Thiem give up in the first round in the first set (Mallorca Open), he have a wrist injury (felt pain). Would be the 2nd cancellation for Wimbledon after Nadal. 2 of the TOP 5 would already be missing. It's a shame, Nadal has already canceled the Olympic Games.
Thiem has not cancelled Wimbeldon yet, he is trying to recover in time to play. Would hate if he cancels as well.

It seems like Djokovic will have his draw wide open for another grans slam. Maybe Medvedev can make it interesting. I am expecting Rublev, Humbert and Cilic to do well this year. And of course I did not mention Tsitisipas but I don't remember him playing well on grass. Have to see him perform first.

Tsitsipas doesn't play well in grass, so it will be a surprised to see him even in the quarter finals.

But yeah, Djokovic path's is clear, unless he make another silly mistakes of hitting the umpire or something, his chances are very high right now to win the Wimbledon. I don't see anyone right now that can match him mentality in closing matches. But who knows, maybe we can see someone pulling an upset but it will be a long shot.

Well that can only stop Djokovic currently. But now at wimbledon we will have a full hawk eye system so no more linesmen. Thats a good sign,just watched Djokovic in Mallorca playing doubles looks really good on grass and just reached the final

Thanks for the info. And now that Thiem has officially not participating, Djokovic is going to be the favorite to win Wimbledon.

Anyone though betting on the qualifiers, of course the names are not very familiar, but I found out, Mackenzie McDonald, that time when I look at the first set, he was like @2.x underdog, lost the first two sets then comeback and won the last three. Unfortunately, didn't pull the trigger on him, could have been juicy odds after the two sets lost.

You can obviously see the height difference, but you can see the Loma is somewhat measuring the distance already, hehehe. No trash talking because of the language barrier, but we all know that Loma doesn't trash talk unless you start it. And Loma says he want to get another crack at Teofimo Lopez.

I think there's mutual respect between the two, Loma knows that Nakatani is tough, but he knows he has the tools to beat him badly. On the other hand, Nakatani is looking for the biggest career win against Loma, so he will try to put pressure on him.

Not sure if Lopez is still willing to give Loma a crack, but as we have said, when the money in the table is huge, Lopez might give in. Good boxing this weekends.

Good riddance, and RIP John McAfee, we can't deny his contribution to the anti-virus community.

But we all know his role on the 2017 ICO craze, but I'm not going to bad mouth the guy because obviously he is gone, so out of respect to him.

He was eccentric and borderline genius, we really don't know if it is really a suicide because he is scheduled to be extradited to the US and maybe he was afraid of it.

There's a lot of "you could"'s and "you can"'s when talking about trading. But the question is, can you actually? If you can end up by actively trading and actually end up making a lot more money compared to holding, then go for it. If you can't, then just hold for the long term. It's that simple, really.

Yeah, but for me before you can make money on trading, most of the time, you need to lose some before getting that needed experience under you belt, and then you feel comfortable about it and maybe starts to make money.

As opposed to just HODLing for long term, you just continue to accumulate, get a hard ware wallet and store your BTC for a long time.

Here is what Loma said on choosing a tough challenge on his comeback fight:

Quote
“He is strong, very tall and very long arms,” notes Lomachenko. “He has experience at the top level, as he showed in a (competitive) fight with Lopez and the way he was able to beat Verdejo. This is the perfect challenge for me. I’ve always aimed to face the highest level of competition.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/lomachenko-nakatani-perfect-challenge-me-i-wanted-face-top-contender--158615

As what we've expected from him, he view this as a big challenge, wanted to demonstrate that he is back and will get all his belt back.

@Sanitough - yeah, I know that we can't see an upset, but who knows.  Grin

He might be telling the truth but the bookies have a different view on the fight, they make Lomachencko the heavy favorite and that is more accurate than what he was saying. For all we know, he is just trying to market the fight and make people think that it's a fair match.

Could be, but we will have to see if Loma can live up to his hype on this fight.

Perhaps he see some weaknesses on Nakatani that he can exploit, unlike Teo Lopez who looks for big shots. Maybe Loma will try to break down down Nakatani and punished him every round until he quit, just like the rest of Loma's opponent in the past. Good marketing in his part though, portraying Nakatani as if he has a chance against him.
3868  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anything particular causing these declines? on: June 23, 2021, 02:02:51 AM
Is it our friend Elon Troll Musk again?

It's the China news again, government closing some bitcoin mining farms, cutting their electricity just to be sure. And probably if we see and hear another Elon's troll the price might go down again. So we can't do anything about it, unless whales are going to pump the price. But we don't want it that way, I mean no artificial pump because it will be followed by an obvious dump. So we might as well wait a bit, when everything settles down, in the next couple of weeks, maybe we might see $40k'ish or something.
3869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: June 23, 2021, 01:32:21 AM
Looks like this fight isn't happening and instead it will be Nonito Donaire facing Casimero.
https://www.boxingscene.com/donaire-replaces-rigondeaux-face-casimero-118-pound-unification-fight-august-14--158519

This is a more interesting fight because it will be a unification and it is between two Filipino fighters.

Ohh man, i just can't believe this is happening. Unlike Mexicans, there is not a lot of Filipino champions in boxing so this is big news in the Philippines.

If this is the path to unifying the 118lbs belt then i think i would go for Quadro Alas here because of youth, that's all.

You guys believe that Top Rank got a hand of this?  Grin

This is advantageous to Inoue as he will only be fighting once to unify the belt, not twice anymore.

@Baofeng Japinat, need to change the title of the thread bro hehe.

Or probably lock this thread for good.

But regarding your questions, yeah, I think Top Rank has something to do with it, putting 2 Filipinos against each other before chasing Inoue. So it's like a shortcut, whoever wins on the Donaire vs Casimero fight, will already have 2 belts. Then obviously Inoue has the other two. So it will be unification next. So Inoue has all the advantage already. And probably Top Rank saw this opportunity and maybe push for Donaire vs Casimero first.

There will be Elon again, as long as he is still alive, he might be still here with his always "tremendous" tweets that will shake the crypto world  Grin
Every year will probably be a year of someone or something, previously, John Mcfee that claims himself to be Satoshi and always like that.
And now, Elon with his very influencing tweets. CHina with its FUD. and also the US.


It has to do with Elon's baseless tweet though, it's controversial that it shake up the market real bad in the last month or so.

For the Chinese news, they've always like to do with when Bitcoin is on the bull run, so we should get used to it. I don't know if there is a Chinese story line, but as far as I know, their government has been anti-Bitcoin since 2017. And now they are putting a clamp on their bitcoin miners. And the only loser is not the market, but those huge and mid mining pools who have been supporting Bitcoin (and making huge profits) ever since. Thus, this is what the government wanted to stop and control.
3871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 23, 2021, 12:11:10 AM
^^ Or probably Loma will have to start early, figure Nakatani in 1-3 rounds and then go for the knock out or knock down in the later rounds. In his last fight against Teo Lopez, he took him last 5 or more rounds until it was too late as Lopez has won many rounds already.

And again, he chooses to have a hard fight in his comeback, so definitely he wants to prove to everybody that he is back in this division and will win in a dominant fashion.

3873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exiting altcoins at the correct time is the best thing you can do do with them. on: June 21, 2021, 04:13:46 AM
I liked your rule, Hold Bitcoin trade altcoins. I like to trade with altcoins but all altcoins can't give 2x, 10x or 100x. Some altcoins are good for short-term trading. Bitcoin is going downward so I think we will get good time for filling our bag with good altcoins.

I'm sure we all know that majority of altcoins are dependent on Bitcoin's price movement. So if BTC went down, so is those altcoins who are in the top coin. But for those shitcoins, well, purely pump and dump, it might give you x2-x10, but it's not a guaranteed that you can always spot them unless you are a member of some p&d group. But just warning for those who are in a p&d group, it's not also a sure fire to win a lottery. So it's better just to fill our bags with altcoins that has used case or at least in the top 20.
3874  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $65,000 the peak of this bull market? on: June 21, 2021, 03:35:43 AM
It looks like the $65000 is the peak right now, the market looks really bad even when we have a great news like El Salvador considering BTC as legal tender, the market is not showing any signs of recovering. The death cross happened and we might see more bears than bulls..
many people have said that the death cross EMA 100 and 50, of course this is a bad sign for the price of Bitcoin,
and maybe $65k is a price that will be very difficult to break again in a few years, this event is the same as in 2017-2018,
where Bitcoin price has dumped, and it's hard to get back to ATH price, be careful

Few years? Nah, we are just like 50% of it right now, so we can still get to that price or even surpassed it again at the end of the year. Historically, we have this kind of dump and then we will be trading like sideways for a couple of months.

And then at the last quarter, we will see a big movement. So I would say that we can definitely touch it again. Just give enough time for the market to settle down. And wait some big news that will push it again in the last 4 months of the year.

The only one is on my head right now is Andreas Antonopoulos - well respected amongst his peers, never try to hug the lime light for himself. But stay with Bitcoin thru thick and thin and even his Youtube videos in the last couple of years are still relevant today - (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ).
3876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: June 21, 2021, 02:35:13 AM
As I have said, F. Auger Aliassime vs Humbert is going to be close and it can go either way. And in the end, it was Umbert who muscle enough energy to close the game in the time break.

So it will be Umbert vs Rublev in the Halle final. I will go with Rublev by 3 sets win.

Yes i'm with you on that, I have a bet on Rublev to win also with Berrettini to win
at queens against Norrie.

Rublev won Rotterdam in March and hasnt featured much since so he will be looking
to win his second tournament at Halle and I think Berrettini will just be too strong
for Norrie [hopefully]

You give me some idea, so I parlay Rublev and Berrettini here @1.90 with boosted odds.

ML is not too attractive to me, so I'm on a parlay to increased the odds. And I felt that the two can win their respective matches here and I do hope that there will be no surprises here.

Berrettini won, unfortunately Rublev lost his match against Humbert so my parlay got destroyed. Sad

Too bad I thought that Rublev had this game against Umbert, but during the first set, he was broken early and can't get back in the match, although he has chances of on two break points but he wasn't able to capitalised on it. In the second set, it was close, going into tie-break, but again, he was overpowered by Humbert as he was very aggressive.
Grass is the best for hard hitters such as Berrettini, Rublev and Humbert, all of them play aggressively, Berrettini won and it was kind of obvious, unlike Rublev vs Humbert, it was a risky one there since both are good hard hitters, and grass really helps, it was a close match between them, too bad for you Humbert managed to win.

As I have said previously, Rublev is not sho-in for the title as Humbert is really playing very well.

So it's a tough call to bet on Rublev, probably the best bet is on handicapped, although I haven't check it prior to the match.

For Berrettini, I really admire his player, grass or clay court, he is on top of his game. Look for him to develop in the future.
3877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Monero so heavily undervalued? on: June 20, 2021, 04:09:55 AM
I think it's because they are still heavily regulated, what I mean is that majority of exchanges are not carrying them because they are afraid that regulators will come after them. That's why they are delisted and under performing in the bull cycle. So for investors this is not healthy, and maybe there are obviously who cares about their privacy and anonymity that invest on Monero and other privacy coins.
3878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 20, 2021, 03:36:41 AM
I voted for Casimero to win, I know that Donaire is great, and although he won recently, I think father time will caught on him. And he not facing just another boxing, it's another Filipino who is making a name on the division and this could end on a brutal knockout.

At least at the end of the end, it will be a Filipino that will win in the end regardless and this fight could be the passing of the torch from the Filipino flash to another great Filipino fighter.

Yeah, I would say that this is really a bold move coming from the mayor of a major US cities. No need to tell that the Mayor is pro-bitcoin, wonder if he himself holds some personally.

But I doubt that the can offer a very cheap electricity that will make some Chinese miners to move in the US though. As I have said, the cost of living in Miami is high, so I don't know how can the mayor problem electricity that cheap. And it should be abundant source of electricity. The mayor should be lauded though for his efforts.
