Looks like John Riel Casimero still has the WBO vote of confidence. Since there's no news after the 48 hours deadline given to Casimero to explain why he should keep the title, maybe things are now settled between WBO and Casimero. It's been over a week now since the supposed title defense match against Paul Butler.

Paul Butler got the vacant interim WBO Bantamweight title. Not much knowledge about how a title match should fight on but can he still ask for a mandatory title fight against Casimero who still holds the WBO Bantamweight title?

No injury for the major stars of both teams was reported, so it's a battle of healthy teams.

Who's gonna win the series, and why?

Joel Embiid has a thumb injury but he can manage to play well. Even if it is, it doesn't mean he is fully healthy. He is just doing his best even if he has that injury as no choice but to give it all in every game.

Now on who's the team I will choose, I will go to Philadelphia Sixers even the players of the Miami Heat is most deep.

The reason? Joel Embiid already has a heart-to-heart talk with James Harden discussing that he needs to wake up and goes back to his playoffs form. I hope that would awake the real James Harden who is a good performer in playoffs.

With the other posts that I've read, those posts said that the roster and staff will tell if they want to stay or not. And if that's the case, that means that they're going to give each of their staff and player to tell if they're willing to stay with the team or not.
I guess if that's the case then there's no forcing for them to stay and everyone is free to leave as they say. It's all about the free will that they give and I think as a team and company, if that's the condition, it's a good one.

What's the sense of asking that question in the first place to their players and staff? If some of those will request to be moved away, that's an easy thing to request for the management.

Meralco is the one who started here with the talks meaning they really intend to have some players to be traded.

I don't see that as a goodwill from the Meralco just like what you said. There's no need for an exit interview if Meralco just wants to move forward. Smiley
AFAIK, it's because of their lackluster. They've been into that situation that's near to the belt but they fell short. Each team has their own style of cleansing or shuffling if there's really need a change.
And to this point of asking if their staff wants to stay, they'll just let them stay.

Let's go to the finish line. If the Meralco is really decided to reshuffle, what's the sense of exit interview if those people who are being asked are already considered to leave. For example, Meralco told Maliksi that they will trade him but in the exit interview, Maliksi said he wants to stay with the team. Will it change Meralco's plan and decide to keep him instead? The same goes for other players and staff.

This exit interview is pure of non-sense by Meralco. As if that will change the future of the players to stay on the team.

Now it gets curious. Who will stop Giannis from small ball Celtics team?
Williams, Horford, Theis, Williams III? It should be someone who could equal the speed of Giannis and so does the strength. His dominance at the paint is not the question but how he can be stopped at gaining momentum before entering the paint is the big task.
While Middleton is out, this could be the best time for the Celtics to take advantage and steal one win from the Bucks home.

Maybe they will just try their usual defense. If they were able to defend him in a Bucks possession for example, and Giannis failed his attempt to make a goal, then it's good. If they were not able to stop him and made a score, then so be it. What the Boston Celtics will do now is to match his offensive goals by making sure every of their possession is a sure score. In simple terms, when Giannis made a bucket, the Celtics has to make a bucket too.

The Bucks are 4-1 against the Celtics in their last playoffs meet and it means, the Celtics really didn't know how to counter when Giannis becomes a freak. But who knows Celtics have changed now and they have some ways now how to stop Giannis.
885  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: April 28, 2022, 08:39:44 PM
The discussion now becomes more political and there might be sensitive issues that don't really need to be discussed here since generally, most people, even including me, are just relying on what they saw on the internet. Therefore, most exchange of responses here is just a product of their own though without knowing internally what's the real thing that's happening in the ongoing conflict.

Back to topic, can anyone confirm if these boycotts of all Russian-based gambling platforms, fiat or crypto-based, really happened?

Or still a subject of discussion like "what if" it will happen?

Not sure though if there are many who take the ML or they risk for the handicap.

Maybe during Live Bet, many risks for Golden State Warriors Moneyline. I remember Denver Nuggets were in lead throughout the game right? And whenever the Warriors will cut the lead, Nuggets will again push some points. They have just fallen short in the 4th quarter and didn't maintain their lead at the end.

I will do the same in the Mavericks vs Jazz game tomorrow. Once Utah Jazz is on the lead, I will try to wait for good Moneyline odds for the Mavericks since I know they will finish the Jazz now and no more extending of their series.
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 28, 2022, 05:12:33 PM
Yes, bookmakers allow you to bet on Canello with odds of 1.3, while on Bivol as much as 4.7. This suggests that Canelo is a clear favorite and some advantage in physical data does not mean anything. As you rightly noted, the challenger has three times fewer fights, and the champion has already beaten everyone he can, and for him it will be a fight with another average fighter.

Canelo's 1.3 odds are still high for a heavy favorite. Usually, odds on that level of boxer play on a range at 1.00-1.1.

This is the first time I saw a Champion with no defeats was given 4.7 odds. That's how far the distance bookies see on these 2 champions, especially on Canelo Alvarez. I wonder what will happen if Bivol will able to upset Canelo.

It will shock the boxing community for sure.

Boston Celtics 1.54
Milwaukee Bucks 2.50

Choose your team and tell me why they should win.

Milwaukee Bucks @ 2.50

They already faced each other in the Semi-Finals and knows their respective capability. I believed Milwaukee Bucks will be able to match the Boston Celtics' current strength even though this team defeated Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the whole Brooklyn Nets.

No one from the Celtics can stop the rampage of Giannis 1v1 unless they will double or triple-team him. That would allow other Bucks players to have an open look at their shooting.

However, I'm starting to get disappointed with Casimero. He seems to lack of self discipline. 

Too much arrogant that he wants to show something to Sean Gibbons and his opponent without thinking about the consequences. It's funny that their camp didn't know the rules since I doubt they will do it in the first place if they know that it's illegal.

Casimero needs a good team and people to surround him. They are all arrogant and feel they can conquer anything.

Look at the result of what they did and still silent about the issue because they know, they are really wrong.
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 28, 2022, 04:40:03 PM
Despite such a difference in rates and the fact that Canello is the favorite in this match, nevertheless, the outcome can be unpredictable. At least one serious cut is enough and the favorite can take the position of the loser like a technical KO. Perhaps this is the "beauty" of sports and betting on them, that the outcome always remains unknown until the end of the battle, match, game. Otherwise, with a known result, what would be the point of watching it. It is the unpredictability that is attractive.

In basketball, it is called "the ball is round".

Back to boxing, that is possible but knowing Canelo's capability, he will surely try to avoid the unexpected punches by Bivol. But even if Bivol will be able to land some solid punches, we are not sure if Bivol's power is enough to hurt Canelo.

Moreover, the fight is now approaching and we will see if Bivol is really a threat to Canelo's legacy or vice-versa.

Bucks vs Bulls later, I think the Bucks will going to end this series because I don't think that the Bulls will have enough legs, they have lost all the will to win against the Bucks with Giannis.

Zach Lavine might also probably be out in tonight's game for the Chicago Bulls. I also think that the Milwaukee Bucks will now finish the series. Once the Bucks got the lead by 10+, I will give it a 90% chance that the series will now end. Playing at the Bucks' home, it's hard to bounce back from a 10+ point lead while the Bulls are under pressure to win to extend the series.

Chicago Bulls impressed us this season but they have no tools to win these playoffs. Even after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks miraculously, they have to face the Boston Celtics in the Semi-Finals.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: WARRIORS VS NUGGETS GAME 5 on: April 27, 2022, 10:58:19 PM
I'm thinking of betting on the home team as I believe (not 100% -convince me...) they will finish the series and will win by double-digit.
Curry, Poole, and Thompson, if they would score at least 20 points each, I think the series is over, but of course, I have a little worry, what if they will not cover the spread?

What's the right call here, should I go with the spread or will just pass this game?

For me just have the guts to place a bet for them and believed. We can't really say what will happen but just check how the Warriors dominate the Nuggets on their homecourt and the lead is really huge in the 2 games they played at home that we can think that the point spread of -8 points for the Warriors can really cover.

If you want to skip betting on the game, it's your decision too. You have no other options but to take that Warriors spread and nothing else to have good odds in return as betting on Moneyline is not worth it unless you are willing to bet a decent amount just to feel the profits.
893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: April 27, 2022, 10:44:04 PM
A tough challenge by both boxers - Mark Magsayo is against a tough opponent from the Bantamweight while Rey Vargas is up against a Champion.

Both have a clean record and I can't say who has the advantage. Referring to their previous fight is not enough as once these both boxers clash, it will depend on how tough they are in the ring. Adjustments, strategies, keys to winning anything else will surely be applied by both.

I see this fight won't end up much in the wide gap of odds. I'm seeing the odds for them will be slightly close.
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 26, 2022, 11:59:03 PM

According to Daily Tribune PH sports columnist Ian Suyu, as per Meralco Bolts' Head Coach Norman Black, the team will conduct an exit interview with its players starting today, April 25, 2022. For who are those players, we don't know. One thing is for sure, they want to revamp their roster next conference.

For me, they are already good and seeing their roster, they have one of the best rosters in the league especially if it's an All-Filipino Cup. They don't need a revamped but just utilized their players and give others more minutes. Since there will be no import next season, it might be easy for Coach Norman to test some rotation.

Share your inputs.
With the other posts that I've read, those posts said that the roster and staff will tell if they want to stay or not. And if that's the case, that means that they're going to give each of their staff and player to tell if they're willing to stay with the team or not.

Let's say Golden State Warriors will reach the Finals, it will be a tough choice on who's to bet there as a Finals MVP as there are lots of guys contributing there. For example, Jordan Poole is playing much the same stats as Klay Thompson right now. There will be lots of happenings in the Finals and more people stepping up.

And just to remind OP, that odds will be changed from time to time that's why you need to act and place your bet now.

As to my own opinion, sorry but I didn't see the Warriors will win the championship.

Your personal information/data are mostly visited when you become a public figure or you contesting an election your opponents may try to look for data to use against you as a political attack and if you are found wanting in your tax returns that information can be used to disqualify you from an election that is what is happening in my region so the government makes it compulsory for public office holders and political leaders to declare their asset. and make their task information public and published on the revenue office website, but this does not apply to all the citizens but only to government officeholders.

I understand that but not to the extent that people have to know Drake's tax or whatever just because of this partnership with Stake. And besides, he is not an election candidate that's why I can't apply that statement of yours here.

Anyways, let's stick with the Drake X Stake program.

We people are different, it might sound dumb to find for new places if we are currently on a good one but its up on personal choice whether you do test new sites or not but it isnt really that bad to make some exploring or find something new but its true that most of the time it would really be just on the same essence.

Nothing really a big deal and we don't mean to find new places. It's just that if these new sites come here and offer that seems new to our vocabulary, there will be really a chance that we have to test them. Even though we will have a good experience playing at these new sites, still we won't stop playing at those we used to play before.

No comparison in general but we are just following our interests. There's no problem playing at several sites even those that are newly launched.
898  Economy / Gambling / Re: RTP Rates from Slots Crypto-game Providers (The list and the infographic) on: April 23, 2022, 10:52:12 PM
I have a noob question:

Are those RTP percentages by game providers apply to all their casino games?

For example, ALL casinos games under Pragmatic plays have a range of RTP @ 94-96% and it doesn't have games lowered than the said figures.

Please enlighten me here as to what my knowledge is concerned, regardless of the game provider, each of the Slots has different RTPs that are not within a given range like on the list. Anyways, this topic requires dedication to make.

Thanks, OP for this!

I hope that all the rumors of CStand's relationship with teammates is not under the bridge and he stays with the team and win more trophies with them as he also a crowd drawer IMO, so he is fit to play with Ginebra.

I'm not aware of that. Is there a rumor about the possibility of Christian Standhardinger being shipped to another team or does he have some misunderstandings with some other guys out there in their locker room?

Is that what you meant, mate?

Although not much productivity in the recent Finals, his presence inside the paint is effective to cover the absence of Japeth Aguilar in both offense and defense. But yes, he might want again to be one of the main options of a team and not just doing a backup role where he hasn't used to be.
900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: April 23, 2022, 06:24:30 PM
That odds will certainly change once the Warriors beat the Nuggets in game 4. Let's check back the NBA winner odds later after all the games are finished.
right now, I think they are still making an adjustment and the once all games are concluded, we will eventually see the live betting odds.

The new sets of odds after Game 3 games are released. Slight odds movement for the Golden State Warriors to win the Finals.

From @4 the lines move to @3.9. Possibly going down to @3.5 if they will enter the second round of the playoffs. GSW fans can now place their bet before the odds might be lowered again if the team will continue to win.

Maybe it will go back to @4 if the Warriors will struggle to win in the second-round playoffs against the winner between Grizzlies vs Timberwolves. It's fine to wait for that but it's just a slight increase and not worth a wait.
