861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Control Your Emotions and Win More Bets on: September 16, 2023, 04:45:01 PM
Q

Not having enough control over your emotions can also make you more vulnerable to becoming a gambling addict since you wouldn't be able to differentiate between when you need to stop and when you need to start gambling again and that affects your time and activities in normal life.

An unstable emotion is already subjected to consistent playing because you want to chase the losses that you have encountered. Like you have alluded, someone who doesn't have that total control over his emotion is likely to play out all his life savings when he is losing out, such is a bed thing to do but addicts comfortably would do that because they are always in "expectation " of a huge winning that never comes to pass.

But it can be overcome as long as that gambler will dedicate some time to learn the basics of it and know when to start and end an activity towards gambling. Sometimes, we are allowed to chase our losses as long as we know what we are doing and we know the chances of it, but without proper mindset, that gambler will just run in circles without any plans when to stop until he will realize that he is already in the point of no return. Might be unfortunate, but at that time, he will then again have another chance but sadly, he already wasted too much resources in running around.

Another possibility is if Giannis is willing to adjust with his salary for the sake of another title, which may be far from reality, it's more on
the money side and no longer on any pride or any title in my opinion.

But we never know if he can adjust or if Warriors are also interested in him. Maybe they will adjust or maybe they will be willing to pay
for it and also with the luxury tax obligation.

It will be tough, but we never know how or if it's possible if both camps will agree on something.
That would be a stupid move by Giannis. He is already an MVP and FMVP at the current moment, he is already one of the best, and he already won a title as well. His place at Hall of Fame is already guaranteed, how many title winning MVP's and FMVP's ended up not getting into Hall of Fame before? I am sure none of them ever did.

I think it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with something that would be a difficult thing in the end. I think the best thing to do would be allowing a situation that would be great to handle on the long term. I hope that it gets to a point where it would have to be something that would be tougher on the money side, he should accept as much money as possible for now.

That all depends to him though, we don't know Giannis that much and that statement of him was already a clue that he is looking forward to another championship title and that is the priority, money comes in second because it will always follow him as long as he can be valuable to any team mainly now that he already proved what he can do in the league. Now, the question that everyone is curious about, will the Milwaukee Bucks do anything about it? Or they will just sit tight again and risk losing Giannis.

With the negative changes that is happening in our global economy, I can really see it that it might collapse in the near future. With that, my priority will be the same as others priority, that is to prepare and maximize my bitcoin portfolio. Aside from that, I am also trying to get in touch with some physical businesses as well. That means I'm up to establish some businesses that will also attract passive income hopefully. Although there might be inevitable risks, but as long as I'm knowledgeable about it and I'm prepared for those risks, then moving forward will always be my goal.
865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Preparations for BTC Halving and bull market on: September 15, 2023, 08:08:08 PM
Investing into bitcoin is risk free, and gives the best profit. How can this be achieved is a an unknown myth. Based on my understanding whether the market is predicted to be bullish or bearish we should have the positive thinking. When we stay positive our act should be the same. For this it is always good to keep ourselves prepared to face the worst market situation. When we've kept our portfolio ready to face any form of fluctuations we can stay successful in the market.

Every halving used to bring bullish move in the market. Considering it, accumulating as much possible is good. However we should also be cautious while doing it. While spending the spare money no need to panic, if we're spending the money allocated for something else we need to be observing the market closely to book the profit and take the profit leaving the capital.
History might still repeat itself and bring a lot of profits to those who deserve it. This is the reason why we need to take part in the preparation for the next halving and we can only do that through filling up our portfolio with potential coins like bitcoin. The more we get to store bitcoin in our portfolio, the higher our future profits will be. Through DCA, we can always achieve that goal. But we should never forget that investing using our spare money is important so that if the price will have to drop in the future, at least we can avoid from panic selling as we don't need our funds yet that badly. Investing for long term goal should always be encourage.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 on: September 15, 2023, 05:23:13 PM
I'm not really viewing Takuma as a threat because he doesn't have that one punch like his brother does.

We should disregard Takuma Inoue being the younger brother of Naoya Inoue when it comes to analyzing the fight.

Instead, we can consider saying that Takuma might not be a threat to Ancajas because of;

a) fighting experience
b) not a Knock Out specialist
c) the WBO Bantamweight title he owned was vacant prior

But personally for me, threat or not, I don't want to think that Takuma Inoue should be an easy fight for Ancajas. He is now a champion and will defend his first-ever WBO Bantamweight title in front of his fellow countrymen. It will fuel more to unleash his best performance as a champion.

Yes, so there's a lot of the shoulders of Takuma Inoue right now. I mean his brother has set precedence in the bantamweight already and we can say that he might want to follow his brother path too to become undisputed by it will not be very easy.
Because in his first title defense, it will be against a former champion and have a good knockout power in Jerwin Ancajas.
And we all know that Jerwin has all the tools to become a world champion again. And so Takuma Inoue here might be in danger losing his first title defense.
Unless he really trains very hard, but then again, even if he is the brother of the Monster, he can't be help by him once the bells ring.
With that majority here might go with Ancajas to win and it will be impressive if he can score a knockout.

That is his reality, he might want to follow his brother's footsteps because that is the goal but he cannot do anything about it because fact is, he is not viewed as a threat in this division. He may be a champion now but judging how he fights in the ring and his record, I can say that he won't be holding these belts for a long time, what more if he thins about unifying all of it. Let's say for example that he ducked Ancajas in this case and chose to pursue the other champions, namely Moloney or Rodriguez, I think his chances will remain the same, only slim.

Well, Takuma , I see that he is a very good boxer, of course he doesn't have the Genius that his brother has, but he is there, I think that with Ancajas he can make some of the difference, what we want to achieve, although to be honest and without me If there is nothing left inside, I would say that Ancajas is a high-class boxer, he has a very good boxing manner, he must also be in contact with his brother, perhaps some advice from his brothers that he does not like at all , because that makes the difference Also, there is also something that cannot be denied, which is their DNA and the Inoue is a total bomb, and I would think that irugal Ancajas should be careful, because if Takuma has the same discipline as his brother, well I would worry, because they are of those who train day and night, because as it should be, there is no other way in boxing, things should be like that, because if not the one who speaks out the most in his training, can be the winner, and I am one of those who believe that if the Let him have a harder training because he is the winner , in fact it is like that.

Let's expect that because I bet they are training under the same roof and Inoue, as an older brother, he will surely give some hints to his younger brother, Takuma, knowing that he will be needing it in his title defense because Jerwin is not that kind of boxer that can be cracked easily. Maybe they will watch some of Jerwin's fight to help them solve the problem, and Jerwin, knowing that he will be studied well, I hope he will be versatile on the ring so that he can be unpredictable because this is also his chance to be a champion again. Although defeating Takuma is not really a feat but he should do it because of the championship belt that is on the line.
867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: September 15, 2023, 03:26:52 PM

Mike has to teach Francis how to get closer to find the range, Mike is smart enough to have done this against his opponents. If Francis can't get close, he will never get an opportunity to land a punch.

It doesn't look like they are very much into thrashing. Francis pointing at the bod looks like a good meme. We're going to see a lot of memes after the fight and it wouldn't even matter for Francis if he loses the fight since it's already expected against the pro but it would be a hilarious meme if Fury loses though.

I believe that it is their plan, Ngannou cannot make any difference if he will stay beyond Fury's reach because that will also mean that he will have a hard time reaching the latter. It's much better for them to have a confrontation in the guise of a toe-to-toe fight because they got more chances that way, but it's a challenge though if Ngannou can survive it because his stamina will be a problem as he is not built to be a boxer who can last up to 12 rounds while giving and receiving deadly blows.

In the 5th round, Francis would be a flatliner. He needs the fight to end quickly in less than 5 rounds or he'll be the one on the ground lying. Francis is still slow which would be the kind of worrying if you are to bet on him. I saw his training with Mike on YouTube, he is not as quick still especially with a boxing glove.

If he is to win the fight, I think the strategy is to just body shots at Fury. It's an easier target than the head but he also has to be cautious of the counter. As much as I want Francis to win, its not gonna be a park walk.

I don't really believe those videos because it wouldn't be a surprise if they will show what they will do and what are his improvements as we know that Fury will also take advantage of those video to prepare against Ngannou. A lot can happen but I do agree that Ngannou should find a way to end the fight much earlier he wanted to win because as the fight gets longer, his chance becomes slimmer and slimmer until he can no longer avoid defeat.
868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 15, 2023, 02:59:19 PM
Canelo will definitely be favoured by the fans. And it is absolutely true that a lot of people know him, even the casual fans as well. But Crawford especially when compared to Canelo is definitely a little less popular in my opinion. But just because we are comparing which fighter is going to have bigger support, does not mean that the fight is not going to be interesting. The fight is really going to be interesting and both of them will be able to bring a lot of people to see this fight. It is I think we can say that this is a much-anticipated fight and the pay-per-view is surly going to be big for this one, if this happens, of course.

There is no need to have such comparison because we all know that Canelo have his whole country to back him in every fight he had, and he will have in the future while Crawford doesn't have that much as the whole USA is somehow divided because they also have their own picks and some of the fans from the US are also backing Canelo.

If only this fight will be determined by how many fans they have, I won't be surprised if Canelo got twice or thrice than Crawford. But since it won't be judged that way, there is only one way to find out and that is to let this two fight.

If these two end up fighting, it is surely going to be a bigger support for Canelo. And that is probably going to give him a good boost of confidence. Definitely, he is going to be the better fighter if this fight happens. But that is the bigger question, if this fight is going to happen or not.

The people in the USA cannot even decide if they are a man or a woman. And how can they decide which fighter to support? LOL. Jokes aside, I am not saying that people cannot have preferences of their own. But the people of the USA are not such a big fan of Crawford, as the Mexican people support Canelo.

Boost of confidence in-terms of the amount of people that will be supporting him in case their fight will be pushed through but it's still hard to say if it will happen or not because Canelo is still deciding whether he will accept the invitation or not because a fight against Crawford will not give him any benefits aside from the money that will on the pot once it will materialize. But for Crawford, he surely got nothing to lose because he doesn't have anything on that weight class aside from his record that is on the line.
869  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself. on: September 14, 2023, 08:55:08 PM
Buying an iphone just for texting, taking photos  and calls and not for business purpose is purely a wasteful spending. It's dumb to spend money on a phone that has an expiring value of at most 12months and a new set coming into the market with a difference of one or two added features. Even if I don't want to buy bitcoin I can buy a plot of land with an iPhone 14pro amount and in the next 12 months that land value will surely appreciate.

People that are crazy for iphones are no different from gambling addicts that spends money they could use to invest on promising businesses that will be profitable in the future.

Only a handful of people need the new hi-end model every year.

That would be famous people that are getting a perk for showing off the phone so that morons that do not need it keep buying one.

Also a handful of business types need to 'look' impressive.

The reality is you can't replace the battery it will not last a long time and when reception is poor they don't work.

If I am using a phone and the reception is poor it is annoying but I spent say 300 on a samsung a53 and the moron next to me spent 1000 plus on his new iPhone.  we both don't have service but I have 700 worth of btc sitting in a wallet.
Both are annoyed but you still gained an advantage because you have bitcoin investment waiting ahead and if it’s gonna give you decent amount of profits in the future, then buying iPhone will be so much easier. The fact that you prioritize bitcoin over an iPhone makes you an incredibly good decision maker. Bitcoin can be very lasting and will continue to give you money and profits, but iPhone will soon to devalue a year after so it’s like you holding a useless investment.

According to betting companies, the championship favorite of the 2023-24 season is Boston Celtics!
Maybe they can be this year, but it's hard to say for sure, because other teams are also favorites this year. One of my favorites is Phoenix Suns.
This year’s championship is definitely the Suns’ to lose. The only things that could stop them is injuries or lack of team chemistry. If they can stay healthy and get a full season in, I don’t see anyone stopping them.

Seems too much to ask, I'd say. Lack of chemistry might be a problem but they can always fix that as they will have a lot of room to adjust while the season have just started but hoping that they won't be injured? Only time can tell and as far as I can remember, they are really struggling about that because they cannot skip a single season without facing any hurdles.

Giannis today saying he’s going wherever the odds of him winning a championship are the best might as well have been a goodbye to Milwaukee.
He already gave a sign and it will be the Milwaukee Bucks call whether they will take that lightly or not but if they cannot make this season any interesting, they better be ready when Giannis will be forcing his way.

Assuming you are not fan of Bitcoin, saving your money in the bank still the best option than saving your money anywhere. The bank is insured so if there is a mismanagement of funds that leads to a shutdown of the bank you get your money back and in full. And you can even sue them if they refused to give you your money. A casino can shut down today and disappear without a trace. You can't take them to court. No one will be held responsible aside from you.

Exactly! I mean, why would someone want to keep their money in a casino? What's the point? People are so busy doing the opposite thing because they don't trust casinos with their money and then I find something like this that casino can also be a vault. It's ridiculous, nobody in the right mind would do such careless things as it's like you're just giving your money away.

~snip~

I agree with the last few words you said that parents must supervise every activity their children do to avoid this bad situation because gambling is currently growing very fast and advertisements everywhere are related to gambling so this supervision is very important and be alert if the child's behavior is a bit different.
That's correct actually and it's really important for parents to always monitor their kids to prevent them from developing addictions or getting involved in suspicious activities that aren't suitable for their young age. Keeping kids under control is essential as it will benefit them in exploring the world of gambling when they are older and understand what they should and should not do.

Might as well discourage them first and give them another options that are much useful to them like something that will help them in figuring out their passion that could lead them to an additional income, you know helpful things that involves a bright tomorrow because we know that they are still relatively young to know and think about gambling.
873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: September 13, 2023, 04:53:34 PM
Oh that's good to hear that he has his own gym now, I mean that's how you give back to your community. Of course he can used it personally to train if he has incoming fights. But it will also give other younga and upcoming boxers to train there as it could have a good facility. Until those gym that Manny used when he was still in the beginning of his career. Although it could have help Filipino boxers to get used to obscured boxing arena's and fight, but still good if there will be some gyms that they can start with par with many gyms in the world. No odds yet though, so we will have to wait for a bit and see what options we had that will likely give us a good return or profits betting on John Riel Casimero here.

Yeah, the gym is very helpful for those youngsters who want to be boxers as they have now a facility where they can practice for free and if they are serious enough and become a prodigy then that could alleviate them from poverty as most of the kids that are training in Casimero's gym came from poor families. Good thing that Quadro Alas provided some of the kids that have potential the equipment like running shoes and shorts for training.

This is the kind of sport that we should also focus on, a sport in which we can dominate the world, similar to what Manny Pacquiao has achieved. I believe we have the talent, but we lack the necessary facilities. So, these popular boxers who are already earning a decent income are a blessing, especially if they are helping potential boxers in the future. Eventually, we will have a Filipino champion again, and I hope Casimero will be able to return to the top before announcing his retirement.

No question about the genuine intention to help young boxers; however, the lack of facilities is a significant hindrance, preventing some from pursuing their dreams. With this action, it will inspire the young ones to continue chasing their dreams. I believe that when more and more talents focus on boxing, we might see another Manny Pacquiao in the future.

To be honest, I want to see people united again while watching boxing. Right now, there hasn't been a popular boxer that most Filipinos follow every time he has a fight. It could be Casimero, but his character in the ring is not the same as Pacman's, so he does not easily gain support.

And he is not really that courageous like Pacquiao who always seeks a good match up even if people are already looking at the opposite side, still he charges towards them like he doesn't care at all and will instead give his best towards his own preparation so that he will go inside the ring ready, he may be the winner or defeated, the important thing for him is that he tried and did his best. Afterwards, he will have his own time to bounce back after that loss, and knowing Pacquiao, he always have many reasons to stay determined.

When we are doing something that we know is not incorrect or immoral but that we know other people may consider it to be the case then it is better to keep it a secret, as if you tell someone about the fact that you gamble and then that person tells to someone else you could easily end up facing some issues you never wanted to face with that person, however slowly but surely those outdated ideas against gambling are being left behind as gambling becomes more popular.

The right and wrong thing was based on the individual,some things are correct to some person.The same thing was wrong to other set of people,hacking was the illegal and unethical one.But to the hacker,the same was ethical one.Because they earn using the hacking,it was their own profession.The gambling itself not an ethical one to the Islamic community,other community people will try to use gambling as the real profession.So everything will be differ from person to person.If you are from the Muslim community,you can do the gambling with secret.Because the people from your community will do criticise your playing in the gambling.

Cultural differences is a big factor and yes, coming from your example regarding to hacker it was their profession and they find it profitable and there are also experienced gamblers who use gambling as a source of income, by following your statement, it's possible that there are times or there are people who want their gambling participation discreetly while other don't mind whatever behind them and will just move forward as long as there's no illegality with what they are doing, they've got that mindset that it's their money so it's their possession to control and to do whatever they like to do considering that gambling is part of their activities.

The issue of legality will be an important thing in gambling, when gambling is legal in your country then gambling has become a normal and common thing to do. However, when gambling becomes an illegal activity and is not permitted, then gambling becomes taboo and prohibited.
People who openly gamble are of course aware of what will happen, perhaps they will not question their gambling status. But there are some people who keep their gambling a secret. Now gambling is easy for anyone to access.

Now that gambling is easy to access, we can't tell who are those that involves with gambling, they can discreetly play and enjoy while for those people who are open with their activities they can also use it to have some extra earnings, I mean, streamer nowadays are very open with what they are doing and even they involve themselves into gambling they share it and openly provide the links or ref links of their accounts.

Yes, people nowadays have more ways to be discreet about their activity because they can just play and gamble inside their own homes compared to the decades before where people usually go out and find a casino just to gamble while also risking their identity to the people they don't want to know that they are gambling. I mean, they are not literally hiding the fact but it's just that there are some certain things that we don't want to talk about publicly.

Being a crypto affiliate or an influencer is not actually bad, it gets only bad when you want to influence your audience with wrong information so you can achieve your own goal. However, not all crypto influencers are desperate enough to feed people with lies so that they can convince them to believe in them. Some are doing their best to show to the people the reality about trading and let them understand about it.

Personally, I think the reason why traders still trying hard to be successful on YouTubing or crypto affiliating it’s because they want to maximize their potentials as a successful trader. Aside from the fact that they are making decent income from YouTubing or being a crypto influencer, there’s also high chances that they can also bring some big positive changes into other people’s lives. That is, if those people follow the advices from reputable traders.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 12, 2023, 04:05:48 PM
All leagues use the power of money to bring in players so there is no reason to exclude the Saudi League it's just that the Saudi League is a little late in using the power of money, not only Saudi even the American League also uses the same method. Now young players and old players have their own place to compete imagine if there was no Saudi League maybe we wouldn't see Ronaldo and Benzema playing again.
We can't blame the Saudi League because they are buying various players from Europe for money. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the clubs that are in the Saudi League have the financial power to use that financial power to bring players from Europe to Saudi Arabia. When Manchester United began to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo, no other club in Europe expressed interest in signing Ronaldo. When no team in Europe showed interest in taking Ronaldo, if Ronaldo had not received an offer from Saudi Arabia, his football career might have ended there, but because of Saudi Arabia, we still see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. Now maybe most of the stars come to Saudi Arabia at the end of their career but after a few seasons it will be seen that many young footballers will come to Saudi Arabia to build their career.

Well, if we're talking about the league in Europe, it's somehow safe to say that clubs that has money is indeed not interested in acquiring Ronaldo anymore but for the smaller clubs, they want him as it's hard to think that they are not, it's just that they cannot afford Ronaldo that is why they are just silent about it. Furthermore, there are also some clubs in US soil that are keen to have him. Let's say if he wasn't called out by Al-Nassr, he would be playing in US, just like Messi because there, their talents are still worth it.

Same with you, Canelo's fan based might bring that money plus the fact that interest if how Crawford will try to snatch the belt under Canelos possession.

We need more updates regarding to any possibility of this possible match up to take place,.

Yeah! you're right because this is the right time to make that fight happen cause Crawford is at the peak of his career and popularity which is why they need to look for a bigger stadium next time in order to make it a real historical event in the boxing history. This is how it should be, no drama whatsoever unlike with Spence they took a long time before they finally stepped in the ring. Crawford wants to make it happen, then Canelo should win his fight and then make Crawford's dreams come true.

It will still Canelo though as the A-side if he decided to fight Crawford.
Because it's obvious that he can still bring fans to whatever stadium is it and so it will result in a good live gate numbers.
Not saying that Crawford can't bring fans, but we all know that he hasn't had that following for casual fans, only hardcore boxing fans are familiar with him.
But the likes of Canelo wherein the whole country is behind it, he is really huge for the last 5 years or so.
And with that, the numbers, PPV and live gate will be very big if ever this fight is going to happen in the next coming months.

That is not a problem for Terence Crawford, let's not forget that the man was even ready to accept as low as 30% share just to make the Spence vs Crawford undisputed fight to reality. But even that, it wasn't enough to have an agreement as it almost took another year for them to finally agree on something and decided to materialized it. So in this case, I don't think that Crawford will heed for a much bigger money/share as he know that Canelo will always move a country in his fights.

But personally for me, threat or not, I don't want to think that Takuma Inoue should be an easy fight for Ancajas. He is now a champion and will defend his first-ever WBO Bantamweight title in front of his fellow countrymen. It will fuel more to unleash his best performance as a champion.

Right, weighing the options whom to bet while also thinking that Takuma got the name of an Inoue as he is the younger brother will somehow cloud our judgement and that will not help us in determining which player got more chances because having the Inoue name will somehow speak louder rather than knowing the real facts to give our bets a better chances.

Although, I couldn't help but think what does Takuma felt? I mean, people will always see him in Naoya's shadow because they both share the same name and people will always compare them because they are opposite. To say the truth, I know that it doesn't feel right but that is his reality as they are both in the same industry.
I guess he can't do anything about it, the stigma will be there him and his brother being compared. It's not that first time though that we have seen brothers in boxing, we have the Charlo brothers as well, but only Jermell is the active one.

But to get out of that stigma, I guess what Takuma should do is to just fight and win, simply as that. Of course, he can set this goal to be undisputed, but it's going to be very difficult as there are a lot of great champions in this division. And unless he has the power like his brother, gonna be hard for him, just saying.

Talking about some siblings who are a professional boxers, Manny Pacquiao also have a brother named Bobby Pacquiao who was somehow successful in his path during his time but people are also comparing because they are both different from each other. Just like Takuma and Naoya, but in Pacquiao sibling's case, Bobby decided to step down much earlier to give way for Pacquiao and so that there will be no comparison.

Aaand it has officially started. LeBron reportedly orchestrating the 2024 upcoming Olympics for the team USA. Rumors said that he have already reached out to KD, Curry, AD, Tatum, and Draymond Green to play with him. It has been said that these superstars are ready to commit to play in Olympics, most especially Stephy Curry who has yet to play in the Olympics.
There are also additional rumors that Kyrie, Fox, Booker Lillard, and those superstars who are in the picture above have expressed their interest in playing along with LeBron.

Now, this really getting interesting as this is going to be LeBron and KD's final dance for sure and this is going to be the Redemption Team 2.0 lol!

And just like what I said, their lost in the FIBA was a sting to this NBA players who refuses or doesn't want to play for team USA. Now that they have suffered one worst lost again in their history, it's just fitting that players like Lebron will have to think about the next Olympics and represent their country to at least get back the honor they once had in the basketball arena.

Just look at who got the MVP in the FIBA, Dennis Schröder, not saying that he is not a good player, but with the level of competition, Dennis was able to rally his team to bring the Gold and won that awards that I think Lebron or any superstar mentioned can do as part of a USA team.

It's quite confusing to me because if they were really aiming to get the gold then the roster they have sent should've been more capable and not just those star players who are still young and not so experienced. On the bright side, these young players are now more experienced because of the exposure they got during their run in the FIBA but then again, they are just a hyped roster that doesn't really stand out. Also, many have speculated that maybe Germany couldn't make it if Jokic played with the Serbia.
