An update regarding the Sarver incident. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34600876/phoenix-suns-minority-owner-jahm-najafi-calls-robert-sarver-resignationPhoenix Suns vice chairman and minority owner Jahm Najafi, the team's second-largest stakeholder, called for majority owner Robert Sarver's resignation in an open letter to team employees released on Thursday night, saying there should be "zero tolerance'' for lewd, misogynistic and racist conduct in any workplace. So that's how they punish their majority owner. NBA should learn from this. A ban and $10 million fine is not enough, and what's worst is they just punished him with just 1 year so next year he can do it again. He should step down. That's the right thing like what Jahm said in his open letter. Just imagine how awkward it will be when he goes back and does these things again in the shadows. I doubt it would just be awkward. Probably a majority of the employees won't want to work with him in any capacity. He should sell the team ASAP if he has any sense. Having him as an owner going forward will hurt the team's ability to sign free agents and keep their stars. I promise you that none of the Suns players want their paychecks signed by some racist asshole. I agree, I don't see any awkwardness, the report has been released Robert acknowledge his mistakes. And perhaps, those black employees for sure will want to distant themselves with their boss now. CP3 has spoken and for sure the whole Phoenix Suns, regardless of their color doesn't want to work this him anymore. Is it the NBA's job to make sure their owners are good people? No. In free markets the Suns would suffer as a result of this discovery by loss of talent and value. I applaud Adam Silver for this approach, and hope the players/employees/owners of the Suns continue this push to not stand for this. Everyone knows Sarver doesn't deserve to be an NBA team owner at this point, but removing him the right way should be the goal now and it seems like that's happening.
But they shouldn't tolerate it, this is just like a slap on the wrist. And as much as we applaud Adam Silver, the punishment is not enough. For sure Suns management will be affected by this issues, the players themselves and may want to owner to be removed completely. There could be a movement inside the NBA right now that is pushing for this one. |

With what is happening, PBA will surely find a way to make changes to improve the league, they might not be able to match the salary standards offered by B-League and other leagues overseas, but they have to find a way to make players stay by adding more teams to accommodate more players, that way we won't easily notice who leaves the PBA due to lots of good players still in the league.
That will not stop top cagers to play offshore though. You can add teams but what top player will play if they get better offer sheets from leagues abroad. Those teams will just be filled with mediocre players. Some will say that it is not all money but considering that athletes have expiry date on their productivity, most will choose to have higher pay even if they play abroad rather than in pba. If we look on the positive side of it, our players get exposed to international experiences. They come back here a better player. We can always call them to play for gilas when the our country needs them. Yes, if they are getting better pay, then obviously they sign on any league for that matter. And it could bring into the attention of the team owners, although they can't match what other league can offer, at least be competitive enough so that PBA players won't think of leaving our league and play somewhere. Some may question the players loyalty, and then it's all about the money. But it is what is it, they have careers and they have to protect themselves to get as much value as they can get before they retire. |

As others have mentioned, online crypto gambling in the beginning is fully anonymous, it was in its early years. And when crypto specially bitcoin attracted the attention of regulatory bodies specially in 2017, wherein there is a massive change from exchanges to gambling platform, everything is now requiring KYC. But if I'm not mistaken, there are still casino's that only requires KYC when you reaches certain threshold of withdrawals. But in any case, you should be ready for your documents as you might be ask one day by your favorite casino for your personal documentations.

Palagay ko baka konti na lang din ang epekto ng merging ng Ethereum sa market dahil nga nasa bearish sentiments parin tayo.
Medyo di nga nag-build up ng hype. Saka in the first place, wala naman talagang direktang epekto ang merge sa market price ng ETH. Saka iyon nga gaya ng sabi mo, natapat sa current trend kaya struggle din. Long-term talaga makikita ang resulta. Gaya ng event na Bitcoin halving nga di ba, pag malapit na ang halving, walang masyado paggalaw ng price kahit sobrang hype. Nakita lang natin ang pag skyrocket ng price after ng maraming buwan. Not saying parehas sila ng mangyayari sa ETH pero puwede gawing reference kung para sa pagbuo ng speculation lang din. Its all about the technology kasi yung sa merge ng ETH. Sa ngayon magandang step na yun from POW to POS for sure may ibang coins din ang shift to POS if nakita nilang successful ang shifting ng ETH. About sa market naman ng ETH tingin ko hindi masyado gumalaw kasi nga nasa bear season tayo ngayon at maraming takot mag pasok pa ng pera pero in the future tingin ko mag take effect din sa market yung merging ng ETH. Actually gumalaw ng konti ang presyo ng merkado halos mag $2k sila at na reach naman ng BTC eh $22,500. Kay lang talaga ang announcement patungkol sa CPI ang naka apektado nitong mga nakaraang araw kaya madugo na naman market at hindi na rin natin naramdaman ang ETH merge. So balik na naman tayo sa lower bound ng $20k, actually below na naman nga ngayon kaya baka sa iba maiinis na makita ang presyo pero ganun talaga dahil nasa bearish cycle pa tayo. |

And this is the latest update: BoxingScene.com has learned that talks between Errol Spence and Terence Crawford have resulted in both fighters agreeing to terms in principle. The matter is now in the hands of their respective legal teams to button up final details, with hopes that a deal will be signed by both parties in the coming days.
Once finalized, the welterweight superfight is expected to headline a November 19 Pay-Per-View event from MGM Grand Garden Arena, according to multiple parties familiar with such talks.
https://www.boxingscene.com/spence-crawford-agree-terms-principle-undisputed-welterweight-championship--169072So this is good news for us boxing fans, when we thought that the fight is not going to happen, they made some significant headway and as per reported, they have agreed to terms in principle. Meaning that they just have to put that verbal agreement into paper, both legal counsel working together to settle everything. And when it's ready, and it should not take that long, then the fight is official. |

And we will see if someone if bluffing, and if either camp are really interested to make the fight. Or Joshua wanted it but he needs some tune up so there will be no fight at least this 2022. So we will see, all roads still goes to Tyson Fury in the end.
Which, might I add has happened before between these guys. There was a lot of speculation, and finger pointing, and it seems that it wasn't actually Joshua's fault last time. You could probably put the blame on Fury if you wanted too, but ultimately that court case was out of his control. However, you would've thought they'd not make any agreements knowing that the case could go either way. Ultimately, I do think it was for publicity, and for building a story, as I suspect they would've had some sort of idea how that hearing would've played out. Obviously, that hearing also created a storyline for the last Wilder vs Fury, because so many fans were gutted that the Fury vs Joshua fight didn't happen. So, I'm always sceptical of how boxing works, since I know they try anything, and everything for marketing. Somewhat the reason why I've stopped following it as much as I did a few years ago. And also if I may add as well, this fight could have been made, if not for the court case and then Joshua losing 2 fights on Usyk. But there are still financial incentives for them, again in the story line of all British fight and it should be held on their soil. So if we are going to look at it, perhaps they have agreed upon before. So there should be no hindrance this fight if the fight is going to happen. There are dates and venues already, it's just not everything in paper and sign by this two fighters. |

^ There is really something wrong with Jerwin in that fight against Martinez. It's not that he change his style and decided to be a brawler, I'm not saying that it's an excuse, but perhaps the weight as they have confirmed already is the biggest factor for their lost. Now, they have the rematch at hand, they know what they did wrong in the first fight. So it's either Jerwin win convincingly so that it won't cast any doubt, or if he losses again, there should be no excuses. And the next fight should be in the higher weight for Jerwin.

Have you ever had an experience betting in which you knew that you were going over the limits of you finances and still continued? I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it. It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.
I think one time or another, we have undergone this experience in our gambling history. We set our limits, and put enough money and then we play. But suddenly, we are hooked and we really don't know what is happening because we can't control ourselves as if someone is taking our body and telling us to continue. So yeah, I do agree that it's easy for us to really fall into this bad habit and I must admit that I become addicted to gambling even prior to involving myself in crypto and if even made me worst. But at least, now, I seldom play or gamble, just enough sports betting here and there. |

I think this is an issues that has been around for some time and I’m not sure all the new legal gambling in places like the United States really is making a big difference in the rise or mobile gambling. I think it comes down to parents doing a better job raising their children and teaching them about the dangers of excessive gambling and doing a better job monitoring them.
Parents as well as schools since most kids are spending longer hours at school with their friends than at home with their parents. A big challenge for this is not only that minors can easily declare themselves to be at a legal age online, they're also mostly given privacy at home. Parents are often respecting their children's space and boundaries so much so that it is somehow rude for them to check their kids' phones. I guess it boils down to the culture, In Asia, children are being taught to respect their elders. And in turn elders or parents can snoop on their children without having their kids calling the cops or something like in the West. But I do agree that parents is one factor that really shape the minors. If they see that their parents are playing around with their smart phones, for sure they could be influence and might play their parents phone or them registering and gambling when their parents is not around. |

He just recently retired so I think Manny's body is still very much can fight at this point. His fighting weight is around just 147 lbs though and throughout his career, he went as high as 154 lbs. So I'm not sure if he can fight at the higher weight since most former fighters really gain so much weight after they hang their gloves, but not Manny Pacquaio as he is really gifted genetically to have more lean mass than fats. So we will see against this Youtuber, for sure Manny will not give his full power to the South Korean, he might just used around 50%-80% just to see how he will react to his power, hehehe.
You are correct and I agree with it. Manny Pacquiao is so strong that he can even fight today. But the problem is, he becomes not focused anymore on his training because of lots of things he is doing. If he just focuses on maintaining shape, he can even fight against the prime Errol Spence Jr. and Terrence Crawford. That leads now to his body not being pushed anymore. Manny is now more relaxed compared to doing his usual training since he started doing politics many years ago. He even won some of his fights even doing politics so just imagined if he doesn't involve in politics or many other things and just focused on boxing even at his post-prime age. But we have seen how Manny zone in when he is fighting someone, he take a leave of absence in the Philippine Senate and go on like 8-10 weeks or training and we have seen videos of him pushing himself and with that every sweat we know that he will give it 100%. That's why I believed he can still fight anyone, but would rather test exhibition matches first. The money is there for sure as he still has a lot of boxing fans around the world, not just Filipinos that for sure will watch his fight against the South Korean youtuber. |

Kayang, ako nga level 3 na dati.... nag pasa ko ng KYC ulet kayalang after a month nag email nanaman sila sakin hinihingian nanaman ako ng KYC.... since hindi narin naman ako active sa CoinsPH hindi na ko nagpasa ulet ng KYC... binalik nila ko sa level 2... simula kasi nagkaroon ng P2P si Binance direct sa bank or sa Gcash na ko kaya di ako worried kahit alisin ni Coins ang account ko.
Mas ok na yang level 2 ka kesa naman tulad sa amin na mga level 3 pero custom limited yung mga accounts namin at alam mo kung magkano? P25,000 kada buwan na cash in. Kaya mas mataas pa ang level 2 na may P100,000 na limit kesa sa mga level 3 pero KYCed ngunit naman na custom limit mga accounts naman. Kaya swerte na rin yung mga level 3 custom limit accounts pero binalik yung dating limit ni coins. Panget rin pala kung nag-address verification ka pero pinababa yung withdrawal and deposit limit. Parang unfair since mas mababa pa ito kesa sa level 2 na mga account. Buti sakin nung tinamaan ako ng enhance verification nila, hindi nila ginawang custom limit kaso binalik nila ako sa level 2 dahil ni-reject nila yung address verification document na sinend ko. Anyways, Gusto ko din malaman kung ginagamit mo pa rin yung coins.ph mo lalo na sa withdrawal sa mga gambling site tulad nang nasa signature campaign natin since na-apektuhan yung coins.ph account mo dahil dito. O sa ibang platform ka na nagwiwithdraw ng funds mo sa campaign earnings mo like binance? Salamat! Kung pwede ko tong masagot, since sa campaign natin eh direcho sa account natin, mas maganda i rekta mo na to sa Binance at wag na lang sa coins.ph. Wag mo na isugal at tiyak yan baka mga una or mga ilang withdraw mo eh successful, baka magulat ka na lang na biglang may email na naman sayo. Kaya ayun Binance tapos p2p Gcash, smooth hehehehe. |

If we based it in their recent performance, having Westbrook in the line-up won't definitely help them and might be best if they will acquire another point guard that is much more reliable. But it seems that Darvin Ham has another game plan if the Westbrook remains in the team, and that's what I wanted to see because the Lakers should just accept their defeat when they acquire Westbrook and just give the man his chance as this will be his last season based on his contract.
Westbrook is not only the reason why the Lakers failed last season. Almost all of them are the reason, from coach, players, and their bench. There are times that Westbrook is ending up with good stats in that game but it doesn't recognized. The injuries of their main players are also one of the reasons. That's what I'm trying to say as well, it's really hard to pinpoint what is the exact reason for the Lakers bad performance after a big hype because Westbrook join them. And then the injuries to major player, others who have been kept like THT didn't perform as expected. But the thing is, since Westbrook is the only one out there that play a lot of games, and so it seems the blame is on him. We can only see if Westbrook is really a problem if he will able to play with Lebron James and Anthony Davis in a complete game in a whole season. Westbrook played 78 games last season and he was part of the starting lineup in that 78 games. He is more healthy than Anthony Davis that even consistent in good numbers, that was all useless as he was always injured a becomes a soft big guy.
That could be the best scenario, all of them being healthy throughout the season to see the full potential of the team with Bron, Davis and Westbrook. If chances are Davis gets injured again, then they will be again in a difficult situation because Bron and Westbrook will have to carry the team on this shoulder. |

Chips.gg is celebrating their second anniversary with some bonuses and promotions. They have sent an email today which it is related to 20% rakeback boost. Perhaps, everyone is eligible for this rakeback boost. Chips.gg casino was created in 30th August of 2020, but they made the announcement here on 21st September. They are running $100k wagering contest to celebrate their anniversary, there are few more bonuses available: https://chips.gg/anniversaryThe number of activities is very low in Chips.gg ANN thread. OP hasn't provided any update here about their anniversary celebrations. Did they lose their interest from bitcointalk community? Im one of its signature campaign participant back in the past but sadly they had stopped it which does indicate that they arent getting much players or sign up of this forum and they had focused into other way of marketing? We dont know but since they are still in operation then it does signify that they are doing pretty well.Time do really flies fast and 2 years was just like nothing. Chips.gg ANN thread might not really be that active but they are still doing pretty well in behind.Its their choice though if they've decided to be on this way. I don't know but for me personally as also a gambler and a forum user? i find their name non attractive at all , I mean there is a lack of interest in submitting myself in entering nor creating account in this site. it is not that they are not trustworthy but maybe appeal is one of the reason why they lost interest in promoting from this forum. But still happy 2nd anniversary for Chips.gg and more years and players to come. You have your own preferences and so do other casino players. As a player of this casino, I am actually satisfied with their services and promotions especially the chips earnings every time we wagered on their site. Earning chips and staking it can benefit us with dividends, and earnings from the Casino's daily profit of stake. Its been too fast, it was like yesterday when they had an announcement in this forum and now it is already a 2nd year anniversary. Happy Anniversary Chips.gg and echoing the greetings of other members here in the forum. Yes, I have a account on them when they started and I would say it's good design and I won some on their casinos. But now I'm not longer active on their platform though, not that I didn't find them attractive or I have a bad experience, I guess it's more on a lot of competition and new platforms that I want to explore as well. And as you have said, time fly so very fast that it's already 2 years since they make this name in this community. This event really indicates that they are still very strong, despite a lot of new online casino and old one in this very niche market. Maybe I will revisit them again one of this days. |

^^ Loma has already proven that even if he is out for sometime his mentality and skills are still the same. When he had that shoulder injury he had operated, and for a year he doesn't have a fight because he needs to recuperate. And then when he comes back, he didn't choose any easier fight, it was against Nakatani who gave Lopez his biggest test before he beat Loma. and then he followed it up with a destruction of former champion Richard Commey. So we should expect the same if not the best version of Loma in this fight, as he is about to hit his peak performance at his age right now. I'm not seeing any ring rust that will put him in danger in this fight.

Agree with that, whoever wins on the fight between Kambosos and Haney will be a good match with Loma. As long as Loma wins the fight, for sure we can expect a good fight later this year or next year from him. However, there's a possible hindrance, if Kambosos wins the right, promoters might think of a trilogy, that means the fight against Loma is not going to happen soon.
I don't think there is a 3rd fight in the horizon, even if Kambosos will win. Haney will have to wait for this turn again. The good thing is that this 3 boxers are under Top Rank, so everything can be iron out in cases Kambosos win. And for sure Bob Arum will prioritized Loma vs Kambosos first because financially, it will make more sense to make at that point (assuming Loma will win and there will be no upset). And then the winner will likely get Haney, so it's like a tournament between the two and it's the luxury that they are in one promotion, so Davis and Ryan and anyone who wants the belt will be the last option for Arum, in house money all the way for Bob!!!. |

Manny is no longer in his prime, what we have is just memories of those run when he was in top of the game for many years. No one can escape Father time not even the great and elite fighters. At least when he lost to Ugas, he knows when to stop and focus on other matters like the PH Presidential election in which he lost badly. And then the news of his return thru exhibition match against a South korean if I'm not mistaken.
Well, all of those boxers will eventually fall, victims to that, getting older and past their prime, kind of thing, and next in line could be GGG or Canelo, but certainly, fans want to see more of them inside the ring but eventually, they can not escape faith, Well, you are saying DK Yoo, the South Korean, Martial Artist, Youtuber, Bruce Lee Wannabe, and amateur Boxer Wannabe fighter that is about to take on an 8 division champion boxer Manny Pacquiao this guy is totally screwed but at least there is a ton of money involved here when the fight is finished, Yes, that is just how the life works and it is inevitable because they cannot stay on the top spot forever and eventually, they will be replaced by the younger boxers who will become new elites in their own phase and time. DK Yoo cannot reject this kind of fight as he will be getting paid big time while getting the honor in fighting a legendary boxer, Manny Pacquaio. Also, I'm sensing that Pacquiao has chose DK Yoo as a tune-up fight before he sets a bigger fight soon, still he has to test the water first to be safe even if it's just exhibition fight. He just recently retired so I think Manny's body is still very much can fight at this point. His fighting weight is around just 147 lbs though and throughout his career, he went as high as 154 lbs. So I'm not sure if he can fight at the higher weight since most former fighters really gain so much weight after they hang their gloves, but not Manny Pacquaio as he is really gifted genetically to have more lean mass than fats.

KYC and then you have to bet at least 1x on the amount you deposit, but yeah I do agree that it is not enough to stop someone to mix their tainted cryptos to any casinos. So there is a grey area here, maybe casino's are flag when they see huge deposits coming in, just like in a land base casino, when certain whales comes in play, he got the attention of the manager. And I will speculate though that there could be individuals who get away with it, using casinos, hasn't raise anything and then simply play that wager requirement and then win or lost, withdraw their money. So it will be on the casino's to really be on alert on anything that is suspicious.

No doubt about that, if you will review their previous fights and the way they finished or beats their opponents.
Inoue's fighting skills are far better than Butler, maybe Butler can last long if he will keep on avoiding a toe-to-toe exchanges of punches.
But if Inoue box him up the chance of him being knock down is high. The monster always has a solid follow up punch, a killing instinct that
will bring him down.
No one can run with Inoue with his current self today because he punched them in the stomach and that too will gonna be equivalent to being punched solid in the face. And also it will be hard fighting him toe to toe because he has some extremely fast punches and is powerful enough to stun and knock out his opponent in the span of split seconds. I'm not closing the chance for Butler but we all know that he has only little chance to win this fight or even to survive up to the last rounds. Yes, Inoue is a total package now, good chin and defense, and not just very fast hands, but both packs so much power that when it landed to most of his opponents, they are going down or felt the punches and then going to stay defense mode until they got knock out by Inoue. So this is more likely a very hard and difficult for Butler, but he has accepted the challenge because he is not afraid and to be honest, he doesn't have a choice, he has the belt that Inoue want so he will have to take that risk. |

^^ Pwedeng nakita na to ng Wizards, although maganda naman talaga ang pinakita ni Westbrook sa kanila at nadala sila sa playoff. Pero siguro nanawagan ang Lakers that time na gusto nilang kunin sa kanila si Westbrook, kaya napag isip isip sila na magandang dahilan ito pa ma labas ang malaking kontrata ni Westbrook sa kanila kapalit ng ilang players ng Lakers. Ngayon sa Lakers na ang problema at hanggang ngayon at problema parin sa kanila hehehe. Dahil nga wala talagang gustong kumuha ng Westbrook dahil yan ang dahilan. Pero malalaman natin pag nagsimula na ang season hanggang kalagitnaan nito. Tiyak may mga pieces parin na iiikot ang mga teams para makuha nila ang perfect team chemistry nila. Katulad ng ginawa ng Boston last year na nagresulta naman ng maganda sa kanila. So hayaan muna nating maglaro si Westbrook sa Lakers.

When Ethereum reaches ATH, the Ethereum price has a chance to go up, the price is $2.1k I think -50% of ATH, but the current situation can increase the price, where the Ethereum Merge is taking place and the next announcement of sharding is a new history for this achievement, currently the market is more dominant towards Bitcoin, Altcoins will definitely follow and we just have to wait a little bit
No doubt that it can increase. The merge is done and if there will be future updates, it's going to be more interesting now that ETH has now a limited supply. It's seen that ETH is becoming now more deflationary but on the other hand, it's now also more centralized. Unlike before, it was semi-centralized. Now, it has fully become centralized. Yes, since the merge is complete already and there is no increased at least to $2k, so I guess the predictions are very wrong. But you can't blame those speculators as this is really a big news for Ethereum and it's investors. Maybe it was just the timing, and then we have the CPI that really took a big toll on the market recently that stop our momentum. If there is no negative news, I think that Ethereum can easily top $2k because of this news. So what we hope is that this merge or improvement will really have a big effect price wise in the long run. |
