4941  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Gamblers! What is your excuse to avoid a game with 0% House Edge? on: December 14, 2020, 01:22:58 PM
Any player understands how the casino functions and knows why the casino should take its commission. Paradoxical as it may seem, favorable conditions are often frightening because the players do not understand how such conditions can be offered. I think that any such advantageous offer should be accompanied by a detailed explanation of why and how such an offer became possible.

Do we really believe into this kind of line?

 Grin I understand that there are many fools in gambling (as in any other activity), but usually fools run out of money very quickly, so I still consider this business from the point of view of deals with smart people. We must focus on smart people. And from the point of view of smart people, such proposals seem suspicious.

Very well said, fools lose money in casinos, I mean a lot of money as they underestimate the risk in gambling, while I'm not saying that the smart people wins, at least they understand the risk so if they'll lose, they will only lose within their limit.

What we need to wait for is, what will be the set up next conference. Will they create their own bubble again or it's now allowed to held games in their usual venue but still without an audience.

A very chance that it may happen if there's no changes coming from the government rules, if the same setup still exist with the government there's  a big chance that bubble may take place to allow the league to continue, it's a big money to lose if they'll going to go ahead playing in different arena without audiences.

Still unknown as PBA managements needs to consider both government rules and the beneficial side
if they'll going to try and start the new conference.

We will see the next conference, government would not stop that, now we are more matured and we know how to fight covid-19, so it's easy to get an approval. The PBA has been following the NBA in terms of set up, so maybe they'll follow the current set up of the PBA, unfortunately, PBA doesn't have a home court but maybe they can travel in other places to play.

Maybe yes, they can play now with the same regular setup more likely how NBA was doing during this preseason, the question now

if fans are willing to take part and take the risk watching each games. Knowing that Covid still exist and vaccines is yet not been proven.

Following the moves of NBA, there are big difference in terms of budgeting and attracting fans to support each games. Money is far important than entertainment as we know how people are trying to survive during this pandemic.

I guess it's not the problem, fans are well protected compared to the players that will be playing without a mask. Some of the cock fighting house are already open now, so I guess the government are not so strict already, they just need to ensure that people are strictly following the safety protocols and it's doable in PBA since this is a big league.

I'll go with the Sacramento Kings at +6.5, just according to my instinct only since underdog are hitting recently and Sacramento Kings is not a bad team.

Congrats, that was an easy win, have you bet on the ML too? if you do, you'll get a good odds on that win.

Two straight wins already, please make some streak and I'll look forward on your pick for the upcoming games.



Wizards put a really good show tonight as they comeback was really awesome to watch even if this is pre-season but they kinda deserved to take the win in my opinion. Anyway, I'm glad that Nets finally having their full squad back and we can watch them reaching play-offs for sure this year.

What I saw is the Nets had a good 2nd unit, Durant and Irving seems did not change, they are still playing well with a high percentage of shooting, and I hope they'll continue to be consistent in winning.

Playoffs? Yes they'll be there, 100%

I guess there are still a lot of crypto casinos that did not came in the forum to make an ANN thread, probably they are already contented with the platform of advertising they are using now or they have no knowledge about bitcointalk. I have played in some of the gambling sites listed by OP but I did not become a regular customer, I choose the gambling sites that are listed in the forum as it's easy to communicate with them with their ANN thread.

Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors.

We will now see how the warriors will play with Curry back in the line up plus the new guys that were signed by the team.
For those who are not updated, Thompson is out for the season so we will not see him play. It's a nice match up, a possible play off match but this is only a preseason so we might only see Curry and the rest of the starters to play like less than 20 minutes. What are your thoughts on this game?
Thanks for that update.

Mostly are thinking of a possible comeback for the Warriors but with this update and expecting that Klay is out for the whole season who is his number 1 tandem.

I think there is not that much to expect from them anymore.

Warriors won in this game, 107-105 was the final score. Curry played 21:08 minutes and made 10 points only from 3/10 shooting. They still didn't change, they are still moving the ball very well with 25 assists in overall against 20 only for the Nuggets which is also a good team who moves the ball well.

We don't count this much since it's just a preseason, but happy to see Warriors are winning.
4949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ]: Boxing - Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev - JOSHUA WINS IN ROUND 9 on: December 13, 2020, 04:49:00 AM
Pulev is just all talk and tries to bully Joshua before the fight, Joshua just made a big statement and he proves that he is back and he is still dangerous, now all talks will be on the Fury Joshua fight, this is the fight that must happen and it should happen in 2021 in times when the pandemic will be totally controlled.
Game over, that upper cut hit Pulev clean, he was able to survive but the next shot was the straight right and he wasn't able to rise again. Congratulations to Anthony Joshua for this big win, he was so focus, so he deserved this win.  Yay!, next fight will be Fury vs Joshua.
4950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches? on: December 12, 2020, 11:17:13 PM
Betting small amounts on a lot of matches is basically still profitable but unfortunately, you have to win a lot of matches and if only a few games win then you still lose. Options like this basically depend on your financial condition as well, because when I can't spend a lot of money on a bet then at least I will start that way. So I think that is part of the adjustment because we don't always gamble the same way.

But it's still less profitable than the single bet. Even though the bettors have the possibility of getting a bigger return, which was when more legs were added to multiple-bets, but the risk will also be even greater.

I think this is one of the reasons that bettors choose multi-bets which is because of the high payout possibilities. And this is exactly what the bookmakers expect, when many punters prefer multi-bets it will multiply the bookies' profit margins.

IMO, you can't compute the profitability based on single bet or multi bet, it's based on the way you select your bet, if you'll win more, then we can say you are profitable, choosing a bet is basically based on the odds outcome, the higher the odds the higher the risk, the lower means lower risk with higher chance of winning.

Devance eager to surpass Reavis for most titles among active players


Quote
JOE Devance just won his 11th PBA championship and yet he can’t wait to get another one.

The 38-year-old big man vowed to win a couple of more titles as he looks forward to Barangay Ginebra’s campaign next season when the team defends its Philippine Cup title.

“I didn’t think I’m going to get as many championships as I have. But it means so much to me, the career that I have, the support that I have, the teammates, coaches, fans, family. It’s just a great experience that I’m super blessed and super thankful.

“I’ll be back for sure next conference.”

They've won already, they have a solid team with Stanley Pringle, so I guess it's possible, however, I'm thinking that it will not be easy for them once SMB will come back with a complete squad as Fajardo is really a big problem for every teams in the PBA.

Still, I'm happy to read this kind of report as old players trying to stay fit to last in the PBA to achieved something, good luck to him.

1 votes for a draw


Joshua vs Pulev is about to start in a few hours time  Grin


Great day for boxing fan like us, the awaited fight will happen in few hours so I'll relax for awhile and watch this fight. I hope this fight would last and it will not be a boring one, the key to make this fight entertaining is for Pulev to keep fighting as aggressive as he is.

Good luck to our bets.

If you really want to compare AD and Lebron with a duo in the past of the Lakers then it could be Kobe and Pau.  Wink
Pau also shoots the ball from the outside and is defensive on the inside.
I remember Pau and Kobe, but Davis IMO is way better than Pau as he is very unpredictable, he can shoot at any side in the floor.
He is a complete play if you'll ask me, just like Lebron James, James just have more achievement than him and proven can carry a team to the NBA finals.

Davis is just better with his versatility.
If he will gain more experience then I am sure he will dominate even the best forwards of the league.
The good part is, he has his own style that plays a big role for the team.
He is still young, and as long as he keeps himself healthy, he will have more achievement in his career.

@bisdak40, I received your message, segwit btc address has been sent.


I was quite busy in the past few days, I even missed this game but I'm happy Ginebra able to finish the series early.
Now that the PBA conference is over, we will look for the new conference and wait what's going to be the set up.

I think it's not a bubble set up anymore.
4958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: December 07, 2020, 09:41:56 AM
Seems like the injury is serious as per the news.

SMART CLARK GIGA CITY — Jayson Castro is now listed as day-to-day after getting hurt in Game Four of the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup Finals Sunday night.


Quote
The 34-year-old exited at the 9:35-mark of the third after grimacing in pain on the floor following a drive. It took him a moment to back on his feet, and needed assistance from teammates on his way to the bench.

He never returned to the match, leaving with just two points, two assists, and two rebounds to his name. Worse still, the Tropang Giga lost, 88-98.

With the information I read, I don't think they will still risk Castro to play, they'll just loss the series anyway.

That seems an updated information, thanks for sharing, maybe you'll start celebrating early now because you are one win away from your series bet. hehe.. I guess Ginebra will not give TNT another chance anymore, they'll finish this series in 5.

Tenorio being so underrated makes Ginebra a team that is hard to beat, in this series, it's Tenorio beats Castro so far, and Tenorio's impact to the team is commendable.

Nah, I respect the TNT, I have a 90% chance of winning the series but I will only celebrate once they are declared as the champion. TNT just had a bad Finals where injury suddenly was their problem, the load management they did on castro seems not working, but who would know when an injury would happen?

As a side note, I layed some money on the knicks +23 wins this year.  I'm a homer cause I usually don't bet on my teams but I'm hoping the knicks can win somewhere in the range of 30+ games.  At a certain point they have to wins some games right?
Sounds interesting, may I ask what site did you put your bet?

I can't find it in crypto sportsbook that I'm  using, or maybe I have not explored the other sites yet.

Every casino has to deal with problems at some point, but what is not good is that they do not give any response.


They won't, but maybe it's already enough for them to just make an announcement in this thread and though it will work. Sorry, but things are different now, members of the forum is wiser now, they also read the feedback of the posters before the use the site, and though the name of the site tells they are anonymous, but in reality it's not unique since most gambling sites offers anonymous  gambling, they just don't make it obvious in the site name.

Quote
How do they think they can still get customers in this way?
Give them time to evaluate the result, the announce is less than a week, so they'll need more time.
