Same here, I've only heard of it, but I'm not so familiar with how to use it.

May I suggest that if Bitcoin's transaction fees are too high, maybe we can make this campaign a bi-weekly or monthly payout to save on fees.
602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: November 09, 2023, 01:47:12 PM
Before Usyk entered the scene, Wilder was considered Fury's toughest opponent. In fact, many believed Wilder would win the fight, and he was the heavy favorite on sports betting sites. Wilder was -160 in the first fight and -125 in the second one. He was actually the underdog in their last bout, and he lost because Fury had figured out how to beat him. Although Fury had already defeated Wilder in their rematch, the last fight was a pretty dominant win for him.

Fury should not have a rematch with Ngannou, that is now in the past. Fury should be focused on trying to fight Usyk and trying to unify the belts to become the undisputed heavyweight champion (either that or Usyk will). He seemed to be on a decline after the highs of beating Wilder because he has been fighting boxers he was head and shoulders better than therefore a fight against Usyk just might make Fury elevate his game and enjoy boxing again.
Even though Fury won in a split decision, I dont think there should be a rematch. The problem was not because Ngannou is so good and can fight with champions on equal level, but simply because Fury underestimated him. If they would have a rematch I dont think that Fury is going to be so passive and slow.

I guess during that live event there are gamblers who thinks  that converged can still catch up and snatched the game, but it didn't happen as blackwater secure their first win in this season.

I guess they didn't understand that Converge already go their key players (Ahanmisi and Teng), so this team now is not the same anymore, they lose to Blackwater who is one of the worse team in the PBA, that's a bad sign that they don't have a good future waiting for them, eventually this team will be sold again as the owner/s are not willing to invest on quality players.

I don't think that they will sell the franchise, they lose because in basketball there players who got an off night and for sure they will bounce back, besides they are still adjusting to their new players, the chemistry is not there yet but eventually everything will be fine. Its just that Blackwater was lucky that almost everything they threw, went in. Just a note that Converge hired Willie Miller as one of their assistant coach so they are serious in their campaign in the PBA.

I believe the days are long gone when teams not owned by SMB and TNT could compete at a high level. The thing is, these big teams like SMB and TNT can afford to pay top players attractive salaries, which often leaves the smaller teams with more mediocre players. As a result, their chances of winning don't stack up as well against teams composed of superstars.

Take SMB, for example. We can see that they've gathered players who were previously leading their former teams, including names like Romeo, Jeron Teng, Jericho Cruz, Perez, CJ, and Vic Manuel.

Games for tomorrow:

Dyip vs NorthPort (4:00 PM)
NLEX vs Phoenix (8:00 PM)

No odds yets, let's yet tomorrow for that.

Yes, odds aren't available yet but i'm guessing, Northport and NLEX would be the favorites to win in their respective games.

No Draymond tonight for the Warriors as they take on the Denver Nuggets. Given the already large size difference between the teams I think this will be problematic for the Warriors. Jokic should have himself quite a night. Draymond isn’t injured or anything as he’s listed as being out for personal reasons. Still, the Nuggets should easily get this win. We’ll see…
Oh ok, I thought that he will be playing and be the main main to contained Jokic. So it will be in the hands of Saric and Looney and so Jokic could have a easy time posting and then showing his skills in passing. Although he has to play defense specially in Saric as he can shoot the ball.

I guess for others a 1.63 ML will be a good bet already for the Nuggets.

You just have to put some decent money on them without thinking what will be the handicap. Although for those interested, it's not bad as well, +/-1.5.
I just decided just to go with the ML on the Nuggets. They didn't disappoint me, but the games is really very close it's that the Warriors doesn't have enough time and although Klay has the ball time did run out as he made a fumble.
With only 3 seconds left in the game and no timeouts for the Warriors, it was tough to take a shot because they didn't plan the play carefully. They don't necessarily have to be in that situation all the time. It would be better if they played stronger from the beginning so they aren't constantly playing catch-up and only giving their all when time is running out.

Anyway, it was still a good game. The Warriors showed their competitiveness, and I believe they could give the Nuggets a tough series if they meet in the playoffs.

Nevertheless, the line up of Warriors still looks solid despite their age and their experience really carry them in this game against the Nuggets. And this is the toughest games for the Nuggets in my opinion. Games are not decided until the last seconds.

So congrats on those who ride on the Nuggets win, it's worth it.

I guess most of the bettors take the spread since Nuggets are really good at home, so they lose their bet because of that +0.5 the Warriors have.

Murray is lucky to have a good team as they are still winnign despite him resting due to injury.
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: November 09, 2023, 06:52:42 AM
But I don't know, maybe the tax calculation for gamblers is different from one country to another.

By the way, we are talking about the honest persons who will declare all the winnings income from the gambling site and willing to pay the taxes.
However majority of the gamblers will hide the gambling income as the the government cannot check the money stored on the gambling sites. Some gambler may keep the money at the year end on the gambling site and once the tax paying period is over they may cash our and bring the gambling income to their accounts.

In case of crypto, they may not convert to fiat and keep them in their bitcoin/altcoins wallets or in the form of USDT where again the government has no access to verify anything.

That assumption might not be accurate. If the gambling site cooperates, the government could indeed find out how much we're holding, especially if they are regulated by our government. However, if they don't cooperate, there's no way the government can know. But when you cash out to fiat, you might face questions about the source of your funds since local exchanges are regulated by them.

So, it's a good idea to be prepared for that. You really need to be savvy to avoid taxes on gambling. Just because the government isn't currently keeping a close eye on things doesn't mean we're in the clear when it comes to tax obligations. That's not how it works.

AJ seems a good opportunity for Francis. He has been shutting up opportunities for him to make big money and chase a lost fight. It doesn't matter whether he gets a rematch or not, he proved himself that he can fight in boxing that's the very point of him getting out of UFC.  So right now he is willing to wait while Fury will just lay around with his 50M and if he won't fight up to 5 years, Francis will just waste his only years left.
Fury won't relax for that long, he is used to making big bucks in boxing, so he'll maximize the opportunity to make more money while he is still on his prime. He might not fight Francis soon but he would sure get bigger fights especially if he'll beat Usyk.

With the controversial decision, I don't think Fury will ever give him the rematch, Fury will just laugh at him. I thought it was fixed already that he will be fighting this Dec with either AJ or Wilder.

There's no fix decision yet, all of what we read could only be rumors, Usyk isn't 100% yet and Fury probably on the healing period now.

AJ vs Wilder, I think they could fight as they haven't been busy lately, but the unification is going to be next year for Usyk and Fury.

Wembanyama has been having a tough time lately, especially after that fantastic performance against the Suns earlier this season. They've been on a losing streak with big margins, and today, they fell to the Knicks with a 21-point deficit. Wembanyama only managed to score 14 points, which is a disappointing 28.5% shooting percentage. Coach Pop really needs to figure things out; the trend is starting to look pretty concerning. Could it be that Wembanyama's weaknesses are getting exposed?

The chart explains everything, thank you for simplifying it.

I believe that Bitcoin will surge after the halving. It aligns with the cycle, indicating the next bull run should occur by 2025 or next year. We shouldn't go against this trend. The best strategy to make decent profits is to keep accumulating and hold onto the asset until that time arrives.

If we decide to cash in on the profits after reaching a new ATH we should not hesitate, as eventually the market will likely start to correct, so we might need to wait another four years for the next high.

There is unfortunately nothing that make you a successful gambler unless you make more money than you lose and we all know this is impossible in gambling.

I would disagree with that. So, what is the point of people, especially in sports, risking huge sums of money? Some even bet millions of dollars because they are confident in their skills. Saying that winning in gambling is impossible is wrong. It's more accurate to say it's almost impossible, as there's only a slim chance of becoming financially successful in gambling.

Yes, some consider it as fun only, but you can't blame other people who are too ambitious in gambling, and I believe they know what they are doing. Those sports handicappers who are making a living in gambling are great at what they do.

Turns out the ROS and Meralco game has become a high-scoring one, LOL. I hope they'll continue shooting well, as I have my bet on the total range of 221-230 with x20 odds. If I win this (lucky), I'll have more funds to gamble tomorrow since there are plenty of NBA games available.
611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 07, 2023, 02:29:11 PM
I will go for Jason Tatum here due to the consistency he has shown in the last few games, plus that impressive 54% from beyond the arc. This is remarkable because he does not fully rely on 3-point shooting, which would indicate how complete a player he is. No disrespect to Curry, though, but the Warriors have been relying so much on him, unlike the Celtics where everyone has been moving the ball well. So, Tatum does not have the same burden as Curry.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 07, 2023, 01:40:06 PM
Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management.  Personally, I limit my bets to no more than 10 percent of my bankroll per day, I stop once that limit is reached.  Also don't get discouraged if variance comes in and you have a losing day, week, month, etc. Value is value and it will catch up.  Goodluck on your gambling journey.


You must be referring to a gambling called sports betting, because you can't use "finding value" on games that are purely based on luck. And yeah, bankroll management is very important as that would show how discipline we are as a bankroll, if we are good in managing the bankroll, the only factor that we need to consider next is finding value on match up, means we have to win more bets than we lose.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: November 06, 2023, 04:16:13 PM
Though no odds yet but i have my eye on Blackwater because Converge has lost their key players to SMC teams.

Isn't Blackwater like a farm team? Even though Converge released two key players, I still think they're a stronger team than Blackwater. So, I believe the quality of the imports on both teams will make a big difference. The team with the better import will likely win.


That's the rumor, but it doesn't matter much because we have imports that could make the team better. It would be different if it were an all-Filipino cup, as the most talented players are not in the farm team; they are already picked up by larger teams like SMB and TNT. Personally, I don't know who the imports are on these teams, so I might just wait and bet live, perhaps after the first quarter, to see which team has the better import.

I expect this game to be close, so I might consider taking the handicap for Blackwater because I think they'll be the underdog.

That would be a better strategy, and an interesting fact is that weaker teams often perform well in the early stages of the conference. So, the best chance to support them is during their first game.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 06, 2023, 03:16:10 PM
That was the initial report. He was listed as questionable, but he chose to play. If he had been reported as out, we wouldn't have expected him to play. Regardless, the outcome still didn't favor the Warriors.


There are also players out for Cavs so we can really see that its a off night for Warriors and that game against Cavs is a sort of wake up call that they should do more better.

But for sure in their next game they can possibly bounce back since Warriors especially Curry will don't want to get a back to back lose since it can lower down their morale as they want their team to be in good standings since they target to get a championship for their team and also to give the first ring to Chris Paul. Pistons seems to be fine opponent to them but they should never play cool since what happen to them with Cavs can possibly happen if they play cool around and take them as easy opponent.

The Warriors' loss doesn't diminish their morale, especially when playing against a playoff team like the Cavaliers. However, their next game will be against the Pistons, whose standing isn't strong, as they are ranked 13th in the East with a 2-5 win-loss record, so they have a good chance of winning here.

I wonder how effective this program is. Have there been any testimonies from addicted gamblers who were helped by your platform?

Good question, but it seems that this is just a new platform, so they might not have or maybe few gamblers have reach out to them. And if ever they have, the data is going to be fairly young. But I do hope that the OP will comeback for more data in the future.


Well, I didn't bother to explore more on the website yet, but as per OP they already have a community of +4400 members, so I pressume that it's already an established one as new platform does not easily get that big numbers.

Sometimes, we tend to overthink things. If we look at the history of the Bitcoin market, we see a simple pattern: the bear market and the bull market. It doesn't matter if people think a bear market or a price drop is coming because those are usually temporary. Eventually, the bull market returns, and people start to get excited, leading to FOMO and making the market more bullish.

This is free, as you mentioned, so I'm curious about its effectiveness. Gambling addiction is a serious issue and often requires expensive sessions to address. I appreciate the effort, though. I'll explore your website to gather more information, but I don't need help right now. Hopefully, I won't need it in the future.
618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]Adrien Broner vs Chris Howard (Welterweight) Nov 4. . on: November 02, 2023, 04:33:52 PM
There’s been a change in the schedule. The fight between Adrien Broner and Chris Howard, which was originally set for November 4th, has been moved to December 2nd. This fight is scheduled for 10 rounds in the Welterweight division.

I think Broner's ranking at 15 in the Welterweight division under WBC shows that he still has potential.

https://www.boxingscene.com/adrien-broner-vs-chris-howard-pushed-back-december-2--178511


I was curious because I thought the date hadn't changed. No wonder when I searched for the betting odds, I couldn't find any. The result was very obvious; the fight was moved a month from its original date. Thanks for the update.

To the OP, I have a suggestion. Why not change the date of the fight in your original post so that people won't get confused, like what happened to me?
619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: November 02, 2023, 03:33:22 PM

Coach Tim Come sees a potential at him and I'm sure he can help the team even if he is not the starting line up, he'll catch up for sure.

If he is part of the second unit, it would make Ginebra more dangerous as they would continue their production. Maverick can provide quality minutes to the team. This is his third team; his first was with Alaska, and the second was with Converge, which is essentially the same team but with a different name after being purchased by Converge. However, they had a different coach. This is his third team.

I believe Converge wouldn't have let him go if he hadn't demanded a high salary. But we know SMB is a wealthy company, so they can afford to have Maverick on the Ginebra team.

Their next game will be on November 6 on the road against the Knicks, so plenty of time for James Harden to practice with the team, and thats the time we can judge if the Clippers made the right decision getting Harden and letting some of their reliable players go.

The Knicks are having a good season so far, but we can't deny that the Clippers are a strong team. However, with James Harden making his debut, I find it tempting to bet on the home team because they've already shown good chemistry. As for James Harden, it remains to be seen if he'll meet the fans' expectations. I believe that creating perfect chemistry in a short period of time can be challenging. So, just in case James Harden doesn't perform well, at least it could lead to an easy win for the home team.
