3801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 14, 2022, 11:26:56 AM
Anyone thinks that Canelo weight swing from 168 to 175 to 168 lbs might affect his performance? There are fighters who jumps from one weight to another have been affected negatively.

So what about Canelo here? will he still be the same and dominant at super middleweight because this is his favorite and perfect weight class for him. No?

But it's not a massive jump in weight and he has a lot of days to go back naturally to SMW division. It's not like the case of Roy Jones who went as high as Heavyweight and then his weight swinging around 168-175 lbs. And that was the beginning of the downfall of Roy Jones. For Canelo, it's negligible, he is still in his prime and could be walking around that weight without draining himself or changing his diet.

^^ Yun ang malupet, kakasabi ko lang eh tapos biglang bulusok pababa hahaha. Pero ganun talaga, nung tinagos ang $21,700 at tumaas pa eh sabi ko nasa overbought zone na tayo. At dahil sa announcement tungkol sa CPI na yan, hayun tuluyan na nga bumagsak.

Pero at least napanatili parin ang above $20k for the time being at sana ay wag nang bumaba pa. Tingin ko short term lang naman ang epekto sa market, baka next week makabawi na ulit tayo patungong $21k-$22k ulit.
3803  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stressful crypto market on: September 14, 2022, 09:37:31 AM
Today's market certainly makes us stressed, the price of dropping more than 10% and based on the analysis of many experts will drop again below $ 20K, I have also set a purchase price at Coinbase around $ 230 for the price of $ 19500.

Because we are still in a bear market, a 10% drop shouldn't be too surprising or too stressful. But again bitcoin is not dumped, it is still above the 20k support which is a good sign for the market. We may have bottomed out this bear season and bitcoin is not going to drop below $20k anymore.
We are currently at 20.2k and the price you expect is not much different, you should buy now without waiting because if bitcoin really doesn't break 20k resistance then you will miss your chance to buy bitcoin.
It could be very well stressful for majority to see that in the last couple of days the price is really making a good rally. Up from $18 to $22k, and then suddenly you wake us seeng your wallet down by -10%, ouch.

But it is what it what it is, we are very much in the bear season still, and maybe till next year. So if people are going to be stressful, then it will take them years because this bear market will last till 2023, or until the bitcoin block halving. So better cope with it right now.

I think the key here is that you really to know that the crypto is very volatile. Accept that fact and you will be good specially in the long run. But if you think that crypto invested is not riskier then you are wrong and for sure you wll have more sleepless nights because of the bear market. And I'm thinking that crypto investors should really familiarized themselves or get the experience of a full blown bear and bull market.

I don't know what would be the faith of shipping business if the trend changes to fedex , but for me? i will not deal with that same action if giving a chance to decide .
I won't also do the same thing as what the FEDEX owner did. That's really the riskiest thing that he can ever do and I guess he was all set for greatness and dumbness at that time. He realizes that it's all in or go home with nothing and that's already accepted in fate.
But, really fate is playing sometimes and the guy did the right thing on what resulted for his action. The good thing is that he's into the greatness but I'm sure that he's telling the other businessman that don't do what he has done because that might also change their fate but could not be the same as how lucky he was back then.
Probably most people would not do the same as FEDEX owners because such actions are very risky and gambling can cost us all our money. Or maybe he was desperate enough to use his money to gamble and luckily, he was so lucky that he could earn a lot of money from gambling and continue his business. If, at that time, he lost all his money, we won't hear the name FEDEX anymore today or the owner has been replaced by someone else.

Rght, there is a saying that when people back is against the wall, they will do everything they can to survived. And that's what the owners of FedEx did, he gamble his money and he is very fortunate that he won and then he stop. It will be different if he already won and then continue to gamble thinking that he can still make a good run and so bigger money. But I guess he stop when he had the right amount of money he needed, so that is a very good decision.
3805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 14, 2022, 08:57:31 AM
I believe Inoue can win a title in super-bantamweight. The featherweight division would likely become his limit due to his size and his age. Mid 30's athletes' bodies will change some slowly while others are quick to catch up. Inoue at over 33 years old will lose some of his quickness and strength. He may continue to become a champion like Usyk, Crawford, GGG, and Beterbiev because these people are extraordinary but that doesn't mean they didn't depreciate.

Nice explanation, he is not anymore a young boxer, so there's always a limitation once the boxer will age. Unless Inoue will continue to climb after winning a championship which is possible but unlikely to happen. He maybe a star now, but at with the same age as Pacman, Pacman has more achievements than him.
It's really hard to compare the two, I guess it's a combination of Pacman's uniqueness and Arum careful match making that he achieved so much in short amount of time.

But Inoue can still make his name and will probably can go at high 126-130 but it will be very difficult for him, facing natural fighters at that weight division.

We know how good Arum in terms of milking his money making fighter,

but I can say that Inoue has the caliber that really brings him to standout on his division, and in terms of moving up to another weight with his fighting skills and his dedication to keep enhancing, the chance of winning is very possible for him.

Butler's name got credentials, but witnessing how Inoue put down Donaire, we can assume that it will be another KO win for Inoue.

We can't blame him, that's how clever he is, the reason why he is so successful as a promoter. If Inoue wants his decision not to be affected, then he has to make his own promotion like other boxers who part ways with Arum.

That's how Bob Arum built his empire, he might be as others call snake because of his careful match making of his cash cow like Manny Pacquiao. But Manny become the global phenomena and icon and thanks to Top Rank and Arum.

And so it will be the same for Inoue I guess, Top Rank has already build his career to become of the best fighter and pound for pound boxer thatt we have right now and yeah, most likely he will move up to get another belt.
3806  Economy / Speculation / Re: BCT's drop and CPI Report 😧 on: September 14, 2022, 08:13:29 AM
We've already waiting for the CPI announcement like every month and it's a hit or miss for us. But so far it did have put a dent on the market, nevertheless is not like that we haven't seen the price going up/down by 10% in a single day. And specially in a bear market? we shouldn't be surprised by it. I guess the better approach is how it will affect the price in the long term, or let's see if at the end of the month we are below $20k. So there's no need to panic just before the market goes down from $22k->$20k.

I've been playing online casino slot machines for a while now, and I'm looking for advice on which ones are the best. I like to play the ones with lots of different payouts and bonuses, but sometimes the games take a long time to load. Do you have any suggestions for me?

You can see us replying to you with for options and you can see them on our signature links. If you pages loads so slow, that means you are only looking for casino that loads fast?

Most of the players actually are looking for casinos where they could win. You could try hopping from one to another to try your luck with bonuses. Some are not just trying their luck, they also try  strategies.

Perhaps he is really inexperience in the world of crypto slot machines. But there are alot of good suggestions already. It's just a matter on how the OP will digest everything.

But for us though, issues like UI loading fast is just one concern. What we wanted to see and play is a casino that is trustworthy and reliable. We don't play on a casino that has issues like withdrawals and KYC (although it seems to be mandated now by almost the majority of casinos now).
3808  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: September 13, 2022, 10:55:26 PM
Ok naman nga si Westbrook.  Nagulat din ako na di sya pumutok sa Lakers.

Maraming beses di naglaro si Lebron James at Anthony Davis at solo ni Westbrook ang decision sa Lakers pero di nya nagampanan ng maayos.

One more season pa mukha naman may chemistry na si Westbrook sa Lakers.  Bigyan pa ng 1 chance.

Masyado ng malalakas yung nakakalaban nila kaya kung si Westbrook lang ang aasahan nung wala pareho si LeBron at AD malabo

talagang makalusot sila pero unexpected yung early exit kasi kahit papano may mga players pa rin naman na pwedeng makatulong

pero sadyang hindi nakapag perform ng maayos si Westbrook kaya talagang dissapointed yung mga fans. Malalaman natin kung

paanong adjustment at kung anong mga plays ang magiging design para sa kanya ngayong papasok na season.

Itong si Westbrook ay kakambal na ata nya yong malas hehe, kahit saang team na malalakas siya pumupuinta ay hindi man lang nakapasok sa Finals puwera nalang nong nandoon pa siya sa Oklahoma. Hindi ko malilimutan yon dahil ang laki ng talo ko sa series na yon against Lebron kasi akala ko yong na ang time na mag champion yong Thunder kasi kompleto eh, may Durant, Harden, Westbrook at Ibaka pa ata pero inararo lang sila ng Lebron lead na Heat.

Talaga sigurong natapat lang sa kanya. Marami ring mga players talaga na ang lalakas pero hindi makapag champion. And hirap i-analyze kung ano talaga ang dahilan. Last year ang lakas pa nya sa Wizards at dnadala ang team ang team na yun na laging dehado kung manalo.

Kaya tingin ko itong si Westbrook ay pabigat nalang to sa mga team na kukuha sa kanya dahil malaki rin ang sweldo nito pero hindi nakapag-perform sa expectation ng management at lalo na ngayon na marami ng medyo bata pa sa kanya na mabibilis at mahusay pa sa kanya kung maglaro.

Yung kontrata nila ang mabigat eh, kaya wala talagang team ang willing na kumuha sa kanya sa ngayon. Tapos yung chemistry pa nya sa mga team mates. Sugal talaga kung sino ang kukuha sa kanya this season.
3809  Economy / Speculation / Re: Purchased at $23,500, when should I start to panic? When should I average down? on: September 12, 2022, 11:02:53 PM
At least to the OP, the price of bitcoin has recovered and pushes back to more than $22k. So maybe he doesn't need to panic for the meantime as he is about to break even at this point.

And as what others have suggested, just HODL on your precious BTC. and if you have a chance just buy when the price goes down. You shouldn't stressed yourself because you see your portfolio going down, you should be here fro the long haul instead.

So far here is the undercard in this fight:

Robeisy Ramirez (10-1, 6 KO) vs  Jessie Magdaleno (29-1, 18 KO)

And Richard Torrez Jr who is also scheduled to fight, but his opponents is still TBA. Magdaleno used to be a great fighter in is prime, he defeated Nonito Donaire, but for unknown reasons, he stay out of the limelight and even turn down a fight against Emmanuel Navarette.
3811  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bear Market thread on: September 12, 2022, 10:27:28 PM
So ngayon mukang tuloy parin ang pag angat ng bitcoin market kahit wala naman masyadong positive news, Siguro nga dahil lang to sa merge ng ETH na parang nag domino effect. 10% ang inangat, kakapanibago ngayong bear market hehehe.

Sa silip ko $21,700 ang susunod na barrier na dapat i break para ma sustain ang run na to. So far hindi natin na reach to at bahagyang bumama tayo sa $21,200.

Hopefully isa na itong sign para sa pre-reversal ng market, wag lang sana usugin ng mga bagong news na magbibigay ng takot, di kasiguraduhan, at pag-aalinlangan.  So far wala pa naman magandang news, tumaas ang presyo ni Bitcoin dahil bumaba ang purchasing power ng dollar at medyo paglakas ng stocks.  So waiting pa rin tayo ng mga balita na masasabing magiging breakthrough ng presyo ng Bitcoin sa merkado.

Na break na nga yung analysis ko na $21,700 at pumalo ng mahigit na $22k na tayo. Mukhang nakahinga na tayo ng kahit kaunti mula nung bumababa tayo sa $18k at siguro matatawag nating reversal nga ang nangyari ngayon.

Pero maging mapang matyag parin, although tumataas ang presyo nasa bear market parin tayo this month. $25k parin ang barrier na dapat ma break sana natin at least for this year.
3812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA's EuroBasket is rigged with a proof on: September 12, 2022, 10:03:21 PM
It's just pure coincidence for me, and I don't think that everyone or at least players of both teams are going to collude with each other to have the same score in the end. Because sooner or later, if FIBA found out, for sure sanctions are going to be imposed on those who get involved. As what we have a saying locally "the ball is round", meaning everything can happen that is totally unexpected.
3813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard of trifecta betting? on: September 12, 2022, 09:46:00 PM
Yes, I'm familiar with the word "trifecta", because I'm a avid fan of horse racing back in the days.

It's more of a challenge for horse bettor as you have to get the winner is successive order, like "win, place or show", meaning, 1st,2nd and third.

There are even what we call "double" bet. When you have to get the winner of a two races, i.e. winner of race 1 and race 2. And to add some fun on it, "double + 1", winner of races 1, 2 and 3.

And then Pentafecta, super 6, and then Winner Take All, So it makes horse racing a exciting game to bet, specially if you get a underdog in those what we call exotic bets.
3814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 12, 2022, 09:27:30 PM
Much better to get into Lakers than to stay in Blazers without having that much impact from the teammates. That matters, the chemistry.

And I think that wherever Westbrook lands, that team has been longing to have been. Blazers might not want to release their star player but if they've been offered with a good deal, they might take it and won't decline it.

Maybe if Westbrook goes into that team, we may see him back play at what he used to be.

Maybe he will get the normal stats pre Lakers, but he will not be able to carry that team. He will be dominating the ball again because there are no other stars, and he will be the first choice. So, his stats will go up like before, but he will not be able to carry that team to any significant finish because he will have no help. If dame cannot carry the Blazers to the finals, I do not think Westbrook will. His carrying days are over. Most likely, he will just be padding his stats to fish the next contract. That is, if Blazers will take WB, that I doubt will happen. They will stick to Dame most probably.
That's what he need, a team that can help him also to win the game and not only him to carry the whole team.

We can say that there are players that can bring up a team but that's not going to be enough these days when you're against the whole team with bunch of good players and really can contribute a lot per game.

We may see WB go back onto his shape but you're right, that he might have hard time carrying it.

I think there's a good chance he ends up in Utah.  They have a pretty weak team now and are in full rebuild mode.  The Lakers will package 1st round picks with Russell Westbrook to get rid of his contract.  The Jazz could use a ball hog scorer like Russ who can carry a team to a few wins by himself while they rebuilt.  I feel like this is going to happen because it's the only trade that makes sense for both sides.  With training camp starting soon, I suspect we'll have some movement on this front.

Utah still has Clarkson, and others as trade bait for Russell if they want to get him. So most likely they the Lakers will just get 1 draft pick. So most likely WB will still be a Lakers this season, although the Lakers is willing to trade him, if they are not going to be satisfied of what they are getting, specially future draft picks, they would rather play with him and so how it goes.
3815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 12, 2022, 12:23:53 PM
I've seen predictions of the following that Canelo will knock out GGG.

1. Amir Khan
2. Juan Manual Marquez

Their reason is that Canelo is just about in his prime years and GGG is old and 40 years old. And the body punch will be the key for Canelo if he wanted to soften GGG. And then GGG doesn't look good against Murata although he won that fight.

Not sure if we should listen to this former boxers, but they have their own opinion but we already knew those points already.

We should listen to their opinions with a grain of salt hehe. For me, they are right because Canelo is a body puncher that could hurt anybody in his weight division, how much more if it is against a boxer who is 40 years old which in this sport is considered past his prime.

I have read that article also where Amir Khan and Juan Manuel Marquez predict a knockout win by Canelo but have not read where anyone predicting a win by GGG.

The only consolation for this fight is if GGG survives the full 12 rounds and does not get knocked out, that's where I also put my money come September 17, a Canelo win by decision.

And we have another former boxer who has the same opinion as the majority of them - Carl Framption:

Quote
"I would like to see Golovkin win, but I feel this is going to be the most decisive victory for Canelo given where they now find themselves in their careers."

https://www.boxingscene.com/frampton-id-like-golovkin-win-this-decisive-canelo-victory--168999

And as the fight gets closer, we might see former fighters opinion on this fight. But I wouldn't be surprised if they are going for Canelo to win.

Maybe the camp of GGG have seen this reports and will have something to do when the bell rings.

It's unfortunate that this bout is canceled due to the death of his Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth

Quote
Due to the unfortunate passing of Queen Elizabeth, the British boxing board has decided to postpone the fight. The new date looks to be Saturday 15th October 2022.

both parties and the organizer understand the situation, especially the UK as they have to mourn the passing of their Queen, so many are excited and thrilled to see this fight because this is the first time that two women with claims to be the greatest woman boxer of all time are here to fight for it, there are so much thrash talks and disrespect on both camps that I imagine fireworks in the opening bell.

Yes, I have posted it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5370631.msg60905929#msg60905929

Initially they wanted or at least tried for the weigh-in to continue, unfortunately, the BBBoC cancelled every boxing tournament including this fight which have been anticipated because of the bad mouthing and trash talking between this two rivals.
3817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 12, 2022, 11:31:52 AM

Yes, it will be a great match and could be 50/50 fight. I'm seeing a Danny Garcia type fight for Thurman, which he edged when they fought by a Split decision, but it was very close that there are fans who think that Garcia won that fight.

However, that was during Thurman's time, haven't been injured and still undefeated. He did make a comeback against  a ballooned 140 lbs in Barrios and fought at 147 lbs. So Ugas might posed a different challenge if ever this two square in the ring and it could go to distance.

I could say Keith Thurman Enjoyed that fight, and that is the 1st fight that Danny Garcia has lost, but I think if these two would fight again, I think Thurman can chase those times that he is not fighting anymore, a few laps and a few rounds on the punching bag training is the only way for Keith Thurman and he will surely be back on shape in no time, for the Danny Garcia fight Thurman is in control of the fight and was dominating the shots but yeah his shots was not impactful for Garcia, and for him to win against Ugas he needs to keep on moving,

There was talk, but Danny Garcia has move to154 lbs already, and his father says that he can't make 147 lbs. But they have been calling for a rematch because he didn't think his son lost to Thurman. But then again, it seems that Keith is on a hiatus, yes there is the pandemic, but everyone is trying to get back at boxing and Keith seems to be taking a leave of absence again in boxing. So if he is potentially going back, it might be next year and it could be against Ugas and because that is a good fight in my opinion.
3818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 12, 2022, 09:51:44 AM
^^ Yes, that's one of his biggest mistakes, he didn't let his hands go specially in the early rounds. And it's too late, maybe round 7 when he started to chase Devin, but Haney is already in the zone and comfortable, using his length so that George can't go inside. So if Kambosos will start hot like in the Lopez fight and swarm Haney, then he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, another easy fight for Haney, cruising automatic for a 12 round decision again and a place for a Loma fight next year.

3820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 11, 2022, 11:58:37 PM
Westbrook was healthy last season and yet he doesn't play like a real big 3. If Davis will have a great season, I hope Westbrook will not ruined his moment as his inconsistency is really a big problem to the team, especially during crucial times.
The upcoming season will probably be Westbrook's last chance to prove to everyone that he can still dominate the court and perform impressively like an all-star player. So if Westbrook is able to analyze his poor performance from the previous season and draw appropriate conclusions, he could be useful for the Lakers. Although I honestly don't have much faith in that.
I do not think that Westbrook has anything to show for anymore, he lost his super fast moves and he can't drive anymore and his "act like driving but stop and shoot midrange" act is not getting anything important and he is missing them too. Which means that he is going to just get worse and worse and he would be lucky to find a minimum salary next season. His future is just like Carmelo Anthony's future, dude was one of the best scorers of his era and then he wasn't even wanted, same will happen to Westbrook.

But he can still drive to the basket though, but there were times that he will missed a dunk or easy shots inside and that's why he prepared those middle shot bank. Just remember that when he was in Washington, he was still super athletic and even lead them to the playoffs. Something that just really happen to Westbrook when he plays with the Lakers. Carmelo though is not as athletic as Russ though during his prime, he is just pure scoring machine.
