Warriors are really a big mess this season. They have won only 5 of their 12 games so far. Steph Curry is actually incredible still. They won their last two games and Curry scored 40+ points in both of them. He is giving his best for the team as usual but the team effort doesn't seem to be satisfying for now. On the other hand this two-game winning streak might be a sign of a recovery maybe. To tell the truth I don't expect Warriors to fail in qualifying for playoffs this season. But if they keep an inconsistent performance then I won't be favouring them for the championship this time. Things are going well for Celtics now too. Maybe they can finish their incomplete job and reach the championship this season who knows.  They were not favorite last year but they won anyway, so I am not giving up on the warriors yet. It is too early to tell that they are not going to win the ring. They still have a good roster that can win any game. I think they just need to fine tune their plays and adjust it to better fit their current roster. Jordan Poole is still in a shooting woes and once he gets out of it, he will be a big help for the big 3 of the warriors. The Clippers hosting Nets will be a good game to watch later. The visiting team will be without Kyrie again but they've been getting better results as we've seen in their last four games. Which team are you going for? I'm taking Clippers on ML. Odds at 1.84 looks good since they've been playing well lately too.
I agree that the Nets vs Clippers game is the best game of the day. I won’t be able to watch it because I don’t have that channel so I won’t be betting on it. I’m not sure I’d know who to bet anyway. I’m assuming Kawhi and John Wall won’t be playing and with Kyrie out and Ben Simmons still struggling, it’s like a match up of the most inconsistent teams in the league. I hope they can both manage to get things figured out before too much longer. Brooklyn is currently on the lead by 3 with 6 minutes left in the game. I bet on brooklyn to win this game and hoping that Kevin Durant will be able to carry the team over the kawhi less Clippers. John wall is playing so I am not sure if the brooklyn can keep their lead. I am hoping for the best. |

Outsiders has locked in a slot for the finals. They have beaten Mouz after 3 maps. I thought they would take it in just 2 maps, but Mouz was able to come back on Overpass and forced a third map. But their effort was not enough because Outsiders dominated them in Inferno. Outsiders are very intelligent players and their tactics worked very well against Mouz.
Furia is currently leading in the first map against Heroic. And as usual, the crowd is going wild chanting for Furia. The crowd is really powering Furia and as usual Kscerato is performing very well again in front of his countrymen. My only sensible take for the Furia phenomena is to bet 3 maps because Heroic can surely put up enough resistance for that as can Furia and I think whoever wins does not do so easily.
I'll keep the game on in mobile and hop in for a Furia bet if they lose map like what happened with vs Navi but so far both teams are being competitive imo.
That is a logical bet. I also think Heroic can take this to a third map. |

My bets for today  Los Angeles Clippers vs Brooklyn NetsI expect that the match between Los Angeles Clippers (7-5) and Brooklyn Nets (5-7) will be a close game. Brooklyn will have to rely to Kevin Durant to carry the team against Clippers. They will be missing Kyrie in this game while the Clippers will be missing Kawhi. Washington Wizard vs Utah JazzUtah Jazz (10-3) will visit Washington Wizard (6-6) in their game tonight. Utah Jazz is favorite in this game. Utah has won 2 out of 3 games that they are favorite. They are looking to extend their winning streak into 5 wins. Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Detroit Pistons (3-10) will defend their arena against the Boston Celtics (9-3) tonight. The Boston Celtics is looking to extend their winning streak into 6 against the Pistons. They are heavily favorite to win this game and I think they can do it. They win 75% of the time they are named odds favorite. |

Have you guys noticed the massive calls of the officials regarding the "ball carry"? Jordan Poole is mostly whistled on this.
I am glad they are getting stricter in the dribbling section because many players are trying to get away from it.
Is that a new rule? They do not usually call that before this season, but they are doing it now. Or are they just getting stricter in that section of basketball? Which is okay for me as long as it is called consistently throughout the league. No hope for the Lakers now. The help that LeBron needs is no longer being filled up by the players who's surrounding him.
unlike with Miami and Cavs where he was surrounded by role players.
Same with the bubble where he played with those role players, but the management trade them and instead of keeping
them all for another title.
And also, the teams are now tougher than the previous season, teams are developing good system to establish good
chemistries to be more competitive.
Well, that is what you get when you trade all your role players and draft picks for a superstar. You put all your eggs in one basket. But for the Lakers, their basket is not producing for them. They could still get back in the game this season if they can get some good role players, particularly, shooters that can space the floor and players that can make their own shots off the dribble. Since their stars can't carry the team, then they have to let go at least one for the role players that they need. |

Well...I've said that RIO crowd will push Furia towards the finals and so far they are doing it but Kaserato is on a god tier level right now and I cannot see him missing his shots in the semi-finals today against Heroic. Furthermore , there is a small revenge here for Brasil as Heroic is a german team and if you watch the twitch chat , whenever a team has 7-1 the entire chat will start typing "Br71L". With this being said , Furia will reach the finals. And they did. A few times now that I saw Furia almost losing the game and they were able to comeback and win because of the encouragement of the crowd. I am now thinking they could win Rio Major because of the support of the crowd. Maybe Kscerato is so good because he is playing in a Brazillian crowd and he is so motivated because of the crowd.
Outsiders vs Mouz later with Outsiders being the favorite @ 1.62. Though Outsiders is the favorite, I am betting on Mousesports this time. They are solid this major and I think they will be playing in the finals. Heroic will be going against the crowd favorite, Furia this time. Will Heroic continue their epic journey and go to the finals or will Furia power through the finals? Both have good momentum beating Top teams going to the semi-finals. I am not going to bet on this one because I cannot really tell which team is better. They even have an equal odds on stake @ 1.87. Maybe just go with over 2.5 maps since this match will go the distance. |

Furia vs Navi can that goto 3 maps. People are getting a bit carried away to suggest Furia can win the entire major apparently, shouldnt happen but home advantage can make anything possible. I'll go with 3 maps for fun, arguably betting 0-2 for Navi win is nicer odds at 2.65x
Navi is much better than Furia for sure so taking 0-2 for Navi isnt really a bad one somehow. I took Furia to win though, personally love the odds better and I honestly think this could go either side so I took this one. 3rd game on 1st map and currently both are pretty even right now but not gonna lie, Navi seems to be better though You cannot deny the influence of the crowd against Navi and for Furia. They were able to tie the series, 1 map a piece. They are now in their 3rd map, and they are performing quite well. They are toe in toe against Navi in Mirage. This series could go either way. Let's see if your bet would pay off. The crowd is very supportive of Furia and that could power them to win against a powerhouse like Navi. The crowd is with them but we'll see if this crowd would be disappointed after the next map. I saw them disappointed and gave dirty hands to simple because simple taunted them. The crowd is very supportive of Furia since the challenger's stage. I think it is bad to taunt the crowd because that is just a distraction. They lost the second map, and they could lose the third map. Furia is in the lead right now and the crowd is going wild. |

Here is my bet for today  Orlando Magic vs Phoenix SunsThe Phoenix Suns (8-3) is going up against Orlando Magic (3-9). Chris Paul is listed questionable, but the Suns have lots of talent to fill up the void if Chris Paul is out. Booker will be taking command and I know they can easily beat Orlando Magic. Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets The Boston Celtics (8-3) will face Denver Nuggets (8-3) at home. I am undecided with this one because both teams are performing extremely well. So, I go with the one with a home court advantage. Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings The Los Angeles Lakers (2-9) will be missing the service of Lebron James tonight as they face the Sacramento Kings (4-6). But I am curious how will Westbrook be performing now that he have domain over the ball. This could be good for the Lakers. I guess, I will see if my bet is good. |

Also, they're lucky that Cloud9 got too aggressive on the second half of the second map forcing a bunch of scrap buys that didn't work than to fully save for a proper buy round.
That actually spelled their doom in that game. They did not save to have a proper gun round next and forced rounds. Also, Mouz played spectacularly in that game. They have completed knocking down a division 1 team. That is a great achievement and good momentum moving on to the semifinals.
Heroic and Team Spirit are on their first map right now and Heroic is currently in the lead 7-4 on the CT side. I favor team Spirit to win this series but I cannot dismiss Heroic since they have proved they can win against heavy favorites before. Also, this major has too much upset matches that I am inclined to believe that Heroic will pull an upset in this game as well. |

Lebron James must be pretty angry with the team now. Because the team are still a mess as it is seen clearly from their results so far. They have won only 2 out of 10 games. Lebron is still doing his best and performing strongly despite being 37 years old. But the team are still struggling to get wins just as it was in the previous season.
Westbrook is still here. Lakers should have traded him with a more talented and consistent guard. If Lakers insist on not making the right transfer moves there is no way they are saving themselves out of this mess.
The only news I'm waiting is that Lebron James will request a trade and seriously I won't be shocked if that happens because this situation he's in is the least thing he should want, at his age, I know he still wanted to win another championship before he depart the league and he won't get that in his current situation. What I'm thinking is he might go back to Miami where Butler is. He just signed an extension so he cannot be traded until the 2023 season. Even if he wanted out, he still needs to play this season. And I think he is committed to the Lakers and he likes LA. I do not think he would request a trade even though there is already a fake Twitter post asking for a trade and wants to go back to Cavs. I think he would be retiring in LA uniform. The team just needs to find a way to win with their current roster because I do not see any roster change soon. If the Jazz can find wins without superstars, the Lakers should be able to find wins too since they have 3 superstars. No doubt about that, take Giannis out of the equation and the Milwaukee Bucks will surely fall apart and won't seriously afford to get a seat on the playoffs. But the good thing about them is that they are still reliable enough and can still be a threat to the league even though Giannis is resting or acquired an injury. Though that only applies to a much weaker team.
I think that is given. Any team without their superstar is not going to the playoffs, aside from the Jazz, maybe. Luckily, Giannis does not have an injury that will sideline him for a long time and Middleton will be back soon. The Bucks will back to a winning streak soon. |

It is evident by now that Irving is the problem, but it's good that Durant is not affected by it and just choose to play his game and bring the team to win against their rival the Knicks. But still though, Durant will need to have a lot of help if he wanted to bring a championship to Brooklyn. I don't think that Simmons can give him, they did a big man as well in the middle and a steady point guard. Also a breathe of fresh air with a new coach could also be motivating Durant.
It is just one game win and against the Knicks. Do not dismiss Irving so fast just because the team won against the Knicks. It is not that much of an achievement. If it is against a tougher team like Celtics , Mavs or Suns, you may say that Irving is the problem, But it is not. Irving can be very difficult to handle on social media and how he sees things, but he is still very effective in court. He is very talented but his game is affected by his personal issues. It is unbelievable what Bucks players are doing even without Giannis and Kris Middleton at the same time. I mean this team is keep winning games and they are missing their 2 best players. I used to think that Bucks was great thanks to Giannis, and even believed that Giannis alone couldn't do much if Kris didn't help so much with the scoring.
Now.. well I am not so sure, apparently Bucks is already good and Giannis is of course 2 time MVP and having a third MVP season nowadays, but that doesn't mean it’s like Lebron in Cavs and when you take him they sucked type of deal, it is actually good even without their MVP caliber player and that’s an amazing thing.
Wow, I have never watched the Bucks but I am impressed in their standing right now. If they keep winning without their superstars, this will be a very scary team comes the playoffs. Do you think it will be their peak this season? Will they win another championship this year? |

We are now on the third map (Ancient) of the quarterfinals between Mouz and C9. Currently, C9 is in the lead with 5-0 on CT side. Mouz needs to steal a few round as T on this map so they will have a better advantage when they switch sides later. I believe Mouz is still not out of this even though C9 is ahead because this map is more favorable for CT side. As long as Mouz can still some rounds and not give c9 too much lead before they switch sides, they can still come back to this game.

Here's my bet for today  Washington Wizards vs Dallas MavericksThe Dallas Mavericks (6-4) is trying to bounce back from their loss against the Orlando Magic. The Washington Wizards (5-6) are playing without their key player Bradley Beal which gives the Dallas Mavericks an edge over them. I believe this will be a close game since the Mavs are on the second leg of their back-to-back game. Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia SixersThe Atlanta Hawks (7-4) are the favorite to win against Philadelphia Sixers (5-6) in their match-up today. I bet on the Sixers to win against the Hawks who are on the second leg of their back-to-back game. Though Harden will not be playing because of an injury, I believe the sixers still have enough talent to bet the hawks on their home. |

So for you, is copying bets online a good practices? have you tried it and won before? would you try it when you really want to bet and have no idea where or what sports to bet on?
I think it is good if you know the bet you are copying. Do not just copy blindly. At least you have the basic knowledge and can tell if the bet is good or not. Then you are can make a good decision if you copy or not. It is a good way to find some good bets you might miss if you are just betting on your own. You can just scroll through the bets and you might find events that you have missed that you can bet on. I hope you can know whose bet you are copying so the person can develop a reputation. Like if you know this person is good in NBA, then you can copy his NBA bets because you know he has a high chance of getting the bet right. |

Here are my bets for today  Indiana Pacers vs Denver NuggetsIndiana Pacers(5-5) are competitive this year and I predict this will be a close match against the Denver Nuggets (7-3). Though I still believe that the Nuggets will be able to defeat the Pacers in this game. Boston Celtics vs Detriot Pistons The Boston Celtics (7-3) is heavy favorite against the Detriot Pistons (3-8). The Celtics will be riding on the back of Jayson Tatum who is averaging 31 points per game on a 49.8% shooting percentage from the field. I think this will be an easy win by the Celtics. Atlanta Hawks vs Utah JazzMost will probably go with the favorite in this match, but I want to take my chance with the young guns of the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are on 3 winning streaks on the road and they will probably extend that here in Atlanta. They had enough rest, and they are riding their good game toward their match against the Hawks. |

Some gamblers keep their gambling activities secrete from people they have close relationship with. Having it in mind that if these people know they are gamblers,it might bring down their reputation or make them look wasteful. I hide my gambling activities from my Mom the reason is that she hates gamblers and calls them irresponsible people from her own perspective.
Are you such gambler ?
Who are these people you hide your gambling activities from ?
Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.
I hide my gambling activities from my boss and workmates. I think it may affect my professional relationship with them if they know I am a gambler. They may think differently of me if they know I am a gambler, which could lead to affecting my status in my work. I do not hide it from family, loved ones, and friends. I think they are a good source of support if I need them. They can also be a control group if ever I am overdoing my gambling activities. |

Fighting out a legendary fighter even if this is the old Manny pacquiao but this guy do still have the speed and power which it doesnt mean that you could belittle him
or being too confident that you could beat up.
Well, this is an exhibition fight which it isnt really that surprising that matches been made is mostly on cross-sports.So it doesnt really give out that much interest on my part.
Pacquiao's last fight as a professional boxer was Aug 21, 2021. That is over a year now. I do not think that he still has the power and the speed that we used to know. Even in his last fight, he is already stiff and does not have the footwork that we used to see. This is just an exhibition match so I do not expect to see anything fancy or reminiscent of the previous glory of Pacquiao. I will watch this just for entertainment value and for being sentimental about seeing Manny Pacquiao in the ring again. But I do not expect very much because his opponent is not a real boxer. |

At least it's a good news that Dwight Howard has found a home somewhere else, and so he can continue with his basketball career.
And there is no shame in playing somewhere else, maybe when he play better in other league, some NBA team will see that he still have it and maybe get him again. And there are players like Marbury who after their career is over in the NBA, became superstar in China and for sure still made a ton of money. And again, usually ex-NBA players find stardom in China or Taiwan league. Perhaps they have the advantage being an NBA player or it is really that they still have that fire inside of them to play hard every day.
I am also happy for Dwight Howard to find a career outside of NBA. Though he does not have a career in NBA already, he is still competitive, especially in a lesser league in Taiwan. I am sure he will be a force in Taiwan and the fans of Taoyuan City Leopards will be delighted to have him on the team. Since the schedule in Taiwan is not as hectic as NBA, he will be healthier and have lots of energy to perform well in his new team. |

Legends stage is now finished. We are now in the Champions stage and here are the final 8 teams who qualified for the Champions Stage.
1. Cloud9 vs MOUZ
2. Outsiders vs Fnatic
3. Heroic vs Team Spirit
4. Furia Esports vs Na'vi
Because of this unexpected results coming from Rio Major, there is now a new #1 in world ranking. Faze and Vitality is now down to 3rd and 4th spot. THe new #1 in world ranking is Na'vi followed by Liquid. We will still expect so much changes in the ranking as the tournament progresses. We may see Furia go high in ranking as they are heavily favored by the crowd. The chants of the crowd while Furia is electrifying.
Do you have any favorite in the teams left for Rio Major?

Earlier today I saw the Facebook page of Invictus Gaming posting that The International 12 will be once again hosted by Seattle in the United States. Some comments were like, goodbye to Russian players and the visa issues. Not to delve any further into politics but I do hope that the war in Ukraine ends before the next TI.
Is this official? I am searching the web but I cannot see an announcement for where the next TI will be. If this is true, then you are right, Russian players will have a very hard time entering the US. Russian players were not able to play in Arlington because of Visa issues. It may happen again if the next venue will be in the United States. I think it is better if the next TI will be held in South America. They are getting better in the game and it will be a big boost to them if the next TI will be held there. Hope it happens. Next is Big vs NaVi and we might see 3 maps in this game as well even if Big is having a rough CS:GO lately.
This Major is full of upset. The top teams are sent home early in this tournament. Faze, Vitality are all gone now. And since that is the trend in this Major, I am betting with BIG in this match-up. For me, Navi is still very shaky in this tournament. |

Instead of improving their rooster they still get veteran and unreliable rooster that's why it affect to much on their game. Maybe the salary cap hit them badly because they already have a huge contract with their big 3 and they take a hard time to dispose on of them so I guess their struggle will continue if they will not trade russ this season or even on next one.
Trading Russell Westbrook is not the solution. Can you explain how the Lakers will improve their record once Russ is traded? They can even do experiments not to allow Russ to play but don't want to. Russ is still a good player to consider and trading him is not even a good solution. Fortunately, there are Lakers who are stepping up now. If their consistency will be maintained, the Lakers will have a good bench squad. If they find somebody that can better fit the team or can space the floor with outside shooting, then they will be better if they trade Westbrook. Right now, what the Lakers need are outside shooters that can give Lebron and AD space inside the paint. Westbrook cannot give that because he is a terrible outside shooter. If he is gone, the Lakers will free up some cap space that can be used to acquire decent role players. That will be a great improvement to me. No one even expected that the Jazz will be on the #1 seed in the Western Conference, they are supposed to be tanking this season because of their situation and that they're on the process of rebuilding, while most of the stars like Gobert and Mitchell is now out of the equation. I bet the management didn't expect this to happen as well. But well, they've got what they're aiming for on the first place.
Or maybe this is really what they are aiming for and they just made us believe that they are rebuilding. They acquire really great young talents and maybe they have a good coach too that is why they are winning right now. Let's see how far this young talents will take them. |
