I do not really know Buakaw but since they are fighting with boxing rules the victory should be for Pacquiao, still it will be interesting to see how his boxing skills are holding up, as father time is unforgiving and it is possible there could have been a significant decrease on his abilities, however for those that love Pacquiao and everything that he represents this is a fight they cannot really afford to miss, since we do not know if this could be his last fight.
You have to check Buakaw's highlights and judge if Buakaw is an easy fight, he is not a legendary Muay Thai boxer for nothing he is ruthless in the ring and Muay Thai is very similar to boxing minus the low kick, Pacquiao will have an advantage on speed and skill but I believe when it comes to power they are equal Buakaw has over 300 fights, this is indeed a very busy fight for Pacquiao this year he has another fight coming after against Buakaw but he must show a good performance against Buakaw for the Mayweather fight becomes attractive, same with Mayweather against Gotti. Boom! The Deadliest Knockout Machine EVER - Buakaw BanchamekMy boy Pacman has fought a lot of knockout artists, but it was his quickness that helped him win. So, I don't think Buakaw will beat Pacman because if Pacman still possesses that quickness, he could tire Buakaw out, possibly leading to an early knockout. While Buakaw is very dangerous in kickboxing, and one might think it's somewhat similar to boxing, the dynamics are different. Maybe this will end up like Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, where Fury still won despite a close fight and getting knocked down once. Just to add though, this is just a exhibition fight so it might not be as competitive as the Fury vs Ngannou as Manny could hold his power and not go full force against Buakaw and obviously this is just for entertainment only. But definitely if we see the Manny landed some on Buakaw, we might see have flashbacks of the old Manny wherein he was knocking down or at least dominating his opponents with that speed and power and winning and becoming a 8 division champion. So we will see in this fight, Buakaw though is also a legend in mixed martial arts, but the rules here is boxing in this fight so it's going to be all Manny here.

Dear friend, not all advice needs a reason. And if you think this is not reasonable, then look for the problem in yourself. Gambling is a case where you don’t need a lot of words, because you won’t earn money by playing gambling. It is impossible to gamble for a long time and be in the positive balance, this is how the gambling business works, this is science, the theory of probability. If a gambling person starts playing, he will play for a long time, and in the end he will be in the negative balance.
Let's say no to gambling!
We cannot say no to gambling all because some people are there who couldn't control the way they are gambling because they can't manage themselves not to talk of gambling responsibly, in such case, this has to be an individual issue and not to be a general one, gambling is a means of offering to us fun and nothing more, but when we are getting other things aside being entertained, then that has to do along way from how we are gambling, while there are many others making fun and gambling responsibly even when we are not. I am not against discussing gambling, but I am inclined to ask everyone to never gamble or to stop in time if they are gambling people. Understand, it’s one thing when a the gambling person plays, and another thing when a non-gambler plays and can enjoy the game. But there are very few such people, among hundreds of people I met only 1-2 people who can enjoy the game and they were very rich. You must understand that besides gambling, there are many ways to have a good time and all of them are risk-free. Time spent gambling, even if the amount lost is little, the time lost is priceless. So I guess that's one secret for winning? Maybe just enjoy the game and don't look for that kind of miracle and change the outcome to your favor? I also here this from players that won though, I mean they say that they just play and like to be entertainment and when everything looks like they are going to lose, something happen to them and win big. However, this might not be the case always, that's why there are risk involved in gambling and as human, it's a people that is part of us. So really depends on the individual if he will turn into a gambling addict or simply enjoy and have some fun whether online or offline.

Seeking reliable airdrops can be tricky, especially with the risk of scams. Recently, I've delved into blast.io, where participants deposit 0.1 ETH, receive blast airdrop tokens, and reclaim their ETH with added APY. Similarly, y24.io, launching on BNB chain, employs a resembling tactic: deposit 0.1 BNB, complete tasks, and earn up to 1000 y24 tokens daily. Given blast's success, I'm inclined toward y24's potential. However, as y24 is new, I seek guidance. The profits in blast were notable, and I anticipate similar returns with y24. Expert suggestions are highly valued here. check out for more detail link: https://y24.io/airdrop Those kind of airdrops for me are useless airdrops. Just to be a qualifier, you have to make a deposit first. I'm not comfortable with those rules on airdrops, to be honest. That's why airdrops like that are no longer a trend or legit in the crypto space. True, this is not like 2017 or early 2018 wherein airdrop is the thing. It was a hype before, as every airdrop is really worth something. But I don't know who started the whole airdrop becoming a scam when they started asking people to deposit first to get a airdrop. Because of the legitimacy of airdrops now or in this era, you must first use the platform of those who want to give airdrops to communities. In short, the participants must first enjoy the service platform that the coordinator of their airdrop program has. But it will be a few months before they start airdrops.
Perhaps there could be airdrop that is still legitimate, maybe a couple of them, but I don't think it's worth as compare to before. So it could be define as waste of time hunting this airdrop as it might not be as big as a bounty hunter is expecting. But if there are some of them still wanting to go and jump on those airdrop, then best of luck to them. And there are a lot of similar websites that we can find giving us dates and what not as far as airdrop is concern.

Ball being traded doesn't seem that likely to me, who would want to get a player who hasn't played for 2 years? I mean you need to really find someone who would accept him in exchange for getting some picks as well, because you can't just get rid of that contract. Nobody would want him directly, he has been injured for too long, and there is a possibility that he may never play again.
And probably this is the very reason why the Bulls might want to trade him because he might not be the same player when he comes back and so the Bulls might decide to take the risk to opt out get rid of him and get some picks. What he has was basically what Brandon Roy had, and because of the age of those times, Brandon Roy had to retire early, he couldn't continue to play, Lonzo has the better medicine, because it is 10+ years later and we are not at that point anymore, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with Lonzo suddenly being as good as he used to be. I think Lavine is the only sensible one, Lakers are interested, and they are trying to sell the farm all over again, they will try to trade away all they have, so they could have a super team of Lavine, Lebron and AD, all other players are on the table.
Roy's case, yeah, one of the biggest news in the NBA, he was still in his prime, and many "what if" for him. Perhaps it was really in his DNA to have this kind of knees, that degenerated so much, resulting in a lacked cartilage that deprived him of him NBA career. Yeah, there's a lot of noise on Lavine wanting to get out of Bulls now and go to Lakers and I think this could be interesting as who the Lakers are going to give in this trade, although Russell's name pop up.

Not really. I don't care what they say. Let them talk about what they want to talk about because it's not going to affect you or your lifestyle. If you want, you can talk back and tell him that those who gossip are also useless. I bet that will trigger him too. Society is different now in my opinion. People don't really care about what others do and they are more concerned about how they will fix their own lives. I mean, that's what I noticed with most of my friends and neighbors. Gambling is just a sport now, it's everywhere. Social media bloggers are advertising it now, articles are filled with gambling advertisements, and even popular sports are also letting gambling platforms be advertised while the game is running. If there are people who will say they are "useless" then perhaps they should look at how much tax is being received by a government through gambling. Don't be triggered by it, it's not worth discussing it with people who cannot open their minds to how entertainment is being provided in this era. And if you know to yourself that you are a responsible gambler then I don't think you should worry about that. I think majority of us gamblers have that kind of attitude, again, in the first place, our money, our decision. They can give advise, but I wouldn't take it seriously, I mean how can someone gave advise to us if they themselves haven't went into that kind of experience? Sure, others might argue that you are just wasting your money on gambling, but each of us here are very different, there could be real gamblers here who put bet on sports or play in casinos. But there are still haven't even place a single bet in their lives and yet giving us advises.

I thought last month the price of Bitcoin had a massive correction since it's more in holidays and people will need money during these holiday seasons. But it is not, Bitcoin price is maintained at the price of $40k which is impossible to decline in January by this month. So my prediction would be the price will still at the range of $40k plus the additional factor of ETF events might also be the reason Bitcoin will possibly create a massive pump this month.
We went to $40k after a spike to $44k, then go to $42k and maintain that price at the end. But at the start of the year suddenly we have a boost pushing to more than $45k and so it's really hard to see where the price will be or if this is just a temporary or short bull run. So I'm not convinced yet if the price will strike and pump with this month.
I can't blame you with your skepticism and maybe some of us here are not that convinced. And for me the gauge is whether we are in a bull run is after the block halving as this is the catalyst for the official run that we are waiting for this year.

I know Buakaw can take a hit because of being a Muay Thai fighter but I wonder how he will fare in a boxing match, as far as I know, this is his first time fighting in a boxing match(right?), he will be at a disadvantage against Pacquiao, but I hope they can give us a good show. both of these fighters are legendary in their sport.
I think that there's also this scenario in the same sport, a UFC fighter and boxer in a boxing ring. But I have forgotten on who were the fighters are. On this match with Buakaw and Pacquiao, it's certainly an advantage for Pacquiao but it's all about the money that both of them are going to make and that's why this match is anticipated. Yes, and that's why MMA is really harder as compare to boxing, and every exhibition match that involves a MMA fighter is being held in boxing rules, not the other way around as boxers have the disadvantage but MMA fighters knows how to strike. Now, I am confused. Is there already a date for the match of Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather when these two announcements came out at the same time? So for first this year of 2024, we're going to see Manny Pacquiao on the ring twice. I guess that there's really no retirement for him and he just can't get out of his passion and even they're just going to be delegations or exhibition matches, he's willing to go in for it.
There is no date for Manny vs Floyd, for now it's speculation as they have their respective fights to complete. Obviously Manny hear against the Thai legend, and then Floyd in February for a rematch against Gotti Jr, their first fight ended in a melee.

The problem with all those trades is always the same, these players like Westbrook or Dangelo RUssel are gonna never find their places in teams who already have his stars, they dont feel good becoming the second guitar they only want to be the main one, and they dont like to be in the second roster, or sharing the ball in the games.
Well, it's their choice and they have options tbh but for the sake of the team I think it really matters if you'll get along with them for years. Players these days just want to be traded along superstars but ended up as a laughingstock whenever the playoffs come because most of them just gonna choke in the end. For the trade, it's beyond their control, but if they go with the team that could potentially give them a good role and score then it could be a blessing in disguise. Just like with D'Lo, when he join the Lakers there are a lot of expectations from him and he did good early. But the problem is that he is inconsistent and that's why the Lakers are looking to trade him. And we can say that to other players that are in the trading, or at least they names popping up, like Wiggins. When he join the Warriors, he was instrumental in their 4th championship, then he has problem, came back again but he was different. So his journey might end with the Warriors and maybe he can find a new team that will ignite his passion again.

So for those fans of Inoue out there or into this community. What you can you say into this title defense? Specially into those people who are really that keep pushing about Casimero vs Inoue fight? Naoya Inoue Plans To Defend His 122lb Title 3 Times In 2024Naoya Inoue’s promoter, Hideyuki Ohashi, has confirmed his fighter will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title three times next year, with the fights taking place between Japan and Saudi Arabia. Link Source• Luis Nery •Murodjon Akhmadaliev •John Riel CasimeroSo these are the fighters which is already in line.Quite interesting eh? That's a good call if they are going to fight in Saudi instead of Japan, they have to realized by now that big oil money in boxing and it should be in the Middle East. I do agree about their target, Luis Nery first, because he is WBC's #1, or so he is the mandatory, and this one, either US or Saudi Arabia. Second fight is again another great fight, Inoue has the 2 belts that Akhmadaliev used to have, so that will be their storyline. Casimero, brandish trash talking Filipino, we have been waiting for this fight since the bantamweight division and there could be a lot of hype in this fight and maybe it will be in Japan.

Gamblers were seen as irresponsible people in my town few years ago. Parents usually warn their children never to indulge in gambling or associate with people who gamble. However, a lot has changed recently as gambling has become one of the biggest business here. As a result of that, societal perception has also improved as many testimonies of life-changing wins from gambling has emerged.
I don't know if this is only happening in my area or is a general trend, hence the reason I created this post. Let's know what people think about gamblers and how well the gambling business is faring in your area.
I think it's not just in your area, even here there is a bad perception for gamblers in our place. But then again, why should everyone be concern of what your neighbors are going to say? I mean you gamble with your own money and you never borrow or loan from them in the first place. So for me, I'm not bothered by it as long as they are not bothering me as well. And when they see that we are gambling, we are having fun maybe that's where they look different as us. We don't influence anyone, if we do, it's not intentional and as parent's we are responsible regarding our children, whether they will go into gambling or not.

I haven't experience it, although I used to IP addresses, one from home, or if I wanted to used data as I used a different provider. But I haven't been ban using this IP addresses, maybe they have recognized it and so they allow me to used it.
But perhaps if they recognized a 3rd and it's a public WIFI? Maybe they will suspected of something, thus not allow you to play. And there is another question if suddenly you win big with this public IP addresses that they might fight it suspicious and it could lead to a ban or your account being restricted or something.

I know Detroit Pistons are not the best team but their roster is not so bad to have this results, they have between them Bogdanovic a proved player, and they have a number 1 pick in the draft(Cunningham), you cant lose 20+ games in a row with that i think we see worst roster in other teams..
Getting the number 1 pick does not guarantee a win though, this is a team game, so if there's no chemistry on the team, the team will struggle, no matter how good their lead player is. Pistons tied with 76ers for the longest losing streak in the NBA. IIRC, during the time where the 76ers struggled, they also have their first pick, I think they even have 2 first pick and yet they incur a long losing streak. This win for the Pistons is big, but we cannot assure they'll not gonna experience a losing streak again. At least though they have broken that spell and for sure the city is very happy about it, tying the longest streak in the NBA is one of those bad records that you don't want your city to be in. So now it's up to the team to build this momentum and at give more wins this 2024. Cade doesn't want to disappoint again and so he score 30 points. But it was a tough game though, Toronto made a comeback, but then Cunningham and Jaden Ivey made back to back 3's and that was enough to get their win after 28 games.

We all know that Bitcoin is used for making payments. So, people who buy uses bitcoin to send payment and those who sell uses it to receive payment from anywhere in the word. But the situation of high transaction fees is affecting buyers and sellers. They are now looking for an alternative to make payment instead of using bitcoin. Another thing is that if transaction is made, sellers will have to wait for long to receive payment and no seller wants that kind of delay in his/her business.
Do you think there is a solution to this, or B2B and P2B, business that uses bitcoin should find another alternative to payment method instead of Bitcoin?
For those who are into business that make use of bitcoin, how do you harness this situation of high transaction fess to not affect your business and customers? So that others will learn from your tips.
I think LN is the answer for those stores and it has been proven already. But as far as online goes, I do agree with the current fees, you don't expect someone to buy using their bitcoin specially that it was initially design for "micropayments", the mempool is congested because of BRC-20 ordinals that everyone is really affected and suffering. As far as I know there was a proposal, anyways, it's beyond us for now, the devs or who is involved should debate whether they will implement it or not. Or course, those businesses have options to used other cryptos, but it will defeat the purpose of bitcoin being that supposedly coin to handle that.

With all these factors laid in front of you, would you still think that lotteries are supposed to be linked with standard gambling systems, or should we set them to a different system/standard from here on out? Answers please.
I think when there is risk involved, it should still be categorically called gambling, regardless of what the odds are and specially you are buying tickets in hope that you are going to win big money, and that is the very basic tenant of gambling itself. So there's no other system/standard for lottery, it is still gambling per se, even if you pointed out some factors that others might think what lottery is. Regardless of what is the probability/profitability, we should call it gambling.

For some reason Fans just want the Los Angeles Lakers to be good again, and after winning the In-Season Tournament this year, they want the Lakers to continue their winning and go into the Finals again for sure, just like what they did last season, but they will need to trade certain key players for this to happen, well fans just wants the best for the Los Angeles Lakers but getting LeBron James out of the Lakers is really impossible as James now is still profitable for their business and for the team while LeBron James is still playing like his old self so it is a real big win for the Los Angeles Lakers,
D'Angelo Russell might be traded or with (+ player). I think he isn't the same anymore, at least his impact aren't that great with the LA Lakers, Reaves was even more impactful than him, so if there's a possible trade that could allow D'Angelo Russell to be out with the Lakers, I think that will happen. Probably this is the reason while Russell contribution has drop significantly as he hears trade rumor surrounding his name. He has a impact when the Lakers win the IST tournament but we all know that after that they struggled. Dejounte Murray on the other hand, his stats are quite consistent, but we are still not seeing a big impact to the Atlanta Hawks. I think Hawks are better with Trae Young being the alpha and the rest are just role players. Actually, I believe they were better before Dejounte Murray arrrived.
Trae Young has been surrounded with good role players, but all of them has somewhat wanted more minutes and so they are not traded. Murray on the other hand might not be a perfect fit as he also wanted to score more and not just a side kick to Trae Young, as that what is role with the Spurs before.

I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.
Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.
I guess it's part of human history, I mean gambling has been with human since the beginning, maybe we really don't know it, or even consider being a live and trying to survived a gamble already as there is risk. But for modern definition of gambling, I think we all gamble because of two reasons that we have been discussing already, we want to entertained hence with our cash and money we can do that. And then there is the second group which obviously, wanted to win free money, or even change their lives when they play and gamble on games like lottery. They might not change their game as they wanted to think that they can go back and recoup what they have loses like in slot machines because just one bonus round, might change everything in your favor.

I voted for Above 70k+.
Or at least we would see a new all time high, or get passed the previous at $69k. As for what could be the new all time high, obviously, everyone's target is above $100k conservative estimates, but I don't think that we are going to hit it in 2024 yet.
So going to be a great year to us, if the cycle or the pattern continues 2024 will be the start of the bull run right after the block halving. We might not felt a initial surge, but once the bull pick it up, it's going to be a great and massive run again just like the previous post halving years.

Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin.
It's not how it works, but you need to educate yourself first before investing, not just BTC but any other assets out there. In my case though, early on I was a victim of a bitcoin doubler, just lost small amounts though, not that big amount of bitcoin but it teaches me a valuable lesson. If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it.
I have to disagree though, again if we are talking about experience, there could be more average joe investor like you and me in this market. On the other hand people are been made big and wealthy in same program. What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously. My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?
Those who get rich could be early adopters, or just work hard day in day out, grinding, buying small amounts of bitcoin thru a method DCA and then HODL it for years and just selling it during bull run or if it is necessary. I think you have to change your mindset first and not think of bitcoin investment as a "rich quick scheme".

Inoue isn't that much of a talkative guy so a lot of the media are trying to reach out to his Japanese promoter Hideyuki Ohashi. So the plan is for the undisputed champion to defend all the belts 3-times in 2024. Bigger venues like the Tokyo Dome that could seat 40,000 fans are considered. Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia are also mentioned.
The first title defense is targeted against former 2-division world champion Luis Nery of Mexico. Nery is banned in Japan so it's most likely happening in the US unless the Saudis can offer bigger.
The second title defense will be against former unified champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev who lost a highly disputed decision to Marlon Tapales. Akhmadaliev also won the WBA eliminator in his last fight which means Inoue has to fight him or get stripped of his WBA belt.
The planned third title defense will be against Johnreil Casimero, a 3-division world champion. Inoue and Casimero were scheduled already to unify their belts when the pandemic of COVID-19 happened. It was canceled but it seems like they are destined to really face each other.
I think this is going to be a dream for boxing fans to see Inoue against this 3 boxers. And as fans, we have mentioned already that this is the only fight that make sense for Inoue, to stay at 122 lbs and fought those names and somewhat clean up the division before moving up. There have been a lot of talks of him and Nery fighting. And then Akhmadaliev winning a week ago makes him another candidate or mandatory for Inoue's belt. And then the trash talking another Filipino in Casimero, they already have supposedly scheduled fight, Casimero just needed to defend his belt against Butler. But the rest is history. However, as you have said, this two are destined to face each here at 122 lbs.

If I say two hours is bad because it's too long, will you cut your gambling duration? If I say two hours is too short, will you extend your gambling duration?
There's no black or white in this case, each gambler has it's own answer depends on how rich he's, how many hours he work, his obligation etc.
Yeah, limitations is just based on each individual and the money that they are willing to spend in gambling. If someone wanted to play for hours, then he should have a deep pockets to continue playing as much as he can. But if your funds is limited, then you will just play dependent on that budget. And usually if you have smaller capital, I don't think that you can even last for hours in casinos, online or offline. There were even days for me that I'm so unlucky that even if I play above my average budget, I wouldn't even last a hour.
