I'll save everyone's time, here is August boxrec: https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/651075 Obviously, he is not that active that's why we haven't heard anything from him and he is also age 35. So I guess this is going to be an easy fight for Paul even though this dude is professional boxer and fought at Cruiser weight. And we will see how Jake Paul is going to hype this fight. Although we have here the co-founder of their company already promoting this fight.  "...He's [Paul] once again doing what very few of the best and biggest boxers in the world have done in their ninth professional fight --- fighting someone with a better record and experience.

Hello Community,
I have 1500$ and i want to invest it crypto as holdings. What do us suggest invest it all on BTC or alts? Thanks
I think majority here, if we have that kind of money will invest on BTC. I mean it's the safe best, at least from my experience point of view. I had invested on alts before, but it didn't turn out good in my end. Maybe I was carried by the altcoin market hype before, and might have push for some meme or shit coins. But to avoid that kind of FOMO and of course, not losing money, it will be better to go with BTC all in. This is not a investment advise though, you still have to make the final decision. However, I think majority here might agree with me that Bitcoin is better than anything else. |

Writing about bitcoin and bitcoin forums may never end.
[..snip..]
I am very happy to invest in bitcoin and connect with bitcoin forum.
Congrats to your wedding and obviously with your bitcoin investment. Yes, majority of us here are investing because of the potential profits, in your case though, it's just short term. And if ever I will give advise to someone specially on how they should look, go for long term. There's nothing more satisfactory seeing the price of bitcoin at least in the 6 digits in the next bull run and obviously look at the big profits. Nevertheless, we can't blame you for selling some of your stash as you have needed some money for your special and momentous day. But if by chance you come back and re-invest again, look for the long term or at least see how the next bull run will be in 2024-2025. |

Garcia like Tank Davis said has poor boxing technics and I have to agree with that, Garcia is almost like the popular YouTubers who are turning to be boxers the only difference is that Garcia has a very strong left hook aside that his boxing game is poor.
I think he is a professional boxer first, before his social media successful. And I think it's the cause and effect of it, at a very young age he was a good boxer and so he has a lot of fans. And then him exposing more of himself in the social media, make him even more famous and create big hype. And as a result although he has lost against Tank Davis, there fight is the biggest fight for this year, generating 20++ millions in PPV alone. I don't know much about Oscar Duarte but I think he is also atmost an average boxer and Garcia even with his poor Technics should be able to put him away with a strong left hook that connects well.
In paper he seems to be a good boxer, with a high percentage of knockouts. And I would compare him to Luke Campbell whom Ryan face before, good boxer and has a decent power and then Ryan was caught experiencing his first knock down. So I think in the beginning it will be very difficult for Ryan but once he got his rhythm and landed his left hook he could win by a KO. |

It will reach $40,000 for sure and will also follow a quick drop off to $32k which will act as support this time, instead of any resistance, so, in short, yes, Bitcoin is going to hold the Target prices and soon it will be breaking the previous All-Time High, right after Bitcoin Halving in 2024. If you have money available, you should focus on buying Bitcoin and HODLing as these prices will never be available again in the future.
Yes, thanks I mean we all know how bitcoin prices moved, but I was surprised about your prediction that the price will move to $32k first before moving to $40k. For me, my speculation is that the price might continue to move on to $40k without dropping to any support line. But let's see, it's very exciting to see how the price will go prior to the bitcoin halving. Everyone is anticipating a huge rally before halving though. Others see that the pre-halving the price might be $50k and then we will go an move on a massive bull run in the next two years, 2024-2025 and go six figures. We wait then, and I guess everyone is in unison that we will get to $40k, just a matter on how and when. |

Praograis @3.65 is of interest to me.
He was the defending champion, correct? It seems like a significant underestimation by the bookies, making him a heavy underdog despite holding the belt. There's no doubt that Haney is a talented fighter, but it would be more respectful to the champion to offer odds not higher than 3. Nevertheless, this is gambling, so if we trust Prograis to win, we should view it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bookies might have the last fight of Inoue as reference on this odds. Just like Haney, Inoue is an undisputed champion of lower weight category and fought the bigger Fulton and won the fight. Aside from that probably the bookies is also considering the age gap of the two boxer where Haney is 10 years younger than Prograis. Prograis at 34 is almost at the end of his peak so bookies might be thinking that Prograis performance is in a decline reason why Haney is the favorite even thought Prograis is holding the belt. 34 seems a prime year still. bookies rarely make mistakes in providing odds but if you are a very fan of Regis, you gonna be happy with those odds. my guess is that Haney will outbox Prograis but will survive til the last rounds and it will be UD by Haney. and it could be the other way around too since Haney struggles to fight with southpaw boxers and Prograis is a southpaw. The fight will be unpredictable but I will also be rooting for Prograis over Haney. This is a bold fight for Haney going up to straight away going for the champ but was he avoiding Shakur? Yeah, they seldom make mistakes when they list the odds, and I think those odds makers have a lot of experience and they take into account like the fights and the resumes of this fighters before putting their odds. So there might not be a surprised to see the power punching Regis Prograis as somewhat the underdog against Devin Haney. But you can't take away the fact the Regis is a champion in this division and Haney is the one moving up in weight. Regis is a very live underdog here, so if you are a fan of him, why not put some money in him. He is still in his prime and his only lost is against the former unified champion at 140 lbs in Josh Taylor. But Josh lost all the belt now and Regis got one and so if you look at it, might be a blessing for Regis to lost that fight as it did good for his career as he gain a lot of experience from his first L. |

It looks like the Dame Lillard move to the Bucks doesn't go well early this season. They had way better defensive and offensive ranking last season with Jrue Holiday in the roster.
Dame is one of the worse defender, but he could be an offensive weapon, but it has not translated to their current standing yet. It's kind of interesting because Jrue Holiday has the best offensive rating and the best team currently. Let's who really wins this trade lol.
And that is the risk that the Bucks has taken, I mean for sure the management knows the potential downside of the trade, losing their best defender and then another one in Grayson Allen. And after the first game, it looks like the Bucks has gotten their money's worth with the trade as he carry the team against a very tough Sixers that time. But after that game, they have struggled even in their own home court. Seems that we will have a good game at hand, Knicks vs LA Clippers and then Lakers vs the Heat. Steph is putting up a show with 19 points in 9 minutes in the second quarter. But they are having a tough games against the Pistons. |

I don't know though, but it seems that there are no trash talking so far leading up to the fight. On the contrary, even Benavidez Sr is giving all praises to Demetrius Andrade as one if not the best fighter that his son is going to praise. A Olympian and held belts in 154 lbs and 160 lbs.
I think the target though of the Benavidez is Canelo Alvarez. But we will see, hopefully if they win here, Canelo might give him the title shot that they wanted for so long as it seems that Canelo is avoiding them and just hiding on the reasons of Alvarez doesn't want to fight another Mexican.

It is a very natural thing to bet and hope for luck, although it is still not certain whether someone will really be lucky. Because people who bet without expecting to win or get lucky are just people who are having fun with gambling, so it wouldn't be strange if someone who bets doesn't want to tell other people about their luck. Because this kind of thing can actually be done by anyone who has the courage and ability individually without having to depend on other people.
Exactly, it's not like you have control on how the team that you're betting on will perform, your control stopped when you've locked it in and now it all relies on the skills of the team you've put your bet on. To be honest, most betting should be easy especially if you just bet on the one with the lowest odds, it's common sense that betting sites will put lower odds on the teams that's likely to win so why not just go with your common sense and secure an easy win?It's never an easy win. Less than a year ago there was a case when a guy bet $1 million in USD on a team that had 1.01 odds, meaning it should have won almost certainly, right? He thought it was easy to win $10k with that. And the team didn't win, and he lost his entire million. I can't even imagine how much money won those who bet in the outsider, but my point is, even with 1.01 odds you can lose sometimes. Yes, I remember that thread about someone betting at 1.01 and thinks it's a sure win, unfortunately it's not. But then we have seen someone also bet on a parlay with just small amount and the odds are like 100x or higher and then won that bet. And we have lightning roulette or even the crazy times game by Evolution wherein you can win as high as 1000x if I'm not mistaken. So it's not that easy to win that huge amount and it will take big risk on your end. Others doesn't want to go that route of beating $1 million with a odds of 1.01 because the chances to lose that big is still there. |

This is ridiculous, loosing upto this amount is much, i don' think that I can afford to have something as big as this for gambling when am quite aware that i can loose everything at once if the game didn't come as expected, though there have been other bets that amount to higher figure than this, mine has been within the range of hundred dollars downwards because i don't use much money on gambling like that, be it land base casino or online gambling casino, i make sire to spend moderately base on what i can afford to loose.
Some people can throw away tens of millions without caring because they have such large wealth. To a Billionaire, a 200k bet is worth absolutely nothing. For us it would be like throwing away 2 dollars. Sure, its money but its not life-changing amounts or even amounts worth crying over. I do suspect OP to be lying because he did not provide any proof. If he really did lose 200k on stake then he should have the proof to back that up. Otherwise its just bragging about something untrue. Hard to say whether rich people have gambling problems, but they are only human... If the OP is in fact rich then despite the fact this amount of money could be small for them it is still a good idea for them to change their behavior, as they stated they lost that amount in a single session, and regardless of how rich a person could be if they keep gambling and losing their money at that rate they will lose 1.4 millions in a single week and 72.8 millions in a year, and only billionaires could endure losing so much money so fast. It's really hard though even for rich person to stop there gambling addiction. Perhaps because in the first place they have a lot of money to burn just like the OP here and which some of us just imagine to spend that kind of money in gambling. Because for the majority of us, it's a big money that can change our lives for the better, so instead of putting in in gambling, maybe we can just a home for our family. But in any case, I do believed that even if you have a lot of money, sooner or later if you really that rich and you make a lot of money, that it's better to stop this habit. It might be better if you will just reinvest that kind of money and not just spent it on gambling. |

And another great escape by the Warriors against OKC. It was a back and forth changes of the lead in the last 2 minutes. But this time it was Steph Curry who hit the winner basketball and just like Klay Thompson in their last game he left some 0.2 seconds left wherein the other teams can't score with that much time.
I thought that the Warriors are going to win though, but the OKC team, makes a great comeback, if only Dort could have hit that 1 free throw, they could be a tied game and it might change the complexion and could go into OT. Nevertheless, Curry drive with a lay-up to win by just 1 point.

What if the price of Bitcoin gives us something very weak, like the expectations of the up coming halving let's say we're expecting a higher price and by next year we start seeing Bitcoin price dropping very fast to maybe $30k or $28k?
You just need to look at bitcoin's past historical logs though, because if the pattern continues in the next 3 months or at least at the end of the year, we could be seeing like $40k-$45k range. So with that, I'm not expecting a drop to $28k-$30k. We shouldn't have too much hope on the coming halving, like is suppose to be but what if things doesn't go as expected?
$35k is really difficult to stay more than a day and it got me thinking that this first week of November won't give anything more than what we're seeing at the moment.
Again, I don't know how many halvings have you witnessed or experienced already. But in the last 2 halving, yeah it didn't go as expected, meaning the price really took off just like in 2017. Although there is a big expectations about 6 digits in the last bull run because of some price modelling, but still at $69k? that is already huge specially that we are coming from a lows of $3k price during the pandemic. |

I am thinking to start betting on sports because I think it is fair then other games and there I should be able to control my hands which I could control while playing games like dice, plinko, mines, etc.
I want to know how can i start betting on sports and start making good profits, I am asking this type of question because i have no knowledge about any sports or players.
please give me some tips, strategy, resources to getting started.
do not reply with suggesting good platforms to bet on, I already know reputed platforms to bet.
The only problem I see here for you is that if you are not a fan of sports. I mean what kind of games you want to bet? basketball? football? Do you follow this sports? If not then if might be difficult for you in the beginning, as you might get confused on the betting line itself. Although there are a lot of threads here and members giving out their tips, but for me to be able to win, at least know the teams and the sports that you are betting. But if you are a big fan of sports that you want to bet, then simply follow the threads here because there's a ton already. |

If they continue to argue over even minor matters like this, it would become clear that they're just complicating things to make excuses, much like Inoue's previous opponent, Fulton.
I recall this situation. Fulton's camp had many requests before the fight, and Inoue's team managed to fulfill them. However, the result was as expected. Fulton didn't come to fight; he came to survive and attempt to earn points, thinking the judges would favor him since he was the defending champion. But Inoue's relentless attacks finally caught up with Fulton, leading to a knockout and the end of his undefeated record. Yes, definitely Fulton camp is very confident coming in the fight, but for added insurance, they have to request a lot of things in their favor against Inoue and they all have been honored by the Japanese. However, it doesn't matter to Inoue as he believed more on his talent that have this kind of advantage. And from round 1, we have seen the Fulton when he felt the power of Inoue was very different. He doesn't want to fight but just to survived in every round and thinks that he can score in the judges scorecard. But as you have said, he didn't even put a dent on Inoue, maybe he had 1 or 2 good rounds and hit Inoue flush, but Inoue was too good as he has a good chin as well. Hopefully, Tapales is going to be different and he will fight to try and win. Comparing Tapales' record to Fulton's, I can see that Fulton has a pretty good record. But look at what Inoue did to him. So, it's hard to expect a big upset, but I appreciate Tapales' confidence in saying he'll be Inoue's nightmare. Yeah, you might be right with that comparison, but I don't think that boxers are going to be the same. They are only good as in their last fight. Fulton might come to fight, but he might have underestimate Inoue and think that he can beat with with his sheer size and technical skills. I think Tapales needs to take some risks in this fight. He can't fight like Fulton; he needs to be more competitive and find ways to hurt Inoue. Otherwise, he might lose his confidence once Inoue starts controlling the fight.
Maybe, will depends on the strategy of his trainer. But definitely we wanted to see him take the risk just being the aggressive in the first half of the fight and see how Inoue will react. Just do everything to throw off Inoue so that he can't execute his game plan. And I wanted Tapales to go and try to win by a knockout because I don't think that he can win in the judges scorecard in Japan. |

It's interesting to see that post-Harden Philadelphia is doing well with a great start. They are currently 3-1 with their only defeat against the Bucks on the road whom they only trailed by a point.
Yes mate, I thought that they are going to collapse because of the drama, but I guess they put everything behind it and wanted to start fresh just like when they have the Ben Simmons noise. Some of them have grow as well and this team is laden with talents starting Joel and he should assert himself as the leader of the Sixers. The Pelicans once again are playing strong especially if they are complete. But while the season just started, Zion was rested against the Pistons today. So it seems like there is something wrong with his physical condition once again. It will be very sad if he suffers another season-ending injury. And this season starts Zion's nearly $200 million 5-year contract.
I haven't watch the game, maybe it was just a precautions for the team to sit and rest him. As you have said, they don't want to start the season when Zion will get injured and then it's going to be late when he comes back as they are no longer in the contention for a playoff stop. So maybe there's nothing wrong with him, but trying to get away with the minute restrictions. |

And the honest part of this is that it is not still late to Invest on Bitcoin as long it does not lost its values and you are liable to invest with whatever amount you can afford but orderly as time goes up to date, the price of Bitcoin is being threats to common man who is yet to Invest in the Coin because if you watch at todays, the variable of Bitcoin in the markets is kinda aching.
Just like in today's time, if we have to look at it, maybe others think that we are in the bull run already and it's not the best time to invest or at least we are all late because we wanted to invest like the lowest low for this year at $15,500. Nevertheless, if you look at it, there are still more time before the halving and even at the initial onset of a bull run, we can still accumulate. The goal to invest is to make profits but the periodic table of Bitcoin today is not encouraging for upcoming investors but one thing is sure that the volatility of Bitcoin has every tendencies to profer profits as long you have the ability to exercise patient with the deeds of a long term investments.
So... If you feels regrets of not investing since 2018 or so, bet if you don't take part to invest at today, you would still have other times to regret why you did not invest at 2023 or so.
Obviously that is the goal to make profits, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It will take a lot of patients for us investors to hold and accumulate. Specially for those first timers in this market, it will take some mental toughness to go to this phase. But once you master it, it's easy to invest and doing DCA for a long time or at least maybe in the next 6 months. |

Do you track bulk Bitcoin transactions being carried out by whales?
No, doesn't make sense to me to track those movements. Do you feel it has good impact on Bitcoin prices and a regular trader can benefit from this data.
If there is some impact, I think it's going to be bad. If you are a newbie here and you see reports that X amount of bitcoin has been moved from wallet A to wallet b, what do you feel? Exactly, it might create FUD to them. And that's the main reason why I don't see the any benefits at all with this kind of X (Twitter) account who has notifications because it might create a wrong signal to the market. So for those newbies out there, it's better to just stay grounded and don't complicate things on your end by reading too much news here as 90% of it are not even verifiable by the authors themselves. Just learn how to read between the lines and don't overthink it. |

A gambling addict knows no boundaries. Meanwhile, a successful gambler knows his limitations and follows it so things won't go wrong. Overspending and allotting so much time just to bet and play without proper direction in mind and assessment of the risks are most commonly done by gambling addicts. They do not really care much about the repercussions and rather continue to play and bet as much as they like. They disregard thinking about the trajectory of their gameplays and just continuously chase winnings after winnings or losses. And that's a whole lot different to those people who have plans and strategies to be successful.
Successful gamblers know when to stop and when to quit. Taking a break is never a sign of defeat. Sometimes you just really have to reflect on the things that you did - what went wrong or how you can do better, so that the next time around, you'll be achieving what you want.
Basically, in some way successful gamblers are quite the opposite of what gambling addicts are. Successful gamblers mostly strategize and limits their bets to minimize loses and maximizing odds for it to be on their favor which is the reason as to why they are successful on their gambling endeavors. But just as successful gamblers are, gambling addicts can also be as responsible as successful gambler however they lack the strategy to maximize their profit and continue gambling even with continuous loses. It could be, but it's really hard to define successful gamblers I mean it is still gambling per se and it's very hard to live like that to the rest of your life. And if this is the way to give food in the table for your money, then something is wrong in my opinion. Of course we can't take that away from someone who thinks that gambling is a way of life and individuals are very difficult. But it's very hard to be a successful gambler, even pro poker, at some point in their gambling activity could have lost significant amount of money already and we only see them as winning maybe in TV. But what about when they are starting? they could have been struggling up to this point in their life. |

I saw young Lebron James last night. Lebron James played a very good game. It was a very enjoyable game, just like the old days.
It looks like it will be an enjoyable season this year.
It was a great game, as players from both teams performed surprisingly well. For the Clippers, George scored 35 points, Leonard scored 38 points, and Westbrook almost had a triple-double, while for the Lakers, LeBron scored 35 points, Davis and Russell 27 points each, and Wood had a double-double. As for LeBron's performance, I'm still impressed with the fact that he can still dominate the court and still hasn't lost motivation like some other players his age. True, as expected, this teams are loaded with superstars and we can see that both performed very well, Kahwi and PG (unfortunately, he fouled out), and Lebron and AD For the Lakers. But in the end it was the Lakers who prevail in this game. Still shows that Lebron can still play a lot of minutes in OT win. And the acquisition of Wood is really paying dividends for the Lakers now. But we will still have to see the debut of James Harden as a Clippers. For sure fans are waiting for him and he might be ready the next game. Also exciting game is the Warriors winning with Klay's shot at the buzzer. |
