4701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: April 30, 2022, 06:57:27 PM
Here is the video of the weigh-in.

Both fighters make the weight and they looked trim.

Oscar said that they are ready to bang if needed and well box if needed as well so I think we can witness world-class boxing a few hours from now, good luck with your bets as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9f6477jNvs&ab_channel=TopRankBoxing

Yes, both make the weight, Valdez looks very serious though and tense in the weigh-in, while Shakur is all smiles and very confident about the fight.

This is going to be a good fight, and it's really hard to predict what will be the outcome. I haven't put my bet yet to be honest.
4702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: April 30, 2022, 06:31:12 PM
If you would based your bet off with the previous matches of this teams, then Bucks has the upper hand as they won 6 games out of their 10 matches. But if you would based off from the current situation, Celtics is indeed having the momentum here as Bucks is down with one of their great players. Even other bettors agrees that Celtics' performance is great and promising now as Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are their current carries. I see a Celtics win here in this series.

It’s also important to consider on what team each player beat prior to this upcoming matchup, Celtics sweep Nets which is the crowd favorite while Bucks 4-1 Bulls which is far more weaker than Nets, Nets just have a low standing because there star player just recently came back late for the regular season. Celtics is surely has the upper hand base on the stats but as usual Giannis is incredible during playoffs which might give an upset game for Celtics.

I get what you're saying but this round is different because the Celtics is up against the defending champion who's star player can really be unstoppable if he chooses it to be that way. But yes, let's consider their last opponent which was Nets for the Celtics. Gotta give that credits for the Celtics especially Tatum for stopping the unstoppable duo of the Nets but we can't forget that the Nets is very vulnerable on their defensive which gave them an advantage to pour huge scores.

All I can say was Tatum improves a lot this year. I believe they will be beaten up by Nets if they are still playing like there performance last that full arrogance and has no clutch time experience. The current Boston roster is an improved version of last year. They already gain much experience to close a series without choking. I think they have the best shot to be on finals on East rather than Bucks since Bucks is fully dependent on Giannis. It will need a full hype Giannis to beat Boston to a 7 match series.

Yeah, we have seen how the Celtics really evolved in the last 20 games of the pre-season, and they are one of the hottest team and very consistent as far as winning games. And it carry in their series against the Nets and we've seen how the team shutdown one of the best scorer we have in the league. However, not sure how they are going to stop Giannis but for sure they have a game plan on the big guy. Boston will have the momentum and we will see how the series will go but I think the Celtics will go out and win it in a tough match.

Okay kayo to mga kabayan?



Plano kung sugalan ang Timberwolves na mananalo sa series kasi close game naman ang series na to.
Kung mananalo ang Wolves bukas, isa nalang ang kulang at since nanalo naman ang wolves sa home court ng Grizzlies, kaya posible manalo ulit sila, wag lang mag CHOKE sa huli.

x6.. di ba maganda, kahit konte lang siguro, mga 3k pesos para may pang happy happy.  Grin

Sugalan mo na ang Wolves, hehehe, naka taya na ako sa kanila ML at nakuha ko pa ng 1.96. Sigurado akong bakbakan tong laban na ato at hindi rin naman basta basta papatalo ang Wolves ngayon. Nung last game muntik na silang makasilat, at ngayon susubukan nilang improved pa ang depensa.

Kinuha ko yong may handicap, Wolves +2.5 @1.80 para kung dikitan yong laro katulad noong nakaraan ay hindi tayo kakabahan ng masyado hehe. Parang may kulang yong opensa ng Memphis kasi hindi nila matambakan yong Wolves (except on that one game) ngayong series na to at nakasilat pa yong Wolves ng panalo sa homecourt ng Grizzlies kaya tingin ko aabot to ng game 7.

Malas tayo mga kabayan, nag choke na naman ang Wolves, halos lahat ng talo nila sa 4th quarter sila tinalo. Maganda sana ang lamang nila, nasa double digit pa pero biglang humina depensa nila sa 4th quarter. Tapos na talaga ang first round, let's move on to the 2nd round.

Anak ng tokwa talaga, akala ko winner na tayo, pag pasok ng 4th quarter may iba na nang ihip pero may pag-asa pa nung last 3 minutes. Pero nung nakita ko na lumamang na ang Grizzlies, wala na d ko na pinanood at alam ko na mag choke ang team na to kasi walang experience at walang loob, parang kabado, samantalang buong buo ang loob ni Ja Morant na i lead ang team nya.
4704  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breaks Past The $40,000 Barrier Again? on: April 29, 2022, 11:22:21 PM
The last few weeks have seen bitcoin fall after trying to break resistance around 43k. But so far nothing bad has happened. We are still at the support level. Even if the price goes down to 37k, I don't think it will be for long. I think this is a very good time to buy. If they give an opportunity to buy even cheaper it will be even better.

We are about to enter a new month, and with that we have high hopes that we can go and at least make a run to $43k. That will be the plan for now, and we don't what the price to go lower than $40k because chances are, we might see another set of selling off from those who panic seeing this price level. So hopefully everything will be good this May, so still a good time to buy and invest again below $40k, still cheap and if ever the price goes up, it will be an instant profit.
4705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 29, 2022, 10:39:53 PM
^^ Those games are really interesting and it's going hard to predict.

I love the Suns vs Dallas, will be interesting how the Suns is going to stop Luka with Bridges and Jae Crowder having that task.

And then CP3 against Brunson, of course CP3 will have the advantage but I think Brunson will excel in this series.

The good thing with the Mavericks now is that they have proven that they are not just a one-man team, when Luka was out, everyone was stepping up and they beat the Jazz on some games. Though I believe that the Suns have the edge here, but I won't discount the capability of the Mavericks of beating the Suns as they are a good team for sure.

I do agree, it will not be a easy series for the Suns, although I believed that they will win against Dallas. It will still be CP3 team and he will carry Phoenix again just like what he did against the Pelicans. Might go to 6 or 7 game series but eventually I will favor the Suns. The Mavs is good with Luka but I think they still have some missing piece in order to be a great team.
4706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 29, 2022, 10:06:36 PM
I'm going with the ML bet for Dallas, I don't think that the Jazz can stop Luka and it seems that they are very tired in this series. You can see that in the 4th quarter, they seems to be very tired chasing the small lineup of Mavericks.
Same, the odds on the Mavericks' are just too good @1.89 given they were close to sweeping the Jazz at their home and i've mentioned it before that they just have to hold off the Jazz in the first half like what happened last game since the Jazz likes to capitalize on early leads. If they win here they'd probably get some nice resting time while waiting for the winner of the Suns' series.



Congrats to you mate as well, Lol, Jazz wasted the series and they could have force OT but chooses to go for a win.

Memphis vs Minnesota, I like the Twolves chance to win game 6 and force a decider  Grin. The odds swell to 2.x now, it's really that attractive so I will go with them in this match.

4708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: April 29, 2022, 09:04:56 PM
I think it boils down on animal cruelty, if a country is against it, then ban all form of animal gambling, i.e. horse racing, cock fight etc.

But this is a licensed sports, as far as I know, even in the Olympics, we have equestrian events (I know it's not horse racing, but the point is that it involves the animal as well and it is considered as universal sports). So I guess this is a case to case basis, really up to the government whether to ban it or not. Even in the US though, horse racing is allowed and permitted, they even have high stake horse racing, the Triple Crown.

They have total control of the tokens since obviously they developed it. And if you look at the name, it simply smells like a scam to me. Metamusk? what the hell is that project?

In any case, and hopefully others will not fall for this kind of name baiting, because there could be some newbies that might fall for this trap in thinking that the name itself might be related to the original successful project "Metamask".
4710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 28, 2022, 11:32:27 PM
....

I'm not sure about the Sixers as well, I mean they have a good lead at 3-0 and then when Barnes comes back to play (ROTY), the complexion of the game did change and now the score is 3-2. If Sixers are going to lose this one, they are in danger of being the first time to lose a 3-0.
That's one thing that no coach or team would want but  that would be a great record hehe. Doc Rivers had been blowing 3-1 leads before so this series will be a crowning glory if they end up losing.

I wonder how's the Sixers locker room going to look like if Raptors force a game 7.

It's going to be quiet that's for sure, Lol. And yes, Doc Rivers has a history before with the Clippers that's why they parted ways.

And it seems that history repeating itself again, if they lost this game, they will be the underdog in game 7 and maybe we will see Joel again crying even harder than the last time we saw him when Kawhi hits that three in the corner 2 years ago.

The match between the Sixers and Toronto are very interesting. This will be another close game in my opinion, Raptors now +1.5, (the game has just started).
4712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 26, 2022, 08:54:04 AM

Look at Donaire too, didn't bother to move up weight but instead, he specialized on his main forte as no need to force him to move up a weight. Discipline is the key and not being arrogant and that's what Casimero is lacking.

P.S As I said previously, I won't talk about Casimero here in this thread as he's out of the pictire here unless involving him with Inoue and Casimero.

Well, it's inevitable not to talk about Casimero in this thread since Inoue, Donaire, and him are like linked together in this current timeline. However, I'm starting to get disappointed with Casimero. He seems to lack of self discipline. He should step back a little bit in his engagement with the social media If he wants to become a better version of himself.
Inoue and Donaire are two classy fighter and doesn't need to hype or vlog everything they do unlike Casimero.

Donaire though move up in weight, challenges the champion that time was Nicolas Walters, a tall guy but Donaire was out of this league as he was knock out in round 6. It was so bad that Donaire has to fight in the Philippines after his lost to Walters and fought at 122 lbs and then goes down to 118 lbs.

That's true, so much respect for Donaire and Inoue, but at the end of the day, this two are going to try and get each others head.
4713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk bought Twitter on: April 26, 2022, 07:54:01 AM
I'm very happy, because that means cryptocurrency will get special attention because Elon Musk is a rich person who invests in cryptocurrency, now he's buying twitter of course there must be a connection with cryptocurrencies, I think maybe with this Elon Musk will be easier to get influence from big people to enter cryptocurrency. In addition, this morning bitcoin and several other altcoins rose up to 10% more, after Elon Musk officially bought twitter.
Before he bought Twitter, many large institutions had invested in crypto, so the steps he took in my opinion were only as an expansion of his business to make his wealth grow.
BTC up is only temporary as always in crypto world any news will be used by speculators for momentary gain.

And just like other billionaire, they want to expand their business, there sphere of influence, so I'm not surprised by this move. Maybe Elon has been targeting twitter for years and so he finally made his move.

The question is, will this be good for freedom of speech as we all know we are in the social media now. Everyone is into it, and I would say it wield great influence so hopefully Elon will continue to propagate this freedom even more.
4714  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin bounce back to 60k in this year? on: April 26, 2022, 05:05:16 AM
Indeed, after experiencing a price increase to the level of $47k a few weeks ago, bitcoin slightly decreased in price to the level of $ 38k. But in the last few days, the price of bitcoin has risen again where bitcoin is currently trading at a price range of $40k-$41k. Therefore I am optimistic that the current price increase has the potential to reach the target price of $60k.
The decline won't be as bad as it used to be, I think the correction is now less but bitcoin can go back up, but if you look at this short-term momentum, buy during a correction and sell when it goes up a bit I think it's quite good compared to having to wait for $60k it's still too far off for us.
But I think the price can still hold and the resistance is $37k-38k we have to see that support if we want to move in the short term.
The price of bitcoin is moving within specific range. It can go above $60k with ease. For sure the price will undergo market correction. This corrective price movement is quite common, but the market is in good condition. The market have got good support. Until yesterday there is no big news, and today new information have come. If the price of bitcoin closes down to $38600 the midrange support will be $35400. Right now the market is very slow in either side,( Growth )

The growth might be difficult though this year as we might be in for a long bear market cycle. So I'm not sure if $60k can be achievable in this market conditions. We barely have volumes reaching $40k and it seems this will be our support for now.

The second quarter is going to be crucial, and might not look good, at least this is how I see it. But again, we have learned our lessons from the last bear market, this is the perfect time to accumulate and save BTC. And then have the mental toughness to wait for the next bull cycle.
4715  Economy / Economics / Re: How Sweden Sends Just 1% of Its Trash to Landfills on: April 26, 2022, 04:15:00 AM
Sweden is a leader in waste recycling. But recycling does not lead to the complete destruction of waste. But the most beneficial option for the environment is the reuse of waste. This is non-recyclable and uses less energy. Some types of plastic are not recyclable and poison the environment. Sweden is a leader in this field, but we all need to reduce waste. Hundreds of tons of garbage are in the ocean and kill many animals. We need to stop this and develop eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging.

Isn't it advance countries have developed eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging since the 80's. The problem is that majority of the nation around the world is poor and underdeveloped and they didn't used this at all. That's why in the last 30 years or so, garbage disposable become a huge problem for everyone. But thanks to country like Sweden. But I guess it will take years before this could be the norm and maybe it's going to be too late for humanity.
4716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 26, 2022, 02:58:39 AM
We've talk about how great Canelo is, and we are saying that he is still peaking and reaching his prime. And you guys are correct because he himself said that:

Quote
“It’s boxing, but nobody can beat me right now,” Alvarez said on the Boxing with Chris Mannix podcast. “I feel in my prime.

"And no disrespect to other fighters. There’s some great fighters. But I feel in my prime. I feel strong. I feel in my best.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-nobody-beat-me-right-now-im-my-prime--165766

And with this kind of confidence, yeah, I don't think that anybody can beat Canelo from 160-175 lbs at this point. He is too good for other boxers even for GGG, although we can give credit to GGG for giving Canelo his toughest fight in his career.
4717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 25, 2022, 08:25:15 PM
The Suns are now in a bit of trouble because Pelicans are slowly picking up the pace and already have a momentum, especially now that Booker might be out for this entire series after It was reported that he might be out for 2-3 weeks for a hamstring injury.
My prediction would be, whoever wins game 5 will definitely win the series, even If this match will settle in the game 7.
Pelicans now have a higher chance.
Suns are a great team since last year, but can they get the championship this year?
Homecourt advantage, Suns have the upper hand. But it all comes down to the perfection of every play that the Suns will make. That's true, Booker is out and will not be seen on this first round again, worse even the 2nd round if they advance in this series. But we know how CP3 does miraculous things whenever he controls the pace of the game. Ayton and almost the Suns roster will be dragged by that contagious energy and will win most of their games.
They've been through this without Paul or sometimes without Booker. I know they still can. They won't be the number 1 in the league if not.

Honestly this series looks like a 50/50 shot now for either team.  Not because it's tied up and stating the obvious but the pels didn't luck into a win or 2 they won those themselves.  Game 5 is going to be an all out fight to the end and I wouldn't miss this game for the world.  Suns need to figure out how to fill the hole Booker made once he got hurt.  Not saying 1 for 1 but they need to figure out a different way to win.  Not betting on this series too up in the air at this point.

Right, the momentum has now shifted to the Pelicans side. CP3 has his worse game in the series. The next game will be tough, as I believed who ever wins this game might win the series itself. So it's really hard to predict the game as there are a lot of variables. But eventually the Suns with their experience will win the series for me, it could be in 6 or 7 games.
4718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Basketball] Golden State Warriors 2022 NBA CHAMPION campaign discussion on: April 25, 2022, 07:51:39 PM
Good for you taking that outright bet on Warriors being the champion this year.

Just look at it: Curry, Thompson, Poole, Green and Wiggins = That is solid enough and I don't think that any team can match with that kind of line up.

And then they have role players and veterans that really knows the strategy and regardless of who you put in the floor, those combination will still perform at high levels, screens, back cuts, hitting 3's. They are a complete team right now and as long as they are healthy, chances are very high for them.
We'll just hope that there's no more serious injuries this time as it could always trigger the team not to beat the other competitive teams. But so far, all is perfectly fit and healthy as they continue to show their best moves and continue to improve their defense strategy that i know could be well done in the next games in this playoffs. With the huge efforts made by each of the player in the team, Warriors will always gain an edge over the rest of the teams.

But they've lost though to the Nuggets and didn't complete a sweep. It's understandable though, teams are very though specially if they play at home and doesn't want to be beaten 4-0 in a series. So still a good chance for the Warriors this season, obviously it will be tough on their next series, whoever they are going to face. But with a combination of veterans, young and upcoming and players who understand their roles, it will be hard to stop the Warriors and will have an edge this season.

I don't think that as an institution, banking system will be simply ignored by us. For sure we all love crypto no doubt about it and maybe some of us are not using any banks at all. But personally, I can't, I have to pay my house mortgages with check so obviously, I need banks to process it for me. And with that, it will be very difficult if not impossible to bypass every huge transaction without banks and fiat.

I guess you can't stop someone from sending you unwanted tokens and maybe I can speak for others as well that we have received some shit tokens to our wallet without our knowledge. And if this is a scam token, usually it will be flag so that no one will fall for the trick. But in cases that they are not, then all you can do is to simply ignore. You have the responsibility to know where all your tokens are coming from. If it is from someone you don't know then you don't need to act on it.
