821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 30, 2022, 06:33:58 PM

Casimero, being in the opponent's home court, he needs to make sure his actions inside the ring.

Exactly, he cannot just be complacent, if possible he should KO Butler, so a possible favoritism on the fight by the judges will not happen. Casimero is the defending champion here but he is going to be in the territory of the enemy, so he has to ensure his win and that is by KO.

If that's the case, then Casimero should be extremely careful as anything could happen in this fight especially if there's a possible favoritism and Casimero is the defending champion that's why his best option is to knock Butler out and not via unanimous decision so that there would be no error in the scorecards and there's no room to play favoritism.

I hope that this match would be fair for both of them. Casimero has been too dedicated in his fights so I'm sure that despite his opponent's edges, he could still win this match. Lots of people believe in him and I guess, he will do everything not to fail or disappoint his supporters.

We'll let's hope that there would be no favoritism in this fight but Casimero and his team should be careful and ready if those instances or situations will arise, that's why a KO would be a big help to secure the fight in his favor. Yes, we know that Casimero is very dedicated and eager to get in this fight because this is his only hope to stand tall in the industry.

Nothing is assured that everything would increase and that you should really put up into your mind so thaht you wouldnt really be execting that much.
I understand, but why not? Investing is actually exciting especially in crypto or bitcoin, if you are not that really excited on what will be your profit in the next 5 years, then better to do something else than investing your money in this space.

Well, bitcoin in the last five years grows a lot like, it's just 1k per btc way back then but look it now it grows 30+ folds even it dumps from 40k still that's huge amount to consider. See, this $100 might be worth +$3k in the next 5 years.

Yes, there's no assurance if we could really take some serious profits in this space and that's exactly the reason why there are some risks involved. Also, we can't really blame them if that's what they think because it's their money and not ours. While bitcoin is already historically proven that we could see some profits in the future if we could just patiently hold it even there are times that the market would dip, just like what we experienced now.

Just surprised that the Nets was able to come back in this game.

The last time I checked the score was 70-51 Warriors leading in the 3rd quarter with 7 minutes to go. It's good that your live betting didn't went it, it happens to me sometimes as the odds changes very quick and then the line open and closes very fast as well. Going back to the game, it was just 4 point win for the Warriors? And Curry just scored 19 points?

In this match, the distribution of points in Golden State Warriors was quite good. Not only one player scored, many contributed very well to the point. Andrew Wiggins recorded a team-high 24 points.
In the game, Nets had a hard time finding points in one section, unfortunately, the number of players who can score is not very many except Irving and Mills. But Irving played incredible and gave the team the energy they needed in the final period, they were so close to winning the game

Even the bench players of the Warriors are a threat to any team they face and they don't heavily rely on their star players, instead they're focusing to contribute more in the games so that their main players can have a rest too and that's what makes the Warriors tougher than ever.
While the Nets are really outnumbered this time but I'm impressed about Irving and Mills, a very close game indeed!

The game between the Nets and the Warriors was truly a match to watch! Even if Curry and Kay had an off-night with only 19 and 16 points respectively, they show on why they can be a threat to the opposing team. The Warriors had a lead of 19 points on the 3rd quarter but they somehow blew such lead which gave Nets the momentum to lead by the 4th quarter. Kyrie was a beast especially on the last quarter, but Klay sealed the deal when he made that dagger on the final seconds on the last quarter.

Again, this is a game without Durant on the floor but I just hope that Warriors will continue this momentum from now.

Indeed mate, Andrew Wiggins had the spotlight on this game as he was scorching hot since the 1st quarter until the end. He is now proving himself why he deserved the spot to be a part of the 1st five in the WCF All Star game as he led the team in todays match and made 24 points with 8 impressive rebounds. But I'm still amazed about the Nets as they continue to chase the GSW until the end and they almost managed to defeat the GSW even without Harden and KD.

I think it made a lot of noise when he gets the nod for being a All Star starter this year. So he has to proved it. And so every game, he is scoring with every possession and I think this is what the Warriors also wanted him to do. In the end, it was still Warriors to win, although the Nets try to steal one for the Warriors, but Steph and Klay wouldn't allow that to happen in their home court.

He should! If he really wants the people to accept the fact that he deserved the spot, then he should earn it by proving his skills every game before the All Star game commence. Either way, the GSW always benefit from that as they have another contributor to achieve the win they wanted and ofcourse grab the #1 spot again in the WCF.

827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Shiba Inu Coin a better investment than Dogecoin? on: January 29, 2022, 10:11:26 AM
just look at the 3 months performance of DOGE, you know where it's going.
The price movement goes down and down again when there is no hype to raise the price, the bear market has made it fall deeper because it has a bad impact on tokens without a valid use case, when coin memes are quiet from crypto news impacting their value will always decrease.
That's what meme coins are like and with the current downturn in the market it seems too risky to buy meme coins whether it's dogecoin or shiba inu,
we don't know what it will be like if conditions are still like this,
important thing to consider before making a decision
first of all, I will say this is the time to buy some of the major coins but speaking of meme coins, I will also say that even though they might seem to be the most hit by the downturn of the market, If I were to invest in Meme coin, Shiba Inu is the best option and I would even buy some now. This is an effect on the whole market and not particular to some projects and Shiba can make it through.

Just my thought though.

There's nothing wrong on buying and investing some into meme coins like SHIB and DOGE as long as you always remember that these coins are heavily manipulated by whales especially Elon Musk on Dogecoin and there's really nothing much to expect. Other than that, it's always better to invest on major coins as you call it because such coins like BNB, ADA, and ETH do really have some potential to give you competitive returns in the future especially Bitcoin. My advice is, buy what you can afford now while it's cheap before the market recovers.

Curry - Thompson duo was great last night and it was promising for the coming games too. I really missed to watch these two players playing at the same time. Thompson is getting better by every game and it is nice to see. He is one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA now and he is a very important player for Warriors. In the absence of him, Curry had to carry the team but thankfully he did a great job. Because he is just an insane player. But this wouldn't have gone like this all the time in the playoffs too.
Looks like the splash brothers are back, this is their 2nd game where they dominate their opponent, their 3 point shooting is just flawless and Thompson seems to be very confident now and his shots are really falling. I like this team, they look like the old warriors, a team that is almost unbeatable.

Klay Thompson is in fact showing some really nice improvement since he returned this season, there maybe some setbacks and adjustments but that didn't last long and now they're slowly coming back dominating almost every team they've faced and will face. They are on their 4th win streak now and crawling to have the #1 spot on the Western Conference again. We'll see on Sunday in their face off against the Nets if they'll will be that consistent.

Yes, Warriors is getting better again, what we have a witness from the last night's game is what we really wanted

them to perform, all cast rotations and everyone is sharing their respective role, so far, after Klay's comeback
we can say that this is very familiar with us.

The Splash bro is doing good and the contributions are increasing. With that, we will see them completely back
in action, waiting for Green and Iggy to join the reunion..

It's hard not to notice the GSW's performance vs Timberwolves, this team is indeed getting better again and now Klay's average PPG is 15.8
The Splash Brothers is now active and again a threat in the league, especially when Green returns because they'll be more tougher and stronger together as they're hard to guard. Can't wait to see them again playing tho!
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 29, 2022, 07:31:36 AM

Exactly, Keith Thurman isn't that good anymore, we can really see the way how he move in his last fight against Manny Pacquiao, he's slowly decaying and the fact the haven't got a fight since 2019 will be his disadvantage in the ring unlike Mario Barrios who had professional fights every year since his debut on 2013. Aside from that fact, Barrios has the upper hand here in this fight also the reach.
Either way, seems like Thurman is just chasing the money in this business and trying to use his name even if the lose or win.

We can see if they really put some huge effort into their training when they step in the ring because if they show the same moves and skills as their last fights, that will be their big mistake because their opponent can easily predict where they going and how to counter their moves. No matter how experienced both of them are in the ring, if they only show the same style, the match would end early. I still wanted to see Thurman fight after this though he cannot assure to win this one. I'm sure that if he wins this fight somehow, will give himself some boost of confidence to take on another championship fight.

As for Thurman, I can't say that we have a lot to expect from him and as I've stated that he haven't got any professional fights since Pacquiao defetead him last July 2019, just that fact alone, we already know what would be the repercussions for being inactive in the industry. But still Barrios should see that Thurman isn't any ordinary boxer because the Thurman's experience can vouch for that.

Panic  sell only makes the market and things worse, I'm always optimistic that a bad market like this week is normal, I even had one day the market dropped more than 30% and I bought again, after a month it was proven that the market could skyrocket and I got big profit.

Well, we can't really blame them that they had sold their assets or coins when the market depreciates because not all investors have a good mindset like you mate. Lucky for the ones who truly understand how the market works as the the market will surely recover.
Let's just stay optimistic and have the patience to hold in times like these, or better yet buy while it's much cheaper.
831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 27, 2022, 08:15:51 AM
Both of these fighters are coming from the only loss of their exciting boxing careers but I think Keith Thurman is already losing his old boxing prowess. Even during his match against Manny Pacquiao, Thurman is noticeably not his old self anymore. He is also not anymore as busy as a fighter for the past years. This will have an effect to his boxing skills. He must already be rusty as a boxer. So I will give my prediction to Barrios winning this match.

Exactly, Keith Thurman isn't that good anymore, we can really see the way how he move in his last fight against Manny Pacquiao, he's slowly decaying and the fact the haven't got a fight since 2019 will be his disadvantage in the ring unlike Mario Barrios who had professional fights every year since his debut on 2013.

If I'm not mistaken, practices are still limited to 5-10 guys on the court? Am I right?

The rotations would be bad but at least teams are getting practices. Imports needs this as they didn't know well the performance of his teammates.

Unfortunately, the set-up of practices are only limited to 7 people together with their head coach and 1 safety officer. So, only the first 5 players including the imports can do that said practice, sure their rotations won't be as great than what they're used to but they don't have any choice as group workouts are still limited in numbers. Also, they're only given 10 days worth of practice before the games resume.
This is why the main players should have more exposure on the practice so they can be good in court but of course I’m pretty sure other players are also given a time to practice since they are part of the team and if things didn’t go the right way, they are the one to fill the blanks. Its good to hear that PBA already have a schedule to resume the conference, wishing for a smooth comeback.


They needed to have that practices too, but main gunners are the priorities for now, it's just more than a week and we will see PBA
back in action. With the preparations coming from all the teams, we will expect some new playing styles, though it's not the same
as the last time due to this omicron, but knowing that they are back and resume, the games are more than okay.

NLEX and Gin kings are hot, but we know both TNT and SMB are both capable of chasing the title.

We will see which team will excel and advance to the next round.. Tongue Roll Eyes


Local main players do need some practice for a good rotation and rhythm when the season resumes, that said, imports also need to the practice to know the capabilities and strengths in their respective team. There's nothing really to expect as of now because their practices aren't  the same as they used to. But yes, as long as we can see them back in action again is what matters the most.

We can conclude that TNT and SMB are tough but there's some other teams too who could show some improvements too, somehow it's early to predict things. We'll just see it soon.

Elsewhere, with Giannis in the starting line up for the Bucks tonight, I'll be going with the Bucks -4.5 vs the Cavaliers.

GL!

This one IMO is safer, I'm taking it as I believe that the Bucks would win tonight and will dominate the Cavaliers. Though on the road, Bucks would definitely gonna crush the Cavaliers and Giannis would be unstoppable once again.

The last time they meet, the Cavaliers beat them (MIL 90 - CLE 119), so it's about time for them to payback and beat the Cavaliers on their home.

Unfortunately we lost today mate, I really thought so too that the Bucks will have the control of the game and defeat the Cavaliers on their home as a revenge because yeah the Bucks have been defeated last time they met. But as I saw the game today, seems the Cavaliers is the one who dominates the game especially Love and Osman and bury the Bucks every quarter.
Final score is 115 - 99 in favor of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Lakers winning is a great thing for them, with AD back and all they will need a few more wins, but looking at the 6th spot, Denver is a lot more ahead and I do not think that Lakers could be there anymore. It is either 8th or 7th for Lakers if you ask me, and that is "usually" means first round exit.
There are still plenty of games and the competition is very tight, so even if the Lakers now do not have a good standing, with consistency in winning, they could be in the top 4. As long as AD also remains healthy, they are a stronger team as Lebron does not have to carry the burden every time they have a game. AD might not be in his full capacity but his presence is merely enough to give the team the energy they needed to win.

I agree that there is very strong competition in the Western Conference. Therefore, it won't matter if the Lakers finish in 4th or 8th place in the conference standings at the end of this season. I mean, the Lakers can lose to any top team in the first round of the playoffs because they still haven't improved their team chemistry.

Indeed, WCF has a lot of tough teams that's why being consistent will really put such teams in a tight spot. Just like Lakers now, they're currently placed on 9th spot in WCF but if they continue to beat weaker teams and especially tougher teams, they'll be placed on the 5th if they're lucky. But yes, doesn't matter if Lakers will finish 7th or 8th as long as they can participate in playoffs and they have still a lot to prove this season.

This picture shows well the era when bitcoin was not taken seriously. Few understood the potential of this asset at all. As a result, at current prices, the winner received 2 000 times less than the loser. Cheesy

Indeed, who would've thought that those 25 BTC as a consolation prize will turn into an almost $1 Million today. Hopefully, atleast one of those participants had successfully hold the said bitcoins for atleast 10 years and that their life was changed because of it.
I'm also guilty about this because bitcoin was introduced to me way back 2015 when bitcoins was valued $10k+, if I'm not mistaken. But sadly, it didn't got my attention because I just saw it as another form of scam and I was so busy on other things to like getting real money at that time. To make the story short, I began using bitcoin and this forum early 2018 and the rest was history, bitcoin also changed my life.

Losing this 3 games, Lakers will be on the 9th spot. Hard to advance catching up with the standing.

They still have the chance to win when they put some effort to consider how to fix their games and fix those high rates missing shots which makes them look bad and the last missed dunk attempt was the most hilarious. right now their playoffs spot is in jeopardy if they lose more games than winning these coming days while the other teams keep pushing forward. Nevertheless, they still playing well but struggling in the last quarter makes them prone to always losing.

Bro, they have been exerting efforts already to win games, look at what numbers Lebron is putting up this season, it's close to his career high. The problem is with the rest of the players in Lakers. Westbrook, Anthony, THT and even Monk should do their best every game. Unfortunately, they are struggling to put good numbers to help Lebron. Even at their home court, they are not playing very well.

Exactly! But their efforts doesn't make them to win games, and as usual, LeBron is still the biggest contribution and you're right mate, he's figures this season is much more higher just to carry the team. But unfortunately, the other players we're struggling to give their part to help LeBron secure the game. Consistency is what they need, those players that have been mentioned are atleast needed to have double figures in every game.
837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 24, 2022, 12:52:54 PM
^^ That's why AD is still the missing link in the puzzle for the Lakers.

He is still on the injured list so they are terribly missing his services right now as others that is expected to help Lebron is not stepping up or very inconsistent.

Only Lebron is doing very hard for the team, but we all know that he can't do it by himself. Malik Monk only scored 7 points , THT 5 points. And those two should be like at least 15 each in this game to help Lebron.

I thought Davis will be able to come back in this game, but he didn't make it, maybe next game he will be coming back as the Lakers badly need him for them to start winning consistently. As we all expect, Lakers can't beat a good team or a playoff team and they fall to the Heat this time.

The Lakers will win consistently If AD will be consistent in his return as well. Remember how bad AD was playing before he got injured. The guy seems contented with just 1 ring and stopped being competitive. I hope that's not gonna be the case once he return, because this Laker team has really became hopeless, and only AD's return is the most anticipated thing for the Lakers to possibly put a turn around with their current situation.

I wonder if Anthony Davis could really keep up when he returns from his injury, could he really help the team win or would he become an another puzzle to solve just like KT's situation? Because I'm afraid that the burden is too heavy for him as his return is the most anticipated thing to happen in the league now.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Source: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/1992786/anthony-davis/

I also read about this and that's why I'm quite confident about my bet on Mia @ -2 , AD's knee is still questionable and certainly can't play against the Heats today. Good thing I did bet on Miami Heat, LAL is just 6 points shy and that's enough to cover the -2 spread on the Heat.

As for the Warriors against the Jazz, I did let it slide for now as the GSW now is quite unpredictable and inconsistent since KT returned.

Thanks for that reference and yes, you did a great job betting with the Heat even with that handicap,

Fully covered as how you said it, Robinson and Butler lead them with their offense just noticed that Herro and Lowry are not there
but still even with shallow rotations, Heat manages to win this one from the Lakers.

LeBron and Russ try to do their best, but the other role players are not. They can't carry the game if your opponent is there competing
much harder than what you are doing..

You're welcome and thank you @Pamadar Smiley

I could really say that the Lakers this season is somehow predictable, and the fact that they've lost to a much weaker team make sense that they can't defeat a much stronger and tougher team in the league even if the opposing team also has missing players. Russ was slowly making some play and almost made a triple double but yea it ain't enough as the other players aren't doing their part. But Jimmy Butler on the other hand, made a triple double and as you said with Duncan Robinson who helped securing the win.

We'll see what would be the spread on Wednesday, but for tomorrow, the game is LA Lakers vs Miami Heat and the spread is +/-2
The Miami Heat have lost against the Hawks, a much weaker team with a .444 percent play but we can't also the deny that the Lakers is also struggling and they have a much weaker defense than the Heat. So, my bet would be MIA @ -2

News also spreading that AD's comeback is still questionable.

If he's back, the spread and ML will be change a lot, he's a game changer. The presence of a two-way player is very important
considering that he's one of the stars of this team.

I check this game during the live telecast, it's tough to bet as early as now, we never know yet if AD will be present or not.

Congratulations to Mark Magsayo, you're now a world champion!

it is undeniable that magsayo also has strength but his endurance is better I think.
and yes, if you say experience, of course russell is superior and in terms of age he is also more mature but this can be used as a challenge for magsayo whether he can make something here, especially in balancing the experience that russell has.
I'm impressed with his endurance, his speed and strength, we all can say that he's well prepared for this match. And do you think guys that his age is a big factor against Russell? He's 26 years old while Russell is 33 years old.

Indeed, Magsayo had really prepared well to fight Gary and become a world champion.
As expected, Gary Russell was experiencing some ring rust while on the other hand, Mark Magsayo was so confident about the fight and we could really see in the first few rounds that Magsayo has the upper hand and Russell was struggling to catch up on Magsayo's moves. But I'm really disappointed about how the judges scored the fight, it was the total opposite on how did the match go.

Congratulations again, Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo on becoming a world champion!
