On the 135 lbs division, news says that Tank Davis next opponent will be Frank Martin.

Remember though that Martin supposedly agree verbally in terms to fight Shakur Stevenson last year. But Martin back out in the last minute and Shakur fought with a lackluster performance against Edwin Delos Santos.

So let's see if this will be official in the next couple of days. The fight will be for the WBA lightweight title.

Medyo salungat lang ito sa policy ni coins.ph na naging main reason kung bakit naban at restricted ang account ng karamihan ng users nila. Dahil yung funds ay nagmula sa gambling website, pero ngayon isa na sila sa naglagay ng gambling casino sa wallet nila. Ano yun sa ibang website bawal or magiging restricted, pero pag promoted nila, okay lang?
As per their current User Agreement: (di ko alam kung ito na rin yung nakasaad dyan nung di pa nila pinopromote ang Bingo Plus)

Illegal or Prohibited Gambling: The conduct of online gambling, lotteries, casinos and informal gambling, gaming operations, sports betting, and other games of chance and forms of speculation not authorized or licensed by a government agency duly empowered by law to license or authorize the conduct of such activities;

Partake in any transaction involving online gambling except where permitted by Betur Inc., Coins Pro, Coins.ph.

At dahil regulated at may license galing sa PAGCOR kaya allowed ito sa kanila at pinopromote na rin nila.


Ganun na nga. Basta registered ay okay lang sa kanila gaya nitong Bingoplus at iba pang games na nasa app nila ngayon. Marami ang restricted account sa coinsph dahil galing daw yung iba sa gambling or yung iba naman ay naglabas lang ng malaking halaga sa account nila kahit hindi galing gambling ay restricted agad.

It boils down to business ika nga, siguro epekto rin talaga na proliferated na ang gambling sa pinas. Isa ako sa mga unang nag reklamo tungkol dyan sa coins.ph nung ma ban, at un-ban at na ban at account ko sa kanila.

At dahil wala nang monopoly ang coins.ph ngayon, wala na silang nagawa dahil baka malaos sila kaya ayun pinatulan na rin nila ang gambling.

Wala na tayong magagawa dun sa mga account natin na luma sa kanila na ni restricted or even na ban dahil sa gambling. Ang mahalaga sa kanila ngayon ay kumita hehehe.

Any responsible adult should know the difference between what they can and can’t afford to lose when gambling. It isn’t difficult to set a budget, I understand some people can go too far but you have to have conviction in managing your own gambling risk.

Most reputable casinos and sportsbooks promote responsible gambling but really, you have to take control yourself. You can not blame anybody else for your gambling failures

Yes, that is true, casino's promoted "responsible gambling", but it is still up to us as a adult on how to control our gambling activity. Well you can set aside money and says that you can play and afford to lose that one.

But still there could be moments that you become out of control. One of the things that I learn throughout my gambling is that it's based on emotions. So if you can't control this emotions, then even with a budget, you can still go overboard and lose everything.

Pwede siguro mga palaro, meron naman tayo dito dati, marami ring sumasali kahit hindi gambling site sponsored, pwede yun ulitin kung mag sponsor sila. Pero dapat meron din sa games and rounds board.

Naabutan ko dn dati na sobrang active ng mga giveaways dito galing sa mga OG users. Marami na dn kasi umalis sa forum pagkatapos ng bounty season nung 2017 kaya medyo tumumal na ang activity dito sa group. Halos nasa mga social media group na tumatambay yung mga whale crypto holders natin compared dito sa forum.

Pero sobrang dami talagang crypto gamblers sa bansa natin ngayon na nasa social media dahil mas gusto nila mag content para sa bayad at less chitchat dito sa forum.

Anyway hindi pa nag oonline ang Bk8 account para makita ang suggestion natin. Sana ay makuha natin attention nila para ganahan naman mga sugarol dito sa local board natin.

Malamang nakita na nila to pero siguro antay antay lang muna tayo.

At tama ang dami nang gambling influencer sa bansa natin at sana na makita nila ang BK8 at malay natin gamitin din nila so malaking exposure na to.

Two more days until the return of NBA basketball. I think I’m going through withdrawals. There haven’t been many moves as far as signing players either. Hopefully the players return refreshed and healthy to make a run into the postseason. I expected the Warriors to make some signings or something. Weird there aren’t more free agents finding homes.

Looks like most of the teams in the NBA don't need any additions to their rosters and they just gonna fix their rotations instead of adding more players to disrupt their chemistry, especially those star players. So far, the teams that we expect to reach the playoff tree are doing good and they also dominate the league this season like the Boston Celtics, I wonder if they could keep that up and make some more wins until the end of the season games. Also, they are expected to reach the NBA finals this year since the Bucks are likely to be choked because they chose an incompetent coach instead of adding more role players to help them win more games.

In the case of Bucks, yeah, Giannis will be tested here specially in the playoffs, it's obvious that they are not the same team anymore. I mean they have added Dame, and it's good, but the chemistry is still in question right now. There are games that they look solid and championship team, but most of the time, they were defeated by a low caliber team.

And then they changes coaches in the middle of the season, and this could really help them in a bad way if they don't know how to keep on winning under coach Rivers. And assuming they reach the playoff, we all know that coach Rivers have history of choking.

Rivers has been getting hit pretty hard in the media this week. Especially after the JJ Redick comments. Add that to Dame leaving Giannis off his starting 5 if he could pick anyone and you have a recipe for some trouble brewing behind the scenes in Milwaukee. They have the talent to go all the way, but the chemistry needs work.

Yes, and I think we should expect it because of their poor showing under him. Just like when media criticize Harden as well when he joined the Clippers, everyone is on the offensive but now it's very different as they started to win games.

So let's see how Doc Rivers will respond in the second half of the season. Perhaps if he can rise to the occasion all his critics will be quiet including JJ Redick's attack on him. Although again, he has history of choking but hopefully Giannis or Bucks will not be the next player to suffer the fate like the Sixers or Clippers before under Rivers.

On the other hand, as per Michael Benson,

https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1760378377184084450

Quote
Michael Benson
@MichaelBensonn
‼️ Al Haymon's PBC are reportedly ready to pay Canelo Alvarez his guaranteed purse said to be "around $35million" for a fight vs Jaime Munguia on May 4th, but not if he insists on Jermall Charlo. It's claimed PBC believe fight vs Munguia would sell better. [According to ESPNmx]

So Canelo is being offered a big $35 million to fight Jaime Munguia of Golden Boy. And that is big money, that is only guaranteed without the PPV and live gates sales. And again, Michael Benson is a reliable source and if by chance Canelo didn't pick Munguia and instead pick Charlo, then we all know that he is taking less risk in his career now.

I don't gamble half asleep, I would rather take a break or nap first. Sometimes I gamble in the morning though, whether online or offline. But I haven't taken drugs in my life and for sure it will be a bad combo, of gambling, specially high stakes when you are under a influence of drugs.

And we all know that drugs alone has a negative impact on anyone, so your friend is just making it worst. It's good that he tell you about it, and you give him good advise. And it's a question whether he will follow.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Beterbiev vs. Bivol - Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship on: February 21, 2024, 09:03:49 PM
I have little knowledge about dopings but Beterbiev was given the go signal which means he passed the VADA test. And I believe VADA is the strictest when it comes to doping tests.

Maybe they saw something not normal in Beterbiev's body but still not illegal. What I heard from the past though is that the Russians have the best laboratories and technology when it comes to hiding doping substances. Same reason why Russia was blocked during the last Olympics.

Anyways, hopefully, both fighters are clean and the fight must go on. It's just a shame Beterbiev only has the chance for the undisputed at this stage of his career. He won against Usyk in the amateurs and gave him hell during their 3 encounters which saw the Ukrainian legend struggle, knocked down, and hurt even with helmets on.

This is just a big question mark for Beterbiev at this point, again, I'm no expert, but maybe those found in him are not PED, but most likely some testosterone replacement. Anyhow, it VADA clears him, then it's good. But in this fight there could also be drug testing, so we will see if they will find the same result or he is clean with no atypical findings.

The odds is still the same for now, Bivol is the slight favorite, only ML is available yet, but for sure we will more options specially the KO odds for Beterbiev.

469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Taylor vs Catterall - April 27 on: February 21, 2024, 08:26:49 PM
And so Eddie Hearn is comparing the grudge match on Froch vs Groves,

Quote
In November 2013 Carl Froch and George Groves met in Manchester for Froch’s unified super middleweight title. After a fractious build-up and nine rounds of savagery, the referee Howard Foster’s decision to step in and halt the fight in Froch’s favour took their rivalry to a new level.

Froch and Groves capitalised on the controversy of their first fight and rode the momentum to a sold-out Wembley Stadium six months later. Froch concluded that rivalry with an eighth-round stoppage in a fight that captured the public’s imagination.

https://www.boxingscene.com/taylor-catterall-hearn-echoes-froch-groves--181597

But I think this is different though, there was no knockout or knockdown in the fight and it was just Jack Catterall is a bad match-up for Josh Taylor that time and we might say he could have underestimate Jack that time.

I would also agree that this is a big fight for either, Catterall to get up in the rankings for 140 lbs and even become a mandatory, and then for Josh, he needed this big win, to at least have a future fight in 140-147 lbs as a lost would obviously will obviously take a big toll on him mentally.

Ngayon meron akong problema na pinagtatakhan ko lang ay bakit hindi ko maiad yung isang Address account ko sa electrum sa new desktop ko na bago kung saan ay nagdownload ako ng electrum dito sa llatest version nya din gayong tama naman yung seed phrase na nilagay ko at lumalabas sa electrum ay hindi nagiging clear yung next, sa halip dapat magclear na siya o maging visible?  Pero nung sinubukan kung iopen ito sa lumang desktop pc ko sa cpu nito para idouble check yung seed nya ay tama naman sa nakasave sa akin.
Since na double check mo na yung seed phrase mo, then most likely yung version na ginagamit mo sa kabila is masyadong luma o kaya hindi galing sa Electrum yung seed phrase na ginagamit mo doon... Subukan mong pindutin yung Option button sa enter seed stage, tapos icheck mo yung BIP39 seed [feeling ko ito ang solusyon sa problema mo].

Siguro palitan ko nalang kesa mag-isip pa ako. Sadyang nagtaka lang talaga ako.
Yes, mas maganda kung newly generated yung seed phrase mo [kahit may laman pa yung luma mong wallet, ilipat mo nalang habang mababa pa ang mga transaction fees].

Heto rin ang iniisip ko na baka luma ang Electrum nya na yung time na hindi pa nila suported ang Bip39. Pero napakaluma naman talaga ng version ni OP, hehehe. Kung sabagay sabi nga nya eh gapang ang mga applications at sa sobrang bagal eh binalibag na nya.

Ganito na lang din talaga gawin mo OP.

From lumang Electrum send mo yung BTC mo sa bagong version ng Electrum mo para less hassle sayo na iisipin pa kung anong problema nyan.

472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo vs Jermall Charlo 4th May 2024 in Las Vegas on: February 20, 2024, 09:36:26 PM
As expected Canelo preferred Jermall over Benavidez I don't think Jermall can do better than his brother although he is a better version Canelo is just too powerful and too skillful for the Charlo brothers, although Jermall cannot be considered a cherry-picked fight for me since he is also a champion, it's just Benavidez is a more challenging fight than Jermall, he can bring more to the boxing community.
The boxing experts were right when they said Benavidez is not on Canelo's radar, although Benavidez has earned his right to fight Canelo, when you are on top you have the luxury to fight who you want to fight, this is to protect your status, and this is not right.

Yes, Canelo said that he will not fight another Mexican so there goes our wish to see him and Benavidez in the ring. Also take note that Jermall Charlo is a career middleweight fighter so he has to go up to super middleweight.

He had a big gap in activity because of mental issues on his side, fought Jose Benavidez Jr, as his comeback fight but there's nothing convincing when he beat Jose.

So Canelo is going for less riskier fight for this year, after this he still has one fight left in his contract with PBC. So there will be another guessing game for us.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A famous influencer lost more than $4000 in just 2 minutes. (2) on: February 20, 2024, 08:59:50 PM


Even with a rich guy gambling, still has this regret he just made, so how much more for an average guy to take the risk of spending his hard earned money just to gamble?

Have you experienced this kind of situation wherein you spend huge amount of money and then regret after the loss? Is your reaction the same with that guy on the video?

That's 250k in the guy's local currency, it is huge it's a one-year earning of a minimum wage earner in that country and he lost that amount in just 2 minutes that's frustrating and by smashing the keyboard we can assume that he is frustrated and he cannot take his losses, I don't know the guy but when you're betting a huge amount of money you have to realize the two scenarios that could happen, he only think of winning so his reaction is something surprising and anger him.
The guy has 8 million followers if I am one of his followers I would unfollow him because he is a bad example of a guy who wastes money easily.

Yep, 250M PHP and that is huge money for us here, quarter of a million PHP. And his reaction is just like the rest of us when we lose big money in gambling. But I think him playing with this huge money, he can recover it right away as he has a lot of followers and viewership.

Anyhow, we already know that it's a risk, we don't know the outcome of the game and obviously in his case, he made a bad decision. Could he regret it? maybe. However, if he can make back that money in just a week then he will be back to gambling again for sure.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 20, 2024, 08:26:58 PM
They should really forced Canelo to fight Benavidez if they see him as their interim belt holder.

But Alas, they won't do that, they will let Canelo off the hook and they can do whatever they want as long as the Sulaiman's is still in the WBC.

They will only push that fight if they know Canelo will win easily since this has no assurance, they will just further delay it and brainwash the fans with some other opponents which is not gonna work since everyone in the boxing industry knows already what they are cooking. Unlike before, whenever there is a fighter that could give them a challenging fight, they will quickly fix everything until they make the fight happen as soon as possible because no one wants to delay such a historical fight but today, we always see such kind of thing whenever there is a boxer that could potentially beat them, they avoid them until they became old or no longer have the same skills as he used to be and then they accept the offer.

That is not the job of the governing body to see if Canelo is going to win or not, or for any boxer. Their have mandated job is to keep their organization intact, rank their boxers and let them fight each other for the belts. They have 2 champions if you are going to look at it, David Benavidez as interim and then Canelo Alvarez as their regular champion. In a perfect world there should only be one champion and so the obvious path for WBC is to let their supposedly 2 champion fight for it to become their single champion that will represent their organization. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen as they allow Canelo to call the shots.

They should really forced Canelo to fight Benavidez if they see him as their interim belt holder.

But Alas, they won't do that, they will let Canelo off the hook and they can do whatever they want as long as the Sulaiman's is still in the WBC.

I double check mo ang lahat, baka na overlook mo lang ang mga words na yan. Nangyari na rin sa kin yan at ayun nga, may mali lang ako sa isang seed phrase ko sa spelling. O mali yung pagkakasulat mo, kaya kung kaya mong balikan ung luma mong PC at itabi mo sa bago, word per word mong tingnan at suriin mong mabuti ang mga spelling.

Rare double double though for Dame, winning the 3 point competition and then the MVP, we've seen for the first time 200 points were surpassed.

And I read that there is a teas for next year 3 point, it could be the splash brothers, Steph Curry + Klay Thompson, vs Sabrina Ionescu + Caitlin Clark. This 3 point shoot up is the saving grace for this year's All Star, everyone wanted to watch how Steph will do against Sabrina, and Steph shows who is the greatest shooter in the planet right now, although Dame as well could be in the discussion.

And as expected, during the face-off

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NsFLfgPx-b8

They have to be separated, and it looks like there is no love lost between the two, hehehe.

Taylor though for me looks heavier here, so yeah probably walking about 140 lbs, and hopefully we can make the weight as he said that it could be either at 140 or 147 lbs they will have to fight. But here it's obvious that it will be 140 lbs.

Odds are out now, Josh the favorite

Taylor - 1.69
Catterall - 2.09

Edit: you can also search for the whole press conference if you like, to see how's everyone is animated, including Jack's trainer.
479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 19, 2024, 09:07:32 PM
There have been saying that before you win a game in gambling, you would have lost enough funds and that means you didn't win any new or extra money to yourself but the casino return part of your money which you have lost before to you. And some will still say that what about those who have not playing gamble before and they won in their first day in gambling. Well those people newly converts to the gambling system will still dash the casino company that win again because the first time win is always to lure them to the system and making them to perpetual adoration to gamble. And I don't think someone in the gambling industry has as a win win gambling history. Or you wins are bigger than the loss. And all the experiences I have in gambling I have not seen that and also those of my friends who are gamblers have not to me that they only win and there is no loss record in their gambling history. And all the ones I have seen and known, the loses are more than the wins. And when I carefully look at the argument I also accept the assertion that what you win was part of your loss. Is that true? Make your input.

That could very well be the definition of gambling, it's either you win or you lose. And it's true, we don't record anything, although if we play online, there could be some logs, but still we don't know how much money we lost, the only thing that gambler tell us is how much we win.

I have a who is like that, he will always boast of his wins, but there was a time when he accidentally shows us his losses in his phone not his win and for us it looks like the money was not returned to him by the casinos itself as he has string of losses early and he just recoup it with that one big win of his.

Sobrang baba na ng fee in terms of sats since bumalik na ito sa normal amount range na 10sat/vB to 20sat/vB. Ang problema lang ay sobrang taas naman ni Bitcoin kaya halos sa 100php pa din pumapalo ang average fee cost kapag converted sa peso.

Nakakapang hinayang tuloy magtransfer weekly ng Bitcoin funds dahil malaking amount din ang nagagamit sa fee kapag dumami na ang transaction. Tapos ang nakakabanas pa dito ay yung potential na mag crash ang Bitcoin price while iniipit mo yung Bitcoin mo para magtipid sa transaction fee.

May mga panahon na kahit 1 sat/vB pasok ang transaction natin, so maganda na bumaba sa ngayon na around 10-20 sat/vB. Pero mas ok parin talaga yung ang baba ng transaction fee katulad ng sabi ko, sana mabalik parin yun regardless kung pumalo ang presyo sa $100k or more sa darating na bull run.

Ngayon eh nasa $50k++ na tayo, at pag pasok ng halving, alam na natin ang mangyayari, bull run na ulit at sana nga walang increase ng fee, on the contrary, sana bumaba pa at maging normal sa 1 sat/vB.
