In round 3 I thought Ancajas was very slow and his timing was off, Takuma Inoue may not have his brother's power but he has his brother's speed, Ancajas missed a lot of big shots Takuma is beating him and he caught Ancajas with a lot of counter punches, it was not a boring fight and anyone can go down anytime when they exchanged blows until Ancajas was hit by a kidney punch.

Two great Filipino fighters just lost because of the body punches tonight this is indeed a bad night of boxing for the Filipino boxing fans, Takuma landed a perfectly timed kidney punch and we all know once you are hit with a kidney punch it takes the oxygen out of the body, and every effort to stand is futile.

Now we only have Casimero to carry the Philippine flag in boxing, ever since Pacquiao retires in boxing there's no new prospect, it seems the great era in Philippine boxing has ended because of these two losses, another Filipino fighter remaining now is Mark Magsayo, who just scored a knock out against Avelar in his featherweight debut.
I just hope there is still good fights remaining for Ancajas this is a bad year for Filipino boxers.

This is two heartbreaks in a row when you loan money and plan to use it in gambling to expand your business and you happen to lose it and because of the loss you suffer from a deep depression that results in hospitalization, all of these happens because of your greediness, your greediness thinking that you can expand your business if you can double your money and you can pay the loan if you can win.

People should be satisfied with what they have and they have to contend with what they have and work their way up and not rely on gambling for a quick profit, the money that should be for business is for expansion if your friend just proceeds in using the money for their expansion they could have triple the amount and pay off the loan and further expand their business.

Now he is on a loan, and he cannot expand his business for lack of funds, the hard lesson here is never never take a loan to gamble, you are pressured to win and because you are pressured to win you can make careless decisions that will result in losing all your money.

This a sorry loss for Jonas Sultan he just lost to an unknown guy with a record of 3-1 before the fight, this is Jonas Sultan first knockout loss of his career and it hurts considering he is on a good run he just out from a unanimous decision win against Frank Gonzales in Liverpool England and for the record, Jonas is one of the few fighters who has beaten John Riel Casimero, Jonas is a veteran of many championship fights and its very unfortunate that he lose to a guy who has only 4 fights, who can be considered new in professional boxing..

Sultan was seen shaking his head while heading to the dressing room I wonder what would be his future now because of this loss.

This was the shot that hurt Jonas It was a straight left kidney shot at the same spot Gervonta landed on Garcia

Jonas Sultan loss by a body shot

I need not create a poll here obviously Gervonta Tank Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) will be a heavy favorite against Frank Martin  (18-0, 12 KOs) this is for the WBA lightweight title.

Frank Martin was supposed to fight Shakur Stevenson but he turned down that fight and now he is in a bigger fight against Gervonta

Although Frank Martin is a heavy underdog in this fight he has a good resume, he beat tough opponents so he has a chance to upset Gervonta if Gervonta shows carelessness and underestimate Frank Martin

Davis is a former titleholder at 130 pounds who also owns wins over Mario Barrios (at 140 pounds), Leo Santa Cruz (2020 KO of the Year) and Rolly Romero. Davis also scored a ninth-round TKO victory over Hector Luis Garcia last January.

Gamblers are aware that you need to invest to secure your future, and they also need to unwind or have a diversion many investors prefer to enjoy their time in casinos many big businessmen in our country are patrons of physical casinos, some of these businessmen talk about their business or do a deal inside a casino while they are taking rests.

We should not judge people who gamble because we don't know them personally, it's their money, and it's their choice what to make out of it as long as they are responsible gamblers, some gamblers are successful investors, not all who gamble are irresponsible people who do not know how to invest or run a business, one of the owners of one of the biggest mall in our country, frequent casinos so how can you say to him straight that he should not gamble and instead put it investment when he is already running successful companies.

I'm talking about religious activity..

The Christians have the Holy Week and it lasts for a whole week.


The other religions I did not mention have activities or festivities that their followers and believers must observe.

Did you slow down or are you taking a vacation? how long is your vacation before and after the religious activity?

In my case, I usually slow down and stop all my gambling activity, two weeks before the religious activity so I can fully reflect on my religion, and after the religious activity, I usually take a week before I get back to my normal gambling activity.

You participation in this discussion is appreciated.



 

You just have to check the Gambling section of this forum to see the new casinos creating their announcement not to mention all the new casinos that prefer to promote on advertising networks and casino review sites.
The casino industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, two decades ago online casinos did not exist but now they are the top online businesses that generate multi-billion profits it's a steady climb of these online businesses, every businessman's dream is to create an online casino and to have a slice in the market I think the conception of Cryptocurrency have helped the popularity of online casinos.

Gamblers will continue to gamble and there are new gamblers daily looking for a casino to play, they don't care if they can make money from gambling all they want is to play regardless if they win or not, so between gamblers and casinos it is obvious who's winning between the two.


Online Gambling Industry Doubled in Four Years and Hit 176M Users and $95B in Revenue in 2023

The guy is a popular gambling video streamer with 8 million followers.



And if you look at all the content and post on his page AkoSiDogie You will see the majority of his content is all about streaming of local gambling sites.


For every video he created and posted on his page, he had a link to one local gambling platform I like to believe that like all the other gambling streamers he is being paid to promote the platform where he is playing he has 8 million followers and he has a good interaction with his viewers making him a very good promoter of local gambling hub.
I'm sure there is a deal between the gambling platform and this streamer most likely a sponsorship deal I checked some of his reels and found out that once he loses on one of his videos the next video shows that he can regain his winnings.
These streamers are not making huge losses because there are no reports of streamers losing turning into a beggars because of his losses and they always manage to regain their losses.

Some streamers are faking their streams with fake money, and fake streamers check out this article

HIGH STAKES, LOW ETHICS: HOW STREAMERS, CASINOS, AND PROVIDERS MISLEAD PLAYERS

Sa totoo lang kahit isang milyon pa yang hawak mo basta lumalabas ang pera at walang pumapasok mauubos at mauubos yan hindi tayo pwede dumpende sa ipon lang at napatunayan ko ito isang taon ako tumigil ng pumaldo ako sa pag bovounty sa mga altcoins pero dahil palabas ang pera need ko magtayo ng maliit na tindahan para kahit paaano may pumasok na pera kahit maliit ang kita at least may pumapasok.

Hindi tayo pwede magpakakampante sa kitaan sa Cryptocurrency kasi wala namang kasiguruhan dito, dahil unpredictable ang market minsan ok minsan bagsak ang mahirap minsan ang tagal ng bear market kaya ubos ang ipon mo kung wala ka main income.

Ok sana kung yung kita mo ay pinampagawa mo ng apartment o paupahan para may residual income pero kung ipon lan gisa o dalawang taon habol ka na namang kumita sa Crypto.

There's a lot of debate about gambling whether is it for fun or a way to make money, this is the exact definition of gambling.


When we go to a casino, or a lottery, or a horse betting station, or challenge a friend for a bet, we are betting or risking our money for a chance to double it so the act is a motivation for us that we want to make money from gambling.

And on the part of having fun, it is betting your money that you can afford to lose, it's not fun anymore when you put your money intended to pay a bill it's impossible to have fun doing that, your wife is going to despise you if you do that.

We all want to make money from betting it is just human to hope to make money from risking his money, all casinos are created to invite you to take a chance of doubling your money, but they don't want you to use your savings or money to pay bills which is they always remind players to only play what they can afford to lose and they expect their players to take heed of their call to gamble responsibly.

There's a thrill in playing in a casino and you want to go home still remembering that thrill and not the money that you lose intended for food, you will just hate yourself for doing that and you will forget all the fun you have. 

I'm sure it is a prohibited drug and not a prescription drug, prohibited drugs like Marijuana or cocaine will cloud your mind and if you become high you will lose logic and do whatever you want to do, It is a high risk, and they could lose a lot of money without being aware that they are depositing money that they are not aware or suppose to use, they have no control of their action and they might end up broke without even knowing why they are broke.
Taking prohibited drugs while gambling are two deadly combinations and it's your ticket to getting broke


I gamble early in the morning but after taking a hot coffee if you're half asleep and still in dream mode you cannot decide and you have no control over your betting this is like throwing a stone in an open field and hoping you'll hit something and there's also a possibility that you misplaced a bet and you miscalculate your bets like betting only $50 and you end up betting $500.
You should only gamble when you are attentive to your bet because how can you enjoy something that you are not aware of what you're doing?

Joshua wants to be in the best shape of his fighting career because fighters that have floored and beaten him, Usyk and Ruiz their power is nothing compared to Ngannou's, and Joshua has no recovery power when hit by big punches, as shown on his fight against Ruiz where he spit his mouthpiece failed to response to the referee when asked if he wants to continue, he is easily frustrated and disoriented when hit by big punches.

Joshua may be the favorite in this fight but he has excess baggage brought on by three humiliating losses and Ngannou has nothing to lose because this is his second fight and he can always shift to MMA if something does not go according to his plan in boxing but for Joshua, if he losses the fight that could be the end of his career and it's going to be a tough climb, he cannot lose on this very important fight this is possibly his last chance to regain a heavyweight title and a chance to fight Fury for the title Greatest heavyweight champion of all time


JOSHUA CLAIMS NGANNOU IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF HIS LIFE

The poll is very interesting as of now here is the result of the poll

Anthony Joshua by KO   - 4 (14.8%)
Anthony Joshua by decision   - 6 (22.2%)
Francis Ngannou by KO   - 15 (55.6%)
Francis Ngannou by decision   - 2 (7.4%)
Draw   - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 27

The majority of the voters of this poll believe that Ngannou will knock out Joshua and that includes me, I still believe that Ngannou is on the right track in his training, and it seems Joshua's manager Hearns is fully aware that Ngannou is favored to win the match that he releases this statement, this is to make it appear that Joshua is in top shape and Ngannou is in big trouble.

Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou: Eddie Hearn Gives Update on AJ’s Shape, Warns Former MMA Star

I don't think this will scare Ngannou and its a bad tactic it will just motivate Ngannou to be at his best because Joshua has a lot of weaknesses, once he hurts Joshua, he will become timid and just become defensive just like what happened to his match against Ruiz and Usyk.
For the record, Ngannou was never been knocked down or seriously hurt in all his matches and I don't think Joshua is the first that will hurt him.

Sa market na ito na full of uncertainty at mataas na level ng volatility dapat nating tanggapin ang bawat desisyon na gagawin natin pag naisipan nating mag sell o bumili sa maling panahon, sa totoo lang wala talagang mabuting nagagawa ang FOMO at very challenging ito para sa isang investors kung tama ba na niniwala sya sa FOMO, ang ugat ng FOMO ay greed, greed na wag tayo maiwan at greed na kikita ang lahat at hindi ka kasama sa mga kikita.

Ang FOMO ay parang sugal, pwedeng manalo ka dito pero mas lamang ang talo, kaya kung maniniwala ka sa FOMO dapat mag research ka muna kung ang FOMO ba ay may posibilidad na magpanalo sa yo, kasi sa FOMO pagdating sa price ng Bitcoin pag nag nag shift from bull to bear market at matagal ang magiging pag hihintay katulad nung nangyari noong nakaraang halving na may all time high na marami ang bumili pero nabitin sila dahil sa pag shift mula sa bull run to bear market.

Kakaiba ang Cryptocurrency market kaya dapat mapagmatyag ka at up to date ka mas mabuti na kahit talo ka tanggapin mo na lang mag move on ka at maging m,atalino ka sa mga susunod na hakbang mo.

You're lucky that you have one bad day, my rate is 4 out 2 which is 4 days of bad days and 2 days where I have a small luck, but I have no particular day where I have bad luck or good luck, mine is varied sometime I have 3 straight days of bad luck followed by one bad luck, and there was a time I have a long streak of bad luck.

We don't have control of our luck when it comes to playing in a luck based games, the best time that you can do when faced with a streak of bad luck is to stop and take it easy, and I don't believe in superstitious either, I remember when I was so active playing on Mine games I create patterns where I eluded the 4 bombs I  triple my bankroll for four straight days but on the fifth day and onwards the pattern did not work anymore I just keep losing.

I figure it must be the house's edge, you really can't figure out a winning pattern when playing in luck-based games, all efforts are futile to set up a winning pattern, so don't believe people you see on YouTube or some newbies posting here selling their no lose gambling methods, it's fake and they are just going to scam.

All lotteries around the world have ruling in case there is a dispute on the ticket , it is clearly stated that

So whatever agreement they have about the winning it should be on paper and the holder of the tickets gets to decide whom she will share his prize on this case it looks like they do not have a very strong relationship that when an issue like this comes up they have a disagreement the man has a case because the money that was used to purchase the ticket comes from his pocket but she can claim that the money was a loan for her to buy the ticket.

I don't think it will stand in any court where the lender of the money that was used to purchase for the winning ticket has the right to the winning ticket.
if the court will rule in his favor then any employer will ask his employee that won millions in a lottery to share his winning because the money comes from his
pocket, the rule is who bought the ticket whose name is written in the back deserves the prize regardless of where the money comes from.

There was similar scenario that made headline where a man give his friend a set of numbers to bet and it happens that the winning set of number hit the jackpot, and the giver is asking a 50% share, the court denied his claim because, the winner is the one who decided to bought the ticket, his name was behind the back of the ticket, regardless if there 's someone who gave the winning numbers.

If you're a fan of Ryan Garcia it is an insult, but if you're a bettor that's a fact, backed by stats, analysis, and past performance of both fighters, no doubt Ryan is a good boxer but on what level? In boxing, there's a level to this and it was proven in his fight against Gervonta that you don't give a fighter an A level who is making his first legit championship fight against a fighter who has over 10 championship fights, the discrepancies is pretty obvious.

In this match, Haney is the A-level here, in boxing or any contact sports there is a saying " To be a man you gonna beat the man" Haney did it twice against Kambosos where he wrestled the crown, and Lomachencko who is considered to be one of the pounds for pound great so Haney is considered the top favorite here.

For Ryan to claim that he is King Rye like what fans like to call him, he needs to convincingly beat Haney, which I doubt he can because his offense is pretty obvious, he sets up the jab so he can deliver the right hook, something that Haney can easily read.

And another thing, Garcia has never fought a fighter who can shift from a normal stance to an unorthodox one effectively, Haney may not be a knockout artist but he is one boxer who can make a good boxer like Ryan an ordinary boxer.

It depends on the gambler. A chronic gambler easily forgets his losses and rejoices when he wins. He is fixated on winning and forgets the amount of money he lost he never calculates his losses all he cares about is his winnings he knows the amount that he wins but has no idea of his losses. A responsible gambler knows this fact, which is why he keeps it as additional bankroll for his next session.

This is why many consider beginner's luck as a curse because you have become motivated and overwhelmed with your winning that you begin to think  that you have luck in gambling and you can win over and over again, but this is just an illusion, they will hold on to that believe until they accumulate huge losses and regret it, I always caution all my friends who just started to gamble to not be confident when they're experiencing early winnings because its an illusion that will soon catch them.

If it's playing in casinos we seldom see gamblers whose winning percentage is higher than their losses, some brag that their stats are great but they do not include all their losses, but it's different if it is a lottery, it is extremely hard to win a lottery, you have a better chance to get hit by lightning twice than hit a lottery jackpot.
Casinos are profit-driven platforms don't deceive yourself that you could make it your cash cow, it's the opposite gamblers are their cash cow so treat gambling as an entertainment platform so you can cut your losses and free your mind.

You're just stating the fact he does look old it has something to do with his training yes this is one of the evidence that Taylor is trying to cut weight he needs to maintain a weight that is nearest to his ideal weight a week before the weigh-in so he can make the 140 in a gradual manner, so instead of being in his natural weight during the training and just to drastically cut weight one or two weeks before the fight.

Taylor is doing it right, the 147 weight two weeks before the fight is an ideal weight he can easily make the cut and rehydrate in time for the fight, what happened in the press conference was expected because Caterall cannot accept the defeat it was a very controversial win considering that all titles are at stake then, it's a big frustration for Caterall and he shows it in the press conference.

Not only that, there was a slapping incident at the press conference, Caterall just could not control himself from Taylor's taunt it's only 7 days before the fight the thrash talk will continue I just hope this time they will settle once and for all who is the better fighter I hope Taylor can make the weigh-in I like to see his move and his movement in the weigh, you can easily tell if a boxer will struggle in the ring, the weigh-in is an indication.
here is the video of that slap
Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall - EXPLOSIVE First Face-Off

Not all boxers are like that, Pacquiao has no history of bullying his opponent, and not all boxers can be bullied sometimes the one you're bullying will be motivated to destroy you just like in the case of Lennox Lewis and Manny Pacquiao.

HAtton when he Bullied Pacquiao he was knocked out cold in their match, after that knockout, Hatton was never the same fighter that he used to be, the same thing happened to Tyson against Lewis, Tyson showed the worse bullying a person can give to another person, but on the night of the fight, Tyson suffered the worse defeat of his career, and after that, he was never the same boxer again.

One of the characteristics of bullies in boxing they have total confidence that they can beat the guy and once they are badly defeated their confidence in the ring is greatly diminished, and their performance is never the same again.
On YouTube, you can find a lot of videos about boxers whose bullying has gone wrong, there are a lot of risks in a boxer bullying another boxer the bullied fighter is motivated to destroy their opponent and the bullies are pressured to beat the one he bullied and once it backfired he is done.


In Rolly Romero's body language, he is afraid of Isaac Cruz because the guy can hurt him and is merciless in the ring he tries to be funny by comparing Isaac to a chiuwawa but it will not work even if Isaac Cruz cannot speak English he always have an interpreter, this could become another a bullying gone wrong if Isaac destroy Romero, he already has one against Gervonta when he said that Tank is going to get knockdown in round one
But look at what happened check this video I hope Rolly already watched this video so he can shut his mouth against an opponent like Gervonta
