This is a reminder that we cannot just underestimate what the boxers are risking when they step on the ring.

Sad true! Each time a fighter step inside the ring, he is risking his own life just to fulfil his dream and to entertain those people/fans who
believes that he can win the fight and he can pursue his career.

It's something that this young fighter wanted to be achieved, but his fate has already been dictated after that win, he's no longer can fight, but the memory
of a such young fighter trying to make his way into this sport is something will always be remembered.

The Warriors won by 15 points. That was awesome, and now the series is 3-2. They will still be on the edge in every game, but they have a chance to win the series, especially if they win on the road, which is difficult.

Green and Wiggins made great contributions, but Thompson hasn't found his rhythm yet after having a great Game 2 performance.

The top performers for the Warriors were:

Curry: 27 points
Wiggins: 25 points
Green: 20 points
Yes, and it might be scary because we might see Game 6 Klay at Crypto.com? And I think it's the contribution of Green who really covered what the Warriors is missing on Thompson right now. Although there are reports that AD might not play in Game 6 because of concussions, but I think he will though, he just need to take a rest.

Now the Warriors won on a must win at home, can they do a must win in the road or as the predictions of 6 games for the Lakers will happen next game? Lakers now, opening at -1.5 at home as favorite.

This is really tough for the bettors as Davis might be resting or in a questionable status, if you are aiming for Lakers here, that odd
is something that you might need to re-evaluate as the chance for Davis' absence might give the Warriors a decent chance of winning the game.

If Warriors will duplicate their defense and if after this bad night for Klay, he will bounce back and add that long range threat for the Warriors.

Let's wait for the update or maybe it's good to bet during the live events and enjoy watching the game.
843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: May 10, 2023, 10:16:32 PM

It's aggressive but we do understand where he is coming from, or at least what the boxing body stance is. Inoue has unified all the belts in 118 lbs, meaning he has no challenges already he clean it up and almost knock out everyone.

So in a sense he is above all those 118 lbs and maybe Inoue and his handlers knows that 122 lbs might be the same for the monster. And so the governing body simply allow him as a bonus for being a unified champion to fight the next available champion in the new division with is Stephen Fulton. And he accepted it right away so it's going to be a big acid test for Inoue if he can still climb and dominate the super bantamweight just like what he did at 118 lbs.

If we look at Inoue's achievements, winning here should not be hard as the weight increase is quite minimal. Going from 118 lbs to 122 lbs is not that far, and anyone can do that without compromising their power. Just like Casimero, we've seen how powerful he is is in this weight class, so I expect the same from Inoue.

I know everyone is already anticipating the fight, but we should be patient as Inoue will make sure he is 100% ready once the fight happens.

Indeed, Inoue should not have any problem after jumping to this new weight class, not by far from his previous division
and if analysing the capability, he's not going to have a hard time.

Though we also need to consider the class of those opponents from this division, especially the current champ, who also have the good records to defend.

Let see how both fighters will entertain their fans and who's going to dominate from one another.

Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment and what did they do? Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment


The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.

Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.

Bet as you can sustain and not allow your emotions have a better part of you.


Ignorant and negligence taught them a life lesson and they thought they can revert back the lost money by just filing that someone else made the transfer from their account, but its too easy to find such kind of tricks with the help of banking and casino network.

About the context of the title you can't blame anyone for the loss you made, cause you did the action so it's fair you have to face the reaction as well.

Exactly, with the help of the technology, it's not hard to trace where the transactions came from and even you'll try to hide those important information, it will gonna reveal itself since there's a trace from the receiving ends and processors.

You can't hide that fact and it's not a wise thing to do, trying to blame someone with your mistake, you are the one who are in charge with such actions that you made, it's a sad fact but nothing to be blame but those persons itself who made these actions.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 10, 2023, 12:42:20 PM
If the person is not willing to admit that there's already a problem with how they manage their gambling activities, expect that there
are worse things to happen, that person needs more attentions to make them realize.

I'm following your point in which the problem will continue and it goes deeper if the person will not address the issue much sooner.

Trying to keep in touch and always reminds the person may give them some hint that their addiction is no longer controllable
and there's already a need to seek for professionals.
That's right, such people should always have someone by their side who can divert their mind whenever they want to gamble and that one person can be a best friend, a spouse, a sibling, or even a parent. The person who is addicted will surely not be able to control the urge themselves but if there is someone available with them to accompany them, that might change their mind.

You can't take an addict out of their addiction simply by saying that they shouldn't do what they are addicted to, but you will need to find ways that can divert their mind and engages them in something else and that might help them gain some control.

Exactly the point, you can't just direct them with words but an action is needed to divert their attentions, if the person is very
close to you, then you must find a good way to divert his attentions,.

Putting him in a place where he can avoid some time playing / gambling and give him some breathing to think the right way, best time to have
some serious conversation and give him some hints that he's already getting engage that much.

A good start to bring him back to reality in life and also to allow him to balance his gambling activities and be reasonable in terms of spending
time and money when playing the game.

A people once a gambling addict then they will getting crazy because what ever we do to stop them gambling they will make a way to play or to gamble again. We have the same situation a friend of mine are too addict in gambling and We try to fix him but sad to say we will make a way to gamble again. And Accident happened to his life and one of his family died then that's the time he realize. That he is on a stage of being addict. So we can not change addict people all by themselves if they want to change then they can.
You are right that a person who has become a gambling addict can only be helped if they acknowledge that they are actually in a problem and they want to get out of it, but most of the addicts don't realize it or don't accept that their situation is getting worst and worst and they need a helping hand to get out of that situation.

When they realize it, it's already pretty late and they've already lost a lot of things or in some cases, everything. That is why one needs to always try and control their emotions when they are gambling and don't let themselves get too deep.

If the person is not willing to admit that there's already a problem with how they manage their gambling activities, expect that there
are worse things to happen, that person needs more attentions to make them realize.

I'm following your point in which the problem will continue and it goes deeper if the person will not address the issue much sooner.

847  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: May 09, 2023, 10:48:22 AM
I think salaried job is better than commission job. There are more opportunities here. There are many benefits in the job, the benefits of the job are their security responsibility, the workload is somewhat less, retirement benefits are available. In case of commission jobs, the salary is high but the workload is high. Minimum protection in house rent for low salaried masses has been simplified and simplified in traveling allowance. Recreational leave is available but the pay is low but there is a lot of peace.
Your preference is what you think is a good one.

Those people that are in the commissioned jobs will say that the best job is the commission basis job because they're earning more than the salary man if they're on their peak season or if they're more hardworking.

I also like job security but there's also some enticing moments in the commission type of jobs. That's why you do you and what you prefer in terms of these type of jobs.

A good example that may be included in this kind of opportunities are those who are working with Insurance and real state.
Most are being paid as commission and those who are involved are satisfied with how they earned their commissions, especially
when they close a huge price deals.

And it's true that there are always differences when people think about security and how they will going to put themselves into this
two options that will generate them for their needs.
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 09, 2023, 10:38:57 AM

I think the team should trade Jordan Poole since he hasn't been as useful as he was during the last playoffs. I'm not sure what happened to him, but since receiving a huge contract, his stats have dropped significantly.
If the Warriors fall to the Lakers, there will be no more opportunity for Jordan Poole to prove himself. He has been inconsistent, especially in the postseason, and it's unlikely that the team will still consider him as a player to grow with. I'm not sure if the Warriors made a mistake by giving him a max contract instead of Draymond, but I think they may be regretting that decision now.

That kind of decision will happen after this semis. I also see that change from Poole after receiving that max contract. He's playing inconsistently
he might be eaten by that pride thinking that he's already a star-diva.  Roll Eyes

Still one more game to keep their chance, but 3-1 and against the Lakers where both LeBron and AD are playing healthy, it's a tough series to come back and a possible snatch.

All will be concluded once the management announces updates with what they'll going to do after this season!

850  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bear Market Reaches $27605 - Will the Downtrend Continue?" on: May 08, 2023, 08:43:03 PM
As far as I know, we have not yet gotten over the Bear market, we are currently in transition so the market may look bullish and at the same time bearish.  It depends on the market sentiment for now.  Since there had been this network congestion and the tx fee hike, I believe the bearish market sentiment take over and that is the reason we had some price decline right now.  I think if the congestion and tx fee does not return to normal, we might see another price crash ahead.

We are still in that stage and it's good to see that you pointed the transaction fees, if this congestion will continue, we might see more
collapse to take place, considering that investors and traders are being move any related news regarding to how crypto is moving.

though I can also say that we might see another bounce just like what happened few weeks ago, a dump take place but Bitcoin managed to bounce back.

Maybe it's better to observe and make another good analysis before buying if you are planning to add some inside your wallet.
851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin in Student Life on: May 08, 2023, 08:23:20 PM
Investing in bitcoin offers better returns than depositing money in a bank. But as you said, investment is profit or loss, everything is risky, and bitcoin is no exception. I advocate when you invest in bitcoin, but remember one thing, only invest as much as you can afford to lose, and diversifying your portfolio is essential. Don't focus on just one asset, as the future is unpredictable.

Aside from the bitcoin investment, I think it's important for you now to have some savings. You probably won't need it now, but you may need it in the future for emergencies. Because your bitcoin investment doesn't always give a positive return, there will come a time when our portfolio loses, and we won't want to use it.
I suggest you focus first on your studies more than investing. Investing may be good and profitable but only for those who have high experiences in an investment. However, if you really want to invest, just invest a small amount so that if your investment does not work out, at least you will never face financial problems. And always be open for some losses, as bitcoin investment for newbies is mostly into losing than making profits.

Investing is good if you have good knowledge with the venue that you'll going to use, right now we are talking about
crypto, and the risk factor is high compared to other investment.

But everything will depend on how you understand the potential and the risk if you can handle that then it's good to start even in your young age.

Take time to add more knowledge about this venue of investment and use small amount for now and see if how things will work for you.

I lost my 2 picks but it is alright getting to go bounce for tomorrow's games,


That's the spirit! I lost my bet on the Nuggets too, but you know there's always tomorrow, so bouncing back is the best option. My bet for tomorrow is the Warriors moneyline. I have a feeling that they'll even the series in a close game.



Try to analyze again and try to bounce back, like what you said. There's always another. day you just need to come back strong and
let your analysis together with your luck to win for you.

It might be a close game for Warriors and Lakers, as both will adjust and will try to win over another. Warriors good a decent odd here @2.22.

Something that will trigger the fans and bettors to pick that ML and hope for the best outcome.
853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: May 08, 2023, 06:17:09 PM
the martingale strategy really sucks, I'm better off using the flat betting strategy in all of my bets, I prioritize long-term profits rather than dreaming of big profits in a short time

That's a bit of a weird statement. Both strategies (flat bets and martingale) have exactly the same odds and in the long-run, your net result (profit or loss) should be exactly the same in both cases.
The only difference is psychological and depends on your discipline, e.g. in flat betting, it might be easier to stop and accept the loss.



Yup, nothing but the discipline that you will go to implement whatever strategy you are planning to use while playing,
both flat and martingale strategy have good potential outcome if you can stop at the right time.

It's more on your self-control, both winning or losing. You should have set the limitation that you will use to make sure that you will not be overstaying inside the house.

If you can do that, the chance is good for you to earn some decent amount out from your gambling.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: May 07, 2023, 10:10:04 PM
I believe you still require more information regarding how gambling operations. I think you don't understand what gambling is. Do you realize that gambling is another method to waste money as you must lose in order to win? I believe you attempt to find other ways to earn $100 each day. I think you'll lose about 70% of your money before you turn a 30% profit.Although it depends on the type of bet you place, if you place large bets you might be able to earn $100 per day, it won't be as frequent as you claim as far as gambling goes. Therefore, you shouldn't plan ahead and estimate a large sum of money because you risk losing your partner if you do.  Since even the work we do in real life is very difficult for some of us to make that kind of money man, when you think you'll be able to make $100 per day, I believe that is impossible in gambling


Well on the other hand mate I think there are people who are doing extremely  well in gambling and living their dream lives which oppose all you've said.
What truly matters is how well you do this thing and what type of games you'll be betting on and I think it will be better you first invest in getting the right knowledge  about what you're about getting into  as the industry is a very hungry one and always ready to celebrate of defeat.

Making  a hundred dollar off such capital is very possible  and it even will be more easier to make profits using such capital and I will advise that you get a direct one on one mentorship  on what to do and what to avoid as well.

Having the right knowledge is something that is very important before you jump into conclusion whether you can achieve your target amount,
with good idea with how gambling works and what type of gambling to use.

Something that you should consider, the risk factor and the emotion that you need to embrace whenever you play or bet with your favorite game.

Always have the diligences to investigate and make sure that you are capable and willing to take your extra step in learning
various ideas to enhance your chances of winning.
855  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing. on: May 07, 2023, 06:15:55 PM
so in essence social media has opened up new opportunities for business people or new people who have just launched a business. Even with our own creativity, we can bring in income through social media. namely by becoming a content creator. And now many are doing it and making a lot of profit from it. some even focus on becoming content creators. because currently content creator on social media is even considered a promising job. it's just that the competition is tougher.

This was the right evolvement because social media has become a part of our everyday life, iif questions are been asked, you'll be surprised if how many people make use of at least one social media platform daily so it was only right that we can make money from where we spend the most of our days at. Job itself is getting a new look that now your job doesn't have to be boring for it to bring income.

The monetizing of social media has also help the social media platforms as they attract new customers both for content creating and consumption. The content creators bring in the customer to the social platforms and they get paid for that and for also keeping the customers entertained.
Correct. and there is a cycle of mutual benefit chain between social Media Platforms and their users. Everything has the same benefit in making money. Especially for artists. they become easier to build popularity through social media. And even ordinary people can promote themselves if they have artist-like skills. so now many new artists are popping up from social media.

For large companies, they can even read market trends from the reactions and interactions of people on social media.

The algorithm makes it easier for business owners to find those people who have a good interest in their offered products,
We can't remove that fact social media are more on business now, unlike before.

The changes are quite good for startup businesses as they can also use the platform to promote their products and reach not only their close relatives and friends but also other people who have the same interests.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: May 07, 2023, 03:36:19 PM
The question though is, is Crawford will consider being under again a big promoter? Since becoming a free agent, he never show any signs or hint that he wants to be under again by any promoters.
That's a good question. I think he is just testing to see if he can be successful without a promoter like he used to be. However, if he doesn't get a fight, then eventually he'll have to find a promoter that will help him since he has no other option. I like Crawford because he challenges the best fighters, like Spence Jr., but it's unfortunate that Spence did not respond by signing a contract. So, that fight remains a dream for boxing fans.

He explore with a big risk for his career and so far we don't see any good impact as he still doesn't have any big fight that may bring him
huge amount of money together with a possible belt.

Calling for a fight for Spence but there's no contract signing yet, so I agree that it will continue to be a dream unless Spence will show interest and sign.

For now, nothing yet as there's no update from both sides, same with the topic here regarding to Thurman and Spence fight.
857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 06, 2023, 05:47:05 PM

Some people do that to escape the feeling if being guilty in their own negligence and mostly they blane the casino as rigged one since they want to create situation maybe a part of revenge that they are scam and each result is manipulated that's why they lose.  Not everyone can easily handle the situation and good for people who can accept immediately on what they are receiving and try to become more better on next time around.
Actually, it is a defense mechanism. In order for a person not to be felt accountable or if don't want to be responsible for his or her losses he will blame other people or some other things just to make himself feel better and comfortable.

Yes, that's mostly embedded to us as human nature, things that we don't want to be accountable, and we wanted to point our fingers
to blame someone just to satisfy our guilt.

Quote
We should be the one who will be accountable for everything that we are doing especially when we are betting and when we lose too much because of our greed then we should not point it to other people or to the current scenario we are facing.

And we can't remove that in fault finder even it's your own mistake you will always find ways to throw those blame to other people
just to stay and continue what you are doing with your gambling habits.
858  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your take on the pump coming? on: May 06, 2023, 04:29:50 PM
The best preparation is to buy before the pump, currently the price is still cheap or only around 40% compared to the ATH that occurred in 2021, if this year we can recover or get close to ATH then we will easily get 200% profit, so don't miss the opportunity to buy with cheap price now.

If you believe that the pump for a new ATH is still possible, it's best to buy and hold and continue to keep buying on whatever value
the market will offer to you.

It's a good way to save more coins while waiting for the possible pump. There's always a chance that the price will bounce and will try to break a new ATH.

It's something that you always need to research and study, following how the market is moving and trying to position
your investment to make something decent when the actual pump happened.
859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 06, 2023, 03:55:34 PM
Booker went crazy tonight for the Suns. Him and Durant both put up big numbers but his efficiency stands out as what made the difference in this game. I figured the Suns would bring it tonight. This win gives them a little life as the series is now 2-1 with the nuggets still in the lead. If the Suns can win the next one then they’ll have some hope after all.

Good to see that getting Durant is coming into fruition specially in this game, they needed a win and the duo make sure everything will be on their side. Specially Devin Booker, he has been crazy in this playoff even in the first round.

But this is the first time that we have seen him like playing MVP and doesn't want to exit early against the top seed Nuggets. Although they have a good lead early, the Nuggets was able to close down but the good thing is that they have Durant to help Devin on the offensive side.

I think both stars are not willing to make an early exit. That's why we have seen them playing like there's no tomorrow anymore,
both played so well, as we see from the stats that they've produced today.

I like seeing them really preventing the Nuggets from making that momentum and shift the tempo, then snatch the game away from them in front of their fans.

Booker as always, he brings his talent and really taking that extra mile to lift the team, while we also see Durant making his
own way, contributing and helping from both sides.

The game is based on luck and you know you couldn't be that lucky every day. It's not possible. If there is a strategy that would make money every day, we would all be doing it already.

This is not the kind of game that we use to play where there are numbers as clues on every block. It's pure guessing which one doesn't explode.
Gambling is a game of chance and luck, and it’s very impossible to have that luck everyday. At some point, you may win because you were lucky, but in gambling, it’s mostly you incur losses than winnings, simply because you were not lucky all the time. And strategies don’t work in gambling, that’s why never gamble a huge amount that you can’t afford to lose, otherwise your finances will sucked.

A game of chances and luck, it's always better to make a good assessment before you proceed with any plan that you have,
thinking of winning a good amount or a target amount of money is really hard.

But if you have good discipline and you know how to control yourself in terms of emotions and whatever other factors that may affect your decision making

The more you know how to set your limitation, the better chance that you may succeed with your plan, but always remember
gambling is always accompanied by risk, so make sure that you are willing to take that risk.
