UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Gamrot

Yay! Finally a really exciting fight, almost guaranteed not to be boring. I'm heavily biased on this one as Gamrot is my compatriot and I like his character, but I think, objectively, he has what it takes to defeat Fiziev. Gamrot likes fighting in Las Vegas, he fought and won 5 times there, his wrestling is obviously superior to Fiziev's and he's experienced enough to withstand the pressure.
It's an important fight for both of them, winning this one will open the door to fight guys from the top 5, meaning big money fights.

They are both smart fighters but I think Fiziev is more well rounded. If Gamrot even bring this fight to the ground, he will struggle to keep up while Fiziev dominate the fight to which Gamrot would better prefer foot on the ground.

UFC is giving Gamrot a slow climb to the title shot but if he could beat Fiziev, he might just get the shot he needed.

I could only see this fight turn out to be boxing and Fiziev being the fast KOs Gamrot.

Not secret but not broadcast either, its nobodys business but your own really much like many activities.   IF you mean secret from your family especially your wife who you split finances from then yea I would prefer not to have to do that but I understand if many people do avoid that aggravation if its not really needed to do.   The only real reason you have to disclose gambling is when you fail to control or  balance your finances then likely its problem for you and everyone around you unfortunately.
True, the worst problem you can encounter is getting addicted to gambling and losing a lot of money because of it which can lead to real trouble. IMO the best thing to do is to be open with your family and your tell about your gambling activities and you shouldn't hide it. Things tend to get worse when you hide such stuffs like that and if they find out, it can lead to a lot of troubles, sometimes even resulting in divorce or major problems within your family.

Of course when you defaulted utility bills, its definitely time to pause and think through. But as long as you manages to make it and you spend the money that your wife has allocated for you, there is no need for her to know how you spend the money or your gambling activity.

Wives talk to other wives. They even talk how big your dick is. So your habit is just another that will make them despise you.

Its not a violation to thr rules in the forum if you share the link. Just let the people know which one are you talking about winc eyou already send out the warning.

Not allowing users to withdraw unless KYC is submitted had been going on since. But allowing the banned countries is very sketchy to begin with.
764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Stevenson vs De Los Santos - Nov 16 on: September 18, 2023, 06:35:00 PM

Shakur is a top-level which many had turned down fighting him, even Loma and Isaac Cruz but I think DLS can handle him. Though Santos can hurt with just jabs, he hasn't fought someone with skills like Shakur.

De Los Santos is younger with 1 loss, so losing another isn't as frightening as the first for him. He's got his run though but Shakur could stop him from picking up while he is still trying to climb up.
Its too unprofessional for some backer to back-out especially if there’s already a schedule of the fight, well if they are afraid of Shakur then better not to accept the offer in the place this. Anyway, this is still a good replacement and yes De Los Santos can bring a good fight with Shakur, there might be problem with his strategy of fighting, there’s still time to prepare though. Still looking for Shakur here to win the match, he’s really a good fighter.

It's all verbal if I'm not mistaken, when it was announced that a Martin vs Shakur was reach, there is no sign agreement yet, but just say Yes without any contract.
I'm not defending Martin, but there are boxers as well who ducked and for sure it will put a stigma on them, just like what Martin name is right now, synonyms of avoiding or ducking Shakur.


Few boxers nowadays are willing to face opponents as long as they meet the weight requirements. Most of them have become more strategic, understanding that a loss can significantly hinder their future goals. They carefully choose their opponents. In Martin's case, he likely realizes that his chances against Shakur are very slim. He cannot afford to take that gamble, so perhaps he understands that it's not yet the right time. He doesn't want his career to end prematurely.

They have their reasons, mostly ducking and afraid of losing but there is more to it. Or there's the discussion about the cut.  Champs are also picking who to fight so it's pretty common to refuse if they are not mandated. Martin is a better contender than Santos imo. It's a wonder he hasn't gotten a belt yet.

For the sake of providing entertainment at his expense, just give a salute to Santos and his brave soul. This is going to be a dominated fight showing off the agility of Shakur.

Indeed, more gamblers who initially kept their gambling activities secret were revealed after their finances started to get messy and involved people around them. It's like borrowing from friends and family just to gamble with the assumption that it will pay off when you get a monthly salary or win from gambling.
and of course it will disrupt the family's finances. and it would be very bad if such gambling activities continued. forcing yourself to continue playing even though you have run out of capital.

In fact, it's also a good idea for the family to know about the gambling activities we do. at least our wife. So there is a clear allocation of money for household needs and also for playing at the casino. Maybe when we provide good understanding, family can actually be a control so that we don't lose too much beyond the limits of our abilities.
That's right, an addicted gambler will do anything to be able to gamble, I once saw an addict who looked very anxious and confused, financially he was previously well off and his family looked happy. However, the more I got here, I started to think that he was an addict because what I saw before was now the opposite, his family was also feeling the impact. And it can be concluded that it is very terrible if someone is addicted without realizing it, he will lose all his possessions and this can cause problems for himself and his family.
The impacts experienced by gambling addicts will be felt by those closest to them or their families. Therefore, if they have gambling activities, they should talk to the people closest to them to find out about it and help control their finances. If the person is married, he can control his finances because he has a wife/husband who will help him so he doesn't experience gambling problems. But it's a different story if the husband/wife finally sees that gambling is fun and joins in gambling too. That will cause big problems for the household because they might get involved in a serious gambling addiction without self-control. So if someone can control himself and knows his limits, he can hide his gambling activities from others. But if not, he can talk to other people about his gambling activities and ask for help to control his gambling activities.

So now even his family is judging him.

Of all the people in the world who you think will not look at your faults will not see you with disappointment. Let's say they (the family) audit the amount you lost in gambling because after all, they know you are playing all the time. They may think right now that, you could have bought a Tesla car with the amount instead of just playing.  Grin

Now they may visit your apartment from time to time checking you whether you play as to not let them know you gambling habits.


766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When the fun stops on: September 18, 2023, 03:38:08 PM
You obviously won't be entertained when you lose money and when you lose all your capital, that's when the fun stops.

For the users in the forum who promote casinos, taking a break would mean losing opportunities as well. There is more to continuously playing than taking a break. For me, I think I'm about to make a big win and I can also feel there will be a sharp spike in prices, the economy will get better so it's a happy times already.

 I was really confused about the result surely Shevchenko also did a great job in getting those takedowns and those heavy hits she even got 1 round for herself but I am not really an expert in analyzing the fight but for sure it was really a close one and they say that Mike Bell had a controversial judging because he gave a 10 - 8  score on the 5th round for Alexa Grasso but if he gives a 10 - 9 score the championship belt will definitely go to Valentina Shevchenko for sure Shevchenko will have another complaint about the result and she should have won the fight but for sure that sparring with guys are real for Shevchenko  because she got a pretty muscular physique right now,
The judging was shady and there should be some sort of investigation into how they scored the bout as there is no way Alexa Grasso is winning the 5th round 10 - 8 and if not for that stupid judging decision Valentina Shevchenko would have retained the title. Now the UFC needs to reschedule the fight once again as it was a really close fight and i was surprised with the striking of Alexa Grasso and overall it is one of the best fights in Women MMA.

I very much agree and also like Valentina Shevchenko's argument, this draw was given to her because it was a special Mexican holiday. They do not want to disappoint the Mexican fans hehehe. Also, how powerful is the Mexican cartel in Las Vegas?

I would agree on the split decision, however, it should be a split decision for Shevchenko. The corruption appears to be starting in the UFC also.


I think it happens most of the time. A champ can request a fight to be in his country and most of the time the judges sccores him favorably.

A more disappoiting fight was Kevin vs Maddalena, he was just shitting around and making it funny while his ass literally kicked. He isn't even trying to win. I bet he'd also raise his hand giving a thumbs up while getting choked.

Banks in 3rd world countries are often working late when it comes to adoption. Banks in my country does allow paypal to be connected to our accounts but Paypal is not widely adopted in my country. When people make transactions its still bank to bank or cash.

BTC may not be banned but still not wide adopted. I don't think BTC is even widely used in the first world countries. Its mostly to people with money and acess to financial investments.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Experience for new and old gambler? on: September 18, 2023, 02:58:06 AM
Depends. I think it's easier to break with gambling addiction for old-school gamblers because there are so many things to do that will keep us busy. Today, we can work at home, get a helper, laundries are easier, cooking is way faster, we can also just get a food delivery to avoid cooking, and more equipment that makes life easier so we have lots of time to gamble. So, I think the era today where we use online gambling is more prone to addiction than it was before. A husband doesn't even need to make it a secret anymore because he can do it at home, no more sneaking out at night just to gamble, all he needs is a computer/phone and internet access, and voila, he can play.
Also, because of the wide range of games today like slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, etc.... getting bored in gambling is non-existent as long as you have money.

Thats for a bachelor who has no responsibilities and just sleep and work.
But that seem to be an excuse to gamble when there are lots of responsibilities especially for a family man.

If one gets addicted already either he is a single or have a family, its gonna be hard whichever he is. So before that ever happens, someone has to intervene like the father or the son. It would be awful for him.
770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: September 17, 2023, 07:47:01 PM
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/28/ads-for-online-gambling-should-be-banned-in-australia-within-three-years-inquiry-recommends

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?

Australian laws should have no effect on a global forum. I don't see how they can enforce this in their country without resorting to widespread censorship of the internet. Gambling ads are everywhere. Maybe they will just ban gambling entirely, that way even if a user clicks on an ad or visits a casino site after watching a video ad the domain will be blocked by their ISP.

I’m sure they would just follow Canada’s lead and start censoring websites from their citizens. It’s pretty crazy that this is happening to be honest but at least people still have the option to use VPNs for now. I’m sure someday in the not too distant future these countries will start making VPN use illegal.

Few people can access casinos then. It is time these casinos also will find ways to start having a version of their site for each country like Stake.ca Yep Stake has it ready I guess they are seeing it happening already.  It must be a premium domain to buy. 

Australia was the first and then Canada. It's somewhat easier to track gamblers and crypto users if each country will be doing it this way. Stake seems to be ready to comply.
771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keeping or recovering seed phrases during or after a natural disaster. on: September 17, 2023, 06:55:10 PM
Hardware wallets, notes written on paper, seeds stored in special safes at home. You can lose all this very quickly due to natural disasters. The only thing you can do is to increase the storage space. If you have houses in different cities or if your parents live there, you can store your seeds there or you can do the healthiest thing and rent physical safes in banks and distribute your seeds to your safes in banks in more than one city. I never thought i would use banks in this way for security reasons Smiley

But with the recent disasters we have experienced, we may think that the best thing would be to divide the seeds and distribute them to different places rather than storing them in one place. The safest method i can think of is to store the seeds in bank vaults in different cities and store them in more than one place rather than in one place.
Depends on how you store them. You can't really lose it if you store it carefully. If you write it on a piece of paper and store it at your house, yes there is a good chance that you could lose it with a natural disaster, like floods would take it away and you will never have access to it.

But, if you could end up putting it in a few different places, far apart from each other, that would be a lot better for you without a doubt. I get that it is not going to be something that would be easy to handle, but you just have to handle it a bit differently. I get that it is going to be something that we can care on the long run, hopefully it will be doing something that would make sense if you could do it that way.

These disasters are alarming. Conspiracy theorists are up to make several stories about it. It's very believable especially when Oprah hired his own firefighters before the fire started.  Grin

We'd likely have a safer seed if we do it this way. Sort of a redundant way but keep the paper in a tight container, no water can get in.
I live in the lower area where food could strike any moment actually so I shared my seed with my sister who lives on top of the mountain. I just hope she won't spend it all or lose the seed she kept for me. If I die from any disaster, it's hers.

772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free spins are also a demo in disguise? on: September 17, 2023, 06:00:49 PM
Are there really free slots? In a way, yes. Things get tricky here, though. There are a lot of websites that give these free spins as a promotion, or "bait." I don't think the "free" spins are always rigged, but I do think they are controlled some.

The similar results you and your friends got? I wasn't surprised at all. It's been seen too many times. Even though the results aren't really demos, they're often meant to give you a taste of what's to come without actually serving it. Yes, they usually ask for a tip before you can bet. It's a sneaky way for them to keep you locked up. After all, casinos would go out of business very quickly if free spins were really that good. Remember that the house wants your money more than you do.


Betfury roulette spin if you have tried it is rigged. It always lands on the token that has no value at all. There couldn't be more rigged than that. The token is just there to make you believe you can play on their casino and you lose nothing if those FUNFURY tokens are the ones you are going to use. I think the free spin promo was over though, the last time I checked.

But I guess it made me go there to try out the demo in order to experience the feel of their casino. If any felt lucky, maybe there are good signups and depositors in the casino so they have lured well.
773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: September 17, 2023, 05:45:25 PM
Yes, there are many points that completely coincide. I don’t play or place bets if I’m tired,this has already been proven more than once. The result will most often be only negative. First of all, you must be in the mood and strength, then you can do it. If the event is of a global scale, then I can ask my friends to place a bet for me in advance, but not for a large amount, just as much as I am willing to spend.

Well, this has to do with something with your readiness and not just that you are tired and you will lose. This is no logic.

Yes. when you are fresh, you will think more before placing the bet, you will research more and therefore the chances of winning the bet will increase as compared to a situation where you are tired and just place the bet. Although there is no hard and fast rule, that you will win the bet only when you are fresh and energetic, you can still lose the bet in both situations.

Of course, that is how you do it because in betting, even if it's just a sports-betting, it still requires analyzations and comparison of datum to minimize risks while increasing your chances. So, if you're already tired for the day then there should be no reason for you to bet even if you can still afford it as you will just be prone to a defeat because you are not in 100 percent condition. A lot of factors should be considered in betting, hence why gamblers should be ready for everything.

It must be the eagerness to win that causes the person to stay up despite being tired for the day. Maybe if he wins, he will be more alive. But obviously, you are just pushing yourself way too much when you keep playing while tired.

Some people however just sleep right next to their laptop. They even keep the news play up all night on youtube while asleep. And the moment they wake up, it's the price of BTC that they first check.
774  Economy / Speculation / Re: The time has finally come...??? on: September 17, 2023, 05:14:43 PM
Most of the studies we have seen suggest that the Bitcoin market will touch $100,000 when a new bull market begins. As we can see right now how the bitcoin market has not pumped as much as we expected, it has gone double opposite. However, we can expect to see Bitcoin (BTC) price at this level when the Bitcoin halving is possible.

$500k seems like an impossible price for bitcoin to reach for this bull market but $100k looks possible because it isn't far from the previous all time high of $69 but I think bitcoin getting to only $100k is poor and I'm expecting another $50k to which will make the price go to $150k for the new all time high and that's my prediction. Bitcoin has always made a bigger all time high than the previous bull  market and I'm thinking the next bull market won't be different.

When we predict the next all time year it won't make any sense if we haven't bought some Bitcoin to our private wallet so we can benefit from the price increase. All individuals in this thread making the prediction of the next price should invest in bitcoin so they can profit.

Its much more than $150K, probably more than $250k if the bull run starts this year end. The bull market may really blow up before even halving as what others had been expecting and there are several indicators that also signal it. Also there are promotions already started just a week ago like the Singapore Token2049 where leading crypto companies are having conferences.

The crypto bull market so they say will be led by Asian countries this 2024. I think its about to start as the global market is in decline and crypto is rising.
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino features you like and Don't like but you don't mind on: September 17, 2023, 04:31:18 PM
I like when the casino not charge any fee during withdrawal, so this make me not hesitant to withdraw my money because I always check the mempool before making a withdrawal, if it's different the casino is charging additional fee.

I don't like casino that not give a complete terms about their promotions, they're just use something that will attract many people but the promotions are actually not worth it.

We who have been gambling for some time know that promotions always have vague terms, there is always a catch unless they are just giveaways.

There are casinos offering free withdrawal fees like the Bitcasino, a gambler would want to be there compared to a casino that has a dynamic fee for it. If they only have sports, they may really have more users there. I think about how much they could save if they withdraw funds over 10 times in a month, it would accumulate higher if the casino is not using segwit. But this may also lead the casino to shoulder the fees for it.

There will be a 3rd fight. If I am to score it Shevchenko seems to have made it especially because she caused Grasso's cut and made a significant heavy blow. By discounting the knees made by Grasso while Shevchenko's hand touches the ground, it would appear Chenko won the fight.

There is no way the 5th could be 10-8 but I guess they consider giving the favor to Grasso after all it is Mexico's independence day so let it be settled in the 3rd match.  Grin

One that I like about one casino is that it accepts a token that others don't. And because I earn the token by staking, it will be my preferred token to spend in a casino. And this favorite casino doesn't need KYC and email verification to withdraw, it just approves fast which made me stay. 
This casino however doesn't have sports betting that is why I'm going to Stake.com which has it and still accepts the token. I can move tokens from my fav to Stake.

I see that there are a lot of women's fights, Tracy Cortez is 29 years old and was born in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. She started her professional career in 2017, she has had 6 years of professional career and in those 6 years of her professional career she had 11 fights of which she won 10 fights, in other words, Tracy Cortez only lost once in her entire professional career, she won the Melissa Gatto at UFC 274. On the other side of this fight we have Jasmine Jasudavicius who is 34 years old and was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. She has 4 years of professional career and in these 4 years of professional career she had 11 fights of which she won in 9 fights and lost in only 2 fights. She achieved 6 victories by decision, 1 by submission and 2 by knockout. In my opinion, she will win this fight

Lupita Godínez who is 30 years old and was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico. She has 5 years of professional career, in these 5 years of professional career she had 13 fights of which she won 10 fights and lost 3 fights. Lupita Godínez beat Emily Ducote at UFC Fight Night 223 and then at UFC 287 she beat Cynthia Calvillo. On the other side we have your opponent in this fight, Elise Reed, who is also 30 years old and was born in Sacramento, California, United States. She has 4 years of professional career in which she had 10 fights of which she won 7 fights and lost in 3 fights, at UFC 284 she lost in the fight against Konklak Suphisara. In my opinion, Lupita Godínez would win this fight

Alexa Grasso is 30 years old and was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. She has been a professional fighter for 11 years, and in those 11 years as a professional fighter she had 19 fights of which she won 16 fights and only lost 3 fights. she achieved 10 victories by decision, 4 victories by knockout, 2 victories by submission. at UFC 285 she won the fight against Valentina Shevchenkvo. And speaking of Valentina Shevchenko, she is 35 years old and was born in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. She has 20 years of professional career, something quite unbelievable, she is very old in the world of fights and at this age of 35, chasing revenge shouldn't be a good way, maybe it would make you think about retiring, but in recent times fighters they no longer think about retiring so early, because they have already seen that they can live by drinking a lot, living with great intensity and posting on social media and with little training and they will still be fighting and will be the center of attention because today the fights are accompanied by the big marketing. In my opinion, I see Valentina Shevchenko winning this time and regaining her belt

Shevchenko losing by Submission will make her try another. It was frustrating for her when she couldn't carry out kicks against Grasso. It really was effective to switch southpaw against her.

As long as Grasso can prevent Shevchenko from taking her down and keep the fight in boxing, Grasso will still win the fight. Same strategy as the first I think but they both are just going to wait for a mistake and jump right into it.

My best advice stay only with BTC but put a bit on memecoin, something that you can laugh for when you get a ton of profit. Some may not actually agree but for me, as long as its price goes up the opportunity is there. Dogecoin is still among the top coins.

Eventually, you will see which of the altcoins today will have a higher price in the next bear market. You could only say, "I totally missed 2024's boom." There's always something to regret when you know you will have to spend more to achieve more.
