https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/31732427/london-based-bettor-wins-136-million-six-leg-parlay-harris-english-putt

This is the most insane winning parlay I've ever seen.  And with the last leg resting on a golf match that went deep into a playoff.  Would have had a heart attack watching myself

Yeah, I agree, this is insane winning, and on a parlay that is really hard to do.

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

I hit a couple of parlays in NBA, like x12 is the most I hit, with 4-5 winnings. I just got lucky I guess, and I still wanted to hit like x100 but it is very difficult because you can't really be so sure. Even the favourite can lost. I have a team which lead by 18 only to falter in the fourth quarter and obviously my parlays got destroyed.

Most of us must have lost that Bucks game versus the Hawks and I think it's not just us but a lot more gamblers out there.
That's like -20 points without Trae but when Giannis fell when it was just a 7 point lead at 3rd quarter I knew the Bucks will be deep on losing it.
Thinking that it's already a blowout  Grin Roll Eyes But everything went well with the Hawks, they prevent losing and managed to tie the series.

Quote
Gotta win this next game. Clippers versus Suns. Clippers homecourt advantage and if they can play well without Zubac slowing them down then it could be a win. (questionable)
Clippers -1.5 Over 214.5 Will put a little bet for an overtime.  Wink Cheers.
Let Batum and Morris to  take care inside and the usual set up of Beverly/Mann, PG and Jackson.
Playing at home they need to start strong and prevent CP3 and Booker to play big.

Clippers fans needs to help bringing the noise at home and do every possible ways to destruct Suns offensive attempts..


The fans will be there, no doubt about it, the Suns should have finished the Clippers at home. Now they have to travel to LA again and face the noise of the Clippers fans. Just look at how the Atlanta Hawks bother Giannis in the FT line, for sure those Clippers fans are going to be so noisy specially against Booker and CP3.

So I think with that advantage and their energy high, I think the Clippers with George and Jackson are going to win again and potentially tie the series.

Just the same, Bucks have that huge advantages since Trae's condition is still questionable, even he made to play he's capabilities to provide is very much limited due to that injury, if Bucks will take this and not giving any hope for the Hawks this series may possible to end much earlier.

Trae Young is the heart and soul of the team, if he is injured and can't produce as usual, then his team will struggle. They have to remember that they are in the ECF already, the test is getting tougher and the Bucks are also a hungry team, they want to win a championship especially Giannis who has been criticized many times for failing to reach the NBA finals, and sometimes his team got easily dominated.

If Trae Young is not 100% today or won't play then I will pick the Bucks to win over 218.5

As you have said, Trae is the leader of this team, if he is injured then it will be a challenge for the team as Bucks has a lot of offensive firepower. Milwaukee is also one of the best offensive team right now and also allowing their opponents 103 point per 100 possessions. I think it will be another dominating win for the Bucks.

And the Hawks has responded without Trae Young, Lou Williams have a good game in the first quarter and that is enough or the Hawks to take an early lead and now it's going to like 20 points. And without Giannis now, the Bucks need to dig deeper in their arsenal. I'm not really sure if the over 2018 can be met in this game. The same as last game, both are playing good defense so it might be an obvious under, but I don't know if Bucks could win.

You are right, that's why I have to do some live betting to cover my early Bucks pick (lost) and still win a few sats.



And I agree that this is one for the books, playing without Trae Young, but still manage to shutdown the Bucks early, and limit them to less than 100 points, that's outstanding defense.

Lou Williams and Bogdanovic came up big. The big question is how Giannis knee after that bad fall and Trae Young injury. Will both of them be available in the next game?

Ok, so another fight that we all have been waiting for. As confirmed by Eddie Hearn, there will be a third match between these 2 great super flyweights. This year, it was a classic back and forth war, but Estrada edging Chocolatito by split decision. So now it's 1-1. They will have to settle in the upcoming trilogy as to who is the best.



https://www.boxingscene.com/juan-francisco-estrada-vs-roman-chocolatito-gonzalez-trilogy-slated-oct-16-usa--158783

At this point I can't make up my mind, I wanted to see Chocolatito win by Estrada's volume punching can sway the judge in his favour in close rounds.

@bisdak40 - bro, what's you call on this? I know that you are a big fan of Chocolatito, hehehe

5726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 29, 2021, 10:46:09 PM
If this match is pursued and done, I think they can now pursue the Garcia match.  Cheesy

I wonder if Garcia would still want Manny if Manny will destroy Spence. And if Manny loses in the Spence fight, the interest will also drop in his fight against Garcia, so I think what Garcia's camp is protecting here is the current value, or maybe they are just making news but their case is not really that strong.

Manny has nothing to lose in this fight and win or lose against Spence, the interest of Garcia to fight Manny will not drop as it will always be a money-fight regardless of the outcome of the Spence fight.

True, Pacquiao is what we called "sweepstakes" fight for anyone.

I wonder if Manny could still focus on his training with this recent spat with the President of the Philippines. This recent issue had an effect on his popularity as a politician and also a little bit as a boxer as the focus will not be the same when he has nothing to worry about back in his homeland.

I do hope that Manny can focus on boxing, ether Garcia or Spence. Just step aside politics first, already he already making a noise in Philippine politics with his recent attack on Duterte and it really doesn't sound good right now. And it seems that he already declared war on Duterte already. In any case, let's do hope that boxing can make him relax and release all the "bad energy" onto his opponent.

Final conclusion before I locked the thread:

Lomachenko is back, he might not choose the best boxer in his comeback, although myself believed that Nakatani is a good opponent, but the skills levels are very different.

We just hope to see Lomachenko vs Lopez rematch in 2022. Smiley

Ok guys thanks for those who have replied and I hope that some of you won in this match.

Yes, there are a lot of options for Tank Davis both in the 135 and 140 lbs division. So for now I'm going to lock this thread and hopefully we can see Davis fight again in the future.

I think it's still possible that Clippers would come back, who knows, maybe they'll make history again.
I agree there's always a chance but pulling off a reverse sweep is very unlikely given that you have to play on the road twice. If you plan on backing the Clippers I think you're better off with the plus points since they're playing in Phoenix and their games usually comes down to the wire.

If they have a player name Lebron James, they might recover and win from a 1-3 deficit.  Wink. Unfortunately, they have Pandemic Paul, who choke on FT's.

For the next game i'm leaning on the Bucks but I feel like Atlanta will come out hot after that game 2 blowout. What do you guys think ?

I'm going ML for the Hawks, might be a low scoring game because of good defense from both team. But I feel that Trae Young will bounce back from one of his worst performance in this playoffs.
5731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Tank Davis vs Barrios - June 26 on: June 27, 2021, 06:00:42 AM
Very competitive fight. Tank had a lot of problems with Barrios height and it took a while before he was able to get going. Barrios had some good rounds but he is clearly not on the same level. I really can't see Davis beating Josh Taylor and he would struggle against the top lightweights. He will continue to be matched carefully but he should at least fight Ryan Garcia. I think that is the most winnable fight for him amongst all of the big names he could potentially face next.

Josh Taylor will be the competition in this division he is the undisputed champion so all roads lead to him. We will have to wait and see if Davis is going to target Taylor next. I'm also thinking that Davis might to back to 135 lbs and chase Garcia or even Haney (both winnable) and loads of money in the table

Anyone bet on this match though?
5732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 27, 2021, 05:33:32 AM
Cheers bro @bisdak40,



I initially predicted a UD for Loma, but I said that he will make a statement win so he will definitely look for a KO win. And you will see at the early rounds, there's no feeling out, he started with his hands speed and head-hunting. And then later in round 5 I think he started to break him down with body shots then switch to the head. That left straight is on the money, Nakatani doesn't have any answer but to jab.
5733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will never be gone on: June 26, 2021, 11:00:27 PM
I have always thought that bitcoin will last forever.
Well, the same as here. Imagine, as of now there are some countries legalizing bitcoin and using it, does it mean people will continue using this as an alternative currency. Bitcoin will not be gone forever, the same as fiat bitcoin will do the same. If the payment system will be gone, perhaps there is a chance Bitcoin will be gone too. In fact, bitcoin as of now is very useful when ait comes to a paperless transaction and avoid from possible person to person contact to each other.

Technically, the last bitcoin should be mine in 2140, so we won't see it in our lifetime. So we will never know if bitcoin will continue to exists by that time or just simply some 'token' that we can collect. So I guess the best thing to do is really take advantage of it. The OP says great things happen in his/her life and so as the others. So just continue what we are doing, continue to accumulate BTC, set our goals and hope that the price will continue to exists in the next 10-20 years.
5734  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Next 10 years of Bitcoin? on: June 26, 2021, 10:24:54 PM
In the next 12 years, there will be 3 halvings, so it means that "almost all bitcoins" are mined that time. So used your imagination and see what will be the price that time because bitcoin are going to be scarce and obviously, the law of supply and demand will play a big role here.

So we might be in the 6 digits in the next 10-12 years and obviously, it will stood the test of time. Just a matter of what we are going to do today so that our future with the help of bitcoin will be secure and we will enjoy financial freedom.
5735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 26, 2021, 11:00:28 AM
^^ Jrue might be a perfect fit for the Bucks to handle Trae, but we have seen his shimmy so I don't how how effective it is. They need rotation, fresh body on Trae to somewhat stop him or at least slow him down.
You are right with that,  they need to put more bodies on him, maybe a quicker one so the defender will be able to limit Trae.
It would not help for the Bucks if they will still allow Trae to score 40 points tonight, or even 30 points.

I have 221-230 point range in this game, good odds @3.46.  Grin

It will be a tough game for the Bucks here, Trae Young has so much confidence going into this series.


I would take the under as this game would be a defensive one, it's the strategy of the Bucks to slow down games and be more physical to win, so tonight, I'm expecting to see this kind of scenario.

Thanks for your insight, I have to second thoughts on my bet, so decided to cash out, lost few Sats along the way but then double it down to 211-220 point range. And thanks to "garbage time", was able to reach that score barely with seconds to go:

5736  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC Go for Another All Time High This Year? on: June 25, 2021, 11:10:11 PM
If Bitcoin doesn’t hit $115K by year end it will signal a breakdown on one of the most accurate prediction models. That departure alone might be enough to spook the market into a self fulfilling downward cycle of cascading liquidations. I don’t think it would be the end of Bitcoin, just the end of dreams of hitting over a million per BTC in 2025.

Yeah, the S2F model is one of the most accurate so far and eventhough we are in a bearish cycle right now, it still points to a 6 digit at the end of the year. If this didn't happen or at least the model failed, it will have a negative effect on the sentiments and we could see a downward spiral just like 2018.

So long term, I'm still holding to that prediction that $100k could be achieved, might take some time. The last quarter of this year will be critical, so let's see how everything pan out.

Final weigh-in

         
         

Both doesn't look weight drained for me, surprisingly, even if Nakatani is the taller guy, it seems his body is used to this fighting weight.

@bisdak40 - any livestreaming site bro?
5738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Tank Davis vs Barrios - June 26 on: June 25, 2021, 10:00:59 PM
Final weigh-in:

         
         

For those who love to read body languages.

Both look superb, as I have said, no more weight drain for Davis, so we can see that he looks healthy, heck he can even go as high as 147 lbs.

Barrios look drain though, obviously he is the taller. But he can rehydrate and we will see how much weight he can put in this fight.

Barrios has no problem Tank touching his belt, hehehe. I'm sure this is going to be a war, but won't last the distance.
5739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 25, 2021, 04:04:59 PM
The suns chemistry is ruin by Chris paul return, in the last two games their style of play is very different, they were attacking and moving without the ball when Chris return they need to wait for Chris to set up a play, they should have tried what is working, certainly, the Clippers can't keep up with the level of plays in those two games, but I think game 4 will be alright for the suns.

Does it? I don't think so, CP3 has been a big part of the success of the Suns, yes, they played a slow pace but I believe that's the game plan. Pane is a great back up of CP3, but he was injured in the game so that's a big loss for the Suns, in addition, booker is not shooting well.

It's a bad night for Suns and  good night for clippers since imagine the hot shooting of Suns has been limited at that game, Maybe there's adjustment for players since maybe Booker is  not comfortable with his mask and Cp3 has newly comeback from injury. Maybe we can see  the real action on game 4 since for sure Suns will revenge on  their game 3 lose.

Also  they need to limit the clippers stars if they want to win the 4.

After game 1, the game has become so physical already. The Clippers understand that they have a good chance of being the Suns if they are more physical and I think the Clippers have more players getting minutes compared to the Suns, and being Physical makes the starters of the suns tired, and thats' where there advantage will come.

This is the WCF, it's really going to be physical, and I think both team know that. They really did a good job at Booker in this game, as compare to Game 2 wherein Booker was just running around and hitting that mid range jump shot.

Game 3 was different, Beverly started to play physical on him, and try to have Booker work harder and spend more energy. It just a bad game for the Suns, they can't get their rhythm and the Clippers didn't allow them to jump early and do the catch up again. It was a total team effort on the part of the Clippers, Ty Lue has adjusted so let's see if they can continue their defense on both Booker and Chris Paul next game.
