1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte (December 2) on: November 29, 2023, 11:54:55 PM
~
But the odds shows that Garcia is the favorite, Duarte is a long shot, a huge 4:1 underdog in this fight. So I don't see this going into full 12 rounds, and it could end in a knockout win by Ryan Garcia. Even the over and under, it's listed at 8.5 rounds.
Ryan Garcia is the favorite but he is coming back to this fight against Oscar Duarte after an upset loss in the last fight and the import thing is that Ryan Garcia has changed his fight camp completely after the loss and now he is with the new trainer and he was complaining about his weight cut, so it is interesting to see how he returns after the loss with a new head coach.

A lotto winner in the Philippines who won 12 million pesos in 2014 worth $217k now, can finally claim his lotto winning and this is after 9 years of legal battle
That is a long battle to win a lottery and i wonder how much he paid in lawyer fees for all these years to get $217k in return. Hope it is worth the battle because it does not sound like a lot of money to battle for 9 years considering how much legal fees you will be paying in a situation like this.

~
I remember having similar experience some time ago in the past. I made a huge win of almost $2k but misplaced the ticket and the company refused to pay the win when I returned to claim the win, on the ground that I can't claim my win without my ticket because there's no way to confirm that I am really the owner of the win. It was really frustrating I must say, I tried the best I could but all efforts proved abortive so I had to just let it go. I bet if the money was up to that $217k you bet I wouldn't just let it go, I would've fought tooth and nail to make sure I get money no matter how long it'd take or how much I had to sacrifice to make sure I get my money. It did teach me a lesson though, never to loose a ticket.
How would you fight tooth and nail if you are not having the ticket ? You lost the ticket, you do not get the win, end of story !!!

Next up Sinner v Rune

Sinner is already through to the next stage so will he be playing at 100% or 80%?

I'm not betting on this because of that, sinner is still favourite at 1.40, Rune at 3.4??
It was a great match because at a point in the match in the third set i thought Holger Rune would win the match and the odds changed drastically to even 2.7 for a Jannik Sinner win and just then i saw some huge bets coming in his way in some of the sites and he magically displayed his skill level and won the rest of the match easily Cheesy.

Sinner is in the form of his life and a face off against Djokovic once again in the final would be epic.

Mohammed Shami completely comesback dismisses Daryl Mitchell
Daryl Mitchell out means New Zealand's lost .

Daryl Mitchell has done enough on his own but now he is out so New Zealand's defeat is assured.
Whenever India needs wicket Mohammed Shami picks up the wicket and another 5 wickets in this worldcup, the innings from Daryl Mitchell was a consolation century for New Zealand fans and he alone cannot chase the total of 397 but he was able to put the fielders under pressure for a while and it was fun to watch when the entire stadium is silent  Grin.

This case has certainly damaged the good reputation of the Nurmagomedov clan, which previously had truly great fighters and even always held champion titles in their respective classes.
I saw in my trusted news broadcast that there was an official response from Usman Nurmagomedov that the failure of the test was due to the presence of substances in the medicine he was taking and that the medicine was prescribed by doctor after he experienced health problems.
Usman mistake was that he did not notify the Athletic Commission or (CSAC) of this problem from the start.

But I haven't seen any clear news about whether he was actually stripped of his lightweight title belt or not because I haven't been able to find any developments.
This is quite serious problem for the Nurmagomedov family and especially for Usman himself.
You clearly mentions that Usman failed the drug test because he was taking medication, if that is the situation then how come the reputation of Nurmagomedov or his entire clan get questioned? Bellator is not having issues as they are aware of the medical situation he was undergoing during that period and even the commission is aware of the situation and yet they are giving a 6 month suspension.

Didn't expect that Alcaraz would loose, but as you say, it is not the end of the world. Even the greatest of all time do loose some matches so nothing unusual that Alcaraz looses a match here. In every sport upsets happen and sometimes you can make some good money out of it also
You should not call the loss from Alcaraz was a surprise, he is not playing the best tennis for a while. He played some great games but check out his performance in the past two months and you will understand why it is not an upset, on the other hand the loss encountered by Novak Djokovic yesterday against Sinner was an upset because Djokovic was unbeaten for 19 consecutive matches.

Hotstar will be quite happy with the viewership count. The peak viewership measured at close to 3.5 crore till now, and as we enter the depth overs we can expect anything near 5 crore, which is going to be a new record. Shubman Gill has reached his half century, but from the other end Virat Kohli is playing a bit more cautiously.
The match is available here in ESPN+ and there is nothing about the viewership available for the event, any useful tip as the money line is not looking good as the match looks one sided as the New Zealand bowlers are struggling and unable to pick wickets rather the batsman needs to walk back due to cramps like Gill.

Did you play more? Did you play less? Any thought or opinion on that?
Feel free to add your answer on my survey
I am not compulsive enough to place a bet looking at the overall price of bitcoin. If the mental frame is good enough to wage some bets, then it does not matter what the price is as long as i am holding the coins. For new users who are placing a bet, price is a factor, the more price the less coins you can gamble, not the case if you are holding the coins  Wink.

Yes, there are fake ones but how we can filter this type of deal is if a good cex gets to list the token at the long run
You cannot trust these CEX, if the token is good at marketing and influence the investors and if they are willing to pay good amount of money they will be listing the token, just check out any CEX and you will find a good amount of junk tokens listed only to pump and dumb. The only way to identify good project is to read their whitepaper and identify what they are brining to the table.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: October 27, 2023, 09:56:41 PM

For me, Fury does not look in the best shape he has ever been but he insists he trained hard enough as though the fight will go on for 12 rounds. Watching the weigh-in was another classic from Fury. The way he stood opposite Ngannou was hilarious and how Ngannou was unable to look at him eye to eye  Grin
 
Fury looks like this in all of his fights, he is not having the best physique in all of the fights i watched but he is really good enough to win in the end and he is having cardio for ages as you will never see him getting tired and the agility for his size is incredible.

We have a lot of Ngannou supporters here thinking he could do something magical against an elite boxer who is undefeated, the only question is whether Ngannou can survive all the punches and go to a decision or if he falls before that, Tyson Fury by decision is a good pick considering the odds, how many rounds, is this the usual 6 rounds, if so it can end in a decision win for Fury.

It's going to be hard for both of them, Islam also has short notice to come up with a tactic against Volk. But I don't think neither of them is satisfied with the last fight, so they'll likely to come up with something new. I expect Volk to push hard from the start and look for a knockout.
Islam put an end to the rivalry with a head kick knockout, bet no one would have expected that coming. Was expecting some wrestling and a good fight but Islam Makhachev once again reminded everyone that he is not a one trick pony and that he is dangerous on the feet as well which is terrifying for his opponents as he will be reigning the division for a long time since he is keeping on improving with every fight.

Khamzat Chimaev had a good fight and he showcased his wrestling against an elite wrestler, wonder what would happen if it was a 5 round fight because he gassed out badly after the first round and anyone with good cardio could handle and will be able to defeat him.

And speaking of the press conference, for sure the great stoppage because of the doctor was revealed by Dana White, and Johnny Walker was then asked by the doctor and he said that he was on the dessert which Dana White was said not wrong because they are in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates so he is not really wrong for sure it was a language barrier or a misunderstanding, that have gotten Johnny Walker, and another think that happen inside the arena was a fan jump on Paulo Costa and wants to fight him it was insane but the UFC security have managed to subdue the fight for sure,
If that is the case for the doctor to call off the fight, then it is ridiculous. They should provide the translator before making these decisions. UFC should run this fight again as it would have been an entertaining fight.

Sure because of that boxing fight against Logan Paul, many have anticipated because for sure they want to see Logan Paul get knockout, but instead, and just like what happened to a boxer versus an MMA fighter it is clear that the boxer will certainly defeat the MMA fighter on a boxing fight,
Anyone who thought Dillan would knockout anyone out in any fight have no idea why they are watching the fight, he got decent control on the ground and i saw one fight in Bellator and for a moment expected him to gas out punching the opponent on the ground.

but in Dillon Danis's case, Dana White didn't really want to do something about Dillon Danis for sure that fight was a Disgrace to the MMA community, it was a boxing fight and Danis was using a takedown and a guillotine a boxing fight for some reason that was was a total Chaos, it is not that entertaining but it was not boring at all,
Dillion Danis was able to throw 16 punches the entire fight and it was not entertaining at all, trying to pull the guard in a boxing ring is just stupid because he does not know how to fight  Cheesy.

I agree for sure if you lose a decision in your fight you surely can not complain that you got robbed the 1st fight was super close and as I said in that 1st fight Islam Makhachev proved that he also has great striking and Volk has proven his wrestling defense to Makhachev, for sure this is going to be a great fight for sure but I think I might still go with Islam Makhachev here Alexander Volkanovski is on short notice, and doesn't have a full camp and he have revealed that he was lessened his training just to be mentally ready for the fight,
Alexander Volkanovski displayed great defense in the first fight and he showed it is impossible to hold him down for a short guy it is impressive, unfortunately the rematch is a short notice one and hence it will be a difficult fight for Alexander Volkanovski as the fight is taking place in Dubai.

This card was doomed before that with their performance as some of the users were experiencing crashing and there were reports that there is issue with the capacitors use, what ever it may be it was crashing when you are overclocking above 2.0GHz and now the vapor chamber issues and still the price of RTX 3080 is not coming down.

The Drake's Curse.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?
There is no denying the fact that Drake is a dumb gambler and many of his predictions goes through the shitter and in this case Dillon Danis does not even know how to fight let alone get into a boxing ring and Logan Paul is not known to be a knockout puncher either, placing a bet on Logan Paul and fight going the distance would be a smart move as it is only 6 rounds and neither are great boxers.

Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?
 
Are you talking about offline or online skill based slots, if so which casino is providing them. Without playing the game, it is hard to share the opinion as i have no idea about the skill based slots other than the free rolls how come you will be able to apply your skills.

~
If now skill is required, then my options to win any prizes will be reduced even more. And, as other people said, I don't think that the the owners of the machines will make it easier to win by implementing this.
Fair point, it is hard to defeat a machine if it is a skill based game  Cheesy.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: April 03, 2023, 12:01:45 AM

There is no such thing as finding closure in gambling unless the person decided to quit gambling.  A gambler does not need to find closure, he must provide and decide for it himself.  Because if he looks for it on his gameplay, he will never find it anyway, he will keep on gambling until he is broke.
Once you are addicted it is hard to find closure unless you get help which is a sketchy situation if no one is there to guide you and gambling online can create that unfortunate situation. Unless you set a monthly budget, you would probably end up loosing everything.

 But I started playing blackjack yesterday with $1k and noticed that the casino sites are somehow cheating us. I lost my $1k yesterday. through Blackjack. What do you think about casino site algorithms?  Are they cheating with us?
I seriously do not trust many of the games, it depends upon which site you were gambling and you cannot trust every casino and expect them to be fair. If you check online, you would find many scam accusations that proved that certain casino were cheating. I did play in some of the trusted casinos in the cryptocurrency space and i think they are fair as we never had any serious accusations regarding their algorithm.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Solana hit $40 this year? on: March 25, 2023, 12:14:43 AM
I always see these posts about coins hitting a certain fiat dollar amount.  The problem is that it's all dependent on bitcoin usd value.  People need to stop trying to pin point a usd value for altcoins and start trying to hit sat price.  If bitcoin goes up alts do too.  If bitcoin goes down so do alts.  The trick is the in between.
Not necessarily the price is always dependent on bitcoin and USD value, the problem with Solana is that they are having bugs which causes the network to fail and with the limited number of projects that started using them have already migrated to other networks because they cannot trust a network which keeps on failing and the promise of long term fix is not yet fulfilled.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The problem is that it could take again many years to recover on: May 16, 2021, 07:41:03 PM
you just proved that your only here for the pump and not for the dump .
Everyone is bound to watch the market dump and there is nothing that is going to prevent that. He can sell the coins and watch as a spectator when the market goes down and that is what majority expect to do until they invested after the rally reached its highest valuation as they are once who are usually forced to sell at a loss.


im used to the dump after a pump because once i sell i can buy at low again and so what if theres no 100k , 1million , and so on but as long as value recover and pass more than its last value   , i can still earn something  .
It is a general expectation that the market would build stronger with time and till now we have not seen the support valuation we see before the rally after the bull run even after a major crash and when that cycle is breached we might see more panic in the market Cheesy.
