For sure Seth Curry once played in the Golden State Warriors you can say he is no average player indeed, even though he is not an all star caliber he is something that can surely be a mini Stephen Curry, for sure with Giannis Antetokounmpo the team of the Milwaukee Bucks will be a different threat and for sure Seth Curry is still a blooming player with the age of 33 years old he is on the middle of his prime and likely still improving, so for sure this will be a Shining hope for the Milwaukee Bucks,


Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for Seth Curry, as he has always been in his brother's shadow. In his entire NBA career, he has changed 8 teams, and it seems he can't find the team that can bring him to his full potential. By the way, if you check his stats, you may notice that his prime was in the 21/22 season when he averaged 15 points per game. Unfortunately, his playing time was significantly reduced after the trade to the Nets, and he started to perform worse.
I would only feel sorry for him if he's actually as great as Steph and still get the playing time or recognition he deserves. They're not equally talented so someone will be on the shadows. One is a decent role player who probably reached his peak already while the other is a consistent game changer.

That is their reality and they can't do nothing about it as they already know that they cannot have it both ways unless both of them are really talented and skillful enough to become incomparable but we know that there are some cases where siblings have dominated a sports or some other fields but that's not very common and for the Curry brothers, they are just a regular siblings who only have one dominant player and the other one is just playing decent.

If Charlo wins then no changes for what Crawford desires, he will face instead the winner and proceed to his own timeline.

But technically speaking, although everything is possible to happen including an upset win by Charlo, I don't see any advantages he can use against the prime Canelo. I remember when Bivol was facing Canelo, only a few believed that the former would win but the result didn't say the same. I can't apply that same scenario to Charlo facing Canelo.

Anyway, let's wait for the winner of the Canelo-Charlo bout and speculate everything from there.

Both the players Charlo and Crawford had their equal opportunities to win the game.The players should try equal try to win the game.The game between Bivol and Canelo itself explain the exact situation now.The crowd opinion is Canelo,but the same was changed at the end.Bivol win the game with the support of the judges.I hope same will not happen now to Canelo.Even now the crowd opinion will be Canelo compared to the Crawford.When you compared the support of 100 people in the community,the seventy people will support Canelo.

At that time, it was so hard to support and bet against Canelo Alvarez because honestly, we've certainly known him far more compared to Dmitry Bivol who is just a champion on our eyes but wasn't really a threat because he doesn't have someone strong in his record that he already defeated. And so, at that time, we did expected that Canelo can defeat Bivol because that wasn't Canelo's first fight at 175 either as he already managed to defeat a boxer way back named Kovalev.

But then, we thought it wrong because Bivol proved to us that he's definitely a different boxer than Kovalev and can defend his belt successfully unlike the latter. In-fact at that time when he fought Canelo, Bivol was under heavy pressure because it was also the beginning of Russia-Ukraine war.

Tyson Fury has never had a healthy lifestyle and I've never seen ripped Fury after all but there was a time when he tried and still he looked chubby because he has a lot of subcutaneous fat and it's very hard to get rid of it, plus, as far as I remember, he said he isn't that disciplined and can't say no to tasty foods. To summarize, he doesn't want to put the effort to lose weight and get ripped because it brings absolutely zero value to him and he is not a person who cares about looks. So, he eats whatever he wants and has fun.
The fact is, he beats people, he beats everyone, he beats people who dedicate their life to training and diet, who constantly look at numbers on computers to check their conditions and every statistics.


He might just think of how good is he even if he didn't do something about his weight, The dude still has the power to knockout heavyweights and that's all he needs since he already proved it against Wilder thrice. Now that he looks heavier than before, I don't think he will be that serious when he fights Ngannou because he is full of himself and thinks the guy is an easy fight. well! we can't really understand how Fury thinks since he always finds his way to win every fight. let's just see how will it turn out this time.

We can also say that he was just being on himself, just like Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. The man doesn't really care about the training and everything that involves physical preparation because he also loved to eat unhealthy foods including softdrinks but still, at the end of the day, the man still wins and others cannot even do anything about it even if they will pour every seconds of their time to prepare against him and his team.

However, which one should you be more dependent on when it comes to making money from the casino!

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?

Capital will be given as well as the luck needed for you to continue your gambling activities throughout the day, usually depends on you if how many hours will it take you until you will finally call it a day. But still, it will not be enough because without mindset and knowledge, you cannot continue what you want to do or what you want to achieve and without both, you are paving a way to give yourself some losses along the road.

This is a very wrong mindset. Once you are trying to convince someone most especially to invest into something risky, you are like just any other scammer that is forcing someone to make yourself benefit. However, I believe your intention is good but you are doing things the negative way. Do not try to pressure anyone just to believe on what you’re believing, just to do the same on what you’ve been doing, because if things end negatively, you are the one responsible to be blame. Let her do things according to her will, and give her time to process things. That way, no matter what the outcome, at least she’s the only responsible of her own decision.

All businesses involve risk so the reality is that you should have the ability to take risks.

Everyone says crypto Is high risk is it really true? My guess is less because a lot of people have had success with this crypto.
Some are investing and some are making a lot of money by trading. So why can't you?
Crypto is a high-risk asset that when you decide to enter into crypto, you should know how to manage the risk, otherwise you will never achieved success in the end. However, it does not mean that since crypto is a high-risked asset, everyone that enter into makes a bunch of success and happiness. No, in fact a lot still end up hopeless and frustrated because they invest at a very wrong time or they chose to invest in unestablished crypto coins, and so they end up losing their capital and their future profits.
787  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: August 27, 2023, 03:22:44 PM
Most often than not, individuals find it a need to buy something luxurious to reward themselves for working hard and earning a good pay without even thinking and realizing that some luxury are not within their realm of financial capability.

If they buy such things using credits or loans, then it is not an effective way to organise their financial environment. However, satisfying the desire to own some expensive things, even when it goes beyond the current possibilities, can be a very good incentive to look for additional, alternative sources of income. A person is faced with a challenge and he must use his creative energy, intellectual abilities and will in order to cope with it. And it is in such situations that strong people tend to discover new and better ways.
Buying a luxury item to reward yourself isn’t totally bad as long as you also have additional source of income that will cater to your wants. But if you are only earning from a single job, and is only minimal in amount, I suggest focus on your needs first, then buy only your wants if you have spare money to pay for it. That is where financial discipline should start with. If you know your priorities in your life, then you will never face a lot of troubles with your finances. Or better yet, increase your means of income so you will never struggle if ever you have cross the limits in your budget.
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 on: August 25, 2023, 02:53:56 PM
This is a good fight.

Ancajas have defended his IBF belt for 9 times which mean he was a strong boxer, but later he lose two times against Martinez make me feel he's not that strong. On the other hands Takuma ever lose once against Nordine Oubaali, one of the best boxer at that time, so it's still understandable.

I don't expect KO in this match, so I guess Takuma will win via decision.

Jerwin Ancajas might have more chances in this fight than we thought because aside from having more experience against the young Inoue, the former champion also has the reach and height advantage which we know that is really useful to the boxer specially if they know how to utilize their advantages. This might be a division for the Inoues but Jerwin is also a different animal, in-fact, he already had his debut at 188 earlier this June and had a TKO win.

Yes, I think we could give Jerwin a change against Takuma Inoue. He is known to be a heavy puncher at 115 lbs, and in fact he has defended his IBF belt for 9 times before losing to the upcoming Martinez. And in the rematch, for me it is very obvious that Jerwin had a hard time making that weight anymore and so it's a good choice for him to go up at 118 lbs specially that the monster is no longer on that weight class. Although he has to fight his brother, but i will vote for Ancajas to win this fight.

Not to underestimate Takuma Inoue but he is built different from Naoya and unlike the latter, Takuma is not a fast and a heavy hitter which will give Ancajas a good chance to upset the champion. I know it's early to say that Ancajas might redeem the throne but I'm confident to say that he got way more chances in this fight against Takuma and yes, that experience alone will speak for Ancajas on why he got a good chance in this fight.

Absolutely. Trading is not for everyone since not all of us are capable enough to make it work in trading. Some are just trading for losses, so why bother to trade when your knowledge and skills are not sufficient enough to make trading work. Sometimes, it’s better to stay in a less-risk activity because at least you can maintain its profitability, than to jump in high risk trading and all you gain are failures and losses in the end. Trading is a battle of mind and experience, so only trade if you think you’re already capable enough.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: August 24, 2023, 04:10:03 PM
What Crawford is doing right now is trying to get under Canelo's skin to make him agree with a fight with him while also selling it to the people to make a hype.
Crawford is willing to fight Canelo at 168, and there's no reason for Canelo to say no if he's the current champion. So, although these are just rumors for now, Crawford has already shown his interest. If he's true to his words, this fight shouldn't be hard to materialize. Perhaps for Crawford, it needs a long preparation as he's going to move up 3 weight divisions. Therefore, it's likely this significant event will happen next year.
Jumping from 147 to 168 just to fight the winner of Canelo-Charlo doesn't make sense to me. Why is he chasing that so badly? He doesn't need that for his legacy to be honest. He can have all the excuses when he loses but I hope Crawford's team talk some sense to him. At least fight someone at 160 first before challenging 168.

He said that during an interview; I don't think he is just messing with us. Canelo already said that he would only fight at 168, so it will force Crawford to move up because he thinks he could beat Canelo and become an undisputed champion again. In short, he wants to make history again. As a fan, I understand why he has to take that risky journey.

Couldn't blame Canelo because being a great boxer is surely a benefit and it's a reason why money is coming for him instead of chasing for it, just like this one, Charlo targeting Canelo because they know that it will be a big fight with a big money waiting and there's Crawford as well who might take a big leap over 3 weight classes just to face Canelo in one same ring. Both gentlemen want each of their names on their record and may the best man win because there is no doubt that all of them are strong but it's just that Canelo will have the upper hand.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 24, 2023, 02:39:04 PM
^ I have my doubts that Zion will ever be able to play a full 82 game season. He’s just too big to be a professional basketball player. The speed and strength of this guy almost ensures an injury. Healthy, he’s the most dominant player the NBA has seen since Shaq, and more athletic than a young LeBron. If they did figure out how to keep him healthy for the rest of his career, he would no doubt be one of the best to ever do it.

I think he will be put in restrictive minutes here just to preserved his money because I also agree that he might not take that gruelling 82 games without hurting his body unless he is really that freak of nature like Lebron or Giannis who can sustain that run.

And the team and medical stuff at NOP should know by now how to take care of Zion. They have been doing their job already, but it seems that he still got injured last season when we thought that he has come back and strong and fully rehabilitated and can play and help NOP.

We just have to trust the health experts and his conditioning coach to do their job. Zion is still young, and there's still a chance for him to improve himself, as we have already seen results. We have divided opinions on what we've seen and are still somewhat disappointed, especially since every season for Zion has been a mess. So, this might be the final season for him, and let's give him another try.

If minutes restriction and load management will be impose by the coaching staff for him, then be it if it's for the better.

They will try to make some room for that so that Zion can adjust during his playtime but for only a limited time because they cannot handle these kinds of setting if they are already approaching a much intense games like the ones before the season will end mainly if they can grab a secure seat towards the playoffs.

As for now, let's just hope for Zion's situation because it's much more entertaining if we can see him play more games compared to the recent season he had. You know, Pelicans can be a dark horse as well, it's just that they have a situation that is giving them struggles almost every season.

When the economy is bad, rest assured our finances will also be put at risk. Seeing there are constant price increase in the market, then it’s hard to afford and trying to make our ends meet when everything is getting more expensive each day. And so, buying and keeping our bitcoin will also be compromised. That’s why we need to really discipline our finances these days. By focusing only on our needs and avoid all that are unnecessary, probably we can still save at least for bitcoin accumulation and holding it for long term. Also, relying on a single job is not sufficient anymore. It’s either you’ll keep on struggling with your finances trying to fit everything or just do everything to increase your sources of income so you won’t live in vain.

^I don't understand why SugaSean wants to jump into boxing and challenge Tank Davis. Yes, he has a strong punching ability but that doesn't mean it's as strong as the boxers who always train their fists. And, he is still building his career in MMA. He may have won the title against Sterling but he needs to prove that he can keep it first. There are still strong fighters out there in UFC so the competition will not stop yet. Defending the belt will be a big trial for him. Hungry fighters will come and he should stay ready because there might be someone else already eyeing to challenge him.

It's all about the money mate, we have seen the precedent with Conor McGregor fighting Floyd and it did bring Conor huge money. So he wanted to follow Conor's footsteps this early. And so he challenge Tank Davis but I doubt that Tank will simply bite on that call.

But I do agree that SugaSean should stay on his own lane right way, he should proved his greatness first in the UFC and become the face of it since Conor is already out of the league and becoming a businessman. And for sure Dana White will not be approving that cross fight if SugaSean requested it.

Yes, there's no other reasons other than money on why would SugaSean try to call out Tank Davis. To be frank, he is way too early to make this step because he haven't made a name in his own field yet which is also a reason why would Tank accept his invitation. There are way more challenges in his current career that he needs to face and jumping towards other sports industry is certainly not an answer because eventually, he will lose himself as money is his only motivation.

Trading signals are mostly unreliable since no one is smart enough to make right predictions in a very unpredictable market. So I don’t suggest following those market trading signals regardless if they come from authentic signal providers or not. Instead, do your own diligence to learn in trading. That way, even if you experience consistent losses from your initial trades, that is just normal, as long as you’ve gained lessons from your losses. And just keep doing the right thing in trading, eventually you’ll improve your knowledge and skills, and make you a profitable trader in the end.

It’s normal to see people wanting bitcoin especially if they know it’s real value not just for today but most especially in the future. And you’re one great example of it, trying to do everything just to acquire bitcoin later on. However, my only advice is that you should stay open minded whatever other bloggers are trying to anticipate about bitcoin. You may find some of them helpful for you later on, while some may not be relevant at all. So stay informed so you will know which would be the right path for you. Also, do not limit yourself on just investing bitcoin alone, if you really want to acquire bitcoin, you can do some crypto jobs that will pay you in bitcoin, but make sure you have the skills that will fit to the job so that they will find you useful and productive.
797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: August 22, 2023, 03:07:34 PM
Only they are unemployed and addicts who linger in gambling. actually it's not that the unemployed have no other activities besides gambling, it's just that they don't want to try to create a business and look for work and think gambling is their job to make a profit and the same goes for those who are addicted to gambling, he deliberately leaves his job to carry out gambling activities.

And likewise when we play gambling, we need to realize that victory doesn't always come every time we play. So it would be wiser if we allocated the winnings to even better things. Compared to having to spend again in gambling in the hope of getting even bigger profits. If so then the profit you get in gambling ends in vain.
Not everyone have the idea of doing business or working for a firm, we just have to do what we do for the purpose of survival. Of gambling favours you, ofcourse you do it relentlessly, because we ought to take where we get our daily income seriously, and nothing should hindered us from achieving our daily targets. Gambling do take time before one would be able to blend in the system. But if an individual is busy, there's every tendency for him to be preoccupation and busy with work, and will definitely not have spare time to gamble. We also have to be extremely careful when dealing with gambling activities, because it can turned out to be really negative impacts in our daily routines.

Regardless, gambling should only be approached with extreme care whether if you're into entertainment or money making business because if you're not careful enough and don't have the proper mindset before commencing then don't be surprised that you suddenly have gone overboard than your supposed allocated budget towards your activity.

It's not that we're still new to this stuffs, in fact, we already got tons of examples just to get us away from addiction and debts but sometimes, situations do come in an unexpected ways that is why we should be ready for it.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 22, 2023, 01:48:01 PM


I think the teams which try to get these players have to figure out if it is a good idea to give up what they have to bring in these players. I actually do not think that this is a good trade-off. At least not if we think about the future. But one thing is true that if they do end up making the trade and bringing in a huge player like that, they are probably instantly going to get the results. That is probably not going to happen with the players that they have on the team. In future, they might be able to perform better. But that would have definitely taken time. So probably in that scenario, the sacrifice does make sense.

They will get instant result if the player they get is a team player and can easily adopt on management decision, but if the player is self centered one and has an issue of being a toxic player or a teammate no matter how good that player it cannot bring good result to the team. They might just waste their asset for releasing young players which have big potential. Sacrificing doesn't make any sense since just like what those other big stars done for sure they will leave their new teak if they don't like the result of their season performance.

That is given and a team that will acquire these kinds of players should be ready and expect that sometime in the future, they will leave them again and find a better team that they think is more suitable for them and can give their needs. It's not new anymore as the players in this era tend to be more selfish compared to the old good and gold era that players will try their very best to bring the team together and where asking for a trade isn't an option for them as that will just scathe their name.

^ It is true that this is the new era and everyone will have to get along with it. The players right now are kind of a diva. They act like they need all the attention in the world. I very much understand that they are very valuable players. And having valuable players in the team does come with the cost.

And a valuable player is always going to have his demands. in the past, it was kind of a punishing  act because everyone thought that the player is selfish and always thinks about himself only. But now it has actually become pretty normal. And the players are obviously going to take advantage of this situation.

And the funny thing is, most NBA divas are the ones who don't even have any rings to display and they have the audacity to think that they are somewhat more important compared to the other players that their needs should be the top priority of the teams.

Damian Lillard, don't hate me about this, but I will say that he deserves to be exempted in this case because he got his own reasons and we know that, that are much valid, but James Harden? Ben Simmons? I don't really think so. The only reason why the teams are forced to trade them because they are turning into a liability instead of being an asset.
799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: August 21, 2023, 04:03:23 PM
If it happens two years from now when Canelo is in the twilight of his career then I'll go for Crawford but if this happens in May of next year then no doubt I'll go for Canelo as Crawford is just too small for him, I mean he needs at least 2-3 fight to prove his worth on the 168lbs division. I think he is just calling Canelo as this is a money fight for him of the latter took the bait.

And addition to that, it's too early to speculate, I might as well then wish for Charlo to win against Canelo if he is going to fight Crawford next.
But then again, if Canelo wins, this is going to be a big jump for Crawford at 168 lbs, and as you have said, he needs to fine tune his body at this extra weight as I don't believed that he is walking about that weight even off season, 154 lbs seems to be right though for Crawford.
And even if Charlo losses then he goes back to 154 lbs and governing bodies give him back his belt, then I will rather see that fight as they have a beef already.

I remember that he mention that he will change weight class gradually until he reach the division which he can fight Canelo comfortably. This is same process of Pacman when he dominates multiple divisions. Crawford is strong on his division but we know that there's a lot of boxer that destroy their career for aiming higher division while their body is not designed for that specific weight.

Crawford counter is his main weapon. I think he will problem on higher division if his punches doesn't big guys while he is hurt by the power of boxer like Canelo.

I guess he can do that in due time, but for the meantime, he have to face his current situation where he needs to get accustomed at 154 first because that is his first plan after unifying all the belts at 147 pounds, it was just changed a little bit after Charlo made his own move towards Canelo.
I know he can still dominate that weight class but it's much too soon for him to make that climb because aside from that fact that it's risky, that road is still relatively unknown for him.
800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul Vs Nate Diaz boxing Aug 5th on Dazn PPV on: August 21, 2023, 02:27:15 PM
I also have thoughts that if Jake is having a mma fight, that it is going to be PFL. PFL seems to be having money, as they afforded to sign Ngannou. I doubt that Jake needs a lot of time to prepare for mma fight, as he bets more on a boxing career than a mma career. He would put on mma gloves just to get a juicy check (imho he would immediately tap as soon as someone choke or do a submit him). The minor issue would be his opponent. Who would be given a honor to fight him and to earn.
It will be a shame for Nate Diaz to lose against Jake Paul. They'll definitely fight in MMA because as Nate said, in MMA Jake has zero chance and if Nate refuses to fight, Jake can verbally bully him. I believe this fight will 100% happen if Nate Diaz doesn't overdose on Coke.

And I also think that Jake Paul vs Khabib is possible too. There was an interview where they asked Khabib about fight between him and Jake Paul. At first Khabib said that he isn't going to fight and has retired but then when he quickly realized that it was Jake Paul and he would get tons of money, he later said that we can think about this. Khabib is not as honest and ideal man as he seems from outside, he loves money too and tries to mask that. So, I would say, fight between them is possible!

It is indeed, he would be more embarrassed to himself if he gets defeated by someone who is making his debut and this is his sport where he have a vast of experience and wins in his career. Thinking about it, I don't know what would be Nate's situation if that happens but surely, he needs to expect that Jake Paul will not let him forget that knowing that the man is very vocal about his wins and achievement in life.

And that Nate vs Khabib fight? I don't think that is possible, he might've been cornered when he was asked about that because I believe that he will follow his fathers legacy just like he said and will be alongside Islam, and will not step foot in the octagon as a fighter. But if he's dazzled for the money, then I guess you're right, he's not that man we thought he was.
