It's interesting that in the undercard or co-main event, there will be Ugas vs Barrios for the WBC interim championship 147 lbs belt. Initially though it was supposedly Ugas vs Thurman, but unfortunately, Thurman again back out of the fight and so the man he beat will have the chance to get an interim belt.
And this is the first time that Ugas will fight after Spence f**k him up so bad more than a year ago to get the belt he won against Manny Pacquiao. And as per bookies, Ugas is 4:1 favorite here.
I think this fight might be good in the first couple of rounds, and then Ugas taking over with his boxing skills. For me Barrios is just a overballoon 147 lbs, no offfense to him, but this is a very tough weight class and it's very hard to survived if you don't have the power. So maybe in less than 10 rounds, Ugas might win with a KO or the corner of Barrios stopping the fight because of the damage that he is taking. And it's just weird that he is getting this kind of opportunity though by WBC and fight for the interim belt. But this 2 fighters are going to be just toyed by current champion in Crawford. I'm not sure about Ugas after his loss to Spence; perhaps he has become more predictable. Therefore, this fight is going to be interesting. Both boxers are coming off losses, so they'll be training hard to get back on the winning track. The good thing with Ugas is that he defeated Pacman, but you never know – what if Barrios pulls off a surprise? I personally believe that once a boxer loses in a championship fight, he is never the same boxer again. If I'm not mistaken, Barrios came from a win mate, against a relatively unknown Jovanie Santiago. So he might be in the momentum here against Ugas. I wouldn't say that Ugas is predictable, he had success early on Spence and almost knock him down with Spence lost focus. For Barrios, he had losses to Thurman, so I guess we can see that when he tries to step the competition, he somewhat looks very B level fighter as compare to Ugas who has fought and give better fights when he faces tough opponents. |

Casimero is aging fighter so chances for this fight to happen is so slim since he doesn't anything hold to get convince to fight Casimero. But if Casimero will get a championship belt where Inoue camp is interested to get then maybe we can see their match up to happen so he really need to win against Oguni and get win on more bigger matches to have good chance to provoke Inoue and make this fans dream fight to happen.
Casimero is 34 years old his last fight was not good I'm not saying that he is past his prime but he needs to have impressive fights to have good fights that are worth title contention, there are unpredicted that happen in boxing we just never know if Inoue's management decided to talk to Inoue's management to have a title fight before Inoue moved up of course this will happen after he beats Tapales. Inoue and Casimero both have Japanese managers and promotions so there's a possibility that this could happen, if Casimero knocks Oguni out Japanese boxing could demand Inoue to step in for revenge. Perhaps he might be in the borderline of losing his prime years already at age 34 years old. So everything depends on his this fight, I mean if he looks sharp and win by knockout, then we might say that he can still fight and pull that trigger. But if he can't and then won by a boring 12 rounds decision which also happens in his last fight in Manila, maybe he was already on the decline and he can't do anything if ever he will have to face Inoue in the future. So let's see how his performance against Oguni before we can make our conclusions. |

You've hit on a few truths there, but let's not sugarcoat it. Some people thinking they're smarter than the system. The key is: the house always has the edge. While I'm not here to hold anyone's hand, the idea of looking at gambling as a steady income is 100% stupid. But hey, if you can enjoy a game without going bankrupt, more power to you. For those who can't, a reality check is overdue. But really, find another way to make a living. Not everyone is meant for the gambling world
Those people are arrogant, they somehow believe that the math behind the games does not really apply to them, as if for some reason the odds of the games are going to change simply because they are the ones playing, and when that does not happen they refuse to accept the reality and blame the casino, their luck and anything and anyone they can, without ever admitting they are the main source of their problems, as their belief they can make money while gambling is not true. It's there mentality though, they think that can have crack the code or something and thought that they are smarter and win everytime they step up on the casinos. But after several tries, Lol, you can see on their face that their arrogant has gone and that they can't believed they lost and now starts the blaming game. Yeah, seen this to several players, that I know and even don't know inside a casinos and you can see and tell that they have attitude. And even if you advise them, they will just give you that weird look, very arrogant. |

Looking at the total market capitalization of more than 1 trillion USD, while the assets that FTX holds are only a few billion USD. Honestly, even if they sold them all at once it wouldn't cause any serious problems but it seems like someone is taking advantage of this news to manipulate market sentiment quite well. Panic is prevailing even though there has not been any official announcement about the sale of FTX's assets.
Personally, I really appreciate ETFs, it will cause bitcoin prices to skyrocket because demand will also increase thanks to ETFs. But that's also what I'm concerned about, ETFs won't be approved anytime soon because the government doesn't want people to use bitcoin and give up their bonds or fiat.
Couldn't agree more with you, mate. The market is being heavily-manipulated as we speak. Not only big investment companies are doing it, but also governments themselves (especially the US with the SEC). They want BTC to crash real hard to buy lots of coins at a discount. It's likely these entities are waiting for the BTC halving to occur, before "pumping" market prices all the way to the moon. If you're smart, you'd follow their footsteps by buying as much "cheap" BTC as possible. Sooner or later, Bitcoin will reach a price of $100k per coin. Even higher, if demand continues to soar at an unprecedented rate. I think the real trigger for a bullish market will be the swift recovery of the global economy. Central banks like "The FED" and the "ECB" need to stop raising interest rates for everything to get back to normal. At least, a new normal since the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic are still an on-going crisis. Who knows what the future holds for Bitcoin? Just my opinion  Well there is a new player https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-biz-paypal-rolls-out-crypto-ramps-franklin-templeton-joins-btc-etf-race-and-moreSo yeah, most likely there will be a reach as who will get the approval for a BTC Spot ETF and this could trigger the next bull run. I do agree about the interest rate and what is the US government is doing. Nevertheless, I do not think they have a huge impact in the next bull run. Remember that we even have Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 and yet we did see new all time high. So most likely, it will be the race for a BTC Spot ETF that will likely be the catalyst for 2024-2025 run. |

There is no scenario where they keep all their good players and still get Giannis. Mathematically, their contracts wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Warriors have 209 million dollars salary per year, that is by far first in the league, even with Celtics paying Jaylen Brown insane supermax, its still Warriors ball to conquer. The salary cap is at around 123 million, or so it was last year and I do not know how much it went up this year. It is still easy to say that they are way above that line, and paying a HUGE luxury tax as well. They do have Chris Paul now, no how they managed to make that happen, but it looks like they are paying a ton of money to him, and Wiggins as well. If they somehow trade those two, then maybe? They need to find space, and when you are over 80 millions above the salary cap, that's not easy.
Getting rid of Jordan Poole was a pretty big salary dump. Chris Paul also won’t be around too much longer and could probably be bought out for cheap if it was necessary anyway. I think they would be wise to get rid of Draymond and keep Wiggins, which might be possible since Draymond obviously wants to play with LeBron. Bottom line is that the Warriors would do whatever it takes to get Giannis if the opportunity presents itself. That might do, overall, the Warriors is still on the pace where they will make an experimentation and if things won't work their way, I won't be surprised if they set free Draymond and Chris Paul to free up some space because either way, it's not giving the team the benefit they wanted. And more obviously, they might want to free some space so that they can have a spot for Giannis, you know, just in case the star will ask for a way out from the Bucks. And there were also some speculations that Juan Toscano Anderson is back with the Warriors though. I just read it somewhere in Yahoo sports but they say when they interview Moody, they somewhat see the jersey of JTA hanging in the Warriors dug out. If we can remember, he had a good year with the Warriors back then, him and Jordan Poole was really strong during that year. Unfortunately, he was let go of the Warriors and went to the Warriors. But if the news is true then it's a total flip as JTA is back with the team and Poole out apparently. |

Do anyone play on casino's which have vault feature (a wallet type feature where we store the crypto which we don't want to play with)
it will be easy to know asking from real users who have account on that casino. it will be difficult and very time consuming to ask about vault feature on every casino's support chat.
we cannot see the vault feature by just visiting the site, because vault feature is visible if i have account on that casino and i am logged in on it.
here are some i know bcgame, stake, bitsler, wolfbet.
please reply if you know a casino
If I'm not mistaken there is also one casino that implemented this kind of vault, not sure if it has the same idea as yours, but I totally forget the name of the casino, or how successful it was before or it the casino still exists today. And just like what others say, duelbits is one casino that has this kind of features. I'll try to find the casino's though that I have mentioned, maybe I could refresh my memory. |

Now where is @OP? he was asking a question and suddenly disappear until now. Those megathreads with football transfers and all that stuff, they all share predictions sometimes if it comes to it and no one gets banned. It's not really banned here, and everyone is actually welcome to do so as we are in a gambling discussion sub-forum. Sharing betsi is actually one of the reasons why people flock here as they are using these bets and compare what they came up with then discuss why they have that option as a bet.
The only thing he can get banned if @OP took someone else prediction or using ChatGPT, if @OP create a bullshit prediction, he will get bullied and maybe a neutral feedback.  Discussing and sharing a good bet is definitely better than just giving a prediction without giving any analyze. Yes, checking his post history, it seems that he has disappeared with no predictions at all. Maybe he has read all the replies here and just decided to totally quit, Lol. But at least though, he should have share at least one and less see if he has what it takes to be a good predictor or giving us tips. Sadly, it's not the case. But the good thing is that we have a lot of threads already with almost all the sports and there are free betting tips by everyone. All we have to do is just follow it and see how it goes. |

The price rebounded quickly from the bottom of 25,600, which confirms that it is still possible to retest 31,000 again during this month, but the possibility that we will reach levels of 38,000 thousand to 42,000 has become a little more difficult. Thus, we can say that during this month, the best we will get is to retest 31,000 again.
it is still possible for us to be between 19,500 and 24,785. Therefore, during this month, if the price does not move higher, the end of this month will definitely be between these two levels.
<snip>
I feel 38 to 42k is a must by April 1st 2024 Mostly because it is the number needed to not collapse miners. But that is 5-6 months away. My hope is we move quickly to 33-35k in sept-oct this year. Thus we take the fear away of the need for 38k-42k by April 1 2024. As always I am a slanted person as I mostly mine to get income. If I'm not mistaken, there is a prediction that at least $50k at the end of the year. But I don't see it happening though, as we have a hard time breaking $30k and I think that will be the mental barrier for now. So let's see, for now the market is still trading sideways and it could continue up to the end of the month. And if that happens, then maybe the last 3 months might be the same with slow to none movement. |

Some casinos allow 18 years old to gamble, but others prefer to let those who are 18 years old above play just to be on the safer side of the law. So it really depends on where you are residing. However, since it's a matter of parenting, I believe that as long as you are still living within the same roof as your parents, meaning you are still under their care and everything is still being provided for you by them, it's just right to abide by their rules. Their house, their rules.
At 18 years old, if you really want to make decisions on your own, you can move out and live the life that you want without being monitored or dictated by anyone. Be independent if you want to sustain your gambling desires. But if you can't, then just stop. After all, a weekly allowance is still given by the parents. It's not as if you earned them.
Times have changed nowadays, kids used to be more obedient back in the day compared to the kids of today. Children nowadays don't listen to their parents after reaching a certain age because they start thinking that they are now big enough, they can do everything themselves and they should make their own decisions, and from that point onwards, they stop following what their parents tell them even if they are residing under their roof for now. I would have to agree with this, everything has change now. Kids are somewhat not listening to their parents and it's really hard to discipline them. You really have to be their on their side always if you wanted to be close with your kids. This is the biggest reason why children nowadays move out of their parent's house and live by themselves because they want to be independent. Those who manage to survive just stay alone, and those who find it very difficult to manage everything will go back and then ask for forgiveness from their parents.
But if I have kids that will to be separate with with at their earlier age? I wouldn't do that. I mean if they have jobs already it might be good, but if not then they will have to stay with me to teach them life lesson, just saying. |

Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction..
This is indeed a sad incident and it becomes even more sad when you know it happened with a 22 year old boy.  Losing in gambling or having a gambling addiction is a separate thing, I am unable to understand how much pressure he would have when he lost his school fee money in gambling and he could not have faced his parents to tell them about the loss and he chose to suicide instead. I wonder why parents are so strict and why can't they help their children recover from these bad habits. Perhaps if he had some good openness with his parents, he could have saved his life. I will also blame his parents for this incident. His decision is clouded obviously, and we really don't know whats in the mind of a 22 year old boy who losses everything in gambling. Yes, it's very sad and depressing to here this kind of stories and we wish we don't talk about it here in our community. But at least it's a reminding for us everyone, that even though we might be addicted and we think that it could be the end of it all, we shouldn't take our lives for it. It's really difficult for a kid and maybe he thinks that this is the only way out |

Most people lose on slots, you never see a broke bookie or casino. As a gambler you’re not supposed to look at slots as a way of attaining an income. If that’s what you’re after you will soon be broke.
Slots and gambling in general is supposed to be fun, a hobby if you will. You are supposed to enjoy gambling and whatever happens, happens. It’s not supposed to be seen as a way you live or a desperation to win to put food on the table.
Practise responsible gambling, set limits, only gamble with amounts you can afford to lose.
True, and last night I have a fun and entertainment run on a slot games in land based casino's here. But in the end, lose some money, but it was ok though, play with friends till the morning and we just have some laughs. So this is responsible gambling for me, at least even if I lost some money with it, I still have some fun. But for those who I see around, it seems that they are all desperate to win as you can see their facial expressions being sad. |

An update on this fight: Frank Martin has pulled out and Stevenson is now looking to fight #6 ranked fighter Edwin de los Santos. https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-seeks-new-opponent-wbc-lightweight-title-fight-frank-martin-out--177598My guess is that Haymon has managed to pull some strings and another one of Haney's belts will suddenly be declared vacant so that Martin can face an easier opponent instead. Stevenson has called himself the most ducked fighter in boxing and that claim may be accurate. None of the top fighters in the division seem too interested in fighting him. Thanks for the heads up mate! Tough guess and I'd say that maybe that was really the case but even we say that Al Haymon wasn't the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, we still cannot blame Frank Martin for pulling out from this fight that could land him a belt once Haney will be stripped if he continue his journey at 140 pounds because he himself already know the chances and that the belt that he will be fighting for is not that realistic to obtain because he will be facing Shakur Stevenson, who is touted to be more intelligent and stronger than Haney. But this is Frank Martin's chance to show the world if he has what it takes to become a champion, whether this is just for the interim belt. But his team pull out in the last minute as we have thought that everything has been settled down verbally as this didn't go on purse bid and so we've thought that this is a go fight already. Perhaps Frank Martin doesn't want to take the risk here, as they know that Shakur might win and obviously will put a dent on Martin's career. Anyhow, let's see how will be the replacement, they will have to find someone else. And for sure, Shakur will go to social media and tell that Frank duck them very clearly. |

But here, in this new weight class, it's not all about the power, it's going to be a thinking game as well. Like you said, Takuma is not well known for his power and yet he has won the belt. Because he has that intelligent and hopefully the camp of Ancajas will have a good game plan here, otherwise it will be Ancajas 3rd lost in 4th fight which is not good for the former champion.
It's a new journey for Ancajas, and he should forget his losses and simply learn from them. He should strive to win the belt currently held by Takuma, as if I'm not mistaken, the Philippines doesn't have a world champion anymore. Losing this fight won't help his future, as if he keeps losing, opportunities will keep fading as well. So personally, I'm rooting for him to win and betting on him as well. It's a tough situation, considering this fight will happen on the home court of the champion. Ancajas needs to be impressive so that judges would award him the win in case no one goes down. I think he has already move up about his back to back loses already. In fact he already won via knockout in his last fight that's why he has been given the first crack for the belt that Takuma got when his brother Naoya vacated the belt. Of course, majority is rooting for Ancajas to win, we want him to get back on track and become a champion again. He used to be the champion at 115 lbs and he has dominated it for years. And hopefully when bantamweight is open now, we might see a lot of fighters really getting into the position and perhaps another unification fight in the future. |

Oh, and Serbia too, without Nikola Jokic I thought they were stopping at the quarter-finals but surprisingly they are now playing for gold. There's so much talent on that team and I bet even the Joker is surprised and happy about what is happening to his country's team.
Sure thing Joker is proud. It's a great feeling to see your fellow countrymen playing excellent basketball in the World Cup,and it's hard not to be proud and happy about their achievements. But if Joker played in this tournament it might change how Serbia plays and affect the game's result for better or might worst, no one knows. Eventhough Jokic is a superstar having one on your team doesn't always make it better, remember the 2012-13 Lakers season having Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Howard and Steve Nash look how they end up on that season. Others though are quickly to criticized Austin Reaves as they said they found a loophole on his game and that is his defense. There were moments that he did guard someone bigger than him in the post and so obviously it's hard for him to guard those players, but sometimes he over react and then in foul trouble in the FIBA tournament. However, for the next season in the NBA, it might be a different looks though. Lakers had a solid defense overall, and with the addition of big men Hayes and Wood, for sure there will be more rim protection for them. |

^^ I saw glimpse of the face-off, as usual Tyson Fury started to run his mouth again, but Francis just keep calm and then point to the belly of Fury, lol. As we all know, Francis body is solid as compare to Fury who has not have a good body but he was able to carry that so no complains.
And I also see Mike Tyson really putting his works to train Francis here. Maybe he saw something in Francis that he can upset Fury. Just to sharpen his boxing skills and footwork and then the timing of letting his hands to go score a knockout. It's going to be devastating to see Francis knocking out Fury in return.

If you have been dca’ing since last Ath I think most people would be happy with a 4-5x which would put it around 100-125k$. I’m hoping for way more and am optimistic, wouldn’t it be amazing for it to breach 250+k$. Good luck all on your investments wherever we land sounds really good price for even those that accumulated too late, but honestly i kept on wondering whether that price mark could truly be achieved after all if we see from the previous bullrun, how bitcoin can achieve as far as $100k which is quite massive honestly was solely for the reason of the participation of those institutional investors in which we know bringing about billions of investment into the market. thats also why bitcoin market capitalization was growing so massively back then, but i wonder if there will be second wave of such trend now that elon's company are dumping their assets to the market. but they could be making buy back in the future though, i guess it depends on just how well the market turning out to be. but if btc truly surpass $100k then that will be massive gain for most of us honestly. I think it's going to be like 6-7x, so most likely it will be around $150-$180k. Nevertheless I would say that 6 digits will be the norm in the next bull run. Of course this is just a prediction on my end, but who knows, if this happen then it could be a massive profits for anyone of us. Not sure what you meant by second wave, but there are speculations that we will have like 2 bull cycles that never happen. So with that, I don't even think of someone like Elon Musk to affect the market. It will be just the retail investors and then institutional money flowing in the ecosystem next bull run. |

Here is the highlights for Frank Martin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_oVTxr_mRgHe is good, no doubt about it and he was being trained by Derrick James. But I do think that he hasn't fought a opposition as smart as Shakur is. He is a southpaw and Shakur has a good record fighting lefty. On offense he is good but his chin was never tested and no one he fought are hard puncher All that he fought were patsies and low-level fighters Frank Martin will be in the biggest surprise of his life when suddenly he finds himself an opponent who can take a punch who can counter who can allude a punch. I don't see this fight any different from fighters Shakur fought in the past, but he needs to look impressive here if he wants Haney he will be in line for major titles even title unification if he knocks out a fighter with an impressive record, even though the record is not something you can all A level record. It's a matter of who has the better offense because Shakur isn't a big KO threat. We can expect that his opponent will survive the full 12 rounds. He only has a 50% KO rate, so I think Martin will be able to go the distance. However, I doubt if Martin can outscore Shakur since the latter boxes like Mayweather, who is hard to hit due to his quickness and high ring IQ. I guess that is the only advantage of Frank Martin because he will have a full 12-round chance because Shakur is not that type of boxer who has a devastating knockout power. After that, it falls on him alone if how will he outsmart Shakur inside the ring because if we're talking about chances, Shakur will always have an upper hand even against boxer who is a KO artist because he can think clearly what to do and uses his speed to avoid punches that could ended a fight much sooner. Yes, Shakur too is too intelligent to fall for that trick to engage Martin and fight him in his own game. I think Shakur will used his boxing skills here and it will be displayed with a total dominant win via 12 rounds. Maybe Martin will have some rounds to win with his flash skills but I doubt that it can win against the technical skills of Shakur. With that, I will vote for Shakur to win by decision as well. |

A lot of talk about Christian Wood and I agree it is a good signing, but I still don’t think he starts or even replaces Rui when it comes to minutes. Rui had a great season last year and I think Christian Wood will likely get garbage minutes in comparison. I still say he’s an insurance policy in case Anthony Davis goes down.
More of a back-up Center for AD. That's his role. When Davis is on the bench, he will be the one who will sub depending on the situations. I agree that Wood has been a great piece when he's in the Rockets many years ago, and played well there, but ever since he got traded, he became a role player, and sometimes he doesn't even play. Like what you're feeling, Rui already had a terrific season since he got traded to the Lakers. Just imagine if the Lakers' roster after the all-star is what their roster is when the season started. I doubted that they will just be at the 7th spot at the end of the season. From 13th at the start, to ended the season at 7th. I will not be surprised if this current roster of the Lakers now will be a championship contender, and as for Wood, he will be the one replacing Davis if just in case he got injured, so this might be a good thing for him to showcase his skills. I highly doubt that he would be a backup at all. AD is a natural PF, and he has talked about how much he hates playing at the Center position not because of offense, but because at Defense he has to guard really big guys and he doesn't do that well, he is a blocker, not a post-up stopper. This means that we could see Wood and AD playing together a lot of minutes. Obviously there will be moments when one of them is playing and the other is not, I do not think that they will be benched together and put to game together at the same times, but I do believe that the minutes they spend together will be more than they spend sitting down. Lakers do not have a proper C right now and Wood could fill that role very well. Maybe for that statement they get a legit center with low risk since they can wave him out easily since the given contract is low if they didn't get good chemistry with Wood. For now they already have solid roster so I guess many are convince that this is a championship team already so hopefully they will not get a huge upset and exit on early rounds since this is really embarrassing knowing that they are the one create a big trades and roster changes. Oh wait, they already have Jaxson Hayes right? I mean a young athletic guy that will play the center position. And with the acquisition of Wood which is also a pure center, then most likely AD will play the PF because that's how he is built, and maybe we can see more iso play for him in the block this season. So they are pretty solid now, they have 2 big men that can play legitimate center position, and that can shoot the ball outside. We gonna see Lakers somehow dominating the paint or in the rebounding department and then start their fast break attack. |

^^ It's no surprised that Filipino boxers spar against each other, I mean they are going to support and so we have seen two great champion in Magsayo and Tapales sparring and trying to get as much experience specially for Tapales as he might have a upcoming fight against Inoue.
Although the fight has been scheduled already, we haven't heard though the official announcement. Nevertheless it will not hurt if Marlon Tapales will also prepared or preparing because anytime, the fight could happen.
It helps to build better stamina, knowing Magsayo with really solid combinations. If they will take this sparring seriously, I think it will help a lot, as Inoue is expected to have that strong type of punches. I think it's more of how Tapales can handle power, because as you have said, Inoue is powerful that he can even go up in weight and carry it. However, Magsayo has some heavy hands too so it will be a good experience and they can see if he has the chin to handle it. I like the way Pinoy champ supporting another one, both can boost their skills from one another,
hopefully Tapales will learn things from how Magsayo play his strategy and execute his own
style of fighting.
It's deeply rooted on them, they love to help each other out so that there will be more Pinoy that can be a champion again. And for sure Manny Pacquiao might have visited them to give them the motivation to come up big in every fight. |
