When I knowing of the existence of a match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Junior, I didn't expect much because of this boxing match
won't see KO. Do not wait for the two fighters to pounce in harsh, we know both of them are over 50 years old. So enjoying the boxing match
as it is, I, as a fan of Mike Tyson, of course, seeing him back in the ring was happy. So do not Hoping there is a fight with the tension, just
enjoy it the match according to my advice.



It starts with our expectation, if we understand that this fight is only an exhibition fight, we wouldn't expect a real fight and that makes this fight like a practice fight lol. I'm wondering if they'll be able to sell a good amount of PPV considering it's not a title fight, well, I know a lot of boxing fans admire Tyson as he is very popular, but at this age, I doubt they will spend hundreds of dollars if that's the price of the PPV access.

Spur might miss the playoffs this time, no L.A for the team, so definitely this short handed team has a very less chance of qualifying.

Shorthanded Spurs in danger of losing longest active playoff streak in major sports

Quote
THE San Antonio Spurs will try to extend the longest active playoff streak in North American major sports without LaMarcus Aldridge and with a decent mathematical chance to sneak into the final postseason spot in the Western Conference.

What's your take on this, should be already declare them out of the playoff picture?

Probably.
DeRozan and White cannot lift the offense that large.
They are losing a big option without Aldridge.
Even if Pops is the greatest coach of all time, I don't think it can be done when you are lacking a huge chunk of the pie.
Although, they can always try but it will be full work and effort filing that blank of defense and offense.

Make things really hard for them without Aldridge.
As we all know what contributions he have for the team. In the sense of trying, there's always chance but it's more lesser now. 
Coach Pop can try everything in his  hands rotate whoever that's available to still try competing and defending
the playoff position.

Chances to be in the number 8 spot can also be seen in the betting odds

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-5d0794f07577a32d0da4992d



As you can see, Spurs has a high odds, so that means they have a lesser chance to qualify this season.

Mike Tyson is the heavy favorite in this poll I don;t know the condition of Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson's video are going around the web we have seen he is in good condition, but in terms of generalship Jones Jr has a good advantage because he has an excellent movement in the ring,  I like Tyson to win the exhibition match because I am a long time fan.

We never know their condition as they are not active in boxing anymore, we only bet because we are a fan and obviously not only here that Mike Tyson is the heavy favorite, even outside because Mike Tyson is the favorite in the betting sites or sportsbook.
5325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 24, 2020, 11:49:51 AM
SMC or MVP Group already had a lot of teams in the PBA.

SMC Teams

1- San Miguel Beerman
2- Ginebra San Miguel
3- Magnolia Hotshots

MVP group Teams

1- TNT
2- Meralco

I think that's already enough, if it will be acquired by SMC or  MVP Group, the PBA will become a big monopoly of teams, and it's not good in the eyes of the people as the word "rig" will never be eliminated.

It's just simple for them to say that the two sites are not related just to hide what happened in the past since betking was involved in scam accusations. But we're still not sure if they are saying the truth or not. It's better for them to make some public clarification about the issue because it will just affect their image since they have the same name, and the other one has a negative image. If they don't want to get involved in issues like this (if they are not really connected), they should make it clear to everyone.

In fact they should sue the site and do something to take down and the site that tries to imitate them merely announcing it will not help, they should do something or else they will continue to receive complaints and they will have to address and clarify this over and over again.

Honestly I think this site should be taken down already if they are related with Betking.io.
Obviously Betking.io scammed investors during the ICO, so I guess some of the investors can find a way to sue the site Betking.com if they are related.

This site that we are talking is a licensed site, according to them, so it's easy to go after a licensed gambling site.

There's no betting odds yet in crypto sportsbook, but we might see it available soon.
Question. How can this be included in a sportbetting if both boxers will only play for an exhibition match?
I think that is not a problem, any competition that there is a winner and there is a loser, sportsbook can put a betting line on that, it only depend on the gamblers if they will put a bet.

This one is even ridiculous, but there's still betting on it.

Isn't it that these matches can be subjected for manipulation since they only play just for fun?

Possible, but even professional games, they are even accuse of rigging games.
There's no difference because some believe that sports are corrupt or rig, while some believe they have a good reputation.

In the end, you choose your side and you decide.

I am not sure if this guy is thinking straight, spending that huge money for the business without knowing the legalities of what he is doing.
The intention was good if it's for mass adoption but we know the eyes of the regulators are always looking into us, especially in this case that ATMs were put in public players.

Damn, 30 years of imprisonment if proven guilty, I think that's something he will regret for the rest of his life.

I'll also vote for Mike Tyson. It's the name that I've been hearing since I was a kid. But with Roy Jones, he's also a great boxer with that record though I haven't followed his career. If this is just all about voting, Mike Tyson is my vote.

Voting and betting for Mike Tyson to win the fight, I'm not gonna make further research here, I'll just pick according to my bias mind.
The same as me, I'll go with Mike on this match.
Mike is my chicken in that fight. Both of them are strong fighters, both of them have good records and both of them have knocked out a lot of boxers but Mike Tyson have the upper hand here. I saw his current training regime so basically he is in perfect shape. I'd like to see his upper cut and left hook that knocked a lot of professional boxers. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is really excited to see the fight.

There's no betting odds yet in crypto sportsbook, but we might see it available soon.

Mike Tyson is one of the legend in boxing, so it's not hard to sell the fight since they will only just sell for PPV, i'm just wondering how much is their target in millions, and this fight is not for fund raising anymore, but for their personal only, I wonder what happen to the fight for a cause thing.

I'll go with the popular boxer here, I haven't followed his journey in boxing a lot, so to freshen my mind, I guess this one should be good for me.

Reading above posts again, it seems that betking.com is a separate entity from betking.io. Their existence is longer than betking.io. I sent an email to betking.com to check about their connections. Let's see what will be their reply.

Good. We hope that betking.com can clarify if they are part of betking.io or not because, as we know that betking.io is made a problem for some members. I hope after you get a reply from them, you can also share here so we can know what their answer.

But if betking.com and betking.io have the same management, then they can scam so many people.

So I received a reply from their customer support. I sent email to -cs@betking.com as seen from below contact list
https://www.betking.com/help/general-help/contact-us/





Received also an email that my ticket has been resolved.



So they are 2 different companies. Seems betking.com is legit.

I think you should not ask them if you want to get the right answer.. no scammers will admit publicly that they scam people.

Don't expect this answer, "Hey that's us, we scammed people back then, CHEERS!"

The consensus of the people here is this site is the same with betking.io.
5333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: July 23, 2020, 10:33:25 PM

I heard that the boxing are also back and ppv is the option introduced for viewers/fans but actions/fight seems to be scheduled for September. However, I dont think top ranked fighter will accept part of accepting losses and they will prefer to wait till a vaccine is developed which is the reason why Fury vs Wilder and AJ vs Kubrat Pulev are on hold.


If  USA can get some vaccine from Russia, then we might see some big fights happening this year, and that is with a crowd.

Russia’s Covid-19 vaccine to be available for public by next month: Report

Maybe US should make friends with Russia? Grin
5334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 23, 2020, 10:12:29 PM
I wonder if Mark Caguioa is still playing as well.

Mark Caguioa is still actively playing in the league at 40 years old. Signed 1-year deal this season with the Brgy. Ginebra. But he is more taking a reserve role right now and as a fact, he just averaged 7 minutes per game last season.

Not bad for near retirement and still earning some money despite an average of 2.7PPG last season. Cheesy

As per his Coach Tim Cone, he sees MC47 to play for at least 2 years more before considering retirement. As you know in PBA, around 40 age is still not on a retirement period unlike in NBA where the late 30s is considering to retire.

We have a lot of oldies players in the PBA, in the NBA, I think there's no active player anymore with age 40 and up since Carter has already retired.
It's a different competition, NBA has bigger competition unlike the PBA.

Anyways, yes, we still have Caguioa which is a game changer, he doesn't need to play a lot of minutes but he can provide some spark just like his name, so maybe that's the reason why he is still with his team until now.

5337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BNB Time...... on: July 22, 2020, 11:32:58 PM
Now is the right time to buy BNB, we all know that Binance exchange is very popular and has a very active team. This has influenced
the price of BNB getting better, so investing in BNB is the right decision and must be done immediately. Because BNB has very strong
fundamentals, it is likely that BNB will pump in the near future.

Cause of some problems the price of cryptocurrencies is so down and it is really a chance to buy some altcoins at a low price and wait for price increases, then sell them at a high price. Investing in top altcoins is always profitable, BNB has more potential to be one of the best altcoins in the future like right now. l think also so BNB will pump in the near future.
Coins and projects that already have popularity will certainly get a sure pump and therefore investing in top coins is a safe way because at least it will definitely produce a definite ROI but it does not guarantee good because to get a better profit depends on your own. buy and sell at the right time or not.

But if we invest here, it's just the trust that is necessary, we trust the project so we are confident with its future.
However, you are correct, it doesn't guarantee anything, otherwise investing is risk free which is not really happening in crypto as crypto itself is risky.

IMO, Binance has really proven to be a worthy project, therefore BNB is a great investment and I'm sure there's still more demand in the future as they keep burning the coins which will reduce the supply but as we can see the demand is increasing due to the good development of the project.
5338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoins dominance coming to an end? on: July 22, 2020, 11:02:13 PM
Speculation does not mean to be right, anyone can make realistic and crazy speculation without being judge because we never know what would happen to the market in the future, of course it's possible that bitcoin will be replace on its current spot now, but we have our own prediction.

For a coin to beat the dominance of bitcoin, it's a hard mission, even if bitcoin will drop it's dominant rate at 30%, I think it will still dominate the market as we have a lot of coins that will divide the 70%, unless one altcoins will rise in the competition and will leave other altcoins, which is unlikely to happen IMO.
5339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is there hope for Tezos in 2020? on: July 22, 2020, 10:46:41 PM
The Year 2020 can serve as a means of stabilization and to see which project is resistant to a stagnant market. In my opinion, most projects are showing resistance and with Tezos it is no different must follows the market and its stagnation. Maybe in 2021 we should find some improvement.

If you look at its price history- https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tezos/

This project is still stable despite of some drop, I don't know why we need to ask for a hope since this coin is surviving and still able to maintain its good liquidity. If we like to see it rise, it should be for the altcoins market as a whole, so I really hope all major coins will start to rise this year and we can expect Tezos to rise as well. 
5340  Economy / Economics / Re: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. on: July 21, 2020, 06:30:47 AM
This is really unfortunate event in our life, we lose so much in just a couple of months,

However, we can also see that after this quarantine, even with implementing the health protocol, the numbers of infected people still do increase. It is just a matter of choosing between getting quarantine but with limited foods or getting outside to work but the chances of getting infected not only you but also your family are really high.

If you have good savings or you have an earning business, it's not wise to go outside as you have a choice to stay at home and be safe. However, for most people, majority of them are just relying on their salary, so they need to work to eat, and with that, they have no choice but to take the risk.
