341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: January 24, 2024, 12:13:36 PM

So Nery needs to be very careful here, he might think that his power could be enough, but Inoue shows that he has a iron chin too. And Inoue also developed his counter punching already, similar to a pull back then straight right of Mayweather. But Inoue has more power.

Nery does have a good KO rate but Inoue is just exceptional. He better think that he is up against an extraordinary powerful fighter so he would be reckless when in the ring. It's a big success for him if he could finally deal Inoue his first lose, but it's easier than said, you know.

I believe that Fulton and Tapales were the toughest opponent that he fought in the last three years and Nery is not that invincible he was first exposed by figueroa the guy cannot take a punch and figueroa is not even a hard puncher, all Inoue has to do is to aim the body because Nery has weakness in his body as shown in his match against Figueroa.

I don't see it that way. The toughest? These two boxers you've mentioned didn't even hurt Inoue, they were champions but they are just playing solid defense without an offense, but still it resulted to a KO win by Inoue. The toughest was against Donaire, during the first meeting, Inoue got hurt but he was smart to make an adjustment and manage to win the fight.

Perhaps prior to the fight, everyone thought that they will have a good chance against Inoue. So in paper, Fulton as a 2 belt champion is touted to be a boxer that might beat Inoue's style. And then Tapales too, he said before the fight that he is really on what Inoue will give to him. But the fight was not even close. Maybe it's just way to sell the fight but for bettors, Inoue is really very hard to beat.

And even if Nery has a good knockout percentage, Inoue is very hard to hit to even score a knockout against him as Inoue has a good defense too and his chin has never been really crack by anyone.

This casino is relatively new here in the forum so this is the danger of playing on new casino while you have an experience of being in disadvantage for winning to often on other casino.

Normal action of trusted casino on user like you is just being limited or not able to join promotion but this is not a standard protocol especially to new casino that is not yet established. You will never have a chance to fight them if they decided to just leave here like coinplay did before.

Coins.game is a relatively new casino, but I think we can say they had a good start and Denis was very active here. So I am not sure why they decided to just confiscate user funds without any explanations. I don't count Denis's short answer in the scam accusation thread as an explanation, it's even rude to call someone a cheater without any arguments and proof.

I hope they won't give up on the forum, I think this is not a lot of money for the casino to jeopardize their reputation here and on casino review sites. As I said, the start was nice, it would be foolish to ruin all that.

I do agree, and I think by now they should understand how big this community is, I mean we have been part of them before and we like what we are seeing to the point that we think they could really turn big in the next couple of years assuming with all the competition here.

Hopefully they will come into their senses and not ruin their reputation here with that just one accusations against them. So hopefully, everything will be positive on both sides or at least a mediation can be done so save their trust and reputation.
343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Parker (WBO interim heavyweight title) March 8 on: January 22, 2024, 09:46:17 PM
The battle of the underrated champion. Parker came from a big win but I'm gonna bet on Zhang as I believe he had proven himself to be a strong opponent by beating Joyce twice which he was a heavy underdog on the first meeting. Parker's win against Wilder is also huge but I think Wilder is not anymore on his prime or he was mentally affected with his lose to Fury which he cannot be as confident as he was when he's still undefeated.

It's a chess match, but both have power so I think it will not end in 12 rounds. Maybe maximum rounds based on my prediction is 10 rounds, and it's favor of Zhang as I've mentioned.

Actually Parker has more fights as per boxrec, and he is younger, looking at that he got the edge but bookies listed him as underdog.

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/613846
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/692149

We all know why Zhang is the favorite here (has knockout power), but Parker is no stranger to being a underdog as well. He have shown that with careful preparation and mental toughness he can overcome one of heavy handed boxer we have in the Heavyweight division as he upset Wilder. So this is going to be another great test for Parker on how he can flip the switch again. Not taking anything though from him, but I think Wilder is shot already and that Fury has taken out the best out of him.

So this fight might be difficult to him, as we all have agree that Zhang power can KO anyone, including Parker. The odds are fair, but I guess for those who are fans or Parker, obviously they love that kind of odds for him as a underdog.

Voted already.

Great to know that my country is not restricted and at that it will be an awesome time for me to test this casino, in the coming days.

But just so I can know, why are you having so much restricted countries in you casino, because having souch countries not being able to access your casino is something that doesn't make sense toe since it will slow down your traffics at some point.

I think if it issue's that can be resolved and restrictions lifted I wil advice you do so if you want to build a strong company for yourself that can withstand any forces in the future.
As far as I know (from the discussion with JC rep), the restriction is based on their casino license type. They are working on developing a product which the community wants. I believe they will work on more changes in the coming days. That's what they have told me earlier.

It make sense, as their licenses is Curacao based. But it's good to see them building them slowly. Perhaps I'm lucky that the country that I lived in is not on the restricted countries.

And I agree, that if they wanted to reach our more players, they will have to implemented changes in the future.
345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: January 20, 2024, 09:21:46 PM
My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and  she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

if I'm not mistaken, we have this kind of thread before. Anyhow, as a parent it's instinct is to really discipline their child right? Specially we all know that stealing is generally not accepted in any society. And so the burden is really on the parents and maybe we can say that they are part of the problem if the child turns out to be a thieve and really give a parent a hard time.

But regarding the question it's a going to be a dilemma to the parent, but for me, he should be discipline by his mom, period, if he accepts that winning money, it's like giving him permission to gamble and that it is allowed in the household. Maybe right now they have money, but what if the kid gamble it all along and in worst case scenario, losses everything and started to stole money again? If not from his mom, he could do it to other people and the consequences will be very bad for the boy and his mom.
346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss! on: January 20, 2024, 08:44:08 PM
Casimero will just shut down by Inoue when this happened. Inoue is not a joke anymore while his skills is downgrade significantly base on both recent fight. I’m not sure anymore how he can beat Inoue when this match happened.
Still not impressive for me, Inoue's biggest fight was with  Donaire and if you watch it closely either of them could have won that fight if their punches are going in. I've never seen bloody Inoue after his succeeding fights. I can't compare Inoue to some of the fearless fighter I've known, coz upon checking he didn't beat any known fighters!

This will still be a hype if Casimero last fight resulted in a convincing manner. He might suffer the same fate of Tapales if he is still living in a dream that he is the only one who can stop Inoue.
Casimero want him, and if you look at the titles, Inoue can steal Casimero's belt but why don't he fight Casimero?

You are referring to the Donaire first fight? Yeah, Nonito almost beat Inoue that time and put a serious damage on his, broke his orbital bone, but in the end, the judges awarded the fight to Inoue 117–109, 116–111, and 114–113 and won the WBSS trophy. But after that fight, Inoue really improved and in the rematch, Donaire was no match for him, maybe Inoue really aged already.

Then he beat Butler, take the last of the bantamweight belt, WBO, and unified it. Then bet the best super bantamweight in Fulton and Tapales. I think that is impressive enough for Inoue to be given the Boxer of the year by Ring magazine.

On the other hand, Casimero also moved up to super bantamweight because he can't no longer make the weight at bantamweight. Debut at 122 lbs, fight Oguni, that ended in a disappointing technical draw (later reversed). He then fought Filipus Nghitumbwa in Manila for the so called World Boxing Organization (WBO) global super bantamweight and won by UD and it was not impressive.
347  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Kickstart January in style on: January 19, 2024, 11:13:08 PM
In the last quarter of 2023, BTC enjoyed significant gains and analysts projected 2024 as another bull year due to ranging factors of which Bitcoin halving and approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF are most significant.

Blackrock announcement about the approval of the spot ETF over the weekend could be the catalyst that have triggered the market in the first day of year 2024 with BTC and global marketcap up by 6% respectively and currently trading above the $45k mark.

While many are anticipating bullrun to kickstart after the Bitcoin halving, I have a feeling there could be a twist to this year's bull run as it may not completely depend on the factors listed above. It's also important to note that the US interest rate is on a decline which is a good thing that could drive investors to opt for crypto. What do you think, let's discuss.

That feelings may have to wait for a while unless if the Bitcoin ETF happens sooner than expected,  then we can have a bll market before the bitcoin halven,  but anything outside that,  it won't fly at all so we shouldn't expect too much from the market before march-april which is already around the corner.

Many of the time,  we have expected Bitcoin all time high pre to halven,  which have happen before but on an accidental basis,  because since the first record of ATH before halven,  it haven occurs again and all other previous all-time highs have been after halves

Just going back to this thread, the ETF has been approved, and we have seen like $600 million flowing on the first day and it shook the market, pushing as high as $49,000. But now the market is calm already from all the ETF hype, we've seen minor dips to $40,000k'ish but it went back in the last 24 hours to $42,000.

What I'm saying is that just because of the approval of ETF, we should expect something big to happen right away. That is not the case, the real catalyst for the market is the block halving that is going to happen in April and not this ETF approvals. It could be a factor though, but the effect is not going to be felt right away by the ecosystem and maybe there are still some entities taking advantage of that big push and sell.
348  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 19, 2024, 10:17:33 PM
And just like what I post before, getting a license is very cheap and it's no way a good measurement if the casino are not going to scam us. Perhaps we gamblers take it just as a face value as it become a so called norm to have licenses and then show it to everyone, look we are legit, go play with us as Curacao has given us licenses.

LOL, and then gamblers fall for it, and then later realized that it was a scam site, bitch around the community that they have been scammed by thousands of dollars. And I don't see any benefits as well for online platforms for getting it, they are just being milk by Curacao to go and apply for licenses that no gamblers are going to look at.

350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 19, 2024, 09:14:20 PM


So two things came to my mind:

1. the result was rigged and they might just pick random people to win, but it's all just front for them
They cannot just pick random guys and proclaim to be the winner of millions what if out of conscience the guy speaks out, and also the agency can be bribed even if they pay the guy millions he can still ask more in exchange for his silence, or the guy is a kiss and tell guy, like telling this to his friends when he is drunk and the friend create a revelation on social media that could be chaos.

Well if money talks then maybe they can pay this guy to be quiet? We know that everyone can do anything in terms of money now, so it's possible that they can do it or even worst. Remember what happen to the Philippines as well with those e-sabong? there are a lot of individuals who disappear or maybe killed.

Quote
2. there is a real winner, but the way they hide the faces looks very suspicious
It looks that way, they just hired a guy who has poor editing skills or if they come out with an edited picture they better tell it straight to the public for transparency it's hard when the public finds out, they will have suspicion and this can put the agency's reputation in peril.

Exactly, maybe they are in a hurry, or they think that Filipinos will not recognized that something is odd on that picture. And yet they released it to the public and it was obviously a wrong move in their part. But I doubt that the heads are going to roll on this one. Although it has been investigated, perhaps they will just shuffle the position of those who are involved here, IMHO.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 17th FEBRUARY 2024 on: January 18, 2024, 10:21:05 PM
I've search for the undercard and this is what I've found:

Joe Cordina vs. Anthony Cacace
Sergey Kovalev vs. Robin Sirwan
Isaac Lowe vs. Hasibullah Ahmadi
Moses Itauma vs. TBA Bakhodir
Jalolov vs. TBA
David Nyika vs. TBA

(https://www.boxingnews24.com/2024/01/fury-usyk-undercard-unveiled-opetaia-vs-briedis-2-on-february-17th-in-saudi-arabia/)

Lame undercard though, seriously Kovalev? And then Cordina?

Is that the best that they can put in this great fight?

Kovalev is 40 years old and beyond shot. He was already considered washed up when he was cherry-picked by Canelo, and that was many years ago. With all the legal problems he has had it doesn't surprise me that he is now desperate for a paycheck.

I was considering buying the PPV but if it's going to be $80, it kind of feels like a ripoff even if the main event is a historic heavyweight fight.

Yes, most likely Kovalev is just looking for a his last pay check here and he was just lucky that he was still given a fight in the undercard here. But then the PPV though, yeah I believed its going to be $80 as this is the biggest fight in Heavyweight. But the undercard is really disappointed, however, as @hilariousetc said, the Saudi doesn't care about making money here, all this wealthy person wanted to see the best of the best in Usyk and Fury.

If they are going to lose money, it's fine with them and it's good to the sports of boxing as I have said. At least everyone is happy as they are making money and hopefully we can see fights more often, undisputed or just two great boxers, specially in the lower weight class and not just for the HW division.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mental rehabilitation clinic. on: January 18, 2024, 10:05:40 PM
Imagine that there is such a rehabilitation clinic for people who are addicted to gambling. Now imagine what they treat there without the use of pharmacology.
    The main doctors there are gambling specialists, whose task is to convince you that you do not need to gamble. Your task, for example, is to prove that the patient most likely has a disordered game. In order to have long-term income, you need to have a gaming system. And not just a system, but a fairly innovative system of forecasting and risk management. Most likely the patient does not have it and never had it; otherwise he would have been successful and would not have ended up in rehab.
    It is also necessary to find something for the patient to do instead of playing, so that he can occupy himself.
Now imagine that this gambling expert is you. What arguments will you give? What will you tell the patient about?
       Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
    What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?

Aren't gambling rehabs already present ? I'm sure it must be there but are not very famous.
Besides that, there are general rehabs which are present which helps us stay away from any addictions that we have.
If I were a doctor then I would rather make the patient focus on sports related activities to keep them away from gambling.
This way they would stay away from gambling while staying fit.

It could be part of the program itself, teaching recovering gambling addicts and focus on sports activities. I also read that some doctors took holistic approach of it as we all know that there are inner demons from their patients. So they can teach yoga, meditation to improve control of one self so that they can promote overall well being.

So it's very difficult to really recover, your family as well could be involved and they are the biggest factors that can really help someone. Or even a support group will help as everyone is one the same dilemma. And so they can share their experiences and for sure it will really help each one of them recover faster. Follow up as well is needed, so that they will not go and fall on mental lapses and be addicted again.
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 09:29:04 PM
Does this doubt come from those who have not yet won? I do understand how people feel about this. Indeed, that problem exists, but for a system full of greed, they can still operate without any hesitation. But I also know people who win a lot of money, and not everyone wants to hide their identity. But in some local cases that I know of, they are all low-income people and luckily, it came to them, the amount of money was too large to help them change their lives (usually worth over $5 million). So I don't want to equate all cases, because no matter what countries there are, there will be good/bad people, so whoever wants to doubt should continue to doubt. Whoever wants to trust should continue to believe.

No, I think everyone has doubts that's why it was raised, and with the social media age, it will definitely get a audience that now the Philippine Senate is involved already and trying to uncover if there is really some "magic" behind curtains and as to who is the real winner from their lottery because the picture itself is obviously doctored and photoshopped.

So two things came into my mind:

1. the result was rigged and they might just pick random people to win, but it's all just front for them
2. there is a real winner, but the way they hide the faces looks very suspicious

Well you can separate it to Electrum for your daily trading activities, and then Hardware wallet for long term storage. That is a huge money to begin with, might be better if you really take it out from exchange.

355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 18, 2024, 08:46:44 PM
Another attraction to this fight is the undercard fight between Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker who both come from spectacular wins, Zhang against Joyce and Parker against Wilder and this is for the interim WBO heavyweight title.
These two fighters are now on top of the rank because of their wins against their respective opponents and the two are possible contenders for the winner in the Fury - Usyk fight in case the winner of the Joshua - Ngannou can't agree on the terms.
Parker is my favorite fighter to win against Zhang, I am more impressed by how he beat Wilder than Zhang beating Joyce, but he needs to be careful Zhang possesses a very wicked left straight and he has a good lateral movement.
Zhang vs Parker is also very difficult to predict. We've seen that Zhang left hand has that power and Parker has great lateral movement. So it's a question if Zhang can land that power and or Parker uses his movement to make Zhang misses his power shot.

And Zhang is dangerous in the early rounds and so if Parker can weathered the storm early, avoid that power and then uses his jab to not let Zhang set up his left hand, he might win this fight in the judges score card. But if Zhang in 6 rounds hit Parker, it might be an early fight for him. So the key for Parker is to ouboxed Zhang just like what he did against Wilder to stay away from that big left hand. But for sure this is going to be a great and competitive fight.

I think I made the mistake of calling it an undercard when it should be a co-main event, these two boxers are coming from impressive wins on two former champions they should be given the respect they deserve, yes I voted for Parker but it's not a vote that can be considered a unanimous because Zhang is capable it will go down to who wants it most and who can properly implement a good game plan.
I don't think the boxing community will miss this fight It is always a bigger fight when boxers are coming from impressive performances in their last fights
And we have 4 boxers wanting to be on top, I think we can safely say that the heavyweight glory days are back, there were times that boxing fans preferred to watch and support fights coming from lighter divisions than heavyweight fights.

Zhang though is a big surprised to the Heavyweight division, but yes, this division is back again, with top and second tier boxers all has the potential to beat each other and fights are unpredictable and there could be surprises like Ngannou given by boxing fans a great chance to beat Joshua if he can land just one power punches and then we will see Joshua's reaction, it could be flashback for Joshua of the first Ruiz fight.

And then the Chinese big man, Zhang proving his win against Joyce is no fluke. And who ever wins here can crack the top 3-4 in the Heavyweight division and then have a chance to fight for the belt next.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Kambosos - May 12 IBF Lightweight Title on: January 18, 2024, 08:23:26 PM
We don't want to see another Jeff Horn vs Pac scenario here. So hopefully Loma will ensure that this fight is not gonna reach the judges scorecards. Personally, I feel like Loma could be robbed again in different place, so it's too risky for him to rely only on the decision of the judges.


That's already in the books, people will not forget that, and everytime we hear a fight held in Australia, we could be a little doublful of the outcome. What they did to Pacman was an obvious robbery, and with that, they also destroyed their reputation.

Quote
With that said, I think Loma by KO is the best bet.

I don't know what the odds is yet but I'm willing to follow.

Loma's last TKO win was in 2021 while Kambosos hasn't been KO in his career, so I'm sure the odds will be attractive.

There will be a lot of Australians in the undercard, like the Moloney's, so if will be ashamed if they will do a homecook like what this did against the legendary Manny Pacquiao. And to be fair, Tim Tzsyu has been fighting in Australia and it seems everything is not biased.

But if we talked about thet fight, if Loma's last TKO win was in 2021, and Kambosos hasn't been KO in his career, then it's safe to say that if Loma wins then it will be a unanimous decision or the fight going to the judges scorecard?

Rumor months ago was that it was supposed to be Shakur to fight Loma but instead, Loma chose Kambosos. Maybe he figured he wouldn't have a problem beating George
after all, Geroge is not a KO finisher and he is much older than Shakur so he could likely defeat Kambosos.   

If Loma couldn't KO or win more rounds then it could be a win for George by decision. Loma not winning this fight is nowhere else to go. He has to win otherwise it will be a series of loss.

It's hard to make that fight though, and although they are in Top Rank stable, Arum might not be ready for it as he is building Shakur's name to be his next cash cow when Loma retires. So he pitted Kambosos, less risk big reward for Loma, and most likely as we have predicted, he can win that IBF belt.

But I do agree that it's more pressure on the side of Loma here, he is not getting any younger, one of the most decorated amateur, become a champion in pro, but his main goal according to him is to be undisputed but he wasn't able to accomplished that.  But he can still be a champion if he can beat a still young fighter in George Kambosos and maybe after that if he got the belt, the camp of Shakur will be ready for him.

And this is what Beterbiev says, a potential fight with Bivol,

Quote
“He talk always like this,” Beterbiev said.  “Last five years, or four years, he tell everyone that he gonna fight next fight with me. Now he says—I have fight, [in the] next two weeks, and he says he already signed with me a contract. How can he sign a contract with me? Because I have another fight. He’s a real boxer you know.

“It’s always like this, with boxers,” Beterbiev quipped.

https://www.boxingscene.com/beterbiev-taunts-bivol-last-five-years-hes-telling-everyone-he-gonna-fight-me-next--180757

So this is already creating a lot of buzz as we can say that he is hyping this fight already or he is really interested on a unification fight. And yes he could be provoking Bivol with this statement and I think the feeling is mutual with Bivol and again as I have said in another thread, they can set aside their geo-political and boxing politics aside when big money is on the line and everyone taking a slice on that big pie that the Saudi's are offering in the boxing world.
358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 17, 2024, 11:27:41 PM
According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.

Ok, the question is what if he is approach by those person who hired him to take those contrabands? Did those people at least compensated him when his bus what confiscated by the authorities? Did the police didn't take him in jail for finding contraband in his bus? And what if this person/s learn that he did win big and that's why he was able to buy a new bus? His life could be in danger by talking to this bad individuals already.

But in any case, it's good for him to win and started his business again. This are the things that we want in gambling, getting lucky and winning so that we will have a good life or at least provide for our families.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

I know what you are going thru, I think majority here has that kind of uncontrollable urge to gambling. And when I said to myself that I don't want or going to quit gambling for good, I will be tempted once again to gamble as everything is very accessible right now. What I do is set up a budget and try to play along that line.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.

Perhaps you need to change your environment, or maybe do some meditation. But then again, I have seen worst already and one reason that I have controlled my addiction like years ago is that I lose my job. Meaning I don't have the means to make money, hence continue to gamble. But in your case it could be different, so maybe talk to your family or as I have said, change everything so that it might help you forgot about gambling.

Well this is the original plan though, after Kambosos won against Teo Lopez, Loma is next in line. However, we all know that Loma went back to his native Ukraine to be in the frontline in the war and the career of this two goes on a lot of twist and turn, Kambosos losing twice to Haney including all the belts and then same with Loma, close one against Haney and failed to get the undisputed belt.

At least though, they have a chance to fight and it's all in-house money again for Bob Arum and Top Rank. But it's good that a belt is on the line here and winner becoming a champion again. But I think Loma's technical prowess and boxing IQ will prevail here. Kambosos have a hard time fighting against a boxer that moves a lot and it could be a target shooting for Loma here.
