bad timing for Floyd, as it's monsoon season here so probably Naruto is hiding somewhere. Probably it's better for Floyd to hunt Godzilla if he wants challenge.  Grin

Friend of mine that works for one of the biggest hedge funds tells me the BTC is going to zero value against the USD

So another set of FUD?

But you have to think about it though, if BTC is going to zero then the whole market will collapse, so what will happen to those traditional market like stocks?

Then again, we have reach a level that government like El Salvador makes it legal tender though so I doubt that it will go from $69k->0.

Ako naman eh may alam na rin sa bitcoin bago ako nag join sa community na to, so pre-2017 at medyo malaki laki rin yun. Ganun din sa OP, nakakapang hinayang talaga lalo na nung pag pasok ko nung 2017 at nag bull run ito. Sa kaso ko hindi sugal, kundi ang natabi ko pala eh ang bitcoin address ko at hindi ang private key (hindi pa kasi ako gaano may alam tungkol dito). At kahit anong hanap ko hindi ko na talaga makita kaya kakapanghinayang pero hindi pa naman huli ang lahat at kahit paano nakapag subi naman ng konti ang nagka profit nung 2017 at nitong huling bull run.
3613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 28, 2022, 10:34:39 AM

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.



The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high.

He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still
around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team
they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown.

That's why he has a big shoes to fill since the Udoka incident. Yes, he has with the team, but as a assistant coach. And we don't know if he can exceed the expectations of the management and the players themselves.

Although he is familiar with the system, he might implement his own and this could be a big question on the players. If it don't fit well, then there could be friction, just saying. So it's better to start very closely and not expect too high for the new coach.
3614  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: September 27, 2022, 11:51:51 PM
I believe that the new era is based on the digitization of everything, as you say, for me it is an improvement because if playing in the online casino means some advantages, among them it can be the non-danger of leaving, the non-danger of running risks if you drink liquor and have to take a car to drive, while at home you can drink alcohol and play with complete freedom, if you drink too much, you will simply be at home, you will not look for problems and you will not have any of problems with authorities, even with the same casino security, I think that the digitization of casinos is a great improvement in our lives, if we see it as a way of having fun.

Without a doubt the Internet has changed our lives and this includes gambling, but at least to me the main factor why I prefer online gambling is simply the cost, gambling at a physical casino is too expensive as you have to overpay for everything like transportation, parking fees, drinks, food and you have not even began to gamble yet, and as we know the minimum bet at casinos is very high, while at online casinos, especially cryptocurrency casinos, the minimum bet is very low.

I'm not sure where you are, but parking here in a land base casino is free of charge. Well if you don't have a car, you can go take a cab and it's not that expensive and some food and drinks are free. But in any case, playing online has it's advantage.

And yeah, with the advancement of technology, everyone can play on casinos anytime they want. I still remember back then, I was awe when I entered my first casino and seeing lots of money and players around. Now, it's just regular for me and again, with internet nowadays, you can play anytime to what at your fingertips and that's how gambling evolved throughout mankind's history.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 27, 2022, 11:25:14 PM
So I thought Inoue would spend all his training time in the Wildcard Gym with Freddie Roach for the Butler fight but he left for Japan. The undisputed unification bout is expected to happen this December in Japan so there's still some time for Inoue to relax and not overtrain.

I thought the fight contracts are fully signed and official but it isn't. I hope everything in the negotiations is doing well because it's such a waste of time and effort if it won't happen. Although this looks suicidal for WBO champion Paul Butler and the venue is also expected in Japan.

I was under the impression that Butler and Inoue's camp could have agreed in 'terms' already and that this fight is going to be made in Japan Dec 13, and ESPN+ will carry the event in the early Tuesday morning U.S time. And maybe it esteemed to the fact that Inoue may have wanted to go up in weight already, but perhaps they change their mind and will chase for the undisputed bantamweight first. And for Butler, no man's land for him. He better be ready for Inoue in December as this is his biggest fight in his career, and another great pay check as well.

Ortiz though is known to be “The Technician”, hehehe. So both of them are technician, but obviously, Loma is better all around boxer, he can beat you in several ways until you quit.
3617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 27, 2022, 10:44:11 PM
Martinez turned Ancajas into a punching bag during their 1st meeting.

That was a horrible experience title defense of Ancajas in the whole history of his boxing career. He managed to survive the fight and avoid being knockout.

Since Ancajas knows the problem, they immediately work on it just a few days before this fight was announced officially. I hope their efforts will be paid off.

Yes, he has defended this belts so many times that we wasn't expected that he will become a punching bag or at least doesn't have answers to Martinez as he was outclassed. But then again, if we look at the post fight interview, we know what the problem is.

He need to make a comeback win here, we know that he is a heavy handed boxers, but he wasn't able to land a good blow because he switch his stance and then decided to ba a "boxer", which we are not used to seeing him because he is really a brawler and wanted to go toe to toe. So I look forward from Jerwin to go back to his style of fighting and hopefully he can score a knockout.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 27, 2022, 10:28:39 PM
I didn't expect the distance of the odds. I thought neither Spence nor Crawford will be the Favorites, the odds for them is just close.

Crawford at 1.6 over Spence at 2.1 just shows that bookies looked at the former as Heavy Favorites and not just the usual Favorites.

It's not even a trap to consider but either way, I will still pick Spence to win this match.
I think when the date get closer until the fight will happen, Spence odds will be higher since many people will bet Crawford. Crawford currently become top 3 pound for pound while Spence is on top 4, though it's close, but a difference is still different.

I'll watch the odds, if the odds is really small of Crawford, I wouldn't bet him since it doesn't worth for the risk. I believe there's will be a rematch sooner or later regardless who's win here.


Too early to make some bets because both odds aren't that appealing yet, and it's not yet tempting me to place some bets. The date of the fight is not yet final as we are still waiting for some finals details regarding this fight, so in any case, the odds will change up until the day of the fight. And expect that there will be rematch too, it's hard seeing an undisputed fight without a rematch from the defeated camp.

Of course, doesn't make sense to bet this early because the odds are not appealing for us. Unless you are a big fa of either boxer and willing to throw thousands of dollars this early just to get ahead of the game.

But for sure once there is a official announcement, there could be some swing bets. However, I'm not seeing any change in the odds, Crawford will remain the favorite in this fight. Just a matter how big the gap will be and then us, how are we going to take advantage about those odds. And then what kind of betting we are going to do when the other options are open to us.
3619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 27, 2022, 10:10:09 PM
I think they won't continue with Udoka because of this situation.
They did very well with Udoka last season, but this season they have to do without him.
My guess is the Boston Celtics are looking for a new coach right now.

They are not looking for a new coach, assistant coach Joe Mazzulla, very young coach for them. Big Al is even older than him and he is the same age as Danilo G. (who unfortunately is injured and can't play with the team).

And he had like 3-4 days to settle down as their new coach in this most difficult time. The team needs to heal first before they can really go one with the start of the new season which is just around the corner. So really hard for the players to digest and see them without the coach that brought them to the finals and almost win the NBA championship.
3620  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: September 27, 2022, 09:53:59 PM
^ May nabasa ako na interesado ang Bulls, Kobe White + Derrick Jones. Ewan ko lang kung papatulan ng Jazz yan. Personally, nakukulangan ako sa trade na yan hehehe.

Pero kung nangangailan ng guard at center and Jazz eh baka kagatin nila tong trade na to. At maganda rin naman ang Bulls dahil mabigat din na team to sa East. Medyo kinapos lang sa dulo ng regular season at nagkanda injured injured sila at nasira ang momentum. Kaya exit sila last 1st round ng playoff last season. Mas pabor kung 6th man ulit sila sa Bulls, either is Lavine at DeRozan ang papalitan nya.
