Today we have seen some interesting games in hambourg atp and it seems tsitsipas has no real threat to the title and its a good opportunity for him to get some points since he was out from the first round in wimbeldon and today he won with ease 2 0 against koepfer and he is in his way to win the title.

Right, Tsitsipas won in straight sets and I would say that he didn't spend too much energy on that win. He will be facing Krajinović, might extend to 3 sets though, but still Tsitsipas for the win, this is already a Quarter-Final match.

Delbonis vs Ramos Vinolas will be the game to watch, Delbonis is the favorite to win 1.59 odds. But probably -2.5 will be a good bet on him, - 1.89.

Tsitsipas is going well in Hamburg, I am backing him again against Krajinovic
after a poor wimbledon tournament he will be again looking at a Hamburg final.

I'm not betting on the Delbonis v Ramos Vinolas match, for me I cant make my
mind up, too close. Both very good players so should be another great match.



Im backing Krajinovic in this match finally finding form and when he is on his top game it will be really rough for Tsitsipas to beat him. I think this will be a really intresting match and such a low odd on Tsitsipas. Krajinovic should win at least a set and thats a really huge odd

Thanks for your analysis, I' also thinking it could go 3 sets or at least 2 sets with a tie-break (either one).

So I'm going on Over 20.5 in this match. I don't think that Tsitsipas can simply blow away Krajinovic here. He will battle it out that's for sure. Although Tsitsipas is the favourite to win, it won't be that easy win and it's possible that Krajinovic can pull some upset too.

In any case, Manny being the underdog is good for us.

I think Manny will remain an underdog even on the actual fight, lots of Americans will bet on Spence as he is the younger and the bigger guy, and champion as well. We believe in our countryman and since he is a "pambansang kamao",  we should support him no matter what.

Well that's what they said on Pacquiao vs Thurman, younger and bigger guy and an American. But Pacquiao won and even knock down Thurman. So yes, it's good to see that Pacquiao being the underdog again and he could be underestimated by Thurman.

So it's a win-win for us who supported Pacquiao, good odds, at least 2.x will not be bad if that is the line as the fight draws near. And if he win then for sure we're going to celebrate again.

There will be no implications as almost the majority here thinks that Hal is not Satoshi.

It just so happened that he was one of the pioneer and even spoke to Satoshi several times in email and then was rewarded with bitcoins, which he didn't claimed and have been lost forever. Yes, he is a brilliant mind, unfortunately, he died to early because of ALS.

Seems a bit like a marketing ploy to gain traction with their token.

Fact of the matter is that most people won't have access to their ETH wallets from that long ago or can't be arsed to go and claim it. The liquidity in these FOX markets are also very poor - if everyone rushed to exchange their tokens there is nowhere near enough depth in the orderbooks to catch the market orders.

Great for Shapeshift's PR, but I doubt many will actually benefit. Congrats though OP.

Yeah, marketing ploy, I think many has move out of Shapeshift specially when they have KYC mandatory. But I heard that they have removed it totally, however, I'm won't go back to use their services again. Many years actually, so If I'm interested, I have to go back and try to look for my shapeshift access and see if I'm eligible. If not then no spoil milk for me.

Game is in 3 days, where do go we go from here Huh The line is currently in favor of the Suns and it's -4.5 for them.

If we follow the pattern, I think we should go for the Suns in game5 because whoever has the homecourt advantage won so far in this series and they always cover the spread so Suns -4.5@1.9 is the way to go but on the other hand the Bucks have already found the confidence they needed that might offset the homecourt advantage  Smiley.



Nice analysis, why go against the home court when the trend is not broken yet?

Of course, I will follow you with that, Suns will win and cover, that's the only possibility I see.

Nice series so far, I thought it will be boring as the Suns already had control after game 2, but no, the Bucks surprised us, and Giannis and company bounced back.

Yes, as the saying goes, don't go against the flow, so why not bet on Suns to cover the spread -4.5 next game as they will be in their home court. So it's now even, but the home court teams seems to be holding and for sure Phoenix will be the favourite game 5.

Expect Giannis to missed a lot of free throws, because the countdown chant will be waiting for him. And now that that series is tied 2-2, this finals turns out to be an exciting one.

I think Ayton with 17 rebounds did his job on the glass, but he’s gotta do better shooting from the field than that. No excuse for only scoring 6 points. He puts up his usual % from the field and it’s a tie game. The Suns have ridden DeAndre hard all playoffs and I think they need to go to him and let him punish Giannis down low if they want to win. Next game this Saturday. It will determine who has their back against the wall…

He has some good looks I think in the first quarter when they had a switch, I think it's against Jrue Holiday or Pat Connaughton and surprisingly, they didn't foul him. I don't think he can do one on one against Giannis though, and usually when he got the ball in the middle, he was double or even triple team. Credits to the Bucks for that come from behind victory, I thought that the Suns have it in their bag, but the Bucks becomes aggressive and hit those critical shots specially Middleton.
3627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 15, 2021, 09:43:33 AM

Delbonis vs Ramos Vinolas will be the game to watch, Delbonis is the favorite to win 1.59 odds. But probably -2.5 will be a good bet on him, - 1.89.
Delbonis is favourite and Vinolas is a very fit player on clay, I think this match will going to be a pretty tight match, Their H2H is 5-2 and Delbonis leads.
I more prefer to choose over 21 games with odd 1.6 for this match.

I haven't check the odds as of now, so not sure if I'm going to put a bet or right. Interesting though that Ramos-Vinolas is rated on this tournament while Delbonis is not and then the odds favor Delbonis.

So probably Delbonis to win, in 3 sets if Ramos-Vinolas is that good (or rated). But we all know that Delbonis has been playing good tennis in the tournaments that he has entered. So I wouldn't be surprised if he pull a win here.
3628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: USA Basketball loss odds on: July 14, 2021, 11:20:48 AM
All books that I looked at had 10+x odds on Nigeria.

I'd actually expect the US to be quite underpriced as favourites going forward. It is clear that they're going to be a lot stronger going forward as they should have been woken up by these two losses. But people tend to have recency bias and think that they're weak.

They're still the best team by far - don't forget that. Anything over 1.1x on them are great odds in the Olympics.

Yeah, most likely this will be the odds @10.00 for Nigeria to win.

In any case though, Nigeria has some NBA players in their roster that's why they were able to 'upset' US. There were video of Precious Achiuwa of the Miami Heat denying KD of a dunk. And I think that dictates the tempo of the game already.

3629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: July 14, 2021, 09:31:58 AM
Still the exciting Casimero will be the favorite, and I wanted him to destroy Rigo in this fight. So that there will be no doubt about him facing the winner of Inoue vs Donaire. And it could be inevitable to see Filipinos unifying the belt if Casimero and Donaire wins.
Im rooting for Casimero to win but its not going to be easy I think. Rigondeaux in his previous fights are not an easy opponent showing his strength and his fast move, Casimero need to condition himself and think of strategy to have an edge over Rigon. This is a fair fight and unpredictable.
Rigo is more of a defensive power, and I would say that he is no longer in his prime, he is old already and that might affect his reflex and speed. And Casimero, with his aggressive can land some good punch on Rigo's chin and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down, or become so defensive that it will be a boring fight or maybe he will quit on his stool just like when he fought Loma.

I think everyone is rooting for Casimero to win, he is so brandish and arrogant but he can bring that talk in the ring and possible to knock out Rigo here. If I'm not mistaken, there were a lot of word war in the social media prior to this fight. So it makes this match very exciting and for sure Casimero will be bringing his A-game. And I do hope that Rigo still possesses that speed and we might see him frustrate Casimero on some rounds because he tends to turtle up and play "you can't hit" me.
3630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 14, 2021, 09:01:35 AM
It's possible, they have the momentum, and it will be in their home court. And Giannis is playing like a true MVP so it will be a good NBA finals that we are seeing.
For me, the Suns are still favorites in this series, and I hope CP3 will be able to win the first title in his career. Nevertheless, I agree with you that Giannis looks like MVP. If he scores 40+ points again in the upcoming game, he most likely will be nominated as MVP of the NBA final regardless of the outcome of this series.

I think CP3 will probably take MVP honors if the Suns win but I don’t think DeAndre Ayton’s impact can be stressed enough. He needs to stay out of foul trouble and they should take the next one. If Giannis does manage to bring the Bucks a championship though, he’s the clear MVP. I’m glad this series has become competitive, but I would’ve liked to have seen the Suns in 4.

Agree, Ayton still lack of experience on playing against veteran player on defending. Booker has more impact rather than him besides CP3 ofc. I wonder if Giannis can maintain this kind of performance through out game 7 because it's very exhausting to do this continuosly especially hits him on one there games.

That's why he is called the Greek Freak, he is really something isn't it? I have seen him in game 1 and game 2 taking huge breaths so it means he is really tired, but as you can see he is performing very well in this series with 40+ point performance.

Ayton said though that he is getting better because of CP3 help, he just needed another positive reinforcement to have a good game. Will be a good match up against Giannis, but I still think that he can score and rebound more. Let's see next game, either CP3, Booker and Ayton need to have a good game.
3631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 14, 2021, 07:58:47 AM
I'm betting on the over 221.5 @1.89.
I'm betting the other way, I'm expecting game 3 as a low scoring game as the Bucks will put more defense since they are playing a do or die game, if they lose this, then their series is likely over, so they need to put more defense and should not allow the suns to get more open shots.

That was quite a close one, If only the 4th Quarter had produce a few more points.

Yeah, I thought that they can still make the over 221.5, it's just one shot either two or three will make it for me. Unfortunately, in the last 4 minutes they are a lot of bad shots on both teams, still horrendous shooting.

I haven't bet on the next game, but I will go for the Bucks a well -4.5. Still thinking the over/under again, probably will go for the under as @danherbias07 advise.
3632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the London hard fork will lead to a recovery in the crypto asset ma on: July 12, 2021, 08:22:30 AM
After the 5.19 plummet, entering July, the market gradually came out of the downturn, the price of defi assets generally rose, and the circulation of stablecoins on the chain also showed an upward trend. Will the upcoming Ethereum London hard fork upgrade on the 8.4th be one of the driving forces for the market to rise?
I don't want to speculate but something tells me it might be a good assumption for next catalyst events for the market. Right now it's a bit choppy and still on the unknown territory so better wait for it and besides we may never know if the upgrade was also good enough for deployment or we may see some problems again.

For the altcoin market? Yeah it could be, it's one of the most anticipated event and hopefully investors are going to buy into this hype. But the problem is that the schedule keep being push through, maybe they want to have a 'perfect' system or it is obviously not ready.

We need something to cheer up the market again, although the price of ETH has been steady, it seems that we have been in a boring lately as the market just moves in sideway patterns. If there is a break out run that we are all been waiting, maybe this is the event that will liven the ecosystem again.
3633  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will China's crackdown on Bitcoin cause Bitcoin to become worthless? on: July 12, 2021, 02:47:45 AM
As we all know, in the cryptocurrency market, Chinese account for a large portion. So what impact will the Chinese government's total blockade of Bitcoin have on the cryptocurrency market? The sharp drop in the price of Bitcoin is the result we have seen, so after this blow, can the price of Bitcoin return to its peak, or will it fail? What do you think? I am confused now, hope someone can answer it for me.
This scenario looks like 2018, but market conditions have changed greatly,... I believe history will not repeat itself. Bitcoin mining hashrate is increasing rapidly in recent days. It is one of the great signals to continue to be optimistic about the overthrow of Chinese influence and domination.


No, doesn't look the 2018 to me, scenario is different that time, if there is an FUD that involves China, it's March of 2017 if I'm not mistaken wherein there went hard on several Chinese crypto exchanges and there are misconception that time that they are going to ban bitcoin, but instead it was the ICO that they came hard that time.

I disagree though, the hash hate is dropping hard because some of the minings have pulled their plugged already because of the Chinese crackdown.

it is the Men Final at Wimbledon and Berrettini is playing fantastic.

He was 2-5 down at one stage but he just won the first set on a tie-break: 7-6 (7-4)

edit: Djokovic wins his 20th Grand Slam event at Wimbledon 2021


Yes!!!, as I have seen what the match will turn out, first set will be critical and luckily Berrettini won via a tie break.



But Djokovic is very compose and we all know that sometimes he dropped the first set and then make the match more exciting by his strong finished.

Is there any extra significance of $33,500 that Bitcoin breaking it could mean more than what is currently happening?

Nothing.

The price movements of Bitcoin for the past few weeks are somewhat boring. The charts are generally showing a sideway movement. But despite this, I am still looking at the big possibility that one of these days the bullish sentiment of Bitcoin would suddenly translate into a huge price rally.

Same here, I'm still thinking that we might see another big rally that will push the price after this boring and sideways pattern that we have been seeing for the last 3 months if I'm not mistaken. Investors are just waiting, and if there will be another FOMO, we might see a repeat of the super fast rally last year before the end of the year.

The game has started already, Berrettini going for a break point game 3 has failed as Novak come back after a 30-0 deficit. Berrettini serving, I do hope that he will hold serve to make the first set very exciting.

I have him winning one set in this finals @3.65. I know that it's going to be very difficult, but the first set will be the biggest test for him.
3637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 11, 2021, 12:05:57 PM

Bookies are sometimes wrong, many times Bucks are overvalued but they play a bad game. Getting into 0-2 hole will motivate them to win in game 3, but if they will not adjust or improve in all aspects on the floor, we might still see the same result in game 1 and 2. Maybe we think that Bucks will win in game 3 because it's a must, not because they will play well.

Being down by 3 games would put them in great danger, they need to take this game with high pressures, they need to create system that will allow them to adjust on both sides.

Not only in their offense but more on their defense, they need to put each defenders that will really delayed Paul and Booker.

Learn from how Clippers take this putting Beverly and Mann too close not to allow Booker to get his confidence in the early minutes of the game, this is the finals and Bucks needs to show why they are here now and why they deserve to compete with the title.

Unfortunately, the Bucks don't have a Beverly kind of defender, but they have Holiday and Tucker which could improve in game 3. However, it's still a good team performance that is needed, it cannot be just these two who should perform their best because their opponent is also looking to play hard to win every game, everyone on the Bucks has to contribute, and having consistency is very important.

I think the best series that PJ play is against Durant, but it seems that he has a hard time defending either Paul or Booker because Phoenix uses a lot of pick and roll to free them or look for the mismatch. I remember one instance in game 2 wherein they find Tucker guarding Ayton under the rim and he has to give up a foul to stop Ayton. So that's how good the Phoenix team are.

I'm betting on the over 221.5 @1.89.
3638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 11, 2021, 11:07:04 AM
The current odds for Djokovic is @1.19 and Berrettini @4.20.

For some strange reasons though, I can't put a bet on Berrettini at +5.5, now the odds are slipping away to 1.77. And since is the finals, I think Berrettini will try to fight it out and I don't think that Djokovic can cover the -5.5 @2.20 spread, just like his match against Shapovalov. So I'll pass on this. But for me, this will be Djokovic title this year.

As we know that ELON MASK is a big factor in crypto industry so i think this meeting will play a vital role also. I see this meeting with positive side and waiting for what happened next Grin Grin

That is, if Elon Musk changes his stance on bitcoin specially about bitcoin mining. Otherwise, this is just moot meeting and I don't see it will have a drastic impact on the market. Jack Dorsey though is a willing participant here. But if Elon Musk insist that bitcoin is harmful to the environment then there's nothing that Jack can do to sway his belief.

But probably more crypto enthusiast are going to tune in and wanted to hear Elon Musk. Specially when he started spewing things that he doesn't have knowledge (bitcoin mining).
3640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 10, 2021, 09:49:18 AM
Just like in the previous series, Giannis always owned the offense for the Bucks which is not actually good.

Lopez, Holiday and even his duo Middleton are missing in action. The rotation is just fine but I don't know what's the missing link.

Whatever it is, I'm expecting for them to make adjustments on Game 3, as it was really necessary to do so. Being down at 0-2 is really nothing to me but down by 0-3 is now a serious matter and almost closed from losing the series.

Bucks in 7 lol.

But they have to come and play and become aggressive and stay away from a 0-3 deficit against the Suns in the next game. Yeah, specially Middleton, it is expected of him to really help Giannis in the finals but so far he is missing in action.

While the Suns with CP3 and Booker are pulling away with huge margins in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and that makes Bucks playing the catch up since Phoenix is really very good at protecting at lead, even a 3 point lead can balloon to 7 and then double digits advantage for them in matter of minutes.
