We have Ginebra vs Magnolia next game.
What's your pick guys? I think I like the Magnolia here, they lose to the TNT and I believe they will bounce back to win.
Right now they are +2.5 but I will take the moneyline, I think it's where public will find Ginebra very attractive but I'll go the other way.

I looked at the OP's post, the odds of the Warriors that time was; 4- Warriors >8.50 Whoever won that kind of odds is a lucky better, congratulations to you, you also deserve to celebrate because you trusted the Warriors when they were not the favorite to win the championship. That wasn't luck after all because the chance of Warriors getting into the playoffs and Finals was good. But at that time, it takes enough guts and courage to have that bet as it's still not that sure that they could really get in as the other teams in the league are also good. So, congratulations again OP for having a strong faith for the Golden State Warriors  Getting that odds really says OP has faith on the Warriors. Now that the Warriors have already won the championship again, they just proved that even without Durant, they can still win a championship, and Curry is the better player than Durant, so he deserves all the praise in the NBA. Next season we are not going to see that kind of odds again as obviously the Warriors will be the heavy favorite to win the championship. I think if we like to get a good odds, we should not bet on the Warriors, we have to choose another team that we think has a shot on winning the championship. Here's the 2023 NBA Title odds. https://www.nba.com/nbabet/2023-nba-title-odds-warriors-celtics-among-championship-favoritesTEAM ODDS
Warriors +600
Celtics +600
Nets +600
Clippers +600
Bucks +750 |

There's a rumor that Andrew Wiggins might be potential trade due to increasing salary wage of Warriors. They need to trade someone to resolve this and Wiggins has the high chance rate to be trade since Warriors will not gonna let go there Big 3. I don't know if this will commence but I believe this possible since Warriors has really have a high salary cap right now and this is not healthy to there franchise.
I won't be surprised if there will be an actual trade for him. He's now going to get the attention after they've taken the championship this final. We don't know what it will be I guess this is an early expectation and we just have to wait for a few more weeks or a month to see such news like this. Yup, rumors will circulate and with his performance this last season, interest to bring him in will flow. It will depend on the Warriors team owner if how they will handle his case, if Wiggins will be after for the money, Max contract or a good long-term deal should be on the table. Unless he will be wanting for more rings, staying inside Warriors and adjust to the amount the team can offer him, just like how Tim Duncan did when he still playing for the Spurs. He adjusts to meet the salary cap. Warriors kept Durant, so there's a chance that they will keep Wiggins, though I must say that the Warriors were unbeatable with Durant playing on the team, Wiggins is also a big peace in the roster that makes the team successful. Well, the management will decide and for sure it will be for the improvemnet of the team. Well, let's look at the Warriors salary. https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/gs/sort/salary/dir/desc/salaryWiggins are earning $30 million + per season, that's really huge, so trading him will give the Warriors more advantage to acquire more players that could help them improve their defense. Though they won the championship but we show their weakness on some games, good thing they have Curry who are always willing to show his greatness when it's needed the most. Durant was receiving at least $40 million per season when he was still playing with the Warriors if I'm not mistaken. But that $30 million is still big enough though. For the 2021-2022 season, Warriors are the top paying team for the salaries of the players according to https://boardroom.tv/nba-team-salaries-2022/They paid $184,024,769, while Brooklyn Nets are in the 2nd place with $172,836,362. |

Maybe if we can win, we need to calculate how much money we have spent to get that win and how often we can win that amount of money.
That way, we can see and calculate how likely we are to win the money next time and if we can be wise, we will always try to control our spending.
This is what we as gamblers need to realize so that we don't really lose in gambling but just want to have fun playing gambling.
It wouldn't work because you will get a different pattern and you can't make a decision based on that, I ever doing this to record my gambling activities before, but I didn't do it again anymore. Let's say on the day one, you won the biggest multiplier on the 50 spin, the day two, you won the biggest multiplier on the 70 spin. Now the day three, you won the biggest multiplier on your second spin. It's just purely of luck and there's no such pattern. Yes, there really is no pattern that will be the same every day, and gamblers know that. But they don't seem to care about patterns and keep trying to play and have fun. If 3 days in a row a gambler can get a big win, preferably on the 4th day, he rests and doesn't try to play again because there is a possibility that his luck is not with him. Besides, he had already won a lot of money, so it was better just to enjoy his winning money. That's just a belief that after a 3 days straight big win, the bettor will rest in the 4th day as the bettor believe his luck will not be on his side on that specific day. We cannot possibly know when is our lucky day and that same bettor could've win 1 straight week if he tried but he/she choses to rest so he/she can neither identify if it's true that he will be unlucky in the 4th day. There's no right and wrong way about that, we hold our own fate and it's our decision if we will proceed down the road whether we won or lost in the past days. |

^^ That is also what we expect of him against Tagoe, win by a knock out but it didn't happen. However, we can't blame Ryan because Tagoe doesn't want to engage.
But in this fight, if Fortuna is willing to go toe to toe with Ryan, he should at least get a knock down. Again, as others have said, he needs to win impressively, to throw out the argument that he still have those mental issues he has, or his mind is not yet committed on boxing 100%.
well if that's true that he is willing to go toe to toe with the golden boy, then it expected that there will be a KO on this match and surely many people will choose Ryan Garcia as he has good percentage when it comes knocking out his opponent since then. And of course it's impossible to last upto 12 rounds if it happens, because we all knows that most of the aggressive opponents of Ryan Garcia always ended KO very very early.  The chances are good in Garcia's side if Fortuna chooses to have a toe to toe with him, he may have some advantage because of his experience compared to Garcia but the latter is a knockout specialist and he still remain that way if he will have the right chance, he is just struggling now but I know he can overcome it. It will be fun if indeed that's going to happen in their fight next month. |

If you haven’t seen this video, it’s from a great local YouTuber. He does lots of great stuff like giving things away to people in need, but he also occasionally makes videos as “fake” Klay Thompson. https://youtu.be/qtcDSwoxOUwThis video from game 5 got him banned from the Warriors arena for life and cost him to lose $10,000 tickets. Still funny. Check it out and some of his other videos as well. Yeah, I've seen his videos numerous times, at first I also thought he was the real Klay Thompson and the funny thing is that he is not saying that he's Klay but the way he looks and dresses somehow makes him like the real one. I saw the video yesterday and the dude overstepped his line as he deliberately fooled the employees as he entered the "employees only entrance" and shots some few balls in the court. That what got him banned lifetime in Chase Center. He is funny but he already violate the rules by pretending to be Klay and doing things Klay are doing in the Chase Center. Banned for lifetime, that's too painful but he has to acccep the consequences of his actions. Anyway, going back to the NBA finals, tomorrow will be a do or die for the Celtics, so it should be fun to watch. Yes, he is! I know that he's innocent and that he just want to make the crowd happy seeing him with Klay Thompson in their eyes even though some know that he's an impersonator. It's just sad that he's been banned inside the Chase Center for life because of what he did there, well, he still should do what he keeps happy and avoid those situations again that can destroy his name and Klay's. As for the game later, both teams will imagine that it's already Game 7 as their effort will be poured because this game will determine if the Warriors will claim the title or he will wait for the original Game 7. |

Boston Celtics fans should just continue to cheer up for the team as the series is not over yet. It's a rare situation where the Boston Celtics will suffer 3-game consecutive losses. The boost from the TD Garden's home crowd on Game 6 should give Celtics the momentum they need. Regardless of whether the Golden State Warriors will play well or not on that night, the Celtics will surely do everything to even the series and head straight to the decisive Game 7. Ignore any analysis and just focus on staying with the Celtics until the end. Don't give up Celtics fans as you have no choice but to do so.  They always bounce back, that is what the fans said and their record tells it. The Celtics will be at home and that's a great opportunity to tie the series while being boosted by the crowd filling them with more energy but they must play great defense to make that a reality. On other NBA threads, the discussion was about the Game 6 Klay and I bet they know that too. Don't let it confuse them as there are chances this may become a Game 6 Curry or a Game 6 Wiggins. Defend everyone on the highest level for this is a do-or-die situation. We'll see if the Boston Celtics can force their way to Game 7, it's indeed a do-or-die situation for them and the intensity, challenge and pressure will be on them. They need to prove again that they're the heaviest team in-terms of defense while transitioning to offensive, they need to adjust well because they have been lost 2 games straight and they need to make use of their sizes inside and outside. It will surely be a challenge for them whom to defend well because anyone from the Warriors roster are certainly capable doing that job especially the Splash Bros and now Wiggins, Poole and Porter too. |

We love this two fighters, but after the second fight, it seems that Canelo head and ego grow big as he doesn't want to give GGG his trilogy. But finally, it was set already so again, emotions are going to run high between the two fighters as GGG said that he won both fights and then chase Canelo for many years.
Who will resist expected big money in return just to accept the call of everybody to do a trilogy with GGG? Before the fight with Bivol, it was reported that Canelo reached an agreement to fight Bivol plus two more fights in 2022 in exchange for $160 million. That was just for 1-year fighting and that was an insane amount already that Canelo will surely bag this year, I think regardless of the result. We just don't how much specifically he will earn with the trilogy. That money figure that Canelo expectedly to receive this year alone, contributes to his status as one of having the highest net worth in sports. That amount is already huge, more than enough for his retirement. But he has a long way to go to his retirement phase. Canelo is favored on this match, so the pressure is real. He should show us a different Canelo here and have a very worthwhile match. Yes, that amount is already huge enough to cover his expenses for his along with his beloved family but that money is still not enough and he will still get more because we know that Canelo can still dance will in the ring and he is still at the peak of his prime, that said, $160 Million is just a small amount compared to what he could bag in the coming years. I'm just curious though, @goinmerry said, that said figure was paid to him in-exchange to fight Bivol and other 2 fights. Who's the 3rd boxer? As we all know, Bivol and GGG were the ones who established the fight this year, so there could be a 3rd fight for Canelo this year after September? I'm curious about that. |

I can attest that its also effective since we are using it too in our company every time there is a need for fast verification. However, even if that technology is very advanced and can eventually pinpoint if you are faking your identity or not, that does not guarantee that it can never be scammed by brilliant minds of minors. Technology should also know that. So for me, its really hard to control the minors these days not to gamble, unless if the parents will take the first step to protect their teens not to gamble.
At the home, the emphasis should not be on restrictions but on education about gambling, we have a saying that the more you restrict the more they will go for it because of curiosity, so parents should expose their children to gambling as a way to educate them but not to tempt them to gamble, children will listen if those telling them are their parents and about the truth of the subject. That will be a big challenge because we really need to be careful what to feed in our children's minds, there's a time for that and it's important to know when is the time to teach them about these things so that they won't go for that path with curiosity and we know that mostly it won't end well if they're not guided properly. Exposing them to a gambling environment may give them an opposite impact instead of educating them, it's still better to educate them without exposing them in that environment and introduce them to some hobbies that is quite different. |

Andrew Wiggins could also be the X factor in game 6, but I'm hoping that finally Klay will have a big game because we call him "GAME 6 KLAY", if that will happen, this series will be over and the Warriors will win in 6.
Oh, I totally forgot about that. Game 6 Klay. Who knows? We may see him bring more confidence in shooting the threes and also some accuracy. But even if he didn't bring that, I bet someone will step up their game again just like how Wiggins did. It could be Poole or Otto Porter Jr., who we know have their highlights in many different games. Klay's defense contribution though is much needed even if he is off the 3-point line. All of them have some chance to step up because Steve Kerr rotates his players properly to maintain enough rest for his key players. Game 6 Klay is also totally possible as he's showing some signs in Game 5 that he is back in his usual rhythm, so who knows he might be the key for the team to claim the championship this year. Wiggins and Curry are also competitive enough to give a hard time to the Celtics and make them confuse whom to be defended more as the Warriors roster are capable shooting inside and outside, there's no hiding when it comes to them. |

I am going to support Ryan - I like his speed and his punching technique.
Unfortunate for him that he is struggling with mental health - I think he is talented and smart - he can focus on his fitness and can live his dreams
I like his confidence and boxing skills too, you cannot compare him to anyone because the guy is still young and have lots of room for improvement. After this fight, I hope he will have his time to shine against a worthy opponent as well. We also need to see him struggling in his practice to level up and beat his strong opponents. He needs to fight someone who is a threat to his current record so that he will gonna further stretch his kills to the max and upgrade his power and speed to outmatch his next opponents until he became an undisputed champion himself. Despite of his issues on depression and mental health struggles, I can see that he is still ready to give Fortuna the best fight his opponent wanted. Seeing how Garcia fought in his previous games, I know this game will favor him. And yes, he all got confidence and boxing skills that i think will be more enhanced if he will be given opportunities to fight with most of the big time undefeated boxers, so that he can see himself too undefeated in his own chosen career. If after that fight he take more serious trainings and deal with much heavier sparring sessions, I guess coming in this fight he will be more ready, he's trying to hype his name and the only thing that he needs to do is to win this fight and find a new challenger that will create more noise for his name. We don't know how things will come up, but everything will be settled once he steps inside the ring and showcase his skills, then wins against Fortuna. Garcia's camp knows the big potential of him. They will bring him back to find the rhythm and try taking down Fortuna in a solid way of knocking him down.. Another easy challenger, but this time he needs to be more impressive if he wants to have a big fight with the champions that are waiting for him. They know that Garcia went through some mental and emotional problems, so they will see that as his weakness. Promoters are not convince yet, so they bring this another unknown guy just for Garcia to give a convincing win. I also see that way, promoters wants engagements with Garcia's name, if they will see more interest for him they soon bring him to a money fight that will allow him to face champion from his division, for now, he needs to take down Fortuna with an impressive win, a KO is more preferred to make sure that the social media will hype him up, though at other hand, Fortuna's opportunities to make a name here is also possible, Garcia is a known fighter. Before he has his issue, beating him will add to Fortuna's achievement as a fighter. Let see if how they will take this fight to the level that fans will enjoy and be entertained. Garcia should win this fight win an impressive outcome, a decision result will not lift his name. He was known as a knockout specialist so promoters are waiting to see that again in Garcia. They picked Fortuna for a reason and that is they know that Fortuna can be a good challenger to their boy and might push him in the corners if needed. Surely, Fortuna will try and seize this opportunity to make a name for himself that's why Garcia should try and finish the fight early with some good KOs. He shouldn't bark at those champions ahead from him because that won't matter as he's still trapped in his current situation, might as well focus first to loosen up those ends. |

Jordan Wiggins the young star player in the golden state warriors he doing so great that can carry his team to victory and best player of the game.
LOL, looks like you combine the two good players of the Warriors roster. It's actually, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.  Anyway, both of them did great, especially Wiggings who are the best player in the game. Maybe he just forgot to put a comma next to Jordan, just kidding! Both of them made sure to give their best to contribute to the team, it's just that Wiggins is more gifted in size that's why he can go against Tatum, Williams III and Horford. The kid have a bright future and he will be given more exposure to enhance his skills in the court, Green is getting older that's why the Warriors needs to invest in young good players in the center. Well, they managed to win the Game 5 and 1 win remaining to claim the title. |

Of course that is not the case at all times, Warriors knows it very well, they lost from 3-1 up.
And adding to that, the Golden State Warriors surely understand the importance of winning the game tonight. There should be no room for any mistakes and every possession should be managed properly at all costs until the last buzzer sounds. Game 5 is somehow considered the deciding factor or turning point of the series. Boston Celtics will do everything, as always, to take this game tonight for a chance to have that getting Larry O' Brien championship trophy at the TD Garden. It's been a while since the last championship takes place there. That's why I see them tonight as aggressive as they will be and will unleash their very best that looks like it's always their last game. While on the Warriors, losing is not an option. It's a must-win for the Warriors or else, a big problem is waiting for them in Game 6 in front of the Celtics crowd. Unfortunately, even though the Boston Celtics had mobilized all their strength, all their efforts were in vain because they lost by a fairly long distance score, the warriors were indeed very difficult to beat because they had a good playing strategy. So that from this match the Warriors finally won. Not just a good playing strategy but they literally live in the Finals from the last 8 years, just skipped 2 playoffs because they got terrible injuries. If the Celtics were a more mature team in the finals (which they obviously not because they have 0 experience in the finals) they could be in the winning position by now. That game 4 was the turning point for the Warriors. I'm afraid this series will be finished in game 6. That's what give them advantage in the series because they can adapt quick and make decisive adjustments that will be suitable for them as they are not gifted with huge players but they still make it work as they are more of an offensive team, now they are also adapting the Celtic's defense strategies. The way I see it, the Celtics may bounce back and the Warriors will finish the series in their home @ 7 as always. |

Canelo will still likely win this match because he now have more advantage than GGG, but getting a win in this trilogy won't give him much hype but he needs to endure this fight because this is his ticket to get a rematch agaisnt Bivol.
Yes, I agree with that. Winning against GGG won't put Canelo on fame as the big thing is by defeating Dmitry Bivol. If Canelo will win here, I think it's just a recognition that he will receive but the hype isn't that high because GGG is already on his retirement age and this trilogy might be his last fight. Regardless, Canelo has to win no matter what. If GGG wins instead, I doubt Canelo will have a chance to face Bivol in a rematch. Aside from that, Canelo might not get big fights and needs to go back from the below rankings before having a shot again to fight in a title match. Nobody have thought that Dmitry Bivol will be the 2nd boxer who will put a stain in Canelo's record, Bivol has the reach advantage but Canelo has the IQ in the ring as he is more experienced but the defending champion, Bivol has done a good job in frustrating Canelo. The judge's tried to help Canelo but the fight was really clear that Canelo was having a hard time getting near with Bivol. If GGG will win in this trilogy, I don't know anymore. Perhaps Canelo should go back down to his most comfortable division and make his name again great in that specific division. Yeah, GGG is also determined to win, and now that Canelo is coming from a loss that will make GGG more confident that he can exploit Canelo's weakness. After this, GGG can retire (regardless of the outcome) because he is not getting any younger and he has already achieved a lot in boxing to be called as one of the greatest, so he can enjoy his life while he is still healthy. It's easier for him to retire if he loses the fight because if he wins, it would open more opportunities for him to have big fights and that means a big payday for him, unless, he will think of his legacy and will retire with a pride, like what Mayweather and Marquez did. In the end, it still depends on the decision of GGG, he know his limit and he knows what he likes to achieve in life, so let's enjoy the trilogy as we have been asking for it. Yes, you have a point. We know that he's also determined to win because it's not the money he's up to but because he's been calling this fight for years now and at last (even if it's late) he's been given a chance to have a trilogy. GGG deserves more than this and not just an option or a reason for Canelo to have his name and fame back. If he wins, I'd still think that he will choose to retire and benefit from it even if there's more doors for him, he knows his situation and he's not getting any younger. |

At the end of the day, this was only trading, don't take it seriously as this wasn't all unless if you put all your money on this but it is important to minimize the risk by depositing only the funds that you can easily afford to lose.
Me, I am taking it seriously as I believe that is the only way I can be successful in trading. The market is confusing if we don't study, people with a lack of knowledge panic when the market is in a bear or bull period, but those who understand the market situation, its trends, and its past, will always make the right decision. just like now, the market is in bearish mode, people without enough knowledge will panic and dump their holdings, but those who understand will buy and sees it as a big opportunity to accumulate. |

Unbelievable that the Celtics couldnt even score a basket in the last 4 mins and couldnt get many stops either, to stop the flow and gain back the momentum. Incredible performance from the Warriors to have made the comeback away from home. Now the series is tied 2-2 and a lot of things to ponder for the next couple of days for the Celtics. They have to regain their confidence and get the offense flowing against the dynamic defense set up of the Warriors. There are times that luck is not in our side. And that's what happened to the Celtics. The Warriors did some incredible defense but it was also with luck that prevented Celtics from scoring in about 3 to 4 minutes. The Celtics attempting many three point shots too, maybe they should tried driving the ball because they are bigger and more athletic. Clearly as we approach to game 5 the Warriors are already in momentum. Celtics will have to put more defense especially to Stephen Curry because he was doing very well in this series. Warriors cannot rely on luck alone, it was the Celtics who are the most consistent team so far, and tough they are now the underdog, it doesn't matter because there's still good value betting on them to win the series. Curry was just outstanding, if he can carry that momentum, then Boston might be in trouble. They are the favorite to win, they are suppose to be the dominant team, but it seemed like Celtics are still underrated despite beating the Warriors in the previous 2 games with a decent margin. I don't know if Celtics will be able to bounce back in game 5, but I feel the Warriors will use their home court advatange to gain a lead in the series. They need to control the game like what they did in game 2. Overall, I still think that the Warriors are good, especially playing at home, so I think they will win but I would not be surprised if Celtics will steal another game on the road. Honestly, I'm surprised that Warriors outrebounded the Celtics when the Celtics have the size advantage, maybe they don't play hard enough like they did in game 3. |

Bounty campaigns are not lucrative enough. I wrote about 50 articles. It's been 3 months and only one has paid so far.
Really waste of time. But you can still try if you have free time.
It's better than not getting anything, yes, if you have plenty of time, you can do bounty but don't expect a lot as 2017 has already passed, that was the golden times of bounty and I don't know if times that like will come again. Just like investing, we risk our money hoping to succeed, but there's also a risk of losing, so in bounty, sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail, at least you did not risk any money. |

What an intense game, but in the end, Ginebra still manage to win.
I like the Blackwater here, they have become a competitive team already. For Ginebra, Thompson almost has a triple-double, his numbers are huge.
points - 14
rebounds - 16
assists - 9
Indeed it was an intense game, 82-85 is the final score and Blackwater covered the handicap. Thompson has really gained so much confidence in order for him to deliver that huge number, he is not the center but grabbing 16 rebounds (6 off, 10 def), that was just insane. |

I've been looking at some stats and I noticed, Curry and Thompson had an excellent performance on 3-point shots from Curry (7-14) and Thompson (4-10).
Green only had 2 points, but he got 5 offensive rebounds and 4 steals!! This shows he is a totally defensive player!!
Talking about the Celtics, Tatum scored (3-8) 3 point shoot and 3 blocks. Smart 3-9 (3 point shoot) and got 4 steals!!
The Celtic' "diamond trio" (Tatum, Smart and Brown) even played well, but if the others players could help them, I believe Boston's chances of winning this last game would be much higher!
Thank you for noticing that. Klay Thompson especially, he is being criticized until now by basketball analysts and I think they are wrong about him not back to his normal type of game. He is actually back but not just in his best performance just yet. The expectations is too high by this so called analysts and also forgot about the fact that Boston Celtics is a defensive team. They won't just let him shoot that ball for free, there will always be a guard to stop him. Green total steals in post season is 22 while Smart have 24. They are not that far, both DPOY awardee. Yes, Thompson may have a little contribution compared to the past NBA Finals, but man, we have to understand, he came from a major injury and when the returned, Warriors are back to the NBA Finals, isn't it a big improvement already? And also, let's not forget that Thompson had some huge games in the past rounds, maybe he is not that too consistent but he is very useful to the team. Of course, we have to understand where he is coming from, he is not fully healthy at the start of the season and he has to miss two seasons for rehabilitation, so we just have to appreciate his contribution as I believe he is not yet 100% but he is trying his best to hery his splash brother Curry. |
