And the front running as per reports is Jermall Charlo vs Canelo Alvarez next. All in-house money for PBC again. But obviously there are fans that will not like this fight, as we wanted him to face David Benavidez, but Canelo is clearly ducking him.

The big winner in this is the WBC who gets to keep milking the cash cow Canelo in sanctioning fees, plus now they have Benavidez as interim champion, and Munguia as silver champion. It's not in their interest to force Canelo to fight either of them because they would rather keep extracting fees from multiple champions instead of one. They should at least order Benavidez and Munguia to fight each other. Then Canelo won't be able to say they haven't earned an opportunity.

And that's why we say that WBC is the most corrupt organization in boxing, the Sulaiman turn it into a organization that those boxers and promoters will dictate everything and they will do nothing about it. Like as what you have describe, they are going to milk Canelo as much as they can with this fees and not enforcing Canelo's mandatory. It will be great if they can push Benavidez vs Munguia next, but I doubt it as well. They wil have to defend this guys as they could be their next cash cow, so they have to fight other names in their rankings and then Canelo going to Jermall Charlo.

Money matters and they are good in making tons of it from those fighters who choose not to force themselves into fight but instead pay the fees and keep their name on top, I guess this corruptions already dominates and fighters and their camps are enjoying it as they can just pick who they want to accept then it's an easy money to take while you are still on the top rankings.
It's been happening for a while already. But now boxers are smarter too, they know how to protect their value and as much as possible they'll keep their undefeated record and build their wins by cherry picking their opponents. The greediness happened when a boxer left his promoter to promote his own because he wants to make most of the money he is making, besides, he is the main product and it's easy to find a promoter once a fighther had already build his own name. It's money matters, yes that's true.

Promoters and those advertisers will continue to follow your name and will continue to support your fight, pay and be paid that's how
things works from WBC.

Promoters are investors, of course they'll do everything to make their investment a success. They can't give money to satisfy the fans, but it should be them to be satisfied first then the fans. That's how it works now.

It's a big risk, but I taking the Hawks by ML against the Suns, @2.40.

Suns is just leading by 1 point going into the last minutes of the 3rd quarter. And it's a close game and who knows, maybe the Suns are going to choke in this game and give it away to the home team.

I like the matchup between Murray and Booker here.

In the 4th quarter atlanta hawk is already 7 points ahead although not a significant advantage. but it seems that hawk will win this match. suns usually play out side if the shooters are stuck, they will lose.

They won the game, and they needed that win. Although it was a back and forth early, but the fourt quarter was different as Hawks have better defense and rebounding. Also, the shot of Gordon that was taken away after a review because he stepped out, that was huge, it's a 3 point shot taken from them.

Trae Young just proved that he deserve to be in an all star, he made a statement tonight with 32 points, 15 assists, and 3 steals.

Good, and to break my curse against the Phoenix Suns,  Grin.

I think Trae Young is one of the most underrated guards we have around, even playing when he has shoulder injuries before. And just like you said, they needed this win. And so they deliver.

Hopefully there are some gamblers who see that as well and put a money on them live betting.

He can create his own shot and was very accurate in this game. He was 12-17 overall but 7-11 beyond the arc. I wasn't able to bet live as I was hoping my pre game bet would win, and was happy with the result. They were at some so I'm confident that they could win the game but of course, we know KD, he ain't going anyhwhere, good thing they made some mistake and wasn't able to come back anymore.

Bradley Beal wasn't playing well, that's the reason why Hawks took advantage of that.

Beal stats are bad.  made 14 on this game but struggle his shooting at 5-16.

If you know the real value and potentials of bitcoin, you will jump to conclusion that everyday is the best time to buy bitcoin, regardless if you do it through DCA or all in buying, that depends already on your own preference. Most likely that bitcoin halving is fast approaching, then we should hurriedly prepare our bitcoin portfolio so that we can still drive the hype when bitcoin halving suddenly enters the market and make significant changes afterwards.

If you have learned something, you will surely gain and earn something. It’s the first milestone that one should take, to accumulate knowledge and basic information that would create an edge so we can be more capable to earn and gain. Without learning, one is not expected to earn, but losing otherwise is highly possible.

Learning by doing is probably the best way to earn. If you don’t have the valid experiences that will make you capable to earn, then learning in the end might be considered useless.

Looks like SMB is gonna take a 1-0 lead after this game. It was a dominant performance what SMB have showed so far, with less than 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter, they are already enjoying a comfortable 18 points lead. Everyone was contributing while Magnolia struggle to find their offense. SMB's were able to take this big lead due to their efficient 3 point shooting, the same thing what Phoenix did to the Magnolia when they win or came back from a huge deficit. This time, sure Magnolia is not going to come back anymore, SMB are just too much tonight, everything was going on their way.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you invest on this kind of offer? on: February 02, 2024, 12:20:00 PM
I think it's a different kind of bankroll.  In my own understanding, the OP of that thread talks about bankroll investment or investment in a casino's bankroll where it's use for their operation, and since casino's are profitable, the investment will grow in numbers and overtime its value will also grow, that's why there's a word "HODL" stated in the OP.

believe it’s a good way to “HODL” your bitcoin.
468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At a range of 2years, can a Bitcoin literate invest with a borrowed fund in BTC? on: February 01, 2024, 10:53:34 PM
Be it 2 years or 5 years, it’s still not safe to invest in bitcoin with borrowed funds. Bitcoin has so much volatility that you can’t even predict exactly when are you going to see it rising and profit from it, because most of the time its price even drops lower from the position you bought it. So seeing that borrowed funds growing with daily or monthly interest, that will only pressure yourself while seeing bitcoin price moves uncertainly. I suggest just save before deciding to invest, at least even if you lose all that money, it’s only yourself who will be held responsible for that.

Game 5 will start in less than 30 minutes.

The opening point spread is.

Magnolia -7.5 vs Phoenix +7.5,.. Currently it's down to 6.5
The total is 180.5 over/under

My bet is Magnolia -6.5 as I'm hoping that they will end the series tonight and that they'll be able to dominate the Phoenix for the first time. At least no more big come back from big deficit for Magnolia.


Same with you I'm also thinking of under as Magnolia needs to dominate Phoenix and not to let them to be more aggressive like what happened last game 3, they need to work with their defense where they are really good, they just need to rotate and use their every advantages to secure the win, let see what are the adjustments from both teams.

Fuelmaster will try to push this to a do-or-die game while Magnolia will try to finished it and have some rest before the finals.

It's a game of adjustment, Magnolia loss last game due to their huge mistakes, that would not happen again tonight, maybe if they'll lose but it will be a close game but they'll likely win here as they are more experience and more deserving to be in the Finals. Like what we have expected, Magnolia started with a 10-0 before Phoenix made their first bucket, but as we had witnessed in the past few games, no big lead is safe and there's still plenty of time left, so we can only guess now.

Quote
Since both are well rested, I'm expecting a highly defensive team, so it should go under 180.5.
Last 3 games outcome.

game 1 79-82
game 2 78-82
game 3 103-85

If this will be a close game then it will be a low scoring game.

Funny seeing Giannis get called for a free throw violation for taking longer than 10 seconds to shoot. Joker was counting at the refs… Giannis really needs to switch that up before it gives him problems in a big game.

........

This Giannis 10 sec free throws violation has happened many times. It's Giannis free throw routine. For me Giannis doesn't do anything special before shooting free throws; he just looks at the rim and relax for 10 seconds. Free throws have been problem to Giannis throughout his entire career, but I'm sure he can still improve just continuous practice and adjustments could help improve his free throw performance over time.
I also remember when they face the Rockets, Udoka is counting as well and it's almost 10 seconds for Giannis FT. I think his coach did a good job on him, but somewhat it did take him more time to relax that sometimes it's a borderline violation or maybe Giannis is doing it intentionally.
I'm not paying attention on it, was there really a violation? weird.. because I don't know. Well, what I have observe this season is that Giannis FT has improved, and not only that, his 3 point shooting as well. As we can see, he is improving every season, so eventually he'll maintain a good percentage in the FT for a big man.

I do agree with the latest 3 point shot contest between Curry and Sabrina Ionescu.

The old format is good enough for us as NBA fans, I guess we are still very much in the old era of the All-Star that it's hard to see new format being introduce but then there's not much hype from the fans.

I'm also not updated with the format of the upcoming all star, but I always look up the 3 point contest and is expecting that Curry will join again, maybe if Thompson could join that would be better too, splash brothers one more time please, before Thompson gets Free agent.
471  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do many people fail in trade? on: January 29, 2024, 05:39:36 PM
I believe not all traders really know and understand how to trade. Otherwise, these failed traders won’t see theirselves walking out from trading and quit for good. If they don’t have the control over their emotions and their patience is not that high to control the situation, then obviously they will not become compatible with trading.

Learning trading takes time since it has a long way of process. For those who take the shortcuts, they might be profitable for short term but eventually they will face the struggles in trading. If they are not patient and knowledgeable enough, they will never sustain the risks in trading, and see theirselves as losers in trading.

Not all newbies really but majority are, most especially that their post will get noticed once they engage with the discussion between high ranked members. Well, if they think they are posting off topic, they will eventually get criticized by their superiors but if they are posting what is good and reality, regardless of their position, superiors will definitely agree to them and praise them.

That’s why there’s no need to be afraid. Everyone started from being newbie and these highly ranked members will understand your level of knowledge. If they will criticize you, that means they have hopes for you to become something like them in the future.

Why do you think it's a mistake or lack of financial knowledge when Bitcoin is also a currency? Maybe it is, if Bitcoin is banned on that country. You even said that BTC is better than fiat. Not all times BTC had an increase in its value. But, I think this is the reason on why you think one should keep his BTC rather than spending it.

Well, thank you for your concern but we don't know, maybe those people still have a BTC left on their wallets. And then, not all BTC users are hodlers. Maybe these people are already earning well outside, so there is no need for us to worry about them. A bank can actually give us an interest but this is only small. Fiat supporters wouldn't care anyway.
The fact that he wants to pay in bitcoin, then most likely he has store enough amount of bitcoin in his wallet and he has to spend some of it to save his fiat. There’s no wrong actually to spend bitcoin since it’s also a currency, and as long as the user will benefit from it, then that should not be our concern anymore. Regardless of what he will do to his bitcoin, that’s already part of his plan. And spending bitcoin isn’t a waste of money and time, that’s also an effective way to promote bitcoin and utilize it based on its original purpose, to act as a currency.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss! on: January 29, 2024, 12:16:00 PM

Maybe the clearest fight to speculate is Casimero vs Tapales since this have more chances to happen and it already create a noise since both parties is open to set this fight to happen. We don't have date to speculate but for sure this is bound to happen since both of them have something to prove and also for now this is the biggest fight what Casimero can get so for sure he will pick up this match up.

This is a good fight to know who is the better fighter between the two because Casimero has criticized Tapales about not even competitng with Inoue as according to casimero he isn't throwing punches that could hurt Inoue. They want to make money? this should be the fight, but I think it will happen in the Philippines as they don't have a big market in the US, Filipinos will be happy, both fighters will receive a decent paycheck.

If Tapales will win, then the speculation about Inoue avoiding Casimero would become invalid.

^^^

There chance is quiet slim but if they can find good solution towards their struggle just like what Clippers did maybe they can see something helpful and  then can able to figure out how to use their roster properly and I guess their coach doesn't know how to adjust base on situation which is their main problem that's why they struggle to win.

I think the Clippers and the Lakers are on a different situation. You can see that the Clippers have 4 superstars (Leonard, PG, Harden, and Westbrook). These star players have now found a good chemistry when playing together, unlike when Westbrook was with the Lakers, it was only all criticism to him that's why he got traded to the other team.

With the Lakers, they only have Lebron and AD, both dominant big man, but the other players are just mediocre players, they are good with their defense but the Lakers doesn't have a lot of outside shooters that's why their 3 poing percentge as a team is very low.
476  Economy / Economics / Re: Save while young better than wait on: January 28, 2024, 09:59:28 PM
Start saving and creating your wealth. It’s always better to see yourself saving early so you can perform your plans successfully at your young age. And while it’s certainly a must regardless of the amount of income, but we should all know that saving alone is not the end goal, it will only serve as a starting goal so we can make a successful investment later on.

However, having sufficient amount of savings still cannot guarantee the success of any investment. You need to invest first in yourself by building your knowledge and experience which will help to achieve your end goal of why you invested in the first place.

Show what your true self is and what you are capable to do. If you are a newbie, then act as a newbie that have less knowledge and even no experience on what is happening around. That’s why you’re here because you need to create a substantial learning and build good experiences so you don’t need to pretend that you’re exceptionally good and can be as knowledgeable and highly experienced like the high ranked members in the forum.

Newbies need a lot of research and studying so they can understand the crypto space and can make quality posts and share their reliable experiences. So work on it to develop the best version of you, and not to prove to the rest of the members that you are better than then and can be more successful than them. This forum creates no competition. If you are seeing your co-members as your competitors, then you will likely thrive hard having that kind of mindset.
478  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: January 28, 2024, 02:13:30 PM
I would not say now is the best time to buy bitcoin because its price is slowly going up high. But if you want to ride with the hype when bitcoin halving comes, then invest early as today so you won’t miss another bitcoin opportunity. Just use DCA in buying gradually a portion of bitcoin so you won’t take the burden of spending a big amount of capital. Still, the most important thing is learn to manage the bitcoin risks so you won’t see yourself backing out or worst quitting from your bitcoin investment by selling it lower than the position you bought it first.

Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.
You are not the only one having this kind of problem dude, but don't worry, as long as you keep trying to learn from your mistakes you'll eventually become a responsible gambler. The community is here to help you, good thing you shared so you could also get to see the experience of gamblers like you here.

I think you should also try to talk with your friends, or your family since they know you. But if you are ashamed and you felt that this problem of yours isn't that serious and you can manage to solve it eventually, then that's okay. Read more articles related to this, watch videos as that might help you and it's free.

That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

When you are reckless you really can't enjoy gambling, so start learning how to control your emotion and everything will be easily. You don't want to stop gambling, don't you? So find a ways to stay and enjoy gambling since it's fun.

Lebron on the other hand knew that so he attacked the rim at the last overtime to get a foul and then he hit both freethrows to win the game.


I would say that it was a clutch move by Lebron, sometimes he'll just settle with 3 point shot or pass the ball as he doesn't want to take the last shot. But since he was hot during the 2nd OT, he should end the game. Honestly, I didn't expect that the two FT will sink, I mean, Lebron is not good in FT line when pressured, and he needed to make 2 to secure a victory, and good thing it happened.

I'm enjoying the game as neither team does not want to lose, and actually I bet on the Warriors hoping they'll bounce back from a disappointing lose to the Sacramento Kings, and here it happened again, it seems like they are not really good now in closing the game.

And Draymond, I'm happy he is back, and by the way, if you guys notice, the Warriors offense are flawless when Draymond is on the floor.
