Very talkative people most of the time won't remember their words. Many of their words are without value to them since they just want to talk more and convince people to watch their fights. Only casuals and fanboys will believe that Tyson Fury and Jake Paul will rematch their opponents in a full MMA rule next year. Tyson Fury is obviously not number 1. He only got 1 belt, the WBC. That #1 status belongs to Oleksandr Usyk, he's got the Ring belt, the WBA, the IBF, and the WBO.

Hopefully, Big Belly gets KO'd by Francis but it is very unlikely. Mike Tyson can share all his knowledge and hype about Francis' chances of winning but he cannot transform him into a decent boxer in just a few months.

That's actually annoying. Especially those people who are known to ask for tips every time they know people who won something material.   

Asking and giving tips are also normal here in my country if you are into peer-to-peer betting where middlemen are the ones looking for a match to your bet and they will arrange the deals. But I also don't like it. In the end, I have better net wins using an online betting site rather than going through peer-to-peer betting. Also, it keeps me private avoiding people near you asking for tips when you're winning something big.

So bad. This fight is off. It's already circulating quickly in the boxing community since yesterday. I don't know who's right or wrong. The purse bid was called off after PBC and Martin allowed Top Rank and ESPN to handle this fight. But once Martin receives the contract, he don't want to sign it citing he was low-balled by Shakur and Top Rank. Martin is guaranteed over a million dollars which will be his biggest purse in his career which seems very good already knowing this is also his first title fight. I guess he is okay with that money which is actually very big already but he felt low-balled upon knowing that Shakur is guaranteed $5 million.

PBC fans will call this a low blow but Top Rank fans will call Martin greedy. Shakur is obviously the A-side here. Shakur just moved up but prior to that, he was a former 2-division world champion, former unified champion, and lineal champion at 130.

The WBC, Shakur, and Top Rank are now looking at who's next in the rankings. But hopefully, they can still settle the issue. Maybe give Frank Martin $1.5 million before giving up on him. If Martin refuses then he is missing his chance of a title fight. I doubt Martin can contest and tell the WBC to make the purse bid since he and PBC already called it off in favor of Top Rank.

Sure you can mate. You can share your picks and bets on the many gambling threads depending on which football leagues you are following most. But you can also create your own separate thread so you can track all your picks. You can make a summary of all your winnings and losses every now and then. People will follow you more once you can show a good winning percentage.

I remember when I was following an e-sport tipster a few years ago. It was profitable but in the following year, it was the opposite. So I guess tipsters also have bad and good seasons which is the same reason why I never tried paying subscription fees to some tipsters.

I am curious if Lebron James will still compete at 38 years old. But he is probably the oldest American to play in their team. The same with KD although he is younger so he might really play. Kawhi Leonard has a big contract yet he only played a few games during his stay with the Clippers so I assume that his team won't allow him to play outside the NBA. I heard before that both the US and France want Joel Embiid. Maybe Embiid will finally decide which country he will represent next year. Will it be the defending champions USA or the host country France?

My first reaction after looking at the pictures was the Suzuki brand taxi which was my first time. Anyways, for BTC fanatics the taxi initials also looked like BTC as in bitcoin. But obviously, it is not really bitcoin related since it's colored red which is the opposite a bitcoin believer wanted. It should've been orange or green for the bull run and not red which represents a bearish season. But for someone who is curious, entering BTC in Google means bitcoin although I am not sure if it is the same in other places.

Yeah, the US bounced back strong with a huge destruction on Italy, the only team that beat Serbia. While Germany struggled against Latvia and barely escaped with a win. The FIBA experience is a big factor for this young American team. They are built for endurance since the NBA has a grueling 82 regular games in a few months span which also involves a lot of travels. Whereas in FIBA all players are conditioned for a few weeks of tournament with a 40-minute per game.


The US will be very difficult to beat during the Olympics. They will be bringing to Paris their experienced and more proven superstars like Jayson Tatum, Steph Curry, and many more. But I actually feel bored if no teams are capable of giving them a close game. Maybe the Canadian team earned their experience this FIBA and will play better in Paris next year. Serbia will also have around half of their lineup from the NBA including Jokic. The French team will also play at home along with Wembayama who's used to FIBA type of basketball.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Serbia has more than 5 NBA players at the moment and only 3 of them are playing here in the FIBA World Cup. I thought Serbia would be a slight favorite over Germany but I am wrong. But still, I am betting on Serbia as well. Germany has deadly shooters so putting pressure on Schroder and not allowing him to make many plays will disrupt their offense. And Serbia has a good defense.

I expect all these NBA big stars to represent their nations next year in the Paris Olympics. It'll be exciting to watch the best Serbian, American, and French squads competing next year.

The US always remains the favorite during FIBA World Cups but I am also not expecting them to win. They're young and they lack the FIBA type of experience. It was a close game against the Germans but they were never allowed to have continuous momentum. Edwards started a late rally and nearly pulled it up until he himself committed a big turnover in the dying seconds of the game. Great game and it was fun seeing the favorites lose to the underdogs. I have an ML bet on Canada to also beat the US. It should be fun and intriguing since Canada nearly has a 100% NBA roster.

It will be interesting to see if the US can also defend its gold medal in the Olympics next year. The US's most prominent basketball stars usually play only during the Olympics which is why they continue to dominate it through the years while ignoring the FIBA World Cup.

The Lakers will be more about protecting AD and Bron from suffering injuries this season. The Lakers are not the best team in the NBA on paper right now but a single injury from the other teams' big stars can easily put this current roster at a championship level. They have deep experience and have good players in all their roles. I also expect Lebron to be given 30sh minutes at best in the regular season. Wood can play 4 and 5 and he is also a decent 3-point shooter that is enough to scatter the defense of the opposing teams.

The West is back as the most crowded with top teams in the NBA. Denver, Phoenix, and the Lakers are fully pumped. We also saw how dangerous the Pelicans are if they have a healthy Zion on the court. And I wonder if Ja Morant learned a lot and fully committed himself to the sport.

Another good fight in boxing. Both fighters have the skills but I believe Shakur Stevenson's skills are at the other level. What Frank Martin has is he is used to this division or even higher so he is the stronger guy. We shall see if Shakur gains power gaining weight or he's power remains mediocre. Nonetheless, Martin has to show no respect for Shakur if he wants to win this fight.

What makes this more exciting is it is a battle between PBC and Showtime versus Top Rank and ESPN. Top Rank and ESPN are the ones handling this fight. As far as I remember since the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, Top Rank has 3 wins with a draw while losing none over PBC. Two Tyson Fury wins over Deontay Wilder and a draw and the latest was Naoya Inoue's dominating win over former unified champion Stephen Fulton. If Bud Crawford hadn't left Top Rank, it would've been another solid victory by Top Rank over PBC.

Seems like PBC's big stars are hyped inside their network but lose big time every time they face the other networks' stars. Tank Davis is the only remaining undefeated PPV star of PBC and I also believe that Top Rank's Shakur will put him in school in dominating fashion.

And you were right. It was a total domination by Serbia against the NBA-laden team of Canada. Overall it was not a bad performance by Canada, it's just that they could not keep up the pace of the Serbs. NBA players are known to be more physical, athletic, and defensive but they were shocked at how Serbia beat them in their own game. Canada still had good shots in the basket but damn, the huge accuracy by the Serbs is unbelievable. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was limited to just below 20 points compared to his previous 30+ points.

Coming up next. The USA is a big favorite over Germany. An upset is not out of the table but I do hope we'll see an exciting game.

Well, if the phone is not necessary anymore since you have another one then it is a wise move. The value of that phone will depreciate fast over time while the value of your satoshis will be worth more than double next year or by 2025. There is a risk of course but I guess most of us here are very confident of a major bull run during and after bitcoin halvings as what we've seen in the past.

Another suggestion OP is to make a regular dollar-cost averaging. Maybe doing it monthly even in small amounts will do while the price is still cheap.

It might be true. The real hype starts once the date of the fight is getting nearer. Both do not like each other right now so we might see an exciting press conference and face-offs during the fight week. Selling tickets in the venue might not be that hard but I guess the PPV buys will be only around 200k. Hopefully, we'll see good matchups in the undercards.

Maybe we'll make a friendly bet, I believe this fight will happen this year. I still watch this fight live because I want to see if Regis Prograis can land his power shots on Devin Haney. Regis is not that popular but I like him, he is exciting to me because he knocks people out.

You're right, most of my altcoins except ethereum are in very bad situations right now. I was just trying to catch the lowest prices on some of the altcoins but it might cost me more in order to average down. Although I am confident that they will be in profit by next year or after the halving year, it would've been better if I stuck to just bitcoin and ethereum and then only switched some into risky altcoins once the bull run starts. Nonetheless, bitcoin at the moment is 68% of my portfolio, ethereum at 15%, and the other risky altcoins at around 17%.

I was tempted to sell the house because I believe it is easy money. Like if I sell it now and buy bitcoin at $25k, I am confident my capital will be doubled by next year or by 2024. Although it is going to be too risky.

I don't hate gamblers, I mean responsible gamblers. What I don't like is when a gambler has other obligations but still continues to allocate a big part of his income to gambling. I know some people who continue to gamble and then later on will go to their friends and relatives to borrow or ask for money for their family's regular consumption.

I am also not a fan of people who believe they can earn big through gambling. Most of these people I observed are struggling financially so it's like they are putting their hope to change their fate in gambling which is very wrong.

Sobrang hirap talaga kung sakaling mangyari man. Pero sa tingin ko malabo to mangyari in the near future. Isang big event lang like nuclear wars or maging mali ang pag rotate ng mga planets, moons and stars ang possibling pipigil sa internet.

Pero I wonder kung ano mangyari sakaling biglang ayaw na magwork ang internet. Baka magkagulo ang mundo. Baka mas lumala pa ang mga digmaan.

Honestly, I am planning to withdraw as much as possible from other investments and then switch its process to bitcoin and a few altcoins. I know the market is not guaranteed but since the birth of bitcoin the 4-year cycle always made huge bull runs during the halving and after the halving year.

Local stocks here are performing badly and some of them are even worse than the altcoin market. Real estate is the most stable and reliable in my country but it is slow moving which tempted me at times to even sell my house and then put some of the amount into crypto. It's not going to hurt me since I love moving from place to place.

It is good that bitcoin and decentralization are making new economic trends. But this way, banks are also trying to innovate themselves in order to continue attracting people. But of course, I still prefer a decentralized system rather than the centralized banks that are using our own money to grow their businesses. 

Here in my country, reputable banks or not, as long as the bank is insured by our national standards then you will have no problems with your deposits unless you are wanted by the state, and your account will be frozen.

So according to Eddie Hearn, this fight is still alive but the signed October 28 date is off. Eddie is looking for the last week of November or early December as its new date.

I haven't seen enough hype about this fight. The media is more focused on Canelo and Crawford nowadays. I wonder if Eddie made the right call by signing Regis Prograis and Devin Haney. These guys aren't cheap and will be paid millions of dollars but they need to sell tickets, PPV, and convince companies for sponsorships. Maybe the fans are tired of Haney's boring style and while Prograis packs a punch, he is not that popular to the casuals.
