There are accusations that have or cannot be resolved because they always ended up with your words against their words, players show screenshots of your proofs and even take up or accept KYC but in casinos cases, they just hold on to their words that the player has cheated, manipulated or exploited a bug without showing strong evidence like screenshots of the log they just hiding in their defense that they cannot show proofs and add further to protect the integrity of their platform, so the accusations remain open.
Many casino's defenses are like that.

And that is why we have casino's on the top tier as far as reputation goes and majority of us uses them here. So it's really up to you, even if the top tier casinos have accusations, depends whether you want to trust and use their system just because of this accusations.

And I'm not sure, I don't have the numbers but usually those who accused casinos have been caught red handed with cheating and yet they don't want to admit that and still pursue the case, just saying.

Well as a gamblers there are a lot of superstitions that we believed, I even see someone like holding some amulet or something when they go and play slots, lol. Nevertheless gambling is still based on luck, perhaps we just want to find ways to explain our losing and winning and we blame it all on some belief, specially some higher UP that might change the course of the game in our favor. And so if you feel that you are unlucky then you should stop so that their will be no more bleeding and play the next day and test again.

Everyone is talking about Tank Davis, however, it appears that much of us fans of boxing in the forum did not notice a very important fight for the IBF welterweight division. This is Boots Ennis vs. Karen Chukhadzhyan for the IBF interim welterweight championship.

Why the interim welterweight championship for IBF? This is because Errol Spence cannot make a mandatory defense for his IBF championship because he has another mandatory defense for his WBC championship. The IBF is also very strict and force Errol Spence to make his next mandatory defense against Boots Ennis or give the championship to Ennis.

I am very excited for this because I have told everyone many times that Boots Ennis is the boxer who can win against the kings of welterweight, Spence and Crawford.

In any case, my prediction is Boots will knockout Karen in round 1.

That's what they say, Boots is feared by many in the division. High risk for Karen. Boots stepping up against Spence or Crawford will be a bigger fight, but he can't be that comfortable at 147 against the top contender may at 154. There is just no offer for money to make but I think he'll get there after Ortiz.

This is not the highlight because Tank is the main event. Too late to create a thread.

I am not quite certain why anyone would consider if Chukhadzhyan is high risk or not because he is certainly a type of opponent who is below Boots' previous 2 opponents. He might also not be the main event, however, I reckon that he might give a better show than Tank Davis hehe. I speculate Hector Garcia might make it difficult for Davis and this fight might end with a decision. My bet is over 7.5 rounds.

It was Davis who win, Garcia didn't make it to the 8th rounds as he complain that he can't see. By the time of the stoppage, he was behind the scorecard of the 3 judges, so this win setup Davis for a Ryan Garcia fight sometime in the next couple of months.

In the Ennis vs Chukhadzhyan the outcome was not surprising, although Chukhadzhyan extended Ennis the full distance for the first time in his career. So no statement win for him. Nevertheless a win is a win.

Since the failure of centralized exchange (CEX) adoption, those holding cryptocurrencies have been far more concerned about storing cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges. I am one of the many holders in this regard. I store all my cryptocurrencies in Binance and Kucoin centralized exchanges, not in any other wallets.  I know keeping cryptocurrency in an online wallet is the same thing as keeping money in someone else's pocket.  But I don't know what to do, especially since cryptocurrency is completely illegal in my country, I can't share any steps directly with anyone.  Especially if he gets involved in legal trouble in my country, his life will end completely.  In this case I am looking for suggestions from senior members on how to get a hardware wallet completely hidden from the public eye.  Hardware wallets are commercially available here and there in other countries but hardware wallets are not commercially available in our country.  So can you give me a proper suggestion on how I can purchase a hardware wallet completely safely.

Possible to look for local sellers? at least trusted one before you buy a hardware for you. How about Amazon though?

And in any case, maybe you can read this one, https://www.ledger.com/academy/buying-a-ledger-from-a-third-party

Specially on how to spot a tampered Ledger or any hardware wallet. I will also refer you to this board if you have like technical questions,

Bear market came for a long time and it is necessary to be ready for it. In such situation it is necessary to be adopted for the bear market and continue to promote the project in all conditions offering useful tools and products and bonuses like this https://coinplay.com/bonus/welcome_bonus_casino_betting

Bear market is very difficult time for all cryptocurrency projects. It is very hard to attract money for development and many projects stop their developments because there are enough funds and support of community.

Because nobody knows how long the bear market will last it is very important to continue to develop the project during the bear market. Only the best projects will be able to survive during the bear market.

Yes, but projects can only do as much, if there are no backings, and if the price is not moving, some exchanges might delist them. So even if they are working very hard their project might not go end up very well.

But if they have perseverance and have the support, hopefully they can survived this bear market.

Maybe just another 15 months to go for us because by May next year the bitcoin halving will occur, and the bull run might commence after that.
1446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco on: January 07, 2023, 10:31:24 AM
Looking at the last fight of Loma, I think he is not in his prime anymore. The early 30s to mid-30s are the most common for most boxers to lose their primes. I believe Haney will be the stronger and faster guy and he will win against this version of Loma. As a huge fan of Loma since the start of his pro career, I hate to see him lose. Maybe Haney cannot make the weight and just move up. Cheesy

Haha you got me there! Grin

But anyway, I agree with you and as a fan of Lomachenko, it's really hard to see him on this phase where his prime years has ended quite early than expected despite the fact that he's still on his early 30s. I'm expecting that he will at least achieve the rank of Devin Haney before his career goes down but I think that's too much to ask because his recent fight reveals that he's not the kind of Loma we used to know. Devin Haney will definitely win this fight as Loma's sole advantage is his IQ in the ring, which Haney also got it and explains why he got the rank of being the undisputed in the lightweight division.

Not be easy for Haney to just move up in weight and forget about Loma or make it easy for Loma to take all the belts because that's what his goal is at 135 lbs. Loma is known as hi-tech so that says its, he is on a different level as setting up his power punches, the angle and the intangibles in the fight. So we shouldn't discount him just because of his last poor showing against a big and young fighter in Ortiz.

Well, there's only one way to find out if Loma is indeed way over his prime these days. I agree, let's just give the man some time to adjust because he's was probably struggling in that fight as he was away for some time because of the war that broke out in the north. Not underestimating him either, but just like how you describe Haney, he is truly different from the rest which explains why he is the undisputed in the lightweight division. It will be a tough challenge for Loma to fight a boxer that has an upgraded version of what he was in his younger years.

I do agree that Haney is different as compare to other champions, just like Floyd, only not a big puncher but he win fights by this defense first and then to counter. So it's just a question on how Loma has adjusted since his fight with Ortiz because we have to admit he didn't look good that some sports fans and analyst say that he is not his prime anymore. But we will see, this fight is for the undisputed and if Loma is really what he is, then he can go a notch on his skills and beat a prime Devin Haney.

A very bad loss for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Chicago Bulls.
That's how bad it gets whenever Joel Embiid is out. They got close to 8 points deficit but Zach LaVine didn't let them get too near. 41 points for Zach and it came mostly from his 11/13 three-point shooting. Wow!  Shocked

Yeah, I think without Joel, it will take a lot of effort from Harden to win this game against a tough Chicago Bulls. They have some momentum now going into this game and they carry it very well.

Lavine really takes over the game, but he has a lot of help from Vucevic, Patrick Williams and of course DeRozan.

Great escape win by the Knicks as well against the Raptors. Toronto coming back and cut the lead to 4, but was unable to score in the last 11 seconds as Barnes shot was too strong.
1448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: January 07, 2023, 09:31:54 AM
Well there is a new name popping around recently that Canelo is interested on fighting British contender John Ryder.

For sure it won't sit well on the winner of this fight, because we wanted if David Benavidez wins here, to fight Canelo. So it's a surprised if indeed Canelo will skip Bivol in his comeback fight and step aside the winner here and fight John Ryder.

I wouldn't be surprised though as we all know that Canelo is recovering from his injuries so he might as well take a light opponent first before taking either the winner of this fight or again avenge his defeat to Bivol.

As far as I know, Eddie Hearn and Canelo Alvarez's camp have said last year that Canelo won't be fighting a direct heavy opponent after his surgery because they needed to get him back to his feet first just to be safe and that he will be given a tune-up fight before he decides to face the winner of Plant-Benavidez fight or go for a rematch with Bivol. So, I'm thinking that maybe this is what they meant that time because John Ryder is not that kind of a risk to Canelo's throne, but I found out that Ryder have the WBO interim belt which kind of confusing.

Probably, but let's see how Canelo critics will take this, for sure they will give a lot of negative press for Canelo in he chooses this fighter. Which I had to admit I have to check his boxrec to see if he is worthy.

So he is the interim WBO belt, but it doesn't matter, but now we all know what they are fighting him. It's because of his injury and yeah probably a tune up and test how his hands were after the surgery. Maybe after this one he will fight either Bivol or the winner here. Canelo as well said that he wants to fight 3x a year so that is about the possibility for this year or at least 3x fight within 12 months.

Well, if Canelo can manage to make this tune-up fight happen before the 1st quarter of this year ends then I think he can do three fights this year. But that still depends though if how this fight will turns out because this is still a test for Canelo to see if his hands are working fine or should he needed some more rest to recover from the surgery. Either way, he will be fighting the winner of this fight or Bivol, that's for sure. The question is, who will be fighting first.

I agree, but for sure when he will fight when there is a green light from his doctor. But nevertheless it's a big risk for him as it might reoccur and that's why they are thinking of having just a easy and get busy fight with Ryder, (assuming this will be the case).

If Bivol decided to go down to 168 lbs and fight Canelo then for sure the belt of Canelo will be on the line, otherwise it's no point for Bivol to go down to 168 lbs because that is a big risk for him.
1449  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto payments for online purchases: Trends in 2022 on: January 06, 2023, 10:28:28 AM
This is the classic example of a crypto adoption, sooner or later if people around the world will take advantage of crypto as a online crypto payment then the trend will continue. The problem is just online retailers doesn't want to accept it right away. So just imagine if Amazon will suddenly change their stance and allow let's say Bitcoin or Ethereum as a gateway payment, it will be huge for us.

So let's see how it goes, I mean that there are websites that directly or indirectly accepts crypto as payment.

But still a small percentage if I'm not mistaken.
1450  Economy / Speculation / Re: January bitcoin price out look on: January 06, 2023, 09:54:08 AM
~21K by the end of the month

That is a bold prediction mate.

Even before the FTX incident occurred, the price of Bitcoin was already below what you mentioned as the $25,000 to $30,000 benchmarks. FTX added to the bearish sentiment but we were already in a bear market before it went bankrupt.

I am not really bullish for Bitcoin within January. I am not expecting too much. On the contrary I am expecting the price to just continue with its under $20,000 movement. It's probably sideway generally within the month. It could rise to as high as $18,000 but that's probably not the momentum we've all been waiting for.

Yes, at the start of the year we are someone feeling the bearish sentiments taking over and then the war happen and that's where the price started to make a nosedive. Then the cherry on top, the FTX collapse and suddenly the worst year for bitcoin as it went as low as $15,500. Right now the increase could go as high as $17k. If the market will continue it's ascend very slowly without any negative news around.

I'm not seeing $20k'ish this early.
1451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco on: January 06, 2023, 09:28:46 AM
This is going to be a tough fight for Lomachenko. If this fight really going to happen, then Lomachenko is going to be 35+ years already. While Haney only 24. I see that Lomachenko has difficulties against younger boxers (Lopez is a good example). I think the time will take its toll and in this fight Haney is going to win by decision. Loma is not in his prime anymore. He fights rarely. Compared to Haney, whos career is in prime. While this fight is not 100% confirmed, the time is working against Loma. 3-4 years ago I would go with Lomachenko, now I am in favor for Haney.
Lomachenko had a problem against Lopez because he claimed that he had an injury that time, so this time I believe he is already 100% healthy and there will be no more excuses in case he will lose against Haney. This could be a big fight for him but it's not new to him, maybe this is a tough fight for Haney too as I believe he hasn't face a boxer that is as smart as Loma.

He made a good comeback fight after that Lopez lost, he beat Nakatani and then Commey if my memory serves me right.

But against Ortiz it was a different Loma that we think he is no longer in his prime and others have said, 35 years old. So that is already a lot of wear and tear on his body. While Haney is young and very tall and a good boxer too, that's why this fight is going to be very difficult for Loma. And this could very well define his career, if ever he will beat a prime fighter.
This is a big test for Loma and I will trust him to win this fight because I believe that he will be listed as the underdog, and with that, it means the odds are very attractive while there's an assurance that the fight would be entertaining to watch. Haney maybe young and is on his prime, but he should not underestimate Loma as anything can happen.

Oh yes, for Loma backers here and for sure there are many from our boxing fans, it will be good to see him as the underdog, not that much though, probably in the 2.0x range or something. But still it's a good odds for us straight ML bet and just enjoy and wait for the results.

So it's a big test, and do hope that Loma is back mentally and physically. Ortiz fight is a different for him to that point that we judge him as no longer in his prime.

But I do believed that this is going to be a close fight and not going to be easy for Haney even if he turns to be the betting favorite.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: January 06, 2023, 09:12:43 AM

And that's the true advantage right there because even though Garcia have the size advantage, Davis here is already accustomed fighting with that scenario and surely he prepared for it because he knows that there will be some times that he'll get to fight with other boxers that are much taller than him and he doesn't want that his size will be the one who will give him the disadvantage despite the KO power he had.

The reach difference isn't small, and I think that is what Ryan Garcia is working out.  Making use of all his advantages.  If executed properly, I think Gervonta Davis may have difficulty moving around and closing into Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia should be careful and I expect the best from him because he had to cancel his fight with Mercito Gesta just train and prepare straightly for his fight with Tank Davis. And yes, I also think that this bout won't be needing a full 12 rounds.

This skipped fight with Ryan Garcia may take a toll on him.  The fight against Gesta is a good way to test his training, there is a possibility of signs of ring rust too because of too much idleness before Ryan's fight against Gervonta.  I think Ryan is getting too confident that can possibly work against him.

I agree, if Ryan will take that advantage of is, being long and used his jab even further in this fight, stiff and strong jab that will let Davis very uncomfortable and can't execute his game play then Ryan might have a chance to win.

And then probably Davis will adjust too maybe in the middle of the fight, maybe put more pressure on Ryan and push him to make that one mistake and then he deliver his knock out, just like what he did against Romero. Very cautious but then when Rolly goes after him, Davis saw that opportunity. So there could be rounds of adjustment for both fighter, and it could be a chess match in the beginning.

However if Tank begins to pressure Ryan, it might also give Ryan some opportunities for a step back before left hook. How is Tank Davis' jaw because it might be also be his test. There are already many people who speculate that Ryan has a glass jaw, but how is Tank's jaw?

According to this article Ryan wants Tank to knock out Hector Garcia out cold hehe. Is Ryan pressuring Tank?



“I want Tank to knock [Hector Luis Garcia] out cold. It will make out fight even bigger,” said Ryan Garcia via ESPN

Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/01/ryan-garcia-wants-tank-davis-to-ko-hector-to-make-their-fight-bigger/

Probably, Ryan Garcia was just messing Tank Davis in his head to finish the fight much earlier than anybody is expecting it to be. This young blood should just focus in his preparation for their upcoming fight because I bet he will be having some mental issues again if he will get embarrassed in this fight, too playing won't help him in his goal because Tank Davis is a critical thinker, he can't fathom it because Ryan Garcia is yet to come in that state.
Talking about their jaw, Ryan was already revealed that his jaw can be crack easily, while Davis's jaw is still unknown but I reckon is much sturdier than the Ryan.

I don't think he is messing though, I mean that's what he has been saying for many years, 2 rounds and he will knockout Davis. Perhaps this was due to Ryan knocking out opponents in round 1 back to back. I remember Duno, who also says that he will knock out Ryan, but he was done in round 1 and that makes Ryan very confident in knocking down his opponent early. He was crack by Luke Campbell, but he has great recuperating power from a punch, because after that big test, he was able to knockout Campbell with that huge body punch in the ribs.
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 06, 2023, 08:56:22 AM
Unfortunately I was not able to watch this whole Celtics vs Mavericks game, but I saw in some highlights that Marcus Smart played well, and mainly his main characteristic which is his defense, worked well in this game, because I also agree that "only" 23 points for Luka it's not much, I immediately imagined that for this to have happened either Luka played badly or he was very well guarded.

Good thing you didn't watch the game but it turns out it was just a boring game. Honestly, I didn't expect that the Mavericks will lose by blowout in that game, they were playing very well at home, so I was expecting that they will at least make it tougher for the Celtics to beat them.

And isn't it in their home court? so fans are disappointed for sure to see their team lost his big as if there was no energy on the Mavs itself. And this is what we are talking earlier that when Luka doesn't get any help, their team will be doom.

So for him to score in 23 points is not that much for team to win the game. And so we go back as who will actually need to step and help him out specially in crucial games down the line.

And this could very well define his career, if ever he will beat a prime fighter.

Well, sports analyst thinks that prime age range is 25-33, and Loma in age of 35, it is possible that he is on the decline of his prime.  Although I think this can be solved by training and conditioning, there is no doubt that Loma's performance is pretty mediocre during his last fight.  If Loma plays the same, I think he will be eaten whole by Devin Haney.  Devin Haney aside from being the larger player, he is also known for his defensive play and counters that render his opponent unable to connect or score a good punch.  Loma need to level up his performance if he needs to beat Devin Haney in this match.

Loma though has started a different kind of training with his father, unorthodox, I can't confirm though, maybe he was really affected by his father not training him, can someone confirmed me if his long time trainer and coach Anatoly Lomachenko is in his side in the Ortiz fight.

So it's a mental thing for Loma right now, and that's why others said that he is no longer in his prime.

But maybe the absence of his father could have a negative impact on him, hence his poor performance, in my opinion.

One of the best things that happened to our financial well being is getting to use & have bitcoin plus other cryptos of course, and the privilege  of some privacy as we spend and receive without giving out personal information thanks to its pseudo nature . But one business industry that has built its success around this are mixers, how do these guys really make their money without really advertising aggressively to increase their profit margins and who are the most likely clients to this business... And lastly in terms of protecting a user's footprints, can a domain host give (sell) out this information to third parties ?

Some mixers ask for donations, others charge for a small fee. I think some of them are doing promotions outside of this forum and maybe in our social media as well.

I don't think that a mixer is selling info to 3rd parties, I haven't heard this from a mixer, shutdown or still alive as of this time. Of course they have logs but they are destroyed right away as they don't keep it because they know that maybe some government agencies are watching them and they don't want to compromise their clients.

As much as we wanted to be as the main source of payments, there are a lot of challenges that we have to face, like the volatility and not everyone are willing to accept it. Not sure what you mean by paper money disappearing though, central banks are not going to allow it.

For 2023, the prediction might still be the same, it could trade sideways for the whole year as we are still in the bear market.

So still we better prepared again, who knows, maybe there could be events like FTX that will make a huge impact on the price again and see another lowest for 2023 before eventually rising up next year. But with regards to Elon Musk, he has no influence on the bitcoin market.

Ryan Garcia taking aim at Tank and says that he will finished him in 2 rounds, hehehe

Quote
“Prediction for the fight – I say I'll beat him in about two rounds,” Garcia told The Joe Pomp Show.

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-predicts-hell-ko-tank-2-rounds-hes-never-faced-adversity-risk-ring--171581

Ryan already hyping himself in this fight, saying that he will finished him in 2 rounds. I doubt though, Davis is known to be very cautious in the early rounds of his fight, just trying to figure out his opponents before making any adjustments. Specially if his opponent is someone of a knock out artist, just like in the Romero fight wherein he started very slow and trying not to get caught with big punch early. And we wanted the fight a bit longer, so that they will bring the best out of this two boxers.

Big words for a young man that hasn't yet fought any tough opponents in his whole career and saying that he can finish a fight in mere 2 rounds against Tank Davis. Now, I know that he's just trying to hype himself and to market their future fight even though it's not yet fixed but those words are too far from reality because Davis is no ordinary boxer that he can defeat that easily. He may have the size but the IQ belongs to the title holder.

Lol, but yes this is true, Ryan Garcia's mouth is to big for him and probably this is the reason why he is called social media king because when he opens his mouth, it's all about hyping his fight and what not.

But he hasn't proved anything, yeah, me made a comeback and his mental issues is behind him.

Nevertheless, he hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10 or the 135 lbs to just talk smuck to Davis like that. We will see Tank's reply in his next fight against Hector Garcia this weekend.

This is going to be a tough fight for Lomachenko. If this fight really going to happen, then Lomachenko is going to be 35+ years already. While Haney only 24. I see that Lomachenko has difficulties against younger boxers (Lopez is a good example). I think the time will take its toll and in this fight Haney is going to win by decision. Loma is not in his prime anymore. He fights rarely. Compared to Haney, whos career is in prime. While this fight is not 100% confirmed, the time is working against Loma. 3-4 years ago I would go with Lomachenko, now I am in favor for Haney.
Lomachenko had a problem against Lopez because he claimed that he had an injury that time, so this time I believe he is already 100% healthy and there will be no more excuses in case he will lose against Haney. This could be a big fight for him but it's not new to him, maybe this is a tough fight for Haney too as I believe he hasn't face a boxer that is as smart as Loma.

He made a good comeback fight after that Lopez lost, he beat Nakatani and then Commey if my memory serves me right.

But against Ortiz it was a different Loma that we think he is no longer in his prime and others have said, 35 years old. So that is already a lot of wear and tear on his body. While Haney is young and very tall and a good boxer too, that's why this fight is going to be very difficult for Loma. And this could very well define his career, if ever he will beat a prime fighter.

And so the trend continues with high caliber NBA players pushing their limit, Giannis against the Wizards, 55 points, 10 boards, 7 assists. I know, this is payback time for Giannis as some of the bettors are made against him not playing the last time because of the late news about his injuries and so majority of us lost our parlay and singles bet.

As for the Mitchell drug tested, I think it's fair, I didn't click on the link but what is the NBA looking for as a sort of performance enhancing drugs in basketball?

The top players score 40-50+ points more and more often. It seems that there will come a moment soon when fans will no longer be surprised by such performances. Honestly, I think the trend is not that players are pushing their limits but that the NBA is getting softer and softer every year. I mean, 50+ points was a rarity and a difficult task for many players 15-20 seasons ago. However, the current top players can score the same number of points somehow too easily.
Maybe I'm wrong, and someone will disagree with me, but that's my feeling on the playing style of players in the NBA at the moment.

It's obvious that the game has change a lot since the 80-90's where some of us grew watching the NBA. Perhaps we could count players reaching 40+ points around that era.

Could be that the NBA is getting softer, and sooner we might see this being the norm and who knows, if the once Kareem Abdul Jabbar's untouchable record is going to be broken by Lebron, maybe we can see Wilt's 100 points also been broken in the near future?
