1201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: September 04, 2023, 03:48:15 PM
I think with regards to giving Casimero a chance, Casimero must prove himself a bit more on this weight division.  He must secure impressive wins against his upcoming opponent to impress the boxing council and possibly consider him as the top contender of that division.
He certainly needs to prove everything in this division because it's not the same anymore when he was still at 118 where he dominated each and every opponent he faced.
This time, it's new to him and the people, even the bodies are still not that convinced of what he did hence why he got a much lower rank because if these bodies have thought the opposite then Casimero should've started in the Top 10 like the other boxers who made a name in their previous weight classes.

At least currently, the effort is being rewarded from being unranked before to ranked.

Casimero just needs to keep on winning to be eligible as a contender regardless of who os the opponent, ranked or unranked, popular or not. Losing should not even be an option as losing one of his future fight from now will just result from starting again at the bottom. Who knows that he will soon face Inoue but actually it doesn't matter as the goal is to become a champion again. Don't chase Inoue and just follow what on his timeline. If they will meet, they will meet.
We don't know anything about Casimero's plans at all and we're just assuming that he's still looking forward to fight with Inoue soon but what if you're right? That right now, he's just taking things in his own pace so that he can be a champion again because there is a huge chance that Inoue will climb again once his mission at 122 is already finished and once that happens, he can dominate the division on his own because the biggest stumbling block is gone.

Suddenly I'm seeing a lot of talk about the Suns trading Bradley Beal...  I don't even know if that's an option or something they would want, but I'm hearing names like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.  I doubt the Suns would be willing to take on Harden as he's a huge risk and has already said he wants to be the number one option on whatever team he lands on, but Mitchell might be a legitimate option if they were trying to flip Beal.  I'd personally rather have Beal as I think he fits in better with other stars, but Mitchell is an elite player when it comes time to show it.

Mitchell would be a nice switch but doubt cavs would do that, and Harden just doesn't make any sense for the Suns.  Why would they already give up on Beal.  Where have ypu seen this chatter?  And last isn't there a set period of time that has to go by before he can be traded again?  If there is bad blood on that team already I'd be surprised.

Yes, that just don't make any sense because the Suns have poured enough resources to acquire Beal and then now they suddenly want to trade him so that they can make some space for Harden and Donovan. If it's Donovan, it would make sense but Harden? I don't think so. That man is already out of his prime, he can do some help but most of the time, he's just a star who is now a liability to any team that he lands on.

Well when they acquire Beal from the Wizards, it make no sense at all because of the huge contract that they have to inherit. But it seems the plan is to used him as leverage for future trade, for sure if there is a superstar that they want to trade, it won't be KD and not likely their franchise player in Booker.

So this is the only reason why the talks and the name of Beal suddenly pop up for a trade with Harden or even Donovan Mitchell. Sometimes it really doesn't make sense at all for teams to trade their superstars, it's a risk that the owners will have to take.

If it's Donovan Mitchell then I think it's worth it because acquiring Bradley Beal really hurt them because of his big contract like you've said, but I don't see any reasons why the Phoenix Suns would want to add James Harden in their roster, Mitchell would suffice. Harden's name might pop up in this rumored trade because of what he said against the Sixers but I don't think that it'll be a criteria for any team right now to acquire him because he's not that the same anymore.

Don't ever think that they need harden on the rooster since they are good team already. Considering adding him might create a bad atmosphere on the team knowing his attitude is not good if he didn't get want. Mitchell might be a good addition to them if he became a team player and can able to share the ball with his team mates but if he always want the ball in his hands maybe this is another fall down for them.

The present Harden is already a liability to any team that he gets into and worse is, he's not that kind of clutch anymore or can make some shots in crucial minutes/seconds because he is growing old already. I don't know what happened to him, I'm not that sure if it's his age but I do know that he's not that useful anymore.

Furthermore, any team that will get him might have the same situation like the Nets had and now the Sixers, I mean it's not that new anymore that he's too desperate to get a ring and would use his status, if it's any good, to go to a team that can give what he wanted. Suns don't probably want that.

Frankly speaking, this is not to downplay on the facts buttressed or the focal point, in my head, i consider lotteries not worthy of either Possible, Probable or even Proven to indulge in.

Why not just save up some money and pursue what you see as the reward an down it. If you have a million people chasing whats meant for one person, what happens to the 999999 people when the 1 person finally wins. I don't think its worth it.
Saving is definitely a good option but saving takes years before you can hit a million, that’s why people will rather chose to try their own luck and become instant millionaires when their combination digits hit the jackpot prize. The bad thing here is when they become addicted to lottery, and they can’t control anymore their betting amount. That’s the reason why betting lottery in the long run isn’t worthy at all, not because they can’t be lucky to win, but it’s rare to see people winning such a huge amount, unless if he stick to his combination number for more than a decade.
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hypothetical Question on: September 04, 2023, 09:43:06 AM
`



Bribing any players is a reality for some smaller leagues but that information are mostly classified and just for the inner circle only because they are the ones who will benefit best from it as for them, it's a business day and for some reasons, they might need that loss or win, either way, we just don't know why.

And for simple terms, to us, the gambler, there's a slight chance that we will have this kind of information as it's not that shared on the outside. And if you're a bettor, then you surely aren't from the inner circle because if you are already benefitting from it in the first place then surely you don't have to wager any money towards it. Makes sense right.
This kind of "inner circle" information is usually kept very secret. As a "semi-professional gambler", my advice? Always approach betting as a game of skill, not insider info.

People who know? Most likely, they're not betting. So, we regular gamblers have to play with the cards we're given. We work on our skills, learn about statistics and chances, and come up with plans. Putting your money on secret goals? Risky business! Instead, pay attention to facts and chances. In gambling, being right isnt about what people say; its about what you know. Its not about how many tricks you know, but how you use them.

Exactly my point. These kind of information aren't shared to someone who is not a part of their circle and if you as the bettor, know about it, then it's just a mere rumor and there is a big chance that it might be a trap meant to drive the gamblers from their supposed fighter/team to bet.

Moreover, don't let yourself to be swayed from the information that aren't really relevant to you and just focus on what you think because gambling is always about the guts and ability to think ahead so that our bets will have a much higher chances even if it's not guaranteed.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: September 04, 2023, 08:59:12 AM
~snip~
And how sure is someone about a game that they staked that the end of the game will be how you think that you will tend to set a specific win that will work? You said the truth, man, and someone who knows how to gamble won’t have any amount of money in mind saying that the specific amount in which they want to win is the fact that gaming is a lucky thing, so I don’t think it will be possible for a gambler to have a specific amount of money in which they want to be winning. It won’t work at all.

However, any gambler who sets an amount he or she wants in gambling will definitely be affected by gambling at the end because such a person will be addicted to gambling because winning money in gambling is not really easy, and I believe such people will not get that amount of money in gambling. That is why I said that person will be addicted to gambling.
It is very difficult to achieve the target of winning in gambling. I have several friends who previously had a winning target they wanted to achieve. But after they tried to achieve it, none of them succeeded and finally gave up on their target. After that, they said that we cannot win from gambling because gambling is not a place to earn money. And we have realized that having a winning target is the same as taking the risk of losing big money. And since then, they only gamble when they really want to, and even then, only for a short time because they are too afraid to lose again.

That's because his mind will keep making statements that one more spin and we can win. But they are just losing again, and it is hard to win. Some of them eventually become addicted to gambling because they lose self-control and don't realize what they are doing is wrong. Maybe there really are gamblers who can reach their target, but that's difficult if you have to do it every day.
I guess there’s no gambler who never hopes to win. All gamblers are certainly very positive on their bets, and if they won once, then they will continue betting hoping for more profitable gains. But that is not the reality of gambling. We all know that the house is just giving us a chance to win at first but eventually after that, once the urge to bet grows more, they will start taking back those profits again. That is part of their strategy, and a lot fall from it believing that they’re just too lucky to win and as long as the luck is there, they will continue to bet for the possible future profits.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: September 03, 2023, 10:54:58 PM
since the OP is already here at the forum, he can easily distinguish some of these reputable casinos found in the forum. he can check the trust summary of each rep and see who has existing issues with their players. assess also the case, if it is the fault of the player or the bookie itself. sometimes there are complaints that are not valid.
this is the benefit of forum users as they can easily spot the reputable bookies as they will know if the bookie has unresolved valid cases. of course, you would avoid such site.
He should have been able to start finding a list of valid and trusted casinos from this forum and start trying them one by one to find one that suits him. We also have a list of casinos that are different from others because we are looking for casinos that can provide comfort in playing gambling, and that is why, once we have the list, we have to examine it more thoroughly to find the casino we are looking for.

We can't just follow other people's advice to play gambling at certain casinos because maybe they have found comfort in playing gambling. Meanwhile, those of us who don't have a list like them can only keep looking until we find it. And I'm sure they will find that trusted casino because many trusted casinos can satisfy their customers in this forum.
I don't think that one needs to try all the casino platforms one by one to find out which one is the best or which suits them the most. That is why reviews and feedback are taken from people who have already used those platforms so that another person can evaluate based on the reviews and feedback provided by the community and choose a platform based on that, and then if they don't like something after joining, they can change to another one.

Community feedback is one of the most important things one should consider before joining a platform because when you see multiple people rating a certain platform, you can have an idea how they actually are and you won't need to join the platform just to test it yourself since you will have to make a deposit for that as well.
Certainly yes. Community feedbacks can be a lot helpful especially for inexperienced gamblers because it can help them find reputable casinos rather than falling in a trap with scam and not legit casinos. Moreover, community feedbacks can also be useful to track red flag casinos so that new gamblers will come to avoid them and prevent their future losses. Testing one by one is definitely a waste of time and money. They'll make you profitable at first and when you decide to increase your bets, they'll take advantage on it and get back all your profits eventually.
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: September 03, 2023, 09:51:58 PM
Less than 5% and less than 2% seems a bit close to each other. Mine is just around 3% range give or take every month so I could say that I could maybe drop it to 2% as well and it wouldn't really change a whole lot in my life, and I could increase it to 5% as well and it wouldn't suddenly make me poor neither.

However, I could say that it is going to end up with a different result one way or another, it is not going to be that simple in the end and should be a bit of a difficult question based on what your income is. Someone who makes 500 dollars a month and someone who makes 50k a month should not have the same result, while one can spend 10% easily, the other can't. That's why this changes from person to person.
However, the only thing I am certain of is that you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose. Spending 5% or below is easy to say, but when you are already experiencing consistent huge profits in gambling, I think it would be hard for anyone to stop, thinking that the moment you stop, you will eventually lost your luck and never get the chance again to be in huge profits. This is why most gamblers never win ultimately, aside from the fact that the house should always be the one to win.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 03, 2023, 07:27:07 PM
Can't really understand what you did mean, but the casino is keep making money despite bull or bear market, maybe there's a casino that choose to convert their volatile cryptos into stable coin, so either bull or bear market, their wealth are relatively stable.

Right now we're in bear market, but there are many new casino comes up and the old casinos are still survive.
Crypto games will never lose its value regardless if the market turns bearish or bullish on the other side. Same with crypto casinos that never fail to keep making profits either the market is in deep bearish or bullish. That is why in the last previous years, the number of legit crypto casinos has risen more because as crypto betting becomes more popular, different crypto casinos as well continue to serve the players with interesting and exciting crypto games.

If you look at simple numbers, the industry is growing really fast. But what if we adjust for inflation? Plus, an amendment to the fact that many people began to sit online more than offline (after covid, many even refuse to return to the office because they realized that remote work is what they need). Maybe with these amendments the growth rate will not seem so gigantic, but the governments, of course, are interested in exposing the case so that without their intervention there will be a total infection of all with gambling addiction  Grin

The Covid had increased the usage of Online gambling as compared to the offline gambling in the casino hall.Mostly the work was from home to most of the workers in the pandemic had increased the usage of time in Online gambling.The pandemic is the root cause for the increase in the crypto adoption during 2021.The increase in crypto adoption also increase the usage of Crypto based gambling sites.The government schemes also now increases the usage of cryptocurrency for now,which further increase the crypto based gambling sites.The growth of online gambling before and after pandemic was twice in value.
Certainly, you have a point. It was only when the time of pandemic that online gambling have inevitably surged high more than the rate from gambling in live casinos. Most likely because people are stuck at home and have no other means to entertain themselves than to surf online and there a lot of online gambling apps have emerged so high. And even when the pandemic was over, still online gambling continue to entertain a lot of people that they even prefer to stay at home gambling online than to find physical casinos to gamble.

If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?

If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.

Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.

Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?

Asking for a friend  Wink

Obviously there is no such thing as a bet with a 100% chance of winning, so I imagine that there is some irregularity in this that could be:
- A bug detected on the website;
- Bribing a player so that he commits a foul, an own goal, or even causes an expulsion, etc.

Thinking about these hypotheses, I would certainly not even make that bet, because first:
It's illegal... although money is never too much, you need to understand the morality of this issue and also the risks involved. Certainly my imprisonment for justice is not worth the money earned.
Consequently, because it is doing something illegal, there is a possibility that the site will detect the fraud and block all the money invested in the bet, money that will never return to the player.

If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money (not my entire investment, let alone loans). But I don't see that this is possible.
a bet with a 100% winning chance? Imagine that. As 'imaginative' as they may be, your theories offer a plethora of entertaining nonsense. Bribing players due to a bug on the website. You make an accurate appraisal of the morality and legality. Nonetheless, there's a noticeable lack of maturity. Gambling is all about excitement, risk, and uncertainty. Maybe one should stick to bonds and fixed deposits if they want guarantees?

And then there's this gem - "If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money". Wow, what faulty reasoning. Even if betting were a science, I doubt its theorem would state that anything is 100% certain. Hey, everyone enjoys a good laugh sometimes. I toast to your novel perspective on the unlikely

1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: September 03, 2023, 03:40:18 PM
This is all theory.  Spence looks like he is going to trigger the rematch clause so Crawford has to fight him next per the deal that was struck where the lower can trigger a rematch.  Worse yet if Spence wins then there could be a rubber match after that.  I think it's all just wild speculation and Crawford using his win to spark conversation about him.

For me, the rematch's output will still be the same. Crawford dominated the whole fight except for that first round so it will be just the money they are getting here n the rematch and it will not be close, maybe Spence will last until the 12th round but still losing that fight, many even speculated that he has trouble fighting southpaws.

I've read an article that Canelo has changed his tunes and open in fighting Crawford next after his Charlo. This only means that Benavidez and Bivol fights will not happen in the near future.

i believe they are checking the pulse of the boxing community. if they see a large following about crawford vs canelo-charlo winner. their respective promoters may indeed push thru this match. however, if the rematch will happen between crawford and spence, then we may see first the winner of this rematch before anything else. as the tables can turn upside down.

I don't think they need the pulse of the boxing community though, Crawford is the number 1 pound for pound no doubt, and then the winner could be in the list as well. So there is money here, specially if it will be Canelo vs Crawford, the cash cow Canelo and then the pound for pound Crawford. But if it will be Charlo vs Crawford same still, they have beef already so it will make a good story line.

And for sure during face off, I expect a lot of trash talke (Charlo vs Crawford), maybe there will be pushing or shoving, I imagine. So it make sense to make this fight and it will be one of the biggest as there is history on the line.

Charlo needs to win so he can have a big fight with Crawford, because if not, the fight won't be as interesting, considering they are both eyeing a bout with Canelo. I'm sure Crawford understands that as well; he will fight for both money and his goal to be one of the greatest. Once he wins, he will become an undisputed champion, which could make him the most popular boxer in his generation.

There's a lot at stake in a possible Crawford vs. Canelo match, and it will certainly generate a lot of money, as it's a 50/50 fight. In contrast, Charlo vs. Crawford might end up being a one-sided bout in favor of Crawford, so I'm hoping Canelo will win impressively against Charlo.

And that's why Crawford is eyeing the winner here, yeah, possible for a Charlo fight, but if Canelo defeated him, then obviously, it will be Canelo. Maybe there will be some of us who wanted Crawford vs. Charlo because they seems to really dislike each other.

Nevertheless, a Alvarez vs Crawford is going to be huge, it could be one of the biggest fight for this year. Just like the Garcia vs Davis fight, there will be a lot of hype specially for Crawford who is going to make history.

The way I see it, Canelo still holds his weight class pretty dominantly and I don't see that Charlo will be the first one to upset Canelo in his own weight class. His last fight, it was somehow a controversial one because he did not manage to knockout John Ryder but that is because Ryder's chin is so tough which gives Canelo some struggles but even that, I still think the same that Canelo will still have the last laugh and it did really happened.

Now, Charlo is taking point and making a challenge to the former pound for pound king and the current undisputed at 168 and a tough challenge is already awaiting for him. Crawford is still on the next page, so let's just talk about it later.

[....]
If Davis weren't injury-prone, I would choose him over Giannis because, in my opinion, Davis is smarter than Giannis. Based on my observations, Davis doesn't easily panic, and he loves to take the last shot. But when it comes to Giannis, he seems too predictable. I would compare Davis to LeBron, as both are gifted with great physique but aren't that clutch in crucial moments.
You give credit to Davis for loving to take the last shot on one end but you also said at the end that he isn't clutch. I don't know but that really sounds confusing to me.


Sorry about that, it was a typo error. I was using Giannis and LeBron as examples because both are very dominant big men who can defend well but aren't great shooters, especially in crucial moments. Giannis tends to get flustered when faced with double or triple teams, making it easy to beat him if opponents exploit this weakness, as the Heat did. As for LeBron, his shooting percentage seems to decrease in crucial moments, which is why he often chooses to pass the ball and let his teammates take the last shot. This way, he avoids blame in case the shot fails.

As Lebron ages, he's becoming more and more weak when it comes to crucial shots that is why we cannot see him lately making the last shot as he know himself that he's not that kind of a clutch player anymore unlike when he was much younger, like in Miami and Cleveland years where he was very dominant in almost every aspect. A package that every team in the league dreamt about.

While for Giannis, his weakness is when he gets a double team or even triple team to defend him but that will also benefit the team because it leaves the other players in the open. They just need to make sure that in every instances like that, they are able to convert it into a points.

For Tapales, I als do agree with @bisdak40, he was a nobody, not even some Filipinos who follow boxing might have known his name. It was just when he beat Murodjon Akhmadaliev, a fighter that is in line with Inoue and some says that he has a chance to beat the Monster. But Tapales out pointed him in their fight that no one really saw it.
Yeah, imagine asking a Filipino boxing fan and not knowing Marlon Tapales. I actually experienced it here with my neighbors, they don't know who Tapales is. I mean I understand, he ain't like the superstar of the Super Bantamweight division until a path to being a champion opened up for him.

Regarding the far odds of the two boxers that will clash in November, even if Naoya Inoue is the favorite he should be careful with Tapales.
He is now training in the US and I bet his preparation will be intense considering how dominant Inoue is. They have to increase the chance of him winning this fight and try to unify all the titles. Maybe that way the Filipino boxing fans will turn their eyes on him.
http://philboxing.com/news/story-167659.html
Quote
Tapales, accompanied by his esteemed trainer Ernel Fontanilla, is ready to embark on an intensive training regimen at the Knucklehead Gym in Las Vegas. Together, Tapales and Fontanilla will leave no stone unturned as they focus on honing Tapales' skills and devising a strategic game plan to overcome the formidable challenge posed by Inoue.
I am really curious what the game plan will be. It's not easy to find Inoue's weakness. Maybe they should also try playing the tape of his first fight against the Flash Nonito Donaire. Just one minor error on Inoue's will give them the opportunity to defeat him.

Not just Filipinos but I think every true boxing fans wasn't aware of Marlon Tapales until he shock us with that huge win and upset the then second best rank in the 122 lbs, Fulton obviously is the best that time.
Ain't gonna lie, I seriously don't know who Marlon Tapales was either, until he suddenly came up and defeated Akhmadaliev. After that, I got curious about him and looked him through because how did this man skated under the radar without us knowing who he was Grin

Thanks for the update, it's weird that he is going to the US though to train and then goes to Japan for the fight. I thought they will do their camp in the Philippines since it's closest to Japan. But it could be true that they don't want to leave no stone unturned and probably will work out with several good sparring partners to prepare Tapales for another upset journey.
The most probable reason I see why they chose to set up a training camp in US rather than in his own country is because of the fact that he will be outside of his comfortable zone and prepare harder for the fight without any obstruction. Regarding about this, we can already tell how serious he is in this fight and he knows his chances well that is why he doesn't want to take any chances because this fight is a one in a lifetime chance and not every Filipino boxer can participate in an undisputed fight.

If gambling has become a habit, then we cannot force someone easily to stop or refrain it from doing. Sometimes the best revenue for that is to educate that person so that he will never gamble without caution. That simply means that he should also gamble with his own budget, and if ever he’ll lose all his budget, then call it a day.

Students nowadays are most likely to be exposed in gambling since it’s only a one click away. And since we can’t do nothing about this as this is part of their growth on how they adopt this new revolution, at least we should learn to educate them instead and always give them reminders not to fall for gambling addiction. And that they should only gamble at a moderate level, by not compromising their studies.

If you are a sports lover, you will definitely find means to bet regardless of what sport it is. Sports betting is not only through skills or analysis, but it also comes with luck. That’s why even if some gamblers are not updated with the latest sports betting games, but they still try gambling through random betting because luck at some point can be quite helpful. If you think the stronger teams are mostly losing these days, then probably skills in gambling will never be prioritized but as long as there’s luck into it, gamblers will never lose their passion and hope from sports betting.

Horse racing is very popular on oldies because my uncle is still into it u til now. I think most of the forum member hanging out on gambling board are Genz or Millennials which is why they preferred the popular sports over this animal sports that is not widely available globally.

Horse racing is very hard to win since it’s betting option consists of multiple choices that more than the typical 2 option. I believe it’s very rare for a young one to have a passion on horse unless their family is involved on it or they are from the community that this sports is popular.
Probably, horse racing is not popular and is not played anymore these days because we have modern gambling games that are introduced in the gambling market. And these new games are much easier to bet or played for than betting on a horse racing which I think gamblers these days find it already old and boring. However, perhaps in some countries horse racing is still a popular game due to their yearly festivals, but here in my country, horse racing is no longer recognized or being played anymore.

That's because the people around him will immediately say bad things about gambling and will probably set real examples of people who have experienced gambling addiction. This can be done to make people aware who have started gambling so that they can stop gambling. But if someone can control himself well and can be wise in playing gambling, it is likely that he will not listen to other people and will continue to play gambling as usual and will pay more attention to his activities properly.

Therefore, someone will choose the right person to tell about gambling, because everyone has their own views about gambling, and in my opinion, if someone plays gambling in a good and wise way, in my opinion he is a professional gambler because he has previously know how to gamble.
And what I know about professional gamblers is that they bet carefully and play calmly and relaxed so that they can control themselves when gambling and they think the move is right and don't need anyone's advice.

That will be the smartest move rather than keeping it a secret to yourself and risk getting addicted without anyone knowing. Aside from that, that someone will know if you already need some help without you telling them and we certainly don't need to share it along with a large group because in most instances, they will just share it without thinking twice. In the first place, we should be aware also about our spending habits so that we won't lose the funds that we don't intend to lose.

It's really interesting, I've never seen a topic on here talking about the history of gambling and to be honest it's always good to know exactly how gambling started in our world since we are into gambling.

I think there's still a part of the world that has known about gambling for many years and uses other valuables stuffs not necessarily money but also others like precious stones or even animals like sheep or goats.
Since we are gamblers, at least we should be aware about how gambling started and how were gambling in the ancient times. But because of modern technology, gambling scenarios started to change. Before, betting using precious stones and animals were actually observed but if ever these type of gambling still exist these days, probably those were the unmodernized countries that were not completely affected with modern technology.

Gambling addicts will definitely find ways to satisfy their gambling urge, even though with the emergence of this social tournaments. However, there is also possibility that those who want to take part on this tournament will be setting aside his gambling expenses, thus saving for a while and if lucky enough, he will get decent profits from participating. But still, since this is part of gambling, their addiction will always be there. It’s just that they spend more of their time and effort, without personal money involved. But I think if social tournaments will be prolong, probably there will be participation fee later on.

Warriors were talked about because of this, he could have the ball, go in, and dish out to Klay or Curry and that would be amazing for them, and teams wouldn't be able to collapse on Curry, since Giannis would be able to actually play good too, so everyone would have to try to stop him, if not then he will score, if they do then he will pass out to greatest shooting duo ever. Not saying that trade will happen, of course it won't but at least I can say that would be a better fit.
Like you, I also thought of that thing as well, but like you said already, him going to the Warriors is almost impossible because they don't have the assets needed to impress the Bucks front office. Giannis' worth is at least an all-star, a good role player, and at least 5 first round picks, and the Warriors don't have that. Which team has the highest chance of getting him? Thunder, Spurs, and the Knicks are the best choice since they have all the assets. This is just basing on one of the videos that I watched on Youtube a few hours ago.

Obtaining Giannis is really not that easy to make because he is an expensive asset which means that the Bucks will not certainly send him off with just a nickel, not without a few good trade package to make with so that the team can still recover after Giannis leaves the team. But that is if Giannis will also like the teams that got the right assets to swap.

In his words, we can say that he will only go to a team that have some chances to play at the championship rounds as he is not wasting his team in a team that doesn't even stand a chance in the qualifies and just because they have the means doesn't mean that they can get Giannis. If it comes to that, I won't be surprised if he will take down another contract from the Bucks so that he will end in the free agency so that the teams like the Warriors and other top teams can get him with just millions of dollars without giving some trades to any team.
