5481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 08, 2021, 02:59:07 PM

We will know that inside the ring, of all of the recent opponents of Canelo, it seems that Caleb is the most loud about it as far as trash talking is concern. Very vocal in attacking Canelo in public and even in their face off. But it's different when they are inside, either he can really has the power to knock out Canelo (which majority of us doubt), or he will just be an ordinary fighter there because Canelo's talent is too much for him.

He should not change, he should keep attacking Canelo for us to see an entertaining fight. Majority of the fans are on the side of Canelo, but if he can upset Canelo here, he will accelerate into stardom and he will get big fights and money going forward. I believe all boxers do not only aim for honor, they aim for money more, so Caleb should train hard to beat Canelo.

It's one thing to attack a power puncher like Canelo, because once you are caught and your chin is not strong enough, then maybe you will be knockout. so it's better for Caleb to adapt new styles and strategies just to keep Canelo guessing what will be his move.

Yes, gone are the days when boxers fought for the glory and all the marbles to be one of the best. Now is pure business and money grabbing.

Caleb can only train on a certain level, otherwise, his body will be on a overtrain mode, and come fight night, he will not have the stamina and the power. No need to overtrain, just enough to peak during fight night.

Ok, so here is the official documents from WBO themselves:



So $100,000 is the minimum purse bids according to by-laws:

http://www.wboboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Purse-Bid-Rule.pdf

Maybe what they expecting is that other boxing promotional companies are going to try to outbid each other. But do the this fight long been overdue, almost a year in the making, maybe they have given just a couple of days for promoters to make a bid, and so Probellum has won the bid because there's no competition.
5483  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: *Day Traders* are now calling gambling Addiction helplines!! on: October 07, 2021, 11:31:26 PM
Yeah, I was under the impression that gambling and trading has more similarities than difference so I wouldn't be surprised by the data that day traders are calling gambling addiction hotlines to seek help because they can't control themselves specially if they are losing money in today's market movement. And that's why it is really hard to be a day trader, specially if you prefer to short let's say bitcoin because you are going to get REKT.

Ok here is the update,

Casimero-Butler: Probellum Wins WBO Purse Bid, Eyes December 11 In Dubai Or Liverpool

Quote
Probellum won with a submission of $105,000, just above the minimum $100,000 bid requirement set by the WBO. The new company—represented at the purse bid by local promoter Peter Rivera—aims to present the bout as part of a December 11 event to be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates or in Liverpool, England. Casimero is entitled to 75% of the winning bid ($78,750) as the defending champion, while Butler is due the remaining 25% ($26,250) as the mandatory challenger.

https://www.boxingscene.com/casimero-butler-probellum-wins-wbo-purse-bid-eyes-december-11-dubai-liverpool--161059

So a new boxing management/promoter has won the bid, but damn the money and the purse is not the biggest out there. Anyway, Let's hope everything runs smooth here, Casimero will need to travel again to defend his belt against Butler, in his hometown.

Casimero though is familiar with this, going on his opponent's turf and then totally destroying them.

5486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero - December 5 on: October 07, 2021, 03:16:52 PM
I watched Lopez interview about this fight and he is betting Romero will beat Gervonta and he is betting 100 grand for that I don't know if he is that serious and what he sees on Romero and why he is taking Davis for granted, majority will pick Gervonta to win this fight, Romero is just to boastful to think that he can beat Gervonta he will be exposed on this fight.

here is the interview

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

It's very obvious that Davis is a threat to Lopez that's why he is being on Romero to pull some kind of upset. But we all know how tough Tank Davis is, he is already a multi division champion that I don't think Romero has the tools right now to beat a still improving Davis.

What we wanted to see if that these boxers fight amongst themselves and see who is the best at the 135 lbs weight division.

https://twitter.com/CERTNZ/status/1443701946485927944

It was reported Flubot has now a new mode of attack, thru fake updates. As the message says above, you will get a similar message saying that your android devices is infected and thus need to install an update and will tell you to enable installation of of unknown apps (red flag already). They it will redirect you to the installation page. And once you installed it, Flubot will take over your phone, getting access to your banking info and payment and crypto currency apps.

Countries being affected are: Spain and then expanded to hit Germany, Poland, Hungary, UK, Switzerland and Australia and Japan.

So be careful if you received such SMS or text messages, countries that are targeted are mostly in Europe but it doesn't mean that we are safe if we are live somewhere. Reports says that the next target will most likely be US.

5488  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is in a downtrend, will it last long or temporary? on: October 05, 2021, 08:57:41 AM
Evergrande made a lot of fuss but it's not enough to take down Bitcoin at a high percentage.
See how short the bear market is and investors are still coming in. Even alts reacted but it was not that long before their prices came back.

Actually it was a huge dip, from as high as $52k to $42k, but not really enough to be long term. China FUS is over, investors are lining up again to buy bitcoin as at a cheap price, pushing to to almost $50k now. Maybe we can hit it in the next couple of hours or tomorrow at least.

I think it's not all about China anymore. Maybe before a lot of investors are on monitor what their next step will be but now, we can use the market reaction as proof that they are not easily manipulated anymore even with news like that.
Trust in Bitcoin is getting stronger.

Hopefully many investors that China news should not affect us all. We all know Chinese anti bitcoin sentiments starting in 2017, so we shouldn't be surprised by their negative statements about mining and total bitcoin ban moving forward.
5489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to see Bitcoin legal in your country? on: October 05, 2021, 07:47:26 AM
Bitcoin is still legal in many countries and illegal in many countries. Do you want, Bitcoin to be legal in your country? 

As in you can used it to transact inside your country? Why not?

Do you feel the need to legalize Bitcoin in your country?

If it's being legalised then there will be the appropriate incentives for us.
And then the tax.

Are your ideas about Bitcoin positive or negative?
What is your personal opinion about this?
What do you think, if bitcoin is legalized in your country, the country will be improved or will be damaged?
I definitely want Bitcoin to be legal in my country, and I feel the need to make Bitcoin legal in my country.

We have seen people having their financial freedom when they involved themselves into bitcoin. As for the effect on the country itself, still early to say, but we have El Salvador "experiment" right now. So maybe in the next 2-5 years we will see if it did improved or damage their country as a result of legalising bitcoin and then getting into the bitcoin mining business as well.
5490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 04, 2021, 11:31:38 PM
Over 10.5 rounds is presently only 1.44 from 1.48 in Nitrogensports, however, Terence Crawford’s last 6 fights ended in technical knockout or knockout. Under 10.5 is 2.63. From Porter’s forward attack tactics, can anyone say that Crawford might be given many chances to knockout Porter?

The last four fights of Crawford was against a B-level fighter. But this time he step up so we might see the fight going into the distance with Porter aggressive, brute strength, volume punching.

So if Crawford are going to win, I will lean more of an unanimous decision. Porter chin has been tested before, I wouldn't say it's durable, but maybe it can hold up against the power of Crawford. Unless Terrence is going to be accurate with his punches and target the head with high percentage punch.

This boxing match may really go the distance because I wouldn't consider Porter as B-level fighter here. If in case, it will not be a KO, high likely that it will end up UD or who knows split decision may possibly happen? If you are sure that Crawford will win here, I guess, it is also good to bet the over/under bet line here, which has good odds. This bout for me is one of the remaining matches this year which is really interesting to look forward to. Hope they will not cancel or re-sched for any reason.

Split decision in favour of Crawford? Possible, he has that same decision lost on Porter jr, it's that the Porter was knock down and that is the big difference in the score, but it was really close fight. Might be the same scenario in this fight. Porter being the aggressive and Crawford using his boxing to defense against Porter style.

As others have said, the odds have open but it is only the ML for now.

I think this fight is on, it will only be cancelled if they tested positive with the virus, but hopefully they are vaccinated and or going to take every precaution not to be infected as not to derail this big fight.
5491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 04, 2021, 10:59:07 PM
I think he is okay, otherwise, he would not play him. Regular games and practice games are the same, and when he can finish in practice games, he can also play in regular games. Well, I agree that he might get limited minutes and he would retire after the Nets will win a championship, he is only taking the opportunity as this is the best team so far he played with to fulfill his dream of becoming a champion.
Hmm, yeah, that has a nexus.
I hope nothing serious happens to him, I was surprised with his retirement, but I was also happy and anxious to his return to the NBA.
Aldridge even with this health problem is still an important player, because he can make a difference in your team.

He can still contributed no doubt about it, but I think that Nets are not going to used him heavy in the regular season. Yes, he is cleared to play by the doctors, but who knows, all we can do is hope that he will be ok. Maybe he can get few touches every game and going to his favourite spot, a mid range jumper, rebounds. Probably will make the best of this season to chase his first ring with the Nets.
5492  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin going to $53k or down to $48k? (Bullish Scenario) on: October 04, 2021, 03:55:59 PM
Is the chart still applicable or have been invalidated already?

We are already in a new month and for me, we have a new bullish scenario that is forming.

Currently, we have a massive price uptick in the last 24 hours, pushing it to almost $48k again.

So maybe we need to update, and chart it and see where the price is going to head at least for this month.

the month opener seems friendly with Bitcoin day traders, that 10% rise is cool enough to end your day sessions.

Day trader who bought each falls and wait for good timing when bounce happened.

Good point to change it up now and see if how the chart comes out, there's a big chance that with this market movement,

it's more likely change in directions, bullish is waiving I guess.

If the price reaches $53k, then it is invalidated. But so far we haven't reach that price level so this scenario is still very much open. However, as you have said, October seems to be a month that we might find new scenario's and break out run as there is a bullish momentum, gaining 10% and touching $48k-$49k is just short period.

So let's see how it pan out, hopefully we can go to $53k, and then hopefully the OP will plot another chart and give us a new prediction or scenario again.
5493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 04, 2021, 01:37:41 PM
That injury really changes the way Fajardo plays,

Plus the fact that he's also aging with the height he has, we may see some slowness now with him.
Or maybe SMB just want him to play but no pressure to avoid another injury.

Fajardo is their best asset and keeping him for another 2-3 years will keep them on the good spot.

We will see if what adjustment SMB will bring coming this 2nd game, expect more entertaining game between these two teams.

It's clear that the recently healed injury that Junemar had really had an effect on him but the good thing is that he is slowing gaining his MVP form and before we knew it, he will be named the Finals MVP  Smiley.

Coach Chot has admitted that they don't have an answer to the Junemar problem and that lose by the Beermen in the first game because the guards of the Beermen failed to connect on their 3's when it was needed.

Game 2 would be exciting and I might double my bet on this game as this is a must-win for them to avoid being in the 0-2 hole.

Yes, the second game is a must win for them, they don't want to get into a 0-2 deficit as it is hard to come back.  It was really there defense, they shutdown Junemar and Terrence Romeo, but I'm expecting them to be aggressive on game 2. Yes it's a best of 7, but forcing it to 1-1 will make the fight still close.

So it's time for the Beermen to readjust, we know they are more capable to play good defense as well. They struggle in the first game, Junemar might have slow down, but he can still be dominant in this series.

Sad to say that no matter if these centralized exchanges have improved their security system, these hackers are just one step ahead by knowing how to counter that restriction.

Yes, that's how the game is here in crypto, criminals are always one step ahead of the game. It is us that keeps on adjusting, and then hackers will find another loophole, exploit it, going to be cyclical. The only weapon for us is to really learn and educate our selves how to protect our assets.

I do have a Coinbase account but never used it for years and have zero balance as of this time. It would be stressful for me if I am one of those 6000 being victimized by that hack.

Good for you, but for those who have lost their money, Coinbase says that they are going to compensate them, not sure if it's going to be in portion, or just one drop.
5495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 04, 2021, 11:29:51 AM
^^ I would love to see a toe to toe battle as well in the early rounds. And maybe Caleb can take advantage of Canelo being a slow starting and could earn some points in the judges eye. Billy Joe did this strategy, but he seems to run out of gas and that's why Canelo was able to take over, forcing Billie Joe to quit. So Caleb will need to start hot and able to sustain it and be ready if Canelo's started to get his rhythm going around round 4. And then switch to being a boxer, uses his jab more. It's going to be a chess match if Caleb wanted to pull an upset.
5496  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bearish Bitcoin TA - Be careful everyone ... on: October 03, 2021, 11:53:57 PM
Blah, blah, blah. Technical analysis is about probabilities, not certainties, and it fails constantly. Yesterday or the day before yesterday I saw an analysis saying that as we cross the golden cross, we are going to start going up to $200K or thereabouts. I look at technical analysis for entertainment, but as a long term investor it doesn't affect me. I know that Bitcoin in 5 and 10 years is going to be much higher than it is now, so what it does in the next month doesn't matter to me.

This is a subforum about Speculation where people are interested in short-term price, because they want to do some short term trading.

The fact that a simple short-term bearish opinion gets so heavily criticized here as some sort of apostasy against Bitcoin just means that this forum is not a good place for getting information about Bitcoin's price movements.
I will have to agree, you will see that my critique to the prediction has nothing to do with the prediction being bearish but about the method used to get it, in this case Elliott waves which at least to me seem completely unreliable when it comes to predicting what it will happen, however if someone uses more traditional methods and they come to the conclusions there are bearish conditions I accept it, after all we know that after a bull market a bear market follows, we just do not know when it will actually begin so at some point bearish predictions will come true and we need to be ready for them.

And luckily, we didn't hit the $30k'ish as the OP has pointed out (although this is just a possibility again). So we now have a new trend for October, and it looks like extremely bullish.

And those who short bitcoin got REKT recently as millions worth of dollars have been liquidated in matter of hours. So that's how unpredictable bitcoin is, but looking at long term or at least at the end of the this year, it looks bullish.
5497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 03, 2021, 11:06:11 PM
It's funny how WBO is now forcing their boxers to fight, when did it became a mandatory organization? lol. Even though boxing matches are being cancelled because of boxers personal reason, it is not fair for them to make it mandatory, it's too toxic to handle. I guess since the pandemic started, their organization are losing profits because no fights are being conducted, that's why they are so desperate to make a lot of boxing matches just to get back their profits.

WBO should not be forcing the players for matches. It's not fair in my opinion. Boxing itself is already an extreme sport and pretty lethal as well. Players need the time to recover after each match, sometimes they need more time to recover mentally more than physically. And forcing them to fight won't bring out good outcomes in the longer run. Hope this trend doesn't keep continuing.

There are rules to follow, every sports have it's governing body, otherwise it will be chaotic, just straight up rule specially mandatory fights. If you are referring to Casimero, he has a lot of time to recover from his last fight, he wasn't damage from the Rigo fight, because Rigo keeps on running. I disagree, having Casimero fights Butler is a good test for Casimero, he needs to stay focus and sharp in this fight so that he will get Inoue or Donaire in the future.

Have read it and agree with what it says because it is backed by facts, some dangerous signs are on it, Dogecoin is an example of a coin used by whales to do a pump and dump scheme, majority of investors are in FOMO, there are times FOMO is but if you don't know when to exit you are in trouble of being a bag holder or cutting your losses, it's still the meme coin that we all loved but I don't see Dogecoin lording it over coins with
with real potential in the market and with contributions to the development of the community.

Yeah, just need to be cautious with Doge, but if you have enough experience and the balls to ride and invest, you can get out take profits easily. The problem is that there are noobs who agree with Elon Musk and blindly trust his words. And it really did push the price of Doge, nevertheless we all know that the price won't go on a parabolic rise. And Doge will be Doge (still a meme coin), which ever angle you look at it.

Embiid already talked about it.
Quote
"The situation is disappointing, borderline kind of disrespectful to all the guys that are out here fighting for their lives," Embiid told reporters at training camp in Camden, New Jersey.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32314598/philadelphia-76ers-star-joel-embiid-calls-ben-simmons-situation-borderline-disrespectful-team
About the shooting problem. He's still young, it can be improved. I won't worry about that so much because he has a lot of skills to contribute.

Embiid should be vocal about it because he is the main man of the team, anything he said might affect the team and Simmons, so hopefully, there will be an agreement and both parties have to stay professional. Simmons has to be respectful and the 76ers management has to respect what Simmons wants.

But Simmons felt disrespectful as well that's why he demanded a trade already, and if no trade happens, he is willing to sit up the rest of the season. I think we have seen and heard enough about the Simmons saga, might be better to really wait for the final outcome. Simmons and 76ers relationships have been damage beyond repair.
