It's funny to see how quickly Durant changes his mind. Let me remind you that he tried to put an ultimatum to the Nets' owner a couple of weeks ago, and now they somehow managed to reach some kind of agreement. Honestly, I think Durant has been acting a little weird this offseason, and he definitely deserves to get some boos from Nets fans during the first home game of the upcoming season.  That's why the NBA Twitter world is reacting to that awkward return of Kevin Durant. Those he requested to be fired, GM Sean Marks and Coach Steve Nash, had some serious talk with him. Seems KD really got his head too big as I read, Steve Nash convinced Durant to stay despite the latter wanting him to be fired. Alright, now that the KD drama is ended, hoping for Durant to do his very best next season. As the saying goes, "all well that ends well", hehehe, maybe he realized that he won't get traded for now. So the best approach is to work with the Nets, Joe Tsai, Steve Nash and Sean Marks. Maybe his business manager has something to do with it, perhaps he sway Durant to just stay with the Nets for sometime and he how it goes for this season. So no heads are going to role for now, and as per reports, their goal should be to win a ring. |

Do you think we need gambling schools to prepare people for gamble?
Not sure if this is a good idea, I mean did someone here learn from schools on how to gamble?, how to go to casinos? how to go online and deposit and withdraw? All we need is money, all gambling are very easy to learn slots and dice are the very basic, maybe you need skills to play poker but you can do self-learning as well. And who are going to teach them? so called "professional gamblers"? |

We already have a date in this fight, it will be October 29 (updated the title as well) at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater. For sure New Yorkers are going to be happy that the fight is going to be held there as we can see it is a sporting hub .
Take note though that the Haney vs Kambosos rematch will happen on October 16, so by the end of the month, we will know who will fight who for the lightweight belts.

It seems that I was able to access preev with this price:  But probably in my local cache though,  because the price is not updated. However, when I try to access to access https://pnnv.com/ right now, it seems to be down? Anyone experiencing the same issue or it is just me? (I also tested it to other browsers).  |

Not sure though about the latest in Luna, but from what I heard, yeah, the South Korean government are really doing their best to bring justice to all the victims on this project. I think Do Kwon has no escaped because the prosecutors have been digging about the past of the people involved in this project and they found that this might not the first time that this individuals have been involved in this kind of fraud. I just hope though that the victims can at least be compensated specially those who lost a lot of money in this project.

That is really the key for the Lakers, when they won their title with Davis and Lebron, they guy didn't get any worst injuries so they are a healthy unit. But in a span of like 2-3 years, maybe it was their age specially for Lebron he is now injury prone. In the case of Davis its his height and it really takes a lot of toll in his body. So they really have to take care and make themselves healthy and Westbrook too so that they will have a good chance this season and for sure Lebron is eager to come back strong.
They also have some role players who helped them climb the ladder so easily and they didn't sign them back and others get traded as well. That's the start of their misfortune and they can't even win the first-round playoffs after that. Anyway, that's all in the past and I think they already learned from their mistakes. with some other players added to them, I think they can now have better games than the last season. As you said, let's just hope they won't catch another serious injury. It's because they traded them with they acquire Westbrook from the Wizards. But I do agree that they should all move on, they did try to get some veterans and experience players but it didn't give them dividends or maybe it was the chemistry and no one become the leader when Lebron is out. Russ did try, but it just make matter worst for them. But it seems the Lakers is different from last year, they have a new coach already so that is a start. |

Betting odds are out, we have a very intriguing betting spread in game 2.
SMB -4.5
TNT +4.5
It looks like it's screaming that we should take the TNT, with that, it convince me more that SMB will win in game 2, not only they'll win but I'm seeing an easy cover on the spread.
And even if they lost game 1, it seems that SMB is still the favorite as per bookies on ML. But as per handicap, SMB -4.5 at 1.92 and TNT 4.5 at 1.78. I might go with the handicap on SMB though, I'm thinking that they are going to make a comeback in game 2 and yeah, possible to cover that spread easy. |

I am curious as to the odds. I think there are still no odds released yet by top sportsbooks for this fight?
Unfortunately, there are no odds yet, but I'm guessing that Ramirez might be a 4:1 underdog or even higher. I am not very familiar with this Gilberto Ramirez but it seems he's got a good chance against Bivol. He has an amazing record and looking at his stats it seems he has some advantages against Bivol. They're on the same age but Ramirez has already a lot more experience than Bivol. And taking into consideration Bivol's last fight against a smaller opponent, he did nothing special really. I guess it's time to take a look at few of Ramirez's fights and see if he's worth a small amount for this match.
Yep, but as pointed out, most of his opponents are either old or has no name in the 175 lbs. And Ramirez might have the experience based on his numbers of fights, but it could also mean that he has wear and tear already. Of course this is boxing and the fight can change by just one punch, but I think Bivol also has a good chin and his boxing IQ is improving specially on what he displays when he fought Canelo. He just focus on the game plan and didn't bite when Canelo is egging him to come forward. |

What I want you to understand is that everybody have its principal and it way of understanding how Bitcoin will arise and how Bitcoin will fall. so it is depending on the the instrument a used for analysing devalue or the validity of cryptocurrency. I believe that everybody have it reasons of analysing the falling and the rising of Bitcoin hold the predictions is not what everybody believe. As investor you most ensure that you read your own chart to understand exactly when it will rise
Definitely each and everyone of us has our own understanding on how bitcoin works, that's why it's best to hear both sides, specially if you are on the other side of the spectrum. Just like what this discussion his, before we never thought that bitcoin after reaching a new all time high of $69k will go below the previous all time high, it hasn't been seen before in bitcoin young data. But since we have touch $17,500 as our lowest low, probably there will be individuals who might think that $13k will be the bottom price. |

Kaya lang ang bigat eh Tatum at Brown, so KD at Marcus Smart sa Boston hehehe. Yun nga eh winalis sila ng Boston last playoff at ngayon gusto ni Durant lumipat dun, sounds familiar hehehehe.
At ang bet ko nga dyan, paglaruin muna si Durant ng Nets then saka i trade siguro. Depende din kasi sa lalaruin ng ibang superstars, kung panget ang laro nila eh baka pumayag na rin.
Yan din mismo ang nakikita ko na sitwasyon na mananatili muna si Durant sa Nets lalo na ngayon na malapit ng magsimula nag laro sa 22-23 season, malalaman natin yan sa susunod na mga buwan kasi ang ibang team ay nag o-observe lang din sa roster nila kung maganda nga bang kunin si Durant kahit mabigat ang kapalit. Worth it din naman kasi kunin si Durant kaya nga lang di nila matansya ng maayos kasi alam din nila na aalis din naman si Durant kung sakaling di magiging maganda ang takbo ng team. Yan talaga ang magandang alternative sa ngayon, masdan muna ang takbo ng laro sa simula ng season. Baka magkaroon ng issue ang Boston malay natin, at biglang magiba ihip ng laro ni Tatum, at Brown at ni Smart at baka biglang mapapayag na sila sa trade para ma improve lang ang laro nila. Ganun din ang ibang team na interesado kay Durant katulad ng Phoenix. Kaya ngayon wala munang movement at pakiramdam na lang kay Durant. At mas maigi na rin yan na sitwasyon para kay Durant para di naman sya ganun ka feeling entitled at kung di sya gaanong maglalaro ngayong season ay mas tataas lang ang chance nyang mananatili sa Brooklyn kasi wala ng team ang magkaka interesado na kumuha sa kanya dahil sa asal na ganyan. Wala na rin syang ipinagkaiba ni Simmons kung ganyan ang kanyang gagawin hehe. Nakaka pagtaka lang talaga ang biglang paglaki ng ulo ni Durant mula nung napunta sa Nets. Siguro habol nya talaga eh mag kampeon lang kaya nung nakakuha sya sa GSW ng 2 eh naghanap ng malakihang sweldo na nakuha nyan ny sa Nets dahil nga that time eh galing sya sa GSW. Kaya sabi ko rin talaga na mas maganda na maglaro muna sya sa Nets dahil wala syang malilipatan na ibang team sa ngayon na willing magbigay ng star players din nila. |

So the replacement of Broner won the fight against Omar Figueroa, not sure if fans have bet on this fight, but I totally skip this one. Lipinets stop Figueroa, his corner and father wave the white flag and ask the referee to stop the fight as his son is taking too much punishment in the hands of Lipinets. He also drops Omar in the second round. Not sure though is this win will have a bearing in the 140 lbs. Possible that Lopez who won over Campa can fight Lipinets as another step up fight for him to be "legitimate" 140 lbs contender, so lets's see.
The results were quite surprising because as a substitute for Broner, Lipinets actually only had a little time to prepare for the fight, but in fact Lipinets were able to compensate and even fight quite crazy by releasing many heavy blows at Figueroa, I think, what Figueroa father did was actually true because in the 8th round, Lipinets were really quite brutal with many targeting Figueroa head as a target, so it was clear that Lipinets dominated enough without any resistance from Figueroa who had been stuck at the side of the ring. I think it's not surprising at all because the odds favor Lipinets. And if I'm not mistaken, Lipinets is also preparing a fight on the next couple of weeks. So he is already in shape even before being tap as a replacement for AB. Also, as @lionheart78 has pointed out, sometimes this replacement fighters can really gave big problems on the opposing side because they are not prepared for it. @DU18 mentioned LIpinets lost to Ennis, Jarod is one of the best prospects in 140-147 lbs. Yup, Lipinets has the advantage needed to win and defeat Omar because he have already trained for this fight in about weeks or months even before he was called to sub for Broner while on the other hand, the latter is still blinded and was preparing for Broner because he and his camp didn't expected that Broner would withdraw last minute. And that is why Figueroa was really mad at Broner for pulling out at the last minutes because his preparations have been ruined. Anyhow, both Figueroa and Broner are past their primes to either way it's going to be a boring fight for boxing fans. This is Figueroa's last fight probably or if he continues to fight, he will be just the fighting for the money or just a stepping stone for young fighters. for Broner, not sure if he has contract or something with PBC or Showtime, but we might see the same, just 1 or 2 fights for him assuming he can get over his mental issues and then he is done with boxing. Omar confirmed that he will be retiring from boxing, “I’m very disappointed about the outcome,” Figueroa said. “My team and I worked so hard during this training camp. My body has reached its limit. I’ve been doing this for 27 years and my body has finally said enough. I’m just sorry I’ve disappointed the fans. The change of opponents didn’t affect me. I think I’ve reached the end of the line here in boxing. It occupied my life for 27 years. My body just gave up. It didn’t respond.” https://www.boxingscene.com/figueroa-ive-doing-this-27-years-my-body-finally-said-enough--168526At least he realizes that he can't pull the trigger anymore and that his body is telling him to not fight anymore. He just had a daughter born to that's good if he will just enjoy his life with his family and hopefully he had save enough money to live a good life. And he mentioned about his mental issues as well, (bipolar) and he was able to overcome it. |

As per the interview of both of this fighter, they are looking to knock each other out. I mean this is big dude so obviously they have the capability to do that. Both can even go up the canvass and beat their opponent out.
Even Andy Ruiz himself guarantee that a knock out is going to happen, so maybe to hype the fight and so it will be interesting to see this two in the ring. And this is a WBC title eliminator so whoever wins here will be up for the WBC belt.
This is something very good, which means that both will come out with everything, and this is how I like to see a boxing fight, where nothing is kept and they give a good show, there is nothing worse than seeing two boxers taking care of himself and leaving all the work to the judges, it seems to me that he is somewhat cowardly, and if both of them in their interviews say they want to knock out, it is evident that there will be maximum action, this motivates the bettors a lot, because I It reminds me that years ago I saw the fight between MayWEATHER and Pacquiao and for me it was a total waste of time to see Mayweather running in Pacquiao's ring. 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. |

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. 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. |

I am very curious to know how people are playing Slots. Option A : Do you play one slot for a long time, until you hit the feature or until you win something big? Option B : Do you jump between different slots, play for a while and then jump to the next slot? Option C : Do you set a target amount for each Slot and then stay with that? I think people's success with slots might be linked to the way they are playing it, so for instance... people playing one slot until it pay out, might be more succesful, than the person that are jumping from one slot to the next.  What strategy do you think, will lead to the maximum profits? (Variance and RTP of each slot also determine the way that you are supposed to play on the different slots) Let's discuss.....  Good question, but I guess there is no right or wrong answer here. As per my experience playing slots for many years, I have used this strategy before. For me it depends on how much capital I got, in the beginning when I really enjoyed slots and I have a lot of budget that time, I will go with Option A, just put money on my favorite slot machines and then play it max bet or at least a high bet until I hit the bonus and see if I can get a good returns. But then again, as I mature or at least gain experience playing slots, I play with the Option B strategy, just enough money for one slot and if it didn't gave me winnings then I move to the next. And sometimes I used Option C as well, just have a set aside budget and stay with that machine until I win or get busted and will not play slot games until my next session (move to card games or maybe roulette). |

The latest rumour going around about the Ethereum merge is a dump after, you are wrong if you are one of them, Ethereum going proof of stake and fixing the high gas fee have automatically turn this project into a GOLD, every whales will want to stake and enjoy the rewards, even if a dump happens after the so called fork it won't last.
Isn't it though that Ethereum developer also corrected that mentality that the merger will not solved the high gas fees? You can read all the misconceptions here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-merge-top-5-misconceptions-about-the-anticipated-ethereum-upgradeThe whole market is dumping not just Ethereum, so we have this dumping for whatever reasons, maybe it was the Mt Gox coins or the news that the US is looking at the Bitcoin mining as an energy and coal issues, or even the war in the background is still affecting us. |

If you are trying to rebuild, it is the best way forward, I guess. Just look at the teams that rebuild from the scratch. Golden State was successful in building a dynasty team from draft picks and some notable trades. Celtics is also on the verge of doing it. They have built around Tatum and Brown, their own picks. They are successful enough to reach the Finals last season. And I do not think that that is their peak. We can still expect more from Tatum, Brown, and company to achieve more. Also, it would be cheaper to acquire rookies with great potential than a high-paid star when rebuilding.
Yes, sure! I believe this can be something viable for a certain team, because each one of them has a different way of managing them. Celtics is a good example, Tatum, Brown are evolving a lot lately and they are getting more competitive this season And just to add to those lists of teams that started from scratch, Memphis Grizzlies with Ja Morant, Dallas Mavericks with Luka Doncic. Denver Nuggets did the same with the Joker. All they need to do is compose a set of roleplayers that would help these guys. Not just in offense and defense but also mentally. That's why they are also adding some veterans to rosters to fill that gap. Oh, and speaking of Grizzlies. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kyrie-irving-trade-rumors-nets-have-told-interested-teams-they-plan-on-keeping-all-star-guard-per-report/No progress has been made toward a deal for Durant, but there's been no shortage of interested teams in the future Hall of Famer, and that now includes the Memphis Grizzlies. If Durant got traded, the thinking was that the need for Irving on a team that couldn't contend for a championship would be pointless.
However, Shams Charania reports the Nets have informed teams around the league that they plan on keeping Irving for the 2022-23 season.
I am intrigued what the Grizzlies are offering. Yeah I read the same thing. Memphis would be stupid to break up anyone of Desmond Bano or jaren Jackson. Obviously ja is off the trade block. But those 3 are gonna be great together if they can keep em all. A mix of players and draft picks would be crazy to have Duran on that team. I'd think they would be the odds on favorite next year if they can keep theor core in tact and get durant. Shams says "theoretically" Memphis can offer five first round picks but will not include Desmond Bane or Jaren Jackson in the trade. So it means there will be no trade as Nets are not going to accept just picks in exchange of Durant. This is even the same stances of New York Knicks on a stalemate trade on Donovan Mitchell, they offer Fournier and Obi Toppin and draft picks, but the Jazz says no. So it's hard for the Nets to trade Durant or even Mitchell because they are looking for teams to include their superstars for this trade to happen. |

Good for him because rumors from the boxing fans is that Zurdo has been fighting a bunch of nobodies that's why he's got an impressive record.
That is right, although Zurdo Ramirez record is unblemished, you have to look at the quality of his opponents in his last couple of fights. Sullivan Barrera - age 40 Alfonso Lopez - age 40 Tommy Karpency - age 36 Except maybe his best win is against Dominic Boesel as WBA eliminator. However, some said he's been fighting the best he could as if he's aiming for Bivol or Beterbiev.
Now, he's got Bivol. This is going to an interesting fight as people expect less from Zurdo. But I have a feeling this would turn out to become a good fight.
He get what he wanted now, but we all know that Bivol has the hand speed and I think this will be a key to his victory against Ramirez as he has no match for a prime Bivol right now, riding high from a big momentum win against Canelo Alvarez. |

For those who want to get profit, the best time to buy has come, many say that now is the price of DIP so that if we buy then the opportunity for big profits can be easily we get, after buying I suggest for long -term hold or at least 6 months.
it's true, it's time for us to buy altcoins, because for altcoins it is really worth it, if you analyze it then you will understand that Altcoins are really at the bottom, so don't be afraid, I myself have also bought altcoins with 50% of my capital, and hold until at least the end of 2022 I guess it's really up to what altcoins you are going to invest to for long term. There are a lot of good altcoins, but on the other hand, it's market is dominated by a lot of whales and manipulators and pump and dump groups. So just be careful what altcoin you are going to invest in this bear market just saying. But as for the majority of us, bitcoin is will be the best investment. Yes, the growth percentage will not be the same as some altcoin pumps, but least it is a safe investment and the risk is not that high compare to altcoin market. |

^I'm also a fan of SMB and when I saw that the referee count it in, I admit the defeat of SMB and move on and look for the next game. Yeah, probably those who are really a die hard fan of SMB has making the rounds, but the call is already final and nothing can be done to change the ruling. The best thing to do for SMB is just move on with the lost and look forward for a game 2 win and just be positive and make the necessary adjustments.

but in boxing not everything is numbers and statistics, it's the real part, real life, and really even though both boxers have failed along their paths, it will be interesting to see this fight.
Thats true. This will be a great fight that we've been waiting for years. Thanks to Canelo losing to Bivol, because if that didn't happen, we might not see this fight. Possible, but I think when Canelo re-sign with Matchroom and DAZN, he knows that sooner or later this fight is going to happen regardless of the result of of his fight wit Bivol. But the thing is, when Canelo losses that fight, it add an extra motivation for him to fight GGG because he knows that he can get back in track as the cash cow and p4p #1 with a victory here. So we will see after this fight if Canelo will extend his contract again with Eddie Hearn and the DAZN. |
