Yeah, it was pretty much a one-sided beating. But at least a lesser team knocked down 9 Pandas all the way to the lower bracket. I see some potential in Klim Sani4, although they lost to VP they gave a good fight. I guess they'll be facing a 9 Pandas again or NAVI before facing VP for the region's second slot. BetBoom should clearly get the first slot.


The region needs more teams. But it's still interesting who gets the slot between the Falcons and Quest. It'll be a Saudi vs Qatar rivalry, both are super rich and seem willing to spend a lot of money to show dominance. I want to see the other ultra-rich countries of Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai funding their own teams as well.


Team Secret has a worse team than last season IMO. I even thought Alliance could win their series. I am betting on Tickles to knock them out for good.

Hopefully, nobody bet on that juicy Shakira Tweeterson by KO/TKO. Both Devin Haney, George Kambosos, Ryan Garcia, and Tank Davis' fanbase are quick to ridicule Shakur's performance. It was a boring fight but still a level above Tank and Ryan who need to work their way to get their own title shots. And Haney bashing Shakur as if he is not a boring fighter as well.

I believe both are actually capable of landing more. De Los Santos showed his speed and combinations early. But he decided to lose a decision rather than have a real chance of a victory but risked getting tired and then getting stopped in the late rounds. On Shakur's side, he felt early on that De Los Santos indeed had enough speed and combinations to land. Knowing the guy has 14 KOs of his 16 victories, Shakur preferred not to risk letting his hands go and became contented with his jabs and straights as long as he was landing only a little better than De Los Santos.

Navarette deserved as the main event of the fight. Fans were chanting his name. He was lucky enough to escape a majority draw.

The safest way to survive hyperinflation, especially during these times when a lot of countries' economies are down and unpredictable is to invest in traditional assets like gold and other minerals and real estate. Bitcoin is not old but since it is not controlled by governments and financial institutions, I am confident about it. If we still need to diversify more of our investments, putting some funds into stocks, bonds, and even some foreign currencies could work well in the long run. I read some techniques of these rich families and this is what they are doing.

In today's generation of heavyweights, Usyk is just a blown-up cruiserweight. If not for his skills and high IQ he'll never have a chance of even getting a title shot. And by the way, he holds the Ring, WBA, IBF, and WBO belts so Fury's WBC belt is the only missing piece to determine the undisputed champion.

For years during AJ and Wilder's undefeated championship reigns, it's always the former favored by the betting odds. AJ has a shorter reign as champion than Wilder but his resume is always better than the American. AJ unified the belts and held 3 while Wilder never tried unifying his belt. Usyk did beat a version of AJ that is not undefeated anymore though while Fury is the only one that gave Wilder losses.


Lol! It's the heavyweight. Fury can eat all he wants but I guess he enters the ring lighter knowing he is fighting someone that has speed and skills. Maybe 250+ or below 265 pounds.

LaVine and even Derozan will cost some first-round draft picks which the Lakers do not have. AD in the last few years has been showing signs of being injury-prone, so it'll be very costly in terms of assets to trade him with those Chicago players.

OKC has a lot of future picks but I doubt they'll give up even a single first-round draft at the moment without receiving something worth it. OKC is getting better and it seems they are a serious playoffs team in the next few years. So they might only start trading their future first-round picks when some of its young players mature a bit. Or when someone in their starting position isn't compatible with the rest of the players.

There is no minimum nor maximum amount of bitcoin to hold OP. The real question is how much a poor can save regularly in order to invest part of it into bitcoin. Remember, only invest amounts that one can afford to lose. Bitcoin is not a sure thing especially when someone is looking for short-term gains, ask those who invested at $60k above. We can hold bitcoin long enough to pass it to our children and the next generations. The most important at least is to only consider selling them when in profit. due to bitcoin's scarce supply, the longer we hold, the higher the rewards.

I hope OP is not planning to borrow money or sell something important in order to invest. Research and study bitcoin first in order to fully understand it. Once you have enough knowledge and you can answer your own questions, that is the perfect time to invest.

Nice idea of a contest. Here's mine from a tech entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano.

"Bitcoin is only risky to those who don't understand it."

Cheers OP and good luck everyone!

Yeah, hard to choose which games to watch. Right now I am watching Virtus.pro against TT somehow hoping for some upsets to see new teams in the mainstream.
 
And the additional MENA region also adds more games. But it'll be more interesting as the game expands. I still have no idea about Valve's new system of qualifying for the TI. Maybe a top finish in ESL can earn points.


Same here, I don't think the current Secret team is better. I have a bet on OG to win the first map. I'm betting on Liquid and OG all the way to getting the 2 slots for WE.

So is anyone taking these betting odds? I might take a bet on a Tweeterson by KO/TKO. Honestly, I am starting to get annoyed with his trash-talking as if he is a KO artist.

But still, I am very doubtful of De Los Santos since this is his first title fight and this is also his first 12-rounder fight IIRC. And with the level of opponent, he is facing he can get tired if he can't connect. Unless he is training to survive rather than take his chances of winning this fight. If De Los Santos backpedals and tries to counter Shakur, he might survive but he will definitely lose by a wide decision or even a shutout.

I did not expect this fight to happen on a weekday since championship fights happen during weekends except in Japan where they have their own ways.

Ayos at naging active ulit thread nato. Eguls pa ako dito overall pero willing din kung meron gusto humiram at urgent yung need. Mali ko lang noon ay di ko na talaga tiningnan ng hhusto ang account. Lalo pag walang sig camp o di kaya unstable na sig camp tagilid talaga. Unless reliable members na dito sa forum at palagi na natin makita sa mga sections ng forum.

Goods rin ngayon dahil marami ng ways like GCash at p2p ng Binance so zero to minimal fees na lang. Pero sa ngayon parating na mga bonuses sa mga employees  jan, namamasko po. 

Dana White doing business moves rather than the normal way. And as much as hardcore fight fans wanted an Aspinall-Jones fight, it's the casuals who will buy the bulk of PPVs and they will definitely buy the GOAT versus GOAT marketing. They don't even know Miocic is already past 40, came from a brutal defeat, and is years inactive.

Anyways, even before Jones won the heavyweight belt, I was doubtful of his ability to stay undefeated. His main assets which are his speed and length are no longer that advantageous at his age and in this division. So as much as possible Dana White will try to milk Jones before he loses or retires. Maybe we can see an Aspinall-Blaydes first before the interim belt holder gets his shot at the real title.

I love it, a silent underrated team. They're now in a 4 straight win and they just beat the Lakers for the second time this season. What made it better is they won in LA.

Hopefully, they learned a lot last season and will do better in the coming playoff games. But I am not underestimating the Warriors, the Lakers, and the Clippers since these teams are too well experienced. The regular season is far from playoff games where every team is willing to do everything to get a win.

But if there's a betting odd on which California teams do better in the regular season, I am also taking the Kings over the other 3 teams.

I think there is less to worry about the oil supply since neither Israel nor Palestine are oil export countries. Saudi Arabia condemning Israel's attack also lowers the chance of further Yemeni attacks on its oil fields. It will only become a problem if rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran start their own conflict. The civil war in Yemen isn't done yet though so both Saudi and Iran are still in a proxy war as both want to establish a Yemeni government on their side.

Agriculture however is a must since people need to eat every day. Innovations won't stop so in the future, there will be less oil demand and it will die out later due to clean energy. That is why these oil-rich and desert nations are investing a lot outside of oil for long-term economic sustainability.

Yeah, I guess the majority of governments around the world are capable of offering even small loans to poor people to start their own businesses. And yes, the problem however is the guarantees and the trust. The majority of these poor do not own much assets as loan collaterals. And the majority of these poor people have no degrees and even lower levels of education so it is harder to trust them when it comes to starting their own businesses.

Here in my country, our government has many programs for the poor. Like training them or lecturing them on the dos and don'ts from specialized skills to farming. And then later, they will be granted loans without collaterals. What I noticed however is that they mostly fail. Both government workers are just doing it for compliance so there's no proper monitoring later on and most of the poor are just interested at the start because of the loan grants but later on, they get lazy and lose interest. In the end, the government is just spending billions of dollars to waste.

I guess it depends on what kind of stuff they are planning to buy. There are also levels of the rich. 7 digit millionaires might not care when shopping in a mall but they will absolutely ask for the price when it comes to very expensive cars and real estate. Most millionaires if not all cannot afford super yachts.

But even to the richest people in the world, there are still things they consider asking for the price. Elon Musk for example is worth over $200 billion but he needed partners and investors when he acquired Twitter. So it all depends on the level of the rich and the stuff they are into.

It's still fresh in my memory when someone posted on Facebook asking who will beat the Clippers when Harden is shipped. And here they are, suffering from a 5 losing streak. Later they will face the defending champions at Denver so it'll be another losing game I guess.

But to be fair, all of these 4 stars are past their prime. On the bright side though, the season is still early. The Clippers are also 3-1 at home so that's something to be seen since they were on the road for 4-straight games.

Personally, though, I am not expecting something from this team. I just don't think Kawhi can be healthy for a whole season and the playoffs.

Actually, even an illegitimate child has the right of inheritance. So a legitimate child even if the person is an irresponsible gambling addict can claim an inheritance. What more to a regular but responsible gambler, of course, they'll have more rights to claim inheritance like a business for example.

Except maybe in some countries where freedom is limited and betting is not allowed as they have their own different laws from most modern countries.

Personally, if my parents do not want me to inherit their assets because I bet casually, I'm not going to question it. But when it comes to assets they only inherit from their parents and other bloodlines, I'm absolutely going to contest it. But they can sell it to avoid inheriting it from a child they do not like.

It's a basic understanding that there are many ways to launder money. Unless someone does not understand or is unfamiliar with money laundering which is odd knowing we're already in 2023. Gambling is just one way of laundering money but it doesn't mean that it is easy. Online betting is much more difficult to launder money than land-based casinos. In online gambling, KYC is needed when on big amounts. And there's also the risk of totally losing the money on the bets.

In the end, money launderers might consider betting as one of the last resorts since it is risky and well-regulated, especially online casinos. The best way to launder money is still to build connections and bribe people from public officials to businesses.

There's always risk in everything including investing. But I would rather risk rather than put all savings in a slow-moving and inflationary fiat. It's less than 6 months before the bitcoin halving. And we already know what happens to the crypto market every halving and its following year. So for me, the time to start accumulating altcoins is now. I also started already accumulating altcoins but bitcoin remains my main priority which is around 70% of my portfolio. It is hard to catch the lowest time buying altcoins so for me doing a DCA is highly recommended just like with bitcoin.

It depends on the family status since there are also people who are born rich or have the influence or connections. For average people, it is not easy to save money to have capital. We need to finish college and then work hard to get a promotion since the higher position we have in our jobs the higher the salary which also means higher savings.

But for people born poor, it'll be much more difficult and it'll be lucky to even get a college degree. And when we graduate college and get a job, we also need to help our family and relatives. We need to work harder to get a salary increase, or we can get another sideline job or start a business with very small capital.
