@Hirose UK. I agree on your argument that Inoue does not need this fight, however, I very much disagree that this fight will be worthless if this was negotiated by their teams, approved by the fighters and promoted by the promoters. This will be one of the biggest fights in boxing similar to Tank vs. King Ry. If they are not fighting for a championship, this fight will also be a legacy fight.

It will really cemented their legacy specially for the winner of this fight and I think it will be bigger than Tank vs King Ry specially if Inoue can continue to win and become a champion and dominated his opponent, similar to what Tank Davis might also do.

So it will be good though, no matter how you look at it and then we have the comparison again with Manny Pacquiao going up in weight limit and then punishing Miguel Cotto at his best weight class. So this is very much possible to happen, hopefully both can sit down and talk if the opportunity presents itself.

I very much agree, especially if the Japanese fans want to compare him to Pacman. Inoue should accept great challenged vs. great boxers who might be bigger than him. However, if he is happy to be less than Pacman and all of the great boxers then this is also okay. But the Japanese fans should never say that Inoue is on a similar level as Pacman. Also, I am aware that this is arguable, but I reckon Mayweather is lesser than Pacman in boxing greatness.

To be fair, I don't see Inoue backing down from any challenges, he has tasted the canvass already and so it might make him hungry and motivated the next time and doesn't want that to happen to him. But we really don't know though on the side of Tank Davis. He has publicity said that he will not fight Inoue because Inoue is too small for him. Although he said that will be a fun fight.

Also, another comparison is Pacman vs. Antonio Margarito who is very much bigger than Pacman. After he won the championship against him, Pacman said he can keep the championship because he will not fight in the heavier middleweight division again hehehehe.

Pacquiao was really hurt in that fight. He admitted that he took him weeks to recover specially the body blows that he took and there are rounds that he almost knock down from a huge body shot from Margarito.

Dallas ako sa game na to, mag risk na ako sa -3.5 at nasa 2.00 pa. Tingin ko pipilitin ng Dallas na manalo rito at nakikita ko na si Luka at si Kyrie ang gagawa ng malaking score baka tig 30+ plus sila ngayon game para maiwasan ang 3-0.

Pag nanalo eh baka magka momentum pa ang makuha ang game 4 para sa tabla.

At may balitang wala is KP kaya malaking bagay to sa Dallas at dapat maka puntos din ng mga alley oop kay Lively at Gafford.

Talo tayo kabayan, 3-0 na. Sayang yung 3rd quarter ng Dallas, hindi sila umiskor ng maayos, saka sa 4th quarter big run sana na baba sa 3 points nalang ang lead ng Celtics pero malas lang kasi na fouled out si Luka. Game 4, mukhang wala ng gana yan, di na muna ako pupusta kasi 50/50 na yan.

Malas rin yung over ko, dallas 108.5, kung maganda sana scoring nila sa 3rd, easy win yun. hehe.

Congrats sa nakataya sa Kabila. pangit finals ngayon.

Oo nga, maganda naman ang skoran ng dalawa kaya lang wala talagang suporta, si Lively at PJ Washington lang si Gafford sana kahit double digit sa scoring pero ewan ko matamlay.

3rd quarter sila natambakan eh, nagpumilit humabol naman pero kinapos. Akala ko direcho na yung maganda nilang pakita nung 1st quarter pero daming binato ni Luka na sumablay. Sabi nga ni Joel Embiid sa tweet nila, binigay ng Bucks ang championship sa Boston nung ni trade nila si Holiday para makuha lang si Lillard. Ngayon si Holiday magiging 2x champion na hehehehe.

Since Bitcoin is a completely decentralized currency, there is no way to know when and how much money is being sent to whom, both the sender and receiver remain anonymous. So Bitcoin is used to buy and sell various criminal and illegal products. So various arms smuggling activities are paid through Bitcoin. Also, all transactions on the dark web are done through Bitcoin. Which is very sad for us


It is essentially a perfect medium of transaction for all the terrorists and criminals of the dark web. This is why the governments of different countries have declared Bitcoin illegal in their countries. If these actions could be stopped somehow, Bitcoin would be legal in all countries of the world. But in any case, I hope that slowly Bitcoin will be able to gain legality in all countries.

I don't know but this is just another myth for Bitcoin, and that they are being used by criminals, perhaps you can read all about it,

https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/crypto-laundering/

It's old though in 2020, but for sure the numbers are going down because all those that you mentioned, the US government might be tracking them as we all know that they are watching bitcoin mixers and tumblers and as soon as they followed the trail and that they are being used, US are going to shut it down for good.

However, it doesn't mean that Bitcoin could be legal or gain legality, it has powers that government are afraid of.

But how about the Dallas vs Celtics, can Luka win the FMVP?

I agree with what Maslate wrote above, the FMVP award will go to either Tatum or Brown. If Luka had averaged 40-45+ points per game in this series, he could have been eligible for this award despite the loss. But as it is, the final series turned out to be kind of boring, i.e. without any intrigue. I mean, the Celtics took the Mavs too easy.

Yeah, I think it will be Brown though, (I might be biased here), but in the Eastern conference finals, it was Brown who has declared the winner and he is really performing very well in the last 2 games. This could be his worst performance though, but still even though he has a bad shooting in the first half, he was able to recover and carry the team in the second half.

But then again, at least 1 win for the Mavs here, we don't want a boring finals series wherein it was a sweep. We can only hope that they can still win the next game and then we see how it goes.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 13, 2024, 08:57:19 AM
More precisely, real victory in gambling is not about how big a win we achieve, but how capable we are of controlling the gambling activity itself.

Everyone who has been involved in gambling for a long time has certainly had their luck and achieved some big wins, but these wins are in vain when we are unable to control the gambling. What we get is lost for nothing in the next gambling session.


Making a withdrawal of the winnings achieved and withdrawing for a moment from gambling activities is the first step to safeguarding what we have earned. For the next step, don't deposit the money from the winning rice in your account or in your digital wallet, it would be wiser if you invest the money, spend it or lend it to people you trust.

Yeah, it is hard to actually quit when you win big, because our brains evolved to continue things that are working, and winning clearly is one of them.

Now, the thing is that the casinos have all of this figured out, and they trick your brain to try to keep you gambling as much as they can.

At the end of the day, most gamblers will have spent more than what they won. And that's by design.

I don't know, maybe thru experience, a gambler might have control of themselves when they actually win big and then quit for a while and not comeback. I myself have been in this predicament, however, I have matured already, as me and my buddy has this saying, at least if you play and you are already losing and then there's one chance that you able to come back, then quit.

And most likely that's what we have been doing, let's say I have a budget of $100 and almost lost it until a game that give me like $50 back, then I will take it as a win already instead of losing all that $100. And maybe come back another day and hopefully you can win big + that $50 that you have lost earlier.

Final press conference here,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DNN00v5sbo

Just funny though how Tank presents himself in this conference, it seems that he attacks everyone from the Martin side, including Frank Martin's manager, which is Errol Spence. But just how weird seeing Derrick James and Errol Spence besides each other when this two has been on a battle? Isn't it awkward though?

DERRICK JAMES, ERROL SPENCE EMBROILED IN TWO-WAY LAWSUIT AMIDST BITTER SPLIT.

69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct on: June 12, 2024, 11:46:16 AM
Also, it has been speculated that Spence was dehydrated and weak for the fight vs. Crawford. He will not have this problem vs. Fundora because this fight will be in super welterweight. This might be a knockout victory for Errol Spence.

There's always an speculation like that after a boxer losses in a fight, why can't just we accept that it was a fair fight and Crawford was the better boxer that time. Now, it's a comeback fight of Spence and we are expecting a knockout, I'm not saying it won't happen but I really have doubt since we've see this underrated boxer Fundora on how he beat a champion in a close battle.

It will always be that argument that if someone losses a big fight, it could be either be that he has problem with weight, or their preparation is not enough. But as you have said, it was clearly that Crawford is the better fighter and he was the favorite going into this fight.

But here, since this is '54 lbs, there's no way that Spence can used that excuses, he should be man enough if he losses again and it could really put a lot of pressure on him on whether he will continue with his career or not. Or we will see if Crawford took everything from him and he might not be the same Spence that we have know prior to his first lost.

And the drama still continues,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL9_EcnFNno

Tank Davis was unable to make it in the grand arrivals, only it was his training Calvin Ford, the trainer of Tank. So there's a lot of speculation about Tank not showing, but the most important thing is that fight night he will be there.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 12, 2024, 02:33:31 AM
The crazy thing is that the Mavericks are the favorites to win game 3… In not sure home court advantage can make up for the shortcomings we’ve been witnessing.
The Celtics are deaf with the crowd noise but homecourt advantage is still an advantage for any team that they're playing at their own home.

I've seen a survey that most of the states in the US except one are in wanting to see the Dallas Mavericks win the ring this season. But let's see if that will matter.

I am starting to see fans tell that Celtics @ 4.

Mavs is what we call the sentimental favorites for basketball fans across US. I don't know why they have the hate against Celtics though, maybe it was that Boston has many championships already and that's why they wanted for the Mavs and Luka to get one at least in his career.

I do agree that homecourt advantage is still an advantage. Usually, teams perform very well in their homecourt with their fans behind them with all the support and love. Hopefully, it will be true that the Dallas team can get 1 win in this series, to get him confidence to get back and tie in in game 4.
Maybe that's a reason.

People just want to see another team take the ring. Like for last year, despite that Nuggets took their first one, they're being loved afterward.

This time, it's gonna be with the Mavs. I guess we get that a lot when a team gets a lot of rings already. Also, I don't like those court reactions of fans against Mavs players like Kyrie.

Yeah, the boos that Kyrie got from the fans of the Celtics but I guess the memory is still fresh when Kyrie played with them and didn't bring any plus when he stomped their lucky logo in the middle.

But game 3 might be different for the Mavericks, it's back to where they could be comfortable playing, without the booing fans so I expect Kyrie to be himself and wax hot early. He just need someone to poke him, just like what ANT did to him in their series against the Wolves and Kyrie performing just like the old version of himself like he was still in Cleveland. We need that version of him in this series to make it more interesting.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Understand Math? on: June 12, 2024, 02:05:05 AM
Who remembers this old line- the lottery is a tax on people who don't understand math. Let's shift from the lottery and talk about gambling. In gambling do you think that your understanding of math would make you better at gambling.

Not necessarily, even if you have the understanding of math, your decision will still be clouded most of the time because you might think illogical and just base everything on what you see or what is your current situation and you won't based your decision on math itself.

Not necessarily by making you hit the jackpot, but in winning moderately, gambling responsibly, and in choosing strategies for games like poker or blackjack, over games of pure chance like slots or roulette? And now, back to the lottery quote, do you agree?

But there is still the house edge though, and the randomness of numbers that makes it unpredictable even though we have the math down to the tee like in blackjack as you will never know what will be the next card that is going to be dealt with.

74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: June 12, 2024, 01:16:31 AM
Social media actually have a lot of impact in gambling because the influencers can actually promote your gambling on a high way and it may cause a lot of traffic to the gambling site and any gambling or casino which social media promotes or influencers it is always the top at that point because they believe that for a influencer to talk about this which message is legit and very nice to understand but it might not really be so so that is one of the impacts that I understood because of this social media influencing gambling activities. Well saying much is not really my thing on this but this is the little idea I have concerning it

Yes, because social media now is very different, it has far reaching effect. Anyone from Africa to Asia can be a influencer including gambling itself. We have seen it in the last couple of years with the emergence of the likes of Instagram, Tiktok which is right now is the top social media. And then we have the old school Facebook and Youtube, then that is the perfect formula to reach anyone regardless of age, religion, sex and that is the scary part.

And the number of gamblers and those turning into addicts could grow because of social media. That's why it's really very important to us to really have self control. It's not that bad to play and gamble, but please don't let it take over our lives just because our favorite gambling influencer is betting big and we want to emulate them.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 11, 2024, 08:55:53 PM
And after that HI Turki Alalshikh also made official that Bivol’s fight with Beterbiev will be this October 12. And I think Beterbiev could be around 80-90% and his injuries are healing enough to be ready for October. I think that's what we are looking, the next biggest fight for this year, unification and then we also have David Benavidez inserting his name in the LHW division.

I didn't know the date was announced. October is not very far away. Hopefully they gave enough time to Arthur to recover properly. He's not the youngest anymore and knee injury is one of the worst, as it makes any boxing or cardio training impossible, maybe except for some upper body strength exercises.
This will be the biggest fight in Beterbiev's career, so he shouldn't rush to it until he's 100% healthy.

For sure there is no rush for Beterbiev, still a lot of time for him to recover and be healthy and go to train because he knows what are the risk involved here, it's the unification and fans are eagerly waiting for this biggest fight at LHW after many years.

That's the thing do with boxers who really aged, they have a lot of damage already and sooner or later it will show and that's what happen here, it is a ruptured meniscus.

And as far as I know, he was mandated by the WBC to submit the medical examination and most likely keeping tabs with them.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: June 11, 2024, 11:17:12 AM
Ryan seems to have fall from grace after winning the fight against Haney.
He was arrested just today due to vandalism. Beverly Hills Hotel accused him of vandalism and the damage was estimated at $15,000.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/40309457/ryan-garcia-arrested-alleged-damages-hotel-beverly-hills
It's reported he is intoxicated but normally, the hotel will just ask to pay for damages but looks like they call the police lol its going to make things worse.

Ryan’s behavior outside the ring is an indication that it was not just an act when he was saying and doing crazy things. He is not mentally stable and should seek treatment. When you have the wealth that Ryan has, people are going to be intimidated about confronting him and trying to help him because he can cut them off financially and use his influence to make their lives unpleasant. Even his promoter is going to tolerate his actions because he is their biggest cash cow.

At some point Ryan might become a danger to himself and somebody is going to have to step in and intervene.

And so his team has another battle in their hands here, but if it is about money, I think Ryan can pay for it,

Quote
“We are working diligently to provide Ryan with the resources he needs,” attorney Chavez said. “Our team is committed to ensuring that he receives the appropriate help and care to address both his immediate and long-term well-being.

“We ask for continued support and compassion as Ryan focuses on his family and his health at this time.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcias-legal-team-respond-his-arrest--184134

They mentioned about Ryan's mom and her deteriorating health, and it could be one factor that trigger Ryan to act this way again in public. But hopefully, he can get over this mental struggles that he is going on right now.

Mukhang malaki ang chance ni xLays (4-1) at inthelongrun (4-0).. Kaya lang sa finals MVP, mukhang di sure, hehe.. kasi in the last 2 games, hindi top scorer is Jason Tatum. Mukhang exiting pa rin. .Kung marami sanang sumali, mas malaki ang chance na may manalo.

Kung si Brown naman maging MVP, may chance din itong si Baofeng

Boston 4-2 (Brown).

Wag muna masyadong pag maaga eh, hehehe. Pero maganda nakikita ko, mananalo ang Boston ulit sa game 3 para 3-0, tapos sa game 4 babalik ang Dallas para hindi ma sweep 3-1 na. Tapos sa Boston Garden para naman sa 4-1 at si Brown ang MVP, hehehe.

Pero goodluck parin sa lahat ng may mga hula, although 2-0, hindi naman alam baka mag Luka magic na at mabalik ni Kyrie ang laro nya para maging 2-2 tong serye na to na pasarapin tayong mga mananaya.
78  Economy / Gambling / Re: BK8 - Biggest and Most Trusted Brand. Asia's #1 Crypto online casino BTC & USDT on: June 11, 2024, 01:24:42 AM
I have no idea if this suggestion was already said here but here's my take.

Could BK8 please automatically give the points out from the daily mission and not let the gamblers do the claiming one by one? It's not about being lazy but it's about forgetting it sometimes. Days ago I deposited 1000 PHP and I forgot to claim those daily coins/points because I forgot about that feature. Maybe there's a chance that you could just let your customers receive them according to the amount they deposited? It's a waste when it is forgotten because I know we could exchange it for something else once we hit an amount listed in your promos.

If I'm not mistaken, this has been suggested already. But I guess if you played on land-based casinos as well, they won't tell your daily rewards or weekly, you have to claim it yourself before you can take advantage of their promotions and giveaways.

Just a question though, did you used our local wallet (Gcash) to deposit and play with them? How was your experienced mate?
