1  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and wealth is Energy know this first on: Today at 12:56:27 PM
To me, i can only consider myself being wealthy when i know i can spend everything i have in my account in a day and it gets replenished in less than 24 hours.

Is that even possible lol

People have acquired numerous amount of money in their accounts as a result of months maybe even years of accumulation. Even if someone earns a million for every hour, how much is just in your accounts that you can spend all of it and replace it in a day?
Well it's probably that he had a lot of money from businesses so that his wallet it being replenish by the day as money comes in. But his business should be big enough, so your guess is as good as mind as what businesses could give you that wealth. But for me, you really have to work to earn money in our lifetime. Might be better to understand the concept of money itself and that is not bad and it is abundant and everyone can earn it if they shift their mind to be always positive that money is coming in our way effortlessly thru your business, investments or even unexpected money coming from gambling. Also, not sure if others will agree, but there could also be element of luck for some individuals to be at the right time and make a lot of money, just saying.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buy a Bonus VS playing Slot on normal Spin - which do you prefer? on: Today at 12:12:19 PM
So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?

Depends on several things if you ask me:
1. My starting bankroll: it is crucial part when we talk about comparison between bonus buy or normal spins because with small bankroll we may not even able to purchase 1 bonus.
In my case, I will look for the games that I want to play and deposit the money enough to get my the buy bonus and see how my luck is.

2, The game: there are some games where I prefer to play with normal spin than bonus buy but there are also some games that I prefer to use bonus buy than normal spin.
Love to test it with high volatility games and it might give us something.

3. Feeling; it is hard to explain about this but sometime what I do is based on my feeling when playing the game.
Right, I think for slot players, sometimes we listen to our gut feeling and hunch, whether to used the buy bonus or not. Hard to explain but for sure, slot players knows this feeling and we go by it.

Which one is more profitable? No one is more profitable than the other one, it is all about luck based game.
Sometime normal spins can give us better result but at the other time bonus buy can give better result depending on our luck ofc.
We really don't have the answer as what is profitable as we all know that slot are luck based games.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: Today at 11:55:46 AM
I don't know about it, but if terms of achievement I doubt that he will become the next Manny Pacquiao, there are many similarities, but I'm not seeing him conquering the 147 lbs which is the creme of the crop so to speak of the boxing world. Most likely he will go as high as 126-130 lbs and after that he will have a hard time going up in weight classes.

Yes, he can fill Tokyo dome and other arena's in Japan, but still the big measurement for a boxer to become great or at least be recognized in the US. A good read:

https://www.boxingscene.com/naoya-inoue-us-exposure-validate-his-greatness--182798

People judge based on the current achievement of Inoue and that if he will continue to move up in weight, he will still dominate due to his quickness and the power of his punches. Though it's really hard to surpass the achievement of Pacman who is the only 8th division world champion, but let's see, Inoue for sure has a lot of time to make it happen, or at least try to achieve it.
Yes, I also would like to think the Inoue can at least go as close to Manny when going up in weight. But it seems their strategy is very different. Inoue want's to unify belts and then defend it. But in Manny's case, as far as I know, he will go up in weight class immediately except maybe in the 135 lbs and fight the next easiest or weakest champion that they can find. A very intelligent and careful match making by Bob Arum. And maybe another comparison is that both are under Uncle Bob and so he knows and have the blue print already. But Inoue chooses not to do that at this point and may want to stay at 122 lbs for the time being and clean up the division.

It's getting personal now between Oscar DeLa Hoya and Canelo Alvarez the two almost come to a blow after Oscar disrespected Canelo for telling people it was The Golden Boy Promotion that he headed that created Canelo and telling everybody about Canelo's two failed doping tests.

Check the video here this has become ugly and we will see more thrash talks and disrespecting words before and after the fight

Canelo and Oscar De La Hoya separated at a press conference

Oscar is right that Canelo became a massive star under the Golden Boy banner, but Canelo was also carrying Golden Boy for many years when most of their best fighters left and Canelo was their only cash cow. It was a mutually beneficial situation, even though both sides are too proud to admit that and just want to take all the credit for themselves. They are putting their egos ahead of acting like professionals. Instead of promoting this fight they are more interested in trying to discredit each other and it’s not a very good look. Munguia is just a background actor in this whole drama.
Yes, we can't deny that fact, it's not an opinion, Oscar was the one who brought Canelo in the US to fight Floyd and that was the first time that the Americans fight have seen a Mexican that looks white, Lol. But I think Oscar just want to hype this fight though, he is a businessman after all and for sure he had move forward already and now have Ryan Garcia in him to become the next superstar. And probably Oscar is talking a page from Ryan's antic in public to draw more casual fans to watch this very important fight this weekends for non Mexicans.
5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF Responsible for Recent Bear on: Today at 10:42:19 AM
Hong Kong's total ETFs market is worth about $50 billion, which is very small compared to the US ETFs market, which is estimated at slightly less than $9 trillion. The amount of money and the number of investors in HK therefore could not have any significant impact on the price of BTC, with the fact that mainland Chinese cannot invest in that ETF.

The story was sold for weeks as "the next big thing", and realistically few mentioned that Hong Kong and China are not the same thing when it comes to investing really large amounts of money in anything. Maybe that's why China allowed such an ETF to be approved, because interest in it will probably be quite low, and money control will still be at a high level.
True, there is no connection at all, it's just a coincidence that when Hong Kong has it's first trading day, it's not enough to push the market and there are news about the Feds that coincides with it and so the negative news = price going down. The question is, it this going to be worrisome for us as we are expecting that the price is going to go up because of halving? Nah, for experience investors, they might see this a normal movement. And we have seen this in the past that after the halving, their is no immediate effect and seems that the price will go down and then it will settle down in a straight line for quite sometime before the prices or investors started to pour their money to cause the price to go on a parabolic rise later before the end of the year.

Someone betted on boxing and lost the game but the gambler out of grieve of his lost is trying to ease his emotion Said, It is okay as it is for at least the guy I betted on made me lost the game but had unfortunate for him too to had taken beaten of his life.
Nah, just like in any other sports that we bet and lost, at least we find some solace so that we won't feel that bad having lost our bet on that boxer. And if you look at it, even if the boxer has lost, he will be being paid by huge some of money. And the gambler just simply looking for something to ease the pain for sure and blame everyone around him.

I think such is and aggressive and irresponsible gambler who gambles on the peak of what he can not afford to loose.
Most likely he can't take that L, perhaps he can't afford to lose that money and that is something that we should avoid because again, there will be excuses and pointing finger, but the blame should be on the gambler.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 01, 2024, 10:48:12 AM
Jamal Murray is definitely what made Nuggets win this easily, because we are talking about someone who made Jokic 2 time MVP as well. How? Well simply enough, Jokic can't be a great Center if he had no help at all, he needs some help to be who he is, like we all know him as a great passer right? Who could he pass to if he had terrible teammates? His teammates missing all their shots would make him not be the MVP, but when there are other threats like Murray who plays like this, he ends up getting better looks as well.

Murray definitely played amazingly and I believe that he is going to end up being the Kobe to Jokics Shaq in the future. We are going to see people start talking about Murray like the star he is, but it may take some time because all eyes are on Jokic right now.

Nah, Jokic is just simply a great player for a center position, even without Murray on the team the opposing team will have a hard time containing Jokic, thus making his teammates create more open shot opportunities. But I won't discredit on what Murray have done to this team. He is a great player on his own craft as well. In fact I was quite amazed by how he was able to get a good 4th quarter and make a game winner in game 2 despite of the bad shooting night.
Nevertheless, I can say this game between the Lakers and the Nuggets are really close. Though it might be unnoticeably different when you see the series standings, but in each game they play, the game are always close even if the Lakers have always lead at the half and sometimes a solid double digit, but the Nuggets always managed to close that gap.
It's really kind of weird for the Lakers to be losing against the Nuggets 4-1 when they always have the lead at the half and not only that, they always have a solid double digit lead at some point of the game and then the Nuggets will erase that deficit in the 4th quarter easily.
But still though, there are arguments that Murray was a total compliment with Jokic. Remember when Murray was out because of ACL if I'm not mistaken? The Nuggets didn't go any good that season. But after that when Murray was 100% they become NBA champion and for sure Jokic will love them instead of him winning MVP and then not winning a trophy. Now he had MVP + NBA champion and he has to take Murray for that. And the number 1 player that he has assists more in terms of numbers? It is Jamal Murray. So no doubt that the career of Jokic is not going to prospect with the Nuggets without his second guy, like many other great duo in history, MJ+ Pippen, Kobe and Shaq.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo Alvarez - Jaime Munguia May 4 Super Middleweight Championship on: May 01, 2024, 10:16:19 AM


I hope robbery in this sports is a thing in the past already. We have social media channels, video streaming platforms and blow by blow accounts of sports commentators and bloggers -  to know the real happenings in the fight, but unfortunately, this sports still rely on judges' score cards and what the referee decides inside the ring. Let us see if this fight will go the distance and if Canelo can justify the fact that he is the heavy favourite here.

There are still unfair judging and bias judges just the recent Haney - Garcia is one big example how can De Luca scored the fight even at 112 when obviously between the two its Haney that is battered by those strong punches, yes he can score but Ryan's punches makes a difference.

Canelo is fully aware of that which is why he make sure to seriously hurt or knock out his opponents he doesn't want to rely on the judges anymore, even though Canelo is the strong favorite to win the match and many are betting on him if Munguia shows a strong showing the judges and the refs should show fairness, the boxing community are watching.

Canelo is the A-side here and in the past he was always the benefactor when it comes to shady judging. Even against Mayweather where the American clearly outboxed the young Canelo, it was only a majority decision. The same thing against Bivol where all judges had it 7-5 which was very shocking because Canelo lost all rounds when it comes to jabs and power punches being landed. One more round for Canelo and it would've been a draw. GGG was the worst victim, I am too confident Canelo lost that first fight. One judge only gave GGG 2 rounds.

So in this fight, I am hoping for Mungia to be aggressive because all close rounds will given to Canelo and some of his rounds might be stolen by the judges as well.
Yeah, we wouldn't forget about the Bivol fight, it should be UD as well, same with the first GGG fight that he should be the winner of the first fight. So Canelo has precedence with this gifts from the judges and so Munguia or at least his camp will tell him to be aggressive specially in the last minute or so of the fight as the judges might give Canelo the score if it is going to be a close one. Hopefully, he will go for the impossible, knocking Canelo out in his career. It will be a long shot, but I think every boxer is vulnerable to get knockout if the timing is perfect and a shot that he wasn't expecting at all. Canelo still a big crowd favorite as far as betting goes.

When you want to invest in Bitcoin don't because people is investing in Bitcoin and you invest, I prefer taking my time to make a research before I invest on Bitcoin, Bitcoin invest is good but when you don't take your time to invest in Bitcoin then you will invest wrongly, the first time I invested I did not follow anyone step rather I do follow the research I made before I invest, some persons does not control emotions before they invest they follow a side news to invest on Bitcoin and that is why some of them do experience hard luck for their invest, in summary invest when you want to invest, don't follow the crowd but follow your instinct
Yeah, but what do you need to research? I mean it's all over the media, it has it's historical past and we see it as the prime mover and in it's young data, you can see that after the halving, price goes on a parabolic rise and then we see it hitting new all time high. And if you will follow the crowd then maybe you will see some saying that altcoins are also a good investment, even better than Bitcoin because it's gives you a higher return. It might be true, but it's not that easy to find a altcoin that will give you that so called x100 returns in the future. Perhaps what you hear in the beginning about Bitcoin is that it's a "get rich quick" scheme, and you fall for that hype or be influence by others that you think it's going to be very easy sail, which is not.

Upsets do happen all the time in boxing. But in this match, I believe, Canelo can still pull this off. Either KO or UD. But hopefully, both are really prepared for this fight so we can see a toe-to-toe fight. This may lack drama and fuzz, but if they will give us an entertaining fight, people will talk. For now, the odds is surely favouring Canelo. But if you believe there will be an upset, you can place bet on Munguia and get good profits if ever he can beat Canelo.
For sure both fighters are prepared enough for this fight cause this is the best fight for both of them cause we are all know that once canelo was beaten then Jaime munguia will be the star but one thing for sure canelo won't let that happen he will take good care of this every move and take over his possible open  to avoid losses.  We are all know the capability of Jaime he has a good fighter that can knock his opponent know once his opponent have a open spot. Anyways this fight is good to watch and put our bet in our favorite fighter.

Canelo will just catch Munguia's hand and counter to KO him. It could happen in around 3-5th rounds and if Canelo couldn't do this it may still be UD.
There are good bouts in this fight card even without Ennis especially here the presence of Mario Barrios in the comain event.

I won't be betting on this fight though but whoever is going to be robbed by the referee and the judges, I'd be rooting for him.  


I hope robbery in this sports is a thing in the past already. We have social media channels, video streaming platforms and blow by blow accounts of sports commentators and bloggers -  to know the real happenings in the fight, but unfortunately, this sports still rely on judges' score cards and what the referee decides inside the ring. Let us see if this fight will go the distance and if Canelo can justify the fact that he is the heavy favourite here.
There could still be robbery though, as everything is based on the eye account of every judges. Just like in the recent fight of Garcia vs Haney, there was one judge who score the fight a draw when it's obvious that Garcia is dominating and with a 3 knockdown that he scored he could at least be 3 points ahead on judges scorecard. And as far as referee goes, this two will have to approved who are going to officiate if I'm not mistaken. But I don't think there will be robbery of some sorts here, as you have said, all eyes are watching this fight and this referees doesn't want to screw it.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull has Started But Not Yet ATH. on: April 30, 2024, 09:28:01 AM
Bitcoin bull run has obviously started and we're still in it's early stage, we're looking at a massive bull run in this season because of the Bitcoin ETF that has propelled price to surge, hopefully we're going to see a new ATH at a peaked price of $200k. For the first we have already withnessed a new ATH before halving, this is majorly because of the ETF approval, therefore the previous halving patterns didn't apply where new ATH happens after halving. It's not late to continue accumulating Bitcoin, because we're going to see a massive ROI before bear run starts.

People think that by the time of halving they will see the Bitcoin price skyrocket and some of them are depressed because of that. It is just normal, ATH will happen again and again over months and maybe years but it will end by happening like it used to do.
$200k might happen in the future but I doubt it will be the near one, I might say maybe next two or four years from now? This year passing $100k will be just great.
Previous historical logs tells us that it will not be immediate to see the effect of the halving. And if you have seen in the last 24 hours, we are again in the crucial are of $62k, there could be some negative news that affected the price again though. Nevertheless, we need to look long term, or at least at the end of the month and say that indeed halving has been the catalyst as the price could be around $80k++ in December, or for the best part, we might see 6 digits already. So just relax and have patience, we know the market is very volatile, but as per history, the impact of the halving is not felt immediately and it will take months. So just continue to accumulate, nothing beats having Bitcoin in our wallet when the price hits $100k or more in this bull run.

^^ Yes, he had us with his antics and his posts but deep inside, his circles is knows that he is just playing the crowd and he wanted us to see that he is mentally unstable so that everyone will doubt him including Devin Haney. And for sure, not only is Ryan who bet on him, perhaps his closest friends has put a lot of money on the line for him and guess what it did paid off with that huge odds stack against him and yes we wouldn't be surprised to see him not partying with all of his friends because they have wont a lot of money. For his next fight, it should be still money for him, not sure if Pitbull Cruz can give him that audience as he will be the one to carry the promotion again and bring fight fans on the sit and watch it live.

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

Very hard if I'm in this situation, but I would have to man up and tell my parents what had happen and ask for forgiveness and hope that they will pardoned me, which likely I think any parents will do specially if they know that their kids is not like this before. And in term, I will really go away from gambling for good and I will not waste this chances that my parents give me. Not everyday that you will here this kind of situations though and it's really hard to get out of it. And try everything to amend your relationships with your parents and show that you are still deserving of their trust.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Simple prediction: 2024 bitcoin at 200.000 dollars on: April 27, 2024, 10:02:16 AM
Not this year, I do not think so. I get that some people may want something like this, and that could be reasonable if you "want" it, but that would be way too much increase. We are talking about more than x3 in less than a year, we have about what 7 or so months left? Tripling the money in 7 months makes no sense at all if you ask me and that is not going to happen.

I personally believe that we are going to see maybe 100k if we are lucky and that's about it, I do not see that the price would be more than that. This is of course my speculation and my prediction, I could be wrong and if I am wrong and the price goes to 200k then I would be much richer so I do hope that I am wrong on this one, but I fear that unfortunately I am not wrong on this one and we won't go up that much.
I also think so, although Bitcoin price movements have been quite positive in the last few months with continued increases, but I don't think this year there will be a significant increase to reach 200k.

The price of 100k has been waiting for quite a long time and many people believe that it will happen at the next ATH after we saw the ATH in 2021, but everything happened not as predicted this year, the increase that occurred made a new ATH, although after that it was corrected again It's small that happens but for 100k this year I think it's more realistic.
It was the target last bull run, and it was magnified by a certain prediction modelling that we will hit $100k in 2021. Unfortunately it didn't went well and that model was invalidated already. Now, we are in another bull run and maybe this is the right time that we can predict that indeed a 6 digit price is about to be reach. We have positive news like the Spot Bitcoin ETF being approved that pushes the price to $73k, a new all time high but it is pre-halving. But let's see how big this bull run is, the halving activity is already completed, price is above $60k++ and we have the next months to reach $100k. $200k though is too big for this bull run in my opinion, not impossible but it will take billions of money to flow into our market.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico. on: April 27, 2024, 09:00:30 AM
I saw Matias's highlight on YouTube recently he is one of the boxers I want to watch right now, thankfully he has this upcoming fight and we can expect that it will be another exciting match. Matias might be underrated, but his skills and determination to become a known world champion are there, and the guy is just wrecking his opponent, making them quit after fighting him. I wonder why he is still unknown? he needs some exposure in the West or the Middle East or his talent will be wasted and he won't get as much money as he can with it. need a reliable promoter to promote him.
Most of the boxers that are popular are undefeatd, he had one loss against Petros Ananyan, so that's a negative in his record. Maybe the time will come if he continue winning, he'll be able to have a big fight with the popular champion in the industry and win, then that will be a big break for his career.

In the current division he is at being a champion, there are other champions that are popular than him, if he'll able to unify the belt and he succeed, then that's it. Names like Teofimo Lopez, Rolando Romero, and Devin Haney... I think he could challenge them.
Romero and Haney already lost though, it's not Pitbull Cruz, although Haney retained his WBC belt because Ryan Garcia didn't meet the weight requirement of 140 lbs. But as far as Matias, yeah, he has power in both hands but he still hasn't break into the American fans. But maybe this fight might propel him if ever he wins and this fight like goes into a war like Fundora and Tszyu and then Matias win? I think his name might be in the radar of Teo for unification fight. Teo though is the lineal champion at 140 lbs, and for me he will be the A-side whoever he faces any other champions in this division including Matias.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 27, 2024, 08:40:44 AM
Sadly I am not a huge boxing expert, but those 1-2kg extra make so much different when fighting a professional boxer? If a person is 10+ heavier, than I know how his punches feel and feel difference in strength. But they are professionals, the must know how to turn other boxers difference compared to you into your advantage. Devin must knew how to turn those extra 3.2lb into advantage for him. Heavier opponents always is slower and looses stamina faster. He must have adopted to "heavier version Garcia" during the fight. Instead he ate Garcias left hook after just one minute of the fight.
But it seems that Haney is the heavier in the fight? So I guess there excuse that Ryan is heavier excuse is not true at all, Ryan was really that good and Haney was not able to adjust in that fight. They were caught by surprised by the power of that left hook, although I will say that Haney's father should expect that. Haney admitted that they slept on Ryan's power. So they understand him thinking that they can just bully him. And in this lost, it just shows maybe that Haney didn't win the fight against Loma as well. If Loma had the power then maybe he can also put Haney in the canvass.

Anyone here this news?

Don't worry,i'm not going to charge you,it's all from the heart
You don't have to describe your problems here,because this conversation is supposed to be confidential

Why write you in PM, just post your experience and how you get over with it in this community simply as that. And what makes you an "expect" or this subject though? I guess it's better to go and call numbers being listed from professionals if you really wanted to talk to someone, just your about trading and crypto.

And if someone here needs help, then they will simply go and create a topic for themselves, anyone here is anonymous and confidential instead of just sending you PM.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 26, 2024, 12:28:49 PM

It's all over for the Lakers now. Thing could've been different if they steal that game 2 from the Nuggets home court. Game 3 was actually the same story as game 2, only that the Nuggets played a better 3rd quarter so they were able to flip the lead on their advantage easily as the Lakers' offense once again are lacking. They started strong but couldn't sustain it and totally lost in 2nd half, especially in the 4th quarter. They gave up too early then tried to make a small come back during the dying seconds.

As expected, they can't handle the Nuggets since those guys how exactly they execute great games to counter whatever the Lakers have prepared. They clearly showed in these last 3 games that the span between their skills right now is miles away. there's no way the Lakers can win this one and they could be swept again this year. They just need to win a game that's all because nothing can be more shameful than getting swept by the same opponent two years in a row but the good thing is, they were swept by the champion last year.
Their team is not build to beat the Nuggets, specially they don't have anyone to guard Jokic. Rui is too small and AD will get into foul trouble. And then they have others to deal with like Jamal Murray, although Vincent is doing good defensively, it's not enough. Porter Jr, despite his issues with his brothers are shooting very well in this series and no one can stop him at that position as well. And the veteran Aaron Gordon, good at defending Lebron in the wings and then he also has the basketball IQ to cut when Jokic is double team for easy two. To be fair, any team in the West right now might have a difficult time dealing with the Nuggets offensive, led by Jokic. So probably the Lakers will need another overhaul, just like what they did after winning a championship. Maybe Austin Reaves is the only player that I think will remain with AD and Lebron. D'Lo 0 points in a must-win game is unacceptable unless he comes back in game 4 with a big offensive flow and help the team win.

Finally, Devin made an official announcement after the beating he wants a rematch at an agreed weight but
he is making excuses about the additional weight when in fact he agreed and bet and claimed the $1.6 million its his fault that he agreed to proceed even if Ryan is overweight.
Champions don't make excuses, I hope he gets better the next opponent is already announced so he should prepare for Sandor Martin.

Agreed. However, I am beginning to speculate that the bet on their weight cut might be a trick for Devin Haney to accept and continue the fight if King Ry was overweight hehehehe. I reckon after the tricks that was done to King Ry by the rehydration clause enforcer Tank Davis, King Ry has learned that the war begins before they fight in the boxing ring. I am very much excited for this new version of King Ry and his next fight! I wish this will be against Tank on catchweight.
Or it could backfire on Ryan Garcia moving forward? I mean his future opponents know his trick now and so they won't just ride on the speculations that he is crazy and not trying or partying before the fight because this is want Ryan wanted to portray. And so we can see that is very effective as Bill and Devin admitted that they have been trick here. So whoever Ryan's next opponent will be, he will have to know before hand that this is a psyche war that Ryan and everything is for publicity stunt and so his opponents should focus on the fight not on Ryan social media posts or what he tries to show in public.
