I believe that Chet just had a freak accident and it wasn't even his first year at all, dude got injured during the summer. So if he goes to gym, gets buffed and gets better physique until next season, then he will be much more ready. What people do not understand is that the difference between college and NBA help is a lot, and I mean like driving a regular car vs being on a rocket ship type of difference.

And I think that's what we have been discussed once he got drafted, sure he has all the talent, but if his body is not going to support that athleticism, his body can't take the brutal beatings of a 82 regular games. So OKC trainers and conditioning coach will get their hands full on Chet and now we've seen him injured, that investment on him goes out of the window for the first season. Just imagine if he would get injured prior to joining the league, he might not be the second pick.

I am not saying he could have Giannis levels of difference, but I am sure he will get a bit more buff, just a bit. That's why I believe that we should be waiting for 2023-2024 season to start and he will look a lot more different and be a lot better.

Giannis is a freak, I don't think that Chet can be like that even if he lifts heavy. So what he needs to go is just get at least 20 lbs of lean muscle.

Np doubt about it, if there will be one country in Asia that should also be in the forefront, that should be India as you can see they have their own IT hub, which is Bangalore.

So for me it's kinda late to hear India about bitcoin and crypto adoption. Although we know that the government is still at the fence as far as bitcoin goes. Nevertheless this is a good start, awareness and hopefully their government will make a U-turn about their stance on cryptocurrencies.

3984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 25, 2022, 01:17:01 PM


Yes and it's a privilege because Loma is one of the best lightweight we have right now, and even if Lopez has beaten him, still, his training and fights are worth to watch,, specially if he and Haney will see action next year.

It's premature but just our speculation, I mean this is a dream match, Loma vs Haney. And hopefully we can see this two and no more surprises or derailing of the fight. But we all know Loma, he is not underestimating anyhow and don't look ahead. His motivation is what is in front right now and that is Ortiz.

We are used to seeing Loma getting an easy win although it's a big fight, so maybe it's time for Loma to showcase his skills against a strong opponent like Haney. Both will have their respective fight, hopefully, they'll win on that so maybe next schedule will be them, if it's not gonna happen this year, then maybe early next year.

I think Haney will be Loma's biggest test in this career, more than Rigo (who is also a defensive fighter and one of the best Olympic champion that turn pro like him), or even Teo Lopez.

Haney is in his prime and we could consider him the best 135 lbs that we have right now, Ryan is all trash talk, Davis, jumping from 135-140 lbs and just looking for money fights, and Teo going up already. And obviously, Haney has all the belts and beat the man who beat Loma. So it will not be an easy fight if ever they faces each other.

I think what the Knicks offered for Donovan Mitchell was reasonable. As compared to what they are being offered for Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz want a significant upgrade over what they are being offered now.

It's crazy how Utah Jazz is still rejecting New York Knicks' offer for Mitchell. Was it 5 future draft picks already? Plus a young Toppin who's still very useful in case the Jazz is playoffs-ready in 3 years or more.       

Meanwhile, super rich Los Angeles Lakers is still hoping for some trades and acquisitions before the season starts. Another target for them is Buddy Hield whom Lebron also wanted even before.

I think it's Hield and Turner from the Pacers? Perhaps Toppin might be good, but Fornier? they might be looking for another more name player in the Knicks lineup that's why the didn't accept it.

The Lakers is just finalizing the Pat Bev acquisition, gonna be interesting to see Bev in Lakers uniform and obviously the experience is what brings him to the Lakers and of course his tough defense.
3986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 25, 2022, 11:49:34 AM
Current betting odds are moving into reality now because I believe Donaire has a better chance of beating Inoue due to his extraordinary power in that division than a 40-year-old GGG moving up for the first time as a full super-middleweight against a much improved Canelo. It is 1.16 for Canelo and a massive 4.60 for GGG which was only 3.00+ when the fight was announced. Donaire was 4.00+ against Inoue so I cannot believe GGG was only 3.00+ during the early stages of the build-up.

If Canelo survived against GGG's powerful shots some years ago, how much more now? And we already know that corrupt judges will always try to steal victories away from B side fighters over the years like what happened to this year's Bivol-Canelo, Taylor-Serrano, and Joshua-Usyk II. 

Yep, I just look at the current odds and GGG is 4:1 underdog, and over/under is set to 10.5 rounds. Over is just 1.4x so there is no value betting on it as this fight might go full 12 rounds again as both have good chin and even if they have fought for 24 rounds already, no one was knock down. So I might go with the Winner & exact rounds or the Winner & round range bet in this fight. The odds are very attractive and maybe we got lucky and hit a good returns.
3987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK on: August 25, 2022, 11:15:40 AM
Fury is the favourite for a knockout, and the decision win in my book. I think he'll do it in style though. Usyk was hurt multiple times by Joshua, and I think Fury can put more pressure on Usyk, and use his size advantage to tire out Usyk, and prevent him from moving so much, something that Joshua didn't implement into his game plan.

I definitely can't see Usyk knocking out Fury, but crazier things have happened I suppose. I do feel he'll struggle a little more with the height difference though, and Fury is the type of fighter to lean on you like I previously mentioned.

Yes, that's what I also said before, the height and reach advantage might be too much for Usyk to overcome and he will struggle if Fury will used his weight against Usyk throughout the fight and take that energy from him. The same game plan he had against Wilder, whenever Deontay was cornered, Fury will put all the weight on Wilder until it's too much and he is softened already and ready to be taken out.

I'm just hoping it gets made, and doesn't get cancelled like the Joshua vs Fury fight. Obviously, that was due to the Wilder fight, but I seriously don't trust boxing to make the fights that need to happen, actually happen.

That is the other thing, if everyone involved is not going to get the money they want, the fight might not actually happen and starts to point at each other as the reasons for the fight not being made.

I guess it's the same as other jobs though, you go to interviews and I don't think that the employer will be interested on your personal life. But there could be jobs that require a full check, like court records and others. Of course, there could be data that it not going to be released to them because of privacy. So I would say no, and maybe the best thing to do is to really monitor them, tell your managers if they will see some signs of early gambling addiction or any problems that might arise in the future.
3990  Economy / Gambling / Re: around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble, What about a poker gamefi?? on: August 24, 2022, 11:38:34 PM
Poker game is a well-known old game and is still in demand by its old fans, but it does not rule out the possibility to use it yourself to enter online games, gambling sites are still available on every platform. even competitions with fantastic prizes are often held, so there is no need to advertise, new players will come to the poker sites they want.
I guess if users request to add poker games to the casino, it will be added because of the large number of poker game enthusiasts. Especially after the casino added the game of poker to their place, the casino held a competition to play player vs player. It will be a fun live show to see two players competing against each other to be the champion. If this show is successful, other casino sites will be interested in adding this poker game to their casino sites and start promoting it to their members.

If my memory serves me right, we have poker tournaments here in the community before and it was sponsored by a casinos. I'm not a poker player but maybe there are also casinos that added this already because obviously it is one of the most well known games as the OP has pointed out based on statistics.

3993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: August 24, 2022, 10:20:20 PM
Any shared information on why Dmitry Bivol failed to secure a fight with Artur Beterbiev for the supposed undisputed match at the Light-Heavyweight Division?

Who do you think is responsible for that, no other than Bob Arum the villain of the Boxing world, he doesn't want his ward Beterbiev on any promotion only on ESPN

Boxing politics always deprived the hard core fans of this sport the fight we deserved to see when fighters are still in their prime. Bob Arum always want the big slice of the pie and we all know that Bivol's market value sky-rocketed when he beat Canelo so for sure he will have to receive more if he fight Beterbiev which i don't think old Bob will agree.

Bivol needs to dispose Zurdo in a convincing manner first so as to eliminate the doubt that he is just a one fight wonder and with that he deserve a shot of unifying the light heavy weight title.

We can't of course forget that this is a business after all but yeah, that's somehow unfair not just for the fans but for the boxers as well because they can't try and have that legacy they wanted even while they are still at the peak of their prime because there is some promoters like Bob Arum who just wants to milk every challenger that his fighter faces rather than give that chance to have a legacy.

But I think Bob Arum can still fight in the table and have a demand as he have the power to make it because Artur Beterbiev has 3 belts while Bivol or Zurdo if the latter will win have only 1 belt to share in the table. Bivol's name is just hyped but that doesn't take away the fact that Beterbiev holds the most belts.

Will we see Zurdo vs Beterviev in the future? maybe, if I'm not mistaken, Zurdo used to be managed by Top Rank. And then they separated and then he move to the higher weight class. Not sure if the settlement is amicable or the relationship has been strained. And Beterviev is with Top Rank. So chances are the negotiations might not be that issues assuming Zurdo's history with Top Rank, and somewhat Arum as a boxing manager might find it hard to let Zurdo fight is cash cow in the LHW division.

There is no bad blood or something, they settled amicably,

Quote
“An agreement was reached amongst the parties,” Top Rank Vice President of Operations Carl Moretti told The Ring in a text message. “He will no longer be promoted by Top Rank.”

https://www.ringtv.com/605329-gilberto-ramirez-splits-amicably-from-top-rank-vows-to-take-over-at-light-heavyweight/

And it's all business for Top Rank, if they can make money out of Ramirez again then why not?

But first he has his hands full against Bivol, we will talk about Beterviev later if this fight is competitive enough or if he wins against Bivol. But that is only the second best, what fans are calling for Top Rank to set up all Russian fight, Bivol vs Beterviev next year.

That's what I'm talking about, and even if TNT take a lead in the 3rd quarter, SMB didn't choke and just continue with their game. CJ Perez with big 23 points, and it was in the 4th that SMB pulled away, and the last time that we saw the score was close was in the 3rd, tie game again when Castro hit a jumper. But that is the last straw, SMB hit a 3 and never look back. And it's good that SMB cover the spread with some to spare for us.
3995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: RUIZ VS ORTIZ SUN, SEP 04, 2022 10PM ET EASTERN TIME/ on: August 24, 2022, 12:49:42 PM


This is the Heavyweight division and everything can change in just one punch. And both of this boxers can knock out anyone with just one punch and that is why they are predicting a knock out.

We will see though if this is going to be a title eliminator, or the winner rightfully facing the WBC champion in Tyson Fury. Because there are rumors that he is not going to retire because and would very much fight Usyk. So let's see, the winner might have to wait though.

Whoever wins here is the rightful challenger to any of the world titles be it the WBC, WBA or IBF but if WBC will have their way, the Fury -Usyk will have to wait, and Fury if he wants to retain and take hold of the title he needs to fight the winner of this fight, but if Fury doesn't want to retain the WBC and go straight to the Usyk match then there could be an interim match, which the WBC will decide, there are so many speculations now. 

Yep, again though, boxing is business and this fighters wanted to get the most money. Not saying that either fighter is not a challenge to Tyson Fury, but if you look at how big the money if Fury comes out of the retirement and fight Usyk, it will be huge, the guaranteed purse and then the live gate and PPV splits. So for sure, boxing organizations are going to prioritize this fight and the winner of this fight will have to wait before they get a crack on the champion. But still, this fight is very important for either Ruiz or Ortiz.
3996  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Hash Ribbons Buy Signal 19/08 on: August 24, 2022, 12:21:14 PM
Always nice to see this kind of update. Some bearish miner news this week from the conflict but don't think that affects ongoing miner operations. Wasn't so confident we'd get to that required >21k levels today after the slip up over the weekend and a brief dip below but it does look like the stage is set for the weekly buy confirmation.

We are still just above the threshold of $21,500, but I think we can close this week around that price, it seems the bleeding has stop and so it's good to see that we are goin to hold on it so that the buy signal will be present.

Currently still holding $21K. Looking bearish short-term but otherwise in long-term accumulation zone of $20K to $22K, so personally remaining neutral (mid-term) within this trading range.

I also don't see the price going below $20k, or at least hitting the new lowest low, it seems that $17,500 will be indeed the lowest price that we will get in this bearish market or at least for this year.

Me neither to be honest. Mainly because I do believe the bottom is likely in already, so dropping below $20K and turning the accumulation zone into distribution would be pretty bearish and indicating that lower lows are likely. Of course a double bottom is possible, around $18K or $19K depending on the time-frame, but personally not a believer in double/triple bottoms being bullish.

Thanks, yeah I do think that the bottom is in already, we are still defending $21k so again, another good indication that there could be no dip below the lowest low.

So still a good time to accumulate around $21k-$22k, and we should take advantage of that pattern and not to think of the bearish trend. Looking forward for next month, I do hope that we will somewhat return to a healthy $25k and sustain it.
3997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 24, 2022, 11:22:31 AM
Many didn't feel him during the last season. He really has to redeem himself and get back in shape for this season.

Because some critics are finding a way to criticize the Lakers. That treatment to Westbrook isn't that harsh when he was playing in Houston Rocket and Washington Wizards. There are just of people who don't like Lakers and Lebron James that's why these people are finding a way to always throw a bad impression at the whole Lakers. There are lots of issues that the Lakers faced but didn't highlight.

Anthony Davis, an injury prone, didn't even receive some backlash for being soft. Westbrook can't carry a team while AD and LBJ are not present.

Other than that fact, the people and the fans really expected the new roster of Lakers to be so dominant last season because the team are consist of All-Star players when in reality most of that All-Star player is not in their prime anymore. Moreover, they set up a high standard for Westbrook with almost no room for mistakes because of the stats he had in the past years.

And with the news that KD will be staying with the Nets, it means that Kyrie will not be traded as well. Lebron will also be stuck with Westbrook, so I guess after all the drama and fans waiting as to what will be the next move of both teams, there will be none after all. And I say it's good though, let them play the same roster this season and see how they are going to fare. Last season was a disaster, although the Nets went to the playoffs but was swept. It could be a burden for them to stay with their teams, or could be another motivation to show their critics.
3998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 24, 2022, 10:52:55 AM
Anyway, maybe it would be better if bettors will just bet during the game because there might be a chance that TNT will have a lead at the start and for sure, this will be an easy cover for SMB but anything is still possible. We might see a 2-0 after Game 2 but I don't think that SMB will allow that to happen. I think not having Coach Chot in Game 2 will be a huge factor on SMB's win. Yes we can say that the TNT still has other coaches but they are still different on how Coach Chot is coaching his players. I will not be surprised if this will end up in a double digit lead win for the SMB.

Yeah, live betting would be a good idea if you don't like the spread because TNT at one time took a 7 or 8 point lead and the odds for SMB to win were above 2 at that time but then again it's a gamble that might not pay off.

End of the first half and the score is tied at 51 apiece and it seems to me that this will be a close game until the final buzzer so whoever got the positive handicap on either team might win their bets.

For me, I'll just pray that the lead of SMB would be 5 and above to cover the spread of my bet ticket.

Plenty of things can happen in the second half, of course we are looking for SMB to cover that spread so that we can win, hehehe. Fajardo is trying to carry SMB, and it's going to be a big factor for TNT as Coach Chot is not around. So SMB really need to take advantage of it and not let go 0-2 in this series otherwise it will be a big hole that they have to overcome and it will be very difficult as TNT will have all the momentum then.

Tapos na ang drama ni Kevin Durant. Mag-sstay sya sa Brooklyn Nets.

Nagkaroon ng meeting between Kevin Durant, Nets owners saka iyong mainit sa mata ni Durant at gusto niya patalsikin na General Manager na si Sean Marks at iyong Head Coach nila na si Steve Nash.

Sana lang maayos ang lamat since damage is done na. Sana magkasundo pa rin on-court si Steve Nash at Durant. Si Nash pa rin ang magdedecide ng dapat gawin ni Durant at wag sana syang maglaro base lang sa gusto niyang gawin.

Sabi na nga ba eh, hehehe, wala na talaga syang ibang choice sa ngayon kundi mag stay muna sa Nets "pansamantala", tingin ko gusto parin nyang ma trade pero wala lang talagang pumapatol na teams. So siguro napagtanto talaga nya na kailangan nyang maglaro this season at hindi uubo dahil ayaw nya sa Nets. So again, pakiramdaman din sa team na nagpakita ng interest sa kanya, pag masama ang timpla eh baka pumayag na i trade na lang din ang mga stars nila kapalit ni Durant. Palagay ko may lamat na ang relasyon nila ni Nash, magiging professionally na lang yan. Although bilib din ako kay Nash, ni hindi nagsalita kahit nung sa issue kay Kyrie, yung hindi nya paglalaro na naapektuhan talaga sila.
