⚡ The maintenance work is complete, the website is back up ⚡

Now I cant find the privacy policy and terms page after the maintenance, did you remove them? If you did remove these pages, means that you have no terms and policy at all now? One more question, how about the fairness of your game? I do not see any information related to the fairness of your games, does it mean that your games are not provably fair?

Yeah, I thought that they are going to update them with the new TOS specially about the provably fair of their casinos.

Unfortunately, I can't find them despite the update. Anyhow, we can still gave them time to do that. I mean they are here for constructive criticism so let's hope it will be included in their next maintenance phase.

And it's better if they are going to inform us prior to the maintenance so that there will be no surprises. That's how most of the services are going, not just gambling sites per se.

in terms of Crawford, he will have now that chance after moving partway from Arum, if this negotiation
materialized the money that at stake will give him a decent amount of earnings.

I'm pretty sure that this fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence will be a blockbuster fight and expect more money to flow here. No need for any hype honestly as these fight takes several years in the making and most boxing fans waited for this. Aside from that, Spence Jr.'s PPV and ticket sales are impressive and always sold out early right away when his fights were just officially announced.

Money is not a problem here. Legacy is the most and being an undisputed welterweight champion is a great achievement.

Errol Spence on Terence Crawford fight: “It’s closer now than it’s ever been”

Yep, I read this article as well, so definitely a lot of things have been going on in the background and it seems that it is really closer more than ever and hopefully this can be made this year.

Otherwise, if negotiation falls apart then definitely this fight might not be made again. Crawford has been very vocal about it, severing his tie with Bob Arum and then maybe accepting the lesser purse. But if that is not enough to make this happen, then I don't know what will be the hindrance.
4363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 11, 2022, 08:44:15 AM
Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

That is part of it I guess, there is no entertainment if you don't spend money. And casino's are the perfect example of it. You play let's say in a land base casino, the moment you step it, adrenaline is already rushing, you see lots of people playing winning big and then some live bands performing, drinks everywhere. And so you are suckered into that energy, you lost control of everything, endorphins shoot up in your body and you are 'high' and wanted to gamble your money.

Just finished watching this documentary for Steph Curry titled "Silenced" by Trice High.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZuWSiWQLN0
If you are a Curry fan this will touch your heart and will feel the enormous weight that was lifted in Steph Curry's shoulder after being bashed and criticized about how he won't be back to the championship and how he cannot bring a team to the top.
The title was spot on. That's the correct word to define it all. Inspiring for NBA players that are aiming for the same goal.
"What are they going to say now?"

Thanks for the link, I will watch it later though.

But if you see Curry's emotional outburst after game 6, you will feel that something has been lifted in his shoulder winning the NBA this season when there have been a lot of chatters and noise behind team. He is not that vocal though, it as Green but they have walk the talk and so they silence all their critics with this huge win. For sure they will have to find another one just to bash or harsh critic them at the start of the new season, specially if they started on a bad note because the supporting cast has all gone now.

I try to look at the ticket sales and it seems that there are a lot of tickets available.

Not saying that Garcia doesn't have the crowd draw, but it seems his dancing partner is the problem as Fortuna is not a A-class fighter. The fight is next week already, so hopefully we will see a block buster fighter and tickets are are sold, just saying.

In a country like ours? yeah, might be good to hide their names and faces because they might be a target for criminals here. But I think there are countries who exposes their lottery winners, maybe just to proved that someone really won their lottery and it's not rigged or something. So it's really up to the winners on how they are going to protect themselves and their winnings too. They might be a target for their relatives hehehe, we know how Filipinos are, who have a lot of extended families. Hopefully, the winner will learn where to invest the money they have won so that they can live a better life with their children and their next generation.
4367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: July 10, 2022, 11:58:25 AM
I guess majority of us here lost our bet on Magsayo. When I saw how the round is going in the first 4, I said to myself that this is a difficult fight for Mark and he will have to knock out Vargas in order to win. He won't win on the judges score card for sure.

There is no cheating, it was a fair score by the judges,  Magsayo was just short of his effort but it is what it is. He has to accept and move forward. If there will be a rematch good, if not then Magsayo needs to double up and work very hard again.
4368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 09, 2022, 11:37:31 PM
Although I'm disappointed with the news that Manny Pacquiao will come out of retirement by participating in an exhibition match, that's his life.

As a fan of Manny, just it's pretty disappointing to see him on the bandwagon on what Floyd has started for retired boxers. But we have to understand where Manny is coming from.

He thinks that's fine or maybe he missed fighting in the ring already. I just don't understand why it should be against a Youtuber and not a real boxer that also on retirement now. With his impact, he can challenge those retired big names in an exhibition match and makes more money.

Looks like Manny is willing to ruin his legacy, well that's his career so I hope he will be happy with his decision:)

I don't think it will ruin his legacy though, Floyd just got on the HOF recently, and for sure Manny will in the next couple of years. Maybe he really missed the action or just another job for him and his family, to continue to make money through his God given talent.
4369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Web5 a "catch phrase"? on: July 09, 2022, 11:06:49 PM
Do we really understand first what Web 3 is? I doubt it, so why they are inventing like something new that it's predecessor is not even clear for the majority?

So for me, and to be honest, no one really care, if Web 3.0 for them means DAO, NFT then so be it. Maybe what's clear for them is to make money. Just like what bitcoin is the beginning, everyone is really into the background, the open source the people behind, the technology. But once it found it's way to make money for ordinary people, then they totally forget about it's root.

I guess this is the effect of the war in Europe. Perhaps they have been in worsening scenario already with the pandemic, but it then added when they can't buy fuel, they don't have enough foreign currency to pay. And worst, it was reported that they only have a week supply of fuel left.

Not sure if a revolution is needed to change who is heading the government, but they are in dire problems, and in the verge of collapse. China might step up to help though.

[..snip..]

Lol, heard this argument many years ago, but come to think of it, if the new set of investors are thinking the same, we should be dead by now right? But last year alone, we reaches new all time high.


So the question is is there are clear plan and path way to resolve those mentioned issues so the non traders non speculators or swindlers will start to adopt and get in crypto and use it daily ?
Also t b honest you cant pay taxes of crypto its a on gambling stage right now and any earning is just luck
Its like u walk in the park find 50$ bill and u paying taxes of this ?

I guess those who have been in this market for so long, or at least see the up and down in 2107 bull run and then the subsequent bearish cycle knows how to work with this so called "flaws". And it's going to be a vicious cycle, so it's up to you to adopt or go with the traditional way of investing like stocks or other commodities.
4372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 09, 2022, 04:13:02 PM

And he has been criticized as well by many basketball analyst, leaving Nets and then the Warriors winning the championship? That could really hurt Durant inside that's why he wanted to leave and find a new team to win again. But time is running out, it will be hard to find a championship caliber team in exchange of him.

Actually Durant should not be surprise that the Warriors won a championship because the Warriors are already a championship team before he joined the team. He only made the Warriors better but they are still good even without him, as Draymond said, "we don't need you", he was right.

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/11/16/draymond-green-reportedly-told-kevin-durant-we-dont-need-you-we-won-without-you-leave/

This is the reason why Durant join the Warriors because he know that this is already a championship caliber team and he will get more higher chances to get a ring with them compare if he stays in OKC. Now its proven that he cannot lift up his team when he's on Brooklyn and this one indicate that they don't need Durant to win another championship.

I think it's not just Durant that has been affected by the Warriors winning, obviously though he is the first one to be impacted. The whole NBA has to evolved again, imagine former players of Warriors getting good pay after just one year, maybe teams know they have the experience already. West teams like the Wolves as well, maybe thinking of getting big could offset the Warriors by getting Rudy Gobert. And I mean everyone is upgrading their roster now because the Warriors has raised the bar again, winning their 4th and definitely wanting to stop them to get their fifth. So that is the "Warriors effect".
4373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Recent Experience at a Land-Based Casino on: July 09, 2022, 10:56:08 AM
The casino will understand the case so I doubt that they will fire the casino worker. It's just the circumstances, and in any case, the casino can even ban the man from their floor, they also have that right to do so if they wanted to help him. And maybe the casino worker can do is to tell the casino so that they will eventually exclude him.

A casino worker can't just ask the casino manager to exclude that person from entering the casino. Why should a casino do that if that's their customer? The person involved is not even doing some illegal things or having a bad attitude toward that casino. It's just that an alarming thing happened because the worker yelled at that person that caught the attention of anybody.

It's not just a casino worker though, it's a relative of the person so he knows what is going on with that guy. Of course it's business for them, if he losses everything in their casino's good, but at least let their casino worker explain and maybe they will have some sympathy or maybe tell their casino worker what will be the best recourse of action (intervention, gambling rehab etc..).

4374  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Registers as a Digital Assets Service Provider in Spain on: July 09, 2022, 10:23:41 AM
It looks like we'll more countries accepting them. This also reminded me of the time CZ visited Philippines last month and talked about Binance applying for a license to operate as a Virtual Asset Provider (VASP) in the country.

Yep, but for sure majority of us Filipinos took advantage of Binance in our country, win-win, and I'm taking advantage of it because they support local banks and virtual wallet (G-cash), at least we have more options. So meaning competitions might drive services and produce features for the better.

So I'm not surprised by this another expansion by CZ in Europe. And this could be just the beginning for CZ having his foothold in EU. But there will be such time that CZ will be so powerful, just saying.
4375  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for July on: July 09, 2022, 09:48:53 AM
We can tbh.  Next resistance in the daily chart is at 28k and the bounce could very may well reach that imho.  But we'll see.  Crypto has been very sensitive to any kind of bad news lately.  You know...  The bear market of things.  Total opposite of the bull market when a little bit of good news would pump a random coin around 5x in just a week.  Cheesy  That's when the market is easy to trade.  The one we're having rn should mostly be avoided.  Then again, I could be wrong.  17.5k could be the bottom.  But as I always say, we'll see...  Nobody can really predict these things.

I would like to think that the worst is over and that for the rest of the month we will be in the range of 22,000 to 28,000 USD. As you say nobody predicts these things but it looks like we are not going to go below USD 20,000 again, which is a very cheap price for the cycle we are in, and in the future people will look back and think: 'I wish I had bought at 20,000'.

Not sure though if the worst is over, we still have the last quarter for this year, although historically last quarter specially the month of November-December might be good even in bear market, but we are still not out of the woods yet. There could be some announcement from Fed that might affect the price this July or the next coming months. But if you are talking $22k this month, yeah it could be achieved easily as we are almost on that price range already.
4376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: July 09, 2022, 08:51:22 AM
There is less than a day left before the fight and now the boxers' chances are leveled and the adds return to the original ones, let the strongest win, but I will still cross my fingers and wait for Mark Magsayo to win.


We have to unite here to support Magsayo on the biggest challenge in his boxing career.

He knows how big is at stake here, his current belt and his future depend on the outcome of the fight, so he has to win this.
Magsayo by KO, that is my prediction.

Same prediction here, there's no other way but a KO win is what would make Magsayo impress the boxing community. Lots of criticisms in the past, but he is here again to prove that he is a legit champion and he is going to successfully defend his belt.

Magsayo to win by KO @5.18, hoping my ticket will hit.

Of course, we gonna support our boy here, Mark by KO or by decision. As I have shown earlier, I have put a ML already for Mark and then tomorrow before the fight for sure I will bet again.

Here is some predictions, from SP (Shawn Porter)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qdiyW9KWI4

And it's also good to hear what we have been saying about that this could be the break out fight for Mark just like Pacquiao in 2003.

4377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 09, 2022, 08:22:44 AM

I guess Bob's careful match making, and that's why he made a lot of champions, and not sure about it, but perhaps it was all in-house championship fights.

But not all boxers loved his style, I believe there are plenty of boxing superstars that left his promotion because they are not getting the fights they like. Just like Manny Pacquiao, when he left Bob, he had the full freedom to choose the boxer that he lights to fight, and Manny had already earn more money in a fight since Bob has no more slice of the revenue.

If I'm not mistaken, Bob let Pacquiao go, I guess Arum really knows that Manny is already way past his prime. But Pacquiao prove otherwise, winning against Thurman, but that was his last straw. And maybe Arum is right for not signing Manny anymore. As he can build someone to become a champion and make money for them, he can also destroy one's career.

https://www.bostonherald.com/2012/03/18/costly-error-by-gamboa/

Quote
Gamboa had agreed to face Rios in what was a highly anticipated matchup of young lions, only to suddenly refuse to even attend a series of press conferences around the country to hype the fight. Instead he was silently training at Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s gym in Las Vegas, leading to wide speculation that he intended to jump from Arum to Mayweather’s promotional company.

Not surprisingly, HBO pulled the plug on Rios when it became obvious Gamboa had no intention of fighting. Arum is now doing the same on Gamboa, filing a suit against him in federal court in Nevada for breach of contract alleging he has full paperwork indicated that Gamboa (20-0, 16 KOs) had agreed to the bout’s terms and was still under exclusive promotional contract with Arum. In addition to Gamboa, Arum is also suing a number of unnamed promoters alleging tortuous interference with his contract. Arum’s suit also claims Gamboa accepted $70,000 in advances against the purse after signing for the fight.

And then his career was put to a stop, and after he was cleared to box, he was just a shell of his old self and never reaches the pinnacle of his career.

any developers ng coins.ph here? na pwedeng mag bigay ng info to what is really happening kasi if in case man legitimate yung complaint then, threatening yung ganitong hinain. akalain mo yun, nag endorse pa naman ako na legit gamitin ang coins.ph para less hassle sa mga superior ko sa trabaho tas may pa refer refer pa ako kunwari para may 50 pesos, tapos ito lang yung makikita ko? hala na!!! dapat magawan to ng paraan.
Unfortunately wala ng active representative ng coins.ph dito.

Ito ang ANN thread nila, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1558587.0), pero ito OP (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=879966), october 2016 pa lang last active nila. Maganda sana kung mabalik nila ang active na ANN thread dito para update tayo.

Pwede mong i request yan kabayan sa support nila, at saka, yung refer mo, hindi mo naman kasalanan kung merong mangyari sa account nila kasi may rules naman na pina follow ang coins.ph.

Unfortunately, nangyari na rin sa kin to in the last couple of weeks. So ang ginawa ko eh ang comply sa kanila at pabalik balik ng emails para maliwanagan.

At nung nakapag bigay na ako ng mga info na kailangan nila, I have to wait "8-15" days daw na parang reviewihin, questionin ko sana na bakit ang tagal eh lahat naman ng documents na may pangalan ko at nasa kanila na.

Kaya I would agree na maghanap rin ng ibang options, so far panalo ang P2P ng Binance na Gcash, hehehe Minsan 2k or may araw na 30k or higher na palitan walang problema at ang bilis pa at konti lang naman din ang kaltas sa USDT.

How can a newbie invest in good altcoins? I know about BTC and ETH but I think I can make more money from altcoins instead of BTC and ETH, I did my research and I have a few projects in mind but I don't know if they are worthy..

Avalanche, Mina protocol, Phala network and Aleph Zero to name a few

There is no right or wrong investment in crypto, it's that the risk is very high in specially in altcoin. Who would have thought that a solid coin like Luna will crash? reaches all time high then, break in the top 10, then suddenly the price literally went to 0?

So you can do all the investigations on your end and find what suits you, but still at the end of the day, it is not a perfect world, we don't know what the future holds. Perhaps Avalanche, Mina protocol, Phala network and Aleph Zero will go on a bull run and succeed or it will fail miserably.
