News circulated about Usyk healing from his injuries and needing 14 weeks for his full training camp. And then Fury's camp said they will sue Usyk if he won't fight on December 23? And then before the Fury-Ngannou fight Usyk said that he would be ready by December 23 then. And now it is Fury's camp that does not want a December 23rd date? What a shame!

Krassyuk revealed that they actually set up a training camp in Spain. This is the second time that Fury refuses to fight Usyk upon knowing that the Ukrainian already started training. Fury just wanted to fight an injured and a less-prepared version of Usyk. Maybe they just sue Fury if he won't fight on December 23 because this might not really happen.

Of course, the betting sites' analysts know the real score. Unlike some people and media that can hype and cheap talk knowing they aren't risking huge amounts of money. This is why the betting sites for me are the most reliable when it comes to sports analysis.

1.80 for Fury by KO? Jeez, mate! That's too high. I even wonder if Ngannou has the gas and survives throwing 300 punches in a punching bag for 30 minutes.

Fury ML at 1.05 is too safe since Ngannou will obviously tire. The fight not going the distance is at 1.11 but it is obvious who's not going the distance. Fury by KO/TKO is 1.18 which is the most profitable.

Ngannou has the puncher's chance though and I am hoping for that one.

DAZN has a championship event on the same date. Defending champion O'Shaquie Foster's skills will be tested as he battles KO artist, Eduardo Hernandez who has a 28-KO/TKO streak in his wins.

If you want to enter sports betting then make sure it is your favorite sport. If you are an avid fan of the NBA then it won't be hard for you to follow the teams and players unless you are very busy with your life that you do not have enough time to do extra research. It is hard to win bets if you are just rooting for luck. But you can place very small bets to satisfy your sports betting craving.

At the moment, I cannot watch many games in a day unlike before. Aside from selecting only the games I like to watch which also depends on my availability, I always take a look at the daily results and NBA standing. This way I am familiar with all the 30 teams in general. If we only have limited time then we can focus on 1 or 2 or more teams.

Before starting my bets, I do some simple tasks;
1. I have to know who's home and on the road. I forgot the figures but home teams have a higher winning percentage unless it is a rebuilding team against a playoff team.

2. I have to know if any of the teams played yesterday because it is a big disadvantage especially if they traveled. Be familiar with the map of the US and Toronto which is in Canada. It takes more or less 5 hours by plane from the east coast to the west coast not including the land travel by team bus.

3. Check also if any of the teams are having a winning or losing streaks. Because at times momentum matters too.

4. And last, check the injury reports.

The problem OP is you do not own the money in the bank. You have no right to touch it except for the purpose of your education. Indeed you need to have a proper education in order to learn and understand the proper ways of managing finances. In your situation, you are thinking about gambling and not investing. You're still young, finish your studies since the world has a lot of opportunities for you once you are done with your schooling.

Sooner or later you will understand the world of investing. Bitcoin is a high-risk reward investment which is why you need to invest only what you can afford to lose. You don't borrow money in order to invest in bitcoin. And you don't borrow money if you have no work or business, otherwise, you cannot pay it back.

Yes, you need to be known. Here in this forum, you can take loans without collaterals but you have to be known or have a decent reputation at least. The requirements depend on who you are dealing with. The higher and stricter the requirements the lesser the interest. Lendings and other apps may provide easier access but their interests are high. The lowest loan interest providers are the banks, but you need their presence at their office or you need to have a stable account with them so you can avail of their loan.

So yes it is necessary to be known to take a loan obviously. It's plain and simple, put yourself in a situation as the owner of a lending company or a bank, are you giving loans to those that aren't known? Unless they have legit and verifiable collateral to cover the loans.

The OKC Thunder remained unbeaten at 2-0 after dispatching Donovan Mitchell and his gang. I am feeling the potential of this young team led by Shai Gilgeous Alexander. I noticed SGA during the FIBA how careful he was with his shots, especially during crucial times. Now he is averaging 30 plus points and is above 50% on his field goals.

All are talking about Wemby these days and I heard his NBA debut garnered high television ratings with millions of viewers. Meanwhile, Chet Holmgren is doing his thing in OKC well even if he is not the main man. Earlier against the Cavs, he made 7 huge blacks as his team won big in a close entertaining game.

I believe that moderate gambling means risking money we can only afford to lose. Take for instance Drake, he has an estimated net worth of $250 million, so betting a million or hundreds of thousands of dollars on several occasions is just fine. I also saw some millionaire celebrities showing their bettings on Twitter and they were in thousands of dollars like $50k. Responsible gambling is not about the amount but the percentage of what we have or the liquid assets.

My bets depends on my financial status. If I have a lot of money then I will also increase my regular bets. There's a lot of good stuff to do in life when you have money so I don't think I will have a hard time satisfying my gambling ego when I become rich.

It would've been better for the 76ers if they dealt Harden during the summer so they could fully focus at the start of the season. But the 76ers decided to stall Harden thinking it could get better deals than the current offers. Hopefully, Harden will be traded in the next few weeks.

Nonetheless, Philly played well with its current available roster. Although they lost, newly acquired Kelly Oubre surprised everyone with a solid debut off the bench. While in the winning team, Damian Lillard went hot in his Bucks' debut scoring 39 points.

Tapales went to the US in late August in order to train. So it's 4 months in total until December 26 which is too much for the body. But I am pretty sure his team knows it, they are probably taking some breaks and are only training lightly. Although Tapales already had a lot of sparring sessions with Ancajas and Magsayo. It could be that the plan to transfer to the mountainous Baguio, Philippines is the start of the serious training camp.

Meanwhile, according to veteran writer Joe Koizumi, Inoue's plan is to move up in weight by 2025. If all goes well, he aims to defend his undisputed championship 3 times next year mentioning the names of Nery, Casimero, and Akhmadaliev.

Inoue's Plans

Lol! That's crazy. But during the pandemic where cockfighting was temporarily banned I had my first experiences. My friend's family had a huge backyard and that is where the cockfighting happened. It was my first time seeing cocks wearing their blades fighting. And it was also my first time betting on cockfights while drinking liquor.

But it never came to my mind of a possible police raid. Another friend of mine usually sponsors cockfighting in his place during the pandemic. There was a time they were raided by the police but he was so quick that by the time the police arrived, he was already in his house overlooking the area through the window. When he saw that an old man was the only one who got caught, he went to the police precinct and paid the fines for the release.

It would've been lit to see them fought at 130 or 135. There were really a lot of notable fighters that Pacman wasn't able to fight at 130-135 due to the Top Rank - Golden Boy war. At that time GBP had more popular fighters than TR. But it was also a blessing in disguise because Pacman would've spent years at 130 and 135 facing the likes of Valero, Joan Guzman, Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis, Juan Diaz, Jorge Barrios, and many more. Pacman would've not reached 147 and 154


I was late to notice GBP's card last weekend. By the time I tuned in it was already done. Alexis Rocha is an exciting fighter but he can't hurt his undefeated opponent Giovanni Santillan whose punishing lethal shots proved too much. It was a better match-up than Matchroom's Catterall-Linares.

It would've been nice if Linares made a farewell fight against an easier opponent in Japan where he started his pro career or in his native Venezuela. Linares already lost 4 straight fights. Fights that he was supposed to win if he was in his prime including Haney.

Maybe the best question here is what round Fury obliterates Ngannou. And by the way, Usyk is the king, 4 belts to 1 and he owns the Ring belt.

If Usyk is injured then he should not allow a December 23 date. It's really crazy to see big fights when someone is already injured before the bell rings. It's like last weekend when Volk and Usman were late substitutes where they lost. No matter how they say there were no excuses, any hardcore fans cannot rule out in their minds that they were not at their best during those fights. So hopefully Usyk can set aside his machismo because it's not cool. And for sure Big Belly would love to fight someone injured and with less training time.

Normally I also do not like the large number of days in break. The players and teams have ample time to study and practice but some of them might have lost their focus and adrenaline in their bodies. Momentums will be stopped including the fans' urge and excitement. The only thing that made me somewhat good during this long break were my bets' losing streak.  

Meanwhile, my only remaining bet is on Team Spirit ML over Liquid. Planning to put some bets on GG and BetBoom as well. Betboom against VP, it will be another anticipated match and both teams are capable of winning.

That is really true, there are a lot of so-called specialists and professionals in cockfighting and they're paid a lot. Here cocks from ordinary people range from $20 to the rich's cocks worth thousands of dollars. The Philippines is not a rich country as well and there are a lot of poor people. At least the sport is already banned in Madagascar while in the Philippines it is still very much alive and kicking with so many government officials involved. Maybe it would take time before the ban takes a lasting effect. However, the implementation should be done thoroughly as well. I remember during the pandemic when gatherings weren't allowed and cockfighting was suspended but there were still a lot of secret cockfighting all over the country. And it was also the first time I watched live and bet since I have a friend who owned a big space in their backyard.

This happens when the main player is more of a team player rather than focusing on his own offense. The Nuggets had a well-balanced game earlier. They shot 52.7% from the field and made 41.2% of their threes. And while it is a difficult task already to stop Jokic, he's surrounded by deadly shooters who are also capable of leading the team in offense.

Nice games and results today. After having bad weeks on my DOTA 2 betting, I finally had a great start on my NBA bets. A lot of games tomorrow. I'll be keeping an eye on the most exciting ones. We have the chance to see the new Boston Celtics as they visit the Knicks at MSG. Marcus Smart will start in Memphis as Ja Morant is still serving his suspension and it will be very interesting when they face the Pelicans where Zion is back. Wembanyama has been making headlines for a while now so most fans won't miss his first regular season game as they host Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.

When I play strategic games like Mobile Legends I do not want any unnecessary noise because it distracts me. I guess most people when using their brain do not want distractions as well. But there are other people who have weird ways, I remember during college, I had a friend who loved to study while having music at the same time.

My bad, I noticed this late. You have a point, men mostly watch men's sports which matters when they bet.

You also made me curious about the statistics so I did a little search. Here's some interesting stats I found;
- 64% of gamblers are men while only 36% (7.5% increase since 2015) are women.
- 46% of men into gambling love the more strategic sports betting while almost 50% of the women prefer the more entertaining casino games.
- 46% of men and 42% of women were influenced by gambling ads.
- Gambling posts on social media influenced 56% of women.

Magandang plan yan OP. Same rin ang sagot ko if meron akong family kaso wala pa so all-in muna sa crypto then I will decide what's next sa 2025 or early 2026.

With regards to educational plan which is usually nilalagay lang naman ng mga fund managers sa stocks or maybe yung iba sa bonds and other assets na meron long term potentials. Marami ako mga nakikita sa mga financial groups na losing pa rin investments nila although few years pa lang kadalasan nagrereklamo. Correct me if I am wrong pero 90% if not all ng funds na mapunta sa stocks ay nilalagay lang naman sa mga blue chip companies right? So why not just do it yourself? Libre naman mag open sa mga stock brokers at wala pang requirement na need magdeposit regularly.

Maybe the Big Belly vs Ngannou fight is scripted? However, even without a script, it is still hard to imagine a 37-year-old who has been inactive for nearly 2 years beating a boxing champion in his debut. So Tyson Fury should be fine. My guess earlier is the fight with Usyk should happen before Christmas and New Year's or the fight will be moved to early March onwards.

The expected date is December 23. If Usyk has an injury he rather demand a later date or he will regret losing to Fury with an injury. Just like when his friend Loma lost a close fight to Teofimo Lopez and was only operated after the fight.

There's also a statement from Fury's camp that Usyk can file a case if he won't fight on December 23. It seems like the contract is signed but without a date and Big Belly is the one to decide it. I won't be surprised though if he tries to exploit Usyk again like giving a short notice to shorten the regular training camp.

I took a pass in this fight last weekend. I find Catterall a boring fighter and he was cherry-picking a very old former 3 division champion. Catterall needs an impressive win in order to make trends in the division once again since Taylor already lost and is moving up in weight. But maybe he could get an offer from any of the current champions which I believe he still deserves.

As for Linares, I am glad he announced his retirement. He could've taken an easy fight and then retired for good. He's got great memories in his career. His journey was very inspiring. Venezuelan boxing has less support and sponsorships, the reason it is hard to become a champion or a long-time champion. Luckily for Linares, he started his career in Japan and was signed by Teiken Promotions. With Linares, Chocolatito Gonzales, and Edwin Valero, at the same time, those were the golden days of Teiken having developed foreigners into stardom.
