My activities in gambling are not really that big, so I don't need to track my transactions on a daily basis or a weekly basis, I'm okay with monthly tracking but in reality, I never did that as I'm not into gambling in terms of making money, I'm more on the entertainment value, with that said, I'm spending money in gambling as I have more loses than my winnings.
4202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: July 26, 2021, 12:43:22 PM
Unfortunately, so far the process is going in the wrong direction. I remember seeing a chart showing the share of the government (US) in the spending of the entire country, and this share has been steadily increasing throughout the history of observations. If I'm not mistaken, it has long exceeded 50%. This is an unhealthy situation and a large imbalance that clearly does not work in favor of ordinary people.

Big spending from the government has now become the norm, because the voters prefer such policies. In the United States, the Republican Party was known as the fiscally conservative force. But during the reign of George W Bush (2000-2008), and then again during the term of Donald Trump (2016-2020), the federal debt increased by record amounts. The same is the case with some of the other countries such as India. The parties in power are those termed as "fiscally conservative", but even they are indulging in big spending as a result of the changed attitude from the voters.

During a pandemic, this has become a common place for absolutely all countries. It is scary to imagine what will happen when these contradictions accumulate to the point where they can no longer be dampened by the printing of the next portion of fiat money. There will be a big crash, but in theory all deflationary assets should perform well.

Correct, I'm afraid of hyperinflation as the effect of the pandemic is really big, but our government is so confident of printing money so people will think that the government will handle it, what they give as financial help to the people is a debt that people will pay through the increase of taxes, and the government has no choice but to act on that so they'll be able to recover from the financial loses due to the pandemic.

Well, gambling industry should be one of the industry that will suffer huge taxes.
4203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 26, 2021, 12:01:46 PM


He cancelled the fight with Casimero because of the personal attacks on him and his family.

But he has option B - the Inoue fight, which is more exciting to see against a all Filipino war.

No one is underestimating Donaire, it's that he is facing the Monster who beat him in the first fight although somewhat he won because he as able to break Inoue's orbital bone.
and a considered as Rematch , We know how close their last fight was and I believe that if there is a chance to make it best again then this is the right time.

This will turn out as decision making for Donaire that if he lose on this one then he might really consider Retiring as We also believe that he is in the right age of leaving the boxing arena and become at least a Trainor or a manager depend on what next step he is planning for.

But i will still go for Donaire in this one no matter how advantageous Inoue is.

But no talks yet from both camps. It seems they are waiting for Casimero-Rigo results. We don't know if they are already discussing this potential fight. But if they will see high demand from boxing fans, they may schedule it very soon. However, no indication yet that they are into this re-match.

Probably, but it doesn't make sense if they are going for the result of Casimero vs Rigo fight.

Inoue and Donaire had their own respective belts already, so they can unify it by themselves. I'm not thinking that maybe they are negotiating behind close doors, doesn't want to leak this to boxing media until it is official. Both of them come from impressive wins, and they are not that damage. So maybe a couple of weeks rest and then negotiation can begin.

Guillermo Rigondeaux also has the belt, as you can see here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/492989

He is the current WBA Bantam Weight champion, while Casimero is the WBO Bantamweight champion.
In this fight, they are risking their respective belts.
4204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 26, 2021, 11:35:17 AM

They can't repeat championship, that was a one time trophy due to too many injuries on opponents. Next year there won't be this much injuries.

We never know, now that Bucks had already won a championship, we will see a more confident Milwaukee Bucks next season, also, expect that Giannis will improve as he is still young, they will try to develop him into an all-around player and more consistent with his FT shooting. The first five should remain intact, they can add some players to improve the teams' offense, particularly the 2nd unit as they might face a tougher challenge next season.

They need to add more role players if they are aiming for another ring,
the statement above is for real if there's no injuries with those super teams both Suns and Bucks will have the difficulty reaching the finals.

But since they are now the defending champ the value of this team may grow, finding or adding quality players is no longer hard for this team.

early to discuss the next season, lets wait for any possible trades from that we will see who's hot and possible to reach the finals.

It's hard to win a back-to-back championship, even the LA Lakers that we thought would have a back-to-back win, but they never did, indeed they failed in the first round of the playoffs due to injury.

In the current state of the NBA, health is very important, that's why some teams are not giving their star players a lot of minutes when the game is not any more important, but Giannis is a real definition of a warrior, he will try to play even if he is hurt and look what happen, he got injured in the Hawks series but made himself available in the game 1 of the NBA Finals, that's the kind of dedication that every star player  should have.
4205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: July 25, 2021, 09:32:28 PM

Casimero throws a punch statement again against Rigo, well his usual style. Smiley

“When I beat Rigondeaux on August 14, he’s going to retire. He’s finished,” – Casimero
“I can guarantee that everyone is going to see the best of me on August 14. I perform best under the bright lights,” – Rigondeaux

Rigo is the slight favorite to win the match but some analysts are looking forward for Casimero's win via TKO on which I doubt will happen. For sure Rigo's defense will be surely more prioritized as he's not like before wherein he can throw strong body shots to his opponent while doing some good defense.

Surprised to see that Rigo is the slight favorite here, but it's going to be close, and yes Casimero has all the tools to knock out Rigo with one punch here. Yes Rigo can play defense the whole match, but it will just take one touches on him by Casimero to change the whole fight plan of him or the outcome of the match. Rigo no longer has that speed for a quick body punch, reload and then play defense. The chin of Casimero is also solid.

How can we say that Rigo is the slight favorite if the betting odds are not available yet?

What are your bases guys, I would like to know, maybe I missed something?

Actually, I've been waiting for the odds to be available already in my favorite bookies, but until now it's still not up.
So I would only believe Rigo is the slight favorite if I can confirm it through the betting odds.

i believe it is only based on discussions as no bookies yet are listing this match. but checking some articles like this one , it says that rigo is the slight favourite here.

but it may change as some boxing analysts are looking at Casimero to win on this fight. maybe at the end of the month or early next month, we will see the odds hopefully in crypto bookies.

Depending on how reliable the site is, if they have a good reputation then I think we will likely see similar odds once it's listed in the sportsbook. Well, if you'll ask me, I like the betting odds of this fight as I'm betting on Casimero to win, +200 is a gift against an old champion versus a fighter that is in his prime.
4206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRX to $1? on: July 25, 2021, 09:15:21 PM
nothing is impossible in the crypto world, even TRX can rise above 1$, moreover we all know that TRX is a very potential coin with its utility advantages, moreover TRX has become an important part in the crypto world, so this is not impossible
I don't understand why TRX does not hit $1 yet while other coins which are less popular than TRX had already hit $1 or more in the last bull run. Maybe because it's a bigger market, and it's hard to manipulate it? but this project has some good development, so I say it deserve to reach $1 and increase its ranking in the market.
4207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 25, 2021, 08:45:58 PM
The current PPV subscription is $49.99, and there was a prediction that they could reach 1 million buys at max, so let's compute.

For 500 thousand PPV subs x $49.99 that's 24,995,000 USD, and 49,990,000 USD if they'll reach 1 million PPV buys.
With that amount, I think Manny will earn more than $5 million, so he will likely make $10 million to $15 million.
Correct me if my estimate is wrong.
Your estimate is right but if they make around $50 million in PPV you think the fighters will make only $15 million, what about the live gate and they usually make millions as well and especially for higher profile fights the gate money would be huge and it would be around $4 to $8 million and more for the live gate in big events and i am sure the fighters will be earning more than that, usually the PPV share amount is not revealed most of the time.

You are correct, live gate entrance will also contribute to the revenue of this fight, and since most people are already vaccinated in the US, then we can expect that the tickets will be sold out in this fight. I have no idea on the capacity of the venue, but most probably it's a big one since this is a big fight like a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.

DYIP is playing a good 1st half, we are in the 2nd half now with DYIP leading by 3 points. Anyone here taking the NLEX -3.5 full game?

I think NLEX will come back and win the game, they lose their last game and I'm sure they'll bounce back here.
DYIP is still a bad team, I have no confidence in this team so I'll always bet against this team.

I did not bet on the last game, I am just watching the game as I don't feel I could win. Your decision seems right, NLEX Road Warriors had a great run in the 3rd quarter, they beat the DYIP by 11 points and they are already in the lead now with 8 points going to the 4th quarter.

Congratulations, NLEX won the game and covered the spread.

The final score is 108-94, https://www.flashscore.com/basketball/philippines/... it's a 14 points win, and they dominated the DYIP In the 2nd half of the game. My bet was NLEX/DYIP..lol, the opposite happened.

Sa pagkakaalam ko maliit lang ang monthly limit ng gcash, nasa 40k per month lang, kaya siguro hindi ma process. Pag malakihang transation na talaga, pwede namang sa bank account nalang deretso para mas madali, basta may instapay lang, walang problema sa processing, instant yan.

Nope mate. Php 100,000 ang limit pero sige sabihin nating Php 40,000, ang point ko is baka limit na si @Peanutswar sa Gcash kaya di nagpupush transaction niya. Ganyan din sa akin nung di ako aware na limit na pala ako.


100k para sa verified, 40k para sa non verified, yan ata yung nabasa ko, pero pwede naman daw in increase ang month limit.
Follow lang natin ang instructions na nakasaad dito.

Ayun nga guys, nababasa niyo naman sa title kung ano ang ibig kung sabihin.

Ano ang masasabi niyo ni coins.ph sa mga bago na crypto na kanilang tinatanggap?.

Mga bagong crypto na tinatanggap na sa coins.ph
KNC - Kyber Network Crystals
USDC
LINK - Chainlink
Tingin ko sa mga bagong coins na tinatanggap ng coinsph, malaking tulong ito sa atin na makapag trade locally. Dahil kung gusto mong mag hold ng altcoins, eh di mo na kailangan mag trade gamit ang ibang exchange. Malaking tulong ito lalo na sa transaction fee, at makakatipid kana kung gawin mo lang lahat ng trading mo sa coinsph kasi di na kailangan lilipat pa.

Pwede rin yan kaso ang rate ng coins.ph ay masyadong malaki sa buying compared as actual price sa market na makukuha natin sa exchange like Binance.
Tulad ngayon, 1,779,000 ang buying pero 1739,000 lang actual price based sa http://preev.com/btc/php.

When Pacquiao was first reported to have a fight in his division, he was asking a $20 million guaranteed purse, the fight did not happen and in this fight, he will only get $5 million, and I think it's too small for a legendary fighter, but still he sign the contract and get this big fight. We can say that he really want to entertain people, that's his first goal in his sport.
If this is true then he is not really after money but I guess he wants to prove that age is just a number for fighting younger opponent. Its always a challenge for him knowing that he is not getting younger anymore. $5million is still a huge money plus the chance to get another title and an honor for his countrymen so I hope for his success.
Yes, he really said that he is not after for the money, actually during the time when he was criticized by Mayweather for still fighting despite his age, and Mayweather says he wants money, Pacquiao fires back that Mayweather is more on looking for money because he do easy fights like exhibition fights while he fight for a real fight against the best in the division.
4213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 24, 2021, 09:44:30 PM

That's unfair to the winner if a certain fighter makes excuses about his injury after the fight. For me, it's disrespectful as it's not giving credit to the winner, if the boxer has an injury, he should be transparent with it as bettors believe he is fighting with a healthy body and with good training, so they are confident that the boxer will win.

Whatever we think, it doesn't matter to them as they are just fighting for money and they have pride, when they make excuses and fans believe on it, they will still get the respect and might still be given a chance to have a rematch on the fighter that beat them.

Boxers in today's generation are more concern on the money than the honor, so think that what we are seeing is just a game, they played it well so their career will be better and they will have a good chance of making money.

We only have a few fighters now that are really a warrior, one of them which I think the best is Manny Pacquiao, despite of his age, he is not afraid to challenge the best and a younger fighter in his division, that's why fans continues to admire him even if he is not an American.

Nakakaawa yung mga kababayan natin na hindi na natututo pero naghahanap lang din naman ng extra income. Pero hindi yun dahilan para sumabak na sila sa mga ganitong scam investments. Basta matuto lang sila at malaman ang normal na itsura ng isang scheme na scam, mas madali silang makakaiwas sa mga katulad na scam na yan. Sa mga youtuber naman, posibleng binayaran lang din sila ng scam investments na yan at isa yan sa nakikita nilang technique para mas makahakot na maloloko.

Basic lang naman yan kabayan, basta investment na too good to be true, tiyak scam yan.

Itong Muyan 5% guarantee profit per day, yan pa lang alam mo ng scam, pero marami pa rin ang sumubok, nabighani kasi na pwedeng ma withraw anytime, siguro yung iba nag try lang hanggang maging greedy dahil paying ang platform,

Marunong rin kasi ang muyan, may mga referrals pa sila para sa mga magpapasok para mabilis ang pero, kaya ayon, maraming pumasok, malaki rin ang na scam nila.
4215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 24, 2021, 11:53:38 AM
It already happened in other sports AFAIR, like in the NBA, in the opening line, one team is the favorites but where there's bad news that could potentially affect the performance of the favorites, the odds flip and the underdog become the favorites, so bookies have no problem with that.

But in that particular case, it's a team. Here, it's a 1v1. If there's an injury happened, the fight might be canceled or delayed until both teams are 100% full health. Unlike in team matches that the game will still continue.

The problem with Boxing's minor injuries is that, we don't know a specific fighter is suffering a minor injury that a fighter thought It wouldn't affect his conditioning, until he loses and opened up about a minor injury he's suffering before the fight.
One of the major example is when Pacquiao fought Mayweather with am injured right arms.
https://tv5.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/12811381/manny-pacquiao-fought-floyd-mayweather-injured-right-shoulder-denied-anti-inflammatory-shot-locker-room
If I remember Pacquiao didn't opened up about this injury until after the fight. This could've prevented some of the bettors to bet in favour of Pacquiao.

Also, boxing odds are totally different with team sports.

Another great example is Loma vs Lopez, in which Loma remains silent about his shoulder injury until he already lost the fight. Maybe they don't want to jeopardised the fight and not about the bettors that's why they keep on fighting and on schedule despite their injuries.

And there are fighters who injured themselves in the actual fight, broken hands, broken orbital bones (Inoue vs Donaire). But as per the current odds, yeah it's really enticing to have Manny as 2.60-2.70 odds underdog.

That's unfair to the winner if a certain fighter makes excuses about his injury after the fight. For me, it's disrespectful as it's not giving credit to the winner, if the boxer has an injury, he should be transparent with it as bettors believe he is fighting with a healthy body and with good training, so they are confident that the boxer will win.

Time to move on for tomorrow's games.

At 2:00 PM, we have Meralco Bolts against ROS  (+4.5)
At 4:35 PM, we have Alaska Aces vs Phoenix LPG. (+3.5)

I'm wondering why Phoenix is the underdog here.

Both ROS and Phoenix are underdogs in these matches but IMO, either one of them or both of them could upset their opponents.

Though ROS doesn't have its usual go-to guy but with their young guns, they could defeat the Bolts since everything now in the PBA is unstable.

Phoenix is put in the underdog status may be because of their last game where they were blown out by NorthPort if my memory serves me right.

Therefore my bets for today:

ROS ML @2.57
Phoenix ML @2.15

No mistakes this time as I double-check my bets, but not going against SMB from now on.  Grin



First game is over and the underdog Rain or Shine did shine on that ballgame. Young guns Nambatac and Mocon towed them into their consecutive wins with the help of veteran Belga. Even if I will lose my second bet, I still gain some profit as the odds for the first game is 2.57.

Halftime at the moment between Phoenix and Alaska with Phoenix leading by 11 points. Seems another upset is looming in the horizon huh.

Both underdog teams won tonight, that's why Phoenix was the underdog against Alaska because Wright did not play, but it does not make the team weak, instead, they bounce back strong from their first game loss in the conference. Vic Manuel was the best player of the game with 26 points and 12 rebounds, what a game by him, and Phoenix was not wrong of picking him.

Maganda rin yung USDC dahil makakatipid tayo sa rate kung sa big exchange tayo magbebenta ng bitcoin natin, pero dapat practical din tayo dahil malaki rin kasi ang fee ng USDC transactions.

Kung bobo ang scammer pero mas bobo pa rin kung meron mang ma enganyo pang sumali nito.
Sakit ng mga pinoy, bobo ang iba pagdating sa investment, gusto kasi ng instant, na ignore na tuloy ang early signs of scam.
This is a warning to everyon pero kahit same paren ang concept, I'm sure may nabiktima paren iton scam na ito.

Medyo panget man pakinggan pero totoo ito, dahil sa kakulangan sa kaalaman pagdating sa investment marame ang naeenganyo maginvest dito idagdag mo pa ang pagiging greedy ng pinoy na kung saan gusto agad ng instant profit.

Lack of knowledge nalang siguro mas ok, kase for sure those people are good into something medyo tagilid lang sila with regards to investment at yung iba ay takot talaga mag invest pero once na pagaralan nila ito panigurado hinde na sila maiiscam.

Hindi na kasi nila tinitingnan ito as investmet, kundi sugal na, kung magbabayad, papasok sila at iisiping unang lalabas para makabawi. Pero, sino ba namang may alam kung hanggang kailang ito mag close, pwedeng i close ito ng 1 week, so talo pa rin yung mga sumugal.
