A transaction of 1432.92 btc happened today https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1E6nViR5Xv1wyNXg87SamvtLJ5TyXuksLC .

The odd thing about this address is it ( almost ) contains block rewards from early days , specifically first reward is from block #2718 which is less than a month since launch . Only 2 transactions are not block rewards , a 0.01 btc and a 32.91 btc . All the other are coinbase rewards of 50 btc .

Did satoshi came back to spend his coins ? A very early miner or an early OTC buyer decided to take profits ?

Time will tell . I'll try to dig more to see if i can find anything . Any opinions or findings are appreciated .

Not really sure what to think about it, I mean why is people engrossed is an old address has moved? And then we will speculated if it is Satoshi where in fact we know that he is not coming back?

Maybe someone hack that bitcoin address, or early adopters find his private keys or seed phrase or someone wanted to move his coins to a another wallet. So for me doesn't make sense to dig on those old address that's why I don't follow those accounts that publish it because maybe the entities has some bad intentions in the first place, create FUD.
1082  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time to Hodl or buy the Dip? on: June 08, 2023, 05:39:04 PM
When the market is red like it is now then the best thing is to hold, if we have a long term profit vision then when a dip is an opportunity to buy more, an increase in bitcoin will definitely occur in the near future, so don't ever regret not being able to take advantage of the right moment to buy.

In fact, there's not much time left before bitcoin is halved, so the long-awaited rise of bitcoin and the alt-season is about to begin. Yes, some price decline is still possible in the near future, but I don't think it will be significant. So right now the most optimal strategy is HODL

We still have less than a year though before the halving, not much time, but I still believed that if you start today and do DCA and accumulate sats till the halving, you can see make a lot of money and profit from it.

And as what the majority says, do both, buy when the price is down, or at least do DCA and then just HODL'ed and wait for the next bull run. I know that its tough to do that, but that's how we make money here. Bitcoin market is not a get rich quick scheme, it also entails alot of psychology and good judgement to be a successful investor here.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: June 08, 2023, 05:21:27 PM

Do you even think that people have that time to waste on going through their whole process in survey, the only captivation that may draw the interest of gamblers to enroll on this is if there's a attached bonus given on every completed stage of surveys made, bit if nothing aside giving them reward they may not give it a positive take in going through the whole process and the funny part of it all is that it will now be a continuous one from time to time.


A bonus for taking surveys is a good thing, but you still need to understand how honest the answers will be, otherwise the information obtained in the survey will have no value. The surveys themselves, of course, are necessary to build an optimal casino development model.

Yes, this is also what I thought, even if they put all their customers to answer surveys, if they are not willing to cooperate then the numbers that this casinos are going to get will not capture the right sentiments.

So I also doubt that this is going to be effective specially for online casinos, both fiat and crypto based bookies. They can do this survey just to comply with the law though. But I don't see it as a effective to draw out which is addicted already and which is not because the answers will be sketchy.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: June 08, 2023, 04:52:53 PM
Anyways, several days ago I keep seeing from different sources that Donaire-Santiago for the WBC strap is already a go this coming July 15th. Hopefully, the venue is not in Mexico which would be advantageous to Santiago.

That's a valid point. If the fight takes place in Mexico, it's possible that the judges' decision could have an impact on the outcome. However, given that most of Donaire's wins have been through knockouts that advantage of Santiago will only be useless if this fight will end in Knock out.

Yeah, same here, I don't like to see Donaire travel to Mexico and fight Santiago in his backyard. Donaire should be the A-side here, and his team shouldn't allow Santiago to dictate the terms. And Santiago I would say is not that big Mexican boxer though, so doesn't make sense to held the fight in Mexico. And we have heard news that even Canelo didn't do well as far as PPV numbers with his fight with Ryder in Mexico. Hopefully if the Richard Schaefer ties with Daniel Kinahan is not the obstacles in this fight. Because if it did, then it might really give Donaire a big problem in the US (although I personally think the Schaefer is no way or form involved with the Mafia).
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 08, 2023, 12:08:43 PM
I saw this online and thought maybe i should bring on to bitcointalk for discussion.

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?

Of course, it's human nature to be remorseful after you play, specially if you are losing more than you can afford. So it's hard to have that kind of emotion, that's why we said that we should be playing the money that we can afford to lose without any attachments and we can sleep after that and then go back to our normal lives.

But if it persists on the following days, then something might not be right for the individual. Maybe the money he lost is supposedly spend on something very important. And due to the person's addiction, he didn't think about it until it's too late and that is the sign that the individual might become a gambling addict.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll management discussion on: June 07, 2023, 04:11:48 PM
What percentage of your bankroll are using as your bet size. I read an article online before that 1% to 3% is the ideal for low risk gambling while 4% to 5% for aggressive gambling. I use the aggressive type bankroll management on most of my game because I’m always bored playing with minimum bets or low percentage of my bankroll because I knew that house edge will kill me long term.

Are using a fixed percentage on your bets or you are just betting random amount? Also do you deposit your total bankroll and just withdraw if you are on target profit or stop loss or you are just depositing exact amount of money for your gambling without extra.

During the height of my addiction, let's say on the slots machine, I'll always do max bet whenever I can. So I don't look at the the percentage, as long as the money or the capital is good enough for me to run and bet on max, then I will do it until the money was swept under me, or I got lucky and win big and continue on my high roller style.

However now? nah, yeah maybe just 1%-3%, I'm no longer that attach or look for big wins, most of the time I just played slots with small bankroll and just to have some fun. And if the money is lost, then I'll just sleep over and try to play if I feel like to.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 05, 2023, 09:35:46 AM

Rematch? Possible! But if Fulton would see the difference in power and technicality then i do highly doubt that he would really be asking for one.

He is currently in the position of being the champion, so if he were to ask for a rematch in case of a loss, I believe Inoue would grant it. However, you are right that he may not ask for a rematch if he experiences the power of Inoue, as he would be fortunate to last all 12 rounds if he loses the fight. Therefore, it is more likely that a rematch would only happen if Inoue were to request it, as Fulton would be confident since he has already beaten Inoue.

Perhaps, for now, let's not discuss the rematch and instead focus on how the fight unfolds.

If it proves to be competitive, then a rematch becomes highly possible.

As others say, it depends on the outcome of the first fight this July. Of course, initially Fulton doesn't want a rematch, but as you have said, if he felt the power of Inoue or this is just a one side beating, then there will be no rematch I reckon.

Inoue though has a lot in this fight, his undefeated record, his pound for pound status and of course, he doesn't want his fans to be down as this fight is going to be in Japan. For Fulton, a opportunity of a lifetime to face the Monster and him thinking that he could be the first man to stop Naoya or even with by a knockout will be that impressive.

Yeah, both have reasons to excel with their performances,

Inoue, for me, got the pressure here as he will be going to perform in front of his own fans something he really needs to
bring everything to win, the culture of each Japanese fighters are in stake here.

While on the other side, Fulton will defend his title and will try to be the first man to beat Inoue,

I like both to perform just like there's nothing left for them and if possible, to make a good solid exchange of punches.

Yeah, I think both knows what is at stake right now, Inoue's moving up to a new weight class and everyone is expecting that he will have the same destructive pattern he did while he was in the bantamweight division, just knocking everyone out with his power and yet he is still not on is prime and most likely the timing is perfect for him to move up in weight and look for another belt.

On the other hand, Fulton is very much confident that this is territory and that he is the alpha of this division having had those 2 belts and giving us a good fight with Brandon Figueroa. He is so confident that he will willing to travel to Inoue's hometown and try to beat him.
With Naoya Inoue's current situation, there is a huge chance that super-bantamweight will be his natural weight class thus preserving his speed and power or even much stronger than what he showed because of the fact. Although, there is also this factor that even Inoue himself is not that sure that he can penetrate through this bout with Fulton because in the first place, it is not his weight class, and he is just a beginner after all.

Yes, that is a big possibility, this could have been his natural and walking weight so it's good on their part to really get up in weight and then have a scheduled fight with one of the champions in this division. Nevertheless, maybe in the next couple of years he could outgrown 122 lbs as well.

But for the meantime, we should be enjoying the greatness of Naoya Inoue. This might be his biggest test as he is climbing up in weight. If he shows his power and as he is still about to hit his prime then there is a good chance that he could unify this weight class and this will be his second time to do that. And it's hard to accomplished that in the 4 belt weight era.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 05, 2023, 06:45:44 AM
The ball is on the side of Canelo now, there are two boxers that are waiting for him, Bivol and Benavidez. Very hard to see how Canelo though will beat both of this because of his recent performance against John Ryder, he wasn't able to knock down or knock out the Brits, causing fans to think that Canelo might be started on a decline.

So we will see who he favors, definitely he is going to chase for the money here, just a matter of time who will offer the biggest. Personally, David Benavidez might be a perfect fight for Canelo, very young and aggressive fighter and maybe Canelo has one fight inside of him to show his greatness and that might be the young Benavidez.
I think John Ryder was just a tough guy. His face and body were wrecked by Canelo without a doubt but he stayed standing until the end of the fight. That's a big heart for boxing and he proved they cannot just be knocked down that easily. There was a time he was wobbly in that fight but he recovered fast enough to avoid a knockdown.
About Canelo's performance, I think he is doing good, but not great, that left-hand injury must've affected him mentally as he is throwing it only for jabs and not for haymakers. If he ever fights a strong boxer like Bivol who uses his length and jabs, Canelo will be in a bad position. He won against Ryder because he didn't use jabs frequently and he started slow, Canelo took advantage of that and launch his attacks.
They should first check if he can throw big punches using his left before they put him in a fully lighted boxing ring again.

That's one possibility that's why they cherry pick John Ryder for that reason, they might have thought that Ryder will be a easy opponent for Canelo that he can steam rolled the Brits and knockout him out in front of his home crowd.

But Ryder doesn't want none of that, he still stand up despite times wherein Canelo is going to finished him. The best news is that he also gave Canelo all he can handle and that's why there are fans or boxing analysts who think that Canelo is started to decline. But maybe his hand hasn't fully healed or it might have a big effect on him mentally.

It was a sad day Daniel Nicolas a Filipino Boxer was defeated in a dominating fashion Kenji Fujita was really fast in his feat you can see who is more experience and who is dominating the fight Daniel Nicolas could have given Fujita some punches but what I see is if Nicolas could get 1 punch but Fujita will surely give Nicolas multiple punches in exchange, you can really see the level of the Japanese boxer to the Filipino boxer the fight was very onesided,

I guess the Japanese is really superior and didn't give Daniel Nicolas a chance to win in this fight. Anyhow, probably just one of those fights that it's hard to win for the Filipino as he lacks the tools to defeat the Japanese.



Lately though, there are a lot of good women's boxing, like Claressa here, who keep all her belt and intact for now.

Not sure though why it is being hated for now, maybe boxing pundits is really into men trying to out box each other and wanted to see a knockout unlike in women's boxing as we seldom see a knockout.

1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: June 04, 2023, 08:02:44 PM
Wasn't really a wise choice because that statement he released will really make his image bad and could potentially ruin his career if his next few fights will sell much lower compared to what they had in Haney vs Loma fight where they only had below 200k PPV buys. What is the use of being a champion if organizers and promoters are already not making that much money out of him, sooner or later, he will be thrown under the bus if he will not rectify his moves and be cautious about the words.
And that is something Haney does not seem to understand, judges often can give a close victory to a new promising boxer over a veteran as they see in them the ability to make a lot of money, and there is little doubt promoters are in it as well, so even if we cannot deny Haney is a good boxer it seems to me he was given the win over Lomachenko for similar reasons, however if he damages his image to the point promoters cannot make money out of his fights then he should not be surprised if he is on the receiving end of a similar maneuver.
If Devin Haney will commit the same mistakes again and will not think twice before spitting some nonsense yet spicy words, he might leave Bob Arum with no other choice but to proceed with another future star and will start capitalizing on him rather than Haney because Bob Arum himself doesn't want controversies or be connected to an issue that his own boxer has started.

Haney should understand his situation fully because he is starting to be a liability to Top Rank and with his plans nowadays, he might get some unwanted struggle in signing a new contract with another promotion if he will not change his antics.

And most likely it will be Shakur Stevenson, Arum is building up this kid to the point that we want to see him fight Haney or even Loma at this point. However, Haney might go and shift to Match room so the potential fight might be shelved for a while.

So most likely it will be Stevenson vs Loma, maybe for a title eliminator if ever Haney decided to move up in weight. Or willing to face the winner of that fight, (if negotiations push through).

There is still some room left for Devin Haney to finish what he started at lightweight division, over all, he is already done sweeping the whole division and before he start to consider leaving the weight class, he should fight Shakur Stevenson first as he probably wanted that in this situation where majority of people are already doubting at him as he was not that impressive against Lomachenko, who could have defeated him if he wasn't having some +1 in the judge's favor.

Also, I think this is also the plan of Bob Arum to replace Devin Haney before the latter can proceed in signing towards another promoter. Besides, when marketing a fight, Shakur knows it well compared to Haney.

But if Haney wanted to step up in weight to Junior Welterweight, then Bob Arum can't do anything about it anymore. Yes Shakur wanted to fight but the burden is now on Haney or at least he has the total control of the situation. That is the only fight that matters now at 135 for Haney, Shakur or Tank Davis, and maybe that is the reason why he didn't sign to Top Rank, because only Shakur will be the guarantee fight for him. After that there's none, and the Junior Welterweight has only Josh Taylor and Teo Lopez for Top Rank. So maybe Haney will go up in weight and chase other champions that has been in the control of PBC or Al Haymon.
1092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Quick Bitcoin questions on: June 04, 2023, 07:44:14 PM
Why does it feels like Bitcoin is a better fit for store of value than a payment solution?

Is payment the substantial use case of crypto? If yes then where do you think Bitcoin stands? It cost me 0.20$ to make transactions on other payment solution that's not Bitcoin and it costs me over 1$ to make transaction with Bitcoin, isn't the cheaper always the better choice?

Since some crypto coins have cheaper transaction fee doesn't this make such coins a better fit for payment solution than Bitcoin?.and Bitcoin a better fit for store of value

Well it has evolved from the beginning, when it began to have a value and yes, when it continue to grows every bear and bull cycle, it become an asset and then store of  value.

But still I think you can used it as a payment solution, you can used LN (Lightning Network), to get over the high fees and the speed of the transaction itself. Just remember that Laszlo Hanyecz who bought pizza with 10,000 BTC.  Smiley

Everything everyone's ancestors worked for in the past 2000 years have been stolen by the central banks in the past 50 years. 

Bitcoin does not fix this it mask it more. Like a wound that needs stitches we throw oxy cottens at as we bleed out more.



What do you mean by this? How are you relating the hardwork or our ancestors for the past 2000 years to Bitcoin? Doesn't make any sense. And haven't you heard that bitcoin is not the means of everything? It's not a magic bean that will solved the world's problem, i.e poverty, hunger etc.

I think your mindset is totally wrong or your argument is flaw in the beginning.

If there will be someone that has stolen from our ancestors is that it is the capitalist, big corporations and banks.
1094  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving effects, how long they will last? on: June 03, 2023, 09:19:32 PM
When Bitcoin emerged the halving dates were clear. We do not know when the halving will break but in an environment where the halving dates are certain we can talk about stability and i can say that the break will not come. It is very normal to have volatility in the intervening time. Bitcoin has always stepped forward after its halving and it will be so in this upcoming halving process. Even if they block Bitcoin it will continue to grow with us.

Rough estimates is that it will happen in the last week or April or First week of May. But it doesn't matter the date though, what matter is that this is one of the most important even in bitcoin's history as it triggers the only catalyst for a massive bull run in 2024-2025.

Regarding the OP's question, I doubt that the cycle will break, and there is a reason for why it is called a cycle, the end result might be different, the bull run might not be as big as what we expect, or it could be massive. But one thing is for sure, it will continue to go on whatever the circumstances will be in the market.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: June 03, 2023, 08:51:39 PM
the problem with betting on this type of fight in which both fighters are specialists in knockouts and that both fighters have equal chances of winning, and betting on who will win the fight becomes the same as counting on luck, because no matter how much one fighter be very resistant to take a lot of punches and stay on your feet when he fights against another fighter who specializes in knockout so he will receive very strong punches and having to take all that pressure will be difficult soon what will happen is that the first fighter who lands a punch very strong in a region of the opponent's body in which it is a vital region, so it will be the fighter who will come out of this fight as the winner

Yeah, it paper it looks like they have equal chances, 50/50, but according to sports bookies, they have their own reasons why they put Crawford as a slight favorite. And all across sports bookies, whether fiat or crypto based it will still remain the same, maybe a slight variance, but still Crawford the favorite.

Will we not see another date later? lately I have seen the dates of the fights being changed with a lot of frequency. anyway, the two fighters will have more time to prepare for the fight, but I hope that another event that draws more attention doesn't happen in July and overshadow this fight, because putting a fight further away will always have a problem, it would be very well if the fight was this month, but anyway we will see the fight next month if there is no postponement

Hopefully not, for now this is 99% going to happen, unless either one of them got injured in their training, or become sick or will have a accident or worst, involved in a domestic dispute.

Just a couple of reasons why the fight will be postponed. But crossing fingers, we can just hope that everything will be fine so that we can witnessed already one of the best fight for this year.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: June 03, 2023, 08:36:29 PM
Yeah, the divorce could be an additional stress on him, but he should be focus on this fight. This is a different environment and weight class for him. We've seen his previous fight at 140 lbs and he doesn't look good, but he is taking a big risk in fighting a very game Josh Taylor who I still consider the best of the 140 lbs and it's going to be hard for Teo and his pysche war might not work against Josh.

Just saw Josh Taylor interviewed by Max Kellerman and realized that Taylor has been in this weight class for a long time now, and that is a huge advantage for him because he is very comfortable in this division while Lopez was not doing good on his last fight in this division and for Teo's style is tailored-fit for Taylor to look good in the ring and I predict that this might end via knockout for Taylor, considering that he will shake off those ring rust early in the fight.

The match looks like a big risk for Lopez which is partly true but Bob Arum or whoever from Top Rank masterminded this fight is making this nearly at par. Taylor might be very acclimatized in this division capturing all 4 belts. But he is known to have struggled to make the weight in his last fights and probably the same reason why struggled and had an off-night against Catterall. And lastly, Taylor is inactive. I am excited to see their face-offs. And I hope Taylor will KO Lopez, make his dad cry, and end the Lopez hype.

Speaking of Jack Catterall, he recently won his comeback fight against Australian Darragh Foley. He scored 2 knockdowns on that fight, but he can't finished the Australian, but manage to win 99-88, 98-89 and 97-90.

Who knows maybe after Taylor win here, the rematch could be back on track.

If not for the inactivity, I guess Lopez is an easy x3 minimum. Anyways, I wonder why Taylor remained in this division when he is struggling to make the weight. Is it for money, knowing Lopez is a big money fight? Or is it because Top Rank cannot provide him a title shot at 147 where the 3 belts belong to PBC/Showtime and WBO champion Terrence Crawford just left them? But now that Crawford and Spence are facing each other for a possible 2-way fight, it is most likely that the final winner if there is no immediate trilogy will move up in weight and all the belts will become vacant. Taylor should stop forcing his body to make 140 and head on to 147 after this fight where he can request for a higher ranking right away since he became undisputed at 140.

I think he can still make 140 lbs so most likely he will remain in this weight, again maybe go back for a rematch with Catterall or fight who ever emerges as the new champion or the other belts which he previously held. It will be a tough for him to get a shot at 147 lbs as it was held by PBC right now. The best shot they can make is against Vergil Ortiz with Golden Boy, if he will win against Eimantas Stanionis.

@bittraffic. Bivol and Canelo's rematch is assured? I shake my head because they cannot agree on the weight division. Bivol wants to fight Canelo in super middleweight where he can win all of Canelo's championships, maybe except for the WBC. Canelo wants to fight in light heavyweight where he can win Bivol's championships hehehe.

I speculate that there will be no deal for this unless Canelo gives Bivol the biggest money offer in Bivol's career.

On Benavidez, he will never be given his chance to fight Canelo. If Canelo fights him, it will be risky. However, he might accept $75 million heheheheheeee.

First time hearing that Bivol wants to get super middleweight belts and go to lower weight division. That is absurd, because he still dont have all the best in light heavyweight division Cheesy So what is the reason for Bivol to jump from division to division, when he still did not "unlock all achievements" in one Cheesy And the only reason imho why Canelo would go to light heavyweight is to avenge his loss. He wont go there just to change division, as there are no opponents in super middleweight anymore, he would go only to face Bivol.

Canelo should focus on super middleweight, as he wasnt that dominant against John Ryder, and everyone though it would be cherry picked opponent and easy fight, while Ryder gave him a good fight.


Exactly if Canelo wants it, he can really agree to the weight. Otherwise itw will not happen. Its all up to him, achieving the weight is all he needs otherwise he will not ever get his revenge. He'd been to 175.

Benavidez will have to battle hard if they make this happen but all these fight talks in the future always have discussions over money. Rhey can make fights happen when money talks.


From what I read, it seems that Canelo doesn't want a rematch with Bivol, that is according to Bivol's manager, because they are offering the same, maybe he is referring to the money. So obviously, Bivol is still the champ and has some leverage in this fight as he already beat Canelo soundly, without a doubt.

But if Canelo's camp is offering the same split, then Bivol and his camp has the right to demand for more money.

So it's a question why Canelo and his team is offering the same money in the rematch?

Then it's a clear duck on the side of Canelo, I think he might have bite off more than you can chew on the first fight. He thought that it is going to be easy for him but they are all wrong. And now that we saw Canelo's performance against Ryder, that he might be in the decline so they don't want to fight Bivol at this point without getting another biggest rewards.

I can't recall what is the first split in the first fight, but this time, it could have been at least 50/50 for me.

So Canelo now is threading in a very thin line, it's either another Mexican in David Benavidez, or Bivol, or just take another easy fight, but for sure the fans wouldn't like that.

Like the the topic implies, that was what a friend made me feel due to his panic on why will his bitcoin address and transaction be tracked by a third party after forwarding what I posted here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454672.0 to him and other friends.

Himself and some other friends are those I do not want them to miss out in bitcoin investment, a reason I every time took my time to explain and any beginners may learn from this short response.

1- You bitcoin address in not your bitcoin but a house for it just like your bank account.
2- Your bitcoin address can only be be compromised if you share your personal details or private key along with sharing the address.
3- People may say that your bitcoin address can be likened to your bank account and and email address, I have read it online myself. They are right to some extent, but the privacy of bitcoin is far better. Why? Through your bank details, your details can be known by diggers, same goes for email address if you use your real identity to open it.

But for bitcoin, nothing will be revealed relating to you by merely seeing your address. It is again good to use non-custodial wallet for keeping your bitcoin safe and own total right to it.

Yes, but you should know that it's only addresses, it doesn't have any name on it. Specially if you exposed a wallet addresses that you have control of, then I doubt that someone will know that it belongs to you unless you publicly going to state it that it is yours.

Of course, there is blockchain analysis that can track your addresses, but they really need to dig deeper and to see the connections per se.

And this is why there are traders who like to used DEX, because the exchanges doesn't require you to submit KYC and again, you have that control of your private keys which is very important.

There is no rematch clause in this fight as per Fulton already. He admitted that this is just one fight and then see how it goes. He really wanted to go up in weight already and fight Brandon at 126 lbs it's that maybe his camp stop him from moving up because there is one fight that they need to settle and that is the Inoue fight.

That statement from Stephen Fulton is because the fight against Inoue doesn't happen yet. If he wins this match, the winds might change and probably delay his moved-up quest as he already knows he can defeat the monster from Japan, therefore he might consider accepting a rematch if Inoue's camp will request it.

"Legacy + More Money" in the table, that's what waiting for Fulton if he accepts the rematch.

Defeating Inoue twice will give him a big recognition than pursuing Figueroa in 126 which he already defeated in the 122.

Anyways, let's not talk about the rematch for now. Smiley

I definitely agree with you on that. However, the outcome of the fight will depend on the manner of winning. If Fulton gets lucky and wins in a close fight but realizes that he can't truly defeat Inoue in reality, then I suppose he will accept that win and move on. In order to see a rematch, Fulton needs to have a convincing win and be extremely confident that he can defeat the monster twice.

Fulton doesn't have power at 122 lbs, and he has been rocked several times in his career at this weight class, although you have to admire that he was able to hold up and finished the fight, let's say against the volume punching of Figueroa and even win it, even others are dubious about the scores and think that it was a gimme to Fulton.

So in this cause, the only manner of winning that Fulton has is through the judges scorecard, of course, maybe he will get lucky and win by a knockout but that is a long shot. I don't think that there will be rematch, just saying. I think Inoue will win this fight.

~snip~

From time to time I use VPN in casinos even if it is forbidden by TOS, because I don't keep money in casino accounts and I realize the risks of losing winnings because of it, so if possible I withdraw funds immediately if I win. To be honest I can't even explain why I do it when there is a huge number of casinos where you can play without using VPN. Maybe it is the additional risks that allow me to tickle my nerves, or maybe it is a desire to play where it is not allowed.

That is the inner gambler in you, maybe the adrenaline rush or it's just the risk that you have to take.

But as for my case, I haven't used VPN while gambling, it's because it's legal here. However, there are platforms that bans our country, and with that, I don't want to used VPN. It's ok for me to look for other casinos that will allow me to play without having to go to a VPN.

It's better to play comfortably though, instead of thinking that the casino's might caught you using a VPN and get your account suspended with your money in it.
