Sadly, it's a loss.

Seems that the later WNBA matches are much more difficult to bet. Since obviously, that Moneyline is not worth picking, no choice but to bet on handicap. Most WNBA teams seem also not consistent in most cases wherein if they will show dominance tonight, the other night is worst and etc.

Looking at the gap in the current odds on the upcoming games later on which is posted above, is that how far the distance between teams in WNBA right now?

I want to see the next day's set of matches if the ML odds are still having that wide gap.
No, the games today are a good match.
Washington Mystics vs Seattle Storm is playing while posting this reply. The score 46-45 and the spreads are just +0.5 and +1.5.
The other game today is Atlanta Dream vs Dallas Wings and the spreads are also near at just -1.5 - +1.5
There are just weak teams like Orlando Magic in NBA that are being given higher spreads when clashing with a super team.  Grin

But correct, the difficulty level to win is higher because of inconsistency.

Correct danherbias07, I have been betting in WNBA prior to this thread, unfortunately, it was a very different league as the NBA as it was really hard to read as teams a very inconsistent.

The last bet I won was Las Vegas Aces vs Los Angeles Sparks, under 162.5 final score 84-66.

But then lost on Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings at under 173.5 in which the Wings won. However, both teams suddenly find their shooting range in the 3rd specially in the 4th quarter.

So it's really very difficult to me, that was my experience in the first week that I bet on the tournament.

Been playing cards, heard some superstitions but actually never cross my mind that I should do this and do that for good or bad luck. I know that some gamblers are very superstitious, but I try to stir away from it because we do know that it won't affect the result of the next card that you will dealt with. And this superstitions can be sum up to being a "Gamblers Fallacy".

At least there is some optimism coming from Stephen Espinoza, The head of Showtime Boxing

Quote
“I think in most negotiations that go on for a while, they have a lifespan of ups and downs. I don’t think it’s dead or close to dead. I think there are points where things are moving more quickly, points where things are sort of stuck at an impasse. And we’re a little bit stuck, but I don’t think anyone is ready to throw in the towel, least of all the two fighters.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/showtime-head-optimistic-about-spence-crawford-i-think-anyone-ready-throw-towel--167980

And as what we have been discussing for the past couple of days, maybe there were points that already been agree, like the purse split, Spence getting the big share as he is the A side on this fight because of his PPV numbers in his recent fight, or maybe the venue has been agreed upon.

So let's still remain positive that time fight or at least the negotiations are still alive as per Showtime and they are working to have this fight made.

Brgy. Ginebra was able to cover their handicap of -2.5 @ 1.8. A good option compare to Moneyline @1.65 (although I don't know when was the time it was shifted and adjusted to @1.75). But seriously, the same handicap can almost cover too by Meralco as they literally take the game close with Ginebra the entire game. They are even up by a few points entering the 4Q.

I'm really sure Ginebra will take that game however Meralco is really playing at their best. It's like every possession should be worthy or else that will lead to the turning point of the game. Do-Or-Die next game and we should expect a close game. I'm sure the Moneyline odds for both teams aren't that gap next game.

The momentum now is on the Ginebra, we should not be afraid betting on them even if the odds will be higher than game 2. I'm thinking that if Ginebra will win, it should be a double digit win as Ginebra are good in closing game and Ginebra has a high win rate against Meralco.

Of course, we know what Ginebra is capable of, and that's what they did in game 2. And for sure majority here doesn't see that they are going to be eliminated. But they rise to the occasion again. So they will be the favorite in game 3 with the ML or even a handicap is not that bad to bet on them. And this is going to be another close game but maybe Ginebra has still something with them and win the decider.

Bitcoin have already gotten to it's Top Rising Channel @$24k area and From my Analysis we are going for a Major Rally on Bitcoin and Stocks Market soon but before that, I think we can still see a Very Short-Term pull back to $22k -$21k maybe this week or next 2 to 4 days before a Big Bounce. Perhaps to $28k+
So in General, I think the Market will be Bullish for the next few weeks or month.


The way I see it, if we remain above $24k for the next 2 weeks, then I'm not seeing a pull back. On the contrary we might experience another push maybe as high as $28k again and could be in the bullish sentiments short term.

The crypto market doesn't consider your bills or expenses it moves according to the wave of the trend. That aside hopes are we will be getting a rally soon enough but to how soon this will be still remains a big speculation but in the main while we will still have price dancing towards the bear market until they bears get exhausted and most likely August poses another potential bearish move

Of course, the market will move on it's natural course, doesn't take into considerations our plans like bills or expenses. It's up to us to adjust to it, not the other way around. And we have the make the best out of this circumstances to be able to survived this bear market.

I guess your concern is genuine, but you have to think about it, will criminals used it when they know that it is psuedo anonymous, they can still be track by government? or just fiat, "cash is the king" philosophy? I guess those you describe as very smart and they know what there choices should be. Opportunities is still there, bitcoin is still fairly young as compared to stocks and other traditional financial markets. And with that said, this is the perfect opportunity, even if the price is around $20k, this is still at a discount and maybe in the next bull run, we might it at least $100k, just saying.

Well I have to break this news to all Filipinos out there, we have a new champion in Dave Apolinario.

Quote
Filipino Dave "Dobermann" Apolinario (17-0, 12 KO's) goes to East London, South Africa and knocks out Gideon Buthelezi (23-6) in the opening round for a KO-1 victory to claim the vacant IBO flyweight title

https://twitter.com/TimBoxeo/status/1553073773473054721

It was a first round knock out, so proud to hear that at least we have a champion. For sure the future looks very bright for the Dave and hopefully he will continue the torch for Philippine boxing.

Is IEO still alive in 2022? Lol, I thought everyone is no longer or at least the majority is looking for other investment method this year.

But as what others have said, maybe they are still alive, but I doubt that they will have the hype hype as around 2018-2019. We already have so many new investment thingy right now like NFT that many investors are no longer like wanted to be an angel investor on IEO. And I haven't heard of any top tier exchanges that their launchpad is still alive to support this projects.
4229  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bull run 'getting interesting' as BTC price hits 6-week high on: July 30, 2022, 10:50:07 AM

But could anyone confirm the bear market is over? By what I  mean is that is the price not going to drop below 17K anymore?

When the speculators published some postsaboutBTC going below $17k weeks ago, there must have been holders dumping in anticipation of that next support to break. 6 Weeks of uptrend seem a go signal to buy for me.

I think to be able to say that we are out of the bear market, we need some validations, maybe in the range of $40k-$50k. At least that is more than 50% of the lower low of $17k.

So it's a long way to go for us, we barely made it to $25k in this last small runs in the last week or so. And we can say that we are still not out of the woods yet, we need to progress more to the price that I mentioned. So we will have to wait and see, we still have 5 months to improved the price.

Here is the final weigh in, both makes the desired weight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOehy73TD8

Garcia - 152¾  lbs
Benavidez - 153¾ lbs

Danny Garcia is still the huge favorite in this fight. I will not be surprised if he wins by a late stoppage or even with a knock out win. His left is still will be his favorite go to weapons. And winner of this fight will probably continue with this journey. While the loser will obviously have a hard time getting into the scene again.

Draymond Green wants four-year max extension, willing to explore other teams if Warriors won't pay, per report
Draymond Green is cooking something.
...
I admire his hard work and love for the game but there should always be a limit to what you could get. By asking for more money, he is restricting the entry of good roleplayers to be part of their team.

There is no harm in trying anyway. If the warriors bite, then it is all good. And if not, well he can try fishing if another team will bite. And if all fails, he still has player options in 2023-24 season. Luck favors the bold and he is testing it.
I wish that's the case, trying to secure good pay so that if ever no team will pick him up he got lots of money in his pocket already.
That had been the case in the past few years, always about the money being secured, they all want it max and free for an option to be traded.
As I checked different NBA-related pages on Facebook, most of the discussions were about the loyalty of players. Dirk, Kobe, Steph, and other players.
But some have their opinions like "fuck loyalty", it's a different era now and money will always win.
Dirk was offered $92M by the Lakers and Rockets but stayed with the Mavs for a 3-year contract of just $25M way back 2014.


I do agree we are in a different era now, players can demand, and they are in total control of their destiny regardless of what contract they have. Kyrie has a way to get from contracts, Simmons doesn't want to play and so he is traded. And now Durant showing intention that he wanted to get out of Nets despite the money they offer him. As much as we wanted players like Green to have loyalty with the Warriors since they drafted him and it's the team that he won his championship, making his name. But sooner or later he will probably leave to chase bigger money. It's no longer about the championship or the ring, he already had 4. Now it's about money for him and retire with a lot of it.
4232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: July 30, 2022, 09:02:09 AM
I have added a poll for you guys to vote on this fight.

Although this is not as huge as Lopez other fight, this is going to be an intriguing match because as you guys have said, this is Lopez first test in this new weight division. And he could give a impressive showing here, then give it as a signal that he is back and then will go to "Takeover" this division.

And for those who are not aware of his condition in the George Kambosos fight:

Quote
According to Lopez's medical records, the 24-year-old former undisputed champion was diagnosed with "pneumomediastinum" with "extensive air in the retropharyngeal space" by emergency room doctors during his postfight visit to Bellevue Hospital.

"The air was surrounding his chest wall and his heart and his neck -- places where air is not supposed to be," said Dahl, who worked as a ringside physician for the New York State Athletic Commission. "If he was hit in the neck or the chest -- a certain way, in a certain place -- he could have developed a pneumothorax [collapsed lung]. ... He would have instantly been down and unable to breathe and needing a chest tube."

4233  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Coins.ph suspended my account without valid reason on: July 30, 2022, 08:35:42 AM
Guys just a quick question, is there any alternative para makapag cash out ng mga BTCs not using coins.ph? Unfortunately, my level 3 verification account was temporarily flagged by coins.ph since yung proceeds daw ng BTCs ko nanggagaling sa isang gambling establishment, which is prohibited by their TOS. Dahil dito, they limited my withdrawal monthly from p400,000 to only p25,000.

I hope may isang alternative pa in order to cash out my BTCs given the fact na nagagamit ko sila almost weekly para sa mga kapatid ko. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you guys.
Parehas tayo ng nangyari sa mga accounts natin. Ito mga magagandang alternatives na pwede mong pagpilian.

  • pdax
  • Bloomx
  • Binance p2p

Subok ko na lahat yan at magaganda din ang account limits nila, kaya para sa mga naghahanap ng alternative sa coins.ph, try niyo yang mga yan. Sa Bloomx 400k per day ang limit ng withdrawals sa level 3, sa pdax naman kahit level 2 or usual verification sa kanila, 100k per day at 20M a month para sa withdrawals ang limit nila.

I'm not aware of Bloomx, pero salamat sa pag post mo nito, tingnan ko rin tong options na to.

So far Binance P2P pa lang ang na-experience ko although ang PDAX alam ko rin naman a pwede pero hind ko na-try.

So siguro in order na magandang masubukan is Binance P2P, to Gcash or Bank transfer and then PDAX tapos BloomX.

Heto ba ang website nya? https://bloomx.app/

I personally would like to see $180,000 at least that's the bear minimum for the next all time high. For sure PlanB S2F modeling was invalidated, but the graph somewhat pointing to this number as one time and that's what stick to my mine.

I'm not saying that we should believed S2F modeling again, it has proven to be a failure already. But those numbers that it predicted in 2021 should be hit in the next bull run.

Couldn't he make the transfer online? Banks are digitizing by leaps and bounds, so it is rare what you say, unless it is in a third world country. I do all my transfers online, although depending on the amount per AML policies they may make you fill out a form or do some paperwork before making the transfer effective.

There are transfer limits in most banks in the country I'm currently in, and $10,000 is a good chunk of money when converted to the local currency. Not sure how easy/hard it is to raise the daily limits and to what extent it can be raised, but idk I don't use banks much as you'd have to call them(and sometimes even need to go to the bank physically) to fix most stuff.

This, we have limits in our country, and perhaps this was a red flag for banks to see that huge amount being converted to PHP.

I also totally stay away from banks, I mean even opening accounts in our country is hard as hell. Lots of questions on where the money is coming from and that was 2018, so not sure how banks have change throughout the years here.
4236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: July 29, 2022, 09:46:39 AM
@Baofeng. There are different opinions on whether Robert Garcia is the right trainer. Some people say he is and he would help Joshua to have more aggression in the ring and attack more on the body. Others say that he might be a mistake because Joshua is a heavyweight and Robert Garcia's tactics might not be very good for heavyweights. Joshua has the speed of a cruiserweight, however. I speculate that Joshua's adjustments on Garcia's tactics might not cause a problem.

I do agree, still very early stage to say that Robert is the right trainer for him or not. That's just one opinion coming from Joe C. but he didn't elaborate if indeed Garcia is a great trainer or not.

We will only see what the plan of attack is during the actual fight. Maybe he will used that speed, or maybe he will be more aggressive than usual. Or used the jab more, going to the body first and try to soften a technical fighter such as Usyk.
4237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling on: July 29, 2022, 09:15:06 AM
I think the rise of streamers is happening everywhere. Not only in online gambling. I would not be surprised if we soon see streamers react to gore videos or some other taboo stuff. The entertainment culture of the internet is shifting towards watching more, not doing more. So we now watch people who do something. Its very strange and a bit saddening if you think about it.

Honestly I do watch a good streamer every now and then so I have no say in any of the matter but online gambling streamers might be a funny idea. Especially their reactions during winning or losing might make good view content alone.

Well, there were a lot of reaction videos on YouTube and honestly they're something that doesn't make any sense to me lol, because they're not actually doing something besides watching a specific videos and make opinions on what they have just seen. Streamers switching to reaction videos than actual playing online games or gambling is the worse thing that will happen to their streaming career.

I myself also watch entertaining online game streamers, but not much with gambling as some of these streamers were being paid to entice people to gamble as if it is easy to win bigger stakes.


Yeah, so this youtubers have been venturing out as well in the last 2-3 years, going to Twitch and making more money that monetizing in Youtube hehehe.

Seen some as well, but something tells me that this are obviously paid ads as what the majority says. So they will have to act "naturally", but gamblers are too smart to fall for that kind of trick. We see genuine reaction of people winning in a traditional based casino, but this streamers? hmm, different reactions.

Dwight Howard showed up at the WWE tryouts today.  Cheesy  He said he wants to play in the NBA next year but is ready to transition to life after the NBA if necessary. I still think he’s a great pickup for any team so I’d be surprised if he didn’t get a contract before the season starts. I also don’t think that will stop him from doing a little work in the WWE.

Dwight is not powerful as he was during at his prime but he still got the experience to handle big man that in prime so having him as a reliever for center is good for Lakers considering how low his salary right now.  For a guy like Dwight, I think he already knew that his career on NBA is already over and probably he is just playing for the paychecks. I agree with you that he might consider to stay on WWE for an extra job while he still got a fan.

Yes, and to be honest, I will take a prime Howard against a prime Anthony Davis. During his prime, Dwight has really freakish, he can do everything and absolute beast inside that no big men can stop him.

But as time goes by, it's already 2023 season, he has lost some of his abilities, but for sure he can be good addition for a team that needs a back up center. He is still doing damage when he was with the Lakers last season and perhaps he can still play at least one season.

Ano po iyong ibig sabihin ng DCA? Baka applicable to para sakin.
Dollar Cost Averaging pero sa atin, Peso Cost Averaging naman kasi Peso ang main currency natin. Applicable yan sa lahat, lalo na kung gusto mo lang mag ipon at alam mo na sa susunod na bull run ay tataas din yung crypto na hinohold mo. Sa ngayon, ganyan ginagawa ko tapos stake lang din para kahit maliit na halaga may dumadagdag at kahit papano pag dumating na ulit ang bull run, tataas ulit value niyan depende lang din sa hinohold mong crypto yan.

I often do this stuff kapag me budget ako at ang cryptocurrency na target ko ay nagcommit ng price na lower lows.  Meaning bumaba siya kesa sa dati nyang pinakamababa.  That way mas madaling ma lower down ang average cost ng pagbili.  Saka kadalasan sa nag DCA ay hindi namimiss ang bottom maliban lang pag naubusan ng fund pangbili Grin

Exactly, it work both ways talaga, kailangan may ready kang pera maybe coming from your regular job (outside of crypto), or any side hustle or business para makapag DCA ka at ma take advantage and lowest low na ma reach, in our case nasa $17,500 ang pinakamababa. Then ganun lang rinse and repeat lang. Pero siguro hindi naman maiwasan na talaga minsan wala na pang allot na pang invest, so adjustment na lang siguro sa part natin.

For the fans of Danny Garcia and Jose Benavidez, here is the first face off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU_1RNUxRik

Danny Garcia seems to be relax and just smiling, not sure if he is nervous, but seems to be very happy to be back in the limelight again.

Garcia still the outstanding favorite in his fight, 1.13, Benavidez 5.80.

The over 10.5 is 1.43, under is 2.75.
