Or Mayweather will not pursue it. If they fight I do hope they'll fight their might considering many has been awaiting this for years already especially when they haven't retired from the boxing yet and for sure the excitement was still there but most was really into the intensity of the match and for sure if they fight again it wouldn't be there considering it's just an exhibition.

Still going to be for fun and entertainment as Mayweather is not willing to put his boxing records in the line. So he will pursue this for the money obvious as others have said. But for fans, we can still some excitement in this fight as we wanted to see a rematch that never happen and this is the closest that we might see them again in the ring although it might not be competitive if this is a professional fight and maybe there is a championship belt in the line.

As for the clinch and dodge style of Mayweather, we are already used to that kind of fight from him. Others might argue that it's a effective method for him and no one has crack the riddle of his defense, his Philly defense and then his counter punching.

I can only feel it will cause volatility in the short term before the news and after the news, but in the long term we still have many other things to see about the possibility of all acceptance of bitcoin. The SEC may exert their power, but they are not the sole controllers and given the nature of bitcoin it is here to stay. I remember the "Tulip Syndrome" that was gradually forgotten when we had to be realistic that with bitcoin it was in a completely different state, and the comparison no longer applies much to that.

To be honest, I don't think that Bitcoin can even be compare to the Tulip Mania before. It was really a bubble and so just matter of time before it will blew up and bubble being burst.

This market's scale is still too small, those who come early always keep their opportunities and also take risks, but anyway, as someone who has absolute faith in bitcoin, I expect there will be more and more large organizations pay more attention to bitcoin.

I think it's big enough to accommodate institutional money and retail investors. And I don't think that someone can manipulate the price before or even the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF. Investors are too much for that right now, we will call it when we see that there are entities from behind trying to control the market. And I do think that the market is going to mature once we see the first Bitcoin ETF approval regardless of who is is going to be.
763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 07, 2024, 09:53:22 AM
Dana White is getting desperate right now, and he looks more stupid with every new fight of Ngannou.
Francis was so scared that he is now fighting with the biggest fighters in the world and he is doing it in boxing Grin
Against Tyson Fury I thought Francis didnt have a chance, but after I watched the last fight I think he can do even more against Anthony Joshua.
I cant wait to see this fight, but even more I want him to see back in MMA.

Joshua vs Ngannou wouldn't be any different from Fury Fight but i think Francis will win this time. AJ was not a big puncher when he was exposed by Ruiz. since this is happening in Saudi again then Francis will be pocketing millions again.

His chances are high because of his power and we all know that AJ chin was broken already by Ruiz and exposed it and now AJ can't take punishment or getting hit in the chin by powerful punchers like in this case, Ngannou.

Maybe AJ will try to run and cover, but if this fight goes to distance, he might not have that stamina just like in the Usyk fight wherein we see him getting tired in the championship rounds and Usyk stealing that important rounds. But if Ngannou like in the Fury fight, hit AJ early, this fight might not go to distance.

And it's all promotion for Casimero to call Inoue, and I think we will not be tired of at least waiting for this fight to happen. Or at least at some point in the future, when Casimero is still at least in his peak, this fight should be made. For sure there will be enough money to generate here specially if the fight is going to be in the US.

Casimero though is not getting any younger, he is in his mid 30's if I'm not mistaken and maybe just one fight we might see him on a decline. But Inoue has other targets, Neri first before Casimero and others can get their chances against the Monster this year.

That is why many are pushing this fight and mostly the promoters are reassuring that this fight will take fruition, for sure John Riel Casimero is really excited he really wants to fight Naoya Inoue for sure, well, even though Casimero doesn't do much against Naoya Inoue's training partner for sure what a boxer know that he can really defeat Inoue then in his mind he really can defeat him, for sure Casimero is really confident that he will win this, and for sure he got a solid trust in him, so why not make this fight happen,

As fans we can also push this fight as much as we want, still up to the promoters to sit down and talk and if this fight make sense specially if there is huge money in the table for everyone and they are satisfied, then it can be made.

Nevertheless, as I have said, Neri will get the first dibs, or we might see Casimero going against rank fighters first because he will have his chance against Inoue. So there's still opportunity for us fans to see this fight, if not this year, then we will have to wait.

I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.

I think it's no secret that if you are out of control of your gambling habits and you don't have the means to pay the people that you loan for, obviously as some point in time when the people that you borrowed money from are your relatives, your relationships will be affected if you don't pay them on time.

So it may haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't pay them. Or at least decide when to quit and stop gambling for good. Maybe some of us have been in this kind of situation before, and maybe we did get out of our addiction and mend our relationships with our family members. But there could still be knee deep with debts and loans from their gambling addiction and can't get out.

767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles on: January 05, 2024, 11:09:55 PM
One day I saw an old man of seventy [70] years old in gambling center were we bet for soccer predictions gambling bet, and I interviewed the old man that his age that why is it gambling up this age, and many people who don't know me was like wondering why I interviewed the man and some said why I mine questioning the man that gambling is a game of personal interest.so what I to ask a gambler is that what age should someone who is a gambler supposed to reach before the person retire in gambling or is it advisable for someone to continue to gamble until death separate us with gambling.

As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.

There's no age limit, 2 days ago I went into a land base casinos and I see some commotion, it turns out that an old lady might have fallen down. She has a walking stick by the way, but maybe due to her age, she could stumbled or something.

But the point is that even at that age, at that disability, she still continue to play and enjoy just like the rest of us. So as long as you can play, have the money and have someone in your side if you go to landbase casinos or have guide or even nurses to accompany you, then you can play till the rest of your natural life.

In terms of split, I think Casimero would not mind if he will get a small percentage of the total. His goal now is to prove to the world that he could beat Inoue, he isn't a champion anymore so it's already an opportunity if Inoue will fight him.
That's the typical Casimero that everyone knows. He don't mind about the split as long as he gets the match that he likes and able to prove himself that stronger than the other. His angst and stance in beating Inoue is always voiced out by him.

The real jackpot price here is if he beats Inoue, that would certainly make the world recognize Casimero as the best in the Super Bantamweight, and all Inoue's hype will die, which I think there's a lot at stake for Inoue in this fight, and I would understand if he would not fight Casimero because the latter has a decent chance of beating him.
And of course, he's the first one to beat Inoue but I don't think that it is going to be an easy task for him. Inoue had beaten the good other fellow boxers of Casimero like Donaire and the recent one, Tapales.

So, it's like he's carrying a huge burden on his shoulder that he shouldn't disappoint.

And it's all promotion for Casimero to call Inoue, and I think we will not be tired of at least waiting for this fight to happen. Or at least at some point in the future, when Casimero is still at least in his peak, this fight should be made. For sure there will be enough money to generate here specially if the fight is going to be in the US.

769  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Kickstart January in style on: January 03, 2024, 12:59:55 PM
This could be part of the buy the rumor sell the news strategy. The approval is not happening yet. But it seems the rumor is strongly on the side of approval rather than rejection. Many are probably bullish because of this. Ads about Bitcoin are rising here and there. There are reasons to believe that institutional money is coming in soon. So it's wise to just start the buying now.

The difference this time is that they might not really sell the news because the upcoming halving will still have to be factored in. The season is bullish but there's a more bullish season to come.

I do agree, I might be thinking that there is some kind of manipulation as the the price hike doesn't look like organic to me that at the start of the year the price goes off to $45,000. And it might be true, as we had a minor correction to $41,000-$42,000.

So most likely t hey have used the strategy of "buy the rumor, sell the news" strategy and it is still effective as they used the approval of ETF to sell it, and then somewhat manipulated and then pushed the price to $45,000 sell during it's hype and make a lot of money. So very effective strategy for this entities at the start of the year.

My 2024 btc plan with which I will start my 2024 year the following months possible btc low and high we will see later. as we know according to btc the market moves on the following prices I buy or sell according to the correct %.
January 37500- 43000

We've already on the $45,000++ right now, just the 3rd day of the month and it seems the Bitcoin market is very bullish. But if this price prediction is till the end of the month and then we will see how it goes.

But as I type this reply, the market is in read right now, and there is a correction to $41,000 and so it looks like there is manipulation from behind as evidently, they have sold already and make a good profits. But we will see, we are still in the beginning of them month and so we might go to $45,000 again or trade sideways, but your prediction for this month is still achievable.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Pacquiao vs. Buakaw - April 20 on: January 03, 2024, 10:39:30 AM
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.

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.

Maybe Manny just wanted to be active in 2024, after all, boxing did great for him, and that's why he still prefer to fight even after his retirement. And with the reports of how much money he can earn fighting Buakaw, I wouldn't be surprised that him and Floyd are going to fight late this year for one of the biggest fight.

So don't be confused, Pacquiao s Buakaw first in April and then I reckon that in the last quarter of this year, Manny vs Floyd.

And you can also say that to Mayweather as well, no retirement for him, just continue to box and make money.
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss! on: January 03, 2024, 10:17:00 AM
There is a video of Casimero recently that he talks about Inoue. It's the usual though, John Riel said that if he lands his power on Inoue, he will definitely go to the canvass. So Casimero is already hyping the fight and who knows, maybe he will be given the first chance here.

However, Neri seems to be the front runner for Inoue and I think everyone wanted to see this fight as well. We are curious as how Neri's style can go against Inoue and he has power as well. And as we can see in the Tapales fight, Marlon did hit Naoya with some good shot. So if someone like Casimero or Neri can do that to Inoue, it might be a different fight or outcome.
773  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for January on: January 02, 2024, 08:54:20 PM
Well if we see that the price is going up because of some news or investors pouring their money already this early in anticipation of bitcoin block halving, then I will say that we might be in a bull run already.

I know it's too early to call, but this set of new investors are kindly different, I mean they are really ready to pounce on the market anytime and pump the price (FOMO), and this could infectious to other investors as well that's why in the first 2 days of January the price reaches $45,000.
774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin have behaved like a fine wine 🍷 on: January 02, 2024, 11:37:45 AM
Bitcoin is really a fine wine,🍷 because it gets better with age, since it creation, it has progress significantly into an asset that is worth having,  from the days when it's value was not even up to $100 to now that it's over $42000 plus, I just believe that after this next halving it will gets even better, and now is the best time to DCA into Bitcoin, because the reward will be worthy of the wait.

Right now, it's just a 14 years old teenager still trying to find it feet in terms of adoption all over the world.
But am really confidence that it will get even better from it value, popularity and adoption because it's a fine wine 🍷 that gets better with age.

I think just like most other assets, they developed overtime like Gold. But the thing with Bitcoin though is that it is the first, the prime mover and so everyone jump on the bandwagon and it's throughout it's young infancy, and as far as the price goes it has developed and now we are entering another block halving, and so for sure we will be looking for a new all time high again.

Let's see in the next 14 years, and yes maybe it will really grow as we expected and the value itself will be like in the 6 digits, or as you describe it, a fine wine, a highest quality crypto.
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather vs Pacquiao II on: January 02, 2024, 11:09:07 AM
It seems that Pacquiao is loaded with matches this 2024. Looking at his perspective, this is literally a prosperous new year for him. Whilst for both of them, there is nothing to prove anymore on their ends. This is an exhibition and if Pacquiao wins on this match, Floyd will just say it is fine and it is an exhibition but will he allow that to happen since he is undefeated and I think that even with this type of match, he is serious about it. IMHO, both are winners when these matches comes because they will baghold sums of money in here as they are still in demand and they have global fans that are willing to watch and wait for this match. I want to see Pacquiao win even for this exhibition because for sure that he is too eager to beat Floyd even with just honor that is on stake and about the share, I guess it is still Floyd that has a larger cut for the sales.

The Buakaw fight is just coming soon and here Pacquiao is talking about the Mayweather fight, and so is Mayweather the Gotti fight is not yet happening and now he is booked to fight Pacquiao, people will be more interested in this fight than any exhibition fight that happens in the past, and that includes all the Paul brother fights.
In the past when a boxer retires he will just manage boxers or set up a gym so he can continue to practice his boxing skills, but not anymore now, if you're a popular champion who just retired you can still make money from doing exhibition matches.

Maybe at early this year they already have negotiation about this match up and they have good insights that Mayweather would agree since Pacquiao already said that match will going to happen. For sure he will not release that statement if there's no discussion happened for both camp so this is really more exciting since many people want this match up to happen since they have unfinished business that need to settle since their fans keep debating on who is more stronger than them. Pacquiao fans is not done yet with certain discussion even if Pacquiao lose on their first meet up since they are not been impressed for the result shown. But know maybe it can seal the long time discussion and both of them can prove that they are more better compare to what other fans say on both of them. For sure this will be one of the dream fight which every boxer fans to watch.

I think it will happen, there's too much money in the table that this two can't refused. Just a matter of timing and the availability of Manny and Floyd. Yes, even if this is just an exhibition match and not the rematch that we wanted, still many fans around the world is going to watch it.

Their communications could be open for all we know and they could have been talking already. I think the Buakaw could be a tune up fight for Manny, and with a good money and the offer and terms is so attractive that he accepted it easily. And then after this fight and if he wins, then we can say that it could be a guarantee that Floyd will be next for him maybe in the middle of the year.
776  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price $45k by ending of 2023: AI prediction on: January 02, 2024, 09:43:38 AM
Good predictions By the AI prediction tools though it happened today, a few days after the end of 2023 December 31st they predicted, but eventually, it was actually a good timing. However, this is not enough reason to rely on this AI for accuracy and doesn't mean they can't be wrong as well, we need to see more of accurate predictions like this in the future to ascertain their credibility. I will only use such AI tools as an aid to my market analysis, but not to rely totally on this AI tools in taking market decisions.

Yes, as I said before, it was very close, but fortunately, at the start of the year, with all the bullish sentiments all over the crypto market, suddenly we hit $45,000 and even higher. So with the way it looks, it seems that the AI is on the dot, also it's off like a day or two with it's own prediction.

Nevertheless, AI or not, the market seems to be going though to this price. As we all know, this bullishness is because of the Bitcoin ETF approval that everyone is expecting this month. And so they jump on the market already for this big anticipation.
777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is better, parlay or teaser bet? on: January 02, 2024, 07:55:36 AM
Statistically speaking parlay bets are significantly more difficult to win and (as always) previous results do not influence future results! So even if you have the chance to win 1 each 10 this not means you can achieve such results.
I would always focus on "single" bets, on exchanges, live. The possibility of defeat is reduced and it is very easy to control the trend of a market.

You're right and with that I'm thinking that there's no better than the two, I mean statistically it will be against us gamblers. And that's why I do agree with you that single bet might be the good choice and you can even get as high as 2.x for a single bet in you got the underdog right.

Regardless, I have nothing against those who bet on parlay or teaser bet, perhaps they are that type of gamblers who wanted higher odds and so big risk. And we even have a thread that someone become a millionaire with a parlay bet with a just a small amount that he hit everything.
778  Economy / Speculation / Re: 112 days waiting for bitcoin halving!! on: January 01, 2024, 10:41:31 PM
Looks like 1 long year has passed, and we said goodbye to 2023 and entered the new year 2024. We are only waiting for 2024 for Bitcoin because this year is going to be one of the best year for Bitcoin. Where the block reward of Bitcoin will decrease from BTC6.25 to BTC3.125 and at that time we will see more demand for Bitcoin, and expect a gradual change in the Bitcoin market.
As Bitcoin halving is only 112 days away, we are looking forward to that time. All bitcoin investors only wait for bitcoin bull season. And the bull season usually starts after the halving as we know it, so I think there is a golden opportunity right now to just hodl Bitcoin.
All bitcoiners get ready to hodl your BTC success is waiting for you ahead.

Just don't wait for it, definitely it will come, the more you wait, the longer it will be tough on it. So let the ecosystem do it's normal flow and sooner or later we will be on bitcoin halving and next thing you know we will be in the bull run.

On the other hand, the best thing to do is just to continue to accumulate as this point. Others might think that the price is too expensive. But if you look long term and in the next bull run and new all time high in 2025, you can still make a good profit out of it.

@suzanne5223 - not sure if there is a exact date or time of the halving, as the average time to get a block to confirmed varies every 14 days if I'm not mistaken. So every countdown is different, just +/- days.
779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health concern on: January 01, 2024, 03:06:31 PM
It's New Year here in our country and I happened to bump into an old friend who narrated a story about how he almost suffered a heart attack after he won a big amount of money in a casino, this was several months ago, he's lucky that his son was around at that time so he got the right treatment at the right time.

He did not know that his hypertension had gotten worse since he can gamble even if he has this, he is taking medicines and doing relaxation but big winnings must have triggered this.

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?

This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.

As per data though, "is the number one risk factor for death globally, affecting more than 1 billion people".

https://world-heart-federation.org/what-we-do/hypertension

So that is a huge number so everyone should be very careful of their health when we gamble specially in cases like this wherein you will really gets excited after winning such big amount. As for me, yes I know the status of my health and luckily it's not one illness that I have.

But obviously, even if we are not gambling, and specially if we are getting older, we should be concern of our health and we should visit a doctor even if we don't feel anything wrong, just to make sure.

It depends, as far as I can remember, Stake has bugs@stake.com.

So you didn't mentioned what casino you have found the bug if you already found one though. So in any case you have to check with them first, maybe through their support or if they have official email or even to their official social media account.

This is also a good question as no one has compiled as far as I know, how someone can report and go with a bug bounty.
