At ngayon nga, na trade na si Mitchell sa Cavs kapalit ni Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, ang lupet.

Sugal sa part ng Utah kasi hindi mo naman malalaman talaga ang value ng kapalit ni Mitchell sa mga first round picks an yan, baka may mga busted dyan na makuha sila. So solid ang Cavs ngayong sieason, Allen, Garland, Mobley, tapos si Kevin Love, Rubio at LeVert at si Okoro rin. Sarap tayaan nito pag dehado hehehehe.

At nagkatotoo nga yong nasa isip ko na itong si Mitchell ay ang iti-trade ng Jazz, medyo sugal nga sa part ng Jazz pero may nakita siguro silang dahilan para pakawalan nila ito kasi parang naging young Westbrook lang ito si Mitchell sa kanila, kahit sinong i-partner ay ayaw pa rin mag-champion or kahit man lang sa Western Finals.

Tingin ko panalo rito yong Cavs dahil yong Mitchell ay scoring ang dala nito sa Cavs na yon din naman ang kulang sa kanila last season.

Sana lalo ng uusbong ang career dito ni Clarkson sa Jazz kung hindi siya i-trade dahil siya na lang yong walang hiya na tira ng tira sa labas ehh hehhe.

May bali-balita na malamang i trade na rin si Clarkson ng Jazz kaya baka hindi sya ang maging franchise player nito at talagang gusto magsimula ng Utah from scratch. lahat puro bago at aalisin na ang mga natirang remnants na pinamunuan ni Mitchell dati.

Oo maganda nga chances ng Cavs kasi solid parin talaga at may Mitchell pa na sana mag iba na ang ihip at hindi na mag choke hehehe.

Well even in traditional and land base casino's you can see a lot of similarities as well, maybe just some variations on the style and aesthetic of the casinos. But still the concept is the same, card table games, baccarat, roulette, slot machines, craps, fro the same provider.

And so this might be the case on some online casinos as well, and so they look alike, maybe the software being used is from the same provider, same with those slot games as well.

Correct. The most popular casino games were invented decades ago and now all of them have the same thing like roulette, blackjack, poker...

Crypto casinos started with dice but they are expanding. It's easy to say they're all copying the same thing but in reality they are thinking of adding new  things like crash or pachinko. Some sites have wheel of fortune and many other games. They are trying. If OP can make something better that's great. I hope it won't end with nothing but big words.

Yeah, and I think the point of contention here is the UI, that it has a lot of similarities to one site. Again, this might be true but you can't avoid it and I will go back again to the analogy on traditional base casinos.

Like what we have here in our country, big 3, games are similar, but if you look at the design, for example the entrance there could be quite differences but it is negligible. But once you go inside, the same games. So that might be the experience as well in crypto based casinos.

It really makes me laugh when I read on the forum that people really believe in the new Bitcoin ATH at the end of this year. Cheesy

Perhaps they really don't understand what bear market means, or hasn't seen it before. But for us who have been here at least in 2017, have seen the worst in 2018-2020, this is just a repeat, so mostly likely this year is just the start of the bear market and might continue till 2023 or early 2024 or prior to the halving, approximately in May.

So yeah, we can't do anything at every month's end so just be prepared for the worst this quarter, at the end of the month. I still remember 2018 December though, some pump before Christmas and New Year, but that's it.
3904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 02, 2022, 10:40:37 PM
It is has become a problem for him, then definitely it will have the same effect on his second fight. Unless he had someone to watch over his weight and not drastically lose everything like weeks before the actual fight. It should be gradual that his body will be like hone in with this weight, so it's really important to him besides his training regime. Otherwise, if they don't address this, and he come up making the weight but his body is really draining, then I see the same results.

The weight problem is really sensitive and it's hard to maintain the required weight once the boxer experiences struggling to catch it.

Remember John Riel Casimero? We always think that he is always in shape but guess what happened to him? Even though we saw him as a strong boxer, his weight problem resulted in him being stripped of his title.

We should trust now that the newly hired nutritionist, as mentioned above, will take care of Ancajas weight problem and will try to make him at his full 100% condition once he enters the ring now and face Martinez on this rematch.

Yes, Casimero should be the one fighting Inoue now hehehe.

Historically though, John Riel is known to have this weight issues, and he had to lost 10 lbs in days and was caught doing sauna by BBoC. Anyway, let's hope that Ancajas and his team learn fro this mistakes, they should do the right way of losing that weight safe for the boxers and not so drastic because it will have a bad effect on the boxers during their fight.

About the Jazz, no more Gobert and Mitchell, who will lead the team? Clarkson?

Since the Jazz management decided to radically rebuild the team, I wouldn't be surprised if they also traded Clarkson and other players like Rudy Gay. In any case, I think we shouldn't expect any impressive results from the Jazz this coming season. Moreover, it's unlikely they'll be able to reach the playoffs or play-in tournament in the next few seasons.

Jordan Clarkson will soon be traded and chances are he will not be a Jazz at the start of the new season. It's a overhaul for them, and there will be no veterans to lead them.

On the other hand they will get this in the future for trading Gobert and Mitchell.

* Seven unprotected first round picks
* Three first round pick swaps

So we will see if Danny Ainge is a genius or not.
3907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH Merge - Vitalik memes and lots of expectation on: September 02, 2022, 09:57:29 PM
This eth merging just got me thinking alot because I don't even know what to do to consider being on the safer side, because the current eth price is below what I got mine. I don't sell out of playing safe, anything can happen in after the merge. All I can do is hold what I have but can't take or advice anyone to take the risk of buying more or in the name of taking advantage of the market.

If you don't know what is going to happen then it's better just to stay put and not do anything that will jeopardized your holding. Specially if you got it below the price, so don't sell is the best thing to do.

We are in one of the very worst months of crypto, do you know how many bad news are coming this month? The only reason to have some ETH in your wallet is those upcoming forks, I won't buy just because of the merge because crypto market is extremely bearish as we speak.

Right, we are in the bear market, but the thing is, it is still based on news and hype so this might be good enough for ETH holders to come out again and buy some and hold or just take the airdrop free coins due to the hard fork.

As long as you have the experience claiming those and then selling it right away, you will be good.
3908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 02, 2022, 10:46:49 AM
^^ Everyone is after the money, no more legacy or pride or try to be called the best in boxing. And of course there are styles as well, styles that make people buy tickets and wanted to see the fighters live to see how good they are like Tank Davis. But then again, boxing politics will stand in our for us fans to see if this fight is going to be made or not. But it's better for Shakur to just take one step at at a time, beat Robson in a dominant fashion like he did against Oscar Valdez and as I have said, go and unify the belts, we've seen Josh Taylor did it this year and Canelo has done that in 168 lbs. He should chase history first, before pursuing money fights.


If he will win against Robson in their upcoming fight, then its not only history that he will chase but also lots of money will be in his possessions. However, it’s always good to see a good boxer taking one step at a time because that will also give him enough time to master his own boxing skills and enhance what needs to be more develop. As for Shakur, it won’t be hard for him as he has already titles that prove his worth in the ring.

I really believe that Shakur will really win in this upcoming fight, I know that there's also other factors that could potentially get Shakur defeated but those chances are much slimmer. Though this is just a title defense fight, this fight is also an important step for his career as he will gain more experience from Robson and this fight will open more doors for him. Maybe after this he can go and fight against Joe Cordina to add the IBF belt in his possession.

Yes, same here, Shakur have a good chance to win against Robson, but he will have to train very hard and not slack because Robson is a tough boxer. Shakur boxing skills is just way above the current champion here, including lights out Joe Cordina. That will be a explosive fight as well even a match with Hector Garcia who recently beat former champion Roger Gutierrez  to get the WBA belt. So this are the 2 boxers that he need to beat to become the undisputed champion in the super featherweight.
3909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: September 02, 2022, 10:05:14 AM
Ramirez has a slight advantage in height, although it might be just the shoes that he is wearing.

Even if Ramirez is taller, I think Bivol can offset it with his hand speed and his great footwork.

For reference: Bivol @ 6 ft | Ramirez @ 6'2 ft

Not that much. I refer to some of Bivol's previous opponents and I saw he was once against a 6'3 ft and he won.

Although we can't compare the strengths of each of their previous opponents, we can conclude that height shouldn't be an advantage or disadvantage in this fight between Dmitry Bivol and Zurdo Ramirez. But on the humor side, possibly that Ramirez's shoes make him so much taller in that pic lol.

If only Ramirez will take advantage of his height and reach against Bivol. But then again, Bivol has a good ring IQ so it may have even it up or Bivol will have the slight advantage because of his footwork.

I heard before that Zurdo is 6'3 just like the heavyweight unified champion Usyk. He was a big super-middleweight and he doesn't even have a slim body which is the issue with taller fighters. Bivol meanwhile is a small light-heavyweight at 6'0.

Very interesting if we really look at this height campaigning at LHW, maybe it's possible for him to move up to CW with that height and bone density. Or maybe he was walking around the CW limit during off season. So he don't need to add more weight and he could be draining himself trying to make 175 lbs.
3910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 02, 2022, 09:39:09 AM
If Donaire really goes down to a lower weight limit , I think he will be one of the forces to be reckoned with.  A lighter boxer tends to have less powerful punches, except of course for some exceptions.  I believe Donaire can handle punches really well in the lighter category, plus his punch will be devastating.  If he is what he is saying then I can see Donaire reigning in the 115-weight division.
I do think that he really can. Coming from a higher division and going down to a lower one means that he can handle heavier than the light ones.
Do we have the news that he had talked about this already and that he'll be stepping down to a lower limit requirement for him to keep going with his career?
It's still an awaiting moment for his comeback and I think whoever he boxes, there will be a lot of fans that would love to watch and follow him wherever he goes.

Here is it, https://newsfortph.com/news/video-nonito-donaire-is-willing-to-go-down-to-115-lbs-to-win-another-boxing-title

Quote
"I would love to. I'm putting myself out there, in that mix with 'Chocolatito' and Estrada. That would be great. I am all for it," Donaire said.

"Making the weight is just such a simple thing for me. I mean, I could go down to 115 if I want to, you know, and still feel really strong," Donaire added.

So it's just a comeback fight, he is looking to fight the best in 115 lbs, Juan Estrada and Roman Gonzalez.

Estrada will have a fight on September 3 against Argi Cortes and maybe Donaire is targeting Estrada as the winner of that fight.

Well not the thing you want to hear from my but I still suspect this is only the beginning of the 'bear market'. 
I still do project a 'Bull Market' early 2023 or later on in that year so as long as you are patient and HODL your Bitcoins I am sure it will make it worth it to ignore the current Bitcoin price.

I guess it's better to hear it that way, instead of denying that we are not in a bear market or we will recover soon. Most likely recovery will start right after the halving, just like the previous bull run. And so if that is the case then almost 2 year we will have to wait. So the best thing to do while waiting is continue to accumulate, nothing beats the old strategy of DCA every month and see how much you can get till the next bull run.
3913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is Saylor sued by Washington (DC) an attack to BTC? on: September 02, 2022, 07:38:16 AM
I don't think so, its was more on attack on him as tax evader citizen and not on him being a bitcoin enthusiast. And if you look at the case, it stretch far back before he gets involved himself into BTC.

It all started when a whistle blower started to file a case against him, because he is bragging that he didn't have to pay tax that way because his residence is in Florida where in fact he lives in the DC are for years before his bitcoin investment.
3914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 01, 2022, 11:28:45 PM
Well, things would be different if Ramirez will win the fight against Bivol, because Canelo said, he won't fight his fellow Mexican and if Bivol losses he won't be as interested as today in having a rematch for him. So, I guess if Ramirez wins the fight, Canelo will have no choice but to fight him. And finally, we'll get to see how truthful Canelo to his words. He still hold onto those words until now though. However, Ramirez is determined to beat Bivol and fight Canelo on his latest statement.
Things are getting interesting between this 4 fighters.

What do you mean by saying "if Bivol looses, he wont be interesting" ? Bivol is top1 right now, if he looses, he will be top2-top3. Such competitors are always interesting. And it is always interesting to have a rematch with a an opponent, that has totally outclassed you. Canelo fans saw how Bivol has beaten Canelo. If Canelo skips a rematch, fans will be disappointed as minimum, and as maximum could say that Canelo is afraid of Bivol.

Light Heavyweight? definitely he is top together with Beterviev. So for sure, he can still makes fight and huge money and for sure Canelo might go with Bivol next even if he losses his fight. Again, as I have said, Canelo is not interested on all Mexican fight in Light Heavyweight. So it's either Bivol or Beteriviev. Or this might be something odd, but he says he can go as high as fighting Usyk at a catchweight, but we don't know if he is serious or not.

I'm familiar with the roullete "00" is harder to hit as compare to "0", that's why I don't play that version. I'm more on the single ")" because there were times that I got lucky and win some.

Been to Vegas and it's my first time to see slot machine all over, like even in a convenient store or in the airport, maybe I was just culture shock that time because I only know that they are just available inside the casinos.
3916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: RUIZ VS ORTIZ SUN, SEP 04, 2022 10PM ET EASTERN TIME/ on: September 01, 2022, 10:37:14 PM
You guys expect this fight to end by knockout under 9.5 rounds because bookies think that also as what they put in the odds for that option.

Looking at the knockout rate of both fighters which for me are high, i also that either fighter would sleep in the canvass and i'm thinking that it would be Andy Ruiz. Twice Ortiz lost to Wilder and that was expected as Wilder was is far superior than Ortiz but against the smaller Ruiz, i guess the latter would struggle just like on his rematch with Joshua.

Still good odds mate for this fight, yeah, everyone is expecting that this fight will not last that long, or you are the just the one expecting a decision win here here by Luis Ortiz hehehe.

But yes, I'm on the bandwagon, if Ortiz is going to win, he should do it very fast and early and not allow the fight to go to distance because in his last couple of fights, he always gasses out and that's why he gets KO late like in the Wilder fight.
3917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 01, 2022, 10:22:18 PM
Well, it's a unification fight, so they are staking their belts for this fight, Inoue will lose his belts if Butler will succeed here, but to be honest, I don't see it happening, the chance is very slow.

This fight is just considered a formality for Naoya Inoue to become the Bantamweight King.

No hate towards Paul Butler but we are just being true here. There's no upset that will happen here.

Paul Butler didn't even experience being a choice to be Inoue's next opponent. It just happened that he steal the WBO Bantamweight Title without a hard effort that's why Naoya Inoue needs to face him no matter what to finally unified all the BantamWeight titles.

Yes, regardless of who Inoue is going to face, he will have the 4 belts under his waist. Much better though if it will be the Filipino Casimero because there is more hype on it, the result might be the same.

Again, no offense to Paul and his camp, but I'm imagining that this fight might end in one body shot that Butler can't recover. There have been a lot of Inoue's victim fall for it. So if Butler has weak body, for sure one touch and he will go down and might not beat the count.
3918  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 Bitcoin, Not for everyone. on: September 01, 2022, 10:07:21 PM
I guess the goal should be to accumulate as much as you can in a bear market and HODL. Not necessarily 1 bitcoin because with the current price, it's hard to save that huge amount specially for average Joe which is the majority of us here.

So if you save .010-,1 BTC then that is good already. Admit it or not, it's really hard to get to that supposedly club. I have other assets that I also hold, like stocks so I think I'm good with both of them in my portfolio even if not necessarily 1 bitcoin.

Ramirez has a slight advantage in height, although it might be just the shoes that he is wearing.

Even if Ramirez is taller, I think Bivol can offset it with his hand speed and his great footwork.

Regardless, least see if Bivol can continue his reign and make a huge follow up on his win against Canelo.

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1565424787446439941

So it seems that the Cavs have acquired Mitchell now, as they trade Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton. So the drama has ended for Mitchell. Now the Jazz has a lot of future draft picks from the Rudy Gobert trade to T'Wolves and now from the Cavaliers, Utah are rebuilding. They still have Clarkson and Conley in the lineup. Maybe the two will remain as Jazz for whoever knows up to when.
