1861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anderson Silva vs Jake paul who you bet on? on: October 01, 2022, 09:52:03 PM
Just sharing the opinion of Wilder's former coach - Malik Scott.

Quote
Silva’s being brought in, he’s got a great name. He’s a great fighter. But I believe Jake Paul has also become a good fighter as well. Is he a world beater? Absolutely not. But is he an influencer fighter? Not to me no more. I’m not going to keep saying it because he’s actually looking better than some boxers.

https://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-coach-gives-jake-paul-edge-over-silva-hes-become-good-fighter--169364

Interesting point of view by a boxing trainer here, not just because he thinks that Jake has a chance to win against Silva, but his take that he is good in boxing per se, as he has a massive follower and perhaps he thinks that those fans are into boxing right now.

Malik Scott has a point, Jake Paul has improved well but we are just used to see him as a boxer who's just fighting washed out boxers and fighters from MMA to maintain his advantage and keeps on getting his pocket full. That is not the case to me anymore, time will come that he will be a bonafide boxer to the people's eye. That bout against Rahman Jr. is his chance to show that he's not the old Jake Paul anymore but Rahman Jr. avoided him that's why he is not facing a veteran fighter again namely Anderson Silva.

Yes, the Rahman fight might be a good gauge, but who knows, it might be just a setup as well and Paul will win that fight. But now, he will be tested against another former MMA, but this time, it has a good stand up game and could really box and should be the closest to a boxer with a good caliber that Jake Paul will face (without getting the fight rig). So we will have to see how Jake Paul can mesh with Anderson's style and he can break him apart and if he has power in both hands. Might be interesting for some fight fans that they want to see this fight.
1862  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When Bottom? on: October 01, 2022, 01:11:21 PM
When Bottom? $17.5k is the bottom and currently Bitcoin is priced at $19.5 and rose to $20k earlier,
if you haven't bought Bitcoin I guarantee you will regret it because many people expect Bitcoin to dump to $15k,
and unfortunately the month will change and September will be over .
Waiting for bitcoin bottom to invest is unprofessional while we have DCA strategy. No one knows where the bottom will be, if we wait we will miss the opportunity to buy bitcoin cheaply. Investing in bitcoin is a long-term investment, a few percent higher price is nothing to worry about. Many people wait for a bigger drop but this October I believe bitcoin will rise again.
Bitcoin is always having a good result during october. The problem is we have been facing so many problems at the same time. The global recession came along with so many inflations that happened with market. That was pushing people not to spend their money for the volatile investment like crypto. The problem is when this thing is still happeing during this money and bitcoin may have negative result for this month.

Wrong, it's not always, during the last bear market of 2018, Bitcoin was doing like -3-4%  at the month of October.

But I do agree that it is a trying times not just for crypto market, but for the rest of other investments that we have right now. The looming recession, or shall I say that we are already in that phase. And still the war that we don't know when it's going to end are affecting everyone of us. Dollar is weakening is another indication that this year and maybe the next, we should expect the worst and so is Bitcoin market. Next year we will still experience another worst bearish trend.
1863  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin rise again? on: October 01, 2022, 12:31:17 PM
Bitcoin will certainly rise again, as long as we can be patient for hold then we will get a big profit, if we focus on the long -term target then now is the best time to continue to buy, the way is to save bitcoin in 1 wallet and never open again for the price what we target has not been achieved.

Right, I do agree that bitcoin investment should be long term, but it doesn't mean that long term is not profitable as well. You just need to know how to play the game, scalping and making technical analysis and see where the price will go and anticipate how you are going to make profits from there.

But for long term, it's not that complicated. All you have to do is to buy and accumulate throughout the years, specially in bear market 1 BTC is definitely the target, but if you can't then you can just purchase in small portions.
1864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 01, 2022, 12:15:08 PM
According to the article, Terence Crawford wants more transparency on the event's expenses. I am shaking my head, why?

Why so demanding? I think fighters just have to fight and get paid according to the agreed amount in the contract. He is more interested on the job of the promoter, they are the ones who are taking care of that matter, they are fighters, they should focus on training.

I guess fighters now are more vocal than it was 10-20 years wherein they see this a job, with no security tenure. They just want to fight the best and see how "macho" they are compare to the other boxers in their division. That's why we have so many great fights in the past.

Now, boxers want more transparency, they have their own legal team to scrutinized every contract and may add some or contest if they don't want that to be included in the contract.
1865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 01, 2022, 11:59:36 AM

WBC and WBO super bantamweight Champion Stephen Fulton has shown interest in fighting the Bantamweight King Naoya Inoue if possible or if the latter moved up to 122lb. But if that didn't happen, Fulton can fight Murodjon Akhmadaliev instead to unify the Super Bantamweight title.

Just as I thought that the Champions in that division are waiting for Naoya Inoue. I think Inoue can crash these guys at the Super Bantamweight but of course, he just needs to fully prepare for that and don't rush everything.

The way I looked at Inoue, he is overqualified already to compete in the Super Bantamweight. Who's with me or against my idea? Smiley
You are right, Inoue is way above the competition he is facing at this division and we only have to take a look at this thread to know this is true, this is an unification fight which will create an undisputed champion and yet we are not giving Butler any chance for him to win the fight, this is how dominant Inoue really is and I do not see how this will change during the short term, so if he wants to face new challenges he has no other option but to move up a division.

He is too much because his best rival was out due to cheating, I know you know about Casimero, if only he was still a champion and Inoue gave him a chance to fight, then most probably we cannot say that there's no competition in this division.

What do you mean cheating? Casimero? again it's the problem about this weight causing him to missed the fight with Butler. And if by chance, he should be the one facing Inoue right now. But it seems that Casimero is also moving up in weight next and will have a fight this December if I'm not mistaken. So there is still a chance between them to fight in the super bantamweight division and I think the fans are still very interested on seeing this fight.
1866  Economy / Speculation / Re: All Eyes On Bitcoin’s Monthly Close on: September 30, 2022, 07:33:24 AM
Bitcoin's performance in September was disappointing,

For many, there was no particular disappointment. September has historically often been a bad month for bitcoin, so it was definitely not worth waiting for some supernatural events in the bitcoin market. If bitcoin goes below $17,000 in October, then you can forget about $30,000 for a while. Investors will be begging for bitcoin to return to the $20,000 mark. Few wanted to believe at the end of last year that Bitcoin would almost always be in the red in 2022. Now the market is giving them a good opportunity to admit they were wrong.

Indeed, only disappointing if you had expected a rally above $22000, knowing that the world is falling apart, war is getting more, new wars are becoming bigger threats, prices of goods and supply are all rising and recession is coming.

Bitcoin by now we should all realize isn't the asset to go rising sky high when the world is in crisis even it is an asset that won't disappear to zero unlike many other fiats.

I don't know why people keep letting themselves get disappointed Smiley

That's just one part of the equation, you let your self disappointed in this market, and if so, what will be your plan B? for sure there's none for them. They are going to be disappointed though, as the market is going to fall because of the world recession, not just us, but other markets like stocks, which shows that we are interconnected after all. So once those investors got disappointed, they can't just say that they will shift to others because everything is going down.

And the best thing to do is to really choose whether stocks or bitcoin as our vehicle to get out of the current world situation. And for us, it's easy choice, we better stick with Bitcoin and wait till the next bull run.
1867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is There Any Reality Behind Hash Tag Altcoinseason or it's Just a Myth? on: September 30, 2022, 04:22:43 AM
If we are going to look at BTC past history and it's correlation to the whole crypto bull run, then yes everyone is based on the price of Bitcoin, 99% of the altcoin that is. And so I don't think that the hashtag is true, it might be that they want to start something new, but we all know that it's not going to happen. We are in the bear market, as you have said, -70++% from bitcoin alone, show that we are in a bearish trend. And I would advise the OP to not trust anyone, specially about this so called crypto influencers because they have their own narrative behind.
1868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 30, 2022, 03:02:10 AM
Overtraining? I don't think it's a big issue though, I guess the real problem is the weight issue because boxers know if they are undertrained or overtrained. Anyway, it's already over, this rematch, we will see how Ancajas will make the right adjustments.

I would agree that there might be a weight issue in the first encounter that contributed to Ancajas' loss but let us also give credit to Martinez as he really performed very well that night that he captured that unexpected belt that he has now.

The weight really brought down his performance no doubt, and then the trainer might have push him a bit in the gym. Maybe they want to put a impressive performance.

For sure Ancajas already knew what adjustments to make on this rematch and I just hope that this time he will be more focused and forget momentarily that he lost to this guy once.

That could be added extra motivation for the former champion. He knows his mistakes inside the ring, and this is where he can really adjust and make the best out of the first fight experience. Drill Martinez and forget that he is the former champion. He should look to get it as if this is his first time. Anything that can really trigger Ancajas mentality.

It's not as easy as it sounds though,  gambling and investing on them is very different.  And as per this article:

https://www.investopedia.com/top-casino-stocks-5078278

Majority of them are under performing, with Las Vegas Sands Corp returning just 3 on a 12-Month Trailing Total Return (%).

While the rest are all negatives.

Of course, we appreciate women too, Serena and Venus Williams had a great battle with Swiss Miss Martina Hingis and then Maria Sharapova. Those are the times that the women side can rival the mens are far as intensity and the number of fans watching their battle in the court.

Steffi Graf and Monica Seles, who would forget the stabbing incident on her?

And along the line there are a lot of women like Lindsay Davenport, Justin Henin, Kim Clijsters, Jennifer Capriati and Mary Pierce.
Those were the days - my dad was so fond of Steffi Graf. He had a silent crush on her.
He never missed any of her match - during those days we used to have a big fat TV - but we all used to sit in front of that TV and watch together - now everyone has TV in the rooms - life have become so different

Yeah, I think most of us have seen Graf played against the other greats like Monica Seles, they really have a great competition back then. And who wouldn't have a crush on Graf during here prime?

Anyhow, those are the memories, we are all glued together in the screen watching this ladies and mens as well and we are mesmerized on how they really good. Now it's Swiatek that will have to carry it and some other ladies like Jabeur, but we will have to see and she can rise to the ranks and challenge Iga.

If decoin scammed, you create a proper scam accusation in the board suggested to you by one of the members.

If you have strong proof linking Decoin to MSKO you can also create a free scam accusation about them with all the evidence so that members can stay away from both projects. It's the best thing you can do right now.

I have proof, it's not a problem.. linking mr shay perry, decoin to msko is not very difficult.. he doesn't even hide.. linking members of their teams who are also in the 'team' decoin, it's not difficult too.. .. i even have a telegram message with an msko admin who offers me to try to solve the problem with decoin, then who is not even in the team decoin.. I will wait a little longer to see where this discussion will with this person before making a complete summary of the situation..

Again if you have proof that the project or the people behind it is a scam then post it on the Scam Accusation board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0.

And maybe we will see someone from their group to answer your queries. But in any case, I would advise that you should treat your money as gone already.

But giving the community a warning about this project could prevent others to fall for their trick.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 29, 2022, 01:54:01 AM
Who do you think is the best number one of all time?

Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, or Rafael Nadal? (maybe another one?)

Sampras still has the impressive record of being the number one player for 6 continuous years.
I wasn't so much into tennis in Sampras time so I don't really remeber any big rivalries for him other than Agassi and he had quite good H2H with him in the end.

Murray would have made so much more in any other time than this. I don't think tennis ever had something similar to level of performaces the big four produced before becoming the big three. Any one of them would have had it so much easier if competition wasn't that good. That is why it is so difficult to compere player from different eras.
Can we give a little appreciation to the woman players as well.
Maria and Sefty Graff
What an amazing woman they were too

Of course, we appreciate women too, Serena and Venus Williams had a great battle with Swiss Miss Martina Hingis and then Maria Sharapova. Those are the times that the women side can rival the mens are far as intensity and the number of fans watching their battle in the court.

Steffi Graf and Monica Seles, who would forget the stabbing incident on her?

And along the line there are a lot of women like Lindsay Davenport, Justin Henin, Kim Clijsters, Jennifer Capriati and Mary Pierce.

But if you look at the last 5 years, there's no single women who dominated the game such as those names. We have Osaka, but after her triumph in the grand slams, she lost traction already.

And last year we have Raducanu, same thing happen, changes coaches and now nowhere to be found in the top 5. But we could have Swiatek already, that might take the ladies division for then next coming years as I don't see anyone getting close to her at this point.

LOL, if that doesn't scream scam on the OP face about the withdrawals, I don't know what else could we say.

And gambling sites at least reputable would process withdrawal right away unless they found something that will make them dig deeper and investigate and delay the withdrawal for at least 2 days.

Go look around, most that answer you have signature in place so you can choose among those gambling sites and see how it goes for you.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 29, 2022, 12:10:07 AM
Two factors why Ancajas lost from the fight, lack of training because of the sudden replacement and second is he is not in good state where he can give a good fight to Martinez.

We should stop saying the sudden replacement of the opponent is one of the reasons why Jerwin Ancajas lost. That was a sh*t reason for a champion like him. On the other hand, Martinez is also on the same as he suddenly becomes a challenger and will face the champion.

Both of them have the same time to do the preparations.

It's clear and is also mentioned by his camp that Ancajas is not really in his shape on that fight because of overtraining to reach the required weight. That's it.

Yes, it's not that Martinez is a replacement fighter, it really boils down to

a) his weight issues
b) overtraining

So both really contributed on his performance and they admit to it afterwards. Yeah, they might be thrown off a bit by Martinez as a late replacement but he could have perform better and win the fight if those issues didn't arises in his camp.


Overtraining? I don't think it's a big issue though, I guess the real problem is the weight issue because boxers know if they are undertrained or overtrained. Anyway, it's already over, this rematch, we will see how Ancajas will make the right adjustments.

I'm not the one who said it, you can read what his trainer has said here,

Quote
He suspects they may have over trained Ancajas while preparing for Martinez.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/17/22/boxing-what-adjustments-ancajas-is-making-for-next-bout

So I don't think you can argue on what his trainer says?

And besides, I can only speculate that they have seen the weight issue already and did try to compensate and losing those extra baggage by doing lots of drills resulting to another factor that affected his performance.

I think we might continue to trade around the threshold of $18,000-$22,000. As you have said the bears really takes over this cycle, so it's safe to assume that the sideway pattern will continue.

And monthly we will see CPI report from FED that really affected us negatively. So we should expect for the worst his coming months. But nevertheless, the price is very cheap, thus taking advantage of the situation is not that bad. Everyone should long at the long term prospect and invest right now or throughout this bear market.

1878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 28, 2022, 01:40:11 AM

Back to this fight, it looks like Haney will still win again as his chances to win again have increased this time that's why he is confident to fight Kambosos again in his place. That said, the chance of trilogy is quite low, so I think we will see Haney vs Loma next.

Maybe yes or we never know what will be the fighting chance of Kambosos as he's the one who needs to adjust and make a big come back if he wanted to reclaim the belt. I'm not sure about the bookies reference in terms of placing the underdog and the favorite but maybe it's more on the title holder and for Kambosos fans they might get better odd on this fight.

Of course, Haney's win is not guaranteed yet but based on what we saw and their abilities, we can somehow speculate that Haney still have the higher hand this time. We don't know yet what will Kambosos do this time, but I know they have some plan because they wouldn't activate the rematch clause in just mere months after the fight if they didn't figure out something.
As for the betting side, Haney might be the favorite too but I think his odds compared to the underdog is not that far.

The odds for Haney is high to win in this rematch, we have seen the Kambosos struggles against a fighter that has good defense. He can't even land a good punch on Haney in their first fight, what makes it different in the second? If he will adjust in the rematch, so is Haney. And being one of the best ring IQ, Haney can play chess match and anticipate George next move in this second fight.

So most likely, the outcome will be the same, all judges awarding Haney the scores and Haney will opt to move up and not face Lomachenko. Or if he wanted the experience then fight him next year.
1879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 28, 2022, 01:22:02 AM
Another update on the undercard, Top Rank has added Nico Ali Walsh, the the grandson of “The Greatest.” He is still a bubbling Middleweight, so the future looks bright and hopefully he can carry the last name of his Grand Dad in boxing again. He will be fighting Billy Wagner, in six rounds.

It's good that we will see him fight in this under card, however, he could be pressure in his shoulder because of his last name. So we will see in the future, if he has what it takes to carry the name or simply another ordinary boxer that has the legacy in his name.

Ortiz though is known to be “The Technician”, hehehe. So both of them are technician, but obviously, Loma is better all around boxer, he can beat you in several ways until you quit.

I don't think that are any boxers that are more technical than Lomachenko. I'm not sure about Ortiz, but we have seen how Lomachenko destroys with any of the boxing style.
1880  Economy / Gambling / Re: I beat Duelbits on: September 24, 2022, 11:09:57 PM
IMHO Stake isn't a bad casino, I think you're just unlucky on Stake and you're not getting anything on there. While in Duelbits you're lucky and yeah they're a reputable casino, of course they will pay all winnings. Stake is more for high rollers since their VIP promotions are have so many tiers and the wagering requirement is very high, but the prize is make sense. While Duelbits the wagering requirement isn't really and have other promotion about multiplier contests.
They are both ok and this is not a comparison thread, OP is just trying to flex about his winning on Duelbits and claiming that he beat the site because he has no plan to play again after his winning. This is pretty normal of other gamblers to leave right away once they get a good amount of profit. Though this is not the actual way to beat the site but I guess OP is just happy to share this.

But the thing is, the word he put in that sometimes we are really at lost here. Flexing is one thing, sometimes I put my bet my covered everything except the odds and the bets that I put.

However, saying that you beat the house? It's not going to happen in any casino, even if you are the luckiest player in the world, you can't beat the house because they have mechanism that will not allow anyone to bring the house down.
