601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Teofimo Lopez Vs. Jamaine Ortiz WBO Welterweight Title February 8 on: December 23, 2023, 09:35:13 AM
I thought Lopez has already announced his retirement from professional boxing? These boxers announcing retirement cannot stick to their word probably because of money and the desire to fight.

Ortiz is probably an easy opponent for Teofimo. Teofimo is still quick, so in terms of points he may outscore Ortiz. In terms of powerful punch that will bring the fight to an end anytime within rounds, Teofimo has also more power than Ortiz, so I think Lopez is still at an advantage. But I voted Lopez by UD.

I didn't think that you will believed his retirement announcement though? I mean he is still very young to retire and you can see from his personality that he make controversial statements and probably his retirement announcement is just one antics on his fight. I guess he already proves that he has power in this division and now he beat the unify champion in Josh Taylor. So this is his first time to defend his belt, so I think he will be the favorite and has all the advantage and possible that he can KO Lopez here although I think Ortiz could be bigger fight night if there is no rehydration clause.

Yes, Teofimo's mouth sometimes releases words and statements that haven't gone through his brain. But his decision to cancel that retirement is probably just right. He is still young and can still do a lot of things in the ring, not to mention continue making money. It's still easy for him to look for opponents.

What do you mean he can KO Lopez? You mean Lopez can KO Ortiz? That's possible because Teofimo has strong punches. But I'm not expecting so much from Lopez anymore. That UD win over Taylor is not an indication of power. That was a close fight and Taylor wasn't even knocked down.

Yeah, but if you look at the score, it was UD win for Lopez, so meaning he almost win every round and you can say that he schooled the former unified champion at 140 lbs. And the handed the first defend of Taylor so that shows how good Lopez is, despite his showboating at times and then releasing controversial statement in the media.

And what's important is that he won, he might not knock down Taylor, but it's a hard fought fight and in the end he emerges as victories.

So in this fight, we might see Lopez style, maybe going into another 12 full round fight is Ortiz is tougher, or if he can take his punch then maybe he will push and want to score a knockout win.
602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: December 23, 2023, 09:20:26 AM
Those who are hoping for an upset here and has actually placed a bet for it will definitely enjoy the very high odds for Tapales. That's 8.60. If it is to be translated to the probability of Tapales winning this match, that would only be around 10% chance of winning.

Slim but the probability is still there, more than 10% chance is still big if I'm not mistaken. So we really can't discount Tapales here as being a huge underdog. Remember that he also has 2 belts around his waist, so that says something about this champion.

Honestly, I can't see how Tapales can upset Inoue. In terms of points Inoue is clearly more agile than Tapales so he could earn points easily. In terms of power Inoue is also more dangerous than Tapales. Tapales could even be knocked out in this fight.

Obviously, in the last couple of fights of Inoue, he did score a knockout win that's why he has been tearing this division so to speak eventhough this is just his second fight. But his power is really one of a kind for this lower weight class and we don't know if Tapales has the chin to stay against that power punch.

Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling
Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it
From the first point I made I said you should always stake what you can afford to lose but it's important to
Take regular breaks especially when your losses are more than your wins.give yourself time to recover cause it's all about maintaining a healthy balance...I hope this helps someone out there

For the OP, I'm sure you didn't pay attention to old topics that discussed things like this before, so you created the same topic as this. It's a good idea if you want to create a topic, you have to dig up old posts that other members have made first. Avoid making the same topic.
setting a budget for gambling is something that must be done by gamblers, the point is to avoid excessive use of the budget and even incurring debt for gambling, people who apply budgeting in gambling will definitely be safe from the trap of bankruptcy and also this debt is an important thing in responsible in gambling.
Getting enough rest is also another important thing, a fresh brain will make good decisions.

Clouded decision, yeah, happen to me many times, although sometimes my brain will tell me to stop already because I'm either winning or losing, but still my heart will dictate to continue and so it's a hit or missed on my end.

So it's better to take a rest if you are being consumed by gambling, at least a day or two is good and then come back refresh and maybe you have a better strategy and saw what went wrong on your previous sessions. It's going to be hard, but at least a sound mind can make good decisions and not follow your heart.

Just crazy to hear that Teo is retiring,

Quote
A complete shocker it was not. More like the pre-ordained ending of a not-so-elaborate publicity stunt, at best.

Yep, that’s what it was.

In an announcement that surprised very few people, Teofimo Lopez declared his retirement null and void and called out archrival Devin Haney in yet another profanity-laced social media tirade, just hours before a generous deadline given by the WBO for Lopez to confirm his retirement was due to expire.

https://www.ringtv.com/655887-teofimo-lopez-un-retires-just-in-time-to-keep-his-belt-and-risk-it-against-devin-haney/

Although the article says that he wants Haney, not going to happen obviously as he Ortiz in mind at least early next year. And maybe him and Haney can talk about that fight. Both of them have belts so inevitably they will have to face to unify the belt as this is not the story, Crawford done it and now Naoya Inoue is looking to do the same against Tapales.

Teo is just 26 yo, he was just saying he wants to retire but at that age, it's a prime age.

It might not be a prime age yet for a boxer, or even in any other sports. But I do agree that he is not going to retire that early, it's unusual for a young boxer to retire, he just want to attract attention, that's it.

Ortiz hasn't fought at 140 yet, he is good but this is risky for him and Teo will probably be able to play around with him. Teo capitalized on his win over Loma while Ortiz was defeated despite Loma's age. For Teo, this isn't a real big fight but it will still be interesting to watch.  It'd be a surprise to see Teo lose.

But it's a opportunity for him that's why it's a easy decision to fight Lopez for his belt. Just like when he had that opportunity against Loma before. Top Rank gives it to him and obviously he is not taking the big share as far as the split, but still a good opportunity and he was lucky that he is under Bob Arum. So first fight moving up in weight and then relatively unknown, fights for the belt? And I do agree, Teo is going to be too much for him.
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard Rock to Hire 400 People Ahead of Rockford Casino Opening on: December 21, 2023, 11:32:18 PM

well, it's one way to generate money in the country and people will also get a job this casino can provide. 400 is probably just the start but you know that casinos demand more people because it will always grow just like any other business. 

while it provides jobs for the people, its this kind of business that will make people go and spend more money gamble. it keeps the economy going which is what every country needs in today.



In fairness, that casino hard rock is also quite big, actually 65,000 square meters. Did I read correctly? I just imagined that means all kinds of games in the casino can be found for sure there in hard rock, if I'm not mistaken. .

Maybe their priority will be to accept applicants who are from Rockford as well, and that is probably an advantage. And when many players go there, apart from the big profit that will come into hard rock, at the same time it will also help the economy of their country, which they belong to.

It's 65,000 square feet, not meters though. I think if you fit the bill then regardless of where you are, they are going to hire you. One more thing is that the hiring process will start in the first quarter of the year, so for those who are interested, don't get excited yet. But you have months to prepare yourself if ever you are interested on the positions from managerial/supervisory to chef and valet drivers.

Casino has been always in the plus side though, that's why they are opening another casinos. But it wouldn't put to much dent on the US economy, maybe their Rockford, Illinois will get the most benefit specially if they are majority hiring locals.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney (9th of December) on: December 20, 2023, 03:13:10 AM
Loma vs Haney? They fought already and Haney won, although it's controversial as others saw that Loma might have won the second stretch of the fight. Not sure though that Haney will fight Loma again, he is no longer interested at a rematch. Loma will be at a disadvantage at 140 lbs as he will be too small. It will be Haney vs the rest of the champion and then Davis when he decided to go up at 140 lbs.

Loma vs Haney at 140 will not happen as Loma will not go up in weight, 136 might be his maximum division. With regards to Haney, he is too big now that going to 136 is impractical, and besides the money fights are in the higher weight division.

Yes, I think everyone will agree on that, and even Loma himself if I'm not mistaken as he said that he is too small for 140 lbs and it will be hard for him to campaign on that weight class.

Haney vs Teo Lopez will be entertaining to watch I think as both boxers have contrasting styles, counter-puncher vs aggressor, hope they will make this fight happen while they are still in the peak of their careers.

But it's not going to happen for now as Teo is going to fight Jamaine Ortiz, as he is going up in weight at 140 lbs.

Quote
op Rank boss and Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com in an interview on Monday that the main event will feature Teofimo Lopez Jr. looking to defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Jamaine Ortiz, and the co-main event will feature lightweight upstart Keyshawn Davis taking on former two-division titlist Jose Pedraza.

https://www.boxingscene.com/teofimo-lopez-jamaine-ortiz-keyshawn-davis-jose-pedraza-headline-super-bowl-week-show-las-vegas-on-feb-8--180118

Either way, if Lopez wins here, for sure he will target all the champions in this division next.

Most likely Top Rank just wanted him to get busy first and have some confident boosting win before going with the likes of Haney, Matias and Romero in the future.
608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 20, 2023, 02:56:39 AM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
 
Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.

I think the games that have the most impact on gambling addiction are those with instant payouts and bright flashing colors and loud sounds. Games like slots, in other words. They were designed to psychologically keep you glued to the screen and to keep going and going. Those are the ones which utilize psychological tricks to distract your brain and make it believe you are receiving rewards when you are in fact, losing money.

Slots will be on top of the list here, and those slot operators as far as I know even hired psychologist or at least hire them in helping design new games base on what people wanted to see that will entice them to gamble more and then become addicted.

So every slot theme design are carefully manufactured by this operators to attract us. And then we have simple games like roulette and dice, who for some gamblers, it's purely base on their luck or how to predict what will be the next numbers that is going to win. So it's also has some psychological effects to us to feel good whenever we win on those games and we think that we can predict every outcome.

1. site is new
2. it will ask you to connect your wallet
3. report it =>> https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en

So that is the trick that his scammers have been using for a while now.

Better to really check everything first before you connect your wallet, otherwise, the scammers has a bot that can simply sweep every coins you have in your wallet.
610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The risk and reward of having Bitcoin on: December 20, 2023, 01:58:08 AM
BTC's volatility isn't even a disadvantage if you know how to utilize it well.

BTC isn't accepted by all but many are into it now. Plus you can always transact online if you are struggling offline. Hacks can be prevented if we are very careful. The last one might only be the real disadvantage of BTC. But again, we can prevent this, if we are very careful.

The first one in the advantage list seems exaggerated. I think it's enough to say that we can earn a profit with it if we know what we are doing. BTC is decentralized but some platforms related to it aren't. There are still people who don't care about it. But what important is, they can still benefit with BTC.

Bitcoin had huge volatility as compared to all the coin in the cryptocurrency market.This was the biggest reason for the bitcoin survival in the bitcoin over the decades in the market.The second reason was bitcoin can be traded with any price and sell at the highest value as the profit because of the decentralised behaviour of bitcoin.If any new people come to inverse in the cryptocurrency will choose the bitcoin as their first option.The bitcoin wallet had huge secret security system like 2factor authentication which prevent one to access to your wallet in mobile phone.

I would have to disagree though, if we are going to compare Bitcoin the rest of the altcoins, it's volatility is nothing. Just look at Bitcoin, -38% from it's last ATH, as compare to ETH, which is around -55%. So it means that we are moving better and volatility is less. Besides, not sure if you have heard about pump and dump scheme in most of the altcoins, and I will say that is not applicable to Bitcoin as there are no whales that can manipulate the price.

For a Bitcoin wallet in a mobile phone though, just remember that your phone might be connected anytime to the internet and even if you have those kind of securities, you know that hackers can still find a way to get into your wallet. That's why I don't advise Bitcoin enthusiast to used a mobile phone as there storage.
611  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can anyone be a Bitcoin speculation expert? on: December 20, 2023, 01:22:10 AM
Better to argue there are no experts at all, since its not possible to have a certain outcome thats the most feasible conclusion imo.    In this regard since some of it is luck the biggest qualifier to being with expertise is experience, time served trades done and not going broke while doing so should qualify someone as with good enough experience to advise others on future moves.   Patterns of movement in every market will tend to repeat, never exactly the same but having seen the extremes of BTC before does go some way to helping justify a more certain prediction on its next move.

I think we can say that Bitcoin prediction is not an exact math or science and so are other traditional assets. And we should also look at how infant Bitcoin data is, it's fairly young, just 10 years and so there are a lot of things that we haven't seen in this market to make predictions.

The repeating patterns that we might have been seeing might not be applicable though. So we can just pluck that out in any year and then put it on the current and says that this is going to happen in the future. But that might not happen though as again, there are certain parameters that we will have to look that might not yet occur in the past.

Quote
Social media star Jake Paul is open to the possibility of having a future fight with Viddal Riley.

Last Friday, Paul (8-1, 5 KOs) returned to the ring and knocked out professional boxer Andre August in the first round with a vicious uppercut.

Riley (10-0, 6 KOs), who holds the English title and competes at cruiserweight, helped train KSI for his boxing matches. He also has a strong social media presence.

https://www.boxingscene.com/jake-paul-open-idea-future-fight-with-viddal-riley--180104

So this guy is a pro and campaigns at CW, I think this weight class is good for Paul though, he can easily make this weight. Not sure who Riley though as it's obvious he is a local British champion. But let's see if this is the fighter that Paul wants as he slowly into fighting pro fighters to boost his record and maybe one day become a champion.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers should not believe in first game win trap on: December 19, 2023, 08:28:36 AM
First time winning is indeed a trap. Once a friend introduced me to a gambling site that pays. At first I was reluctant to try it out but after some time I decided to give it a trial. During the first round of the game, I won   Grin, what a motivation to put in more effort! I tried my luck again the second time, I lost. The loss didn't stop me from playing further,  infact I became even more serious and I lost them all. I believed if I could win during the first round,  then it is possible for me to win again but a second, third and even fourth winning never seemed to show up again, instead I kept losing money, I was trapped! It got to a point I had to call myself to order for I have lost more than enough.

A win is a big driving force, especially when it occurs during your first time of gambling or during the first round. It will trigger you to do more , more and more until you have nothing to gamble with anymore. No matter the outcome of your gamble, always stick to your budget or decision (If you had one before setting out to gamble), it will save you money and stress.
If you win once, you will be encouraged to play more for more luck, and you are lucky to have won the first time. The first time, a friend of mine selected the games and I was happy and expecting money to come because I was in school and had already calculated for that money, but there was no win so I just decided to leave it alone until I started seeing a lot of wins on Twitter, and I was encouraged to try my luck as well, but not recklessly and with serious caution. And there are people who, when they first start playing, they always win, and then they start losing, and by then they are used to winning, so it's a continuous automatic play for them, and before you know it, they are already drawn in, and gambling sometimes goes beyond what we expect. Playing the first time is what will sometimes determine how the gambling future of some people will be.

First time win/lose can't determine if the gambler will become addicted if he opted to continue to play. The question is, why he is still playing? Is it to have fun or to make money? Because if the latter is the reason and his main desire when playing, it can really lead to serious problem when he is blinded with his goal. Aside from recovering the losses, lack of discipline and self-control, the desperation to profit is often the cause why a gambler is becoming addicted. Hence, it's not about the first time experience but your mindset towards gambling to continue this activity.

It could be true, but for sure, when we started our gambling journey, we have experience this so called beginners luck. So what it do is just reinforce us to gamble for more after the taste of your first win. And so others fell for it as they want to continue and replicate that experience.

So they try again and again until they've lost self-control already and turning into a gambling addict. So it's really a very dangerous and it could be a trap for the majority of us believing as the OP said, that we will go on and continue to win and win big, until it's too late.
614  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Bear Market over? on: December 18, 2023, 12:01:20 PM
You're right, sometimes not every kind of breaking news affect the market price, some would have thought about many things regarding this, but yet nothing changed than things were going as normal as being expected, i don't think the value of BNB would also be affected by any means, because what i first thought when I heard about the news was that the exchange will be affected with government regulations and this can cause any form of stoppage in any of their operations or services, but i discovered i was wrong also, this remaining days for 2023 is more for bullish.

Market can sometimes be effected by news but not all the time because previously there was a news about Elon musk that he sell all of his bitcoin which effected the price of bitcoin and it reduced to tha worth of 26k$ but again positive news were developed which totally altered the Bitcoin's value and it touched 44k$. So if bitcoin can be effected by news then its simple that other type of coin like BNB will also be influenced by it.

All the time it is not effected and also the effect on btc is for short time and again it takes positive turn to give benefit to its holders. New effects in the way that people often work according to news so bitcoin demand increases so greater the demand greater will be its worthiness. Now a days you will be familiar that news about halving is spreaded all over the world which elevates the demand and directly there is surge in Bitcoin's cost.

Every negative news has different effects in the market, just like what you mentioned about years ago when there was news that Elon Musk or at least his company sold his Bitcoin and the market reacted by selling and there was a massive decline.

But recently, there was also a negative news about CZ and his Binance and billions and penalty. But the market didn't react to that news and instead the price remain steady and then a few bumps to $44,000. So it's really up to the sentiments of the market, whether we will reacting negatively and a lot of investors selling or the emotions are just in a straight line, no reaction whatsoever.
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Andre August - December 15th in Florida on: December 18, 2023, 11:26:23 AM
Jake Paul made light work of this fight, easy KO in the 1st round.

He’s targeting a World Title according to Sky Sports - https://www.skysports.com/amp/boxing/news/12040/13031495/jake-paul-sets-sights-on-world-title-after-first-round-knockout-victory-over-andre-august-in-florida

He's done nothing to deserve a world title fight. This fight was apparently sanctioned by the WBA, who awarded him with a medal after his win. These organizations are so scummy and corrupt that they just might let him skip to the front of the line just so they can get their percentage from his purse. Both, the WBA and WBC, recently started recognizing the bridgerweight division. This division would be the easiest path for Jake to become a paper champion since the weight class has no credible contenders, just a few washed up cruiserweights and small heavyweights.

Of course, he doesn't deserved a shot at a world title, but as you have said, money talks in boxing right now as it is a business. And this corrupt organizations are more willing to get paid. So Paul can either be on that division, CW, Bridgeweight or even HW. But it could be the same exhibition fights, although he might fight boxers who are not in the top 10 so it will be easier path for him.

And as long as there was fans willing to watch this hype job, it will continue. And Jake has established a business model that he is making millions in every fight. And I do agree that he is like tricking or hacking the system to become a champion.
616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 18, 2023, 10:25:41 AM
<> because the blows are very strong and that's really what makes him do those knockouts.

This is 100% accurate. As a fan of boxing who watched most of Inoue's fight, his jabs are really strong, it can intimidate his opponent, not only very strong but quick as well, that's why it's hard to expect an upset when Tapales does not possess the power and speed like Inoue to match the Japanese champion.

The most awaited fight will be coming soon, less than 2 weeks and we will finally see this one. I believe it's not gonna be boring, but I also believe it's not gonna be long because Tapales is confident also to beat Inoue, hopefully he won't change his tone once already in the ring.

After Pacquiao, it's Inoue who got that similar strategy, throwing punches that his opponent really being surprise as it was solid and in a quick manner, without that anticipation you'll just fall down and suffer into a KO, though both are champs and both have that recordings to study against each other strategy, but still the momentum and most fans if not all expect that Inoue will continue his dominance.

It seems though that many fighters have been motivated to be like Manny, just like Michael Jordan in the NBA. Manny put boxing into another perspective with his style and always go for the KO or wanted to please his fans with his every fight.

I also hope that Tapale's confidence will continue, and that tone will convert to a fighting strategy that will keep him standing and give the fans who bet on him the winning chance that they believe he possess.

I think there's no question on Tapales, confidence, he is very much motivated to win against Inoue no matter what the fans say or if the odds is pretty much stack against him. He will fight and try his best in the ring with Inoue. If he falls short, then nothing to be ashamed of as he really bring his A-game but it was not enough to beat the Monster.
617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney (9th of December) on: December 18, 2023, 07:58:42 AM
^^ We will give props to Teo Lopez if he is willing to fight Matias and for the unification. I will say Matias could be one to be avoided in this division, yes he is a champion but his power is scary and he is the odd man out. So for Lopez is targeting him then he has the balls. And most likely though Lopez is going to be the A-side in this fight and maybe what 70-30 split. I think it will be good for Matias to get that kind of money and it could be his biggest paycheck. As for Garcia vs Paro, still good fight as well, maybe GBP is still trying to build up Ryan in his division very slowly, so careful match-making from them. They don't want Ryan to go against Haney or even Lopez yet, they need to built his hype again before chasing for the belt fight.

Perhaps he has seen loophole on Matias, Subriel doesn't move that much and most likely his father saw this weakness on Matias so they think it's going to be an easy target for them. But for Haney, I don't think that they have Matias on their mind. Most likely, they will go for either Ryan Garcia (if GBP is willing and not protect Garcia), or Lopez himself.

Or if the back and forth between the Haney's and the camp of Tank Davis will materialized, then we will see Davis going up to 140 lbs but with no clauses on the contract as per the Haney's.

Now, there are lots of great boxers that are interested in fight with Haney. Yeah, he's moving up and I think he's enjoying it, first attempt and he already became a champion, I think it's best for him to unify all the belts in the division he is now. Well, if Davis is willing to fight Haney, that's an excemption, I mean that should be prioritize as that's big money, bigger than a championship fight is not going to be.

Everyone is interested because Haney had the belt now in 140 lbs, this 4 though should have fought in the 135 lbs, Lopez, Haney, Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis. But we were deprived of it as the 3 of them have move up and we also saw Ryan vs Tank Davis. Although Davis won, but we think that he weight drain Ryan Garcia that's why he look very weak in that fight.

Davis, Ryan Garcia (easy), and Loma, these are the three boxers I like to see Haney fight. I know it will be a rematch for Loma but that was controversial, I guess if Haney wants to cement his legacy, he should give Loma another chance and beat him convincingly so fans will stop doubting him.

Loma vs Haney? They fought already and Haney won, although it's controversial as others saw that Loma might have won the second stretch of the fight. Not sure though that Haney will fight Loma again, he is no longer interested at a rematch. Loma will be at a disadvantage at 140 lbs as he will be too small. It will be Haney vs the rest of the champion and then Davis when he decided to go up at 140 lbs.

I am surprised that the predictions did not contain controversial news such as fees issues, platform bankruptcy, country ban, country accepting Bitcoin, a company buying Bitcoin and other news that directly or indirectly indicates the price.
All predictions are made according to the current price of Bitcoin, and it can easily be expected that the news will be positive or negative, but the truth requires a deeper look at the market.

Perhaps they don't want to stir controversial specially about the fees as we could anticipate that in the next bull run, it will be like 2017 high tx fees again, but this time, 2025 might be huge in terms of fees, more than what we are seeing right now.

But as far as those predictions by Bitwise, some of us already had that in mine, like new all time high, ETF approval/s.

We will just have to wait and see how everything will go on the next bull run, specially how far can we go in terms of price and new all time high.

Hey guys,

i need some help, or some advise from you.
My dad got scamed into investing alot of money in Crypto.

He downloaded an App called UFJPRO. Has someone heard about it?
He invested around 100k into that App. I always told him, he shouldnt trust someone, he met online.
Now he finaly wants to get the crypto, or money out of there, but they wont let him.
They force him to pay 10k service charge.

Is that legit? I cant believe, they give him the Money, after he pays the money.

Does anyone have a tipp, or experience with that?

Sorry for my bad English, i am not a native speaker Sad

Kind regards
Diovan

Unfortunately, we haven't heard of that App, I did try to search for it though, and it seems it was a trading app. So your dad meet someone in the online world and ask him to download this app? It seems that is already a classic scam trick.

Not to burst the bubble for you, but this is very similar trick to a romance or dating scam.

And there's no way that you your dad can get his money back, sorry to tell you that.

^^ We will give props to Teo Lopez if he is willing to fight Matias and for the unification. I will say Matias could be one to be avoided in this division, yes he is a champion but his power is scary and he is the odd man out. So for Lopez is targeting him then he has the balls. And most likely though Lopez is going to be the A-side in this fight and maybe what 70-30 split. I think it will be good for Matias to get that kind of money and it could be his biggest paycheck. As for Garcia vs Paro, still good fight as well, maybe GBP is still trying to build up Ryan in his division very slowly, so careful match-making from them. They don't want Ryan to go against Haney or even Lopez yet, they need to built his hype again before chasing for the belt fight.

Perhaps he has seen loophole on Matias, Subriel doesn't move that much and most likely his father saw this weakness on Matias so they think it's going to be an easy target for them. But for Haney, I don't think that they have Matias on their mind. Most likely, they will go for either Ryan Garcia (if GBP is willing and not protect Garcia), or Lopez himself.

Or if the back and forth between the Haney's and the camp of Tank Davis will materialized, then we will see Davis going up to 140 lbs but with no clauses on the contract as per the Haney's.
