721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 15, 2023, 11:13:37 AM
Who was able to bet on the Blackwater Bossing against Converge? I checked the odds before the game, and they were very attractive for the Bossing. I was actually considering placing a bet, but I got busy and ended up forgetting about the upcoming game. It's frustrating; it could have been easy money.  Smiley

The score was 97-102

Was not able to bet also for this game but i could have lose if i do because i would go for Converge. The thing that i noticed on this PBA-on-tour was that the ratio of the underdogs winning the game was higher so if one was betting on the underdog the whole tournament would end up getting huge profit i think. On the contrary, Ginebra won on the second game against Phoenix where the Gin Kings was the slight favorite.

Meanwhile, Junemar Fajardo was declared healthy once again and fit to play on the FIBA World Cup'23 which will happen in the coming months. I think the timing is good since their is a high chance that Kai Sotto will miss this tournament because of personal dealing with the Dallas Mavericks.

Have you ever won a high amount of money from gambling and managed to not lose them all back to gambling? And to date, you are still gambling?

Same here, have seen people who win big amounts in gambling that i thought would be life-changing and yet see them gamble again and lose all that money, and go back to zero. I think that's the instinct of a gambler or let me say "once a gambler, always a gambler" and the only thing that  will keep us from gambling is the state of our over-all physical health.

Personally, i have a target amount in my mind that once i accumulate it, i would seriously consider to stop gambling or stay with gambling but fun only, i know this is easier said than done but once i have that money, truly i would keep that promise  Cool.

I want to follow you with your statement regarding to those PBA players who decided to sign with MPBL, I know it's not about the salary but more on the exposure and for them to enhance their skills, with PBA they will have a limited time but with MPBL they can be one of the star of the team.

We can't remove the fact that there are many pinoy talents and good thing that MPBL are adopting those rising stars and giving them exposures.

I couldn't agree more with you mate  Grin. Raw talent that needs development will just be stagnant in the PBA if you don't have good connections with the coaching staff, i mean those players who are not sons or families of some coaching staff will just be bench warmer or practice player if their talent is just regular.

I've read an article that stated that a certain player refuses the offer of a certain PBA team to join MPBL, that sounds insulting to the PBA itself but maybe that guy have a good reason why he opt out of the PBA, just like you said, maybe playing time or exposure so that may scouts from a foreign team could see his talent and bring him overseas where the money is good.

724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 14, 2023, 11:01:26 AM
The closest that we can see the odds in my opinion is Tapales, another good Filipino boxer. So the plan is as we have heard is that the winner of this fight, vs Marlon Tapales next for unification.

So if that happens then we can compare at least what will be the odds for Casimero. As if we are just changing the name of Tapales here. So before we talk about Casimero vs Inoue or Fulton, we will see first Tapales vs Inoue or Fulton and I think it will be a great fight although going to be very hard for the Filipino as he needed all the tools to beat either boxer.

You are right there mate, WBA has given the clearance to Tapales to fight whoever wins on the Inoue vs Fulton fight, they have not ordered Tapales to defend his belt via mandatory defense so this action is good for the Filipino pug.

But for me, Casimero has the higher chance of defeating either Inoue or Fulton but he has to do his thing first (win every fight) before calling out whoever will be the unified champion in this division.

For his part, Tapales is already a big winner by just fighting for the unified belt as i think this could be the biggest purse that he will receive in his boxing career, that's for sure.

Congrats sa duo ni Jokic at Jamal nabitin nung bubble kasi medyo bata pa sila pero ngayong season sobrang solid na talaga ng dedication nilang manalo, kahit pa sabihin nating galing sa ACL si Jamal pero talagang ung tiwala nilang dalawa sa isa't isa akala ko tuloy magiging mala stockton-Malone na walang makukuhang kampeonato dahil sa bigat ng rivalry sa mga super teams lalo na nasa west sila, pero nagbunga lahat ng pagod at determinasyon nila.

Congrats sa Denver Nuggets, kung manatiling intact yong core nila ay masasabi nating may second championship trophy pa to kung wala lang injury sa isa sa kanila ni Jokic or Murray. Tingin ko ay sana bigyan nila ng pasalamat yong Heat dahil tinalo nila yong Bucks at Celtics dahil kung nagkataon na Celtics or Bucks yong nakatapat ng Nuggets ay hindi ganito kadali nilang makuha yong kampyonato pero that's part of the game hehe.

Walang dapat ikahiya yong Heat dito dahil isa sila sa pinakasigang team na galing sa play-in na muntik pa malaglag kontra sa Bulls, pero bumalik at tinalo yong number one seeded sa East kaya salute to Jimmy Buckets hehe.

Congrats sa mga sumuporta sa kanila dun naman sa mga naitodo sa Miami medyo tsaga na muna sa sardinas kung kaya pa ng budget hahaha!

Hindi lahat ng pumusta sa Heat kanina ay talo kabayan dahil kahit papaano ay nakabingwit din tayo +9.5 @1.84 yong taya ko kanina.
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: June 13, 2023, 10:56:36 AM
Yeah, it's very uncanny for Lopez to just throw in the towel and declare his retirement. He is a very competitive fighter, so competitive that he sometime blurted words that out of line, like in this fight, wherein he says that he will take Josh Taylor life in the ring.

And then when he completely dominated the fight and won it, suddenly he says that he is retiring. We've heard that he has personal reasons, but I doubt that this is the only reasons why he opted to retire this early. There could be more deeper reasons I guess that only him knows.

Maybe it's just a burst of emotion, that's why he has said that statement, I've read that he wants a nine-figure on his next fight or he will retire. Nine-figure means the minimum would be a hundred million dollars which I think is the biggest ever to be given as a guaranteed purse to a boxer if ever Top Rank heeds to his demand but I doubt he would receive this amount.

We have heard Teo Lopez issued statement which were out of the blue and this retirement thing is one of them but i guess this statement will not hold true in the future as he is in for a money fights whether he likes it or not, money will change everything including Teo's mind.

728  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: June 12, 2023, 04:33:33 AM
Wala ka na bang tiwala kay Jimmy kabayan?  Cheesy


Seriously speaking, sobrang hirap Miami dahil hindi nila kayang bantayan si Jokic kaya nafoforce sila lagi mag double team. Tapos laging foul trouble si Vincent dahil nagpapaka bayani sya sa defense kahit na mismatch. Kung nagfofocus lang sana sya sa 3 points ay siguradong makakadikit sila dahil walang shooting si Porter at Pope.

4.10 odds ng Miami sa Game 4. Malakas ang Miami sa home court ng kalaban kaya susugal ako sa knila this time dahil madaming beses na dn nmn ako nanalo sa Miami na ganitong scenario.

Hindi pa rin nagbago yong odds hanggang sa ngayon, wala pa atang pera na pumapasok pabor sa Miami Heat hehe. Fearless forecast ay tatapusin na ng Nuggets to sa kanilang homecourt bukas at ang consolation nalang dito ay hindi masyadong tambak yong Heat na kahit sa kanila ka nakapusta, kahit champion ang Nuggets pero panalo pa rin taya natin sa Heat dahil sa hindi na-cover ang handicap.

Galing lang talaga ng play ng Nuggets, hindi natin namamalayan na kalaunan ay ang nakabantay kay Jokic ay si Vincent na, dahil yan switching at kahit pa ma-double team si Jokic ay kayang-kaya nyang humanap na kakampi na open para pasahan, tagal na niyang ginagawa to kaya kahit nakapikit ay kuha pa rin nyang pumasa.

As usual, sa live betting ako tomorrow dahil tingin ko tatambakan tong Heat sa umpisa then babalik sa third or fourth kaya aabangan ko nalang yong malaking spread bukas.
729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: June 12, 2023, 03:58:32 AM
His initial plan though is to go to 115 lbs and fight another legend in Juan Francisco Estrada (after he beat Chocolatito). And then as fans, we have some concern though if Donaire can make 115 lbs without harming his body as we all know that he is old already.

Fortunately, Inoue decided to move up to 122 lbs and chase more belts. So Donaire chooses to stay and was given the chance to have another crack at the belt. And so this fight with Santiago is another chance for him to held the belt and put his name in the record books as the older bantamweight.

The good thing about Donaire is that he can move down in weight, particularly the superfly division if he wanted to and yeah that was his initial plan, to fight Estrada as that time, Inoue was ruling the bantamweight division and he knew that he stood no chance against the Japanese Monster even if they fight for the third time.

The good thing about this fight is that it already has a date and this will be held on July 15, so barely four weeks from now we would watch our very own Donaire to break his own record as the oldest boxer to capture this version of the belt in the bantamweight category.

It looks like Teofimo Lopez step up his performance whenever he meet great boxer.  The way I see the fight, Lopez is so focused and be able to outwit and out tempo Taylor.  And Taylor just had a very bad performance and not utilizing his height and reach advantage. We all seen it that Teofimo Lopez is way smaller than Josh Taylor.  Taylor failed to establish his job that should had helped him to keep Lopez @ bay.

This is also what I noticed about Teo Lopez, he rises up on occasion whenever he is on a big stage just like last night. I thought that if Teo showed up last night and his performance would be just like that when he fought Martin, that could have been an easy fight for Taylor but Lopez was amazing on his counter punching which he was not known for, I mean he is a knockout artist and an aggressive fighter on the get-go but nevertheless, it was a good game plan by Team Lopez but I think his hold of these belts will be short-live.

Am I the only one watching the fight live?  Grin

Another upset in boxing today as Teo Lopez defeated Josh Taylor via unanimous decision with the score of (2)115-113 and 117-111.

Per compubox, Lopez landed way more power punches than Taylor via that counter-punching strategy which I found it weird because that's not the style of Lopez that I knew of, I knew him as an aggressive fighter.

Congrats to all who bet for Lopez may it be ML or via decision as both odds were juicy.

Official weigh-in for both fighters,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnB69bb8BV0

Taylor - 139.8 lbs
Lopez - 140 lbs

And now here's where the trash talking ends, they have time to rehydrate and be ready for the big fight in 24 hours. Josh Taylor is still the favorite so I'm not surprised if he actually win this fight. It might be close if a different version of Lopez shows in this fight. But if he got the wrong strategy and just want to counter then Josh might take it early and then dominate the fight in full 12 rounds.

Teo Sr is just so arrogant by showing that finger, he's so fired up as if he is the one that's going to fight. Teo Jr has not managed to say a statement in the final face-off, it's only Josh Taylor who did the talking, might it be that Teo Jr was afraid of the moment hehe, we will see tomorrow.

For me, if Lopez will be aggressive in the early rounds that might be not good strategy as we all know that Taylor could do damage if the former would walk to his punch but neither be that Lopez will just counter what Taylor throws because that is not his style so for me either be aggressive or be a counter puncher, Lopez will struggle and lose this fight unless he could land a haymaker.

Again, this fight will be aired live and free on Top Rank's youtube channel, that's what they said.

Katatapos lang ng 1st half medyo dikit ang laban 4 points lang lamang ng Nuggets, pumapalag sa loob yung Heat sa pangunguna ni Butler at Bam kasama si Lowry, medyo maaga para mapagtanto ang katapusan nitong game, pag tuloy tuloy yung magandang ikot ng depensa at opensa ng Miami baka makasilat sila dito.

Pero medyo baka parang diesel lang si Murray na pagpasok pa ng 2nd half hahataw, si Gordon at Jokic kasi ang bumabanat pa lang hindi pa masyadong ramdam si Murray.

Hindi pa rin gaanong humahataw sa opensa tong si Murray pero yong Gordon ang pumalit sa pwesto nya at siya pa nga ang kasalukuyan ngayong points leader para sa Nuggets with 25 points at lamang na yong Nuggets ng 13 points at the end of the third quarter.

Score ng Heat is 73, kailangan nila ng 110 points para manalo sa isang game kaya tingin ko talo rin sila ngayon dahil hirap silang abutin yong 100 points nga ehh.

edit: panalo yong bet ko kaya may patimpalak akong kaunti para sa atin dito sa lokal sana salihan nyo mga kabayan.

I've been thinking this over for a few hours and now i'm finalizing this one, pupusta na muna ako sa Nuggets sa game 4 -3.5 @1.88 kasi napagtanto ko na wala talagang palag yong Heat sa ilalim eh, minamama lang sila ni Jokic plus bumibirada pa ng husto ngayon si Murray na siyang nagpahirap sa mga guards ng Heat. Pag-asa lang talaga ng Heat dito ay kung pumapasok yong mga tres nila, let's say above 40 percent sila sa teritoryong yon pero hindi, inconsistent pa rin sila.

Nuggets -3.5 @1.88

Pero pag may attractive odds once mabaon na yong Heat ay kukuha rin ako tulad noong sa game 3.

Good luck sa ating lahat kabayan.

Do you know of any sportsbook that provides pregame betting odds for these particular games?

Of course, you can check at https://www.betcoin.ag/sports



As you can see, they have a wide market on the specific game. So, even if the PBA has not yet officially returned, at least we have sportsbooks that provide what we need. Maybe the reason is they have a different odds provider. At least we have an alternative.

It's just unfortunate that my favorite crypto sports book has not covered these games today as they have not put odds on the pre-game but they covered the games involving SMB vs ROS and TNT vs Dyip just the other day.

Even the local sports book also has not covered this one as of the moment. I'm in the mood of betting for the NLEX today but well see if there odds in the live games.
739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: June 09, 2023, 03:37:05 AM
Again, we might have to hate Teo Lopez and his father, the antics and everything. So I think this fight is going to sell, but I doubt that it can be close to like 200k PPV in the US. But I guess those numbers might be good for this 2 boxers, specially that Teo Lopez is fighting a non-American. And maybe the fans of Taylor is going to watch it from UK.

I forgot the link on the article that popped up on my social media account but it said that this fight can be watch live and for free on Top Rank's facebook account and youtube channel so with that i don't think that this Josh Taylor's defense of his belt will sell huge number on PPV or is this will be sold on PPV with Top Rank broadcasting this for free?
740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 08, 2023, 11:28:38 AM
We really don't know if how long coach Chot will ignore the fans about the Ravena's seems that he's really admiring these two players even there are players who more deserving to earn the place, I will personally be glad if you are right that these two bros are just here to attend the trainings and just to improve their individual skills.

Though I won't be surprise if I will see their names when playing in FIBA world, the trust that Reyes have for these two boys is really unimaginable, ignoring the fans and let the bash to continue is something that a coach Chot is willing to accept for the Ravenas.

I think it's not coach Chot who likes the Ravena bros but i think it's the MVP group of companies honcho himself likes them to be on one of his teams (just my two cents hehe). They might be on the poll right now on the Gilas team but i think they would not be included in the final lineup because they are too small for their positions while playing in the FIBA. Dwight Ramos, Clarkson, Malonzo will be included so no need for the Ravena bros, they are just there for practice purposes.



Back to PBA betting, lost my bet for SMB as they lose by two points to the ROS Elastopainters and DYIP defeated also the heavy favorite TNT Katropa, congrats to those who bet on the underdogs last night.

Tomorrow's game:
Blackwater vs NorthPort
Phoenix vs NLEX

No odds yet but surely Blackwater and Phoenix will be the underdogs here.
