But you need to validate if the reviews are legit. These days, the shop itself can create their own reviews. You will notice if the review is fake or genuine on how they said it. Also, in some online shops you can already see how much items they sold and the number of star rating. Actually, those alone can provide impression of how the seller is.
The easiest way to validate real reviews is by reviewing the number of purchases of online products, the most purchased products definitely have real reviews and sellers don't need to carry out fraudulent strategies to increase the rating on their reviews, every buyer will definitely express positive or negative feedback on that product, I think many buyers already have knowledge about it because they are always careful about fake products.

Yes, but there could still be fake reviews though even if there are a lot of individuals who supposedly buy the product online. Or better yet you have to check individually those who commented positive to see if they are not a bot or what.

But in any case, it's a feedback that is really important, and for us consumers, I also have the habit to put up a good or even bad reviews to products that I bought online. At least I can contribute to the buying public and maybe some are going to believed on what I going to give to the product that I buy. And everyone should do that as well if I may suggest, me and my wife also took videos and photos to show it on the reviews and feedback page.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: Today at 02:54:09 AM
Worse loss of Haney, he couldn't get over that he has to make sure Ryan gets punished for defeating him fairly.

How can it be worse, if this is the first Haney loss ? Cheesy Like you saw other losses to claim that this is the worse one ? Cheesy I would laugh if NY Athletic Commission would turn this fight as "Haney win by disqualification" in the end. A guy drop you on the butt three times, but you still win. If Haney would really get a clear record after that, I hope he wont be proud of that and never claim that he is undefeated. To make thing fair, this time Haney should have (or have not) taken something and Ryan to be as clean as possible Cheesy

Probably worse because he thought Haney couldn't lose. But I have no question about Haney's decision to complain, and the current developments are favoring him. It seems Ryan really took illegal substances to gain a big edge in that fight. What Ryan did is null and void if he is proven guilty of what he is accused of, so he better accept the punishment if everything is proven. Most likely, it will be a suspension, which we fans of him don't want to see.

But just like what most boxing pundits earlier thought that Ryan Garcia's win over Haney will be turned into a no-contest, until now nothing happened. If Ryan took illegal substances that are over the limit then he would've been suspended by the NSAC and the decision would've been turned into a draw. I remember Ryan was given 7 or 9 days to prove himself clean. And it weeks already since that deadline. I believe Ryan is now clean. Or maybe not 100% clean but tolerable as per the rules of doping.

Haney should just move on and stop shitting on his pants the next time he gets hit by someone his own size at fight night.

Just taking some time for NYAC or even WBC to make a move and suspend Ryan and declare the fight NC. And obviously they know how big their decision is as Ryan hired a good lawyers to really make a case against the governing bodies and maybe at the end of it all, probably Ryan will get a suspension and still continue with this career and hopefully he can become a world champion again. Still the future looks bright for this young kid, the money that he is going to make, the fame and everything. Although it seems that he can't handle all of it as he had history of mental breakdowns specially the vandalizing case file against him by some hotel.

My bad, the fight happened in New York, so yeah we'll see if they are going to put a suspension on Ryan. But I doubt it happens because the deadline already happened weeks already so it means Ryan passed the tests. Otherwise, what took so long about the decision.

It could be a long deliberation and maybe they are fair enough to look at every result, specially that it was so small that they could ignore the findings for all we know. And so far from what I search there are still no results from them.

And the corrupt WBC? They might suspend Ryan for 2 to 5 months only if proven guilty of illegal substances. That's like an normal high ranked fighter resting a couple of months and then train for 2 to 3 months and then at fight night the suspension is already lifted.

I will go with longer, at least 12 months. But let's see if Ryan and his team can "pay" WBC to shorten the sentence. They said that they are awaiting the result or the decision of New York State Commission as most likely they are going to based on that.
3  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where is the bullrun??? on: Today at 02:16:06 AM
I have to confess that I don't understand too much about criptos, but during an important time I have studied about reading charts and I can't see a reason for believe that BTC will explode in short-term. I would like to know: What makes you think that will happen a bull run now? It is  a true need to learn about it.

That is the wrong mentally to begin with, if there is going to be a bull run, you should look at it for the long term, the bigger picture and not something like after the halving we will see parabolic rise. Anyhow, you are still a newbie in the market and for sure you have to learn a lot of things first.

Others have pointed out to you some good reads, but I will advise you to just go over the forum and play around and read as much information as you like, but for sure there will be information overload for you. And if you wanted to see the bull run, just wait till next year if you can, and maybe we will be the 6 digit around that time.

And it will pay off for the Boston Celtics as they awarded Jaylen Brown with a huge 5 year , $286,230,000. So at least the money that they put on him didn't go to waste as they are going to win another ring for the city since the days of Paul Pierce.

For Jason Kidd though, it's not his year, need more pieces and most likely in the off season they are going to improved a lot of things. I'm also excited as what can ANT man do next season, if he is for real or just a fluke.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: Today at 01:25:26 AM
^^ That is going to be huge if they will have their new organization and maybe take out all the corruption with just one body. But I don't think that the governing body will approved it though. They might have to compete with them and it's up to the promoters like Matchroom, GBP and Top Rank and PBC on how they are going to help set up this big league from the Saudis.

And who can refuse it? With billions on their hand and the whole government behind HE Turki Alalshikh, for sure this can be done and done right. Probably this is going to happen in the next 2 years.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? on: June 13, 2024, 02:39:40 AM
It's sad to know someone loses 5x in a row in a gambling game.
If you lose, you should evaluate first, the first defeat may be an indication that anyone has to re-evaluate.
But when you have lost 5x in a row, that's a bad thing.

One must have a strategy so that such ridiculous things do not happen.
I will only stop when I get 1 defeat because mentally I will not be able to continue losing.
Those who even go through 5 defeats are too addicted and continue to believe that they will win and win, but in fact, they always lose.

But it usually does happen, and I think gamblers here who have been in the game for so long could have experience it already. I know it's going to be very hard to recover from that mentally, even if you say that you can afford to lose, the psychology of gamblers losing a game is incomprehensible. So there could be gamblers who are willing to continue even if they have suffered consecutive losses.

As for me, just stop for a while, then a breather and come back strong in the next couple of days. And usually it's a great strategy for me as I did it the last time and then I rested like 5-7 days and when I played my favorite slots again, I have a 2 day winning streak, but yesterday was different, lose a small amount but I was able to bring back my self-control not to deposit anymore and just enjoy my winnings the previous day.
7  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Getting into crypto on: June 13, 2024, 01:42:18 AM
Generally curious how people get into crypto/where they first hear about it. Also, what's a good place to start as a newbie?

Someone already put a lot of links that you can read as a newbie, so that is already a good start. But regarding how people get into crypto or at least in my case, I was a freelancer before, had so many online jobs until I stumbled it somewhere and reading about Satoshi and his project.

But it was just in 2017 that I really discovered it and just like the rest of us here, that was the golden era, I would say because Bitcoin is just about to have a break out and so we see a huge jump in terms of exposure and now it is bigger than ever.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could 72K USD be the peak for this bull run? on: June 13, 2024, 01:23:33 AM
As long as we don’t see big whales selling their coins, bitcoin price won’t experience a big crash again.
Yes, I agree the big whale or you can say the huge holders are the ones who protect the current value of Bitcoin and helps it to grow overtime. The day to day traders and others low amount investors can't really cause dips in the price of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin dipped badly to around $66k value today and I believe such dips are normal before a new ATH. Bitcoin's price always go through correction and if next ATH forms somehow then again we may see a correction after that.

Just a little bounce to $68k, but for $72k after halving, it's too small to call it the peak of the bull run. And it's too early to judge it as we are still in the middle of the year and there could be some news that will affect the price positively.

And just to follow up on what you said, June seems to be not so good month post halving. As maybe investors are not that interested or just simply waiting for some big movement and then FOMO and then we will see new ATH at the end of the year.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct on: June 13, 2024, 12:58:15 AM
Also, it has been speculated that Spence was dehydrated and weak for the fight vs. Crawford. He will not have this problem vs. Fundora because this fight will be in super welterweight. This might be a knockout victory for Errol Spence.

There's always an speculation like that after a boxer losses in a fight, why can't just we accept that it was a fair fight and Crawford was the better boxer that time. Now, it's a comeback fight of Spence and we are expecting a knockout, I'm not saying it won't happen but I really have doubt since we've see this underrated boxer Fundora on how he beat a champion in a close battle.

It will always be that argument that if someone losses a big fight, it could be either be that he has problem with weight, or their preparation is not enough. But as you have said, it was clearly that Crawford is the better fighter and he was the favorite going into this fight.

But here, since this is '54 lbs, there's no way that Spence can used that excuses, he should be man enough if he losses again and it could really put a lot of pressure on him on whether he will continue with his career or not. Or we will see if Crawford took everything from him and he might not be the same Spence that we have know prior to his first lost.

This is a very important fight for him as it's his return after a while, so he needs to create a noise and that is by winning the fight. Actually, he could challenge Spence again once he will become a champion, as I'm sure it will not be hard for the promoters to make the fight happen.

Fundora maybe taller, but he won by an upset to a boxer which I think way below the level of Spence, so I'm expecting that he'll dominate the big man and since he doesn't have the edge on the lenght, he should knock him out like what he did to Ugas.

We really can't compare performance though, Ugas almost knockdown Spence though just saying. So different opponents, different strategy. I'm not sure or heard who will be the new trainer of Spence is this fight? Anyone aware as who is going to replace Derrick James?

And that is also another factor that we need to look at, with a new trainer, maybe it might take some time for him to adjust and learn new things from him. Or that is also we need to look at before betting on Spence at it could also affect his performance here for good or for the worse.
10  Economy / Speculation / Re: plant a tree, when bitcoin price increase new record $1k on: June 12, 2024, 10:54:04 AM
Not saying this is bad or what, but why do we really need to equate to Bitcoin as if it is going to save all mankind's problem? I mean we just have this initiative with or without any challenges with regards to Bitcoin itself.

And this has bee ongoing for many years, prior to the emergence of Bitcoin, so for me, we can do our own little things to save the planet by planting but just don't used the name of Bitcoin to anything like poverty or much of the problems in the world.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 12, 2024, 10:08:05 AM
Yeap, it's going to be a battle of momentum, just one game at a time, and if they win game 3, the next game will still be in their homecourt so t hey can tie the series and then go back to Boston Garden and hopefully steal one game.

I think Dallas will win if KP will not play, as for the latest update, the big man is questionable.

Porzingis has rare tendon issue in lower left leg, is questionable for Game 3 of NBA Finals

Game 2 was close but not almost, so they need to correct every mistake they have and should play perfect at home and consider it as a do or die game, actually every game as currently being down 0-2, they don't have the odds in winning the series.

Thanks for this info, and perhaps that's why KP is not really showing that good in game 2 as compare to his performance in game 1. So if he is not going to play, then maybe we will see lob passes by Luka and Kyrie to Lively, Gafford and even PJ Washington because that's what they are missing, easy points in that paint with that lob pass.

And most likely this is the reason why the Mavs are the favorite going into game 3, it will be at American arena in which they are comfortable and then KP is not there to man the middle against them.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny - Pacquiao VS Chihiro Suzuki Exhibition Match on: June 12, 2024, 09:44:44 AM
^^ We can't really rely on those records though, I mean it's two different discipline, and it's obvious that one is going to cross over on boxing and this is Suzuki. And we all know that legendary career of Manny in boxing, so there's no point of comparison.

And yes, this is just a obvious fight for the money, and then have the bragging rights to fight for Suzuki as again, Manny is known throughout as a boxing legend. Probably there will sports bookies that will cover this fight. As you can see the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is all over the crypto base bookies so it could be the same in this fight.

Correct, but the Japanese really looks tough and his weight is just around the welterweight division in boxing wherein Manny used to be a champion and that's where he become the oldest when he beat Keith Thurman. But this fight is boxing, rules, gloves and the ring and so Pacman has all the advantage here.

Definitely, this fight is a must for sports bookies, fiat based or crypto related gambling sites as they all know that Pacman has a lot of fans and so they should list this fight as soon as possible and see money flowing in for Pacman as he will be a huge favorite here.

14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin not coin memecoin on: June 12, 2024, 02:24:47 AM
Meme coins such as NOT coin are only lighter than in BTC, this is why people assumes that they can pump easily and the returns that they can get are going to be higher than in BTC. BTC is still more guaranteed to last longer than them. Yes, BTC can influence those coins you mentioned there and not only them actually but others too.

People are not wrong for thinking that the new memecoin can give them more profits then Bitcoin when they invest in the memecoins but they fail to also consider the risk that they are exposing their money to because the memecoin can either give them more money or do not give them any money because they failed and many memecoin are failing than succeeding. Bitcoin is not a memecoins and it is not going to be rising only because at times it is going to fall because it is having a retrace. But Bitcoin does not stay down for very long as it will soon start rising again therefore every opportunity that Bitcoin gives should be considered a discount and be used for accumulating more Bitcoin instead of panicking to make you to start selling the Bitcoin that you already own.

That is true, there are investors and they could be mostly newbies who thought that meme coins is crypto itself, and they have the mentally that maybe they got from social media influencers that it is best to invest on them instead of Bitcoin because they are going to make a lot of money.

On the other hand, yeah, there could be meme coins that can give you like 50x-500x in returns, but the risk is very high to the point that it will likely to be comparable to gambling because you really don't know the outcome. Instead of investing in Bitcoin, might be a slow growth, but it will be steady and you can sleep at night knowing that there's not a chance that it will really go to 0 overnight.

16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breakout Alert! 🚀 on: June 11, 2024, 11:05:33 AM
Bitcoin is continuing its uptrend following the Elliott waves pattern. Currently, it's trading within a symmetric triangle pattern, which typically breaks in the direction of the prevailing trend. Get ready for a big move after the breakout

You mean a down trend break out? If yes, yeah, prices goes down hard after hovering around $69k for the past 3 days. Not it's down to $66k, not sure what news that could have triggered this down trend, but I'm speculating that there could be negative news because this market should still be in the sideways, but know it suddenly goes down hard.

So let's see, still very early for this month, nevertheless, if you look at the historical pattern, this month could be negative to us. Not a big down trend like a spiral, but still it could be around this price range of $63k-$66k.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct on: June 11, 2024, 03:12:57 AM

I'm not sure though if Spence can score a knockout victory here, if he will ever win this fight, I think it will be a decision win for him and Fundora is very tough specially with how he showed in the Tim Tszyu fight.

Prior to him becoming a champion, if I'm not mistaken, he was in the top 5, and against Mendoza, he was leading in the judges scorecard, all 3 of them have Fundora by 4 or 5 points. Until Mendoza caught him with that huge punch that's why he was knockout. But if not for that, I think he could have won that fight.

But that one knockout loss by Fundora is a reference to all the fighters that want to beat him, I'm sure Spence watched and will continue to watch to spot Fundora's weakness and try to create a similar situation where he was knocked down.

The strategy that I can think of is Spence will try to get the match as close as possible so he can get his left hook he will go toe to toe here because as long as he is close to Fundora, Fundora has no advantage over him.

When you have that height advantage the body is an easy target if Spence worked on the body he would have a good opening in the face, Spence needs to win this fight and I'm sure he is so serious about his training because another defeat could be the end of his career.

I will say he just caught him at the right place at the right time,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6vfb-qFzRM

It was a left hook, Spence is not known to have power in his left hook and he himself was vulnerable to it, against Ugas and Porter Jr, but they just failed to capitalized it. Tim also try that strategy as well, but Fondura was a well aware of already and so he covers his left side once he throws his right hand.

Body could be a good target, I will agree to dhat, and that could be the plan of Spence before he go upstairs and trying to open up Fundora.

This is Haney's first lost as a pro-boxer, so yeah, it could hurt his ego because Ryan took that 0 from him. Although as we have argued, NY Athletic Commission might turn this to just NC in his resume.

But the full brunt will still be on Ryan here, he is a rising superstar and the next big cash cow, but this can affect his career as when the Commission put down their verdict, it could be a year suspension for him although he can still live because he has so much money in this bank account.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 11, 2024, 01:12:42 AM
The crazy thing is that the Mavericks are the favorites to win game 3… In not sure home court advantage can make up for the shortcomings we’ve been witnessing.
The Celtics are deaf with the crowd noise but homecourt advantage is still an advantage for any team that they're playing at their own home.

I've seen a survey that most of the states in the US except one are in wanting to see the Dallas Mavericks win the ring this season. But let's see if that will matter.

I am starting to see fans tell that Celtics @ 4.

Mavs is what we call the sentimental favorites for basketball fans across US. I don't know why they have the hate against Celtics though, maybe it was that Boston has many championships already and that's why they wanted for the Mavs and Luka to get one at least in his career.

I do agree that homecourt advantage is still an advantage. Usually, teams perform very well in their homecourt with their fans behind them with all the support and love. Hopefully, it will be true that the Dallas team can get 1 win in this series, to get him confidence to get back and tie in in game 4.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 07, 2024, 09:11:05 AM
I want Jayson Tatum to win the MVP if Boston wins the championships but it's more like Brown or who knows even Porzingis and Holiday can win it too. Tatum playing 42 minutes looks like people wanted him to win the MVP. While Brown and Porzingis already went out of the game earlier. But I am seeing Brown and some of the players more confident than Tatum. I want Tatum to keep driving inside and just make assists or fouls.

Anyways, what a game. I expected a blowout win by the Celtics and it happened. I just did not expect Porzingis to be that deadly on his first return after months of inactivity.

Brown has a terrific game again, not just in offense, but playing defense against Luka and had couple of blocks if I'm not mistaken. And he has that momentum from being the Eastern conference finals MVP, and so it will carry him over this series and maybe if he is consistent, maybe he will won the Finals MVP.

I don't think the KP will win the MVP here, yeah just a good game in his comeback, but for sure the Mavs might have to change on how they are going to guard him and maybe put Gafford and not allow a switch as he had that in this game and have a smaller player on him and so easy mid range jumper or a three from 30 feet.
