^^ Yes, maybe they are already they are closing in some gaps in techniques and strategies specially for Sultan as he maybe the first man to stop the hard hitting Caraballo. Just enough so that in two weeks he will be in his peak and in the fight night he will be 100%. No need to overtrain, what Sultan needs is the confident to show the world why he shouldn't be underestimate and then make noise about another Filipino on the horizon.

as it sits right now, no crypto bookies has listed this match yet. so only about 2 weeks before this fight. maybe they will list this a week or few days before the fight. the puerta rican should not underestimate the power of this filipino boxer. we all know that a lot of filipinos are good inside the boxing ring. so let us see what sultan can show us when he gets inside the ring.

That's usually the case though, crypto bookies are late in listing mid to lower tier fights like this one. I'm not saying that they don't like listing it because they can still made money out of this fights, but maybe they wanted to get a feel of the fight first. But for sure, as Filipinos, we always support our boxers and even put a good amount on bet on them. So hopefully as the fight gets closer, we might see the odds on some of our favourite crypto bookies.

^^ And you can't really compare the 2012/2013 Lakers to the current roster. So that argument is flaw in the beginning. The Lakers of today might be competitive though, majority of them joined just to have that one ring, so for sure they will do everything.

The only point of contention for the Lakers is the chemistry - but that's understandable, the season hasn't started yet and people are bashing them basing on the preseason games, Lol.

If we are in the middle of the season and the Lakers are like 20-20 then maybe there is a problem within the team. But at this point wherein the regular technically has started, we cannot say that they are doom to fail because of the chemistry issue.

And I do agree, we should not judge them about the preseason games because it is just like for fun, nothing too serious about it. Their performance may change in this upcoming regular season, then, we may see what is the real deal here. But basing the preseason, is not really valid for me. Bookies are busy again with this season. A lot are looking forward to this season because of the pandemic last year.

Good point, we should judge the early, they can make the adjustments later and I don't think that in the whole season, they will play mediocre. There could be some games that will show up as regulars, but most likely, the chemistry question will be answered in just a couple of games, specially when they play outside against any tough teams in both division. Maybe a good win against the reigning champion, or a good ass whopping of Nets staring KD and Harden.

Bots are dominating humans how to control it?
what will be future !

Bots in terms of what? what is has something to do with crypto space though?

But I will answer it for you, there are traders who uses both for obvious reasons (speed and automation), so I'm not against them. However, sometimes this bots can trigger a sell, and in turn triggers a panic. That's why when we see some huge dumps, I'm sure bots have something to do with it. So it has pros/cons, but it is what is it though, so I would say learn to live with bots around in crypto market.
5584  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reverse Bubble 2021 (burst on October) on: October 16, 2021, 10:02:15 PM
Problem is the rate of ascent is a little too aggressive to expect it to rise for 6 months.   Its going to reset within that even if it resolves upwards.     Some of these people borrowed money to buy and they'll cash it back out, if it stays above 50k the whole time that will be bullish.   Some expected 100k this year but staying consistently higher for 6 months would make that become of a possible reality in the next year.

I really don't think it's a quick ascend though, we have seen lower lows for this year, at $28k-$29k, so it was not an easy ride going to new all time high or even $100k as everyone is really hoping.

And then bitcoin narrative also change, there are some companies going public or slipping under the radar and having bitcoin in their balance sheet. So let's see when the bubble will be burst? hitting above $100k? $200k?
5585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Cryptocurrency be a Global Currency in the Future? on: October 16, 2021, 09:37:20 PM
Yes, It can be expected that cryptocurrency will be a Global currency in the future.
 The BTC will be the father coin and there will be a lot of sub coins.

It's more of a prime mover, BTC really open doors for crypto to be an alternative to fiat.

Cryptocurrency is a unique kind of currency that has great potential.
It has an attraction for all ages of life. It has a great opportunity for those who want to do something and desire to step forward.
Moreover, It has equal chances for poor or rich for development .
This currency has brought a revolutionary change in the world of business and trade.
It promotes a positive activity also.

It will only become an alternative as I have said, but you really have to know how to take advantage of it, otherwise if won't work. What I mean is that you need to understand it, specially on how or where to store your crypto. Otherwise, you will be a victim of scams or fraud, so that the caveat here. Many people also thinks that crypto is a get rich quick scheme, which is not. And it's not like a magical bean that will make your reach.

So as far as it becoming global currency? Not sure, maybe it will, maybe the government won't allow it.

5587  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Biggest SCAM from YOBIT Exchange in ICO today ! on: October 15, 2021, 11:14:21 PM
sympathy for the yobit is now starting to crumble.  yobit has become one of the exchanges that do not have great potential.  i see yobit is so bad so it's natural that yobit is said to be a scam and many ico projects fail if they are on yobit

What sympathy? Yobit has been in crypto sphere for years and their reputation has been tainted since I joined this forum 4 years ago and still are up to this time.

So I really don't know what people still prefer to trade and used that exchange. And hopefully those who got burnt will learn their lessons in a very expensive way. A lot has change in the landscape as far as investment goes, but Yobit still uses this old but very effective strategy.

Lol, Haters gonna hate though, still early to conclude that there's no chemistry and that they are a good 7th-8th place team. Gonna love those haters, and we all know that Lebron just want some fuel to his quest for another ring and tie the GOAT Michael Jordan at 6.
5589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 15, 2021, 04:59:42 PM
if you are rooting for canelo, yes much better if you will bet the over/under as the odds are better than betting full-time. as canelo is motivated to finish this fight early because of the surrounding drama, placing bet under may be a good choice. this event is fast approaching so hoping that no other reasons that they will cancel this fight.

and btw, based from this article, caleb was not actually talking about his mom, but he was referring to canelo himself. just a misunderstanding.

It's a total misunderstanding on the part of Canelo that resulted a fiery face off between Plant. The fight is fast approaching and odds on these upcoming fight are on favor on Canelo while Plant stands as underdog but who knows what will going to be the result after their fight this coming November 6. Despite of what have been happened on their face off I would go place a bet on Canelo which I prefer to based on the past fight records of a fighter.
Everyone would bet on Canelo to win as he is a heavy favorite to win against Plant, and what happened in the press conference only put more hate on the Plant from Canelo's fans and they want to see Plant suffer in the hands of Canelo. I understand that we should not underestimate Plant, but his attitude towards the champion is unacceptable as he disrespected a woman that Canelo loves so much.

It might be good if Canelo will put a deliberating and painful beat down of Caleb instead of going for a early knockout. I remember Usyk doing that to one of his opponents, (I forgot the name), he just played and toyed with that fighter before the referee stops the fight.

That could be one of a fight for Canelo and punishing Caleb from round 1 to 12. Totally destroying him physically and emotionally.

That is a bad move in my opinion, if the knock out presents itself then Canelo will go for it.

But saying that he will intentionally make Caleb suffer by extending the fight itself? I doubt that coach Reynoso will have that kind of tactic. Canelo should be wise enough by now that he could be hit by a punch that can change the complexion of the fight. For sure they have they game plan already, but I doubt that this strategy will be one of them.
5590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 15, 2021, 03:22:08 PM
The way things are going at this moment I think BTC will hit 70k by November!

Or even higher this November, I'm seeing in the $80k range, but let's see.

The price has been fluctuating from $59k-$60,200, and if ever we sustain the growth of $60k in the next 48 hours, we can hit $70k before the end of the month. The bullish sentiments is still here and investors are still willing to pour their money because everyone is waiting for that 6 digits in December. So $70k is just conservative in my opinion.
5591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 14, 2021, 11:42:46 PM
The latest news according to Kambosos himself is that the fight will be made in November 13.

Quote
“I am hearing the date of the fight could be November 13. I am ready to fight today or any date Eddie Hearn says. I am not the one who has been postponing the Lopez v Kambosos fight.”

https://fightnews.com/kambosos-lopez-on-nov-13/122250

It's still tentative date though, just a month away from today, not sure if this is viable. But we all know that they have been training for a year now and fans are eagerly waiting for it to happen this year. Both are confident to win, so let see how it goes next month.

What's interesting to read and I'm not aware of it, is that George Kambosos manager works in Triller. And yet when the fight with Triller was scrapped, Peter Khan chooses side and resign with the Triller management group and stick with Kambosos. I guess it's just business for this guys and there is loyalty or something. As majority of you have said, this is long overdue and it's so frustrating to see the original fight being cancelled many times. But finally, we have a date in our hand and hopefully this time, the fight is going to happen.

That is just pure business decision by Peter Khan. We all know that this boxing promoters or boxing itself involves billions of money every year. And maybe Peter really saw a bright future on George Kambosos that's why he decided to stick with him. And it was also said that Peter and George father are close, so maybe that's one reason as well.

And just like all of you guys, I'm also excited to see how this match will go down. I'm sure this will happen before the end of this year.
5592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 14, 2021, 11:20:06 PM
@bisdak40 - thanks for the update, yeah, it seems that Casimero has bolted out of MP. Not really sure what Manny Pacquiao still trust Sean Gibbons, as I have said before, this has the making of a "Michael Koncz" again.

In any case it was good that both Nonito and John Riel are in good terms and the Donaire's are helping John Riel jump to the back yard of Richard and his team on Probellum.

Who knows, maybe we can see Donaire and Casimero on the same card, that will be huge for Filipino boxing fans around the world.
5593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 14, 2021, 10:53:58 PM
It's funny. I thought earlier that the Nets and Lakers to be the main contenders for the title this season. However, both teams have some problems at the moment. The Lakers don't look like favorites after a terrible performance during preseason. Regarding the Nets, I doubt that Durant and Harden will be able to reach the final series if Irving doesn't change his mind about vaccination.

It's too early to say that both teams are not going to make it this season.

There are a lot of games, they can be the top seed, or be the eight, but what's important is how they bring their teams in the playoffs. Utah Jazz was the top seed and every one thinks that they can at least make it to the Western conference finals. So anything can still happen, Kyrie thinking of retiring if ever Nets trade him? For sure he might regret that decision.
5594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Putin believes Bitcoin has value on: October 14, 2021, 02:02:08 PM
Still not buying it though, as per my experience reading news coming from Russian government, they've seen to be releasing statements that is contrasting. So it's hard to accept something as true coming from them, just saying. And we all know how oppressive Russian's regime under Putin. Crypto will give so much freedom for their people and he may not like it on the long run. Again, take everything with a "bag of salt",  just saying.
5595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 12, 2021, 09:36:04 AM
It depends on the skills of the fighter as we have some champions who are good at trash-talking, good example is Floyd Mayweather Jr., he is a very smart fighter, it doesn't matter to him if people call him boring as long as he makes tons of money in boxing and was able to retain his undefeated record.

Floyd was really unique. Floyd Mayweather to boxing is what Tiger Woods is to golf, or Cristiano Ronaldo to football. I really doubt whether any other fighter would be able to achieve as much success as Mayweather did. He earned hundreds of millions of USD from his boxing career and others like Canelo are far behind him. Even Mike Tyson at his prime couldn't earn as much as Mayweather. Will Canelo ever be able to match him? I really doubt that. Canelo doesn't have the same fan following as Mayweather.

Almost $500 million and up being earned by Floyd if I'm not mistaken. So he is there on top of everyone including Canelo.

But I think Canelo will be the second boxer in the list after retirement. Mayweather has different set of fans, they watch and buy live tickets because they want to see him lose, lol. But so far still undefeated record.
5596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: October 12, 2021, 08:49:06 AM
in some bookies, it is only 5x now for herring. but bitsler is listing it as 6x. not bad for those who want to bet on him. that's a very good winning in case herring will win. herring has more experience and a good record also. so wondering why bookies are siding heavily on shakur with the odds. is that because of the age factor? but it has been proven that age is just a number in a lot of boxing matches in the previous years. anyway, for those who are rooting for herring, this is a very good chance for you to multiply your bet in case he will win this match.

Bookies have placed Shakur Stevenson as the favorite maybe because of age and a bit of disparity in talent, I mean Shakur is now groomed to be one of Top Rank's cash cows being an olympian there is always hype on him.

Yup, that's it mate, we all know how good Top Rank is promoting their fighter, to be the next cash cow like Shakur. But the kid doesn't have the knock out power though, and I see this as "issue" for him to be the next cash cow.

But bookies could also be wrong because as far as I remember with the Herring vs Carl Framton fight, they also have placed the latter as the favorite but Herring defeated Carl so that was sort of an upset. With Shakur not so experienced yet I think the chance of an upset is high so that 6.xx odds is so tempting and attractive.

Correct, he was the underdog with the Frampton fight, but he completely annihilate and score knock downs and win the fight with stoppage if my memory serves me right. So that 6.x odds is very attractive specially for those who love to go on the underdogs.

As far as I can remember, as early as 2017-2018, Bitmain has already a plan B in case the Chinese government put a ban on mining or anything related to crypto. It is somewhere located to US, in Texas of all the places.

Perhaps they are slowly moving out of China, or maybe would remain their production but not full 100% as the government might change their mind and even attack Bitmain for all good reasons (manufacturing).

But I'm not surprised by the slow response though, typically it might takes weeks to get even one reply to them. So I will wait before I make a follow up email.
5599  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bitcoin going to burst anytime soon on: October 11, 2021, 11:40:10 PM
Typical banker argument against bitcoin. But we have heard this kind of argument before, specially after the burst in 2018, but look at the current price, it goes x3 of the last all time high. Maybe he is right, it might burst anytime soon, but bitcoin has the resiliency to come back and recover.

So it's just a matter of timing, it's not like the tulip bubble wherein it didn't recover after it was burst. And that's why I don't find the analogy between bitcoin bubble and the tulip mania so convincing because it's a different scenario.
5600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nano Shiba Inu! Rebase coin! on: October 11, 2021, 11:18:19 PM
The question is where SHIB token was coming from if your project didn't have actual product that generates active income to be distributed to nano shib holders? your marketing trick was so bad. Rebase token was also a very bad mechanism. I have seen that if almost all of rebase tokens have become scammy token. Rebase token will never have good performance. You can see ampleforth and base token if you didn't believe me.

The rebase token for the shitcoin will not work and it doesn't make sense if shit coin needs to become a rebase token. it sounds like another scammy coin will be coming soon again.

Lol, this meme (shit) coin are just re-inventing the wheel, but if they don't offer anything then why would you put your hard earn money on this project?

I would rather go for prime movers altcoin or at least in the top 10 that is solid and with reputable people behind. Good marketing but I doubt that investors are going to bite on this kind of promotion. As I have said, they are just jumping on the hype and when the hype dies down, and so is your investments.
