Great performance and a well-deserved win by Crawford Porter's father stopped the fight after Porter suffered two knock downs

That's the instinct of the father to protect his son from further damage. After that second knockdown, Porter doesn't have the legs anymore to continue competitively so that's a good decision by the father to stop the fight.

Damn, lost my bet but that's okay as the fight was very exciting and personally I have Porter leading the scores going into the 10th round.

I did bet on Crawford winning by KO at the last minute:



I just thought that if someone is going to knockout Porter, it could be Crawford. Bud's power is underrated, but I see the fight like the Jeff Horn in which he always tag Horn coming in.

And this is what happen in this fight, yes, Porter has some moments, but Crawford is just waiting for the right time to counter and score a knock down.

~snip~
What do you think about the statement of Kambasos that Lopez was scared of him?
^ That is a part of could it be their marketing plan, throwing such statement to get people interest and can able to support them not even inside the ring. Let us see if where Kambosos it goes, Lopez still have a great experience and I think that is not a reason that Loez will lose at this fight and it seems the fight is near, it should be next week and I hope I can able to see their fight on a live channel or any platform services they have used.
However, do you know a gambling casino that has an alive show one on this event, take note just for free?

Yeah, and he is playing mind games with Teo Lopez. And as the fight gets close, they are in the stage wherein it is a mental game now.

Kambosos though is still a huge underdog in this match so let's see if he really has the tools to beat a good power boxer in Lopez and hope that his chin will hold to, because once Lopez touch that chin, he will feel the power and successful all his plan and strategy will change.
5443  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far will Bitcoin price correct? on: November 20, 2021, 01:56:10 PM
Most likely that was the bottom. If BTC fails to make a new ATH from here then I can see it dipping lower. Many people are holding positions this month because they are expecting that S2F model to come true where Bitcoin will hit $98K and something like $150K next month.

Yeah the expectation that we should be at least in the $89k at the end of the month might not be realised though the way the price is moving.

Also November/dec in the past were always bullish months so many are trading this seasonality. Kind of like Nov 2018 but instead of going up it went down and everybody was caught off guard.

That's the only thing that we are holding for now, if history repeats itself, Nov/Dec should be very bullish for us.

But as far as lowest for this dip, I think we've reached it already at $55k.

This contract address has constantly been creating meme tokens. the owner has been creating new tokens, adds to the exchange and then removing it.
https://bscscan.com/address/0x608756c184a0723077b0c10f97f4d054c9ee1c0f
 you should try as much to avoid the tokens being launched here. although it might look like a bot. it is recommended to avoid the address to avoid getting dumped.

Thanks for the warning, yeah there are a lot of scammers right now, and it's obvious because we are in a bull run and they will do everything to dupe people with their hard earn money.

So it's better to really check first the address, and the people behind this address really knows what he is doing. And I do believed that this is compose of certain individuals, who manipulates it as describe by the OP.

I already put my bet on the Warriors, not sure if I will cash out, accept few losses and then put it on other games.
Do you mean you put your bet on the Warriors in today's game against the Pistons? As reported, 4 players are out, so maybe this time they won't be able to come back again as the Pistons are very desperate to win and they'll take this opportunity to beat the Warriors without their best player, and the best defensive player in the team.

Honestly even with those people out Pistons are gonna have a tough time beating the Warriors.  I'm not in on the game but if I was I'd still take the Warriors in this o e.  The Pistons are incredibly young and incredibly sloppy.  They are gon a struggle hard this year.

Yeah, it was very close game and it could have been into OT if the Pistons would have make the 3's in the dying seconds. Unfortunately, I didn't cash out early and let my bet goes through.

And obviously, even if the Warriors won the game, it didn't cover the handicap. But it's all good, there's a lot of games that I can recoup that losses, it's just one game.

What was the handicap when you put your bet?

AFAIK, the handicap was -2 Warriors when it was announced that 4 players from the warriors' roster will not play, and that's including Curry.
The Warriors won by 3 points so if you put your bet on the Warriors, you'll still win the spread.

I put my bet a day before the game, so it was -5.5 that time. I think there was no prior announcement yet, if I saw that definitely I will not go that high for a spread. And that -5.5 that time is @1.71 odds (good for a multi-betting).

Nevertheless, it was really close, they could have cover it though if only they could have made a three.

Here's the final weigh-in ladies and gents:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNZkQWRYBmY

Both make it to the scale, as usual Showtime Shawn Porter is all smile and very confident while Crawford is very tense. You can see the height difference as well in the face-off.

Goodluck to all bettors!!!
5447  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What if Covid 19 broke the 4 year market cycle? on: November 19, 2021, 11:51:58 PM
Just spitballing this idea:

Current basis for btc 4 year cycles is based on the fact that we are assuming movements / time frames with repeat themselves or at least rhyme with the past movements, in stages of exponential highs, correction, accumulation, and continuation. And while those happen, there's no rule that it needs to happen with a similar pace.

I know we are assuming that btc cycle lenght is based on Bitcoin technical FA (halvenings) and that real world events would not affecting the cycle lenght. But Covid 19 just halted nearly everything in this planet for a very long time, so why wouldn't it affect all market cycles with it? Bitcoin wouldn't live in the vacuum when it comes to market conditions.

Well it could have some effects not just on crypto but the whole financial markets.

And then we also have bitcoin's narrative changes as well, institution money flowing like no other bull run before, there are government like El Salvador investing and then some known and unknown companies investing on bitcoin as well as hedge.

So the whole cycle might change not just due to Covid-19. There are so many for bitcoin in the table right now that this could be the first time that we might break the known 4 year cycle.
We will have to wait and see but I think we are close to be able to break away from the 4 year cycle as all the signs are in favor of bitcoin, bitcoin is a store of value and during times of an economic crisis that is caused by too much fiat being printed the most valuable thing for people is a form of money that does not lose value over time.

Gold has been performing this function but there are signs which are indicating that people are preferring to get bitcoin over gold, and this includes investors, so if bitcoin can take a great deal of the people which are interested in protecting their capital then the growth we have been experimenting will continue for a very long time, as the issues we are facing with the high level of inflation will not go away any time soon.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say, maybe we break away from the 4 year cycle this year because of the complete U-turn as I have explain earlier. One thing that can still be in our favour is adoption, as we gets closer and more individuals turn to bitcoin instead of gold, we might see a growth that will make the market somewhat 'stable', thus we will have new cycles on the horizon. This might take years though, but at least this cycle could be a good gauge in the coming future.
5448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 19, 2021, 10:40:20 PM
What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?
This is one of the best season of Curry and his performance is superb, not only that, the impact to the team is always good as the Warriors are currently sitting at the top now, so no doubt that Curry could win another MVP award as long as he keeps himself healthy this season.
It's now Curry - 1st, Durant - 2nd, Giannis - 3rd, Jokic - 4th, Doncic - 5th.
A big change from what was expected before the season starts where Luka Doncic was on the top. But I am still waiting for the Luka Magic. He is still there and may need to just step up his game a little bit when he comes back from his ankle injury. Average of triple-double with his points at 20-30 per game. Although, if he really wants to win the Season MVP race, he will need more than that. Because Curry is trying to lengthen the gap between them with his monster games.

Right, it the beginning, or prior to the season, it was Luka who are the favourite to win the MVP awards.

But Curry having another 2 good straight seasons, last year he won the scoring honours, and now it seems that he is again on the way. He already did break Ray Allen's record this early and maybe putting numbers that will be hard to touch in the coming years.

If Steph and the Warriors will maintain this kind of level of playing, then maybe we can see Steph running with MVP this year (although still too early to say). But with the way he is playing, that's already MVP caliber numbers.
5449  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu on: November 19, 2021, 10:11:36 PM
It looks like they are friendly in the convention, image for comparison:



So Ilunga is obviously the natural bigger guy, but Canelo is fight this guy in my opinion.

He will be going around 180 lbs, maybe we can see a fat Canelo, or a more muscular here, but I still him having a good chance to bet Ilunga at this division. Reminds of Pacquiao vs Clottey.

I think Ilunga will just turtle up in this fight and get his biggest pay check. It seems that this is being set up by WBC itself.

Tonight we have a few games and I think that Cleveland can mess up Warriors

I really don't think so, I'll be gong with the Warriors here, the spread is at -9.5 and I'll be taking it, Warriors are the big deal right now, and I don't see an undermanned Cavaliers causing much of a trouble.

I also have an eye for the Clippers ML vs Memphis Grizzlies.

True, I don't think that the Cavs can pull a surprised against the Warriors, unless Steph Curry is not playing. But I don't like the -9.5 though, maybe it's a trap, I don't know. Cleveland is also pretty bang up, but they might want to get this game as close as they can.

I like the Toronto vs Jazz, I think the Jazz might pull this one off against the Raptors.
Although the Cavaliers played a back to back game they are at home now, this team are good at home and their defense is good, so yes, that -9.5 could be a trap, maybe we will see an upset here, who knows.

Curry is questionable to play due to a hip injury (new injury).
https://cavaliersnation.com/2021/11/17/warriors-stephen-curry-questionable-to-play-versus-cavs/

They can rest him of course since the warriors without Curry can handle the Cavs, but the spread is too high to cover.

About the Jazz, I doubt they'll cover that -10.5, Raptors is a good team, so again, we might see an upset as it happen to the Jazz against the Heat and Pacers.

It was reported that Curry will be questionable in that game against the Cavs, but hours before the game Steve Kerr confirmed that he is going to play.

It was almost an upset though, but the -9.5 was covered, thanks to their tenacious defense in the fourth, allowing only 8 points.

Jazz also covered that 10.5 spread for me, yes we both agreed that Raptors are a good team, but the Jazz needed this victory, so keep their winning streak to 2.

I already put my bet on the Warriors, not sure if I will cash out, accept few losses and then put it on other games.

Yep, you nail it mate, this is obvious another money grab project. And as much as the OP trying to spin everything, we all know what the people behind are doing.

They are riding with all this meme coin hype, create their own very quick, go to this community and then try to promote it as the next big thing. But experienced members can smell it a far, so hopefully those noobs who read this one will not fall for this trick.

Isn't it Nepomniachtchi hold the numbers against Nepomniachtchi? So I think it's good to bet on the underdog here. Perhaps I just biased but wanted to see Wesley So agains Carlsen in this years World Championship.

Anyhow, this is a long match. Take note though that as Nepomniachtchi is a Russian, but he won't carry the flag due to WADA sanction on Russia. So instead he will be carrying a neutral FIDE flag.

Man, I am still pissed off about that Bulls game last night.  I was so excited watching during that first half.  Both Lavine and DeRozan were absolutely killing it.  I mean silky smooth shots, great passing etc.  The defense was on point, I don't think Lillard got any points until a goal tending call was made with something like 5mns left in the 2nd quarter.  Then of course the meltdown in the second half and blowing I think was at least an 18pt lead at one point and I believe a 15pt lead at half.  I know the team is new, and it takes time to gel, but man this was a frustrating loss!  Angry

Well Dame started to get his outside shooting going, I know man, I have the Bulls at ML and I also thought that they are on the way on winning that game until that last 7 minutes of the game.

And that's all the matter for Dame, once he got started, it's hard to stop them. Give credit to Lavine and DeRozan again, they carry the Bulls but it's not enough to win against Portland in their homecourt.

I also don't think there is manipulation behind, maybe FUD still lingers causing some investors to sell or shift to altcoins market or any other financial instruments.

As for the bear market, eventually it will come, whether we like or not. But I don't think it's that time yet. The market is still very strong in my opinion, we might see some correction, it's normal. Historically Nov-
Dec has been a good month for us, still very bullish to me. What's we've seen is just another correction and then we will have a break out run to the upside.
5456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata December 29 on: November 17, 2021, 08:30:35 PM
This is going to be an easy GGG battle for me. I haven't watched a fight of this Murata but looking at their statistics it seems obvious to me Golovkin has all the advantages. Not to mention that Ryota has been inactive prior to this fight for two full years. That will definitely matter. Of course, Golovkin, too, has been inactive but only for one year. It always bothers me why Golovkin was not given a fight for a year when age is not on his side anymore. Anyway, I'm a GGG fan and I still consider this man undefeated.

Good point, actually both of them are inactive, but Murata for 2 years.

So definitely there will be ring rust for him, although the fight is going to be held in his country, still being out for more than a year in boxing will really affect you in the beginning. And when you try to find your groove, it might be too late as we all know that GGG will always makes it a hard fight for anyone.

But Murata is no push over, he might be inactive for 2 years, but he is a champion. And like in NBA wherein you play in your home court and you have all the confidence because you know the crowd is behind you, this might be the case for Murata here.

He could be behind the judges scorecard, but for sure he will give everything in this fight because he wanted to please the local crowd and he is viewed as a hero in boxing.
5457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: correction or start of a bear market? on: November 17, 2021, 07:56:04 PM
judging from what he said, I conclude that right now the market is at a very important time. but even so I didn't fully believe what he said. I stick to my decision that currently hold is the best despite the red market today.

Market is always been critical specially after coming from all time high->dip.

And that's what we are experiencing, the global crypto market cap is still down, meaning, investors are moving up, selling their coins and not investing.

What's important though, is that we didn't suffered a massive flash crash, price of some altcoins are way above, Ethereum for instance is still >$4k, BNB >$500, SOL >$200. So we are still somewhat in the middle, market is undecided. Hopefully, next week we will have a break out run to the upside.
5458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 17, 2021, 07:33:42 PM
I think the Nets have a serious depth issue.  Once you get past Harden and Durant the drop-off is significant.  They need kyrie back on this team if they want to compete for a title, and hope these guys can all run long minutes the whole season.  Definately a little exposed when playing great teams.  They will be able to feast with Harden and Durant alone against the lesser teams but you need depth to compete.

Well that has been the case since last year, but Durant was able to carry the team in his shoulder.

But this time, it was not meant to be as GSW is ready for him and they throw a slew of defender that he wasn't able to have a good shooting night. So give credit to GSW for winning this one and checking Durant and Harden to some extent.

Forget about Kyrie, we don't know if he is going back and play, he has some personal issues to settle though and it seems that the Nets have settled down already.
5459  Economy / Speculation / Re: JP Morgan: bitcoin could hit $146,000 on: November 16, 2021, 03:58:56 AM
This is probably just a big hype, didn't they predicted the price much lower than that the last time? I think they're just going to increase the number in each pump because they want to create hype behind bitcoin that will probably be temporary. Don't get me wrong, I do hope too that the market will go to that point but since they're one upping everytime the prices go up, I don't see how I can trust them.

Again, as I have said previously, they have their reasons to hype the price of bitcoin. They have big clients now who are really interested so it's like they are putting a sale pitch in public for their current and future client.

And just like you and me, we can make conservative and marvelous predictions. But in the end, it doesn't mean a thing, it is still the market that will decide where the price will go in the end.

Low scoring game between the Cavs and the Celtics, halftime now 39-37.

Both teams shoots horrendously, so for those who have bet on the under, good chance for you to win in this game unless they come up strong in the second quarter.

I have Celtics though here in a handicap, so let's see how the game will end.

The Boston Celtics have won already, I think they have covered your handicap.

Another good game that just concluded is the Knicks vs Pacers. Knicks was down in the 3rd quarter, but they did things around in the fourth. I was able to bet on them at -1.5 when the score is 74-74 in the 4th.

Vintage DRose and also Quickley hitting those 3's when needed.
