So sinabi ng Thunder na successful ang surgery ni Chet para maayos ang kanyang Lisfranc injury.

Ang tumira ng injury nya ay si Dr. David Porter at Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics in Carmel, IN. Pero hndi ibig sabihin eh makakabalik sya agad. Kelan pa ng rehab ng mga isang taon, so talagang miss nya ang buong season this year. Hopefully makabalik sya at bata pa naman to ang mabilis maghilom ang mga injury.

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.

Personally, I don't think that we need a dedicated lessons for gambling addiction, maybe it should be touch base and included maybe in others subjects like alcohol and drug addiction. But to have a separate session for it? not sure how it will be effective for students. Maybe they will just go and attend but without putting their hearts on the lesson itself.  For me, everything starts with the students family and the environment because that is the first influence as far as gambling or even other addictions are concern.

A mismatch? An easy win for Inoue? Not even a big challenge for Inoue? Can't blame some people's view about the match as the distance between Naoya Inoue and Paul Butler is really that wide and long gap. I can't even think of a way how Butler can survive the wrath of Inoue.

Agreed. The odds for this fight might be 1.05 for Naoya Inoue and 8.50 to 9.00 for Paul Butler. The ending will also certainly be another knockout for Inoue. Where the oddsmakers might place the over or the under might be on 7.5 rounds and they might favor the under, I reckon. However, Paul Butler was knocked out only once and it was 7 years ago. I speculate that Inoue will knock Butler on the 10th or 11th round.

Spot on mate, current odds are:

Inoue, Naoya - 1.02
Butler, Paul - 9.80

We don't have the under and over rounds, but yeah it could be +/- 7.5, I reckon.

I speculate that it might be earlier than 10th or 11th round, less than that. Butler might survived the earlier rounds, but for sure he will be soften up later and then Naoya will go for the knockout round 6th to round 9th.

@Boafeng. It appears that the speculation on Inoue vs. Fulton might become a reality hehehe. Inoue might become the next Pacman.

Former two-division world champion Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue plans on moving up to 122 to take on super bantamweight champions Stephen Fulton and Murodjon Akhmadaliev after he finishes collecting the final belt at 118 against WBO champion Paul Butler on December 13th.

Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/08/naoya-inoue-wants-stephen-fulton-fight-after-paul-butler/

Not sure how big his jump to the weight classes though, I reckon maybe 4 weight classes will be enough for his body, so I disagree that he will be the next Pacquiao, hehehe.

Chances are high for him to win here and then go after Fulton. But I wanted to see him first against Murodjon Akhmadaliev, this could be an interesting fight. And if he win again they obviously Fulton will be his next target. What's scary is that he even is not on his prime yet, so he could be in a destruction path that could land him at least in the 130 - 135 lbs.

Have read on the news that Canelo wanted to fight Bivol in a rematch in case the latter wins so this will be an added motivation for Bivol to beat Ramirez because that would be a huge payday if Canelo will be true to his words on having a rematch with Bivol.

I'm having a second thought at first on whom to bet for because for me this fight is a bit complicated to predict but with Bivol having a rematch with Canelo after this one, I will be backing the Russian as I also want him to fight Canelo next and see it that win last May was a fluke or not.
But in this case, there are conditions that must be followed considering in his statement Canelo said that he would not have a rematch if Bivol lost to Ramirez so this is something that must be taken if Bivol still wants to fight Canelo.
Ramirez is the underdog but that doesn't mean he's weak at the moment it's just that Bivol's chances are bigger than him.

Yes, Canelo said that he doesn't want to fight a Mexican, so obviously Bivol will have to win this fight in order to make a great payday for a Canelo rematch.

Anyhow, I just thought that maybe Canelo doesn't want to deal with Golden Boy, as we all know the break up with Oscar is not that good. So regardless of Bivol win or not, for sure Canelo wanted to get his revenge fight next.

As far as I know, guranteed na may matatangap ang player, nasa contract nila ito regardless of injury so may sweldo parin sya kahit hindi naglalaro. Pero iba yung case na ayaw maglaro katulad ni Simmons or sa case ni Irving.

Diba nga nagkasuhan pa sila Simmons at Sixers kasi nga na hold yata ang sweldo nya dahil ayaw nyang maglaro at breach daw ng contract to. Although na settle naman out of court at nagkabayaran.

So tuloy parin ang sweldo ni Chet pero syempre gusto natin syang makitang maglaro at mahusgahan kung karapat dapat ng top 2 pick sa draft this year.

Suprising yung pagiging number 2 nya which ang akala ko nga sya yng magging first pick nagualat ako kay Banchero na pinsan ng PBA player natin, kaya lang sa tatay naging mag pinsan eh kung sakali sana na sa nanay naging magpinsan anlupit sana nun heheh pero moving back sa concern kay Chet wala na ayo magagawa kundi mag antay ng isa pang season para makita syang makipagbakbakan sa loob ng court ng NBA.

Yep, kung hindi ako nagkakamali eh si Jabari at Banchero yata ang naglalaban sa 1 at 2 position. Salamat sa info kaya pala pamilyar na pamilyar ang apelyido sa tin ni Banchero.

Ang alam ko nga yung pick rin ng Warriors, ang taas din dati ng ranking nun at sila ni Banchero ang lumulutang na pangalan dati. Ang malupet lang kasi eh bigla tong na injured kaya natabunan na at wala na ang pangalan sa mga scouts, kaya steal ito sa Warriors ngunit injured din yata to ngayon at hindi rin makakapag laro this season. Nakalimutan ko lang yung name nya.

Na-curios ako bigla sa sinabi mo kaya napa researcha ko kung pareho ung tinuktukoy mo at dun sa nabasa ko si Baldwin ata yun 6'10 na forward parang tugma sa sistema ng Warriors kasi maganda rin yung shooting stroke malamang mas sasanayin sa outside shot at sa tangkad ng batang to malaking tulong din to sa depensa nila, binasa ko ung review mukhang magandang addition talaga sa Warriors yung bata habang nasa prime pa ung Splash bro at yung mga pinsanin nilang sina Wiggins at Poole itong mga dagdag sa kanila na makakapartner naman ni Kuminga eh mukhang magaantay lang ng break tapos sila naman yung bubuhat sa Warriors.

Yun nga si Baldwin nga to, galing din nitong bata na to at inaabangan ko kung kelan maglalaro. Injured nga ba sya o makakapaglaro this season?

Madaming bata sa Warriors at talagang made-developed to ng husto, nakita na natin si Moody at si Kuminga, baka this season si Wiseman na at masisilip natin ang hype nitong bata na to. At ang mga picks ng Warriors this draft magagaling din katulad nga nitong is Baldwin na parang KD din ang dating o Chet ang galawan.

Twice a week is a huge number if you have a family and a regular job that takes 5 days a week. If you devote time to your wife, children, work, household chores, then 2 days a week for gambling is a lot. Perhaps this is advice for family people?
Yes, it should be huge if having family. But you can have family and still bet on your mobile phone or personal computer even without your wife and children knowing. It depends on how and where you are gambling.

Even if you are not married, gambling in just 4 times monthly will be good, provided if you gamble with the amount you can lose and not think about or lead to depression, I mean the amount of money that is low to the extent that you can afford to lose it.

During my addiction, I can play 5x a week in a landbase casino, this is prior of me joining crypto and playing online slot games. But I'm more sober now, maybe 2x-3x a month that is a lot to me. I just focus on sports betting now.

I think the advice is much on a broader audience and not for those who have a lot of budget to play daily or weekly. So it's just a baseline for others and who knows, it could be good for them as per the "suggestion" on the budget.
3969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 30, 2022, 11:07:38 PM
The current lineup that defeated the KSA is already a good roster, leaded by Clarkson, I think with better chemistry and coaching job, we could have won against Lebanon.

Yes, because we have Kai Sotto and Clarkson already, how much more if we already have Jalen Green who is also an NBA player, this team will really improve so we need a good coach to carry it to its success.

Meanwhile, let's talk about the game tomorrow. I checked on my bookie and the line was very surprising.

SMB now is -3.5, the opposite of line in game 4.  Shocked
Let’s move on and see if Gilas will improve more on their next games, probably later this year.
The odds for SMB is quiet huge, I didn’t expect that since I though it will just -1.5, as usual the favorite team to win and they are so confident that SMB will take the lead again. It’s more exciting to see this kind of odds, i’ll place some bet against that odds, let’s see if TNT can really make a another good win tonight.

Yes, I just check the odds, its not -3.5 for SMB at 1.82, so I will take this one and hope they can bounce back and take a commanding league.

As for Gilas, we can't really compare those players before, sure we have somewhat reminisce some players, but we have a bunch now and seeing Jordan Clarkson playing together with Kai Sotto? future looks bright for us to at least get one full blooded Filipino to play in the NBA in the next coming years.
3970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 30, 2022, 10:43:24 PM
It's not irrelevant.  Cp3 doesn't crash the paint anywhere near Westbrook.  That's where russ can create and wreck havoc on games but it also gets him in bad position.  Just pointing out both have different styles you can't compare the 2.  And yeah of course he lost a step at his age but I'd bet on the side of west having an off year.  Think he comes back better this year.

Yes, I agree with you. Even though it's clear that CP3 is really much more effective in the team last season compare to what Westbrook is giving, we can't conclude right away that Westbrook is totally not useful. Westbrook is disciplined in his body that he didn't even experience major injuries even how athletic is. Usually, an athletic player is prone to injury but Westbrook is not.

He just needs to fully become mentally prepared to somehow return to his usual performance. Not the same during his prime but a Westbrook that can adjust his gameplay and be helpful to his teammates.

I'd say that he is still worth the chance to prove his capabilities this coming season and have the same faith that coach Darvin Ham gave to him. We never know, Westbrook might be more effective this time because he knew that this is his last chance to prove his worthiness in the league as this is his last season too before he lands in free agency.

I agree, let's say we give Westbrook a chance this season, if he improve under coach Ham then good for the Lakers. If not, then for sure in the middle of the season we might see him get traded. And there are rumors that Ham wanted Pat and Russ play at the same time. So it will be an interesting combination to see them both in the floor. Two high octane players, gonna be fun.

Latest I see in the trade is that free agent Markieff Morris has agreed with the Nets,  it's a one year deal so for good him.

3971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 30, 2022, 10:19:48 PM
Not sure though if Broner or someone in his camp cared to give some evidence that proves he has some mental issues that's why he backed out from that fight. Who wouldn't be so pissed about that? Grin You've allocated all your time and effort for a certain boxer to study his moves in the ring and Figueroa is really looking forward to fight Broner in the same ring but unfortunately, Broner turns his back on him.

Oh well, we really will not know the real reasons for now, maybe they just said to the organizations that AB has mental issues and can't be bothered and so he wanted to cancel the fight, so it is what it is. This could be the new norm of excuses if fighters just wake up and doesn't what to fight anymore. For sure Broner will get a lot of judgement on this one. Specially on his style and arrogant and self-important this guy is when promoting his fight.
Evidence should be provided or if not there should be penalties that must be imposed.
I read an article before that Figueroa's camp has some evidence that Broner is not really in a bad mental state.
He even called it just a reason to "cop out".
I guess this is the next bad reasoning after the Covid. Figueroa's fans are still not satisfied with what happened (loss to Lipinets) and all the blame are on what Broner did. I guess it really sucks to prepare at a full blow for your real match but will end up fighting a different boxer.

I think, Figueroa's camp should let things go.  Besides, it is their own incompetence that made them lose the fight.  It does suck to have the opponent replaced at the last moment but if the fight goes the other way around and Figueroa's won the fight, I doubt there will be an issue like this.  Besides, both fighters had given the same amount of time for preparation for the strategy since both fighters are notified at the same time.  

Figueroa's had move forward already, of course there could be what if for him, maybe he can beat this version of Broner. But he has found his peace already, and just retire for good and focus on his family. We can't say the same with Broner though, I think he will still continue to fight for some money because he has a lot of mouths to feed.

Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

Yes it is, https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/8/30/23328607/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-reportedly-set-for-october-boxing-bout

Quote
Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is about to go down.

TMZ reported Tuesday that Paul is set to face longtime UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend Silva in a boxing bout in October, with a location still to be determined. An initial report from NoSmokeBoxing has the bout scheduled for Oct. 29.

MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz reached out to sources with knowledge of the matchup who confirmed that the bout is in the works.

Still a good fight and it make sense as it could still make a lot of money for both of them. But we all know that Anderson is way past his prime so all the advantage points to him.

3973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 29, 2022, 07:10:44 PM
So who's probably next after Conceicao? Move up to lightweight or try to become undisputed at super-featherweight? There are 2 more belts to collect for Shakur in the division with each of them owned by new champions just this year. New IBF champion Joe Cordina mentioned that he wanted Shakur while new WBA champ Hector Garcia I believe is not tied up to any rival networks of ESPN which is also very doable. But my dream fight for Shakur is to fight Haney before the undisputed champ moves up to super lightweight.

Hard to predict, lots of scenario as you have said:

1. unify the belts at 130 first, I think he can beat Cordina and Roger Gutierrez - for his legacy
2. move up to 135 test the water first and maybe down the line Haney or Davis - for the money

So it really up to him and his camp, he is still young though, so plenty of opportunities along the way for him.

If I had a choice, it's better to get all the belts at 130 lbs, and there seems to be a new name in the horizon, Hector Luis Garcia, he defeated Roger Gutierrez to capture the WBA super featherweight title. So I think that alone will be a good motivation for Shakur because it seems that Hector is a good challenge.

And he is also calling Shakur for a unification fight before he moves to the next weight category (same plan as Shakur). And if Stevenson beat him then he will have the needed fight for a Davis fight in the future.
3974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 29, 2022, 06:14:43 PM

Who knows, maybe he will retire as a Knicks and could be offer as well a job after his NBA player career is over. Also, I think his presence as a veteran will be appreciated by the young Knicks. As CP3 said, he is a fan of Udonis Haslem because "young guys needs vets."

Looks like this is his own decision and he might be there with just a reasonable salary. During his time with the Knicks, he was unstoppable but unfortunately is not enough to win a championship since it was also the time when the other championship teams are rising as well. Now he can just pass some good advice to the young guns and maybe he will be the reason for their improvement in the future.

He should retire as a Knicks because that's where he has the best season.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anthoca01/gamelog/2012/#site_menu_link

I'm happy to see him retire as a Knicks, though he had some great seasons with the Nuggets, but he will be more remembered as the Knicks as that's his last team where he was still in his prime.

Yes, that's what I'm also thinking, when he got traded to the Knicks in his career, he was still in his prime that's why he had one of the best years of his career as a Knick.

So it's just fitting that after all of this years in the NBA with several teams, it's either be Denver or Knicks that should retire his jersey and as I have said, could be in the front office as well.
3975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots and Crash Game version Football. on: August 29, 2022, 05:50:44 PM
These are seasonal games added to the list of available casino games. Now a gambler who is much into football will go with the above kind of crash game whereas the common gambler will prefer the regular crash game. Till the days of FIFA this will be available and once the Cricket World Cup starts we can see cricket ball at the place of football. Everything is business, more being creative is much needed as the competence within the market is very high.

Definitely, it's all for the opportunity, to take advantage of the current FIFA and so it will create hype for gamblers. Because for sure fans are also gamblers right, we bet on our favorite teams. And then when by chance we saw this crash games fully design for our ours, at if tailor fit then for sure we are going to play it. So it's a win-win for us and the gambling platform. And I don't think that it's not that hard to do that, some simply tweaks for the developers but instant fun for us gamblers.
3976  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bottom For Bitcoin? on: August 29, 2022, 05:03:23 PM
The bottom of Bitcoin is apparently 17500, but according to experts, the month of September has always been bad and no good news is coming out. Bitcoin crash is also due to the upcoming CPI data.  Can also dump Bitcoin and make a new bottom due to MT Gox Token. Bitcoin may come down further in next few days or weeks, chances are also seen.bitcoins Can dump 12k to 16k.

We can only hope for the best this month of September, but as you can see, we go to $19k, but the market rebounded and get back to our support level of $20k. I think the CPI announcement has been price in already. But the Mt. Gox is still going to haunt us maybe till next month.

However, I don't see it dumping to the price that you have protected, for me the lowest low are already in at least for this year, around $17,500. If we will go down that low, we should have seen it already, but we didn't. Again the lowest we got is just $19k.

And maybe just to break the ice in this fight, Kambosos said that he is proud of Teo Lopez going to 140 lbs and winning his first fight against Campa. Not sure if this is a complement or something as they have big trash talking fight in the media prior to their fight.

Quote
“Me and Teo always go back and forth,” said Kambosos during a recent interview with FightHype.com. “I still go back at him when he brings up all of these excuses that he has but I’m proud of him. I’m actually very proud of him. To come back after the fight that we had, it shows that he’s a champion. I wish him all the best at 140.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/george-kambosos-praises-teofimo-lopez-following-comeback-win-im-proud-him--168680

Maybe it just humble George when he lost to Haney and now going on a rematch and I will say in a survival mode because this is a must win for him.

3979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: August 29, 2022, 03:07:19 PM
I still cannot find the betting odds in this fight. But I'm expecting Ramirez as the underdog at around 2.5 to 3.0. I will be surprised if Ramirez's odds reach as high as 3.5 or even more at 4.0.

Yes, I just checked just now and the odds are not still there.

Bivol is clearly the favorite here as a technical fighter and he just beat the pound-for-pound king. The excellent news for Bivol is that this fight is happening in UAE so maybe we can avoid biased judges and referees here. Because if this fight happens in the US then it will be nearly the same as the Canelo fight when it comes to judging knowing Ramirez as a cash cow of Golden Boy Promotions and he is also undefeated and popular.

And it's good that the judges are not going to be biased in this fight. As we can see in the Canelo vs Bivol fight, the judges wanted to make the score very close and if Canelo won in the last rounds then maybe Bivol will be robbed, hehehe. So I'm expecting the judges in a foreign country will be different and even if American judges are going to be pick, they will have to be fair here otherwise, other countries in the M.E. will not host a fight if they think this judges are influence by big promotions like Golden Boy or Top Rank.

Of course, the more complicated the design of your NFT (3d and or animation), the more it will fetch in the market.

Because as others have said, it seems to have been saturated as well, just like the previous hype on altcoin market and then it will suddenly die down.
