Correct me if I'm wrong here because I noticed that most boxers or fighters after their weigh-in schedule are continuously eating afterwards that specific event to at least regain their weight after they shrunk their weights just to be in the specified weight needed.

This is true however when a boxer goes through heavy training for the purpose of weight loss like burning over 10-15 lbs within just a short period of time to catch the weight needed for the fight, they are not suggested to make a heavy meal afterward because it will shock their body system and that's risky because just less than 24 hours, they will officially fight now. It's just good for those who just maintained their weight as their routine training is just about maintaining and not burning some fats.

That's how risky for a boxer that is willing to go down weight especially if it needs to catch more weight loss like what will happen if Jake Paul will still push the idea of facing Conor McGregor. It's suicide for him.

This is really sad, I should have looked until the game started I never thought that Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have injuries and can not play against the Clippers because some injury list is not updated

The injury list is always updated and Bucks' key players are not injured. They are just pumped up last game. Game-time decision and Milwaukee Bucks decided to sit out their stars since they already clinched a playoffs spot and to have a rest. Not against the rules after all in preparation for the playoffs.

It's a trap. I know bookies know that but decided to play a game with their bettors lol. They are sometimes toying with the bettors. Bookies know internally what is happening inside the NBA and that's the challenge for the bettors, to have a good pick.

It is really horrible to see LA Lakers in this kind of a situation. But it was already obvious much time ago that they were going to have serious problems in even the regular season. They still weren't able to play properly as a team and were depending on Lebron James at an incredibly high rate. And this has brought things to the current point. They have the same amount of wins with Spurs though and can still enter the playoff zone. But it is not going to be easy. They lost four weeks in a row and Spurs have been in a much better condition these days.

Actually not that horrible since it was already expected in the half-period of the season. Lakers fans should not expect anything from now on. There are still more seasons for a comeback although Lebron James is now hitting the retirement age and might not be the best player as always for the franchise.

The better plan would be, to make a whole roster revamp from coaching staff to players and surround Lebron with good role players to help him. Lakers need Lebron and that's already proven. I don't know why others think that Lebron is stat-padding. How can you stat-padding at that age and still give 30+ points per game? That was greatness.

Another of one of the most anticipated fight was revealed and fortunately it will happen this year as it's already official that Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire will have a rematch this coming June 7, three world titles will be on the line in this said rematch.

We can quite remember that Naoya Inoue have teased the whole boxing industry that he will come back and set foot in the ring this coming June and we know that is Nonito Donaire of the Philippines, although we cannot still confirm it in the previous months but now it's already settled and we know who it is.
 

The fight was close to happening as I remembered reading the Boxing Speculations thread. Bob Arum true to his words and now this fight finally become organized and officially will happen in June, the month where Naoya Inoue also said that he will come back to the ring.

The rematch has to happen to now end their chapter. Donaire is a good match to Inoue even at 39 years old. The Japanese have a hard time winning the first match and this second fight will be his settlement chance to prove he is the strongest at Bantamweight.

I like Meralco to win for the simple reason that we want different companies to compete in the Finals. It's hard to make an acting job if teams are playing in different companies. The competition is much better as Meralco also has a rivalry with Ginebra in an import conference although the import of Meralco is not the same during their first meeting in the Finals.

Don't get me wrong here.

I like Magnolia but since Ginebra passes the NLEX, I will side for Meralco for a different view on the Finals and not between sister teams. If NLEX sent Ginebra to Boracay on Semis, I will prefer Magnolia over Meralco but that's not what happened.

Annoying loss on the Suns spread yesterday but good thing it didn't sting my bankroll that much as I had some on the moneyline.

Liking the Bucks at 2.10 to beat the Nets, both teams prefer not to get a loss here but I much prefer the Bucks since the Nets didn't perform well against the Pistons in their last game. I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly blew out the Bucks since they have the firepower to do so it's just that the Bucks are doing better while the Nets are a hit or miss.

Also took Hawks -5.5 @1.86, the Hawks remain solid at home while the Cavs are regressing plus they're missing a few key players.

I'm like to tail you on this but I think that line was possible for the Milwaukee Bucks since Giannis is still questionable (close to probable) to play in that game because of a knee problem. The game is just about to start and let's see if Giannis can play.

I also like to consider the Bucks big comeback from a strong team Sixers and even win in that game recently.

The Bucks can handle the Nets but I'm concerned with Giannis' health status as he might not be at 100%.

Now it's getting a bit ridiculous between Jake Paul and Conor Mcgregor. Jake Paul says now he will knock out Conor in the first round. That's crazy to be honest. First he wants to lose weight to make the fight more fair, then he said he wants to fight in the Octagon under UFC rules and now a fight that is over in one round. Jake Paul might be younger and more fit, but Conor McGregor has all the MMA experience. The fight will definitely go longer than one round. Can't wait for it to be finally happening, going to be a very big event.

https://www.marca.com/en/ufc/2022/03/26/623f5b7922601daa3b8b457f.html

That's just to hype the fight. Losing weight by about 10lbs just to meet Conor's weight is pretty difficult to do. He said that they will do it in Octagon? He is totally out of his mind if he thinks he can win against Conor in the Octagon for just 1st round after doing some intense training for the weight loss. Even he is younger and more fit, no person is an excuse for the effect of losing weight within just a set period for the purpose of the fight.

In boxing, that's what Pacquiao got the advantage. In his rising days, most boxers want a piece of Pacquiao but they need to go down in his weight class to make that possible resulting in fatigue and less stamina on the day of the fight.

It's just about barely a few days to go and since no news regarding a change of event, the fight might be happened for good at maybe 85% to 90%. The replacement can't just happen quickly unless the possible replacement also has an incoming fight or part of the undercard on the close weight class like what happened when Ugas replace Spence to face Pacquiao.

Regardless of anything, we should just stick to the idea that this fight will happen unless there's an official announcement made that it will be canceled. Goodbye to Casimero if that's happened as he failed again to show up and he is the reason for the canceled fight.

.....

I think Lakers main problem is that they bringed Westbrook with such a high salary and spilled more wins then he gaved. He dosent give anything good to Lakers and if Lakers want to do something next season they need to get rid of him and bring some fresh new players
We can clearly see now that Westbrook is a failed experiment. They thought "strengthening" their starting line up would be good while trading most of their supporting cast. Who do you see as a trade potential for him? There were rumors of WB and Lillard before bit I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Let's look clearly at the Lakers' situation this season. When Russell Westbrook is playing good, the Lakers' winning rate is above 85%. The problem is not about Westbrook alone but how Vogel gives time to his players. Since he was experimenting, he didn't make some reshuffling to the players' rotation until he got the right mix. Sometimes Vogel always uses most of his players for the first time in the second half or late 1st half. The fuel of that player is still cold since he didn't allow those players to play early to pump their adrenalin.

The Lakers need to trade Anthony Davis, not Russell Westbrook. Change the coaching staff, especially the head coach. I'd rather trade an injury-prone compared for a player that trying their best to win even how hard it is amid lots of negative criticism.
970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: March 30, 2022, 11:47:10 PM
If ever there would be some rematch between Donaire and Inoue then Nonito should really be doing something better compared into their last fight.He should mind on about his defense while not affecting his aggressive stance because in most times on where Inoue do really make out heavy body shots unpredictably.I dont have any doubts for his stamina since he could last up to the entire round.

Isn't it obvious that Nonito Donaire should be making some adjustments? He already knows that as he is preparing it for a long. He anticipates that a rematch will probably happen and he has already met the requirements for it by defeating two boxers since he was defeated by Inoue.

But while Donaire is expected to do some adjustments, there's no way Naoya Inoue won't do the same. He should be preparing now and thinking of a strategy not to be pulverized in the early rounds against Donaire like what happened in the 1st match.

We will now see them again in a rematch as that was a long wait.

Live Betting now since unable to place bets early at these games.

Parlay bet of 2 slips for a total odds of @2.39. Not bad for a $20 small bet.

Dallas Mavericks which currently leads by 4 to win the game at @1.55 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Orlando Magic which currently leads by 7 to win the game at @1.65 vs. Washington Wizards
972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 29, 2022, 11:58:54 PM
Spence as aggressive might change to defensive while Ugas as we see him from that last fight is very good in defending himself and converting counter punches, maybe he will be the one that will attack most to attract Spence to open his defense.

Good point and I'm thinking the same. Spence might shift to defensive if he sees Ugas can stay away from his offensive actions.

On the other hand, Ugas's defense is hard to break but there are no points counted in defense and that will make Ugas also shift to offensive if he sees Spence is not doing more punches.  In the first place, he can't counter if there's no countering.

We should expect a different strategy that both boxers will show us on their big day.
973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 29, 2022, 11:49:44 PM
Well, he could really throw a 3 point shot there but still go for a different shot maybe he’s expecting that someone will foul him so he can go to the free throw line and take the lead unfortunately the result is not in favor to him.

The way we see that action of him driving to the hoop, it seems he is not attempting to get a foul. He is avoiding the defense throughout his charge court-to-court.

NLEX is also not dumb to take a foul as they are leading by 3. The moment they saw LA crossing the 3-point line, they also got confused. Look there's no help defense from NLEX when Tenorio drives since that's their advantage as the clock is now ticking to an end.

Tenorio made it clear it was his mistake but it won't take away the speculations of others that it was intentional. The estimated crowd on that night is around 13,000 people and the PBA even congratulate it on their social media account where Ginebra's page make a meme that it was them as the main reason why the crowd hits that number. 13,000 x **** is a great revenue for the league.

With Paul George making his comeback tonight against the Jazz you have to wonder how they'll be going into the playoffs.  Anybody have any idea when Kawhi Leonard will return?  With them having such a low seed, they could be a real menace to the #3 seed if they get Kawhi back.  You'll be able to watch Paul George's return tonight on TNT, as the Clippers have the second game in a doubleheader tonight.  First up is the Lakers vs the Mavericks, which should be a win for the Mavericks as James is listed as doubtful for the game.  A shame, as I always love watching him match up with Luka Doncic.  They both seem to take it to another level when going head to head.

As far as I know, the Los Angeles Clippers already gave up with the idea that Kawhi Leonard will be available this season up to the playoffs. Although the door is not closed, looks like the team already concluded the situation about Kawhi not giving expectations to their fans to avoid disappointment.

But even with Kawhi and George, I don't think the Clippers will still be the same as before when they are one of the best and most competitive teams in the Western Conference. Currently, the situation in the West is so tough that we can't predict easily who will win in the end.
975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 26, 2022, 03:58:39 PM
Odds for the game tomorrow is already available.

Road Warriors +3.5

If you think Road Warriors has no chance, better take them early now as it might move by tomorrow in favor of the Ginebra.

I wonder why do bookies only give +3.5 for NLEX Road Warriors? I'm expecting more. Cheesy

The way NLEX is playing, they have no answer from Ginebra but still, bookies gave a small spread for them. I hope they moved it +5.5 even at 1.8 odds.

Maybe they think it's going to be a 2-1 series? I'm also expecting NLEX to bounce back. That extra game on the series is money for the league.
976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 26, 2022, 03:35:26 PM
Question is, how big he could contribute to the team.

We've seen Draymond Green after a long rest due to injury, in his return he wasn't contributing as his normal contribution, so what I'm saying is that Davis will have to readjust again to get back on his game, and every game may cause the Lakers an L .

You might be missing something, mate. Try to make a recap and watch all games after Anthony Davis returns this season. He is putting up big numbers already even coming from an injury. There is no question how big he can contribute once he comes back but the question is, how long he can stay healthy after being injured. No problem with his stats and contribution, that's one thing for sure.

The comparison with hin and Draymond Green is not appropriate. They have different roles and Green is not putting the same numbers as Anthony Davis regardless if they are healthy or coming back from an injury.
977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 26, 2022, 03:17:27 PM
I disagree with your disagreement hehehe. However, I only agree on your speculation if you are making a bet on Bivol. Everyone has already witnessed that Canelo is something similar to Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquaio. They are the kings of the sport of boxing. But there is a chance for Bivol and he might be underestimated for this. I speculate Bivol's left hook, right uppercut might knockdown Canelo.

Canelo should do his best as lots of people are expecting to win money betting for him hehe. Looks like everyone is considering Bivol as an easy opponent for Canelo. I only see a few posters here praising the skills of Bivol. Him being a champion is now disregarded because Canelo is treated similarly to Floyd Mayweather Jr or Manny Pacquiao.

I also see Canelo has the advantage but we can't speculate early who will be the winner of this fight.

The odds for Canelo seem not attractive too. I wonder how those bettors that eyeing for Canelo to win will make a bet.
978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 26, 2022, 03:04:10 PM
MP Promotions and Team Casimero has already sorted that out for Casimero so that he can be healthy and at his edge at the day of the fight. Overall, Casimero has prepared enough for this fight and as for his physical abilities and mental health, it's already good. The only thing left to do is to maintain his health like eating the right food that can boost his immune system more.

MP Promotions has nothing to do with the fight. Probellum won the bid on this fight. And the one taking care of Casimero's health is definitely and obviously not his promoter but the team himself. The promoter in layman's terms is the body that organizes and promotes the fight. The internal subject like training, diet and any related stuffs are out of their hands.

I agree however with what you said that Casimero is now healthy and just maintaining his good shape until the date of the fight. There should be no problem less than a month to go or else, his WBO title will be stripped for good.

Getting a fight with Jake Paul is not a bad idea because that's a good chance to warm himself up while making good money before he gets a professional fight in UFC with the high risk of losing. After all like you guys said, his career is on a sunset now.

Waste of time. If it's just about warm-up for McGregor, why not choose a fighter the same with his league. It's good money compared to fighting against Jake Paul which is nowhere within his level. The warm-up on McGregor should happen in Octagon, not in the boxing ring. That's the comeback that fans are waiting for and expect more money flowing if that happened instead.

They should just ignore Jake Paul. He's so lucky if McGregor will fight him. Easy money to him while at McGregor, there's a reputation at stake.

Any more info especially about how much he spent before he hit the jackpot? $5 per spin in slot game is a huge amount for regular players. I guess he has a huge bankroll as well because I think someone need to have at least few tens grand to play with that $5 per spin. Or he was really luck player who spent few hundreds $$ only before he hit the jackpot. It is a rare case indeed but it may happen when he had the huge luck.

That is something they can't document or recorded. Even we, are not doing it that way. Impossible to know exactly the figures but should not be a big deal.

I think the winner has only a fair amount from their bankroll and luck struck them nicely leading to a big win.

Huge luck, there's no other explanation to that since slots is a game where no strategy is applied.
