Delbonis vs Andujar might be a good game to watch later.
Could be, two clay specialists going at each other. I am expecting a tough battle, probably even a 5 set match. Therefore, my bet for this one is over 36.5 games which should pass if get at least 4 sets.

Yep, the match was extend to a 5 sets, no one really wants to give up in this game and it's a thriller game. No upset from the big 3, although Bautista-Agut exited and so is Karen Khachanov.

Sinner vs Mager, maybe this could extend to 4 sets? over 33.5 might be a good bet on this match.

Nadal vs Gasquet - another intriguing match, but I have Nadal over 25.5.
3802  Economy / Speculation / Re: Death Cross is about to happen on: June 02, 2021, 02:15:03 AM
That's a sign of a bear market and if we failed to stop that, we will a continuous downtrend on the price in the market. That's expected actually since the collapse of the price, since we already reach the peak we should expect the next thing to happen is bear, and its already here in the market so make sure you know what to do next, either to buy more or to wait for the bottom.

It's really hard to stop it, if that happens then so be it. We all know that TA is not perfect, maybe we can see some break out stop or, the bear will take over and the market will be bleeding. But rest assured that we can still see some signs of reversal in the future and the price could bounce back. We just need to be patience and then be careful of our trades, adjust everything so that we can still make money in this bearish cycle. Adopt so that we can survived, this is not the first time that we have seen a death cross and history tell us that bitcoin is so resilient.
3803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone else find Michael Saylor a bit over-the-top? on: June 02, 2021, 01:15:22 AM
LOL, we should have a poll on who is the most hated between Saylor and Musk.

At least Saylor has walk the talk, unlike Elon's who is pure of  shit lately as he becomes anti-bitcoin. So it really depends on how you look at both of the two, and you can expect it from Saylor as obviously he has a lot of investments on bitcoin and other cyrpto related thingy. And I think he is just countering those arguments about Bitcoin. So if you got annoyed from Saylor then ignore him simply as that.
3804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: June 02, 2021, 12:47:49 AM

I wonder why Jake Paul is fighting people that are not boxers when he claims to be a boxer, if he is a boxer then why not fight professional boxers and not fighters from another category, MMA is very much different from boxing this is for money he is picking fighters this guy will get knock out by professional boxers all his fights are coming from people who cannot box, people will soon get tired of his stuff.

maybe, he is just testing the waters here. while making some dough, at the same time he is testing his strength inside the ring. and later on, maybe go for boxing belt. right now, he is striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. earning while he has the charisma to challenge retired boxers and mma fighters..
people are patronising it for now. so get as much money as they can.

Nah, I doubt that he will be looking for a boxing belt later, he is making enough money doing this sort of exhibitions matches and he could be making tons of money already. He will be damage if he goes to fight a pro boxer and the money will not be good.

He is doing this obviously to gain fame and have a lot of followers in his social media accounts specially Youtube. And the carefully picks retired boxers, basketball players to fight.

Today there is again a surprise, the next TOP 10 player who was eliminated after Thiem in the first round, Rubljow fought his way back after the first two lost sets but then he lost the last 5th set. Otherwise the other top players have clearly win today. Only Djokovic is playing later today.

There's really a lot of surprises in the first round, what more if we move to round of 32 going into the quarter finals. Was surprised to see Rublev out now, it's a 5 setter game, maybe some of them are not acclimated to this kind of set up no more. That's why there body and mentally are giving out specially playing catch up. While the big 3 has been here in years, and know how to phase themselves.

Delbonis vs Andujar might be a good game to watch later.
3806  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you making money online? on: May 31, 2021, 03:00:27 AM
We should also expound and not just rely to one source of income, i.e regular jobs.

So most of us are into crypto investing, but for other source, personally, I ventured into online selling, it's been a hit or miss though, and then me and my niece and nephew has some JV as well.

There could be more of us here doing some kind of online work, or doing some freelancing involving crypto or not. Some could have been in the online marketing industing, (SEO, SMM and others), tele marketer, virtual assistant etc. So there are a lot of ways to make money online, you just have to look at every corners and take the opportunities.
3807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Donaire vs Oubaali - May 29 on: May 31, 2021, 02:28:26 AM
Bookmakers are completely wrong about the odds given, LOL, while Filipino here knows about Donaire's going to win by knockout or at least take a UD win against Oubaali. No disrespect to Oubaali, but it was a mismatch the way I see it. 4 rounds? championship? easy easy fight for Nonito.

I'm smelling a rematch with Inoue next, unless another Filipino derail this mega-fight, Michael Dasmarinas. So Filipinos are taking over this weight class and we also have hard hitting Casimero and then lesser known Gaballo (WBC interim) who will have a rematch if I'm not mistaken against Rodriguez.
3808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 31, 2021, 02:04:43 AM
Some very tough matches for seeds as Zverev and Nishikori struggled to win their matches but managed to step over the line. Thiem, who is considered a future French open champion(once Nadal retires)..turns out, he's not even getting past round 1. Such a disappointment and congrats to Andujar for showing the door to 4th seed in the tournament, which was the biggest upset of the day. Andujar is clay specialist but so is Thiem.

Lot of good players in this tournament that can really pull some surprises early.

As for Thiem, wasn't expected for him to exit this early, but we all know how poor he has been showing lately, so good call by @ Trofo. I haven't put any bet yet, but I'm going to parlay, which I think will be the best option are there are a lot of matches.
3809  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All the crypto industry is running by shills on: May 30, 2021, 02:17:13 AM
And majority of those youtubers doesn't know a thing about TA, LOL, they will just shill for the coins they have and just writing lines and shows everyone that it will be going to the one. So I would say we don't need to trust them, and those who blindly believed those shillers are going to be on a rude awakening as they will loss a lot of money on the market. Just used our common sense, study the market, read and try to gain a lot of knowledge. It might be hard, but for sure it will pay big dividends later.
3810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 30, 2021, 01:45:06 AM

In the men's part of the tournament, it will be interesting to see if Nadal can win the GS again and overtake Fedrer in the number of GS titles.

This is what I didn't expect to happen, not about Nadal surpass Federer records but about Nadal win another French Open title, It's boring the winner dominated by one name in a decade.

In the women's competition, the main question is whether Swiatek can repeat last year's surprise or we will have a new winner.
Barty and Osaka seem to be the main favorites for the title.
The results at Clay have always been bad for Osaka, and it looks like it will be here too. Could Swiatek and Barty face in the Final? It will be interesting to see

Yes, it's kinda boring, what Nadal is still dominant as far as clay surface, and no one can even gets closer to his performance, not even the young generations, and it will be very hard to topple his record in clay.

I will consider Swiatek the favourite, she is the defending champion after all, and she is improving a lot since she last won. Osaka hasn't had a good performance, so I will bet against her as the game progresses specially if she is up against Paula Badosa in round of 16.

I just check, Barty and Swiatek are in the same bracket, so we won't see them in the finals.
3811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr on Aug 21 in Vegas on: May 30, 2021, 01:05:31 AM
based on the last fight against Thurman. He still has a chance to win against a dangerous Spence.

Pacquiao is more dangerous as he is underestimated now, he might shock the boxing experts again.

After a win against Thurman, they still can't believe that Manny could win even against any young fighter, I guess they have some problem.
I'll be cheering for our "People's champ" and I believe he will win this fight.

He is always dangerous as a fighter, but he is not as strong as he was so his KO power percent is lower now.
For Spence, if he can hit Manny with a solid counterpunch, we might see what happens to the Marquez vs Pacquiao fight, but hopefully, it won't happen as we don't know if Pacquiao's body could still recover from that. He knows his body, he took this challenge, so let's assume that he is prepared and knows the risk.

The bigger puncher here will be Spence obviously, but again, we should give credit for Pacquiao for taking this fight because it will be dangerous if he gets countered like Marquez and it will be the end.

Him and the team knows the risk, so they will be prepared to fight until the end. I do hope that Pacquiao still improves his stamina, this is one area that I'm concern, it was evident in the Thurman fight that Pacquiao seems to gas out in the championship round. Good though that he has build a lead, specially that knock down that he scored.
3812  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own." on: May 29, 2021, 11:39:38 PM
It is a very novel and helpful tip especially for those of us who are severely panicking about their investments amidst the bear market. However, this shouldn't invalidate the fact that there is also no wrong in selling, if and only if, you cannot afford the losses you will be inflicted upon during this situation. So it's a case-to-case basis as always.

If a person didn't sell at 65 why would they sell at 35?

If they need the money at 35 for living expenses they are not handling their finances well.

Well, with that argument, I wouldn't say that he/she is not handling his finances very well, but probably all his money on crypto right now. In any case, still a win-win, if you are going to buy at the current dip and be a long term holder.

Yes, there is TA that can help us, but I'm sure that majority here are doing any TA, they just buy when there is opportunity, hence that old saying is applicable.
3813  Economy / Speculation / Re: FUD-slingers saying 20K this weekend... on: May 29, 2021, 04:45:35 AM
Just normal though, I think Bitcoin holders should try to stay away from this negativity. Or even just laugh at his because we all know that this FUD'ers will continue to bash Bitcoin specially when the price is going down like we have seeing right now.

But when the price goes on another bull run, those guys are going to be quiet, or will continue their attack but it doesn't have any impact on the price. We should be immune from this kind of tweets and articles floating around.
3814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 29, 2021, 04:07:17 AM
^^ I checked my favorite sportbookies and it's still qualifiers though.

We would like to see Nadal vs Djokovic in the semis, and Rafa even admitted that no one is unbeatable in this tournament not even himself. Yes, he is still the favorite, but we do hope so see another name to challenge them. So this is going to be an interesting French Open as a lot of good clay players are all here, including Tsitsipas, Thiem, Rublev and others.

I think that's Rafa just being humble, or maybe he knows that the young players are really getting closer to him and the big 3, but regardless of the names, we all know that this is Rafa territory unless the next gen really proved themselves in this tournament. And so far they all failed against these all time great players.
3815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 29, 2021, 12:00:06 AM
@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.

Exactly, but for me, Casimero will be the favorite to win because of his speed and punching power. And then he can back it up when he trash talk. For sure sportsbet will cover and open a line for us. Not as a big fight like Pacquiao vs Spence, but still everyone is excited to see a boxer like Casimero taking a very defensive fighter like Rigondeaux.
3816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Perfect Bitcoin on: May 28, 2021, 01:57:45 AM
Bitcoin is created the way it is. It is open-source so everyone can contribute to Bitcoin, even you are Satoshi or not.
For me, Bitcoin is already perfect me.
Speaking of the scalability that most people talking about, which is the problem of Bitcoin now. There is already a lightning network built on top of the Bitcoin network, so no need to change Bitcoin at all.

Yeah, probably scalability will be one area that Satoshi are going to improved because he didn't see that his invention will grow so big like this. But the good thing is that there are devs who contributed to the bitcoin core so I would say that we are in good hands.

LN is one solution to help mitigate the problems of scalability, although that yet wildly adopted, but for sure Satoshi will go and focus if he want's a "perfect bitcoin".
3817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptos scam, unpaid - protection for hunters. on: May 28, 2021, 01:34:16 AM
Or join a bounty or project in which the token is already listed on an exchange.

I agree with the ecrow, but majority of the project didn't want this so it's really a big risk joining bounties, even during the peak in 2017, there are a lot who exit scam and there's no protection for bounty hunters. Even experience bounty managers are victimize by this scammers. So it's a gamble, if you get lucky, then you will be rewarded for your efforts, but most of the time, majority of hunters are not. And their effort are put to naught.
3818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Haney vs Linares - May 29 on: May 28, 2021, 12:54:51 AM
Final press conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u52sDtJWwS0

Both guys feeling confident to win the fight. This will be very technical fight, the market though seems to be close as I can't find the betting line in sportsbet. But probably they will open the line again in the next 48 hours as the fight is in this weekend. But Haney seems to be the run-away favourite.

Haney is the more technical and stronger between the two he is at his peak I expect him to dispose of Linares possibly via knock out and then face Ryan Garcia he really wants to fight Garcia but with Garcia having a demon on his head to deal with it will take some time, he is staying on that division for Ryan Garcia if he wins this match, there's a possibility that he will move to a much heavier weight division.

Haney is the more technical here, I agree, but Linares has been in other tough fights so experience goes to him. I agree that both are looking relaxed base on the final press conference. I wonder though why sportsbet market is not open, initially the line is not good for a Haney money line, maybe that's the reason why they close it as it didn't get any attention from boxing bettors.
3819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 27, 2021, 11:25:43 PM
Sorry @Jating

Regarding the mens side of the tournament, it looks like Nadal, Djokovic and Federer
are all on the same side of the draw! this means that everyone on the other side
have been handed a carrot in a chance for a semi/final slot.

More info on R1 > https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/results/SM?round=1

Tough draw for the big 3, on the other hand, young gen will have to fight it out as well to face either Nadal, Djokovic or Federer in the finals. So I'm expecting Nadal to go to the finals here, against the best the young players have to offer.

For the ladies, I would say that Swiatek will be the early favorites to retain her crown.

3820  Economy / Speculation / Re: Slap yourself if you didn't buy during crash, and slap harder if you... on: May 27, 2021, 01:52:38 AM
Selling 10% would be standard portfolio readjustment, big funds usually have various rules they must follow with the holding sometimes they use a hedge and all kinds of strategies that most personal players cannot justify employing. 

Yup, it's very different for this big institutions and whales, they have a portfolio manager that will manage their funds, so they know what they are doing during a crash. Unlike for us average joe, who sometimes panic and just listen to other advise. So it's possible that Elon could have dump some and then re-buying at this dip.

Personally, I didn't buy in this dip, no extra cash, but I didn't sell either, my holdings is still intact, I'll probably sell off some when we reach 6 digits.
