4361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Haney vs Gamboa WBC World Lightweight Title on: November 07, 2020, 11:17:43 PM
Yes, that's why Davis really take a lot of heat not knocking out Gamboa early and he even went to distance with an injured Gamboa. But Davis was able to bounce back from that, giving Leo ad devastating upper cut. I like what  Gamboa said though,

Quote
“I’m here to mess up everyone’s money at lightweight,” insists Gamboa. “There are a lot of big fights to be made in this division. My first one will come Saturday night, with a lot of big paydays to follow.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/gamboa-im-here-mess-up-everyones-money-lightweight--153076

So he wants to derail's anyone on lightweight, Lol, he almost did that in the Davis fight, so let's see how Haney is made of.  Smiley

I liked his statement, it looks like he will not give Haney an easy fight despite he is an underdog in this fight.

Honestly, the odds are really attractive, but I like to ask from you guys, anyone here put a bet on Gamboa to upset Haney?

Gamboa and decision is @30
Draw @26.

What do you think about this odds?

Definitely, Haney is the favourite here. But for some miracle turn of events and Gamboa will win, those who placed bets on him just got their huge winnings of their lifetime. Not gonna place the bet but will watch the show.

Okay, I think I will take my chances on the odds that I shared, if Gamboa will give his opponent a good fight, the result could be a draw or him winning the fight. I will put a little bet then just enjoy watching the fight, i think that's a good idea, no pressure in my end.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Yes, Biden has more chances to win the election, but it's not settled yet.

By the looks of it, I think Biden had already won the election though we are still waiting for the official announcement.
 
There's no more live betting in the sportsbook I'm using now, which means soon enough the winner will be declared.
$5 million is just an ordinary bet for a high roller gambler, hopefully he is a high roller.

4365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 06, 2020, 11:16:05 PM
Booker could be a good answer for a team that is chasing a championship that is struggling, like the Bucks, if he will play with the Bucks, I think he can help Giannis to be in the NBA Finals as he has the consistency and anytime he could explode.

It might cost them a good players in exchange for that supposed trade. Bucks core will be destroyed in exchange for Booker.

Even Giannis' future is not sure about the Bucks so maybe Booker will not show interest.

But Milwaukee Bucks isn't one of the teams in the rumor. Booker can also consider the Golden State Warriors for his championship goal but I don't know if Warriors will consider giving him a max contract as The Splash Brothers already have a good contract. Wink

It's time for the Bucks to take that risk, they keep their players, nothing will change, they will dominate in the regular season but they will tank in the playoffs. I guess some players like Eric Bledsoe and other high payed athlete can be a good trade for Booker.

Bucks will have a big 3 with Giannis, Booker, and Middleton.

That looks a legit big 3, right?

Eric Bledsoe had $70m 4 year contract, while Devin Booker had $158m 5 year contract in Phoenix. But Booker's value might increase because he's becoming better and better every year. Most specially during the NBA bubble when the Suns has been undefeated while Booker averages 30ppg shooting over 50% fg.
I'm afraid Middleton will be involved If we're talking about the Booker to Bucks trade.



They would not touch Middleton I guess, he was also playing very well during the bubble and by far the most consistent player in the Bucks roster when it comes to generating points and making clutch shots.

Let's check out their payroll : https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MIL.html

As we can see, we still have Lopez and George hill which also has a decent salary in the Roster, even Lopez and Bledsoe would be enough to trade with Booker IMO.

^ Regardless of Gamboa's age, I think it will still not be an easy fight for Haney though he has an advantage in this fight because he is still young and much taller than Gamboa. If I will put a bet on this game I cannot be complacent to put my wager with Haney for I have witnessed how Gamboa proved himself and nailed in this sport. Nevertheless, based on Haney's performance in his previous fight, he has also shown exemplary skills in this field as well so IMO this fight will be a good fight for me.


That's what we think but the betting odds tells otherwise.

Gamboa once became a champion in his career, but that life, sometimes we need to accept that we have already past our prime and that goes to Gamboa.

Gamboa's record is really outstanding, 30 wins with 18 KOs but he got 3 loses against an undefeated fighter which is way younger than him.
The age difference really plays an important role in boxing and that's the reason why odds does not favor on Gamboa here.
4367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know what bankroll management is in sports betting? on: November 06, 2020, 12:25:50 PM
The question is how long can you survive to not tempted to gamble it all away?
I mean you maybe have 100 units and managed to make it 110 in the next week but time after time you look at your bankroll and it is a little bit different as the units dropped to 90 , the next week get another drop to 70 and at this point you will involving your anger to try staking a little bigger and at the end of the day you are busting everything.
This is the reality that most of us experienced. Dont we?

You have to understand that it could happen, if you have 100 units and you are down like 30 units, you should still continue to do what you are doing as it doesn't mean you can't recover and you'll decide to double your bet so you can easily come bank.

Bankroll management means discipline and you follow the amount per stake you need to, if you can do that consistently, for sure you already pass one of the most important steps to be a successful gambler.

Thanks for the clarification, so since the competition started on November 2 and until now there's still no winner, that means the pot now is BTC0.005 already?

This is the 4th day of competition, so 0.004BTC is the current prize for whoever gets the streak done!

BTC0.004 is a good amount already since bitcoin has skyrocketed now.
I'm starting to play the game now, I have already place my first single bet to participate in this contest, I'm hoping for my first win.

By they way, a live bet is also allowed?

Yes, live betting is allowed! Good luck  Wink

That's nice, at least I don't have to wait for a longer time to bet again, thanks for this promotion once again, I'm sure other bettors are already putting their bet now to try to hit the jackpot.

4371  Economy / Gambling / Re: primedice and stake dont show you your profit stats, it is a form of scam on: November 02, 2020, 01:27:14 PM
Understand that not every casino has the same features, they disable it for a reason but you can't call them scammy when you can ask that information from the support. You can only call them as scam if they violate the license agreement from their provider, or simply not releasing your withdrawal or not grading your winning bet. If you find not comfortable using the site anymore, there's still a lot out there which could give what you are looking for, but they are not as reputable as stake, my 2 cents.
4372  Economy / Economics / Re: Are the Central Banks starting to worry about the public's perception? on: November 02, 2020, 12:57:04 PM
I think centralized organizations like banks are worrying about the investors perception of them and not about the general public’s perception.


Yup man, I agree that the public perception that is very worried about by the central bank today is the perception of investors.  Because investor distrust of banks in a country will have a very bad impact.  They could easily withdraw large amounts of their funds from the country's banks and that was a disaster for the national financial system.  Banks with poor liquidity will be exacerbated by negative perceptions of investors withdrawing their funds.  The current central bank policy that prints money not for the productivity of production factors will have a very severe inflationary impact and this will lead to investor distrust in the country's financial management.

I doubt everyone is worrying about that, the vast majority still trust bank like they usually did.

Banks are safe as it's supported by the state and in reality, decentralized platform are no match with the centralized platform as they control the laws and regulation, our only way to excel is when government are willing to accept us as that means adoption, however, we can never be as good as the centralized currency, yes, some banks are bad but that does not represent the totality of the banking institution.

Less than 48H for the 2020 US Presidential Election !
Like your betting odds on this big event, but if I may ask, do you have a promotion on this particular event?
If there's a promotion on the US Presidential Election, we would know that as they will announce that here. I saw one sportsbook running a promotion now like a 30% cash back, that's a good promotion but not every site runs the same, Betbtc also has their own but in different events.
4374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why New Crypto Projects are Dump ? on: November 02, 2020, 12:19:59 PM
They dump because they are build by random people, people who don't know how blockchain works nor have any experience about blockchain, they copy others works, whitepaper, roadmaps and use cases just to get funds out of people, now we have lesser blockchain experts in this space, many are scammers
True, the dumping of a token price that has been generated by a project is because the foundation they built was not based on their own ideas, but they were copied from other people in order to attract the attention of all investors and traders in the market.
As an investor you should know that, before you invest, you should be reading the project's whitepaper and know the team as well, because a reputable team would always created a good project, of course start with the team because fake project will likely use fake teams so they can hide from lawsuit.

With the high rate of scam in the market, stupidity is not an excuse.
4375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: November 02, 2020, 11:35:59 AM
Wilder finally came out of hiding. In a twitter thread he threw out some conspiracy theories about Fury cheating and putting a dent in his skull. After previously claiming that Anthony Joshua had ducked him now he is saying that he was offered more money to fight Joshua but he chose to fight Fury instead. He is also demanding that Fury give him a rematch. His allegations do not seem very credible to me and by sounding so deranged he might cost himself the opportunity of ever getting a rematch.

Wow, is Wilder accusing Fury of illegally wrapping his gloves ala Margarito vs Cotto? Why did it took so long for him to come up in the public and lay claims to this? To be honest, it doesn't look good at him though, at he seems to be throwing every excuse you can find in a book, first, he said it was the custome that he used, weighting 40 lbs that drain his strength in the fight and now this?

I angry that this is out of character specially coming from Fury, the worst is that he is throwing bible quotes as well. We all hope that he is doing good, because the supposedly trilogy became a cluster fuck now.

Wrong move by Wilder, instead of acting professional, now he is acting like crazy accusing the champion of anything, I doubt this fight would still push throw, no promoter would like a boxer who does not respect the contract or does have the words, he might have forgotten that he is not anymore the champion now.

That's what my thought as well, I think it's fair to say that he honor his word after the first fight and give Fury his rematch, although according to him, he was offered more money to fight Joshua back then. But it's a different scenario back then, no Covid-19 and it's easy to set up a fight with this magnitude.

And as pointed by @bisdak40, there camp is the one delaying the fight and now that the contract has expired for a rematch, he suddenly went public with this loaded gloves accusations. Now it's turning more of a shit show and boxing fans are just scratching their heads with this new revelation coming from him.

Wilder can't do anything if Fury will not give him an opportunity to fight with him, which sympathy will Wilder get? People know that Fury is the better fighter, beat him almost twice so there's nothing to prove again. Fury is not getting any younger too, he is looking for the biggest fight of his career and Joshua could give that to him, so who would resist that opportunity, a chance to prove that he is the best, plus a chance to make huge money.
4376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting? on: November 02, 2020, 11:18:02 AM
Safe bets does not excess in sports betting, every bet you'll make regardless of the odds are always risky. Man, I'm done with that experiment and I tell you it does not work on my end, what strategy I'm using now which is I am comfortable is betting on odds 1.90 and above.

I certainly agree with you. I've done the same kind of experiment as well and I could say that there's really no guarantee of winning. I worked once but I lost more than my winnings. I think it's another way to trick us. After all, gambling is still gambling and I could say that there's no such thing as safe betting.

If we will allow the odds to trick us, we would really be trick.
We gamble, learn from mistakes and experience then we will be matured with our decision making.

Sometimes we hear someone saying the bet can't lose, that's stupid, even 1.01 odds bet could lose, so it's that does not exist.

As I was saying, I'm comfortable with odds 1.90 and above because that gives a good return and I just have to make more than I lose to obtain profit in the end.
4377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 02, 2020, 11:04:08 AM
Sometimes you hear stories of people who bet 1 usd and then suddenly win 10,000 usd which is really great if something like that happens to you. On the other hand, the chances are slim with multibets.
I'd rather go for single bets and experimental multiple bets.
There are couple of threads here that tackle about this in which with small bet he become rich.

But of course this is isolated cases only.

The reward is really attractive and it's not impossible as there are people who really won that amount, however, chance are very low so you need to be so lucky in order to win. $1 is not a big amount, you can bet that on parlay and just don't think after you bet, who knows you time will come that you are so lucky, $10,000 is big amount if you are struggling financially. s
4378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why New Crypto Projects are Dump ? on: November 02, 2020, 09:21:19 AM
Many new cryptocurrency projects copy already created technologies and therefore such projects have no future at all and it is not worth investing in such projects, also the creators of new projects simply abandon their projects for various reasons, and of course, most projects list their cryptocurrencies at scam exchanges where the price of any token will drop to zero.
I think to have an easy job in determining if a project is legit or not, we should only look at where it's listed, once it's listed in a non reputable exchanges, then you should doubt their future, but when listed in a popular and reputable exchange, you should believe that they have a chance to grow in the market as exchanges themselves are not stupid to list a scam projects.
4379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 02, 2020, 08:52:27 AM
I really like multi bets because if done correctly it will give big profit, the obstacle is that you have to do in-depth research on
the several teams that will play and this is quite a waste of time.
I doubt you'll make an easy win on multi bet even if you make a research.

Actually that "research" thing is must for every gambler if they don't want to fully rely on their luck, but despite that research thing, it's still hard to win in a parlay. Everyone their own way but per number analysis, multi bet is harder to win than on a single bet.
