4421  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 6 on: May 17, 2021, 12:02:41 PM
Logan Paul has started putting out a lot of boxing content including a recent video where he fights four of the Gronkowski brothers at the same time and manages to get the best of each one. I am hoping and I believe that Logan is going to surprise some people against Mayweather. He has clearly been putting in the work to become a better boxer and I think it is going to show. I’m still hoping for a KO by either side, but I think Logan will most likely lose by decision.
The kind of training Logan did is nothing compared to the kinds of training Mayweather did back when he was still active in his professional career, and also, the experience of Mayweather is the key factor why he will win this fight easily, if the result is the opposite, then I believe the fight is getting rig for a purpose which would benefit Mayweather more.

Don't panic, you can always click the sell button if you think bitcoin will drop more.
This is normal, we are not seeing a bull market all the time, a correction happened and we are seeing this kind of big dumps.

Just be patient if you are for the long term, but if you are for short-term investing or trading, betting convert it to stable coin now and just buy when bitcoin will dip more, I have a feeling it will go down further.

4424  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price crushed? on: May 17, 2021, 07:47:09 AM
There is no proof that Elon Musk has sold his Bitcoin, so he is in the same sinking boat with us.
Why would he make such a statement that would result in a dump of bitcoin... For a rich person like him, he can always sell and buy when the price is very low. By trading alone using his influence to manipulate, he can make millions of dollars in a single day, so it's easy for him.

But then it's just our speculation though, but it's obvious that the reason is Elon Musk's announcement about Tesla suspended in accepting bitcoin.

I dont believe that Tesla suspended accepting Bitcoin due to mining influence on the climate. Perhaps that excuse was only for the public, and real problem are legal issues. His decision made Bitcoin lose 10% of its price; same amount it gamed after Bitcoin as a payment announcement. But he did not say anything yesterday, and we see a -$5k drop. Who is responsible for that?
We don't know the real reason but the damage has been done, and his reputation in crypto now is not anymore good.
He will now be tagged as anti bitcoin.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.
For me, the best experience is if you are not wearing a mask, there's a lot of things to do in a casino, you will not only gamble but you can also enjoy different show especially in the big casino, this is Vegas, one of the biggest so once you are there, you have to enjoy since you are not doing it on a daily basis. This news would attract more gamblers, and this is safe since it's only allowed to people who got vaccinated and it always promotes that we should get vaccinated if we want to feel like living a normal life.

Anyways there are still protocol to be observed even if people are free not to wear a mask.

4426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid been carried away, it's never going to be bullish forever on: May 16, 2021, 09:32:18 PM
I'm not taking it, there's no such thing as "bullish forever". Bitcoin is in a cycle, it will be in a bullish and bearish period, that's why timing is very important when it comes to investing particularly on short-term investment, you will have to judge what is happening in the present to predict well in the future.

Now, bitcoin is down by a significant amount, we can't call that bullish and we can't guarantee its future is bullish.
4427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP is pumping now. on: May 16, 2021, 09:14:22 PM
From time to time Ripple does its own thing and outperforms other coins, but it does that in both directions. When it loses value it also loses value faster than others. I find it suspicious that it often pumps although you can't even find any relevant news that could explain the pump. That deters me from getting into Ripple.
We know that ripple is a centralized coin so its owners can do whatever they want with it, this is what I think it is happening, after all if you take a look at all the coins on the top 10 right now ripple is one of the least affected, but how this can be true when ripple is not only a bad coin but it is also going through a legal process against the SEC? And the answer is simple, manipulation is so strong on the market that it can even withstand the current drop in the markets.

Ripple is definitely one of the most manipulated coins in the market. How could it be different? The upswings and downswings are suspicious repeatedly, but they get away with it.


The bigger the amount of supply the team is holding, the more it's easy for them to manipulate. A coin with a huge supply that is price this high, we can already see there's a manipulation happening, if it's possible with bitcoin, how much more with altcoins, that's the simple logic.
4428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 16, 2021, 12:57:12 PM

I think his journey in the PBA is quite successful already.

He started playing in the year 2006, so that's 15 years in PBA and he also won 4 championships in his career.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-R_Reyes

The old guys are leaving to give that opportunity to the young guns, hopefully, this will open a slot for the young players.

All of his success is within the SMB team only, he is lucky that he has played in a good team with JMF being the consistent MVP. He is not a starter but with his experience, he was able to help the SMB to win, without a supporting player like him, a team would not succeed so he is also a big part. At age 36 and in the tough situation where we are at now, maybe he realizes that it's time to retire and focus on his life after PBA.
4429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia in Dubai on July 2021? on: May 16, 2021, 12:37:33 PM


Whether what angle you look, this is a good fight as no champion now who is willing to fight Manny. I don't think it's just about the money, maybe they still believe that Manny is hard to beat and that would tarnish their undefeated record. Well, Garcia is not anymore undefeated so he would take this fight, however, we cannot ascertain if this will happen since there's no official statement yet that it's already finalized.

Ryan Garcia is undefeated and so is Crawford and they are more than willing to fight Manny, it's not about the record it's more about the legacy, imagine being one of the guys who beat Manny and get him into retirement, Mikey is a perfect opponent for Pacquiao, I'm just afraid that he will imitate Marquez counter-punching style to beat Manny but let's see.

Two different set of fighters, although Marquez has laid down the blue print on how to beat Pacquiao, it took him a lot of fights before he figure Manny out. and Mikey is not a counter punching great, he loves to go toe to toe.

So I don't think that he will use this tactic or plan if ever this fight will push through. And I'm seeing that he will really go fight Manny and really test him in the early rounds, similar to what Thurman did. But it will be a costly mistake on Mikey (and just like the rest of the other fighters who think Manny is small and can't knock out/down them.)

It would make this fight more interesting if he would really go toe to toe against Manny as that's what he likes. Marquez beat Manny in their last fight but I would not say he is better than Manny because they fought many times and Manny beat him more than once. Some call it was just a lucky punch but let us not argue about that, what's done is done, and let's focus on Manny as he is now the active in the sport.

And it could have a negative effect on Rigo too once he read Casimero's statement.

I don't think so, they are in the business for a long period of time already, it's not new to them, trash talk and everything, these are just words and it would help to hype the fight, but the real fight is in the right, not outside.
4431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 16, 2021, 09:34:18 AM
Lakers tied with the Trail Blazers again after winning against the Pacers. If both teams win their games 1 more and Mavs lose, we will have a triple tie.
Yeah, that would be so interesting, but I think Mavs would not lose in their last game, it's Blazers who have the toughest opponent which is the Nuggets. I can see that the Lakers and Mavericks will have an easy win tomorrow.

Lots of early games tomorrow, don't miss putting a bet, the early the better.

By the way, not much excitement in the East as we can already tell the positioning now.

A triple tie to go along with a play-in tournament would be an interesting end to the regular season.  I have no idea which teams have the best record against who and how a triple tie would work out.  Hopefully one team has a better record against both others or else we might see a play-in for the play-in tournament?  It would make for some great comedy on sports shows and also I'm sure a golden quote from LeBron on his thoughts about all this since he seemed to be such a fan of the play-in already.

It's interesting and I made a research on that so we will be guided, according to this article attached, it will be the scenario.

In short,

Dallas wins, Portland wins: No. 5 Dallas, No. 6 Portland, No. 7 Lakers
Dallas loses, Portland wins, Lakers win: No. 5 Dallas, No. 6 Portland, No. 7 Lakers
Dallas wins, Portland loses, Lakers win: No. 5 Dallas, No. 6 Lakers, No. 7 Portland
Dallas loses, Portland loses, Lakers win: No. 5 Dallas, No. 6 Lakers, No. 7 Portland
Dallas loses, Portland wins, Lakers lose: No. 5 Portland. No. 6 Dallas, No. 7 Lakers

Tiebreakers

Portland owns the tiebreaker over both Dallas and Los Angeles due to winning each season series 2-1.

However, a 3-way tie between the teams would result in the Blazers getting the sixth seed due to Dallas winning a 3-way tiebreaker due to being a division winner.

Dallas owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lakers.


Hope this helps.

Miami ako +3.5 or ML baka ipahinga ng Bucks mga key players nila.

Panalo ang Bucks, naglaro ang lahat ng starters. Sa Heat hindi pala pinalaro is Butler kaya madali lang silang tinalo ng Bucks. Siguro wala ng sense of urgency ang Heat dahil okay na sila sa ranking nila at hindi na rin sila mahahabol ng Boston Celtics.



Bukas nga pala, last game na to... after tomorrow play in tournament na.

Anong mga bets ninyo kabayan?

ito mga picks ko..

New York -8.5... pwedeng i pahinga ng Boston Celtics and starters nila..
Blazers -8.5... same din, pwedeng pahinga ng Denver starters.
Dallas -7.5
4433  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: bull market end on: May 14, 2021, 02:26:14 PM
so when do you guys think this bull market is going to end.  I'm kinda balls deep in crypto, and I've make some pretty amazing returns.  But im just wondering if any of you guys think this bull run will end anytime soon.
Rumors are now coming front and back because of the sudden fall from almost every coin in the planet, Bitcoin losing 12% in just few days and ethereum from the great pump is now having only 11% up.

while i don't really think that this is an bearishness market yet i know that there are some FUD going on while ELON MUSK the great guy is now showing His stupidity in crypto space.


It's recovering but not the whole market, the most profitable coin today is DOGE with 25% increase, while the rest of the altcoins just have a minor increase. Bitcoin in the other hand had already climb back to $50k, but it's not stable yet, so I don't see it's going back to its ATH now.

Just keep it up guys and never be affected of the issue, i know that bitcoin and the whole market will recover soon.
We also have to be patient if we are going to a bear market.
4434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 14, 2021, 02:03:37 PM
@Japinat, can you put a poll so we can vote. This is a big fight, I was watching some videos on youtube and have known how successful Rigondeaux is as a boxer. If we compare the achievement of Rigondeaux against Casimero and even Inoue, Rigondeaux is more successful in his career.

His only loss is against Lomachenko, so we can't really say that Casimero would easily win here, this is a tough challenge for Casimero and I think it's 50/50 that Casimero will win.
4435  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: May 14, 2021, 01:39:21 PM
Parehas tayo, talo ang Blazers pero cover ang spread, kaya patok parin kahit paano nakabawi sa talo ko hehehe.



Congrats, muntik ng makuha ang panalo pero solve na rin dahil panalo ang handicap. Sayang lang hindi pumasok ang dalawang free throw. hehe.. Bukas kabayan, meron na ba kayong pick? Maraming laro bukas pero andito na naman ang Warriors, goods pa rin ba ito?
4436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 13, 2021, 11:55:20 AM
It's now confirmed that Meralco is the first team in the PBA that will undergo practice and training in Ilocos Sur.

No confirmation yet for other teams but it's expected that they will follow right away.

MECQ on the Bubble Plus is until tomorrow Friday, May 14. I think even if it will lift up or not, PBA will still follow the plan of opening in June or July.

July is already too long to wait, they can open the season next month, that's the announcement that we read which was posted before. The same setup happened in the previous bubble, first, they were allowed to practice, then the season was open. However, I think we will still see the same which is the All Filipino cup.

Yup, it's too long of a wait already and the NBA Finals is over by that time, there's a lull on the basketball bettors here lol.

The commissioner have said that the opening on June 15 really depends on the players themselves, on how they follow the health protocols to avoid getting contaminated by the virus. I do think that the players will do their best to impress the IATF so that they will be given the go signal to start the season. 

There future is also at stake here, so if they will not cooperate, they might face a problem in the future. PBA players are professionals, they are paid to work or play, so there's no reason they will not take the protocols lightly and violate the rules, I'm optimistic that it's going to be another success.
4437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 13, 2021, 11:34:36 AM
Lakers has a chance to be in the top 6 as they have an easier games, it's the last 2 games of the season.

These are the schedules.

Lakers last 2 games.. vs Indiana, NOP
Blazers last 2 games ... vs Phoenix, Denver
Mavericks last 2 games. ... vs Toronto, Minnesota.
Yes, Lakers went over the hump already, they've face seeded opponents and won some and now their last 2 games are winnable for them.

Blazers might go 1-1, Mavs 2-0, still going to be close though, so everyone in a needed win situation.

If Blazers will go 1-1, they will be tied with the Lakers and end up a record of 42-30, that is provided Lakers will win the last 2 games. I don't know which team then will take the rank 6 spot, will it be the Lakers or the Blazers? How it is decided?
4438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: bull market end on: May 10, 2021, 09:57:32 PM
no one knows when this bull markets will end  mate
and maybe this bull markets will stay longer, because i saw a lot of great news coming to crypto space now
so, in my predictions we will see the bull markets until the end of this year
I like it more if it's going to stay longer than what we're expecting.

The case right now is everyone starts to worry that the bull run might end anytime soon and that's why some are becoming careful buying crypto these days.

But if you solely believe to the coin you're buying and you've done your research, no need to worry just as the others are worrying about the end of this bull run.

If you hold it for the long term, there's nothing to worry about, but if not, you have to because currently the market is overvalued and what comes up must go down, I know you know what I mean. IMO, it's the best time to play with the volatility now but short term trading, when the market is bullish, it's full of speculation so the price is more volatile, just buy every dip consistently and you'll profit, you take advantage of the situation so you'll not complain even if the price will go down as you believe it will recover.

Bitcoin now is dumping, it could go below $50k again and speculation happens, but that's the trend so far, it bounce back and then fail again. Imagine, if you keep trading by just following a simple strategy like what I've mentioned, that would make you so profitable.
4439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: $1?$10?$100?What will the price of $Doge be? on: May 10, 2021, 09:36:29 PM
Sadly you try to against the hype by shorting it. I hope you have recover your funds by another coins.
But dont trap on a same hole by investing Doge, the price was hard to predict when the analysis was based on Elon tweet or another else which have no indicator.
There is a pure manipulation happen, and that involves a few numbers of whales only which makes it very risky for the small investors if their greediness will drive them to FOMO, they should have already cash out and not wait for $1 or more, anytime DOGE could dump and regret always comes at last.

And you know that whales are already in profit once DOGE will dump as they are the ones responsible since they have sold or cash out their investment already, or probably transfer to another crypto.

I didn't know that Joe Devance got covid-19. He has shared how it's hard to fight the battle. I hope that other players would take care of themselves and learn from his experience.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/joe-devance-shares-battle-vs-covid-19-a2437-20210509)

Some people do not share their experience as they don't want to be judge, good thing Devance is open and just trying to help people by sharing his experience, but I guess he is okay now, so he can start training once the PBA training will start.
Yes. He's already in recovery and this is a wake-up call for those people that still don't believe that the virus doesn't really exist or believes in those conspiracies.
I hope that other players won't have it so that there would be no more sad stories like this.

Awareness matters, cause even you are actively doing your routine and you have all the vitamins that you need once covid hits you then it's  a tough battler recovering from this virus.

DeVance experienced serves a good wake up call to all the people who still believes that this is just a hypes that government use to scared the people, it's for real and no one can escape from this virus if you'll not going to take care of youself.

For all the players, they should be more careful a even healthy co-players got been triggered and now in it's recovering stage, keep safe and be aware in anything around you.

Some players lack education and think that they can handle the virus, but here, we can feel what Devance felt based on what he shared, and we can also realize that covid-19 does not choose whether you are young and healthy. The vaccine is definitely what they are preparing for now as they don't want this to happen during the return, it will ruin everything and it also means a waste of money, time, and effort.
