Guys, what do you think about those famous people in other sports (like UFC, MMA) then suddenly will shift into boxing, not via professional boxing, but as an exhibition match? Or those who are already retired but suddenly will participate in an exhibition match against a non-boxer. It was all started by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and then from there, lots of boxing exhibition matches have been executed.

And the sad part, these people who are participating in exhibition matches are being paid more compared to professional boxers.

Many of my friends say that most of these exhibition fights are happening only for entertainment purposes.
Hence most of the fights are scripted and the fighters are being mega paid to do the fight as per the script.
This is how the sponsors are gaining money and I guess this might be the truth. This is the reason why I don't like exhibition fights.
You're right, really the exhibition fights are not bad but what I don't like is that it's already like a dramatization, they usually do them with iconic boxers, I remember when they were speculating about a possible fight and they had looked for Miker Tyson , that in fact he did not want to, perhaps because of how it is arranged he is not a man to be dramatizing, he is one more type of shock to make a good fight and to give a great show, he only reminded me of the fight of him when he took half an ear off the other boxer, I was small when I saw that, but I remember as if it had been today, it was something I couldn't believe.



For sure, maybe the Paul brothers are just waiting for Manny to make a comeback and then invite them to a fight. But not sure about the weight though, in any case we will have to see.

I am expecting a catch-weight if this happens Grin.   Manny is to light to fight Paul Brothers, they are in a heavier category which is quite too heavy from Manny's division.  If this happens and not a catch-weight fight, this will be very dangerous for Manny.

probably, as Manny's critics will say, he is the king of catchweight during his prime, reign of terror, winning 8 titles in different weight class, I doubt that it can be duplicated.

So yeah, why not fight at a catch weight? not sure who is going to fight him amongst the Paul brothers though. If my memory serves me right, Manny can fight as high as Middleweight, around 158 lbs and that could be the biggest weight that he can go because of his frame. But whatever, if there is a lot of money in the table, for sure there will meet somewhere in the middle to make this fight.


Well, I think that Pacquiao should fight, and the weight category should not exceed 160lb, so he still has a lot to prove, I don't know very well if he is still focused on politics, that's what he does It disconcerts him, and I think it is one of the things that makes him stop with respect to everything that his professional career represents, something like that happened to him when he was going to face Mayweather that practically what he did was run all over the ring, so I think this time he needs to prepare with everything, because not only for his fans but for all the Filipino people who still believe in him and his followers worldwide.

But Christian Ronaldo is not good enough to win this world cup alone for his team because now age factor is also having big impact on him, and he can't do things like which he has done few years back for his team right now if Portugal is going into last eight then surely it's going to be big achievement for them.

Let's see later what tactics and strategies Fernando Santos will use for his Portugal squad. and how he prepares for the Portuguese squad. if santos still uses the same strategy only relying on ronaldo, then i believe that portugal will experience difficulties in every match later.
Portugal actually has a fairly even depth of players, on the attack line there are Diago Jota, Andre Silva, Ronaldo. In the midfield there are Bernardo Silva, Vintinha, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes. In defense there are Nuno Mendes, Pepe, Dalot, Danilo Pereira.  with these players, they should have a chance to get into the top 8.

Spain, France and England are surely best teams with their quality and players those can do something amazing to win this year's event.

Brazil, Argentina, are the best team based on their match statistics and have very talented players. these two teams are the strongest candidates, compared to England or Spain.

Argentina's team is very strong in this World Cup, the youngsters in their team are playing very well. Besides, they have world class players in their team. It seems that this is Messi's last World Cup and everyone will want to at least do something for Messi. However, there is nothing to look down on other teams. We are all waiting for the World Cup.


Good to see it from the point of view of being a good team, yes, it is, I think that Argentina has always been a very good team, I have not seen any Argentine team that is bad, or any bad version, for me this World Cup will be very good because we will see an Argentina that will do the best to win this World Cup, but there is also Brazil, Germany, France and we have to be careful because Croatia is a team that can make a difference, Moric is a player who can spoil the party for anyone team, and let's not forget CR7, which, this will be his last World Cup too, then in most teams the big stars will leave.




Many wonder why they kept insisting on the case of the player from Ecuador, for me the Chilean team is a bad loser, all this triggers many feelings in Ecuadorians and Chileans, for the next qualifiers this will be very interesting because they will become a classic, and the Chileans and Ecuadorians already have a lot of dislike, so now as they favored Ecuador and let him play, this will bring more consequences because they will always look for a way to appeal to the decision, the best thing will be when the World Cup starts, it is the only so that they stop making such a fuss about that player's case.
7643  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 18, 2022, 12:56:05 AM
He needs to win here, but if he losses, there's no other way but to move up in weight, though it will not hype him but IMO, that's the right thing to do for him to be comfortable in maintaining his weight. He will have to start his journey in a new division and hopefully we will continue to support him.

Let's say Jerwin Ancajas will lose here, does it really a good decision to just left that division and moved up?

How can he even get good fights at Super Bantamweight if he is struggling with some of the best fighters in Junior Bantamweight?

If he loses, moving up for me is not a good decision. Start from scratch and have a goal to become a champion again at Junior Bantamweight which is his comfort zone at most points of his career. He dominates that division for several years and I'm sure he can repeat it.

But of course, that was just speculation as I believed he will win here in this rematch against Martinez and then finally move up.

If the problem is weight then definitely he will have to move up because his body can't adapt to this lower weight anymore. And just like what Teo Lopez did, cherry pick a fighter, a boxer that has a good record, but he can easily beat in the fight because he has far more superior skills. It's up to his manager and promotions MP and Sean Gibbons to find him that target in the next weight and work his way up, put up a good string of wins and maybe he will have a crack at the belt again. Jerwin is young so the future is still bright for this kid.

That's the right thing to do, he cannot make the same excuse if he again loses in the rematch, time to move up in weight and try to be a contender for the champions. It's not over yet for Ancajas, he can win here and be a champion, however, it's not easy to beat Martinez, what we saw in the first fight was Martinez is a very dominating boxer, so let's expect that Martinez will start strong and only a good stamina can help Ancajas survive and win.

Yes and Martinez will think that he can beat any version of Jerwin Ancajas. So he won't take anything for granted, and same with Anjacas. If by chance he fall short again, then it's time to him to test the next division. But if he can win then maybe a trilogy or go for the other champion because it seems that everyone wanted to have all the belts unify and clean their respective divisions like Inoue and then we have the rumoured fight between Crawford and Spence for all the belt as well.

Many people are betting that Ancajas has more need to win than Martinez, and since he has more experience and wants to make history again, Matinez is a boxer who has a lot to offer, professional boxing is the best option that has been appreciated for him. be even more professional, one of the things that should move Martinez is that he wants to make a lot of money, he knows that professionally he will get it quickly, with a good fight against Ancajas he can open the doors to fight with much stronger opponents and he can do quick run, then Martinez's motivation is much stronger if we put him on a scale with Ancajas, he wouldn't know who to bet on yet anyway.


We make it a big issue and yet Ancajas can still make it to the weight requirement. I think what Ancajas has to focus is to improve his stamina, it's not the weight that is the problem but his Ancajas because if he gets tired easily, he will lose his power in the later rounds, and that's what happened in their first meeting.

Do you seriously even know what you are talking about? Huh Of course, he reach the weight but are you aware of the process he went through?

Didn't you know that Ancajas' weight problem resulted in a domino effect and one of them is lack of stamina? He is not well-conditioned during his first match with Martinez because he was overtrained just to reach the weight requirement. Another effect is he loses his power because of an obvious reason that he's not in his usual condition due to the training he went through.

It's easy to gain weight but it's hard to burn them. The weigh-in is the day before the fight. How can your body adjust easily within just a day after the intense workout to burn some fats?

I highly agree, that in a match that goes a distance, stamina is the main factor to keep the boxer competitive.  If a boxer is not conditioned due to overtraining, dehydration, and other stuff just to lose weight, his performance is greatly affected.  

During the first match, we see Ancajas in survival mode, he actually tries to survive not to win the fight because of exhaustion.  It is just lucky that Ancajas is a veteran and good fighter that he lasted until the last round.  Hopefully, it will be a different story this rematch.
I think that one of the things that Ancajas can take advantage of is his strong resistance, but we must take into account that Martinez is a very new boxer and that he does not care about anything, he can very well appeal to go out with everything looking for a knockout against him and does not lose anything, the advantage that Martinez has is his excellent physical condition, and Ancajas can manage the times if and only if he leads Martinez to his times and his rhythm, this is something that Martinez cannot fall, and this is something that Martinez could fail, for me Martinez has a lot of accumulated adrenaline, it is a fight against one of the most veteran boxers, he knows that if he wins he will be crowned one of the best boxers, he will not miss that opportunity.

We make it a big issue and yet Ancajas can still make it to the weight requirement. I think what Ancajas has to focus is to improve his stamina, it's not the weight that is the problem but his Ancajas because if he gets tired easily, he will lose his power in the later rounds, and that's what happened in their first meeting.

Hopefully, he will be more prepare compared to their last fight, with enough time to maintain his weight and to have good sets of trainings this upcoming fight would more interesting if Ancajas is inside the ring not just to survive but also to claim back his belt, it's not easy though but Ancajas still have that power and the youth to continue moving forward to this sport.

I think we have discussed that his weight is the biggest issues on him right now, similar to what happen to Casimero. But Ancajas case is different, there is something wrong during this cut that he wasn't able to adapt. Weight cut in one thing, but after the weigh-in, boxers need to replenish their body and based on the article this is where they made the mistake.

Yes agree that Casimero's case is different from Ancajas. Casimero has a medical condition called gastritis, a digestive problem that we all know that it's responsible for properly breaking down foods in our body. That's why even with a proper workout, Casimero's problem is his diet as his body is not cooperating with his target goals.

Ancajas seems doesn't have a medical condition but just struggling to reach the required weight as maybe he is really getting bulky and bigger for his current division. That's why a good nutritionist is necessary and they hired a new one as part of the team that will condition Ancajas until the day of the fight.

Yeah, there's no need forced Ancajas unlike with Casimero who needs to go sauna just to lose some weight which is prohibited by the sports official, We might see more aggressive Ancajas now not just to play defense but looking to see more aggressive counter punches and more aggressive position to box Martinez.
Well, from what I have read, many are in favor of Ancajas, which is not bad at all, only that you have to take into account the trainer that Martinez has for now, I think that Ancajas holds his weight with ease, but boxing is not just weight, many boxers focus on having the ideal weight to be lighter and have more speed, but here he is facing a Martinez who really wants to win and apart from that he knows the face of money well for everything he can generate with good fights, if he is famous he knows that he can earn money, and I think that money in large amounts does not hurt him, then it is a fact that he will leave with everything.

The country in which alcohol is being restricted have allowed to sell beer to the fans. They're allowed to buy beer three hours prior to the Kick off and after the final whistle one hour is allowed. Earlier it was only non alcoholic and now alcoholic beer too is allowed. This news have come out and no official announcement is revealed.

During the month of November the climate will be moderately cool and having a beer will make the fans warm. Qatar have made big changes and getting adopted to the world, so to make FIFA 2022 the best of all time.

Well this is something that is very good, although from my own experience in my country when I went to see the local team against others in the Copa Libertadores, I was about 5 years old when I saw that if they let people in to drink beer, but every time A pretty woman passed by, they poured beer on her and there were many fights, so for these reasons they banned it, and I think that is a cause that is not as serious as others that must be in other countries and all the disorder that will form will be more serious However, for this World Cup, which are already major events, all these scenarios will already be previously studied to avoid them, QATAR is honestly on another level.
FIFA might have made their decision. But the Chileans are saying that they are done with FIFA and will now file an appeal with the CAS. It is getting really tiring now. Why can't these guys just accept the ruling and keep quiet? Less than two months to go for the kickoff and these losers are trying to disrupt the tournament. And since the FIFA appeals committee has found out that the appeal doesn't have any substance, I would recommend that Chile be deducted a few points for the next qualification cycle.
Surely this is the worst thing doing by Chileans because now time is running out, and they need to accept this decision for the sack of sports but as we know Latin America is also having many conflicts which are not easy to allow other country for having prestigious to play into this world cup as soccer is surely matter of life and death in this region with few years back we have a soccer player from Columbia just shot dead for putting ball into his own net during world cup match.

With this mentality we can understand Chileans are surely frustrated and trying their best for having any chance to be in this event which is now nothing for them even they are going into CAS with less than two months remaining and Ecuador is also settled to have their opening game against host nation. I agree, surely they deserve this punishment and having deduction in points could be good lesson for them and many others.

There is something that everyone should know, for Chileans, their first sport is soccer, soccer hurts them a lot but they are not at the level of Brazil, Argentina, which are the titans of South America, at the moment teams like Bolivia, Peru, Ecuadra, Venezuela are teams that are raising their soccer level, they are no longer like before, the more time passes the successor generations are less afraid of these titans, for now what Chile has done is a desperate action to be in Qatar but in a bad way, for me the way they seek to enter is not the right one, here each team earns its place, and the strongest is the one that qualifies, whatever Ecuador is, the tie will start very well, I'm sure that if they had arrived comfortably they would not have bothered them, but since they arrived almost in passing that is why they have taken all that away from them, very bad for the Chileans.
7645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Brasileirão 2022 - Brazilian Championship Serie A on: September 17, 2022, 10:24:47 PM
In this round of the championship we will have some interesting games to bet on, others not so much.

I believe in the match between Corinthians x Internacional will be one of the most competitive of this round.
They are great teams, both are practically in the ""same"" position in the championship, in which this victory could be significant for both, Corinthians and Internacional.

I have already expressed my bet for the game of Corinthians and Internacional in the last post, and I sincerely hope that Internacional will not disappoint me, although I believe that it will really be a very difficult game.
Another interesting match in this round is the dispute between Santos and Goiás that will take place on Monday.... only two points and two positions on the leaderboard separate them from each other.

The truth is that I am not inclined for now to make a very big bet, I would like Internacional to do well, but it is something that depends a lot on them and how they can confront the game, for me they have everything to win , I don't think you will be disappointed, these people know very well what they are playing for and it is the best opportunity to show what they are made of, don't believe it, there are people who don't believe in them, they can get a big surprise, for me Santos It's good, in fact I've seen them play up close, they're really good, I also like it because there's a Venezuelan playing and he really does it very well.
Now how many games are left until the end of the season?

There are 20 teams, with 2 matches against each other, so it's 38 matches total.
All teams played 26 matches until now, and there's 12 remaining.
36 points in dispute for each team.

I like to see the math behind the championship and probabilities

In this year, Palmeiras have to focus on 81 points to have 100% of chances to be the champion, but usually a team needs something like 73 or 74 points to guarantee 1st place.


I saw that several people are curious about the possibilities of Palmeiras or other teams to be champions.

I performed these calculation

Situation
Palmeiras = 54 points
International = 46 points
Flamengo = 45 points
Fluminense = 45 points

We know that:
win = 3 points
Tie = 1 point
Defeat = 0 point

We still have 12 games left to finish the championship, so the maximum amount a team can get until then is 36 points (12 games * 3 points/win)

let's go to practice
If Internacional wins all 12 games (12 games x 3 points/win = 36 points), it will have 82 points (46 points + 36 points = 82 points)

For Palmeiras to reach that amount, they will have to win 10 of the 12 games and get a score of 84 points, with 2 games he can lose.

But for that, Internacional will need to win the 12 games, and Palmeiras will lose 3 games for Internacional to be champion of the Brasileirão

Palmeiras will need to win 10 of the 12 games, that is, they will have to obtain 83.3% of victory from these remaining games.

Well, I know that these calculations I made are not accurate or important, but I made them to have an idea of ​​the possibilities that could happen at the end of this championship!

Thank you very much for those statistics and for all the mathematical approaches you made, without a doubt Palmeiras can be a bit tough for what is to come, I think this is a way to motivate them and make them think only of winning, not drawing Of course, All the math is still missing in case the other teams behind Palmeiras lose, although this is a very minimal possibility, Palmieras at this point must be thinking of defeating any team that comes their way. I really would not like to compete against a Palmeiras with those positions, because I would see him as a hungry lion and eager to have it all.

If Aubameyang isn't a crucial player for Chelsea, Chelsea management won't force them to sign Aubameyang on the last day of the transfer window. If you followed the issue on Chelsea squad, you must know that Chelsea was looking for a strong CF to be the replacement for Lukaku. Chelsea needs a pure CF to score more goals, Aubameyang is a perfect player to solve the crisis in Chelsea attacking line. Anyway, Havertz isn't a pure CF, so he has nothing to do with Aubameyang's position. Don't you understand that Havertz is an attacking midfielder?  Huh
Honestly, I think Aubameyang is a good player on the pitch. Maybe off pitch he has had some issues. I am quite sure he will deliver for Chelsea on the pitch. He is the kind of guy who can fit anywhere, but sort of unlucky not to settle. Look at what happened in Barca last season. He literally saved them from the embarrassment, only for them to push him out.

Aubameyang is a football player who is very successful in his own region on the field. We have to accept this. He went to Barcelona last year and took Barça off the rope in many matches. Frankly, I thought that he would not be successful when he went to Barça, but he made a show in Barça. I am confident that he will be successful at Chelsea as well.

For me it was a very bad move between Barcelona and Aubameyang and this shows me that Barcelona does not have much gratitude towards the player, because it is as you say, when no one wanted to stand up for this team there he was, I don't know, but after Seeing Lewa arrive And after building a team with very great strengths, which even incurred very large debts, and taking him out does not seem to me, however, Chelsea will take advantage of all his talent, for me he will shine much more, and I would like to see a match between Barcelona and Chelsea and if Aubameyang scores a goal it will be something historic and well, for those things they deserve it, they shouldn't have sold it.

What Ronaldo wants is not money, he already has everything when it comes to money. But he still insisted on wanting to play in the Champions League. For a Ronaldo, money is not everything but his prestige on the football stage must continue to shine. That is evidenced by his ambition that offers to every club that plays in the Champions League to be able to take it. Ronaldo doesn't want his reputation to be pursued by Messi, because currently, Messi is still productive and better than Ronaldo in his old age. Therefore Ronaldo was determined not to be left behind.
Messi is in a different league and club competition. we can't compare the two for this.
yes, Ronaldo does not consider money for him. there was even a rumor regarding a lower salary for a club willing to take him.
Ronaldo had stayed at Manchester United last season with poor form from the team. they didn't play in the Champions League this season. but Ronaldo's ambitious attitude seems to make many clubs not too interested in him.
although I believe Ronaldo can still perform quite well, but not sure that he can compete with the young players at this time.
Messi playing in the french league seems alot easier than playing in the Premier league, I feel pitiful for Ronaldo in the premier league, it seems like his career is now crumbling down, he doesn't even get enough playing time and has  barely made the first team for United this season. I still have the feeling that Ronaldo can still perform well in the league not necessarily outshining the other younger players.

I really do not think that CR7 can recover now, for me the only hope that CR7 has is for the World Cup in Qatar, for me it is the only option to raise my head, we all see it from the fubbtolist point of view, and the chaotic +he is not being haunted like this, I think CR7 has been like this since his baby died, it affected him a lot, and that is something that he is showing on the courts, no team wants to have him, he also rejected one that they offered $242 million just because he doesn't want to play in the Arab league, sometimes there are many things that CR7 demonstrates that they teach us all, but there is a possibility, which I read, I don't know if it's true, but it may be the only way that he bug plays, and it is that Spoting Lisboa asks for it and then if he can play in the UCL, but it's all mere speculation, I don't know how real this is.

but there are those who fully trust CR7 and it is their selection:

Ronaldo called up to lead Portugal in Nations League

Without a doubt we will have CR7 commanding the ranks of Portugal, I think he will have the leading role that he has not been able to show.
7647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 17, 2022, 09:09:50 PM
^^ Everyone is after the money, no more legacy or pride or try to be called the best in boxing. And of course there are styles as well, styles that make people buy tickets and wanted to see the fighters live to see how good they are like Tank Davis. But then again, boxing politics will stand in our for us fans to see if this fight is going to be made or not. But it's better for Shakur to just take one step at at a time, beat Robson in a dominant fashion like he did against Oscar Valdez and as I have said, go and unify the belts, we've seen Josh Taylor did it this year and Canelo has done that in 168 lbs. He should chase history first, before pursuing money fights.

If he will win against Robson in their upcoming fight, then its not only history that he will chase but also lots of money will be in his possessions. However, it’s always good to see a good boxer taking one step at a time because that will also give him enough time to master his own boxing skills and enhance what needs to be more develop. As for Shakur, it won’t be hard for him as he has already titles that prove his worth in the ring.

For sure, he is being trained by his grand father Wali Moses, so he is as old school as other trainer as you can get. Meaning, he would rather have his prize pupil to chase history first and not go for the money. Making a name at 130 lbs and having all the belts will be the best thing that Shakur could accomplished. So at least before he goes to the next weight class, he will be respected as he had the 4 belts including the lineal. And then he can go and fight Davis and whoever the champions at 135 lbs.

Yes, 135 is what would be ideal, for me Shalkur is training with everything because he has a lot of motivation and there is nothing better than coming to a fight comfortable but not confident and with great motivation, what you say is true, the grandfather is coming of the old school and despite the fact that there are currently many methods to train and have the fastest and best results, the grandfather can teach him the traditional work with which he was trained for this type of fight, the truth is that I think that type of training it is superior to any other, without underestimating the current methods, they are also family and that gives it a different tint, nothing will be kept for your grandson to learn.

^ how can one could not see the difference of the two by just looking at the odds. Shakur def has the edge of Rob.

Rob is sure gonna be robbed. isn't this irresponsible for wbo and wbc to match robson who lost against valdez and then match to someone who beats valdez?  shakur could fight a p4p and win by KO. robson is not ranked on p4p list.

Robson is ranked number 2 by WBC and WBO, so I don't think it's irresponsible for them to match the champion of their belt at this weight division, against their second best.

And if you have watch the fight between Robson Conceicao vs Oscar Valdez, it was very close, others might have scored it on favor of Robson. But the rest is history, Shakur defeated Valdez and the he is trying to clean up both divisions by fighting the second best rank boxer.

Yup, there are indeed some people who are saying that Robson might have won that fight and base on the judge's score, the gap wasn't far enough to say that Valdez has won dominantly. Although, I've read too that people aren't happy why they are letting Robson face Shakur when in fact Robson lost to Valdez already.

Perhaps that is the sticking point of this match, to see how Robson will fare against Shakur because he almost beat Valdez in their fight. Robson had the numbers but the judges think he didn't do enough to get a nod and win that fight.

Anyway, this is the best chance for Shakur to prove again why he won against Valdez while Robson struggled to do so. As said above, Shakur is having a clean up program.

Or best way for Robson to show us his talent that he can hang with the best version of Shakur. And in the future, if Shakur decided to move up in wight, Robson might have a clear path to fight for the vacant belt.

And on the other hand, if Shakur wins in dominant fashion, as he had said, he is having a hard time making 130 and so he might go up to 135 lbs and face his main target, Tank Davis.
There are many speculations that occur around these two great boxers, for me Shakur is the undisputed favorite, but there is something that I have learned in sports and especially in boxing, it is that we cannot say who is going to win until he wins, So this means that each boxer has their plans, they are well built, the only thing missing is victory, because if not, it is like painting castles in the air, I have seen how boxers have done many ways to put together all their strategies and there is even a calendar, epro if they lose until then things come, the plans go to the ground and things go wrong, with respect to Conceicao, I think he could give a surprise, I don't know, I see him very safe and with a strong training, a very safe boxer It is more dangerous than one that has entered a lot.
7648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 17, 2022, 08:44:06 PM
Obviously this year alone has been almost full of upsets and the famous one is when Canelo lost against Bivol when he is clear the heavy favorite to win over the defending champion of LHW. Haney surely doesn't want to be in the list of upsets that has happened this year or will about to happen, they should look further to avoid that from happening because Kambosos is surely preparing so much for this rematch because he really looks like an amateur boxer in their first encounter.
I do not think that Haney has to worry too much about it, if they were close in terms of technique then there could be some room for worry, but since Haney is so above of Kambosos and this is not something you can learn so quickly the difference between the two should remain wide enough for Haney to get an easy victory, with that being said it is important that Haney still prepares himself properly as we never know what it may happen during a fight.
Well, I have spoken with many friends, who are very fanatical about boxing and they know a lot, they assure me that Haney will have no problems with this fight, but that Kambosos is saved, that is,. he is very low profile, and that we do not know very well what is going on, from Haney we have the information that he is a complete boxer who cannot leave anyone and that he will not leave things to chance, much less leave it in hands of the judges, this indicates that Kambosos has the greatest probability that nothing is expected of him, and I am sure that the majority of bets will be very much in favor of Haney, so the one who can win a lot is him and the one who can losing a lot is Haney if he doesn't win.

^^ Yes, that's one of his biggest mistakes, he didn't let his hands go specially in the early rounds. And it's too late, maybe round 7 when he started to chase Devin, but Haney is already in the zone and comfortable, using his length so that George can't go inside. So if Kambosos will start hot like in the Lopez fight and swarm Haney, then he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, another easy fight for Haney, cruising automatic for a 12 round decision again and a place for a Loma fight next year.

I rather support Haney to win to see a better fight next year vs Loma. hope he will gonna wrap it short in this part 2 against Kambosos. So that he can get ready for his next level opponent we all know Loma is not that easy and he would be in real trouble if he don't fight seriously this time. If he shows some great leveled-up boxing skills in his upcoming fight, then he won't have any problem fighting Loma next year. Haney is just improving and getting ready for the real deal next year.

Same here, but if Kambosos can pull an upset, I think we will still see a good fight between Kambosos and Loma because for sure both fighters are going to give a very entertaining fight. No fighter that is boring, so it's better than Haney vs Loma, however, Kambosos beating Haney is not going to be easy.

I guess either fight will be very entertaining:

1. Loma vs Haney - we will see the best defensive skills in the division against Hi-Tech offense and footwork of Loma.

2. Loma vs Kambosos - George using his aggressiveness and then Loma using again his footwork and try to be as elusive adn find the angles against Kambosos.

So still a win-win for us boxing fans as we will be treated with some of the best boxers in this division.

Yup, either way it is a win for all of boxing fans out there because having Loma in the equation will make the fight more interesting to see that's why it is already expected that there will be a lot of people who will be waiting for this fight because Loma is back on track now.

But before that, there might be a trilogy in the process if in case Kambosos will win this time and that means will have to wait again before any of this speculated fights will happen.

So we will have another trilogy if Kambosos win over Haney in the rematch? Maybe, but there is no clause about it right? Perhaps if we see some highway robbery in Australia, so controversial that there is a huge uproar from the fans all over and demanding that there should be a 3rd fight because George doesn't deserved to get a win. So I'm seeing no trilogy first, and the majority of us, it seems Haney will repeat his performance and then wait for Loma winning his fight.

Well, if Kambosos defeats Haney if there will be a trilogy, that is something that they somehow want or don't want to do, the business model that boxing has if this option is given is very viable, on the other hand, I think that if you don't Da, we would have a good duel of what is coming for Haney from now on, for now I think that Kambosos has many options to win because he is working hard on his training and this is something that has made him known, for me Haney cannot trust, I know Haney has a lot of experience and can handle the timing, but he can't unload the wow factor that Kambosos can offer.

7649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 17, 2022, 07:42:24 PM
Yes AC Milan again shows that they are ready to defend the Scudetto title. Inter Milan must recognize the superiority of AC Milan in the match titled Derbi Milano. Yes they must be willing to lose points after 2 goals from AC Milan in the second half they could not reply. 3-2 is the final score for AC Milan's victory.

AC Milan proved it, it is well known that the derby is one of the best games offered, and I think that all the fans worldwide would not miss it, Inter played with their soul, it cannot be denied, there is a big gap between these two teams, and there may be more talk, but AC Milan are flying, they are doing everything very well, and I think it will not be easy to face them, I don't know, but I think One of the teams that can put up a fight is Roma, they are playing very well and are doing things as Mou tells them, and Mou with his strategies makes the cauqleuire team win. He has already shown it, and that is one of the things that the other teams in Italy should be careful about.

The match between Spezia vs Sampdoria leaves the second half. Both teams are still playing at 1-1. Sampdoria's goal was equalized a minute later due to an own goal from Spezia's player. Indeed, this is a duel of lower teams, so the course of the match tends to be said to be normal. Both teams seem very careful in launching attacks.

The match ended with the score 2 - 1 for Spezia's victory. Although Sampdoria seemed to dominate the game, Spezia proved to them that possession and the number of golden opportunities are not everything.

It can be seen from the shots on goal from both teams that Sampdoria had more chances to score, but they did not take advantage of those opportunities well. While Spezia, although they only got 3 shots on goal, they managed to convert it into a victory. I don't know what happened to Sampdoria, they were even better last season in my opinion.

Well, this was a really good game, I liked it because it was very exciting, and I really liked the way Spezia handled it all, yes, he made those very accurate shots, this usually happens in games where there are They really want to but they can't make it happen, honestly when Sampdoria made all those shots the only thing I thought was that the team was not having any luck, and indeed for me they lost due to lack of luck, sometimes even the luck factor, it has a lot to do with it to win a match of this level, Italian football is one of the best in the world and if this type of event is seen here too, I don't want to imagine what comes next.

Entering the 70th minute, the match between Bologna vs Empoli was still with the score equally strong 0-0. Their game also runs in a draw, no club can be said to dominate this match.
Indeed, this match is a duel of clubs who are still looking for balance, so it is not surprising to see the match going like that. I think it will be an equally strong final score.
Bandinelli managed to bring Empoli to victory after a good goal he made in the 75th minute. The match was fierce, Bologna controlled the match but unfortunately many opportunities were not completed by the Bologna attackers

-  Sassuolo vs Torino match is in progress, I saw both head to head and Torino mostly won. Torino will definitely win in this match (my prediction score is 1-0)


For me, one of the most unfair games is the one that happened to Bologna, I saw that they did everything well but things didn't turn out the way they wanted, but what really silenced me was that goal, and after that I thought they were going to recover, that they were going to tie and that they were going to come back, but things are like that in football, the coach seemed to be very restless, the good thing about having directv is that there are some channels that have other angles Playing the same game, there I could see that the technical director was anxious, I think that this was not the fault of the players, the conditions were simply not there to give a victory, that's how it happens.

In my personal opinion, I think that for now my favorite team is Roma, they are very close to being the first, however there is still a long way to go.
7650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 17, 2022, 07:07:34 PM
Messi has completely changed his style of play. Looking at his gameplay now, he seems to be primarily a midfielder. And he is more comfortable assisting than scoring. He may not be able to score too many goals playing in such a style, but PSG will benefit greatly from it. And PSG's overall gameplay will improve further. Mbappe and Neymar will have more chances to score. However, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are world-class players in all three. If the bonding between them is good and their relationship is friendly, then they will be able to perform better together.
Now messi is starting to get a different role at PSG, when previously at Barcelona he was a target man on the front lines but now he is starting to adjust his style of play as expected by his coach for helping attack, the decision to change the style of play I don't think is an absolute decision from messi because after all the main striker position has been owned by mbappe and of course the coach might want messi to play a little backwards, even so messi is still messi, in whatever position he plays will certainly create a lot of threats to the opponent's defense in a match.

Messi is a player who can adapt to any position. At Barcelona, Messi has done well as the main striker. And scored a lot of goals. He was a regular scorer at Barcelona. But looking at Messi's performance at PSG now, he seems to be a midfielder. And assisting is his main responsibility. He is able to fulfill this responsibility very well. PSG will be stronger if Mbappe's performance improves.

Messi has a different role in PSG plus now he isnt the main superstar in the team. There are two more superstars Neymar and Mbappe so its hard to put them all togheter no matter how easy it looks. Messi also needed a year to adopt to PSG gamestyle and finally we have the old Messi
there is one thing different about Messi with PSG now, he is not playing as the only star of the team and he's not scoring a lot of goals, only three, but he has 6 assists so far, it shows how he's more focused about the team scoring goals and just him, I already said that he doesn't care a lot anymore about being the goalscorer of the team, he wants more trophies, The league seems easy, Champions League is the true goal.

UCL is of course the main target for Paris SG. Their squad is strong enough to win UCL. Together with Messi, they made a great team.  I wish we could see Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team as Messi. It's like a miracle that this happens. If Ronaldo were to leave Manchester United, Paris SG could be a successful team for him. It will easily win the French league. The important area is to focus on the main goal and win the UCL.

Wow, without a doubt, this is what many fans of both CR7 and Messi expect, I think that it is possible, but if PSG continues betting on Mbappé it will not go very well, Mbappé needs to mature a lot, he cannot direct a team or do the work of managers or a technical director, besides, it seems very unprofessional to me that he has drawn up that list to remove those players from the team, honestly a player cannot be bigger than a team , and it seems that PSG have lost their compass in that sense, they are not doing things very well and are giving maximum importance to him, instead of taking advantage of the last cartridges that Messi and Ney are burning.

Montpellier will fight against Strasbourg today that during this season Strasbourg has a habit of always playing defensively and it proven to their statistics that they never dominate the matches and playing with counter attack style so i assume for today match too their strategy will not so different but regarding match result i am thinking this match will ended to draw because their head to head statistics showed they were can able to playing draw several times but for bets i have two options both teams to score or draw

The head to head duel Montpellier Vs Strasbourg is indeed a pretty exciting duel. because both teams have good defensive power. These two teams have met on 40 occasions and from those 40 matches 15 wins for Strasbourg and 11 wins for Montpellier, then the other 14 matches ended in draws. and this match is the 41st meeting and a draw is certainly a prediction for now. but let's see how well these two teams play.

Montpellier will host and play at the Stade de la mosson stadium.

Prediction for Montpellier vs Strasbourg Line Up:

Montpellier : Omlin; Sacko, Jullien, Cozza, Sakho; Chotard, Ferri; Khazri, Savanier, Nordin; Wow.

Strasbourg : Sels; Doukoure, Djiku, Perrin; Pierre-Gabriel, Aholou, Thomasson, Bellegarde, Dagba; Diallo, Ajorque
The truth is I have a lot of faith in Montpellier, it is a team that I have been liking the way they play, I also had my eye on Lille and Marseille, I think these teams are quite good, but I really wish that one of these teams had strong enough to give PSG good competition, it's not that I want PSG to be angry at him or something, but this time I want to see a much more powerful French league, which not only has representation with PSG against the UCL and be protagonists, Marseille promises because they have good players, I also think that this league is raising its level, I don't know, but I saw that they were not going to take Benzema to play for the French team, and that is something that tells me that are there better players than him? then let them be known at once.

Rennes is not an opponent that is easily defeated by Marseille. In their last 5 meetings, Marseille and Rennes can beat each other, even in the last match Marseille had to admit the advantage of Rennes with a score of 2-0. Now Marseille need 3 points to keep overshadowing Paris Saint Germain in the table, but the opponent they face now is a club that can beat them. They have to work hard to win this game.

You're right, Rennes has made a lot of noise for some time, but they need to consolidate, I really see it as very difficult for them to defeat Marseille, these players are very well focused and have many good things to offer, I've seen how some players are doing everything possible to be among the best, Deschamps already has his training for the World Cup in Qatar and it is very surprising that he does not bring one of his main stars, this means that the French league has such good players that they are betting a lot for the youngsters and for those who are beginning to tour a fairly strong French league.

Looking at the table, it is very possible that Marseille could go up, so my bet that a team other than PSG shines gets more and more alive
7651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 17, 2022, 06:32:29 PM
This is the second week in a row that Bayern Munich are losing points. This time they tried everything they could against Union Berlin but the game still ended up with a 1-1 draw. However we should take something into account also that Union Berlin started really great to the new season. Even though they had a difficult job they still managed to keep their opponent at only one goal. However this doesn't change too much about Bayern Munich. They are still the most credible team in the league to win the title of course.

Yes, in fact there is not the slightest doubt, but I don't know, I think that Bayern should be more careful and not lose points like they did, it is undoubtedly a pity, because carelessness like that can affect them in a match big scale, and that's not good, they always have to do many things to have the victory and above all not to trust, for me what seems to me the most is that Bayern trusted and that happened to them, for future games, not only in the Bundesliga, but in the UCL they can't go out playing like that, the truth is that Muller is sometimes unstoppable, but this time everything failed him, and I can't find any explanation for him, they were lost on the pitch.

Here are the results of my picks for the rest of the games,

Borussia Dortmund VS FC Schalke 04 GOAL 1 - 0 - WIN
Dortmund still making progress and from the game stat Dortmund is at an advantage over Schalke, but yeah Schalke is not a push-over team but against Dortmund, it is really impossible to win for them,

Schalke is a very weak team. However, Dortmund has a lot of problems winning this match. And Moukoko's only goal in the 79th minute earned Dortmund the full points. However, now the Dortmund team is at the top of the points table. Even so, I would say that the Dortmund team is still not stable. Maybe Dortmund will be stronger if Sebastine Haller joins the squad.


FC Augsburg VS FC Bayern Munich GOAL 1 - 0 - LOST

Never really expected that to happen but another loss for me still I never really care about it but Bayern Munich should have won this,

This was a completely unexpected result. Bayern Munich has drawn in their last three matches. And so in today's match, all Bayern fans expected Munich to get full points in this match. But today Munich's performance was weaker. And they were defeated. It is becoming more and more difficult for Bayern Munich to occupy the top spot in the points table.

Dortmund did a great job and it really surprised me, because I've seen that Schalke have a team where they understand each other very well and always make very different strategies for their different rivals, it seemed strange to me that they lost to the slightest difference, it's well known that Bayern is one of the best teams in the world, but seeing them lose to FC Augsburg by just 1, is something that has everyone thinking, especially Bayern fans who have so much faith in their team, I don't know, to Sometimes they give me the impression that they want to make sure they are very good in the UCL than in the same league, Muller wants to win everything, but I have seen that he cannot do everything, I think he gets more help from his friends.

FT: Augsburg 1-0 Bayern Munich

Berisha's close-range goal saw Die Roten lose for the first time in the Bundesliga this season. The visitors' attack was nowhere near the level they showed against Barcelona in midweek, but their efforts were all thwarted thanks to a fantastic performance from Gikiewicz in goal in Augsburg.

Gikiewicz's performance showed just how solid Augsburg's defense was throughout the match, and provided an indication of how their game plan developed once Bayern entered all-out attack mode.
Ausburg's defense was very strong and focused; they kept the pressure put on them by Bayern in order to keep the three points.
The game did not go as planned because many people, including myself, did not expect Bayern to lose. This was Ausburg's third victory of the season, and the victory moved them up to 11th place with nine points.

You are right, although for me everything failed, from defense to attack, it is difficult and strange to see Bayern in 4th, although the difference is not much from first place, I think they should not continue to lose so many points, as I said before, I don't know if they are focusing only on the UCL and that is their objective, because the previous UCL was somewhat bad for them, because they came out in a very strange way, although I think that now for the Bundesliga they must correct those mistakes that have been made stay on the road and not advance further, because they have a great team, they just have to take advantage of getting everything they have.

I'm surprised Chelsea were able to snatch victory from West Ham in the final minutes... I thought they were going to lose again, but this time they were very lucky... But the City and Aston Villa game surprised me even more than Liverpool... Somehow the top clubs didn't start the new season very well... Perhaps the more interesting games will be next year...
Big teams are not really doing well this season, Aston Villa shouldn't be a team that Manchester City needs to struggle with . Manchester City have better squad than Aston Villa,  winning shouldn't be a problem to them. As for Liverpool they have been havingdifficulties before now so am not surprised with the score.
I have to admit that I was really surprised by Manchester City's loss of points. They should have beaten Aston Villa comfortably, but even though they took the lead, they couldn't keep it. Haaland was not idle again, he managed to score his goal again. He managed to score his 10th goal in the league. He managed to reach 10 goals in the number of matches very early. Congratulations to Haaland.

I am very surprised by Man City, and I know that there were many people who lost their bets in this game, but we have to admit something, Aston Villa played very well, the real players who understood each other on the pitch and managed to come back and beat one of the best teams there is, on the other hand if I praise the work that Haaland has done, but not all the responsibility is his, if he does not have a team that supports him as it should be, he can hardly continue to shine, and he misses me from the Pep Guardiola letting things happen like this, on the one hand gives me the impression that Pep Guardiola was very confident against Aston Villa.
Haaland has already proven his quality and he is better than Cr7 at the start of this season. He became a new idol for Manchester City fans. with the addition of 1 goal made him the top scorer in the English league with a collection of 11 goals to date. I believe his first season with Manchester City Haaland will be able to set a record for his career. With this victory, Manchester City regained the top position in the standings which had been controlled by Arsenal, but we have to wait for Arsenal match against Brentford which will be played tomorrow, if Arsenal can win this match they will automatically return to the top.
In his first season in the English league, Haalaand has been able to show his sharpness in terms of scoring goals, currently he has scored 11 goals for manchester city in just 7 games but to compare him with Ronaldo is clearly not relevant in my opinion, because after all Ronaldo and Haalaand have different age ranges and different heydays even though Ronaldo is still actively playing football today.
Arsenal Vs Brentford match will be played tomorrow, so the position of manchester city is not safe at the top of the table, as an arsenal fan, I really hope that arsenal can get 3 points in the match later as well as reclaim the top of the English league standing from manchester city.

Match Info Today:
HT : Tottenham Hotspurs 2 Vs 2 Leicester City

Well we all know something, Haaland is much younger than CR7 and CR7 although they say what they say is much superior to him and many even believe that he is better than Messi, so I say it from the point of view that,. since the baby CR7 died, something in CR7 changed, CR7 tries to overcome that but we all know that it is very difficult to do it, when his baby died, something in CR7 also died, many people do not see it, thing I think that is something that affects a person a lot, and if we compare him with any player, right now any player is better than CR7, and that decline has made no team want him, I think that's the best explanation.

During today's match, the players wore black armbands in honor of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
and Tottenham vs Leicester in the first half the score 2-2 both teams played very well and attacked each other to get full points, and Leicester slightly dominated the game but Tottenham did not seem to stay silent and kept trying to score goals and will maintain their unbeaten record so far in EPL. And we'll see in the second half.

For me the Queen is already something symbolic, I think that these things of the reigns in these countries, at least for me, do not represent much, I am not one of the people who likes to be under the mandate of a president (despite the fact that I live in a country where corruption is evident) that's why I'm not very one to pay homage to kingdoms, because they are human, who often do not have certain considerations with their people, but everything is for them and that's it, the only one who can govern and always King for me is God Heavenly Father, even so I respect the beliefs of each person and each culture, I know what it represents, that's why, when we go to the EPL I like the work that Totthenham is doing, they are playing much more concentrated and I don't know, it may be because of the great motivations is giving them, but as the games go, it gets interesting, there is a great need for these teams to resurface and give strong competition to those who are always first places.

7653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 17, 2022, 05:23:01 PM

Barca just won 3-0 on Sevilla's pitch with a dominating game in both halves from them and Lewa scored too.
Barca seems to be playing pretty well. although not making the game with full control of the ball. now Barca makes a more effective game. Xavi saw the weakness in Sevilla's defense. and that allows Barca to create a lot of shooting opportunities.
Sevilla itself finally had to settle for extending its losing record because it had not won until week 4. Sevilla's performance was very far from last season. Of course, it was very disappointing.

Sevilla are playing very bad matches this year. They won only 1 point in 4 matches. Real Madrid continues to lead as the only team to win all the matches it plays. Real Madrid is a team that left its mark this year as well. They also won in the Real Betis match. El Classico, which they will play against Barcelona, ??is very valuable this year.

You're right, and that's how Real Madrid is making a great story, on the other hand I admire what Barcelona has done, Sevilla has also been in low morale, they don't do it well, I don't know what's wrong with them, I know that all teams go through bad times and maybe this is happening to them, but it's time for them to wake up and do things right because really if they continue with that they will do very badly, and at the rate the league is going it will be very difficult if they keep losing points, as I saw the game, I think they could have won if they had approached the game in another way, Sevilla have very good players and in general they understand each other very well, but I don't know what is happening to them.

Barcelona finished the match by increasing the gear in the last ten minutes of the first half. Elche's resistance dropped when Verdu got an early red card, but they held on for another 20 minutes. After this time, the fewer goals they concede from Barcelona, the better. There were 3 goals in the first half, but the last goal was caught offside. Elche's job is very difficult in the second half. They have to do everything to cool the match. There is a good opportunity for Lewandowski to increase his goal number. Of course, Xavi can make early changes so as not to put his players at risk. This match is over now. Will Barca score 5 goals or 7 goals? We are waiting for that result. Even though the match was 11 vs. 11, Elche didn't have much of a chance anyway.
The second half was underway, and Barcelona again scored their third goal through the feet of Lewandowski in the 48th minute.
Barcelona really controlled the whole game today, it is very likely that Elche will have to completely control their defensive weakness rather than look for a goal back, considering they have been down to 10 men since the 14th minute after Verdu received a red card for a foul on Lewandowski to stop scoring goal.
Lewandowski is scoring great today. Barcelona are playing very well. Xavi has put the team players on the field very well. Hopefully there will be a few more goals. Maybe this time Lewandowski can change the fortunes of Barcelona. Personally, I want to see Messi again in Barcelona.
Game over and only 3-0 for Barcelona should be more than that, and Lewandowski only scored 2 goals and 1 goal from Memphis Depay.
Barcelona dominated the game overall and Barcelona made 25 and 9 shots on goal, while Elche had only 1 shot and 1 shot on goal. And the presence of Lewandowski in Barcelona in my opinion brings fresh air to Barcelona.

They played as I expected from Barcelona in this match. Barcelona players had the ball for most of the match. Elche's players get no chance to take possession of the ball or attack. Elche managed to make only 1 shot in this match. This clearly shows that the entire match was under the control of Barcelona. Both Lewandowski and Depay managed to score. Pedri and De Jong also played superbly in midfield. Defender Balde's performance is also commendable.
You are right, I saw Barcelona well this time, I don't know if Lewa is saving for the UCL or they are saving him to protect him from a possible injury, it is something normal, to tell the truth, what Barcelona showed with Bayern was something he had to having given a lot to the pride of the team, honestly I saw Barcelona very badly, at least they have to be winning in the League so they don't look so bad, something happened here that Muller ended up showing Lewa that it was a mistake to have gone to Barcelona, is that the German team is really a machine, there was a moment in the game where they hid the ball from Barcelona and nothing they could with them.

Undeniably, Barcelona completely dominated this match and did not let the Elche players attack and develop the game. It was an easy match for Barcelona, ​​so 3 goals should be a small amount in my opinion.

Lewandowski scored two more goals in this match, and now he has really proven his seriousness to become Laliga's top scorer. Today Lewandowski also deserved to be man of the match, it was a fine performance from the striker after a goalless game against Bayern Munich. But, of course I'm not worried in the slightest even though Barcelona lead the standings which were previously occupied by Real Madrid. We'll take it back soon.
After Lewandowski scored his second goal in the 48th minute, Barcelona players found it difficult to increase the number of goals against Elche. Attacks built by Barcelona players can always be blocked by Elche players, Elche's goalkeeper also performed well when holding back several Barcelona attacks that should have been goals. This defeat made Elche even more sinking at the bottom of the standings, from six matches they only got one point.

The addition of two goals against Elche made Lewandowski even more secure in the first position in the list of top scorers with 8 goals, as a new player who came to La Liga Lewandowski goal acquisition was very good. Lewandowski should have scored a hat-trick in this match, but Xavi did not want to risk Lewandowski and was immediately withdrawn to be replaced by Ferran Torres in the 72nd minute.
Yes, I also think that way, Lewandowski was pulled to avoid injury and did not want to take risks because in the near future there are still crucial matches like El Clasico. because Lewandowski is a really great striker, one of the best players in the world, but the important question is if Lewandowski gets injured, what will happen to the team? Without Lewandowski, there isn't much danger in Barcelona's attack.

It would be a shame if Lewa got injured, I would prefer to think that if something like this happens, it's when Barcelona don't have very good strikers, and the one they had was sold, and he was the one who helped them the most to get out of the hole where they were, in part These teams seem to me to be very ungrateful to their players, and at this point it is understandable when some players refuse to go to teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, because they are such big teams that their interests go far beyond football, they are directed towards a power, an elite that if you are not inside, you will never be, this football thing has now become a very big business model.

And hey, 97.1% chances of winning, it gives Butler an almost impossible chance to win.

As expected since the beginning and even that fight is not officially dealt with.

It's even fortunate that Paul Butler was given around 2% of winning the match  Not a disrespectful comment from me just to be clear.

Even though there's a thing called "lucky punch", Butler doesn't have the strength to give a fatal blow to Inoue even if he is able to land one.
The fan of his would also acknowledge that possible lucky punch despite all of those percentages of winning that has been shown.

Not a disrespect but this could be taken by him as a challenge and prove everyone that he's got what it takes to beat the champ. Well, that could just be his mindset upon looking at these odds and percentage that's shown to the public by many speculators.

Most likely that will be Paul Butler's motivation here, because he is a huge underdog so his mindset should shift gear and focus that he can do it, be positive against the Monster.

So in the first couple of rounds we will see if he can stay with Inoue and that motivation and his big heart of him will be enough to counter the power of Naoya and survived the distance. But I doubt it because Inoue is truly an amazing fighter and complete and still improving every fight.

being the underdog in this match should give butler a very good motivation to prove the boxing community that he has something to offer also inside the ring. so either he will be very prepared on this fight or just let this fight be over and collect his paycheck. but his performance inside the ring will determine if he will get another good fight in the future, even if he will lose on inoue. now, let's wait the odds of other betting lines on this match because right now, it is not worth betting at 1.02x on inoue, right?

I do not know,. but seeing how things are going, I think that the most optioned for me is Inoue, particularly I think that he is a more explosive boxer who can determine any ending to the last round, and with a great option that he can give a surprise with a knockout, apart from that I like him a lot his style, on the other hand Butler I see it well, he is strong, he is a boxer who can also surprise to give a knockout, this fight will have many good things, what I like is how butler manages the times, that It makes it seem like he has everything under control, but you don't have to trust either, things in boxing can go either way.

If this is not going to change by 1st week of Dec, I'd be hoping for an upset betting $10 for Butler.

Looks like it won't going to change but maybe there's a possibility that it will even rise. Paul Butler has no chance to win here that's why odds for him might increase as the fight approaches. We can't expect a miracle to happen here and the only way for Butler to win is to really give a hard punch that can put Inoue down and kiss the floor.

Although betting $10 in favor of Butler should not harm your pocket even your chances to win are really small.


Since betting on Inoue has very small odds, you can also look for other betting lines.
But for me, betting on Butler as a winner has also a very slim chance.
Just need to wait for the bookies to open those betting lines, like which round it will end?
Or will the fight go the distance? I believe, this is more worth it to bet, rather than betting a small amount of Butler.
But that's your money, so up to you which betting line you are more comfortable to bet with.

Right now I see things very complicated, especially for betting, I have seen how many people wait for the statistics, to give themselves a guide of what they can do, but who can the money and will risk it is ourselves as bettors, I in In case I do my personal research, that includes doing research online, interviews, something you may have seen, maybe some kind of training videos, everything that has to do with boxers, check here the forum is an inflatable option and it is the last option that I see is that it is usually one of the most powerful information tools that exist, I like to review the news, and especially internal forums that have to do with boxing, then make a decision that has nothing to do with associated emotions, which is something very difficult, so I do.

Your announcement thread is already three years old here but so far it did not take off here on Bitcointalk I am not aware of the existence of your casino until you posted this update, this is the best place to advertise and prove your casino to be the best not that you should run a signature campaign or an ads campaign but keeping this thread active by posting your giveaways and bonuses will do the trick and help your casino to take off here.

In my opinion, the reason for such a long silence on the part of the OP is that the creation of the thread did not give enough impetus to the influx of users to PuertoCasino.com or the discussion was not active, and the interest in writing here most likely disappeared, maybe I'm wrong.

It may be that things are like this, and that the casino continues its normal operation with another type of marketing or they have become known with other marketing strategies, and that the casino owner may not have the relevant people to set it up. charge of the forum and follow up on all concerns.

I would prefer not to think about the casino for now, another option is that some member has been playing in the casino and brings us his current experience, I say this because not all people have a forum culture, we because we know that the forum is a great continuous knowledge tool that is generated every day.

Cant really deny that this place is something relevant for any crypto based business which this forum would be that relevant when it comes to advertisement but its true that not all does really put up that focus

which they must do but if they are having other ways or methods on making some exposure to be that known or raise up awareness but well its their own ways.

They do know on how to make themselves known whether which kind of method that they would be using up.

If in fact, each site when it is launched has its way of doing things, they have a marketing manager and obviously he is the one who makes the decisions on how and when things should be published and by what means, in this case how it is focused towards everything that bitcoin and crypto means, I would like to emphasize them with twitter, there are many people who are maximalists of Bitcoin and use twitter, but without a doubt, the best of all marketing is here in bitcointalk, just to put For example, we have stake.com, bitcasino.io, duelbits, rollbit, among other casinos that have always had a great signing campaign and they are doing great on their site, so that is when one wonders, they will not do this for nothing, It is obvious that they are receiving much more traffic every day.

I really liked the experience in this casino, especially there is a type of game in particular that I like a lot and it's called "Rise of Ra" and also in "joker poker" I like it, so I don't know if they have thought about expand that idea for poker? It is not the first casino where I have proposed that they can do something like this, but since poker is one of the most popular games and that people are looking for more, and currently there is not so much poker fever because the sites are very Few organize this type of event, I think that apart from Betnomi that if it organizes tournaments, if there were another casino that focused on daily tournaments, this could bring more traffic and more people, haven't you considered it?
From its name "rise of ra", my guess is that it was a slot game right? But the other one, I am not sure if it's also a type of slot game or it's a poker game but with a twist due to its name because the original poker game is simply called as a poker. This is a casino site so they don't only focus on poker games but who knows?

Maybe they will consider your suggestion since like you said, many people do also love to play poker as it's more on a skill game and the chance to make a profit on it is high if you will take time to grow your skills. Other than betnomi, I think swc poker have also done a poker tournament here before tho I haven't heard them nowadays.

That's right, it's about slots, it's very good, I recommend it, what happens is that I've always liked this type of slot games, there are many things that I like about slots, they have a lot of emcoines that you can hoard, of course my My favorite has always been the pragmatic play slots, it seems to me that there is more opportunity, of course there are other types of slots that have many options, but in my personal experience I have had more luck with that type of slot.

Some like the slots that are like candy, and others that are focused on fruit, they are the most classic but it is all a matter of taste.

Indeed. Personal preferences always play a role in finding a specific casino or gambling website that is suitable for your liking. Someone's comfortability and other features, facility, and functionality are things to consider in looking for a site to play with. In addition, the return to player rating is of importance too. But overall, it really depends on what you are looking for and if a certain casino satisfies you or not.
Right it all depends on our personal preferences and there are many options to us in crypto gambling casinos with different features.Like some players have interest in particular slot and it's available on some specific casino he would gamble over there only and other reasons you have mentioned like deposit bonus, withdrawal,KYC also account in choosing particular casino.We all have freedom of choice but it must be the legit one.

Yeah mainly that's one of the things that everything moves around, going off of that I've never found a casino platform that has 24 hour poker and tournaments, sometimes you could find free poker tournaments with the option to win mBTC, that in betcoinpoker where there were always tables available and tournaments to play. these are some of the things i miss but no one type of platform does and offers but due to the absence of this most casinos have implemented a wide variety of slot games i really like the selection they have on bitcasino. io and at stake.com, every week they add many more slots and that is something that excites me at least.

all casinos claim to be the best for all gamblers, but it differs actually when you come to experience not only through their games and bonuses offered, but also on how they treat their customers through their customer service as it could be another factor that will make them the best from all casinos.
I totally agree with this.
Personally, I prefer playing on casinos where the customer support and admins are friendly and listen to their customers' suggestions and make them feel confortable. This, imo, what determines a good casino even if they have high house edge and don't offer many bonuses like other casinos do.
After all, we gamble for fun not to make money!
This is of course correct and it is better to play in a casino where there is friendly and prompt support. 
However, in advance you will never understand how well the support of this particular casino works.  This can only be understood when you have talked with support many times and the problems have been resolved.  There are also cases when your appeals are difficult even for support to make a decision and it takes quite a long time to figure it out. 
Then we usually read here in BTT the angry reviews of some offended users.

Well, there are casinos where the support is very friendly and they really have and make a difference, sometimes I have been in support of some, only when I have problems that are easy to solve, when one is in a casino where it has a very good reputation good and highly reliable, the support staff are very fast and they are really very efficient, however, it is rarely where I have not received friendly attention, from you, I think that the support in a casino is the face of the casino before us, if it is a support where they are very severe or quite dry, one as a player does not play again, at least that has happened to me, only in 1 casino is where the experience is bad, otherwise in all the casinos they are very friendly and find what is fast.
7657  Economy / Gambling / Re: Some Crazy Fun Facts About Casinos And Gambling You Might Not Know. on: September 16, 2022, 10:10:17 PM
There is another fun fact that is not included in the op which is the set of gamblers who sell their personal properties such as houses and cars just to gamble away the money and after then end up sleeping by the corridor of the casino House, thos is the most irresponsible act but I have seen a lot of them in my region who are. so addicted to gambling and have gambled away all their life savings and properties.
...

I would have guessed those things only happened in movies and books, Jesus Christ.
Since you said you have personally witnessed these things happening in your region, would you care to give us an example or tell us a story about a particular case which you can talk about? Because I have never seen someone being so reckless when gambling, the worst I have seen was someone losing half their monthly wage.

Also, how come they end up sleeping in the Casino corridor? Dont they get kicked up by staff?
Or maybe staff feel so sorry for them that allow them to sleep a couple of night on the floor.

Whatever the case, it is just sad to read people can ruin their lives so quickly.  Sad


This is very true, the game can drive anyone crazy if they do not control all their emotions and in these cases the impulses, I think that a person who bets his house is because he is not very well in the head, he is a person who apart from being irresponsible I would consider it crazy, a house or property is not to put it as a guarantee against a game of chance.

For me, houses, real estate, are to put them as collateral in case of an emergency, and that for a loan before the bank, I think that is the most intelligent way to risk the house or a property because the value of things I think is not they only have to do with the fiat, but many other things.

For some reason, this story seems to me to be dubious.  Of course, it is impossible that a person holding such a high position and, accordingly, having vast experience in management and knowing all the pitfalls of gambling, would seriously risk the capital necessary to save a huge company.  I think this story is just another publicity tale.  Moreover, everything you learn from Las Vegas is literally all riddled with exaggeration of facts and the size of luck. 
This is what the world gambling center itself is built on.

I think you are making reference to the FedEx story. That  is looking like what can be doubted but nonetheless it is in the media and that is what we all are given to gulp in but the real story may look like what we see online or close to it. For now it is one of the most inspiring success story in gambling as regarding risk and not necessarily luck.
and also looking to the whole topic ? it seemingly that FEDEX story is the most talked because the risk taken by the fedex boss is truly remarkable and I think no other company that will take the same action in our days now.
but still congrats for that win for many years now.
I can see that everyone wants to stick to success especially the one of FeDex that looks very risky and interesting. Sometimes when we take risk luck can accompany us along that can make us earn big from what we are doing. The result of the boss of FeDex looks very real and we all aspire to have the same luck that he had so far. Let's just keep doing what we do and one day, our story might become very interesting to other people.
It was just acting as a last resort on the funds that he do have on which as a company owner who had turned down or bankrupt then there's always that kind of emotion or thinking about being desperate for

recovery and we arent that dumb not to make gambling as the nearest option on doing so thats why he had decided that he do gamble with those amounts and luckily he do able to make at least his money a bit
bigger and this is where the story continues.

What if he had lost all of his money on that time? For sure we arent seeing FedEx now.  Cheesy
It is that that is what we think, if I had not had that great touch of luck, FedEX would surely not have existed, in my opinion this is a very necessary stroke of luck and they were really successful in terms of the risk and everything, although thinking about it Well, it wasn't unreasonable to do something like that, if things had gone wrong, I think maybe that company would have emerged, sometimes what is meant to be given is given, it's like what is destined for someone, however it goes to that person and is Give with everything you have, perhaps FedEx is a company that is very good and that gives and offers many benefits to us and that is something redeemable.

I don't know how else OP can make them believe in their good faith, it's difficult, I know that marketing within the forum is something that can be very profitable but you have to know how to do it, the people in the forum are not stupid at all.

If his intention are really clear on selling those poker courses, he should post all the details about it. Based on his previous post, he will only entertain members that are interested via private message which I think seems fishy. It will even help him lessen some time catering to each PMs if he post the details. I've also been wanting to learn poker recently and his post got my attention but how he acts is not appropriate if he really is a legit seller.

That of the PM is not something reliable for me, these things like that are not highly recommended, have you not yet found a reliable member so that you can try the course? of course with some experience in poker, it's the only way, because it's no use someone who has no idea about poker, only with that caveat it's good that you can give a good review, or that the person who is providing the service put more things so that they can trust it, maybe the reviews of people, you should create your own website with the reviews and opinions of the people who have already done the course and above all the results that is what matters most.

As a poker player, I am offering help on how to get started and start crushing the micros for free. If you are interested in more in-depth coaching, we can also work something out.

For more information, please send me a PM.


Why not outline the areas which you would you really focusing. Now from your title you said for sales and your post now saying is for free how do you intends to?. I will also suggest since you said is for free, why not post it here on this thread maybe for people interested to read it and use as a guideline on how to start playing poker.
It could be a great help instead saling the guideline.



Well, you're right about that, sometimes a person is looking for a way to help, and not everything is free, even if they decide to charge for it, well, you have to respect them, I've played a lot of poker and I still have a lot to learn, I know that the a good poker player is done under the experience and playing in tournaments, obtaining different types of experiences to move forward, however I am a person who likes to read a lot, and read from the most experienced poker players, Well, thanks to their experiences one can learn, perhaps copy some strategies that can help a lot when playing and making decisions.
7659  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: September 16, 2022, 07:49:19 PM
one of the triggers of gambling addiction is the desire to chase losses, and then they got lost (addicted) along the process.
This is what makes many gamblers end up getting addicted because they want to recover their losses and keep trying. They never think about how much money they will use to chase losses and how much they are prepared to lose. Even though, in the end, their losses are getting bigger, they still don't stop, making them even more addicted to gambling, and it is very difficult to stop it.

This is what I call the search for revenge against the casino, which seems to me to be a very foolish decision and worthy of being an immature player, a player when he loses his money willing to lose, what he should do is assume the loss and go another day, with a clearer head and thinking, without the need to have negative feelings, partly when a person gets desperate and wants to recover what he lost is when addiction problems come and especially from the search for money to as a matter of course, and this brings as a consequence the worst things that a human being is capable of going through in search of money, it is something sad but it always happens, that is what should be avoided.

As long as people keep make themselves entertain they keep make it as their satisfaction by time goes by people now make themselves make fun they make all the game or leisure time as a competition and by that it becomes known as gambling if they put an amount of money to make additional thrill in the game. Still too much gambling make yourself addicted into it and even you don't care with your health because as long as you win and satisfied yourself you will keep playing responsible gambler know its limit.

To cap this, i thought about a kind of lifestyle gamblers developed in the past with going to the casino house all through the day, enjoying pleasure o the fullest, there they make connections, money and enjoy alot fun with bitches, they are never in haste to go home because they know that in there, there's a continuous flow of the latest hit gamblers, drugs dealers and all sort of business flows in 24/7, even when they spend they make more than they've spent back in return, some gamblers can't just loss because they are so sensitive to how things been done in the casino.
I think that one of the best ways to see the game is like this, just for fun, because there are people who want to see the game as a lifestyle, and well they can do it as long as they have enough money to support themselves and go out afloat from everything without needing the money that is being spent in a casino, that is something that can manifest itself in people who are really very rich and can give themselves a type of luxury like that, however to one as an average player, the healthiest thing one does is allocate money totally willing to lose it and not more than that, because spending more money than normal is not something very intelligent.
7660  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: September 16, 2022, 06:49:22 PM
I don't like the game much. even in the casino I just play craps and sports books. I don't even play cards at the casino.

if the casino develops other games that are more innovative and simple. I'm sure this is a good update. this is a very good idea. there are already many suggestions. but to implement it certainly requires a lot of trial and error.

In part I know that it is very difficult to implement new games, such as soccer or games that have to do with strategy and that require a lot of time, in a casino you need games that are fast, the results must be given in a matter of seconds, as craps, the ones that take the longest are poker, blackjack, something like that, but really for some developers it may be unfeasible to make new games or design them because casino owners will not want a game that a player is 5 minutes late to play, wants new but relatively fast games to play.

This is so that the players who are called whales do not get bored, this type of games would have to be studied to see how much impact they can bring to a casino.

I also suggesting luddo game . 1v1 or 4v4 what ever you want you can play this with multiplayer  there was also one more game carrom bar pool . I think after including those games Gamblers will more attractive on that site . Because as the others boring games of casino those two are more enjoyable game .
-snip-
-snip-

Who knows, perhaps there are some people who would find luddo appealing,here it used to be a very popular game during long travels and family meetings to play while having some drinks/snacks. Also, even though the percentage is high, it served as an example on how casinos could earn money with tabletop games in general, this same model could be applied to chess, Monopoly-like games, memory games,etc.

I must admit though, that luddo and similar kind of tabletop games have fallen in popularity in favor to mobile games, handheld consoles and other forms of electronic entertainment.



Well, particularly this game of ludo was one of the most played where I live during the pandemic, I don't know how popular it will be in Europe or the USA, but here it was something that really entertained and made very good bets, the fact that can get to a casino, I don't know how many emotions it can trigger in the players, plus the players who are used to playing Black JACK, POKER, roulette, slots, sometimes the demands of the players are very simple but quite specific, this is something that it can really lead many people within a casino to success or bury it in failure, it's all a matter of taste.
